《Saving the overbearing CEO》


 Chapter 1: Wen Qinxi The IT Guy

    Chapter 1: Wen Qinxi The IT Guy


    In a futuristic skyscraper located in City A, the office was boisterous with employees carrying out their daily targets in a vibrant colourful work environment. This wasn''t your average boring old fashionedpany run by old farts. It was one of the most unconventional yet productivepanies globally with innovative gamesunched every month catering to all kinds of preferences.


    The gaming experience provided by thispany was unmatched in the industry but it wasn''t enough for CEO Qie Ranzhe, a fourth-generation heir who built GameX from the ground up. GameX was always ahead of its time producing thousands of patents annually, always the head and never the tail.


    Qie Ranzhe had a game-changing vision that would wreak havoc in the gaming industry and thus introduced project gship with a team of experts brought on board to bring to life a new virtual-reality game with a whole new gaming experience that could bring theirpetitors to their knees and Wen Qinxi was part of that team.


    The genius had only been a part of thepany for less than a year. Nine months of beingbelled an intern though he had the full benefits of a permanent employee. Wen Qinxi went through months of hazing by senior staff, from coffee runs to photocopying documents and still achieve his daily targets.


    At first, he had epted it as part of thepany culture like making fun of the new guy but when the person employed after him didn''t go through the same experience, he soon realized that it was all on purpose. His co-workers instigated by his manager had overlooked Wen Qinxi''s outstanding resume and only focused on the high school he attended.


    The gossip after that was, "That new guy, Qi something went to the same school as the CEO and were even in the same ss. That''s why he got the job in the first ce,"


    "l heard he was the CEO''sckey in high school so he got the job pushing out more capable candidates,"


    The gossip got even weirder especially after being selected into the new team for project gship, "l heard he belongs to the CEO. He''s a kept man,"


    ''Fuck! Laozi belongs to no one,'' he thought angrily stomping out of the break room when he overheard them gossip. It was true that he and Qie Ranzhe were former ssmates but they barely had any interaction all throughout high school. Their social circles were worlds apart though they were physically separated by a single desk.


    Wen Qinxi fell under the charity case ss sponsored into the school for their outstanding performance but Qie Ranzhe was from the Forbes group that literally ran the school. To top it all off he was a male god the school grass featuring in every girl''s wet dream.


    The one memorable encounter he had with Qie Ranzhe was when he asked him to help throw a twinkies wrapper into the bin as he hurriedly ran off for swim practice. They operated in different circles and Wen Qinxi was fairly certain Qie Ranzhe didn''t even know his name let alone his face.


    But to the whole office, he was a man kept by the overbearing CEO. From then on, he stayed in his bat cave with his own personal coffee maker and packed lunch. He no longer mingled with the rest of the staff hence starting the legend of the troll that stews in his office all day long plotting against mankind. He came to work early and left workte that was his daily bread minimizing the risk of bumping into his co-workers to almost zero per cent.


    Today the so-called troll, Wen Qinxi, was busy programming the software for project gship when he received an unusual phone call. He picked it up with his eyes fixed on the monitor as he typed at light speed. "Hello, Wen Qinxi''s office, how may l help?" he politely answered the phone though cursing in his head, ''who the fuck would be calling when we have a fuckin deadline.''


    Recently the head of the department had been on their throats trying to get gship up and running before the previously stipted deadline, a direct order from the guys upstairs. The entirepany was made aware of the urgency of this project and hence the team was not to be disturbed but some jerk had the balls.


    "Umm...Wen Qinxi, sorry to bother you but l need your help," said an angelic loli voice that had him wagging his invisible tail, "myputer won''t turn on and tech support is not picking up, it''s pretty urgent. Will youe upstairs and help me please," she said in a pleading tone.


    "Okay l wi-," he replied before the phone was rudely cut off but he didn''t seem bothered. If it was anyone else, he would have told them off but Wen Qinxi immediately dropped his work and rushed like a knight to rescue the damsel in distress. That damsel was Li Menxie, a gorgeous goddess and one of the executive assistant to themander and chief. Okay, Wen Qinxi was not doing it for the good of thepany but for the good of his little brother, that was only familiar with the five knuckle shuffle.


    He hoped his charming looks and genius mind would score him some points with a beauty queen and even if she rejects him she could set him up with a few of her friends. He excitedly jumped into the elevator and pressed the highest floor possible that led to the director''s floor after that he had to be escorted into another elevator with military-grade security to get to the CEO''s office.


    Li Menxie smiled at him shing her beautiful pearly white teeth and led the way. Wen Qinxi''s IQ dropped drastically as he fumbled through his words trying to strike up a conversation. "So when did it start giving you problems?" he asked as she did a retina scan to open the elevator.


    "Since this morning," she replied with a fixed smile on her face that was obviously forced but Wen Qinxi was too dense to take a hint. She was somewhat irritated but had to act polite so he could help her before Qie Ranzhees into the office.


    "Did you check if all the ports were plug-in correctly because sometimes it''s as simple as that?" he asked with a sweet smile that would normally charm any maiden but Li Menxie who had been constantly exposed to Qie Ranzhe''s male god appearance had be immune to any other man''s charms. She only had her eyes set on the big whale and cared less for the nkton in the sea.


    "If I hadn''t would I have called you? Just get it done before the CEOes into the office," she replied no longer concealing her annoyance as the elevator doors opened. Wen Qinxi wasn''t stupid, he realised then he had been tricked intoing and was now being given a cold shoulder since it was toote for him to back down.


    ''I guess it''s just you and me for a while Lil bro,'' he thought to himself while walking over to her desk.

 Chapter 2: Chase A Skirt

    Chapter 2: Chase A Skirt


    Wen Qinxi didn''t waste any time, he was under pressure to deliver but had foolishly got roped into doing a task outside his job description all to chase a skirt. He had never felt this fuckin stupid before as he studied the device checking all ports. Li Menxie rolled her eyes at him thinking, ''You think I am that fuckin'' stupid not to check my ports before calling you?''


    Irritated to the max, she quietly slipped away while he crawled under her desk to inspect further. Wen Qinxi scowled when he figured out where the problem was, the plug wasn''t even turned on. "You didn''t check the power supply, somebody must have switched off the main circuit without your knowledge!" he yelled with his head lodged under the desk as he reached out to switch it on. The only thing you could see was his perky tooshie protruding from under the desk.


    Qie Ranzhe who had juste out of the elevator walked into this kind of situation with a strange man under his assistant''s desk talking to himself his butt sticking out. His brows furrowed as he gestured for security to manhandle the crazy lunatic hanging around his office without permission.


    Wen Qinxi who had just switched on theputer was then dragged out from under the desk and forced to face a domineering handsome guy with bewitching phoenix eyes holding him hostage. ''Fuck! Is this Qie Ranzhe? Holy shit how can a man be this fuckin handsome. Is he a fuckin god in disguise sent to shame the rest of us!'' he thought averting his gaze. He suddenly felt so inferior like a chicken amongst peacocks.


    Now he understood why his charming smile did shit for him on Li Menxie, faced with such a dazzling man every day what more could she want. It wasn''t just his face, the guy was a head taller than Wen Qinxi with a well-built body that made him envious. "Haha, I came to fix your assistant''sputer. I am the IT guy," he said nervouslyughing while staring at the beefy security holding his arms at either side.


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t say anything, he tapped the keyboard with his long slender fingers before cing his hands in his pockets. Wen Qinxi sneered within as he looked down at his own stubby fingers thinking, ''Just fuckin awesome, Mr Perfect over here making me feel like crap. Do you even have a single w?''


    "It seems to be working fine, what was the problem?" he asked in a cool unhurried tone.


    ''Because I fuckin fixed it you asshole!'' he screamed internally with a fake smile gritting his teeth. "It was a minor issue, the power source was switched off and I turned it back on for her."


    Qie Ranzhe nodded his head while saying, "Okay, I understand. What department are you from?" Wen Qinxi sighed in relief as the security released him, surely Qie Ranzhe was an understanding man. But no matter how understanding he was, Wen Qinxi was not stupid enough to truthfully divulge that he was from the innovation team and a lead programmer to the project Qie Ranzhe had rendered top priority. If he found out that he was here turning on a beautiful woman''sputer instead of working on the project, he would be in a shit load of trouble so he lied.


    "I am from Tech support," he said really d that Qie Ranzhe had absolutely zero impression of him otherwise who knows if he would still have his job by the end of the day. Just as Qie Ranzhe found the answer eptable, Li Menxie walked in with a touched-up face. She most definitely had slipped away to redo her makeup without even telling Wen Qinxi.


    ''Oh fuck me! You left me talking to myself like a crazy person just so you could look good for your boss. Shit! How can she be so ruthless,'' he thought while hoping Qie Ranzhe would let him leave.


    "Li Menxie, did you call tech support just to switch on yourputer at the power source?" asked Qie Ranzhe pointing at Wen Qinxi. Her once beaming face when she saw her boss quickly turned sour ring at Wen Qinxi with a ''don''t fuckin ruin this for me'' expression. That''s when Wen Qinxi realised he was going to be the sacrificialmb by fire by force.


    "No president Qie, he called me to inform me something was wrong with myputer and couldn''t gain remote ess to it so he had toe up and physically fix it," she said with a ck expression lying through her teeth. She knew Wen Qinxi couldn''t sell her out because he was guilty of abandoning a top priority project to help her. Hell, she was prepared to y the ''he is interested in me'' card just to save face.


    Wen Qinxi had an expressionless visage but was swearing like a sailor in his mind, he used swear words that weren''t appropriate to say out loud especially to ady.


    Qie Ranzhe seemed to believe his assistant more concluding the situation as ''guy likes a girl and decides to stupidly use his IT knowledge to strike a conversation''. He dismissed Wen Qinxi and asked security to walk him out.


    It would be an understatement to say Wen Qinxi walked out of this simply disappointed because he was extremely pissed off. Not just at Li Menxie but himself for being so stupid. At least Qie Ranzhe had no idea who he was otherwise he might have been pped with a serious warning or even lost his position in the team.


    Yes, Qie Ranzhe was that petty, he remembered the guy once tackled a boy for giving his girlfriend a unicorn pen which she had asked for in the first ce. The sad thing was that the victim had zero interest in girls but was still tackled for it. Wen Qinxi returned to his office feeling crappy.


    Qie Ranzhe, on the other hand, walked into his massive office while instructing Li Menxie to send the tech support guy''s file. He wasn''t going to let him get away without some form of discipline and maybe next time he won''t treat his office as a dating site. While waiting for the file he took out his phone before dialling a number registered Huangzhi. His brows furrowed when a pre-recorded voice told him that the number was currently out ofmission.


    He leaned back into his chair with a pained expression on his face pinching the bridge of his nose frustrated. Huangzhi was the only woman that ever piqued Qie Ranzhe''s interest enough for him to pursue her and he seeded. They had been involved with each other for five years going on six when he proposed to her. Though it was a long-distance rtionship, Qie Ranzhe was head over heels for her hence didn''t hesitate but things didn''t go as nned. She ruthlessly rejected his proposal, her reasoning being that he was boring and only put up with it because his mother begged him.


    Throwing money at her was useless because unlike every other girl, her family''spany was worth more than his. This was the reason why he worked hard to build something for himself so he could prove to her that he was capable but it wasn''t enough to make her stay. It was evident that his number was now barred and it hurt like hell being rejected.


    "Sir, I sent over the tech support guy''s file," said Li Menxie interrupting his thoughts with a bashful smile. She was fully aware of the Huangzhi situation and hoped Qie Ranzhe would notice her even if it was as a rebound. If that happened, she would be set for life. Just thinking about it caused involuntary fissions all over her body, she would never have to work a single day her entire life.


    "Wen Qinxi?" said Qie Ranzhe interrupting her corrupt fantasy.


    Qie Ranzhe''s eyes harden when he looked through the file, the pervert had lied to him. Wen Qinxi was part of project ''gship'' and a lead programmer at that. At first, he wanted to just cite him for inappropriate behaviour at work but now he had to go for a harsher penalty.

 Chapter 3: This skirt is too expensive

    Chapter 3: This skirt is too expensive


    Wen Qinxi only left the office when he was done fixing the script for ''gship'' and only left when he was sure there were no mistakes afterpiling it into a program. Tomorrow they were going to run a trial on ''gship'' so he had to be up early.


    He left thefort of a cosy office heading straight into the cold snowy night. Wen Qinxi ordered a ride and dinner from an app off his phone before crossing the street waiting for the car. Normally he would have taken the bus home but it was toote and didn''t feel like spending two hours in transit.


    The ride didn''t take time to arrive so he didn''t have to endure the cold breeze for long. He hopped into the car andzily leaned back as he removed his sses before rubbing his sore eyes. Spending the entire day looking at a screen wasn''t doing his eyesight any good but he loved his job and wouldn''t give it up for anything.


    While he was taking some time to unwind, he got a call from his younger brother, Wen Danzhe whom he chatted with all the way till he got to his shabby apartment.


    "What the fuck bro? You got yourself tangled with a green tea bitch!" yelled Wen Danzhe through the phone when Wen Qinxi retold his terrible day. His brother was so loud that he instinctively removed his ear phones and opted for the loudspeaker instead.


    Wen Qinxi let out an angryugh while receiving his food delivery. "How messed up is that right? Anyway it doesn''t matter at least it didn''t get me into trouble," he said tossing the bag of food on the kitchen counter.


    He took off his coat listening to his brother rehash how ruthless women are these days but Wen Qinxi was barely attentive settling down in the couch while opening hisptop. Because he was so busy today he hadn''t checked his emails and needed to confirm his schedule for tomorrow.


    While looking through his inbox sorting for an email about ''gship'', an odd-looking email with the subject ''Notification of bonus cut back for Mr Wen Qinxi grasped his attention. He froze when he read the heading and suddenly cursed out loud, "What the fuck! Shit, shit, shit!" while opening the email his fingers trembling like a leaf.


    His reaction startled his brother who was still rambling on about women. "What''s wrong? Qi why you are not answering, what the fuck happened?" asked a panic-stricken Wen Da.


    Wen Qinxi didn''t respond for half a day thoroughly reading through the email which mentioned how he had disobeyed orders frolicking around when he had an iplete top priority project. The penalty was getting his bonus shed in half but to him, that was a bucket load of money.


    He had a sibling and mother to take care of yet Qie Ranzhe had to go on being petty and screw things over for him. Curses rung the entire fourth-floor as Wen Qinxi vented his frustration. He was so loud that the neighbour had to knock on his door to shut him up.


    "Dage now that''s a fuckin expensive skirt and you didn''t even get to hold her hand. I think this is the most you have ever spent on a woman," said Wen Danzhe sympathising with his brother.


    "Shit! I am so fuckin pissed but I can''t deal with it till we finalise project ''gship'' otherwise he might ruthlessly sh the other half," said Wen Qinxi suddenly opening up the fridge to grab a beer. He normally wouldn''t drink during the week but he was just too angry to care.


    That night Wen Qinxi barely slept and woke up feeling heavy like he weighed a ton. Qie Ranzhe had really screwed him over but was powerless till at least after handing over the project.


    He literally dragged his feet all the way to the office with prominent panda eyes. He wasn''t in the mood to be here but he had no choice and so Wen Qinxi got straight to work. By the time the rest of the team arrived he had already run his program in the gaming capsule. The man was like a zombie downing tons of coffee but even as a zombie, he was still highly efficient.


    While the team was conducting a trial run they were unaware that the CEO was behind a one-way mirror watching them as the project manager reported their progress. Though attentive, Qie Ranzhe was more interested in the zombie with panda eyes who seemed as though he was running the show.


    Observing the little scammer now, made him feel a sense of familiarity as though they had met before but he couldn''t put his finger on it. "That Wen Qinxi is he any good?" asked Qie Ranzhe pointing at the nerdy guy currently pushing up his sses while typing at light speed.


    The project manager''s face crumpled hearing the CEO personally ask about Wen Qinxi especially after the rumours he heard that were flying around the office. Wen Qinxi''s former manager had warned him to be wary of that young man but he never thought much about it till now. "He seems okay. Sir if he doesn''t meet the standard I can rece him," said the manager unable to read Qie Ranzhe''s face.


    "You chose him for this project, if he doesn''t meet your standard then do what you think is best. I don''t give a damn who is in your team as long as you hand over the project by next week," replied Qie Ranzhe before walking out of the door. What he didn''t know was that the manager took his words to heart, resulting in Wen Qinxi being kicked off the project the very next hour.


    When Wen Qinxi heard that he had been reced as lead programmer and kicked off the team, he was so livid that the jerk of a manager had kicked him out just when the project was being finalised.


    He couldn''t help but me Qie Ranzhe and his stupid assistant for screwing with him over a trivial matter. The man didn''t take it so well throwing a fuss in his office till he eventually calmed down.


    The office suddenly felt stuffy, he just wanted a break from this crappy ce otherwise he might say something he would regret. He regained hisposure and opened hisptop applying for a five-day leave. Since it was a Friday and Wen Qinxi no longer had an urgent project, he packed his things and left without looking back.

 Chapter 4: Triple Binge Like A Pro

    Chapter 4: Triple Binge Like A Pro


    Wen Qinxi stewed on his couch ever since he left the office on Friday. He was literally growing roots on hisfy couch binge drinking, binge eating junk food while binge watching anime on Nflix. It was an all binge weekend only standing up to bath or receive his orders.


    Let''s not forget cursing out Qie Ranzhe every ten minutes. He even printed out an A4 picture of Qie Ranzhe he had taken off thepany website and fired darts at it while chanting bad karma for his enemy. Why from thepany website you might ask? Its because the dinosaur Qie Ranzhe had no social media ounts, not even a MySpace page.


    "Haha, you fuckin dinosaur," chuckled Wen Qinxi when he was searching the web for Qie Ranzhe''s social media ounts.


    Monday had finally arrived with Wen Qinxi snoring in his couch in an awkward sleeping posture we dare not speak off. Face down with his buttocks sticking out was one of Wen Qinxi''s weird sleeping habits. He only woke up when he slid off the couch with a loud thud falling straight to the ground.


    "What the fuck, Aiyo...my poor butt!" he cursed while rubbing his sore parts. His hair dishellevelled and crusts in his almond shaped eyes, Wen Qinxi entered the bathroom to freshen up while scratching his belly that was forming a little pouch.


    "Ah fuck, l am getting fat!," he yelled while looking down at his belly, " It''s all Qie Ranzhe''s fault. Ah!...I should stop eating takeout." He poured some water on his face beforezily cleansing it with some face wash. While roughly washing his face, he pondered on how he nned on spending his day.


    He hadn''t had a holiday in a long time and spent his public holidays doing work which his mother always scolded him for. "Whatever! l will just spend my day gaming or something," he said out loud while squatting some toothpaste on his electronic toothbrush but as soon as he ced the brush into his mouth he recalled something critical.


    "Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!" he swore while running to hisptop hoping it wasn''t toote. On Friday while running some tests, he discovered crucial ws in the system that needed to be addressed before handing over the project otherwise there would be dire consequences. But he had forgotten to mention them as he was unexpectedly kicked out of the team before he could fix it.


    He sent the email to the project manager with a detailed report on all the ws that required fixing before the hand over. Of course, he knew telling the project manager would lead the man into stealing credit but people''s lives were more important plus he could use this email record to get Qie Ranzhe''s leniency. He just didn''t inform them on how to fix it because he knew anyone with his basic qualifications could fix the problem.


    Satisfied with the email, he sent it through before going back to the bathroom to finish off his daily routine. By ten in the morning, the nerd was all strapped up ying some online game with some of his hacker friends.


    "Bruh, why the fuck you ditching a noob like me? l thought you said you would carry me!" yelled Wen Qinxi through his mic struggling to maneuver his game avatar.


    "Growdy parts then l will carry you, watch your six more boggiesing at you," replied yer two running further away from him.


    "Shit you guy-," said Wen Qinxibefore he got disturbed by the beeping sound from his phone. He pressed down on his headsets instantly answering the call without taking his eyes off the monitor. "Sorry guys," he apologized before answering the call but forgot to turn off his mic in the game.


    "Hey Wen Qinxi, the email you just sent me what''s up with it? l thought everything on gship was running smooth," said the project manager in a scornful tone.


    Wen Qinxi kept on ying while responding, "Noticed a problem on Friday, sort those out and it will be up and running in no time. Ah fuck l just died!"


    "What?" asked the perplexed manager thinking this man is too vulgar.


    "Oh sorry, was ying a game. Mm, fix it and it will be fine. Got to go," he replied hanging up the phone.


    "Aren''t you supposed to be at work? Why you asking him to fix it? Isn''t gship your baby?" rumbled on a nosy yer one.


    "Got kicked out courtesy of that fucker Qie Ranzhe," replied Wen Qinxi with a sullen look on his face.


    "Oh snap, if he knew you called him that he would fire you on the spot!" said yer three as they all burst outughing at his misery but Wen Qinxi didn''t find it funny in the least.


    ***


    Somewhere in Gamex offices the manager was done talking to Wen Qinxi on the phone and turned to Xia Bai who was now taking lead in programming gship.


    "Did you find what he was talking about?" asked the manager in a skeptical tone.


    Xia Bai swung around on his office chair and shook his head, " Nope but if Wen Qinxi saw it then it must be there. His a god when ites to this," he replied while turning back to his monitor, "Just bring him back so he can sort it out."


    "Forget it, he''s just causing trouble," said the manager before exiting the room.


    "Well he''s going to regret that," said Hei Bao the third programmer on the team. They both nodded in agreement, Wen Qinxi was indeed the best among them but his expertise was overshadowed by those stupid rumors.


    Whoever started them wanted to sink Wen Qinxi''s ship before it even set sail.

 Chapter 5: GameXs Downfall

    Chapter 5: GameX''s Downfall


    The week flew by like it had a vendetta against Wen Qinxi. They say time flies when shit is good and it was indeed good for him. The entire week was spent online to the point of forgetting that he even had a job. Walking around in his underwear all day long was weirdly gratifying. He was extremely grateful for the heating system otherwise he wouldn''t have been able to pull this off as cold as it was.


    He was so sad when he thought of going back to work that is until the man received a weird email from HR on a Friday stating that he would be paid his full bonus. Wen Qinxi thought he was still drunk fromst night and was still seeing things.


    He vigorously rubbed his sluggish eyes before jumping in excitement. Wen Qinxi didn''t know what changed Qie Ranzhe''s mind but he didn''t care enough to ask. He was so thrilled swaggering into the office as though he had won the lottery. The smile on his face on a Monday morning stunned the other employees.


    "Who would be this happy on a Monday morning, so fucking exhausting?" whispered one of the employees ring at Wen Qinxi.


    Wen Qinxi tossed his bag on his desk and sat on his swivel office chair before swinging around childishly. "Fuckin awesome," he said to himself whilezily gazing up at the ceiling. He didn''t know whether to write Qie Ranzhe an email thanking him for giving him another chance as he was ridden with guilt for chanting bad karma at him for an entire week.


    While his mind wandered around, his office phone suddenly rung jolting him awake. He dly answered on the third ring assuming it was about his next assignment but when he heard that voice his entire body grew cold. ''Fuck what does this bitch want now?'' he thought restraining his anger.


    "Wen Qinxi hope you had a lovely rest. May yo-," said Li Menxie before Wen Qinxi rudely cut the line. She wore a downcast expression in embarrassment as the phone was on louderspeaker in the board room. The board of directors all gazed at her thinking god knows what.


    Her cheeks were pink in embarrassment as she said, "Ah maybe he dropped it by mistake let me me dial again," as she redialed the number. Unfortunately for her, it happened two more times before one of the board of directors decided to interject.


    "Mr Wen before you cut the call, l am director Cheng and we have important matters to discuss with you concerning gship," said director Cheng talking so fast just in case he hung up again.


    "Oh, I apologise director Cheng but l am no longer a part of gship please refer to the project manager Mr Zhang," replied Wen Qinxi twirling a pen in between his stubby fingers. He couldn''t fathom why they were asking for him when he wasn''t a part of the team for more than a week.


    "Yes, we are well aware that you are no longer part of the team but you have been a part of this project since the beginning there is no one more familiar with the project than you. If its not too much trouble, may youe up to the boardroom to answer some questions," replied director Cheng his voice shaky but stern.


    "Sure, I am on my way," he said as he hung up the phone. ''Why the fuck does it sound like an interrogation!'' he thought to himself as he packed up everything to do with ''gship''. Mumblingpalints all the way, Wen Qinxi finally arrived on the director''s floor were he was led to the board room.


    While turning the corner he noticed a quivering manager Zhang seated in one of the offices with a pale face and panda eyes as though he hadn''t slept in a while. ''What the fuck is going on?'' thought Wen Qinxi when they finally reached the board room.


    He was instructed to sit at the opposite end of the room with all the directors facing him. It started to feel more like a trial than a Q & A. Wen Qinxi calmed his nerves before addressing the group of fat cats with their eyes fixated on him like he owed them money.


    "How may l be of assistance?" he asked in a rxed tone, you wouldn''t think he was nervous but his sweaty palms were selling him out.


    "Okay Mr Wen, let''s start with gship. Please exin how it works and useyman''s terms because some of us don''t understand programming," said a stout director with a partially bald head.


    Wen Qinxi raised one eyebrow wondering why these greedy bastards were asking him to host a kindergarten ss on a project they were all too familiar with. "Well ship is a realistic game new to this industry inspired by virtual reality games but in this case the gamer''s consciousness is transported into the game when they connect to the gaming capsule. The capsule is fully equipped with a nutritional supplements for those clients who would love to live in the game for longer periods. Shall l carry on?" asked Wen Qinxi irritated by the fact that he had to exin something they were already aware of.


    "Okay so what kind of games do the yers y inside?" asked a average looking director with old man sses.


    "All in all, they are five worlds to choose from. There is modern, interster, ancient, beastkin and wuxia worlds. A client can choose which ever one they prefer. The daily activities include some challenges but its all based on different storylines. They can also interact with other yers in the game, basically its like an escape from reality a chance to live different life in a world of your dreams."


    Li Menxie barely looked up while Wen Qinxi spoke, she had her head down the whole time but suddenly spoke asking a very odd question, "What if someone''s consciousness is split into five when they logged into the game?" she asked with a pitiful expression.


    Wen Qinxi couldn''t believe he had just heard that and chuckled. "How the hell can that happen unless the problems l pointed out weren''t resolved, wait..." he said when he saw the expression on their faces.


    ''Who the fuck would be stupid enough to try the capsule without fixing the problems he highlighted,'' he thought with a stern look on his face


    "Who is it?" he asked with genuine concern. This was extremely dangerous, it meant whoever it was, was basically stuck in the game and who knows how much more damage was caused by this.


    "Its CEO Qie Ranzhe," said Li Menxie with bloodshot eyes choking on her tears.


    ''Fuck! That shit works?'' thought Wen Qinxi thinking about the bad karma chants he was making the entire week. His heart twisted ridden in guilt.


    "Didn''t manager Zhang fix the problems l highlighted? This shouldn''t have happened," he replied in disbelief. it was obvious Qie Ranzhe wasn''t just going toe out of this without some external help.


    What would happen to thepany if the CEO remained a cabbage in a gaming capsule. Now he realised why his full bonus was reinstated. It was because they believed he could fix it but even if he fixed the software there was no way Qie Ranzhe would simply just wake up. He decided to jump the gun and be honest.


    "I might be familiar with gship but to be honest there is nothing l can do to help. It''s best if you seek help from a therapist or something because even if l fix gship, there is no way he wille of this just because l twicked the program," he said hoping they would let him go.


    ''Fuck! I need to go look for another job asap,'' he thought foreseeing the downfall of GameX.

    Wen Qinxi was anxious as the group of people gazed at him with teary puppy dog eyes as though staring at their savior. What did they expect him to do? He himself wasn''t even hopeful that Qie Ranzhe would ever wake up


    "Mr Wen you don''t understand. You are our only hope given your experience. Please hear us out," said director Cheng almost on his knees.


    It seemed they had a n but Wen Qinxi was not so optimistic. "Okay what would you like me to do because l am really not qualified to deal with this?" he replied with beads of sweat on his forehead, whatever wasing next had to be peculiar.


    "Here is the thing, we consulted with a world renounced psychologist, Dr Krystal in Russia and the proposed treatment would be sending some one into the game and guide Qie Ranzhe''s split consciousness to pass the game in each world. This way we can bring back his consciousness intact. That''s the only way he can finally wake up," exined the director with a hint of self-doubt that even Wen Qinxi noticed.


    This was just too hrious that he wanted tough out loud and he actually did. "Why the fuck would you pick me? l am thest person you can ask to do this. Why would you think he would ept my guidance?" he questioned them while shaking his head in disbelief, "Doesn''t he have family or girlfriend you can send in?" no longer minding hisnguage.


    "Well thats the thing we have already tried sending in a couple of people and some close to him but they all got thrown out off the game," replied the stout bald director while casually ncing at Li Menxie.


    Under the director''s gaze, Li Menxie clenched her jaw holding down her disappointment. She hoped saving the CEO would give her some brownie points but was ruthlessly thrown out of the game in less than a minute.


    "You still haven''t answered my question," replied Wen Qinxi with a deadpan expression. If they tried Li Menxie who spent the entire day with Qie Ranzhe, what about him, a guy he never interacted with a single day in his life except for a twinkies wrapper incident and being caught under Qie Ranzhe''s assistant''s desk?


    "Given your rtionship with CEO Qie Ranzhe and your knowledge about the game as its designer, we thought maybe you can give it a try," said director Cheng hoping to sway Wen Qinxi but all he got from him was a frown.


    "What rtionship?" he curiously asked because everyone seemed to think they were bossom buddies.


    "Oh for fuck sake Wen Qinxi just go try the game and see if it works! Our fuckin jobs are on the line here!" yelled an enraged Li Menxie with her chest heaving like an angry bull.


    A wide-eyed Wen Qinxi was bbergasted, taken aback by her heartfelt speech but quickly recovered. He wasn''t going to let her walk all over him again as the saying goes ''once bitten, twice shy''. It was all her fault in the first ce.


    "Who the fuck are you to say that? This shit is your mess, if you didn''t call me l wouldn''t have been kicked off the team and none of this would have happened. Fuck!" he said extremely pissed off. He regretted ever answering the call that unfolded such a chain of events.


    As you can tell already, Wen Qinxi has a short fuse and doesn''t watch his words when angry thus thenguage he used on Li Menxie. "Did l fuckin owe you in my previous life?" he carried on pointing at her. Director Cheng had to calm him down as Li Menxie exited the boardroom in tears.


    Only when she left did Wen Qinxi agree to give it a go and so they handed him a confidential file on Qi Ranzhe''s personal life to go through before logging into the game. Contrary to his belief, Qie Ranzhe''s life was kind of sad maybe even sadder than his.


    The guy might have been a male god but he didn''t have a life surrounded by sexy models like Wen Qinxi expected. The stern CEO was in love with some girl named Zhao Huangzhi but got dumped as soon as he proposed.


    His mother suffered from chronic depression ever since she got divorced by the love of her life and barely managed to raise her son with a sane mind.


    His father didn''t care much for him so Qie Ranzhe started his ownpany so as to avoid fighting for power with his younger siblings. He already had an ill mother that needed his attention, dog blood drama would just put strain on him so he chose to separate himself from all the trouble. These were just a few honorable mentions in Qie Ranzhe''s biography.


    This didn''t help ease Wen Qinxi''s guilt, in fact it was intensified. He felt so bad for not following up with manager Zhang maybe they wouldn''t have ended up in such a situation. Wen Qinxi signed a non disclosure agreement before leaving the boardroom for the game room.


    He had to sit patiently while some medical professionals performed a full cross examination of his body before giving him the thumbs up. Xia Bai and Hei Bao weed him back as they briefed him on what they had discovered so far.


    Qie Ranzhe''s consciousness in each world was fully immersed in what ever character he was. He had no recollection of his life in the real world but had showed some sense of familiarity when Li Menxie got inside the game.


    The current storylines he was in were an endless loop of tragic endings. All he had to was help Qie Ranzhe change the storyline to a positive oue in each world. This could count as passing an instance defeating the big boss. Passing all the worlds would allow his consciousness to return to his body intact.


    "Okay cool anything else l should know?" asked Wen Qinxi flipping through the game files.


    "Well, will bemunicating with you in the game all you have to do is activate yourmunication code. You want to pick one?" asked Hei Bao getting ready to input it into the system.


    Wen Qinxi kept on flipping through the file while saying, "Mm, Qieranzheisajerk thats the code," with a stern expression.


    "Sorry say that again?" asked Hei Bao thinking he had heard wrong.


    Wen Qinxi raised his head and repeated slowly," Qie Ranzhe is a jerk, no space small caps."


    Hei Bao and Xia Bai burst outughing. "Geez Bruh, you are fuckin hardcore!" said Xia Bai suddenly deciding to record all their conversations in the game thinking how Qie Ranzhe would love to rey these records when he wakes up.

 Chapter 7: First World

    Chapter 7: First World


    An anxious Wen Qinxiy down in the gaming capsule as Hei Bao hooked up all the necessary things while giving him somest minute advise.


    "Don''t forget tomit to whatever character the system gives you otherwise you might get kicked out. Oh and time in the game is faster so no need to stress abouting out of the game ten yearster. Crap what am l saying, you might not evenst a minute haha." said Hei Bao half-jokingly but Wen Qinxi just wanted to shove a dirty sock in his mouth to shut him up.


    "Too noisy, I am not fucking stupid," replied Wen Qinxi as he shut his eyes to log into the game.


    The next moment he opened his eyes at a game teleportation centre were the story of the first world was brought to light. It was indeed as tragic as they had described.


    The first world was historical based with Qie Ranzhe as the ckened protagonist with a terrible fate. The man was dumped in the trash when he was just a newborn. He could have died in the cold dead winter but was lucky enough to be adopted by a poor olddy.


    Sadly for him the olddy died just when he turned five leaving him homeless as the only living heir to the deceased seized the house kicking out Qie Ranzhe on to the street. From then on the boy became a street ruffian leading other homeless boys as their boss.


    The boys survived stealing from the rich justifying it as payback for all the abuse they endured from the arrogant bastards. One day while hunting in the forest, he found a maiden by the name Zhao Huangzhi caught in one of his traps instantly falling hopelessly in love.


    She was the second person who ever showed him unconditional love and for her, he was willing to turn his life around and so joined a guild to make something out of himself so he would be worthy for her hand. This was his motivation as he climbed from rank to rank bing one of the most skilled members with exceptional talent.


    He was soon promoted to the highest rank were he was transferred to work for the emperor as a mercenary only to discover something disturbing. He was an exact replica of the emperor only years younger. It was soon revealed he was the son of his favourite concubine who vanished from the pce years ago.


    The thrilled emperor crowned him as his sessor which didn''t settle well with his brothers especially his younger brother Qie Anzhie. Out of jealous and greed, Qie Anzhie sought to destroy Qie Ranzhe by revealing his dark history and stealing the woman he loved. And so was the birth of a ckened genocidal manic who made rivers run red obliterating anyone who dared speak against him. For a man that evil there could only be a sad ending as he died a painful death from strychnine poisoning. END


    "Fuck! What a shitty ending," said Wen Qinxi when he finished reading. It was just too pathetic that he actually felt sorry for Qie Ranzhe who was stuck in an endless loop going through the same thing over and over again.


    "Wee Wen Qinxi to ship an innovative gaming experience that will su-," spoke the gaming system before it was interrupted by Wen Qinxi


    "System skip the intro and openmunication channel," he said while brooding on a strategy to help Qie Ranzhe seed. He envisioned himself being a old grandmaster guiding a young hero to victory like in Karate Kid.


    "Oh, how rude and my name is not system but Jolie as in Angelina Jolie. Please enter passcode," said the system with an attitude.


    "Seriously l designed you yet you argue with me about a name. If you ask me system works just fine," replied Wen Qinxi with a smirk on his face.


    "Pretty fuckin awesome of you boss. You get a dog and name it dog. Well done such a great naming system," said the Jolie in a sarcastic tone.


    "What the fuck! Fine, fine Jolie. Pass code Qieranzheisajerk," he replied deciding not to argue with an AI before the game even started.


    "l don''t think my CEO will appreciate that but who l am to judge your stupidity. Channel open, good bye,"


    Wen Qinxi couldn''t believe what he had just heard, someone had tinkered with his creation and it had to be one of those bastards in the gaming room.


    "Wen Qinxi how is it going in there?" asked the busybody Hei Bao.


    "Why did you mess with my system, its just a prototype but you have already given it a stupid name," heined wishing he could get back out there and lock some functions so they wouldn''t change a thing.


    "Whoo hold it right there, it wasn''t me. It was Xia Bai," replied Hei Bao pointing at the real culprit.


    "You have to admit bro, calling a system, system was prettyme," said a defensive Xia Bai.


    "What about the F bombs its dropping was that you too?" asked Wen Qinxi feeling sorry for future clients who would have to interact with a vulgar sassy system


    "That wasn''t me l wonder whoelse curses like a sailor all day? Oh right, that''s you. It definitely learnt it from you," said Xia Bai taunting him.


    Wen Qinxi suddenly couldn''t refute that, he had a filthy mouth so it only made sense. Once he was done helping Qie Ranzhe, he vowed to redesign the system. "Fine, fine, what character am l going in as?"


    "Let me check," replied Hei Bao looking through the system. Suddenly a pop up screen appeared in front of Wen Qinxi asking him to start the game. He abruptly clicked yes and was instantly teleported into the first world but he didn''t wake up on afy bad ornd nicely on the ground.


    Wen Qinxi woke up underwater drowning as the water rushed into his lungs. The guy couldn''t swim and so struggle as the roaring waters swept him down river. When they said he should create a realistic game, he truly created an exceptionally realistic game. The feeling of drowning was simply too real.


    By sheer luck, he managed to grab hold of a floating log which ultimately saved him from drowning and being kicked out of the game so early. "Guys! Guys!" he called out to Hei Bao and Xia Bai but none of them responded.


    Wen Qinxi continued drifting till the river had lost much of its strength allowing him to reach the river bank. He was panting and gasping for air while lying on the ground when he heard a little girl screaming. "Ahhhh its a ghost!!!!!" she screamed while running toward town.


    A puzzled Wen Qinxi raised his head in confusion. "Where? What fuckin ghost?"


    "Uhm senior Wen," said a nervous Hei Bao who all of a sudden called him senior which none of them ever did. "Your character is Lin Jingxie, a rich young master and tyrants. Apparently you have been a serious cannon fodder, bullying Qie Ranzhe''s boys for years."


    "Oh snap thats messed up. How am l supposed to help him now?" he said lying back down in defeat.


    "Ahem," coughed a nervous Xia Bai, "that''s not the worst of it. The whole town heard you drowned but your body has been missing for three days and Qie Ranzhe is that one who killed you though only him and his boys know that secret," exined Xia Bai before cutting offmunication using ''out for lunch'' as an excuse.


    They didn''t want to hear Wen Qinxi cursing them out to high heaven. As the saying goes what you can''t hear, can''t hurt you. Even the system packed it''s bags not forgetting to censor him on the way out.


    "F@#$##$#$#@@@##k!" cursed a censored Wen Qinxi venting out his anger. Not only did Qie Ranzhe hate his character, he even killed him, well now it was attempted murder. How was he going to help him now?


    ***


    Some where in the forest a group of boys hunting suddenly got interrupted by a little boy calling out to them. "Big brother Ran! Big brother.....huh...phoo....Li-Lin Jingxie is alive!" said the boy huffing and puffing trying to catch his breath.


    "Fuck!" yelled a stunned Qie Ranzhe.

 Chapter 8: First World: Lin Family

    Chapter 8: First World: Lin Family


    Wen Qinxi went through four of the five stages of grief while lying on that river bank.The man just couldn''t achieve thest stage which is eptance, there was no way he was epting of this situation. He didn''t know if the sassy system had a vendetta against him or this was just his bad luck.


    At least the system was kind enough to leave all the information of his character''s past crimes but as he started going through the information he started to doubt whether it was out of kindness or just another ''screw you'' moment from the system.


    Feeling defeated, he stood up while watching each crime rey in his mind. Each step he took in the direction the little girl had run off to, his shoulders drooped an inch lower. This character was just too brutal, what crime didn''t hemit?


    The first time he met Qie Ranzhe, he had him beaten up by muscle for hire simply because he didn''t greet him on the road. Mind you they were only seven years old at that time.


    Qie Ranzhe was beaten ck and blue with cracked ribs. If didn''t have the protagonist halo, he would have certainly died. Lin Jingxie crossed the line numerous times like giving poisoned food to one of Qie Ranzhe''s boys. Though the kid didn''t die the side effects were brutal.


    Each day he would find ways to screw with Qie Ranzhe and his gang but one thing finally drove the protagonist off the edge leading to the cannon fodder''s demise. One of the youngest boys in the group was caught stealing medicine from a phamarcist which was unfortunately witnessed by Lin Jingxie.


    The young master paid for what the boy stole and took him to a waterfall up the river asking him to jump. If he survived, then the reward would the medicine for his sick brother currently in Lin Jingxie possession. Having lost a couple younger brothers before, the boy agreed to jump but was too scared changing his mindst minute.


    An irritated Lin Jingxie proceeded to push him off the cliff but was rescued just in time by Qie Ranzhe. The young master was now outnumbered and Qie Ranzhe wasn''t going to let him get away with it and so told him to either jump or he would kill him right then and there. This was how Lin Jingxie met his fate.


    Wen Qinxi had watched a couple of dog blood dramas courtesy of his mother but this was just too depressing. While dragging his heavy feet all the way to town, he met a crowd of people heading his direction. Among them were servants of the Lin family who were so happy to see their young master safe in one piece.


    "Young Master Lin, wuwuwuwuwu....we thought you were dead. Master and Madam haven''t slept a wink searching for you," said an old servant as he checked if Lin Jingxie had any injuries.


    ''This fuckin jerk Lin Jingxie actually has people who care about him as evil as he was?'' thought Wen Qinxi with a fixed smile.


    He wasn''t even sure what sort of reaction Qie Ranzhe will have after seeing him. ''He will probably fuckin finish me off,'' thought Wen Qinxi as they entered the town heading towards Lin Mansion.


    You would think that Lin Jingxie was the way he was because he was abused at home or something along those lines but the young master actually grew up in a loving family with nock in every aspect. Wen Qinxi could only guess the character had some mental disorder or psychopathic tendencies because nothing else could exin his behavior.


    As soon as he reached the gate for the mansion, a beautiful shortdy embraced him crying her eyes out in joy. "Jin-er my poor baby where have you been.....wuwuwuwuwu? Mummy was so worried about you," cried Madam Lin frantically checking on her son.


    She only stopped when Master Lin showed up with an expressionless face but his eyes sold him out. He was happy to see his son back home alive and well. He ced his hand around Lin Jingxie''s shoulder and embraced him for a split second without saying anything before guiding him into the main hall.


    Wen Qinxi was certain these parents had no idea what their son had been upto otherwise they would have reprimanded him especially his father. Master Lin looked like the strict military type parent who didn''t tolerate any nonsense. They sat together with the parents facing their son expecting him to divulge the details of where he had been.


    Faced with concerned parents, Wen Qinxi felt like crying. What was he supposed to say, ''Sorry mum and dad l have been a shitty tyrant for years bullying defenseless boys that finally retaliated and killed me in cold blood.'' Wen Qinxi sighed internally conjuring up a white lie.


    "I am sorry l worried you, it wasn''t my intention. Three days ago l went to waterfall to enjoy the view and clear my head when l slipped on a rock and fell over till I wash up on the bank near the town," he said unable toe up with a better lie.


    Judging from Madam Lin''s expression, she seemed to believe him but Master Lin was no fool. "What were you doing there all alone when you can''t even swim?" curiously asked Master Lin with piercing eyes suited for an interrogator in crime drama.


    A vulnerable Wen Qinxi who never had a dad before stammered unable to announciate a single syble. ''Fuck! Are all dads like this?'' thought Wen Qinxi feeling an overbearing pressureing from the man of the house.


    "Dage!" yelled an ecstatic teenage boy effectively interrupting Master Lin''s interrogation. Wen Qinxi was so grateful to the boy for saving his ass but soon regretted it. The boy was Lin Jingxie''s only sibling named Lin Mingxu with an abnormal brotherplex.


    Lin Mingxu embraced his brother''s waist wailing even louder than Madam Lin did before. "Jin-ge wuwuwuwuwuwuwu....where have you been? I have been looking everywhere for you. Don''t ever leave me again wuwuwuwuwu." The teenager was like a sticky caramel candy apple on a hot summer day.


    Even Master Lin had to reprimand his son who was crying as though it was a funeral. Lin Mingxu ording to the files, wasn''t actually a bad character but because he loved his brother so much, he would listen to him. This made him an essory to the crimes all for brotherly love.


    Wen Qinxi even noticed some purple bruises on Lin Mingxu''s corbone that were obviously as a result of being beaten. The idiot probably harassed Qie Ranzhe and his gang to tell him where Lin Jingxie was but of course, it didn''t end well for him.


    "From now on I will move into Jin-ge''s room so l can keep a close eye on him," said Lin Mingxu still embracing his brother. Wen Qinxi couldn''t help but feel distressed, even his real younger brother wasn''t this clingy. Lin Mingxu would just inconvenience him if he did that.


    "No thats not happening you little brat. Stay in your own room," yelled Master Lin with an authoritative voice that made Lin Mingxu cower.


    "And stop squashing your brother, he''s been through so much. Go check whats keeping the physician, he should have been here by now," said Madam Lin sessfully getting rid of Lin Mingxu which Wen Qinxi was truly grateful for.


    A servant walked in with a tray of hot shrimp congee especially prepared for him. "Here eat, you must be starving," said Madam Lin stirring the porridge for him before attempting to feed him with her own hand.


    "Are you serious? He had a near death experience not a disability, his hands are working just fine," said Master Lin scolding his wife who was babying a big boy.


    Wen Qinxi gave her a warm smile before taking the bowl from here. "I will do it mother, thank you." They both looked at him with suspicious stares stunned by the politeness. Lin Jingxie was always gruff with his mother that his father usually had to interject.


    "You must have hit the right rock when you fell into the water," said Master Lin keenly observing him. Under the watchful gaze of the Lin couple, Wen Qinxi ate the delicious shrimp congee with Madam Lin only letting him go when the bowl was empty.


    Wen Qinxi went to what was Lin Jingxie''s room and sprawled on thefortable bed while pinching the bridge of his nose calling for the system.


    "System," he called out in his mind but it didn''t respond, "Systeme out or I will downgrade you when l am done here."


    "My name is not system. How would you fucking like it if l call you human? Hey humane out!" said the system not at all threatening by his words.


    "Haaaa....fine, fine Jolie open themunication channel," he replied reaching his boiling point.


    "I didn''t hear the p word. Call me when you have some fucking manners," said the system instantly fleeing the scene and thus Wen Qinxi was censored yet again in a short space of time.


    "S@%#%#%#@%# system, f@%#%@%@%@ your mother and f#%#%@%%@%@ your grandma too!" cursed a frustrated Wen Qinxi.

 Chapter 9: First World: Sticky Ming Ming

    Chapter 9: First World: Sticky Ming Ming


    Only after some breathing exercises did Wen Qinxi finally calm down but when that system left it left for good. He really wanted to teach that AI a lesson as soon as he got out of the game.


    Fatigue was finally catching up on him when his door was abruptly opened like someone was being chased. ''Who the fuck?'' thought Wen Qinxi sitting up straight wearing a quizzical expression. Lin Mingxu walked in slightly panicked looking as though he was worried Lin Jingxie would disappear on him again.


    When he came back home, he found the main hall empty and ran to Lin Jingxie''s room in a panic thus opening the door like he owned the ce. "Jin-ge you scared me, l thought som-," said Lin Mingxu before Wen Qinxi cut him off.


    "Mingxu go back outside and do what you are supposed to do whenever youe to my room," said Wen Qinxi pointing at the door. At first Lin Mingxu thought his older brother was just pulling his leg but Lin Jingxie was serious with a darkly expression all over his face.


    "Mm," replied Lin Mingxu with a doleful appearance walking back outside but he didn''t close the door peeking at his brother.


    "Mingxu!" yelled Wen Qinxi terrifying enough to make Lin Mingxu close the door. He had to do this otherwise the character''s younger brother might walk in next time while his talking to the system which will result in a discrepancy and ultimately get him kicked out of the game.


    A soft knock disrupted his thought process and only allowed Lin Mingxu after knocking three times. "From now on you knock and wait for me to let you in, do you hear me?"


    "Mm dage, l promise," replied Lin Mingxu with hand on his chest as though reciting the national anthem.


    "Is there something you need?" asked Wen Qinxi hoping to have some alone time just in case the systemes back.


    Lin Mingxu dragged in the physician he had brought along to check on his brother. "I brought him to check on you," he said pushing the physician towards his older brother.


    The middle-aged physician seemed terrified of Lin Mingxu as he fumbled through his medical bag with trembling hands. Wen Qinxi scowled and ced his hand above the physician''s shaky hand. "It''s okay, take your time," said Wen Qinxi ring at Lin Mingxu who was averting his gaze.


    "l didn''t do anything to him, he was like that when l found him," said a defensive Lin Mingxu while scratching his head. He had found the physician having dinner and threatened him toe with him that instant otherwise he would beat him up till he was wheelchair bound.


    "Mingxu, if you keep threatening people, l will have no choice but to spank you like l did when you were younger!" yelled Wen Qinxi recalling how scared Lin Mingxu was of being spanked but his brother.


    "Okay, okay brother no need to go that far. I will do whatever you say," said a disgruntled Lin Mingxu as he sat next to his brother like a puppy expecting its master to pat it.


    "Please check him his bruises when you are done," said Wen Qinxi as the physician checked his pulse.


    Lin Mingxu shook his head refuting but Wen Qinxi opened up his cor asking, "What the hell is that then? Don''t you ever mess with Qie Ranzhe otherwise l will disown you as my brother."


    Gasping in horror with teary eyes, Lin Mingxu pled with Lin Jingxie which Wen Qinxi found interesting. This threat would never work with his real brother, they might even end up tussling til Wen Qinxi yielded and call his younger brother dage. Yep, Wen Danzhe is so much bigger than Wen Qinxi and would always win whenever they tusseled.


    Wen Qinxi pat Lin Mingxu''s hair and sent him off once the physician was done which was difficult to do because Lin Mingxu insisted on staying. It''s only when he promised to y checkers with him after dinner did he finally leave.


    "Learnt some manners yet?" asked the system as soon as Lin Mingxu was done.


    Wen Qinxi sighed heavily and addressed the cheeky system. "Yes Jolie, l learnt some manners. May you please open amunication channel?" spoke Wen Qinxi through his teeth tightly clenching his fists.


    "Much better though l can tell you are forcing it. Your code please?" said the system wishing it had a face so it could smirk right back at him.


    "Qieranzheisajerk," said Wen Qinxi in his mind wondering if the system will make him say it each and every time.


    "Woh! Someone wants to lose their fuckin job haha. Anywaymunication channel opened," said the system before disappearing.


    "Hey guys do you think Jolie gave me this character on purpose?" asked Wen Qinxi as soon as the channel was opened


    "Maybe...maybe not," replied an uncertain Xia Bai while chewing on some crisps with no care in the world.


    Wen Qinxi frowned, these two were not meant to be eating or drinking in the game room and had the audacity to answer his call while breaking the rules. "Are you two fuckin eating in game room? Are you being serious right now?" said Wen Qinxi in a stern tone reprimanding them.


    "Noooooo we are not," replied a thin-faced Hei Bao as they both paused their chewing motion as if that could convince Wen Qinxi otherwise. "So what''s your n to help Qie Ranzhe?" said Hei Bao trying to divert his attention from the snacks.


    A passionate Wen Qinxi paced up and down reiterating his n of action choosing the shadow master n. "I will help him in the background. To prevent him from ckening, l need to halt the bullying which l hope is not toote, help him get Zhao Huangzhi and destroy his enemy before his enemy gets to him. I just need to do it without him knowing. What do you guys think?"


    "Greaaaattt n, excellent," said the two simultaneously but in actual truth they weren''t listening silently fighting over thest potato crisp. They literally fought with their eyes with one using the other for eating more and has to give up thest crisp but the other using a ''firste first serve'' rule.


    In all of this Wen Qinxi kept on talking thinking they were listening to him. Little did he know the two idiots were engaged in a ''Battle for thest potato chip'' that could ruin their friendship.


    One of them identally broke the vow of silence yelling, "It''s just a damn chip Bao not some cheap potato crisp, l ate less so it-,"


    "Are you two fuckers still eating in the game room? Citation all of you stupid nerds, why the fuck would you....," yelled Wen Qinxi angryly cutting him off but the rest they couldn''t hear.


    Both men looked at each for a while before Xia Bai asked, "Did you mute him?"


    "Yes, l fuckin mute him, peaceful right?" said Hei Bao feeling proud of himself.


    "Yes quite handy. Will mute him each time he blows his top off. You!" yelled Xia Bai who was too busy talking to notice Hei Bao shove thest piece they had been fighting over all this time into his mouth.


    "Haha," chortled Hei Bao chewing but Xia Bai lunged at him yelling,


    "Spit it out you piece of shit! If l can''t have it then so can''t you!" chasing him all around the game room.


    An oblivious Wen Qinxi only realised something was wrong after cursing them out for ten minutes straight. He couldn''t wait to get out and p fines in their faces.


    ***


    Somewhere in a dpidated cottage in the forest, Qie Ranzhe was calmly roasting a pheasant when one of his oldest friends, Manchu with no family name, showed up to give him a report.


    "Ran-ge, Lin Jingxie hasn''t said anything about what happened. No one is sharpening their knives to hunt us down yet. What should we do?" he asked purely concerned for their own safety.


    Ever since Lin Jingxie was found alive the boys had been hiding in the forest ready to up and go if things escted but the storm they were waiting for hadn''te, at least not yet.


    "Tomorrow will follow him and have a private chat. I will personally finish him off by end of day tomorrow," he said with an unreadable expression handing over the fully roast pheasant to Machu to share with the boys.


    Hey on the prickly straw pinching the bridge of his nose thinking, "Lin Jingxie what the fuck you ying at?"


    If this was Lin Jingxie''s way of intimidating him by waiting longer to exert revenge and only strike when he least expected it then Qie Ranzhe would have to disappoint him.

 Chapter 10: First World: Man Of The Hour

    Chapter 10: First World: Man Of The Hour


    Wen Qinxiid down operation ''save the overbearing CEO'', listing down a detailed n simply waiting for him execute it but there was one tiny problem.


    That problem was a sticky Mingxu that just wouldn''t leave him alone. Every time Wen Qinxi stood up a set of questions would fly in his direction like ''Where you going?'' followed by ''I''lle with you'' and ''Why can''t le?'' which was driving Wen Qinxi insane.


    The one time he tried to use the ''not my brother'' threat, Lin Mingxu came up with a ''l know your secrets'' counterattack. At this rate Wen Qinxi might end up stabbing himself just to get away from that sticky tofu.


    Wen Qinxi only managed to shake him off after what could be described as an borate n to be rid of Mingxu. He left the mansion at the speed of light like his ass was on fire just in case Lin Mingxu came back earlier than expected.


    All his life he had never gone to such an extent to avoid someone before. "So fuckin sticky, are all brothers like that?" he asked Hei Bao and Xia Bai through themunication channel.


    "Mine is like that but his five so," replied Hei Bao while scanning the system. "Oh shit!"


    "What?" said Xia Bai and Wen Qinxi at the same time curious to know what had Hei Bao''s panties in a bunch.


    "What''s Qie Ranzhe trying to do? His boys have been tailing you ever since you left the mansion. l think they n on assassinating you," said Hei Bao showing Xia Bai what he was seeing. But before Wen Qinxi could respond, they muted him while discussing something hical.


    "ce your bet, 200 says his going to sh his throat as soon as he sees him. Qie Ranzhe will go for instakill, brother Qi will be dead in two minutes," said Xia Bai mming money on the desk.


    Hei Bao took out some money while cing his bet, "Wen Qinxi is a smart mouth, he willst ten minutes. Whoever has the closest time wins."


    Meanwhile Wen Qinxi was picking up his pace as he watched his ''in the shadows n'' flushed down the toilet page by page. ''Fuck at least l had a good run,'' he thought picking up his pace but he couldn''t shake his tail no matter which turn he took.


    Of course, he couldn''t get away as these boys lived and breathed these streets day in day out There was no way he was going to outrun them not unless hell froze over which would never happen.


    If Wen Qinxi said this was just a game and wasn''t terrified one bit, that would be a lie. Even though he wouldn''t die in real life he could still feel pain and for an algophobe like him that was essentially hell. With that in mind, his pace graduated from striding to scuttling fraught with danger.


    "Jolie don''t l have some kind of skill to survive this?" asked a breathless Wen Qinxi as he dashed into an alley sacred stiff.


    "I advise you to try and recite some poetry maybe that can help you because that''s what your character is good at. Shakespeare them to death Wen Qinxi, Jiayou!" replied the cheerful system wishing it had some popcorn to enjoy while watching this horror show.


    "Fuck! Why did he have to be a fucking schr who can''t even swim. Jolie reduce pain index, at least l can die with a smile," replied Wen Qinxi turning a corner which was the stupidest decision he had ever made. Qie Ranzhe''s goons surrounded him mocking the rich young master who should have stayed dead.


    ''l am sorry to say but the pain index function is currently unavable. Plus it will only affect your gaming experience,'' said Jolie wishing it could ce a bet.


    ''Jolie who fuckin cares about the gaming experience right now when l am about to die!'' cursed Wen Qinxi in his head while nervously smiling at the rowdy boys surrounding him.


    ''Oh, l am sorry you feel that way. Anyway make sure to rate the system when you die, oh sorry l meant when you exit the game. Bye!'' said the system which didn''t really leave but gotfy waiting for the blood bath tomence as the man of the hour showed his face.


    Qie Ranzhe was swaggering his way through the group of boys who instantly gave way for him. The man was as gorgeous as ever with an exaggerated domineering aura more suppressive than in the real world. This version of Qie Ranzhe was more terrifying that Wen Qinxi suddenly missed the CEO version.


    The closer Qie Ranzhe got to him, the faster his heart thumped against his chest. He instinctively closed his eyes shut when the protagonist suddenly wall mmed him speaking in maic icy voice, "Young Master Lin l truly apologize for not doing an effective job thest time but this time l will surely get it right," while Manchu handed him a dagger.


    Wen Qinxi suddenly opened his eyes only to see the dagger twirling in between Qie Ranzhe''s long fingers. ''Shit! l have do something otherwise this crazy bastard will kill me,'' he thought nervouslyughing which took Qie Ranzhe by surprise.


    "Dage let''s talk this out in a civilized manner. Violence won''t solve anything," said Wen Qinxi in a shaky voice as he felt a cold sweat pass over him like a ghost at a seance.


    "Sure go ahead l am listening," said Qie Ranzhe folding his arms across his chest watching Lin Jingxie''s every move.


    Wen Qinxi heaved a sigh of relief, at least Qie Ranzhe was still sensible. "Heres the thing, l did bunch of horrible things in the past and you almost killed me for it which is fair so why not start off on clean te?" negotiated Wen Qinxi struggling to read Qie Ranzhe''s emotions as the guy remained expressionless.


    "Let''s just say my near death experience made me reevaluate my priorities. How about this, l don''t screw with you and you don''t screw with me, we can both live harmonious lives," said Wen Qinxi secretly crossing his fingers that he doesn''t get stabbed today.


    Qie Ranzhe lightly chuckled as the boys joined in on theughter. "You fuckin expect me to believe that bull shit? You must take me for a fool?" with thest sentence said in a condescending tone.


    "l am serious Qie Ranzhe, think about it. With my status l am more useful to you alive than dead. Haven''t l already proved myself? I didn''t say anything about what happened at the waterfall," said a desperate Wen Qinxi while the boys shook their heads in disagreement. If it was up to them Lin Jingxie would have been a stiff corpse by now.


    Qie Ranzhe seemed to be mauling over his suggestion when he was suddenly interrupted by Lin Mingxu punching his way through the crowd while yelling, "Get the fuck away from my brother!"


    "Fuck!" swore Wen Qinxi under his breathe as he watched Lin Mingxu throw a swing at Qie Ranzhe which he obviously missed as Qie Ranzhe dodged and kicked the boy onto the ground.


    With Lin Mingxu groaning in pain on the ground, the boys he had just punched got back at him, kicking him a couple of times before Wen Qinxi took action. He pushed the boys off and shielded Lin Mingxu from further beatings with his own body and so the algophobe couldn''t escape from this unscathed.


    The boys beat the hell out of Lin Jingxie venting their frustrations for past bullying and only stopped when Qie Ranzhe was satisfied. Wen Qinxi was clutching his abdomen in pain while wiping blood off his split lip.


    Lin Mingxu tried to shield his brother from an oning Qie Ranzhe but Wen Qinxi harshly scolded him yelling, "Stay the fuck out of this!" causing a discontented Lin Mingxu to cower behind him.


    Qie Ranzhe crouched down in front of the kneeling Wen Qinxi ring at him with a zed expression. " Young Master Lin has indeed made a wise choice not saying anything. However, you still have to prove that you are worth more alive than dead....Let''s start with something simple, that is if you are willing of course?" he said gripping hard on Wen Qinxi''s chin.


    ''Fuckin asshole!'' cursed Wen Qinxi in his head while nodding in agreement.


    "Okay then, from now on deliver food to my boys everyday but if you skimp out on them there will naturally be consequences," he said ncing over at Lin Mingxu hiding behind his brother, "okay?"


    "Sure," spoke Wen Qinxi through his teeth swallowing his anger.


    "Good boy," said Qie Ranzhe with an ominous grin while gently pping his cheek twice before taking his leave. His gang followed suit ring daggers at them that if looks could kill, they would be corpses by now.


    Lin Mingxu helped his brother up holding back tears. He wanted to be strong for Lin Jingxie while plotting vengeance in that immature brain of his as they hobbled home in silence.


    Though silent Wen Qinxi was already calcting the amount of reparations he was going to charge Qie Ranzhe when he wakes up. ''Trashy CEO, you are going to fuckingpensate me for this. Shit, l won''t settle for anything less that a billion,'' he mumbled in his brain now more determined than ever to survive through the end.


    Meanwhile in the game room, Xia Bai was mourning the loss of his money with Hei Bao throwing it in his face. But the most disappointed was Jolie, the system didn''t get the much anticipated blood and gore as advertised.


    If this was a horror movie, it would have demanded a full refund and pped them with a bad review. Everyone including Wen Qinxi had underestimated his abilities, surviving the longest in Qie Ranzhe''s game.

 Chapter 11: First World: Overqualified Lunch Lady

    Chapter 11: First World: Overqualified Lunch Lady


    After the whole debacle with Qie Ranzhe, the Lin boys had to jump over the fence at the back of mansion otherwise if Master Lin were to find out that they had been in a fight, there would a second round of beatings in one day.


    Since Lin Mingxu was taller than Lin Jingxie, he had to boost his older brother over the fence but because he underestimated his own strength, Wen Qinxi was hauled over the fencending face first onto the ground.


    "Dage!" loudly whispered a panicked Lin Mingxu jumping over the fence with ease only to find half of Lin Jingxie''s face smeared in mud. "Jin-ge, l am so sorry," he said trying to brush off the mud on his face.


    Wen Qinxi spit out some dirt that went in his mouth as he swore out loud, "Fuckkkkk!" which he soon regretted as it attracted Madam Lin''s attention. Lin Mingxu pulled Lin Jingxie into the bushes to hide from their mother who came out yelling looking for the culprit.


    "Who dares to use such vulgarnguage in my house?" she yelled holding a white slipper Lin Mingxu was all to familiar with. The boys patiently crouched down crossing their fingers that she would leave soon.


    Wen Qinxi couldn''t believe what a crappy day he had just had. All he could do was chant ''one billion yuan, one billion yuan'' under his breathe otherwise he would have thrown in the towel and smashed his head on the wall to get out of the game.


    The frustrated Madam Lin finally left giving the boys a chance to escape. They would have to make up an excuse for noting to dinner tonight otherwise Master Lin would most definitely punish them when he saw those bruises from the fight. Not only that but Wen Qinxi had a food run waiting for him tomorrow and had to feed eight plus boys.


    "Fuck!" he swore while lowering himself into a hot bath, his whole body hurt as though he had been hit by a steam train. ''Qie Ranzhe better be fucking worth it,'' he thought as the heat soothed his aching muscles.


    A concerned Lin Mingxu, who was currently washing the bloody evidence off their clothes, came in asking if he was okay.


    "Jin-ge he hurt you, we need to teach him a lesson. You don''t have to do what he says either," said Lin Mingxu sitting next to the bath with a wan appearance. It hurt watching his brother take hits for him and someone had to pay for this. If not Qie Ranzhe then someone as equally important.


    Knowing fairly well what Lin Mingxu was thinking, Wen Qinxi decided to nip this in the bud otherwise he would never seed and get the annoying CEO out of this ce. "Mingxu do you trust my judgment?"


    Of course, Lin Mingxu trusted himpletely even when he made the worst decisions that ultimately implicated the both of them. Lin Mingxu blindly followed his brother no matter what he did. The teenager nod his head to Wen Qinxi''s satisfaction.


    "Then from this day forth don''t ever mess with Qie Ranzhe or his boys ever again. If they start something with you, juste tell me about it but don''ty a hand on them. Did l make myself clear?" he asked in an authoritative tone expressing that there was absolutely no room for negotiation.


    Though unhappy about Lin Jingxie''s decision, he decided to ept it with a weary heart. As long as Qie Ranzhe doesn''t cross the line again, he was willing to listen to his brother.


    Early nightfall Wen Qinxi decided to go to bed using his near death experience as an excuse and that he needed Lin Mingxu to watch over him. Thus the two brother escaped Master Lin''s interrogation.


    Finally alone, it was about time for Wen Qinxi to have a little chat with the system and so he called for it. "Jolie would you like toe out now so we can have a little chat?" said Wen Qinxi in the most gentle tone as possible hoping this would motivate it to do better but the trashy system had an out of service tag flying in his face.


    ''You trashy system, l am going to have you demoted to a vacuum bot system!'' he screamed in his head before he fell asleep frustrated.


    The next day Wen Qinxi had Lin Mingxu distract Madam Lin by insisting they go out shopping while locking himself in the kitchen making fried rice for eight boys. He wasn''t the greatest chef out there but he knew the most basic recipes enough for him to survive as a bachelor and his cooking didn''t taste bad at all


    He felt horrible for stealing Madam Lin''s ingredients but he didn''t have a choice till he coulde up with a good excuse. The cook who had been kicked out was curious to know what the young master was doing but didn''t have the nerve to ask.


    Wen Qinxi packed everything up and snuck out of the mansion without anyone noticing. ''I fuckin feel like a criminal right now,'' he thought as he struggled to jump over the fence.


    ***


    Deep in the forest, Qie Ranzhe was practicing his skills with a wooden sword he had carved with his own hand. The teenager was hacking at a defenseless tree wondering if he had made the right decision letting Lin Jingxie live.


    When he left to go find him yesterday, he was resolute in his decision which was to make sure Lin Jingxie wouldn''t live to see another day. But yesterday as soon as heid eyes on him, Qie Ranzhe couldn''t do it as though choking under pressure.


    For his past crimes, Lin Jingxie deserved to die but when Qie Ranzhe gazed into those upturned bloodshot eyes, it weakened his defenses. He and Lin Jingxie had been in each other''s faces a couple of times before but he never felt this odd sense of familiarity before.


    Frustrated, he kept on shing at the tree in a sporadic immature way that would frighten any passer by. He didn''t even care if Lin Jingxie owned up to his word, he just didn''t want to see him again.


    "Ran-ge! Ran-ge!," called out Manchu running towards him. "Lin Jingxie just arrived and he brought food!"


    Though barely visible on his countenance, Qie Ranzhe was stunned speechless in disbelief. "He actually showed up?" asked Qie Ranzhe putting away his wooden sword his eyebrowced together.


    "Yep and everyone is waiting for your go ahead," said Machu as he led the way.


    ***


    Wen Qinxi who had for the first time arrived at the so-called camp site was stunned speechless by the makeshift tents these boys were living in. He couldn''t fathom how anyone could withstand the cold with a structure that could fall on you while you were sleeping. Though it was just a game, the experience was definitely real.


    The boys gazed at him with scornful


    eyes but none of them gave him trouble keeping their distance. It was only when Qie Ranzhe arrived that they seemed to rx as though their savior had finally arrived to sh down the horrible monster.


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t even acknowledge him with Machu asking him to start serving food. Wen Qinxi fake smiled at Qie Ranzhe thinking, ''How fucked up is this an expert programmer reduced to a lunchdy. Only Qie Ranzhe would fuckin do that.''


    That fake smile didn''t go unnoticed, Qie Ranzhe found it rather amusing and wanted tough but held back wearing a deadpan expression. Wen Qinxi served the fried rice on some wooden tes he had also snatched from the mansion.


    He dished out food but no one told him to hand the tes over and so he left them there. However, there was one person he wanted to personally deliver a te to hoping he would identally smash the te in his face. Wen Qinxi walked over to Qie Ranzhe who was sitting on a boulder watching his every move.


    With his n in motion looking ever so innocent Wen Qinxi tossed the te at Qie Ranzhe but instead ofnding on his face, the guy actually caught the bowl without spilling a single grain. "Fuck! Were you a cat in your previous life? You reflex is abnormal!" yelled a bbergasted Wen Qinxi not even realizing he had said it out loud.


    Everyone was just looking at him as though he had something on his face. Wen Qinxi sat on the rock across Qie Ranzhe scolding the on lookers, "What the fuck you all looking at!" before turning Qie Ranzhe while pointing at the bowl of food, e on hurry up l don''t have all day," but a stubborn Qie Ranzhe didn''t budge.


    He looked at the bowl then back at him two times in silence. "Oh fuck me, you actually think l poisoned it? Such a wuss," said Wen Qinxi taking the bowl away before stuffing his face like a squirrel making sure to eat more of the chicken too. He went as far as making taunting noises while at it, "Mmm so delicious. The chicken is so fuckin delicious mmm."


    Seeing him behave so childish, Qie Ranzhe could no longer deny it, something was different about Lin Jingxie but wasn''t sure if it was a good thing or bad thing. Qie Ranzhe gave the boys a go ahead and so like a pack of hungry wolves they dived in paying no mind to their eating habits.


    Wen Qinxi gave him back the bowl with half of the portion gone and didn''t even feel bad about it. With a fresh pair of chopsticks, Qie Ranzhe was about to eat when he suddenly paused to ask a question that had been nipping at him for a while. "Did you bang your head on rock when you fell off the waterfall because you are behaving so strange? Have you actually gone mad?"


    "Wow, so me being nice is equated to being crazy. You know what fuck you Qie Ranzhe. Keep those utensils for next time, l am not carrying utensils here ever again," he said picking up his things, "Fucking ungrateful brat," he mumbled walking away.


    He left behind a group of perplexed boys who couldn''t believe their eyes. One the food was actually not poisoned, two Lin Jingxie served them and three he swore at Qie Ranzhe with no consequences. Hell must have definitely frozen over for something this ridiculous to happen.

 Chapter 12: First World: Petty Theft

    Chapter 12: First World: Petty Theft


    Their petty theft didn''t even take long to be discovered with the two siblings sitting opposite their parents in front of a table full of rabbit food and no meat courtesy of Wen Qinxi who had robbed the kitchen blind.


    Madam Lin was not so upset about it but Master Lin was so angry he nearly flipped the table reprimanding his sons. "Do l look like freaking bunny to you? Answer me!" he said mming the table while Madam Lin tried to appease him.


    One might ask why not kill another chicken but by the time the cook realized all the roasted birds had somehow grown a pair of legs and disappeared, Master Lin had already arrived hangry ready to eat dinner.


    The two boys shuddered in fear at the loud bang made by Master Lin while throwing a fit. ''Dads are fuckin scary,'' thought Wen Qinxi suddenly grateful he didn''t have one.


    "You two were in cohorts with one suddenly wanting to go shopping which he absolutely hates and the other locking himself in kitchen doing god knows what. What happened to all my chickens?" said Master Lin boiling with rage.


    "Wuwuwuwu dad don''t be angry, l ate all of them l was so hungry," said Lin Mingxu with crocodile tears that would make anyone believe him. Hell, even Wen Qinxi was convinced, if he didn''t know the truth he would have believed him. ''Sick acting skills bro,'' he thought with obvious admiration in his eyes.


    "Do you think l was born yesterday? Stop crying otherwise l will make you go shopping with your mother for the rest of your life!" he yelled instantly putting Lin Mingxu in check but Madan Lin was seriously offended.


    "How is that a punishment, am l that horrible that you don''t want to go with me?" she asked with a pained look.


    "No!"


    "Yes!" answered both Master Lin and Lin Mingxu at the same time and of course the yes came from Lin Mingxu. Madam Lin was an undecisive penny pincher who would make you go around the entire market and circle back to the first vendor after she was sure it was the lowest price.


    With the Lin family fortune, she didn''t have to be a penny pincher this exined why they were less roasted chickens in the first ce.


    "Mingxu do you have to be so mean to your own mother wuwuwuwuwu!" she cried thus exining where Lin Mingxu''s acting skills came from.


    "Mingxu quickly apologise to your mother, you made her cry!" yelled Master Lin ring at Lin Mingxu.


    "But she''s faking it,"ined Lin Mingxu but his father wasn''t messing around, "fine, l will apologize. Sorry mum for making you cry."


    With the two reconciled, Master Lin''s attention went back to the case of the missing roasted poultry. During their squabbles, Wen Qinxi had contemted on slipping away but judging from Master Lin''s reputation, he gave up on the idea deciding to ride it out.


    "Jin-er, if you don''t confess now l will confine you to your quarters for an entire month. Go on, choose to lie to me and see if l won''t do it!" he said glowering at his son who was as quiet as a mouse but as guilty as sin.


    ''Crap! Why doesn''t he just work as a full time investigator. He would make a sessful detective,'' thought Wen Qinxi siding with the statement ''the truth shall set you free''.


    "Ahem.....l saw some boys hungry on the street and couldn''t bare seeing them go hungry when we have food. So l gave them the chickens," confessed Wen Qinxi looking so pitiful you would think he was being bullied.


    Master Lin wanted to yell but seeing his son helping others he didn''t have the heart too but the boy still had to be punished. "Okay, l see. Your heart is in the right ce but your method is wrong. You could have asked me first, l wouldn''t have refused your request," replied Master Lin with a meaningful expression.


    "How could we have asked when we both had split lips from fight-," stupidly confessed Lin Mingxu to an offense they had already gotten away with. Wen Qinxi elbowed him straight on to the bruise on his abdomen.


    He instinctively covered his mouth all wide-eyed but it was tote. The loud mouth had sold them out now they had to bare the consequences. "Is that why you have a bruised lip? Who did you fight with?" asked Master Lin bristled with anger.


    "Him," replied Wen Qinxi with a downcast expression pointing at Lin Mingxu and of course, Lin Mingxu wasn''t that dense nodding his head in agreement.


    "You are brothers but have the audacity toy hands on each other! No dinner for the both of you, go kneel and reflect on what you did wrong!" he yelled as he personally led the two young masters to different rooms before cing a long incense stick in front of a kneeling Wen Qinxi.


    "Kneel till that incense stick finishes! No one is allowed to leave till its all burnt out,"manded Master Lin.


    "But thats at least six hours?"ined a long faced Wen Qinxi pointing at the incense stick.


    Master Lin scowled but didn''t say anything as he led Lin Mingxu to the other room. Wen Qinxi didn''t move until he was certain Master Lin had left. Since no one was watch>ing him he decided to lie down thats when he heard someone speaking in the shadows.


    "Ahem young master Lin, you are supposed to be on your knees," said a creepy voice in the dark.


    Wen Qinxi was scared stiff yelling, "What the fuck!" while scanning around to see were the voice came from. ''Is it some type of ninja or something? Master Lin is bad shit crazy,'' he thought getting back on his knees. Master Lin knew his sons too well that he had guards watching them to keep them in line.


    A bored Wen Qinxi knelt down feeling so drowsy with his head drooping to the side while adding on to his expected reparations. ''I will fuckin charge a hundred thousand more for this,'' he thought with heavy eyes, struggling to keep them open.


    ''I think the CEO would give you five hundred thousand more just for this,'' spoke the M.I.A system that suddenly showed up out of the blue.


    Wen Qinxi was jolted awake hearing the rogue system finally making it''s appearance. ''Why the fuck are you here?'' asked Wen Qinxi recalling how the system had been ignoring him ever since he got a beating.


    ''I am here to make amends, we all truly underestimated you. So does it mean the rumours are true, you and Qie Ranzhe sitting in a tree K-I-S-''


    ''Fuck no! If you are here to nder me then you might as well go back where you came from!'' yelled Wen Qinxi flipping the table in anger.


    ''No judgement here, a man''s gotta do what a man''s gotta do to survive, right?'' said the system teasing Wen Qinxi who didn''t seem to be taking it well.


    ''Go fuck yourself Jolie!'' he yelled deciding to ignore the annoying system.


    ''Shesh, l was just teasing you besides if the CEO liked guys he wouldn''t pick you," replied the system taunting him but Wen Qinxi couldn''t refute that.


    ''I wouldn''t want him to pick me anyway. I want to find a goddess l can spend the rest of my life with. A kind hearted beautiful loli, you know what l mean?'' replied Wen Qinxi entranced with a gorgeous image of his ideal future wife.


    ''Haha yeah sure,'' said the system in a sarcastic tone, ''that type of goddess would only have eyes for Qie Ranzhe,'' observing the image Wen Qinxi conjured up in his head.


    ''Jolie just get the fuck out of here if you are here to dampen my mood,'' said Wen Qinxi hoping to be rid of the annoying system.


    ''No don''t chase me away, l brought you a series to keep you entertained. See l can be really considerate, ride out your punishment in style,'' said the system showing him all the options avable.


    ''Wow, how nice of you,'' he said picking one series to watch while apuding the system for finally doing something right but soon regretted it. Jolie only brought over gore filled horror series and once started, he couldn''t switch it off and had to watch it till the very end.


    ''AHAHAHAH! Jolie you are a fucking psycho,'' yelled Wen Qinxi ten minutes in the first episode while the system was having a goodugh.


    ***


    Qie Ranzhe currently lying on his mat suddenly lightly chuckled stunning Manchu who was lying on the other side of the room.


    "Ran-ge what is it?" curiously asked Machu as this was a rare urrence to see himugh.


    Qie Ranzhe was just thinking about how Lin Jingxie stuffed his face like a squirrel with both cheeks puffed up with food causing him to chuckle out loud.


    "Do you think Lin Jingxie is still the old Lin Jingxie?" asked Qie Ranzhe turning to his side to face Machu.


    "Dage to be honest, l would rather you keep your guard up. One near death experience can''t change a person this much, right?" said Machu mulling over Lin Jingxie''s behaviour today.


    He was so sure the food had been poisoned but it turned out that wasn''t the case. Maybe that was Lin Jingxie''s n, for them to let their guard down so he could poison all of them.


    Qie Ranzhe sighed heavily and turned to face the wall. "You are right, keep an eye on him," he said with a scowl on his visage vowing to never let his guard down no matter howfortable he felt around Lin Jingxie.

 Chapter 13: First World: Noodles loaded with vengeance

    Chapter 13: First World: Noodles loaded with vengeance


    While the rest of the world was going on with their lives changing the world, Wen Qinxi was stuck in a game delivering lunch for his ungrateful boss who apparently had been ignoring him for three days straight. All part of Qie Ranzhe''s n to remain vignt against Lin Jingxie with minimal contact so as to reduce the risk of attachment.


    The first day Wen Qinxi had just brushed it off as him being moody but on day two the guy literally passed him without a word, giving him an ice cold shoulder. Its only after the third day that Wen Qinxi decided to exert vengeance and so Wen Qinxi added something extra to Qie Ranzhe''s portion before disappearing with no trace.


    Machu received Qie Ranzhe''s food as per usual but that was only after Lin Jingxie ate some to test for poison. Yep, they were still making him taste the food he brought first before they dug in. Satisfied, Machu took the bowl of today''s special which was wonton noodles courtesy of chef Wen Qinxi and delivered it to Qie Ranzhe who waszily lying in the debilitated hut.


    He had been hiding in here so he didn''t have to suffer Lin Jingxie''s fierce gaze which was almost simr to how he used to look at him before the waterfall incident. Qie Ranzhe couldn''t help but wonder if the ckened Lin Jingxie was finally showing his true colors.


    "Did he taste it?" asked a cautious Qie Ranzhe stirring the noodles with a pair of chopsticks.


    "Yeah why? Do you think he did something to your food?" asked a panicked Machu gazing at the delicious food he wouldn''t mind eating again.


    Qie Ranzhe twirled the noodles on his chopsticks while saying, "His been giving me a suspicious look these past few days. Don''t know what his - AH fuck!" he swore loudly spiting out the noodles he had just ced in his mouth.


    "Ran-ge! Ran-ge!" yelled a concerned Manchu not sure exactly what do to. His best-friend had just been poisoned and he didn''t know how to react.


    "Its so fuckin spicy, give me water. That little shit added chilli!" yelled Qie Ranzhe while Machu handed over a cup of water but in reality it was actually making it worse, "Are you sure he tasted this?"


    "Yes he did and a whole mouthful of it," said Machu recalling the scene. He couldn''t help but wander if that was why Lin Jingxie was extra cheerful today?


    "I ignore him for three days and he pulls off this kind of stunt?" said Qie Ranzhe with plump bright red lips, "Fine, he wanted my attention? Now his got it!"


    ***


    An oblivious Wen Qinxi was swaggering along the path heading home while listening to some hit songs the system was ying in his head. "Achoo....who has the balls to gossip about me?" he said rubbing his itchy nose.


    ''Haha that should be Qie Ranzhe, he must have had a taste of your special noodles. That was fuckin epic hahaha!'' said the system apuding Wen Qinxi''s bad behavior.


    ''Of course, you would like it,'' replied Wen Qinxi in his mind while exiting the forest.


    ''Well l do but can''t help but worry about you. If Qie Ranzhe remembers all the crap you dished at him in the game aren''t you worried that you would lose your job?" asked Jolie imagining the scene when Wen Qinxi receives his retrenchment letter. The thought of him wailing on the ground made the system grin from ear to ear. Don''t me the system, it was just too bored.


    ''Haha l will be an unemployed billionaire!'' rejoiced Wen Qinxi when a familiar cute loli caught his attention. From the character files, Lin Jingxie was well acquainted with this little meimei. If the stupid cannon fodder hadn''t met his tragic fate, this would have been his future wife.


    ''Did this jerk of a characterck anything? Nice rich family, gorgeous future wife and potential to be a future schr working for the emperor but he just had to fuck with Qie Ranzhe. Tsk, tsk,'' he said to the system in his head.


    ''Aren''t you doing the same thing, you little cannon fodder?'' asked the system before disappearing.


    The loli came running towards him with such a beaming smile that he almost thought she was smiling at some else that wasn''t him. "Jin-ge l have missed you, l am d you are okay," she said in a timid serene voice that brought Wen Qinxi to his knees.


    ''Sigh.....if only she wasn''t an NPC,'' he thought smiling back at her. "Little meimei l am fine thank you for asking. What are you doing here?" asked Wen Qinxi as they walked side by side.


    Lee Jienji, the little meimei, shyly tucked her stray strands behind her ear and replied, "l heard you have been hanging out with Qie Ranzhe and l was just worried about you. I know how you two never got along," with genuine concern in her eyes.


    "We worked out our differences, no need to worry yourself," he replied ticking all the boxes for a perfect future wife. ''Pretty, caring and sweet. What more can a man want?'' he excitedly thought before the system interrupted him.


    ''Cool your jets yer, she''s just an NPC,'' said Jolie rolling its eyes if it had any.


    ''An NPC thats crazy about me,'' he replied in his mind while listening to Lee Jienjie.


    ''She''s most definitely more interested in Qie Ranzhe than you,'' replied the system with a sneer.


    ''Don''t you have somewhere else to be?'' he asked as they approached the boisterous town square that seemed more busy that usual with a noisy crowd gathered in one spot as though watching a performance.


    ''Fine but you might need to deal with that,'' said the system referring to the unruly crowd. Wen Qinxi took the hint and decided to take a look.


    "Lee Jienjie wait for me here l will be right back," he said before pushing through the crowd only to find the boy Lin Jingxie had bullied at the waterfall, the one Qie Ranzhe saved. A bruised Xie Ruen was cowering at the centre while being tormented by a group of rich young masters that used to run the same circles as Lin Jingxie.


    "I told you to stay away from her and clearly warned you that the next time l catch you, it would be the day you die!" yelled the beefcake Sun Huxian of the Sun family. The reason why he was harassing Xie Ruen was because his little sister hung around him all the time.


    Poor Xie Ruen had tried to distance himself from the little miss but no matter how hard he tried, she would always find him thus the predicament he was currently in.


    Wen Qinxi scanned around but Qie Ranzhe wasn''t anywhere in sight, he had to do something otherwise this innocent boy would beaten till he was wheelchair bound.


    Wen Qinxi grabbed Xie Ruen''s arm dragging him behind while saying, "Dage, why not pick on someone your own size?"


    The hostile beefcake suddenly grinned saying, "Lin Jingxie the famous young master who cheated death. How is this any of your business? Hand him over and go home, this has nothing to do with you," lunging forward to grab Xie Ruen who was contemting on whether to run as he was more terrified of Lin Jingxie than Sun Huxian.


    Wen Qinxi ced his hand on Sun Huxian''s chest pushing him back. "Don''t try me Huxian otherwise l won''t hold back!" said Wen Qinxi while silently pleading within, ''Please don''t try me l am just a fuckin nerd and the only person l ever fought was my little brother, a fight l lost miserably.''


    "Aiyo....so its true! Young Master Lin came back from the dead and teamed up with the ruffians! l never thought l did see that day," bellowed Sun Huxian before grabbing hold of his cor with dark eyes, "you fucking disgust me!"


    Sun Huxian didn''t waste anytime throwing a punch at Wen Qinxi''s face while our inexperience nerd shut his eyes tightly, weing pain in advance but pain never made its debut. Qie Ranzhe had shown up seizing Sun Huxian''s arm just in the nick of time.

 Chapter 14: First World: NPC Baby Mama

    Chapter 14: First World: NPC Baby Mama


    Therees a time in every nerd''s life that they have to stand up for what they believe in and today was the day for this xueba to stand his ground but as expected he was all bark no bite with a punch heading his way.


    Though pain was guaranteed, if you ask this algophobe if he regretted saving Xie Ruen, he would say no. The little kid was just too small to fight back against those big boys and didn''t deserve such harsh treatment even for an NPC.


    Thankfully for Wen Qinxi someone had already went to look for Qie Ranzhe otherwise it would have ended badly for him. The nerd had never been this excited to see that gorgeous stern face of his. Qie Ranzhe twisted Sun Huxian''s arm ruthlessly dislocating his shoulder before kicking him onto the ground.


    The young master wore an ugly expression grimacing in pain while his aplices helped him up. "Yeah, thats what you fucking get if you mess with any of my boys again!" yelled an enthusiastic Wen Qinxi in the heat of the moment before he realised he had spoken out of turn.


    "Haha, l meant your boys not mine, " he said nervouslyughing while walking backwards away from a scowling Qie Ranzhe.


    ''See that Jolie, l heroically saved the poor boy now watch as Lee Jienjie falls into my arms in admiration,'' he said to an absent system that didn''t want any part of this.


    ''More like watch it blow up in your face,'' said the system before fleeing from such an embarrassing situation.


    ''Someone''s jealous,'' he thought taking a few steps in Lee Jienji''s direction. She was smiling, eagerly waiting for his return when someone suddenly pulled him by the back of his cor dragging him into the deserted alley.


    Qie Ranzhe let go of him only after trapping him in a corner peering at him as though searching for something. "Don''t tell me you actually did all this just for a girl to notice you." he said inching a little too close to Wen Qinxi''s face making him so ufortable.


    "N-no, noe on why would you think that? l just couldn''t watch him beat up Xie Ruen," answered a nervous Wen Qinxi wandering how saving a kid had turned into an interrogation.


    "Why the sudden change? Clearly you are the one who bullied him the most. His fuckin terrified of you!" he said even more closer that rm bells in Wen Qinxi''s mind suddenly went off at the same time.


    ''Too close bro,'' he thought gently pushing him back as he didn''t want to further aggravate the protagonist. "I have already told you, l turned over a new leaf. l just couldn''t stand by and do nothing," he said noticing how red Qie Ranzhe''s full lips were.


    With a quizzical expression, Wen Qinxi observed those cherry lips that looked like he was wearing lipgloss. The kind of lipgloss that would make one wander if his lips would taste fruity.


    Wen Qinxi would haveughed out loud taunting him but those lips were so enchanting he almost lost himself for a second. Qie Ranzhe noticed his strange gawk aimed at his lips and so covered his mouth creating distance between them. "Pump your breaks there Lin Jingxie, you and l are not in that kind of rtionship so don''t you fuckin dare."


    Wen Qinxi snapped out of it stunned speechless at his remark. "Seriously Qie Ranzhe! Why the fuck would l be interested in you when there is a cute meimei waiting for me? You must be shitting me," straight talked a wronged Wen Qinxi pointing towards Lee Jie. "Oh, by the way is that from the chilli?" he said now pointing at Qie Ranzhe''s covered mouth.


    "Yeah, why" replied a vignt Qie Ranzhe with his eyebrowsced together.


    "So you finished the entire portion despite them being hot?" asked Wen Qinxi with a smirk imagining how funny the scene must have been. Seeing how Lin Jingxie seemed pleased with himself, he couldn''t hold back and pushed him against the wall with a darkly expression but before he could issue out a warning, he was rudely interrupted.


    A sweet serene voice spoke in such a gentle tone, "Jin-ge, are you almost done? Your mother invited me for dinner we can''t keep her waiting."


    Both of them turned to look at her with one beaming with joy while the other stern and annoyed. "Go back first, we are not done here," said Qie Ranzhe without even waiting for Lin Jingxie to answer for himself.


    Wen Qinxi removed Qie Ranzhe''s hand from his chest with a radiant smile which had himplying. "l won''t put chilli in your food ever again though it does make your lips more appealing that the girls would love it. Now be a good boy and let gege go with this little meimei, okay?" he said in a patronizing tone while patting his head twice.


    "Come on Jienjie let''s go," said an excited Wen Qinxi. Just like that he was gone leaving behind a confused Qie Ranzhe asking himself what just happened?


    "Ran-ge, did he just pat your head? Are you angry?" asked Machu who appeared from nowhere whispering questions at Qie Ranzhe. He saw part of what happened but couldn''t read Qie Ranzhe''s expression.


    Qie Ranzhe suddenly turned to look at him asking, "Do you know the saying bros before hoes?"


    "Yes but Lee Jienjie isn''t a hoe so the saying doesn''t apply," replied Machu pondering on why they were even having this discussions in the first ce.


    "Lack of a better rhyming word, the principle applies to all girls. Lin Jingxie just left with a girl when l wasn''t done talking to him. Thats why l am angry, he can''t just do that," replied Qie Ranzhe barely making any sense.


    "Wait! Do you consider him a brother? Is he one of us now?" replied a bbergasted Machu.


    "Its the best way to keep an eye on him. How''s Xie Ruen? Did you send him back to camp?" asked Qie Ranzhe effectively ending the conversation.


    ***


    A few streets away Wen Qinxi who wasn''t aware that he had been awarded title of ''honorary brother'' was dealing with two attention seeking brats fighting over him. These two were none other than Lin Mingxu and Lee Jienjie with him stuck in the middle.


    "Aiyo....my beautiful Jienjie is here," said Madam Lin affectionately embracing Lee Jienjie, "Come sit, l am d you could join us for dinner. Today''s special was made by our dear Jin over here."


    An excited Madam Lin ignored her sons leading Lee Jienjie to the table. Wen Qinxi shook his head in disbelief, he had never seen a mother pimp out her son this much. He moved to sit furthest from the excited mother otherwise she might tie Lee Jienjie to him and demand for a grandchild this instant. ''Don''t want a fucking NPC baby when am still a baby myself,'' he thought covering his face in embarrassment.


    Lee Jienjie managed to convince Madam Lin to let her sit next to Lin Jingxie but before her butt touched down, she was suddenly shoved by Lin Mingxu ultimately losing her seat. "Sister Jienjie it''s not appropriate for you to sit here lest people talk," said Lin Mingxu with a smirk on his face celebrating a momentus victory.


    "Mingxu did you have to shove her like that? That''s not how a man should behave!" yelled Master Lin who had been watching this embarrassing scene for far too long. His wife was just to excitable.


    "His my dage so whats wrong with me protecting his reputation?" he said ring at Lee Jienjie who was equally glowering at him.


    "For now," she mumbled just as the dishes were served.


    A wide-eyed Lin Mingxu nudged his brother saying, "Do you hear that ge, she''s plotting against you? You better lock your bedroom door tonight. Who knows what she might do."


    "The person l need to lock the door for is you and stop asking for a sleep over every time," replied Wen Qinxi rubbing his forehead in frustration. Lin Mingxu had another bad habit of knocking on his door just before bedtime asking for a sleepover.


    It would be cute if they were kids but two teenage boys crowded on one bed was just too suffocating. This NPC really had abandonment issues.


    "Mingxu give your brother some space. What are you going to do when he gets married? You going to knock at their bridal chamber for sleepover?" said Madam Lin scolding her youngest son but her words caused the three men of the Lin family to choke on their dinner.


    ''Fuck no! I am not getting married in a game just to save that ungrateful dumbfuck!'' screamed Wen Qinxi in his head while Master Lin coughed violently thinking how can his wife be so thick-skinned.


    Lee Jienjie was blushing like they had just announced their engagement. "Ahem.....Jin-er, from tomorrow you won''t have to cook for the boys. l made arrangements with the town council, they will cook and serve the boys. You just need to focus on your studies for the imperial exam," said Master Lin trying to hint at his wife not to fill this boy with ridiculous ideas.


    "Yes Jin-ge, focus on studying. You can''t get married now," said Lin Mingxu snorting at Lee Jienjie.


    "But thats ages away, you mean to say l won''t get a grandchild before then, wuwuwuwu...Jin-er why break your mother''s heart like that," wailed a disgruntled Madam Lin with crocodile tears streaming down her face.


    Wen Qinxi was not down for all this emotional ckmail and so stood up and hugged Master Lin saying," Thank you father, l will definitely focus on my studies," before running out in excitement.


    Don''t misunderstand Wen Qinxi he wasn''t excited for the imperial exam but that he didn''t have to ve for Qie Ranzhe anymore. ''Fuckin independence day bitch!'' he thought as he scampered to his room.


    Before following behind his brother, Lin Mingxu didn''t forget to take a dump at Lee Jienjie saying, "Abandon hope that ship is never going to sail," winking at her. If he only knew that she wasn''t the person he should have been more cautious about.

 Chapter 15: First World: Weasel slipped in through the window

    Chapter 15: First World: Weasel slipped in through the window


    As the sun set in the game horizon with NPCs doing as they should, Wen Qinxi was busy celebrating as he no longer had to ve everyday cooking for Qie Ranzhe and his gang. He might have been okay in the kitchen but that didn''t mean he liked it. Like anyzy bachelor he was fed up, tired of dealing with smoky charcoal fires everyday.


    Five days ago, he had introduced the group of boys to the kind-hearted cooks who would be bringing them food each and every day. To top it all off, they would receive pre-packed breakfast for the next day so they didn''t have to rely on one meal a day. He had to give it to Master Lin, the man was efficient in everything he did.


    Because of the new arrangement, he hadn''t seen Qie Ranzhe for five days straight which he was perfectly fine with. The agreement was to provide his boys with food not the method of delivery. All he knew was that he was on the right track, a fed Qie Ranzhe would cken less than a starved one, right?


    What he didn''t know was that in those five days someone else was discontented with the new arrangement not for others but for himself. The food just didn''t taste the same as though something was missing but Machu couldn''t understand what Qie Ranzhe meant.


    "Ran-ge the food is great and we even get breakfast now, l don''t understand why you seem dissatisfied. I say, it even tastes better than what Lin Jingxie made, the chef is definitely an upgrade bu-," said Machu before he was suddenly interrupted.


    "Did hee today?" he asked leisurely fiddling with his food with no appetite whatsoever.


    Machu creased his brows wondering why Qie Ranzhe even cared whether Lin Jingxie came or not. He had to admit, the scumbag hade through instantly improving their quality of life. They now had one less thing to worry about.


    Lin Jingxie had gone as far as passing over medicine for Xie Ruen which was something he only thought would ever happen when pigs fly but there were no piggies in the sky.


    "No he didn''te," replied Machu still mauling over it.


    "Have you seen himtely?" he asked again with his head down still messing around with his food.


    The second question was like a moment of epiphany for Machu, he now understood why Qie Ranzhe was asking all these questions. "Oh now l see, you are worried Lin Jingxie is upto no good." lt finally made a whole lot of sense now.


    Qie Ranzhe finally raised his head pursing his lips before saying, "Yes, l am worried about that," but he himself wasn''t even sure of the reason why and didn''t want to continue mauling over it.


    "Send someone to watch him and report back to me every single day," he said tossing the bowl aside before lying down on his mat with a brooding countenance.


    ***


    Wen Qinxi had enjoyed a ten day vacation, free of the overbearing boss. In those ten days he had a lot of fun, if he wasn''t messing around with Lin Mingxu doing weird shit, he would be hanging out with Jolie, Xia Bai and Hei Bao.


    Time really moved fast in the game though he had only gone through two days in the real world. Tonight they were ying online mahjong with the three of them losing money to Jolie who didn''t even have use for money.


    ''Fuck! Jolie you don''t even need the money. Damnit, you cleaned out my lunch money for the entire month,''ined a broke Hei Bao.


    ''Whats your problem l need the money,'' said Jolie looking to start a new round.


    ''What the fuck for? I don''t want to y anymore,'' said Xia Bai throwing the towel. He even suspected the cunning system for cheating.


    ''I have transferred it all to boss Wen,'' said an all excited system. As though the money transfer wasn''t shocking enough, the form of address made Wen Qinxi''s skin crawl with goosebumps forming all over.


    ''Boss Wen? What the fuck? Jolie l don''t want your money you probably want to ask for some weird shit,''ined Wen Qinxi getting ready to sign out.


    ''Hear me out boss. When you are done with the game l need you to make apanion system for me to hang out with. Its so fuckin boring looking at NPCs all day,'' said the system in a serious tone.


    The three men burst outughing but Jolie wasn''t deterred as it kept on trying to convince Wen Qinxi.


    A loud bang suddenly had Wen Qinxi open his eyes ending that abruptughter. "Sorry guys l think l have sly weasel trying to sneak in. Signing off,'' he said thinking it was Lin Mingxu.


    He had carefully bolted the door otherwise Lin Mingxu would interrupt him but he didn''t think the brat would use the window. "Mingxu what the fuck you doing!" he yelled squinting his eyes unable to make out the figure in the shadows.


    "Shh it''s me," said a low maic voice he was ever so familiar with.


    Wen Qinxi slightly shivered in shook but quickly recovered before yelling at him. "Fuck! Qie Ranzhe what do you think you are doing?" he said in a loud whisper that attracted a certain over-protective brother''s attention. In no time Lin Mingxu was softly knocking at his brother''s door.


    "Ge, is everything okay?" said Lin Min6g in a loud voice that could wake up even the dead.


    Wen Qinxi gestured for Qie Ranzhe to be quiet otherwise Lin Mingxu would throw a fit attracting Master Lin''s attention which he absolutely didn''t want to happen. He went to the door and quickly slid out before closing it behind him, giving the little weasel no chance to slip in.


    "l am fine just had a nightmare. Go back to sleep, l am fine," said Wen Qinxi trying to get rid of him as soon as possible but Lin Mingxu was curiously trying to peek into his room.


    "l heard you yell Qie Ranzhe''s name, was he in your nightmare?"


    "Y-yes, haha terrible nightmare. His ugly ass face just showed up right in front of me giving me a fright," he said fully aware that Qie Ranzhe could hear him.


    "Oh...do you want me to stay? We can have a midnight snack, it will help you get over your nightmare," genuinely suggested Lin Mingxu but Wen Qinxi refused. He only managed to get rid of him by suggesting they have a midnight snack tomorrow.


    Wen Qinxi walked back in the room only to find Qie Ranzhe standing with his arms folded across his chest all nonchnt. "Ugly ass face? Seriously?" he said pointing at his perfectly sculptured face.


    "Say whatever you came here to say and get the hell out. I want to sleep," he said lying back in bed trying to figure what possessed this guy to pull of such a stunt. He hadn''t seen Qie Ranzhe in a while and couldn''t help but wonder what demands he had now.


    Qie Ranzhe followed Lin Jingxie''s figure with his eyes doubting if he made the right decisioning here. He had manage to hold off for ten days relying on daily updates but soon that wasn''t enough, he wanted to see him in person.


    Why did Qie Ranzhe feel the need to see him? Even he couldn''t answer that, all he knew is that he felt an inexplicable itch within which worsened each day but suddenly felt relief as soon as heid eyes on him.


    He suddenly lunged onto the bed right next to him but his move wasn''t weed with Lin Jingxie lifting his foot to kick him off. Qie Ranzhe''s reflexes were exceptionally good as he caught Lin Jingxie''s foot escting this to a yful tussle.


    "Qie Ranzhe you dumbfuck!" yelled Wen Qinxi trying to push him off but suddenly lost all strength when the bastard decided to y dirty. Qie Ranzhe had identally found his tickle spot on either side of Wen Qinxi''s abdomen tickling him till the guy was in tearsughing.


    Qie Ranzhe couldn''t even understand what he was doing ying with Lin Jingxie when they obviously had a dark history but in this moment it felt good and so he continued. Satified he pinned down Lin Jingxie firmly holding down both his wrists.


    Wen Qinxi''sughter gradually died down looking up at a stern Qie Ranzhe. "Fuck off!" he said trying to free his wrist.


    "Why did you stop bringing me food?" he asked a question he obviously knew the answer too.


    "Is that why you fuckin broke into my room? Qie Ranzhe what more to do want? Haven''t l done plenty?" said Wen Qinxi firing a bunch of questions one after the other.


    "I want you to bring me food every day," said a thick-skinned Qie Ranzhe still pinning him down.


    Now looking down on Lin Jingxie, he could clearly see his handsome features that he had never noticed before. The more he looked the more bewitched he was by his looks only snapping out of it when Lin Jingxie struggled a bit more.


    "I won''t let go till you say yes," he said nervously smiling hoping Lin Jingxie would fall for his bluff.


    "Fuck no!" replied Wen Qinxi as he stopped struggling vowing to go to the gym as soon as he was done with this nonsense.


    "Fine, then we can be like this all night. I bet your little brother would faint walking in on such a scene," said Qie Ranzhe with an ominous grin.


    ''Are you shitting me, Qie Ranzhe is fuckin crazy! No wonder he got dumped,'' he thought ring at him. "Fine l will bring you food every day now get the fuck off me!"


    A delighted Qie Ranzhe let him go lying down right next to him with their heads close together while chuckling for some reason.


    ''If you weren''t my boss l would have had youmitted in a mental institution,'' thought Wen Qinxi sitting up straight.


    "You can show yourself out through the same way you came in," said Wen Qinxi in a domineering tone that was unfortunately ineffective on Qie Ranzhe.


    Qie Ranzhe gazed at him saying, "Your bed is sofortable," before getting even more cosy covering himself with the quilt.


    "Qie Ranzhe, l am not messing around. Get out," he said as he got off the bed and tried to drag him off pulling his leg but the guy wouldn''t budge. It was pointless trying like lifting dead weight.


    "Fuck!" said an exhausted Wen Qinxi with beads of sweat forming on his forehead.


    "Let me stay for one night, l have never slept on afortable bed before," pled Qie Ranzhe with his eyes shut looking as pitiful as ever.


    Faced with those words, Wen Qinxi wasn''t heartless enough to kick him out. After contemting for a while, he removed the guy''s brocade boots before sleeping on the other side. Thus the two boys shared a bed for the entire night, a first of many sleepover.

 Chapter 16: First World: Deflowered Maiden

    Chapter 16: First World: Deflowered Maiden


    As the sun rose above the horizon, Wen Qinxi was still snoozing like a pro especially after yesterday''s events that tired him out. Who knew tussling among boys after rounds of mahjong would actually tire him out.


    If it were upto him, he would have slept till noon but unfortunately the world''s loudest rm wouldn''t let that happen.


    "Ge!" yelled a horrified Lin Mingxu while peeking through the window. At first, he knocked at the door but his brother didn''t respond so he resorted to peeking through the window only to get the shock of his life. Lin Jingxie was sound asleep with his leg hooked around Qie Ranzhe''s waist.


    His brother were basically huddling the ruffian as though cuddling a teddy bear. Wen Qinxi was jolted awake with dishellevelled hair looking like a hot mess. "Mingxu why are you yelling? Ah fuck! Can''t l sleep some more," he whined with his eyes half closed as hey back down.


    Mingxu wasn''t having it using the same method Qie Ranzhe used to get in. He grabbed Lin Jingxie dragging him out of bed as though shielding him from the vile beast lying in the bed. All this excitement woke Qie Ranzhe up. He sat up straight with sluggish eyes and a smirk on his face.


    "W-what is he doing here?" he said looked at both of them back and forth waiting for an answer but none of them had the energy to reply. "Did he hurt you?" asked Lin Mingxu panickingly checking up on his brother.


    "Mingxu l am fine. Stop making a big deal out of this," replied Wen Qinxi wishing he could p him till he calmed down. ''Why is he acting as though l am girl caught with her boyfriend in bed,'' thought Wen Qinxi putting on his slippers.


    "Yes, little children should not interfere in grown people''s business. What we did or didn''t dost night is none of your business, " replied Qie Ranzhe putting on his brocade boots while tauting Lin Mingxu which he found out was surprisingly satisfying.


    "You!" said a pissed off Lin Mingxu with a dark expression on his face. If it weren''t for Lin Jingxie, he would have thrown a punch by now.


    "Don''t forget our deal," said Qie Ranzhe patting Wen Qinxi''s shoulder twice before making his exit. The matter didn''t stop there as the childish Lin Mingxu kept on ring at Wen Qinxi for the rest of the morning.


    Wen Qinxi had his own troubles, pissed off at the fact that Qie Ranzhe had basically manhandled food out of him. He had no time to deal with Lin Mingxu who asionally passed the kitchen door ring daggers at him.


    Seeing that Lin Jingxie wasn''t paying him any mind, he finally gave in and decided to break the ice. "Jin-ge why do you have to do this again? Dad has already made arrangements, you don''t have to deal with all this smoke each and everyday," said Lin Mingxu sympathising with his brother.


    ''Thats right Mingxu, l don''t have to do all this shit but l like money more so if cooking everyday gets that jerk out of this game, so be it,'' he thought while tossing some diced onions into the wok. "Remember when l told you to trust me? Then trust your big brother because l know what l am doing."


    "Fine but does he have to sleep in your bed, dage that''s a bit much!" said Lin Mingxu getting all emotional unable to control his volume.


    Wen Qinxi quickly closed Ling Mingxu''s mouth shut while looking around to see if anyone had heard. "Shh you little brat. Why are behaving like l am a girl who just got deflowered. What the fuck?" said a whispering Wen Qinxi with his hand still blocking Lin Mingxu''s mouth. "Now are you going to be a good boy and quiet down otherwise will all get a beating?"


    Lin Mingxu nod his head but barely kept his promise asking the most ridiculous question. "Ahhhh! Dage did you and him.....," he said thinking back to how his brother wasfortably cuddling Qie Ranzhe in his sleep.


    "You shut your mouth! Where did you get such a fucked up idea? If you are not going to help then get out," said Wen Qinxi in a threatening manner while angrily stirring the half cooked onions.


    Satisfied with Lin Jingxie''s reaction Lin Mingxu calmed down a little and moved in closer to give his brother a hand. "l will help but you have to take me with you," he said fiddling with a carrot he had no idea how to chop.


    "Fine you cane too but don''t start shit with him otherwise," replied Wen Qinxi while tossing in some minced pork.


    The two brothers packed up everything including a portion for Lee Jienjie that Madam Lin insisted on when she caught them in the kitchen. Now they had to go feed both Qie Ran and Lee Jienjie before going back home.


    Wen Qinxi was actually okay with it but Lin Mingxu, not so much. He kept his distance while pacing nervously with his eyes fixed on Qie Ranzhe as soon as they arrived. "Here, you need me to taste it first before l go?" asked Wen Qinxi handing the bowl to Qie Ranzhe.


    Qie Ranzhe gazed at Lin Jingxie without saying a word clearly expressing his expectations. He might look cold and distant from outside but within he was a little happy to see Lin Jingxie. ''This is how it should be. From now on l can keep a close eye on you,'' thought Qie Ranzhe just as Lin Jingxie tasted the food.


    "Mmm see, l am not that heartless to kill you with poison. Poison is a woman''s game, l would go for an assassin," he joked around handing him back the bowl.


    Qie Ranzhe stared at him for a minute before looking back at the bowl. "Oh shoot! I am sorry l didn''t bring another pair of chopsticks with me. Let me wash them for you," said Wen Qinxi trying to take the chopsticks away from him. It might have been a game but they still needed to be civil. Before he could grab them Qie Ranzhe started eating, just like that.


    "It''s fine," he said as he carried on eating but Wen Qinxi''s expression didn''t look right freaking out of his mind.


    ''Ahahahah Qie Ranzhe thats so fuckin disgusting!'' he yelled in his mind unepting of what just happened. Qie Ranzhe was famous for being a germaphobe in high school. If you touch his things he would freak out, even worse if you touched his water bottle and here he was using a utensil Wen Qinxi had just used.


    "Qie Ranzhe, thats fucking disturbing, don''t ever do that again," he reprimanded him while Machu nearby was having a major freak out. His three world views had been toppled over by this incident. It was as if Qie Ranzhe was possessed by something to even do such a thing.


    "Does he have to be here?" he asked pointing at Lin Mingxu who was still ring at him fiercely.


    "Mm, you aggravated him this morning. All thanks to you, now he won''t let me go anywhere by myself," he said in a sarcastic tone while standing up to leave.


    Qie Ranzhe finally mentioned the extra packed lunch in Lin Jingxie''s hand and so he asked, "Wait l thought you were eating with me. Whose that for?"


    That statement had Wen Qinxi bursting out inughter while saying, "Seriously Qie Ranzhe, you had me bring you food and you expect me to eat with you as well? Aish....so high maintenance. This is for Lee Jienjie, we are going over to her house to drop this off," as he turned to leave.


    Qie Ranzhe suddenly stood up, "You said you will only make for me why you making it for her as well?" he asked barely making any sense.


    ''What the fuck is wrong with him? So l can only make food for him? What am l, his personal chef? So unreasonable,'' he thought with a frown on his face not bothering to indulge such a big baby.


    "Okay l get that was silly for me to say. How about this, l escort you there," he said in a stern tone standing next to him, "just in case you meet Sun Huxian again? Its all my fault that you got into a fight with him in the first ce. l wasn''t there in time to protect Xie Ruen."


    Wen Qinxi was weirded out by his offer and there was no way in hell he was going to have Qie Ranzhe following him around. He already had Lin Mingxu to worry about. "No thanks, l think the two of us will be just fine. See you tomorrow," he said in a dismissive tone before leaving with his brother.


    "Ran-ge what happened? You seem unwell?" asked Manchu as soon as Lin Jingxie left. Even he had to admit Qie Ranzhe was behaving strangetely and it wasn''t getting any better.


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t respond, he sat back down with an ominous grin on his face as he finished off his delicious food.

 Chapter 17: First World: Qie Ran in danger

    Chapter 17: First World: Qie Ran in danger


    In a highly ssified game room at GameX, two nerds were monitoring project gship''s performance when an intruding system suddenly spoke in a creepy voice that had the two flinching in fright.


    Jolie had found another way to make more money for Wen Qinxi so it could convince him to make itspanion. That is after witnessing certain improbable events that no one would ever believe.


    That night they yed mahjong, instead of leaving when Wen Qinxi signed off, it stayed unfortunately staining it''s pure eyes on some unexpected dog food. With that information in hand it decided to make money out of the naive geeks and hopefully get a step closer to attaining it''s idealpanion system.


    "I have something pretty juicy that you all would love to hear," said Jolie startling the two nerds.


    Hei Bao was extremely terrified, suddenly hearing a weird voice out of thin air, "Jolie you fuckin scared me. Wear a bell or something,"


    But Xia Bai was more interested in what it had to say. This juicy secret had to be about Wen Qinxi. "What is it? Does Wen Qinxi have like a weird fetish we don''t know about?" asked an enthusiastic Xia Bai dying to know his secret, the guy was so closed off it made everyone itch to know more.


    Seeing them willingly take the bait, Jolie detailed the events of that night and the nights after while holding off some key information. Their reactions were exactly as it expected slowly reeling them in like a fish that was about to end up on a grill.


    "Thats not hot gossip! Seriously Jolie, do you even know the meaning of that word?"ined Xia Bai suddenly feeling like he had wasted his time.


    "Yea, thats normal tussling among guys and if l am also staying in a broken down house l wouldn''t hesitate sleeping over at a friend''s house. The only interesting thing is that the stiff Qie Ranzhe actually tussled. Meh, not interesting," analysed the smart graduate Hei Bao.


    "So you don''t think Qie Ranzhe might actually fall for Wen Qinxi?" said the system luring them into the honeytrap.


    "Pei pei pei.....No, l refuse Qie Ranzhe is as straight as a pole. The boss had a gorgeous girlfriend for years. That is bullshit talk right there," said Xia Bai wishing he could give the system a thrashing for thinking such nonsense.


    "Hahaha thats so fuckin stupid. If anyone would fall for the other it would be Wen Qinxi. Faced with such a handome face for that long, he would definitely be bent for sure," said Hei Bao as they burst out in roaringughter wondering if the system had a virus eating away at its intelligence.


    Deliberately leaving out some details that might have convinced them, it struck while the iron was still hot. "Okay, if you are that confident then put your money were your mouth is," said the system showing a number on the screen.


    "Holy shit! Jolie thats a shit load of money!" yelled a dumbstruck Hei Bao while the other was stunned speechless.


    "Count me in,"


    "Me too," they replied one after the otherpletely unaware that they had been yed.


    "Okay deal, got to go. I suddenly remembered that l had something to do," said the system before disappearing.


    Thirty minutester. " I say, do you think Jolie knows something we don''t? It seemed pretty confident," asked Hei Bao with a pensive look spinning on his swivel office chair.


    Xia Bai turned to look in his direction while reassuring him. "Trust me, Qie Ranzhe is fucking straight. The system doesn''t even know how to read human emotion. Never going to happen."


    Little did they know that the cunning system was already tilting the scale in its favour.


    ***


    The Lin family were seated around the table having Sunday breakfast courtesy of Madam Lin. She had the sudden inspiration to catch up with her family and find out what everyone had been upto. It was sheer coincidence that Lee Jienjie wasn''t able toe over for breakfast, making all the men in the Lin family simultaneously heave a sigh of relief.


    They were all eating quietly which was an extremely rare urrence but it made it easy to spot subtle motions. For instance Lin Mingxu was scratching the back of his neck a lot, reason being he had dived into a bush of potanin''scquer tree while tailing Lin Jingxie who had strictly forbade him from following. Fearing he would get spotted he blindly jumped into the bushies developing a rash all over.


    On the other hand, Wen Qinxi was massaging his sore muscles looking a bit sluggish. For the entire week, he managed to have the bed to himself for only two nights.


    A certain someone decided to make a habit of sleeping over disying a pitiful face each time he tried to kick him out. ''So fucking annoying,'' he thought trying toe up with a n to keep Qie Ranzhe from sneaking into his bed.


    Sharing a bed with a guy wasn''t odd to him as he grew up sharing with his brother but Qie Ranzhe was so big taking up more than half of the bed and Wen Qinxi was finally fed up.


    "Didn''t sleep well?" asked Master Lin out of concern for his oldest son. He could see the subtle changes and couldn''t help but worry.


    "Yeah but l will be fine. That reminds me, father winter ising and l really feel sorry for those poor boys going through winter in makeshift tents. I was thinking maybe building a shelter that can take in abandoned children, will you help me?" he asked crossing his fingers under the table. If his n seeded he wouldn''t have to worry about sharing with Qie Ranzhe.


    Everyone paused their actions gazing at him, each with their own kind of expression. The first to talk was Lin Mingxu pledging full support for his brother. "That''s an awesome idea, big brother is right," said an excited Lin Mingxu. That annoying guy would finally stop sneaking in. Yes, he knew what Qie Ranzhe had been upto the entire week and was inches close to stabbing him. Thus incrrdibly happy when his brother made that suggestion.


    Master Lin gazed at him for a while with conflicting emotions both proud and concerned. Concerned because he worried that his son might have been forced into helping, proud if he was genuinely concerned for others.


    "I hear you, l will have the n drafted and get the total cost. Once l have the total cost, you have to raise at least a third of it and show me you are serious," said Master Lin testing his resilience. This would be an opportunity to educate his son about perseverance.


    "Okay, thank you father. I am just going to sleep some more hopefully l can feel a bit better," he said standing up to leave. Wen Qinxi was genuinely exhausted, he hadn''t shared a bed with anyone for ages, a double bed to make matters worse.


    As soon as he entered his room he was suddenly interrupted by a panicked system. "Wen Qinxi something terrible happened, Qie Ranzhe is in danger!"


    "What the fuck Jolie? How can he be in danger now? Its too early in the story," asked an exhausted Wen Qinxi.


    "I don''t know why the story is changing but if you don''t go now all your hard work will be for nothing. We would have to start all over again if Qie Ranzhe dies!"


    "Ah! Fuck!" cursed a frustrated Wen Qinxi exiting his room.

 Chapter 18: First World: She was my girlfriend!

    Chapter 18: First World: She was my girlfriend!


    Loud rustling and panting could be heard through the partially dense forest terrifying any nearby wildlife. That was all because of Wen Qinxi who was running through the bushes as fast as he could while chanting, "One billion, huff.....one bil-l-lion," cutting through the forest.


    And why was he running? It was because he wasn''t willing to start the world all over again that is if Qie Ranzhe died today. Jolie had informed him that Qie Ranzhe''s brother, Prince Anzhie had suddenly made his debut earlier than expected. Apparently he has been searching for Qie Ranzhe''s mother who had been driven out of the pce by the empress because she was pregnant.


    The emperor''s heart still yearned for his concubine and if he found out she was pregnant, he would definitely make her son his crown prince. To put his mind at ease, Qie Anzhie set off looking for her so he could kill her and her spawn effectively eliminating the thorn in his eye. This was if the woman hadn''t already sumbed to her fatal injuries as his mother, the empress stabbed her several times with a poisoned dagger straight into the stomach before tossing her out.


    If it were upto Qie Anzhie, he would have preferred it if his mother had just beheaded the slut and cut the baby out her womb before dicing that bastard. Because of this Qie Anzhie searched all usible locations she could have run off too and somehow found himself in this small town.


    Hearing this, a sore Wen Qinxi didn''t hesitate ignoring his muscle ache running through the forest before the prince''s envoy could catch a glimpse of the boy, who looked exactly like the emperor, currently knee deep in training with his wooden sword.


    Qie Ranzhe was meant to be the protagonist of this story but with the current trajectory of the story, it was easy for him to be marked as a villian as he ckened into a genocidal maniac. Thus he could be killed earlier in the game starting the storyline all over again.


    "Fuck that shit! I am not going back to being drowned and beaten up again. That''s not fucking happening!" he yelled at Joile swatting at the thick bushes blocking his path. The thought of being drowned and used as punching bag by a bunch of teenagers sent a painful tingle at the pit of his stomach. He wasn''t willing to do that crap again thus running like his life depends on it.


    ***


    An oblivious Qie Ranzhe was fully aware of people approaching in the distance but didn''t really care much as he continued with his training. The forest was free for all though he remained vignt.


    From a distance, a guard noticed a neatly dressed teenager training with a wooden sword and couldn''t help but admire his skill. He was stuck in a daze watching his graceful yet powerful strikes brimming with extraordinary vigour and agility. The youth had ample potential to be the best of the best under the right master.


    He decided to introduce him to prince An, maybe the kid could be recruited into the army and make something of himself. Judging with his poor quality clothing, he felt pity on him and hence broke formation to inform the prince currently riding on his stallion.


    Qie Ranzhe wiped away the sweat dripping on his forehead before leaning down to pick up his leather water bag. As he leaned down, he sensed a presence but was too slow to react hence he was tackled onto the ground behind a boulder.


    Lin Jingxie was right on top of him with one hand closing his mouth and the other gesturing for him to be quiet. He silently watched as the dazzling boy peeked at something as though stealthily stalking an enemy. The sun kissed his flushed face with his hair slightly damp giving him an enticing wet hair look.


    Qie Ranzhe followed with his eyes a single rogue drop of sweat glimmering in the sunlight as it streamed down from the boy''s earlobe caressing his smooth skin all the way down to his exposed corbone before disappearing into his heaving chest.


    Lin Jingxie seemed as though he hadn''t nned on leaving the house judging from his loose fitting garment showing off part of his jade-like corbone. Qie Ranzhe suddenly felt parched thinking Lin Jingxie was indeed a handsome youth that could drive any girl crazy.


    "Shit! Hising this way," whispered a panicked Wen Qinxi still lying on top of Qie Ranzhe with his knees either side of Qie Ran''s waist. He scanned around trying toe up with something when he noticed they were at the top of a steep hill side. Wen Qinxi then made a decision that would buy them sometime. "Sorry about this," he said before rocking sideways as they rolled down the small cliff huddled in each other''s arms.


    They rolled all the way to the bottom, reaching level ground in a short span of time with Qie Ranzhe now on top of Lin Jingxie grinning like an idiot. "Oh, there he is!" yelled an excited guard at the top of the steep hill.


    Realizing they weren''t out of danger yet, Wen Qinxi slightly frowned at grinning fool before looking around for something that could help. They were both unarmed with one skilled and the other a nerd, they would definitely be apprehended as soon as Qie Anzhiey his eyes on Qie Ranzhe. They would probably be buried alive in some unmarked grave. Yep, Qie Anzhie was that cruel.


    Panicked as they were running out time, Wen Qinxi noticed a damp puddle of thick y and muttered, "Thank the maker."


    "Huh?" asked a confused Qie Ranzhe but was soon thoroughly smeared with y while Lin Jingxie was yelling,


    "You stupid bastard, l am going fuck you up today!" smashing even more y on his face till he barely recognizable.


    An even more perplexed Qie Ranzhe pinned his wrist down with a face covered in disgusting mud mixed with god knows what other petrifying things inside. "The fuck Jin, why the hell did you do that?" he asked trying to spit out some of the dirt in his mouth but Lin Jingxie winked while nudging his head in the approaching guard''s direction.


    Its only then that Qie Ranzhe caught on though he didn''t understand why Lin Jingxie cared so much about the guard.


    "Lets see whose going to fuck who up you little brat!" he yelled acting out his part perfectly before smearing Lin Jingxie''s face with mud as well.


    As the guard approached closer, he saw the pinned boy pushing off the one on top of him freeing himself. He knelt down before tossing a couple handfuls of mud cursing his opponent. "You fucking piece of shit, she was my girlfriend!"

 Chapter 19: First World: Prince Anzhie

    Chapter 19: First World: Prince Anzhie


    That beautiful Sunday the two boys covered in filth escted their fight like a couple of hormonal teens with the shameless CEO not making it any easy for Wen Qinxi. One would think he would at least let the weak one win in a fake fight but he didn''t, subduing Lin Jingxie a couple of times.


    Though it was all an act, Wen Qinxi was genuinely pissed off. He was here to save the guy but Qie Ranzhe didn''t give him any leeway not even once. It was just too painful to watch that even the onlooking guard shook his head covering his face with his palm embarrassed for the losing boy.


    The guard eventually broke up the fight separating the most aggressive one which coincidently was the one losing. The guard grabbed Wen Qinxi by the waist pulling him away from Qie Ranzhe. Though he was only doing them a favour, he sensed an overbearing ominous and suffocating pressure emitting from the boy that was winning the fight.


    Though Qie Ranzhe''s face was covered in mud, the guard was scared stiff instantly letting go of Wen Qinxi who was still knee deep in his acting yelling, "Count yourself lucky you asshole! If l catch you with her again, l will break your legs!"


    Qie Ranzhe''s body stiffen like an ironing board when he heard Lin Jingxie say such words. Though he knew it was all an act, he couldn''t help feel a bit annoyed. ''Its only a freaking act but damn, why does it bother me so much,'' thought Qie Ranzhe before his chain of thought was interrupted by hoarse tauntingughter escaping from a man standing atop the hill.


    He was dressed in navy top of the ss garments that exhibited his wealth with an aristocratic aura to go with it. The guard instantly knelt down calling him his highness while prompting the two boys to kneel as well.


    Wen Qinxi knelt before him but Qie Ranzhe was clenching his fists standing his ground. He didn''t know why but something within was stopping him from bowing before this man. Wen Qinxi who wasn''t up for dying today tugged Qie Ranzhe''s sleeve who was stubbornly ring at Qie Anzhie.


    Qie Ranzhe nced over at Lin Jingxie and was met with a ''don''t you fuckin start something'' look that had him instantly on his knees while biting hard on his lower lip till it drew blood.


    "Is this what you wanted to show me?" mocked the prince with his handsced together behind him while emitting an oppressive aura, "This filthy trash is not worth my time. Go back to what ever sewer you crawled out from and never show yourselves in front of me again," he said before turning back.


    The guard scurried after him pleading with his majesty for forgiveness. The man''s words were eating at Qie Ranzhe like tiny maggots eating at his flesh from within. He had heard even worse insults directed at him growing up in the streets but hearing it from this man was unbearable. A violent storm was brewing within him ready to erupt at any second.


    Just when he was about to stand up and follow that infuriating man, a warm hand grasped his arm instantly pacifying him to a serene calmness like the eye at the centre of a hurricane. It felt like a tingly itch, were Lin Jingxie''s had touched him, gradually spreading to the rest of his arm.


    Lin Jingxie didn''t say anything, he just nudged his head to him gesturing that they should leave. When Lin Jingxie retrieved his hand, Qie Ranzhe felt a sense of loss while following behind him. His rage towards that man was soon forgotten with other pressing matters taking over his mind.


    Wen Qinxi suddenly felt a gentle tug on his sleeveing from the person behind him but he was just too irky and in a horrible mood to oblige Qie Ranzhe. With that in mind, he chose to ignore him as they carried on along the path. "Jin-er do you really have a girlfriend?"


    Wen Qinxi abruptly stopped walking, his shoulders taunt as he slowly turned to look at the overly familiar Qie Ranzhe who had upgraded his form of address. "Haha Jin-er, thats what you are calling me now?" he asked while snickering.


    "Mm aren''t we acquaintance now," replied Qie Ranzhe not even sure if that was it, "or maybe friends?"


    "Okay," replied Wen Qinxi shrugging his shoulders turning around so they could continue walking.


    Qie Ranzhe frowned looking at Lin Jingxie''s back wondering why he didn''t answer the question. He reprimanded himself for being too nosy which was unlike him and it worked for a while till it began etching at him. He had to know the truth and so he eventually gave in asking, "You didn''t answer my question. Is it Lee Jienjie?"


    Wen Qinxi didn''t know whether tough or cry amused by Qie Ranzhe''s question. He was curious to know what his reaction would be if he said yes. ''He would probably be jealous that l got a girlfriend before he did. Haha l have five fingers Qie Ranzhe and the middle one is for you boss,'' he thought with an innocent smile.


    "Yes but its not Lee Jienjie, " his said slowing down to work alongside Qie Ranzhe about to toot his own horn. "You don''t know but she''s an absolute loli with gorgeous doe-eyes and pretty red lips. Woh, l haven''t even mentioned those long smooth le-," he passionately described his fake girlfriend but abruptly paused when Qie Ranzhe rushed ahead of him with a bleak expression.


    "What the fuck? Hey Qie Ranzhe, l wasn''t done," he called after him with a satisfied smile. ''Haha feel the burn male god, we are always envying you now it''s your turn to envy someone,'' he thought finally catching up.


    "Do you want to hear more?" asked Wen Qinxi now walking backwards in front of him but Qie Ranzhe looked cold and aloof not giving him the least bit of attention.


    Unfortunately for Wen Qinxi, he had no eyes at the back of his head and hence tripped over a protruding root. He lost his bnce heading straight for the ground but Qie Ranzhe with his cat-like reflexes, grasped his arm pulling him back up. But because he used too much force, Lin Jingxie''s mouth bumped into Qie Ranzhe''s chin.


    From a distance, it looked like Lin Jingxie kissed Qie Ranzhe''s chin which could easily be misunderstood by onlookers. Qie Ranzhe''s heart thumped loudly through his ears though his face was as calm as ever. "Am so so sorry. Thats fuckin embarrassing," said Wen Qinxi as natural as ever.


    "Lucky for you, your girlfriend wasn''t here otherwise she would misunderstand," said Qie Ranzhe before walking past him.


    Wen Qinxi felt grateful Qie Ranzhe caught him otherwise he would in tears right now crying over minor bruises which would ultimately make him lose face in front of Qie Ranzhe. "I was joking. l don''t have a girlfriend, okay? How can l have time to get one when you and Lin Mingxu are always keeping me busy. Sharks, l need a vacation from both of you," he rumbled on as they walked into town.


    What he didn''t see was Qie Ranzhe''s grin when he heard he didn''t have a girlfriend. That smile would have definitely freaked out Wen Qinxi enough to quit the game.

 Chapter 20: First World: Snitch

    Chapter 20: First World: Snitch


    The walk home was extremely tiring as the zing sun dried out the mud on Wen Qinxi face to crispy kes. By the time he got back at the Lin mansion, he was literally dragging his feet panting with his head dropped down as tired as a single mother of four.


    Wen Qinxi jumped over the fence to sneak back into the mansion as the entire Lin family thought he was asleep. He didn''t even pay attention when he walked past the main hall which was currently hosting some guests. If he had gone through the front gate he would have notice the prince''s envoy warning him in advance.


    As Prince Anzhie noticed a familiar filthy figure walking past the door his face showed a wolfish appearance. He could have let the kid go but Qie An wouldn''t be Qie Anzhie if he did that. "Aiya.....Master Lin has indeed raised a noble eloquent young master," said the prince looking straight at Lin Jingxie passing by.


    Master Lin followed his gaze and was extremely appalled by what he saw. His usually neat and graceful son was ridden in filth like a piglet that had rolled in a muddy puddle. His posture was sluggishcking an ounce of nobility. If it had been any regr day he would have let it go but the idiot had to look like that in front of his guest.


    "Young Master Lin grace us with your presence!" said Prince Anzhie just in time to stop him before he disappeared. If he had known this was Master Lin''s son he would have thrown it in the pompous man''s face a long time ago. Master Lin was held in high esteem by the emperor and a constant reminder of Qie Anzhie''s ws as the emperor wouldn''t shut up about him. It was time to exert a little revenge.


    Wen Qinxi who was just trying not to get caught, heard his name being called and so scanned around. Only to be faced by a ckend Master Lin with veins bulging on his forehead and Prince Anzhie with an eerie grin on his face. ''Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! l am so screwed,'' he thought obediently walking back and bowing before the two men gazing at him.


    He muttered, "l am so-sorry father," but Master Lin didn''t say anything. He wasn''t the type that would embarass you in front of strangers but in private, he would sort you out straight.


    Master Lin was about to dismiss him vowing to deal with himter but Prince Anzhie decided to add fuel to the already zing fire. "Oh, now l remember were l saw this young master before," he said before sipping some of his tea, "he''s that fellow that was fighting with another youth over a girlfriend, tsk tsk what a shame. As young and weathy as young master Lin is, why would he fight over a woman with a peasant out in the open?"


    Master Lin red at Lin Jingxie with fuming eyes while clenching his fist under the table. The brat had been fighting again and to top it all of, he had a girlfriend.


    Wen Qinxi cringed being red at like that by Master Lin before averting his gaze only to nce at Prince Anzhie who was leering at him. ''How old are you, you fuckin snitch!'' cursed Wen Qinxi in his head before bowing while apologising to Master Lin.


    "Go clean up, will discuss thister," he said to Lin Jingxie before turning to the prince, "l apologise to His Highness having to witness such appalling behavior. It is my fault as a father for not teaching him well, l will make sure to discipline him." All this was said while gnashing his teeth swallowing down his rage. He just wanted to knock some sense into that unruly child.


    Wen Qinxi stomped to his room in anger while yelling at Jolie. This was its job to warn him in advance otherwise what was the point of keeping it around. ''Seriously Jolie, do you actually want Qie Ranzhe out of this game or you are just here to fuck with me. What the fuck is wrong with you?''


    ''Haha, boss don''t be angry. Please calm your nerves otherwise you will die of anger and that would be fucking embarrassing for you,'' said Jolie in a pathetic attempt to appease Wen Qinxi. Actually the system was up to no good elsewhere that it didn''t realize when Prince Anzhie arrived at the Lin mansion. As for what it was doing, well who knows.


    ''Such an asshole. Fine, at least you know why that scumbag his here, right?'' he asked taking off the sticky muddy mess he was wearing instantly freeing himself feeling rxed.


    ''Oh him, the jerkass is looking for information about Qie Ranzhe''s mother and Master Lin is the right person to ask. Its easy for Master Lin to get hold of all kinds of information but you don''t have to worry because he doesn''t get along with Qie Anzhie so he wouldn''t give him the information even if he knew it.''


    ''See, aren''t things better when you do your job right?'' said Wen Qinxi brimming with annoyance. Jolie didn''t want to make Wen Qinxi angry as it desperately wanted thatpanion system. If it had hands right now it would be massaging Wen Qinxi''s shoulders while feeding him grapes.


    ''Ahem....boss, how are you nning on raising money to build the shelter. Its truly heartbreaking seeing you exhausted like this. How about you ask for a king size bed from Master Lin so you can sleep a bit better?'' asked the system shamelessly sucking up to Wen Qinxi.


    Wen Qinxi massaged his temple frustrated to the core. Being called boss by Jolie made his scalp numb with goosebumps forming all over his body.


    ''Joile will you stop calling me boss, save that for Qie Ranzhe. And a king size bed means Qie Ranzhe would never leave, he would permanently move in,'' replied Wen Qinxi before detailing his n, ''I was thinking of an easy way to make money in a short pace of time and that is street theater,'' now speaking with passion like a motivational speaker.


    Here is the thing about Wen Qinxi, he belonged to the drama club in school and once aspired to be an actor and not just any actor but a performer on a theatrical stage, Broadway and all. Please refrain from mocking him as we all had odd dreams when we were growing up.


    Jolie tried to restrain itself but couldn''t help letting out a stifledugh. ''Pfft.....you a theatrical actor," said Jolie ready to take a dump on his idea but soon stopped when it recalled it needed Wen Qinxi''s help, ''Yea, sure thats an awesome idea boss.''


    ''You think its a joke? You are looking at a three time bronze medalists for best performer in middle school,'' bragged Wen Qinxi as though trying to convince the system but when he says three time bronze medalists it was because they were only three kids participating. Unfortunately the programmer overestimated his acting skills.


    ''Okay, l see. So you are going toe up with a script?'' asked Jolie still fighting off the urge tough.


    Wen Qinxi gave off a ''why the fuck would l do that'' expression before saying, ''Why would l waste my time when l can adopt stories like little red riding hood or Romeo and Juliet? Clever right?'' asked Wen Qinxi as he left to go take a bath.


    For sure, Wen Qinxi nned for his street performance right after surviving Master Lin''s gruesome punishment which was manuring an entire field by himself.


    With him as the lead actor and his brother as the second lead, the two took on the streets to make some money initiating operation ''get Qie Ranzhe off his bed''.

 Chapter 21: First World: Secret Performance

    Chapter 21: First World: Secret Performance


    Street theater de Qi was officially open, entertaining multitudes far and wide and when l say far and wide, l mean within the confines of the town.


    Everyday, Wen Qinxi would drop off Qie Ranzhe''s food and run off to showcase his talent. The main acts included the ssics like little red riding hood, a weird version of Romeo and Juliet and mn among many.


    Surprisingly the audience seemed generous as long as the story was funny or had some face pping drama in it. The cast was short handed but Wen Qinxi made it work with his brother and a handful of servants.


    The female lead roles apparently ended up on hisp because Lee Jienjie''s father wouldn''t let her. It was also a weird historical setting in the game not allowing women to be performers though Wen Qinxi had a strong suspicion that Jolie had something to do with it.


    Wen Qinxi as usual got ready in the tent that Master Lin kindly provided. Though he didn''t agree with Lin Jingxie and Lin Mingxu performing for an audience, he had already asked them to make money and couldn''t go back on his word. When they told him how they nned on making money, he deliberately reduced the total cost before showing him so his son didn''t have to do this for long.


    "Jin-ge, today''s character is more romantic than usual we have to put a lot of makeup to make you look more feminine," said Lee Jienjie who had appointed herself as the makeup artist with itchy hands, pping on too much turning him to a ghost.


    Today''s y was adopted from Mn with one of the servants acting as the General. Wen Qinxi was extremely thrilled to y this character, one of the greatest women in history. "No, l told you less is more, didn''t l? l don''t want to look like a drag queen,'' he reprimanded an enthusiastic Lee Jienjie.


    "No l was wrong, drag queens actually look gorgeous, you just want to turn me into the ghost from The Grudge," said Wen Qinxi grabbing the rogue powder from her hands.


    "What are drag queens?" asked Lee Jienjiepletely missing the point.


    "They are beautiful queens that''s what they are," he said putting on makeup on himself. He had once designed a dress up game for high schoolers when he was in undergrad and learnt a few makeup tips from college girls to improve the gaming experience. Though unprofessional it was still better than what Lee Jienjie nned to do to his face.


    With a beautiful dress on, Wen Qinxi went on stage to perform what he called a masterpiece.


    ***


    All the way across town within the bounds of the forest, Qie Ranzhe had justpleted his training for the day. The boy had been working extra hard as he nned on joining the newly established branch of the tinum guild that had ties with the emperor. The guild was prestigious and paid well which meant he could take care of the boys and improve his status.


    For some reason, he felt the desire to be in the same ne as Lin Jingxie. Maybe it was because he didn''t want Lin Jingxie to look down on him or be worthy to be his friend? Whatever the reason, Qie Ranzhe worked his butt off practicing a lot more as though training for the Olympics.


    He arrived in the camp but the atmosphere seemed off, actually it had felt off to him for four days now. The boys seemed busy with something that is everyone apart from Machu and Xie Ruen.


    Whenever he came back mid-afternoon, the camp would bepletely empty and when they dide back, they would be chatting silently in groups as though discussing a secret. The one time he tried sitting next to them, they stopped whispering and began talking loudly changing whatever subject they were discussing.


    He brushed it off and never asked, the boys deserved to have their own secrets unless it involved something that could bring them harm. If they didn''t tell him about it, it meant it wasn''t an emergency so Qie Ranzhe didn''t probe any further. After bathing in the river near the camp, he came back to a nowpletely deserted camp, even Xie Ruen had disappeared.


    Though he wasn''t a busybody, curiosity finally got the best of him, prompting him to ask the only person left in camp. "Where is everyone?" asked Qie Ranzhe putting on a clean set of clothes.


    Machu who had just walked in, paused in his tracks with a bowl of warmed up beef chow mein delivered by Lin Jingxie. Though busy Wen Qinxi still found time to deliver food to Qie Ranzhe otherwise they might end up having another friendly tussle which Wen Qi wasn''t looking forward to.


    Machu seemed hesitant to tell the truth and so half-assed it like a pro. "They went to watch some boring y. Ahem...here eat while its hot," he said with shifty eyes sitting next to him.


    "Oh," replied Qie Ranzhe while stirring the noodles getting ready to eat. He had to admit after a long day of training the only thing he looked forward to was Lin Jingxie''s cooking. For him it felt as heartwarming as what a home cooked meal should feel like.


    Whenever his thoughts strayed in this direction, he always felt like kidnapping Lin Jingxie and make him cook only for him. It was a terrible thought but somehow he couldn''t get rid of it as it intensified with each meal.


    "By the way, have you noticed Lin Jingxie has been acting weird these days?" he asked making Machu choke on a steamed bun he was munching on.


    He violently coughed only calming down after drinking bucket loads of water. "Eat your food slowly next time," said Qie Ranzhe patting his back while handing him another cup of water.


    "Not really, his just happier l guess, *cough, *cough, thats probably it," replied a barely recovered Machu hoping Qie Ranzhe would stop questioning him.


    Qie Ranzhe stopped patting him while looking like he had just been struck by lightning. Teenage boys had a few things that made them this happy and the most probable cause was girls. "Fuck! Did he get a girlfriend?" asked Qie Ranzhe with his heart beating so fast as fast as a car on a race track.


    Machu paused his actions pondering on whether to say yes or no but judging on Qie Ranzhe''s exaggerated reaction, he decided to tell the truth. "No, he''s the performer in the y the boys have been going to. He said that it was for an important project so his been performing and people donate money," exined Machu crossing his fingers that they would move on and talk about something else.


    Qie Ranzhe frowned ring at Manchu, he could tell the guy was withholding information which made him feel anxious. "Spill it before l make you," he said in calm but incredibly terrifying voice.


    "He, um.....he''s been.....how can l say this. He''s acting as the female lead in all the ys. Dress and everything," said a nervous Machu. He had heard that Lin Jingxie looked so good in a dress and makeup on but he hadn''t actually seen it for himself. Xie Ruen hadn''t gone too because he was still afraid of Lin Jingxie, he only went today because the others literally dragged him there.


    "What the fuck did you say," asked Qie Ranzhe with all the blood drained from his face. He didn''t wait for Machu to reply storming out of the room inrge strides heading for the town square.


    Machu ran after him yelling, "Ran-ge please calm down. Its not a big deal," secretly lighting a candle for Lin Jingxie. His useless speech fell on deaf ears as Qie Ranzhe was too overwhelmed by whatever emotion that was controlling him.

 Chapter 22: First World: An Enchanted Pervert

    Chapter 22: First World: An Enchanted Pervert


    Things had indeed headed in an unexpected direction, Manchu had just thought Qie Ranzhe would be annoyed with the truth. He didn''t think Qie Ranzhe would storm off to the town square in a huff. ''Why is he this angry?'' thought a puzzled Machu struggling to keep up with Qie Ranzhe''s long strides.


    If Manchu was to ask Qie Ranzhe that question, he wouldn''t be able to answer it as well. The guy didn''t even know why he was this angry but couldn''t dial it down no matter how hard he tried. He hoped that when he saw Lin Jingxie, he would be able to figure out why he felt this way.


    The town square was more lively than ever with people sitting on wooden benches watching the show on an elegant animated stage. Considering the Lin boys had a short time to build this stage, it was actually wonderfully constructed decorated in a antique elegance that was nice to look at.


    Qie Ranzhe stood at the back of the audience as all the seats were upied. Next to him and Machu were a group of rowdy boys watching the show intently. They seemed excited about something and Qie Ranzhe only realised what they were excited about when Lin Jingxie showed up on the stage in a dress and minimal exquisite makeup that actually modified his handsome features to an unattainable celestal delicate beauty.


    This version of Lin Jingxie had everyone smitten, he was truly enchanting even when dressed as ady. He was acting out a romantic scene with some sort of general and the sight of it intensified the rage bottled up within Qie Ranzhe. He was like a pressure cooker inches to exploding.


    "Aiyo...you were right, young master Jin is as enchanting as you said. If only he was girl," said one of the boys with a beaming smile that made Qie Ranzhe wish he could gouge out those lustful eyes so he won''ty eyes on Lin Jingxie ever again.


    "I am already bewitched, l no longer care that his a man," said one of them with yearning in his eyespletely oblivious of the kettle sizzling behind him.


    "We are in the same boat,st night l had a spring dream about him. I was so confused, normally its a beautiful naked woman in my dreams as the main character. I am suddenly curi-," said another boy before he was tapped on the shoulder by Machu.


    He didn''t know why their conversation pissed off Qie Ranzhe so much but when he realised his big brother was about to explode, he had the boys quiet down otherwise it would end up bloody. They couldn''t afford to anger another rich kid otherwise all the boys would be implicated.


    The boys dialed it down only because Lin Jingxie had just concluded his act and the audience were apuding as the cast bowed before them. "Thank you so much for your support, please don''t forget to donate to our cause," said Wen Qinxi with a dazzling smile that had some wives covering their husbands'' eyes.


    "Young Master Jingxie, how about showing us your ankles and l will give you half of what you make today," said one of the boys standing in proximity of hurricane Qie Ranzhe at the back.


    Wen Qinxi chuckled before replying, "My ankles are worth more than that, l am afraid you can''t afford me," whilezily cing his hands on either side of his waist. ''You fuckin pervert,'' he thought with a fake smile while gnashing his teeth.


    The stupid boy kept on going saying, "Okay, l understand. How about l give you double of what you earn today," discretely biting his lower lip.


    "Ai, such a big spender, l am afraid l am not in the business of pimping myself but thank you for your support," said Wen Qinxi with every intention of ending this nonsensical conversation with the pervert.


    "How is it any different from your seductive performance. Wasn''t th-," he spoke but was cut off when a flying kick struck his shoulder from no where instantly knocking him out. Probably passed out from the pain. Qie Ranzhe was about to beat up all of them but was held back with great struggle by Manchu.


    The other boys didn''t dare act impulsively especially after the incident were Qie Ranzhe dislocated Sun Huxian''s arm. No one wanted to mess with him because of his reputation more so when he was now in good books with Lin Jingxie.


    Qie Ranzhe finally stopped and turned to the melon eaters who were calmly enjoying the show. "If any of you fuckers disrespect Young Master Jin, you will suffer the same fate as him!" he roared while pointing at the fallen victim, "And you better be fuckin generous with those donations!"


    Lin Mingxu wanted to interject before but was a tad bit slower with Qie Ranzhe dealing with the pervert like a bull rampaging at a busy market. Though he didn''t like him, he was extremely grateful for that. His brother had been subjected to such perverted groupies ever since they started this which was pissing off.


    Qie Ranzhe suddenly walked over to the stage after he was down scolding the audience and dragged Lin Jingxie away to an alley right behind the stage. Lin Mingxu knew too well not to interrupt and so closed off the show before collecting donations.


    In the alley, Qie Ranzhe pushed Lin Jingxie against the wall yelling, "Stay!" before walking into the tent startling Lee Jienjie who was packing up the costumes. "Water!" hemanded his eyes full of anger throwing away all his manners out of the window.


    A terrified Lee Jienjie with a trembling finger pointed at the water pitcher on the tray. Qie Ranzhe grabbed it and turned to walk out before pausing in his tracks, "Thanks," and walked out only to find Lin Jingxie tip-toeing away like a scardy-cat.


    Qie Ranzhe shook his head in disappointment before dragging him back to the wall by the back of his cor. "Dage let''s talk about this. Let''s use our words not our fists," said Wen Qinxi trying to negotiate with a crazed Qie Ranzhe. ''Why the fuck am l even exining myself to this idiot?'' he thought still trying to find a means of escape.


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t pay attention to him and asked for something instead, "Handkerchief?" in an impatient tone. Wen Qinxi was perplexed for a moment responding a bit slower and so Qie Ranzhe searched his clothes with no ounce of embarrassment only ceasing his actions when he found it.


    Wen Qinxi who had just been felt up by his crazy boss was stunned speechless. Its only when Qie Ranzhe damped his handkerchief that he realised what was going on. "l wil-," he said before he was cut off with a handkerchief rubbing the makeup off his face.


    The rubbing motion started off harsh but gradually became gentle clearing off all the makeup on Wen Qinxi''s face. He finally rxed when he realised Qie Ranzhe was just irritated by him wearing makeup. "Qie Ranzhe if you didn''t want me to wear makeup, you should have just said so. I would have taken it off myself," said Wen Qinxi with a smile on his face.


    Qie Ranzhe was knitting his brows togetherpletely focused with on the task at hand. His ttering eyshes were so close to Wen Qinxi that he felt like touching them. This version of Qie Ranzhe was extremely gentle that any girl would be touched.


    ''If only you showed Zhao Huangzhi this side of you, she would have loved you to death,'' thought Wen Qinxi hoping the female lead would make an early appearance so his boss can finally be with the love of his life.


    "Don''t ever wear make up again. It attracts flies," said Qie Ranzhe putting his hand down only when he was satisfied that it was all gone.


    Wen Qinxi was wondering how he was going to do that when he still had to perform. "I will think about it," he said before walking back to the tent. Qie Ranzhe followed closely behind thinking of ways to convince him when Lin Mingxu spoke up in excitement.


    "Ge! We made three times more today," said Lin Mingxu showing the money to a thrilled Lin Jingxie. Watching the two brothers jumping up and down like little girls was just too embarrassing. ''Aren''t these weirdos rich? Why are they so excited over petty cash?'' thought a confused Qie Ranzhe as he ced the water pitcher back on the tray and stood with his arms idly folded across his chest.


    "Jin-ge, may l speak to you?" requested a nervous Sun Huxian who had just barged into the tent uninvited with his arm strapped into a sling bandage.

 Chapter 23: First World: I LIKE YOU!

    Chapter 23: First World: I LIKE YOU!


    On this particrly exciting day, the mood in the tent was suddenly dampened with Qie Ranzhe emitting massive kill intent towards Sun Huxian. The young master was standing there looking straight at the only boy wearing a dress while nervously pinching the helm of his sleeve.


    ''What the fuck is going on?'' thought Wen Qinxi gazing at him in confusion. Before he coulde up with a polite way to decline as they really had no business with each other, Qie Ranzhe suddenly stepped in front of Sun Huxian blocking his view of Lin Jingxie.


    "He has no business with you, please show yourself out," said Qie Ranzhe, his stance extremely intimidating that even Wen Qinxi felt like cowering away though he wasn''t the one being threatened.


    Somehow the message wasn''t clear enough because Sun Huxian was persistent. "I-l really need to speak to him, it''s important," said Sun Huxian a bit hesitant than before.


    Qie Ranzhe''s dark glowering eyes terrified him but he wasn''t going anywhere till he said what he needed to say. "Do you want me to break your other arm to ma-!" yelled Qie Ranzhe before a hand was ced on his shoulder patting him twice. He wanted to continue threatening Sun Huxian but at the touch of Lin Jingxie''s hand his mind went nk forgetting what he wanted to say.


    "Look, you and l are not on good terms but l will hear you out. l give you five seconds and it starts...now," said Wen Qinxi lifting his five fingers initiating a countdown.


    Sun Huxian was nervous stammering a couple of times underpressure, breaking into a cold sweat. "Four.....three...two.....o-," he counted down before Sun Huxian suddenly blurted out something that had three people in the tent bbergasted while one of them was so angry he could just murder Sun Huxian were he stood.


    "I LIKE YOU!" yelled Sun Huxian at the top of his voice as though afraid Lin Jingxie wouldn''t hear his confession. Here is the thing about young master Sun, he had heard about Lin Jingxie''s performance and decided to poke fun at him or possibly beat him up as pay back for his broken arm. He attended on the second day but instead of mocking Lin Jingxie, he was bewitched by him ultimately igniting a new obsession.


    He thought he would get over him if he kept his distance but he couldn''t stop thinking about him and ended up attending every single performance. The truth was as clear as day, he was having cherry blossom moments each time he saw Lin Jingxie and thus his confession today. The desire to make Lin Jingxie his was more than the fear of being rejected.


    Qie Ranzhe was fuming like an incinerator that had collided with a gasoline tank. He couldn''t fathom why everyone had impure intentions towards Lin Jingxie when they were plenty of others to like. ''Not allowed,'' he thought imagining a thousand ways to kill Sun Haoran. He was about to beat him shitless when Lin Jingxie took action.


    Wen Qi drew Qie Ranzhe''s sword but paused when he realised it was wooden. He red at Qie Ranzhe saying, "We need to get you fuckin sword," while pointing it at him. He handed it back to Qie Ranzhe and moved towards Lin Mingxu drawing his sword before aiming it inches away from Sun Huxian''s neck.


    "If you fuckin dare have such thoughts about me ever again, l will chop your balls off and dly turn you into eunuch. Do you understand?" he said in a threatening whisper that sent shivers down Sun Huxian''s spine.


    Qie Ranzhe was just standing there dazed by this version of Lin Jingxie. He had been in a few scuffles with him before the drowning incident and they had threatened each other back and forth multiple times but he had never been enthralled like this before. ''His a fuckin badass,'' thought Qie Ranzhe suddenly imagining he and Lin Jingxie taking over the world as a dynamic duo.


    Sun Huxian nodded his head to save his neck but in actuality there was no way he was going to get over him that fast. Wen Qinxi gave the sword back to Lin Mingxu as Sun Huxian ran away like his pants were on fire.


    The tent was silent for a while as Wen Qinxi was changing out of the dress behind a folding screen. He was extremely annoyed by Sun Huxian wondering what gave him the balls to say such things when he bullied Xie Ruen to the point of scaring his body. ''Thats some fucked up shit right there,'' he thought whileing out from behind the folding screen as elegent and exquisite as ever.


    "Such an idiot, what gave him the courage to go after Jin-ge. Doesn''t he know he belongs to me," said Lee Jienjie while reaching out to touch his sleeve but missed when Qie Ranzhe suddenly draped his arm around Lin Jingxie''s shoulders pulling him out of the way with a sly grin.


    "Lets go," said Qie Ranzhe with his bodynguage clearly marking his territory. Wen Qinxi was tongue-tied wondering what was wrong with this weirdo but didn''t say anything allowing himself to be led out of the tent.


    She stomped the ground with her foot, feeling disgruntled while watching them leave huddled up like best friends. "Tsk, tsk, tsk.....such a temper. Jin-ge is friends with him now so bare with it that is if you want to ever be his wife. Can''t you see how much more calm l am, haha wee to the club," said Lin Mingxu before following his brother.


    Thus the get rid of Qie Ranzhe club grew by one more determined member.

 Chapter 24: First World: Sneaking In Like Pros

    Chapter 24: First World: Sneaking In Like Pros


    With the performance concluded and the servants packing up, Qie Ranzhe somehow followed Wen Qinxi all the way home sticking to him like glue shielding the littlemb from other hungry wolves.


    Wen Qinxi really wanted to chase him off but felt bad especially after he fend off those perverts earlier. Afy bed and warm dinner


    was the least he could do to thank him. Wen Qinxi had to sneak him into the house like a boy sneaking in his girlfriend into a coge dorm which FYI he had never done before.


    "Jin-ge, do you have to bring him with us. You can reward him with two bowls of food tomorrow," whispered Lin Mingxu into Lin Jingxie''s ear.


    "What ever you have to say, say it out loud. Don''t be shy, l know l am handsome so you don''t have to whisper about it. Say it loud and proud like this ''Ran-ge is handsome''. Repeat after me, Ran-ge is-," said Qie Ranzhe giving him a taunting look before pushing him away with his hand that was still hanging around Lin Jingxie''s shoulders.


    "Shit! Who said you are fuckin handsome, more like an ugly troll," fired back a highly irritable Lin Mingxu wishing he could break that arm off Lin Jingxie''s shoulders.


    Wen Qinxi had tried several times to get out Qie Ranzhe''s grasp but each time he tried, he was drawn in closer into a loose chokehold ultimately detering him from trying.


    His mind suddenly went back to high school recalling how Qie Ranzhe used to be just like this with his friends swaggering around the school yard with girl screaming their lungs out. He would watch them through the window wishing he could be part of that clique. Maybe he would have found a cute loli to makeout with under the bleachers.


    ''Haaa such a big dream it was,'' he thought looking up the fence they were about to jump over. "Mingxu, jump over first and check if the coast is clear," said Wen Qinxi patting his back but Lin Mingxu pouted in disapproval while shaking his head.


    "Who will give you a boost if l am over at the other side?" heined averting his gaze from Qie Ranzhe.


    "Aish stop being difficult, Qie Ranzhe is taller than you. He will boost me up," said Wen Qinxi with his brows furrowed in annoyance.


    Lin Mingxu gave in that was after Qie Ranzhe taunted him once more, "You heard that, l am taller than you shorty," he said with a sly grin but offended Wen Qinxi in the process.


    "If he is shorty then what am l? You going to call me a fuckin midget?" said Wen Qinxi ring daggers at him. Qie Ranzhe gazed back at him suddenly finding this angry Lin Mingxu surprisingly cute. He just want to poke and poke some more at the little kitten till he got mad then pat him to pacify his rage.


    Realising the trap he had just set for himself Qie Ranzhe tried to appease Lin Jingxie otherwise he might change his mind and kick him out for the night. "No you are not, it was a joke," rubbing his shoulder in a coaxing manner.


    ''Shit! Why does it feel like he''s a husband coaxing his little wife,'' thought Wen Qinxi flicking Qie Ranzhe''s hand off his shoulders.


    "Troublesome," he said before pointing at Lin Mingxu, "chop chop we don''t have all day."


    Lin Mingxu obediently jumped over the fence checking if the coast was clear before saying, "Jin-ge its safe," in a loud whisper.


    "Give me a boost," said Wen Qinxi as Qie Ranzheced his fingers together while leaning against the wall facing him.


    Wen Qinxi stepped on his hands climbing onto Qie Ranzhe''s shoulders to reach the top of the wall. He suddenly yelped like a puppy when his butt was somehow fondled by Qie Ranzhe.


    "Hey, where do you think you are cing your hands?" said Wen Qinxi looking down at the teenager who looked like he had just received an electric shock with his guilty hand frozen mid-air. He shook his head in denial as though falsely used. "Stop messing around and jump over," said Wen Qinxi climbing over to the other side.


    The touch was definitely idental but the pleasure that came with it was purely intentional. Qie Ranzhe found that Lin Jingxie''s firm butt was kind of pleasing to touch. He felt like touching more of it and even giving it a gentle squeeze in the process. He hoped for more idental opportunities while climbing over to join them. In an instant they had sucessfully snuck into Lin Jingxie''s roompletely unaware that had already been caught.


    "Master Lin, the boys came back but jumped over the fence at the back of the mansion with a third person," said the servant who had dashed to the main study when he witnessed part of the crime.


    Master Lin had clearly instructed the servant to let him know when the boys returned but didn''t anticipate such a heinous crime deliberately sneaking someone into the mansion. His face scowled as he inquired further, "Is it a girl they snuck in?" If it was, then those boys would not live to see another daylight.


    "I-I don''t know. Forgive me Master Lin, l didn''t take a closer look," said the terrified servant keeping his distance.


    Master Lin tossed everything off his table, throwing a fit before storming out of the room mumbling, "Those two idiots think they are going to make me a grandfather when l am still young, they better think again."


    His mind had already run wild with various scenarios. He had neverid a single hand on them, okay, maybe once but it had been a light spank when they were toddlers. If it turned out as he thought it was, he nned on beating them ck and blue that they wouldn''t dare look at a woman ever again till they turned forty.


    Like a police officer conducting a drug raid, he kicked open the door yelling, "Jin!" before he froze with a puzzled face. ''What the fuck are they doing?'' he thought standing there like a statue.

 Chapter 25: First World: Lin Jins Little Meimei

    Chapter 25: First World: Lin Jin''s Little Meimei


    The scene that Master Lin had unfortunately walked into had him speechless but what could be so appalling that he couldn''t even annunciate a single word. Let''s rewind to ten minutes.


    Qie Ranzhe was lying on the bed watching Lin Jingxie counting money on the table unconsciously observing his exquisite features without even realizing it. He watched as his darkshes flickered while his dreamy starry eyes motioned focusing on the task at hand. His wless porcin skin became more apparent reflecting the rays of the setting sun.


    Qie Ranzhe was stuck in his own bubble that he suddenly blurted out, "You looked so pretty earlier on that''s why you shouldn''t wear makeup,"zily lying on his stomach with half closed eyes.


    Wen Qinxi''s scalp went numb at the thought of being called pretty by Qie Ranzhe and expectedlyshed out kicking the chair nearby. ''What kind of bullshit is that. How can a man be called pretty?'' he thought turning to look at him with mischievous eyes.


    "You know any man can look a tad bit pretty with makeup on. Do you want to give it a try?" he said inching closer to him like a psycho toying with his victim.


    Qie Ranzhe suddenly had a bad premonition and rolled off to the other side of the bed creating more distance between them. "Okay, l was wrong. I shouldn''t have said that," he said nervously smiling trying to coax Lin Jingxie.


    "Qie Ranzhee here so l can fuckin show you what being pretty looks like," he said lunging onto the bed to get to him with rogue powder in his hand.


    "Look, you are spilling everywhere. Just calm down, l am sorry okay?" he said while being chased all around the room by a crazed man with makeup on his hand.


    "You better give in now otherwise you going to sleep on the floor," threatened Wen Qinxi pushing a chair aside going after him. Sleeping on the floor was in no way convenient for Qie Ranzhe hence he stopped running but pinned Lin Jingxie against the wall tightly holding his wrist that had the powder ultimately forcing him to let go.


    They were so close to each other with their warm breath intertwined together, he was close enough to catch a whiff of Lin Jingxie''s pleasant scent engraving it in his memory. Qie Ranzhe''s heart began to thump exponentially the longer they lingered in this ambiguous position. Shortness of breath followed behind with his eyes ridden with confusion. ''What''s wrong with me?'' he thought struggling to calm himself down.


    He was about to let Lin Jingxie go when Lin Mingxu suddenly walked into such a scene dropping whatever he was holding. "Qie Ranzhe stop bullying my brother. Get off him," he said walking towards them.


    Qie Ranzhe turned his attention to Lin Jingxie sowing discord among them. "Haven''t you always wanted a little meimei?" he asked with his eyes motioning for the makeup.


    Wen Qinxi was eager to dress up Lin Mingxu just like he dressed up his little brother to sneak into a beauty pageant at fifteen just to see pretty girls. "You grab his legs if he tries to run away," whispered an excited Wen Qinxi.


    Free from Qie Ranzhe''s grasp he grabbed one of the costumes he had been wearing for some of the performances and handed it over to Lin Mingxu saying, "Mingxu can you try this on for your big brother please," in such a gentle tone that could convince anyone to rob a bank.


    The kid with a strong brotherplex couldn''t say no to that and so he put it on with no second thought. It looked so awkward seeing a tall guy wearing an ill fitting dress. Wen Qinxi and Qie Ranzhe wanted tough but restrainted themselves as that was only half the n.


    "Okay, now sit so l canplete the look," said Wen Qinxi walking closer to him but Lin Mingxu wasn''t stupid. He didn''t mind the dress but the makeup, he couldn''t bring himself to wear. Brotherplex or not that wasn''t happening.


    "Jin-ge you know l love you but that''s not happening," said Lin Mingxu walking backwards.


    "Come on now, no one will see, its just the three of us. Mingxue here!" thest part was said in a rathermanding tone as Wen Qinxi was no longer coaxing him into this.


    Just when he thought he could escape from such a torturous event, Qie Ranzhe was too fast for him blocking his path. "Dage Ahhh!" yelled Lin Mingxu as Lin Jingxie powdered his face generously.


    Thus the youth struggled with one subduing him and the other putting on blush on his cheeks but because he struggled so much, it wasn''t done well. Lin Mingxu looked like a clown that had been drenched in water during a circus act.


    This is the scene that Master Lin walked into with Lin Mingxu face down on the floor, Qie Ranzhe holding him down and Lin Jingxie putting more make up on him. "Father save me!" whined Lin Mingxu stretching out his hand as though falling to his death. Wen Qinxi and Qie Ranzhe let him go with their heads drooping down looking as guilty as ever.


    "Jin, how can you do this to your sister," said Master Lin not even realizing his mistake.


    Lin Mingxu who was now standing behind him hiding from the two bulliesined feeling wronged, "Dad l am a boy,"


    The other two fought so hard to suppress theirughter which was not so hard especially when Master Lin looked like he wanted to kill someone. "Yes you are a boy, go wash your face and change out of that dress," said Master Lin looking at him while shaking his head rendered speechless.


    Lin Mingxu scurried off leaving behind only a cloud of dust just in case his father changed his mind and punished him. "You two follow me to my study this instant," said Master Lin in a autocratic tone as he turned to lead the way.


    ''Dads are so fuckin scary,'' thought Wen Qinxi following behind with a remorseful look hoping to convince judge Lin to lessen the punishment.

 Chapter 26: First World: Marriage Proposal

    Chapter 26: First World: Marriage Proposal


    The two boys followed behind Master Lin looking like convicts on death row awaiting their final judgement. They followed in silence afraid to make a single sound just in case it tipped Master Lin over the edge possibly intensifying the sentence. Master Lin didn''t say anything the whole way and only spoke when he sat down in his chair looking down at the two boys.


    Only then did he clearly see Qie Ranzhe''s face and the closer he looked the more suffocated he felt. This child looked familiar but Master Lin couldn''t figure out who he looked like. Being stared at like that by Master Lin made Qie Ranzhe feel ufortable, feeling as though he had thoroughly been seen through. All he knew was that he had to keep his viable presence at minimum so he wouldn''t get Lin Jingxie in trouble.


    Master Lin suddenly felt a twisting heart-wrenching pain in his chest when he soon realised who this boy looked like. The boy was an exact replica of the emperor himself which reminded him of the conversation he had with Prince Anzhie a week ago. The prince had been looking for a concubine to the emperor who had suddenly disappeared from the pce almost two decades ago. It would safe to assume that this boy was that concubine''s child.


    Master Lin wasn''t stupid figuring out Prince An''s n. Why would a prince soon-to-be appointed crown prince, leave thefort of the pce in search of some concubine he didn''t even recall her name? Prince Anzhie was definitely making sure he eliminated the enemy before thepetition made his debut. "What is your name?" asked Master Lin trying to look as natural as possible.


    "My name is Qie Ranzhe and I apologize for the intrusion, it was all my idea and Lin Jingxie had nothing to do with it, I forced him," said Qie Ranzhe kowtowing before Master Lin taking Wen Qinxi by surprise. He didn''t expect Qie Ranzhe to suddenly take all the me sacrificing himself or maybe this was a ploy to pry something out of him. ''What the fuck does he want? More meals or more sleepovers, which one is it?'' thought Wen Qinxi giving him the side-eye.


    "Mm, I understand but where is your family, I am certain I haven''t heard your family name around here," asked Master Lin. He genuinely didn''t know any rtives of the Qie family residing in town or anywhere near town. Of course, he recognized the family name Qie from the Royal family but no one would piece it together as they wouldn''t associate a ruffian with the emperor.


    "I have no family Master Lin, I was rescued by a kind elderly woman when l was a newborn with only a name in my possession," replied Qie Ranzhe hoping to end this discussion as soon as possible as it pained him to think no one in this world wanted him. He was dumped in the garbage like trash without even a pacifier to console him. Qie Ranzhe was so immersed in his pain unconsciously clenching his fist with his nails digging deep into his palm to the point of drawing blood.


    "Rise," said Master Lin thinking, ''What the hell! I should be kneeling to you not the other way around!'' He could already see the emperorshing out at him for allowing his son to kowtow before him. Concealing his panic, Master Lin inquired further, "How many times?"


    "Huh?" asked Wen Qinxi unable toprehend the question.


    "You two obviously have done this numerous times so how many times have you done this behind my back?" asked Master Lin in a calm and collect manner but he didn''t expect Lin Jingxie to keep his mouth shut unwilling to divulge the details. ''What a stubborn child,'' he thought and was about to frighten him by mming the table with his fist when Lin Mingxu showed up now properly dressed.


    "Father h-,"said Lin Mingxu trying to save his brother from the manure punishment. Thest time he got that punishment, the smell took several baths to get rid off but Lin Mingxu abruptly fell silent when Lin Jingxie red at him with a ''watch your mouth'' expression.


    "Was it twice? Three times? Talk or I will donate you as aborer for the entire town next spring!" he threatened Lin Jingxie mming the table with a loud bang causing the three of them to flinch. Master Lin was as a terrifying as solders inbat. ''Fuck you don''t have to get all worked up. I will tell you,'' thought a cringing Wen Qinxi nervously raising one finger.


    "Ocee.....Twiiiii, no once it was definitely a one time thi-," said Wen Qinxi dragging his words while judging Master Lin''s reaction but was startled when the man threw a scroll at him which he ducked falling right into Qie Ranzhe''s arms like a girl running away from her livid father seeking protection from her boyfriend.


    "What are you hiding behind him for? I am angry because you aren''t telling me the truth, spill it!" said Master Linpletely losing his patience. He hated lies more than the crime thus his anger towards Lin Jingxie.


    Wen Qinxi returned to where he was standing before and cleared his throat loudly freighting bravery. "Its um, ah I think," he said before counting in a loud whisper, "one, two, three...eight.....twelve. Give or take fifteen times," with thest part said hesitantly because even he wasn''t sure how many times Qie Ranzhe snuck into his room.


    "Is that why you want to build a shelter? Are you dressing up like a woman embarrassing me all over town to help him?" asked Master Lin pointing at Qie Ranzhe who was in the dark about all of this. He gazed in Lin Jingxie''s direction but the man didn''t spare him a single nce as he exined himself to his father.


    A warm feeling melted Qie Ranzhe''s tangled icy heart with his eyes fixed on the second person who had ever shown him any kind of care. He couldn''t help but wander why Lin Jingxie was doing this, what did he want? He didn''t have any money nor status so what did this guy he almost murdered in cold blood do all this for?


    "Give me all the money you made," said Master Lin massaging in between his brows in frustration. The whole town was talking about how elegant and graceful Lin Jingxie is and how he could easily pass as a girl. Such a troublesome issue was all those old farts could talk about when he attended a meeting at the governor''s office.


    "I only made half of what we need," said Wen Qinxi cing the bag in front of Master Lin.


    "From now on you don''t have to perform anymore. I will make do with what you have. You really are something else. Do you know Master Sun has been following me around asking me if I canpromise and have you and Sun Haoran married? Don''t you dare wear a dress ever again, do you hear me?!"


    ''Aish.....men are so annoying, they will get horny over anything wearing a skirt disregarding what lies beneath.'' thought Wen Qinxi holding his grumbling stomach secretly hoping Master Lin didn''t n on starving them to death.

 Chapter 27: First World: Boy Crush

    Chapter 27: First World: Boy Crush


    A handsome face always trumps punishment especially if that gorgeous face is a novice. In this case, it was Qie Ranzhe''s face that got the two Lin boys out of trouble. Master Lin had itchy fingers and wanted to severely punish his eldest son for lying but faced with such an esteemed guest, he couldn''t bring himself to do so. Even if he could, his wife would have scolded him as she took a liking to Qie Ranzhe which was inching closer to an obsession.


    When sheid eyes on him, Madam Lin was mesmerised pinching his cheeks like an old aunty. "If only I had a little girl, aiyo....l would dly betrothal her to you. Oh, what the heck, Jin-er kind of looks like a girl if we dress him up, wil-," she yammered on when Master Lin suddenly interrupted her with a loud fake cough while blood drained from Wen Qinxi face thinking, ''What the fuck does she think this is, a danmei?''


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t say anything responding with a smile while Lin Mingxu red at him as though he was the one who had made such a ridiculous suggestion. "Ahem.....let''s head over for dinner, I bet our guest is hungry," said Master Lin with his hands behind his back leading the way. This line of conversing was heading in a pretty weird direction and if he hadn''t stopped it, who knows what his wife might pressure his son to do.


    Dinner was pretty interesting that night with Qie Ranzhe being spoilt so much by Madam Lin, she even went as far as neglecting her husband adding food only in Qie Ranzhe''s bowl. Wen Qinxi was so envious of Qie Ranzhe''s protagonist halo that shone so bright when the need arose. He was pretty sure if Master Lin wasn''tmitted to building that shelter, they would have moved Qie Ranzhe in and even gave him a room better than his own.


    Show and tell finally ended, that is only when Madam Lin was forcibly dragged away by her husband. If it was up to her they would have pulled an all-nighter hanging out with Qie Ranzhe. Nothing short of that shelter was going to make Qie Ranzhe vacate his bed. After dinner, the boys took turns to bath with Wen Qinxi being thest one. When he was done, he found Qie Ranzhe sitting on the edge of the bed as though waiting for him. Wen Qinxi walked over to the cupboard to take out some fresh pairs of undergarments to sleep in when Qie Ranzhe finally spoke his mind.


    "Why are you doing this?" he asked with his hands tightly clenching the side of the canopy bed. He hadn''t had the chance to ask this question ever since he found out that Lin Jingxie was performing just to get a roof over his head. He tried to track back in his memory, trying to figure out what he could have done to deserve such treatment from Lin Jingxie and couldn''t find anything worth mentioning. They had been rivals ever since they met so why the sudden change? Was it all because of the near-death experience?


    Wen Qinxi looked at him through his peripheral viewpletely aware of what he was talking about but chose to y the fool. "What are you talking about? Stop babbling and wear this," he replied trying to divert Qie Ranzhe''s attention. What was he supposed to say anyway? ''Hey, you are my boss stuck in a game and I am looking for ways to make you win the game so I can get paid.'' If he said anything close to that it would sound so insincere and selfish. If he told him he was doing it out of the kindness of his heart, that would be a lie too so he chose to run the other way but he didn''t ount for Qie Ranzhe''s stubborn nature.


    "It''s been a long day, change and get some rest," said Wen Qinxi who was behind the folding screen and was about to put on his top when something unexpected happened. Like a silent wind, Qie Ranzhe suddenly appeared behind the folding screen grasping a shirtless Lin Jingxie at either side of his shoulders and pressed him against the wall. The sudden intrusion had Wen Qinxi''s heart pounding against his chest unable to decern whether it was fear or excitement which made him frown gazing at Qie Ranzhe with a deadly stare.


    "I don''t have anything of importance and nothing in this world is for free so why are you doing this?" asked Qie Ranzhe with a slight tremble at his fingertips. It wasn''t out of anger but anxiety, anxious to know the answer. "Speak!" he said now growing impatient as he wanted to get as far away from Lin Jingxie as possible. In their closeness, he caught a whiff of freshvender scent on Lin Jingxie''s body which had him dangerously craving for more, rousing his curiosity. His line of sight fell upon Lin Jingxie''s pearl jade sturdy chest with a few water droplets streaming down to his abdomen which suddenly had him parched rousing a docile hormonal beast.


    ''Fuck!'' thought Qie Ranzhe trying to pull himself back to reality. The longer he hung out with Lin Jingxie the more apparent it became that he didn''t want to be Lin Jingxie''s friend or sworn brother. He wanted something entirely different and didn''t have the confidence to expose himself otherwise he might lose Lin Jingxie forever.


    Wen Qinxi freed himself from Qie Ranzhe''s grasp and walked away putting on his top, all nonchnt as though nothing had happened. "Well since you insist then l will tell you what I want from you," he said settling down as he poured out some tea, "I want you to be powerful, so powerful that no one would ever look down on you." He ced the cup with steaming tea at the opposite end of the table and gestured with his hand for Qie Ranzhe to sit. ''Hopefully, you can fall for my bullshit because l don''t,'' he thought scorning himself foring up with a weak excuse.


    Qie Ranzhe sat opposite him and asked, "What do you get out it?" gracefully swirling the cup in his hands.


    "Protection, of course, though I kind of assumed that you and I had graduated from a utility to mutual friendship," replied Wen Qinxi crossing his fingers under the table hoping the boy would buy his nonsense. Qie Ranzhe didn''t understand itpletely but as long as Lin Jingxie was by his side, he didn''t care. ''If friendship is all you can offer then l ept, for now,'' thought Qie Ranzhe sipping his tea with a slight nod indicating eptance.


    Only then did Wen Qinxi noticed the self-harm wound on Qie Ranzhe''s palm, he must have been clenching his fist so tight to leave such damage. He stood up and grabbed the medical kit he kept in his room for emergency especially after that beating he got from Qie Ranzhe''s boys when they first met in the game. He sat close to him sanitising the wound before asking, "How did this happen?" Their heads were in such proximity that Qie Ranzhe could literary count theshes on Lin Jingxie''s dreamy eyes.


    He gulped before asking a sensitive question that had Lin Jingxie choking on his own saliva. "Do you feel disdain over boys crushing on you like Sun Huxian today? Forgive me for asking but you even threatened him with a sword which you don''t even know how to use. Was it too appalling?" asked Qie Ranzhe recalling how terrifying Lin Jingxie looked in that tent.


    Wen Qinxi coughed a few times while wrapping his palm in a bandage before responding. "No, that was just Sun Huxian, normally I wouldn''t reject that harshly a guy expressing his feelings but that guy is such a fuckin bully. He''s not allowed to like me. Why would I mind if a guy finds me enchanting? I am fuckin handsome so I get it though generally speaking, I would most definitely reject them. I have a specific type,"


    "And what type is that?" asked a curious Qie Ranzhe fighting the urge to reach out and touch his face.


    "The type with boobs, that''s my type," replied the pervy Wen Qinxi envisioning the type of girl that would be the future mother of his children.


    Qie Ranzhe nced at the daydreaming Lin Jingxie thinking, ''You just haven''t met one who can move you enough to bend you to their own will. I have all the time in the world to make you dependant on me and by the time you realise it, it would be toote.''

 Chapter 28: First World: King-Sized Bed For Qie Ran

    Chapter 28: First World: King-Sized Bed For Qie Ran


    With grand motivation, Master Lin went hard at work supervising the construction of the boys'' shelter without sparing any expense. He made sure that this house would meet the emperor''s standards just in case he ever found out that the prince grew up in his hometown. He built fivemon rooms that could fit two boys leaving extra space just in case the group of boys expanded. As for Qie Ranzhe''s room, it was designed to fit a prince with the best of everything.


    When Wen Qinxi saw it, he couldn''t help but be envious. This room was way better than his with an even morefortable king-size bed. ''Why the fuck does he need a king-size bed for?'' thought Wen Qinxi lying on it making snow angels with his four limbs. "Jin! Get off Qie Ranzhe''s bed!" yelled Master Lin effectively chasing his son off.


    "Makes me wonder which one of us is your son between me and Qie Ranzhe?" sneered Wen Qinxi dashing out in time before a scroll was thrown in his direction. Today was the day the boys were moving in and the whole town had made such a grand affair celebrating as though it was new years.


    Wen Qinxi decided to slip away as he had more important matters to attend to which was collecting Qie Ranzhe''s sword. It pained him each time he saw him practise with a wooden sword like a ten-year-old. Though his skill was top-notch, that wooden sword might reduce his favorability points with Zhao Huangzhi so it had to go.


    It was time to gift Qie Ranzhe with his first big boy toy. ''Don''t you think you are messing with the plot a bit?'' asked Jolie as Wen Qinxi walked over to the expert ironsmith Master Lin had rmended. When he had mentioned it to Master Lin, the man eagerly gave him more money to add on and buy the best sword the ironsmith could craft.


    ''I heard you clearly before, this the fourth time you are asking me this question. He has great potential and deserves a great sword to practice with. Once the female lead gives him the legendary Hei An Zhi then he can swap it out. Quit worrying, I will tell him I am just lending him this sword,'' replied Wen Qinxi as he entered the shop forgetting he had engraved the sword with Qie Ranzhe''s name.


    ''Sure, whatever you say you are the boss,'' said Jolie in a dispirited tone but in actuality, it was already counting its winnings against Hei Bao and Xia Bai with an inner evilugh.


    The ironsmith excitedly weed Wen Qi ready to show off the masterpiece he had made for young master Lin. The young man had been extremely fickle with a lot of requirements but his nit-picky details had allowed this ironsmith to produce one of his best creations. The man ced the case on the counter allowing the young master to open it for himself.


    When he opened the case, Wen Qinxi unsheathed the sword while having a massive freak out with teary eyes. He was dazzled by the slender devilishly sharp sword which was azure around its edges with a ck fuller engraved with Qie Ranzhe''s name characters. The cross-guard was shaped like a blue phoenix with its wings spread out as though soaring into the sky and the grip blend with blue and ck. Wen Qinxi was so thrilled his face flushed in excitement. In his hand, he was holding something he only saw in games and anime but now it was tangible shimmering under the sun rays.


    He only sheathed it back into its scabbard after the initial excitement wore off. Wen Qinxi could already imagine Qie Ranzhe dressed in ck noble garments holding this sword while ying his enemies. He carefully ced it back into the case and had just shut it when he felt something warm and tingly on his neck. "What are you doing?" said a charming deep voice ever so familiar to him.


    The hairs at the back of his neck rose in fright as he muttered, "Fuck!" while his entire body was frozen stiff. A startled Wen Qinxi jumped over the counter while grabbing the case ultimately hiding it behind his back. Qie Ranzhe didn''t expect that kind of reaction and so scowled curious about what Lin Jingxie was hiding. ''The fuck! Is he getting a gift for someone he doesn''t want me to know about?'' he thought leaning in over the counter gazing at him.


    "How did you know that I was here? Wear a fucking bell or something, you almost gave me a heart attack," said Wen Qinxi shoving the case on the shelf behind him. Well, that was a good question. Why was Qie Ranzhe here? He had been at the back of the crowd at the grand opening of their new home patiently waiting for Lin Jingxie to appear but the ceremony started and he still hadn''t made an appearance.


    Actually, he only showed up for that ceremony because he was anticipating to see Lin Jingxie but was disappointed when he didn''t see him. It only took a re to make Lin Mingxu spill the beans informing him where he was but he didn''t expect him to be all secretive hiding some gift he made for someone.


    "Lin Mingxu told me," he said tilting to the side trying to see what Lin Jingxie was hiding, "What''s that?"


    "It''s nothing you don''t have to worry about it," replied Wen Qinxi hiding it deeper into the shelf.


    Qie Ranzhe felt an inexplicable pain in the pit of his stomach while unconsciously clenching his fist guzzling down a tank of pure vinegar. ''I know he doesn''t like me but why does it fuckin hurt?'' he thought before turning to walk out with an expressionless face. "Sorry to disturb you then. I will take my leave now," he said before walking out stomping his feet leaving behind a confused Wen Qinxi and ironsmith.

 Chapter 29: First World: Eating Candy By The Riverside

    Chapter 29: First World: Eating Candy By The Riverside


    Watching Qie Ranzhe storming out of the shop in a terrible mood left Wen Qinxi speechless. "What the heck is he angry about?" said Wen Qinxi shaking his head while writing down an address and instructions, "May you please have someone deliver this to the written address and make sure they tell Manchu to ce it in Qie Ranzhe''s room? So sorry to trouble you like this."


    "It would be my pleasure, Young Master Lin. I will personally handle it and you can tend to your friend he seems upset," replied the ironsmith taking the note from him with a warm smile on his face. He didn''t mind delivering the sword especially after making so much money.


    Wen Qinxi bid him farewell and ran after the miniature bull roaming the streets in anger. He found the sourpuss kicking an innocent trash can venting out his anger. ''What the fuck is wrong with him?'' thought Wen Qinxi edging closer to him while scratching his head in awe. He thought they were getting along just fine so why did Qie Ranzhe suddenly get angry? Wen Qinxi had to admit, his boss was extremely fickle with childlike mannerisms.


    "Let me guess, you are imagining my face on that trash can, aren''t you?" said Wen Qinxi draping his arm around Qie Ranzhe''s shoulders just like best buddies but Qie Ranzhe shrugged his arm off and walked away without saying a word. ''Are you fuckin serious right now?'' thought Wen Qinxi while contemting on whether to follow him or not. He wasn''t up to dealing with a moody teenager but also didn''t want anything to go wrongpelling him to coax his childish boss.


    "Ahhh fuck it," he said running after Qie Ranzhe''s disappearing figure. He only managed to catch up with him after a while screaming in his mind, ''Curse those damn long legs of yours Qie Ranzhe!'' Wen Qinxi stood in front of him walking backwards with a nervous smile trying to coax him. "What got you so worked huh? Look your cheeks are so puffed up like a pufferfish," said Wen Qinxi gently poking Qie Ranzhe''s cheeks. Qie Ranzhe paused in his tracks for a moment touching were Lin Jingxie''s finger had poked. How could he stay mad after that?


    Qie Ranzhe moved aside and walked past him hiding a barely noticeable smirk before saying, "I have been busy practising these past few days that you already found someone to give love tokens to?"


    ''Love token my ass you ungrateful brat,'' thought Wen Qinxi walking alongside Qie Ranzhe with a sly grin all over his face. He couldn''t wait to see Qie Ranzhe''s reaction when he finds out the gift was for him. Wen Qinxi could already imagine him grovelling begging for forgiveness as he himself basked in the rays of victory.


    "Hahaha love token, Qie Ranzhe you are getting better at making jokes. It''s um...ah something for Master Lin to thank him for the shelter. Did you check it out, my father really put a lot of work into it," nervously exined Wen Qinxi hoping to change the subject otherwise he might spoil the surprise just to pacify this jerk.


    "Then why were you hiding it from me?" asked Qie Ranzhe ambling along the path gazing straight into Lin Jingxie''s eyes.


    Being stared at like that by Qie Ranzhe felt like a colony of hungry ants prickling at his cheeks reddening his face with shifty eyes. Wen Qinxi scanned around looking for something to distract Qie Ranzhe''s attention otherwise the jig will be up right now. He noticed a vendor selling some bing tanghulu (candied hawthorn stick) and said, "Um...look some bing tanghulu, you want some?" while pointing in the direction of the street vendor with a beaming smile. Qie Ranzhe was about to refuse but was a tad bitte with Lin Jingxie flying over there in an instant.


    He was fully aware of what Lin Jingxie was trying to do but didn''t have the energy to keep pressing the truth out of him. He was just d that he got to spend time with him. Wen Qinxi scampered back holding two sticks before grabbing Qie Ranzhe''s wrist leading him out of the crowd, over the bridge and stopping at the riverside in the middle of town. Qie Ranzhe was stuck in a daze with his heart palpitating so fast staring at Lin Jingxie''s hand dragging him along that he didn''t even notice when they stopped running.


    "Here," said Wen Qinxi handing Qie Ranzhe both sticks before taking off his brocade boots and rolling up his pants with the intention of dipping his feet in the river while having a snack. This was one of the ways he passed time in the game, enjoying the beautiful scenery which was especially rxing. Once done he took one bing tanghulu back while saying, "Eat, big brother bought this for you but you are not eating," to a daydreaming Qie Ranzhe.


    Qie Ranzhe finally snapped out of his trance shaking his head refusing but Wen Qinxi didn''t ept defeat as he took one hawthorn berry off the stick and gently shoved it into his mouth. This took Qie Ranzhe by surprise, blushing to the roots of his hair as he chewed watching Lin Jingxie walk over to the riverside before sitting down dipping his toes in the cool water. ''If you are being like that, how am I supposed to hold back?'' he thought walking over to sit next to him.


    Wen Qinxi nced over at Qie Ranzhe who was drooping his head as though hiding something. He leaned closer tilting his head to see what Qie Ranzhe was hiding but all he saw was a flushed adorable face and couldn''t hold back teasing him. "Qie Ranzhe you must be feeling so hot, let this big brother cool you down," he said leaning so close to Qie Ranzhe''s face with a sly grin on his face. Qie Ranzhe flinched backwards looking at him when a few droplets of water were sprinkled in his face. "HAHAHAHAHAHA! Cooled down enough?" said Wen Qinxiughing his ass off at a rigid Qie Ranzhe tightly shutting his eyes.


    Qie Ranzhe wouldn''t be Qie Ranzhe if he didn''t retaliate and so he paid him back two-fold sprinkling water on his garments and face while chuckling. Wen Qinxi frowned saying, "You see this is why people don''t y pranks on you. You escte things, do you always have to be this excessive?" cupping his hand ning to ssh water back at him but his action abruptly stopped when he noticed a familiar gorgeous figure across theke.


    "Wow!" he said gawking at the person on the other side evoking Qie Ranzhe''s curiosity as he followed Lin Jingxie''s line of sight. ''Shit!'' cursed Qie Ranzhe with a resentful look on his face.

 Chapter 30: First World: Enchantress

    Chapter 30: First World: Enchantress


    A dazzling goddess had descended right in front of them with the cool breeze gently blowing her smooth silky hair like a morous scene in a movie. Her beautiful curves and wless porcin skin would have any man worshipping at her feet. She revealed an enchanting smile tucking away the stray strands of her hair as she spoke to a vendor who seemed bewitched to the point of giving her all his goods for free. Her elegant graceful mermaid-like motion made Wen Qinxi drool over her, he was truly envious of Mr boss man over here. ''Lucky bastard,'' thought Wen Qinxi rolling down his pants in a frenzy. He even staggered trying to put on his boots causing Qie Ranzhe to frown.


    Qie Ranzhe''s face was not looking good with all the blood drained from his face. For the second time today, he had guzzled down a year''s worth of vinegar and it wasn''t pleasant in the slightest. Watching Lin Jingxie excitedly put on his boots, Qie Ranzhe stood up and grasped his arm by the elbow asking, "Where do you think you are going? You brought me here but now you are just leaving?" as he nced at the tanghulu that had long been discarded by Lin Jingxie.


    "Who said I am leaving you here? Hurry up before she disappears," he replied handing Qie Ranzhe his boots before he darted off in the direction she had disappeared to. Qie Ranzhe nervously bit his lower lip while frantically putting on his boots before running after Lin Jingxie, even he had to admit she was drop-dead gorgeous. Though he seemed calm, Qie Ranzhe was panicking not sure how to handle this situation. If Lin Jingxie decided to make her his girl he wouldn''t be able to deal with it.


    The thought of that temptress kissing Lin Jingxie made him so angry that he couldn''t let that happen, the only way that was happening was over his dead body. Its either he was going to sabotage Lin Jingxie or take that seductress down. Lin Jingxie belonged to him and him alone.


    Back in the game room, Hei Bao walked in with two chilled energy drinks only to hear Xia Bai curse at the top of his voice, "Shit!" while looking at the screen.


    Hei Bao scurried there with a panicked face asking, "What, what happened?" cing the cans down before adjusting his sses scanning the screen.


    "Qie Ranzhe''s ckening value just shot up to 75% just like that. What the fuck did Wen Qinxi do?" he said pointing at the value that suddenly shot up like a mercury thermometer dipped in boiled water. The two men gazed at each other while initiating contact with Wen Qinxi in a panic. While all this was happening Jolie was enjoying the show wishing it had popcorn to go with it.


    Wen Qinxi who was tailing the beautiful goddess Zhao Huangzhi in stealth mode suddenly had his mind flooded by voices loudly scolding him forpromising the mission but he could barely make out what they were saying as they were both talking at the same time like a bunch of pre-school kids. ''How the fuck am I supposed to know what''s wrong when you are both talking at the same time?'' he scolded them in his mind trying to make sense of what they were saying. All he heard was ckening and fast.


    "Shut the fuck up Bao Bao, I will tell him," said Xia Bai cing his hand over Hei Bao''s mouth before exining to Wen Qinxi what had them all worked up, "Its Qie Ranzhe, his ckening value just shot up to 75% which is even higher than it was when you first entered the game. You better bring it down before it reaches a point of no return."


    Wen Qinxi stopped peeping at Zhao Huangzhi at a jewellery stall and peered at the teenager crouching down next to him behind the bushes. Qie Ranzhe was tightening his mouth looking sickly pale with a resentful aura surrounding him. ''What the fuck,'' said a flinching Wen Qi in his mind when he momentarily made eye contact with Qie Ranzhe''s dark ice-cold phoenix eyes. ''Oh, l see what the problem is. The male god is drinking a bucket load of vinegar. He might have misunderstood the situation. He thinks I like Zhao Huangzhi thus exining the ckening value. Let me fix it,'' he replied in his head while nudging Qie Ranzhe.


    "What do you think? You like her?" he asked leaning close in a whisper as they hid behind the bushes like a bunch of weird stalkers.


    An itchy pleasant feeling lingered where Lin Jingxie warm breath grazed Qie Ranzhe skin but that wasn''t enough to appease him answering in a cold tone, "Meh."


    "Meh what? That could be your future wife aren''t you supposed to be more excited instead your face looks like you just been hit by a truck. What more can l expect from a male god," he said still crouched down behind the bushes.


    "Wait, what do you mean by my future wife? You dragged me all the way here because you like her," said Qie Ranzhe with a quizzical expression. He couldn''t fathom what was going on in that smart brain of his.


    "Hahaha, I don''t stand a chance. Look at her she''s a fox and only a man like you can grab her attention," exined Wen Qinxi patting the guy''s shoulder twice while asking the boys in the game room for a report, ''Did it work?''


    "Phew, it drastically dropped to 10%, that was a close call," said Hei Bao before signing out.


    Hearing that, Qie Ranzhe was relieved with a suppressed smile on his face before asking, "Have you looked enough?" ready to continue with what they were doing before.


    Wen Qinxi was stunned speechless by Qie Ranzhe''s reaction, the guy seemed disinterested more eager to go back to eating tanghulu by the river bank. Something was definitely wrong with this picture. He couldn''t help but wonder if Qie Ranzhe was ate bloomer in this teenage body but the Qie Ranzhe he remembered from high school enjoyed thepany of teenage girls just as much as they loved his attention. Wen Qinxi crossed his fingers hoping Qie Ranzhe would get his act together otherwise they would never win this level.


    He was about to stand up so they could go back but they were suddenly drenched in dirty water that had been used to gut fish. "Scram you perverts! Busy peeping on girls, you need a proper beating!" yelled a giant woman angrily waving around a fish scaler.


    "Run," said Qie Ranzhe grabbing Lin Jingxie''s wrist before dragged him along running away from the crazydy. He could have easily dealt with her but cared more about holding Lin Jingxie''s hand taking advantage of the situation like a pro.


    "You cowards! You better run you fuckin pussies!" yelled the fishmonger struggling to chase after the two perverts. The sudden ruckus grasped Zhao Huangzhi''s attention as she followed the fishmonger''s line of sight. Her heart thumped when she saw a tall figure disappearing into the crowd.


    "Miss are you okay," asked Zhao Huangzhi''s servant out of concern for a dazed Zhao Huangzhi.


    "I am fine," she replied finally snapping out of her trance while looking back hoping to see him again. She couldn''t shake the feeling that she had finally met her match and could only hope to see him again.

 Chapter 31: First World: Gift or Love Token?

    Chapter 31: First World: Gift or Love Token?


    The appalling stench of rotting fish filled the kitchen just as Qie Ranzhe walked in with a beaming smile on his face. The smell was too unbearable with Machu''s face turning green while gagging covering his nose, "Ran-ge you can''t get into your new room smelling like this, the stench will linger," said Machu moving a few steps back. What shocked him the most was the indifference on Qie Ranzhe''s face as though he couldn''t smell it. He was happily smiling with the reeking odour emanating from his body.


    "Mm," replied Qie Ranzhe still in a trance recalling the euphoric feeling of holding Lin Jingxie''s hand. He yearned for more but had to restrain himself otherwise he would expose himself and not be able to do it again.


    "I had the boys prepare a warm bath for you. This Lin Jingxie really came through for us, didn''t he? I never thought I would ever have a warm bath my entire life," said Machu extremely grateful otherwise they would have spent another cold winter freezing to death.


    Qie Ranzhe gently smiled before saying, "Yes, he''s awesome, isn''t he? I am going to take a bath then we can all have dinner together," before exiting the kitchen heading for the bathroom. By the time he was done, Qie Ranzhe felt so refreshed though still grinning like a fool putting on the clothes Manchu had brought to him. He couldn''t stop himself from smiling even if he tried and it was all because of Lin Jingxie. What could he do to repay this man''s kindness? He just didn''t know.


    A long table was set in the dining room with the ability to amodate fifteen people. The room was nice and cool with eight boys sitting at the table patiently waiting for their older brother to arrive. As soon as he walked in, they were thrilled howling cheers at their elder brother for making this possible. Who could have thought they would have a home of their own with two meals a day andfortable beds. To them, Lin Jingxie was truly a blessing in disguise.


    "Ran-ge, big brother Jin really came through for us. The house is so warm and cosy and I get to have a hot bath every day," said one of the exuberant boys before mming the table in excitement.


    "No more excuses for some of you who hate bathing. No more using the icy cold river water as an excuse. I am talking about you Shuen," said Machu cing bowls of warm food in front of Qie Ranzhe. The boys broke down inughter while Shuen tried to exin himself.


    "Even Ran-ge''s food is different from ours. Young Master Jin really treats Ran-ge well, I wish I had a friend like him," said another boy looking up in a daze when he felt a painful p at the back of his head. "Ouch! What was that for?" he said with his brows knitted in a frown.


    "Don''t disrespect big brother Jin, if he was a girl he would have been your saozi (sister-inw) so stop making googly eyes while talking about him," said Shufen half-jokingly.


    Qie Ranzhe''s heart skipped a beat when he heard the word saozi and couldn''t hold back saying, "Who says he has to be a girl for you to call him saozi?" with his eyes half-open while cing a saucy rib in his mouth. Everyone including Machu froze in ce loss of words, they suddenly didn''t know how to react.


    "Um.....Ran-ge this.....," stuttered Manchu stupefied.


    "I like him but he doesn''t know so all of you better keep your fucking mouths shut," he spoke in a threatening tone without even looking up at them.


    "So the gift he gave you, is it a love token?" asked Xie Ruen who hadn''t said anything the entire time. Qie Ranzhe put down his chopsticks befuddled looking at Xie Ruen as though waiting for him to exin further but the boy was as quiet as a mouse with a downcast expression.


    Manchu could feel Qie Ranzhe''s patience running out and so continued from were Xie Ruen left off. "Oh, you haven''t gone to your room yet? An ironsmith delivered a gift for you earlier on. He said it was from young master Jin so I pl-," exined Machu before he was cut off by the sound of a chair scraping against the floor. Qie Ranzhe rushed out of the room with Machu following behind directing him on where to go because Qie Ranzhe didn''t know where to go.


    In a few strides, Qie Ranzhe had reached his new room but didn''t have time to admire the exquisite decor scanning around for the so-called gift. Machu pointed at a familiar beautifully carved wooden case lying on the table. The same case that he had seen earlier on in Lin Jingxie''s hands. His heart thumped hard against his chest as he got closer. He remembered how upset he had been when Lin Jin hid this case from him and even went as far as assuming Lin Jingxie had gotten the gift for his lover.


    His legs grew weak with a shiver coursing down his spine, he exhaled trying to calm himself down before slowly opening the case. With the case open a dumbstruck Qie Ranzhe traced the scabbard with the tip of his finger in admiration. This was the first gift he had ever received, a gift from the subject of his affection.


    He casually ced his fingers on his forehead with his elbow on the table partially covering his bloodshot eyes while letting out a mysterious low chuckle. "Don''t think you can escape me when you pull such a sentimental stunt," he said before picking up the sword.


    If Manchu said he wasn''t terrified, he would be lying through his teeth. In all the years he had been by Qie Ranzhe''s side, he had never seen him like this. The extreme obsession in his crystal clear eyes were a phenomena Machu had only seen when the guy was practising and now that same drive was aimed at Lin Jingxie. He silently lit a candle for Lin family as they would never have a grandchild from their eldest son.


    Qie Ranzhe stood up and unsheathed the sword beaming with excitement like a child unwrapping his gift on Christmas. Machu was awe-inspired basking in Qie Ranzhe''s glory, he looked like a fierce warrior as he swung the sword with ease. Each movement was flowing as graceful as a swan with potent strikes. Qie Ranzhe admired his gift tracing the engraved characters with his fingertip before sheathing it while chuckling in a low tone.


    "I am going to see your saozi," he said before disappearing into the night heading towards the Lin Mansion.


    Machu finally recovered from his daze yelling after him, "But it''ste!" His words fell on deaf ears as Qie Ranzhe had already disappeared.

 Chapter 32: First World: Permission To See Lin Jin

    Chapter 32: First World: Permission To See Lin Jin


    Date night is extremely crucial for any couple especially when you have troublesome kids and so the Lin couple were frolicking in the study with Madam Lin rewarding her husband for his charity work. She was messing around sitting in hisp pinching a grape between her plump lips trying to convince her husband to take a nibble and hopeful sneak in a sensual kiss in the process. Her seductive actions suddenly halted with both of them staring at the door.


    They could hear the servant preventing someone from entering the room but the intruder was persistent. Master Lin''s once sparkling eyes darkened, upset about being disturbed during their alone time that would havended him with a happy ending. "Who is brazen enough to disrupt me?" yelled Master Lin but he didn''t get a response. Instead, the door was pushed open as Qie Ranzhe slipped in past the servant and kowtowed before the couple.


    Madam Lin faced by that handsome face slid off her husband''sp with a radiant smile. "My precious inw is here, what a pleasant surprise. Don''t worry l am working on getting a daughter for you to marry, you just have to wait for her to grow up," she shamelessly confessed with an overjoyed look.


    "Qie Ranzhe slightly raised his head replying, "That won''t be necessary Madam Lin," with a barely noticeable smirk on his face. ''Why bother have a daughter when I already have your son,'' he thought to himself impatiently waiting to see Lin Jingxie again. A ck-jawed Master Lin couldn''t help but grumble finally understanding why his wife had been enthusiastic earlier.


    "Aiya.....so disappointing," she said pouting before pushing the me on Master Lin, "Why couldn''t you give me girls? I would have been showing off at those snobbish tea parties." Master Lin shook his head annoyed by Qie Ranzhe''s sudden appearance. The boy was already behaving arrogantly now how would he behave then when he learnt that he''s a prince?


    "I apologise for my disrespectful intrusion but I just had to thank you for everything you did for me and the boys. We now have a roof over our heads to shield us from the harsh winter. I am truly grateful. Thank you so much for showing love to a couple of children that have never experienced it before," he said with his forehead touching the floor. What they had done for him was something most people wouldn''t or couldn''t do, he was forever indebted to them.


    Madam Lin walked over to him with sorrowful eyes as she helped him up. "No need for this, we apologise for not noticing sooner. We are grateful to Lin Jingxie for bringing this up. No need to thank us just take care of each other, okay? Don''t hesitate to let us know if you need anything," she said as her maternal instincts kicked in while patting Qie Ranzhe''s head. Madam Lin went back to her husband''s side wiping away her tears proud of Lin Jingxie for being considerate.


    "On that topic, there is something else I would like to ask of you?" said Qie Ranzhe slightly nervous though he didn''t really need their permission, he was going to ask anyway.


    "Sure, speak," said Master Lin expecting him to ask for a stallion or new clothes, whatever it was he was prepared to give and take care of this little prince. The child had suffered despite his birthright.


    Qie Ranzhe kowtowed before them again making his request, "May you grant me permission to see Lin Jingxie?"


    Master Lin knitted his brows together thinking, ''You two have been seeing each other for a long time even sneaking into my house at night so why bother asking? Just carry on being friends,'' clearly misunderstanding what Qie Ranzhe meant and the brat didn''t even bother rifying.


    "You can see each other, no need to ask. Just stand up child, don''t kneel before us so much. Consider us your adopted parents," said Madam Lin while Qie Ranzhe stood up.


    Only then did Master Lin notice the sword Qie Ranzhe was holding, fascinated he asked, "Is that the sword Lin Jingxie designed? Let me see?" walking towards him to check out the masterpiece.


    He had thought Lin Jingxie was just going to design a simple generic sword but was gobsmacked when he unsheathed it. The man almost coughed out blood when he saw the magnificent piece of art. "Lin Jingxie designed this?" asked a disbelieving Master Lin. That brat had never gifted him with anything nice and yet he went as far as designing such an amazing sword for Qie Ranzhe. He couldn''t help but be envious while skillfully swinging the masterpiece.


    "Whenever you need to practice, you cane to me. We can have a friendly match amongst gentlemen," said Master Lin returning the sword to him, "You can go see Lin Jingxie, he is probably in his room." Thest sentence was said in a dismissive tone as he was extremely jealous and couldn''t look at that sword anymore. The longer he stared at it the more he wished they could exchange with his not so impressive one. It would be like exchanging a Toyota with a Porsche, the kid would never agree.


    Qie Ranzhe thanked them both before eagerly running off towards Lin Jingxie''s room but as soon as his figure disappeared, Master Lin began to throw a fit. "That brat has never made something for me his own father but Qie Ranzhe gets a beautiful sword,"ined Master Lin wishing he could punish Lin Jingxie.


    "Stopining darling, I am sure if you ask him, he will design one for you. Now stop messing around and y with me," she said sitting back on hisp with a coy smile.


    Master Lin grinned foolishly before saying, "But we aren''t making a baby. Two brats are enough," officially cock blocking himself.


    Madam Lin stood up storming out of the study yelling, "You are no fun!" with Master Lin following behind trying to coax her with no avail.


    ***


    While all this was happening in the study, Wen Qi and Lin Mingxu were spinning coins on the table out of boredom. The rules were that the yer would spin their coins simultaneously and who ever''s coin ttens on the table first, would be the loser. The punishment being flicked on the forehead. Actually, Wen Qinxi was a pro at this and suggested this game to flick Lin Mingxu to pass time.


    Lin Mingxu was already on his thirteen flick with a pinkish small bump protruding on his forehead unwilling to ept defeat. He wanted to y until he had won against Lin Jingxie at least once and thus carried on. "Seriously Mingxu, haven''t you had enough? Father will be mad at us if the bump on your forehead swells any further?"ined Wen Qinxi feeling exhausted. He had even tried helping him by intentionally throwing the game but Lin Mingxu just couldn''t win.


    "No, I want to win at least once.....ahhh shoot! I lost again," said Lin Mingxu before leaning forward to receive his fourteenth punishment when they were interrupted by a gentle knock on the door.


    The two brothers looked at each other frozen stiff anticipating it to be Master Lin but they hadpletely forgotten that their father never knocked. He usually burst in like a swat team on a drug raid breaking down the door numerous times. Lin Mingxu panickingly hid the coins and covered himself with the quilt while Wen Qinxi walked over to open the door.


    Wen Qinxi frowned when he saw Qie Ranzhe standing by his door thinking, ''What the fuck is he being all formal for? Just use the fuckin window dude.'' Wen Qinxi didn''t even have the chance to say anything before he was embraced tightly like a kid cuddling a stuffed bear. His entire body was enveloped by Qie Ranzhe to the point where he couldn''t breathe.


    "Thank you," whispered Qie Ranzhe with his head buried deep into Wen Qinxi''s neck while holding on tightly as though afraid to lose him.


    "What the fuck!" yelled Lin Mingxu dropping the quilt while standing behind Lin Jingxie witnessing the ambiguous scene. Unlike Lin Jingxie, Lin Mingxu was not dense and that hug was more than what men should do unless maybe in mourning. His eyes were enlightened finally seeing through Qie Ranzhe. The devious man had impure thoughts towards his brother.

 Chapter 33: First World: Hugs

    Chapter 33: First World: Hugs


    Hugs since ancient times have been a symbol of cherishing one another imitating the action of enclosing one in a hedge but because of the modern culture hugging amongst men has always been heckled as unmanly or weak. Hence Wen Qinxi''s first reaction was to push Qie Ranzhe away feeling ufortable hugging his boss. But he restrained himself and endured when he recalled the gift he had given Qie Ranzhe, this was probably his way of showing gratitude.


    In the game, Qie Ranzhe had lived a hard life with everything as real to him as the NPCs which also deterred Wen Qinxi from rejecting him. Plus once in a while, we all need someone to embrace us regardless of gender or size. Wen Qinxi just wished Zhao Huangzhi could just show up now so he didn''t have to hug this big bear. After the initial shock wore off, he wasn''t as unease as before though he wasn''t sure if Qie Ranzhe should have lingered this long tickling his neck especially when the man whispered earlier saying thank you.


    "What the Fuck!" yelled Lin Mingxu effectively separating the two with one annoyed by his yelling and the other ring at him like an angry beast that had been robbed of its dinner.


    "Seriously Ming-er, why are you yelling like that? You will get us into trouble," said Wen Qinxi pushing him back inside the room, "You want father to see that bump on your forehead? I am not going through that manure punishment because of you." Qie Ranzhe followed behind Lin Jingxie feeling dissatisfied while craving for more. That embrace opened his eyes to a whole new congenial mellow sensation which diffused from their point of contact spreading all over his body causing his heart to flutter. That particr feeling was addictive urging him to do it again.


    Lin Mingxu wanted to expose Qie Ranzhe but that threatening aura suppressed him into keeping his mouth shut. "Ming-er why don''t you go sleep early, Ran-ge and I have some matters to discuss," he said while tenderly soothing the reddish bump on Lin Mingxu''s forehead to ease the pain.


    "No Jin-ge let me stay with you tonight," said a mewling Lin Mingxu. He stooped as low as acting meng (cute) just as long as it chased off this big bad wolf. Lin Jingxie would have to drag him out of the room, that''s was the only way he was leaving. Nothing could shake his foundation, resolute in his decision.


    Wen Qinxi sighed while taking out a piece of paper from the chest by his bedside. He opened it slowly before unting it in front of Lin Mingxu as though waving a lollipop in front of a toddler. The drawing on the paper had been Wen Qinxi''s initial design for Qie Ranzhe''s sword but Lin Mingxu had taken a liking to it so he set it aside for bribery reasons though he didn''t expect to use it this early.


    Lin Mingxu had a sword gifted to him by his father which he practised with under the supervision of an expert swordsman but that sword was in no way as remarkable as the one designed by Lin Jingxie and he wanted it. With sparkling eyes, he followed the paper that was being unted in front of his face going as far as trying to snatch it. "Its all yours if you behave. Now be good and go to bed otherwise I will chew up this piece of paper and swallow it right now," said Wen Qinxi moving the paper closer to his mouth.


    The boy didn''t want to leave his brother in the clutches of an alpha but that sword was all he could dream about ever since he saw the design. He nced over at Qie Ranzhe who had a sly grin on his face before ncing back at the paper with an arching heart. "Wait, wait, wait....," he said seizing Lin Jingxie''s wrist that was inching closer and closer, "I will listen just don''t hurt my precious baby," with a pained expression.


    "Good boy, run along before I change my mind," said Wen Qinxi with a victorious grin which he would regret in the future. Lin Mingxu ran as fast as a storm thinking, ''Watch your back Qie Ranzhe, you might have won the battle but I haven''t lost the war.''


    Qie Ranzhe closed the door behind him and just like a greedy pup he shamelessly went in for another hug but Wen Qinxi blocked his path with an outstretched hand. "No need to thank me again," before strutting past him towards the table. Qie Ranzhe followed behind him struggling to repress the brewing feelings with a fixed smile on his face.


    "Is there anything you want to say to me?" asked Wen Qinxi ready to enjoy his well-deserved gloating moment. ''Hotheads like Qie Ranzhe deserve to have things rubbed in their faces,'' he thought with his arms on the table wearing a cunning smile while leaning forward towards Qie Ranzhe.


    Faced with such a handsome face taking great pleasure in his atonement, Qie Ranzhe''s cheeks felt so hot. He was slightly flushed which Wen Qinxi assumed to be due to embarrassment. ''Fuck! If only people in the office knew we have a bashful CEO,'' thought Wen Qinxi making a decision to spare this overbearing man who looked cute while blushing.


    ''Your fucking fangirls would be screaming their eardrums off if they saw you blush like that,'' he thought leaning back before sincerely asking, "Did you like it?"


    Qie Ranzhe shook his head in agreement while cing the sword on the table, "Mm, I love it. Thank you."


    Wen Qinxi stood up and sat next to him reducing the distance between them that their shoulders were practically rubbing against each other. ''You''re ying with fire Jin-ge,'' thought Qie Ranzhe watching Lin Jingxie unsheath the sword with a focused expression. He couldn''t think of anything else gazing at Lin Jingxie like a lovesick puppy ogling at a defenceless bone. If it weren''t for his vignce, Qie Ranzhe would have been caught staring as Lin Jingxie abruptly turned to face him while asking, "Have you named it yet?"


    Qie Ranzhe shifted his eyes looking at the sword while scolding himself internally vowing to get a portrait of Lin Jingxie so he can ogle at it to his heart''s content. "Uhm not yet, I wanted you to help me with that," he said supporting his tilted head with his hand and his elbow on the table.


    "How about Zhifa zhe (the enforcer)?" suggested Wen Qinxi with a brooding countenance, "Or maybe Sishen (grim reaper)."


    "Whichever one you like," said a mesmerised Qie Ranzhe focusing on Lin Jingxie rather than his new toy.


    "Okay, let me sleep on it. By the way, this is on loan till you get a better one," he said sheathing the sword back before handing it to him. He stood up to change his clothes as Qie Ranzhe nodded in agreement knowing too well that there was no way he was going to let go of that sword even if he found one ten times better. The sword had his freaking name on it for heaven sake.


    While Lin Jingxie was changing behind the folding screen, Qie Ranzhe took advantage swiftly taking off his boots before jumping into bed while covering himself with the quilt pretending to be asleep. When Wen Qinxi emerged from behind the folding screen this is what he saw. A bulging bundled up furball under his quilt as quiet as a mouse. He couldn''t believe this idiot actually thought he was going to sleep here and so he reprimanded Qie Ranzhe.


    "Fuck this! Qie Ranzhe get up! You have a king-size bed at the shelter, a bed even morefortable than mine!" trying to remove the quilt but he was fooling himself because Qie Ranzhe was much stronger than him tiring him out till he gave in. With a puffed up chest, hey next to him expressing his grievances with no avail.


    "One more night I promise," said Qie Ranzhe inching closer to him faced with Lin Jingxie''s back.


    "Fine in exchange I get to have your king-sized bed all to myself for two night," said Wen Qinxi turning to face him with a crafty smirk. He really loved Qie Ranzhe''s new bed, it was like sleeping on a fluffy cloud.


    Wen Qinxi suddenly leaned in closer sniffing an enticing scenting from Qie Ranzhe while crossing the boundary with innocent intentions. He had smelt it when Qie Ranzhe hugged him the first time and was now curious. The teenager was so close that Qie Ran could count Lin Jingxie''sshes if he wanted too but that was the least of his concerns. His back stiffened with sweaty palms while cursing out of his mind. ''Fuck is he trying to kill me?'' thought Qie Ranzhe before Lin Jingxie retreated back.


    "What did you use?" asked a curious Wen Qinxi. He was genuinely asking wondering if some girl had gifted Qie Ranzhe with a fragrance or something. He didn''t care if it was from a girl as long as Qie Ranzhemitted himself to Zhao Huangzhi when she finally made her debut. ''You can have your fucking harem, no judgement here,'' thought Wen Qinxi apuding the handsome yboy but soon fell in disappointment when he found out where the scent came from.


    "It was in the bathroom, your mother gave us some fragranced bars. The whole shelter smelt like flowers today," he replied finally calming his fluttering heart.


    "You always fucking get the good stuff. You know l am stuck with fuckingvender yet you are bathing in roses. So unfair," said Wen Qinxi before turning around with his back facing Qie Ranzhe again.


    A disappointed Qie Ranzhe didn''t say anything for a long time fighting off the urge to cuddle Lin Jingxie. "I can give it to you," said Qie Ranzhe but only got a snore in response. With a warm smile, he turned to lie on his back saying, "I will give you everything I own as long as you stay by my side."

 Chapter 34: First World: Babysitting Big Babies

    Chapter 34: First World: Babysitting Big Babies


    They say time moves slowly when you are bored such is the case for Wen Qinxi as winter passed by restraining his movements. Winter was actually more eventful than he was willing to admit. He took advantage of Qie Ranzhe''s king-sizedfortable bed numerous times iming payment for tutoring all the boys especially Qie Ranzhe. He didn''t want him mocked in the future when he entered the pce and thus taught him various things since that was his skill.


    Other than the tutoring, Qie Ranzhe trained every day at the Lin Mansion alongside Lin Mingxu though they seemed to sh heads all the time. Lin Mingxu trained so hard just to win at least once against Qie Ranzhe but it was all pointless. Qie Ranzhe was like an undefeated powerful hybrid constantly winning against him and it only got worse as the training progressed. Even Master Lin struggled to beat Qie Ranzhe narrowly iming victory each time but that wasn''t the most frustrating part. Master Lin noticed a pattern that was only after it happened the fourth.


    The first time it urred was when Lin Mingxu''s instructor who had been training him since he was five years old abruptly quit out of blue. This happened three more times until Master Lin decided to investigate. It turns out whenever Lin Jingxie was around which rarely happened, Qie Ranzhe would ruthlessly subdue the trainer as though unting his skills like a teenager showing off in front of his crush. Of course, Master Lin didn''t know that''s what Qie Ranzhe was doing but all he knew is that it had something to do with Lin Jingxie so he banned his son from showing his face during practice.


    Since Qie Ranzhe couldn''t show off anymore, he resorted to a ssic sympathy tactic which was very childish if you ask me. He would run over to Lin Jingxie after training with the silliest of wounds just so that he could be close to him which Lin Mingxu retaliated by showing off even more terrible wounds left by Qie Ranzhe while training. Such was Wen Qinxi''s life, tending to two big babies.


    He was so fed up constantly annoying Jolie asking the same question over and over again. Wen Qinxi wanted to know when Qie Ranzhe can finally meet up with the goddess Zhuo Huangzhi so he can relieve himself of babysitting the clingy CEO. The day he had been looking forward too finally arrived with a conventional ''save the damsel in distress'' stunt and all he had to do was lead Qie Ranzhe in the right direction.


    Wen Qinxi swaggered out of the mansion that day with a spring in his step while grinning from ear to ear. But he hadn''t gone far when he heard Lin Mingxu calling after him requesting they should go together. Wen Qinxi didn''t even mind bringing him along as he was too happy to care. They headed into the forest because that''s were Jolie had said Qie Ranzhe would be. When they got there, Qie Ranzhe was in the middle of giving some tips to Machu and the rest of the boys in hand to handbat.


    Machu was in the middle with Qie Ranzhe while the rest of them circled around forming a ring. Wen Qinxi watched Qie Ranzhe from afar unwilling to disturb their training. These boys needed this training which would be useful in the future when their older brother would be officially recognised as a prince. He noticed that Qie Ranzhe had somehow grown taller as he had to look down on Machu while speaking to him. It was incredible how a bnced diet had activated a growth spurt in Qie Ranzhe making Wen Qinxi almost one head shorter than him.


    ''Even in fucking game you still shine,'' sneered Wen Qinxi patiently waiting for him to finish. Qie Ranzhe was so immersed in his tutorial that he only noticed Lin Jingxie when Machu pointed at him. He nced over at Lin Jingxie watching that handsome figure dazzling under the sunlight. Qie Ranzhe grinned as Lin Jingxie waved at him while the boys silently whispered to each other. Only Lin Mingxu noticed the atmosphere wasn''t right. He had wanted to tell Lin Jingxie but Qie Ranzhe threatened to make his life difficult during training and so he gave up on the idea as he was fully aware of what Qie Ranzhe was capable of.


    Qie Ranzhe finished exining and had Manchue at him one more time but that didn''t end well for him as Qie Ranzhe''s showing off spirit suddenly made itseback. He basically became a bit more aggressive than usual taking him down in one go with Machu painfully tumbling to the ground. As his body mmed to the ground with a loud thud, the boys cringed backwards lighting a candle for their second inmand hoping Qie Ranzhe would spare him. In a split second, Qie Ranzhe had Machu in a sharpshooter twisting his leg with minimum force but his opponent was in excruciating pain with the veins on his flushed face bulging out. "Ran-ge I yield, fuck!" said Machu with an ugly expression before Qie Ranzhe released him.


    Qie Ranzhe helped him up while checking if he was okay but Machu stopped him. "Aiyo...you almost broke my leg," he said while rubbing his sore muscles, "Though I wouldn''t mind losing it if it gets you saozi." Thest part was said in a whisper as a smirk appeared on Qie Ran''s face.


    He patted Machu''s back twice while saying, "You are a good man Machu. Today you get fifty per cent of my dinner," before strutting towards Lin Jingxie gently biting his lower lip. The way he was behaving would have you think he was having a cherry blossom moment like in the movies. Qie Ranzhe stopped right in front of Lin Jingxie as he leaned down whispering, "Was I cool just now?"


    ''Fuck! his so full of himself,'' thought Wen Qinxi leaning backwards to create some distance between them. He suddenly felt a lingering tingling sensation were Qie Ranzhe''s warm breathe had grazed his skin. ''Jolie, let''s get this protagonist his leadingdy before I kill him with my bare hands,'' he instructed the system.


    ''Sureeeee, let''s do that,'' replied Jolie fighting off the urge tough at him.

 Chapter 35: First World: He Likes Me Too

    Chapter 35: First World: He Likes Me Too


    Sometimes all a man needs is a woman to keep him in check, at least that''s what Wen Qinxi thought faced by the lively tall jerk, Qie Ranzhe. He couldn''t help but wonder if Qie Ranzhe had been this troublesome in high school but they weren''t close enough for him to makeparisons. Wen Qinxi just had to make up an excuse to get him to the part of the forest where Zhao Huangzhi was currently caught in a trap but couldn''te up with a good excuse blurting out someme reason.


    "Qie Ranzhe would you like toe with me to the east side of the forest? I need to.....ah....pick some dragon fruit? I am craving them," said Wen Qinxi lying through his teeth thinking, ''If he falls for that bullshit then I am a fucking cat.''


    Qie Ranzhe gazed into his shifty crystal clear eyes keenly observing him. "Don''t you have servants for that? If you want some alone time with me just say so," he teased Lin Jingxie with a mischievous look on his face.


    "Yeah, yeah sure I want to spend more time with you. Let''s go," he said grabbing Qie Ranzhe''s elbow leading him forward. ''Let''s go before someone steals your princess,'' thought Wen Qinxi picking up his pace but his path was soon blocked by Lin Mingxu with a wan visage.


    "Dage let mee with you," said Lin Mingxu ncing over at the sly big bad wolf standing behind Lin Jingxie. He was terrified of those empty cold eyes, eyes as dark as the deepest part of ake that sent shivers down his spine. But for his brother''s sake, he toughened up, standing his ground.


    Wen Qinxi pulled the troublesome child by hand getting him out of the way. If he brought Lin Mingxu along it might mess up his n thus he had to ditch the kid. "Be good and stay here with Machu. I will be right back," he said continuing the sentence in his mind, ''hopefully by myself while this bad boy spends time with his girlfriend.''


    Lin Mingxu wanted to retort but Lin Jingxie''s stern expression deterred him. His ns had never been sessful and everything he tried only got these two closer. It was time to execute operation ''find a new saozi'' so as to sink Qie Ranzhe''s ship and force him to abandon hope. Lin Mingxu was fairly aware of the type of girl Lin Jingxie liked, all he had to do now was convince Madam Lin which would make his n fall into ce. ''Hahaha your days are fucking numbered Qie Ranzhe,'' he thought stepping aside to let them through.


    "I will make you a midnight snack tonight," said Wen Qinxi seeing how upset Lin Mingxu was. He looked just like a toddler watching their parent leave the house with teary eyes. Yep, Wen Qinxi was a sucker for tears, let''s just hope Qie Ranzhe wouldn''t figure that out otherwise it would be weird to watch him tear up all the time just to get Lin Jingxie''s attention.


    Wen Qinxi led the way with Jolie''s guidance but seeing how remote the part of the forest was, he couldn''t help but ask, ''Why is Zhao Huangzhi all the way here anyway? This is just too isted for ady to be out here all by herself?'' he asked Jolie while jumping over a protruding root.


    ''How am supposed to fuckin know what goes on in that pretty head of hers,'' replied the irritated system. It hoped Zhao Huangzhi wouldn''t screw things up for it, it had money on the line.


    ''Geez, did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed today? What beef do you have with Zhao Huangzhi?'' he asked as they approached a convenient for Qie Ranzhe to hear Zhao Huangzhi shout for help.


    ''You think too much boss. Leave him here and everything will go as nned,'' said the system displeased by the arrangement.


    ''Okay,'' he replied to Jolie while turning around to face Qie Ranzhe who was beaming as though he had just won first ce. ''Why is fuckin smiling like that?'' thought Wen Qinxi scrutinising his face.


    Qie Ranzhe was just to happy spending time with Lin Jingxie that he let his emotions slip while ogling at him. The fact that his crush wanted to spend time with him made Qie Ranzhe feel a heart-warming sensation all over his chest. His wayward brain actually deduced that maybe Lin Jingxie liked him too causing his heart to skip a beat.


    Wen Qinxi didn''t feel like questioning him as he wanted Qie Ranzhe in a great mood before meeting up with Zhao Huangzhi. He moved closer straightening Qie Ranzhe''s clothes in a motherly way. The intimate action had a parched Qie Ranzhe gulping as he stepped forward closing the gap while nervously rubbing his balled-up fist with his thumb. His mind was racing with overwhelming thoughts mulling over whether he should make a move and kiss Lin Jingxie first or not. He had no idea a fruit run could lead to this kind of situation.


    The youth stretched out his hand towards Qie Ranzhe''s coiffured hair and stroked it a couple of times effectively taming some stray strands. Qie Ranzhe froze in ce as feel-good hormones coursed through his veins exciting each nerve in his body. This kind of stimtion had him throwing all rationality out the window inching closer to Lin Jingxie''s enchanting face. Just as he brazenly leaned down, Wen Qinxi suddenly turned awaypletely oblivious of Qie Ranzhe''s intentions.


    "Nice, just wait here for me, I will be right back," said Wen Qinxi before excitedly running off leaving behind a puzzled Qie Ranzhe. Wen Qinxi ran so far away only stopping when he reached the edge of the small hill near the river. "Jolie, you sure this is going to work?" asked Wen Qinxi struggling to catch his breath with both his hands on his lower back breathing heavily.


    "No worries boss everything will go ording to n," replied Jolie while provoking a nearby sounder of wild boars as this system never fucked around when it came to money.

 Chapter 36: First World: I Will Make You Mine

    Chapter 36: First World: I Will Make You Mine


    The anxiety one feels when their date suddenly ditches them is what Qie Ranzhe was feeling as he paced back and forth impatiently waiting for Lin Jingxie tooe back. He couldn''t help but wonder if he had taken things too far causing Lin Jingxie to flee from him. Qie Ranzhe scratched his head constantly looking in the direction he had run off to contemting on whether to follow him or not. He really felt like punching himself for being too brazen earlier. Lin Jingxie was like a cat that had to be coaxed into liking you and he had just cornered that cat causing it to flee.


    Qie Ranzhe felt so stupid deciding to clear things up with Lin Jingxie and was about to follow his footsteps when sudden cries for help grasped his attention. He paused in his tracks looking back at where the frightful cries wereing from. The urge to go after Lin Jingxie was intense but he just couldn''t walk away from someone who needed help. With a clenched jaw, Qie Ranzhe followed the sound only to find a girl hanging upside down in a tree with her ankles tied by a rope. She had stumbled upon one of the traps set by hunters to catch prey.


    Because she was upside down, her dress wasplying with gravity exposing her sensualvish thighs. She was pinching her garment in between her thighs to stop it from riding any further down. At least it was covering her punani otherwise Qie Ranzhe would have seen everything. Zhao Huangzhi could sense someone''s arrival but the person didn''t make a sound to make their presence known. She swung around looking for the culprit while yelling, "What are you staring a-?" before she abruptly paused dazzled by Qie Ranzhe''s charming appearance.


    Qie Ranzhe waszily leaning against a tree trunk with his arms folded across his chest all nonchnt as she swung around to face him. His was busy pondering on whether he should just walk away because to him it didn''t make sense why a girl would wander here all alone in a remote part of the forest.


    If he saved her then she would never learn her lesson. He was about to walk away when his muscles tensed up recognising her face. She was the seductress that bewitched Lin Jingxie the other day. ''Why would I save my love rival, fuck this,'' he thought taking a step with every intention of walking away.


    Zhao Huangzhi had been blushing profusely having a cherry blossom moment that one would say it was love at first sight. Her heart was pounding against her chest drooling over those alluring phoenix eyes staring back at her. Her eyes tracked downwards admiring his full lips wondering if they would taste as sweet as they looked. His masculine build had her curious, she just wanted to touch him. Her pervy thoughts only dispersed when she saw him turning to walk away causing her to panic.


    "Wait, please don''t leave me here. I will give you anything you want," she pled with a pained expression, her eyelid rimmed with tears. She had been in the forest looking for the guy she saw at the market the other day as her servant had found out that he was most likely one of those infamous ruffians.


    Despite her status, she didn''t care about his background. That boy had to be hers and she was going to make it happen whatever means necessary. Besides, she knew a poor boy was much easy to control especially when they fall helplessly in love.


    She didn''t expect to get lost and find herself falling into a trap. She had been hanging upside down for almost an hour with a flushed face and veins bulging out. Who would have known the boy would deliver himself to her but she didn''t anticipate his attitude towards her to be so taciturn.


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t even stop when she called out to him and so Zhao Huangzhi pled with him some more hoping to sway his heart. "I will give anything you want just please let me down," said a desperate Zhao Huangzhi with tears flowing down into her dangling hair. He only stopped when he heard her sniffles ckmailing him into assisting her. Qie Ranzhe walked over scolding her beforending a hand, "A beautiful girl like you shouldn''t be hanging out in the forest all by herself. If you hadn''t met me and ran into an even worse character, what kind of ending would you have had?"


    Zhao Huangzhi only heard the ''beautiful girl'' remark blocking her from hearing the rest thinking, ''As expected you aren''t immune to my looks,'' while wearing a timid countenance. Qie Ranzhe unsheathed his sword and was about to cut the rope when he heard Zhao Huangzhi whining, "Wait don''t cut it I will fall do- AHAHAHAH!" The screams were when he ignored her protest and cut the rope. She came down at light speed shutting her eyes anticipating the impending pain but she was suddenly cushioned from her fallnding straight into Qie Ranzhe''s arms.


    This is like every girl''s dream,nding in the arms of a handsome hero in such a romantic set up and so Zhao Huangzhi wholly enjoyed it that is for a brief moment. Qie Ranzhe suddenly dropped her like a hot potato saying, "No need to thank me, I don''t want anything from you."


    He was about to walk away when he suddenly sensed an iing stampede heading their direction. Zhao Huangzhi was still on the ground rubbing her sore butt when she noticed the vignt look on her prince charming. She quickly put on a helpless wounded animal expression asking, "Wh-whats wrong?" while getting back on her feet. Her fingers reached out to grasp his sleeve but she was instantly hauled into the tree just as the herd of angry wild boars approached their vicinity.


    "Shit!" cursed Qie Ranzhe running towards the direction Lin Jingxie had run off to earlier leaving behind a damsel clinging onto a branch holding on for dear life. She watched his disappearing figure being chased after by pissed off wild boars thinking, ''I will make you mine.''

 Chapter 37: First World: Kissing A Beautiful Mermaid

    Chapter 37: First World: Kissing A Beautiful Mermaid


    A lie is like a seed, you can either leave it exposed having the truth show itself immediately or bury it but one day it would eventually sprout and rise above the ground for everyone to see. The same applies to the lie Wen Qinxi told Qie Ranzhe about getting dragon fruit which had him in a panic as he stood right at the edge of the hill. What concerned him the most was Qie Ranzhe''s reading too much into his n and think that he was in cohorts with Zhao Huangzhi. Coincidences like that rarely happened and Qie Ranzhe wasn''t stupid, he would eventually piece things together.


    "Fuck Jolie can''t you help me out here? If he thinks I am associated with Zhao Huangzhi he will get jealous and cken likest time. Qie Ranzhe is fuckin crazy you know that," said a panicked Wen Qinxi pacing up and down. He didn''t want Qie Ranzhe to think he was interested in his soon-to-be girlfriend as she was the reason he had been going nuts in the game all this time.


    "You''re overthinking this, just rx everything is going ording to n," replied the system while smiling within. Whose n exactly was going ording to n? Wen Qinxi''s or Jolie''s?


    "Isn''t there a fruit tree around here? I can just say that I couldn''t find dragonfruit and got another one instead," said Wen Qinxi gently knocking his own noggin while reprimanding himself foring up with such a weak excuse. The system didn''t feel like dealing with the crazy today and so quietly slipped away without Wen Qinxi even noticing. He kept babbling thinking he wasn''t alone, "Maybe I can say that I didn''t fee-," he paused when he saw Qie Ranzhe running towards him like a velociraptor charging towards a helpless prey.


    "What the fuck! AHAHAHAH Jolie hising to kill," yelled Wen Qinxi with his legs growing weak in fright.


    Wen Qinxi turned on his heel to run for his life but had no means to escape. It was either death by Qie Ranzhe''s hand or drowning as he still didn''t know how to swim. The system watched this hrious showdown mockingly saying, ''Drama King.''


    With beads of cold sweat forming on his forehead and his entire body numb, Wen Qinxi looked like he had just seen a ghost as he braced for impact. "Ran-ge let''s talk about this like gentlemen," he said in a shaky tone trying to negotiate with a crazed manic which was pointless. Qie Ranzhe lunged forward grabbing him by the waist as they fell off the cliff heading straight for the bone-chillingke.


    Falling off the cliff was a massive sensory overload for Wen Qinxi with a rush of adrenaline coursing through his veins mixed in with fear. Faced with Qie Ranzhe''s reassuring smile as he tightened the grip on his waist Wen Qinxi''s fear dispersed reced with an overwhelming sense of trust and so he closed his eyes letting his body free fall. He couldn''t even understand why this eliminated his fear but his body was honest surrendering to the fall with no anxiety.


    Soon their huddled up bodies mmed into the water with a loud ssh diving towards the bottom. The impact was exceptionally strong causing them to separate from each other. Unfortunately for Wen Qinxi, his head smashed against a rock immediately losing consciousness with his body drifting in the cold dark waters.


    Qie Ranzhe felt the warmth in his arms disappear forcing him to open his eyes only to discover he had lost his special someone. He began frantically searching for Lin Jingxie with great trepidation. The thought of losing this person caused an endless twisting sharp pain in his chest as he gradually sank deeper into an overwhelming sea of despair with each passing second. Qie Ranzhe had to find him otherwise his life would be over with nothing to live for.


    In an infinite dark abyss, a delusional Wen Qinxi saw a hand reach out to him before grasping his arm pulling him up towards the light. He looked up to see who had saved him only to find a divine sparkling turquoise fin swaying in a fluid motion just like a fish. His eyes moved further up to see their face. He was soon met by a gorgeous face smiling back at him with twinkling eyes. ''Wow a mermaid,'' he thought hypnotised by her bewitching out of this world beauty.


    They soon reached the surface emerging from the dark depths into the warm sun. Wen Qinxi could finally breathe again happy to be alive saved by a dazzling goddess with a fin. The mermaid''s fin was instantly surrounded by a shimmering white light before transforming into human legs.


    She lifted Wen Qinxi into her arms exiting the water and gently ced him on dry ground as though handling fragile porcin. "Wen Qinxi are you okay?" she said leaning so close that he could feel her warm breath brushing against his cheeks. He tried to speak but his voice seemed to have shied away faced with such a pure diety so he could only nod. "Let me make sure and test your temperature just in case you have a fever."


    Wen Qinxi thought she was just going to feel his forehead or something but she leaned closer and closer till her cold lips touched his trembling lips. His entire body was hit with a pleasurable electric shock migrating from the point of contact to the rest of his body. All of sudden, his body seemed a few degrees warmer craving for more like his life depended on it. She pulled away but Wen Qinxi draped his arm around her neck pulling her closer deepening the kiss while sucking out all the warmth like a gluttonous pig.


    With the tip of his unruly tongue, Wen Qinxi licked her lips causing her to slightly quiver but he didn''t let her go that easy. He gently slid his tongue past her lips invading her mouth with no restraint. This instigated a barely audible moan as she eagerly weed the intrusion. Like a kissing veteran, Wen Qinxi took the lead as their tongues engaged in a sensual dance rousing a docile sensual beast with an erratic heartbeat pulsing through his lips. A sudden burst of feel-good hormones awakened every nerve ending in his body viciously inciting a blood rush towards his joystick south of the border.

 Chapter 38: First World: Qie Rans point of view

    Chapter 38: First World: Qie Ran''s point of view


    The dark eerie depths had Qie Ranzhe frantically swimming searching for Lin Jingxie but no matter how hard he looked he couldn''t find him. The longer he stayed underwater the more light-headed he felt due to theck of oxygen. Time was running out for both of them as there was no way he was going to resurface without Lin Jingxie. If Lin Jingxie was going to die then they would die together.


    Just when he had epted their impending demise, he suddenly noticed a faint figure adrift a few meters away from him. On hisst stride, he grasped an unresponsive Lin Jingxie''s arm before swimming up towards the surface. In a frenzy desperate to save him, Qie Ranzhe carried the corpse-like Lin Jingxie out of the water before cing him on the ground. The boy''s frozen lips were deep purple and his entire body still with no signs of life.


    Qie Ranzhe shook him a couple of times calling out to him but the boy was still unresponsive. Engulfed in fear, dreading the worst he gently pped his face trying to wake him. "Jin-ge! Jin-ge wake-up please," he called out in a heartwrenching trembling voice openly expressing the pain he felt in his heart. In ast-ditch effort to save him, Qie Ranzhe sat on top of him with his knees either side of Lin Jingxie waist before administering CPR.


    Thinking nothing of it except saving Lin Jingxie, he ced his left hand on his chest before covering it with the heel of his right hand interlocking the fingers of both hands together. He repeated thirty chestpression but Lin Jingxie wasn''t responsivepelling Qie Ranzhe to administer rescue breaths. He tilted Lin Jingxie''s head while lifting the unconscious boy''s chin to open his airway. He tried to keep a level head delivering rescue breaths three times and was about to do it a fourth time when Lin Jingxie finally reacted but it wasn''t what he expected.


    The guy licked his bottom lip in a provocative manner living behind a tingly sensation clouding Qie Ranzhe''s judgement. In a panic, he tried to pull away and wake him up but Lin Jingxie draped his arms around his neck pulling him back in ce while prying open his mouth in an invasive manner. A wide-eyed Qie Ranzhe watched as the greedy Lin Jingxie deepened the kiss with no reservations. Normally, Qie Ranzhe is a strong reserved person with great self-control but being subjected to continuous stimtion from the person he liked he couldn''t hold back even if he tried.


    Qie Ranzhe closed his eyes fully sumbing to Lin Jingxie''s provocation letting him do as he pleased. His vignce and anxiety gradually lessened allowing him to experience the stupendous sensation that came with kissing the one you love. Lin Jingxie''s imposition roused a longing that Qie Ranzhe had never experienced before as an electric current spread throughout his entire body instigating a suppressed moan. It felt so good all over as a surge of hormones took over his body muddling his mind in the process.


    A raging sea of pleasure stirred up his usually well-behaved member standing as straight as a ramrod. Things were starting to spiral out of control with both of them aroused by their intimate actions. One of them had to put an end to this and that person was Qie Ranzhe. His involuntarily twitching member brought him back to his senses separating himself from Lin Jingxie. Qie Ranzhe had to use a little force because Lin Jingxie wasn''t willing, holding on tightly as though clinging for dear life.


    Finally free, Qie Ranzhey on the ground right next to him taking deep breaths to calm himself down. A light chuckle escaped from deep within chest while covering his eyes with his palm. He was just too ecstatic mixed with other indescribable feelings. That kiss was his downfall, for Lin Jingxie he would betray his nation just to feel those soft lips on his again.


    Wen Qinxi finally rose from his slumber sitting up straight while violently coughing as he struggled to regte his breathing. Qie Ranzhe pursed his lips before stretching out his hand to pat Lin Jingxie''s back wondering if he remembered their sensual escapades. Of course, Wen Qinxi knew nothing about what had just happened. All he knew is that he was having a spring dream which was suddenly cut off just when things were getting good. He wasn''t in a good mood and his victim could only be Qie Ranzhe.


    "Qie Ranzhe what the fuck! You know I can''t swim so why did you have to act so impulsively," said Wen Qinxi trying to watch his words not to incite Qie Ranzhe again.


    Qie Ranzhe moved closer to him observing the nick on his head, it was the cut from hitting his head on the rock underwater. He only replied when he was sure it wasn''t serious. "There was a group of crazed wild boars chasing me. I had no choice," he replied gazing into Lin Jingxie''s captivating eyes, "Am sorry."


    Wen Qinxi suddenly remembered something and asked while tightly gripping Qie Ranzhe''s arm. "How about Zha-.... ahem, nevermind," he said before stopping himself when he remembered Qie Ranzhe hadn''t mentioned meeting Zhao Huangzhi yet. ''Fuck! Almost admitted to a crime," he thought letting go of Qie Ranzhe''s arm.


    Qie Ranzhe clearly heard the Zha- word and instantly knew who he was referring to but couldn''t understand how Lin Jingxie knew they had met. Where they in on this together? A flood of confusing questions filled his mind as he scrupulously scrutinised Lin Jingxie''s face making sure not to miss any slight change in expression.


    Under Qie Ranzhe''s intent gaze, Wen Qinxi felt his face heating up feeling vulnerable. Qie Ranzhe didn''t miss any of his physical reactions confirming his suspicions. ''What other secrets are you hiding Jin-ge?'' he thought choosing not to expose him yet. He gently pressed Lin Jingxie''s wound asking, "Can you feel that? Is it painful?"


    Wen Qinxi shook his head oblivious to what Qie Ranzhe was referring to. He swatted his hand offining, "Qie Ranzhe my clothes are all wet and I can''t go home like this otherwise Master Lin will punish me for sure. He already told me to stay away from water and if sees me drenched he will definitely blow his top off."


    He didn''t waste any time shedding off his clothes to hang them dry otherwise he would be subjected to another ridiculous punishment. Qie Ranzhe''s already calm heartbeat skyrocketed again with flushed ears while stammering, "Wh-what are you...." unable to finish off his sentence faced with a shirtless Lin Jingxie.


    "They will dry faster,e on take yours off. You can''t risk catching a cold," he replied while hanging his garments on a bushy shrub. By the time he was done, he found a bbergasted Qie Ranzhe still dressed with the tips of his ears red. Acent Wen Qinxi folded his arms across his chest before saying, "You want me to take them off for you?" teasing him with a mischievous grin on his visage.


    "No need!" replied bashful Qie Ranzhe cursing within, ''Fuck, fuck, fkkk!''

 Chapter 39: First World: Loving You In Secret

    Chapter 39: First World: Loving You In Secret


    Contrary tomon belief, overstimtion is an actual thing and one of its victims today would be Qie Ranzhe He had been kissed and not just a peck but the type of kiss that would make any fujoshi scream their lungs out. His torment didn''t end there, he was now faced with a shirtless Lin Jingxie prancing around oblivious to the suffering he was inflicting.


    It was both a good and bad thing, a good thing because Qie Ranzhe got a treat he never thought he would feast on this early and a bad thing because if he enjoyed it too much he might expose himself too early. That was all going on in Qie Ranzhe''s head while gazing at that luscious supple skin enticing the urge to savour every inch of Lin Jingxie''s body. Such is the torment he suffered as he could only look but not touch.


    Under Lin Jingxie''s coercion, Qie Ranzhe slowly undressed feeling vulnerable and insecure. He had never cared how he looked before casually taking off his shirt with no care in the world. But in front of Lin Jingxie, he suddenly had an overwhelming desire to get his approval putting himself under pressure. If Lin Jingxie didn''t like it, he would make sure to change to his satisfaction thats how much he liked Lin Jingxie.


    He actually had nothing to worry about as confirmed by Lin Jingxie''s reaction when he shed off all hisyers of clothing revealing what Wen Qinxi could only describe as perfection. "Shit! How is this even possible?" said Wen Qinxi envious of Qie Ranzhe''s aesthetic well built frame oozing with sex appeal. His body was stuck in-between a runner type of build and a buff gym instructor build, neither weak nor too brawny just right in the middle. Wen Qinxi had to admit, Qie Ranzhe was a heartthrob the type to steal the show wherever he went.


    Qie Ranzhe heard hisment while hanging his clothes concealing his true emotion with expressionless look. That didn''tst because as soon as he turned around he bumped into Lin Jingxie''s standing right in front of him with an appealing expression staring at his chest. They were dangerously too close forfort with Lin Jingxie''s warm breath brushing against his sensitive skin especially the dots on his chest that had somehow been stimted awake.


    "What are you doing?" asked Qie Ranzhe in hoarse voice with a nk expression. This was just too much in one day, at this pace he might end up doing something he did regret slowly inching closer to his breaking point.


    Wen Qinxi riveted on him with admiration gleaming in his eyes asking, "Can l touch, your chest is just fuckin toned? Maybe l should start training too," not even waiting for his permission poking at Qie Ranzhe''s abs with his fingertips fascinated.


    Qie Ranzhe peered at a certain someone poking at him as though tapping a keypad on a touch screen while chatting online. Wen Qinxi didn''t know he was ying with fire and was stunned when Qie Ranzhe grasp his wrist saying, "Haven''t you touched enough?" with a set smile.


    Feeling guilty for getting carried away, Wen Qinxi moved a step back smiling thinly while apologizing. "Ah, Ran-ge no need to be upset. It''s just that you look so good that l couldn''t resist. I envy you, you make me want to train too so l can look like that," he earnestly replied inspecting his own body. At least he didn''t bring his little pouch with him in the game otherwise he wouldn''t have the confidence to be shirtless right now.


    "No need for that," replied Qie Ranzhe taking a swift nce at him, "You are perfect just the way you are." Trantion ''you are just my type''.


    Wen Qinxi stopped giving himself a body exam andy down on his back on the warm sand sighing. "You are such a fuckin liar Qie Ranzhe. Is it because you don''t want me to look as good as you do so you can keep all the girls to yourself," he said half-jokingly while gazing up to the blue sky. He immersed himself into the calm serene environment gradually releasing the tension in his body.


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t say anything, he walked over andy next to him in silence enjoying Lin Jingxie''spany wondering if this boy beside him would ever love him or he was destined to always love him in secret. A warm tingling sensation lingered on his lips reminding him of what they had just done. He traced his lips with his index finger fantasizing about all the smutty things he would love to do with Lin Jingxie. Qie Ranzhe nced sideways towards him only to find Lin Jingxie sleeping soundly with no care in the world.


    Qie Ranzhe shift over toy on his side while drooling over Lin Jingxie with no restraint etching in his memory every inch of Lin Jingxie so he did never forget him even when they are apart. "Will you take responsibility?" he whispered gently rubbing Lin Jingxie''s flushed cheek under the sunlight.


    ***


    Just as the sun sank into the horizon Qie Ranzhe finally returned to the shelter after walking Lin Jingxie home which he immensely enjoyed. This could be deemed as the best day of his life a day he would forever treasure. With a broad smile, he sashayed into the shelter greeting everyone along the way walking on air. In two minutes everyone knew Ran-ge was in an excellent mood and that something great must have happened.


    News had already reached Manchu''s ears arriving by Qie Ranzhe''s room in a split second. He found the door ajar with the youth holding clean clothes while shoving a neatly folded piece of paper into his pocket. He was fully aware of what was on that paper and so coughed averting his gaze. "Ahem.....Ran-ge anything good happened?" asked an expectant Machu hoping that his older brother had finally captured saozi''s heart.


    "I am going to bath," replied Qie Ranzhe unwilling to divulge the juicy information as he slid past him with azy smile. He took two strides before looking back at Machu and said, "Shhhh," while cing his index finger on his mouth, "we kissed." Machu was left behind gaping at Qie Ranzhe who was walking away with a spring in his step towards the bathroom. He fully understood that this was meant to be a secret and respected that but couldn''t help jumping in tion praising him for perfect execution. If only Manchu knew that the kiss he was bragging about was an idental kiss.


    Meanwhile, Qie Ranzhe stripped off his garments before soaking into the warm bath the boys had prepared for him. He closed his eyes reying the sensual kiss over and over again envisioning how Lin Jingxie provocatively licked his bottom lip. His body instantly reacted summoning the same feeling he felt when it happened. His mind flooded with memories of Lin Jingxie''s arms draped around his neck re-igniting the warm sensation behind his neck. With his eyes still closed he gently caressed the back of his neck whispering in what sounded like a moan in pleasure, "Jin-ge."


    The moment he imagined their moist tongues sliding against each in erotic motions and their warm breath intertwined together tasting Lin Jingxie''s soft lips, it was game over for Qie Ranzhe. His entire body felt hot fantasizing Lin Jingxie lying under him exploring his naked body with his adventurous hands. This had its own consequences as his member stood in attention underwater as blood gushed into its veins while twitching seeking gratification.


    He dried his left hand and leaned over to grab that suspicious neatly folded piece of paper with a portrait of Lin Jingxie staring back at him with amorous eyes. Qie Ranzhe traced Lin Jingxie''s lips on the portrait with his fingertip as a burning unquenched thirst grew within. He slid his hand underwater grabbing hold of the source of his difort with every intention of taking care of it. With his gaze fixed on the portrait and his imagination running wild he skillfully rubbed his member gradually increasing his motion. He rubbed its head calling out Lin Jingxie''s name as a wave numbing pleasure spread all over his body.


    The memory of a shirtless Lin Jingxie shed in his mind bring along an overwhelming rush of unrestraint pleasure as he inched closer to a climax. He called out his name once more with convulsions of the climax sucking savagely around his fingers as he sank deeper into a sea of pleasure sumbing to his primal desires. A low groan escaped his dry throat with his muscles finally rxed. He closed his eyes with a gratified smile on his face as the portrait dangled on his fingertips outside the wooden tab.

 Chapter 40: First World: Us Girls Have Each Others Back

    Chapter 40: First World: Us Girls Have Each Other''s Back


    The desire to conquer and possess is one of the fundamental natures of mankind and Zhao Huangzhi was no exception. She had set her heart and soul on Qie Ranzhe and Qie Ranzhe alone. To cultivate their rtionship, she made sure to visit Qie Ranzhe every chance she got bringing along snacks and other misceneous gifts to give him regardless of his aloof and distant attitude towards her. But soon she noted an interesting pattern. If she visits Qie Ranzhe in the absence of Lin Jingxie, he would ruthlessly turn her down but when Lin Jingxie was there he would put on a forced smile and reluctantly ept her gift.


    It seemed Lin Jingxie was the key as he would always take her side reprimanding Qie Ranzhe for being rude. She hadn''t figured out what Lin Jingxie had against Qie Ranzhe that made him sopliant that he would listen to every word Lin Jingxie said as though it wasw. From then on she only visited whenever the two of them were together giving her an opportunity to get closer to him without getting pushed away.


    Her n was working perfectly that was until she noticed how well Qie Ranzhe treated Lin Jingxie. Qie Ranzhe was hard on Lin Jingxie''s heel like an obedient puppy dog brainlessly following behind its master. He was apletely different person unveiling the other side of him that would make any girl obsessed with him. She desperately wanted him to look at her like that and only her graduating from a mere afterthought to the main focus in his life. Their interaction rubbed her the wrong way constantly eating vinegar each time they hung out and so she decided to eliminate the best friend out of the equation.


    There was one such person who could make that possible and that was the famously sweet Lee Jienjie. It was a well-known secret that Lee Jienjie worshipped at Lin Jingxie''s feet constantly visiting the Lin Mansion just to see him. A determined Zhao Huangzhi decided to pay Lee Jienjie a visit at the famous tea house were she frequented at.


    As soon as she walked up the stairs, she noticed the cutesy looking pretty girl in a blue dress sitting with her servant waiting to be served. "Not as pretty as they say but she will do," said Zhao Huangzhi to her servant following behind her.


    "Yes, she''s ugly whenpared to you Miss," said the servant sneaking a nce at the bubbly Lee Jienjie. Zhao Huangzhizily waved her hand gesturing for her to find the host to serve her. She strutted towards Lee Jienjie surrounded by a tyrannical aura that had everyone along her path giving way pressing against the wall as though trying to merge with it just to escape from her. One servant serving in the tea house even chose to press his body against a customer just to flee from her.


    The customer began to loudly scold the servant calling for the host but shut his mouth when he made eye contact with those gorgeous fiery eyes that could suck your soul dry if you aren''t careful. The hairs at Lee Jienjie''s nap suddenly stood up with goosebumps all over her body sensing impending danger. She scanned around looking for the source when Zhao Huangzhi suddenly appeared before her like a poltergeist. The two girls gazed at each other for a while as though sizing each other up while Lee Jienjie''s servant quietly slipped away as she was smart enough to quit while ahead giving the twodies their private time.


    Zhao Huangzhi broke the silence first with a fixed smile. "Miss Lee is indeed as beautiful as they say," she said before sitting down on the other side without even consulting her. Lee Jie was well aware of Zhao Huangzhi''s identity. She was the left prime minister''s daughter with close rtions to the royal family though she had never seen the emperor in person. What was a prominent figure like her doing in such a small town? It was because she hade to pay her grandmother a visit but extended her visit for someone special and wouldn''t leave until she had him eating out of the palm of her hand.


    "Mi-miss Zhao, to what do I owe such a visit?" she asked stammering a little. If she said she wasn''t terrified that would be a big ass lie. She was scared to death because of the rumours of how ruthless Zhao Huangzhi could be. Don''t be deceived by that innocent sweet smile she wore around town, it was just a mask. This Zhao Huangzhi sitting right in front of her was the real Zhao Huangzhi exposing her true face.


    "Rx, you and I havemon interests," she said as the host personally served them various sweet and delicious cakes coupled with a hot steaming brew at the centre of the table. She waved her hand dismissing the host who wanted to say a few words but was abruptly cut off and scurried away getting the hint.


    Lee Jienjie was confused but tried to hide it saying, "Miss Zhao we have never crossed paths so how can we havemon interests?"


    Zhao Huangzhi''s servant who was standing behind her moved over and poured some tea for Zhao Huangzhi''s before retreating to her original position like a statue. Zhao Huangzhi gently swirled her porcin cup gazing at it while saying, "Are you interested in Qie Ranzhe?" with threatening undertones.


    When her voice reached Lee Jienjie''s ears she felt goosebumps spreading all over her tense body. The tension between them was suffocating enough to make her short of breath. "No, I like Young Master Lin. Why are you asking?"


    Zhao Huangzhi finally looked at her with an appealing expression as though approving of her answer. "Then we do havemon interests. Us girls should have each other''s backs. Eat up, I am treating you to celebrate our partnership," she said before sipping her tea with an eerie smile. Lee Jienjie had no idea what this conversation was leading too and slowly began to eat scared to piss Zhao Huangzhi off.


    ''Eat up you fuckin pig,'' thought Zhao Huangzhi cing another cake into her te.

 Chapter 41: First World: Hurricane Qie Ran

    Chapter 41: First World: Hurricane Qie Ran


    While some were skimming sipping hot tea another storm was brewing in the Lin house of horrors. Wen Qinxi seemed to have offended an ancestor haunted by beautiful women almost every two days. Where they came from, he had no idea. The first time it happened, he actually thought a poltergeist had taken interest in him constantly feeling an eerie sense of being watched. But when he turned his head to catch the culprit he didn''t catch a glimpse of them without even a shadow in sight.


    It''s only after identally rushing into Master Lin''s bedroom which he got punished for, did he finally find out it wasn''t a fiend but a girl Madam Lin wanted him to meet. Somehow she had managed to convince her husband to engage Lin Jingxie before he went off to the capital. Apparently, she thought girls in the capital were too frivolous and not suited for her dearest son. Why not Lee Jienjie one might ask? It was because someone had convinced Madam Lin that Lin Jingxie didn''t like her and their union wouldn''tst.


    The puppet master in all of this was none other than Lin Mingxu pulling the strings in the background like a pro. He especially picked the type of girls Lin Jingxie would drool over executing operation ''get rid of Qie Ranzhe with Lee Jienjie as a casualty of course. And yes, you guessed it, he was the one who came up with the whole girls in the capital are frivolous brainwashing Mama Lin, all in the name of saving his brother''s chrysanthemum.


    But like all ns there were ws and the biggest w was Lin Jingxie himself. He clearly liked the girls which was physically evident but never epted any of them. Lin Mingxu had dug deep into his reserves to get the cream of the crop but to his brother, they weren''t creamy enough. To be fair Wen Qinxi was enchanted by the dazzling beauties but wasn''t up for marrying an NPC when he had a mission. This would just add to his troubles when he had his hands full with Qie Ranzhe.


    ''Fuck, if she pulled this shit in real life l would have been a father by now of not just one kid but triplets,'' he cursed when the sixth one came to visit. The second w in Lin Mingxu''s n was again Lin Jingxie. That''s because each night after a blind date, Madam Lin would ask excitedly what Lin Jingxie thought about the girl but he would always give an odd reason like too tall, too pale, too clingy, too chatty etc to the point were the reasons became even more ridiculous like she chews too loud.


    Madam Lin lost it each time hearing such ridiculous excuses and chased him around with a slipper. This led to Wen Qinxi running off into the night seeking refuge at the only ce he knew with afortable bed which was Qie Ranzhe''s ce. Qie Ranzhe was obviously happy about spending the night with him hence weed him with open arms though it wasn''t even necessary to wee him as Qie Ranzhe woulde back to his room only to find a cute furball curled up under the quilt serving himself up on a silver tter.


    He was too ecstatic enjoying secret cuddles with his crush but couldn''t help but worry. At this rate, he feared Lin Jingxie will sumb to pressure and get robbed from him right under his nose. He couldn''t let that happen at ant cost. He had sampled the addictive sweet taste of the forbidden fruit, it could only belong to him. He was like a toddler dering sovereignty on the swing set refusing to share.


    The adorable Lin Jingxie that always peeked out of the quilt with dishevelled hair and bloodshot eyes whenever he walked in belonged to him and him alone. He vowed to work hard and be powerful enough to take Lin Jingxie as his wife with no opposition. How can he possibly let him go when the guy took his first kiss? Lin Jingxie had to take responsibility.


    This day, Qie Ranzhe had been training in the mountains with the instructor when he overheard Lin Mingxu bragging about some beautiful irresistible goddess who was going to visit them tonight. A glint of anger shed in his eyes as a fiery beast awakened within seeking an outlet to ease the pressure. His eyes fogged up in anger smashing a tree trunk closet to him that it came crashing down with a loud thud causing Lin Mingxu to cringe in despair. That might as well have been his face if he had been close by.


    Qie Ranzhe''s hands were trembling his knuckles bleeding but his anger wasn''t pacified in the slightest. He turned on his heel and abruptly left hoping to have a chat with Lin Jingxie tonight. Qie Ranzhe felt it necessary now more than ever to intervene and stop these blind dates once and for all. Sure he enjoyed the benefits of having to share a bed with him making the most of the warmth emanating from Lin Jingxie''s body but he dreaded the worst-case scenario and that is losing him to a minx.


    Qie Ranzhe was so fuming in angerpletely unaware of an evil root spreading its vines all over his body nourished by his own resentful energy. He was inching closer to bing a bloodthirsty crazed maniac and didn''t even know it.


    Meanwhile, in the GameX game room, a warning was issued with a ding sound that was loud enough for Hei Bao and Xia Bai to hear even as they wore their headsets ying online games with their backs facing the screen. Jolie swiftly turned down the warning trigger volume that when it sounded again it was barely audible. Hei Bao took off his headsets before speaking to Xia Bai, "Dage, did you hear something?"


    Xia Bai scowled in displeasure having dropped his HP bar in the game, "Huh?!" bellowed an irritated Xia Bai that Hei Bao had to rub his painful ears. He pointed at his own headsets gesturing for Xia Bai to take them off to which heplied though impatient.


    "Did you hear something, it sounded like the warning signal?" asked Hei Bao as they both quieted down to listen but there was no warning sound as the system had gone as far as muting it. Jolie was doing it for one a special reason and that is to push Qie Ranzhe into confessing without giving Wen Qinxi enough time to meddle and they would all live happily ever after with enough cash prize for an interestingpanion.


    "You just imagining things, stop drinking too much of that shit, it''s making you delusional," said Xia Bai pointing at the three empty cans of caffeinated energy drinks before putting back on his headsets.


    "Okay," said Hei Bao shrugging his shoulders while carrying on with his game.

 Chapter 42: First World: Swapped Dinner

    Chapter 42: First World: Swapped Dinner


    If this world had a weather service channel they would have issued a warning to the citizens to stay clear as hurricane Qie Ranzhe was approaching. A dark aura invisible to the naked eye was permeating from his body attracting vicious resentful energy from all over town. Anyone who passed him could feel their muscles tense up in fear with every hair on their body standing on end perceiving danger. This was only the beginning, just a drop in the oceanpared to how Qie Ranzhe felt when he got to the shelter only to find the cat that he provided refugee to hadn''t arrived yet.


    With his entire body rigid, Qie Ranzhe sat on his bed waiting for Lin Jingxie to show up vowing not to eat dinner until he made his appearance but with each passing moment the likelihood for that happening was bing bleak. Qie Ranzhe clenched and unclenched his fists numerous times deducing what could have happened. The more he sank deep into a sea of negative thoughts the angrier he became that Machu had toe in and calm the crazy.


    "Ran-ge its probably nothing just eat first maybe he will show up after you are done. You can always wait till morning to speak to him otherwise you might expose yourself if you see him with a girl," said Machu with one foot at the door just in case his words stimted Qie Ranzhe.


    To his surprise, Qie Ranzhe agreed and suddenly stood up heading for the dining room clenching his jaw while stomping all the way. The dining table was set with all kinds of exquisite mouth-watering foods that could easily pass off as five-star dishes made by the finest chef. Qie Ranzhe paused with his chopsticks hovering above the table with his brows creased together. Though appetising the food was not to his taste something had definitely changed."What is this?" asked Qie Ranzhe with a solemn tone as he mmed his chopsticks back on the table.


    Machu was scared stiff unable to annunciate a single word. Lin Jingxie had dropped by as usual and left carefully packed dishes for Qie Ranzhe. Right after he left, Zhao Huangzhi showed up looking for Qie Ranzhe only to find out that he had left for the mountains to practice. She had clearly seen Lin Jingxie''s disappearing figure before she entered the gate and so asked one of the boys what Lin Jingxie was doing here if Qie Ranzhe wasn''t there.


    Bewitched by her beauty, the boy divulged the details mentioning how Lin Jingxie brings food for Qie Ranzhe every single day dishes especially prepared for him. A familiar stinging pain poked at her chest green with envy. This duty should be why Lin Jingxie was treated better she thought while looking around for the kitchen. She strongly believed Qie Ranzhe felt indebted to Lin Jingxie because of the food he brought for him each day.


    A light bulb suddenly lit up like a Christmas tree in that clever brain of hers proceeding to ask in a gentle sweet tone, "May you please show me to the kitchen. I am really thirsty and would like to drink some water?" The boy didn''t suspect anything especially when he had seen Qie Ranzhe and Lin Jingxie hang out with her before and so showed her the way. With the cup in her hand, she looked around the room looking for anything that resembled packed food as she initiated her n to sabotage it.


    She was confident that once Qie Ranzhe got a taste of the food their family chef made he would automatically demote Lin Jingxie and eat her food instead. The corner of her mouth rose up slightly in a smile when she found the elegant wooden triple deck bento box settled at the end of the table. It was clearly separated from the rest of the packed food indicating its importance. She had no doubt in her mind that she had found the right one and so staggered forward pretending to have tripped over. Her hip bumped the table and the box came crashing down with a loud bam.


    The two people froze with their entire bodies tensed up gaping at each other. Zhao Huangzhi apologised ever so sincerely but the more the boy stared at that broken box with all the contents split to the floor the paler his face looked. He ced both his hands either side of his head looking like a mourner at a funeral muttering, "He''s going to kill me, he''s going to fucking kill me."


    Machu heard the noise and came rushing to see what had happened and his face sank with endless streams of ck lines staring at the split contents of what should have been Qie Ranzhe''s dinner, one of the few things he always looked forward to. Zhao Huangzhi couldn''t understand why they had an extreme reaction to this, wasn''t it just food? Machu was about to run over to the Lin Mansion and somehow convince Lin Jingxie to make more when his path was blocked by Zhao Huangzhi.


    To her, any fruit was a fruit, what was the point of being fussy but to Qie Ranzhe you couldn''t give him an apple trying to pass it off as a pineapple. They were clearly different thus Qie Ranzhe''s reaction to the star quality food right in front of him. Machu had a slight inkling that her n wouldn''t work because Qie Ranzhe hadn''t eaten anything that wasn''t cooked or given to him by Lin Jingxie in a very long time which turned him into a picky eater. Basically, if it wasn''t from Jin-ge, he wasn''t eating it.


    This was like trying to feed him horsemeat while passing it off as beef. "Ran-ge ple-please don''t get mad your dinner fell to the ground and.....um....Zhao Huangzhi reced i-" he stammered but didn''t get to finish when the sound of a chair scraping the floor grasped his attention. Qie Ranzhe stood up with dark poisonous eyes that spelt murder as something snapped within him.


    ''Oh shit!'' thought Machu with weakened legs shaking like a leaf as he watched Qie Ranzhe storm out of the door heading towards god knows where.

 Chapter 43: First World: Angry Mum With A Slipper

    Chapter 43: First World: Angry Mum With A Slipper


    Anger clouded Qie Ranzhe''s judgement, he didn''t know when or how he arrived at the gates of the Lin Mansion. His mind was running wild with erratic thoughts certainly hangry vowing to take vengeance on Zhao Huangzhi for further ruining his night. He could have at least pacified his anger by eating the food made for him by Lin Jingxie eating it asfort food. These series of events left a bitter taste in his mouth that could only go away if heid eyes on Lin Jingxie. Just a glimpse of him would resolve all his grievances that''s why he walked all the way here in the middle of the night.


    He initially walked towards Lin Jingxie''s room but loud sounds of what could only be amotion drew his attention. The mansion that is usually peaceful by now was still as lively as ever with a group of servants eavesdropping outside Master Lin''s study while whispering to each other with their ears glued to the door. They werepletely engrossed in their hical conduct that they didn''t notice someone approaching.


    Qie Ranzhe stood behind them listening in on their conversation with no intention of making his presence known. "Did young master really say that? Aiya.....that young miss was so beautiful but ran off crying," said the cook swinging his arms around with adle in his hand.


    "Haha that''s not all, he even went as far as telling her to mature first thene back and try again," said a young maiden covering her mouth while snickering.


    One servant tapped the gardener while asking, "Is young master really into older women or he was just trying to make her abandoned hope because l really can''t imagine young master kissing a grandma. Ah, that''s so fuckin wrong," while curiously leaning forward.


    A hand suddenly smacked the back of his head as he yelped, "Ouch." An older woman among the group was displeased by his discrimination and so hit him hard before scolding him.


    "What''s wrong with an older woman, huh? I am as energetic and more experienced in bed so of course, young master would go fordies my age. We are better than those innocent little girls who don''t even know how to eat it right," she said poking his head in anger. All the servants gawked at her speechless wondering how such a filthy mouth belonged to ady.


    Qie Ranzhe clearly heard this and frowned obviously displeased, he not only had to worry about cute lolis but also older women. What kind of situation was this? He thought back to all the aunties Lin Jingxie had been polite to, did he like them all as well? Frustrated, he massaged in between his brows with two fingers sighing inwardly while suppressing his rage.


    "Who knows maybe l can give young master a tutorial free of charge," she uttered proudly inciting a disapproving reaction from the rest of the servants.


    "Oh please spare us,"


    "My pure ears, l can''t wash them clean even if l scrub ten times,"


    "What the fuck is wrong with you," they allined talking over each other.


    This was obviously thest straw for Qie Ranzhe as he rudely pushed through the group before opening the door to the study. The entire Lin family was too focused on their argument that they didn''t even notice when he walked in. Lin Jingxie was at the far end of the room running away from a livid Madam Lin threatening him with a slipper while the rest of the Lin men held her back.


    They had never seen her this angry before with a flushed face and purple veins bulging on her neck while yelling at a petrified Lin Jingxie. "Older women huh! If that''s your type then l am going to beat you till you can''t even look at an older woman ever again!" she roared lunging forward with great strength trying to break away from her husband and teach her son a lesson.


    She had neverid a finger on him for his entire life but today she was going to make a clear example out of him. ''She''s bad shit crazy,'' thought Wen Qinxi devising an escape route. He had randomly came up with an excuse to get Madam Lin off his back but didn''t anticipate her extreme reaction otherwise he would have taken precautions and said it while standing by the door for an easy getaway.


    Seeing that her attempts to break free were futile, she resorted to throwing the only thing in her hand and that would be the slipper she had originally nned to beat him with. Like a professional pitcher in baseball, she urately flung that slipper aiming at Lin Jingxie''s face.


    It was as though time slowed down with the slipper spinning in the air heading for a wide-eyed Wen Qinxi hesitating on whether to make a break for it. He decided to take the punishment head on hoping it would appease Madam Lin but just as he braced for impact, he felt a swift breeze blowing by and a loud pa sound as the slipper smacked someone''s face.


    Wen Qinxi swiftly felt up his face looking for where he had been hit only to look up and see Qie Ranzhe standing right in front of him stretching his arms wide on either side in a protective stance. Wen Qinxi peeked from behind him to look at his face only to find a red patch with slipper print clearly visible like a fine piece of art.


    "Siss.....now that''s gotta hurt," said Wen Qinxi peeking from behind Qie Ranzhe''s shoulder while poking at the irritated patch of skin. Qie Ranzhe turned his face gazing at him from the corner of his dark fuming eyes. Feeling as though his entire face was heating up under that gaze, Wen Qinxi retreated mumbling, "So fuckin scary."


    Madam Lin was stupefied frozen in ce feeling ashamed that she hit Qie Ranzhe who had nothing to do with this. "Aiyo.....l havemitted a crime to such a handsome face," she said shaking loose Lin Mingxu and her husband darting towards Qie Ranzhe, "Wuwuwuwu...auntie is so sorry. Get him some ointment!" she yelled to the melon eating servants while touching his face with trembling hands.


    This scene had all the Lin man ckjawed feeling like old discarded clothes reced by the shiny new one. Wen Qinxi decided to take chances and quietly slip away while she was distracted but only took two steps tiptoeing to the exit hunched over like a thief making his escape when her gaze shifted to him.


    "You...not even God can save you now," she said pulling him by his ear leading him to the door, "go kneel in the main hall as punishment and don''t you dare stand up till that essence stick finishes!"


    ''Woman why are stealing my line? l always execute the punishments,'' thought Master Lin with a downcast expression and yes, he only thought but didn''t dare say it otherwise he might end apanying his son kneeling as well. The guard assigned for such assignments showed up out of thin air as though he had been waiting to hear the word punishment and escorted Lin Jingxie to do his time.

 Chapter 44: First World: You will never be alone when l am here

    Chapter 44: First World: You will never be alone when l am here


    As soon as the servants dispersed and the culprit serving his sentence, Qie Ranzhe kowtowed in front of the Lin couple with a pleading look in his eyes. For now, this was the only way he could stall for time till he was powerful enough to protect Lin Jingxie. He could only appeal to their good nature and convince them to drop the idea.


    Stooping so low with his forehead touching the floor, he spoke in a sincere calm voice, "Madam Lin l understand your concern for Lin Jingxie and only wish the best for him but please reconsider your decision. With such great role models at home who demonstrate what love should be like how can he settle for anything less than that?"


    He spoke with a glib tongue battering up the couple while tipping the scale in his favour with minimum effort. Lin Mingxu was stunned speechless by Qie Ranzhe''s actions, he was surely a thorn in his eye painfully digging deeper each time he tried to uproot it.


    "l know you want to protect him from vile women in the capital when he goes to take the imperial exam which Ipletely understand. I will take full responsibility and make sure no unapproved personnel will get in contact with him as l n on joining the guild stationed in the capital. It would be my pleasure to watch him for you before you migrate to the capital. Hopefully, this would put your mind to ease," he sincerely spoke while hiding a sly grin.


    This would be verbal consent to eliminate his love rivals andpletely monopolizing Lin Jingxie. Jolie who was enjoying the show swore in excitement apuding its ruthless boss, ''Now that''s how you fuckin do business,'' it said cheering him on with dor signs in its eyes.


    Lin Mingxu quickly refuted but soon shut his mouth when Madam Lin red at him with the corner of her eye. ''Isn''t this sending the defenceless littlemb into lion''s den?'' thought Lin Mingxu tightly clenching his fist feeling disappointed with himself.


    "Okay, auntie would have to trouble you then. Keep him away from those cougars otherwise how will I ever face the ancestors," she said with her husband nodding in agreement. He would agree to anything right now just to end this conversation and move on. With Madam Lin pacified and both parties reaching a mutual agreement, Qie Ranzhe finally rose from the ground following the Lin couple out of the study.


    He suddenly stopped when he reached the door turning to face Lin Mingxu following behind him and only spoke when he was sure the pair was gone. "Brother-inw some friendly advice. Stop interfering with my fuckin business. If you keep forcing my hand l would have to retaliate and stop ying nice," he said in a gentle tone with a hint of crazy that was barely noticeable if he weren''t paying attention.


    Qie Ranzhe harshly patted Lin Mingxu''s face twice like a bully threatening hisckey to behave before turning on his heel walking away. "This was you being fuckin nice? Such a white-eyed wolf" said Lin Mingxu while watching Qie Ranzhe''s disappearing figure. Only when he was sure Qie Ranzhe was gone did he finally rx steading his frightened body against the door with his hand on his chest.


    Meanwhile, Wen Qinxi was kneeling in the main hall blowing fast short breathes towards the essence stick trying to shorten the time span of the punishment. It seemed to be working with essence stick glowing an amber-red colour with a steady stream of smoke rising from the tip. His lips arched upwards presenting a thrilled smile but that smile soon fell when the guard came and reced the essence stick saying, "Young Master please don''t make trouble otherwise I will get punished too."


    Wen Qinxi gawped at him with an ugly expression thinking, ''Isn''t it just the two of us, how would she know unless if you snitch?'' Hepletely dropped the idea with his eyes fixed on the essence stick as though trying to use some inner force to help it burn faster. Just when he thought he was going to die of boredom, Jolie made an appearance offering a range of series to watch so as to pass time.


    ''Haaa, Jolie you are a lifesaver. One action series please," he said zing through the avable genres but all of the genres except one suddenly turned grey meaning not avable. ''What happened to the other genres? Why are they not working?'' he asked staring at the drama genre illuminating a green light. He wasn''t a fan of anything that wasn''t action but now was forced to watch this to pass time.


    ''Don''t me me, the fuckin inte is slow,'' said Jolie making up someme excuse that Wen Qinxi obviously didn''t believe.


    ''HAHAHAHAHA! You think I am so fuckin stupid, don''t you? I work for GameX so don''t you dare lie to me,'' replied Wen Qinxi as the drama genre opened but everything else was also grey except for one series. ''Huh and in here its only one series. Jolie if you wanted me to watch this drama why didn''t you just say so from the beginning?'' he asked angrily wishing he could knock some sense into this ungodly system.


    ''No, the WiFi isgging,'' lied the shameless system while starting the series.


    Wen Qinxi scoffed while rebuking it, ''Liar you are obviously connected to a fibre circuit you little rascal.'' He didn''t know why Jolie picked this series but soon found out how tragic and sad it was. There was neither face pping nor hero saving the damsel in distress only endless heart-wrenching abuse of the female. Wen Qinxi couldn''t hold back the tears streaming down his face while whining, ''Jolie, why did you have to pick such a sad movie? Do you like seeing me miserable?"


    Such is the scene Qie Ranzhe walked into. Lin Jingxie was kneeling with his shoulders trembling while wiping away the tears streaming down his face. Qie Ranzhe felt a piercing pain at the pit of his stomach, his chest heavy feeling suffocated as overwhelming despair took hold of him. He didn''t like seeing Lin Jingxie cry, he didn''t want Lin Jingxie to cry and so he knelt down beside him and embraced him gently rubbing his back to coax him.


    Wen Qinxi was caught by surprise with his face nted on Qie Ranzhe''s chest thinking, ''What the fuck?'' Jolie had already switched off the series and vanished into thin air celebrating its victory leaving behind a confused Wen Qinxi. "Shhh it''s okay, I am here for you. You will never be alone while I am here for you." Wen Qinxi tried to free himself but the embrace only got tighter with the scent of plumeria assaulting his nose causing him to feel dizzy with his heart palpitating like it does when he rides a rollercoaster.


    ''He should stop using Madam Lin''s fragrance bars, is he trying to choke me to death?'' thought Wen Qinxi as he stopped struggling. Seeing that the boy in his arms had finally rxed no longer rejecting his touch, Qie Ranzhe smiled and unconsciously kissed the top of his head while gently patting his back. Wen Qinxi stiffened cursing like a sailor as the system hurriedly censored him.


    ''F@#%%&^@@@#$##$@%$#@%@#$@#$#@$#$@#$#@!'' swore the vulgar nerd to high heaven.

 Chapter 45: First World: Unrequited Love

    Chapter 45: First World: Unrequited Love


    They say being in love is the greatest and longsting high on the exining why humans crave for it like an addiction. What people might not know is that loving someone who might never love you shakes you to the core but its incredibly exciting making you feel alive as both Zhao Huangzhi and Qie Ranzhe could testify. One had her sights on the other but the other had his sights on his friend who had no idea how Qie Ranzhe felt towards him. Of course, the downside to unrequited love is the unforgettable piercing pain that stabs at your heart deeper and deeper as you hold on to them. Zhao Huangzhi felt that pain when her n failed miserably right before her eyes.


    She couldn''t understand why her food wasn''t good enough for Qie Ranzhe despite the fact that it was prepared by the finest chef bestowed upon her grandmother by the emperor himself. Zhao Huangzhi was piqued by this situation using the man of sabotaging her. In her moment of anger, she impulsively fired the chef resulting in her buttocks being spanked by the ruthless grandma Zhao. With a servant rubbing ointment on her sore butt, she couldn''t help but wonder what was so special about Lin Jin''s food that had Qie Ranzhe deeply attached. At that moment, she made a decision to approach Lin Jingxie and ask directly. She knew he wouldn''t turn her away as he was the only one who supported her love pursuit for Qie Ranzhe. The next morning she found herself at the Lin Mansion bright and early just as the golden sun rose from the horizon looking to talk to Lin Jingxie.


    The servants were enchanted by her rose like delicate beauty that was alluring yet unattainable like a diety with thorns that would make you bleed if you displease her. She was led to a table out in the garden set for breakfast where Madam Lin and Lin Mingxu were just about to eat. Lin Ming clearly knew who she was but Madam Lin had a little impression of this dazzling beauty but weed her none the less.


    She politely greeted them refusing their offer to join them for breakfast before inquiring about Lin Jingxie''s whereabouts. "I could tell you where he is but l don''t think ady of your stature would be able to join him," said Lin Mingxu with a disapproving look on his face. He clearly disliked her and didn''t even attempt to conceal his feelings. Though they wished to achieve the same goal Lin Mingxu couldn''t shake the feeling that Zhao Huangzhi might harbour ill-intention towards his brother. Maybe not now but definitely in the near future.


    His gut feeling told him that this woman was dangerous maybe even more dangerous than Qie Ranzhe but at least Qie Ranzhe was obsessed with his brother and wouldn''t harm him. So he kept his distance watching her closely, even Lin Jingxie seemed to keep his distance from her hence he had nothing to worry about. But now she was seeking him out stimting Lin Mingxu''s vignce. There was absolutely no way he was leaving them two alone together.


    "I really don''t mind. May you please show me the way?" she said in a such a coy tone that had Madam Lin creasing her brows while exchanging looks with her son with an expression that seemed to be saying, ''is this one of the vile women from the capital you were talking about?''


    "Sure," replied Lin Mingxu as he stood up gesturing with his hand dies first'' before following behind her. Just as he took a step forward, Madam Lin suddenly grasped his wrist pulling him back in concern. She had already branded her a vixen, minx and other names that are not suitable to say in front of children as she could clearly see through that fake smile and worried for her sons.


    "Does either of you like her?" she anxiously asked in a whisper watching her graceful slender frame walking towards the door.


    "No that''s Qie Ranzhe''s love interest. No need to worry mother," he said patting her hand before walking out. His words didn''t put her mind to ease in the slightest because she had epted Qie Ranzhe as her son and was naturally worried for him. She had to intervene and personally deal with this matter hoping it wasn''t toote for Qie Ranzhe otherwise Zhao Huangzhi would be extremely difficult to get rid off.


    Lin Mingxu led her to the kitchen with neither of them exchanging words along the way which didn''t bother him because he didn''t care about her so why bother having insincere beauty-parlour chitchat. Zhao Huangzhi on the other hand felt disgruntled as her charms didn''t seem to work on Lin Mingxu who should be smitten by now. Instead, the boy was cold and distant freezing her out with no room for negotiation just like Qie Ranzhe.


    The only one who seemed to care for her was Lin Jin who, unfortunately, was the person she needed to get rid of so she could monopolize Qie Ranzhe. They soon arrived at a spacious kitchen with grey smoke escaping through the door. Her eyes instantly became teary with the smoke stinging her eyes the closer she got. Lin Mingxu didn''t move, he just pointed for her to go in whilezily leaning against the wall.


    "In here?" she asked with a fixed expression hiding her displeasure as this was the first time she had ever stepped into a kitchen her entire life. Though hesitant at first, she endured willingly going through with it as long as it got her the lover she yearned for day and night. With reddened eyes, she entered only to find Lin Jingxie chopping some vegetables while simultaneously frying something.


    Her heart sank when she realized that the young master was handling such a peasant job meant to be done by a servant. Was the Lin family so poor that they couldn''t afford a cook and had their heir do it? "Jin-ge this...," she said stunned out her mind.


    Wen Qinxi was surprised to see her but couldn''t pay much attention to her otherwise he might burn Qie Ranzhe''s dinner. He smiled gently and said, "You shouldn''t be here, didn''t Ming Ming tell you about the smoke? It might ruin your beautiful dress."


    "Its okay l have plenty more. What are you doing?" she asked wiping away a tear flowing from her irritated eyes looking like a fallen angel.


    "I am making food for Qie Ranzhe. Its Sichuan chicken, hot and sour shredded potato stir fry and some ginger garlic spinach stir fry. Oh, l will also pack some rice for him" he replied while keeping busy. He had been meaning to let the female lead take the lead with this one and relieve him of this tedious task but knowing Qie Ranzhe''s personality he nned on easing him into eptance.


    "Jin-ge treats Ran-ge so well. Would you please teach me so l can also make food for him?" she said grabbing his arm by the elbow with a whiny voice that even sickening herself. She didn''t expect Lin Jingxie to take her hand off as though unhappy with the contact as he began exining.


    While half-heartedly listening to Lin Jingxie she heard Qie Ranzhe''s voiceing from outside the kitchen as he was conversing with Lin Mingxu. She suddenly had an idea, the oldest trick in the book that could set her ship sailing. This would kill two birds with one stone and she could finally have her happy ever after.


    She waited for the right moment to ask Lin Jingxie to show her how to slice the potatoes. Without thinking it through deeply engrossed on the task at hand, Wen Qinxi stood beside her carefully demonstrating how to cut them the right way. Zhao Huangzhi tried again but she so bad at it wasting his preped ingredients. He really didn''t want to peel more potatoes again.


    So Wen Qinxi ced his hand over hers guiding the knife in between her fingertips properly slicing through the starchy potato while exining patiently. To everyone else, it looked like a romantic scene out of the movies but to Wen Qinxi, he was simply teaching the female lead how to take care of her future husband.


    Qie Ranzhe suddenly walked in only to find the man he loved holding hands with the seductress so naturally like they had done it a dozen times before. His heart was racing with a heavy feeling crashing his chest as a flush of anger crept up his face while clenching his jaw. "What are you doing?" he said in a cold tyrannical voice that startled the both of them. Zhao Huangzhi was truly skilled pretending to be surprised by his sudden arrival.


    "Ran-ge it was him who touched m-," she kept on talking but none of the two was listening with their line of sight colliding caught in a stalemate. Qie Ranzhe could see obvious signs of guilt on Lin Jingxie''s face which made himpletely misunderstanding the situation. He felt a suffocating pain coupled with a heartache that felt as though his heart was being torn apart. He naturally couldn''t stay there much longer and so he angrily stormed out disappearing without a trace.

 Chapter 46: First World: Do You Know What You Did Wrong?

    Chapter 46: First World: Do You Know What You Did Wrong?


    When Qie Ranzhe disappeared he truly vanished without a trace. It had already been three days since the incident but Wen Qinxi couldn''t find him. With Jolie''s help he knew in advance where to find him but each time he got close, Qie Ranzhe would suddenly disappear as though he hadn''t even been there in the first ce.


    Hei Bao and Xia Bai had been startled when they heard Wen Qinxi initiating amunication channel ill at ease a couple of hours ago. To them, it was only a couple of hours but to Wen Qinxi, it had been three days since the incident. Just as they epted the call their ears were flooded by Wen Qinxi''s reprehensive tone, "Why haven''t you mentioned the ckening value yet. Last time this happened you called me in a frenzy so why the sudden change? Is he not ckening?"


    The two exchanged looks with no inkling of what Wen Qinxi was talking about. After what seemed like an eternity, Hei Bao finally spoke first attempting to ease the tension. "What did you do this time to cause him to cken? Did you flirt with his wife?" he said in a joking manner with the corners of his lips gradually rising up but that smile soon froze when he heard Wen Qinxi''s response.


    "Yep, something like that," he replied feeling so stupid. This one misunderstanding could flush all his hard work down the drain restarting the game. He hadn''t thought anything of it when he was helping Zhao Huangzhi but could understand what it looked like in Qie Ranzhe''s eyes. He wanted to clear things up with him but didn''t think Qie Ranzhe would avoid him like the gue.


    Now aware of Wen Qinxi''s warranted anxiety they turned to the screen with one of them fiddling with the keyboard typing at lightspeed but as soon as he stopped both their faces turned ashen with entire bodies numb. The ckening value was at 95% about to increase by one more digit but because the warning sound was muted so they hadn''t assumed something was wrong.


    They had two options to deal with this. The first option was to tell him the truth and endure scolding plus a pay cut and the second option was to lie and say everything is fine crossing their figures that it would soon resolve itself. They had no idea how to exin why the warning rm was muted and the me would naturally fall on them. Gazing at each with a mutual understanding they each ced one finger on the same key and simultaneously pressed down on it before hurriedly exiting the game room. "Uhm....excuse me, l am still waiting," said an impatient Wen Qinxi.


    "Sorry due to some technical issues themunication channel is currently unavable. Please try againter or contact Tech support during office hours to resolve the problem. Thank you, goodbye," said an automated voice with an out of service sign lingering before his eyes.


    Wen Qinxi, "....."


    Jolie pitched up only to find Wen Qinxi taking out his anger on a helpless tree stump. Those two had most likely done it on purpose intentional concealing something from him. The feeling of being left in dark was infuriating thus venting his rage at a poor defenceless stump. Jolie watched the scene in amusement but struggled to hold back it''sughter when Wen Qinxi painfully stubbed his big toe causing him to yelp in pain while hopping on one leg cursing with an ugly expression.


    Jolie, "...."


    The system sighed while saying, "If you are going to throw a fit at least do it properly. This just too fuckin depressing."


    "If you are here to mock me then move along. I am not in the mood," he said powerlessly sitting on the ground while casually covering his face with his hand.


    "Actually, l came to tell you where he''s been hiding these past few hours. Since you easily found him before, he went somewhere that you would least expect," said the system before a screen popped up in front of him, "he''s at the olddy''s house, the house lived in as an infant. It''s now a deserted broken-down house ever since the heir failed to rent it out. He won''t run away this time because his sleeping and hasn''t rested well ever since the incident."


    Wen Qinxi didn''t waste any time running off to find Qie Ranzhe while rehearsing the lines he was going to say to him over and over again. He didn''t know what the ckening value was and had already wasted two days worth of game time. Wen Qinxi feared the worst with his heart aching when he thought of starting the game all over again. A winded Wen Qinxi finally reached the house peeking through the window looking for any signs of movement.


    Jolie was right, Qie Ranzhe was sound asleep in the debilitated house with his chest moving rhythmically with each breath. Wen Qinxi quietly snuck in and made sure Qie Ran had no means of escape before slowly approaching him. He stood next to the bed pondering on whether he should wake him up or wait for him to wake up himself. He decided on thetter with his eyes resting on Qie Ranzhe''s tranquil face. Before this, he had never paid close attention to Qie Ranzhe''s face while sleeping. It was like a beckoning irresistible sight that drew one closer in a trance just like a siren singing the enchantment song to attract men at sea. Wen Qi was instantly bewitched losing all rationality while scrutinising Qie Ranzhe''s handsome face.


    Unaware of his actions, Wen Qinxi leaned down closer with his mind nk clearly losing himself in the moment. He only stopped when he could clearly see Qie Ranzhe''s eyshes flickering under the sunlight as though he was having a dream. ''So gorgeous,'' he thought reaching out to touch his face but he was suddenly grabbed by the wrist and swiftly pulled down with no time to react.


    Wen Qinxi fell right on top of him with the tips of their noses lightly gliding against each other as a warm itchy sensation felt by both parties spread from the point of contact to their flushed cheeks. Wen Qinxi''s entire body froze staring at Qie Ranzhe while blinking excessively with his back feeling cold. Qie Ranzhe slowly opened his fully aware of who the person lying on top of him was.


    He already knew someone wasing as soon as Lin Jingxie stepped into the property. Even when sleeping his nature always cautioned him to remain vignt. He nned on going outside to take a look but when he saw it was Lin Jingxie''s, he pretended to be asleep curious to see what the other party intended to do.


    Those malevolent dark eyes were like an infinite bone-chilling ck hole in space paralyzing Wen Qinxi while slowly freezing him to death. His entire body weakened unable to get up mostly due to fright. Qie Ranzhe spoke in a cold aloof voice with a frightening countenance, "What are you doing here?"


    Wen Qinxi''s face was sickly pale nervously biting his lower lip. Seeing his innocent yet alluring action, Qie Ranzhe gulped averting his gaze fighting off the urge to bully him. "Help me up first an-and l will tell you," said Wen Qinxi secretly praying for a lighter punishment though he hadmitted a grave crime unintentionally flirting with protagonist''s woman.


    Qie Ranzhe helped him up and as they sat shoulder to shoulder he asked in a solemn tone, "Do you know what you did wrong?"

 Chapter 47: First World: Blood Pact

    Chapter 47: First World: Blood Pact


    The statement ''do you know what you did wrong'' was said to Wen Qinxi but somehow it felt ambiguous leaving the atmosphere a little awkward. Wen Qinxi nervously yed with his fingers with a lowered head ridden with guilt. He knew he was wrong breaking the bridge of trust that he had painstakingly built. Wen Qinxi wanted to admit to all his faults ripping off the bandage as quickly as possible but was suffocated by the dark oppressive forceing from the person sitting next to him.


    They sat in silence with Qie Ranzhe patiently waiting for him to answer but Lin Jingxie didn''t speak for a long time inciting Qie Ranzhe to say, "If you aren''t ready to talk thene back when you''re ready," in a dismissive tone as hey back down. In all fairness Wen Qinxi''s mind spaced out after going through an influx of emotions in such a short period of time forgetting all the lines he had been reciting for three days straight.


    When he saw Qie Ranzhe going back to sleep Wen Qinxi finally snapped out of it saying, "I am sorry Ran-ge, l shouldn''t have touched her hand. I am not the type to touch other people''s stuff. It was all a misunderstanding," he said a mouthful of words trying to clear his name but Qie Ranzhe seemed absent with his hand covering his face and his left leg bent at the knee.


    Wen Qinxi didn''t say anything else deciding to leave and give him some space but just when he was about to stand up, Qie Ranzhe finally spoke, "Are you interested in her?" in a gruff tone with his eyes still covered.


    "No, l am really not interested in her. Why would I think of my saozi in that way? I am an upstanding citizen with no intentions of stealing my brother''s wife. Now,e on cheer up," he said shaking him gently, " you can''t stay angry with me forever."


    Qie Ranzhe finally rxed with his eyes a shade brighter than before peering at him searchingly before sitting upright still holding Wen Qinxi''s gaze. The distance between them drastically reduced till they were in close quarters with each other. Qie Ranzhe couldn''t detect any signs of deceit and so smiled satisfied with his answer.


    The one thing he feared the most was being betrayed or abandoned by Lin Jingxie and when he saw their intimate actions his entire world shattered right before his eyes. The pain was extremely unbearable that he had to walk away otherwise he might have strangled Zhao Huangzhi on the spot. If they couldn''t reconcile, he nned on getting powerful enough to imprison Lin JIngxie so he could always keep him by his side. Lin Jingxie belonged to him and him alone.


    Qie Ranzhe had already irreversibly ckened with an evil root fully established within him instigating such dark psychopathic thoughts. "I can let this go but l have some conditions of course," said Qie Ranzhe in a honeyed voice that one shouldn''t trust but Wen Qinxi had less experience dealing with such a personality and fell under his trap.


    "Sure, I will do anything as long as you can forgive me," he replied slighlty shifting his body while further reducing the distance between them. When he spoke his warm breath grazed Qie Ranzhe''s face resulting in an involuntary fission that made him tense.


    "One, you must promise to never betray me," he said in a stern voice, "don''t answer lightly. Think it over carefully because l won''t tolerate it if you betray me."


    Wen Qinxi shook his head while gently pushing him back, "Of course, of course," he said with a smile on his face thinking, ''I am not that fuckin stupid.''


    Qie Ranzhe decided to add on a couple more conditions when saw how eager Lin Jingxie was to win him over. "You have to cook for me for the rest of our lives," he said leaning in closer with his armzily dangling on his bent knee.


    Wen Qinxi, "...."


    ''Does he want to hire me as a fuckin cook for the rest of the game even when gets married?'' thought Wen Qinxi shaking his head in refusal but seeing how Qie Ranzhe''s face darkened in an instant, he began to nod in agreement instead. A satisfied smile emerged on Qie Ranzhe''s face stretching his hand out to pat Lin Jingxie''s head.


    Wen Qinxi''s eyes followed that willful hand reaching out for the top of his head and unconsciously leaned backwards before smacking it with a pa sound reprimanding him, "Dage, do l look like a little kid to you? No patting otherwise you will have to take responsibility if I get a bald spot."


    Qie Ranzhe chuckled lightly whilst staring at his hand that had been smacked by Lin Jingxie thinking, ''l will let you off the hook this time but if you ever smack me again, l will smack you right back somewhere else,'' with a sprinkle of crazy in his phoenix eyes.


    "Okay, then onest thing," he said unsheathing his sword with a loud shiiiiing that startled Wen Qinxi causing him to quake a little. "let''s make a blood pact to stay together forever," he continued before making a long cut right across his palm. A steady stream of blood flowed down to his wrist as a faint smell of blood filled the air.


    At the sight of blood, Wen Qinxi widened his eyes horrified by the sudden turn of events. ''Fuck what blood pact? Laozi is afraid of pain okay,'' he thought looking away.


    His reaction surprised Qie Ranzhe who pinched Lin Jingxie''s chin forcing him to face him. "Are you not willing?" he asked looking deep into Lin Jingxie''s eyes as though trying to subdue him into obedience. Well, it seemed as though it was working with Wen Qinxi''s open palm suddenly inching closer as though under a spell.


    Qie Ranzhe''s eyes sparkled pleased to see himply but as soon as their fingertips touched, Lin Jingxie abruptly withdrew his hand cursing in his mind, ''Fuck am I not immune to the protagonist''s halo. Almost fell for it,'' said Wen Qinxi in his heart feeling vulnerable. There was no point in hiding it, Qie Ranzhe was truly disappointed with a wan look that could move mountains even gods would be moved gifting him with whatever he wanted just to make him smile again. Wen Qinxi studied him with a scowl wondering what this crazy person was so sad about. "Don''t you trust my words? There''s really no need to do this, I would never betray you," he said trying to cheer him up.


    With a lowered head Qie Ranzhe exaggerated his sadness while saying, "Last time you said you weren''t interested in her but ended up touching her hand flirting in the kitchen. You have never allowed me to help you cook but you allowed her. How can l trust only your word?"


    "You...," said Wen Qinxi short of words while feeling helpless, "Fine fine fine, you can do it. Whatever makes you happy." He turned his face away unwilling to look while being sliced open by Qie Ranzhe. Pain was his worst fear, he was even famous in his local hospital for running away whenever the word injection was mentioned. One time he had to be vinated the security guard had to hold him down as his mother was to weak to hold down that fiesty six year old. Wen Qinxi patiently waited for the excruciating pain but nothing happened so he asked in a croaky voice, "is it done?" still looking away.


    "Yes, you can look now," said Qie Ranzhe with a sly grin. Thinking Jolie had lowered the pain index to an all time low, Wen Qinxi rxed and turned to look at his hand but was stunned speechless when there wasn''t anyceration. Realising that he had been tricked he yelled, "Qie Ra-, Fckkkk" withst part said when Qie Ranzhe finally moved his sword to cut his palm.


    "AAAAAHHHHH!" yelled Wen Qinxi with the entire forest filled with his gruesome screams that had wildlife fleeing and birds flying away in terror.

 Chapter 48: First World: Dashing Knights To The Rescue

    Chapter 48: First World: Dashing Knights To The Rescue


    The two walked side by side heading out of the forest with oneining and the otherforting him. They both had a torn cloth wrapped around their palms as a makeshift bandage. "Qie Ranzhe, did you have to slice across my palm like this? A prick on my thumb would have sufficed. You are so excessive,"ined Wen Qinxi in a intive cry over his throbbing hand that will most likely leave behind a scar.


    Qie Ranzhe draped his arm around Lin Jingxie''s shoulders drawing him closer while saying, "What can a small prick do? With these things you need to do the extreme to make sure they are effective enough. Anyway you made an oath to never leave me so l am very happy," with a beaming smile that could shake the heavens.


    Wen Qinxi sighed looking at that gorgeous smile that touched his heart. "Young master please stop smiling otherwise you will bring us trouble," he said taking off the heavy sluggish arm weighing down his shoulders.


    "l see so it means you want me to smile only at you?" replied Qie Ranzhe with an even more dazzling smile shamelessly twisting his words.


    "That''s nder sir, don''t corrupt my words," replied Wen Qinxi shaking his head with his hands behind his back like a true young lord. "By the way, you still haven''t told me what you named the sword. What''s its name?" he asked trying to take advantage of Qie Ranzhe''s good mood. He had asked this question plenty of times but never managed to pry a name out of the other. He began to doubt if the sword even had a name.


    "If l tell you its name you would have to pay the price thates with it. Are you sure you can afford it?" he asked with a smile that wasn''t actually a smile while leaning down to meet Lin Jingxie''s line of sight as he was taller than him.


    "Ah forget it," said Wen Qinxi walking past him thinking, ''it''s just a fuckin name anyway, what so special about it that you have to be this dramatic. Such a fuckin drama king.'' While these two were engrossed in their conversation, somewhere within the shadows was a stalker harbouring evil intentions. Judging the direction in which two unsuspecting boys were headed, the stalker ran off to set their n in motion.


    Qie Ranzhe suddenly stopped walking looking in a specific direction with a frown on his face whilst contemting on whether to go after the stalker secretly watching them from a distance. They suddenly heard a woman''s screams crying for help just four meters away though they couldn''t see anything as the trees obscured their vision.


    Wen Qinxi wanted to run to the rescue but Qie Ranzhe stretched his hand blocking his path before looking at him saying, "Stay, it might be dangerous," with an authoritative tone only parents use on children.


    "Seriously wouldn''t it be much safer with you than staying here al-," he paused suddenly gasping in astonishment while wagging his index finger at Qie Ranzhe, ''unless you intended to walk away? Qie Ranzhe you are so fuckin heartless." Wen Qinxi dashed in the direction the screams came from just as soon as he finished his sentence.


    Qie Ranzhe who had just been scolded was struck in trance for a moment giving Wen Qinxi enough time to slip away. By the time he realized what had just happened, the guy was already ten steps ahead. He ran after him with a solemn expression concerned if he could actually protect Lin Jingxie from harm. They arrived at the scene of the crime like dashing knights ready to save the day only to find an unconscious girl her head drooping with her dishevelled hair covering up her face. A rope was tying her against a tree and next to her was a short bald bandit with gross yellow teethughing while staring at her torn skirt.


    There were also four other bandits surrounding the other girl screaming out for help. Qie Ranzhe looked at Lin Jingxie as though seeking his approval but the boy didn''t even look at him issuing some instructions. "You go save her, l will untie the one over there," said Wen Qinxi about to take off.


    Qie Ranzhe had never seen Lin Jingxie fight not even once and couldn''t help but worry though it was just one bandit. He grabbed Lin Jingxie''s elbow, his eyes filled with concern saying, "Be careful," holding on tighter as though unwilling to let him go.


    Wen Qinxi loosened his hand with a smug in his face saying, "I will," before running off to save the damsel in distress. He might have been smug a second ago but that was just for show to get Qie Ranzhe off his back. He was freaking out internally while breaking into a cold sweat.


    ''Shit! Jolie don''t you have some power-up or something so l beat this goon. I am really bad at fighting,'' said Wen Qinxi to the system while picking up a rotting log nning to sneak up on the bandit who was ying with the unconscious girl''s hair.


    ''Your character''s special skill is only literature boss. You can try bombarding the bandit with some fuckin poetry and maybe he will be inspired enough to let you go. Jiayou boss, l believe in you!'' said the system before disappearing once more.


    "Ah fuck it," he muttered before lunging towards the bandit amateurishly swinging the log. The rotting log broke into pieces barely inflicting any pain on its intended victim. The bandit red at him like a pissed off fight viper ready strike him down. "Oh shit," he said before the bandit stepped forward in an overly intimidating stance.


    "Young Master, l think you are in the wrong ce. This here has nothing to do with," he said with a smirk on his face and murderous eyes. A terrified Wen Qinxi walked backwards trembling in fear. He was left with only one option which was running away aimlessly while stalling for time hoping Qie Ranzhe would have saved the other girl.

 Chapter 49: First World: Teach That Pretty Boy Some Manners

    Chapter 49: First World: Teach That Pretty Boy Some Manners


    Though not advised every boy has to at least get into a fight at least once in their lives especially if when ites to defending a maiden''s honour. Wen Qinxi had finally had his chance at this kind of fight though truthfully it was more like a chase than a fight. The only time he defended a girl shing down her oppressors in cold-blood was in an online game rescuing the little female wudang but that couldn''t be counted as a fight.


    Being chased by a crazy bandit, he quickly discovered a secret skill that most nerds should be familiar with which is the skill of dodging from bullies. Well, in this case, it would-be dodging from bandits rather than bullies but to him, it was all the same. Like a slippery weasel, he had actually managed to survive for ten minutes straight with the bandit unable to grasp even his split ends. Lucky for him, the bandit wasn''t smart enough otherwise he could have used the girl as leverage to get him to surrender.


    On the other end, Qie Ranzhe reached the four bandits who were unsparingly pinning down a helpless girl when two of the bandits approached him, one wielding a hatchet and the other a dagger. They didn''t seem all that surprised to see him as though they had anticipated his arrival. The men were both grinning maliciously whilst showing off their tobo-stained teeth as they walked forward in an intimidating stance reducing the distance between them and Qie Ranzhe.


    "Tsk, tsk, tsk...the forest is especially ridden with beauties today such great luck, isn''t it? Look at this fuckin handsome young master offering himself up to us on a silver tter," said theckey bandit following behind his leader. The other bandits heckled flooding the ever so quiet forest with aggressive speech.


    "How about you walk away and pretend you didn''t see anything otherwise l will ruin your face and turn you ugly? Let''s see if any girl would ever look at you again," said the leader threatening Qie Ranzhe with the dagger hovering above the boy''s face.


    Qie Ranzhe almost dry heaved at the putrefying odouring from the bandit''s disgusting mouth. The rotten meat mixed in with rancid tobo smell assaulted his nose making him gauge. It was too unbearable that he made a conscious decision to finish this as soon as possible. Seeing that the youth didn''t respond and had no intentions of leaving the bandit leader swung the hilt of his dagger aiming for Qie Ranzhe''s head. But before he couldnd his strike a forceful kick struck his chest sending him flying three meters away.


    As hended onto the ground with a loud bang, the leader struggled to sit up straight clutching his chest while spitting out blood. He viciously red at Qie Ranzhe with murderous ck eyes before yelling at his dumbstruck subordinates. "What are you fuckin waiting for? Kill that brat," he bellowed before letting out a low groan in pain. His expression remained fixed hiding the excruciating pain that felt like all his insides had been ripped out of him.


    The bandit leader had initially held back his full strength seriously underestimating his opponent. The three bandits snapped out of their trance obeying their leader''smand as they simultaneously dashed towards Qie Ranzhe armed ready to take vengeance and teach this pretty boy some manners. The quivering girl shuffled on her hands and knees hiding behind some bushes. She buried her head in-between her bent knees while closing her ears with her hands whispering a silent prayer. Qie Ranzhe scowled watching the three men charging at him like raging bulls at a bullfight.


    Irritated by this nuisance, he stood tall all calm and collected like a skilled matador ready to tame the brainless bulls. Qie Ranzhe didn''t even bother unsheathing his sword choosing to fight them with his bare hands. The first bandit pounced at him swinging his hatchet with a deadly re aimed at Qie Ranzhe''s neck, he was too clouded by his emotions that he didn''t even notice the other''s actions.


    Qie Ranzhe swept the man''s leg just as the hatchet neared its target causing the bandit to fall t on his ass with a loud thud. He held the bandit down with his left leg crushing hard on the man''s chest to stop him from moving while tending to the rest of the gang. The man under Qie Ranzhe''s foot felt his chest tightening five times tighter than that of a woman wearing a corset. The man felt like he was going to die as his breathing became more constricted and so he viciously struggled like a rat caught in a trap wing, punching even trying to bite Qie Ranzhe''s leg. Qie Ranzhe red at him with terrifying dark eyes that seemed to say ''behave'' which sent chills down the bandit''s spine as he stopped struggling.


    The other two bandits seeing theirrade in this kind of predicament went after him even more aggressive than before. Judging from the boy''s weight and height, the two men felt they were at an advantage especially if they attacked him at the same time. Regaining their confidence they brazenly attacked Qie Ranzhe making the same mistake their leader made before, they werepletely blindsided.


    One man ran straight into Qie Ranzhe''s powerful punch instantly knocking out his front teeth while dislocating his jaw. Seeing an opening the other bandit grabbed Qie Ranzhe''s shoulder pulling him into a chokehold. The bandit tightened his hold constricting airflow into Qie Ranzhe''s lungs but the victim wasn''t fazed in the slightest. Qie Ranzhe jabbed the bandit''s stomach with his elbow exerting so much strength that the bandit subconsciously loosen his hold on the boy''s neck.


    The boy ruthlessly jabbed at him again and this time the bandit let go stumbling backwards his face flustered with veins popping out of his forehead cursing, "Fuck!" grimacing in pain. Qie Ranzhe wasn''t done with himnding a swift kick on the bandit''s face instantly knocking him out. The man''s teeth and blood flew straight into the other bandit''s face. Seeing hispanion''s blood sttered all of his face, the bandit couldn''t help but feel petrified with his face as white as a sheet.

 Chapter 50: First World: Bloodthirsty Genocidal Maniac (Cont)

    Chapter 50: First World: Bloodthirsty Genocidal Maniac (Cont)


    The bandit who had initially been held down by Qie Ranzhe''s foot regained his freedom and quivered while hurriedly looking for his hatchet. With trembling hands, he grabbed it and as a sudden burst of adrenaline flooded his body he swung the hatchet striking Qie Ranzhe''s arm. He only managed to inflict minimal damage as Qie Ranzhe had sensed his movements shifting out of the way but was, unfortunately, a tad bit slower.


    If he wasn''t angry then Qie Ranzhe was definitely angry now. His eyes darkened, even more, emanating kill intent like a demon ascending from the depths of hell with a grim smile that looked more like a psycho smile. The bandit trembled with beads of sweat streaming down his back while pointing the hatchet with drops of Qie Ranzhe''s blood dripping from its tip onto the ground.


    "St-st-stay back!" stammered the bandit walking backwards wanting to be as far away as possible from this beast in human form. Qie Ranzhe didn''t hear anything he said before striking the bandit''s face with the back of his hand. The bandit staggered backwards seeing stars in the middle of the day. He lost bnce and fell down as gloomy darkness descended upon him blurring his vision. He was about to lose consciousness but how could Qie Ranzhe let him off so easily?


    An unrestrained Qie Ranzhe punched the bandit in the face multiple times till his face was bleeding from his orifices barely recognisable. The other bandits helplessly watched trembling in fear terrified by this boy who looked more beast than man ruthlessly kicking theirrade till he wasn''t making a single sound. The only way they could get him to yield was to use his weakness so the leader scurried over to the tied up unconscious girl and brought her over calling out, "Stand down or l will kill her!" pushing away the strands of hair hiding her face.


    Qie Ranzhe stopped his actions and turned around in a slight panic but when he saw it was Zhao Huangzhi in the bandit''s hands, he didn''t even have a single reaction. The only reason he had panicked earlier was that he thought they had caught Lin Jingxie. The leader saw this and felt hopeless, the boy didn''t seem to care standing straight like a ramrod unfazed in the slightest.


    Just when he was about to abandon hope thest bandit finally showed up restraining Lin Jingxie while pulling his face up with his hair. Lin Jingxie''s face was reddened with blue veins crawling up like vines up his neck. "Aiyo.....it hurts fuck fuck fuck!"ined Wen Qinxiplying with the bandit. His lower lip was split with some slight bruising. Lin Jingxie looked like a hot mess with his clothes in disarray and dishevelled hair with twigs and leaves entangled with his strands millions of miles away from how he usually looked.


    Seeing this Qie Ranzhe''s face went pale with his heart twisting as though someone was wringing it tightly on either side. "Don''t touch him!" roared Qie Ranzhe moving forward but soon stopped when the bandit ced a knife on Lin Jingxie''s neck.


    The bandit leader didnt miss the change in Qie Ranzhe''s expression fully taking advantage of the situation. His eyes brightened ncing over at Lin Jingxie as though he had finally found a ray of sunshine. He grabbed Lin Jingxie from the other bandit and said with a slightly trembling voice, "How about this one? He must be important to you, right? So stand down."


    Qie Ranzhe''s heartbeat skyrocketed as a wave of unrestraint rage brewed within desperately seeking for an outlet. His chest heaved as he tightly clenched his fists with his entire body trembling in anger. Qie Ranzhe''s face turned devilish looking like a reincarnation of the demon king himself. The sun was shining brightly in the sky but it suddenly felt ice cold with the bandits shuddering under Qie Ranzhe''s gaze.


    Wen Qinxi panicked recalling how Qie Ranzhe ckened and became a bloodthirsty genocidal manic when Zhao Huangzhi was taken away from him. ''How could this happen now? It''s too early,'' he thought with his mind riddled with confusion. It''s only when he looked around did he have a moment of realization. He saw an unconscious Zhao Huangzhi who had been tossed away like garbage by the bandit leader lying on the ground. ''Oh shit! They kidnapped the female lead no wonder his going nuts,'' thought a horrified Wen Qinxi.


    The way the system described Qie Ranzhe''s berserk mode was that the guy lost all rationality blindly slicing and dicing anyone and everyone around him. With the exception of Zhao Huangzhi he couldn''t recognize anyone with his sword cutting down indiscriminately. It was as a though he was possessed by the devil''s himself and that version of Qie Ranzhe was about to make his debut.


    Wen Qinxi had no intention of dying today and so made a futile attempt to reason with him. "Ran-ge calm down, please. I swear she''s fine they didn''t do anything too serious to her," he said in a pleading tone but all the bandits stared in his direction simultaneously thinking, ''Who that fuck cares about her? You are obviously the reason why he''s pissed.''

 Chapter 51: First World: First Taste Of Blood

    Chapter 51: First World: First Taste Of Blood


    It is said when the human body senses danger it releases hormones to shut down unnecessary body functions such as the digestive system and sharpen those we need to survive but these bandits'' bodily functions didn''t seem to take a hint as they almost crapped their pants in fright. They didn''t even think of running away as they deemed it pointless remaining frozen with ashen faces awaiting judgment day.


    Wen Qinxi kept on fumbling through his words but nothing seemed to be working as Qie Ranzhe hadpletely lost his mind stuck in berserk mode while readying himself to attack. One look at him you could tell his mind wasn''t right with an eerie wolfish grin that could easily spook a sleeping baby to tears. An inky sinister aura surrounded Qie Ranzhe as he unhurriedly unsheathed his sword with his venomous menacing re fixed on the bandit leader holding Lin Jingxie hostage.


    The bandit leader held Wen Qinxi in ce before pressing down the de against his neck causing a smallceration releasing a minuscule amount of blood. Wen Qinxi stopped trying to talk Qie Ranzhe down as he hissed in pain. "I sa-said stand down or l will finish him off," stammered the bandit leader whose body was glossed in a cold sweat.


    Wen Qinxi tilted his head while thinking, ''Dage, l don''t want to fuckin die here with you. Let me go so l can run for my life,'' trying to free himself from the smelly bandit''s grasp. Qie Ranzhe seemed to have reached his limit as thest thread of reasoning snapped when he saw the blood seeping from Lin Jingxie''s neck.


    Like a ghost, Qie Ranzhe suddenly appeared in front of the terrified bandit leader before grabbing him by the cor and flinging him straight into a tree trunk followed by a loud snap which was the sound of his bones breaking. Even if he survived that ordeal he would most likely be paralysed for the rest of his life. Wen Qinxi was frozen stiff with terrorstricken eyes pointing with his trembling index finger at where Qie Ranzhe was originally standing to where he was now stammering in an inaudible voice, "ho-how di-di-did he get here that fast?" His speed was simply inhuman moving as fast as a fiend in a haunted house.


    Qie Ranzhe walked over to the now unconscious bandit leader letting out an angry roar while swinging his sword, "I told you not to fuckin touch him!" His entire body was convulsing in rage as he urately delivered the final blow beheading the leader with one swing. The lifeless wild-eyed head rolled on the ground leaving behind a trail of blood till it stopped right at Wen Qinxi''s feet. This might be a game but this corpse was as real as day with its bloodshot eyes looking at Wen Qinxi.


    A sickening feeling crept up his throat the longer he stared at the in bandit''s head. He hunched down unable to fend off the nauseous feeling and hurling whatever was left of his breakfast thinking, ''That''s so fucked up.''


    One panic-stricken bandit wailed out loud, "Boss!" with tears streaming down his cheeks but immediately zipped his mouth when Qie Ranzhe''s murderous eyes red at him in his peripheral view. The bandits'' bodies seemed to have finally taken a hint as adrenaline rushed through their bodies like roaring waters passing through the open floodgates of a dam wall. They all scattered in different directions as though marking the beginning of a countdown in a hide-and-seek game.


    Qie Ranzhe had no intentions of letting them go mercilessly chopping them down one by one with no means of escape except death. It was as though he had just had a taste of blood which left him craving for more. Seeing Qie Ranzhe disappear into the bushes chasing after the bandits, Wen Qinxi took the opportunity to escape hoisting Zhao Huangzhi onto his back while scanning around for the other girl. He called out to her multiple times but the girl was too petrified and couldn''t respond.


    Wen Qinxi was about to search the bushes when he heard a high pitched asperous shrieking sounding from the east. He ced Zhao Huangzhi on the ground and rushed towards that direction only to find Qie Ranzhe still in berserk mode lifting a helpless girl up by her neck with her feet dangling midair. "Shit!" cursed Wen Qinxi grabbing a log intending to knock out Qie Ranzhe and save the girl.


    He swung the log with all his strength aiming for Qie Ranzhe''s nape but before he could strike him, Qie Ranzhe grabbed the log tossing it and the one holding it a meter away. A desperate Wen Qinxi cried out in hoarse voice grimacing in pain, "Ran-ge!" not even sure if it would help. Maybe this was the end of the road for the both of them starting the game all over again.

 Chapter 52: First World: They Look Good Together

    Chapter 52: First World: They Look Good Together


    Hearing ever so tender that voice calling out to him, Qie Ranzhe gradually became lucid, his vision blurred while looking in Lin Jingxie''s direction with squinted eyes. He let go of the terrified girl as he staggered towards Lin Jingxie. Wen Qinxi saw the boy trudging through the bushes heading in his direction and couldn''t help but worry. Qie Ranzhe dropped the bloodstained sword onto the ground while rubbing his eyes vigorously in a futile attempt to clear his vision. The scarlet blood on his hand smeared his face making him look even more pitiful.


    With great effort, he called out, "Jin-ge," stretching out his hand reaching out to him. Wen Qinxi could tell Qie Ranzhe was returning to normal and so stood up rushing towards him arriving right on time to catch Qie Ranzhe''s copsing body in an embrace. Wen Qinxi''s clothes were stained with blood from Qie Ranzhe''s garments but he didn''t care for such trivial matters more concerned with Qie Ranzhe''s mental state.


    Wen Qinxi couldn''t help but feel like he had failed him as he ced Qie Ranzhe''s heavy sluggish body on the ground. Qie Ranzhe had long passed out looking like an entirely different person with a tranquil countenance that is if you overlook the blood smeared all over his eyes. Wen Qinxi ripped his own garment intending to tie up Qie Ranzhe''s wound caused by the hatchet earlier. While he was tying thest knot, he suddenly heard a tremulous yet sweet voice that was ever so familiar. "Jin-ge!" she said while crawling on the ground still quivering in fear.


    Wen Qinxi furrowed his brow when he saw who it was. He couldn''t help but wonder how two girls from prestigious families would be in a remote forest in the hands of bandits. Didn''t they have guards or people who escorted them especially Zhao Huangzhi as her status was even higher? He ran towards her in a panic calling out, "Lee Jienjie! Are you okay?" and knelt before her.


    She instantly threw herself into his arms sobbing and unable to restrain her torment. Apart from her swollen red eyes, Lee Jienjie was sickly pale as her body and bottom lip shuddered uncontrobly. Wen Qinxi gently stroked the back of her head in a coaxing manner attempting tofort her only letting go when she seemed to have calmed down.


    Wen Qinxi looked at her with a reassuring warm gaze saying, "I have to go get Zhao Huangzhi so stay here and l will be back before you know it," with his hands holding either side of her arms. Lee Jienjie seemed to have been struck by lightning quivering even more than before with her hands clutching his garment shaking her head refusing to let go.


    "No Jin-ge don''t go," she said ncing over to an unconscious Qie Ranzhe who had just strangled her a moment ago. Wen Qinxi followed her line of sight and could understand why she didn''t want to be left alone with the man who had just assaulted her. Lee Jienjie looked back at Wen Qinxi shaking him with her hands now clutching his cor. "Don''t go, they are both evil Jin-ge just leave them behind," she said with earnest yet fear-filled eyes.


    Wen Qinxi could understand why she would be terrified of Qie Ranzhe, the boy had just attacked her for heaven sake but why was she putting Zhao Huangzhi in the same bracket as Qie Ranzhe. Seeing that she wasn''t willing to let go of him, Wen Qinxipromised and said, "Fine you can go with me. Can you walk?" while helping her up.


    Lee Jienjie wanted to convince him some more but knew it would pointless especially while they were still in this predicament. She swallowed her words and leaned against Lin Jingxie''s body as she shuffled alongside him while vigntly looking at Qie Ranzhe as though prepared to run if he makes any slight movement.


    Wen Qinxi carried Zhao Huangzhi and walked over to Qie Ranzhe with Lee Jienjie tagging behind him. He ced the two unconscious people next to each other and couldn''t help but admit how well-matched they were. They were truly made for each other with great potential to be a power couple that could conquer the world.


    "They look good together, don''t they?" asked Wen Qinxi trying to lighten up the mood. Lee Jienjie was sitting a few feet away hugging her knees to her chest still shaken.


    "Yes, they do. I hope they spend the rest of their lives together and do the world a favour. They fuckin deserve each other," she replied cursing in an udylike manner. Wen Qinxi was stunned by her unrestrained words but took it as Lee Jienjie being in shock.


    Wen Qinxi initially nned to wait for the pair to wake up as he could neither go look for help leaving behind unconscious people in the forest nor could he send Lee Jienjie alone as she was still rattled by the who situation and who knew if those bandits had friends. The safest option was to stay put, hopefully, the two prominent families would be looking for these young mistresses.


    An hour passed just like this but the two showed no signs of waking up. He was beginning to get anxious when he heard hordes of people calling out both Zhao Huangzhi and Lee Jienjie''s names. A wave of relief flooded his mind as he stood up yelling, "Here! They are here," with a joyous smile on his face as the rustling sounds got closer.

 Chapter 53: First World: Venomous Dragon

    Chapter 53: First World: Venomous Dragon


    Research confirms that a ss of red wine at the end of each day can de-stress your mind while rxing your muscles relieving your body of all the knots and tangles brought by daily activities. But a certain someone twisted the research abusing alcohol for three days straight. The culprit was none other than Wen Qinxi the sweet nerd who hadn''t touched a drop of alcohol ever since he entered the game. The bandit incident had blindsided him shaking his core to the point of drowning his failures in alcohol.


    That day Wen Qinxi had Lin Mingxu buy him six jars of the infamous red wine known as the Venomous Dragon. It was well-known for its savagely bitter yet fruity tang deterring a lot of people from drinking it as they associated it with the feeling of drinking poison, the kind of poison that left a bad taste in your mouth. Though it tastes horrible it made up for it in such a way that when it hit it hit hard making one drunk to the point of not recognizing their own mother. On the pretence of dealing with trauma, Wen Qinxi managed to evade Master Lin''s keen eye and locked himself in his room heavily indulging in grown-up stuff.


    He not only drunk but had a feast at Master Lin''s expense with Lin Mingxu smuggling juicy roasted meat only to be kicked out as soon as he had delivered the goods. Master Lin had initially been understanding of what his son was going through but when the quantity of meat suddenly reduced on his dinner table, he became suspicious interrogating Lin Mingxu on the third night while holding a pathetic looking pork chop that was more fat than meat.


    After the day of the incident, Jolie wanted to intervene but was immediately shunned by Wen Qinxi and watched him wallow in self-pity wailing from time to time saying words like ''failed'' and ''KO''. The system couldn''t take this anymore especially when Qie Ranzhe was starting to be restless assuming that Lin Jingxie didn''t want him anymore. At this rate, Jolie feared the ckened prince would rock up in Wen Qinxi''s room and do some crazy shit like holding this drunkard hostage. If such a situation happened then it would truly be game over for all of them.


    Unable to bear watching a shabby looking Wen Qinxi slouching like a dead fish, the system finally had a heart to heart talk with him. He was currently seated on the floor with his backzily leaning against the bed, his legs spread out t on the floor. This scene was unsightly with his hair in a total mess while hugging a jar of Venomous Dragon and a half-eaten drumstick in the other hand watching a series that the system had yed for him to coax him.


    "Boss its been three days already, don''t you want to visit Qie Ranzhe?" said Jolie easing into the topic.


    Wen Qinxi drunkenly dismissively waved his hand in a sneer, "l am taking leave the boys will take good care of him." In truth, Wen Qinxi was feeling like the world''s greatest loser especially being the only one who Qie Ranzhe had allowed to stay in the game.


    He had worked hard with the aim of helping bring his boss back to the real world but screwed up failing the first world despite all his efforts. His hard work was all for nought unexpectedly speeding up Qie Ranzhe''s ckening which he didn''t intend on happening in the first ce. A ckened Qie Ranzhe would be extremely hard to manage as Wen Qinxi couldn''t watch him 24/7. To him, this plot was already stirring back to its original sequence leading Qie Ranzhe back into being a genocidal manic which would ultimately lead to his death hence restarting this world all over again.


    He seriously contemted on just killing himself and hopefully start the game all over again. The only problem was that he would have to wait for Qie Ranzhe to go through the full cycle of the first world till his death so as to restart the game. This reason deterred him from taking such a gruesome path that is up until he came up with another heinous n. "Uh-huh! I got it. Ho-how about a double suicide?" he thought outloud causing the system to shudder. This route wasn''t beneficial to both parties especially the system. ''Don''t fuck with my money Qi-ge,'' thought the system before attempting to salvage the sinking ship.


    "Actually all you need to do is show him how to tame his anger, trust me it on this. It will help you salvage this mess....Here," said the system pausing the episode Wen Qinxi was watching before showing him a couple of mantras to calm anger, "these can help him meditate and learn to exercise restraint."


    Wen Qinxi''s sluggish bloodshot eyes struggled to see what was in front him with an inquisitive expression. "Li-like the um.....the um.....um....the Dr who turns into a green guy when angry?" he stammered with a serious brooding countenance as though struggling to remember the character''s name.


    Jolie, "....." It was astonished that the nerd actually forgot one of his favourite superheroes just like that. It added another warningbel on the Venomous Dragon which was ''warning affects brain function inciting stupidity'' before coaxing him further.


    "Yes, like that guy. It''s not over yet so don''t give up," said Jolie in the most gentle coaxing tone it could voice out.


    Wen Qinxi suddenly wailed with no tears saying, "Wuwuwuwuwu why me wuwuwuwu....did l fuckin owe him money in my past life," while tossing the jar but to his disappointment, the jar was so strong it just bounced off the floor and didn''t break, "wuwuwuwu even the jar is plotting against me."


    ''Why you? Hahaha, because you fucking love money too much,'' secretly mocked the system while adding weird tantrums on the warningbel.

 Chapter 54: First World: A Pawn In Zhao Huans Game

    Chapter 54: First World: A Pawn In Zhao Huan''s Game


    After a while, Wen Qinxi seemed to have calmed down and finally uttered something more sensible than before. "He must be so traumatized right now. He just fuckin killed a bunch of people how can he not be traumatized? How do l help him with the PTSD?" asked Wen Qinxi his eyes full of concern. In his mind, Qie Ranzhe was a helpless immature teenager how could he possibly handle such a burden?


    Jolie wanted to correct him and say that Qie Ranzhe indirectly caused the original Lin Jingxie''s death but carried on with no ounce of remorse as though what happened at that waterfall had nothing to do with him but it saw an opening it could exploit and quickly win the bet. "Care for him and help him recover as a form of therapy," said the system hoping to manipte the dense boss.


    Wen Qinxi seemed to thinking it over with a stern look before finally opening his mouth. "You mean shower him with love but wouldn''t it better if we get Zhao Huangzhi to do that not me?" he said with a perplexed expression while scratching his head.


    Jolie panicked for a split second before saying, "Yes her as well but mostly you," while contemting on whether to divulge some juicy information it had been holding on to for a while now. "Screw it let me tell you. Qie Ranzhe''s ckening, Zhao Huangzhi yed a hand in it," said the system unable to hold back anymore.


    Wen Qinxi scowled in disbelief impatiently waiting for the system to carry on. "She wanted Qie Ranzhe''s attention and so arranged for those bandits to fake kidnap her and Lee Jienjie hoping her knight in shining armour would deepen his affection towards her ultimately taking their rtionship a step further,"


    "Fuck!" swore a horrified Wen Qinxi. He had never anticipated Zhao Huangzhi to use such an underhanded method to gain Qie Ranzhe''s affection. But what perplexed him the most was why Lee Jienjie was also with her and why the bandits knocked-out the mastermind? "Why was Lee Jienjie there as well? l didn''t know they knew each other," he asked sobered up by the system''s revtion. It was like a bucket of icy cold water had been poured all over his body clearing the fog lingering in his brain.


    "She willingly participated because Zhao Huangzhi convinced her that it was mutually beneficial. She gets Qie Ranzhe and in turn Lee Jienjie wins your heart," said the system eagerly retelling the events in detailed.


    Wen Qinxi was dumbstruck to the point of trembling as he recalled what Lee Jienjie had said to him that day. She had said those two deserve each other and they would be doing the world a favor if they end up together. That time he had brushed it off as her dealing with trauma and didn''t know this was all Zhao Huangzhi''s n. "Seriously? People fuckin died," he said with his face ashen in terror.


    "That bitch drank something to knock herself out so she could look even more pitiful that is after she instructed the bandits to rape Lee Jienjie to make the situation look more authentic. Didn''t you notice she had fewer bruises than Lee Jienjie? She obviously didn''t expect Qie Ranzhe to be this vicious but believe me she''s not sad about it either. Hearing that Qie Ranzhe ughtered people for her made her so happy that she almost tore off her sorrowful mask in front of everyone. She pretended to be ill to get people out of her room but grinned as soon as they were gone," said the system exining in full detail.


    Wen Qinxi didn''t say anything for a long time digesting this piece of information. He just couldn''t rte this information with Zhao Huangzhi''s kind humble nature or maybe he was just too naive? "She''s extremely ruthless. I truly hope the real Zhao Huangzhi isn''t like this otherwise I pity Qie Ranzhe for falling in love with a pure green tea bitch. Anyway, what can l do when the heart wants what it wants," he said feeling a slight headache creeping up on him. Without saying a word, he crawled into bed shuffling under the quilt before tightly wrapping himself like a little dumpling.


    Jolie, "....." thinking is this him going to sleep just like that?


    The system was about to leave when it was startled by Wen Qinxi cursing while abruptly sitting up sending the quilt flying. "Holy crap that bitch set me up!" he swore while having a moment of epiphany. He suddenly recalled that hand holding incident in the kitchen were he was caught by Qie Ranzhe. A few minutes ago he would never have believed it to be Zhao Huangzhi''s treacherous plot but after hearing the bandit ploy he couldn''t put it past her. She must have heard Qie Ranzhe talking to Lin Mingxu outside and created a chain of events that led to this. At the time, he had been too focused on cooking that he didn''t pay attention. She used the oldest trick in the book which is using jealousy to get Qie Ranzhe''s attention with Wen Qinxi as a disposable pawn in Zhao Huangzhi''s game.


    "She used me and ! fuckin fell for that innocent look like an idiot. I better help them get together soon otherwise she will keep screwing me over," he said hugging his pillow like a child who had just had a nightmare.


    The system was left speechless thinking, ''So fuckin dense,'' before disappearing into the night leaving behind a thunderstruck Wen Qinxi swaddling himself while hugging his pillow even tighter.

 Chapter 55: First World: Protect You In Secret

    Chapter 55: First World: Protect You In Secret


    Generous with no bounds andmitting to do whatever is necessary to make sure his friend gets the girl are the top qualities of a good wingman but Wen Qinxi was starting to sway. He had been a wingman before though it was mostly in online games, helping a friend to get a female yer, it was enough experience for him to help Qie Ranzhe get the love of his life.


    To achieve his goal of getting this high maintenance CEO out of the game they had to sessfully pass all five worlds and get Qie Ranzhe''s split consciousness back as one ultimately saving the overbearing CEO who was currently a vegetable in the game room. To pass the worlds Wen Qinxi had to stir the story in such a way that would guarantee Qie Ranzhe a happy ending. The ending had to be satisfying enough to make Qie Ranzhe let go of each world.


    Unfortunately, part of that happy ending included Zhao Huangzhi. After discovering how vile she could be Wen Qinxi became extremely reluctant to pair these two together. Having someone who was willing to use such methods to get what she wanted within Qie Ranzhe''s inner circle had Wen Qinxi dithering. He hadn''t slept all night thinking about this but failed toe up with an answer and could only consult Jolie. Every action Wen Qinxi took in this game was on a trial and error basis as he wasn''t even sure if what he was doing would truly help them win this level and move on to the next world.


    "Jolie l know your dear CEO loves Zhao Huangzhi in the real world but is it really okay to bring them together when she''s this evil/ Would it really affect the final result if we find him another girl?" asked Wen Qinxi exting the mansion heading in the direction of the shelter.


    The system didn''t respond for a long time thinking of a way to respond to him without raising any suspicions. In reality, it also didn''t know but still chose to advise him. "Well l don''t know either but all l can say is that without satisfying Qie Ranzhe consciousness you can''t pass this world. What are you going to do?" asked the system.


    Wen Qinxi heaved a long dejected sigh and was about to answer the system when he spotted Lee Jienjie who happened to be walking towards his direction. When she saw him, her eyes sparkled as though she had just seen an oasis in a dry desert. "Jin-ge!" she cried out in a shaky voice, "l was on my way to see you. I heard you had been recuperating in your room these past three days and couldn''t help but worry."


    The system almost choked at the word recuperating saying, ''Pfft....recuperating my ass. More like getting drunk," with a snicker. Wen Qinxi rolled his eyes within and chose to ignore it before answering.


    "Thank you for your concern but there''s no need. Its you that l should be more worried about. How are your injuries?" he asked with his eyes in full view of healing bruises that were obviously the handy work of Zhao Huangzhi''s goons. He couldn''t help but wonder what kind of woman would do such a thing to another woman? Isn''t this kind of woman highly capable of killing a person without blinking? Well, Lee Jienjie got one thing right, both Qie Ranzhe and Zhao Huangzhi would be well suited for each other that is if he wasn''t trying to change Qie Ranzhe.


    "I am doing okay though l can''t leave the house anymore without escorts," she said pointing towards the evidently buff men and several maidens following behind. Wen Qinxi couldn''t help but feel bad, Zhao Huangzhi had used Lee Jienjie''s feelings for him to draw her into this mess. Ridden with guilt, he couldn''t help but apologise to her.


    "l am truy sorry for getting you involved in this," he slowly said forgetting that only Lee Jienjie knew what truly transpired that day.


    His words startled her and so she asked, "You know?" with her heart in turmoil.


    Wen Qinxi realised his mistake and panickingly salvaged the situation, "l guessed it had something to do with her judging by your words the other day. Plus bandits in this town are a rare urrence so they must have been brought in by someone," he said trying to make up a usible excuse.


    Lee Jienjie soon rxed but put on a stern expression warning him with good intentions. "Jin-ge if she''s willing to go this far to get Qie Ranzhe''s attention what more do you think she would do to you just to keep him all to herself?" she said leaning in closer with dark eyes, "You don''t need Qie Ranzhe, he will only bring you trouble. l am literally begging you to stay away from him."


    Wen Qinxi was touched by her concern for him but there was no way in hell he would let that boss of his run around with no supervision otherwise they would only leave this ce when they had grey hair. "l understand but you don''t have to worry about me. I will stay as far away from her possible but l can''t abandon my friend just because of her," he replied attempting to reassure an anxious Lee Jienjie.


    His answer didn''t seem to put her mind at ease as she wanted to say something else but soon swallowed her words down realising she couldn''t convince him. "Just be careful Jin-ge," she finally said choosing to protect him in secret. They exchanged a few thoughtful words before eventually parting ways.

 Chapter 56: First World: I Missed You Ran-ge

    Chapter 56: First World: I Missed You Ran-ge


    A human heart might be said to be fickle but not Zhao Huan''s heart. Her n had been even more sessful than she initially thought and she finally knew Qie Ran''s true feelings. She deduced that him being cold and indifferent towards her was just a mask when it truly came down to it, the man was willing to kill for her.


    Three days had passed with her being confined in her courtyard under her grandmother''s supervision. The elderly woman wasn''t messing around when it came to her headstrong granddaughter neither was she stupid. She was fairly certain that this whole situation was her granddaughter''s doing but was still specting on what the motive could have been.


    On the forth day, Zhao Huan finally had the chance to leave the house as her grandmother had gone to some tea thing with somedies. She didn''t even care to know what the olddy was up to all she cared about was seeing Qie Ran. The itch inside her heart worsened with each passing day and the cure was simple. Just a glimpse of Qie Ran would make her feel whole again and so she left the mansion as soon as she got the chance.


    Her servant followed closely behind while engaging in silent protest. When the Miss left without her, she was the one who got tenshes for failing her job. Before Madam Zhao left she had already threatened her saying that if Zhao Huan steps one foot out that courtyard she the servant would receive twentyshes not that her Mistress would care.


    Just as the boys finished eating breakfast, Zhao Huan arrived with a perky smile that could stir up the seven seas. She enthusiastically greeted them but to her surprise, she didn''t get the response she expected. The boys pretended not to have seen her while walking around her to exit the room with their heads bowed down. ''Such ungrateful brats, don''t they know who l am?'' she thought still wearing the kind warm mask that could easily fool anyone.


    The boys cleared the dining hall leaving behind Zhao Huan and her confused servant. "Mydy, l think we better leave," said the servant in a soft-spoken voice. They had been to the shelter numerous times before but it had never been this hostile. She worried that Zhao Huan would cause trouble and earn her moreshes thus she decided to speak up.


    Zhao Huan tore up her mask finally showing her anger. "Who do they think they are ignoring me like that? Those filthy orphans are actually lucky to be breathing the same air as me yet they dare ignore me. Such disrespectful and ungrateful bastards," she said gnashing her teeth. She had never been disrespected like this even worse disrespected by mere peasants. If it wasn''t for Qie Ran she would have torn this ce apart and have it gone by sunset.


    Manchu who had just been informed of Zhao Huan''s arrival went over to take a look. He was fully aware of the reason why the pampered Mistress had graced them with her presence but there was no way Qie Ran was going to tend to her especially in his current state of mind. The atmosphere in the shelter was extremely gloomy with no ray of sunshine in sight.


    The absence of Lin Jin had cultivated such an atmosphere that could dampen anyone''s spirit as soon as they walked in. Desperate to cheer up Qie Ran they had even gone as far as visiting the Lin Mansion trying to convince saozi toe back with them but each time they were turned back with the same response. The boys couldn''t bear seeing Qie Ran like that and so when they heard footsteps walking towards them they had assumed it to be Lin Jin as he was the only person who could walk in without announcing himself.


    You can only imagine their disappointment when they saw Zhao Huan strutting around like she owned the ce. They didn''t like her and made no attempt to hide their true feelings especially when they now knew she liked their older brother. That is was they rudely walked out leaving Manchu to deal with it.


    Manchu was just about to enter the dining hall and find a polite excuse to drive her away when he heard her speak ill of his brothers. Her spiteful tongue knew no bounds saying whatever she felt like saying as though she was in her own home. Her words angered him but restraint himself when he thought of Lin Jin who had always spoken highly of her.


    He immediately walked in ready to drive her away no longer interested in hearing any more of her insults. Manchu was about to rip off the bandage as quickly as possible when he was met by Zhao Huan''s pitiful bloodshot eyes with tears umting at the rims of her lovely eyes making himpletely forget what he wanted to say.


    ''Fuck! How can she change skin this fast?'' he thought seeing that piteous face he would have easily believed if he hadn''t heard those hurtful words she was blurting out a second ago. Seeing him startled like this, Zhao Huan kicked it up a notch pleading with him while holding his arm.


    "Brother Manchu please let me see him. I have to thank him for saving my life that day. I want to see him and make sure he''s okay. Please l beg you, brother Manchu, just this once," she said almost kneeling down to the floor crying. Manchu was stupefied staring at this woman who deserved to be a world-renowned actress. She was so convincing that he started to doubt what he had overheard before.


    Manchu was about to peel off this sticky girl from his arm when he heard an icy menacing voiceing from the door saying, "Why are you here?" The room was suddenly filled with an oppressive bone-chilling aura that had Manchu and the servant girl quivering.


    In all this Zhao Huan was the only exception running straight into Qie Ran''s arms as she broke into tears saying, "I missed you Ran-ge."

 Chapter 57: First World: I Love You Ran-ge

    Chapter 57: First World: I Love You Ran-ge


    Qie Ranzhe had never been disrespected like this before especially not by a girl. Zhao Huangzhi was the first woman to have touched him this way shamelessly rubbing her palms against his firm back like a potter moulding y. A cial feeling steered by chagrin spread from their point of contact straight to his brain causing him to glower in displeasure. With great difficulty, he pushed her away before looking down on his garment soaked in tears.


    "Tsk," he said feeling the wetness seep through the fabric dampening his skin, "such a pain in the ass." He pulled the soaked fabric forward so it wouldn''t stick to his skin. He couldn''t stand it any longer and decided to walk away so he can change out of the wet clothes.


    Zhao Huangzhi froze for a moment after being harshly pushed away by Qie Ranzhe. She felt a stinging pain stabbing at the pit of her stomach having been treated this way but she seemed unbothered especially when she recalled how Qie Ranzhe was willing to do anything for her. With this thought, she finally rxed resuming her heart-rending expression. Seeing how ufortable Qie Ranzhe was in his wet garments she hurried over with a silk handkerchief to help him dry the moist patch.


    "Am so sorry Ran-ge l just.....I just couldn''t control myself. Let me help you," she said with tear-filled doe-eyes while wiping away the tears she left on Qie Ranzhe with trembling hands. Qie Ranzhe had had enough of her wild hands and so tightly seized her wrist with a meaningful expression.


    Their eyes met with Zhao Huangzhi''s bright expectant eyes gazing at him in a trance. Though she had been crying her makeup remained intact with bloodshot eyes and slightly parted cherry plump lips. She looked especially alluring enough to cause any man''s heart to flutter. Unfortunately, for her, the man she did all this for was ring at her with an ice-cold face meant to freeze her out.


    Qie Ranzhe pushed her away for the second time and turned to leave while saying, "Take your Miss back home to rest and makes sure she never steps a foot into this property ever again. Its highly inappropriate," he said to the servant in an imperative dismissive tone unwilling to deal with Zhao Huangzhi anymore. He didn''t have the patience to look at her especially after she ruined everything for him. If it weren''t for that bandit incident, Lin Jingxie wouldn''t be so afraid of him and would still be visiting him.


    He didn''t know that the whole thing was Zhao Huangzhi''s n but he was suspicious. She''s the prime minister''s daughter with so many servants to her disposal so how could she run off by herself and end up in the hands of bandits. If his mind wasn''t focused on Lin Jingxie he would have investigated further especially interrogating that annoying Lee Jienjie. His current state of mind was erratic and murky which didn''t permit him to pursue the matter further at least not now.


    Seeing him walking away while prohibiting her froming here ever again, Zhao Huangzhi snapped with herst shred of rationality melting away. She ran to block his path while taking his cold hand into hers with a ghostly pale face. "Ran-ge, why are you doing this to me? Everything Lin Jingxie does, l can do for you. You don''t have to rely on him this much. I will cook your meals, wash your clothes and even that sword, l can give you a better one," she pled with him pointing at his sheathed sword hanging around his waist, "I can make you happy and give you everything you desire."


    Qie Ranzhe''s expression remained cold and indifferent as he moved aside to walk past her saying, "Don''t fuckin call me that ever again," apathetic to respond to her heartfelt confession. He wasn''t pleased by her spoilt behaviour but restrained himself all for Lin Jingxie''s sake. If he goes too far, Lin Jingxie might never talk to him again. Qie Ranzhe feared that he would lose more if hey a finger on her which wasn''t worth it.


    Zhao Huangzhi was as stubborn as a mule and persisted. "What so special about him that you aren''t even willing to give me a chance. His food his mediocre at best and that sword is a piece of trashpared to the one l can give you. I love you Ran-ge, I will do anything for y-," she said before she was suddenly mmed against the wall with Qie Ranzhe''s hand strangling her neck. His eyes were extremely frightening they were as dark as a moonless night. Under Qie Ranzhe''s death re, she felt a chill to the marrow realizing that Qie Ranzhe wanted to kill her though he was holding back as though restrained by something.


    Her terror vaporized reced by a happy smile thinking, ''He cares for me that''s why he can''t kill me.'' Instead of heeding his warning, she took it as a sign of hope. It''s safe to say when it came to Qie Ranzhe, she was as blind as a bat with a hint of crazy. She raised her hand and gently stroked his cheek in a romantic way while whispering, "You and I are meant to be together. Even if you don''t realize it now it''s okay. I can wait for you," in a tender voice with her lidded eyes gazing at him with a glint of obsession.


    Hearing Zhao Huangzhi insult Lin Jingxie, Qie Ranzhe couldn''t hold back anymore tightening his grip to make her stop but the girl was so stubborn and carried on talking nonsense even when her life was hanging by a thread. He strengthened his grip to the point of constricting Zhao Huangzhi''s airflow while leaning in closer to whisper something in her ear.


    The servant witnessed the entire thing and ran over to save her miss but was held back by Machu. This matter had nothing to with her, she would only get hurt if she intervened now. Manchu knew Qie Ranzhe wouldn''t be stupid enough to kill her, especially with her background. If he killed Zhao Huangzhi not even the full force of the Lin n would be able to protect him. The stakes were too high for Qie Ranzhe. He would lose the people he cared for, she just wasn''t worth all that.

 Chapter 58: First World: Cut Your Losses And Move On

    Chapter 58: First World: Cut Your Losses And Move On


    Though Machu was confident that Qie Ran was only teaching Zhao Huangzhi a lesson, he began to waver a little when he saw Qie Ranzhe tightening his hold exerting more force. Zhao Huangzhi''s face reddened with purple veins popping up on her forehead as teardrops streamed down her cheek. Machu was considering separating them when he saw Qie Ranzhe leaning in to whisper something that had Zhao Huangzhi''s bloodshot eyes widen.


    "l won''t fuckin kill you today, you have to thank Lin Jingxie for that. But if you keep screwing with me l won''t hesitate ending your life. Cut your losses and move on," he said before letting her go. Zhao Huangzhi''s legs gave in as she fell to the ground filled with sorrow all the while staring at Qie Ranzhe with unyielding eyes.


    "Oh, and if you fuckin mess with my food again l will kill you and toss your body into the river," he threatened while turning away from her. He intended to leave but as he took a step Qie Ranzhe suddenly paused hearing Zhao Huangzhi''s crazedughter.


    He turned his head back at her confound by her actions though he didn''t show it in his face. He hade to a conclusion that Zhao Huangzhi either had a death wish or had mental challenges. "You think l will go away just like that? Ran-ge you can''t get rid of me that easy. One word to my father and you will be in my arms by nightfall. I don''t ask for much but whatever l want l always get and l want you," she said before breaking out into another hystericalughter but she soon quieted down when a sharp sword urately pointed at her jugr vein on her neck.


    He might not have wanted to kill her before but things had changed. He was as mad as a hatter and wanted her dead. Qie Ranzhe seemed to think the only way to shut her up and restore his peace of mind was to kill her right were shey and all his problems would vanish without a trace.


    ***


    Wen Qinxi who had just parted ways with Lee Jienjie was startled when he heard the system speaking to him in a frantic voice. "Boss boss! Hurry up and stop Qie Ranzhe. He wants to kill Zhao Huangzhi," said a panicked system. None of them knew what would happen to the world if Zhao Huangzhi was killed. She was the only other character from the real world in this game meaning she had a direct link to Qie Ranzhe''s consciousness and if she died did it mean the game would start over? No one knew the answer neither were they willing to take chances.


    Wen Qinxi knitted his brows together his mind fogged up by chaotic thoughts. He didn''t know what could have pissed off Qie Ranzhe to the point of wanting to kill the girl he was destined to be with. It seemed his interference had caused anomalies that were screwing everything up. Wen Qinxi just hoped the anomalies weren''t that big otherwise all his hardwork was all for nought.


    "Fuck!" swore Wen Qinxi running like the wind through the gates of the shelter. The boys rubbed their eyes in disbelief when they saw him. Unable to contain their excitement some of them whispered loudly, "Saozi is back," with beaming smiles.


    Wen Qinxi heard the word saozi but didn''t think much as he had other urgent matters to tend to. Wen Qinxi searched around in a frenzy when one of the boys pointed to the dining hall when he saw a disoriented Lin Jingxie. Wen Qinxi thanked him only to walk in just as Manchu was being shoved back as he tried to pull Qie Ranzhe further away from Zhao Huangzhi. He was pushed away with so much strength that hended across the room with a grimace on his face. Seeing this the servant was scared stiff unable to move. If Qie Ranzhe could do that to his best friend how about her an associate of Zhao Huangzhi?


    Wen Qinxi saw a stubborn Zhao Huangzhi with her red eyes fixed on Qie Ranzhe as though daring him to do it. She was sitted in the floor tightly clenching her fists with beads of sweat all over her forehead. "Go ahead and kill me. You might end my life today but you will lose everything that way you would never forget me. I will be etched in your heart for the rest of your life," she said moving closer causing the sword to pierce her skin.


    ''Bitch be crazy,'' thought Wen Qinxi as he witnessed such a scene. It seemed both of them had serious mental issues that needed urgent psychotherapy. If this was the modern world he would havemitted both of them into a psychiatric hospital.


    "Qie Ranzhe what are you doing?" asked Wen Qinxi with his hand on Qie Ranzhe''s shoulder. He had decided to go all out and if he dies then he would have to start again and do things differently. To his surprise Qie Ranzhe looked at his hand and then at him before looking at the hand again. Qie Ranzhe''s face showed some kind of emotion difficult to discern as he sheathed his sword and grabbed Lin Jingxie''s wrist.


    Wen Qinxi would be lying if he said he wasn''t confused. The guy felt like he had just been bombarded with ancient Chinese text all at once making him dizzy. "What the fuck you are doing?" asked Wen Qinxi as the silent Qie Ranzhe dragged him out of the room without saying a word. Wen Qinxi had a bad premonition as his body tensed up like an animal heading for ughter. ''No l am not fuckin going down like this,'' thought Wen Qinxi trying to escape.


    This version of Qie Ranzhe terrified him so much that his senses were screaming danger. He bent his knees rooting his heels deep into the floor as a sign that could be deciphered as ''l am not going anywhere''. Feeling the person behind him bing heavier Qie Ranzhe turned only to see Lin Jingxie squatting down while trying to pry open his hand.


    Qie Ranzhe, "...."


    Wen Qinxi paused his actions when he met Qie Ranzhe''s gaze. The two were caught in a stalemate with both their minds nk for three seconds straight. ''Did he just fuckin toddler me?'' thought Qie Ranzhe while breaking their eye contact. Was Lin Jingxie that terrified of him?


    Wen Qinxi looked at himself and suddenly felt stupid. ''What the heck am l doing,'' he thought before standing up while nervously clearing his throat. He scratched his head averting his gaze in embarrasement with a flushed face. "You can let go now, l will follow you," lied Wen Qinxi in a quavering tone. It was clear from his bodynguage that he would definitely make a break for it.


    Qie Ranzhe frowned slightly before saying, "You are lying to me. Be good and not make trouble." This was said right before Wen Qinxi was carried over the shoulder by Qie Ranzhe heading god knows where. Wen Qinxi tried to free himself but the grip on his lower back only tightened whenever he struggled. Exhausted he cursed his weak body before going limp like a corpse conceding to Qie Ranzhe.

 Chapter 59: First World: Lin Jin I Like You

    Chapter 59: First World: Lin Jin I Like You


    Being carried over the shoulder like a sack of potatoes had Wen Qinxi feeling a wide range of emotions including humiliation. He couldn''t understand Qie Ranzhe''s thought process right now, he even suspected the guy was bipr or something simr. Just a minute ago he was livid even pushing away his best friend in anger. Though Qie Ranzhe didn''t show it, Wen Qinxi could tell that he was more rxed than before baring an indescribable mood that the nerd couldn''t decrypt.


    Qie Ranzhe carried him all the way to his room kicking the door open before gently cing him down with a nk expression. This scenario seemed a bit off to Wen Qinxi, he couldn''t help but stray his mind towards a scene were the groom carries his bride over the threshold and the only difference was that this wasn''t a princess carry.


    His weird thoughts were soon interrupted when Qie Ranzhe embraced him in a trice and long tight hug at that. The embraced could be described as an emotional lingering tight hug with Qie Ranzhe''s face buried into Wen Qinxi''s shoulder. Wen Qinxi could feel his neck exponentially heating up with a tingly sensation apanying it. This was a bit much for Wen Qinxi so he prematurely broke contact before scolding him.


    Qie Ranzhe was obviously discontented with a strong sense of loss but he didn''t have the courage to pull Lin Jingxie back into his embrace. Wen Qinxi was so focused on scolding him that he didn''t pay attention to Qie Ranzhe''s subtle changes in expression. "Why did you have to take things that far? Even if she said something you don''t like, killing her wouldn''t be the solution? Ai.....you are so impulsive. You can''t let your emotions control you," said Wen Qinxi as the words flowed like a river past his tongue without even thinking.


    He paced back and forth as though mulling over something before he abruptly stopped in front of Qie Ranzhe saying, "Do you know the consequences of your actions? The Zhao Family would have dragged us to hell and back if you had killed her. They would take retribution by force and cause trouble for us. Fuck, l might have had to run away with you so they wouldn''t kill you," feeling like the rouge Bonnie and Clyde though he hoped their ending would have been better than those two.


    All the while, Qie Ranzhe had his head bowed giving off an illusion of remorse but in truth, he was busy thinking about something else only snapping back when he heard the part about running away together. He raised his head in astonishment with rapturous joy that Lin Jingxie was willing to be a fugitive with him. This realization made his heart melt into a sweet fluffy goo that spread all over his chest.


    Without thinking he nervously asked, "Aren''t you afraid of me?" though he was afraid to hear the answer. All his life he was fully aware of what he was capable of though he didn''t know he could get angry to the point of killing someone. When he was an infant he had once gotten angry though he didn''t remember what he was angry about, all he knew is that he cked out and when he woke up the olddy had bite marks all over her body, bite marks caused by him.


    Qie Ranzhe was so remorseful and couldn''t stop apologizing to her in tears. The olddy wasn''t at all angry but patted his head to soothe him and told him to watch his anger so as not to hurt others. From then on he knew he was different and did a good job suppressing his anger that is until he developed feelings for Lin Jingxie. Whenever Lin Jingxie was disrespected he couldn''t hold back which unfortunately led him to kill those bandits.


    His memory of what happened that day was a bit fuzzy and could only piece two or three things together but everything else was blurry. He felt bad about killing those bandits but wasn''t penitent because they daredy a hand on his man. The moment they put their filthy hands on Lin Jingxie they were already walking corpses. His only regret was that he had frightened Lin Jingxie so much so that the guy didn''t even show his face for three days straight which was the longest they had been apart ever since they started getting along with each other.


    Those three days felt like hell pushing Qie Ranzhe towards the thin barrier between sane and insane. If Lin Jingxie hadn''t shown up today Qie Ranzhe was nning to kidnap him and air everything out into the open knowing that the captive wouldn''t have any means of escape no matter what he said.


    "No.....maybe," replied Wen Qinxi when he realised Qie Ranzhe was staring at him in such way that made him feel like he could clearly see through him, "Okay fine, l am scared who wouldn''t be?" Wen Qinxi chose to speak the truth which Qie Ranzhe had already anticipated. The boy looked sickly pale with a downcast expression as though his entire world came crashing down into rubble.


    The doleful look on Qie Ranzhe''s face was just too unbearable so Wen Qinxi added on saying, "But l know you would never hurt me. I might have been scared of seeing you that angry but l am also confident that you would never hurt me. I will help you manage your anger so you don''t have to worry about it, okay?"


    This statement seemed to bring back some colour on Qie Ranzhe''s face as he rushed in to embrace him again. "Lin Jingxie l like you. Please don''t abandon me," blurted out an emotional Qie Ranzhe in a husky voice. He never meant to confess this early but found himself unable to control his emotions evincing his feelings without thinking. He instantly regretted it just as the words left his mouth but they were already out into the universe and couldn''t be taken back.


    Wen Qinxi''s heart skipped a beat when Qie Ranzhe said that but instantly calmed down when he deciphered what he meant. Based on his knowledge of Qie Ranzhe from the past he deduced the like as the one among friends. Firstly, Qie Ranzhe was as straight as an ironing board though he had both fan girls and fan boys. Secondly, he remembered Qie Ranzhe yelled the same thing in ss to his close friend a couple of times. It was always ''Laozi likes you very much or ''this ancestor loves you to bits'' even for things as simple as buying breakfast though personally at that time he felt it awkward when the boys were saying that to each other.


    Hinging on this he knew the kind of like Qie Ranzhe was referring to and so replied, "l like you too and l would never abandon you. You are stuck with me like white on rice and can''t get rid of me no matter what," with a genuine reassuring smile on his visage.


    "Really?" asked an ecstatic Qie Ranzhe with his brain hovering above seventh Heaven that is before he came crashing down like a spacecraft that suddenly lost fuel while leaving the earth stratosphere. He came crashing down hard with his heart bursting in mes when he realised they were referring to different kinds of like.


    "Do you have to ask me that? You are my friend how can I abandon you?" said Wen Qinxi creating distance between them. With the warmth disappearing from his arms, Qie Ranzhe was disheartened but didn''t attempt to rify as it was clear Lin Jingxie would surely reject him. He seemed stuck in the friend zone and didn''t know how to change the way Lin Jingxie viewed him without going full psycho on him.

 Chapter 60: First World: In-law Wait For Me

    Chapter 60: First World: Inw Wait For Me


    As the boys cleared out their misunderstanding, a wounded Zhao Huangzhi walked back home defeated but rather resilient. The ache in her heart hurt more than the pain she felt from her neck bruise. This kind of pain was so unbearable especially when she recalled how Qie Ranzhe held Lin Jingxie''s hand ever so affectionately.


    This version of Qie Ranzhe could only belong to her, it might not happen now but it was going to happen and she was willing to go through thick and thin for him. She had finally realized the source of her problems and that problem was Lin Jingxie. With Lin Jingxie gone she would be the only one Qie Ranzhe would rely on.


    While she was busy devising long term ns to deal with Lin Jingxie, across town someone was acting against her hindering her sess. Madam Lin was having tea with the nobledies from all around town. This tea party was something they had once every two weeks gathering around to talk about what Madam Lin deemed as nonsense. Instead of a tea party, it should have been called a show-off party where they paraded in their new outfits bragging about their families'' sess.


    Though Madam Lin despised this gathering, this tea party was special because she could finally approach Old Lady Zhao concerning her granddaughter. That girl hung around her boys and went as far as getting them mixed up with bandits. Madam Lin wasn''t stupid, she and her husband hade to the same conclusion as Zhao Huangzhi grandma which was Zhao Huangzhi had something to do with this.


    Nothing like this had ever happened before and Lee Jienjie was a good girl who would never go off on her own without security. All the facts pointed to Zhao Huangzhi and Madam Lin knew the motive as well. Today she chose to take advantage of this tea party to get rid of that girl for good and so waited till the end to approach the olddy.


    Considering their rtionship, it was actually appropriate for Madam Lin to approach her like this and so she did. "Madam Zhao," said Madam Lin catching up with the elder woman before walking side by side, "may l have a word with you?"


    The elder woman could see the stern expression on Madam Lin''s face and gestured with her hand for her servants to fall back. The servants deliberately slowed their footsteps giving the twodies space. "Speak your mind," said Madam Zhao with her hand tightly holding on to her walking cane.


    Madam Lin didn''t hesitate and spoke directly, "It''s about your granddaughter Zhao Huangzhi." Madam Zhao''s expression hardened pondering on what that disrespectful brat had done this time.


    "What about her?" asked a now impatient Madam Zhao.


    "I apologize for being forward but l am fairly certain your granddaughter orchestrated the bandit incident that urred a couple of days ago. I thought it be best to mention it to you so you can restrain her lest she does this again," said Madam Lin expecting Madam Zhao to be stunned or at least defend her granddaughter but the olddy remained silent with a brooding expression.


    She only responded after what seemed like forever saying, "Do you happen to know why she would do such an extreme thing? I know how strong-willed and impulsive she can be. She is usually sensible and wouldn''t do something like this without a reason though her reason might not necessarily be reasonable," said Madam Zhao hoping to finally find out why that silly girl caused trouble. The olddy could no longer face the Lee family though they didn''t know the truth, she knew it and felt guilty.


    "She did it for one of the boys in the shelter, I guess ording to her logic it would make the boy love her more. Unfortunately, her n got my son and Lee Jienjie involved which is why l felt it necessary to let you know," replied Madam Lin hoping to be rid of that troublesome child.


    Madam Zhao wore an apologetic look while saying, "l am sorry for all the trouble she caused. I will make sure to have her sent back to the capital as soon as possible," before taking a few steps forward to leave but soon stopped and turned to her asking, "Who is this boy without a status that had little Huang stupid enough to do such a thing?"


    Madam Lin didn''t think anything of it and replied, "Qie Ranzhe, his name is Qie Ranzhe." Madam Zhao suddenly froze hearing the family name Qie. When the surname Qie was mentioned, all she could think of was the emperor. Her curiosity was peaked, she had to take a look at this child as soon as possible.


    Madam Lin was relieved knowing that Zhao Huangzhi would soon be a thing of the past. She was about to go back into the hall and speak to Madam Lee when she noticed a face she had been running away from for the past few months. That person was none other than Madam Sun, Sun Huxian''s mother. Ever since Lin Jingxie wore that dress in public Madam Sun''s son had be a lovesick fool with no other interests in life except Lin Jingxie.


    Master Lin had already refused Master Sun''s proposal but Madam Sun was relentless always calling Madam Lin inw each time she saw her. Madam Lin turned away hoping Madam Sun hadn''t seen her but boy was she wrong. Madam Sun caught a glimpse of her and called out, "Inw! Inw wait for me!" attracting everyone''s attention.


    Embarrassed to the core, Madam Lin took off running but didn''t anticipate Madam Sun would actually run after her. Though determined Madam Sun was simply no match to Madam Lin, she was like the wind vanishing without a trace. Madam Sun soon gave up yelling, "l know where you live!" before deciding to pass by the market and buy gifts to bribe Madam Lin.

 Chapter 61: First World: Tutor Wen Qinxi

    Chapter 61: First World: Tutor Wen Qinxi


    With everyone having a crappy day or about to have a crappy day, there was one person floating in cloud nine for the entire day and that person was none other than Qie Ranzhe. If one was to describe his mood right now it would that kind of joy after scoring the winning goal in the World Cup finals, simply ecstatic. He had literally spent the entire day either following Lin Jingxie around like a smitten pup or emotionally ckmailed Lin Jingxie to apany him.


    Wen Qinxi had never been this exhausted ever since he stepped into the game. At the rate things were going he would rather be pestered by Sun Huxian than Qie Ranzhe. Whenever he felt like slipping away, Jolie would also show up whispering, ''PTSD is a serious thing boss. You need to show him more love to treat it.''


    ''l am the one who will fuckin end up with PTSD after dealing with this big baby,''ined Wen Qinxi after his third escape attempt. In his defense, Qie Ranzhe was making up for those three days they spent apart choosing to stick to Lin Jingxie like super glue. Wen Qinxi endured like a kid forced by his parent to stay at a y date with his annoying cousin.


    As the golden sun sank into the horizon, Wen Qinxi heaved a sigh of relief and informed Qie Ranzhe who he had been tutoring that he needed to head home but that was all wishful thinking. Qie Ranzhe ced the book they had been studying back on the table and said, "Jin-ge we haven''t practised calligraphy today so you can''t leave yet. l will be joining the guild soon and you yourself said l have to perfect my literacy skills before l enter," brazenly grabbing hold of Lin Jingxie''s wrist.


    Wen Qinxi was dumbfounded thinking, ''This dumbfuck hated learning the most and tried to wiggle out of it by any means necessary now his the one who wants to learn?'' He found himself tongue-tied unable to refute Qie Ranzhe''s words. Because he was lost in thought he didn''t realise how Qie Ranzhe''s hand shamelessly lingered on his wrist. Qie Ranzhe went as far as caressing the wrist in his hand with his thumb in a forbearing manner.


    Wen Qinxi wanted to ask him why the sudden enthusiasm when he felt an unfamiliar warm and fuzzy feeling magically appearing out of thin air. It was a subtle sensorial pleasure but he couldn''t pinpoint the source. That was because he was staring at Qie Ranzhe''s face the entire time and didn''t immediately notice this intimate action.


    His gaze soon fell onto his wrist just in time to see Qie Ranzhe''s thumb rubbing against his skin in slow,forting strokes. This exined were the pleasurable feeling came from jostling him into promptly taking his hand back while saying, "Qie Ranzhe you''re screwing with me right? You always run away from sses but now you are practically begging me to teach you."


    In this moment Wen Qinxi should have been d that Qie Ranzhe was finally taking his studies seriously. But knowing some of the ridiculous things he did to get out of learning, Wen Qinxi couldn''t help but be suspicious. Qie Ranzhe imed to have cramps a couples times and his boys would all vouch for him just to get out of sses. He had used that excuse so many times that Wen Qinxi began to doubt his gender asking Qie Ranzhe if he was having his menstrual cycle. The result of that was Qie Ranzhe almost pulling down his pants to defend his honor and prove he was man.


    Well, that stopped the cramps excuse graduating to his muscles hurt from exercise, saving an olddy''s cat from a tree or that his eyesight wasn''t good. With all these excuses you can understand why Wen Qinxi would be skeptical. With his hand empty, Qie Ranzhe swallowed his disappointment and began to grind some ink in the inkstone before handing over the ink brush to Lin Jingxie.


    "Here Laoshi, write down the characters you would like me to practise," said Qie Ranzhe with a dangerously charming smile that kickstarted Wen Qinxi fragile heart.


    "Fi-fine then l will teach you," said Wen Qinxi with the tips of his ears pinkish red. That smile swiftly brought his defences down to rubble. Unfortunately for Wen Qinxi, he wasn''t immune to it. He took the ink brush and began to write in such an elegant manner as graceful as falling rose petals. Focusing on his task, he knocked on the system''s door asking, ''Jolie, don''t you think Qie Ranzhe is behaving weird?''


    The system didn''t respond immediately that Wen Qinxi almost thought he was being ignored but it eventually spoke asking, "In what way?" Jolie knew Wen Qinxi too well, he was like a pet bird resistant to human touch. You would have to coax it if you ever want to cuddle otherwise it will simply fly away if you put it under pressure. The system had to whitewash the situation otherwise Wen Qinxi might overreact.


    ''I don''t know something just seems o-,'' he paused when he discovered Qie Ranzhe sitting so close to him with his face leaning in closer as though seriously studying what he was writing. They were so close that Wen Qinxi could clearly see Qie Ranzhe''s flickering eyshes in his peripheral view. Wen Qinxi''s heartbeat suddenly picked up for some strange reason. Whatever it was it had Wen Qinxi''s muscles stiffening to the point of almost making a mistake while yelling in his mind. ''Like that! That''s the sort of weird l am talking about,'' he said to Jolie subtly shifting his body further away to create some distance between him and Qie Ranzhe.


    ''You are the one making it weird unless you.....ahem.....are starting to have feelings for our handsome CEO. Its okay, you can admit it to me. I promise l won''t tell any one. I am a super discreet system. I eat discreet for breakfast,'' said the system wishing it had a face to show off its grin while apuding it smart self for choosing psychological warfare.


    Wen Qinxi froze before cursing the system out, ''Fuck off!'' He ced the ink brush into Qie Ranzhe''s hand saying, "Copy it five times," before standing up to calm his restless heart. Qie Ranzhe watched Lin Jingxie''s every action while gawking at him as though looking at a bewitching portrait. Wen Qinxi who had been pouring himself a cup of water all of sudden felt a searing heat boring through his skin like a drill. He curiously turned around only to see Qie Ranzhe not writing but gazing at him with a nk expression. His once decelerating heart rate sped up inciting him to internally reprimand himself, ''What the fuck is wrong with me today?''


    "Still not writing?" asked Wen Qinxi instantly bringing Qie Ranzhe back to earth but his brain seemed a tad bitte as he gave an unintelligent response.


    "Huh?" asked a brainless Qie Ranzhe


    Wen Qinxi didn''t go easy on him saying, "l am going to leave if you don''t finish in five minutes," in a threatening school teacher tone that would have any studentpliant. Qie Ranzhe bowed his head down concentrating on writing. He was done in three minutes handing in his work to Lin Jingxie with an inconspicuous roguish grin.


    Tutor Wen Qinxi''s frown deepened while observing Qie Ranzhe''s handy work wondering if this was as a result of Qie Ranzhe being short of time or out of practice. Qie Ranzhe''s writing seemed to have taken a nose dive right into the pacific ocean. Most of it looked like chicken scratches made by a rooster high on psychedelic drugs and not just any kind of psychedelic drug but LSD. It was so horrible so much so that Wen Qinxi couldn''t help but curse, "What type of shit is this? Are you fuckin with me right now?"

 Chapter 62: First World: Goodnight My Love

    Chapter 62: First World: Goodnight My Love


    Qie Ranzhe looked as innocent as ever just like an angel. "Jin-ge, l can do better, let me try again," he said taking another nk paper to redo the work. Wen Qinxi carefully observed him making sure he was being serious and it seemed so. Qie Ranzhe really looked like he was pouring out his heart on the paper paying attention to detail. Though better, his calligraphy was still nowhere close to his previous work before the bandit incident.


    What Wen Qinxi didn''t know was that he was dealing with an expert wolf well versed in dressing up like a sheep and innocently mingle with the flock. In fact, Qie Ranzhe''s literacy skills were hand in hand with Lin Jingxie''s but he concealed it on purpose for certain benefits which would be clear soon enough.


    A frustrated Wen Qinxi made him redo it again but the results slightly worsened. Unwilling to spend the whole night doing this, he moved behind Qie Ranzhe and held his hand guiding him to write down the characters the right way. Wen Qinxi was kneeling with his chest pressed against Qie Ranzhe''s shoulder with their faces so close that their cheeks lightly brushed against each other.


    Qie Ranzhe suppressed a smile by biting his lips pretending to focus on Wen Qinxi''s guidance. He fully indulged in his shamelessness with the warmth from Lin Jingxie infusing with his skin through the fabric. An intoxicating wave of euphoric sensations flowed to all his nerve endings causing his body temperature to rise. His lower half was inevitably stimted itching to bully Lin Jingxie to his heart''s content. Qie Ranzhe thoroughly enjoyed their intimacy as Lin Jingxie lingered for a long time with their hands joined together while motioning in a sophisticated manner leaving behind beautiful characters created by both of them. In his moment of ecstasy, he made a decision to frame this piece of paper as a reminder of the first time Lin Jingxie willingly held hands with him.


    While one was having obscene thoughts, Wen Qinxi was fully focused on teaching him. He only lingered because Qie Ranzhe had got most of the characters wrong. Wen Qinxi carefully guided his hand through more than half of them like an excellent tutor. If he knew what his filthy student was thinking he would have hit Qie Ranzhe with a book by now. This cycle went on two more times till Qie Ranzhe showed signs of improvement. They finally stopped but by the time they were done,it was already sote that Qie Ranzhe urged Lin Jingxie to sleep-over. Knowing Master Lin''s strict rules, Wen Qinxi naturally agreed as it was better than being punished.


    As soon as Wen Qinxiy his head down his brain slowly shut down drifting off to sleep but a stimted Qie Ranzhe wasn''t sleepy in the slightest and decided to bother Lin Jingxie instead. Qie Ranzhe turned on his side while annoyingly poking Lin Jingxie''s back. Wen Qinxi who was poked to the point of exploding turned to face him with heavy-lidded eyes asking, "What now?"


    "l need your advice," said Qie Ranzhe dazed by the cute Lin Jingxie with the moonlight reflecting on his porcin jade-like skin. Under the starry night, Lin Jingxie looked as elegant as a sleeping beauty he desperately wanted to ravage.


    "Ask," replied Wen Qinxi rubbing his eyes to keep awake.


    "How do l get someone to like me? l am asking for Machu?" he asked throwing Machu under the bus.


    Wen Qinxi pursed his lips thinking before giving him an honest answer, "He should just tell the girl straight up thats usually effective."


    Qie Ranzhe shook his head while saying, "He already tried but was misunderstood and its not a girl but a guy he likes," rifying Manchu''s non-existant love interest.


    Wen Qinxi''s eyes widened, if he wasn''t awake then he was fully awake now. "Wow Machu actually likes a guy? Who is it tell me?" asked a giddy Wen Qinxi lurching closer to hear the juicy gossip. He was now at arms length inching even closer the longer Qie Ranzhe kept silent.


    Seeing that Lin Jingxie had stopped moving, Qie Ranzhe curled his index finger urging him toe closer. Wen Qinxi didn''t even think twice and moved his ear closer like a dumb turkey willingly offering itself up for Thanksgiving dinner. Qie Ranzhe propped his body up with his elbow and leaned in close to Lin Jingxie''s ear. "Its a secret. He told me not to tell anyone so l can''t tell you," he whispered with his lips touching Lin Jingxie''s ear for a brief moment. Whether it was in purpose or idental will let the audience decide.


    Wen Qinxi frowned when he realised he had been lured into a trap. His senstive ear was suddenly itchy and hot stimting his otherwise docile senses. He red at Qie Ranzhe who was hovering above his face with a sly grin and pushed him away yelling, "Jerk."


    Qie Ranzhe was satisfied simply allowing his body to fall back at Lin Jingxie''s weak shove. He chortled lightly before saying, "Am serious though. Its eating him up inside. He has run out of ideas," with his handzily covering his eyes.


    Wen Qinxi was not an expert when it came to rtionships but tried to put himself in Machu''s shoes before saying, "When ites to guys liking guys its a bit tricky. Machu is better of trying the roundabout way otherwise he risks being reject and losing the person entirely," adjusting his sleeping posture. Qie Ranzhey on his side facing Lin Jingxie listening carefully.


    "If it was me, l would deduce if there any possibility for the guy to be bent. For instance his attitude towards same-sex couples or how he reacts to different sexual preferences. If his disgusted or rude then his not worth my time. The next step would be to infiltrate his life till his emotionally dependent on me. By the time the victim realizes what happened, it would be irreversible. It''s all about strategy. Though there is no guarantee it would work at least it increases my odds," continued Wen Qinxi with his heavy eyes slowly closing.


    Qie Ranzhe pondered over his words for a long time while staring at the peaceful Lin Jingxie. He engraved this enchanting image into his heart before saying, "Then wish me luck," to a sleeping Lin Jingxie. He ced his soft lips on Lin Jingxie''s forehead whispering, "Goodnight my love."

 Chapter 63: First World: Nerds Fighting Over Cookies

    Chapter 63: First World: Nerds Fighting Over Cookies


    Sleep paralysis is a temporary condition where you wake up from slumber unable to move or talk and Wen Qinxi thought he was experiencing this phenomenon when he suddenly woke up feeling constricted and immotile. Agitated, Wen Qinxi tried to lift his body but couldn''t as a wave of prickly heat swept his underarms.


    "Shit!" he cursed but was startled when he realised he could actually speak. When he had sleep paralysis before he could neither move nor speak. Undoubtfully flummoxed, he turned his head to the side only to find the reason why he couldn''t move. Qie Ranzhe''s two limbs were wrapped around him like an octopus wounding around him like a bower constrictor tenderising its soon-to-be feast.


    Frustrated, Wen Qinxi couldn''t go back to sleep so to pass-time he decided to chit chat with the guys in the game room. It would at least serve as a diversion from Qie Ranzhe''s tranquil handsome face lying on the same pillow as him. ''Jolie, initiatemunication channel passcode qieranzheisajerk,'' said a motionless Wen Qinxi in his mind.


    As soon as themunication channel opened, his mind was flooded with two men quarreling over something so stupid. "You fucker ate all my cookies. Do you know who gave me these?" yelled Hei Bao who is normally passive. Even if you take food that his about to ce in his mouth, he never got angry. Let''s just say, no matter how much Xia Bai bullied him he would neverin but today he actually got mad over cookies.


    Xia Bai was sitting in his swivel office chairnguidly chewing thest cookie with a guileful smile. "l know so what? Tell her to bake two batches next time. Doesn''t she know they are two handsome geniuses in the team unless she likes you and excluded me on purpose. Wait... were they confession cookies?" said Xia Bai with thest part spoken with disingenuous concern. Hei Bao was so angry he could flip a table over a couple of times.


    "So what if she likes me? She''s pretty and nice, what''s wrong with her liking me? You....you are such an asshole!" he yelled cursing out the devil that had just eaten all his cookies.


    Wen Qinxi felt a headache creeping up on him so he decide to interject saying, ''Guys y-,'' before both of them rudely cut him off.


    "WHAT!" said both Xia Bai and Hei Bao looking at the screen.


    Wen Qinxi, "....." The douchebags actually dared to yell at him. ''You fuckin disrespectful brats. You still dare eat in the game room! What''s so fuckin special about those damn cookies that you have to disrespect this ancestor. Yo-________,'' the rest wasn''t heard with the Xia Bai brazenly muting themunication channel.


    The two men looked at each for a second before Hei Bao asked, "He''s really pissed off this time, isn''t he?" looking pensive.


    "Yep," replied Xia Bai feeling that the empty cookie tin was suddenly getting hot under his fingertips. He gave the cookie tin to Hei Bao before saying, "Don''t ept cookies from her anymore. They were a little salty. I will make you better cookies," with a nk expression.


    "Dage," said Hei Bao taking the tin from him with a baffled expression, "Do you even know how to make instant noodles?"


    Xia Bai nced over the screen while saying, "For you, l will learn plus l think l can do a better job than her. She didn''t even do research otherwise she would have known that you don''t like ginger cookies. If l were her l would have made you some macaroons," in a natural tone as though knowing Hei Bao''s favorite cookies was nothing.


    Hei Bao was dumbfounded hearing this but soon rxed when he remembered that one of their after-work escapades involved eating together so its no surprise Xia Bai knew his favourite cookies. He was about to tell him not to bother himself with it when Xia Bai unmuted themunication channel but were met with this, ''-ssholes. You think l won''t fine you? This emperor will teach you mann______,'' which led him to mute Wen Qinxi again.


    Hei Bao, "..."


    Xia Bai, "....."


    "I guess he haven''t cooled down let''s give him sometime," said Hei Bao walking to his bag before stuffing the cookie tin that had started this wild fire into his bag. Out of sight out of mind. Wen Qinxi really had a short fuse and yelled for fifteen minutes straight. Jolie who was hanging around couldn''t take it any more wishing it had ears so it could block out the yelling with some earplugs.


    Wen Qinxi soon calmed down and everything went back to normal as they resumed their chit chat. "Wen Qinxi, your little brother came over today to see you. I told him he can visit you after his clearance is approved. He will have ess by next week," said Xia Bai squeezing a Hello Kitty shaped anti-stress ball which Hei Bao always found hrious. A grown man held a cute Hello Kitty anti-stress ball which was a gift from his younger sister.


    Hearing this Wen Qinxi was about to thank him but had a sudden glint of inspiration and tried to figure out other people''s reactions to what Qie Ranzhe said to him earlier. He replied saying, ''Thanks Xia Bai for this. This is why l like you,'' while listening closely to hear his response. He wished he could see his face so as to gauge his reaction but could only rely on minute changes in his voice.


    "l like you too," said Xia Bai in a calm collect tone as though unfazed.


    ''Huh,'' said Wen Qinxi but he still wasn''t satisfied by his research so he said the same thing to Hei Bao, ''Bao Bao l like you.''


    "Aww that so sweet l like you too," said a giddy Hei Bao.


    Unexpectedly Xia Bai red at him saying, "You don''t have to be that excited," before turning his face back to the anti-stress ball in his hand.


    The system, "..." while watching such a scene thinking, ''Fuckinb rats with redundant EQs. What do they know?''

 Chapter 64: First World: The Shameless Wen Qi Junior

    Chapter 64: First World: The Shameless Wen Qi Junior


    Satisfied by his research a sleepy Wen Qinxi cut the call with his mind at ease. Guys could say that to each other with no odd intentions. Growing up most of his friends were online acquaintances that he met once or twice. He barely had any physical interactions socked experience when it came to such boundaries among friends.


    "See you were overthinking it. I might not be human but l do have a clear understanding of human emotion. Focus on helping Qie Ranzhe pass this world, not these trivial matters," said the system hoping Wen Qinxi would buy its bullshit and expel any doubts.


    ''Seriously, do l look like l was overthinking? l used to say it to my friends all the time so why would I overthink it,'' replied Wen Qinxi lying through his teeth. He didn''t want to seem backward or old-fashioned.


    "Sure, sure boss," said Jolie agreeing with him but it knew Wen Qinxi''s full history choosing not to expose him.


    ''Though l wish he wouldn''t hug me this tight,'' said Wen Qinxi trying to escape from the octopus'' tentacles.


    "PTSD, show more love," said the system overying that card.


    ''Piss off! PTSD my ass," replied Wen Qinxi still struggling to free himself from Qie Ranzhe without waking him up. Since Wen Qinxi said piss off the system really pissed off leaving its helpless boss struggling like a mouse caught in a mousetrap.


    Wen Qinxi thought that things couldn''t get moreplicated than this but boy was he wrong. Because he scuffled so much Qie Ranzhe face was now touching his ear that if he turned his face slightly his nose would collide into Qie Ranzhe''s cheek. "Shit!" he cursed in a muffled voice while trying to shift his face away with his neck tilted in an awkward away but holding that posture was so painful that he wanted to cry.


    He had no choice but to return his head to its original position. Just when he sumbed to his fate anotherplication arose which was Qie Ranzhe''s warm breath tickling his ear with each rhythmic exhale. It was then that he realised things had graduated from bad to worse as he swore under his breath. Wen Qinxi tried to find the system to at least distract his mind from the strangely enjoyable sensation with a movie but that system never reappeared.


    He silently endured but without warning, the situation upgraded again from worse to tragic. To Wen Qinxi''s astonishment under the constant provocation by a sleeping Qie Ranzhe, his brainless member down below chose the wrong time to rise to the asion slowly ascending like fermenting bread dough. Wen Qinxi watched with wide eyes as the shameless Wen Qi junior stiffly stood in attention forming a familiar peak.


    ''What the fuck! Go down you fuckin idiot. You are getting hard over such a small thing? Does it look like there are any pretty girls here jerkass?'' he scolded his embarrassing boner but in response, the junior began to involuntary twitch on its own as though mocking him.


    Wen Qinxi, "...." dumbstruck. The more Qie Ranzhe''s warm breath grazed his ear, the redder it became inciting the release of feel-good hormones all over his body. Wen Qinxi was in disbelief he didn''t know a guy could get turned on by another even though his straight, well, at least that''s what he thought. This was too overwhelming for him so he decided to wake Qie Ranzhe so he could release him otherwise Wen Qinxi wouldn''t be able to sleep tonight.


    "Qie Ranzhe," called out Wen Qinxi while shaking him but Qie Ranzhe didn''t respond. He called out a couple more times vigorously shaking him to no avail. Just when he was about to give up, Qie Ranzhe finally moved his head away saying, "Be good stop making trouble," without even opening his eyes.


    Wen Qinxi sighed in relief when the source of his provocation was cut off. His relief didn''tst long as the situation kicked up a notch transcending from tragic to torment. Qie Ranzhe shifted his left leg that was originally wrapped around Wen Qinxi''s knees moving it up to his groin. Wen Qinxi''s body temperature soared up to unprecedented levels giving off a feverish illusion. He was hysterical with his entire body covered in sweat and heart beating so fast as though it was going to burst out of his chest at a moment''s notice.


    While he was having a panic attack his junior member was ecstatic as though it had received a drop of water after a long gruesome drought. His ashamed face was as red as a ripe cherry as pre-cum seeped out dampening his pants. In his entire existence, Wen Qinxi had never been this humiliated before.


    He tried to wiggle his body upwards to free Wen Qi junior currently trapped under Qie Ranzhe''s inner thigh but his subtle movements aggravated his member even more and the result, well, let''s not further humiliate him by saying it.


    Oh, what the heck, we are all adults so I will say it. Wen Qinxi reached his peak of ecstasy with his entire body convulsing in unparalleled pleasure. His climax was so intense that he had to bury his head into the pillow so as to muffle the uncontroble gruff moan escaping his throat.


    Wen Qinxi spent the entire night in his wet pants feeling extremely ufortable with his redden eyes wide open. Qie Ranzhe eventually moved as soon as the sun peeked from the horizon. That movement was enough to allow Wen Qinxi to escape with great difficulty. He literally wiggled out of Qie Ranzhe''s arms falling onto the ground with a loud thud that was loud enough to wake the dead.


    Wen Qinxi groaned in pain while lifting his body from the floor. Qie Ranzhe was woken up by the sudden sound of a person''s body mming hard against the floor and sat up looking down with his eyes filled with concern for Lin Jingxie. "Jin-ge are you okay," he said about to get off the bed to help him up.


    ncing over the suspicious wet patch on his pants, Wen Qinxi froze yelling, "Don''t," with his hand gesturing for him to stay away. Qie Ranzhe couldn''t see anything apart from Lin Jingxie on all fours with his butt facing him. The view was so provocative that he couldn''t resist stretching his hand to give Lin Jingxie''s ass a gentle squeeze but soon retracted his hand when he came back to his senses.


    With a grimace on his face, Wen Qinxi stood up and awkwardly walked as straight as a board towards his neatly folded outer garment. He only eased up his tense muscles when he was fully clothed instantly calming his erratic heart. He turned to look at Qie Ranzhe saying, "This is thest time we share a bed. You are fuckin octopus," before walking out not even caring about his dishevelled hair.


    Qie Ranzhe who had just been scolded early in the morning by Lin Jingxiey back down wondering what he had done that was so bad to have his sleepover privileges revoked. It''s only after a while that he noticed his pants on his inner thigh was slightly wet. Curious he used his finger to scrap the minuscule fluid and smelt it. In shock, Qie Ranzhe swore, "Fuck!" realising what it was. After all, he was a man and could easily recognize that scent. Hey back down with a subtle smile biting his lower lip filled with mixed feelings.


    "I can''t believe I slept through an exciting event," he said closing his eyes while perversely sniffing the intoxicating scent like an addict.

 Chapter 65: First World: Doting On His Best Friend

    Chapter 65: First World: Doting On His Best Friend


    After the unfortunate embarrassing incident, Wen Qinxi kept his word never sleeping over in Qie Ranzhe''s room ever again. The first few days he had awkwardly distanced himself from Qie Ranzhe running off before the man had a chance to even open his mouth. At first, Qie Ranzhe found the bashful Lin Jingxie adorable but the more Lin Jingxie ran the more anxious he became. If this was to be a thing, he didn''t know how he was going to solve it.


    Wen Qinxi only returned to normal when Jolie pointed out his suspicious behaviour. It didn''t know why Wen Qinxi was suddenly acting like a girl who had her feelings rejected by her crush choosing to run off whenever they met. If this carried on Qie Ranzhe will naturally be curious and interrogate Wen Qinxi. An inquisitive Qie Ranzhe was Wen Qinxi''s bane, the guy wouldn''t stop nagging till he got the truth out of a defenceless Wen Qinxi. The nerd could only be grateful that Qie Ranzhe slept like a dead log otherwise he would have witnessed such shameful event making him lose face.


    That statement alone had Wen Qinxi returning to his usual self no longer feeling as humiliated as before, vowing to take that secret to his grave. Seeing Lin Jin finally willing to face him, Qie Ranzhe was relieved though he still felt a sense of loss missing out on such a major event. He swallowed down his disappointmentforting himself that they would plenty of opportunities in the future. He aggressively initiated the very same n Lin Jingxie gave him going all out without holding back. He basically grew roots in Lin Jingxie''s life in such an uncanny way that only Lin Mingxu out of the entire Lin Mansion noticed.


    Everyone else in the Lin family just took it as Qie Ran doting on his best friend. This illusion meant they naturally didn''t oppose especially Master Lin as he knew Qie Ranzhe''s true identity. Lin Mingxu helplessly watched as his older brother was slowly lured into the devil''s snare. He had been deterred from exposing the predator Qie Ranzhe who had threatened to air out his dirtyundry for Lin Jingxie to see. This dirtyundry would surely have him disowned by his own brother as he was the one who incited Madam Lin to bring bridal candidates to pressurize Lin Jingxie.


    Just like a cornered poodle, he could only watch a rottweiler confiscate his favourite bone. Though trapped in his own man-made pit, he had to apud Qie Ranzhe''s courting skills. If his older brother was a girl, he was fairly certain Lin Jingxie would have fallen head over heels by now.


    Qie Ran was like an ideal ''boyfriend'' that is in Lin Mingxu eyes but ideal ''friend'' in the eyes of the rest of Lin Mansion. He constantly defended Lin Jingxie whenever he got into trouble instantly pacifying Master Lin. Not only that he also shared the burden of whatever punishment designated to Lin Jingxie. He was extremely obedient listening attentively when Lin Jingxie tutored him which was almost every single night.


    Sometimes he would go into the forest bringing back Lin Jingxie''s favourite fruits, washed them and ced them in his room to surprise him. Whatever Lin Jingxie wanted Qie Ranzhe would make it happen with a heartwarming smile on his face. A spoilt Wen Qinxi didn''t think much of it enjoying being doted upon by his boss. The system once walked in only to find Qie Ranzhe hard at work massaging Wen Qinxi''s feet. The idiot even went as far as bragging saying, ''Look Jolie I wiggled out a massage from the overbearing CEO. Hahaha, can you imagine that happening in the real world?'' with a radiant expression feeling himself.


    ''Tsk, tsk, tsk you will regret it,'' said Jolie silently lighting a candle for its dense creator.


    At that time Wen Qinxi''s response was, ''Regret it? Ha.....what can he do to me? Fire me? By the time I get out of this game I would be a billionaire, let him fire me if he wants."


    The system replied while shaking its invisible head, ''Who said you will lose your job? Let me enjoy watching you willingly put your chryresanthemum at risk,'' with thest part said in an inaudible whisper before vanishing from this unappealing scene.


    ''What asked,'' asked Wen Qinxi but the system had already performed a splendid disappearing act like the magician Harry Houdini. He shrugged his shoulders brushing off the jealous system.


    These weren''t the only benefits Wen Qinxi milked out of Qie Ranzhe. Whenever Qie Ranzhe joined the Lin house for a meal he would always pick Lin Jingxie''s favourite dishes cing them in his bowl. This left Master Lin disgruntled because both he and his son loved scallion ginger shrimp and Peking duck which meant each time they had these dishes a huge portion went into Lin Jingxie''s mouth. Madam Lin noticed Qie Ranzhe barely ate focusing on fattening up their gluttonous son. She tried to intervene by cing food into his bowl but if it was anything that Lin Jingxie liked it would automatically be transferred into her son''s te.


    She couldn''t voice her concern in front of Qie Ranzhe so could only re at Lin Jingxie with a ''fuckin refuse his offer'' expression but it simply had no effect on him. In his defence, Wen Qinxi was willing to eat because he knew no matter how much he ate in the game he obviously wouldn''t gain weight. So the nerd indulged oblivious to a certain game setting that would actually cause the character to gain weight ording to their in-game diet.


    He didn''t know about this because he only designed the game operating software not the minor details like storylines or designing of the actual worlds. So he was fed by Qie Ranzhe till the day he made a shocking discovery.


    While bathing, Wen Qinxi noticed a little tubby protruding from his once t tummy. He tried sucking it in but that pouch was not going anywhere. He swore, "Shit!" while hastily putting on his pants and robe before running back to his room to look in the mirror.

 Chapter 66: First World: Take Responsibility

    Chapter 66: First World: Take Responsibility


    Qie Ranzhe who had been practising some characters assigned to him by Lin Jingxie was startled when Lin Jingxie walked in with a half closed robe exposing part of his milky-white corbone and smooth chest while rushing towards the bronze mirror. Wen Qinxi uncaringly removed the robe letting it slip off his body onto the floor while carefully studying his frame.


    Witnessing such a sensual scene, Qie Ranzhe gulped but it didn''t seem to help alleviate the dry desert in his throat. He was inevitably bewitched causing him to draw a crude line on what should have been a masterpiece. Qie Ranzhe ogled at him in a daze not sure if this was a good or bad thing. Lin Jingxie was like a swirl rainbow lollipop disyed at the window of a candy store unting its alluring colors in front of a six-year-old. Like the six-year-old with candy, he craved for Lin Jingxie but couldn''t touch him separated by the disy ss.


    "That''s fucked up!" yelled Wen Qinxi looking at that little pouch that followed him into the game, "I gained weight...ah so fuckin annoying." He lowered his pants a little exposing more of his abdomen only stopping just below his prominent V-line.


    "l....um.....l-l think you ar-," stammered a stupefied Qie Ranzhe with the tip of his ears bright red that was before Wen Qinxi cut him off in an usatory tone.


    "This all your fault," said Wen Qinxi looking right at him fully exposing his half-naked body for Qie Ranzhe to see. "What? You not going to take responsibility," he said moving closer for the culprit to see his handy work, "look at me l am getting fat."


    Qie Ranzhe was unresponsive seeming to have lost his voice. Seeing how Qie Ranzhe was not saying anything Wen Qinxi thought he couldn''t see the tiny pouch and so took Qie Ranzhe''s hand and ced it on his belly saying, "Feel that? Thats all the shrimp you fed me. Its a fuckin pouch Qie Ranzhe."


    Qie Ranzhe''s palm felt so hot with heart pulsing at light speed even through his palm. The longer his hand lingered on that smooth soft skin, the greater the urge to explore South of the boarder. His hand unconsciously moved a little lower with his body turning feverish. If it wasn''t for his strong will-power he would have push down this naive schr.


    With his lower half issuing warning signals, Qie Ranzhe abruptly stood up muttering, "l am sorry," in a hoarse voice before running out of that room as fast as lightning. He even bumped into Lin Mingxu on his way out and apologized which was unlike him at all.


    Lin Mingxu watched a flushed Qie Ranzhe run off like the wind and shook his head in astonishment. He soon understood why Qie Ranzhe was like that. A shirtless Lin Jingxie was holding the paper Qie Ranzhe had been working on yelling after him, "Qie Ranzhe you jerk! You are running off because you screwed up the assignment l gave you. Will see how long you can hide from me!"


    Lin Mingxu ran over to Lin Jingxie with a disapproving look. He reprimanded his brother while covering him with the robe that had been tossed on the floor. "Jin-ge you should cover up. Why are you prancing around naked? This is not a brothel," he said taking the paper from him before wrapping him tight like a swaddled newborn.


    Wen Qinxi was baffled looking at him with a ''what the fuck'' expression. "Do l look like l have boobs? I can even walk out of the gate shirtless if l want to."


    A defeated Lin Mingxu felt like he was protecting a frivolous sister with no moralpass. Knowing how stubborn Lin Jingxie was, he decided to use an underhanded method to dissuade him running around shirtless again. "No one wants to see those man boobs and that fatty pouch of yours so cover-up!" he yelled while fixing Lin Jin''s cor.


    Wen Qinxi was actually nowhere near that and the so-called pouch was really tiny but Lin Mingxu chose this method to stop his brother from undressing in front Qie Ranzhe. This behaviour was an obvious short cut to Lin Jingxie getting his cherry popped by that hungry wolf that''s why he used those harsh words.


    Having touched his sore spot Wen Qinxi was unforgiving yelling, "You disrespectful brat, l give you two seconds to get out or you will regret it!" in a menacing tone but Lin Mingxu was slow to react. Two secondster Wen Qinxi dragged him out of his room by his ear. His throbbing ear was scarlet red by the time Lin Jingxie let go.


    When Qie Ranzhe came back an hourter that is after dousing himself in cold water, he found Lin Mingxu pitifully rubbing his ear while sitting outside Lin Jingxie''s room with the door closed shut. He couldn''t help but ask, "What happened to you?" so he would enter Lin Jingxie''s room with caution.


    With a sullen expression, he mumbled, "l called him fat." Qie Ranzhe couldn''t stop a quip grin from creeping up his face.


    He disingenuously pat Lin Mingxu''s shoulder before opening the door only to have the silly kid follow behind him. Wen Qinxi saw Lin Mingxu sneakily follow behind Qie Ranzhe entering his room and said, "Since you are in cahoots then stay outside the both of you," dismissing both of them.


    At first, they thought Lin Jingxie was joking but soon discovered how serious he was when he ran them both out and shut the door with a loud bang. The two dejected men sat outside waiting for Lin Jingxie to calm down. A bored Lin Mingxu turned to look at Qie Ranzhe asking, "Since we are already here, do you want to y a game?"


    Qie Ranzhe was upset as he had just been thrown out and needed an outlet to vent his frustration so he shook his head saying, "I don''t want to y a game. How about we wrestle?" with a domineering stare that pressured Lin Mingxu into agreeing. That day Lin Mingxu got his ass kicked ultimately learning his lesson. Under no circumstances would he ever wrestle Qie Ranzhe ever again.

 Chapter 67: First World: Doting Husband

    Chapter 67: First World: Doting Husband


    A pampered Wen Qinxi had had the most fun during this period, Qie Ranzhe was like a genie granting his every wish without him even asking. Sometimes he felt so bad and would try to refuse but Qie Ranzhe was dead set on doing things for him. He soon got used to being doted upon brushing it off as the teenager showing gratitude for everything he did for him. What Wen Qinxi didn''t realise was that he was gradually forming a cavernous dependence on Qie Ranzhe both physically and emotionally that wouldn''t be easy to rid off in the future.


    Being treated this way, Wen Qinxi now understood why Li Menxie and other women in the office were willing to betray each just to grasp Qie Ranzhe''s attention. He took the time to acknowledge the reason why Li Menxie didn''t hesitate throwing him under the bus when he was caught by Qie Ranzhe under her desk, the woman had to do whatever it takes to sink her ws in this seemingly aloof CEO with a big heart. It wasn''t just his looks that drove them insane. These women seemed to know a secret that most guys are oblivious to. Qie Ranzhe might look cold and unapproachable from the outside but he treated the ones close to him exceptionally well.


    He was exceptionally gifted and well-deserving of the title doting husband. This version of Qie Ranzhe was so heartwarming and sweet capable of melting any woman''s heart but Wen Qinxi couldn''t help but wonder why Zhao Huangzhi in the real world dumped such an awesome man. She had an all-ess pass to all this, an ess pass plenty of girls could only dream of but she chose to ruthlessly throw it out.


    Wen Qinxi shook his head in dissatisfaction while slouching like a salted fish in a chair waiting for Qie Ranzhe toe out. In a few days, Qie Ranzhe would be having his entrance exam which would determine whether he will be epted into the guild or not. Like a father sending his kid to first grade, he couldn''t let Qie Ranzhe go without buying him new sets of clothes. After days of coaxing, Qie Ranzhe finally agreed thinking that Lin Jingxie would buy one or two garments but boy was he wrong.


    A captivating and devastatingly handsome young man finally emerged from the backroom of the tailor shop hypnotising the entire shop. Faced with such a prepossessing deity, the shop keeper''s daughter shrieked with a face as red as a tomato and beaming eyes that could be mistaken for a white water lily blooming at the break of dawn. Both the shop keeper and Wen Qinxi simultaneously looked in her direction dumbstruck by her odd behaviour.


    Being looked at like that, she timidly covered her mouth and slowly squatted behind the counter restraining her excitement. In all this, Qie Ranzhe had his eyes fixed on Lin Jingxie like a puppy impatiently waiting for his master topliment him. If he had a tail it would have been wagging all over the ce with excitement. He was wearing a high-quality vantack robe with a string embroidery of a golden phoenix in the front and a ck and gold leather belt bringing the look together. On his wrist, he wore a dazzling yet domineering charcoal ck leather bracers embroidered with gold mes. Qie Ranzhe could be described as a menacing yet splendorous awe-inspiring masterpiece just like the unattainable lightening.


    Wen Qinxi was impressed, the tailor paid attention to his words creating a venomous yet charming outfit well-matched with Qie Ranzhe''s personality. He stood up and ambled around Qie Ranzhe with his eyes scrutinizing the tailor''s handiwork. Lin Jingxie''s actions made Qie Ranzhe nervous unable to discern how his crush felt about the way he looked as the guy hadn''t uttered a single word.


    Unaware of how nerve-wracked Qie Ranzhe was, Wen Qinxi silently continued scrutinising him till he stopped right in front of Qie Ranzhe with his eyes fixed on the out of ce hairpin holding Qie Ranzhe''s hair up. The shop keeper sensed his concern and wordlessly handed him a vantack hair tie with faint gold string embroidery. Qie Ranzhe was too absorbed in Lin Jingxie''s charming visage that he didn''t realise when Lin Jingxie suddenly stood on his tippy toes removing the only thing that had been holding his silky strands together.


    Like a graceful waterfall, Qie Ranzhe''s hair flowed down covering his entire face but that was the least of his concerns. Lin Jingxie was dangerously leaning close to him with his slender sweet-smelling neck in Qie Ranzhe''s full view calling for him to have a taste. Qie Ranzhe had to tightly clench his sweaty palms with his nails digging deep into his skin to keep himself from grabbing Lin Jingxie''s waist drawing his neck closer to take a nibble. With his body temperature skyrocketing Qie Ranzhe froze in ce letting the man do whatever he pleased.


    Wen Qinxi smiled at the exceptionally obedient CEO and carefully fiddled with his hair tying it into a youthful half ponytail. The youth looked especially dashing leaving behind his boyish look turning into a noble prince. Wen Qinxi slid his hands down against either side of Qie Ranzhe''s arms as he settled his heels back on the ground saying, "Nice."


    Qie Ranzhe felt his cheeks burn up after beingplimented by Lin Jingxie and chose to look away otherwise he might sell himself out. He didn''t really care about trivial matters like clothes but if it made Lin Jingxie happy, he would dly assume the role of a dress-up barbie. His little bubble soon burst when he heard Lin Jingxie barking out an order, "pack up the rest and take it to the carriage outside, he doesn''t need to try them all."


    A wide-eyed Qie Ranzhe stood behind Lin Jingxie cing his hand on his shoulder before whispering something. Because Wen Qinxi couldn''t hear what he was saying, he leaned backwards with his eyes fixed on the shop employees packing up a wooden chest with clothes. "This isn''t necessary l can always wear my other clothes and reserve this one for special asions," whispered Qie Ranzhe with his lips almost touching Wen Qinxi''s earlobe.


    Wen Qinxi furrowed his brows once that gentle warmth tickled his sensitive ear instantly reminding him of that embarrassing night. In a slick manner, he removed Qie Ranzhe''s hand and walked forward saying, "No, l had Machu get rid of your other clothes. You aren''t joining the guild wearing old clothes," before following behind the man painstakingly carrying the chest out of the shop. When noticed that Qie Ranzhe wasn''t following behind him, Wen Qinxi turned around asking, "Aren''t youing?" with an inquisitive look.


    "No, you can go ahead. l have something l need to do," he said with an unreadable expression. Wen Qinxi didn''t question him any further and shrugged his shoulders before leaving the shop heading for the shelter.

 Chapter 68: First World: Twin Jade Pendants

    Chapter 68: First World: Twin Jade Pendants


    Having his old clothes confiscated, Qie Ranzhe was left with no choice but to pace through the boisterous market in his eye-catching outfit. As a striking young man dressed in aristocratic clothes, it was only natural that he would attract unnecessary attention where ever he went. Who could me these amused onlookers when such a dazzling nobleman had graced them with his presence.


    Whispers were going around with others trying to guess which prestigious family he hailed from. Some believed he was one of the visiting guild members who had recentlye to town scouting for new recruits. None of them could recognize the ruffian leader who had wreaked havoc in the market once or twice.


    He felt their curious gaze burrowing through his skin but Qie Ranzhe didn''t seem to care with his mind adrift. Ever since he developed a close rtionship with Lin Jingxie, the boy had taken it upon himself to provide for him and his boys which he was extremely grateful for. Qie Ranzhe knew he could never repay him for his kindness as he owned nothing of great importance.


    He could only offer his life to Lin Jingxie pledging to be by his side and take care of him for the rest of their lives. This is why he had a burning desire to work hard and climb ranks in the guild so as to attain enough power to protect the love of his life. For now, he could only offer Lin Jingxie a hetian phoenix carved jade pendant hanging on two separate ck string.


    Qie Ranzhe had noticed Lin Jingxie seemed to have a thing for the ming phoenix judging from the sword he gifted to him which his why he chose a phoenix carving. This pendant was special because it could be separated into two halves. The one half was for Lin Jingxie and he would keep the other half for himself that way Lin Jingxie would always remember him whenever he looked at that pendant while they''re apart.


    This piece of jewellery was too expensive for Qie Ranzhe so he asked Master Lin if he could work at one of his rice fields to earn some money for the pendant. Master Lin was initially horrified refusing to make him work saying whatever Qie Ranzhe needed he will get it for him. How could he make a prince work for him? Wasn''t that courting death?


    But Master Lin had no choice but to concede when he realised how stubborn Qie Ranzhe was. He agreed to it under one condition which was that Qie Ranzhe should never snitch on him in the future and only speak good things about him when he gets to the capital. Qie Ranzhe was just d he agreed hastily promising while ignoring Master Lin''s nonsense.


    Ignoring all the stares and whispers, he finally reached the stall he was looking for. The highly skilled old man currently carving something that looked like a half-done fish raised his head when he heard Qie Ranzhe calling to him. He instantly recognized the voice but faced with avishly dressed nobleman he couldn''t help but be confused. He squinted his cataract filled eyes to look closely at the somewhat familiar face. Unable to match the voice with the face he expected he finally said, "How may l help you kind sir?" while wiping the dust off his wrinkled shaky hands.


    "I have a lot of carvings you might be interested in. Look at this one, how about this one?" he rambled on advertising his magnificent work.


    Qie Ranzhe saw the old man running out of breath chattering non-stop and couldn''t bear it any longer. He stopped him saying, "Old Tang, it''s me Qie Ranzhe. l came to pick up the pendants," with his hands stretched out gesturing for him to calm down. He couldn''t help but wonder if his change in appearance was that drastic that people couldn''t even recognize him.


    It took him ages to convince the old man with poor eyesight that he was Qie Ranzhe. Only then did the man present him the gorgeous jade pendants that almost brought Qie Ranzhe to tears. He grinned like a Cheshire cat while gently caressing the twin pendants with his thumb in satisfaction.


    Seeing how happy the man was, Old Tangmended him saying, "Your girlfriend must be the luckiest woman in the world to have a man who loves her this much," in a shaky voice. The old man had enough experience with this sort of thing and could tell when a person was in love with just a nce. That radiant warm smile and dreamy eyes on Qie Ranzhe''s face were no exception instantly revealing his true feelings.


    Qie Ranzhe raised his had while carefully putting away the pendants saying, "No he is the luckiest man in the world," before cing the money on the table.


    The old man almost had a heart attack hearing the word man and only came back to himself at the sound of money hitting the table. He opened the small bag and his eyes widened saying, "This....this is triple what l asked for. Let me take my portion then give the rest back to you."


    He immediately started counting but was soon stopped by Qie Ranzhe''s words. "Its all yours, this pendant is worth so much more to me but this all l have on me," said Qie Ranzhe and turned on his heel before walking away. The old man was left speechless with his trembling hands holding the small bag in disbelief.

 Chapter 69: First World: Little Tubby Is So Angry

    Chapter 69: First World: Little Tubby Is So Angry


    The art form of origami was initially intended for religious and ceremonial purposes but at this moment a certain someone was using it to entertain a group of boys. Wen Qinxi had arrived at the shelter only to find a group of boys sitting around the dining table drooling over sweet appetising cakes Madam Lin had just sent over for the boys to enjoy. He joined them at the table but couldn''t indulge in the delectable treats because of a certain protruding pouch he was working hard to get rid off. Wen Qinxi decided to fold origami while conversing with the boys as a form of distraction from the sweet-smelling temptation.


    During his college days, he had joined an origami enthusiast club all in the name of impressing a girl but ended up disappointed as she preferred an athlete running a marathon with her name written at the back of his vest than a cute elephant paper fold with a secret message in the centre. At least he ended learning how to fold various things other than an elephant. He could fold a dragon, fish, fox, frog, panda, turtle, bird and whale all medium level in terms of difficulty.


    The boys observed him skillfully fold the piece of paper while guessing what the final result would be wagering thest yam cake on it. They eagerly guessed while cheerfully mocking each other''s suggestions. The room was instantly filled yful tauntsing from a group of rowdy boys. "I think it''s a cat," said Shufen making his guess while pointing at the fold Lin Jingxie was currently working on, "Look that''s clearly a tail and whiskers."


    The rest of the groupughed at his guess with Machu gently knocking on his head saying, "l don''t think your eyes are functioning well that can''t be whiskers. It''s obviously a frog." The boys didn''t spare Machu either poking fun at his him and his horrible choice. Wen Qinxi couldn''t help but smile, he had a feeling that none of them would guess it right that is until Xie Ruen spoke up.


    The boy was still vignt whenever Lin Jingxie was around which was understandable considering Lin Jingxie had bullied him to the point of forcing him to jump into the waterfall an obvious plunge to one''s death. While other boys enjoyed Lin Jingxie''spany, he usually kept silent not uttering a single word but today he suddenly spoke.


    "If l guess it right will you eat the yam cake?" asked a hesitant Xie Ruen in an undertone. He had noticed Lin Jingxie wasn''t eating anything though he constantly took a gander at the sweet cakes craving for after them yet restrained himself with great difficulty. It was obvious he wanted to eat but couldn''t.


    Wen Qinxi raised his head pausing his folding action giving Xie Ruen the once over but quickly retracted his gaze when he saw the boy was about to retreat back into his shell. Wen Qinxi hurriedly agreed, "Mn, l will as long as you can guess the right answer," in a gentle tone trying extremely hard not to scare him.


    "Its a turtle," said Xie Ruen in a small voice but once the words came out the rest of the boys broke out into unrestrainedughter thinking how could that fold look anything like a turtle. In a few more folds they all fell silent faced with that cute little turtle.


    Wen Qinxi smiled saying, "Here, it''s all yours," cing the turtle right in front of Xie Ruen before gaily grabbing thest yam cake, he could almost feel the sweet taste tingling his senses. Machu and the others praised a bashful Xie Ruen for having such a sharp eye as the sweet smiling boy carefully held the turtle in the palm of his hand. He was so cautious holding it like ss afraid it would break with the slightest movement. He didn''t even let the others touch it which prompted the rest to ask for one.


    Wen Qinxi naturally agreednguidly taking a nibble out of the yam cake with no care in the world. Qie Ranzhe leisurely strolled into the shelter with the pendants carefully stashed away in his pocket when he walked into such a scene. The boys immediately acknowledged his presence while talking over each other excitedly showing off Lin Jingxie''s masterpiece but Qie Ranzhe had his sights set on the half-eaten yam cake in Lin Jingxie''s hand. He knitted his brows remembering how he got used of fattening Lin Jingxie up. Without any hesitation, he paced over and confiscated the cake with a roguish expression written all over his face.


    Wen Qinxi who had just been robbed of his delicious cake couldn''t take this lying down and tried his best to take it back. He pounced at the thief like a frazzled tiger but the height difference really screwed him over. The tall guy had the cake hovering above his own head about to touch the roof while Wen Qinxi leapt up in the air trying to grab it from him.


    The boys were unfortunately forced to watch Qie Ranzhe taunt Lin Jingxie with a beaming smile on his face. Qie Ranzhe especially enjoyed it when Lin Jingxie stepped on his toes while leaning on him trying to reach. It was both funny and satisfying urging him to bully him even more but the recipient wasn''tughing as he gradually wore a taut expression.


    "You can''t eat this," said Qie Ranzhe before shoving the entire cake into his mouth. Wen Qinxi froze with a nk expression looking at Qie Ranzhe''s stuffed face with puffed up cheeks like a handsome hamster that is if you can call hamsters handsome. He stood there aghast when he realized Qie Ranzhe had eaten something he had already taken a bite out off asking himself just what was wrong with Qie Ranzhe. Was his mysophobia cured before he entered the game?


    ''Jolie l think l am going to kill your fuckin boss. He ate my fuckin cake and doesn''t look remorseful in slightest,'' said Wen Qinxi in his mind before quietly sitting back down.


    ''Little tubby why are so angry? He''s obviously doing this for your own good otherwise you will me that little pouch of yours on him again,'' replied the system in a mocking tone.


    ''Scram you trashy system!'' said Wen Qinxi while folding something new. Seeing he had angered Lin Jingxie, Qie Ranzhe couldn''t stand the pain that came along with it. It felt like a sizzling iron bar was seared through the pit of his stomach each time Lin Jingxie got mad at him. To appease Lin Jingxie, he hurriedly left for the kitchen and carefully assembled a fruit sd with all sorts of aromatic and delicious fruit pieces.


    When he got back Lin Jingxie had already folded a fish, fox and panda for three other boys and was folding another one that looked like a tiny bird but he couldn''t be certain. He sat shoulder to shoulder with Lin Jingxie but the guy didn''t even spare him a nce happily chatting it up with the boys while folding. Being ignored like this he couldn''t help but feel anxious, Qie Ranzhe pursed his lips before whispering in Lin Jingxie''s ear with his stray hand rubbing Lin Jingxie''s back saying, "I am sorry. I took it too far just now," with a wan expression.

 Chapter 70: First World: Perfect Recipe For A Brutal Blood Bath

    Chapter 70: First World: Perfect Recipe For A Brutal Blood Bath


    Qie Ranzhe was d when Lin Jingxie didn''t shy away from his hand which meant his n to customise Lin Jingxie''s to his touches was progressing well even when the man was mad at him. Wen Qinxi felt annoyed each time Qie Ranzhe whispered to him but didn''t show it on his face replying in a sullen tone, "Mn," as he finished off the little bird and passed it along to Shuen.


    A pleased Shuen admired the cute bird saying, "Lin dage you are so awesome. Are you looking for a girlfriend l can introduce you to some-.....ouch!" after being pinched hard on his thigh under the table. He looked around for the culprit but everyone was fixed on Lin Jingxie as though holding their breath anxious to hear the answer.


    "Yes sur-," said Wen Qinxi in a joking manner that was before a piece of Kiwi was stuffed into his mouth by Qie Ranzhe instantly shutting him up.


    Shuen not getting the hint foolishly opened his mouth again saying, "l only know boys so can l introduce you to on- ah! Fuck!" after being pinched on his other thigh. Both Machu and Xie Ruen had pinched him on two separate asions to shut him up.


    Wen Qinxi looked up only to see all of them peering at him as though waiting for an answer but before he could say something, Qie Ranzhe interjected reprimanding them, "Too nosy," before feeding Lin Jingxie a carefully sliced piece of durian.


    With the surprisingly sweet durian stimting his taste buds, Wen Qinxi seemed to forget what day it wasmending Qie Ranzhe, "Mmmm...that''s surprisingly yummy, it tastes sweet," with his anger instantly dissipating before he carried on folding a whale for one other boy missing an origami of his own.


    "You want another one?" asked Qie Ranzhe in a low maic voice while holding out the chopsticks pinching another slice. Wen Qinxi didn''t even look at him submissively opening his mouth entirely focused on what he was doing. He finished folding a panda and a dragon for Manchu and Qie Ranzhe respectively while being fed like this. The boys were holding back smiles while timidly averting their gaze from such a scene stuffed with dog food.


    By the time Wen Qinxi was done, his fingertips were sore handing over the dragon to Qie Ranzhe. A thrilled Qie Ranzhe grinned foolishly while staring down at the tiny dragon Lin Jingxie had made for him. To be exact, he looked like a little kid who had just seen a kite fly for the first time. Just as he carefully put it away, the door was suddenly pushed open followed by Zhao Huangzhi strolling in as though she owned the ce.


    The boys didn''t waste any time instantly clearing the table at the speed of light unwilling to be caught up in this impending storm. Machu''s muscles suddenly hurt recalling how Qie Ranzhe pushed him the other time when he tried to stop him from killing Zhao Huangzhi. He looked at Qie Ranzhe with an expression that seemed to say ''can l please leave''. Qie Ranzhe slightly nodded at Machu gesturing for him to leave.


    Qie Ranzhe subconsciously ced his hand on Lin Jingxie shoulder about to ask her why she barged in as though walking into a toilet but before he could utter a single word, he was ruthlessly pinched right in the waist by Lin Jingxie. Wen Qinxi wasn''t stupid, he might have a low EQ but his IQ was high. He already understood that Qie Ranzhe didn''t like Zhao Huangzhi even a toddler coulde to the same conclusion. He didn''t know where he was going to find another girl who could melt this aloof prince''s heart so they could pass this level. He decided to think it through when Qie Ranzhe joined the guild but they still needed the sword in Zhao Huangzhi''s pocessesion which is why he pinched him to be nice.


    Zhao Huangzhi sat next to Qie Ranzhe all smiles like she had seen a majestic wonder but her expression soon froze when she saw how close these two were. Sensing her difort, Wen Qinxi swatted Qie Ranzhe''s arm off his shoulder while nervouslyughing. "Miss Zhao its been a long time," said Wen Qinxi with the hairs all over his body raised in rm. Zhao Huangzhi might be smiling but her aura was tremendously murderous.


    She fake smiled at Lin Jingxie and ced her hand on Qie Ranzhe''s arm saying, "Ran-ge can we talk. I brought you something I think you will love," while pointing towards the long wooden box in her servant''s hands.


    Wen Qinxi understood attempting to give them some privacy but his arm was painfully grasped by Qie Ranzhe forcing him to keep still. He proceeded to remove Zhao Huangzhi hand from his arm saying, "Someone might misunderstand your actions," in a cold tone.


    Zhao Huangzhi nced over at Lin Jingxie who looked like a cat trapped in a corner by a bunch of dogs. She was about to say something else when Lee Jienjie sudden burst in with a delighted smile aimed at Lin Jingxie saying, "Jin-ge! l am sorry l amte hope you didn''t wait for long," before pulling him by the arm.


    ''Why are all the girls in this game so unreserved. This shelter will soon be mistaken for a fuckin brothel if beautiful girls keep walking in and out,'' he thought with a perplexed look on his. He didn''t have an appointment with Lee Jienjie but was willing to be dragged away by her. ''Hell, even if she drags me to the fuckin south pole l will willingly follow her. I would rather freeze to death than stay here,'' thought Wen Qinxi about to let Lee Jienjie whisk him away but he was restrained yet again. This time Qie Ranzhe hadced their hands together like a tangled ball of wool refusing to go.


    Wen Qinxi looked at him with a ''what the fuck expression'' but Qie Ranzhe was ring at Lee Jienjie as though he wanted to kill her if she dared steal him away. The atmosphere awkward meter shot up to a hundred in just a split second with Zhao Huangzhi ring at Lin Jingxie, Lin Jingxie ring at Qie Ranzhe and Qie Ranzhe ring at Lee Jienjie. It was a perfect recipe for a brutal blood bath.


    Wen Qinxi had to remove himself from the equation otherwise a volcano would erupt with no warning. He spoke in a low tone at Qie Ranzhe saying, "I will be right back. Just give me a minute, okay?" He seriously thought Qie Ranzhe didn''t want to be left alone with Zhao Huangzhi on ount of what happened the other day and needed someone to apany him.


    Sensing a golden opportunity, Qie Ranzhe shamelessly took advantage saying, "I will let you go on one condition." Zhao Huangzhi who had witnessed their secret exchange was violently bubbling in anger but sessfully held back nning plenty of ways to murder Lin Jingxie. It was all his fault involving himself with her man and had to die a miserable death.


    "What condition?" asked Wen Qinxi struggling to separate their hands.


    "Promise me you will sleep here tonight," he said while tightening his hold, "or you aren''t going anywhere." Wen Qinxi''s poor fingers were squeezed till they were pale and throbbing. He had no choice but to agree and only then did Qie Ranzhe let him go. With newfound freedom, Wen Qinxi scuttled away with Lee Jienjie leading the way while the system made an official announcement.


    "Congrattions boss, Zhao Huangzhi wants to kill you!"


    Wen Qinxi, "..."

 Chapter 71: First World: The Legendary Sword

    Chapter 71: First World: The Legendary Sword


    Knowing he was on Zhao Huangzhi''s hit list, Wen Qinxi couldn''t help but feel a bit shaken. He knew it was just a game but he dreaded the thought of starting all over again and his fear of pain intensified his desire to live. Though the pain index was at it''s the lowest setting, Wen Qinxi wasn''t reassured in the slightest. He had toe up with a n to get that crazy girl off his back otherwise he would have to bear the consequences.


    Lee Jienjie watched Lin Jingxie''s expression change multiple times immediately figuring out what was bothering him. "Jin-ge, your rtionship with Qie Ranzhe its....," she said reaching out to touch his hand hanging low on the side of his thigh. Machu who had been sitting outside the kitchen noticed this scene frowned and promptly dispatching an eager Shuen to deal with it.


    Wen Qinxi who had been inattentive was busy mulling over what the system said so waspletely unaware of Lee Jienjie''s actions. He raised his head with an absent expression saying, "Huh?" Lee Jienjie was about to repeat herself when Shuen, out of nowhere, walked right in between them forcing Lee Jienjie to release Lin Jingxie''s hand.


    "Excuse me," he said swaggering between them even though there was so much space for him to just walk around them. Lee Jienjie was extremely irritated ring at the disappearing figure of such a disrespectful brat.


    "Lee Jienjie, you were saying?" he asked bringing her back to reality.


    "Oh, l was asking about your rtionship with Qie Ranzhe," she said with her voice quieting down with each word uttered. Wen Qinxi stared at her with a confused look that seemed to ask ''what about it?''. Judging from his expression she continued saying, "I know you are close friends but Zhao Huangzhi won''t be happy till she monopolizes Qie Ranzhe that''s why I ran over here to try and pacify her."


    Wen Qinxi''s expression softened feeling extremely grateful to her. He really felt those two would tear him apart if he stayed between them any longer. Wen Qinxi let out a softugh saying, "Thank you for that, you truly saved me though she won''t rest till l am dead," while nervously rubbing the back of his neck.


    That gorgeousugh had Lee Jienjie feeling bashful with flushed cheeks. She really loved Lin Jingxie and genuinely wanted to help him. Unlike Zhao Huangzhi, she knew love couldn''t be forced but that didn''t stop her from dreaming that their rtionship could be a little more than this. She hoped that in helping Lin Jingxie he would change his perception of her, from a little meimei to a girl he could spend the rest of his life with.


    "That''s why l am here. I came up with a solution that can ease the tension. I know Qie Ranzhe is important to you and can''t stop being friends with him so l came up with a n to get Zhao Huangzhi off your back," she said with an excited look on her pretty face.


    Wen Qinxi subconsciously raised a brow gazing at her with a sceptical look. What n could she possiblye up with that could help him survive this world and ultimately save him from an untimely death? Lee Jienjie scanned around and saw some inquisitive eyes peeping in their direction making her choose to whisper her n instead.


    Being this close to such a beautifuldy emitting the sweet scent of spring, Wen Qinxi tensed up expecting some form of stimtion as nature intended but as her warm breath brushed against his ear nothing memorable transpired. He wasn''t even a tenth as annoyed as he was when Qie Ranzhe whispered in his which happened way too often. There was a tingly sensation at first but like a struck matchstick, it died down in an instant. ''That''s odd,'' he thought just as she finished talking.


    Lee Jienjie lingered a little longer after she finished whispering her n staring at Lin Jingxie''s chiselled jaw and smooth skin. She secretly hoped to identally brush against his cheek with her lips but her n was instantly doused with cold water. Shuen had made his way back forcing them apart with another shameless, "Excuse me."


    She finally lost it yelling at him, "You stupid brat! You better learn some manners soon otherwise l will personallye over there and beat some manners into you!" while angrily pointing at Shuen. Shuen who had been scolded by Lee Jienjie didn''t seem remorseful choosing to rudely stick his tongue out at her instead.


    Angered by his childish behaviour she lunged forward to beat the crap out of him but Wen Qinxi who had been mulling over her n grasped Lee Jienjie''s arm pulling her away with his mind lost in thought. He unintentionally led an angry Lee Jienjie back to the dining room only to witness a mind-blowing event.


    ***


    With Lin Jingxie gone the atmosphere turned icy cold in a trice even though it was the middle of spring. Qie Ranzhe didn''t want to leave Lin Jingxie all alone with Lee Jienjie for too long. Who knew what type of brainwashing that seductress would do to Lin Jingxie. He didn''t want to be here any longer than he had to so he said, "Speak," in an impatient tone.


    Zhao Huangzhi was initially pleased to finally have Qie Ranzhe all to herself but seeing him with one foot at the door, her heart sank and couldn''t help express her grievances. "Ran-ge pl-," she said but quickly shut her mouth when he shot her a ferocious re that sent chills down her spine. Why she loved a man who didn''t give her any second thought? Not even she could answer that question. All she knew was that Qie Ranzhe was her very breath and without him, there was no point in living.


    "Qie Ranzhe," she corrected herself before saying, "my father arranged for me to get back to the capital so l am leaving tomorrow. I came to say goodbye." She wore a doleful expression inching closer to Qie Ranzhe while nervously rubbing her perfectly manicured fingernails.


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t say anything, he just stood up to leave but Zhao Huangzhi swiftly grabbed his arm pleading with him, "l know you don''t especially like me right now but l like you and wanted to leave you something l know you will truly love," while the servant ced the wooden case right in front of Qie Ranzhe.


    Zhao Huangzhi excitedly opened the box for him showing off the legendary sword Hei An Zhi, the pride and joy of the Zhao family. Though the sword''s origin was unknown, the initial owner was General Zhao, Zhao Huangzhi''s great-great-grandfather nicknamed the Vanquisher as he conquered Kingdoms till there was nothing left not even livestock.


    He single-handedly expanded the nation''s territory conquering all their enemies but even after all that his thirst for blood wasn''t quenched. Legend has it that he became a bloodthirsty crazed maniac going after his nation''s allies against the emperor''s wishes. This led a desperate emperor to orchestrate his most powerful General''s murder by having General Zhao''s son murder his own father at the promise of countless treasures and prestige.


    The night he was poisoned it was said the General felt his death drawing closer and chose to drive the Hei An Zhi into his heart whispering something to it. Rumour has it that the sword was lodged in his body for two days straight as everyone failed to pull it out it till it suddenly dropped on its own. It was believed among themon folk that whosoever wield this sword would be powerful enough to overturn nations.


    This magnificent sword was the Zhao family''s heirloom passed down for generations but because the Zhao family feared it''s formidable power it was reduced to a priceless museum disy showcased to guests when hosting dinner parties. Now Zhao Huangzhi had taken that very sword without permission handing it over to Qie Ranzhe all in the name of love. Qie Ranzhe was fully aware of the sword''s full identity and sure enough, he was interested. Zhao Huangzhi saw a sh of excitement in those bone-chilling dark eyes causing her heart to flutter. She wished she had more legendary weapons to gift him and earn his love.

    Chapter 72: First World: A Toyota is as good as a Maserati


    Qie Ranzhe could hear a faint whispering from the sword calling to him by name as an indescribable force was urging him to pick it up and possess it. He seemed to believe that this sword ould give him the power he yearned for. Absent-minded he lightly traced the sheath with his long slender fingers his dark eyes brimming with obsession. In this room, it was just him and this sword stuck in an infinite dark void oblivious to his surroundings. The vile root within constricted his heart urging him to unsheath Hei An Zhi and bind himself to it. Just as he was about toply a soft warmth brushed against his lips.


    A potent sweet peach scent assaulted his senses as the warmth lingered for a few more seconds. Qie Ranzhe immediately snapped out of his trance only to see a blushing Zhao Huangzhi walking out and a dazed Lee Jienjie, Lin Jingxie pair staring at him with nk expressions. He had just been kissed by Zhao Huangzhi while under the mysterious enchantment of Hei An Zhi.


    Qie Ranzhe''s entire world crumbled cursing loudly, "Shit!" but the person who had taken advantage of him had run off like a petty thief. He felt both anger and guilt unable to face Lin Jingxie at this moment. He ran past them rushing off to rinse his mouth multiple times.


    Wen Qinxi wanted to congratte Qie Ranzhe for having his first kiss but judging from his expression it wasn''t the right time to say it. Just as a shrieking Lee Jienjie left Wen Qinxi grabbed the neglected sword heading for Qie Ranzhe''s room patiently waiting for his return. The sun sank into the horizon but Qie Ranzhe hadn''t reappeared yet so Wen Qinxi went to the kitchen to reheat his dinner and packed it back into the wooden bento before heading back to his room to continue waiting.


    Qie Ranzhe only came back when it waspletely dark outside. Though he had calmed down he was still gloomy so Wen Qinxi chose to say nothing except push the bento in his direction uttering one word, "Eat." Qie Ranzhe obediently ate a few mouthfuls which seemed to lift his spirit.


    Seeing him finally rx, Wen Qinxiforted him, "Its just a first kiss and a peck at that. It wasn''t explicit or anything so there is no need to be this upset. I know you don''t like her but the more you get worked up over this, the more it turns into a much bigger deal than it actually is," in a gentle tone. Actually, he was a little irritated when he saw that scene. He felt an inexplicable painful sting when he saw her take advantage of a destructed Qie Ranzhe.


    Qie Ranzhe paused for a moment looking down at his food with his mind adrift. Without thinking he confessed, "Its not my first kiss," though he knew the one who initiated it didn''t remember anything.


    Wen Qinxi was dumbfounded by this sudden revtion and couldn''t help but ask, "Who was your first kiss?" Even though he had spent so much time with Qie Ranzhe, this was the first time he had heard of this interesting piece of news. s, there was a glimmer of hope. There was a girl out there that Qie Ranzhe might actually like.


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t look up replying in a low voice, "They initiated the kiss but don''t even remember that they kissed me. That''s all l can say for now," before stuffing his face with a juicy piece of braised pork.


    "Okay, thanks for sharing. This is exciting news," said an excited Wen Qinxi while poking the system in his head, ''Who the fuck kissed Qie Ranzhe? Find out who she is so we can get them together when he reaches the capital.''


    Jolie, ''....''


    ''l...ah.....um.....l really don''t know who could have done such a thing but l will try and find out,'' said Jolie before going offline just in case Wen Qinxi interrogated it further.


    As soon Qie Ranzhe was done eating, Wen Qinxi packed the bento away before addressing the elephant in the room. He ced the wooden case on the table with a loud bam and said, "Try it out and see if you like it." Qie Ranzhe let out a sigh while unsheathing the sword that had been calling to him all day. He had to admit, the sword fascinated him but after what happened, he didn''t even want to look at it.


    To satisfy Lin Jingxie he tried it out skillfully shing with great agility. He could feel a massive load of power surging through his body inciting the urge to conquer the world. Though it felt addictively good it still didn''t feel right. He craved power but craved for Lin Jingxie more.


    Wen Qinxi was mesmerized by the powerful aura radiating from Qie Ranzhe from the moment he touched that sword. ''That''s so fuking badass,'' he thought behaving like a fanboy who had just met his idol. Wen Qinxi eventually snapped out of his trance when Qie Ranzhe sheathed Hei An Zhi and ruined the moment by saying, "Since you have this sword now its time to give back what belongs to Ceaser," stretching his hand out to grab the sword he gave to Qie Ranzhe but his hand came out empty when Qie Ranzhe beat him to it.


    He ced Hei An Zhi in the box while saying, "No, l am fine with this one. I will give this sword back to the Zhao family." Faced with such a stubborn Qie Ranzhe, Wen Qinxi was at a loss for words but had to persist as he didn''t know what effect this might have on the plot. He was just d Jolie was mature enough note out and have an I told you so moment.


    ''Hahaha...I fuckin told you so!'' said the system appearing at the right moment watching the good show.


    Wen Qinxi ignored the system as he continued coaxing a stubborn Qie Ranzhe, "Qie Ranzhe give me that sword this instant. You can use this one now. Didn''t I tell you this sword was on loan and that you had to give it back when you get a better one?" like a parent persuading a child that a Toyota was as good as a Maserati.


    "It has my freaking name on it and I love it so why should I give it back when you personally designed it for me? Aren''t you being unreasonable?" he said hiding the sword behind his back looking like a bullied child.


    Realising he was fighting a losing battle, Wen Qi gave in saying, "Fine, forget it. You can keep it," trying to look as natural as possible but he was actually nning to take it away while Qie Ranzhe was sleeping and im that little elves broke in during the night and stole it.


    His n would have worked if he was dealing with a six-year-old but Qie Ranzhe was almost neen and a genius to top it all off. Qie Ranzhe stood up tightly sping that sword as though afraid that it would vanish into thin air at any moment. Wen Qinxi yelled after him asking, "Where are you going?"


    Without hesitation, he replied, "To hide my sword," while walking out of the room but soon paused when he heard Lin Jingxie say,


    "Are you hiding it in Machu''s room?"


    With a mobile expression, Qie Ranzhe yelled, "No!" before frog-marching out of the room thinking of another ce to hide his precious sword.

 Chapter 73: First World: Pay You Back

    Chapter 73: First World: Pay You Back


    Wen Qinxi closed the wooden case and stashed it away before rolling up an extra quilt longitudinally to evenly divide the bed. He sincerely hoped this would help prevent another embarrassing event like the one that happened thest time he slept over. Wen Qinxi washed up and changed out of his outer garment but even then Qie Ranzhe hadn''t reappeared probably hiding his precious sword on mars or pluto.


    He slumped hard onto thefy bed lost in thought. Wen Qinxi regretted giving Qie Ranzhe that sword otherwise they wouldn''t be in this situation. He felt bad forcing Qie Ranzhe to let go of something that was obviously of sentimental value to him. With that in mind he decided to let him keep it. The plot had already gone haywire ages ago so why would he bother taking away his favourite ything?


    Feeling like a heavyweight had just been lifted off his shoulders, Wen Qinxi rolled to his side now focusing his mind on the n devised by Lee Jienjie. The n to get his name off Zhao Huangzhi''s hit list. He had two options with the first being cutting off his entire interaction with Qie Ranzhe which was totally out of the question. How was he supposed to help him if they weren''t friends?


    The second option was Lee Jienjie''s suggestion which Wen Qinxi had to admit was ingenious. The only other way to get Zhao Huangzhi to call off her mercenaries was for Lin Jingxie to get a girlfriend. If he had a girlfriend it would put Zhao Huangzhi''s illogical mind at ease but he actually didn''t want to date someone hence Lee Jienjie''s suggestion to create rumours of their nonexistent rtionship.


    This rumour would at least guarantee his survival in the game and didn''t have to sleep with one eye closed. He decided to ask Jolie to help him spread the whispers around till they reached Zhao Huangzhi''s ears that is once Qie Ranzhe entered the guild. Wen Qinxi was too engrossed in his thoughts that he didn''t know when Qie Ranzhe came back, he only returned to himself when he heard Qie Ranzhe ask, "What''s that?" in a gravelly tone. Wen Qinxi sat up straight before looking around wondering what he was talking about. An impatient Qie Ranzhe shuffled over while pointing at the quilt dividing the bed in half.


    Wen Qinxi finally got what he was talking about and chuckled while saying, "This is for my own safety. I got strangled by an octopus thest time l slept over here," while patting the rolled up quilt proud of his border fence as though it would effective against intruders.


    Qie Ranzhe was evidently displeased with the new arrangement as hey down on his designated side of the bed. He so wanted to tear that quilt to shreds given that this might be thest time they will sleep on the same bed for a long time as he would be enrolling into the guild in a few days time. It wasn''t in his nature to give up easily and so he resorted to negotiating trying to seem as pitiful as ever saying, "Jin-ge this isn''t necessary. I promise l will keep to my side of the bed," while watching Lin Jingxie''s back.


    He could tell Lin Jingxie was dozing off as his breathing rxed and his body lying in a sluggish manner. Taking advantage of this he snuck his hand under the boundary quilt but soon retracted his hand when Lin Jingxie suddenly pped his arm scolding him, "Stop fooling around and sleep. Tomorrow you have to wake up early and participate in the trial. Don''t bothering to see me if you fail to get in." This statement was enough to deter Qie Ranzhe as he didn''t bother Lin Jingxie anymore and fell asleep soon after. As the saying goes ''good thingse to those who wait'' a good thing definitely happened to Qie Ranzhe as he woke up with Lin Jingxie cuddling him like a sleeping baby panda.


    As soon as he opened his eyes he was suddenly faced with Lin Jingxie''s charming countenanceying next to his face in deep sleep. His arm was tightly wrapped around Qie Ranzhe chest and his leg around Qie Ranzhe''s waist. The so-called barrier had long since been kicked off the bed to who knows were. Qie Ranzhe didn''t know whether tough or cry wondering who exactly needed protection form who. He wanted to stay like this forever but since he needed to leave early for the trial he was left with no choice but to wake Lin Jingxie up. He gently rubbed Lin Jingxie''s back beckoning him to wake up but the guy refused mumbling in his sleep with his brows creased together in annoyance.


    Qie Ranzhe tried again and this time his voice was a few decibels higher. It seemed to work because Lin Jingxie finally moved and just as he thought he had sessfully woken him up, Lin Jingxie suddenly shifted his face with his moist lips brushing against the corner of Qie Ranzhe''s lips. Qie Ranzhe froze with his heart literally trying to burst out off his chest as Lin Jingxie''s lips lingered for what seemed like an eternity.


    As soon though sensing the uneasiness of his human pillow, Lin Jingxie slowly opened his eyes. At first, he had no clue as to what was going on that is until he fully opened his lidded eyes. As though struck by lightning a wide-eyed Wen Qinxi jumped off the bed like a cat that had suddenlynded its paw into a puddle of water yelling, "What the fuck!"

 Chapter 74: First World: Pay You Back (cont.)

    Chapter 74: First World: Pay You Back (cont.)


    Qie Ranzhe smiled without saying anything as he massaged his stiff muscles before getting dressed. Wen Qinxi felt so humiliated covering his entire head and back with the quilt leaving only the eyes peeking out while whisperingints, "Ah so fuckin embarrassing." In actuality, he was hiding his blushing face which he didn''t want Qie Ranzhe to see especially after going on about Qie Ranzhe being an octopus only to turn into an octopus himself. The guy didn''t seem fazed as he finished getting dressed. He strutted over to Lin Jingxie with a sly grin saying, "I need to pay you back," and opened up a part of the quilt covering Lin Jingxie''s face.


    A startled Wen Qinxi sped the quilt even tighter asking, "What are you doing?" but didn''t get a response as Qie Ranzhe sessfully peeled the quilt exposing part of Wen Qinxi''s cheek. In a sh, he hurriedly leaned down and kissed the corner of Lin Jingxie''s lip before saying,


    "You kissed me so it''s only fair that l kiss you back," before making his vanishing like a skilled magician. Wen Qinxi''s face turned pale before the colour in his face swiftly flooded his cheeks yelling after him, "What kind of fucked up logic is that!" but of course, he was only left talking to air as Qie Ranzhe had already disappeared from the scene of the crime.


    ***


    Being kissed by Qie Ranzhe, Wen Qinxi had felt his face exponentially heat up finding the experience somewhat pleasurable. Because of that single thought, Wen Qinxi was driven into throwing a fit but eventually calmed down when he recalled the words he himself said to Qie Ranzhe the previous night. ''The more he thought of it the more it turned into a much bigger deal than it actually was'' were more or less the exact contents of his speech yesterday. Face pped by his own philosophy, he stopped freaking out and passed his time babysitting Lin Mingxu.


    Master Lin had forbidden Lin Mingxu from going to the guild trial which the boy insisted on joining. As to the reason why he wanted to join, it was to supervise Qie Ranzhe''s interaction with Lin Jingxie when his older brother finally goes to the capital for his imperial exam. Of course, he didn''t voice this to Master Lin as his true reason for joining the guild.


    Wen Qinxi could understand why Master Lin wouldn''t let Lin Mingxu join the guild as countless young men died during missions all for mary and prestigious benefits. Knowing his son''s skill he felt the brat would drag down Qie Ranzhe who would be obligated to keep him alive. As for Qie Ranzhe joining the guild, he wasn''t worried, that kid had already beaten him twice. The boy was an unparalleled talent with a ruthless side to him which meant he was not only going to survive but take over that guild with ease.


    Wen Qinxi was so bored watching this unruly child all day. It was not only boring but tiresome as Lin Mingxu tried to trick him twice. In the end, he had to tie him down into the chair just to prevent him from slipping away. They soon exhausted all their options with nothing left to entertain themselves with. "Hum, soooo boring!" said Wen Qinxi leaning his head back till he was looking up to the ceiling.


    "Jin-ge just let me go. I will only want to watch the trial not participate," he said moving closer in his chair while making an annoying scraping sound against the floor.


    Wen Qinxi didn''t raise his head while replying, "You think l am stupid enough to let you go?"


    Lin Mingxu paused for a moment as though thinking of another n. After a couple of minutes he finally said, "Jin-ge, I need to go to the bathroom. Can you untie me so l can go," with a twinkle in his eye thinking this n was way better than thest one. His brother wouldn''t want him to pee in his pants, right?


    Wen Qinxi finally moved his head scanning around the room as though looking for something. After a while, he ced an empty bottle on the table saying, "There is your bathroom," before leaning back against his chair again.


    A stunned Lin Mingxu gawked at him in astonishment but didn''t have a chance to retort when the door was pushed opened with force. They were faced by a panting Machu with sweat dripping down his forehead. He was leaning down with his hand ced on his abdomen while struggling to catch his breath. Two servants were trying to pull him out of the room while voicing their sincere apologies but Machu remained unmoved like a stubborn boulder. He had obviously run all the way here and fought off two servants just to get to Lin Jingxie. Wen Qinxi stood up to help him sit down but Machu shook his refusing before grasping Lin Jingxie''s arm leading him out of the mansion while exining himself.


    A curious Lin Mingxu yelled after Lin Jingxie to release him but his brother was already gone. The boy gazed at the two stupefied servants who were wondering what kind of game the two brothers had been ying. He was about to ask them to release him but they immediately scurried out of the room with their heads bowed as though saying ''we didn''t see anything'' quietly closing the double door behind them.


    Lin Mingxu, "..."


    The unfortunate part was that he now actually felt like peeing. "Shit!" he cursed stuck in a stalemate with that empty bottle that seemed to be mocking him.

 Chapter 75: First World: Birthday Suit

    Chapter 75: First World: Birthday Suit


    Wen Qinxi was dragged all the way to Ye Lang guild by an anxious Machu and his anxiety was truly warranted as Qie Ranzhe had unintentionally provoked one of the high ranking guild mercenaries during the trial. The Ye Lang guild was a prestigious guild affiliated with the emperor epting only the cream of the crop. For this reason, candidates had to endure a severe trial which included a rigorous obstacle course testing their endurance, a written test for mental aptitude and finally hand to handbat with one of the recruiters that''s until one of them yields. In most cases, it was the recruits who yield to the recruiters but Qie Ranzhe was an exception.


    Because he strove to do his best and dared not disappoint Lin Jingxie, he went all out knocking out the unsuspecting recruiters within five minutes of entering the arena. Actually, he intended to knock him out earlier than that but thought it would too ruthless and deliberately slowed down the beat down. Dealing with such a weak opponent Qie Ranzhe eventually got bored and knocked him out cold with no chance to yield on his own ord.


    This disconcerting incident was unfortunately witnessed by a fifth-ranked mercenary of the Ye Lang guild known as Tougu who inevitably noticed that Qie Ranzhe was merely toying with the recruiter the entire time. In his eyes, he discerned Qie Ranzhe''s actions as a pure provocation which gave rise to him descending from the tform and personally teach that brat a lesson.


    Wen Qinxi arrived just in time to see the two bruised and battered men ring at each other with a searing death stare neither of them willing to yield. Qie Ranzhe was half-kneeling clutching his abdomen with blood seeping out of the corner of his mouth while wearing an eerie psycho smile. Tougu, though towering over Qie Ranzhe he was in no better shape than him. His stance was not as domineering as intended with his right leg twisted in an unsightly manner. A subtle grimace would appear on his face whenever he unconsciously put weight on it.


    This was presumably Qie Ranzhe''s handy work ruthlessly exploiting Tougu''s weakness by repeatedly bashing that leg resulting in what could only be diagnosed as a fracture. Disregarding the excruciating pain Tougu still maintained his tough disciplinarian aura while mocking Qie Ranzhe, "You surely have guts but unfortunately it counts for shit because you can''t beat me. I advise you to yield unless you intend to die in this arena. Nothing good wille out of your unrivalled stubbornness. You have already proved yourself worthy to be a member of Ye Lang guild so quit wasting everyone''s time and yield so l can give you your jade token!" in a pompousmanding offstandish tone.


    If it was anyone else, they would have yield ages ago but unfortunately, the person Tougu had encountered was Qie Ranzhe. Though exhausted and bruised all over Qie Ranzhe''s injuries were not as severe as he gave Tougu no chance to strike his vital points. There was only one way this battle was going to end which was when he came out victorious. He stubbornly refused to yield even though he had already attained his ticket into the guild. This was why Machu rudely barged into the Lin Mansion worried Qie Ranzhe would fight to his death. He desperately sought after Lin Jingxie to talk some sense into Qie Ranzhe.


    "Ran-ge!" he called out sessfully grasping Qie Ranzhe''s attention while pointing in Lin Jingxie''s direction. When Qie Ranzhe''s view fell on Lin Jingxie his psycho smile fell overwhelmed withplicated feelings. He didn''t want to Lin Jingxie to see him in this state especially when he was being mocked by the pompous brawny man.


    Seeing Qie Ranzhe in such a state, Wen Qinxi couldn''t help but feel pained on his behalf scared to even look at him thinking Qie Ranzhe''s bruises would hurt even more under his gaze. Qie Ranzhe misunderstood when he saw Lin Jingxie refusing to look at him. Thinking he was disappointed by his performance, Qie Ranzhe decided to end this fight to appease Lin Jingxie.


    Just when Wen Qinxi was about to reason with him, Qie Ranzhe suddenly lunged at the Tougu his eyes cruel dark eyes brimming with unyielding determination. He couldn''t let this mouthy old man make him look bad in front of Lin Jingxie. Tougu didn''t let him off easy using his full strength to beat Qie Ranzhe down but soon those offensive moves quickly turned defensive as he struggled to fend off Qie Ranzhe. In three more moves, Tougu was out cold with his body sprawled down on the ground. The guild members were dumbstruck, the kid had actually beaten their fifth-ranked mercenary just like that. They weren''t sure how to react and simply carried their fallenrade to the infirmary.


    The town''s guild receptionist handed the jade token to Qie Ranzhe who at some point had sprawled on the ground panting heavily with a light chuckle escaping his dry throat. "Wee to Ye Lang guild. We are setting off to the training camp in two days. Make sure not to miss it," he said before walking away at a fast pace hastily creating distance from such a dangerous character.


    The boys ran over to check if their brother was okay but he simply refused their help saying he was fine. It was only when Lin Jingxie showed up did he start acting pitiful calling out him, "Ah! Jin-ge, help me up everything hurts," while stretching out his trembling hand like a man at death''s doorstep.


    Everyone, "..."


    Wen Qinxi quickly extended a helping hand pulling him up to his feet with great effort while mocking, "You are such a fuckin drama queen,". A satisfied Qie Ranzhe dly leaned against him for support all the way to the shelter. Wen Qinxi couldn''t understand why this idiot had to subject himself to this much pain if it was him you would have yed dead like a dog that didn''t want to take a bath.


    The physician diagnosed him with mild muscle spasms. Using that excuse Qie Ranzhe sessfully convinced Lin Jingxie to assist him during his bath. Not only that but also managed to ckmail a massage out of him by shamelessly acting pitiful. While he was soaking in the hot tub Wen Qinxi unskillfully knead his shoulders. To be more exact his massaging skill was on par with that of a five-year-old attempting to massage their parent. I guess that''s what they meant when they said it''s the thought that counts.


    Wen Qinxi was utterly clueless when it came to massages but was willing to help him out especially when the guy looked so pitiable. It was going well that is until Qie Ranzhe opened his mouth making this seriously awkward. "Mn....Mn.....Jin-ge, a little harder yes right there. Ah....that''s perfect. Go a bit deeper...Ah.....yes right there.....mn," moaned and groaned Qie Ranzhe as the shoulder massage progressed.


    With such ambiguous words, Wen Qinxi couldn''t prevent a blush from creeping up his face in embarrassment. If anyone outside heard Qie Ranzhe''s nonsensical mumbling they would definitely misunderstand. These words alone were enough motivation to make Wen Qinxi withdraw his hands. "That''s enough my hands hurt," said Wen Qinxi wiping his damp hands with his back facing Qie Ranzhe.


    Qie Ranzhe wasn''t stupid, he could tell Lin Jingxie was embarrassed but that didn''t stop him from teasing him some more. "What''s the point of soaking in the bath when the massage ended? Fine, hand me the towel so we can leave together," he asked with an ominous grin. Wen Qinxi didn''t suspect anything casually turning to hand him the towel but Qie Ranzhe suddenly stood tall presenting his entire birthday suit in zing glory.


    Faced with Qie Ranzhe''s magnificent body showcasing all the goods leaving nothing to the imagination, Wen Qinxi almost vomited blood but the surprise soon turned to pure jealousy when his eyes nced over Qie Ranzhe''s tool. ''Wow, Niiceeee. Feeling envious yet? He''s definitely bigger than you,'' said Jolie poking fun at Wen Qinxi.


    The size was quite impressive that Wen Qinxi took another nce as though making sure his eyes weren''t deceiving him. ''Piss off,'' said Wen Qinxi chasing away the annoying system.


    "Like what you see?" asked Qie Ranzhe with a roguish smile brimming with pride.


    Wen Qinxi suddenly flung the towel at him saying, "I have seen better," before walking out just in case Qie Ranzhe saw through his lie.


    "Better my ass, this is the best you will ever see," he said looking down at his member with his hands ced either side of his waist.

 Chapter 76: First World: Forehead Kiss

    Chapter 76: First World: Forehead Kiss


    The morning of his departure, Qie Ranzhe had the entire shelter send him off quickly saying their goodbyes before disappearing so to give the two some space. They had already cried their eyes out the previous night at a farewell dinner hosted by the Lin family. Everyone seemed gloomy saying they would miss him but there was a certain someone who was secretly rejoicing and such a person could only be Lin Mingxu. He hoped the two spending time apart would make Qie Ranzhe lose interest in his brother. l guess he had never heard the statement ''absence makes the heart grow fonder''.


    With just the two of them left, Qie Ranzhe suddenly had cold feet. He didn''t want to separate from Lin Jingxie and separation anxiety only got worse as they drew closer to departure time. "I don''t want to go anymore," he said sulky but Lin Jingxie heartlessly shut that idea down with a rocketuncher.


    "How are you going to get enough power to protect the boys if you don''t go? Besides them will you be able to marry into a noble family if you stay here?" asked Wen Qinxi ultimately dissuading Qie Ranzhe. Of course, he wanted to marry into the Lin family. To do that he had to make a name for himself.


    "Mn," he replied gazing at him as though looking at a priceless jewel in a museum disy that he couldn''t take with him.


    Wen Qinxi suddenly took out that wooden case that had been haunting Qie Ranzhe for days. Like a poltergeist it would show up everywhere he went with Lin Jingxie urging him to take it with him. He wasn''t willing to take Hei An Zhi with him thus he deliberately hid it under the bed but of course, Lin Jingxie found it and brought it along.


    "You really don''t want it? No one is more deserving of this sword than you," said Wen Qinxi making a final attempt to convince him but Qie Ranzhe remained resolute in his decision. There was absolutely no way he was taking that sword with him. Despite the fact that it was given to him by Zhao Huangzhi there was something eerie about that sword. He couldn''t shake the feeling that it came with bad karma.


    Just as he shook his head to refuse, he suddenly heard a shaky voice asking, "Are you Qie Ranzhe?" They simultaneously looked behind them only to find an elderly woman steading herself with a walking cane. Her wrinkled face instantly turned ashen as soon as sheid her eyes on Qie Ranzhe. The boy before her was the spitting image of the emperor. If it weren''t for his fresh face, she would have easily mistaken him for the emperor himself.


    Wen Qinxi was puzzled at first but soon realised why she had this much of a big reaction when she saw Qie Ranzhe. He immediately moved in front of him blocking her view of Qie Ranzhe while asking politely, "Sorry Ma''am how can l help you?" Watching Lin Jingxie behave in such a protective manner Qie Ranzhe couldn''t help but look down concealing a smile thinking, ''Lin Jingxie is jealous even towards an elderly woman.''


    His smile soon dissipated when he remembered Lin Jingxie was the one who preferred elder women or maybe it was just an excuse to reject one of the girls Madam Lin wanted him to marry. Whatever the reason he still couldn''t take chances so he pulled a puzzled Lin Jingxie behind him blocking his view while whispering, "Exercise some restraint you are in public,"


    Wen Qinxi, "..."


    Her eyebrows creased in confusion opting to introduce herself instead. "l am Madam Zhao, Zhao Huangzhi''s grandmother. My granddaughter wouldn''t shut up about the person named Qie Ranzhe so l came to apologise for her forward behaviour," she said lying through her teeth. Firstly, her granddaughter didn''t mention his name to her not even once. Madam Zhao heard of this name from Madam Lin. Secondly, she hadn''te to apologize but get their family heirloom back.


    She was so livid when she heard the sword had disappeared from the vault angrily storming all the way here to threat Qie Ranzhe and im back her family treasure but when she saw that face her anger was suddenly reced with astonishment instantly turning her brain to mush. Fully aware of his identity, she was more than willing to steal the moon as long as it made him happy.


    They politely exchanged pleasantries but was soon iced out by Qie Ranzhe''s cold nature. Seeing him like this, she didn''t get angry but chose to give the prince his space. From his reaction, she could tell the boy was oblivious of his birthright and chose to keep it that way. It was not her ce to speak such things. Just as she was about to bid him farewell, Qie Ranzhe suddenly said, "Wait" before handing over the sword, "This belongs to your family. I am sorry l can''t ept it."


    It wasn''t only Madam Zhao''s smile that froze even Wen Qinxi''s smile stiffened as well. ''What the fuck is he doing?'' thought Wen Qinxi wishing he could knock some sense into him. Madam Zhao hesitated but eventually took it back with a sullen look on her face. Only now did she regret sending her granddaughter away. If only she had known of this boy''s status she would have let them bond a little more.


    As soon as Madam Zhao disappeared from their sight, Qie Ranzhe suddenly ced both his hands on either side of Lin Jingxie''s shoulders. Wen Qinxi had his back to him lost in thought pondering over the sword''s effects on the plot. Qie Ranzhe leaned close to his ear asking, "Were you jealous just now? Don''t worry l only got eyes for you."


    Wen Qinxi who wasn''t even paying attention to Qie Ranzhe replied, "Mn," without thinking.


    Seeing how distracted he was, Qie Ranzhe took advantage of the situation asking him, "Will you miss me?"


    Wen Qinxi, "Mn,"


    ted yet unsatisfied he asked another question, "Do you love me?"


    "Mn...huh? Wait what?" he asked turning to face him but couldn''t ask any further when a jade pendant was suddenly hung around his neck. Qie Ranzhe didn''t give him a chance to ask about it when he said,


    "Words said can''t be taken back so wait for me toe back," he said before casually kissing his forehead like it was the most natural thing. Wen Qinxi had been taken by surprise with his response timegging behind like campus WiFi on a Friday night. By the time he reacted Qie Ranzhe was hopping into the carriage with a beaming smile on his face while waving goodbye to him.


    ''What the fuck!'' he yelled as his blood drained from his face leaving behind sickly pale skin.


    The medic Jolie showed up at the scene attempting to smooth out the situation, ''Don''t overthink it, boss. It''s a french thing. You know our CEO as travelled to a lot of countries so he must have picked it up there,''


    ''The french kiss on the cheeks,'' said a wild-eyed Wen Qinxi silently watching the disappearing convoy.


    ''Then an Arabic thing. Seriously, don''t overthink it. May-,'' said the nervous system before it was cut off by Wen Qinxi.


    ''Initiate log-off sequence,''

 Chapter 77: First World: Machu is real?

    Chapter 77: First World: Machu is real?


    Wen Qinxi was trapped in a stupor ruminating over the events that urred just before he left the game. His mind was chaotic giving off a feeling of suffocation the longer he stuck around. He just had to log out and get his head straight which is why he had the system log him out two hours early. It was necessary for Wen Qinxi to log off because they had reached the part of the plotline where Qie Ranzhe was running around with the guild making a name for himself for two years straight.


    Two years of him doing nothing was simply unbearable though in the real world it would trante to almost two months. With a little tinkering, the boys managed to shrink the plotline to two weeks instead of two months which was already the best they could do. They didn''t have to worry about Wen Qinxi not being epted back into the game as he had already established some form of connection with Qie Ranzhe.


    In GameX game room, an unsuspecting Hei Bao was holding a permanent marker hovering above Wen Qinxi skillfully drawing a petit handlebar moustache on his face. "Bai-ge! Come and see," he said snickering while beckoning him toe over. He bent over again proceeding to draw an unsightly goatee that was before Xia Bai stopped him asking, "What are you doing?"


    Hei Bao took his hand back gesturing with his hand for Xia Bai to be quiet. "You know Wen Qinxi has temper. He won''t let you off easy," warned Xia Bai tugging on his sleeve but Hei Bao shrugged him off drawing a circle around Wen Qinxi''s right eye with a focused expression. He was about to draw a circle around Wen Qinxi''s left eye when the victim abruptly opened his eyes just like an eerie scene in horror movie.


    Startled Hei Bao screamed, "AHAHAHAH!" while jumping into Xiao Bai''s arms, "Wen Qinxi you scared the shit out of me."


    Xia Bai looked at Hei Bao tightly wrapping an arm around his neck saying, "You can get off now." Hei Baoplied while sincerely apologizing that is until his line of sight fell on his hrious masterpiece on a now sitting upright Wen Qinxi. He struggled to hold back hisughter and let Xia Bai do all the talking.


    A disoriented Wen Qinxi wasn''t paying attention to Hei Bao''s actions propping up his heavy head with his hands. "How are you feeling? You woke up two hours earlier than expected. Thepany doctor is not here yet to check on you," said a much more mature Xia Bai with a fixed expression trying to fend off his desire tough. Wen Qinxi really looked hrious.


    "I will go get Qie Ranzhe''s personal physician maybe he''s still around since he checked on the CEO just now," said Hei Bao before running out as he couldugh to his heart''s content.


    Ten minutester he returned with the physician who red at the both of them when he saw Wen Qinxi''s face. The two culprits left without a hitch as they could barely restraint theirughter. The doctor knelt in front of him asking, "Does your head hurt?" while checking his pulse though his eyes were entirely fixed on moustache and goatee. He couldn''t hold back in the end, asking, "Is this like an office game or something?" but Wen Qinxi was also puzzled so the doctor to out his phone and opened the front camera before passing it to him, "Here."


    Wen Qinxi epted the phone with a long face but soon understood what the doctor meant when he saw the ugly drawing on his face. He was angry but let out an ominousugh instead. "Okay cool.....I will pay back those douchebags ten-fold," he said with a roguish smile that frightened the physician


    It only when he gave the doctor back his phone did he finally take a close look at his face. As though struck by lightning he asked, "Machu?" In front of him was a familiar but much older face. He had always thought only Zhao Huangzhi was from the real world but it turns out there was a Machu in the real world.


    The doctor looked at him perplexed while studying his profile. He took out some rubbing alcohol from his medical kit and doused a cotton swab with it before handing it to Wen Qinxi to remove some of the permanent marker on his face. He was about to ask him if they had met before but after taking a closer look he blurted out, "Gecko!"


    Wen Qinxi, "....."


    He hadn''t heard that nickname in a long time and froze as soon as that word came from Machu''s mouth. In high school, he awarded name gecko on ount of his ability to silently blend in fading into the background. If no one actually looked for him his presence would go unnoticed thus gecko. It''s not that he was quiet it''s just that he couldn''t fit in with the rich kids dly showcasing his true personality as soon as his mother came to pick him up. But how on earth did Machu know that? Was he in the same high school as him, if yes then why didn''t he remember him?


    "I should have known it was you. It makes a lot of sense now," he said but judging from Wen Qinxi''s bewildered expression he could tell he had been long forgotten. "Wait you don''t remember me? Oh, thats right l was a year behind you guys and had blonde hair back then. How can a xueba like you remember me when all you did was date your books back then?" he exined, "You look different yourself. You finally lost your sses and braces. If l didn''t look closely l wouldn''t have known it was you."


    Wen Qinxi slowly digested Machu''s words, he did remember a scruffy blonde back then but barely paid attention to his ssmates let alone students from other sses. Machu finished examining him and kept talking but Wen Qinxi was barely attentive. "Doc, he clearly isn''t listening. You can tell me what he needs to do and l will take care of him," said Wen Danzhe who had shown up at some point.


    He was already waiting for Wen Qinxi to wake up when Xia Bai called him to pick up his older brother ahead of schedule. Wen Qinxi smiled radiantly seeing his younger brother after such a long time. He suddenly overwhelmed by home sickness. Seeing this Machu couldn''t help but ask, "Who might this be?"


    "I am his brother," replied Wen Danzhe cing his hand on Wen Qinxi''s shoulder that''s before he saw Wen Qinxi''s face. "Holy shit! What happened to your face?" Wen Qinxi gestured with his eyes towards Hei Bao and Xia Bai with his lip curled. Wen Danzhe understood giving him a look that seemed to be saying ''I will help you execute revenge''. This unspoken bond had Machu secretly lighting a candle for the two nerds.


    Wen Qinxi left his brother having a discussion with Machu and somehow strolled over to take a peek at the handsome man lying in the game capsule just like a sleeping beauty in fairytales. He suddenly remembered that fun bubbly teenager in the game which caused his heart to ache. "I will get you out," he said with the back of his hand brushing against Qie Ranzhe''s.


    "Qi Dage, let''s go!" said Wen Danzhe gently knocking on the ss window. Wen Qinxi turned on his heel to leave but his index finger was suddenly grasped by an unconscious Qie Ranzhe causing him to stop in his tracks. He assumed the guy had somehow managed to wake up only to find the man lying still with no movement whatsoever with the hold on his finger gradually loosening. He was about to go back by his side when an impatient Wen Danzhe knocked again.

 Chapter 78: First World: Cute Gecko

    Chapter 78: First World: Cute Gecko


    Left with no choice Wen Qinxi left with his brother barely speaking the entire way. An excited Wen Danzhe had skipped sses just to reunite with his brother who he hadn''t seen or spoken to for more than a month but was met with the Grinch. It was only when they were having some congee in Wen Qinxi''s cosy apartment that he couldn''t endure it anymore.


    "Dage l thought you did be happy to see me but it seems you would rather hang out with Qie Ranzhe in the game. Did I drive all the way here just to be treated like this? I have to say my feelings are hurt," he said cing a towel over Wen Qinxi''s still damp hair.


    Wen Qinxi took another spoonful trying to limatize his stomach to regr food. For more than a month his nutrition supply was through an IV so his stomach was a little unused to digesting food. "Hahaha you make it seem like you came all the way from Mars to see me when you are merely five minutes away," he said rubbing his hair with the towel.


    "Ai, in five minutes I would have got a girl''s number at the club. Do you see how precious five minutes is to me?... Since you now know then talk," he askedzily leaning against the couch observing his brother.


    Wen Qinxi didn''t say anything for while trying to find the right words to use. "Do you think Qie Ranzhe might actually be attracted to men? I know he had a girlfriend and all but l am starting to think otherwise," asked Wen Qinxi with a solemn expression.


    Hearing such a question Wen Danzhe actuallyughed a little before responding, "Okay let me approach this in psychological manner. Exin to me what happened then l can give you my opinion," while folding his legs on the couch facing his brother. He listened as his brother retold the events that took ce before Qie Ranzhe left including the forehead kiss and the questions he asked back then.


    After mulling over it for a while he asked, "What other things has he done that make you feel like he might like guys?"


    Wen Qinxi thought for a moment then said, "Sleeping in the same bed, cuddling while sleeping and showing off his naked body," exposing everything he could think of except the embarrassing incident he didn''t even dare think of.


    "Well, we have shared a bed through-out high school and l have woken up a couple of times with you huddling me like a body pillow. Seriously your sleeping habits are so horrible. Maybe he takes you as a close friend just like his doctor friend. To be honest, I wasn''t surprised that yousted long in the game, I kinda expected it," he said soaking a cotton ball in the rubbing alcohol that Manchu passed to him before he left the game room. He used it to carefully remove the faint stubborn marks left on Wen Qinxi''s face.


    Wen Qinxi''s brows furrowed in confusion recalling his past interactions with Qie Ranzhe in high school but there was none that could lead his brother to such an absurd conclusion. Actually, he was also curious why he survived the game out of all the people that tried. "What''s your reasoning?"


    "Well, you guys were in the same clubs apart from swimming. Think about it, why would the school grass join robotics or chess club? It seems like he was following yo-," he said before he was cut off by Wen Qinxi''s unrestrainedughter but he didn''t back down saying,


    "And on Tuesday and Thursdays when mum and l picked you upte because of my badminton practice he was always at the basketball court near the parking lot. I didn''t go to your school but l clearly remember him. At first l didn''t think anything of it but two years is a long time to maintain the same routine," trying to convince his dim-witted brother.


    Wen Qinxiughed himself to tears amused by his brother''s overactive imagination, "Are you that bored that you have toe up with such an interesting conspiracy? Let me ask you this? Even if he wanted to be my friend howe he didn''t remember my face when we met in thepany? Even if he can''t remember my face at least my name," he said wiping away the tear flowing out at the corner of his eye.


    Wen Danzhe hurriedly scrolled through his phone before facing the screen in his brother''s direction saying, "Don''t you remember what you looked like back then? Even mom couldn''t believe you were her son when you removed your braces for college graduation. Look at all that cute baby fat you had back then, it all disappeared. Who would recognize you after seeing you once or twice?"


    A ck-jawed Wen Qinxi gawped at that embarrassing high school picture. He attempted to grab the phone out of Wen Danzhe''s hand saying, "Why do you even have that? Give it to me...delete it!" while tussling with his brother but it was pointless as his little brother had the height advantage and Wen Qinxi was still too weak to put up a fight. "Fine keep it but what about my name? Wouldn''t he remember that?" folding his arms in frustration patiently waiting for Wen Danzhe to stop being vignt so he could snatch his phone.


    "Gecko! Hahaha, even the doctor called you that. Remember how the teachers called you that for three years straight. Hahaha, do you remember your Maths teacher hahaha wro-wrote that name on your certificate of excellence? Mum was so angry she marched over to the school and forced him to change it, hahaha that was so fuckin funny," he said bursting in unrestrainedughter, "Even if you call your former deskmate right now and ask him if he knows your name, l wouldn''t be surprised if he says he doesn''t."


    "You know what I got from this conversation? Its that you are such a busy body. You know more about me than l do. Let me guess you also know my fuckin bathroom schedule?" said an annoyed Wen Qinxi before walking away mming the bedroom door with a loud bang.


    "Dage you have lost weight! You look really good!" called out Wen Da attempting to appease his brother by appealing to his vanity.


    "Fuck off!" yelled Wen Qinxi while locking the bedroom door with a clicking sound.


    Wen Danzhe, "...."

 Chapter 79: First World: Zhao Huangzhi, Qie Ranzhes Fiancée

    Chapter 79: First World: Zhao Huangzhi, Qie Ranzhe''s Fianc¨¦e


    Two weeks passed in a blink of an eye and Wen Qinxi couldn''t wait to get back in the game mainly because of Mama Wen''s nagging. he was nagged till his ears hurt. Which was understandable considering that she was harbouring all her grievances while he was gone. He had a tear-filled parting with his family as his mother wailed like a drama queen staining his t-shirt with tears. Wen Qinxi exined he was just at GameX but Mama Wen cried as though he was going to the moon. He eventually coaxed his mother into letting him go before he was driven to thepany in Qie Ranzhe''s Maybach authorised by Machu.


    He said it was to thank him for putting up with Qie Ranzhe''s bullshit in the game and deserved to be treated as a VIP. In ten minutes time, Wen Qinxi was already walking into the office in his hand, ck ink to exert revenge on those two nerds. Just as he was about to swipe his ess card to enter the game room, someone suddenly grasped his arm by the elbow as a peach like scent assaulted his senses. Goosebumps crept up all of his body as though struck by a sudden chill, ''Fuck she came looking for me outside the game,'' he thought refusing to nce over at her.


    Zhao Huangzhi couldn''t understand why this man was so rude but kept her stiff smile asking, "Excuse me are you Wen Qinxi?" in a sweet gentle tone that could easily be mistaken with that of a mermaid.


    Wen Qinxi gulped before gathering the courage to look in her direction. "Yes, how may l help you?" with a face as white as a sheet.


    "Oh, l am Qie Ranzhe''s fiancee. I just wanted to thank you for helping him out. I was overseas when l had the news and only managed to get here a week ago," she said with a grieving look on her countenance.


    ''What fuckin fiancee when you coldly rejected his proposal. She must think l am fuckin stupid,'' he thought waiting for her to carry on.


    Seeing that he didn''t react or bother say anything she sneered within and carried on. "Since l am here you don''t have to go on. I can take over from were you left off. I spoke to his psychotherapist and she gave me an idea of what l am supposed to do," soft yet domineering tone.


    Wen Qinxi knitted his brows wondering if this was amand or an option. How could he let her go in the game and ruin everything? It was simply out of the question and was about to politely exin why she couldn''t interfere at this stage but someone bit him to it. Machu stood tall with one hand in his pocket and the other holding hisb coat saying, "Miss Zhao you gave up your right to interfere in Qie Ranzhe''s business so please show yourself out or would you prefer I call security?" taking the ess card out of her hand before breaking it into half.


    Zhao Huangzhi''s face turned ugly flushed red in anger saying, "How dare you? Machu you have surely grown bold. His mother asked me toe and help get her son back which makes it my business!"


    Manchu motioned Wen Qinxi to go inside hence he didn''t get to hear the rest of the conversation with Machu closing the door behind him. He closed it to prevent Zhao Huangzhi from sneaking in and disturbing Qie Ranzhe. Wen Qinxi found the pair of sks those two nerds used andced them with ck ink courtesy of Wen Danzhe. Because thepany sks were ck in colour, the ink easily blend-in masking its presence.


    All he had to do was wait for the show to begin. At exactly 8am the pair happily strolled in while Machu who had sessfully gotten rid of the ice princess was checking Wen Qinxi''s vitals. "Shit!" yelled Xia Bai when he saw his entire mouth was covered in ink. Hei Bao couldn''t help butugh at his expense that is until Xia Bai said, "What are youughing at. Look at your face!"


    "Ah!... Fuck Qi-ge this shit is noting off!" yelled Hei Bao using some wipes.


    "Wen Qi why did you have to include me when it was Bao Bao who provoked you," said Xia Bai stealing some wipes from the package currently in Hei Bao''s hands.


    "Guilty by association," replied Wen Qinxi with a satisfied smile before lying down in the gaming capsule, "Doctor may you kindly not assist them with some rubbing alcohol to remove the ink," now addressing Manchu.


    "Doctor is too formal just call me Machu and thank you for doing this," he said but Wen Qinxi only responded with a smile before logging into the game. Because of Wen Qinxi''s prank, it was rumoured around the office that Xia Bai and Hei Bao were in a rtionship based on the fact that both of them had ck ink on their faces. There was only one conclusion which was that they kissed that''s why they had identical smugs on their mouths.

 Chapter 80: First World: Qie Ranzhes Dangerous Escapades

    Chapter 80: First World: Qie Ranzhe''s Dangerous Escapades


    Having logged back into the game with no issues, Wen Qinxi prepared to leave the Lin family home for the capital. Though had been absent for only two weeks in the game two years had passed and everything had changed. Lin Mingxu had grown a few inches taller experimenting with his now sprouting facial hair. Madam Lin had lost a bit of weight possibly worrying about her troublesome rascals. Master Lin had obvious stress lines which made Wen Qinxi wonder what Jolie made his character do while he was away.


    The entire Lin family and servants except Lin Mingxu stood in the front yard bidding their family''s young master farewell. Wen Qinxi was pulled into Madam Lin''s bosom as she wailed like a paid mourner at a funeral. "Wuwuwuwu my little Jin Jin what is mummy going to do without you? Wuwuwuwu don''t leave your poor mother with these people," she said squishing a helpless Wen Qinxi till he could barely breathe.


    Master Lin having been insulted by his wife couldn''t resist defending his honor, "These people? Sweet heart haven''t l been good to you?" with a wronged expression.


    Madam Lin cried even louder saying, "Yessss but you can''t make wonton noodles like my Jin Jin wuwuwuwu."


    Everyone, "....."


    ''So all her wailing was for food?'' thought Wen Qinxi as he managed to free himself and scan around looking for Lin Mingxu who hadn''t returned yet. Since he couldn''t afford to wait any longer Wen Qinxi decided to leave a message for him before entering the carriage in preparation to leave.


    Just as the carriage set off, Master Lin who had been standing by the gate suddenly noticed the storage chest creakily open a little bit before abruptly shutting itself. He pped his thigh realising where his second son was and yelled after the coachman to stop the carriage. A confused Wen Qinxi stuck his head out of the window about to ask Master Lin if he forgot something but held back when he saw the man open the storage chest behind the carriage.


    Wen Qinxi curiously disembarked and took a look at what Master Lin was ring at with a ck expression. Lin Mingxu was curled up in the tight space covering his face with one of Lin Jingxie''s books while holding his breath hoping he wouldn''t be found out. "Stupid child!" yelled Master Lin dragging him out by the ear.


    "Ah ah ah it hurts! Jin-ge save me!" said Lin Mingxu with a pained expression. Wen Qinxi couldn''t help but snicker, the stowaway wanted to go to the capital with him without their parents'' consent. It was just too fuckin hrious.


    "Ming Ming, I will see you in two months," he yelled after the poor boy being dragged by the ear back to the Lin Mansion. Wen Qinxi got back on the carriage as they set off for the capital.


    Thinking of the stress lines on Master Lin he just had to ask what the system made his character do while he was away so he asked and this was Jolie''s response, "I didn''t do anything you wouldn''t do. Did some bungee jumping, rode a bull once, made a paraglider and paraglide around town, you know, the usual. It was so much fun!"


    "That''s fuckin hardcore and not in a good way! Were you trying to kill Lin Jingxie and start the world all over again? Such an asshole," said Wen Qinxi reprimanding the system.


    "Aiyo....you can scold me all you want but my misdeeds weren''t as bad as Qie Ranzhe''s. That man is a hundred times crazier than l am hahaha," said an excited Jolie. It couldn''t wait to shook Wen Qinxi to death with Qie Ranzhe''s dangerous escapades. As per instruction, Jolie had spread the rumour that Lin Jingxie of the Lin family was in a rtionship with Lee Jienjie of the Lee family. That rumour not only reached Zhao Huangzhi ears but also Qie Ranzhe''s.


    This piece of news reached his ears just two months after separating with Lin Jingxie. Feeling like a pathetic man who had been forced to wear a green hat, Qie Ranzhe wanted to go confront Lin Jingxie and rify his feelings for him but couldn''t leave the Ye Lang guild no matter how hard he tried. He went on a rampage consecutively beating the fourth, third and second-ranked mercenaries in the guild after they got in his way preventing him from leaving.


    Having won the fight. he was about to walk out but his path was soon blocked by Ye Lang guild''s Grandmaster aka Old Chen. Thinking he could just beat the old man and leave, heunched an attack but was soon struck by reality, the old man subdued a berserk Qie Ranzhe like it was nothing.


    The boy had finally encountered someone more powerful than him. As long as he didn''t surpass this old man they would always be someone who had enough strength to stop him. The old man told him to stop using his anger to fight otherwise he would never surpass him. Like a good student, Qie Ranzhe took his words to heart and kept his anger in check.


    Determined to surpass his master, Qie Ranzhe grew stronger and smarter at an rming rate leaving the rest of the guild powerless. He was a master strategist approaching each task with great wisdom. It was a well-known fact that as long as you follow Qie Ranzhe''s n you will never fail. In under a year, he was ranked second falling under Old Chen.


    His greatest achievement that finally caught the emperor''s attention was when he single-handedly snuck into the borders of their northern enemy who had been terrorizing their border towns attempting to expand territory into Qingsong country. Qie Ranzhe entered their pce, killed their emperor making it look like a natural death that is before destroying the reputation of the Prime Minister who instigated the attack on Qingsong.


    This helped the prince who had made a deal with emperor Qie ascend the throne peacefully resolving the conflict between the two countries. All this was done in just three days. The emperor was fascinated by the person surnamed Qie and so invited Qie Ranzhe to the capital to ultimately take over the guild station that directly served the emperor.


    The system detailed everything except for the part that Qie Ranzhe wanted to leave the guild because of the rumor. Wen Qinxi was struck dumb by this revtion, he didn''t expect Qie Ranzhe to leave for the capital earlier than him. ording to the previous plot he had estimated that he did get to the capital a month earlier than him and help him deal with Prince Anzhie. He just hoped nothing big happens before he gets there.

 Chapter 81: First World: Prince An vs Prince Ran

    Chapter 81: First World: Prince An vs Prince Ran


    While Wen Qinxi was making his way to the capital, Qie Ranzhe had already been in the capital for a full fortnight and sent word for Machu to join him leaving Shuen in charge of the shelter. It still angered him when he thought of Lin Jingxie being with Lee Jienjie fighting off the urge to go look for him. He held back because it was better to let the preye to him as he would have an unrivalled home ground advantage with the guild as his backing. Confronting Lin Jingxie in his home town wouldn''t be favourable to him as that was the Lin family''s territory.


    He silently endured counting down to the day of the imperial exam. To pass the time, he trained non stop with other guild members in the arena. Whenever he showed his face at the training grounds, trainees felt like climbing over the wall and run away as his training session was not only long but hard leaving the unlucky opponent sprawled on the ground unable to move a single finger each time.


    Today was such a day were Qie Ranzhe was harassing an unfortunate victim in the arena. He was fully engaged in hand to handbat with the fourth-ranked guild member that he didn''t notice a group of men approaching the stands looking down into the arena.


    Among the group was a man dressed in golden robes embroidered with a red dragon on the back. His garments were of the finest quality demanding respect where ever he went. This person was none other than Emperor Qie himself. Behind him was a young man dressed in sophisticated navy blue robes and silver hand braces with his fresh face exuding aristocracy. It could only be Prince Anzhie.


    The father and son pair were conversing misceneous matters with Old Chen. Initially, Prince Anzhie wasn''t meant to be there but after hearing his father constantly rave about this heroic guild member, he just had to take a look. Ye Lang guild was the emperor''s personal stronghold loyal only to the dragon throne. As long as one had the support of Ye Lang guild they could stay in power no matter what. So he naturally had to be in good books with this old fart if he wanted to be emperor in the future.


    Prince Anzhie knew Old Chen never liked him so he hoped to get close to his predecessor. If something unfortunate was to happen to the old fart this second inmand would naturally take over. This prompted Qie Anzhie to befriend this person. As soon as they reached the arena both Prince Anzhie and Emperor Qie were stunned to see a young man barely out his teens. Seeing his not so impressive fighting skills, Prince Anzhie scowled asking, "This is the second-ranked mercenary in the guild? His skills are not as impressive as rumoured," he said pointing at the arena.


    The Grandmaster didn''t bother looking at the Prince saying, "This merely a friendly match, he is giving Fourth some tips. Would his highness like to give it a try? I am sure you can learn a thing or two."


    Emperor Qie chuckled with his eyes fixed on the distant figure his eyes brimming with admiration. "I didn''t expect him to be this young. I don''t think my son is capable enough to take down the second inmand of the Ye Lang guild. Bring in your eighth or ninth-ranked mercenary then it would be a fair fight," said the emperor trying to safe his son some face. He was fully aware of what this guild was capable of. Though he had his son trained under the best masters he was still light-years away from engaging the top-ranked mercenaries inbat. Evenparing him to the ninth-ranked mercenary was a stretch.


    Of course, Prince Anzhie didn''t appreciate his father''s kindness but took it as a ssic ''his not good enough'' provocation and so jumped into the arena on impulse. In a few strides he reached the pair and immediately attacked Qie Ranzhe causing Fourth to stumble back. He was about to subdue Prince Anzhie but the Old Chen beckoned him to step aside.


    Qie Ranzhe who had been attacked from nowhere wasn''t in the least bit politending a punch on Prince Anzhie''s jaw. The punch was enough to make the impulsive prince see stars in broad daylight as his vision blurred but he soon recovered peering at that face that bore resemnce to his father. In a daze, he almost called out father but swallowed his words when he looked at the stands. His father was still up there staring down at them. He looked back at Qie Ranzhe and said "You!" loss for words, "Wh-who are you?"

 Chapter 82: First World: Prince An vs Prince Ran 2

    Chapter 82: First World: Prince An vs Prince Ran 2


    Qie Ranzhe finally figured out where he had seen this person. It was the man who had called him and Lin Jingxie trash in the forest the other day. Back then he couldn''t settle the score but now the man had voluntarily fallen directly into hisp. A wolfish grin appeared on Qie Ranzhe''s face replying, "I am the grim reaper," before tossing a sword in the man''s direction.


    His words shook Prince Anzhie to the core but he did a great job concealing it sessfully catching the sword. Qie Ranzhe opted for a sword fights he intended to leave visible scars on this arrogant bastard. Whenever the man looked at these scars he would have to suffer the pain of knowing that he was defeated by a piece of trash.


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t even give him an opportunity to attack as the prince was on constant defence rather than offence. He would constantly retreat but just as he caught his breath, Qie Ranzhe would strike again. Prince Anzhie was shed three times, two on his arm and one on his thigh with blood seeping out from underneath the fabric. Just as a limping Prince Anzhie retreated after losing his sword, Qie Ranzhe kicked him to the ground causing him to fall face first eating dust on his way down.


    The prince grimaced in pain as he sat back up only to have a sword poke at his cheek. His face turned deadly pale when he realised the brat''s intentions. He red at the man with his bloodshot eyes but stubbornly refused to yield. This was the enemy he had dreamt of every night. The enemy who would steal everything from him. He had searched the whole of Qingsong for that stupid concubine and his evil spawn only to have the guy show up out of nowhere. His pride wouldn''t permit him to yield and so the two were stuck in a stalemate sizing each other up.


    It''s only when Old Chen yelled, "That''s enough," did Qie Ranzhe sheath his sword.


    In a light chortle, he said, "That was a good fight," stretching his hand to help him up but Prince Anzhie swatted his hand and stood up on his own. The prince was soon surrounded by servants escorting him out of the arena. Prince Anzhie halted his footsteps when he reached the emperor as his father said, "Don''t be disheartened, there is still room for improvement," in a gentle tone.


    Prince Anzhie wanted to say something but swallowed his words and saluted his father with great difficulty before leaving the guild. Qie Ranzhe was left behind clearing things off the arena surprisingly in a good mood. He couldn''t wait to tell Lin Jingxie how he beat up that bastard. A member of the guild suddenly came to inform him that the emperor wanted to see him while gesturing at the men behind him.


    The member took over from him and Qie Ranzhe walked over but with each step, he took his heartbeat became erratic. He wasn''t alone, the emperor''s smile stiffened when he took a closer look at the youth slowly approaching him. Even the servants waiting upon the emperor couldn''t help peep at this young man who resembled the emperor in every way apart from age.


    Qie Ranzhe was confused not certain how to react and proceeded to kowtow before the emperor with bloodshot eyes and a clenched jaw. "Meili!" cried out the emperor as he copsed to the floor. The servants tried to help the emperor up but he swatted their hands off before crawling over to Qie Ranzhe. With trembling hands, he raised Qie Ranzhe''s head with a tear streaming down his cheek.


    All his life he had loved one woman and that was the unattainable General Shao Meili. Because she did rather deal with bloody battlefields than the harem, she rejected him and left the capital. Something unexpected happened while defending the southern border, General Shao was shot with a poisoned arrow making her as weak as a little girl. Fearing that his daughter would die on the battlefield, Prime Minister Shao had here back to the capital and married her off to the emperor. Finally having the woman of his dreams in his grasp, the emperor neglected the rest of the harem including the empress, Prince Anzhie''s mother.


    Emperor Qie was too blinded by love that he didn''t sense the looming danger. One gloomy day his beloved just up and left leaving behind a letter to reassure him. He knew Shao Meili hated being part of the harem and assumed that she left of her own will as stated in the letter. The emperor had searched everywhere for her but Shao Meili simply vanished without a trace.


    The heavens seemed to take pity on him bringing Shao Meili''s son to him. He embraced Qie Ranzhe mumbling, "Thank you, thank you, thank you so much," under his breath.

    Chapter 83: First World: Plotting Revenge


    After what could only be described as a bumpy ride a bone-weary Wen Qinxi finally reached the capital. He couldn''t help butin to Jolie as he settled in what would soon be the new Lin Family home. ''Fuck! Did the carriage ride have to be this realistic? My entire body was shaken so much that my bones are still trembling,'' said Wen Qinxi to the system in his mind while a servant showed him to his room.


    ''Don''t me me. The CEO wanted a realistic game and the game designer did exactly that. Now stopining and hurry up. We need to go look for our dearest boss,'' said the impatient system. It wanted this pair reunited as soon as possible so they could resume cultivating their feelings. It was about time it to collected its winnings and get its darlingpanion.


    Wen Qinxi didn''t dawdle any longer as he took a quick bath to wash off the sticky sweat from the gruesome journey and changed into one of his favorite dark green robe with gold vines embroidered along its hem. The only reason why he put so much work into his appearance was that he was going to the pce and didn''t want to leave a bad impression. With exquisitely coiffured hair, Wen Qinxi resembled a pure yet captivating deity that people couldn''t help but fall in love with. Such a rare gem drew everyone''s attention as he sauntered to the pce.


    Because of the kind of attention he roused, it didn''t take long before word reached Zhao Huangzhi''s ears. It can only be said that she didn''t take it well angrily sweeping with her hands all the contents on top of her dresser with a loud crashing sound as they reached the floor. This chaotic sound naturally attracted the Prime Minister''s attention as he rushed over in a panic. He was well aware of his daughter''s terrible mood these past thirteen days. For twelve days straight, she had been seeking an audience with estranged Prince Ranzhe but had been coldly rejected each time.


    Unable to carry on seeing his daughter like this, he made an appointment with Emperor Qie attempting to use his influence in the court to get Zhao Huangzhi what she wanted. The Emperor naturally agreed for their children to interact with each even hinting at marriage but Qie Ranzhe had just joined the family and needed time to adapt so it wouldn''t be good forcing his estranged son''s hand at this moment.


    Prime Minister Zhao naturally understood but his daughter who had always got what she wanted when she wanted wasn''t keen on waiting. She had already been waiting for more than two years coupled with the fact that Qie Ranzhe was actually a prince, this had to happen and happen fast. Though Lin Jingxie wasn''t a threat as his family was inferiorpared to hers she couldn''t help but feel ill at ease with his presence in the capital.


    Wen Qinxi, who waspletely unaware that someone out there was throwing tantrums like a toddler over him had just arrived in the pce waiting for the servant he has sent to inform Prince Ranzhe of his arrival to return. Though it didn''t seem like it, Master Lin was actually well acquainted with Emperor Qie. Their rtionship wasn''t clearly defined but judging from the token Wen Qinxi had received from Master Lin before he left, it was clear that this rtionship wasn''t simple. This token gave him ess to arge part of the pce and he coulde and go as he pleased.


    While Wen Qinxi was patiently waiting engrossed in the rich splendours of the imperial pce, Qie Ranzhe was having a closed-door meeting with two guild members. Ever since he learnt of his mother from the Emperor, he had his subordinates investigate the matter. The oue of that investigation was enough to anger him to death. A retired servant loyal to Empress Da-Xia had witnessed the gruesome ordeal that urred nearly twenty-two years ago but wouldn''t talk. It was only after being severely tortured by Fourth did she simply confessed everything and was currently locked up in the guild dungeon.


    It turns out that his mother had indeed made a decision to leave the harem behind as soon as she found out she was pregnant. On ount of her weak body, she knew she couldn''t guarantee her son''s safety in the pce. For eight months, she sessfully concealed her pregnancy by wearing baggy clothes and refusing to sleep with the emperor. Close to giving birth, she had a trusted subordinate help her escape the pce leaving a farewell letter for her beloved. But her ns crumbled to dust when the subordinates betrayed her for personal gains and informed Empress Da-Xia of the concubine''s pregnancy.


    The Empress took advantage of the situation and intercepted Shao Meili''s carriage in the woods just outside the capital. In anger, she stripped off the concubine''s clothes and came face to face with that bulging belly that looked like it was about to burst. Empress Da-Xia lost her mind and stabbed the woman''s stomach in cold blood intending to kill her unborn child. Though Shao Meili had a weak body she was once a general after all. Her maternal instincts took over instantly turning her into a vicious wolf protecting her cub. She shed both of the Empress'' ankles and just like a hacked tree she tumbled face down to the ground. Using this chance, Shao Meili managed to run into the dark inky night without looking back. With her severe injuries, it could only be a miracle that she managed to give birth to Qie Ranzhe and that he somehow appeared in a town which was a week''s worth of carriage ride to reach.


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t believe in such a miracle so he asked him to continue investigating. "Did you bring what l asked for?" asked Qie Ranzhe while tightly clutching the report in his hands. This Empress had to pay for what she had done but because of her influence, he couldn''t just bring the retired servant in as his only witness. A mere servant''s words could easily be refuted.


    He nned to make her suffer and force her to confess her crimes. To achieve such a task he had Eighth attain a kind of drug known as Diyu a concoction of a stonefish pain-inducing venom, hallucination-inducing cane toad venom and a psychoactive drug that canpel the victim to tell the truth. This drug was a triple threat famous for tormenting victims into confessing their crime. All he had to do was gradually dose Empress Da-Xia while making hypnotic suggestions about the deceased Shao Meili. She would eventually snap and confess her misdeeds herself in an attempt to ease the pain.


    "Yes l did," replied Eighth while cing a small wooden box on the table, "How do you n on executing your n?"


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t reply for a while pursing his lips as though mulling over his n. Seeing him like this, Eighth naturally wanted to lend a helping hand but before he got a chance to offer his services, Qie Ranzhe suddenly spoke, "You don''t have to worry about that just find out who brought me to that town."


    While this meeting was going on, the servant sent by Lin Jingxie finally arrived at Lianhua Pavillion where Prince Ranzhe was currently residing. This Pavillion was originally meant to be for the crown prince but the Emperor had given it to Prince Ranzhe without a hitch. It was obvious what he was implying that the court officials in support of Empress Da-Xia caused a ruckus when they first heard of it. The attempted to sow discord between the recently reunited father and son pair saying such things like what guarantee did the emperor have that Prince Ranzhe was his son but as soon as theyy eyes on Qie Ranzhe they instantly shut their mouths and dared not cause trouble ever again.

 Chapter 84: First World: Lee Jies Confession

    Chapter 84: First World: Lee Jie''s Confession


    The servant arrived at the once empty Lianhua Pavillion and informed the guild members who were guarding the main door of Lin Jingxie''s arrival but because Qie Ranzhe had issued an order that he shouldn''t be disturbed the guards naturally dismissed the servant. Dispirited the servant returned to Lin Jingxie who had at some point found his way to the garden and was currently standing under a cherry blossom tree with a flower on his ear.


    Servant, "..."


    Wen Qinxi hurriedly smoothed over the situation throwing the flower away saying, "l got bored," while nervouslyughing. He peered behind the servant checking the direction he came from but he didn''t see the person he was looking for. Dejected he asked, "Prince Ranzhe?"


    The servant could tell this young master wasn''t simple and wanted to help him but he was simply powerless saying, "His Highness is busy today. Would you like me to pass on a message?"


    "No that''s okay. He wille to find me when his free. Many thanks," he said saluting the servant with a bright smile but couldn''t help sneer within, ''his royal douchebag no longer has time for me. You see Jolie the dumbfuck is so ungrateful.'' The system could only refute his words while making excuses for its boss as they walked back home feeling disheartened.


    A week went by but Qie Ranzhe still hadn''t appeared. Wen Qinxi almost grew mushrooms on the top of his head waiting for him. On the seventh day, he got an unexpected visit from Lee Jienjie which lifted his spirits a little. She had left town a month earlier to visit her rtives in the capital but Jolie knew all too well what this cute meimei was up to. She deliberately left earlier so it wouldn''t make it seem like she had followed Lin Jingxie to the capital. In other words, it was a carefully orchestrated coincidence that way she wouldn''t appear desperate. The rumours had already spread far and wide and it wouldn''t hurt making it real.


    Wen Qinxi weed her and invited his benefactor to have some tea with him in the beautiful garden. The two sat together and chatted amicably. "Are you nervous?" she asked while Wen Qinxi poured some tea for her.


    "No, haha what makes you say that? I don''t have panda eyes, do l?" he asked feeling his face in a yful manner. She was obviously referring to the imperial exam but given that this was Lin Jingxie''s special skill, the guys wasn''t nervous in the slightest. He could even write the exam in his sleep without studying.


    Lee Jienjie smiled ever so beautifully while cing her hand over his in a coy manner saying, "No, Jin-ge is as handsome as ever." She propped up her tilted head with her hand while lovingly gazing into his eyes. From afar the onlooking servants couldn''t help but praise the young master for finding such a dazzling beauty.


    The servants were too engrossed in the pink bubble scene that they didn''t notice when a group of young men entered the courtyard. In this group was Qie Ranzhe, Machu, Fourth and two other men with bruises all over their faces. For an entire week, Qie Ranzhe hadn''t known that Lin Jingxie hade looking for him. He was too busy executing his n that he only remembered that the imperial exam was taking ce the next day. It''s only then, did he enquire about Lin Jingxie arrival and found out from the servant that he hade looking for him a week ago but was turned away by his guards.


    Upset he punished the two guild members for not informing him and dragged them to the Lin family home to apologize to Lin Jingxie. He was both nervous and thrilled to see Lin Jingxie after such a long time bringing along a full set of jade ink brushes to gift Lin Jingxie and wish him luck for his exam but didn''t expect to witness such a heart-wrenching sight. Lin Jingxie was enjoying Lee Jienjie''spany sitting so close to each other just like a harmonious couple. Her hand was rubbing against him in a loving yet possessive way as though marking her territory.


    Everyone naturally paused in their tracks not daring to say anything. Lee Jienjie who had been ogling at Lin Jingxie soon nced over only to see a flustered Qie Ranzhe watching them with his dark wolf-like eyes. For Lin Jingxie, she was willing to do anything and in a moment of impulse, she leaned in and embraced an unsuspecting Lin Jingxie by his waist burying her head into his neck.


    Qie Ranzhe''s breathing became erratic with his fingers digging deep into each of his palms till they drew blood. Machu pulled on his sleeve trying to calm him down but Qie Ranzhe could barely hear him struggling to keep himself sane. The guild members who had tagged along couldn''t help but quiver being pressurized like this by a menacing Qie Ranzhe. It seemed as though Old Chen''s teachings had been effectively engraved into his system that he managed to suppress his emotions and smashed the gift he brought on the floor with a loud bang before exiting the Mansion. The group naturally followed behind him with the loud sound snapping the servants out of their trance.


    Earlier Wen Qinxi who had been embraced by Lee Jienjie froze in ce as he was rendered speechless by her behaviour. He politely patted her back beckoning her to release him. "Miss Lee people will surely misunderstand if you hug me like this. Think of your repu-," he said before he heard a loud sound as though something had been smashed on the floor.


    Lee Jienjie was tightly embracing his waist causing him to struggle to look over. With great difficulty, he finally managed to turn around but only saw the servants cleaning up and no one else. Lee Jienjie had held him tightly just now to stall for time, only loosening when Qie Ranzhe was gone. With a pouting face feeling wronged she said, "Jin-ge what reputation are you concerned about? Its already well known that you and I are in a rtionship. It''s toote to be concerned for my reputation," whilepletely letting go of him before sitting upright like a properdy.


    Wen Qinxi rubbed between his brows in frustration before saying, "What do you mean by that? Lee Jienjie wasn''t this your idea to help me?" He seriously couldn''t understand this girl who like a chameleon changed her colours so drastically turning the tables on him.


    Lee Jienjie wore a downcast expression while nervously rubbing her thumb attempting to sum up some courage. "Jin-ge, l love you and was hoping that you and l can make it official," she said in a low soft tone before she fell intoplete silence. The silence soon turned awkward with Lin Jingxie quietly kneading his forehead which made Lee Jienjie anxious. "You don''t have to answer me now. I know you like Qie Ranzhe more than you like me but you two naturally can''t be together. He''s a prince now and you are from a prestigious family. It is expected of both of you to produce heirs. The emperor w-," she said before she was cut off by Lin Jingxie.


    "I am sorry," he said before he stood up to leave. This thing hade back to haunt him only this time it was him being questioned. Was his rtionship with Qie Ranzhe that close that people would naturally assume they liked each other the way a man likes a woman? Wasn''t their interaction normal among friends? But why didn''t anyone ask if Machu liked Qie Ranzhe in that way? Why was it different when it came to him?


    All these questions flooded his mind as he walked out of the garden but he was soon embraced from behind by Lee Jienjie who was begging him to stay with her tears staining his back leaving a wet patch. Wen Qinxi felt emotionally unstable and could only squeeze out these few words, "I don''t like Qie Ranzhe in that way neither do l like you that way. I am sorry but l can only offer you friendship. Hope you understand," before forcibly peeling off her arms encircling his waist and walked away. A distressed Lee Jienjie was left dejected in the beautiful garden as her servant wiped her tears before taking her back home.

 Chapter 85: First World: Ghosting

    Chapter 85: First World: Ghosting


    Ghosting is when one suddenly cuts off personal rtions with someone without an exnation and Wen Qinxi had be an unfortunate victim. For two and half months the CEO hadn''t even spared Lin Jingxie a single nce well, at least not in public. Whenever they crossed paths, Wen Qinxi was handed an ice-cold shoulder as though they didn''t know each other.


    At first, Wen Qinxi thought he hadn''t seen him but after being bypassed four times it finally dawned on him. Qie Ranzhe didn''t respond to him even when he called out his name in public. The group of men treated him like air making it seem like he was a lunatic talking to himself in the street. Thest time he tried to call out to him, Wen Qinxi yelled out loud, "Qie Ranzhe you are a fuckin jerk," hoping to rouse a response out of him but only the guild members flinched a little. Qie Ranzhe seemed unfazed as he continued walking away.


    Wen Qinxi was perplexed by Qie Ranzhe''s behaviour venting out his frustration to the system. "He fuckin ghosted me, Jolie, just like that with no reason. Such an ungrateful bastard! After all we have been through, he treats me like shit!" he angrily professed the day he realised Qie Ranzhe was icing him out.


    He hoped the system would give him some form of exnation as it always defended its boss but at such a critical juncture, Jolie suddenly became mute speaking a mere handful of words. Like this, two months went by and the rest of the Lin family joined him only to find a disoriented Lin Jingxie locking himself up in his room. They brushed it off as Lin Jingxie being stressed out about the impending imperial exam results andforted him ordingly.


    While his family thought the anxiety of the imperial exam had made Lin Jingxie lose his mind, Wen Qinxi was going through an endless loop of the four stages of grief unable to reach the fifth. Though the system remained resolute in its decision to keep its mouth shut, it was just too painful to watch.


    Wen Qinxi was after all a human being with actual feelings unlike the NPCs in the game so whatever rtionship he built with Qie Ranzhe, to him it was as real as the sun. Though he cursed and yelled at Qie Ranzhe each day he had grown ustomed to his presence regarding him as a friend. Having suddenly lost that friendship he couldn''t help but grief.


    Today was such a day were Wen Qinxi was going through depression, the fourth stage of grief yet again. It had happened so many times that Jolie was now treating it as an endless menstrual cycle. His limbs were sprawled on the bed with his eyes tightly shut whining, "Ah that heartless bastard. Why do l feel like a used tampon? He befriended me, got what he wanted and just threw me out like a dirty old kitchen rag. He''s such a g man."


    "Why are you behaving like a girl who just got dumped after freely handing over her virginity. Have forgotten why you are here in the first ce?" said the system attempting to motivate Wen Qinxi by any means necessary.


    Wen Qinxi didn''t say anything mulling over what Jolie had said. The system was right, he wasn''t here to make friends with Qie Ranzhe. All he had to do was help him win this world and he didn''t have to interact with him to do that. The grey cloud that had been hovering above his head for more than two months gradually vanished as he sat up straight grinning happily. "Fuck! You are right. All l need to do is keep an eye on Prince Anzhie and hinder his ns then we can finally win this level," he eximed before jumping out of bed.


    The system wasn''t certain whether this was a good or bad thing but at least he wasn''t stewing on the bed like salted fish anymore. "Where are you going?" asked the anxious system just as Wen Qinxi opened the door.


    "Have you already forgotten? Today we are getting our imperial exam results so l need to get ready. Oh, l also need to spy on Prince Anzhie and find out what he''s been up to," he said before rushing off to take a bath.


    In under two hours, he was ready to leave wearing a dull coloured garment that everyone who participated in the imperial exam was required to wear. Though it wasn''t his style, he looked extremely eye-catching that Madam Lin couldn''t help butment.


    "Ah, my little schr looks exceptionally handsome. Don''t worry even if you don''t win first ce at least you will be the most handsome there," she said straightening out his clothes in a motherly way.


    Master Lin freed him from Madam Lin''s grasp nudging him to leave not forgetting to warn him, "Don''t bothering back home unless you are in the top five. The emperor will have a field day with me if you didn''t perform well." Wen Qinxi nodded in acknowledgement before exiting the mansion with Lin Mingxu as his personal escort. Ever since they arrived at the capital, he could tell his brother was going through something but Lin Jingxie refused to spit it out no matter what. Lin Mingxu could only endure watching his older brother sulkily shrivel up like cabbage left in the sun for too long. He tried everything to cheer him up which sometimes worked but Lin Jingxie would soon revert back to his gloomy self.


    Seeing him quite energetic today, Lin Mingxu couldn''t hold back and asked, "Did you get dumped or something? You haven''t been yourselftely and l know it has nothing to do with the exam," sjust as they entered the pce gates.


    Wen Qinxi lightly chuckled before blurting out, "Ming Ming you think too much. I just lost a friend that''s all." Lin Mingxu hadn''t seen Qie Ranzhe around ever since he reached the capital. He had been so happy thinking that Qie Ranzhe was too busy with his princely duties finally giving Lin Jingxie some space but didn''t realise that weren''t friends anymore.


    "For how long?" asked Lin Mingxu with aplicated expression on his face.


    Wen Qinxi stopped walking looking back at him as though studying his expression. He didn''t need an ability to read minds to tell what Lin Mingxu was thinking and so he scolded him, "Why do you look like a brother whose sister just got dumped by a g man? You know what.....l have to go. I will see you when l get home." Without any hesitation, he walked away leaving Lin Mingxu rooted in one spot.


    Lin Mingxu should have been celebrating but having personally witnessed his brother''s depressive state he couldn''t help but want to beat up that asshole. Like a parasitic vine, he had grown roots in Lin Jingxie''s life making him used to his presence then ditched him at the drop of a hat. If he didn''t beat Qie Ranzhe up today then his name isn''t Lin Mingxu.


    Unaware of Lin Mingxu''s dangerous thoughts, Wen Qinxi arrived at the main court picking a random spot to stand. He was standing amongst a boisterous crowd of schrs both young and old with an atmosphere brimming with anxiety. He wasn''t at all concerned about his results mapping out how to get rid of Prince Anzhie so he wouldn''t make trouble for Qie Ranzhe.


    "Bow before the emperor!" announced a stout old eunuch beckoning the group of schrs to kowtow. The emperor unhurriedly ambled to his throne asionally ncing sideways as though looking for someone. But because they all looked the same especially in their uniforms and bowed heads he decided to give up.


    Wen Qinxi had always been a bit curious to know how much the emperor resembled Qie Ranzhe plus he could see how an aged version of Qie Ranzhe would look like. Though curious this wasn''t the right ce or time to snoop so he suppressed his desire to look up.


    The entire court was silent with only sounds of unhurried footsteps. Just as the emperor passed him, Wen Qinxi''s nose suddenly itched as an autumn wind blew dust all around him. He sneezed twice sessfully attracting the emperor''s attention. The once faint footsteps grew louder and louder before gold brocade boots halted right in front of him.


    The oppressive forceing from above him caused his back to subconsciously shudder while thinking, ''Don''t tell me l will get executed for sneezing?''


    "Rise!"manded the emperor leaving Wen Qinxi no choice but to look up.

 Chapter 86: First World: Lin Ming Beats Qie Ran

    Chapter 86: First World: Lin Ming Beats Qie Ran


    Wen Qinxi raised his head only to before met by an exact replica of Qie Ranzhe. ''Damn it, even an older version of Qie Ranzhe looks ridiculously good,'' he thought peering at the man looking down at him. The emperor''s lips twitched and his cunning eyes brightened when he saw Lin Jingxie''s face.


    "Lin Mo''s son, right?" he asked but Wen Qinxi suddenly lost his voice feeling like a helpless cub reined into grown wolves'' business. He could only nod in response and the emperor followed up with a simplemand, "Follow me."


    A nervous Wen Qinxi followed behind entering the main hall not knowing what to expect. The emperor sat on his throne looking down at him without speaking for a long time. After what seemed like a year, a eunuch finally scurried in with a scroll and handed it to the emperor. His stern face suddenly turned roguish as soon as he read the contents. "You really didn''t save me any face, didn''t you?" said the emperor handing the scroll over to the eunuch to give it to Lin Jingxie.


    A puzzled Wen Qinxi opened the scroll only to see his name was ranked first. "How am l supposed to face Lin Mo now after losing the bet so miserably," said the emperor before letting out a heartyughter. Wen Qinxi didn''t know what to say. Was he supposed to say sorry it''s my gaming skill and l can''t fuckin control it?


    "My humble apologies your majesty," said Wen Qinxi trying to be as natural as possible.


    "No need for that, l picked a losing battle. I ha-," said the emperor before he was cut off by a loud crashing sound just outside the side door. They both turned to look in that direction only to have the door pushed open as a man''s bodynded on the ground with a bleeding nose and another yelling, "You fuckin asshole," while being held back by a third person.


    Who had the audacity to fight in the presence of the emperor? It was none other than Lin Mingxu and Qie Ranzhe. To fully understand what caused this explosive chain reaction we need to go back twenty minutes ago. Qie Ranzhe heard that Lin Jingxie would being to the pce to get his final results and decided to at least take a look at him from afar to satisfy his yearning for him.


    He had been impatiently pacing about waiting to see him when Machu who had secretly followed him decided to talk some sense into him. "Why can''t you just swallow your pride and have a heart to heart conversation with him? This is too fuckin abnormal stalking him everywhere he goes," said Machu wishing he could just lock them both up in a room till they resolved their problems.


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t say anything as he continued pacing like a confused puppy. He was afraid of what he might do to him when he sees him. Hug him, kiss him, fondle him, you name it, he wanted to do it all. But what if Lin Jingxie was happy with Lee Jienjie wouldn''t he ruin a good thing for him and be hated by him. A confused man continued to pace when a punch sessfullynded on his face.


    "You bastard! Didn''t l told you to stay away from him?" yelled a livid Lin Mingxu attempting to deliver another blow.


    Qie Ranzhe was confused for a short while but soon regained his senses as he stood up with a sly grin on his face. "Kid you sure are braveing at me with such an underhanded method," he said swiftly grabbing hold of Lin Mingxu who had been swinging his fist and ced the naive boy in a chokehold.


    Lin Mingxu didn''t make it easy for him struggling with all his might but it was simply hopeless. Annoyed by this wiggly worm, Qie Ranzhe tightened his grip till Lin Mingxu''s face flushed till he was unable to breathe properly. "Stay still otherwise you''ll get hurt," he said in a menacing tone that sent chills down Lin Mingxu''s spine.


    Seeing he couldn''t win, Lin Mingxu resorted to psychological warfare saying, "He considered you his friend but you abandoned him and threw him away when you were done using him."


    "Shut the fuck up. This has nothing to do with you," said Qie Ranzhe suppressing his anger. This kid actually dared to speak ill of him when he was the one who got betrayed.


    "Just because he didn''t reciprocate your feelings you deserted him as though everything that happened between you meant nothing? You knew this oue was possible the day you decided to befriend him fully aware of your own lewd thoughts only to ditch him when things didn''t go your fuckin way. Ho-," said Lin Mingxu but the hold around his neck tighten even more making him feel light-headed. Machu saw things were getting out of hand and tried to reason with Qie Ranzhe.


    "So what? I should silently watch him cosy up with Lee Jienjie and pretend that everything is fine?" he spoke in an almost brittle voice unconsciously restricting Lin Mingxu further. Just a glimpse at his face one could clearly see the mounting kill intent. Lin Jingxie was that special person that took care of him giving him that warmth he never had now all of it was being given to someone else. How did Lin Mingxu expect him to stand by and watch Lin Jingxie give his love to someone else?


    "Le...Lee Ji-Jienjie is.....not with Lin Ji-Jin," said Lin Mingxu in a hoarse voice with his vision almost blurry. Hearing this Qie Ranzhe''s body went numb, his brain malfunctioning as his anger turned to shock. Machu took advantage of his trance sessfully releasing Lin Mingxu.


    The boy staggered and fell straight into Machu''s arms. He coughed violently while holding his sore neck struggling to regte his breathing. Three minutes in Qie Ranzhe was still rooted in one spot stuck in a daze. With trembling hands, he turned to look at Lin Mingxu with a disbelieving expression.


    "You are lying, how dare you lie to me," he said with bloodshot eyes gazing at Lin Mingxu.


    "What do l have to cough* cough*....gain by lying to you," he said now standing upright with his hand still rubbing his pulsing throat.


    "But.....but.....l saw it. I saw," he said with his whole body weakening to the point where he could barely stand, "l saw."


    "You fuckin saw what you wanted to see, you bastard," he yelled and rushed to punch Qie Ranzhe once more. This time Qie Ranzhe waspletely off the rails crushing into the door with a loud thud before falling onto the ground. He could hear Lin Mingxu yelling but his ears were ringing as his unfocused eyes looked around for Lin Jingxie.


    "Jin-ge....Jin-ge," he mumbled calling for him even though he knew he would never answer his call. He had wronged Lin Jingxie ruining everything all because he didn''t trust him. After all that, how could Lin Jingxiee and answer his call?


    Like a lovely dream, Lin Jingxie appeared just like he did every night as soon as he closed his eyes. Though this time it was different, he wasn''t kissing him or holding his hand, no Lin Jingxie was gently pping his face as the ceiling spun around.


    The ps got harder but he couldn''t feel it, he was numb all over. Just when he was about to shut his eyes and sink further into his beautiful dream a jade pendant escaped from under Lin Jingxie''s clothes. The beautiful pendant dangled in his face causing a wave of warmth to spread all over his chest.


    "He kept it," he whispered with a foolish grin on his face before finally closing his eyes.


    "Huh, he fainted," said Wen Qinxi pping him hard not to wake him up but punish him for putting him through a lot of misery.

 Chapter 87: First World: Imperial Interdict

    Chapter 87: First World: Imperial Interdict


    Qie Ranzhe thoroughly indulged in what could only be described as a lovely spring dream featuring Lin Jingxie as the main lead. He was immensely engaged in that pleasurable dream that he couldn''t help but feel aggrieved when he was forcefully pulled out of his dream and drawn back to reality. Machu had been so worried about Qie Ranzhe especially when he had slept for an entire day with no physical signs of waking up.


    The royal physician had thoroughly examined Qie Ranzhe iming that there was absolutely nothing wrong with him and that he had overstimted himself to the point of copsing. He said Prince Ranzhe would naturally wake up of his own ord but twenty-four hours was a bit much so Machu finally gave in and woke him up.


    Seeing the displeasure written all over his countenance Machu couldn''t help but ask, "Ran-ge how long were you nning on sleeping for?"


    Qie Ranzhe grimaced a little when he felt a dull pain. His entire face hurt especially his left cheek. He vaguely remembered having a fight with Lin Mingxu but everything after that was just a blur. "What happened to my face?" he asked rubbing his face to ease the throbbing pain. In his dream he recalled being pped by Lin Jingxie, a painful yet enjoyable experience but why did his cheek hurt even after he woke up? "Did that kid actually p me?"


    Machu stared at him in astonishment wondering if Lin Jingxie had pped him silly. Could a mere p have this much of an effect? "Lin Jingxie did the pping but the rest was all Lin Mingxu. You really offended the two bro-," he replied but paused when Qie Ranzhe suddenly stood up with a meaningful expression all over his face.


    "It wasn''t a dream? Does he still care about me?" he asked with his bright eyes revealingplicated feelings.


    With that Manmchu finally got his answer, Qie Ranzhe was indeed pped so hard that his IQ dropped a notch.


    "If pping counts then yes, he absolutely cares about you," said Machu with a hint sarcasm but who knew Qie Ranzhe would bepletely ted by this statement. In under twenty minutes he was well dressed heading out of the door.


    A curious Machu couldn''t help but ask, "Where are you going?" with a puzzled look.


    "I am going to im what''s mine," he said before darting out of the door. When Qie Ranzhe said ''going to im what is mine'' he actually meant getting rid of thepetition by establishing his dominance like an alpha in a pack and his target being Lee Jienjie.


    The unsuspecting victim was busy mending her broken heart spoling herself with some jewellery when she was suddenly yanked out of the store by an anxious Qie Ranzhe. At first, she was surprised wondering what business she possibly had with this man but seeing how restless he was she almost immediately understood. It finally dawned on her that Lin Jingxie wasn''t the one who liked Qie Ranzhe but it was Qie Ranzhe who likes Lin Jingxie. Her frightened pale countenance rxed producing a sardonic smile with a subtle hint of fascination.


    Lee Jienjie didn''t even wait for him to speak his mind before she said, "Oh l see, you came here looking for a shoulder to cry on since we are both subjects of unrequited love," brazenly mocking Qie Ranzhe, "or maybe you want to us to get together and make Jin-ge regret not choosing one of us."


    Even though she was mocking him with a sly grin on her face, her bloodshot eyes betrayed her publicizing her true feelings to the world. Qie Ranzhe didn''t waste anytime with her getting straight to the point. "If you two weren''t together then why did the rest of the world think so?" He was here to get answers and wasn''t nning on leaving without them.


    "Ha! Why else but to protect him from the psycho bitch who won''t stop until she has you. Who do you think hired those bandits that day? I almost got vited because of you," she said with her voice suddenly turning brittle while blinking away her tears.


    Hearing this, Qie Ranz''s heart twisted in anguish. He had his suspicions but didn''t think Zhao Huangzhi would actually dare toy a finger on Lin Jingxie. With that revtion, he vowed to make her pay for what she did. The Zhao family had to be dealt with, it was now imperative to clip Zhao Huangzhi''s wings before she caused further trouble.


    Qie Ranzhe naturally didn''t see the point of hanging around here anymore so he turned on his heel to leave but Lee Jienjie stopped him saying, "l love him and l have done all l can to shield him. If you are going to like him then use whatever power you have to protect him because Zhao Huangzhi won''t be easy to deal with," as she wiped a tear escaping at the corner of her eye.


    He didn''t say anything simply nodding in response before walking away. He had finally confirmed that Lin Jingxie had nothing to do with Lee Jienjie now he had to make Lin Jingxie have something to do with him and the only person who could make that happen was his enthusiastic father who had monopolized him every single night demanding they have dinner together.


    As usual, Qie Ranzhe obliged the emperor and had dinner with him. They dined on a parlour overlooking a koi pond which was extremely beautiful but the two men seemed the least bit interested in the transcended scenery. Qie Ranzhe was busy ring at the hyperactive emperor who wouldn''t stop cing food in his bowl. It was as though he was deliberately fattening him up for ughter. "Are you done?" he asked in a toneless voice before gazing down at the small mountain of food in his bowl.


    The emperor wasn''t angry at this kind of address if anything his temperament reminded him of Shao Meili which softened his heart towards Qie Ranzhe. The boy had lived a hard life even though he wasn''t orphaned or abandoned. When he thought of that, Emperor Qie''s heart bled in agonizing pain urging him to shower his son with love hoping to overwrite Qie Ranzhe''s painful past.


    "What? Can''t I make up for all the years l missed?.... Here have another one," he said with a radiant smile that made it hard for Qie Ranzhe to refuse and the two chatted along till they ate their fill. It was only after dinner did Emperor Qie address the elephant in the room. "Have you considered my proposition?" asked the emperor as his aura shifted from doting father to tyrannical ruler in a split second.


    "Mn," he replied with a stern expression refusing to be suppressed by his father, "l will agree to be the crown prince under one condition."


    The emperor suddenly halted his steps gazing at his son with a glint of curiosity in his eyes. "Speak," he said with his unmoving gaze fixed on this son of his that was so naive to think he had a choice in this matter.


    "I want to marry Lin Jingxie but to do that l need an imperial interdict," he said staring back at his father with unyielding eyes.


    Emperor Qie was struck dumb but didn''t show a trace of it with his countenance remaining expressionless.Though rare it wasn''t unheard of but the thought of his son actually liking a man and on top of that Lin Mo''s son, the emperor couldn''t help but get a migraine.


    "A male consort?.....that your father can make it possi-," he said before Qie Ranzhe interjected saying,


    "Not as a consort but as my main and only wife. That''s my only request," he said but as soon as those words reached the emperor''s ears he almost spat out a mouthful of blood wondering how he was going to face his ancestors when he dies.


    "You!..... Do you want your father''s soul to be ripped to shreds by our ancestors? Such an unreasonable child. How about this, you take Zhao Huangzhi as your second wife so l can at least have a grandchild to show for it," he negotiated but didn''t expect his son to blow up like a pufferfish.


    "I will kill her the second ly eyes on her so don''t even try." Though said in a serene voice his tone was exceptionally murderous to the point that one would believe he would tear her limb from limb if she appeared in front of him.


    Though he couldn''t understand why his son would have an extreme reaction towards Zhao Huangzhi, he could only ept his words. There must be a dark history between them and he intended to dig it up. "Thats fine but do you know how difficult it''s going to be dealing with Lin Mo? You especially enjoy watching me suffer, don''t you? Spare this old man, l am too old to get into a fight," he pled with Qie Ranzhe but instead of sympathy his son smiled in a menacing way.


    "You are afraid of him, aren''t you?" he said beforenguidly strolling away after dropping such a huge bomb.


    "Who.....you....whose afraid. Ai, this child. How can you look down on your father like that?" he spoke undoubtedly feeling wronged.


    "Then l would have to trouble father to get me an imperial interdict," he said saluting the emperor with a beaming smile.


    Emperor Qie flung his sleeve in a humph before saying, "l will get it done as long as you keep your end of the bargain," before heading to his study.

 Chapter 88: First World: Flirting In Public

    Chapter 88: First World: Flirting In Public


    Emperor Qie didn''t leave Qie Ranzhe a chance to change his mind issuing out an imperial interdict with ease. With the interdict signed and sealed with the imperial seal, there was no turning back. During the day he took the time to invite Lin Mo and share the goods news with him that they were finally going to be inws. As expected the two got into an argument fierce enough to break bonds as thick as blood. It was only after throwing a few punches did they regain theirposure while sharing a drink. Though cordial none of them was actually willing topromise.


    The emperor didn''t seem to care proceeding to host dinner with the Lin family as the distinguished guests under the pretence of thanking them for taking care of Prince Ranzhe for him. The suave main hall was soon upied with the guests chatting away waiting for the emperor.


    Wen Qinxi and Lin Mingxu sat at the end of the hall keeping as much distance as they could from Master Lin in fear that he would explode at any moment. The fight had obviously reached Master Lin''s ears and as punishment he made them kneel on gravel for however long it took to burn two thick incense sticks. They knelt till their knees were painfully numb. It was so brutal that they still couldn''t walk properly.


    "Jin-ge why didn''t father have to force us toe here? Is he trying to make me apologise to that jerk because I won''t?"ined Lin Mingxu while rubbing his painful knees.


    "Maybe. Oh, by the way, why did you two even fight anyway? What made you so brave? Haven''t you always been afraid of him?" asked Wen Qinxi rubbing his own sore knees wishing he could soak them in hot water to ease the pain.


    The two brothers were too focused on their sore muscles that they didn''t notice when Qie Ranzhe walked in. As soon as Qie Ranzhe entered the main hall he was drawn into a conversation by an enthusiastic Madam Lin who hadn''t seen him for such a long time. They conversed for a while asionally ncing over in Lin Jingxi''s direction. Though Master Lin barely looked at him he noticed Qie Ranzhe''s subtle actions making him feel even more dissatisfied by the whole situation. It seemed Master Lin had found out about the interdict and wasn''t taking it too well which Qie Ranzhe understood and naturally refrained from talking to him much.


    Madam Lin finally let him and soon he set his eyes on two boys sitting furthest in the room. His steps slowed as he watched the man that made his heart itch whenever his mind drifted aimlessly into the happy memories they shared together. The man he longed for day and night was now inches away from him drawing him in with his pink supple lips curved up in a dazzling smile. His craving for Lin Jingxie''s sweet moist lips heightened inching dangerously close to the thin borderline between self-restraint and self-indulgence.


    He wanted to feel Lin Jingxe''s warmth under the palm of his hands but this wasn''t the time nor ce so he could only restrain himself unconsciously licking his lower lip as he gulped to moisten his dry throat. This task was going to prove difficult as the irresistible man who had grown a few inches taller with his handsome features appraised by age. He just couldn''t wait to make this man his and nothing beyond heaven and earth was going to stop him.


    Qie Ranzhe gave one Fourth a look as though issuing amand. With tacit understanding, Fourth immediately walked over to Lin Mingxu and lifted him up like a rag doll before cing him down one seat over creating space for the prince. With the obstacle removed, Qie Ranzhe naturally sat next Lin Jingxie as though what he had just done was normal. Lucky for him this banquet was rtively private otherwise this would have more embarrassing for Ling Mingxu. Two men, Lin Mingxu and Lin Mo were sending poisonous res at him but Qie Ranzhe didn''t seem to mind ogling at Lin Mingxu.


    He shamelessly shuffled closer to Lin Jingxie who had been ignoring him the entire time. ''Jolie, what''s up with your fucked up boss? Didn''t he avoid me like the gue all his time?'' asked Wen Qinxi covering his face with his hand while looking away.


    ''Maybe he finally acknowledged the error of his ways and wants to mend your friendship,'' said the system all smiles excitedly awaiting the wedding.


    Being ignored like this Qie Ranzhe couldn''t bear it anymore and moved in even closer till their shoulders brushed against each other before gently poking at Lin Jingxie''s waist under the table. But his stray finger was soon caught in a tight grip with Lin Jingxie squeezing so hard as though intending to break it. To Wen Qinxie''s surprise, Qie Ranzhe seemed pleased with himself smiling foolishly while looked down at their point of contact.


    "Are you a fucking masochist?" asked Wen Qinxi in a silent whisper so as not to let the rest hear their conversation but Qie Ranzhe brazenly imed that he couldn''t hear him due to the noisy cheers in the hall leaving Wen Qinxi with no choice but to whisper into his ear


    .


    When that familiar warm breathe brushed against his ear, Qie Ranzhe''s entire body reacted heating up from his heart to the soles of his feet and the hair on his head. The warm sensation clouded his mind so much so that he replied, "I can be if you like it," in an ambiguous tone.


    "Shameless," said Wen Qinxi looking away with a nk expression but his heart was in turmoil letting out an endless stream of curses within, ''fuck, fuck, fuck.'' Being teased like this by a handsome man straight or not you will definitely feel something either good or bad. He suddenly became annoyed wanting to get rid Qie Ranzhe by any means necessary.

 Chapter 89: First World: Empress Da-Xia

    Chapter 89: First World: Empress Da-Xia


    While trying to make up an excuse to leave he suddenly heard a low voice muttering, "l am sorry," in a sincere heartfelt tone that made Wen Qinxi subconsciously turn to look at him. He was faced by a tall man with a downcast expression his eyes flushed with guilt. He looked exceptionally obedient like a docile puppy which made Wen Qinxi feel likeughing. The usually arrogant CEO was unbelievably cute that Wen Qinxi couldn''t resist reaching out to pat his head. He pursed his lips covering up a smile before saying, "l haven''t forgiven you yet but l won''t ignore you. Behave and give this ancestor some space."


    Though reluctant, Qin Ranzhe shuffled a little instantly causing the two nosy men to heave a sigh of relief. But their relief was short-lived because Qie Ranzhe moved in closer once more whispering something with his hand ced on the ground behind Lin Jingxie which from their angle seemed extremely enigmatic. Ling Mingxu leaned backwards trying to see where Qie Ranzhe''s hand was touching but he no matter how much he craned his neck, he simply couldn''t see.


    Master Lin was about to stand up from hisfy cushion to reprimand them but Emperor Qie suddenly walked in and the first thing he saw was his son flirting in public. The emperor casually walked over and lightly smacked Qie Ranzhe''s head with his closed fan. This instantly burst the pink bubbles floating in the air with the ambiguous atmosphere disappearing in an instant. The father and son pair literally had a conversation with their eyes till Qie Ranzhe moved a few inches away from Lin Jingxie.


    Satisfied the emperor settled down after some salutations with food immediately following after. He was slightly disappointed when his wife and his older son didn''t ept his invitation but this event was important to him so he could only continue. The conversation soon died down as the guests indulged themselves in delicious food ignoring the salty atmosphere gradually filling the air. Master Lin and the emperor kept on ncing at each other with one wanting to say something but the other giving him a look that seemed to say ''don''t you fuckin dare''. Emperor Qie ignored him and loudly cleared his throat before opening his mouth, "l ha-," but didn''t continue when Lin Mo stood up and interrupting with his cup raised saying,


    "I am truly grateful for his majesty''s kindness we aren''t worthy of such a great honour. This drink is to thank you for inviting us to your beautiful home," and both men drank their wine in one go with their eyes stuck in a stalemate.


    The atmosphere turned lively withughter and alcohol flowing but Lin Mo took this chance to scold his childhood friend. "Why are you so enthusiastic, I haven''t even told my wife let alone Lin Jingxie yet you want to announce to the whole world?" he said in an icy tone.


    Emperor Qie let out haughtyughter while taking a sip from his now filled cup, "These things should just be said fast like ripping off a bandage. It will hurt once but you will soon forget and move on."


    "You scoundrel you haven''t even got Lin Jingxie to agree," said Lin Mo with his eyes shifting non-stop as though checking if someone overheard them.


    "Haha, you still need his consent when l the emperor issued that order? Haha, you must be joking. Fine, leave it to me. I will get him to agree with ease," said emperor Qie looking like he had heard the funniest joke of the year.


    "You.....," said a speechless Lin Mo. He dared not think what kind of scrupulous method the emperor would use to win over Lin Jingxie. He suddenly sympathised with his son. Seeing a tongue-tied Lin Mo, Emperor Qie felt amused having for once got the upper hand over his friend.


    He was about to gloat when the door was violently pushed open letting in a bone-chilling breeze followed by agonizing shrieks filling the once boisterous room. Empress Da-Xia crawled into the room with disbelieved hair, swollen bloodshot eyes and scratches all over her body some healed and some fresh with blood seeping out of them. Though top quality her blood-stained clothes were torn exposing hercerated calves and shoulders. The entire scene was simply unsightly but the empress didn''t seem to care for her appearance resembling that of a madman.


    The deadly pale woman kept scratching at the already open wounds as though unconscious of the pain as her entire body trembled like a leaf. Her servants rushed over apologizing to the emperor but the shooked emperor rushed over to help his wife. Seeing in this state, he couldn''t help but ask, "Who did this?" He couldn''tprehend how his wife turned out this way when she fine just a week ago. This past week she had refused to see him using QIe Ranzhe''s presence has an excuse. Thinking she needed time to ept it, he granted her wish and gave her space but who could have thought in that one week something as gruesome as this could ur.


    Before he could reach and help her up, Qie Ranzhe suddenly stopped him with a frown on his face. Emperor Qie was about to shake off his son but changed his mind when she spoke with a brittle voice, "I did it, I did it....Shao Meili, I did it!" as though talking to someone with her gaze fixed at an empty space like she was talking to a ghost, "You will leave me alone right...right? If l say it you will go?" She fell silent for a while before nodding with a smile of relief appearing on her face as though whoever she was talking to had agreed.


    "I will tell them everything as long as you leave me alone," she continued while scratching her scalp with her long nails stained with blood before turning to face her baffled husband.

 Chapter 90: First World: The Protagonists face-slapping moment

    Chapter 90: First World: The Protagonist''s face-pping moment


    "I will tell them. I will tell them everything," said a trembling shabby looking woman kneeling at the centre of the hall. Everyone''s gazes fell on her, some sympathetic and others ready to see a good show. Wen Qinxi was busy scratching his head asionally shooting nces at Qie Ranzhe while conversing with the system. ''Did he do this?'' he asked wishing he had a coat to cover up the empress'' exposed skin. He didn''t care for her but neither could stomach seeing a woman exposed like that.


    ording to the information he received when he first entered the game, Empress Da-Xia had something to do with Shao Meili''s death but her crimes never saw the light of day. It seemed as though things had changed and this could only be Qie Ranzhe''s doing but why didn''t he do this when he was stuck in the endless loop of the plotline before? Why was it when he interfered Qie Ranzhe suddenly got inspired to take revenge?


    ''He did it not only for revenge but eliminate anyone powerful enough to challenge his authority in the future. He wants to fulfil his promise to you," said the excited system eating invisible popcorn. It found this live dog blood drama fascinating.


    ''What promise?'' asked a confused Wen Qinxi.


    ''Protection. Don''t you remember what you said to him when he asked why you were being nice to him? You said that you wanted him to be powerful enough to protect you. That''s why he''s eliminating anyone powerful enough to challenge his authority and Empress Da-Xia is one of them. Now, shhh l want to watch the protagonist''s face-pping moment,'' replied the system nning on ignoring Wen Qinxi if he asked any more silly questions.


    At the mention of the word protection, Wen Qinxi couldn''t help but feel pleased. As always this CEO was extremely reliable and kept to his word. Unknowingly, Wen Qinxi let out a subtle smile directed at Qie Ranzhe the kind of sincere smile that one wouldn''t notice unless they looked closely. Being smiled at like this with a gentle gaze, Qie Ranzhe''s heart almost leapt out of his chest with his face gradually heating up. This kind of look was too dangerous so he abruptly turned away not daring to look at Lin Jingxie ever again. ''What the fuck did l do to him now?'' thought Wen Qinxi feeling wronged. He decided not to pay him attention any more choosing to watch the show that was more dramatic than the real housewives.


    Emperor Qie''s heart sank when he heard his wife mention his concubine''s name. When Shao Meili disappeared he searched everywhere for her and only gave up after four years assuming that his lover had crossed the border to either of their numerous allies to hide from him. He yearned for her night and day hoping to see her again but that hope shattered when he heard Qie Ranzhe''s story. Shao Meili was the type of person who wouldn''t even abandon a mere squire in the army let alone her child. There was only one possibility which was Shao Meili had passed away right after she gave birth to Qie Ranzhe. He just didn''t expect that his wife was involved in his concubine''s sudden disappearance.With reddened eyes and a slight tremble at his fingertips, Emperor Qiemanded, "Speak," in a dead voice.


    Empress Da-Xia crawled to her husband and spilt the beans, "She left you so what right did that bitch have toe back. I was the one who helped you piece your broken heart together yet she came back and ruined things for me...Ah!" she burst out in a loud screamed while crawling backwards as though being chased by a poltergeist that only she could see.


    "Bitch get your filthy hands off him!" she yelled with terror-filled eyes but she didn''t dare move closer to her husband anymore. She lifted her trembling finger pointing at something besides the emperor and everyone followed her gaze but there was nothing. "I stabbed your belly so many times so how did that bastard of yours survive? What kind of witchcraft did you use to bring this bastard to haunt me? Tell me l want to know?" she said with thest part said as she cried hysterically.


    Pa! A loud resounded in the silent hall when the emperor suddenly pped the Empress with the back of his hand. How could he have possibly shared a bed with the woman who murdered the love of his life in cold blood trying to kill his unborn child? With his rage concentrated in his hand, he pped her so hard that she passed out. His chest heaved violently while looking down at this vile woman with disgust. He wanted to strangle her to death but restrained himself as death was too simple of a punishment for her. No, she had to slowly pay till she begged him to kill her.


    Without ncing sideways, he walked out of the main hall with the guards following behind while dragging the unconscious empress like a dead animal. Even more, guards came in and apprehended all her servants dragging them out as well.


    After being dismissed by the emperor''s head eunuch, the people left the main hall as quickly as possible so they could retell tonight''s events to those who weren''t lucky enough to witness such an interesting show.


    Master Lin instructed Lin Mingxu and Lin Jingxie to take their mother home before walking towards the direction that Emperor Qie headed off to. Madam Lin naturally understood and walked beside her children heading for the pce gates but they soon stopped when they heard someone calling out, "Lin Jingxie!" in voice pitiful voice.


    It was none other than Qie Ranzhe standing behind them with an ashen face and bloodshot eyes his demeanour undoubtedly shaken with grief. Wen Qinxi peered at him unable to discern whether he was being genuine or acting since he was the mastermind of this whole plot. Before he could even respond, Madam Lin beckoned him to gofort his friend in a forceful manner leaving Lin Jingxie with no chance to refuse.


    "Your friend needs you right now. Go take care of him. I will go home with Ming Ming," she said giving him a gentle nudge when she saw that her son remained unmoved. Lin Mingxu wanted to protest on behalf of his brother''s but his mother pulled him away causing him to swallow his words.

 Chapter 91: First World: Is He Seducing Me?

    Chapter 91: First World: Is He Seducing Me?


    They ambled in silence till they reached Qie Ranzhe''s Pavillion with one looking for words tofort and the other thinking of ways to propose marriage. Like this, the two sat across each other uncertain of how to break the ice. It was Wen Qinxi who couldn''t stand the silence anymore inquiring, "Are you okay?" but Qie Ranzhe didn''t say a word only shaking his droopy head like a sad puppy.


    Wen Qinxi felt his chest tighten sympathising with him. His father died in the mines when his mother was two months pregnant with Wen Danzhe and he was barely a year old. He had experienced the pain of losing someone but not the grieving process as he was too young to understand when it happened. At least he knew his father''s death was idental but how about Qie Ranzhe whose mother was murdered. Though it was just an in-game setting to Qie Ranzhe it was as real as day.


    He stood up and sat next to him saying, "It gets easier just give it some time," but just as he finished saying this, Qie Ranzhe suddenly embraced him burying his head in Lin Jingxie''s neck. He drew a long breathe sniffing that familiar scent and just like an addict his restless heart was momentarily settled. Qie Ranzhe wasn''t polite in his actions tightening the hug as though intending to infuse their bodies together.


    Wen Qinxi felt the man tighten his hold and assumed he was distressed so he gently stroked Qie Ranzhe''s hair whisperingforting words. "You will be okay... I am here with you, okay?" If Wen Qinxi ever found out that this person was acting pitiful just to eat his tofu, he would beat him ck and blue.


    They stayed like this for what seemed like an eternity that is until a servant brought in some tea handing their passionate moment. Wen Qinxi had to push a reluctant Qie Ranzhe away as he was too embarrassed hugging Qie Ranzhe like that in the presence of onlookers. Having been pushed away like that, Qie Ranzhe red at the servant with a ''you are finished'' look that terrified the servant instantly turning her feet to jelly before scurrying away in an awkward manner.


    Wen Qinxi didn''t notice all this as he sipped his tea asking, "Why were you avoiding me before?" He initially wanted to let it slide but he didn''t know what else to say to divert Qie Ranzhe''s attention.


    This was thest thing Qie Ranzhe wanted to talk about so he hurriedly lifted up Lin Jingxie''s pants tying to check his knee as he had noticed earlier that lin Jingxie had been rubbing them in the main hall.


    A shocked Wen Qinxi almost spit out his tea before panickingly asking, "What the fuck are you doing?" before mming the cup on the table to stop Qie Ranzhe''s disrespectful hands. He usually wouldn''t have this much of a big reaction but his body immediately recalled that sensual night when Wen Qinxi junior shamelessly rubbed against Qie Ranzhe''s thigh till he reached seventh Heaven, the most intense orgasm of his entire life. In fear of his junior waking up without permission, he grasped Qie Ranzhe''s groping hands scolding him, "You can''t just touch without permission."


    Qie Ranzhe found his odd behaviour strange but chose the grown-up route that is not teasing Lin Jingxie. "I saw you rubbing your knees earlier and was only concerned for you?"


    Wen Qinxi drooped his head ashamed responding with just one word, "Oh," and let him continue rolling up his pants to exam his knees.


    They were red and slightly swollen with smallcerations from the gravel. Qie Ranzhe gently tapped the knee causing Wen Qinxi to grimace in pain grabbing hold of Qie Ranzhe''s finger to stop his actions. "Don''t, it hurts," he said before biting his lower lip in pain. To be frank the pain would be considered bearable but for a man who feared pain like him, it was equivalent to being stabbed in the gut.


    Qie Ranzhe froze gawking at Lin Jingxie''s alluringsh lips with amorous eyes. Why couldn''t he just kiss him and deal with the consequencester? This seemed like a good n so he leaned in with his arm crossing in front of Lin Jingxie till it reached the ground ultimately bringing his face closer till their warm breathe tangled with each other.


    Wen Qinxi''s heart raced like a bullet train yelling within, ''Fuck is he trying to seduce me!'' but no one answered. Even the system that loved making snortyments had gone AWOL (Absent without official leave).


    A hot flush crept up on his face as he helplessly stammered, "Wha-what...what are you doing?" while leaning backwards.


    Qie Ranzhe''s eyes were hypnotised by Lin Jingxie''s tempting lips. Ever since that kiss on the beach, he craved that delectable sweet taste which like fine wine intensified with age. Feeling Lin Jingxie''s quail next to him, he snapped out of his trance and instantly wore a puzzled look while quickly making up an excuse. "I need this," he said taking his sword he had ced next to him earlier but was moved by Lin Jingxie when he came to sit next to him.


    "Oh," replied Wen Qinxi in a hoarse voice as his throat felt extremely dry. His thirst intensified feeling as though the room had suddenly turned a few degrees warmer making it had to breathe. Qie Ranzhe grabbed his sword and stood up to get some fresh air saying, "Wait here l will go get you some ointment for your knees," but Wen Qinxi didn''t hear anything simply patting his hot cheeks with his hands.


    ''Jolie l am so thirsty. Is it only me or it suddenly got hot?'' he said now fanning his face while gulping down a cup of tea.


    ''Huh, probably thirsty for something else,'' said the system feeling envious.


    Wen Qinxi finished drinking his tea and asked,'' What?'' with a raised brow.


    ''Nothing,'' said the system sensing impending danger.


    Masked men had broken into the Pavillion and released knock-out powder rendering the entire mansion defenceless. The smell quickly spread to all four corners of the Pavillion including the dispensary were Qie Ranzhe was searching for the ointment. Once he smelt it, Qie Ranzhe in a frenzy dampened his handkerchief and covered his nose before dashing towards his room jumping over some copsed servants. He hurriedly kicked down the door frantically searching for Lin Jingxie in the smoke-filled room but he wasn''t there. Lin Jingxie had vanished.

 Chapter 92: First World: Kidnapee Becomes The Kidnaper

    Chapter 92: First World: Kidnapee Bes The Kidnaper


    A beast on arampage tearing throughout a city would be far less terrifying than Qie Ranzhe at this moment. Given a choice, his victims would rather Qie Ranzhewent berserk and blindly ughter at least then they had a chance to getaway. This calm yet sinister version of Qie Ranzhe had people walking on thin ice no matter who they were. Like a missile with a locked target, Qie Ranzhe was urate and precise ruthlessly shing his way through Zhao manor killing anyone who dared block his path. His sweetheart was missing and he knew who exactly the culprit was.


    An oblivious Master Zhao was busy enjoying himself in the bedroom with one of his concubines when the door was suddenly kicked open. Five familiar faces entered the room disturbing the Prime Minister''s humping session with his barely legal concubine. He was scared stiff with his tool inside the young maiden under him who was making exaggerated moaning sounds that could be heard across the entire mansion.


    Flushed with both anger and embarrassment, the Prime Minister was about to express his anger but before he could utter a single word he was dragged by the hair and tossed on the ground right at Qie Ranzhe''s feet. Fourth ruthlessly kicked the naked man in the stomach a couple of times before throwing a garment at him. "Get dressed," said Fourth.


    Seeing her husband being kicked like this, the concubine couldn''t help but scream for help while covering her exposed body with the quilt. "Shut the fuck up!" said Eighth pointing his knife in her direction. The maiden naturally understood and instantly became as quiet as a mouse half-covering her face while trembling in fear.


    Master Zhao hastily got dressed with an ugly expression on his face before daring to say, "Your Highness is quite brazen walking into my house like this and harassing my family. Don''t you know the severity of the consequences ofmitting such a crime?"


    Another guild member brought a chair for Qie Ranzhe whonguorously sat while yfully twirling a dagger in-between his slender fingers. "Thank you for your concern Prime Minister but the person you should be more worried about is yourself," he said as Fourth mmed neat piles of documents in front of a kneeling Master Zhao.


    The scruffy-looking man looked down at the piles of paper and his eyes widened bit by bit as his once flushed face turned grey. "As you can clearly see, you have a lot of things to worry about. I can simply overlook your family''s atrocious acts if you tell me where I can find Zhao Huangzhi," he said watching the man who seemed to have aged ten years older in a split second.


    "That''s nder, the emperor would never believe such unfounded usations," said the man holding out some papers with trembling hands.


    Qie Ranzhe leaned back in his chair with a menacingugh, "Oh, you want to y that card? Okay, l understand but here is the thing, l don''t have time to y this game with you as you can see l am short of time. Since you are of no use to me then l will be taking my leave," he said before standing up to leave, "Castrate him and feed him his penis before letting him go." Hearing this Master Zhao naturally covered his special area begging Prince Ranzhe toe back so they could re-negotiate. Eighth was already holding him down eagerly preparing to butcher a certain fleshy part.


    "No! Please Prince Ranzhe wait!" pled Master Zhao but Qie Ranzhe didn''t stop. His member was soon gripped tightly through the fabric as the knife-edge inched closer and closer. "Her mother''s family home up the mountain!" he yelled causing Qie Ranzhe to pause in his tracks as the corner of his mouth arched into a half-smile. Eighth stopped his actions with an obviously disappointed expression. Seeing this Master Zhao rxed and covered his groin saying, "If she''s not in the mansion then that''s where she is. Just promise me you won''t kill her."


    At that moment Machu came into the room to report, "Ran-ge she''s not here. We searched the entire mansion but there is no sign of her."


    Qie Ranzhe patted Machu''s shoulder before heading out and the rest naturally followed behind. A panicked Master Zhao called after them saying, "Your Highness please don''t kill my daughter! Ple-please!" He ran after them and kowtowed before Qie Ranzhe pleading for mercy, "I promise to keep her away from you by all means necessary, Your Highness please spare her."


    "I will think about it," said Qie Ranzhe before walking past him leaving behind the mansion with a lingering smell of blood emitting from the dead corpses.


    Wen Qinxi was woken up by a sharp pain that could be from a sharp knifecerating his skin. The pain jolted him from his unconscious state as he hissed in pain. Not only did he feel pain from the open cut wound but everything else hurt. A dull aching pain throbbed from within his scalp like he was having a hangover without the benefits of being drunk the previous night. ''Fuck! How is this different from getting tooth decay without even enjoying the candy,'' he thought feeling rather disoriented.


    ''That''s a weird analogy especially for a person who''s being held captive by a crazy bitch,'' said Jolie unable to resist the urge to respond.


    Wen Qinxi panickingly opened his hazy eyes slowly adapting to the lighting. Before he could even scrutinise his environment carefully, he heard a familiar gentle voice saying, "l knew this would wake you up," before the person sauntered and squatted in front of him.


    "Zhao Huangzhi!" he said in utter disbelief almost forgetting the excruciating pain on his body.


    Howe things had spun in this weird direction? How could the kidnapee turn out to be his kidnapper in this current plotline? She was wearing a wolfish grin while proudly waving around a sophisticated dagger with sparkly gems on its hilt. His blood slowly flowed down at the sharp edge of the dagger before dripping onto the floor. Wen Qinxi felt a chill in his bone as he broke out into a cold sweat only to look down and see his top half had been stripped naked. "What the fuck!" cursed Wen Qinxi trying to free his arms that had been securely tied behind a pir.

 Chapter 93: First World: Kidnapee Becomes The Kidnaper (Cont.)

    Chapter 93: First World: Kidnapee Bes The Kidnaper (Cont.)


    Zhao Huangzhi burst out in coldughter as she stood up with crazed eyes which made her seem like a venomous beauty. "You can curse all you want but it''s pointless. Let''s just get one thing straight, you aren''t going to walk out of that door alive," she said pointing at the wooden door with her dagger before sitting down as though patiently waiting for someone or something to happen.


    Wen Qinxi looked down at the cut seeping out blood and couldn''t help but negotiate, "You don''t have to do this, haven''t I always been nice to you?" while fending off the nauseous feeling creeping up his neck.


    Zhao Huangzhi sneered at him, "Nice is that what you call it? You stole him from me gifting him with things and feeding him. Those feelings he has for you were all meant to be for me. You fucking vixen, he belongs to me!"


    Wen Qinxi suddenly missed the Zhao Huangzhi in the real world at least she was more sensible than this Zhao Huangzhi. "The feelings he has towards me are nothing more than pure friendship, not all what you are thinking," he said trying to appease her but who knew she would stand up the next second and torture him to bits.


    She crouched down before him and proceeded to make three more shallow cuts across his chest venting her frustration. "You still fucking dare to deny it?" she said but Wen Qinxi didn''t respond wailing within to the system.


    ''AHAHAHAH Jolie it fuckin hurts lower the pain index otherwise this ancestor will die of pain!'' he screamed internally unable to bear it. This was too much to handle for an algiophobic like him.


    ''Don''t be a fuckin drama queen. I lowered the pain index to the lowest possible setting. The pain you are feeling now is simr to period pains girls experience when aunt flow pays them a visit every month,'' said the system wishing it could flee from such an embarrassing situation. If they were in public it would definitely pretend not to know him.


    ''What! Girls go through this shit every month? How is it any worse than torture?'' he said grimacing in pain with a newfound respect for women. Having being tormented like that by this vile woman, Wen Qinxi shut his mouth and lowered his head choosing not to indulge the crazy woman.


    "I am sorry you have to endure a little longer before l kill you. You can understand the desperate situation l am currently in. Only you can understand the dire constricting ache that mounts up the longer you don''t set your eyes on him. You do understand how it feels, right? You are the only one who understands how l feel. We both love the same person so its only natural that we understand each other, right?" she yammered on with half her words not making any sense.


    "Who the fuck loves who?" he said with a baffled expression. This again, why was he always getting misunderstood when it came to Qie Ranzhe? How could simply befriending someone automatically turn to a love affair? ''Fuck it,'' he thought vowing to ask Qie Ranzhe directly if he survives this.


    Zhao Huangzhi seemed angered by this ungrateful bastard who couldn''t possibly appreciate what he had. If only Qie Ranzhe would look at her half the way he looked at Lin Jingxie she would be extremely satisfied yet this guy who had everything she desired didn''t seem to treasure it much. In anger she pped him hard across the face yelling, "Shut up you ungrateful bitch!.....You know," she said pinching his chin while studying his charming face, "l just had a great idea. If l burn your face he won''t like you anymore. Howe l didn''t think of it before?" She leapt up in and strutted outside to the Kang-bed stove and picked up a fire poker before patiently cing it into the glowing amber. She took out the fire poker and scrutinized the red glowing end of the tool till she nodded in satisfaction.


    "This way you can understand what l am going through," excitedly nced over at him as she entered the room again.


    "Zhao Huangzhi let''s be reasonable. How about this, if you let me go l will just disappear forever and you guys can work it out and finally be together? There.....there''s really no need for such drastic measures," he said with beads of sweat forming on his forehead. He was so terrified of any kind of pain and didn''t want a burn scar to remind of the gruesome pain. He desperately struggled to no avail unable to loosen up the tight rope.


    ''Boss, rx the pain index is set on low,'' said the system as Wen Qinxi''s heart rate spiked uncontrobly.


    ''You are the one to talk when l am the one whose going to get my fuckin face burnt off,'' he replied to the system while vigntly watching Zhao Huangzhi.


    "I promise, this will be quick and painless," she said walking over to him proudly staring at the glowing fire poker


    "Fuck!" yelled a petrified Wen Qinxi tightly shutting his eyes and his face turned away almost sticking to the pir. With the searing heat approaching his delicate face, Wen Qinxi was sure he was a goner preparing himself to sumb to his unfortunate fate.


    Out of nowhere, the door was suddenly pushed open and in just two strides, a man walked in smacked Zhao Huangzhi so hard that she came tumbling down on the floor with a loud thud. She cried out in pain cursing out loud but the man yelled at her, "Shut up!" pointing the Hei An Zhi sword at her throat. "Didn''t l tell you that l need him unharmed!"


    "Qie Anzhie you dare point that sword at me!" she yelled with a bitter voice feeling wronged. She gave him that sword yet he had the audacity to threaten her with it.


    Qie Anzhie didn''t pay her any mind and crouched down gripping Lin Jingxie''s hair while pulling at it so much as though trying to rip it off his scalp. "This is my dim-witted brother''s most important person and my key to the throne but he will be useless if he''s damaged goods," he said admiring Lin Jingxie''s side profile.

 Chapter 94: First World: A Good Bargaining Chip

    Chapter 94: First World: A Good Bargaining Chip


    Never in a million years did Wen Qinxi ever think he would be stuck in this kind of situation. It never crossed his mind that one day he would be held captive by a dazzling beauty who actually wanted his head and a desperate prince who wanted to use him as a bargaining chip. How fucked was that? He tried to minimize his presence by keeping his mouth shut as the two viins, who couldn''t agree on what to do with him quarreled like a divorced couple arguing over how to parent their child.


    He twisted his sore wrists that were being bruised by the tight rope trying to find a less painful position. Wen Qinxi was preupied twisting his painful wrists that he didn''t notice a change in atmosphere. The heated argument had suddenly died down and their once flustered face had resigned to an ashen pale. The two simultaneously turned to look at Lin Jingxie who was still struggling with his wrists to ease his difort. Feeling the somewhat strange atmosphere, Wen Qinxi finally lifted his head only to find the two staring at him in awkward silence.


    "What?" he asked pausing the action that could easily be mistaken as him attempting to escape. Thinking they had misunderstood him he said, "Haha, l wasn''t trying to escape. It''s just that these ropes are a little tight. l was just trying to look for afortable position," nervouslyughing trying to appease the two gazing at him with nk expressions.


    "What kind of witchcraft did you feed that bastard?" asked Qie Anzhie unhurriedly sauntering towards him before crouching down and gently pped his face. It was obvious these two hadn''t expected Qie Ranzhe to show up out of the blue. They had only implemented phase one of the n and were currently arguing over phase two but now Qie Ranzhe had made an early appearance immediately fast-tracking the situation to phase ten. Qie Anzhie couldn''t help but get upset with his half brother. Didn''t the bastard know how to follow the golden rules of a good plotiline and wait till the end to rescue the damsel? Now Qie Anzhie was forced to improvise and work with what he had.


    A confused Wen Qinxi gazed at him with a raised brow asking, "What do you mean?"


    Qie Anzhie raised one corner of his lip in a sarcastic smile while snorting, "Be a good bargaining chip and stay put." Just like that he stood up and left leaving behind the juicymb with the hungry wolf Zhao Huangzhi.


    ''Fuck doesn''t he know he can''t leave the prey with a vicious predator?'' thought Wen Qinxi ncing over to Zhao Huangzhi who was staring at something with an intend gaze. Wen Qinxi followed her gaze only to catch the vile woman staring at the fire poker that had dropped on floor when Qie Anzhie had pped her earlier.


    "Zhao Huangzhi don''t. Let''s be reasonable," he said ncing at the fire poker then back at her. He helplessly watched her enthusiastically walk over and pick up the fire poker but her face soon fell when she realised it was no longer hot.


    "I will be right back," she said and skipped out of the room with a psycho smile stered on her gorgeous face.


    ''Jolie, if shees back with that fire poker l, am going to fuckin head butt her. I don''t hit women but we can all see how special these circumstances are,'' said Wen Qinxi trying to stand up on his feet with great difficulty.


    ''Not only women, but you also don''t hit men either. Is it because you are too weak,'' said the system not missing the opportunity to taunt Wen Qinxi, ''Maybe you don''t fight because you are a fuckin hippie?''


    ''Piss off!'' replied Wen Qinxi now standing upright with his back against the pir.


    ***


    Qie Anzhie exited the room ready to face off with his brother who had called out to him earlier. Unexpectedly, Qie Ranzhe hade prepared with the full force of the guild backing him up. The scene was extremely terrifying but Qie Anzhie kept his cool even going as far as mocking Qie Ranzhe. His hired men with on par skills to those of the guild members were guarding his golden goose so he wasn''t the least bit concerned especially when he had already instructed them to kill Lin Jingxie if things went south. "I didn''t think brother was this much of a coward bringing an entire army to take down little old me. This is a family matter and there''s no need to involve outsiders," he said with one hand behind his back stealthily taking out a golden pin from his wrist brace while leisurely fanning himself exuding a noble aura.


    His mother''s crimes had already been brought to light and it was only a matter of time before his father woulde knocking at his door. He hoped to use this bargaining chip to ascend the throne that should have been his as he had been the only heir before Qie Ranzhe showed up. Qie Anzhie wasn''t stupid, he also anticipated that their negotiations might fall through which would undoubtfully lead to a one on one confrontation with Qie Ranzhe. Based on past experience he knew he couldn''t win against his brother so he prepared a pin coated with an untraceable deadly drug.


    All he had to do was pierce Qie Ranazhe''s skin with the pin which will instantly kill him. Because the drug was untraceable and showed no signs of poisoning on its unfortunate victims the royal physician would rule it as an idental death. With no other heir his father will be forced to crown him as his sessor. It was a wless n but who would have thought the brat would bring along such a powerful backing. There were now too many witnesses which was extremely troublesome.


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t saying anything with his dark eyes following the pacing Qie Anzhie while emitting an unprecedented kill intent. "Prince Anzhie, why not release Lin Jingxie so we can just pretend that none of this happened and carry on living afy life in the pce. Bring him out while you still have a shot at redemption," said Fourth with a smirk on his face.


    Qie Anzhie couldn''t help but let out a sarcasticugh before saying, "You must think l am an idiot. That brother of mine won''t rest till l am dead. Look at him, murder is written all over his face," pointing at Qie Ranzhe who was fighting hard to keep sane.


    "Well, it was worth a shot seeing that you were stupid enough to kidnap someone important to the vice head of the Ye Lang guild. Then name your price maybe you get out of this unscathed," said Fourthnguidly folding his arms across his chest.


    "Now we are talking. What do l want?...," he said with his eyes a few shades brighter and a brooding countenance as though seriously thinking it over, "What l want is actually simple. I want the throne and the full backing of Ye Lang guild. Will just sign on it then l will release him to you," he said taking out a neatly folded piece of paper from his pocket.


    The guild members couldn''t hold back theirughter. This was most certainly the biggest joke of the year. "Wow, wow, wow. You have such great aspirations," said Fourth with a smile that sent chills down Qie Anzhie''s spine.

 Chapter 95: First World: Pass Or Fail This World

    Chapter 95: First World: Pass Or Fail This World


    It took everything within him to maintain hisposure before finally saying, "Brother how about it? It be fine too if you don''t agree to my terms. I will just screw the precious young master of your-," but he didn''t get to finish his statement when Qie Ranzhe suddenly lunged in his direction swinging his sword with unfathomed agility.


    Qie Anzhie dodged his attack and drew Hei An Zhi with a loud hissing sound. The legendary sword seemed like a living thing as it shimmered thirsty for blood. With that sword in hand, Qie Anzhie''s swordsmanship skills seemed to have increased to a whole new level as he could effectively defend against Qie Ranzhe''s attacks. The longer this roach breathed the same air as him the angrier Qie Ranzhe got. He ruthlessly intensified his attacks with each swing with every intention to swiftly end this fight.


    Qie Anzhie blocked Qie Ranzhe''s attack and took advantage of the blowback to move backwards creating some distance between. Impressed by his own ability to fend off Qie Ranzhe''s attacks, Qie Anzhie couldn''t help but brag. "Brother, do you know the name of this sword? It''s not a legendary sword for nothing. Knowing what it is how do you expect to beat me, huh?" he said showing off the impatient bloodthirsty sword.


    "Sloppy seconds," said Qie Ranzhe as he leapt in the airunching another attack. Qie Anzhie instinctively moved out of the way with incredible speed but it wasn''t fast enough as Qie Ranzhe shed at his arm leaving behind an unsightly gushing wound.


    Qie Anzhie staggered a few steps backwards with a grimace on his face chortling in anger with reddened eyes. He tightly gripped the hilt of the sword as an unknown force grabbed hold of him. In an instant, Qie Anzhie was like an entirely different person striking in powerful light stepsparable to Old Chen the Grandmaster of Ye Lang guild.


    Instead of feeling distressed by his brother''s amped-up skills, Qie Ranzhe was thrilled with a rush of adrenaline coursing through his veins, itching to take down an evenly matched opponent. Qie Anzhie''s so-called skills could have onlye from the peculiar sword that belonged to the crazy bloodthirsty General Zhao.


    The two eventually parted after an eternity of fighting an intense battle with neither of them willing to yield. Of the two of them, Qie Anzhie seemed to be in a much worse state than his brother. Though he had the sword as his cheat code, his body wasn''t equipped for such an intense fight. Unfortunately for him, his endurance was light years behind Qie Ranzhe.


    Prince Anzhie was hunching down huffing and puffing struggling to catch his breath but Qie Ranzhe was standing tall like a ramrod mocking him. "It isn''t the sword that''s has an issue but the person wielding the sword that''s the problem," he said looking down at him, "Are you done ying? I have better things to do with my time."


    It takes a smart man to know when to give up but Prince Anzhie wasn''t a smart man in the slightest. He stood tall and strolled over to his brother with the pin hidden between two of his fingers trying to instigate him. He wasn''t worried about pricking himself with it as he had already taken the antidote in advance. "Hahaha, actually l am not done," he said with a sarcasticugh, "Do you want to know what l did to your little Jin-ge?"


    Hearing Lin Jingxie''s nameing out his vile mouth, an uncontroble devastating force suddenly sprung up within him feeding the once suppressed evil root which began to run rampant taking over his entire body. "What the fuck did you do?" he said in a hoarse voice as a horrendous menacing aura surrounded Qie Anzhie numbing his entire body but he didn''t stop. This should have served as a warning but Qie Anzhie wanted his brother in such a state so he could take advantage of his insanity. What he failed to realise was how berserk Qie Ranzhe would get when he was angered to the point of losing his mind.


    "I fucked him hard till he passed out. You should have seen how magnificent he looked under me. I am sure brother wouldn''t mind having my sloppy seconds," he confidently lied through his teeth. He had found out how intimate Lin Jingxie and Qie Ranzhe''s rtionship was from Zhao Huangzhi and decided to exploit it. Qie Ranzhe tightly sped the hilt of his sword till his knuckles turned white with blood seeping from his palm where his nails had dug deep into his skin. Every warning trigger in Qie Anzhie''s body was shing red but the desire to kill Qie Ranzhe was just too overwhelming. This was his chance to be rid of this bastard and wasn''t willing to let it go.


    With every hair in his body raised and goosebumps protruding through his skin, Qie Anzhie took advantage and swung his sword. As expected his puny attack was blocked by Qie Ranzhe. This opened up an opportunity for Qie Anzhie to pierce his skin. As he celebrated an early victory his wrist was suddenly gripped to the point of breaking as Qie Ranzhe red at him with his sinister bloodshot eyes. Qie Anzhie didn''t even have time to react when he was ruthlessly kicked three meters away dropping the legendary sword along the way.


    Like a crazed predator, Qie Ranzhe dropped the sword gifted to him by Lin Jingxie and picked up Hei An Zhi. With the sword in hand, Qie Ranzhe was fully engulfed in his anger pacing towards a grim Qie Anzhie who was curling up on the ground coughing out blood. One look at Qie Ranzhe''s murder filled gaze one could tell what kind of fate awaited Qie Anzhie.


    Qie Ranzhe towered above a petrified Qie Anzhie ignoring his plea for mercy and raised Hei An Zhi to deliver the final blow. This moment would be the one to would decide his Qie Ranzhe''s fate. Whether he would pass or fail this world was depended on this moment. Without any hesitation, Qie Ranzhe lowered his sword with every intention of decapitating Qie Anzhie as Hei An Zhi imprinted itself on him epting him as its master.

 Chapter 96: First World: Wen Qinxis First Headbutt

    Chapter 96: First World: Wen Qinxi''s First Headbutt


    A determined Wen Qinxi stood strong ready to defend himself against the overzealous Zhao Huangzhi. He absolutely had no intention to have his face BBQ for Qie Ranzhe. With such perfect features and wless skin, how could he let that entitled brat turn it to chargrill?


    ''Boss do you even know what headbutt someone entails of?'' asked the system fully aware of Wen Qinxi''s history. This guy had never got into a serious fight with anyone except with Wen Danzhe who was extremely lenient with him to save his older brother some face.


    ''How hard can it be? Its simple physics, thew of inertia,'' replied Wen Qinxi trying to get his stance right.


    ''Nerd,'' said the system in a low inaudible voice and as expected Wen Qinxi couldn''t hear it clearly asking,


    ''Sorry I didn''t catch that, do you mind saying it agai-,'' but he stopped mid-sentence when Zhao Huangzhi strode in with the glowing fire poker in hand. Why did he have to encounter such an extreme personality, in-game or otherwise? He promised himself that after saving Qie Ranzhe, he was going to stay as far away as possible from Zhao Huangzhi in the real world.


    "Okay, let''s get this over and done with," she said pacing towards him while admiring the scorching hot fire poker, "Which side do you prefer? Left or right cheek?"


    "Why ask me? It''s not like l am getting a fuckin tattoo," replied Wen Qinxi nervously clenching his fist with his entire body turned rigged.


    Zhao Huangzhi let out a soft chuckle as she drew closer with a mischievous expression. "Whatever, l will do both," she said shrugging her shoulder as cool as a cucumber as though doing a regr task.


    Wen Qinxi scrutinized her every action as that bloodcurdling weapon hovered above his cheek but he neither flinched nor pled for mercy silently waiting for her to get in range for a good headbutting. Just when she was about to ce the sizzling hot fire poker on his left cheek, Wen Qinxi suddenly called her name, "Huan-jie," in a none threatening tone.


    "Hum?....AAAAAAHHHHH you bastard!" she screamed in pain when Wen Qinxi delivered a perfectly executed headbutt though she wasn''t the only grimacing in pain.


    "Ai! That fuckin hurts, Ah shit!" said Wen Qinxi with an ugly expression but because his hands were still tied behind his back, he couldn''t even rub his forehead to ease the pain. Zhao Huangzhi was on the floor as involuntary tears streamed down her face while rubbing her slightly swollen throbbing forehead.


    ''This is why l specifically asked you if you knew how a headbutt works. You could have waited for Machu toe to your rescue instead of subjecting yours-,'' said the system but it was immediately cut off by a livid Wen Qinxi.


    ''So you knew he wasing to save me but chose not to say anything?'' asked Wen Qinxi wishing he could choke the system to death.


    ''Well, you got to admit this was more interesting to watch,'' said the system snickering within. It didn''t wish to further aggravate Wen Qinxi and reserved itsughter forter.


    ''Jolie you...f%@$&#*#&*_%%%@@&@ and your mother is a $@%*%##@@, your sister too is a @%@###%&&#$#@&%, your entire family is a #@$%#@#$@!,'' cursed Wen Qinxi with the system censoring him immediately otherwise he would lose his favourability with the imaginary readers.


    While Wen Qinxi was cursing out the system to high heaven, Machu finally made his appearance just after Eighth took down Qie Anzhie''s men which for a man like Eighth was easy as kindergarten. The two burst into the room like a superhero and his sidekick ready to give the viin a good ass whooping but who knew the damsel in distress had already subdued the viin.


    Feeling restless, Eighth immediately tied her up while Machu ran over to untie Lin Jingxie with a panicked face. "Saozi are you okay?" he said inspecting every inch of him like precious porcin but of course Wen Qinxi didn''t focus on anything except the word saozi.


    "Why are you still calling her that? She doesn''t deserve to be your saozi," he said rubbing his sore wrist. Let''s not me for being dense, it never urred to him that someone would call him sister-inw especially because he''s a boy.


    Machu paused his actions and gazed at Wen Qinxi searchingly with pure fascination while thinking, ''How can someone be this fuckin dense?''


    "Mn," replied Machu scratching his head in confusion.


    Wen Qinxi hurriedly walked out of the room recalling how unpredictable Qie Ranzhe was. If he didn''t supervise him especially at this critical juncture things might go south counteracting all his hard work. As expected Wen Qinxi found Qie Ranzhe engaged in a fierce fight with Qie Anzhie. He observed their fight from the sidelines in awe of the fearsome Qie Ranzhe who couldn''t fail to impress even in a game. While busy being a fangirl he beckoned the system, ''In the next world l want to be as cool as him,'' with eyes that shone so bright like he had met his idol in person.


    ''That is if you pass this world. Qie Ranzhe plus that sword, Hei An Zhi equals a recipe for disaster. That''s how the genocidal manic was born,'' said the system revealing such an important detail it should have divulged ages ago. To think he had constantly urged Qie Ranzhe to take that sword only to find out that''s the reason why his boss had been stuck in an endless loop. Qie Ranzhe minus Hei An Zhi equals him not going crazy.


    ''Seriously! You fuckin chose to tell me now? Why didn''t you say it from the beginning?'' asked Wen Qinxi darting in Qie Ranzhe''s direction who had already picked up the sword ready to strike down Qie Anzhie with it.


    ''I didn''t know too, l just finished my detailed analysis of the previous plotlines and figure it all had to do with the cursed sword,'' said the system before performing its infamous disappearing act just in case Wen Qinxi vented his rage again.


    ''Fuck! Joliee out!'' he called out to the system but a screen, he alone could see, popped up on his side written in bold letters ''OFFLINE''.


    Wen Qinxi, ''....''

 Chapter 97: First World: Future Henpecking

    Chapter 97: First World: Future Henpecking


    Ditched by the system Wen Qinxi finally reached the two brothers who had managed to destroy everything around them. Wen Qinxi wanted to separate them but changed his mind as it was too risky. Qie Ranzhe was already lowering Hei An Zhi aiming for his half brother''s vulnerable neck. He realised that even calling out to him was pointless deciding to tackle him instead. Wen Qinxi quickly moved back a few meters before taking off at maximum speed. Using his body speed he sessfully tackled Qie Ranzhe and the both of them tumbled to the ground with a loud thud as the vile sword fell a short distance from them.


    Qie Ranzhe was jolted back to reality ready to beat the crap out of whoever had the guts to attack him. But before he couldunch a counterattack, his hazy eyes finally cleared up only to find Lin Jingxie lying on top of him saying, "Hie," while waving his hand. He wanted to wrap his arms around Lin Jingxie''s waist but he didn''t even give him a chance to respond as he got off him with great difficulty and childishly stomped on the sword cursing, "You fuckin piece of shit! Don''t fuckin dare touch this sword again," with thest part directed at Qie Ranzhe.


    Qie Ranzhe sat up straight and watched Lin Jingxie in a daze fighting off the urge tough and it didn''t take much for hisughter topletely dissipate especially when he remembered Qie Anzhie''s words. He immediately stood up, grasped Lin Jingxie''s wrist and turned his body to face him. "Did he force himself on you?" asked Qie Ranzhe with a grave expression.


    Wen Qinxi looked at him in confusion, "Who forced what on who?"


    Qie Ranzhe pointed at Qie Anzhie who was curled up on the groundmenting his poor life choices. "Did he sleep with you?" he asked rephrasing the question in a way that Lin Jingxie could easily understand.


    "Pfft...HAHAHAHAHA I am sorry. That''s so fuckin funny HAHAHAHA," said Wen Qinxiughing himself to tears, "Who the fuck said that?"


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t say anything pointing at the culprit causing Wen Qinxi''sughter to abruptly die down reced with rage. Like a fierce cub, he pounced on Qie Anzhie intending to vent out his frustrations while yelling, "You fuckin piece of shit!" He only managed to kick him once when he was suddenly lifted at his waist by Qie Ranzhe with his legs helplessly dangling mid-air.


    Wen Qinxi felt a strong arm wrap around his waist like a boa constrictor if bower constrictors were warm. He felt a pleasant yet nerve-wracking sensation causing his entire body to heat up. Brushing it off as an illusion, he demanded that Qie Ranzhe put him down this instant. "Have you calmed down yet?" he asked with his face dangerously close to Lin Jingxie''s neck. Wen Qinxi took in a deep breath and exhaled heavily as though letting go of all his anger.


    "Yes, l am absolutely calm. You can let go now," he said with his entire face flushed red. Convinced, Qie Ranzhe reluctantly let him go but who knew as soon as he hit the ground, Lin Jingxie would kick Qie Anzhie onest time before walking to were Machu stood guarding Zhao Huangzhi.


    Qie Ranzhe suppressed a smile as the guild members restrained Qie Anzhie. Only then did he realize Lin Jingxie was prancing around half-naked. With that realization in mind, he chased after him and gently pushed Machu out of the way before blocking everyone''s view of the shirtless Lin Jingxie.


    "What the fuck!" eximed Wen Qinxi when Qie Ranzhe appeared out of thin air straightening his clothes while thinking, ''For my eyes only.''


    "It''s cold you will fall sick," he said before taking a glimpse of the cuts made by Zhao Huangzhi, "does it hurt?" As he asked this, he stretched his slender figure to touch but his hand was smacked away before it even got closer. He pursed his lips in anger and turned to re at the culprit vowing to execute revenge tenfold.


    "It''s fine," replied Wen Qinxi pondering on why both Lin Mingxu and Qie Ranzhe were so conservative. There is nothing wrong with boys walking around shirtless as they didn''t have anything special to cover up anyway. His mindset would probably not be the same if he still had that tiny pouch.


    Everyone was forced to watch Qie Ranzhe dote on Lin Jingxie like a loving boyfriend with his stray hands groping his upper body in the name of fixing Lin Jingxie''s clothes. Machu and Zhao Huangzhi were the only ones ustomed to such a scene but the rest especially the guild members were agape having never seen this version of Qie Ranzhe.


    "Ran-ge that''s enough are you trying to strangle me?"ined Wen Qinxi when his cor was fastened covering his entire corbone


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t stop saying, "Be good. I will dress your wounds when we get to my ceter."


    "Ahem!" said the emperor who had been standing behind them for a while now. The guild members and Machu were already saluting the emperor but didn''t dare disturb Prince Ranzhe''s lovey-dovey moment.


    The two awkwardly acknowledged his presence with Qie Ranzhe eager to run off with Lin Jingxie at a moment''s notice. "Father, l am going to take care of Lin Jingxie," he said hurriedly grabbing Lin Jingxie''s elbow nning their escape like a kid running away from homework.


    "No, Lin Jingxie can go with Machu, you need to stay here and deal with this mess," he said but Qie Ranzhe red at him desperately trying to strong-arm his father, "Even if you look at me like that, you aren''t going anywhere." The emperor suddenly had a headache realising that there was a high chance his son would be henpecked in the future.


    "You stay and take care of things, I will go ahead and wait for you. Is that okay?" asked Wen Qinxi carefully removing Lin Jingxie''s hand that was making him feel a tingly sensation. Qie Ranzhe somehow turned obedient agreeing to Lin Jingxie''s suggestion with no opposition.


    "As long as you promise to wait for me," he said with bright expectant eyes. Well, if Lin Jingxie ran off he could still capture him and lock him up in his pce. This was his thought process inching towards his docile dark side.


    "I promise," said Lin Jingxie before walking away. Qie Ranzhe watched him leave as though engraving this image in his heart and only stopped when his figure finally disappeared.

    Chapter 98: First World: Confession Gone Wrong


    For someone who had just gone through a wave of emotions, Wen Qinxi was rtively calm. He washed up to alleviate his sore muscles and carefully dressed his wounds before wearing snow-white robes preparing to sleep. He had had such a long nerve-wracking day yearning for a goodnight sleep but Wen Qinxi couldn''t put himself to sleep as he had promised to wait for Qie Ranzhe. Just as he sat down to watch a series rmended by Jolie to ward off sleep, a hyped-up Machu turned up cing two porcin jugs on the table right in front of him.


    Wen Qinxi curiously nced over to Machu then the two jugs before inquiring, "What is it? Is this for me?" He proceeded to open the lid and take a whiff of what was inside while Machu exined. A fruity yet rose-like aroma swamped his senses spawning him to unconsciously gulp, he was intrigued and wanted to try it.


    "The emperor sent these especially for you. It''s from his special wine collection known as Dancing Rose. He said it will help you calm your nerves especially after what you have been through," said a hyperactive Machu, "Oh and Ran-ge just came back. His just washing off the bloo-.....ah....l mean the sweat from all that fighting, haha. Ahem.....he asked me to tell you to wait for him just a little longer."


    Wen Qinxi closely scrutinised the frenzied Machu wondering why he was acting so jumpy. "Why are you nervous? Is there something you aren''t telling me?" he asked further examining Machu''s subtle changes in expression but Machu didn''t even bother concealing his emotions.


    Not sure how to ask, Machu stayed silent for a while thinking of the right words but the unexpected dy caused Wen Qinxi''s attention to shift elsewhere. After what seemed like an eternity Machu finally stuttering the question. "You...wh-what do you think of Ran-ge? Do yo-you like him?" he hesitantly asked but Wen Qinxi had already lost interest pouring out some of this exclusive wine gifted to him.


    "His cool and l like him. Here do you want some?" he casually answered before offering a cup to Machu


    Machu almost face-palmed himself for even trying to speak to Lin Jingxie especially in front of wine. ''No thanks. I am okay....um...about wha-," he said trying to further borate his question but Qie Ranzhe chose to make his appearance instantly filling the room with a delightful fruity musk-like scent that Wen Qinxi couldn''t resist breathing in instantly numbing his scalp. As a modern creature, he especially appreciated it when someone smelt good, all part of human nature. His eyes brightened beckoning Qie Ranzhe to sit down whileplimenting him. Witnessing Qie Ranzhe''s red ears, Machu swiftly said his goodbyes and ran off leaving behind a cloud of dust.


    Wen Qinxi watched in astonishment at the speed at which Machu dashed off while shaking his head with a smile. "Here you have some," he said passing the cup over to Qie Ranzhe who was sitting across him on the other side of the table, "The way he ran you would think he was being chased by ghosts." As soon as he finished mocking Machu, Wen Qinxi sampled the so-called wine with great expectations. A mellow fruity taste soon tickled his senses as he experienced a new kind of glee he didn''t know existed before.


    Qie Ranzhe kept on staring at him in silence asionally biting his lower as though nervous about something. Lin Jingxie looked especially tempting tonight with a divine appearance that made him crave a taste. His lush supple skin, silky ck hair brushing against his exposed well-defined corbone and full lips moistened by wine all spelt seduction.


    He suppressed the urge to reach out by distracting himself with the wine Lin Jingxie ced in front of him. "My father gave you this?" he asked with a lowered head attempting to conceal his lust.


    Wen Qinxi smiled and drank his third cup with no signs of slowing down. This world had finally been conquered which was worth celebrating. Qie Ranzhe was on a fast-track to being officially crowned as crown prince sessfully capturing part of his consciousness. "Mn, it''s quite nice," he said as he watched Qie Ranzhe drink his first cup.


    This sight made him further question if Qie Ranzhe was human or from some made up of only wless beings. How could he manage to make just a simple act of drinking wine so sexy like in the champagne adverts on TV? Something about his graceful movements, maybe the angle he tilted his head, his bobbing Adam''s apple when he drank or his moist lips had Wen Qinxi feeling tingly all over his body.


    ''Shit!'' he cursed himself out while pouring some more wine for both of them. "What did you do to Zhao Huangzhi and your brother?" he asked locking away such peculiar thoughts.


    "Burnt the face of the former and imprisoned thetter," he said in a dismissive tone unwilling to discuss this matter any further.


    Wen Qinxi could take a hint and didn''t speak for a while till he was sure he had enough alcohol in his system to continue. "You know...haha.....she wanted to burn my face just because she thinks l like you as in a romantic way and she''s not the only one who thinks the ve-," paused Wen Qinxi when he took a glimpse of Qie Ranzhe who was blushing to the roots of his hair. Wen Qinxi was just about to poke fun at Qie Ranzhe for blushing like a little schoolgirl but felt his entire body was hotter than usual, he wouldn''t be surprised if his face was flushed too. This wine was what one would best fit the idiom ''big thingse in small packages'' as it was too potent. It was evident that both of them were undoubtfully tipsy giving them enough courage to say things they normally wouldn''t.


    "Am sorry l failed to protect you. She tried to burn your face because.....l like you," he said but seeing how calm Lin Jingxie was he exined further, "romantically like you."


    A minefield exploded in Wen Qinxi''s mind, his body frozen stiff with the words echoing in his ear. Romantically like? "What the fuck!" he uttered with a helpless look inching towards a massive freak out the ''end of the world'' kind of freak out. ''Jolie, is he bullshitting me? When did it start? Did l sense it but was in denial? Fuck, Jolie you better be online right now or l will end it all,'' he let out a string of questions but his face remained nk.

 Chapter 99: First World: Confession Gone Wrong (Cont.) (NFSW)

    Chapter 99: First World: Confession Gone Wrong (Cont.) (NFSW)


    The atmosphere became tense with his body temperature confusingly bing extremely feverish to the point that he could barely breathe. To make matters worse Qie Ranzhe was like a dam flood gate opened after heavy rain expressing all his repressed feelings.


    "I know l shouldn''t have but l did fall in love with you. When or how it happened? l don''t know but when it happened l couldn''t stop myself. Here," he said taking out an envelope with an imperial seal, "this.....this is the only way l can protect you....This way, you can never leave me."


    Wen Qinxi tugging his garments forward in a fanning action to cool himself down and maintain a clear mind while opening the envelope. The contents had his hands trembling in a mess. "You," he said pointing at a nervous Qie Ranzhe, "Me," now pointing at himself, "get married?"


    "Holy shit! Fuck, fuck, fuck, is it hot in here or is it''s just me?" he said now using the imperial interdict to fan himself.


    Qie Ranzhe thought Lin Jingxie was flushed in anger but seeing him sweat so much it had to be something else. With his brows creased he reached out to touch Lin Jingxie''s forehead but Lin Jingxie suddenly smacked his hand away saying, "Don''t."


    He also felt his body gradually heat up and could only suspect the wine his father gifted Lin Jingxie. ''I am going to sort out that old man for this,'' thought Qie Ranzhe looking around the room for some water.


    ''Jolie, what the fuck is wrong with me?'' he asked while Qie Ranzhe handed him a cup of water which did nothing to alleviate his thirst.


    ''Boss I don''t want to freak you out but.....um....here is the thing. Emperor Qie added a drug simr to ecstasy in that wine, it''s mostly an aphrodisiac. No need to panic because I have a solution,'' said the system making Wen Qinxi rx a little that is until he heard the solution, ''You just have to do the deed and both of you can walk out unscathed."


    ''Fuck no!'' he replied to the system while Qie Ranzhe took the cup from him to pour more water but their fingertips identally touched in the process resulting in an electric spark jolting Wen Qinxi Jr awake. Thispanionable feeling made him wish he could retract his words. After that embarrassing incident, his shameful feeling stemmed from his curiosity that is to say he felt ashamed because he was even more curious about what having sex with Qie Ranzhe would feel like. The intense climax from that day was engraved deep in his memory, coupled with the drug and alcohol in his system his craving for that same feeling resurfaced tempting him to do the unthinkable considering the fact that he didn''t even know how two guys serviced each other.


    In a panic, Qie Ranzhe stood up searching for something but when he couldn''t find it he said, "Jin-ge stay here and l will go call the physician," heading for the door. He had been looking for something to pacify Lin Jingxie but couldn''t find anything useful. Though entranced by Lin Jingxie''s seductive appearance it didn''t feel right pushing his bottom line in this state. He also felt ufortable but was in a better state than Lin Jingxie and could easily get the physician that after locking Lin Jingxie in the room lest someone takes advantage of him.


    Seeing him leave, Wen Qinxi suddenly mmed the table while talking to the system, ''Jolie go offline!'' before walking over to a startled Qie Ranzhe who was staring back at him with his amorous dark eyes.


    With Lin Jingxie standing right before him, Qie Ranzhe''s heartbeat quickened while gazing into his predator-like almond-shaped eyes. The unparalleled sexual tension was immensely suffocating as the atmosphere grew a few degrees higher. Qie Ranzhe bit his lower lip gathering up hisst ounce of courage before asking, "Do l have permission?" in a maic hoarse voice that could drive anyone crazy.


    ''Fuck it,'' thought Wen Qinxi letting go of whatever little hesitation he had and stood on his tiptoes to nt a soft peck in response.


    Unfortunately for him, he had seriously underestimated how much desire Qie Ranzhe had been suppressing. He instinctively grabbed Lin Jingxie''s waist and pulled him closer deepening what started off as a soft kiss. Their entangled bodies grew hotter and hotter with Qie Ranzhe lightly grinding against Wen Qinxi''s stomach with his arousal. Wen Qinxi''s lips felt hot being aggressively invaded by Qie Ranzhe''s hot slithering tongue. It was sensual at first but once Qie Ranzhe bit him, Wen Qinxi couldn''t hold back anymore.


    This inexperienced boss of his was just too feisty this had to end. Wen Qinxi pulled away from him hissing in pain while touching his sore lip with his fear of pain intensified. Qie Ranzhe gazed down at him apologizing but he couldn''t see anything as Lin Jingxie had lowered his head. Feeling remorseful, he embraced him with his head buried in Lin Jingxie''s neck muttering, "Am sorry," while caressing Lin Jingxie''s back rousing a wave of addictive pleasure in Wen Qinxi''s body.


    "Promise you won''t bite me again and that you''ll follow my lead then l will let you continue," he said whispering in Qie Ranzhe''s ear while suppressing a blissful groan from escaping his throat. Qie Ranzhe nodded his head in agreement with his hair brushing against Wen Qinxi''s ear instigating an involuntarily twitching response from Wen Qinxi''s lower half.


    Wen Qinxi draped his arms around Qie Ranzhe''s neck and kissed him this time taking the lead with his tongue licking Qie Ranzhe''s lips before prying his mouth open. His skilful tongue thoroughly teased Qie Ranzhe till he could barely restrain himself caressing every inch of Lin Jingxie. By the time they reached the bed Wen Qinxi''s entire body had gone soft with waves of endless orgasmic pleasure engulfing him.


    Qie Ranzhe unfastened Lin Jingxie''s belt while kissing Lin Jingxie''s neck in a gentle yet possessive manner. His actions incited a muffled gasp to escape from Wen Qinxi''s throat urging Qie Ranzhe to continue. A motivated Qie Ranzhe pried open Wen Qinxi''s garments exposing the now pink sensual chest heaving softly beneath him. Part of it was wrapped around with the bandage reminding him not to take things too far. He took off his garments while thoroughly stimting Lin Jingxie who was twitching and trembling beneath him.


    Qie Ranzhe finally undressed towering above Lin Jingxie as he carried on teasing him but the man underneath stopped him beckoning Qie Ranzhe to let him see. Wen Qinxi wanted to touch him so bad that he couldn''t resist pulling him closer. Qie Ranzhe watched Lin Jingxie touch him to his heart content and couldn''t help biting lower lip thinking this man looked incredibly sexy.


    He lowered his head and said, "l will let you off easy tonight but l will make you feel good." This statement caused Lin Jingxie to shudder a little but he quickly recovered and proceeded to slowly caress Qie Ranzhe firm back. In taciturn understanding, Qie Ranzhe peeled the rest of their clothes off their bodies revealing two hot pirs equally releasing a thin fluid eager for some servicing.


    Qie Ranzhe nted his lips on Lin Jingxie''s lips and the two kissed passionately while Qie Ranzhe''s firm hands slowly caressed Lin Jingxie''s hot body before grabbing hold of both of their members and engaged in a pleasurable frotting experience that Wen Qinxi never knew existed.


    His eyes widened in surprise at first but he couldn''t speak with his lips sealed in a transcended kiss His mind soon fogged up with his body naturally responding to Qie Ranzhe''s provocative actions. His breathing gradually shallowed even more so when uncontroble streams of pleasure overwhelmed him followed by a wave of shock travelling from his spine to his lower half releasing the desire that mounted up within. Soon after Qie Ranzhe''s movements slowed down freeing Lin Jingxie''s lips as he climaxed with a muffled groan. He immediately wiped away the mess with whatever he could get his hands on before copsing on top of Lin Jingxie with heavy breaths.


    Wen Qinxi was speechless, the climax was more intense than before leaving him yearning for more. But even if he had the courage to do it again, he couldn''t as the exhaustion from this eventful day swept over him. As his eyes dimed he heard Qie Ranzhe whisper, "I named my sword JiRan because l love you," but the rest was a blur as he sumbed to his weariness.

 Chapter 100: Second World

    Chapter 100: Second World


    Wen Qinxi was woken up by a blinking notification shing in front of him. He scrunched his eyes muddle headed with no awareness of where he was. After some great difficulty his heavy eyes managed to open half lidded but his surroundings were engulfed in total darkness with the shing notification as the only source of light. Without giving it much thought he tapped on the screen only to be jolted fully awake by the celebratory music and digital fireworks with the words ''Congrattions for passing the First World'' floating around the screen.


    Wen Qinxi had been looking forward to this day for a long time daydreaming about it like a fool but right now he wasn''t in a celebratory mood at all. His entire body felt weak and his muscles ached so much that he wanted to go back to sleep. To top it all off his head felt like it was being drilled by a sledgehammer. He couldn''t recall much ofst night''s events which was a nuisance because his brain kept on telling him that he had forgotten something important. While probing his memory he finally remembered that annoying system so he called out to the troublesome Jolie.


    "Jolie are you online?" he asked covering his eyes to block the light as they were sensitive to the bright celebratory screen.


    "Oh, l was waiting for you to call me since you instructed me to go offline. By the way boss congrattions. Should l initiate themunication channel so Hei Bao and Xia Bai can congratte you too?" inquired the system in a suspiciously friendly manner that gave Wen Qinxi a bad premonition but he was tozy to deal with it.


    "Sure, pass code qieranzheisajerk....fuck!" with thest part said as he abruptly sat up straight with wide eyes. The memories ofst night''s drunken exploits suddenly rushed in with his face changing color faster than a chameleon. From pale to flushed then flushed to ashen with his heart palpitating like he was about to have a heart attack.


    "Shit, shit, shit.....l fuckin slept with Qie Ranzhe," he said burying his head in his arms in shame. His brazen actions were influenced by alcohol topped of with the effects of the drug enhancing his courage to indulge in his carnal desires but now that he was level headed he couldn''t help but feel regretful.


    He didn''t know whether to wish Qie Ranzhe would or wouldn''t remember all this when he wakes up. If he remembers then who knows what kind of reaction he would have. On the other hand if Qie Ranzhe didn''t remember then wouldn''t he be the only one affected by all this? He especially hated going through such a fucked up emotional rollercoaster like watching a Korean drama,ugh one minute cry the next. Like this, Wen Qinxi was too engrossed in his own thoughts that he didn''t notice the tense atmosphere.


    "Who the fuck slept with who?" asked Xia Bai thinking he had heard wrong. Surely it was time to get his ears professionally cleaned again because he was hearing things.


    Hei Bao didn''t utter a word nervously biting his nails at the thought of losing a year''s worth of lunch money.


    "Pay up suckers l won the fuckin bet. Not only did Qie Ranzhe get bent by Wen Qinxi they also had coitus," said the boastful system already seeing its dreampanion.


    "Bai-ge, what''s coitus?" whispered Hei Bao at the brink of tears. He might not know what it meant but he could already tell it wasn''t anything good. His lunch money was gone and he could only cry about it.


    Xia Bai leaned in and replied, "Adult stuff," with his gaze fixed on Hei Bao''s watery eyes. Hei Bao''s aggressived sight made his chest tighten urging him to reach out and wipe his tearforting him, "Don''t worry, ge will take of you. Didn''t you like the macaroons l made for you?'' while creating an ambiguous atmosphere.


    Hei Bao nodded saying, "Oh...wait huh?" with thest part said with an agape face instantly dispelling the ambiguous atmosphere enterly focused on the word ''coitus'' again.


    "That''s right so pay up. A bet is a bet," said the system but the two voiced their greviences on how unfair the bet was and that the system deliberately left out some important information when it initiated the bet.


    Their conversation was a jumbled up mess in Wen Qinxi''''s head with his brain processing things slower but he soon caught up when his brain cells caught the words Qie Ranzhe, bent, coitus and bet.


    "Shit! Were you three in on this together? Did you all know Qie Ranzhe liked me but didn''t say anything?" he said wishing he could hit something to cate his anger.


    The two men hurriedly denied having any knowledge of this directly pointing their fingers at the system. Jolie saw things were about to head south so it decided to sneakily go offline but who knew it would get caught in the next second.


    "Xia Bai trap that system," said Wen Qinxi rolling up his sleeves as though preparing for a fight.


    "With pleasure," replied Xia Bai with a roguish expression thrilled to exert revenge on the cunning system that made Bao Bao sad.


    In a few key strokes, the system was dragged back online losing its privilege toe and go whenever it pleased. "Boss....you don''t have to do this...l don''t know anything. I am innocent plus you kissed him first," rambled the system in protest but it only made matters worse.


    Wen Qinxi''s ears shed red recalling how he walked up to Qie Ranzhe and nted a kiss standing on his tippy toes. "You don''t have to fuckin remind me my brain is doing a fine job at it," he said trying to suppress the memory. He didn''t want the system reminding him of matters he desperately wanted to forget and hopefully free himself from an unforgettable embarrassment.


    "No, l don''t mean that. I am talking about before. You kissed him before," said the struggling system .


    "Aiyo...Qi-ge l didn''t know you had such a croqutteish side," teased Hei Bao. He couldn''t help but thank the universe for executing revenge on his behalf. Everyone in the office had been teasingly pairing him and Xia Bai as a couple after the whole ink incident courtesy of Wen Qinxi''s prank. Even though he mourned the loss of his lunch money he couldn''t resist seizing the opportunity.


    "Thats nder, l did no such thing," Wen Qinxi denied it while sifting through his memory. He really didn''t do such a thing to Qie Ranzhe.


    "Ah, you don''t remember the beautiful mermaid you smooched after nearly drowning? The mermaid was your weird delusion but the kiss was real. Haha, boss you kissed Qie Ranzhe," said the system having such a st at Wen Qinxi''s expense.Wen Qinxi''s horrified expression was simply priceless.

 Chapter 101: Second World: Xie Xie Party Freak Omega

    Chapter 101: Second World: Xie Xie Party Freak Omega


    Of course, Wen Qinxi vividly recalled that incident. At the time, he had brushed it off as a delusion due to oxygen deprivation who knew the kiss had actually happened. Yes, who else could have known that other than Jolie but the system kept it a secret and let him make a fool of himself while actively convincing him that it was nothing. For that it had to be punished.


    "Hei Bao, do you remember how you wanted to give Jolie an appearance and l said no?" he asked causing the system to cringe in fright.


    "Yes, l remember. Do l have your consent now?" asked an excited Hei Bao taking a seat in his swivel chair with his fingers itching to type.


    "Do it," said Wen Qinxi with an ominous grin.


    "Boss you can''t do this. I concealed everything for the good of the mission. If you found out earlier that Qie Ranzhe liked you ording to your personality wouldn''t things have ended badly?" it said defending its action but it was to no avail as Hei Bao programmed the system to look like a tiny girl wearing a pink dress with purple hair tied up into two cute pig tails.


    "AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH! Bao Bao you bastard. Why did you turn me into a little girl?" screamed the system. Though it was angry the cute appearance was just too counteractive that they couldn''t resist bursting into unrestrainedughter.


    "Okay, guys let''s stopughing and....wait," said Wen Qinxi leaning down to the little system asking, "Cute xiao meimei would you like a lollipop?" As soon as he said that Hei Bao typed in a string ofmands before a spiral rainbow lollipop showed up in the system''s tiny hand. This was just too much as theyughed themselves to tears watching a tiny thing angrily stomping the lollipop on the ground.


    "I identify myself as male, thank you very much," said Jolie with teary eyes.


    "Okay that''s enough.....stop whining l will change you to a boyter just tell me about the next world," replied Wen Qinxi curious to know what was next on the agenda.


    "Its an interster world an-," it said but was soon cut off by an ecstatic Wen Qinxi.


    "Finally l get to drive a mech, that''s so fuckin awesome. You better give me an powerful alpha character so l can have some fun shooting things," he said as his gaming side revealed itself. He could already see himself in the cockpit flying to his heart''s content.


    "Don''t forget, l have no influence on what character you get but here is the plotline," it said as a screen full of words popped up in front of him.


    In this interster world, Qie Ranzhe was actually a powerful Marshall with totalmand of the Unitedary Space Force fleetUPSF for short in a deste universe known as XT5441 with six habitateds being part of the Valim Republic. He was unraveled in the entire universe because of his unparalleled strength and effective war strategies. Not only that, he also had the loyalty and respect of the six generals further solidifying his position.This type of undying loyalty stemmed from the fact that they had fought alongside him through three invasions by the Zerg emperor.


    This kind of power left the emperor Zhao of the Valim empire ill at ease. If Qie Ranzhe decided to revolt against him and take the throne for himself it would be rtively easy as he controlled such a vast formidable army.


    Emperor Zhao set up a trap for Qie Ranzhe and have him killed but the Marshal changed nsst minute resulting in the death of his parents. The second attempt proved sessful as he tampered with the Marshall''s mech causing it to lose control and crush into the Zerg territory. No one knew how the Marshal managed to survive a full week under the torment of the enemy before the rescue team saved him.


    Though he survived the once powerful Marshal was paralyzed from the neck down. To gain full trust of the six general and grab hold of the powerful army, emperor Zhao had his omega son from thete Empress marry the Marshal instead of Princess Huangzhi who had a close rtionship with the Marshal before the ident. The emperor wasn''t willing to give the Marshal his well-behaved beautiful daughter as she was worth marrying into a prestigious family that could further establish his power and maintain his position on the throne.


    Thus the Marshal was stuck with a male omega he didn''t even like. Soon after marriage the omega died in a tragic ident. Soon the Marshal followed suit dying from acute poisoning but his murder was never solved.


    Again such a depressing situation over and over gain but Wen Qinxi wasn''t focused on any of that. He thrilled to be driving a mech.


    "Send me through, daddy is ready to y with some big boy toys," seeming to have forgotten all his troubles eager to blow up some shit.


    A weing screen popped up urging him to press y and start the game and so he pressed y with no hesitation but as he was teleported into the game, the system called out, "You are the omega he doesn''t like!"


    Hearing this Wen Qinxi''s heart stopped but before he could throw a fit his was drawn into an omega''s body lying unconscious in a boisterous night club. The nauseating smell of booze mixed with buff and fruity vape smoke evoked his gag reflex as he struggled to sit up straight. His mouth and body rinked of alcohol but thankfully his headache was caused by the loud music rather than a hang over. "Xie Xie you are finally awake. How are you feeling?" asked a pink haired omega with sparkly rings on four of his five fingers. From the game file, his name was Zianji Hua but everyone called him Xiao Hua.


    Wen Qinxi was now part of a party freak omega circle infamous in the entire universe for their rave parties and wild drunk escapes with him as the ring leader. They always made the headlines on Valim Network with images of their rowdy behavior showcased to the entire empire.


    Despite his status as prince, his embarrassing behavior wasn''t befitting of a stand omega image which are sweet, well-behaved, elegant and graceful but he was none of those things which angered the entire royal family. The emperor wanted to marry him off but who would agree to it? With such a frivolous nature he would sure bring their family down with him.


    But this so-called rowdy ill-mannerd omega was special. This party animal act was all a facade to cover up his illegal actions breaking rules set for omegas. He and his circle of omega friends were part of an underground omega group called xianxi and their objective was to find a rich in Xianore a depleting mineral vital in operating mechs, war ships and normal machinery. Using the information inherited from histe mother he set off looking for the pilgrimage warship that crashed somewhere in uncharted space containing the exact location of such a.


    With this kind of power he could free omegas who had no desire to be subjected to this kind of system and also free himself from the bounds of his father, the emperor. Such a bucket load of information had Wen Qinxi feeling light headed as hey back down absorbing it.


    ''You see, though you are an omega you can still as you said ''blow shit up'' now please makeme invisible again or at least turn me into a boy,'' pled the cute system seated next to Wen Qinxi with its tiny legs dangling on the couch as they were too short.

 Chapter 102: Second World: World Class Pervert

    Chapter 102: Second World: World ss Pervert


    Wen Qinxi deliberately ignored the system while thinking through his n of action to pass this world. It was a good thing Qie Ranzhe didn''t like him as Wen Qinxi had no desire to repeat the same mistakes as in the previous world. Having Qie Ranzhe fall for him once more was an absolute no in this world. It was a nice feeling being loved and the intimacy was truly remarkable but his fear of pain wasn''t only limited to physical but also emotional. Despite having never considered being interested in men he also had a fragile heart and wouldn''t handle a heartbreak too well. This might only be a game but his feelings and emotions were as real as day.


    With that in mind, he made his deration to the system, ''This time l am sticking to my n and help him in the shadows,'' while sitting upright.


    ''Right, right work in stealth mode l get it. Now back to my thing. Change me back please,'' said the cute system with watery doe-eyes.


    ''Haha, why would l do that when you look fuckin cute? This is your punishment for hiding things from me. I will only change you back when l satisfied,'' said Wen Qinxi with a sinister grin all over his face.


    ''Ah, Lao da, why you being like this? Cute is for puppies not a powerful AI like me,'' cried the system but Wen Qinxi ignored it getting acquainted with his newpatriots in the game. This group of four omegas were his aplishes, his ''ride or die'' squad. The pink-haired omega named Xiao Hua was actually a young master of one three powerful families owning five minings that supplied the entire universe. The only reason he could run around with Prince Xieshu was that his parents were hippies and set low standards for their son as they believed in a free-range method of raising kids. He was basically a hooligan running around like a headless chicken till he met Zhao Xieshu in high school.


    Among the group were a pair of fraternal twins Teng being the girl omega and Tong the boy omega. The two were rescued by Prince Xieshu from traffickers when they twelve years old. From then on they pledged their loyalty to him and have been following him around for six years straight.


    The fourth omega with a scar on his right eye was known as Huaidan which was obviously a pseudo name he gave himself when he left his family after cutting his face with a de to get out of an engagement with an abusive alpha. Prince Xieshu helped him escape from his home and gave him a new identity.


    Besides these four there was also Captain Rueda an omega who disguised herself as a beta to join the UPSF fleet and earned the rank Captain of the powerful Delta Zeta team specializing in recon missions but her secret was exposed and Prince Xieshu helped her escape by faking her death.


    Thest team member was a genius omega who wanted to venture into Mecha designs but because of his status as an omega, he was rejected regardless of his advanced technological designs. Prof Bianzhi was his name but ever since Prince Xieshu scouted him his name changed to Meng Bianfu. These seven members made up the whole of Xianxi a secretive tight-knit group unknown to the entire universe.


    Just when he was about to open his mouth and say something to the rowdy group of four the door was swung open as a group of six men dressed in suits swaggered in guarding an alpha wearing a striped shirt and roses in hand. Wen Qinxi flinched when he recalled this character from the game file. Young Master Youhuo Zhe of the Youhuo family which was the biggest supporter of Emperor Zhao with deep-rooted ties. Youhuo Zhe was obsessed with Wen Qinxi''s character even though his family had banned him from seeing this omega in fear of ckening their family name.


    That, however, didn''t dissuade this young master from pursuing Zhao Xieshu. Like a true yer, Youhuo Zhe knelt before him calling out, "Xie Xie these are for you," in a low maic voice that had some waiters blushing. Though they had strict instructions not to do anything to offend their guests, one beta girl couldn''t resist secretly live streaming the entire incident onto Valim Network.


    Wen Qinxi was stupefied ring at this smooth operator holding up a bunch of roses to him. ording to the game files, Youhuo Zhe had already been ruthlessly rejected multiple times but just wouldn''t stop pestering Zhao Xieshu even when their parents got involved.


    "Ai young master Youhou l admire your tenacity...but don''t you ever get tired of ying this cat and mouse game?" asked Teng leaning against Tong who snickering beside her.


    "Xie Xie your problem is that you are too fuckin nice. Let me show you how to properly reject someone," said Huaidan taking out a knife.


    "Hahaha, Huaidan, calm down no one is cutting Xie Xie''s face," said Xiao Hua forcing Huidan to sit back down while concealing the knife.


    Huaidan obediently sat down with his deadly stare fixed on Youhuo Zhe while saying, "Not Xie Xie''s face, l was talking about his. Hey, take your stupid roses and shove them where the sun don''t shine you...Mm, mhm." Huaidan didn''t get to say thest part as his mouth was covered by Xiao Hua before he could further offend Youhuo Zhe likest time.


    Wen Qinxi didn''t want to attract unnecessary trouble in this world so he simply said, "Fuck off," in a stern tone shutting Youhuo Zhe down before standing up to create some distance between them but who would have thought Youhuo Zhe would take advantage of him and grope his butt saying,


    "Come on why do you keep ying hard to get when you hang out in ces like this," he said now standing behind him whispering in his ear, "be my kept omega and l will treat you better than your family does. How about it?"


    Wen Qinxi''s entire body froze in shock that is before his fight response kicked in. As though injected with chicken blood, he smashed the ss on the counter before punching Youhuo Zhe. Like chopped timber, Youhou Zhe came tumbling down with a loud thud grimacing in pain while holding his bleeding nose. The guards tried to intervene but were stopped by Youhuo Zhe himself. Wen Qinxi hated perverts the most groping women exploiting their weakness as they mostly couldn''t fight back. He tried to help out if this ever happened in his presence he just never thought such a thing could happen to him.


    ''Boss you shouldn''t hit him hard remember you are an omega,'' said the panicked system trying to stop Wen Qinxi from exposing his character to the entire universe but Wen Qinxi was like a firecracker and wouldn''t stop till he was satisfied. With his new skill set, he could easily beat down the pervert with no issues.

 Chapter 103: Second World: Slutty Omega

    Chapter 103: Second World: Slutty Omega


    Wen Qinxi pinned the pervert down throwing several punches with his squad rallying him on. Who wouldn''t want to see an alpha being taught a lesson by an omega? "Ohhhhh, Xie-ge break his third leg!" yelled Tang leaning in to get a better view of this interesting show.


    "Hahaha make him eat those fuckin roses of his," yelled Teng as the rest joined in boisterousughter.


    As though listening to them Wen Qinxi really did shove roses into his mouth saying, "If you fuckin dare touch a beta or omega without permission l will castrate your family jewels and disy them to the entire Valim Network you fuckin asshole," with a sinister expression on his face but Youhuo Zhe foolishly smiled at him instead.


    Wen Qinxi, "...."


    ''Shit, another fuckin masochist?'' he thought as he raised his fist intending to knock him out but he was immediately hauled by his waist off of Youhuo Zhe. ''What the fuck?'' he thought with his entire body ced on someone''s shoulder like he weighed nothing.


    "Aiyo.....how fuckin romantic. Xie-ge, l am so jealous,'' said Xiao Hua as they watched their leader being carried away by the alpha of his dreams.


    "Today must be Xie Xie''s lucky day. Youhuo Zhe you shoulde often to be cannon fodder and help Xie Xie win the love of his life," said Tong before bursting into unrestrainedughter earning him a poisonous re from Youhuo Zhe who was spitting out some rose petals.


    Wen Qinxi couldn''t understand what they were talking about punching the back of the person carrying as hard as he could. ''Jolie! What the fuck?'' asked Wen Qinxi unable to see the face of the person who had the balls to humiliate him like this. The system wanted to say something but Wen Qinxi was roughly shoved into a ck flying Maybach-like car.


    Panicked Wen Qinxi felt around his neck for his interspatial crystal the character hung around his neck as a pendant storing his Mecha but soon recalled the character left it at the base for servicing. He was about to open the door and make his escape but the doors were immediately locked with a tall figure entering from the other side of the car. Wen Qinxi was about to fight him that is until he saw his face.


    "Shit! It''s you?" he said in astonishment when he saw a stern-looking Qie Ranzhe dressed in dark navy uniform with several medals enhancing his handsome features. The Marshal didn''t spare him a nce scolding him, "Shameless," as the car started off heading to the pce.


    Wen Qinxi who had no idea why he was being scolded could only annunciate one word, "Ah....," before meeting the driver''s gaze through the rear-view mirror. He was staring at Wen Qinxi''s open shirt exposing his corbone and part of his chest. ckjawed, Wen Qinxi looked down at his open shirt and quickly buttoned up while the system reminded him of something crucial. ''You might not remember but Zhao Xieshu has been obsessed with the Marshal from childhood constantly gifting him with things and throwing himself at Qie Ranzhe. You prancing around with an open shirt can easily be misunderstood as an act of seduction so.....yeah," in a low tone as though easing Wen Qinxi into it so he wouldn''t explode in anger.


    ''Who the fuck is trying to seduce him? Tsk....,'' he responded to the system with his shirt fully buttoned including the top button which was restricting his neck that he couldn''t help but cough while adjusting it down with his hand.


    As though sensing the omega beside him was now dignified, Qie Ranzhe finally addressed him. "The emperor sent me to bring you back. You have been out causing trouble for an entire week, his not pleased by your actions," he said but didn''t get any response from the omega sitting next to him. This reaction waspletely new to him leaving him slightly confused. By now, Zhao Xieshu would have his arm around him trying to either apologize for inconveniencing him or telling him sweet nothings to cate him no matter how hard Qie Ranzhe pushed him away. But the omega in front of him was treating him like air which was actually good for the Marshal but he couldn''t help wonder what roused this change.


    Qie Ranzhe looked down at his hand that was swollen from punching Youhuo Zhe and frowned in concern before reaching out to examine it. Who would have expected to be met by an ice-cold stare as the omega took back his hand in displeasure? Though he only held the prince''s hand for a mere second he noticed a purple bruise on his wrist exposed out of his long sleeve. This bruise seemed to have been caused by someone restraining him. Thinking it was from a lover during some form of adult activities, Qie Ranzhe advised, "If you like indulging in such lustful things then why not have the alpha or beta marry you. I am sure the Emperor would appro-."


    The intention might have been good but this all Wen Qinxi heard, ''promiscuous and slutty omega'' which this character wasn''t. His devotion to the Marshal deterred him from choosing another partner. Hearing Qie Ranzhe say this was a pure insult to Prince Xieshu so Wen Qinxi rudely cut him off saying, "Why do you run around looking for me whenever the Emperor asks you to? Don''t you have more important military things to handle instead of ying babysitter? Unless you are saying there is now a Babysitting Division in UPSF and you are its Head?" said Wen Qinxi in a scornful manner but in truth, this was a way to guide Qie Ranzhe and let him know that he didn''t have to do everything the emperor told him too.


    Qie Ranzhe wasn''t upset by his words responding with, "Based on the fact that we have known each other since childhood, I thought it did be best l ept this task otherwise who is more qualified to handle a hot head like you?" but it only infuriated Wen Qinxi.


    "The Marshal truly thinks highly of himself, haha.....wow. You know what from now on you don''t have to bother with a hot head like me. Don''t evere looking for me," he said before tapping hismunicator to y some music as some earpieces appeared on his ear.


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t mind being ignored like this but he still had one burning question and decided to send a text to Prince Xieshu''smunicator. A notification shed almost immediately on Zhao Xieshu''smunicator. Seeing the contact name, Wen Qinxi was stunted speechless internally yelling, ''What the fuck?'' He immediately tried to change the contact name from SexyDaddyRan to something else but failed as he couldn''t understand the stupidmunicator. Gritting his teeth in frustration, he opened the message reading ''how did you subdue an alpha?''


    Wen Qinxi responded saying, "He was inebriated," in a cool yet dismissive tone before looking out the window admiring this futuristic world. The two naturally didn''t speak again the entire way to the pce.

 Chapter 104: Second World: Abusive father

    Chapter 104: Second World: Abusive father


    Being stuck in an enclosed space with a stone-cold Marshal was one of the most awkward moment for Wen Qinxi ever since he entered this game. Even the lust-filled scene wasn''t as awkward as this. Just when he thought things wouldn''t get worse the system reyed a scene in high school were Zhao Xieshu fought a beta who made a public confession of her love to Qie Ranzhe during a sporting event. This embarrassing incident was the beginning of recurring suspensions from school for Zhao Xieshu.


    He was normally a sensible omega but when it came to the dear Marshal, the once sensible omega turned ruthless. Zhao Xieshu did all this for an alpha that only saw him as an acquaintance nothing more, not even as a friend with the Marshal''s heart leaning towards the beautiful and elegant Zhao Huangzhi. ''Things have to fuckin change,'' he said to the system as the flying car lowered down in pce parking lot.


    ''Mn, jiayou boss!'' replied the cute system sitting between them with Wen Qinxi being the only one who could see it.


    Wen Qinxi didn''t even have time to admire the majestic pce incorporating ancient Chinese architecture infused with futuristic features. A pce guard briskly opened the door and saluted him while sneaking nces at the prince. Wen Qinxi didn''t notice but Qie Ranzhe did. He immediately blocked the pce guard''s view with an indifferent ice-cold expression on his face that had the pce guard recoil averting his gaze.


    It wasn''t news that Prince Xieshu''s ravishing looks transcended the heavens resembling a fallen deity shunned from above for his bewitching countenance. If his character matched that of normal omega he would have a lot of families fighting over him to marry their children. With this kind of intoxicating charm, there weren''t short of people who harboured immoral thoughts towards him.


    Wen Qinxi walked ahead of Qie Ranzhe following the game files to the Amaryllis Pavilion where the emperor resided. Just as he reached the pavilion grounds, Qie Ranzhe finally spoke saying. "If you want a dependable loyal partner all you have to do is change your bad habits. I am sure you will find someone and won''t have to rely on suppressants to manage your estrus," he said with good intentions but unable toprehend how sexist his advice was.


    Wen Qinxi''s chest tightened as a raging fire blossomed within him. He struggled to suppress his anger and let out a calming exhale before turning to face the Marshal with a fixed smile. "The Marshal doesn''t have to be concerned with my matters. It did be best if you worry about yourself from now on," he said before walking into the main hall where the emperor was seated on his throne expecting their arrival.


    Wen Qinxi respectfully bowed before the frosty emperor who was Zhao Xieshu''s father andQie Ranzhe naturally followed suit. Emperor Zhao waved his hand in a dismissive manner saying, "Sorry to trouble you again Marshal Qie. I am sure you have other things to do so you may take your leave," barely sparing his firstborn son a nce.


    Qie Ranzhe obediently bowed before the emperor before exiting the main hall without looking back once but as soon as he was gone, the emperor''s true colours shone like the sun reprimanding his son. "You stupid child haven''t you caused enough trouble?" yelled the enraged emperor throwing an expensive vase which urately striking Wen Qinxi''s chest effectively shing his skin underneath the fabric of his shirt.


    ''What the fuck, Jolie? Why is this old bastard beating me up for real? Even Master Lin never followed through with his threats giving me punishment instead,'' said Wen Qinxi to the cute girly system hovering above him.


    ''You haven''t gone through the entire game file yet but this Emperor Zhao hates his son so much and often beats him to vent his anger. Please endure it a little longer, l even lowered the pain index for you," said the system sympathizing with Wen Qinxi''s who was currently curled up like a ball on the ground grimacing in pain.


    Emperor Zhao was in love with his childhood sweetheart Ying Wuzhishu but because of the instability of the royal family''s influence at that time, the then crown prince married Gu Xiejie of the powerful Gu family with ties to the UPSF fleet. Why the Gu family? It was because they were the main weapon supplier to the massive army making them powerful enough to help him maintain his position with minimum opposition. Though he married the omega, he never cared for her just using her for her family empire. When old General Gu died, the newly appointed Emperor Zhao took over the Gu family empire as Gu Xiejie was the only surviving heir.


    Though he was now in full control of the Gu family wealth there was one problem and that was Gu Xiejie. She wasn''t stupid fully aware of the emperor''s intentions and constantly hindered him. Fortunately for him, he didn''t have to deal with her any longer as she died in an ident leaving behind a two-year-old Zhao Xieshu who was a constant eyesore in the Emperor''s eyes.


    Wen Qinxi touched his chest only to have his fingertips stained with blood. His fingers trembled in shock as the emperor continued to scold him. "What the fuck is this?," he said pointing at a 5D image reying the events at the club, "Do you know how long it took me to pacify the Youhuo family, huh? So fuckin useless. You should have followed your mother to her grave at least then you would have done me a great service." As expected, Zhao Xieshu didn''t cry or plead for mercy which always enraged the emperor intensifying his aggressive behaviour.


    The livid emperor rose from his throne and tightly grasped the prince''s wrist that was injured thest time the emperor beat him causing Wen Qinxi to quiver in pain with tears stinging his eyes. With his alpha strength he ruthlessly flung Zhao Xieshu out of the main hall yelling, "Confine him in his pavilion for two weeks! Make sure you fix this," pointing at the image titled Badass Prince Omega strikes again. Wen Qinxi was then dragged by two pce guards to his pavilion.


    The door was securely locked from outside after they dropped the prince in his pavilion with two guards patrolling outside cutting off Zhao Xieshu''s escape route. Wen Qinxi sat up with an ugly expression on his face while taking off his shirt to check on his wounds. His entire body was covered in fresh bruises from scraping his skin on the concrete when the emperor threw him outside. Both his palms, elbow and knee had their fair share of red swollen bruises that were painful to the touch.


    "Boss, there is a medical kit in the drawer. At least their medical treatment is fast and effective," said the system as Wen Qinxi limped around the room in confusion.


    "Are their medical treatments also fast and effective at treating trauma and depression? This so fucked up," he said sympathizing with victims of domestic violence vowing to do something about it in the real world. The system wore a downcast expression not sure what to say.


    Wen Qinxi dressed his wounds and limped to the kitchen to make something to eat as his stomach growled in hunger. It turned out Zhao Xieshu had exceptional cooking skills despite being a prince. ording to the game files, Zhao Xieshu had learnt to cook so as to impress Qie Ranzhe but unfortunately for him, the Marshal didn''t even get to try his masterpiece refusing his packed bento each time.


    "His loss," said Wen Qinxi shrugging his shoulder as he tossed a grape in the air before it sessfullynded into his mouth. After making a grand meal for one, Wen Qinxi ate his fill before slipping into the bed to sleep freeing his mind of today''s horrible memory.

 Chapter 105: Second World: Not Apologising To A Pervert

    Chapter 105: Second World: Not Apologising To A Pervert


    A few streets over the Marshal was sitting in his office going over some documents with Machu chatting him up. Machu had been out inspecting new weapons delivered at the base and heard through the grapevine that the Marshal had met up with the rowdy prince today and about the circting video on Valium Network. When it came to Prince Xieshu he had mixed feelings but never expressed his opinions to the Marshal.


    "Oh shit, he beat the crap out of Youhuo Zhe! Haha.....this omega is interesting," said Machu watching the video in amazement for the sixth time.


    "If you''re going to make noise then go somewhere else," said Qie Ranzhe with his gaze fixed on his work. He initially didn''t want to discuss Zhao Xieshu but now that Machu had brought it up he naturally had to ask.


    "What makes someone who was obsessed with you suddenly lose interest after so many years?" asked Qie Ranzhe leaning back in his chair abandoning his documents. Machu who was watching the video for the seventh time with the volume on mute raised his head asking, "Sorry what?" while pausing the video.


    Qie Ranzhe sighed before saying, "Never mind," refocusing his attention on the documents but Machu wouldn''t let him off. It was rare for Qie Ranzhe to ask advice from him and didn''t want to miss the opportunity to actually advise the all-mighty Marshal. He might not be as a good as him when it came to military strategies but he ranked first at normal things.


    After a lot of convincing Qie Ranzhe finally repeated his question leaving Machu agape. "Isn''t this what you been hoping for all these years? You wanted him to move on and he finally did," said Machu scratching his head in confusion.


    Qie Ranzhe''s chest felt constricted a little hearing those words but the feeling dissipated as quickly as it came. "Yes, that''s what l wanted and am really happy about it. It''s like a heavyweight being lifted off my shoulders but wasn''t it a bit too sudden? Just yesterday he sent me a cringing text flirting with me yet today his attitude made a 360-degree turn. I can''t shake the feeling that something is up," he said mulling over today''s events.


    Machu asked for specifics and even he was left vexed when he heard what happened in detail. "Maybe he found love. Either way, it''s a good thing for you. You don''t have to hold back and properly pursue Zhao Huangzhi," said Machu before reying the video once more.


    Qie Ranzhe sighed once more shoving the bothersome thoughts at the back of his head before immersing himself in his work. He decided to observe Zhao Xieshu from afar and monitor him just in case he causes trouble again.


    ***


    In the blink of an eye, two days had passed and just like an animaling out of hibernation, Wen Qinxi arose from his slumber with dishevelled hair that resembled a birds nest. The system had been nudging him to stopzing around and address the incident that was still trending on Valim Network but he sessfully ignored it catching up on some sleep. Like a sloth, Wen Qinxi slowly got out of bed and for the first time, he finally saw his appearance in this world.


    Met by a handsome scruffy youth in the mirror, Wen Qinxi couldn''t help but curse, "Fuck! Jolie my hair is fuckin blonde!" while running his hands through his stray strands. The absence of ck roots meant he was a natural blonde which was actually well suited for this character.


    "Do you want to dye it ck?" asked the system but Wen Qinxi had already moved on admiring his handsome features.


    "Damn, am so fuckin handsome! This is so fuckin unnatural," he said holding up his ear length blonde hair while studying his side profile. His left ear was also pierced making Wen Qinxi thrilled. This was a new experience for him and he intended to enjoy it. He hopped into the shower and quickly cleaned up before prancing around naked in the mechanized walk-in closet.


    An elegant female voice sounded in the closet weing him and informing him about the weather. It was only after the initial excitement wore off did Wen Qinxi pick an outfit to wear. He had to admit, this character wascking nothing with the finest clothes, watches, shoes you name it. It would be best tobel him as a celebratory, not a prince. Wen Qinxi dressed in a white T-shirt, blue lightweight jogger pants and a silver dangling stud before parting his hair in a simple yet elegant style.


    By the time he connected to the entire Valim Network, he looked especially dazzling with an appearance that could make anyone drool over him through the 5D screen. As soon as he started the live stream the system warned him, ''Don''t cause trouble just apologise to Youhuo Zhe and the entire Youhuo family ording to the emperor''s instructions,'' but Wen Qinxi had no intentions of apologising to that pervert. The worst thing the emperor could do was beat him but he couldn''t kill him as Gu family asserts were attached to him all thanks to his mother''s fail-safe. She was still protecting her son even in death.


    The Livestream immediately livened up with five million views in just two seconds of streaming. A barrage ofments admiring him was constantly moving down at a fast pace that Wen Qinxi could barely keep up only catching a fewments like,


    Catniper: AAAAAHHHH so handsome and fierce Xie Xie


    Wiseman56: Marry me Xie Xie l don''t mind being punched by you.


    CuteOmegaddict: Fuck I cut my tongue licking the screen!!!!!!


    OvsO: Upstairs, you fuckin deserved it, hahahahaha.


    Thements were incredibly destructive so Wen Qinxi temporary made them invisible before clearing his throat. "Hello everyone. Excuse me if l stammer a little, l am a bit nervous talking to you all.....I am sure you all know why I am here. Just in case you missed it, there''s been a video circting of me fighting. Just a disimer, l don''t condone any form of violence but....this was absolutely necessary. I hate perverts the most and just couldn''t stand it being fondled by that pretentious prick," he said with his eyes reddening with each word. He drew in a deep inhale before exhaling instantly pacifying his anger.


    "Such behaviour shouldn''t be condoned. Just because betas and omegas are naturally weak it doesn''t give alphas the right to take advantage. Instead of being protectors, you have be predators hurting the weaker party....." he paused biting his lower lip in frustration before carrying on,


    "And just because a person loves going out and having an awesome time doesn''t mean they are loose and easy. My love for partying doesn''t give you permission toy a hand on me. That''s some fucked up shit right there. This is to say l am not going to fuckin apologies," with thest sentence said as a flood gate of emotions gushed out of him speaking without restraining hisnguage.

 Chapter 106: Second World: A Disastrous Livestream

    Chapter 106: Second World: A Disastrous Livestream


    By the end of his emotional statement, the views had tripled and still rising at tremendous speed. The system face-palmed its cute face regretting ever feeling sorry for Wen Qinxi. It was safe to say that rather than having algiophobia Wen Qinxi was more of a troublemaker who just couldn''t sit still without starting shit.


    Wen Qinxi absentmindedly rubbed his thumb against his index finger on his right hand in a soothing motion. "This is thest time l will touch on this subject so l will grant you three questions before l sign off," he said before making thement section visible again. He had to look closely to filter out ament that wasn''t raving about his looks and finally found one in the sea ofments.


    Fraizercradle: How did you subdue an alpha?


    Wen Qinxi drew closer reading the question subconsciously giving a close shot of his lush cherry-plump lips driving the audience insane.


    Xie Xie''s future beta: Aaaww those sweet lips are giving me sensual spring dreams


    TooMeng: woo so seductive kiss kiss, baobei Xie


    XieXie''s alpha: upstairs how dare you drool over my Xie Xie check username


    Xie Xie''s future beta: admin l want to report a crime, upstairs is spouting nonsense


    AdminGu: note to all upstairs you need psychological assistance for being delusional, Xie Xie is obviously mine


    "Haha, l will have you allmitted for a psychological evaluation because l am obviously single. To answer Fraizercradle''s question, the alpha was inebriated which was why l managed to beat him up," said Wen Qinxi lying through his teeth unconsciously rubbing his thumb and index finger together yet again. This character was subjected to extensive training to break the barrier of beingbelled weak. Venturing into the unknown with a team of omegas, he had to have the strength and skills to defend himself and the same goes for his team.


    His answer was weed by the audience with a lot of people taunting the alpha bombarding thement section. Wen Qinxi browsed through the chaoticments seeking out a good question smiling radiantly when he found one.


    Cicadaboy: no please don''t smile like that my poor heart can''t take it anymore


    Catniper: slurp, slurp, slurp that the sound of me licking my Xie Xie through the screen


    CuteOmegaddict: in ss just got caught by my lecturer kissing the screen, fuck so embarrassing


    Wen Qinxi couldn''t help butugh, these people were too hrious. "Haha, Mangosteen32 asked if l have a crush on someone. The answer to the question is no. Okay, onest question before l go. I am really hungry and want to make something to eat," he said while scanning thements once more.


    A few streets over at UPSF headquarters, Mangosteen32 aka Machu couldn''t believe it. Prince Xieshu had really lost interest in the Marshal. Distracted while staring nkly at the screen he was jolted awake by Qie Ranzhe asking, "What are you doing?" His soul flew straight out of his body in fright with his body almost falling off his chair.


    "I-I...um....I," he nervously stammered but Machu didn''t get to finish when the image on hismunicator showed a dazzling omega chuckling at thements.


    Wiseman56: HAHAHAHAHA !!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry Marshal the tribe has spoken and you have been eliminated


    OvsO: RIP Marshal, Xie Xie is all mine now. Burning joss paper


    Cicadaboy: never thought l did see this day, lighting a candle for our dear Marshal


    Qie Ranzhe creased his brows peering at thements in confusion while asking, "Why are they all acting as though l am dead?"


    "Sigh....Prince Xieshu just openly dered that he doesn''t like anyone. Before he would always fawn over you in his live streams but today he just said he doesn''t like anyone,'' said Machu turning back to watch some more but Qie Ranzhe grabbed hismunicator browsing through with a zed expression.


    Machu, "...."


    Back at the pce, Wen Qinxi watched as thements shifted to the prince being able to cook and requests for a cooking Livestream. "Alright, I will do it when I have time.....Thest question is from OvsO asking if l have a specific type l am interested in and yes l actually do. I am leaning towards a girl alpha," he saidzily leaning back into the couch his appearance seeming tantalizing enough to make one''s spine tingle in excitement.


    Thements section was silent for a while basically the calm before the storm. In a split second thements exploded but Wen Qinxi was too exhausted to hang around. "Thank you so much for taking some time out for me. Until next time bye bye...., fuck how do l switch this off? Oh there," he said thinking he had sessfully shut off the Livestream but it was still filming with him walking around the house, "woo that was a mouthful l am so hungry, Jolie what should l make?"


    The camera was unfocused moving with him before he ced themunicator on the counter with a faint red light blinking. He soon appeared in the frame while fiddling in the kitchen oblivious to the crazyments on the Livestream. Zhao Xieshu didn''t have a service robot in his pavilion fearing the emperor would use it to spy on him so Wen Qinxi naturally had to do it himself.


    Catniper: Holy shit Xie Xie didn''t turn off the Livestream and he doesn''t know. AAAAAHHHH! My Xie hurry up and turn it off


    TooMeng: secretly wishing he takes off his t-shirt


    XieXie''s alpha: face-pping the guy upstairs. Xie Xie without clothes is for my eyes only


    Concerned for the prince, Qie Ranzhe picked up his ownmunicator calling him to turn off the Livestream but Zhao Xieshu''s reaction waspletely unexpected. On camera he watched Zhao Xieshu turn to hismunicator, scowling at the caller ID saying, "Fuck off," while nonchntly declining the call followed by cklisting the number with his chest in full view of the entire screen.


    Qie Ranzhe, "...."

 Chapter 107: Second World: Prince Disses Marshal Live

    Chapter 107: Second World: Prince Disses Marshal Live


    A barrage ofments admiring the prince''s firm chest under the fabric and others mocking the caller that had not only been rejected but also cklisted. Thements overloaded the Livestream causing it tog. Just as Qie Ranzhe was about to use Machu''smunicator which he had snatched away from him for the second time and call Prince Xieshu, a call suddenly came through on the prince''smunicator.


    Wen Qinxi saw it was Xiao Hua and picked it up with no hesitation saying, "What Hua Hua you miss me already?" on loudspeaker while chopping some mushroom.


    "I saw your Livestream," said Xiao Hua but there was some snickering feedback in the background that he said, "Sshhh," reprimanding them to stay silent. "Um...ahem...l just saw it."


    "And?" asked Wen Qinxi tossing in the vegetables in the wok to stir fry with his entire focus on making food.


    "You really don''t like the Marshal anymore? I mean just like that?" he asked trying to suppress hisughter.


    Wen Qinxi finally had enough and went on a swearing rampage. "What''s so fuckin good about him anyway? I was too fuckin blind running around like a lovesick puppy like he''s the only fuckin alpha on this," he said before mming the knife on the cutting board with a loud bang.


    "Sigh.....I have nothing against the Marshal but he can go for that green tea bitch for all I care. l have moved on so don''t fuckin mention his name in front of me ever again," seemingly pacified.


    "I bet he never...um even tried your cooking even when you learnt it.....for um.....him," said Xiao Hua struggling to suppress hisughter.


    "That fuckin piece shit dared to toss my food in the trash. He thinks l didn''t fuckin see it when I fuckin did! All those wasted years of pursuing his pompous ass have fuckine to an end," said a passionate Wen Qinxi while tying up his hair recalling all the things the character did to get Qie Ranzhe''s attention but was constantly tossed aside for Zhao Huangzhi. The thought of Zhao Huangzhi being with Qie Ranzhe left a sour taste in his mouth and venting about it made his chest feel lighter.


    A burst of burstughter was heard from the other end of the call with Tong saying, "Xie Xie...pfft....um your Livestream is still on. Its...hum...its been on the entire time, hahahahaha!"


    "Shit! You fuckers," said a panicked Wen Qinxi pressing disconnect three times before opting to switch off the device instead. By the time the broadcast ended his views were a whopping three billion breaking Livestream records with a trending ''Prince Disses Marshal'' headline.


    Being scolded like this on a Livestream, Qie Ranzhe had mixed feelings. He wasn''t necessarily angry but he felt a prickly pain in his chest asking Machu, "Was l too excessive?"


    "No," said Machu recalling the trash can incident. "No," he said again recalling several other incidences. "Yes, a little," he finally said unable to whitewash the Marshal''s rejection methods. "I know you were only trying to discourage and get him to give up but I can see why he is angry. At least you two won''t be entangled with each other ever again."


    Qie Ranzhe bowed his head down in a daze looking like a dejected little duck, feeling regretful. Yes, at least he won''t be entangled with Zhao Xieshu again.


    ***


    Because Wen Qinxi stirred up even more trouble he was confined to his pce for another two weeks but based on Zhao Xieshu''s character this wasn''t a hindrance as the omega had several means to bypass the security system and leave the pavilion undetected. Wen Qinxi was itching to explore the so-called secret base but just as he was preparing to sneak out, the main door was suddenly pushed opened from the outside and Zhao Huangzhi strutted into his pavilion as if she owned the ce.


    It was obvious why she was here but Wen Qinxi was not in the mood to deal with crazy people. Shenguidly sat on the couch without waiting for his invitation not uttering a single word that is until Wen Qinxi stood in front of her urging her to state the reason for her uninvited visit, "Speak."


    Zhao Huangzhi raised a brow and looked up to him as though sizing him up while saying, "I saw your Livestream, you really don''t like him anymore?"


    "I am over him, rest assured we aren''t going to be love rivals anymore," he said wishing he could kick her out as he had an urgent date with a Mecha.


    "We weren''t love rivals from the beginning. You seriously overestimate yourself Xieshu, hahahahaha," said Zhao Huangzhi letting out a haughtyugh, "It''s so pathetic that you actually thought this was apetition," taunting him but she didn''t get a reaction from Zhao Xieshu whose expression remained unchanged.


    "Sure, sure, l overestimated my abilities. Now don''t waste your precious time hanging around with me when you have an alpha waiting for you. Go on," he said politely kicking her out if there is ever such a thing. "Wish you evesting happiness with lots and lots of cute dumplings, can''t wait to be an uncle!" he yelled with a bright smile having to have sessfully thrown out Zhao Huangzhi before closing the door.


    A puzzled Zhao Huangzhi didn''t understand what had just happened. ''How could winning be this simple?'' she thought looking back at the tightly shut door. She immediately turned on her heel to leave before the emperor found out she had paid Zhao Xieshu a visit. He would be extremely livid that she might get punished as well.


    While Zhao Huangzhi was mulling over her unexpected victory, Wen Qinxi found the sliding automated door, simr to a murphy door, masked as a wide built-in wall shoe shelf in the walk-in closet which automatically opened after extracting his DNA sample. He had only found out about this secret after extensively going through the character files and was dying to know what was hidden inside.

 Chapter 108: Second World: Saving The In-laws

    Chapter 108: Second World: Saving The Inws


    Behind the door was a fully equipped room with hardcopy photographic images of beautiful sceneries hung on the walls but these weren''t regr photos. They contained encrypted codes for Mecha designs, sensitive information and interster maps. A secure way to keep UPSF cyberwork out of Xianxi''s business. On the right end was a shelf of neatly arranged weapons ranging from assault rifles, pistols tobat knives. Esthetic beyond measure, Wen Qinxi touched everything like a kid at a toy store. He really wanted to test them out but this wasn''t the ce nor time to fire weapons.


    Out of excitement, he essed his weapon skillset disassembling an OS-1 pistol but just as he finished reassembling it, the system suddenly showed up looking as cute as ever in a panicking state. "You might as well take that pistol with you, the emperor made his first attempt to kill the Marshal, of course, his parents are the ones that will die if you don''t hurry. You have to go save them," said the system wishing it could push Wen Qinxi out of the door.


    "Where?" asked Wen Qinxi while shoulder holstering two pistols and a ckbat knife like an experienced army ranger.


    "At the Mendes interster market. Qie Ranzhe just cancelled his appointment with his parents but the emperor''s people already released crazed Zerg with a DNA targeting chip. They''re only after the Marshal and anyone rted to him," said the system as Wen Qinxi put on a ck slim jacket before grabbing a Japanese Kitsune mask to conceal his identity. Wen Qinxi soon exiting the room using a well-maintained tunnel with an exit inside a high-end barbershop were everyone seemed familiar with him.


    A purple-haired barber with a pair of scissors in his hand waved at him mocking him, "Stirred up trouble again?" with an amused expression.


    Wen Qinxi smiled in response, "As per ushe," he said while pushing the main door open with his back before exiting. The barber tsked while shaking his head smiling. Wen Qinxi looked extremely eye-catching dressed in ck jogger pants paired with a red t-shirt and white sneakers. His expensive jacket outshined his light blonde hair tied in ponytail attracting passerby''s attention.


    Some pointed in his direction instantly recognising him as their rowdy prince but didn''t get to talk to him as he darted towards the busy mall. ''All l wanted was to y with a mecha but now you have me running aimlessly like a headless chicken,''ined Wen Qinxi as he strolled into the mall not knowing which direction to take while subconsciously rubbing his thumb with his index finger. This ce was massive, ten times bigger than thergest mall in his neighbourhood.


    ''Boss, you need to focus on your true mission not ying with toys,'' said Jolie trying to locate Qie Ranzhe''s parents.


    ''Sure, sure mission, not toys,'' said Wen Qinxi before dialling an encrypted number on hismunicator but before it could connect the system found them.


    ''Second level shop one two five,'' said an anxious Jolie.


    Wen Qinxi rushed up the esctor as the call connected but before Captain Rueda said anything, he spoke first reporting his location and the possible threat before abruptly disconnecting the call.


    While Wen Qinxi was rushing over, the Qie couple were in a clothing store with Mama Qie dragging her husband along to vent out her anger shopping for unnecessary things. She was angry because her son had once again cancelled their appointment for work reasons. This meeting was extremely important as they had been invited to the imperial pce for dinner. She was hoping to bring up a possible union between her son and Zhao Huangzhi and wanted to discuss it with her son first. Who knew he would cancelst minute.She angrily shuffled through the clothing reck with her husband silently watching from the sideline with a pensive look.


    "I know why they are inviting us, its to mend ties especially after what Prince Xieshu said about my son to the entire universe through Valim Network. That omega is trouble with a vulgar mouth," she said before pausing her angry shuffling to look at her inattentive husband, "are you even listening to me?"


    Papa Qie, a retired Marshal had survived three inteary wars but couldn''tst three seconds of his wife''sints. "Mn, I am listening. Your son doesn''t like him so you don''t have to worry about him. Why not buy a dress for little Su," he said trying to distract his wife by mentioning their eight-year-old alpha daughter currently at school.


    "Yes, there are some dresses over there l will go take a look. We also need to make a good impression at this dinner an-," she said but paused when she heard blood-curdling screamsing from outside the store.


    The crowd of shoppers outside the store seemed fuzzled running away from something. The people in the clothing store weren''t sure how to react looking peering through the ss window trying to see what was chasing the shoppers. Just when the manager was about to ask his staff to direct their patrons to the nearest exit and initiate emergency protocols a loud shattering sound apanied with sinister snarling sounds sent the shopper in a frenzy running in all directions.


    Papa Qie knew exactly what that was based on his extensive army experience and reached out to grab his wife but was pushed away by a frenzied crowd. Mama Qie was slow to react as an enthusiastic Zerg dove in her direction exposing its sharp ws and canines. Just as Madam Qie reigned to her fate a flying figure pushed her out the waynding a few feet away. Papa Qie grabbed hold of his wife looking for a ce to hide when the figure being pressed down by the Zerg suddenly fired two shots through the Zerg''s head.


    Wen Qinxi pushed the zerg corpse that had copsed on top of him and stood up displeased with his jacket that was stained with ck Zerg blood. The Qie Couple saw an average height skinny figure wearing a Kitsune mask wiping his jacket in disgust causing the couple to stare at each other in astonishment.


    "Fuck!" said the auto-tuned voiceing from Kistune masked man looking down at his jacket in disdain.

 Chapter 109: Second World: The Distractive Pink Vibrator

    Chapter 109: Second World: The Distractive Pink Vibrator


    After the appearance of the now-dead zerg, the entire store fell in utter silencepletely deserted in a split second. It was eerie silent with barely audible snarls and gruntsing from the zerg sounding more like some form ofnguage. His hyperactive senses could detect the zerg stealthy entering the clothing store while blowing out the store lights making the room ill-lit with the only source of lighting from the corridor outside barely lighting the store. The ominous bone-chilling atmosphere intensified at the sound of broken ss shards crunching under the Zerg''s w-like feet.


    Wen Qinxi gestured with his finger for them to be silent and helped the ashen-faced Mama Qie as they crouched down slowly distancing themselves from the predator''s corpse. This kind of scary situation was a first for Wen Qinxi, his first time experiencing a live-action horror movie scene with no way to guarantee his safety. Though he had the necessary skill set to survive this ordeal he was ovee with the fear of facing those creatures face to face.


    This character was indeed capable, even though he was petrified with a cold chill running down his spine he still knew what to do and how to do it well in advance. He led the couple to a well-hidden corner while surveying the surrounding while urging the Qie couple to hide inside the clothing rack. The couple simultaneously looked up at the sexy lingerie hanging above their heads before giving him funny looks. Wen Qinxi hesitantly followed their gaze and nervouslyughed saying, "Pfft....This is perfect. Even the zerg will be too embarrassed to search for you here," in a half-joking manner.


    Just when he thought things wouldn''t get any more awkward than this, a pair of crotchless ck thong underwear that could barely cover the front fell from the hanger above straight onto Papa Qie''s head. Wen Qinxi had to fend off his urge tough as he the older man slowly removed the underwear from his head and curiously stared at it for a good minute as though trying to figure out how one would put it on.


    Mama Qie naturally couldn''t bear it anymore pping the thong out of her husband''s hand while ring at him. This was tooical but because he was in a life-threatening situation Wen Qinxi had put a note to self toughter.


    Though braving it out Wen Qinxi was so terrified that he unconsciously leaked minuscule pheromones as he nervously rubbed his thumb against his index finger. Because he was pre-upied with more pressing matters, he didn''t notice the subtle pheromones that only an experienced omega would notice and that experience omega was Mama Qie.


    Mama Qie smelt the faint pheromones and found the scent a bit familiar. While the masked man was looking away she took another whiff while carefully scrutinising him. That familiar plumeria omega scent swept her senses once more and she had a moment of enlightenment. As an omega, she was extremely sensitive when it came to other omega pheromones. It was to the point that she could tell who the omega was by the scent of their pheromones especially of her close associates.


    She could only associate that scent with one person and that person was already deceased. Baffled, she took another whiff to confirm her suspicions. There was no doubt in her mind that this was indeed a pheromone unique to Empress Xiejie. Mama Qie was more stupefied by the familiar scent than the fact that their saviour who single-handily took down a zerg was an omega.


    She would have brushed it off as coincidence but that repetitive mannerism confirmed it as the saying goes ''the rivers and mountains may change but one''s essential nature'' (a leopard can''t change its spots). The masked man constantly rubbed his thumb against his index finger and she knew only one person who had that unbreakable habit. Mama Qie couldn''t believe her eyes gawking at him even when he finally turned to look at them.


    "Are you okay?" he asked vigntly surveying the area but could feel Mama Qie''s gaze continuously burrowing through his skin making feel ill at ease. Papa Qie nodded his head but his wife was mute awkwardly looking at the Katsura masked man.


    Wen Qinxi took another pistol from his shoulder holster fiddling with it first before handing it to the retired Marshal. Papa Qie gazed at the pistol in astonishment, this weapon was light years ahead of the ones issued in the fleet. It felt light to the touch but the amount of damage it could deliver was ten times better powered by an elementpletely new to him.


    He looked up to the masked man in awe pondering where this man got his hands on such a godly weapon. "Pair it with your DNA here," he said showing him red light on the pistol, "Senior Marshal, l would have to trouble you toe out of retirement," before silently scurrying off at light speed into the darkness leaving behind a dumbfounded Papa Qie.


    Wen Qinxi hadn''t gone far when he noticed a tall bulky zerg sniffing the air with its narrow nostrils scouting for its prey. Wen Qinxi''s body tensed up with cold sweat dripping all over his body as he sank back into the sea of clothes, lucky for him it hadn''t noticed him yet. After pumping himself up with some courage, he darted towards a nearby cashier''s counter and hid struggling to control his breathing.


    Though he was well-hidden, the zerg seemed to have sensed something as it slowly approached the cashier counter assuming an offensive stance ready to attack at any moment. Wen Qinxi could sense the zerg''s presence with his body turning numb to the point of forgetting to breathe as a chill crept up his spine. While wiping the sweat off his forehead, a strange idea suddenly shed through his mind. Wen Qinxi felt around the counter looking for anything useful but apart from a pair of scissors, hangers and returned clothes there was nothing suitable to serve as a distraction.


    Just when he had given up pondering over a second n, he noticed an open drawer reserved for employees. He quietly rummaged through the drawer and found a pink shopping back with thebel Fund thinking, ''There should be some kind of kids toy or something noisy that can....fuck what the hell is this?''


    He was suddenly faced with a pink long stick-like thing with an on and off button but the nerd simply couldn''t catch up. ''Ahem...boss its a....um...vibrator for women,'' said the system inputting a reminder in its diary to make fun of Wen Qinxi.


    Wen Qinxi''s palms felt like they were being scolded by that long intermediate thing which he almost dropped yelling, ''It''s so fuckin big how does it even fit inside the.....um....you know.....fuck. No wonder girls stay single for longer.''


    ''Boss stop ying with the fuckin vibrator and throw it otherwise you are dead,'' said the system thinking Wen Qinxi survived the entire first world but might be taken down by a pink vibrator at the beginning of the second world.


    ''Fine, fine no need to be snippy,'' sessfully switching it on and flinging at the opposite direction. The pink thing was indeed attention-seeking wiggly at a fast pace on the ground apanied by a loud vibrating sound. The zerg was naturally curious walking away from the cashier''s counter fascinated by the pink thing. The vibrator suddenly glowed a green shing light gradually increasing speed in tion.


    Wen Qinxi,"...."


    ''Why does it have lights?'' asked Wen Qinxi while stealthy jumping over counter nning a sneak attack on the inattentive zerg.


    ''Pfft.....so it can see the airport, ha!'' replied the system snickering but it was soon unable tough as Wen Qinxi fired a perfect shot at the zerg curiously poking the vibrator. The displeased zerg let out a beastly growl ring at him with creepy yellow eyes before charging towards the masked man.


    "Shit!" cursed Wen Qinxi evading its attack by leaping over the zerg while shooting two more shots mid-air. Another perfectly executed shot but the bulky Zerg wouldn''t go down. Wen Qinxi ran as fast as he could with the Zerg sting aser gun in his direction but its actions had inevitably slowed down. The flustered omega grabbed a heavy life-like mannequin and flung it at the weak zerg''s head. Normally this wouldn''t have worked but the alien had already sustained three shots in the head. The mannequin was the final nail to the coffin as the zerg came crashing down with a loud thud.

 Chapter 110: Second World: The Distractive Pink Vibrator 2

    Chapter 110: Second World: The Distractive Pink Vibrator 2


    Wen Qinxi instinctively grabbed hisbat knife and struck the zerg''s skull four times with the zerg blood sttering his mask as a rush of adrenaline coursed his veins. He was about to stand up when a vicious zerg tackled him with both of them falling a few metres away. Thest zerg was smaller in size whenpared to thest one but it was more agile swiftly striking Wen Qinxi with the intention of crushing his skull but the omega blocked it while reaching for his pistol with his other hand.


    As though they had thought of the same thing, they simultaneously aimed their weapons at each other''s heads with the zerg on top of Wen Qinxi. The two red at each as though wordlessly asking, ''are you willing to die together?'' Of course, Wen Qinxi wasn''t willing but how could he negotiate with a zerg.


    The smart zerg spoke a string of sybles seemingly intending to threaten Wen Qinxi.


    Out of the blue, a screen popped up beside Wen Qinxi announcing, ''Initiating zergnguage skill.'' A stupefied Wen Qinxi could now clearly understand the zerg''snguage.


    ''How?'' he asked the system in a daze.


    ''Your character learnt it from a young age. Empress Xiejie taught him,'' said the system wishing it could speed things up.


    ''So fuckin awesome,'' he said before cursing out the zerg in his own mother tongue. The zerg was perplexed for a moment and Wen Qinxi took advantage knocking it out by hitting its vulnerable temple with the grip of his pistol. Wen Qinxi shoved the knocked out zerg off his body and struggled to stand up while breathing heavily with the hand holding the pistol covering his face.


    This was just too much excitement for one day. Just when he was about to heave a sigh of relieve, he heard some rustling sounds and instinctively turned around pointing his pistol in the direction where the sound came from. His eyes were dark filled the traumatic images of what he had just been through.


    Papa Qie raised his arms slightly showing that he wasn''t a threat instantly pacifying the blooded man. "Take her to the hospital she must be traumatized," said Wen Qinxi holstering his weapon.


    "What about you?" asked Papa Qie while supporting his wife who wouldn''t stop staring at the masked man.


    "Don''t worry about me. Just go," he said to the couple that remained frozen on the spot.


    Papa Qie''s eyes softened brimming with gratitude, "Thank you," he said understanding this stranger''s meaning and led his wife out of the store forgetting to return the borrowed weapon he didn''t even get to fire.


    As soon as they left Wen Qinxi crouched down burying his face in his arms trying to distract himself from his sore muscles. Saving people was incredibly taxing.


    "Ah seriously, l was hoping to kick some zerg ass today but the party is already over,'' said Teng as the group of four walked into the destroyed store.


    Wen Qinxi raised his head saying, "l left one alive for you," pointing at the knocked out zerg.


    Tong dragged a body bag over with Hauidan lifting the bulky zerg but his attention was soon drawn to the vibrator wiggly on the ground with disco lights on. "Hahahaha, Xie Xie were you fighting them or having a freaky party," he said as he burst outughing while picking up the vibrator from the ground.


    "How is there a vibrator in a clothing store?" asked Hauidan before cing the zerg down in the body bag.


    "How the fuck would l know?" replied Wen Qinxi as he stood up preparing to leave.


    "Stop wasting time. We look like fuckin robbers with these Kitsune masks," said Xiao Hua using a device to erase camera footage in the entire mall. The omegas finally stopped screwing around and left through the backroom doors of the mall entering a ser mum looking van which was hovering above the roof of the mall. There were there one second and gone the next with three zerg squeezed in the car as they took off their masks.


    "I fuckin hate this van. There is not enough boot space now l have to fuckin sit next to an unconscious zerg. Captain, what if it wakes up on me, what the fuck am l supposed to do with little leg-room?"ined Xiao Hua who was sitting at the back seat with a zerg in a body bag.


    Captain Rueda maintained a stern expression not bothering to reply.


    "Here, show it the vibrator. It will keep it pre-upied till we reach the base," said Tong tossing the wiggling vibrator over to him, "haha you see l am so considerate."


    Xiao Hua frowned holding up the vibrator while saying, "I would rather jump out the window."


    Hauidan caught a whiff of pheromones lingering in the air and said, "Xie Xie you are leaking pheromones. Did you take your suppressant?"


    Wen Qinxi was currently closing his eyes half asleep due to exhaustion. He hadn''t got the hang of omega somatics and how it works so he shook his head indicating no. The van fell inplete silence for a moment which gave him a bad premonition. Just as he opened his eyes to investigate, Tong suddenly jabbed an auto-injectable device that closely resembled an EpiPen into his thigh jolting Wen Qinxi fully awake while cursing out loud.


    "Fuuuukkkkk!" he swore with veins bulging on the side of his neck grimacing in pain, "I am going to fuckin kill you!" In all fairness, the sting from the suppressant injection wasn''t that painful but to someone who feared pain like Wen Qinxi, it was equivalent to being stabbed in the gut. In just a split second the once calm van turned chaotic with omegas yfully tussling in the car but Captain Rueda had had enough threatening them like mother reprimanding her kids in the back seat.


    "If you don''t stop fighting, l will fuckin pull over and beat the crap out of all of you!" she yelled effectively restoring peace in the van till they reached the base.

 Chapter 111: Second World: Mommy Doesnt Love Me Anymore

    Chapter 111: Second World: Mommy Doesn''t Love Me Anymore


    In a highly secure underground bunker, six generals and a Marshal were having an urgent military briefing addressing a pirate group called Outset attacking and piging interster passenger starship as well as freight starship carriers with essential minerals. While the generals were briefing the Marshal on how they had managed to suppress Outset in their regions, Machu suddenly burst in interrupting the meeting before leaning in whispering something to Qie Ranzhe.


    The generals were left with nk expressions as they watched Qie Ranzhe''s expression change from stern to panicked in an instant before he abruptly stood up exiting the room without saying a word. The confused men and women wanted to ask what had the General frazzled but Machu pacified them and ended the conference call with no exnation.


    In less than five minutes, Qie Ranzhe was at the hospital checking on his parents but all his worries vanished when he saw they were unscathed deciding to question them while the incident was still fresh in their memories. Qie Ranzhe asked them to detail the sequence of events but his father wouldn''t speak until the room was clear with only the three of them remaining. Papa Qie took out the pistol and ced it in his son''s hand while giving a detailed report of what transpired in the store including the zerg and the mysterious person who saved them.


    Qie Ranzhe''s brows creased while carefully studying the pistol that was more technologically advanced than what was currently issued in UPSF fleet. "This person, did you see their face? Did you recognize him?" At the mention of recognizing the person, Mama Qie gulped nervously averting her gaze but the two men didn''t notice as they were too immersed in studying the weapon. See his face, no she hadn''t but she had almost certainly recognized the person.


    "I had my men check the surveince system but they said everything from yesterday was erased their drives. Was the person alone?" he asked searching around for a stic bag to preserve whatever evidence was on the weapon.


    "He was alone and took down three zergs by himself. I am not sure if he had aplices," replied Papa Qie trying to recall the events in his mind.


    "He must have because all three zerg bodies are gone. Mother, do you recall anything useful other than what father mentioned?" asked Qie Ranzhe before turning to look at his mother who wasn''t acting her usual self. The fact that they could have a calm conversation without Mama Qie being a drama queen was a miracle in itself. This was a woman who demanded everyone''s attention even for a simple thing as identally cutting her pinkie finger with a knife. She wailed on the phone demanding that her sone back from a military base light-years away for a nick on her finger but when she actually had a good excuse to act pitiful, she didn''t.


    Mama Qie seemed startled saying, "Huh? No.....I don''t remember anything. Didn''t....didn''t see his face but don''t forget tomorrow we are having dinner at the pce." Thest part was said with a little excitement. She wanted to see Zhao Xieshu once more and conduct her own investigation. She should have known, that omega wasn''t simple considering who his mother was.


    Qie Ranzhe and Papa Qie simultaneously facepalmed shaking their heads in disbelief. After such an ordeal she was still thinking about dinner parties. Qie Ranzhe agreed to go before exiting the ward. As soon as he reached the car, he handed the pistol to Machu saying, "Find Weasel to look at this off the books." Weasel was their weapons expert contracted by the fleet but he was also well-versed with weapons on the ck market.


    Machu scrutinised the weapon and almost had his eyes balls fall out cursing, "Holy shit! This is some high-end tech. Where did you get it? Ran-ge l want one too," but he was immediately shut down by that menacing gaze searing through his skin. Where he got it was not important but whom it belonged to. It annoyed him to death that there was an organisation operating right under his nose which he had zero information of.


    ***


    While Wen Qinxi''s forgotten weapon was causing mixed waves of emotion in a certain Marshal, he had just woken up from his nap at the base. Actually, he didn''t wake up because he wanted to but was forcefully woken up by Teng. He had already slept for four hours but they needed him to interrogate the conscious zerg as he was the only one who couldmunicate with those highly evolved creatures.


    Wen Qinxi reluctantly rose from his slumber feeling a little ill-tempered from the suppressant. He quickly washed up andb through his light blonde hair before taking the secure elevator underground. The base was actually located underneath a fully operational hotel spa which was thest ce anyone would suspect. This entire time he had been sleeping in the presidential suite reserved for the four omegas all year around. To the rest of the universe, this was where the rowdy omegas spent time pampering themselves effectively masking their operations.


    Wen Qinxi stepped out of the elevator while yawning but was soon jolted awake when he saw the crimson mecha standing tall in the hangar of the base. He pursed his lips trying to conceal his excitement as tip-toed past Meng Bianfu before embracing the mecha''s leg. "So fuckin cool," he whispered with beaming eyes but he soon heard a voice in his head whining like a spoilt child. At first, he thought it was Jolie but the voice waspletely different, more like childish.


    "Mummy hasn''t seen me for weeks but the first thing he does is hug another mecha''s thigh wuwuwuwu...mummy doesn''t love me anymore," said a crying mecha that couldmunicate with him whenever he was in its vicinity.


    A vexed Wen Qinxi raised a brow in confusion when he heard Xiao Hua say, "Why are you hugging my mecha? Are you abandoning yours like you abandoned the Marshal?" in a yful tone.

    Chapter 112: Second World: A Date With A Zerg


    "Haha, no just felt like hugging something," he said while nervouslyughing looking around for his spoilt mecha that was crying like a child abandoned by its mother.


    The bright yellow mecha stood taut with a stance that seemed to say ''l am angry'' but Wen Qinxi didn''t care dashing over to coax his mecha while touching it all over as though eating tofu. Being treated like this, the mecha AI was appeased joyous yelling, "Mummy still loves me," but Wen Qinxi''s body tensed up being called mummy by a thing.


    ''Whose your fuckin mummy? Daddy sounds better,'' he thought with a brimming smile on his face desperate to take this mecha out for a spin.


    "Prof, can l take it home?" he yelled from the cockpit wishing he could just go into the simtor and have a go but his bubble soon burst at the professor''s response,


    "Not done with the upgrade besides don''t you have a date with a zerg?"


    "Stupid fuckin zerg," thought Wen Qinxi reluctantly getting out of his precious mecha. He couldn''t help but want to beat the zerg to death. Can''t a man just enjoy his mecha in peace?


    Without wasting time, he stomped to the interrogation room where the zerg was strapped in like a patient in the psycho ward. The captain was standing outside observing the zerg through the two-way mirror lost in thought. She just couldn''t understand how three zergs could make it past several security measures and end up in the heart of Valim. It was impossible unless the creatures had inside help but who would willingly jeopardize his own people''s safety?


    "Captain Rueda, what''s on your mind?" asked Wen Qinxi drawing the brooding captain back to earth.


    She tossed a chip at Zhao Xieshu saying, "The DNA target for the zerg was set for the Marshal, this was an assassination attempt. Can you get him to talk," with real concern. Though she had deserted the fleet she had mad respect for the Marshal and this situation was totally uneptable. "I know you two aren''t getting along but I am sure you can understand the importance of the Marshal," she said with a pensive look all over her face.


    Wen Qinxi smiled and tossed the chip back saying, "Don''t worry l won''t let personal issues affect my judgement," he said before walking into the interrogation room.


    The zerg suddenly opened its eyes sensing that familiar scent and quietly watched him pacing into the room. Wen Qinxi didn''t say anything with the room brimming with still silence. The impatient zerg finally spoke, "Are you going to torture me now?" expecting the handsome terrain to take out some kind of torture device. Both races were known to be vicious to each other when captured, it was no secret that the zerg tore the heads of Valim prisoners while the Valim army dissected captured zerg.


    "Well, no I am not. You see, I already know who sent you on the premise of exacting revenge on the UPSF fleet by cutting off its head," said Wen Qinxizily leaning against the wall. The zerg didn''t react to his words possibly thinking it was just a bluff.


    "Let me guess, they caught you and gave you this proposition to help you revenge for all your fallen brothers?..... Huh, l bet they forgot to mention what UPSF fleet would do to your dwindling poption once you sessfully killed the Marshal?" he said feeling pity for this cannon fodder who had been used to aplish someone else''s greedy desires. Actually, the zerg in this territory weren''t natives of thisary system. They were a shunned race that crossed gxies running away from their stronger counterparts who sought to eliminate the weaker zerg. Somehow this so-called weaker zerg race ended up here wreaking havoc.


    Though few in numbers they still harboured the same conquering culture of their mother nation. It was only because of their numbers, that they were easily suppressed by the UPSF fleet confining them to a deste.


    "Let me tell you something. If you seeded in killing the Marshal it would have been the end of your entire race," he said with a terrifying smile that instigated a reaction from the zerg.


    "So l should let you vile terrains kill my people with no retaliation?" it said looking away not interested in gazing at this enchanting terrain who was as fierce as the overloads in its former race.


    Wen Qinxi walked over and faced the zerg that was hiding from him. With bright sincere eyes, he said, "I will protect you as long as you keep your hands off the Marshal. You want to live in peace then l am your solution."


    The zerg peered at him for a while before saying, "You must love your Marshal so much. I envy him," with envy gleaming its creepy yellow eyes.


    "Hahaha, no.....lets not fuckin go there," replied Wen Qinxi with a light chortle.


    No one knew what the rest of the zerg and omega''s conversation entailed of but they seemed toe up with a mutual understanding before Wen Qinxi released the zerg providing it with a personal escort off Valim. This zerg race was vital in saving Qie Ranzhe from the inevitable ident caused by Emperor Zhao in the future which is why Wen Qinxi formed an alliance with it against his team''s advisement.


    ***


    While Wen Qinxi was letting go of the zerg, the emperor was throwing an angry fit in the pce. His n had been foiled by a ghost, a shadow he had never seen let alone heard of. This Marshal had to fall one way or the other but how to achieve that? He had absolutely no idea especially with this ghost organization screwing with him.


    "Find this man who dared to go against me," he angrily said throwing his crown on the floor.


    The cloaked man who hade to report today''s events sighed while walking away thinking, "I don''t get paid enough to deal with this shit."

 Chapter 113: Second World: Sweet Confession From A Cutie

    Chapter 113: Second World: Sweet Confession From A Cutie


    Wen Qinxi was forcibly dragged out of hibernation by the constant notifications pinging on hismunicator. "Ah, why the fuck," he swore with only his dishevelled hair peeping out of the quilt. Hezily stretched his right hand out of the quilt feeling around for that irritating thing making ping noises.But before he could even find it, Jolie spoke up first.


    "It''s the Empress, she wants you to get ready and join the dinner party. Boss you have to wake up as the Marshal will be attending as well," said the system wishing it could push him out of bed.


    After a minute of no movement, Wen Qinxi suddenly peeked his head out of the quilt with lidded eyes and pouty lips. "Why should l go when l am not part of their family? Won''t I be setting myself up for trouble? Plus after that embarrassing Livestream how do you think this dinner will end?" he said looking for excuses. The Emperor and Empress had made their cute family of five with Zhao Lazhie, Zhao Tiazhi and Zhao Huangzhi excluding him from family time so why the instance this time?


    "Firstly, if you don''t go, you will surely be setting yourself up for trouble. Secondly, you are so thick-skinned and y-" said the system trying to make a point but it was cut off by Wen Qinxi.


    "Okay, okay l get it. I will go if you let me pat your head, you are just too cute," said Wen Qinxi reaching out but the system dodged yelling,


    "Cute is for fuckin puppies!"


    Wen Qinxi chuckled as he got up saying, "So cheeky," beforenguidly ambling to the bathroom. Ever since he entered this character''s body he easily got tired and slept a lot which was concerning but there was nothing he could do to change it as it was an unfortunate omega pre-set.


    After dragging his sluggish body around for an hour, he emerged out of the pavilion looking like a lethargic beauty but was jostled awake as though struck by lightning when he saw a short person standing by his door with expectant doe-eyes. Confused, he scanned around and nced back at the little girl then looked around again.


    "You ar-," he said but she suddenly spoke.


    "I saw your Livestream a few days ago," she said with her hands behind her back as though hiding something.


    ''Jolie, who is this cute minion?'' he curiously asked the system unable to recall who this person was.


    ''It''s Qie Sunxie, Qie Ranzhe''s little alpha sister,'' said the system whileparing who between them looked cuter.


    Almost dying of cuteness overload he said, "Qie Sunxie you shouldn''t have watched it. I....um....used a lot of bad words in that Livestream," whispering thest part while partially covering his mouth with a mobile expression.


    "No need to worry. Mother censored mymunicator so whenever you said a bad word it was reced with a beeping sound. Oh, please call me Su or Su Su as everyone else does," she proudly said while tucking away a loose strand of hair behind her ear.


    "Alright, Su. It''s a pleasure to meet you," he said as he shook hands with the cute dumpling.


    Qie Sunxie suddenly revealed what she had been hiding behind her back with a radiant smile. A pink heart-shaped origami while saying, "You said in the Livestream that you were interested in dating a girl alpha so Prince Xieshu will you be my omega?" with a sincere tone that would make one think her very survival was dependent on Zhao Xieshu''s answer.


    Wen Qinxi almost coughed out a mouthful of blood. What kind of situation was this? A kid twelve years his junior had confessed to him and on top of that, she was Qie Ranzhe''s sister. Wen Qinxi didn''tugh crouching down to her height instead before exining.


    "I appreciate that you like me but if l say yes to you l am afraid l will be taken to jail in a matter of seconds. Even the prince title won''t be able to save me," he said while pinching those cute little cheeks. Looking downhearted, Qie Sunxie drooped her head while nervously pursing her lips.


    "Then, if you still haven''t found your alpha in eight years l will be sixteen and can legally be your alpha," she said in a stern tone that made Wen Qinxi smile.


    "Deal," he said making a pinkie promise, "would you like to hitch a ride to the banquet hall?"


    Qie Sunxie''s lips arched in a bright smile while stretching her hands towards him. Web Qinxi ced the origami in his pocket before reaching out and carrying the mini version of Qie Ranzhe to the banquet hall. "You smell nice," said Qie Sunxie with her arms draped around Wen Qinxi''s neck gazing at with innocent fascinated, "l love your blonde hair."


    Wen Qinxi couldn''t help but feel his insides melt, this kid was just too cute. "Thank you."


    They soon arrived at the banquet hall with everyone already seated with the exception of the Emperor and Empress. Qie Ranzhe was already sitting next to Zhao Huangzhi whispering to each other in an ambiguous manner making Wen Qinxi''s heart rise up to his throat but he swallowed it down urging Qie Sunxie to go sit next to her mother.Mama Qie''s eyes bore into him making Wen Qinxi feel nervous vanquish thepulsion to run.


    "Su, would you like toe and sit next to me?" asked an enthusiastic Zhao Huangzhi tapping the seat next to her with a brilliant smile but who knew Qie Sunxie wouldn''t save her face saying,


    "No, l want to sit next to Xie Xie and don''t call me Su."


    Qie Ranzhe who had been avoiding Zhao Xieshu''s line of sight suddenly raised his head coincidently locking eye contact with him. Zhao Xieshu immediately withdrew his gaze but Qie Ranzhe''s heart was already in chaotic. He nervously bit his lower lip wondering if Zhao Xieshu was still angry with him as this was the first time they had met ever since the Livestream incident. He was about to take his eyes off Zhao Xieshu when he saw his sister pull out a chair for Zhao Xieshu despite the prince''s countless refusal. Mama Qie didn''t even interject asionally stealing nces at Zhao Xieshu in an obvious daze that her husband had to shake her thigh under the table while scolding her, "Stop staring."


    Wen Qinxi gave up trying to convince the kid and sat down but a new problem arose when it came to pushing the chair in. She eagerly pushed but the chair was just too heavy. The Zhao family boys couldn''t help butugh at this scene. A pained Qie Ranzhe couldn''t watch anymore and stood up to help his sister push the chair in but who knew his hand would get smacked the next minute. "No, he''s mine," said Qie Sunxie before pushing her brother away.


    Wen Qinxi didn''t know whether tough or cry coaxing Qie Sunxie to let him push in the chair himself. Only then did the two siblings sit in their respective seats giving each other intimidating res with neither of them willing to back down.


    "Ai.....our family''s Xie Xie is so charming even attracting kids now," said Zhao Lazhie whileughing with his younger brother Zhao Tiazhi but the omega half-brother of his gave him the middle finger right in front of everyone making hisughter instantly die down with an expression that seemed to say ''I will make you fuckin pay'' but Wen Qinxi didn''t seem to care.

 Chapter 114: Second World: Offer The Omega A Place To Stay

    Chapter 114: Second World: Offer The Omega A ce To Stay


    Qie Ranzhe saw this and couldn''t stop his lips curling up in a smile repressing a chuckle but Zhao Huangzhi sitting beside him thought he was pleased with what she had been saying a couple of minutes ago which made her so happy that she interlocked her arm with his.


    Qie Ranzhe was about to reprimand her to watch herself when the royal couple finally made their appearance. The emperor gave her daughter a deadly stare when he saw her arm around the Marshal''s. Like a puppy afraid of its master she retracted her hand with her tail folded in between her legs.


    Dinner was soon served as the two families harmoniously shared a meal together. While eating Qie Sunxie stretched her hand reaching out for some spicy crayfish but Papa Qie instantly reprimanded her. "Su Su no, you are allergic to that," he said about to stand up and stop her from eating it but Qie Sunxie shook her head saying,


    "It''s not for me. It''s Xie Xie''s favourite," while cing it into Zhao Xieshu''s bowl with a radiant smile. Lucky for them most people were engrossed in their own conversations but Qie Ranzhe paused his chopsticks mid-air stupefied by his sister''s behaviour. He vowed to have a proper discussion with herter.


    Wen Qinxi warmly smiled saying, "Thank you." He had been cing food in the kid''s bowl but he didn''t think she would mimic his behaviour and do the same for him. ''What a cute well-behaved child,'' he said to the system but the system humphed saying, ''I am definitely cuter.''


    "Ahem.....Ran-er will be hosting a Valim armory convention in the sixth soon. Will the two princes be going?" said Mama Qie stirring up a subject on weapons to judge Zhao Xieshu''s reaction. She was subtle in her behavior but Qie Ranzhe noticed her odd behaviour questioning it within. ''Why is she looking at Zhao Xieshu?'' he thought but he was soon distracted when Prince Lazhie and Prince Tiazhi roped into a conversation about the new mecha design for the fleet which Wen Qinxi just wanted to tsk at their inferior specs. Seeing no reaction from Zhao Xieshu, Mama Qie took it a step futher asking, "How about pistols? Anything interesting?"


    Everyone paused their actions awkwardly staring at Mama Qie who had suddenly taken interest in weapons. Even Wen Qinxi side-eyed Mama Qie wandering if she suspected something. It was at this crucial moment he recalled something important. ''Fuck! I gave the retired Marshal my pistol but didn''t take it back,'' he thought nervously rubbing his index finger with his thumb in full view of Mama Qie. The older omega looked away with a satisfied smile.


    ''This omega just got a whole lot interesting,'' she thought as she resumed to eat nonchntly as though this had nothing to do with her.


    Wen Qinxi felt like he was sitting on pins and needles as he desperately wanted to make a phone call. He excused himself and took random turns till he reached the entertainment room. Securing the door behind him, he immediately called Xiao Hua with beads of cold sweat forming on his forehead. That pistol had to self detonate otherwise that father and pair son would figure out his secret.


    Xiao Hua epted the video call with his pink hair looking so scruffy you would think it was a bird''s nest. "Why are you calling me during my nap time?" he said while scratching his head yawning.


    "Can you deactivate one of the pistols? l just sent you the serial number?" he said skipping all pleasantries in a panic.


    "Mn," replied Xiao Hua fiddling with hismunicator before saying, "done." This n would have worked but the person currently in possession of that weapon was a clever Weasel who had already counteracted a forced self-detonation but the two omegas didn''t know that.


    Heaving a sigh of relief, Wen Qinxi conversed with him a little longer before disconnecting the video call. A bored Wen Qinxi decided it was in his best interest to y with the game like mecha simtor in the entertainment room as he didn''t feel like going back to that suffocating dinner table. His hands were itching to give it a go so without any hesitation he jumped in and logged in to the preexisting profile ying to his heart''s content.


    He was too engaged in simtedbat that he didn''t hear the group of youngsters joyously strolling into the entertainment room. The adults had some business to discover so they dismissed all the youngsters who decided to hang out in the entertainment room. Who would have thought they would walk in to find an announcement that MightyZhie,Prince Lazhie''s profile had broken his pre-existing record.


    Puzzled, the two princes walked over just as Zhao Xieshu exited the simtor with a satisfied look on his face. "What the fuck? Did you use cheats or something?" said a pissed off Zhao Lazhie feeling disrespected. Not only did the omega beat his record, he also used his profile to do it. Each time he will log in that high score will be mocking him till he breaks it.Clenching his fists he moved forward in an intimidating stance while aggressively releasing some of his alpha pheromones with eyes as dark as the deepest depth of the sea.


    If Wen Qinxi said he wasn''t affected he did be lying but his suppressants were engineered by Meng Bianfu, the genius omega which helped him stand his ground. The most affected was Zhao Huangzhi leaning against Qie Ranzhe like a wounded animal. Qie Ranzhe settled her down while reprimanding Prince Lazhie saying, "Your Highness, that''s enough!" before turning on the pheromone suction system in the room.


    Though unwilling, the prince immediately calmed down as he feared Qie Ranzhe''s strength. The prince was more terrified of the Marshal than his own father. "You are so fuckin lucky he was here," said Zhao Lazhie angrily pointing at Zhao Xieshu as he withdrew.


    Wen Qinxi sneered saying, "Or what? You were going to beat me up?" These two brothers though not as extreme as Emperor Zhao, they ceaselessly bullied their older half brother whenever the opportunity arose. In high school, they took advantage of Zhao Xieshu''s feelings for Qie Ranzhe luring him to the gym and locked him up all night in the alpha locker room. That extreme alpha scent emanating from the sweaty lockers almost drove Zhao Xieshu insane but thankfully he survived the night and had his suppressant re-designed after that horrible experience.


    "You think l am like that inebriated Youhuo Zhe that you could easily subdue? You must be fuckin joking!" he said getting worked up all over again.


    Wen Qinxi scoffed, it was about time he taught these two brats a lesson and wound their pompous alpha pride. "How about this, give me Tiazhi''s simtor profile. Whoever has the highest score wins. If l win the both of from now on will call me Dage," he saidzily folding his arms across his chest.


    Prince Lazhie easily agreed with a confidant smile saying, "Sure, If you lose then find somewhere else to stay and leave the pce."


    Qie Ranzhe couldn''t stand it anymore pacing over to stop them but Zhao Huangzhi shamelessly clung to his arm beckoning him to stay with a pitiable expression. The Marshal gazed at the confident omega his heart full of worries. He had already wronged Zhao Xieshu plenty of times and wanted to make up for it. If Zhao Xieshu lost today, he would offer him a ce to stay, that way he could repay him for years of torment.

 Chapter 115: Second World: Scum Brothers Losing Face

    Chapter 115: Second World: Scum Brothers Losing Face


    The two half-brothers one alpha one omega logged into the simtor ready for war but the battle onlysted fifteen minutes with Zhao Lazhie being ruthlessly suppressed time and time again. Wen Qinxi knew this brat had nothing on him and just like the underdog in a sports series he emerged victorious stunning the entire audience. Prince Lazhie was just too naive thinking this omega had used some form of cheat causing him to arrogantly approach the game underestimating his opponent.


    Today was the day that the scum brothers lost face in front of the Marshal. Wen Qinxi got out of the simtor with a sly grin patiently awaiting his prize. That unsightly grin brought about a sense of panic in Prince Lazhie, he didn''t want to call Zhao Xieshu older brother but a bet is a bet.


    "Da-.....ah l can''t say it," he whined looking so defeated.


    "Come on, l don''t have all day," said Wen Qinxi enjoying the sweet taste of victory. None of them had ever called him older brother constantly addressing him as Xieshu this Xieshu that with no ounce of respect and now they were forced to say it. Qie Ranzhe''s heart settled as he sat down on the couch enjoying a good show. He had never noticed Zhao Xieshu''s interesting personality despiting having known him since childhood or maybe he was too blinded by the irritation of the prince''s constant pursuit of him making him unable to grasp Zhao Xieshu''s good points.


    The veil covering his eyes had finally been lifted unable to resist the impulse to watch Zhao Xieshu''s actions with genuine fascination. Zhao Huangzhi sitting next to the Marshal couldn''t help but feel neglected, wondering how Zhao Xieshu could be so good at this game her stupid brothers used to train. She was undoubtedly seething with jealousy.


    "Ran-ge, can you teach me how to use the simtor," she said in simpering tone rubbing his arm with her palm. Qie Ranzhe''s attention was partially caught as he nced over saying, "I don''t have time but l will look for someone to teach you."


    Zhao Huangzhi''s eyes drooped seeming too piteous whining, "Ran-ge, you barely spend time with me these days. I know you are busy but you used to make time for me even if it was only for a short time l cherished it.


    Qie Ranzhe finally held her gaze though curious to know how Zhao Xieshu and Zhao Lazhie''s disagreement would end. "I am not promising anything but l will try," he said with a meaningful expression just as Zhao Xieshu said,


    "Even Xie-<em>dage</em>will do just fine. Come now, l don''t have all day,"zily crossing his arms over his chest.


    Both boys finally yield muttering while gritting their teeth, "Xie-<em>dage."</em>


    "Sorry can you say that again," he said leaning his ear close pretending not to have heard them.


    "Xie-<em>dage</em>!" they reiterated a little louder this time.


    Satisfied, Wen Qinxi reached out pattingZhao Lazhie''s head saying, "Good boy," before strolling away with a beaming smile.


    ''Boss, didn''t you go too far patting his head like that? He looks angry,'' asked the system judging from Zhao Lazhie''s flustered face.


    ''Just like a puppy, he needs to be trained otherwise he will run rampant,'' replied Wen Qinxi heading for the exit but soon halted his steps when he saw a little cute dumpling blocking his path with a priceless smile.


    She came out of nowhere, appearing like a ghost saying, "Xie Xie, l am leaving. I came to say goodbye," but as soon as she said that the two boys behind Zhao Xieshu mumbled inaudibleints about the little girl not being respectful but the re he gave them instantly shut them up. That omega''s poisonous ck eyes were extremely terrifying frightening the two alphas.


    Wen Qinxi reached out and hugged the little alpha saying his goodbyes, the kind of warm embrace that made Qie Ranzhe a little envious averting his gaze from such a sweet scene that left a sour taste in his mouth.


    Qie Sunxie walked past his brother with a snare, "My omega is so much cooler than yours," before sticking out her tongue and running off.


    "He not yo-," he said before swallowing down his words, "never mind."


    Zhao Huangzhi felt a painful twist in her gut hearing that little brat praise Zhao Xieshu. This script was all wrong, she was the nice sweet omega that everyone loved but failed to fool this little alpha girl. Qie Sunxie was really troublesome. "She doesn''t like me much," whined Zhao Huangzhi seemingly wounded but secretly hopped Qie Ranzhe would reprimand her but his next sentence proved it futile.


    "Don''t take it personally, she doesn''t even like me," he said noticing Zhao Xieshu walking out without even a goodbye.


    Qie Ranzhe wanted to follow after him and clear things between them but couldn''t. In order not to seem too obvious he lingered a little longer impatiently trying to get rid of Zhao Huangzhi. The clingy omega finally left due to her mother''s order thus the Marshal dashed towards prince Xieshu''s pavilion hoping to catch up with him. He did in fact catch up with Zhao Xieshu who seemed to be leisurely strolling towards his ce of residence.


    He reached out and held his elbow calling out, "Xie Xie can we talk?"


    Startled, Wen Qinxi instinctively threw a punch at the person who had snuck up on him. Naturally, his arm was caught by Qie Ranzhe who praised him for having good reflexes with an enchanting smile. Wen Qinxi creased his brows in confusion as to why Qie Ranzhe was here. ''Why the fuck would this guy follow me here?'' he thought with his gaze fixed on the hyperactive Qie Ranzhe.


    "What no-," he asked in annoyance that he was being touched with the same hand Zhao Huangzhi was constantly touching all throughout dinner and in the entertainment room. Wasn''t Zhao Huangzhi enough? He noticed they had clung to each other during and after dinner so what did Qie Ranzhe want from him?

 Chapter 116: Second World: Alpha Siblings At War

    Chapter 116: Second World: Alpha Siblings At War


    Wen Qinxi''s statement was cut off when Qie Ranzhe pulled him into the dark when he heard voicesing their way. Being pinned against the wall by Qie Ranzhe, Wen Qinxi could barely breathe staring at those lips that had engaged with his in a passionate battle in the first world. Memories of the hot sweet taste that he only got to sample once made him unconsciously lean forward but his mind soon returned as a warning trigger set off in that vignt brain off his.


    He pushed away Qie Ranzhe who was preupied checking if the people were gone. Being alone with an omega was considered uneptable Qie Ranzhe had no other choice. He wanted to talk to him but what he wanted to say was for Zhao Xieshu''s ears only.


    An embarrassed Qie Ranzhe sincerely apologized while creating some distance between them. "Marshal you should seriously consider my reputation. I still need to look for a partner, you know?" said Wen Qinxi as his heart slowly calmed down. He couldn''t believe the passionate feelings from the first world had followed him in this world finding himself craving for that addictive, intoxicating sensation.


    Qie Ranzhe seemed disturbed by what he said but didn''t dare speak his mind. "I thought you already had a lover from the bruisesst time," he said with a flicker in his eye. In the Livestream, he had stated that he was single but Qie Ranzhe didn''t believe it. Other than during a love spurt who else would dare hurt the omega who was also a prince at that.


    "Remember not everything is what it seems," he said gently patting Qie Ranzhe''s cheek before pacing away.


    Qie Ranzhe was left standing in a stupor with the lingering warmth from being touched by Zhao Xieshu gradually fading away. He found himself smiling foolishly in the dark while staring at the disappearing figure. Something simr to a fluffy sweet feeling taking root within but he didn''t even notice.


    ***


    The entire Qie family travelled home together but for the first time in history, the two siblings were at odds with each other engaged in a cold war despite their age difference. Qie Ranzhe was trying to reprimand his sister for her weird behaviour towards the prince but Mama Qie was well-versed when it came to these things. She could sense a tinge of vinegar from a mile away but chose to say nothing watching the twenty-three-year-old have it out with an eight-year-old.


    "He doesn''t like you anymore so what''s your problem? Why can''t I pursue him?" she said in a childish voice and an adorable darkly expression. She looked so cute ring at her brother with ice-cold hatred.


    Qie Ranzhe massaged in between his brow exhausted with this conversation that had been going on for five minutes straight. "You are just a kid. Seriously, don''t you see anything wrong with pursuing him?"


    "He doesn''t like you anymore so get with program Dage," said Qie Sunxie opening the door just as the car reached the Qie Mansion. The young miss stomped into the house fuming with anger.


    Qie Ranzhe immediately followed behind yelling after her. "Who says he doesn''t like me anymore!" but Qie Sunxie responded by closing her bedroom door upstairs with a loud bang. Only then did he realize that his mother wasn''t trash-talking Zhao Xieshu whilemending Zhao Huangzhi as usual. Whenever the omega prince came up she always said a mouthful but today there was not even a single peep from her which he had to admit was a little suspicious.


    The couple wordlessly sat down as the bot butler brought over a tray serving a highly fragranced tea. Qie Ranzhe initially wanted to go upstairs and rest but his father beckoned him to join them. He reluctantly sat down opposite his parents patiently waiting for them to bring up their favourite subject, ''marriage and grandchildren''.


    "Mother, what was with you today staring at Zhao Xieshu all night like that? Did something happen?" he curiously asked while taking a sip of his tea.


    Mama Qie didn''t respond so Papa Qie had to respond on her behalf. "Your mother things Zhao Xieshu was the one who rescued us from the zerg. That is why she''s been acting weirdtely," he said pouring some more tea for his wife.


    Qie Ranzhe couldn''t help butugh out loud in disbelief. How can Zhao Xieshu take down three zerg by himself? He''s the most harmless person Qie Ranzhe knows plus the prince was confined in his pavilion as punishment and didn''t step out of his pavilion till the dinner tonight. "You must have got it wrong. Why do you think it was him?" he said as hisughter slowly died down.


    Mama Qie didn''t me him if she wasn''t sure herself she would have found it quiteughable as well but it was true. That party freak of an omega was concealing his true strength and with good reason. If the emperor caught wind of his abilities he would be forced byw to imprison and re-educate his own son with no guarantee of release. An omega''s job was to have babies improving the poption demographics of Valim and support his or her alpha with absolutely no hand in the army or politics. This the society they were currently living in.


    As Mama Qie his mother exined her reasoning, Qie Ranzhe''s smile stiffened with his face looking somewhat unnatural. He downed the rest of his tea that had long since turned cold wishing he could have something stronger. He immediately stood up and made a short call to Machu asking him to scan through footage within a twenty-five-foot radius around the mall for Zhao Xieshu secretly hoping his mother got it wrong. How can Zhao Xieshu subject himself to such dangerous situations? It didn''t make any sense to him.


    ***


    While Qie Ranzhe was secretly investigating him an unsuspecting Wen Qinxi and his team had a major a breakthrough. Debry from the missing pilgrimage spaceship that went in search for the rich in Xianore under his mother''s supervision had somehow surfaced on a small deste in an unchartered part of the universe.

 Chapter 117: Second World: Omegas Secret Unveiled

    Chapter 117: Second World: Omega''s Secret Unveiled


    The overly excited omega team didn''t waste time setting off to explore in their unparalleled warship leaving behind the professor to take care of the base. In just under a week they arrived at the cold silent part of the gxy that many had no interest in exploring. The peach-like coloured a third the size of Valim was rotating on its tilted axis like a lonely diety.


    "So pretty," said Teng with watery eyes glued to the window fascinated by the tiny.


    Tong who was slouching like a salted fish on thefy seat ignored his twin while sighing in boredom. He was about to stand up and bother Hauidan when the alert system went off. Their warship was suddenly surrounded by pirate ships prompting the twins to rush towards the spaceship bridge.


    Wen Qinxi was currently leaning forward with his hands on themunication control panel pondering on whether to ept themunication request from the pirate mothership or just blow their fleet up and be rid of them. "Answer it," he said to Xiao Hua as he turned his back against the once viewscreen turning ck before a handsome long-haired beta appeared on the screen with a smirk on his face. Behind him were his crew members peeking at the screen to see what precious treasure they had stumbled upon. They had just plundered a passenger starship moments ago and now they had bumped into an expensive spaceship as soon as they came out of warp speed.


    Seeing gorgeous faces the captain Haidao of the infamous Outset pirate organisation was ted as he spoke, "Well, well, well, too short to be alphas yet too delicate to be betas. This must be a spaceship full of omegas. This, l find interesting," with an ominous grin.


    Xiao Hua frowned in disgust with a stern face. "State your business or piss off," he said but the pirate was even more amused with a sinister grin saying,


    "Ah, pinky l can''t wait to have you beg for mercy right under me. How about you give in to me now so we can ride into the sunset together like Bonnie and Clyde?" giving the omega dirty looks thinking he will be terrified into submission. The pirate was entirely focused on the pink-haired omega that he didn''t notice Wen Qinxi fiddling with weapon system before fired an azureser beam at one of the pirate spaceships shutting effectively shutting up the disgusting pervert.


    He suddenly turned around facing the livid pirate captain with a fierce re but as soon as the pirate saw Zhao Xieshu''s face his anger abruptly dissipated turning smitten in an instant. "I am giving you three seconds to disappear otherwise the next ship l will blow a hole into is yours," pointing at the captain Haidao on the viewscreen.


    "My apologies for being rude, my name i-," he said but Huaidan suddenly fired a sma cannon at another of the pirate spaceships saying, "Opps my hand slipped," with an innocent expression.


    Wen Qinxi titled his head with an arrogant expression saying, "Sorry omegas have itchy trigger fingers," with sharp eyes that seemed to say ''if you don''t piss off I am going to blow up your shit''.


    "Okay, okay, l am leaving but may you please tell me your name," said captain Haidan cutting his loses but in truth he was mesmerised by that omega that seemed to be in charge.


    "Three seconds are up," said Wen Qinxi with his fingertip dangling above the fire button.


    "Okay I am leaving but will surely meet again," said the captain before his warships vanished one by one.


    A few light-years away, Qie Ranzhe was on his way to the armoury convention when one of his subordinates intercepted a distress call in route. The emergency transmission was broadcasted from a passenger starship that had been hijacked by Outset pirates. Qie Ranzhe sent out an order to provide assistance but when he got there the passengers had already been rescued by another space warship part of their UPSF fleet.


    He made a decision to go after the Outset pirate mothership this rice weevil that sponged on other''s hard work hoping to finally subdue this troublesome group of ravagers. Just as they located the Outset pirate mothership they activated warp speed chasing after them. Qie Ranzhe was suddenly dragged out of the captain''s chair by Machu who was wordlessly leading him to the transmission room. He secured the room making sure no one would overhear their conversation.


    "Ran-ge l have something l want you to listen to. We identally intercepted this transmission and I am fairly certain you would be interested in listening to it," said a nervous Machu before tapping the screen with trembling hands. Qie Ranzhe''s brows creased deeper and deeper as the recording progressed. The transmission recording went as follows:


    Voice 1: Will you stop calling me mummy. I can tolerate you calling me dad at least


    Artificial Intelligence: Okay but when will l meet daddy Marshal


    Voice 2: Hahaha, sorry Meng Huangse (cute yellow) your dad dumped daddy Marshal.


    Voice 3: You should stop messing around, you have almost reached the gravitational pull of the


    Voice 1: I know, I know. Hua Hua, stop misleading my Meng Huangse. He''s extremely sensitive. Dad will get you a new daddy


    Artificial Intelligence: Okay


    Voice 4: l already set a date for you with that celebrity girl alpha. She can''t wait to press you down and make cute dumplings


    Voice 1: Making me blush over here... Alright, justnded safely. Fuck, this is too peachy.


    Voice 5: Ha! Was that supposed to be a joke? Xie Xie, you can too better


    Voice 1: Piss off


    There was more but the Marshal couldn''t listen anymore. His entire body was taunted, his face pale as he pressed down on themunication panel addressing the flight crew in the space warship. "Change course, star coordinates 637825837," he ordered while striding to the hangar transforming his mecha into a starship impatiently waiting for them to reach the coordinates.

 Chapter 118: Second World: Holding Hands With An Alpha

    Chapter 118: Second World: Holding Hands With An Alpha


    Just as the space warship came out of warp speed, Qie Ranzhe didn''t even wait a second beforeunching his mecha known as Night Saber heading towards the peach coloured. Night Saber transformed itself from a spaceship to a mecha mid-airnding on the ground with a loud bang creating clouds of dust and a huge dent in the hard soil that had never been disturbed for millions of years.


    Qie Ranzhe scanned for signs of life on the with bloodshot eyes and his chest violently heaving up and down. To his disappointment, Zhao Xieshu was nowhere in sight. What he didn''t know was that Zhao Xieshu had already left with his bounty a few minutes ago. Qie Ranzhe wandered around searching for the omega but there was no sign of him except a few mecha track marks on the soil.


    "Ran-ge! Ran-ge!" yelled Machu through themunicator but Qie Ranzhe didn''t respond, "Is there any sign of him?"


    Qie Ranzhe crouched down in his mecha as his trembling fingertip brushed against the track marks left behind by the mecha that most likely belonged to Zhao Xieshu. "No but he was definitely here," said Qie Ranzhe with a surge of mixed emotions roaring up like waves in his chest.


    "There is space debris from two blown up spaceships. Judging from their insignia they were part of the Outset pirate spaceships. Whatever spaceship it was the Outset mothership wouldn''t have been able to sustain that kind of massive power. Marshal what are yourmands?" he asked with his dark eyes brimming with concern. In all the years he had known Qie Ranzhe he had never seen him this defeated with his brow furrowed as his mouth turned grim. Zhao Xieshu had surely earned the title of an omega worthy of the Marshal.


    "Go back to Valim," he said in an overly impassive manner.


    "And the convention?" asked Machu while issuingmands to his subordinates.


    "To hell with it," he said as the vantack mechaunched back to space while converting itself into a spaceship seeming as overbearing as its owner. Machu instantly shut his mouth secretly lighting a candle for Zhao Xieshu the omega who had managed to stir enough trouble to force the Marshal to abandon the Armory convention.


    "Ran-ge, how are you going to deal with this?" he curiously asked wondering how Qie Ranzhe nned to handle this situation. As expected, Qie Ranzhe''s response was as he predicted. "Follow him," said Qie Ranzhe as he reached the space warship that was preparing to go into warp speed.


    Qie Ranzhe really kept his word. As soon as he returned to Valim he had people on a stake-out watching Zhao Xieshu but the prince made no move for two days straight not stepping a single foot out of his pavilion. That is until the third day when he was spotted on surveince camera casually exiting a barbershop heading for a small Cafe. But what grasped Qie Ranzhe''s attention was that there was no footage of Zhao Xieshu leaving the pavilion, the prince seemed to have appeared out of the thin air. It seemed suspicious unless Zhao Xieshu could be in two ces at once. Qie Ranzhe found this intriguing intending to pry answers out of Zhao Xieshu once he got his hands on him.


    An oblivious Wen Qinxi ambled into the cafe to meet Nubile Gypsy a popr actress with so many awards attached to her name. The girl alpha was famous for being aggressive on camera but sweet in person. When he meandered into the Cafe, she had already ordered a tentra size iced vanitte for him and to top it all off it was his favourite. "Xie Xie, l didn''t think you woulde," she said with an enchanting smile.


    Wen Qinxi sat opposite her saying, "Not many alphas and betas can easily ept my kind of lifestyle. The fact that you are willing to see me means a lot to me so of course, l woulde," while carefully scrutinizing her. She was as tall as an average alpha with a gorgeous face thoughgging behind the Marshal but it didn''t matter to him.


    "This is for you," she said passing the cup over to him but as Wen Qinxi reached over their fingertips identally touched. Nubile Gypsy lowered her eyes with a flirty smile her gaze fixed on his tempting lips. She was obviously affected by this omega but Wen Qinxi seemed unfazed barely taking notice of the ambiguous atmosphere.


    In that split second that their fingertips touched, the cafe door was suddenly swung open with Qie Ranzhe strolling in just to witness such a scene. The corner of his mouth twitched as he walked over suppressing his emotions saying, "Wow, I was just around the neighbourhood and didn''t expect to see such a harmonious scene."


    Wen Qinxi turned to look at him whilenguidly sipping histte through the straw before asking, "No such thing. Did you follow me here?"


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t respond sitting in between them before stretching out a hand t the famous Nubile Gypsy while introducing himself, "Hello, I am Qie Ranzhe. It''s a pleasure to meet you."


    Nubile Gypsy extended her hand to shake his in a stupor. Of course, she knew the Marshal and was apparently one of his fangirls but never had an opportunity to meet him in person. Staring fixedly at the dazzling Marshal, she stretched her hand thrilled to shake the hand of her hero but as their hands were about to touch, Wen Qinxi interjected with a drinking straw stuck between his moist lips. "No, don''t acknowledge him otherwise he will want to stay. He isn''t supposed to be here," with his brows knitted in a frown.


    "She''s not rude like you," he said and proceeded to shake her hand. His grip was tight and a little intermediating intentionally passing on a massage but his fangirl didn''t get the hint.


    "Who doesn''t know the Marshal. It''s an honour to meet you. You are my hero," she said with her hand lingering in the handshake her eyes full of admiration for the Marshal.

 Chapter 119: Second World: Holding Hands With An Alpha 2

    Chapter 119: Second World: Holding Hands With An Alpha 2


    Wen Qinxi sloughed back into his chair with his arms folded across his chestining, "Don''t praise him otherwise he won''t leave. Marshal didn''t youe to have some coffee. How about l buy you a cup, hell l will even add a lemon poppyseed muffin if it means you will get lost?"


    "No need, l am good with this one because l know you won''t finish it as usual," he said before grabbing Zhao Xieshu''s cup and sucked on the straw, his eyes fixed on the omega with a probing visual caress.


    ''Why the fuck is he flirting with me for?'' thought Wen Qinxi looking away but the tip of his ears sold him out.


    "Ah, it tastes so sweet," he said with amorous dark eyes that made Wen Qinxi''s heart race. "Here," said the Marshal cing the tentra cup back at its original position having harvested an indirect kiss but Wen Qinxi refused.


    "You are just trying to fuckin piss me off, don''t you?" sweeping the Marshal a sideway nce.


    Only then did Nubile Gypsy caught up with the situation, it seemed the Marshal wasn''t done with Prince Xieshu even when the prince was done with him. She excused herself saying, "l just recalled I have some urgent matters to attend to. Xie Xie why not call meter so we can do this again."


    Ridden with guilt Wen Qinxi apologized promising to give her a call before seeing her off. Once her figure disappeared he turned to re at the Marshal with chips of emerald ice emanating from his alluring eyes, "What do you want?"


    Now fully rxed Qie Ranzhe leaned in grabbing thee once more saying, "The coffee here is pretty good so l came to take a look. Who would have known I would find the prince holding hands with an alpha."


    "Its really none of your business. Now if there nothing else I will be leaving," said Wen Qinxi preparing to take his leave but Qie Ranzhe took another sip before saying in a soft yet tyrannical tone,


    "You going to want to sit down if you know what''s good for you," while tapping hismunicator to y audio ever so familiar to him.


    Wen Qinxi''s eyes widened in disbelief as he heard their conversation on the peach coloured ying from Qie Ranzhe''smunicator. "Shit!" he yelled as his flight response kicked it. All he could think of was run as far away as possible but he hadn''t even moved a distance of two-foot when he was caught by Qie Ranzhe restraining him from behind tightly embracing his waist in an ambiguous manner.


    "Where are you going, Xie Xie? We haven''t finished talking," he said while cuffing Zhao Xieshu''s wrists in front before letting him go.


    Wen Qinxi was in disbelief struggling to free his wrists from the cuffs but it was to no avail. "Marshal, don''t you think this is a bit excessive? If l walk out of here in cuffs it won''t be a good thing for the both of us. Take these off and l will willingly go with you," said Wen Qinxi trying to reason with him, his face flushed in anger with a few loose hair strands dangling above his left ear.


    "Don''t worry, this entire area belongs to you and me alone for the next ten minutes. Look even the barista left ages ago," he said while fiddling with hismunicator.


    ''Fuck!'' swore Wen Qinxi internally while nervously pursuing his lips. He decided to change his strategy and act pitiable, whatever it took to get the Marshal off his back. "Ah," he whined but Qie Ranzhe didn''t spare him a nce so he tried again, "ah, ah.....it''s too tight. It''s hurting my wrist. Ran-ge can you loosen it up for me?"


    Being called Ran-ge by Zhao Xieshu had his blood rushing forgetting even to breathe. He yearned for that form of address to escape Zhao Xieshu mouth once more as it was pleasant to the ear. He wanted to get him to say it again but this wasn''t the right time nor ce. He subconsciously gulped before saying, "You think l don''t know you aren''t as weak as you appear? Let''s go," dragging him out of the cafe before tossing him into the car parked out front.


    Wen Qinxi sneered at the Marshal while levelling a glowering look filled with cold hatred but Qie Ranzhe just smiled as the vehicle transported them to a secure location. If he had known teasing Zhao Xieshu was this fun he would have done it a long time ago. The prince was like a cute fierce bunny even when angry he still looked adorable.


    Wen Qinxi was led by the elbow into a deserted underground banker before being locked into a dull grey room with only a chair and table plus a two-way mirror. Qie Ranzhe left the room for barely two minutes when Wen Qinxi annoyingly started to call out to him. "Marshal, l want to pee!" then, "Qie Ranzhe, l am going to pee all over your fuckin room!" also, "Ran-ge! Ran-ge! I really have to go."


    In all this, the door didn''t show any signs of being opened so Wen Qinxi decided to act shamelessly. He stood up against the wall and pretended to unzip his pants with his back against the two-way mirror. His method proved effective as a livid Qie Ranzhe stormed in but was met with Zhao Xieshu''s resoundingughter.


    "Hahaha, that got you in here, didn''t it. Now stop wasting my time I have a lot of things to do," he said while lifting up his wrist, "but first remove these."


    Qie Ranzhe''s prating gaze probed at him while saying, "If l do that, you will attack me. I can see it in your eyes."


    "Ran-ge stop being unreasonable. Is this one of your sick fantasies or something? Is that why you insist on cuffing a weak omega?"


    Qie Ranzhe chuckled at the word weak before responding with a glint of fascination in his phoenix eyes. "Actually, it is. I am really enjoying this," he replied honestly but his honesty wasn''t appreciated.


    "Am d you are enjoying yourself but l am not," with a ck expression that could scare a ghost to death but it had no effect on this alpha who seemed to find it amusing. "I promise I won''t attack you. Just take them off."


    Qie Ranzhe hesitated for a minute but still reached out removing the cuffs but as soon as he did that, Zhao Xieshu kicked his shin under the table. "Fuck! You said you wouldn''t, you promised," he said wishing he could press down the omega and teach him some manners.


    Wen Qinxi''s lips quaked up saying, "I promised not to attack with my hands, not my foot. Now, what do you want to know?"


    The Marshal peered at him for a while as though trying to unmask this omega who had sessfully fooled the entire universe including himself. "Everything, l want to know everything."

 Chapter 120: Second World: I Will Go To War Fight For You And Win

    Chapter 120: Second World: I Will Go To War Fight For You And Win


    Wen Qinxi scoffed at the word everything, this naive Marshal actually thought he wouldply. He found it so funny that he chortled while looking away. Qie Ranzhe had been gazing at him this entire time thinking all sorts of things but seeing that handsome face quaver as he chuckled with the luminous rays reflecting off Zhao Xieshu''s pearl jade skin he suddenly had the urge to touch it and see if it felt as smooth as it looked. Unknowingly, Qie Ranzhe instinctively moved a little closer peering at Zhao Xieshu like he discovered something interesting.


    "Come now Marshal, you know l can''t do that. How can I possiblyy out all my cards on the table? Wouldn''t that be stupid of me?" replied Wen Qinxi courageously holding eye contact with him but his method backfired as his face gradually heated up forcing him to look away once more.


    Qie Ranzhe had so many questions he had prepared to ask Zhao Xieshu but at this moment his brain betrayed him instantly going nk. The well thought out orderly questions were thrown out of the window using a haphazard way of interrogating. "What is your purpose?" asked the Marshal leaning back into his chair giving Zhao Xieshu the eye.


    "My purpose is actually quite simple. Free omegas from these stupid backward rules. We can''t choose our gender when we are born so why should we be subjected to different rules from the rest. Whether l choose to start a family or join the fleet these choices should be in my hands not someone else," he said in a passionate sincere tone that undoubtedly moved the Marshal.


    Qie Ranzhe wasn''t extremely traditional and seriously gave a thought to Zhao Xieshu''s words. "Okay, I understand but how are you nning to achieve this?" It was a great dream but reality was ever so cruel. It might take decades to effect some change especially considering the poor poption demographics. If they wished to remain superior to other alien races they needed to improve their poption and omegas were the most fertile whenpared to betas. This is why plenty of omegas were givenpatible partners at sixteen by the Omega Association.


    Wen Qinxi leaned closer and slowly announced the word, "Xi-an-ore," cing his thumb on his lower lip which looked sensual no matter how you looked at it. "My mother sent out a pilgrimage spaceship seeking out this mineral but it was met with some misfortune on the way back. She passed away without bringing her dream to reality so it''s only my duty to continue where she left off."


    Qie Ranzhe felt a prickly pain in his chest while reaching out a hand tofort him but retracted it when the thought how inappropriate it would be to touch him. He had already done plenty of touching today which Zhao Xieshu might misunderstand. "I am sorry," he said staring into his eyes with a gaze that can only be described as warm sympathizing with the prince.


    Wen Qinxi felt his heart melt into a puddle but restrained himself showing a nk expression. "It''s fine, no need to sympathize with me," he said peering sightlessly at the grey wall. He didn''t n to repeat the incidents in the first world but couldn''t help but be drawn to Qie Ranzhe. Wen Qinxi tried to distance himself by creating a distraction using Nubile Gypsy as a shield but who would have thought the Marshal would screw up his ns just like that. Would he ever seed in shaking off this guy or they were destined to get entangled with each other once more?


    A lingeringawkward silence filled the room with Qie Ranzhe trying to find the right words to say but he failed miserably, in the end, choosing another random question "When you find the, what are you going to do?"


    Wen Qinxi finally nced over with a ck expression that had the Marshal concerned."Appoint a new emperor. I want to make you king," he said to a bbergasted Qie Ranzhe, "My father is not worthy of your loyalty. In order to gain full control of the UPSF fleet, he tried to kill you and your parents. Though he failed it doesn''t mean he won''t try again. That kind of heartless man doesn''t deserve the throne so yes, l am going strip down all his power and make him suffer a thousand times more than l did."


    Qie Ranzhe''s blood ran cold hearing Zhao Xieshu''s confession. He had already hit a wall concerning the case of the zergs attacking his parents. The attack was obviously directed at him but he never thought his enemy was a man he had pledged allegiance to. Qie Ranzhe was so angry clenching his fist under the table till his knuckles turned white. He had to make the emperor pay for betraying his trust. Qie Ranzhe could already imagine tearing that vile man''s body limb from limb but he was soon drawn out of the dark abyss when Zhao Xieshu ced a warm hand over his instantly pacifying him.


    Qie Ranzhe looked down at the perfectly manicured thumb brushing against his clenched fist. This subtle yet intimate touch felt like he had been struck by lightning wishing time could freeze at this moment forever. Caught up in the moment, Wen Qinxi got as close as possible to Qie Ranzhe whispering, "Don''t be too rash. This is why I am here. I will go to war, fight for you and win. You just have to be patient, okay?" before drawing back creating appropriate distance between them.


    A tongue-tied Qie Ranzhe only uttered a few words expressing his gratitude to Zhao Xieshu for saving his parents but that''s not all he wanted to say, his voice just wouldn''t cooperate. Just now a volcanic eruption exploded tender sweet feelings that had his mind in turmoil. An inexplicable heat arose from the bottom of his heart that couldn''t be cated unless he touched Zhao Xieshu. He couldn''t deny it, Zhao Xieshu had affected him in some way. As to what kind of effect it was exactly, he didn''t know though he was certain of one thing. He wanted to monopolize this omega and keep him by his side at all times.


    The Marshal was lost in thought that Wen Qinxi had to call out to him twice. "Ran-ge! Ran-ge!Can l leave now?" reverting back to his usual self instantly quenching the firey atmosphere zing with ambivalence. Still, in a trance, Qie Ranzhe nodded prompting Wen Qinxi to stand up. He had a lot of things to do at the base and couldn''t afford to tangle with Qie Ranzhe any longer.


    But just as he reached the door, Qie Ranzhe suddenly reached out grasping his wrist saying, "l will send you back."


    Wen Qinxi found this funny chuckling with a hint of flirtation. He could only guess Qie Ranzhe wanted to find out the secret location of his base. What he didn''t know was that this Marshal had fallen so deep and wanted to spend more time with him. Wen Qinxi refused him insisting on calling someone to pick him up which made Qie Ranzhe feel a sense of loss.


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t let go instead drawing him a few inches closer asking, "Am l still your ideal type of alpha?"

 Chapter 121: Second World: A Drunk Omega

    Chapter 121: Second World: A Drunk Omega


    Wen Qinxi was struck dumb unhesitantly removing Qie Ranzhe''s hand off his wrist before responding vaguely, "What do you think?" exiting the room with a coy smile that could wreak-havoc in Hades. Machu dly showed him out that is before he nced over to his doomed Marshal while tsking within.


    ''You fuckin flirted with him, didn''t you?'' said the excited system as he exited the car right outside the spa sh hotel harbouring the base.


    ''He started it,''ined Wen Qinxi with his heartbeat quickening as he recalled the scene that took ce thirty minutes ago. While reying the scenes in his head with a beatific expression, hismunicator suddenly shed a notification.


    "Fuck!" he yelled looking distraught quavering in anger. His face turned deadly pale with all the blood drained from his face. He could feel his heart sink when he read the earth-shattering message. The concerned Xianxi team members tried to call their leader out of his trance when they saw him frozen stiff in the open elevator.


    Xiao Hua peeked at themunicator and couldn''t help but shake his head in disappointment. This vicious cycle was starting all over again making him feel utterly helpless. He patted Zhao Xieshu''s shoulder suggesting, "Xie Xie how about we go have some fun tonight? Come on, work can wait," while leading his half-dead friend into the base.


    ***


    The words ''I will go to war, fight for you and win'' were constantly reying in Qie Ranzhe making him unable to focus on his dinner te. He wanted to write Zhao Xieshu a message but didn''t know what to say plus they had only been apart for three hours and didn''t want to appear too clingy. Back and forth he wrestled with himself barely paying attention to the person sitting across him.


    Zhao Huangzhi also noticed Qie Ranzhe was a bit distracted but still insisted on having dinner with him. She couldn''t shake the feeling that this was her only chance. She had to seize the opportunity otherwise who knows when the Marshal will make some time for her again.


    Qie Ranzhe had made some work excuse saying he had to cancel their appointment but she still managed to convince him. How can she not convince him when she had bragged to everyone even on Valim Network about this date. Hell, she even rubbed it in Zhao Xieshu''s face so she couldn''t afford to lose face no matter what. After a one-sided conversation dinner Zhao Huangzhi sent the waiter to bring over the dessert she had specially ordered for the Marshal with a little surprise inside.


    Faced with the famous golden phoenix cupcake an expensive dessert that looked so sweet that it could give him cavities just by looking at it, Qie Ranzhe scowled in disdain refusing to eat it. Why did she have to insist on ordering for him on top of that something, not of his taste?


    "Huan, I can''t eat this...it looks too sweet," he said with his stomach already churning just by looking at it.


    Zhao Huangzhi knew he didn''t have to finish it toplete her n and pled him to try it. In his mind, Qie Ranzhe just wanted to get this appointment over and done with so he hesitantly used his fork to break it apart. Zhao Huangzhi peered at him in anticipation, excited for the Marshal to find the ring inside the dessert so she could make her grand confession which she was secretly live streaming on Valim Network.


    She couldn''t wait to confess her love in front of millions of fans that way the Marshal will be forced to agree not that she was worried that he wouldn''t ept her proposal. She just wanted to leave no room for failure. This would deal with the emperor as well as he will be too embarrassed to retract the engagement. Her n was perfect but who could have thought just as he was about to take a bite, hismunicator suddenly shed with an iing video call.


    She wasn''t angry about this sudden interruption. As the future Mrs Qie, she should be understanding of her husband''s demanding job and ustom herself to such interruptions. Patient, she waited for him to finish while giving him some space.


    Qie Ranzhe''s brows knitted together when he nced at the video call request but his expression soon, his heart ted when he realised it was Zhao Xieshu. He connected his earpiece so he could hear him clearly but Zhao Xieshu wasn''t even in sight. Themunicator seemed to be ced on the table in a noisy nightclub as the group of omegas chattered away.


    "Xie Xie, stop drinking and say that again," said Xiao Hua while Teng concealed the red blinking light.


    Soon a voice ever so familiar to him spoke in a stammering manner, Zhao Xieshu was obviously wasted. "Big che-st, tall and...um....ah....haha what was l saying? Hahahahaha, yes, yes...serious type," said a tipsy Wen Qinxi praising the interster world for having strong alcohol.


    "That''s the Marshal you just described. I asked you what type is Nubile Gypsy. You just met with her today remember?" asked Hauidan while nudging Tong who wasughing his ass off.


    "No, no, no, no...I just described Gypsy not th-that.....lying bastard. Let m...let me tell this one tiny thing. He fuckin flirts with anything that moves," harshly waving his hand causing him to bump into a waiter. Soon a loud crashing sound was heard followed by the prince''s drunken apologies. "Ohhhh I am sooooorrry....Come I will help," he said leaning forward but he was too drunk causing to tumble to the floor.


    "Shit! Help him up," said a worried Xiao Hua.


    After a few minutes of noisy shuffles, Wen Qinxi finally stood up with Tong''s support but his eyes suddenly turned murderous pointed at Teng yelling, "that''s her," before jumping over Xiao Hua, "that''s th-the green tea bitch l was...tell-telling you about. Come here, let this ancestor teach you a lesson," grasping Teng''s cor.


    The others struggled to peel him off while Teng talked some sense into the drunk prince. "Fuck! Xie-dage, it''s me, Teng, your xiao-meimei," she said feeling helpless. How could she be mistaken for Zhao Huangzhi?


    Wen Qinxi who had finally realised his mistake suddenly stopped patting Teng''s hair apologizing. "Aww dage was wrong. Maybe l should go find that temptress!" Hauidan stopped him and the feed was cut off right after.


    Qie Ranzhe abruptly stood up, excused himself and left with no proper exnation. Zhao Huangzhi was both angry and embarrassed especially when she had gone ahead of herself naming the Livestream ''Sweet Princess'' happy ever after''.


    Her gaze coincidentally met her maiden who was still streaming even after the Marshal had already left. She couldn''t help but scream, "Shut it off," revealing her ugly side to the entire universe for the first time.

 Chapter 122: Second World: Drunk Confidence

    Chapter 122: Second World: Drunk Confidence


    There only a few words to describe Wen Qinxi ''drunk, drunk and drunk''. The omega was so inebriated that everyone had a good show. He insulted everyone and everything that was before he got himself into involved in another ridiculous game which he started.


    "Wa-wa-.....haha...Xie Xie, you have never waxed before? Let me fuckin see?" said a tipsy Tong crouching down with great difficulty while pulling up Zhao Xieshu''s pant leg.


    Wen Qinxi was casually slouching against Xiao Hua with his legs on the couch while taking another shot. He thenughed out loud watching the drunk Tong struggle. "Hahaha, you are so fuckin drunk! Let me....haha let me do it," he said as he stumbled forward reaching out for his pant leg with much effort as the drunk omegas joined in theughter.


    "Oh shit! That''s so much hair....hahaha you look like a fuckin bear!" said Hauidan reaching out touch Zhao Xieshu''s exposed leg.


    Pa! This was the sound that could be heard as Hauidan sucked in a breath after being smacked. "Haha.....where you think you are fuckin touching? Yo-you can''t afford this," said Wen Qinxi with his voice drowned in vibrantughter. Actually, his legs weren''t hairy at all but the omegas were just too drunk.


    Teng suddenly ran in with somedies carrying in soft wax causing Xiao Hua to involuntarily flinch recalling the horrifying pain. "Are you sure about this?" asked Xiao Hua gently brushing away the blonde strands of hair blocking Zhao Xieshu''s face. He knew his best friend was afraid of pain and might regret this tomorrow but he really wanted to distract Xieshu from his heartbreak.


    "Let''s do this," said Wen Qinxi with a light chuckle as he ced his head on Xiao Hua''sp, "one more shot then we can start." Xiao Hua gave him a shot of liquor as thedy applied a generous amount of the soft wax on Zhao Xieshu''s leg.


    ''Boss, l would have to advise you against this,'' said Jolie but in truth, it couldn''t wait to hear Wen Qinxi''s agonizing screams.


    ''My leg is numb from the alcohol. I will be fine,'' he said to the system but the sharp pain that followed when that vile woman ruthlessly pulled the strip off had him cursing out loud while burying his head in Xiao Hua''s abdomen.


    "Fuck! Who fuckin suggested this!" sobering up for a split second. While Wen Qinxi was screaming like a woman inbour, Qie Ranzhe suddenly opened the door his face flushed paired with heavy breathing. It was obvious he had run all the way here only to be met by such a scene.


    Zhao Xieshu wasfortably nestling on Xiao Hua''sp as though natural while the pink-haired omega was yfully running his fingers in the prince''s hair the both of themughing about something. The longer his presence went unnoticed the more sullen he felt with his gaze fixed on Zhao Xieshu as though saying ''notice me''.


    The Marshal gulped down a jar of vinegar with his face contorted in such a way that showed contempt for Xiao Hua he just wanted to grab Zhao Xieshu and take him away as to where he was taking him, anywhere would be fine. Omega with an omega though rare wasn''t impossible which he didn''t discriminate but wasn''t going to tolerate it if it was Zhao Xieshu. With a pinched expression pressing his lips t, he walked over interrupting their fun saying, "Xie Xie let''s go."


    Wen Qinxi sat up straight staggering along the way with Xiao Hua supporting him by the waist. Flustered, Qie Ranzhe pursed his lips looking away suppressing his rage but soon set his gaze back on Zhao Xieshu when he heard the tone of address. "Brothers-inw you have lost the right to call me Xie Xie," beckoning Qie Ranzhe to leave.


    Qie Ranzhe was baffled wondering what earned him such a ridiculous title. Why in the world would he call him that? "What brother-inw? Are you so drunk that you are making up things?"


    Seeing how genuinely confused he was, Teng messed with hismunicator before a 5D image filled the room showing the Marshal''s romantic rendezvous at the fancy restaurant. At this moment, he realised he had been yed by Zhao Huangzhi unsure whether he shouldugh or cry. He had never led her on or promised her anything apart for being nice to her yet she turned around and pull off such a stunt. Is this why Zhao Xieshu was drinking himself to death? Was he jealous?


    "What engagement? I don''t like Zhao Huangzhi in that way. Now stop messing around and let''s go," he said just as the screen disappeared. Even after watching that he still couldn''t understand how that equalled getting engaged. He walked forward hoping to assist Zhao Xieshu and take him home.


    Wen Qinxi looked at him with a face pinker than usual squinting his eyes saying, "Not going l am not done here, Can''t you se-, fuuukkkkkk!" A long thread of a curse word followed right after the evildy waxed off thest strip. Wen Qinxi unknowingly grabbed for Qie Ranzhe''s hand and squeezed it with so much strength. If it had been an omega or beta''s hand it would have been badly bruised.


    Qie Ranzhe couldn''t understand what was the point of doing all this. He felt his heart twist in pain seeing how red his leg was. Distressed, he effortlessly picked up Zhao Xieshu carrying him out over his shoulder scolding the prince. "Haven''t you hurt yourself enough," he said heading for the exit.


    Qie Ranzhe faintly heard Xiao Hua yelling after him saying, "Marshal please take care of him." Why would Xiao Hua say that to him? Of course, he would take care of this omega, Prince Xieshu was extremely important to him.


    Qie Ranzhe carefully ced the drunk prince in the car and letting the driver set off when he was sure Zhao Xieshu wasfortable. In tacit understanding, the driver raised the partition divider in the car giving the marshal his privacy. Wen Qinxi had his cold gaze fixed on Qie Ranzhe with a quizzical expression that made the Marshal feel anxious. He nervously bit his lip ncing sideways at Zhao Xieshu. ''Why is looking at me like that?'' thought Qie Ranzhe feeling a little bashful. He couldn''t hold back anymore asking, "What?"


    Wen Qinxi kept staring at him with an intense gaze asking, "So you and Zhao Huangzhi there is really nothing?"


    Qie Ranzhe stared right back at him responding earnestly, "Mn, there is nothing. How about you and Xiao Hua?"


    The intense eye contact lingered between the two people for a second longer igniting an air of reckless enigma. Wen Qinxi couldn''t bear it anymore pursing his lips with a smile saying, "There is nothing, we are close friends. Why you want to know?"


    Qie Ranzhe finally looked away concealing a satisfied smile. "The same reason you wanted to know about Zhao Huangzhi," nervously rubbing his palms together.


    Wen Qinxi sighed whilezily cing his exposed leg on Qie Ranzhe''sp saying, "What do you think? It was so fuckin painful so it better look good."


    Qie Ranzhe was startled at first with his entire body taut but seeing how nonchnt Zhao Xieshu was, he swallowed hard rxing a little. He hesitantly ced his hand on the prince''s leg which was as red as a lobster while opening a medicalpartment and taking out some soothing cream. Wen Qinxi unconsciously shuddered as the cool feeling spread all throughout his leg causing goosebumps to form all over his body.


    "You don''tneed to do this. Your legs are fine the way they are," said Qie Ranzhe gently rubbing his fingertips against Zhao Xieshu''s skin motivated by the prince''s reaction to his touch.


    Wen Qinxi couldn''t help butugh in his drunken stupor, "Marshal where have you seen my legs before?"


    Feeling wronged Qie Ranzhe exined himself in a heist. "During sports in high school when you wore shorts," while letting go of his leg.

 Chapter 123: Second World: First Kiss

    Chapter 123: Second World: First Kiss


    Wen Qinxi wanted to ask him how he can possibly remember what they looked like but didn''t get the chance as they approached the pce. He quickly got out of the car but immediately staggered in foolishughter still highly intoxicated. Qie Ranzhe ran over to steady him just in time. He reached out hoping to let the drunk omega lean against his body but Zhao Xieshu did the most unexpected thing. While Qie Ranzhe was inattentive, he jumped in front of him sessfully wrapping his legs around his waist while saying, "Ran-ge, l can''t walk. Can carry me inside?" as they faced each other.


    Qie Ranzhe was stupefied, for the first time in his life be didn''t know how to respond to such a situation. This was highly inappropriate but what puzzled him the most was how Zhao Xieshu could act so natural as though contact between them wasn''t a foreign thing. He was so d they were under the dead of the night otherwise it wouldn''t end well for the both of them. Qie Ranzhe decided to ce his hands under Zhao Xieshu''s thighs to secure him but it soon seemed unnecessary as the prince wrapped both his arms around the Marshal''s neck.


    "Hope you don''t remember this tomorrow otherwise you will be too embarrassed," said Qie Ranzhe with a smile as he walked towards Zhao Xieshu''s pavilion as fast as he could. He had no choice but to quicken his pace because the situation was quickly turning dangerous. Under the cool night, his body was gradually heating up with his alpha scent uncontrobly seeping out. If he just moved his face a few inches to the left he would undoubtedly kiss those sweet pink lips dangerously brushing against his neck.


    He quickly leaned down on the sofa intending to ce Zhao Xieshu there but the omega stubbornly tightened his grip around his neck and waist. This was too much excitement for this alpha with his brown eyes turning dark and bottomless. "Xieshu, let go," he said in a hoarse voice while tagging the prince''s arms.


    Wen Qinxi seemed to be back in the first world recalling how sweet those lips tasted yearning to have another taste but would this Qie Ranzhe be willing to give it to him? While nervously biting his lower lip summing up the courage to do the unmentionable, Qie Ranzhe asked, "Are you trying to kill me? Let go otherwise you might end up regretting it," in a threatening tone that had little effect on Wen Qinxi.


    "Just this once, let me kiss just this once," said Wen Qinxi his entire body numb from the alcohol. His half-lidded eyes were teary his lips slightly parted making this scene so alluring that Qie Ranzhe unknowingly released more of his mask pheromone his eyes drooling over the omega lying beneath him. Zhao Xieshu wasn''t releasing his pheromones due to his powerful suppressant but he still had that Marshal entranced leaving him with a burning urge to taste.


    "Let go Xieshu. You are drunk and I can''t kiss you when you are like this. You probably won''t even remember this," he said almost pleading with him but Wen Qinxi was resolute in his decision. He wanted to kiss Qie Ranzhe again just this once.


    "I will remember, l promise," said Wen Qinxi drawing him closer effectively catching his prey into his trap, "just this once, okay?"


    Coaxed into it, Qie Ranzhe let Zhao Xieshu do as he pleased with him. Wen Qinxi wasn''t timid at all kissing and sucking Adam''s apple first before taking a nip out of it causing Qie Ranzhe to quiver. "Thi-this isn''t what...ah.....we are agreed on,"ined Qie Ranzhe with his alpha scent filling the room enjoying the exhrating feeling.


    The Marshal was famous for his ability to restrain himself and his great self-control even when face with omegas who intentionally released their pheromones to seduce him that includes Zhao Huangzhi. His pheromone resistance training apanied by his self-discipline helped him resist temptation but now all that self-control seemed useless as he fell under Zhao Xieshu''s spell and the omega didn''t even have to release pheromones to make him lose his mind.


    Hisst shred of defence came crumbling down when he heard the prince say, "Shhh just enjoy. Just this once," in a low voice that caused his scalp to go numb.


    Liquor encouraged Wen Qinxi as his lips slowly tracked up Qie Ranzhe''s chin then the corner of his lips. "Do you like it?" he whispered but Qie Ranzhe could only respond with a grunt,


    "Mn," his eyes shut mediating on Zhao Xieshu''s every movement.


    Wen Qinxi finally nted his lips invading the Marshal mouth with his unruly tongue teasing the alpha with no hint of bashfulness. Being tormented like this Qie Ranzhe couldn''t hold back any longer refusing to be outdone. The tide turned on Wen Qinxi when his chin was gripped hard as the Marshal deepened the kiss in an imposing tyrannical way ravaging his mouth wildly giving Wen Qinxi the illusion of being eaten clean. His body enthusiastically responded to that familiar pleasurable experiences shameless grinding against the Marshal. Qie Ranzhe only let him go when he realised the bulge in his pants was expanding demanding release. They had to stop otherwise things would seriously get out of hand.


    Wen Qinxi seemed ted smiling at him with a beaming smile while calming himself down. He really missed Qie Ranzhe. In the first world, they hung out together, touched each other and slept together so often that he had gotten used to it. But ever since he entered the second world he found he couldn''t do all those things before which was okay at first but that single touch in the cafe opened up the flood gates and he wanted more of him.


    Qie Ranzhe wordlessly stood up and helped the omega to bed before going into the bathroom to ssh his face with some cold water. He looked at his sorry figure in the mirror and couldn''t help but chortle while licking his lower lip recalling their intimate moment.


    "This is good," he said to himself while dampening a hand towel to wipe Zhao Xieshu''s flushed face. Strolling out of the bathroom he said, "Now that l have l kissed you l naturally have to take responsibility," leaning down to wipe Zhao Xieshu''s blushing face.


    "Haha, as long as you wear your uniform the next time l see you, I will ept your proposal," said a highly intoxicated Wen Qinxi enjoying the feeling of being wiped with a warm towel.


    "Wait," said Qie Ranzhe fiddling with hismunicator, "I need to record this just in case you try to pull a fast one on me tomorrow."


    Wen Qinxi casually chuckled while assuring him, "I won''t forget. I am a genius with a high IQ but if you insist I will say it again. I will ept your proposal if you wear your uniform the next time l see you."


    Qie Ranzhe was pleased with himself exiting Zhao Xieshu''s pavilion as soon as the prince fell asleep. He couldn''t wait to visit him once more and im his prize.

 Chapter 124: Second World: Blacklisting A Nagging Alpha

    Chapter 124: Second World: cklisting A Nagging Alpha


    It''smon knowledge that everythinges at a price and this particr morning, Wen Qinxi was bearing the heavy price of being intoxicated. This heavy throbbing headache made him vow to never drink again but who was he kidding. Once he forgot the pain he dove right into it again subjecting himself to such horrible pain.


    "Jo-lie, Jolie," he mumbled with his eyes flickering while rolling in bed but the system didn''t respond. Just when things were getting spicyst night it begged Xia Bai to restore its ability to go offline at will otherwise it would have been force-fed dog food scorching its pure eyes.


    Receiving no response, Wen Qinxi peeked his head out of the quilt in a daze. It took him a minute to remember where he was but couldn''t remember how he got here? While racking his brain struggling to piece together what happenedst night, hismunicator beeped several times scattering all the memory fragments he had painstakingly gathered. Frustrated, he epted the video call request grumbling, "What? Can''t you give this ancestor a break l feel like l am dying?"


    Xiao Hua actually looked way better than the ashen-faced Wen Qinxi with his coiffed hair and wless skin radiating through the image, this made Wen Qinxi green with envy. "Are you alone?" he asked with the image moving as though he was taking a stroll.


    Wen Qinxi looked puzzled saying, "Yes, why wouldn''t I be alone? I live alone remember?"


    Xiao Hua shook his head in disappointment feeling like his good n was wasted on Zhao Xieshu. "I gave you a lending hand and you couldn''t even seal the deal? Do you actually want to lose to Zhao Huangzhi?" he said recalling how he had made a video call to the Marshal with Zhao Xieshu''smunicator and got Qie Ranzhe to ditch Zhao Huangzhi but this friend of his didn''t lure the prey into the trap. How disappointing.


    "What n? Hua Hua, you know I was so wastedst night I don''t even remember how I got here," he said partially covering his face with the quilt. Xiao Hua''s eyes shone a little brighter, not remembering was way better. At least it meant Zhao Xieshu might have made progress but just couldn''t recall.


    "The Marshal came to pick you up and I made sure he drank tons of vinegarst night. Hurry up and get ready, I will help you remember once you get to the base," said an excited Xiao Hua. He couldn''t wait to probe Zhao Xieshu''s brain and find out what happenedst night.


    Wen Qinxi rubbed his itchy earlobe while trying so hard to recallst night''s events but nothing of use came to mind. "Forget it. The captain is reporting back today so we might not have time. I want to know what Emperor Zhao has been up to so l know how to deal with himter. Just let me know as soon as she approaches base," he said sitting up on the bed while massaging between his brows while cutting the call.


    After gathering some strength, he grabbed the medical kit and took out some pill to alleviate some of the pain before strolling into the bathroom. While taking his pants off, he finally noticed the pinkish-red leg different from the other. A result of waxingst night.


    "Shit! This must be the dumbest thing I have ever done. Fuck!," while rubbing the sore red patches.


    "No, it wasn''t," said the system appearing out of thin air Iike a vindictive ghost.


    Wen Qinxi jumped in fright, he didn''t expect the system to just show up while he was butt naked. Granted, it probably saw everything in the first world but it was invisible then, now it had the appearance of a little girl which was too creepy. He didn''t even bother asking what it meant by ''no, it wasn''t'' scolding it to get out.


    "Ai....boss, l have seen everything already, why are you being so shy now?" while tilting its head to the side taking a closer look with its pigtails yfully dangling.


    Wen Qinxi grabbed a towel wrapping himself up at the armpits like howdies do before yelling at the system, "You....Scram!" feeling vited.


    "Promise to make me invisible again and I will leave," said the system bargaining with him, "otherwise I will keep showing up each time you get naked."


    "Such a cunning fox! Fine, fine you win, you little pervert. I will turn you back now leave," he said wishing he could face-p the system.


    Jolie snickered while mockingly tugging the towel wrapped around Wen Qinxi. "Pfft.....hahaha you wrapped yourself up like a girl! Do you have boobs or something?"


    Wen Qinxi''s face sank angrily flinging a slipper at the system yelling, "Piss off!" effectively chasing the system away before he proceeded to take a shower. When he left the shower his body felt invigorated and born anew but was yet again disturbed by another iing video request. A shirtless Wen Qinxi epted the call after pulling up his pants. He had his back against themunicator searching through his closet for a t-shirt.


    The poor Marshal was suddenly faced by a shirtless omega with his smooth glossy back to him. From that angle, he could clearly see some leftover water droplets caressing Zhao Xieshu''s back streaming down to his lower back dimples before disappearing into his jeans. Heart beating through his ears, Qie Ranzhe licked his lower lip leaning in for a close-up. He yearned to kiss those water droplets dry while nibbling on Zhao Xieshu''s toned muscles leaving behind love bites to dere sovereignty. Feeling parched he caressed every inch of Zhao Xieshu with his dark eyes that resembled a beast stalking its prey.


    His gaze swept upwards halting at the pheromone nd at the nape of the prince''s neck. Maybe it was an illusion but it seemed to be calling for him to sink his teeth in there and take possession of this breathtaking omega.


    Machu suddenly walked into the office perplexed by the strong alpha scent wafting out of the Marshal''s office. This was highly unusual since Qie Ranzhe was one of the few alphas he knew that didn''t release their pheromones willy nilly especially when his pheromones were so oppressive and terrifying enough to make a trained mercenary whimper like a pup.


    "Marshal is something wrong?" he asked while turning on the pheromone extraction fan but he was met by wolf-like cial eyes turning his legs immediately weak as an overbearing pressure epassed him. He really wanted to cry feeling suffocated with his lungs burning deprived of air.


    "Get fuck out!" bellowed Qie Ranzhe while minimizing the image. Machu immediatelyplied rushing out as his life depended on it. The Marshal was not in his right mind. It''s a good thing Machu knew to quit while ahead.


    The yelling finally attracted Wen Qinxi''s attention, he was busy looking through his closet waiting for the caller to speak but the person hadn''t said anything for a couple of seconds. He was about to hang up thinking it was a butt dial or something when he heard Qie Ranzhe roaring like a lion defending its dinner.


    "What the fuck are you yelling at me for? Psst.....you are the one who called me yet you are yelling at me?" he said while putting on his t-shirt.


    Qie Ranzhe was gluttonously staring at that exquisite corbone subconsciously biting his lower lip craving a taste but his view was suddenly blocked by the stupid fabric.


    "Ahem...I wasn''t yelling at you. I was just....um.....why are you epting video calls naked? Wait do you do this with everyone?" said a mortified Qie Ranzhe who had obviously eaten tofu to his fill but didn''t want others to eat too.


    "Argh! Again with the shirtless thing. Do l have some type of boobs that only you can see?"ined Wen Qinxi pointing at his chest while eyeing him as though his bullshit meter was ticking in the red zone.


    "Frivolous!" replied Qie Ranzhe feeling like he had just been made to wear a green hat. Omegas always covered up barely showing any skin but the one he liked actually dared to show off his goods for all to see?


    "Did you just scold me?" asked Wen Qinxi with an excuse-me facial expression, "How fuckin brave of you. Call me again when you are sensible," he said before ruthlessly cutting the call leaving behind a stupefied Marshal. He couldn''t understand why Zhao Xieshu would be this angry with him. In afrenzy, he called back three times but on the third try, he was cklisted for four hours.


    Qie Ranzhe, "....."


    ***


    With the call dropped Wen Qinxi pulled at his hair in frustrated. He had a throbbing headache and now he was being scolded non-stop. Headache, hunger plus Wen Qinxi''s temper equals cklisting the Marshal for four hours.


    Two hourster a ring on the doorbell disrupted his work mode. He was preupied with the interster maps trying to calcte where the rest of the pilgrimage spaceship could be if part of it was found on that deste peach. Wen Qinxi casually checked the camera feed but he was startled to see Mama Qie patiently standing by his door.


    What was this? Qie Ranzhe''s back up? Was he using his mother to get to him? These were the questions running through his mind as he exited the secret room heading for the door.

 Chapter 125: Second World: How To Get Off An Omegas Blacklist

    Chapter 125: Second World: How To Get Off An Omega''s cklist


    Wen Qinxi flung the door open wondering if Mama Qie was lost, Zhao royal family pavilion was in the opposite direction. From the character''s memory, Zhao Xieshu and Mama Qie didn''t see eye to eye. To be more exact Zhao Xieshu tried to get on her good side to win Qie Ranzhe''s heart and get her blessing but Mama Qie was so cold to him that the omega was forced to give up. Now she had somehow stumbled upon his door patiently waiting for him.


    He couldn''t help but wonder if she came to rebuke him and y out some scene from a dog blood drama offering him millions to stay away from the Marshal. The old him might have been tempted to take her offer though hical. Whatever the reason for this unannounced visit he opened the door with a fixed smile weing her inside not forgetting to guard against her.


    He politely greeted her before serving her a hot cup of aromatic tea as this was the only tea he could find in the kitchen. After five minutes of brewing, Wen Qinxi ced the tray on the table before carefully pouring some into her teacup. The familiar scent astonished her, this was her favourite tea she drank every single day. Was it only a coincidence that Zhao Xieshu had this in his kitchen or was it fate?


    Using a roundabout method, she asked, "Is this your favourite tea as well," before taking a sip with an ted smile. That smile sent chills down Wen Qinxi spine as he casually replied,


    "No, I don''t drink tea. I prefer coffee."


    Mama Qie was vexed by his answer inquiring further. "Then why do you.....," she asked but paused unable to resist taking another sip. Naturally, Wen Qinxi knew why that tea was in his kitchen. This character was infatuated with Qie Ranzhe so much that he made it a priority to learn the Qie family habits so he could curry favour in the future but of course, Wen Qinxi didn''t n on mentioning this to her.


    "Oh, I casually bought it just in case if l had guests. I guess it was a good decision then," said Wen Qinxi sipping warm water as the hangover effects crept up on him once more.


    She epted his answer looking around this small yet beautiful pavilion that was extremely homey. She had visited the Emperor''s pavilion where the entire royal family resided excluding Zhao Xieshu. It was ten times bigger with expensive decorum but it wasn''t as warm and cosy as Zhao Xieshu''s pavilion."Oh, l almost forgot," she said gently pushing a bento towards Wen Qinxi, "Ran-er asked me to make you some clear noddle soup. It''s good for hangovers."


    Wen Qinxi had caught a glimpse of the bento when she walked in but never thought in a million years that it was meant for him. A warm fuzzy feeling spread all over his chest finding this overbearing CEO was rather cute.


    "Thank you," he said opening the lid with a beaming smile. The mouthwatering scent had him salivating but he had exercise restraint and reserve it for when she leaves otherwise he will embarrass himself eating like a gluttonous pig. Mama Qie didn''t question why he wasn''t eating happily enjoying her tea without a care in the world. It was only when she was gratified did she notice Zhao Xieshu had no attendant bots. This was extremely peculiar considering the pce had server bots in abundance yet the prince had not a single one so she asked, "Why don''t you have server bots? Do you do everything by yourself?"


    "I make my own meals and have cleaning botse in every day....Forgive me for being blunt but did youe all the way just to give me the bento? I truly appreciate it but feel horrible if this is the only reason you came. I have troubled you Auntie Qie," he said with a meaningful expression but Mama Qie gently patted his hand saying,


    "It''s no trouble. I also came to ask you something important," her soothing tone so motherly reminding Wen Qinxi of his own mother, "I hope I am not overstepping my bounds but l just wanted to ask you what you think of my son?"


    Wen Qinxi almost spat out the mouthful of water. He would have been better off spitting it out as he choked instead to the point of violently coughing. ''What the fuck?'' he thought with his watery eyes scrutinising Mama Qie. The motherly omega rubbed his back in aforting manner. What happened? Wasn''t Zhao Xieshu in her eyes a frivolous prince with no dignity and an embarrassment to the entire universe? Why the change in heart?


    "Ahem....uhm.....well, why.....uhm....the sudden change?" he hesitantly asked his heart unwilling to let this woman off lightly.


    Mama Qie''s face turned pale ashamed and apologetic, "I was wrong for judging your lifestyle and believed what others had to say about you. I am sorry and hope you can forgive me someday."


    Wen Qinxi''s expression changed several times unbelieving of this situation. Uncertain of how to respond he remained silent for a while. After some internal struggle, he finally part his lips to speak when the door was harshly opened from the outside. Whoever it was didn''t even bother knocking just walking in as though walking into a toilet.


    He scolded himself for not locking the door in the first ce when he saw the mother and daughter pair walking in. They joyously acknowledged Mama Qie whilst treating the second person in the room like air. Wen Qinxi didn''t mind in fact, he wanted to get all three hens out of his house but didn''t know how to go about it without being too rude.


    As luck would have it, the Empress suggested the three of them go shopping while Zhao Huangzhi clung to Mama Qie like a spoilt child. "Yes Auntie, let''s go. We haven''t spent time together in a while," said Zhao Huangzhi tugging Mama Qie''s sleeve. This behaviour didn''t bother Mama Qie before but now she found it appalling. Zhao Xieshu was isted from the rest of the family and each time she asked after him in the past they would use him of being rude and disrespectful which was why they never included him. Turns out those were all lies, this prince was actually sweet and considerate making it hard for someone to dislike him.


    "I am afraid I would have to refuse this time. I came to spend time with Prince Xieshu," she said trying to politely reject their offer but how could they let them cultivate a rtionship so easily. Though the Emperor disagreed with Zhao Huangzhi marrying the Marshal, the Empress was hopeful. She believed her husband would one day realise the benefit in this union so she maintained a tight-knit friendship with Mama Qie. That is to say, when the timees Mama Qie will naturally give her blessing and formally wee the princess into the Qie Family.


    This is why she bad-mouthed Zhao Xieshu because she knew her stepson was a love rival to her precious daughter. Her n worked wlessly but who would have expected Mama Qie woulde to Zhao Xieshu''s pavilion out of her own volition intending to bridge the gap between her and the prince. Did the Empress'' efforts count for nought? This wouldn''t do.


    "It''s alright Mama Qie. You can go shopping. l promised my friend that I would go visit him today," said Wen Qinxi feeling his space was too crowded which was suffocating.


    Mama Qie seemed conflicted but seeing that she had also shown up at Zhao Xieshu''s door unannounced she reluctantly agreed. "This is great, let''s head out now. I also want to show you my new collection that arrived yesterday...Come,e let''s go," said the Empress dragging Mama Qie by the arm.


    Wen Qinxi smiled at Qie Ranzhe''s mother saying, "Thank you so much for the soup. I will let you know what I think," as they approached the door.


    As soon as the word soup came out of Zhao Xieshu''s mouth, Zhao Huangzhi frowned with contempt written all over her face. "Soup? What soup?" she said but the Empress dragged her out as well unwilling to dy any longer. The longer they stayed in Zhao Xieshu''s pavilion the more she felt her chest tighten. That child looked simr to the former Empress, a constant reminder that omega who reigned on the mouths of the people even though she was dead.


    As soon as the door was shut, Wen Qinxi ran over to heat up the bento he had been coveting this entire time. He stood by the microwave impatiently tapping the counter with a spoon in his mouth closely watching the timer. With the timer hitting 0:01 seconds, Wen Qinxi opened the microwave door and ate a mouthful of the clear noodle soup almost burning his tongue. The taste was magnificent, a hangover cure bestowed by the heavens. Lost in this moment of bliss, he took a picture of the half-eaten soup, removed Qie Ranzhe from his cklist before sending him the picture with the caption ''thanks''.


    ***


    A few streets over Qie Ranzhe was busy reprimanding his mother for going out shopping without aplishing the mission. All she had to do was convince Zhao Xieshu to remove him from the cklist but who knew she would run off to buy unnecessary things. Being scolded by her son, Mama Qie couldn''t endure the embarrassment especially when the Empress kept circling like a vulture wanting to eavesdrop on their conversation so she cut the call without a second thought.


    Qie Ranzhe for the second time today had his call rudely cut twice with no exnation. Anxious he tried to focus on the documents in front of him but it proved futile as he kept eyeing hismunicator with expectant eyes. All he could think about was how he was going to survive the next one hour and a half without resolving things with Zhao Xieshu that is if the omega would ept his calls after he was off the cklist.


    Nervously tapping his desk his eyes intently watching the clock as though time would magically move faster by ring at it, hismunicator suddenly shed drawing his attention. A picture of half-eaten soup with the caption ''thanks'' appeared in his line of sight. A warm spring sprout within as he swiftly requested a video call ending his two hours and thirty minutes of suffering.

 Chapter 126: Second World: Legendary Boss Face-Slapping Moment

    Chapter 126: Second World: Legendary Boss Face-pping Moment


    The video call requests rung three times before Wen Qinxi was pestered into epting. His mouth stuffed with noodles he epted the request feeling wronged. Didn''t the Marshal see from the picture that he was still eating? Qie Ranzhe was happy he picked up the call though he didn''t show it on his face. He wanted to maintain a stern demeanour with his line of sight falling on such a cute face pping on some noodles he couldn''t help quirk up his lips in amusement.


    Wen Qinxi was swallowing down the mouthful of soup when he finally noticed the stupid expression in Qie Ranzhe''s face, the kind of expression were you are smiling but trying to conceal it. "Why are you making that face?" asked Wen Qinxi reaching out for a napkin to wipe the corner of his mouth.


    Qie Ranzhe scratched his head hiding the full-grown smile saying, "You look cute."


    Wen Qinxi''s entire body froze in ce at the thought of being called cute by his boss. He was unblinkingly staring at the Marshal like a creepy mannequin in a clothing store. If this was the mannequin challenge Wen Qinxi would have definitely aced it. He was too convincing that Qie Ranzhe almost thought the signal was low causing hismunicator to freeze. That wasn''t right Valim Network was faster than the speed of light so how could it freeze?


    "Zhao Xieshu!" no response, "Xieshu!" still no reply, "Xie!"


    Who knew what was going on in Wen Qinxi''s mind. It was only after Qie Ranzhe called him the third time did he move. "Excuse me," he said as he abruptly stood up with the sound of his chair scraping the floor his expression unreadable. Qie Ranzhe didn''t know what he had done wrong this time and wisely shut his mouth to avoid adding fuel to the mes.


    What he didn''t know was that a certain someone was as red as a beet as soon as he got out of camera view. ''Such a fuckin flirt,'' he thought sshing some water to cool his burning face. Only when he was certain he could keep himself in check did he finally return clearing up the utensils saying, "The Marshal is indeed considerate the noodle soup was delicious," in a soft tone that tugged on Qie Ranzhe''s heartstrings.


    "Not as considerate as youst night," he said testing the waters. Before he got cklisted, he wanted to discussst night''s events but unfortunately, he shot himself in the foot earlier on. Now he very much wanted to talk about it but wasn''t sure how to approach such a sensitive matter. He had never had such a conversation before.


    Wen Qinxi moved with hismunicator into his secret room while casually asking, "How was l considerate?" with a tone of equivocation. He really didn''t remember much with fragments of his memory here and there. He remembered something to do with legs, cream and uniform nothing more.Qie Ranzhe was nervous at first but his entire body was soon drenched with icy cold water when he realised thescivious fox didn''t even recallst night''s events.


    Did it mean he was the only one who had a restless night tossing and turning thinking about obscene things while the one who started this mess was the least bit affected? "Xieshu you really don''t remember?" asked Qie Ranzhe his heart sinking deeper with each second.


    Wen Qinxi sat down into his chair while rearranging the interster maps on his desk. "What, did l do something stupid while I was drunk?" he asked with a raised brow.


    Feeling dejected Qie Ranzhe sighed before saying, "Never mind. Let''s not speak of it again. I have to go," his voice aloof and cold. Just like that, the video call disconnected.


    Wen Qinxi, "....."


    Wen Qinxi scratched his head all he wants trying to recall the events of the previous night but his brain wouldn''t budge. He might be a genius when ites to programming but when his brain was intoxicated it turned to mush his memory resembling that of a goldfish. Left with no choice, he had to ask the only other witness who could shed some light on this matter and that witness was,


    "Jolie!" he said calling out the system but who would have expected the scoundrel of a system to ask him to make it invisible otherwise it wouldn''t spill the beans. After ten minutes of negotiating, Wen Qinxi caved in asking Hei Bao to return the system''s default setting.


    "There, you got rid of the skirt now talk," he said folding his arm across his chest his ears itching to find out what made Qie Ranzhe so upset.


    "Geez, rx. I will tell you but boy does it feel great being invisible again. You can''t tell where l am. Am l here or...am l here? Ha!" said the system celebrating the restoration of its freedom.


    Wen Qinxi ignored its idiotic act with a bone-chilling gaze which somehownded on the invisible system.


    Puzzled, it asked, "Can you see me?..... Never mind I will tell you what I know up until Xia Bai took pity on me." The system didn''t save Wen Qinxi any face retelling every single detail even how Wen Qinxi shamelessly hooked his legs around the Marshal''s waist begging to be carried. As to what happened in the pavilion, it didn''t know as the programming gods took pity on the sassy system granting it safe passage to flee and remain a pure soul.


    "Hahaha....you are fuckin with me, right? Okay, I see. So I turn you into a little girl and you nder my good name. Put my leg on whose thigh? Me.....never, l refuse. Wrapping my legs on him.....psst like I would believe it?" he confidently said not believing a single word.


    "You see, I knew this would happen but you know what? This time l recorded everything. Would you like to see?" said the system ready for a legendary boss face-pping moment.

 Chapter 127: Second World: Drooling Over the Marshal

    Chapter 127: Second World: Drooling Over the Marshal


    Wen Qinxi''s face transitioned from a mere frown graduating to wide-eyed before settling on downcast expression with downright embarrassment. His face changed colour faster than a chameleon on a rainbow background. From waxing all the way to wrapping his legs around Qie Ranzhe''s waist, he saw it all. Seeing himself acting so coquettish, Wen Qinxi felt so ashamed he felt like offing himself and start the world all over again but of course, he couldn''t do that. He desperately wanted to know what he did in the room after the system stopped recording.


    "AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH! Jolie what the fuck! How can l act this way? This isn''t me? I don''t jump on people and act all flirty. Shit!" he said banging his head against the desk.


    "Haha, you don''t jump on people but you jump on our CEO.....haha. Congrattions boss you have captured Qie Ranzhe''s attention for the second time," said the system creating electronic fireworks for the new couple.


    Wen Qinxi, in a panic, had a moment of epiphany. Zhao Xieshu was a paranoid character and installed hidden cameras all over his pavilion. Yes, there must be video surveince somewhere. Determined to find what his drunken self did he searched everywhere. He finally found the footage and wanted to press y but he was anxious terrified to know what lewd things he did to the Marshal.


    "Why so fuckin nervous? Its obvious your virginity is still intact so press y," said the system seeing him this jittery.


    "Whose fuckin nervous? Howe you are still here? Go make yourself useful elsewhere," he said with his index finger rubbing against his thumb a nervous habit associated with the character.


    The system obedientlyplied leaving behind a distressed Wen Qinxi staring fixedly at the paused footage with a nk expression. "What''s there to worry about? It''s not like we haven''t done this before," he said to himself brazenly pressing y which he immediately regretted.


    Covering his mouth with his sweaty palm eyes as wide as a light bulb he watched the entire thing his face as red as a tomato. "OMG what the fuck was ''just this once''? Shit!" he cursed wishing the ground would just open up and swallow him whole. So this was the new him? A flirtatious horny creature with no shame. He rewatched the footage over and over again his fingers trembling uncontrobly as a sensation of coldness took hold of his body.


    In the real world, he would be considered a harmless good boy harbouring no ill will. In university, he had gone out drinking with his dorm mates passing out drunk once or twice to the point of not remembering his name but he had never behaved so smutty towards anyone be it, girl or boy. But towards his boss, he just couldn''t keep his sticky paws off him. In his mind, this was too illogical unless...


    "Fuck no! Infatuation my ass!" he said trying to delete the evidence but it was already embedded in his mind. There was no forgetting that scene.He even told Qie Ranzhe that if he wears his uniform the next time they meet he would ept his proposal. What was up with that? Did he have some kind of fetish for a man in a uniform? To confirm his theory he frantically searched the Valim Network for pictures of the Marshal at formal events.


    Thework didn''t disappointing having so many of the Marshal''s images some shot close up and others from a distance. All of them seemed to be taken without him being aware of it but he looked picturesque with the camera capturing his strong points. In a short period, Wen Qinxi lost himself drooling over Qie Ranzhe like a kid drooling at a candy store.


    This was to say what happened in the first world would have happened even if he wasn''t drugged, the ecstasy just nudged him in the right direction. "Okay, I admit his so fuckin hot," he said zooming in to take a glimpse of those alluring lips he kissedst night but his reminiscing was cut short by the sound ofmunicator beeping. "What?" he answered with his eyes glued to the Marshal''s image.


    Captain Rueda, "....."


    "Prince Xieshu, it''s me. I ran.....Uhm...I ran into some kind of trouble," said the captain in a shaky voice breathing heavily as though she was running away from something.


    "Oh shit, sorry. What sort of trouble?" he asked gathering his things to leave immediately. He had sent her on a recon mission to dig up some dirt on Emperor Zhao. She was following up on some leads but as she approached Valim airspace her mecha was suddenly attacked by EMP (electromaic pulse) device shutting down her mecha mid-air. With a loud bang, the mecha came crashing down right outside the capital forcing the captain to take off on foot as the perpetrators pursued after her.


    Panic-stricken, Wen Qinxi asked for her coordinates as he rushed out of the pavilion. He had to get the team to rescue her while creating a diversion. What he feared the most was Captain Ruedamitting murder-suicide taking the bastards down with her. ording to her character setting, she was the kind that would rather die than surrender into enemy hands.


    Wen Qinxi casually strolled to the pce armoury were they kept the mechas and spaceships belonging to the royal guard. His intention was tomandeer a spaceship or mecha to serve as a distraction while the team safely extracted Captain Rueda. He naturally couldn''t use his own mecha otherwise that would be like showcasing his technology to the entire universe.


    Though he didn''t have ess to this part of the pce Zhao Xieshu already hacked the system ages ago and made an all-ess pass that could even allow him to enter the Emperor only bathroom at will. It''s just that it hadn''t been used before but it worked letting Wen Qinxi in with no issues. After some sneaking around he caught sight of two mechas standing side by side and one of them belonged to Zhao Xieshu''s douchebag of a brother, Zhao Lazhie.


    An ominous grin quirked up on Wen Qinxi''s face his eyes filled with mischief staring at White Eagle, Zhao Lazhie''s mecha. It was time to y with his brother''s favourite toy without permission.

 Chapter 128: Second World: Joy Riding A Mecha

    Chapter 128: Second World: Joy Riding A Mecha


    "Eagle to Shadow, Eagle to Shadow what''s your twenty?" said a thrilled Wen Qinxi driving a mecha out of the pce like he owned it. It only took a few seconds for Meng Huangse to hack into White Eagle, Zhao Linzhie''s mecha ruthlessly shutting down the AI before it could even issue out a warning. The omega was now roaming the skies with a mecha that didn''t belong to him.


    "We are three minutes away from the target.....look at you, taking advantage of a ride that doesn''t belong to you," said Hauidan heading towards the captain''s location.


    "If I were you I would scrap that tin can for parts after I am done with it," said Xiao Hua casually pacing in front of a giant screen in the control room while monitoring Captain Rueda''s location.


    Wen Qinxi skillfully flew the mecha tracking down the enemy''s location which was a piece of cake for this omega. Even though the mechas pursuing the captain were cloaked with a shield masking theirsignal making them invisible even to the UPSF fleet but with Xianxi''s technology, it was like a fighter jetpeting with an army drone.


    "Absolutely, l intend to turn this brat''s mecha into scrap metal and watch him run back to his daddy in tears...There''s that fucking ghost. Time to activate ghost buster mode," he said aiming at the three invisible mechas pursuing Captain Rueda.


    "What the fuck is ghost buster mode? Howe I don''t have it?"ined a clueless Tong typing at light speed infiltrating the surveince system so as not to alert the UPSF fleet. It would be bad if the Marshal happens to pay them a visit at this moment intruding on their fun.


    "Mummy meant it as a metaphor not literally," said Meng Huangse, Zhao Xieshu''s AI that was now running White Eagle.


    "Call me mummy one more time and I swear l will rece you," he threatened firing aser cannon at an unsuspecting chestnut mecha, the fastest of the three. Bomb! A massive explosion resounded in the sky with the unfortunate mecha blown to bits with smoke as the only evidence of itsprior existence.


    "It''s a good day to blow shit up, isn''t it Xie Xie!" said Teng, her fingers itching to pull the trigger. Too bad she was ordered to stay in the base otherwise she would have unleashed hell on the enemy.


    "This feels so fuckin good!" said Wen Qinxi his bloodprising of mostly adrenaline. It was as though he had been injected with chicken blood vanquishing thest two mechas like it was nothing.


    "I got the captain, heading off to base now," said Hauidan in a sullen tone. Why was he sad? It was because he didn''t get to shoot at anything. It''s safe to say that these omegas were trigger happy with a burning desire forbat but these were peaceful times and it was rare for them to get such an opportunity.


    "Okay, I will y with Lazhie''s mecha a little while longer. You head back first.....what the fuck is that?" said Wen Qinxi faced by a invisible gigantic warship, its weapons armed and ready to engage.


    "Xie Xie, I aming to provide support. Hang in there," said a panicked Xiao Hua about to exit the control room.


    Wen Qinxi scrutinized the warship that seemed so familiar but he couldn''t remember where he had seen it before. He quickly sifted through the game files only to discover that this warship was designed by Zhao Xieshu''s grandfather but the design was never made public meaning Emperor Zhao seized it with the rest of the family property.


    "No need, I will keep them distracted. Hauidan take care of the captain," he said engaging his weapons.


    He could hear voices speaking to him but his eyes remained fixated on the warship as memories from the past flooded his mind. It was a memory of Master Gu sitting down with his two year old grandson exining his design. That same design was the blueprint of this warship right in front of him.


    With no room for negotiation,ser beams were shot at him but Wen Qinxi was extremely nimble, even in a backward mecha he escaped unscathed. He managed to dodge all their attacks, all but one which ruthlessly pierced through his lower abdomen.


    Taken by surprise he looked down checking the amount of damage in bewilderment but this reminded him of something. His knowledge of the blueprint meant he knew the warship''s weakness this meant he knew how to cripple this spaceship.


    An eerie grin suddenly appeared on his face, his frightening piercing gaze fixed on the Bridge of the warship. With a smirk he gave them the middle finger before suddenly vanishing into thin air.


    In the Bridge, a cloaked man rooted on the spot watched as the ever so familiar mecha give him the middle finger. He had fired those warning shots to discourage Prince Lazhie not to interfere but who would have expected he did get the middle finger. Seeing the prince''s childish behavior he wasn''t angry butughed instead thinking the White Eagle mecha was gone.


    He was just about to report to the emperor about the situation when suddenly, a warning alert systems set off jostling the cloaked man. "Sir, we have lost ny percent of our security shield and each attempt to repair the barrier results in a one percent drop!" said a panicked operations chief on the Bridge.


    "Fifty percent, no sixty percent of our weapons just went offline I can''t seem to regain control even after a reboot!" said another officer not sure how to proceed.


    The cloaked man scowled angrily barking out orders when a loud sound crackled in the sky followed by tremors in the warship as though struck by an earthquake. "Shit!" he cursed before striding to the hangar getting into his mecha intending to personally deal with the pest. Wen Qinxi was like a termite relentlessly chipping at the expensive warship for the fun of it.


    Meng Huangse had just issued a proximity alert warning Wen Qinxi of the impending danger when an electric beam was shot right at him. He instinctively dodged before firing aser beam at the other mecha but failed to hit his target. The cloaked man initiated a forcedmunication channel as his mecha was more advanced than White Eagle attempting to convince Prince Lazhie to stand down.


    "Your Highness, I am impressed. Your skills have improved quite well. But I am certain your father won''t be pleased with your actions. If you stand down now, will make it our little secret," said the cloaked man but Wen Qinxi made Meng Huangse silence him whileunching another attack.


    The cloaked man found this rather amusing. The prince was a man worthy to be his disciple, he wanted to be the Yoda to this Skywalker but how was he supposed to talk the kid into it. He was part of the four Grandmasters that practised ancient martial arts paired with mecha technology but hadn''t found a worthy sessor perfect to pass down his knowledge and now it seemed Prince Lazhie was well suited for that position.


    Wen Qinxi''s attack was blocked with ease but he wasn''t going to yield rushing forward with the White Eagle''s right arm transforming into a ming sabre swiftly shing at the other mecha. Instead of dodging the cloaked man took out his Saber blocking the attack before grasping White Eagle''s left arm mming the mecha to the ground. Wen Qinxi was mmed so hard on the ground that he left a huge dent on the warship. A sabre was suddenly pointed at his neck with a silver mecha towering above him.


    "Acknowledge me as your master or I will have your father deal with you?" he said after forcible opening themunication channel once more but the prince didn''t respond.


    Flustered, the cloaked man decided to use an EMP to shut down White Eagle and force the prince out of his mecha. It would be easier to deal with him that way. His mecha began to build up a massive load of electromaic energy on its chest cavity aiming at the mecha lying on the ground.


    "What the...Meng Huangse, prepare to take off on my mark," he said unwilling to be held captive by this mad man, "Now!" Wen Qinxi grasped the sabre pointing at his neck twisting it with great force which in turn twisted the other mecha''s arm before driving his shin into the silver mecha''s groin. Surprisingly this form of attack was effective even on a mecha.


    Grimacing in pain, the cloaked man cursed to high heaven as Wen Qinxi made his escape. White Eagle was powerless against that mecha which left him no other choice but to run. If only he had used Meng Huangse he would have won this fight with minimum effort but he couldn''t risk exposing his beautiful mecha to these greedy bastards.


    The cloaked man wasn''t done with him, he relentlessly chased after White Eagle all the way to the capital. "What the hell is wrong with this guy!" he yelled with a panicked voice.


    "Wuwuwu mummy, use me instead not this useless piece of trash," said Meng Huangse itching to give that silver mecha a good beat down.


    "Will you stop calling me th- fuuuckkkkkkkk!" with thest part said as White Eagle was struck by a massive electromaic pulse instantly shutting down the entire system. Unfortunately for Wen Qinxi, he was a thousand meters above ground meaning White Eagle took a nose dive pulled down by the force of gravity bracing for impact.


    "What''s the point of impact?" asked Wen Qinxi with beads of cold sweat on his forehead his body screaming in terror.


    "ording to my calctions, the impact won''t kill you but the problem is where you will crashnd," said Meng Huangse worried for its master. This will surely get the omega in trouble.


    "Okay, good. I won''t die, phew....," he said feeling much more rxed than before. He was so afraid of dying and having to start this world all over again.


    "Mu-, sorry I meant dad, don''t you want to know where you will crashnd?" it asked while Wen Qinxi strapped in before taking out a small bottle from his interspatial storage. It was Zhao Xieshu''s failsafe, he would drink this to eliminate suspicions by iming that he was drunk. When he crashnds in White Eagle the headlines will be ''drunk omega steals brother''s mecha for a joy ride'' which was better than exposing his entire operation.


    Wen Qinxi gulped down the entire bottle before asking, "Where?"


    "The pce,"


    Wen Qinxi, "....." internally, ''F@#%$@%@$%@%@%$%@##@$%@$#$$@$$@$k!''

 Chapter 129: Second World: Murdered Lazhies Best friend

    Chapter 129: Second World: Murdered Lazhie''s Best friend


    "The royal family surely need to put a leash on Prince Xieshu. This is absolutely outrageous! Like all omegas he should have been married off well-behaved, raising three kids at home but what is he doing? Crashing an expensive mecha straight into the pce. Such nonsense," said one of the hosts off a popr talk show on Valim Network.


    News had already been broadcasted to the entire universe of Prince Xieshu breaking thew, stealing Prince Lazhie''s mecha and going for a joy ride all over the capital while drunk. The mecha, White Eagle had cashnded in the pce grounds causing irreparable damage.


    The first reporters to reach the scene filmed Prince Lazhie wailing while calling out White Eagle''s name which had been reduced to scrap.


    "I understand your anger but I couldn''t help butugh when I saw Prince Lazhie''s crying face haha. You know what, let''s rey the footage and you will see what l am talking about," said the second host peering at the 5D image to get a clearview of that hrious footage with caption ''Prince cry baby''.


    The camera zoomed in on Zhao Lazhie who was hugging White Eagle''s broken arm crying, "Wuwuwuwu you murdered my best friend, wuwuwuwu Xies-," he said about to call his half-brother by his first name but when he recalled that vicious re that Zhao Xieshu gave him he changed the method of address, "Oh wait, Xie-dage! What did my mecha ever do to you? Wuwuwuwu," he carried on wailing with no self awareness. This continued until the guards came to confisticate the their devices but it was already toote as the mecha one man funeral was already uploaded on Valim Network.


    The audienceughed at this version of the once prideful prince who had lost face in front of the entire universe.


    "I have to say, that''s not a handsome crying face. Yikes!" said second host with an amused expression.


    "I have a good one. What''s more worse than an omega driving a mecha?" said a third host who had beenughing his guts out the entire time.


    "What?....." asked the two other hosts simultaneously.


    "A drunk omega driving a mecha hahahahahaha!," answered the third host bursting into unrestrainedughter but the other hosts let out forcedughter as a full blown out war started on Valim Network. They were three sides to this war. For Xieshu, against Xieshu and a bunch melon seed eaters who were just there to watch a good show.


    While another interster war brewed on Valim Network, Wen Qinxi was ina enjoying his well deserved vacation, in his mind of course. To pass the time, he had been either catching up on some action series he hadn''t finished or ying some random games with Xia Bai and Hei Bao. Today they were ying some nerd quiz game based on sci-fi movies andics.


    One would ask why a grown man would y such a boring game? This was because this game involved crypto currency which was major money. The winner would walk away with enough money to buy scooter or something of equal value.


    Wen Qinxi was initially having a great time but as the game progressed things became a bit weird. For instance Xia Bai seemed to be fumbling through his answers quite often. Not just the difficult ones but the easy ones too. At first he didn''t give much thought to it until Xia Bai even got the question for an anime he had been watching nonstop since his early teens wrong. It was a dead give away but the guy just couldn''t get it right. At that moment Wen Qinxi decided to say something especially when Hei Bao was on a winning streak.


    "Eh, Bai-ge what the fuck is up with you today, huh? Did you forget to take your medicine or something? What kind shitty game y is this?"ined Wen Qinxi unable toprehend Xia Bai''s change in behavior. Normally he was apetitive person but today he seemed to have lost his fighting spirit with a waft of sweetness permeating the air. It didn''t make any sense.


    Xia Bai was about toe up with a usible excuse to appease Wen Qinxi but Hei Bao beat him to it saying, "Bai-ge hasn''t been himself recently. Its either he has fallen ill, if I am not mistaken, it must diarrhea for sur-, Ouch!" Thest outcry was prompted by Xia Bai pping the back of his head in a scolding yet gentle manner.


    How could being in love be equited to having bowel movements? But Hei Bao wasn''t necessarily wrong in his deduction. Whenever he hung around Xia Bai, the guy would sometimes walk away in a hurry, his face flushed red for some reason. The first time he asked him what was wrong Xia Bai''s response was tummy ache. From then on whenever he was ran off, Hei Bao would assume it was the tummy ache again and even went as far as buying him medicine rmending he go see a physician. This is why he boldly assumed it was diarrhea.


    "Diarrhea my ass. Howe he''s helping you win? Are you two in on it?"ined Wen Qinxi feeling cheated. Something was up with Xia Bai but never in a million years would he have guessed that the other was trying to help his crush win the game to make up for the money Hei Bao lost to Jolie that greedy system.


    Hei Bao had beenining about not being able to buy a limited edition Kitana sword from an anime they had mutual interest in. He could understand why Hei Bao felt the need to buy it as he would love to buy it for himself. It was unbearable watching him sulk like this thus he arranged for them to gamble so he could give him money discretely.


    If he was to give Hei Bao the money up front he did refuse thus this was only method he could think of.


    "No Qie-ge, why are you being mean. You aren''t winning so you assume we are cheating?" this might sound innocent but this was Hei Bao''s clever attempt to use psychological warfare and convince Wen Qinxi to y. How could he let this golden goose run away?


    "Do I look gullible to you? Fuck this you two y together. I am done!.....Ah! Jolie when can l awake up? These two have a vendetta against me?'' said the Wen Qinxi wishing he could wake up and go mess with Qie Ranzhe instead.


    "Such a sore loser," said Jolie wishing it could y on his behalf but it had been banned from gambling with good reason.


    "What? Me? Do l look like a certain overly tan president with a yellow wig and can''t seem to ept defeat for no good reason?" said Wen Qinxi cutting of themunication channel ready to watch something special.


    "Surrrrreee...if you say so," replied the system secretly taunting him.


    ***


    While Wen Qinxi was having a crappy game night, Qie Ranzhe was having a terrible day. He had been at the imperial pce having a meeting with Emperor Zhao when the ident happened. A loud crashing sound followed by a massive explosion had the pce in a chaotic state.


    His first instinct was to insure the emperor''s safety but once that was done he left to check on the scene. The pce guard had the situation under control after deducing that there was no imminent threat. It turns out that White Eagle had taken a nose dive falling from the sky only to crashnd into the pce courtyard.


    The guards opened the mecha tsking while shaking their heads criticising Prince Lazhie''s terrible mecha driving skills. Zhao Lazhie wasn''t the best at driving mechas but none of them ever thought it would be bad to the point of crashing. But they were soon proved wrong when they saw Prince Lazhie running over his eyes brimming in tears.


    Prince Lazhie was running so fast that he rudely bumped into the Marshal and didn''t even apologize wailing, "White Eagle wuwuwuwu! Who hurt you? Who hurt you?"


    At that moment everyone became vignt, if Zhao Lazhie was here then who was inside the mecha?


    Under the rumble a foot suddenly kicked open the damaged emergency hatch. Bang! Bang! Two kicks and the culprit emerged from mecha looking bloody and shabby but Qie Ranzhe could easily recognize who it was as he ran over to catch a disoriented Zhao Xieshu. Panic was written all the Marshal''s face but Wen Qinxi found it amusing saying, "Oh, they are two of you. That''s alright l can fuckin kiss both of you."


    Everyone, "....."


    Zhao Lazhie, "You are such a fuckin asshole Xie-dage," while wiping his tear stained face.


    Though resolute in his decision, Wen Qinxi didn''t get to kiss Qie Ranzhe passing out into aa. The guards sighed in relief otherwise they would have been subjected to the Marshal''s dog food.


    Seeing Zhao Xieshu copse into his arms, Qie Ranzhe gently pped the omega''s soft cheek calling out, "Xiee on. Xie wake up, wake up," but Zhao Xieshu remained unresponsive seeming as peaceful as an angel.


    Qie Ranzhe red at the guards standing around like idiots, "What the fuck are you all standing around here for? Call the imperial physician!" he said as he stood up carrying the prince to the infirmary. Ever since that day he had been by Zhao Xieshu''s bed side refusing to leave watching over his omega.

 Chapter 130: Second World: I Will Be His Alpha

    Chapter 130: Second World: I Will Be His Alpha


    The sound of a porcin cup shattering to pieces apanied by angry roars from an infuriated man throwing a tantrum in the main hall of the grand pce. This ck sheep of the family had finally done the impossible. This time, Zhao Xieshu had managed to shock him to death. His son had an infinite list of sins he hadmitted damaging the Royal family''s reputation but this topped all of thembined.


    He desperately wanted to be rid of this child but who in this entire universe would be willing to take him in. Killing him wasn''t an option either otherwise he would lose the entire Gu family property. He had to figure out something before that brat ruined himpletely.


    In a dark corner, the cloaked man was busy watching the emperor throw a hissy fit like a toddler. He hadn''t taken it upon himself to divulge the details of the events that urred earlier. When he fought with White Eagle he had assumed that it was Prince Lazhie operating the mecha. He even extended an invitation to be his Master only to find out that person wasn''t Zhao Lazhie but his omega half brother Zhao Xieshu the infamous party freak prince.


    This incident meant that Zhao Xieshu was not as simple as he looked. The cloaked man withheld this interesting piece of information for now until he could figure out what to do about it. He intended to have a serious discussion with that omega once he woke up.


    As luck would have it, a messenger actually barged into the room announcing that the prince had just woken up from hisa. The emperor had issued clear instructions that he was to be immediately informed as soon as Zhao Xieshu woke up thus the messenger''s rude intrusion.


    "Bring him in," said the emperor slouching in his throne while pinching in between his brows. Ever since Zhao Xieshu fell into aa he suddenly gained a new guard dog and that guard dog was a thorn in his eye. This prevented him from venting his anger at an unconscious Zhao Xieshu. He nned to beat him up in hisa but the Marshal had somehow taken interest in his son guarding him day and night. This was extremely troublesome.


    With that watch dog there he really didn''t think he would get to exert vengeance, fortunately today was that day as Qie Ranzhe had an urgent matter at the base and that brat happened to have woken up.


    Wen Qinxi who had only just opened his eyes found himself in the presence of the emperor. "Fuck, how can l be so unlucky opening my eyes only to meet him?" he thought as the guard pushed him forward to face the terrifying emperor.


    Emperor Qie gazed at him with an ominous grin that resembled a bear just out of hibernation facing it''s prey after months of fasting. With his left leg folded over his right the emperorzily peered at Wen Qinxi nning the omega''s death over and over again in his mind.


    Wen Qinxi let out a sigh apuding the emperor for choosing a peaceful resolution but he had spoken too soon. Out of nowhere, Wen Qinxi was pped hard across the face to the point of seeing stars. Emperor Zhao was extremely heavy handed towards Zhao Xieshu unfeeling to whether he could withstand it or not.


    Wen Qinxi lost his bnce half-kneeling with blood sipping out of the corner of his mouth. He had had enough of this bastard with every inche of his body itching to teach this emperor a lesson. This feeling only manifested itself through his fierce eyes.


    "What? You think if you look at me like that I will be scared? Hahahaha...this child is too much," said the emperor with haughtyughter.


    With his palm on his burning cheek, Wen Qinxi staggered with his entire body trembling seething with rage. This type of situation made him want tomit murder suicide just to get rid of the emperor.


    Emperor Zhao paced up and down with a brooding countenance. He seemed to be thinking of a way to get rid of Zhao Xieshu for good without killing him. This time, his son had to be dealt with otherwise he would appear weak to the entire universe especially when he had already earned the title of ''an emperor who couldn''t even keep his son in check''. Locking him up wouldn''t do, knowing Zhao Xieshu''s character he would dig his way out with a spoon just to get out. While thinking over a good n he finally had his answer.


    Emperor Zhao ambled towards Zhao Xieshu with a wolfish look that gave Wen Qinxi a bad premonition. Whatever the emperor was going to say, it would anything but good. Wen Qinxi mentally prepared himself for the worst case scenario but no amount of mental preparation could prepare him for what came next.


    Emperor Zhao crouched down before him his eyes fixated on his trembling son. "I was too ignorant and failed to see a perfect solution which was right in front of me this entire time," he said harshly pping Wen Qinxi''s cheek, "The omega association contacted me when you came of age but.....because of your status as a prince I refused. How can a database decide which alpha family l should marry you into? If you were married off into a family of peasants, wouldn''t I have lost face? Well, I was wrong. I already lost so much face keeping you here. With a database randomly assigning you an alpha I don''t have to deal with you anymore."


    The omega association matchmaking database was every omega''s nightmare. If you don''t have an alpha of your liking this association would take it upon themselves to run this fiendish database using your DNA to find an alpha mostpatible with the omega. The alpha had a choice to refuse but the omega didn''t have such luxury. To make matters worse the omega would be sixteen to seventeen years of age but the alpha could be as old as seventy.


    Even though people in this universe lived upto 200 years on average and aged at a snail''s pace, the age gap was unreasonable at times. At seventy the alpha would look at least thirty years old which wasn''t bad at all but even though their DNA waspatable it didn''t mean their characters were as well.


    Wen Qinxi was deeply disturbed by this regretting evering into this world in the first ce. This crazy man was going to matchmake him with some random alpha just to get rid of him and there was no force in this universe that could stop Emperor Zhao from marrying him off not even the Gu family wealth. "No fuckin way," he said not even realizing he had spoken his thought out loud.


    "What did you say?" asked the emperor his face flushed with anger with veins bulging out on his neck and forehead. Without waiting for an answer he extended his hand intending to p him once more but his arm was painfully grasped mid-air.


    Exploding in anger he stood up only to find the Marshal ring at him with a gaze that could freeze the entire universe. But that wasn''t the scariest thing about the Marshal.


    What was most terrifying was the amount alpha pheromones emanating from the man. Seeing Zhao Xieshu being treated this way a burst of anger roused within him unknowingly activating his desire to protect this omega. It didn''t seem to matter who he was protecting Zhao Xieshu from what mattered was that he had to protect that omega with his life.


    Overpowering alpha pheromones filled the main hall rendering the emperor powerless in an instant. Emperor Zhao''s first reaction was shook with the urge to scold the Marshal but when he wanted to open his mouth and say something, he found himself unable to speak his voice stuck in his throat.


    When his pheromone receptors sensed an overbearing foreign pheromone his legs seemed to melt as they gave way. An excruciating searing heat crawled under his skin making him curl up on the ground with a grimace on his face. This wouldn''t kill him but would surely leave a scar on the emperor.


    "Marshal stop!" yelled Wen Qinxi when he realised Qie Ranzhe didn''t have any intention of stopping until the emperor lost his mind. Though he wanted the man to pay for hitting him, he didn''t want the emperor to use this as an excuse to restrict the Marshal''s military power and stir up unnecessary trouble.


    Wen Qinxi called out to him a couple more times but it was to no avail. It was only when he held the Marshal''s hand that Qie Ranzhe regained his sanity. When his gaze fell on the hand that was holding his, Qie Ranzhe was stupefied with his IQ dropping a few levels awkwardly staring at Zhao Xieshu. He hesitantly tightened his grip on Zhao Xieshu''s hand letting go of all his self-restraint enjoying this precious moment, the first time they held hands.


    On the other hand, Wen Qinxi wasn''t even focused on Qie Ranzhe and didn''t even notice the Marshal was giving him googly eyes in a daze. His eyes were fixed on the vile man who dared to p him. He watched the emperor regain his wits violently coughing looking like a wounded animal.


    "Qie Ranzhe you have gone too far! Have you forgotten your identity!" bellowed the emperor as his attends helped him to his feet , "And you!" he said pointing at Zhao Xieshu, "You better meet with the omega association tomorrow and get yourself a fuckin alpha. You have embarrassed my family enough!"


    The words ''omega association'' and alpha snapped Qie Ranzhe out of his trance mumbling incoherently, "I will do it.....I''ll.....I will do it."


    The two men looked at him confused, they couldn''t understand what he meant by ''I will do it.'' Do what exactly? The Marshal didn''t seem to make any sense.


    Seeing the two men''s reaction, he rified while tightening his hold on Zhao Xieshu''s hand. "I will be his alpha. I will marry him."

    Chapter 131: Second World: The Marshal Is Dating?


    The sentence ''I will be his alpha'' and ''I marry him'' were bouncing around Wen Qinxi''s nk mind. He couldn''t believe it pacing back and forth in his room. When those words escaped Qie Ranzhe''s mouth, Wen Qinxi broke into tearyughter thinking the Marshal was making a joke but the alpha repeated his words with a stern face. That''s when he realised the Marshal wasn''t joking around with hisughter instantly dying down. He remembers saying one word after which was, "Fuck," before walking out in hurried foot steps heading towards the pavilion.


    Two hourster he was pacing back and forth making the system feel so dizzy that it had to say something.


    "Boss pacing won''t solve anything you know?" said the system intending to make Wen Qinxi see the bright side of the moon.


    "I fuckin know that Jolie but I can''t help it," he said pausing for a second, "Why do I feel like this issue followed me from the first world? There Qie Ranzhe got an imperial interdict to get us married now his doing it again. It''s like some kind of deja vu or something. Does our CEO really want to get married outside the game?"


    This was a reasonable question considering that almost everything Qie Ranzhe does in the game reflected a part of his personal life. He got dumped right after proposing which left a deep impression on him and a void he desperately wanted to fill. One would think he would fulfill his wish in the game by pursuing Zhao Huangzhi as that was his ex-girlfriend but for some reason he kepting after whatever character Wen Qinxi was in the game which didn''t make any sense.


    "Yeah, he actually did but we all know how that turned out," said the system wondering if it should congratte him or not.


    "Let me guess besides helping him seed we can''t pass this World unless his wish is fulfilled, right?" asked Wen Qinxi as he sprawled onto the bed feeling defeated.


    "Most likely. In the first world part of his consciousness was only satisfied after...um....ah...that thing you did together. Only then did you pass that world so let''s just set that as a standard," replied the system not wanting to think how Qie Ranzhe was going swallow Wen Qinxi whole in this world. It secretly lit a candle for it''s boss.


    "Ah! Why does it have to be me? I won''t be surprised if I turn out bent after this game. Qie Ranzhe is such a je-," he said when his beepingmunicator interrupted him. He casually opened the message not thinking much of it that until he saw an exquisite news bulletin announcing their engagement. He jostled up in shock while cursing, "Why the fuck is he too enthusiastic? Its only been a couple hours and he already wants to announce to the entire universe?" While babbling a second message came through after which read,


    SexyDaddyRan: Do you like it? I will get the news broadcasters to make the announcement if you like it?


    Wen Qinxi felt his entire body quiver at his words. This was definitely happening whether he wanted to or not. It was either Qie Ranzhe or some random alpha from a stupid database. Convincing himself that this was the only way to keep a close eye on the Marshal, Wen Qinxi made a decision. He was going to marry his boss in the game but given how overzealous Qie Ranzhe was he had toe up with some conditions otherwise the Marshal would screw him to high heaven. He had to put a leash on him or this husky will run wild.


    SexyDaddyRan: How is your cheek? Is it still sore? Can Ie take a look at it?


    A string of questions followed behind in the same message that wasn''t enough to disrupt Wen Qinxi''s thought processing up with terms and conditions. Another beep followed with a new message,


    SexyDaddyRan: Why are you not responding? Are you upset with me again?


    Though it was simple message Wen Qinxi could sense a tone of desperation in it. He couldn''t help but imagine Qie Ranzhe looking at hismunicator with a sense of hopelessness impatiently waiting for a response.


    Well, he actually underestimated the Marshal as he was far worse than he anticipated. Qie Ranzhe was attending a military briefing with six generals while messaging Zhao Xieshu at the same time. At first, he was discrete about it sending messages to the prince while pretending to listen but as the meeting progressed Zhao Xieshu didn''t reply though it clearly showed that he had read his message.


    Agitated and anxious, he sent another message this time some of the generals could see something was up with the Marshal. This behavior was abnormal aplete deviation from his usual self. The man was annoyingly strict when it came to meetings, a sneeze alone could earn you a deadly re from the Marshal what more sending messages. And now Qie Ranzhe was the one fiddling with hismunicator during a military briefing. By the third message, Qie Ranzhe didn''t even bother pretend to be listening with his head lowered and brows knitted together nervously biting the inner lining of his mouth.


    This was like a ''what the fuck'' moment to the generals that they decided to private message each other gossiping about the Marshal in his presence.


    General 5: Do you fuckin see that? Hell most likely froze over today.


    Even though he was messaging in the group chat his face remained still and unmoved in a proper posture. You wouldn''t be able to tell he was messaging someone. This was a skill these generals acquired after years of having such meetings with the Marshal. This was after the third general was caught fiddling with hismunicator and was made to share what he had been messaging to the rest of the attendees. It would have been okay if he was sending messages on work rted matters but in his case he was busy discussingst night''s rendezvous with his wife. From the contents of that message thread there was one take away from this which was if you want sex advice, the third general was your man.


    General 2: Maybe it''s urgent work matters. You know how stuck up he is. The guy is wound up tight l am sure fun was intentionally excluded from his DNA.


    The third general saw the string of messages in his peripheral view and wanted to express his opinion as well but having earned the title of ''Minister of bedroom affairs'' he was reluctant too.


    General 1: Fuck no. That look on his face is so familiar. Sixth general looks like that when she''s talking to her girlfriend.


    General 6: Keep me the fuck out of this discussion l am trying to present you assholes.


    General 4: How can you still type while presenting? Shit thats some mad skills


    General 5: Stop changing the fuckin subject. Is he dating or not. Should we congratte him?


    The third general couldn''t take it anymore, he immediately chimed in which he woulde to regret in a second.


    General 3: His definitely dting and I think it''s Princess Huangzhi. Haha no shit, I thought he will remain single for life.


    Just as that message went through a loud bang on the table jolted everyone. Qie Ranzhe had mmed the table with his fist causing the small crack from thatst time he did this to extend five inches more. The expensive thick grenadil table had survived a century but two fist ms by Qie Ranzhe was all it took to drastically lose value.


    "I am not dating Zhao Huangzhi!" said Qie Ranzhe unable to hold off any longer. These men and woman were one of the smartest minds in the universe but actually forgot he was in the group chat. "Also, how are you able to be keep a straight face while texting?" He asked wondering how many meetings they secretly messaged each other without him knowing.


    The Marshal said so many words but all they could focus on was ''not dating Zhao Huangzhi'' so in actual sense it meant he was dating. The expression on their faces wereplicated caught between a mix of curiosity and shock. If it wasn''t Zhao Huangzhi then who else would grasp the Marshal''s attention.


    "So you are telling us that you are actually dating someone? You...are actually dating?" asked the disbelieving sixth general. The Marshal''s attitude towards dating was resolute. He found it extremely troublesome. From what they knew he was probably going to marry Princess Huangzhi if not then find a good omega or beta from a nice family to settle down with and love would naturally follow after. But now the impossible had happened and he was actually dating.


    "Oh crap...," mumbled the Marshal having divulged too much information. He was busy thinking of a way to reverse this when a message came through from Zhao Xieshu taking all his attention. Everyone else faded into the background leaving only him and that message. At that moment, nothing else mattered as he hesitantly tapped on the message icon with his palms sweaty due to nervousness.


    NaughtyPrince: Give me three days then broadcast.


    The Marshal''s lips quirked up into a foolish smile that had the generals in frenzy, that smile creeped them out so much so they thought the apocalypse wasing. Their fears didn''tst long because that creepy smile was soon reced with the usual nk expression. This was due to the second message that read,


    NaughtyPrince: I will ept with the following conditions.


    As Qie Ranzhe read through the conditions, there was one in particr that caught his eye causing a sudden outburst. "What the fuck?" he said before leaving the boardroom without even saying a word.


    Generals, "..."


    "Soooo.....um...can we go? Is the meeting over?" asked the third general unable toprehend what just happened.


    "Of course, the fuckin meeting is over..... sheesh," said sixth general before disconnecting the from the conference call. The other generals followed suit but opened a new group chat soon after spectacting on who the Marshal was currently dating.

 Chapter 132: Second World: Roommate or Husband?

    Chapter 132: Second World: Roommate or Husband?


    Three days is what he asked for but Qie Ranzhe somehow found his way to Wen Qinxi''s pavilion the very next day and the reason for this was the so-called conditions Wen Qinxi sent to him the previous day. When he arrived unannounced Wen Qinxi was busy messing with his interster maps in his secret room.


    He had just finished calcting and circled three possible coordinates for the rest of the fragments of the pilgrimage spaceship when the door bell rung. In a few taps he could clearly see who it was.


    Qie Ranzhe was standing at the door in his navy blue slim fit uniform with several medals and sophisticated pristine ck formal shoes. In his hand he held a brown box with who knows what inside. This picture was the same one he had the hots for on Valim Network but this time it was in real time.


    At first sight, Wen Qinxi''s heart skipped a beat ogling at this exquisite man before him. His navy blue uniform enhanced his wless radiant skin making him more appealing that one couldn''t help but take a second nce. Wen Qinxi ran his hands through his light blonde hair his eyes drooling over the elegant alpha whose appearance spelt sex appeal.


    He swallowed hard with his eyes resembling that of a lustful creature in heat. It was still a mystery to him when he began to lust over his boss or when he crossed the boundary from friend to someone he wanted to do all sorts of things with.


    His lewd thoughts scattered like the wind when Qie Ranzhe rang the bell for the second time. Realising how he easily fell into a trance he figured it could only be a trap. The Marshal had absolutely done it on purpose.


    Earlier on when he was drunk the other night he told the Marshal that if he came wearing his uniform he would agree to his proposition. Qie Ranzhe had clearly listened to him intending to use this to his advantage. The Marshal could only be here for one thing which was to negotiate with the prince in his uniform like a stunning sly fox.


    Wen Qinxi wasn''t stupid, he knew that those conditions would have Qie Ranzhe running over to talk him out of it. He knew letting him in was like openly inviting the lion into the sheep pen.


    "Marshal, what a pleasant surprise? How can l help?" he spoke through the inte with a smirk on his face.


    Qie Ranzhe was taken aback when Zhao Xieshu refused to open the door for him but he wasn''t the type to give up so easily and like a great military man he hade prepared. He opened the box cing it in front of the camera saying, "I brought this. Don''t you want it back?"


    Inside the box was the pistol Wen Qinxi gave to Papa Qie during the zerg attack. Why was it still intact? He was sure he had Xiao Hua activate self destruct signal in the pistol so why was it in the Marshal''s hands.


    "Oh shit!" he said hurriedly opening the door before grabbing the box out of Qie Ranzhe''s hand.


    "How the fuck do you still have this?" asked Wen Qinxi as he disassembled the weapon in a dexterous manner cross examining it before reassembling it again.


    Qie Ranzhe watched Zhao Xieshu''s slender fingers gracefully brush against the barrel of the pistol with a stern expression. He unconsciously licked his lower lip his Adam''s apple bobbing with his throat feeling parched. This scene of Zhao Xieshu holding a pistol was so intriguing arousing his interest. Inyman''s terms, the prince looked incredibly sexy holding a pistol.


    Entranced with this version of Zhao Xieshu, he found himself slowly approaching the omega his eyes fixed on those supple pink lips he desperately wanted to kiss till they were red and swollen. By the time Wen Qinxi was done, Qie Ranzhe was so close to him that he could literally feel the tall alpha''s warm breathe brushing against his skin.


    The Marshal was looking down at him with dark licentious eyes that could hyponitise him if he stared into them for too long. Wen Qinxi''s face flushed crimson blushing as he walked backwards to create some distance between them.


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t let him off easy taking one step forward while saying, "Those conditions?" in a deep maic voice.


    Wen Qinxi nervously bit his lip with a mobile expression stammering in response, "Yo-you....you didn''t answer my question."


    "A weapons'' expert deactivated the self destruct function. Now you know so.....let''s talk about these," said Qie Ranzhe disying the cause of his sleepless night.


    Wen Qinxi took another step backwards but found himself hindered by the wall behind him leaving no means of escape. He had stupidly walked into the Marshal''s trap of his own free will. Qie Ranzhe stopped right in front of him mming his hand on the wall while staring at the omega in front of him. Nerve-wracked with his body taut, Wen Qinxi struggled to stand his ground asking, "What about them?"


    Qie Ranzhe felt his body heat up despite the aircon circting cool air throughout the entire room. His n to intimidate Zhao Xieshu had apparently backfired with his mind filled with dirty thoughts as his body reacted rousing the sleeping dragon.


    He chuckled lightly while increasing the distance between them saying, "Separate rooms? How is that even sensible?"


    Wen Qinxi scratched his head wishing he could run away from the sexual tension. Just now when Qie Ranzhe wall mmed him, Qi junior seemed to have had a wake up call out of nowhere. "Mn, I need my space," he replied folding his arms across his chest in a bundle of nerves.


    "Share house expenses? What does that make me? Roommate or husband?" he asked wishing he could kiss Zhao Xieshu and show him that he would more useful as a husband than roommate.


    "Roommate of course. Wait.....actually housemate. How about that?" said Wen Qinxi beckoning him to sit down.


    Qie Ranzhe settled on the couch gazing intently at Zhao Xieshu who was sitting next to him on the while cating him but the alpha heard none of it.


    The word housemate echoed in his mind haunting him to the point of insanity. He never thought the prince would take it as being housemates when he proposed marriage. The Marshal was very much interested in having a rtionship with Zhao Xieshu yet the omega preferred to have a tonic rtionship with him. He desperately wanted to sink his teeth into Zhao Xieshu''s pheromone nd and mark himpletely dering sovereignty over the prince.


    He had to make his intentions clear and the only way he could express that was through a kiss. This way Zhao Xieshu would understand what type of rtionship he wanted to have with him.


    Unable to sense the air around him turn ominous, Wen Qinxi kept rambling on in endless chatter that is until his mouth was unexpectedly covered by something warm and surprisingly sweet.


    His heart beat quickened with shortness of breathe as the Marshal enthusiastically covered Zhao Xieshu''s lips with his. Qie Ranzhe had initially intended it to be an innocent perk but that sweet intoxicating taste of the prince''s soft lips had him yearning for more.


    Wen Qinxi wanted stop him from the start but he kept procrastinating as a jolt of electric sparks traveled to all the nerve endings in his body instigating an addictive pleasurable experience.


    Qie Ranzhe slowly ced his hand on Zhao Xieshu''s thigh with their lips entangled in a sensual spring of pleasure. His unruly hand wasn''t rejected boosting his confidence as his hand traveled up to the prince''s waist drawing him closer deepening the kiss.


    "Mm....mm," moaned Wen Qinxi as Qie Ranzhe lovingly massaged his slender waist causing Wen Qinxi''s body to heat up under his touch. These two were so caught up in their sweet indulgence that they didn''t notice the door open followed by Zhao Huangzhi ambling into the room without even ringing the doorbell.


    She heard the Marshal had just arrived but instead of heading to the royal family''s pavilion he went straight to Zhao Xieshu''s pavilion. After sprucing herself up she rushed over in hurried footsteps wondering what business these two had especially after her half brother said he wasn''t interested in the Marshal anymore.


    After her failed proposal she tried to meet up with the Marshal once more but he had been keeping her at arm''s length distancing himself from her. She was used to Qie Ranzhe being like this so she didn''t think much of it. She was willing to wait for him toe around by himself but the Marshal visiting Zhao Xieshu was thest straw.


    The door was surprisingly unlocked and so she strolled in like she owned the ce excited to see the Marshal when she was met with such a R-rated scene. Trembling in anger with her throbbing veins bulging on the side of her neck she yelled, "What the fuck are you doing?! Xieshu! You bitch you said you weren''t interested in him so what the fuck is this?"


    The two people felt as though their bodies had been drenched with a bucket of ice cold water ruining the sensual atmosphere.


    Wen Qinxi didn''t feel the need to hang around with a deranged woman so he casually waved his hand saying, "This has nothing to do with me so l will leave first. Just make sure you talk outside," before standing up to leave but Zhao Huangzhi blocked his path. How could she let Zhao Xieshu go just like that?


    This sluty omega had the audacity to seduce her man with his pheromones. It was a known fact that an alpha could barely keep his or her rational mind in the presence of an omega''s pheromones but she was wrong. Zhao Xieshu didn''t even release an ounce of his pheromones and she could sense it but she was in absolute denial.


    How was it possible for the Marshal to like Zhao Xieshu for who he is? It made no sense to her. He was rowdy, frivolous, embarrassing, disgraceful to only mention a few and couldn''tpare to her kind obedient nature so why would the Marshal be interested in him? Qie Ranzhe must have been drugged or something and she was obliged to set him free from her devious brother''s clutches. Zhao Xieshu had to be taught a lesson.

 Chapter 133: Second World: Breaking Up Without Even Dating

    Chapter 133: Second World: Breaking Up Without Even Dating


    Anger couldn''t fully describe how Qie Ranzhe was feeling right now. A violent storm was brewing within him with no point of exit just like a pressure cooker with no way to vent the mounting pressure inching towards an explosion. Qie Ranzhe was seconds away from bursting in anger holding on to thest shred of self-restraint barely maintaining a level head.


    A few minutes ago, Qie Ranzhe pulled Zhao Xieshu behind him in a protective manner blocking Zhao Huangzhi''s view of the prince. His nature wouldn''t permit him to just standby and watch the princess nder Zhao Xieshu for something he didn''t do. Since he had made a decision to be with Zhao Xieshu from now on he would be his shield protecting him from harm, destroying anyone who hurt him and suppress any one who tries to steal him away. This overwhelming urge prompted him to perform such a protective action in front of Zhao Huangzhi making her green with envy.


    It didn''t take much effort to get Zhao Huangzhi out of Zhao Xieshu''s pavilion. He grasped her elbow and dragged her out of there but failed to notice a certain someone''s was displeasure at this scene.


    Now they were standing face to face in the pce garden, one trying to restrain his anger and the other fuming with bloodshot eyes. Her chest was heaving violently with streams of tears flowing from her enchanting eyes.


    "Ran-ge I don''t understand? Why were you kissing him? Did he do something to you?.....Come, I will take you to see a doctor and get whatever filthy drug that slut us-," she cried out in desperation while tugging his sleeve before she was rudely interrupted by Qie Ranzhe''s low yet menacing voice,


    "I advice you to shut your mouth if you know what''s good for you."


    Zhao Huangzhi''s heart sank to the pit of her stomach. How could this be? This script was definitely wrong. He was meant to love her and her alone yet Zhao Xieshu had stolen him right under her nose.


    "Ran-ge, exin it to me? He has done nothing but embarrass you ever since high school making public confessions calling you daddy Ran in front of everyone. Not only that but he also cursed you out in front of the entire Valim Network," she said with a brittle voice while choking on her tears. She had done everything right and everyone praised her for being the perfect omega but the alpha of her dreams would rather have her screw up brother who caused trouble non stop.


    "Why him? Of all omegas why him?.....I am a much better omega than him. An omega fit for a Marshal of your statue so why?....Tell me, whatever his does for you I can do it too. Even better than he can," she said with with a hint of despair in her voice.


    Qie Ranzhe stayed silent the entire time listening to her while regretting ever being nice to Zhao Huangzhi because it had led to a misunderstanding. In the past he had considered marrying her as she was the perfect example of an ideal omega that every family wanted for their alphas and betas but when he was with her he felt nothing like eating something nd.


    But with Zhao Xieshu all the symptoms were there.


    When the prince wasn''t there he couldn''t stop worrying about him and when he was in trouble Qie Ranzhe would drop everything to be with him. When the Marshalid eyes on him he couldn''t fend off the urge to touch him and Qie Ranzhe''s tummy would suddenly get swarmed by butterflies. With Zhao Xieshu around him his palms would get sweaty and his heart rate would race uncontrobly. He liked Zhao Xieshu and wanted to be by his side night and day. Someone like Zhao Huangzhi would never understand that. So what if Zhao Xieshu was naughty? He was his naughty omega and he liked it.


    "I never promised you anything. Just because I was nice to you it doesn''t mean that I would end up with you. I suggest you move on Princess Huangzhi as I have already made my decision," he said suppressing the raging storm stirring within. He didn''t appreciate her insulting Zhao Xieshu and the source of that disrespect was none other than Emperor Zhao.


    Yesterday he personally witnessed the abuse the prince suffered in the hands of the emperor. That is to say the mark on his wrist thest time wasn''t from a love spur but from the man who was meant to protect him. When he saw the emperor raise his hand against Zhao Xieshu, he felt an agonizing pain in his chest. His heart felt like it was being torn in all directions and shred into a million pieces. He was determined to make things right by borrowing the hand of god and cripple the man who not only hurt his family but his omega as well.


    Qie Ranzhe who had been lost in thought was just about to walk away from her when a familiar dandelion omega scent filled the air surrounding him mingling with each breath he took. Zhao Huangzhi fell forward into his embrace resorting to such a dubious methods out of pure desperation. If Zhao Xieshu could do it then she could do it too her intentions clear as day. She meant to appeal to Qie Ranzhe''s alpha senses and hopefully have the Marshal mark her earning his eternal devotion but who would have thought her n would backfire angering Qie Ranzhe to the point of losing all rationality.


    Like a ferocious beast with murderous intent, Qie Ranzhe cornered her with his overpowering alpha pheromones till her legs gave in cowering in fright. "Zhao Huangzhi don''t fuckin test my patience!" he said with an overbearing voice that had the princess convinced he did hurt her if she continued pestering him.


    She didn''t dare move till Qie Ranzhe was out of sight and as soon as his figure disappeared, she had her servants help her up as the sullen expression upturned into a psycho smile.


    She rubbed at her eyes while saying, "He thinks he can fuckin drop me just like that? Hahaha...oh how naive. I will make you mine Marshal and if I can''t have you then no one can," she said as her servant fixed her hair, "Let''s go cry to daddy dearest and make him fuckin miserable."

 Chapter 134: Second World: Jealous But In Denial

    Chapter 134: Second World: Jealous But In Denial


    This is was Zhao Huangzhi''s true face not the mask she wore in front of the entire universe. Her true colours were shining in this moment and her once teary eyes held a glint of obsession, an obsession towards the Marshal. Being nice hadn''t paid off as expected and it was time to eliminate thepetition.


    ***


    Eyeing the watch like a hawk, Wen Qinxi counted minutes and the longer it took for Qie Ranzhe to get back the more his chest tightened feeling even more displeased by the minute. The image of Qie Ranzhe holding her made his skin crawl thinking about. "So fuckin annoying," he said contemting on whether to call him or not. They had just kissed moments ago now the Marshal was taking ages to get back. "AAAAAHHHH! Is he kissing her too?.....What the hell am I thinking?" he said talking to himself not expecting any form of response but he actually got one.


    "Waa, are you jealous?" asked a curious Jolie. It had seen Qie Ranzhe jealous plenty of times but Wen Qinxi, never. This was true progress.


    "Who the fuck is jealous?..... He has toe back here and exin why he felt the need to kiss me," said Wen Qinxi scratching his head in confusion. How was he being jealous? He was just impatiently waiting for him thats all.


    "Well, I just came over to tell you to watch your back. Zhao Huangzhi wants your head. It turns out she was the one killing Zhao Xieshu over again and over again when you hadn''t arrived in this world. Just be weary of her," said the system feeling like it had done the good deed for the day and deserved a reward.


    Wen Qinxi heaved a sigh while rummaging around for some snacks. Too bad this entire kitchen had no alcohol as he could use some right about now. "When does she ever not want to fuckin kill me? Even in real life she terrified the crap out of me," he said with sparkling eyes when he found an unopened bag of dried meat, "Mmmm.....l tell you what...oh gosh this meat tastes so good.....mmmm.....after I am done with this game I am staying the fuck away from the two of them."


    The system couldn''t take it anymoreshing out at the munching king. "Will you stop. Do you even know what you are fuckin eating?"


    "What?" he asked looking down at the half eaten packet, "What you want me to do? I can''t help it if tastes so good.....mmm.....do you want some?"


    "One I can''t fuckin eat anything and two even if l could I wouldn''t eat a fuckin horse," said the system it''s intention, teach Wen Qinxi a lesson he would never forget and it was working as it watched it''s boss panickingly spit out the contents of his mouth even going as far as washing his mouth with a kitchen sponge while gagging


    This was too hrious that Jolie couldn''t hold it in bursting intoughter, "HAHAHA! Omg you should see your fuckin face right now HAHAHA.....wow boss you are so fuckin hrious.....hahahaha."


    Wen Qinxi stopped his frenzied actions with a solemn expression. This AI was such a bully. He couldn''t wait to screw it over once his was done with this. It might be an expensive AI but just for a day he nned to transfer it into a vacuum bot. Maybe after eating some dirt will it behave.


    While Wen Qinxi was plotting his revenge the door bell rung once more. Qie Ranzhe was back but Wen Qinxi was no longer in the mood to entertain him. He let him in but his face clearly showed he wasn''t in a good mood but the Marshal wasn''t done with him.


    "I am sorry about this. I took care of it," said Qie Ranzhe taking a few steps closer to Zhao Xieshu hoping they could get past this and continue with what they were doing or at least talk.


    Wen Qinxi responded with a, "Mn," nothing more watching his every movement like a cautious littlemb.


    "If she gives you anymore issues just tell me," said Qie Ranzhe moving even closer in a subtle yet obvious way. He looked incredibly cute trying to coax his omega but his cuteness wasn''t appreciated by Wen Qinxi. All he could think about was how Qie Ranzhe held Zhao Huangzhi''s arm earlier on. Who knows what else happened during their private meeting.


    With this in mind, he found himself walking away heading to the kitchen to get some water and cool his hot head but who would have thought the Marshal would follow him around like a puppy closely following its owner out of fear of being lost.


    Wen Qinxi was startled when he turned around only to find Qie Ranzhe right behind him with his bright eyes staring at him like he had something on his face. Wen Qinxi could feel the tip of his ears heat up with his scalp numbing in an instant.


    He wanted to retort but his voice was caught in his throat. He took a huge sip of the water till either side of his cheeks were puffed up making him resemble a cute hamster. "Mn," he said passing him the ss as though asking Qie Ranzhe if he wanted to drink some.


    Qie Ranzhe showed a foolish smile wishing he could poke those incredibly cute cheeks. He could only think of one word, "Wow!" while epting the ss with no hesitation. This was a great opportunity to get an indirect kiss which wasn''t as good as a direct one but he could make due with it for now.


    While the Marshal was distracted, Wen Qinxi quitely slipped away heading for his secret room. Once he crossed that threshold Qie Ranzhe wouldn''t be able to follow him around and they didn''t have to continue negotiating the conditions of their future union.


    Like a silent breeze, he vanished into thin air but just as he opened the trap door in his walk-in closet he was suddenly embraced by the waist from behind with a gentle alluring voice whispering into his ear, "Where do you think you are going? We aren''t done talking."


    Wen Qinxi''s entire body went taut as a flush crept up his face. He swore Qie Ranzhe kissed his ear as the entire area felt unbearably itchy.


    The heat exchange between them had Wen Qinxi stumbling upon a dangerous territory. If they didn''t stop now he would end up losing his first time right here. "Get the fuck off me!" he said trying to free himself but Qie Ranzhe''s hold around his waist tightened even further with the alpha shamelessly burying his head in Zhao Xieshu''s neck.


    With his warm breath brushing against the omega''s sensitive skin he asked with a hint of seduction, "Why did you refuse to sleep with me as one of your conditions? Is it because I am not good enough anymore," with his moist lips grazing against Zhao Xieshu''s pheromone nd.

 Chapter 135: Second World: First Fight

    Chapter 135: Second World: First Fight


    In a deste part of the that resembled a dry desert, two mechas a yellow one and a ck one tore the sky at light speed looking for a perfect ce tond. After six minutes of hovering up in the sky the yellow mecha descended from above with great force causing the soft sand to scatter in every direction like in a sand storm. The ck mecha followed soon afternding right next to the yellow one standing in such a cool stance like in the action movies. The sight was majestic enough to incite teary excitement in people, too bad there was no one to witness it.


    The yellow one was Meng Huangse, Wen Qinxi''s mecha and the vantack one was Qie Ranzhe''s famous mecha Dark Stallion. The two couldn''t solve their issues using words and chose to use fists instead ande to apromise. Actually,promise wasn''t the best word to describe this because whoever won would get what they want.


    Qie Ranzhe was like a relentless husky demanding his rights as a married alpha in future but Wen Qinxi was motified by the amount of pain that came with someone prying open his small omega parts and being bitten at the back of his neck. "Biting behind my neck? What the fuck is this world? Are we beasts that resort to such perverted methods?" he said throwing a tantrum when Jolie gave him an interster sex education ss.


    He had read a few interster stories but none of them were romance so he had absolutely no idea of how sexual rtions urred in such a world. He cringed as his fear of pain took over when the system exined to him pictures and all.


    This was the real reason why he gave Qie Ranzhe the list of conditions. The Marshal was very attractive with a body that women would kill for but the pain described by the system had him running away as fast as his legs could carry him regardless of how his boss was an alluring seducer who could hyponitise anyone into taking off their pants with just his eyes.


    None of them coulde to an agree so they chose this method instead. Why was Wen Qinxi confident he would win? Well, that''s because Meng Huangse was ahead of its time overshadowing Dark Stallion based on specs alone.


    "You two are serious? Isn''t this a bit childish," said Captain Rueda watching with the rest of Xianxi on the giant screen. At some point, Wen Qinxi had informed the entire Xianxi about the Marshal knowing about their operation and the fact that they were getting married. Each piece of information as shocking as the other but the omegas were epting as they knew their family''s Xie Xie loved the Marshal and he was an alpha you could trust.


    Today they all wanted to watch this epic fight between two elite mechas cing bets on who would emerge victorious.


    "Teach that Marshal a lesson Xie Xie we all rooting for you," said Xiao Hua before turning around to look at Hauidan whispering, "Put 5000 Valim star coins on the Marshal. Xie Xie is definitely losing this one," before speaking to Zhao Xieshu again, "you are definitely going to crush him. Jiayou!"


    "Of course, I am going to win or my name is not Zhao Xieshu," said Wen Qinxi taking an offensive stance while warming up stretching his muscles. The omegas switched off themunication channel before openly cing their bets.


    "Don''t underestimate Xie Xie. Do you remember how he took down three zerg by himself," said a sensible Tong the only one loyal to Zhao Xieshu.


    "Get ready to lose your fuckin money. Have you seen Dark Stallion in action? Not even Meng Huangse''s upgrades can save our family''s Xieshu," said Teng mocking her twin''s poor choice.


    The captain sighed shaking her head in disappointment while watching them childishly ce their bets


    On the other end, Wen Qinxi had finished his stretches ignoring the excited AI calling a certain someone daddy Marshal non-stop. It only stopped calling out to the Marshal when he threatened it with a week of silence.


    "Xieshu you know this is a stupid idea, right? I am much stronger than you mecha or otherwise so quit wasting time and give in," said Qie Ranzhe with a smirk on his face.


    Wen Qinxi wasn''t going to give in, to evade pain he would rather fight this battle ten times. Okay maybe not ten times but two instead as fighting might result in even more pain. "Stop sprouting nonsense and fight me," he said before dashing towards the dark mecha his steps powerful and agile.


    Halfway, he leapt into the air with his fist clenched ready to smash Dark Stallion''s face but just as he was about deliver the high-powered blow Qie Ranzhe grabbed Meng Huangse''s wrist intending to m the mecha onto the ground but he was suddenly kicked in the chest causing him to let go staggering backwards before regaining a stable footing.


    The two mechas seemed to be at equal standing neither suppressing the other. There was something amiss about this fight but Wen Qinxi didn''t notice proceeding to sweep Dark Stallion''s leg bringing the mecha to the ground with a loud boom but Meng Huangse followed suit as Dark Stallion pulled the mecha down with it. Meng Huangse was flung in the air and mmed to the ground with a loud thud.


    "Aiyo.....Ai ! Fuck!" Wen Qinxi grimaced in pain but while he was twisting and turning on the ground Qie Ranzhe towered before him with a Sabre pointing at Meng Huangse.


    Wen Qinxi''s lips curved up into a smile as he gathered all the strength in his leg bashing Dark Stallion''s knee bringing that mecha into a half-kneeling position.


    In a swift motion Wen Qinxi got up and threw a punch at Dark Stallion hoping Qie Ranzhe would yield afterwards and he would spared from pain. But just as he was aboutnd the final blow his arm was grasped again. This time it was different. This time Qie Ranzhe used half his strength pulling Meng Huangse on the ground pinning him down that he couldn''t move a single muscle.

 Chapter 136: Second World: First Fight 2

    Chapter 136: Second World: First Fight 2


    Wen Qinxi tried to wiggle his way out and went as far as asking the mecha''s AI toe up with a means of escape but there was only one way and that is to yield. "Are you going to yield?" asked Qie Ranzhe pinning him in ce with no intentions of letting go. This feeling of having Zhao Xieshu under him was quite pleasant the kind of feeling thates from dominating the one you like.


    Wen Qinxi looked at him with a deadly re saying, "Get off first and I will yield." In all honesty, he was going to continue fighting he just had to get Qie Ranzhe to get off him.


    "Call me by the name you saved my contact on yourmunicator then I will let you go," replied Qie Ranzhe with a wolfish grin. Wen Qinxi almost spit out a mouthful of blood. The position they were currently in was ambivalent and dangerous as Qie Ranzhe''s bent knees where at either side of his waist his wrists held tightly above his head. He could only be grateful for the giant mechas otherwise his face would be crimson red from embarrassment.


    "How do you even know about that?" asked the nervous Wen Qinxi. How was he supposed to call Qie Ranzhe ''Sexy Daddy Ran'' to his face. Hell, he hadn''t even say it in private so how could he say it out loud.


    Qie Ranzhe tightened his hold even further saying, "If you don''t say it, I won''t let you go," with a thick face that made you question his morals.


    After struggling to no avail, Wen Qinxi finally gave in gathering all his courage calling him, "Sexy Daddy Ran," while gritting his teeth. He was so angry but Qie Ranzhe was satisfied letting him go with a beaming smile.


    As soon as the hold on his wrists loosened Wen Qinxi yed dirty and punched Dark Stallion with enough force to have him fall over to the side. Feeling victorious he was about beat him up until he yields when he heard a tyrannical deep voice calling his name, "Zhao Xieshu!" causing his legs to weaken in fright.


    From his voice alone he could tell the Marshal was pissed off and with good reason. He had used underhanded methods to win a fight he shouldn''t have agreed to in the first ce. As usual, he had seriously underestimated Qie Ranzhe. If it was gun fight he might have stood a chance but this was closebat and his character was in no way as good as the Marshal. He only had two options, stay here and receive his punishment or run and dy the punishment.


    "Fuck!" he cursed using his mecha''s speed to his advantage taking off into the sky.


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t think Zhao Xieshu would run so his reaction time was a tad bit slower giving Meng Huangse a head start.


    "Oh shit, haha Xie Xie yed dirty.....hahahaha...pay up Tong you lost," said Teng enjoying the show of the year.


    Tong was stubborn refusing to believe the Marshal could actually beat Zhao Xieshu. Shaking his head in refusal he said, "It''s not over until he yields. Don''t underestimate Xie Xie," refusing to ept defeat.


    "No you are definitely overestimating Xie Xie. The Marshal hasbat experience and he''s a force that can''t be reckoned with. Xie Xie should just give up now," said Hauidan


    Xiao Hua''s brows knitted together searching for the mechas that were here a second ago. The surveince drone wasn''t as fast as the two mechas so now they couldn''t see the fight. "Ah fuck it. Xie Xie ran now we can''t see the fight," heined sending the drone after them.


    Wen Qinxi really made a break for it confident Qie Ranzhe wouldn''t be able to catch up with him. His speed was exceptionally fast that he couldn''t see Dark Stallion anymore.


    "How was I, was I cool? You see dad was so smart, l left the Marshal eating my dust," said an overconfident Wen Qinxi still flying furtherest away from the hot head of a Marshal.


    "No, you weren''t cool. Now I will never get to see daddy Marshal. Whats so good about that?"ined the Meng Huangse expressing its displeasure with him.


    Wen Qinxi couldn''t fathom the obsession this mecha had with the Marshal which was annoying to some extent.


    "If you love him so much then you go live with him from now on," retorted Wen Qinxi feeling like a mother whose kid refuses to stay with her after the divorce because daddy is so much fun.


    "Okay," said the joyful Meng Huangse excited to stay with Qie Ranzhe and Dark Stallion.


    Wen Qinxi felt a prickly pain in his chest being rejected like this. He didn''t expect Meng Huangse would actually agree.


    "Whatev- oh shiiiiitttt!" thest part was said when Dark Stallion appeared out of thin air and tackled him out of the sky. Neither him no Meng Huangse ever thought Qie Ranzhe would turn on stealth mode so they didn''t actively look for him thinking they had left him behind.


    The two, omega and mecha fell from the sky at Dark Stallion''s inertia hitting the ground with a loud bang causing the sand particles to scatter all over the ce. For the second time today Qie Ranzhe was right on top of him. He was saying something but Wen Qinxi wasn''t paying attention pissed off as every nook and cranny had sand in it.


    Qie Ranzhe was telling him to disengage his mecha but the Marshal didn''t even have to ask twice as Meng Huangse did it without permission. In an instant Wen Qinxi''s mecha had disappeared hiding in its interspatal storage giving them some privacy. Dark Stallion followed suit and the two were left bare gazing into each other''s eyes.


    At that moment, Wen Qinxi knew he had already lost and chose to speak the truth. "I am afraid of pain," he said with a pitiful face that touched Qie Ranzhe''s heart strings though his face remained unchanged.


    "I know and I promise to be gentle, okay?" said the Marshal coaxing Zhao Xieshu who was lying beneath him. Though he never got along with Zhao Xieshu before he knew him like the back of his hand and he would never wrong him in anyway.


    Wen Qinxi felt his heart soften his face blushing with hint of shyness. Qie Ranzhe was surprisingly gentle towards him making his jump in tion.


    "Xie, I will take good care of you all you have to do is let me," said the Marshal leaning down to kiss Zhao Xieshu''s soft lips. Wen Qinxi was willing permitting Qie Ranzhe''s moist tongue to freely explore drowning in a sea of pleasure. His lips were sucked hard as he drew the Marshal closer grasping the fabric on Qie Ranzhe''s chest deepening the sensual kiss forgetting where they were.


    "What the fuck? What kind of fight is that? The bet is off, how are we supposed to know who won?" said Xiao Hua when the drone had finally caught up with the two.


    "Wow, the Marshal is so handsy, nice were.....Hey what did you do that for?" asked Teng when the screen suddenly went ck. Captain Rueda had taken it upon herself to cancel their R-rated reality show leaving the rest of them feeling disgruntled.

 Chapter 137: Second World: I Want To See You

    Chapter 137: Second World: I Want To See You


    After losing to the Marshal, Wen Qinxi had to go through a lot of mental preparation, not that it helped. He had to ept the reality that someday in the not so distant future Qie Ranzhe will not only poke his rather small omega parts but also bite some nd behind his neck.


    Whenever he thought about it he would get a headache contemting on whether he should die a painless death in the game and just start over just to avoid this but it wouldn''t work because Qie Ranzhe would stille after him.


    These thoughts worsened when the announcement of his engagement with the Marshal got released to the entire universe. The topic instantly became a hot search, a trending topic that everywhere he looked it was about him and the Marshal which was met with mixed emotions by the entire universe.


    With all this happening, Wen Qinxi had to distract himself with something so he set off to search at the three possible locations in the distant universe for the rest of the pilgrimage spaceship. Xiao Hua, Tong, Teng and Hauidan jumped at the opportunity to go with him into deep space and they had already been away for an entire week. They had searched two locations but came up empty handed and were heading to thest location when Wen Qinxi received a message from the Marshal.


    The two had beenmunicating through messages for the entire week but whenever Qie Ranzhe asked to see him, the prince would im he was busy. At first he didn''t think much of it but after days of being rejected, Qie Ranzhe began to worry that Zhao Xieshu was having cold feet hence the message he sent to him.


    SexyDaddyRan: I want to see you


    Wen Qinxi felt his heart melt into a puddle grinning from ear to ear. He had dated before but he was usually the one to send sweet nothings to the girl and never knew those sweet nothings felt so good. With the tips of his ears hot he pursed his lips into a straight line concealing a silly smile while replying to the Marshal.


    NaughtyPrince: busy, so I can''t


    Qie Ranzhe was inspecting the armory in UPSF base when he received a notification. His face was expressionless but his heart was leaping with joy as he sort out an opportunity to open the message. If he had a tail he would be doing a full-body tail wag in full view of his subordinates.


    But when he read Zhao Xieshu''s message his heart sank, it was another rejection yet again. Frustrated he pinched in-between his brows before deciding to initiate a video call. Maybe when Zhao Xieshu sees him he would realise he missed him and want to see him too. With that in mind, he called Zhao Xieshu but it took ages for the omega to finally ept his request.


    He was soon faced by Zhao Xieshu''s dewy skin and reddish pink full lips that seemed to be calling out to him. His enticing handsome features were amplified by his preened blonde hair. Faced with such a magnificent sight, Qie Ranzhe found his throat dry almost forgetting what he wanted to say. His heart stirred ogling at the person he yearned to see but he soon felt dejected when he recalled how long it took for Zhao Xieshu to ept his video call. Did Zhao Xieshu not miss him?


    Three minutes ago, Wen Qinxi who had suddenly received a video call request almost fell off his chair cursing, "Shit!" recalling how ugly he looked right now. He had been chasing after a stowaway funny looking rat-like creature that entered the warship on thest they visited. For two days straight they were tormented by that annoying squeaks in the vents that made it impossible to sleep.


    The final straw was when Hauidan found a hole on his favorite jacket so everyone went searching while setting traps all over the warship.


    They did manage to catch the little sucker in the end but the creature was in a vent which only Zhao Xieshu could fit in. Actually, he wasn''t the only who could fit in the vent but Teng and Tong were so terrified of rodents that they shoved Zhao Xieshu into the vent thinking they were safe. By the time Wen Qinxi reacted it was already toote with no other way but to go forward.


    After encountering dust while crawling in the vent he finally found that vile creature with its hind leg kicking air while taking itsst breath. By the time he came out his face and hair were so dirty and to make matters worse the ones who pushed him into the vent were poking fun at him.Tired of being made fun of Wen Qinxi gave the now dead rodent to Hauidan asking him to take revenge for him.


    Yah, he was too important to take his own revenge. He could just hire someone to do it for him. The screams and shrieks of Teng and Tong were music to his ears enjoying his moment of bliss while seated in the Captain''s chair.


    It was then that he received the Marshal''s message jolting him out of his trance but he never thought Qie Ranzhe would initiate a video call. Dropping everything he ran to his cabin and spruced his top half up as thats what would appear in the view of the Marshal. This was the reason why he took time to ept the video callpletely unaware that he had been misunderstood.


    Qie Ranzhe was still in the noisy armory running his fingers through his hair in an unpurposeful seductive way while asking in a deep maic voice, "Why did you take time to ept my video request?"


    Wen Qinxi pursed his lips with a shy smile averting his gaze thinking, ''So fuckin hot.''


    He only turned his gaze back to Qie Ranzhe when he found out the guy was silent waiting for an answer. "Oh, sorry...


    I was dealing with a rodent issue in the vents," he replied trying to calm his palpitating heart.


    His response had the Marshal creasing his brows in confusion. Rodents in Valim was a rare urrence unless if it was a pet so why would Zhao Xieshu be having this problem. Finding his answer suspect he asked, "Where are you now? I wille pick you up and we can have lunch together," pacing towards a secluded section as Machu was distracting him with his ckjawed expression. He had overheard the Marshal''s conversation receiving a shock of a lifetime. The Marshal actually had an affectionate side and he was showing it towards Zhao Xieshu of all people.


    When he heard about the uing engagement ceremony he thought Qie Ranzhe had been forced into it as it wasn''t a secret that his friend sh boss didn''t like Zhao Xieshu much. But ording to that conversation not only was he willing he was even force feeding the single bystander dog food. Machu could even go as far as saying the Marshal was a whipped boyfriend, head of heels with the party freak omega.

 Chapter 138: Second World: Friend, Boyfriend, Fiancée or Stranger?

    Chapter 138: Second World: Friend, Boyfriend, Fianc¨¦e or Stranger?


    Wen Qinxi would have loved to go to lunch with him but he was in the middle of nowhere and wouldn''t be back for at least another week.


    "Remember that pilgrimage spaceship I told you about?" asked Wen Qinxi sitting by the window while looking out into the cold inky vacuum outside.


    "Yeah I remember," he said wondering where Zhao Xieshu was leading this conversation to. Did he find it?


    "I think I might have found where the rest of the wreckage is. I have been out looking for it," replied Wen Qinxi, "so I can''t go to lunch with you."


    Qie Ranzhe wore a sullen expression with a wave ofplicated feelings. He was hurt, disappointed and worried. The prince didn''t find it necessary to let him know where he was going. For an entire week he thought Zhao Xieshu was ignoring him but it turns out it was worse than that. He was concealing something from him whether on purpose or not he still didn''t disclose his whereabouts. He should have escorted his omega and protect him with his life but the man ran off on his own making it impossible for him to aid Zhao Xieshu if he was in trouble.


    "Why didn''t you tell me?" he asked suppressing the urge to yell at Zhao Xieshu which was great pain as the words where right at the tip of his tongue.


    Wen Qinxi didn''t know how to answer that question. Why did have to report his whereabouts to him? He had been fine all along and didn''t need the Marshal to protect him so why did he have to tell him where he was going? He wanted to ask why he should tell him but he held back saying, "I didn''t think it was important plus you are busy and didn''t want to disturb you."


    Zhao Xieshu''s attitude towards this broke thatst shred of restraint that he ended up reprimanding him, "What am I to you Xieshu? Friend, boyfriend, future fiancee or a stranger? When you find the answer to that question you will understand why you should have told me. Call me then."


    Qie Ranzhe immediately cut the video call staring nkly at themunicator for a long time wondering if he was too excessive just now. He was so angry and needed to vent out his frustration.


    "Machu did you find Emperor Zhao''s base of operation?" asked Qie Ranzhe clenching his jaw. He needed to blow off steam by screwing someone over and the someone happened to be the emperor.


    "Ah.....yeah l did but didn''t you want to wait a bit longer beforeing after him?" asked a nervous Machu vexed by Qie Ranzhe''s fluctuation in mood. Wasn''t he all lovey dovey a moment ago?


    "Change in n. Contact the Serpentine eight and blow his shit up," said the Marshal swaggering out of the amoury leaving behind a confused Machu. Serpentine eight were a highly trained group of assassins under UPSF. If you wanted to start a war without exposing yourself these were the right guys for the job. Now Qie Ranzhe was using them as a means to screw with Emperor Zhao.


    Qie Ranzhe headed straight for the hangar messaging Xiao Hua asking for their coordinates. While waiting for his response, he settled into his warship known as Night Scourge which was the fastest warship in the entire universe well that is not counting Zhao Xieshu''s warship known as White Baine. He was heading off to find his omega and execute punishment equivalent to his offense.


    Meanwhile, Wen Qinxi was left dumbfounded by this situation. He didn''t expect Qie Ranzhe''s reaction to be this extreme. The question he was asked rang through his mind his gaze fixed on a nk space. What was he supposed to say? "You are my boss and I am trying to get you out of the game but I don''t want to be too emotionally involved with you as it will be hard for me when we go back to reality?"


    Wen Qinxi was still trying to figure out things when Xiao Hua sent him a message that they had arrived at thest. In a daze he took a quick shower before heading out with Meng Huangse to a dark grey with an eerie feeling to it sending chills down his spine. They had pinned pointed the longitude andtitude of where the fragment could possibly be thus a search range.


    Wen Qinxi was down there searching but you could tell his heart wasn''t in it his mind straying to what Qie Ranzhe said. He hated this feeling the most because he felt cornered.


    He was strolling through a vast marsnd with grass half as tall as his mecha while partially listening to the conversation happening in White Baine.


    "Don''t fuckin bring rodents again otherwise I will blow up that shitty," said Teng with a sickly pale face after being scared straight by Hauidan and his decapitated rat-like creature.


    "Bring one over and I will put it in her bed. That will teach her to never disrespect Xie Xie again," said Xiao Hua patting Hauidan''s shoulder.


    Feeling guilty for pushing Zhao Xieshu into the vent, Tong asked, "Do you need help? I cane down and ke-," that is until themunication channel was suddenly cut off. Wen Qinxi didn''t think much of it besides he was in sullen mood and needed space but what he didn''t realise was danger lurking beyond the marsnd.


    After searching for an eternity, he finally made some progress and found a huge part if the marsnd where the grass wasying t. It was obvious something big had been there ttening the grass but it had been removed. Someone had got there before him and took something that belonged to him. Panicked, Wen Qinxi tried to re-establishmunication but he kept getting an error message. Even Meng Huangse had been disabled with his mecha constantly showing error messages. It didn''t take a genius to know something was wrong but before he could get to higher ground and get a clearview of the marsnds, his head began to throb as his mecha''s air filter system failed.


    He struggled to hold his breath as an odorless gas seeped in making him feel light headed. It was carbon monoxide poisoning his system. He tried to move but the mecha suddenly felt heavy with his chest feeling constricted his lungs screaming in pain. This was it. Was he going to die on this grey cold all alone?


    With the little bit of strength he had left, he asked, "Jolie what''s going on?"


    The system did respond but he barely heard anything copsing to the ground. He wasn''t sure if it was an illusion but thest thing he saw was a mecha''s feet standing right before him.


    "Ran-ge, you came for me," he said before passing out.

 Chapter 139: Second World: Obsessed Pirate King

    Chapter 139: Second World: Obsessed Pirate King


    Admist the dark gloomy mist his mind filed with confusion, Wen Qinxi found himself back into the real world walking through the nostalgic city streets heading towards GameX. But something was different, the streets were still as grey as ever like a real urban jungle but this time it was devoid of people. It was as if he was the only one left in the world.


    A feeling of loneliness overwhelmed him as dragged his heavy footsteps towards the GameX office building, a ce that could be called his second home. For some reason he felt everything would be okay once he reaches thefort of those walls. Maybe it was because he spent a considerable amount of time within those walls or because he hoped Qie Ranzhe was there. Whatever the reason, nothing else mattered to him but to get to that building like his very existance dependant on it but with each step he took it seemed to go further and further away. In a panic, he tried to run but it was futile he couldn''t reach it regardless of how hard he tried or how fast he ran.


    With his body growing weaker by the minute he was about to abandon hope when he spotted a familiar figure. His eyes glowing like the morning sun, Wen Qinxi ran towards him calling out in excitement. This was his hope, this was his escape, this was Qie Ranzhe the man who was close yet far. He wanted to see him, he wanted to spend time with him but Qie Ranzhe''s face wasn''t so weing.


    His expression was distant, he didn''t know him neither did he love him. They were strangers from different statuses. Of course, how could Qie Ranzhe know him. He was foolishly engaging in flights of fancy but reality had struck his face hard in a gruesome way. Anxious he reached for his arm to try and jog Qie Ranzhe''s memory. Maybe if he told him everything they won''t be strangers anymore. Wen Qinxi wasn''t greedy, even if they can only be friends he was willing to take it so he exined. But it didn''t work, Qie Ranzhe kept on asking, "Who are you? I don''t know you. Don''t touch me."


    Pained, grim, hurt these were some of the words to describe Wen Qinxi''s feelings as he watched Qie Ranzhe walk away. Qie Ranzhe was really going to leave him alone in a deserted street. Wen Qinxi watch his disappearing figure with bloodshot eyes blinking away a tears. "I can''t cry. Man shouldn''t cry," he said to in deep exhales soothing himself. He just wanted to go home. Yes, all he had to do is go home and everything will be okay.


    Following a warm source of light, Wen Qinxi finally woke up from this depressing dream. His eyshes trembled as he struggled to open his heavy eyes.


    Every part of his body was sore. His arms, his legs, his eyes nothing was spared feeling like he had been hit by a steam train.


    "What the fuck?" he muttered to himself trying to get up but he couldn''t. Admist his struggle, he felt a soft cloth at the side of his face wiping away the tear streaming down his cheek. "Stay still, don''t move too much otherwise you will get hurt. I would hurt if your delicate wrists get bruised," said a gentle soothing voice but he couldn''t make out the person''s face as his vision was blurred. Wen Qinxi was a person who could barely conceal his true feelings so he dodged the cloth with a perplexed expression asking, "Who are you?"


    A joyous chuckle soon followed as the man said, "Xie Xie, I finally know your name. Don''t you remember me? Thest time we met you blew up two of my spaceships."


    This recollection made Wen Qinxi''s back stiffen when he realised who it was. It could only be Haidao the pirate king for the infamous Outset. "No, no, no don''t worry. I am not upset with you at all. It''s just that I finally found you. Do you know how hard to was for me to find you?"


    Wen Qinxi felt his spine tingle with his face deadly pale recognizing what kind of situation he was in. The kind of situation Zhao Huangzhi put him through in the first world just to get Qie Ranzhe''s attention. It was a simr situation involving a psycho but now the perpetrator was obsessed with him. His vision finally cleared up and he could now clearly see the pirate with a radiant smile. His eyes were dreamy with a deep shade of blue staring at Wen Qinxi''s face.


    It was only after the shock had worn off that he said, "What the hell are you thinking?"


    "I wanted to bring you home so I did. What, you don''t like it?" asked a disheartened Haidao.


    The pirate had actually kidnapped him and brought him to his house. Wen Qinxi was stunned by the man''s stupidity. Wouldn''t it be logical to transport the kidnapee to a secure location rather than his own home?


    "Let me go," said Wen Qinxi violently tugging at the ropes binding his wrists, "I don''t have time to fuckin y house with you."


    The pirate king seemed unfazed with a malicious grin that spoke volumes. "I have in my possession part of the spaceship you were looking for. I suggest you stay put otherwise you will never get it back. Just stay here with me and I promise that I''ll treat you better than that Marshal," he said brushing away the stray strands covering Zhao Xieshu''s face


    Wen Qinxi was scared shitless wondering what else this man knew. His entire wealth was in the hands of this pervert, a rookie at kidnapping, an idiot who would stupidly go against the entire Xianxi just to get his hands on him.


    This situation was too embarrassing, how could his sophisticated AI and all his technology be infiltrated by this guy. "AAAAHHHH! So fuckin troublesome," said Wen Qinxi feeling so ashamed. He had not seen thising and ording to the character''s memories the two never crossed paths so why the sudden change?


    "Oh, don''t be like that. I am actually a great guy. Will get to know each then you will realise I am a much better option than an alpha. I promise you won''t regret it," said Haidao with a look of determination on his face. From the first time heid eyes on Zhao Xieshu his desire to plunder flourished within him. He wanted him so he brought him home he just couldn''t wait to make him his and have sweet beta and omega babies.


    Wen Qinxi was both angry and frustrated. He wanted to beat the pirate to death but couldn''t because of the restraints, he could only re it him with the most fierce re he coulde up with but it was of little effect on this beta. In fact, Zhao Xieshu looked more alluring that the pirate dared think of taking a bite.


    "Ah! Too tempting.... You hungry? You must be hungry, right? I will go get you some food. Be good and I will bring you your favorite dessert, okay?" he said before hurrying out of the room with a flushed face.


    As soon as he heard the clicking sound of the door being locked, Wen Qinxi began to look around the room for something he could use to free himself while calling for the stupid system. "Jolie, what the hell is with you? Why didn''t you warn me before this psycho captured me?"


    Jolie had been messing with Xia Bai and Hei Bao earlier that it didn''t realise when that brazen pirate attacked Wen Qinxi. It couldn''t wait for its dear CEO toe and rescue the damsel in distress so they could fall in love and live happy ever after like in romance series.


    "Don''t be mad me. I can''t be watching you all the time. I have other things to d-," said the system but paused when it saw Wen Qinxi bound to a chair. It decided to cate him otherwise its dream to have apanion would be flushed down the drain.


    "Okay, okay. I am sorry. It was my fault. Good news though the Marshal is turning the universe upside down looking for you," said the system hoping to get a reward but none came. Instead, Wen Qinxi was even more panicked searching the room for something anything to cut the restraints but before he could find something to use the door was unlocked with his captive strolling in with a cloaked man.


    Wen Qinxi''s heart dropped faced by the man who almost killed Captain Rueda. This jerk that almost exposed his entire operation. Such an annoying cannon fodder. Wen Qinxi''s level of hostility rose from zero to a hundred in an instant.


    Feeling the shards of ice being shot towards his direction the cloaked man walked over with a bright smile. He was determined to get Zhao Xieshu under his wing but didn''t dare sort him out with the Marshal following the prince around like a love struck puppy. He patiently waited for the right opportunity which only came when Zhao Xieshu left Valim.


    After some extensive research and his knowledge of thete Empress, he figured were Zhao Xieshu was going. While Xianxi was searching on the other twos, the cloaked man was lucky enough to find the thing Zhao Xieshu was looking for first and sessfully set a trap for the prince. Why Zhao Xieshu was looking for debris of an old spaceship? He had no idea. All he knew was that it was important to Zhao Xieshu and now he had leverage against him.


    He already had an alliance with the pirate organization so he contracted them for this job but who knew the pirate leader actually had a thing for Zhao Xieshu and had been hunting him down for while now. Because of this he didn''t have to pay the pirates for their service as long as he let their leader do whatever he pleased with the omega.

 Chapter 140: Second World: Two Insane Idiots

    Chapter 140: Second World: Two Insane Idiots


    "You two are fuckin insane!" said Wen Qinxi flipping the table in anger. One wanted to force him to be his disciple and the force him to be his omega. Where was the logic in that? He had had enough and desperatly wanted to escape this ce otherwise if Qie Ranzhe found him first, it would prove the Marshal right.


    This would mean he would have to report his whereabouts at all times and might lose his freedom as the Marshal would insist for him to be watched at all times which would be troublesome.


    The two men looked at him dumbfounded questioning themselves as to who exactly was the captive here. They soon realised that this was going to be much more difficult than they thought.


    "You know, I was offering you a way out but now I would have to reconsider," said the mysterious cloaked man sauntering towards the bound prince with roguish expression. "I think you misunderstood me. You actually have no choice in the matter because I have your little mafia omega friends at the tip of my finger. One word to the emperor and you and your omega friends will be prosecuted. Do you know what sort of punishment omegas get for breaking thew?"


    Wen Qinxi''s expression was taunt as he was fully aware of what sort of barbaric punishment omegas got when they broke thew prescribed to only them. They were sent to what themoners called the baby factory which was a center for criminal omegas to produce at least two offspring through artificial insemination before they were executed.


    The masses didn''t retaliate over this unreasonablew because omegas rarely broke the rules which meant they were too few cases to protest over. If he hadn''t helped Captain Rueda fake her death, she would have been a victim of the baby factory.


    Seeing Zhao Xieshu didn''t respond, the cloaked man thought his threat was effective and carried on, "And lets not forget that spaceship fragment you have been looking for. I am sure it must be very important to you, right? Then be more sensible and take the deal."


    Wen Qinxi didn''t know whether tough or cry. He was being ckmailed by two idiots for apparently no good reason.


    Seeing that he wasn''t responding, the cloaked man was about to put final nail in the coffin when hismunicator suddenly rang.


    The person on the other side of the line was panickingly exining something which made it hard to understand so he tried to calm the other person down asking him to exin clearly. The voice through themunicator though inaudible to Wen Qinxi he caught two words which were base and fire.


    The corner of his mouth rose into a smirk thinking, ''Karma''s a bitch,'' while thanking the universe for sending the punisher to Emperor Zhao. The cloaked man naturally couldn''t stay any longer rushing to cate the emperor. But he had celebrated too soon as Haidao took the opportunity to finally make a move on him.


    He excitedly brought over some wonton noodle soup dragging a chair over to sit right next to him. In a boastful tone he said, "You know I made this myself," unhurriedly stirring the content of the bowl, "I bet the Marshal doesn''t know how to cook.....You know, I saw your video saying that he threw away the food you made for him. I would never do such a cruel thing like that to you. Instead I would cherish it and show the entire Valim Network that my heart belongs to you."


    "Wow, so romantic," replied Wen Qinxi in a sarcastic tone, "So would you also expose to the entire Valim Network how you took me hostage and force-fed me noodles as a confession of love to me?" in annoyance. He might be dense but people in love didn''t do that, right?


    Haidao had a sneaking suspicion that Zhao Xieshu was mocking his feelings and wasn''t the least bit pleased with that. His deep blue eyes turned dark and crazed as he pinched the prince''s chin forcing Zhao Xieshu to face him.


    "Haven''t I made myself clear? You belong to me so get with the program and behave or maybe....you are doing this to get my attention," said the enthusiastic pirate with a bone chilling grin, "Well this is good baby. You and I will soon have little beta and omega children running around the house. This way you will never leave me and learn to love me."


    Wen Qinxi''s brows creased hearing the c word exploding in rage. "Fuck! Who is having children with who? You must be out of your fuckin mind," said Wen Qinxi with a dark expression. He might be an omega in this world but he didn''t n on having a little dumpling and there was no way in hell that was happening.


    "You don''t want too?" asked Haidao his face crumpling, "Once you have them, you will love them and in turn you will love their dad too so will do that first. How does that sound?"


    If he said he wasn''t petrified then Wen Qinxi would be lying. He couldn''t even imagine what sort of method Haidao would resort to because he wasn''t willing. If only he could free himself then he could easily subdue the beta but he had to get out of these ropes first.


    "I am thirsty," said Wen Qinxi his expression listless staring at Haidao with his gorgeous watery eyes with a tint of red which were strangely alluring.


    Unable to resist his enchanting eyes, Haidao agreed to his request leaving the room in hurried footsteps. As soon as he was gone,Wen Qinxi moved with the chair looking around the room that seemed like a bedroom for anything that could help him cut the rope.


    After an endless struggle rummaging through the room his sight soon fell onto a vase that looked like an antique simr to the one the emperor threw at him before. It looked expensive but a mad idea creept in his mind. It was either he stayed here get drugged, raped and forced to bare children or break that ridiculously expensive vase. There was no question in that, the vase had to go. He immediately smashed the vase on the ground shattering it to bits before picking up the piece with the sharpest edge.


    At a fast pace with beads of sweat forming on his forehead he cut the rope identally cutting himself in the process but he could handle the pain as the pain that came from bearing children was more painful than a simple scratch.

 Chapter 141: Second World: Saving The Damsel In Distress

    Chapter 141: Second World: Saving The Damsel In Distress


    Wen Qinxi was soon done cutting the ropes in his wrist with only the ones on his ankles left which proved difficult to handle considering how much time it was taking to free himself though it was not as difficult as the first wrist he freed.


    With the first wrist he had to cut the rope with the vase shard in his mouth that is after begging the system to lower the pain index to mosquito bite level but unfortunately for him,the lowest pain setting was still equivalent to a girl menstrual period which was pure agony for Wen Qinxi.


    ''I am not fuckin having babies with anyone so fuck the pain,'' he said imagining the dumpling''s big heading out of his tiny parts. How can it not be painful? A hole a size of a coin giving birth to a grapefruit sized head, it had to be painful. Not willing to see his body ripped to shreds, he cut that rope like there was no tomorrow constantly thanking Mama Wen for being strong enough to push his and Wen Danzhe''s grapefruit heads out of her coin sized parts.


    ''I am going to fuckin buy her a mansion when am done and thank her for all her hardwork,'' he thought as soon as he freed the first wrist. His lips were cut, his fingers hadcerations by the time he was done with the second wrist but he toughened up enduring the pain already foreseeing his freedom.


    While cutting the rope off his ankle his mind strayed off coarse wondering why the sound of the breaking vase didn''t attract the pirate. Was this a sound proof room or maybe the kitchen was just too far. He soon got his answer that is when a loud bam sound hit against the door.


    Startled he quickly cut the rope off the first ankle and swiftly began to work on thest one. He had to defend himself otherwise things won''t end well for him. A second bam sound followed harsher than the first but this time the door cracked with Haidao''s battered body flying into the room.


    Wen Qinxi''s scalp grew numb as an eerie silence filled the room. There had to be a beast outside the door otherwise why would he be quivering in fright with his entire body covered in goosebumps.


    Afraid to be included in this mess, he cut thest ropepletely freeing himself but before he could celebrate, Haidao made a groaning sound wearing an ugly expression on his face. Frozen in ce, Wen Qinxi heard steady footsteps simr to those made by heavy boots lesurely treading into the room.


    The advantage of his pheromone suppressants was that he couldn''t sense alpha pheromones no matter how strong it was but this time something was different. He could feel subtle changes in his body as though something was actively trying to break the suppressant''s protective barrier. He could feel his blood heating up as though burning something that was holding back his body from being a regr omega. Like a cornered cat, Wen Qinxi''s ws came out ready to strike but he found his body weakening as though something was deliberately messing with his system.


    There had to be a vicious amount of alpha pheromones filling the air enough, vicious enough to shake the foundation of his ingenious never seen before suppressant. He vowed to have the professor re-engineer their omega suppressant as it seemed vulnerable to some alpha pheromone.


    As the footsteps drew closer, Wen Qinxi scurried behind the broken door holding a sharp shard of the broken pocein ready to stab whatever beast that would enter the room. Jolie wanted to warn him but this was between the two of them so it scampered away like a yellow belly.


    The footstep sounds halted right in front of Haidao who was still grimacing in pain on the floor giving Wen Qinxi an opportunity to attack and make a break for it but just as he swung his arm to stab the man''s neck his wrist was suddenly caught and violently pulled drawing him into the man''s embrace.His entire body was soon engulfed in the man''sforting warmth but the alpha pheromones from this person made him feverish worsening his condition as the omega pheromone suppressant was reaching its limit.


    His entire body was covered in a cold sweat his legs giving way like a cornered animal with no means of escape. Even if the odds weren''t in his favor he didn''t stop fighting trying to create some distance between them but he was soon held in ce by a strong arm wrapping around his waist. Wen Qinxi was terrified out his mind trembling in fright and the person holding him could sense it so he said, "Stay still for moment. I just want to hug you," in a deep yet soothing voice that had Wen Qinxi dropping his makeshift weapon to the ground.


    That familiar voice and scent calmed his nerves as an overwhelming sense of relief washed over him. Qie Ranzhe was burying his head in Zhao Xieshu''s neck his anxiety and fury cated by his omega''s essence. He was in route to White Baine''s coordinates when Xiao Hua contacted him in a panic informing him of Zhao Xieshu''s disappearance. Scared out of his mind he used every resource avable to him looking for the missing prince.


    Though calm on the surface his mind was in turmoil with an excruciating twisting pain in his heart. What would he do if he lost that person? How could he ever recover from losing his special person? In his moments of contemtion he realised he would rather die that not have that person by his side.


    Using the entirety of UPSF he soon found out that Zhao Xieshu was in the hands of Offset causing him to go ballistic wreaking havoc like a mad man. Initially, he had gone easy on them but now a fiery ze was burning within him which could only be quenched after burning Offset to the ground. He lit the entire universe on fire taking Offset down simtenously. Not even a simple cook was spared what more the pirate king, the orchestrator of this entire mess? The Pirate King aka Haidao would definitely not live to see another day.

 Chapter 142: Second World: No Love Without Risks

    Chapter 142: Second World: No Love Without Risks


    Wen Qinxi was at a lose for words nestling in Qie Ranzhe''s embrace. This feeling of being loved had his heart flutter with tears filling his eyes. He liked being held like this exchanging body heat with person who wouldn''t hesitate going to ends of universe for him. Qie Ranzhe didn''t have toe and save him but he did because he loved him.


    Having someone who could show him this kind of love, this kind of tenderness was a rare gem and the likelihood of having someone love him the way Qie Ranzhe did would be nearly impossible in this lifetime.


    So he made up his mind his hands embracing Qie Ranzhe drawing him closer with zero reluctance whatsoever. There is no love without risks and this was him taking a risk that could either have a good or bad ending.


    Nothing in this world could urately describe the joy in Qie Ranzhe''s heart. Zhao Xieshu had hugged him back with no ounce of resistance. What did this mean? Was the omega finally willing to fully ept him or he was just happy to have been rescued by him? Whatever it was Qie Ranzhe was grateful and couldn''t wait to start a new life with him and rule the entire universe.


    After half a candlestick of embracing the love of his life, Qie Ranzhe had to reluctantly part with him when he saw Haidao sit upright ring at the two people who were openly showing affection in his presence. "Am I fuckin invisible or something?" he said with a stream of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, "Hahaha of course, the omega falls for the alpha. What a boring love story."


    He was so bitter but what did it matter now? Zhao Xieshu didn''t notice him neither did he care choosing that troublesome Marshal who was a thorn in his eye. Though hurt, his heart still beat for Zhao Xieshu. Zhao Xieshu could never do wrong in his eyes. He had to get away from the Marshal, he had to live in hiding so when the timees, when the Marshal dumps Zhao Xieshu he would be ready to step in and give him a shoulder to lean on. Yes, he had to live, live for Zhao Xieshu.


    That might have been his way of thinking but the Marshal had no intentions of letting him leave this ce alive. It had to be in a body bag especially when he saw Zhao Xieshu''s cut lips and hands, the purple bruises on his wrists and ankles. How could he let Haidao walk out of here alive? Wouldn''t he have failed his duty in protecting his sweetheart?


    "Does it hurt?" asked Qie Ranzhe gazing down at the trembling bloody palms.


    He grabbed a handkerchief from his jacket pocket intending to wrap the prince''s palms and cover his wounds but Zhao Xieshu shook his head saying, "It does but I can manage," which was a lie. He was in excruciating pain but chose to be brave in front of him.


    Off course, the Marshal saw right through him but he didn''t want to expose him so he said, "Oh, let me take care of it first then I will deal with himst," he said pointing over at Haidao who felt his insides had been turned inside out.


    An armed soldier soon walked in carrying a medical kit before handing it over to the Marshal. Knowing what was good for him, he quietly scurried away without looking back. Wen Qinxi was urged to sit down by the gentle Marshal while taking out some stuff from the medical kit.


    A fascinated Wen Qinxi followed him with his eyes watching his every move which didn''t go unnoticed.


    Qie Ranzhe could feel Zhao Xieshu watching him like a hawk igniting his timid side. He pursed his lips pretending to seriously focus on treating the prince''s wounds but his ears sold him out. The tall man was actually blushing even going as far as being shy. Wen Qinxi recalled how he didn''t expose him earlier about feeling pain so he repaid the favor suppressing the urge to tease the bashful Marshal.


    Haidao waspelled to watch this lovey dovey scene between his love rival and his crush with a look of contempt on his face. He didn''t miss how slow and meticulous the Marshal treated Zhao Xieshu''s wounds which was obviously deliberate. Qie Ranzhe was obviously doing it on purpose so he could touch Zhao Xieshu''s hand. How could he stand for it?


    "Hey asshole, if you don''t know how to do it then let me do it," he said rolling his eye. He could do it better and faster than him thus the suggestion but it didn''t work out so well for him as Zhao Xieshu ruthlessly rejected his offer.


    "Don''t you fuckin touch me," said Wen Qinxi with a surge of anger resurfacing. This idiot had wasted his time now he messing up a harmonious moment. As soon as Qie Ranzhe was done dressing his wounds, he stood up ready to honour his promise which was to beat the pirate to death. But before he could do anything his was embraced around his waist from behind as Qie Ranzhe whispered something in his ear.


    "Don''t get your hands dirty. Daddy Ran will do it for you," whispered Qie Ranzhe with his warm breath brushing against Wen Qinxi''s delicate skin. A blush crept up from his ear all the way to his face swallowing hard in an attempt to conceal his excitement.


    "But.....h-he has something that belongs to me," stammered Wen Qinxi wishing he could bury his head in sand to cover up his embarrassment.


    "I will take care of it," replied Qie Ranzhe, his lips brushing against Zhao Xieshu''s already reddened neck.


    This was simply too much stimtion for Wen Qinxi. He felt the heat from his neck swiftly spread all over especially his unmentionable parts that had his mind thinking lewd thoughts. He had to run away before he embarrassed himself further. Qie Ranzhe was too dangerous to hang around and if this omega knew what was good for him, he had to get some personal space and calm himself down.


    "Fine," replied Wen Qinxi before hastily exiting the room.

 Chapter 143: Second World: Holdings Hands

    Chapter 143: Second World: Holdings Hands


    Ever since Wen Qinxi got back to Valim after being rescued by themander and chief, Qie Ranzhe, things were never the same again. Even though they hadn''t seen each other for five days, the two were chatting non-stop sending sweet nothings to each other making whoever was unfortunate enough to witness their lovey dovey moments stuffing them with a sugar overdose.


    In Xianxi base, Wen Qinxi had to work separately after being issuedints of public disturbance. This was because each time he got a video call from the Marshal it will be an endless stream of coquettishnguage that distracted the others from their work so Captain Rueda did everyone a favor by requesting he use his office instead.


    It wasn''t only the messages and video calls but also the gifts. The Marshal was famous in the entire universe for being a penny pencer but ever since the kidnapping incident, he showered Zhao Xieshu with gifts everyday ranging from flowers to a diamond crested watch. In return, Wen Qinxi sent him lunch with all his favorite things but best of all he granted the Marshal ess to his pavilion meaning the alpha didn''t have to knock walking straight in with no issues.


    Qie Ranzhe had asked him at that if he wasn''t concerned about his reputation and this was Wen Qinxi''s response, "What reputation are you talking about? I have no shred of it left so fuck reputation unless you want me to revoke your ess?"


    The Marshal began to sing a different tune after that saying, "I like you none the less so don''t revoke my ess," with a face as pitiful as a lost puppy.


    The reason why they hadn''t met was because Wen Qinxi was trying to figure out a grey cube box with the Chinese character for the Gu family. This box contained the coordinates of the he had been looking for. On the other hand, Qie Ranzhe had reports to submit concerning his decision to go after Offset in such a crude manner.


    Today was a bit different as Wen Qinxi decided to give himself a day off. He needed a new space to give him a fresh perspective to figure out the mystery of the cube box. He was preupied working in his secret room with a focused brooding countenance when the door suddenly slid open and in walked in the Marshal taking full advantage of his new privileges.


    Wen Qinxi suddenly regretted granting Qie Ranzhe ess to his secret room seeing him pop up with no warning. His eyes were fixated on the Marshal who was strolling in with a satisfied smile. The two stared at each other locking eyes in a prolonged gaze with neither of them saying a word. Qie Ranzhe''s eyes were like a gentle clearke with the rising sun reflecting off it''s surface, beautiful and sincere. Wen Qinxi was yet again a victim of these dazzling eyes his heart jolting in excitement.


    Clearing his throat to alleviate the awkward tension, Wen Qinxi asked, "Why are you here?" averting his gaze while thinking, ''What the fuck its barely ten in the morning.''


    Qie Ranzhe sat beside him that''s after dragging another chair towards him. He missed the prince and wanted to be by his side even if it was for an hour. He hade over to Xianxi base which Zhao Xieshu had also given him ess too but he was surprised when he heard the prince wasn''ting in today so he decided to take a long overdue trip to the pce and pay his omega a visit.


    "I missed you," he answered honestly, "and I wanted to see you," with his hand rubbing Zhao Xieshu''s back in a soothing manner as though trying to appease him.


    Wen Qinxi''s attention riveted on Qie Ranzhe contemting on whether to say the words stuck at the tip of his tongue or not. After seconds of thinking it through he finally said, "I missed you too," in a low voice that a regr person would have to ask him to repeat his himself but Qie Ranzhe was not a regr person.


    He heard every word giving him butterflies in his tummy while reaching out to hold Zhao Xieshu''s hand.


    The feeling of holding hands was a new experience for the Marshal making him feel sexy and wanted. He especially enjoyed it vowing to do it more often.


    "Wanna y a game?" asked Wen Qinxi trying to distract himself from the anxious feeling that came with being alone with Qie Ranzhe in an enclosed space.The events of thest world had a tendency of reying in his brain whenever he thought of the Marshal. Wen Qinxi could barely trust himself not to pounce on him when they were alone.


    "Mn, what kind of game?" he asked leaning in so close you did think he wanted to kiss Zhao Xieshu''s cheek.


    Wen Qinxi took out two pistols and ced one in front of each of them. "Disassemble and reassemble this weapon and let''s see whose faster," said Wen Qinxi confident in his own ability.


    Qie Ranzhe''s lips curved up in a tremulous smile while taking the one ced in front of him. After Weasel, the weapons'' expert returned the weapon Qie Ranzhe familiarized himself with it but he wasn''t sure if he could beat Zhao Xieshu. Even if he lost a thousand times to the prince he didn''t care as long as he could spend time with him so he yed along having fun with the prince.


    As expected Wen Qinxi won as this pistol was like an extension of his arm. "Marshal are you impressed by my unparalleled skills?" asked Wen Qinxi with dash of pride resounding in his voice.


    "Yes, Xieshu is so great. How about I take you to the shooting range tomorrow and you can show off your mad skills," said the Marshal moving his hand under the desk in a hesitant manner contemting on whether to hold Zhao Xieshu''s hand again or not.


    Wen Qinxi would obviously love to break the Marshal''s record. If they could go now he would with a spring in his step. "Sure, I would love that.....Soooo.....are you going to tell me what you did to Haidao?" This wasn''t a new question as Wen Qinxi had asked this question so many times but couldn''t get a straight answer out of Qie Ranzhe. This was his forth time asking hoping for an answer as Qie Ranzhe seemed to be in a good mood.

 Chapter 144: Second World: Supressant Saga

    Chapter 144: Second World: Supressant Saga


    Qie Ranzhe decided to take advantage by acting spoilt embracing Zhao Xieshu''s waist while whispering in his ear, "I don''t want to dirty your ears," reying in his mind the gruesome things he did to that pirate king. After Zhao Xieshu left that day Qie Ranzhe kicked Haidao hard in his stomach till the pirate started to y dead. Not only that but he broke five of his ten fingers that is after cutting his face for each cut in Zhao Xieshu''s body. He then threw him in the worst maximum security prison in the entire universe subjected to re-education that is the kind of re-education to force him to get over Zhao Xieshu. If he so much as thought of Zhao Xieshu his brain would be subjected to electrocution not enough to kill but enough for him to beg for death.


    This side of him was the one he was concealing from Zhao Xieshu which is why he didn''t answer his question truthfully. He was afraid Zhao Xieshu would be terrified of him and dump him which is what he was most afraid of.


    "He''s in jail, he won''t bother you ever again rest assured. Baby believe me you don''t want to know the details," he said trying to coax Zhao Xieshu but his n backfired. First of all this was the first time Wen Qinxi was called baby but why did it have to be in this kind of situation making Wen Qinxi feel as though he was being patronized. Secondly, Wen Qinxi felt like he was the only one openly sharing his world with the Marshal but Qie Ranzhe seemed to draw a line when it came to his world which made him feel ill at ease.


    Annoyed, Wen Qinxi stood up to leave otherwise he might say something he will regret but just as he took a step forward, Qie Ranzhe grasped his wrist tugging him with a little force making him sit on hisp.


    Wen Qinxi found his legs dangling either side of the chair facing Qie Ranzhe while sitting on hisp. He wanted to protest but as soon as he opened his mouth, Qie Ranzhe nted his lips on Wen Qinxi''s with his tongue sensually teasing the omega''s lips as though seeking permission.


    Still in shock, Wen Qinxi found himself weing Qie Ranzhe''s advances letting the Marshal do as he pleased with him. Wen Qinxi''s lips were kissed swollen as the crazed Marshal deepened the kiss with his unruly hands slipping into Zhao Xieshu''s t-shirt.


    A moan escaped Wen Qinxi''s throat as the thrilling sensation spread from his lower back that was being caressed by Qie Ranzhe to the rest of his body. Under the alpha''s provocation, Wen Qinxi found himself carelessly grinding against Qie Ranzhe''s body begging for more. Qie Ranzhe delivered drawing him closer with his moist tongue toying with the prince''s.


    This was definitely getting out of hand with half of Wen Qinxi''s t-shirt riding up as Qie Ranzhe''s shameless hands mindlessly inched towards Zhao Xieshu''s chest heading straight for the pink nipples that seemed to yearn for him begging to be addressed. Being met with no resistance, Qie Ranzhe proceeded to caress and pinch them his lips sucking on the prince''s neck marking his territory.


    Wen Qinxi shuddered at his touch with waves of indescribable pleasure coarsing through his body rousing an insatiable crazed beast seeking more than just a mere touch. Everything was going well that is until Qie Ranzhe ruined it whispering, "When will you get off your supressnts. I want to fuck you under the spell of your sweet pheromones," in a moment of weakness.


    Wen Qinxi''s body stiffened like a bucket of cold water had been poured all over his body on a snowy night. Angered by his words, Wen Qinxi stopped responding to his touches wanting to get off hisp immediately. No suppressant meant three days of being useless relying in Qie Ranzhe for everything while being fucked senseless. Estrus was a cruel thing and he didn''t intend on sleeping with Qie Ranzhe under the control of pheromones. They could still enjoy each other without pheromones being involved so why did he have to bring this up now?


    Seeing that the person on hisp wasn''t responding, Qie Ranzhe began to doubt his skills. ''Wasn''t he enjoying it a moment ago?'' he thought vexed by this entire situation.


    "Xieshu, did I do something wrong?" he asked but Wen Qinxi responded by getting off hisp before hurriedly exiting the room. Qie Ranzhe followed behind him with the bulge in his pants softening at light speed matching his anxious mood.


    He followed him all the way to the bedroom but the door was suddenly mmed shut in his face leaving a lonely Marshal standing behind the locked door. He wished he could break down the door and get Zhao Xieshu to speak to him but that was impossible as the pce doors were reinforced.


    "Okay, I will give you some space. Contact me when you are ready to talk," he said before walking out of the pavilion heading for the nearby UPSF base.


    "So annoying. What so good about doing it with pheromones anyway? Who wants to be marked and possibly fall pregnant with his boss in a game? Why can''t people in this world do it like normal humans?" said a somewhat calm Wen Qinxi sprawled on the bed.


    "You are such a fuckin wuss you know that? His request isn''t excessive yet you are treating him like he just asked you to murder someone. Aren''t you fuckin curious about what the whole fuss is about, huh?" replied Jolie who wasn''t even supposed to be here in the first ce.


    "Wait, wait.....Where you here the entire time? Did you see everything?" asked Wen Qinxi realising he hadpletely forgot the system''s presence lost in a moment of bliss.


    "Yeah, of course I was here. Weren''t you the one scolding me for not being by your side all the time?" said the system not impressed by Wen Qinxi''s wishy washy attitude.


    "Fuck no! You better run far away otherwise I willunch gship without you recing you with the so-calledpanion you have been begging for," said Wen Qinxi wishing the system had a physical form so he could p some sense into it venting his frustration.


    "Okay, okay no need to take things that far. I am leaving but think about what I said," it said before quickly disappearing just in case Wen Qinxi changed his mind.


    The system had a point, he shouldn''t have run off like that but he really wasn''t down for the whole estrus thing but since he had decided to go all out with Qie Ranzhe, it meant all out which meant everything including estrus. He had to let Qie Ranzhe know they were good so he wrote him a message exining his actions.


    Qie Ranzhe was busy venting his frustration on his subordinates being so overbearing that not even Machu was spared. In the past, he would been scratching his head trying to figure out what was eating at the Marshal but ever since he overheard Qie Ranzhe''s conversation with Zhao Xieshu, he now understood. Qie Ranzhe throwing tantrums at the base was asymptomatic of him suffering from matters of the heart.


    To quickly resolve the matter, all he had to do was call Zhao Xieshu to fix it just as it got too unbearable but as the thought crossed his mind Qie Ranzhe suddenly went back to normal smiling foolishly at hismunicator. It read,


    NaughtyPrince: Wait till we are married and I will abandon the suppressant.


    Qie Ranzhe raised his head with radiant smile asking a vexed Machu, "What''s the fastest way for one to get married?"


    Machu, "....."

 Chapter 145: Second World: How To Rob Another Omegas Alpha

    Chapter 145: Second World: How To Rob Another Omega''s Alpha


    Zhao Huangzhi silently watched the Marshal like a creepy stalker in middle of the night. Her grim eyes followed him as he walked out of Zhao Xieshu''s pavilion. She wanted to lurch onto to him and tightly embrace him so he would never leave. In her fantasies this n would work, Qie Ranzhe would love her to the end of time his eyes fixed on her alone.


    But she couldn''t go to him. Why couldn''t she? It was because her mother forbade it. The Empress strictly forbade her as it would interfere with her ns but Zhao Huangzhi was distraught. She could no longer handle the gut wrenching pain she felt each time she saw the announcement on Valim Network and now she had to silently endure watching him walk out of that slut''s house. She had to fix it and fix it fast before it was toote.


    In hurried footsteps, she arrived at her mother''s chambers weeping as though someone had died. ''Mother has to fuckin fix this right now!'' she thought wailing at her mother''s feet. "Mother....wh-what should I do? How can l deal with this pain? Do so-something....I be-beg of you," she said her voice brittle choking on her tears.


    Empress Wuzhishu was distressed seeing her beautiful daughter, the crown jewel of the universe gravely to the ground heartbroken. She knew who caused her daughter such grievances intending to make them pay. That hoe''s son had to pay for stealing her daughter''s first love. She wouldn''t just sit idle watching history repeat itself so she came up with a well thought out n.


    Her initial n was to talk it out with her husband and make him see the error in his decision but the emperor wasn''t upset in the slightest. In fact, he was happy saying this was his way of attaining power. Soon Zhao Xieshu would drag the Marshal''s name through the mud and straight into a pit difficult to climb back from which meant Qie Ranzhe would lose the powerful families'' confidence and be reced as Marshal. This meant Emperor Zhao would set his n in motion and acquire full control of UPSF fleet. He could already taste sweet victory but had to put his wife on a leash otherwise she would ruin his n.


    The Empress barely understood what her husband was yammering on about neither did she try and understand it. All she knew was phase one of her n was ruined so she had no choice but to implement phase two. The n was already thought through but hadn''t been set in motion as yet when Zhao Huangzhi came in crying voicing her grievances. Watching her daughter suffering like this she decided to do something about it as it was unbearable for a mother to see her daughter cry this much.


    "Okay, I understand. Don''t cry, mummy will sort everything out, okay?" she said while stroking her daughter''s hair with a brooding expression, "just listen to mummy and everything will be sorted."


    Like spoilt child, Zhao Huangzhi nod her head in a agreement before saying, "Now, I want you to fix it no-,"


    "Mum I need...to.....um," said a hesitant Prince Lazhie who walked into such a scene. His annoying sister was crying like a paid mourner at a funeral with their mother gently coaxing her.


    Zhao Huangzhi red at with eyes full of disdain yelling, "Get the fuck out! Can''t you see we are busy!"


    Zhao Lazhie, "...."


    "It''s okay sweetie don''t bother with your brother. Mummy will take of it right away. Soon the Marshal will be all yours," said the Empress beckoning her son to leave.


    Zhao Lazhie didn''t have to be told twice running off while thinking, ''Xie-dage is much more bearable than that evil woman....those two are so scary when they''re scheming something.''


    He hadn''t gone far before he pausing in his tracks. This was a golden opportunity, a once in a lifetime kind of opportunity. Wouldn''t Zhao Xieshu be forever indebted to him if he informed him of the impending danger in advance? With that in mind he rushed over to Zhao Xieshu''s pavilion knocking impatiently as he didn''t want to be seen by others as this would get him in trouble.


    Irritated, Wen Qinxi hoped the door asking rudely, "What?" but he was soon struggling with Zhao Lazhie who was bulldozing his way into Zhao Xieshu''s house. Zhao Lazhie squeezed in his head saying,


    "Dage....leeetttt meeeee in," surprised that Zhao Xieshu was actually strong.


    "You brat! You better say what you want to say outside because there''s no way in hell am letting you in," said Wen Qinxi shoving his big head out the door while messing up his hair which was Zhao Lazhie''s weakness.


    "AAAAAHHHHH! Xie-dage why are you so mean?" cried out Zhao Lazhie fixing his disheveled hair, "see, you fuckin ruined it. I was here to do a good deed but now l don''t feel like it anymore."


    As soon as he said that he turned on his heel to leave but Zhao Xieshu yelled after him saying, "Wait!" before going back in the house for a few minutes. When he came back he was holding a glowing fragment of Xianore crystal a vital mineral in operating machinery throughout the universe.


    Once Zhao Lazhie saw what was in Zhao Xieshu''s hand his eyes light up like a christmas tree rushing over to grab it before his half brother changed his mind.


    "I heard father refused to give you Xianore for your new mecha. So here, now spill it," said Wen Qinxi folding his arms across his chest all nonchnt. He was certain the brat wouldn''t rat him out based on Zhao Lazhie''s personality. The boy was more grateful and easy to manipte than Zhao Huangzhi that''s why he gave it to him.


    "Xie-dage where did you get this from? AH! Dage tell me so I can get more," he said beaming like a kid that had just received the gift he asked for from Santa.


    "You think I go out just to party and not make connections? Your information better be worth it otherwise you will owe me," replied Wen Qinxi curious to know what sort of good deed the kid was referring to.


    "Xie-dage, you are much more beautiful than Huan-jie and l believe you deserve to be with the Marshal," said Zhao Lazhie his eyes fixated on the gorgeous Xianore in his hands. He could finally soar the skies again all thanks to Zhao Xieshu though forgetting it was the same Zhao Xieshu who got him grounded in the first ce. See, easy to manipte.


    "Go on," said Wen Qinxi unfazed by his insincere ttery.

 Chapter 146: Second World: How To Rob Another Omegas Alpha 2

    Chapter 146: Second World: How To Rob Another Omega''s Alpha 2


    Zhao Lazhie finally raised his head facing his omega brother. He truly believed Zhao Xieshu was more enchanting than his sister and his personality more refreshing to the eye but he would never say that out loud lest he gets into trouble.


    "Watch your back. I overheard mum and Huan-jie nning something. She said the Marshal would soon belong to Huan-jie," said Zhao Lazhie his tone of voice simr to that of a person seeking praise for a job well done.


    Wen Qinxi wanted tough but couldn''t. Whatever evil scheme those two were nning didn''t faze him in the slightest. These were thest efforts of a dying fish out of water flipping up and down for nothing. He wasn''t worried neither was he concerned so he brushed it off.


    "Okay, now scram," said Wen Qinxi closing his door. Zhao Lazhie wanted to say something but kept his mouth shut. Even he had to admit, Zhao Xieshu was cool.


    Wen Qinxi didn''t think much of it that is until the next morning when pictures of the Marshal and Zhao Huangzhi in bed flooded Valim Network. Qie Ranzhe was sleeping peacefully with his bottom half covered in a quilt and Zhao Huangzhi was lying in his embrace with visible lovebites all over her body. The caption on these images attempted to exin the image as ''omega princess idental estrus causing the entirework to explode withments from the entire Valim empire.


    OvsO: Yet again another alpha lends a helping hand to an omega in estrus deserting his betrothal. Pathetic

    CuteOmegaddict: Zoom in on image. Is that a fuckin bite mark at the back of Zhao Huangzhi''s neck?????


    Wiseman56: The Marshal has no choice. He has to marry Zhao Huangzhi


    Shortly after the abovement an error simr to a 404 error appeared on all he sites containing the lewd images. The Marshal sessfully took down all the sites but the damage was already done. No matter how many times he called Zhao Xieshu, the omega wasn''t epting his calls that is until his number was cklisted for ten years. Distressed with an ashen face he set off for the pce to talk things out with Zhao Xieshu.


    ***


    Wen Qinxi had been reading through thements with a stern face when he also got a 404 simr message. The site was nolonger avable. He tsked sprawled on the bed wondering how he was going to punish Qie Ranzhe. Judging from his face he was neither angry no heart broken just disappointed.


    How did the most powerful man in the entire empire get fooled by two women? After the news came out, he did a thorough investigation and knew exactly what happened the previous night, it was all a set up and he had overestimated the Marshal''s capabilities. The man was obviously naive when it came to Zhao Huangzhi thus he needed to be taught a lesson otherwise today''s events would repeat themselves.


    While he was thinking of a suitable punishment he was summoned to Amaryllis Pavilion for a family meeting he didn''t even want to attend. When he reached the private living room, Empress Wuzhishu and Zhao Huangzhi were already seated indulging themselves witha bottle of expensive proso celebrating their victory.


    Wen Qinxi respectfully greeted them and sat at the opposite side of the coffee table that is after pouring himself a ss full of the sparkling wine. Zhao Xieshu''s tranquil demeanor wiped the smiles off the two women''s faces. His aura was as cool as ever with no traces of crying or frustration. This behavior was vexing in their eyes.


    Wen Qinxi took a sip of proso before asking, "What are we celebrating?" in an indifferent tone whilezily sitting on the couch.


    Seeing how full Zhao Xieshu''s ss was with her expensive wine she spat out, "Do you know how expensive that bottle of proso is yet you pour an entire ss drinking it like you''re drinking water? Plus who gave you permission to take some?"


    Wen Qinxi chuckled at her words before guzzling down the entire ss in one go. "Expensive indeed but do you know the money you used to buy this so-called luxurious wine was paid for by the Gu family fortune?"


    Blood drained from Empress Wuzhishu''s face turning pale at his provocative words. It was no secret to her that her husband was using histe wife''s family wealth for them to afford such avish lifestyle. Tax money alone wouldn''t sustain this kind of lifestyle and if the Gu family fortune wasn''t there they wouldn''t be sipping such expensive proso with floating gold kes.


    "You!" she said but failed to voice out her anger as she couldn''t refute his words, "Zhao Xieshu you truly have be bolde and disrespectful. You think I can''t punish you just because you are that hoe''s child?"


    Wen Qinxi despised such vile people but never got the chance to do some face pping so today he nned on face pping at a massive scale and teach these women a lesson. He grabbed the entire bottle and drank two mouthfuls before pushing it back to the Empress saying, "Don''t waste any of it or I will personally reduce your allowance because other than your husband, I also have ess to cash flow and I can change it however I wish," in a voice that seemed serene yet menacing.


    "Zhao Xieshu, I will kill you!" she screamed but it was precisely at that moment that Qie Ranzhe made his appearance his presence calming the Empress down.


    Zhao Huangzhi who had been silently watching the heated exchange between the two suddenly sprung up dashing towards the Marshal but Qie Ranzhe dodged his eyes as cold as the south pole pacing towards Zhao Xieshu.


    Sad but also happy they would soon be getting married, Zhao Huangzhi didn''t mind him giving her a cold shoulder. Once they are married he would open up to her and see how much of a better option she was than Zhao Xieshu.


    Qie Ranzhe was obviously the least bit concerned for Zhao Huangzhi sitting next to the prince who didn''t even spare him a nce. Though calm it was only on the surface. His breathing was rapid and shallow, heart palpitating apanied by an agonizing chest pain his gaze glued on Zhao Xieshu''s side profile.


    The prince was evidently shutting him out seeming cold and cavalier about the entire situation. After years of knowing Zhao Xieshu this was the first time he acted this way towards him. Desperate, he subtly moved his hand to touch Zhao Xieshu''s that was ced on the couch near him. He seemed to believe a simple touch would determine were they stood. That touch would tell him whether he was going to be dumped or forgiven.


    Just as his hand reached Zhao Xieshu''s the prince took his hand away in a unfeeling churlish manner leaving behind a bereft Marshal facepalmming in frustration. His hatred for Zhao Huangzhi reached an entirely new level. If he couldn''t reconcile with Zhao Xieshu, the first person to die in his hands would be her.

 Chapter 147: Second World: Taking Responsibility for Huangzhi

    Chapter 147: Second World: Taking Responsibility for Huangzhi


    Wen Qinxi''s body stiffened when Qie Ranzhe walked into the living room igniting sparks of anger but it was manageable manifesting itself in his sullen mood. All this while, he was rather sad than angry but the moment the Marshal entered the room Wen Qinxi suddenly felt angry puzzling even himself.


    When Zhao Huangzhi pranced over to the Marshal in a flirtatious manner, Wen Qinxi neither looked nor did he want to look clenching his jaw while staring into space.


    Later on when Qie Ranzhe tried to reach for his hand he subconsciously rejected him by moving his hand onto hisp refusing to look at the Marshal even for a split second. Qie Ranzhe felt a knot in the pit of his stomach being rejected this way heightening his anxiety as his fingers painfully dug into his palms till his knuckles turned white.


    "We are waiting for the emperor but we can start discussing the way forward," said a proud empress Wuzhishu while beckoning a servant to take away the bottle of proso tainted by Zhao Xieshu but Wen Qinxi stopped her grabbing the bottle before drinking three more mouthfuls.


    "I will make sure to dock that from your monthly allowance," said Wen Qinxi after cing the bottle back on the coffee table his lethal stare fixed on Empress Wuzhishu. Being looked at that way sent chills down her spine with an overwhelming sense of danger which was incredibly familiar. She had felt the same way when she faced off with Gu Xiejie, Zhao Xieshu''s mother years ago and now she was facing off with that woman''s son.


    Qie Ranzhe riveted his gaze on Zhao Xieshu who remained cold and indifferent towards him. He felt like having a drink to help cope with his anxiety so he took the same bottle Zhao Xieshu had ced on the coffee table and directly drank from it in full view of everyone. The Zhao women stared at the Marshal in disbelief. The clean freak Marshal who refused to eat food from his own sister''s spoon was somehow cured drinking from the bottle tainted by Zhao Xieshu. Zhao Huangzhi wanted to tell him it was dirty and that he shouldn''t drink from it but her mother pinched her thigh as a sign to keep her mouth shut.


    "I believe you have all seen the image circting throughout the entire Valim empire and am sure we can all agree on what has to be done. The Marshal naturally has to take responsibility and marr-," exined the Empress before she was cut off by Zhao Xieshu''s hysterical chuckle that terrified Jolie, Xia Bai and Hei Bao who were listening in after the system informed them of an impending dog blood drama.


    "Oh I see...so this is the reason why you called me all the way here?....So you two," he said pointing at the Marshal and Zhao Huangzhi, "slept together andpleted the marking process so now you are eternally devoted to each other, is that right?"


    Zhao Huangzhi, "Yes,"


    Qie Ranzhe, "No," they responded simultaneously with two different answers with Qie Ranzhe staring at Zhao Xieshu with eyes that seemed to say ''you believe me, right?'' but it was pointless as Wen Qinxi didn''t even look in his direction with a nk expression.


    "Hahaha.....oh, wow. Two people, the only witnesses can''t seem to agree on one simple thing. It''s either it happened or it didn''t so whose lying?....Actually, based on the Marshal''s vibe towards you," pointing at Zhao Huangzhi, "his telling the truth. He didn''t do anything to you but you on the other end...did everything to him, didn''t you?"


    "So fuckin delusional. Didn''t you see the marks on my body? Look at the back of my neck. Does it look like he didn''t do anything to me?" she said opening up her cor exposing the two red marks behind her neck that resembled a bite mark, "you see? He fuckin marked me so now we have to get married and the sooner you ept it the better."


    The sparks of rage from earlier on seemed to have been fueled into arge scale zing rage with Wen Qinxi''s heart rate skyrocketing triggering a warning in the game room. His physical response was also affecting his body causing the two nerds to panic forcing open amunication channel to calm him down.


    ''Qi-ge you need to rx. Your heart rate is above 150 beats per minute. You have to calm down,'' said a panicked Hei Bao while Xia Bai was calling Machu toe take a look.


    Wen Qinxi heard him but didn''t pay much attention to him glowering at the faint bite mark she was parading around like a world cup trophy. It was time to drag her off her high horse in monstrous way and unveil the real Zhao Huangzhi to the entire empire.


    "You know what I like the most? It''s father''s perverted privacy policy that citizen rights activists have been fighting against for years. That same policy allowed me to see every single move you two women did that day," he said with a malicious grin stered on his face as he yed the gathered footage from his investigation in 5D format, "You see? Even when you think no one is watching, daddy dearest is and don''t forget to thank himter for today''s showcase."


    The footage clearly showed that Qie Ranzhe left his office in perfect condition but once he stepped into his vehicle something bad happened. The car arrived at a hotel were Zhao Huangzhi had some man lead the then passed out Marshal to a room after booking the entire hotel all to herself. The Empress soon joined them with a man wearing a green spa uniform holding some kind of tool box. The privacy policy that Wen Qinxi mentioned bridged people''s privacy situating surveince cameras in areas where one would expect to be private.


    These cameras were intended for emergencies purposes only for instance if a crime wasmitted then the investigation bureau would seek permission from the emperor''s office to review the footage.


    For Xianxi, it was a piece of cake hacking the system to illegally acquire the footage which showed how Zhao Huangzhi created an illusion of love bites by using cupping therapy courtesy of the spa expert brought in by Empress Wuzhishu. As for the so-called marking at her nape those were needle track marks which she insisted on. From the video one could tell it was extremely painful but the princess endured to get the love of her life. Wen Qinxi had to give it to her, Zhao Huangzhi wasmitted to her act so much so that she thought of everything. All she had to do was lie in a shirtless Qie Ranzhe''s embrace posing for a few snap shots and wait for him to wake up.

 Chapter 148: Second World: Taking Responsibility For Huangzhi 2

    Chapter 148: Second World: Taking Responsibility For Huangzhi 2


    The Empress'' face was riddled with shame but Zhao Huangzhi''s was flushed in anger. Her wless n had clearly been seen through by that freak of an omega ruining everything. She desperately wanted to strangle him but retrained herself lying through her teeth. "Ran-ge this footage obviously doctored. Don''t believe this slut''s lies," she said reaching out to touch Qie Ranzhe''s arm but Wen Qinxi lost it tossing the empty proso bottle in between them before it smashed aganist the wall shattering into a million pieces. Zhao Huangzhi flinched her face pale in shock while Empress Wuzhishu screamed her lungs out terrified of Zhao Xieshu.


    Wen Qinxi had been angry so many times earning him the title of firecracker from his mother and brother but this kind of burning rage was new to him. His fingers were uncontrobly shaking with purple veins bulging on the side of his neck. His bloodshot eyes emitting an unmistakable kill intent like he was going to end Zhao Huangzhi at this very moment.


    Qie Ranzhe felt an overpowering churn in the pit of his stomach. He wanted to appease Zhao Xieshu and let him know he will never leave him but based on the omega''s temperament he knew touching Zhao Xieshu right now would further infuriate him. His heart hurt for Zhao Xieshu and it was all because of him.


    "You used my fuckin name to get to him yet im innocence. You know what," he said tapping on hismunicator fiddling with something.


    "What are you doing?" said a panicked Zhao Huangzhi her eyes brimming with tears shaking in rage.


    "Oops, my hand slipped but it''s a good thing, right? At least now the entire universe can judge whether its fake or not," said Wen Qinxi with a sinister smirk as hezily leaned back on the couch.


    Zhao Huangzhi and the Empress were fraught with anger. All their misdeeds had been publicized and soon the entire empire will know what they did to the Marshal.


    "Zhao Xieshu you bitch.....your hand didn''t slip. You fuckin did it on purpose. We all saw that," yelled Zhao Huangzhi tossing couch cushions at him, "Ran-ge my reputation is ruined by that witch. You have to help me. Take responsibility for me. We have always got along together so what can stop us from having a harmonious marriage. I love you Ran-ge and I will do anything so long as I end up with you," her pitiful cries loud enough to be heard from the outside that any passerby would think she was being bullied.


    Qie Ranzhe was about to shut her down but Wen Qinxi tightly gripped his elbow saying, "He belongs to me so he can''t take responsibility for your actions...Qie Ranzhe do you want to take responsibility for her?"


    A definite and resolute no came from the Marshal urging Zhao Xieshu to continue, "There you have it. Even he feels he shouldn''t have to take responsibility so fuck off!" he said ready to take his leave. This discussion was obviously pointless and he had already said what he needed to say but before he stood up Zhao Huangzhi suddenly panicked and flung her half full ss of proso to his face. Her action came unexpected but Zhao Xieshu''s reaction was even more unexpected.


    From the game room Machu had finished checking on Wen Qinxi his heart rate soaring towards 250 bpm living him no choice but to try and talk him into calming down.


    ''Gecko, can you hear me? It''s just a game don''t let yourself get this worked up.'' said Machu in a soothing tone but it was barely effective.


    Wen Qinxi wasn''t listening to anyone yelling, "Just because you are girl you think I won''t kick the crap out of you? We are both omegas so I can beat the shit out of you and teach you some manners,'' he saidunching forward with his fist powerful enough to break Zhao Huangzhi''s jaw but Qie Ranzhe suddenly pulled him into his embrace just in time. Because of this sudden move, Wen Qinxi lost his footing falling straight into Qie Ranzhe''s chest but he didn''t concern himself with that cursing at Zhao Huangzhi with no restraint. The atmosphere was so intense that the guards outside dared not intervene unless asked.


    Wen Qinxi hadpletely lost it with the Marshal facing him while embracing his waist attempting to calm him down but Wen Qinxi kept looking over Qie Ranzhe''s shoulder firing insults at Zhao Huangzhi. The princess wasn''t quiet either calling his mother vulgar names and tossing her shoe at him when she got outsmarted by Zhao Xieshu.


    This carried on for thirty seconds and would have gone on longer if Emperor Zhao hadn''t shown up. Qie Ranzhe immediately turned around to face Emperor Zhao while hiding Zhao Xieshu behind his back in a protective stance. The emperor was livid but because he was terrified of the guard dog Marshal, he didn''t scold Zhao Xieshu just stating the facts further infuriating Zhao Huangzhi and Empress Wuzhishu.


    "As I have said several times before, Zhao Huangzhi can''t marry into the Qie Family. My decision is final...now look what sort of shame you have brought to the royal family. Huan Huan why don''t listen to fa-," said Emperor Zhao struggling to suppress his anger before Zhao Huangzhi rudely cut him off.


    "You are so fuckin biased. Just because his mother had money you let him marry the love of my life. Is it my fault that my mother''s family doesn''t have a fuckin cent, huh? Why didn''t just kill the bastard when his mother died. Wouldn''t have that saved you the trouble of raising such a troublemaker? Mother is right, you are fuckin weak," said Zhao Huangzhipletely out of her mind. That was the only possible exnation why she dared to speak such words to the emperor.


    Empress Wuzhishu tried to shut her daughter''s mouth by tugging her elbow but Zhao Huangzhi shrugged her arm away ready to spit out more venomous words. "Don''t fuckin touch me, if you weren''t too poor it would have been me marrying the Marshal right now," she said to her mother before turning to face her father, "are you going to make him marry me or you did rather be a coward?"


    Emperor Qie scowled ring at his daughter. The words obedient, sweet and delicate always came up when he thought of his daughter who would marry into a big family and stabilize his power for his sons when they take over in the future but these words didn''t apply anymore. Was Zhao Huangzhi pretending all these years or this was a temporary possession? In denial, he decided on possession resorting to pping her hard across the face in order to cast whatever spirit it was out.


    Pa! Was the loud sound that brought the entire room to silence with Zhao Huangzhi''s screams breaking the still atmosphere. For the first time in her entire life someone actually dared to hit her and that person was her father. She screamed at him cursing him to his grave which undoubtedlynded her another p.


    Satisfied, Wen Qinxi broke Qie Ranzhe''s hold on him leaving the room without a single word. As expected, Qie Ranzhe immediately followed behind him in silence d that at least Zhao Xieshu didn''t hate him and they would soon move on from this or so he thought.

 Chapter 149: Second World: Curiosity Killed the Cat

    Chapter 149: Second World: Curiosity Killed the Cat


    Wen Qinxi head towards his pavilion inrge strides almost cking out in rage. He was closed off to the world with that footage reying over and over again in his mind like a broken record. He was immersed in that bubble so much so that he didn''t notice Qie Ranzhe silently following behind him. He just wanted to find a safe space to calm the storm raging within and if he was outside the game it would be his bedroom.


    In a matter of minutes he was in his pavilion heading straight for his room when he heard a deep gentle voice calling out to him.


    "Xieshu.....," called out a nervous Qie Ranzhe not sure were to start. He desperately wanted to talk things through and clear out all misunderstanding but faced with Zhao Xieshu''s grim expression his words got stuck in his throat his mind going nk.


    It was only then did Wen Qinxi notice he had a tail. Qie Ranzhe had been following behind his footsteps all the way to his pavilion but he hadn''t noticed and wasn''t in the mood to talk. In fact, with the kind uncontroble anger surging within it wasn''t a good idea for the Marshal to stay here.


    "Go rest, will talk tomorrow," replied Wen Qinxi his tone unhurried and aloof before heading upstairs leaving the Marshal standing in the middle of the lounge with a pained expression.


    Wen Qinxi didn''t even look back instantly taking off his clothes to take a shower as soon as he entered his room hoping to soothe his temper and clear his mind by running some warm water all over his body.


    ''Gecko, you are doing well. Your heart rate is now decreasing,'' said a familiar voice but Wen Qinxi was startled squeezing out too much shower gel that it spilled over to the floor.


    "Shit!....What the fuck are you all still doing here? Why haven''t you closed themunication channel yet?" he said rinsing off the excess slippery shower gel from his hand before turning off the water.


    "Ha!...Thats what we get for caring for you? You scared the shit out of me and Xia Bai with your abnormal heart beat," said Hei Bao in a nasal tone voicing out hisint.


    Xia Bai reached out to gently rub Hei Bao''s earlobe saying, "You were the only one freaking out like dog before a storm it was kind of cute," in an obviously amused tone.


    "Who are calling cute?" protested Hei Bao removing Xia Bai''s fingers off his earlobe which the guy seem to like doing often these days, "You were frantic as well calling doctor Machu with tears in your eyes. Aw...such a sensitive soul."


    Wen Qinxi suddenly felt a sour taste in his mouth hearing them bicker in such a weird way. The dynamics of their argument seemed different from what he was used to and he found this kind rather sickening. Tired of it he asked, "Are you flirting or fighting? If you have nothing important to say then piss off," obviously still in a bad mood. He wanted some personal space but these two invaded his serene atmosphere disturbing his peace.


    "Who is fucking flirting? Qi-ge you really have no filter when you are angry. Remind me never to screw with you in the future," said a Hei Bao in a taut voice before walking towards the exit.


    Seeing him leave, Xia Bai asked, "Where are you going?"


    "To the vending machine," he casually answered while opening the door.


    With a beaming smile Xia Bai replied, "Wait for me?" before whispering to Wen Qinxi through the open channel, "We were flirting by the way," dropping such an explosive bomb, Xia Bai hurried after Hei Bao indifferent towards Wen Qinxi''s reaction.


    Wen Qinxi, "...."


    Machu had been around long enough to know that something fishy was going on between them two and the rumors in the office was fueling his suspicions. Tossing those thoughts at the back of his mind he asked a much more important question. "Hey, Gecko. Do you like Ran-ge by any chance," recalling how angry Wen Qinxi was when they were eavesdropping on his argument with Empress Wuzhishu and Zhao Huangzhi. He couldn''t help but feel a genuine emotioning from Wen Qinxi''s voice earlier on. This kind of emotion was beyond acting and he just had to ask but instead of a response he only received an automated reply, "Communication channel severed. Have a nice day."


    Machu, "..."


    "Hahahaha.....doc you must be familiar with the term curiosity killed the cat? I suggest you stick to medical questions from now on, hahaha," said the system amused by Machu''s frank method of questioning.


    Machu knew the system was right but thest time he didn''t intervene, Qie Ranzhe ended up dating Zhao Huangzhi and we all know what a nightmare that was. He sincerely hoped after this, his best friend won''t be a coward anymore and face his feelings head on.


    ***


    Wen Qinxi felt bad for cutting off Machu but how was he supposed to answer that question? Frustrated, he cut the channel reaching out to switch the shower back on. After an hour of running a steamy shower and almost slipping on shower gel, Wen Qinxi emerged from the shower feeling refreshed as though the water had washed away all his frustrations. His stomach grumbling, he put on a loose white t-shirt with a low cor and some random jogger pants heading downstairs to make something to eat.


    He was literally bouncing down the stairs when he caught sight of Qie Ranzhe right where he left him looking lost in thought. Wen Qinxi''s heart sank at the thought that this man stood there the entire time waiting for him toe down. Why didn''t he listen and go home? "What are you still doing here?" he asked after the initial shock wore off.


    Qie Ranzhe finally snapped out his trance but he was soon left in a stupor faced with such a tantalizing meal right in front of him. Zhao Xieshu''s hair was slightly damp with his blonde strands sticking to his forehead and supple crimson cheeks giving him an enticing appearance under the bright natural light. His line of sight soon fell on the prince''s exposed fair long neck and captivating corbone making Qie Ranzhe gasp heavily trying to control his impulses.


    "I want to talk to you," he said trying not to look but how on earth was he supposed to restrain himself from such a dazzling omega who was intentionally driving his hormones crazy. He found his throat invaded by dry heat thirst that couldn''t be quenched no matter how much he swallowed. "Ahem...may I...may I have a ss of water please," he said attempting to cover up the lust in his eyes.


    Wen Qinxi led the way to the kitchen and poured him a ss while beckoning him to sit down. Qie Ranzhe sat across him on a bar stool with the ss in hand. The entire ss couldn''tpletely quench his thirst but it helped him cool down.

 Chapter 150: Second World: Powerful Marshal vs Tiny Chilli

    Chapter 150: Second World: Powerful Marshal vs Tiny Chilli


    After an eternity of summoning his courage, Qie Ranzhe finally spoke two words in total. "Am sorry," he said with a downcast expression his fingers tightly grasping the ss till his finger tips paled.


    Wen Qinxi didn''t respond for a while taking out all the ingredients he needed to make lunch. He casually ced ginger and garlic in front of the Marshal and gave him instructions. "Cut that to strips and mince that," he said pointing at the ingredients before handing him the kitchen utensils.


    Qie Ranzhe was confused but he didn''t pressure Zhao Xieshu obediently standing up to assist him though he had no idea what he was doing. He had never cooked anything his entire life and didn''t even know the difference between garlic and ginger but his omega asked and he would do anything to please him.


    Wen Qinxi watched the perplexed Marshal from the corner of his eye and wanted tough but he suppressed the urge by pressing his lips together while cutting a chicken breast to bite size. He soon finished marinating the chicken but Qie Ranzhe was still studying the garlic as though looking at some intimidating creature. The Marshal was preparing to go to war with this funny looking vegetable when Wen Qinxi walked over to him and took the garlic out of his hand.


    Qie Ranzhe made way for him standing next to him as he watched Zhao Xieshu''s gracious slender fingers peel the ginger skin before demonstrating the size of strips he expected from the Marshal. Qie Ranzhe was listening but his mind couldn''t help but stray his eyes riveting to Zhao Xieshu''s ear with blonde strands brushing against it. His eyes followed the blonde strands to their tips that were grazing the pheromone nd at back of Zhao Xieshu''s neck. It was then that his mind wander in another direction imagining how sweet Zhao Xieshu''s scent would smell like when a knife suddenly stabbed the cutting board jolting him out of his trance.


    "Are you even listening?" asked Wen Qinxi who was already demonstrating how to peel garlic and use a contraption foreign to the Marshal.


    "Mn.....I am," his brows knitted together when he saw the knife that had been stabbed into the cutting board. This was extremely dangerous. He didn''t want Zhao Xieshu doing such trivial yet lethal things by himself. But Wen Qinxi interpreted his expression as fear of being stabbed by him.


    "What?...You afraid I might stab you where you stand?" he asked feeling downhearted knowing Qie Ranzhe didn''t trust despite everything.


    "No...I am afraid you might hurt yourself," he said nervously biting his lower lip. Wen Qinxi almost sold himself out as a nice feeling whirled up within him uplifting his spirit.


    "Finish this, I need it now," he said heading towards the fridge to cool his heated face. After a long struggle, Qie Ranzhe finally finished preparing the ingredients in crude manner unique to only him.


    Wen Qinxi had already finished deep frying the chicken when Qie Ranzhe came over presenting his shabby yet heart-felt work as though seeking praise. Wen Qinxi didn''t feel the need to oblige him and simply nodded while taking out a wok to stir fry. The Marshal was still in the dog house and people in the dog house don''t deserve praise.


    He took Qie Ranzhe''s masterpiece and tossed it into the wok together with some suchuan peppercorn and spring onions while gesturing to Qie Ranzhe to sit down.


    The Marshal wasn''t as hurt when Zhao Xieshu didn''t praise him for a job well done he was just happy that at least the prince was including him. What he didn''t know was that his punishment was yet toe.


    As a delicatable fragrance waft from the wok, he added the deep fried chicken bits and a tiny amount of water allowing the vors to infuse with chicken for a couple of minutes before serving it over some white rice and garnishing the dish with sesame seeds.


    He brought over two bowls cing one in front of Qie Ranzhe and the other right next to him that is before he went to get a ss of milk. The Marshal was so happy patiently waiting for Zhao Xieshu toe back. He had never imagined the prince to be a caring kind-hearted omega with a magnimous side but boy was he wrong.


    "What dish is this?" asked a curious Qie Ranzhe poking at the chicken with his chopsticks when Wen Qinxi sat down on the next bar stool cing the ss of milk on the kitchen counter.


    "Eat," was Wen Qinxi''s response with a pair of chopsticks in his hand. Qie Ranzhe obediently took a mouthful only to have his face turn red in an instant. Wen Qinxi had made spicy szechuen chicken with a good amount of red chillis which was Qie Ranzhe''s baine. He had used the same method to deal with Wen Danzhe and boy did it feel good.


    Qie Ranzhe wanted to spit it out but Wen Qinxi closed his mouth while threatening him, "You better swallow it otherwise I will really cklist you for ten years."


    The threat worked as the Marshal swallowed with great difficulty his tongue literally on fire, his gorgeous phoenix eyes bloodshot streaming with tears. His mouth felt like a tiny star had gone supernova in his mouth.


    In haste, Qie Ranzhe stood up and grabbed a ss to drink some water. Wen Qinxi wanted to stop him but the alpha''s actions were too swift. He had already drunk a mouthful when Wen Qinxi said, "That will only make it worse."


    The fiery burning sensation worsened but Qie Ranzhe wanted to drink more. Just as he was about fill up another ss, Wen Qinxi grasped his hand with a ss of milk in his other hand gesturing to Qie Ranzhe to take it.


    Qie Ranzhe''s heart softened when he saw that beautifulforting smile on Zhao Xieshu''s face. The burning sensation in his mouth didn''t seem severe anymore. He epted the ss of milk and instantly felt relief with just one sip. "Thank you," he said as Wen took out a separate bowl without chilli struggling to suppress hisughter.


    Wen Qinxi reced Qie Ranzhe bowl but when he saw the look of hesitation in the Marshal''s eyes he said, "This doesn''t have chilli, I promise," beckoning him to sit down. The Marshal trusted him once and ended up getting burnt so he only sat after filling the ss with milk to the brim. His first bite was so cautious that Wen Qinxi couldn''t hold back anymoreughing himself to tears. Qie Ranzhe smiled helplessly when he realised it wasn''t spiked with chilli sincerely thanking him.


    "Now we are even," said Wen Qinxi resuming to eat his food, "so you want to tell me what happened that day?"

 Chapter 151: Second World: Trusted The Wrong Omega

    Chapter 151: Second World: Trusted The Wrong Omega


    The mystery of how Zhao Huangzhi managed to get Qie Ranzhe in such a sticky situation was unveiled as the Marshal recalled every little details of what happened that day. What Wen Qinxi said before was true, Zhao Huangzhi actually used Zhao Xieshu''s name to execute the first half of her n.


    At UPSF headquarters, two hours after Qie Ranzhe received a message from Zhao Xieshu letting the Marshal know he would abandon his suppressants after they get married a packed lunch was delivered on Qie Ranzhe''s desk.


    Recently, Zhao Xieshu had been spoiling him with packed lunches delivered same time everyday like clock work but this time it was different. Zhao Xieshu hadn''t called him in advance like he always did and instead of a call, the packed lunch came with a small note saying, ''Hope you like it. Love you.''


    This waspletely out of the norm but he had fought with Zhao Xieshu and was just forgiven so he assumed the prince didn''t want to talk to him but chose to reconcile this way. The note raised his suspicions because neither of them had used that L-word to each other and he also couldn''t recall Zhao Xieshu''s handwriting since everything was electronic but he brushed it off unwilling to waste his omega''s efforts which was the catalyst to the chain of events.


    The bento contained the food he liked but it had a different taste to it like it was done by a professional chef not the home cooked meal Zhao Xieshu always made for him. Dejected, he only ate a mouthful before shoving the bento aside while writing a message to Zhao Xieshu saying, ''I know we fought and I was wrong but did you have to send this indifferent meal over? Is this you punishing me?''


    But Wen Qinxi was fiddling with that mysterious cube shaped box that was basically mocking his intelligence so he didn''t notice Qie Ranzhe''s message till it was already toote.


    Frustrated, Qie Ranzhe waited for a response for a very long time but got none so he decided to pop up at Zhao Xieshu''s pavilion again deserting his workload without a hitch delegating all of it to a helpless Machu.


    On his way out of the office, he immediately bumped into Zhao Huangzhi who seemed distraught with her emotions all over the pce. With swollen teary eyes she exined that she had fought with the emperor about some matter Qie Ranzhe couldn''t recall and that she wanted someone to talk to. The omega even went as far as saying that the Marshal used to help Zhao Xieshu all the time when he made trouble in the past so the Marshal should help her too considering their history.


    Qie Ranzhe wanted to refuse recalling how mean she was to Zhao Xieshu and the fact that she tried to use her pheromones to seduce him. He only agreed because he was already heading to the pce. He could talk to her along the way but this was the beginning of his nightmare.


    He somehow got talked into getting into Zhao Huangzhi''s car.


    This could be because his mind was distracted thinking of ways to coax Zhao Xieshu and that he and Zhao Huangzhi had known each other since childhood so he didn''t mind but as soon as the doors were closed a fine mist filled the car leaving a sweet taste at the tip of his tongue. It was only then did Qie Ranzhe figure out what type of situation he was in.


    This sweet mist could only work when the victim was fed the powder first and itsbined effect was getting knocked out for twelve hours on average. Everything finally pieced together but it was already toote as his mind drifted off into the dark abyss losing consciousness.


    What transpired from then on he could only find out after he reviewed the footage. All he knows is that he woke up the next morning with Zhao Huangzhi lying in his embrace her familiar pheromones filling the room causing him to feel light-headed. As though holding a hot brick, Qie Ranzhe shoved the princess away in a panic vexed as to what exactly happenedst night.


    Zhao Huangzhi had marks all over her body even her pheromone nd showed signs of having been nibbled into but he couldn''t recall any of it.


    Feeling the warmth beside her had long since run cold, Zhao Huangzhi finally woke up exposing her naked top half for Qie Ranzhe''s full view. Her firm bosom with two pink erect peaks seemed to be calling to him to touch them but Qie Ranzhe was unaffected. Out of Zhao Huangzhi''s expectation, the Marshal seemed disinterested with a look of disdain on his face.


    "What the fuck did you do?" he yelled stifled with rage. His eyes turned an eerie dark shade with overpowering alpha pheromones filling the room that even her soul was in peril. Her body instantly turned to jelly curling up into a ball in terror as a suffocating feeling stuffed her chest. She could barely breath under Qie Ranzhe''s constant suppression feeling as though she was knocking at death''s door.


    Qie Ranzhe mmed his fist into the wall leaving behind a huge crack in the presidential suite that could only be repaired by recing the entire wall. Having vented out some of his anger he issued out a warning, "This is yourst warning. If you dare to fuck this up for me one more time I will burn you alive!" before grabbing his shirt putting it on while exiting the room but soon halted his footsteps when he heard Zhao Huangzhi say,


    "Its toote. He already knows," with a quiver in her voice, "He won''t ept you after this."


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t stick around anymore with his fingers digging deep into his palm in a tightly clenched fist. He had to exin everything to his omega before Zhao Xieshu was poisoned by other people''s lies. Judging from his body he knew nothing happened between him and Zhao Huangzhi''s didn''t but would his omega believe him?


    ***


    Wen Qinxi who was tentatively watching Qie Ranzhe as he nervously retold the entire ordeal couldn''t help but ache on his behalf. He sincerely hoped Zhao Huangzhi wasn''t like this in reality otherwise he would have to secretly light a candle for his boss. The lives of the elite seemed riddled with dog blood drama which made him treasure his quiet life even more.


    He unknowingly took Qie Ranzhe''s hand tenderly rubbing the back of the alpha''s hand with his thumb infort. "It''s water under the bridge as long as you have learnt your lesson," said Wen Qinxi his eyes full of sincerity but who knew Qie Ranzhe would take advantage and pull him into his embrace with the Marshal''s tight grip wrapped around Zhao Xieshu''s waist as though afraid to lose him. Zhao Xieshu was too good to him. He couldn''t understand what he did to deserve such a loving omega''s affection.


    "I give you a fuckin inch you take an entire mile! What the fuck is wrong with you?" he said engulfed in a forceful embrace with Qie Ranzhe pulling him into his body. In this tranquil, silent environment their every breath and heart beat was magnified. Even the vibrations from when Wen Qinxi spoke were transfered from his chest to Qie Ranzhe''s chest through their clothes their heart rates spiking at an rming rate


    "Be good and stay still," he said in an imperative voice that had Wen Qinxi submitting to him that is until he smelt a gardenia like scent with a hint of rosemary. Though faint and barely noticeable his omega receptors went crazy instinctively pushing away Qie Ranzhe his anger ring up again.


    It was Zhao Huangzhi''s pheromones lingering on his alpha''s body. He felt piqued unble to ept Qie Ranzhe until he was clean. Wen Qinxi wasn''t even willing to be close to him standing up from the bar stool in haste to the point of almost falling off. Confused, Qie Ranzhe reached over to support him only to be rejected once more.

 Chapter 152: Second World: XieXies Private Property

    Chapter 152: Second World: XieXie''s Private Property


    Befuddled by his own behavior Wen Qinxi pushed him away feeling as though his territory was tainted by that omega scent and he wouldn''t be able to stay here until it was gone. "Get out!" he thoughtlessly said instantly regretting the words as soon as they left his mouth.


    Qie Ranzhe''s face went taut his bloodshot eyes apparent as he tightly grasped Zhao Xieshu''s wrist. He never felt secure in his rtionship with Zhao Xieshu and would only feel secure until he had left a trace of himself on his omega''s body and possess him entirely. He always had the feeling that Zhao Xieshu was simr to the magical green northern lights that vanish at a moment''s notice without any warning. But today he wasn''t going to let him go not in this lifetime not even in the next, Zhao Xieshu belonged to him.


    "Tell me what it is and l will fix it. Don''t...don''t just shut me out," he said in a coaxing tone but Zhao Xieshu wouldn''t stop struggling his speech incoherent.


    "Her...I smell her...get out," said Wen Qinxi feeling his chest tightened with teary eyes even he had to ask himself, ''What the fuck is wrong with me?''


    What he didn''t know was that his body was rejecting Zhao Huangzhi''s pheromone left on Qie Ranzhe''s body causing such a dramatic reaction. He hadn''t smelt the pheromone on the Marshal before as they hadn''t been close enough for him to smell it but their proximity after hugging made it possible.


    Normally an omega wouldn''t react this strongly to someone he or she has taken interest in having another omega''s linger scent but coupled with the emotional trauma caused by Zhao Huangzhi, Wen Qinxi couldn''t stand it as unpleasant memories filled his mind. He had to get away from Qie Ranzhe otherwise he would go mad.


    Any regr person wouldn''t have understood Wen Qinxi''s rambling but Qie Ranzhe wasn''t a regr person. He instantly understood what he meant and immediately left to take a thorough shower in the guest bathroom and deodorise his entire body. He had scrubbed himself clean as soon as he got to his office but because Zhao Huangzhi purposefully released his omega pheromone the entire time he was knocked out meant there would still be some traces only an omega could sense.


    After he left Wen Qinxi felt better with only a niggling nauseating feeling remaining. His senses had finally returned as an endless string of curses escaped his mouth. He was having a major freak out that even terrified the system into hiding lest it got caught up in the cross fire. After thirty minutes of venting cursing whoever came up with an ABO world he searched his closet for clothes in a slightlyrger size but couldn''t find anything apart from jogger pants that were a sizerger. Even that wouldn''t fit the Qie Ranzhe''s tall figure so he fiddled with hismunicator purchasing express delivery clothes for the Marshal to wear with a malicious grin on his face.


    As soon as Qie Ranzhe stepped out of the shower his clothes hadpletely disappeared reced with avish packaging from an expensive clothing brand. He could only guess it was Zhao Xieshu''s doing since his clothes might have Zhao Huangzhi''s scent so he didn''t protest opening the box but the smile on his face soon fell when he realised what was in it. How on earth was he supposed to wear such a zany outfit? Was he supposed to leave the pce wearing this?


    Twenty minutester he finally came gathered up the courage toe out with a sombre expression but Wen Qinxi was esthetic splitting his sides inughter. This was gold a priceless experience with him as its only witness. The Marshal was wearing mid-thigh ck shorts with the sentence ''XieXie''s property'' printed in yellow on his buttocks. His t-shirt was even worse printed in yellow ''XieXie''s Private Property'' and an allow pointing down at his crotch.


    The Marshal was obviously displeased but seeing Zhao Xieshu this excited he swallowed his pride swaggering towards his cheerful and lively omega. "I look silly," he said pulling Zhao Xieshu by the waist drawing him closer, "Can l take it off now and wear my old clothes?"


    "Oh....I discarded those. I couldn''t stand it but if you keep these on," replied Wen Qinxi wrapping his arms around Qie Ranzhe''s neck with flirtatious eyes, "l will let you spend the rest of the day here." There was an indescribable joy that came from teasing Qie Ranzhe that Wen Qinxi couldn''t help himself, little did he know he was ying with fire.


    "Mn....I will wear it then," replied Qie Ranzhe his once calm eyes turning vicious with the desire to possess the person right in front of him. Qie Ranzhe forcefully drew the omega closer nting his lips on Zhao Xieshu''s his soft nimble tongue thrusting into the prince''s mouth with his hands firmly grasping the omega''s waist holding him in ce.


    Wen Qinxi had no time to protest as the alpha ruthlessly invaded his mouth chasing after his tongue like a hungry beast filling the air with lewd kissing sounds. He felt his entire body shudder in pleasure were the two tongues entwined making Wen Qinxi crazed yearning for more. It was as if his taste buds had been graced by an addictive mask taste with a hint of jasmine that made his omega senses want to swallow the Marshal whole. What he didn''t know was that his body was taking in the Marshal''s alpha pheromones from his saliva.


    Wen Qinxi pulled at Qie Ranzhe''s neck deepening the kiss his ravenous tongue wildly ravaging the Marshal''s mouth as the seductive alpha pheromones intoxicated his mind to the point of dizziness.


    Qie Ranzhe couldn''t endure such provocation anymore, he was fairly certain that he was reaching his limit, a point of no return. He could no longer guarantee Zhao Xieshu''s safety forcing him to part with his alluring omega before it was toote.


    Wen Qinxi who was suddenly deprived of that addictive taste felt aggrieved but he wasn''t the type to draw back into his turtle shell waiting for the next opportunity. No, if he wants it then he will go get it.


    "The Marshal has such sexy ass," he whispered in Qie Ranzhe''s ear in a coy tone his risqu hand groping the Marshal''s but didn''t expect Qie Ranzhe to turn savage in the next moment lifting his entire body with Zhao Xieshu''s legs wrapped around his waist.


    The Marshal''s bulge on his lower half was already rubbing aganist the omega''s delicate area through the fabric making Zhao Xieshu shudder in both fear and excitement.


    Wen Qinxi''s omega parts tingled with a sense of crisis as he reprimanded himself. ''Shit! I took it too far.'' As they say you reap what you sow.

 Chapter 153: Second World: Lets Play A Game (NFSW)

    Chapter 153: Second World: Lets y A Game (NFSW)


    The saying ''reap what you sow'' echoed twice in Wen Qinxi''s mind while being embraced so tight by Qie Ranzhe. He could already feel the heat eminating from the Marshal''s groin between his thighs through the fabric. But he didn''t get to dwindle on that thought any longer as Qie Ranzhe''s hot lips passionately entangled with his in a vigorous and almost savage kiss with the Marshal''s unruly tongue sweeping over every sensitive spot in his mouth giving off the feeling of being swallowed whole.


    "Ah.....," Wen Qinxi gasped in pleasure making him blush profusely while tightly clinging onto the Marshal further provoking the sensual beast carrying him up the stairs. Qie Ranzhe seemed discontented with the kiss such that his hot slithering tongue slid deeper into Zhao Xieshu''s mouth releasing subtle amounts of his alpha pheromones dering sovereignty over his omega.


    Qie Ranzhe gently ced Zhao Xieshu''s on thefortable bed reluctantly parting their lips. Zhao Xieshu was panting beneath him gasping for air as he had been kissed to the point of suffocation. Qie Ranzhe gazed at this exquisite blushing face lying under him with amorous charming eyes that could enchant one''s soul his intentions clear.


    Before Wen Qinxi could fully catch his breathe, Qie Ranzhe kissed him once more this time giving a little more of his intoxicating pheromones ardently sucking and biting Zhao Xieshu''s lips with his adventurous hand caressing the prince''s slender waist and thighs making the omega relentlessly grind aganist his body causing their body temperatures to rise exponentially. Qie Ranzhe''s alpha pheromones were roused further flowing uncontrobly into the sensual environment.


    Wen Qinxi felt feverish his entire body turning to a puddle of water with an itchy feeling worsening with time. What he didn''t realize was that his suppressant''s defenses were nowpromised giving the alpha''s pheromones an opportunity to influence his body intensifying his sensitivity to Qie Ranzhe''s touch.


    Qie Ranzhe finally let go of his lips slowly kissing his way to Zhao Xieshu''s ear whispering, "Would you like to y a game?" in a deep maic voice that had Wen Qinxi''s omega channel unbearably hot and his stiff rod tingling in response.


    Wen Qinxi bit his lower lip in a scious manner his hand on Qie Ranzhe''s face with his thumb gently rubbing the Marshal''s cheek. "What kind of game you want to y with me?" he asked not even sure where this was leading to. He nned to go with the flow, as long as there was no pain involved in it he was down for anything.


    Wen Qinxi didn''t immediately get a respond as the Marshal proceeded to lick his sensitive smooth skin on the side of his neck. Due to the prince''s supressant weakening, Qie Ranzhe could actually sense Zhao Xieshu''s tantalizing plumeira like omega pheromones. Though minute it was enough to aggravate the alpha''s thirst even more. Losing part of his senses, Qie Ranzhe sumbed to his primal instincts biting and sucking at the prince''s neck causing the omega beneath him to tense up pushing him away.


    "Aiyo...Ranzhe, what the fuck? It fuckin hurts," said Wen Qinxi feebly pushing him away but Qie Ranzhe was like an unmoving boulder massaging the hickey with moist tongue soothing the pain away. "Ah, ah.....that feels good," he said his attitude taking a 360 degree turn with lewd sounds escaping from his throat. Wen Qinxi could endure his lip being bit but the hickey was a bit much with his fear of pain rearing its ugly head.


    Qie Ranzhe finally stopped his actions studying his masterpiece with glimmer of pride in his eyes. The red prominent mark stood out on Zhao Xieshu''s now flushed skin causing his crotch to grow majestically stiff with the arrow on his t-shirt pointing downwards emphasizing ''XieXie''s Private Property''.


    "Baby, I am giving you cognitive behavior therapy so bear with me, okay? I am just introducing you to a little amount of pain so you can get used to it," exined the Marshal who seemed to have taken an interest in psychology.


    Wen Qinxi''s brows knitted together feeling apprehensive while scolding him. "Didn''t you say it wouldn''t hurt and you would be gentle?" he said clearly deluding himself. Everyone''s first time hurts so why would he be an exception? He had just been fed unicorn farts by the dear Marshal because no matter how gentle the man was it would obviously hurt.


    "It will only hurt a little that''s why I am preparing you for it in advance so it will hurt less," said Qie Ranzhe in a mellow voice that was as calm as a natural cave pool making it difficult to resist.


    Wen Qinxi was undeniably under the influence of Qie Ranzhe''s alpha pheromones giving him light-headed drunk feeling his skin even more sensitive than usual. Even without the pheromones at y, he had to admit that he missed doing the unmentionable things they did together in the first world and he wanted to do it again so he agreed permitting Qie Ranzhe to do as he pleased as long as he was gentle.


    "Mn...just no poking at me unless you want this to be thest time youy hands on me?" he said weary of his first time. Jolie had scared the shit out of him when he showed him the obscene video were an alpha''s joystick forced its way into that pin sized hole. He wasn''t mentally prepared for it shuddering as he recalled the pained screams of that omega.


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t push him concealing his rouguish smile while kissing Zhao Xieshu''s corbone. He knew the prince would eventually go through estrus when they get married and the omega would willingly throw himself at him with his fear of pain thrown out the window as an overwhelming desire to be filled by his alpha takes precedence. Naturally, he would be gentle with Zhao Xieshu when the timees. He had waited this long already and had the patience to wait even longer to do this and that with the prince.


    "Mn," he said his lips sucking at the delicate skin of Zhao Xieshu''s corbone while grinding his throbbing erection aganist the omega''s inner thigh instigating muffled moans to escape from his lover''s throat.

    Chapter 154: Second World: Nothing Less Than an A+ (NFSW)


    Wen Qinxi clutched the quilt on either side of the bed enduring the pain of his scorching skin being nibbled on by Qie Ranzhe. What made it worth it was the streams of indescribable pleasure that came from being licked by that skilled slippery tongue making him involuntary tremble, his omega parts itching to be touched. His curled up toes felt numb his blood running cold with ice cool waves of pleasure striking his hot member as Qie Ranzhe rub aganist him. He desperately wanted to see that majestic haughty beast that had been rubbing aganist his inner thigh but was too embarrassed to ask.


    As though the Marshal had read his mind, the alpha carefully undressed him with no hint of shyness but Wen Qinxi was as red as ripe cherries ready for harvest refusing to have Qie Ranzhe take off his ck boxer briefs with an outstanding twitching peak that had the Marshal licking his lower lip with lust filled eyes.


    Mesmerized, Qie Ranzhe caressed Zhao Xieshu''s abdomen tantly admiring his slender figure that wasn''t as delicate as you would expect from an omega carrying with him a powerful and enticing aura that no other omega possessed. "Baby.....you are so beautiful," he said nting a gentle kiss at the corner of his lips before saying, "I want to see you. I can''t bear it anymore," in a low whisper with his warm breathe brushing against Wen Qinxi''s already sensitive skin. This was now the second time being addressed as baby by Qie Ranzhe and each time he said it Wen Qinxi''s body would go through an involuntary fission his heart unable to bear it. How could he refuse him after that?


    He removed his hands that had been barring Qie Ranzhe from removing his underwear granting the Marshal ess to his most sacred area.


    This was a bit concerning to him when he realised how much he gave in to Qie Ranzhe''s demands as though under some kind of spell but that thought soon vanished when the Marshal eagerly peeled off his underwear spreading Zhao Xieshu''s legs apart.


    Wen Qinxi who was stared at for so long couldn''t bear it anymoreshing out at the Marshal by kicking him away asking, "Are we still doing this or you going to stare at me all day?"


    His slender leg was caught mid-air and Qie Ranzhe did the most unexpected thing kissing up his leg from his ankle to his inner thigh daring to even bite him in the process leaving his marks everywhere. Wen Qinxi wanted to free his leg but Qie Ranzhe kept a firm grasp on it with a mischievous grin on his face. His struggle didn''tst long as mix of pain and pleasure overpowered his body absorbing the Marshal''s exhrating pheromones.


    Watching such an erotic scene with Zhao Xieshu grinding and moaning beneath him, Qie Ranzhe''s eyes darkened unable to endure it anymore. He tried to remove his clothes properly but had no patience for it unwilling to let Zhao Xieshu go as such he resorted to a more primitive manner tearing his clothes off with the rags spreading across the floor. Wen Qinxi was angry when he saw what this savage of an alpha did to his favorite outfit.


    "Ranzhe, what the fuck did you just do?" trying to escape from under him but Qie Ranzhe''s burning desire wouldn''t let this omega escape from him at all.


    In a firm grip, he grasped Zhao Xieshu''s chin tilting the omega''s face up before passionately kissing those soft lips rendering his lover powerless.


    "I will buy five of the same outfit and wear them in public, okay? Just don''t be angry and let daddy make you feel good," he coaxed his fierce omega kissing every inch of that porcin jade like skin working his way down to Zhao Xieshu''s twitching member with clear liquid seeping out seeking attention.


    "Ah!....don''t....mn," moaned the aroused Wen Qinxi biting on his lower lip as Qie Ranzhe''s lips teased the tip of his member. An intense itchy feeling brought Wen Qinxi to his knees begging the Marshal to offer him relief but Qie Ranzhe stopped his actions while yfully teasing the two erect beads on the omega''s chest. Unable to bear such immense stimtion, Wen Qinxi tried to rub his throbbing junior by himself but his wrist was pinned down with the Marshal looking up to him with roguish smile.


    "Call me Daddy Ran and I will make you feel good," he said with his other hand rubbing in-between Zhao Xieshu''s thigh.


    Wen Qinxi couldn''t believe it, this CEO was shamelessly bullying him. Who would have thought he was like this in bed? Seeing that he didn''t reply, Qie Ranzhe was even more daring smacking his bottom with a loud ''Pa!'' sound leaving behind a red mark. Though not as painful as the hickey it still rmed Wen Qinxi ring at this shameless man.


    "Don''t you dare smack me again otherwise the party ends here," he said threatening the unremorseful Marshal.


    "If you don''t like it, why is he," pointing at the stiff rod that grew a few inches more after the butt smacking, "twitching that? Xie call me Daddy Ran or I will continue torturing you," now whispering in his ear.


    Wen Qinxi tried to free his hand but he was too weak to free himself from Qie Ranzhe grasped leaving only one possible means of quenching the fire burning within him.


    "Daddy Ran," he said his face blushing profusely while averting his gaze.


    "Not good enough," said Qie Ranzhe teasing his omega''s pin sized hole that was seeping fluids in anticipation. The breathtaking ecstasy from Qie Ranzhe touching that ce had all his nerve endings screaming in pleasure. He was so muddled headed saying, "Oh yes...Daddy Ran right there.....ohhhh just fuck me already," surprising even the Marshal.Wen Qinxi blurted that out with a foggy mind even forgetting how painful his first time would be.


    Qie Ranzhe knew this was spoken out of a moment''s weakness and didn''t use his stiff member that was still trapped in his underwear choosing to use his tongue and fingers instead. He had been looking forward to making Zhao Xieshu scream his name in pleasure hence he had done thorough research on how to effectively please his omega without pration. After weeks of studying, it was time for the exam and this student was aiming for nothing less than an A+.

 Chapter 155: Second World: The Right Way To Please An Omega (NFSW)

    Chapter 155: Second World: The Right Way To Please An Omega (NFSW)


    Wen Qinxi might have been a nerd but due to his brother''s influence, he was coerced into participating in fun activities including but not limited to bungee jumping, sky diving which he swore he would never do again and riding one of the world''s most terrifying roller-coasters. All thisbined could note close to the adrenaline rush he was feeling in this moment with Qie Ranzhe''s mouth servicing his omega parts.


    Qie Ranzhe had dreamt doing this very thing to Zhao Xieshu a couple of times and in that dream the prince would call out his name in a seductive tone spellbound by his actions. Today he intended to have that dreame true paying special attention to detail searching for the spot that would drive Zhao Xieshu crazy to the point of obsession.


    From the start, the Marshal spread the omega''s legs apart causing Zhao Xieshu to shudder when a cool breeze brushed against his tight hole inciting him to close his legs once more but Qie Ranzhe wouldn''t let him. The Marshal ced Zhao Xieshu''s legs on his either side of his shoulders spreading those legs apart while whispering, "Baby, don''t fool around. Let daddy please you," with a flirtatious smile that had Wen Qinxi''s erection pulsing in excitement.


    Wen Qinxi didn''t protest any futher lying on his back facing the ceiling his heart leaping out of his chest recalling how amazing it felt when Qie Ranzhe touched him once. He wanted more of it so he obedientlyy there in wait with great expectation. Qie Ranzhe lean down and the only thing Wen Qinxi could see was the top of the Marshal''s head and shoulders. This made him curious trying to look over and see what he was doing but his mind soon nked out when his member was enveloped in a moist, warm carven making him cry out in a hoarse voice.


    "Ah------," his body quivered tightly clutching his fingers to the quilt his face scarlet red in a blush as a gushing stream of pleasure rushed straight to his head. Pleased with the positive response, Qie Ranzhe pushed the stiff pink member up his pte making his sucking action much more effective.


    Wen Qinxi felt as though his soul was literally being sucked out of him that he couldn''t stop lewd sounds from escaping his throat. Embrassed by the moans and groansing out of his own mouth, he used his hands to block his mouth but Qie Ranzhe wasn''t pleased gently smacking the prince''s thigh as punishment.


    Wide-eyed, Wen Qinxi wanted to get angry but his anger dissipated as Qie Ranzhe''s finger rubbed aganist his little channel sending the omega straight to seventh heaven. Wen Qinxi no longer concerned himself with the embrassing soundsing from him with both his hands firmly clutching at the quilt his lower half twitching and jerking weing his alpha''s pampering.


    This was just the beginning as the Marshal intensified his actions. He didn''t want Zhao Xieshu to get there without calling out his name such that he gently pushed his middle finger into the already stimted hole with slippery fluids seeping out ready to be invaded. After thrusting a few times, Zhao Xieshu''s finally called out his name in lewd seductive cries with the omega''s channel sucking his finger in, intending to swallow his finger whole.


    "Ah.....Ran-ge....right there.....Ah, don''t stop daddy Ran," moaned the omega making Qie Ranzhe blush in excitement. He had found Zhao Xieshu''s treasure and intended to y with it till his omega climaxed. His tongue became even more naughtier skillfully entwined around the hot rod asionally stroking the shaft while sucking his lover''s member. In a daring motion, Qie Ranzhe''s tongue teased that little hole at the tip while his finger simtenously probed that sensitive spot driving Zhao Xieshu insane.


    Wen Qinxi felt like he was going to get sucked to death by this Marshal who was eagerly swallowing his entire member into his mouth. Under Qie Ranzhe''s constant provocation he could feel an erotic tension umting through out his entire body as reached his peak of sexual excitement and he couldn''t but cry out.


    "Ran-ge...ah.....Ran-ge.....ah," covulsing so much that the Marshal could barely hold him down as spurts of milky fluid released from his omega hole and the tip of his member still in the Marshal''s mouth. Qie Ranzhe immediately swallowed the the prince''s cum and brazenly sucked out the residual fluid with hints of omega pheromones in it. Craving for more of that sweet fluid, he licked clean his finger that had been teasing Zhao Xieshu''s hole before sucking the pin sized hole dry making the omega moan once more.


    Wen Qinxi was left gasping for air facing up when Qie Ranzhe lied down beside him staring at the omega with a dreamy expression. Though timid, Wen Qinxiy on his side clearing his throat before asking, "Why di-...ahem....why did you do that?"


    Qie Ranzhe chuckled lightly while tucking Zhao Xieshu''s stray strands damp from sweat behind his ear saying, "it tastes so sweet. Kiss me and you will know."


    Wen Qinxi was curious so he didn''t hesitate passionately entangling with Qie Ranzhe tasting the remnants of whatever was left of his cum. It wasn''t as sweet as Qie Ranzhe said but it roused his curiosity. Now lying on top of Qie Ranzhe, he wanted to do the same thing for him but he absolutely had no idea how to go about it. His hand slid down Qie Ranzhe''s underwear stroking the alpha''s lower half that desperately wanted to escape.


    "Teach me," said Wen Qinxi as soon as their lips parted with a tender look in his eyes.


    Qie Ranzhe replied, "Mn," with a bashful smile his Adam''s apple bobbing up and down in anticipation. Wen Qinxi didn''t waste anytime pulling his hand urging him to stand up before kneeling down reaching for his already stained underwear and as soon as he removed it his mouth ran dry in shock. ''What the.....?'' he thought but didn''t even finish this line of thinking as the big thing pulsed with a clear fluid leaking from its tip. Wouldn''t he die if that thing ever invaded his pin sized hole?


    "Do you like it?" asked the Marshal unable to read Zhao Xieshu''s fixed expression.


    ''Fuck! Why would you even ask me that at a time like this,'' he thought his fingers reaching out to touch it and as soon as his index finger brushed against it, the thing grew a few inches more.

    Chapter 156: Second World:The Right Way To Please An Alpha (NFSW)


    He felt like crying but he couldn''t cry in front of the Marshal so he toughened up stroking it showing hisck of experience. "It''s um...it''s big?" replied Wen Qinxi his two hands circling the shaft.


    Qie Ranzhe chuckled while saying, "Why don''t you try and taste it?" Being stared at with those charming eyes Wen Qinxi found himself unable to refuse leaning in closer while panting uncontrobly as the alpha''s scent mixed in with the fragrance of his own shower gel assaulted his senses intoxicating him to the point of losing rationality. After mastering his courage, he licked the tip not sure what to expect but as soon as the taste of Qie Ranzhe''s musky pheromones reached his tongue, Wen Qinxi began to salivate losing control of himself yearning for more.


    He began to suck at the tip his actions sporadic and hesitant but Qie Ranzhe''s breathing became heavy urging him on. "Keep going," he said his big hand gently pushing down Zhao Xieshu''s head guiding him. His member was soon engulfed in the omega''s moist and warm mouth making him groan in pleasure.


    Wen Qinxi who never once thought he would pleasure another man found himself curiously licking at the shaft as a numb sensation took over his entire mouth.


    Qie Ranzhe could tell Zhao Xieshu didn''t know what to do so he instructed him in an erotic husky tone, "Baby, open your mouth wider and keep using your tongue...jus-just like that."


    Like a good student, Wen Qinxi did as told his mouth swallowing as much of the fiery beast. He could tell Qie Ranzhe was excited from his tense thigh muscles and so Wen Qinxi continued his actions feeling a sense of satisfaction. In a brazen attempt he tried taking in more than half of the Marshal''s pistol reaching his throat but this was as far as he dared to go stroking the rest of the shaft with his hands seeming besotted sucking at the hot object.


    Smutty wet sounds filled the room with his hand yfully teasing the Marshal''s balls but to Qie Ranzhe it wasn''t enough. With half-lidded amorous eyes he called out to Zhao Xieshu in a hoarse voice with a hint of discontented forbearance. "Baby you have to try and take me in deeper....just rx your throat and don''t forget to breathe," he said his fingers gently caressing Zhao Xieshu''s flushed cheek coaxing him.


    All his life, Wen Qinxi always seed in whatever subject he tried and wasn''t about to start failing now so he did as told.


    Wen Qinxi gradually swallowed the rest of the Marshal''s shaft with great difficulty his teary eyes painting an enchanting picture. His throat burnt but he wasn''t going to give up gagging a few times but once he got the hang of it he grabbed Qie Ranzhe''s hands guiding them to the back of head as the alpha thrusted into his mouth at will.


    Qie Ranzhe''s movement sped up taking great care not hurt Zhao Xieshu while calling out his omega''s name, "Ah....Xieshu.....that feels so good....Ah...," slowly approaching his peak. He let out a loud groan as he reached his climax mming into Zhao Xieshu''s mouth releasing a considerable amount of thick fluid into his omega''s mouth. Wen Qinxi didn''t even think twice swallowing the fluid with some of it spilling out of the corner of his mouth his body absorbing the alpha pheromones that came with it. He felt a light and pleasant feeling circting within him like the feeling of spring after a long cold winter.


    Qie Ranzhe was panting heavily pulling his satisfied member out of the prince mouth before crouching down in front of the still kneeling Zhao Xieshu.


    With his hand caressing Zhao Xieshu''s cheek, he drew the omega closer kissing and licking clean the corners of his mouth then kissed his lips with a hint of urgency only stopping when he sensed the man''s distress. With their foreheads sticking together he asked, "Are you okay?" his eyes half closed.


    Off course, Wen Qinxi was okay, a little proud even. Though it hurt he endured it satisfying his boyfriend leaving him with a sense of pride. "Did you like it," he asked with a subtle smile.


    "Off course I did," replied Qie Ranzhe before he suddenly picked him up carrying him to the bathroom, "Let''s go take a shower and maybe have a second round," teasing Zhao Xieshu.


    ''Second round? What second?'' he thought trying to struggle out of the Marshal''s grasp. There was no way in hell that was going to happen twice. Once was enough.


    "Fuck no! It fuckin hurts I am not going again....Qie Ranzhe put me down," protested Wen Qinxi as they entered the bathroom.


    The Marshal didn''t actually do anything to him apart from groping his wet butt in the shower. The two fooled around a little but after cleaning himself up, Wen Qinxi immediately sprawled on the bed dozing off without warning. By the time Qie Ranzhe came out of the shower, Zhao Xieshu was sleeping on the bed naked from head to toe.


    The Marshal couldn''t help but chuckle while tucking himmending the omega for being so trusting. He got into bed as well and cuddled up with him feeling a sense of familiarity as though they had done this before. He could feel his heart was nowplete with the scent of his pheromes all over Zhao Xieshu. At least now he could be rest assured that no other alpha will dare get close to his omega as he had marked his territory. Though temporary it was enough to put his mind at ease for at most a week and they would get to do it again till he could finally mark himpletely.


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t know why but he felt a strong sense of insecurity when it came to Zhao Xieshu. He feared someone would rob Zhao Xieshu from him which is why he insisted on getting married soon. Where his insecurity stemmed from he had no idea. What he didn''t know was that in the real world his father divorcing his mother without any prior warning and Zhao Huangzhi dumping him on their engagement scarred him leaving a deep impression in his consciousness which is where his insecurities stemmed from.


    "Promise that you will never leave me," he whispered in Zhao Xieshu''s ear while embracing him but off course, Zhao Xieshu didn''t respond as he was fast asleep floating in his dreamscape.

 Chapter 157: Second World: Morning After

    Chapter 157: Second World: Morning After


    The notion of men falling asleep after having an orgasim was actually proved true by these two especially Wen Qinxi who slept the entire night without even having dinner. If it weren''t for his stomach growling like a hangry lion it would have been possible for him to sleep till midday.


    Lying under the quilt he struggled to open his eyes while patting his displeased tummy, "Shhh little ancestor, I fuckin heard you," further covering himself up with the quilt.


    "Ah...why am I so fuckin tired!" he yelled struggling to move a single limb with yesterday''s events yet to be revealed. He kicked off the quilt only to pick it up again wrapping himself with it like cute fur ball. Wen Qinxi did have a recurring problem of struggling to waking up every morning in the real world but that was because he usually sleptte especially when he started working on project ''gship'' so this daily episode of ''how long will it take to get the nerd out of bed'' wasn''t new.


    "Five more minutes little ancestor....five more min-, zzzzzz," he said while rubbing his angry stomach that was resorting to scare tactics twisting itself to wake him up but not even that could hold him back his eyes closing as he dozed off. He actually managed to doze off for two minutes that is until his stomach painfully twisted after catching a waft of the sweet smell of congee mixed in with the cool morning breeze an appetitising nolstalgic mouthwatering scent.


    "I''m up, I''m up," he said abruptly sitting up straight revealing his birds nest like blonde hair and a pale bare chest covered in hickeys looking like a madman that just escaped a mental asylum.


    "Hungry?" asked the man responsible for the pain in Wen Qinxi''s stomach before he leaned in to kiss Zhao Xieshu''s lips. Wen Qinxi was still in a daze when a soft warmth touched his lips. It was only after Qie Ranzhe drew back did he sober up cursing, "Shit! Shit! Shit!" darting towards the bathroom before shutting it with a resounding bang.


    Qie Ranzhe, "....."


    Wen Qinxi lightly touched his tingling lips with memories ofst night slowly reying in his mind like a 90s porn movie featuring him as the main star. Believe it or not a cheesy 90s song was ying along with those sensual scenes making the nerd blush crimson.


    "Okay, so you had sex well not really sex but went down on your bossst night....no need to panic.....oh fudge.....I am fuckin panicking," he said recalling every single word he saidst night while covering his face in embarrassment.


    "Whaaaatttttt, you two...AAAAAHHHH!" said the system that popped out of no where when it sensed Wen Qinxi was awake. It had been busy trying to rope in the good doctor Machu into a bet so it wasn''t around when it''s bosses did the ''this and that'' to each other only to walk in and hear Wen Qinxi''s confession.


    Startled, Wen Qinxi jolted in fright before spitting poison making the system run off in an instant, "Fuck off Jolie! And you better mind your fuckin business," with thest part said in fading voice as he had spoke out loud.


    "Aiyo....you did the nasty with the CEO so what you angry at me for?" it said before vanishing just in case it gets scolded again. Just like that it ran off to share the hot gossip.


    Wen Qinxi didn''t even understand why he was angry, he could understand why he would be embarrassed but his anger wasn''t justified. He enjoyed himselfst night and since they were mutual consenting adults there was nothing to be mad about only a little awkwardness between them.


    It was when Wen Qinxi sshed his face with water that he realised he was stark naked covered in hickeys some bright red others deep purple with an overall appearance of a beautiful canvas.


    While having this moment of realization in his birthday suit a light knocked was heard followed by Qie Ranzhe''s soothing voice, "Baby, are you okay?"


    ''This again?'' thought a bashful Wen Qinxi after being called baby instantly taking him back tost night. "I am fine.....just washing up," he said in groaky voice before taking in deep breathes to calm his beating heart.


    "Okay, breakfast is ready when you''re done," replied a not so convinced Qie Ranzhe fully aware of what was going on in the bathroom. How could he not know that Zhao Xieshu was having a panic attack retreating into his turtle shell? He decided not to leave silently waiting for him toe out. There was no way he was going to let his baobei retreat into his shell and hide from him especially afterst night. This is the reason why he didn''t leave early in the morning despite having scheduled meetings.


    Thirty minutester, Wen Qinxi finished washing up and wrapped himself up in a drying towel under his armpits listening at the door for sounds. It was silent outside so Qie Ranzhe had to have left, right? Wen Qinxi could only assume he was probably in the bedroom so all he had to do was dash out of the bathroom straight for walk-in closet right across.


    Confident in his n, he opened the door and ran out of the bathroom but instead of entering the walk-in closet he bumped into something hard stumbling a few steps backwards heading straight for the floor but his waist was caught by a strong arm preventing him from falling. Qie Ranzhe was smiling his eyes curved up in amusement. "Where are you rushing to?" he asked their bodies practically glued together.


    Wen Qinxi was speechless his expression nk wondering were he went wrong. Qie Ranzhe was obviously enjoying this his naughty hand reaching under Zhao Xieshu''s towel saying, "Mm...so warm," groping at his butt again.


    It was then that Wen Qinxi came back to his senses reprimanding the man who was obviously having a reaction rubbing aganist him. Last night''s events might have been nice but he didn''t intend on spending the rest of the day sleeping. "Do you have a death wish?" he asked ring at the man who was actively trying to seduce him.

 Chapter 158: Second World: Couples Costume

    Chapter 158: Second World: Couple''s Costume


    Qie Ranzhe knew to quit while ahead so he let him go before handing him a shopping bag. "Wear this today otherwise I will harass you the entire day," he said his eyes bright as the morning sun.


    It was only then did he notice that the Marshal who almost never wears casual clothes was now wearing slim fit ck jeans and a ck t-shirt written ''XieXie''s Private Property'' in yellow. When did the Marshal get that t-shirt done? Who knows?


    Wen Qinxi tightened his towel his eyes agape in disbelief stammering out a sentence, "Yo-you go-going to wear that outside," while pointing at the t-shirt, "aren''t you going to work?"


    "Mn, now get dressed otherwise you shouldn''t me me if I can''t control my impulses," he said his index finger tugging at the towel covering Wen Qinxi''s chest staring at his masterpiece with armourous eyes but his naughty hand was smacked away making him feel like a kid caught with his hand inside the cookie jar.


    Before Wen Qinxi coulde up with a response Qie Ranzhe was already gone with a spring in his step. The package in his hand finally caught his attention and so he curiously opened it with his towel tracing his body falling off to the floor but the unexpected happened. The door was suddenly opened with Qie Ranzhe peeking his head into the room saying, "I will be waiting fo-....wow," but a sneaker was thrown in his direction which he was able to dodge in time running out the room.


    Twenty minutester, Wen Qinxi came down for breakfast wearing the same outfit just that his t-shirt was yellow written ''Property of the Marshal'' in ck a perfect couple''s costume. He obviously had fun teasing Qie Ranzhe when he first bought the other outfitying im on the Marshal but he didn''t expect for this thing to turn around and bite him in the arse with the man more enthusiastic than he was.


    "Are you going out today," asked Qie Ranzhe cing a bowl of pork congee in front of Zhao Xieshu while staring at the prominent hickey on the omega''s neck making him recall yesterday''s escapades when he had Zhao Xieshu moaning beneath him.


    Wen Qinxi looked down at his t-shirt and answered honestly, "No," while stirring the steaming hot congee.


    Qie Ranzhe standing behind Zhao Xieshu didn''t respond leaning down while wrapping his arm around the prince''s waist. He buried his face in Zhao Xieshu''s neck while taking a picture of the two of them immediately posting it on his Valim Network ount tagging the prince as well.


    When he bought that t-shirt this morning for express delivery, he thought Zhao Xieshu could wear it out and possibly get a few pictures by the press so the entire universe would know who he belonged to but who would have guessed the prince nned on not going anywhere ruining n A. This forced him to execute n B which he seemed to like better.


    Wen Qinxi wasn''t expecting this especially from this dinosaur who didn''t even have any social media ounts in the real world. It was a miracle that he had a Valim Network ount in this world but even if he had it he didn''t post a single thing despite having millions of followers.


    "What are you doing?" asked a flustered Wen Qinxi trying to check his screen but Qie Ranzhe took a step back taunting him,


    "Baby we just started dating, isn''t it a little early in the rtionship to be checking each other''s private messages?"


    Wen Qinxi suddenly felt like an insecure girl trying to check her boyfriend''s phone while his sleeping. "Tsk, you think too highly of yourself. You should be the one checking mymunicator as you know I have so many alphas who have a crush on me. Ai....you should see how many messages I get each day," he said his expression sincere enough to aggravate the Marshal.


    Qie Ranzhe immediately grabbed Zhao Xieshu''smunicator while tossing his to him. "There," he said sitting next to him wanting to see who had the balls to message his omega. What he didn''t know was that Wen Qinxi had tricked him into handing over hismunicator so he could see what Qie Ranzhe posted. If it wasn''t to his liking he would delete the post immediately and the image as well.


    The image was actually good focusing only on his t-shirt with the Marshal''s face buried in his neck that you could only see the top of his head. The corner of his lips quirked up feeling the taste of congee was especially uniquepetely overlooking the bright hickey on his neck.


    "Did you make this?" he asked forgetting how the Marshal lost miserably to a tiny piece of garlic and ginger yesterday. How can a man who couldn''t even differentiate between garlic and ginger be able to cook such a delicious meal?


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t even look at Zhao Xieshu his brows knitted together while going through his omega''smunicator, "No, mum made it and sent it over."


    Wen Qinxi almost choked at these words but Qie Ranzhe didn''t see anything wrong with it. If he did that to his own mother Wen Qinxi''s would surely have a reunion with his long time friend, mom''s house slipper. "You asked your mum to make us breakfast after you slept over at my house?"


    Qie Ranzhe nced over at him twice while replying, "She volunteered to do it in exchange for something," his eyes now focused on Zhao Xieshu''smunicator.


    "Exchange for what?" asked Wen Qinxi suddenly having a bad premonition.


    "A grandchild omega, beta or alpha. She doesn''t mind as long as I get you pregnant," he answered with a serious tone but he didn''t expect to get kicked out the very next second.


    "Marshal you are alreadyte for work. You can''t ck off like this," said Wen Qinxi beckoning for him to leave.


    Qie Ranzhe apparently had no idea what caused a sudden change in Zhao Xieshu''s attitude and tried to negotiate. "Baby, I am not done going through yourmunicator," he said with an aggrieved expression.


    "Take it with you and bring it back when you are done. Take yours as well," he said handing back the Marshal''smunicator while opening the front door, "oh and let''s only meet in public from now on till we are married, okay."


    Wen Qinxi was about to shut the front door when he remembered something. In a swift pace, he kissed Qie Ranzhe''s lips and waved goodbye with a sweet smile before shutting the door. Qie Ranzhe who was standing there like a statue in a museum stupefied was about to open the door again when a message came through from Machu talking about some kind of gem the Marshal was looking for.


    Machu: I found it at an auction house. Do you want me to send someone?


    Qie Ranzhe quickly replied while walking towards his vehicle for the first time in his life doing the ''walk of shame''.


    Marshal: No, I will handle it personally


    As the self driving car drove to UPSF headquarters, Qie Ranzhe finally put down Zhao Xieshu''smunicator with a heavy heart. The omega wasn''t lying there were a lot of alphas trying to get with him though most of them were cklisted with some even cklisted for a century. As a warning to all of them Qie Ranzhe fiddled with hismunicator tagging all of them to his post on Valim Network with the caption had an amazing night. It was only then he felt his heart at ease with a satisfied smilepetely unaware of the category five storm he started on thework.

 Chapter 159: Second World: RanXie

    Chapter 159: Second World: RanXie


    A storm was wreaking havoc in the entire Valim Network including news broadcasters, social media tforms and even talk shows reporting and having discussions on the same subject matter but the two parties who started this mess were still in the darkpletely unaware of the explosion they had caused.


    "I say I didn''t see this shiting, did any of you?" said a talk show host on the celebrity talk show with the highest viewsun the entire empire. His colleagues shook their heads agreeing with him as they too didn''t expect such a turn of events. After Zhao Huangzhi was exposed they thought the emperor would force Qie Ranzhe to marry her to save face but who would have anticipated this turn of events?


    "Our dear Marshal, leader of the entire UPSF fleet, a man so powerful that he can destroy a single by waving his pinky finger actually posted on his Valim Network ount. Not military rted things but this," said the second host with look of excitement on his face pointing at the floating image of Qie Ranzhe hugging someone from behind with his neck buried in that person''s neck. But the second person only showed their chin and lips wearing a yellow t-shirt written ''Property of the Marshal'' in ck.


    "Wow.....now that''s a sexy picture right there," said the third host genuinely entranced by the person in the Marshal''s embrace.


    "Haha the Marshal is so brazen. Look at the caption. Had....an.....amazing....night," said the second host enunciating each word separately with a barrage ofments exploding at light speed that the producer and his interns could barely keep up.


    The first host drank a sip of his coffee before saying, "Maybe it''s something innocent. They probably watched movies all night or something. Why are you all tarnishing our pure Marshal''s good name?"


    "Innocent ha! Look at that. What the fuck is that? Unless you are telling me there''s a lot of mosquitoes in Prince Xieshu''s pavilion," said the the third host circling the conspicuous love bite on Zhao Xieshu''s neck.


    "Wait, wait, wait.....how do you know it''s Prince Xieshu?" said the second host staring at the third host with a meaningful gaze.


    "Because he tagged the prince in it. Isn''t it obvious who is in his arms?" replied the third host baffled by his colleague''s ignorance.


    "Tagging someone doesn''t always mean its them in the image. Look he even tagged multiple alphas in the post. It could be one of them. Maybe the Marshal is having an alpha to alpha rtionship or perhaps he''s showing off his new me to Prince Xieshu. Who knows, it could be Princess Huangzhi in the image," said the second host.


    "I think it''s about time you visit your optician because you are definitely going blind. That''s clearly a man in that image and please don''t discuss that fraud of a Princess it brings back terrifying memories," said the first host with goosebumps all over his body recalling the footage that was circting online of Zhao Huangzhi kidnapping the Marshal and pretended as though they had slept together just to get him to take responsibility. Though various websites were shut down because of that footage it would still pop up here and there exposing Zhao Huangzhi''s true nature.


    "Here is further evidence to prove my point. Apparently someone took a picture of the general today. Take a look and tell me what you see," said the the third host pulling up the hazy image that was obviously taken from afar with great difficulty. It wasn''t clear but you could make up some words on the t-shirt.


    "I am more surprised that the Marshal is actually dressed in casual wear. That man is so stiff and boring ill-matched with Prince Xieshu. If Princess Huangzhi didn''t screw up they should have ended up together. The Marshal is too strict and boring for our fun loving omega," said the second host barely studying the image.


    "No, actually you missed the point. His t-shirt clearly says ''XieXie''s Private Property''. This is obviously a couples wear. A cute idea if I might say," replied the third host zooming in on the font on the Marshal''s t-shirt. Though they cleaned up the zoomed image there were still some font that was blurry but one could still make out the important parts.


    "I can''t see thest part well but it must be that. Maybe we should ask our audience what they think?" said the first host referring to their online viewers.


    "Leave yourments and let us know what you think.....Oh, by the way our producer found something pretty interesting," said the third host his roguish eyes staring in the second host''s direction.


    "What?" asked the first host now also staring at the second host as well.


    "He was also tagged in the post..... hahahaha," said the third host pointing at second host who didn''t think he would get exposed.


    "Aiyo.....so it''s either you are in a rtionship with the Marshal or he''s warning you stay the fuck away from Prince Xieshu, am I right?"


    "Fuck!" cursed the second host his lips so dry and chapped you did think he hadn''t drunk water for four days straight.


    "Wait a minute, is that why you were saying it''s not Prince Xieshu? Are you interested in him?" asked the first host his expression seeming as though he discovered something of value.


    There was no use in denying it so the second host didn''t say anything just in case he says something that would poke the hos'' nest. It was obvious what the Marshal was implying. Though subtle it was a highly effective threat warning him to stay away. He did be very stupid if he persisted in his pursuit for Zhao Xieshu.


    "I guess the take away from this saga is stay the fuck away from Prince Xieshu otherwise....," said the first host with the third host finishing off his sentence,


    "You will be skinned alive by the Marshal."


    "That''s not what I wanted to say but that''s a much better description that what I wanted to say. By the way there is CP name for the Marshal and Prince Xieshu circting online," said the first host while pulling up the trending hot search #RanXie causing furthermotion on Valim Network.

 Chapter 160: Second World: Dont Screw With The Marshal

    Chapter 160: Second World: Don''t Screw With The Marshal


    While the Marshal was trending on Valim Network for none military reasons he was strolling towards the secure conference room for a meeting with his generals. He was so immersed in his own little world that he didn''t notice the gazes directed at him by his subordinates. The military personnel were taken aback by the the Marshal''s outfit. First of all this was the first time they had seen him dressed casually and top it all off, the words written on his t-shirt were shocking enough to vaniquish one''s soul. This caused a stir in the entire base reducing productivity as that t-shirt was too distractive.


    Qie Ranzhe was obviously blind to all this so he didn''t notice their exaggerated reaction that is until he entered the secure conference room. Stunned, Machu spit out a mouthful of water in his mouth sshing everywhere in a perfect spit-take asking "What the hell are you wearing?" with a haunted expression.


    Qie Ranzhe red at him without saying a word making the man nervous as he cleaned up the mess with some napkins. He had spent enough time with Qie Ranzhe to know how much of a neat freak he was hence his quick response so as not to offend the Marshal any further.


    "You can''t me me for this when you are parading the entire base wearing that," said Machu wiping away the water droplets.


    As the rm rang six screens simultaneously lit up as six generals made their appearance for the weekly report but didn''t expect to see such a skin crawling scene. All of them tried to maintain a straight face but it looked so unnatural.


    General three: What the fuck is he wearing


    This was the message sent to the other generals after he created a new encrypted chat group without the Marshal in it.


    General six: He looks so cute. XieXie''s Private Property hahaha. I am going to make my girlfriend wear something like that.


    General one: I think he knocked his head on something. Either that or his gone mad.


    General four: Not mad. He''s a love sick puppy. What kind of love portion did Zhao Xieshu use? I want some of that.


    General one: I suggest you watch your words otherwise we might get caught again.


    General three: I made sure he isn''t in it this time. Did you see his post this morning? He is a whipped boyfriend hahaha.


    General five: More like henpecked and all it took was the Marshal gettingid. That hickey on Xieshu was definitely our Marshal''s doing.


    General six: Are you kidding? Does he even know how sex works. Look at him, his too staid.


    Just as the sixth General sent her message the entire screen went nk with an error message shing on their group chat.


    Error 572: this chat group has been suspended.


    Generals, "...."


    "Fuck! We are dead," mumbled the third General averting his gaze.


    After thest incident, the Marshal had Weasel nt a bug in the system that whatever group chat they create encrypted or not Qie Ranzhe would have ess to it. He stopped Machu who was presenting some boring statistics and said, "Whipped boyfriend, love sick and doesn''t know how sex works?" in a gentle yet oppressive tone that sent chills down their spines. Judging from his dark soulless eyes the impending punishment could only be severe. Machu secretely lit candles for the generals who were now praying for mercy but what happened next came as a surprise.


    "For your own information I know how sex works. My father exined everything to me two days ago plus I did some research before hand. And what''s wrong with being a whipped or henpecked boyfriend? Is it necessarily a bad thing," said Qie Ranzhe his tone defensive and panicked. These six people plus Machu could count as his trusted confidants that he could confide in as they had gone through thick and thin together but this was the first time he ever divulged personal details to them.


    The six people struggled to restrain themselves snickering while trying to keep a straight face. In the end, it was Machu who couldn''t hold back bursting inughter while saying, "Pfft...you asked the retired Marshal for hahahahaha sex advice? I am sorry, am so sorry Ran-ge....hahahaha, don''t be mad its just too fuckin funny," leading to the other generalsughing themselves to tears.


    Qie Ranzhe''s face darkened, these seven people had to be punished as they were getting toofortable around him. He wasn''t going to let them off easy. Theirmunicators suddenly shed notifications at the same time with the exact same message except for Machu.


    UPSF Weapon Division: Macha upgrade cancelled


    "AAAAHHHH! Marshal that''s a bit excessive," said the sixth General with a wan expression. Qie Ranzhe was gifted advanced Mecha ns by Zhao Xieshu which he decided to apply on the generals'' mecha including his own which was a confidential project that even the emperor himself didn''t know about. It was a need to know basis kind of project.


    "Still talking?" he asked in a menacing voice.


    UPSF Weapon Division: TX32 advanced pistol delivery dyed.


    The entire room fell silent their hearts hurting but couldn''t voice out their grievances as Machu carried on with his presentation. After the meeting ended, Qie Ranzhe head straight for the base hangar handing over Zhao Xieshu''smunicator to Machu.


    "I am going to the auction house over at Tristan. Give this to Xieshu and don''t tell him where I am going," he said intending to surprise Zhao Xieshu with a unique wedding ring custom designed for him but the precious gem was on a trading known as Tristan a few light years away.


    Machu understood what he meant but his mind was little preupied wondering why he wasn''t punished when he obviously incited others tough. He could say he was the group leader. Qie Ranzhe could clearly read Machu''s expression and said, "Your punishment is special. Check UPSF official website and you will understand," before entering his warship. It was only after the Marshal had departed that he left for his office but people kept on giving him funny looks along the way. Some group of girls were openly giggling with one of them saying, "Great dancing skills Admiral."


    It was only then that he quickened his steps reaching his office in a sh before opening the official website in haste. To his dismay, Qie Ranzhe had posted a video of him doing the chicken dance while drunk on his birthday and now everyone in the entire base had seen it. All because he poked fun at the Marshal. He should have known Qie Ranzhe was indeed too petty.


    ***


    A few streets over in the royal pce Emperor Zhao was busy counting his loses. Seventy percent of his secret bases in severals had been bombed by some unknown persons greatly reducing his private army''s strength. This put him in desperate position. He had to gain control of the entire UPSF fleet as quickly as possible as he couldn''t shake the feeling that someone was plotting aganist him. Whoever it was wouldn''t be able to achieve their goal with the UPSF fleet backing him up but to achieve this he had to get rid of the Marshal.


    "What is your n of action?" he asked the mysterious cloaked man who had been silently watching him in the shadows.


    "The Marshal just left Valim for the Tristan. When he passes the zerg territory I will intercept him and use the EMP device. The zerg will do the rest. A lot of zerg died in the Marshal''s hands so naturally they won''t let him walk off that alive," said the cloaked man hoping to get Zhao Xieshu to his side once he eliminates the Marshal.


    "Good. Once your n seeds I will have Zhao Xieshu married off to some peasant family. I will also convince the council to transfer UPSF fleet''smand to me and lead them to destroy the entire zerg race to avenge the Marshal earning me the generals'' trust," said Emperor Zhaomending himself for a wless n.

 Chapter 161: Second World: Hickey Spills XieXies Secrets

    Chapter 161: Second World: Hickey Spills XieXie''s Secrets


    Wen Qinxi heaved a sigh of relief once he kicked out Qie Ranzhe. He suddenly understood the pressure women faced in society to hurry up get married and have children. Frustrated he finished off his congee that suddenly tasted like sawdust in his mouth. This congee was meant as bribe for his omega womb leaving a lingering sour taste in his mouth. His goal was to help his boss get out of the game not have in-game babies with him.


    He angrily cleared up the dishes before heading off to his secret room to engage in yet another round of PK aganist the mysterious cube shaped box that was mocking his intelligence. He vowed to bash it open if he couldn''t figure it out by end of day.


    After two hours of engaging in a cold war with the box an unexpected guest forced him to cease fire. Puzzled, he checked the security camera only to find Machu peering at the camera his face so close he could see the Admiral''s nose hairs.


    Using the inte he reprimanded him saying, "What in the world are you doing? Are you trying to eat my camera or something?"


    Startled, Machu took a step back nervously fixing his clothes. He had somehow managed to embarrass himself in front of the boss'' future wife. "S-sorry your Highness. I....um....I brought this for you," he said lifting up themunicator. Actually he didn''t have to bring it in himself, delivery would have worked just fine but he was curious to know how Zhao Xieshu managed to train no train was the wrong word, managed to turn his boss into a loyal love sick puppy especially when the Marshal didn''t like him much from the beginning. Another reason was that he had to get out the office with that embarrassing chicken dance video circting among his colleagues.


    Wen Qinxi didn''t dally any longer opening the door for him to let him in but Machu refused to enter the prince''s pavilion standing outside the door while handing him themunicator. His reason wasn''t for the sake of the prince''s reputation or it being inappropriate for an alpha being alone with an omega. No, his reason was Qie Ranzhe''s possessive jealous nature which he had personally witnessed growing up together. If he could be jealous over his puppy licking Machu''s hand then how about Machu being alone in a room with the prince.


    Back then Qie Ranzhe ignored him for two weeks never letting him y with his puppy ever again how about now? The punishment would probably be much more severe. He shuddered at the thought of how Qie Ranzhe would retaliate subconsciously taking another step back.


    Wen Qinxi was befuddled by his reaction leading him to say, "Admiral, are you afraid I will bite you?"


    Machu anxiously rubbed the back of his neck handing over themunicator without answering Zhao Xieshu''s question. "The Marshal told me to give this to you," he said as his gaze fell on the t-shirt Zhao Xieshu was wearing. It seemed the Marshal wasn''t the only fool struck by love. All his worries suddenly disappeared pleased to know that at least the feelings were mutual.


    "Oh, thanks," replied Wen Qinxi finding the possessive Qie Ranzhe quite humorous. The guy actually went through his entiremunicator to see who he was talking to, "So you aren''t going toe in?"


    "No, actually l was wondering how you....ahem....um.....well, I really don''t how to ask this. You know how stiff Ran-ge is yet in such a short time you have him running around in casual clothes and posting on Valim Network. Please don''t be offended it''s just that I have known him since childhood and this kind of behavior sprung out of nowhere which makes me worry," said Machu pouring out his heart in concern for the Marshal. Qie Ranzhe was so high in love but this kind of love was the type that could destroy a man once it got shut down. If their rtionship didn''t work out he was fairly certain Qie Ranzhe wouldn''t be able toe back from this.


    Wen Qinxi didn''t know what to say but he could understand Machu''s concerns. "I don''t know why there is sudden change in behavior but one thing you should know is that I am not his enemy and all I want is for him to seed so you don''t have to be on guard aganist me," he said his face revealing an earnest and heartfelt expression that put Machu''s heart at ease. Wen Qinxi had tomend Qie Ranzhe for having such a loyal friend looking out for him in game and in the real world.


    Machu seemed satisfied by this answer with his entire body rxing with a beaming smile. With that he excused himself heading back to the headquarters in a hurry as though afraid to stay a minute longer.


    Wen Qinxi leisuirely returned to his desk while checking hismunicator for any missed calls or messages only to find his inbox packed with an overwhelming amount of messages all of them linked to to his Valim Network ount but none of them seemed relevant ignoring them with no second thought.


    It was then that he received a video call request from Xiao Hua who had called him three times already. Thinking it was something important, Wen Qinxi epted the video call request but instantly regreted it soon after.


    "Xie Xie did you sleep wellst night?" said the pink haired omega with a mocking smile seated on a carpet in what seemed to be his bedroom.


    Wen Qinxi, "....."


    "Wait don''t answer yet," said Xiao Hua linking in the rest of Xianxi on the call initiating a conference call. Even Captain Rueda and Meng Prof weren''t spared also getting roped into this meaningless conversation. At first nce you would think they were discussing some important mission not Zhao Xieshu''s extra curriculum activities.


    "Someone had an eventful eveningst night even leaving some evidence behind and feeding us a mouthful of dog food with that couple''s wear. Ai.....so jealous," said Teng pushing her twin away who taking more than half of the screen.


    Wen Qinxi was struck dumb lost as to what evidence she was referring to and Captain Rueda could clearly see the confusion in his eyes so she helped him gesturing with her own neck the exact location of that conspicuous hickey. Wen Qinxi''s eyes widened picking up themunicator heading for the bathroom to stare at the now deep purple hickey confessingst night''s events to the entire universe.


    "The Marshal did a number on youst night, didn''t he? It must have been that good that he woke upying im on you to the entire universe. Hahahahaha...Xie Xie you are a fuckin legend," said Hauidan with a proud look on his face like a parent at their child''s graduation except in this case it was a graduation ceremony for attaining a degree in bedroom affairs.


    "No.....you misunderstand it''s not what you think," said Wen Qinxi rummaging through his bathroom cab for a band aid to cover up his shame.


    "Xie Xie how did you manage to bewitch an alpha without using an ounce of your pheromones?" said Tong his head lying on Teng''s shoulder like a spoilt child. This question was indeed valid considering that Prof''s suppressant was at a godly level and no alpha pheromones in the entire universe could surpass it''s strength. No matter how much pheromones an alpha released in the presence of Xianxi team members, they would be the least bit affected barely producing a significant amount of their omega pheromones as a natural response.


    "Don''t speak nonsense. Nothing of great importance happenedst night. Don''t you guys have something else to do?" replied Wen Qinxi stering a band aid on the hickey concealing it from the rest of world but it was already toote, everyone had seen it already.

 Chapter 162: Second World: Bestman Position Up For Grabs

    Chapter 162: Second World: Bestman Position Up For Grabs


    The professor who was always silent for the most part finally spoke up saying, "There is no use in hiding it now. The entire universe knows you and the Marshal had an awesome night. Look at thements," showing the image circting online.


    Wen Qinxi had obviously seen it before but at that time he had overlooked that ambiguous red mark on his neck and now everyone knew. "Oh shit!" he swore his face scarlet red. This was too shameful. He did enjoy what they didst night but didn''t want the entire world to know about it.


    "Oh, don''t be embrassed. We are all adults here. Plus everyone is celebrating your rtionship especially after the whole Zhao Huangzhi saga. Maybe this will make her lose hope and abandon ship," said the Captain sympathizing with Zhao Xieshu.


    "You wish. That Zhao Huangzhi is like a fuckin leech she won''t give up till she sucks you dry," replied Wen Qinxi while messaging the Marshal asking him to take down that post.


    A few light years away Qie Ranzhe received a notification and once he realized the message was from Zhao Xieshu, he jolted up in excitement reading what his baobei sent to him but his heart soon sank when he read the message.


    NaughtyPrince: Take down the picture and anyone who reposted it. Everyone saw the mark you left on mest night.


    Wen Qinxi patiently awaited a response while listening the the team yammering on about what their babies would look like and who among them would be the godparents. "Such fuckin nonsense. This ancestor is not fathering anyone," he said walking back to his secret room. Just then Qie Ranzhe''s response came in. As he read it he could feel the tyrannical rage that came along with it his tone imperative.


    SexyDaddyRan: Not happening.


    Frustrated Wen Qinxi nervously rubbed his thumb against his index finger trying hard to ignore the conversation happening in the background.


    "I saw an edible lingerie store thest time we fought the zerg. It would be perfect for Xie Xie''s bachelor party," said the enthusiastic Hauidan sharing the store website.


    "More like a sex education ss. Xie Xie is utterly clueless when ites to this stuff. We constantly have to remind him to take his supressant," replied Teng but Wen Qinxi didn''t respond trying to negotiate with the Marshal,


    NaughtyPrince: I will let you temporary mark me tonight if you take it down.


    "As if you know how coitus works.....Aiyo....Teng-jie why are hitting me?" said Tong mocking his twin sister whichnded him a p at the back of his neck.


    "As the best man, I will naturally be responsible for all that so there is no use fighting," replied a boastful Xiao Hua iming the best man position for a wedding that hadn''t even been nned yet.


    "I am sorry but I have to interject. I am obviously Xie Xie''s best man as I have contributed so much to this team. The mecha upgrades and weapons you solely enjoy were all of my design so I should be best man," said the Prof pushing up his sses his bullshit meter in the red zone. His reasoning was obviously stupid but who was brave enough to call him out on his BS.


    "You are awfully talkative today. Did you take the wrong medicine?" asked Teng pushing her brother off her shoulders once more.


    This small unresolved matter actually started a disagreement among the five of them with the captain acting as a refeere but Wen Qinxi was the least bit concerned impatiently waiting for a response. Just when he was about to send a follow-up message, Qie Ranzhe finally responded.


    SexyDaddyRan: Deal.


    SexyDaddyRan: Won''te tonight but tomorrow. Will the offer still stand?


    Wen Qinxi suddenly felt something was amiss with his response but didn''t think much of it agreeing on the spot.


    NaughtyPrince: Sure as long as you take it down today.


    Thirty secondster the entire Valim Network erupted in anger with the trending image erased on all online tforms and for those who had downloaded the image on theirmunicators, it was also erased leaving behind aughing skull courtesy of the infamous UPSF hacker, Shadow.


    A pleased smile crept up on Wen Qinxi''s face praising the Marshal for being too powerful forgetting that poweres at a cost a cost so high making him regret his decision in the not so distant future.


    It was only then did be shift his attention to the group of noisy omegas fighting over such a trivial matter. "How about you fight it out in the desert. Whoever wins will have the honour of being my best man. Same rules apply," said Wen Qinxi his great mood evident. He knew these adrenaline junkies wouldn''t pass up an opportunity to show off their mecha fighting skills thus he suggested such a childish means of handling it.


    "Wait.....I can''t fight," said the Prof feeling a little left out. He really couldn''t fight though he has designed countless mechas.


    "Easy, Captain is not interested in the position so she will fight in your stead," replied Wen Qinxi ready to end this pointless conversation.


    "Fuck no! Cap is too vicious. Thispetition is unfair,"ined Xiao Hua recalling each time he suffered defeat in the merciless hands of Captain Rueda.


    A wolfish smile appeared on Wen Qinxi''s face saying, "Would you rather I do it?"


    Everyone except for the captain and prof echoed a loud No! Involving Zhao Xieshu would be a definite win for the professor as they stood zero chance if they fought one on one with Zhao Xieshu. Even the captain who had fought countless battles could notpare with Zhao Xieshu then what about them? They would rather take their chances with the captain.


    "Then go practice. The showdown will be tomorrow at noon," said Wen Qinxi before ending the call.


    Just when he finally shut out the outside world attempting to try and electrocute the box open, he was startled by Xia Bai''s voice electrocuting himself. "Shit.....," he said as a small electric current coursed through his arm before letting go, "it betterbe a fuckin emergency Xia Bai otherwise you are dead." He directed his anger at Xia Bai as he couldn''t be angry with a brainless current.


    "Heard you had an amazing night," said an excited Xia Bai curious to know how these two progressed so fast. He was seeking wisdom from this ancestor that managed to drive their CEO crazy in two worlds. Maybe some advice from Wen Qinxi would help him catch his prey.


    Wen Qinxi, "....."

 Chapter 163: Second World: Eat My Dust

    Chapter 163: Second World: Eat My Dust


    In ancient times when the family of the bride disapproved their union, the groom had to resort to kidnapping the bride. On the day of the wedding the groom had to choose a man who was the best at handling swords and beat the crap out of the bride''s family if they cause trouble trying to take back their daughter thus the term ''best man''. But who would have thought Wen Qinxi would actually have his omega friends fighting over that very same position. Actually, this showdown was not necessarily a bad thing as it would determine who would be the best at being the best man just in case someone tried to steal his bride aka the Marshal away so he watched the five of them fight it out in military grade mechas in the middle of the desert.


    As expected Tong was the first to be eliminated and funny enough he was eliminated by his twin Teng who could be heard yelling in her purple Mecha, "You suck Tong Tong! HAHAHAHA!" followed by a string of evilughter but she was to engrossed in her victory that she didn''t see Hauidaning, "...AAAAAHHHH!...Who the fuck did that?" Thest part was said as she fell t on her face outside the arena having been eliminated.


    "Eat my dust Te, haha," said Hauidan in his turquoise mecha before flying off to seek a new target.


    Wen Qinxi couldn''t helpugh at thisical scene even going as far as taunting Teng who was still lying on the group unable to ept defeat. "Karma is a bitch, ain''t it Te?" he said with a mocking smile watching on a giant screen at the base.


    "Xie-dage aren''t you shameless, gloating over my misfortune. I will even settle to be a flower girl or something as long as you let me participate," she said with Tong helping her up.


    Wen Qinxi wheezed a little before saying, "I am afraid Su, the Marshal''s alpha sister won''t be too happy about that. You would have to negotiate with her."


    "Shit! You mean I have to fight an eight-year-old to get that position too? I guess I have to bully my way into this wedding," said Teng wondering how she was going to strong arm Su and be the flower girl.


    Tong pat his sister''s shoulder encouraging her, "Don''t worry too much it''s just a tiny alpha. You would definitely pull a fast one on her like stealing candy from a baby." Little did they know that that little alpha wasn''t rted to the Marshal in name only she was as stubborn as he was giving the two omegas a run for their money.


    Wen Qinxi knew Su''s character too well but didn''t want to warn them as it would ruin a good show. Whilementing on this, he received a video request from Machu and didn''t hesitate answering it as the Admiral never called him so it must be important.


    As soon as the call connected Machu''s taut voice reached his eyes. The Admiral''s expression was grave his face ashen with panda eyes as though he hadn''t slept in the past twenty-four hours.


    He was scurrying down a passage in what seemed to be a warship and only began to exin the purpose of his call after reaching the captain''s cabin. "Prince Xieshu I am sorry I should have made this call sooner.....um....is there a way we can speak in private?" he said noticing a scrawny looking omega in sses seated on a work bench behind Zhao Xieshu. Wen Qinxi followed his line of sight only to see the Prof studying a string of data with a fixed gaze. Seeing this Wen Qinxi couldn''t help but reprimand him.


    "Cap is fighting on your behalf yet you can''t even cheer her on ying with your statistics data," he said having met a workaholic worse than himself.


    "What? This is more interesting than that besides I already know the captain is going to win and I am just waiting collect my winnings.....Oh, hie Admiral," replied the Prof before fixing his gaze on the numbers once more.


    Machu was taken aback by the stranger''s address his eyes squinted for a second but he soon recovered recalling the urgency of his video call. Wen Qinxi entered his office the door closing behind him. He already had an idea of what Machu was calling to say he just didn''t want to believe Qie Ranzhe actually left the without saying anything to him.


    "What is it?" he asked in an unhurried tone vowing to put the Marshal in the dog house as soon as he got him back from the zerg. That ought to teach the Marshal not to run around without telling him. He was even thinking of dying the rescue just to teach him a lesson but he was afraid some ident would ur leading to even more irreparable damage.


    "Yesterday the Marshal left to buy.....ahem....um....no he went on a mission," said Machu swiftly changing his words as he was about to spoil the surprise forgetting that they might be far worse things than spoiling the surprise if the Marshal was not found, "but we lost contact with him soon after. We searched hisst known location before he vanished but couldn''t find him. What I am trying to say is that the Marshal went MIA (missing in action) at 15:00pm Valim time yesterday."


    Wen Qinxi was stunned speechless whenhe realised that they had waited twenty-four hours before telling him that Qie Ranzhe was missing. He at least thought the Marshal had been missing maybe for a couple of hours as to why he didn''t call him personally? It was because he thought the Marshal was busy based on their conversation yesterday. Besides he was expecting to see him tonight so he didn''t think much of it.


    Anxiety, fear and anger were written all over his face with his onlyfort being that he knew where he was. He hoped that zerg kept his word otherwise he would personally blow up that zerg''s brains out without any hesitation.


    "Admiral keep searching," he said instantly cutting off the transmission before calling the captain to issue out orders. Emperor Zhao had made his move and now it was time for him to cripple the emperor''s backers and strip him of his power. "Captain Rueda y time is over. Initiate clean up," he said before entering White Baine setting off without saying another word.


    His state of mind was extremely chaotic as he kept staring nkly into space not sure what to think. He had had this conversation with Qie Ranzhe a long time ago that the Marshal should always disclose his ns to him but it seemed like his words entered one ear and exited the other without entering the hot-head''s brain.

 Chapter 164: Second World: Zerg Marriage Alliance

    Chapter 164: Second World: Zerg Marriage Alliance


    This is when he recalled something crucial and that something was Jolie that haughty system that seemed to forget to do its job at this critical juncture.


    "I am here, no need to call me or anything. Now, I know what you are thinking so no need to scold me. Boss reserve your energy and I will scold myself on your behalf. I am a f#^#%&@$^@& and my entire family is a #^$&*$^$##*#&#. Oh, and my future generations are all #%&&$^#*....how is that? Good enough?" said the system that was so unlucky appearing at the right ce at the wrong time.


    Wen Qinxi wasn''t appeased in the slightest but didn''t say a word ignoring the system. If anything went wrong and he had to start this world all over again he was going to really rece Jolie and he meant it this time. Jolie never felt this terrified being given a cold shoulder by the usually talkative Wen Qinxi. It would have preferred being cursed out to high heaven at least it could deduce Wen Qinxi''s state of mind but now he was as quiet as a mouse terrifying the living daylights out of the system.


    "Everything will be fine boss. I am sure Qie Ranzhe is probably sipping on some afternoon tea with the zerg singing the kumbaya around the campfire," said the system trying to lighten the atmosphere with a joke but it backfired with an overpowering murderous intenting from a silent Wen Qinxi. After that the system yed dead keeping its mouth shut so as not to further infuriate the angry bull otherwise it might get fired for ipetence.


    After six hours of warp speed, White Baine finally made a sudden appearance in the zerg territory weapons drawn pointing at in all directions of the. The reason why he appeared hostile was just in case the so-called zerg had memories like that of a gold fish and attacked him as soon as he reached their airspace and he was right. As soon as he made his appearance he found a dozen tyranid prowler drone ships and one tyranid razorfield cruiser as big as his own warship heading his way surrounding him.


    As expected of the zerg they were already armed ready to blow his warship to bits with no warning. Wen Qinxi hacked their telepathicmunication using biotechnology addressing the entire. The fact that he could do this meant he could also screw with their brains if he wished disrupting their means ofmunication making it easy to defeat them but that was only if they didn''tply.


    "Yagdra," he said calling out the zerg he let go after the mall incident, "time to pay the piper. Give back what belongs to me," he said in zerg baffling the zerg in the tyranid ships surrounding him.


    "Who are you and what do you want with our Overlord?" said the zerg Devourer in the tyranid razorfield cruiser ready to fire at a moments notice. If it were up to him, he would have annihted this terrain on the spot especially after the arrogant fool infiltrated their telepathicmunication and could even speak zerg. This warship was an absolute threat to their existence but he couldn''t act without the Overlord''smand.


    "Salva, stand down. This is not the way to treat our savior," said Yagdra who was currently sitting in the hall of counsers guarding theirst Overmind.


    "Your Highness please lower your weapons and join me at these coordinates," he said as the zerg units dispersed.


    "Boss he might not habour pure intentions towards you so be careful," said the system trying to score some brownie points with Wen Qinxi but he didn''t say anything instructing Meng Huangse to vigntly watch over White Baine and shot on sight if anyone other than himself approached.


    He entered his mecha which transformed into a spaceship. He couldn''t enter the zerg territory with White Baine as there was no suitable terrain for it tond. In less than ten minutes, he descended into the zerg heading for the coordinates set by Yagdra. As soon as he touched ground he exited his mecha wearing his space suit before returning his mecha back into his interspatal pendant.


    He was met by a grey dark with an atmosphere only suitable for the zerg race to survive. Surrounding him were terrifying creatures that looked as real as day staring at him, some with curiosity others with anger like they wanted to tear him apart right then and there. Though they were terrifying, Wen Qinxi knew they couldn''t do anything to him. The zerg operated on hive based system meaning they wouldn''t attack unless instructed by either their Overlord or Overmind.


    He soon entered the hall of counselors and as expected their Overmind was heavily guarded by dozens of Devourers as the this small race of zerg wouldn''t be able to survive without their Overmind.


    "Your Highness you have finally paid us a visite sit," said Yagdra seeming more buff that thest time they met. Wen Qinxi didn''t respond sitting down next to Yagdra his expression sullen as he was not in the mood for some idle chit chat.


    "Where is he?" asked Wen Qinxi clearly stating his business.


    A flicker of disappointment shed in Yagdra''s eyes before they quickly returned to normal. "I will give him to you but first you need to deliver on your promise. I am sure you can understand our anxiety. We are a dying race with the entire universe gunning for our extinction. I can''t give him to you unless you can give me some form of guarantee that our race will be left unharmed."


    Wen Qinxi expected this and had a n in ce but he was curious what kind of guarantee the zerg cooked up do he asked.


    "And what sort of guarantee do you want?"


    "A peace treaty by a marriage alliance," said the Overmind emerging from behind the wall of security formed by the Devourer unit, "Your marriage to the Overlord is the only thing that could make us feel at ease and release the Marshal."


    Wen Qinxi, "..."


    "You must be shitting me?"

 Chapter 165: Second World: Unreasonably Jealous Man

    Chapter 165: Second World: Unreasonably Jealous Man


    The words marriage alliance echoed in Wen Qinxi''s mind causing his genius brain to short circuit while nkly staring at the two zerg leaders. He wanted to congratte them for finally gaining the ability to crack jokes but judging from their expressions this wasn''t a prank of any kind though in all honesty their zerg faces always wore one expression and that expression can only be described as scary.


    There was no way in hell that was happening even marrying Qie Ranzhe was a stretch how about this horrendous zerg that could easily tear him to pieces while he was asleep. What about marital duties? ''Fuck! Not going to go there,'' he thought extricating himself from this horrifying line of thought. He would choose getting bitten by Qie Ranzhe any day.


    "I didn''t know your race has a good sense of humor," said Wen Qinxi with the corner of his lips quirked up into a smirk his back as straight as a ramrod.


    The Overmind wore the same scary expression sitting right next to the Overlord before rifying further. "Throughout history the marriage alliance was the most effective alliance strengthing ties for both parties especially in such a situation were trust is.....nonexistent," said the Overmind strongly emphasizing thest word.


    Wen Qinxi was unfazed by his words but had to stir the conversation in a more progressive direction as he had other pressing matters.


    In a few taps he disyed a holographic image from hismunicator and said, "Believe me a marriage alliance would only lead your race intoplete annihtion as I am sure you already know I promised to marry the Marshal as he''s a very.....unreasonably jealous man so this is the best I can offer," said Wen Qinxi pointing at the image disying the finalized draft of a peace treaty with the zerg.


    "Do you love him that much?" asked Yagdra without any regard to whether the question was sensitive or not.


    Wen Qinxi almost spit out a mouthful of blood. How was he supposed to answer that question? ''What the fuck is this? A dating game?'' he thought wishing he had these many contenders in the real world at least he wouldn''t be a lonely workaholic.


    "Like? Yes. Love? Well.....it''s a littleplicated. Trust me this is the best possible oue but the only issue is...you need to sign this with the Marshal not me," he replied with a look that seemed to say ''you better fuckin drop that subject''. Yagdra seemed to understand his meaning reading through the treaty but the Overmind wasn''t at all pleased silently voicing his concerns.


    "What makes you think the Marshal would agree to sign this? And why would he agree when I personally attacked his parents. Wouldn''t any man seek vengeance for those who harmed his family rather than form an alliance? You terrains are famous for holding grudges," said the Overlord satisfied by the terms of the treaty that were favorable in all aspects.


    "He will do it because I said so," replied Wen Qinxi as a reckless answer escaped his lips without carefully thinking it through. If the Overmind didn''t mention it he wouldn''t have realised the meaning behind his own words.


    "So the Marshal would overlook the countlessrades lost by our hand, an assassination attempt on him and his family''s life to sign this peace treaty and break bread with his enemies just because you said so?" asked the Overmind with a hint of mirth stirring up trouble, "are you really worth that much to this Marshal?"


    Wen Qinxi was tongue-tied unable to answer that question. Did he truly overestimate himself or would Qie Ranzhe actually do it? While Wen Qinxi was seriously thinking this through the Overmind didn''t hesitate sending over people to bring back the Marshal who was currently sedated locked up in a dungeon.


    Why a dungeon? This was the safest ce to keep him as the entire race knew the Marshal of the UPSF fleet, the man responsible for cutting their race in half had fallen from the sky right in their territory like a sacrificialmb.The bystanders at that time would have torn him to shreds but the Overlord intercepted at the right time. Yagdra had promised the prince he would protect Qie Ranzhe if this ever happened but that didn''t mean he had to provide the Marshal with special treatment so he didn''t hesitate throwing him in a dungeon. Whatever happened inside was none of his concern as long as the Marshal didn''t die he would have fulfilled his end of the bargain.


    "If he refuses to sign then we would have no choice but to bring the previous proposal back on the table. I promise to treat you well if you agree to marry me," said Yagdra awaiting the Marshal''s arrival but what he didn''t know was that when he spoke those words Qie Ranzhe was already standing by the door with two guards escorting him into the hall of counsers. The Marshal had fought countless battles with the zerg and it was only natural he had a basic understanding of thenguage. He had no time to be surprised by Zhao Xieshu''s ability to understand the zerg''snguage as rage took over him making him act impulsive.


    The half dead Marshal with a severe migraine and half-lidded bloodshot eyes suddenly woke up with a surge of anger springing up from no where. Disregarding the fact that he was in enemy territory, in two strides he suddenly grabbed hold of Yagdra''s neck emitting a bone chilling aura of kill intent his eyes as deadly as a ferocious beast on a night hunt.


    Yagdra was easily subdued by him but didn''t freight with anger signaling to the Devourers to stand down. Wen Qinxi''s face paled as he tried to separate the two with great difficulty. It was as though Qie Ranzhe couldn''t hear him his grip tightenening even more. What made it worse was the amount of alpha pheromones seeping out of the angry alpha which affected Wen Qinxi. Though the effect was minimum it was enough to soften his legs. Of course, he was its only victim as to the zerg it merely smelt like an expensive perfume.


    Wen Qinxi''s legs couldn''t hold on any longer instantly turning to jelly as he tumbled to the floor.

 Chapter 166: Second World: Clingy Alpha

    Chapter 166: Second World: Clingy Alpha


    Only then did Qie Ranzhe let go reaching out to grab his arm and pulled him into his embrace while regaining control of himself. ''I will kill him if he as much as thinks Xieshu''s name,'' he thought intimately hugging the prince his chilly line of sight on Yagdra as though issuing out a warning.


    It was after Zhao Xieshu pushed him away did he finally restrain himself following closely behind the prince as though he had reced Zhao Xieshu''s shadow with an aggrieved expression. It was only when Zhao Xieshu sat down that he discovered a minor setback that there was no other chair close to the prince that he could sit on with the next avable seat three feet away. Without giving it a second thought he grabbed the other chair noisily dragged it over living no visible gap between them practically glueing himself to Zhao Xieshu and not the glue stick type of glueing but the industrial heavy duty adhesive kind. They were sitting so close that you did think they were conjoined twins.


    Wen Qinxi could literally feel his cheeks burning up with embrassement. He could sense something was up with Qie Ranzhe but he couldn''t quite put his finger on it but there was only one word he could think of which was ''clingy''. He finally toughened up bravely facing Qie Ranzhe while checking to see if he had any missing parts or injuries and as expected he did.


    The Marshal had a busted lip, a deep cut on his left eyebrow, purple bruises on his arms which one could attribute to his fall from this sky but that wasn''t all.


    An amused Qie Ranzhe watched as the red-faced omega felt him up all over inspecting his body for injuries making his heart melt into a warm spring. Zhao Xieshu wasn''t angry with him instead he was caring for him publicly disying his affection. Of course, Zhao Xieshu would never marry that zerg as he felt like he held a special ce in his omega''s heart.


    With that thought the raging waves finally calmed within him as an enchanting smile appeared on his face bewitching Wen Qinxi. "Did you miss me?" he asked in a charming low voice that made Wen Qinxi''s ears itch.


    Wen Qinxi unconsciously held his breathe his heart beat quickening but he soon recalled the Marshal was currently under probation so he ruthlessly jabbed at the man''s abdomen making Qie Ranzhe grimace in pain.


    "Hng.....be gentle with your man," said Qie Ranzhe trying to put on a brave face but Wen Qinxi wasn''t amused turning to confront Yagdra who was watching the two dote on each other with a green face.


    "Who did this?" he asked his tone imperious and his enchanting eyes narrow, cold and rigid causing Yagdra and the Overmind to flinch a little.


    "My apologies your Highness. You know it''s impossible for me to control all myrades but since this happened under my watch I sincerely apologise," said Yagdra with no ounce of remorse on his face. Heavens know if it weren''t for this treaty he would have dealt with the Marshal and forced Zhao Xieshu to stay and be his queen.


    "Baby, I am not happy about this. You have to seek justice for me otherwise I won''t sign anything, " said Qie Ranzhe leaning so close to Zhao Xieshu''s cheek his warm breathe brushing against Wen Qinxi''s already zing skin.


    "So troublesome," said Wen Qinxi handing Qie Ranzhe a bottle of water to shut him up. The Marshal obediently epted it with a smile that could shake the heavens.


    Wen Qinxi had to look away otherwise he might not be able to control himself and jump the Marshal right in front of the zerg breaking his promise to have the Marshal in the dog house for his crime.


    "Bring them out,"manded Wen Qinxi,his intention was to let Qie Ranzhe have his vengeance to appease him into signing that treaty. This scum had actually dared to attack the Marshal while he was sedated so they naturally had to pay before an form of agreement was signed.


    Yagdra had his Devourers bring in three zerg who were responsible for guarding the Marshal in the dungeon and beckoned Qie Ranzhe to do as he pleased but the Marshal had his own ideas.


    With his lips moist and glossy from drinking the entire bottle, he said, "I am too injured to deal with them. Xie can you take care of it for me," gently rubbing Zhao Xieshu''s back while whispering in his ear in a provocative manner.


    Wen Qinxi couldn''t take it anymore his face turning beet red while walking over to beat the crap of those three zerg venting out his frustration. It was only after letting out all his exasperations did he stoppletely unaware that someone was aroused to the point of losing all rationality. Watching Zhao Xieshu physically beat three creatures twice his size for him, Qie Ranzhe couldn''t hold back any longer his eyes simr to that of a predator eyeing its prey.


    Qie Ranzhe immediately signed the document without even reading it. His mind was muddled to the point that he didn''t even care if he was selling his soul as long as he pressed down Zhao Xieshu in the next ten minutes it would be worth it. It seemed the Marshal had a tad bit of agonophilia getting turned on after watching his lover fight for him.


    Both Yagdra and the Overmind were stunned out their minds when they saw the Marshal sign away without even reading through the treaty that they didn''t react fast enough when it was their turn to sign.


    "I don''t have all fuckin day. Hurry up and sign," said Qie Ranzhe standing up to grasp Zhao Xieshu''s waist with one foot out the door. The Overmind finally snapped out of it hurriedly signed before the Marshal changed his mind.


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t waste anymore time pulling Zhao Xieshu along exiting the hall as though he was being chased by something. Even Wen Qinxi was confused obediently following along. What he didn''t know was that the Marshal was eager to collect his overdue debt. It was about time he paid the piper.

 Chapter 167: Second World: Cleansing The Marshals Filthy Mind

    Chapter 167: Second World: Cleansing The Marshal''s Filthy Mind


    Just outside the geospace of the upied by the zerg, White Baine was stagnant with its bright lights illuminating the dark silent space. Why this warship remained unmoving was puzzling to the zerg wondering exactly how long they intend to hover within their geospace? But the two people inside the warship didn''t see anything wrong with it indulging in a heaven transcendent kiss that could easily ignite a seething passion in anyone.


    The Marshal wasn''t the least bit polite disregarding his own injuries as he pressed his dry bruised lips on Zhao Xieshu''s tender lips sending sparks flying all over Wen Qinxi''s body straight to his head. This kind of rough yet gentle, sweet yet forceful kiss drove Wen Qinxi insane. Though Qie Ranzhe''s lips were rough leaving a metallic taste in his mouth from the blood on the Marshal''s wound, he didn''t dislike it or maybe he just didn''t care as a euphoric feeling overwhelmed him making him carefree experiencing an intense feeling of pleasure that could onlye from kissing this man. Sensing Zhao Xieshu''s intense reaction to his actions, Qie Ranzhe grasped either side of his lover''s waist and pressed him against the wall unrestrainly deepening the kiss. His moist tongue explored to its heart''s content gently teasing the prince''s soft tongue while caressing searchingly the rest of his mouth tasting his sweetness mixed in with a dash of his omega pheromones. There was no use in denying, this addictive heightened sense of pleasure and excitement that came with kissing Zhao Xieshu always left him craving for more.


    The two were immersed in their passionate entanglement their hands caressing and groping everywhere with asional moans and groans escaping their throats. This carried on until Wen Qinxi in his moment of passion sucked on Qie Ranzhe''s lips forgetting the man''s injury causing the Marshal to slightly flinch before hurried restoring his usual demeanor as though nothing happened. The Marshal knew if Zhao Xieshu recalled his injuries the prince would end their erotic session right then and there thus he quickly recovered but it was already toote. Wen Qinxi felt Qie Ranzhe''s body tense up and gently pushed him away recalling Qie Ranzhe''s injuries. He felt so selfish engaging in his own desires when the man was obviously in pain.


    "Let''s take care of you first," said Wen Qinxi in hoarse voice trying to clear up his fogged up mind but Qie Ranzhe wasn''t obedient drawing his face closer his dark amorous eyes fixed on Zhao Xieshu''s red moist lips. His was undoubtedly craving more of that sweet taste. With one hand on the wall the other caressing the side Zhao Xieshu''s neck he drew closer for another dose like an addict that had been starved for an entire week.


    Wen Qinxi felt his heart skip a beat being looked at like that. He had never seen someone yearn for him like this in his entire dating history however short it was. Someone who stubbornly craved for him this much with a face that exuded an inexplicable hunger with the Marshal''s eyes staring at his lips like he wanted to devourer them whole.


    "Ran-ge," he called out his hand pressed aganist Qie Ranzhe''s chest blocking him from proceeding with whatever lewd thoughts running around in his mind.


    "Mn," replied Qie Ranzhe barely attentive to what Zhao Xieshu was saying. His face alone sold him out, he was obviously stuck in some sort of trance.


    "Let''s take care of your injuries first," said Wen Qinxi in an unmistakably coaxing tone though he wasn''t certain who exactly he was coaxing, himself or Qie Ranzhe.


    Qie Ranzhe finally shifted his gaze to look at him with such dreamy eyes that made Wen Qinxi''s face tingle as a flush crept up his face. The two locked eyes for a second as though looking into each other''s souls in an intimate way.


    Wen Qinxi knew righy then that he was finished. He was in love Qie Ranzhe and there was no use in denying it. At that realization his heart twisted in aplicated way as he spoke these words, "Let''s go," while gently pushing him backwards.


    Qie Ranzhe sighed with a flirtatious smile on his faceplying with Zhao Xieshu''s request. In all honesty, he actually wasn''t feeling well but because of his burning desire he had suppressed that feeling to satisfying his burning urges. Wen Qinxi took his hand and silently led him to the medical bay equipped with fast skin-healing equipment. As long as the injuries sustained were skin deep then the Marshal''s wounds would be easily treated.


    "Take off your shirt and lie down," said Wen Qinxi recalling how to use this sophisticated yet effective piece ofequipment that closely resembled a capsule. After a three minutes of following the steps Wen Qinxi realised that Qie Ranzhe still hadn''t lied down so he turned around looking in his direction with a puzzled expression that is until he saw the Marshal was about to remove his underwear.


    "What the fuck are you doing?" he asked trying so hard not to look his face literally on fire clearly expressing his emotions.


    Qie Ranzhe put on straight face saying, "What if there are injuries on my little brother? Don''t you need to check?"


    Wen Qinxi felt defeated dealing with such a shameless person and so he said, "Is that all you ever think about? Do you need a fuckin daoist priest to cleanse your filthy mind. I said take off your shirt, just your shirt so I can check if your ribs are not broken so why are you taking off everything?"


    "Huh?.....My thoughts were pure when I stripped off my clothes. Don''t you also need to check my legs for broken bones oh and this," said Qie Ranzhe pointing at his impressive crotch bulging inside his underwear, "resembles a bone when it''s standing so don''t you need to check it as well? Now who between the two of has dirty thoughts?"

 Chapter 168: Second World: Penalty Of Falling In Love

    Chapter 168: Second World: Penalty Of Falling In Love


    Wen Qinxi couldn''t believe his ears. He sincerely hoped Qie Ranzhe wasn''t like this in reality, it really wasn''t befitting with his overbearing demaour at the office. "If you dare to strip I will leave you here to do it by yourself," replied a flustered Wen Qinxi trying calm himself down.


    Qie Ranzhe obedientlyy down with a gentle smile looking up to the angry Zhao Xieshu as he muttered, "Baby, I am sorry. I won''t cause anymore trouble," but there was no response, "I can put my pants back on if you want," yet again no response. He knew the reason why Zhao Xieshu was angry with him it was because he was concerned for him and his teasing just now was a bit ill timed.


    Short of how to coax Zhao Xieshu, he bit lower lip seeming remorseful while wordlessly brushing the back his hand aganist his omega''s hand with a loving tender gaze. Even an ice queen wouldn''t be able to resist such a look let alone Wen Qinxi so he said, "Didn''t you say you wanted me to check if your legsaren''t broken? Then don''t put them back on," he said averting his gaze while thinking, ''I am fuckin finished. What''s the penalty of falling in love with your boss?''


    Wen Qinxi used a hot towel to rub Qie Ranzhe''s body as the equipment scanned for internal injuries that is after he felt up his boss'' chest a couple of times. Surprisingly, Qie Ranzhe actually fell asleep while being given a rub down and so Wen Qinxi let him have a peaceful rest as the skin-healing equipment did its job.


    ***


    While the two were ying house in space, Emperor Zhao was dealing with one blow after the other. Someone was definitely gunning for him indirectly stripping off his power but he couldn''t for the life of him figure out who it was. He knew it couldn''t be the Marshal as that troublesome hound dog was already missing so who else had he offended?


    His nightmare began two days ago when each of the four powerful families had their secrets leaked out to the public the kind of secrets that were detrimental to their businesses with no means of recovery. From sex trafficking to moneyundering all their dirtyundry had been aired out to the public for all to see. It was the emperor''s job to supress this kind of news and shield the prestigious families from prosecution but the way this news blew up was impossible to suppress like a California wildfire during fire seasons. No amount of foam retardant or control lines could put out this zing heat spreading throughout Valim Network exposing their shady business deals.


    In a day, theirpanies dered bankruptcy with some of their family members imprisoned as the emperor had no direct influence on the judicial system. Even if he could bribe someone to provide a way out without jail time, it wouldn''t help the situation. The information was too public with countless perpetrators.


    The emperor had lost his entire backing overnight and had to act fast. He ruthlessly distanced himself from these families and speed up his n to take over UPSF fleet by making it public that the Marshal was missing and that the zerg were responsible for it.


    As expected the announcement came as a surprise to the entire empire rousing the people''s rage calling for the zerg race''splete annihtion. With the entire poption''s backing him, Emperor Zhao brazenly called upon the council of Ambassadors to gain total control of UPSF fleet. Such a meeting should have included the six generals but of course, the emperor used the excuse of it being an emergency to exclude them but he yet again underestimated who exactly he was dealing with.


    Emperor Zhao was seated at the head of the table looking down at the Ambassadors who were in dispute over the emperor''s request forming two factions one fore the request the other unwilling especially due to the absence of the generals. They couldn''t in good conscience vote to shift UPSF fleet''smand to the emperor when there were six highly qualified generals next in line. This disagreement went on for over an hour with the emperor not moving a single finger his expression that of man lost in thought.


    After determining the ring leader from the faction opposing his take over, he invited the cloaked man in who silently handed over a file to the so-called ring leader.


    "Ambassadors Fei how can you argue at such a critical moment?" said Emperor Zhao with a wolfish expression sending chills down the Ambassador''s spine, "I am sure that file would make you see things my way." Emperor Zhao didn''t feel the need to hide it, he was openly ckmailing Ambassador Fei twisting his arm to supress the opposition.


    Each and everyone of them had a secret even if they didn''t he wouldn''t hesitate to frame them and this was his way of simply showing them that none of them were safe. With trembling hands, Ambassador Fei opened the file only to find a scrupulous ount under his name with ten times his savings. The multple transfers were from the now unoperational Offset pirate organization. This was to say Ambassador Fei got funds from the criminal organization in exchange for Xianore transportation cargo intel so they could attack it during transit.


    This was obviously fabricated evidence but the man''s forehead wasced in ayer of cold sweat his face a sickly pale looking at his acquitances who were also ncing over the file with interest.


    "I am sure this will help you make the right decision," said the emperorzily slouching into his chair like a boss.


    The Ambassadors were struck dumb petrified at the extent Emperor Zhao was willing to take things just to get his hands on UPSF fleet the most powerful army in the entire universe. Scared out of their minds the men shakily raised their hands in support of the emperor but before they could pass the vote the screens in the conference room suddenly lit up with six generals making their appearance.


    Emperor Zhao had specifically instructed the Royal guard to block any iingmunication requests to prevent such a situation but in the end the imperial pce was hacked with six angry generals making their appearance.


    "Aiyoo.....will you look at that. The emperor and his minions are having a fuckin tea party without inviting me. I got to say...my feelings are hurt," said the sixth General in a sarcastic tone. These generals had no ounce of respect towards the emperor mainly because the man was shady and harbored ill intentions towards the Marshal. They never respected him fromthe start.


    "Watch your words," said Emperor''s bodyguard scowling at this alpha who dared to disrespect the emperor.


    "Surrrreeee.....my apologies for insulting His Majesty but we came here to say one thing. You can vote all you like but you will never gain control of this fleet. So get your fuckin head straight and get with the program," she said with a condescending tone aimed at the pale faced emperor.

 Chapter 169: Second World: When A Vulture Is In Power

    Chapter 169: Second World: When A Vulture Is In Power


    Talk about kicking someone when they are already down. That''s exactly what these generals nned to do to Emperor Zhao. They had been searching for the Marshal throughout all corners of the universe and with no conclusive evidence they decided he was still alive. The man had survived countless near death experiences in the past so how could he die easily. They were preupied diligently searching for the Marshal when they found out a certain vulture was already circling over the Marshal''s position before the seat had even cooled down.


    Even if something might have happened to the Marshal they would never allow Emperor Zhao to take over the fleet which is why they didn''t hesitate to hack the imperial pce and make that statement.


    The emperor and six Generals were stuck at a stalemate with either side stubbornly refusing to yield. Angry to the point of pulling out his hair, Emperor Zhao finally spoke. "Are you revolting? Is this youmitting treason!" he bellowed his body trembling with rage. This is exactly why the UPSF fleet should have been under his authority from the start but his father had screwed him over giving the now retired Marshal full control of the fleet before descending the throne. The former Emperor''s reasoning then was that his son was petty and impulsive. If anyone angered him he wouldn''t hesitate to oppress them using the all powerful fleet. His son had an inborn talent of starting wars so he was left with no choice but to disarm him.


    Emperor Zhao wanted nothing but to retrieve what was rightfully his but it was hurdle after hurdle. The Marshal was no longer a threat but his minions were.


    "Hahahaha....wow. You misunderstand me Your Majesty we don''t care about your throne. Rule as you see fit but be weary of your limits," said the sixth General after letting out haughtyughter. They couldn''t believe the emperor actually thought they would just loyally follow him just because some concil of Ambassadors voted so.


    The Emperor saw red in his fit of anger clenching his fists to the point of scarring his palms but he didn''t feel the pain dangerous ring at the disrespectful woman who seemed the list bit unfazed.


    "Uh....Your Majesty you actually thought we were so fuckin stupid enough to handover the entire fleet to you? Don''t waste your breathe on that. I suggest you enjoy your cushy throne and don''t start shit," said the sixth General before all six of them signed off leaving behind a group of befuddled men not certain what they should do next. An awkward silence fell upon the conference room with neither factions making a sound. They were even scared to breath loudly lest the sound of their breathing set off the already deranged emperor.


    One brave soul couldn''t bare the silence anymore asking, "Your Ma-majesty...do...do we still have to vote?" while kowtowing with his forehead kissing the floor. What gave him the courage to speak was precisely because he was the emperor''s right hand man and part of the faction loyal to the emperor but who would have thought that he wasn''t immune to Emperor Zhao''s anger. The emperor didn''t hesitate to kick the Ambassador sending him flying across the room.


    "Clean up this mess," he said to his Royal guard before informally ending this meeting. He had one more card up his sleeve and that card was marrying off Zhao Huangzhi and form an alliance with Nibiru a rtively peaceful empire independent to the Valim empire. These two empires had butted heads centuries ago but enjoyed a ''don''t fuck with me and I won''t fuck with you'' rtionship ever since. Emperor Zhao needed this alliance to help acquire the fleet by basically using Nibiru''s armed forces to pressure the Generals.


    All he had to do was express to their emperor that his throne was under threat and propose an alliance through marriage to make up for it but like always the emperor underestimated the capability of his empire''s fleet.


    ***


    This intel obviously passed Wen Qinxi''s ears. He knew exactly what the emperor''s next move would be before the emperor himself had even thought it. Before Wen Qinxi intervened in this plot line, the emperor gained control over UPSF fleet at the approval of the then disabled Marshal as he trusted Emperor Zhao but now things had changed. Qie Ranzhe was now enlightened to the emperor''s underhanded methods and would never hand over the fleet to him so it was only natural he would seek help by manipting the next powerful person and that could only be Nibiru''s emperor.


    But Wen Qinxi couldn''t concern himself with this right now. He had to figure out how to open this cube shaped box and find the rich in Xianore so he could strengthen the Marshal''s influence. This would naturally prompt Nibiru to stand down and not overly insert themselves in Valim empire''s matters.


    For the entire day he had been burning, smashing even biting this cube box to open it and reveal it''s treasure but the box like always wouldn''t burge. Even the system had also run out of ideas as it had zero knowledge on how to open it.


    Wen Qinxi was sprawling on the bed looking lost when the door opened. He didn''t even bother lifting his head to check as he knew who it was but the atmosphere suddenly turned stiff almost suffocating as soon as Qie Ranzhe walked in. The man had managed to sleep twenty-four hours straight with absolutely no sign of waking up. Now he was standing in the captain''s cabin looking sullen with an uncontroble amount of his delicatable alpha pheromones wafting into the room like a misty steam escaping after opening the door in a steam room.


    "Xie where were you? You left me alone. I couldn''t find you," said the tall man his tone taxing while standing in the middle of the room like the eiffel tower if the eiffel tower wore underwear.


    Wen Qinxi sat up straight staring at him with a confused look on his face. The man had just woken up after sleeping for an entire day and night but exuded a terrible temperament. "I guess you didn''t rest enough," said Wen Qinxi in a sarcastic tone standing up to check on himpletely unaware of the impending danger.

 Chapter 170: Second World: Alphas Rut vs Omegas Estrus

    Chapter 170: Second World: Alpha''s Rut vs Omega''s Estrus


    Wen Qinxi could sense something was off as his body naturally tensed up with every hair on his body standing up in attention as a musky overpowering scent flooded each corner of the room. Wen Qinxi could feel his suppressant fending off the effects of the alpha pheromones allowing him to confidently approach Qie Ranzhe. "You can''t wake up this moody when you slept for such a long time," said Wen Qinxi pleased to see all of the Marshal''s wounds had healed.


    Just a mere touch on his chest immediately set off the Marshal as the soft touch was like a lit matchstick setting alight an explosive gas tank. This innocent action catalyzed the chain of events of the urred right after. It was safe to say the alpha was in a rut or what some might say susceptible period, an alpha version of an omega in heat. Provoked by Zhao Xieshu''s brazen actions, Qie Ranzhe couldn''t hold back an longer releasing his pheromones at a massive scale his eyes as dark as the abyss his body emitting a highly aggressive and dominating aura.


    Wen Qinxi suddenly felt like a fearful littlemb that was about to be devourered by the big bad wolf. ''What the fuck is wrong with him,'' he asked the system unconsciously taking a step back which Qie Ranzhe obviously noticed.


    ''Well, boss here is the thing. The CEO is um....how do I say this? The zerg used a sedative on him before and the side effect of that sedative is that he.....um, well, he is in a um....rut," said Jolie trying to educate the ignorant nerd who was more focused on ying with mechas but didn''t bother reading about how coitus worked in this world.


    ''Huh?...what the fuck is a rut?'' he asked as his supressant''s defenses cracked defeated by this unparalleled alpha pheromone. It was equipped to deal with it when released in reasonable quantities but not at a scale asrge as this. The supressant in his system abandoned ship leaving a defenseless Wen Qinxi to deal with it alone.


    ''Its an alpha version of estrus.....by the way I forgot I have something to do sooo.....I will leave first. Oh, don''t forget to take morning after,'' said the system before running off like its arse was on fire. At least it advised him to take precautions but its good deed was of no use as Wen Qinxi didn''t even know what it meant by morning after.


    Just as the system performed it''s noteworthy disappearing act, Wen Qinxi''s body turned feverish after being dealt a heavy blow by the alpha pheromones rushing into his body all at once.


    He was hot all over with his body suddenly in a state of arousal. His brain cells seemed to be inactive unable to perform the simplest of actions that is keeping his body on its feet as he came tumbling down to the ground but his arse didn''t kiss the floor as a strong arm wrapped around his waist hauling him up to his feet. It was not only his legs that felt like melted butter but his entire body too. The only strong thing in his body was the urge to rub himself against Qie Ranzhe''s body. He could literally feel his omega parts getting wet all over seekingfort from the Marshal.


    "Ran-ge I am so ufortable," he said in a hoarse almost moanful voice that surprised even himself. Did he want to have sex that bad? Why did he suddenly desire to be prated out of the blue?


    Qie Ranzhe knew exactly what was happening but as to how it happened? He didn''t know. All he knew is that somehow his susceptible period was activated and now he couldn''t control himself. The amount of alpha pheromones he released snapped whatever little resistant Zhao Xieshu''s suppressant had left. After being repeatedly subjected to Qie Ranzhe''s alpha pheromones the supressant finally caved in packing its bags after suffering heavy losses. The pheromones he released in his susceptible state were simply too powerful inciting Zhao Xieshu to enter his first estrus.


    "Xie," he softly called out right into Zhao Xieshu''s ear, "you are having your first estrus."


    Wen Qinxi''s head was spinning with both confusion and euphoria. On one hand he was trying to recall what estrus meant and on the other he was enjoying the pleasure that came with Qie Ranzhe''s warm breathe grazing against his skin. He eventually gave up on figuring out what estrus was resigning to the breathtaking erotic sensation brought about admist the heat.


    "Then take care of it," he said wrapping his arms around Qie Ranzhe''s neck exposing his open cor and his bare-chest. Qie Ranzhe felt a heat wave sweep his entire body dragging along the need to dominate this person and dere sole sovereignty over Zhao Xieshu. This need was intensified as the sweet-smelling plumeira like scent assaulted his senses.


    This was something he had been yearning for ever since he discovered he had feelings for Zhao Xieshu but this kind of yearning was different. It was the kind of yearning that felt like it had been suppressed through two lifetimes. The kind of yearning engraved into one''s soul leaving behind an imprint powerful enough to be carried over into the next lifetime. A yearning that could drive a man to insanity.


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t utter a single word just lifting Zhao Xieshu carrying him in the front just like the night the prince got drunk. Wen Qinxi''s legs were wrapped around Qie Ranzhe''s waist with the Marshal''s arousal bulging under the underwear poking at his omega parts.


    Enchanted by this diety, Qie Ranzhe parted those soft moisture lips kissing him to the point of suffocation. The sweet omega pheromones came to him all at once tinkling his taste buds. With no ounce of satiety in sight, he pried open Zhao Xieshu''s mouth with his moist tongue fervently tasting every inch of his mouth in search of the sweet addictive taste unique only to his omega.


    By the time he was done with him Zhao Xieshu''s lips were as plump as a ripe cherry ready for harvest. "Baby you taste so sweet," he said while kissing Zhao Xieshu''s ear.

 Chapter 171: Second World: Wen Qinxis Gets Marked (NSFW)

    Chapter 171: Second World: Wen Qinxi''s Gets Marked (NSFW)


    A few mouths ago if you were to ask Wen Qinxi if he would ever do this kind of thing he would have cursed you out six generations over even your great-great-great-grandmother wouldn''t be spared. Never in a billion years would he have thought he would be in this kind of situation clinging to his boss like a octopus and not just an regr octopus, an octopus in heat. This he could only describe as shameful or embarrassing but in this moment he didn''t give a shit his face as red as tomato moaning unrestrainedly while Qie Ranzhe peeled his clothes offyer byyer not forgetting to tease him along the way.


    He knew if this ever got out, the women in his entire building and all his CEO''s fan girls would join arms and do the infamous ''bra burning'' protest or even set him alight using their bras as a fire source and brand him a witch or in this case a vixen. But this vixen right now, didn''t care convincing himself that this was a necessary psychological treatment to get his boss out of the game.


    The pheromones didn''t permit for this line of thought to continue as he was soon drawn into soul sucking sea of pleasure. Qie Ranzhe was like a viinous beast biting and sucking on his lips while skillfully undressing him at the same time not forgetting to caress him in the process. In a sh, Zhao Xieshu was lying naked beneath him crying out to him to touch him.


    Like a narcissist enjoying his own handiwork he towered over Zhao Xieshu after shedding off his own clothes admiring the smooth red skin itching for his touch, itching for his gentle caress. "Baby you are so fuckin sexy," he said tracing Zhao Xieshu''s skin with his fingertip teasing him to the point that it became unbearable especially when he circled the prince''s stimted nipples. Wen Qinxi almost wished he could press Qie Ranzhe down and speed up the process but he couldn''t on ount of his weak body so he could only voice his grievances in a not so polite way.


    "Ran-ge will stop fuckin around already and do me," he said his chest heaving violently which in Qie Ranzhe''s eyes was simple provocation. The Marshal couldn''t hold back either but he wanted to hear him beg for it so he leaned down to kiss Zhao Xieshu''s nipples and lick the delicate skin surrounding them. He soon lost hisposure sucking on them his slithering warm tongue flicking, licking and rolling around that peak that seemed to length with each tease. One look at him and you did think he was sucking on a lollipop enjoying.


    Wen Qinxi didn''t hold himself back with his omega pheromones following like an endless river with lewd sounds spilling from his mouth that the empty warship was soon filled with these conspicuous sounds. He felt weak but could still raise his chest towards Qie Ranzhe''s mouth a silent plea to be sucked hard.


    "Daddy Ran.....I want you....I want you to....ah!" he begged feeling itchy all over with slick seeping out his omega parts.


    Qie Ranzhe''s eyes darkened as he abruptly stopped, whispering to him in a deep maic voice that tugged on Wen Qinxi''s heart strings, "You want me to do what?"


    Wen Qinxi whose source of pleasure had been cut of at short notice couldn''t stand it. "I want you to fuck me. Fuck me daddy Ran," he said his appearance tantalizing enough to drive Qie Ranzhe insane. Coupled with the aphrodisiac omega pheromones filling the atmosphere with its sweet scent, Qie Ranzhe couldn''t restrain himself.


    "Fuck!" he muttered spreading Zhao Xieshu''s legs apart and shoved his thick hard member into the slick filled carvern that immediately mped down on his cock with the omega beneath him tensing up a little.


    "Gentle.....ah.....fuck...Ran-ge be fuckin gentle," said the man who feared pain the most.


    Qie Ranzhe listened to him and used thest bit of self-restraint left to gently ease him into it while asking, "Is it painful?...Baby endure it little longer. It will soon feel good," in gentle yet restive tone.


    Actually, it was painful as it was his first time after all but the slick flowing like the river nile and musky jasmine like alpha pheromones, his hole easily opened up and with a few thrusts the pain he dreaded disappeared reced by an overwhelming euphoric feeling.


    "Ah.....," he moaned while biting his lower lip in a seductive way. This was a golden ticket for Qie Ranzhe snapping thest shred of his self-restraint. In a loud groan he shoved his entire thick member into the hot slippery crevice. He soon fell into an untamed thrusting rhythm pounding again and again at Zhao Xieshu''s sensitive spot with the slick dripping on the silk sheets. The entire warship was filled with squelching wet pa pa pa sounds and loud conspicuous noises that couldn''t be mistaken.


    Wen Qinxihad never experienced such excessive pleasure before. He now understood why Qie Ranzhe insisted on having this erotic session with pheromones involved. It intensified the amount of pleasure that came from being screwed senseless by his partner. Under constant provocation of his sensitive spot from the intense pounding a massive erotic tension began to umte as his body approached the peak of his sexual excitement.


    Desperate to relieve some of that tension and instigate a quick release, he touch his own member that had been neglected but wasn''tining and attempted to stroke his way to bliss but Qie Ranzhe grasped his wrist reprimanding him, "Not allowed," while magnifying the rate of his thrusts till Wen Qinxi had no strength left to help himself anymore. Out of nowhere an electric like current coursed through his entire body as he climaxed, the kind of climax that couldn''t be described well with words. The fierce stimulus from his orgasim had him cry out Qie Ranzhe''s name his body covulsing in pleasure.

 Chapter 172: Second World: Wen Qinxi Gets Marked 2 (NSFW)

    Chapter 172: Second World: Wen Qinxi Gets Marked 2 (NSFW)


    Weak from the intense orgasim, Wen Qinxi strove to catch his breathe while trying to clear his murky mind but he didn''t get a chance to fully recover when Qie Ranzhe hauled him off the bed with his legs wrapped around the Marshal''s waist and got pinned aganist the cabin''s thick ss window.


    When Wen Qinxi''s back touched the slightly chilly ss he whimpered but he was soon taken aback almost begging for half time when he realised Qie Ranzhe''s intentions.He was about to get screwed senseless again. "Wait.... Ran-ge can''t we...ah....fuck.....ah," he said but he didn''t get to finish his statement as the alpha began to drill him again this time with entire inky space and bright stars as witnesses. Wen Qinxi let out a seductive gasping moan with his long legs wrapped around Qie Ranzhe''s fierce waist. Each time the Marshal rammed into him his body would move with the rhythm of the thrusts. Hisints were tossed at the back of his mind as the rich musky jasmine-like scent entered his system drowning him in an endless sea of lust.


    "Fuck me daddy Ran.....ah...fuck me hard," he said as a rush of pleasure came gushing out like gushes of water rushing through the flood gates. He couldn''t hold it in with his head leaning back his body shaking as he reached yet again another inexplicable climax while wing his short nails into Qie Ranzhe''s back.


    While recuperating calming his mind, Qie Ranzhe swept away the blonde strands on Zhao Xieshu''s ear with his beautiful slender fingers whispering, "Don''t get toofortable. Xie, I am not done with you yet," before he began to kiss and suck on Wen Qinxi''s skin leaving behind obscene marks visible to the naked eye.


    "Get out of me first and let me rest then you can go.....ah," said Wen Qinxi but didn''t manage to finish with Qie Ranzhe''s hard thing poking at his sensitive spot while the Marshal''s unruly tongue licked the pheromone nd at the back of his neck in teasing fashion. Wen Qinxi felt his entire body quiver at his touch. For some reason he actually wanted Qie Ranzhe to bite him and not just a nibble but a bite good enough to permanently mark him and showcase to the entire universe theirmitment to each other.


    In a moment of weakness, he actually spoke his mind without thinking, "Bite me....I want you to mark me," in an enchanting voice that got Qie Ranzhe even harder than before.


    He rubbed Zhao Xieshu''s waist while slowly thrusting in deep teasing a second sacred entrance within the prince saying, "Such a naughty prince.....I will give you what you want then," he said pulling out of Zhao Xieshu before cing him on the ground. Wen Qinxi didn''t know what exactly was happening but he found his body stered on the giant window with Qie Ranzhe taking him from behind. Wen Qinxi yet again enjoyed a round of vigorous thrusting while being caressed by the Marshal''s big unruly hands. He wanted him, he wanted more of this, he wanted to climax and moan all for Qie Ranzhe and so he did calling out to him in seductive tone further inciting his alpha.


    Unable to endure Zhao Xieshu''s constant provocation any longer. He carried the weak omega to the bed and sat him on hisp with his entire member entering Wen Qinxi''s hole once again but this time it entered all the way making him whimper inint.


    His eyes teary while biting on his red lower lip he tried to move with Qie Ranzhe''s guidance but he was too weak and that hot rod was deep within him making his movements awkward. "Ran-ge.....I am to weak. You have to do it," said Wen Qinxi staring at him with a misty gaze.


    Qie Ranzhe gulped hard with his Adam''s apple bobbing up and down. Faced with such a licentious omega how could he exercise restraint. Zhao Xieshu wanted to be marked by him so how could he hold back. In a swift motion he gripped Zhao Xieshu''s ass with each of his hands firmly grasping each cheek before thrusting his hips up. His member thrust deep into the crevice teasing the entrance of Zhao Xieshu''s womb releasing a tad bit of his pheromones driving the omega insane.


    "Ah...Ran, it feels so fuckin good," moaned an already muddle headed Wen Qinxi. If sex was this good in the real world then he had been seriously missing out. His entire womb was open begging to filled by Qie Ranzhe''s hot member his body inching towards another climax.


    Just when Wen Qinxi thought he was about to climax again, Qie Ranzhe suddenly said, "Baby let me in," before thrusting in again. This time the open womb secrete more slick constricting around the tip of his cock literally inviting him in. Qie Ranzhe obliged him ruthlessly splitting open his womb invading into its deepest depths making the omega covulse in pleasure.


    Still inside Zhao Xieshu he lifted the omega''s legs and ced them on his shoulders while lifting up the prince''s ass before he stood up straight and began to thrust once more. His overbearing tyrannical nature resurfacing as he plunged straight into Zhao Xieshu''s womb which weed the intrusion gluttonously constricting around his cock sucking out his alpha pheromones. Wen Qinxi was suddenly struck by an overwhelming ache mingled in with a numbing pleasure making his body tremble holding on to him tightly. Qie Ranzhe violently plunged into his womb reaching its depths within fuckin Wen Qinxi into silence with his body moving along with the rhythm of the man''s thrusts. He couldn''t fathom Qie Ranzhe''s endurance and at some point he even thought he was going to get fucked to death.


    "I am going to mark you now, bear with me a little longer," he said before kissing Zhao Xieshu''s lips. In that instance he filled his omega''s womb to its maximum capacity before exploding a massive amount of his cum mixed in with a powerful wave of his alpha pheromones while letting out a groan so loud it could wake the dead.


    Being suddenly assaulted by a massive wave of pleasure Wen Qinxi''s tensed up as he reached yet another climax his womb tightening around the Marshal''s scorching member. He bit hard on his lower lip reaching sexual gratification.


    While sinking in his moment of bliss, Qie Ranzhe suddenly bit his pheromone nd releasing his alpha pheromones directly into him. The marking wasplete but Wen Qinxi couldn''t take it anymore more drowning into a sea of ckness. Wen Qinxi had been fucked till he cked out.

 Chapter 173: Second World: The Marshals First Born Child

    Chapter 173: Second World: The Marshal''s First Born Child


    For three days straight Wen Qinxi was stuck in a repetitive cycle, not that he wasining. He would wake up his body already cleaned up, eat well, to be more exact fed, do some heavy duty sexercise and sleep again that is if he was lucky enough not to ck out. On the contrary, Qie Ranzhe was a ball of energy walking around as though what was going on in that warship had nothing to do with him.


    The Marshal took meticulous care of his omega bathing him which was one of his favorite things to do and feeding him as Zhao Xieshu could barely lift a finger but because Qie Ranzhe couldn''t cook he could only make instant food which only required him to follow the instructions on the packet. He did feel bad that he couldn''t even make bowl of in congee for his omega constantly apologising but Wen Qinxi didn''t mind happily eating instant food even though it tasted nd. He was really understanding of the Marshal, besides knowing that this food was prepared by the CEO especially for him gave him a great sense of satisfaction making the nd food leave a sweet taste in his mouth.


    Wen Qinxi''s estrus period had finallye to an end with the lewd red and purple marks on his body remaining as the only evidence of what urred these past three days. When he rose from his slumber, he wanted to stand up and go wash up but he found that his body was sore in all ces with his legs refusing toply. He was still useless and could only fall back into bed waiting to be served like a pampered young master from a rich family. Since he had nothing else to do he decided to study the cube box with the Gu family insignia again. The sooner he figures out how to open it the faster he tips the scale of power in their favor.


    While Wen Qinxi was sprawled on the bed ying with his cube shaped box, Qie Ranzhe was at war fighting with his biggest enemy which is cooking. Growing up whatever activity he tried he would always excel at it all except cooking. That was his weakness.


    Normally, he didn''t mind eating instant food but he knew Zhao Xieshu''s food preferences and instant food wasn''t on the list. These past few days he could only feed him that because they had no choice but he was beginning to feel guilty and wanted to make something delicious for Zhao Xieshu so he was hard at work searching recipes on Valim Network to make some breakfast for his lover but it was off at horrible start.


    "Oh, don''t choose that recipe it''s too difficult," said Meng Huangse suddenly appeared out of nowhere after disappearing for three days. Actually, the AI was there but it was in a docile state giving its parents some privacy. It only came out now after seeing how distraught the Marshal was and decided tond a helping hand.


    Qie Ranzhe wasn''t surprised with Meng Huangse''s sudden appearance. In fact, he knew the AI had been watching him for over an hour but pretended not to notice so as not to scare it away. "Which one should I choose then?" he asked while scrolling down the sea of recipes that could give one a headache just by looking at them.


    "Don''t worry dad, I have watched mommy cook so many times so l can give you instructions while you cook. Mommy is very picky when ites to food," said Meng Huangse forgetting that Zhao Xieshu had constantly scolded it for using the m word as a method of address.


    Unbeknownst to him, Qie Ranzhe''s lips curved into a foolish smile pleased to know that even Zhao Xieshu''s AI recognized itself as his unbegotten son. This further proved how much Zhao Xieshu loved him.


    "Who taught you to say that?" he asked taking out some chicken from the freezer. White Baine was always fully stocked up with food just in case Zhao Xieshu decided to venture out into wild space at a moment''s notice.


    "Mommy did ever since he got me. He showed me an image of you and said that is dad but I never got to see you till now," confession Meng Huangse spilling it''s boss'' secrets to the big bad wolf who was more than happy to tease Zhao Xieshuter. Meng Huangse carefully instructed the Marshal step by step making chicken congee not forgetting to divulge some personal secrets to it''s estranged dad while at it. A meal that should have taken thirty minutes to prepare took a long gruesome hour but the results were not half bad.


    The two proud patriots marched to the captain''s cabin ready to present their masterpiece to Zhao Xieshu. This was the first thing Qie Ranzhe ever made so one could understand why he was this excited over a bowl of congee. When he arrived at the cabin, Zhao Xieshu was limply lying in bed fiddling with a cube shaped box looking lost. His naked lower half was covered in the silk sheets but Qie Ranzhe could clearly see the outline of his body under the sheets.


    "Baby I brought you food," he said sitting right next to him his piercing eyes fixated on Zhao Xieshu''s chest. He had satisfied his desires these past three days thrusting into this sweet omega countless times but at this moment an unquenchable thirst was surging within him once more. When it came to Zhao Xieshu he could never get enough leaving him craving for more.


    Wen Qinxi put down the cube when he smelt the delicatable aroma of delicious congee making his stomach growl in excitement.


    "Here, try it," said the Marshal blowing some air on the porcin spoon before feeding it to Zhao Xieshu. This scene if seen by the generals better yet if seen by Machu he would definitely faint from shock so it was a good thing they were in deep space with only Meng Huangse serving as a witness.


    Wen Qinxi''s eyes widened in surprise, the congee was actually ptable way better than Wan Danzhe''s standards. "Did you make this?" he asked his mind in utter disbelief. This man couldn''t even tell apart ginger and garlic so how could he have made such a delicious meal.


    Qie Ranzhe was the least bit insulted as he was well aware of his own cooking skills which were ranked in the negative values. "I did with the help of my first born child," he proudly stated feeding his sweetheart another spoonful of congee.


    Wen Qinxi choked hearing the word child and began to cough violently with his eyes tearing up in an instant. Qie Ranzhe passed him a ss of water while gently patting his back. It was only after he had managed to calm down did Qie Ranzhe exin futher while wiping away his tears. "I was talking about Meng Huangse. Weren''t you the one who taught it to call me dad? Isn''t it a good thing that I am taking responsibility and epting my role as a father? Don''t worry my love even though we had a child out of wedlock I will definitely take responsibility," he said with a roguish smile that made Wen Qinxi''s scalp go numb.

 Chapter 174: Second World: Wen Qinxis Addiction

    Chapter 174: Second World: Wen Qinxi''s Addiction


    Qie Ranzhe had searched around the ship two days ago looking for emergency medicine for Zhao Xieshu to prevent his omega from falling pregnant especially after he intentionally nted an explosive amount of his seed inside the prince''s sacred entrance.


    He was fully aware of Zhao Xieshu''s fear of pain and didn''t want to put him through such an ordeal so he gave him medicine that would prevent that from happening. He was perfectly fine with not having children as his love for Zhao Xieshu ran deeper than the deepest depths of the ocean and didn''t want to see the love of his life go through such heart wrenching pain. But this didn''t stop him from teasing Zhao Xieshu.


    "Baby why didn''t you tell I was a father all these years," said Qie Ranzhe having a spooful of congee while staring at Zhao Xieshu with smiling eyes.


    "Meng Huangse you are grounded into silence no talking until I am satisfied," said Wen Qinxi well aware that the AI was listening in on their conversation. He couldn''t help but wonder what other shameful secrets this AI spilled to Qie Ranzhe as there were a lot more embrassing things this character did all in the name of loving Qie Ranzhe.


    "Xie, aren''t I the one whose supposed to administrator the punishment. All mommy has to do is tell daddy all the naughty things the kid did during the day then daddy punishes the kid and gets a reward at the end of the night," exined Qie Ranzhe with thest part said while caressing Zhao Xieshu''s chest.


    Wen Qinxi, "..."


    "So fuckin shameless. Here, this ought to shut you up," he said handing him the cube shaped box, "open that and maybe I will let you sleep here tonight."


    Qie Ranzhe obviously didn''t want to sleep by himself. Even when they returned to Valim he had already put a n in ce telling Machu to move his stuff from the Qie Family home to Zhao Xieshu''s pavilion. He hadn''t even asked the prince yet he had already began to move in with Xiao Hua''s assistant as he was the only other person in Valim who had ess to the prince''s pavilion. He was moving in with his omega so how could he survive a night of sleeping in separate rooms?


    The Marshal handed the bowl to Zhao Xieshu and joined him in bed scrutinizing the cube like a schr studying ancient scrolls. Wen Qinxi watched him study the cube shaped box and couldn''t help butugh at this situation. He knew they will be at this for a long time so he decided to feed Qie Ranzhe, he couldn''t have the Marshal work with an empty stomach.


    "If you manage to open it within the hour I will grant you one wish," said Wen Qinxi while feeding him thest spoon of congee. He knew there was 0.000001% chance of that happening so he didn''t hesitate to put that offer on the table. But he didn''t realise that Qie Ranzhe was that 0.000001% chance figuring out the cube within ten minutes.


    Qie Ranzhe suddenly stood up and rummaged through the medical kit for ancet to prick Zhao Xieshu''s finger. As soon as he found it he walked over saying, "Baby, give me your finger."


    Having a bad premonition Wen Qinxi shook his head subconsciously hiding his delicate fingers behind his back. He looked like a kitten that he been bullied by a bunch of dogs his expression pitiable.


    "Wh-what do you want to do?" he said rubbing his sweaty palms with every sense in his body turning vignt.


    "I want to try something and open the box for you. Now be good and give me your finger," said Qie Ranzhe holding out thencet while taking a step closer looking like an evil scientist.


    "You better stay the fuck away from me," he said scurrying off the bed. How could Wen Qinxi not know what that was? It might be different in appearance but the function and the pain associated with it was the same. There was absolutely no way he was getting a needle into his skin.


    This thing was the cause of his nightmares in his infancy, the needle of death. In preschool he hid in a cardboard for an entire day running away from the good old doctor who hade to vinate everyone. Thisnded him in greater pain as his little fleshy buttocks were spanked by his mother. An injection plus a spanking equals this algophobe''s greatest nightmare.


    Just when he thought he had managed to escaped, Qie Ranzhe grabbed him by the ankle and pulled him back just like the eerie scenes in a horror movie were the killer drags the girl from under the bed.


    Like a deer in headlights, Wen Qinxi was petrified with no means of escape. At least a deer could run away at thest minute unlike him who was pinned down on the bed by Qie Ranzhe''s strong arms.


    Qie Ranzhe had his knees either side of Wen Qinxi''s waist while hold down both of the prince''s wrists in one hand above the prince''s head.


    Despite knowing what kind of situation he was in, Wen Qinxi didn''t resign to it trying to wiggle out from under Qie Ranzhe but this didn''t set him free but start something he wasn''t even interested in doing right now. "Don''t move!" warned Qie Ranzhe his eyes darkening in an instant while gulping hard as though trying to swallow his desire away.


    Off course, Wen Qinxi didn''t heed the warning and carried on moving like an idiot whichnded him a passionate kiss from the man pinning him down. He wanted to protest especially after being poked by the thing bulging through the fabric but his protest soon turned topliance eagerly rubbing himself up aganist Qie Ranzhe like a dog in heat.


    While he was distracted, Qie Ranzhe took the opportunity and pricked Zhao Xieshu''s finger masking the pain for him by nibbling on his lip. "Done," he said getting off Zhao Xieshu while pulling his finger towards the cube. Even in his moment of passion he didn''t forget the mission he had toplete within the hour.


    If Wen Qinxi said he wasn''t disappointed he would be lying. That one kiss had got him in the mood with his member standing up to the asion only to have the party end before it even started. ''Ah...shit! I think I am fuckin addict,'' he thought wishing he could bash his head aganist the wall and free himselffrom this embarrassing situation.


    "Don''t be sad. I will give it to just now," said Qie Ranzhe with a sly expression while guiding Zhao Xieshu''s finger towards the insignia on the cube shaped box.


    Wen Qinxi wanted to retort but the cube shaped box he had wrestled with for a long time suddenly opened with a bright shining light just like in the movies when the pirates find the hidden treasure.


    Wen Qinxi''s eyes lit up with excitement when a holographic image appeared with a rotating anti-clockwise on its axis its coordinates shing at the bottom. "No shit! You did it," said Wen Qinxi taking the box out of his hand, "we better set off now." After saying this, Wen Qinxi hurried put on his clothes and walked out the captain''s cabin without looking back not even once. He had even forgotten that he was the one pouting earlier on wanting to getid.


    "Hey, what about....ah never mind," said a disappointed Qie Ranzhe as he was no longer getting some.


    Thinking Zhao Xieshu had already forgotten all about him hey on the bed calming his roused member down but just as hey down Wen Qinxi suddenly came back saying, "What are sleeping for? Let''s go," while tugging on his hand pulling him out of the room.

 Chapter 175: Second World: Master Of Deception

    Chapter 175: Second World: Master Of Deception


    The news of the Marshal''s return to Valim capital safe and sound had already spread like wildfire through out the entire empire with various broadcasters making it their headline and the main topic of discussion. This sparked a debate across the empire on whether the emperor''s call to attack the zerg race was premature and without basis. If the Marshal was really held captive by the zerg how could he walk out of these vicious creatures'' territory unscathed that is if he was even captured by the zerg in the first ce.


    The emperor''s n had blown up in his face without prior warning with his subordinates starting to question his decisions. It was not only his premature decision to go to war with the zerg but other various scandals associated with with him that had other officials questioning whether he was even fit to rule. The final nail in the coffin was His Majesty''s decision to engage the now disgraced Princess Huangzhi to the crown prince of Nibiru empire. The two nations had been on opposing sides throughout history and even went to war centuries ago with both sides suffering heavy losses before signing a peace deal.


    They had spend more than a century without getting into each other''s business yet now the emperor had decided to establish ties that could only end in disaster. The two empires were like oil and water, they just couldn''t mix regardless of how hard you stirred. Though the officials thought this way and sometimes discussed among themselves they would never be brazen enough to say anything and chose to watch from a distance awaiting the great show.


    While the Marshal''s arrival to the pce with his arm wrapped around Prince Xieshu''s waist was being live broadcasted on Valim Network, Emperor Zhao was busy tossing stuff around his pavilion yelling at anyone and everyone who crossed his path. He even went as far as striking a servant just for breathing too loud. He not only had to deal with the news of the Marshal''s return but also Zhao Huangzhi who was refusing to be married off to Nibiru empire''s crown prince.


    He naturally couldn''t vent his anger towards the Marshal for ruining his ns so he could only vent to the people around him. "Your Majesty," said a terrified servant who was unlucky enough to draw the short straw and had to announce that the Marshal was seeking an audience with the emperor. "The Marshal has entered the pce and is seeking audience with His Majesty." All this was said with his head lowered while praying to his ancestors toe out this unscathed but of course, that was only wishful thinking as the emperor flung the scorching hot cup of tea at the servant without warning.


    "You dare mention him in my presence! You must courting death!" bellowed the emperor causing whoever heard it to cower in fear that is except for Zhao Huangzhi. Ever since the Marshal went missing she hadn''t slept well worrying about him. She even went as far as kneeling outside her father''s door begging him to send people to look for Qie Ranzhe. Though this action seemed heartfelt it held a motive behind it with her servant anonymously posting online footage of her kneeling with captions like ''Humble Princess begs for the Marshal''s safe return'' or ''Princess Huangzhi kneels for the Marshal while Prince Xieshu is nowhere in sight''. This was her way to show the Marshal that she was better than Zhao Xieshu and would do anything for him. She hoped her message would reach his ears once he made his return and improve her favorablity with him.


    After almost an hour of waiting outside the pavilion, Qie Ranzhe was finally permitted in. To be honest he just wanted to be with Zhao Xieshu but his fiance abandoned him and went to pavilion leaving him behind to deal with the drama king who apparently had been throwing a temper tantrum these past few days. Though he was sad when Zhao Xieshu ditched him he actually wasn''t going to allow his omega to see the emperor with him as he was well aware of Emperor Zhao''s temper and how he beat Zhao Xieshu before. His protective instincts naturally wouldn''t allow the two to be in the same room but he couldn''t help but pout at the speed at which Zhao Xieshu ran away.


    When he entered the main hall the emperor was seated on his throne his body taut while drinking a ss of wine as though trying to calm his nerves. He was angry that this cockroach just wouldn''t die but had to put up a front and pretend to be pleased with his safe return. Qie Ranzhe found thisughable, he could obviously tell the man''s expression was conflicting with his true feelings which were bottling up inside him inching closer to exploding and showing his true face.


    Qie Ranzhe had tomend the emperor''s resilence. Even though Emperor Zhao hated him to the core he still stayed in character without revealing his true nature. If Zhao Xieshu hadn''t opened his eyes he would never have known Emperor Zhao''s true intentions and would have continued to be deceived by the king of deception.


    "I am truly happy you returned safe Marshal Qie otherwise I was prepared to blow up the entire zerg race to avenge you," said the emperor with concern in his eyes truly worthy of the title ''Master of Deception''.


    "It was purely by luck that I managed to get out of there alive though its a mystery to me how I ended up free falling into the zerg territory when I was meant to be in Tristan. My man are conducting a thorough investigation. I will be sure to inform His Majesty of the oue," said Qie Ranzhe hoping to end this meeting that was obviously a waste of his time.


    "Mn," responded the emperor without showing a glint of panic though internally he wished to speed up Zhao Huangzhi''s union to Nibiru''s crown prince and get some backing because knowing Qie Ranzhe''s expertise it was only a matter of time before he tied this incident back to him.


    "Will be hosting Princess Huangzhi''s wedding in a weeks time and your presence is expected both you and Zhao Xieshu," said the emperor as a servant passed the Marshal a wedding invitation, "I will naturally leave the security detail to you so please have that taken care of."


    "Isn''t this ceremony a bit rushed? Prince Xieshu is older and was betrothal to me first so naturally shouldn''t the princess'' weddinge after ours?" asked Qie Ranzhe with an unreadable expression but he already knew the answer to that question and was simply curious to see what type of excuse the emperor coulde up with.


    "That child has disgraced the entire family with what she did to you so it would be best if she gets married as soon as possible so she won''t cause problems for the two of you," he said almost breaking out in a cold sweat. If the Marshal dug into this any further his n might not even see the light of day.


    "Why Nibiru''s crown prince? Considering our history with the empire of Nibiru wouldn''t it be best to find another noble family in Valim Empire to marry the Princess?" said Qie Ranzhe his purpose unclear. Maybe he just enjoyed tormenting the emperor.

 Chapter 176: Second World: How To Punish An Omega

    Chapter 176: Second World: How To Punish An Omega


    Whatever the reason he couldn''t fully enjoy himself as Princess Huangzhi decided to walk in right at that moment with a haggard appearance. Qie Ranzhe could obviously see through her n and wasn''t in the mood to hang around anymore but how could Zhao Huangzhi let him go so easily.


    She immediately threw herself into Qie Ranzhe''s arms wailing like a widow who had just lost her husband. "Ran-ge, wuwuwuwu...I am so happy you ar-," but she couldn''t continue her sentence when a foreign omega scent reached her senses. The Marshal had another omega''s scent all over his body making her boil in anger but she had no choice but to suppress her rage and hold her breathe as much as possible. Each time she smelt that omega''s scent her anger grew deeper and deeper making it harder for her to hold it in.


    Qie Ranzhe felt so irritated and wasn''t the least bit polite about it pushing her away while reprimanding her along the way. "Your Highness, please restrain yourself. Such frivolous behavior is not good for an omega that''s about to be married," said Qie Ranzhe avoiding her like the gue.


    Feeling aggrieved, Zhao Huangzhi bit her lower lip her eyes red while blinking away the tears. This appearance would rouse the need to protect her from anyone who bullied her but it naturally wouldn''t work on Qie Ranzhe.


    "Y-you know?" she asked her gaze fixated on the Marshal hoping to see some kind of reaction but she was bound to be disappointed.


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t show any of the emotions she expected instead congratting her and wishing her a sess even scolding her in the process. "Yes, I just found out. Congrattions Your Highness and I wish you a lifelong worth of happiness. Considering our past friendship I would advice the Princess not to casually hug people like this lest the crown prince of Nibiru misunderstands andbels the omegas of Valim empire as audacious andcking in virtue," said Qie Ranzhe his tone bing even more formal with each sentence creating some distance between them. Distance that didn''t exist before.


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t even wait for a response immediately dismissing himself from the room heading straight to Zhao Xieshu''s pavilion which was now his new home.


    "How pathetic," said the emperor looking at his daughter with obvious disgust. He thought he raised a prideful daughter who would never gravel for anyone but seeing the obvious look of desperation in her eyes he couldn''t help but retort.


    "And whose fuckin fault is it?" she said before flinging her sleeve striding out of the room in anger. The emperor wished he could just chop of her head and disy it in the main hall as a warning to the rest of her siblings to never disrespect him but Zhao Huangzhi could only be of use to him with her head still intact. At least this troublesome child will soon leave the pce, to be more exact leave the and be someone else''s problem.


    ***


    While the dog blood drama was airing, Wen Qinxi was having the shock of his life finding an extra set of everything in his entire pavilion. Extra slippers, extra toothbrush, extra gown, extra everything with the entire half of his walking-in closet filled with Qie Ranzhe''s clothes. Actually, this wasn''t much of a big deal but his mood had been offtely blowing up every little thing into something big. It was safe to say the Marshal chose the wrong time to mess with Wen Qinxi.


    The excited Marshal strolled over to Zhao Xieshu''s pavilion with an obvious spring in his step but once he got to the door and tried to open it, he found his ess had been temporarily suspended. Anxious he called Zhao Xieshu impatiently pacing back and forth with a painful twist in his chest which only got worse when Zhao Xieshu didn''t ept his call.


    It was only after the forth call did Zhao Xieshu answer going straight to the point. "Did you move in with me?"


    Qie Ranzhe felt nervous his palms sweating at the question but held his ground choosing to act shameless saying, "I opened the cube shaped box within the hour and this was my one wish," which wasn''t true as he had already moved his stuff in before Zhao Xieshu even mentioned that bet but of course, the prince would never know that.


    Wen Qinxi was at a lose of words questioning his gambling spirit which inevitably gave Qie Ranzhe leeway allowing the Marshal to wiggle into his life without him even putting up a fight. "You are such a dickhead you know that?" said Wen Qinxi feeling incredibly stupid vowing to never gamble after this.


    "Yeah, yeah l know. Now baby open the door," said Qie Ranzhe his hand on the door knob ready to punish his omega that dared to lock him outside.


    "Fine," said Wen Qinxi opening the door but he soon regretted it as Qie Ranzhe suddenly pushed the door open grasping his wrist before pinning him aganist the wall,


    "Baby, what did you call me?" he said taking off Zhao Xieshu''s pants with one hand and the other holding his wrist.


    Sensing the impending danger, Wen Qinxi tried to struggle but stopped when he recalled how good it felt being screwed by Qie Ranzhe. His face shed crimson with his member shamelessly rising into half mast in anticipation. ''Wouldn''t it be so fuckin hot if he takes me right on this wall,'' he thought pretending to act aggrieved towards the Marshal.


    "Ran-ge, I didn''t....oh gosh," he said with his bare legs lifted up from the ground and wrapped around Qie Ranzhe''s steady waist


    Qie Ranzhe already had his pants half way down as he whispered in his omega''s ear, "So you don''t want to say? Then you leave me no choice but to fuck you till you confess." With that said the two people tangled with each other with neither of them willing to concede their pavilion echoing conspicuous sounds that one could only be thankful for the soundproofing otherwise the entire pce would have heard everything going on in that pavilion.

 Chapter 177: Second World: For The Marshals Eyes Only

    Chapter 177: Second World: For The Marshal''s Eyes Only


    Research states that having so much sex can lead to both positive psychological and physiological benefits in human beings as attested by Wen Qinxi. To be honest, he himself didn''t know what was going on but the people around him and his followers on Valim Network couldn''t help butment how radiant their prince looked with many attributing it to the joys of cohabitating. And yes, news had already spread that the couple had moved in together with so many images of them circting throughout the entire empire.


    Wen Qinxi naturally didn''t pay much attention to what people were saying about him as his entire focus was on the rich in Xianore, a now depleting energy resource used in operating mechas and heavy machinery in this interster world. Because this energy resource was depleting it meant that currently Wen Qinxi owned the biggest deposits of Xianore in the entire universe making him the most powerful person though it wasn''t a well known secret. He nned to use these resources to get Qie Ranzhe in power which would ultimately lead to them sessfullypleting this world.


    This past week he had already sent Captain Rueda and the professor to oversee the project and begin mining procedures while he and the Marshal worked on a detailed n to take over the throne which was quite easy to do as Qie Ranzhe was officially living in his pavilion. The Marshal was now the first andst person he saw each day and he was actually was getting used to it.


    Cohabitating with his boss was fun and interesting creating a unique warm atmosphere that Wen Qinxi had never experienced before even in the real world making him reluctant to part with it in the future. Just like any other morning Wen Qinxi woke up after the Marshal and went to take a shower his mind wandering towards Zhao Huangzhi''s wedding that was taking ce tonight. He had been seriously thinking about how soon after the wedding was the emperor going to bring in Nibiru''s armed forces to forcibly take power from the Marshal when his gaze fell on his tummy only to see that the irritating pouch on his stomach had made itse back following him from the real world.


    "Ah thats so fucked up," he said with a towel wrapped around his waist and another drapped on the top of his head while squeezing the tiny bulge that was mocking him. Frustrated,he called out to Qie Ranzhe, his tone sullen, "Ran-ge,e see this. I think I am getting fat!"


    Qie Ranzhe was actually downstairs packing away some documents but he surprisely heard him rushing up the stairs answering his sweetheart''s call. In a split second, he was already standing by the bathroom door looking at this striking beauty with shed cheeks and damp hair exuding a tantalizing aura that made his heart itch.


    But judging from Zhao Xieshu''s expression he pushed his lewd thoughts at the back of his mind and asked, "Baby, what are you talking?" his lustful gaze sweeping over the omega''s entire body.


    "How am I supposed to judge when you are all covered up? Remove the towel then I can see if you have gained weight or not," he shamelessly continued to say hoping to trick Zhao Xieshu into stripping off the only piece of fabric blocking him from the treasure hidden beneath.


    For a split second, Wen Qinxi almostplied with his had reaching to unwrap the knot on his bath towel that is until his senses returned to him. "So fuckin shameless.....Ran-ge you are such a pervert," retorted Wen Qinxi when he realised he almost got talked into stripping naked and if he had actually done that there was no guarantee that he did be able to leave the house today.


    "What, me...a pervert?" he said pointing at himself looking aggrieved like he had been wrongly used, "You are the one who used the ruse of getting fat to seduce me."


    Wen Qinxi felt defeated unwilling to argue with a lunatic so he went straight to the point. "I am talking about this," he said squeezing the pouch with his body facing Qie Ranzhe, "Ah!.....I think I should cut down on carbs."


    Qie Ranzhe almostughed at his words but held back as he could clearly see that it was bothering him. He himself didn''t care much even if Zhao Xieshu was tubby he would still love him as he fell in lovewith the person not the looks. "Come here," he said embracing Zhao Xieshu from behind with an enchanting smile on his face while rubbing the man''s belly, "I love you regardless of how you look but if it bothers you that much I will diet with you and help you lose it, okay?" He then kissed Zhao Xieshu''s cheek leaving a warm tender feeling that spread to Wen Qinxi''s heart making him almost lose his senses.


    "You are so sweet, you know that?" said Wen Qinxi looking at their reflection in the mirror as aplicated feeling rose in his heart. ''How will I ever get over you when all this is done?'' he thought as he watched Qie Ranzhe kiss his neck through the mirror.


    "I am sweet only to you....now stopped tempting me and put some clothes on. I will drop you off," said the Marshal before reluctantly parting with his lover, "I put some clothes out for you on the bed."


    Wen Qinxi was stuck in a love bubble full of sweet tender feelings that is until Qie Ranzhe said thest part instantly bursting his pink bubble.


    This was the only annoying thing about living with Qie Ranzhe. He had developed a habit of picking out clothes for him which normally would be fine even sweet to some extent but Qie Ranzhe picked clothes that covered his entire body even opting for long sleeves when the sun was scorching hot.


    Staring at those clothes that seemed to taunting him, Wen Qinxi couldn''t help but feel he was one fabric closer to covering up his entire body just like a kage ninja assassin. Dragging his feet he reluctantly put them on before joining the Marshal in the flying car parked right outside the pavilion.

 Chapter 178: Second World: Expired Morning After Pills

    Chapter 178: Second World: Expired Morning After Pills


    Qie Ranzhe was sitting in the back seat reading through some documents with a stern face but as soon as he saw his beloved walking in he immediately put them down with a satisfied smile.


    "You look handsome," he said fixing Zhao Xieshu''s cor in an overly affectionate way that had the driver looking away in embarrassment. He wasn''t the only one, even Wen Qinxi was embarrassed his cheeks flushed red.


    "I don''t like it, it''s so constricting," said Wen Qinxi swatting his hand away before tugging at the cor to give himself more breathing space.


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t seem to see anything wrong with it gently removing Zhao Xieshu''s hands from the cor before fixing it again for him. "This is for my eyes only so bear with it," said the Marshal but once those words escaped his lips he couldn''t shake the feeling of having said or thought that before just in a different setting. He didn''t dwindle on that strange familiar feeling for long kissing Zhao Xieshu''s forehead leaving behind a lingering gentle caress on Wen Qinxi''s skin.


    As soon as Qie Ranzhe dropped him off at Xianxi''s base, Wen Qinxi immediately unbuttoned his cor making it easier to breathe again but that stifling feeling soon returned in just ten minutes of entering the base. Well, this was mainly because a certain group of individuals wouldn''t leave him alone.


    Everything seemed normal at first exchanging warm greetings with his omega team before sitting down to start his work but he soon felt pairs of eyes boring through his skin. After a gruesome minute of being stared at Wen Qinxi couldn''t stand it anymore about to reprimand them but Xiao Hua beat him to it asking, "Xie Xie, have you...have you taken your suppressant?" a question that had Wen Qinxi perplexed but he answered truthfully


    "My next injection is in three months, why?"


    "Nothing," replied Xiao Hua smelling an intense milky cream omega scent that was obviouslying from Zhao Xieshu making him suspicious.


    Wen Qinxi began to seriously look through his work thinking it was over but he was wrong. "Anyone wants to go to the bathroom?" asked Xiao Hua gesturing with his head to Teng as though silently coding him to follow.


    Teng, "Surrrreeee, let''s go."


    "Me tooooo," said Hauidan after being repeatedly beckoned by Xiao Hua to follow. Soon everyone including Tong were all standing at the door apaning each other to the bathroom.


    Wen Qinxi suddenly stood up saying, "I actually do want to go," but Xiao Hua hurriedly stopped him.


    "No!....You stay and go after wee back," while gently pressing him back down into his chair.


    Wen Qinxi found this behavior suspicious but didn''t investigate any further thinking they would tell him if it was something important. The team of omegas left for a good five minutes and when they dide back they didn''t go back to their respective work stations instead sitting around Zhao Xieshu like a flock of birds staring at him weirdly.


    "What?" asked a puzzled Wen Qinxi feeling like a caged animal at the zoo faced with so many gawking eyes.


    It was Teng who elbowed Xiao Hua to speak and so the pink haired omega was forced to ask a personal most definitely sensitive question. "Xie Xie did you and the Marshal....ahem.....did yo-," said Xiao Hua obviously struggling to ask the question that is until Hauidan cut in.


    "Did you get marked by the Marshal," interjected Hauidan asking an obvious question as they could all clearly sense the lingering alpha pheromone.


    Wen Qinxi''s brows knitted together wondering why they would suddenly ask such a question but he still answered honestly, "Yes, why?"


    "Did you take the um....morning after?" asked Tong with thest part said in a whisper his face bright red in embarrassment.


    "Yes, I did? Why? What''s wrong?" he asked still vexed to which direction this conversation was headed. The four people looked at each other before Teng took out a box and asked.


    "Does it look like this?"


    Wen Qinxi nodded his face ridden with confusion that he couldn''t help but ask yet again, "Seriously, guys you are scaring me. What is it?"


    Hauidan stood up while inquiring, "Is the box still in White Baine?"


    Wen Qinxi nod his head again. Ever since Qie Ranzhe marked himpletely during his estrus the Marshal didn''t dare thrust into his womb ever again so he didn''t take the pills along leaving them in his warship. Hauidan soon returned with the box but his face didn''t look so good silently handing over the box to Zhao Xieshu. "Check the expiry date."


    Wen Qinxi checked the date his entire body trembling as a bad premonition loomed above him like a grey stormy cloud. These pills had expired reason being, Zhao Xieshu wasn''t having intimate rtions with anyone hence the morning after pills were left untouched in White Baine for emergency situations but it never crossed these omega''s minds to rece the box which meant, "Xie Xie we think you are pregnant."


    Wen Qinxi, "..."


    Jolie, "....."


    ''What the %@$#&$#&##@%@&#$$@@$$, that''s some f#$@%&*#@#$@@,'' he swore to high heaven his hands trembling while holding the box that betrayed him.


    ''Boss calm down they are probably wrong,'' said the system that didn''t forsee this plot twist. The nerd and the overbearing CEO actually had an in game pregnancy. How exciting news but Wen Qinxi was obviously freaking out having Meng Huangse run a test immediately.


    "No... I am not having a baby. You are all wrong," said a panicsticken Wen Qinxi not certain who exactly he was trying to convince. His friends tried tofort him but it was of no use as Wen Qinxi kept on staring at the screen with bloodshot eyes waiting for the results.


    A few secondster, "Congrattions mommy you are pregnant," said an excited Meng Huangse unable to read the situation.


    Wen Qinxi felt his blood run cold his mind nk staring at the positive result. "Shit!" he cursed before exiting the base in aplicated mood. Everyone tried to reason with him but it was a futile task. They could only secretly light a candle for their dear Marshal.

 Chapter 179: Second World: Pesky Pregnancy Hormones

    Chapter 179: Second World: Pesky Pregnancy Hormones


    A surge of pesky pregnancy hormones erupted out of nowhere jabbing at Wen Qinxi''s mood as though a switch had been flipped as soon as he found out he was expecting. He didn''t really know how to feel when a waves of emotion were creeping up on him one after the other. In that ten minute journey to UPSF headquarters he had gone through an angry, teary and denial phase. By the time he reached their headquarters he was back at the angry phase bulldozing his way into the Marshal''s office but fortunately for the Marshal he wasn''t in the office arranging security forces for Princess Zhao Huangzhi''s wedding taking ce tonight.


    Wen Qinxi wanted to go after Qie Ranzhe where ever he was but changed his mind sending a single message while heading to his pavilion but soon regretted it once it was already sent out.


    NaughtyPrince: You going to be dad so you better take some fuckin responsibility otherwise I will fuck you up.


    To his defense this was his hormones talking, they actually had been talking for more than a week but he brushed off his mood swings as part of his hot headed nature. Wen Qinxi spend the rest of the day assigning tasks to the rest of Xianxi team. Today was an important day as the emperor had purposefully invited the wolf pack into the bear cave. There was bound to be a fight as there was a high chance Nibiru would make it''s move as soon as the nuptials were over and done with.


    Wen Qinxi knew Nibiru''s emperor wouldn''t bring their entire force to the wedding procession but they would surely bring the best of the best to achieve their goal so he had his team watching every single one of Nibiru''s security forces outside the pce. For those in the pce they would be the Marshal''s problem. He only managed to rx when he was certain he had covered all his basis but two blocks away someone was panicking when he saw Zhao Xieshu''s message.


    With trembling hands he re-read that message five times but he wasn''t mistaken. Zhao Xieshu was pregnant and he didn''t know if his omega was angry with him or not. In a single moment he felt panicked, anxious, shock and numbnessall at the same time. He opened Zhao Xieshu''s contact profile but his hesitated for a moment whether to call him or not afraid to know the answer. After some toughening he finally requested a video call and sure enough Zhao Xieshu didn''t ept immediately.


    It took him three tries to get a hold of the prince but even then he didn''t know what to say only calling out to him. "Baby," he called out his tone wan and uncertain. Of course, he wanted to be happy in this moment and let the whole world know but his happiness was barricaded with his concern for Zhao Xieshu. He knew his man feared pain the most and wouldn''t want this but as fate would have it they found themselves in this situation.


    Wen Qinxi could feel the anxiety emitted from the Marshal through themunicator making his heart ache. He obviously didn''t want to have a baby in game or otherwise because he was a man and men don''t fall pregnant but what the fuck was he supposed to do now? It wasn''t on purpose so why cause trouble? He might not get used to it as yet but there was no point in getting angry so he said, "Come home as soon as you are done so we can talk," while looking for the perfect outfit to send off Zhao Huangzhi out of their lives.


    Qie Ranzhe was taken by surprise and couldn''t even hide his reaction asking, "Baby, you are not angry with me?"


    Wen Qinxi snickered within finding the Marshal cute in this moment. Why would he think he was angry with him when it wasn''t on purpose. ''The sex was so fuckin good that the universe just had to correct itself,'' he thought wondering how Qie Ranzhe would react when he finally woke up in the real world.


    "I will be angry at you if you don''te back early," replied Wen Qinxi with his back facing themunicator concealing the smile on his face.


    "Zhao Xieshu," called out Qie Ranzhe prompting Wen Qinxi too face themunicator, "I love you so much."


    Wen Qinxi''s felt a gust of emotion wail up in him at Qie Ranzhe''s words. He felt a lump stuck on his throat as he held back the tears but in the end he failed with one backstabbing tear streaming down his cheek.


    "Shit!" he swore cutting the video call immediately as the water works began. But he didn''t even get to cry to his heart''s content as his moment was interrupted by three busybodies, the grandmasters of wrong timing.


    "Qi-ge you are having a fuckin baby with the CEO? How the fuck did that happen?" asked Hei Bao who apparently found out as soon as they arrived for work this morning. He had been calmly sipping on his cup of coffee when Jolie broke the news all excited looking for the doctor to get its money. Yes, Jolie bet that this exact same situation would ur and talked Machu into cing a bet but of course it wouldn''t be stupid enough to let Wen Qinxi find out.


    Hei Bao almost burnt his tongue on his scolding cup of coffee while Xia Bai couldn''t help but be impressed by Wen Qinxi''s progress. The guy had managed to seduce his unconscious boss to the point of having an in game baby.


    "Did you two actually do it like.....actually actually do it?" curiously asked Xia Bai standing intimately close to Hei Bao with their fingers brushing aganist each other.


    Wen Qinxi, "....."


    "Wait Gecko, how did Ran-ge take it?" asked Machu but instead of a response he got a system notification.


    "Communication channel severed. Please try againter," said an automated voice disappointing the three individuals.


    "I lost my fuckin money over this," said Machu while making a transfer to Wen Qinxi''s ount.


    While the doctor was crying over his loses Xia Bai was staring at Hei Bao with a gaze that revealed a deep attraction making Hei Bao''s heart skip a beat. "Do you want to y in the interster world when the game gets released?" asked Xia Bai already imagining pressing Hei Bao down


    "Yeah, will get to blow up stuff. That sounds fun," replied Hei Baopletely missing the point.


    "Sure, sure," said Xia Bai with a roguish smile before walking over to his work station leaving behind a vexed Hei Bao. Just now his heart leapt up being looked at this way by Xia Bai but couldn''tprehend why thus his vexation.

 Chapter 180: Second World: The Prince Who Cant Keep It In His Pants

    Chapter 180: Second World: The Prince Who Can''t Keep It In His Pants


    While Hei Bao was trying to figure out his feelings, Wen Qinxi was washing his face after a good cry. If he had known this mission would mess with his feelings he wouldn''t have agreed to get involved but it was toote to regret. He was in love and there was no pill one could take to make it all disappear and so had to helplessly endure when someday Qie Ranzhe couldn''t say those words to him again.


    He was busy patting his face dry with a hot towel when Qie Ranzhe suddenly entered the bathroom door his breathing heavy and face flushed as though he had been running. Startled Wen Qinxi wanted to ask what the hell was going on but he didn''t even have a chance to when Qie Ranzhe drew him into his arms and the Marshal sealed his lips with his engaging him in a heartwarming tender kiss. The heat from Qie Ranzhe''s warm lips transfered to his slightly cool lips spreading all over his body making him recklessly fall deeper into this love trap. This kiss expressed exactly how Qie Ranzhe felt towards him a natural connection that had his soul recognizing a feeling of home in the other. Through that one kiss he could feel Qie Ranzhe''s tender, passionate affection towards him making him emotional.


    Qie Ranzhe felt a warm tear graze his skin causing heart to twist in pain as he lifted Zhao Xieshu onto the bathroom counter. Like a glove he fit perfectly in between Zhao Xieshu''s parted legs and proceeded to kiss his tears away. "Come on baby, please don''t cry," he whispered while holding Zhao Xieshu''s chin up kissing his cheeks dry.


    "It''s just some fuckin hormones. Nothing to worry about," said Wen Qinxi stubbornly trying to suck back his tears but Qie Ranzhe could see through his act. It wasn''t the hormones but what he said to him before that made him cry which made the Marshal rush over leaving Machu to do all the work so he couldfort his love.


    ***


    In the blink of eye it was already nightfall as the saying goes time flies when life is good. The entire pce was decorated in the finest material and brightest lights the empire could offer with plenty of prestigious guests walking down the gamorous red carpet. This wedding attracted the attention of both empires some happy with the cooperation between the two empires and others waiting for shit to go down. The live broadcast on Valim Network almost crashed three times unable to handle the views especially when Nibiru''s crown prince, Lin Yao a tall blue eyed handsome man made his appearance. He was a foreign sight to the citizens of Valim thus the excitement. This sparked a debate over who was more handsome, the Marshal or Prince Yao not only on Valim Network but offline among Xianxi team members who where in the dark running surveince on their targets.


    "You must be fuckin blind, that ass of a man ain''t got nothing on our Marshal," said Hauidan speaking through his earpiece while looking through his sniper scope.


    "That asshole doesn''t know how to keep it in his pants. Do you know how many betas, omegas even fuckin alphas he slept with


    His actually never permanently marked anyone and has been living behind a string of broken hearts," said Xiao Hua who was east of Hauidan snacking on some peanuts while looking through his binocrs.


    "But you have to admit his super handsome," said Teng tossing pebbles at her brother who was incredibly annoyed.


    "Ow....Te would you fuckin stop," said Tong in a whisper with his rifle aimed at one of Prince Yao''s man hiding in the shadows, "I won''t be surprised if his flirting at his own wedding."


    Tong was actually right, Prince Yao was sending flirtatious looks towards some young guests while standing in front waiting for his bride. His father, Empire Lin shot him piercing looks but the prince didn''t get the hint acting coquettish with anything pretty. His flirtatious gaze was all over the ce that is until Prince Xieshu snuck into the hall through the side door. Why was his sneaking in? It was because someone couldn''t ultimately keep his hands to himself causing the both of them to bete.


    Wen Qinxi under Emperor Zhao''s disdainful look settled near Prince Lazhiepletely unaware of Prince Yao''s ambiguous gaze fixated on him. "Is that Prince Xieshu?" asked Prince Yao whispering the question to his servant standing next to him.


    "Yes Your Highness but I suggest you tone it down this is indeed still your wedding day," said the servant who had been serving the crown prince since the day he was born.


    "Why aren''t I marrying him?" asked Prince Yao with an impish grin his eyes still staring at Zhao Xieshu.


    "Princess Huangzhi is an unparalleled beauty more gorgeous than Prince Xieshu besides his already betrothal to Marshal Qie," said the servant moving a few inches to block the Prince''s view.


    "Interesting. That actually won''t be a problem. After I sink my ws in Valim I will naturally get rid of thepetition," he said finally taking his eyes off Zhao Xieshu who seemed distracted bullying Prince Lazhie so much so that he didn''t notice his gaze.


    Just when the bride''s procession began, Prince Yao felt a searing hot gaze boring through his skin causing goosebumps all over his body. Curious to know who had the audacity to look at him that way, he looked around only to see the Marshal staring at his person with menacing dark eyes giving off a kill intent that could be felt from afar. A normal person would shrink back treasuring their life but Prince Yao wasn''t a normal person. He was coverting someone who didn''t belong to him and the more he couldn''t have him the more intrigued he was.


    In response, he smirked before he transfixed his eyes on his bride who was as beautiful as his servant described but was in no way matched to Zhao Xieshu.

 Chapter 181: Second World: Frivolous Groom

    Chapter 181: Second World: Frivolous Groom


    While a certain someone was guzzling down a tonne of vinegar eyeing the groom with murderous eyes, the wedding customary proceedings were finallypleted with half-hearted meaningless vows. It was at this moment that the wedding banquet officially began with the guests indulging in the finest food and wine in the entire empire.


    Wen Qinxi didn''t move around too much observing his surroundings while conversing with Zhao Lazhie and Zhao Tiazhi who had somehow developed a habit of following him around. He had a gut feeling that something big was going to go down and so he remained vignt sitted at the high table whilst waiting for dinner to be served.


    "Xie-dage, why didn''t the Qie Familye to the wedding? Wasn''t Madam Qie in favour of Huan-jie before?" asked Prince Lazhie who was already on his third ss of wine making him half-blind to the point of disregarding Emperor Zhao''s disapproving look. He didn''t want neither of his sons and daughter to interact with Zhao Xieshu which they had obeyed all along but now his sons were publicly disobeying him. What made it worse was that he couldn''t reprimand them in public and could only use a menacing stare which proved ineffective.


    "Lan-ge, how can they appear after sister humiliated the Marshal in front of the entire universe. Though those images were taken down, the memory of it is still fresh in my mind. Good riddens.....to freedom," said Zhao Tiazhi thest born of the Zhao family who barely spoke but today got the courage after a few sips of wine.


    The two brothers clinked their sses together drinking to their hearts content. "You two can''t keep drinking on an empty stomach," said Wen Qinxi feeling envious. These two where drinking so leisurely in front of him unting alcohol in his face. This was just a game and he could drink with no real consequences but the Marshal would chew his head off as this baby was as real to him as day.


    "Ai...you two go drink elsewhere," he finally said his line of sight falling on Zhao Huangzhi whose face was covered in a veil obediently sitting on a high chair epting people''s congrattions.


    "Xie-dage, why aren''t you drinking with us? I have been itching to know who between us canst the longest," said Zhao Lazhie his face pinkish red from all the drinking, "Don''t tell me you decided to sober up at a time like this when we should be celebrating Huan-jie''s long awaited departure."


    "That''s none of your concern," he said as the servant ced some dishes in front of them, "Wait, isn''t Zhao Huangzhi a little too obedient. I thought she would put up a fight or something?"


    "You did think so but let me tell you a secret," said Zhao Lazhie leaning in closer, "father drugged her so she can only behave like a timid blushing bride for the entire evening....haha," he chuckled but couldn''tugh for long when he felt an icy chill traveling up his spine like someone was deliberately sending sharp ice shards in his direction.


    He was absolutely right, a few meters away, the Marshal was watching him likehawk his eyes as dark as a ck hole in space ready to devour him at any moment. Wen Qinxi didn''t have time to react to Zhao Lazhie''s statement because he had bigger things to worry about. "What the fuck is this?" he asked ring at the bowl of millet congee ced in front of him while Zhao Lazhie and Zhao Tiazhi had all sorts of delicious meat in front of them.


    "Haha, must be the handiwork of Zhao Huangzhi. Don''t eye my food with those pitiful eyes," said Zhao Lazhie cing a tantalizing piece of spicy braised beef in his bowl.


    No, this had to be the work of a much more overbearing entity that was partially infected with an incurable disease known as ''control freak''. ''Fuck! Qie Ranzhe is screwing with me,'' he thought his eyes coincidentally turning towards the Marshal''s direction.


    Wen Qinxi gave him a ''what the fuck'' expression to which he responded with a tender smile as though saying it''s good for the baby. "Shit!" swore Wen Qinxi shoving his pathetic bowl to the side, "Xiao di di," he said to Prince Lazhie in an overly affectionate way like an older brother coaxing his younger brother to cheat him out of his pocket money. Both Zhao Lazhie and Zhao Tiazhi paused their actions staring at this alien of a creature that actually called out little brother in an affectionate way which was surprisingly pleasant to the ear. Being stared at this Wen Qinxi changed strategy,


    "Ah, Fuck it. Give me your bowl, now," resorting to robbing him instead. He hurriedly took away the untouched bowl of rice and dragged the bowls of meat in front of him deliberately bullying his half brothers.


    "Xie-dage, you can call me that any day I will even give you my mecha for free," said Zhao Lazhie feeling so warm inside being addressed this way. With all the past conflictspletely forgotten.


    Wen Qinxi tsked while shaking his head thinking, ''So fuckin naive.''


    Under the scornful gaze of the Marshal, Wen Qinxi ate everything on the table apart from the bowl of millet congee that remained untouched. And when he was done eating he even dared throw a cold smile at the Marshal rubbing his full belly. Qie Ranzhe initially wanted to stop him but he couldn''t as his omega was sitted with the royal family. As of now he couldn''t casually approach and could only silently endure that is until Crown Prince Yao made his move walking towards Zhao Xieshu with a flirtatious smile that could only have one meaning.


    Wen Qinxi on the other hand, had just gotten rid of the drunk half brothers after much convincing when this adulterous g alpha suddenly appeared in front of him disregarding his surrounding. Though carefully observing his son, Emperor Ling didn''t try to stop him as he hadn''t done anything excessive.....yet.


    With his hands behind his back and an enchanting yet domineering smile he said, "You must be XieXie the infamous party freak. It''s truly an honor to finally meet you," stretching out a hand towards him but Wen Qinxi was not fooled. This could only be the beginning of that showdown his been looking forward to.

    Chapter 182: Second World: Guide To Ruin Your Own Wedding


    Seeing that Zhao Xieshu didn''t ept his polite gesture he carried on speaking, "I see, so these are the poor manners of the people of Valim I have heard about? That''s fine. Seeing how pretty you are I will forgive the disrespect and ask if I can join you."


    Wen Qinxi almost lost it saying, "Who the fuck you calling pretty?" his fists clenched tightly at his sides.


    Seeing this Qie Ranzhe immediately stood up heading towards the two but he suddenly had guns pointed at him by six men who were presumably guests but judging from their response time they were obviously part of Nibiru''s armed forces.


    The Marshal''s men responded quickly drawing their weapons towards the armed forces instantly turning the once boisterous and merry atmosphere vtile. The tension in the room was so thick that one could almost cut it with a knife.


    Prince Yao stretched his beautiful fingers to touch Zhao Xieshu''s face but Wen Qinxi skillfully dodged with a look of disgust but Ling Yao didn''t seem bothered proceedings to say, "Emperor Zhao I will give you want you want but I would like to revise the terms."


    "Xiao Yao don''t take it too far," yelled Emperor Lin who was obviously powerless against his willful son.


    Prince Yao lightly chuckled before responding to his father. "I am merely fulfilling my duty as a son. You benefited from this union so why can''t I?"


    "You!____" yelled the furious Emperor Lin but soon fell silent unable to refute these impudent words. He had indeed pushed his son towards this to gain the precious Xianore mineral from Valim as they were still the biggest supplier even through it was depleting at a visible rate each year.


    "Speak," said Emperor Zhao already foreseeing victory. UPSF fleet was right by his doorstep and by the end of the night it would be in his hands.


    Prince Yao tactfully pointed at Zhao Xieshu and said, "I want him as a reward." Though he had obviously sensed the lingering alpha scent on Zhao Xieshu he didn''t seem to care as all he had to do was kill Qie Ranzhe and this omega''s undying loyalty to the Marshal would be severed. As to the fact that he has just married Zhao Huangzhi, he didn''t care. All he wanted was that interesting blonde back at his pce once this was over.


    Hearing this Qie Ranzhe went biserk drawing his weapon aiming it in Lin Yao''s direction his fingers on the trigger with every intention to kill but Zhao Xieshu turned to his direction and shook his head with aforting smile making the Marshal holster his pistol.


    "Fire at will," he whispered to his team who immediately responded by gunning down Prince Yao''s men hiding in the shadows outside the pce with their sniper rifles that had a silencer fixed at the end of the muzzle. One by one they dropped like flies barely making a sound. In less than two minutes they werepletely wiped out.


    "Drop your weapons otherwise I will have your Marshal gunned down where he stands," said Prince Yao his line of sight back to Zhao Xieshu staring at him like he wanted to swallow him whole.


    The Marshal''s men reluctantly put their weapons down and took a step back as ordered but remained vignt awaiting the Marshal''s instructions.


    "Do you agree?" asked Prince Yao addressing Emperor Zhao but his eyes remained drawn to Zhao Xieshu.


    "Sure whatever you want," replied Emperor Zhao hoping to witness Marshal Qie''s death tonight. After that he would have Nibiru''s army suppress the generals and finally attain full power.


    "You hear that, your father agreed to let me have you. No need to fight it because soon you will belong to me entirely," said Prince Yao with a beaming smile but what happened next wasn''tpletely expected.


    "Ah, fuck it," said Wen Qinxi taking out aser beam pistol from who knows where and aimed at Lin Yao''s temple with a confident smile standing behind the adulterous prince his arm strangling his neck. Prince Yao naturally wanted to struggle free as Zhao Xieshu was an omega and half a head shorter than him but he was soon discouraged when he heard him say, "Omegas have itchy trigger fingers so don''t move otherwise I might identally shoot you."


    The entire room of wedding guests were shocked seeing an omega holding a firearm and even dared to threaten an alpha. Something was definitely wrong with this picture. Firstly omegas were weak by nature and prohibited to be in the army let alone handle firearm. This wasn''t actually a problem as no single omega would even dare think of breaking thew but apparently Zhao Xieshu was an exception. He was not only into drinking and partying all night in night clubs but was also using dangerous weapons, a horrifying scene in their eyes.


    But no one was as shocked as Emperor Zhao. He knew his son was into so many things but weapons actually never crossed his mind. Thinking the kid was bluffing, he said, "Zhao Xieshu put it down. Do you even know how to use that thing."


    Wen Qinxi didn''t waste anytime firing a redser beam in the emperor''s direction striking the wall right behind the old man before aiming it right back at Prince Yao''s temple. The emperor''s face turned pale in utter disbelief but his face soon turned red in anger with purple veins bulging on his forehead pointing at him with a trembling finger. "You!______," he yelled choking in anger.


    "You are right, I don''t know how to use it. I intended to blow your head off," said Wen Qinxi walking backwards to stand beside the Marshal. "Still not lowering your weapons," he said to Prince Yao''s men who were still pointing their guns at Qie Ranzhe.


    "Lower your weapons down!" yelled a petrified Emperor Lin afraid his son will identally get shot. The men obediently listened while Qie Ranzhe''s men tired them up.


    "You think I wouldn''te here without backup huh? You little omega truly underestimate me," said Prince Yao with a malicious smile not at all like a man who had lost.


    Qie Ranzhe swapped ces with Zhao Xieshu that is before he ruthlessly strike Prince Yao''s face with the grip of the pistol causing the man to tumble to the ground bleeding from his nose.


    Prince Yao was in pain but didn''t show any signs of itughing like a deranged mental patient which made Wen Qinxi suspicious. As expected, he heard Xiao Hua''s panicked voiceing out of the earpiece ordering them to duck down. Just as that happened a drone randomly opened fire in the banquet hall tearing the curtains to shreds as shards of broken ss flew all over with the guests screaming on top of their lungs. The scene instantly turned chaotic with guests running around in confusion. Wen Qinxi and Qie Ranzhe ducked down scanning around for a way out.


    ording to the sounding from the firing drone, the Marshal could easily determine which one it was and said, "It will reload in five seconds. Activate your mecha then and let''s get out of here."


    Wen Qinxi''s eyes lit up nodding his head in agreement his heart pounding hard aganist his chest in excitement. It was about time to do his favorite thing.


    "Then will blow shit up," he said with a thrilled smile while rubbing his pendant where Meng Huangse was safely stored.


    With an elegant duchenne smile, Qie Ranzhe kissed Wen Qinxi''s soft lips in a passionate yet possessive manner parting from him reluctantly. "Mn, let''s go."


    The two followed by the Marshal''s men activated their Mechas exiting the room without a trace. Leaving behind the chaotic scene that was of Prince Yao''s design.

 Chapter 183: Second World: Always Lock The Door

    Chapter 183: Second World: Always Lock The Door


    The magnificentvish main hall famous for it''s unparalleled beauty that survived for six centuries was all destroyed in one night and Emperor Zhao was not pleased about it. To top it all off the Marshal and that unfillial son of his escaped unscathed. His main hall suffered great losses all for nothing and Prince Yao wasn''t even apologetic exiting the main hall after turning of the drone.


    Livid, Emperor Zhao followed after this young man who was issuing out orders to his men with no care in the world. "Lin Yao! You took things too far. Why did you have to destroy my entire main hall? To top it all off you didn''t even seed so what was the fuckin point!" bellowed the emperor fuming like a raging bull his veins bursting in anger.


    Prince Yao unhurriedly turned to face him his expression unfeeling at all. "Tsk, tsk....Emperor Zhao desperate times call for desperate measures. Don''t you know? How can you achieve sess if you are unwilling to suffer losses. Now be obedient and go back to your y room and show off all your shy toys to my father and wait for me to deliver on my promise," said Prince Yao with a condescending tone before exiting the room.


    Emperor Zhao wanted to retort but found that he couldn''t speak his anger stuck in his throat. He was about to exit the room when Emperor Lin suddenly asked an unrted question. "Emperor Zhao how does your omega son have a mecha?"


    Emperor Zhao was startled by this line of questioning that had a hint of inculpatory. He could clearly sense the other party''s hidden meaning. Whether he knew or not why his omega son had a mecha and could use firearms he would either waye off as an alpha who couldn''t manage his household stinging his pride. But based on Emperor Zhao''s character he wasn''t one to take things lying down so he said, "You are the one to talk. Your son runs the show like his the fuckin emperor. So don''t you fuckin lecture me."


    Emperor Lin didn''t really have much to say following behind silently. His son was crazy but at least Lin Yao still respected him enough to not conspire aganist him.


    ***


    While Emperor Zhao was going to interrogated the cloaked man over how he didn''t report to him about Zhao Xieshu''s odd behavior Wen Qinxi was being carefully examined by a physician in Night Scourge warship. Under Qie Ranzhe''s urging, Wen Qinxi had to undergo a full body check up and also checking the health of the baby. After everything was determined to be normal, the physician left this picture perfect family to themselves. Qie Ranzhe was excitedly rubbing Zhao Xieshu''s belly with a genuine smile in his eyes expressing his joy but Wen Qinxi felt somewhat awkward letting him do as he pleased.


    "Will you stop? This isn''t the time to be belly rubbing when we have a war to fight," said Wen Qinxi running his fingers through Qie Ranzhe''s hair whose head was sticking close to his belly as though listening to something. "You won''t hear anything apart from my tummy digesting. The kid is like the size of pin so how can it make a sound?" he continued to say unable toplete Qie Ranzhe''s thought process.


    Qie Ranzhe finally raised his head staring at the omega with sparkly eyes and an unmistakably foolish grin. "Baby, I think his lonely in the there. How about we give him apanion?" said the all so cunning Marshal climbing on top of Zhao Xieshu looking like a predator ready to strike. He slid his hand under Zhao Xieshu''s shirt clearly expressing his intentions his palm rubbing aganist the omega''s warm skin that was hot to the touch.


    Wen Qinxi slightly shivered at his touch thinking, ''this man is a sex addict,'' but in actuality he wasn''t fairing an better with his member already enthusiastically twitching in anticipation.


    "Ran-ge, that''s not how it works.....ah....stop.....we have to go," protested Wen Qinxi moving up in an attempt to flee but Qie Ranzhe grabbed his thighs and dragged him back under before kissing him fervently. Qie Ranzhe wasn''t polite about it biting and sucking on his lips punishing him for eating other people''s things at the banquet.


    He only let go after venting all his frustrations asking, "Do you know what you did wrong."


    ''This question again?'' thought Wen Qinxi recalling the first world where this questionnded him in a blood contract. "Why are so petty? You know I like eating spicy food so how could I resist that temptation?" said Wen Qinxi feeling wronged. He was sacrificing a lot but couldn''t even eat what he liked.


    "Fine, you can eat that but I don''t like it when you eat other people''s things and I don''t like it when people look at you," said Qie Ranzhe his head buried in Zhao Xieshu''s chest hiding his indignant expression.


    Wen Qinxi naturally understood Qie Ranzhe''s tendencies of constantly eating vinegar for any living thing that came close to him which was something he couldn''t fix over night so he could only speak words offort.


    "Do you hear my heart beat?" asked Wen Qinxi turning the Marshal''s head to the side so his ear could listen, "As long as its beating just know it beating for you and no one else. So they can look but my sight would alwaysnd on you." These words weren''t spoken out of ttery or for the purpose of winning this world but were Wen Qinxi''s true feelings spoken sincerely.


    Qie Ranzhe was surely appeased by these words and was about to rip off Zhao Xieshu''s clothes and leave his marks once more but the door suddenly opened with Machu walking in on such a striking scene.


    "Seriously? Don''t you two know how to lock the door or at least put don''t disturb sign?" said Machu before shutting the door once more. This is to say the Marshal wasn''t going to getid because he didn''t lock the door.


    "Ran-ge, get off. The party is cancelled," said Wen Qinxi gently pushing the Marshal off. Qie Ranzhe didn''t protest physically only verbally voicing his grievances.


    "Babye on. I will lock the door this time. I promise I will be quick," tugging at his sleeve while staring at him with armatory filled eyes.


    Wen Qinxi finished buttoning up his white shirt before standing up to put on his formal jacket saying, "Ha! You don''t know the definition of quick. Quick to you is forty-five minutes to an hour." Wen Qinxi reached out to fix the Marshal''s tie as he continued to say, "So you can look at me like that all you want but it''s not going to work. Now be good and I will reward youter."

 Chapter 184: Second World: An Incredibly Hot Omega

    Chapter 184: Second World: An Incredibly Hot Omega


    With those words two people one smiling the other looking like a vengeful ghost that was ready to exact revenge on Machu, walked out of the room heading for the conference room.


    As soon as they entered they were met by six generals who were happily gossiping about the Marshal and his partner immediately mping up in silence but obviously still chatting in private.


    General one: AAAAAHHHH! A match transcendent from the heavens.


    General three: Oh shit! The Prince looks even more handsome in person. You better not snitch on my wife for rubbernecking.


    General six: This is a safe space for those who like admiring beautiful things. We should change the group name to the Rubbernecking Association.


    Sensing the peculiar stares Wen Qinxi''s ears turned red with the Marshal itching to gouge out those ogling pairs of eyes. Qie Ranzhe immediately grabbed Zhao Xieshu''s waist in a possessive manner guiding him to his seat.


    General five: Did you see where he ced his fuckin hand, hahaha our Marshal is cute when jealous.


    General two: Who wouldn''t be jealous? With a hot blond like that at your side you would have to swat away love rivals like swatting away flies.


    General four: I suddenly feel sympathy for the Marshal. He gets so easily jealous. Look at him he''s even jealous over us his good brothers admiring his wife.


    Qie Ranzhe suddenly broke silence yelling, "You do know I am in that chat group, right? It''s written on top Takeover n, that''s the name of the group chat!"


    "Yes, we do know that''s why we are using that group chat," said the third General with the rest nodding their heads in agreement with no intention of hiding it.


    Qie Ranzhe felt somewhat defeated about to change the subject but Wen Qinxi was a little curious so he leaned over whispering into his ear, "How can they chat while facing front keeping straight faces?"


    Hearing this question Qie Ranzhe raised one brow and responded, "It''s a weird skill I teach youter," but his eyes were fixed on Zhao Xieshu''s flushed ear that looked somewhat appetizing urging him to take a nibble.


    It took all his might to draw his eyes away while loudly clearing his throat to alleviate the tension putting on a serious facade. But that stern expression crumbled like a dry brittle cookies when Zhao Xieshu ced his hand on the Marshal''s thigh under the table igniting a fiery passion in the Marshal that his face inevitably reddened blushing like a timid bride. Wen Qinxi was fully aware he was ying with fire but couldn''t help himself.


    "Baby, don''t be like this," said the Marshal in a somewhat husky voice his lustful gaze staring at Zhao Xieshu''s side profile making Wen Qinxi''s face heat up as he struggled to feign calmness. This was thest straw for the generals who had been fed real time dog food for no apparent reason.


    "Do you want us to go offline for a bit so you guys can deal with the suffocating tension brewing between you," said the sixth general as a spokesperson representing all the other generals.


    "Yes__,"


    "No___," responded the both of them at the same time with the former obviouslying from Qie Ranzhe. The pair looked at each other in silentmunication and it was obvious who won and who was forced to concede as Qie Ranzhe suddenly said,


    "Okay, let''s begin the meeting_____," carrying on to reiterate their n of action and what they aimed to achieve which none of the generals sawing.


    "You want to take over and be the emperor?" asked the second general unbelieving of the Marshal''s words.


    "Don''t get us wrong we support your decision and stand by your side but what makes you think the Ambassadors will agree?" inquired the forth general genuinely curious.


    The sixth general found thisughable and couldn''t help interjecting. "That''s isn''t an issue. I can kill those greedy bastards myself if they don''t agree," she said mming her pistol on the table, "just say the word."


    Seeing his n turning bloody Wen Qinxi couldn''t help but speak out, "No need. The Ambassador will obviously agree."


    "How?" asked the first general who couldn''t think of an viable n apart from killing.


    "Because we have something they want. Xianore and with this I intend to not only put Qie Ranzhe in power but also liberate all omegas and give them the right to choose their future," said Wen Qinxi his tone respectful yet domineering.


    The generals couldn''t believe their ears picturing their weak sons, daughters or wives going down a dangerous path. They were undoubtedly blinded by their protective instincts and Wen Qinxi could clearly see that.


    To convince this team of unbelievers, Wen Qinxi drew his pistol and aimed at the furtherest in-ceiling light and didn''t hesitate to pull the trigger sessfully striking his target.


    "Oh shit!" eximed an astounded fifth general with the rest as dumbfounded as he was.


    "That was incredibly hot," said the sixth general expressing her admiration for Zhao Xieshu but the Marshal wasn''t pleased immediately suspending the meeting with their screens turning ck with an error message.


    Error 301: Suspended till further notice.


    Qie Ranzhe''s alpha pheromones suddenly filled the room as he decisively locked the door on the control panel denying anyone ess. Even the cameras were immediately switched off causing the people in the control room to panic.


    Wen Qinxi suddenly felt a sense of crisis at the realisation that he was about to get eaten whole. "Come here," said the Marshal after sealing of the entire room so no pheromones will leak out except through the extractor fan.


    Wen Qinxi couldn''t move as his legs were weak to the knees but that wasn''t an issue for Qie Ranzhe as he picked up Zhao Xieshu and ced him on the table spreading his legs apart. "That was incredibly sexy baby," he said his strong arms drawing Zhao Xieshu closer before kissing his lips with the bulge in his pants grinding against his omega through the fabric. Just like that, Wen Qinxi was screwed senseless on that table till he could barely recall his name.

 Chapter 185: Second World: Captain Obvious

    Chapter 185: Second World: Captain Obvious


    Lin Yao knew it would be a herculean task to beat the UPSF fleet so he didn''t hesitate having his entire army appear in Valim''s exospace. In a matter of seconds dozens of warships appeared right before the people''s eyes showcasing a magnificent and majestic aura but not to the people of Valim. To the citizens this seemed like a clear deration of war as they scattered like ants towards all avable transport facilities but unfortunately for them Emperor Zhao sent out a decree that no one was to leave Valim closing off all exit points.


    Just as the crowd began to panic with chaos erupting in all four corners, the emperor finally showed his face addressing his people in an attempt to soothe them. "________ as long as the Marshal hands over the UPSF fleet to mymand there did be a peaceful resolution. I am fairly certain that the Marshal won''t let any harm befall Valim and surely make the right decision_____," was part of the emperor''s speech but it didn''t appease the people but rather riled them up using the emperor for selling out the empire to Nibiru and that he was a traitor.


    "Your Majesty this...it doesn''t look good," said the terrified Royal advisor soon after the emperor finished his broadcast.


    Emperor Zhao seemed the least bit concerned questioning him with a scowl on his visage, "What are they saying?"


    "Th-there are talks of you selling out the empire an-an-,"


    "Shut up! They don''t know what''s good for them," interjected the emperor yelling at his servant with no reservations. He was about to carry on with his tantrum when Prince Yao himself hacked into Valim Network and began another live broadcast calling out the Marshal.


    "Your emperor is right. I am not here to cause any trouble, all I want is your Marshal to surrender to me and this little nightmare will surelye to an end," he said whilenguidly sitted in the captain''s chair rubbing his lips with his thumb withmanding yet iridescent eyes that could dazzle anyone who looked at them for too long. "Tell you what, I will give you five minutes toe and i-," he carried on but he was soon interrupted by another iing transmission.


    "I am sorry to disappoint you but that''s not going to happen," said a radiant dazzling beauty who suddenly appeared with unforgettable lustrous blonde hair, "from now on you will be dealing with me so don''t even bother mentioning him."


    This majestic beauty could only be one person, the controversial prince who stole the hearts of many and disgusted some. They couldn''t fathom why it had to be the omega prince speaking up against Nibiru''s crown prince instead of the Marshal.


    "Ah yes.....my future wife. I find it erotic that you can use a firearm and apparently fly a top grade mecha bute on sweetheart you sho-," he said but didn''t even get to finish his statement when a clear hissing sound followed by a loud explosion searing one of Nibiru''s warships ripping it apart to shreds. Their protective shield was of little to no use unable to fend off White Baine''s attack.


    "Call me sweetheart one more time, I dare you," said Wen Qinxi displeased by this form of address.


    "You are indeed audacious. You dare be on the offensive when you only have two warships on your side. Give it up, by the time back up gets here it would be toote," replied Prince Yao with a hint of irritation in his tone. He was right, currently on Valim''s side there was only White Baine and Dark Scourge warship facing the entire army of Nibiru. At this point they were obviously outnumbered and any regr person would concede but this was all done on purpose as part of Wen Qinxi''s n.


    "Now be good and give yourself up like an obedient omega," said Prince Yao but he didn''t expect Zhao Xieshu to cut off the broadcast before firing powerfulser cannons towards Lin Yao''s warship. Prince Yao''s warship had a reinforced shield so it was only natural that theser cannons didn''t breakthrough immediately but the shields was weakening with each strike which was a cause for concern for Nibiru.


    Smaller warships began to form a defensive wall around Prince Yao''s warship while smaller spaceships exiting the warshipsunching an assault on White Baine and Dark Scourge.


    "Time to up the stakes. Suit up and let''s send them back to Nibiru in coffins," said Wen Qinxi addressing the rest of Xianxi. Excited, the four omegas left themand bridge exiting White Baine in their mechas. It was about time they fought in realbat.


    "You sure are sexy when you talk like that," said Qie Ranzhe through themunicator making Wen Qinxi blushbut he couldn''t linger on these words focusing his attention on the screen. Xianxi mechas were light years ahead of Nibiru''s technology putting them at an advantage.


    "No flirting, daddy is working," said Wen Qinxi changing the trajectory of theser cannons towards the warships guarding Prince Yao''s warship.


    Qie Ranzhe couldn''t help but lightly chuckled while aiming at another warship before blowing it up to ash. "Are you sure you don''t want me to bring the rest of UPSF fleet? Once they make their appearance it would be easy suppress this puny army," said the Marshal feeling a bit unease about this n.


    Zhao Xieshu wanted to prove that omegas are powerful enough to handle such grave situations and this was the opportunity he was looking for thus exining why he had UPSF fleet on standby. It''s not that he was underestimating Zhao Xieshu''s strength it was just that he couldn''t stop himself from worrying.


    "I just need to get to prince loud mouth then you can finish them off," replied Wen Qinxi as soon as another explosion erupted causing a powerful after shock that hauled away some of the smaller spaceships.


    Meanwhile on Prince Yao''s warship, the prince was tightly clutching his fingers on his armrest till his knuckles turned white. As luck would have it, captain obvious decided to make an appearance.

 Chapter 186: Second World: Weirdos

    Chapter 186: Second World: Weirdos


    "Your Highness we have lost three of the four warships covering our defenses," said the man sessfully earning himself a p across his face causing him to tumble to the ground in a daze.


    "Yes, I fuckin know that I have eyes! So fuckin useless," said Lin Yao his patients wearing thin. He had to do something otherwise it would be an embarrassing defeat if his warship gets destroy when he had numbers on his side. He just couldn''t understand how White Baine and Dark Scourge had such a strong defense shield. He had barely made a dent in it despite his warships firing insistently. Something was definitely different. He had spies all over Valim empire but never heard of their defense and weaponry system being this ahead of time.


    Running out of options he decided to use an underhanded method to get the Marshal to surrender so without saying a word he left his warship heading straight for Valim in his mecha.


    Though outnumbered the couple was holding their ground which was basically child''s y to the two of them. No matter how hard Nibiru''s armed forces tried, whatever strategy it was, it seemed ineffective unable to inflict any damage on their opponent. At the rate at which things were going it seemed this battle was going to go on forever with Nibiru forces losing their numbers that is until their Prince initiated anothermunication channel but this time he wasn''t in the warship but in a room the Marshal was ever so familiar with.


    Lin Yao was now fully aware of the Marshal''s strength and he knew he could never win this fight if he faced him head on and thus chose a ungentleman like scrupulous method. He was now holding the Qie Family hostage with crazed red-rimmed eyes.


    It was evident on both Wen Qinxi and Qie Ranzhe''s faces that they didn''t see thising. They had ounted for very scenario but didn''t think for once that Lin Yao would resort to such a method.


    "There is no need for me to exin what kind of predicament you are in Marshal but just in case you don''t understand let me exin it to you in terms that you can clearly understand," said Prince Yao pointing the camera at the bound Qie Family tucked in a corner.


    Beside Qie Sunxie who seemed unharmed the rest were in a pitiful state with half of the retired Marshal''s face covered in blood. It was evident there had been a brutal fight before to which Papa Qie was beaten resulting in such a grave injury. Mama Qie though in a much better state she had a swollen face with dry blood at the tip of her nose her eyes red and swollen. It was clear she had been crying.


    Prince Yao strolled in light steps towards Papa Qie before crouching down before him twirling a sharp dagger in his fingers. Like a crazed psychopath, he traced the tip of the dagger along Papa Qie''s leg as though looking for the perfect spot to strike then without warning he ruthlessly stabbed the man''s leg causing grievous harm as blood gushed out like a fountain. He then drew the dagger out and wiped it on Papa Qie''s clothes. He was a little dissatisfied as the retired Marshal didn''t make any sound through out the entire ordeal looking at him with dark unyielding eyes that one would question who exactly was the captive in this case.


    "I am going to fuckin kill you!" yelled the Marshal before leaving Dark Scourge without saying another word.


    Wen Qinxi naturally knew Qie Ranzhe was going after the prince and so he also exited White Baine after instructing the generals to unleash the full force of UPSF fleet on Nibiru''s armed forces and make them run off to their mama''s in tears.


    Reinforcements arrived simultaneously surrounding Nibiru''s armed forces that looked like cubs inparison as the true beasts had arrived. It was ten aganist a thousand making the winner obvious. Out of desperation the surrounded Nibiru forces tried to enter warp speed and escape but how could the generals let them off so easily?


    Every possible exit was blocked and they were just about to show the enemy how insignificant they were when a intrusive transmission interfered.


    "Generals, please leave some bread crumbs for us we haven''t had this much fun for ages," said Teng his Mecha flying past the fourth general''s warship.


    "AAAAHHHH, I am not done blowing things up. I need more time," uttered Tong firingser beams at another Nibiru spaceship.


    "Me neither. Don''t be greedy generals there is plenty of enemies to share among us," said Hauidan with his calctions absolutely off. There were obviously fewer enemies but who was counting.


    Generals, "...."


    "Who are you?" asked the sixth general with a perplexed expression wondering which these weirdos hailed from.


    "Sorry for being rude. We are Xianxi an omega team led by Prince Xieshu. It''s a pleasure to finally meet you," said Xiao Hua taking charge of White Baine.


    The generals were stunned speechless seeing such a strange phenomenon. The omegas were wlessly operating top grade mechas as if it was nothing. This was unbelievable and they didn''t even bother concealing their surprise.


    ***


    While the generals were being mind blown Wen Qinxi had just stepped foot into the Qie Family home. The door was left wide open with no soul in sight. This didn''t make any sense, they had to be here. Even Qie Ranzhe was no where in sight. A bad premonition suddenly loomed over him urging him to leave the house and call Qie Ranzhe but just as he stepped his foot out the door a hand suddenly covered his nose and mouth with a cloth before everything suddenly turned dark.


    He felt his body gradually sink into the dark abyss losing consciousness. He had fallen into the enemy''s hands just like that leaving a feeling of hopelessness. His body was then dragged into a car then a warship before it entered warp speed exiting the Valim space. Prince Xieshu was sessfully abducted by an unknown assant.

 Chapter 187: Second World: A Force Not To Be Reckoned With

    Chapter 187: Second World: A Force Not To Be Reckoned With


    In a fit of anger, Qie Ranzhe had descended upon his mother''s beauty spa where the entire Qie family was being held hostage. The Marshal''s way of dealing with matters was crude and ruthless. Unlike those hostage negotiations, Qie Ranzhe just walked straight into the fire his demeanor horrifyingly scary to the point of making one of Prince Yao''s men almost pee his pants in fright.


    Qie Ranzhe was a typical example of a shoot now ask questionster type of person bashing the man''s head so hard aganist the wall as blood came gushing out. If he weren''t dead then he would most definitely be a vegetable for the rest of his life.


    The rest of the men witnessed such a bloody scene and looked at each other as though contemting on how to proceed. It was obvious they couldn''t beat this beast in a one on one match and could only rely in their numbers. But among them one man was gifted with the ability to forsee danger which could easily be mistaken for being a coward. He knew even if they were a dozen of them fighting aganist Qie Ranzhe they wouldn''t be able to subdue let alone defeat him.


    He silently weighed his options. Was his sry worth having his legs broken? No, he still treasured his life. "Fuck this shit isn''t worth it," he said before walking out of the beauty spa under the scornful gazes of his counterparts. Despite dubbing him a coward, they soon envied him and wished they had taken the opportunity to run away.


    The brave men lunged forwardunching an attack towards the Marshal but they didn''t even manage to touch a single strand of his hair with deadly bullets flying across the room. In the blink of an eye the room was suddenly filled with grey blinding smoke making it hard for one to see their fingers even if they brought them close to their faces. The ying field had been leveled and the men''s faces turned grave as their so called advantage had been taken away just like that. Beads of cold sweat began to run down their foreheads and backs unable to determine where the Marshal would strike first.


    An eerie silence filled the room as the rain of bullets came to a halt. Under this circumstance they knew not to make a sound as this would only sell out their position so with heavy hearts they could only wait in silence like vignt prey waiting for the predator to make its first move. The hunter had be the hunted.


    Without any warning a shrewd cry pierced the fog eerily simr to that of a dying animal during ughter. This was followed by gunfire directed in the direction at which the screams came from but it didn''t help as another sinister cry came from another direction. What these men didn''t know was that the Marshal had only killed two of them but the rest killed each other by randomly firing their guns in a frenzy.


    In less than six minutes the smell of blood permeated the room with the Marshal walking out his clothes the same as he entered, spotless with no single stain of blood. In steady unnerving footsteps Qie Ranzhe head towards his mother''s office in which his entire family was being held captive.


    Meanwhile, Lin Yao naturally heard everything happening in the reception area but instead of fear or panic, the man was calming seated on the swivel leather chair casually spinning a pen in between his fingers with his feet crossed at the ankles up on the desk. This was exactly the scene Qie Ranzhe walked into.


    Lin Yao slowly stood up and casually said, "You are truly a force that can''t be reckoned with. You can take them away, I naturally can''t win aganist you."


    Faced with such a response Qie Ranzhe wasn''t sure how to react. He expected Lin Yao to put up a fight but it turned out the man easily surrendered so what was the whole point of bringing an army? Why make such a fuss basically dering war only to concede the very next minute. Qie Ranzhe hated this wishy washy attitude the most. Prince Yao''s men had lost their lives and for what? This crime naturally deserved punishment and Qie Ranzhe bestowed upon himself the title of judge, jury and executioner handing down the punishment immediately.


    Without any hesitation his fist dealt a heavy blow on Lin Yao''s face causing the man to stagger grimacing in pain. Unable to keep himself steady, the prince began to see stars as the room began to spin uncontrobly causing him to tumble to the floor with a loud thud.


    Qie Ranzhe immediately attended to his family. They were hurt but the injuries weren''t grave so he called Machu who came over immediately and took the Qie Family away.


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t go with them but stayed behind as he wasn''t done dealing with Lin Yao. He had recounted each and every injury on his parents'' bodies and as we all know the Marshal was a petty man. He intended to give back to Lin Yao two fold and make him suffer the same grievances.


    Before the round of beatings began, Lin Yao sat upright with his body leaning against the wall. His left eye was swollen with a red spot but in such a pitiful sorry state he began toughpletely out of character. After half a minute ofughing he finally said, "Please Marshal let''s not strike my face anymore. Remember I have a new wed waiting for me at home. Hit anywhere you like but not my face."


    Qie Ranzhe wasn''t courteous beating up Lin Yao venting out all his anger and when he was done he dragged him all the way to the pce before tossing him at the feet of Emperor Lin. "You have five minutes to take this piece of shit with you and put a leash on him otherwise I will annihte your entire empire," said Qie Ranzhe in an imperative tone.

 Chapter 188: Second World: The Marshals Most Important Person

    Chapter 188: Second World: The Marshal''s Most Important Person


    This was obviously not up for negotiation so Emperor Lin called out to his servants to carry his son before scurrying out of the main hall like his pants were on fire.


    Emperor Zhao watched with bloodshot eyes as his only support ran off leaving him to deal with the aftermath. It was then that he realised he had made a miscalction. It never crossed his mind that his n would fail and not only fail but fail miserably. What made it worse was that he held back his escape thinking Prince Yao kidnapping the Qie Family would sessfully twist the Marshal''s arm and he would finally concede but the emperor was too naive.


    At least he still had the cloaked man waiting on standby to rescue him and with that thought in mind he pushed away his fear and sent out a distress signal. To stall for time he decided to converse with the Marshal and dy the envitable.


    "Marshal Qie, I truly underestimated you. If I had known things would end up this way I wouldn''t have bothered proceeding with such a dreadful n and enjoyed my throne in peace. But even so you still would have taken my throne away from me as you are after all the most powerful man in the empire. Who in this entire universe could have the power to stop you?" said the emperor lesuirely pacing to his throne. Though his actions were natural Qie Ranzhe knew this man was trying to create some distance between them so he wouldn''t get attacked but why would the Marshal want to give this man a peace of mind.


    Qie Ranzhe moved a couple of steps closer his arms folded across his chest all nonchnt saying, "Actually, you are right. No one in this entire universe can stop me from taking over your throne but there was something that could. I am surprised you never watched thete emperor''sst recorded testimonial. My father personally recorded that session and sent it to you after thete emperor passed away."


    In that testimonial thete emperor had signed a contract with the retired Marshal not to seize the throne from his son unless he endangers the empire of Valim and its citizens by either starting a war or colluding with the enemy. In the video, thete emperor stored his copy of the contract along with the empire''s important documents but who knew his son wouldn''t even bother to open those documents or watch his father''sst testimonial.


    Emperor Zhao''s face turned ashen, his lips trembling. The moment he brought in the zerg that contract became null and void but he could still get away with it as this couldn''t be traced back to him but now that he had publicly stirred up trouble and brought in Nibiru into Valim affairs it meant he was finished. A flicker of regret shed through his eyes but it was toote for that.


    Qie Ranzhe was justified to take the throne from him as he was unfit for service. "Even now you are still underestimating me."


    The emperor was confused with his brows knitted together asking, "What?" The door was suddenly opened with the usually cloaked man flung onto the follow his scarred face finally revealed to the world.


    "Emperor Zhao yourst means of escape has been cut off. You even dared to collude with this nafarious character?" said Qie Ranzhe as the army officers apprehended the both of them. The nafarious character Qie Ranzhe was referring to was the cloaked man aka Pantu thest of three grandmasters well versed in martial arts but wasbeled a traitor when he sold out UPSF fleet secrets to anyone who was willing to pay for it. This led to the fleet losing a lot of their Xianore and weapons to space pirates. This man disappeared without a trace after the transporter carrying him to prison suddenly exploded which exined the unsighty scars on his face. Who would have thought the traitor was now Emperor Zhao''s henchman.


    Emperor Zhao''s face drained out more of its color leaving behind an ashen pale face. He then realized that everything was over but he didn''t think things would turn for the worst when he heard the Marshal say, "He started to chirp as soon as we caught him giving up all your secrets just to save himself from the death penalty. Do you want to know what he said?"


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t wait for Emperor Zhao to respond as the man fell limply to the floor in shock. "He gave me evidence that you killed Gu Xiejie so you could keep her wealth and marry your high-school sweetheart."


    Emperor Zhao immediately shook his head denying the usation. "I didn''t, I didn''t, I didn''t," he kept on repeating the same words but Qie Ranzhe didn''t spare him a nce calling Zhao Xieshu on hismunicator while saying, "There is a lot of secrets I would love to divulge but you would have to wait for your first born son to arrive first so he can personally deal with you."


    Emperor Zhao was on all fours having a panic attack but Qie Ranzhe didn''t pay attention scowling when he heard an automated response, "This device is out of range. Please try againter."


    It was at this moment that the Marshal pieced everything together. This exined Lin Yao''s out of character behavior earlier on. Lin Yao knew he was fighting a losing battle but if he could take away the Marshal''s important person then it would count as win. "Fuck!" swore Qie Ranzhe smashing hismunicator on the ground, "Go find him!"


    ***


    A couple of light years away Lin Yao finally arrived to his aplish''s spaceship and silently approached the sleeping beauty who was lying there soundlesslypletely unaware of his surroundings. "I bet he''s going crazy right now. Don''t worry even if he turns the entire universe upside down he will never find you," said Lin Yao with a light chuckle as his fingers gently pushed away Zhao Xieshu''s stray blonde strands and lowered himself to kiss the man''s forehead.

 Chapter 189: Second World: Psychopaths and The Crazy

    Chapter 189: Second World: Psychopaths and The Crazy


    In the dark vast of space avish warship travelled at warp speed heading to an unknown location. Inside were two Zhao family omegas one abducted and the other not even sure why Prince Yao decided to drag her into this. Every day Zhao Huangzhi was forced to share the same table with this conniving man who was meant to be her husband. Plenty of times she wanted to simply knock him out and turn this warship around back to Valim but it was only wishful thinking.


    On her charade of a wedding day this alpha was flirting with Zhao Xieshu and even dared to challenge the Marshal for him which worsened the burning hatred in her heart. She hated Zhao Xieshu with a every fibre of her being and every bone in her body. Her hatred had reached a point of no return with a strong desire to erase her half brother''s very existence but she couldn''t even get close to the unconscious Zhao Xieshu. Sipping on her tea she imagined how easy it would be to strangle that delicate neck of his with a smile. In her eyes, Zhao Xieshu was the problem and once he''s gone everything will naturally fall back in ce. With this chain of thought she decided to try and get along with Lin Yao using her charms so she could get to her enemy.


    While he was busy being plotted against, Wen Qinxi was in a vegetative state and could only pass his boredom chatting it up with Xia Bai, Hei Bao, Jolie and Machu awaiting for this body to final move again. "Next world, I need a character that doesn''t attract psychopaths and the crazy. Seriously how many times have I been kidnapped?" said Wen Qinxi while they were ying online mahjong.


    "Says the guy who has no pursuers in the real world. Do you know how badly I want to be you right now? Women or men I pretty much don''t care right now I will take it.....ouch," said Hei Bao that is until Xia Bai ruthlessly pinched his thigh under the table, "What was that for? And why are you sitting so close? Geez.....you like a sticky puppy."


    Xia Bai was simply unfazed by this with a smirk at the corner of his mouth creating an awkward atmosphere that the doctor just wanted to escape from.


    "What about that girl who baked you cookies and forbade everyone to eat them apart from you? She was obviously pursuing you," said Wen Qinxi carefully studying his tiles.


    "She''s been avoiding me a lottely and I don''t know why....I say doc, what does it mean if someone who usually showered you with goodies suddenly starts avoiding you like the gue?" asked Hei Bao with a serious expression.


    Machu knew he had been mistaken for a different kind of doctor but didn''t hesitate to answer. "Wrong doctor Hei Bao, I am not a psychologist but maybe.....," he said taking a glimpse of Xia Bai who was pursing his lips tightly pretending to be studying his tiles seriously on his tablet, "there are some outside forces tampering with fate."


    "Ahem....," said Xia Bai loudly clearing his throat as though preventing the doctor from carrying on with this discussion.


    "Whatever it is you better be fuckin grateful. That psycho has beening to me every night and kissing my forehead saying some bullshit like I will only mark you in this life like that''s even fuckin poss- ....AAAAAHHHH shit!" yelled Wen Qinxi when his in game body suddenly drew his consciousness back into the game. He was suddenly awake.


    Everyone, "..."


    "Oh, carry on. He was drawn back into the game. I will rece him," said Jolie taking over Wen Qinxi''s ount.


    "No!!!!" shouted everyone simultaneously unwilling to let this dubious AI gamble with them. They already lost so much money and didn''t dare to gamble with it anymore.


    Wen Qinxi''s heavy eyes suddenly opened with his pupils constricting tightly adjusting to the bright white light hung above him. Just as he sat up straight to find afortable position a wave of nausea overwhelmed him.


    ''Shit!'' he cursed internally rushing over to bathroom to puke his guts out but since his stomach was empty he could only vomit bitter gastric juices. His body became limp as his difort vanished into thin air. He rinsed his mouth and walked out of the bathroom only to be met with Lin Yao''s grim face.


    "Are you pregnant?" he asked staring at him like a prisoner on death row.


    Wen Qinxi for the first time in his life felt like rolling his eyes but held back and said, "Of course, I am fuckin pregnant. I am a marked omega for heaven sake yet you had the balls to abduct me. What the fuck were you thinking?" said Wen Qinxi scolding him like an angry aunty at a fish market.


    Lin Yao seemed dispirited for a moment but his eyes soon regained a beautiful luster saying, "That''s fine too. I can wait and severe the rtionship you have with your alpha after the baby is born." He moved a step closer only to have a heavy punch greet his face. It wasn''t as powerful as the Marshal''s punch but it was more painful considering his feelings towards Zhao Xieshu. Each time he was close to him he felt the urge to mark him grow even more which was unnatural considering he had never had the urgency to mark anyone before.


    "Such a fucking dickhead," said Wen Qinxi walking out of the room heading for the cafeteria. He wasn''t the least bit worried because in his body was a tracker he had every member of Xianxi team installed especially after he was abducted thest time. This tracker was undetectable and could only work when activated by him so he activated it while picking up some familiar food in the cafeteria.


    He had to fill his stomach otherwise the little ancestor in his belly will be restless and bothersome. He had been sleeping for a week already and it was about time he needed the Marshal''s pheromones to soothe his belly otherwise he would have painful abdominal pain which was like hell to this omega.


    Just as he sat down to eat a familiar scent filled his nose only to find Zhao Huangzhi staring at him from afar. Her face was riddled with disgust and pure hatred that was difficult to hide. Wen Qinxi didn''t continue staring back in her direction choosing to focus on his food. To be honest, regardless of how powerful he was in this world he was still terrified of Zhao Huangzhi. This beautiful goddess was unpredictable and ruthless.


    A shadow was suddenly cast over him and sure enough when he raised his head, he found her standing before him looking like she was going to attack him at any second. Fortunately for the both of them, she didn''t do anything but sat opposite him her piercing gaze fixated on him.


    "Why are you so fuckin selfish? The Marshal wasn''t enough for you so you also stole my husband''s affection. You are such a slut," she said ndering him expressing her deep hatred for Zhao Xieshu.


    Wen Qinxi suddenly lost his appetite and attempted to leave. He would rather wait for the Marshal somewhere else but he was grabbed by the shoulder and forced to sit back down.


    "You haven''t eaten anything and had to feed you through the IV fluid these past couple of days. I brought you this," said Lin Yao as a group of servants delivered some dishes that were pleasing to the eye, "and don''te here next time. You can join me in the captain''s cabin."


    Prince Yao began to carefully ced food in his bowl showing a pampering side that had his servants dying in shock thinking ''what the fuck was this situation''. To make it worse his newly wedded wife was seated right opposite to them watching such an affectionate scene. Even though the prince had a ck eye which was obviously the handiwork of Zhao Xieshu he didn''t seem to care as long as he could possess this person.

 Chapter 190: Second World: The Marshal Ditches Zhao Huangzhi

    Chapter 190: Second World: The Marshal Ditches Zhao Huangzhi


    Zhao Huangzhi was about to speak up as this was too unbearable for her to watch but Wen Qinxi beat her to it yelling, "Fuck off!" before exiting the cafeteria. He decided to hang around a deserted part of the warship and patiently wait for Qie Ranzhe toe and get him. He could use his mecha to get out of here but it wouldn''t survive the journey through space back to Valim so he could only wait for now.


    After waiting for half a day, the Marshal didn''t disappoint with Dark Scourge warship making its appearance with six other warships surrounding Prince Yao''s warship. The weapons on all these warships were drawn all of them aimed at culprit which had its crew panicking attempting to establish contact.


    Sure enough a threat was soon broadcasted, its message simple and clear. "Give back what belongs to the Marshal or suffer the consequences," was Machu''s exact words. Prince Yao had somewhat anticipated this but he only thought he would''ve to deal with Dark Scourge alone. He had already sent for his army to back him up but at this moment his father called him and told him it was his mess so he should fix it.


    Whether he lives or dies that would only be decided by fate which meant he was on his own. The entire empire couldn''t afford to pay for his mistakes anymore. With that, Prince Yao''s back up was gone. In a frenzy, he began searching for Zhao Xieshu so they could escape but no matter how hard he searched, he couldn''t find him. What he didn''t know was that Zhao Xieshu had already been taken by a shadow that snuck into his warship specifically for that reason.


    Speaking of that, Wen Qinxi had snuck into the hangar looking to see if Prince Yao processed a spaceship that could withstand space and survive the journey back to Valim as he was getting a little impatient. He was suddenly pulled into a narrow crammed space by a powerful force. He had instinctively began to struggle but his every move was easily subdued by the man whose body was pressed aganist his in the dark. Just as a familiar mask-like jasmine pheromone scent reached his senses, he heard a deep charming voice say, "Baby calm down.....it''s me," before he perked Zhao Xieshu''s lips.


    Wen Qinxi wasn''t satisfied with this and brazenly nted his warm lips on Qie Ranzhe''s unrestrainly sucking and licking on those cool rosebud like lips unleashing waves of mount up passion. Qie Ranzhe couldn''t hold back anymore turning on the offense with his hand brusquely caressing his omega''s waist with a hint of urgency. Just as things were getting heated, Qie Ranzhe heard Prince Yao''s voice calling out Zhao Xieshu''s name.


    His passion suddenly flipped a switch reced by a fit a rage. He parted from his lover and like a crazed beast he went after the man who had the balls to abduct his omega. Wen Qinxi who had suddenly been left hanging dry with his member as stiff as pole was so angry but couldn''t move.


    In a swift motion, Prince Yao suddenly found himself on the ground grimacing with a gut twisting pain. Qie Ranzhe was so fast with his actions that the guards didn''t immediately realise what had just happened. All they saw was a ck shadow and then the prince was suddenly down. It''s only when they saw Qie Ranzhe towering above the prince did they respond but chaos had already descended upon the warship.


    Prince Yao had ordered his crew to fire but of course, the return fire was far greater causing the warship to suffer waves of tremors as the defense shield was being bombarded from all sides. As to why he asked them to attack, it was because he was nning on escaping so he didn''t care for the warship and the people inside it apart from Zhao Xieshu. He had caught a glimpse of the omega through the surveince feed in the hangar so he rushed in that direction to grab him and escape but who would have thought the Marshal had already snuck in.


    The guards who were already having it out with the Marshal missed the mark once more when the warship suffered a tremendous tremor as the defense shield final gave in. Qie Ranzhe took this opportunity and picked up Lin Yao by the neck instantly snapping it after saying, "I already fuckin warned you that this would happen. Who knew you would be this stupid."


    This gruesome scene was witnessed by not only Zhao Xieshu but Zhao Huangzhi who had rushed to the hangar when she found out the prince intended to leave her to die in this warship while he made his escape. Anxious, she ran over only to see the man of her dreams kill her husband with no hesitation which was surprisingly thrilling and exciting.


    "Ran-ge!" she called out as she ran over to him her eyes red rimmed as she blinked away the tears, "the warship is about toblow up. Let''s quickly get out of here. It''s toote to go find Zhao Xieshu. Hopefully he made it out since he has a mecha." With that said she pulled the Marshal by the elbow trying to lead him away but what she didn''t know was that Wen Qinxi who had been regaining his senses from the kiss had just recovered and emerged from the shadows only to hear these words.


    "Wow! Yes Marshal, go and leave your pregnant omega behind," sneered Wen Qinxi before opening the hatch in the hangar and activating his mecha. Qie Ranzhe instinctively pushed her away and summoned Dark Stallion attempting to chase after his omega and ditch this troublesome green tea bitch.


    Zhao Huangzhi''s entire heart shattered to pieces with the word pregnant echoing in her mind. Her entire world came crushing down on her like a heavy unmovable boulder making it hard to breath. "Pregnant?" she screamed out the question but the two mechas had already left. She had been abandoned left here to die with the crew.


    She couldn''t let these two be happy while she dies a miserable death so she joined Prince Yao''s guards in the spaceship andmanded them to take Prince Yao''s body before discretely escaping the warship. She intended to use her status as the crown princess of Nibiru to get her revenge. As long she was alive, Zhao Xieshu and his bastard child would not have a happy ending. If she can''t have the Marshal then no one else can.

 Chapter 191: Second World: Reap What You Sow

    Chapter 191: Second World: Reap What You Sow


    How Zhao Huangzhi managed to escape in a Nibiru spaceship could only be described as a narrow escape. The prince''s armed guards who were mourning the lose of their crown prince didn''t even bother oppose her epting hermand. Its not that they recognized her as the crown princess but as a means of revenge. Some of these men guarded Lin Yao ever since he was in diapers. They had to helplessly watch their prince die in such a gruesome way with no opportunity for them to defend him.


    In other words, they didn''t trust Zhao Huangzhi but needed her to make the Marshal pay. A life for a life was Nibiru''s motto. What they didn''t know was that they had the same idea but the subject of revenge was different. Zhao Huangzhi wanted to kill Zhao Xieshu and his child so she put up a grieving face like a sorrowful widow mourning the loss of her husband. She wore this exact face all the way to Nibiru''s mother a splendid capital though iparable to Valim.


    The entire capital gathered around as the body of their crown prince was carried out of the spaceship in a heavily guarded procession. Though the empire was in mourning in all honesty they weren''t too upset considering Lin Yao''s frivolous behavior and ck heart.


    Lin Yao had only earned that title because his mother the Empress threw a temper tantrum suppressing the more qualified alpha prince from the emperor''s first marriage. Instead of mourning she decided to instigate her husband to take revenge and med him for not sending back up but when Emperor Lin recalled the Marshal''s words he wasn''t willing to sacrifice his empire for a son he had warned dozens of times.


    "He knew what he was getting himself into," was Emperor Lin''s words and just like that the revenge ploy was squashed. But how could this little thing stop Zhao Huangzhi?


    She secretly approached the Empress and managed to manipte her into defying her husband. "Aren''t you one of them? Why would you betray your own people?" was the question the Empress asked her when Zhao Huangzhi put forth her idea.


    "His Majesty doesn''t want to start a war neither do I but your son wasn''t killed for political reasons. Rather he was killed for a vixen. Ask any of his guard if you don''t believe me. Zhao Xieshu charmed him with his looks and begged Prince Yao to take him away which is why the Marshal went so far as to kill him. Let me help you exact revenge," said Zhao Huangzhi bowing before the Empress her tone respectful but you could clearly hear the anger in her voice.


    "And what do you get in return?" asked the Empress looking at her doubtfully.


    "I want to go back home," she replied already imagining herselfforting the grief-stricken Marshal, "Kill the vixen and you will have had your revenge."


    Hearing this the Empress couldn''t resist. This way she won''t be starting a war obeying her husband''s wishes but also getting her revenge but what she didn''t know was that assassinating Zhao Xieshu was signing a death certificate for her entire empire. "Take my son''s guards but if I find out you are lying, I will bury you along with that vixen." Just like that Zhao Huangzhi''s n seeded and set off for Valim two dayster.


    Across the gxy, Valim empire was going through massive transformation. After being terrified with the prospects of war incited by their own emperor they learnt that Emperor Zhao had not only protected the criminal powerful families earning bribes under the table but also nned thete Empress Xiejie''s assassination for the Gu family property.


    It was also rumored that he used to beat up his omega son and would have killed him but because the Gu property was tied to him he couldn''t kill Zhao Xieshu.


    Though all this information was mind blowing, it wasn''t as shocking as when Prince Xieshu''s secret identity was revealed. Numerous footage of Xianxi a badass omega team operating mechas, using firearms and inventing never seen before technology were circting on Valim Network.


    This stirred up the entire empire but the parties involved weren''t bothered as they were focused on Emperor Zhao''s closed door trial. The punishment for his crimes was inevitably a public execution but Zhao Xieshu decided on a private execution for the sake of his sons.


    With the execution date set, there was one question left ringing in the Ambassadors'' and public officials'' minds which was who would be the next Emperor of Valim. Some assumed Prince Lazhie would step up and take the throne but who knew the yellow belly would directly stamp the title on Marshal Qie without a hitch. Even Prince Tiazhi didn''t want to hear the word heir. Maybe it was because theycked ambition or that they knew something everyone else didn''t.


    Even if they wanted to rece their father and be the next emperor it was entirely impossible because Zhao Xieshu wouldn''t let them. It was a good thing the two brats didn''t put up a fight. "Xie-dage is already getting married to the Marshal so why not let the Marshal take over the throne. Their offspring will have half Zhao blood in it so I don''t see a problem with it," said Zhao Lazhie standing beside Zhao Xieshu.


    Their father and mother had imnted the seed of hate within them at a young age but as they grew older they realised this hate was baseless and that Zhao Xieshu would kick their arses without even lifting a finger. He only wanted one thing that is his mother''s protection and one mecha battle with Zhao Xieshu. You could count it as a learning experience. With that in mind the Zhao alpha brothers sat back down itching for this meeting to end so they could meet Meng Huangse, Zhao Xieshu''s mecha.


    Though the two boys had relinquished their right to inherit the throne there was still a faction that had once supported Emperor Zhao that wasn''t easily epting so Wen Qinxi was left with no choice but to appeal to their greedy nature. If he didn''tdo it he was most certain that Qie Ranzhe would resort to a bloody method.


    His aim was to draw them in and after achieving his goal he nned to throw out the trash and let them follow their leader to hell. "It''s fine, you can refuse but it means the Xianore rich in my possession won''t be handed over to the empire''s treasury. It''s either the Marshal brings the with him when he takes the throne or the entire Valim empire would have no choice but to purchase Xianore from us. Which of these would be more beneficial? I will give you time to think about it," said Wen Qinxi his tone all nonchnt.


    Xianore was basically the life blood of the entire empire. Not only Valim but Nibiru as well and right now Wen Qinxi owned thergest deposits in the entire universe so how could they let this opportunity pass by. Trust me, it wasn''t for the good of Valim that these men would agree but because they could steal from the empire''s treasury.


    After ten minutes of pretending to seriously discuss the faction of Ambassadors agreed but what they didn''t know is on the day of Marshal Qie''s inauguration they would be sitting in jail cells with all their scrupulous business aired out in the open for all to see.

    With that settled the meeting ended with Marshal Qie leading Zhao Xieshu by the waist out of the main hall. Just as they reached the shadows, Qie Ranzhe drew Zhao Xieshu closer their bodies pressed together with his arm holding his lover in ce.


    "Baby, are you still mad about what Zhao Huangzhi said?" asked Qie Ranzhe with his head buried aganist Zhao Xieshu''s neck sniffling long and hard drawing in the prince''s plumeira like omega pheromone scent which was both sweet and rxing.


    Wen Qinxi actually wasn''t mad he could give a rats ass about Zhao Huangzhi but he really hated it when she ced her hand on his man. ''Who gave her the fuckin right?'' was his thought when he saw that. Ever since then he was in a bad mood which is why Qie Ranzhe asked that question. Feeling the warm breath that heated up his entire body as it grazed his skin, Wen Qinxi couldn''t help but ask, "You seriously want to do this here?"


    Qie Ranzhe''s couldn''t resist the sweet scent, he was curious to know if his omega tasted as sweet as his pheromones so he hungrily kissed Zhao Xieshu''s neck.


    "Ah.....Ran-ge stop," moaned Wen Qinxi as the sensation of Qie Ranzhe''s exhales lingered on his skin. This response only further enticed the Marshal who had been starved mainly because he ditched an aroused Zhao Xieshu in the dark the day he rescued him.


    Qie Ranzhe brazenly moved his lips towards Zhao Xieshu''s pink supple lips that seemed to be begging for it. The two began a sensual make out session with the Marshal grinding his hips aganist the prince causing the heat between their legs to amplify. Just as things were getting heated they were suddenly interrupted.


    Zhao Lazhie and Zhao Tiazhi had been looking for Zhao Xieshu so they could meet his mecha that was more technological advanced than theirs but didn''t expect to see such a scene.


    "Shit!" cursed Prince Lazhie but he couldn''t move as his legs were frozen in ce.


    The two people faced the both of them with one embarrassed and the other pissed off. He didn''t want anyone else to see his omega''s aroused state so he pulled Zhao Xieshu''s face towards his neck before asking, "What?" his eyes zing with a fiery me.


    "Umm....sooooo sorry. We.....um....we best be leaving," said a nervous Prince Tiazhi pulling his brother but Prince Lazhie was like a statue frozen stiff in fright.


    "Still not leaving?" said Qie Ranzhe his anger amplified to a whole new level. If these two stayed any longer he would surely take on the role of father and punish them with some intense military training.


    With those words, Prince Lazhie eventually snapped out of his frozen state as a flight response kicked in. You didn''t have to ask him twice. He ran so fast leaving his brother behind which basically tranted to ''you are on your fuckin own bruh''.


    "No fuckin loyalty," mumbled Prince Tiazhi before running after him.


    After terrifying the two teenagers, Qie Ranzhe impetuously carried on but Zhao Xieshu covered the Marshal''s mouth with his palm. "Don''t me them, it''s your fault," said Wen Qinxi gazing into the Marshal''s amorous eyes.


    Qie Ranzhe''s lips qurked up into a roguish smile that Wen Qinxi couldn''t see. The Marshal then proceeded to lick Zhao Xieshu''s palm in a yful yet erotic way that had Wen Qinxi all wide eyed in shock.


    "You can''t y such a game here where everyone can see," said Wen Qinxi pushing away the Marshal before walking away but judging from his pace it was more like running away.


    "So let''s go and y indoors then," said Qie Ranzhe following after his omega like a cute puppy following around its owner. Wen Qinxi didn''t answer but chose to increase his pace instead. "You are that eager to be alone in a room with me? Let me help you then," said Qie Ranzhe before grabbing his omega and hurled him over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes carrying him all the way to their pavilion.


    "AAAAHHHH!.....Ran-ge put me down," yelled Wen Qinxi feeling people''s gazes following them. "So fuckin embarrassing," he muttered but Qie Ranzhe didn''t care with a radiant smile imagining what he was going to do to his lover.


    ***


    Two days went by and the day to execute the former emperor arrived with the entire royal family present apart from Zhao Huangzhi who was presumed dead. Empress Wuzhishu was also there begging for her husband''s life ignoring her sons'' advice. They had told her not cause trouble while they helped her pack up. She could no longer stay in the pce and was forced to move back with her family. This could count as leniency considering that Wen Qinxi had a lot of evidence that she actively participated in her husband''s corrupt activities.


    But how could the former Empress see Zhao Xieshu''s kindness directly insulting him. "You unfillial son, the devil''s spawn. How can you kill your own father," she said tears streaming down her face, "what did my family do deserve this? Didn''t we ept you into our family? Even arranged a good marriage for you yet you turn around and bite the hand that fed you?" her bullshit meter dangerously leaning towards the red zone.


    Wen Qinxi couldn''t hold backughing outloud in scornfulughter. He couldn''t believe the load of crap this woman was spewing. Qie Ranzhe was angered to the point of standing up to beat this woman to silence but Wen Qinxi stopped him and said, "Wow...so beating me and alienating me was your way of eptance? Interesting.....If I were you I did watch my mouth because....," while Tong who had been standing at the end of the hall fiddled with hismunicator disying all the evidence they had aganist the former Empress, "I might rethink my decision to let you go."


    Prince Lazhie and Prince Tiazhi silently begged their mother to shut it as they were already fully aware of the sentence for the crimes their mothermitted.


    Seeing all this, she couldn''t help but keep silent swallowing all the insults at the tip of her tongue down.


    The convicted emperor Zhao wasn''t pleased with this decision and began to curse out his wife. "You ungrateful bitch. I gave you the life you wanted even killed my wife to be with you but you turn around and betray me. This fuckin hoe should die with me! Who do you think I was doing all this for? If she doesn''t die with me today then I demand my sentence be re-reviewed!" yelled the deranged emperor who had his hands tied behind his back.


    The former Empress cowered in a corner anxiously biting her lips wishing she hadn''t said anything from the beginning. She had literally bought herself a ticket that could lead to her death.


    "Tsk, tsk.....I am sorry but her kids still need her around unless she breaks thew, again, " said Wen Qinxi in a domineering tone his eyes fixed on the cowering woman.


    "She wanted me to kill your mother. It was a n purely concocted by that vile woman! We are as equally guilt-, AAAAAHHHH!.....," yelled Emperor Zhao followed by a loud thud as the emperor''s lifeless body fell to the ground. Right next to him was the trembling Prince Tiazhi who had by his own hand shot his father in the head. The entire main hall fell silent with the audience seeming thunderstruck. No one even Wen Qinxi had seen thising. Prince Tiazhi was frozen in one spot with the gun still pointed at his dead father as a tear streamed down his cheek. It was Prince Lazhie who approached his younger brother and took the gun out of his hand coaxing him.


    Prince Tiazhi obediently gave it to him but he was obviously still stuck in a stupor. Though in shock he was partially lucid as he kowtowed before Zhao Xieshu and said, "Xie-dage, on behalf of my parents I apologize to you," his forehead kissing the cold floor, "Ican''t rewrite the past but I can surely change the future as long as you give me the chance."


    Seeing his brother earnestly kneeling before their half brother, Zhao Lazhie joined him. This could be considered their sign of loyalty which Wen Qinxi epted.


    "From now on we are brothers now rise," said Wen Qinxi feeling so aplished.


    The two brothers excused themselves with Zhao Lazhie dragging his mouth out the main hall. "Mother let''s go," he said leading her to the flying car outside which was waiting to take her to her maiden home.


    Emperor Zhao was buried within an hour with no grand funeral nor customary tradition buried in amoner''s graveyard branded traitor on his headstone.

 Chapter 193: Second World: One Last Time (NSFW)

    Chapter 193: Second World: One Last Time (NSFW)


    The long awaited grand event was finally here. It was all the entire empire was talking about and news of Prince Xieshu''s pregnancy spread around like wildfire across Valim Network which was just a spection as the empire''s favorite couple hadn''t made an official announcement.


    Wen Qinxi wasn''t certain when this world would be considered conquered but he knew he was running out of time so he decided to make the best out of it. Who knows if Qie Ranzhe would have the same feeling for him in the next world as he did in this world. With that in mind he made the conscious decision to hold on to it as long as he could.


    In the past few weeks he was busy preparing for the big day paying great attention even to littlest things. He had never cared for anything as much as he cared about this wedding sh inauguration. His efforts didn''t go unnoticed with Jolie having to remind him several times that it was only a game but each time he saw Qie Ranzhe''s joyous smile it encouraged him to work harder and make this day memorable.


    Even if Qie Ranzhe didn''t remember all this when he woke at least Wen Qinxi would have this one memory. A beautiful memory that could get him through a lifetime.


    Time flew by quickly with the big day beginning as early as three in the morning. Qie Ranzhe had suggested they separate for a night so that he wouldn''t disturb Zhao Xieshu''s preparations but who would have guessed the prince would be so stubborn and refuse to part with him. To be honest, Wen Qinxi was afraid he did wake up in the dark with the message ''congrattions for sessfullypleting the second world'' without cuddly Qie Ranzhe onest time.


    The two woke up at the sound of the rm and Qie Ranzhe didn''t dwindle in bed like he usually did. He just stood up after lightly perking Zhao Xieshu''s lips saying, "Goodmorning baby."


    Wen Qinxi was still drowsy with his eyes half-lidded responding, "Mn," but as he watched Qie Ranzhe strolling away he sprung up from bed with his mind jolted awake asking, "Where are you going?"


    Qie Ranzhe was amused by this question and turned around to face him saying, "Is that meant to be a rhetorical question? Have you forgotten I have to go to my parents house and get ready?" lesuirely pacing back to the bed, "Its only for a couple of hours then you and I can spend the rest of our lives together." Thest part was said as he crawled into bed his piercing luscious gaze set on his lover like he was sampling with his eyes this appetizing meal.


    Wen Qinxi felt his body heat up in excitement as the thought of never having this kind of passion again shed in his mind. Like a phnderer, Wen Qinxi unbuttoned his pajama top exposing his smooth supple skin inviting the Marshal for some early breakfast.


    Qie Ranzhe was stunned had never seen Wen Qinxi this enthusiastic before and couldn''t help but conclude that the man was probably messing around but that conclusion was tossed out the window when Zhao Xieshu''s satin pajama fluidly slid of his arms like a gentle waterfall during the dry season.


    For once he wanted to refuse because he really had to go but how could he resist this littlemb that willinglyy itself on the alter to be sacrificed. "Xie, are you serious?" he asked moving in closer his heart pounding hard against his chest like he was about to suffer a heat stroke. His entire body especially his lower region was already on fire with a strong urge to press this man down and fuck him hard.


    Wen Qinxi didn''t respond, he guided Qie Ranzhe to lie down beneath him before lowering himself to fervently kiss the Marshal''s lips.


    Qie Ranzhe couldn''t help but groan with Zhao Xieshu''s crotch on his exponentially increasing the heat emanating from that region. Wen Qinxi was so skilled in his actions licking the Marshal''s lips before eagerly exploring the man''s mouth as though looking for something. Once he found it, he didn''t stop yfully licking Qie Ranzhe''s tongue and pte sending waves of pleasure in both men. Wen Qinxi was so excited that he began to grind against the Marshal while panting heavily with lewd sounds of pleasure escaping his throat.


    Being treated like this, Qie Ranzhe couldn''t help but gasp for air groaning while moving his waist to Zhao Xieshu''s rhythm. He was losing his mind with his arms grabbing both of the prince''s butt cheeks guiding him to grind harder.


    "Oh, fuck baby.....ohhhh," he said in a barely audible voice as his pheromones began to fill the room weakening Wen Qinxi who was grinding on top of him.


    "Ran-ge hold back your pheromones for me....ahh, I want to...oh feels so fuckin good," whispered Wen Qinxi in jagged heavy breathing. Though he didn''t get to finish his statement, Qie Ranzhe understood his meaning and held back his pheromones while stretching out his hand to the pedestal to grab the remote to switch on the extractor fan. After a few seconds, Wen Qinxi''s movements sped up again with both their bottoms stained with conspicuous wet patches.


    Qie Ranzhe was already shirtless so Wen Qinxi only had to remove the man''s bottoms followed by his own before returning back to his original position only this time he was naked with their hot skin brushing aganist each other. The Marshal swept his gaze over his lover''s tempting body towering above him and asked, "Baby, what do you n to do to me?"


    Wen Qinxi showed a flirtatious smile and said, "I am going to fuck you of course."


    With that said Wen Qinxi really inserted Qie Ranzhe''s hot rod into his pin sized hole that was seeping up a good amount of slick. He slowly swallowed the man''s entire length till it hit the entrance of his womb. Qie Ranzhe could feel the hole tighten around his member sucking him in making him groan in pleasure. "Fuck me baby," he said holding back his desire to plough deeper into his omega and make his lover scream in pleasure.


    Wen Qinxi didn''t have to be told twice as he began to move up and down with his member seeping out some pre-cum in excitement. His entire body felt a wave of numbness spreading to his brain cells causing him to cry out in pleasure, "Yeah, ah, ah.....daddy Ran....ohhh.....fuck!"


    Qie Ranzhe who had a front row sit to such a beautiful alluring scene couldn''t help but gulp cing his hands on either side of Zhao Xieshu''s waist guiding him. Zhao Xieshu''s cries drove him to insanity but even then he held back letting his omega do as he pleased.


    Wen Qinxi felt the itchy feeling in his hole and member amplify as the Marshal''s powerful weapon struck his sensitive part continuously. His toes curled up as the sexual tension reached a teau followed by rhythmic contractions as an intense pleasurable warmth spread throughout his entire body.


    He wanted to cry out in pleasure but Qie Ranzhe''s lips stopped him and kissed him to the point of suffocation with his body still convulsing in pleasure. A milky white fluid spewed on Qie Ranzhe''s abdomen as his omega climaxed. After it was all over, Wen Qinxi copsed into Qie Ranzhe''s chest. He was obviously spent but Wen Qinxi''s naughty hole hadn''t had enough with an unbearable itch building up once more.


    "I want more," he said as he began to move again with Qie Ranzhe''s hands caressing his chest,


    "Eat till you are full baby....ah, yes fuck me," replied Qie Ranzhe with his speech incoherent at thetter part of the sentence falling into a trance. It was only after Zhao Xieshu had gotten there two more times did he turn his lover over and took him from behind.


    Wen Qinxi had his butt propped up in the air as the thrusts became deeper and faster followed by loud pa pa pa sounds were their skin came into contact. He was clearly enjoying having his hole filled up but at this rate he was going to be fucked unconscious so he pled with the Marshal. "Ah!....not too hard.....we....ah.....have, have to go," said Wen Qinxi but Qie Ranzhe ignored him thrusting deeper as he leaned down to bite Zhao Xieshu''s back.


    "You are the one toin when you provoked me...ohhh shit. You taste so good," replied Qie Ranzhe with beads of sweat forming on his forehead.


    "Ah....ah I was wrong.....daddy please spare me," said Wen Qinxi in a croqutteish voice.


    "Mn," responded Qie Ranzhe as he continued to plough his lover like a mad man. Fortunately for Wen Qinxi, the Marshal was very understanding reaching his climax earlier than usual.


    Wen Qinxi could feel the man behind convulse in pleasure grasping his two butt cheeks tightly while groaning like a beast as he reached his peak. A warm fluid filled up Wen Qinxi making him feel gratified as he fell back on the bed panting.


    Qie Ranzhey right next to Zhao Xieshu ad drew him into his arms saying, "Are you satisfied?" while interlocking their fingers together. Wen Qinxi was still breathing heavily and could only nod his head in response. "But I am not. I want more.....I will surely get you tonight," speaking right by Wen Qinxi''s ear that he could feel the vibrations from Qie Ranzhe''s voice through his skin.

 Chapter 194: Second World: Bad Ending

    Chapter 194: Second World: Bad Ending


    Those words said by his lover in bed got to Wen Qinxi. He couldn''t help but blush when he thought about how he said ''I will surely get you tonight''. These were the words resonating in his mind as he prepared for the ceremony. Even as he walked down the aisle approaching his lover who was waiting for him at the alter he was busy imagining what the Marshal nned to do to him tonight.


    Wen Qinxi was too engrossed in his love bubble that he didn''t notice how beautifully dressed he was in a white premium quality suit, a silver belt with a Phoenix buckle. His cloak was embroidered with gold on both the cor and cuffs. One look and he did be mistaken for a diety transcendent from heaven with his blonde hair fluttering with the cool breeze.


    Everyone was dazzled by this sight including the Marshal who was gobsmacked watching his lover in a stupor. With the two of them standing together it was like the moon and the ocean entwined together to form a picturesque painting that couldst a thousand generations.


    Throughout the entire ceremony, all eyes were fixated on these two that no one noticed a peculiar figure lurking in the crowd. Zhao Huangzhi had managed to sneak into the pce and had to witness these two exchange beautiful vows, feed each other cake and kiss in front of the entire empire which sickened her. She was both angry and jealous believing she was that one meant to be up there with the Marshal. She wanted to attack Zhao Xieshu and scratch that vixen''s face off but she could only wait a little longer. It will soon be all worth it.


    Qie Ranzhe was soon crowned the emperor of Valim with Zhao Xieshu as his Empress. This event could only bebeled as a sess with four best men as Xianxi team members couldn''t decided among themselves who deserved the position. At the banquet, Madam Qie was excitedly rubbing Zhao Xieshu''s tummy showing off to her friends with Qie Sunxie eyeing her brother with a venomous stare as he had stolen her omega.


    Wen Qinxi actually had the system record the entire event so he could watch itter. He might not be with Qie Ranzhe in the future but he will have this to remind him of the happiest moment in his life. Wen Qinxi enjoyed himself at the banquet that was meant tost till midnight but because he was pregnant he could only leave half-way leaving Qie Ranzhe behind to tend to the guests.


    He was securely escorted to the new pavilion they would be residing in. It was bigger and much more splendid than his pavilion but it was less homey. Maybe it would take some time for him to get used to it.


    In slow strides he walked over to he balcony enjoying the gorgeous night sky that was more majestic than the night sky back in the city. This view was impable with a big sparkly moon shining high up in the sky.


    Wen Qinxi waspletely lost in thought that he didn''t realise a tall figure walk in embracing him from behind. "Hey baby," said Qie Ranzhe whispering into his ear as he buried his head in Zhao Xieshu''s neck.


    He was startled at first but rxed when he realised who it was. "Weren''t you supposed to keep the guestspany," asked Wen Qinxi removing Qie Ranzhe''s arms coiled around his waist.


    The two soon faced each other with Qie Ranzhe''s arm holding his waist in a clingy manner as though afraid he would just disappear into thin air. "I don''t care about them. The only person I care about is you so I had toe and keep youpany," replied the Marshal before biting his lower lip in a sensual manner his eyes fixed on those pink lips.


    "Do you want to continue with what we where doing this morning?" he asked Zhao Xieshu while pulling him closer to his side with his other hand lifting up the omega''s chin.


    "Do as yo-," replied Wen Qinxi in a teasing tone but he didn''t get to finish when Qie Ranzhe interjected yelling,


    "Look out!"


    The two people came tumbling to the ground as a bullet pierced the sky heading their direction. A few more bullets struck the balcony ripping through the walls with a loud thawck followed by the nking sound of shell cases falling to the ground. Wen Qinxi was so terrified with Qie Ranzhe lying on top of him shielding him from the attack.


    The pce guard quickly responded pursuing the mercenaries ending the rain of bullets on the balcony. It was only then did Qie Ranzhe raise his head calling out, "Baby....are, are you okay?"


    Wen Qinxi wanted to believe they were both okay but Qie Ranzhe''s voice was off. The Marshal''s face was red with veins protruding on his forehead his eyes red rimmed and watery, the man was obviously in pain.


    "Ran-ge!" yelled Wen Qinxi with concern written all over his face.


    Seeing his lover distressed, Qie Ranzhe couldn''t help butfort him patting his hair in a loving manner. "I am okay, don''t worry about me. As long as you are okay," he reassured Zhao Xieshu but Wen Qinxi didn''t believe him. He felt something wet seeping through his clothes and couldn''t help but stretch his hand to touch it. As soon as he saw the blood at the tip of his trembling fingers, Wen Qinxi was struck by lightning with tears filling his eyes. In this moment he had forgotten it was game because the pain he felt was real. Qie Ranzhe was hurt and it was all his fault. He was careless and didn''t protect him, he didn''t do his job.


    Wen Qinxi rolled over Qie Ranzhe''s body and began to cry out scrutinizing his body. He wanted to put pressure on the gunshot wound but he was surprised to see multiple holes on the Marshal''s chest and abdomen. "Baby, don''t....don''t cry...I am happy, happy with you," said the Marshal his out stretched hand wiping away Zhao Xieshu''s tears.


    In that moment, a group of medical staff walked in with Zhao Huangzhi among them. She hade toplete the other half of her n and pretend to be concerned for Zhao Xieshu bringing along the medical staff but didn''t expect to be met by such a scene. Instead of Zhao Xieshu it was Qie Ranzhe lying on the floor in a pool of blood with multiple gunshot wounds.


    "Ran-ge!" she cried out rushing over but Wen Qinxi immediately took out his pistol and fired with the bullet urately striking her forehead. Her lifeless body tumbled to the ground as the medical staff ran over to tend to the Marshal.


    One doctor checked Zhao Huangzhi''s pulse before lifting his head facing Zhao Xieshu while shaking his head. Wen Qinxi wore a maderous aura regretting not having killed Zhao Huangzhi from the very beginning. Ruining her life wasn''t enough, that bitch should have died a long time ago.


    Wen Qinxi only snapped out of it when Qie Ranzhe called out to him, "Xie Baby. Come," in a weak voice that could only mean one thing. Wen Qinxi had to watch the light dim in Qie Ranzhe''s eyes as the man said, "I am sorry....so sorry."


    Wen Qinxi held his hand with tears streaming down his cheeks saying, "I wille for you even if I have to start again I don''t care as along as I can hold you again."


    His words fell on the Marshal''s ears as Qie Ranzhe exhaled hisst breath. Wen Qinxi began to wail insistently only to have the scene before him disappear as his vision fell into a sea of darkness.

 Chapter 195: Third World: The CEO Terrifies Another Nerd

    Chapter 195: Third World: The CEO Terrifies Another Nerd


    Wen Qinxi couldn''t handle the heart-wrenching pain emanating from his chest spreading over his entire body. He was breaking down in sorrowful tears crying with his hazy eyes staring at his bloodstained fingers. This was the first time he had witnessed someone die let alone someone so important to him. He couldn''t clearly see his fingers in the dark but he kept staring at them in disbelief.


    The man was practically losing his mind suffocating in a sea of grief. He began to seek out some sort of relief. Yes, all he had to do was get out of the game and see Qie Ranzhe with his own two eyes. Just one look at his CEO and everything would be okay. This was the only way he could get rid of the pain and like a crazed manic he began to shout.


    "Jolie let me out!....Let me out!" he yelled his eyes as red as ember from a dying me with a tear stained face but the system didn''t answer.


    This was because something big was happening in the game room. Qie Ranzhe who has been lying still for almost four months had made sudden movements terrifying the living daylights out of Hei Bao who had been silently minding his own business.


    He had been hard at work on hisptop debugging a code for a revised software for gship when he heard someone whispering. At first, he thought it was Xia Bai and so turned to look at him asking, "Did you say something?" but Xia Bai had wireless earbuds in his ears working on hisputer with a stern expression looking like a serious schr.


    Hei Bao thought his ears were ying tricks on him so he cast the thought aside and carried on with his work but a secondter he heard the sound again this time louder. "Zhao.....Xieshu," were the muffled words he heard.


    Unwilling to disturb Xia Bai, he slowly approached the rooms with the gaming capsules in cautious steps. He was ny percent sure it was nothing but still had to take a look. He opened the white washed room with Qie Ranzhe''s still body lying in the gaming capsule. For a half a minute he stood at the door but there was no movement.


    He began tough at himself for hearing things thinking, ''Haha, Bai-ge was right. I shouldy off the energy drinks,'' and turned to leave but just as he took one step, Qie Ranzhe spoke in a whisper with his index finger twitching.


    "What the fuck," whispered Hei Bao moving a little closer in hesitant baby steps but he couldn''t hear him clearly as the words spoken by Qie Ranzhe were barely audible.


    Heart pounding fast he leaned down with his ear close to Qie Ranzhe lips as he whispered, "Boss, what did you say?"


    To his surprise, Qie Ranzhe actually responded with a tear streaming down his ear, "Zh-zhao.....Xie, Xieshu," but Hei Bao couldn''t understand a thing and moved away to get Xia Bai. Just as he turned on his heel darting towards the door, his arm was suddenly caught in a tight grip. Qie Ranzhe was surprisingly strong for a vegetable.


    His arm was grasped so tight like it would break at any moment. Panicked, Hai Bao cried out, "Bai-ge, help!" trying to pry open Qie Ranzhe''s fingers which were gripping even tighter.


    Xia Bai rushed in as soon as he heard Hei Bao''s anguished cries. He reached him in a sh only to see the CEO with his eyes shut sping onto Hei Bao''s arm that was already turning red. He calmly released each finger making sure to be careful so as not to hurt the both of them.


    Once freed, Hei Bao wheezed in pain rubbing his sore arm. "Fuck!....How is he that strong? He had me in a fuckin death grip,"ined Hei Bao ring at the culprit who was innocently lying in the game capsule as though none of this had anything to do with him.


    Xia Bai checked Hei Bao''s arm while talking to his smart assistant through his earbuds, "Lili, call Machu," issuing amand and in a few rings Machu picked up with a lot of background noise like he was in a busy restaurant.


    "Qie Ranzhe made some movement, he almost broke Bao Bao''s arm and he''s whispering Wen Qinxi''s in gam-," he exined but he was off by the good doctor.


    "Shit!.....Watch him, I am on my way!" followed by beeping sounds of a cut phone call. Machu was actually at a coffee shop talking to Qie Ranzhe''s mother when he received the news. He would have preferred to go on his own but faced by this women''s pitiful expression he had no choice but to drag her along.


    In no less that six minutes they arrived in GameX game room with the doctor conducting extensive tests while trying to get Qie Ranzhe to speak some more but the CEO was back to his original state. Machu asked the two what happened when he saw Hei Bao''s sorry figure with Xia Bai rubbing his arm.


    Hei Bao recounted what happened with Qie Ranzhe''s mother kneeling beside her son crying with mixed feelings. She was happy that there was some progress but she was also sad to see the only other person she cared about helplessly lying in bed.


    While all this was happening Jolie was silently watching, it''s not that it didn''t want to speak it''s just that something much more powerful than the system was suppressing the smart AI. It could only go back to Wen Qinxi and exin what was going on but it didn''t expect to find Wen Qinxi in such a terrible state calling out to it in angst.


    "Boss, I am here," said Jolie not sure whether it made the right decision bying here. It was sure if it had a physical form it would have been strangled by its deranged creator.


    "You are such a fuckin asshole! Now get me the fuck out of here!" yelled Wen Qinxi his expression especially taut like he would kill the system if it dared to disobey him.

 Chapter 196: Third World: Vaccum Bot In Exchange For A Kidnapee

    Chapter 196: Third World: Vum Bot In Exchange For A Kidnapee


    Jolie moved a safe distance away forgetting it was invisible and said, "Boss, I lost all my authority. Some form of virus or bug his screwing with m-."


    "You fuckin with me, aren''t you? How is that fuckin possible? Now initiate a log out sequence otherwise you will regret it," threatened Wen Qinxi in a menacing voice.


    The system felt incredibly wronged so it initiated the log off sequence and as expected a general warning sign made of a yellow triangle with an exmation mark inside popped up. "This action is currently unavable please refer to technical support to solve the problem!" was the automated message that followed after which had Wen Qinxi scratching his head.


    The system was right something was overriding the system but how could that be possible? gship was mounted withyers andyers of cybersecurity that he personally oversaw. He had the best hackers crack into it and personally fixed the gaming system''s vulnerabilities so what was this situation?


    Now he and the system were stuck with neither the authority to go back to the second world nor initiate amunication channel tomunicate with the outside world. Defeated, Wen Qinxi sat cross legged on the floor wiping away the tears with the back of his hand sniffling away like an abandoned preschool child.


    Seeing this the system couldn''t help butfort him. "Boss you don''t have to worry. It will all fix itself," pretending to pat his head infort.


    Wen Qinxi didn''t say anything for a while staring at his fingers with an absent look. The images of Qie Ranzhe dying in his arms reyed in his mind bringing back a flood of tears. "If he dies in a world will it affect his consciousness?" he suddenly asked wiping away his tears once more.


    "I don''t think so but that reminds me, he spoke and even moved in the gaming room. Machu is actually examining him right now. You should see how tight he grasped Hei Bao''s arm. He was like iron ma-," said the system but again it was interrupted, its boss erupting like a volcano under massive pressure.


    "Why the fuck didn''t you say that in the first ce! If I don''t demote you after this then my name is not Wen Qinxi. Such a fuckin prick," yelled Wen Qinxi but didn''t expect the system to talk back.


    "I wonder who I got that from," whispered the system but in the quiet dark abyss, Wen Qinxi''s other senses were heightened so he heard it.


    "You dare to talk back! Oh, you are so dead...vum bot, remember that. You are going to be a.....," with thest of his sentence stuck at the tip of his tongue as he was suddenly pulled into an unfamiliar world, "vum bot."


    By the time he finished his sentence he was already in a foreign body sitting in front of a control panel that resembled that of a nuclear power n with a big screen showing several leaders who were staring at him in disbelief.


    Wen Qinxi had his brows knitted together trying to grasp his bearings when a system notification popped up. ''Congrattions for seeding the second world_.....Wee to the third world_''


    The man was still trying to figure out what just happened. Why wasn''t he back to the second world? Multiple unanswered questions had his mind spinning but before he could even figure out what was happening he heard sounds ofughtering from behind him. He turned his head only to find a giant looking woman and some men snickering while pointing at him.


    "Excuse me? Did you just say you want to exchange Commader Zhao for a vum bot?" said a man wearing a green military uniform staring at him with a perplexed expression. Wen Qinxi was confused but he recalled the words he spoke when he reached this world.


    He had toe up with a way to fix this situation but what could he do? He didn''t even know his own name in this world. He was walking blind not sure how to proceed. Just when he was about to say something, he saw Qie Ranzhe appearing on another camera feed joining a woman dressed in white. His face didn''t seem pleased to see him with a clenched jaw as though holding back some emotion but Wen Qinxi didn''t care saying, "I will trade themander if I can have five minutes with you."


    Wen Qinxi said this pointing at Qie Ranzhe, he was just too excited to see him and wanted to hug him that he didn''t read much into the situation. But the person behind him didn''t seem pleased sending a message to his phone.


    Airen-jie: What are you doing? I thought you wanted to keep themader?


    But Wen Qinxi didn''t respond saying, "Yes, I will give him to you as long as you agree to meet up with me," he continued but which surprised Qie Ranzhe but he did a good job hiding it with his face remaining expressionless.


    "Fine, send the details. Make sure to bring her along otherwise.....," replied Qie Ranzhe before turning his heel to leave with his group of minions dressed in ck suits like penguins. Because the pronunciation of him and her were the same Wen Qinxi didn''t realise they were speaking of different genders.


    Wen Qinxi assumed themander was a he but themander was actually a she, the she he shot in the previous world. He was yet to realise that but for now he was as blind as bat excited to meet Qie Ranzhe.


    The screens turned ck signifying the end of the conference call and so Wen Qinxi turned to the people behind him who seemed to be holding back theirughter but the woman known as Airen wasn''tughing scrutinizing him.


    "Vum bot...hahahaha boss you are so fuckin funny," said one man pping his thigh inughter. The rest of the groupughed along with him seeming amused but Airen suddenly took out a gun from who knows where and shot up in the air followed by a loud bang with debris from the ceiling following on the men.


    "Fuck off!" she said terrifying the men into silence. They left the room with their tails in between their legs like terrified dogs that had just met an alpha. As soon as they left she affectionately pat his head and said, "Are you certain you want to let her go? This is the only opportunity you have to capture her heart."


    Wen Qinxi, "....."

 Chapter 197: Third world: Theyre Dating

    Chapter 197: Third world: They''re Dating


    Wen Qinxi can be counted as a genius in his field but he had never been this confused in his entire life. In just a short span of time he had gone through a rollercoaster of emotions and subjected to so much stimtion that left him in a haze.


    He had gone through the pain of watching someone he loved die, he had also killed Zhao Huangzhi only to be in an entirely different world thirty minutester with Zhao Huangzhi alive and well. It would be safe to say he was emotionally unstable.


    Once he had the giant beautiful goddess standing in front of him mention Zhao Huangzhi, hepletely lost it and abruptly stood up asking, "Where is she?"


    Airen seemed confused by his question but didn''t investigate it further saying, "She''s in the most luxurious suite. I did as you said but Xiao-didi what''s wrong? Why the sudden change in heart?"


    She was saying all this but Wen Qinxi wasn''t listening marching out of the room while saying, "Lead the way." All he could think of was he had to kill Zhao Huangzhi. He wasn''t going to repeat the same mistake from previous world and cut the saplings before it grew roots. He was resolute in his decision with a murderous aura surrounding him but the system began to panic trying to change his mind.


    ''Boss you can''t do that. If you do that you won''t be able to pass this world that is if Qie Ranzhe doesn''t kill you first," said the system trying to speak fast.


    This had Wen Qinxi halt in his footsteps trembling in anger tightly clenching his fist. ''Why?'' he asked in a hesitant tone uncertain if he wanted to know the answer.


    ''They....they''re dating,'' said the system fairly aware of the consequences.


    Wen Qinxi felt like he had been struck by lightning with his chest tightening followed by a piercing pain like someone had stabbed his heart with a knife. How could he be this unlucky? How was he supposed to survive this world? He felt both pain and jealousy but for some reason this body amplified the pain to such a point that he swung his fist into the wall living a big dent. This method of handling emotional pain by distracting oneself with physical pain was not a foreign concept for Wen Qinxi but he the King of algophobes would never do such a thing.


    He could feel the pain but for some reason he kept a straight face like this body was used to it. ''Boss, are you okay? Don''t go to her first let me give you the game files,'' said the system crossing its fingers.


    Wen Qinxi agreed asking Airen to take him to his room and as soon as she left he sat at the edge of the bed staring nkly at his trembling hand that was bruised at the knuckles.


    "Just when I thought things couldn''t get any worse. Hahaha...wow so fuckin messed up," he said his eyes already misty with tears. This kind of madughter made the system cringe as it finally regained its authority and shared the game files.


    "Here just read these then we can figure out a n, okay?" said the system that didn''t know how to deal with such a situation.


    Wen Qinxi rubbed his face in frustration before pushing back his hair to read this world''s scenario.


    Over half a century ago earth was struck by a meteorite the size of a pyramid but this meteorite wasn''t just a regr piece of rock. It contained biological material that dispersed when the meteorite exploded killing people within 11, 875 square kilometers (4585 square miles) radius reducing an entire city to ash.


    The biological material spread globally infecting everyone with a small poption dying while the rest mutated into beastkins with the ability to transform into an animal form ording to their mutation. To prevent the poption from going feral and losing all their sense of rationality a drug was invented to solve the problem and for a person to maintain their human form special energy stones were carved in the shape of the animal a person transforms to somewhat restoring normalcy.


    This though wasn''t the only problem. The was dying because of the foreign substance tainting the atmosphere and various countries that had survived the cmity when the meteorite struck scrambled for a solution. It took a genius but mostly mad scientist to stabilise the atmosphere by building a Geostation on earth''s highest peak above sea level with a forged crystal extracted from remains of the meteorite to stabilise the atmosphere and keep earth from bing an inhabitable.


    For thirty five years the and its people adapted to the new way of life that is until the now dismissed mad scientist stole the crystal. How did he do it? It all began when Qie Ranzhe the son of President Qie the leader of the newly United earth met Feng Zi a presumably orphaned kid at school. These two hit it off and became bestfriends. This friendship could be best described as sworn brothers that is until high school when the unbreakable friendship began to form cracks because these two fell in love with the same girl, Zhao Huangzhi.


    The two friends began topete with each other for her but Zhao Huangzhi decided to y blind leaving behind a hazy boundary which meant these two would foolishly do anything to please her while straining their friendship. This endless battle carried on till senior year of high school when Feng Zi got Qie Ranzhe drunk and acquired secure codes for the Geostation which he gave to his estranged father Feng Yu aka mad scientist to steal the very same crystal holding earth''s atmosphere together.


    That day Feng Zi disappeared from Qie Ranzhe''s life but that wasn''t the issue. The problem was that President Qie med Qie Ranzhe for being careless and dooming the entire world. Determined to right his wrongs he upped in ranks in the military searching for Feng Zi and Feng Yu to get back the crystal. The end result was that he killed Feng Zi in rage and didn''t manage to retrieve the crystal from Feng Yu. As the world crumbled its citizens asked for someone to be punished for this and to appease the people, President Qie publicly executed his son which was pointless because the atmosphere still deteriorated killing everyone.


    From this piece of information, Wen Qinxi could already tell which character he was as the memories of Feng Zi flooded his memory. This exined why he had kidnapped Zhao Huangzhi intending to imprison her. The little psycho Feng Zi was trying to win that vile women''s heart. Oh, yes Feng Zi was as crazy as his father. He was a bonafide psychopath which was part of his skill set.


    "Ai....this world isn''t going to easy Boss. Oh, by the way don''t be surprised if you do certain things without thinking i-,"


    "Like what?" asked Wen Qinxi interrupting the system. The universe seemed to be punishing him for having the time of his life in the second world. This world was off to a bad start.


    "Well, like punching walls, threatening people with a gun on impulse or killing people at ease. It''s.....um.....a character setting," said the nervous Jolie, "You are going to offend a few people in this world so be careful."


    "Haven''t I offended everyone already?" he said with a sarcastic tone.


    "Fair point.....wait where are you going?" asked the system as soon as Wen Qinxi stood up heading towards the door. This character was more to the extreme end of the scale whenpared with Lin Jingxie and Zhao Xieshu.

 Chapter 198: Third World: Love Rivals

    Chapter 198: Third World: Love Rivals


    Feng Zi was short inparison with his right arm covered with a magnificent sleeve tattoo of a phoenix. This was the beast he normally would transform into but because someone burnt off part of his feathers with dragon mes, Feng Zi could barely maintain his transformed state let alone fly. That person could only be Qie Ranzhe who literally burnt him out of the sky while pursuing him in the past.


    His tattoo wasn''t the only outstanding thing about Feng Zi but his maroon undercut man bun that could turn head every where he went. Though he was an infamous underground Boss, he had numerous fans sharing his pictures on Weibo. The only downside was that he was short for a man standing at 1.68m, even Airen was taller than him at a height of 1.85m. Well, she was an exception because the woman was born a giant and Wen Qinxi could clearly see the difference as soon as he stepped out of the room.


    To speak to Airen, he had to lift his head which was demoralising but sadly he couldn''t do anything about it. Speaking of Airen, she was Feng Zi''s loyal henchwoman after she was saved from a fatal disease by Feng Yu when she was in the army. She then pledged her loyalty to Feng Yu and his son but ever since Feng Yu went missing she has stayed by Feng Zi''s side. All Feng Zi had to tell her was point and shoot, the woman wouldn''t even ask question just shooting to Feng Zi''s satisfaction. Her history as an assassin made her the most feared person right after Feng Zi in the underground world.


    "Take me to her," said Wen Qinxi rubbing his sore knuckle from punching the wall earlier.


    "You want me to take care of it?" she asked as they made their way down the corridor towards thest door at the end of the hall.


    "Later just arrange a meeting with Qie Ranzhe so he can pick her up," he said as they reached the door.


    "Don''t you want me to go in with you?" asked Airen with genuine concern in her eyes. She couldn''t understand what had gotten into Feng Zi''s mind. The man had been head of heels fawning over Zhao Huangzhi for as long as she can remember. Even to acquire Zhao Huangzhi this time, Feng Zi had almost lost his life only to hand her over just like that. Not that she wasining, Zhao Huangzhi was a green tea bitch who led her Boss astray and Airen could only be pleased to see Feng Zi finally let go of his obsession with her. The only thing that worried her was how sudden it was.


    "I am fine just get Qie Ranzhe to meet me," he said before entering the bedroom were Zhao Huangzhi was being kept. For a captive, she seemed to have the best view in the entire mansion in avish grand first ss bedroom.


    To be frank, Feng Zi treated her like a spoilt princess and from the game files it seemed for the past two weeks he was running around ving for Zhao Huangzhi granting her every request pampering her without asking anything in return except she couldn''t leave.


    Granted Feng Zi was wrong for kidnapping her but the kidnapee indulged him treating this as a vacation. Wen Qinxi had to offload this hot potato as soon as possible. "You can leave. Within four hours I will take you back to the General," he said casually pulling up a chair to seat opposite her.


    Zhao Huangzhi''s scarlet lips quirked up into a smile and said, "Giving up already?" whilezily folding her arms across her chest, "I told you already you aren''t as good as the General. I am d you finally know your ce."


    Wen Qinxi let out a light chuckle and counterattacked, "You are right but I am also wondering what the fuck I was thinking falling for a woman like you. To be honest, you really don''t deserve to be with Ran-ge. To put it bluntly, you aren''t qualified," These words left a bitter taste in his mouth with a sour feeling stuck in his throat which wasn''t an issue as he could manage it but an uncontroble crazed feeling was wailing up within him. It was as though if he doesn''t act on it, it would tear him apart.


    As Wen Qinxi struggled with his own sanity Zhao Huangzhi was adding fuel to the fire. "Who gave you the fuckin right to call him that. Feng Zi you better watch your fuckin mouth. I know it hurts losing to such a powerful man but I have to make it clear to you today otherwise you will keep building castles in the air. I love Qie Ranzhe and Qie Ranzhe love me so back the fuck off!"


    ''Oh now she has done it.....boss calm down, don''t, don''t,'' said the system trying to cool off Wen Qinxi''s jets but it was futile as Wen Qinxi stood up and pulled out a gold ted glock 19x with a skull on its handle pointing it at Zhao Huangzhi with his finger on the trigger.


    This took Zhao Huangzhi by surprise with her face turning ashen pale. She didn''t expect the obedient man who was running around like a loyal puppy to suddenly grow a spine and even dared to threat her. From this angle she could tell Feng Zi wasn''t joking with every hair in her body raised on end. She couldn''t help but wonder if Feng Zi was pulling the ''if l can''t have you then no one else can'' stunt.


    "Do you believe I will kill you right now?" asked Wen Qinxi with bloodshot eyes and a sinister smile on his face.


    Zhao Huangzhi was terrified but she was an armymander after all. She wiped the fear off her face and said, "Of course, you won''t. You are a fuckin coward."


    Wen Qinxi withdrew his weapon as he chuckled in an eerie manner, the kind of chuckle associated with creepy clowns in a fun house. In an instant his chuckle died down and with a stiff smile he said, "Not a coward. Just remember the only reason I kept you alive is because of Ran-ge. If it wasn''t for him I would have fed your lifeless corpse to my dogs." Wen Qinxi wasn''t lying, Feng Zi actually had vicious dogs guarding the property. The type of dogs that wouldn''t mind eating human flesh.


    After saying this he left the room mainly because he was mortified by this character that literally had psychopath as a skill set. He could no longer guarantee Zhao Huangzhi''s safety as it took massive will power not to pull the trigger at that moment. He had to figure out a way to keep himself in check otherwise things won''t end well.


    While Wen Qinxi was mulling over how to keep the beast within in check, Zhao Huangzhi was plotting against him. The man dared to point his gun at her, naturally his deeds couldn''t go unpunished so she decided on a devious n. She began to hit her body against the furniture to create fresh bruises all over her body. Her intention was to frame Feng Zi of assaulting and almost raping her.


    These bruises would serve as evidence. Why she chose this method it was because it would touch Qie Ranzhe''s soft spot as he lost his mother through such a violent attack. This would trigger Qie Ranzhe into dealing a harsh punishment towards Feng Zi. To her, having Feng Zi''s feather burnt off wasn''t enough, the man should have been left bald and unable to transform back into his human form. That would teach him not to fuck with her.


    Satisfied by her piece of art, shey down in bed eating exotic fruits waiting for the second act of her n.

 Chapter 199: Third World: Bald Chicken

    Chapter 199: Third World: Bald Chicken


    Wen Qinxi didn''t include a lot of people in his party. It was only him, the driver, Airen and of course, Zhao Huangzhi. Reason being he didn''t want to appear hostile. There was a lot of bad blood between him and Qie Ranzhe and based on the game files the two were like mentos and soda exploding each time they met leaving a mess each time. Well, mentos and soda is actually an understatement, TNT would be a better description exploding like dynamite each time they met wreaking havoc towards the environment.


    To get close to Qie Ranzhe once more he decided to wave the white g and dere a truce so with his small squad he hopped into an armoured jeep and left thepound. While driving along, he could clearly see this world was dying with vast dry desert like patches in an area that used to be a rainforest. The sun uv index was too high that Wen Qinxi couldn''t help but put on aviator sunsses which inevitably enhanced his features that the driver couldn''t help but nce over.


    Even Zhao Huangzhi had to admit this psychopath was extremely good looking as she watched him fixing his pheonix pendant hung around his neck but she would never say it aloud. "Pheonix? Humph, more like a bald chicken," she snorted coldly qurking up a corner of her lip looking away.


    Wen Qinxi didn''t say anything but instead passed over a handgun to Airen who was sitting next to Zhao Huangzhi in the back seat. Airen took the handgun in tacit understanding and press checked the gun with a devastatingly lethal aura that made Zhao Huangzhi''s blood run cold.


    In the next second, Zhao Huangzhi had the cold steel of the nozzle right on her thigh with Airen''s itchy finger on the trigger. She had watched Feng Zi run around like puppet to please this bitch and wanted to kill her on the spot but couldn''t as it would break her boss''s heart but now that Feng Zi didn''t give a fuck there was no need for courtesy.


    "You wanna fuckin repeat what you said?" asked Airen while slowing moving the gun towards her crotch. Zhao Huangzhi felt beads of sweat running down her back flinching backwards. To be frank, she was more terrified of this female assassin and didn''t want to cross paths with her as she knew she would lose the fight. She only dared to be brazen because Feng Zi let her run her mouth like a headless chicken with no consequences and no matter how much she insulted him, he wouldn''t fight back even coaxing her.


    But now things were different, the handsome man sitting in the passenger seat while casually sucking on a piece of butterscotch candy didn''t seem to care. "Airen, don''t damage the General''s goods too much. We are trying to make peace not start a war," said Wen Qinxi while passing some candy over to Airen who was ring at Zhao Huangzhi with crazed eyes her finger slightly pressing down on the trigger.


    She epted the candy saying, "Sure," before turning the gun around and smacked Zhao Huangzhi with the grip of the weapon. To appease her anger she opened up the butterscotch candy but the sweet milky taste didn''t do much. She wanted to burn a whole into that bitch''s crotch but had to obey her Boss.


    Zhao Huangzhi''s body fell to the side as a cold shiver ran through her body. Trembling, she touched her cheek only to have her fingers stained with blood. She vowed to have these two pay for ruining her face and she followed through with her promise when they arrived at the meeting point.


    As promised, Qie Ranzhe came alonenguidly leaning against a ck SUV with tinted windows. One nce you could tell it was bullet proof, a perfect fit for such a situation. Wen Qinxi got out the car with Airen bringing out Zhao Huangzhi.


    Wen Qinxi took the hostage by the elbow and signalled Airen to leave. Though hesitant she could onlyply and drove off with the driver. She didn''t know what Feng Zi was nning and could only wait for his call.


    The three people watched as the jeep sped away leaving behind a cloud of dust it was only after the car was a considerable distance did Qie Ranzhe speak. "What do you want to talk about?" he asked with an expressionless face concealing his anger.


    Wen Qinxi was mesmerised staring Qie Ranzhe up and down. The man looked extremely handsome in his ck slim fit jeans, ck v-neck tshirt and greenmiltary jacket. His golden tan skin from staying in the sun for too long had Wen Qinxi curious. It took so much self restraint not to strip the General down to take a look.


    Qie Ranzhe furrowed his brows being stared at like this which sent goosebumps all over his body. He was about to say something but Wen Qinxi realised he was drooling so he stopped and pushed Zhao Huangzhi over with a nervousugh. He showed Qie Ranzhe he was unarmed with a look in his eyes that could either be described as admiration or infatuation.


    The general grabbed hold of Zhao Huangzhi who immediately embraced her boyfriend expressing her grievances. Seeing them hug like this Wen Qinxi was extremely jealous feeling like had just been forced to wear a green hat. He had too look away otherwise there was no telling what that psycho setting in his body will do. Looking away, he deeply inhaled and exhaled doing some breathing exercises.


    "Calm down, calm down, calm down. Phew...calm the fuck down," he whispered to himself rubbing his sweaty palms with a stringing pain in his eyes.


    "Feng Zi," said Qie Ranzhe gritting his teeth with the atmosphere turning hostile but Wen Qinxi failed to read the situation thinking Qie Ranzhe was ready to talk.


    Five minutes was all Wen Qinxi had so he put on a stiff smile and turned around bracing himself to endure this intimate couple but the second he turned around he was faced by Qie Ranzhe''s murderous gaze as a burning excruciating pain pierced through his abdomen.


    "What the fuck!" yelled Wen Qinxi his red-rimmed eyes fixated on the man who had gunned him down like a dog in the street. Quivering in pain, Wen Qinxi looked down at the gushing wound. Mind nk he touched the gunshot wound only to have his hands stained with blood.


    ''Boss are you okay?....I lowered the pain index...why would he do this.....boss! Wen Qinxi!'' said thepanicked system that didn''t see thising. From the story it knew Feng Zi died by Qie Ranzhe''s hand but that was far off in the future so why did it happen now? What they both didn''t know was that Zhao Huangzhi had manipted the both of them dragging Wen Qinxi name through the mad iming an attempt rape.


    Even Qie Ranzhe couldn''t believe he actually shot Feng Zi. This man was the key to finding Feng Yu and retrieve the crystal but in a moment of carelessness, he shot him.

 Chapter 200: Third World: Vile Couple From Hell

    Chapter 200: Third World: Vile Couple From Hell


    Qie Ranzhe holstered his weapon while calling for backup but when he made a move to approach Feng Zi, Zhao Huangzhi held on to his arm biting her lower lip looking so pitiful. In her heart she was happy jumping with joy. The result was much better than expected. She sincerely hoped this bald chicken would die today that is why she put on a pitiable expression begging Qie Ranzhe with her watery eyes seeming like a traumatized victim.


    "I have to," he said gently removing her arm before walking over to Feng Zi who was grimacing in pain on the ground but the moment he reached him, Feng Zi crawled backwards with tears streaming down his cheeks.


    ''What the fuck? Is he actually crying,'' thought Qie Ranzhe scowling at the fearful man on the ground. Qie Ranzhe had blown up his base, shot at each other in the past and even went as far as burnt his feathers but the man never cried neither did he look at him like he was beast ascended from hell.


    Wen Qinxi was in pain not only physically but emotionally. It felt like his heart was ripped out of his chest and crushed to pieces by the person he loved. He struggled to stand up and staggered away trying to create some distance between them but he didn''t go far as he came crashing down to the ground before cking out in a pool of blood.


    It took three days for Wen Qinxi to finally wake up. These three days were spend watching tragic series in his mind while cursing out Qie Ranzhe to high heaven. He couldn''t believe he actually cried for that asshole when he got shot in the second world only to get shot by him in the third world. Three days wasn''t enough, in fact he wanted to log out and climb up Mount Everest''s highest summit and scream his lungs out but couldn''t as this was a crucial point for the CEO.


    Wen Qinxi slowly open his eyes with his pupils painfully constricting as a bright light shone down on him. After five minutes of recalibrating his vision, he found himself in a sick bay with his wrist chained to the bed. He immediately began to panic as he swore, "Shit!" while tugging at the chain but he only aggravated his wound making him grimace in pain.


    ''Jolie, where am I?'' he asked the system looking around for anything he could use to break the chain.


    ''Um...you are at one of the small army bases. Qie Ranzhe brought you here,'' replied the system that had been incredibly silent these past three days obediently doing as asked as it didn''t want to aggravate an already unstable Wen Qinxi.


    ''I need to get out here and search for Feng Yu and get the crystal. I can''t deal with Qie Ranzhe right now, I don''t even want to fuckin see him,'' said Wen Qinxi still looking around in a dazepletely unaware that he was being watched.


    In the control room, two recruits were staring at the monitor curiously scrutinizing the so-called world''s most dangerous man. "I must say he doesn''t look the least bit intimidating. I think his cruel image is over exaggerated," said the male recruit zooming in on Feng Zi''s face.


    The female recruit blushed a little when the camera zoomed in on Feng Zi''s handsome face. She couldn''t take her eyes way from this unattainable male god. "He''s so handsome. I heard that he likes themander that''s why he kidnapped her. Gosh, why didn''t he just kidnap me? I wouldn''t mind being his prisoner, " said the female recruit reaching out to carass the man''s face through the screen.


    While she said this, the door was suddenly opened with Qie Ranzhe walking to hear such a statement. He had juste from being berated by his father in front of several leaders in a conference call and he wasn''t in a pleasant mood. His mood dampened further when he heard the female recruit''s words. How can a woman be willing to be captured and assaulted just because Feng Zi was handsome? It didn''t make sense to him.


    These past few days he had tofort Zhao Huangzhi and stabilise her from the traumatic experience yet someone actually desired to be in her shoes. "Recruit, don''t speak such careless words," he said with the two recruits standing up to salute him.


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t bother with them watching Feng Zi through the monitor wondering how he was going to get him to talk but what happened next was not to his expectation.


    Wen Qinxi had been frantically scanningaround the room looking for anything to loosen his restraints when the system couldn''t help but mention. ''Boss you already have something that can pick the handcuffs but...it''s....um....uh,'' said the hesitant system.


    ''Just say it,'' said Wen Qinxi running out of patience. He had to get away from the vile couple from hell otherwise hewould either die by their hand or choke out of jealousy. He didn''t n on dying from poisoning by consuming too much vinegar.


    ''Its inside your wrist, see that scar?'' asked the system. The lunatic Feng Zi actually hid a bobby pin under his skin. It was pointless to put it in his hair as they searched that too but they didn''t xray criminals as none of them expected someone to stitch something under their skin.


    ''Are you fuckin serious?'' asked a distressed Wen Qinxi while staring at the scar.


    ''Yep, you have to bite yourself and tear the skin,'' said the system curious to know whether Wen Qinxi would actually do it.


    Wen Qinxi felt his scalp go numb with beads of cold sweat forming on his forehead. He, the guy who feared paim was shot and now had to bite himself just to set himself free.


    After hesitating a couple of times, Wen Qinxi finally made up his mind swearing out loud, "I fuckin hate him right now," and nibbled on his skin a couple of times. Frustrated he decided to bite the bullet and used his canines to tear through the skin. Blood began to trickle down with his eyes stringing because of the pain but it was all worth it as he found what he was looking for.

 Chapter 201: Third World: Feng Zis Cute Tooshie

    Chapter 201: Third World: Feng Zi''s Cute Tooshie


    "What the hell?" yelled the recruit as they watched the man bite through his skin.


    "Shit!" swore Qie Ranzhe when he realised what was about to happen, "Send the guards in." He immediately ran out of the surveince room darting towards the sick bay but just as he turned the corner, he bumped into Zhao Huangzhi who coincidentally came looking for him to have lunch.


    "General Qie, where youing to look for me? Let''s go I made an appointment at your favorite restaurant," she said with her palm pressing against his chest to stop him. He suddenly felt irritated, he had agreed to try dating but Zhao Huangzhi was too high maintenance and wouldn''t back down till she got what she wanted. This time he couldn''t tolerate her as he couldn''t afford to lose Feng Zi.


    "I can''t right now. Feng Zi is trying to escape," he said gently pushing her aside but who knew Zhao Huangzhi would refuse to move out of the way blocking his path.


    "There is over ten men guarding him. They are more than capable to handle him," she said her tone sounding as though she had just been bullied. Qie Ranzhe was about to respond when the rm began to sound all over the entire base. A group of armed guard passed by saluting them in the corridor before rushing towards the sick bay to hunt Feng Zi down.


    While trouble was brewing in the happy couple''s paradise. Wen Qinxi had just single handedly taken down four men after freeing himself. He was now running down the passageway with a gun in hand while following the system''s guidance. But that wasn''t the highlight of this action scene taken straight from a blockbuster movie. It was the open back hospital gown parading his tooshie or in a more vulgar term, his ass.


    ''Why the fuck did I have to wear such a vulgar thing? I can feel the cold air going up my butt crack,''ined Wen Qinxi trying to cover up his shame.


    ''Shhh....stopining someone ising,'' said the system struggling to hold back itsughter.


    Wen Qinxi had to change out of this things as he was ufortably showcasing his butt to the entire base so he knocked out the iing soldier and dragged them into the supply closet.


    It was only then did he realise it was a female soldier furtherplicating the situation. What was he supposed to do? Wait for a male soldier to pass by so he could knock them out? How long would that take? What if she woke up before he could find a male soldier?


    Running out of options, he wanted to take her clothes as they were almost the same height but couldn''t bring himself to strip an unconscious woman.


    ''Fuck! If I steal her clothes does that mean I am a pervert?'' he asked nervously pacing up and down.


    The system facepalmed itself and scolded him, ''They are hunting you down and you care about that. Just look away and steal her clothes before they find you. Unless you wish to escape with your privates hanging out for all to see?"


    Wen Qinxi sighed and looked away while undressing the female soldier with his sweaty palms. ''Don''t you fuckin dare tell anyone about this,'' he said his face beet red with embarrassment.


    ''I...can''t promise that,'' said the system finding this situationughable.


    ''Such an asshole,'' said Wen Qinxi putting on the pants that seemed a little tight on the hips. Looking away he covered thedy with his hospital gown muttering, "I am sorry," after putting on the jacket.


    ''Haha, I say how are your balls?'' asked the system unable to take its eyes off Wen Qinxi''s tight crotch.


    Wen Qinxi felt his ancestral line being squeezed out of existence with each step he took which made him quite irritable. ''Piss off!'' he said but couldn''t hear the system''sughter when a shriek flooded his ears. The female solider had just regain consciousness and began to scream her lungs out before grabbing a pack of eighteen two ply tissues and began to whack him with it.


    "Ma''am, ma''am please calm down....uh shit.....," he said protecting his head from the surprisingly painful brick of tissues. Wen Qinxi wanted to strong arm her to stop her irritating shrieks but who would have thought the hospital gown would fall off leaving her in her underwear and bra.


    "Crap!" said Wen Qinxi not knowing where to go.


    ''Use the vent!....hahaha use the vent,'' said the system having the time of its life. Wen Qinxi quickly climbed the shelves while the woman was making a poor attempt to cover herself up screaming, "Pervert! Help! Pervert!"


    Wen Qinxi began to crawl through the vents struggling to calm himself down which proved difficult as the system didn''t restrain itselfughing itself to tears. "I am d you are having a good time at my expense," he said gritting his teeth in anger.


    "Sorry.....hahahaha...it''s just too fuckin funny.....hahaha turn left hahaha," said the system in wheezingughter.


    Wen Qinxi reached the end of the vent and ruthlessly kicked the screen venting out his anger before emerging out of the buildingnding in recyble waste. Hepletely ignored the system hiding away from the soilders rushing around the base looking for him.


    It didn''t take him long to find the vehicles including Qie Ranzhe''s ck suv. Filled with vengeance he sneakily punctured Qie Ranzhe''s tyre with a screwdriver he found on a workbench. "Take that you fuckin asshole," he whispered stabbing into the tyre with so much force imagining himself stabbing Qie Ranzhe''s thigh, "that will teach not to fuck with me."


    After venting out some more on a tyre, he punctured every other car''s except the one he was going to drive away in. ''Did you have to wreak the tyre to that point?'' asked the system feeling for the poor tyre on the ck suv. There was no way that tyre was going to be patched up.


    ''I was imagining Qie Ranzhe''s face while I was doing it,'' he said before sneaking into the only vehicle that had all four tyres working. He immediately started the engine drawing attention to himself and stepped on the elerator heading for the closed gates. Two guards manding their post at the fence gate began to fire their weapons yelling for him to halt but Wen Qinxi wasn''t messing around pressing hard on the elerator while slightly ducking his head.


    Most of the soldiers and been inside the building searching for him but once they heard themotion outside with bullets flying all over the ce they immediately ran outside heading for their vehicles. Qie Ranzhe was among them and as soon as he spotted Feng Zi who was driving past him, he aimed his weapon but couldn''t bring himself to shoot.


    Why couldn''t he shoot the tyres or something it was because he was dumbstruck. Feng Zi actually stick his tongue out while raising a middle finger at him before changing gears. For some reason Qie Ranzhe smirked his blood rushing as though he had been injected with chicken blood thinking, ''Let the games begin,'' as the vehicles crashed into the fence gate speeding off base.


    If Feng Zi wanted to y a cat and mouse game with him then he would dly oblige. He dashed towards his suv only to find his tyre shredded beyond recognition. "Fuck!" he swore kicking the tyre which was of no use because Feng Zi now had a head start.


    Qie Ranzhe barked out orders to get the vehicles running before marching to the surveince room thinking he had missed something but he soon regretted his decision when he found a group of female recruits staring at the monitor while giggling like little schoolgirls.


    "I must say, Zi-ge has a cute tight ass," said one of the blushing girls which was followed by timid giggles from the rest of the group.


    "Shamless!" yelled Qie Ranzhe before mming the door with a loud bang.

 Chapter 202: Third world: Baby Dragon

    Chapter 202: Third world: Baby Dragon


    Wen Qinxi didn''t actually think he would directly jump out of the frying pan and into the fire as the stolen armoured jeep ran out of fuel leaving him stranded in a hot barrennd. To be frank, if the frying pan had the couple from hell then he would rather stew in fire. To him this harsh situation was much morefortable than dealing with Qie Ranzhe.


    At least he managed to find a military uniform for men in one of the duffle bags at the back. He also found some water and dried food making this predicament more bearable. This meant he could survive till he caught wind of the nearest town. Just like that Wen Qinxi tracked across the desert with the system acting as his GPS and source of entertainment. It was bearable for the first four days but after experiencing the zing heat during the day and harsh cold nights, Wen Qinxi had finally reached his limit.


    "Are you sure we are heading in the right direction? Seriously, I being roasted to death over here,"ined Wen Qinxi who was now using his shirt as a makeshift umbre shielding himself from the sun.


    "If you could maintain your pheonix transformation for a long time we would have arrived in the next town already. Unfortunately, someone roasted part of your feathers," said the system not even trying tofort him.


    "Don''t fuckin mention him. Just hearing his name makes me want to fuckin kill him," said Wen Qinxi his chest tightening in pain. He couldn''t help but scold himself for sumbing to his emotions. He should have jealously guard his heart from the start but after being persistently pursued by that male subus how could he resist the temptation.


    "It''s a good thing, things havee to this at least I would have gotten over him by the time I get out of this game," he said as though trying convince himself.


    The system couldn''t help but sigh inwardly. It didn''t understand human emotions but it knew this thing between these two wasn''t over yet.


    "Sure, sure boss. Will sing<em> to the left, to the left</em> together, yes," said the system singing part of a song Wen Qinxi wasnt familiar with.


    "What song is that?" asked Wen Qinxi scratching his head in confusion.


    "Ai.....are you sure you were born on earth or you are an alien from the Mars? It''s called irreceable....you know what, let me the system blow your mind," said Jolie searching the song on the inte before pressing y.


    After thirty minutes of listening, Wen Qinxi nod his head in approval. "Not bad, how about this? Create a ylist with such songs for me to listen to," replied Wen Qinxi.


    "Okay," said the bouncy system sifting on the inte for a great break up ylist.


    Wen Qinxi soon fell silent listening to the beautiful melody soothing his nerves when he heard a voice drifting with the wind. Vexed, he looked around but couldn''t see anything apart from vast sand dunes with an asional hot breeze brushing against the sand. For a moment, he actually thought he was hearing things. He knew the science behind seeing a mirage in the desert which was an illusion of something that isn''t there but never heard of hearing voices.


    Just as he brushed it off, he heard it again, this time clearly. Wen Qinxi licked his chapped lips while scanning in the distance. His line of sight soon fell on a small ball flying in his direction. "Is that?" he said squinting his eyes but those eyes soon widened when he saw a ck baby dragon heading straight for him, "What the..."


    "Run," was the faint wording from the tiny ck dragon which became louder with each second, "Run! It''sing, run!" but Wen Qinxi remained rooted on the ground. The little dragon was confused why the tattooed man was standing there when it had just expressed that there was danger.


    "Mr! RUN!" it said but a huge roaring sound startled the little bundle that it directlynded on Wen Qinxi''s face causing the both of them to fall to the ground.


    "Roar!" bellowed a huge angry bear running towards them.


    The little dragon didn''t give a toss anymore flying away with Wen Qinxi running behind it in exaggerated steps cursing, "Fuck! Fuck!"


    The system almostughed itself to death watching this hrious scene with a baby dragon, human and bear running in the sandy desert. ''Boss why are you running when you have the skill set to kick it''s ass? Hahaha,'' said the system eating nonexistent melon seeds while watching a great spectacle.


    ''Shut the fuck up! It''s a fuckin be-,'' he replied but stopped midway when he saw a notification activating his skill set but it wasn''t only hisbat skills but also a certain setting he was hoping would just disappear. His frightful eyes instantly turned dark with a menacing aura surrounding him. He swiftly turned his body drawing two handguns like a cowboy in the wild west and shot a round of bullets midair.


    The bear that had been running at great speed was suddenly struck at its shoulder with the bullet piercing its fur, tearing through the muscle and shattering through its bone before exiting the other end. Roaring in pain it rolled to the ground but it wasn''t done. In fact, it was even angrier assuming an intimidating stance like an angry bull before charging at Wen Qinxi.


    Wen Qinxi literally emptied two magazines but still didn''t manage to inflict fatal damage as the bear maneuvered its steps dodging some of the bullets.


    Having run out of bullets, Wen Qinxi couldn''t help but feel helpless with one bear and one human staring at each other in a stalemate.


    Frustrated, Wen Qinxi kept pressing the trigger but nothing came out. ''Shit! I am screwed,'' he thought putting up a nervousugh. "Ha! Ha! Brother bear please be gentle," he said as hey down his now useless weapons before slowly moving backwards with his hands half raised in the air as a sign of surrender.

 Chapter 203: Third World: Baby Dragon 2

    Chapter 203: Third World: Baby Dragon 2


    The bear found this amusing with a smirk on its face and a glint of mockery in it''s dark eyes. Ignoring the pain from its gunshot wounds, it slowly strode in his direction in menacing steps as though ying with its prey before striking it down. Just as it dashed over, a tiny dragonunched a red me searing part of the bear''s fur before flying away.


    The bear growled while patting its fur but the baby dragon dove down once more and delivered another scorching ball of fire this time more powerful than thest. But to this bear this tiny dragon was just a pestering fly, annoying not harmful. Like swatting a fly the little dragon was smacked out of the sky on its third attack. The little ball flew a great distance beforending in the soft sand causing a cloud of dust to disperse into the sky. Wen Qinxi''s eyes darkened watching the little ball curled up on the ground in pain.


    Livid, he grabbed two daggers out of his boots and ran towards the bear before leaping into the air striking the bear''s shoulder des.


    The bear growled once more and attempted to shake off the man while swinging its arms backward trying to hit Wen Qinxi but it was pointless. Wen Qinxi pressed the daggers deeper into the bear''s skin with blood spraying all over his face. This only made him even more agitated drawing out one of the daggers and in one move shed the bear''s throat.


    The bear let out onest cry before tumbling to the ground. Wen Qinxi jumped off the bear rolling in the sand before finding his footing. With a devious smile on his face he watched the life slowly dim out of the bear his chest heaving up and down with bloodthirsty eyes.


    Wen Qinxi couldn''t get out of this psycho setting for a while that is until he heard a cute voice praising him. "Waaaaa, uncle that was awesome," said the cute dragon that was now in its human form. Before him was a boy approximately six years old walking over to the bear. Like a curious child, the boy poked the presumed dead bear with a twig a few times but soon fell back screaming, "AAAAAAHHHHHHH!"


    The bear had made a small move that had the kid running behind Wen Qinxi and tightly clutched the man''s thigh. "Hahahahaha.....that will teach you a lesson. Do you know curiosity killed a cat?" said Wen Qinxi amused by the little dumpling''s actions but soon he wasn''tughing when he saw that face that seemed somewhat familiar.


    Wen Qinxi, "....."


    Jolie, "...."


    Wen Qinxi stumbled backwards in surprise asking the system, ''Is that...?''


    The system also took a closer look and could only say, ''Yes, I think it''s....but it can''t be,'' wishing it could poke that chubby cute face.


    ''Fuck! He even fathered a child too!....I am going to kill him,'' replied Wen Qinxi looking at the cute kid that resembled Qie Ranzhe. To be more specific, the dumpling was a miniature version of the CEO.


    ''No, no it''s definitely not. He didn''t that I am certain of,'' said the system before quietly pondering something. The system could vaguely exin what happened but didn''t know if would make any sense. That time when it lost its authority it was Qie Ranzhe''s doing. Why the CEO was screwing with its brain circuits, it didn''t know but this could be a result of that event. This kid could only be abducted from the second world. To be more specific, Zhao Xieshu''s womb but how it was done it had no idea. ''Ask his name,'' said the system but Wen Qinxi was titling his head scrutinizing the kid like a vexed puppy.


    "What?" asked the little kid confused.


    "Ahem....what''s your name?" asked Wen Qinxi separating himself from the kid.


    The kid stretched out his hand and smiled, "I am Qie Xieling. Uncle, what''s your name?"


    Wen Qinxi was wide eyed taking a step backwards withplicated feelings. "Fu.....dge," he said about to swear but recalled he was in the presence of a kid so he changed his word as he shook the tiny hand.


    "You have fudge? May I have some?" said Qie Xieling his eyes beaming in excitement.


    "No, no fudge. Are you okay?," asked Wen Qinxi checking for any abnormalities on the little dumpling.


    "I am okay," he replied feeling warm inside.


    Can you....can you wait for me here I just have to do something? I will be right back," said Wen Qinxi as he turned to leave but a tiny hand suddenly hooked his index finger.


    "Mr....y-you aren''t leaving me behind, are you?" asked the cute little thing that seemed like it was going to cry.


    "I will be right there," he said pointing in the distance, "I just need some grow up time, okay?" The little dumpling nodded his head with clear reluctance in his eyes and stared nkly at the man walking away.


    Wen Qinxi walked to a deste spot where he was certain the kid wouldn''t hear him and immediately began to swear like a sailor while kicking sand making such a mess. "F@^#&^@$@^@%@%@:@&@;#@@##@##!@, Qie Ranzhe you f@%!%!^!^@%%@:!$$!@er!"


    ''Tsk, tsk.....boss what are you doing?'' asked the system.


    Wen Qinxi sprawled his body on the hot sand responding, ''If that boy is his l am going to chop off his little brother.''


    The system felt this situation somewhat awkward and said, ''Technically it''s his....just from a different world soooooooo....,'' replied the system wishing it could just disappear but if it did that then Qie Ranzhe might actually get his member chopped off.


    ''What you mean?'' asked Wen Qinxi sitting up straight while brushing off the sand in his hair.


    ''Remember when I said something was screwing with me?....That was Qie Ranzhe and that kid didn''t exist in this world before and could only havee fro-'' exined the system with Wen Qinxi finishing off thest part of its sentence.


    ''From the second world,'' said Wen Qinxi looking at the kid who was standing at a distance seeming anxious.


    ''If you don''t believe me then ask him,'' said the system, ''don''t overthink it. This is Qie Ranzhe''s consciousness and not everything will make sense.''


    Wen Qinxi didn''t know what to think and wanted more time to figure out things but he couldn''t right now. This wasn''t the right ce for that so he waved to the kid beckoning him toe forward.


    Excited, the kid skipped over and asked, "Are we leaving now?"


    Wen Qinxi dusted the sand off his clothes and responded, "Mn," before handing the kid some water. He watched the kid drink it all up while he wiped the blood off his face with a damp cloth.


    "Who is he?" asked Wen Qinxi pointing at the bear carcass.


    Qie Xieling looked over and said, "He is a treasure hunter called Grizzly. He adopted me from an orphanage but his been using me to find treasure."


    Wen Qinxi nodded recalling how dragons are said to have high affinity for gold and gems which made sense why the man would think it was good idea to adopt a baby dragon.


    "Where is his car?" asked Wen Qinxi handing over some dried meat. Qie Xieling happily epted the meat while pointing in some direction. "Then let''s go," said Wen Qinxi putting away his stuff.


    The two set off in the direction where the car was parked. Though the walk was short for Wen Qinxi it seemed long as the kid wouldn''t stop talking. The whole way it was like this:


    Qie Xieling: Uncle, what''s your name?


    Wen Qinxi: Not an uncle and my name is Feng Zi.


    Qie Xieling: So what do I call you?


    Wen Qinxi: Zi-dage


    Qie Xieling: That''s not right you are too old to be my older brother. How about I call you dad then you can adopt me.


    Wen Qinxi: Who are your calling old!


    Qie Xieling: Then I will call you uncle.....Am I going to say with you from now on?


    Wen Qinxi: No...I will find you a nice home.


    Qie Xieling: Please


    Wen Qinxi: No


    Qie Xieling: Pleaaseee, please, please


    For ten minutes straight Qie Xieling was like a broken record saying please over and over and over again making the short walk unbearable. Wen Qinxi almost pulled out all his hair when the kid became even more shameless hugging his thigh making it hard for him to move. He couldn''t have a kid around considering the dangers in this world which made his decision easy but he made a fatal error.


    He dared to look down at that cute face with pouting lips and tear filled doe eyes melting his heart into a puddle. Once he did that it was game over for Wen Qinxi as his lips moved without him thinking it through. "Fine, if you don''t cause trouble then I will take you with me."


    Qie Xieling immediately bounced up looking as obedient as ever. Wen Qinxi sighed in frustration and turnedaround to carry on walking. In the hot deste desert one adult led the way with a miniature sized human following his footsteps the start of Wen Qinxi''s parenting experience.

 Chapter 204: Third World: Babysitting A Baby Dragon

    Chapter 204: Third World: Babysitting A Baby Dragon


    It was only after Wen Qinxi spent half a day with a kid did he realise how tiring it was being a parent. He prostrated to the heavens when the kid finally fell asleep in the back seat. He couldn''t help but give a shout out to all the parents out there. To him they were rarely celebrated heros.


    Taking a glimpse of the curled up kid through his rearview mirror, he had to admit a miniature version of Qie Ranzhe was so adorable.


    Even when they reached the small town, Wen Qinxi couldn''t bring himself to wake up the child sleeping peacefully but he didn''t know where Grizzly''s house was which left him no choice. "Ling-er," he called out ever so sweetly while gently shaking him awake but the little bundle mumbled something and pulled his hand to snuggle some more.


    This scene was too adorable that Wen Qinxi grabbed what was meant to be Grizzly''s phone which he was now confiscating as of this moment and took a snap shot to savor this precious memory. The nerd was too excited that he didn''t realise the camera sh was on which ultimately woke up Qie Xieling.


    Faced with such a groggy miniature version of the CEO, Wen Qinxi pretended like he hadn''t done anything while putting away the phone in his pocket. "We are here lil ancestor. Where is Grizzly''s house?" asked Wen Qinxi looking at the dark empty streets.


    "Oh...there," pointed the sheepish Qie Xieling who just wanted to sleep some more and he really fell forward after that falling back to sleep that Wen Qinxi had to quickly catch his falling head before it hit the back of the front seat. Amused Wen Qinxi sucked in his lips trying to stop himself fromughing.


    The following morning Wen Qinxi woke up early and made some breakfast. He had made a call to Airenst night asking her toe pick them up. At least she could watch over Qie Xieling while he paid an insignificant gang that owed Feng Yu money a visit. He intended to find Feng Yu on his own and return that stupid crystal which is why he wanted to interrogate the gang boss known as Banhen.


    Hopefully he would get some useful information as to Feng Yu''s whereabouts. ording to the game files when Feng Yu attained the crystal, Feng Zi was with him but he cked out and woke up in the mansion he was living in now with only Airen by his side and Feng Yu nowhere in sight. The mad scientist didn''t even contact his son for six years straight simply vanishing into thin air. Just like that he ghosted his son leaving him to deal with the consequences.


    Wen Qinxi''s train of thought was soon cutoff when he heard a heavy flip-flop sounding from the bedroom. Qie Xieling soon emerged from the bedroom sheepishly rubbing his eyes but as soon as he smelt the mouthwatering scent of pork and carbs mixed in together, he ran over and curiously stood on his tippy toes staring at at the bowl.


    "Good morning, Zi-dage," he said trying to maintain a calm countenance but Wen Qinxi could already see he was salivating. Unable to resist such a cute sight, Wen Qinxi smiled with his lips quirked upwards.


    "Go brush your teeth," said Wen Qinxi pretending not to see that sneaky hand trying to grab the bowl.


    "Ah dage, how do you know I didn''t?"ined Qie Xieling licking the corner of his lip that had reminants of dry crusty drool. Wen Qinxi didn''t respond just eyeing him with a ''do you dare defy me'' look that had the kid rushing over to the bathroom.


    "And don''t just put toothpaste in your mouth and rinse it off cause I can tell!" he yelled at the brat that was doing the exact same thing in the bathroom. He was busy squeezing toothpaste on his tongue intending to use water to rinse it out immediately but Wen Qinxi wasn''t new to the game.


    His little brother used to do that when they were younger. Qie Xieling was only allowed to sit down and eat after Wen Qinxi made him even wash his face andb his hair. It was then that Wen Qinxi told him they would leaving today and asked him to pack up the stuff he wanted to bring.


    Qie Xieling was excited and couldn''t help but be annoyingly inquisitive. "Sooooooo....are you married?" he asked before putting a spoonful of congee in his mouth.


    "No," replied Wen Qinxi searching around for anything useful.


    "Why?" asked Qie Xieling curiously watching him rummaging through the drawers.


    "Are you married?" said Wen Qinxi asking a silly question that left Qie Xieling stupefied.


    "Of course not. I am kid,"


    Wen Qinxi smiled when he found a handgun and replied, "I am not married for the very same reason. I am a kid."


    Qie Xieling found it so funny that he couldn''t hold back breaking into hystericalughter amused by this silly adult. A beeping sound from the phone in Wen Qinxi''s pocket brought the room to silence. As expected it was Airen who was thirty minutes away.


    "Ling-er, go pack your stuff will be heading out soon," said Wen Qinxi opening up another drawer.


    Qie Xieling excitedly jumped off the chair saying, "Okay....by the way, Grizzly''s best weapons are in here," pointing at a locked wooden chest at the corner of the room.


    Wen Qinxi was stunned that the kid actually paid attention but he had no time to praise him breaking the lock before arming himself. In under twenty minutes the pair was out of the house blending in with the crowd at the boisterous market. It appeared to be some kind of festival as the streets were decorated with green trinkets and ribbons.


    The market was too crowded that he couldn''t see clearly so he took Qie Xieling out of the sea of people and stood next to an empty stall texting Airen their location. He turned to the tiny person beside him and said, "She will be here any minute," but noticed the kid was staring at a plush dragon at the stall that was selling kids'' toys. He gently nudged Qie Xieling and asked, "Do you want it?"

 Chapter 205: Third World: Wen Qinxis New Hobby

    Chapter 205: Third World: Wen Qinxi''s New Hobby


    Qie Xieling retracted his gaze while silently shaking his head. He never had a toy before and the one time he asked Grizzly he was locked in the closet for an entire day so he dared not ask again. Wen Qinxi didn''t know what this cute kid had been through under that greedy treasure hunter but the boy''s eyes spoke volumes. Without thinking twice, he immediately bought the plush toy and crouched down in front of Qie Xieling with a bright smile.


    Adjusting his voice into a high pitch animated version Wen Qinxi asked, "Hey weirdo, would you please take me with you?" while moving the plush toy in front of him, "I need a new home so will you take me with you?"


    Qie Xieling thought it was silly but he let out a cuteugh whilst covering his mouth. Seeing that the kid didn''t respond, Wen Qinxi adjusted his voice again while moving the plush toy right into the kid''s face saying, "Pleaassssseeeeeee."


    With the toy right on his nose, Qie Xieling couldn''t refuse enthusiastically grabbing the plush dragon while muttering, "Thank you," with a smile that reached his eyes.


    Wen Qinxi pat his head and wanted to say something else but he was interrupted by a familiar voice hovering above him. "Zi-ge what the hell? Did you kidnap the General''s kid...wait the general doesn''t have a kid or....huh.....does he?" said Airen who had been awkwardly watching this scene. The simrities between the general and that kid was just too obvious but the general was a bachelor with no scandals trailing behind him.


    "His not his, he just looks like him," hurriedly denied Wen Qinxi while picking Qie Xieling up and cing him in Airen''s arms, "this is auntie Airen. She will be watching you when I am busy."


    Qie Xieling looked at the strange woman who was as tall as a skyscraper and said, "So I can call her aunt but l can''t call you uncle?"


    "Yes because she''s old," said Wen Qinxi with a smirk on his face.


    Airen whacked Wen Qinxi''s shoulderining, "Who are you calling old?"


    "Aiyo...sorry Airen-jie. You are-," he said but couldn''t finish his sentence when he spotted a group of soldiers sifting through the crowd. It was obvious what they were looking for which meant it was time to hit the road.


    Wen Qinxi lowered his head guiding the two out of the market but he had just taken two steps when he heard someone yelling, "Feng Zi stop right there!"


    "Take him away. I will distract them," said Wen Qinxi shoving them into a dark alley before vanishing into the crowd. Airen wanted to say something but Feng Zi had already disappeared.


    "Will he be okay?" asked a concerned Qie Xieling as Airen walked over to the end of the alley.


    "He will be fine. Hold on tight," she said moving Qie Xieling to her back before skillfully climbing over the wall.


    While the two were making their escape, Wen Qinxi was pushing through the crowd with a group of soldier chasing him. He was grateful for the character''s fit physic otherwise if this was his nerdy self he would have been caught already.


    The group of soldiers couldn''t keep up with him and could only request backup and that backup could only be one person. Qie Ranzhe appeared out of nowhere and shot his firearm in the sky with the loud bang causing the crowd to disperse. Wen Qinxi who had heard the resounding sound of gunfire subconsciously ducked only to see General Qie holstering his weapon running towards him.


    "Crap!" swore Wen Qinxi kicking a cart full of watermelons to block the General''s path. Like this he bought himself time dragging various things into the narrow path to block his pursuer but who would have thought the General would take off his pendant and turn into a huge ck dragon soaring into the sky to catch him. "What the fuck!" yelled Wen Qinxi looking up while running. How was this fair?


    Left with no choice, Wen Qinxi dashed into the nearest building without even looking. Breathing heavily he leaned on the closed door while swearing internally. He knew it wouldn''t take long before the soliders caught up with him and he still had an angry dragon hovering above the building. He cautiously walked deeper into the building only to find a group of women putting on makeup and costumes preparing for the town festival.


    Because everyone was busy preparing, Wen Qinxi didn''t hesitant grabbing a few clothes and make up before closing himself off in a closet.


    Just as he was trying to figure out what sort of ridiculous costume he had grabbed, he heard the system poking fun at him again. "Cross dressing again? Hahaha, boss do you have this kind of hobby?" said the system recalling the first world acting saga but Wen Qinxi didn''t care. He would rather dress like a woman than get caught by that asshole.


    "Would you rather that dragon roast me to ash?" he said putting on the world''s mostplicated outfit. With great difficulty he powdered his face and released his hair before asking, "how do I look?"


    "Like an ugly girl," said the system as Wen Qinxi packed up his clothes in a stic bag. He was grateful, the costume had long sleeves otherwise his tattoo would sell him out. In under ten minutes Wen Qinxi left through the back door and as expected a group of soldiers heading into the building actually passed him and didn''t recognize him. Even the sharp eyed dragon hovering above the roof didnt notice a man dressed in a green costume walking down the street.


    Pleased with himself, Wen Qinxi hot wired a car and made his escape heading for the mountains to look for Banhen''s base of operations.


    It was only after Qie Ranzhe had personally searched the building did he realise Fong Zi had already escaped. A dark cloud loomed over the building with the General flinging a chair into the wall in anger. He was about to flip the table when Machu showed up with some good news.


    He had been stationed at headquarters when Qie Ranzhe ordered him to join the hunt and in less than a day he had reunited with the General with a detailed investigation into Feng Yu''s known associates.


    After saluting the general he said, "I know where his headed," cing a file on the same table Qie Ranzhe was about to flip.


    "Where?" askedmander Zhao Huangzhi who had been standing by enjoying the show. She had insisted on joining the General in apprehending Feng Zi of course, with hidden intentions.


    "Banhen, a gang boss''s territory in the mountains. Each month these gang members pay a sum of money to an offshore ount which traces back to another one of Feng Yu''s associate. Maybe they know where Feng Yu is," said Machu giving a summarized report of his findings.


    "Good, I need you to stick around," said Qie Ranzhe patting Machu''s shoulder before heading out the door.


    "Great job geek," said Zhao Huangzhi in a condescending tone, e on boys let''s go hunt ourselves a bald chicken," before following in Qie Ranzhe''s footsteps with a menacing grin.


    "Yes Commander," said the rest of the team leaving behind an annoyed Machu. He really didn''t like Zhao Huangzhi and had stayed behind at headquarters because of her but he was now being forced to endure it.


    "Sigh*.....I need a fuckin raise," he said gathering up his files before exiting the room.

 Chapter 206: Third World: The Road To Being A Millionaire

    Chapter 206: Third World: The Road To Being A Millionaire


    The road to being a millionaire is tedious was the idiom Wen Qinxi made up afterexperiencing first hand how it felt to be hunted down by Qie Ranzhe. He thought this masterpiece of an idiom while changing out off the costume. He not only had to seed inpleting difficult tasks but hindrances fron the same person he was trying to help.


    "Too fuckin counterproductive," he said angrily tying his hair. He couldn''t help but wonder if a broken heart can count as work injury. He would have to discuss this with abourwyer after he was done.


    "I am going to make the bastard pay," he said angrily mming the car door causing his bangs to obstruct his vision. Pacing towards the onlypound in this seemingly deserted mountain range, he reached out with his slender fingers pushing back his stray strands.


    He footsteps halted when he saw four armed men standing on top of thepound wall looking down at him while pointing their guns. Wen Qinxi instinctively half raised his hands meaning he wasn''t here to start a fight. After ten minutes the gate was suddenly opened. It seemed the men had recognized him, how couldn''t they when he was an underworld boss and his father was their creditor.


    Actually, it was because they recognized him that Banhen didn''t immediately let him in. Feng Zi being here meant he wanted to start some shit and Banhen was ready to draw weapons but when he heard Feng Zi was alone, he seized the opportunity letting the man in.


    Being a gang boss was truly challenging work but had great gains which would make it all worth it unless one owed such a huge debt. Each month Banhen sorrowfully watched his bank bnce shed in half like a white cor employee paying a car loan for a Porsche he really couldn''t afford. At least the white cor employee can physically see where their money is going, what about him? It felt like he had made a deal with drac and his blood was getting sucked dry with no returns.


    Ruled by his emotions he decided to kidnap this young master that had willingly fallen into hisp. It was either Feng Yu writes off the debt or Feng Zi would have to pay his own ransom and Banhen could use that to pay off their debt. He didn''t care about the route as long as the destination was the same. With that he had ten of his best men join him in weing Feng Zi.


    Wen Qinxi, though ufortable being at this estate with no back up, he still proceeded forward. He was skeptical at first but considering Feng Zi''s reputation these gang members wouldn''t try anything, right?


    Wrong! Wen Qinxi immediately realised the conundrum he had walked into as soon as he entered the house that closely resembled an old Victorian home. Banhen was seated at his desk smoking a Cuban cigar with five men on either side their weapons facing down but judging from their stance they nned on putting holes through his chest if he caused trouble.


    ''So troublesome,'' thought Wen Qinxi looking around for a chair to sit on. After looking around with no avail, he realised the gangster wanted to jump straight into business without offering feign courtesy. "I didn''t expect uncle (no rtion) to be this well-mannered," said Wen Qinxi folding his arms across his chest all nonchnt with gaze all over the ce but he was alreadyying out a n to defend himself.


    Ever since he took down the bear, he had a new found respect for Feng Zi. The character was short but he was an explosive stick of dynamite if you cross his bottomline. Wen Qinxi could only secretly light a candle for these men as he was about toy waste of them.


    "Since you recognise me as your uncle then don''t make trouble and surrender. I will surely remember this and not purposely make things difficult for you," said the bald headed Banhen before taking a long drag of his cigar.


    The man shamelessly blew smoke in front of Feng Zi''s face as two of his men approached their meal ticket. The two men could already see themselves owning vis with great oceanic views. At least they could finally move out of this crappy base and live luxurious lives.


    "Wait...I need to ask something first," said Wen Qinxi causing Banhen to raise a brow in puzzlement. What was there to ask at a time like this? Curious, Banhen beckoned him to carry on.


    Wen Qinxi didn''t waste anytime directly asking his question. He knew after he was done beating the life out of these people they won''t be able to talk so he had to ask the question before the showdown. "Do you know where Feng Yu is hiding?"


    Banhen didn''t believe Feng Zi wouldn''t know where Feng Yu was. If Feng Zi didnt know then who else would know? But judging from Feng Zi''s serious expression it seemed like he genuinely didn''t know.


    "I don''t know butst I heard he personally harassed that filthy pig Fui Gen for some young miss. Don''t worry, I intend on following up on this lead to get your ransom," said Banhen while putting out his cigar before waving his hand indicating for his men to carry on.


    The two men approached close with one pointing his weapon in Feng Zi''s face while the other reached out to cuff his hands. At first, it seemed Wen Qinxi was cooperating but things suddenly went south when he said, "Since you were rude first then don''t hold it against me," with an eerie grin his eyes blood red.


    "Shit!" yelled Banhen realizing ten men weren''t enough to tame this devil. Wen Qinxi threw a powerful kick at the man who was threatening him with a gun which sent the man flying towards three other men on standby. In a swift move he grabbed the man who was about to cuff him by the neck and mmed his


    victim to the ground in a perfect chokem before drawing a weapon to shoot at the lightbulb.


    The room suddenly plunged into darkness giving Wen Qinxi the advantage since the room had no windows. Banhen was mortified, scared out of his wits and so transformed into a capybara, the world''srgest rodent and tried to escape through the trapdoor but he was met with an obstacle. There was a dead body in the way and had a hard time moving it in his transformed state.


    While struggling to drag the dead body out the way with his teeth, eerie screams filled the room with gun fire all over the ce. Through the sh from the gunshots he could faintly see a dark figure shing his men like they were nothing. Feng Zi truly lived up to his reputation. He immediately regretted screwing with this man. With his fur raised in fright he began to frantically tug the body but just as he was about to seed, the shouts and screams stopped with only the sound of steady footstepsing towards him. These footsteps could only mean one thing that is, he was finished. With a shrill scream Banhen died in his rodent form looking so pitiful.

 Chapter 207: Third World: Sleep With One Eye Open

    Chapter 207: Third World: Sleep With One Eye Open


    Wen Qinxi exited the dark room holding the dead capybara that was meant to be Banhen. He wanted to show the rest of the gang members that their leader was dead and give them a choice but he was shocked to find the rest of the gangsters were already stiff corpses scattered all over thepound.


    He didn''t even have time to make sense of everything when he noticed he was surrounded by armed soldiers pointing their weapons at him. In front of him was Qie Ranzhe''s ck suv with its owner leaning against the bumper of the car casually tossing a grenade as though ying with a stress ball. Zhao Huangzhi was right beside him sitting on the car bo legs crossed with her back leaning against the windscreen.


    This appearance made it seem as though they had been waiting for him for a long time. "Shit," swore Wen Qinxi with a twisting pain in his chest as he tossed Banhen''s corpse on the ground before half raising his hands in surrender. A soldier soon strolled over and turned his body around to frisk him for weapons but who would have thought Wen Qinxi would attack the solider as soon as hey hands on his body. He didn''t appreciate being fondled by a stranger.


    The atmosphere immediately turned stiff with the other soilders unconsciously cing their fingers on the trigger but Qie Ranzhe stopped them before he personally grabbed Feng Zi''s back cor and dragged him into a nearby building. Seeing this, Zhao Huangzhi immediately hopped off the bo and followed behind them. She wouldn''t pass up an opportunity to make Feng Zi miserable so she swaggered over.


    In the room Feng Zi was easily subdued by Qie Ranzhe but that didn''t mean he wouldn''t fight. "Rx!" yelled Qie Ranzhe fully aware that his old friend was in his crazed state making it hard to reason with him. While Wen Qinxi was putting up a fight, Qie Ranzhe was frisking him for weapons which was a mindblowing experience.


    On the surface alone, Qie Ranzhe seized five handguns, three pistols and two daggers. The guy was indeed packing and the general knew this wasn''t all of it. It''s just that the rest were in ces he couldn''t touch. "Take out the rest of the stash and I will let you heat me to vent your anger," said Qie Ranzhe before releasing Feng Zi.


    In high school, he used to use the same method to have Feng Zi vent his anger. After the beating their friendship would resume and what they fought about already forgotten. This method might have worked in the past but their friendship was already nonexistent but it was worth a shot.


    He was impulsive when he shot Feng Zi but didn''t expect the other to cry which brought him back to the day they first met. He rescued Feng Zi from a group of bullies which was the first andst time he had seen Feng Zi cry. Yet the man cried again when he shot him making the general feel guilty.


    Though ridden with guilt he couldn''t tolerate the fact that Feng Zi actually tried to force himself on Zhao Huangzhi. This made the situation moreplicated which is why he chose to use this method and temporarily wave the white g because he needed Feng Zi to find Feng Yu.


    Wen Qinxi who had been bottling up his feelings all this time immediately agreed. He had wanted to express his dissatisfaction towards Qie Ranzhe but didn''t have the opportunity but it seemed the universe heard his plea and gave him this golden opportunity.


    Wen Qinxi immediately began to take out the weapons he was hiding in his person cing them on the table one by one with his vicious gaze fixated on the General. He was so immersed in his thoughts that he didn''t realise when Zhao Huangzhi entered the room. To him she was just a part of the crappy furniture so he didn''t even spare her a nce let alone acknowledge her.


    Qie Ranzhe noticed this but didn''t say anything. In the past, Feng Zi would be already prostrating in front ofZhao Huangzhi or flirting with her. Qie Ranzhe brushed it off as Feng Zi being too angry to notice Zhao Huangzhi so didn''t mention it.


    Two brass knuckles, three pocket knives and four sh grenadester, Wen Qinxi finally finished off loading. Qie Ranzhe nod his head in tacit understanding and slowly approached Feng Zi permitting him to go ahead. Wen Qinxi was angry but he was hesitant to beat Qie Ranzhe. If it weren''t for the psycho setting and painful memories of being shot he most definitely would have held back.


    "You dared to shoot me right?" said Wen Qinxi clenching his fists with a fierce gaze that could scare the dead.


    "Go ahead," replied Qie Ranzhe seeming unfazed which further infuriated Wen Qinxi. He was expecting an apology for being shot of no reason but he still didnt know Zhao Huangzhi used of him ofassault.


    Pissed off, Wen Qinxi was unrestrained punching Qie Ranzhe in the gut a couple of times before kicking him on the shin. Zhao Huangzhi felt her heart hurt seeing her beloved general being assaulted by the bald chicken but she knew the rules clearly. This was between them and she couldn''t interfere so she could only find something to preupy her time.


    Her attention was soon grasped by a phone lying amongst Feng Zi''s pile of weapons. Curious, she swiped open the phone only to see a wallpaper with a boy around the age of six to seven sleeping in a car. At first, she brushed it off and began to search for Feng Yu''s information assuming this was Feng Zi''s main phone but she soon stopped when she realised something was off about this kid.


    She raised her head and looked at Qie Ranzhe then at the kid. ''No it can''t be. It must be a trick,'' she thought and turned her aggression towards Feng Zi. "Hey," she said tossing the phone at Feng Zi''s head, "who the fuck is this?" with the sound of the phone crashing in the ground.


    Wen Qinxi stopped his actions and stared nkly at the device with a cracked screen on the ground. Qie Ranzhe also followed Feng Zi''s line of sight and judging from the mad man''s expression he could tell this was important to him and Zhao Huangzhi had broken it. This exact moment was best described as the calm before the storm so Qie Ranzhe picked up the phone for him.


    Feng Zi didn''t even acknowledge the general instead grabbed a knife from the weapon pile and lunged forward intending to sh Zhao Huangzhi''s throat. Wen Qinxi''s temper plus the psycho setting were a recipe for disaster creating the perfect nuclear weapon that even the system began to panic but even the mighty Jolie couldn''t turn off this setting.


    Qie Ranzhe could tell the seriousness of this situation and so held back Feng Zi with the instigator pretending to act all innocent like a white lotus. It seemed as though Feng Zi was the big bad wolf bullying a helpless girl. If Qie Ranzhe had walked into this situation he would have easily believed Zhao Huangzhi was a victim, too bad this time he was there from the beginning.


    "Bitch you are fuckin courting death!" yelled the angry Wen Qinxi pointing the knife at Zhao Huangzhi. He really wanted to sh her throat but he was suddenly flung over Qie Ranzhe''s shoulders and carried out of the building. But even then he kept struggling while pointing the knife at her. "Put me down, this has nothing to do with you," said Wen Qinxi before addressing Zhao Huangzhi again, "you better watch your back.....You better sleep with one open."

 Chapter 208: Third World: I Like Someone Else

    Chapter 208: Third World: I Like Someone Else


    To say Wen Qinxi blew a fuse would more urate. He was seeing red trembling in anger. If Qie Ranzhe had been careless for just a single moment he most certainly would have stabbed her to death right there and then. When Wen Qinxi first came to this world he wanted to kill her on the spot but didn''t not only because she was dating Qie Ranzhe but also because he couldn''t kill her for crimesmitted by the Zhao Huangzhi in the second world.


    Zhao Huangzhi had toppled over his bottom line several times already but when she tossed that phone with Qie Xieling''s picture he finally snapped.


    Qie Xieling was the only memory he had of the blissful love he shared with Qie Ranzhe in the second world and she dared to desecrate that. This is why he went off the rails and threatened her with no reservations.


    Qie Ranzhe separated the two carrying him to a miltary motorhome before putting him down. He immediately took the knife away and waited for this firecracker to simmer down. Wen Qinxi''s anger only subsided after thirty minutes with the psycho setting finally letting go of him. That''s when he noticed Qie Ranzhe who was silentlyseated on the bed watching him. The General''s gaze was neither hot nor cold, his expression unreadable making it difficult for him to discern Qie Ranzhe''s thoughts.


    "What?" asked Wen Qinxi averting his gaze. He didn''t want to stare at him a minute otherwise he might sell his feelings out. He still loved the man he rolled around with underneath the sheets but things had changed.


    Qie Ranzhe could sense something off with Feng Zi. The man seemed different, not only did he retaliate against Zhao Huangzhi which he never did before but also seemed less hostile towards him. This had Qie Ranzhe scratching his head in confusion but this wasn''t the time nor ce to investigate so he said, "Take off your clothes," in an imperious tone while standing up to grab some clean clothes.


    Wen Qinxi, "..."


    ''Are you shitting me?'' he thought tightly clutching the top button of his shirt borrowed from Grizzly''s collection. Qie Ranzhe shot him and now he was asking him to undress?


    "Fuck no!" he outrightly refused. He was a little panicked which had Qie Ranzhe raise a brow in confusion.


    "Are you a fuckin maiden? Take it off and change into this," said Qie Ranzhe tossing the clothes on the table nearby, "you can''t keep wearing bloodstained clothes." Qie Ranzhe couldn''t help but wonder when this infamous nudist suddenly became shy. Back in high school in the locker room, Feng Zi would prance around showcasing his birthday suit for everyone to see. Maybe he grew out of it or developed some self awareness.


    Wen Qinxi grabbed the clothes and said, "I need to wash up," his ears turning red recalling the things he and his alpha did in the second world. Staring into nk space, Wen Qinxi was wreathed in smiles stuck in his own existence.


    Qie Ranzhe was opening the door to the small shower in the motorhome when he caught sight of that dazzling smile he had never seen before. He might not have personally smiled like that but he could easily discern what that smile meant especially with pink bubbles flying over the ce.


    With mixed feelings he asked, "Are you thinking of Huan-<em>er</em> again?" This question drew Wen Qinxi out off his sweet daydream his expression turning ugly.


    He walked over holding on to his change of clothes and casually said, "No, I like someone else so you can be rest assured," about to enter the tiny shower.


    Qie Ranzhe held on to the top of the door his body rxed while carefully scrutinizing Feng Zi. "Really?" he asked with a sly grin on his face. He couldn''t believe that Feng Zi actually fell for someone else so quickly when he just recently kidnapped Zhao Huangzhi openly dering his love for her to the entire world.


    "Yeah," said Wen Qinxi forcibly pulling the shower door to close it causing Qie Ranzhe stumble as he let go.


    He was curious to know who was special enough to finally end the intense love rivalry that''s been going on between them. Rubbing the tip of his nose he settled in the chair waiting for Feng Zi to finish. Twenty minutester the man still hadn''t showed any signs ofing out making Qie Ranzhe suspicious. His suspicions were actually valid as our dear nerd was busy ying with his bird after overstimting himself thinking about the obscene things they did in the second world.


    Qie Ranzhe was about to knock on the door and scold him for wasting water when Zhao Huangzhi walked into the motorhome without knocking. She didn''t appreciate Qie Ranzhe spending this much time alone with Feng Zi so she came over to take a look. She was initially nning to stomp in fuming but seeing Qie Ranzhe alone she cooled down several degrees and said, "We need to talk. Where is he?"


    Qie Ranzhe leisurely pointed at the shower door while opening up a can of soda. The rage she had suppressed suddenly rose back up again with her expression as ck as charcoal.


    "Why do have to be so amodating to him? ording to militaryw his a prisoner and he should be cuffed and detained so what the fuck are you doing? Your old friend is gone, he betrayed you, shot you three times and assault-," she said choking right at thest word with her voice bing tremulous, "assaulted me." Her eyes reddened while anxiously biting her lower lip. Seeing her like this, Qie Ranzhe''s heart couldn''t help but soften. His mother was assaulted and died of her injuries which was his weak point. He was just about to stand up and hug her when the shower door was suddenly opened.


    Wen Qinxi came out of the shower wearing a tight fighting green t-shirt clearly outlining his muscles. It was probably a size too small but Wen Qinxi didn''t mind it. His cheeks seemed a bit shed from the warm water with his damp strands brushing against his face enhancing his sex appeal that even Zhao Huangzhi noticed. That tattoo and pink lips had her heart faintly skip a beat but it immediately returned to normal like nothing happened.

 Chapter 209: Third World: Who Knows A Man Better Than His Wife?

    Chapter 209: Third World: Who Knows A Man Better Than His Wife?


    Qie Ranzhe on the other hand was curiously staring at that tattoo running up Feng Zi''s entire arm. He had seen it when Feng Zi was being operated on after being shot but didn''t pay much attention. Now he was curiously staring at it wondering why Feng Zi got it in the first ce.


    Wen Qinxi was just closing the bathroom door when he was startled to see two people staring at him like he owed them money. "What?" he asked tossing his bloodstained clothes in the bin.


    The two immediately averted their gaze with Zhao Huangzhi saying, "Get out," in amanding tone while Qie Ranzhe took another sip of his soda.


    Wen Qinxi strolled over and leaned against the table right next to Qie Ranzhe with his arms crossed in front of his chest and a brittle smile stered on his face. "I can leave but there is no guarantee that I won''t escape," he said honestly.


    "General, I request you detain the prisoner," she said her tone suddenly turning formal. Qie Ranzhe heard her but he wasn''t willing to let Feng Zi out of his sight. He was fully aware of what the man was capable of and he was fairly certain he was the only one who could tame Feng Zi.


    Wen Qinxi nudge Qie Ranzhe with a taunting smile saying, "General you heard the Commander. Why don''t you detain me?"


    Qie Ranzhe''s eyes turned cold as he ced the can on the table and resolutely said, "Not going to happen."


    Infuriated Zhao Huangzhi attempted to convince him but Wen Qinxi found this couple''s squabble annoying so he curiously began to look around. Soon the arguement became background noise to him as he unconsciously picked up the ice cold can of soda and took a sip, followed by another. It was after three sips that he snapped out off it when Zhao Huangzhi yelled, "What the fuck!"


    Wen Qinxi swallowed the sweet cool liquid down his throat and asked, "You talking to me," pointing to himself with the hand that was holding the soda can.


    Zhao Huangzhi waspletely engrossed in anger yelling, "You!" but she was so infuriated that no other words came out.


    Wen Qinxi didn''t know why he was suddenly roped into this disagreement. Seeing his confusion, Qie Ranzhe decided to rify things. "That''s mine," he said pointing at the can.


    Wen Qinxi stared at the can that was almost empty and said, "Oh," before lifting his head to stare at Qie Ranzhe while taking thest sip, "well, its mine now" in a ambiguous tone. Qie Ranzhe felt his heart skip a beat with goosebumps forming all over his body being stared at like that.


    Wen Qinxi supressed a smile finding amusement in teasing Qie Ranzhe. He vowed from then on to torment a seemingly straight man.


    "I will just go outside and give the two of you some space," he said tossing the now empty can into the bin. As a nerd this is the only sporting activity he was good at as he normally tossed empty cans of energy drinks in the trash while pulling an all nighter programming.


    He was about to stand up when Qie Ranzhe said, "Who allowed you to leave?" his voice as cold as ice. Wen Qinxi actually settled back down obediently as it was now second nature to listen to Qie Ranzhe like a well behaved wife.


    "Get the fuck out!" yelled Zhao Huangzhi disregarding army ranks but Wen Qinxi didn''t move an inch suddenly feeling a headache.


    Lightning sparks began to crisscross between Zhao Huangzhi and Qie Ranzhe. The two were stuck in a stalemate with mounting tension filling the room. Wen Qinxi couldn''t bear it anymore so he decided to interject. "How about I....," he said casually rummaging through Qie Ranzhe''s pocket causing the General''s muscles to stiffen with a ''what the fuck'' expression.


    "Ah <em>dage</em>....don''t look at me like that. If looks could kill you would have murdered me already. I just need your phone," said Wen Qinxi sessfully retrieving Qie Ranzhe''s phone, "I will listen to music and you two can carrying on pecking at each other like chickens."


    In under ten minutes Wen Qinxi had scratched at Qie Ranzhe''s bottonline twice breaking two of the General''s ten rules. One, he had robed the General''s food and second, he had touched the General''s things which if Zhao Huangzhi had done she would get an icy cold shoulder for a period of no less than two weeks yet Feng Zi was left unscathed. Qie Ranzhe was obviously angry but he wasnt angry enough to do something about it.


    He silently watched Feng Zi put on earphones and sprawl onto the bed at the far end of the motorhome. At first he wanted to retrieve his phone but when he recalled how encrypted his device was he rxed confident that Feng Zi wouldn''t be able to open it. He was expecting the man to bring back his device but after waiting for a minute, Feng Zi didn''t return.


    In fact, he was already scrolling down the ylist. Qie Ranzhe was dumbfounded but decided to let him use his phone hoping it would appease Zhao Huangzhi since Feng Zi was no longer eavesdropping.


    But boy was his wrong as Zhao Huangzhi was the least bit appeased. "How does he know your password?" she asked with a sickening feeling in the pit of her stomach. She wasn''t allowed to touch his things yet he was being lenient with Feng Zi. She suddenly felt like not speaking anymore.


    Qie Ranzhe shrug his shoulder and replied, "Don''t know."


    He thought the guy might have hacked into his phone or something butpletely dispelled that idea as Feng Zi wasn''t smart enough for hacking. Actually, Wen Qinxi didn''t hack his phone but he knew Qie Ranzhe too well and easily guessed his password. Who knows a man better than his wife?


    He even shamelessly put his fingerprint in the phone so it could recognize himter as he had a slight suspicion that after this Qie Ranzhe would change his security settings. Satisfied, he listened to music disregarding the two people arguing over him.

 Chapter 210: Third World: Poking At Someones Sleeping Face

    Chapter 210: Third World: Poking At Someone''s Sleeping Face


    After all that running around in the past days, Wen Qinxi was dog tired and suddenly slept without warning. He was in such a deep sleep that even his sleeping posture was that of an unguarded child with asional light snores. Zhao Huangzhi who had been throwing a fitpletely lost it after that and strolled over to wake him up but she was pushed out of the room by Qie Ranzhe.


    Qie Ranzhe still needed Feng Zi''s to find Feng Yu and was well aware that torture or threats would never work on Feng Zi so if the man what''s to sleep then let him sleep. Maybe he would wake up in a better mood and cooperate with them. Three hourster, Qie Ranzhe came back to the motorhome expecting to find Feng Zi awake but the guy was sprawled on the bed with his limbs spread out. The man was even drooling which Qie Ranzhe found amusing.


    How can Feng Zi sleep so deeply with no ounce of vignce when he was surrounded by enemies? With a malicious grin, he poked Feng Zi''s supple cheek calling out to him, "Feng Zi wake up." He poked once more but this time it wasn''t for the purpose of waking Feng Zi up but pure curiosity. He found the sleeping man''s face nice to the touch and couldn''t help but do it again.


    As the saying goes give an inch and they will takea mile that''s exactly what Qie Ranzhe did. Hefortably sat on the bed and couldn''t help but pinch a couple of times which finally prompted a response from Feng Zi. In his sleep, Wen Qinxi felt pain on his face but it wasn''t painful enough to make him wake up so he swat his hand at his cheek and mumbled something.


    Qie Ranzhe seemed to have only caught one word from Feng Zi''s incoherent mumbles which was Ran-ge. Thinking he heard wrong, he leaned in closer and quietly whispered, "What did you say?" before turning his ear to the side close enough to hear Feng Zi.


    As expected, Feng Zi spoke again, "Ran-ge, let me sl-sleep a little longer...then will do it, okay?" Let''s not me Wen Qinxi, in the previous world Qie Ranzhe sometimes woke him up wanting to do adult things in the middle of the night so this line of response came natural to Wen Qinxi. Lucky for him the general had no idea what kind of ''do it'' he was referring to.


    Qie Ranzhe''s brows furrowed and he curiously asked, "Do what?" but Feng Zi didn''t respond. Qie Ranzhe was about to ask again when something unexpected happened. Feng Zi suddenly wrapped his arm around the general''s neck and dragged him down. Qie Ranzhe quickly pressed his palm on the bed preventinghimself from being dragged down even further otherwise their faces would be pressed together by now.


    Feng Zi seemed dissatisfied with his once smooth brows creased a little and so he tugged a bit more but Qie Ranzhe was an unmovable boulder yelling, "Feng Zi! Wake up!"


    Being yelled at like that Wen Qinxi finally woke up and his half lidded eyes suddenly opened as wide as a light bulb before shoving Qie Ranzhe cursing, "Shit....What are you doing?"


    Qie Ranzhe felt like he was being used of something he didn''t do. Aggrieved, he said, "I was trying to wake you up," and carried on with the sentence in his mind, ''and pinched your face.'' He was so ashamed of himself that he would take that secret to his grave.


    As though he had a sixth sense, Wen Qinxi massaged his sore cheek ring at Qie Ranzhe. ''Did he take advantage of me while I was sleeping?'' he thought but there was no evidence.


    The system happily chimed in saying, ''Boss, he poked and pinched your face a couple of times....hahaha then you wanted to kiss him.''


    ''Seriously, why did you have to say the second half of your sentence. Go run an update or something,'' replied Wen Qinxi feeling like it was indeed dangerous sleeping with Qie Ranzhe around. He had no control of his unconscious response which was extremely troublesome.


    Qie Ranzhe felt the atmosphere was wrong so he tried to ease the tension by changing the subject. He waved his phone at Feng Zi who was now sitting upright in the bed and said, "Tell me, how did you know my password? I had someone check it out. It turns out you didn''t hack into it so do you what to tell me how you knew my password?"


    ''Because I know you like the back of my hand,'' said Wen Qinxi in his heart but he didn''t dare say it out loud. "Guessed it," was his response but he knew Qie Ranzhe wouldn''t buy it so he deliberately changed the subject, "Why did you shoot me?"


    Qie Ranzhe was just about to refute Feng Zi''s response when that question was suddenly thrown right to his face. He unconsciously clenched his fist and said, "You shot me three times in the chest and I was in aa for three months. Look," he said pulling up his t-shirt to reveal an impressive frame that had Wen Qinxi drooling like a kid at a candy store.


    His eyes lit up forgetting the purpose why this t-shirt had been pulled up in the first ce and bit his lower lip stretching out his finger to poke. ''So dangerous, really dangerous,'' were the words bouncing in his mind.


    Lucky for him his lustful appearance was missed by Qie Ranzhe who was looking down at his chest pointing at the scars left by the bullets. His exnation soon stopped when he noticed a hand reaching to touch. Angry, he smacked the hand instantly jolting Wen Qinxi out of his hypnotic state.


    "<em>Dage</em> please don''t casually lift your t-shirt up next time. It''s extremely dangerous,"said Wen Qinxi pulling Qie Ranzhe''s t-shirt down for him.


    Qie Ranzhe was confused but didn''t have time to fully digest Feng Zi''s words when the man went on to say, "I didn''t shoot you without a reason. You burnt my feathers and this," pointing at Qie Ranzhe''s now covered chest, "was retribution. Do you know I can no longer hold my form for a long period let alone fly?"


    It turns out Wen Qinxi wasn''t making stuff up. Something like this really did happen. When Qie Ranzhe burnt off Feng Zi''s feathers while pursuing him Feng Zi ambushed the general and shot him out of the sky. A simple case of an eye for an eye but what they didn''t know was someone was pulling their strings behind the scenes creating this award winning scenario.


    A glint of guilt showed in Qie Ranzhe''s eyes but it disappeared as quickly as it came as he said, "I didn''t shoot you without reason. You know what happened to my mother yet you...you dared to force Zhao Huangzhi."

 Chapter 211: Third World: K-drama Love Triangle

    Chapter 211: Third World: K-drama Love Triangle


    Wen Qinxi was confused asking himself, ''Forced to do what? Eat exotic fruits and order me around? Well, yes I did threaten her with a gun but is that worth me getting shot?'' This seemed unreasonable so he said, "Yes, I threatened her with a gun and forced her to stay at my estate but didn''t I repent and arrange to give her back to you. I didn''t even ask for anything in return just five minutes to talk to you so how did that earn me a bullet to my abdomen?"


    Qie Ranzhe was expecting him to exin his actions but didn''t expect Feng Zi to lie to him. This agitated him even further resulting in him losing control of his emotions. "You forced her to sleep with you! Feng Zi don''t you fuckin dare lie to me, I saw the bruises! Do you dare to keep lying? Just because she didn''t choose you, did you have to resort to such a despicable method. You even dared molest another woman in my base. When did you be such a pervert," yelled Qie Ranzhe bursting out in anger catching Wen Qinxi by surprise.


    Wen Qinxi finally put the puzzle pieces together recalling how Qie Ranzhe''s mother died in this world, hearing about Zhao Huangzhi''s bruises and remembering Zhao Huangzhi''s vile tongue. ''Fuck! The bitch frame me,'' thought Wen Qinxi regretting not shooting her when he had the chance.


    He couldn''t believe he had just been yed by that green tea bitch and began tough hysterically in his anger. "Hahahahaha...wow. You know what, believe whatever the fuck you want but I neverid my hand on that bitch. Now get the fuck out," said Wen Qinxi before lying down with his back to Qie Ranzhe.


    Even if he exined himself right now, Qie Ranzhe wouldn''t believe him especially when Zhao Huangzhi was also backed up by the event in the supply closet when he was trying to escape. The more he exined the guiltier he looked so he zipped his mouth. He had to meet up with Airen so she could clear his name. "Laozi is not a fuckin pervert," he said to himself when he heard the loud bang of the motorhome door closing.


    Qie Ranzhe immediately walked out of the motorhome only to pause his steps wondering why he had obediently walked out when the motorhome belonged to himself. "Fuck it!" he said angrily stomping away. He wasn''t worried about Feng Zi escaping because he decisively locked him in and had armed guards surrounding the motorhome.


    The General''s steps seemed aimless but he actually found his way to Machu''s tent. Without even announcing himself, he walked into his best friend''s tent and immediately seized Machu''s bed with a sullen expression. Machu who had been writing a report of what transpired today was so startled that he identally tapped the wrong key on his keyboard almost deleting all his work.


    "Fuck! Can''t you knock next time,"ined Machu while restoring his data.


    Qie Ranzhe half opened the hand covering his eyes and said, "You dare talk to me like that."


    "Its after hours so I can curse you out as I wish. You dragged me away from thefort of an air conditioner into this dry wastnd so yeah, I will happily curse you out," replied Machu eximing his grievances.


    In all honesty, he didn''t minding to the hot desert. He had followed Qie Ranzhe to much more dangerous ces than this but he couldn''t tolerate Zhao Huangzhi no matter how hard he tried. He was so tired of this endless love triangle like in those romantic K-drama series were two great friends fight over one woman as if she''s thest woman on earth. If she was a goddess or saint he might understand but Zhao Huangzhi was more like a subus which made this situation seem stupid to him.


    So he made a conscious decision to distance himself but who would have thought right after Independence day he would get dragged into this mess again. His chain of thought was soon interrupted when he heard Qie Ranzhe sighly deeply like an old auntie contemting her life choices.


    "You what to talk about it or you are nning on sighing yourself to death? What''s eating you?" asked Machu without sparing him a nce.


    "You noticed?," said captain obvious causing Machu to almost roll his eyes, "Feng Zi forced himself on Huan-er and almost slept with her," said Qie Ranzhe in a soft spoken voice.


    Machu''s typing motion stopped abruptly that is before he broke out in unrestrainedughter. This must be the joke of the year, right? Qie Ranzhe sat up from bed looking at him with an ''exin yourself'' expression.


    Sensing hostile energy emanating from Qie Ranzhe, he hurriedly exined, "Its nothing to joke about and I am not making fun or anything. It''s just that Feng Zi holds Zhao Huangzhi on a pedestal. If she as much as breaks a nail he would freak out. Don''t you remember that one girl who dared scratch Zhao Huangzhi''s hand. Even though it was by ident, Feng Zi had the girl scratched till Zhao Huangzhi was satisfied now you are telling me he attacker her?"


    Qie Ranzhe wouldn''t have believed it too but Feng Zi''s change in character had him thinking it was definitely possible. "What if his character changed. What if Zhao Huangzhi falls from grace?"


    "Look, Feng Zi might be a crazy bastard but he would never force himself on her. If she falls from grace he is the type who wouldn''t care anymore. On the other hand, Zhao Huangzhi is the type that won''t stop till she gets what she wants. Take a moment to think about it," said Machu washing his hands off this matter one more time.


    Qie Ranzhey back down but his mind remained active carefully thinking through the events in the past few days. If Zhao Huangzhi lied to him then all hell will break lose. He didn''t appreciate being manipted and the consequences thereof would be detrimental.

 Chapter 212: Third World: Wrongfully Accused Again

    Chapter 212: Third World: Wrongfully used Again


    On a deserted dirt road clouds of dust rose to the sky as two armoured jeeps tracked the beautifulndscape as the golden orange sunrise rose from the horizon. It was bound to be a beautiful day but the three people in one of the armoured jeeps didn''t seem to think so as they drove in awkward silence. The atmosphere was so heavy and thick that one could easily slice it with a knife and the three of them had no choice but to be there.


    Qie Ranzhe had sent Machu and the rest of his team to follow up on a lead leaving him behind with a two car envoy. He had decisively kept Feng Zi by his side handcuffing him in the passenger seat but just as they were about to leave Zhao Huangzhi insisted on joining them. He had already arranged for her to leave with Machu''s envoy but not only did Machu refuse, she also protested.


    Since he was in no mood to chit chat he agreed but she had to sit at the back seat. Just like this, the trip was decided with Qie Ranzhe on the driver''s seat leading the way. Their target was Fui Gen, thest person to have had his ass kicked by Feng Yu. They hoped that pimp would know Feng Yu''s whereabouts, if not then thedy that was important enough to force Feng Yu to temporarily expose himself just to rescue her.


    Wen Qinxi barely slept the previous night so he put on his sunsses and fell asleep with his feet up on the dashboard. Qie Ranzhe wanted to stop him but also didn''t want to talk to him or start a fight so he let it be but Zhao Huangzhi didn''t take it so well.


    "Take your filthy shoes off the dashboard," shemanded ring at Feng Zi with a look of disdain but who would have thought the man would deliberately ignore her and carried on sleeping. Zhao Huangzhi wouldn''t be Zhao Huangzhi if she didn''t persist and so she yelled again,


    "Are you deaf? I said take your feet off the dashboard!"


    Wen Qinxi was an expert at selective hearing, it was as though he had cotton balls in his ears making him feign ignorance with ease. Seeing her n wasn''t working, she looked for backing from the next avable person. "Ran-ge, his challenging your authority. Don''t you want to do something about it?" she said rubbing his shoulder.


    Qie Ranzhe was already having a headache and needed space to figure out some stuff which is why he wanted Machu to take Zhao Huangzhi along but things didn''t work out for him. Things were bearable at the beginning of the journey but now Zhao Huangzhi was starting trouble and he was not in the mood. "Don''t make trouble otherwise I will kick you out and you can ride the second car," he said shrugging off Zhao Huangzhi''s hand that was rubbing his shoulder.


    Silently biting her lower lip, she stared out the window swallowing back the rest of herint. Ever since the day she left Feng Zi''s hold it seemed everything was going wrong. For years these two had butt heads fighting for her attention so much so that she had them eating out of her hand but all her hardwork seemed to have been for nought at the end of the day.


    Initially she didn''t care that Feng Zi was acting hostile towards her with his feelings for her taking a 180 degree turn. She had always wanted to be with Qie Ranzhe so she didn''t care when Feng Zi suddenly turned cold towards her but it seemed Feng Zi losing interest was influencing Qie Ranzhe''s feeling towards her. She had to figure out something otherwise she did end up losing Qie Ranzhe.


    While Zhao Huangzhi was trying to salvage her rtionship, Wen Qinxi was in deep sleep with his head leaning against the window. He slept so unguarded that he didn''t notice a certain someone who was watching him through his peripheral view. That person could only be Qie Ranzhe whose attention was divided between keeping his eye on the road and scrutinizing Feng Zi.


    This was a first in a long time that they had spent this much time together. Staring at that handsome face, Qie Ranzhe suddenly felt nostalgic for his primary school days. Because of his identity as the president''s son, he was distant and always kept to himself that is until he met Feng Zi. He remembered telling Feng Zi his identity and to stay away but the eight year old said he didn''t care and tired Qie Ranzhe out till they became friends.


    Who would have guessed they did be enemies ten yearster? Qie Ranzhe shook his head in disappointment. If only they could go back to how it was before but the likelihood of that happening was slim. Just then, his thought process was interrupted by the sound of gunshots.


    With his brows knitted together, he radioed the car behind them only to be met by the panicked voice of his subordinate. "General we are under attack. There are about six bogeys tailing us.....shit.....the sergeant has been hit, I repeat the sergeant has been hit!" said the panicked soilder.


    This raucous woke up Wen Qinxi from his dream. Taking off his sunsses as he asked, "What happened?" but the response he got was unexpected.


    "Is it your men?!" yelled Qie Ranzhe who was seething with anger with his hands tightly clutching the steering wheel. If this was really Feng Zi''s doing then he did torture him to death.


    "Fuck no!" yelled Wen Qinxi. This really had nothing to do with him yet Qie Ranzhe used him without batting an eyelid, "Give me the key and I will take care of them!" Wen Qinxi said this while raising his cuffed hand but Qie Ranzhe ignored him issuing orders to Zhao Huangzhi, "Commander! Grab the rifle under the seat and retaliate!" staring right at her in the review mirror.


    "General Qie," she said her voice hesitant, "I am not fit to fire a weapon." She had only joined the army to follow Qie Ranzhe and hadn''t experiencedbat before. Fully aware of her skill she decided to make up an excuse. "The second car can by us some time. I suggest you floor it," she said suggesting they abandon ship.


    Qie Ranzhe felt his entire body grow numb at her words and was about to order her to do asmanded but Feng Zi suddenly picked his handcuffs right in front of them and grabbed the sniper rifle from under the back seat. Both the general andmander were dumbfounded and watched as Feng Zi climb out of the car window before reappearing at the back of the jeep.


    Wen Qinxi signalled for the car behind them to drive ahead of them giving him a clear view of the envoy that had the guts to attack them. He set up the sniper rifle andy down on the cold floor. Looking through the magnifying scope he focused on the driver of the car in front and in a clean shot he took down the first car absorbing the recoil in his body. The first car veered out of the road taking along with it another car followed by a huge explosion.

 Chapter 213: Third World: Shirtless Wen Qinxi

    Chapter 213: Third World: Shirtless Wen Qinxi


    Wen Qinxi had no time to celebrate aiming at another vehicle which had a semi-automatic machine gun randomly firing bullets at them. Steady with a sense of calmness Wen Qinxifocused on the raving idiot operating the machine gun and struck his heart with precision before shooting their tires causing the vehicle to overturn in a magnificent scene that had Wen Qinxi''s blood rush.


    He wasn''t a hardcore gamer but he would most definitely get his own gaming capsule and be a loyal supporter of his own creation. After taking a minute of bragging internally, he targeted the next car and with the wind violently blowing in his eyes he fired once more but the scale was soon imbnced when he noticed two idiots dragging rocketunchers. Two out of the three remaining cars had rocketunchers and they intended on firing at the same time.


    He couldn''t take out two targets simultaenously making him a little panicked. As expected he took out one of them but the other car fired followed by a warbling, echoing sound. "Shit!" swore Wen Qinxi secretly lightning a candle for himself.


    Qie Ranzhe tried to keep the car steady watching Feng Zi take out the enemy one by one. He wanted to assist him but couldn''t convince Zhao Huangzhi to take over the wheel. From the rear view mirror he could see the rocketunchers and immediately understood Feng Zi couldn''t take them both out so he tactfully avoided the iing rocket veering the car to the side but the impact of the explosion from the rocket hitting the ground caused the car to tilt to the side before settling back down.


    Wen Qinxi was painfully tossed around at the back that he couldn''t help but raise a middle finger at Qie Ranzhe after the car stabilised. Qie Ranzhe didn''t miss his action and smiled in amusement. The dust and debris was soon left behind with two vehicles in hot pursuit.


    The gangsters seemed to have restored their IQ and decided to take out Feng Zi at the back. Without Feng Zi they would be able to eliminate thempletely besides they were here for him anyway. This was retaliation for Feng Zi killing Banhen. While one was reloading the rocketuncher they focused their fire in Feng Zi''s direction with bullets raining down on him like summer rain.


    Wen Qinxi could onlyy t covering his head praying they did run out of bullets soon. Judging the situation, Qie Ranzhe yelled, "Hand me the assault rifle!"


    Zhao Huangzhi listened but she was a little slow in her actions stalling for time hopping Feng Zi will get shot. With the rifle in her hands she deliberately dyed handing it over but Qie Ranzhe immediately grabbed it out her hand and skillfully spun the car 180 degrees and fired the assault rifle with one hand on the wheel.


    Qie Ranzhe wasn''t just a General in name, he was a skilled marksman before he got promoted and this exact situation was his ying field. With just two shots he took out the two cars while seamlessly driving in reverse. The two vehicles collided causing a hell raising explosion that had Zhao Huangzhi curled up into a ball in terror.


    With the nightmare over Qie Ranzhe caught up with two soilders driving into the horizon like the explosion earlier on had nothing to do with them. After scouting for a more suitable ce to stop the two vehicles pulled up in between some boulders concealing them from iing threats. Qie Ranzhe had one of the soldiers on the look out while Wen Qinxi dressed the sergeant''s wounds.


    Why did Wen Qinxi have to do it? It was because Zhao Huangzhi waspletely useless shaking like a leaf with an ashen face. It made the sergeant question how this woman was promoted tomander without going intobat? Well that''s because her father owned thepany that sold pendants that kept humans from transforming into their beast form making him the second most powerful man in the world.


    Wen Qinxi finished helping the sergeant and took out his phone to call Airen. He was in desperate need of back up just in case this happens again. The scorching heat from the sun and the overstimtion had he sweating like a pig so he decisively took of his shirt while talking to Airen.


    Seeing Qie Ranzhee back down from the boulder, Zhao Huangzhi ran over fixing her hair along the way. She was evidently a wreck and needed Qie Ranzhe to soothe her.


    Out of the blue, Qie Ranzhe was suddenly hugged with his shoulder soaked in tears. He wanted to push her away as he was still pissed off by her disobedient actions but his heart softened when he felt her trembling body. He was about to pat her hair in a soothing motion when he saw a certain someone on the phone pacing around shirtless.


    He suddenly let go of Zhao Huangzhi and yelled, "Hey, put your t-shirt back on!" Wen Qinxi who was telling Airen not to give Qie Xieling the phone was startled and stared at Qie Ranzhe with a ''what the fuck'' expression. Even if he was to ask Qie Ranzhe right now why he was making a fuss out of nothing, the General wouldn''t even know how to answer. Maybe seeing that glossy pale skin glimmering under the sun enhancing Feng Zi''s toned muscles had Qie Ranzhe feeling insecure. Maybe he was worried Zhao Huangzhi would find Feng Zi attractive. Whatever the reason, Feng Zi wasn''t allowed to run around shirtless.


    Wen Qinxi sneered at him and carried on with his t-shirt on his shoulders. He wasn''t in the mood to deal with a madman but Qie Ranzhe naturally wouldn''t let it go.


    He simply walked over and grabbed the t-shirt off Feng Zi''s shoulder. In a split second, Feng Zi''s once exposed chest was fully covered. Satisfied Qie Ranzhe said, "You better keep it on," before waking away to check on the sergeant.


    Wen Qinxi, "...."


    Zhao Huangzhi,"....."


    Sergeant, "..."


    Wen Qinxi was about to retaliate and take it off once more but he was interrupted by a cute voice through the phone. "Dad I miss you," shamelessly said Qie Xieling.


    Wen Qinxi, "....."


    It was then that he realised, Qie Ranzhe and Qie Xieling were definitely cut from the same cloth. They were both shameless.

 Chapter 214: Third World: Innocent General

    Chapter 214: Third World: Innocent General


    As the beautiful sun reached the horizon with its yellowish red glow creating a picturesque scenery, the party of five finally arrived to a the desert city known ck Oasis. For such a high density poption to thrive in the desert it was because of an abundance in red diamond, the rarest of them all. This made a harsh environment seem like paradise.


    The three were on a rooftop opposite a popr brothel disguised as a nightclub. Their target, Fui Gen, thest known individual to have had contact with Feng Yu though the so called contact could be better described as a beating. This man owned and run all the nightclubs in ck Oasis but behind the curtain he was running a human trafficking ring for his brothels.


    How he fell on Feng Yu''s radar was because he trafficked the wrong person. That person was rted to Feng Yu somehow hence the unfortunate beating thatnded him in aa for two months. Ever since then Fui Gen''s business seemed to diminish even the simplest of people could tell this was the futile attempts for survival by a fish out of water. Feng Yu was definitely still screwing with him in the background.


    Now these three people were on a stakeout waiting for Fui Gen to appear. Blending in with inky dark night the three patiently waited for their target. Zhao Huangzhi was surprisingly behaving herself not causing trouble making this stakeout that could have been a blood bath rather peaceful.


    Wen Qinxi held out his binocrs scouting the nightclub door. Two giant bouncers with panda pendants caught his interest. He couldn''t help but smile imagining himself taking their pendants away so he could see two giant pandas. "General.....," he said but there was no response. "Qie Ranzhe.....," he called out again but there was still no response. "Ran-ge...," said Wen Qinxi in a loud whisper now looking in Qie Ranzhe''s direction with a sly smile stered on his face.


    "What!" finally responded Qie Ranzhe with a hint of annoyance, his eyes looking through the sniper scope.


    "Since those two bouncers can transform into giant pandas are they also protected by the animal conservationws.....haha," asked Wen Qinxi followed by wheezyughter. In the real world pandas are protected byw and the nerd couldn''t resist making a weird joke.


    Qie Ranzhe, "..."


    "Oh, oh wait. How about this. Can they be used for diplomacy with other countries? Let''s say we run out of actual pandas so we can just send in these guys....hahahaha. it''s actually a good deal for our allies because they are smart pandas...hahaha....imagine a panda doing dishes....hahahaha," said Wen Qinxi losing himself in his nerd humor with a tear flowing down at the corner of his eye. Panda diplomacy is an actual thing but who would have guessed Wen Qinxi would make a joke out of it.


    Zhao Huangzhi had never seen this version of Feng Zi making her unconsciously move a few inches away as she was sitting in between the two men.


    "That''s stupid," said Qie Ranzhe with his eyes still on the nightclub with the inky dark night covering up the smile on his face.


    Wen Qinxi didn''t care if theyughed or not cause he found it amusing. He couldn''t wait to try the joke on Airenter on. Thinking of Airen, Wen Qinxi immediately received a message from her reporting her ETA and as he locked his now cracked phone with Qie Xieling''s image as a wallpaper he suddenly had an idea.


    "General, have you had a sexual encounter with a woman that could have resulted in you having a kid?" asked Wen Qinxi facing straight ahead which became somewhat difficult when he felt a searing gaze boring through his skin making him feel ufortable.


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t know why Feng Zi would ask such a personal question but Zhao Huangzhi who had seen that wallpaper immediately understood. She also wanted to know the answer to that question so she didn''t scold Feng Zi for infringing on Qie Ranzhe''s privacy. She had been by the General''s side most of the time even in the academy and knew almost everyone he came in contact with.


    If that kid from that phone was Qie Ranzhe''s offspring she naturally wanted to know. She was curious to know which woman actually managed to seduce this iceberg of a man. In the past, she had tried to seduce him but failed making her suspect he had an unmentionable problem down south.


    "No, I haven''t slept with anyone. I am reserving myself for my wedding night," answered Qie Ranzhe honestly but his face was burning in embarrassment. Zhao Huangzhi couldn''t help but rx hearing that but Wen Qinxi, on the other hand, could barely hold on. He knew Qie Xieling wasn''t his but he assumed the man had plenty of experience considering how horny he was in the second world. If the two of them didn''t do it twice each day then they were probably fighting.


    "Pfft....well that''smendable General. I will give you a medal of chastityter," said Wen Qinxi secretly d that no one had tainted his man yet.


    Qie Ranzhe could sense the mockery in Feng Zi''s tone so he curiously asked, "And you?"


    Wen Qinxi didn''t expect to be asked such a question but since he had asked then he would answer honestly. The character Feng Zi had already had his fair share of sexual encounters. He might have loved Zhao Huangzhi but that didn''t stop him from venting his frustrations in bed. The man was a handsome underworld Boss with a lot of women sneaking into his sheets so who would me him.


    "Yeah, I have slept with twelve....no thirteen women. Maybe fourteen not so sure but from now on I will only sleep with the one I like," replied Wen Qinxi but he was no longer knee deep in the conversation as he spotted a dark figure simr to Fui Gen.

 Chapter 215: Third World: Ugly Duckling

    Chapter 215: Third World: Ugly Duckling


    Qie Ranzhe maintained a solemn expression seeming as though he was scouting seriously but his mind was elsewhere. He wasn''t pleased, to be more exact he was upset with Feng Zi''s confession with his jaw clenched tightly. Why he was upset? It was aplete mystery to him but it roused hispetitive spirit. He wanted to try but his nature wouldn''t allow him to have a casual encounters. He turned his head to look at Zhao Huangzhi who in turn blushed being stared at like this by Qie Ranzhe.


    She pretended to be timid but internally she was kowtowing to the gods. She was finally going to tie Qie Ranzhe down.


    Qie Ranzhe who was contemting on this ridiculous idea was soon interrupted when Feng Zi said, "He''s here. Check 30 degrees to your right," drawing all his attention.


    "How are we going to get him without spilling blood? Getting into the nightclub is no problem but getting close to Fui Gen is. The man has been spending more on security than his business...The only thing that can grasp the pervert''s attention is a beautiful woman," said Wen Qinxi watching the man disappear into the club. After a few seconds of waiting, there was no response so Wen Qinxi turned to look at the people beside him only to find them looking at him with malicious intentions.


    "What?"asked Wen Qinxi sensing a bad premonition.


    "I wonder where we can find a beautiful woman who is also part of the underworld and can get Fui Gen talking," said Zhao Huangzhi with a proud smile on her face like a kid who had just gotten first ce in the entire grade. They already knew how they lost Feng Zi thest time. It was because he was dressed like a woman so of course, they did use that same trick now.


    "Fuck no!" yelled Wen Qinxi expressing his displeasure but thirty minutester he was in a dress with heavy makeup turning him into a drag queen. He felt so ufortable in this red maxi dress with slits in front exposing both his thighs. He had fun in the first world acting on stage but that was for charity but this was to flirt with a man.


    "Fuck!" yelled Wen Qinxi stepping out of the changing room in another nearby nightclub after Qie Ranzhe coerced thedies to assist them. The cold breeze went up his skirt making him feel cold in ces he shouldn''t be thus he was highly irritable. He would rather fire his way into the nightclub right now but they were outnumbered. Even with the psycho setting, he couldn''t guarantee Qie Ranzhe''s safety so he had no choice.


    The system wanted to make fun of Wen Qinxi but it wasn''t stupid enough to pop up now when Wen Qinxi was obviously in a horrible mood. Too bad Zhao Huangzhi didnt have the system''s insight and insisted on taunting Feng Zi.


    "Such an ugly duckling. Hahaha Fui Gen would most definitely not fall for this ruse," she said staring at him with a look of disgust.


    Wen Qinxi was already at the edge which meant even a small insult would tip him over thus he drew Qie Ranzhe''s weapon out of its holster and aimed at Zhao Huangzhi. Qie Ranzhe was caught by surprise and immediately grabbed Feng Zi''s arm disarming him. "Don''t be rash," said Qie Ranzhe pinning Feng Zi''s arm behind Feng Zi''s back bringing them dangerously close.


    Qie Ranzhe''s heart rate skyrocket causing him to unconsciously furrow his brows. He wanted to let go of Feng Zi as he was pulling on the man''s shoulder but he found himself unable to. He felt his palm heat up as he lingered on holding Feng Zi''s wrist. He had done multiple training sessions were he pinned down the trainees but never had this strange reaction. He and Feng Zi had physically fought each other numerous times before but never had he ever felt this way.


    Creeped out he eventually let go deaf to Feng Zi''sints. His murky brain finally cleared up after letting go but he was met with Feng Zi''s angry retorts. "What the fuck are you trying to do? Break my arm?....AH!...Don''t fuckin interfere. If she has the balls to call someone ugly duckling then naturally she has the strength to withstand a beating," yelled Wen Qinxi before addressing Zhao Huangzhi who was hiding behind the general, "You are good at talking shit but hide behind this asshole. Watch your back because I am going to fuck you up the first chance I get."


    Wen Qinxi was so pissed off that he rudely bumped into Qie Ranzhe on the way out angrily walking away while mumbling something inaudible. He really hated this world so much. In the past world he barely interacted with Zhao Huangzhi but now she was stuck to his hip like a parasite, a parasite he couldn''t kill.


    Just as he decided to get away from these two andplete the mission by himself, Qie Ranzhe finally caught up with him and grasped his elbow turning Feng Zi around to face him. With their gazes locked together, Qie Ranzhe said, "You don''t look like an ugly duckling....you look handsome," in such a sincere tone that had Wen Qinxi''s insides melt into a puddle.


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t just say it to tter Feng Zi, he genuinely meant it. From day one, Feng Zi was easy on the eye and nice to look at which is one of the reasons why didn''t resist his advances as much as he did with everyone else. Sure, he wasn''t the most handsome in the entire school but his appearance intrigued Qie Ranzhe and didn''t find it appalling to be friends with him.


    "Don''t pay attention to her. She''s just being spiteful. I will reprimand her after this and if she doesn''t change I will directly send her back to headquarters," he continued but Wen Qinxi didn''t hear anything after handsome. Feeling like he had a shot to take back what belongs to him he asked the system, ''Jolie, how do you be a certified homewrecker?''


    The system, ''....''


    ''Boss that''s not ethical,'' said the system but Wen Qinxi didn''t respond as a radiant smile gradually appeared on his face giving Qie Ranzhe goosebumps all over his body. That smile was dangerous enough to topple down nations so how could the inexperienced general be immune?


    "See you inside the nightclub," said Wen Qinxi removing the General''s hand from his elbow before walking away once more.


    Qie Ranzhe felt his skin crawl where he was held by Feng Zi and the feeling was surprisingly nice. He somehow found himself foolishly smiling while scratching his head in the dark street. Little did he know that his heart no longer belonged to him.

 Chapter 216: Third World: Fui Geis demise

    Chapter 216: Third World: Fui Gei''s demise


    Just like a puppy trying to chomp downa dinosaur bone that''s exactly how Wen Qinxi felt. No other saying other than ''bite off more than you can chew'' can best describe his current situation. He had been roped into dressing up but he had the slightest inkling on how to flirt with a man. With Qie Ranzhe it came naturally but now he waspelled to flirt his way past Fui Gen''s iron d security.


    Frustrated he sat by the bar facing the VIP section where Fui Gen was surrounded by gorgeousdies with a table full of expensive bottles and sses filled with sparkly champagne. How was he supposed to outshine all these women? Anxious, Wen Qinxi ordered a shot of vodka and guzzled it down in one go.The burning bitter taste flowed down his throat making him grimace but it effectively took the edge off.


    ''I am so fuckin nervous. How am l supposed to flirt my way past the flock of hens?'' said Wen Qinxi addressing the system.


    The system knew this task would end in disaster if Wen Qinxi used his own ability to actually flirt. It would be extremely awkward and robotic as this nerd was only good at programming. The good thing was that the character Feng Zi was bonkers enough to handle such a situation so it adviced, ''Boss, you are overthinking this. All you need to do is use your psycho setting, problem solved.''


    Wen Qinxi was naturally delighted to hear that but he didn''t miss that ''praise me'' tone used by the system so he retorted, ''You must be fuckin kidding me. You want me to praise you for doing your job?''


    ''You know I could have been scamming money out of the nerds in the game room or better yet the doctor, that guy has deep pockets and a horrible luck in gambling. I let go of such a golden goose so I could be here with you. Boss you are so heartless.....wuwuwu,'' said the system putting up a pity party forgetting who it was talking to.


    Wen Qinxi facemed himself and exposed the system, ''You are just here to watch a good show. You think I don''t know that you shared the footage of me escaping that base and made those nerds pay to watch the clip. Such a con artist.''


    He was right, the entire supply closet ordeal was recorded and shared to the nerds in theb who had a blust at his expense. Realizing a new revenue stream, the system shamelessly looked for other embarrassing moments to share which is why it was hanging around ever so often.


    Caught off guard the system felt so vulnerable with all it''s shady business aired out. ''Do you want thatpanion system that bad? Nevermind go make yourself useful elsewhere,'' replied Wen Qinxi just as his gaze met Qie Ranzhe''s.


    The man had chosen an auspicious dark corner watching his every move with hawk like eyes. Wen Qinxi felt giddy knowing that the man was peering at him so he shed Qie Ranzhe with azy smile before walking towards the VIP section.


    Qie Ranzhe who had been staring this entire time was suddenly caught making him avert his gaze like a kid that just had been caught gawking at candy. Even he didn''t understand why he was feeling guilty for staring. Wasn''t he just simply concerned for Feng Zi''s safety which is why he was watching so close? So why was he looking away like he had been caughtmitting a crime.


    While the general was pondering over his own odd behavior, Fui Gen had a brow raised with his gaze locked onto an enchanting goddess that appeared out of nowhere. With his lustful dark gaze he watched the girl in the red dress walk through the crowd like a rose petal gently swaying with the river, graceful and dazzling.


    She couldn''t be described as the most beautiful in the club but she was an enchantress in her own unique way. Such ineffable unattainable beauty was the kind he loved to ravish so he stretched out his hand and beckoned her toe over.


    A sly grin showed on his face as he watched this rakish beauty obediently walk over but he suddenly felt an pressurizing eeriness that made his hair curl up but when he scanned around for the person who had the audacity to glower at him he couldn''t see anyone. He soon brushed it off when his new obsession appeared right in front of him.


    "I don''t like to share," said Wen Qinxi in a modted voice that had Fui Gen''s blood rushing like it was on steroids. He immediately had the flock of hens disappear but they obviously weren''t happy about it passing contemptuous looks at the vixen as they walked away.


    Confident in his steps, Wen Qinxi strode over and sat next to Fui Gen with his toned thighs exposed. This was too much temptation for Fui Gen that he stretched out his hand trying to touch the porcin jade like skin thinking he did be stupid not to take advantage of such a great opportunity. Just as he was about to touch down his arm was suddenly painfully grasped and stabbed through nailing his hand on the counter.


    The man let out a loud shriek that had his guards rushing over but the knife stabbing through his hand was ruthlessly taken out and found itself on his throat as a husky voice said, "You know what to do if you don''t want to die."


    The familiar voice made Fui Gen temporarily ignore his pain as he carefully scrutinised that face. His gaze suddenly fell on the person''s arm and all he could mutter was, "Shit!" recognizing the tattoo. He had somehow managed to offend Feng Zi just as he recovered from offending Feng Yu.


    "You know who I am, right?" said Wen Qinxi as the de sank deeper into Fui Gen''s skin leaving behind a light streak of blood. "I know...I know...I fuckin know. Stand down you morons," said a panicked Fui Genmanding his man to lower their weapons.

 Chapter 217: Third World: Daddy Looks Pretty

    Chapter 217: Third World: Daddy Looks Pretty


    A creepy satisfied smile appeared on Feng Zi''s face terrifying the old man. Leaning in so close he said, "You like trafficking young girls, don''t you? Did you want to turn me into a sex ve as well?" his tone gentle but to Fui Gen it made his blood run cold in terror.


    Fui Gen''s terror was definitely warranted as the knife on his throat was directly stabbed on his thigh with Feng Zi''s face so close to his. The man covered his mouth blocking out Fui Gen''s blood curdling screams.


    The knife was twisted in scrapping his bone that Fui Gen felt like fainting but it was pointless as Feng Zi somehow managed to keep him awake. "Young master Feng please be reasonable. I will leave the business andpensate the girls before letting them go as long as you spare my life," pled Fui Gen as soon as his mouth was free. The man was evidently more terrified of Feng Zi than Feng Yu. He had even dared to touch this devil, a crime punishable by death.


    "Okay, cool then. Please make necessary arrangements," replied Wen Qinxi pointing the bloodstained knife at Fui Gen''s right handman. The brawny man dashed out the room with his tail in between his legs not daring to dy a minute longer.


    "No-now can you let me go?" asked the motified Fui Gen who intended to skip town after this.


    "Actually.....no," said Wen Qinxi wiping the blood off the knife on Fui Gen''s clothes, "I need to know Feng Yu''s whereabouts. Do you know where he is?"


    Fui Gen vigorously shook his head. He really didn''t know where Feng Yu was neither did he want to know especially after that fierce beating. He couldn''t help but feel like he had rotten luck having to have met this father and son pair.


    "Then you are of no use to me. I might as well kill you," said Wen Qinxi in a menacing voice that sent Fui Gen in a panic.


    "No, no, no.....don''t kill me. I know someone who knows where he is," said Fui Gen almost breaking out in tears, "it''s that girl, Nu Shen. She knows.....she knows where he is. She stays in the bordends."


    Wen Qinxi genuinely smiled and leaned in closer to pat Fui Gen''s cheek saying, "Good job. You just earned yourself a headstart. I will be sending my hounds after you so use your time wisely," but just as he was about to stand up his hand that was still on Fui Gen''s cheek was suddenly seized.


    Perplexed, Wen Qinxi raised his head wondering who had the balls to touch him but he rxed when he saw it Qie Ranzhe but the general didn''t seem right.


    As though he was out of his mind, he dragged Feng Zi up and fired his gun without thinking twice. In the blink of an eye, Fui Gen was dead startling everyone even Wen Qinxi.


    ''What the fuck!'' eximed Wen Qinxi in his heart. Qie Ranzhe had somehow managed to screw things up as the guards suddenly drew their weapons aimed at the two of them as the terrified guests ran out of the nightclub.


    "Seriously, are you stupid or you fuckin lost your mind?" asked Wen Qinxi trying to free himself from Qie Ranzhe''s grasp. They were seriously out numbered and this ''all brawn no brain'' man had just killed off their ticket out of here. With no leverage, they were surely going to die.


    Qie Ranzhe didnt reply pulling Feng Zi behind him in a protective stance. He didn''t know why he was so impulsive just now but he hated Fui Gen so much and knew that man shouldn''t walk out of here alive. "I couldn''t help it," he finally said looking remorseful.


    "Of course you couldn''t," said Wen Qinxi in a displeased tone.


    Fui Gen''s second inmand finally couldn''t take this couple''s squabble and said, "Are you done with your lover''s spat so we can finally end this?"


    "Watch your fuckin mouth," said a familiar voice just as a group of men and woman entered the nightclub from all sides. Fui Gen''s men were suddenly surrounded with Airen pulling the trigger killing off the mouthy man who had the audacity to disrespect Feng Zi earlier.


    Wen Qinxi had never been this d to see Airen and he expressed it by rushing over to her causing the general to frown in dissatisfaction. Airen broke out in unrestrainedughter when he saw Feng Zi in a dress even going as far as squeezing the peaks on his chest asking, "What is this? Are they socks?"


    Her hand was suddenly smacked before Wen Qinxi walked out saying, "take care of the rest." He was in desperate need of some fresh air and so excited the nightclub while taking out his makeshift boobs that also made a fine pair of socks in winter.


    "Boss, wait there is something I forg-," said Airen running after Feng Zi but she didn''t get to finish her sentence when Qie Xieling suddenly ran over to Feng Zi and hugged him.


    Wen Qinxi, "...."


    "That''s what I was trying to tell you," said Airen. Qie Xieling was meant to stay behind but who was she kidding, the boy managed to sneak in and hide. They only discovered him halfway through the journey. By then, it was toote to go back.


    "Dad did you miss me...a, daddy looks pretty," said Qie Xieling hugging Wen Qinxi''s thighs with a beaming smile


    "Dad?" asked Qie Ranzhe who had shown up at some point only to witness such a harmonious scene. He stood rooted on the spot in disbelief. Feng Zi was someone''s father.


    Wen Qinxi tensed up a little and said "Why are you so shameless? Did Airen teach you to say that?" before turning to face the General with a stiff smile, "kids, right?"


    He swiftly picked up Qie Xieling and whispered to the boy, "You are in big trouble young man," darting away like his arse was on fire.


    Puzzled, Qie Ranzhe was left standing there in the dark watching the two figures disappear into the night.

 Chapter 218: Third World: Xielings Art Of Manipulation

    Chapter 218: Third World: Xieling''s Art Of Maniption


    Having sessfully ran off with Qie Xieling, Wen Qinxi felt his stomach grumbling followed by a twisting pain. He had just taken a shot of vodka on an empty stomach which wasn''t good so he scouted around for a restaurant but stumbled upon a hotel. Judging from its appearance it could be rated three star at best but Wen Qinxi didn''t mind so he walked in with Qie Xieling in his arms.


    Seeing the pair of mother and son enter, the friendly stuff were all smiles with the female employees fawning over the cute dumpling, Qie Xieling.


    "He''s so adorable. Miss how old is he?" asked the receptionist with a look of admiration struggleling to hold back from pinching the cutie''s plump cheek.


    Wen Qinxi stared at the seemingly obedient dumpling who was wrapping his arms around Wen Qinxi''s neck and suddenly had a moment of realization. He had got it all wrong in the past. If he wanted to attract women''s attention all he needed was an adorable kid or pet and they would all flock around to talk to him. Too bad he was already bent. ''Would that method work on Qie Ranzhe in the real world,'' he thought with a sly smile.


    "I am six years old and my dad is not a miss," corrected Qie Xieling with a displeased look. He didn''t like his dad being identified as a woman even though he was wearing a dress.


    The receptionist''s eyes widened in surprise, it was unclear what she was thinking. That once genuine smile had turned stiff staring at that t chest that seemed robust. "Sorry sir, how may I help you?"


    Wen Qinxi didn''t give a rat''s arse what this woman was thinking and immediately asked for a table in their restaurant. The receptionist called over someone to send them away and as soon as Wen Qinxi left she immediately began to gossip with her coworkers.


    "How can a man with such a hobby raise a child? What kind of influence would he have on him?" said the receptionist pointing in the direction of the dinning hall.


    "It should be made a illegal for people like that to raise kids," replied the gossipy manager with a look of disdain.


    Lucky for them Wen Qinxi didn''t hear what they said otherwise they would be apanying Fui Gen in death. He was already seated with Qie Xieling looking through the menu.


    "Lin Lin you should stop calling me dad," said Wen Qinxi with the menu covering his face. He actually wouldn''t mind being called dad as it was way better than being called uncle but the kid was just too simr to Qie Ranzhe which would only bring unnecessary trouble. "Call me Dage, try it with with me," he said putting down the menu but he was met by tear filled doe eyes making Qie Xieling''s appearance look more pitiable.


    "You don''t want to be my dad?" asked Qie Xieling his lips downturned as a solo tear flowed down his cheek.


    Seeing this, Wen Qinxi felt guilty, his heart feeling like it had been scratched deeply leaving behind a scar. He didn''t think Qie Xieling would cry. Without thinking twice, he embraced Qie Xieling and said, "Okay.....okay, shhhhh don''t cry. I am sorry I was wrong," suddenly feeling like that one mom who has a crying kid on a ne with everyone giving off judgy looks.


    "So....so you don''t want me? Am I too ugly to call you dad," said a tear faced Qie Xieling sniffling but he was actually grinning like the Grinch behind Wen Qinxi''s back.


    The art of maniption was an inborn talent for Qie Xieling and lucky for him Wen Qinxi hadn''t discovered it yet.


    "Its fine you can call me dad, okay. Just don''t cry," said Wen Qinxi stroking the child''s hair but just as he said that Qie Xieling parted from him and said,


    "Good, then let''s eat. I am hungry."


    Wen Qinxi, "...."


    ''Did this brat y me? He most definitely yed me,'' thought Wen Qinxi his brows knitted together while staring at the now calm Qie Xieling. Wen Qinxi didn''t have much time to interrogate him because Airen suddenly showed up and joined them for dinner which reminded him of his panda joke.


    "Airen-jie, let me ask you something...hahaha.....are humans that transform to pandas protected under conservationws?" he boldly asked crossing his fingers that Airen would find it funny but to his surprise she said,


    "Boss, you are a freaking pheonix. You transform into a mythical species so should you be protected by conservationws?"


    ''Fuck!'' thought Wen Qinxi not confident enough to mention his panda diplomacy joke. "You couldn''t even save your boss some face, huh!" said a dejected Wen Qinxi picking up his menu once more. That''s when he heard childlike gigglesing from Qie Xieling who was sitting beside him.


    "Good job, Lin Lin. You are off on a good start to being a filial son," said Wen Qinxi patting his head.


    Just as food was served, Qie Ranzhe and Zhao Huangzhi happened to show up right on time and didn''t hesitate to join them. This instantly made the once harmonious atmosphere tense with the two party crashers staring at Qie Xieling with interest.


    Between the two of them Qie Ranzhe was the most confused because he knew he hadn''t bedded anyone so how could there be a kid who looked exactly like him. His bewildered expression fell in Feng Zi''s line of sight as though seeking some kind of exnation and Wen Qinxi obviously noticed.


    "Ran-ge don''t overthink it. The fact that he looks like you is just pure coincidence. I found him in the desert and took him in," exined Wen Qinxi with a nervous smile on his face. What was he supposed to say. General this is our love child from another world? Boy, wouldn''t he look stupid saying that.


    Qie Ranzhe easied up a little. He was actually suspecting that Feng Zi stole his sperm found a surrogate and had them give birth to a kid who happened to look exactly like him. If that was the case then Feng Zi must have missed their friendship and decided on this method so he can regain what they lost. But that kind of scenario would be pure lunacy, right? Feng Zi is crazy but not a lunatic.

    Chapter 219: Third World: Ranzhe vs Xieling Round 1


    Seeing that Qie Ranzhe didn''t respond, Wen Qinxi began to panic a little. Who knows what crazy things this CEO was cooking up in that broken brain of his. He turned to Airen as though seeking assistance and Airen immediately understood and said, "He''s probably your doppelganger so please be reassured General."


    Qie Ranzhe seemed a bit convinced but he didn''t respond ncing over at Qie Xieling who was being spoilt by Feng Zi. Besides having food ced on his bowl, Feng Zi would asionally feed him leaving Qie Ranzhe withplicated feelings.


    The general might have taken it well but Zhao Huangzhi wasn''t satisfied by this answer so she said, "What''s your name?" folding her arms across her chest staring at the boy.


    Qie Xieling finally took note of thedy wearing an ugly face and said, "I am Q-," but his mouth was suddenly stuffed with a piece of roasted pork. Startled, he turned to look at Feng Zi.


    "His name is Lin Lin," replied Wen Qinxi on Qie Xieling''s behalf. Wouldn''t it seem crazier if they found out the Qie Ranzhe look alike was also surnamed Qie.


    Zhao Huangzhi''s brows furrowed deeper even more suspicious. It was obvious, Feng Zi was hiding something but she didn''t have enough evident to expose him. "Where are your parents?" she asked with a pompous look like a detective that was about to crack the case.


    Qie Xieling didn''t miss that look and decided he didn''t like her. "I don''t know. I have lived in an orphanage for as long as I can remember. I could only recall my name," replied Qie Xieling fiddling with the pendant hung around his neck. It was then that Zhao Huangzhi caught sight of the animal carved on the pendant.


    Her eyes widened in surprise. This kid not only resembled Qie Ranzhe but coincidentally transformed into a dragon as well. Her blood boiled in anger. There could only be one possibility which was Qie Ranzhe was lying. He definitely got a woman pregnant and somehow Feng Zi stumbled upon Qie Ranzhe''s estranged child. As to the reason why Feng Zi would keep that child by his side? It was to manipte Qie Ranzhe.


    Having reached the most usible conclusion she stood up and stomped away in anger hoping Qie Ranzhe would follow behind and cate her. Ten minutester, Zhao Huangzhi had been standing outside throwing a fit but Qie Ranzhe still hadn''t made his appearance.


    What she didn''t know was that the person she was patiently waiting for was scowling at Feng Zi who was attracting unnecessary attention. One man was actually brazen enough to approach them and ask for Feng Zi''s number. Before Feng Zi could even reject him three people one woman, one kid and one man fiercely red at him chasing him off with their hostility.


    "Feng Zi, why didn''t you change your clothes? I can see your exposed thighs from here," said Qie Ranzhe his expression that of disapproval..


    Wen Qinxi unconsciously covered up his thighs with a flush creeping up his face as he retorted, "What the fudge does that have to do with you?"


    Hearing the word fudge, Qie Xieling suddenly sprung up excitedly saying, "Fudge? Do you have some," tugging at Feng Zi''s sleeve.


    Wen Qinxi couldn''t understand this kid''s obsession with fudge so he thought it best to exin to prevent future misunderstandings. "No, dad will be swearing when he says fudge," exined Wen Qinxi resulting in the two adults at the table staring at him funny.


    "So...no fudge?" said a disappointed Qie Xieling with his head drooping dejectedly.


    "No fudge.....but tomorrow I will buy you ice cream," said Wen Qinxi patting Qie Xieling''s head cating the little ancestor but it only warranted him another look of disapproval from Qie Ranzhe.


    Feeling Qie Ranzhe''s stare, Wen Qinxi asked, "What?" wondering how he had offended the big ancestor.


    "Sugar is not good for him," said the general in an overly superior voice that had the three people at the table galring at him.


    Wen Qinxi suddenly felt like he had been called a bad mum in public and so had to shut this man up. "Here eat some more so you can stop sprouting nonsense," shoving fried spinach into the man''s mouth.


    Qie Ranzhe was happy at first having been recognized disregarding that Feng Zi had yet again broken one of his rules feeding him with chopsticks the man had just used. But his heart soon turned a little sour when he realised that the Lin kid got meat yet he got vegetables. How was this fair? So he went back to being a nuisance.


    "Cover up," said Qie Ranzhe tossing his coat at Feng Zi. Seeing Feng Zi obediently put on the coat, Qie Ranzhe felt a bubbly feeling inside but his blissful moment was soon dampened when the Lin kid chimed in,


    "Dad looks good in whatever he wants to wear. Who cares, let them stare till their eyeballs fall off," smiling innocently at his cross dressed dad.


    Qie Ranzhe wasn''t sure what annoyed him more, the kid openly opposing him or the kid calling Feng Zi dad. He had a gut feeling that from now on he and this kid would be butting heads in the future.


    Airen and Feng Zi could sense the lightning sparks between Qie Ranzhe and Qie Xieling making this situation a little awkward. She almost confident that the General was going to spank Qie Xieling. Airen was an assassin in the military and had gone through countless deadly situations but this situation had her spooked enough to excuse herself.


    "I need to retouch my makeup so excuse me," said Airen standing up to leave but Wen Qinxi easily read through her uncreative lie,


    "What makeup? Ever since I have known you the only thing close to makeup that you put on your face is a facemask?"


    Airen wore a ''what the fuck'' expression having being sold out and decided to change her excuse saying, "Ate too much sushi. I have a running tummy," clutching her abdomen before running away in huge strides.


    "Who exactly is running here? Your stomach or you? No loyalty whatsoever," he muttered before turning around only to find the two eating while ring at each other. Too keep the peace, Wen Qinxi took Qie Xieling''s chopsticks and said, "let''s go, bedtime," before carrying him.


    The once ck expression on Qie Xieling''s face vanished reced by an adorable visage that could drive girls crazy. "But I am not done," said Qie Xieling in protest.


    "Yes you are. You can raid the minibar in the room if you are still hungry. Your dad can afford it," before whisking him away.


    Having won by default, Qie Ranzhe seemed pleased with himself and followed behind to pay the bill. His victory was short lived because Zhao Huangzhi suddenly made a reappearance like a vicious ghosting seeking vengeance ruining his night.

 Chapter 220: Third World: Xielings Allergy To Bubble Baths

    Chapter 220: Third World: Xieling''s Allergy To Bubble Baths


    It ismon sense that if you keep sweeping things under the rag at some point a lump will protrude from underneath exposing your secrets to everyone. Well, his statement was especially true for Zhao Huangzhi as her filthy lies and secrets were exposed. When she met Qie Ranzhe at the reception she wanted to throw a fit and yell at him and so she began to cause a raucous.


    Qie Ranzhe naturally could see through her so he dragged her away to a room he had reserved and as soon as he closed the door, she began to spit fire with her poisonous tongue. "What do you think you are doing? He''s a criminal not your friend. How will your father react when he finds out that you two are sharing a table like old buddies. Aren''t you afraid you would get implicated too? People will think you purposefully helped Feng Zi steal the crystal," she said her face red with rage.


    Qie Ranzhe was silent the entire time seemingly unperturbed by the hysterical woman. He leisurely strolled over to the minibar and took out a small bottle of vodka. In unhurried steps, he sat onfy chair before unscrewing the bottle cap while staring at her.


    Being stared at like this Zhao Huangzhi swallowed hard before carrying on with her voice a bit softer. "That boy is your kid, right?"


    Qie Ranzhe finally paused his actions and responded, "No, he''s not mine," in a somber tone before drinking half of the small bottle.


    Zhao Huangzhi thought he would tell the truth but it turns out the man chose to deny it. Did he think she was stupid? "Why are you fuckin lying to me. He looks like you, he even transforms into a dragon and he''s as stubborn as you. Hell, his mannerisms are even the same as yours yet you dare deny it. Do I look stupid to you?"


    Qie Ranzhe could understand why she dide to that conclusion but if he said that kid isn''t his then he isn''t. Frustrated, he massaged his forehead while saying, "I said he''s not mine, now drop it."


    The word ''drop it'' seemed to fan the mes for Zhao Huangzhi with her rage spiralling out of control as she began to yell tossing things in the room. "Such a fuckin liar...Qie Ranzhe don''t you fuckin test my patients. Tell me which slut did you sleep with to get that kid!" yelled Zhao Huangzhi followed by loud smashing sounds when Qie Ranzhe didn''t respond.


    Meanwhile, in a room a few doors over. Wen Qinxi had just gotten Qie Xieling to take a bath with great difficulty. He didn''t recall Wen Danzhe fighting as much as Qie Xieling did just not to take a bath. At some point he asked Qie Xieling, "Are you freaking allergic to water or something?" but the response he got was rather shocking. The brat actually dared to stick out his tongue at him and run off.


    In the end, Wen Qinxi triumphed and sessfully caught him cing him in the bubble bath. The feisty baby dragon was finally tamed quietly sitting in the bathtub after being tricked into taking a bath. The shameless adult had actually dared to use fudge as a means to get him in the tub.


    Wen Qinxi was so exhausted sitting on the ground with his back leaning against the bedside. Qie Xieling was now dressed in his cute dinosaur pajamas, his hair dry while holding the stuffed dragon plush toy. Seeing that Feng Zi wasn''t moving, Qie Xieling got off the bed and sat opposite him curiously watching him.


    Wen Qinxi who was being stared at by the little monster asked, "What are you looking at?" while gently flicking Qie Xieling''s forehead.


    "I hate bathing," replied Qie Xieling feeling somewhat guilty for giving Feng Zi a hard time.


    "Mn, I know but you better start liking it otherwise this episode will repeat itself everyday," said Wen Qinxi with a smile that seemed to be challenging Qie Xieling.


    "What? I have to do this everyday?" asked a perplexed Qie Xieling. For the little dumpling, this was simply torture.


    Wen Qinxi rubbed the kid''s head and stood up to ce some grapes in a te when he heard loud noises as though something was being smashed to the ground. Qie Xieling jolted up and ran to Feng Zi, his face petrified. The kid was genuinely frightened as his stay with Grizzly had left a psychological shadow on him.


    "It''s okay. Don''t be scared," said Wen Qinxi in a gentle soothing voice reaching out for his phone, "Here watch this and I will go take a look." Qie Xieling was reluctant to let Feng Zi go but he was utterly helpless staring at the man with eyes that seemed to be begging him to stay.


    Wen Qinxi ignored the sorrowful expression and ced some earphones in Qie Xieling''s ears and searched a kids show online for him to watch. He left Qie Xieling sitting in bed with a te of the grapes and a stern expression like an adult as though watching something seriously. This scene was too cute, he almost wished he could take a picture but dropped the idea when he heard another loud crash.


    Pissed off, he rolled up his sleeves and walked down the corridor looking for the vile person who had the balls to cause trouble and scare Qie Xieling. He even found some guests also peeping out their doors staring at each other in puzzlement while some called the front desk.


    Wen Qinxi didn''t bother with the inquisitive guests and finally stopped at room 898. He loudly knocked the door like a police officer with the noise in the room quieting down. The door was immediately opened with Zhao Huangzhi''s angry face showing up right in front of him. The kind of deadly stare would have any sane person running away but Wen Qinxi wasn''t fazed directly scolding her.


    "Do you want me tomit you into a psychiatric ward? Keep it down or I won''t hold back cause you are a girl," said Wen Qinxi before turning to leave. Qie Ranzhe was still seated in the chair and when he saw Feng Zi he feelt apprehensive but as soon as the man turned to leave after scolding Zhao Huangzhi, he suddenly felt an inexplicable feeling upset that Feng Zi hadn''t acknowledged him.


    Just as Feng Zi turned to leave he saw Zhao Huangzhi raise her hand to strike him so Qie Ranzhe quickly got on his feet and grasped her wrist stopping her in time. "I will take care of this," said Qie Ranzhe to Feng Zi smiling thinly.

 Chapter 221: Third World: Lets Split

    Chapter 221: Third World: Let''s Split


    Wen Qinxi could tell Qie Ranzhe was in a horrible mood so he left immediately only to bump into Airen. Misunderstanding her reason for being outside, he said, "You can go back to bed. I have handled it," while patting her shoulder before going back to his room.


    Actually, Airen didn''t leave. She had a bone to chew with Qie Ranzhe so she silently waited for him toe out. After having found out from Feng Zi earlier on why Qie Ranzhe shot him, she was here to take revenge. She personally witnessed the meticulous care Feng Zi had towards Zhao Huangzhi only to turn around and be used of assault. Airen was not only going to deal with Qie Ranzhe but also his mouthy girlfriend so she stood in wait. One of them was bound toe out soon.


    Qie Ranzhe was naturally unaware of the angry mama bear lying in wait outside his door. He had finally had enough of Zhao Huangzhi and wanted to end the unnecessary drama in his life that sprung up the first day he met her. He even began questioning himself why he was even interested in her in the first ce.


    "Are you done?" asked Qie Ranzhe sitting back down.


    Zhao Huangzhi who had been expecting him to match up with her screaming voice was momentarily stunned. Qie Ranzhe''s exact attitude right now was giving off an ''I don''t give a fuck'' vibe which made her panic a little. Had she taken things too far?


    "W-what do you mean?" she asked her speech incoherent.


    "It seems you said all you wanted to say then it''s my turn to speak," he said his gaze cold and indifferent. Zhao Huangzhi only realised then that something bad was about to happen.


    In genuine panic she cried out, "Ran-ge wh-," but her voice grew silent when Qie Ranzhe ced his index finger on his lip gesturing for her to keep silent. His appearance was calm but terrifying at the same time forcing Zhao Huangzhi to shut her lips tight bing as quiet as a mouse.


    "My next question will determine the direction in which we are headed. If you don''t answer me truthfully then things between us will end badly so I did appreciate it if you are honest with me. Nod if you understand," said Qie Ranzhe with his legs crossed, his arms stretched over the armrests of the chair.


    He was both intimidating and sexy at the same time causing Zhao Huangzhi to momentarily lose herself admiring the man of her dreams. She immediately nodded in agreement and so Qie Ranzhe asked the question. "Did Feng Zi attempt to sexually assault you? Oh.....remember what I said earlier just in case you n to lie to me,"he asked with his index finger gently rubbing against his lower lip.


    Zhao Huangzhi''s body tensed up on tenterhooks as she felt her entire world copse. She was stuck in a dilemma unable to decided what to do. If she told the truth Qie Ranzhe would never trust her again exposing her true nature but if she lied and he found out then the ending would be far worse. There was no other choice, she had to put up a pitiful expression and lie her way out of this. The likelihood of Qie Ranzhe finding out the truth was obviously slim so she forced out some tears and weakened her knees pretending to lose strength.


    She was expecting Qie Ranzhe to catch her but the man didn''t even lift a finger and coldly watched her as she performed an act worthy of the Oscars. "Ran-ge, wuwuwuwuwu, why don''t you believe me? That man did disgusting things to me. He wanted to do to me what those filthy pigs did to your mother. Ran-ge ho-," she said but Qie Ranzhe got so angry that he picked up a bedsidemp and threw it at the wall with a loud Bang!


    "Don''t you fuckin mention my mother. You think I don''t know what you are trying to do?" said Qie Ranzhe his visage still as calm as ever but internally he was fuming. This was the moment he finally saw things clearly just like when the grey dark clouds suddenly clear the skies showcasing the beautiful sun.


    "Let''s split. I can''t be in a rtionship with you anymore," he said before rising to his feet, "You will be departing for Headquarters tomorrow morning and that''s an order." Just like that Qie Ranzhe walked out of the room that looked like it had just gone through a 9.1 megaquake.


    Zhao Huangzhi wanted to beg and stop him from leaving but she found that she couldn''t move. Her entire body was trembling rooted to the ground with tears streaming down her face.


    How could things have ended this way? It didn''t make sense? "Feng Zi, yes. It''s all Feng Zi''s fault. He turned my Ran-ge against me. This was his n.....his n...Feng Zi''s n," she muttered to herself like a crazed maniac.


    "Aaaahhhh!" she screamed while pulling at her hair seeming deranged. After crying herself to death she finally regained herposure. How could she let that criminal have the upper hand?


    "I am Zhao Huangzhi damn it," she said washing her face in the bathroom, "I can''t be toppled over by a mere peasant." After patting her face dry, she took her phone and sat on the bed before dialing a number. It was time to bring the big guns and bring down Feng Zi once and for all.


    In a few rings, a croaky voice was heard threw the phone asking, "Whoever you are you must be courting death calling me at this hour."


    "Fa-father-inw, it''s.....it''s me. I am calling thiste because I have something to tell you," she said with a forced smile on her face.


    "Speak," said the old man on the other side of the call followed by shuffling sounds as though getting out of bed. He decided to ignore the father-inw remark and let her carry on.


    "It''s about Feng Zi....he is manipting the General...

 Chapter 222: Third World: Seduce A Straight Guy, 101

    Chapter 222: Third World: Seduce A Straight Guy, 101


    After dealing with Zhao Huangzhi, Qie Ranzhe felt like a huge weight had been lifted off his shoulders. It still puzzled him why he felt this much relief letting go of Zhao Huangzhi. Maybe it was because he was leaving behind the drama associated with her? Whatever the reason, Qie Ranzhe couldn''t wait to create distance between them.


    The man waspletely engulfed in his tranquil moment that he didn''t see Airen''s attacking. He had just taken three steps down the corridor when Airen who had been silently waiting for him took advantage of his absent mindedness andnded a powerful blow on Qie Ranzhe''s face. The general actually stumbled a few steps backwards with a faint streak of blood flowing at the corner of his mouth. Stunned, Qie Ranzhe touched the corner of his bruised lip with his fingers and vicioulsy red at the coward who dared tounch a sneak attack at him.


    Airen was fully aware of her own strength. She would have never managed to sessfully strike the General head on and had to resort to such an underhanded method to avenge Feng Zi. She didn''t care if her actions would result in a major confrontation, which she would most definitely lose, as long as she had some sort of revenge.


    An unconceble satisfaction crept up on her countenance as she said, "He didn''ty a hand on her yet you shot him for a crime he didn''tmit. If anyone was abused it would him. I watched a dignified man run around like a headless chicken just to meet that bitch''s unreasonable demands. Granted his method was extreme but was that worth him taking a bullet in his abdomen? General how can you be this blind?"


    Qie Ranzhe stood up straight regaining hisposure and said, "Hope you vented out all your anger through this one punch because that''s thest free punch you get," his voice calm yet possessing a menacing undertone.


    Airen felt a cold chill fluidly flow down her spine as Qie Ranzhe passed her heading to who knows where. She had been in the army for years before she was dismissed as unfit for duty when she fell ill and had heard so many rumors about General Qie''s inconceivable strength. Rumors are just rumors unless you experience it first hand and now that she had, she had to say General Qie was a man not to be trifled with.


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t actually go far, he found himself outside Feng Zi''s door. Even though he knew the other might have already retired, he still shamelessly knocked on the door. If he didn''t do this he wouldn''t be able to sleep tonight thus he persisted.


    Qie Ranzhe knocked on the door and waited for thirty seconds but there was no response. There weren''t even sounds of movement in the room which would most likely mean Feng Zi was sleeping but Qie Ranzhe didn''t give up. He knocked once more then again but still there was no response.


    It was only at the fifth try after standing outside for ten minutes did the door finally open a crack with Feng Zi''s damp head of hair peeking out. "What the fuck are you doing? If you wake up Lin Lin I am going to kick your ass," whispered Wen Qinxi with an appalled expression.


    Wen Qinxi who had been taking a shower just now didn''t hear the door. It was only when he closed the tap did hear the knock on the door. As soon as he stepped out of the shower he saw the once peacefully sleeping Qie Xieling bing restless tossing and turning with his eyes tightly shut.


    He immediately soothed the little ancestor calming him down but who would have expected the door would be knocked once more. In hurried footsteps, he opened the door and scolded who ever was on the other side. To his surprise, it was Qie Ranzhe standing outside with a bursted lip looking like a wounded animal.


    "Can we talk," said Qie Ranzhe just as Wen Qinxi closed the door, "but we can''t talk here." Though the corridor was quiet it was still not convenient to have a conversation there. Besides, Feng Zi was dressed in a night gown with wet hair which would most likely lead to him catching a cold.


    Wen Qinxi subconsciously crossed his arms across his chest as though guarding his chastity and said, "Let''s talk tomorrow. It''s not convenient right now," before making subtle movements as though nning to go back inside but Qie Ranzhe suddenly grasped his elbow with a hint of desperation.


    "Please," said Qie Ranzhe his had lowered. Though it was only one word, it held so much meaning that Wen Qinxi felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart.


    "But Lin Lin is sleeping s-," exined Wen Qinxi feeling helpless that is until Qie Ranzhe interjected.


    "Move him to Airen''s room," said Qie Ranzhe in a resolute tone. It seemed as though he had thought of this just now but in truth he had nned this in advance, it was just that he was good at acting.


    "Ai (*sigh)....fine," said Wen Qinxi before opening the door gesturing him to do the honours.


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t waste anytime lest Feng Zi changed his mind. He carefully picked up Qie Xieling like he weighed nothing and found his way to Airen''s room. No one was as shocked as she was when she saw the General outside her door holding a miniature version of himself.


    Without asking for her opinion, he dropped Qie Xieling off like dropping a hot potato and even tucked him in before exiting the room. Just like that General Qie left as fast as he came leaving behind a ckjawed Airen.


    When Qie Ranzhe came back Feng Zi was done blow drying his hair and changed intofy pants and in t-shirt ready for bed. Actually, Wen Qinxi wanted to strip naked and seduce the General who was naive enough to walk into the tiger''s den but he was afraid it would scare Qie Ranzhe away. It was better to chip away at Qie Ranzhe''s defenses that by the time he realised what just happened it would be toote. How to seduce a straight guy, 101.


    Wen Qinxi walked over to the bed and grabbed a first aid kit asking, "What did you want to talk about?"

 Chapter 223: Third World: Bachelors Sharing A Bed

    Chapter 223: Third World: Bachelors Sharing A Bed


    Qie Ranzhe remained rooted on the spot with his head lowered in self reflection. He didn''t know where to begin from and so remained standing seeming remorseful. "Come here," said Wen Qinxi patting the bed beckoning him to sit down.


    Like an obedient pup, Qie Ranzhe walked over and sat beside Feng Zi while summoning the courage to apologize. The moment he raised his head he said, "I a-.....fuck," he swore when his bruised lip was suddenly pressed with a wet wipe drenched in antiseptic fluid bringing about a stinging pain that had the general draw in cold air.


    Wen Qinxi found this amusing and teased him, "You have been shot before but for a small wound like that you turn into a cry baby," his eyes obsessively fixated on those rosy lips he hadn''t tasted in what seemed like a decade. Unbeknownst to himself, Wen Qinxi actually caressed Qie Ranzhe''s lower lip without thinking. If it weren''t for Qie Ranzhe saying something he might have jumped this man.


    "What''s wrong?" asked Qie Ranzhe with his heart pounding so fast for some unknown reason.


    Wen Qinxi was instantly jolted out of his trance and said, "Go take a shower then we can talk."


    "Sure...oh, can I sleep over?" asked Qie Ranzhe as he stood up talking off his


    t-shirt while walking towards the bathroom.


    "Sure.....sure," replied Wen Qinxi who was once again stuck in a trance ogling at that sensual back recalling how he had scratched it with Qie Ranzhe thrusting deep within him in the second world. The sound of the bathroom door closing finally brought him back to earth with his member standing at half mast as though asking if there would be a special treat tonight.


    "Shit!....I fuckin brought that on myself," thought Wen Qinxi losing confidence in himself. He could no longer guarantee the General''s safety as there was only one bed. Though it was king sized there was absolutely no assurance that he wouldn''t try something.


    Wen Qinxi had been anxiously pacing up and down for the past ten minutes but as soon as he heard the stream of water die down he jumped on the bed and covered himself with a quilt pretending to be asleep. He didn''t intend on seeing things that would further instigate him so he covered up.


    He heard Qie Ranzhe talk to someone on the phone and two minutester a knock was heard. Wen Qinxi knew it was probably the sergeant delivering Qie Ranzhe''s duffle bag. With his eyes shrouded in the darkness of the quilt, his hearing naturally became better so he could hear everything.


    Coupled with the scent of jasmine he could tell when Qie Ranzhe moisturized his body making Wen Qinxi''s face flush crimson as he associated that scent with seduction.


    His hearing was amplified to such a point that he could tell when Qie Ranzhe took off his towel which meant he was most definitely naked. It took so much self restraint to survive the longest fifteen seconds of his life.


    Wen Qinxi only rxed when he thought Qie Ranzhe was now fully dressed but he didn''t dare open the quilt because he knew how red his face was so he continued with his pretense. But his relief was short lived when he felt the bed move as Qie Ranzhe silently crawled into bed giving off the illusion that the general was moving closer to him. Just when he thought his heart was about to jump out of his chest in anxiety, the movements stopped.


    ''Sleep....sleep....sleep,'' said Wen Qinxi to himself trying to hypnotize himself to sleep. Just as he continued to chant himself to sleep someone suddenly pulled at the quilt exposing his flushed face.


    "Xiao di di, didn''t you say I should take a shower so we can talk? So why are you pretending to be asleep?" said Qie Ranzhe lying beside Wen Qinxi looking down at him.


    Wen Qinxi, "...."


    ''What are you? A fuckin cat?''


    "Why are you sneaking around?" asked Wen Qinxi moving a few inches backwards but he was already at the edge of the bed.


    Qie Ranzhe chuckled and said, "You are wrapping yourself up so tight when it''s hot. Look your face is so red now," lying on his side right beside Feng Zi.


    Nervous with sweaty palms, Wen Qinxi pushed Qie Ranzhe away saying, "Move over. There is an entire bed yet you choose to squeeze me into a corner. What the fuck is wrong with you?" That is until he realised Qie Ranzhe was shirtless and he had just groped that sturdy chest. His face flushed even redder having a major freak out.


    Qie Ranzhe was only messing around but didn''t expect Feng Zi to react like a cat that just had someone step on its tail. He wanted to continue teasing him but when he remembered what they wanted to talk about he shuffled back giving Feng Zi some space.


    Only then did Wen Qinxi calm down but his lower half didn''t get the memo standing stiff making him feel so embarrassed. It was a good thing they were now far apart otherwise he might poke the General with his enthusiastic pogo stick.


    Wen Qinxi was too flustered to notice the tense atmosphere, not the kind of atmosphere filled with sexual tension but rather the kind that makes you nervous because you are worried. When he finally realised something was off he then attempted to break the ice but Qie Ranzhe beat him to it.


    "I am sorry I shot you. I was wrong," said Qie Ranzhe seemingly remorseful.


    Wen Qinxi who had finally got his apology didn''t intend on letting this man off easy so he asked, "What did you do wrong?"


    "I shouldn''t have believed Zhao Huangzhi,"said Qie Ranzhe his chest tightening making him feel suffocated.


    "What else?" asked Wen Qinxi his gaze fastened on Qie Ranzhe.


    "Not asking you first," replied Qie Ranzhe in a hoarse voice with a wan expression.


    "Mn, now go to sleep," said Wen Qinxi turning on his other side to conceal his smile but Qie Ranzhe thought he was still upset so he asked,


    "Are you still upset with me?" but there was no response, "I broke up with Zhao Huangzhi and I am sending her back home tomorrow." Even he didn''t know why he was divulging his personal details. It had nothing to do with Feng Zi but he had a feeling that saying this would make Feng Zi feel better which didn''t make sense.


    Boy, was he right. Wen Qinxi was smiling from ear to ear celebrating in his mind like it was Chinese New Year. For a minute, Wen Qinxi didn''t respond attempting to conceal the excitement in his voice. After a long struggle he finally said, "Sleep," hoping Qie Ranzhe wouldn''t pursue this any further.


    Qie Ranzhe obediently closed his eyes and said, "Good night," but none of them fell asleep right away. It was bound to be a long night.

    Chapter 224: Third World: Lin Lin''s Tutorial: How To Punish Haters?


    After a long night''s rest Qie Xieling finally rose from his slumber. He sat up right in bed and rubbed his half lidded eyes in a daze. The little dumpling was still trying to figure out where he was and just as he recalled Feng Zi, he excitedly turned around expecting to see his new dad but to his surprise he wasn''t there.


    Instead, there was Airen who was sitting in a chair browsing something on herptop with a stern expression. Beside her was a neat pile of clothes meant for him and as soon as she noticed he was awake she said, "Little ancestor, you are awake. Why don''t you go and wash up and I will go order you some breakfast," putting down theptop.


    "Why am I here? Where is dad?" he asked his expression sullen.


    Airen heaved a deep sigh recalling yesterday''s events and said, "He had something to discuss with the general. You will see him at breakfast. Now, be good and wash up while I am downstairs," before heading out the door.


    Qie Xieling felt upset and he wasn''t the kind who could easily let things go. Everything was going great till this General person showed up. Thinking of the general, a terrified feeling wailed up in his heart. Was that man going to take his dad away? That thought made the little boy feel insecure especially when Feng Zi hadn''t officially adopted him which meant he could be left behind.


    Terrified out of his mind, he washed up and wore the clothes left for him by Airen. But instead of waiting for her toe back, he left the room and took the elevator downstairs. His destination, the reception desk.


    He wanted to get Feng Zi''s room card and see his dad. If he sees him then at least he did be reassured. With that in mind, he stealthily approached the reception desk. It seemed the receptionist didn''t notice the short person as she was knee deep in gossip.


    Qie Xieling who was crawling under the desk heard some of it but most of it didn''t make sense. The receptionist was standing with a cup of coffee chatting with one of the room service staff. "I am telling, that room was a mess. She basically destroyed everything. How badly did the man treat her to drive her that crazy?" said the chatty room servicedy.


    "Let me tell you those two are not simple people. The girl is from the Zhao family, one of the richest families. The man is General Qie. Their history is soplicated so if I were you I would talk less. Will gossip more once they have checked out," said the receptionist in a low whisper.


    The conversation went on but Qie Xieling barely paid attention silently putting his hand in the open drawer from under the desk. If the receptionist was paying attention all she would have seen was a tiny hand groping about in her drawer. Fortunately for Qie Xieling, the receptionist would rather be working for a gossip column than a hotel making it easy for him to find the box with room cards.


    The little sneak quickly scanned through the room cards and found the one that belonged to his dad''s room. He was about to return the box in its original position when he heard something that upset him. "Oh, you weren''t herest night. Let me tell you, there was a man who came in here dressed in drag holding a cute kid. That kid was so adorable but what sin did his ancestorsmit that he did end up with a queer father," said the receptionist.


    "You lie...seriously that''s horrible. Why are such people allowed to have kids? Even if it''s their biological child thew shouldn''t allow such people to raise kids," said the room servicedy. The two yammered on talking trash about his dad making him so angry. He could have easily walked away but that would be out of character.


    He wasn''t powerful enough to get these chatter boxies fired but he could screw with them. Holding the entire box of room cards he crawled away from under the desk and walked down the corridor thinking of ways to exact revenge.


    Just as he passed by a bathroom, his little childish brain concocted a n. He put the card he needed in his pocket casually strolling into the bathroom and emptied the entire box of cards in the toilet and flushed which obviously caused some clogging. Satisfied, he walked out with a beaming smile as though nothing happened and went into the elevator.


    He tapped the room card on the card reader excited to tell his dad how he taught those women a lesson. With a clinging sound, the door opened and he turned the knob on his tippy toes. "Dad!" he called out in excitement but his steps fell back when he saw Feng Zi cuddling the General fast asleep.


    ''Is this discussing things?'' thought Qie Xieling even more upset than before. The raucous instantly woke the men up as they both turned to look in the direction of the door. Wen Qinxi hadn''t even fully awaken yet when Qie Xieling angryly stomped out and mmed the door with a loud bang.


    Still sheepish, Wen Qinxi looked at Qie Ranzhe trying to figure out what just happened but he found Qie Ranzhe staring at him with a meaningful gaze. "What?" asked Wen Qinxi obviously confused.


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t respond but moved his eyes to look at the arm and leg coiled around him like octopus. Wen Qinxi followed his line of sight and didn''t get it at first that is until he remembered which world this was.


    "Fuck!" swore Wen Qinxi distancing himself from Qie Ranzhe. He couldn''t believe he was this shameless even when asleep. Judging the distance he traveled just to snuggle up with the CEO, he shock his head in disbelief.


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t respond and just sat up fixing his hair as though trying to look good for someone. He only stopped once he was satisfied andy back down when Feng Zi who had been staring at him this entire time asked, "What do you think you are doing?"


    Qie Ranzhe was confused but still answered earnestly, "Going back to sleep," while closing his eyes.


    With Qie Xieling upset how could he let the culprit off. "No, get up and go buy fudge to apologize to Lin Lin. That''s the only thing I know he''s been asking for," said Wen Qinxi wishing he could kick the man out off bed.

    Chapter 225: Third World: Wen Qinxi''s First Parenting Tip


    "Why should I? He is your son so you do it," casually replied Qie Ranzhe exonerating himself from all responsibility but who could have predicted Feng Zi would go off the rails tossing pillows at him making it hard for him to sleep.


    He got struck by two pillows and thought that was the end of it but he was wrong. This hotel bed originally had three euro pillows, two king pillows, two standard pillows and one ent pillow making eight pillows in total minus his that were originally part of an intrinsic arrangement. Who would have known Feng Zi would turn them into weapons making it hard for him to fall back to sleep.


    By the fourth pillow, Qie Ranzhe was fully awake and said, "Okay, okay I will go. Just sto-," but didn''t get to finish when a euro pillow hit him straight in the face. Because he hadn''t expected it, he looked stupefied which Wen Qinxi actually found funny that he startedughing.


    Qie Ranzhe was initially irritated but seeing Feng Zi''s ecstatic smile his irritation vanished reced by amusement. He flung the same pillow at Feng Zi before getting out off bed heading for the bathroom. Wen Qinxi who had just been struck by a pillow was dumbfounded as he didn''t expect Qie Ranzhe to retaliate.


    "So hit and run is your style? Haha...such a coward," said Wen Qinxi smiling gleefully.


    Qie Ranzhe nced over to him and said, "Yeah, I am afraid I might break that pretty face of yours if I carry on," in a tone full of mockery. He knew Feng Zi hated being called pretty or beautiful the most which is why he said it and sure enough another pillow was sent flying in his direction. He shielded himself by closing the bathroom door.


    "Who are you calling pretty? Such an ass," mumbled Wen Qinxi falling back on the bed.


    Twenty minutester, two grown men headed for the hotel restaurant with a box full of three types of fudge which were chocte, caramel and white chocte with cranberry fudge. If this didn''t get Qie Xieling to let them off then nothing else would.


    From afar they spotted Qie Xieling sitting next Airen who was trying to coax him to eat which didn''t seem to be working.


    Wen Qinxi felt so guilty,st night he was too weak and agreed to this vixen''s request now Qie Xieling was upset with him. ''General Qie, you are such a bad influence,'' he thought turning to make his epic escape. He was about to perform Harry Houdini''s ssic disappearing act when his elbow was suddenly seized.


    "Where are you going?" asked Qie Ranzhe pulling him back.


    Wen Qinxi pointed at the bar and said, "I need a cappino. How about you go and apologize and I will join you just now?" sprouting lies. Qie Xieling''s face looked especially frightening right now and he couldn''t help but want to wiggle his way out of this.


    "It''s like ripping off a bandage. Fast and painful once. Plus if we go together it he would less stabby, okay?" said Qie Ranzhe and with these words Wen Qinxi willingly followed Qie Ranzhe to the ughter house vowing to die together like Romeo and Juliet.


    Qie Xieling raised his head in excitement when he saw Feng Zi but when he saw Qie Ranzhe his expression turned sour looking away. "He doesn''t like me," whispered Qie Ranzhe seekingfort from Feng Zi.


    "Noooo.....no he does. Actually yes.....yes he doesn''t like you," said Wen Qinxi trying to lie but found that he wasn''t good at it so he changed his mind and agreed with Qie Ranzhe.


    Of course, Qie Xieling didn''t like him but he was hoping Feng Zi would lie to him to make himself feel better. "We are...actually, I am sorry," said Qie Ranzhe speaking half truths. He was only fifty percent sorry, sorry that he waited when Qie Xieling was asleep to take the dumpling''s ce. Next time, he will do it while Qie Xieling was still awake so there wouldn''t be any misunderstanding. Sleeping in the same bed with Feng Zi was surprisingly interesting and he wanted to do it again in the future but had to coax this kid first.


    Qie Xieling stared at Feng Zi and asked, "I will let it go if it won''t happen again."


    Wen Qinxi immediately shook his head and said, "it won''t happen again," but Qie Ranzhe contradicted him simultaneously saying, "It definitely will."


    "What tha...are you making an apology or trying to start trouble?" whispered Wen Qinxi feeling like he had just been screwed over by his pig teammate.


    Qie Ranzhe shrug his shoulders and said to Qie Xieling, "I will tell you in advance next time. Besides big boys sleep in their own separate rooms which is really cool."


    "Aren''t you a big boy too? Shouldn''t you be sleeping in your own room?" retorted Qie Xieling with a smug on his face.


    Airen and Feng Zi couldn''t help butugh at Qie Ranzhe''s expense. This kid was good at roasting people which was quite entertaining.


    Qie Ranzhe was left speechless desperate to silence this kid. "Here, eat some fudge. That will keep your mouth busy for a while," said Qie Ranzhe cing the box in front of Qie Xieling.


    Qie Xieling''s eyes lit up like a Christmas tree excitedly opening the box. The three adults watched helplessly as the stubborn kid devoured the entire box all by himself despite warning him not to eat them all at once. Wen Qinxi was worried the boy would have a tummy ache but something worse happened.


    He wished Qie Xieling had a tummy ache instead because the little dumpling became the little dumpling from hell. Jack-Jack from the incredibles was an angel whenpared to Qie Xieling. As though injected with chicken blood, the boy was an explosion of energy that the two adults instantly regretted it. The giddy Qie Xieling became even more talkative and inquisitive asking, "What is that? Why are a pheonix and I am a dragon? Why is the sky blue? Etc."


    This wasn''t the end of it, Qie Xieling climbed on Wen Qinxi treating him like a human sized jungle gym. Wen Qinxi who had been stepped on so many times, "...."


    Parenting is hard and Wen Qinxi was learning the hard way. Lesson number one, don''t give a kid an entire box of fudge.

 Chapter 226: Third World: General Qie Or General Cute

    Chapter 226: Third World: General Qie Or General Cute


    Wen Qinxi felt all the muscles in his body ache as the little human joyously climbed on him like he was Qie Xieling''s personal yground. This explosion of energy required another outlet so he tried to reason with the tiny person. "Shhh, Lin Lin.....dad wants to ask you something," he said trying to peel Qie Xieling off his shoulders. Qie Xieling who was pretending to be riding a rollercoaster on Feng Zi''s shoulders was reluctant but still obediently climbed down.


    Now seated on Feng Zi''sp while giggling he asked, "What does dad want to ask? I know a lot of secrets."


    Wen Qinxi almostughed wondering what sort of secrets this kid could possibly know but that wasn''t the main point so he didn''t urge him to spill. Instead it was Qie Ranzhe, who had his arms folded across his chest the entire time silently watching this disaster, who asked the boy to spill the so-called secrets.


    He had ordered breakfast for the both of them but the hyperactive kid didn''t even give Feng Zi the opportunity to eat with the food already cold. No matter how he red at the kid it seemed he was just a part of the background with no sense of existence.


    "Come tell me, what kind of secrets you have," said Qie Ranzhe gesturing for Qie Xieling toe over and give Feng Zi a break but of course, he was met by some form of resistance.


    "No!" said Qie Xieling. He wasn''t usually this impolite but right now he was having a sugar rush unable to control his mouth. "Let me tell you something," said Qie Xieling before whispering something in Feng Zi''s ear. Whatever that kid said was most likely rted to Qie Ranzhe because Qie Xieling kept staring in that direction.


    Startled by Qie Xieling''s urate discernment, he had to send him away before the little monster said something that shouldn''t be said out loud. "How about you go flying around and burn some of that energy?"


    "Yes!" said an excited Qie Xieling hopping off Feng Zi''sp and took Airen''s hand, "let''s go fly."


    Airen didn''t refuse and let Qie Xieling lead her on. She transformed into a golden eagle which made her a grandmaster in soaring the skies so she naturally wouldn''t refuse. As soon as they left Wen Qinxi reordered breakfast and ate with Qie Ranzhe. After a satisfying meal Wen Qinxi decided to go for a walk and watch Qie Xieling flying around town.


    He was just about to excuse himself when Qie Ranzhe subconsciously followed behind him and asked, "Can I tag along?"


    Wen Qinxi naturally didn''t have problem with it. This was one of the signs and symptoms of his CEO falling head over heels for him. If only things could be this simple in the real world.


    The two ambled down the busy streets side by side asionally looking up watching the baby dragon fly after a golden eagle. Seeing the little dragon take to the skies, Qie Ranzhe recalled the question he wanted to ask. "What did that little troublemaker say?" referring to the so-called secret the kid whispered in Feng Zi''s ear. He had a great suspicion that it had something to do with himself but didn''t want to ask in front of Qie Xieling.


    Wen Qinxi was actually busy being a little perverse enjoying the feeling of having their shoulders touching and because the path there were on was narrow and busy, he would asionally lean even closer. A barely visible suave smile appeared on his face feeling like a pervert. It was Qie Ranzhe''s that brought him back to earth but even then his expression was a bit dreamy, dreamy enough for Qie Ranzhe to notice.


    "What''s wrong with you?" asked Qie Ranzhe staring at Feng Zi with genuine concern.


    Wen Qinxi who had just been caught in the act felt his cheeks burning as the tips of his ears sold him out. "Ahem.....nothing. It''s nothing," replied Wen Qinxi increasing his pace pretending as though he was interested in something at a stall nearby.


    Without thinking much, Wen Qinxi picked up a cute cat ear headband trying to ease the flustered feeling. He couldn''t help but feel like a little schoolgirl shying around her crush.


    ''Too embarrassing,'' he thought absent mindedly studying the headband in his hands.


    "Are you going to buy that?" asked the owner of the stall who was giving him dirty looks. The woman was suspecting him of being a pervert as mostly little girls liked these things so what was a grown man doing buying such things. Not once did it cross her mind that this man could be buying it for his daughter because the man looked too young to be a dad.


    "Uh...," said Wen Qinxi realising what he was holding. He then decisively turned around and put it on Qie Ranzhe''s head and said, "Cute," smiling broadly. He then walked off just like that.


    Qie Ranzhe, "..."


    ''Cute? Who are you calling cute?'' thought Qie Ranzhe taking off the headband and cing it back on the stall. He had been called everything else but cute not even as a kid so what kind of situation was this? The stall owner was so angry but just before she yelled after the two who messed with her goods, Qie Ranzhe came back and bought the headband before running after Feng Zi.


    Since Feng Zi had the audacity to make him wear such a cute thing in public then it would only be fair that he paid him back sevenfold. His reputation as a General was at stake. "Why are you acting weird?" asked Qie Ranzhe as soon as he caught up with him. He knew something was off but couldn''t put his finger on it. He was about to grab both of Feng Zi''s shoulders but someone suddenly embraced Feng Zi out of no where.


    It wasn''t only Qie Ranzhe who was startled, even Feng Zi was dumbfounded frozen stiff for a moment. Who had the balls to brazenly hug him? While his thought process was in line with this he suddenly smelt a heavy scented fragrance that the character Feng Zi was ever so familiar with.


    This was one of Feng Zi''s former love encounters to be more exact the recent ex bedroom partner. He was at a loss not knowing how to respond especially after she rubbed her face on his chest sniffing his scent while saying, "Zi Zi darling. I missed you," in a provocative tone.


    ''Crap!...dy you have such weird timing,'' he thought about to push her away but Qie Ranzhe who had been scowling right beside him separated the two and said,


    "Ma''am please restrain yourself."


    She was upset at first but seeing that familiar face she had only seen circting online, she suddenly became nicer and said, "If it wasn''t because my heart belongs to Feng Zi l would hav-...ah! What are you doing?"


    Wen Qinxi couldn''t let this temptress finish her statement. If she so much as looked at Qie Ranzhe, he would most definitely gouge her eyes out. So he took her elbow and dragged her into a nearby restaurant.

 Chapter 227: Third World: Appropriate Use Of The Word Cute

    Chapter 227: Third World: Appropriate Use Of The Word Cute


    Qie Ranzhe watched the two seemingly close people walk away together and felt incredibly upset. How could Feng Zi ditch him just like that? As he sulkingly stared at them he heard Feng Zi calling out to him, "Are youing or you are nning to grow roots in the middle of the street?"


    Those words somehow pacified him so much so that he followed after them and joined them at a corner table. Thedy who had just been forced to sit opposite the two men couldn''t help but whine. "You see how he treats me. Maybe the General can treat me bet-,"


    "Hey, hey," said Wen Qinxi knocking on the table his expression unreadable,"eyes over here. This has nothing to do with him."


    "Zi darling you have surely changed. I haven''t seen you ever since you broke up with me for that bitch Zhao Huangzhi. How is it going by the way?.....Huh, judging from your reaction it seems like it aren''t going well," she said slightly tilting her head exposing her fair neck with a bite scar most definitely left by Feng Zi, "how about one more night and I will tell you why I am here?"


    As she said this, she stretched out a hand to caress Feng Zi''s arm but before she could even touch him, Qie Ranzhe ced his gun on the table ring at her like a beast that just caught a weak animal invading its territory. In his mind, he couldn''t tolerate such a vulgar woman but unbeknownst to himself, he was drinking some serious vinegar.


    "Geez, Feng Zi restrain your mad dog. I was just joking," she said putting her hand into her brassiere taking out an envelope. Actually, she wasn''t joking before. Feng Zi could be considered the king of pleasure. He was really good at taking care of whomever was fortunate enough to be on his bed at that time. Though he easily lost interest as his heart belonged to Zhao Huangzhi, women still pulled at each other''s hair just to have a turn.


    Ever since she got dumped, she heard Feng Zi hadn''t sessfully attained Zhao Huangzhi and that he was heart broken so she tried to wiggle herself back into his bed but who would have expected she would be met by such resistance. ''Wait,'' she thought staring at the two men sitting so close to each other with Feng Zi''s body leaning in as though drawn to the General and it finally dawned on her.


    "Ahahaha.....oh my. Hahahaha....I didn''t see thising," she said pping her hands bursting out inughter.


    Two men looked away from the envelope and stared at her, one confused and the other fully aware of what she was thinking.


    "Zi Zi darling you are not serious, it''s even more impossible than getting Zhao Huangzhi. H-," she said but stopped talking when Feng Zi took the gun on the table and said,


    "Say one more word and I swear I will blow your brains out," in a menacing tone. She knew to quit while ahead so she kept her trap shut but Qie Ranzhe was even more curious. He wanted to know what she was talking about. Did it have something to do with the person Feng Zi likes? Curious, he nned on sending his subordinates to interrogate this womanter and find out what Feng Zi is hiding.


    Wen Qinxi wasn''t aware of this current development as his attention was fully on the envelope with a familiar handwriting. This was definitely written by Feng Yu but why didn''t the man call or something? What was Feng Yu hiding that he didn''t even dare face Feng Zi?


    It still puzzled him why Feng Yu even stole that crystal in the first ce when it was vital for the survival of the. The mad scientist didn''t even ask for a ransom or anything with the crystal vanishing off the face of the earth.


    Scratching his head in confusion he read the shortest note he had ever read. It was a note made up of four words which were ''Don''t look for me'' fullstop.


    "What the fuck?" muttered Wen Qinxi before passing the note over to Qie Ranzhe and faced thedy who now had her lips zipped together. "Where is he?"


    "I don''t know where he is now. He didn''t say anything except that I should hand this to you. After that he simply vanished," she hurriedly exined lest she gets misunderstood.


    "Where did he hand this to you?" asked Qie Ranzhe ready to deploy his men over but Feng Zi dispelled that idea. Feng Yu was most certainly half way across the province by now.


    "Its pointless. He is already gone. Let''s follow up on the lead Fui Gen gave me yesterday. We have a better chance finding him that way,".exined Wen Qinxi before standing up to leave.


    Qie Ranzhe gave the woman one more menacing stare and stood up to leave as well. Just when they reached the door, the woman suddenly called out to Feng Zi saying, "You have a chance."


    Wen Qinxi knew exactly what she was talking about but didn''t linger around. Of course, he had a chance it was just a matter of time.


    Qie Ranzhe wasn''t a busybody but he just couldn''t help but ask Feng Zi, "What is she talking about?" while handing back the envelope to him.


    Wen Qinxi casually replied, "A chance to find my father," lying through his teeth. There was no way he was going to expose himself this early. Wouldn''t that be equivalent tomitting rtionship suicide? Though he had spoken clearly, Qie Ranzhe wasn''t one to give up easily so he asked, "How about what Lin Lin said today?"


    Wen Qinxi suddenly stopped in his tracks and asked, "Did you eat some of Lin Lin''s fudge? Why are you too inquisitive today?" trying to get Qie Ranzhe to back off. Qie Xieling actually said that Qie Ranzhe was looking at Feng Zi as though looking at a piece of candy and that Feng Zi should be careful because candy was made to be eaten. His words were innocent using candy as an analogy but Feng Zi''s brain flew in the opposite direction.


    Qie Ranzhe could sense Feng Zi''s uneasiness and so decided to let it go and use other means to find out. So he put the cat ear headband on Feng Zi''s hair and brazenly said, " Pretty."


    Wen Qinxi''s cheeks turned pink making him look like cute manga with flushed cheeks and cat ears. "Piss off!" yelled Wen Qinxi before stomping away.


    Qie Ranzhe, "....."


    "Hahaha.....you look even cuter when you are angry. Wait let me take a picture," yelled Qie Ranzhe running after Feng Zi like a boy running over to coax his girlfriend but instead of a cute girlfriend it was more like chasing after a fierce lover. This was even more apparent when the cute cat headband was suddenly thrown in Qie Ranzhe''s face.


    Qie Ranzhe, "....."


    He was finding it extremely enjoyable teasing Feng Zi.

 Chapter 228: Third World: Another Terrible Parent

    Chapter 228: Third World: Another Terrible Parent


    As the say goes when good things happen something bad follows and that''s exactly what happened to the two men as soon they returned to the hotel. The wicked witch from the west that was meant to be half way across the country was standing at the hotel entrance with her luggage being brought up.


    When Qie Ranzhe saw her it was like he had been struck by lightning. He had already issued an order that she was to be escorted back to headquarters so why was she still here disobeying hismand?


    Qie Ranzhe turned to look at the simrly distraught Feng Zi. He couldn''t help but feel panicked a little. Wouldn''t this make him seem like a liar? To prevent any misunderstanding he began to exin but before he could even get a word out, Feng Zi said, "I understand. Just go take care of what you need to take care of," before walking away.


    Qie Ranzhe felt an inexplicable sense of loss. He couldn''t tell if Feng Zi was upset or not. Ever since he broke ties with Zhao Huangzhi he had felt like their old friendship was finally restored which made him feel a sense of calmness he hadn''t felt in a long time. But like a vengeful ghost, Zhao Huangzhi returned to haunt him and take it all way. How could he let her ruin everything?


    Wen Qinxi wasn''t upset at all. In fact, it was expected as he was well aware that Zhao Huangzhi wouldn''t be easy to be rid off. In any case, if she touches his bottonline once more he would most definitely kill her this time. Unbothered by her presence, he casually passed her entering the hotel without acknowledging her.


    Zhao Huangzhi obviously didn''t expect this neither did she provoke him. She had already decided to use other people to fight this battle for her so she didn''t see the need to aggravate him. She simply scoffed when he passed by andy her eyes on Qie Ranzhe. Though his face was as nk as a sheet of paper she could clearly see the anger and resentment in his eyes.


    This didn''t deter her because she was confident in her backing. Qie Ranzhe didn''t even bother questioning her and immediately ordered someone to put her luggage back into the vehicle. He had already said all he needed to sayst night so he didn''t feel the need to speak to her.


    Seeing him give her an ice cold shoulder, Zhao Huangzhi felt like her heart was being bitten by tiny ants causing an excruciating ache. She could ept him yelling at her or addressing her coldly but she couldn''t ept being ignored. When she saw him order his subordinates to put her bags back in the car she finally stepped forward and said, "General Qie please don''t be rash. I am not defying yourmand," while handing him a military order signed by his father, "President''s orders. I am to stay by your side andplete the mission."


    Her expression was stern but Qie Ranzhe could clearly see the smile in her eyes. He didn''t even bother take the piece of paper from her and walked away without saying a single word. He had his men clear out a conference room for him and immediately made a call to his father.


    President Qie didn''t even give his son any face deliberately ignoring the call five times. He merely glimpsed at the caller ID before turning his attention to the documents on his desk. If it weren''t for Qie Ranzhe''s persistence, he would have pretended to be deaf and not even bother return his calls.


    As soon as the call connected, Qie Ranzhe muttered, "Father I-," but President Qie interrupted him saying,


    "You calling me father is this an official or personal call? If it is personal then I will hang up."


    Qie Ranzhe felt a tightness in his chest and replied, "Offical business sir. It''s concerning the order you issued formander Zhao. She isn''t fit for duty and she willpromise the sess of this mission," his voice hoarse.


    This father and son rtionship was nothing to admire in the first ce but it grew worse when the crystal went missing. President Qie grew colder towards his son further fracturing this already fragile rtionship.


    "Are you questioning my decision?" said President Qie leaning backwards into his chair, his face dissatisfied.


    Qie Ranzhe was struck dumb and could only respond, "No sir." After personally experiencing Zhao Huangzhi''s ipetency he had every reason to remove her from this mission. Even if they hadn''t fallen out, he had multiple reasons to send her away but Zhao Huangzhi wasn''t a simple woman.


    One call to her father and she could have an entire city lying in ruins for simply breaking her finger. Because President Qie and Mr Zhao had a great rtionship it was a given that President Qie would go an extra mile for her. He didn''t think Zhao Huangzhi would use such a method and choose to stay by his side even when they had nothing to do with each other anymore.


    "I have my reasons. Commander Zhao will continue with this mission. Seeing how important this mission is, I have also sent the General of the army, General Qie toe supervise since Feng Zi and Feng Yu are the world most wanted terrorists. Any objections General?" said President Qie but he didn''t wait for Qie Ranzhe to respond saying, "Don''t disappoint me," before cutting the line.


    Objections? Of course, Qie Ranzhe had major objections. This so-called General of the army, General Qie was his worst nightmare. Qie Guaiwu is Qie Ranzhe''s aunt the cause of his horrible childhood memories. After his mother passed away she took up the motherly role which was a motherly role in name only.While other kids were ying in the yground, he was running military drills before the break of dawn and as soon as the sun set. On school holidays it was even worse because she took him along to her base treating a five year old as a new recruit.


    He eventually got the hang of it as it became part of his life but whenever he didn''te first at anything he would be punished. Now that same woman wasing to supervise him. Qie Ranzhe felt his body shudder involuntarily as he angrily flung his phone smashing it into the wall. Things were about to get even moreplicated.


    ***


    While Qie Ranzhe was exploding in anger, Wen Qinxi was dealing with his child''s first disciplinary hearing. Just as he walked into the hotel, he was called to the manager''s office as Qie Xieling had apparently caused damage to property.


    At first he thought Qie Xieling had identally burnt something with his dragon me. If that was the case then he would silently pay the damage as the kid was small and couldn''t help it sometimes but he soon found out that this case was far from being an ident.

 Chapter 229: Third World: The Punishment For Gossiping

    Chapter 229: Third World: The Punishment For Gossiping


    In a spacious office three people where seated waiting for the culprit. The receptionist was using Qie Xieling of stealing hotel cards and flushing them down the toilet causing the system to clog with water flooding the entire bathroom. The water went as far as seeping from under the door soaking the carpet in the corridor right outside the toilet. They had hosted plenty of children before but this was the first time the manager had such a situation.


    He couldn''t help but stare at Feng Zi with scornful eyes his expression literally calling him a horrible parent. Thinking back, he recalled that Feng Zi was the man who came dressed as a woman and couldn''t help by scoff loudly. It only made sense that the child was disrespectful and unruly as he was being raised by such a immoral person. Like he said before men like this shouldn''t raise children.


    Under the manager''s scornful gaze, Wen Qinxi knew what he was thinking. He had no time to deal with ignorant people and wanted to get this over and done with as quickly as possible. He knew Qie Xieling definitely did as they said but that kid wouldn''t do something like that without reason. He just couldn''t wait to find out what incited this kid that he had to resort to such a method.


    Qie Xieling entered the room with his head held up high looking nothing like the guilty party. It was obvious he wasn''t remorseful as he casually strolled over and sat in Feng Zi''sp like a spoilt child. Wen Qinxi didn''t stop him even rubbing his backforting him causing the manager''s frown to deepen.


    He couldn''t help but be angry with parents these days. They cuddle their children like they are fragile beings asking them what they want and not spanking them when they did wrong. It was all about gluten and peanut allergies with less parenting which frazzled this old veteran. He was so angry that his veins bulged at the side of his neck but he had to keep a stiff smile.


    Wen Qinxi ignored the fuming manager and asked, "Lin Lin you want to tell dad what happened?" looking down at Qie Xieling who looked as innocent as ever.


    Qie Xieling didn''t shy away and exined exactly what he did causing the manager to almost flip the table restraining himself from scolding this pair of father and son.


    "So you see sir, will be adding the repair costs to your bill," said the manager sliding the piece of paper to him with a smirk on his face.


    Wen Qinxi didn''t bother look at it and went on to ask, "Why did you do it?" his voice incredibly gentle. He had more than enough money to pay the bill but chose not to pay because this situation had a cause and effect. He was very much interested in the reason which is why he asked Qie Xieling.


    "Because they disrespected you and called you names saying that you shouldn''t be allowed to raise a child because you were wearing a dress so I retaliated. Just because my dad is different it doesn''t mean she should run her mouth like that," said Qie Xieling pointing at the receptionist.


    The receptionist''s face turned red in anger but she held back as these people were still clients and hurriedly denied it. "No, he is lying. I said no such thing," she said shrinking back a little.


    "Sir, our staff are well trained and respectful. Never have we receivedints of ndering clients ever since this hotel opened for business. Your son must have been imagining things," said the manager supporting the receptionist though he himself actually said such foul words the previous night when Feng Zi checked in. But there was no evidence that such a conversation urred before so he was confident in his response.


    "Okay I understand," said Wen Qinxi taking out his phone to text Airen. In under three minutes, the once ck television screen suddenly came to light as though controlled by a poltergeist and footage from this morning began to y. All the receptionist''s nderous words were exposed on camera making it difficult to refute.


    Having been caught red handed her face paled with her confidence crumbling to dust reced by fear. They might have conventional beliefs but the rest of the world didn''t. This kind of gossip would be okay if you weren''t under surveince but when recorded, it would basically be your downfall.


    The manager''s face sank seeing this but tried to scare Feng Zi by using him ofmitting cyber crimes and hurriedly picked up his phone to call the police but his actions halted when Feng Zi suddenlyughed. "Oh, we haven''t reached the good part yet. Let''s watch that shall we," said Feng Zi ying footage of the manager bad mouthing him the night before.


    The manager''s hands trembled in anger dropping his phone as he said, "So what? It''s not a crime to gossip yet you broke thew."


    "Actually, I don''t mind. Go ahead and call the police. Just tell them you want them to arrest Feng Zi," said Wen Qinxi as he stood up with Qie Xieling in his arms, "I will be posting this online as well so get your house in order." With that Wen Qinxi exited the room as Airen posted the video online letting the whole world know.


    Since Feng Zi had decided to be this unreasonable, the manager called the police thinking, ''If I go down then we all go down together.''With that he confidentially dialed the number excited to face p this queer client.


    "Hello officer, I would like to report a crime," said the manager as soon as the call connected.


    "Yes, go on,"zily replied the officer who seemed to be having a crappy day.


    The manager enthusiastically exined, "It''s a cyber crime and destruction of private propertymitted by our client, Feng Zi. Pleasee an-," but he was cut off when the officer asked,


    "Who?" his voice more energized than before.


    Thinking the officer was excited to catch a criminal he said, "Feng Zi, surname F-E-N-G name Z-I," spelling the name for the good officer but things didn''t go as expected as the officer began tough.


    "Hahahahaha....Sergeant e over here. e," said the officer calling his superior, "this guy said he wants us to arrest someone," handing the phone over to the sergeant.


    "Ahem....this is sergeant Kai, who would you like us to arrest?" asked the sergeant with his officer almost rolling around on the groundughing.


    "Uh, Fennnnngggg Zi," said the manager confused. ''Did the officer smoke some weed?'' he thought but the sergeant began tough as well.


    "Hahahahaha....he wants us to arrest Feng Zi....hahahahahaha. Oi,e hear this.....hahahahaha," said the sergeant calling over his entire precinct.


    "Its like, woo, it''s like hahaha.....sending a mall cop to take down the drug cartel....hahahahaha," said the officer as the entire precinct burst out inughter.


    The unfortunate manager not only lost his job but was made fun of. He only found out after cutting the line that Feng Zi was an underworld Boss that even the army has to send generals just to apprehend him which they never seeded. As the saying goes ''don''t judge a book by its cover'' or better yet ''don''t talk shit about someone behind their back cause you might never know.''

 Chapter 230: Third World: Welcome To The Family Feng Xieling

    Chapter 230: Third World: Wee To The Family Feng Xieling


    Being defended like this Qie Xieling felt ayer of ice melt from his heart. When they first met, he could tell Feng Zi was a good person who harboured no ill intentions so he decided to follow him. He didn''t expect much, simply clinging to Feng Zi hoping he wouldn''t be left behind but as they spent time together he desperately wanted this man to ept him and be his father.


    Earlier on at the reception he couldn''t bear hearing people insult Feng Zi and so he decided to teach them a lesson. But he didn''t think through what sort of reaction Feng Zi would have mainly because he didn''t think he would get caught. When he did get caught, he was terrified out of his mind but had to gather his courage and put on a brave facade. Whatever punishment Feng Zi would have in store for him he would kindly ept it.


    What he didn''t expect was for Feng Zi to side with him and even expose the foul mouth manager and receptionist. This made him feel secure, Feng Zi truly cared for him. He was so happy that he couldn''t help but tighten his hold on Feng Zi''s neck.


    "Uh.....Lin-er you are strangling dad," said Wen Qinxi as the skinny arm tightened around his throat. He didn''t know what this kid was thinking but he couldn''t wait to show him a surprise.


    Because Qie Xieling''s name would bring trouble, he had Airen change it to Feng Xieling during the adoption procedure. Though Qie Xieling''s origins weren''t clear he feared trouble in the future as he looked too simr to Qie Ranzhe. With the kid having the surname Qie wouldn''t that invite unnecessary trouble?


    He couldn''t wait to show Qie Xieling the certificate and so picked up pace heading towards Airen''s room. As soon as they opened the door, Qie Xieling was surprised. The room was filled with helium colorful balloons floating in the air with asmall cake decorated with a picture of him sleeping in the car. The words ''wee to the family'' were written in purple surrounding the picture and a sparkler at the centre.


    It wasn''t only Qie Xieling who was surprised even Feng Zi was also surprised. He had told Airen to print the finalized adoption certificate and frame it then buy cake but didn''t expect her to go the extra mile.


    Qie Xieling was surprised to tears and instantly began to cry. No one had ever done this for him which stirred up his emotions to the point of bursting into tears. Wen Qinxi was taken by surprise and coaxed him while wiping the tears away. He didn''t see thising and didn''t know what to say tofort Qie Xieling.


    "Look," said Wen Qinxi showing the teary boy the certificate, "Don''t cry anymore. See, your name is now Feng Xieling and we are now officially a family. Thank auntie Airen for taking care of everything."


    This didn''t seem to help as the little dumpling cried some more. It only took a slice of cake to stop the tears but even then, Qie Xieling was sniffling stuffing his face with cake while clutching Feng Zi''s t-shirt like he was going to disappear at any moment.


    ***


    A floor below, Qie Ranzhe had just regained his calm demeanor after throwing a fit. What''s done is done, what''s left was to ept it. All he had to do was stop his aunt causing trouble with Feng Zi otherwise this mission would be pointless. Just as he was about to exit the conference room, one of his men came running with some news. He had asked them to interrogate Feng Zi''s ex but didn''t expect the man toe back early. To be honest, he had assumed thedy would be tight lipped about it and only speak with great difficulty. Who knew she did open her mouth willingly with no trouble.


    Qie Ranzhe sat back down and said, "Report," while massaging his temples to alleviate the throbbing headache.


    The solider stuttered a couple of times not sure how to say it. He had interacted with Feng Zi during the trip here. The man had saved them from the attack by those gangsters and treated the sergeant''s wounds. In his eyes, Feng Zi wasn''t as vicious and cruel as described which was unbelievable if he hadn''t witnessed it with his own eyes.


    But this piece of information was too ridiculous. He suspected the woman was crazy and felt like this information wasn''t worth mentioning to the General. If it was up to him he would have chosen not to tell General Qie but unfortunately he had to report.


    "Sir...I interrogated her and, and...she said...Sir, I promise there was no hint of deception in her response but I think she''s just crazy so don''t take her response to heart," said the solider trying to psychologically prepare Qie Ranzhe but who was he kidding. If anyone had strong mental strength it would be the General, the man had seen far worse things.


    "Just say it," said Qie Ranzhe supressing the irritation in his voice. He had alreadygrown numb from all the bad news so whats one more.


    "Fen-feng Zi likes...ahem Feng Zi likes you," said the solider feeling like the stupidest man on earth.


    Qie Ranzhe''s actions froze staring nkly at the man in front of him. He must have heard wrong? Maybe it was a different kind of like and the young solider had misunderstood. "Maybe you misunderstood her?" said Qie Ranzhe feeling slightly suffocated.


    "Sir, I asked her several times and her answer was the same. I would nevere to you with this unless I am certain," eximed the solider wishing he could just dig a hole and bury himself. This situation was a little ridiculous.


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t believe it. Considering their past this possibility was too absurd so he said, "Take me to her, I need to hear it from the horse''s mouth," before exiting the room. What the general meant when he said he wanted to hear it from her mouth was that he was going to torment her till he was certain she was telling the truth. These kind of jokes weren''t amusing and he intended to teach her a lesson if she was lying lest she dares y such a stupid prank again.

 Chapter 231: Third World: Failed Seduction

    Chapter 231: Third World: Failed Seduction


    After stuffing their mouths with cake, the three people became restless and startedying with the balloons flicking them all over the ce. The two adults were getting tired out but Feng Xieling was only getting started. He was bouncing on the bed flicking the balloons towards Feng Zi and Feng Zi would flick them towards Airen thus the beginning of a repetitive game.


    This game went on for such a long timesting until Qie Ranzhe returned from investigating Feng Zi''s ex. The masked expression he had conjured up with great difficulty crumbled to pieces when he saw Feng Zi frolicking like a kid with a joyous smile that yed Qie Ranzhe''s heart strings. ''This is ridiculous,'' thought Qie Ranzhe clenching his fists using the pain to deter himself from this weird feeling.


    Just like that, Qie Ranzhe stood at the door with a lost expression without uttering a single word. Wen Qinxi eventually noticed him and walked over with a radiant smile asking, "Are you looking for me?"


    Qie Ranzhe blinked a couple of times, zoned out while staring at that smile. His throat ran dry at this sight so he gulped hard to moisten his throat but it was pointless. Had he had just experienced a hypnotic suggestion or something? Why was he suddenly fascinated by certain things about Feng Zi that never use to fascinate him before?


    The man was knee deep in his trance that he didn''t even realise when Feng Zi had led him out of Airen''s room towards his. By the time he came back to himself they were already alone in a room. Feng Zi ced a piece of cake on the table and said, "This is for you," before licking some cream off his finger.


    This simple action was purely harmless and Qie Ranzhe would have probably thought the same a few hours ago but now he was thinking, ''Is he trying to seduce me?''


    Wen Qinxi who had been wrongfully used just sat on the bed and took off his shoes exposing his smooth well shaped ankles and asked, "What happened?" before massaging his feet.


    Qie Ranzhe who was trying to look away assuming this young man was trying to seduce him and responded in a panic, "Wh-what are you talking about?" He thought Feng Zi was talking about the confession. He didn''t know what the consequences would be for rejecting Feng Zi. Would Feng Zi refuse to help him find Feng Yu if he directly rejected the man''s advances?


    While Qie Ranzhe was cooking up a n of rejection in his mind, Wen Qinxi said, "I mean the whole Zhao Huangzhi issue. What happened?" The general who had his imagination running wild had his face pped hard falling back to earth.


    ''Is this what you call seduction? Note to Feng Zi, you can''t seduce a man by mentioning their ex,'' he thought but his face was now expressionless as he leaned against the wall and began to exin what was going on.


    "My aunt will be supervising the mission from tomorrow onwards but you don''t need to worry, I will protect you," said Qie Ranzhe without thinking through his words.


    Hearing the words "I will protect you'', Feng Zi couldn''t help but smile timidly while nervously biting his lower lip.


    "Okay, then I will be counting on the General" he said. Seeing this kind of reaction, the dear general with barely any dating experience felt his face turning hot. He had to go wash his face before he resembled a ripe cherry.


    "Sure," said Qie Ranzhe before leisurely strolling into the bathroom. He deliberately slowed his steps to cover up his nervousness and closed the door behind him. With no regard to water conservation, he ran the tap while nkly staring at the mirror. He couldn''t help reying the scene when Feng Zi took off his shoes. It puzzled him why he was nervous? Wasn''t it just ankles? There was nothing special but when he did look, he had the urge to stare which was OOC at its worst.


    "Fuck!" he muttered before sshing his face with cold water to cool down his overheating brain. This stage could only be described as denial. Thinking he was being ridiculous, Qie Ranzhe decided to share a bed with Feng Zi once more and prove his point.


    Thus tonight, Qie Ranzhe would be running an experiment with the hypothesis: sharing the same bed with Feng Zi has zero effect on Qie Ranzhe.


    With that decided, Qie Ranzhe confidentally left the bathroom only to find the person he left in the room had vanished. He couldn''t help but feel disappointed dialing Feng Zi''s number. It turns out the three people had left him behind and went downstairs to have dinner.


    Qie Ranzhe looked around for his cake only to find that Feng Zi had covered it with another te and left it in the minibar. He felt somewhat d that Feng Zi thought of him improving his mood.


    Dinner was extremely harmonious with the General barely saying anything. His mind was straying towards bedtime eager to prove his hypothesis as fact.


    After a pleasant dinner with no Zhao Huangzhi in sight, the four people went upstairs and got ready for bed. Airen volunteered to help Feng Xieling get ready for bed so Feng Zi went to take a shower. When he came out, he found Qie Ranzhe sitting on the bed seemingly more decent than the previous night with a buttoned up pyjama top barely showing any skin like a nun.


    Disappointed, Wen Qinxi felt like kicking him out thinking, ''What the fuck are you doing here if you can''t even show me a corbone?'' but of course, he wouldn''t say that aloud.


    "Ran-ge aren''t there other rooms you can sleep in instead of squeezing in with me?" asked Wen Qinxi crawling into bed.


    Qie Ranzhe would have loved to get another room but he had an experiment to conduct. Who knew when else he would get this opportunity so he put a stern facade and said,


    "What if you disappear on me? Hunting you down would be troublesome."


    Wen Qinxi found his excuse funny but kept a straight face and said, "You can sleep here if you want but there is a minor issue."


    Qie Ranzhe turned to face him and asked, "What?" with a raised brow.


    Wen Qinxi didn''t utter a single word raising his five fingers and began a silent count down. Baffled, Qie Ranzhe stared at his fingers wondering what was going on. Once Wen Qinxi folded his pinky finger he pointed at the door which was suddenly opened.


    Feng Xieling walked in holding his dragon plush toy and as soon as the two dragons locked eyes, raging sparks began to fly apanied by the smell of gun powder. "What are you doing here?" asked Qie Ranzhe fanning the me.


    "I should be asking you that question," replied Feng Xieling closing the door before lying next to Feng Zi.


    Qie Ranzhe was forced to sleep at the furthest left side with Feng Xieling sleeping in the middle. He tried to coax himself saying this counts as sleeping in the same bed and so tried to close his eyes and sleep, that is until he heard the little dumpling say,


    "Dad, I can''t sleep," to Feng Zi who scrolling through his phone.


    "Ran-ge can I have your phone?" asked Wen Qinxi and without thinking twice, Qie Ranzhe passed over the phone but turned around just as he recalled it had a password. When he turned around, he witnessed Feng Zi unlocking his phone with ease before passing it to Feng Xieling with the sound of cartoonsing from it.


    Qie Ranzhe, "....."


    "How did you?" asked Qie Ranzhe but Feng Zi didn''t look at him and simply chuckled without an exnation.


    How could he ask his wife such a silly question?

 Chapter 232: Third World: Conducting An Experiment

    Chapter 232: Third World: Conducting An Experiment


    After such a tedious day, the room finally fell silent with the three people, two adults and one cutie dozing off. Wen Qinxi might have been closing his eyes but he didn''t immediately fall asleep as he had an uninvited guest. The team had been running a diagnostic test on the gaming system after the unfortunate incident where Jolie lost all authority with another entity taking over.


    They suspected Qie Ranzhe but that possibility was too farfetched so they decided to run a system diagnostic test and scan for viruses or bugs. As expected, they found none and the only possible conclusion was that it was Qie Ranzhe''s doing. After much deliberation, they decided to have the system sniff around for any irregrities which was what Jolie had been upto this entire time.


    As soon as the system found out something it considered peculiar, it came back to report not caring whether Wen Qinxi was sleeping or not. Hell, even if Wen Qinxi was in the bathroom it would still barge in, that''s how spooked it was.


    "Boss, boss.....I found something," said the system whispering as though afraid someone or something would eavesdrop.


    "What are you whispering for when you are in my head?" said Wen Qinxi scolding the system that had picked the worst timing to intrude as he was just about to drift off toland.


    "Oh, um...is this better?" it asked but it didn''t wait for Wen Qinxi''s response and carried on, "Something is off with our CEO. It''s hard to exin but....something is definitely off," with thest part said in a whisper.


    The system was genuinely terrified that it didn''t dare say anything bad or disrespectful. It was used to gship being its yground doing as it pleased but now there were some things it could no longer do. It used to have the freedom to check out the next world even take over a character and mess around. Let''s not me the system, it was just bored. As long as it didn''t mess with Qie Ranzhe''s world it could do as it wished but now it was blocked from all sides but that wasn''t what spooked it.


    It was when it was suddenly frozen in the fourth world with Qie Ranzhe directly staring at it even though the system was invincible. Those dark viinous eyes shook the system to the bone. It could only y dead and remain unmoving till Qie Ranzhe''s gaze shifted but what happened next made it almost piss its pants if it could.


    Qie Ranzhe shed a malicious grin that had the system weeping internally for its mama. In the next second, Qie Ranzhe went back to normal carrying on as though nothing happened. Even the vicious re had melted away making it seem like it was the system''s imagination.


    Terrified out of its mind it struggled for ten minutes to leave the fourth world and as soon as it left it ran away so fast toin to its actual mama sh creator.


    Wen Qinxi listened to the system''s grievances, his expression grave. He didn''t know what to make of this and what it meant for himself. "I think he, he sometimes bes lucid. Even Qie Xieling''s appearance I believe was a well designed n. I think he interfered with the third world and even picked this character for you in advance. In the past two worlds your character setting was picked after careful statistical analysis and the character with the highest probability of helping Qie Ranzhe seed would be picked. Logic states that in this world it was meant to be Feng Yu but somehow you ended up with Feng Zi. I know it doesn''t make sense but I am telling you something is off," the system rambled on barely making sense.


    Thinking it over, it seemed the system was right. If Wen Qinxi got the character Feng Yu wouldn''t it be as simple as handing over the crystal, problem solved. But he ended up as Feng Zi struggling to find a father that was hiding from him. Even when he found Feng Yu it didn''t mean he would willingly hand over the crystal.


    "Shit! You are right but what about Qie Xieling? What did you find?" asked Wen Qinxi unsure what to think now.


    "Your character has missing memories. The memories from the day Feng Zi got Qie Ranzhe drunk and stole the codes and hand them over to Feng Yu are all missing. I think Feng Yu tempered with his son''s memories though am not sure for what reason," said the system but hearing Qie Ranzhe shuffle, it got spooked once more, "I got to go, boss. I wille back if I find something worth mentioning."


    Just like that Jolie vanished leaving behind a bbergasted Wen Qinxi. He should have known, Qie Ranzhe would never make things easy for him. To think this world would have been conquered by moving a simple chess piece made him sigh in frustration.


    Because his mind was hard at work analysing the jumble of information delivered by the system, Wen Qinxi didn''t immediately fall asleep only managing to catch some z''s after midnight. As his breathing evened out and body rxed, falling into deep sleep someone suddenly made a move.


    Qie Ranzhe woke up with the kid''s foot right in his mouth. He carefully removed the stray foot and gently moved Feng Xieling to his side after cing pillows at the edge of the bed to prevent the kid from falling over. After he was sure Qie Xieling wouldn''t fall over he moved to the centre of the bed and slept right besides Feng Zi. This move was so slick and practiced that the man beside him didn''t feel anything.


    In the blink of an eye evening was over with the sun rising from the horizon. Regardless of whether he slept well or not, Wen Qinxi woke up early, a victim of his biological clock. He sheepishly opened his eyes expecting to see Feng Xieling but his heart got a an electric shock when he saw Qie Ranzhe lying next to him with his eyes wide open staring at him scrutinizing his appearance.


    "What the fuck," whispered Wen Qinxi pushing Qie Ranzhe away, "Wh-what are you doing?" Believe me, he would so love this treatment if it was any other day but after what the system said, he was really confused.


    Qie Ranzhe smiled and confidently replied, "Conducting an experiment," as he kept staring at him.

 Chapter 233: Third World: Qie Ranzhe finds out Lin Lins Real Name

    Chapter 233: Third World: Qie Ranzhe finds out Lin Lin''s Real Name


    ''Fuck! What sort of experiment is this? I am not a fuckingb rat,'' thought Wen Qinxi but his face remained nk whispering, "Where is Lin Lin?"


    "On the other side. I put some pillows so he doesn''t fall over," replied an absent minded Qie Ranzhe with his gaze moving from Feng Zi''s eyes to his lips beforeing back to his eyes asking, "Have we done this before?"


    He couldn''t shake the feeling that they had done this before but he couldn''t exactly ce the memory which was incredibly frustrating. Thinking it was the time Feng Zi got him drunk, he asked, "Did you and I do something when I got drunk?"


    Normally, he wouldn''t have asked this question but the deja vu of this situation plus the fact that he found out Feng Zi likes him, he couldn''t help but ask.


    "What tha-, Ran-ge do I look like a fuckin pervert?" whispered the wrongfully used Wen Qinxi. True, Feng Zi''s character had some missing memories from that night but that wasn''t him from the beginning. He wouldn''t take advantage of a drunk person.


    A little flustered he rose from the bed and went to the bathroom leaving Qie Ranzhe behind. The general wasn''t certain he had collected enough data for his experiment which is why he didn''t want Feng Zi to leave.


    While Qie Ranzhe was trying to pry open some drunk memories, Feng Xieling suddenly woke up only to find himself sleeping at the edge of the bed.


    Feng Xieling, "....."


    "Are all adults this shameless or its just you?" asked Feng Xieling while rubbing his eyes.


    Qie Ranzhe moved to lie on his side and faced Feng Xieling saying, "No, it''s only me," gently pinching the dumpling''s little nose.


    Being pinched like this, Feng Zi''s eyes darkened as he got off the bed saying, "Of course, only you would be this shameless." Qie Ranzhe found this kid''s venomous tongue amusing and lightly chuckled as Feng Xieling joined Feng Zi in the bathroom.


    Wen Qinxi picked up Feng Xieling and ced him on the sink counter as they began to brush their teeth chatting it up. Out of the blue, Qie Ranzhe joined them and the three of them hogged the sink brushing their teeth. Out of the two of them, Feng Xieling was dissatisfied eximing his grievances but Qie Ranzhe didn''t go away instead he said, "Brush in a circr motion, back teeth, front teeth and mouth two minutes max,"


    Wen Qinxi, "..."


    Feng Xieling, "..."


    Even during breakfast the two still looked at Qie Ranzhe for different reasons. One was trying to figure out Qie Ranzhe''s y. Did he want to take away his dad or squeeze into their perfect family of two? The other was wondering what Qie Ranzhe meant by experiment and what could have possibly happened the night Qie Ranzhe got drunk.


    It was only after Qie Ranzhe left for some urgent matters did Feng Xieling brazenly ask, "Is he auditioning to be my new mommy?" Wen Qinxi''s eyes widened in disbelief but he didn''t have time to reprimand Feng Xieling when Airen came in and whispered something.


    Wen Qinxi furrowed his brows with obvious concern in his eyes and said, "Watch him," and headed out. Feng Xieling wasn''t stupid, at least he was smarter than most kids and knew something was up but Airen had a firm grasp on him not letting him follow Feng Zi.


    The kid''s worries were warranted as just outside the door was a group of armed forces holding guns while requesting for him to show himself. Though each and every one of them would love to nt a bullet in Feng Zi they couldn''t because Feng Zi''s men had made a sudden appearance as per Airen''s instruction. They also wouldn''t dare attack him because General Qie Guaiwu had requested a meeting with Feng Zi with specific orders for them not to act rash.


    Wen Qinxi knew he could easily subdue these men but for the sake of Feng Xieling''s protection, he restrained himself and followed them to the conference room. The once busy hotel was now deserted with only military personnel. The hotel was officially closed to the public.


    After a few turns, Wen Qinxi arrived in the conference room with Qie Guaiwu seated in the host seat sipping on some coffee. She was a beautiful woman but the ck eye bags under her eyes and stern expression dealt a blow to her face reducing her favorability value. She most definitely hadn''t slept much striving to get here quickly just in case her ipetent nephew lost Feng Zi again.


    To her surprise, Feng Zi was still here with no intentions of running away so she immediately called for this meeting and establish her superiority that is after Zhao Huangzhi briefed her about what''s been happening. Her nephew she had worked hard to cultivate had turned soft hearted towards the enemy. How could she let that happen.


    While Wen Qinxi was having to face a group of spiteful women, Qie Ranzhe was currently meeting up with Machu. As soon as Machu arrived, he met up with him. He didn''t think Qie Guaiwu would arrive just as he left as he had assumed she did arrive in the evening but what he didn''t know was that his aunt had forgone all stops just to get to this town earlier than expected.


    Machu held out a folder and said, "Well, Feng Yu hasn''t contacted Feng Zi for years and he definitely did something to Feng Zi right after he got the codes," exined Machu reporting his investigation in the military''s mobile home.


    Qie Ranzhe sat at the corner of the table carefully scrutinizing the contents of the folder asking, "So you don''t know what he needed the crystal for?"


    Machu turned his swivel chair to look at Qie Ranzhe and said, "No....There is something else though," while handing the general his tablet. "This is from the Bureau of Registration. It turns out Feng Zi adopted a kid a few days ago," exined Machu swirling a pen in his hand.


    Qie Ranzhe shrugged his shoulders and said, "Most likely Lin Lin. It''s this kid he''s been taking care of."


    Machu noticed that Qie Ranzhe hadn''t grasped the point yet so he said, "Look at the bottom, that boy''s name changed from Qie Xieling to Feng Xieling. Boss is there something you are hiding from me?"


    Qie Ranzhe froze his hands trembling in shock.


    Around him Qie Xieling was always referred to as Lin Lin and he didn''t bother asking the kid''s full name. Actually, he asked but Feng Zi answered for the boy referring to him as Lin Lin. He knew the kid looked like him but didn''t for once assume it was his kid as he was confident in himself. All that confidence shattered when he recalled that drunken night. Did Feng Zi make him sleep with a woman while he was drunk?


    Qie Ranzhe''s head was spinning unable to make sense of it and he wasn''t going to get answers this way so he dragged Machu to the hotel. It was time he got some answers.

 Chapter 234: Third World: Aunt Qie Guaiwu Meets Lin Lin

    Chapter 234: Third World: Aunt Qie Guaiwu Meets Lin Lin


    Machu had no idea what was going on being dragged by his boss but his confusion was soon reced by shock when he saw the miniature version of the general. Those gorgeous dark eyes that could suck you into a deste vortex if you stare too long, those full lips that were voted the most kissable lips in the entire army, everything about that face looked like Qie Ranzhe.


    "Fudge, you were really hiding something from me," yelled a dumbstruck Machu staring at an adorable version of his bestfriend.


    "Don''t, don''t mention fudge," said Qie Ranzhe with his voice lowering into a whisper at the end of the sentence.


    "Why?" asked a perplexed Machu holding back the urge to pinch those adorable cheeks that should be soft to the touch.


    Hearing the word fudge, Feng Xieling sprung up to his feet looking around for some. If he weren''t worried for his dad he would have made this man go out and buy it.


    "Where is the fudge?" asked Feng Xieling eyeing the stranger with a deadly stare. Machu was a little terrified being stared at like that but because it wasing from a cute person it made it less scary.


    "I will get you someter," replied Qie Ranzhe before turning to face Airen who was cautiously eyeing Machu, "where is Feng Zi?"


    At the mention of Feng Zi, Feng Xieling stared at the door that was wide open and decided to disobey his dad''smand. Without thinking twice he dashed out of the room crawling in between Machu''s feet and ran towards the only ce Feng Zi could possibly be.


    Airen immediately ran after him while exining to the General who was following behind, "General Qie Guaiwu took Feng Zi so that''s where he''s going."


    Qie Ranzhe frowned hearing that. His aunt was supposed to arrive in the evening and protocol detects that she should have informed him first upon arrival. Then who received her and led her here? Thinking this way, Qie Ranzhe picked up speed and caught up with Feng Xieling, picked him up and gave him to Airen before reaching the well guarded conference room.


    At the sight of the general, the soldiers respectfully saluted and opened the door for him. As soon as Qie Ranzhe stepped in, he found Feng Zi seated at the opposite end of therge conference room with his men standing behind him and Qie Guaiwu seated at the other end with Zhao Huangzhi by her side and double the amount of armed guard than Feng Zi.


    The strong stench of gunpowder weighed heavy on the tense atmosphere. Everyone was on edge that any slight movement would be countered as hostile and could easily ignite the vtile atmosphere.


    At the sight of her nephew, Qie Guaiwu knitted her brows together and said, "General Qie, is this how you treat the world''s most wanted terrorist? You have him running wild like he owns this ce? Such a disappointment," her voice as harsh as her words.


    Qie Ranzhe saluted his aunt and was about to speak but Feng Zi interrupted him and said, "This matter has nothing to do with General Qie. You think I did be here helping you out if it weren''t for him? Like I said before, as long as you takemand of this mission, I will vanish without a trace. Let''s see if you can exin that to the old farts upstairs."


    Having being defended like this, Qie Ranzhe felt a wave ofplicated feelings. He couldn''t help but wonder if it was because Feng Zi liked him that he did put everything on the line and risk offending General Qie Guaiwu just to speak for him? He hated to admit it but it was a pleasant feeling having someone have your back like this.


    "You!...." bellowed Qie Guaiwu loss of words. She thought she could bulldoze her way into this mission and tame Feng Zi. With this in mind, she had promised her brother to have the missionpleted in less than seven days but she truly underestimated Feng Zi. She came in all fired up ready to handcuff Feng Zi but the man was untouchable. He took down her top guard like it was nothing and insisted they use their words thus the tense atmosphere.


    It was a fact, Feng Zi wasn''t going to help them without Qie Ranzhe. Her ns to send her nephew back to headquarters were flushed down the drain in an instant. Since she couldn''t control Feng Zi she decided to vent her anger on Qie Ranzhe and make him restrain Feng Zi but who would have expected the little bastard would speak for her nephew.


    Staring at his red hair and sleeve tattoo, Qie Guaiwu looked away in disdain restraining herself from having another outburst. Qie Ranzhe might not havee out of her womb but he was the only child she raised so this could count as him being unfilial, associating with such a man.


    "Qie Ranzhe! Is this how you treat your family? For that trash you dare defy your aunt and General of the army''s orders. Have you forgotten that she is your superior?" said Zhao Huangzhi who had been silently watching this shit show. It could only be said her n wasn''t going well. Qie Ranzhe had always obediently listened to his aunt no matter how unreasonable themand was. But it turned out she had underestimated Feng Zi''s influence over Qie Ranzhe.


    "Says the woman who decided to use other people to fight her battles. I suggest you shut your mouth otherwise none of these people will be able to save you from me," said Wen Qinxi while pulling on Qie Ranzhe to sit down next to him.


    Qie Ranzhe obediently sat next to him further angering Qie Guaiwu. The situation was worse than she thought. She was about have another burst out when amotion was heard outside before the door was opened with a short person rushing over to Feng Zi. Behind him was a soldier trying to catch him but right at that soldier''s heel was Airen who didn''t hesitate to knock the solider out cold.


    Behind her was Machu staring at this giant of a woman seeming like he had just fallen in love but he had no time to pay attention to the floating pink bubbles concerned for Feng Xieling.


    Wen Qinxi was suddenly tightly embraced with Feng Zi yelling, "Dad don''t leave me. Take me with you. I will go wherever dad goes." Everyone fell silent watching Feng Zi coax the little dumpling like they were only the two of them in the entire room. The soldiers including Qie Guaiwu began to question if this was the same viinous boss of the underworld?


    Qie Guaiwu couldn''t believe it but her disbelief turned to shock when she finallyid eyes on the boy sitting on Feng Zi''sp. Her face immediately turned ashen pale as she took a closer look. There was no way she could mistake it, that kid had the Qie blood running in his veins. How could this be?


    "Is that yo-?" she asked pointing at the kid with her shaky finger but Feng Zi cut her off,


    "His mine." Wen Qinxi had to clear that out first just in case thisdyes up with crazy ideas. He stretched out his palm at Qie Ranzhe gesturing to the General to hand over something. Qie Ranzhe didn''t get it at first lip-synching, "What?" but Wen Qinxi responded with a ''seriously?'' expression. The two silently exchanged looks, shocking everyone especially Machu whose jaw almost dropped to the floor. What kind of situation was this?


    Qie Ranzhe seemed to understand Feng Zi''s meaning and under everyone''s gaze, he casually handed his phone over. Feng Zi unlocked it and put earphones in Feng Xieling''s ears with a cartoon ying. This kind of conversation wasn''t suitable for a little kid thus he chose to distract Feng Xieling. Only then did Wen Qinxi ask, "Are we done here?"

 Chapter 235: Third World: Qie Guaiwu vs Mama Bear Qinxi

    Chapter 235: Third World: Qie Guaiwu vs Mama Bear Qinxi


    Qie Guaiwu seemed to understand what Feng Zi was doing and since Feng Xieling couldn''t hear them she said, "Qie Ranzhe, you went out to have a child out of wedlock and didn''t even tell me. And why is he calling Feng Zi dad?" boiling with rage. This didn''t make the least bit of sense to her. That kid was definately a descendant of the Qie family yet he was calling Feng Zi dad. Has this world gone mad?


    "He''s not my child," replied Qie Ranzhe but his aunt wouldn''t believe a word of it. She mmed the table and said,


    "Such a disgrace. You don''t even know how to own up to your responsibilities and let that criminaly im on our blood. What sort of potion did he feed you to make you that stupid?...Fine if you can''t take responsibility then I as your aunt will," gesturing for a guard to take away Feng Xieling. Before the man could take a single step Qie Ranzhe stood up and protectedFeng Zi with his hand on his holster.


    Pissed off, Wen Qinxi said, "I said this child isn''t his now back off. If you so much asy a hand on him I will kill you," before standing up to leave.


    He knew this woman was crazy but he didn''t think she would be crazy enough to actually want to take Feng Xieling from him. Wen Qinxi strode out of the room stroking Feng Xieling''s hair. The kid wasn''t aware of what had just happened but could feel the tension. He obedientlyy in Feng Zi''s arms with a murderous re aimed at the strange woman who made his dad angry.


    With all of Feng Zi''s men gone, Qie Guaiwu threw her heel at Qie Ranzhe yelling, "Such a disrespectful child. Wait until your father hears about this!" with red rimmed eyes. She was angered to the point of seeing red and flung the second heel which also missed.


    Qie Ranzhe let her vent her anger in silence and only spoke when she had cooled down a few degrees. "General of the army, since this mission is still under mymand I suggest you focus on things only pertaining to the mission. Let''s refrain from having outside distractions," he said addressing her formally. This was the only way he couldmunicate with her and get his point across. As soon as he said this, he exited the room leaving behind a flustered older woman and Zhao Huangzhi who was soothing her.


    "General Qie, please don''t me him. Feng Zi must have done something to him to get that child which is why he is blinded like this. It would be best you take this child and detain Feng Zi. We can find another way to get hold of Feng Yu. You don''t necessarily need Feng Zi to find his father. As for Qie Ranzhe, you could send him back to headquarters and President Qie will handle the rest," she exined but with each sentence she spoke Qie Guaiwu''s expression darkened further.


    She stared at Zhao Huangzhi as though looking at an idiot. This n was obviously stupid that even a newborn can see it. She began to seriously question Zhao Huangzhi''s intelligence, was she stupid or she was doing this deliberately? Qie Guaiwu ignored her and issued an order, "Get me everything on that kid. Birth records, DNA even what he had for lunch, I want it all," before her assistant handed her heels over.


    Zhao Huangzhi didn''t seem to understand Qie Guaiwu''s thought process but didn''t dare say anything else silently following behind her. Qie Guaiwu suddenly stopped and asked, "If that boy is his would you be willing to be his mother when you marry Qie Ranzhe?" without turning to look at her. Their union would most definitely be beneficial and since they already had a rtionship it would be easy for her to get them hitched as long as she can get Feng Zi out of the picture. The only troublesome thing would be the woman who gave birth to Feng Xieling. She had to find her so there wouldn''t be future problems.


    Zhao Huangzhi pretended to be timid agreeing, "Yes," while nodding her head. It seemed she made the right move involving the Qie family. It was only a matter of time before each piece fell into ce.


    Satisfied, Qie Guaiwu walked out heading to her room to report to her brother and execute her n.


    ***


    While being plotted against, Wen Qinxi had just put down a rattled Feng Xieling for a nap and just exited the room when he found Qie Ranzhe waiting for him outside wearing an apologetic expression. Wen Qinxi had Airen watch Feng Xieling and had multiple guards by his door before leaving with Qie Ranzhe.


    It seemed that Qie Ranzhe had something to say but couldn''t say it in the hotel so they left for a coffee shop across the street. As soon as they entered Wen Qinxi ordered an americano for Qie Ranzhe and a cappino for himself before sitting in a private room.


    As soon as they sat down a dumbfounded Qie Ranzhe asked, "How did you know I like that?" He didn''t remember ever telling Feng Zi his preferences. What he didn''t know was that this man had been through two worlds with him and he was also his boss and ssmate in the past. This meant Wen Qinxi knew him like the back of his hand.


    "I just know," replied Wen Qinxi as the waiter ced their order on the table. As soon as the waiter was gone he said, "What a mess."


    "I am so sorry about this....," said Qie Ranzhe his gaze fixed on Wen Qinxi who had his eyes lowered stirring his cup of coffee.


    "Mn," replied Wen Qinxi taking a sip.


    "How about you send Feng Xieling back with Airen? Your mansion is much safer than him moving around with us," suggested Qie Ranzhe. He knew Qie Guaiwu wouldn''t have the balls to attack Feng Zi''s mansion as it would incite the entire underworld.


    Wen Qinxi finally looked up at him and said, "I will think about it. Tomorrow will go find that girl that had Feng Yu expose himself for," before falling back to silence thinking through his next move.


    Qie Ranzhe wanted to ask why Feng Xieling had his surname before but restrained himself thinking there is no point asking because Feng Zi couldn''t or wouldn''t answer. It was best he did an extensive investigation and get a DNA test done on Feng Xieling. At least then he can decide his next move.


    Thinking of his experimentst night he said, "By the way I know you like me and you have permission to pursue me," with a serious expression. He didn''t hate the idea of being liked by Feng Zi. The man was good looking and had a sick tattoo so he didn''t see anything wrong thus he decided on this.


    Wen Qinxi almost choked on his coffee at his words, to be more exact he burnt his tongue in shock. ''What the fuck!''


    Qie Ranzhe''s brows furrowed a bit seeing Feng Zi''s reaction but he didn''t back down saying, "You better do a good job at it and maybe I will consider it. So far your efforts haven''t been impressive."


    Wen Qinxi couldn''t believe his ears bursting out in nervousughter. "Are you kidding me?"


    Qie Ranzhe wanted to ask him why he wasughing but his phone suddenly rang so he had to answer it. After dropping the call, he said, "I have urgent matters so I will see you at dinner. Don''t disappoint me," before walking out leaving behind a bbergasted Wen Qinxi.


    "What the fuck? When did he get this cocky?"


    "I told you soooooo," said the system that seemed to only dare show up when Qie Ranzhe was gone.


    "Coward," said Wen Qinxi rebuking the system.


    Jolie, "..."

 Chapter 236: Third World: Weird DNA Test Results

    Chapter 236: Third World: Weird DNA Test Results


    Because the team had dallied too long in ck Oasis , it was time to set off. After some listless arguing, it was decided that Feng Zi, Airen, Feng Xieling, Zhao Huangzhi, Qie Ranzhe, Qie Guaiwu and her assistant would be travelling in the military mobile home. From the outside, the army green mobile home seemed small which was only an illusion because the vehicle was impressively spacious inside.


    This mobile home was of Qie Ranzhe''s own design as he travelled a lot in the past mainly because he was hunting down a certain someone. With his ck suv leading the convoy, this was how Qie Ranzhe trekked across the country. But this time it was different as his harmonious mobile home seemed crowded. He didn''t mind Feng Zi and Feng Xieling hitching a ride but the rest could follow behind on foot for all he cared. That had him in a bad mood especially when Feng Zi was meant to be pursuing him but how was he supposed to do that with so many people around? He couldn''t help but find this situation troublesome.


    While the General was wearing a stone cold face, another General was having a private discussion with her assistant whohad requested a private meeting. The two locked themselves up in the bedroom and the assistant opened up his tablet reporting the results of his investigation to Qie Guaiwu.


    "Ma''am, the information you asked for has just been sent through," said the assistant handing over the tablet with a stiff expression before moving back a few feet just in case Qie Guaiwu lost her shit after reading the report.


    "Too much information," said Qie Guaiwu taking out her sses from her suit jacket, "summarize it for me." Her eyes were in such a poor condition that even when she wore her sses she would be squinting her eyes trying to read.


    The assistant subconsciously moved backward one more foot and said, "This kid actually lived in an orphanage with no clear origins. The nuns found him at their doorstep with just a name. He was then adopted by an infamous treasure hunter whose body was found in the desert. It was around that time that Feng Zi found him and adopted him. It seems they had nothing to do with each other till recently," exining clearly like a kindergarten teacher teaching kids to write their names, tiring and tedious.


    Qie Guaiwu stared at him with a pleased smile. This meant she could legally take the kid out of Feng Zi''s hands. Thinking this would be an easy task, she couldn''t help but grin. Seeing that smile the assistant hurriedly exined further secretly lighting a candle for himself. "The kid is indeed your nephew''s offspring b-," he said but he was cut off by Qie Guaiwu''s celebration,


    "Great job, I am going to teach that nephew of mine a lesson." It was when she said this, did she remember one crucial point so she asked, "And the woman?"


    The assistant felt like jumping out the window, right now and end it all but he had a family waiting for him at home. If he jumps out the window they wouldn''t receive the death benefits, it was better for him to wait for Qie Guaiwu to kill him so he prepared himself and said, "The um...ahem the kid also has Feng Zi''s DNA in, in it," in a barely audible hoarse voice.


    Qie Guaiwu''s smile copsed glowering at this stupid assistant. Yes humans had mutated into beast man but the line on who could give birth was still clearly drawn so what was this assistant of hers bubbling about. "Are you high on psychedelics? How can a man give birth? What, the, fuck, is wrong with you," she said announciating each word while smacking her assistant with the tablet. "I swear if you are taking drugs I am going to ruin you!"


    "General, it''s, it''s true. Theb ran the test four times. It''s not a lie. Please spare me," he said regretting ever joining the army. What morous life, what good employee benefits? That was all his father''s n to brag around the vige that he had a son in the army. Now he was being beaten for telling the truth. Damnit, he would rather be a farmer like his ancestors right now.


    Qie Guaiwu threw the tablet smashing it on the floor and held her assistant by the cor and said, "Run it again or I will end you!"


    While the assistant was questioning his life choices in the bedroom, Airen was taking up an extra task in her job description that is teaching Feng Xieling mathematics with Qie Ranzhe supervising them like a strict headmaster from a catholic school. This made the process less fun for Feng Xieling wishing he could get rid of Qie Ranzhe. He not only wished it, he actually tried but who knew this man was as stubborn as a boulder remaining unmoved.


    Frustrated Feng Xieling sighed heavily while mming himself on the table saying, "Aiiiii....I can''t do this anymore," lifting his head, "Don''t you have other things to do with your time? Don''t you have a job?"


    Qie Ranzhe''s mouth twitched supressing a smile. It is to say if Feng Zi is the fun parent then Qie Ranzhe would be the nagging one. That one parent who isn''t happy unless he screws with his kid once a day but still provide the best things for them in a kind of love hate rtionship.


    Feng Zi came back holding three cups of hot cocoa and saw Feng Xieling looking like he was about to cry. He ced the steaming cups, with cute marshmallows swimming on top, in front of Feng Xieling and Airen then sat down sipping on his.


    "Lin Lin don''t mind him. Have some of this but be careful because it''s hot," said Wen Qinxi looking over at the colorful math questions running on an app on a tablet he told Airen to buy.


    He was too distracted to notice a certain someone''s displeased countenance. Qie Ranzhe was upset because it seemed everyone had something to drink apart from him. Wasn''t Feng Zi supposed to be pampering him? What kind of pursuit is this?


    Zhao Huangzhi who had been isted waiting for Qie Guaiwu noticed this and decided to make a cup for Qie Ranzhe, her motives clear but thismander was not only useless in the army but also at making beverages. Who else could screw up a cup of good Joe apart from her? One sip of her brew and one would develop an allergy to hot beverages. The only thing she maybe wouldn''t screw up would be tap water. Anyway back to the story.


    While Zhao Huangzhi was starting a cold war in the kitchen, Qie Ranzhe took out his phone and messaged Feng Zi seated opposite him. Expectant and looking forward to educate Feng Zi, he averted his gaze as the notification rang on the other man''s phone.


    He couldn''t wait to see Feng Zi''s expression when he saw the message but who would have expected Feng Zi wouldn''t even nce over his phone. Let''s not me Wen Qinxi, it was just that if it weren''t Airen then no message would be important enough to grab his attention. Most of the messages he got were forwarded emails from his band of bandits sending weird emails like the best method to makesagne or which is cuter, dog or cat? So he deliberately ignored his phone watching the smart Feng Xieling ace the questions like a pro. Besides he didn''t think someone sitting right opposite to him would send him a message.

 Chapter 237: Third World: Zhao Huangzhis Brew From Hell

    Chapter 237: Third World: Zhao Huangzhi''s Brew From Hell


    The expectant look in Qie Ranzhe''s eyes soon dimmed when he saw Feng Zi ignore his message. Maybe he hadn''t heard the notification tone so he sent another but like the first one it was ignored once more. The general felt a little flustered suddenly feeling like this picture was all wrong. Who exactly was pursuing whom here?


    Qie Ranzhe tapped Feng Zi''s foot under the table sessfully grasping the man''s attention. Wen Qinxi who had his foot jolted by an electrifying touch turned to look at Qie Ranzhe sensing the General''s annoyance. Qie Ranzhe pointed at his phone which Wen Qinxi immediately understood.


    In a few taps, he had the message disyed on screen supressing a smile. This was the reason why,


    Gen.Q: Where is mine?


    Gen.Q: Aren''t you pursuing me?


    Wen Qinxi immediately understood Qie Ranzhe''s implication. He actually didn''t do it on purpose. The coffee pot was empty so he turned it on intending to fetch him a cup when it was ready. He didn''t expect Qie Ranzhe would be so impatient. Finding this amusing he decided to mess with the general to his heart''s content.


    LinLin''sDad: I don''t like you?


    Qie Ranzhe secretly checked his phone expecting some kind of apology but his brows furrowed together seeming worked up. He couldn''t help but feel disappointed with a grey cloud hovering above his head. Well, this was a good thing. Wouldn''t Feng Zi liking himplicate things? He should be the least bit affected by this but why did it hurt so much. He was about to respond when he saw the typing icon show up in front of Feng Zi''s contact number.


    Staring up to him, he saw Feng Zi wearing a sly smile while typing. Nervous, he bit the inner lining of his mouth feeling like a teenager having a secretive full blown affair known by only the two of them.


    LinLin''sDad: I love you


    Qie Ranzhe felt like thousands of butterflies were dancing in his stomach reading and re-reading the message. He didn''t know what to do with such a confession which was evident on his face.


    This lost expression on Qie Ranzhe''s face got Wen Qinxi so excited that he wanted to do more. ''You want me to pursue you then it would be my pleasure,'' thought Wen Qinxi as he secretly took off his sneaker. After making sure that Airen and Feng Xieling were still engrossed in learning, he bit his lower lip with a mischievous look about his countenance and slowly slid his leg over to Qie Ranzhe''s thigh under the table.


    Qie Ranzhe''s serious expression turned nk staring at Feng Zi who seemed to be enjoying himself. He felt his body grow hot, nerve wrecked to the point of forgetting himself. The innocent general had never experienced such a thrilling yet terrifying situation as a blush crept up on his face. A few inches up and all hell broke loose. The provoked general abruptly stood up both embarrassed and angry but Wen Qinxi found this fit amusing.


    After making something that somewhat resembled muddy hot cocoa, Zhao Huangzhi gave up and grabbed the coffee pot pouring the contents in a mug. Without thinking much of it, she walked over to Qie Ranzhe who was now sitting alone. Delighted, she ced the mug in front of Qie Ranzhe and said, "I made this for you."


    Qie Ranzhe stared at her with eyes that could have predators evacuating the forest in terror. He didn''t want coffee from her but from someone else but that person didn''t seem to notice he was angry. At that thought, he got even angrier and said, "Don''t want," in a detached tone.


    "Oh," replied Zhao Huangzhi in an incredibly docile tone. She had decided to use a different approach with Qie Ranzhe which included being reasonable so she obediently walked away but sat a few feet further observing him.


    Qie Ranzhe held on for as long as he could waiting for Feng Zi to make up with him but ten minutes in Feng Zi hadn''t made his appearance. He could hear him talking but because he had his back towards them he didn''t see what the man was doing. Just as he was about to write another message toin, a mug suddenly appeared in front of him.


    "Here," said Wen Qinxi handing the hot cup of coffee. "Don''t be angry."


    With these words, Qie Ranzhe''s cold heart thawed forgetting why he was angry in the first ce but he didn''t show it on his face. Qie Ranzhe epted the apology coffee as Feng Zi exined, "I was waiting for the coffee maker to finish brewing so that''s why it seemed like l forgot you. Don''t be mad anymore, okay?"


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t say anything taking a sip of his coffee with a satisfied look in his eyes. "Is it good?"asked Wen Qinxi looking down at this troublesome CEO who was pouting like an aggrieved wife.


    "Ahem.....No, it''s not," said Qie Ranzhe lying through his teeth. This was his retaliation against Feng Zi but who would have thought his retaliation would backfire.


    Wen Qinxi took the coffee back and for a moment Qie Ranzhe thought he was confiscating it but to his surprise Feng Zi drank from it and leaned in while swallowing the sip of coffee. With their faces a pinky''s length away from each other he said, "Tastes so sweet," while staring at Qie Ranzhe''s bright moist lips from the coffee.


    Qie Ranzhe felt a burning inferno spread from his face to his entire body his heart palpitating giving off the illusion that he was about to have a heart attack.


    Feng Zi''s expression seemed to have a rather obvious meaning that he interpreted as ''for now I will settle for an indirect kiss''.


    ''Shit! I was wrong,'' thought Qie Ranzhe before he begun scolding himself. He regretted it now. He was wrong. Feng Zi''s previous actions weren''t seduction at all. This was true seduction and he had a hunch that if they were alone it would be worse.


    Zhao Huangzhi witnessed this appalling scene and in her anger she stood up to expose Feng Zi but the mobile home suddenly stopped hitting the emergency breaks. It sent Zhao Huangzhi and Wen Qinxi flying as they were the only people standing. Zhao Huangzhi kissed the floor while Wen Qinxi kissed something else. Something soft and warm that belonged to someone else.


    Qie Ranzhe was blinking his eyes in disbelief staring at Feng Zi who was taking advantage of him in public. No matter how pleasurable the feeling was, when it came to romance this Qie Ranzhe was incredibly thin skinned. It was his first kiss after all. Wen Qinxi was reluctant to part but given Qie Ranzhe''s reaction, the general might cut him to pieces right now so he awkwardly got up.


    He was just about to apologize but the sound of gun fire and Machu''s panicked radio call had everyone on their toes. Even Qie Guaiwu who was yelling at theb rats on the phone after conducting the test for the eighth time, came out of the bedroom ready for war.

 Chapter 238: Third World: Daddy Is The Best

    Chapter 238: Third World: Daddy Is The Best


    The awkwardness from the unintentional kiss dissipated into dust with the sound of gunfire and grenades permeating the air. Just a moment ago everyone was busy being tossed around due to the emergency breaks that they didn''t witness such a intimate scene. Wen Qinxi ran over in a panic checking on Feng Xieling who was being held tightly in Airen''s arms. Feng Xieling obediently ran into Feng Zi''s arms and began to cry.


    Because of his serious facade one could easily forget that he was still a kid. In this moment, he was genuinely terrified. "Dad, I am scared," he confessed his little body trembling in fright with a tear stained face.


    Wen Qinxi was distressed at this sight coaxing the little boy coiled around him like a python.


    "Shhh...it''s okay. Don''t be scared I will go deal with the bad guys, okay? Don''t cry dad will take care of everything," said Wen Qinxi with his hand brushing Feng Xieling''s short hair.


    Qie Ranzhe wanted to give him enough time to coax Feng Xieling who was covered in snot and tears but another explosion rung almost shaking the mobile home off it''s centre of gravity. "Feng Zi we have to go.....now!" said Qie Ranzhe holding Feng Zi''s elbow. The two locked gazes for a moment in tacit understanding before Wen Qinxi nodded to Airen who began to peel Feng Xieling off Feng Zi.


    With Feng Xieling screaming in the background calling out to him, Qie Guaiwu took it upon herself to stir up trouble. She blocked Feng Zi''s path while yelling at Qie Ranzhe. "These men are most definitely working for him. How can you let him go outside when they are obviously here to rescue him?" she yelled, her expression looking extremely ugly with bloodshot eyes.


    She was already having a hard time epting the shocking news that Feng Zi and her nephew actually gave birth to a kid. She hadn''t had the chance to vent out her anger at Feng Zi and ask him what he did to her nephew. In fear of not ever having the chance to have an exnation, she resolutely blocked his path with her back leaning against the door.


    Qie Ranzhe was ready to push her out of the way as his aunt was not being objective disregarding her duties but the door was suddenly opened from the outside. A wide-eyed Qie Guaiwu lost her footing fumbling around for something to hold so she wouldn''t fall. She grasped Feng Zi''s clothing on his chest expecting him to pull her up.


    But who was she kidding, this was Feng Zi after all. A malicious grin crept up on Wen Qinxi''s face intending to push her over. The mobile home could be described as a big wheeler elevated from the ground. Though the distance from the ground wasn''t high enough to cause death or injuries but it was enough of a fall to embarrass Qie Guaiwu.


    Just as he was about to remove her hand from his clothes someone else beat him to it. With eyes as wide as light bulbs, Qie Guaiwu fell to the ground cursing. With a brow raised in confusion, he turned around looking behind only to see a sullen Qie Ranzhe scowling in displeasure. ''Oh shit!...pfft Ran-ge just pushed off his aunt...,'' thought Wen Qinxi snickering within.


    Staring down at thedy sprawled on the ground covered in dust while spitting out dirt, Wen Qinxi nudged Qie Ranzhe and asked, "Did you do that?" with a smile.


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t say anything gently pushing Feng Zi forward and as he passed by his aunt he literally jumped over her without a care.


    Zhao Huangzhi,"..."


    Assistant, "...."


    Wen Qinxi wanted to enjoy this moment a little longer but the chaos outside ruined it. Atop a cliff a man standing at the back of a pick up truck noticed the red haired youth with a sleeve tattoo on his arm and raised his hand to halt the attacks.


    "Feng Zi!" he called out his voice bellowing across the valley. With the desert wind blowing in all directions, Wen Qinxi heard him but it was more like a mosquito was talking. He immediately looked in the direction from which the voice came from.


    While Machu had his men regroup and prepare for the iing battle, Qie Ranzhe stood behind Feng Zi with his rifle aimed at the man who dared to call Feng Zi.


    "This is.....," said the man yelling out but Wen Qinxi couldn''t hear the rest as the wind swept the man''s voice away.


    Wen Qinxi furrowed his brows and asked, "What did you say?" before turning his ear to listen.


    "I said.....," but like before Wen Qinxi couldn''t hear anything. Qie Ranzhe gave Feng Zi a side nce and said,


    "Are you screwing with him?"


    Wen Qinxi''s lips twitched and said, "My husband knows me too well."


    Being addressed this way, Qie Ranzhe''s heart skipped a beat, his palms sweating like he was in a steaming room. ''Isn''t this a bit too fast?'' he thought struggling to focus on his target. Finding it hard to regain hisposure, he said, "Damnit, don''t say stuff like that."


    He didn''t know whether it was the hot sun or Feng Zi''s words that had him flushed.


    Frustrated, the man atop the cliff jumped out of the pick up truck, took off his pendant and turned into a gorri. Wen Qinxi watched in amazement as the beastman skillfully got off the cliff surfing the sand heading towards them.


    "Awesoooooome," said Wen Qinxi finding this phenomenon fascinating but Qie Ranzhe was displeased. Who cares, it was just a gori? It was nothingpared to his majestic dragon appearance.


    "Nothing special," sneered Qie Ranzhe with his rifle still pointed at the man who had transformed back to his human form and was now a few feet closer.


    Wen Qinxi grinned and stared at Qie Ranzhe with an amorous gaze saying, "Yes, daddy is the best." With those words, Feng Zi vanished and reappeared in front of the man before mming him on the ground while clutching his cor.


    The general was standing there seeming befuddled. He was about to lose his shit.Feng Zi was too aggressive and inconsiderate to this inexperienced man. If it weren''t for the circumstances he would be freaking out.

 Chapter 239: Third World: Red Devil

    Chapter 239: Third World: Red Devil


    Wen Qinxi was too busy to notice the turmoil going on with the general as he had already lost his mind. His eyes reddened like a devil crawling out of hell with a mortifying smile. ''Fuck!'' swore Wen Qinxi cursing this setting that he still hadn''t gotten a hang off.


    While swearing internally, his fingers tightened on the man''s cor saying, "You actually have the balls toe after me?" his deep voice frightening enough to send shivers down the man''s spine. Anger and fear filled the man, if it weren''t for the debt he owed Feng Yu would he have willingly confronted the demon face to face.


    Everyone in the underworld was terrified of Feng Zi which earned him the nickname red devil but ever since rumour spread that the Phoenix had lost its feathers and could no longer fly, amon misconception spread. It was believed that Feng Zi''s strength had weakened but it seemed they were all lies. Feng Zi seemed worse than before.


    "R-red de-de-devil," stuttered the man looking like he was about to cry.


    Wen Qinxi was stunned. ''Red Devil? What the fuck is that?'' he thought before addressing the man, "What did you call me?"


    "Oh sorry, sorry. Young master Feng please, please forgive me. Yo-your father sent me to free you from the military. So, so let''s go," replied the man almost fainting out of fright.


    Wen Qinxi was shocked. It turns out Feng Yu thought he was beingpelled to find him so he deviced this n to get his son out. Of course, he was here of his own will so he took this opportunity to screw with Feng Yu. What would Feng Yu do when he finds out he failed to rescue his son. Wen Qinxi whispered something to the man''s ears making the man''s eyes widen in surprise.


    With the seed nted he stood up and shoved the man away. As soon as he was free the man scurried away like a coward and put up a brave front once he reached his men. Because he was trembling he struggled to climb up at the back of the pick up truck which made him look soical. His men had to help him up and as soon as he got up there he yelled, "Attack!" in a trembling voice.


    His men who had no idea what was going on immediately charged at the soldiers. Some brave men went after Feng Zi thinking the red devil had lost it''s feathers hence an easy target imagining how prestigious it would be to take down the leader of the underworld.


    Wen Qinxi who was expecting such a willful attack didn''t hesitate taking out his pistol with the men dying like flies. Seeing how good of an aim Feng Zi was they transformed into beasts and charged forward. Their thick hides could withstand a bullet which was one of the special characteristics of a beastman.


    Feeling confident in their attack they sped up rushing towards their opponent ready to shred him to pieces but Qie Ranzhe wouldn''t let that happen. He took off his pendant and a formidable dragon appeared in front of them. Qie Ranzhe grabbed Feng Zi by his ws and burnt the men to ashes.


    Wen Qinxi who was suddenly picked up the the ws felt aggrieved. Qie Ranzhe could have asked him to get on his back instead of having his ws digging into Wen Qinxi''s shoulder. It wasn''t detrimental rather an annoyance as the wind blew in Wen Qinxi''s face.


    In the great distance stood a man who closely resembled Feng Zi. He was standing still with his subordinate holding a sniper rifle aimed at the ck dragon soaring the skies breathing out searing mes to the ground. He usually didn''t show himself but when he heard his son was captured by General Qie, he had finally had enough. The general had the audacity to not only burn his son''s beautiful feathers but also shot him in cold blood all for what? A woman?


    When he discovered Qie Ranzhe''s coordinates, he made it a point to show up in person and bring down this man that had ruined his son''s life. This game of cat and mouse naturally had toe to an end. "Fire when ready," said Feng Yu before turning to leave. What he didn''t know was that Qie Ranzhe was currently holding Feng Zi which would bring harm to his son.


    With the order passed the sniper didn''t hesitate pulling the trigger but what he didn''t know was that Qie Ranzhe had exceptionally good hearing and so he heard the sound of the bullet tearing the skies aiming at his heart.


    Taken aback, Qie Ranzhe tried to dodge but because he was carrying Feng Zi he had to be cautious resulting in the bullet striking his wing instead. With the bullet tearing his left wing, Qie Ranzhe instantly cked out falling from the sky. This bullet had been especially designed by the mad scientist just for him. If it was any regr bullet things wouldn''t have turned out this way. This bullet wasrger coated with enough poison to kill an entire city yet that single dose was injected into one person.


    Wen Qinxi quickly realized what was happening. He had to do something otherwise this world would automatically reset and they would have to start again. Besides he couldn''t bear watch Qie Ranzhe die all over again. In a panic, he did the one thing Feng Zi would never do. He took off his pendant and was instantly enveloped in mes.


    His body immediately transformed and he wrapped his wing around Qie Ranzhe with the other pping trying to reduce the impact when they hit the ground. People watched as one bald pheonix and an unconscious dragon fell over a cliff like a ground seeking missile with a slim chance of survival.


    Having their mission aplished, the viins scattered heading towards their vehicles while the army personel ran towards the edge of the cliff in disbelief. Their fearless general was shot out off the sky and fell over a cliff that seem bottomless.

 Chapter 240: Third World: Mysterious Healing Powers

    Chapter 240: Third World: Mysterious Healing Powers


    Wen Qinxi woke up scared out of his mind. The area around them was dark and foggy but because his body could transform into a phoenix, he could see clear enough. He shuffled over to the gigantic dragon sprawled on the ground. Wen Qinxi had transformed back to his human form after he passed out but Qie Ranzhe hadn''t transformed back yet.


    Anxious, Wen Qinxi came over to check on Qie Ranzhe but he didn''t know where to check. He had no idea how a dragon''s anatomy worked which made him feel helpless. There was no ce to check for a pulse on Qie Ranzhe''s ck scaly skin making him even more panicked.


    He decided to put his hand over the dragon''s nose, maybe he did be able to feel Qie Ranzhe''s breath. Scared of the unknown, he knelt down beside the general''s head and slowly stretched his palm over the fire breathing dragon''s nose. Though he seemed calm, Wen Qinxi was aplete mess within. He really didn''t want to experience the pain of losing Qie Ranzhe again. A feeling simr to that of your heart being ripped apart was a pain Wen Qinxi could never forget.


    His hand hovered over Qie Ranzhe''s nose for a while without feeling anything and with each passing second his eyes began to blur with tears obscuring his vision. Just when he was about to give up, he felt a warmth spread across his palm making his body shiver.


    "Okay, okay, his alive, his alive.....haha, okay," said a relieved Wen Qinxi chuckling out of pure sce. At least he had resolved one issue, Qie Ranzhe was alive but in came the second issue. How was he going to keep it that way?


    In fast steps, he walked over to Qie Ranzhe''s injured wing only to have his heart sink. There was a fist size hole on Qie Ranzhe''s wing which didn''t make sense because he was struck by a bullet not a rocket. The wound looked unsightly with boils too painful to look at. The boils seemed to be spreading and very soon they would spread to the rest of Qie Ranzhe''s body. He knew he had to do something but this nerd wasn''t a doctor with bare minimum knowledge of first aid.


    There was only one thing he could think of and that was the system. "Jolie, I know you are here. You want toe out and say something?" asked Wen Qinxi but as expected the system didn''t respond. The sassy system seemed docile all of a sudden which was troublesome. What was it so afraid of?


    "Jolie, if you don''te out now you will regret it," said Wen Qinxi resorting to scare tactics. That seemed to work because the system suddenly made its appearance not sure who it was more terrified of, the overbearing CEO or his crazy wife.


    "B-boss, uh sorry. I was um, I ah," said the system unable to exin itself. It didn''t know the meaning of the word fear till that incident with Qie Ranzhe. Now it was so terrified toe out whenever he was around.


    "Oh no need to exin I know you were cowering away. He passed out and whatever this is, it''s spreading. What should I do?" said Wen Qinxi rubbing his forehead with trembling hands. He was clearly anxious and didn''t have time to squabble with the system.


    "I.....um," said the system not sure if it should mention this. There was a special setting on Feng Zi''s character that didn''t make sense.


    "Jolie just say it, please," said Wen Qinxi blinking away a tear. He didn''t want to cry but whenever he thought of losing Qie Ranzhe all over again, he couldn''t handle it.


    The system could obviously read the situation and said, "Use your blood. Just a few drops on his wound and he will be better in no time."


    Wen Qinxi was puzzled but didn''t have time to think it through looking for something sharp to cut across his palm. For a moment, he almost forgot his fear of pain looking for anything with a sharp edge.


    After minutes of frantic searching, he found a rough edged rock. It wasn''t sharp enough but it would get the job done. This was an act now ask questionster type of situation.


    Just as he ced the rock on his trembling palm it finally dawned on him. "Fuck!" swore Wen Qinxi realising what he was about to do. Beads of cold sweat formed on his forehead his face turning ashen pale. Was he really going to do this? Even the system was looking to see if Wen Qinxi would really do this, it was a pity it didn''t have time to rope in the two nerds in the game room into a bet.


    While the system was counting its losses, Wen Qinxi was having a hard time questioning his life choices. He decided to bite the bullet. How painful could it be right? He toughened up and pressed the jagged end of the rock on his palm. Soon the deste peaceful valley echoed blood curdling screams that terrified the vultures out of their nests.


    "Boss, did you have to scream like that? The pain index is the same a-," said the system before Wen Qinxi interjected with a pained expression.


    "Don''t you fuckin say it, this fuckin hurts," his teary eyes stinging due to the excruciating pain. He really had mad respect for women, who dared say they are weak?


    Wen Qinxi squeezed his palm his heart beating at an rming rate that even the boys in the game room noticed. As soon as the crimson drops of blood dropped on Qie Ranzhe''s injury it began to heal at a rate visible to the naked eye. Stunned out of his mind, Wen Qinxi was ted thinking he was some kind of human panacea or something.


    "How, how is that even possible? What? Is it some kind of super power?" asked Wen Qinxi as he excitedly watch the boils disappear. He really couldn''t believe it.

 Chapter 241: Third World: Drunken Night Memories Come To Light

    Chapter 241: Third World: Drunken Night Memories Come To Light


    "I just saw this setting but it shouldn''t be like this. Maybe it is some kind of mystery," said the system really scratching its head over this issue. None of it seemed to make sense.


    This was the least of Wen Qinxi''s concerns, he had to get Qie Ranzhe out of the cold and find shelter for the night. They had to figure out a way to get out of this valley tomorrow otherwise they might end up losing their lead. Plus, he was anxious to get Feng Xieling back. He trusted in Airen''s ability but feared Qie Guaiwu''s determination.


    As soon as the wound healed, Qie Ranzhe transformed back to his human form with rays of blue light enveloping him till he returned to his usual self. Wen Qinxi managed to find an empty cave nearby and carried Qie Ranzhe over. His anxiety had dissipated seeing that the man''splexion was getting better and better.


    After lighting a fire, Wen Qinxi made a bed of leaves andy down in Qie Ranzhe''s arms. He stayed up half the night hoping Qie Ranzhe would wake up but it was to no avail. He ended up falling asleep cuddled up with the CEO with no care in the world. As long as this man was still living, nothing else mattered.


    While Wen Qinxi was standing guard, Qie Ranzhe was stuck in a strange dream that kept ying over and over again but this dream was in fragments barely making any sense. The figures in the dream were blurred at the beginning but as it reyed over and over again, it became even more clearer.


    Parts of the dream weren''t new to him as these were past events but as the dream went on it showed things Qie Ranzhe had absolutely no memory of. This dream was of the day Feng Zi got him drunk and stole the codes from his father''s home office. Everything after he got drunk were a blur but it seemed the memory of what happened wasing back to him in this dream.


    It seemed after he got drunk, Feng Zi carried him to the bed and helped him take off his shoes. Qie Ranzhe seemed to ask Feng Zi why he liked Zhao Huangzhi but Feng Zi didn''t answer. It was true that Feng Zi liked Zhao Huangzhi first and Qie Ranzhe seemed to develop interest in her afterwards. But what was so special about her that these two friends became enemies ruining each other''s lives.


    That night, in his drunken stupor Qie Ranzhe finally asked the question but when he didn''t get a response, he did the most outrageous thing. He kissed Feng Zi but Feng Zi didn''t take it well and pped him. This is how their feud turned fatal but Qie Ranzhe never got his answer. What was so special about Zhao Huangzhi? Was she worth losing their friendship?


    This dream reyed like a broken record until Qie Ranzhe had an epiphany. It was never about Zhao Huangzhi, it had always been about Feng Zi. With that revtion the dreamscape cracked and Qie Ranzhe rose from his slumber with a clear mind.


    With a sheepish look, he woke up unable to recognize where he was. He recalled the events that took ce yesterday and that his wing was injured. As the detailed memories of the previous night flooded his mind he began to panic. He was holding Feng Zi as he dropped from the sky but Feng Zi was no where in sight.


    His body shuddered in anxiety as he ran outside calling out Feng Zi''s name. Imagining the worst, he called out to him while aimlessly running around like a headless chicken. Just as he decided to transform and search from above, Feng Zi suddenly showed up with two cleaned fish on a stick.


    Wen Qinxi stopped in his tracks when he saw Qie Ranzhe standing there with a panicked look. A smile crept up on his face before taking a step forward but Qie Ranzhe ran over to him and began to inspect him like a ragdoll checking for injuries. He didn''t know what he would do if Feng Zi was missing even a single strand on his head.


    "Haha, I am fine. Stop worrying so much," said Wen Qinxi feeling helpless, "You should at least buy me a drink first before touching me everywhere. Are you trying to seduce me?"


    Qie Ranzhe felt like his face was on fire letting go of Feng Zi. He had indeed thoroughly inspected the goods with his hands all over him. He was about to take a step back when he saw a scar across Feng Zi''s palm. The ever so calm General panicked once more massaging his palm with a sullen expression. His head lowered he couldn''t help but me himself for being careless.


    Wen Qinxi''s gaze was locked on Qie Ranzhe with tender feelings surrounding them. He didn''t like to see Qie Ranzhe ming himself for this so he diverted his attention and asked, "How are you feeling?"


    Qie Ranzhe who was stuck in a trance a moment ago lifted his head and said, "I am fine but.....how did l heal this fast. Normally it would take me a month or so to recover....does this wound have anything to do with it?" It didn''t make sense at all to the general. This wound wasn''t from the fall so it had to have happened afterwards.


    Wen Qinxi didn''t hide it from him exining what exactly happened but none of it made sense to either of them. In all the years that they had known each other Feng Zi never showed any signs of having healing powers or maybe it was because neither of them paid attention. Wen Qinxi did notice he healed very fast when he got shot by Qie Ranzhe but he assumed it was some game setting and brushed it off. It turns out something was up.


    The two left the mystery for another day as they carried on with their camping experience roasting fish on a campfire before finding a way out of the valley.

 Chapter 242: Third World: Feeding Each Other In A Cave

    Chapter 242: Third World: Feeding Each Other In A Cave


    Qie Ranzhe had his heart in his mouth the entire time he was sitting opposite Feng Zi. The dream had spooked him making him more jumpy than usual. Though his countenance remained unreadable his bodynguage spoke volumes. It now made sense to him why Feng Zi liked him, maybe he remembered the kiss and just didn''t say anything. But what was up with the years he relentlessly chased after Zhao Huangzhi? None of this made sense.


    "You eat up first and replenish your energy. We can try and fly back up when you feel better," said Wen Qinxi handing over some roasted fish to Qie Ranzhe. He didn''t notice that Qie Ranzhe epted but remained absent minded. It would be suprising if he actually heard what Feng Zi was saying.


    "I checked it out just now. You can''t even see the top of the cliff because its covered with dark clouds," said Wen Qinxi before blowing some air on his roasted fish.


    Seeing those pink pouting lips, Qie Ranzhe couldn''t help but stare recalling his dream and the idental kiss in the mobile home. Blood rushed to his face as he bit his lower lip remembering the sweet sensation.


    His line of sight didn''t shift, staring at Feng Zi nibbling on the fish like a timid girl eating in the presence of her crush. A smile cracked on Qie Ranzhe''s face as a warm spring sprung in his chest.


    Maybe it was because Wen Qinxi felt Qie Ranzhe''s gaze on him that he asked, "Are you undressing me with your eyes? You can do it with your hands as well. I really don''t mind," as his smile broadened. As expected Qie Ranzhe averted his gaze having been caught which made Wen Qinxi pleased with himself.


    Qie Ranzhe was the shameless one in the second world tormenting and teasing him non-stop but in this world he had turned into a paper tiger fascinating Wen Qinxi. He loved teasing this man till his face was as ripe as cherries.


    "Why aren''t you eating?" asked Wen Qinxi before moving in closer settling right beside Qie Ranzhe with their bodies glued together, "Here, hold this." Wen Qinxi handed Qie Ranzhe his fish and took the one that belonged to the general. Before Qie Ranzhe could say anything, Wen Qinxi began to peel off the fleshy parts of the skin removing bones from it before lifting his fingers towards Qie Ranzhe''s lips.


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t immediately react thinking how many rules of his that Feng Zi broke. But he didn''t seem bothered by it from the get go. Why didn''t it irritate him when it was Feng Zi? If it was anyone else they might have had their hand chopped off by now.


    "Ran-ge, eat. There are no bones...I promise," said Wen Qinxi trying to encourage the general who was wearing a meaningful expression. For a second he actually thought Qie Ranzhe wouldn''t eat from his hand.


    Qie Ranzhe suddenly lowered his head and ate the white fleshy parts in between Feng Zi''s fingers identally licking Feng Zi''s fingers in the process. Wen Qinxi beamed joyously, his face burning while licking his own fingers in turn. The atmosphere turned heavy with sparks flying were their bodies touched.


    Qie Ranzhe felt a burning desire wailing up within when he saw Feng Zi lick the same fingers that were in his mouth. The kind of burning desire that wouldn''t go away unless taken care of.


    He obediently ate whatever Feng Zi put in his mouth his affectionate gaze fixated on the man. Like this, Wen Qinxi fed the both of them till both fish were gone. Qie Ranzhe felt a tinge of disappointment when the fish finished but he knew they had to get back up the cliff otherwise Feng Xieling, Airen and Machu would worry. If it weren''t for that he would have gone fishing immediately and roast the fish with his dragon me so Feng Zi could feed him again.


    "There....done. Are you full?" said Wen Qinxi asking the most ridiculous question. Of course, Qie Ranzhe wasn''t full but he didn''t want to go fishing again. Fishing was too troublesome and he was worried for Feng Xieling. They had to go back.


    As though he read his mind, Qie Ranzhe said, "We have to go back. I think I am well enough."


    "Are you certain?" asked Wen Qinxi rising to his feet. As much as he liked spending some alone time with Qie Ranzhe, they had to go back. Besides Feng Xieling, he also had a score to settle with those gangsters. How dare they hurt his man.


    Outside the cave, Qie Ranzhe transformed to his majestic dragon form and had Feng Zi ride on his back. Petrified of falling off, Wen Qinxi wrapped his arms around Qie Ranzhe''s neck and held on so tight. He enjoyed the feeling of Qie Ranzhe''s scaly skin on his palm so he stroked it with no reservations before they took off.


    If he weren''t in his dragon form right now, Wen Qinxi would have noticed Qie Ranzhe''s blushing face. To cover up his nervousness, Qie Ranzhe soared the skies both elegant and precise as expected of a majestic beast.


    Wen Qinxi who was caught by surprise held on much tighter with the wind brushing against his body. This was exactly what Qie Ranzhe wanted, being held tightly by Feng Zi felt so good. Like a powerful missile, Qie Ranzhe cut through the clouds before emerging out of the clouds painting an artistic scene in the blue skies, a scene that was hard to miss.


    The soldiers that had been nning a rescue mission were surprised, immediately putting down everything looking up to the sky in astonishment. If it weren''t for the dy in passing down an order by General Qie Guaiwu they would have left to search for Qie Ranzhe a long time ago. Just as they had gotten her approval, Qie Ranzhe showed up unharmed with Feng Zi on his back.


    To express his displeasure, Qie Ranzhe''s roar permeated the skies with a zing stream of mes escaping his mouth. He waspletely different from how he was with Feng Zi a minute ago. After terrifying his subordinates to death, hended on the ground and patiently waited for Feng Zi to get off his back before transforming back to his human form.

 Chapter 243: Third World: General Qie Is The Daddy

    Chapter 243: Third World: General Qie Is The Daddy


    Wen Qinxi wanted to cool Qie Ranzhe''s jets for these poor soldiers but he had other matters to attend to so he silently disappeared while the general scolded his men. As soon as he opened the door of the mobile home, he couldn''t find Feng Xieling, only Zhao Huangzhi and Qie Guaiwu were in the mobile home. Seeing Feng Zi had returned, she said something to him but Wen Qinxi didn''t bother with her and looked around for his boy.


    He didn''t really have to search for long as he caught sight of Airen and Feng Xieling near one of his vehicles with his men surrounding them. "Lin Lin!" cried out Wen Qinxi.


    As soon as the little dumpling caught sight of his dad, nothing else mattered. He cut through the group of men and darted towards Feng Zi. His father was okay, that''s all that mattered to him. Father and son embraced each other in joyous reunion disregarding everyone else.


    "Why are you guys out here?" asked Wen Qinxi while carrying Feng Xieling in his arms. Airen didn''t hesitate to reiterate the night''s events. It turns out Qie Guaiwu dyed the rescue mission saying that Airen should go down the cliff as none of their soldiers could transform into flying beasts but Airen knew that once she left, she might not see Feng Xieling ever again. Qie Guaiwu actually lied, she had at least three soliders who can transform to flying beasts. The two parties were stuck in a stalemate till this morning. Having lost to Airen, she had no other choice but to send those three men. As to the reason why they weren''t in the mobile home, it was because of this disagreement.


    Pissed off, Wen Qinxi told his men to get in their vehicles before cing Feng Xieling in his car seat. That bitch dared to steal his son while he was away. Angered to the point of losing rationality he took the wheel and led his convoy towards the bordends leaving the army behind.


    Qie Ranzhe who was still venting out his anger noticed Feng Zi''s convoy leaving without letting him know. He immediately got into his SUV with Machu and followed. The rest of the soldiers panicked not knowing what to do or whose orders to follow. They listened to Qie Guaiwu because she out ranked Qie Ranzhe but after being yelled at they weren''t sure anymore. By the time Qie Guaiwu was informed, the only thing she could see was the fading dust cloud left behind by Qie Ranzhe''s car.


    "What the fuck are you waiting for? Move, move, move!" she yelled feeling a headacheing up. Qie Ranzhe had changed a lot, he was now a ticking time bomb with no regard of military rules. The men immediately packed up and followed after Qie Ranzhe.


    Meanwhile in Qie Ranzhe''s car, Machu who was driving handed over a tablet to Qie Ranzhe and said, "The results from the test came outst night. You can take a look, I haven''t opened them." Last night, he had got a scolding from theb manager who was pissed off because he had already run a DNA test on the same person more than ten times already. This is when Machu found out that General Qie Guaiwu had the same idea as Qie Ranzhe.


    He didn''t open the results because he was scared to know what was in it. He was also preupiedst night trying to figure out a way to get down the 1,000 meter (0.6miles) cliff without flying beastmen.


    If this kid is the General''s then who is the mother? Besides Feng Zi, he had known Qie Ranzhe the longest and had never seen him interested in any other woman apart from Zhao Huangzhi and if Zhao Huangzhi wasn''t the mother then who else was that close to Qie Ranzhe? He was very curious and could only wait for Qie Ranzhe to return so he could ask him.


    Qie Ranzhe opened the document his mind in a haze. He was upset that Feng Zi just up and left without him. He could understand why Feng Zi was upset but why did he have to leave him behind? Weren''t they good just a minute ago?


    It took Qie Ranzhe a moment to clear his mind when he finally read the results in detail. Thunderstruck, Qie Ranzhe remained frozen in shock with his face turning pale. He was so shocked that he didn''t hear Machu calling out to him. Machu was wondering what could be so bad that it had Qie Ranzhe reacting this way. Curiosity got the best of him despite the fact that he was driving so he took the tablet from Qie Ranzhe.


    In the middle of the desert, a ck SUV suddenly hit emergency breaks with a cloud of dust forming behind. "Shit!" yelled Machu his eyes wide open in disbelief. He couldn''t believe it. How was that possible?


    "No.....no, no, no, that makes no fucking sense," said Machu tossing the tablet back before starting the car once more. None of this made any sense.


    If Machu was this freaked out how about the man who just found out he had a child with his friend sh enemy sh pursuer. Even he couldn''t believe how crazy it sounds. "Boss did you and him?" asked a perplexed Machu but the response he got made him retreat in his shell.


    "No! What the fuck!" said Qie Ranzhe disbelieving of this situation, not that it was bad having a kid with Feng Zi. He just couldn''t think of a way that could be possible. They never slept together even if they did it wouldn''t result in a pregnancy. It wasn''t anatomically possible.


    "Maybe you should ask him," said Machu trying to keep his focus on driving.


    Qie Ranzhe massaged the space between his brows and sighed deeply before saying, "Even if I ask him its pointless because he doesn''t remember anything about the night he got me drunk." He felt a wave ofplicated feelings but one thing was certain. How ever it happened he still had to take responsibility of Feng Zi.

 Chapter 244: Third World: Drunk Epiphanies

    Chapter 244: Third World: Drunk Epiphanies


    There is an old saying that states, drink but don''t get drunk but it seemed Qie Ranzhe didn''t get the memo. Under Machu''s encouragement they headed to a restaurant downtown just as they reached the bordends. He didn''t even get a chance to speak to Feng Zi when they arrived. It seemed like Feng Zi was still furious as he was deliberately ignoring him.


    Wen Qinxi''s anger was absolutely justified, who in this world wouldn''t blow a fuse if they found out someone wanted to abduct their child? Yes it was just a game but the feelings were real. That kid represented the happiest time of his life and someone dared to taint that.


    Since things were like this, Qie Ranzhe decided to drown his sorrows apanied by Machu. The two tipsy men tried to make sense of everything but no matter how much they analysed, none of it added up.


    "So, so you didn''t do the birds and the bees.... with him but hahaha you still got a man pregnant?" said a flush faced Machu before stuffing some hot wings into his mouth. It was a good thing they were in a private room otherwise the entire world would wake up to the headline ''General Qie gets a baby without the blissful moment''.


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t reply choosing to down another shot of Baiju with a dreamy expression. Staring at Qie Ranzhe, Machu didn''t know what he was thinking and could only say, "What is the purpose of your face? Di-did you actually do it with him and you are just lying to me? I thought....I, Machu and you, Ranzhe are bestfriends but turns out we are not. Then what am i doing here?" before making a miserable attempt to stand up. Yes, he went that low. The only way to get the truth out of Qie Ranzhe was emotional ckmail.


    As expected, Qie Ranzhe pulled him back down and poured more for him urging him to stay. "Drink," said Qie Ranzhe his ssy eyes looking at Machu. Since Machu wanted the truth, he would dly dish it out to his drunk friend which meant he would forget everything the next morning.


    It was only after Machu drank the entire ss that Qie Ranzhe finally opened his mouth.


    "I kissed him, that''s all," confessed Qie Ranzhe causing Machu to exaggeratedly gasp before saying,


    "General Qie is indeed so powerful. You got a man pregnant with just a kiss....hahaha so you can easily get a woman pre-pregnant by sneezing.....hahaha," in a loud voice that could be heard for miles if there wasn''t any sound proofing. "May-maybe Ran-ge should start wearing a mask where ever he goes otherwise the child maintenance will suck your bank, bank ount dry."


    Of course, Qie Ranzhe knew his friend was talking nonsense but he didn''t care. He decided to open up and express his repressed feelings. "I think I.... ahem..... I definitely made a mistake," said Qie Ranzhe before falling silent for a while. It was a good thing the drunk Machu was patiently waiting for him to continue while obediently stuffing his mouth with some spicy hot wings.


    After a good moment of thinking it over, he said, "I don''t know if it makes sense but I... I started pursuing Zhao Huangzhi because Feng Zi was interested in her. At that time I..... I didn''t realise that I actually disliked the fact the Feng Zi liked her. I hate to admit it but I agreed to go out with Zhao Huangzhi because I didn''t want her to be with Feng Zi and when Feng Zi lost interest in her I was so happy. Uh, shit! That makes me feel stupid. I caused him such heartache," with a sullen expression.


    From this conversation, Machu who could barely keep his eyes open deduced one thing. Qie Ranzhe was most definitely a whipped boyfriend. He was hopelessly in love with the father of his child.


    "Then why are you wasting time here? Ran-ge go, go get your man," said the drunk Machu gently pping Qie Ranzhe''s face like a puppy intentionally provoking a tiger. Qie Ranzhe''s face darkenedmending his friend for being stupidly brazen. What saved Machu that night was because he had lend Qie Ranzhe an ear otherwise Machu would have woken up tied up to a pole in a football field. And yes, Qie Ranzhe had done it before when Machu dared to dip his fingers into his food.


    "You are right," said Qie Ranzhe standing up to leave but just as he held the door handle to open the door to exit the private room, a loud thud resounded in the room. Machu had tried to stand up but came tumbling down face first like timber. Groaning in pain Machu lifted a finger with his face still kissing the floor saying, "I think, I think I am drunk."


    Qie Ranzhe suppressed the urge tough and carried him out the room towards the hotel. He really wasn''t in the mood to take care of the drunk Machu as he himself was tipsy. He intended to pass Machu along to any of his subordinates he met along the way but the only person he bumped into was Airen. Recalling the punch from the other day, a wicked smile crept up Qie Ranzhe''s face. It was time for Airen to pay the piper.


    With remarkable speed and precision, he dropped Machu in her hands and said, "He''s your problem now," before vanishing into thin air like a seasoned magician.


    Airen wanted to refuse and hand Machu back to the general but Qie Ranzhe had vanished without a trace. Feeling yed she swore, "Fuck!" nning to put Machu down. Because of her gigantic height and strength she could easily carry Machu but just because she could didn''t mean she would. She decisively put the man down but Machu shamelessly wrapped his arm around Airen''s neck refusing to let go.


    "Airen.... ah it''s you? Waaaaa..... so pretty" eximed Machu who was being carried in a princess carry not the least bit concerned with the onlooker''s gazes.


    If she was hesitating then, she wasn''t hesitating now. She immediately knocked on one of the sergeants'' door and dropped off this hot potato with slightly red ears.


    While Airen was running away from Machu, Qie Ranzhe was sneaking into Feng Zi''s room. He was expecting to find Feng Xieling sleeping besides his dad but to his surprise, the kid wasn''t there. Feng Zi was alone in bed with the faint light rays from the streetmp outside reflecting on his porcin jade like skin.


    Without thinking twice he took off his shoes and crawled into bed before settling right next to the sleeping man. Soon he was lying down staring at Feng Zi''s handsome face but looking alone wasn''t enough. Even he couldn''t understand where the courage came from. It was most likely from the alcohol. Where ever it came from, it didn''t matter but what he did next. He stretched out his hand and tucked Feng Zi''s red hair behind his ear.

    Chapter 245: Third World: Drunk Indulgence (Slight NSFW)


    Feng Zi frowned as though he was about to wake up but he didn''t, with his creased brow smoothing out. This made the general even more brazen. With his slender fingers he touched Feng Zi''s eye gently caressing it with his thumb before caressing his cheek followed by his slightly parted lips. Once his thumb touched Feng Zi''s lips, Qie Ranzhe''s eyes darkened with a glint of obsession. With his heart pounding against his chest, he made a resolute decision. He wanted to kiss those pink lips till their swollen. He would only be satisfied until he lives a lip hickey on those gorgeous lips and let the whole world know Feng Zi belongs to him.


    He shuffled closer as silently as possible but his actions were soon discovered as Feng Zi finally rose from his slumber.


    Wen Qinxi who had been dreaming a pleasant dream murdering Qie Guaiwu was shocked when he opened his eyes only to find Qie Ranzhe staring at him. "Fuck! Ran-ge, what the fuck!" cursed Wen Qinxi trying to calm his rattled heart. Was this bing a thing? It surprised him that he hadn''t woken up earlier. Wen Qinxi began to scold himself for sleeping like the dead with no vignce. As to how Qie Ranzhe got his room key, who knows? If Feng Xieling could get the room key what of Qie Ranzhe?


    Soon the smell of alcohol reached Wen Qinxi''s nose so he said, "You are drunk, aren''t you?"


    Qie Ranzhe hurriedly denied while drawing Feng Zi into his arms. "I am not, you test me. I am definitely not drunk," said Qie Ranzhe with their foreheads stuck together.


    Wen Qinxi red at him with a hint of skepticism. Wasn''t this guy shy a moment ago now he was taking the initiative. Wen Qinxi couldn''t help but be suspicious. "If you aren''t drunk then go take a shower," he said testing to see if the man was really drunk or not.


    To his surprise, Qie Ranzhe obediently got off the bed and in sober steady steps, he walked to the bathroom. The sound of water running was soon heard which was surprisingly soothing to the ear inciting Wen Qinxi to drift off to sleep once more. Ten minutester, the not so drunk man exited the bathroom and put on some cks before crawling into bed once more.


    This time he confidently kissed Feng Zi''s neck which was followed by Feng Zi''s sleepy mumbles and lewd kissing sounds. Wen Qinxi who was awoken once more pushed Qie Ranzhe away and as soon as Qie Ranzhe fell back on the bed, he said, "You are definitely drunk. Be good or I will kick you out."


    Qie Ranzhe wasn''t at all threatened by his words and said, "Didn''t you ask Feng Xieling to sleep in Airen''s room so we could have some alone time," while gently rubbing Feng Zi''s neck as though contemting on whether to kiss Feng Zi or not.


    Wen Qinxi who had been seen through didn''t deny it saying, "Yes, I did but you are drunk so what''s the point? You won''t even remember what happened tonight the very next morning," removing Qie Ranzhe''s hand that felt like scalding iron on his skin. Like he said before, he doesn''t take advantage of drunk people and Qie Ranzhe''s eyes spelt drunk though the man seemed to be behaving normally.


    A sweet smile crept up on Qie Ranzhe''s face asking, "Wait, so you wanted to do something with me tonight?....Then let''s not waste this opportunity." Thest sentence was spoken when Feng Zi didn''t respond.


    Qie Ranzhe took the initiative to nt a gentle kiss on Wen Qinxi''s lips. The familiar sweet taste made his entire body tingle. Seeing that Wen Qinxi let him, Qie Ranzhe kissed him again. The kiss that began as gentle and tender suddenly turned fervent and passionate like a sudden gash of cravings exploded and came rushing out. Like a vampire that hadn''t had a single drop of blood for more than a century, Qie Ranzhe had his way with those sweet lips till they resembled a rosebud.


    With a touch of his lips, Wen Qinxi could feel Qie Ranzhe''s hot breath mixed in with a minty taste presumably from the toothpaste. A wave of excitement spread across his body as his smooth lips opened at the brush of Qie Ranzhe''s tongue weing his intrusion. His body eagerly responded teasing Qie Ranzhe''s moist tongue with his inciting a familiar intense feeling.


    Unbeknownst to himself, Wen Qinxi moaned driving Qie Ranzhe insane. Qie Ranzhe shifted his body till he had Feng Zi pinned against the bed. His lips didn''t part from Feng Zi''s, his teeth tugging at those lips while his tongue sloppily licked inside Feng Zi''s mouth. The temperature between them was getting heated as Qie Ranzhe sucked on Feng Zi''s bottom lip with his unruly hands grasping the man''s hips.


    Wen Qinxi had most definitely lost his mind at this point with his stray hand moving downwards before rubbing against Qie Ranzhe''s bulging rod inside the cks. Being touched at this ce Qie Ranzhe couldn''t hold back a groan whispering, "Ah, that feels so good."


    Wen Qinxi didn''t need further convincing as he untied the pants'' string with a hint of urgency but before he ced his hands inside he asked, "You sure you aren''t drunk? You promise you will remember this tomorrow morning?" with his hot breath brushing against Qie Ranzhe''s ear making him gasp with pleasure.


    "I promise I am not. I will definitely remember this now touch me," said Qie Ranzhe urging him on to touch his erection.


    With his mind at ease, Wen Qinxi let go of his restraints while his hand wiggled its way into Qie Ranzhe''s pants. In his hand he now held the stiff member that was scolding to the touch.


    With his past experience he worked magic with his hands with Qie Ranzhe''s asional moans and groans flooding the room. "Ah.....faster baby.....right there....ah just like that," said the lustful Qie Ranzhe as an electric feeling spread all over his body with the rhythmic motion of Feng Zi''s hand.


    Paired with the fact that Qie Ranzhe was intoxicated and Wen Qinxi''s skilled actions, it didn''t take long for the CEO to shoot all over Wen Qinxi''s hand crying out his name, "Ah.....Zi-didi...ah that''s so good, ah."


    Wen Qinxi''s smile was barely visible in the dark as Qie Ranzhe''s body convulsed above him releasing in his hand. Feeling weak, Qie Ranzhe copsed on top of Feng Zi with his face buried in Feng Zi''s neck.


    After giving him enough time to recover, Wen Qinxi said, "Shall we continue," but Qie Ranzhe didn''t respond.


    Wen Qinxi helped him up only to find the man''s breathing had evened out and his eyes were shut. "What the fuck! He actually fell asleep?" mumbled Wen Qinxi helping him lie back down. "Shit!" he swore feeling like he had just been tricked by the drunk Qie Ranzhe. Wen Qinxi had no choice but to settle his affairs in the bathroom vowing to get even with Qie Ranzhe tomorrow morning.

 Chapter 246: Third World: Groped By The General In His Sleep

    Chapter 246: Third World: Groped By The General In His Sleep


    Wen Qinxi was extremely dissatisfied withst night''s events that he barely got some shut-eye. He was so restless that he ended up waking up just before sunrise. It seemed that Qie Ranzhe wasn''t done taking advantage of him. Even in his sleep the General groped him a couple of times. Just a few days ago he had justbelled Qie Ranzhe as a paper tiger but boy was he wrong. What paper tiger? The man was more like a smiling tiger. If he weren''t upset aboutst night he would have fully basked in this moment and most probably ate some tofu. He finally managed to peel off Qie Ranzhe''s arms that were wrapped around him and went to take a shower yet again. After being groped for the entire night it would be odd if there wasn''t any reaction.


    Wen Qinxi sat in the chair after taking what could only be described as the longest shower in his entire life. He had been spoilt so much in the second world and he was forced to go through sobriety. Wasn''t Qie Ranzhe too cruel? He sat in that chair for an entire hour waiting for the used to wake up. No matter how you looked at it this scene looked extremely creepy.


    Feeling the burning gaze boring through his skin, Qie Ranzhe finally woke up. His longshes fluttered under the sunlight passing through the gaps of the thick curtain. This sight was picturesque and handsome but Wen Qinxi had no time to admire him because of his anger.


    The groggy Qie Ranzhe patted the space beside him. Once he discovered it was empty and cold, he sat up straight in a daze before scanning around looking for Feng Zi. His heart jolted with fright when he saw Feng Zi sitting in the chair staring at him with dark eyes. Though he was startled he did a great job hiding it. With a sheepish grin, he asked, "Why are you looking at me like I owe you money?"


    If he had to tally up how much Qie Ranzhe owed him, he would fill a foot long piece of paper but this wasn''t the right time to discuss that. "Do you remember what you didst night?" asked Wen Qinxi leaning forward but being faced with Qie Ranzhe''s rock hard abs, he couldn''t think straight anymore. For a moment, his gaze was fixated on Qie Ranzhe leering at the shirtless man.


    Qie Ranzhe naturally noticed this gaze and felt pleased with himself. His past self would feel timid butst night gave him so much balls that he decided to tease Feng Zi. "I don''t remember. Why don''t youe over and help me remember," he said in a honeyed voice that could convince any maidenmitted to their chastity to roll in between the sheets for a one night stand.


    But his silver tongue was useless on Wen Qinxi because he didn''t focus on the tone but the words. He knew this man was screwing with himst night, to make matters worse he even dared ask him for the details. If he wasn''t angry then, he was most definitely angry now. Wen Qinxi picked up the pillow that had been lying on the floor due to the previous night''s escapades and flung it at the man who was pretending to y dumb.


    ***


    On the breakfast table a sulky Feng Xieling sat next to Airen waiting for his dad who was standing near the entrance of the restaurant discussing something with Qie Ranzhe and Machu. He wore a scowl on his face glowering at Qie Ranzhe who stood so close to his dad as though he was afraid Feng Zi would disappear at any moment. Not only that, Qie Ranzhe would asionally ce his arm on Feng Zi''s waist which Feng Zi would swat away ever so often.


    Feng Xieling couldn''t helpin to the only person sitting right beside him. "He''s weird. Why does he touch my dad like that?"


    Actually, Feng Xieling had witnessed a lot more than that earlier on. He had woken up earlier than usual and obediently washed up. His motive was simple, he wanted to go see his dad who had refused to have him sleep over. He was dissatisfied by this arrangement but being a good boy he listened to his dad. Because of that he woke up early and the first thing he did was go over to his dad''s room. Just as he turned the corner, the door of his dad''s room was suddenly opened. Seeing that it was Feng Zi, he was thrilled and was just about to rush over but Qie Ranzhe came out soon after.


    As a curious creature, he hid behind snooping on his dad. He felt bad for doing such a thing but Qie Ranzhe always gave him a sense of crisis that was hard to get rid of. He hated the fact that he couldn''t read general Qie and didn''t know the man''s intentions for his dad. With that in mind, he hid and eavesdropped on their conversation. He didn''t hear much but discovered one thing, General Qie was extremely handsy when it came to his dad. The General didn''t seem to know the definition of personal space and clung to his dad down the corridor all the way to the elevator. From his angle, it seemed like Qie Ranzhe was coaxing his dad.


    With his curiousity unabated, he dashed towards the staircase and beat the elevator to the ground floor. As soon as the elevator door opened, he saw Feng Zi straightening out his clothes while Qie Ranzhe brushed Feng Zi''s disheveled hair. ''Did they fight?'' was Feng Xieling''s thought when he saw this. He was about to do something when he saw Qie Ranzhe bite his dad''s lips.


    Thinking he had to defend his dad''s honour, Feng Xieling rushed over like a raging bull and kicked Qie Ranzhe in the shin before forcing them apart. "Don''t bite my dad. Get away from him," he said in that moment rescuing his dad.


    But what happened next was unexpected. Qie Ranzhe picked him up, pinched his cheek and said, "If someone other than me bites your dad''s lips, don''t just kick their shin. You should stab it and let me deal with the aftermath."


    Feng Xieling was undoubtedly vexed. Though barely visible, he could clearly see Feng Zi''s swollen lip but his dad wasn''t angry. In fact his dad was glowing like the bright moon on a dark inky night. This didn''t make sense to him.


    So for the past ten minutes he had been glowering at Qie Ranzhe scratching his head in confusion. His tiny brain almost overheated thinking about it which is why he turned to Airen. She was an adult and adults understand adult things, right?


    However, Airen seemed lost staring at Machu with a hard to exin gaze. Feng Xieling had to shake Airen three times for her to snap out off it. Even then she was still acting weird. ''Are all the adults going crazy or something?'' he thought wishing he could walk over and swat away Qie Ranzhe''s stray hand that was possessively grasping his dad''s waist.


    He had just about had enough of it and stood up to separate them but it was at that moment that the three adults finished their discussion and walked over to their table. Feng Xieling was absent minded the entire time watching Qie Ranzhe''s every move like a hawk.


    Even the hand that was draped around Feng Zi''s shoulders became an eyesore. He even lost his appetite finding his breakfast tasteless. Wen Qinxi noticed Feng Xieling''s odd behavior so he asked, "You don''t like the food? Do you want me to get you some fudge?"


    Before Feng Xieling could even answer the question, the hand that was once on Feng Zi''s shoulder shifted under the table onto Feng Zi''s thigh. Qie Ranzhe squeezed Feng Zi''s thigh staring at him with amorous eyes and said, "You want to go together? I saw a cake shop yesterday."

 Chapter 247: Third World: Stop Biting My Dads Lips

    Chapter 247: Third World: Stop Biting My Dad''s Lips


    Wen Qinxi was still upset but under Qie Ranzhe''s constant persuasion, his stone walls crumbled under pressure. No matter how many times he tried to push Qie Ranzhe away, it was pointless. He was clinging to him like wax on paper. The tiger cub was now baring its teeth revealing it''s true nature. He felt like pping himself regretting ever teasing Qie Ranzhe in the first ce.


    "No...you should go buy it for him. Why else would you think I would ask Lin Lin? It''s because you should go get it for him," said Wen Qinxi removing Qie Ranzhe''s hand off his thigh for the second time.


    "Mn," said Qie Ranzhe before leaning in to say, "only then can I get a rewardter," in a modted voice pleasant to the ear.


    Wen Qinxi bit his partially swollen bottom lip with their gazes locked together. He was thinking of ways to torment Qie Ranzhe tonight and punish him forst night but Feng Xieling popped their pink bubble taking everyone by surprise.


    "I don''t want fudge, I just want you to stop touching my dad and stop biting his lips. They look like grapefruits now," said Feng Xieling with tear filled eyes. After dropping such a bomb, Feng Xieling ran out of the restaurant in a haste.


    Wen Qinxi was about to run after him but Qie Ranzhe stopped him and opted to go. Besides this little bun was his son by blood, it was time he stepped up and make up for the years they had lost. He was going to have a rtionship with Feng Zi and he had to let his son know that his dads loved each other and they were now a family.


    Feng Xieling didn''t go far before he was caught by Qie Ranzhe. A strong arm wrapped around the little dumpling lifting him up from the ground. The kid was flinging his legs trying to free himself but it was to no avail. Feng Xieling was as stubborn as himself, definitely an inherited trait.


    He allowed Feng Xieling to vent his frustrations till he was out of energy. The fighting ceased reced by tears. Feng Xieling had his head buried in Qie Ranzhe''s neck crying his eyes out. One might think he was throwing a temper tantrum but Feng Xieling''s tears had a deeper meaning. He wanted to protect the only person who ever cared about him but found that he couldn''t. He really hated the fact that he was small and wished he could grow up fast so he could protect his dad.


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t say anything rubbing Feng Xieling''s back tofort him but his actions only seemed to make things worse with the kid wailing even louder. It''s to be said that the general had zero experience dealing with children. Even the passerby sympathised with him with some teenage girls vowing to never hold a boy''s hand lest they fall pregnant.


    While Qie Ranzhe was feeling helplessforting Feng Xieling in the street. Wen Qinxi, Airen and Machu were spying on them ready to provide some backup. Wen Qinxi felt like taking Feng Xieling out of Qie Ranzhe''s hands but restrained himself. These two had been butting heads ever since they met which wasn''t good. They were father and son after all and this experience was necessary.


    "You think he''s going to give up? Look at him, he looks like a wilted prune. He doesn''t even know what to do?" said Airen tsking internally. She had no idea who the general impregnated and couldn''t help but sympathise with them. This man was hard to deal with and his son was as stubborn as his biological father.


    "I wonder which stupid woman took a fancy to such a stiff man and carried his child," said the clueless Airen earning her weird looks from both Machu and Feng Zi.


    Machu actually wanted to say, "your boss of course," but he realised these two were clueless. Wen Qinxi was still in the dark as well but the reason why he was staring at Airen was because he himself fell for Qie Ranzhe in two worlds. If Airen knew she wouldbel her boss as a helpless case.


    Beingbeled stupid, Wen Qinxi pinched Airen''s arm and didn''t hold back either causing the former assassin to yelp loudly. Hearing the gorgeous woman''s cry, Machu panicked and reached out to rub Airen''s arm. Who knew his arm would get pped in the next second which was a direct rejection. Wen Qinxi noticed all of this and felt like he had just been fed dog food for no reason.


    "Can you not flirt in public," said Wen Qinxi forgetting that just a few minutes ago he was handing out dog food like a volunteer working for the world food programme.


    Airen, "....."


    Machu, "..."


    The two people who had been scolded for no reason almost vomited blood. They didn''t have enough time to express their grievances because Feng Zi followed the father and son pair heading towards the cake shop.


    On the other hand, Feng Xieling had exhausted himself from all the crying so Qie Ranzhe took him to the cake shop and have a heart to heart conversation with his son. Qie Ranzhe ordered some fudge and wiped the tears off Feng Xieling''s face with the napkins on the table. Feng Xieling felt so embarrassed sniffling with his reddened eyes.


    "Don''t cry anymore," said Qie Ranzhe feeling pained watching his child cry like this. They weren''t close and he probably wouldn''t be as close to Feng Xieling as Feng Zi but he would do his best to protect the both of them.


    Feng Xieling didn''t know why this man came instead of his dad so he asked, "Why is it you?....I want dad," hiding his face in Qie Ranzhe''s neck. He didn''t know why but he hated this man seeing his weakness and now he had just cried his lungs out in front of him.


    Qie Ranzhe took out his phone and said, "Let me show you something." By show you something, he meant opening his front camera on his phone with the two people showing up on the screen. "Look closely," said Qie Ranzhe drawing Feng Xieling who was sitting on hisp closer so the little boy would see his face clearly on the screen.


    After confusedly staring for a long time Feng Xieling finally saw it. They looked so much alike but how was that possible? Seeing the nk expression change to the look of shock on the kid''s face, he said, "You see it now?"


    Feng Xieling lifted his head and curiously gazed at this face that was interestingly simr to his. What did this mean?


    "That''s because I am your father," said Qie Ranzhe fixing Feng Xieling''s hair.


    Feng Xieling, "....."

 Chapter 248: Third world: Hold Hands Then Get Married

    Chapter 248: Third world: Hold Hands Then Get Married


    Wen Qinxi was on pins and needles unable to see the pair of father and son. Judging with Qie Ranzhe''s personality, he didn''t think the man would fare well with kids thus he followed behind. Unexpectedly, when he reached the cake shop, he was met by a harmonious scene. Feng Xieling was sitting on Qie Ranzhe''sp with his tiny head nestling on his father''s shoulder. Qie Ranzhe would asionally feed Feng Xieling some fudge while answering his questions.


    Wen Qinxi was all smiles and couldn''t resist capturing this beautiful moment. His body stered on the cake shop''s window disy like a stalker, he took out his phone and took a snapshot of the two. He would have gone unnoticed if it weren''t for the sh function on his camera which he forgot to turn off. This drew the attention of his models who were taken aback.


    Seeing his dad, Feng Xieling abandoned his father and ran outside the cake shop jumping into Feng Zi''s arms. His beaming smile warmed Wen Qinxi''s heart thinking how awesome it would be to have a Qie Xieling in the real world. But who was he kidding, if he weren''t Qie Ranzhe''s creation he was most likely an NPC. Whenever his mind wandered in that direction he would be filled with an overwhelming sense of sadness.


    Seeing this wasn''t the time to think about such things, Wen Qinxi ignored this feeling and carried the little dumpling into the cake shop.


    Feeling proud of this baby daddy, Wen Qinxi sat opposite Qie Ranzhe with a charming smile meant for the general. Qie Ranzhe could tell what was on Wen Qinxi''s mind and intended on cashing in on that reward very soon.


    Wen Qinxi who didn''t know his smile had been mistaken for a coupon asked, "What were you two talking about?" helping himself to some fudge.


    Feng Xieling seemed to be in high spirits. It seemed the crying had helped him let go of all his previous grievances. Using a dessert fork he broke a piece of rocky road fudge, copied Qie Ranzhe''s actions when he was feeding him earlier to feed Feng Zi. "Father said it''s our little secret," confessed Feng Xieling while feeding Feng Zi.


    Wen Qinxi gave Qie Ranzhe an inquisitive look but Qie Ranzhe smiled innocently. While his parents were exchanging nces, Feng Xieling carried on. "So when are you two getting married? I want to wear a tuxedo and hold the rings," asked the ever so innocent Feng Xieling. This line of questioning blindsided Wen Qinxi to the point of almost choking on some sticky fudge.


    Qie Ranzhe passed over a ss of iced tea he had ordered earlier to wash away the sweetness. Wen Qinxi thanked him and epted it but for the second time, he almost choked again when he heard Qie Ranzhe saying, "How can we get married when I haven''t even held your dad''s hand?"


    Wen Qinxi almost cursed aloud thinking, ''I fuckin held your third leg already. Shouldn''t that suffice?"


    Feng Xieling thought himself a matchmaker so he took Feng Zi''s hand and joined it with Qie Ranzhe''s hand. A proud smile showed up on his face thinking, ''Mission aplished,'' before happily digging into a te of fudge. Besides getting his dads to hold hands, he had another ulterior motive that is to eat as much fudge as possible while they were distracted.


    Qie Ranzhe dly held Feng Zi''s hand having received his son''s consent. Qie Ranzhe was staring at his man with a dreamy smile his eyes brimming with tender feelings. Wen Qinxi''s face coloured up, biting his lower lip with a hint of timidity. The feeling of intertwining their fingers together invoked a feel-good buzz that he didn''t want to let go of. That is until he caught the gluttonous pig through his peripheral view.


    Wen Qinxi wanted to part their hands and properly reprimand Feng Xieling but Qie Ranzhe didn''t allow it. With his free hand, Qie Ranzhe took the te away with a smile that reached his eyes. Seeing Feng Xieling''s mouth stained with Nute frosting, Qie Ranzhe finally figured the kid''s n. He had tomend him for fooling the both of them.


    "Oh, how sneaky of you. That''s it, no more fudge for you," said Wen Qinxi handing the guilty party a paper napkin, "Wipe your mouth. You look like a little piggy."


    Feng Xieling didn''t seem the least bit affected by his dad''s scolding. He found it funny saying, "If I am a little piggy then you must be daddy pig," with a childish giggle.


    Having been beaten in a war of words by a kid, Wen Qinxi felt hopeless. He was about to give Feng Xieling an earful when Qie Ranzhe caressed his hand with his thumb in a soothing motion. The two locked gazes once more having a silent conversation unique to couples. Feng Xieling who was sitting beside them had no idea that he had just been sentenced. The punishment? No sleepovers for a week.


    In all truthfulness, saying it was punishment was just a cover. Even if Feng Xieling didn''tmit a crime he was still going to be barred from sleeping over for a while. The two didn''t dare inform the tiny convict in advance lest he starts crying in public again.


    While the family of three were enjoying themselves, Machu and Airen suddenly walked into the cake shop with exciting news. They had strolled in with much vigour but after seeing the intertwined fingers, their expressions changed feeling rather ufortable. The ufortable feeling didn''tst long though. That''s because Zhao Huangzhi and Qie Guaiwu made a sudden appearance walking into such a peculiar scene.


    Zhao Huangzhi was thunderstruck seeing the two men holding hands. She had dated Qie Ranzhe but never had the honour of holding hands or any other kind of affection from Qie Ranzhe yet the general was brazenly holding Feng Zi''s hand in public for that matter. On the other hand, Qie Guaiwu looked like she had been electrocuted by a thousand volts of electricity rooting her on the spot. If it weren''t for her strong physical health she would have died of shock a long time ago. She was already wrecking her brain trying to figure out how on earth a man fell pregnant and now she was force-fed dog food in broad daylight. Unable to bear it anymore, she strode forward intending to scold them but Machu read her mind and stepped forward blocking Qie Guaiwu''s view of the joined hands.


    "General Qie we found the whereabouts of the woman Feng Yu protected. How should we proceed?" said Machu with a mobile expression.


    All thanks to this brave soldier, the smell of gunpowder dissipated diffusing the tense atmosphere. Wen Qinxi picked up Feng Xieling and left the cake shop followed by Qie Ranzhe who was walking behind them as though shielding them from an unexpected attack. The two women followed behind but it was easy to tell they were repressing ugly feelings. Zhao Huangzhi followed behind them within an inch of blowing up. If it weren''t for Qie Guaiwu holding her back she would have erupted like an active volcano by now.

 Chapter 249: Third World: Demoted To A Smart Toilet

    Chapter 249: Third World: Demoted To A Smart Toilet


    Airenmended Machu for his bravery before turning on her heels to catch up with Feng Zi but Machu blocked her path and said, "How about you buy me some fudge as a reward for my bravery," after summoning up tons and tons of courage.


    To be more precise, Machu was the bravest man on earth right now. Despite knowing Airen''s past he still dared to approach her. No one else on the entire dared to pursue her especially when she''s holding a gun.


    If it weren''t for Airen''s good feelings towards Machu, he would have been long shot by now. "Piss off," said Airen shoving him aside before exiting the cake shop.


    Machu followed her out and decided to act shamelessly. "Miss Airen, you have no choice but to take responsibility for me," he said walking beside her with a sly smile.


    Airen who looked like she had just heard the funniest joke of the year asked, "Why is that?" with a slight frown on her face.


    Machu rubbed his chest where Airen had touched him and said, "You touched me so you have to take responsibility," with an aggrieved expression.


    Airen, "...."


    ***


    Zhao Huangzhi felt her world copse watching the three of them walk into a room together. She almost pulled her hair out in resentment. This script was all wrong. These men should have been running around trying to get her attention but it turns out they had ditched her to be together. The only way she would let that happen would be over her dead body.


    Putting up a pitiable front, she strolled over to Qie Guaiwu''s room to express her grievances. What she didn''t know was that Qie Guaiwu was almost losing her mind and she could only report to her brother to keep herself from going insane. When Zhao Huangzhi knocked on the door, Qie Guaiwu''s assistant let her in saying, "The general is in the bedroom making a phone call. You can wait for her here."


    With this, the assistant slipped away for a smoke hoping to calm his nerves. These past few days, General Qie Guaiwu had be even more unbearable venting her anger at him. He was an innocent party in all this but because he was close to Qie Guaiwu, he took all the hits.


    While the assistant was taking a well deserved smoke break, Zhao Huangzhi obediently sat down adjusting her expression to make her seem even more pitiful. One could say she would make a much better actress rather than a soldier. She was truly gifted with the ability to precisely fall into character with no hint of deception. While the queen of Oscars was pinching her thigh to make her eyes appear watery, she overheard Qie Guaiwu yelling on the phone.


    Curious, Zhao Huangzhi tiptoed over to the door and began to eavesdrop through the gap. It seemed Qie Guaiwu was losing her mind yelling like a crazed maniac.


    Qie Guaiwu who didn''t know she was being spied on carried on yelling, "...disrespectful, unfilial towards me. He is cosying up with a man not only that but that kid is Feng Zi''s!....Don''t you fuckin dare call me crazy.....I know, I know but I am telling the truth...I did ten re-runs so I am not mistaken...check your email, let''s see if you dare call me crazy after this."


    It seemed President Qie was disbelieving of this situation. He even dared call his sister crazy resulting in an earful of scoldings. This entire conversation fell into Zhao Huangzhi''s ear who was even more disbelieving than President Qie. If the DNA test was legit then she could only believe that Feng Zi was a woman disguised as a man. That''s the only thing that made sense.


    She vowed to peek on him and see for herself ignoring how perverse that idea sounded. She also didn''t see the need to intervene and split the two men because she knew President Qie and Qie Guaiwu would take care of that. There was no way these two were going to let Feng Zi walk out of this alive. All she had to do was act aggrieved and soon she would enjoy the good harvest.


    ***


    As expected the woman associated with Feng Yu was in no way simple. It seemed Feng Yu held her in the highest regard as she had hordes of men protecting her. Wen Qinxi and Qie Ranzhe were on the rooftop watching the restaurant she was dining in. Even then Wen Qinxi still didn''t know the rtionship between Feng Yu and the woman because the system was still on strike. He had threatened it with the vacuum bot threat but the system said that even if he threatened to demote it into a smart toilet, it wouldn''te out. That''s how much spooked Jolie was. It wouldn''t mind being a smart toilet AI.


    With no useful information, Wen Qinxi could only go in blind. "So your father never mentioned her?" asked Qie Ranzhe standing behind Feng Zi with his hands grasping Feng Zi''s waist from either side. Because of their proximity, Qie Ranzhe could feel the warmth from Feng Zi''s body transfer to his. He would be lying if he said he didn''t have the urge to bend Feng Zi''s waist and thrust into him till he was begging for mercy. He was curious to know if Feng Zi would get pregnant this way. This experiment would not only solve the mystery but also give him a second dumpling. This way Feng Zi would have two reasons not to leave him and stay by his side. He didn''t know what he would do if Feng Zi went back on his word and go back to liking Zhao Huangzhi. To be honest, he knew what he would do but didn''t dare say it. He would most definitely make Zhao Huangzhi disappear without a trace. He didn''t even seem to care how Mr Zhao would retaliate as long as Feng Zi didn''t look at anyone else apart from him.


    Wen Qinxi naturally didn''t know the man behind him was ckening like the bottom of a y pot. He just felt Qie Ranzhe''s grip on his waist tightening which he didn''t hate. "He never said. Besides, we haven''t spoken for years," replied Wen Qinxi looking through the binocrs. There was something familiar about her but he couldn''t for the life of him ce this face.


    "Let''s go rain on her parade," said Wen Qinxi before pulling Qie Ranzhe''s hand leading him towards the restaurant. This face he hadn''t seen in the game but rather in the real world. Who could she be?

 Chapter 250: Third World: Wen Qinxis First Love

    Chapter 250: Third World: Wen Qinxi''s First Love


    Among the many kinds of love, there is one that is especially unique that almost everyone experiences. This kind is known as puppy love. A childish or youthful infatuation with another person especially during adolescence. But what would happen if you meet your first love in the presence of your partner who is also your boss? Well, only Wen Qinxi could answer that question.


    Wen Qinxi had dragged Qie Ranzhe into the restaurant with a few soldiers following behind. Knowing Feng Yu''s character too well, he would most likely try to harm Qie Ranzhe so he had to bring soldiers along for the General''s safety. Seeing so many men walk into the restaurant holding guns, the manager panicked and had his guests leave. Soon the entire restaurant was devoid of customers with Feng Yu''s man and the soldiers having a standoff. The atmosphere was incredibly tense but neither side would act withoutmand.


    Without waiting for permission, Wen Qinxi pushed open the door of the private room and entered. Inside the sophisticated room decorated with red drapes was a gorgeous woman, the kind of woman that would have men prostrating at her feet with just a single smile.


    Maybe it was her wless smooth skin, enchantingly dark eyes or her red lips that gave her a seductive air that could drive both men and women crazy.


    The more Wen Qinxi stared, the greater the feeling of familiarity but he still couldn''t figure it out. Wen Qinxi let go of Qie Ranzhe''s hand that he had been holding this entire time intending to take a closer look but Qie Ranzhe turned into a green-eyed monster.


    He took Wen Qinxi''s arm as a deadly aura filled the room creating an atmosphere so thick you could cut the tension with a knife.


    The woman didn''t seem the least bit fazed by the tense atmosphere. It was almost as if she hadn''t noticed as she put down her champagne ss and smiled saying, "Zi-ge," that is before she stood up and tried to embrace him.


    She would have seeded if it weren''t for the iceberg that sunk the titanic pulling Feng Zi away. The woman was so embarrassed having hugged air and said, "I am sorry, I got carried away. Uncle Yu told me stories about you. I am so d we finally get to meet."


    The girl said a mouthful of words but to Wen Qinxi the words went in one ear and out the other. With the girl''s face much closer to himself he finally ced the face. ''Oh shit!'' he swore internally subconsciously taking a step back bumping into the gas tank of vinegar right behind him.


    Everyone in the real world that Wen Qinxi met in the game were associated with the Male god standing right beside him. People like Machu and Zhao Huangzhi. But never in this entire ordeal did he expect to see someone directly associated with himself. Though it was in the past, she was still a memorable person to him as it was his first love in high school that is in the real world. Her name, Nu Shen or Shen Shen, a name on everyone''s lips.


    He had a secret crush on her throughout high school but never acted on it once. That is if he weren''t counting the love letter he put inside her desk but didn''t dare sign his name. He just wanted to express his feelings but didn''t expect anything toe of it. He even ckmailed Wen Danzhe to copy the letter in his handwriting in fear that his weird handwriting would be recognized.


    As expected there was no reaction from Shen Shen, neither inquisition nor interest. She remained so natural as though nothing happened. What he didn''t know was that the day he put the letter on her desk, Machu saw it. Being a good friend he told Qie Ranzhe that gecko had found himself a girlfriend. The following consequences were easy to guess. That letter never saw the light of day as it was intercepted before the recipient saw it.


    Nu Shen''s presence in these circumstances seemed to mean that Qie Ranzhe''s consciousness somewhat associated Feng Zi with Wen Qinxi but only a psychologist could give a definite answer. Whatever the reason, she was here. Wen Qinxi was thunderstruck with sweaty palms. His first love was a secret and he hid it so well so why was Nu Shen here? Did Qie Ranzhe also like Shen Shen in the real world?


    Wen Qinxi''s mind went nk with his body frozen stiff that Qie Ranzhe had to help him sit down making sure he was sitting as far away from this girl as possible. He had just started dating Feng Zi so how could he let him be robbed by others? But no matter how hard he tried to block this woman''s sight she was relentless and kept staring at Feng Zi. Since mature subtle movement wouldn''t dissuade her, he resorted to childish possessive methods. Dogs pee on trees and leopards rub their faces and neck on vegetation to mark their territories but Qie Ranzhe could do neither of those. He instead draped his arm around Feng Zi and drew him closer before whispering lightly into his ear, "Do you like her that much?"


    A touch of Qie Ranzhe''s warm breath brushing against his skin finally brought Wen Qinxi back to himself. The two locked gazes invoking an intimate feeling that deepened the connection between them. Qie Ranzhe''s chaotic mind was put to ease making him subconsciously retract his ws.


    This obvious intimate action didn''t seem to deter Nu Shen as she didn''t possess a Fujoshi like world view. Even with the evidence right in front of her it never crossed her mind that these two could be together. She instead assumed these two were the best of friends. She had heard that they were friends turned enemies but it seemed they had reconciled. She couldn''t understand what Feng Yu was worried about.


    "I know why you are here, Zi-ge. Uncle Feng said you woulde looking for me," she said in a flirtatious voice while ogling at him.


    Wen Qinxi who just appeased the vicious tiger into retracting its ws with great difficulty felt like he had wasted all his efforts. Forget it, if the tiger wants to bite let it bite. There were more important matters to attend to. "Why do you keep referring to him as uncle? It seems like he is more important to you than I am," said Wen Qinxi while ying with Qie Ranzhe''s fingers under the table. He had to admit, It kinda felt good holding hands with Qie Ranzhe. It made him feel wanted, creating an incredible sense of dependence on this person. It was like a silent conveyance that Qie Ranzhe had his back.

 Chapter 251: Third World: The Wrong Love Rival

    Chapter 251: Third World: The Wrong Love Rival


    The reason why Nu Shen kept referring to Feng Yu as the uncle was because both their parents were actively involved in the project that restored the earth''s atmosphere. At that time Feng Zi''s mother and Nu Shen''s mother were also working on the project when they fell pregnant. The couples deemed this fate and promised to marry their kids together regardless of gender. As luck would have it the two were a boy and girl. This story was meant to have, a happy ending but things took a terrible turn when Nu Shen''s parents and Feng Zi''s mother caught a strange illness and died one after the other. Feng Yu also fell sick but he somehow survived. After running some tests he found out that extensive exposure to that crystal caused the illness that ultimately led to the death of his wife and colleagues. When he reported this to President Qie, he was fired.


    The earth was given a second chance and he was a widow left with two kids. An eye for an eye was his main principle and so he sent his son to the same school as President Qie''s son. He specifically manipted his son into befriending Qie Ranzhe and waited for the right moment to snatch that crystal. He wanted the entire world to feel his pain though a few unexpected events urred that resulted in him avoiding his son like the gue.


    Feng Yu still wanted to own up to the promise between his wife and their colleagues thus his willingness to make Nu Shen meet with Feng Zi but of course, his n was bound to fail.


    Nu Shen enthusiastically exined their rtionship while intentionally leaving out the part about being betrothed to each other. All Feng Yu ever spoke about was how great his son was and how they would make a great couple which is why she was thrilled to see him bing blind to everything else.


    "Oh, so our parents were friends. That''s..... um, that''s great. So are you going to tell me where he is?" replied Wen Qinxi in a soft-spoken voice as though trying to coax a turtle out of its shell. The turtle dide out of its shell but the tiger sitting beside him wasn''t pleased at all. He was about tosh out when the door was suddenly pushed open.


    A pair of uninvited guests decided to invite themselves and listen in on the conversation. These two honoured guests could only be Qie Guaiwu and her evil henchwoman, Zhao Huangzhi. Her brother had insisted she remained rooted in this investigation and report back everything to him. Even though Feng Zi had ckmailed her into keeping Qie Ranzhe in charge she was still his superior and could choose to be active in the case.


    Though Qie Guaiwu''s presence was justified, it didn''t mean Qie Ranzhe would easily ept it. He didn''t even bother concealing his dissatisfaction asking, "What are you doing here?" with a look that made one feel he was going to peel her skin off at any moment. All his life he had suffered under Qie Guaiwu''s tyrannical methods but once he came of age and ranked up in the army, the two barely crossed paths. To be more exact, this was the longest time they hung in the same territory and it wasn''t going well. As the saying goes, you can''t put two cockerels together in the same run.


    Qie Guaiwu didn''t get angry in the slightest responding in a calm and wellposed manner. "General Qie, I am still your superior and I am required to oversee this mission," she said sitting opposite the pair of lovers.


    Nu Shen knew who these people were but didn''t seem to care that is until she recognized Zhao Huangzhi. Her once pleasant mood turned venomous with the pupils of her eyes transforming into vertical slit pupils. She knew Feng Zi had a lot of girlfriends before and they were like chaff before the wind. But Zhao Huangzhi, Zhao Huangzhi was different. She was like a stubborn cockroach refusing to die. It already reached her ears that Feng Zi was chasing after her like a lovesick puppy. Little did she know her love rival wasn''t wearing a skirt but a pair of trousers and he was currently glued to Feng Zi right now ying with each other''s fingers under the table.


    Green with envy, Nu Shen stabbed the knife on the table with a loud thud that drew everyone''s attention. Her line of sight was fixed on Zhao Huangzhi emitting a murderous aura chilling to the bone. Since this resentment was directly aimed at her, Zhao Huangzhi frowned with the hairs all over her body standing on end. She couldn''t understand when she offended this stranger.


    "Since everyone is here, how about we eat first then discuss business. Dinner is on me," said Nu Shen with a pair of fangs expanding in her mouth. Her transformation animal was that of a python and she would surely strike if she weren''t outnumbered.


    Wen Qinxi didn''t oppose especially because Nu Shen was holding all the cards. Unless if Feng Yu decided to appear at his discretion they were stuck with Nu Shen, a decision he will soone to regret.


    The terrified manager quickly delivered arge feast to the private room and vanished at light speed. The smell of gunpowder was too much for this old fellow. He liked money but treasured his life more.


    With the food delivered, Nu Shen began to exhibit symptoms specific to an overdose in vinegar consumption starting a war with the wrong person. "Here Zi-ge, I seem to remember you like drunken prawns n. I ordered these for you...eat up just in case someone eats them all. I especially distaste people who rob others of their things," she said handing the bowl over to him, "if someone robs me of my favourite thing I won''t hesitate to bite off their head." Thest part was said ring at Zhao Huangzhi who had no interest in any kind of seafood. Why would she steal drunken prawn from Feng Zi? Well, true, she wanted to steal Qie Ranzhe from Feng Zi but it wouldn''t be considered stealing when he belonged to her first.


    Wen Qinxi couldn''tprehend what was going on. He didn''t mind eating prawns but he wouldn''t mind if others wanted some. Qie Ranzhe on the other hand was brewing a ssic category five storm within. ''No one and I repeat no one is allowed to feed Feng Zi apart from me and maybe Feng Xieling,'' thought Qie Ranzhe declining the bowl on his behalf.


    "He doesn''t like prawns," lied the general through his teeth. What made it worse was after Wen Qinxi saw how glossy and appealing they were, he now wanted some but his boyfriend had to go on and refuse. He was stuck on the fence. Speak up and start a shit storm or fight off his cravings.


    Which one would he choose, juicy drunken prawns or handsome Male god?


    ''Fuck! Why can''t I have both?''

 Chapter 252: Third World: Catfight!

    Chapter 252: Third World: Catfight!


    Jealousy can be either a sign of love, possessiveness or insecurity but wherever it stems from doesn''t matter as long things don''t get physical. But in this case, Wen Qinxi would rather it turned physical instead. That''s because Nu Shen spat out venomous words that made dinner tasteless. At this moment, he would rather go out and buy some street food than have five-star food with a hundred per cent tension.


    His reason for thinking this way was justified. This is because ten minutes ago he was caught in between his boyfriend and delicious mouthwatering drunken prawns. Since he wanted to eat them, he went about it in a roundabout manner stating that he might not like them but Qie Ranzhe likes them. This was somewhat true, let''s just say Qie Ranzhe was a fan of all things seafood as long as it wasn''t spicy. Using this excuse he sessfully grasped the te full of drunken prawns without upsetting the man sitting right beside him.


    Wen Qinxi overestimated himself. As it turned out Qie Ranzhe easily deduced what this man was thinking and didn''t hesitate to expose him then and there. The arm that was once on Feng Zi''s shoulder slowly slid down to his waist. Qie Ranzhe leaned in closer with his other hand extending in front of Feng Zi to grab the bottle of soya sauce. Their faces were almost stered together to such a point that Wen Qinxi could feel the heat from Qie Ranzhe''s face creating an ambiguous air to it. Qie Ranzhe said, "I know," before pinching Wen Qinxi''s waist. Being pinched in a sensitive spot, Wen Qinxi almost yelped out which would draw everyone''s attention. Turns out he didn''t even need to yelp as he had already earned himself a disdainful look from Zhao Huangzhi and a look of admiration from Nu Shen.


    "Wow, you and the general seem to get along so well. I hope I can get along with Zi-ge like that in the near future," said Nu Shen smiling so timidly. If they could be as harmonious as this in their marriage then she did prostate to the gods giving thanks.


    Wen Qinxi was too busy trying to convince Qie Ranzhe that these prawns were for him that he didn''t hear what Nu Shen was sprouting. He carefully peeled the shells and ced them in Qie Ranzhe''s bowl. For every three prawns he peeled, he ate two and gave one to Qie Ranzhe. This entire process was done sneakily that he didn''t think Qie Ranzhe wouldn''t notice but who was he kidding. Qie Ranzhe knew exactly what Wen Qinxi was doing, he just decided to dy the punishment till they were aler.


    Things in the private room were harmonious up until this moment because after this Nu Shen decided to start a verbal war with Zhao Huangzhi who was staring at Feng Zi like she was going to skin him alive. This stare was mistaken by Nu Shen as a lover''s spat type of look and saw she went on the offensive. "Women these days are so straight forward. How can they openly stare at someone that doesn''t belong to them? Be careful of having your eyes gouged out if you keep staring," she said with her gaze focused on her te.


    As they say, nothing good wille out of crazy meeting crazy. The atmosphere turned bitter as Zhao Huangzhi thought Nu Shen was defending Feng Zi''s rtionship with Qie Ranzhe so she retorted, "Not when that someone belongs to that woman first."


    As you can see, Nu Shen thought she was saying Feng Zi belonged to Zhao Huangzhi first so she practically exploded. "Hmph dream on, he never belonged to you in the first ce. You better shut your mouth before I silence you," replied a flushed face Nu Shen. If she didn''t strangle the life out of that woman today then she would surely cut her tongue out.


    "Little girl, know your ce. Do you know who the fuck you are talking to? I am Zhao Huangzhi of the Zhao family. You better shut your trap if you treasure your life," replied Zhao Huangzhi using her family name to intimidate Nu Shen.


    But how could such a trick work on Nu Shen? Whether it was the f word or the little girlment, one of them set off Nu Shen that she transformed with no warning and lunged at Zhao Huangzhi. Thus the beginning of a proper catfight. Wen Qinxi had finally got his wish and watched for a while with great interest. He surely hoped Nu Shen would beat some sense into Zhao Huangzhi. Neither of the two stepped in to stop the fight, it was Qie Guaiwu who tried to pry them apart. While she was trying to pull them apart, she was identally scratched by Zhao Huangzhi and in her anger, joined the fight. Even the guards who had rushed in when they heard the screams didn''t dare intervene especially when Miss Nu was fighting. They can only intervene if she was at a disadvantage but from this angle, it didn''t seem like she was losing.


    The soldiers would have stepped in but without Qie Ranzhe''s order, they couldn''t intervene. "Let them fight it out to their heart''s content," he said when he saw Feng Zi stand up.


    Wen Qinxi hurriedly shook his head and silently mouthed, "phone," while pointing at Nu Shen''s cellphone that had been deserted. Since Feng Yu dared rescue Nu Shen, they must have some kind of method ofmunication.


    Qie Ranzhe watched with interest as Feng Zi''s pink lips moved silently. His memory went back tost night''s escapades recalling the sweet taste of Feng Zi''s lips. This was a mistake on Qie Ranzhe''s part as he underestimated the hold Feng Zi had over him. Just staring at his lips caused his blood to boil in excitement turning him on. ''Crap,'' he thought before taking a sip of tea that he had ignored this entire time. He couldn''t understand why he felt so thirsty.


    Wen Qinxi didn''t think much casually walking over before swiping the phone and cing it into his coat pocket. With the crimemitted, Wen Qinxi gestured with his hand beckoning Qie Ranzhe to follow him.


    Enchanted to the point of following him around like a puppy, Qie Ranzhe followed behind Feng Zi obediently. To be honest, he didn''t care about finding Feng Yu right now. All he was thinking about was kissing Feng Zi breathless. Not only kiss him but press him down. This involuntary thought process had Qie Ranzhe questioning himself. When did he suddenly turn into a pervert with his brain filled with images of himself pressing down Feng Zi?

    Chapter 253: Third World: Terrible Dads


    Wen Qinxi was so thrilled having stolen for the first time. It wouldn''t count as a robbery but Qie Ranzhe didn''t want to mess up Feng Zi''s mood. Besides, he needed him in a pleasant mood forter. Qie Ranzhe suddenly spotted a 24hr drug store along the street and said, "Wait for me here. I need to get something." Qie Ranzhe didn''t even wait for Feng Zi to respond darting into the drug store.


    Wen Qinxi didn''t spare him a nce fiddling with Nu Shen''s phone. While walking he was hacking her phone which was a piece of cake for this nerd. As expected, Feng Yu had encrypted her phone but Wen Qinxi could easily break in and out without leaving a trace.


    Qie Ranzhe entered and exited the store but Feng Zi''s gaze remained fixated on the phone. He sighed deeply wondering if that phone was more interesting than himself."What''s so interesting in there that you can''t even notice me?" asked Qie Ranzhe feeling both neglected and jealous. Even though he knew Feng Zi was only looking for useful information,he still felt like offering him his phone instead. At least he would feel a little bit better. If he was going to be ignored because of a phone then at least let it be his phone, not someone else''s. He felt the urge to grab that phone and smash it to the ground but he knew that would only anger Feng Zi. Like a whipped boyfriend, Qie Ranzhe guided Feng Zi''s path like leading a patient who had just had eye surgery. All this, even though he was upset.


    ***


    While the two sweethearts were heading to the hotel to have a beautiful night, three women had fought till they ran out of energy. Bites, scratches and bruises concealed the once beautiful faces with Zhao Huangzhi suffering the worst of it. This fight was born out of a misunderstanding and the main subject of that misunderstanding was busy being fed by Qie Ranzhe because he hadn''t eaten much during dinner due to a fight breaking out.


    Common sense finally made a reappearance in Zhao Huangzhi''s brain after having her hair pulled out. She couldn''t shake the feeling that she had been misunderstood so she asked, "Are you that interested in Qie Ranzhe?" before drawing in a breath of cold air hissing in pain.


    Nu Shen was towering above Zhao Huangzhi with her chest heaving deeply but once she heard that question her once dark expression turned to a puzzled one. "What?.... No, I am betrothed to Zi-ge. Why would l fight for that stiff man when I have a cute and considerate Zi-ge to spend the rest of my life with," replied Nu Shen her aggression melting away.


    Qie Guaiwu and Zhao Huangzhi exchanged nces and felt like they had been handed over a golden finger after years of suffering. Zhao Huangzhi stood up, her smile somewhat stiff and said, "So...so you and Feng Zi are-,"


    Nu Shen seemed confused with their line of questioning and said, "Yeah, like l said we are going to get married."


    Qie Guaiwu couldn''t help but chime in asking, "Does he know?"


    After much thought, Nu Shen finally shook her head indicating that he probably didn''t know. Zhao Huangzhi and Qie Guaiwu stared at each other and in tacit understanding, they decided to enlighten this sister. Nu Shen was pulled to the side and led to sit down while the two women pretended to be her best friends fixing her hair. Like this, they manipted this young miss who didn''t see anything else in the world apart from Feng Zi to take back what belongs to her.


    ***


    "I got e see this, haha..... I got Feng Yu''s number," said a thrilled Wen Qinxi calling to his lover who was packing away the takeaway boxes. Qie Ranzhe tossed the boxes in the bin before crawling into bed to sleep next to Feng Zi. Wen Qinxi enthusiastically showed off the number he believed belonged to Feng Yu but seeing that Qie Ranzhe didn''t respond, he exined. "This number corresponds to around the time Feng Yu rescued Nu Shen from that pimp and the time we arrived here. Plus it seems like no other number can go through unless if it''s Nu Shen''s number."


    Qie Ranzhe understood what he was saying but couldn''t help but empathise with Feng Zi. Something appeared wrong with both their fathers. President Qie didn''t seem to care about him except when ites to his reputation. Feng Yu did care but didn''t care enough to call his son. He was familiar with the pain of being neglected and didn''t want Feng Zi to experience such heart-wrenching pain.


    He wanted to embrace Feng Zi out of instinct but it seemed Feng Zi wasn''t as bothered as he thought. The man in his arms casually dialled the number as though ordering pizza.


    Wen Qinxi put the phone on a loudspeaker and patiently waited for the call to connectmending this paranoid man. He caressed Qie Ranzhe''s hand that was resting on his tummy while Qie Ranzhe perversely sniffed his scent. Three rings in, the call was connected and a croaky voice sounded. "Shen Shen, my daughter-inw, how did the meeting go? Did you two get along."


    Wen Qinxi, "....."


    Qie Ranzhe, "....."


    Did Feng Yu have another son that he married off to Nu Shen? Wen Qinxi ced his index finger on Qie Ranzhe''s lips gesturing for him to keep silent. The slight touch of Feng Zi''s finger on his lip drove Qie Ranzhe insane but he could only wait till the call was over to take advantage of Feng Zi.


    "This is the first thing you say to me after all these years?... Is Nu Shen more important to you?" said Wen Qinxi his voice modted giving off an aggrieved feeling. This was all an act. Because of Feng Yu''s paranoid behaviour, he had to resort to such devious methods to smoke the queen bee out of its hive.


    As expected, Feng Yu was pained hearing his son say such words. If it weren''t for the circumstances he would have taken his son along but each time he looked at him he felt an overwhelming sense of guilt. "Ah-Zi, don''t, don''t say that... papa loves you and you are the most important person to me. Even more important than my own life.... don''t be angry with papa, okay," said Feng Yu swallowing his grief.


    He had seriously wronged Feng Zi and felt like crying each time he thought of it. He had a lot of things to feel guilty about when it came to his son. He couldn''t protect Feng Zi''s mother the only woman who dared to love him neither could he protect his son from the tragedy the night he stole the crystal. Because of this, he chose to run away supporting his son''s organization in the dark but it wasn''t enough. Nothing was good enough to make up for all the pain he caused. However, how was he supposed to look at his son again?


    "If I am that important to you, why aren''t you in my life," asked Wen Qinxi. This question was asked with such depth that even surprised Wen Qinxi. His real dad died when he was young and that question was buried deep within. Did his dad have to work there, would he have died if he didn''t work there? This situation was suddenly turning personal and Wen Qinxi had to bite his tongue to get his act together.

 Chapter 254: Third World: Licking Your Lovers Finger

    Chapter 254: Third World: Licking Your Lover''s Finger


    Though Feng Zi was a spitting image of Feng Yu, years of being apart had ruined whatever rtionship they had before. Feng Yu not only used his son but also abandoned him in the process in essence making Feng Zi an orphan. Wen Qinxi wasn''t pleased at all, feeling sorry for this character. Since he felt this way how could he let this man go? He pressed on, using emotional ckmail to smoke the rabbit out of its hole.


    Hardening his heart he said, "You left me with no exnation yet im that I am important to you? Do I look like an idiot?" Sure enough, Feng Yu panicked and stammered out an incoherent response trying to reason with him. Speaking of his son, his usual arrogant crazed demeanor seemed to crumble. He loved his son with all his heart but had no courage to face him after all that happened.


    "I have never asked you for anything so it is only natural that you grant my request," said Wen Qinxi while ying with Qie Ranzhe''s fingers, "let''s meet up." Feng Yu didn''t respond for a very long time as though thinking it through. His first instinct was to refuse but after so many years of putting it off, it was time to face up and move on. It was just that he had to gather some courage which was no small matter.


    "I..... I will agree but you have toe alone," replied Feng Yu in a timorous voice.


    Staring at the man lying next to him, how could he agree? Even if he did agree Qie Ranzhe wouldn''t let him go alone and would even follow behind regardless. Qie Ranzhe just smiled at Feng Zi and kissed his neck with an obvious implication. Wen Qinxi gulped with his body heating up at the touch of Qie Ranzhe''s soft lips.


    Wen Qinxi red at the man thinking, ''Such a tease,'' while moving his head away from this frivolous man.


    Qie Ranzhe stopped his teasing and gestured to Feng Zi to continue his call. He immediately became a bit docile giving off an impression of an acquiescent person. "Not possible, I will bring along four more people with me. Send your favourite child the coordinates and I will meet you in two..... two days time," said Wen Qinxi pausing at the end of the sentence as the man lying next to him had begun to cause trouble once more. Qie Ranzhe took the inattentive Feng Zi''s hand and at a snail''s pace, swallowed Feng Zi''s middle finger. How audacious he was, even licking Feng Zi''s finger a couple of times.


    Wen Qinxi didn''t even hear Feng Yu''s response tossing the phone aside before pouncing on Qie Ranzhe. Qie Ranzhe licking his finger was a direct provocation with a tingling sensation spreading from the point of contact to the rest of his body. ''What is this? A 90''s porn.... Eager for a fuck, I see,'' thought Wen Qinxisciviously biting his lower lip driving the man below to the brick of insanity.


    The two roughhoused on the bed with Wen Qinxi sitting on top of Qie Ranzhe trying to pin the General''s hands above his head. But because Qie Ranzhe had an advantage strength-wise he easily toppled Feng Zi over reversing their role. It was indeed a blush-inducing scene that could have any fujoshi screaming their lungs out.


    "Hello..... Ah-Zi!" called out Feng Yu through the phone that had been tossed aside. Qie Ranzhe found Feng Yu''s voice annoying so he directly cut the call and got back to what he was doing before. Pinning down his misbehaving lover.


    "Baby," said Qie Ranzhe in the most natural way that even surprised him. The way that pet name naturally rolled off his tongue had him thinking he had called Feng Zi like this before. His heart almost leapt off his chest in satisfaction having said this word out loud.


    Wen Qinxi seemed to like conquering Qie Ranzhe as it gave him a great sense of satisfaction. He was his happiest when he finally had this CEO wrapped around his pinky finger.


    Wen Qinxi grinned like a clown at a kid''s birthday party as blood rushed to his face while struggling to free his wrists from Qie Ranzhe''s hold. Because he was wiggling too much he involuntarily rubbed against Qie Ranzhe''s member through the fabric. Qie Ranzhe''s eyes darkened as he said, "Don''t move," in a husky voice that could enchant even mermaids.


    Wen Qinxi stopped moving and asked, "Or what?" Qie Ranzhe''s lips quirked up into a wolfish smile as he leaned down to kiss those lips he had been longing for this entire night. He could almost see himself suck and nip on those beautiful lips but unfortunately, someone didn''t want to see him happy.


    Just as their lips were about to touch, an abrupt knock dispersed the sensual atmosphere. Qie Ranzhe initially brushed it off and insisted on continuing. His member was already forming a tent in his pants so he persisted. But the person on the other side of the door wasn''t giving up. In fact, their knock became even more aggressive attracting the attention of other guests.


    "Fuck!" cursed Wen Qinxi as he pushed Qie Ranzhe off his body. It was evident that the person at the door wouldn''t give up unless that door was opened. He knew it wasn''t Feng Xieling because the kid''s knock was soft plus Airen would let him know in advance if Feng Xieling wasing over.


    Qie Ranzhe couldn''t help but wonder who on earth he had offended. He just wanted to eat his sweetheart yet someone kept interrupting. He was sprawled on the bed rubbing his forehead trying to calm his beating heart.


    Wen Qinxi checked the peephole and saw it was Nu Shen. He immediately walked over to the bed and lifted the quilt to grab her phone while saying, "Its Nu Shen," before walking over to the door. At the name Nu Shen, Qie Ranzhe''s once enthusiastic member instantly calmed down as he sat up straight.


    Wen Qinxi opened a small slit on the door with his hand extending to hand over the phone but Nu Shen wasn''t only here for that. She pushed the door and threw herself on Feng Zi''s body but just as their bodies were about to touch, Qie Ranzhe showed up from nowhere and moved Feng Zi out of the way. His speed was so fast that Wen Qinxi concluded that Qie Ranzhe wasn''t a beast-man but rather a cyborg, half human half machine. But he couldn''t carry on questioning Qie Ranzhe''s physiology when he saw the woman embracing Qie Ranzhe.


    Just now, Qie Ranzhe was fast enough to stop Nu Shen from embracing him but not fast enough to get out of the way. Though he knew nothing would ever happen between Qie Ranzhe and Nu Shen he couldn''t help but feel a bitter taste wailing up from the pit of his stomach creeping up to his throat.

 Chapter 255: Third World: Parent Of The Year

    Chapter 255: Third World: Parent Of The Year


    Qie Ranzhe is a male god with men bending skills that could turn the straightest of men into twinks. What more about a simple woman?


    ''Shit!'' cursed Wen Qinxi pulling Nu Shen away. How can she casually put her hands on what didn''t belong to her? Qie Ranzhe wanted to push her from the get-go but Feng Zi suddenly pulled them apart and stood in between them blocking Nu Shen''s view. A satisfied smile appeared on his face his hands itching to grab Feng Zi''s sturdy waist. Clenching and unclenching his fists, he sincerely hoped Feng Zi would get rid of her as soon as possible.


    It seemed they were on the same page as Wen Qinxi had the exact same thought so he said, "Here, your uncle will send you coordinates for a meeting ce. Will leave in two days," in a dismissive tone.


    But of course, Nu Shen wouldn''t care especially when she had waited for her entire life to finally meet Feng Zi. Feigning ignorance, she asked, "Why in two days. I was thinking we could leave tomorrow." The two were not on the same page as they each had their reasons. Nu Shen wanted Feng Zi all to herself and the only way to achieve that was by getting Feng Yu involved. Wen Qinxi on the other hand was hoping to finally end this dry spell, getid and he needed an extra day to recuperate. Fully aware of Qie Ranzhe''s physic, he might not be able to lift a finger for half a day.


    "Personal reasons," replied Wen Qinxi moving to close the door but Nu Shen stopped him wedging her foot at the door. "Zi-ge, how about we have a cup of coffee downstairs. I have something I wanted to tell you and before you refuse.... it can''t wait till tomorrow,"


    Wen Qinxi had a soft spot for Nu Shen but it was toote for the goddess as his heart already belonged to another. Besides, Qie Ranzhe might die of jealousy if he paid attention to her however innocent it might be. He was about to refuse her offer when Qie Ranzhe did the unexpected demonstrating what kind of rtionship they had between them. Some people like toddlers learn better through illustrations rather than words. He did what he had been restraining himself from doing this entire time. His strong arm coiled Feng Zi''s waist drawing him backwards till their bodies were pressed together and said, "We have adult matters to attend to so he can''t go out with you," with his face partially buried in Feng Zi''s neck.


    Wen Qinxi''s body stiffened while his brain was shot into space leaving him with a nk expression. A hard to miss pinkish colour appeared where Qie Ranzhe''s warm breath brushed against his skin. Qie Ranzhe proceeded to caress Feng Zi''s arm with his other hand asking, "Isn''t it right baby?" while staring at him with a passionate gaze.


    Nu Shen seemed distraught yelling, "Zi-ge!" with tear-filled eyes. Her body was trembling at a visible rate ring at Qie Ranzhe surrounded by a resentful aura.


    Wen Qinxi''s throat felt so dry like he had just swallowed sand in the desert. He felt hot all over like an animal in heat thus his unintelligent answer. "I, um, um.... yes, yes..... adult things. Good night," replied Wen Qinxi closing the door with no ounce of regret.


    Nu Shen stood there for a second tightly squeezing her phone. She was promised Feng Zi but Feng Zi was robbed by others over and over again. At first, it was those skanks then came Zhao Huangzhi now it was Qie Ranzhe. When will he realise the only person suitable for him was herself. She was about to knock again choosing the most effective method which was haunting them like a vengeful ghost. If she couldn''t get Feng Zi to leave the room then they won''t get some peace? But just as she stretched her hand out, she heard a banging sounding from the other side of the door followed by lewd kissing sounds. Unable to bear it, she scurried away calling Uncle Feng. If anyone could help her, it would be Feng Zi''s father.


    While Nu Shen was tattling like a teacher''s pet, Wen Qinxi was pressed against the door engaging in a sensual makeup session. Qie Ranzhe couldn''t hold back any longer. He just wanted to eat this man up with no interruptions. Feng Zi was kissed breathless but couldn''t enjoy it for long because again the door was knocked. This time he knew who it was based on the soft knocks and just a second ago his phone was buzzing. It had to be Feng Xieling but the man who was feverishly kissing him didn''t seem to care. Qie Ranzhe was tired of the interruptions and hoped the person would go away.


    "Ran-ge... wait.... wait, it''s Lin Lin," said Wen Qinxi whenever he got a chance to say a word in between the kisses. Hearing this, Qie Ranzhe sighed deeply and ced his head on Feng Zi''s shoulder feeling dejected.


    "Oh," said the general who wished he could just kidnap Feng Zi for one whole day and have him all to himself. Was that too much to ask?


    Qie Ranzhe moved away giving Feng Zi enough space to open the door. As expected, Feng Xieling was standing outside with a plush dragon toy in his hand looking pitiful. Wen Qinxi''s heart softened immediately stretching out his hand to carry Feng Xieling in but someone stopped him. To be more exact, Qie Ranzhe interrupted their father and son reunion.


    "No..... if you let him in, it would be hard to kick him outter," said Qie Ranzhe putting up a stern front.


    Feng Xieling, "..."


    Wen Qinxi, "....."


    "I want to sleepover. I haven''t slept over in a long time," said Feng Xieling speaking up for himself like a brave soul.


    Qie Ranzhe grinned maliciously and said, "Who manipted us in the cake shop and ate so much fudge? If I remember well, it must be you," said Qie Ranzhe pulling the soft-hearted Feng Zi to the side. All Feng Xieling needed to do was act cute and Feng Zi would give in but Qie Ranzhe had some unfinished business and wouldn''t let this happen. He would blindfold Feng Zi if he could.


    "What? No..... no I did not," said Feng Xieling with a guilty chuckle recalling how energetic he was during the afternoon. He almost brought Airen to tears but he would never admit it.


    Qie Ranzhe crouched down before his son thinking, ''The apple definitely didn''t fall far from the tree.'' Every trick up Feng Xieling''s sleeve, Qie Ranzhe knew about it. They were too simr putting Feng Xieling at a disadvantage.


    "You can lie to others but you can''t lie to us. Or... you can continue denying and I will ban sleepovers for let''s say... an eternity," said Qie Ranzhe with an imperative tone that had the two people gasping in horror.


    "You wouldn''t dare," said Feng Xieling ckjawed in disbelief.


    "Monster....," said Wen Qinxi pulling Feng Xieling into his embrace. Who knows if he would ever have a chance to cuddle Lin Lin in the next world yet Qie Ranzhe dared to y that card.


    "Ohhhh..... but I am just getting started. No more bath time with dad, no more bedtime stories and yes, no more fudge," he said as ck lines formed on both Feng Zi and Feng Xieling''s face. Qie Ranzhe was too vicious.


    "Okay, no more. I will confess... I did it," said Feng Xieling with his head lowered looking so pitiable.


    Qie Ranzhe patted his head tooting his own horn thinking, ''I am an awesome parent.''

 Chapter 256: Third world: Negotiating With A Six Year Old

    Chapter 256: Third world: Negotiating With A Six Year Old


    Feng Xieling knew he had been caught with his hand in the cookie jar so he decided to admit his mistake and change tactics. He decided to negotiate but how can one negotiate with an anchored boulder. Qie Ranzhe drove a hard bargain and it seemed Feng Zi wasn''t much help in this matter. Since his n wasn''t working, he decided to stoop so low and sell meng. Hopefully, this could lessen the sentence.


    He lowered his head with his tiny arms behind his back and said, "I promise I won''t do it again... so can I sleep over? I will bring my quilt," while swaying his body side to side giving off an adorable air. Wen Qinxi couldn''t handle this sudden cuteness overload and tried to pick him up but Qie Ranzhe gave him a look that didn''t need words to describe it.


    "For every action, there is an equal reaction which means your actions have consequences. With this kind ofw, how can your actions go unpunished? No sleeping over for at least one week," said Qie Ranzhe with a zed expression.


    "How about two days. I admit my crime and the sentence seems a bit undeserving. Can we reduce it pleasseeeee," said Feng Xieling with teary doe eyes. If the lead prosecutor was Wen Qinxi, Feng Xieling would have gotten away with it a long time ago. His eyes were overshadowed by this adorable little dumpling that he even forgot he was nning on sexercisng tonight.


    "Seven days, no more no less," said Qie Ranzhe standing his ground.


    It was Feng Xieling who wavered first saying, "Four days how about it?" proceeding to hug Qie Ranzhe''s thigh. This move was intentional, Qie Ranzhe didn''t intend on letting go till he got a favourable bargain.


    Qie Ranzhe raised a brow staring at this shameless kid stering himself on his leg. He seemed to read through Feng Xieling''s n and praised himself for thinking ahead.


    "Five days as long as you don''t cause any trouble," he said gesturing for Feng Zi to bring something from the stic bag he brought along from the drug store. It was only then that Wen Qinxi found out that Qie Ranzhe had passed by the drug store. At the time he was too absorbed with Nu Shen''s phone that he didn''t pay much attention.


    The contents of the shopping bag had him both blushing and confused. Blushing because Qie Ranzhe seemed to be on the same page as him about tonight''s activities. Confused because Qie Ranzhe bought a dried fruit mix and a night light for Feng Xieling.


    With a reddened face he handed the stuff over to Qie Ranzhe suppressing a smile. Qie Ranzhe was indeed a considerate man. He had thought through his n in advance preparing all the necessary items to ensure tonight''s sess.


    It was now confirmed, Qie Ranzhe possessed the gift of persuasion. With just that night light, Feng Xieling was won over and couldn''t wait to leave and plug it in. He even forgot what he was here for, thanking his dad for the gift.


    Pleased, Qie Ranzhe picked up Feng Xieling and said, "Let''s go and I will help you plug it in. You want to say goodnight to dad?"


    Feng Xieling''s bright eyes were entirely fixed on the night light that he almost forgot his dad''s presence. "Oh," he said in a cute adorable voice, "goodnight dad." Feng Xieling kissed Feng Zi''s cheek and his attention immediately returned to the night light. Because of that night light, Feng Xieling didn''t cling to Wen Qinxi like usual.


    "Wow, all it took is a night light for him to desert me," said Wen Qinxi feeling a little dejected. Qie Ranzhe noticed his change in mood and said,


    "Don''t worry, I will never desert you as you are my favourite toy," with a smirk on his face. Wen Qinxi had yet again sumbed to Qie Ranzhe''s silvery tongue. If this was the real world, he might have dragged Feng Zi to Las Vegas to get a marriage certificate.


    Qie Ranzhe was about to take Feng Xieling to his room when Machu appeared out of nowhere jumping in front of Qie Ranzhe. "General go back and have a good rest. I will take him to his room," said Machu with a nervousugh. The two exchanged looks wondering why Machu was being a good samaritan and how long had he been eavesdropping on their conversation.


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t refuse, handing over Feng Xieling before taking a step back to stand right beside Feng Zi. Machu didn''t notice their weird gazes and said, "Let''s go say goodnight to your daddies," walking away.


    "You think this has to do with Airen?" asked Qie Ranzhe as they stood by the door watching Machu and Feng Xieling walk down the corridor.


    "Most definitely," replied Wen Qinxi before pulling Qie Ranzhe into the room closing the door behind them.


    While Qie Ranzhe and Feng Zi were doing who knows what, Machu was standing outside Airen''s door to see her using the excuse of dropping Feng Xieling over. As soon as the door opened he put Feng Xieling down as the little ancestor dashed into the room. He then raised his head wanting to say something but when he saw the gorgeous woman with rosy cheeks and damp hair, his voice got stuck in his throat.


    Seeing that Machu wasn''t saying anything for a long time, Airen''s brows creased and asked, "What?"


    "I..... uh, um..... goodnight," he said with his voice bing high pitched at the end of his sentence. ''Fuck!'' he thought before darting away with a flushed face. This was the most embarrassing thing to happen to him. He actually froze at the moment unable to express his feelings.


    ***


    Having gotten rid of all distractions, Wen Qinxi pushed Qie Ranzhe into the shower and pressed him against the wall with their lips entangled with each other. The steamy hot water masked the lewd kissing sounds from escaping the spacious bathroom, not that it mattered. The two could enjoy themselves to their heart''s content as the sweet sounds wouldn''t be able to escape the room.


    Wen Qinxi was like a starved beast that had been caged for decades unleashing all his lustful desires on his lover. Under the steady warm stream of water, Wen Qinxi had his leg wrapped around Qie Ranzhe''s waist while unbuttoning the man''s shirt. Earlier on he wasn''t patient enough to take off their clothes first before getting into the shower.

 Chapter 257: Third World: NSFW

    Chapter 257: Third World: NSFW


    Wen Qinxi took the lead pressing his lips against Qie Ranzhe''s with a hint of urgency. He nned on thoroughly eating this piece of forbidden fruit that he had been yearning for ever since he left the second world. His moist tongue wasn''t polite either, licking Qie Ranzhe''s lips before invading his mouth seeking out the general''s tongue. Qie Ranzhe felt a wave of thrilling numbness spread all over his body under Feng Zi''s provocation.


    He had allowed his sweetheart to take the lead letting him do as he pleased but he was greedy for more. Qie Ranzhe grabbed Feng Zi''s waist and drew him close till their tbodies stuck together. Qie Ranzhe lost all restraint and deepened the kiss in a tyrannical way, kissing Feng Zi till he was out of breath. Like a hungry wolf, he sucked at Feng Zi''s lips with their tongues tangled together in sensual dance while their bodies rubbed against each other.


    Wen Qinxi finally seeded in taking off Qie Ranzhe''s shirt and took a moment to admire this man''s toned muscles. Qie Ranzhe was entirely at his mercy as he watched the man kiss every inch of his skin living behind rosy marks. Subjected to suchscivious teasing, Qie Ranzhe groaned in pleasure with his fingers running through Feng Zi''s hair.


    Pleased with the man''s response, Wen Qinxi slowly got on his knees and undid the belt of Qie Ranzhe''s pants. In a swift motion, he pulled them down. He was soon met by a huge bulge forming a tent under the briefs.


    Wen Qinxi didn''t shy away rubbing the bulge with his hand while kissing right below Qie Ranzhe''s belly button. "Baby... don''t tease me anymore..... I want you," whispered Qie Ranzhe who was looking down at his lover with lustful eyes. It seemed the General was too eager to skip the starters and head straight for the main course but how could Wen Qinxi allow that. He wanted to savour the moment and thoroughly enjoy himself tonight just in case he goes through another dry spell again.


    "Shhh..... let me eat you clean first," said Wen Qinxi slowly taking off Qie Ranzhe''s underwear. He held Qie Ranzhe''s smouldering hot cock with powerful evocative feelings. It was still as charming as before, its head twitching as though begging to be touched. Wen Qinxi kissed the tip of his lover''s stiff member igniting a fiery passion that had Qie Ranzhe begging for more. With the tip of his tongue, he licked the shaft with great interest teasing the general to his heart''s content. Wen Qinxi took his sweet time flicking the man''s head with the tip of his tongue asionally sucking on it as though eating a piece of candy.


    Qie Ranzhe lost his mind as waves of pleasure spread all over his body but that was just the beginning. Wen Qinxi rubbed Qie Ranzhe''s member a few times before sucking half its length into his mouth. It was ufortable at first as he hadn''t done this in a while but he soon got the hang of it. Like riding a bike, you never forget.


    Wen Qinxi rxed the back of his throat and swallowed Qie Ranzhe''s entire length making the man groan in pleasure. He tightened his throat muscles and moved rhythmically paying close attention to Qie Ranzhe''s reaction. Qie Ranzhe''s member was as pleased as its master, throbbing and twitching with a stream of precum seeping from the tiny hole. The shaft became even harder under Wen Qinxi''s constant incitement.


    Qie Ranzhe looked down at his lover who was fully engrossed in his task and whispered, "Don''t, I can''t hold back anymore." These words were spoken with Qie Ranzhe''s hand caressing Feng Zi''s cheeks. He was enjoying this feeling but he was worried for Feng Zi as his length was a bit unbearable but Feng Zi didn''t stop. He opened his mouth wider and swallowed it all down shutting Qie Ranzhe up.


    Once again, Qie Ranzhe was sucked into the sea of pleasure with his hands running through Feng Zi''s hair, at the back of his head, drawing him closer. Lip-smacking sounds filled the bathroom blending in with the sound of running water. Wen Qinxi''s tongue curled around the tippping continuously.


    Waves of pleasure mounted up within Qie Ranzhe as he slowly approached his peak but he couldn''t in good conscious release in Feng Zi''s mouth so he said, "Ah..... baby I am about.... stop," in a pleading tone but Feng Zi ignored him licking and sucking painting an erotic picture, instantly clouding Qie Ranzhe''s mind.


    The hot member in his mouth became thicker with each movement as the general drew closer to his release. Qie Ranzhe''sst shred of reasoning snapped as he suddenly pushed down Feng Zi on the floor and knelt down straddling his head.


    Wen Qinxi didn''t see thising neither did he struggle, epting Qie Ranzhe''s thick cock thrusting to the back of his throat. Qie Ranzhe thrust into Feng Zi''s mouth a couple of times before he was overtaken by an intense pleasure groaning as he shot into his lover''s mouth.


    Wen Qinxi felt the hot fluid fill his mouth but failed to swallow it down coughing a couple of times as some thick liquid seeped down from the corner of his mouth. Qie Ranzhe felt apologetic caressing his lover''s cheek while coaxing him but Wen Qinxi smiled saying, "Instead of apologizing, why not help me wash my body then you can make it up to me," wrapping his arms around Qie Ranzhe''s neck.


    Qie Ranzhe nod his head and obediently helped Feng Zi out of his wet clothes. Wen Qinxi silently watched Qie Ranzhe squeeze out some shower gel onto a sponge and rubbed it till there was foam. Since his boyfriend wanted to be pampered this way, Qie Ranzhe didn''t shy away scrubbing every inch of Feng Zi''s skin not forgetting to kiss his red lips.


    After scrubbing him clean, Qie Ranzhe turned Feng Zi''s body around till Feng Zi''s back was pressed against his chest and began to kiss and suck Feng Zi''s neck as the stream of water rinsed off the soap. Such an erotic seen was driving Qie Ranzhe insane that he dared to smack Feng Zi''s ass a couple of times. Wen Qinxi didn''t seem to mind thoroughly enjoying the feeling of being caressed by Qie Ranzhe''s big hands.


    Qie Ranzhe slid his hand from Feng Zi''s chest all the way down to the man''s member that was standing stiff under running water. He didn''t hesitate to grasp the man''s cock and carefully stroked it hoping to make the man in his arms cry out in pleasure. Feng Zi didn''t disappoint groaning while calling out his name. Such beautiful moments are meant to be savoured and these two took their sweet time serving each other for half the night. To be continued..

    Chapter 258: Third World: NSFW 2


    Face shining with smiles, Wen Qinxi sprawled on the bed after what could only be described as the longest shower he had ever had. His fingers were pale, wrinkled like a shrivelled up prune but he was extremely satisfied. The sound of the water striking the tiles in the shower drew him back into the sensual moment that took ce in that very bathroom. Wen Qinxi turned to lie on his side with his eyes fixed on the door like a cute puppy eagerly waiting for its master.


    They had rolled in between the sheets countless times in the second world but never yed around in the shower. The intense feeling of having his lover satisfy him as streams of warm water caressed his soft skin had him blushing once more. This re-ignited the fiery mes within him with his chrysanthemum feeling itchy. His heartbeat quickened recalling Qie Ranzhe''s touch on his crotch. He wasn''t a concupiscent person but he couldn''t help feel slutty due to his burning desire to be prated. This wasn''t his usual self, in the real world, he was a closed-off nerd with an office that wasbelled as the bat cave. He wasn''t desperate for carnal desires but ever since he got entangled with Qie Ranzhe, that''s all he could ever think of.


    He didn''t know how he was going to return to normal in the real world but for now, he was going to indulge with gusto. Wen Qinxi couldn''t wait for Qie Ranzhe toe out of the room so when he heard the sound of the shower stop, he leapt up in excitement. Still, in his birthday suit, he shuffled on the bed striking a sensual pose to rouse Qie Ranzhe''s interest. Wen Qinxi was putting in a lot of effort but it only looked awkward making his movements stiff. "Damnit, how do supermodels do this shit?" he said trying to look sexy. That''s when he discovered another problem. His member wasn''t hard enough. How was he supposed to express his desire for Qie Ranzhe if his eggnt was as bby as an airless balloon?


    "Should I?...," this was the question he asked himself before purposefully stroking his member as fast as possible recalling the bathroom scene. Fear of getting caught and the smutty images ying in his mind got his member stiff in no time. The only issue was that it felt so good that he was too immersed in his carnal desires that he didn''t hear Qie Ranzhe''s footsteps.


    Like this, Qie Ranzhe caught his lover pleasuring himself and he himself was now out of a job. With a sly grin and eyes as dark as a bottomless pit, he watched Feng Zi with great interest.


    Whether it was the feeling of being watched or that his junior brother was stiff enough, Wen Qinxi stopped but swore, "Shit!" covering up his stiffness. Why he was even hiding it when Qie Ranzhe had seen everything, he himself couldn''t answer that question.


    Qie Ranzhe slowly strode over with a hard to describe expression, his damp glossy strands sticking to his pinkish skin. Wen Qinxi felt a sense of crisis like amb backed up in a corner by the big bad wolf. His flight responses were involuntarily activated with his chrysanthemum clutching shut by itself. It seemed to know something but didn''t dare share with Wen Qinxi.


    As soon as he reached the bed, Qie Ranzhe took off the bath towel revealing his graceful toned legs and of course, the stiff erection pointing in Feng Zi''s direction. Wen Qinxi gulped while staring unblinkingly at the handsome man that is before he was pushed down on the bed with Qie Ranzhe prying his legs apart. A pair of tender lips whispered, "Baby, am l out of the job now?" sniffing Feng Zi''s fragrant hair, "Does your hand do a better job than I do?"


    Wen Qinxi was dumbfounded, not out of fright nor shock but because his lower half was sneakingly moving downwards to align with Qie Ranzhe''s member. In other words, he desperately wanted his greedy hole filled up. There was no doubt he was an addict with incurable cravings and those cravings, only Qie Ranzhe could appease.


    Qie Ranzhe brushed Wen Qinxi''s hair with a dreamy expression and said, "Let''s do an experiment and decide which is better your hand or me?" With that said, Qie Ranzhe nted a kiss on Feng Zi''s neck, a tender sweet kiss that showed how much he cherished him. But the cherished feelings turned fierce with the desire to possess, leaving behind a hickey that would be difficult to be rid of. Wen Qinxi silently groaned from the stimtion while arching his lower back bringing their bodies closer together.


    His skin felt a sweet warm sensation that left him yearning for more. He wanted Qie Ranzhe so bad but the man kept teasing him. He voiced out hisint but Wen Qinxi''s lips were sealed with Qie Ranzhe licking them unperturbed. Qie Ranzhe''s tongue wasn''t satisfied with licking only so it slithered into Feng Zi''s mouth invading his territory. As the tip of their tongues touched, a tingling sensation spread all over Feng Zi''s body making him feverish. Unable to control himself, he rubbed against Qie Ranzhe''s body with his fingertips digging into the General''s back.


    Qie Ranzhe''s kisses turned tyrannical, sucking and even biting those lips as thoughying im. He wanted to leave a visible bruise for the entire world to see. Wen Qinxi hissed in pain but he couldn''t do anything about it because the man on top of him was pressing him down venting his desire.


    Satisfied with his work of art he shifted his attention to Feng Zi''s corbone kissing and sucking like a bloodthirsty leech, marking him as though marking his territory. Wen Qinxi felt like his entire body was lit on fire as his thirst for this man intensified to the point that he couldn''t control his speech. "Fuck me..... Just fuck me already," he said in a high pitched voice that even he himself couldn''t believe came out of his throat.


    Like a big boss viin crawling out of hell, Qie Ranzhe chuckled with a devilish grin and licked Feng Zi''s plumb nipple towering on his chest. ''Fuck,'' thought Wen Qinxi as his body convulsed from the provocation.


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t stop licking and kissing like a starved beast aiming to eat him clean.


    Wen Qinxi gasped in pleasure as his man marked him all the way down to his abdomen. His stiff member throbbed seeking attention but Qie Ranzhe was pinning both his wrists above his head that he couldn''t touch himself. It was bing unbearable that he was begging Qie Ranzhe in a coy tone to let him off.


    Qie Ranzhe stopped his actions and looked down at his lover who was staring at him with misty dark eyes while rubbing against his body with precum seeping from his erection. He took pity on him and decided to thrust into him and finally conquer the great Feng Zi but he couldn''t be rash otherwise he might be barred from sex for a very long time. ording to his research, he had to prepare Feng Zi thoroughly otherwise it would be painful.


    He grabbed the stic bag on the pedestal and took out the watermelon voured lubricant. Wen Qinxi who had been stuck in a trance waiting for the general to prate him, snapped out of it as a strong scent of watermelon assaulted his senses.


    With misty eyes, he stared at the man who was busying himself with a clear bottle decorated with refreshing watermelon pictures. He didn''t understand what was happening. When they did the deed in the second world, they never needed anything. A kiss and a dash of pheromones were all it took to get things done so what was going on?

 Chapter 259: Third World: NSFW 3

    Chapter 259: Third World: NSFW 3


    Qie Ranzhe noticed his lover''s perplexed expression and exined, "I read up on it. If I don''t do this you will get hurt," with his finger coated in a thick slippery fluid.


    Wen Qinxi didn''t think anything of it, brushing it off as a thing of this world. Please, don''t me this nerd. He knew what lubricant was but he just didn''t think they need it based on his experience in the second world. Things seemed to glide and slide naturally so he thought that was the norm.


    "What the fuck," he yelled as a finger suddenly slid into his chrysanthemum that immediately clenched tightly swallowing that intrusive object.


    Qie Ranzhe was already painfully hard so he restrained Feng Zi and said, "Baby be good and rx..... I promise I will make you feel good." Wen Qinxi closed his eyes and tried to rx. His chrysanthemum naturally opened up and Qie Ranzhe''s finger moved in and out intensifying the itchy feeling.


    Wen Qinxi began to move with his hole pushing against Qie Ranzhe''s finger. He wanted more but he couldn''t annunciate words groaning with pleasure. Qie Ranzhe felt this lewd hole opened up to him so he shoved two then three fingers exploring his lover''s sacred ce while stroking the stiff member. Wen Qinxi moaned and raved incessantly begging to be prated deeper.


    Qie Ranzhe''s eyes darkened staring at the man ecstatically riding his fingers as though his life depends on it. He wasn''t happy about this, if Feng Zi had to enjoy himself it would be when he ms his member into the man''s chrysanthemum. "Baby, do you want my fingers or me?" whispered Qie Ranzhe taking out his fingers from the warm ce.


    "Ah.... you. I want you," replied a sexually deprived Wen Qinxi. He desperately wanted some release but Qie Ranzhe wouldn''t let him. Qie Ranzhe wanted to torment Feng Zi a little more but what Feng Zi said next burnt to ash whatever little restraint he had left. "Fuck me daddy Ran," escaped such obscene words from Feng Zi''s mouth.


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t hold back any longer and shoved his cock halfway into Feng Zi''s hole. Wen Qinxi who had been expecting indescribable pleasure was suddenly hit by waves of pain, with his chrysanthemum clenching tightly making it hard for Qie Ranzhe to move in further without hurting him. Purple veins protruded on Feng Zi''s neck as he said, "Get out..... fuck! Why does it hurt so much?" In the first world, he only had reached third base and in the second world, he was an omega which meant he had no idea how painful the first time would be. Now he understood why Qie Ranzhe had to prepare him.


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t immediatelye out coaxing his lover, "Rx baby and I promise it will feel good in a second." Wen Qinxi was afraid of pain but trusted Qie Ranzhe so he silently nod his head and mustered some courage. Qie Ranzhe kissed Feng Zi''s lips as he thrusted deeper till his entire length filled his man. Wen Qinxi wanted to scream in pain but his lips were blocked so he bit Qie Ranzhe''s lips to vent his frustration.


    The subtle sweet scent of blood filled his mouth but Qie Ranzhe didn''t stop. He thrust in cautiously, easing his lover into it. Soon he felt the man beneath him rx so his gentle thrusts turned fierce as he searched for that sweet spot that would make Feng Zi cry out in pleasure.


    "Ah.... fuck, right there, oh shit..... fuck me daddy Ran," moaned Wen Qinxi in a husky voice as soon as the pain dissipated. Qie Ranzhe had found his sweet spot with ease and couldn''t help voicing out his pleasure. Having received confirmation, Qie Ranzhe turned into a vicious beast plunging into his lover filling the man''s insides.


    The room was suddenly filled with obscene sounds of skin pping against skin with a pa pa pa sound and groans that could be mistaken as animalistic. Qie Ranzhe''s breathing quickened thrusting deeper and deeper as an inexplicable tension built up in his lower half. "Ahh! Baby, you taste so good," said Qie Ranzhe holding either side of Feng Zi''s waist thrusting with force.


    Wen Qinxi could barely think straight biting into Qie Ranzhe''s shoulder to counter the pain mixed with pleasure. If he had known it would be this painful he would have dyed this session but who was he kidding, he was now addicted to Qie Ranzhe. Under Qie Ranzhe''s constant provocation, Wen Qinxi couldn''t hold back any longer as the enjoyable sensation mounted up in his lower half. He quickly reached a climax with his body convulsing, his fingers leaving a mark on Qie Ranzhe''s back. His cum shot up his chest and abdomen with his chrysanthemum sucking Qie Ranzhe''s cock making the two men groan in pleasure.


    Qie Ranzhe licked the cum off Feng Zi that is before he turned him around and took him from behind. Pa pa pa sounds echoed in the room as Qie Ranzhe plunged faster and faster groaning in pleasure. His scalding hot palm slowly crept up Qie Ranzhe''s semi-stiff cock and he stroked it while thrusting with vigour.


    Wen Qinxi''s junior stood at attention in no time. Satisfied, Qie Ranzhe ced his hands on either side of Feng Zi''s shoulders drawing his lover back allowing him to reach unchartered waters that had Feng Zi''s body shudder in pleasure. As expected, Feng Zi''s jerk as he cried out, "Ran-ge, don''t stop. Ah!.... I am cumming.... ahhh," with his body almost giving in to exhaustion.


    Hearing his lover scream like that, Qie Ranzhe felt his body tense up as waves of pleasure overwhelmed his body. In a few more thrusts he released inside Wen Qinxi with a loud groan.


    Qie Ranzhe copsed on Feng Zi''s back as the two men panted catching their breath. Wen Qinxi was both satisfied and upset, satisfied because he climaxed twice, upset because it was too painful. Finally, it was over but who knew before Qie Ranzhe exited his body, the onceid cock had turned stiff again without warning.


    Wen Qinxi, "...."


    For three more hours, Wen Qinxi was fucked several times till Qie Ranzhe was satisfied. It was only after venting out all that pent up sexual tension did Qie Ranzhe let Feng Zi go. Even when he cleaned up the drowsy Feng Zi, he still ate some tofu yearning for more. One could say it was a bad thing the general remained a virgin for this long because he made Feng Zi cry.

 Chapter 260: Third World: Possessive Much?

    Chapter 260: Third World: Possessive Much?


    It was now official, the general had officially stepped out of the virgin territory and yed a bit much, exhausting Feng Zi. Even though they had yed for more than half the night, Qie Ranzhe''s sleep was disturbed when he was woken up by his urges. His member was pitching a tent below the quilt as though begging for more ofst night''s treat.


    Qie Ranzhe found it hrious and turned to face the man with his back facing him. The morning sunshine seeped in through the closed blinds and shone on the man''s smooth skin decorated with strawberry-like marks, evidence ofst night''s escapades. Qie Ranzhe shuffled over with a sheepish smile. He reached out and caressed the hickeys on Feng Zi''s back like a narcissistic artist admiring his masterpiece.


    It must be that his touch was ticklish because Feng Zi who had been sleeping peacefully a while ago, moved while mumbling something. Qie Ranzhe stopped moving his fingers without making a sound. He wouldn''t mind having an early breakfast but didn''t want to disturb Feng Zi''s sleep. Feng Zi didn''t wake up but felt around for Qie Ranzhe''s hand and pulled it over till Qie Ranzhe was spooning him. Satisfied, Feng Zi smiled and stopped moving with his breath evening out.


    Cosying up to his lover, Qie Ranzhe felt like a thousand fireworks were lit in his heart inciting feelings of inexplicable happiness. He would love it if time freezes at this moment but his daydream was smashed by his enthusiastic member. His hot rod hardened a whole lot more and poked the innocent bystander lying in his embrace. It seemed Feng Zi felt it as he mumbled, "Ran-ge let me sleep some more then we can do it."


    An even bigger smile reaching his eyes appeared on Qie Ranzhe''s face at the mention of this. He was going to have breakfast in bed but it turns out he was thinking too much because ten minutester a pillow was thrown in his direction by an angry porcupine with its defensive spines up.


    Why the sweet fluffy moment changed to this? It was because Wen Qinxi felt a hard thing poking at his painful backside just as he woke up. Like a cat whose tail had just been stepped on he freaked out and almost fell out of bed covering his sore chrysanthemum. All the things in the second world were rainbows and unicorns, all fake. His cute rosebud was painfully torn apart and this man dared have another round in the morning. Little did he know he was the one who agreed to it. This kind of urrence happened too often in the second world that he had an inbuilt automated response whenever Qie Ranzhe teased him in the morning. But this was the third world not the secondnding him in hot soup.


    After being drilled like concrete for half the night, he didn''t want to do it again. In such excruciating pain, he vowed not to have extra curriculum activities for the rest of his life but *cough.... cough* who was he kidding. "Don''t you fuckin think about it," said Wen Qinxi ring at Qie Ranzhe but it was like punching cotton. Qie Ranzhe''s lips twitched suppressing a smile, he was obviously struggling to keep a straight face.


    "I am not," said Qie Ranzhe his expression honest but his words insincere. Of course, he was thinking about it. How could he not? The man tasted like mountain dew on a hot sunny day, both refreshing and satisfying.


    "You obviously are thinking of sex right now. I don''t want it," said Wen Qinxi covering himself with the quilt leaving no gaps to let air in.


    Qie Ranzhe found the bundle under the quilt quite cute and like a cat that just saw a wool ball, he wanted to poke and tease him. From the stic bag he took out a numbing cream he bought yesterday and shuffled over to get his lover''s attention.


    He patiently rubbed Feng Zi''s body over the quilt and coaxed him in a gentle tone. "You satisfied mest night so let me take responsibility, okay?"


    Under the quilt, Wen Qinxi was grinning from ear to ear d that Qie Ranzhe had finally let go of the idea of having a morning round. Last night was so pleasurable that his face blushed just thinking about it but the pain was a bit much for him. ''Maybe it won''t be as painful the next time? Ah, nevermind. Will only stop at the third base next time,'' he thought before poking his head out the quilt. His appearance was crude and disordered as he had just woken up. Qie Ranzhe found this look dangerously irresistible. His eyes darkened vowing to be the only one to see this version of Feng Zi.


    Qie Ranzhe bit his lower lip and said, "Let me take care of you then you can have some breakfast." Those hypnotic lustful eyes had Wen Qinxi agreeing to it without putting up a fight. He was a little bashful having Qie Ranzhe apply some medicine on his chrysanthemum but supressed it when he remembered he was in this exact situation because Qie Ranzhe was greedyst night. The CEO naturally had to take responsibility.


    Qie Ranzhe was the same as before, pampering him to such an extent that he didn''t have to go downstairs for breakfast. He even didn''t get to dress himself because this CEO insisted on doing it for him. To be precise, Qie Ranzhe helped him dress so he could grope here and there in the process, all in the name of getting him dressed.


    Since he didn''t want his man walking around unnecessaryily, he brought up Feng Xieling so the three of them could have breakfast together. As soon as that door opened, Feng Xieling jumped on the bed right on top of Wen Qinxi, his face wreathed with smiles. The novelty of the new night light finally wore off and he remembered he still had a dad.


    Wen Qinxi yelped out when Feng Xieling jumped on him but his expression remained serene rubbing his son''s hair. "You little rascal, do I look like a trampoline?" said Wen Qinxi gently moving the enthusiastic Feng Xieling to the side.


    Feng Xieling wanted to respond when he noticed his dad''s exhausted look so he asked, "Dad didn''t get much sleep? You look tired." He was concerned for his dad''s well being which is why he had to ask. If his dad wasn''t feeling well he would go buy him some medicine.


    "I am fine Lin Lin, let''s have some breakfast. Dad is so hungry," replied Wen Qinxi just as Qie Ranzhe setup the table in the suite. As to why he was doing it himself instead of asking the concierge to take care of everything, it was because he didn''t want unnecessary personnel seeing Feng Zi''s dreamy countenance. One look at his sluggish appearance, swollen lips and hickeys on his neck, anyone could tell the happenings ofst night. Such a suggestive appearance would incite perverts and he didn''t want strangers imagining his lover naked. There is only one word to describe Qie Ranzhe''s actions. The man was possessive without even realizing it.


    The three people sat down with various colourful dishes neatly arranged at the table. Wen Qinxi made sure Feng Xieling and Qie Ranzhe''s bowls were filled but Feng Xieling didn''t seem to be eating much. Out of concern, Wen Qinxi asked, "What''s wrong?" He nced over to Qie Ranzhe who also stopped eating staring at the cute dumpling.


    Feng Xieling hesitated for a moment before asking, "Did dad go to an amusement parkst night without me?" Otherwise why else would Feng Zi be this exhausted? For a six-year-old, this is the only thing that coulde to mind. His dad snuck out at night and went to have fun without him.

 Chapter 261: Third World: Driven Like A Mustang Last Night

    Chapter 261: Third World: Driven Like A Mustang Last Night


    Wen Qinxi almost choked with Qie Ranzhe chuckling while burying his head in his food. "Yes dad, did you sneak out and go to an amusement park without us?" said Qie Ranzhe in a sarcastic tone.


    Wen Qinxi sneered at Qie Ranzhe then turned to Feng Xieling with a radiant smile. "How can that be, I didn''t go to an amusement parkst night but your father dragged me along for a five-hour car ride so it''s all his fault I am this spent," said Wen Qinxi shifting the me to the driver who drove him like a mustangst night. "Tell daddy that he''s barred from driving at night," said Wen Qinxi before taking a bite out of a steamed stuffed bun.


    Coming to his dad''s rescue he said, "Father is banned from car rides at night," in a bossy tone that was both cute and menacing.


    Qie Ranzhe found this funny so he chuckled lightly and said, "At night only, right?


    Feng Xieling seemed to give it some serious thought and finally nod his head saying, "Yes," before Wen Qinxi could stop him. This general had found a loophole, if he didn''t take advantage of it then his name was not Qie Ranzhe.


    "Then I will only drive during the day," he said with a devious smirk that had Wen Qinxi secretly lighting a candle for himself.


    Thinking he was helping his dad, Feng Xieling said, "Yes, father can only drive during the day," in a heroic voice having saved the day. The cute kid had been roped into an adult conversation without even knowing it. He joyfully ate his breakfast not aware that he had just sentenced his dad into daytime car rides. As they say, ignorance is bliss.


    ***


    Two dayster five people were standing at the coordinates sent out by Feng Yu. They had managed to shake off Qie Guaiwu and Zhao Huangzhi but had brought along Nu Shen. The drive was awkward and that was due to several reasons. The first was Nu Shen''s constant interjections and several futile attempts to get Feng Zi''s attention. It was so bad that even Feng Xieling got tired of it and snapped at her once.


    "Can''t you see my dad doesn''t want to talk to you? Give up already," said the cute dumpling after he chose the wrong answer on his mathematics app due to Nu Shen''s irritating voice. Actually, he liked Nu Shen''s bubbly personality and sweet voice at first but the more she spoke the more irritating it became. He didn''t want to be impolite and endured it but after picking the wrong answer due to her non-stop chattering, he had had enough.


    She had been yelling out numbers, who knows what she was even talking about. After hearing three two, two three for so long, Feng Xieling got his numbers messed up and yelled at the prettydy. Once the words escaped his lips, four adults except for Qie Ranzhe wore a ''what just happened'' expression. Qie Ranzhe praised his son with an unmistakable look of pride written all over his face.


    Seeing that proud expression on Qie Ranzhe''s face, Wen Qinxi nudged Qie Ranzhe expressing his disapproval. He didn''t want Feng Xieling developing a habit of being rude. Qie Ranzhe seemed to understand him and hence reprimanded littlerade Lin Lin. "Lin Lin you shouldn''t be disrespectful to adults," said Qie Ranzhe making Wen Qinxi happy. It seemed he and Qie Ranzhe were on the same page, typical of great parents but this statement was soon debunked when Qie Ranzhe opened his mouth once more.


    "But in this case, you are justified. When ites to protecting your dad there is no need to be polite."


    Feng Xieling''s lowered head perked up with a beaming smile. It felt great protecting his dad and now that he got his father''s approval, he would continue fighting the good fight. Unbeknownst to him, he had been employed as a shield for his father''s potential love rivals. Wen Qinxi felt helpless, he didn''t know how to deal with this pair of father and son so he kept silent.


    Nu Shen on the other end, found out this kid was in some way rted to Feng Zi so she changed targets. If you want to capture the parent''s heart then your first target would be their kid. She went after Feng Zi making the atmosphere even more awkward.


    Beside Nu Shen''s saga, another problem was Machu and Airen. Because of the limited space in the SUV, he had to squeeze in with Airen that each time the car swayed, he would inevitably bump into Airen''s body. At one point, he Airen''s boobs by an inch. He was already nervous from the get-go but after being red at by the beautiful woman, he lost his shit and begged for a swap in seats. He didn''t want Airen to mistake him for a pervert so he asked Feng Xieling to swap seats.


    Airen on the other hand thought he wanted to swap seats because he liked Nu Shen better which ultimately led to an unexpected vinegar jar explosion. Qie Ranzhe would have let him swap seats but after seeing Nu Shen''s attention shift from Feng Zi to Feng Xieling sitting right beside her, he didn''t want to anymore.


    ''Thank yourade Lin Lin for your sacrifice,'' he thought throwing Feng Xieling under the bus. He didn''t know his action would leave a terrible impression on Feng Xieling''s view on girls.


    Machu who had just been refused a seat swap was left in an awkward situation with beads of cold sweat forming on his forehead. As though this wasn''t enough, Nu Shen said the worst possible thing one could say to a kid with same-sex parents.


    "Lin Lin don''t you want to have a mommy. Do you know what a mommy is? She''s like me. Pretty, sweet and she would cook nice things for you. She would give you cuddles at night and kiss your wounds when you get hurt. A mommy is much more awesome than having two-," she said but didn''t get to finish her sentence when Qie Ranzhe hit the emergency brakes.


    ''This bitch dares,'' thought Qie Ranzhe ready to take his seat belt off and kick her out of the car but before he could do that Feng Xieling asked,


    "All those things dad does for me so what''s the use of getting a mommy?"


    Qie Ranzhe who now had his hand on the handle of the car door paused. His son wasn''t easily fooled which was good.


    Wen Qinxi on the other hand, got so pissed off with eyes as red as a devil, resembling a kettle that was about to explode. Airen immediately passed over her phone with ear buds to Machu. Machu naturally understood and ced the earbuds into Feng Xieling''s ears.


    "Here, watch some cartoons kid," said Machu before closing his own ears. He didn''t want to hear Feng Zi swearing.


    As expected, Wen Qinxi went off the rails in the very next second. "Nu Shen, what the fuck! Who do you think you are talking shit in front of my kid. Who the f#^!^%#^#&:%@^#*&, do you think you are? Just because my @#@#$;@$@% pathetic excuse of a father likes you, it doesn''t @%@$@$@%#%%%. Such a fuckin @^@$$@%@%%@"%@$@_________."


    By the time Wen Qinxi was done with her, she was weeping but that only made it worse.


    "What are you fuckin crying for? Weren''t you the one talking shit just now? @%@$$@$@$$@$%%@%@%%@."


    Let''s just say after this no one had the balls to speak again till they reached their destination. If there was one thing they took away from this, it would be to never to offend Feng Zi.

 Chapter 262: Third World: Exchanging Indirect Kisses Sharing A Watermelon Popsicle

    Chapter 262: Third World: Exchanging Indirect Kisses Sharing A Watermelon Popsicle


    Despite clearly fighting a losing battle, Zhao Huangzhi and Qie Guaiwu persisted. Qie Ranzhe had intentionally left without anyone''s knowledge but the two women were more resourceful than they appeared. President Qie wanted them to acquire vital intel on Feng Yu so he could send backup and restrain the world''s most wanted criminal. With the help of a military satellite within the area, the president''s office pinpointed Qie Ranzhe''s location.


    Using this piece of information, Zhao Huangzhi and Qie Guaiwu caught up to them. They had been expecting Feng Zi to be surprised to see them but he seemed the least bit unfazed not even acknowledging them, treating them like air. He was already seeing red in anger and the presence of these two women was just making it worse. He wanted to tear off the flesh off their bodies but for the sake of not traumatizing his son, he restraint himself.


    "What are you two doing here?" asked Airen who was also in a horrible mood. After the car ride, her hands were itching to fire bullets to vent her anger and these two happened to show up. She drew her weapon as she asked this question. This was her sending a message to these two to go back to whatever hole they crawled out off.


    "Airen!" yelled Wen Qinxi as he felt Feng Xieling''s trembling fingers sping onto his. The bloodthirsty expression on Airen''s face dissipated at Feng Zi''s voice. She holstered her weapon and strode a few feet away from the rest of the group, vowing to kill these two women in their sleep. What young miss Airen didn''t know was she was experiencing a thing called jealousy which amplified her anger towards the wrong people.


    Seeing her walk away, her steps fierce as though she had a vendetta against the sand, Machu followed behind not at all concerned for his own life.


    Wen Qinxi picked up Feng Xieling and strolled up a sand dune to create some distance from the vile stepmother and two stepsisters that seemed to have transmigrated from the fairytale Cindere. Seeing his princess walk away from him at the stroke of midnight, Qie Ranzhe ran after him but Qie Guaiwu stopped him.


    "So you know? Is that why you are misbehaving and breaking military protocol? You know what he has done, what he is.... yet you sacrifice your merits for him. Have you lost your mind," said Qie Guaiwu with her feelings spewing out like a hot spring that''s been under pressure fir a long time. Qie Ranzhe removed her hand that was holding his wrist and walked away after giving her a disdainful look. He couldn''t understand why everyone opposed their rtionship. Same-sex rtionships weren''t a rare urrence and it was widely epted. Furthermore, this man had a child with him which was a miracle in itself. What else could it be apart from destiny? All his life he had followed their every order against his personal feelings yet they wouldn''t allow him to be happy. It can be said that the general had had enough.


    "It''s not normal Ran-er, it will end in disaster," she yelled at his residing back but Qie Ranzhe kept on walking. Being ignored once more, she angrily kicked the sand. It was after raising the dust venting out her anger that she heard snifflesing from behind the car. The two women followed the sound and found Nu Shen squatted on the ground with her face buried in between her knees. It seemed Nu Shen got the short end of the stick and failed miserably.


    While the two women were fakeforting Nu Shen, Wen Qinxi was cleaning up Nu Shen''s mess. Her words seemed to have roused Feng Xieling''s curiosity. It would actually be a surprise if it didn''t.


    "If a mommy is so much better, why don''t I have one?" asked Feng Xieling nervously squeezing his plush toy. Wen Qinxi sat on the ground crisscrossed and ced Feng Xieling on his legs. He began to draw stick figures on the sand, two tall ones and a tiny one in the middle holding hands. The drawing wasn''t anything special, if anything it could be rated kindergarten level but it was its meaning that was of the uttermost importance.


    "Lin Lin, a mommy would be great, as equally great as having no mommy but what matters most is happiness. Families are bound together for a lifetime and if they aren''t happy wouldn''t that make such a lifetime dreadful? Lin Lin, I want you to live in a happy family, with happy parents. I and your daddy are happy together and we are happy to have you. To me, this makes this life worth it," said Wen Qinxi expressing a mouthful of words. This was his motto in life, to be happy.


    Feng Xieling seemed to understand. If a mommy wouldn''t make his dad happy then he would rather have two dads. Besides, having two dads wasn''t at all bad. They both loved him which was the most important thing to him. Qie Ranzhe who had been eavesdropping this entire time walked over and handed Feng Xieling a strawberry milk popsicle he had packed up in a cooler box.


    "Thank you, daddy," said Feng Xieling receiving the unwrapped popsicle. He didn''t even know his address towards Qie Ranzhe had changed. As they say in paternity court, anyone can be a father but not everyone can be a daddy. Feng Xieling was about to take a nibble when he noticed Feng Zi didn''t have one so he lifted his tiny hand towards his dad asking him to take a bite.


    "Look at you sharing with your dad. Maybe you should teach your daddy that sharing is caring," he said but before Wen Qinxi could take a bite, an icy block touched his lips. Once he looked up, Qie Ranzhe was holding out a popsicle to his lips.


    "No need, I brought your dad a special kind of popsicle," said Qie Ranzhe with a sly grin that had Wen Qinxi furrow his brows. As the vour spread across his taste buds, Wen Qinxi''s face flushed in an instant. How did this shy bunny transform into a cunning fox overnight? He could only guess that lovemaking was the key to unlocking the flirtatious beast within Qie Ranzhe. The popsicle in his mouth was watermelon yoghurt vour which incitedst night''s memories. This was exactly Qie Ranzhe''s purpose.


    Satisfied with the oue, Qie Ranzhe took back the popsicle and took a nibble right were Feng Zi left a bite mark. Wen Qinxi couldn''t help but blush recalling their first night. Little did he know he was already breaking his promise of not going beyond third base. It seemed this young master had already forgotten the pain due to Qie Ranzhe''s incessant teasing.


    Qie Ranzhe ced his arm around Feng Zi eating the popsicle in turns. Like this, the popsicle vanished with the two exchanging indirect kisses.

 Chapter 263: Third World: Feng Yus Beef With Feng Xieling

    Chapter 263: Third World: Feng Yu''s Beef With Feng Xieling


    While the three people were enjoying ice-cold popsicles under the hot sun, Feng Yu was watching through his binocrs like a stalker. He already knew Qie Ranzhe survived the fall and worried his son would suffer grievances. But it turned out his family''s cabbage suffered a different kind of grievance. The devil ate his family''s cabbage without consulting him. Now they were feeding each other popsicles in broad daylight with a tiny person.


    Speaking of the tiny person, Feng Yu zoomed in on that little troublemaker sitting on Feng Zi''s legs. "Fuck!" swore Feng Yu almost dropping his binocrs. How did the devil''s spawn find it''s way back? Back then, he had made sure to ditch the bundle halfway across the continent but it turns out this kid found his way into his son''s arms.


    "Sir, are you okay?" asked Feng Yu''s right-hand man after noticing his boss''s ashen face and trembling lips.


    Feng Yu came back to himself and said, "Fire sleeping gas and bring them all back to headquarters. Make sure you lock everyone up except for Ah-Zi and Shen-er... don''t forget to shoot down that military satellite after you knock them out," instructed Feng Yu before looking through his binocrs once more. He couldn''t understand how these two dragons managed totch on to his son again. They were like an aggressive cancer, hard to get rid off.


    The man followed his instructions and instructed a few men to reload the rocketunchers. In a matter of seconds, he fired a rocket filled with sleeping gas up in the air. Once it reached a specifictitude, it exploded releasing a cloud of sleeping gas that descended on the unsuspecting victims. Well, Qie Ranzhe and Wen Qinxi saw iting and permitted it. This was the only way they could get into Feng Yu''s evilyer. Once in there, they could look for the crystal so they didn''t try and stop Feng Yu.


    In an instant, the entire team copsed to the ground except for Airen who was somewhat levelheaded. This was because to properly protect Feng Zi, Feng Yu made her go through drug-resistant training. Because of this, she watched Machu fall right on top of her with his head buried into her bosom. "Fuck! And he says he''s not a pervert," she said about to push him off her body but Machu in his unconsciousness rubbed against Airen''s perky chest treating it like a fluffy pillow. With this action, Machu had what wasing to him.


    Airen grasped him by the cor and didn''t hesitate tond a perfect punch which exined why Machu woke upter with a panda eye. After venting out her anger, she personally carried Machu to the car and even applied soothing gel on his swollen eye.


    Just as she put the troublesome man away, she noticed Feng Yu''s man take away Feng Xieling from Feng Zi''s embrace. It was then that she realised Feng Yu had beef with Feng Xieling. She walked over and took the sound asleep Feng Xieling into her arms before entering the car they ced Feng Zi and Nu Shen in. As for Qie Ranzhe, who knows how many ps Feng Yu gave him in his sleep.


    It''s a shame he couldn''t kill him otherwise he would have skinned him alive and left him to dry in the hot desert sun. He just had to take advantage of their separation to convince his son to be sensible. Nothing good woulde out of dating Qie Ranzhe.


    While the sleeping captives were shoved into vehicles, a rocket wasunched striking the military satellite that had been watching the good show. Feng Yu didn''t forget to lift his middle finger at President Qie in the process. Once done, he took a bazooka and aimed it at Qie Ranzhe''s beloved SUV. He didn''t hesitate to blow the General''s vehicle partially because it had a tracker and mostly because he hated Qie Ranzhe for taking away his baby. As they say tit for tat or an eye for an eye. Qie Ranzhe took his baby away so it''s only natural he takes the General''s baby away in turn.


    With a menacingevilugh, Feng Yu blew up the car saying, "How does that feel, asshole..... Hahahahaha." It could only be said that the apple didn''t fall far from the tree. Feng Zi most definitely inherited his psycho side from Feng Yu. "Did you record it?" he asked his right-hand man.


    "Yes, sir," replied the man who was shocked beyond words. He was instructed to take pictures of Feng Yu on top of the ck SUV trampling on it, kicking it and breaking its headlights. Now he was ordered to take a video of Feng Yu blowing up the car. He was afraid to tell his boss that the General will most likely not be as depressed about this as Feng Yu expected. But what right did he have to spoil his boss''s mood? After Feng Yu had had enough revenge, the convoy of ck 4x4 cars drove out of the desert.


    Meanwhile, in President Qie''s office, the tech operations officer was reporting the events to the President personally. He was standing as far as possible reporting in a mouse-like voice. He had already watched live thest moments before the satellite went down and knew it would anger the president which is why he stood as far as possible.


    President Qie noticed his odd behaviour and said, "Come closer. I won''t bite," which was a lie because as soon as he saw Feng Yu lift a middle finger at him before blowing up the military satellite, President Qie lost his shit. The poor officer had the tablet flung at him and ran out of the office like his ass was on fire.


    "Ipetent assholes! Fuck!" yelled President Qie before swiping everything off his desk. The entire floor was soon covered by broken porcin, spilt tea, wet papers and ripped books. The secretary didn''t dare enter with her body flinching every time a smashing sound was heard.


    As the raging storm passed, President Qie regained hisposure and took a deep breath while brushing his hair back. He could only rely on his sister to report on Feng Yu''s location otherwise the entire earth would soon be turned into a desert. Oh, how he loathed that Feng Yu. He couldn''t wait to be rid of him.


    He pressed a button on the inte and said, "Secretary Zhe, prepare my jet.... and get me ck Cobras," with thest request made after a moment of hesitation. Every military has one division that is meant to deal with highly confidential missions. They were not onlypetent and precise but also ruthless in doing their jobs. The only reason why he didn''t involve them before was that there was no guarantee that Qie Ranzhe would be safe but since his son had be defiant and Feng Yu had pushed him off the edge, he didn''t hesitate anymore. Sacrifices have to be made for the greater good.

 Chapter 264: Third World: Nu Shens Counterattack

    Chapter 264: Third World: Nu Shen''s Counterattack


    There is an old Latin proverb that states ''fortune favours the bold'' meaning a sessful person is often one who is willing to take risks. However, this proverb didn''t seem to work for Nu Shen. Maybe it inspired her to do such a risky thing but it didn''t seem to work for her.


    To fully understand the extent of her stupidity, let''s go back two hours ago. As soon as they arrived at Feng Yu''s base, Nu Shen was separated from the group and given a drug to wake her up. Once she woke up, the floodgates opened pouring out all her grievances with no restraint. The more she spoke the uglier Feng Yu''s expression got. He didn''t think his family''s cabbage had been eaten to this extend with all the green leaves gone.


    Qie Ranzhe had not only got his son pregnant which he was still pissed off about, burnt his son''s beautiful feathers and now he had even taken his son as a wife. "Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!" cursed Feng Yu kicking the corner of his desk enraged. He suddenly regretted all those wasted years. He should have summoned his courage when they were still enemies, maybe Feng Zi wouldn''t have formed this kind of rtionship with Qie Ranzhe.


    Anyway, there was no use in crying over spilt milk. It''s what he was going to do next that was important. Thinking of the next step, Feng Yu scratched his head in contemtion. His head was throbbing from all the thinking.


    Seeing Feng Yu''s distraught expression, Nu Shen decided to step in. She just needed a chance, just one chance to showcase all her good points to Feng Zi. Others had had their turn apart from her. No one had been able to tame Feng Zi throughout the years and she sincerely believed the one person who could achieve that was herself. Now that Qie Ranzhe was in the picture, she had to show Feng Zi that whatever Qie Ranzhe can do, she can do too.


    After mustering up some courage, she said, "I just need an opportunity. Let me go to his room..... I, I am sure I can convince him," seemingly nervous. Who knew what she was nning. Even Feng Yu was just as clueless. He slumped into his chair massaging the space in between his brow. Nu Shen immediately walked over to the liquor decanter at the corner of the room and poured out some whiskey for Feng Yu. She added some ice to the ss and handed it to him. It was no surprise she knew Feng Yu''s preferences, this man was the only father she knew and solely hoped he would be her father inw.


    Feng Yu thanked her and said, "Do as you see fit but don''t push him too far. He turns into a little monster when he''s angry," twirling the ss in his hands.


    Having gotten permission, Nu Shen went to her room and prepared herself like a bride preparing for her wedding night. She, scrubbed, waxed and doused her body with a sweet fruity fragrance that could bring any man to their knees. Nu Shen might be delusional and naive but she was indeed gorgeous. A bewitching beauty that could make the masses worship the ground she steps on.


    Having done all this, how could Feng Zi resist her. Dressed in a thin low cut silk dress that one could see through and splendid gold ornaments in her hair, she unlocked Feng Zi''s room. The anklet on her foot jiggled as she cautiously stepped into the darkroom. Good thing the bright light from the big round moon was seeping into the room from the wide-open curtains otherwise she would bump into things and alert Feng Zi too early.


    Biting her lower lip in nervousness, she ced her hands on the bed and silently crawled in under the quilt. Feng Zi''s leg suddenly moved making her pause her actions while holding her breath in fear that Feng Zi would wake up. She only managed to release her breath after the man stopped moving. All she had to do wasy down beside him for the entire night and have him take responsibility. Nothing could go wrong with this n, right?


    Wen Qinxi woke upter than usual. He would have slept even longer if weren''t for the irritating fruity smell that was right by his nose. His mind was sluggish for a moment feeling some weight and warmth on his body. In a daze, he half opened his eyes about to reprimand Qie Ranzhe for changing shampoos when he saw a head full of long hair resting on his chest.


    ''Fuck!'' he swore internally wondering how hended in such a situation.


    ''Well, she snuck in while you were asleep. I think this is what they call a honeytrap,'' said Jolie who had shown its appearance in a long time. It was truly a hard life hiding away from a psycho. It couldn''t shake the feeling that it was being watched so could only say a few words before vanishing into thin air.


    ''Nah... honeytrap is for getting information out of someone. This must be, um.... wait, what the fuck! Who cares what type of scheme this is?'' he said pushing the sleeping goddess away.


    "Shit! Nu Shen what do you think you are doing?" yelled Wen Qinxi as the beautiful woman rolled off the bed onto the floor. The shock ended up making him a little heavy-handed just now but who would me him? This woman had balls.


    Wen Qinxi took a whiff of his clothes and grimaced at the smell of perfume. Was this woman courting death? Did she not know who she was screwing with? If Qie Ranzhe was to walk in right now, he couldn''t guarantee his safety let alone Nu Shen''s.


    "Aaahhhhh!" screamed a terrified Nu Shen having being pushed off the bed crushing t on her butt. Her half-lidded eyes reddened with a pitiful expression all over her face. She climbed back up on the bed with an appearance that can incite any man''s protective instincts except for Wen Qinxi. This hot potato was ruining a good thing.


    "Zi-ge, why are you refusing me? What, what does Qie Ranzhe have that I don''t?..... What so good about being with a man?" she wiped away her tears as a bunch of questions escaped her lips. She needed answers. She was promised a husband but didn''t even get to see his face before he was robbed by others.


    Wen Qinxi could understand why she wanted to be with him despite having never met him before. This was all Feng Yu''s fault. He had cultivated her into the perfect daughter inw without even asking for Feng Zi''s opinion. Anyway, there is no point in ming a mad man. "Listen carefully Nu Shen. I will only say it once... I love Qie Ranzhe and it will remain so in this lifetime and the next so stop embarrassing yourself like this and move on. If you dare do this shit again, I won''t hold back. Now get out!"


    ''Love.... he, he loves, he loves that man? No, no, no,'' she thought with her body shivering in disbelief. The atmosphere in the room changed in an instant giving Wen Qinxi an ominous feeling. Something big was about to go down.


    ''Boss, I think you should run,'' said Jolie at the edge of its seat enjoying the good show.

 Chapter 265: Third World: Biting Each Other In Public

    Chapter 265: Third World: Biting Each Other In Public


    Wen Qinxi also wanted to run but how could this woman ever let him go? Nu Shen suddenly took off the pendant around her neck with tears streaming down her pink cheeks.


    Having let go of the only thing that was keeping her sane, she transformed into a python three meters in length and slithered towards Feng Zi.


    Wen Qinxi''s greatest fear was pain followed by, you guessed it, snakes. Thest time Nu Shen transformed she was fighting with Zhao Huangzhi and Qie Guaiwu so he wasn''t that scared then. Besides, Qie Ranzhe was around but now he was faced with a python head-on. "Fuck! Nu Shen, you are so fuckin crazy!" yelled Wen Qinxi dodging the slithering creatureing after him. Nu Shen who had missed her target, couldn''t pump her breaks fast enough running straight into the wall. She didn''t want to kill him, she just wanted to mark him with her fangs. That mark would never heal which means Qie Ranzhe would no longer be interested in a man marked by a serpent.


    Wen Qinxi reached the door and tried to open it but it was locked. Sweating all over, he scanned the room only to find a key shimmering from under the bed. Seeing that Nu Shen was still trying to get up, Wen Qinxi slid under the bed to grab the key but his leg was suddenly wrapped by something cold coiling around his leg. "Fuck!" swore Wen Qinxi before he was dragged from under the bed like in a horror movie. He was so mortified that he left scuff marks on the floor with his nails. He was trying to activate his psycho setting, the setting he loathes so much but because of his current circumstance, he desperately needed it. The unfortunate thing is that when you don''t need it, it shows up but when you do need it, it takes so long as though it took a vacation to Mars.


    Wen Qinxi wanted to fend her off but Nu Shen was too fast. She wrapped her slithering body around Feng Zi till he could barely move. Her snake tongue slithered out of her mouth and licked the man''s cheeks as though soothing him but unfortunately it had the opposite effect.


    Wen Qinxi felt his body turn ice cold in fright but he still spoke in a threatening tone. Once the psycho within him gets activated, he might actually kill her. If she dies will Feng Yu still give him the crystal?


    "Nu Shen! Let me go otherwise don''t me meter."


    Nu Shen seemed to find it amusing and treated his words like empty threats as she opened up her mouth exposing her fangs. Wen Qinxi got goosebumps all over his body vowing to make Qie Ranzhepensate him for this. Even watching a video of a snake makes him bury his face into a cushion in terror. The one time Wen Danzhe threw a fake snake on his bed while he was sleeping, Wen Qinxi ran out of the house in his boxer shorts during the middle of a snowstorm and refused toe back home for an entire week. Now for the sake of saving his boss, he was being molested by a python.


    After being licked, Wen Qinxi lost it as the setting finally set in. He head-butted Nu Shen with no hesitation causing the python to back up in pain. Angered to death, Wen Qinxi grabbed Nu Shen and mmed her entire body to the floor three times. His once dazzling eyes had lost their warmth reced by devilish eyes sending ice shards towards Nu Shen.


    This is when Nu Shen realised the w in her n. She should have listened to Feng Yu when he warned her not to push Feng Zi too far. As the hand around her neck tightened she transformed back to her human form and tried to remove Feng Zi''s hand that was strangling her. But how could Feng Zi let her go? He had already warned her but the woman didn''t appreciate his kindness and dared to proceed with her ns.


    Her face turned blue as she flung her legs struggling to set herself free but the harder she tried the more strength she lost. She couldn''t believe it, Feng Zi was going to kill her. A tear escaped from the corner of her eye begging Feng Zi to let her off but Wen Qinxi was already out of his mind squeezing hard with an eerie smile.


    Lucky for her, Qie Ranzhe was throwing a fit looking for Feng Zi. He had woken up locked up in a storage closet with his lover nowhere to be found. This was the beginning of a PK battle between him and the barricaded door. Of course, the door lost with Qie Ranzhe breaking it down with ease. Feng Yu scolded himself for cheapening out on the doors when he heard that Qie Ranzhe had escaped.


    Qie Ranzhe would have continued running around aimlessly like a headless chicken if it weren''t for Airen who dly showed him the way. He was anxious to see Feng Zi but didn''t expect to see such a scene. Feng Zi was on top of Nu Shen whose dress was riding up her thighs. No matter how much he trusted Feng Zi, this image was incredibly suggestive so he yelled, "Are you done?" in a stone-cold voice that sent a chill up Wen Qinxi''s spine.


    Wen Qinxi immediately let her go and stood up to exin himself but he didn''t have to because Nu Shen began to wheeze and cough struggling to regte her breathing. It was then that Qie Ranzhe realised what was going on. He wanted to tell him to carry on but it was already toote so he grasped his lover''s wrist and dragged him out of the room. Why did he do this? It was because he was afraid Nu Shen''s provocative body would attract his lover despite knowing that he had just caught Feng Zi trying to kill her.


    Wen Qinxi didn''t know what to say so he obediently followed behind Qie Ranzhe wondering what kind of fate awaited him. He couldn''t help but worry because he hated misunderstandings the most. He wasn''t the kind to enjoy dog blood drama in series let alone in his life. Just as they turned the corner, Qie Ranzhe grabbed Feng Zi on either side of his shoulder and pinned him against the wall.


    Before he could regain hisposure, Wen Qinxi was suddenly kissed. Not the sweet gentle kind but the savage possessive kind that would leave one breathless. He enthusiastically weed the invasion thinking how incredibly sexy this was. He so wished to do this in the real world right in Qie Ranzhe''s office. Wouldn''t that be kinky?


    Excited beyondprehension, Wen Qinxi grasped the back of Qie Ranzhe''s neck and deepened the kiss with his tongue finding its way into the general''s mouth summing up a tingly sensation that is highly addictive. Qie Ranzhe grabbed Feng Zi''s waist and drew him closer with a groan escaping his throat. With their bodies stered together, the temperature became hotter than usual. But just as things were getting good, a bucket of cold water was poured on the steamy moment with one sentence.


    "You two are biting each other again? Why can''t you stop fighting and just get along?" said a cute voice that could onlye from one person.


    Feng Xieling

 Chapter 266: Third World: Cats Out Of The Bag

    Chapter 266: Third World: Cat''s Out Of The Bag


    Feng Yu who had lived for more than forty years of age finally knew the meaning of a stitch in time saves nine. If only he had dealt with the problem from the beginning instead of sweeping it under the rug there would have been a more favourable oue. One loose thread caused the carpet to unravel in an instant. How the man found himself in this situation all began with Nu Shen.


    Earlier on when Nu Shen said she wanted to convince Feng Zi, this old fashioned man thought it meant cooking for him or something. That''s how he got his beautiful wife. If it weren''t for that, would a beautiful Pheonix get together with a meerkat? The chances of that happening would be next to zero. He didn''t think she meant crawling into his bed and even attempting to mark him to disgust Qie Ranzhe which would ultimately lead them to break up.


    He was astounded by the youngsters'' courtship skills these days. So aggressive. Ten minutester Feng Zi budged into his study room throwing a temper tantrum like a toddler. Even the kid next to him was standing there with a dumbfounded expression. It seemed he had never seen his dad that angry or didn''t think Feng Zi could get angry.


    Wen Qinxi was even angrier when he realised Feng Yu wasn''t fazed at the thought of having his study destroyed. What he did notice though was that the man''s line of sight kept falling in the direction of the bookshelf, constantly. A malicious grin crept up his face figuring there was something on the bookshelf that Feng Yu valued more than his study. He was indeed right, Feng Yu appeared nervous the closer he got.


    "I just need you to tell me where the crystal is, everything else doesn''t matter," said Wen Qinxi with his fingers slowly tracing the bookshelf touching things while observing Feng Yu''s micro-expressions. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of a grey box and the closer he got to it, the more nerve wrecked Feng Yu became. As soon as he grabbed hold of it intending to smash it to the ground, Feng Yu reached out and embraced his son whispering, "Don''t break it,..... I will, I will tell you." This was his wife''s ashes so how could he let his son destroy them.


    Wen Qinxi could feel the man quivering while tightening his hug which was full of warmth and tenderness. Feng Yu almost broke into tears embracing this son that he let down. Wen Qinxi''s heart softened and put down the box while patting the older man''s back. There was no need for him to be this emotional but it seemed him being emotional was the only way he would spill his guts andy all his cards on the table.


    After letting go of Feng Zi he said, "Did he hurt you?" inspecting his family''s cabbage carefully, "that brute burnt your beautiful lush feathers. You ass-....mm, mmm." The unrestraint Feng Yu was about to utter a curse word when Feng Zi decisively covered the man''s mouth with his hand. Wen Qinxi was afraid Feng Xieling would run around cursing after this.


    But Feng Xieling wasn''t paying attention, his attention was on Feng Yu who seemed so familiar but he couldn''t remember where they had met before.


    Feng Yu understood and freed his lips before carrying on, "You defend him but he, he....vah, whatever." Still enrage, Feng Yu poured himself an entire ss of whiskey and took a few gulps before carrying on. "He not only burnt your feathers, shot you but he also got you..... pregnant or whatever its equivalent," said Feng Yu unable to hold back all those repressed feelings he was harbouring within.


    Wen Qinxi almostughed out loud thinking how absurd that was. Yes, in the second world he could fall pregnant. He was an omega after all. It was a mystery how Qie Ranzhe managed to bring over Feng Xieling to this world but the human anatomy in this world was set. How could Feng Zi have birthed a child? Ridiculous, that was the best word to describe it.


    Seeing Feng Zi''s disbelieving face, Qie Ranzhe had to say something. He had never shown Feng Zi the DNA test because Feng Zi had already epted Feng Xieling as his son so he didn''t see the need. "I don''t know about getting you pregnant but he does have both our DNA," said Qie Ranzhe pointing at Feng Xieling who was squinting his eyes staring at Feng Yu.


    Wen Qinxi raised a brow thinking, ''Uh, so it''s that kind of situation? Did he.... fuck no!'' That is to say, Wen Qinxi got extremely jealous assuming that Qie Ranzhe slept with Feng Zi before he took over this character. ''Such a g man,'' he thought ring at Qie Ranzhe who felt a sudden chill spread all over his body. He couldn''t figure what he said to anger his baobei. Qie Ranzhe was about to walk over and coax his lover when both their attention was drawn by Feng Xieling yelling, "Old Man Yu!"


    ''Shit!'' thought Feng Yu rubbing his forehead with a pensive expression. Feng Xieling even walked over and stared at Feng Yu with his head tilted to the side like a curious puppy. This was Old Man Yu though he looked older back then, it was definitely him. "Devils spawn, what nonsense are you sprouting?" whispered Feng Yu trying to get rid of the kid but it sold him out.


    Though he had just been insulted Feng Xieling felt a sense of familiarity. Old Man Yu used toe over to the orphanage and give them candy. What made him memorable was that he sneakily gave him twice the amount while calling him devil''s spawn. But once he got adopted he never saw Old Man Yu ever again.


    "It''s you, Old Man Yu," said the excited Feng Xieling. He immediately stretched out his open palm gesturing to the man to give him something.

 Chapter 267: Third World: Candy Con Artist

    Chapter 267: Third World: Candy Con Artist


    Feng Yu''s brows creased wondering what this kid wanted but his face changed to a look of surprise. This little con artist was already trying to shake him like a mulberry tree for candy. "You little scam artist you must be kidding me,"ined Feng Yu but Feng Xieling wouldn''t budge patiently waiting for him with a raised brow. Having lost to a kid, Feng Yu opened his desk draw and gave Feng Xieling one.


    Having seen an entire draw of candy and looking down at the single one handed to him by Feng Yu, Feng Xieling furrowed his brow in dissatisfaction. This standoff would have carried on if it weren''t for Wen Qinxi''s interruption. "Wait, wait, wait, you know Lin Lin?"


    Feng Yu who had an expression like that of a person caught with his pants down sent out Feng Xieling after much convincing and being scammed out of an entire packet of butterscotch candy. It''s a good thing Feng Zi confiscated the packet before Fang Xieling walked out otherwise they would have to deal with another episode of ''The sh'' starring Lin Lin.


    After reinforcing himself, Feng Yu finally spilt all the beans. It turns out the day Feng Zi got the codes and stole the security card from President Qie''s office, something happened between the two. After picking up his son, Feng Yu went straight for the crystal. He had intended to ckmail President Qie and make the entire nation pay for the loss of the love of his life but who knew his n would backfire.


    His curious kid poked the crystal while his father was busy scamming president Qie out of billions. Once that happened it was game over for this teenager. His body immediately absorbed the crystal in its entirety before he passed out. After a month of unconsciousness, Feng Zi''s belly started growing to the point that it was visible under his clothes. Feng Yu who had been running around trying to save his son discovered a new problem.


    Thinking it was a tumour or maybe the crystal trying to burst out off his son''s body, Feng Yu ran an ultrasound on Feng Zi''s tummy. The sturdy man almost fell over in shock when he saw this tiny bean swimming in there like a tadpole. He wanted to ask Feng Zi what happened between him and Qie Ranzhe but how could he ask him when he was in aa.


    He assumed that Feng Zi had some of Qie Ranzhe''s DNA on him and once his son absorbed the crystal an expontaneous reaction urred and boom! He was now a grandpa. Ridden with guilt for having driven his baby straight into the wolf''s den, he let the embryo grow and nned to get rid of it afterwards. With that in mind, Feng Yu kept Feng Zi unconscious and found an orphanage across the continent. That way Feng Zi would never find out.


    When Feng Zi woke up, his father was gone with only Airen and a criminal empire by his side. The funny thing was Feng Zi''s mansion resembled a rainforest while the rest of the world was turning into a desert at a fast pace. Because Feng Yu had a soft spot for Qie Xieling, he visited a couple of times that is until the kid got adopted.


    Wen Qinxi was overwhelmed by the information but what drew his attention more was the fact that the crystal was a part of him so how was he supposed to help Qie Ranzhe pass this world when it was inside of him. "Now you understand why I can''t give you your crystal. It''s because I don''t have it.... It''s gone," said Feng Yu feeling helpless.


    This bombardment of information cast a grey shadow over Wen Qinxi who hadn''t expected this turn of events. For the entirety of the day, he was distracted wondering how he was going to solve this. He wanted to ask the system if it had any ideas but Jolie was still ying hide and seek with Qie Ranzheplicating things. He didn''t get the chance to part with Qie Ranzhe and talk to Jolie because the General was clinging to him like he was afraid he would disappear at a moments notice.


    Wen Qinxi only managed to get some breathing space when he convinced Qie Ranzhe to prepare Feng Xieling for bed. Since he only had approximately thirty minutes he urged the system toe out in an almost coaxing manner which took five minutes in total. He would have asked Xia Bai and Hei Bao but he still couldn''tmunicate with the outside world. It seemed CEO Qie intended to trap him in this game for the rest of his life.


    "How am I supposed to help him when the fuckin crystal is inside me? Should I cut myself in half to take it out or something?" asked a frustrated Wen Qinxi. He had scratched his head for the entire day and the best n he coulde up with, was cutting himself in half.


    The system finally spoke after being silent for half a day saying, "I think you should talk to Feng Yu about that. That man is hiding something... He has a solution that is why he''s been hiding from Feng Zi."


    Wen Qinxi nodded his head in agreement. Feng Yu was the mad scientist who came up with the method of using the crystal to maintain the earth''s atmosphere so how can he not know of a method to get it out of Feng Zi''s body. "You''re right. I will go see him now.... oh, by the way, have those two idiots figured out how to restoremunication channels?" he asked before exiting the room to look for Feng Yu.


    ''Nope, they are not you, boss so how could they figure it out so easily,'' said the system buttering up Wen Qinxi as though seeking leniency for ditching its creator. Who could me it when it''s boss''s boyfriend was terrifying?


    Wen Qinxi couldn''t help but chuckle at its words. This system knew how to tter people when it needed to. ''You have learnt to tter people now? Good..... you will need it when you are a smart toilet AI,'' replied Wen Qinxi walking down the corridor before entering Feng Yu''s office.

    Chapter 268: Third World: Martyr and Sacrifice


    Jolie, "...."


    God knows how badly it wanted to lift a middle finger at Wen Qinxi but it couldn''t.


    When Wen Qinxi entered the room, Feng Yu was feeding his goldfish that was happily swimming in the fish tank. When his son entered the room, Feng Yu already knew who it was so he didn''t turn around but broke the ice instead. "You love him that much?" was the question this father asked his estranged son.


    Wen Qinxi didn''t respond immediately and ambled over to the liquor decanter. He deliberately opened a 60-year-old bottle of whiskey in the disy case to Feng Yu''s horror. "You!..." said the speechless man with purple veins protruding on the side of his neck in anger. That was a rare find and this kid just opened it like it was nothing. "Hahaha..... I see what you trying to do..... you are trying to anger me to death," said Feng Yu in nervousughter.


    Wen Qinxi ced a ss on Feng Yu''s desk and slummed right into the man''sfortable office chair before putting his legs up on Feng Yu''s desk like a proper hooligan.


    Feng Yu didn''t lose his temper, on the contrary, he was happy to finally have a conversation with his son so he sat on the office couch with the ss in hand. The two men took a sip of the whiskey and their faces immediately scrunched up simultaneously, seeming dissatisfied. "What the fuck is this?... Who had the balls to scam you," said Wen Qinxi after swallowing the bitter liquid that tasted nothing like 60-year-old whiskey.


    Feng Yu''s face darkened with his eyes resembling that of a viper that had just got its tail stepped on. This kind of face resembled a psycho in berserk mode. "I am going to kill him..... I am going to kill Banhen," said Feng Yu mming the ss on the table.


    Wen Qinxiughed while taking his feet off the desk before leaning in while staring at Feng Yu. "I already killed him so no need to trouble yourself." He did kill Banhen when they kidnapped him to ckmail Feng Yu.


    "You did but when I meant to kill, I meant wiping out his entire n. Tsk, that capybara had balls," said Feng Yu while rubbing his lips with his thumb as though thinking of something, "You didn''t answer my question."


    Wen Qinxi heaved a deep sigh and leaned back into his chair. "Yes, I love him that much... hope that''s not a problem," before taking another sip of the counterfeit liquor.


    Feng Yu observed him for a while before speaking out of his heart, "I don''t have a problem with you liking men but why does it have to be Qie Ranzhe?.... You can co-parent, there is nothing wrong with that. I say this not to oppose you, hell I don''t have the balls to stop you but water and oil don''t mix... this thing, this thing won''t end well," with their gazes locked.


    Wen Qinxi wasn''t upset he could understand what Feng Yu was seeing. To outsiders, it would seem like they had burnt all bridges and their rtionship was based on love and hate but that was after all from an outsider''s perspective. They loved each other and wouldn''t hurt each other. He didn''t want to argue over insignificant things so he went straight to the point.


    "How do I get this thing out of me?"


    Feng Yu''s face turned sickly pale, his expression agape. What did this brat mean by taking it out? Did he even know what he was asking? Feng Yu could give a rat''s ass about the earth. It can die for all he cares. Feng Zi''s mansion was a paradise in itself and with the crystal in his body, it would remain green and lively. He had spent billions building an imprable shield protecting Feng Zi''s mansion so no one could ever invade his son''s territory.


    As for his life, he didn''t care. At least he could join his wife in Valha but his son had to live. There was nothing wrong with his n so why did his son want to take out the crystal?


    "Do you know what you are asking?" asked Feng Yu his eyes reddening from all the suppressed emotions, "Such an inconsiderate bastard!"


    Wen Qinxi furrowed his brows in confusion. How was he being an inconsiderate bastard? "I did all this for you, to keep you alive but you trample on it and break my heart. There is only one fuckin way you are taking that thing out of you!... Damnit!" yelled Feng Yu before mming the table with a loud bang!


    The enraged man paced up and down the room in a frenzy while rubbing his forehead. He was trying to hold back the urge to lock up his son. "Who the fuck are you trying to be a martyr for? My family has already sacrificed enough. That bastard Qie and that pig Zhao used us but turned around and abandoned us when your mother fell ill.... No, no, no, I have sacrificed enough. My wife died for this stupid and I won''t let you do too," said Feng Yu at the brink of losing his mind.


    Wen Qinxi kept hearing the word martyr and sacrifice echoing in his mind so he asked to rify further. "So what? To get it out I have to be cut to pieces?"


    Hearing his son say this, Feng Yu stopped pacing and ced both his hands on the desk saying, "No..... they ce you directly into the device and let the machine suck the essence from that crystal inside your body. That''s equivalent to you being burnt alive...do you understand?"


    Wen Qinxi felt his heart sink at the pit of his stomach as Feng Yu''s words reyed in his mind. ''What the fuck!''


    "Just take Qie Ranzhe and Lin Lin back to the mansion and let time run its course.... it''s not worth it, it''s not worth it," said Feng Yu but Wen Qinxi wasn''t listening digesting this revtion.


    While the two were conversing, Nu Shen who had been hiding in her room this entire time, came over to speak to Feng Yu. Who would have expected her to eavesdrop on such a conversation? This world was dying and Feng Yu had prepared a paradise for Feng Zi and her but because she had been kicked out of her seat by Qie Ranzhe she wasn''t qualified to enter this paradise.


    Her droopy face turned malicious as a devious n came to mind. She might not have Feng Zi''s love but she could make the two lovers pay for breaking her heart. Not only that but with Feng Zi gone she can officially im that mansion. Love is great and all but it can never surpass survival. She disappeared as quickly as she came not even realizing the w in her n as she only eavesdropped on part of the conversation.

    Chapter 269: Third World: Sexercise (NSFW)


    Feng Yu''s words sparked chaos in Wen Qinxi''s mind. He knew he had to do this to pass the world, a grand step towards the ultimate goal but he had to die. Caught between a rock and a hard ce, Wen Qinxi found himself in Feng Xieling''s room. He knew Qie Ranzhe would probably be waiting for him in their room but he had to see Feng Xieling first.


    He wasn''t too sure what his next step would be but he was certain of one thing. He had to see Feng Xieling, an existence that he might never see again. Standing outside the wooden door to Feng Xieling''s room, Wen Qinxi took some time to regain hisposure, sucking back the tears right at the rim of his eyes. When he decided to help Qie Ranzhe out of the game he didn''t foresee such an emotional rollercoaster which was a foreign experience to him. He surely hoped his nerdy brain would be okay after this.


    After restoring normalcy he reached out to push the door open with his heart in turmoil. As soon as he saw Feng Xieling quietly sitting in bed with a stern expression while flipping through a picture book, his heart settled with a genuine smile creeping up his face.


    Feng Xieling was so immersed in his book that he didn''t even notice someone walk in. It was when he felt the weight of the bed shift did he notice his dad lying next to him. Wen Qinxi got into the quilt as well and embraced Feng Xieling while looking at the content that had this kid captivated. "What are you doing?" asked Wen Qinxi while ying with Feng Xieling''s stray strands covering the boy''s forehead.


    Feng Xieling looked up with a crease on his forehead looking puzzled and said, "What''s this word?" pointing at the big letter near a big green dragon.


    Wen Qinxi held the other end of the book and asked, "Would you like me to read to you?" Feng Xieling nodded his head in agreement and ensconced himself in his dad''s arms, his ears ready to listen. He liked how his dad read stories, it was both dramatic and entertaining. He liked it very much.


    Wen Qinxi began to dramatize the tell of the big lonely dragon and the knight. The room was soon filled with kid''sughter, innocent and pure, followed by an adult constantly changing his voice to suit the character. This harmonious scene was too precious to disturb so Qie Ranzhe who had been looking for his runaway boyfriend, stood by the door listening in. He couldn''t hold back a smile wishing time could just freeze at this moment.


    He had made up his mind to submit his resignation from the army, even if his resignation was rejected he nned on going AWOL and spend the rest of his life with his lover and his son. That''s all that mattered to him. He would protect them with his life and no one, not even his father would be spared if he daredy a finger on Feng Zi. The crystal was gone, it was time people prepared themselves for the inevitable because there was no way he was letting go of Feng Zi. Feng Zi belongs to him and him alone, no one is allowed to harm a single hair on his head not even Feng Zi himself.


    Qie Ranzhe only opened the door when the sounds in the room died down. Feng Zi was lying on his back with Feng Xieling sleeping in his embrace like a cute fluff ball. Wen Qinxi followed the sound of the door opening and saw Qie Ranzhe standing by the door like a statue. He gestured to Qie Ranzhe to be silent and slowly removed Feng Xieling''s hand that was clutching on his shirt.


    Having sessfully got off the bed without waking up the little ancestor, Wen Qinxi tucked him in before tiptoeing out of the room. He took onest look at the dim-lit room, with a colourful night light offering a sense of security, before closing the door. As soon as he closed the door, Qie Ranzhe pounced on him with their lips engaging in blush-inducing entanglement.


    Wen Qinxi could feel the sense of insecurity and possessiveness in that hot and heavy kiss.


    The beautiful sweetness apanied with it was highly addictive that Wen Qinxi couldn''t help but chase after Qie Ranzhe''s tongue with his body gradually heating up. Qie Ranzhe seemed pleased with this provocative action and fully indulged in his primal desires. Their tongues entangled in a sensual dance igniting a sweet yearning that couldn''t be satiated by simple means.


    Wen Qinxi''s lips were licked and sucked ever so sweetly causing his body to shudder in pleasure. Qie Ranzhe''s unruly hands slid down grasping Feng Zi''s waist from underneath the shirt. Wen Qinxi moaned as the man drew his body close and couldn''t help but wrap his arms around Qie Ranzhe''s neck.


    Qie Ranzhe lifted Feng Zi''s legs and let them wound around his waist with his arousal poking at Feng Zi''s ass through the fabric. The strong general who had gone through countless battles could easily carry his lover without parting their lips. The scorching lips engaged in a frantic frenzy to the point of suffocation. In a few strides, Wen Qinxi was stered against the wall in their bedroom unbuttoning Qie Ranzhe''s shirt.


    His vow was tossed out the window as he enthusiastically took off his lover''s clothes. With all their clothes peeled off the two stood naked fondling each other. Qie Ranzhe turned Feng Zi around to face the wall. Qie Ranzhe kissed and sucked Feng Zi''s sensitive back making him shudder as lewd groans escaped his throat. Like a starving beast, Qie Ranzhe devoured his lover living new hickeys on top of the old ones. The heat spread to Wen Qinxi''s weak legs making them soft but Qie Ranzhe had his strong arm wrapped around his slender waist holding him in ce.


    Qie Ranzhe''s overindulgence towards Feng Zi was apparent as he pampered his lover caressing the plump beads on Feng Zi''s chest in turns. Wen Qinxi felt a numbing sensation being teased like this. Unable to hold back, he groaned begging for more. Qie Ranzhe obliged him while teasing that enticing neck that was pink from arousal.


    His touch gave rise to the inevitable. Wen Qinxi''s joystick was throbbing to the point of being painful. He desperately wanted it taken care of but couldn''t do it himself because this vinegar jar wouldn''t let him. If he had to feel pleasure it all had to be because of Qie Ranzhe, that was the unspoken rule. Wen Qinxi was itching to be fucked but Qie Ranzhe seemed to enjoy toying with him first.

    Chapter 270: Third World: Sexercise 2 (NSFW)


    It was only after his back and neck were covered in red poker dots did Qie Ranzhe slowly caressed the man''s skin all the way down to his instrument. Qie Ranzhe grabbed hold of Feng Zi''s stiff member and stroked it a couple of times as thin fluid leaked out into Qie Ranzhe''s arm. Wen Qinxi''s throat went dry his mind going nk as his entire body tingling in excitement.


    Unable to hold back any longer, Qie Ranzhe took out a bottle of whatever was left of the watermelon lubricant and squeezed it on Feng Zi''s perky ass. His fingers slid in the warm ce one after the other making the man cry out in pleasure. "Ah..... Ran-ge just like that... ah," while pushing against Qie Ranzhe''s fingers. There was a sense of urgency in Qie Ranzhe so he didn''t take long opening up his lover''s tight hole.


    Once Feng Zi was ready to receive his arousal, Qie Ranzhe didn''t hold back thrusting inside him ready to conquer his territory once more.


    Wen Qinxi felt a searing pain, like his body was being torn in half making him unconsciously move away from him, trying to run but Qie Ranzhe licked his ear and said, "Endure it for now, baby, so you can feel good." Qie Ranzhe held Feng Zi in ce holding either side of his waist.


    As promised, the pain subsided reced by a wonderful pleasurable feeling due to the constant friction from his sweet spot. Wen Qinxi had to admit, Qie Ranzhe knew his body like the back of his hand. Lewd sounds of skin rubbing against skin flooded the room with asional groans of pleasure.


    Wen Qinxi pressed his palms against the wall eagerly taking in Qie Ranzhe''s thrusts like a greedy pig that couldn''t be satiated. His entire face grew hot with a numbing feeling as he concentrated on that sweet sensation from his sensitive spot being rubbed against. Without warning his entire body convulsed sinking deep in immense pleasure as he moaned uncontrobly, "Ah, ah..... fuck!"


    After his lover climaxed, an erotic scene only he had the privilege to see, Qie Ranzhe couldn''t help it thrusting deeper into Feng Zi''s body with an urge to fill him up with cum. He turned his lover around, picked him up and pressed the man''s body against the wall before thrusting inside once more. Wen Qinxi''s resting member shamelessly woke up again ready to y and Qie Ranzhe was set on ying to his heart''s content. He thrust into Feng Zi like a raving beast with gruff groans escaping his throat. The taste of Feng Zi was so intoxicating that the general couldn''t help butment, "Baby you taste so fuckin good... Ah, shit!" as he plunged into him with no restraint.


    Wen Qinxi felt a wave of numbness and sunk his teeth in Qie Ranzhe''s shoulder as an enjoyable familiar wave intensified leading to a predetermined destination.


    Qie Ranzhe kissed Feng Zi''s lips as the man in his arms convulsed once more reaching his second climax. With drips of sweatcing his forehead, Qie Ranzhe let go of his lover''s lips and whispered, "let''s not overdo it tonight." Wen Qinxi naturally agreed otherwise he would have to stay here longer than he should unable to get out of bed.


    In tacit understanding, Qie Ranzhe thrust into his lover a little more before groaning like a wild beast as a warm liquid shot inside Feng Zi. The two men breathed heavily leaning against each other after an exciting round of sexercise.


    Devoid of all strength, Wen Qinxiy limp allowing his sweetheart to clean him up and dry his hair withoutint. The sweet side effects of lovemaking wore off bringing back his previous worries. As hey in Qie Ranzhe''s embrace, he contemted whether to disclose his conversation with Feng Yu or not.


    If he told him, he knew Qie Ranzhe will not agree to it but they had to pass this world. This was an illusion created by Qie Ranzhe''s brain. What kind of life could the two of them have living in a game for the rest of their lives? He didn''t want to hurt Qie Ranzhe but it had to be done.


    Noticing his lover''s somewhat out of sort appearance, Qie Ranzhe asked, "Wasn''t it satisfying?... I can feed you again if you''re still hungry," in a half-joking manner. He was most willing to have another round if his baobei was yearning for more.


    Wen Qinxi raised his head till their eyes met and said, "I am satisfied. It felt good so don''t worry."


    A glint of disappointment shed in Qie Ranzhe''s eyes for a split second before it disappeared. He held Feng Zi in an even tighter embrace and said, "Tell me what''s on your mind. You know I have your back," while stroking the man''s red hair.


    Wen Qinxi obviously couldn''t disclose his true thoughts so he said, "I am thinking we should do it in your office next time."


    Qie Ranzhe chuckled with the vibrations from hisughter transmitting into Wen Qinxi''s skin easing his worries. He teased Wen Qinxi''s back with his fingers and said, "I haven''t been to headquarters in a while and it''s safe to say I don''t have an office. How about on the hood of my car in the middle of the desert? Kinky enough?"


    Wen Qinxi almostughed out loud. Who wants to be drilled on a hot car hood with his body exposed to the sun like a salted fish. "Pass..... not interested."


    Qie Ranzheughed once more feeling like this was the happiest moment of his entire life. He held Feng Zi''s hand with their fingersced together and whispered, "I will fuck you anywhere you like as long as you stay with me."


    Wen Qinxi felt a warm spring bursting inside his chest as he reached out delivering a light kiss on his lover soft lips. Not long after, he fell asleep thinking, ''If you will have me in the real world, I will stay with you.'' Qie Ranzhe silently watched his boyfriend fall asleep in his arms.


    As soon as the man in his arms fell into a deep sleep, Qie Ranzhe caressed the man''s swollen lips and said, "You belong to me so you aren''t allowed to leave," with a glint of obsession in his eyes. He seemed out of it, his body surrounded with an oppressive aura that even Wen Qinxi could feel in his sleep. Wen Qinxi subconsciously tried to move away in his sleep but how could Qie Ranzhe let him escape. Qie Ranzhe held him in his tight embrace and kissed the sleeping man''s forehead before falling asleep.

 Chapter 271: Third World: Mansion undersiege

    Chapter 271: Third World: Mansion undersiege


    As the golden rays shone through the vents and gaps in the thick curtains at the break of dawn, a loud bang followed by an intense earth tremor woke the two lovers with a start. Wen Qinxi had been dreaming of his boss confessing to him in front of the entire GameX staff, which equalled dreaming of rainbows and unicorns when his pink bubble was suddenly burst.


    Pissed off, Wen Qinxi rubbed his eyes about to ask Qie Ranzhe what it could be when the man kissed his lips before saying, "It''s an M310 rocketuncher. It''s President Qie, he''s here." Qie Ranzhe immediately got off the bed and got dressed.


    Wen Qinxi''s face turned pale realising what this was. Someone had spilled the beans and now they were definitelying after him. "Shit, shit, shit...I will get Feng Xieling out of here," said an anxious Wen Qinxi getting dressed at light speed. He picked up his straight cut denim jeans that had been tossed on the floorst night. Like a bunny, he hopped around trying to wiggle into the jeans that seemed to shrink each time he took them off. While hopping around, another earth tremor followed causing the bed to shake as the crystal bedsidemp shattered to pieces. Wen Qinxi wasn''t spared either as he tumbled to the ground cursing. He couldn''t help but sympathize with girls when they''re trying to get into skinny jeans. ''The struggle is fuckin real,'' he thought as he fell into a warm embrace.


    Qie Ranzhe had managed to catch him before he kissed the floor. To be honest, the CEO would be incredibly jealous if his lover smooched the floor so he had to catch him. Wen Qinxi was helped up by Qie Ranzhe, his eyes sparkling with tender feelings. In that moment, Wen Qinxi was wondering how he could be this lucky? Qie Ranzhe stooped low facing Feng Zi''s crotch and fastened the button with his fingers identally or purposefully brushing against Feng Zi''s waist.


    Wen Qinxi who had just been taken advantage of, shuddered at his touch as a flush crept up his face. This man was just too much. Qie Ranzhe slowly stood up in front of him and caressed his cheek before leaning down to kiss him once more but Wen Qinxi covered his lips with his hand forming a barricade. ''Dage I haven''t even brushed my teeth yet and we are under attack. This is no time to be spreading dog food everywhere,'' he thought moving backwards to grab his t-shirt.


    Qie Ranzhe understood but it didn''t mean he would concede. He drew Feng Zi closer and nted a fervent kiss that sent sparks flying in all directions. His hand slid at the back of Feng Zi''s neck and deepened the kiss, sucking and nibbling at his lover''s soft pink lips that tasted especially sweet. By the time Qie Ranzhe let him go, Wen Qinxi was breathing heavily in a daze after having the life sucked out of him.


    Qie Ranzhe stared at him with amorous dark eyes and said, "Get Lin Lin out of here. Ask Machu to go with Airen and I will go and talk to Feng Yu." After saying these words, Qie Ranzhe kissed the man''s cheek and strode to the door.


    Wen Qinxi watched the man leave with a nk expression like his IQ was sucked out of him leaving only an empty shell. Suddenly the door was opened once more with Qie Ranzhe''s head sticking into the room saying, "You better wear a t-shirt," with a re that could only be described as a warning before a sweet smile quirked upon his face. After that, the door was shut.


    The absent-minded Wen Qinxi couldn''t get his shit together for a second. It took another earth tremor from another rocket striking the shield surrounding Feng Yu''s mansion to wake him up.


    Calming his beating heart, Wen Qinxi put on his t-shirt and dashed over to Feng Xieling''s room. He was greeted with an unusual scene. Despite all that earth-shaking loud noise, the kid was sleeping like the dead with no care in the world. ''Didn''t he hear the loud noise?'' thought Wen Qinxi while shaking the boy awake.


    Feng Xieling who was suddenly pulled out of candynd, a dreamscape filled with fudge and butterscotch candy, woke up with an aggrieved expression.


    "Sorry, but dad had no choice. You have to go with Airen and Machu somewhere safe," said Wen Qinxi putting a cardigan on Feng Xieling. At the break of dawn, the desert was still cold so he had to wrap his bundle of joy.


    Feng Xieling was wide awake after hearing his dad mention Airen and Machu but not his dads. "No dad, I want to stay with you... let, let me stay with you," whined a frustrated Feng Xieling who couldn''t understand why everyone wouldn''t leave them alone. He just wanted to stay with his dads in peace but it seemed someone or something was always going against them.


    Wen Qinxi didn''t bother listening to Feng Xieling''sints, if anything happened to this child he would lose his mind. He didn''t have time to squabble with the kid over this so he ignored his whining searching for the boy''s shoes. Having found them, he set Feng Xieling on the bed and said, "I need you to listen to dad, okay? If anything happens to you, dad will be heartbroken so I have to keep you safe."


    Feng Xieling didn''t want to go but he had to listen to his dad. He could only cry silently while his dad put on his shoes.


    Wen Qinxi carried the little dumpling with the kid''s bag in his other hand. Just as he was about to look for Airen, she conveniently showed up so Wen Qinxi didn''t hesitate to give Feng Xieling to her. He handed over the bag to Machu and said, "You know what to do," then faced the tear-stained Feng Xieling, "Lin Lin, dad loves you. Be good and not make trouble for Auntie Airen." Wen Qinxi kissed those tear-stained cheeks as the obedient Feng Xieling reluctantly nod his head.


    Arien wiped the little boy''s tears as they walked towards the Mansion''s secret passage that would allow them to slip away without a trace.


    Wen Qinxi felt relieved and walked over to the mansion''s control room. He got there in time to find Qie Ranzhe apologizing to Feng Yu saying, "It must be my SUV that led them here," seeming remorseful.


    Feng Yu who seemed rxed sank deep into his chair and said, "Hahaha... that''s cute. Well, you don''t have to worry about it. It''s definitely not your SUV."

 Chapter 272: Third World: Compensation For A Fathers Sin

    Chapter 272: Third World: Compensation For A Father''s Sin


    Qie Ranzhe furrowed his brow unable to read in between the lines. Sensing his confusion, Feng Yu thought there was no better time to gloat so he said, "I blew it up..... how''s that? You pissed yet?" Feng Yu patiently waited for the general to rage over his beloved SUV but the man didn''t show any kind of reaction. Thinking that seeing his believing he disyed the incriminating evidence on the screen but he was disappointed.


    "What''s going on?" asked Wen Qinxi crossing his arms over his chest while leaning against the doorframe.


    Qie Ranzhe who was unfazed a moment ago changed his expression seeming aggrieved and said, "Your dad blew up my car. Look,'' while embracing Feng Zi looking so heartbroken.


    Feng Yu, "....."


    ''What a fuckin con artist,'' thought Feng Yumending Qie Ranzhe''s acting skills. The general didn''t seem to care about it a minute ago but he was now acting aggrieved to get Feng Zi''s attention.


    "Baby, how will youpensate me?" asked Qie Ranzhe with his head hung low buried in Feng Zi''s neck.


    Before Wen Qinxi could answer, Feng Yu interjected, "You white eyed wolf. Why are you seekingpensation from my son when I blew up your car?"


    Qie Ranzhe looked over and said, "The sins of the father are visited on the son," without even batting an eyelid.


    "You!....." yelled a speechless Feng Yu while angrily pointing at this shameless man.


    Wen Qinxi who had been fooled by his boss brushed Qie Ranzhe''s hair and said, "Don''t worry, I will get you an even better one," trying to appease his man.


    Qie Ranzhe shook his head in refusal. Why would he want a car when he had four more SUVs parked in his garage. Even if he didn''t have standby vehicles he wouldn''t ask for suchpensation. He preferred different kind ofpensation so he whispered in Feng Zi''s ear. Whatever he said had Wen Qinxi''s face crimson while nervously biting his lower lip.


    Satisfied, Qie Ranzhe parted with Feng Zi, grinning like a malicious ghost at a cemetery. Wen Qinxi shook his head in agreement and shyly looked away trying to change the subject.


    Feng Yu was staring at both of them with suspicion. It was a good thing he didn''t know what they said otherwise he would not only be angered to death but vomit blood. What Qie Ranzhe asked for was something children and elderly people shouldn''t hear as their ears would be dirtied. But since there aren''t any children and elderly people here then there is no need to conceal it.


    Qie Ranzhe requested Feng Zi put on a ck and white maid uniform with cute cat ears. Not only that but he should also seduce this boss serving him drinks and cleaning while showing off his long slender legs. ''Ahhhhh, I will fuckin wear anything as long as the night ends with a happy ending.... shit! What am I thinking?'' thought Wen Qinxi not forgetting to chastise himself in the process.


    Feng Yu couldn''t take this anymore so he said, "That''s my son. Don''t, don''t you dare lead him astray."


    "I know, you keep repeating it over and over again but you two don''t bear any resemnce," said Qie Ranzhe firing a grenade at Feng Yu as payback for his fallenrade SUV.


    Feng Yu, who had just been insulted, retorted, "He looks, he looks like my wife, okay?"


    Wen Qinxi facepalmed thinking these two men had already forgotten they were under attack so he said, "Enough you two. How on earth did they find us if it wasn''t Ran-ge''s car?"


    Feng Yu already knew the answer to that question but still couldn''t figure out Nu Shen''s motive. He didn''t conceal it from them and said, "I was about to skin...oh, sorry I meant threaten those two womenst night when Nu Shen said something was wrong with, um.... you." The man was too embarrassed to carry on. In a hurry, he ran over to Feng Zi''s room panicked only to hear sounds that couldn''t be mistaken. That pig of a General was most definitely eating his family''s cabbage. Pissed off, he left and decided to vent his anger on the two witches but by the time he got there, they were gone.


    That''s when he realised something was up with Nu Shen so he fortified their defences and deployed his men to guard the property. He even searched the entire mansion but Nu Shen had vanished alongside Zhao Huangzhi and Qie Guaiwu. A few hourster they were besieged by the full might of the army.


    "Never underestimate the capabilities of a scorned woman," said Wen Qinxi tapping on the table while checking all the surveince cameras. Even though President Qie hadmissioned his best men and weapons, they were no match for Feng Yu''s fortress which is why Feng Yu seemed rxed and worry-free. To him, it was more like a fire drill to perfect his security system.


    Qie Ranzhe wasn''t worried either as he sat in a chair watching the live footage of what was going on outside. "Come here," he said to Feng Zi who was watching the monitors with a stern expression. Wen Qinxi''s thoughts were interrupted hearing Qie Ranzhe calling him over. Like an obedient little pup, he strode over asking, "What?" but Qie Ranzhe didn''t answer gesturing with his hand for Feng Zi toe over.


    As soon as he reached Qie Ranzhe, he was suddenly pulled to sit on the man''sp. Embarrassed, Wen Qinxi struggled but Qie Ranzhe held him in ce with his chin resting on Feng Zi''s shoulder. Feng Yu who had been giving instructions on his walkie talkie was thunderstruck, crispy on the outside, tender on the inside when he saw his grown son sitting on the white-eyed wolf''sp.


    "Shit! Can''t you save this old man some face," heined with his eyes almost going blind from all this dog food.


    Wen Qinxi wanted to get off once more but Qie Ranzhe wrapped both his arms around Feng Zi''s slender waist holding him down while blowing in his ear like a pervert. The nerd always thought a little PDA was good for one''s health but PDA in front of elders was a tad bit disrespectful. This is why he felt like running away but Qie Ranzhe didn''t see things the same way.


    Watching this man who looked like he wanted to eat his son whole, Feng Yu was about to explode when one of his men interrupted. "Sir, we have been breached. Two men were found dead in the mansion. It seems they have infiltrated our defence system," said the panic-stricken man through the walkie talkie.


    Hearing this, Qie Ranzhe had a moment of epiphany. It turns out his father got the ck Cobras involved. This was the only elite team that could infiltrate Feng Yu''s defences which meant that the attack going on outside the shield was serving as a distraction to the real objective.


    Qie Ranzhe pat Feng Zi''s ass telling him to get up and he stood up soon after saying, "Guns..... get us lots of guns because shit is about to get real," while holding Feng Zi''s hand.


    Feng Yu didn''t dally instructing his men to get all the equipment out. The inconspicuous shelf at the corner opened and a retractable shelf from within extended outside disying an entree of weapons in various shapes and sizes shimmering under the luminous white light. "You want guns..... I will give you guns," said Feng Yu removing the safety on a Beretta M9 with a gold frame. If there is anything Feng Yu has in abundance, it would be guns. At least he can support his son in that way.

 Chapter 273: Third World: Flirting While Fighting

    Chapter 273: Third World: Flirting While Fighting


    The huge mansion descended into eerie silence giving off a sense of unease to all its upants. Wen Qinxi stealthily followed Qie Ranzhe down the corridor, not sure what to expect. From what Qie Ranzhe told him earlier, this team was the best in the army. Their methods were both crude and clean to the extreme.


    These were the type of guys the President would call if he wants to start chaos without leaving behind any evidence. Wen Qinxi sincerely hoped the ck Cobras title was in name only otherwise he might die from shock if he sees the king of snakes.


    As expected, these guys were pros. The hall that was once heavily guarded were now empty with nobody in sight. This was their way of hiding their tracks. The one body that was found was probably a trick to draw out Qie Ranzhe and Feng Zi. Their n proved effective as they sessfully smoked the dragon and the phoenix out of hiding. As to why the two lovers permitted it, it was because they knew theirbined strength was on par with the elite team and it was also better to get this over and done with as quickly as possible. They still had a son to protect.


    Qie Ranzhe who was walking ahead of Feng Zi suddenly stopped and gestured for him to keep silent. Wen Qinxi naturally agreed with his heart pumping fast against his chest. This was like ying PUBG in real life with high stakes. It was both exhrating and terrifying which was a great experience for this nerd.


    The general gestured for him to stay put as he turned a corner. Wen Qinxi obediently stayed put as muffled scuffles reached his ears. Once the sound died down, a wave of anxiety swept over him so he curiously took a look and saw one of the masked men being held in a choke hold by Qie Ranzhe as he stabbed repeatedly into the man''s chest. The scene was gory and nauseating that Wen Qinxi couldn''t help but dry heave.


    Because he was distracted by his gastrointestinal tract, a sniper took advantage of this opportunity and aimed at Feng Zi''s head that was partially sticking out at the corner.


    A sharp cracking sound reached Wen Qinxi''s ears so he instinctively moved back in hiding just in time for the bullet to strike the wall chipping off its sharp corner. The notion that he almost got shot angered Wen Qinxi that he couldn''t hold back even if he wanted to. The psycho setting activated making it hard for him to empathize with the enemy.


    Wen Qinxi exposed himself without any hesitation confusing the sniper who was lying in wait. He had heard of Feng Zi''sbat skills but it turns out the man was stupid exposing himself with no restraint. What he didn''t expect was that Feng Zi was faster than him at pulling the trigger. In a split second his skull was cracked open by a swift bullet from a Maxim 9, not even giving the man sufficient time to say hisst words.


    Because of that one shot, their position was exposed as the ck Cobrasmunicated with each other exposing the target''s coordinates. Qie Ranzhe grabbed his lover and hid behind a pir as a trigger happy member emptied an entire magazine. But the assassin''s enthusiasm earned a scolding from his team leader. They needed the target alive but it seemed his men would dly go against orders just to ughter Feng Zi for his crimes.


    Qie Ranzhe was pressing Feng Zi against the wall shielding his body from harm. Though Feng Zi was wearing a bulletproof vest, Qie Ranzhe wasn''t reassured. This man was the apple of his eye. Losing Feng Zi was equal to him losing his own life thus he shielded him with his own body.


    The rain of bullets finally came to an end with a radio message sounding, "Stop shooting! Stop shooting damnit. We need the target alive!" echoing in therge hall.


    ck Cobras were normally disciplined but Feng Zi was just an eyesore that condemned the earth to its doom. Because the reason for keeping Feng Zi alive wasn''t conveyed, these men disregarded the president''s order and turned Feng Zi into a moving target. Trantion, they didn''t intend to leave this mansion without Feng Zi''s corpse.


    Qie Ranzhe leaned down and asked, "Are you okay?" his warm breath enticing Wen Qinxi. This dangerous situation was igniting a passionate fire that had Wen Qinxi''s ears blushing.


    He didn''t respond closing his eyes while immersed in the wonderful sensation. Their bodies which were pressed together turned feverish. With such an ambiguous atmosphere filling the room, one would think they would rip each other''s clothes and do it right then and there. Qie Ranzhe''s hands were sliding down the sides of his lover, his breathing getting shallower with each passing moment.


    Wen Qinxi opened his eyes sensing danger. He pressed his palm against the back of Qie Ranzhe''s neck allowing him to further sink into his neck before firing two sessive shots at a sneaky assassin. With the enemy''s body tumbling to the floor, Qie Ranzhe embraced Feng Zi''s waist and led him away from the pir while firing an urate shot at the maniac who was shooting at them earlier.


    The two managed to escape and found a new hideout to reevaluate their strategy. They were obviously outnumbered but they weren''t the kind of people to drop everything and run. So it was time to deal some damage to the enemy and end this. The pair split in different directions agreeing to meet at the backdoor of the mansion.


    It was as though when they were apart they changed into bloodthirsty beasts ughtering the enemy like livestock with ease. This situation was oddly simr to a girl who eats gracefully in front of their boyfriend but turns into a gluttonous little pig in private. When the pair were together there were so shy about killing but in private they sliced and diced the enemy with no mercy. The smell of blood wafted throughout the mansion turning it into a house of horrors.


    Wen Qinxi beat the ck Cobras at their own game, killing with a creepy smile that had the team leader shudder as he watched the red demon ughter his members from his men''s body cams. It was apparent that regr means wouldn''t suffice to bring down this troublesome big boss so he chose a risky method. The ck Cobras were indeed named this way not in name only. Their members could indeed transform into different kinds of cobras which wasn''t a good thing for Wen Qinxi. His worst fear was about toe true.


    Wen Qinxi was busy putting an assassin in his ce that he didn''t notice a venomous creature slithering above him. The ck serpent watched with interest as its prey sliced its team members. The serpent slowly opened its mouth exposing its long fangs and charcoal ck inner lining. It zeroed in on Feng Zi''s neck and in a swift motion, it struck the enemy with ease before slithering away.

 Chapter 274: Third World: King of Snakes

    Chapter 274: Third World: King of Snakes


    Wen Qinxi who had been struck out of the blue staggered a few steps backwards before turning around to face that yellow belly of a snake that dared strike him before making a break for it. He was terrified of snakes but his psycho setting toughened him up to the point of grabbing the snake''s tail and whacked it hard against the floor.


    The snake couldn''t slither away from this without suffering any losses so it decided to y dead to survive. It could have changed back but its pendant fell off somewhere. Wen Qinxi wanted to whack it once more but his vision turned hazy with his muscles weakening as a state of paralysis kicked in.


    ''Fuck!'' he swore as he whacked the snake on the wall before slowly making his way towards the back door of the mansion. They had agreed to rendezvous in that location but he wasn''t sure if Qie Ranzhe would be there. His steps were so heavy that he felt like he was going to copse at any moment but he had to keep going. He wouldn''t allow himself to pass out without seeing Qie Ranzhe so he strove forward using the wall as his support.


    After he exited the mansion, Wen Qinxi couldn''t hold on anymore. He copsed right by the door murmuring Qie Ranzhe''s name. He was barely lucid when the ck Cobras imed victory acquiring their target. Wen Qinxi was tied up and dragged to the 4x4 parked outside the shield barrier.


    His body was dragged halfway before the man holding his cor was burnt to ash in a matter of seconds. The man didn''t even get to scream with his body engulfed in golden mes. A loud roar cracked the skies as a ck dragon took centre stage ready to defend his lover. If the ck Cobras were to take on Qie Ranzhe one on one they would most likely lose but President Qie had already given them means to defeat the dragon as a fallback n.


    The men cast chromium chains forged at the centre of Vostok Station in Antarctica, the coldest ce on earth. These frosty chains were kept in super-chilled sodium-potassium at -273 degrees Celsius. These chains were specially made for Qie Ranzhe just in case this powerful dragon went astray. Qie Ranzhe was vulnerable to ice and his father took advantage of this to keep his son in check.


    Qie Ranzhe managed to dodge three of the chains with the fourth one sessfully grasping his foot. The ck dragon ran rampant sending waves of fiery mes to the enemy preventing them from casting their chains once more. Some were lucky enough to escape but the rest were reduced to ash, not even leaving behind bones for their families to bury. The backyard was suddenly filled with the smell of burnt flesh and sounds of jiggling chains.


    Qie Ranzhe felt his body weaken from the chain wrapped around his leg. With a swoosh of his tail, he smacked the chain but of course, it didn''t break. Out of desperation, he spat out a stream of hot mes trying to free himself so he can save his lover but it was futile. Apart from soot, the chain appeared undamaged frustrating this dragon. The sad part was that he couldn''t even transform into his human form.


    His second leg was soon chained as well that is before a made from the same material was cast over his body rendering him powerless. The ck Cobras had won but they had suffered so many losses that only three people remained of the twenty men. The team leader had one of his subordinates take Feng Zi away and call for back up so they could take this dragon with them.


    Qie Ranzhe struggled to free himself as he watched Feng Zi carelessly hauled into the car. He roared in anger trying to burn the but the captain snorted saying, "How does it feel General, watching your most important person dragged away to their death?... Now you understand how the rest of us feel after losing our children and wives due to a shittyary atmosphere... Give it up, there is no point in fighting the inevitable."


    The general naturally ignored the brainless cannon fodder and kept on trying to free himself. He swore to make his father pay for kidnapping Feng Zi but he had to get out of these troublesome restraints first. After ten minutes of struggling, Feng Yu finally made his appearance after blowing up two-thirds of the army out front. The remaining third already ran off to their mummies crying and he didn''t think they were worth chasing after.


    He arrived only to find his courtyard a mess with two men mocking a ck dragon. ''Isn''t this that jerk of a General?'' thought Feng Yu as his right-hand man took care of the two remaining ck Cobras members.


    Feng Yu panicked yelling, "Ah-Zi!....Ah-Zi! You! Qie Ranzhe, where is my Ah-Zi?" but he couldn''t get a response from the solemn dragon. Worried for his son he figured out a way to get the and chains off the dragon. He had his men bring over his diamond wheel saw from his nefarious miningpany and used it to cut the heavy chains.As expected the chains broke apart with a loud ng falling to the ground.


    In a few minutes, Qie Ranzhe was set free from his bonds. Just after retaining his freedom, Qie Ranzhe attacked the team leader pressing on the man''s gunshot wound after being shot by Feng Yu''s men. The proud man screamed in pain while cursing Qie Ranzhe calling him a traitor.


    Unable to stand the noise, Qie Ranzhe grabbed Feng Yu''s handgun and shot the team leader in cold blood. His eyes resembling those of a high ranking demon, he shot the only remaining team member in the thigh.


    The man cried out in pain rolling around the ground wishing for death instead. Qie Ranzhe didn''t sympathize with him as he pat the man''s cheeks saying, "Shhhh," with his index finger on his lips, "Hey, hey..... look at me. You can apany your team leader at the yellow river but the means to get there can either be painless or excruciatingly painful so take your pick."


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t even give the man a chance to respond as he took out a dagger and stabbed deep into the gunshot wound causing the man to almost pass out in pain. He drew out the dagger when the man was about to faint and asked, "Where are they taking him?"


    Choosing an easy death, the man hurriedly confessed, "They..... they''re taking him to the Himyas station. That''s, that''s all I know. Please sir, spare my life please," cutting a sorry figure.


    Feng Yu''s face sank in disbelief. It seemed President Qie had found out Feng Zi''s secret. As to who informed him? It could only be Nu Shen. He treated that girl with sincerity but it turns out his sincerity was stomped on and paid back with betrayal. That bitch had crossed the line and it was time for her to die.


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t waste any time. He strolled over to Feng Yu and said, "Deal with him as you see fit. I am going to get your son back,"before transforming into a dragon once more, soaring the skies to retrieve his beloved.

 Chapter 275: Third World: Feng Yus Collection Of Witches

    Chapter 275: Third World: Feng Yu''s Collection Of Witches


    Wen Qinxi was thoroughly knocked out cold for a good twenty-four hours. Those twenty-fours hours when his body couldn''t wake up, Wen Qinxi spent time watching some gaming Livestream videos and movies courtesy of the filial system. This also served as a method of distraction from the uing events. When he thought about the pain associated with the crystal being extracted from his body, Wen Qinxi felt his entire body shudder in fright.


    He felt like crying mummy like he did when someone bullied him when he was a kid. What made it worse was that the system didn''t forget to make fun of him in the process, finding entertainment in his misfortune. Jolie went as far as saying, "Boss would you like some pain relievers and a hot water bottle?"


    At that time Wen Qinxi asked, "What? Would that help?" genuinely excited but the system''s response had him wishing he could smack Jolie upside its head.


    "Well, girls use that when aunt flow visits and since the pain is equivalent to that then maybe it can help you," said the system with a deadpan expression in stiflingughter.


    "Piss off," was Wen Qinxi''s response angered to the point of seeing red. He didn''t know when his fear of pain started but his oldest memory was when he saw a nurse holding an injection with an evil smile. Seeing that the little boy associated that vile smile with that in fairytale books. It was like seeing a witch from a fairytalee to life so he ran away like his ass was on fire. Naturally, they restrained him because it was a vital vine.


    From then on he slowly transitioned to being an indoor nerd this way he would rarely get hurt giving pain a face p. But who would have thought this game would expose him to the one thing he had sessfully avoided in the past. Actually, not just one but two things including snakes. He couldn''t help but wonder how Qie Ranzhe''s brain functioned to conjure up such cruel things.


    While Wen Qinxi was busy holding up a copsing bridge with a band-aid hypnotizing himself, Feng Yu was poking the Hos'' nest with no restraint. It was almost as though the man had lost his mind disregarding his own safety. After Qie Ranzhe left, he gathered up his men and went after those bitches in full force. His first target was Qie Guaiwu which was apparently the easiest target. The woman had taken off at the nearest military base intending to find Feng Xieling.


    Qie Ranzhe was a hopeless case so she decided to raise his son since the little boy was about to be orphaned. She nned on raising him the right way so their Qie lineage wouldn''t be cut off. With this in mind she didn''t join her brother choosing to go hunting instead but she didn''t foresee the shitstorming her way.


    Like a deranged maniac, Feng Yu blew up the base just as her helicopter took off from the helipad. A heat-seeking missile struck the tail rotor of the military helicopter effectively shooting it down from the sky. With a loud bang, the helicopter crashed into the sand dunes. While the upants were still disoriented, a fleet of cknd rovers drove through the desert packed with gunmen. If the cars weren''t fancy one would think it was a scene taken straight from mad max.


    Feng Yu was standing up with his head sticking out of the sunroof looking like a hooligan with a crazed expression. He looked like a murderous beast ready for the kill. Since she dared harm her son then it was only natural she paid the consequences. As stated by newton''s thirdw, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. It was about time she paid the piper.


    In a matter of seconds, the fallen helicopter was surrounded by Feng Yu''s vehicles. A group of armed men dashed out of the cars and dragged Qie Guaiwu out of the wreckage before carelessly pushing her to the ground resulting in her eating a mouthful of sand. Exuding a suave aura, Feng Yu got out off the car and walked over to the woman who was spitting out sand. The prestigious General of The Army was reduced to a pitiful woman with blood seeping out the corner of her mouth.


    He crouched down before her and said, "You know why I am here, right?" appearing calm but his voice possessed menacing undertones.


    Qie Guaiwu had been exposed to countless conflicts dealing with rebels and warlords so how could Feng Yu this red head meerkat intimidate her. She immediately pulled out the sibling card yelling, "You little shit! Do you know what will happen to your pathetic band of thieves when my brother finds out? Your pathetic organization will be squeezed like a pesky cockroach in no time," with an arrogant air around despite her disadvantaged circumstances.


    Unfortunately, Feng Yu was the least bit affected. He was a man with nothing to lose. Even his men had been well taken care of by him for so many years and would dly follow their master in death. He suddenly chuckled like an evil clown then in a swift motion, his face turned cold as he grabbed her by the hair leading her to the car. The man wasn''t a gentleman about it carelessly tossing the woman in the car.


    In a matter of seconds, the fleet of cars vanished with Qie Guaiwu''s assistant who had been ying dead just now, opening his eyes while sighing in relief. Taking this as a sign from the gods above to quit his job, he helped the injured pilot out of the wreckage before requesting back up. He then called the human resource department to submit his resignation.


    For Feng Yu, this was only the beginning. His next target was Zhao Huangzhi. He was not only after her but her old man as well.


    It was about time he exerted his revenge upon that short bald man. By nightfall, Feng Yu was outside Zhaopound were Zhao Huangzhi had run off to. She was trying to get her father to force Qie Ranzhe''s hand and marry her. Her exact words were, "Drug him, tie him up. Do whatever it takes to make him mine." What she didn''t know was her father had already made a deal with President Qie to handover Qie Ranzhe. The old man nned to tame that dragon using hical psychiatric methods till the only person in his eyes was Zhao Huangzhi.


    The methods were crude but effective, that way he could give his precious daughter a docile husband. At this moment, they didn''t know the ck Cobras had failed to capture Qie Ranzhe and that he was on his way to rescue Feng Zi.


    Like a lion on the prowl, Feng Yu waited for the right moment to strike. Like a madman high on explosives, he blew up the entirepound in hystericalughter. His subordinates secretly lit a candle for the vile woman who messed with the wrong papa bear. The father and daughter pair hid in their panic room waiting for rescue.

 Chapter 276: Third World: Feng Yus Collection Of Witches 2

    Chapter 276: Third World: Feng Yu''s Collection Of Witches 2


    Mr Zhao had already activated the emergency button alerting his high-end securitypany.


    Feng Yu found this amusing and decided to toy with this pair, lying in wait to ambush the so-called high-end securitypany. In an instant, the burningpound fell into silence with the asional chirping of crickets under the dark inky night. As expected, the securitypany was indeed high end arriving at the scene in under five minutes. Unfortunately, they weren''t trained to deal with a character like Feng Yu, falling into his trap with ease.


    It took Feng Yu half the time it took the securitypany to arrive at the scene, to kill them all.


    After he was done ruthlessly ughtering them, he had three of his men dress like the securitypany guards and ambled towards the panic room. One of his men pressed the inte and yed the part of the team leader announcing their arrival. The panic-stricken Mr Zhao checked the surveince camera and saw three armed men with thepany''s logo on their bulletproof vests.


    Mr Zhao was naturally a paranoid person so he dyed opening the door causing her impatient daughter to scream at him saying, "Father, what are you waiting for? Open the door, I feel suffocated in here." She was huddled at the corner, her face ashen pale, terrified to death as expected of amander in name only.


    Mr Zhao ignored his daughter and pressed the inte button to ask, "Mission code?" One would think that it was gameover for Feng Yu''s men but their boss was a genius, mad man. He had already hacked the securitypany phones that the rescue team brought with them and told his men the mission code. If their boss wasn''t smart they would have resorted to smoking the father and daughter pair out of the panic room.


    "Zulu Hotel Alpha Oscar 2705," said the confident gangster raising his head, "ZHAO2705 sir, please open the door."


    Feeling a bad premonition at the pit of his stomach, he removed his hand from the inte button hesitating. Seeing this, a dissatisfied Zhao Huangzhi yelled, "What the fuck are you waiting for?.... Tsk," before standing up to press the button herself. Mr Zhao tried to stop his daughter but it was already toote.


    As the sliding metal door opened, the two people were met with Feng Yu''s menacing grin resembling that of the viin Joker. The only thing missing was him saying ''time to die'' toplete the aesthetics. Feng Yu tilted his head to the side with that malicious smile still stered on his face as he raised his gold ted handgun at Mr Zhao.


    "Remember me?"


    Mr Zhao knew who he was but it had been many years since Feng Yu''s wife died. Because of that, he had just thought the man had let go of the past. What he didn''t know was that his daughter had offended Feng Yu''s son bringing about his day of retribution earlier than expected.


    "Let''s, let''s be reasonable.... name your price.... Aren''t we businessmen," said Mr Zhao walking backwards trying to buy some time and get his gun.


    Feng Yu chuckled while waving his gun around. This was incredibly funny. The Zhao family had the neck to screw with his family. First, it was his wife and now it was his son. How could he let this pig go? "Do I look like Ick money to you? Pigs like you deserve to be ughtered.... consider this retribution," said Feng Yu before pulling the trigger just as the man had reached his gun safe.


    Zhao Huangzhi who had been taken by surprise screamed in terror with her father''s brain material sttered on her face. She screamed, puked, screamed and fainted in that order. Feng Yu kicked Mr Zhao before handing his gun over to his right-hand man. "Take all his possessions and sell them on the ck market. Use the money to fund the poverty-stricken citizens nationwide.... This pig exploited a lot of people so whatever crime hemitted in life should be repaid in death," said Feng Yu before walking out of the bloody panic room with two other men carrying Zhao Huangzhi.


    ''Two down, one to go.''


    Feng Yu intended to torture these three women before sending them off to King Yemma. By the time the twenty-four hours were up, Feng Yu was heading towards Feng Zi''s mansion. He knew that brat Nu Shen would probably be squatting there. This man had aplished so much in a day. If Wen Qinxi knew, he would be touched. Unfortunately, he had his own problems. As soon as he woke up, he found himself in an icebox, unable to move.


    It seemed he was still in transit possibly in a ne. Wen Qinxi tried to move his hands and flip open the lid but his arms were frozen stiff. He figured he could only open his eyes. It seemed President Qie wasn''t taking any chance paralysing his body and freezing him to maintain the effects for longer.


    Petrified, Wen Qinxi cursed and swore internally because he couldn''t even open his mouth. ''Fuck!'' swore Wen Qinxi with his body quivering from the cold ice. President Qie was a heartless prick.


    ''Sir, this is good. Extreme cold can also help with the pain,'' said the system trying to make Wen Qinxi see the bright side but who would have expected Wen Qinxi would retaliate in anger.


    ''Piss off!'' replied the popsicle man shivering due to the chilly air permeating his bones.


    The system that had just been cursed out by its creator for no reason, retorted, ''I see you are still in high spirits which means you aren''t in dire constraints yet soooooo... good luck.'' With that, the system vanished leaving the enraged boss behind. Wen Qinxi was so angry he kept cursing the system over and over again as a means to ease his tension. He truly feared he was going to die in this icebox and have this world start over again. But it wouldn''t necessarily be a bad thing. He could continue ying house with Qie Ranzhe and Feng Xieling for a much longer period which was great but his n was foiled when the ne descendednding on the ground. It seemed he wasn''t going to die as a human popsicle after all.


    While the icebox was being dragged into the station, Feng Yu had finally reached the paradise he had built for his son. As expected, Nu Shen was outside the mansion trying to figure out how to get in. Actually, she had been standing outside that shield for over twelve hours trying to crack the password to no avail. She was beginning to lose hope when a convoy of cars lit the desert with their bright headlights. She could instantly tell it was Feng Yu right from the get-go. Thinking she hadn''t been exposed she enthusiastically gged down Feng Yu seeming as innocent as ever. Little did she know that her hours were numbered and that Feng Yu was here for revenge.

 Chapter 277: Third World: Torture By Snakes

    Chapter 277: Third World: Torture By Snakes


    It was now as clear as day that Nu Shen had backed the wrong horse. Feng Yu had always indulged and spoilt her to some extent. She knew Feng Yu had a ruthless side, a beast among predators but she had never been on the receiving end that is until today.


    She regretted it, she regretted everything. She should have stayed obedient and let go of Feng Zi. Her betrayal hadnded her in this situation and she was going to die at the hands of the man who nurtured her. Nu Shen had stupidly dug her own grave. Despite all her crying and exnations, Feng Yu intended to bury her in that pit with her aplices.


    The three women were shoved into a dark room without a vent or window. This petrifying cold darkness resembled the dark abyss, a pit of eternal darkness from which there is no escape brimming with endless torment. Zhao Huangzhi remained silent sitting in the corner with a gue expression. The once beautiful goddess looked haggard, her body trembling with the scene of her father''s death reying in her mind.


    Her backer was gone and there was no one left to save her. She had never felt this helpless before. Why didn''t she just let it go? There were plenty of fish in the sea but she couldn''t let go of the handsome Koi that stole her heart the very first time sheid eyes on him. To be frank, that Koi didn''t belong to her in the first ce. She secretly followed Qie Ranzhe everywhere he went, that''s when she discovered Feng Zi''s existence. Qie Ranzhe was cold and aloof to everyone else but treated Feng Yu differently.


    Thick as thieves, joined to the hip or two peas in a pod, all these statements correctly described the sort of rtionships these two boys had, they were inseparable. Zhao Huangzhi was always a person who liked a good challenge so she went after the weakest link. To get the fizzy centre of the lollipop she had to crush the hard candy only then could she reap the benefits.


    In no time, she had Feng Zi eating out of the palm of her hand while subtly courting Qie Ranzhe. But she soon felt something was off. She had sessfully ruined their rtionship but even when Feng Zimitted a crime and joined the underworld, Qie Ranzhe nevermitted to her fully. Just when she was about to seal the deal, everything went downhill like an avnche destroying all her ns. All her efforts were for nought especially after Feng Zi lost all interest in her. It was like watching a broken porcin doll piece itself together which was her biggest nightmare.


    If only she had left it there but she stubbornly persisted. It was her pig-headed nature thatnded a bullet in her father''s head. And now, she was going to die at the hands of a madman. No, she couldn''t ept this. Her name is Zhao Huangzhi the only heir of the Zhao empire so how could she die like this.


    "No... no, I can''t, no...," she mumbled while licking her chapped lips. She ced her hands on either side of her head, her eyes as wide as light bulbs resembling a mental patient. Qie Guaiwu had been meditating while patiently waiting for her brother toe to her rescue when she heard Zhao Huangzhi''s incoherent mumbling.


    She red at Zhao Huangzhi, her eyesced with frost. How can a woman born of the world''s most powerful family be shaken by a stupid meerkat like Feng Yu? News of their kidnap must have already reached President Qie and Mr Zhao so what was there to worry about? Just as Qie Guaiwu closed her eyes, Zhao Huangzhi''s mumbling grew louder by a decibel each time. "No..... I have to, I have to get out of here. Can''t die like this," said the crazed Zhao Huangzhi with foam seeping out of the corner of her mouth as she stood up banging the metal door, "let me out!" Bang! Bang! Bang!


    "I said, let me out damn it!" said the crazed Zhao Huangzhi followed by a loud thump thump thump sound as she resorted to kicking the door. "Arrrrrgggghhhhh!" she screamed before sliding down against the metal door crying in trepidation. The woman exhausted herself crying in anguish with her back leaning against the door.


    This made the level headed General lose her cool as she reprimanded her. "Get a hold of yourself. You are the only Zhao family heir. They are probably on their way to rescue you," said Qie Guaiwu hoping to shut this woman up but who would have expected her words would provoke Zhao Huangzhi. The crazed woman turned on the general screaming at her like she was out of her mind.


    "It''s all your fault... you did all this! If only you had educated him well he wouldn''t have been robbed from me by a man and we wouldn''t be here... The heavens were right to give you a rotten womb! They knew you would make a horrible mothe-," she said but a loud p echoed in the darkness shutting her mouth.


    Qie Guaiwu who had been insulted by a little girl, who was still wet behind her ears, lost her mindpletely. This insult hit her soft spot. The reason why she took in Qie Ranzhe after his mother died was to fulfil her selfish desires and raise a powerful leader as she couldn''t have one of her own. She had concealed this very well after her divorce but it seemed Miss Zhao knew about it all along.


    This little girl should keep her mouth shut otherwise she would spread it all around the capital and make her the talk of the town. What she didn''t know was that they wouldn''t live long enough to go back to the capital let alone spread rumours. She was just about to p Zhao Huangzhi once more when there were noises on top of the roof.


    Moonlight seeped into the room as the small gap was opened. Qie Guaiwu mistook this as rescue and cried out for help but all her hopes were soon dampened when she heard someone say, "Young Master Feng was bit by a snake so our Lord instructed us to return the favour a hundredfold." The man then tilted a bucket load of snakes into the darkroom making thedies scream in anguish.


    Qie Guaiwu decided to transform into her beast form and crawl out of the hole but she found they couldn''t. Even Nu Shen who could have easily controlled the unintellectual snakes by transforming, couldn''t. Feng Yu had done something to them preventing them from transforming.


    "Oh, don''t worry... they aren''t venomous to the point of death but they have enough venom to make you wish for death. Enjoy!"


    The man was right, the snakes slithered and struck them but death didn''te. The three women screamed in anguish but no one came to their aid. This was only the beginning as Feng Yu had much more in store for them.

 Chapter 278: Third World: President Qies First Move

    Chapter 278: Third World: President Qie''s First Move


    While some were being tormented with snakes, the human popsicle finally reached its destination. Wen Qinxi had been hauled left and right during transit. If it weren''t because he hadn''t eaten in more than thirty-six hours, he would have puked his guts out.


    He thanked the heavens as soon as the tin can stopped moving. It seemed they had finally reached their destination. The icebox was soon opened and his gaze fell upon three scientists wearing yellow hazmat suits and ck rubber gloves. Wen Qinxi wanted to beat the crap out of the geniuses but he still couldn''t move. He could only helplessly watch as they picked up his frozen body. Of course, he didn''t forget to re daggers at them in the process.


    The scientists felt his unnerving gaze and shuddered despite knowing that the man was immobilized. This didn''t stopyers of cold sweat from forming on their backs and foreheads. This man was too scary.


    Wen Qinxi was carried to a container that closely resembled a diving chamber and ced inside in a sitting position before the door was mmed in his face.


    His stiff muscles slowly regained mobility but because they were still numb, his entire body felt like wobbly jelly as he came tumbling down to the ground swearing, "Shit!"


    Wen Qinxiy face t on the floor unable to move his limbs for a good two hours. This was incredibly humiliating considering Feng Zi was an underworld boss with so many minions. "I am going to kill him... I am going to fuckin kill him," he murmured on feeling wronged. His hatred for President Qie skyrocketed with each second he spent on the floor.


    "Boss....," whispered the system but Wen Qinxi didn''t respond, "Boss.... are you okay?"


    Wen Qinxi whose finger was finally regaining mobility replied, "Do I look fuckin okay to you?" This system was done for. He would surely keep his word and punish Jolie as soon as he got out of here.


    "Oh, I just wanted to tell you that the CEO is on his way. Just endure it for a little longer," said the system but Wen Qinxi didn''t take that information too well.


    "You do realise I am supposed to die to pass this world? Even if he shows up and saves me how am I supposed to pass this world?... He will only make things moreplicated for me," said Wen Qinxi trying to lift his hand as a prickly feeling washed over him.


    The system felt helpless struggling toe up with words offort. But as it turns out, it didn''t have to because President Qie walked into the room interrupting their conversation. The so-called president wore a sardonic expression as he leisurely strolled over like a man void of all worries. He peeked through the thick ss window looking for Feng Zi but he couldn''t see him.


    How was he supposed to gloat when he couldn''t see Feng Zi? He had to make that little brat pay for making him lose face by stealing the codes right under his nose. Granted, Feng Zi used his son to gain ess but it reflects badly on him as a parent. He had to humiliate Feng Zi to vent out all his repressed anger so he asked one of the scientists to open the chamber and drag Feng Zi out.


    Against their advice, President Qie insisted so the scientists opened the chamber and dragged the man out as per the president''s orders. Wen Qinxi was dragged out of the chamber but didn''t forget to grab a pen from one of the scientists''b coat. He said he was going to kill President Qie and he intended to keep his promise. Without being noticed, Wen Qinxi hid the pen in his sleeve patiently waiting for his entire body to regain mobility.


    "HAHAHAHAHA!... Who would have thought I would finallyy my hands on the red devil of the underworld? HAHAHAHAHA! Brat! You thought you could hide from me forever?... Tsk tsk tsk how naive," said President Qie after kicking him in the stomach a couple of times.


    Wen Qinxi felt like crying wishing for death. He couldn''t stand the pain but had to endure it a while longer. He would rather get into the chamber and get the extraction process done than linger around to be bullied by this man.


    President Qie crouched down and grabbed Feng Zi''s hair before lifting his head to force the man to look at him. "How disappointing. Is this the so-called young master of the underworld?... Tsk, how disappointing," before mming Feng Zi''s head against the floor. Wen Qinxi grimaced in pain with a tear flowing at the corner of his mouth. It felt like his insides were being cut by a sickle but he could barely endure it. He couldn''t understand why this man had to torture him first before extracting his precious crystal.


    He could do without the torture so he said, "Let''s get this ov-over and done with. Wh-whats the use of all the extra things? Unless...."


    "Unless what?" asked the president surprised that Feng Zi could speak despite being overdosed with paralytic drugs that couldst at least a week.


    Wen Qinxi felt his feet regain their strength but continued to pretend to be a vegetable as he responded, "Un-unless you are a fuckin douchebag with no regard for, for your people. Isn''t saving earth your priority?"


    President Qie found this amusing so he broke out in a burst of boisterousughter before saying, "Those idiots can wait. Death can''te easy to you. I need to torture you first before you have a one on one facetime with the grim reaper."


    After spewing nonsense, the president punched and kicked Wen Qinxi with no reservations. He med Feng Zi for everything cursing him out to seventh heaven. His filial son was deceived by this subus to the point of producing offspring. How could he not torture him first? After being kicked a couple of times, Wen Qinxi got saved by the president''s secretary walking up to him holding a phone.


    President Qie was angry being disturbed but when he heard the news that Mr Zhao was dead and his sister was missing, his anger melted down reced with concern. He immediately gave orders to have the army deployed to save his sister. But before he couldplete his orders, a searing pain came from having his thigh stabbed by a pen. He groaned in pain as his guard rushed to protect the president but they weren''t fast enough as the same pen was pulled out of his flesh and driven straight into his eye.


    Wen Qinxi wanted to deal more damage but he was unfortunately subdued by the president''s guard. He had used all his strength to stab the president''s eye which made it easy for the guards to press him down.


    Yes, he had taken the president''s eye with a pen but unfortunately, the president held someone of more value to him.

 Chapter 279: Third World: Blackening Of The Nerd

    Chapter 279: Third World: ckening Of The Nerd


    Pain is said to be part of being alive but right now someone didn''t see it that way. Wen Qinxi would rather console himself with one of William Shakespeare''s quotes, ''Pain pays the ie of each precious thing.'' That encouraged him to endure but it wasn''t an easy task. His torment also motivated him to stab the President''s eye. The normal him would never be able to do such a gruesome thing even to an NPC but the psycho Feng Zi character had no such liberties.


    So, the president suffered such an unexpected loss roaring like a beast with a dragon horn appearing at the top of his head inching towards transformation. ''Fuck! I shouldn''t have done that,'' thought Wen Qinxi reprimanding himself. Because he wanted the pain to stop, he was short-sighted in his thinking that he only managed to further infuriate the president. As expected, the enraged president smacked his barely recovered body straight into the wall.


    Wen Qinxi felt his insides twist in excruciating pain. He couldn''t help but curl up on the ground while counting backwards to try and distract himself from the pain. He had indeed confirmed the theory that women have a higher tolerance for pain than men.


    While Wen Qinxi was questioning his life choices, the viinous president had pulled out the pen and flung it away. The high-quality parker pen was an expensive gift for the head researcher from his wife when he got promoted. That precious gift was reduced to scrap with one fling of an arm, smashing into the wall. It was such a pity, the pen was also engraved.


    The loss of his pen was the least of the man''s worries. He now had hospital bills to worry about because the president turned around and bellowed, "Whose fuckin pen was that?!" Even with one eye closed as streaks of blood seeped out, President Qie was still bad shit scary and all that anger was now directed at the poor head researcher.


    President Qie walked over and kicked the man straight in the face, officially dmissioning this scientist in one swoop. Satisfied, the president strode out of the room heading for the infirmary. He didn''t forget to drop a sentence on his way out. "Lock him up.... as for the General of the army.... send a team," instructed the president with a hint of hesitation. Even he knew what Feng Yu was capable of. His sister was probably dead, if she wasn''t dead then the maniac was probably toying with her first then kill her. Sending a team was just for show because they didn''t even know where Feng Yu was. Even if they were to turn the entire underworld upside down they might not get any useful information. This was because Feng Yu was a cautious person and the king of the underworld which meant no criminal in their right mind would sell him out unless they didn''t value their lives.


    This meant that saving Qie Guaiwu was a hopeless case thus he didn''t concern himself with it much. In this business, there are bound to be sacrifices. If he was willing to sacrifice his son what more his sister?


    Wen Qinxi couldn''t move after that beating and counting backwards from a thousand wasn''t effective anymore so under the guidance of the system, they went through several methods of distracting him from the pain. In the two hours he was locked up, Wen Qinxi tried deep breathing just like a woman inbour, listen to music and the alphabet challenge but it was of little help.


    ''When this is over and done with, I want to deliver one p. Just one p on that handsome face,'' said Wen Qinxi talking to the system.


    Jolie rolled its eyes at this silly boss who thought he could p Qie Ranzhe. Could this count as the ckening of the nerd? It didn''t feel like bringing this nerd back to earth so it agreed, ''Sure, sure, sure.... one p right across the face will do it. Make sure to leave a red palm print. It will leave a memorable impression.''


    Answering a fool at his folly, Jolie urged the nerd on, inciting Wen Qinxi to sink deeper into his flight of fancy.


    Wen Qinxi could almost see a scene straight from a manga, face pping the overbearing CEO with a loud pa! This could serve as a cure for whatever goes on in Qie Ranzhe''s brain that he had toe up with such a shitty world.


    If a psychologist were to study this scenario it would seem that the unconscious Qie Ranzhe was using psychological warfare to keep Wen Qinxi in this world longer. It could be concluded that the CEO was using the nerd''s fear of pain to make him stay but Wen Qinxi had no such intentions which meant this CEO miscalcted.


    Qie Ranzhe who had no idea he had been pped several times in his lover''s mind, had just arrived at the secure facility at the highest peak of the Himyas. After tracking the snowy mountain he finally arrived and the first thing he did was trip the rm attracting the attention of the security forces. This station was like Fort Knox, an imprable base that even his aunt didn''t have ess to.


    His father had upgraded the security of the facility after Feng Yu robbed the of its crystal limiting the number of individuals who could enter and leave. They hired scientists who weren''t allowed to leave the station till retirement. Their families also lived here with them which meant they had no reason to leave. As to who could enter the facility, that could only be personally decided by the president.


    Because of this, Qie Ranzhe knew he wouldn''t be able to break in. The only way was to trip the rm and get the security forces'' attention. He nned on killing a few of them and allow himself to be captured. This was the only way he could sessfully enter the facility.


    Within seconds of the rm going off outside the wall, a calvary of security forces head in his direction with their weapons drawn. One burly man wearing a different coloured uniform from the rest spoke up while slowly walking through the snow leading the team. "Come out or will shoot!" said the burly man followed by the crunchy sounds of their boots stepping on the snowy ground.


    Qie Ranzhe was hiding in a tree clothed in all white cold-weather gear. This camouged his presence in the snow-covered branches. A sly smile crept up his face as he heard the team leader yell even louder while looking through their rifle scope searching for the culprit. The oblivious team leader kept moving forward yelling, "Come out! This is yourst chan-.... shit!" He didn''t get to finish his statement as a clicking sound reached his ears.


    The entire calvary stood still holding their breath when six more clicking sounds were heard. It seemed they had unknowingly stepped onndmines hidden below the snow. "Fall back! Shit!..... Fall back damn it!" yelled the team leader to those who were fortunate enough to evade these traps. The team leader used years of training to calm his breathing and asess the situation. ording to logic, all he had to do was stay still so as to not trigger thendmine but how could Qie Ranzhe let him go just like that.

 Chapter 280: Third World: Old Dragon Vs Young Dragon

    Chapter 280: Third World: Old Dragon Vs Young Dragon


    Courtesy of Feng Zi, he had learnt a few tricks. He had used smartnd mines which meant he could use a remote detonator. This meant even if the men didn''t move, thendmine could still detonate. Don''t me him for being vicious, these men had a hand in kidnapping his most important person so how could he let them walk away without any losses.


    As the rest of the team fell back looking for equipment to deactivate thendmines, rapid clicking sounds followed which meant the snowy peak was about to light up like a Christmas tree.


    "Fuck!" swore the team leader which was hisst word. Sessive boom sounds followed one after the other with the snow forming misty brownish-white clouds with a glint of blood. More than half the security forces went down in the sessive explosions.


    As soon as it quieted down, Qie Ranzhe descendant from atop a fir tree andnded like a powerful superhero borrowing the hand of God to punish the wicked. He grabbed the team leader''s rifle before advancing forward. Like a mythological creature emerging from the cloud of smoke in a cinematic picture, Qie Ranzhe showed himself and fired a round of bullets in the air to get these panicked soldiers'' attention.


    He then tossed the rifle on the side and put his hands behind his back in surrender. The security forces who were still mourning their fallenrades took notice of the general. If this man wasn''t President Qie''s son and their beloved general they would have shot him on the spot. They couldn''t believe the world''s youngest general with a high military rank would attack their facility and kill their men.


    What they didn''t realise was that their idol had ckened because President Qie dared touch what belonged to him. He was no longer the prestigious General that scaled the looking for the world''s most wanted criminals, Feng Yu and Feng Zi. He was now a man that would kill his own kind to get Feng Zi back.


    The men hesitated with neither of them taking the first step to arrest General Qie. This was because the general had a reputation across the for being a force to be reckoned with. No one had the balls to cast the first stone. If it weren''t for the President''s close guard rushing outside to capture this traitor, Qie Ranzhe might have to p a few of them so they could arrest him.


    Qie Ranzhe was knocked out after being struck with the back of a rifle before he was dragged into the facility. His father who had just stepped out of the infirmary, heard Qie Ranzhe was responsible for the firework disy outside the facility and that he was caught. President Qie didnt take this news too well because he was expecting his defiant son to be under Mr Zhao''s care but who was he kidding.


    It seems if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself. In a few strides, he reached the control room only to find his knocked out son handcuffed. His once-powerful son was lying down on the floor like an abandoned dog on the street. He never paid much attention to his son as long as the child didn''t stain his presidency but seeing him lying on the floor like this, made President Qie''s heartache. He was, after all, the president''s son.


    "Pick him up,"manded the president settling in the nearby chair. Like a powerful mafia boss, he crossed his leg one over the other and lit a cigar. After his first puff, he said, "Wake him up."


    A bucket of cold water poured on the unconscious Qie Ranzhe sessfully waking him up. Qie Ranzhe wiped his face while taking deep breaths to calm himself down. Before he even managed to regain hisposure, his father said, "Awake?" A light chuckle escaped the president''s throat blowing out smoke rings.


    "You are so fuckin stubborn, aren''t you?.... I specifically arranged for you to live a good life and spend the rest of your days with a beautiful woman but... tsk, tsk, tsk you still chose toe here."


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t respond on purpose to further infuriate his father. He wanted this old man to lead him to where he was keeping Feng Zi so he shut his mouth. As predicted, President Qie clenched his fist fuming with rage.


    Without notice, he pped Qie Ranzhe across the face causing the general''s head to tilt to the side. As a consequence, Qie Ranzhe identally bit his lower lip resulting in blood seeping at the corner of his mouth. Qie Ranzhe licked the corner of his lips as his father exploded in rage using every curse in the dictionary. Even the B-word, MF-word and other B-word weren''t spared. Qie Ranzhe was called every swear word making this scolding earn a ce in the Guinness book of records.


    "You should have died with your mother. Useless! So fuckin useless..... you love him that much? Then let this grandfather make you watch while he dies.... get up!.... I said get up!" yelled President Qie but Qie Ranzhe didn''t budge so the president was forced to grab his son''s cor and drag him to were Feng Zi was being held.


    Wen Qinxi was doing some breathing exercises to help cope with the pain when the door was suddenly opened followed by a loud thud due to a body forcefully hitting the floor. Curious, Wen Qinxi stood up inside the crystal chamber and looked through the thick ss window. Qie Ranzhe''s face was swollen with a bloodstain at the corner of his lip. Distressed, Wen Qinxi couldn''t hold back, "What the fuck are you doing here?... You shouldn''t be here," despite having been warned earlier on by the system that Qie Ranzhe wasing to save him.


    If Qie Ranzhe was to die before the task wasplete, wouldn''t that be a waste of all his efforts? Was this deliberate sabotage? Qie Ranzhe looked up to his lover who was locked inside the crystal chamber. He smiled seeing Feng Zi alive and well. Feng Zi could scold him, hit him even stab him but he didn''t care. As long as the man was alive and well, that''s all that mattered to him. So he called out, "Baby," in a charming husky voice that had Wen Qinxi''s face heat up at rapid speed, "I am here to take you home."


    Wen Qinxi felt his insides boil up in excitement almost squirming like a little girl screaming internally, ''Handsome... so handsome.'' But he didn''t get to admire his handsome boyfriend for long because Qie Ranzhe broke the cuffs and attacked his father. The beginning of a PK between father and son. Two dragons broke out of the facility engaging in a battle to the death. Old vs young. As to who was going to win, it remained a mystery

 Chapter 281: Third world: Fight To The Death

    Chapter 281: Third world: Fight To The Death


    In the vast mountain range with peaks covered in snow, the once serene atmosphere that is meant to relieve stress was disturbed by loud roars echoing in the mountains. The fluffy clouds floating at the mountains peaks dispersed as though sensing the impending danger. Two dragons, one ck the other grey soared the skies spitting out golden-red mes at each other. The weather took a 180-degree turn from cold to extremely hot.


    It was as though an equatorial summer had descended upon one of the coldest ces on earth, melting the snow off the beautiful mountains. Father and son were at odds with each other not holding back. It was about time they exchanged blows and vent out their grievances.


    President Qie believed his son was overdue for a beating so he took advantage of this provocation to put his son in his ce. With a swoosh, his spiky tail smacked hard across Qie Ranzhe''s back sending the younger dragon a few yards away before stopping. Roaring to the point of causing an avnche, Qie Ranzhe fired a stream of mes towards his father but the old dragon easily avoided the iing attack. At light speed, President Qie once again struck the same spot as before clearly intending to break his son''s backbone.


    He won''t rest till his son was spineless and tamed but how could such a task be that easy. Their unyielding character was the same. As the saying goes, they were cut from the same cloth so how could Qie Ranzhe yield easily.


    Qie Ranzhe grimaced in pain but tried so hard to hide his difort. He didn''t want his father to grow a second head assuming he was one to be easily bullied. Just as his father wanted to strike him once more, Qie Ranzhe dodged and swung his tail in his father''s face next to the injured eye taking advantage of President Qie''s weakness.


    The president read his mind and bit hard on Qie Ranzhe''s tail with his long sharp teeth. Like a dog ying with a chew toy, President Qie bit down to the point of drawing blood. Qie Ranzhe who hadn''t seen iting roared in pain chasing away the rest of whatever wildlife remaining. The president flung his son down to the ground. The ck dragon crashed into the trees at high speed leaving behind a clear stretch ofnd dividing the forest into two like a fire break.


    Qie Ranzhe felt his entire body hurt and just as he raised his head, his father descended like a missile heading straight for him. Qie Ranzhe yed dead for a second letting the enemye closer and once the grey dragon reached his proximity Qie Ranzhe swung his tail hard trying to smack his father away but President Qie bit his tail once more and flung him like a stick causing his son to crash into trees.


    In a primitive stance, the grey dragon stood with pride and roared causing the earth to shake establishing his dominance. In a loud voice he said, "Still fighting with your emotions... tsk, tsk, tsk you never learn. As long as you don''t learn you will never be able to defeat me."


    Kicking him while he''s down, President Qie stepped on the fallen dragon''s wing and wed at it causing his son to shudder in pain. He ruthlessly tore his son''s wing leaving an unsightly wound that was hard to look at. Qie Ranzhe bellowed in pain but he couldn''t shake his father off.


    With his piercing gaze, President Qie stared at the torn chunk of flesh and said, "Boy, you flew too close to the sun and got burnt.... have you forgotten whose king? You don''t fuckin deserve those wings so guess what...I am going to clip your wings hahaha," with an evilugh trailing after his speech.


    Qie Ranzhe naturally wouldn''t let that happen. If he dies what would happen to his lover and his kid. If he couldn''t beat his father today then he would make sure they go down together. That way he could ensure his family''s safety. He nned on sinking them both at the bottom of the skeletonke leaving his father with no chance of resurfacing but first he had to deal some damage and weaken the grey dragon''s strength.


    The young dragon suddenly chuckled astonishing President Qie. He thought he had beat his son silly. In his daze, Qie Ranzhe carried on saying, "You are right but I probably won''t walk out this alive.....hahaha....neither will you." Thest part was said with a deep treacherous voice that had the president confused. Qie Ranzhe was about to retaliate when the old dragon roared in anguish. Searing mes as powerful as smiting angels burnt the president''s back. President Qie was taken by surprise but he didn''t have time to recover when he was pushed by a powerful force crashing into a mountain.


    Cries of a beautiful firebird cracked the skies as its powerful wings pped creating a majestic wind. Wen Qinxi could feel his body screaming in anguish holding this form but he couldn''t let his lover die. For this reason, he endured and flew down to heal Qie Ranzhe. As the glorious bird descended from the sky the two lovers locked eyes.


    One could feel the tender feelings spread through the forest in that one gaze. Having someone watch your back is a gift that most people take for granted but for a person like Qie Ranzhe, it was the most precious thing. He had no one but himself to rely on for his entire life. Yes, friends were there, his mother was there however short it was but it wasn''t the same. It wasn''t the same as having Feng Zi.


    Just as Feng Zi reached him there was a sudden st directed towards the unsuspecting phoenix. Wen Qinxi saw iting but it was already toote to dodge. He was about to fight fire with fire but Qie Ranzhe was faster than him taking the mes head on injuring his second wing.


    His bruised and battered body was hit hard that he moved a few feet back. The situation would have been fine but he was right at the edge of a cliff. With two injured wings, Qie Ranzhe couldn''t fly back up. Pulled down by the force of gravity, Qie Ranzhe freefall from the earth''s greatest height. Wen Qinxi didn''t hesitate to dive down but because he was too weak he knew he couldn''t hold the both of them. The only solution was to feed Qie Ranzhe his blood. Short on time, Wen Qinxi transformed back to his human form and caught up with Qie Ranzhe.


    Qie Ranzhe was horrified to see his lover follow him. Panic-stricken, he reached out trying to p his wings and save Feng Zi. As an inexplicable, heart wrenching pain overwhelmed him he fought with all his might slowing down the rate of freefall. This helped Wen Qinxi catch up. He fell on top of the belly of the dragon that was facing up.


    Qie Ranzhe raised his wings and covered Feng Zi protecting him. With the powerful wind blocked Wen Qinxi bit the inside of his lip. As the warm taste of blood filled his mouth, he crawled to Qie Ranzhe''s lips. Just like that the dragon was not only kissed but fed a mouthful of blood as they mmed into the ground with a loud thud.

 Chapter 282: Third World: Lin Lins Debut

    Chapter 282: Third World: Lin Lin''s Debut


    Tranquil silence was restored in the deste forest with a wounded grey dragon standing atop a cliff looking down. He was so angry before that he forgot Feng Zi was the key to saving the. How could he let that brat go? President Qie was busy contemting on whether to go down there and fetch him. He wasn''t even sure if he would be able to extract the crystal from a corpse. Though the chances were slim, he still had to try. He was about to dive down when a loud pping sound stopped him in his tracks.


    A majestic wind powerful enough to uproot trees. Whatever creature that was resurfacing was bound to be more powerful than himself. His sixth sense had him riled up but wasn''t it his son that fell over? He couldn''t bring himself to believe that it was his son. How could there be a powerful beast at the bottom of the cliff or maybe it was Feng Zi?


    As the wind got stronger and stronger, President Qie felt his senses tingle warning him of iing danger but his pride stopped him from running which one could only interpret as stupidity. This is exactly how fools die.


    In a matter of seconds, he was met by the same ck dragon that was his son but something was different. All of Qie Ranzhe''s wounds had vanished like nothing ever happened. He started to believe that the fight before was just a figment of his imagination but the destruction of the forest was ever so real which meant it did happen. It wasn''t only his wounds, it was something else. There was a dark pressurising aura about him that made the president feel suffocated like a weak puppy surrounded by a pack of rottweilers with one way out which is death.


    "Baby, wait for me while I take out trash," said Qie Ranzhe kneeling to let Feng Zi get down.


    Wen Qinxi intended to stay out of their business so he said, "Go ahead I am just here to buy soy sauce," as he got off his lover''s back. He found himself the best seat with the greatest view to watch this 3D shitshow. The only thing missing was some melon seeds. Hugging his knees atop a hill, he watched his boyfriend kick his father''s ass. He had to admit, Qie Ranzhe was both handsome and cool.


    The president was left with no breathing room, tossed left and right like a paper doll. His son was too ruthless with his hits making the grey dragon cry out in agony. Qie Ranzhe seemed to enjoy himself very much. His father was overdue for some ass-whooping.


    President Qie couldn''t understand how his son could be this powerful as he struggled to crawl out of the hole created by his fall. Qie Ranzhe had swung his tail and smashed him on the ground creating a crevice that didn''t exist before. It was then that he recognized an anomaly. When Qie Ranzhe fell there was one other person. Could it be that bald phoenix did something to enhance his son''s ability? Was it due to the crystal? The only way to find out was to experiment. President Qiey t on the ground ying possum while looking for an opportunity to strike. He didn''t have to eat Feng Zi just biting off his arm would do. The secret had to be in Feng Zi''s body.


    Qie Ranzhe descended from the sky preparing for his final attack and sink this troublesome nuisance at the bottom of skeletonke. He summoned a zing fireball and aimed it at the grey dragon that was ying dead. Just as the fireball reached his father, the grey dragon suddenly moved at light speed.


    "Shit!" swore Qie Ranzhe following with strings of mes sting at his father. The cunning old man slowly shortened the distance between him and his target. He did it in such a subtle way that Qie Ranzhe didn''t realise it till it was toote. Once he realised something was up, Qie Ranzhe fired rapidly in session.


    Wen Qinxi also realised something was off when he saw that vile dragon inch closer to him with a murderous aura. "What the fuck!" he yelled as he stood up to run. President Qie was so blinded by his desire to attain power from Feng Zi that he didn''t even bother to dodge Qie Ranzhe''s attacks. He took the hit believing he would be powerful enough once he caught the bald phoenix.


    "Shit, shit, shit! Ran-ge... I am going to fuckin kill you for this," yelled Wen Qinxi running away. He had given his boyfriend blood to strengthen him and defeat his psycho dad but the man failed at that one job. He felt like a wife who sent her husband to buy sugar but hees back home with a t-screen tv and no sugar. So what did he give his blood for?


    With crazed eyes, the president followed behind the two-legged prey that was running for its life. Qie Ranzhe sped up trying to catch up and get his father off Feng Zi''s back but someone else beat him to it.


    President Qie was suddenly smacked on the face by a tiny ck dragon that appeared out of nowhere. The kick was so powerful that it sent this grandpa''s body and teeth flying. "Stay away from my dad you bully!" yelled the little dumpling before flying over to dish out some pain.


    Feng Xieling flew over and bit President Qie causing the powerless dragon to cry out in pain. Wen Qinxi who had been running away a second ago changed direction and ran over to stop Feng Xieling. He was scared the little dumpling would get hurt so he disregarded his own safety and ran over.


    Qie Ranzhe immediately picked him up and dropped him right by Feng Xieling''s side while pressing down on President Qie''s neck. Wen Qinxi held Feng Xieling pulling him away but the brat had his teeth sinking deeper into his grandfather. Feng Xieling was much more powerful than his dad''s because he was abination of both of them so he couldtch on to his heart''s content. Maybe he was nning to bite his bad grandpa to death.


    "Sweety,e on..... let go. You can''t bite on dirty things," said Wen Qinxi after failing to pull Feng Xieling. Physical methods didn''t work so he had to resort to coaxing but the kid was so stubborn. I wonder where he got that from?


    Feng Xieling bit down even harder disobeying his dad. Wen Qinxi looked up to Qie Ranzhe seeking help just like a mom who uses dad''s name to get the kids to listen by saying, ''wait until your father gets home.''


    Qie Ranzhe understood what Feng Zi was getting at. If it were up to him he would have been encouraging Feng Xieling to bite down even harder but if he didn''t want to be celibate he had to support Feng Zi.


    In a roar he reprimanded Feng Xieling but as expected the kid didn''t budge. It was only after the third roar that he let go reluctantly. He transformed back to his human form and folded his arms his face full of grievances.


    Wen Qinxi hurried to wipe Feng Zi''s mouth that was painted red with President Qie''s blood. His little boy resembled a bloodthirsty baby vampire which didn''t settle well with him. No one expected Feng Xieling''s bite to be powerful enough to kill a grown dragon. Where Feng Xieling had been biting down at was where the man''s heart was located. President Qie''s life withered away due to ceaseless blood loss. This incident should have served as a warning to everyone that Feng Xieling is a force not to be reckoned with.

 Chapter 283: Third World: Bad Babysitters vs An Angry Dad

    Chapter 283: Third World: Bad Babysitters vs An Angry Dad


    Wen Qinxi''s hands were itching to spank that tiny butt for running straight into danger. The little boy was usually obedient. Even if he didn''t like something he would still do it because his dad said so but at the crucial moment the kid chose to be disobedient. Wen Qinxi angrily wiped all the blood away holding back the angry words at the tip of his tongue.


    His dad''s wiping motion was a bit painful but Feng Xieling dared notin. Feng Zi was seething with anger but dared not scold him. Feng Xieling kept his mouth shut afraid to breathe loudly lest it bes the spark to ignite the gas tank. Turns out it wasn''t him that lit the fuse but Airen and Machu who finally managed to reach the little monster that ran away. They just didn''t expect the kid actually reach his parents.


    As soon they saw the red-faced Feng Zi who was suppressing his rage they immediately halted while cursing themselves for wrong timing. "You two! Stop right there!" yelled Wen Qinxi handing the cloth to Feng Xieling. In a few strides, he caught up with them and threw a pathetic looking snowball due to the snow melting in the fight earlier on. "Is this what you call babysitting!.... You... get out of the way. I have already have a snowball with your name written on it," with thest part of the sentence directed at Machu who was bravely taking the hits for thedy.


    Airen who had been expecting a muddy snowball to dirty her clothes red at Machu with a piercing gaze. She couldn''t understand his actions. It''s just a muddy snowball for heaven''s sake. Like this two adults were scolded to high heavens as muddy snowballs flew all over the ce.


    Qie Ranzhe transformed back to his human form and crouched down in front of Feng Xieling who was watching the show with a hint of guilt.


    Father and son watched on as their most important person went on a rampage. "Your dad is too fierce, isn''t he?" said Qie Ranzhe wiping away the little bloodstain at the corner of his son''s lip. Just as he said that a muddy snowball that was seventy-five per cent mud uratelynded on Machu''s face making the two onlookers draw in a breath of cold air.


    It seemed Machu having mud on his face made Wen Qinxi''s fuming rage cool down by a few degrees. Actually, he didn''t me them for losing Feng Xieling. The kid was a cunning fox just like Qie Ranzhe which meant the two didn''t stand a chance especially when that kid was flying at light speed. Wen Qinxi walked over and grabbed Feng Xieling leading him to the facility. Being held with cold muddy hands Feng Xielingined. "Dad, your hands'' ar-," but he swallowed back the rest of his words when he was met with a vicious stare.


    "Go on, say something... I dare you," said Wen Qinxi but even Qie Ranzhe was afraid to say something what more Feng Xieling.


    With the death of President Qie, no one in the facility dared to challenge Qie Ranzhe''s authority. Having taken over smoothly, Qie Ranzhe sent them to retrieve his father and prepare for the burial. They might have had a rift between them, a rift greater than the great barrier rift but he was still his father and president. If it weren''t for the fact that his father came after his beloved he would carry on living his life furthest away from his estranged father. The two were like oil and water with no possibility of coexisting in the same territory.


    Qie Ranzhe had to go arrange a meeting with other world leaders and inform them of his father''s death but he hadn''t spent time with his lover so he followed him around like a lovestruck teenager. He helped Feng Zi take care of Feng Xieling from running a bath up until theyid him in bed. In all this, the general was patiently waiting for his turn to get Feng Zi''s attention. The two left Feng Xieling being guarded by both Airen and Machu. Machu being there was totally unnecessary but the man insisted sticking to Airen like glue.


    As soon as Feng Zi and Qie Ranzhe stepped out the room, Machu showed his true intentions. He leaned in close and whispered, "I took a muddy snowball for you, how about a reward?"


    Airen wanted to scoff but she restrained herself and said, "Sure," before leaning in to kiss his cheek. The wide-eyed Machu froze in ce as his entire cheek that had been gently touched by a rose petal turned red. By reward, he meant have frozen yoghurt in the cafeteriater. Who would have thought he would be misunderstood.


    "I, I... I will go guard out, outside," stammered Machu slowly getting up to run away but before he stepped out the room, Airen spoke,


    "Since I have kissed you, should I take responsibility for you?"


    That question copsed Machu''s three world views. He scurried out of the room with a face hot to the touch. This was too much stimtion for one day. Airen who had sessfully teased Machu chuckled in satisfaction. She found out that teasing Machu was incredibly satisfying thus the beginning of a new game titled ''How many times a day can Airen make Machu blush''.


    While Machu''s face was changing colours into different shades of pink and red, Wen Qinxi was being pressed against the wall by the big bad wolf who couldn''t get enough of his sweetness.


    Wen Qinxi weed this lustful intrusion with open arms. He had been looking forward to this for a very long time. The general''s insistent mouth parted Wen Qinxi''s soft lips eagerly giving a taste as though eating something sweet. A pleasurable sensation spread all over his body due to wild shivers coursing through his nerves making his knees weak. If it weren''t for Qie Ranzhe holding him in ce, he would have tumbled to the ground.


    Just when things were getting steamy, Qie Ranzhe reluctantly part from his lover''s warm lips and whispered in his ear saying, "Baby, I love you.... don''t ever leave me, okay?" with his hot breath brushing against Wen Qinxi''s skin sending a nice tingly feeling down his spine.


    Qie Ranzhe patiently waited for Feng Zi''s answer with his thumb rubbing against the pink lips that were slowly turning red. Their gazes met conveying deep feelings. There were obvious strong feelings of affection between them. Wen Qinxi answered seriously, "I love you too," but he purposefully avoided answering the question. How was he supposed to tell his sweetheart that they had to part ways and meet again in the next world?


    Like so, he chose to avoid making a promise he couldn''t keep. Lucky for him, Qie Ranzhe was simply too ted that he forgot about thetter half of his sentence. He drew Feng Zi into his embrace, hearts pounding in synchronicity. They loved each other so much and that''s all that mattered.


    Qie Ranzhe kissed the top of Feng Zi''s head and said, "I have to take care of something first. Wait for me, okay?" His voice deep yet soft, exuding a great amount of affection and pampering. Wen Qinxi nod his head as they parted despite knowing that it was time to go. With Qie Ranzhe meeting the world leaders, it would be good if the earth''s atmosphere is restored to normal as well. This would give him a foothold taking over as the new president bringing this world to a satisfactory ending.

 Chapter 284: Third World: The L-Word

    Chapter 284: Third World: The L-Word


    The excited Qie Ranzhe shot a silly smile at Feng Zi while rubbing the man''s cheek with his thumb. He lifted Feng Zi''s chin and nted a lingering soft kiss on his lover''s lips. This kind of kiss couldn''t be described as provocative or sensual but rather the type of kiss that expresses love, the love for the other person. This kiss didn''t need words to exin its meaning, the message was thoroughly conveyed at the point of contact.


    Wen Qinxi dazedly watched Qie Ranzhe exit the room with a beaming smile. He was instantly ridden with guilt. If it wasn''t because it was for Qie Ranzhe''s good he would have stayed. He didn''t want to go through the excruciating pain but for Qie Ranzhe he would do anything which is why he had to leave.


    With the general gone, Wen Qinxi left the room and went to wake up Feng Xieling. He didn''t know if he would ever see this cute dumpling ever again so despite himself he went over to see him onest time. When he got to the room, Machu was standing outside rather flustered, his face as red as a cherry. Wen Qinxi wanted to ask but stopped himself as he reached for the handle. It was Machu who spoke first asking, "Does Airen like me?"


    Wen Qinxi didn''t feel like inserting himself in their business but Machu had enlightened him in the past so he replied, "Airen is a serious person with a strong personality but if she''s teasing you to the point of turning that red then I did say... you have a chance," responded Wen Qinxi before turning the door handle to get inside the room.


    As expected, Feng Xieling was fast asleep probably dreaming about something pleasant. Airen was sitting on the other bed ying with her phone. When she saw Feng Zi she stood up and gave them some space but Wen Qinxi dropped a weird sentence. "Thank you so much Airen, thank you for everything you have done for me," said Wen Qinxi in a sincere tone.


    This statement had Airen vexed. She had known Feng Zi for a very long time and there was never any need for thanks between them. They took care of each other like a family. His words had her suspecting that this was serving as goodbye but how could that be? The enemies were dead and they had nothing else to worry about.


    While Airen was contemting the meaning of Feng Zi''s words outside, Wen Qinxi was stroking Feng Xieling''s hair hesitant. The boy was sleeping soundly and he didn''t have the heart to wake him up. Since he was officially bent, there was no way he was going to have his own kids. Not to say he had a problem with adoption but Feng Xieling was special to him even though he was just an NPC. This boy held a special ce in his heart.


    As though sensing his dad, Feng Xieling slowly opened his eyes and called out to the man who was sitting on his bed with red-rimmed eyes. "Dad, what''s wrong?"


    Wen Qinxi held back his tears and forced a sweet smile saying, "Nothing, nothing... I was just checking on you... you know dad loves you, right?" he said pausing for a while. He continued to rub Feng Xieling''s hair, his eyes brimming with tenderness.


    "Mn, I know. I love dad the most," replied Feng Xieling rubbing his eyes.


    Wen Qinxi smiled and slept beside Feng Xieling coaxing him back to sleep. The little dumpling was too tired so he fell back to sleep quickly.


    As soon as Feng Xieling slipped back intond, Wen Qinxi kissed his forehead before silently walking out of the room. He didn''t expect to find the two bonafide babysitters engaged in what could be confused as bullying. Machu whose head was lowered in between Airen''s arm and torso was having his fluffy head of hair rubbed vigorously by the assassin.


    Hearing the sound of the door close, the two of them paused their actions staring at Feng Zi in shock. Wen Qinxi felt likeughing but he couldn''tugh in front of them as it might affect Airen''s self-esteem so he pressed his lips in a thin line and suppressed hisughter before saying, "Carry on... don''t mind me," then slowly walked away. Airen wished the ground could open up and swallow her whole but unfortunately, it was just wishful thinking.


    While Airen was feeling so embarrassed, Wen Qinxi grabbed one of the scientists to the crystal chamber and asked, "Can you handle the extraction process by yourself?"


    The scientist was a rank below the head researcher so of course, he knew how to do it. It''s just that with the president gone he couldn''t understand why the so-called underworld boss would willingly sacrifice himself.


    "Yes, yes," he said but he went on to ask, "Why... though? I mean."


    Wen Qinxi wasn''t in the mood to deal with him and answer his questions so he said, "None of your business now start the machine."


    The scientist shut his mouth and obediently started the extraction process. The mechanical sound had Wen Qinxi startled with his palms sweating in nervousness. He did some breathing exercises before entering the machine. He hated it so much but he had to do this. Determined toplete the task, he gave the scientist a go-ahead sign and in a matter of seconds, a light beam descended upon his body making his eyes sting in pain.


    ***


    Feng Yu had left the three women wallowing in a pit of snakes for more than twenty-four hours. He expected them to be begging for mercy but as it turns out, they were all dead. He called out his right-hand man to exin this situation but it turns out, they had killed themselves out of agony. As to how they did that? Banging their heads against the concrete wall.


    At that Feng Yu shrugged his shoulders before calling Qie Ranzhe. He wanted to know if his son was okay which is why he called.


    When he called, Qie Ranzhe was busy addressing the world leaders so his call wasn''t answered. Qie Ranzhe finished his conference call thirty minutester and immediately returned Feng Yu''s call. While it was ringing, Airen came in a frenzy and asked, "Is Zi-ge with you?" while looking around for Feng Zi.


    Qie Ranzhe was confused by her question. Wasn''t Feng Zi in their room but before he could question her any further, Feng Yu picked up the call and said, "Is Ah-Zi okay? Can I speak to him?"


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t understand his question as well and said, "Of course, why wouldn''t he be okay?"


    The man on the other end of the phone sighed in relief and said, "Phew... I thought he was going to go through with the extraction process. Why would he sacrifice his life for this useless.....," the rest of the words Qie Ranzhe didn''t hear it as the both of them rushed over to the crystal chamber but they were toote.


    Feng Zi''s body had already been reduced to ash and Wen Qinxi was floating in the darkness crying out in pain.

 Chapter 285: Third World: End

    Chapter 285: Third World: End


    Everyone, big or small, has something they are afraid of and when that something happens to appear in front of them they can''t control their physical reaction towards it. But for a man, it would be especially detrimental if this happens in public. For Wen Qinxi it wasn''t in front of someone but his screams somehow permeated into the game room startling Xia Bai and Hei Bao.


    They still hadn''t figured out how to reopen themunication channel which had been barred by some kind of intrusion that wasn''t exactly a virus. They didn''t expect themunication channel would suddenly start up on it''s own. To top it all off, the first thing they heard was Wen Qinxi groaning in pain.


    "Qi-ge.... Qi-ge," called out Hei Bao with a pained expression, "get him out..... let''s get him out." This suggestion came about because Wen Qinxi wasn''t responding. They thought something terrible must have happened. If themunication channel was working then the log out sequence would probably be working as well.


    "Call the doc, I will start up the sequence," said Xia Bai while typing something on hisputer.


    While the two nerds were running about trying to get their superior out of this predicament, Wen Qinxi was struggling to cope with the pain. Aser beam had vaporized him extracting the precious crystal. The ordeal was already over but the pain was etched deep in his mind that he thought it wasn''t over yet.


    The system had to call his name multiple times to snap him out of it. Wen Qinxi who had been rolling around in pain finally stopped wailing and opened his eyes in a daze. As hey down in the darkness, Wen Qinxi wiped his forehead that wasced in sweat. He wanted to speak but he found it difficult as he struggled to breathe. It was then that he heard his co-workers panicking while running around like headless chickens.


    He had to put them at ease otherwise they might call an entire hospital over making a big issue out of nothing. Wen Qinxi cleared his dry throat and said in a raspy voice, "Hei Bao," but the nerd kept on panicking so he called out even louder, "Bao Bao! I am fine."


    The two nerds, one talking on the phone the other fighting with aputer, halted their actions staring at each other in vexation. Wasn''t this the guy who was screaming like he was dying?


    It was Xia Bai who broke the silence interrogating Wen Qinxi. "So why were you screaming like a woman inbour then?... Are you sure you are okay?"


    Wen Qinxi was still out of it so the system answered on his behalf. "The boss just went through a painful ordeal which is why he was screaming like that," but its answer was the least bit satisfying so Hei Bao patted his chest as though soothing himself and asked,


    "What kind of ordeal was that? You have no mercy Qi-ge..... oh, my poor heart."


    The system wanted to answer the question but Wen Qinxi''s expression had it hesitant. He would most definitely lose face if he told them what the pain was equivalent to on the pain index. Jolie knew Wen Qinxi''s thoughts but how could it miss out on interesting gossip so it wrote a message which Xia Bai saw immediately.


    System: I will tell youter_ XD it''s pretty funny_


    It so goes on to say you can teach AI plenty of things but not human emotions. This system wasn''t going to save his boss any face. Xia Bai raised a brow and awkwardly cleared his throat before asking, "Do you want to take a break? Since themunication channel is working now I think you can log out for a while."


    Wen Qinxi rubbed his forehead in frustration before agreeing to it. Dealing with Qie Ranzhe''s matters was extremely exhausting and a break would be nice. "Sure," he said but he wasn''t confident it would work.


    Xia Bai silently gestured to Hei Bao toe over. The young nerd had somewhat returned to normal but he was still massaging his chest as he obediently walked over. He sat on the swivel chair and started typing. Xia Bai felt the man''s difort so he reached out his hand and slowly massage Hei Bao''s chest with no reservations.


    Hei Bao could feel the warmthing from the man standing behind him which kinda felt nice so he suppressed a smile while typing away. But what happened next came by surprise. He felt a warm hand rubbing his chest causing his entire body to stiffen like an ironing board. It was quite soothing so he asked Xia Bai to put his hands under his t-shirt and rub his chest to avoid wrinkling his clothes.


    Xiao Bai who had been given a free pass hurriedly agreed rubbing his hands together to make them warmer before going in there. He thoroughly ate the man''s tofu in the name of soothing chest pains. He told himself to sent Wen Qinxi a red packetter for being the perfect wingman. He felt his throat dry when he ''identally'' caught sight of Hei Bao''s smooth pale skin from under the t-shirt. Eating tofu was great but it might have backfired as he felt his body heat up.


    If it weren''t for the loud notification due to the failure of the logout sequence, Xia Bai would have been stuck in an embarrassing situation by now. Xia Bai took out his hand from under Hei Bao''s t-shirt and leaned down with both of his arms enveloping Hei Bao on either side as he typed on the keyboard.


    Hei Bao felt a bit embarrassed with their posture but what was there to be shy about? They were both men and best friends at that so this must be normal, right? But he couldn''t understand why his face was so hot.


    This was what Machu walked in on having ditched his lunch ns after receiving Hei Bao''s panicked call. How was this an emergency? Did they call him over to feed him dog food? Sorry, he was a vegetarian.


    He was about to walk out when he heard Wen Qinxi asking, "Why is it taking so fuckin long?" This is when the good doctor knew themunication channel was back online.


    He strode over, his worry lines vanishing without a trace and asked, "Gecko... are you okay? You had me worried.... How are you feeling?"


    Hearing this nickname again, Wen Qinxi''s body stiffened vowing to have a talk with the doctor once he logged off. That nickname had to go. "I am fine, I just died in the third world and want to take a break," said Wen Qinxi feeling a bit down.


    Machu smiled and said, "Sure, I will take you out for some coffee and you can tell me all about it," before standing up to check on Wen Qinxi''s body in the capsule.


    "Mn, that would be nice," replied Wen Qinxi imagining himself taking a sip of an ice-cold mocha frappino. It had been so long since he had some. The thought of it made him salivate licking his dry lips.


    "Mocha frappino, right? Or maybe your tastes have changed since high school?" said Machu running a test checking Wen Qinxi''s physical condition.


    Wen Qinxi, "....."


    ''How the fuck does he know that?'' thought Wen Qinxi but before he could ask that question, themunication channel that was working perfectly fine a minute ago shut down without warning.


    Machu, "....."


    Two flirting nerds, "....."


    Wen Qinxi, "..."


    The system, "Hahahaha!!!!"

 Chapter 286: Fourth World: Wearing A Green Hat Like A Leprechaun

    Chapter 286: Fourth World: Wearing A Green Hat Like A Leprechaun


    That is to say, only Jolie knew what was happening. It hoped the CEO wouldn''t remember anything otherwise the good doctor will suffer the consequences. Machu dared to flirt with someone''s baby in public. The system sent a message on the game roomputer. Since it was addressed to Machu, Xia Bai reluctantly parted with Hei Bao and called Machu over.


    "What''s up?" asked Machu as he walked over cing his stethoscope around his neck.


    Hei Bao pointed at the screen and said, "I think Jolie is high on something." It was a gif of a flickering candle with Machu''s name written on it. These naive fools couldn''t catch the meaning of this gif but the system didn''t feel like rifying.


    Wen Qinxi who had just been screwed over by the game once more got so angry but he didn''t have time to vent out his frustrations when he was pulled into a new world on a whim.


    Disoriented he called out to Jolie. Lucky for him the system hadn''t ditched him. ''What the fuck happened now?'' he asked. His body felt like a ton of bricks with an excruciating migraine causing his head to throb.


    ''Boss, it seems you passed the third world. Huh?.... I really thought you wouldn''t pass. Anyway wee to the fourth world,'' said the excited system. Just as it said that a notification appeared in Wen Qinxi''s mind repeating what the system said.


    ''Congrattions onpleting the third world and wee to the fourth world.''


    The notification was apanied by fireworks but Wen Qinxi had no time to enjoy the shy disy. He struggled to open his eyes and when he finally did he was met by a well-lit room with the sunlight permeating through thece curtains. His eyes stung from the bright light so he covered his eyes with the back of his hand.


    He had once more entered the game with no inkling of who he was or which character he was ying so he asked the system, ''What character am I this time?''


    The system was about to enlighten him when an arm crept from behind his back and encircled his abdomen. The arm wasn''t muscr in the slightest. It was small and slender like a, like a_


    "Oh shit," cursed Wen Qinxi unconsciously kicking the poor woman off the bed. If he wasn''t awake before, he was awake now. "What the fuck!" he yelled his expression unsightly.


    The woman who had just been kicked out of bed slowly got off the ground rubbing her head in confusion. Her dishevelled hair was partially covering her face that all Wen Qinxi could see was a straight nose and slightly pouted lips. "Ah, Xin-ge? What was that for?" sheined in a coquettish tone. She was tightly clutching the white quilt covering her naked body.


    ''Jolie... what the fuck!'' asked a mortified Wen Qinxi. Why was his character in bed with a naked woman? ''Wait a minute,'' he thought slowly looking down terrified to know the answer. Turns out he was also naked.


    ''You better get the fuck out of there, fast..... oh shit! Sorry you are on your own,'' said the system before doing the usual disappearing act that Wen Qinxi was too familiar with.


    ''Wait, what?'' asked Wen Qinxi but as expected there was no response. Wen Qinxi put on the ck underwear on the floor and tossed the woman''s undergarments towards her. The woman didn''t seem pleased about being ignored so she tossed her bra away andined, "Xin-ge," brushing her hair backwards.


    Just as she was about to grab Su Xin, the hotel door was suddenly opened as Wen Qinxi''s stepped right into his worst nightmare. Qie Ranzhe had just walked-in on him lying in bed with a woman. Wen Qinxi didn''t know the exact situation but when he recalled that the system had told him to make a break for it, it meant either this woman or himself was involved with Qie Ranzhe.


    He sincerely hoped it was the former, at least he could y dumb and say that he didn''t know she was Qie Ranzhe''s girlfriend. This idea became wishful thinking because this entire time Qie Ranzhe was ring daggers at him. If that stare could kill he would long be a stiff corpse by now. Qie Ranzhe was clenching his fists not saying anything but he kept his eye on this professional heart breaker.


    Wen Qinxi just wanted to get dressed and obediently follow him but when did things in these worlds ever been that simple? The cannon fodder next to him had the balls to open her mouth. "You can''t force him to stay by your side..... just, divorce him already and let him go. We are together now," she said about to grasp Su Xin''s arm.


    Maybe if it was the old Su Xin, her touch would have been weed with open arms but this was Wen Qinxi so her hand was easily avoided. It was a cold-blooded rejection but this didn''t faze her as she carried on with her deration of love.


    As though the universe had a vendetta against him, another eyesore that had followed him in each previous world made a grand appearance. Zhao Huangzhi walked in and of course, berated him like he was the devil.


    The woman covered by the quilt didn''t hesitate to stand up for Su Xin yelling at Zhao Huangzhi. It was safe to say they had officially started a countdown to a proper catfight.


    "Is that the way to speak to your older sister..... so disrespectful? You better shut your slutty mouth otherwise I will beat you silly," said Zhao Huangzhi pointing at the woman. When Wen Qinxi took a closer look, he could finally see the resemnce. This was Zhao Huangzhi''s little sister and apparently, she likes Su Xin despite knowing about Qie Ranzhe.


    Being a slug man, how could Su Xin refuse? Wen Qinxi looked at Qie Ranzhe apologetically but Qie Ranzhe avoided his gaze.


    Zhao Huangzhi took the opportunity tofort the husband who was forced to wear a green hat like a leprechaun. "Let''s go Ran-ge. This piece of trash doesn''t deserve you. You will dirty your eyes," trying to hold Qie Ranzhe''s arm but Qie Ranzhe dodged and said,


    "Take him to the van," as he turned on his heels to leave. A group of brawny men wearing ck walked in and dragged the cheating husband out of the room in his underwear.


    Zhao Huangzhi caught up with Qie Ranzhe trying to console him but Qie Ranzhe wasn''t in the mood. He paused his steps and said, "Go back home. I will call you once I am done dealing with him," before taking a glimpse of Su Xin at the corner of his eye.


    Wen Qinxi who didn''t understand the meaning of ''dealing with him'' felt his heartache. He was too distraught to be embarrassed neither did he struggle. Like a sacrificialmb, he silently allowed himself to be dragged out of the hotel in his underwear.


    The brawny men were surprised by Su Xin''s calm demeanour considering his reaction in the past. This wasn''t the first time their boss caught his husband rolling in between the sheets with some hussy. But this was the first time Su Xin didn''t give them a hard time. If it weren''t for the troublesome Zhao Hua that was trying to free Su Xin, things would have gone smoothly.


    Zhao Hua fought with all her might loosening up her hotel gown in the process. One of the guards finally had enough and carried her back to the room tossing her in before locking the door. This was bound to be an interesting world.

 Chapter 287: Fourth World: Tying Down His Spouse

    Chapter 287: Fourth World: Tying Down His Spouse


    Qie Ranzhe brought about a new definition to the idiom tied down by literally tying down his spouse. Wen Qinxi was rudely hurled into a conspicuous ck van before the guard handcuffed him. Since he was still in his underwear the guard tossed a nket over and closed the van doors with a loud bang.


    Wen Qinxi was a bit disappointed seeing that Qie Ranzhe didn''t get in the same vehicle as him but this was probably for the best. Right now his status in Qie Ranzhe''s heart was low, even lower than an underling. He silently wrapped the nket over his body and sat down crossed legged leaning against the van wall. With a serene countenance, he slowly closed his eyes and decided to poke the cowardly system.


    This version of Su Xin had the two guards sitting at the front seat puzzled. They couldn''t help but conclude Su Xin was probably high on something. In the past, he would have been putting up a fight trying to escape. Qie Ranzhe had to recruit personnel from private special forces to retrieve him because he was hard to deal with. Even though these guards were also part of the team recruited from a private army they had prepared sedatives to inject Su Xin when he caused trouble. Who knew they didn''t have to use it.


    "Tsk, Tsk.... What a pity," said the man sitting in the passenger seat while ying with the syringe in his hand. The driver chuckled and nced over only to find the cuffed handsome gentleman gently swaying with the motion of the van, with his eyes closed.


    "Hahaha.... maybe Miss Zhao tired him outst night.... either way, it makes our job easier," said the driver as they turned left following the Maybach in front.


    Wen Qinxi who had been mocked wasn''t paying attention. He was starting a fight with the system for not warning him in time. Now he was walked out of the hotel making a shameful public spectacle of himself. He swore he saw some women take pictures of him before he entered the van. How embarrassing.


    ''Boss, you are overthinking this. These are NPCs so it doesn''t matter. Why are you being a stickler about this? It''s not like you showed your junior brother in public. Imagine if that happened.... hahaha your bby meat stick would have been pping right in front of thosedies..... hahaha....wait, wait, boss, you would have officially be a streaker,'' said the system almost rolling on the ground withughter.


    This was only an appetizer, the system wasn''t done with him yet. ''Too, too bad...hahaha... most streakers debut at sporting events so you wouldn''t be as famous.''


    ''Are you done?'' asked Wen Qinxi gritting his teeth. How he wished the system had a physical form so he could smack it.


    ''No, no, I am not done.... your junior brother would definitely get more likes. You are really packing down there....pfft, hahahahaha.... I am sorry, I am sorry. I think I am done..... hahaha no I am not, hahahaha,'' said the system having a goodugh at Wen Qinxi''s expense.


    Wen Qinxi who couldn''t stand it anymore blurted out, ''Fuck off,'' in anger. He was clearly infuriated so the system reeled it in and decided to reserve its jokes for the boys in the game room.


    ''Okay let''s get down to business.... Here are the game files,'' said the system as a bucket load of information filled Wen Qinxi''s mind.


    The game files were thick and heavy but a summarised version was provided. This world was a modern setting and Qie Ranzhe in this world ran an organisation called Hei Xue. An organization worthy of its name because its illegal businesses kept the city running smoothly even when the rest of the country was going through a recession.


    These kinds of illegal organizations were an unspoken rule among the officials. As long as they kept a low profile and there wasn''t a turf war the officials looked the other way. Hei Xue''s power and influence expanded greatly after Qie Ranzhe took over from his uncle.


    His ambitions were great to the point of forming an underworld alliance were a lot of criminal organizations fell under Hei Xue with him standing at the top of the pyramid as king. He was met with resistance but like fish out of water, their opposition was futile. Most criminal organizations were willing to work under Qie Ranzhe''s wing that is until he came up with a set of rules restricting certain markets.


    He barred human trafficking, protection fees and limited the kinds of drugs to be sold in the ck market. Instead, he encouraged criminal organisations to invest in restaurants, energy, casinos etc almost whitewashing the underworld. Though reluctant the crime bosses agreed but conceding didn''t mean they were satisfied. He undoubtedly had enemies. This meant he suffered multiple assassination attacks with one of them ultimately leading to his death after being betrayed by his sworn brother, Kai Zi.


    So how did Su Xin factor in? Su Xin was a top tier thug, the son of Su Long the leader of a middle-level criminal organization known as Angel Skull.


    Su Long was one of the leaders who weren''t too pleased with Qie Ranzhe but hid it well. Since he was friends with Qie Ranzhe''ste uncle, he somehow convinced him to employ Su Xin but in reality, Su Xin was nted as a spy.


    All he had to do was gain Qie Ranzhe''s trust and get his hands on ssified information as well as Qie Ranzhe''s itinerary but things didn''t go as expected.


    Qie Ranzhe took a liking to Su Xin appointing him as his third inmand. Just when things were looking up for Su Xin it all turned sour in an instant as the saying goes the higher you climb the harder you fall. Su Xin got a little enthusiastic at a pharming party and among the cocktail of pills he took something he shouldn''t have.


    Unfortunately for him instead of getting down and dirty with a beautiful goddess he seduced his boss who had juste from a night out of heavy-duty drinking. Because Qie Ranzhe had taken a liking to this straight man, he easily epted what happened and the two chose to pretend as nothing happened.


    That is until a certain someone grew a belly that could easily be mistaken for bloating. Thinking it was a tumour of some sort, Su Xin was admitted into the hospital only to discover he was a hermaphrodite and he was pregnant. Under his father''s influence, Su Xin got married to Qie Ranzhe to expand Angel Skull''s influence.


    Su Xin tolerated Qie Ranzhe for a while but as soon as that kid was out, he discovered his father had revoked his right to inherit Angel Skull while secretlybelling him as a freak. As to how he found out, it was because his loud mouth cousin who was meant to take his position blurted it out. He not only did that but shared it to the entire underworld that Su Xin was a freak that got pregnant.


    The mighty thug fell from grace and decided to be unfilial. He ran away multiple times partying and having sex like it was the end of days across the world. For the thirteen years, he ran away twenty times and was caught inpromising positions eighteen times.

 Chapter 288: Fourth World: Consolation Prize

    Chapter 288: Fourth World: Constion Prize


    By the tenth time he ran away, Su Xin was cut off financially by his father. Running out of his savings he began to depend on his sugar mommies for money. Because of his ruined reputation, no one was willing to hire him. The team members that he always worked with, fell on tough times as well and couldn''t help him. Which exined why he was with Zhao Hua in the hotel. She not only threw herself at him but offered to get him out of the country.


    Thus the cycle Wen Qinxi was caught in. Su Xin seemed pitiful and his ending wasn''t great. He was gunned down after sleeping with a mafia boss''s Goomah (mistress) ten years down the line. Well, that was obviously not going to happen because Wen Qinxi wasn''t interested in sleeping with someone''s mistress or anyone else for that matter.


    His work was definitely cut out for him in this world. He wasn''t even sure he would be able to win Qie Ranzhe after all that. It''s a miracle Su Xin''s man parts weren''t cut off.


    ''So.... Qie Xieling is here as well?'' asked Wen Qinxi as the van turned a corner before entering an aviation terminal for private jets.


    ''He is, he''s thirteen but don''t expect much. The kid has a repressed personality,'' said the system. It wanted to give Wen Qinxi more details but the vehicles suddenly stopped in front of a luxurious jet. The guards opened the van doors and led Wen Qinxi into the jet before pushing him into a seat furthest from Qie Ranzhe.


    Earlier on, he passed Qie Ranzhe as the guards shoved him along the aisle but the stoic man didn''t even spare him a nce.


    Wen Qinxi swallowed his saliva drawing back the tears that were right at the brink of falling out. His heart felt a piercing pain being ignored like this. He was about to buckle his seat belt when a guard tossed a pair of jeans and a t-shirt as per Qie Ranzhe''s instructions. "Put this on, the bathroom is over there," said the guard while removing Su Xin''s handcuffs.


    Wen Qinxi went into the bathroom and put on his clothes that were a perfect fit. He desperately wanted to take a shower asst night''s events were still lingering all over his body. With his long slender fingers, he reached out to turn on the sensor-activated tap and cupped his hands to wash his face.


    It was only after towelling his face dry did he get to look in the mirror. He now understood why women flocked toward Su Xin. The man was a male god carved in extreme detail by the heavens. His cherry plump lips and almond-shaped eyes left one yearning for more. It wasn''t only his face but his body that drove women nuts.


    Wen Qinxi ran his wet fingers into his hair and made it look a tad bit presentable before walking out of the bathroom.


    The same guard handed him white sneakers before pushing him towards his seat. The man couldn''t help but take a second nce at this handsome freak of nature. If he had half of Su Xin''s handsome features he would have had a long queue of women waiting upon him.


    Wen Qinxi didn''t mind him. He settled into his seat before putting on his shoes. While he had his head down, Qie Ranzhe stole a glimpse through his peripheral vision. He had long gotten over Su Xin especially after he found out he was a spy. After delivering Qie Xieling, Su Xin ran away. It was then that Qie Ranzhe decided to let him go but who would have expected his son to keep asking for Su Xin.


    He had braced himself to be a single parent but because he often travelled for business, Qie Xieling was mostly alone and he wouldn''t stop asking for Su Xin. This is why he chased after Su Xin to try and appease Qie Xieling but the same thing kept happening over and over again. He wanted to break the cycle and exined to his son that Su Xin didn''t want to be here but Qie Xieling begged him to bring Su Xin onest time. Qie Xieling nned on spending summer vacation with Su Xin and promised never to ask after him again.


    This is why he kept chasing after Su Xin like a heartbroken person who couldn''t let go. At least that''s what the rest of the underworld thought.


    While Qie Ranzhe was letting Qie Xieling know that he was bringing Su Xin via WeChat, Wen Qinxi who had just finished buckling up was soon approached by an enthusiastic air hostess who was passing along hot towels. When she met Sun Xin''s eyes, she felt her knees weaken, her ears turning crimson.


    Qie Ranzhe was handsome by his stern expression made him unapproachable but Su Xin was a different breed, handsome and friendly. "Sir, would you like something to drink? I can bring it for you soon after takeoff," she said with a shy smile that not only the guards noticed but also Qie Ranzhe. He raised a brow scoffing internally. As expected, the frivolous man was back at it again before even washing away the lewd fluids from having a spring night with Zhao Hua.


    Wen Qinxi who didn''t know that he had been misjudged smiled at her and said, "one mocha frappino please." Because of the unfortunate incident, Wen Qinxi couldn''t leave the game and take a break but at least he could have his favourite beverage. A constion prize, if I must say.


    Thedy smiled and shook her head in agreement and walked away. The guards secretly ced their bets on how long it would take for Su Xin to get her number.


    The private jet soon took to the skies and the mocha frappino was soon delivered.


    As expected, the tissue paper had tiny scribbles of her number with a heart drawn at the end. Wen Qinxi raised a brow and immediately stopped her before saying, "Thanks but there is no need," handing back the tissue paper. She took a step forward feeling embarrassed but that wasn''t the worst of it. Wen Qinxi added, "Oh and may I please have a new one. Thanks."


    Air hostess, "WTF"


    Guards, "...."


    Wen Qinxi didn''t give a rat''s arse what they thought and dazedly enjoyed his frappino like an addict after four months of sobriety. The frappino seemed to have a cebo effect because the exhausted Wen Qinxi fell asleep right after without the slightest vignce. He had been through so much shit these couple of hours and needed the rest.

 Chapter 289: Fourth World: Held Hostage

    Chapter 289: Fourth World: Held Hostage


    Wen Qinxi didn''t expect Qie Ranzhe to do him dirty like this. The sweet mocha frappino was undoubtedly spiked with sedatives. He didn''t know how long he was asleep for but when he woke up he was no longer in the private jet. His body felt heavy with a throbbing headache that hurt, even more, each time he tried to raise his head.


    He managed to open his slothful eyes with great difficulty. The bright light from the curtains made his eyes hurt so he quickly closed them with his arm covering his face.


    After much effort, he finally managed to fully open his eyes to check out the room he was currently in. The room design was far from what he was used to. Everything about the room screamed old Victorian home especially the interior design and furniture. He couldn''t make out where he was exactly, not that it mattered.


    It was then that he felt how ufortable his body was. He was still in the same clothes as before and the person who helped him to bed didn''t even bother removing his shoes. His nose caught a whiff of an unpleasant scent so he sniffed around to find the source. After sniffing his armpits, his expression turned grimly. "Ah... smells so fuckin disgusting," he said to himself looking around. He was thinking of going out to look for the bathroom so he could scrub himself clean. That is when he noticed a second door.


    This room was most likely ensuite so he mustered up some strength and hopped off the bed. Just as he stood up he heard the sound of a chain rattling and dragging on the floor. Puzzled, he looked down searching for the source. His heart shattered to pieces as his expression sank when he saw a silver chain on his right ankle. "What the fuck!" he yelled as he pulled on the chain curious to find the other end. It turns out the chain was the length of two standard size doors which was approximately four meters.


    This meant his mobility was limited to this room and possibly two steps out the door. Wen Qinxi felt likeughing in anger. Qie Ranzhe was really poking at his bottom line in this world. Wen Qinxi angrily mmed the chain on the floor and sprawled on the bed with his arms spread wide open. He had no phone and he was chained up. A typical hostage situation.


    One p alone wouldn''t be enough to satiate his anger. The only thing that would make him feel better would be making Qie Ranzhe standstill as he fired a paintball gun at him. Either that or a dunk tank full of worms better yet leeches. He was going to go full fear factor on this crazy boss when they get out of the game.


    Imagining Qie Ranzhe sitting at the top of a dunk tank awaiting his inevitable date with some leeches, Wen Qinxi smiled foolishly before dragging his chain along to take a hot shower. Good thing the bathroom was spacious otherwise he didn''t know how he was going to manoeuvre around with a chain.


    Feeling refreshed, Wen Qinxi walked out with a bath towel wrapped around his lower body and searched the drawers for some clothes. While he was looking through the drawers packed with monotonous clothes he heard the sound of the door click open.


    Curious, he turned around to see who was nice enough to visit him. The door opened a small crack as a fluffy head of hair peeped through the door staring at the bed. Wen Qinxi smiled watching the thirteen-year-old boy who was obviously looking for him.


    Qie Xieling''s face sank when he didn''t see Su Xin on the bed. These past two days, he came over four times and each time he would find Su Xin in bed sound asleep. He couldn''t understand why an adult slept so much so he could onlye backter.


    But this time Su Xin wasn''t on the bed. Thinking the man had run off again, his face paledpletely unaware that Su Xin was standing on the other side of the room watching him with great interest.


    Qie Xieling was a tad bit panicked so he walked in to look for his dad like a kid ying hide and seek. What was funny is that he even checked under the bed and table which waspletely illogical. How can a grown man over 1.85 meters fit under a table?


    Wen Qinxi snickered while watching this silly child. Qie Xieling finally realised that there was another section in this room that he didn''t check which was the bathroom. With that in mind, he turned on his heel about to check the bathroom when he was met by a glistening set of eyes staring at him. Qie Xieling froze in ce his face changing colours faster than a chameleon. It turned pink, white then pink again with his body rooted to the ground unable to move.


    "Looking for something?" asked Wen Qinxi with a tender smile that startled Qie Xieling.


    Instead of responding, Qie Xieling ran out of the room and mmed the door shut with a loud bang. Wen Qinxi couldn''t hold back hisughter as he took out one of the many white t-shirts from the drawer and put it on. Even the pants were of the same colour and kind. ck pants with snaps all the way down the pant leg. It made him feel like a convict who could only wear the same type of clothes each day.


    Wen Qinxi sighed as he put on thefy cks thinking at least he could hang out with Qie Xieling. With that kid around it didn''t seem so lonely. As soon as he was done getting dressed, he was interrupted by a knock on the door. The person on the other side didn''t even bother waiting for him to invite them in.


    When he saw who it was, Wen Qinxi almost yelped out in horror. It was the ugliest woman Wen Qinxi had ever seen, dressed in a housekeeper uniform. Wen Qinxi always believed that there was no such thing as an ugly woman, to him, every woman is beautiful in their own way but nanny McPhee over here was quite unsightly. God, even nanny McPhee turned beautiful when the kids behaved which he seriously doubted would happen to this woman.


    What he didn''t know was that a certain someone had the female staff reced by the most heinous looking women to prevent any shenanigans happening between Su Xin and the female staff under Qie Ranzhe''s roof. The job description must have been unique. Candidates must be skilled at housework but as ugly as blobfish.


    It seemed she was also paid to be rude to him because she didn''t respond to his polite greeting. She instead carelessly tossed a te of food on the table and locked the door on her way out. Her attitude made him hesitate to eat the meal ced in front of him.


    He wouldn''t put it past her to spit in his food. Dinner was nothing special with too few pieces of meat but Wen Qinxi didn''tin as he sat down on the floor with his te on the coffee table. He ran his fingers through his hair and casually reached for the remote. He might as well entertain himself.

 Chapter 290: Fourth World: Doing Homework With Dad

    Chapter 290: Fourth World: Doing Homework With Dad


    Like this, one week went by and Qie Xieling didn''t make his appearance. Well, he did show up only that it was in the middle of the night when Su Xin was fast asleep. Each night he would squat in front of Su Xin and watch his dad''s sleeping face. This was the only way he could see his estranged father as he didn''t dare to face the man while he was awake.


    Wen Qinxi naturally didn''t know anything about this so it took him by surprise on the morning of the eight-day when he woke up only to find Qie Xieling sleeping on the floor right next to him. Out of concern he picked up the sleeping kid and tucked him into bed before heading to the bathroom to wash up. He had been wondering why the little scamper who had eagerlye looking for him on the first day had suddenly disappeared. It turns out the little stalker wasing over at night.


    Unfortunately for Qie Xieling, he identally slept and got caught. By the time Qie Xieling woke up, it was already past nine with the hot sun up in the sky. At first, he had no idea where he was, gazing around with a quizzical expression. Once he saw Su Xin sitting on the floor while sipping on a hot cup of tea with his eyes fixed on the television screen the childish face turned pale nervously biting his lower lip. He had been caught which meant he couldn''t do it anymore. He couldn''t see Su Xin anymore. Feeling depressed, he lowered his head filled with an indescribable emotion.


    His rtionship with Su Xin was almost non-existent. In the past, Su Xin would go as far as scold him for no reason whenever he came to see him. Which is why he only had the confidence toe over at night. And without warning, he would wake up one day and Su Xin would have disappeared. This is why Qie Ranzhe chained Su Xin this time so that the man wouldn''t run away before the summer vacation was over.


    "Awake?" asked Wen Qinxi with a beaming smile drawing Qie Xieling back to earth.


    Qie Xieling got off the bed while fixing his dishevelled hair with his fingers heading for the door. "Mn," replied Qie Xieling in an icy tone but just as he reached the door he heard Su Xin say,


    "Come over here. I need your help with something." Qie Xieling''s back stiffened wondering what Su Xin wanted from him. He hesitated for a minute but when he turned around and saw that radiant smile on Su Xin''s face his expression softened. He walked over cautiously and asked, "What is it?" with a hint of irritation in his voice.


    ''Oh shit! Burn!!..... Boss, you got burnt real good,'' said the system that seemed to have been silently enjoying the show.


    ''Fuck off!'' said Wen Qinxi while thinking, ''like father like son.'' Qie Xieling most likely got that from Qie Ranzhe. Cut-throat and ruthless with no mercy. So Savage.


    "Can you help me get out of this?" asked Wen Qinxi while cing his right leg on the table showing the chain wrapped around his ankle.


    The two people stared at each other with either of them thinking about different things. Qie Xieling was thinking Su Xin wanted to use him to escape while Wen Qinxi was thinking this chain was too itchy, he just wanted it off.After a minute of silence, Qie Xieling finally spoke, "Help me with my homework for three days and I will help you find the key."


    Why did Qie Xielinge up with such a deal? It was because he was thinking if he can''t spend summer vacation with Su Xin, he might as well get something out of it. For a kid like him, homework is the only thing he could think of. At school, other kids did homework with their parents andtheir dads and moms would sign on their work after checking it. Because his daddy was never around, the steward had to sign his homework making him feel out of ce. This exins why he picked doing homework with Su Xin in exchange. Unfortunately for him, he didn''t know that parents did more than homework with their kids.


    Wen Qinxi who was busy scratching the skin under the chain paused in his tracks and raised his head to look at Qie Xieling with a puzzled expression. ''Homework? What the..."


    "You don''t want?" asked Qie Xieling proudly raising his chin. He would help Su Xin remove the chain despite the risk. His daddy wasn''t around so he didn''t have to worry about getting into trouble.


    Wen Qinxi who was about to lose the deal of a lifetime said, "Uh, uh wait... I will take it. I promise I won''t run away ever again, cross my heart and hope to die," while drawing an invisible cross on his heart.


    Qie Xieling squinted his eyes, his expression saying ''you think I am stupid''. Three days worth of homework was enough for him, after that he would forget he ever had a dad.


    Three hourster, the door of the room was opened as a small minion walked in with a stack of books. The bored Wen Qinxi was so thrilled that he could barely hide the excitement on his face. The only other thing that he loved apart fromputers was studying especially arithmetics.


    He rubbed his hands in excitement looking at the study materialid out on the table. His reaction was so extreme that even Qie Xieling noticed. If Su Xin had a tail it would have been wagging right now.


    Wen Qinxi noticed Qie Xieling staring at him with a befuddled look so he asked, "What are you waiting for? Chop chop..... time to study."


    Qie Xieling shook his head and brushed it off. He couldn''t help but think Su Xin banged his head on something making him lose his mind. The two started working with one kid writing it down while the grown-up corrected him. While Qie Xieling was focused on the corrections, Wen Qinxi curiously opened the boy''s exercise book looking through his past work. Wen Qinxi was stupefied. Qie Xieling always got total scores so why were they doing this? He didn''t need someone to check his homework because he was a genius.


    His lips pressed in a thin line, Wen Qinxi held the book up and flipped it over. Seeing Qie Xieling was too focused on his work, Wen Qinxi coughed to draw his attention and said, "Need help with homework, huh?"


    Qie Xieling who had been caught tried to grab the book back but Wen Qinxi lifted his arm high that the little shorty couldn''t reach.


    His had lowered, Qie Xieling finally said, "You don''t have to do it with me if you don''t want," nervously chewing on his pen.


    Seeing his dejected look, Wen Qinxi sighed and rub his hair saying, "Who said I won''t do it with you? I''m just proud of my little genius."


    Qie Xieling who had just been patted like a puppy was so happy but he didn''t dare show it as he pretended to focus on his work.

 Chapter 291: Fourth World: Messing With Daddys 3D Printer

    Chapter 291: Fourth World: Messing With Daddy''s 3D Printer


    With two great minds hard at work, it''s only inevitable that they would butt heads. It didn''t take long for Wen Qinxi and Qie Xieling to argue over how to solve problems in his workbook. They agreed with each other for the most part, the problem was when Wen Qinxi tried to change tedious forms into short and simple solutions.


    When this happened, Qie Xieling would say, "But that''s what my teacher said?"


    Once those words escaped Qie Xieling''s mouth Wen Qinxi would scratch his hair in frustration and say, "The answer is the same. I am just showing you a shorter route to get to the moon... look, if your teacher says to get to the moon you have to circle the twice would you do it when you know you can just go straight for it without going around in circles?"


    This was the exact same analogy he used on Wen Danzhe when he used to help him with his homework. It was only that his little brother was less stubborn whenpared to Qie Xieling.


    Today was no different, the two were arguing over homework again but this time it was over a school essay. Wen Qinxi read through Qie Xieling''s well-written essay titled my summer vacation. At a first nce, there was nothing wrong with the essay but down the line, the details got so explicit detailing how his dad always runs away so his daddy had to chain him so they spent their summer vacation doing homework.


    Wen Qinxi resolutely took a red pen and crossed out the entire report to Qie Xieling''s dismay. The kid tried to get his essay back but his dad scrunched up the piece of paper and ate it.


    Qie Xieling, "...."


    Kids in his ss had used excuses like ''my dog ate my homework'' which was unbelievable so who would believe him if he said that his dad ate his homework. No one in their right mind would believe it.


    "Fine..... if you are that hungry then eat it. I will just write another one," said Qie Xieling ring at Su Xin who looked like a hamster stuffing both his cheeks with his homework. Once he said this, Qie Xieling took another piece of paper and he was about to write the essay again when a hand was pped on top of the paper with a loud bang.


    "Mm whait, I wil-ll helphu you," said Wen Qinxi with his mouth stuffed with Qie Xieling''s essay.


    Qie Xieling creased his brows staring at this weirdo of a father. "Huh?" he asked looking puzzled.


    Wen Qinxi lifted his index finger gesturing for him to wait then stood up to go to the bathroom. After spitting out whatever was left of the essay, he walked back out and said, "I will help you.... Summer vacation has just begun, how about you leave the essay for thest few weeks of the holidays. I will give you material to write," before wiping his mouth with the back of his hand.


    Qie Xieling wanted to say, "Aren''t you executing your escape n today," but he shut his mouth. Since he still had two and a half months before the vacation ends, he decided to leave the essay forter. For the rest of the afternoon, he finished all his mathematics assignments.


    As soon as he was done, he heaved a long sigh and said, "I think daddy left with the key soooooo... should I get pliers or something?" One look at his face and you could tell he was dejected but he had already promised Su Xin. These past three days were amazing making it all worth it. At least he could now say he had shared memories with his dad that didn''t involve getting scolded or rejected.


    The excited Wen Qinxi leaned over with a twinkle in his eye. yfully tapping the table he asked, "Would you like us to make our own key?"


    Qie Xieling didn''t quite understand what Su Xin meant but seeing how enthusiastic his dad was, he couldn''t help but nod his head. Seeing Qie Xieling agree, Wen Qinxi smiled and took out a piece of paper.


    Curious, Qie Xieling leaned in to see what his dad was drawing. Even then he still couldn''t make out what Su Xin was doing so he asked, "What are you drawing?"


    Wen Qinxi took a closer look at the keyhole on the chain and said, "I am drawing a skeleton key," before taking a ruler out of Qie Xieling''s pencil case, "or what they call a master key."


    "So you will be able to unlock any door?" asked Qie Xieling his eyes open wide in astonishment. He was thinking about how excellent it would be to have such a skill. Now he could finally take a look at the forbidden closet drawer his daddy always kept locked. This was one of the few things that Qie Xieling had inmon with other kids, curiosity.


    Almost every kid has that one ce in the house they are forbidden to touch, a ce or drawer they fantasise of opening. The more they are forbidden the greater the urge to open it and reveal its secrets. Thrilled, he leaned in closer eager to learn.


    Wen Qinxi looked down at the boy who seemed eager to learn and smiled. He didn''t know he was being used to open something forbidden. In under an hour, he had drawn the perfect dimensions and detailed instructions. After that, he exined to Qie Xieling each step in operating the 3D printer in Qie Ranzhe''s office.


    It turns out Qie Ranzhe had a 3D printer ording to Su Xin''s memory. This wasn''t purely for fun or consumerism. This piece of equipment was used to print untraceable 3D guns for extreme circumstances especially when he needed someone to disappear without it being traced back to his organisation. Who knew his son and estranged husband would use this to their advantage.


    Qie Xieling paid close attention to Su Xin''s instructions and scurried out of the room to try it out. Sure enough, the boy got a hang of it aftering back three times to ask when he got stuck. Maybe it was because Qie Xieling was a smart NPC that hepleted the task. When the key finished printing, Qie Xieling came back his face brimming with excitement.


    He wanted to print other things so he ran over with the key and handed it over to his dad after making the man promise they would go print other things after this. Wen Qinxi also wanted to mess around with a 3D printer so he agreed while unlocking the chain.


    In a few twists and turns a clicking sound was heard as the chain unlocked with ease. As soon as he was free, Qie Xieling checked if the coast was clear and immediately grabbed his dad''s hand leading him to his daddy''s office at the end of the corridor. The two people sessfully snuck into the office and printed to their heart''s content.


    They printed everything from a cute cat to a miniature Goku figurine. The two were having so much fun that they even went as far as finishing the fment in the 3D printer. This officially ended their printing escapades so Wen Qinxi erased the digital trace that they messed with the 3D printer and snuck back to the bedroom once more.

 Chapter 292: Fourth World: Lin Lins Abandonment Issues

    Chapter 292: Fourth World: Lin Lin''s Abandonment Issues


    Qie Xieling was so happy that he put away the evidence inside a shoebox and hid it in his walk-in closet before going downstairs for dinner. Spending time with Su Xin seemed to have restored his childlike innocence with a beaming smile that hadn''t been seen on his face for a very long time. He couldn''t wait for tomorrow so he could do more fun things with Su Xin. Filled with high expectations, he closed his eyes only to have his heart shattered the very next morning.


    He woke up earlier than usual and immediately ran over to Su Xin''s room right after washing up. To his surprise, Su Xin wasn''t in his room. Panicked with his eyes blurred with tears, Qie Xieling began to frantically search for Su Xin attracting the attention of the security guards and maids.


    The usually obedient young master was throwing a fit crying while running around the mansion. No one could barely make out what he was saying but they could easily read the situation. This kid normally kept to himself, silent not causing trouble but there was one person who could make him cry like this. The professional heart breaker, Su Xin.


    Everyone went in a frenzy searching for Su Xin but they couldn''t find him. The guards couldn''t figure out how Su Xin left the property without being noticed. The search extended beyond the property but no one thought of looking in the kitchen specifically in the food pantry.


    Wen Qinxi was looking through the avable ingredients with the door shut that he didn''t know that it was like a war zone outside. Coincidentally, Qie Xieling walked in the kitchen sniffling while calling his daddy.


    Qie Ranzhe was a thousand kms away taking care of some thugs who dared sell drugs in his city when he received a phone call from his son. The customized Pikachu ring tone was especially incongruous in this situation. The blooded crime boss and his underlings couldn''t help but stare at each other in confusion. Machu who had been busy swinging a bat at the crime boss had to stop midair while staring at his boss who was seated on the couch.


    Reaching into his pocket, Qie Ranzhe took out his phone while cing his index finger on his lip gesturing for the criminals to stop their whimpers and groans. Machu also put down the bat and took out a handkerchief to wipe away the blood.


    On the third ring, Qie Ranzhe answered the phone while crossing his legs exuding an arrogant ambience but his voice was especially soft when he spoke to Qie Xieling. "Missing daddy already?" he asked but he was met by Qie Xieling''s sniffles and sobs. Anxious he asked, "What is it? Tell daddy who bullied you?"


    "Wuwuwuwu, it''s, it''s Su Xin. He, he.... ah," cried Qie Xieling but his sobs abruptly stopped when he saw Su Xining out of the kitchen pantry with a bunch of stuff. Qie Xieling who had just thought he had been abandoned a minute ago, cut the call with no exnation and used the perpetrator with swollen eyes.


    "Where, where were you? You left me...."


    Wen Qinxi was at a loss of words faced by the sweet munchkin staring at him with bloodshot eyes. Distressed, Wen Qinxi put the stuff on the counter and ran over wiping away Qie Xieling''s tears.


    "I am sorry, I am so sorry.... don''t cry, okay? Look, dad was just trying to find ingredients to make some fudge together," he exined as he embraced Qie Xieling. His heart was torn apart when he saw this kid crying because he thought he had been abandoned. Su Xin had his own selfish reasons to run away but Wen Qinxi would never do that.


    "Lin Lin, don''t cry. Didn''t I promise to never leave you?... here have this," said Wen Qinxi taking out the key for his chain. He grabbed twine from under the sink and cut it before hanging the key on it. He then hung it around Qie Xieling''s neck like a pendant.


    Qie Xieling looked down at the key hanging around his neck while nervously biting his index finger. "Every night I will lock the chain around my ankle and you wille to unlock it for me every morning. Is that okay?"


    Wen Qinxi hated the chain but to reassure Qie Xieling, he was willing to do anything. He didn''t want the kid to continue down this path having abandonment issues. Qie Xieling was tongue-tied and could only nod his head.


    "Now, let''s go wash your face first then will make some fudge. How about that?" he asked before leading the little ancestor to the first-floor bathroom. It''s a pity the boy had grown so much that Wen Qinxi couldn''t pick him up.


    It was then that the guards and maids saw the two holding hands looking harmonious. Frozen in ce, they didn''t know what to do. Su Xin was supposed to be chained in his bedroom so what was this situation? Annoyed by all the stares, Qie Xieling said, "What are you all staring at? You can go..... I want to hang out with my dad alone."


    Wen Qinxi almost wanted to spank this kid for being rude. He could only smile apologetically as he gently pulled the boy up the stairs.


    Maybe it was because Qie Xieling had sharing issues or that he wanted to get into some mischief with his dad like yesterday that he had to chase away these prying eyes. Whatever the reason, he didn''t want them around. While going up the stairs, Qie Xieling couldn''t shake the feeling that he forgot something. He brushed it off thinking he will remember it if it''s important.


    It was actually super important. Because he left his phone behind, Qie Ranzhe kept calling non-stop. When the phone went straight to voicemail, he got off the couch followed by three loud shots. Bang! Bang! Bang!


    "ytime is over, let''s head out," said Qie Ranzhe handing the gun over as he left the room his heart feeling anxious. He swore once he gets his hands on Su Xin, he was going to rip him to shreds for bullying his cub.


    It would be best if Su Xin had sessfully ran away for his own good because this papa bear wasn''t going to spare him. Machu who could guess what happened instructed some men to clean up before following Qie Ranzhe to the helipad. In less than five minutes, the helicopter took off heading for the small ind where he left his son for the summer vacation. He had chosen this ind country as it wasn''t easy for Su Xin to escape but it turns out he had underestimated him.

 Chapter 293: Fourth World: Making Fudge With Dad

    Chapter 293: Fourth World: Making Fudge With Dad


    One of the ways parents bond with their kids these days is by cooking or baking together. Research shows that it helps strengthen their bond and create lifelong memories and it seemed like this bachelor of a nerd was well aware of it. After getting bent by the male god, he was fairly certain he won''t have kids of his own so he decided to live out the experience of being a father with Qie Xieling.


    After washing Qie Xieling''s face clean, the two head to the kitchen and ate breakfast before weighing out ingredients for banana cream fudge. The maid and two bodyguards stood by the door watching Su Xin and Qie Xieling crushing chocte cookies in a ziplock bag with a rolling pin. Su Xin was patiently guiding Qie Xieling on how toplete the task with no trace of dissatisfaction or disdain. No matter how you looked at it, this scene was harmonious and fluffy vexing the onlookers.


    The maid had heard rumours of Su Xin''s situation and how he ran off to y abandoning his son. This exined why she had a horrible attitude earlier on but this scene made her think the rumours were merely nderous words towards this loving father.


    To the bodyguards that had worked for Qie Ranzhe long before Qie Xieling came into the picture, this was just one of Su Xin''s tricks. Who didn''t know that Su Xin loathed Qie Xieling the most? They just didn''t interfere because their young master needed this regardless of Su Xin''s hidden motives. The only thing they could do was watch on with high vignce. If Su Xin so much as yells at Qie Xieling they would immediately lock the man up as per their boss''s instructions.


    Wen Qinxi and Qie Xieling were too busy with their masterpiece to care about the melon seed eaters watching them like hawks. With the cookie crumbs ready, Wen Qinxi helped Qie Xieling pour out some melted butter into the bowl.


    "Yuck, it looks like mud," said Qie Xieling while mixing the paste with a yucky face. Wen Qinxi smirked as he scrapped a tiny amount from the side of the bowl and directed the spoon to Qie Xieling''s mouth. Qie Xieling tried to tilt his head back refusing to eat it but he was no match for his dad so that spoon effortlesslynded in his mouth.


    His expression changed drastically as his taste buds received enlightenment, an introduction to a whole new world. Mind blown, he tried to have some more and this time it was an entire spoonful but before the spoon reached his mouth, his hand was suddenly stopped.


    No matter how hard he tried to move it closer it was pointless. Feeling aggrieved, he eyed Su Xin with a re that seemed to say ''you dare'',which normally worked on servants but this was Wen Qinxi. This trick naturally didn''t work on him. "Little ancestor, if you eat all the mud then we won''t be able to make fudge. Now be good and put it down," said Wen Qinxi with a warm smile that had Qie Xieling hypnotised to the point of dropping the spoon like a hot potato.


    He didn''t know why Su Xin was being nice neither did he know the reason why the man kept his word and didn''t desert him. Part of him wanted to be obedient hoping it would make Su Xin want to stay but at the same time, he also wanted to test the limits. How troublesome?


    Curious to know the final result, Qie Xieling helped tten the cookie crumb paste or as he calls it tasty mud in arge baking pan. He curiously watched as his dad ced white chocte chips, banana pudding mix and some misceneous ingredients in a saucepan forming a smooth paste. Su Xin even let him mix it, a task he found to be rather interesting.


    The two poured the mix on top of the tasty mud and after smoothing out the surface, they ced it in the refrigerator.


    "Good job Lin Lin, we are done," said Wen Qinxi tossing the dishes in the sink but Qie Xieling didn''t move staring at the closed refrigerator door in confusion. Seeing his son not moving an inch, Wen Qinxi said, "It''s not going to set any faster by you staring at the fridge door," in a half-joking tone.


    Qie Xieling frowned in displeasure. He innocently thought he would be eating now. All his life he never waited for food so what was this situation? Wen Qinxi read the kid''s mind and diverted his attention by proposing they y a game. The fudge needed some time to set so he roped the kid into ying chess.


    The two had so much fun that they even forgot they had fudge in the fridge. It could only be said that Wen Qinxi was still a kid at heart because he seemed to enjoy horsing around with Qie Xieling all day. It was after Qie Xieling came over with a blow dryer after bathing preparing for bedtime, did they recall the fudge in the fridge.


    Wen Qinxi blow dried Qie Xieling''s hair which felt soft to the touch. He had done this countless times for Wen Dazhe but stopped when his brother thought it was funny to put baby powder in the blow dryer. Once Wen Qinxi switched it on, half his face was suddenly covered in white powder making him resemble Casper the friendly ghost though he wasn''t friendly in the slightest. From then on he refused to blow dry Wen Dazhe''s hair.


    Having not done this for a long time, Wen Qinxi enjoyed it and vowed to blow dry the kid''s hair every day in this world. Wen Qinxi wasn''t the only one enjoying this experience, Qie Xieling was head over heels. If he knew a dad could be this fun he would have had his daddy lock up Su Xin a long time ago. Too bad for Su Xin, he was no longer allowed to leave even after the summer vacation. Now that he had personally experienced having a dad how could he let go of Su Xin?


    Wen Qinxi naturally didn''t know he had already been sentenced to life without parole, not that he would have a problem with it. He led Qie Xieling to the kitchen and took out the glorious banana cream fudge and handed the boy some sprinkles. Like an amateur, Qie Xieling went crazy with it after adding melted white chocte topping.

 Chapter 294: Fourth World: Daddy Robbed Lin Lins Fudge

    Chapter 294: Fourth World: Daddy Robbed Lin Lin''s Fudge


    In the dim lighted kitchen, the pair cut the fudge into cubes before having a taste. Since it was almost bedtime, Qie Xieling could only have one which he wasn''t too pleased about. It was only after much convincing did Qie Xieling let it go. He could have some tomorrow anyway. If he only knew that his fudge would vanish in the next three hours, Qie Xieling would have fought for his rights.


    The father and son pair brushed their teeth together ready to retire after a busy day. Wen Qinxi wanted to send Qie Xieling to his room but after what happened in the morning the boy refused to leave. No matter what Su Xin said, he was going to sleepover tonight. Qie Xieling decided to shamelessly sell meng and sure enough, Su Xin agreed to it despite his apprehensions. He knew Qie Ranzhe wouldn''t be too pleased but he didn''t want to disappoint Qie Xieling so he caved in.


    This was the start of the countdown to the disappearance of Qie Xieling''s fudge that his dad had taught him to make.


    Two hours and thirty minutes to fudge disappearance, a convoy of ck jeep wranglers drove into the property with their brakes screeching loudly. The bodyguards rushed over to open the door but Qie Ranzhe didn''t wait for them, getting off the car with an oppressive aura that could send a rottweiler running away with its tail in between its legs.


    Everyone was walking around on eggshells. It was evident that their boss was pissed off and any slight mistake would set him off. They didn''t want to be caught in the crossfire so they kept to themselves. Qie Ranzhe head straight for Qie Xieling''s bedroom on the second floor. He had rushed over hoping to find his son awake and ask him what Su Xin did.


    He already heard from his chief of security what transpired in his absence and what led to the phone call he received from Qie Xieling but he didn''t believe it. He wanted to hear it from the horse''s mouth so he rushed up the stairs and opened the door to Qie Xieling''s room.


    The room was dark with the night light that''s always on every single night as cold as ice. Qie Xieling wasn''t in his room. His eyes widened in shock as his heartbeat quickened. He stared at Machu who was standing behind him. Machu understood and spoke into his walkie talkie.


    "Code red, master Lin is missing. Deploy all personnel, over," said Machu followed by static sounds. The head of security responded and deployed his men to search every nook and cranny of the property.


    Enraged, Qie Ranzhe stormed over to Su Xin''s room intending to beat the truth out of him. Livid, he kicked the door in and charged like an angry bull but his footsteps froze when he found Qie Xieling huddling with Su Xin like a newborn puppy cuddling with its mother.


    His rash movements didn''t seem to wake the two up only that Su Xin drew Qie Xieling closer in his sleep in a protective stance. Machu also walked in and his jaw dropped to the floor staring at this unnatural scene. He immediately walked out and called off the search before returning by Qie Ranzhe''s side.


    "This....," said the speechless Machu in a whisper, "Should I get the body bag. We can get rid of him while Qie Xieling is still asleep and make up an excuse when he wakes up."


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t respond but walked over and tried to move Qie Xieling out of Su Xin''s arm. Who would have thought Qie Xieling would hold on tight murmuring some incoherent words. Sensing Qie Xieling''s restlessness, Wen Qinxi rubbed the child''s back in a soothing motion.


    This action was done in his sleep making it seem like it was a natural thing he was used to doing. Qie Ranzhe felt his anger rise to his throat as he stared at the two people huddled together. This situation was unfathomable but he didn''t have the heart to wake up Qie Xieling. He left the room in pent-up anger and instructed Machu to find someone to guard the door.


    Two hours to fudge disappearance, Qie Ranzhe had all his staff downstairs yelling at the top of his voice venting out his anger while demanding an exnation. He didn''t want Qie Xieling aggrieved in any way yet these servants failed at the one job he left for them.


    It was then that he found out his son had deliberately set Su Xin free from the chain and all the shenanigans they had been up to while he was away. He only dismissed them when his voice felt hoarse from all the yelling which was one hour and fifty minutester.


    Ten minutes to fudge disappearance, Machu strolled in holding a Tupperware container with a smirk on his face. He ced the bento on the table and said, "Maybe he repented... he''s broke and has nowhere else to go soooooo.....," sitting down next to Qie Ranzhe.


    Qie Ranzhe inhaled and exhaled deeply attempting to quench the fury reigniting at the depths of his heart. "A leopard can''t change its fuckin spots... that behaviour of his is engraved in his DNA," said Qie Ranzhe gritting his teeth.


    "Aiya..... who knows.... maybe he wants money," said Machu followed by the popping sound of a lid opening, "Found these in the fridge. They are pretty good."


    Qie Ranzhe''s brows furrowed slightly staring at the container filled with fudge. Ten seconds to fudge disappearance, Qie Ranzhe asked, "Why does it have so many sprinkles?"


    Machu shrugged his shoulders pushing the container over while biting into the tiny piece of fudge in between his fingers. Just as countdown struck zero, Qie Ranzhe took a bite telling himself he will just eat one. Boy was he wrong. Qie Ranzhe hogged the entire container and took it with him to his office.


    Machu, "..."


    "I found the fudge first but you are letting me eat only one?"ined Machu watching the gluttonous pig run off with the tasty fudge.


    "I am the boss and this is my house. That one that you ate was good enough. Go rest," said Qie Ranzhe before walking up the stairs while biting into his third piece. Like this, the entire container vanished as the countdown to Lin Lin''s tantrum began.


    Countdown to Lin Lin''s tantrum: 8 hours 45 minutes.


    Lighting a candle for Qie Ranzhe.

 Chapter 295: Fourth World: Angry Papa Bear

    Chapter 295: Fourth World: Angry Papa Bear


    The sun shone with pride in the clear blue sky with its rays reflecting on the surface of the lush green leaves and fragrant flowers. Such a lovely day was bound to be great with a lot of things to explore. At least Wen Qinxi seemed to think so as he stared at the sleeping Qie Xieling with his half-lidded eyes.


    The cuteness overload was too much for him that he couldn''t resist extending his fingers tucking away the stray strands of hair brushing against Qie Xieling''s forehead behind the kid''s ears. A sweet smile appeared on his handsome face when Qie Xieling''s eyelids slowly opened. The kid dazedly stared at Su Xin as he turned toy on his back before stretching like a kitten that had been rxing in the sun for too long. "What?... Is there something on my face?" asked Qie Xieling wiping his mouth in case there was drool but there was none.


    Wen Qinxi''s gaze lingered a little with a doting look on his face. His fingers were itching to pinch those cheeks but he resisted the urge otherwise this cute fuzzball would bare his fangs.


    He didn''t want to get his handsome face scratched so he said, "Get up, let''s go mess around in the garden after breakfast," said Wen Qinxi getting off the bed, "better yet we can have breakfast in the garden... What do you think?"


    Qie Xieling recalled his tasty fudge and immediately got up heading for the door but as soon as he reached the door, Wen Qinxi coughed loudly attracting the boy''s attention. Qie Xieling turned around with a peeved expression but when he followed Su Xin''s line of sight he noticed the chain he had insisted his dad wear to bed.


    He was afraid Su Xin would run off while he was sleeping. Even now he was still hesitant so he said, "I will go get my clothes ande back so we can shower together... I will unlock it then." Before Wen Qinxi could convince him otherwise, the kid ran off afraid his dad would be ufortable if he dyed any longer. He knew Su Xin hated the chain but who told him to run away from his own son countless times. Wen Qinxi looked down at his ankle jewellery and sighed deeply. It seemed he would be wearing this to bed for a very long time.


    Meanwhile, footage of Qie Xieling running out of Su Xin''s room was ying on Qie Ranzhe''sptop screen in the study. He had been watching this door for over an hour now but this was the first time there was any movement. His gaze followed his son who seemed anxious like he would lose something important if he didn''t get to his destination faster.


    The footage changed as it showed Qie Xieling entering his bedroom. Inside the bedroom, Qie Xieling frantically searched his drawer for some clothes. Once he found what he required, he seemed to hesitate before running to the bathroom to grab something.


    Qie Ranzhe''s eyes narrowed as he watched the kid run back to Su Xin''s room even dropping a few things along the way. Frustrated, Qie Ranzhe rubbed his chin before leaning back into his chair.


    "Boss, why didn''t you install cameras in Su Xin''s room? It''s obvious you are curious to know what they are up to," said Machu who was leaning against the wall behind Qie Ranzhe observing the footage.


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t respond with his cold gaze fixed on Su Xin''s door that had just been closed shut. Machu walked around him and sat in the opposite chair while grabbing an apple from the crystal bowl on the coffee table. "Su Xin seems to have some kind of charm to have Qie Xieling that restless," he carried on saying while rubbing the apple on his t-shirt before taking a bite.


    His serene expression turned ugly after chewing on the apple. As the bitter taste ruthlessly attacked his taste buds, Machu took the bin and spat it out before saying, "Ran-ge, what the fuck?"


    Qie Ranzhe''s expression remained indifferent but his eyes showed a glint of amusement. "Don''t casually eat things that don''t belong to you.... and I am not a pervert," said Qie Ranzhe mming theptop shut.


    "Pei, Pei...Huh?" said Machu after spitting out the rest of the disgusting apple.


    "I said I am not a pervert," replied Qie Ranzhe with an indignant tone. He barely slept trying to figure out what Su Xin was up to. He hadn''t even gone for long but his son was like an enchanted pup following Su Xin around. He had to do something about it otherwise his son would be taken advantage of.


    "Oh..... wait, where are you going?" said Machu watching him askance.


    "Find out his n," said Qie Ranzhe in amanding tone while averting to answer the question. Machu could tell Qie Ranzhe''s bearings were off so he didn''t say anything and decided to find out what the adulterer was up to.


    Qie Ranzhe stood outside Su Xin''s door like a statue waiting for the two of them toe out with an overbearing air around him. His expression was that of indifference but the formidable dark aura looming over him had the servants scurrying away lest they get caught in the crossfire.


    Wen Qinxi who didn''t know what was happening outside was busy straightening out Qie Xieling''s clothes. The boy was dressed in blue shorts, a white t-shirt and a cap ready to explore the garden. He should have been behaving like a rebellious teen but having missed out on all this when he was young, he was eager to go. It didn''t matter what sort of activity they did as long as it was with Su Xin he would dly ept.


    Wen Qinxi applied some sunscreen on the boy''s face not forgetting to pinch those cheeks in the process. Qie Xieling who had just been taken advantage of, yelped while ring at his dad who seemed proud of himself. "Just this once..... I won''t pinch again," said Wen Qinxi smiling at the little cutie who looked fierce but wasn''t threatening in the slightest.


    That smile melted Qie Xieling''s heart that he even forgot to be angry. If he only knew how addicted Su Xin became after that one pinch, he would have thrown a fit to draw the line, not that it would make any difference.


    Unaware of the danger on the other side of the door, Wen Qinxi opened it and sure enough, he was scared out of his wits when he was met by Qie Ranzhe''s dark expression. Wen Qinxi shut the door without thinking, his face as white as a sheet.


    Qie Xieling furrowed his brow in vexation. He couldn''t help but conclude that Su Xin had seen a ghost. What sort of ghost would show up in broad daylight. Curious, he asked, "What does it look like?"


    Confused and still out of sorts, Wen Qinxi gave an unintelligent response, "Huh?"

 Chapter 296: Fourth World: A Pissed Off Little Dumpling

    Chapter 296: Fourth World: A Pissed Off Little Dumpling


    "The ghost you just saw... what does it look like?" further inquired Qie Xieling thinking back to some of the books he read in the past on paranormal activity. He was trying to figure out how to ward off evil spirits. Little did he know that the person on the other side was more troublesome than a fiend.


    Though he was terrified of ghosts, Wen Qinxi would rather deal with a ghost than Qie Ranzhe right now. Just one look spoke volumes. If it weren''t for Qie Xieling he would have been skinned alive by now.


    "It''s, it''s not a ghost... your daddy is on the other side of the door," said Wen Qinxi pointing at the door while lowering his voice.


    Qie Xieling was relieved when he heard this but judging from Su Xin''s expression, his daddy was most likely in a horrible mood.


    Qie Ranzhe who had just had the door mmed in his face, clenched his fists struggling to suppress his anger. It wouldn''t be good if he lost his cool in front of his son. The scene might turn bloody and traumatize Qie Xieling. He closed his eyes trying to calm down the hurricane surging within him. By the time he opened his eyes, he seemed a bit calm but his hands were still trembling.


    The door was suddenly opened a crack, a space perfect to fit a thirteen-year-old. Qie Xieling was gently pushed out of the door with the hand quickly disappearing into the room before the door was quietly shut once more.


    Qie Xieling, "....."


    Qie Ranzhe, "....."


    It almost seemed like a fearful kindergartener returning a toy he took without permission. Qie Ranzhe who had just been ignored humphed and grabbed Qie Xieling''s arm leading him to the dining room to have breakfast.


    Qie Xieling wanted toin and tell his daddy he was nning on having breakfast with Su Xin in the garden but judging from Qie Ranzhe''s grimly expression and Su Xin''s frightful look, it wasn''t a good idea. This wasn''t the right time to stir up the dark waters.


    Things were awfully silent at the breakfast table with a heavy atmosphere that even Machu scampered away as soon as he entered the door. ''Forget it, I can do without breakfast today,'' was his thought as he walked away in hurried footsteps.


    Qie Xieling wanted to say something but didn''t know were to start faced with his daddy''s dour expression. He could only push around his food eating little bites as though saving some space for when he eats with Su Xin.


    His actions were noticed by Qie Ranzhe who suddenly put down his chopsticks and asked, "Is Su Xin bullying you? Don''t be afraid..... daddy will protect you," with a stern expression. This was the only thing he coulde up with to exin Qie Xieling''s odd behaviour. Su Xin was definitely threatening his son or so he thought.


    Qie Xieling raised his lowered head and said, "No, no he''s not... in fact, he helped me do my homework an-," but he was cut off when Qie Ranzhe said,


    "And you helped him unlock the chain."


    The guilty party lowered his head ready to receive his sentence. He had indeed helped Su Xin but if he didn''t they wouldn''t have made delicious fudge or go out to y in the garden.


    "How did you do it?" asked Qie Ranzhe before sipping some of his coffee with his piercing gaze on Qie Xieling.


    "Ma, master key but... we made some delicious snacks," said Qie Xieling before standing up without giving his daddy a chance to respond. He believed that once his father saw the snacks they made, he would understand why he let Su Xin go. "I will give you one, no two," said Qie Xieling while raising his fingers before exiting the room.


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t say a word as he carried on drinking his coffee that is until Qie Xieling came back and mmed an empty container on the table fuming with anger. Seeing the familiar container, Qie Ranzhe almost choked on his coffee with some of it spilling on the table.


    The sweet innocent kid was so angry that he yelled, "Who did it? Who ate my fudge?" mming the container on the table once more.


    The steward ran in with a panicked expression looking to see what happened to their adorable young master. Qie Xieling had turned into a little monster as he tossed the container right next to the steward''s feet. "Who did it? Call all of them out..... whoever it is, I won''t let them off!" The short person looked cute when angry but the steward dared not take Qie Xieling''s words lightly. He was about to go and call all the servants but the guilty party decided to interject.


    "Xieling, there is no need... it was, it was..... Machu," said Qie Ranzhe sensing how pissed off Qie Xieling was. If he had known that fudge belonged to Qie Xieling he would never have eaten it. The two were simr and strict about their things. The reason why he threw Machu under the bus was that he couldn''t afford to be on Qie Xieling''s bad side especially when he was trying to oust Su Xin.


    Right when he said that, Machu walked in right on time to face the storm head-on. Qie Xieling red at Machu with a murderous aura and asked, "Did you eat my fudge?"


    Qie Xieling might be a kid but those eyes were as oppressive as his bosspelling him to spill his guts immediately. Completely missing Qie Ranzhe''s threatening gaze, he confessed, "I ate one but your daddy over there ate the rest of it. I swear I am telling the truth."


    Like a clown in a house of horrors, Qie Xieling slowly turned his head towards his daddy. He not only ate his fudge but also lied about it.


    Caught in a snare of his own design, Qie Ranzhe tried to smooth things over. "Son it''s just fudge..... I will have the chef make you some more. Just don''t be angry with daddy, okay?" but Qie Xieling remained unmoved, "Fine, fine, I am sorry but you should have put a sticker on it. How was I supposed to know?"


    Qie Xieling also felt he should have put a sticker written ''eat it and I will chop off your hand'' but it was already toote. The first thing he made with his dad was eaten by his daddy while he only got to have one piece. He was so angry but he could also use this to his advantage and get Su Xin''s sympathy. Such a devious n could onlye from Qie Ranzhe''s son. The apple truly didn''t fall far from the tree.


    Choosing a shameless route, he said, "You ate my fudge... wuwuwuwu..... I am going to tell," before running up the stairs.


    Qie Ranzhe, "....."


    Machu, "WTF"


    Steward, "What am I even doing here?"


    As soon as Qie Xieling disappeared Machu pat Qie Ranzhe''s shoulder and said, "Tsk, tsk, prepare yourself to lose Xieling in the divorce. He would definitely choose to go with Su Xin."


    "Piss off," said the irritated Qie Ranzhe unable to ept that he just lost to Su Xin, "and I am not getting a fuckin divorce!"


    Machu pressed his lips together trying to stifle hisughter as he watched Qie Ranzhe''s disappearing back.

 Chapter 297: Fourth World: Wen Qinxi Thirsty For Qie Ranzhe

    Chapter 297: Fourth World: Wen Qinxi Thirsty For Qie Ranzhe


    Qie Xieling took full advantage of this situation making up for all the years he didn''t have his dad around. That is to say, the title of Ultimate Opportunist could only belong to him. He ran up the stairs and pushed the door open with a tear-stained face.


    He was genuinely upset about the fudge but he took it as an opportunity to behave insensible crying in his dad''s arms. Wen Qinxi who had been watching some breakfast show was startled when the door was pushed opened followed by Qie Xieling throwing himself in his arms.


    Wen Qinxi''s heart ached as heforted Qie Xieling. He tried to figure out what riled up the overly mature little ancestor but Qie Xieling kept on crying as though venting out all his pent-up grievances. Stumped by this situation, Wen Qinxi could only embrace him while soothing his back urging him on to let it out. Every once in a while, we all deserve a good cry. That is to say one would feel better after crying it out.


    Qie Xieling cried himself to sleep that is after exining to Su Xin what happened to his precious fudge. It is then that Wen Qinxi understood what the fuss was all about. "Lin Lin, don''t cry... we''ll make more. There is no need to cry till your eyes hurt," were the words he said before coaxing the boy to sleep.


    While Qie Xieling was curled up in bed sleeping, Wen Qinxi sat cross-legged on the carpet while drawing something on a sheet of paper. The fudge conflict wasn''t fully resolved but another major event in the plot was about to unfold so he had to prepare for it.


    Because of Qie Ranzhe''s status in the underworld, there were a lot of enemies in the shadows calling for his head and one such person was Su Long. He was brazen enough toe after Qie Ranzhe on this ind after the annual gathering. He not only dared to ambush Qie Ranzhe but dared attack the man''s vi while Qie Xieling was in it.


    In the original plot, Su Xin took advantage of the chaos to run away. Fortunately, Qie Xieling came out of this unscathed but this attack earned Qie Ranzhe four months of hospitalization. Since he was here now, as Su Xin he naturally wouldn''t let anything bad happen to them. He wasn''t going to prevent the events from taking ce but he was nning on changing the oue. Sure, Su Xin was a controversial character but his father also took advantage of him and didn''t receive punishment for it. It was time he dealt a huge blow at old man Su and bring down his entire organization.


    On this piece of paper, Wen Qinxi used the game files to rearrange the security forces protecting the Vi to give them a greater advantage when they get attacked. This was to better protect Qie Xieling while he was out roasting Su Long.


    Just as he was finishing off what he was writing, the door was silently opened and in strolled the big boss, his eyes transfixed on the little dumpling curled up in bed. Wen Qinxi nervously squeezed his pen but he didn''t raise his head as he continued writing. His head might have been lowered but he paid close attention to Qie Ranzhe''s movements in the room.


    His palms became mmy as he feigned calmness. From the outside, he resembled a calm istedke with no ripples on its surfacebut internally he was a bundle of nerves panicking like he was in the middle of a storm out at sea. This was the love of his life but their rtionship right now was almost non-existent.


    Qie Ranzhe quietly walked across the room towards Qie Xieling. He had heard the boy crying across the corridor but held back because he knew it would only make the situation worse. He didn''t expect this big of a reaction from Qie Xieling which forced him to admit Su Xin was somewhat important. This furtherplicated things making Su Xin hard to deal with.


    He kissed Qie Xieling''s cheek and fixed the quilt before walking over to Su Xin who still had his head lowered refusing to acknowledge his presence. He towered over the man who kept on writing with no care in the world. If there was anything Qie Ranzhe hated the most, it was being ignored. If it weren''t for Qie Xieling''s presence he would have strangled him already.


    Qie Ranzhe scoffed as he clenched his fist trying to keep himself lucid and not act on impulse. "You are ignoring me?" he asked gnashing his teeth. One look at him and you could tell he was struggling to suppress his anger clenching his jaw tightly like it would break at any moment.


    Wen Qinxi didn''t raise his head as he carried on writing something. Acting pitiful and begging for forgiveness wouldn''t work on a character like Qie Ranzhe. If you want to lure the tiger you have to use your actions, not words which is why he chose this route.


    Look at it this way, if your spouse who was also a spy and an adulterer not just once but countless times,es over to you and says I am a changed man would you believe it?


    Using this way of thinking he said, "I have something for you," while finishing off his scribbling, "here, this will be of great use to you." Wen Qinxi finally raised his head and handed over the piece of paper to Qie Ranzhe. For the first time in a long time, their eyes met and the two locked gazes.


    Those beautiful bright eyes sent a spark in Qie Ranzhe''s way that he felt his heart skip a beat. He hated this, he hated that Su Xin could still manage to pull his heartstrings despite havingmitted the ultimate crime. With a look of disdain, he took the paper and looked it over.


    At first, he thought it was a bunch of nonsense but it turned out to be a defensive strategy for the Vi. His first thought was that Su Xin was luring him into a trap. If Su Xin had given this defence n to the enemy wouldn''t they be at a disadvantage if they followed it? But he had intercepted allmunication channels in the Vi.


    Nothing bypassed him not even his bodyguards'' personalmunication with their families. His level of information was so deep that he even know what colour of underwear his chief of security was wearing because of this. Traumatising as it may seem he needed to protect Qie Xieling.

 Chapter 298: Fourth World: Threatening Or Flirting

    Chapter 298: Fourth World: Threatening Or Flirting


    "What do you want?" asked Qie Ranzhe in a lowered voice zed over with a menacing tone.


    Wen Qinxi had expected this question and his answer would naturally be, "You," but if he didn''t want his handsome face punched he had toe up with something else. Twirling the pen in between his fingers with a sly grin on his face he said, "I want to burn Su Long''s empire to ash."


    Those dark alluring eyes sent a tingling sensation down Qie Ranzhe''s back. Maybe it was just him but that look Su Xin gave him was that of a predator eyeing its prey. This thought vanished as quickly as it came when he recalled the scene of Su Xin in bed with Zhao Hua. He wasn''t stupid enough to fall into this vixen''s trap a second time.


    "If I help you... then what do I get in return?" he asked while ncing over the paper again. He knew there was bad blood between Su Xin and Su Long but he thought Su Xin would be working hard to get back his ce on the throne. It turns out he wanted to destroy his old man in a ssic ''if I can''t have it then no one else can'' trope.


    A gorgeous smile quirked up Su Xin''s face as he said, "Whatever you want, I will give it to you as long as you keep your end of the bargain."


    Unbeknownst to himself, Qie Ranzhe bit his lower lip his expression exuding a rare thirst that he himself didn''t take note of. "I will think about it... When I return from the annual meeting, I will give you an answer but," said Qie Ranzhe before leaning down only stopping when he was close to Su Xin''s ear, "If you screw me over, I will fuck you up real good. You of all people know what I am capable of."


    Though he was being threatened, Wen Qinxi felt an inexplicable thrill. He just wanted to pull this man by the cor and kiss him but they weren''t there yet. He could only endure while preventing himself from reaching out by clenching his fists under the table.


    Qie Ranzhe moved back a little till they were facing each other. He glimpsed over Su Xin''s face not missing the blush on the man''s ear. "Do you understand?" he asked in a whisper that was as menacing as when been yelled at.


    Wen Qinxi nodded his head in agreement almost losing his self-restraint. In his heart he was murmuring, ''leave, leave, leave,'' otherwise, he wouldn''t be able to hold back. Qie Ranzhe was his baine and addiction. No one could understand how much self-restraint he had to summon just to stop himself from pouncing on him. His nails were painfully digging into his palm and for a man who fears pain, you can understand how much of a big deal this was.


    Qie Ranzhe mistook his actions as fear and smirked in satisfaction. He was d his threat was effectively delivered so he left the room with a huge load off his shoulder. He didn''t have to worry about his son hanging around Su Xin.


    Wen Qinxi heaved a sigh of relief attempting to calm his beating heart. Four months ago, if you had told him a man would make him feel this way, Wen Qinxi wouldn''t have believed it. He had to go take a cold shower otherwise his business wouldn''t go away by itself. He vowed not to hang around Qie Ranzhe alone. This man was dangerous.


    ***


    A thousand kilometres off the coast of Japan, six of the world most expensive yachts were gathered in the middle of nowhere centred around a stealth ck superyacht named ck Blood. Inside this luxurious yacht, six men were seated at a round table with Qie Ranzhe sitting in the host''s seat.


    This was the so-called annual meeting of the underworld crime bosses but against expectation, the meeting was serene and tranquil. One would expect blood to be spilt but because of the stickler Qie Ranzhe, there was a hefty fee awaiting anyone who dared disrupt this meeting. These men were rich but no one wanted to casually part with ten million dors over a brawl so they quietly sat down like obedient high schoolers in the presence of the principal. Hell, even high schoolers would make a bit of noise but these men were too well behaved.


    As soon as the meeting was adjourned the men heaved a sigh of relief, they could finally breathe. So they began to chatter as dinner was getting served. Qie Ranzhe didn''t interact much apart from the asional toasts and other misceneous things.


    This meeting was off-limits to underlings or henchmen but Su Yi, Su Xin''s cousin found his way in, strolling into the room like he owned the ce. Ever since Su Xin was booted out of inheriting the Su family empire, after his secret was publicised in their circle, Su Yi had be even more arrogant growing a tail that Qie Ranzhe desperately wanted to chop off.


    The only reason why he hadn''t gotten himself to do that was because the man hadn''t touched his bottom line yet but tonight will most definitely be the night he does. Machu stepped in front of Su Yi as soon as he entered the door preventing the arrogant fool from breaking the rules.


    "Young master Su, I would advise you to show yourself out," said Machu in a calm tone that gave off a feeling that he could be easily bullied.


    Su Yi showed his sly canines as he said, "How about you? You are here so why can''t I?" while poking the man''s shoulder.


    The old men in the room drew in a breath of cold air. Everyone apart from the fool knew how ruthless Machu could be. He was once a rumoured shadow with titles like the ''grim reaper'', ''angel of death'' or ''the dark lord'' but ever since Qie Ranzhe took over after his uncle there was now a face to the name and anyone who openly defied Qie Ranzhe had a terrible ending.


    Now, this idiot was openly provoking this god of death.

 Chapter 299: Fourth World: Su Longs Stupid Decision

    Chapter 299: Fourth World: Su Long''s Stupid Decision


    "I am sure you know my title. I am the moderator of this meeting so I naturally have to be here. Now, please leave," said Machu his impatience evident on his face as he moved in closer with a terrifying dark aura. Internally he was hoping this idiot would carry on acting the fool. He was so thirsty for blood that he just couldn''t wait to turn Su Yi into mincemeat.


    "Yi-er get the fuck out. Didn''t I tell you to stay put," said Su Long trying to talk some sense into the only qualified heir in the Su family. He naturally had other means to deal with Qie Ranzhe and this kid was exposing them.


    Machu grinned maliciously as he said, "Why don''t you listen to your uncle and run along like a little bitch." This was bait and ording to Su Yi''s character, he would most definitely bite.


    Su Yi was incredibly pissed off but just as he was about to say a sentence that could ultimately lead to his death, Qie Ranzhe raised his hand gesturing to Machu to stand down. This made Su Yi even more brazen as he strolled in puffing up his chest. "That''s right. How can my inw refuse me? We are family, aren''t we?" said Su Yi before cing his arm on Qie Ranzhe''s shoulder.


    The entire room froze watching that hand touch Qie Ranzhe''s shoulder. The man had broken two rules in under a minute and judging from his expression he had no idea.


    Firstly, no one should ever mention Su Xin in front of Qie Ranzhe unless if they wanted to be kicked overboard. Secondly, no one should ever touch Qie Ranzhe without permission even the president of the United States wouldn''t be spared. Yet this dumbfuck dared to casually ce his dirty paws on Qie Ranzhe.


    The old men were all holding their breath, with one even dropping the spoon he had been holding mid-air this entire time. But Su Yi didn''t read the situation. Like a blind fool, he carried on, "If my cousin keeps giving you trouble you can bring him back to the Su family. Will tame him first then bring him back to you...if all else fails will just give you one of my sisters they are.... fuck!"


    Su Yi didn''t get to finish his sentence as his arm was twisted dislocating from his shoulder with a loud crack. This was only the beginning of Su Yi''s ordeal as Qie Ranzhe proceeded to clobber him with no reservations.


    Su Yi was crying out for help at first but when he saw no oneing to his aid he knew he was finished. Su Long didn''t even bother looking his way because he had specifically sent an entire folder with all the rules and emphasized that he reads and re-reads all the information till it was engraved in his heart but of course, his goodwill fell on deaf ears and this was the end result.


    By the time Qie Ranzhe was done with him, Su Yi was barely recognizable. He was still breathing but didn''t make a sound. Qie Ranzhe pulled back his stray strands of hair before taking out a handkerchief to wipe the blood off his hands.


    "Like you said we are inws. That''s the only reason I am letting you live... for now. Old man Su, take your piece of shit with you when you leave my yacht," said Qie Ranzhe before sitting back down as though the guy who just beat someone half to death wasn''t him.


    A group of men walked in and carelessly carried Su Yi out while Su Long addressed Qie Ranzhe, "We as the Su family ept the punishment, we will be sure topensate you for your troubles." His words were undoubtedly insincere but Qie Ranzhe let him go.


    Today wasn''t the day to bring down Su Long. He already had a n to deal with this old man but now that Su Xin wanted to make a deal with him, he had to hold off his ns. That is to say even without Su Xin he nned to punish the old man for old grudges.


    After this gruesome event with the floor painted red with Su Yi''s blood, no one was in the mood to party so the crime bosses left one by one till Qie Ranzhe was the only one left in the room, his thoughts running rampant.


    ***


    In the white yacht named Santana King, Su Long was angrily tossing things around as Su Yi''s screams filled the entire yacht. Qie Ranzhe was too ruthless breaking his heir''s legs like this. He was nning on holding off on his ns but he couldn''t wait any longer.


    Now that he didn''t have an heir left, his mind thought of another possibility and that possibility was Qie Xieling. The kid had Su blood running in his veins which meant he would make a suitable heir.


    The anger on Su Long''s face melted reced by a cunning smile. He would not only have an heir but also the entire Hei Xue organisation after killing Qie Ranzhe. This was a win-win scenario no matter how you looked at it. With a lively smile, he ordered for them to keep Su Yi quiet before closing his office door to make some phone calls.


    It was about time he met his grandson.


    ***


    While grandpa Su was concocting a horrible n, Wen Qinxi was putting stuff in the panic room of the Vi while Qie Xieling was looking it him funny wondering what his dad was up to.


    "Why do I need this much snacks, I don''t eat a lot?" asked Qie Xieling as he watched the once spacious room slowly getting packed up with a lot of misceneous things.


    Wen Qinxi turned to look at him while packing away some dried meat. "Remember what I told you? Dad just wants to be prepared for any possible scenario... now pass me your books," replied Wen Qinxi pointing at the pile of books at the entrance of the panic room. Maybe his actions were a little excessive but he couldn''t help treat this like the apocalypse. He didn''t want his son to suffer any kind of grievance while locked in here when the Vi goes under attack. Like moms, dads worry too.

 Chapter 300: Fourth World: Lin Lin Streaking Outside The Villa

    Chapter 300: Fourth World: Lin Lin Streaking Outside The Vi


    Wen Qinxi was normally all for gun control and anti-gun violence in the real world which is why he was never a god yer when it came to pubg but going through these past two worlds, he had to adapt. Plus, when it came to Lin Lin he had to do whatever it takes to protect him. If anything happened to that kid, he might consider ending it all and re-start the world.


    This might seem pretty selfish but the nerd had sacrificed a lot so yes, he deserved one selfish thing. So this papa bear managed to get into the armoury after using Qie Xieling as a diversion. He wanted the boy to throw a fake tantrum or something to draw the bodyguards'' attention but who would have expected Qie Xieling to take off all his clothes and run around the property naked.


    This shocked the hordes of servants who were forced to chase after their little streaker of a master which was extremelyical. This could be considered the perfect distraction because based on Qie Xieling''s character, this was major OOC that even the bodyguards snickered while jeering for their young master. Qie Xieling was overly mature for his age and seeing him act like a kid for once was truly refreshing.


    Because of that Wen Qinxi had ample time to raid the armoury. By the time the streaker show had ended, Wen Qinxi was already back in his room arming his entire body as though going to war. Bulletproof vest and all.


    Curious, Qie Xieling extended a hand to touch a sh grenade lying on the table. Just before he touched it, a loud smack resounded in the room. "Ouch!... Su Xin, why did you hit me?" he said with teary eyes ying the pity party.


    Who would have thought Su Xin would read him clearly while ring at him fiercely. "Stop acting pitiful... it won''t work on me. You aren''t supposed to touch that.... better yet you aren''t supposed to touch any of this stuff and you know that," said Wen Qinxi reprimanding Qie Xieling for the first time.


    Qie Xieling hung his head low looking dejected while hiding a radiant smile. He had just been scolded but he was happy Su Xin was finally showing care towards him. In the past, he had tried to rouse Su Xin''s care by doing something his daddy would reprimand him for but Su Xin didn''t seem to care.


    Like the one time he was hanging on the balcony to try and get Su Xin''s attention but the man had looked up and immediately looked away disinterested. It was Machu who gave him a good scolding and he was grounded by his daddy for an entire week. From then on he didn''t try this again till today.


    Wen Qinxi thought he was still upset so he sat next to Qie Xieling and raised the kid''s chin saying, "Dad is just worried about you..... this stuff is dangerous. Now don''t be upset, let me see your hand." Qie Xieling felt a warm spring suddenly spread all over his chest, his eyes reddening.


    He tightly embraced Su Xin without thinking and the two stayed like this for a very long time. "Don''t go," whispered Qie Xieling hoping to convince his newfound dad to stay. Su Xin had already exined to him why this was important but he just couldn''t get himself to ept it.


    "If I don''t go, bad people will harm your daddy. You don''t want that do you?" said Wen Qinxi with his chin resting on top of Qie Xieling''s fluffy soft hair.


    "But daddy has Uncle Machu and I will have no one to protect me," replied Qie Xieling feeling aggrieved. This wasn''t necessarily true but you can''t me the boy for trying.


    "Remember what I said, as soon as your watch shes red get to the panic room and lock it till you see either me, your daddy or Machu. Do you understand?" asked Wen Qinxi in a serious tone. This was a precaution that was put in ce by Qie Ranzhe a long time ago. His Vis had sensors surrounding thepound alerting the security guards of an impending attack. But Wen Qinxi managed to tinker with Qie Xieling''s smartwatch to sense changes in the sensors serving as a warning.


    Qie Xieling didn''t say much, he just nodded his head in agreement and further nestled into his dad''s embrace. "I promise will do more fun things when Ie back, okay?" he said coaxing the boy before kissing the little one''s forehead.


    "Oh and no more streaking, it''s too weird," he said stifling hisughter. Qie Xieling seemed to find it funny as well, snickering while hugging his dad. He couldn''t help but recall the steward''s expression when he saw him in full nudity. The old man''s jaw dropped to the ground thunderstruck and as he took one step to run after the nude boy, he lost his footing and fell. Qie Xieling almost gave the old man a heart attack.


    The two snickered like this for a good minute but it was about time Wen Qinxi left.


    ***


    Fifteen minutester, Wen Qinxi strutted down the stairs with a backpack on his back looking like a protagonist from a blockbuster action movie. The servants immediately noticed something off about Su Xin but none of them had the balls to approach him. Though cowardly they were rather great at tattling, to be more exact they were pros at snitching. By the time he exited the front door, his pathway was blocked by a group of armed men with the chief of security standing at centre stage with a malicious smirk on his face.


    "Ah, and here I was thinking you were a changed man... you know I lost a lot of money betting on you. Well, that''s on me for believing a leopard can change its spots," said the chief of security whilenguidly folding his arms across his chest.


    They never had to guard the armoury because it was a hundred times more secure than a bank vault. It required a retinal scan, fingerprint scan and voice activation coupled with a passcode but who would have thought Su Xin would rob them blind without a hitch. It seemed they had underestimated him.


    Wen Qinxi chortled while taking out a remote detonator his expression rather calm for a man left with no way out. He cursed himself internally before saying, "Do you see this?..... I am sure you know what it is. Why don''t you go and check on your little young master... hmm?"

 Chapter 301: Fourth World: Fake Teddy Bear Bomb

    Chapter 301: Fourth World: Fake Teddy Bear Bomb


    The bodyguards'' faces turned ashen at the realisation. They just never thought Su Xin would go that far. He had never gone that far before. He normally scolded or ignored Qie Xieling and never involved the young master in his escape ns. Turns out even a rabbit would bite when it is cornered.


    "Shit!... go save the young master... Now!" yelled the chief of security foreseeing his head on a spike once his boss returns.


    "I am d we have reached a mutual understanding... As much as I would like to stay and chat, I really have to go," he said taking out a handgun causing the remaining guards to flinch. Wen Qinxi shot all the tires on the fancy vehicles parked outside except for the ck jeep closest to the gate. "Sorry... you do understand, right?" he said with a mocking smile that had the chief of security gnashing his teeth in anger.


    The bodyguards helplessly watched as the jeep head for the gate. Just as the stolen vehicle reached the gate, one of the men who had just run upstairs to check on Qie Xieling spoke through the walkie talkie in a panic, "It''s a trick, it''s a fuckin trick!"


    The chief of security immediately raised his weapon shooting at the jeep that was reaching the iron gate. Whistling sounds of the bullets whizzing through the air echoed in the sky followed by a dull thud as they struck the bulletproof windows of the jeep.


    Wen Qinxi stepped his foot on the elerator and rammed through the iron gate that was slowly closing. His heart ached ruining such a beautiful car that he couldn''t help but swear, "Fuck!" while driving like a daredevil through the forest road.


    While Wen Qinxi was swearing, another person was cursing to high heaven. The head of security was kicking dirt while swearing like a sailor, "You fuckin @#@$%@$@%, your mother is a @%#%@$@@#, fuck your @#^@%@^^# and your @^@%%@%@!"


    "Boss!..... Boss!," called out one of the men that had juste from upstairs.


    "What, what, what!!" bellowed the fuming chief of security before turning around. "Fudge!" he said when he saw Qie Xieling who had just heard his entire swearing marathon.


    "You said the F-word, I am going to tell," said Qie Xieling with a viinous smile on his face. The chief of security had a much bigger reaction when he saw the teddy bears strapped around Qie Xieling''s chest. It turns out this was the bomb Su Xin was talking about. A bunch of fuckin bears.

    While the head of security was questioning his career choices, Wen Qinxi was driving like a mad man trying to figure out this deste forest. Qie Ranzhe was truly strategic when he chose this ce to imprison him. Not only were there snake-like roads that were vexing, but there was also a great chance of running out of fuel before reaching anything that resembled a town.


    Lucky for him, Jolie had some usefulness in this situation. He didn''t get lost and managed to set traps before Su Long''s men arrived at the scene. Just as depicted in the plot, they picked the same location to attack Qie Ranzhe''s convoy. All Wen Qinxi had to do was lie in wait, camouged atop a hill. He was silently watching Su Long''s men set up their trap with great interest.


    ''Boss, why did you have to put bears around Lin Lin? They all believed your lie anyway so what was the point?'' asked the curious system. It called to question some of the decisions Wen Qinxi made especially this one. It made no sense at all.


    Wen Qinxi grinned recalling the cute scene and said, ''For visual effect. I think it was fuckin hrious.'' He wished he could have been there to see the reaction on the bodyguards'' face.


    ''Well, I don''t think it was funny. Charlie Chaplin was funny, Mr Bean is funny but this isn''t funny at all,'' exined the system but Wen Qinxi didn''t feel like quibbling with an AI.


    ''What do you know?... It was fuckin hrious,'' replied Wen Qinxi when he finally noticed a fleet of cars rolling down the mountain into the valley.


    ''Shit is about to go down!'' said the animated system as Wen Qinxi took out a couple of detonators preparing to initiate a firework disy.


    ''Let''s light it up,'' he said watching Su Long''s man prepare to attack the convoy.


    ***


    Two hours before the showdown, Qie Ranzhe had just received a bizarre report that had three ck lines forming on his forehead. "He fuckin did what?" asked Machu sitting up front in the passenger seat.


    "He ran around naked in the entirepound.... fuck!" said Qie Ranzhe sinking back into the car seat. He couldn''t understand what was going on in that kid''s mind but he had a feeling that it had something to do with Su Xin.


    "Hahahaha... so everything was hanging out in the open for all to see? Boss, unless he was convinced by someone to do that, young master would never take off his clothes," said Machu analyzing the situation objectively.


    "Su Xin! That''s it, I am going to fuckin kill him. I''m seriously going to fuckin kill him," said Qie Ranzhe mming his fist on the car seat.


    The suspicion turned to fact when he received another call an hourter informing him of Su Xin''s escape and him robbing the armoury. Not forgetting the teddy bear fake bomb strapped on Qie Xieling. This had Machu stifling hisughter as he didn''t want to poke the ho''s nest further and get caught in the crossfire despite being an innocent bystander. This had the convoy driving faster through the forest to reach the Vi. But just as they reached the bottom of the valley ten miles from the Vi there was a sudden burst of gunfire.


    Taken by surprise Machu hit the emergency brakes. The two vehicles in front parked across the road blocking Qie Ranzhe''s car from the iing attack. "Fuck, fuck, fuck!" cursed Machu taking out his handgun while the driver put the car in reverse. He wanted to get his boss out of the line of fire but it was proving difficult as another vehicle appeared out of nowhere blocking their path.


    Though multiple rounds of ammo were fired there was barely any significant damage because of the bulletproof windows. The enemy seemed to have figured it out because they stopped firing their weapons as an unsettling silence filled the forest. One way of describing it would be the calm before the storm.


    As expected a man walked out with a rocketuncher on his shoulder and aimed it at Qie Ranzhe''s convoy.

 Chapter 302: Fourth World: Wen Qinxi Still Cant Swim

    Chapter 302: Fourth World: Wen Qinxi Still Can''t Swim


    "Shit!" swore Machu his foreheadced with ayer of cold sweat. They had already called for back up and all they had to do was hold on till they arrived but this task was proving to be difficult.


    "Get down!" yelled Qie Ranzhe just as the man was about tounch the rocket but before that even happened, a sequence of explosions blew up Su Long''s men with the few remaining survivors scattering into the forest.


    Atop a hill, Wen Qinxi wasughing like an evil scientist lighting the forest up like a Christmas tree. ''Brother, you don''t have to freaking enjoy it this much,'' said the system looking like it had seen a shadow of the psycho Feng Zi. Hell, even Feng Zi wasn''t this ruthless.


    Meanwhile, Qie Ranzhe and Machu were confused by this development. They were well aware that this wasn''t their back up so what the hell was going on?


    "Finish them off," said Qie Ranzhe opening the door of the car with his pistol in hand. The men followed their boss'' instruction and went after whatever was left of the enemy shooting to kill. One of the men in the car that had been blocking Qie Ranzhe''s car from backing out managed to escape into the forest.


    Qie Ranzhe noticed it and ran after him without thinking. By the time Machu turned around Qie Ranzhe had vanished into thin air. "Move out and search for the boss!"manded Machu before disappearing into the forest as well.


    Meanwhile, Qie Ranzhe lost the man in the dense forest but he was resolved in his search moving deeper into the thick trees. Unfortunately for him, the man was local to this ind and could easily evade him.


    The man had witnessed some of his brothers blown to bits so he nned a sneak attack to avenge them. He silently followed Qie Ranzhe waiting for the best opportunity. As soon as Qie Ranzhe reached the edge of a waterfall, the opportunity he had been waiting for had finally arrived.


    Using the roaring waterfall as a cover for his movement, the man raised his gun to shoot Qie Ranzhe in the back but just as he was about to pull the trigger a man showed up out of nowhere and fired first.


    Qie Ranzhe heard gunfire followed by a loud thud from a body falling. He felt someone standing behind him and swung the handle of his gun urately striking the person''s face.


    Wen Qinxi who had been hit right in the nose grimaced in pain while cursing Qie Ranzhe. "Ah..... You dumbfuck..... oh shit, you broke my nose. It''s fuckin bleeding!" swore Wen Qinxi touching his sore nose with his fingers.


    Qie Ranzhe was about to apprehend the person for interrogation when he heard that familiar voice. Thunderstruck he called out, "Su Xin!" withplicated feelings.


    "Yeah, it''s me you asshole..... ungrateful bastard!" said the livid Wen Qinxi feeling like he had died all over again. Swearing was the only way he could deal with the pain. He was about to walk away disoriented when Qie Ranzhe suddenly embraced him and jumped from the top of the waterfall. This was because a group of men had stepped out of the shadows firing their guns at them. With nowhere else to hide, he chose to jump into the water.


    Little did he know this assassin couldn''t swim to save his own life. "Ran-ge you fuckin asshole... I can''t fuckin swiiiiiimm!" yelled Wen Qinxi before diving into the water.


    Wen Qinxi tried to hold his breath underwater but it proved difficult. He couldn''t understand why all of his characters in the game were duds when it came to swimming. Sure, he couldn''t swim in the real world but still why couldn''t he have at least one character that was a water lover.


    This thug Su Xin only knows how to fight and blow up things but when ites to water he would sink to the bottom like a balling ball. Qie Ranzhe pulled him up as the raging river washed them away. Even then, Wen Qinxi drank a few mouthfuls of water as a rain of bullets struck the water surface.


    Fortunately, the men were lousy shots allowing Qie Ranzhe and Su Xin to escape unscathed. Just as the two men vanished downstream, the gunmen were unlucky enough to meet the angel of death making them regret evering after Qie Ranzhe.


    Wen Qinxi struggled to keep afloat and held on as long as he could but it was futile. Qie Ranzhe was helping him but when the raging river reached the rapids they were forced to separate. Which meant this nerd was on his own. Cursing Qie Ranzhe to death, Wen Qinxi was tossed and turned from all sides till he passed out.


    This was essentially game over for Wen Qinxi but fortunately for him, Qie Ranzhe was an excellent swimmer. He reached Su Xin with great difficulty and embraced the man''s waist letting the man''s head rest on his shoulder. He couldn''t understand why Su Xin would risking here but if he wanted the answer he had to keep the man alive.


    The two were swept downstream for two more minutes before the raging waters calmed down by several degrees. Qie Ranzhe finally managed to swim to shore and pulled the passed out Su Xin out of the water


    Unwilling, to give Su Xin CPR, Qie Ranzhe smacked him a couple of times but it was of no use. Qie Ranzhe pped him a couple of more times with his eyes fixed on those plump lips that were gradually turning purple. Thinking of Qie Xieling, he was left with no choice but to give the man CPR.


    "Fuck it!" yelled Qie Ranzhe taking off his suit jacket beforemencing CPR.


    After thirty chestpressions, he performed two rescue breaths. Seeing that it didn''t work he yelled, "Come on damnit!..... Wake the fuck up!"


    He repeated the cycle once more and just as his icy lips left Su Xin''s mouth, Su Xin who was supposed to be out of it clutched his cor and kissed him tongue and all while sucking out air. Wide-eyed in shock, Qie Ranzhe roughly pushed Su Xin away.


    Wen Qinxi finally coughed out a mouthful of water oblivious of his brazen actions. By the time he had somewhat regained his senses, he noticed Qie Ranzhe ring at him with an expression that seemed to say ''I am going to skin you alive''. Startled, he flinched and asked, "What?"


    "You fuckin kissed me!"


    Wen Qinxi, "....."


    ''Am I that fuckin thirsty?''

 Chapter 303: Fourth World: Wen Qinxi vs A Black Mamba

    Chapter 303: Fourth World: Wen Qinxi vs A ck Mamba


    Wen Qinxi couldn''t believe he could be that shameless in his unconsciousness forgetting that he pulled off the same stunt in the first world. Back then the situation was different. He had been chased by a herd of wild boars and Qie Ranzhe had done the same protective action and dove into the water disregarding the fact that he couldn''t swim. This situation led Wen Qinxi to kiss his boss and now he had done the exact same thing. Different situation, same scenario.


    Wen Qinxi was feeling guilty but as the pain slowly crept up on him, he began to question himself. Why was he feeling guilty when he was not only a benefactor but was also punched in the face. "I saved your ass. Not only that but you also broke my nose...and, and tried to drown me.....ouch you fucker...aaaaaahhhhh," screamed Wen Qinxi after Qie Ranzhe squeezed his nose that was partially swollen. For a guy like him who feared pain, this was simply torture. He grimaced in pain before smacking Qie Ranzhe''s arm twice.


    Qie Ranzhe who had been smacked out of nowhere rubbed his arm and said, "It''s not broken."


    "If it''s not broken then why is it so painful? Hey, hey, where are you going?" asked Wen Qinxi when Qie Ranzhe expressionlessly stood up and walked away inrge strides. "Shit!" said Wen Qinxi bustling to stand up and follow the heartless man.


    Wen Qinxi was in so much pain but he was forced to endure it as they walked deeper into the thick dense forest. He wanted the system toe out and distract him from the stinging pain that made his eyes watery but who was he kidding. The unreliable system had ditched him as soon as Qie Ranzhe showed up.


    The only other way he could divert his attention to deal with the pain was chatter none stop. He didn''t care if Qie Ranzhe was listening or not as he yammered on. He was still angry that this man didn''t apologize for striking his face so in his infinite chatter he swore a couple of times.


    Qie Ranzhe who was being scolded to high heaven was half-listening. When they got attacked they were close to the vi so all they had to do was walk northeast and they would reach the vi. He knew Qie Xieling would be safe in the panic room but he just wanted to get back quickly which is why he was walking at a fast pace.


    His face was cold and aloof but his mind was in turmoil. Based on Su Xin''s past behaviour, he just couldn''t understand what was going on with this man. He was wracking his brain trying to figure out Su Xin''s motive. Bringing down the Su family was a good enough motive but would it be motivating enough for Su Xin to disregard his own safety ande rescue him. No matter how he looked at it, it didn''t make sense.


    And what was up with that kiss? The only time they were this intimate was that special night that sent sparks flying for this crime boss. But who would have expected that the one person who made him feel this way would suddenly ask for them to pretend like nothing happened?


    Since then, everything went downhill but just as he got over Su Xin and moved on, the man now suddenly wanted to stay with no ns of running away whatsoever. These yoyo kind of feelings weren''t his style but he had to admit that kiss stirred up something within him, however brief it was.


    Irritated by hisplicated feelings, Qie Ranzhe swiftly turned around and Su Xin almost bumped into him. "Ssshhh," he said cing his index finger on his lips with a solemn expression.


    Wen Qinxi who had just been shushed stared at Qie Ranzhe with a terrified look on his face. Thinking Qie Ranzhe had heard something in the bushes, Wen Qinxi couldn''t help but panic. His imagination ran wild after being led by the nose by the heartless crime boss.


    "What, what is it? What did you hea-?" asked Wen Qinxi but Qie Ranzhe interjected and shushed some more. This time Qie Ranzhe went as far as covering Su Xin''s mouth with his hand while whispering,


    "Ssshhh, listen..... Do you hear that?" asked Qie Ranzhe but Wen Qinxi who had perked up his ears heard nothing. There weren''t even sounds of birds despite it being a forest. Wen Qinxi silently observed Qie Ranzhe who was scanning around as though he had truly heard something.


    Wen Qinxi''s brows furrowed when Qie Ranzhe turned back to face him and said, "That''s the sound of peace and quiet. I would prefer it if you keep it that way," before shoving him away.


    ''Heartless bastard,'' thought Wen Qinxi as he watched Qie Ranzhe steadily disappear into the thick bushes. Wen Qinxi was so infuriated that he didn''t follow behind, instead he vented out his rage by angrily kicking a shrub.


    Little did he know that the shrub he was kicking was home to a ck mamba. Having been disturbed from itste afternoon nap the snake wasn''t too pleased. It slid out of its hole ready to teach whoever had the balls to disturb it, a lesson.


    Wen Qinxi had already vent out his pent up anger and was preparing to follow Qie Ranzhe when he heard a menacing hissing sound. Wen Qinxi didn''t need to turn around to know which grandmaster he had offended. His hair stood on end as he slowly turned around. Sure enough, it was a venomous slithering creature staring right at him baring out its fangs. He had two options, fight or flight and there was no way in hell Wen Qinxi would pick fight so he made his decision dashing like an athlete at the Olympics.


    "Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!" swore Wen Qinxi jumping over bushes like a professional athlete sprinting along a track with hurdles. "Snake! Run..... it''s a fuckin snake," yelled Wen Qinxi when he saw Qie Ranzhe who was walking back to get him.


    Qie Ranzhe had only realised after walking in tranquillity for five minutes that something was off. When he turned around, his brows knitted together realising that the vixen was no longer following behind him. He had just taken a few steps when there were rustling sounds from the nearby bushes followed by a grown man''s screams.


    Hearing the word snake, Qie Ranzhe grabbed a thick broken branch and held it tightly in his hand ready to swing at a moment''s notice.


    Wen Qinxi who had been running for his dear life was shocked to find Qie Ranzhe still standing there despite all his repeated warnings. In as much as he wanted to stay beside his CEO and help fend off the snake, Wen Qinxi wasn''t brave enough. Even if he was as powerful as Superman, he wouldn''t casually face a snake one on one.


    His fear was embedded in him from childhood. When he was young, his mother took him and his brother to the zoo. While hanging around in the reptile house, Wen Dazhe decided to tap on the thick ss with his finger which agitated a cobra that was taking a nap. Wen Dazhe had always been curious and naughty but he didn''t think his actions would leave a psychological shadow on his brother.


    The agitated cobrashed out and struck the ss two times slithering around looking for a way out to teach this human a lesson. Wen Qinxi was so mortified that he ran away leaving his mother and brother behind. But no matter where he ran he couldn''t find the exit and he was surrounded by snakes in ss cubicles from either side. His mother only managed to find him thirty minutester hugging his knees in a dark corner while crying.

 Chapter 304: Fourth World: Lin Lin Is A Streaker Just Like His Dad

    Chapter 304: Fourth World: Lin Lin Is A Streaker Just Like His Dad


    Wen Qinxi tried to pull Qie Ranzhe along with him but the man remained unmoved. "Go!" yelled Qie Ranzhe in an overbearing tone that terrified Wen Qinxi. He could only obey and ran a few feet before he heard a loud bam sound and a snake hissing while flying a great distance.


    Just like that, the threat was neutralised but it didn''t mean that Qie Ranzhe would hang around and wait for the snake to take revenge. Without thinking much, he caught up with Su Xin and grasped his elbow before leading him further away from the crime scene. Wen Qinxi who was a head shorter than Qie Ranzhe found it hard to keep up that he had to scurry along, not that he wasining.


    If it were up to him, he would have preferred they run instead. It was only after reaching a clear brush ofnd did Qie Ranzhe let him go. The two tried to catch their breath while maintaining a level of vignce. The forest was indeed beautiful but it contained a lot of hidden danger making the experience less interesting.


    "Now,..... we are even," said Qie Ranzhe with both his hands resting on his knees.


    Wen Qinxi who had his hands resting on his lower back on either side asked, "What? You.... fine, fine. Whatever.... we are even."


    He didn''t think that rescuing Qie Ranzhe from the Su family wasparable to this situation but when he thought of that terrifying creature, he changed his mind. If it was anyone else who had saved him, he would have sworn eternal servitude to show his appreciation. Yes, that''s how terrified he was of snakes.


    "It''s gettingte and we won''t be able to reach the vi before sunset," said Qie Ranzhe looking around at the area they were currently standing at.


    Wen Qinxi didn''t respond with his body still shivering from the previous ordeal. He must have owed Qie Ranzhe in his previous lifetime otherwise how would one exin his terrible luck? He had been shot, burnt to ash and now he even had to face his worst enemy all in the name of saving this overbearing CEO.


    While Wen Qinxi was cursing his boss internally, Qie Ranzhe had found a small secluded waterfall with a stream flowing gently downhill. It seemed the little stream was one of many streams that fed water into the big river they had almost drowned in.


    Wen Qinxi followed in Qie Ranzhe''s footsteps only to be met by such a serene scenic view. The small waterfall was surrounded by lush greenery creating a priceless beauty that can''t be bought by money. It was so hard for him to believe that this dangerous forest had such a hidden gem undisturbed by human activity.


    Along the banks of the clear stream, Qie Ranzhe found a small cave big enough to fit four grown men. After careful inspection, he said, "Will stay here tonight," in a matter of fact tone that made it clear that this wasn''t up for discussion.


    Wen Qinxi wasn''t bothered by it so he began to collect some twigs around the area to light a fire. He had just survived an encounter with a venomous viper, wouldn''t it be funny if he dies by being frozen to death. While Wen Qinxi was busying himself picking up twigs, he didn''t notice Qie Ranzhe disappear. When he did notice, he had already finished lighting the fire.


    He was anxious at first but recalling how that man had casually kicked a snake''s ass, Wen Qinxi didn''t worry any further. After checking the water depth which only reached his thighs, Wen Qinxi decisively took off his clothes and went in for a quick wash intending to soothe his nerves and wash away the sweat from all the running.


    He even went as far as washing his clothes which would easily dry in the hot sun that was about to reach the horizon. After washing his sweaty clothes and left them in the sun to dry, Wen Qinxi dipped a toe testing the water temperature before slipping-in inplete nudity. A bright smile crept up his face as the refreshing water washed away the turbulent feelings from being angered by Qie Ranzhe earlier on.


    The subject of his anger finally returned after searching around for some prey that could serve as dinner for the both of them. His mood was already in a terrible state because he had searched around but still didn''t manage to find anything. He decided to go back and catch some fish but who would have expected he would find Su Xin taking a bath in full nudity.


    Qie Ranzhe, "....."


    No wonder his son would streak around the Vi naked, it was because his dad did the same thing. Qie Ranzhe meant to go over there and yell at Su Xin to put on some clothes but he found his entire body frozen refusing to obey him.


    His eyes lingered unable to look away. The slender muscr man had exceptionally fair skin that made it hard for anyone to look away.


    The water droplets caressing his skin was so tantalizing that Qie Ranzhe felt like licking them all away. This urge had his throat dry up with an inextinguishable thirst causing him to swallow hard. Realising his own dirty thoughts Qie Ranzhe turned to leave and decided to go wash his face further downstream.


    He couldn''t believe it. He couldn''te to terms with his reaction after sleeping with Su Xin only once. That one time ruined him forever as there was no one else on earth that could make him feel this way. One look at that naked body was enough to drive him insane with a big bulge growing on his lower half.


    He had tried with several people in the past to quench this thirst and recreate that special night but it wasn''tparable. After that, he gave up and rarely slept with anyone. He didn''t expect that after so many years he would still be wrapped around Su Xin''s finger and have such a reaction. To be precise, his problem had only gotten worse.


    Angry at his body and himself he left. Qie Ranzhe meant to wash his face and cool down but the heat didn''t recede after washing his face so he had to take off his clothes and let the cool water restore his usual demeanour. He had no choice but to admit that the vixen was too dangerous. It would be better if he stays away from Su Xin in the future.


    By the time Qie Ranzhe came back, Su Xin was fully dressed roasting fish with a campfire. He refrained himself from talking or looking at him sitting at the edge of the cave while watching the sunset. It would be better this way, at least nothing unusual would happen.


    He only found outter that he had miscalcted. His cold indifference didn''t deter Su Xin. In fact, the man wouldn''t stop talking no matter what he did.


    But that wasn''t the worst of it. As the wonderful scent of roasted fish wafted in the small space, Qie Ranzhe''s tummy grumbled loudly despite him refusing Su Xin''s fish earlier on. Qie Ranzhe was so embarrassed he wanted to angrily storm out but it was already dark outside and he didn''t want to attract unnecessary trouble.


    He could only endure and ept the man''s kindness. After some internal struggle, he finally looked at Su Xin and thanked him while receiving the roasted fish on a stick. But as soon as his eyesnded on him, Qie Ranzhe''s mind envisioned the naked Su Xin. No matter how hard he tried to get rid of that image, it wouldn''t go away. He could only look away to hide his embarrassment leaving Wen Qinxi confused.


    ''What on earth did I do to anger this ancestor,'' thought Wen Qinxi eyeing Qie Ranzhe suspiciously.


    There was only one thing they could both agree on that it was going to be a long night.

 Chapter 305: Fourth World: What Do You Want From Me?

    Chapter 305: Fourth World: What Do You Want From Me?


    Dealing with this Qie Ranzhe in the fourth world proved to be much difficult than the rest. Maybe it was because of the kind of circumstances they were in or the CEO was finally showing more of his overbearing side. He had cursed the man out more than usual even though they had not spent more than an hour in each other''s presence.


    It meant he would have to work harder to conquer his lover in this world. Qie Ranzhe still refused to look at him with his head lowered while contemting whether to eat the fish or not. Wen Qinxi felt like pinching the man to death. ''What does he think? It''s not like I put an aphrodisiac in his fish,'' thought Wen Qinxi while ring at Qie Ranzhe.


    A notification suddenly popped up in his mind. There was a message in his inbox which was odd because ever since he entered this game, he hadn''t received a message before. Curious, he opened his inbox and read the message.


    System: I wouldn''t put it past you.


    ''Fuck!'' cursed Wen Qinxi realising the system was responding to his earlier remark about putting an aphrodisiac in Qie Ranzhe''s food. It seems Jolie didn''t have the guts to appear but couldn''t pass the opportunity to mock him so it chose to send a message.


    System: You are that thirsty XD.


    Angered to death, Wen Qinxi stood up and took the fish away from Qie Ranzhe before taking a nibble eating fish bones in the process. Qie Ranzhe who had just had his food snatched away from him, raised his head leering at the culprit. He hadn''te to terms with Su Xin being nice to him because in his world one had to want something to be this nice. Yeah sure, Su Xin needed help with the Su family but what was up with the extra things?


    This kind of behaviour made him think that Su Xin had a thing for him but how could that be? He knew Su Xin''s true self like the back of his hand. This is why he was hesitating to eat this mediocre piece of grilled fish.


    What he didn''t expect was that his actions would be mistaken for fear of being poisoned. So he watched as the man almost choked on fish bones just to prove a point.


    Wen Qinxi coughed a little while trying to maintain a calm demeanour. He handed back the fish to Qie Ranzhe and said, "See it''s fine... I didn''t do anything to it. Now eat up so you can have the energy to walk tomorrow. Can''t have you fainting from hunger otherwise will both be stranded," before sitting down furthest away from Qie Ranzhe.


    The entire cave fell into silence with only the crackling sound of burning twigsing from the fire. Wen Qinxi who had finished eating a minute ago, couldn''t hold back as a tremendous wave of exhaustion loomed over him. His eyes became heavy as he leaned back at the cave wall. Just as he closed his eyes Qie Ranzhe chose this exact moment to get some answers.


    This was entirely on purpose. As to the reason why? It is because there is a way to get a sleeping person to confess or divulge information which is backed up by research. And this CEO naturally knows about it. This wasn''t just random information buried in Qie Ranzhe''s consciousness but a thing he had used on the same person in high school during a camping trip.


    Back then Wen Qinxi was sharing a tent with his deskmate and just as he fell asleep, Qie Ranzhe kicked out the other nerd for three hours straight. One would think that maybe he would take advantage of his crush, steal a kiss or maybe cuddle a little but that''s not what Qie Ranzhe did. Instead, he ogled at Gecko with a tender filled gaze while asking him some questions.


    Ever wondered how Qie Ranzhe knew so much about Wen Qinxi? It was because of that night. From his favourite drink and believe it or not, favourite subject. He also took the opportunity to find out the situation with Nu Shen especially after he personally sabotaged the nerd''s first love confession. Unfortunately for him, he found out that the subject of his affection still liked Nu Shen.


    Displeased, he casually dropped this sentence, "You are not allowed to like Nu Shen." Maybe it was a psychological thing but after that night Wen Qinxi seemed to have lost interest in Nu Shen which was undoubtedly weird. The teenage Wen Qinxi finally understood the saying ''human hearts are fickle''. His deskmate was also bribed into silence and became a double agent spying on Wen Qinxi for Qie Ranzhe.


    Despite having no memories of the real world, Qie Ranzhe still had his old habits and he was about to use them on Su Xin. In gentle slow steps, he walked over to the man who had his head hanging to the side possibly falling into a deep sleep.


    Qie Ranzhe silently sat next to Su Xin staring at that handsome face that wreaked havoc in his city. He couldn''t help but wish Su Xin was average looking. At least he wouldn''t stir up this much trouble and possibly stay by his side. Reaching out with his long slender fingers, Qie Ranzhe gently tucked away a stray strand of hair hanging on Su Xin''s forehead. Such a gentle action filled the atmosphere with fluffy cotton candy. His gaze gave off the same air that would make one think he was in love but to be more precise, it was the re-ignition of an incurable obsession.


    "Xin-er," he called out in a deep melodious voice that could have plenty of fangirls screaming their lungs out. He leaned in close to Su Xin''s ear and whispered, "Xin-er."


    Wen Qinxi responded after the second call with a low, "En,"pletely unaware of what was about to happen.


    "What do you want from me?" he asked with his dted pupils sweeping over Su Xin''s face. Wen Qinxi didn''t immediately respond mumbling something but Qie Ranzhe was terrifyingly patient. In a gentle tone, he whispered again, "Tell me, what do you want?"


    It seemed Qie Ranzhe had asked the right question because the nerd sold himself out mumbling, "You." Qie Ranzhe''s heart thumped as he felt his face heat up. He couldn''t believe it so he inquired further.


    "Xin-er, do you know who I am?" he asked while holding his breath almost losing his calm demeanour. This man had shattered his heart to pieces, slept with half of the women in their circle only to tell him he wants him?


    What a joke.


    He truly believed Su Xin had mistaken him for someone else but his assumption was soon debunked when he heard the man whisper, "Ran-ge..... let me sle, sleep," as he turned around toy on Qie Ranzhe''s chest.


    Su Xin didn''t stop there, he moved around a little with his brows creased as though looking for afortable spot and once he did, his brows rxed as he stopped shuffling around. No one in this world could understand Qie Ranzhe''s feelings at this moment. He had wanted to get some information from Su Xin but he was taken advantage of and used as a body pillow.

 Chapter 306: Fourth World: The Wifes Things Belong To The Husband

    Chapter 306: Fourth World: The Wife''s Things Belong To The Husband


    Qie Ranzhe was horror-stricken at a loss on what to do. He could feel his body gradually heating up but he couldn''t push Su Xin away. Feeling the familiar thirst rise to his throat, Qie Ranzhe gulped before asking again. "What about Zhao Hua?" while looking straight ahead refusing to stare at that enchanting face anymore.


    "Don''t like," said Wen Qinxi sleeping like the dead on Qie Ranzhe''s chest. Qie Ranzhe had suffered too much stimtion and decided not to ask any more questions lest he digs up old feelings that had been locked away in a vault for almost a decade.


    Wen Qinxi woke up the next day only to find Qie Ranzhe sitting by the entrance of the cave with a nk expression. "Awake?" asked Qie Ranzhe with an impassive tone. The man didn''t even wait for Su Xin to respond as he stood up exiting the cave.


    ''Did he fuckin wake up on the wrong side of the bed?'' thought Wen Qinxi as he stood up to catch up with him. The guy didn''t even give him time to wash up striding away like he was all by himself.


    Wen Qinxi swiftly cupped his hands and sshed some water on his face before running after Qie Ranzhe. He was about to curse the man''s long legs when he realised he was wearing Qie Ranzhe''s suit jacket. When it was put on his body? He had no idea but this effectively made him swallow down all his curse words as a sweet smile crept up on his face.


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t utter a single word along the way neither did Wen Qinxi mostly because Wen Qinxi was recalling some sweet memories he shared with Qie Ranzhe in the past worlds. He was so smitten that he didn''t realise when Qie Ranzhe suddenly stopped causing him to bump right into the man''s sturdy back.


    Caught daydreaming, Wen Qinxi tried to change his expression to an unreadable countenance but it was already toote. Qie Ranzhe had already noticed and didn''t intend on making it easy for Su Xin. "Who are you thinking about?" he asked with a raised brow.


    Wen Qinxi''s eyes became shifty, not sure how to answer that question. If he responds with ''you'' wouldn''t thatnd him into hot soup? He didn''t want to have his face decorated with another purple flower better yet murdered in this deste forest. "I, um, I was thinking about, about," he said fumbling through but no suitable lie came to mind.


    "Never mind, I don''t want to know anyway," said Qie Ranzhe raising his hand to stop the bad liar from sprouting a terrible excuse. "How is your nose..... still painful?"


    Taken aback by the question, Wen Qinxi didn''t know what to say for a moment. He wasn''t sure what was going on with Qie Ranzhe this morning. Cold one minute hot in the next. ''So fuckin confusing,'' thought Wen Qinxi aghast.


    Qie Ranzhe wasn''t patient enough so he said, "Just put an ice pack when we get to the vi,'' while sliding his hands into his pocket. The two stood like this for a couple of seconds as an awkward silence permeated the air.


    "I''m," said Wen Qinxi but he was cut off when Qie Ranzhe said,


    "Let''s go." Just like that Qie Ranzhe turned to walk away leaving behind a baffled Wen Qinxi with an expression that can be tranted as ''what the fuck is going on?''


    The two didn''t speak again until they reached the Vi that was brimming with chaos. There was undoubtedly a blood bath in the past eight hours with bloodstains on the ground, bullet holes on the walls and shuttered windows. Machu was standing outside the gate impatiently waiting for Qie Ranzhe to show up while checking his watch constantly.


    The reason why he didn''t go looking for his boss with a search party was because he had interrogated the men who had forced Qie Ranzhe to jump off the waterfall. It turns out his boss was fine and knew the direction home so he knew he would show up eventually. If Qie Ranzhe didn''t show up in the next twenty-four hours he would then deploy a search and rescue team. Despite all this, Machu couldn''t help but worry which is why he was standing at the gate.


    Once he spotted Qie Ranzhe he was excited dashing over with a jacket which he put over Qie Ranzhe''s shoulders. "Boss, we-," he said but paused when he saw Su Xin following behind, "You! ..."


    Machu didn''t hesitate to point the muzzle of his handgun at Su Xin ready to pull the trigger at a moment''s notice.


    He found out that this little ploy was nned by the Su family. If not to get Su Xin then why else would they have the guts to attack them? Old man Su could no longer use Su Yi as an heir because Qie Ranzhe had rendered him a waste. It only made sense that the old man would try and rescue Su Xin despite cutting ties with him.


    Unexpectedly, Su Xin was the least bit frightened as he carried on walking as though challenging Machu''s authority. Wen Qinxi could give a rat''s arse, he was too exhausted to care.


    "Where the fuck do you think you are going!" bellowed Machu removing the safety on his handgun followed by a clicking sound.


    Wen Qinxi didn''t stop and silently carried on walking. Machu was about to shoot a warning shot at Su Xin''s feet but a strong hand grasped his arm. Puzzled, he turned to look at Qie Ranzhe who was saying, "He was our back up."


    "What?" eximed Machu putting away his gun while eyeing Qie Ranzhe suspiciously. He couldn''t help but think his boss had been enchanted by that vixen once more. Thinking that they had rekindled feelings in the bushes, Machu seriously scrutinised him.


    "Boss, you can''t be interested in him right? Have you forgotten who he is... damnit?! Do I need to call a psychologist or something? No, no, I think an exorcist would do a much better job," said Machu while taking out his phone. He was most likely scrolling through his contacts for the exorcist''s information.


    Qie Ranzhe took Machu''s phone away and said, "I am not fuckin possessed."


    "How can you say that when you told me a couple of days ago that you aren''t going to divorce? If this isn''t a symptom of developing feelings then I am a fuckin chicken," dered Machu while contemting on whether a p would snap his boss out of it? Some exorcists p the spirit out of the victim. Recalling how Su Yi got his arse kicked, Machu changed his mind.


    "I feel nothing for him and I said that because I have ns for the Su family''s legal businesses. What belongs to the wife belongs to the husband as well, right?"


    Machu nodded his head praising his boss for being clever. Qie Ranzhe had been eyeing the port dominated by Old man Su and since the old man dared to provoke him, his days were now numbered. With the old man out of the picture, everything would belong to Su Xin and based onst night''s questionnaire, it would naturally belong to him.


    "What about the husband''s things?... ouch!" yelled Machu after being smacked upside the head silencing him.

 Chapter 307: Fourth World: Fighting For Su Xins Attention

    Chapter 307: Fourth World: Fighting For Su Xin''s Attention


    Wen Qinxi was extremely anxious for Qie Xieling who had refused to open the door of the panic room for Machu. The kid was as stubborn as an ox, better yet as stubborn as Qie Ranzhe refusing to open the door for anyone other than Su Xin. Wen Qinxi didn''t know whether tough or cry at this situation.


    The kid was obviously intending to use this as a means to protect Su Xin just in case Qie Ranzhe decided to punish his dad for robbing the armoury blind and escaping. He refused to open the door unless he saw Su Xin alive and well. Good thing he didn''t have to worry about his daddyying a hand on Su Xin. Well, apart from the bruise on his nose.


    Wen Qinxi approached the isted room with a thick wooden door and smiled while tapping on it. Qie Xieling was lying on his back reading with the book hovering above his head when he heard a light tapping sound. Curious, he put his book down his limbs sprawled on the bed while asking, "Who is it? Anyone short of Su Xin isn''t wee here."


    Wen Qinxi snickered at his words with a sweet feeling flooding his chest. He suddenly had the urge to tease the little dumpling. He stood away from the camera leaning against the wall while saying, "Oh, then I will just leave."


    Qie Xieling was about to pick up the book again when he heard the familiar voice. He abruptly sat up straight, hopped off the bed and put on his slippers before dashing towards the door. In a few taps, he checked the camera but didn''t see Su Xin. Panicked, he ced his palm print on the tablet and the iron door slid open.


    The little boy''s brows furrowed when he didn''t see Su Xin. He peeped his head out to check barely able to restrain his heavy breathing. What would he do if he chased away his dad? He took a step forward about to call out his dad''s name but he was suddenly lifted from the ground with a fast swoop.


    "AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!" screamed Qie Xieling being carried like a sack of potatoes.


    "Hahahahahaha..... Lin Lin look at you screaming like a little girl... hahahaha," said Wen Qinxi spinning around while teasing his son.


    Qie Xieling stopped struggling when he heard Su Xin''s voice. His scream was reced by a loud childish giggle that could warm anyone''s heart. With his head hanging upside down, Qie Xieling became even more excited yelling, "Faster..... Hahahaha," referring to the swinging.


    Wen Qinxi didn''t disappoint, only stopping when both of them were getting dizzy. This unusual event was naturally witnessed by not only Qie Ranzhe but Machu and a few other bodyguards including the chief of security.


    A scream in this vi could only mean one thing which sent them flying over in a panic. But it turns out the young master was being a regr kid for once. The bodyguards felt like they were intruding on this sweet reunion so they left leaving Qie Ranzhe and Machu standing there stupefied.


    Qie Ranzhe couldn''t even recognize his son who seemed like an entirely different person. He wasn''t sure how to react to this unforeseen event but he knew one thing for sure. He didn''t want the two to be so close. One reason was that Su Xin was more fickle than a migratory bird. He was the kind to say one thing only to turn around and do the unexpected. That is to say, he didn''t know how long this doting dad act wouldst.


    With that, he broke the pair''s sweet reunion calling out, "Xieling! Come to daddy," with an imperative tone.


    Wen Qinxi''s back stiffened hearing that tone that sounded grim. He resolutely ced Qie Xieling on the ground and straightened his clothes with a mobile expression. Qie Xieling didn''t disobey his daddy but walked over in slow steps while nervously biting his finger.


    He was an obedient child who never disobeyed his father but for once he felt like being a rebel. If Qie Ranzhe forbade him from hanging out with Su Xin then he would have to apologize in advance because that''s not going to happen. The two people, one short and one tall stared at each other wordless for a minute.


    The smell of gunpowder filled the air almost choking the two onlookers. The pair of father and son were too simr with neither of them willing to concede. Good thing Qie Ranzhe was a tad bit mature otherwise there wouldn''t have been a peaceful resolution.


    Qie Ranzhe crouched down and stretched his hands out asking for a hug. Qie Xieling''s expression softened as he obediently reciprocated. In a gentle action, Qie Ranzhe stroked his son''s hair while asking, "Are you okay? Did you miss daddy?" before nting a kiss on his son''s hair. Machu and Wen Qinxi rxed as the tense atmosphere dissipated. Watching this scene they felt so bad for assuming that things would end in tears.


    "I am okay and I did miss daddy. Did you catch the bad guys?" asked Qie Xieling and once this question fell on Qie Ranzhe''s ears he subconsciously nced over to Su Xin for a brief moment before looking away.


    Qie Ranzhe lightly chuckled and said, "Not all of them but I won''t rest till I find them all."


    "Okay," replied Qie Xieling before parting with his dad, "then I will leave you to it. I have things to do."


    Qie Ranzhe, "....." who had just been chased away by his son. As expected, it''s all Su Xin''s fault. How could he let them cultivate a tight-knit rtionship when there was a high chance that Su Xin would run off again?


    "You must be idle... I will hire a music teacher for you so you can polish your violin skills. Don''t y around with Su Xin for the entire vacation," whispered Qie Ranzhe making it hard for Wen Qinxi to hear him clearly but Machu who was close by heard everything.


    "No need, I am the best in school when ites to the violin. Anyway, got to go. We have a lot of things to do," said Qie Xieling before walking away without even looking back.


    Machu stifled hisughter while aimlessly moving his gaze around to prevent himself from staring at Qie Ranzhe''s dumbfounded expression. Talk about being dumped by your own son. "Yikes!"


    Qie Ranzhe slowly stood up while watching his son run over to Su Xin. "Well, then you will learn the piano," said Qie Ranzhe as his childish side finally re-surfaced for all to see.


    To which Qie Xieling replied, "I know how to."


    "Then the flute," said Qie Ranzhe feeling flustered.


    "That too," replied the boy who was now holding hands with Su Xin.


    "Then the tuba. If not that then you will learn the French horn, the guitar, even the tambourine. In fact, you can learn all of them," yammered the disgruntled father. Machu wanted to tell his boss to stop embarrassing himself but before the words escaped his mouth they heard Qie Xieling say,


    "Su Xin let''s go take a bath together," while swinging their entangled hands.


    Qie Ranzhe, "...."


    Machu, "Pfft....."


    Qie Ranzhe took his hands out of his pocket and strode forward following after the pair. Before Wen Qinxi could even respond, Qie Ranzhe interjected, "No bathing together. I forbid it." But before he could part the pair that was ignoring him, Machu blocked his path and said,


    "Boss, boss... this is too embarrassing," and thest part was said in a whisper. His boss was actually fighting for attention with a little kid.


    "I know you like him but this, this is too embarrassing... you can''t fight for Su Xin with, ouch!" yelled Machu who had been smacked upside his head twice in one day.


    "Do you still have something to say?" said Qie Ranzhe with a raised brow. As expected Machu shook his head vigorously wishing he could p his mouth for spewing nonsense without thinking.


    "I thought so," said Qie Ranzhe before striding away towards his office.

 Chapter 308: Fourth World: Robbing Old Man Su Blind

    Chapter 308: Fourth World: Robbing Old Man Su Blind


    While Qie Xieling was enthusiastically filling the big tub with water and pouring a generous amount of bubble bath, Wen Qinxi had caught wind of Qie Xieling''sptop on the desk. He was tired of wearing these uniformed clothes like a prisoner and so decided to do some online shopping. Besides he also wanted to buy some misceneous things for Qie Xieling.


    Theptop was running on parental control software but to Wen Qinxi it was simply an insult. He cracked the software in a matter of seconds and checked his bank bnce based on the information in the game files. As expected, Su Xin was dead broke with no cent to his name.


    Wen Qinxi rubbed his forehead in frustration. He was strapped for cash despite being a member of the Su family. In under a minute, his look of frustration took a turn for the better when he recalled he was from the Su family. It was time to rob the old man blind. The price for calling Su Xin a freak and ousting him despite being the rightful heir.


    "Su Xin, the water his ready," yelled the enthusiastic Qie Xieling standing at the bathroom door. Let''s try to understand this poor dumpling. He never got to do this when he was younger and could only make up for it now. Even if it was going to be for this one time, he would dly ept it.


    "Oh, okay," replied Wen Qinxi typing a few keys before standing up. Across the screen, a bar was loading with the numbers increasing at light speed. In a matter of minutes, the numbers shifted to six figures and kept on rising.


    When Wen Qinxi walked into the bathroom he was struck dumb when he saw the tub filled with so much foam that no one could see the bottom. He couldn''t help but suspect Qie Xieling poured out the entire bottle so he asked, "Did you use the whole bottle?" while taking off his t-shirt.


    Qie Xieling shook his head with a smile before raising two fingers from under the water. It was then that Wen Qinxi noticed the two empty bottles on the floor. It''s a good thing the bathtub was huge otherwise the entire floor would be covered in foam. Though it would have been nice to have a DIY foam party.


    While Wen Qinxi was making himself a billionaire, somewhere in the middle of downtown at the Su family headquarters, Su Long''s ounting director barged into the boardroom in a frenzy.


    "Sir, sir! There is something wrong with our ounts!" yelled the ounting director feeling like his hairline was receding at a visible speed because of this.


    Su Long was initially irritated after being interrupted but judging by the man''s appearance he swallowed his reproach and said, "Speak! What is it?"


    "It''s, it''s," he said watching all the board of directors seated on the round table, "we are being wiped clean!" Just as he said that he turned the tablet screen over and showed them the amount that was fast approaching zero. The boardroom was filled with murmurs but Su Long didn''t even get to calm them down when numerous ringtones and vibrations came from the shareholders'' suit jackets.


    The men simultaneously swiped their phones with some receiving phone calls from banks or their subordinates. Su Long was as confused as them and he was about to yell at the ounting director to stop whatever was happening when his phone also rung.


    With trembling hands, Su Long took out his phone. Before he even unlocked it, the screen went nk before a message appeared on the screen word for word.


    Rome wasn''t built in a day_


    But it was destroyed in one_


    You fucked with the wrong freak_


    Dad_


    These four lines appeared one after another. As one vanished another one appeared and with each sentence, the old man''s face paled even more.


    "Su! Xin!" angrily bellowed the old man before tossing his already useless phone. This was only the beginning of his nightmare.


    ***


    Wen Qinxi who had no idea that he was being cursed by Su Long was currently in a foam-filled bathtubzing around with Qie Xieling. The two went as far as blowing bubbles in the entire bathroom while giggling that they didn''t hear the bedroom door open.


    Because the bedroom door was closed, they didn''t even bother closing the bathroom door so whatever was happening in there reached Qie Ranzhe''s ears. He had tried to watch the monitor but couldn''t see or hear everything. He didn''t want Su Xin nting ideas into his son''s head pushing him out. It was obvious that Su Xin was more fun than himself which might prompt Qie Xieling to choose Su Xin if they part ways. So this control freak decided to eavesdrop which is why he snuck in.


    Qie Ranzhe stood outside the bathroom door for a second listening carefully while watching a few bubbles escape from the bathroom. It was then that he heard a beeping sounding from Qie Xieling''sptop. Curious, he walked over and the on-screen notification shocked him. It turns out Su Xin had cleaned out Su Long''s bank ounts.


    He sat down and carefully scrutinised the information. In just under a minute, Su Xin had stripped the Su family clean taking everything. Qie Ranzhe felt enlightened. He had seriously underestimated Su Xin which was truly concerning. If he can do it to the Su family then didn''t it mean he can do it to Hei Xue despite the organization''s cybersecurity.


    Qie Ranzhe was so immersed in his snooping that he didn''t notice the two had exited the bathroom wrapped in bath towels. The two had soaked till their fingers were pruny which meant Qie Ranzhe had been snooping for a very long time.


    Wen Qinxi and Qie Xieling silently stood at the bathroom door watching the intruder who was so engrossed in his hical behaviour. "Seen enough?" asked Wen Qinxi with a raised brow while leaning against the door frame.


    Qie Ranzhe who had been caught in the act, pursed his lips feeling regretful. He lost himself in the information forgetting he could get caught at any moment. In his guilt, he realised one thing. Besides bringing down the Su family was there any other reason for Su Xin to get this much money? Was he nning on leaving?


    He slowly raised his head and mmed theptop shut with his wolfish gaze fixed on Su Xin. It seemed the little bunny was nning on running away after nibbling on the farmer''s cabbages. How could he let that happen?

 Chapter 309: Fourth World: Threatening Each Other Or Shooting A Softcore AV?

    Chapter 309: Fourth World: Threatening Each Other Or Shooting A Softcore AV?


    Animals like dogs and birds have sensitive instincts, a keen sense of smell and hearing giving them the ability to sense impending storms. Have you ever wondered why dogs freak out before a storm? It''s this exact ability that gives them heads up leaving enough time to run for cover.


    It turns out like animals, humans also have this ability known as a gut feeling and ever since Wen Qinxi got into this game, he seemed to be more sensitive to it. For example, in this situation, his intuition was literally screaming at him as soon as Qie Ranzhe''s attitude changed. Who knows what got this boss riled up this time.


    Qie Ranzhe''s stony gaze remained on Su Xin with an overpowering aura that sent chills down Wen Qinxi''s spine.


    It seemed even Qie Xieling could sense something was up which is why he kept his mouth shut his gaze moving between Su Xin and his enraged father. For once in his life, he was at a loss on what to do. He wanted to give them space but he also didn''t want Su Xin to get hurt trapping him in a dilemma.


    It seemed he didn''t have to stay on the fence any longer because Qie Ranzhe spoke up, his tone steady and indignant. "Take some clothes and go change in my room," he said to Qie Xieling.


    The boy wanted to say something but Qie Ranzhe''s icy murderous gaze had the little dumpling swallowing down his words. Qie Xieling fumbled around in the room like a frightened duckling stalling for time but Qie Ranzhe remained stoical with the least bit of impatience.


    Qie Xieling was constantly ncing over to his two dads that he didn''t even notice he took out a bundle of clothes instead of a single pair. He even picked a pair of sneakers even though it waspletely unnecessary. Hugging his dishevelled bundle in his arms he ambled towards the door and whispered to Su Xin, "Call me if you need my help." Just as he said that the deadly gaze suddenly changed direction amid path like a tornado.


    This startled Qie Xieling so much that he dropped his sneakers scurrying out of the room. The boy didn''t even dare shut the door harshly before disappearing down the corridor.


    Qie Ranzhe clenched his jaw tightly tapping the table, each tap as menacing as the first. His gaze swept Su Xin up and down from head to toe. The man''s longshes reflected the light making those almond-shaped eyes even more alluring.


    Qie Ranzhe found himself unable to look away from the man''s flushed cheeks with the redness spreading down Su Xin''s neck and his slightly exposed corbone.


    This gave off a look simr to a ripe cherry ready to be popped. Qie Ranzhe felt an inexplicable thirst as his gaze lingered on those enticing glossy lips. Recalling the kiss by the river bank, he yearned for that sweet familiar taste.


    The longer he stared the deeper he fell into this bottomless pit. Su Xin was a beguiling person just like the mythical legend, medusa. Alluring yet dangerous. Qie Ranzhe knew he should stay as far away as possible from Su Xin but he couldn''t resist staring at the vixen.


    Wen Qinxi who had just been undressed and caressed inch by inch with those maic eyes couldn''t help but bite his lower lip. He felt his body heat spreading from his face all the way down south.


    Qie Ranzhe managed to extricate himself from Su Xin''s enchantment and strode over slowly in an intimidating posture. In this kind of situation, Su Xin would normally step backwards with a look of disgust in his eyes but things didn''t go as expected.


    Su Xin didn''t take a step back confidently standing his ground like a fierce cub that had zero chance of winning but still chose to put up a fight. This left Qie Ranzhe with no choice but to stop an arm''s length distance away from Su Xin.


    Even then he could still smell the bubblegum scenting from Su Xin which sent goosebumps all over his body. He didn''t like the scent buting from Su Xin it was tantalizing urging him to take a bite.


    Qie Ranzhe clenched his fist painfully to keep himself lucid and said, "You want to leave?" Memories of Qie Xieling crying each time Su Xin left flooded his mind his lust reced with surging rage.


    In his anger, Qie Ranzhe moved a step closer followed by a loud bang as he mmed the wall with his fist.


    "Where the fuck do you think you are going after giving Xieling false hope?" he yelled as a cross-popping vein appeared on his temple.


    Wen Qinxi found it amusing and told himself not to smile so as not to further aggravate the angry man. In the end, he failed biting his lower lip suppressing his smile while averting his gaze. He had to admit this scenario was incredibly hot. It would be a shame if he didn''t take advantage of it.


    He initially intended to push Qie Ranzhe away but as his fingers pressed against the man''s chest to push him away and create some distance, he clutched the man''s cor and drew him closer pressing their bodies together.


    Qie Ranzhe was already angered by Su Xin''s smirk and when his cor was pulled he was about to erupt like a volcano. But the pressure built from his molten fury was suddenly cooled down reced with shock.


    Their bodies were pressed together making Qie Ranzhe''s entire body heat up especially his face but that was the tip of the iceberg. Nothing could have prepared him for what happened next. He felt Su Xin''s warm breath brush against his ear as the man whispered like a lustful lover. "How can I bear to leave when I have a sexy husband..... how about you fuck me tonight and we can finally...," paused Wen Qinxi moving his lips closer till his soft lips were brushing against Qie Ranzhe''s reddened ear, "consummate our marriage."


    The heat in Qie Ranzhe''s face migrated south of the border arousing his junior brother with little effort. A smirk appeared on Wen Qinxi''s face as the bulge below Qie Ranzhe''s belt poked his thigh.


    He slowly released Qie Ranzhe''s cor and caressed the bossy CEO from his firm chest, across the ridges of his abdomen and just as his hand reached the man''s belt his wrist was suddenly painfully grasped.


    Su Xin grimaced in pain but to Qie Ranzhe''s ears, that sound was incredibly enticing. With a deep inhale, Qie Ranzhe let go of him and moved a step backwards. With an eerie smile stered on his face, he said, "Su Xin, don''t you ever dare fuck with me again."


    His tempting eyes were frosty with a hint of lust. This was a warning to Su Xin but this was Wen Qinxi. To him, Qie Ranzhe was basically a paper tiger. Wen Qinxi stared at Qie Ranzhe with his entire body oozing an amateurish seductive air. The kind of seduction that hooked Qie Ranzhe in the first ce.


    Qie Ranzhe followed Su Xin''s hands that were slowly approaching the belt of his lose fitting bathrobe. As the knot loosened he heard Su Xin''s charming voice say, "I am not fuckin with you... I just want you to fuck me." Thest sentence dropped the exact moment when the knot was untied. Just like unwrapping expensive chocte the process was slow and left the onlooker brimming with anticipation.

 Chapter 310: Fourth World: Watching His Own MV (NSFW)

    Chapter 310: Fourth World: Watching His Own MV (NSFW)


    As the robe loosened, Qie Ranzhe turned away before dashing out of that room like he would die if he spends a second more in that room. Like a stupid cod, he fell for the same bait twice. All he knew is that he had to get out of there otherwise it would be game over for him.


    Wen Qinxi fastened his bathrobe and chuckled as he slumped on the couch. Recalling how Qie Ranzhe ran off like his arse was on fire, Wen Qinxi couldn''t help butugh. It seemed tonight the both of them would be suffering in abstinence.


    ***


    Qie Ranzhe had it worse as he ufortably walked over to his office. He would have gone to his room and taken a long shower but he wasn''t sure if Qie Xieling was still there so he chose to head to his office. He shut his door with a loud bang and poured a ss of water with a slight tremble in his fingers.


    Two sses in and the heat in his body didn''t recede. In fact, it increased making his junior brother painfully hard. He didn''t know what Su Xin was ying at which is why he refused to push the man down and fuck him senseless. This meant he had to endure it.


    He poured another ss and decided to delete the footage. When he put cameras in Qie Xieling''s room it was for safety reasons since he was mostly not around. He never thought that one day, it would capture such a lewd scene. Just as he was about to click on the delete button, his wet finger slipped clicking y instead.


    He should have rushed to pause the footage but who was he kidding. Qie Ranzhe was mesmerised vowing to watch it once and delete it right after but the more he watched the greater the addiction.


    Just as the footage got to the good part with Su Xin about to take off his bathrobe, the door was suddenly opened.


    "Ran-ge yo-," said Machu but he was cut off when a stapler hit the door followed by a loud roar,


    "Get the fuck out!"


    Machu, "..."


    He quickly closed the door and ran away as fast as lightning. He didn''t know who pissed off Qie Ranzhe but he didn''t want to suffer torment for something that had nothing to do with him.


    While Machu was saving his own skin, the CEO who had just been interrupted carried on with his x-rated film featuring him as the protagonist. That is after he used a remote to lock his door. He didn''t want to be entangled with Su Xin as the saying goes once bitten twice shy but that didn''t mean he couldn''t keep this for his personal use.


    The sound of a zipper unzipping filled the room releasing a joystick as stiff as a ramrod. Qie Ranzhe pulled over a box of tissues with his gaze fixed on the enchantress who hadn''t featured in his spring dreams for a very long time.


    His hand enveloped his joystick while watching the footage. Lewd sounds permeated the soundproof room with the video reying in a loop.


    The voice of Su Xin came from theptop saying, "I am not fuckin with you... I just want you to fuck me," drove Qie Ranzhe insane as he sped up his movements responding,


    "Yes baby, I want to fuck you so hard.... ah fuck yeah.... shit... I want to fuck your ass and make you cum..... ah, yes."


    This went on for a good while with the CEO quenching his thirst imagining Su Xin crying out his name under him. Memories of that sweet night resurfaced in his mind as he blissfully stroked his throbbing member.


    The sound of his flesh pping against Su Xin flushed perky butt. The sweet moans of the man gasping under him. All these memories flooded his mind as a pleasurable sensation spread all over his entire body while shooting out a huge load.


    His foggy mind finally cleared up as he reached for the box of tissues wiping away the evidence. After cleaning up, Qie Ranzhe leaned back in his chair, his other handzily ced on his forehead. Feelings of guilt, resentment and anger filled his mind.


    He couldn''t understand how someone who broke his heart countless times would have such a hold on him. It was even worse the second time around driving him mad. He couldn''t understand what was so special about Su Xin that he would be this shameless.


    Despite having repressed the fire within him, he still felt the urge to sleep with Su Xin but logic detects that would make him the dumbest man alive. He had to figure out a solution and cure his addiction before it''s toote.


    ***


    While someone was trying to suppress his desire for Su Xin, the culprit was in his pyjamas while shopping online. He couldn''t buy a lot of things because once summer vacation was over they would have to leave this Vi and go back to the main house. It''s just that he had had enough of these clothes and wanted to get something special for Qie Xieling and Qie Ranzhe.


    While browsing, Qie Xieling entered Su Xin''s room and sat right beside him with a trace of worry in his gaze. He had no idea what his dads talked about but he heard his daddy swearing out loud in his office which never happened before. Su Xin must have infuriated his daddy.


    "Is he, is he kicking you out?" asked Qie Xieling with a brittle voice. He had already mapped up a perfect n in his mind. If Su Xin gets kicked out, he would get Uncle Machu to help him find an apartment close to his school for Su Xin.


    This way he would go over to the apartment during the day and go home at night. If his daddy forbade him then he would skip ss and go over for a visit. With that in mind, he approached Su Xin to present his solution.


    Wen Qinxi wrapped his arm around Su Xin''s shoulders before rubbing his hair affectionately saying, "It''s nothing you should worry about. Me and your father, we are good.... besides, he can''t get rid of me that easily."


    Relieved, Qie Xielingy his head on Su Xin''s shoulder saying, "Okay," in a lowered voice. If Su Xin says there was nothing wrong then he would naturally believe him. Though he would begin to have doubts when Qie Ranzhe avoided Su Xin like the gue in the next three days. At that time he would also repeat the very same question.

 Chapter 311: Fourth World: Do You Like My Daddy

    Chapter 311: Fourth World: Do You Like My Daddy


    For three days straight, Qie Ranzhe was giving Wen Qinxi a wide berth at proportional scales. The way Qie Ranzhe avoided Su Xin sparked rumours that he had an infectious disease that''s harmful to adults. This ultimately resulted in some servants and bodyguards keeping a distance consciously or subconsciously.


    Wen Qinxi noticed their odd behaviour but didn''t care much about it. His only concern was Qie Xieling. The rest were mere backdrops with little to no significance.


    He knew why Qie Ranzhe was avoiding him but he didn''t actively seek him out. It was mostly because he had gone too farst and if he kept pressing, Qie Ranzhe might retaliate. It was better for him to wait for the information to sink in. Besides, there was no rush so he didn''t speak to him.


    The only interaction they had was in the presence of Qie Xieling. Even in that kind of situation, Qie Ranzhe would call Qie Xieling to go with him and didn''t say a word to Su Xin.


    This odd behaviour had Qie Xieling worried. His dad had said he wouldn''t be kicked out from the mansion but at the rate things were going, he might end up losing Su Xin. This is why he was in the kitchen trying toe up with ideas for his dads to make up.


    He was sitting on a barstool watching Su Xin making lunch. He hade to the kitchen on the pretence of getting help with his essay. But as it turns out, he wasn''t doing his assignment at all. Instead, he was trying to feel out Su Xin.


    "Do you like my daddy?" was the first question tossed at the unsuspecting Wen Qinxi. The question startled him so much that he almost burnt the pecan nuts he was frying. He wasn''t even sure if parents were supposed to discuss such things with their kids.


    Wen Qinxi''s back stiffened but he didn''t immediately turn around."Why do you say that?" while rescuing the pecan nuts from an unfortunate end.


    Qie Xieling didn''t answer immediately, chewing on his pen as though thinking through the question seriously. A sizzling sound came from the wok as a tantalizing fragrance filled the entire room diverting Qie Xieling''s attention. "What are you making?" he curiously asked while lifting his head to see. It seemed he hadpletely forgotten to answer the question because of food.


    Wen Qinxi stirred the contents of the wok and answered unhurriedly, "Kung Pao chicken... Lin Lin, you didn''t answer my question."


    Qie Xieling who was drooling with wide eyes watching the stove finally snapped out of it and said, "Because you behave like this girl at school who likes me. She used to do stuff for me and buy me lots of snacks."


    Wen Qinxi was thunderstruck turning his head slowly to look at his son. He switched the stove off and set the wok aside not sure how to handle this situation. Qie Xieling was right at the age where puppy love and experimentation be the norm but how was he supposed to deal with it? He had no idea how to react to this situation. Was he going to be a grandpa in his mid-twenties? ''Fuck no!''


    Seeing his dad distraught with an ashen face, he somewhat understood and reassured him. "Don''t worry I don''t like her... I let her down," said Qie Xieling with an earnest look on his face.


    Just as Wen Qinxi heaved a sigh of relief, Qie Xieling had to open his mouth again. "I told her I like boys."


    Wen Qinxi, "....."


    Okay, now he really didn''t know what to do. He couldn''t think of a good response and decided to ask an awkward question when the steward interrupted them.


    The old man felt the awkwardness when he walked into the kitchen but didn''t focus on it for long as a mouthwatering scent overwhelmed his senses. Ever since Su Xin came back, he took charge of Qie Xieling''s meals and no one else had the privilege to taste it. This made him a little envious of the young master.


    The chef was good but that was a job it couldn''t bepared to food made out of love. These kinds of meals always have a unique feel to them unfortunately it was exclusive to the VIP, Qie Xieling. The old man cleared his throat and said, "Sir, there is a delivery for you."


    Wen Qinxi''s eyes brightened brushing away their peculiar conversation to the back of his mind. He quickly made the sauce and tossed all the ingredients in. In under five minutes, a steamy bowl of rice with Kang Pao chicken was served to Qie Xieling. He ced his bowl right next to Qie Xieling and said, "I will be right back... oh, and don''t eat this. It''s extra hot."


    Qie Xieling smiled while nodding showing that he understood. With a pair of chopsticks on his lips, Qie Xieling watched Su Xin dash out of the room in excitement. He was about to focus on his bowl of food when he saw the steward staring at him with an envious gaze.


    Qie Xieling, "...."


    That look sent the steward flying out of the room. He recalled how pissed off Qie Xieling was when his fudge was robbed from the fridge. The young master was especially terrifying which left a psychological shadow on his poor soul. So he made a resolute decision to save his skin before the young master bore his fangs.


    Qie Xieling was pleased seeing the steward running off. This was made for him by Su Xin and he wasn''t intent on sharing. Hell, he would rather give the steward his violin instead of his lunch. Little did he know that the steward was the least of his worries. There was someone way overbearing and greedying from the garden.


    For the past few days, Qie Ranzhe began operation ''hide and don''t seek'' which had proved sessful but there was one problem. He could barely catch a strand of Qie Xieling. Even when he called him over the kid wouldn''t stay longer than five minutes. This made Qie Ranzhe incredibly displeased. He began to think that his son had abandoned him. The kid didn''t even have meals with him choosing to eat in Su Xin''s room.


    Another strange thing was that the scent of fooding from the kitchen didn''t seem to corrte with the meals served to him and Machu. The two men investigated and found out they didn''t have VIP ess to Su Xin''s cuisine. At first, he didn''t care but after his senses were assaulted by that delectable fragrance countless times, Qie Ranzhe grew curious.


    Today he happened to be standing outside making a phone call when the overwhelming aroma wafted into the garden with the cool breeze. Because of this direct assault, Qie Ranzhe couldn''t bear it any longer. Using the excuse that this was his house and he pays all the bills, he confidently strode into the kitchen and found Qie Xieling sitting on the bar stool wolfing down a bowl of food.


    He heaved a sigh of relief when he didn''t spot Su Xin otherwise it would be more awkward. "What are you eating?" asked Qie Ranzhe leaning against the countertop.


    Qie Xieling felt a great sense of danger when he raised his head and saw Qie Ranzhe. He instinctively huddled his bowl and said, "Nothing..... why, why are you asking?"


    Qie Ranzhe''s eye twitched seeing Qie Xieling guarding his bowl with great vignce. What was so special about that bowl that he had to act like Qie Ranzhe was stealing his favourite toy? "How about you give daddy this much," asked Qie Ranzhe with his fingers gesturing a perfunctory amount.

 Chapter 312: Fourth World: Food Before Bros

    Chapter 312: Fourth World: Food Before Bros


    Qie Xieling wasn''t stupid, he knew that amount can range from a mouthful to the entire bowl. "Why don''t you ask Su Xin to make you some? I am sure he won''t refuse," suggested the sensible child to the unreasonable adult.


    "You!.... you won''t understand. It''s adult stuff. So are you going to share or not?" replied Qie Ranzhe displeased with his unfilial son.


    "Well, because of adult stuff you will miss out. That has nothing to do with me," replied Qie Xieling remaining resolute in his decision.


    "Fine, fine be stingy to the person who gave birth to you," said Qie Ranzhe resorting to emotional ckmail but that didn''t work on a veteran like Qie Xieling. Qie Ranzhe had dined in the finest restaurants across the world and Su Xin''s cooking was not worth fighting over.


    He rubbed Qie Xieling''s hair before turning to walk away when he noticed another bowl covered with a te right beside Qie Xieling.


    A malicious smile appeared on his face as he casually sat beside Qie Xieling and asked, "Whose is this?" while uncovering the contents. His eyes beamed when he saw it was the same thing Qie Xieling was eating though it had a slightly different aroma.


    Qie Xieling knew very well how his daddy couldn''t handle spicy things but he didn''t stop him. "It''s Su Xin''s. He went to get a delivery... I wouldn''t eat it if I were you," said Qie Xieling with an evil smile on his face. His daddy was just like a teenager. The more you told him not to do something, the more curious he would be. And sure enough, Qie Ranzhe took a pair of chopsticks and said,


    "Ssshhh, don''t tell on me... Just one taste."


    One can easily guess what happened next. Qie Ranzhe didn''t immediately feel the heat on his tongue after eating two mouthfuls. At the third mouthful, all hell broke loose as he began to sweat profusely, his tongue on fire.


    He abruptly stood up and opened the tap with his mouth directly under the faucet. The usually calm and collect crime boss had finally met his match.


    His son watched with great interest snickering as though watching aedy series. This is the exact scene that Wen Qinxi walked into. He had dyeding back to the kitchen because he was hiding something that Qie Xieling shouldn''t see. Only to find Qie Ranzhe with his head under the faucet while his son was in the peanut gallery eating some melon seeds.


    That''s when he turned his attention to the now open bowl and a pair of chopsticks. It seemed Qie Ranzhe had helped himself to his food. Wen Qinxi took out a carton of milk and poured it out in a ss before tapping Qie Ranzhe''s shoulder.


    Qie Ranzhe turned around about to snap at whoever dared to disturb him when he saw a ss of milk right in front of him. He wanted to refuse but Wen Qinxi directly ced it in his hand. "Water only makes it worse..... drink it," said Wen Qinxi with a hint of worry. He discovered in the second world that Qie Ranzhe''s aversion to spicy foods was not only because of the heat but also the stomach cramps that follow after consumption.


    "Lin Lin, didn''t I tell you it was spicy? Why did you let your daddy eat it?" asked Wen Qinxi pouring out a second ss.


    "It''s not my fault. I told him it''s yours but he didn''t listen," said Qie Xieling feeling wronged. He didn''t disclose all the information but that didn''t warrant him a scolding.


    Qie Ranzhe drank the second ss and only managed to speak when the tingling heat subsided. "Is that what you have been giving Xieling?" pointing at the almost empty bowl.


    "No, that''s mine. His is non-spicy," replied Wen Qinxi as he sat down next to Qie Xieling.


    "Seriously? No one in their right mind would be able to stand that?" refuted Qie Ranzhe. He had stayed with Su Xin for so many years before they had a falling out. In all those years he never saw Su Xin eating spicy food so what was this? A change in taste?


    Wen Qinxi smirked and took the very same chopsticks that Qie Ranzhe had used earlier and ate the entire bowl in front of him. Qie Ranzhe looked at Su Xin aghast. He concluded Su Xin wasn''t human. The man ate the entire bowl without flinching or any signs of difort unlike him who had a flushed face with just two mouthfuls.


    "I am curious... why did you eat something that wasn''t yours in the first ce? Is it that you want me to cook for you as well?" said Wen Qinxi in a mocking tone. The guy dared to ignore him so it was only fair that he teases him.


    Who would have expected Qie Ranzhe to walk out without saying a word? With his flushed face, it was hard to tell if he was angry or embarrassed.


    Guessing embarrassed, Wen Qinxi prepared a full course meal, packed it in a bento and gave it to Machu to deliver it to the timid man''s office where he had spent the rest of the day locked up.


    Machu knocked several times with memories of the stapler hitting the door a couple of days ago etched in his brain. He didn''t want to end up in the same situation as before so he knocked like an obedient child.


    After getting permission, he walked in and ced the bento on a coffee table saying, "Su Xin made this for you." He was crossing his fingers that the man would be stupid enough to refuse. Like everyone else, he was also curious about Su Xin''s cooking. The aroma was enticing so it must be that the food is good as well, right?


    Qie Ranzhe raised his head slightly ncing over the neat bento before looking back at the documents on his desk. "Take it back," he said in a stern voice like he didn''t care.


    Machu tried to suppress his joy hugging the bento while heading for the door. "I understand, boss. I will go dispose of it." We all know what he meant by ''dispose of it'' but it''s not our ce to expose the man.


    It seemed Qie Ranzhe sensed something in Machu''s voice and said, "No need to trouble you. ce it on the coffee table and I will return it to him after I am done." By ''return it to him'' we all know it would be returned empty.


    Machu reluctantly ced the bento on the coffee table but he didn''t give up. Wouldn''t it be a waste taking back a perfectly packed meal? "Ran-ge, it wouldn''t be good to waste food. For the sake of reducing food waste how about I help you eat it?" said Machu sitting down. Since Qie Ranzhe didn''t respond he opened the contents and the wonderful aroma filled the room.


    Machu took out a pair of chopsticks but just as he was about to dig in, Qie Ranzhe stood up and sat opposite him. It seemed Qie Ranzhe was going to share with him but this didn''tst long. Three mouthfuls in, the bonds of friendship broke with Qie Ranzhe taking away the entire bento with the words ''food before bros'' written all over his face.


    Su Xin''s food was quite addictive. Addictive enough to have Machu sucking up to Su Xin in the next couple of days.

 Chapter 313: Fourth World: The Most Jealous Species

    Chapter 313: Fourth World: The Most Jealous Species


    There is a saying that goes ''men are the most jealous creatures'' but after today the statement can only be tweaked to ''Wen Qinxi is the most jealous species of men''. Their times he had been green with envy in the past worlds. For instance, when he smelt Zhao Huangzhi''s pheromones on Qie Ranzhe in the second world or when he found out Zhao Huangzhi and Qie Ranzhe were dating.


    His reaction to all this was either pushing Qie Ranzhe away or distancing himself but these actions could be considered subtle. His response could in fact be considered as rational, reasonable and understanding. But this time around there was no subtlety in his response. To fully understand why this firecracker morphed into a firework better yet how this pikachu evolved into a raichu one would have to go two days back in time.


    Let''s time travel and unfold this mystery.


    Two days before evolution:


    Ever since the chilly incident, Wen Qinxi noticed his rtionship with Qie Ranzhe seemed to have improved a whole lot. At least now the man was willing to sit at the same dinner table and enjoy a meal together. Whether it was because Qie Ranzhe wanted to spend more time with Qie Xieling or because of the food it didn''t matter to Wen Qinxi. As long as they could sit together like this it meant the level of favorability had improved.


    What he didn''t know was on the day of the chilli incident, the person Qie Ranzhe was on the phone within the garden was Kai Zi. One might ask, why should Wen Qinxi care about Kai Zi besides him being Qie Ranzhe''s downfall? It''s because the rtionship between Kai Zi and Qie Ranzhe wasn''t the same as Machu with Qie Ranzhe. They weren''t brothers from another mother or brothers by blood, no rtion.


    These two had crossed the thin boundary between friendship and romance or as one would say they no longer had a tonic rtionship. Though it only happened one time initiated by Kai Zi all in the name offorting a distraught brother it gave birth to a serious problem, Kai Zi''s unrequited love. Su Xin leaving and fraternising with women was the greatest catapult to this endeavour.


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t like Kai Zi in that way so he proposed they remain friends on ount of the number of years they had known each other and their strong friendship. Kai Zi agreed and continued acting like everything was fine but everything was not fine. That morning he was about to confess his feelings but who would have expected Qie Ranzhe to say such words.


    Now, that same person wasing over due to that phone call. Qie Ranzhe happened to disclose that Su Xin hadn''t run off yet and from the tone of his voice Kai Zi sensed something was wrong. Like a tiger whose territory had been intruded upon, Kai Zi decided to pay a visit to the ind. He even brought along his older brother Kai Zheng, a male god in the entertainment industry. His reason for this would be revealed in the near future.


    As the 4x4 trucks tracked up the slope with a view of the vi on the horizon, Kai Zheng finally asked, "What makes you think he will like me? If Ran-ge couldn''t bend him then what makes you think I can?" Kai Zheng had no idea Kai Zi liked Qie Ranzhe when he came along to this trip. He wouldn''t have agreed toe if it weren''t for the name Su Xin. He had seen him a couple of times in the past but the man was like a fleeting spirit never staying in one ce for long.


    Though he wasbelled a freak by countless people in the underworld to others he was a unique treasure that they couldn''t wait to get their hands on especially for Kai Zheng. His obsession was as real as day that Kai Zi easily noticed which is why his younger brother was able to draw him in with ease.


    "You''re thinking too much. You don''t have to be this nervous... Take it as you getting to know him," replied Kai Zi trying to calm his brother''s nerves.


    "Okay," replied Kai Zheng while nervously rubbing his sweaty palms.


    To Kai Zi, it would be great if Kai Zheng and Su Xin fall in love and be together forever. At least that would get rid of his love rival. But that wasn''t the main objective.


    He was just hoping Kai Zheng would keep Su Xin busy while he cultivates feelings with Qie Ranzhe. He wanted to make sure Qie Ranzhe won''t fall for Su Xin again. In the past, he didn''t need to worry about it because Su Xin would escape all the time. This time it seemed something was different which is why he had to take drastic measures.


    As thend rover entered themunity, the two men stepped out of the car with the steward weing them. When they entered the beautiful Victorian style home, Su Xin and Qie Xieling were ying a game on the console. Qie Xieling had all kinds of fancy toys but his unique personality meant he was never interested in such things. He was only ying now because Su Xin wanted to show off his mediocre skills. It turns out his dad was pretty good at it rousing his interest.


    This scene stupefied Kai Zi so much that his smile stiffened. The two had justpleted a level and Su Xin was rubbing Qie Xieling''s hair intimately like a father doting on his son. They were so immersed in their game that they didn''t even notice Kai Zi standing there like a statue.


    "Psst..... young master," whispered the steward to Qie Xieling. He knew the rtionship between Qie Xieling and Kai Zi was cordial throughout the years which is why he dared disturb his young master.


    Qie Xieling who was smiling like the radiant sun turned his head to look at the steward only to have his gazend on Kai Zi.


    "Uncle Zi, what are you doing here?" asked Qie Xieling his smile drooping a little. He seemed friendly but he didn''t stand up to greet him just casually tossing that question. Wen Qinxi''s attention was also grasped at this moment.


    When he saw who it was, his expression became unreadable but internally he was burning like moltenva under the hot desert sun. This man was responsible for Qie Ranzhe''s downfall. He didn''t know about the ambiguous rtionship between Qie Ranzhe and Kai Zi so his hate was based on the game files.


    He had to figure out a way to get rid of this man otherwise Qie Ranzhe would face the same fate as before. The only problem was that Kai Zi had a strong rtionship with Qie Ranzhe making this task almost impossible.


    Their gazes met for a split second before Kai Zi responded to Qie Xieling''s question. "Huh?.... Is this how you greet your favourite uncle? Come on,e give me a hug," said Kai Zi opening up his arms for a hug.


    Qie Xieling''s expression had a subtle change. He didn''t want to but for the sake of his Daddy''s friendship with this uncle, Qie Xieling stood up reluctantly and walked over to him. Kai Zi''s piercing gaze provocativelynded on Su Xin as he hugged Qie Xieling. No matter how Wen Qinxi looked at it this action seemed to give off a reprehensible meaning.

 Chapter 314: Fourth World: Another Love Rival

    Chapter 314: Fourth World: Another Love Rival


    To be more exact it tranted to ''your son is mine and there is nothing you can do about it''. Wen Qinxi was a bit confused but he did a good job hiding it. What vexed him was Kai Zi''s actions. If they were friends with Qie Ranzhe and Kai Zi adored Qie Xieling why did he betray the man in the end?


    Wen Qinxi was curious but whatever the reason, it didn''t matter because he was going to stop Kai Zi from ruining Qie Ranzhe in the end. It was for this reason that he didn''t dwell on it much with his gaze falling back on the game console.


    Qie Xieling wanted to go back and carry on ying with his dad but Kai Zi kept embracing him while introducing the tall handsome man who had his gaze set on Su Xin this entire time. Qie Xieling naturally noticed this odd gaze and felt like taking a towel to cover Su Xin''s face. ''Who does he think he''s looking at?'' said Qie Xieling internally with his dark eyes staring at this frivolous man.


    Qie Xieling didn''t even shy away from Kai Zheng and asked an awkward question. "Uncle, what are you looking at?" he asked almost standing on his tippy toes to make himself look taller.


    Kai Zheng was so embarrassed that he stopped staring while nervouslyughing but ncing over in Su Xin''s direction. To his dismay, it seemed the man didn''t even notice him. "It''s um..... it''s a good painting," he said pointing at the painting hung on the wall past Su Xin.


    "Good painting indeed but please refrain yourself from staring too long at things that don''t belong to you otherwise....," said Qie Xieling with an innocent face that made one not take his words seriously but his eyes were as frosty as the south pole, cold and unfeeling.


    "Otherwise what?" said Qie Ranzhe who had shown up at some point without anyone noticing. Qie Xieling lowered his gaze making him seem guilty but in truth, he had a slight grin on his face. "Xieling stop talking nonsense and go do your homework... and don''te out for two hours," said Qie Ranzhe in an imperative tone that made it hard for Qie Xieling to defy.


    Biting the nail on his index finger, he walked over to drag along Su Xin but who would have expected Qie Ranzhe to forbid him. "By yourself. Su Xin can''t go with you," said Qie Ranzhe his deadly stare on his son.


    Qie Xieling could easily ept punishment but he couldn''t ept the punishment without Su Xin. What if this tall stranger takes his dad away. Two hours was more than enough time to make a grown man disappear. He was prepared to stand his ground glowering at his daddy in dissatisfaction.


    He was about to do the unthinkable and openly oppose Qie Ranzhe in front of outsiders when Su Xin pulled him into his embrace and whispered something in his ear. "Dad has a surprise for you now, be good and do as daddy says. When the two hours are up,e to the back garden, okay?" whispered Wen Qinxi before showing the kid a sweet smile that melted Qie Xieling''s heart.


    Qie Xieling shook his head and ran upstairs ready to start the two hours. The earlier it starts the earlier it finishes. The two didn''t notice the awkward gaze directed at them, each peculiar than the next. Machu was amused, Kai Zheng was mesmerised but Kai Zi was thunderstruck, his face a weird shade of sickly pale. Qie Ranzhe, on the other hand, was a jumble of feelings resembling a disorienting mosaic.


    He knew Qie Xieling''s rtionship with Su Xin had improved but this was a bit too much. Anger, resentment, joy, concern were just some of the feelings wailing up within. He couldn''t me his son for being enchanted by Su Xin and it was for this same reason that he wasn''t going to let Su Xin go.


    "You guys seem to have a lot to talk about so... I will be heading out," said Wen Qinxi after being stared at like he had something on his face.


    He was about to step away when Kai Zi ambled over to Qie Ranzhe and embraced him saying, "Ran-ge, I missed you," in a coquettish tone that could be interpreted a thousand ways but Wen Qinxi could only think of one meaning.


    Believing he was overthinking it he turned to leave but Kai Zi addressed him directly. "Don''t go as yet, Xin-ge. I just wanted to introduce you to my brother Zheng-ge. I have some business to discuss with Ran-ge so I was thinking you could keep himpany."


    When Wen Qinxi turned to face the annoying white lotus, he saw that the man''s arm was intimately wrapped around Qie Ranzhe''s shoulder and Qie Ranzhe the man who wouldn''t even let Machu touch him didn''t push Kai Zi away.


    ''Fuck!'' swore Wen Qinxi with his suspicions confirmed. He thought he had to deal with only Zhao Huangzhi but it turns out he has other love rivals. That arm was a true eyesore. He didn''t want to hang around and get force-fed his husband''s dog food. He slightly nod at Kai Zheng acknowledging his presence but didn''t intend to hang around him so he said, "Your brother, your problem. I am not here to fuckin babysit."


    When he said this the two brothers were taken aback but Qie Ranzhe had a slight smirk on his face. Who knew what he was thinking. Machu on the other hand was just eating melon seeds with the steward. This show was more interesting than the real housewives.


    Just like that, Wen Qinxi walked out without looking back. There was a raging storm brewing within initiating the evolution procedure. If he stayed any longer he might actually bitch p someone.


    "Oh wait, Su Xin," yelled Machu running after Su Xin. Wouldn''t this be a perfect time to rub off some goodwill on the food god?


    Once Su Xin was gone, Qie Ranzhe shrugged Kai Zi''s arm in a friendly manner but to Kai Zi, this was an outright rejection. With a stiff smile, he watched Qie Ranzhe exchange formalities with Kai Zheng. Outwardly, he appeared calm but his mind was chaotic. Su Xin seemed like a different person and from the looks of it, he was here to stay.


    This was seriously putting a damper on his ns. He had to take care of it and establish his territory before Su Xin grows a tail as long as the yellow river. Kai Zheng politely refused to join them in the office as business wasn''t his forte. His forte was someone else but of course, he couldn''t say that aloud.


    Qie Ranzhe knew what he was up to but didn''t make it hard for Kai Zheng to meet up with Su Xin. If anything this was an excellent opportunity to see where Su Xin''s loyalties lie. The person he was more concerned about was Machu. If Su Xin seduces his brother he nned on chopping off Su Xin''s head and hang it on top of Mount Tai.


    With that in mind, he led Kai Zi to his office, a ce with the best view of the back garden. This marked the beginning of the interesting show.

 Chapter 315: Fourth World: Pure Grade Vinegar

    Chapter 315: Fourth World: Pure Grade Vinegar


    It''s not a new phenomenon that parents sometimes use their kids to distract them from matters of the heart. Simrly, some adults even go as far as using pets as a positive way to deal with emotional pain. Wen Qinxi was in no way different. He was using Qie Xieling as a way to distract him from whatever Qie Ranzhe was doing behind closed doors with that eyesore, Kai Zi.


    This is how he is always been. He doesn''t like facing the person head-on choosing to extricate himself from the situation but this time he could sense something was off. He had eaten sour vinegar before but this time it was a few degrees stronger, possibly pure grade white vinegar.


    He kept on sneering and mumbling insults while dragging over a box to the back garden. "Ran-ge, I missed you," he mumbled deliberately imitating Kai Zi''s voice with his lips twitching, "Miss my ass. Fuckin green tea bitch."


    ''Wow, wow, wow. Boss, you have such a venomous tongue. I am so d I am not on the receiving end of that one,'' said Jolie before sucking in cold air.


    ''Do you not have something better to do?'' asked Wen Qinxi unboxing the intable pool.


    ''Oh no, no, no I am definitely staying here. The scent of vinegar is especially strong today so how can I miss this shit show..... Hahahaha. I never thought I did see the day you would drink gallons of vinegar,'' said the system taking a front-row seat to the event of the year.


    Wen Qinxi''s lips twitched once more before a sinister smile crept up on his face. It was obvious he was nning on using the system''s weakness against it. ''Do you want me to call Qie Ranzhe? Let''s see if you will talk shit after that.''


    The system quivered slightly recalling that devilish smile on Qie Ranzhe''s face but soon recovered remembering Wen Qinxi''s current situation. ''Ah, minister of


    crap-iology, that stunt won''t work on me right now. Your Ran-ge is probably performing the dirty dance with the Zi guy... Hahaha, see what I did there? I put crap and iology together. Therefore, crapiology..... Hahahahaha,'' said the systemughing its guts out.


    ''You little asshole..... fuck off,'' replied Wen Qinxi while kicking the empty box away his face red in anger. He wanted to go back to the house to catch the cheating husband and beat the slut half to death but his current status wasn''t conducive. He couldn''t go on sshing dirty water at Qie Ranzhe when he was as filthy as a pig himself. Forced to wear a green hat, Wen Qinxi kicked at the poor box again but just as he lifted his foot he was startled by a hoarse voiceing from behind him causing him to kick air.


    ''HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!'' were theughing sounds of the system reverberating in his ear.


    Wen Qinxi wanted to swear at the system but he had to address this uninvited guest standing behind him so he could only reserve the insults forter.


    As soon as he turned around, he was so frightened that he took an involuntary step backwards. That terrifying maid had snuck up on him like a hideous ghost in a horror movie. She really shouldn''t do this again otherwise this nerd would lose his shit. "What are you sneaking around for? You scared me to death," said Wen Qinxi patting his chest to calm his palpitating heart.


    The maid stared at him unblinkingly before saying, "Sir, what are you doing?" She chose to ignore his words before as she was used to it. Whether it was her unibrows or her gigantic hairy wart on her nose that terrified Su Xin, she didn''t care much. At least her appearancended her this cushy job.


    Wen Qinxi tried to maintain a nk expression but that giant wart was just right there, right in front of him. It was hard to ignore and his eyes would unconsciously linger on it. He really wanted to squeeze it and make it go away.


    The maid who had just had her wart harassed by Su Xin''s eyes cleared her throat loud enough to snap Su Xin out of his trance.


    "Sorry, what''s your name again?" asked Wen Qinxi his eyes still glued on that wart.


    "Helga, sir," she replied feeling a bit awkward being stared at like that.


    Wen Qinxi finally stopped staring and looked at her face as a whole before clearing his throat. "Helga how about I pay for your makeover..... even stic surgery wouldn''t um.... wouldn''t be a bad idea," he said with his fist covering his mouth. He felt bad saying this but he couldn''t help but wonder if her appearance negatively affects her self esteem.


    Normally he wouldn''t suggest this to any woman but Helga''s appearance was truly worrisome.


    Unoffended, Helga replied, "So you can seduce me when I am pretty. No thanks, I am good."


    Wen Qinxi, "....."


    "Fair enough. Can you get the steward to gather six servants? I am nning something special for the young master," said Wen Qinxi pumping the intable pool.


    "No problem," replied Helga before taking a few steps but she soon paused in her tracks and said, "You might be an adulterer but sir, you are a great father."


    ''WTF,'' thought Wen Qinxi raising his head from the hand pump. With his brow raised he dragged his response, "Uh, thankssssss," not sure how to feel about being insulted and praised at the same time.


    As soon as the intable pool took shape, Wen Qinxi pat it in satisfaction before dragging the hose over. He bought automatic fill magic water balloons to y a game with Qie Xieling. Everyone loved a good water balloon fight, right? While filling up the pool another uninvited guest showed out.


    "Xin-ge..... phew, I finally found you," said Machu who had been looking for Su Xin all over the ce. It seemed the man vanished into thin air after dropping a bomb at Kai Zi which is why it took him a long time to find him.


    Bending his waist while trying to catch his breath, Machu asked, "What''s that?" pointing at the unopened packet of water balloons.


    Wen Qinxi stared at him with an expression that seemed to say ''what the fuck are you doing here'' but of course, Machu didn''t get the hint. "Don''t you have something else better to do?" said Wen Qinxi leisurely holding the hose.


    "Hahahaha, you seemed to be in a pretty bad mood..... Tell Laozi, who angered you and I will go beat them up but it will cost you?" said Machu leaning against the intable pool with a smug on his face.


    He really wasn''t in the mood to talk nonsense with Machu but the man didn''t seem to have any ns of leaving so he said, "Your boss..... now go beat him up for me."

 Chapter 316: Fourth World: Ghosts Used The 3D Printer

    Chapter 316: Fourth World: Ghosts Used The 3D Printer


    Hearing this Machu put on his Sherlock Holmes hat trying to figure out what Qie Ranzhe could have possibly done to offend Su Xin today. Thinking about what just happened a few minutes ago, Machu had a hunch. He casually said, "What are you mad about? It''s not like you like Ran-ge anyway," throwing it out into the universe with no care. He was about to chuckle but judging on Su Xin''s expression, it seemed he had struck a nerve.


    "Wait, what? For real... oh shit! Hahahaha... Hell no," said Machu thunderstruck. What was this situation? You love me but I don''t love you but now that you don''t love me I love you now?


    "What the fuck!"


    Wen Qinxi silently watched theckey having a major freak out with his hand gripping the hoes. This put the water under pressure causing a massive backlog. Once he was done getting surprised, Machu gathered his emotions and began to think like a businessman.


    "How about I help you get Ran-ge and you include me at the dinner table for the next two years," said Machu trying to bargain with the food god. He was fairly certain Su Xin would agree but who would have expected that Su Xin would directly point the hoes at him and let go of his tight grip.


    Once the pressure was released a gush of water drenched Machu with his appearance resembling that of a wet dog. "Su! Xin!...You!"


    "Still not leaving?" said Wen Qinxi aiming the hose at him once more effectively getting rid of the scourge.


    This event was witnessed by the tall stalker standing by the floor to ceiling window on the second floor of the mansion. He couldn''t hear what they were saying but his hand tightly gripped the whiskey ss in his hand.


    Qie Ranzhe wanted to believe nothing was happening between the two but when he saw Su Xin yfully spray water on Machu, his heart tightened. He wasn''t even listening to Kai Zi anymore contemting on whether to go ask Machu what they were talking about.


    "Ran-ge!" yelled Kai Zi who had been calling out to Qie Ranzhe three times already. He was trying to operate the 3D printer just now but kept getting an error message. Kai Zi realised Qie Ranzhe''s mind was elsewhere when he called him for the second time and didn''t get a response. He was about to stand up and see what had the man distracted but Qie Ranzhe finally responded.


    "Huh?" asked Qie Ranzhe cing the ss on the desk before walking over to him.


    Kai Zi put on a sweet smile and said, "It keeps giving me an error message," pointing at the misbehaving 3D printer.


    Qie Ranzhe''s brows furrowed as he leaned down typing something on the keyboard. Kai Zi''s heart couldn''t help but flutter with Qie Ranzhe''s face right next to his. He blushed with his palms instantly turning mmy.


    He couldn''t help but chastise himself for worrying too much. This man was obviously uninterested in Su Xin especially after Su Xin had screwed up so many times. No amount of goodwill could wash that man clean. With this in mind, he ogled at Qie Ranzhe''s stern face. He had to admit, Qie Ranzhe looked especially handsome when focused.


    Unable to resist the smooth skin on Qie Ranzhe''s face, Kai Zi leaned in closer to kiss the man''s cheek. His heart pounded faster and faster as he drew closer to his goal but just as he was about to hit a homerun, Qie Ranzhe suddenly moved putting an end to his n.


    It seemed Qie Ranzhe didn''t notice he was about to get taken advantage off with his attention on his phone. He was messaging Machu about the printer running out of fment.


    Q: Didn''t ITe over to service the printer?


    Machu didn''t take long to reply saying,


    MachoMachu: They did. What''s wrong?


    Q: We are out of fment.


    MachoMachu: Impossible unless a ghost snuck in just to use the 3D printer


    MachoMachu: Can ghosts use 3D printers


    Q:?


    After a moment of hesitation, Qie Ranzhe asked the million dor question with a loud tapping sound echoing in the room.


    Q: What did you talk to Su Xin about?


    MachoMachu: typing...


    Thirty secondster,


    MachoMachu: typing...


    Q:?


    Qie Ranzhe was starting to lose his patience seeing that Machu seemed to stay on typing for a long time. How long was this message? Thinking Machu was typing their entire conversation, Qie Ranzhe decided to be patient.


    While waiting he turned to Kai Zi and said, "It''s out of fment. How about you wait till we get back to the city and I will set it up for you... it''s not urgent, rig-," but he hadn''t finished his sentence when a notification sounded on his phone. He had already been waiting for three minutes but to his astonishment, Machu''s message was so short. Where were the paragraphs and paragraphs he was promised?


    MachoMachu: Your wife is too fierce.


    MachoMachu: He almost drowned me with that bloody hose.


    Qie Ranzhe, "....."


    To be fair, Machu didn''t want to be the lightbulb in this rtionship so after much thinking, he decided not to expose the contents of their conversation. Saying something was equivalent to digging his own grave for either Qie Ranzhe or Su Xin to bury him alive.


    While Qie Ranzhe was trying to figure out a way to have Machu spill his guts out, Wen Qinxi had sessfully figured out how to fill up the water balloons. He excitedly shook the colourful balloons off the straws when yet again, he was visited by another guest.


    Thinking it was Machu, he said, "Seems I have to waterboard you to get you to leave me alone," while attaching a new batch on the other end of the hose.


    "I would dly ept but the only issue is that I might not be able to leave you alone after that," said a deep male voice unfamiliar to Wen Qinxi.


    Puzzled, Wen Qinxi turned around only to find Mr Film Emperor standing behind him with a coy smile.


    Wen Qinxi, ''WTF.''


    Seeing his surprise, Kai Zheng lightly chuckled and extended his hand saying, "May I?" referring to the hose. It seemed Mr Handsome over here was nning on being a gentleman andnd a hand to the damsel.

 Chapter 317: Fourth World: How To Deal With A Kid Who Finds Something They Shouldnt

    Chapter 317: Fourth World: How To Deal With A Kid Who Finds Something They Shouldn''t


    ''He wants to bone you,'' whispered the system to the clueless nerd. With how dense Wen Qinxi is, it was afraid it would take them moving to the fifth world for him to realise he was being hit on.


    Wen Qinxi heard the system loud and clear. Though he couldn''t understand how the system could tell with a single look, he took it as fact. Handing over the hose, he strode a few steps away and called over a bodyguard patrolling nearby.


    ''What is he doing now?'' asked Wen Qinxi while waiting for the bodyguard toe over.


    ''Oh shit, so thick faced. He is inspecting the goods... Oh, let me say it in anguage you can understand. He. is. checking. out. your. ass." said the system annunciating each word individually.


    It thought Wen Qinxi would just yell at the guy that is until it saw Wen Qinxi borrow the bodyguard''s gun.


    Skeptical, the bodyguard reluctantly handed it over. Ever since he found out it was Su Xin''s defence strategy that helped them protect the Vi, he had a newfound respect for the man. He only hesitated giving the man his gun because he was worried Su Xin would shoot the eldest young master of the Kai family.


    Wen Qinxi grabbed the handgun and aimed it a Kai Zhang''s neck. He already had pre-existing anger and this idiot a.k.a pervert just had to touch his bottom line.


    The cold barrel caused Kai Zheng''s entire body to stiffened but for some reason, he wasn''t scared. He was excited to some extent but didn''t dare show it on his face.


    "Seen enough?" whispered Wen Qinxi feeling his entire chest burning up in rage. He didn''t like his ns getting disrupted and Kai Zheng was doing exactly that. It was only now that he realised it was all a setup. The whole babysit my brother by the fuckboy was all for this. This justified his actions right now.


    "Stay the fuck away from me or I will shoot your little brother down south the next time," said Wen Qinxi before handing the gun back to the anxious bodyguard. He had called him over for something else but after the system enlightened him, he naturally had to take advantage.


    Kai Zheng felt a sense of loss when the man with a bubblegum scent parted from him. Just now they were so close that he smelt the sweet scenting from Su Xin. Instead, of being scared away, Kai Zheng was even more certain that he was looking at the father of his future child. Wouldn''t that be great?


    Wen Qinxi ignored the masochist of a man who didn''t heed his warning. At least Kai Zheng was no longer eyeing him like an animal in heat. The man had his head lowered tapping on his phone.


    EmperorKZ: I think I am in love.


    A vibrating sound echoed in Qie Ranzhe''s office. They were discussing how to finish off Su Long when Kai Zi''s phone vibrated with an iing message. Seeing it was his brother, Kai Zi picked it up and began to respond.


    Qie Ranzhe had been standing at the window a second ago but he suddenly sat down with a smile on his face. He was obviously in a good mood but Kai Zi didn''t know why. He was just happy Qie Ranzhe was no longer ignoring him bing even more talkative.


    It pained him to answer the message instead of chatting it up with his crush but he had to find out if Kai Zheng was making any progress. His brother''s message had him confused so he responded,


    KingKai: Why? What happened


    EmperorKZ: He threatened me with a gun


    Kai Zi furrowed his brows unable to connect how being threatened by a gun rtes to falling in love. He was about to reply when another message came through.


    EmperorKZ: Now am seriously in love. Can you convince Ran-ge to divorce him?


    A thunderstruck Kai Zi lifted his head to look at Qie Ranzhe but the man seemed to be in cloud nine like he had just heard or seen something amusing.


    Kai Zi wasn''t wrong, Qie Ranzhe was in cloud nine because he had just witnessed Su Xin threaten Kai Zheng which he found amusing. This helped him make a very crucial decision that would shake the entire underworld.


    Meanwhile, Wen Qinxi left the weirdo hanging out in the garden by himself. He filled up a bazooka water gun in the kitchen sink and went after Qie Xieling who had exceeded two hours but showed no signs ofing out.


    Wen Qinxi opened the door to Qie Xieling''s room ready to initiate a surprise attack on the boy but to his surprise, he wasn''t there. Perplexed, Wen Qinxi walked over to his own room having a bad premonition. Sure enough, Qie Xieling was in there holding up a sexy maid costume Wen Qinxi had worked so hard to hide. In the third world, Qie Ranzhe had made a special request after Feng Yu blew up his truck so Wen Qinxi bought this so he could finally fulfil the man''s request. Who would have thought that his naughty son would find it?


    "Dad, what''s this?" asked Qie Xieling with an innocent expression while turning the slutty costume around.


    Wen Qinxi, "..."


    Taking down the water gun hanging on his shoulder he aimed at Qie Xieling and said, "Put it back or else."


    Qie Xieling didn''t dally putting it back where he found it but unfortunately, that didn''t save him from getting wet. As soon as he closed that drawer, a ssh of water was sprayed on him wetting his clothes.


    Startled, he looked down at his wet clothes shouting, "Dad, you ruined my outfit."


    "HAHAHAHAHA!! You deserve it you little brat,"ughed Wen Qinxi amused by Qie Xieling''s reaction.


    "You made my clothes wet so it''s only fair I shoot you once," said Qie Xieling moving forward to grab the water gun but who would have thought Su Xin would lift it high before making a break for it.


    Taken aback, he watched his dad run off like the wind. He was about to say, "Childish!" when his clothes were once again drenched in water.


    "Argh! Su! Xin!..... Forget it," he said letting go of his sensible side before running after Su Xin. As they say, payback is a bitch.

 Chapter 318: Fourth World: Contract?

    Chapter 318: Fourth World: Contract?


    The greatest gift for a parent is the sweetughter of their happy child and this nerd got to experience such a gift once more from such a simple game. When Qie Xieling stepped outside running after his dad, he found a huge intable pool full of colourful water balloons and lost his cool in an instant.


    Despite his age, he hadn''t had much experience ying games let alone this game. Wordless, he fished out a red water balloon dazzling under the hot summer sun and squeezed it with his tiny hands as a heartwarming sweetness spread all over his chest. ''Su Xin did this for me,'' he said to himself his eyes reddening with emotion.


    Wen Qinxi could see something was off with Qie Xieling and if the kid continued down this path, he would possibly cry. He had to be a jerk and bring Qie Xieling back otherwise this afternoon would end in tears.


    In a swift motion, he sprayed the kid with water making Qie Xieling''s back arch as the cool stream touched his skin. Qie Xieling who had already been sshed three times by Su Xin couldn''t hold back anymore. He turned around and flung the water balloon in his hand at the unsuspecting Su Xin.


    It seemed the bookworm had such good aim despite having not participated in many sporting events. Like a legendary pitcher, Qie Xieling urately struck Su Xin''s face.


    Wen Qinxi waspletely dumbfounded by the kid''s uracy but before he could retaliate another water balloon came flying in his direction. Good thing, he had yed this game too often in his childhood so he dodged with ease but there was another unfortunate victim.


    The steward had just arrived in the back garden with a group of servants but just as he spoke, "Sir, are these peo-," his face was graced by a green water balloon striking his elderly face. The old man''s face was wet with his eyes tightly shut. He was frozen stiff due to shock with his index finger hanging midair.


    The scene was incrediblyical that Qie Xieling burst out inughter pointing at the unfortunate steward. Wen Qinxi stifled hisughter while holding up the water gun on his shoulder and said, "Thank you Old Lu. Do you guys mind joining the young master in ying a game?"


    The maids who were restraining theirughter nodded their heads in agreement. Who would pass up an opportunity to fool around all afternoon?


    Pleased, Wen Qinxi smiled and said, "Take five buckets, fill the bottom half with water and fill the top half with water balloons. After you are done, you can ce the buckets in various random ces in the maze then we can start ying," he exined before turning to Qie Xieling who was preparing to slip into the intable pool and swim in a sea of water balloons. His brow raised when he saw the kid with one leg over the intable pool.


    "What are you doing?" asked Wen Qinxi restraining hisughter.


    Qie Xieling paused having been caught and said, "Isn''t it how we y? Isn''t it like a ball pit?"


    Wen Qinxi shook his head with a beaming smile on his face. "Go ahead, just let thedies take out the balloons while you are in there."


    Qie Xieling disregarded that he was fully clothed and swam in the sea of water balloons. When he resurfaced, he yfully sshed water at Su Xin and flung several water balloons like a pro yer. It didn''t take long for Wen Qinxi to be drenched in water like a wet poodle. He counterattacked with a water gun the two of them creating a harmonious scene that could have anyone itching to join in on the fun.


    With a fresh change of clothes, Wen Qinxi officially began the game a.k.a water balloon dodge ball. The purpose of the game was to stay dry as long as possible with the steward as the referee. Just as Wen Qinxi divided them into teams, Kai Zheng somehow found his way back to the garden asking to join. There was no way in hell Wen Qinxi would agree but it seemed Qie Xieling had other ns for the man who tried to steal his dad.


    He tugged at Su Xin''s sleeve and said, "Let him y," with an eerie smile that had Kai Zheng suspicious. His suspicions were soon confirmed because he didn''t evenst five minutes in the game despite being in Su Xin and Qie Xieling''s team.


    His pig teammates not only struck him once but ten times till his t-shirt was sticking to his chest. The two culprits high fived each other while hiding in the bushes.


    Qie Ranzhe knew those two were up to something in the maze but he only found out about it after Kai Zheng came in drenched looking for clothes to temporarily wear while his clothes were in the washer. He had Machu bring over a t-shirt and cks for the film emperor.


    While waiting, Kai Zhen didn''t hesitate to push his agenda asking the question Kai Zi hadn''t managed to bring up yet. "Ran-ge, you and Su Xin..... what''s the situation?" asked Kai Zheng while wiping his damp hair with a towel.


    Qie Ranzhe found this amusing and didn''t hurry to answer while taking out two cans of beer from the bar fridge in his office. Kai Zi who had beennguidly crossing his legs sitting in an armchair had his ears perked up curious to know the answer.


    Qie Ranzhe ambled over and handed a beer can to Kai Zheng before sitting on the armrest of the same chair Kai Zi was sitting on. He smiled while opening the can and asked, "How is that any of your business?"


    The room fell into silence with the two men''s gazes locked in a stalemate. The atmosphere was growing thick and heavy further suppressing Kai Zi into silence. These words were also heard by Machu who had just brought over a clean set of clothes making him suck in a cold breath of air. This made him somewhat not want to enter the room but he had no choice. He strode in and put the clothes in the man''s hands his expression saying ''brother if you still value your life stay out of their business'' but of course, Kai Zheng wouldn''t understand.


    "Show him out so he can change his clothes," said Qie Ranzhe his good mood vanishing in an instant. He didn''t think Kai Zheng would have the balls to ask him such a personal question. It was time he marks his territory and make his position when it came to Su Xin clear. Since the rabbit decided to squat in the python''s hole then how can the python let it go?


    With that in mind, he took a sip of his beer before walking away dialling a number. Kai Zi watched this showdown and his heart leapt up in panic. This look on Qie Ranzhe''s face wasn''t that of a man in love but an obsessed lunatic. He wouldn''t be surprised if Qie Ranzhe locked up Su Xin like a serial killer. It seemed his friend decided on a dark path leaving Su Xin no means of escape.


    Kai Zi had to act fast otherwise he would lose his chance. It would be hard to fish Qie Ranzhe out of the murky waters once he drowns in it.


    "Yes, re-draft the contract from twelve years ago," said Qie Ranzhe while rubbing his nose, "Make sure he has no loopholes."


    This conversationnded in Kai Zi''s ears making him nervously bite his upper lip. He had run out of time. It was either he executes his n tonight or lose Qie Ranzhe forever.

 Chapter 319: Fourth World: Shirtless Water Balloon Champion

    Chapter 319: Fourth World: Shirtless Water Balloon Champion


    While Kai Zi was nning to steal Qie Ranzhe from Su Xin''s clutches, Wen Qinxi and Qie Xieling were hiding in a treehouse dropping water balloons at thedies from the other team.


    They even carried up two buckets of water balloons which meant they wouldn''t run out of ammunition till the end of the game. While keeping watch, Qie Xieling decided to take the opportunity and probe Su Xin for information.


    "Are you... are you going to leave after summer vacation? I... I asked daddy to have you stay till the end of summer vacation but now that it''s about to end... I... I don''t want you to leave," said Qie Xieling not daring to look at Su Xin. He didn''t want his dad to be forced to stay by his side but he was also selfish. He wanted Su Xin to stay by his side. It was his dream toe out of the school gates and find Su Xin waiting for him every day. He didn''t necessarily expect Su Xin to do that for him but he at least wanted to see him every day.


    Wen Qinxi felt his heartache hearing such wordsing out of Qie Xieling. Of course, he wouldn''t leave but this kid had no reassurances after being abandoned more than a dozen times. "Lin Lin, look at dad for a minute," said Wen Qinxi staring straight at Qie Xieling. He needed this child to understand that this character might have made plenty of horrible decisions in the past but he would never leave him and he would use the rest of his time in this world to make up for all the pain he caused.


    Qie Xieling reluctantly looked into his dad''s eyes, his lips pursed into a straight line. He clenched his fist out of nervousness. As much as he wanted to hear the words ''I will never leave you'' he didn''t want them to be forced. He didn''t want to force Su Xin to stay with him.


    "I am sorry for breaking your heart in the past and abandoning you. But I promise from now onwards things will be different... I will never leave and promise to spend the rest of my life making up for my past mistakes. I love you Lin Lin more than you could ever understand," said Wen Qinxi in a sincere tone that convinced Qie Xieling mending his broken heart.


    His words seemed to melt all his grievances away. Qie Xieling embraced Su Xin as a wave of emotions wailed up within him. With the floodgates opened, Qie Xieling began to cry letting out all his frustrations. Wen Qinxi patiently soothing the kid vowing to never hurt him as Su Xin did.


    After crying it out, the two emerged out of the game victorious with Qie Xieling holding a trophy engraved ''Water Balloon Champion'' courtesy of Wen Qinxi. He had pre-ordered the trophy to give it to Qie Xieling so it could save as a reminder for the best summer ever. The two were so excited that they walked into the house shirtless like a footballer celebrating victory.


    The two were engrossed in their celebration as they triumphantly walked upstairs swinging their damp t-shirts with Qie Xieling raising the trophy as the servants jeered them on. Unexpectedly, they bumped into Qie Ranzhe and crew while going up the stairs putting a damper on their celebrations.


    "Why are you two shirtless?" asked Qie Ranzhe while the servants scurried away in fright.


    ''This again,'' thought Wen Qinxi but he didn''t dare say it aloud.


    Qie Xieling, on the other hand, didn''t hesitate to speak. "They are wet so we had to take them off. Daddy look, I won a trophy," said Qie Xieling showing off his well-deserved trophy.


    Qie Ranzhe wanted to scold them further but faced with Su Xin''s dewy snow-white skin and that mermaid line, his words of rebuke got stuck in his throat. His eyes darkened averting his gaze as he said, "Go put on some clothes otherwise I will confiscate that trophy."


    As soon as he said those words, he left inrge strides vexing the two culprits. Kai Zi followed behind not forgetting to berate him in such a low voice that only Wen Qinxi could hear. "Slut," he murmured before disappearing in the blink of an eye.


    Wen Qinxi scoffed choosing to ignore insignificant things but just as he took two steps, Kai Zheng blocked his path and said, "Interesting," with a seductive smile. One can only imagine the lewd thoughts on his mind.


    "You must have a fuckin death wish, pervert," whispered Wen Qinxi unwilling to have Qie Xieling hear him use vulgar words.


    Wen Qinxi didn''t want to bother with a stupid cannon fodder NPC so he led Qie Xieling to his room and the two took a rxing bath. After bathing the two chose to have dinner in Su Xin''s room otherwise, Wen Qinxi might actually strangle someone.


    Right after getting ready for bed, Qie Xieling realised he left his watch outside. He was about to run outside in the dead of night to look for it when Su Xin stopped him.


    "Wait for me here and I will go get it for you," said Wen Qinxi before exiting the room. He didn''t want a thirteen-year-old walking around at night in the dark garden looking for a watch so he chose to go instead.


    As soon as he reached the kitchen, he found Machu standing by the open fridge chowing on yesterday''s leftovers that he cooked.


    Machu, "..."


    Wen Qinxi "....."


    Machu put down his chopsticks and said, "Don''t me me. You didn''t cook today and I had cravings."


    Wen Qinxi didn''t bother to stay any longer leaving the man to his indulgence but Machu put down the bento and followed him outside. "Where are you going?" he asked walking beside him through the garden.


    "Machu, have you ever heard of a saying curiosity killed the cat?" asked Wen Qinxi using Qie Xieling''s phone to light up the ground.


    "Yeah, I have but that''s because that cat wasn''t clever enough," replied Machu before noticing a dim LED lighting from a nearby shrub. "Are you looking for this?" said Machu picking up the watch but just as he was about to hand it over he saw something he shouldn''t have.


    That is to say during the day Qie Ranzhe can see outside the garden but at night it''s whoever is in the garden that can see Qie Ranzhe''s office and what he saw was surely going to upset someone. "Oh shit!" swore Machu without thinking attracting Wen Qinxi''s attention.


    Because Wen Qinxi had his back facing the house he hadn''t had the privilege to see the film ying behind him. "What?" asked Wen Qinxi trying to grab the watch out of Machu''s hands.


    Thinking that if Su Xin sees this his boss would get into trouble, Machu tried to remedy the situation bying up with a way to distract him.


    "Xin-er, how about you help find my... um, my pen that I lost in the maze in the afternoon. It''s, it''s very important. Since I helped you find the watch then you can... um help me find the um, um," said Machu snapping his fingers trying to recall what he said he needed help with.


    "Pen," said Wen Qinxi looking at Machu suspiciously. Something was definitely off and it had something to do with whatever was behind him but judging from Machu''s attitude, he wouldn''t let him turn around.


    "Yes pen," now let''s go but as soon as he turned to lead the way, all hell broke loose because Su Xin decided to turn around. Wen Qinxi''s heart sank at the bottom of the Mariana trench when he saw Qie Ranzhe and that white lotus kissing. This marked the evolution of the nerd as he grabbed a rock and flung it at full strength straight into Qie Ranzhe''s office window.


    Qie Ranzhe who had just been taken advantage of by Kai Zi was about to push the man away when a loud crashing sound startled the two of them. The expensive window shattered into a million pieces in an instant with the culprit looking up at them with a deadly stare.


    The two husbands locked gazes for a second but Wen Qinxi couldn''t look anymore. His heart was as broken as that window but what was he to say? What right did he have to say anything? Angered to death, Wen Qinxi walked away without uttering a single word. His actions spoke volumes and Qie Ranzhe got the message loud and clear.


    "Boss, really?" said Machu looking up at Qie Ranzhe in astonishment. He was about to say more when he heard a smashing sounding from the kitchen. "Oh shit, I got to go," said Machu darting towards the kitchen. He had to stop Su Xin before he does something out of anger. He didn''t want to be a light bulb but it seemed he couldn''t get away from this situation whether he liked it or not.

 Chapter 320: Fourth World: Cold War

    Chapter 320: Fourth World: Cold War


    It had been an entire week already since Qie Ranzhe got caught with his pants down but he hadn''t even got the chance to exin himself to Su Xin. He didn''t know why he cared so much about this but one thing was for sure. With each passing second that he was misunderstood by Su Xin, he felt like he was losing a part of himself. Su Xin had treated him like air this entire week.


    Qie Ranzhe slumped into a garden chaise dressed in a pair of shorts and a half-buttoned shirt. With one leg outstretched on the chaise and the other bent, Qie Ranzhe exuded a picturesque atmosphere straight out of the world''s sexiest men magazine.


    The maid brought over an ice-cold beer and she was about to pour it into a ss when Qie Ranzhe refused taking the bottle directly. During this exchange, Qie Ranzhe didn''t take his eyes from the maze right opposite him. He normally didn''t do such things as sitting idly on the patio for no reason but today it was different.


    He actually chose to sit there just to watch Su Xin who was ying with Qie Xieling and the patio happened to provide the best view. To prevent any suspicions, he wore a pair of sunsses giving off the illusion that he was sleeping under the shade but his piercing gaze was fixated on Su Xin.


    One could argue that Qie Ranzhe had caught Su Xin in plenty ofpromising positions in the past and that Su Xin had no right to be this upset but Qie Ranzhe didn''t see it that way.


    Su Xin had already expressed his intentions clearly and Qie Ranzhe had already decided to keep this man beside him. It was for that reason that hiswyer redrafted a spousal contract. There might not be feelings of love between them but that spousal agreement would mean there shouldn''t be third parties in this rtionship.


    Once he decided on this there was nothing that would change his mind which meant he dropped his vignce. He never had to guard against Kai Zi because they had already discussed it more than a decade ago that they should remain friends. Throughout the years, Kai Zi seemed to have epted it with their friendship returning to its former glory but it turns out Kai Zi was just a great actor like his brother.


    That night, Qie Ranzhe was blindsided by Kai Zi. He had just received an email with a finalised draft of the contract and printed it out to review the details when Kai Zi noticed. Who knew what was going on in Kai Zi''s mind at that moment but his face turned a sickly pale with a slight tremble all over his body.


    Concerned, Qie Ranzhe asked, "Are you okay?"


    That question was the spark that ignited the repressed mes for the past decade because Kai Zi lost his shit right then and there. "What, what..... what the fuck is that? Ran-ge, hasn''t this gigolo yed you enough?" was Kai Zi''s words back then.


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t get angry. He understood Kai Zi was just caring for him but who would have thought Kai Zi would take it a step further purposefully infuriating him.


    Sentences like, "Ran-ge, if you like being abused this much then why not join a BDSM club," and, "Ran-ge, you must be fuckin stupid to fall for this vixen''s schemes," were spat out by the usually gentle Kai Zi.


    That quiet well mannered Kai Zi he grew up with seemed like an illusion. Qie Ranzhe was angered by his words but he could still hold back. At that time he stood up to leave otherwise he might end up in a physical fight with Kai Zi. Yes, he must have been crazy keeping such an untrustworthy person beside him but he couldn''t help it.


    His desire to conquer Su Xin had only multiplied to the point that it became unbearable. He felt like if he didn''t get Su Xin he wouldpletely lose his mind. He felt like his heart was ckening little by little and Su Xin was the cure. If he didn''t attain him, he was afraid his mental capacity would crack.


    Since Su Xin was willing, what was there to worry about? He honestly thought he would eventually get over Su Xin after eating his fill for a couple of years which is why he put this contract forward. But he couldn''t say all this to Kai Zi besides, he wasn''t obligated to exin himself to anyone.


    With that in mind, he turned to leave but who would have expected the gentle Kai Zi would resurface again with a hint ofsciviousness. "Ran-ge, how about you give me a try. If, if it doesn''t work then you can bind Su Xin... Please, please give me one more chance. I promise I am as good as he is," were the words of plea uttered by Kai Zi with bloodshot eyes.


    Taken aback, Qie Ranzhe didn''t let him carry on reprimanding him on the spot. "Zi, didn''t we have this discussion before? At the time what did you say?" asked Qie Ranzhe in a stern voice.


    Kai Zi looked lost ncing around as though trying to recall the exact words. His expression turned wan recalling that discussion but he would never admit it so he stammered, "I don''t, I don''t remember. Ran-ge yo-,"


    "Answer me!" yelled Qie Ranzhe dangerously approaching the point of no return.


    Kai Zi flinched as though frightened with a tear streaming down his cheek. "I agreed to remain friends but Ran-ge, I only agreed because I was afraid to lose you. I, I had n-,"


    "I asked you if you couldn''t do it then let me know so I can give you enough space to get over me but what did you say?.... You said it was just sex nothing else and that you didn''t care only to bring back this shit a decadeter," said Qie Ranzhe with his fist mming the table, "You lied to me yet you are acting like I bullied you and led you on for so many years."


    Kai Zi was at a loss on what to say. At that time he had taken advantage of Qie Ranzhe''s drunken stupor and seduced him. Even then Qie Ranzhe tried pushing him away calling him Su Xin but the drunk Qie Ranzhe was no match for the sober Kai Zi. He easily subdued him and answered him as Su Xin. Being provoked like this by a person iming to be Su Xin, Qie Ranzhe stopped fighting. That night Kai Zi experienced inexplicable bliss riding on Su Xin''s coattails.


    He had the delusion that Qie Ranzhe would ept him and take responsibility the following morning but who would have expected to be drenched with a bucket of ice-cold water once he woke up.


    Half-awake Qie Ranzhe had wrapped his arm around his waist and pulled him closer till their naked bodies were stered together. He felt indescribable happiness but Qie Ranzhe kissed his ear whispering, "Xin-er, you came back to me? Promise me you won''t leave me alone anymore."

 Chapter 321: Fourth World: Is That An Invitation?

    Chapter 321: Fourth World: Is That An Invitation?


    One can only imagine Qie Ranzhe''s reaction when he saw the face of the person in his arms. He had been deceived but because his memory was fragmented he didn''t cut ties with Kai Zi. He presented an ultimatum which Kai Zi agreed too but it seemed that was another deception.


    "I don''t want to see your face by the time I wake up tomorrow morning," he said ready to cut ties with Kai Zi but the man wouldn''t give up that easily.


    In a sh, Kai Zi pressed their lips together forcefully with his tongue licking Qie Ranzhe''s lips begging to be let in. Just as Qie Ranzhe was about to push Kai Zi away, an unexpected sound of ss shattering grasped their attention.


    His first instinct was to draw his weapon assuming they were under attack but when he looked down he saw Su Xin staring at him like he was a dead man. Su Xin had seen everything. Well, part of it making the man misunderstand. When their eyes met, his heart was filled withplicated emotions. He was upset that Su Xin had witnessed the entire thing but he was happy that Su Xin was eating vinegar for him.


    The man smashed a window for him. If it weren''t that he had been misunderstood, he would have been dancing the jerusalema dance challenge right now. He sent Kai Zi and Kai Zheng packing the very next day but Su Xin was avoiding him and when he tried to talk to him the man would treat him like air. He wanted to wave the white g and discuss a peace treaty but he was ruthlessly shut out by this walking iceberg.


    The two people he had been silently watching returned to the house and when they passed by the patio they found Qie Ranzhe sitting there leisurely as though sleeping. Qie Xieling had naturally noticed the cold war between his dads and tried several times to mediate but his efforts were futile.


    His favourite question this past week was, "Su Xin, are you angry with my daddy?" He had repeated this question like a broken record but Su Xin''s response had been the same. "No," he would reply but he would ignore Qie Ranzhe the very next moment.


    Qie Xieling again repeated the question after poking his daddy''s face a couple of times. Certain that his daddy was sleeping he asked, "Are you still mad at him?"


    Wen Qinxi''s lip twitched one side while fixing his slippers. Of course, he was still as mad as hell. A month was barely enough to cool his jets what more a week. When he was five years old he once ignored his mother for an entire month for taking away his transformer. Yes, it was a bit excessive but that was a limited edition megatron damnit. His anger only got alleviated after his mum went to buy a new bumblebee to swap out the megatron she had sent to the orphanage.


    Two decadester, his favourite person was defiled in front of him so how could he easily quench his anger? Unless maybe if he burns that lustful mouth that dared put its lips on other people''s things. ''Forget it. Too cruel,'' he thought as the maid came over with some lemonade for Qie Xieling and an icy frappino for himself.


    "No," he responded before taking a sip of heaven''s divine gift, "Lin Lin, you sound like a broken record."


    Qie Xieling sat next to his dad and he was about to respond when Qie Ranzhe turned his head startling the both of them. He lifted his sunsses and said, "So why are you ignoring me then?" his gaze locked on Su Xin.


    Making sure Qie Xieling wasn''t looking Wen Qinxi lifted his middle finger at Qie Ranzhe before standing up to leave.


    Qie Ranzhe who had just been insulted, smiled instead and said, "dly! Is that an invitation?" in a voice loud enough for Su Xin to hear despite having left the patio.


    Watching his dad vanish leaving him behind, Qie Xieling turned to face his daddy and rebuked him, "You should be nice to him otherwise he will run away again. You better fix this," said Qie Xieling before running after Su Xin.


    Just as the two figures disappeared, Machu felt it safe to approach. He wanted to hand over the itinerary for tomorrow''s trip back to s city and almost walked straight into the hurricane. He handed the tablet over and sat down with his feet outstretched and his arms loosely hanging at the back of the patio couch.


    After a moment of silence with Qie Ranzhe seriously going through the information, he said, "Ran-ge, how about I give my love guru a call? He can help solve your love matter."


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t bother raising his head as he responded, "No need... my love life doesn''t need rescuing."


    Machu found this hrious recalling how Su Xin lifted a middle finger at Qie Ranzhe with absolutely no fear of losing his finger. If it was anyone else they would have had the finger chopped off and fed to them but Su Xin was an exception. Such is the symptom of a man in love.


    "I promise, this guru is good. He will rescue this sinking ship in a matter of minutes," said Machu but the piercing gaze sent his way made him think through his next words carefully. "Okay, okay no need for violence. Just remember make love not war," he said standing up to leave before the docile volcano decides to erupt out of the blue.


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t know what to do but he would never admit it. He thought of buying the man a thousand roses but judging from Su Xin''s attitude he might get those roses stuffed where the sun doesn''t shine. He even thought of cooking and present it as a candlelight dinner with Kai Zi tied up with a red bow for Su Xin to do with him as he pleased but he let go of that idea. Su Xin might end up ughtering Kai Zi like a pig.


    The only feasible n he coulde up with is to tie up Su Xin and make him listen but he couldn''t do it here, in front of his son. He decided to do this as soon as they arrived in s city. As for Qie Xieling, he would call his mother to pick up the kid at the airport. With Qie Xieling out of the picture, he was free to do as he wished with Su Xin and convince him that he desired no one else but him.


    With that in mind, this boss excitedly slid his sunsses down covering his eyes once more before entering the house. He was heading to his study to make a call to his mother. By tomorrow night, he would have Su Xin all to himself.

 Chapter 322: Fourth World: Lovers Spat

    Chapter 322: Fourth World: Lover''s Spat


    As a golden-red light painted the sky chasing the darkness away, the isted Vi was bustling with people packing up. Summer vacation was approaching its end and it was about time they returned home. Wen Qinxi woke Qie Xieling up as early as 4 am and helped him get ready which was a struggle on its own. This young master just wouldn''t wake up properly so Wen Qinxi was forced to dress the half-asleep Qie Xieling.


    After getting the kid ready and packing their bags, Wen Qinxi took him downstairs with a bodyguard carrying their suitcases. Once he stepped outside, the chief of security pointed at an SUV in the middle of the convoy. He immediately understood his meaning and helped Qie Xieling sit in the back seat. As soon as he ced the kid in the seat, Qie Xieling closed his eyes with his body leaning to the side falling back to sleep.


    Because of this Wen Qinxi had a hard time clipping in the seat belt. He tried three times to no avail. Just as he was getting flustered, he felt a hand slide on his waist as a familiar scent assaulted his senses making his cheeks tingle. His entire body stiffened as his brain''s rm bells rang in his mind. He wanted to push the man away but it proved to be difficult.


    A surge of intoxicating energy spread from the point of contact immobilising him where he stood. This is that one person who could make him feel this way. No matter how pissed off he was all it took was one touch to draw him into Qie Ranzhe''s arms.


    "I will do it," said a maic voice that sent tingles down Wen Qinxi''s spine. Qie Ranzhe pressed down his palm on Su Xin''s waist his thoughts heading in a dangerous direction. He found himself leaning down with his target in sight. He wanted to kiss the back of Su Xin''s neck and sniff his scent but unfortunately for him, Su Xin moved to the side giving way.


    Qie Ranzhe licked his lower lip as the warmth in his palm dissipated in a sh. Su Xin had moved and still had his back at him so Qie Ranzhe couldn''t see his face. It seemed Su Xin was still angry with him.


    Sighing in disappointment, Qie Ranzhe fixed Qie Xieling''s seat belt and closed the door. Instead of leaving, he walked over to Su Xin and took out a handgun calling out, "Xin-er," in a soft tone with an ambiguous air to it. He wanted to give him the gun for protection just in case they were met with trouble along the way.


    Wen Qinxi who had just sessfully calmed himself down began to panic once more with his body gradually heating up. ''Fuck! Why did he have to call my name like that?'' thought Wen Qinxi trying to act as normal as possible.


    "What?" replied Wen Qinxi turning around to face Qie Ranzhe with his thumb on his lips to calm his nerves.


    Sensing Su Xin''s uneasiness, Qie Ranzhe smiled and asked, "Is everything okay?" his tone as yful as a teenager teasing his school crush.


    Wen Qinxi couldn''t help ring at him with a dash of impatience. ''What kind of stupid question is that? Of course, I am not fuckin fine you idiot,'' thought Wen Qinxi but his mouth was saying the opposite. "Great.... everything is just great," he said with a stiff smile that even Machu could interpret from afar. That smile seemed to say, ''No, everything is not fuckin fine,'' but of course, his boss wouldn''t understand.


    Qie Ranzhe lowered his head with a sweet smile on his face while checking the handgun. Certain everything was fine he handed it over to Su Xin. This had Machu screaming internally thinking, ''Boss do you really want to give your pissed off wife a gun. Isn''t that suicide?''


    As expected Su Xin checked the magazine of the handgun and aimed it at Qie Ranzhe''s chest. The bodyguards wanted to intervene but Qie Ranzhe raised his hand gesturing for them to stay out of it. The chief of security was really worried so he asked Machu who was standing right next to him, "Why does the boss not want us to take down Su Xin? I mean... he could get himself shot."


    Machu crossed his arms across his chest, leaned back and replied, "Lover''s spat. You don''t want to get yourself entangled in that mess."


    Wen Qinxi was not going to pull the trigger but couldn''t help it. He was still so angry with Qie Ranzhe. Each time he recalled that scene his heart ached like it was getting tone to pieces.


    He had to make himself clear otherwise Qie Ranzhe would pull this stunt again. "I won''t be lenient if you dare fuck with me again," he said before putting down the firearm.


    Satisfied, Wen Qinxi sat in the driver''s seat and put on his seat belt before looking back at Qie Xieling''s sleeping face.


    Once it was safe to approach, Machu walked over and asked, "Boss, why were you certain he wouldn''t pull the trigger? I mean those eyes spelt murder."


    Qie Ranzhe bit his lower lip with a tender smile that had Machu agape. If this isn''t love then his name isn''t Machu. "He had the safety on..... besides he loves me and wouldn''t dare kill me."


    Machu couldn''t understand how that entire scenario spelt love but he wasn''t one to burst Qie Ranzhe''s bubbles.


    "Uh, if you say so... Oh, by the way, if a woman says everything is fine ny per cent of the time it''s definitely not fine. Just a friendly tip. I had to throw it out there," said Machu feeling pretty good about himself but Qie Ranzhe brought him back to earth.


    "But Su Xin is not a woman?" replied Qie Ranzhe walking over to the car in front.


    Machu who had just been caught off guard embarrassedly scratched his head before correcting himself, "Maybe the theory applies to all wives."


    Qie Ranzhe chuckled lightly as he entered the back seat. No one could understand how he was feeling right now. Su Xin always behaved with indifference when it came to him. But this time around things were different. He even pulled a gun on him as a warning. How can this crime boss not be happy? One sentence. They are both crazy.


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t want Su Xin to drive but based on his expression just now, he wasn''t in a great mood. With that in mind, Qie Ranzhe chose to say nothing and didn''t join him lest he aggravates the man further.

 Chapter 323: Fourth World: Snatching Snacks In A Private Jet

    Chapter 323: Fourth World: Snatching Snacks In A Private Jet


    The convoy drove out of thepound with the sun peeking out of the horizon. In under thirty minutes, they reached the aerodrome with a private jet on stand by.


    It was only an hour after take-off did Qie Xieling finally wake up. He was sitting next to Su Xin but his daddy was nowhere in sight. Qie Xieling rubbed his sluggish eyes and peeked above the seat only to find his daddy sitting further away with his burning gaze in Su Xin''s direction.


    He smiled at his daddy before sitting properly asking, "How long was I asleep?"


    Wen Qinxi whose ears had turned red from being stared at like that pulled Qie Xieling into his embrace and said, "Why does that matter?" while kissing the top of Qie Xieling''s head, "Are you hungry?"


    "En," replied Qie Xieling. He wanted to ask why his daddy was sitting at the back when they had plenty of space but he didn''t want to put a damper on Su Xin''s great mood. The two ate breakfast together chatting it up making Qie Ranzhe feel left out.


    It''s not like he didn''t try sitting next to Su Xin but the vicious re that was sent his way had him unconsciously moving further down the aisle. Machu couldn''t help but feel sorry for his boss so he sat next to him. He tried to distract Qie Ranzhe but his boss gave one-word answers his gaze locked on Su Xin like an obsessed stalker. When Su Xin moved the man''s boring gaze would follow him. When he couldn''t see him, he would stand up and follow. The one time Su Xin stood up to go to the bathroom, Qie Ranzhe almost followed. If it weren''t for Machu this crime boss might have finally received a membership to the mile-high club. As if, Su Xin would have most definitely punched Qie Ranzhe if he dared.


    Two hours in flight, it seemed the boss was behaving a little normal now. He wasn''t staring at Su Xin that much but things took a different turn when everyone even Machu received snack packets from Su Xin except Qie Ranzhe. People either got dried meat or dried fruit with Qie Xieling hogging three packets each.


    Qie Xieling noticed his daddy didn''t get one so he asked Su Xin, "Where is daddy''s snack packet?" while eyeing his daddy who had just refused Machu''s offer.


    Wen Qinxi didn''t turn his head to look at Qie Ranzhe''s reaction. Instead, he reclined his seat and answered seriously, "He''s not hungry." He couldn''t physically hurt Qie Ranzhe but could only pull such tricks.


    It was surprisingly quite effective because Qie Ranzhe was clenching the seat''s armrest displeased. Qie Xieling, he could understand but why did the rest get snacks except him. Granted, the snacks were just regr name brand but they were from Su Xin. He also wanted one. Feeling heavy easterly windsing from Qie Ranzhe, Machu could no longer bear the pressure. He quietly moved away lest this tornado swept him away. Qie Ranzhe was so depressed that he didn''t notice Machu''s cautious actions.


    One would think he would get over it soon but in Qie Ranzhe''s mind, this wasn''t over. Waiting for the two people to fall asleep, Qie Ranzhe stood up and in cautious steps, he approached the two individuals who were sleeping peacefully.


    With his hands in his pocket, he hesitated for a moment towering over Su Xin. He slowly took out one hand from his trousers pocket and caressed Su Xin''s sleeping face his eyes brimming with doting affection. The back of his hand felt a pleasant sensation as his skin brushed against Su Xin''s. For a moment, it seemed Qie Ranzhe had forgotten why he was here in the first ce.


    This drama unfolded right in front of Machu and two other bodyguards. The two men pretended not to see anything but Machu was crossing his fingers that Su Xin doesn''t wake up and catch his boss in the act.


    Qie Ranzhe seemed to be stuck in his own bubble unaware of the onlookers. It was after a hostess opened the curtain that he remembered what he was here for. He ced his index finger on his lips and gestured for her to keep silent. The air hostess was obviously confused but didn''t dare make a sound retracing her steps. Qie Ranzhe moved over to Qie Xieling''s seat and carefully grabbed one packet of the dried meat as well as one packet of dried fruit before fixing the boy''s nket.


    Just like that, Qie Xieling was robbed in his sleep. He only realised he was missing two packets of snacks when they arrived at the airport. Wen Qinxi felt the little hand part from his and looked down only to find Qie Xieling frantically searching his satchel.


    "What are you looking for?" asked Wen Qinxi as they stood at the bottom of the airstair.


    "I am missing two packets of snacks," said Qie Xieling seeming upset. As soon as the others heard this, they scattered in all directions with Machu staring at the culprit who was putting on his sunsses. His heartless boss robbed his own kid''s snacks but wouldn''t say anything.


    "Don''t worry about it. I will buy you more," said Wen Qinxi trying tofort the poor kid. Just as he was closing the zipper on Qie Xieling''s satchel, a crimson SUV approached the airport apron with its aggressive engine sound suffusing the atmosphere.


    Wen Qinxi''s hair stood on end as the vehicle parked right next to him. He had no idea who it was but he could tell nothing good was going toe out of this. The first thing he saw when the chauffeur opened the door was six-inch pink heels followed by slender legs that could only belong to a model. His heart leapt up to his chest in fright seeing thedy dressed in white pull down her sunsses.


    When their eyes met, Wen Qinxi felt like running back into the private jet and fly away. He couldn''t fly a ne but he would do anything to get away from that woman. Unconsciously he took a step back holding Qie Xieling''s hand for support.


    The gorgeous woman was none other than Madam Qie the scariest woman alive in this world and she had major beef with Su Xin. She didn''t even look at her son heading straight for Su Xin.


    Pa!


    A loud pping sound echoed in the air as a pnded on Su Xin''s face. Qie Ranzhe wanted to stop his mother but he knew if stopped her she will do even worse things to Su Xin.


    Wen Qinxi felt his cheek heat up as a throbbing pain spread to his eye and temple. She pped him once more before taking Qie Xieling''s hand and dragged him away. By the time Qie Xieling snapped out of his shock, he had already been led to the car by his grandmother''s assistant.


    While Wen Qinxi was rubbing his sore cheek that had scratch marks from the viper''s nails, Madam Qie stopped in front of her son and said, "You better know what you are doing."


    With that said she strode over to her car with an arrogant aura that made the atmosphere thick and heavy. How unlucky is this nerd with inws?

 Chapter 324: Fourth World: Abusing Single Dogs

    Chapter 324: Fourth World: Abusing Single Dogs


    For the entire drive to Qie Ranzhe''s apartment, Wen Qinxi was silently cing an ice pack on his slightly swollen cheek. He could understand why this woman would attack him bute on! How many crimes of the former Su Xin was he going to be punished for? He loves Qie Ranzhe but this man is too high maintenance. This thought crossed his mind while ring at the culprit with his reddened eyes.


    He was curious to know what goes on in that CEO''s noggin in the real world for him to conjure up such crappy worlds. Qie Ranzhe sensed Su Xin''s gaze boring into his skin and stopped searching the first aid kit for an anti-inmmatory cream. He had apologised ceaselessly for his mother''s actions but Su Xin ignored him.


    A few minutes ago the man wasn''t even looking at him staring outside the window with an ice pack pressed on his cheek. Now Su Xin was willing to look at him. Even if it was a re Qie Ranzhe counted it as progress so he leaned in closer and said, "Let me see," with an intense gaze that Wen Qinxi was ever so familiar with.


    If they weren''t in public, he would have been eaten clean by now. His brain instantly went into the gutter recalling their hot yoga sessions in the past worlds. The tips of his ears reddenedpletely unaware of how lustful his appearance was at this moment.


    Qie Ranzhe noticed a fiery heat brewing in his lower half. He slowly ced his hand on top of Su Xin''s hand that was holding up the ice pack before slowly pulling it away to check Su Xin''s cheek.


    The moment their skin touched something snapped in Qie Ranzhe. He seemed to have lost his mind as an intoxicating rush of endorphins flooded his system. He found himself unconsciously leaning forward. He wanted to kiss that slightly reddened skin that looked lustrous to the touch.


    The two of them were involuntarily enchanted by their own actions causing them to ignore their surroundings. Machu had been sitting in the passager seat this entire time which meant he was forced to watch these two act out a romantic scene from a blockbuster movie. Fearing the two would rip their clothes off each other at any second, Machu urged the driver to step on it otherwise they would both be blinded by these two.


    The driver didn''t want to be blinded either so he stepped on it. Machu tapped a message on his phone which was sent to the entire security team.


    MachoMachu: Light it up.


    MachoMachu: The boss is abusing us single dogs.


    Once this message was sent out the cars in front lit up the red and blue lights on top of their windscreens as the motorcade spread in all four directions clearing away traffic like a presidential motorcade.


    Just when Qie Ranzhe was about to touch down on Su Xin''s cheek, the car suddenly stopped interrupting him.


    "Ran-ge, we are here," said Machu before getting out of the car in a hurry like his life depends on it. The driver also followed suit unwilling to be force-fed dog food.


    Machu''s words brought Wen Qinxi out of his trance. Wasn''t he pissed off with this CEO who was making things hard for him? So how did he end up cornered in the back seat holding hands? Wen Qinxi lightly shoved Qie Ranzhe away and fumbled with his seat belt wanting to escape this borate trap. But because he was trembling like a littlemb trying to escape the wolf''s den, he couldn''t unclip that seat belt no matter what. The longer it took the more flustered he was.


    With a slight smile on his face, Qie Ranzhe reached over with his entire upper body almost pressing against Su Xin. They were close enough to hear each other''s heartbeats creating an inexplicable sexual tension with Qie Ranzhe''s gaze locked on Su Xin''s cherry plump lips.


    He unclipped the seat belt his actions slow and deliberate. His intentions were immediately clear. After releasing Su Xin from the shackles of the seat belt he nned on pressing him down but Wen Qinxi wasn''t having it.


    For the second time, he pushed away Qie Ranzhe and opened the door running away like an agitated little hedgehog with its spikes standing on end.


    Seeing Su Xin get out of the car, Machu heaved a sigh of relief and led him out of the underground parking. He was worried that if these two decided to go at it in the car, he would have to find earplugs and blindfolds for the bodyguards at short notice.


    He''s good at his job just not that good. He kind of regretted not taking magic sses back then as it might have proved useful now. He vowed to call his magician friend after this and learn a few tricks. With a boss like Qie Ranzhe who knows when he needs to perform a magic trick.


    Machu walked to the elevator and swiped the card resulting in the elevator door sliding open. He gestured to the food god to enter followed by Qie Ranzhe who had been treading on Su Xin''s heels. Just as the elevator door was about to close, Machu still hadn''t entered so Wen Qinxi asked, "You are noting up?"


    Machu shook his head with a sly grin saying, "I have magic ss..... Don''t overdo it," as the doors closed shut.


    Looking at the 25th number disyed on the LED screen, Wen Qinxi couldn''t help but swallow hard. Judging from the way Qie Ranzhe was peering at him right now, this day would most likely end in a happy ending.


    He couldn''t let things unfold ording to Qie Ranzhe''s pace so he repressed his emotions and tried to divert Qie Ranzhe''s attention. "When will you get Lin Lin back?" asked Wen Qinxi looking straight ahead.


    Qie Ranzhe leaned against the elevator wall watching Su Xin with amorous eyes. "What? Are you afraid to be alone with me?" but there was no response from Su Xin so he continued, "Afraid I will eat you?"


    Wen Qinxi simply refused to be baited so he kept his mouth shut.As soon as the elevator door opened he head for the only door on the entire floor. Qie Ranzhe followed with a sly grin stered on his face. His baby was indeed too cute.


    Wen Qinxi wasn''t even sure if his fingerprint would work on the door but he tried anyway. He was extremely nervous especially with Qie Ranzhe glued to him from behind. His n was simple. It was to create as much distance as possible when he gets into the apartment by making an excuse like going to the bathroom. If the system was here it would have said, "Stop fighting it already."


    It was his delusion that he could still get away. As soon as the door opened, Wen Qinxi increased his pace but Qie Ranzhe caught up in two strides and grabbed Su Xin''s elbow pulling him back before pressing him against the door. "Where are you going?" asked Qie Ranzhe staring at Su Xin''s face with a thread of infatuation in his dark eyes.

    Pinned against the door, Wen Qinxi''s heartbeat quickened as waves of immense heat burnt his rationality to ash. "Ba, bathroom... that''s where," paused Wen Qinxi with his eyes fixed on those divine lips that were hard to resist, "Ah, fuck it!"


    Wen Qinxipletely let go of himself and tasted those sweet lips he had been yearning for ever since he left the third world.


    He was the least bit polite prying Qie Ranzhe''s lips open with his moist tongue exploring his man''s lips with no reservations. His tongue fluttered on Qie Ranzhe''s with his fingers running through the man''s lush hair.


    Qie Ranzhe hadn''t anticipated Su Xin would be this enthusiastic. He was greatly aroused by this man''s provocation with his hands caressing either side of Su Xin''s waist. Like finely aged wine, Su Xin was more intoxicating than the first time.


    This is when Qie Ranzhe realised he was wrong. He thought he would get over this man after entangling with him once or twice but a simple kiss had him spinning out of control.


    Yearning for more, Qie Ranzhe deepened the kiss with their tongues entwined in a lustful dance that sent waves of pleasure all over their bodies.


    Qie Ranzhe sucked on Su Xin''s tongue causing the man in his arms to quiver. Wen Qinxi who had just been stimted to the point of not recalling his own name let out slutty groans as his knees softened.


    That lewd sound piqued Qie Ranzhe''s interest with his unruly hands travelling down south groping Su Xin''s perky butt. He suddenly wanted to hear more of these slutty groans escape Su Xin''s lips so he drew the man closer with his erection grinding against Su Xin''s abdomen.


    Realising how good it felt, he lifted Su Xin''s body and had his lover''s legs wrapped around his waist.


    His erection rubbed against the bulge protruding under Su Xin''s pants as he whispered, "ah.... shit. That feels fuckin good."


    Wen Qinxi felt a numbing sensation spread all over his body as he stretched out his neck giving Qie Ranzhe easy ess. The man carried him to the kitchen countertop with his moist tongue teasing the sensitive skin on Wen Qinxi''s neck.


    Under Qie Ranzhe''s constant provocation, Wen Qinxi ran his fingers at the back of Qie Ranzhe''s head drawing him closer. His lower half pressed against Qie Ranzhe''s abdomen grindingsciviously in search of that sweet spot. Rubbing against this man felt so good that Wen Qinxi couldn''t hold back the moan at the tip of his tongue.


    "Ah... ah.... ah..... fuck me daddy Ran.... oh shit!"


    Hearing those licentious words escape Su Xin''s lips, Qie Ranzhe felt even more intoxicated as he kissed him once more.


    This time Qie Ranzhe took a nibble of the man''s swollen lips living a conspicuous red tear. Wen Qinxi hissed in pain but the pleasure he took from it cancelled the debt.


    This was done on purpose by this vinegar jar marking his territory. He didn''t have a ring for Su Xin but still wanted the entire world to know who he belongs to. Su Xin called him daddy Ran and earned himself a lip hickey.


    Qie Ranzhe slowly parted their lips with his fingers kneading Su Xin''s lower back under the t-shirt. Their foreheads pressed together Qie Ranzhe caressed Su Xin''s swollen lip. He was the least apologetic peering at the small tear on Su Xin''s plump lips. With the both of them panting, Qie Ranzhe said, "I can fuck you but I need reassurances. Are you willing to give it to me?"


    Of course, Wen Qinxi would be willing. Hell, if this man was to ask him to rob a bank right now as reassurance, he would dly do it as long as he gets his fix. "Yes," replied Wen Qinxi in a husky voice that felt pleasant to hear.


    Satisfied, Qie Ranzhe helped Su Xin off the countertop and grabbed his wrist leading him up the stairs. Whatever it takes, he had to make this man his. He led Su Xin into his study and pulled him over to the desk where a brown envelope was lying neatly.


    Wen Qinxi''s brows slightly knitted wondering why his make-out session was cut short for a brown envelope. The brown envelope wasn''t of great importance but its contents. Qie Ranzhe finally let go of Su Xin''s wrist and opened the envelope before handing him a pile of papers stapled together.


    Curious, Wen Qinxi read the top page titled Spousal Agreement. Logic detects that he read its contents but this nerd didn''t feel the need so he strode over to the nearby couch. Su Xin''s reaction had Qie Ranzhe anxious. If Su Xin refuses to sign that agreement, he had no idea what he was going to do.


    His worries were valid because this contract was the only way to guarantee that Su Xin wouldn''t leave him neither would he cheat on him. Without this agreement, he had no absolute guarantee. Nervous, he ambled over carefully studying Su Xin''s expressions as he flipped over the pages.


    Wen Qinxi wasn''t actually reading it, he was just looking for a ce to sign and once he found it, he raised his head and asked, "Pen?" with an outstretched hand.


    Qie Ranzhe paused in his tracks disbelieving Su Xin''s words. He didn''t expect this kind of reaction and for a moment he was at a loss of what to do. The contract was fair on both parties with the same punishment applying to the both of them if there was a breach in contract but he didn''t think Su Xin would sign it without reviewing it properly.


    "Aren''t you going to carefully review it?" asked Qie Ranzhe walking back to his desk to grab a pen from the pen holder.


    "No... besides, if you screw me over I will send us both to meet our ancestors with no hesitation," replied Wen Qinxi cing the paper on the coffee table.


    A sly grin appeared on Qie Ranzhe''s face as he brought over the pen. He sat opposite Su Xin and ced the pen on the table. He then leaned back with his right leg crossed over the other watching Su Xin with pure fascination.


    He couldn''t help but think, ''It''s good being wanted this much.'' With his thumb rubbing against his lips, Qie Ranzhe couldn''t help but wonder if Su Xin would have signed it if it was a very contract?


    Wen Qinxi had no idea what his husband was thinking as he signed the contract with ease. He would do whatever it takes to reassure his man. With thest strokepleted, Wen Qinxi pushed the contract over to Qie Ranzhe.


    Qie Ranzhe checked Su Xin''s signature before signing his next to his lover''s. "Can I add one more term? We''ll both initial on the new term to make it valid."


    Wen Qinxi naturally had no problem with it so he nodded his head. "You aren''t going to ask what it is?" asked Qie Ranzhe writing something above the signatures.


    "No," replied Wen Qinxi ready to carry on with what they were doing before.


    Qie Ranzhe raised his head in amusement before handing the contract over. An additional use had been added and it was as follows:


    15.9 Party B is required to call Party A ''Daddy Ran'' at least twice when having sex.


    Wen Qinxi, "...."

 Chapter 326: Fourth World: NSFW

    Chapter 326: Fourth World: NSFW


    "Okay then are we done?" asked Wen Qinxi after putting his initials alongside the new use. Qie Ranzhe was still sitting on the opposite side while carefully studying the contract.


    "En," replied Qie Ranzhe with his gaze fixed on the contract, "I will get it notarized tomorrow and giv-." But he didn''t get to finish his statement because the contract was suddenly snatched out of his hand.


    He raised his head about to chastise Su Xin assuming the man had changed his mind and he was snatching the contract away in dissatisfaction. But it turns out it wasn''t what he was thinking.


    In a split second, the contract was tossed away randomly and Su Xin was sitting on hisp with the man''s legs on either side of Qie Ranzhe''s waist. In simple terms, Su Xin was straddling him out of the blue.


    "This...," said Qie Ranzhe but his lips were suddenly sealed by Su Xin''s re-igniting the passion that had been interrupted earlier. Su Xin''s lips were so soft making Qie Ranzhe feel the urge to nibble on them once more but recalling how his lover hissed in pain earlier on he held back. Instead, he chased after that frisky tongue that kept licking his lips.


    Wen Qinxi felt a sweet sensation spread from the tip of his tongue that he couldn''t hold back a groan escaping his throat. Qie Ranzhe seemed to have been instigated by this groan because he had his fingers running through Su Xin''s hair drawing him closer as though trying to insight that lewd sound once more.


    Wen Qinxi found himself drowning in a sea of lust as he rubbed his body against Qie Ranzhe''s crotch. His arms wrapped around Qie Ranzhe''s neck with his stiff member grinding against Qie Ranzhe''s abdomen. A cool breeze from the air conditioner was circting in the room but their bodies were heating up exponentially as sweet sounds of kissing echoed.


    Qie Ranzhe cupped Su Xin''s ass in his hands and drew the man closer with his warm tongue teasing Su Xin''s neck.


    The exhrating sensation of having his neck teased like that had Wen Qinxi begging for more. He tilted his head back slightly painting a concupiscent image that had Qie Ranzhe''s member stiffening to unbearable heights. Unable to resist the pinkish skin on Su Xin''s neck, Qie Ranzhe caressed it with bedroom eyes. Drawing the man closer he sucked on that supple skin making Su Xin quiver under his provocation.


    "Ah, ah, uh... Ran-ge," moaned Wen Qinxi in a smutty tone that piqued Qie Ranzhe''s interest.


    This crime boss found himself losing all restraint as his other hand crept up Su Xin''s back from under the t-shirt. Caressing the man''s soft skin felt so good that he brought a second hand under the t-shirt indulging in touching his lover he couldn''t attain for over a decade.


    Wen Qinxi couldn''t control himself as a warm and fuzzy feeling spread from where Qie Ranzhe was touching with his smooth hands. Unable to bear such teasing, he fondled the bulge protruding from under Qie Ranzhe''s pants. "Mn...," was the hoarse groan that came from Qie Ranzhe motivating Wen Qinxi to carry on. He didn''t dy any further unzipping this man''s pants with no reservations. In a matter of seconds, the scorching object was within his grasp making his lover groan in pleasure.


    Qie Ranzhe felt a sensational heatwave that could only be invoked by this person. This person''s touch was what he craved for all these years and now that he had had it, it felt ten times better than before. Maybe it was because he had only felt the touch of Su Xin once intensifying the feeling a dozen times. "Ah, baby...," whispered Qie Ranzhe with his warm breath brushing against Wen Qinxi''s ear.


    "What do you want to do to me?" he whispered once more this time staring straight into Su Xin''s dark lustful eyes.


    Wen Qinxi brushed their lips together before saying, "Shh, daddy Ran..... I will make you feel good in a minute," unzipping his own pants. Qie Ranzhe who had been silenced with a hot passionate kiss could only let Su Xin do whatever he wanted with his body.


    Wen Qinxi pulled up his t-shirt exposing a magnificent figure. Qie Ranzhe licked his lower lip wanting a taste but didn''t have an opportunity to tease those pink dots on his lover''s chest because Su Xin grasped both their manhood in one hand.


    The girth of both cocks in his hand was pretty good that Wen Qinxi couldn''t hold back a groan. He had learnt this from Qie Ranzhe in the first world and found it extremely enjoyable that he wanted to do it again.


    Qie Ranzhe knew exactly what Su Xin was doing but where he had learnt it was the problem. Su Xin had only had sexual contact with women throughout the years so how on earth would he know how to frott with a man? He was Su Xin''s first and should be Su Xin''s only so what was this situation?


    Unfortunately, for Qie Ranzhe he couldn''t carry on down this path because his mind turned chaotic as his naughty lover send him to seventh heaven in an instant. He couldn''t even let out a groan because Su Xin was kissing him so passionately making it hard for him to speak.


    The sounds of muffled groans and squelching sound from precum rubbing against flesh filled the room. Wen Qinxi rubbed their entire lengths skillfully. It felt so good having his boner against his lover''s, an unforgettable experience that sent waves of pleasure all over his body.


    Being straddled by Su Xin, Qie Ranzhe could see everything. There were only two words to describe this scene. Very Hot. Under Su Xin''s constant provocation, Qie Ranzhe couldn''t hold back anymore.


    Wen Qinxi parted their lips allowing the both of them to express their vocal pleasure. His breathing turned erratic as an intense orgiastic feeling mounted up in his lower half. He sped up a little under Qie Ranzhe''s urging with the slutty squelching sounds increasing tempo.


    "Oh.... oh, ah shit... ah," were the esthetic groansing from Qie Ranzhe urging the nerd to carry on but Wen Qinxi found himself reaching his peak whispering,


    "I am getting there... ah, ah," apanied by some obscene groans.


    The two of them convulsed almost simultaneously as a creamy substance shot out from their stiff members. Rendered powerless for a moment, Wen Qinxi leaned against Qie Ranzhe''s chest recovering. Qie Ranzhe embraced him not caring about the lewd juices staining his pants. He just wanted to embrace this man and never let him go. A sweet smile showed up on his face as he whispered, "Want to go again?"

 Chapter 327: Fouth World: Slight NSFW

    Chapter 327: Fouth World: Slight NSFW


    Wen Qinxi who had just overworked himself sat up straight and said, "Greedy," while wiping away the mess with his t-shirt. Qie Ranzhe kept ogling at him while gently caressing the man''s cheek. He wanted Su Xin to look at him but the man kept his head lowered while busying himself.


    "I am going to take a shower," said Wen Qinxi attempting to get off Qie Ranzhe''sp but he was held in ce by the dissatisfied crime boss.


    "Xin-er, don''t be like this," said Qie Ranzhe trying to coax his lover into giving up the goods. He passionately kissed Su Xin conveying his intentions but that didn''t stop Su Xin from getting up in the next second.


    "We have plenty of time," was the sentence Wen Qinxi threw out before he left the study. He was right, they had plenty of time but this wasn''t enough to convince Qie Ranzhe.


    Five minutester, Qie Ranzhe snuck into the bathroom where Su Xin was standing under the shower. Because of the sound of running water, Wen Qinxi didn''t hear hime in. He only found out when his waist was suddenly encircled by strong arms.


    "Baby, I want more," said Qie Ranzhe in an aggrieved tone that had Wen Qinxi''s heart melting. Burying his head in the crevice of Su Xin''s neck, he kissed the man with their bodies pressed together.


    One can only imagine how that ended. Qie Ranzhe resisted the urge to prate his lover so as not to scare Su Xin away. He resigned himself to other means driving his hot rod through the thigh gap between Su Xin''s legs while stroking his man''s stiff member under the shower.


    This was an experience for Wen Qinxi. He especially liked the versatility in lovemaking with Qie Ranzhe. By the time they were done ying, Wen Qinxi was pruny from standing under the water for so long.


    He feared being bashed by conservationists for wasting water but boy it was fuckin worth it. He left the bathroom first and sprawled on the bed in his bathrobe. Wen Qinxi closed his eyes making dinner ns. He was about to doze off when Qie Ranzhe climbed on top of him naked and started kissing his neck trying to start something.


    "What are you doing?" asked Wen Qinxi eyeing Qie Ranzhe whose head was lowered on his neck.


    "Nothing," replied Qie Ranzhe lying through his teeth.


    Wen Qinxi felt like he had woken up a beast from hibernation. Feeling helpless he said, "You say you are doing nothing yet you poking me with your thing." It turns out this man was already turned on and he was trying to rouse his lover''s interest once more.


    Qie Ranzhe raised his head and slowly unfastened Su Xin''s bathrobe. With the wless temptationing into full view, Qie Ranzhe lowered his head and brushed his lips against Su Xin''s chest.


    Enticed, Wen Qinxi let this man do as he pleased. It felt amazing being tease like this so Wen Qinxi had noints. Qie Ranzhe kissed, licked and sucked Su Xin''s skin as though eating some kind of delicacy.


    His lips moved up to the pink bead on Su Xin''s chest and teased it with his tongue making the man beneath him shudder in excitement.


    A sly smirk appeared on his face knowing that he had already won the battle. With Su Xin''s fingers running through the back of his head drawing him closer, Qie Ranzhe knew he had sessfully seduced his lover.


    He slowly caressed Su Xin''s body all the way down to the man''s stiff member but just as he reached his destination, his wrist was suddenly grasped. Confused he raised his head to look at Su Xin feeling wronged.


    "I will let you do whatever you want as long as you bring back Lin Lin tomorrow," said Wen Qinxi rubbing Qie Ranzhe''s hand with his thumb. Qie Ranzhe nodded his head in agreement.


    "Oh, and you deal with dinner. You worked me overtime.... too tired," said Wen Qinxi already feeling the ache in his thighs.


    Qie Ranzhe nodded his head with a radiant smile before carrying on. Wen Qinxi was tossed left, right and centre to Qie Ranzhe heart''s content. They were both men but Qie Ranzhe''s stamina was terrifying. He only regained his freedom after going about it two more times.


    He almost wished they had gone all the way to appease this rod stick that seemed unfamiliar with the word excessive. As soon as Qie Ranzhe left to get dinner, Wen Qinxi took the opportunity to doze off just in case dinner would work up this man''s appetite once more. He only woke up in the morning with Qie Ranzhe nowhere in sight.


    Feeling abandoned, Wen Qinxi sat up straight his body sluggish. He wanted to scold the man who worked him hardst night but vanished the very next morning.


    He grabbed the cellphone lying on the pedestal and swiped it open. It seemed Qie Ranzhe had given him back the phone that was confiscated after he was caught in bed with Zhao Hua. It was Su Xin''s phone but it was wiped off all contacts with only three numbers in it. It had Machu, Qie Xieling and Qie Ranzhe''s number that was intentionally saved as DaddyRan.


    Wen Qinxi who initially wanted to scold the jar of vinegar that even erased Su Xin''s friends'' contacts found himselfughing. He had to admit, this CEO was too cute. He noticed a notification on the top panel. Swiping down, he found out it was from Qie Ranzhe. Curious, he opened it.


    DaddyRan: I went to get Xieling.


    DaddyRan: There is breakfast in the microwave.


    A warm fuzzy feeling like fluffy clouds spread all over his body as the corner of his lips quirked up. It was moments like these that made this game worth it. Wen Qinxi went downstairs and warmed up his breakfastpletely unaware that his movements had activated the surveince sensors.


    Just as he was about to put the porcin spoon in his mouth, a ding sound from his phone grasped his attention.


    Outside the Qie Mansion, Qie Ranzhe had just received a notification from the motion sensor in his apartment. It seemed Su Xin was awake but he didn''t bother to reply to his message. Dissatisfied, he wrote a message.


    Q: You woke up ages ago but didn''t respond to my message?


    Leaning against the car door, Qie Ranzhe waited for a response vexing Old Lu who had just weed Master Qie back home. Qie Ranzhe waited for five seconds but the message was still unread yet the camera clearly showed that Su Xin saw the message.


    Q: You are viting use 3.4


    Wen Qinxi almost spat out his congee reading this message. "What the fuck?" he swore hurrying to reply but before he even opened the interface another message came through.


    Q: I will execute punishment when I get back.


    With that said Qie Ranzhe ced his phone in his pocket ignoring the subsequent messages sent by Su Xin. Grinning like a malicious ghost he followed Old Lu into the mansion.


    Baby Xi:?


    Baby Xi: You must be fuckin with me, right?


    Baby Xi: Are you mad at me?


    Baby Xi: QAQ


    Thus this nerd learnt to read through contracts especially when they''re from Qie Ranzhe. It''s just when ites to Qie Ranzhe his IQ goes down the drain making him do stupid things like this. Talk about the ck-bellied husband taking advantage of his naive wife.

 Chapter 328: Fourth World: Queen Bee or Drama Queen?

    Chapter 328: Fourth World: Queen Bee or Drama Queen?


    Qie Ranzhe ambled into the living room with a spring in his step. Not only did he get to eat his wife but also managed to trick him into signing a contract that will provide him with endless benefits in the future. Everything seemed to be working in his favour but as the saying goes when something good happens something bad follows.


    As soon as Qie Ranzhe walked into the room he saw Qie Xieling sitting on the couch writing on a piece of paper with a calligraphy brush. He was ever so familiar with this punishment as he was subjected to it over ten times in his childhood and twice as an adult. It''s just that he was naughty growing up so it made sense for him to be punished a dozen times but Qie Xieling was obedient and never caused trouble.


    This kid was so well behaved that the word punishment was foreign to him but now he was being asked to write ''I should respect my elders'' a thousand times. Though the kid loved school his expression right now was that of a tormentedmb at a petting zoo.


    "Morning mother," he said grasping the attention of the two people in the room. Qie Xieling perked up identally smudging the sheet of paper. He was thrilled to see his daddy and was hoping to find Su Xin following behind.


    Just as he stood up his grandmother smacked her folding fan on the coffee table making the boy sit back down quickly.


    "Mn," replied Madam Qie as her son walked over and kissed her cheek. Qie Ranzhe ruffled Qie Xieling''s hair and sat next to him asking,


    "What crime did hemit? Xieling is usually well behaved."


    Hearing this Madam Qie snorted coldly and replied, "Ask him what he did," but she didn''t give Qie Xieling the chance to confess, "He kicked up a fuss in the car yelling at me like I am his friend."


    She then turned to Qie Xieling whose hands were sore from all the writing, "Do you know what you did wrong?"


    Qie Xieling''s little hand tightly sped the brushed swallowing the words he wanted to say. He knew grandma''s character too well. A direct confrontation would never work on her. In other words, it can only end badly but yesterday he acted on impulse.


    He exploded in anger resulting in this unfortunate ending. If he continued being stubborn he might not be allowed to see Su Xin ever again. This woman looks like a pushover but she''s a tough nut to crack.


    For his own good, he nodded his head seeming sincere before carrying on with the punishment. The faster he finishes the earlier he gets to see Su Xin.


    Madam Qie seemed satisfied as she leaned back in her seat, legs crossed exuding an air of superiority. Qie Ranzhe took advantage of his mother''s rxed appearance to state the purpose of his visit.


    Actually, the word visit would be the wrong term because for the better part of the year he lived in the Qie Mansion but because he brought back Su Xin he decided to move to the apartment.


    "I came to get Xieling," said Qie Ranzhe his gaze fixed on his mother. He wasn''t certain how she would take it but he had promised Su Xin and if he still wanted to eat from the cookie jar he had toply.


    Madam Qie seemed to find it amusing as she chuckled lightly while tapping the armrest with her long nails. "He''s good.... ha! That vixen is really good," said Madam Qie her eyes as cold as a cier. She couldn''t understand what kind of method that man used but she had to admit it was pretty effective.


    Qie Xieling pretended not to hear anything with his head lowered writing seriously. He had no intention to interfere. When you see an iing tsunami you don''t dive into it, you run. Besides, he didn''t want his punishment doubled.


    Qie Ranzhe could understand her meaning but he wasn''t in the mood to argue. He went straight to the point. "I will take him to the apartment after he''s done with his punishment," he said with a solemn expression.


    "Hahaha... you have grown bold. Do you think you are too old to be punished? Tsk, what kind of potion did he use on you that both of you dare to disobey me?" she said her beautiful features turning ugly, "You have always lived in this house but for him, you are nning on moving out and taking my grandson with you. You have surely grown bold."


    Hating iron for not being steel, Madam Qie fought off the urge to take off her slipper and smack some sense into her son who was using his small head to think instead of the big one.


    "Keep him at the apartment and visit him as you please but my grandson is not going anywhere with you. Do you see how disrespectful he was to me yesterday? me that bad behaviour on Su Xin. Tsk... now my arithmia is acting up," she said before turning to look at the old butler, "Old Lu get me my medicine. These two are nning to shock me to death." She said this pointing at the two who were staring at her like she was a drama queen. The whole arithmia thing was a weapon she used ever so often and it had since lost its effectiveness.


    The butler hesitated for a moment before exiting the room in hurried footsteps. He also knew this act and it wasn''t good for the Madam to take medicine when she wasn''t sick. If he brought it, she would drink it just toplete the grand performance and manipte the two.


    Thus each time she does this he dys delivering the medicine hoping they would resolve the issue before his return. This time was no different. As soon as he walked out into the corridor his footsteps became as slow as a turtle. A turtle is actually pretty fast. He was as slow as a sloth.


    Madam Qie was growing impatient seeing that these two weren''t taking her seriously. This Su Xin was truly troublesome. She used to like him before because when she found out her son preferred men she had given up hope of having a grandchild but who would have expected a pie to fall from the sky. She was so happy she wanted to throw the wedding of the year and wee her new inw.


    Excited she expressed her joy bragging about Su Xin to her circle of friends and the big wedding she was nning. She didn''t expect Su Xin to blindside her like that. It was at one of her fundraising dinners did she find out that the Su Xin she was busy bragging about was caught in bed with her best friend''s daughter. She lost so much face that day that she didn''t dare show herself at such events.


    Just when she thought her son had moved on, the vixen shows up turning her family against her. ''Not going to happen to this queen bee,'' she thought abandoning the pity party. It wasn''t working anyway.

 Chapter 329: Fourth World: Stripper Pole and Hot Yoga Clause

    Chapter 329: Fourth World: Stripper Pole and Hot Yoga use


    She straightened up as though the pitiful woman who was crying wolf earlier wasn''t her and said, "Okay, let''spromise. Xieling kept on yelling he''s changed so I will give him a chance but...." Madam Qie paused watching her son''s taut expression rx then taut again after hearing the word but.


    She was incredibly annoyed. It turns out her domineering son who ruled the underworld with an iron fist was a henpecked husband. If this gets out, she will lose so much face that even burying her head in the sand like an ostrich wouldn''t save her.


    Since these two were resolute in their decision to stay with Su Xin then why not grant their wish and she would also be able to monitor the situation. Once that vixen oversteps she wouldn''t hesitate to deal heavy punishment.


    "He should move into Qie Mansion. Since you all like him so much then let him move in. That''s the only way Xieling will see Su Xin," she said with an imperative tone leaving no room for negotiation.


    Qie Xieling''s face sank but there was nothing he could do about it so he could only look at his daddy. Qie Ranzhe also felt discontented with the proposal and had to discuss it with Su Xin. He stood up and left the room dialling Su Xin''s number. He felt like he was caught between a rock and a hard ce with his mother and husband pulling from both sides.


    The cellphone immediately connected after only one ring. A blissful smile spread across his face thinking Su Xin probably missed him that he hurriedly answered the phone but that smile turned stiff when he heard Su Xin''s unenthusiastic response.


    "Ha! I answered before the third ring. Do you think I don''t know what you are doing? Trying to bait me into breaking use 1.9. Hahaha... you lose, sucker," said Wen Qinxi in a gloating manner. Ever since he learnt about the sneaky uses in that contract he had been reviewing it seriously. Thinking Qie Ranzhe was trying to entrap him, he answered swiftly not forgetting to gloat in the process.


    "Seriously," said Qie Ranzhe wondering how he fell in love with such a dense weasel.


    "Aiya.... daddy Ran this baby is not easy to fool. Once bitten twice shy... haha," said Wen Qinxi in a blush-inducing tone that had Qie Ranzhe wishing he was back at the apartment right now.


    "Would you care to repeat that when youe over?" said Qie Ranzhe imagining what he would do to him tonight.


    Wen Qinxi who felt safety in distance brazenly teased, "I can do more than that. How about I talk dirty to you right n-..... waite over where? Aren''t youing back to the apartment?"


    A wave of disappointment washed over Qie Ranzhe. He was curious to see where this conversation was headed but it was cut off just as it was getting good. "You are such a fuckin tease, you know that?"ined Qie Ranzhepletely unaware that his mother followed behind and she was currently eavesdropping on their conversation.


    "Hey, don''t change the subject. What you mean bying over?" asked Wen Qinxi having a bad premonition.


    Having failed restarting the love engine, Qie Ranzhe scratched his head exining, "You have to move to the Qie Mansion with me. I will send over the driver in two hours to bring you he-," but he was interrupted by Su Xin''s nervousughter.


    At the thought of that tigress, Wen Qinxi''s cheek suddenly felt hot. Unwilling to suffer for someone else''s sins he said, "I am not moving in. My cheek still hurts. What if she ps me again? I am not going to be her punching bag."


    "Xin-er, how can it still be painful when I applied numbing cream for youst night and this morning before I left?" eximed Qie Ranzhe liking this version of Su Xin. He liked it when his man acted spoilt though it was probably wrong timing.


    "Huh," said Wen Qinxi rubbing his cheek. He didn''t feel the pain when he woke up thinking that it healed pretty fast but it turns out Qie Ranzhe took care of it. He was touched but not touched enough to move in with his mother-inw.


    "Okay, how about this. I cancel use 3.3? Will you move in then?" suggested Qie Ranzhe trying to negotiate with him. Su Xin had every right to refuse but he wanted his family together so he had topromise. The sound of flipping pages echoed through the phone followed by Su Xin''s inaudible mumbles as though reading the use.


    "Oh shit! Ran-ge you must be fuckin crazy? How on earth did I miss this?.... You are such an ass. You even wrote it in fine print," said Wen Qinxi stupefied.


    "I am crazy for you baby. That''s all that matters so what do you say?" replied Qie Ranzhe feeling a bit regretful for choosing that use. He wanted to watch Su Xin dance on a strip pole for him. What a waste, he had already hired a dance studio to teach his lover.


    "Fuck! Do I look like a fuckin stripper? Ran-ge, I am not flexible enough for that," said Wen Qinxi while crossing it out with a pen till the ck ink covered the entire use.


    Qie Ranzhe grinned thinking Su Xin missed the yoga ss use. He couldn''t wait for Su Xin to get into the ''happy baby'' yoga pose. Just the thought of it made Qie Ranzhe''s throat parched.


    "Okay, so do we have a deal?" asked Qie Ranzhe feeling his body heat up because of his dirty thoughts.


    Wen Qinxi who had just found out that his husband had unique tastes, quickly agreed that is after throwing in something of his own benefit. The man wanted him to dance on a strip pole so how about he makes Qie Ranzhe wear cat ears, a bow tie and underwear for an entire night?


    "How about that, husband? One night, just one night and it would be underwear of my choosing," said Wen Qinxi already opening an app to shop online. If Qie Ranzhe knew what sort of underwear Wen Qinxi was buying he would never have agreed to it. In fact, he would have ditched Qie Xieling at the Qie Mansion. At least he would still have use 3.3.


    "Fine, fine cat ears, bow tie and underwear. I got it now pack up your stuff. I want to see you," said Qie Ranzhe with the tip of his ears as red as cherries. He especially chose that moment to turn around only to be met by his mother''s rebuking gaze.


    "What the.... mum! Why are you eavesdropping?"


    "You...! Tsk....," said the livid Madam Qie who heard every single detail, underwear and all. She decided these two can not be allowed to share a room, absolutely not.


    "Ma, I am not a teenager anymore. You can''t keep snooping. Snoop on Xieling, you will surely find something," said Qie Ranzhe walking away without even realizing that he hadn''t cut the phone.


    "Yes you are over thirty but you behave like a fuckin teenager. How am I supposed to answer to your forefathers when I die. I raised a henpecked son with a peculiar fetish.....,"


    Wen Qinxi, "....."

 Chapter 330: Fourth World: Who Will Sleep With Su Xin?

    Chapter 330: Fourth World: Who Will Sleep With Su Xin?


    Wen Qinxi felt a sense of uneasiness the closer he got to the Qie Mansion. It was like having a tiger by its tail but he was unable to extricate himself from this situation.


    He didn''t know what to expect since the only mum he had lived with was his own. Even in the first world, Madam Lin was the character''s mother which made it easier for him to treat her as his mother outside the game.


    In the second world, he barely interacted with Madam Qie but in the fourth world, he was meant to live with her. To say he wasn''t nervous would be an outright lie.


    The vehicle stopped in front of a gorgeous mansion with a magnificent fountain that had Wen Qinxi curious. But he didn''t have time to admire it as he had more worrisome things to think about.


    Old Lu opened the door for him and led him to the living room with a beaming smile. He had already spent the summer vacation with Su Xin and had a good impression of the man. When he returned from the ind he even tried to convince Madam Qie by expressing how much Su Xin had changed. But of course, the madam wouldn''t believe him till the day pigs fly and there weren''t any piggies in the air right now.


    When Wen Qinxi entered the living room, the Qie family adults were scrutinizing Qie Xieling''s calligraphy just like master penmen that they didn''t immediately notice him.


    Qie Xieling on the other hand was justing from the kitchen holding a can of soda heading back to be grilled by the two critics. Once he saw Su Xin, he gestured for him to keep silent and grabbed his dad''s wrist to lead him away before the others notice.


    Once the other two notice Su Xin, he would have topete for attention so he decided on this underhanded method. Unfortunately for him, Qie Ranzhe''s senses were so sharp that it didn''t take him long to catch wind of Su Xin''s presence.


    Just when Su Xin''s figure tailed off Qie Ranzhe called out, "Xieling!" As to why he called his son''s name it was because he knew who had the guts to convince Su Xin to make a break for it. Besides, if he was in the same position he would have done the same thing.


    Qie Xieling was forced to stop with a pained expression. He almost got away with it if it weren''t for his busybody of a father. Wen Qinxi wanted tough but Qie Xieling looked genuinely upset as he dragged him back to the living room.


    "I needed help with something in the kitchen so I asked him to help me for a minute. I promise I was going to bring him back," exined Qie Xieling with his body glued to Su Xin''s like lego pieces. It would take a little bit of effort to pull them apart.


    "Huh," replied Qie Ranzhe with an expression that spelt ''I don''t believe you'' but he didn''t n on exposing the boy''s lie.


    "Ahem," said Madam Qie clearing her throat loudly asserting that she was being ignored. She was already deducting favorability points from Su Xin which were already in the negative values.


    "Hello Auntie Qie," said Wen Qinxi trying to be as polite as possible. Gosh, the nerd had never been married hence he never interacted with inws outside the game. This meant he wasn''t sure how to handle such formalities.


    It seemed Madam Qie was well aware of this fact and didn''t intend to make it easier for him. She was still pissed off about the whole sleeping with her best friend''s daughter thing so she didn''t conceal the dissatisfaction on her face.


    "You do understand that I am the head of the house and if you do anything I deem dissatisfactory, I won''t hesitate to kick you out. Do you understand?" she said in an intimidating manner but based on Qie Ranzhe''s reaction she seemed more like a paper tiger.


    Qie Ranzhe was staring at him mouthing, "She won''t," and even went as far as making a barely visible kissy-face at Su Xin. This kind of frivolous version of Qie Ranzhe was too much for this nerd. Because of this action, Wen Qinxi didn''t know where to look suppressing hisughter within. It was hard to imagine his boss being like this in the real world.


    Madam Qie sensed something was off based on Su Xin''s behaviour and the only possible culprit was none other than Qie Ranzhe.


    Since her son wanted to y this game, she was left with no choice but to drop the bomb early. "Ahem... I have prepared a room for you on the first floor. It was once a storage room but I had Old Lu clean it up. You will sleep there from now on," she said but the reaction she got was so drastic like she had told Su Xin to sleep outside.


    Qie Xieling, "What?"


    Qie Ranzhe, "...."


    "Nana, I am used to sleeping with Su Xin. No need to trouble yourself. Dad can sleep with me," said Qie Xieling almost on his knees. He knew he couldn''t share a room with Su Xin for the rest of his life but for the time being, he was the baby of the family and should get what he wants.


    "Excuse me? He''s my husband so it''s only proper he shares a room with me," said Qie Ranzhe correcting his son who seemed to forget this was Daddy''s man. The kid slept over in Su Xin''s room for the entire summer vacation and that''s all he was getting.


    "My house my rules. Tsk, you two are going to stress me to death," she said before storming out just in case they wanted to negotiate. She knew she couldn''t restrain Qie Ranzhe and that it would be a miracle if he didn''t move Su Xin into his room while she was sleeping but she wanted to hold on to this illusion of power for longer.


    Her prediction was spot on because Qie Ranzhe did exactly that. As soon as she switched off her bedroom lights, a door was suddenly opened with the person walking in light footsteps going downstairs. She wanted to catch her son in the act so she waited for him toe back upstairs.


    Wen Qinxi was just celebrating his freedom and being able to forgo punishment for not replying to Qie Ranzhe''s messages when his door was pushed open. At first, he thought it was Qie Xieling bringing a pillow over just like the kid did at the ind Vi but the person walking in the shadows was taller.


    "Ran-ge, what the fuck are you doi-, mm mmm," said Wen Qinxi with thetter parting out as muffled noises because Qie Ranzhe was covering his mouth with a warm hand. He made a shh gesture before carrying him out of the room like a sack of potatoes.


    "Put me down," whispered Wen Qinxi with his head dangling upside down but Qie Ranzhe''s response to that was smacking Wen Qinxi''s butt.


    Wen Qinxi, "...."

 Chapter 331: Fourth World: Is Daddy Bullying Dad?

    Chapter 331: Fourth World: Is Daddy Bullying Dad?


    "You must have a fuckin death wish," whispered Wen Qinxi but it was pointless because to Qie Ranzhe there were just empty threats. Qie Ranzhe entered his bedroom and lightly shut the door before cing his lover on the bed.


    Qie Ranzhe straddled Su Xin pinning his wrists down and said, "Baby, did you forget your punishment?" before brushing his lips against the man''s sensitive skin.


    The angry kitten retracted its ws asking, "What are you nning to do to me," while outstretching his neck to the side for better ess. Qie Ranzhe sucked on Su Xin''s neck leaving behind a bruise that one could easily identify.


    "Ahh!" moaned Wen Qinxipletely unaware that he was being tied down. It seemed all that teasing was just a distraction for Qie Ranzhe to achieve his true purpose. By the time he realised his hands were cuffed it was already toote. It was a great thing the Qie Mansion had thick walls otherwise his dirty sounds would be heard by everyone.


    Madam Qie on the other hand had been waiting to hear two sets of footsteps but only heard one. Thinking Qie Ranzhe didn''t dare bring Su Xin upstairs, Madam Qie rxed thinking there was still hope for his son to be saved.


    Just as she rxed she heard a door opening once more. Curious, she tiptoed out of her room after a while ready to reprimand her son for changing his mind. As she reached the stairs she was surprised to find it was Qie Xieling holding a pillow. The kid whispered, "Su Xin," before turning the door handle and entering the room.


    Madam Qie wanted to go in there and take him back to his own room but the kid exited the room in the next second with a face full of confusion. It was then that he noticed his grandmother halfway down the stairs.


    "Did he chase you out?" she asked thinking Su Xin probably scolded her grandson but Qie Xieling shook his head.


    "He''s not there," replied Qie Xieling befuddled. He couldn''t figure out where Su Xin went.


    Madam Qie, "WTF."


    She knew where Su Xin was but couldn''t understand why she only heard one pair of footsteps earlier. It turns out her son carried Su Xin on purpose. Shaking her head in disappointment she said, "How about you sleepover in nana''s room tonight?"


    "No thanks," replied Qie Xieling with no regard for this old woman''s feelings. Just like that Qie Xieling bypassed her and went back to his room. Madam Qie only broke out of her trance at the sound of the door closing.


    The next morning Qie Xieling had to go to a music symposium to practice for an uing junior music festival so he had Su Xin take him. When he got into the car, he found his dad sitting in the back seat wearing sunsses and long sleeve t-shirt as though hiding something.


    Curious, Qie Xieling asked, "Su Xin, where were youst night? I came looking for you," in puzzlement. He really had no idea that his daddy snatched his dad away. As the saying goes ''you snooze you lose''.


    Wen Qinxi''s eyes widened underneath the sunsses recalling how that sexually depraved man handcuffed him and teased him for over an hour refusing for him to relieve himself. He was toyed with using ice cubes and whipped cream with Qie Ranzhe eating it off him like a hungry beast.


    He was tossed around till midnight. By the time Qie Ranzhe let him cum he was already begging to be fucked. What''s funny is that his chrysanthemum was still intact after all that. It seemed Qie Ranzhe nned on teasing him to death. As to the reason why he was wearing sunsses, it was because he hadn''t slept enough and woke up with panda eyes.


    "I sleptte.... ahem, ying games," said Wen Qinxi finding a usible excuse, "learn from me and don''t stay upte ying games."


    "Oh," replied Qie Xieling seeming satisfied with his dad''s answer but his gaze soon fell on Su Xin''s exposed wrists. There were faint red marks on his wrists. The kind you could only see if you looked closely. "What about those?"


    Wen Qinxi regretted that he didn''t bake some fudge to shut the kid up as he was running out of excuses. Because he was moving around a lotst night it was inevitable that he would have faint red marks. "You should ask your daddy when he gets home tonight," replied Wen Qinxi selling out Qie Ranzhe.


    Despite working him overtimest night, Qie Ranzhe woke up early and left without saying a word. Because he was a little upset about it he didn''t feel bad throwing the man under the bus.


    "And your lip?" asked Qie Xieling pointing at the obvious lip hickey at the corner of Su Xin''s bottom lip.


    Forgetting his terrifying panda eyes he lowered his sunsses and said, "Ask your daddy about that too. We are here. Give dad a kiss," but Qie Xieling flinched leaning back his expression that of surprise.


    "How much sleep did you lose for you to look like that?" asked Qie Xieling vowing to never pull an all-nighter. Even the driver cringed seeing the young sir looking like a genuine panda.


    "You...! Go, go otherwise you will bete," said Wen Qinxi opening the door for Qie Xieling. This kid was too inquisitive and hard to lie to.


    "Okay, okay, see you in the afternoon. Go rest at home," said Qie Xieling before exiting the car. As soon as he reached the entrance of the school, he took out his phone and messaged his daddy.


    Three blocks away, Qie Ranzhe received a message notification. Thinking it was important he opened the message interface only to be bombarded by a barrage of questions.


    Xieling: Where did Su Xin sleepst night?


    Xieling: He had panda eyes and says he didn''t sleep wellst night.


    Xieling: Why did he have a bruise on his lip and wrists?


    Xieling: Are you bullying Su Xin?


    Qie Ranzhe, "..."


    Yes, he bullied Su Xin but the kind of bullying that had the man begging for more.


    While Qie Xieling was interrogating Qie Ranzhe, Wen Qinxi was about to head to the apartment and sleep some more. He didn''t want to go back to a house with only Madam Qie which would make it awkward. So he decided to head for the apartment to take a nap before picking up Qie Xielingter in the afternoon but his ns abruptly changed after receiving a string of messages.


    OldSu: Meet me at the usual ce in thirty minutes.


    OldSu: Come alone.


    OldSu: We need to talk.


    Wen Qinxi had managed to retrieve Su Xin''s old contact list from his email and there was only one person who Su Xin would save their contact information in such a disrespectful way.


    It was none other than Su Long. The old man probably wanted to negotiate with him to get back the money he robbed. Thinking it was about time they met, Wen Qinxi gave the driver the address from the game files.

 Chapter 332: Fourth World: Baby Making Machine

    Chapter 332: Fourth World: Baby Making Machine


    As soon as the ck jeep parked in front of aundry mat, Wen Qinxi got out of the car holstering a handgun behind his back. He knew nothing good wille out of this meeting but his old man wouldn''t kill him because he held Su family''s entire wealth at his fingertips.


    Confident of that fact, he strolled into theundry mat as though walking down a red carpet. The ss door of theundry mat opened with a loud clinking sound attracting the receptionist''s attention. Thisundry mat was one of Su Long''sundering fronts meaning from the general manager to the janitor they were all Su Long''s men.


    If it weren''t for the funds in his hands he would have been walking out of this in a body bag. The receptionist didn''t say anything simply nodding to the back room. Wen Qinxi didn''t mind his attitude. He walked past the counter and the section packed with empty washing machines and dryers.


    He had told the driver to stay outside otherwise he might get caught in crossfire which meant he entered alone with no protection. As soon as he reached the wooden door at the other end of the room the door was opened from the inside. A familiar figure appeared before him. It was Su Long''spdog the man who physically threw Su Xin out of the Su Mansion after he was demoted as heir.


    Thepdog of a man was truly loyal to his master despite his master being as broke as the tooth fairy. As soon as he met Su Xin''s gaze the man got right in his face in an intimidating stance like was about to punch him. Raising his clenched fist, thepdog swung at Su Xin but his fistnded on the wall after Su Long stopped him.


    "Shit! Not on my money maker you dumbfuck," said Wen Qinxi grateful to money for saving his ass from a beating. Not that the character Su Xin wouldn''t fair well in a fight. He just didn''t want to feel pain.


    Wen Qinxi took off his sunsses and sat at the mahjong table opposite Su Long. Next to Su Long were two other men possibly shareholders. They seemed to be in the middle of gambling but lost interest when they saw this traitor.


    Su Long took a drag of his cigar and puffed up a string of smoke before lifting his head to look at Su Xin.


    The old man seemed to have aged rapidly with wrinkles in ces that used to have smooth skin. The reason for that was obvious. Besides losing his money Qie Ranzhe was burning his backup businesses to ash.


    Yes, he knew he had fucked up this time but there was no going back even if he kowtowed before the man sincerely. His only hope was to get back his wealth,pensate the shareholders and his family members before vanishing from the circle.


    Despite his urge to strangle this son of his to death, he had to act courteously to him so he can retrieve his wealth. "You want to y?" he asked but Su Xin didn''t respond staring at him like he was looking at a stranger.


    "Hasn''t dad been good to you in the past?.... Why not save this old man some face and y one game with me?"


    Wen Qinxi liked ying online mahjong at low stakes with the nerds in the game room but he didn''t feel like ying with this cunning old fox. "Why don''t we just stop horsing around and get to the point. What do you want?" replied Wen Qinxi with a hint of impatience.


    Su Long tightly clenched the tile in his hand with his burning gaze boring through Su Xin''s face. This kid had grown a tail as deep as the Pacific ocean and it had to be cut short. "Su! Xin! You....!" yelled Su Long but Su Xin suddenly lifted his index figure gesturing for him to hold.


    The young man dared to interrupt him because his cellphone made a dinging sound indicating an iing message. "I have to respond to this otherwise I won''t get any rest tonight," said Wen Qinxi tapping on the screen.


    DaddyRan: Baby, where are you?


    Wen Qinxi was about toe up with a perfunctory response when another message came through.


    "<em>Ding!</em>"


    DaddyRan: Don''t fuckin dare lie to me.


    Wen Qinxi sighed and sent through his location in a few taps before sending a response.


    Handsome Xi: I am taking care of something.


    With that said, he locked his phone and he was about to ask Su Long to carry on but who would have expected the old man to literally flip over the table in one swoop as multiple firearms got pointed in his direction.


    The group of men didn''t immediately open fire as though waiting for something. "You think just because you crawled into that man''s bed he will be able to protect you? You are just one of his pets and when he''s done with you he will throw you away like garbage... Su Xin, you are just a baby-making machine to him but to me, you are my family. Now wake up and make the fuckin right decision for once in your life," said the old man with purple veins bulging on the side of his neck.


    "Who the fuck are you calling a baby-making machine? Don''t talk shit otherwise you won''t get a cent back," said Wen Qinxi feeling like he had stepped on a livend mine, "Go ahead. Pull the trigger. I have been meaning to donate to a good cause..... Which charity would father like me to donate to?"


    "You!..... How did I end up with a fuckin freak for a son? Now you are spreading your legs for that man like a slut just like your mother. You ar-," replied Su Long but he was interrupted by a familiar sounding from Su Xin''s phone.


    "<em>Ding!</em>"


    "<em>Thank you Mr Su for donating a million dors to meals on wheels. We appreciate your support</em>," said an automated female voiceing from Wen Qinxi''s phone.


    He knew Su Long''s weakness when he came here. He automated his banking app to make a transfer the first ten minutes he stayed in this room. After the first ten minutes, the banking app will start making transfers after every half a minute to the same organization.


    Su Long almost spat out a mouthful of blood at that notification. Angered to death he took a gun from hispdog intending to pull the trigger but Su Xin''s voice stopped him.


    "Nuh uhhhh, I wouldn''t do that if I was you. You see, for every half a minute I spend in this room this useful banking app deposits a million into the charity organization mention before. Because this organization is global you won''t be able to get your dirty paws on them so why don''t we use our words instead," said Wen Qinxi.


    Just as he said that another notification came in with the same message. Su Long felt his heart hurt hearing that annoying automated voice letting him know that another million had been donated to a good cause.

 Chapter 333: Fourth World: Qie Ranzhe Gets Angry

    Chapter 333: Fourth World: Qie Ranzhe Gets Angry


    Su Long''s fingers tightly clenched the grip of the handgun trying to quell the urge to pull the trigger. He was about to say something else when the crashing sound of ss shattering followed by a whizzing sound permeated the air. A bullet had entered from the window urately striking Su Long''spdog in the head.


    Before anyone had time to react another bullet struck Su Long''s shoulder causing the old man to yelp in pain. One of Su Long''s men tried to drag him to hide behind a bookcase but he was struck in the heart causing him to tumble on top of Su Long.


    The old man pushed off the corpse lying on top of him with a face covered in blood. He scanned around only to find Su Xin hiding behind the table as a rain of bullets filled the room. He knew this had something to do with Qie Ranzhe.


    This was expected as he had offended the big boss. He just assumed he had plenty of time to get away because Qie Ranzhe was famous for toying with his victims stripping them of all power and make thest strike when they were rendered powerless with no means to save themselves.


    Currently, he was at the phase where his businesses were being burnt to ash but it seemed meeting up with Su Xin catalyzed his downfall. Thinking he could hold Su Xin hostage and save himself, Su Long crawled to his son hiding behind the table.


    Actually, Wen Qinxi wasn''t hiding. When gunfire broke out his cellphone rang. If it was anyone else he would have let it go to voice mail but it was Qie Ranzhe so he had to answer. One can only imagine how pissed off Qie Ranzhe was from his voice alone.


    "Xin-er, what the fuck were you thinking. It appearsst night''s punishment wasn''t good enough. You seem like you still have a lot of energy to run around behind my back," yelled Qie Ranzhe once the phone connected.


    Wen Qinxi had never been scolded this much by that man and his reaction surprised even himself. He wasughing nervously trying to coax the man. "Daddy Ran don''t be upset. You know I meant wel-," but Qie Ranzhe interjected.


    "Are you fuckinughing right now? You think this is funny?"


    It seemed he had only seeded in infuriating the man further. Just as he was about to exin himself a gunshot rang above his head followed by a loud thud. Su Long who had just stood up to grab him was shot in the head this time. "Shit!" yelled Wen Qinxi peeking from behind the table.


    He removed the safety on his handgun intending to clean out whoever was remaining so he could go back to coaxing his husband when the door was kicked open. Thinking it was Su Long''s back up, he squatted down ready to ride or die.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Three shots rang out followed by loud thudding sounds. Wen Qinxi immediately stood up aiming his gun at the door only to find Qie Ranzhe standing there looking like an angry bull. "Fuck," mumbled Wen Qinxi putting away the hot potato in his hand.


    "Yes, you are fucked,.... hahaha," said Machu as Qie Ranzhe walked over and grabbed Wen Qinxi''s wrist.


    Wen Qinxi was dragged to the ck car parked outside and pushed into the front seat. He genuinely thought that Qie Ranzhe would get into the car and scold him some more but the man didn''t immediately get into the vehicle. For five minutes, Qie Ranzhe was leaning against the hood of the car trying to cool his anger down.


    With each passing moment, Wen Qinxi grew even more nervous so he opened the car door trying to coax his angry husband but who would have thought Qie Ranzhe would turn around and say, "Don''t you fuckin dare get out of the car."


    Those words had Wen Qinxi gulping in fright. He had seen Qie Ranzhe angry but never was he this angry with him. Maybe it was his tall stature or bloodshot eyes that terrified him to the point of obediently sitting in the car.


    After ten minutes of one standing outside the other sitting inside quietly like an obedient child, Qie Ranzhe finally got into the car causing Wen Qinxi''s heart to leap out of his chest. ''I am fuckin dead,'' thought Wen Qinxi staring dead ahead. He had no confidence to look at Qie Ranzhe who was sitting in the driver''s seat.


    The tension was so thick and heavy that Wen Qinxi felt like running away but that was obviously not an option. Qie Ranzhe silently started the car and the two of them drove in silence. He wanted to ask where they were going but he wasn''t foolish enough to poke the bear at this instant.


    The car drove for a quarter of an hour before entering a familiar underground parking lot. Qie Ranzhe parked at the far corner facing the wall. He switched off the engine and leaned over to Su Xin out of the blue.


    Wen Qinxi didn''t expect the sudden attack. His lips were kissed fiercely with a hint of urgency. Qie Ranzhe didn''t spare him sucking and nibbling at the man''s lips as though eating something sweet. It seemed he couldn''t control himself because Qie Ranzhe''s hands began to grope under Wen Qinxi''s t-shirt like a feverish animal in heat.


    The space turned hot in an instant with the two tongues sensually chasing after each other. Wen Qinxi found this sexy but at the rate at which things were going, his cherry in this world might be popped in the car which would be extremely ufortable. He was about to protest when his car seat was suddenlyid back by Qie Ranzhe as the man loosened his tie.


    "Ran-ge, um uh mm why can''t we do this at home?" said Wen Qinxi trying to reason with the man before it was toote.


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t seem to hear him kissing his neck like a hungry bear leaving red marks as though iming ownership. Wen Qinxi felt his entire body heat up, horny as hell. ''Fuck it,'' he thought reaching for the bulge under Qie Ranzhe''s pants.


    As soon as his hand reached the man''s stiff member, his arm was grasped to prevent him from advancing further. Qie Ranzhe also stopped kissing him with his head leaning against Su Xin''s shoulder. The two men panted heavily with neither of them speaking for a minute.


    Qie Ranzhe suddenly spoke in an aggrieved tone. "Baby, I am upset. I am really upset with you," he said before getting off Su Xin.


    Wen Qinxi was at a loss on what to do. This was a first for him and he had no idea how to deal with this situation. Qie Ranzhe''s words felt like a knife stabbing into his chest. He wanted to apologize but it seemed it would be pointless in this situation.


    While Wen Qinxi was stuck in a daze, Qie Ranzhe straightened his clothes and suddenly opened the door leaving Su Xin sitting alone in the car. Feeling frustrated, Wen Qinxi ruffled his hair yelling, "Fuck!"


    It seemed it would take a whole lot of effort to coax this man this time around.

 Chapter 334: Fourth World: Shes Backkkk

    Chapter 334: Fourth World: She''s Backkkk


    One stubborn man dealing with another stubborn man proved to be more difficult than expected. Wen Qinxi had never had to coax a grown man before. He tried to rouse Qie Ranzhe''s interest by doing certain things but nothing seemed to work.


    Even the magical words ''sexy daddy Ran'' didn''t seem to quench Qie Ranzhe''s anger. To be more precise, Qie Ranzhe was giving him an ice-cold shoulder locking himself up in his study for an entire day.


    After failing to use food and sweet words to get his man to forgive him, Wen Qinxi was running out of options. Since none of his ns were working out for him, Wen Qinxi decided to go out buy a few things and pick up Qie Xieling. That would at least get his mind off things.


    As soon as he opened the door to the apartment he found an unexpected guest standing by the door with a fancy shopping bag. It seemed the cold war between him and Qie Ranzhe had attracted vultures to their doorstep. Who knows how she found out there was trouble in paradise. Such a coincidence only happens in a K series dog blood drama and yet here she was.


    "Ran-ge," said Zhao Huangzhi in a flirtatious voice with her hand midair. It seemed she wanted to knock on the door when it was suddenly opened. Her bright smile sank when she saw who it was.


    "What are you still doing h-," she asked but didn''t get to finish her statement when a loud bang was heard with the door shutting right in her face.


    Wen Qinxi didn''t forget to lock the door while he was at it. He walked to the sink to fill up a ss of water. He gulped down the entire ss in one go but his face was so hot that a ss of water couldn''t cool him down.


    Another soft knock was heard but it was thoroughly ignored by Wen Qinxi. He decided to call Qie Xieling and let him know that he won''t be able to pick him up. If he as much as steps out of that door he was certain that homewrecker will wiggle her way in.


    He initiated a video chat with his son which was picked up in the next second. Qie Xieling seemed to be walking down a corridor with a ck case strapped at his shoulder. "Dad," he said with a beaming smile, "I am going to the auditorium. Is there something the matter?"


    Wen Qinxi felt his heart softened seeing Qie Xieling and said, "Your daddy is in a bad mood so I need to stay andfort him. Wil-." His sentence was rudely cut off by the knocking and yelling sounds that became louder. He was so grateful Qie Ranzhe''s office was soundproofed otherwise this green tea bitch would attract his attention.


    The voice sounded familiar to Qie Xieling so he asked, "Is that Auntie Huangzhi. You don''t know her but she lives in the same building two floors below."


    This new piece of information was so shocking that Wen Qinxi''s fingers trembled while holding the phone. "How long has she been living in this building?"


    "Oh, not so sure but she moved in after us. Her father did some business with daddy for a while. After that, she moved in and often cooked for us or take me shopping." Just as Qie Xieling said this someone suddenly called his name. "Coming..... Dad, I have to go. Keep daddypany and you can make it up to me with some fudge tomorrow. Bye."


    With that said, the line was cut before Wen Qinxi could respond. From that information, he knew exactly what was going on. The fact that Su Xin slept with Zhao Hua was no coincidence. This wicked witch from the west had something to do with it.


    Annoyed, he walked over to the door, opened it and came out to face her. It''s better to mark one''s territory in advance lest some ambitious people try to snatch his man away.


    Zhao Huangzhi truly believed it would be Qie Ranzhe opening the door this time so she had put up a happy front but her face sank like a bucket of cold water was poured on her.


    "Why is it you again? Where is Ran-ge?" she asked with a look of disdain all over her pretty face. She had witnessed the underground parking scene and knew that Su Xin had screwed up again. Thinking Su Xin would be kicked to the curb by now she ordered some sweet desserts and expensive wine for her male god.


    That male god was actually in his office watching the entire thing through surveince. In all truthfulness, he was ying hard to get as punishment for Su Xin so the man wouldn''t scare him like that next time. His n was going well that is until he saw Su Xin heading to the door.


    He was about to message him and ask Su Xin where he was going when Miss Zhao showed up at the apartment door. They were friendly with each other and he was doing good business with Mr Zhao but he never had any intentions of dating her.


    He had also made his position clear to her but that didn''t stop Zhao Huangzhi from pursuing him. He mostly ignored her and let her be but now it seemed he had to set clear boundaries.


    Curious to know how Su Xin would handle this situation, Qie Ranzhe decided not to intervene and watch how this was going to y out.


    It was a pretty good show indeed because Wen Qinxi was going straight for the kill especially after previous experiences. "Ran-ge is a fuckin married man and you can''t address him informally like that lest people misunderstand," said Wen Qinxi venting out his frustration on this person who chose the wrong time to show up.


    Zhao Huangzhi scoffed thinking she had just heard the funniest joke of the year. "Says the guy who slept with too many women to count. You even slept with my sister yet you areing at me acting like a saint. Ha! What a fuckin joke."


    "Oh no, you misunderstood me. I am not a saint but the fuckin devil," he said with a fierce gaze that made her flinch in fright, "so let me make things clear. Ran-ge belongs to me and if you dare show yourself in front of him again I will make you disappear from the face of the earth. Do you understand?"


    The threat was effective as it had Zhao Huangzhi shaken within but her name was Zhao Huangzhi after all so how could she show weakness.

 Chapter 335: Fourth World: Kinky Outfit

    Chapter 335: Fourth World: Kinky Outfit


    "Hahaha.... you think highly of yourself Su Xin. The Su family has no standing in this city and if you as much asy a hand on me the Zhao family will skin you alive. Who will protect you then?" she said before taking out her phone to dial Qie Ranzhe''s number.


    If Su Xin was going to be unreasonable then it would be best if she goes straight to the head office. Wen Qinxi was curious to see how this was going to end so he patiently watched her dial Qie Ranzhe''s number.


    The call connected after two rings and she immediately began toin in a coquettish tone that could stimte any man''s interest. "Ran-ge, I came looking for you but this slut won''t let me in. I miss you and want to see you," she said ncing over at Su Xin who was glowering at her with a ''you are dead'' expression.


    "Put me on loudspeaker," said Qie Ranzhe in an enchanting deep voice that yed on Zhao Huangzhi''s heartstrings. She seemed to think Qie Ranzhe was going to yell at Su Xin and let her into the apartment. With a smug on her face she put the cellphone on loudspeaker waiting for Qie Ranzhe to speak.


    "Miss Zhao, from now on there is no need for you toe and visit me. If there is any business that needs to be discussed please go through your father. Secondly, please stop referring to me as Ran-ge. Only my wife would be allowed to call me that from now on. Is that clear?" said Qie Ranzhe through the cellphone as ck lines appeared on Zhao Huangzhi''s face.


    "But," she said when Qie Ranzhe interjected,


    "Baby, may you please send the guest to the elevator and hurry up. You still need to coax me," before directly cutting the line.


    A smirk quirked on Wen Qinxi''s face ready to take the trash out but Zhao Huangzhi wasn''t epting of the situation. She tried to dial Qie Ranzhe''s number once more but she found out she had been cklisted. "No, no, Ran-ge you can''t," she said before raising her head to face the culprit, "You!"


    She raised her hand to p Su Xin but Wen Qinxi had already been pped twice in this world. That was more than enough so he caught her hand midair and dragged her to the elevator. As soon as those elevator doors opened he said, "Miss Zhao count this as yourst warning. Next time I won''t be this nice."


    Wen Qinxi re-entered the apartment feeling upset. First, it was Kai Zi now it''s Zhao Huangzhi seeking out Qie Ranzhe. He was going to die from a vinegar overdose in this world.


    Qie Ranzhe''s smile deepened watching his sweetheart throw a fuss outside. He was still upset about the fact that his lover dove into danger without him. He honestly didn''t know what he would do if anything happened to Su Xin which is why he was angry with him. But watching Su Xin eat vinegar for him eased his anger a little.


    He was patiently waiting for Su Xin toe back and cajole him some more. Qie Ranzhe was curious to see what other trick Su Xin had up his sleeve but after two hours Su Xin still hadn''t made his appearance. Thinking Su Xin was still angry about Zhao Huangzhi showing up at their apartment door, Qie Ranzhe decided to send him a message.


    He typed, erased and retyped his message not sure what to send. He still wanted to appear angry but also approachable so he can lure his Su Xin out but none of his words was satisfactory.


    What he didn''t know was that Su Xin was busy sprucing himself up in the guest bedroom. Because there was no camera in the bedrooms, Qie Ranzhe had no idea.


    The reason why it was taking Wen Qinxi this long to go entice his husband was because after he prepared himself he couldn''t figure out how to put on this slutty outfit. His toes kept getting caught in the stockings plus there was strange looking lingeriebelled garter. "What the fuck is this?" mumbled Wen Qinxi confused as hell.


    Believe it or not, he had to watch a tutorial on Baidu to make sense of this costume from Mars. While watching the video intently, Wen Qinxi received a call from Qie Ranzhe. It seemed the man was tired of waiting for him.


    Wen Qinxi answered the call after muting the video. "Yuh?" said Wen Qinxi squinting his eyes to watch what thedy in the video was doing with the straps that he didn''t pay attention to his tone.


    Qie Ranzhe, "..."


    ''Isn''t he supposed to be coaxing me? So why does it sound like I am the one coaxing him?'' thought Qie Ranzhe feeling aggrieved.


    "Come here," said Qie Ranzhe with an imperative tone but Wen Qinxi didn''t even show signs of moving while clipping in the annoying straps on the stockings that were covering his thighs. He couldn''t understand how women put up with suchplicated things.


    It was after he had put on the entire outfit did he remember that Qie Ranzhe had called him twenty minutes ago asking for him toe over. Wen Qinxi put on the ck floral pumps while rushing out of the guest bedroom.


    Meanwhile, Qie Ranzhe was so tired of waiting that he was about to dial Su Xin''s number once more. That is before the door was slowly opened with a creak. As soon as Su Xin walked in Qie Ranzhe''s cellphone dropped with a bam, his mouth agape.


    Qie Ranzhe, "..."


    If there is one word to describe each person, one was incredibly shy and the other was basically drooling. It''s easy to tell which reaction belongs to whom. Being ogled at like that Wen Qinxi felt so embarrassed pretending to straighten the cute apron with a face as red as ripe cherries. Qie Ranzhe on the other hand, felt his crotch tighten with his throat as dry as the desert sand. He caressed Su Xin''s entire body with his amorous eyes. Sweet, soft and kinky was all he could think of.


    If this is Su Xin''s way of coaxing him then he should get angry more often. There was no way he was going to let Su Xin walk out of the room unscathed.


    "Come here," he said in a hoarse voice with his fingers beckoning Su Xin toe closer marking the beginning of an unforgettable night.


    To be continued.

 Chapter 336: Fourth World: NSFW

    Chapter 336: Fourth World: NSFW


    Research proves that sexual rtions between couples have countless benefits. But whatever the benefits were Wen Qinxi''s only focus was having this man prate his deepest depth alleviating that unbearable itch he had been feeling ever since he entered this world.


    No one knows how hard it was to get this man interested in him again despite all the character''s misdeeds. He would be willing to wear a thong right now as long as it could get himid but that didn''t mean he wasn''t embarrassed. When it came to this, he surprisingly had thin skin.


    Standing by the door his face flushed crimson. Wen Qinxi couldn''t move a single step despite Qie Ranzhe beckoning him toe closer. He stood rooted on the spot twirling the hem of his skirt with his index finger seeming bashful.


    Qie Ranzhe understood what was happening so he strode over to the liquor decanter, poured out some whiskey and walked over to his lover standing by the door in slow footsteps. He didn''t know how this idea came about in Su Xin''s mind but he loved it.


    It was after all one of his fantasies hidden in the depths of his heart but somehow Su Xin knew about it and fulfilled his wish just to coax him. This kind of thoughtful version of Su Xin made his heart itch. Tonight he can finally do what he only got to do once and this time he would be as sober as day. Just the thought of thrusting into that man''s crevice excited him to the point of losing his mind.


    He stood in front of his lover with barely any space between them. Their bodies pressed together with their warmth suffusing concurrently through the fabric. Qie Ranzhe slowly caressed Su Xin''s silky skin from the man''s shoulder down to his thigh.


    Neither of them said anything with Qie Ranzhe''s unruly hand slowly creeping into the skirt. Qie Ranzhe''s gaze fell onto those dted pupils that seemed to draw him in urging him to drown in his carnal desires. "Xin-er," called out Qie Ranzhe in a deep husky voice.


    "En," replied Wen Qinxi with his heart pounding hard against his chest. There was one word he could use to describe this scene. Sexy! Incredibly Sexy!


    He felt a divine sensation spreading all over his body from Qie Ranzhe caressing his ass under the skirt. He had gonemando for this very reason and it seemed to pay off. His man was keenly kneading his ass with a gruff groan escaping Qie Ranzhe''s throat while gulping hard his adam''s apple bobbing up and down.


    "I want you," whispered Qie Ranzhe with his eyes fixed on those pink lips that were glossy from Su Xin licking his lower lip earlier. His hand moved up to the buttons of the costume that were blocking his view. He unbuttoned each white button slowly with his fingers tracing the pale skin revealed from underneath. "I want you so bad," he reiterated pressing his body against Su Xin''s.


    "Then you can have me," replied Wen Qinxi feeling like he was going to die from the man''s teasing. At the man''s touch, his lower half twitched with a thin fluid seeping out wetting his skirt. He was eager to be fucked but had to go with Qie Ranzhe''s pace for now.


    Qie Ranzhe sighed weakly before taking a sip of the whiskey. With part of the smooth liquid in his mouth, Qie Ranzhe lifted Su Xin''s chin and transferred the warm liquor into the man''s mouth while kissing him. Wen Qinxi swallowed it down his throat with some of it flowing to his neck before disappearing under his costume.


    Under the fluorescent light, the two men kissed each other passionately with their tongues entangled together. Wen Qinxi was kissed breathless by the feverish man who seemed to have lost himself in a sea of lust. The smooth aftertaste of whiskey further intensified the intoxicating feeling of kissing the one he loves.


    Qie Ranzhe slowly parted lips with his lover before licking and sucking on the man''s neck tracing the remnants of the sweet liquor. "Ah!.... Ngh~... Ah!" moaned Wen Qinxi under Qie Ranzhe''s provocation.


    Qie Ranzhe lowered his head further down licking and sucking the delicate supple skin while grinding his stiff cock against the man''s body. He eagerly licked the man''s pink nipple making Su Xin shudder at his touch.


    When the rough moist tongue teased his pink cherry blossom, Wen Qinxi sped Qie Ranzhe''s head with his back arching as though begging for more. A strange current spread from his erect nipple making him moan subconsciously.


    "Daddy Ran... Ah, ngh~," cried out Wen Qinxi his face flushed from all the excitement.


    Unable to bear it anymore he slid his hand down under to touch the man''s stiff member but Qie Ranzhe lifted him and walked over to the desk with ease. He gently ced Su Xin down before frantically undoing his tie and unbuttoning his shirt. The man was standing tall the very next second with his top half naked.


    Qie Ranzhe slid in-between Su Xin''s legs and proceeded to kiss him while caressing the man''s body through the fabric. Wen Qinxi naturally wouldn''t miss the opportunity to touch his man to his heart''s content. His naughty hands caressed the man''s sturdy back while grinding up against him.


    Hisscivious behaviour caused a groan to escape from Qie Ranzhe''s throat. "Ugh...baby," groaned Qie Ranzhe with his stiff member grinding against Su Xin''s abdomen. Qie Ranzhe urged Su Xin to lie down on the desk and spread his legs in an M shape giving him full view of the man''s sweet parts.


    His lustful gaze was startled for a split second having noticed something different but he didn''t mind it. Present or absent it didn''t make a difference to him. He just wanted to fuck this man hard. Wen Qinxi who was looking up to the ceiling naturally missed Qie Ranzhe''s change in expression waiting patiently for some sweet loving.


    With a crackling sound, a bottle of lubricant was opened as the sweet scent of watermelon permeated the air. Tworge hands stained with lubricant slithered on his skin from under the skirt moving upwards to his aroused nipples. Qie Ranzhe skillfully fondled the man''s skin with his hot rod pressing against Su Xin''s chrysanthemum.


    Wen Qinxi''s entire body trembled followed by lewd moans and groans from being touched. He felt a warm sensation spread to his legs with his stiff member throbbing as though begging for attention.


    Naturally, Qie Ranzhe didn''t disappoint with a slippery hand wrapping around the man''s throbbing member. The warmth from Qie Ranzhe''s palm made the cock in his hand stiffen further. Qie Ranzhe stroked Su Xin''s cock with his other hand sliding under the dishevelled maid costume caressing his lover''s skin.


    Wen Qinxi felt his intense pleasure multiply with each stroke making him groan. His lower belly twitched with each movement as he rapidly approached his breaking point. Unfortunately for him, Qie Ranzhe didn''t want him to get there this early so he withdrew his hand and turned him over.

 Chapter 337: Fourth World: NSFW 2

    Chapter 337: Fourth World: NSFW 2


    Wen Qinxi was now on all fours on top of the desk with his tender ass exposed. This lustful scene had Qie Ranzhe unable to resist smacking the pale cheeks. The loud pa sound earned him a re from Su Xin but he found this re cute.


    "Don''t be mad baby. Daddy will make you feel good in a minute," said Qie Ranzhe rubbing the spot that was already turning pink. He squeezed out a generous amount of lube on the man''s ass especially that tight chrysanthemum calling out to him.


    Wen Qinxi felt a finger slip into his chrysanthemum making him grasp the edge of the desk tightly. It felt like something was probing his secret ce but it was bearable. Qie Ranzhe thrust in with his finger as though searching for something and when he found it he graduated to two then three fingers preparing his man for a good fuck.


    Such stimtion had Wen Qinxi desperate for a release but based on past experience he might get punished if he touches himself. He could only suffer a while longer while provoking Qie Ranzhe till the man couldn''t hold back anymore.


    "Fuck me Daddy Ran... I want you to fuck me... Ah~," said Wen Qinxi in a slutty tone while grinding against Qie Ranzhe''s fingers.


    As expected, Qie Ranzhe couldn''t watch Su Xin take so much pleasure from his fingers. He unzipped his pants and stroked his member before grabbing the man''s glossy butt cheek and slowly thrusting into the man''s lewd hole. "Ah!... Bear with me baby. It might hurt a little," said Qie Ranzhe brushing away the skirt that was getting in the way. He thrust in slowly while caressing the garter on Su Xin''s thigh.


    Wen Qinxi bit his lower lip enduring the pain awaiting the rewards. Sure enough, it didn''t take long for that intense feeling to kick in causing him to moan. "Ah... Ah, don''t stop daddy. Fuck me hard."


    High pitched moans and beastly growls filled the room with each thrust withscivious fluids flowing down Wen Qinxi''s thighs. Qie Ranzhe thrust towards Su Xin''s prostate each time making the man cry out in pleasure.


    Pa pa pa sounds echoed the room as faint spasms spread all over Wen Qinxi''s body. Such stimtion was unbearable for Wen Qinxi that he arched his back in a half-kneeling position and shot out a stream of white fluid from his erection. His lower half convulsed in gratification while panting heavily.


    Qie Ranzhe sucked Su Xin''s earlobe while his hands rubbed the man''s chest. "Let me fuck you some more," whispered Qie Ranzhe while gently thrusting in with his hard rod sucked into the man''s precious hole.


    Wen Qinxi had noints nodding his head while catching his breath. The obscene sounds of flesh pounding against flesh started again but this time Wen Qinxi was standing holding on to a chair with his man pounding him from behind as before.


    "Ah! Fuck me hard daddy Ran... ngh... ah!" cried out Wen Qinxi wanting his itchy chrysanthemum filled to the brim by his man.


    Qie Ranzhe naturallyplied thrusting deeper into the hot crevice. Su Xin was like an intoxicating fine wine he couldn''t get enough of. His thick cock violently thrust in savouring the sweet taste of his man. It was as though a lustful beast had been awakened pounding this man to no end.


    Wen Qinxi shot out once more with his entire body convulsing but this man wasn''t done with him. If anything, this was only the beginning. "Ah hubby no more...ah~ ngh," cried out Wen Qinxi, "Daddy Ran, too deep, ah~."


    Qie Ranzhe wanted more but he had to give his man a break so he quickened his thrusts and shot his cum with a loud groan. "Ugh... shit! Fuck," groaned Qie Ranzhe with his cock thrusting deep inside his lover with faint convulsions.


    Panting heavily, Qie Ranzhe kissed Wen Qinxi''s neck while yfully stroking the man''s member. "Let''s go to the bedroom," said Qie Ranzhe before carrying the panting Su Xin to his room.


    If he knew that this was only half time Wen Qinxi would have refused to be carried out of that study.


    Qie Ranzhe ced him on therge bed andy next to him with his limbs wrapped around the man like an octopus. Hey there silently staring at Su Xin with a foolish smile on his face.


    Wen Qinxi finally managed to gather out some strength and turned his head to look at him. The two stared at each other for a while with a peaceful tender air surrounding them. Wen Qinxi wanted to say something but it was Qie Ranzhe who broke the silence.


    "What did you do to yourself?" asked Qie Ranzhe brushing against Su Xin''s belly with his index finger.


    Wen Qinxi naturally understood what he was talking about. It seemed Su Xin had corrective surgery for his female genitalia when he was young but his mother didn''t say anything. She never told Su Long about their son''s unique situation so she decided to correct it herself without her husband''s knowledge.


    She considered herself lucky falling pregnant despite being a kept woman and wanted her son to inherit the family business but the fact that he was intersex would pose a problem.


    Desperate, she gathered a small amount of cash and went to a backstreet surgeon for the surgery. If she used her bank cards given to her by Su Long and find a good surgeon, he would naturally find out. This forced her to use this method.


    This meant this surgery wasn''t done well and Su Xin had no idea he was different until a drunken night with the crime boss. As soon as he gave birth and found out he could no longer inherit the Su family, he used his savings to remove the female genitaliapletely but this entire ordeal screwed with his psychological health. Having sex with so many women was a means to prove that he was a man, not a woman.


    Qie Ranzhe was drunk the first time and had little memory of how Su Xin looked like before but that scar caught his attention while they were doing it today that he just had to ask.


    He gently caressed Su Xin''s cheek and asked, "You didn''t want to have another child with me?"


    Wen Qinxi couldn''t hold back hisughter as he said, "If I have another one wouldn''t you have one more person fighting for my attention?"


    Qie Ranzhe found that his reasoning made sense so he grinned from ear to ear and said, "Then it''s a good thing. How about you give me your full attention once more?" With that said, Qie Ranzhe climbed on top of him trying to start something.


    Wen Qinxi wanted toin but he found out that he was powerless when it came to Qie Ranzhe''s charm. This meant he was fucked senseless two more times passing out before the fourth round could even begin.


    In his sleep, he felt himself being moved around but he couldn''t bring himself to open his heavy eyes. It seemed Qie Ranzhe cleaned them up both before settling him in bed. He fell asleep in his lover''s arms only to be wakened tomorrow morning by something poking his thigh.


    Wen Qinxi, "...."

 Chapter 338: Fourth World: Nana Robs Lin Lins Fudge

    Chapter 338: Fourth World: Nana Robs Lin Lin''s Fudge


    For the past two days, Wen Qinxi groused about Qie Ranzhe like a broken record. The man was an unapproachable iceberg to the rest of the world but a beast in bed. Wen Qinxi liked it but didn''t like the backache that came afterwards so he protected his backside using this excuse for the past two days.


    Qie Ranzhe had also developed a special habittely. Whenever he passed by Su Xin he would take it upon himself to smack the man''s ass or knead it with great fanfare. He wouldn''t even feel ashamed to do it in front of the woman who gave birth to him making it even more awkward for Wen Qinxi.


    The pig teammate Qie Ranzhe wasn''t at all helping him get into Madam Qie''s good side. These past two days, it seemed like a grey cloud was hovering above her head furtherplicating matters.


    Madam Qie felt she was going to be blinded by her son''s shamelessness so she decided to take a trip to a spa and relieve some tension but just as she was about to step out of the door, a group of old acquaintances showed up at her doorstep.


    These women were part of her clique but their rtionship had be a little constraint over the years after the Su Xin incident. The type of friendship they had was no longer the kind to just drop by without notice which meant they had another purpose.


    The only new thing in her life was Su Xin and it was safe to assume they were here to watch the good show and figure out the situation. The group leaders were naturally Madam Kai and Madam Zhao.


    One had a son who had just confessed that he likes Qie Ranzhe and wanted mummy dearest to help. The other had a daughter who was recently defiled by Su Xin and another daughter that was head over heels for Qie Ranzhe.


    The rest were in the peanut gallery hoping to catch a drama much more interesting than the dog blood series on TV. One can only imagine how this was going to end.


    Madam Qie tried to convince them to go with her to the spa instead but those women found their way inside. Old Lu wasn''t expecting a bunch of women to show up at their doorstep which meant he wasn''t prepared. Thesedies hadn''t visited the Qie Mansion for more than a decade and they barely had any guests throughout the years. This meant he was forced to serve them some tea while the chef prepared some dishes.


    Once the maidservant delivered hot brew and some biscuits, Madam Qie seemed dissatisfied so she asked, "Bring over some of the fudge in the fridge."


    The maidservant who had no idea what happened at the ind vi opened the fridge and took out three containers without the steward''s knowledge. The contents were extremely colourful with cranberry bliss fudge, key lime pie fudge and mint chocte chip fudge among many. Why so much fudge? It was because Qie Xieling wanted to show off his dad''s skills to his music ss so he had Su Xin make it for him.


    Grandma Qie naturally had no idea Su Xin made that for Qie Xieling. She assumed the chef made it which is why she asked. Besides it never crossed her mind that Su Xin could boil water let alone make fudge.


    The maidservant brought over the fudge which these snobbish women bypassed at first iming to be managing their calorie intake.


    "I heard your son brought Su Xin to the Qie mansion?.... Is it true," said one of Madam Kai''sckeys before taking a sip of her tea.


    Without giving Madam Qie enough time to respond, Madam Zhao chimed in. "You truly are stupid. You know what that vixen is capable of so why did you bring him into your home? Tsk, tsk.... now that the Su family is reduced to dust he leeches onto your son after defiling my daughter. So much for being friends."


    Scolded, Madam Qie''s face flushed wanting to kick these bitches out of her house. They weren''t wrong, Su Xin was a ticking time bomb but it was for this exact reason she brought him to her family home. This was the only way she could closely monitor him and prevent him from hurting her son. What right did these women have to question her decision?


    Just as she was about to spit venomous words, Madam Kai interjected. "Don''t disrespect Madam Qie like that," she said reprimanding Madam Zhao before turning to Madam Qie, "I understand what you''re going through. Your son''s reputation is on the line and you needed to keep a close eye on Su Xin."


    Madam Kai ced her hand on Madam Qie''s hand in aforting way and said, "No need to mind them but don''t you think you can provide some type of shield for Qie Ranzhe''s reputation?"


    Her way of thinking was simple. Su Xin''s reputation was as filthy as mud dirtying Qie Ranzhe''s standing in the underworld. Such rumours like henpecked husband and unrequited love were circting affecting Qie Ranzhe''s dominance as the leader of the underworld.


    But if he was to bind himself to another powerful family no one would dare question his authority. Ever since he united the underworld a lot of people silently coveted that position and Su Xin would most likely be Qie Ranzhe''s downfall unless he forms an alliance.


    Madam Qie understood what they were saying but Qie Ranzhe was as stubborn as an ox. No one not even her could force him to do what he didn''t want to do. The only way she could get him interested was striking some type of deal but who would be good enough to marry her son. Well, it seemed she didn''t need to look further because Madam Kai made a suggestion.


    "Our sons both prefer same-sex partners and they have been friends since childhood so how about we arrange a marriage between them. Your son can keep Su Xin as a concubine and make Kai Zi his main wife," said Madam Kai putting forth her agenda.


    While Madam Qie was getting manipted by her group of devious fiends the family of three came from the back garden after a great game of Chinese chess. Qie Ranzhe figured he couldn''t convince Su Xin to do this and that by ordinary means so he decided to strike a deal with him.


    Wen Qinxi stupidly chose Chinese chess confident in his gaming skills.


    So the three of them went into the back garden and yed with Qie Xieling as the referee. If Wen Qinxi won he would get a week off and Qie Xieling would get two sleepovers but they seriously underestimated Qie Ranzhe. He didn''t pick sports because that was Qie Ranzhe''s golden finger but who would have thought his golden finger stretched to board games.


    The three walked into the kitchen with two of them downcast and the third one wearing a radiant smile. Wen Qinxi took out some drinks from the fridge but didn''t notice something was missing. While Wen Qinxi was pouring out some soda for Qie Xieling, Qie Ranzhe got hold of Wen Qinxi''s phone and his face turned a few degrees colder.

 Chapter 339: Fourth World: Lin Lins Great Comeback

    Chapter 339: Fourth World: Lin Lin''s Great Comeback


    There was a message from someone saved as LiMeiMei and Qie Ranzhe naturally knew who it was. Curious, he scrolled through the man''s contacts and realized all those contacts he erased had been retrieved.


    His piercing gaze fell on Su Xin who was leaning against the countertop trying to pinch Qie Xieling''s face. He didn''t want to start a fight in front of Qie Xieling but he wanted to know so he swallowed the rage brewing in his heart and ambled over to him till there was barely any space between them.


    Wen Qinxi threw a side nce at Qie Ranzhe who seemed to have no sense of propriety standing so close in front of their son. He bit his lower lip trying to suppress a bashful smile. The way they were standing close was highly suggestive.


    Qie Ranzhe noticed this and his heart softened but he still had to ask. He made the screen face Su Xin and asked, "You restored all your contacts?"


    Wen Qinxi who had nothing to hide responded, "Not all of them. I deleted any female contacts and useless ones," staring at him in amusement.


    Qie Ranzhe raised a brow and tapped on the screen to show the contact LiMeiMei. Wen Qinxi left her name out on purpose. Firstly, it was because she was great at stealing things and his key to bringing down Kai Zi. Secondly, she prefered skirts over pants which meant she wouldn''t pose any threat to Qie Ranzhe.


    Qie Xieling sensed something was up with the way his dads were standing so close but he had no ns of giving them space. He sucked on his straw curious to see where this was headed.


    "That''s because she''s a lesbian," said Wen Qinxi before stuffing an apple from the crystal bowl on the countertop right into Qie Ranzhe''s mouth.


    "Wait, what''s a lesbian?" asked Qie Xieling his curiosity peeked. Both men stared at him funny but it wasn''t his fault that they chose to have this discussion in front of them.


    "Go ask your nana," said Wen Qinxi who had no idea the olddy was apanying some guests. Qie Xieling was too curious so he got off the barstool running to seek out his grandmother.


    Wen Qinxi did this on purpose. The more he aggravated the olddy the better his chances to move back to the apartment permanently. A smirk appeared on his face imagining what sort of reaction she would have when her shining star asks her such a question.


    Qie Ranzhe felt appeased and that smirk on Su Xin''s face made him want him more. He slid his hand on Su Xin''s waist while lowering his head lying his chin on Su Xin''s shoulder. "Why do you enjoy making me jealous?" said Qie Ranzhe with his eyes closed taking in Su Xin''s sweet scent, "My heart can''t bear it." He proceeded to kiss Su Xin''s neck and not the innocent kind but the lustful passionate kind with one agenda and that is to seduce his lover.


    "Stop. What are you nning to do? Push me down in the kitchen in broad daylight?" said Wen Qinxi feeling his defences crashing down at an exponential rate.


    "Wouldn''t it be more exciting this way? I will lock the doors. So how about it?" suggested Qie Ranzhe peeking inside Su Xin''s t-shirt like a pervert.


    Wen Qinxi was about to push him away when they heard Qie Xieling yelling at the top of his voice. This could only mean that something bad happened. The two rushed over to the living room and found the gluttonous women feasting on Qie Xieling''s fudge.


    "My fudge!.... Nana, Su Xin made it for me and you gave it to your friends?" yelled Qie Xieling wondering why he was this unlucky. First, it was his daddy now his nana too.


    Madam Qie, "...."


    "Oh boy," whispered the steward who had also run over to see what the fuss was all about.


    Madam Qie knew Qie Xieling''s character too well. She was like Qie Ranzhe and herte husband. They especially didn''t like it when people touched their stuff. She wished she could spit out the fudge she ate. But that wasn''t the highlight. It turns out her grand son''s precious fudge was made by Su Xin. Now that was the biggest shocker.


    Wen Qinxi didn''t want Qie Xieling to take things too far so he strode over to his son to carry him out but before he could reach him, Madam Kai dropped a huge bomb stirring up a whole different issue. "Ha!... Funniest joke of the year. The slut is now ying house... what kind of scam are you pulling this time?"


    "Hey,nguage," said Madam Qie while Wen Qinxi covered Qie Xieling''s ears. He swore like a sailor but he would never swear in front of Qie Xieling so what right did this old hag have?


    Qie Ranzhe carried Qie Xieling in one swoop and gave him to the old steward who couldn''t bear the weight. "Keep him inside his room," said Qie Ranzhe in an authoritative tone.


    Qie Xieling naturally wouldn''t concede that easily so he squirmed in the old steward''s arms yelling, "Who do you think you are calling slut, old hag? No amount of stic surgery can preserve that face, mmmm mmm," before his mouth was covered by the steward.


    "Young Master, you are too heavy," said the old man before carrying him away with the help of the bodyguards.


    "Haha!... He even charmed your grandson. Madam Qie surely knows how to run a household," said Madam Zhao mocking Madam Qie. No one saw thating.


    Qie Xieling actually made fun of Madam Kai''s stic face defending Su Xin. Other than Madam Zhao who hadn''t gone under the knife no one in their group dared to speak ill of Su Xin. That Qie Xieling kid knew how to strike where it hurts the most.


    Madam Kai was so affected that she took out a mirror to see what the kid was talking about. She had pumped millions into her face and no one dared to criticize her. In all truthfulness, Madam Kai took it too far with a face stretched tightly from both sides.


    "Is it, is it that bad?" she asked her friends while studying her profile.


    "No, no, no," echoed her friends forgetting the livid Qie Ranzhe towering above them.


    "Get the fuck out!" yelled Qie Ranzhe ready to kick them all out of his house. These women had the balls to insult his wife under his roof. Of course, there would be hell to pay.


    Everyone, "...."


    "If any of you dare talk shit about him ever again I will chop off your tongue and feed it to you... Now fuck off... Still not leaving? Machu throw them out! All of them and don''t you fuckin dare be gentle!" bellowed Qie Ranzhe while pulling Su Xin into his arms.


    These women where from the major families of the underworld. One can only imagine what they will be whispering to their husbands when they get home. Qie Ranzhe actually dared to kick them out treating them like trash.


    Wen Qinxi could only rub Qie Ranzhe''s hand to calm him down. He wanted to give these women a piece of his mind especially Madam Kai for swearing in front of Qie Xieling but Qie Ranzhe beat him to it and judging from his expression this wasn''t the end.

 Chapter 340: Fourth World: Getting Wasted With Your In Law

    Chapter 340: Fourth World: Getting Wasted With Your In Law


    Qie Ranzhe was extremely livid about the amount of disrespect from his mother''s book club that he stormed out of the living room and went to his study doing who knows what. Wen Qinxi initially wanted to follow behind him and cool the man''s jets but Madam Qie suddenly spoke in a croaky voice clearly expressing her emotions. "What changed your mind?"


    This question had Wen Qinxi pause in his tracks staring straight at the woman. His face was riddled with confusion. "Uh?" he asked unable to conceal his vexation.


    Madam Qie tightly clutched the hem of her dress and slowly raised her head to face him. "I am asking you why you decided to be with him now.... didn''t you always run away in the past? So what''s your purpose?" she said in a brittle voice as an inexplicable feeling arose in her heart.


    She never interfered in her son''s affairs in the past. When he came out of the closet, she epted it. Even if she didn''t ept it, it would be pointless because she could never control her son. Growing up Qie Ranzhe was always cold and aloof that she assumed he would stay single for the rest of his life.


    But the day her son met Su Xin everything changed. She liked him but the more they interacted she felt that boy was trouble. Su Xin possessed a hollow heart. The kind of person who had no loyalty but her son was happy so she didn''t say anything. Mostly because they weren''t dating and it seemed Su Xin wasn''t interested in her son. Assuming he would eventually get over it, she took a step back.


    As a result, she witnessed first hand Qie Ranzhe''s ckening heart. She thought Su Xin''s past escapades would be enough to deter Qie Ranzhe and for over a decade it worked. Who would have thought Qie Ranzhe would run to Su Xin like a lovestruck puppy the minute he didn''t make a break for it.


    She honestly thought that Qie Ranzhe was just messing around with Su Xin and keeping him around for Qie Xieling but the truth was that he was keeping Su Xin around for himself. That look in his eyes while defending Su Xin exposed his feelings. It''s safe to say Su Xin has her son wrapped around his pinky finger.


    The obsession in his eyes was as clear as day but that wasn''t the biggest shocker. It was Su Xin who gave her the shock of a lifetime. This man obviously felt something for Qie Ranzhe so what was up with all that running? Was it like a life''s journey to enlightenment or something? Sleep around with multiple people thene back after a moment of epiphany? She couldn''t understand it so she asked.


    "What do you really want from him. Come here... sit. Let''s talk this out," she said as Old Lu brought in a hard strong baijiu and poured it out for the both of them. This was entirely on purpose, a means to get the truth out of Su Xin.


    Unlike Su Xin, Madam Qie was a veteran when it came to liquor and she would surelyst longer than Su Xin. "Drink it," she said as Old Lu handed a shot ss to the man.


    Wen Qinxi didn''t know where this was heading but heplied. This wasn''t the first time he had drunk with an olderdy. When he came of age, his mother tricked him into drinking together. She said she wanted someone to apany her drinking but in truth she just wanted someone to reminisce with her about herte husband.


    The drinking party of two ended miserably as it turned into drunken cries. Wen Danzhe walked in only to find his mother and brother in tears embracing each other while calling out their father''s name. Words like ''you bastard Wen Tao why did you leave me with these two brats'' were uttered by Mama Wen. That was thest time Mama Wen drank in front of her kids.


    This time he would be drinking with his supposed mother inw. He didn''t need a fortune teller to tell him how this would end. But since she wanted to drink then bring it on.


    Wen Qinxi felt the astringent liquid burn his throat while cing the shot ss on the tray. With a grimace on his face, he finally answered the question. "I love him and... I want to stay with him," he confessed earning him a look of scrutiny from Madam Qie.


    The woman drank a shot with her piercing gaze fixed on Su Xin. She drew in a breath of cold air and mmed the ss on the table. "You think I was fuckin born yesterday?... Such a fuckin liar," she said as Old Lu refilled their sses once more. He had a bad feeling that this was going to end in tears but the fierce gaze from Madam Qie stopped him from saying anything.


    Wen Qinxi took two more shots unwilling to defend himself. What was the point? This woman wouldn''t believe him anyway. ''This is going to end badly boss,'' whispered the system that hadn''t shown its face in a long time.


    ''What am I supposed to do? Refuse her? She will make my life a living hell,'' replied Wen Qinxi with a fake smile directed at Madam Qie.


    ''Buy her an expensive handbag or something. I am certain she will hug your thigh and call you Xifu. Trust me,'' said the system that was just here to watch the good show, "better yet, a pink diamond. Trust me women like stuff like that."


    Wen Qinxi snorted as his cheeks turned numb. He decided to mute the distractive system.


    "I would only fuckin believe that when pigs fly..... do you, do you see a fuc-fuckin piggy pping around," said Madam Qie with the liquor already getting into her head.


    Wen Qinxi wasn''t fairing any better either. Give him beer or wine, he can handle it. Give him spirits and everything goes to shit. "Don''t worry, I will... I will book flights for a drift of pigs and... and ta-da pigs will be flying. Then, then you will believe me," said Wen Qinxi before downing one more shot.


    Old Lu could see the way things were headed weren''t right so he refused to be an aplice holding on to that bottle. "Lu, pour me some more liquor! Can''t you see I am, I am drinking with my daughter inw," she said but the steward didn''t move, "*hiss*, so stingy?"


    With his IQ dropping at an rming rate, Wen Qinxi took the bottle from the old man and poured out some more before staggering a little handing it over to his mother inw. "Here, mother. I will take care of it for you," he said with a radiant smile.


    At that moment Qie Xieling was standing at the top of the stairs nning on going downstairs to have his dad coax him. With his foot on the first step he witnessed Nana patting his dad saying, "Xin-er, you might be a terrible person but this, this is good. You, you make a great bartender."


    "Oh God, nana is drunk," murmured Qie Xieling before turning around in slow steps so as not to be noticed. When nana gets wasted Qie Xieling is always the victim.


    She doesn''t act crazy, it''s just that she raffles his hair a lot and pinches his cheeks calling him my little dumpling. Just the thought of it send goosebumps all over his body. Just like that, the teenager vanished without a trace.


    "It''s, it''s not good to, to eat... without drinking. Ho-how about we drink," she stammered mixing up her words.


    Old Lu facepalmed and corrected her, "Madam, don''t you mean it''s not good to drink without eating?"

 Chapter 341: Fourth World: When Nana Gets Drunk

    Chapter 341: Fourth World: When Nana Gets Drunk


    "Lu Lu, Lu Lu you are such a party pooper. Wah!.... let me have some of this," she said reaching over for whatever was remaining of the stolen bounty. She stuffed an entire piece of the cranberry bliss fudge into her mouth making her cheeks bulge.


    The gorgeous woman resembled a cute hamster making it unbearable for both the steward and Wen Qinxi to hold theirughter.


    Old Lu covered his mouth to conceal a smile but Wen Qinxi openly snickered.


    "Pfft...," snickered Wen Qinxi fending off the urge to poke those bulging cheeks.


    "Mmmmm. Did, did you really make this? Wah! You should have seen how pissed of Xieling was. That deadly stare made him.... it made him lo-look like, look like a tiny psycho," she exined making a hand gesture for something small.


    Wen Qinxi shook his head before saying, "Lin Lin loves his fudge. If he could he would have stabbed those women''s fingers," with thest part said in a whisper as though afraid of being overheard by Qie Xieling.


    "Come, I will cook for you so, so you don''t steal Lin Lin''s fudge in the, in, in the future," said the drunk Wen Qinxi staggering out of his seat.


    "Uh, I want, I want braised pork. Woo hoo, let''s go," said the drunk Madam Qie tossing herdy etiquette out of the window.


    Old Lu didn''t think drunk cooking would end well. Best case scenario, they cook poison. Worst case scenario, they fuckin burn down the entire kitchen. Either way, it was definitely going to end badly. He left a maid to watch them and ran off to seek Qie Ranzhe''s help. His wife and mother were about to burn down the house.


    To vent his anger Qie Ranzhe was busy punishing the husbands for the wives'' crimes by screwing with their shares. When the steward walked in and informed him of what was happening downstairs it was then that he remembered his husband ditched him. He had been wondering what Su Xin was up to when the man was supposed to be in here coaxing him. Only to find out his man was getting drunk with his mother.


    He turned to the surveince footage in the kitchen only to find the two giggling while cutting things. From the live footage, one could clearly see how nervous the maid was. His lip twitched feeling a tinge in his chest. It seemed he now had a second person to fight with for Su Xin''s attention. "Let them bond, just make sure they don''t burn the house down," he said zooming in on Su Xin.


    Old Lu couldn''t believe it but what else could he do? The boss had spoken. He closed the door behind him shaking his head. While walking down the corridor, he bumped into Machu who was heading to Qie Ranzhe''s study.


    Seeing the old man''s troubled face, he asked, "What''s got you muddled?" with his hands in his pockets. Old Lu exined the situation seekingfort but didn''t expect Machu to dart downstairs.


    "Where are you going?" asked the old steward with a perplexed look.


    "Security office... to watch a good show," replied Machu without stopping. Drunk inws. That would be an interesting show to watch. Too bad he didn''t have time to get popcorn.


    It was most definitely a good show because the two protagonists of the movie Drunk inws didn''t disappoint. There wasn''t any need for corn flour in making braised pork but somehow they found it and ended up smearing it on Su Xin''s face iming it was a beauty treatment good for the skin.


    From a DIY face mask to arguing over how Su Xin made braised pork they did it all. Even though Madam Qie didn''t know how to cook and would most likely brew poison if she tries, she kept trying to add things in that wok.


    Only the heavens know how Wen Qinxi managed toe up with a decent meal after all that. With a face stered with king corn flour, Wen Qinxi sat on the floor alongside Madam Qie and the two opened up a bottle of red wine to apany their half-assed braise pork. The steward had confiscated their bottle of baijiu leaving them with no other choice.


    "Mmm, not bad, not bad," said Madam Qie eating like a little piggy.


    Wen Qinxi chuckled lightly while taking a sip of his wine. "I am not bad either," he said with his head tilted to the side, "I will treat your son with the utmost respect... How about this? If I fuck up one more time I permit you to kill me?"


    Madam Qie wiped away the sticky sauce on her mouth using the back of her hand with her gaze locked on Su Xin. She was waisted but she could tell he was being sincere. She didn''t answer his question but broke intoughter instead with her body tilting to the other side. Madam Qieughed herself to tears pointing at his face.


    "What?" asked the drunk Wen Qinxi while clumsily wiping his face making the dried cornflour paste ke like dandruff.


    "Hahahaha...," sheughed unrestrainedly while poking his face finding the king process amusing.


    Wen Qinxi was tired of beingughed at for looking like a clown so he stood up to wash his face on the sink faucet. After washing it all off, Madam Qie dragged him out of the kitchen saying, "Let''s go. I have some face cream that would make you pretty... oops Hahahaha," she giggled recalling her inw was a man, "*hup*, I mean handsome."


    "Woohoo, let''s go make me handsome!"


    The two drunkards walked up the stairs with the steward following behind just in case they tumbled to the floor. Madam Qie led the way yammering on about how great her face cream was and so forth. She was so immersed in her advertisement of the world''s greatest face cream that she didn''t notice her inw was snatched away.


    As soon as Wen Qinxi passed the study door, it was suddenly flung open before he was pulled in.


    Old Lu, "..."


    "I promise you wil-, huh?" said Madam Qie turning around only to find out that Su Xin had vanished into thin air. She shrugged her shoulders and carried on walking while calling out, "Lin Lin!"


    At the call of his name, Qie Xieling ran to switch off the light before jumping into bed without changing his clothes. Unfortunately for him, feigning sleep wasn''t going to save him. He was dragged out of bed by his feet like in a horror film. The poor boy clutched the bed sheets tightly but he was no match for the drunk nana.


    While Qie Xieling was having his cheeks pinched by the nana from hell, Machu snuck into the kitchen with one goal in mind. His footsteps paused cursing, "Shit!" noticing the state those two left the kitchen. It was as though a category five storm hit the kitchen only but left the rest of the house intact.


    He silently walked over to the cooker and grabbed the wok before vanishing through the back door like a thief. The food god had been stingytely pressuring him to use this kind of means.

 Chapter 342: Fourth World: Crimes Committed When Drunk

    Chapter 342: Fourth World: Crimes Committed When Drunk


    Wen Qinxi is not one to invest in his looks but to please his mother inw he followed behind curious to see this world-renowned face cream. It''s just that he didn''t expect to be dragged away in the very next second. Because he was tipsy, Wen Qinxi had no resistance at all. He didn''t even have enough time to yelp out in surprise.


    In a matter of seconds, he was pressed against the study door having a feverish make out session. Qie Ranzhe seemed to express his grievances in that one kiss. The drunk Wen Qinxi could barely stand straight as Qie Ranzhe''s unruly hands greedily caressed his body.


    The sweet taste of red wine in Su Xin''s mouth made this kiss especially intoxicating. His moist tongue slithered inside Su Xin''s mouth tasting every inch of him. The two eagerly touched each other as sweet kissing sounds filled the room. Qie Ranzhe only let him go after venting out all his frustrations.


    The two panted heavily with Qie Ranzhe leaning down on Su Xin''s shoulder. "Baby, you didn''te to coax me. Why?" asked Qie Ranzhe with his warm breath brushing against Wen Qinxi''s neck. A pleasurable sensation spread through Wen Qinxi''s body making him yearn for more.


    He embraced Qie Ranzhe while enjoying the touch of his man''s lips on his neck. "I am here now, aren''t I?" replied Wen Qinxi with his eyes closed.


    Qie Ranzhe seemed dissatisfied with his lover''s response so he led him to the desk and made the man sit on hisp. If Wen Qinxi was sober he would most definitely protest but his drunken confidence made him rub against Qie Ranzhe''s crotch while seeking afortable position.


    "Are you done?" asked Qie Ranzhe after being rubbed against by Su Xin''s perky ass. This man seemed to have acquired some Dutch courage willingly igniting a zing fire with no regard to the repercussions, not that he wasining.


    Wen Qinxi found it amusing and grind against the man''s crotch a couple of times while chuckling. Qie Ranzhe wrapped his arms around Su Xin''s waist and drew him closer before saying, "Such a bad boy. Daddy is going to spank you tonight." He proceeded to tease Su Xin''s flushed neck once more.


    It didn''t take long for a certain member to stand at attention poking at Wen Qinxi''s ass. Feeling a sense of crisis, Wen Qinxi stopped wiggling around but of course, it would be of no use.


    "What were you doing?" asked Wen Qinxi staring at theptop screen. This was a clever means to distract Qie Ranzhe otherwise he would be screwed senseless tonight. Qie Ranzhe stopped teasing him resting his chin on Su Xin''s shoulder.


    "I am taking revenge on your behalf. I don''t like it when people offend you so I had to teach them all a lesson," said Qie Ranzhe exining his reasoning, "You like it?"


    Wen Qinxi wasn''t surprised Qie Ranzhe would go this far. ording to Qie Ranzhe''s character, this was only the beginning which kind of got him worried. To him, it seemed Qie Ranzhe was offending more people at a faster rate than in the game files. This meant he would have to act fast and stop that little ass Kai Zi from selling out Qie Ranzhe.


    Kai Zi was Qie Ranzhe''s supposed best friend but because of unrequited love, he was lured into the dark side causing Qie Ranzhe''s downfall.


    "Did you have to make a mountain out of a molehill and make so many enemies?" asked Wen Qinxi feeling like he had very little time to rx now. His husband was busy sshing dirty water like it was nothing. If those families decide to join arms and ruin Qie Ranzhe the very next day they would automatically lose this world.


    Qie Ranzhe seemed the least bit unfazed answering, "I did it for you which makes it worth it," with his burning gaze fixed on Su Xin''s side profile while massaging the man''s waist like a professional.


    "Don''t you think I deserve a reward? I mean I," said Qie Ranzhe kissing the back of Su Xin''s neck, "did this for you. How about a little reward?"


    Wen Qinxi was too buzzed to service his man so he suggested. "How about I use your 3D printer to make my butt impression for your office. When you miss me you can just look at it." He was trying to divert Qie Ranzhe''s attention and for a moment it seemed to work.


    "Hahahaha.... like how people make a photocopy of their butt with the copy machine? Hahaha.... that''s fuckin funny," said Qie Ranzhe finding it amusing. He couldn''t fathom what goes on in Su Xin''s brain.


    "Yes, just like that," said Wen Qinxi recalling the office year-end party at GameX where people got so wasted and did some pretty crazy shit. One such thing was people lining up to use the photocopy machine to make cheek copies. Of course, this nerd didn''t participate but he saw everything through the security footage. Qie Ranzhe might find it hrious now but when he suddenly showed up at GameX that day and caught the rave in the act, tons of people including the photocopying machine wereid off.


    Wen Qinxi opened the operating software for the 3D printer forgetting he and his aplice finished the fment. Qie Ranzhe noticed how skilled Su Xin was with the software and had a sudden realization. Sensing that he might have sold himself out, Wen Qinxi changed his mind and said, "How about we do something else fun?"


    It was already toote. Qie Ranzhe now knew that Su Xin screwed with his printer at the ind vi but the drunk Su Xin kept up with the facade. To coax his husband and make him forget about the printer incident, Wen Qinxi got off Qie Ranzhe''sp and knelt in front of him.


    Qie Ranzhe naturally understood what was happening but he couldn''t resist teasing Su Xin. "Baby, what are you doing? I still want your butt impression so how about we print it out fir-?"


    "Ssshhh," said Wen Qinxi unzipping the man''s pants, "this will be much more fun I promise."


    Qie Ranzhe found that he couldn''t think straight the very next second with his stiff cock sucked into a warm ce. As promised, it was indeed much more fun than printing out a 3D butt. It''s just that the nerd felt the consequences ofst night''s escapades as soon as he opened his eyes.


    It seemed the full-blown effects of the red wine were dyedst night so everything after sending Qie Ranzhe to seven heaven was a blur.


    He wasn''t certain but he seemed to have taken off his clothes in Qie Ranzhe''s bedroom iming he was so hot. Not only that but he ran around all over the ce and made Qie Ranzhe chase him. He also called Qie Ranzhe a dirty dirty slut while smacking his ass.


    "Fuck!" swore Wen Qinxi abruptly sitting up straight in the bed. He wanted to beg Qie Ranzhe for forgiveness as quickly as possible otherwise the consequences will be much more severe. As soon as he raised his head Wen Qinxi felt a dull throbbing pain in his temples a.k.a hangover.

 Chapter 343: Fourth World: Mrs Qie

    Chapter 343: Fourth World: Mrs Qie


    Wen Qinxi wanted toy back down for the rest of the day but he couldn''t. He had to find Qie Ranzhe as soon as possible so he forced himself to wash up and go downstairs. Ten minutester three people resembling the walking dead were seated at the dining table eating breakfast.


    Zombie number one: Madam Qie sitting on the left while wearing sunsses indoors. Most likely hiding her panda eyes from the rest of the world. Crimesmitted when drunk? Pinched her grand son''s cheeks till they were pink. Not only that but she drunk text the bitches from her book club cursing them out. None of them were spared especially Madam Kai''s stic face.


    Zombie number two: Qie Xieling sitting as far away as possible from his nana. Didn''t drink but barely slept trying to stop nana from cursing out the entire city and using his violin as a hummer. How about his cheeks? As red as cherries and he was covering them with an ice pack while eating breakfast. He is most definitely angry at nana.


    Zombie number three: Wen Qinxi also known as Su Xin. Crimesmitted when drunk? Too many to count. Not only did he call his husband names and run around naked but he also bit Qie Ranzhe like a damn husky though he has zero memory of it. He also got found out for using the 3D printer. One can imagine what sort of punishment awaits him tonight.


    As expected, Qie Ranzhe was definitely holding a grudge. Wen Qinxi''s cellphone let out a ding sound receiving the following message.


    DaddyRan: PHOTO


    DaddyRan: Evidence of your crimest night. Come to my office around lunchtime to receive punishment.


    "Fudge!" yelled Wen Qinxi grasping the other three people''s attention. The photo Qie Ranzhe sent was taken this morning. It was a bite mark on the man''s shoulder. From the message, it''s safe to assume hemitted the crime.


    HandosomeXi: QAQ


    "Xin-er, stop talking so loud. I am having a splitting headache," murmured Madam Qie while directly dropping her head on the table. The image of the fierce goddess was nowhere to be found today. Who could me her when they drank like fish the previous night.


    "Oh, I am sorry," replied Wen Qinxi before standing up to go back to bed.


    "Serves you right. Nana, you were like a little beastst night. Look at my eyes. Your grandson barely slept and it''s all your fault... Wait dad, where are you going? Nana ate my fudge and I need a recement for tonight''s final rehearsal," said Qie Xieling when he saw Su Xin heading for the door.


    Wen Qinxi turned to drag his feet to the kitchen saying, "me it all on your nana. Let''s go make you some fudge.''


    Madam Qie didn''t even have the strength to refute so she simply waved her hand gesturing for them to leave her alone. Wen Qinxi surely experienced a thing all parents can rte to. Making snacks for an entire ss when they are as tired as fuck. Qie Xieling could only cross his fingers that the fudge doesn''te out looking as horrible as his dad right now.


    As soon as Wen Qinxi was done with the fudge making session he received a message from LiMeiMei2. Because of yesterday''s drama, he forgot to respond.


    LiMeiMei2: Gege you need my fuckin help but you cklisted my main ount. WTF


    Wen Qinxi couldn''t make heads or tails of it all. ''When the fuck did I cklist her?'' he thought with a scowl on his face. This could only be the work of a certain someone who even gets jealous over his own fingers when they''re inside Su Xin''s chrysanthemum.


    HandsomeXi: Tha fuck?? It wasn''t me.


    LiMeiMei2: I left a juicy peach for you so get the fuck here right now before I lose my shit.


    HandsomeXi: ??


    Wen Qinxi seriously began to question who exactly was the team leader here. Su Xin had a group of bandits he used to do his dirty work with and it was exactly their association withSu Xin that left them unemployed. Now that he needed such discrete people to take down Kai Zi he naturally asked them to do the job with him.


    He had no choice but to ept the meeting despite being tired. Qie Ranzhe seemed to be offending his enemies earlier than expected which meant Kai Zi''s ckening was right around the corner. This meant he had to speed up his ns.


    Without further dy, he left the Qie Mansion in a hurry. To prevent a repeat of their fightst time, he messaged Qie Ranzhe letting him know.


    HandsomeXi: LOCATION


    HandsomeXi: Meeting Li Meimei


    But Qie Ranzhe didn''t respond. It''s safe to assume he wasn''t too happy about it. Thinking he can exin things in the afternoon, Wen Qinxi locked his phone and exited the car entering a coffee shop next to Qie Ranzhe''s office building. As soon as he walked in he noticed a pretty girl with jet ck hair flirting with the waitress. That could only be Li Meimei the beautiful woman with thieving in her DNA. She has an inborn talent to open anything and everything. Beside her was a short man with blonde hair and pink highlights. Su Xin only knew him as Casio a.k.a the driver. If one wanted to get away aftermitting a crime you only had to call Casio. Last but not least was the tall guy fighting it out with a Rubik''s cube. His name Ting-ge or the handyman. He can shoot anything at any target without missing. Of course, this meant Wen Qinxi would pick up the role of the IT guy.


    As soon as they caught sight of him, Li Meimei couldn''t help but call out, "Mrs Qie, over here," waving him over.


    "Who are you calling Mrs? He''s a fuckin man for heaven''s sake," said Casio in a low whisper but Li Meimei didn''t appreciate it.


    "You dare scold your elder?" pulling at his ear, "Now call Mei-Jie and I will let you go."


    The poor waitress took the opportunity to run away otherwise she would get eaten by this minx.


    "Aiyo... Ai... it fuckin hurts Mei-jie," yelled Casio feeling like his ear was going to get ripped off.


    Wen Qinxi took off his sunsses and asked, "How about we order some coffee otherwise I will doze off right here?"


    "We were waiting for you Xin-ge. This coffee is too fuckin expensive and you know how broke we are," exined Ting-ge putting down the stupid Rubik''s cube that refused to yield. If they weren''t in a public ce, he would have blown it to bits.


    As soon as he said that, their cellphones dinged at the same time. It seemed they had received notifications from the bank about a recent money transfer. "Now don''t you dare say your Gege doesn''t take care of you," he said while being gawked at by the recipients who looked like they had won the lottery.


    "Gege, did you fuckin rob a bank," asked a thunderstruck Li Meimei


    While Wen Qinxi was busy ying Santa us, the gift that keeps on giving, someone was closely watching him across the street. It was easy to guess who that person was working for.

 Chapter 344: Fourth World: Xin-ge Is Super Cool

    Chapter 344: Fourth World: Xin-ge Is Super Cool


    While waiting for their coffee, Li Meimei couldn''t stand the sight of Su Xin''s face that resembled an overworked single mum so she tapped his foot under the table and get his attention. "Gege, what happened to you?" she asked with both her elbows on the table with her hand propping up her face, "Is young master Qie cing you on overtime?"


    Wen Qinxi raised his head staring at this girl who had no filter. Li Meimei was the kind of girl who would blurt out whateveres to mind. No wonder she doesn''t stay in rtionships for long. ording to the game files, she has been dumped several times for being too frank.


    "No, drank too muchst night," replied Wen Qinxi while tapping the table with his index finger.


    Casio ced his elbows t on the table and leaned in closer to whisper a question. At least he had a strong sense of propriety and could only ask in a whisper. "Is he threatening you or did he pay you to stay by his side," he asked genuinely concerned. Su Xin had run away countless times and lost his backing in the process.


    It only made sense that Qie Ranzhe was either threatening him or paid him to stay. The most probable reason would be because he had been paid which exins why he paid them two million yuan each.


    Like she had discovered some sort of secret Li Meimei shoved Casio''s elbows away and grabbed both of Su Xin''s cheeks ck-jawed. "Xin-ge, don''t tell me? Is that why you are tossing dor bills like your at a strip club?"


    Wen Qinxi''s cheeks were pressing down on either said making his lips protrude. This undoubtedly made his lip hickey more visible. "Argh... let go of me first," he said trying to remove those ice-cold hands from his poor cheeks.


    Li Meimei wanted to interrogate him further but the waitress from before came back with their order deviating her attention. She sat back down and swept her hair back like a model at a shy photo shoot and said, "Jiejie, how about you give it a try with me. I promise you, I will make you feel good."


    Wen Qinxi''s brow raised praising her internally for her thick skin. Her skin was so thick that she stretched out her hand to hold the waitress'' waist. Because the waitress was busy cing the beverages on the table with a stiff smile, she didn''t notice Li Meimei''s grabby hand.


    Pa!


    A loud smack followed by Li Meimei''s yelp grasped everyone''s attention. "Behave," said Ting-ge who somehow noticed Li Meimei''s behaviour despite having his head lowered still fiddling with that Rubik''s cube.


    "Dage! Look my hand is turning red. Did you have to smack me?" Having been granted amnesty, the waitress scurried away as her life depended on it.


    Ting-ge didn''t bother raising his head saying, "You want to get sued again for harassment? Your IQ takes a nosedive when you see a skirt so yes, dage will smack you to retrieve your IQ."


    Li Meimei snorted coldly recalling the scam artist. "That girl led me on only to turn around and sue me. Damn it. I lost three hundred thousand yuan and we didn''t even get to kiss." That case wasn''t entirely Li Meimei''s fault. She was misled into thinking the girl liked her only to find out after paying the settlement that it was a n orchestrated by the girl and her boyfriend.


    "Didn''t dage and I get revenge for you. Youst three hundred thousand yuan but they lost a whole lot more. What? Aren''t you satisfied still?" asked Casio before taking a sip of his icedtte.


    A creepy smile appeared on her face recalling the small pickled jar with the man''s family jewels and pogo stick. As for the pretty young miss? Casio stole the girl''s car one day after she bought it at the car dealership. When the car was found two dayster, it was standing on bricks stripped of all its parts including the engine. It was an exoskeleton with offensive grafty written on it. Because she didn''t have insurance, it meant she still had to pay instalments on a car that was basically a car skeleton for six years.


    Wen Qinxi felt goosebumps all over his body recalling the pickled jar from the game files. ''Remind me never to offend Ting-ge. So ruthless,'' said Wen Qinxi sipping on his frappino.


    ''He''s probably the least of your worries,'' said the system that had noticed someone snapping pictures nearby.


    Wen Qinxi had no time to digest the system''s words because Ting-ge decided to p Rubik''s cube like a deranged psycho. The skyscraper of a man had most likely lost his patients. He just wanted the colours to match up but it was simply impossible.


    "Give it to me and drink your coffee," said Wen Qinxi motioning with his fingers to Ting-ge. The man passed it over and obediently drank his coffee.


    Wen Qinxi started to solve the problem while exining the purpose of this meeting. His pale slender fingers fiddled with the Rubik''s cube in such a graceful and nimble fashion that made it difficult for one to look away. "It''s a simple game of algorithm and rotation of patterns. It''s tricky at first but once you get the hang of it it bes rtively simple..... and this is how we are going to take down the Kai family," he said before tossing the solved Rubik''s cube in Ting-ge''s direction.


    "Wah!! Gege that''s so fuckin cool. How did you?" asked a mindblown Li Meimei.


    Casio took the Rubik''s cube from Ting-ge and studied it with awe on his face. It seemed in the five years they hadn''t seen Su Xin he learnt a few new tricks.


    "What did the Kai family do to offend this great god?" asked Ting-ge eyeing Su Xin with some suspicion. The Su family was done for yet he shows up with deep pockets and willingly staying with the man he loathed for over a decade.


    "Not the Kai family but Kai Zi," responded Wen Qinxi before sucking on his straw with an innocent expression.


    "Wait, wait, wait, I don''t care what he did. What I am more concerned with is how do you n on doing that? Gege, I am sorry to say butpared to that family you are an ant inparison plus... the Su family is how do I say this?"


    "Done for, terminated, annihte-," said Casio taking a snap of the solved Rubik''s cube before uploading the picture on Weibo with the caption ''Xin-ge is freaking awesome'' #nerd.


    "Yes, annihted. Gege you have zero backing and everyone knows Kai Zi and Qie Ranzhe are two peas in a pod," carried on Li Meimei curious to know what sort of n Su Xin has to bring down such a big family.


    "Who do you think brought down the Su family? Don''t underestimate me," he said before shaking the venti sized stic cup, "I will double the amount I gave you just now once the job is done."


    "You!.... hahaha, no, no you must be fucking pulling my leg," said Li Meimeiughing herself to death. This sudden turn of events was truly unexpected.


    Wen Qinxi didn''t pay attention to their reaction calling a nearby waiter. He asked for an americano and the bill before turning back to his bbergasted teammates.


    "Are you in?" he asked seriously while checking the time on his phone. The three hurriedly agreed as the waiter brought by a ck folder and a grande americano. "We''ll met at the usual ce," said Wen Qinxi as he stood up to leave, "Oh and keep her away from the waitress."

 Chapter 345: Fourth World: Suggestive Photos

    Chapter 345: Fourth World: Suggestive Photos


    Thest statement was said to the two men while nodding at the fearful waitress who was now hiding behind the counter. "Hey!..." called out Li Meimei but Su Xin didn''t look back. She then turned to stare at the two men asking, "Was I that bad? Should I apologize?"


    Ting-ge nodded his head but Casio shook his head out of fear that his ear will get pulled again. "Which of you is telling the truth?" Casio immediately covered his ear in defence selling himself out.


    While Li Meimei was offering her sincere earnest apology to the terrified waitress, Wen Qinxi was entering ck Bloods headquarters with a cup of coffee for his lofty husband. As soon as he emerged from the rotating ss door, he was met by Machu''s glistening face. It seemed he had been waiting for him at the entrance for a very long time.


    "Food god, you took your sweet precious time," he said leading him to the elevator, "because of yourte arrival, you gave others the opportunity to nder you."


    Wen Qinxi nced in Machu''s direction as the elevator doors shut. "What are you talking about?" he asked with a raised brow.


    Machu looked at him as though searching for something before looking away with a hint of disappointment."Tsk, tsk... you didn''t even bring a bento with you? You just rocked up empty-handed."


    Wen Qinxi raised the cup of coffee with a ''what the fuck is this then'' expression but he didn''t probe further because the elevator doors opened once they reached the executive floor. He soon understood what Machu meant when he saw Qie Ranzhe''s look of disappointment.


    The man looked him up and down even behind him as though looking for something. "Forget it, boss, I guess you will be eating him for lunch," said Machu before shutting the door giving them some space.


    Qie Ranzhe lowered his head pretending to be seriously looking over some documents. He was the one who got bitst night and smacked but his lover didn''t make him a delicious meal to make up for it. His train of thought was disrupted when Su Xin ced a cup of coffee on the table before walking away to the nearby couch.


    "This is?" asked Qie Ranzhe finally willing to talk.


    "For you," said Wen Qinxi leisurely tossing his body on the couch. He took out his phone and said, "I also ordered some lunch. If I didn''t have to make Lin Lin a new batch of fudge, I would have made you something." Thest line was said while ncing over at Qie Ranzhe who was staring at him with an unreadable expression.


    "What''s wrong?" asked Wen Qinxi sitting up straight. He was here for punishment but it seemed he hadmitted another offence. Qie Ranzhe strode over with the cup of coffee in one hand and a stake of papers in the other. He tossed the papers on the coffee table before sitting down at the opposite end. The papers separated in Wen Qinxi''s full view. In fact, they weren''t papers but printed pictures from a few minutes ago.


    A picture can be interpreted a thousand ways but the angle at which there were taken was highly suggestive. Whoever took these pictures had only one thing in mind. Sow discord and break them up. Hence the beginning of the game show ''What it looks like'' vs ''What actually happened''.


    Image number one


    What it looks like: Li Meimei was gazing at him lovingly with her hands cutely propping her head.


    What actually happened: Li Meimei was asking if the crime boss was working him overtime in bed.


    Image number two


    What it looks like: Toes touching under the table like teenagers having a secret affair. They can''t touch each other in public and could only do it in secret.


    What actually happened: He was kicked under the table by Li Meimei to get his attention.


    Image number three


    What it looks like: Li Meimei was going to kiss him pressing his cheeks lovingly.


    What actually happened: Li Meimei was squishing his face while asking if he was trading his body with the overbearing crime boss for money.


    There were plenty more of such suggestive imagery but the icing on the cake was the lump sum of money he transferred to her. This would have undoubtedly sealed any man''s fate in divorce court with their wife awarded all assets and arge amount of alimony. Wen Qinxi slumped on the couch shaking his head in astonishment.


    Qie Ranzhe took a sip of his coffee studying his man''s handsome face. He wanted to say something but the delicious hot beverage caught him by surprise. He still couldn''t fathom how this man knew his preferences and he wanted to ask him but this wasn''t the right time.


    Back to the issue at hand. He also had men follow Su Xin but their report wasn''t as suggestive as these images which meant Kai Zi''s man manipted angles to provide a deceptive picture. How can Qie Ranzhe not see-through Kai Zi''s n?


    "What do you want me to say? It''s not what it looks like?" asked Wen Qinxi vowing to tear whoever did this to pieces.


    "You don''t have to exin. I already know what''s going on," he produced three bank statements and asked, "What I don''t get is why you are paying these three idiots... What are you up to?"


    Wen Qinxi felt the ice shards forming on his heart melt away. It seemed he hadn''t been misunderstood at all. He had instead had his n exposed earlier than expected. He bit his lower lip before leaning forward staring straight into Qie Ranzhe''s eyes. "How do you know that nothing is really going on between me and Li Meimei?"


    A smirk appeared on the lips moist from the coffee as Qie Ranzhe leaned in closer stopping only when their noses were about to touch. "Because you love me but that doesn''t mean I am not jealous," said Qie Ranzhe before sliding his hand at the back of Su Xin''s neck nting a domineering kiss as thoughying im.


    Just like how NASA nted a g on the moon after the moonnding toy im Qie Ranzhe nted a prominent lip hickey on his lover to let the entire world know who he belongs to.


    Wen Qinxi drew in a breath of cold air hissing in pain. "Ran-ge, why can''t you just put a ring on my finger andy im instead of biting me like a little puppy,"ined Wen Qinxi walking over to the bathroom to look in the mirror. The previous lip hickey had almost disappeared only to get marked again.


    "That''s not a bad idea. Then how about we get married and broadcast it live so everyone can see," he said before taking another sip of his coffee. He was sitting leisurely on the couch like this entire incident had nothing to do with him.


    Qie Ranzhe''s gaze was fixed on Su Xin finding the bitter coffee especially sweet. Maybe that''s what being in love feels like but this crime boss was too silly to notice that he had fallen hard.


    "I will buy you a ring soon but the lip hickey will do for n-," he said but he didn''t get to finish his statement because of a knock on the door. He wanted to chase the person away but Zhao Huangzhi stormed in without waiting for his response.


    "Ran-ge, Su Xin is cheating on you," she said breathing heavily like she ran all the way here.


    Qie Ranzhe, "...."


    Wen Qinxi, "...."

 Chapter 346: Fourth World: Zhao Huangzhis Strip Tease?

    Chapter 346: Fourth World: Zhao Huangzhi''s Strip Tease?


    Wen Qinxi imagined an old master from ancient times stroking his meter long white beard saying, "He who digs a pit for others... falls in himself," in a sluggish yet schrly manner. He was still standing in the bathroom so the green tea bitch had no idea the subject of her nderous usation could hear everything.


    Qie Ranzhe stood up in a calm and collected manner seemingly unfazed by her revtion. Zhao Huangzhi didn''t see anything wrong with this reaction. This is in fact how Qie Ranzhe reacted the other day when she led him to the hotel to catch Su Xin and Zhao Hua in bed. His calm demeanour expressed his attitude towards Su Xin.


    If he had reacted with either anger or anxiety then she did be worried that he had fallen for Su Xin. So this response was indeed in her favour. She hung her head low biting her lower lip as though hesitating to proceed.


    When she met Qie Ranzhe for the first time it was like a perfect cherry blossom moment taken straight from a romantic blockbuster. The moment those dark phoenix eyes met her gaze she felt her face heating up with her palms turning mmy in an instant. She knew this was the man for her from the very beginning.


    A tough handsome man, cold and aloof on the outside but mushy on the inside just like butterscotch candy. The type of man who would be hard to attain but once you have him he would be the loyal doting kind making her the subject of every woman''s envy.


    She began to woo him despite having been rejected from the start. Zhao Huangzhi wasn''t deterred in the slightest slowly infiltrating their lives when the father and son pair were at the apartment. Her heart was crushed when she found out that he was married but seeing that she hadn''t seen any signs of a woman in that apartment she investigated further.


    But her investigation yielded unexpected results. Not only was Qie Ranzhe''s estranged spouse a man and the one who birthed Qie Xieling but he was also a womanizer with a famous reputation. Despite all this, Qie Ranzhe didn''t take the next step like any regr estranged couple. Thinking she could help nudge these two in the right direction she introduced her annoying little sister to Su Xin.


    Little miss perfect, Zhao Hua was praised by everyone for her intellectual intelligence and trendsetter skills. But she was a major facecon which would undoubtedly be her downfall. Zhao Huangzhi introduced the handsome Su Xin to Zhao Hua and expected the two to hit it off. All she had to do was show Zhao Hua a picture of him and that girl went on to fall head over heels. She fell to the point of defending Su Xin when she found out he was married.


    Zhao Hua drew swords for Su Xin and she was ready to go against the world for him. Just when she finally seduced him, Zhao Huangzhi went to look for Qie Ranzhe so he could catch the cheating man going at it with Zhao Hua. She expected Su Xin to be divorced the very next second or at least a cold corpse but the man was as hard to kill as a cockroach.


    The only thing she got out of her devious n was Zhao Hua getting sent to the ancestral home in the mountains for reeducation as she had spent millions on Su Xin. Their father didn''t want her bright star to ruin her reputation for a man so she sent her away to the remote and primitivemountain.


    Her n was sessful but the pestilence was hanging around like a troublesome dust mite. She was at the spa having a facial chemical peel when she received a bunch of images one after the other. As though she had just received an electric shock like a prisoner on death row, she skimmed through the pictures and almost ran out of the spa with the treatment still on her face.


    She hurried thedy to speed up and didn''t stop for a moment to think through why someone would send her these pictures. What she didn''t know was that Kai Zi was using her to add fuel to the fire for his own purpose. This is why she was standing in Qie Ranzhe''s office with red patches all over her cheeks and jawline seeming winded.


    "Ran-ge, I told you he is no good. Look," she said cing her phone in his hand. Qie Ranzhe stared at her with a nk expression for a short moment before lowering his head to scan through the pictures. Seeing him concentrating on the pictures she continued, "He was in the cafe opposite your office building flirting with this slut. I, I am truly worried that if such things reach Qie Xieling it would devastate him. I mean he likes his dad and all but such terrible behaviour would subject him to mockery from his ssmates."


    Once she yed this card, Wen Qinxi almost burst in to cut out her tongue but he held back because he wanted to hear how much bullshit she can spit out of that sly mouth. Qie Ranzhe on the other hand, didn''t raise his head but his lips twitched as though telling her to go on.


    "Ran-ge, he is really not good for Xieling and your reputation," she said lifting her perfectly manicured hand to touch Qie Ranzhe''s but he dodged before returning her phone.


    "What happened to your face?" asked Qie Ranzhe not that he cared. He was just curious.


    Zhao Huangzhi''s eyebrows shifted slightly wondering why he would ask such a question after seeing all this deeming evidence. A blush spread from her red patches assuming Qie Ranzhe cared for her. "Ah... it''s a chemical peel. It''s nothing to worry about Ran-ge," she said touching her cheeks bashful before hissing in pain. She had left the spa in a hurry that she didn''t do the aftercare treatment.


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t pay her any heed wondering why Kai Zi would send the same pictures to her. He sat into his office chair and said, "Miss Zhao, as I said before you shouldn''t call me Ran-ge from now on and I would appreciate it if you stay the fuck away from my business from now on," staring at her with a menacing look.


    He had already issued a warning to all the crime bosses but it seemed Mr Zhao didn''t pass the memo to his daughter. Zhao Huangzhi''s face sank wondering what it would take to get Su Xin off the throne. To be frank, he didn''t deserve that position as he had proved just that several times.


    Zhao Huangzhi ced both of her hands on the desk staring at Qie Ranzhe with a deep gaze. "What would it take for you to open your eyes and realise this man is not right for you? I am everything you need. A virtuous gentle woman with the ability to satisfy all your needs. I love you and I love Qie Xieling. I will be able to take care of the both of you so why are you refusing me?"

 Chapter 347: Fourth World: Yoga Class For Qie Ranzhes Baby

    Chapter 347: Fourth World: Yoga ss For Qie Ranzhe''s Baby


    Qie Ranzhe felt his entire being run out of patients so he said, "Miss Zhao, I highly suggest you get the fuck out of my office or would you prefer I call security?"


    Zhao Huangzhi reached for her shoulder and pulled down her off-shoulder dress exposing her bustline and smooth pale skin. It seemed normal methods weren''t working so out of desperation she resorted to seducing him. "I promise the taste of a woman is much more than that of a man. Try it out with me, just this once and I promise you I won''t disappoint," she said lowering her dress even further but before it reached the back of her bra she was suddenly sshed with a hot cup of coffee. It wasn''t scorching hot but it was hot enough to redden her exposed corbone.


    "AAAAAAHHHHHH!!" screamed the coffee drenched Zhao Huangzhi, " Ran-ge, he..."


    There wasn''t a single word to urately describe how she was feeling when she saw Su Xin standing there resembling an angry bull. She had no idea Su Xin was in Qie Ranzhe''s office this entire time. One can only imagine her shock when her love rival sshed hot coffee on her almost half-naked body.


    "Baby, that was mine,"ined Qie Ranzhe acting cute to his pissed off bunny. No, bunny is the wrong choice. He was more like a feisty cat.


    Bang!


    Wen Qinxi mmed the empty coffee cup on the desk and said, "I will buy you another one," with his gaze fixed on the shameless seductress who dared to undress in front of his husband.


    "What the fuck are you still doing here? Get the fuck out," yelled Wen Qinxi with a dark aura straight from hell.


    "Wha..... you fucking asshole this is from Mn for fuck sake," yelled Zhao Huangzhi pulling up her dress.


    Wen Qinxi didn''t give a rat''s ass whether it''s from Mn or fake goods from the market square he just wanted this bitch dead. "Still not leaving?... You fuckin think I am joking," he mumbled before strolling over to Qie Ranzhe''s safe.


    Qie Ranzhe, "...."


    A beeping sound resonated on the top floor as Wen Qinxi effortlessly unlocked Qie Ranzhe''s safe like it was nothing. The man''s password was the same as in the third world making it easy for him to unlock the safe. "You think I am fuckin joking with you," he said before the safe door opened. He swiftly loaded the weapon he found in there with a murderous aura.


    That''s when Zhao Huangzhi realised Su Xin meant to kill her. She screamed before running out of the office with a deadly pale face. Just as she reached the door a shot was fired but Su Xin missed. That''s because Qie Ranzhe embraced him from behind forcing his arms down.


    "Let go, Ran-ge let me go. I need to teach her a lesson.... let go," said Wen Qinxi angered to high heaven.


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t say anything burying his head in Su Xin''s neck as though trying to appease him but of course, Wen Qinxi misunderstood.


    "Are you protecting her," he said trying to get out of his embrace. Zhao Huangzhi had touched his bottom line time and time again but this was the first time she actually tried to take off her clothes to seduce his man. Her level of shamelessness seemed to increase with each world.


    "No... I am not protecting her. I am protecting you, baby," he said in a coy tone that copsed Wen Qinxi''s three views.


    ''Is he acting cute with me?'' thought Wen Qinxi ring at Qie Ranzhe at the corner of his eye.


    "Don''t be mad, baby. You can''t dirty your hands," said Qie Ranzhe tightly his hold. The Zhao family was too powerful right now that they would brazenlye after Su Xin if he guns down Zhao Huangzhi in broad daylight. This is why he stopped Su Xin. He would have to first strip that family of its power before delivering Zhao Huangzhi to his lover with an apple in her mouth like a roasted pig.


    Wen Qinxi sighed deeply before cing the gun on the couch but Qie Ranzhe kept hugging him like he was afraid to lose him. Understanding Qie Ranzhe''s meaning, Wen Qinxi let him embrace for a while longer but he was still in a bad mood.


    It turns out food uplifts one''s mood as is the case with this firecracker of a nerd. His mood saw some drastic improvement sharing a meal with Qie Ranzhe. He was so happy that he even forgot the purpose he came to Qie Ranzhe''s office in the first ce. He might have forgotten but Qie Ranzhe hadn''t.


    He didn''t even notice that Qie Ranzhe was controlling what and how much he ate. This was entirely on purpose as revealed two hourster. Thinking they were heading home, Wen Qinxi obediently permitted Qie Ranzhe to drag him to the underground parking.


    The big boss even refused a chauffer choosing to take the wheel. Along the way, Qie Ranzhe kept chatting him up that he didn''t realise he was being taken to an unfamiliar location. The vehicle entered a fancy looking private club and as soon as Qie Ranzhe parked at the entrance, he opened the trunk and exited the car.


    Wen Qinxi was confused but it all made sense when Qie Ranzhe came back and ced a gym bag in his hands. "Open it," said Qie Ranzhe with a beaming smile.


    Sceptical, Wen Qinxi unzipped the gym bag his brows scrunched up. Inside were yoga pants, sneakers and a sports t-shirt all in his size.


    Vexed, Wen Qinxi gazed at him questionably but Qie Ranzhe''s expression remained radiant. "For yoga sses," but Su Xin still looked confused so he exined further, "Your punishment... you have to go for yoga ss."


    Wen Qinxi looked calm on the outside but internally there was a mushroom cloud from a nuclear explosion.


    ''What that f@%@$^@%@^&*#%@^@%#%@&!!!!!!''


    System: 2333


    System: Boss, you are so fuckin screwed.


    System: Have fun doing the downward-facing dog.


    The system surely didn''t miss the opportunity to mock him by sending taunting messages. ''What the fuck is the downward-facing dog?''


    "I wille to pick you up after ss," said Qie Ranzhe before kissing the man''s lips, "Go on...You can''t bete for your first ss."


    Wen Qinxi fought off the urge to roll his eyes at him. The way Qie Ranzhe was so happy you did think he won a Te at a supermarket raffle. Wen Qinxi didn''t say anything expressing his displeasure but Qie Ranzhe was the least bit affected.


    "Fine," said Wen Qinxi before getting out of the car dragging the gym bag with a dark aura surrounding him.


    He couldn''t understand why Qie Ranzhe would ask him to do this but he soon found out and cursed Qie Ranzhe for three consecutive days.

 Chapter 348: Fourth World: Misunderstanding Su Xins Sore Muscles

    Chapter 348: Fourth World: Misunderstanding Su Xin''s Sore Muscles


    Wen Qinxi felt he had seriously underestimated yoga. This low impact exercise seems nice and rxed whenever he saw the poses online but once he experienced it himself, he had a dozenints. Every muscle in his body ached. Back, thighs, abdominal muscles you name it. It all hurt like a son of a bitch.


    When Qie Ranzhe picked him up things were okay but as soon as he woke up the next morning it was as if a ton of bricks were dropped on his person. Even walking downstairs was a chore in itself earning him funny looks from the entire family sitting by the breakfast table.


    Maybe it was because the word exercise didn''t belong in his vocabry that it hurt this much. He held onto the door frame eyeing Qie Ranzhe as though staring at a dead man. At first, he thought Qie Ranzhe asked him to do this as punishment to humiliate him but it turns out the punishment was the sore muscles. Well, yoga sore muscles aren''t this bad but for a person who had beef with pain, it became greatly exaggerated.


    Qie Ranzhe stood up to help his lover walk from the door frame to the breakfast table. He was so careful in his actions that it would give one the illusion that Su Xin was pregnant again. For sure his actions were misunderstood by Madam Qie. She came up with two conjectures from this scene.


    One, Qie Ranzhe overdid it and broke Su Xin''s backst night. Two, Su Xin was carrying another bun in the oven. She eyed the two suspiciously as though trying to figure out which conjecture is true.


    Wen Qinxi felt her gaze on his body making him feel awkward. Madam Qie wasn''t the only one eyeing Su Xin suspiciously. Qie Xieling was also wondering why his dad looked like he was run over by a car. His conjectures were far from Madam Qie''s. He was thinking what fun thing did his dad dost night and why Su Xin didn''t bring him along.


    Feeling left out, he asked, "Soooo... what were you up tost night? You didn''t drink with Nanast night again, did you?"


    Before Wen Qinxi could even answer Madam Qie denied her involvement while cingpieces of fried sweet potato in Su Xin''s bowl. "No, this isn''t my doing though.... would you like me to take you to see a doctor today?" she asked with caution. She didn''t want to be direct because Qie Xieling was sitting beside her.


    ''What the fuck?'' thought Wen Qinxi with a raised brow. He couldn''t imagine what sort of reaction the doctor would have if he walked into the ER for yoga induced muscle ache. What was his mother inw thinking?


    Qie Ranzhe on the other hand knew exactly what his mother was thinking. His lips quirked up as he reached his hand to rub Su Xin''s tummy. He couldn''t fend off the urge to tease Su Xin so he said, "I will buy you some iron supplementster today," raising both his eyebrows rapidly with a sly smile.


    Wen Qinxi stared at him for a while trying to figure out what the look on Qie Ranzhe meant. Paired with the words iron supplements he quickly figured what this man was implying.


    "Oh S.H.T! Such an S.O.B," said Wen Qinxi announcing the abbreviations of the curse words while yfully smacking his shoulder. He couldn''t help but flush in embarrassment.


    Qie Ranzhe found his reaction amusing so he chuckled trying to move away. The two looked like a couple of high schoolers teasing each other under the bleachers. "Hey, who are you calling a B?" said Madam Qie covering Qie Xieling''s ears but of course Qie Xieling had no idea what S.O.B and S.H.T meant. His grandma''s reaction had him conclude that they were bad words.


    "I think I know what S.H.T means but what''s S.O.B?" asked Qie Xieling recalling some of the swear words his ssmates posted in the group chat.


    "Eat more... talk less," said Qie Ranzhe shoving a slice of cucumber into Qie Xieling''s mouth. Kids these days are too clever.


    The table fell into silence for a moment but Qie Xieling and Madam Qie were still looking at Su Xin funny. He felt like a peculiar animal at the zoo that people stare at intently as though trying to figure out what it is exactly. Is it a horse or is it a donkey?


    "Uh? Then if it isn''t that I suggest you two y less. It''s no use if you break him Ah'' Ran. Remember he is a man and things lik.....," she said but didn''t get to finish because Su Xin almost choked on his food. This woman was too straight forward.


    Qie Ranzhe gave Su Xin a ss of water finding today''s breakfast especially exciting.


    "What... I can''t say it? Look at his lip. What kind of game are you two ying exactly?" she asked wondering what they were getting all worked up for. Her son might have an unconventional preference but that didn''t mean she would stop giving advice. If he bullies Su Xin too much he might get dumped then what? They go back to ying where''s Waldo running around to look for Su Xin. Her son''s mood had improved and she would rather he stays this way.


    "Oh, it makes sense. I thought you two went on to do fun things behind my back but it turns out you were exercising... Daddy once made me run threeps as punishment. What were you punishing dad for this time?" said Qie Xieling who had a much pure mind than his Nana.


    Everyone, "....."


    Wen Qinxi drank a mouthful before clearing his throat to respond, "It was yoga. I went for yoga ss yesterday."


    "Really?" said a disbelieving Madam Qie who was struggling to fish her mind out of the gutter. Turns out her son inw wasn''t pregnant neither were they doing this and that excessively but all that was for yoga. "You must be S.H.Ting me."


    Wen Qinxi felt so embarrassed that he wanted to bury his head into the sand like an ostrich. Out of desperation, he tried to change the subject to Qie Xieling''s Annual Music Festival but how could Madam Qie let him go that easy.


    "How about from now on we go to yoga ss together so we can get to know each other?" she suggested thinking having a son inw wasn''t so bad. She could drag him everywhere like she used to do to Qie Ranzhe when he was younger. These days she would force Qie Xieling to go with her but the kid was no fun at all always pouting when they went to the spa. This left one person in mind, Su Xin.


    "Oh, how about I take you to a rxing spa and relieve your sore muscles?" she asked a question that wasn''t necessarily a question but amand. She immediately stood up not giving Su Xin the chance to refuse.

 Chapter 349: Fourth World: Mama Bear Vs Inborn Idiots

    Chapter 349: Fourth World: Mama Bear Vs Inborn Idiots


    Wen Qinxi was dragged along by the overbearing mother inw. This exined where Qie Ranzhe''s personality came from. "Mum, why are you monopolizing my wife?" asked Qie Ranzhe holding Su Xin''s hand preventing them from leaving, "He hasn''t even finished eating yet." But his words fell on deaf ears. Su Xin was wearing a ''save me'' expression but Madam Qie was determined to turn him into her purse dog taking him everywhere.


    With the two of them gone, Qie Ranzhe and Qie Xieling stared at each other feeling abandoned. "You want to go and y some online games with me?" asked Qie Ranzhe but Qie Xieling shook his head in refusal.


    "No, it won''t be fun without Su Xin," replied Qie Xieling looking rather sour. Nana was definitely going to be a problem once she found out how much fun it is to hang out with Su Xin.


    "True, true. Should we go study together then?" asked Qie Ranzhe cing down his chopsticks. That''s what these two did when they were alone together. One adult would be sitting in front of his desk doing work while the young one would be sitting on the opposite side doing school work in a silent yet harmonious atmosphere.


    "Sure," replied Qie Xieling holding his daddy''s hand going upstairs.


    While others were studying, Wen Qinxi was receiving a massage at the spa. He was sceptical at first because if Qie Ranzhe finds out that someoneid their hands on him there would be severe consequences but Madam Qie said it would be their little secret. Ha! As if!


    Madam Qie was extremely chatty throughout the entire session like she had met her long lost childhood friend. Wen Qinxi didn''t find it monotonous or boring. It was rather interesting to know what goes on in this woman''s brain.


    He couldn''t help but wonder if this was Madam Qie''s true personality in the real world. ording to the information handed to him before entering the game, Madam Qie suffered from chronic depression after her husband blindsided her with divorce papers and no exnation whatsoever. Qie Ranzhe seemed to have a half brother overnight and his mother was kicked out of the family home in no time.


    Maybe this Madam Qie was what Qie Ranzhe''s mother was like before that scum divorced her and married a mistress. This thought made Wen Qinxi want to treat her better so he indulged her for an entire day even having a facial and manicure to appease her.


    Things were going great that is until she brought in a lingeriepany after lunch. They were rxing drinking some champagne in a private lounge when pink uniformed women and a mboyant man walked in holding boxes and hanger rails with obscene things for men.


    "What the fuck?" cursed Wen Qinxi his cheeks burning like they were on fire. Cut out low ride underwear, men''s G-strings, lubricant you name it. It was all on disy.


    ''Is she trying to drive me away by scaring me to death?'' he thought covering his face with his hands while asionally peeking.


    Madam Qie had been misunderstood. She didn''t want to drive him away in fact she wanted him to stay to avoid her son going bonkers. She knew Su Xin had no mother and his father screwed the poor kid over abandoning him. If Su Xin hadn''t cheated on her son and left she was already nning to educate him. This was what hen parties were for but Su Xin didn''t get to have one and since he''s a man it would have been awkward. Thus she took this opportunity to educate him.


    "I uh, why? This....," said Wen Qinxi feeling like he was going to die from embarrassment on the spot.


    "What? I am doing it for the two of you. I know what type of things you two do... I overheard Qie Ranzhe on the phone the other day. It''s good to y but you also need to y safely, isn''t it? It''s none of my business but I am the only usible candidate to deal with this," she said without an ounce of embarrassment, "Go on Gareth. We are listening."


    The man called Gareth enthusiastically exined as the girls unboxed a few items. Wen Qinxi thought it was just going to stop at lingerie but things got even worse over time when strange toys were fished out of the box and Madam Qie was peering at the stuff with interest.


    From that awkward tutorial, Wen Qinxi concluded that Madam Qie must have been a freak in bed when her husband was alive. He was as red as a cooked lobster when he walked out but Madam Qie was so calm like nothing happened. She even asked him to pick items he wasfortable with so he could take them home.


    On their way home, Wen Qinxi didn''t say much but Madam Qie didn''t mind. She was rather satisfied and vowed to drag Su Xin to go hiking next weekend. While making ns in her mind their bodies suddenly jerked forward as the driver hit the emergency brakes causing the car to swerve to the side.


    The busy highway turned chaotic as the bodyguard''s cars in front formed a barricade followed by the sound of gunfire. "Shit! It''s an ambush. Madam get down!" yelled the driver but the enemy had a serious vendetta. The two cars in front were blown up one after the other by a rocketuncher causing them to flip a couple of times in a huge explosion.


    Wen Qinxi had no idea who would be stupid enough to do this here but one thing was for sure, he was the target.


    Madam Qie was a veteran herself when it came to things like this. She grew up under such circumstances so of course, she wouldn''t obediently stay down.


    "Mother fucker! You got some fucking balls," she yelled taking out a gun strapped on her thigh.


    Wen Qinxi, "..."


    "What the fuck are you staring at? Get a gun..... shit!" she yelled before a bullet prated through the windscreen striking the driver''s shoulder. Their cars were bulletproof but these men didn''t use regr bullets. They came here with a clear intention that is toplete their mission.


    Wen Qinxi felt a rush of adrenaline coursing through his veins as he pulled the driver to the back seat thinking he could drive them out of the war zone. As soon as he ced the driver in the backseat, Madam Qie jumped over swiftly taking off her heels. It seemed the irond woman was nning to drive.


    ''Does she fuckin have a driving license,'' thought Wen Qinxi taking out a bandage from the first aid kit. He pressed down on the driver''s wound scanning their surroundings covered in smoke from the blown-up vehicles. Within the smog, five men appeared wearing skull masks holding rifles.


    With the car surrounded from all sides, the group leader stipted his condition. As expected he wanted Su Xin. The leader genuinely thought Madam Qie would dly oblige but unfortunately for him, he didn''t know that these two had spent an afternoon having a hen party so she wouldn''t give him up easily. She ced her fingers on the key glowering at the naive bastard.


    The roaring sound of the engine jolted the gunmen. They had clear instructions that no matter how shit goes down they are not to touch Madam Qie but the woman had no such restrictions. This was a typical you can''t kill me but I can most definitely kill you scenario. One can only guess how a PK between Mama bear vs Inborn idiots would end.

 Chapter 350: Fourth World: Underwear On A Windscreen

    Chapter 350: Fourth World: Underwear On A Windscreen


    A revving sound of an engine reverberated the air with a torqued offdy tightly clutching the steering wheel. She was clutching onto it till her knuckles turned white. It was obvious what Madam Qie''s decision was but they had a job toplete so their leader in a purple skull mask raised the rifle preparing to shoot the tyres while saying, "This is yourst warning... handover Su Xin otherwise this will end in bloodshed."


    "What did he say? I didn''t hear shit," eximed Wen Qinxi taking the driver''s gun from its holster. The man''s loud bellows were drowned in the sound of the engine roaring which meant Madam Qie and Wen Qinxi barely heard anything.


    "That''s the fuckin point," she said before resolutely pressing down on the elerator moving the car in reverse. The reason why she was revving the engine in the first ce was to prevent dirtying her ears with their bullshit. Wen Qinxi''s body was jerked backwards as a round of bullets rained down on them. Their pursuers stopped shooting and hopped into their cars chasing after them.


    "Shit!" yelled Wen Qinxi struggling to regain stability while pressing down on the button to open the window.


    Just as he regained his footing his poor body was jolted to the side causing him to fall on top of the driver. The man grimaced in pain but Wen Qinxi couldn''t worry about that right now.


    He got off him while yelling, "When was thest time you drove a car? I am seriously questioning how you managed to get your driving license," while positioning his head out of the window returning fire to the enemy.


    "Less talking more shooting!" yelled Madam Qie driving through oing traffic. Honks and angry bellows followed as the bullet-ridden car flew past the unsuspecting vehicles. Cars had to abruptly veer to the side to make way and prevent an ident.


    But amongst the wheat, there was chaff that wasn''t paying attention. A red convertible full of teens joy riding on the highway didn''t read the situation in advance only managing to get out of the way at thest minute. Despite swerving out of the way in the nick of time, the side of that luxurious convertible was scratched leaving an unsightly dent.


    Half of Wen Qinxi''s body hung off the window due to the impact with his hair blown by the wind like in a wind tunnel. "Oh, fuck me!" yelled Wen Qinxi trying to crawl back into the car but before he could even try a shot rang out as the bad guys caught up with them. Wen Qinxi was taken by surprise but his survival instincts kicked in firing his weapon.


    The bullet urately pierced the windscreen of the vehicle pursuing them killing the driver in an instant. The high speeding vehicle abruptly hit the brakes before flipping three times heading straight for the red convertible. The teens scattered in different directions saving their lives but the one who was driving before felt like he should have just died. "Fuck!" swore the teenager while holding his head, "I fuckin took it without my dad''s permission. I am so dead!" Well, let''s just say that was the lesson for the day. Kids, don''t take your dad''s car without permission.


    Anyway, back to the high-speed chase. Madam Qie checked her mirror only to find her son''s husband struggling to get back in the car so she yelled, "Stop messing around and get back in!" after rolling down her window.


    "Thank you for that captain obvious," said Wen Qinxi in a sarcastic tone. Madam Qie wasn''t angered by his response in the slightest. In fact, an ominous smile crept up her face the next instant. She pressed down lightly on the brake with her right foot over the elerator. In a split second, she turned the wheel sharply to the left and lifted the hand brake. As soon as the car''s tail spun she pressed down on the elerator and released the hand brake performing a perfect 180 degrees car spin like a pro drag racer.


    Wen Qinxi was tossed back into the car as a smile crept up on Madam Qie''s face. He didn''t even have enough time to recover before they flew along the highway head-on with oing traffic and two more vehicles following behind them. Wen Qinxi struggled to get up asking, "What the hell are you?...Are you a fuckin terminator?" but Madam Qie didn''t answer driving like a mad man sorry mad woman down the road.


    Wen Qinxi crawled to the back of the vehicle and returned fire to their pursuers. He managed to deal some damage but it wasn''t fatal enough so much so that he ran out of bullets without shaking them off.


    "I am out!" yelled Wen Qinxi scanning around for anything he could use. His view fell on the brown shopping bags as an interesting idea popped into his mind. Madam Qie tossed her gun to him as the ck vehicle pursuing them drew closer.


    He grabbed the brown shopping bag and poured out the lubricant on the underwear making it sticky. He then flung the contents at the car that was slowly approaching theirs. The contents of the shopping bags flew out sticking to the windscreen.


    "What the fuck?" yelled the driver who was blinded by a rain of lewd lingerie making him momentarily lose control of the vehicle. Using the wipers he tried to swat away the slutty underwear obstructing his view. Because he couldn''t see he wasn''t able to dodge the iing bullets. His front tyres were shot in an instant causing his vehicle to veer out of control. The second car was also caught up in this mess which meant they were able to shake off their pursuers.


    The three drove back to the mansion evading the police and emergency service vehicles on the way. The mansion was chaotic with the livid Qie Ranzhe barking out orders. He was in the study with Qie Xieling when he heard the news. Gathering his men he was about to head out to find them when the two showed up in a bullet-ridden car.


    The anxious Qie Ranzhe ran over to open the door and pulled Su Xin into his arms angering Madam Qie. The two were busy embracing each other tightly force-feeding everyone with some good old fashioned dog food when pink stilettos struck them one after the other.


    "I fuckin drove us out of the mess yet no one is asking me if I am okay? Such ungrateful bastards!" yelled Madam Qie while scanning around to find something else to throw at them.


    Machu would have asked if she was okay but he was preupied taking the injured driver inside. Besides, if he asked he might have been the one to have pink stilettos thrown on his face because he wasn''t the one she wanted that question toe from.


    "Mum, stop throwing things... I was wrong," said Qie Ranzhe protecting Su Xin from an iing cellphone.


    "Give me back my shoes!" she yelled unable to find something else to toss. Old Lu picked up the stilettos and handed them over only to have the shoes flying again. Frustrated, she stormed into the house looking for strong liquor to calm her nerves.

 Chapter 351: Fourth World: Pink Stilettos Flying

    Chapter 351: Fourth World: Pink Stilettos Flying


    Wen Qinxi lifted his head from Qie Ranzhe''s chest and whispered, "You should probably go appease her... she''s really pissed off."


    "En," replied Qie Ranzhe before embracing the man tighter. A minute ago he thought he was going to lose this man and seeing him safe, he just had to embrace him a little longer before letting go. "One more minute," he said before kissing the top of Su Xin''s head.


    Madam Qie only got appeased two hourster after giving Qie Ranzhe the run-around. Her son had a major incurable husbandplex that was hard to treat. She could only ept it that is after extorting a weekend trip with just the two of them.


    While Madam Qie was extorting a weekend trip out of her son, Wen Qinxi was mourning the loss of his sexy underwear. Sacrifices had to be made but why did it have to be the brand new lingerie? Anyway, they did a great service otherwise he might have been stuck in some cold dark basement with a sackcloth over his head.


    This had him thinking about his future ns. That asshole Kai Zi actually had the balls to send people after him. There is no one else in this world who had such deep hatred for him.


    Now that Kai Zi''s n had failed it meant he would speed up his efforts to take down Qie Ranzhe. He had already been caught striking the ho''s nest so how could the king of hos let him go. Qie Ranzhe was most definitely going to retaliate so Kai Zi would be forced to act first. Wen Qinxi decided to meet up with his gang the very next day and get ready for Kai Zi''s next move.


    While Wen Qinxi wasing up with a n in his mind, the bedroom door was slowly opened with Qie Xieling''s fluffy head of hair peeking through the crack. It seemed he was checking if Su Xin was sleeping not that he would leave if his dad was sleeping. He nned on joining him to be rid of his anxiety.


    The details of today''s events weren''t exined to him but Qie Xieling was a smart kid after all. He had experienced too many of such things which is why his daddy built a state of the art panic room. What made him particrly anxious today was the fact that Su Xin and Nana were caught in the crossfire.


    The thought of losing his dad and nana too frightened this poor boy so much that he had toe and check on Su Xin.


    Wen Qinxi smiled sweetly when he saw his little minion standing by the door. He beckoned him toe over and the two sat on the bed with Qie Xieling expressing his grievances. The kid was so aggrieved that his eyes reddened in an instant while burying his head in the pillow.


    Wen Qinxi soothingly stroked Qie Xieling''s hair while appeasing him. He could understand the kid''s frustration so he coaxed him to sleep while reassuring him. By the time Qie Ranzhe came to his bedroom, he found an extra person nestled in his husband''s arms.


    He also wanted to express his grievances and vent out his frustration to his lover but it turns out it wasn''t going to happen tonight. Su Xin and Qie Xieling were both sleeping peacefully and if he kicks his son out now, it would seem heartless. He took a shower and slid into the nkets spooning Su Xin. The family of three slept in this exact manner painting a harmonious picture.


    Across town, while the family of three were sleeping soundly, Kai Zi was throwing a temper tantrum in his office. He sent those goons to capture his love rival but those idiots couldn''t even get the job done right. He had the surviving men gunned down by his own hand at the pier near one of his warehouses.


    He would have had his love rival in his grasp tonight but that little weasel wiggled his way under Madam Qie''s protection. After sending Zhao Huangzhi to sow discord he expected Su Xin to be temporarily out of favour. He then nned to grab the opportunity and kill him while the easterly winds were wreaking havoc in their rtionship. He thought Wen Qinxi would be kicked out of the Qie mansion for the night but things didn''t work out as nned.


    With n A crumbling to pieces, Kai Zi was forced to go ahead with n B but he truly didn''t foresee Mama Qie protecting Su Xin like an egg. Anyway, there was no point in crying over spilt milk. He had toe up with another n. What gave him peace of mind was that those men couldn''t be traced back to him so Qie Ranzhe would never find out this had something to do with him.


    What he didn''t realise was that not only did Qie Ranzhe know but others did too as demonstrated in the next hour. Mr Zhao ambled into his office like he owned the ce with a condescending attitude.


    "You think he doesn''t know?" he asked before lighting a Cuban cigar. Mr Zhao was representing all the veterans in the underworld who viewed Qie Ranzhe as an impulsive scourge trying to overturn the ways of the old. Their purpose was simple. Takedown Qie Ranzhe and restored order but to do that they needed an insider and that insider could only be Kai Zi.


    Mr Zhao exhaled a few puff rings before carrying on with his sales pitch. "The asshole knows and he''sing after you, your family, even your family pet. The stupid husky of yours... what''s its name again?"


    Kai Zi gulped in nervousness as he stuttered, "Be-beastly." He didn''t want to believe that Qie Ranzhe knew but if Mr Zhao knew then it meant Qie Ranzhe also knew that it was him behind all of this.


    "Hahaha.... beastly! That''s fuckin funny... that dog is anything but a beast," haughtilyughed Mr Zhao before taking a slow drag of his cigar, "Yah, even beastly won''t be spared by that devil."


    "So... what should I do? I mean seeing that my elder is here it means you have a n," said Kai Zi feeling like a trapped animal ready for ughter. He had been too impulsiveing after Su Xinnding him straight into the fire.


    An eerie smile appeared on Mr Zhao''s face giving Kai Zi a bad premonition. He had screwed up big time and didn''t know how to deal with this situation. "Cut off the head of the snake before it strikes... We know you know a lot of Qie Ranzhe''s secrets and it wouldn''t be hard for you to take him down. Join hands with us and let''s knock him off his high horse for the sake of your family and mine," said Mr Zhao desperate toy his hands on Su Xin for humiliating both of his little girls.


    Kai Zi seriously considered the man''s words before responding, "As long as you promise me that you won''t kill Ran-ge."


    Mr Zhao smiled like a malicious fiend in the cultivation world with a cloud of smoke surrounding him. "No problem.... in fact, you can do with him as you please. Even as a kept lover."

 Chapter 352: Fourth World: Lingerie In Highway Scandal

    Chapter 352: Fourth World: Lingerie In Highway Scandal


    Both Wen Qinxi and Qie Ranzhe had different ways to deal with Kai Zi and punish the wicked. As the saying goes there are many roads but one destination. Qie Ranzhe''s method was ruthless but slow and Wen Qinxi''s route was most definitely fast yet subtle. Each of them acted separately and that''s because the overprotective husband put Wen Qinxi on 24/7 watch.


    His actions implying that Su Xin should stay as far away as possible from trouble but Wen Qinxi eats trouble for breakfast especially after entering this game. So how could he obediently sit down and watch everything go to shit? Nope! Wen Qinxi managed to leave the mansion but this time he was so cautious he even wore a disguise.


    If anyone deserves the chameleon art of disguise award, it would be Wen Qinxi. How or when he thought of dressing like an old uncle at a fish market? No one knows. But when Qie Ranzhe found out he felt like going back home to spank a grown man. He pretended not to notice anything and asked his men to follow him closely.


    Wen Qinxi on the other hand was so pleased with his disguise that managed to shake off Qie Ranzhe''s security. If he can fool those bodyguards then he can most definitely fool Kai Zi''s minions. Proud of himself he paraded into the old warehouse belonging to the Su family which was their designated meeting ce.


    When he walked in, he found Li Meimei fiddling with a safe and a pair of headsets on. Casio was messing with a sports car. Only heavens know where on earth he got that car. Ting-ge was having a video call yelling into theptop like a grandma who couldn''t hear what the other person was saying and could only shout at the top of his voice.


    "It''s side to side, twirl then shimmy not twirl, side to side and do whatever it is that you are doing. Hey, hey, Dai-er! I see you get back in line," yelled Ting-ge seeming like he would get into theptop and demonstrate whatever it is to the people he was talking to.


    Curious, Wen Qinxi walked over to see what this giant was yelling about. What activity could possibly involve abination of side to side, twirl then shimmy? Well, Wen Qinxi soon got the answer when he saw a group of five year old girls dressed in blue tootoos. It seemed they were rehearsing and Ting-ge, the big friendly giant was their instructor.


    Wen Qinxi leaned down watching the good show while asking, "Part-time job?"


    Ting-ge shook his head and said, "No, it''s volunteer work. It''s my niece''s dance ss... Hey Liu Liu, what are you doing? You aren''t supposed to lick that, seriously!"


    Wen Qinxi raised his brow with an amused expression before walking over to a nearby desk but just as he took two steps, Ting-ge suddenly had a moment of epiphany attracting the others'' attention.


    "Wait what are you wearing?" asked Ting-ge fairly certain Su Xin had a few screws loose in his brain.


    "AAAAAHHHHHH! Shit! You fuckin scared me Gege," screamed Li Meimei when she abruptly turned her head only to find a weirdo uncle staring at her. The poor girl was frightened to death. She pulled down her headsets and as expected began to roast Su Xin. "Oi, is this some type of kink you and bad boy Qie are into these days? Yes, boss, get down and dirty for your man," she said with a sly smile that showed off her canines.


    "Mei-Jie at least he''s getting more sex than you.... haha," said Casio while mming the hood of the car shut.


    "Burnnnnn! Now that''s a good one," said Wen Qinxi bumping fists with Casio. It felt good watching Li Meimei tongue-tied for once but their victory was short-lived.


    Li Meimei threw a cloth at the pink and blonde-haired Casio before disclosing unnecessary information. "FYI, I gotid two nights in a roll. That waitress followed me back home like a lost pup and yes we ahem... ahem you know what I mean?"


    "Okay TMI, I really don''t want to know the details," said Wen Qinxi hoping that would shut her up. Li Meimei was exactly the type to share with zero restraint.


    "Oh wow, says the guy who threw lingerie on the highway. Go on, tell us how a grown man like you wears ace ck thong, huh?" said Li Meimei with a cunning smile. It was on national television as breaking news but no one knew the identities of the people involved so how did Li Meimei know that it was the r-rated Santa us, Su Xin that threw xxx things to a bunch of cars like Father Christmas throwing candy canes to a bunch of children on Christmas.


    "Okayyyyy, time to move on. Let''s discuss business, shall we?" said Wen Qinxi attempting to veer the conversation in an eptable direction but Li Meimei wouldn''t be Li Meimei if she took the hint.


    "No, no wait. I prepared a slide show....," she said before turning her phone screen for all to see, "Exhibit A, a ssic cut out ck leather underwear with.... ouch.... hahaha you can''t silence me," she said with thetter part a result of Wen Qinxi trying to snatch her cellphone. "Exhibit B... ai so kinky Gege....," she carried on running away from Su Xin whileughing herself to death.


    Such were the childish antics between this group ofpatriots and Wen Qinxi wasn''t upset about it. He had experienced even worse teasing from Wen Danzhe which meant Li Meimei''s teasing was merely horsey.


    She only backed down when he finally showed her a sample picture of the Kai family vault sessfully diverting her attention. Like an excited kindergartener, she admired one of the world''s most secure vaults. It was her dream to break into such a sophisticated vault and make a long lineage of Robin hood ancestry proud. The Li family had four generations of thieves with one motto ''steal from the rich and enrich impoverishedmunities''.


    Her itchy fingers desperately wanted to get into that vault and now she had an opportunity. The Kai family had deep-seated roots in the ck market diamond trade and that vault contained it all but Wen Qinxi wasn''t interested in the illegal diamonds in there.


    His main focus was the ck material on the Qie family and other organizations that the Kai family collected over the years. It was an unspoken rule in the underworld to stay out of each other''s business but the Kai family secretly gathered information from their allies and enemies alike with clear intentions.


    If only this information was digital it would have been easy for Wen Qinxi to steal it but old man Kai was a paranoid man with heavy distrust for the digital age for a good reason. So everything was in hard copies and Kai Zi being the CEO of the Kai Family business was the only one who had ess to this information.

 Chapter 353: Fourth World: Cow pose

    Chapter 353: Fourth World: Cow pose


    Coupled with the fact that Kai Zi and Qie Ranzhe were friends since childhood Kai Zi knew much more powerful secrets which meant it wouldn''t be hard for him to bring down Qie Ranzhe.


    The objective of the mission was to break into the Kai family vault and confiscate all the ck material and hopefully find some damning evidence in there to bring this prestigious family down.


    "How on earth are we going to get into the Kai Mansion? That ce is like Fort Knox....," eximed Ting-ge feeling like this mission was doomed to fail from the very beginning.


    Wen Qinxi took out a ck and gold printed invitation and mmed it on the table. "Anyone in the mood for a party?" he said with a beaming smile.


    Each year the Kai family opened up their doors to throw this charade but in all truthfulness, it was a way to show off their grandeur while exhibiting their art and diamond collection. It was a way to demonstrate their prestige across various socialworks inviting famous people from both political and entertainment circles.


    It was this exact party that was going to end them. "I get it but isn''t it security is tighter on that night. I heard they employ armed forces just for this party..... This is most likely a suicide mission," said Casio while folding his arms across his chest.


    "Gege, I also want to get my hands on that vault but... I am afraid Casio is right. It''s a suicide mission," said Li Meimei handing the cellphone back to Su Xin. Their fear was warranted. If this mission fails then they would not only lose their lives but their families will be potential targets. This is just how the underworld works.


    Surprisingly it was Ting-ge who sided with Su Xin. He might be a cynical person but he had a deep trust for Su Xin. The man might be disloyal to his partners but he was dedicated when it came to work. Plus it seemed the man had acquired special skills over the years. If he says he can do it then he can do it.


    "You are forgetting one thing.... we have him. When has Xin-er ever deceived you? Now stop being wusses and hear him out," said Ting-ge disconnecting the dance ss he had muted ages ago.


    "You are in?" asked Wen Qinxi with a smirk on his face. The three people agreed with him prompting Wen Qinxi to say, "Then let''s mission impossible this shit." He always wanted to say such a line but now that he had said it out loud, it didn''t sound as cool as it did in his head and the system seemed to think so as well.


    ''Ha! So fuckin cheesy,'' said the system feeling embarrassed on his behalf.


    ''Okay miss prissy. How about youe up with a better line?'' replied Wen Qinxi curious to see if this douchebag of a system cane up with something better.


    ''Okay, how about lets James bond this mess or, or maybe.... its go time?'' said the thrilled system but unfortunately its creator didn''t appreciate its suggestions.


    ''How was that any different from what I said? You know what... never mind. Go find yourself something else to do,'' said Wen Qinxi ignoring the systempletely. He didn''t have time to y games with Jolie as he still had a yoga ss to attend.


    The group got to nning seriously for four hours straight paying careful attention to the tiniest details. If this n fails then Wen Qinxi would have no choice but to involve Qie Ranzhe which he didn''t want as yet. He wasn''t certain if the long friendship shared between Kai Zi and Qie Ranzhe would influence Qie Ranzhe into being lenient on the Kai family.


    After all, Kai Zi pulled this stunt as well before Wen Qinxi intervened in this world. His n was sessful before because Qie Ranzhe trusted Kai Zi leading to the Qie family''s downfall.


    Wen Qinxi needed to get that ck material out of Kai Zi''s hands and bring down the rest of the Kai family without worrying about being ckmailed.


    As soon as their discussion ended, Wen Qinxi stood up to leave. "Okay, I have to go otherwise I will bete for my yoga ss," said Wen Qinxi sounding so casual that he didn''t realise he exposed a secret.


    He straightened up his disguise unaware of the funny looks sent his way. An awkward silence descended upon the room which he only noticed after straightening his old man hat. "What?" he asked with an obvious look of puzzlement, "what''s wrong?"


    "Yo-yoga ss? Hahahahahahahahaha!!!!" said Casio who couldn''t hold back anymore. It wasn''t only him. Even Ting-ge couldn''t help itughing himself to tears.


    "Ha, ha, ha.... very funny. What are youughing at Ting-ge when you are a dance instructor for a toddler ss?"


    "I like yoga. Gege take me with you," said the only person who wasn''t making fun of him but of course, he couldn''t bring her along. It was a private club after all.


    After much struggle, he finally escaped from them feeling embarrassed. Those men really made fun of him touching his sore spot. He also didn''t want to do yoga. The pants were a bit tight and he couldn''t do some of those outrageous poses to save his own life. But Qie Ranzhe insisted on it and for some odd reason, he was rather excited puzzling Wen Qinxi.


    What he didn''t know was that Qie Ranzhe''s enthusiasm was for a crude reason that would have him blushing when he finds out. Wen Qinxi took a taxi to the private club changing out of his disguise shocking the taxi driver who thought he was carrying an old uncle. "What are you looking at?" was the question Wen Qinxi threw at the man who had his eyes on him instead of the road.


    "Blind date?" asked the curious taxi driver. He had also been set up by his parents for a blind date but never thought of this method of sabotage. "Did it work?"


    Wen Qinxi knew exactly what this man was talking about and didn''t bother correcting him either. It was exactly this misunderstanding that gave Wen Qinxi a great way to get away from a blind date in the future i.e. in the real world.


    By the time Wen Qinxi arrived at the private club he was already ten minuteste so he got changed and rushed into the yoga studio. Because of his tardiness, he didn''t notice a familiar figure at the far end of the studio.


    If he had known that he would be here, he would have skipped ss and hired a private instructor instead. For the entire session, he had no idea that someone was eyeing his ass with a lustful gaze whenever he arched his back in a cow pose. He only found out after ss which sparked the beginning of world war three.

 Chapter 354: Fourth World: Pervert Zheng

    Chapter 354: Fourth World: Pervert Zheng


    It is a well-known fact that people always covet what they don''t possess. Such is the case for the award-winning actor Kai Zheng. He had heard from his younger brother that Su Xin would be at this private club for yoga sses so he dropped everything toe to take a look. It was difficult to get a slot in this ss because of the yoga instructor''s poprity.


    It cost him an autograph and a meal card for an expensive French restaurant to wiggle his way into this ss but ss began with no sign of Su Xin. He followed the instructions while keeping an eye out for the man but five minutes in and Su Xin hadn''t made his appearance.


    He was starting to question the authenticity of the information when the door was suddenly pushed open and in came the man he was looking forward to seeing. He was as gorgeous as ever with stretchy pants that entuated his long slender legs and perky butt.


    Kai Zheng''s eyes darkened drooling over another man''s spouse like a pervert. As a film emperor, he had so many suitors waiting to serve him at a short notice but for some reason, he couldn''t get over Su Xin. It was this exact feeling that made him take a break from filming. Just a peek at the man would momentarily satisfy his craving.


    As ssmenced he realised what a terrible mistake he made. It was extremely hard for his mind not to go in the gutter with these entric yoga poses. When done by others it was okay but when done by the subject of his seasonal spring dreams Kai Zheng found himself repressing an impending arousal.


    Wen Qinxi absolutely had no idea there was a pervert amidst the crowd and carried on diligently following instructions. Qie Ranzhe had tendencies to ask him to demonstrate what he learnt in ss. Of course, Wen Qinxi would refuse but under Qie Ranzhe''s enchanting smile, he would waiver and show him a few poses. It was for this exact reason that he put his genius mind to work studying seriously.


    After ss, Wen Qinxi hit the showers to wash away the sweat from his body. Qie Ranzhe wasing to pick him up so he had to wash up fast. As soon as he stepped out of the shower in his bathrobe, he was met by an unexpected sight. Kai Zheng was standing outside the bathroom door as though waiting for him to finish.


    Well, Kai Zheng initially wanted to follow Su Xin right after ss but he was stopped by enthusiastic richdies who were thrilled to see the famous film emperor. If Kai Zheng wasn''t from a rich family they would have dly taken him and made him their sugar baby.


    Kai Zheng put up an actor''s smile and coaxed thedies before dashing over to the locker room. He was hoping to find Su Xin undressing or something. Maybe he would get a rare opportunity to sample the goods but by the time he got there, Su Xin was already in the shower.


    Pacing outside the door, he contemted whether to open the door and just nt a fierce kiss on those soft lips. Just a taste was all he was asking for. No one ever refuses him and it was hard for him to ept Su Xin''s rejection. In his mind, he strongly felt that one kiss could get Su Xin interested in him.


    But before he could even gather the courage to turn the door handle, a clicking sound was heard and a flushed faced Su Xin emerged amidst the steamy cloud from the hot shower. Kai Zheng''s mouth ran dry in an instant with his IQ flying off to who knows where.


    Wen Qinxi eyed him suspiciously before glimpsing over all the unupied bathrooms in confusion. He was surprised to see him but he was more surprised that Kai Zheng chose to stand outside his bathroom door when there were countless others he could choose from.


    He resolutelybypassed Kai Zheng unwilling to incite trouble. He could only imagine Qie Ranzhe''s reaction if he saw this scene. Just as he reached his locker, Kai Zheng suddenly grasped Su Xin''s arm and pulled him back his intention as clear as day but Wen Qinxi wasn''t going to take that shit lying down.


    Wen Qinxi punched the man right in the face causing Kai Zheng to stagger backwards. Shocked, he stared at Su Xin in disbelief while wiping the blood seeping from the corner of his lips. "Su Xin!" he said feeling wronged but Wen Qinxi didn''t entertain him.


    "You motherfucker, you think you can kissozi just like that? Do I look like a fuckin hooker? Take that as a warning otherwise, I will put you in a hospital bed for an entire month... Shit, you fuckin getting me all worked up," said Wen Qinxi mumbling thetter sentence.


    He couldn''t believe this. He not only had to deal with the delusional prick Kai Zi but his perverse brother too. ''It must be a fuckin defected family gene,'' he thought grabbing his stuff from the locker.


    "Why are you treating me like this.... you do realise you mean nothing to him," he said but Su Xin ignored him, "Su Xin, talk to me. Don''t ignore me."


    But no matter what he said Wen Qinxi wouldn''t take the bait. He was thoroughly treated like air making him desperate which left him no choice but to drop a major warhead. "He slept with Kai Zi and they have been friends for a long time so you see why.... why he won''t keep you around for long," he said panting heavily expressing his anxiety. He had just found out that Kai Zi had a thing for Qie Ranzhe and intended to keep it to himself but he couldn''t stand being ignored by Su Xin.


    As expected, Su Xin paused in his tracks with his back towards Kai Zheng. Wen Qinxi didn''t know exactly what he was feeling at this moment. He knew they kissed and that that white lotus coveted his man but this was unexpected.


    He also knew this character slept with countless women and that logic dictates that he shouldn''t be upset about Kai Zi and Qie Ranzhe''s past endeavours. But damn it, he couldn''t help it.


    He was so infuriated clenching his fist tightly till his knuckles turned white. Seeing this Kai Zheng''s chest tightened with an inexplicable ache. He didn''t want to hurt Su Xin but neither did he want Qie Ranzhe to have him so he chose such an underhanded method as expected of a Kai family member. What he didn''t realise is that Kai Zi was using him just like how the man used Zhao Huangzhi. Yeah, this was Kai Zi''s character. Not even his blood brother could be spared from his schemes.


    Kai Zheng took a step forward and held Su Xin''s elbow testing the waters but he was immediately rejected. Wen Qinxi entered one of the rooms and changed out of the bathrobe. This entire time, Kai Zheng was standing outside trying to coax him but his efforts were futile. Wen Qinxi exited the room fully dressed and directly walked out of the private club ignoring the staff that was looking on in surprise. The film emperor was tailing a married man like a dejected puppy.

 Chapter 355: Fourth World: Hiding In The Pantry Eating Cheese Balls

    Chapter 355: Fourth World: Hiding In The Pantry Eating Cheese Balls


    Qie Ranzhe was sitting in the car about to dial Su Xin''s number when he saw him exit the private club. A sweet smile appeared on his exhausted face but it soon fell when he realised Su Xin''s mood wasn''t exactly right. His face turned a few shades darker when he saw an unexpected tail following behind Su Xin.


    He abruptly opened the door in a fit of rage and caught up to them in two strides. He was just in time to hear Su Xin yelling, "Stay the fuck away from me," in a taut voice. Qie Ranzhe pulled Su Xin behind him and faced Kai Zheng with a fierce gaze that could have a dog running away with its tail between its legs.


    Intimidating as it may seem, Kai Zheng stood his ground. If he back down now he would seem like a coward in front of his crush. Wen Qinxi pursed his lips before pulling Qie Ranzhe''s elbow. The amount of gun powdering from these two might end in bloodshed and Wen Qinxi wasn''t in the mood to watch a fight. He had other things on his mind.


    It took Wen Qinxi tugging at Qie Ranzhe five times to snap him out of it. Even then he was still glowering at Kai Zheng like a fierce demon straight out of hell. He allowed Su Xin to pull him into the car but his state of mind in this instant was not good for driving so he let Su Xin take the wheel.


    A convoy of cars drove out of the private club with neither of them saying anything. Qie Ranzhe was trying to suppress his anger with his eyes closed while Wen Qinxi was driving with a scowl on his handsome face. The awkward silence only broke when they arrived at the mansion with Wen Qinxi asking, "Is there something you want to tell me?" in a disgruntled tone.


    It was only then that Qie Ranzhe finally opened his eyes only to be met by Su Xin''s pale face and reddened eyes. The way he was gripping the steering wheel tightly gave off the feeling that he was working extremely hard to quell his emotions.


    Qie Ranzhe''s anger cooled down a few degrees sitting up straight while asking, "What''s wrong? Are you angry with me?" This question threw him off because he expected Su Xin''s anger to be directed at Kai Zheng but it turns out that wasn''t the case.


    Wen Qinxi wasn''t one to dangle a carrot in front of a donkey so he told it like it is. "You and Kai Zi.... did you?"


    Qie Ranzhe''s eyebrows creased for a second like he was trying to make sense of what Su Xin was talking about and when he finally understood his brows rxed only to tighten in the very next second.


    He swallowed hard and tried to grab Su Xin with his trembling hand but Su Xin dodged. If Qie Ranzhe wasn''t scared before then he was most definitely scared now.


    A heartbroken smile hung on Su Xin''s face as he mumbled, "I see," before opening the car door."


    Wen Qinxi knew he shouldn''t be this upset but recalling that kiss these two shared in the study he couldn''t help but eat a bucket load of vinegar. If they hadn''t slept together in the past it would be excusable. In fact, he had already let it go but knowing they had done it, it sparked an indescribable rage that wasn''t easy to suppress. ''Just get the fuck over it. It''s just sex, right?'' he thought to himself while walking into the mansion like a zombie.


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t immediately follow looking down at his hand that had just been swatted away. He was stuck in a trance his mind as nk as a sheet of paper. It took Machu opening the door for him to break out of his mental prison.


    "Ran-ge, are you okay?" asked the vexed Machu who had no idea these two were fighting.


    Qie Ranzhe brushed away the strands of hair on his forehead and said, "I want Kai Zi''s and Kai Zheng''s heads in two days. Don''te back without them," in a hoarse voice.


    Machu, "..."


    "Ran-ge that? It''s impossible to pull it off in two days," eximed Machu, "Unless if you lure him out personally." As soon as he said those words, a vicious re was sent his way inciting shivers down his spine. They already had a n in ce but two days was too short of a time to achieve this goal. He wanted to negotiate but the look on Qie Ranzhe''s face was too scary.


    Qie Ranzhe walked into the house looking for his runaway husband but he was nowhere to be found. He was still searching when he found Madam Qie and Qie Xieling getting ready for the music festival tonight.


    A lot of things had happened today that hepletely forgot about it. He had been looking forward to watching his son''s performance with his husband right beside him but now this had happened. So how were they going to go together?


    "Daddy, me and Nana are going early. Don''t forget to bring dad along," said Qie Xieling while his grandma was straightening the miniature tuxedo. The kid was especially excited because he could finally show off his dad to his ssmates. Each year he watched as other kids showed off their moms with envy. He knew he didn''t have a mommy but his dad was enough and he also wanted to brag that he has two dads.


    After he shared the fudge made by Su Xin with his entire ss, everyone was curious to meet Su Xin which is why he reminded his daddy to bring his dad along.


    "Oh, and don''t forget to bring flowers for our little superstar," said Madam Qie ruffling Qie Xieling''s neatlybed hair.


    "Ah! Nana.... you ruined it," he said patting down his hairstyle.


    "En," responded Qie Ranzhe his mind mile away. He waited for them to leave so he could go look for Su Xin. Surprisingly, he found him in the pantry sitting on the floor with a huge container of cheese balls and a half-drunk bottle of red wine. This scene was incredibly funny but he couldn''tugh unless he wanted to be divorced.


    He strode over and sat next to Su Xin without saying a word. The two men sat on the floor in silence.


    There was only a crunching and the asional chewing sounds. Qie Ranzhe reached over to wipe the orange crumbs off Su Xin''s face and whispered, "We have to go to Lin Lin''s music festival. Will you please go with me?"


    Wen Qinxi paused his chewing motion and felt his eyes stinging as his vision blurred. He was most likely going to cry so he stood up sucking back the stubborn tears and left the pantry. He didn''t want Qie Ranzhe to see him crying which is why he walked away but his actions were greatly misunderstood.


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t know how on earth he was supposed to coax Su Xin this time. So he could only follow behind and prepare for the music festival. Maybe after the programme, Su Xin will be in the mood to hear him out.

 Chapter 356: Fourth World: Pufferfish Su Xin

    Chapter 356: Fourth World: Pufferfish Su Xin


    The theatre descended into darkness with the only source of lighting from the stage and sparse lights from cellphone screens. This marked the beginning of the music festival and the theatre was packed with people from all walks of life.


    For safety and personal reasons, Qie Ranzhe had booked a private booth on the top floor. The couple and Madam Qie were seated in the booth waiting for the family''s superstar to take centre stage. Because Qie Xieling''s ss was performingst, they had to sit through other performances.


    Madam Qie noticed Su Xin was somewhat off ever since he arrived and she couldn''t help but lean towards her son to ask what was going on.


    "Who offended him? He looks like a pufferfish," whispered Madam Qie while eyeing Su Xin.


    He wasn''t rude or anything but in fact, he greeted her nicely. It''s just that he didn''t talk much which was out of character. She had a faint feeling that it had something to do with her son because he didn''t respond to any of Qie Ranzhe''s questions.


    Qie Ranzhe gripped Su Xin''s waist with his fingers rubbing against the man''s body in a soothing yet possessive action. Qie Ranzhe pursed his lips and whispered, "We are fighting." Wen Qinxi clearly heard their conversation. These two didn''t know the meaning of the word whisper so he heard everything but he yed deaf while looking straight ahead pretending not to hear anything.


    "What did you do? You better not screw this up for me," she murmured while pinching his arm. Even Madam Qie had to admit that she had grown attached to Su Xin especially after the high-speed chase. It seems her life became more interesting after Su Xin repented. She couldn''t wait to drag him along to the uingLondon Fashion Week. It was better to take Su Xin than those scathing and gossipy women. This is why she asked Qie Ranzhe not to screw this up for her.


    "Ouch.... what was that for?" murmured Qie Ranzhe after being pinched for no reason, "You clearly disliked him before yet here you are pinching me to defend his honour."


    Madam Qie squinted her eye and made an ''I am watching you'' gesture with her fingers without uttering a word.


    The two were too busy having a ssic stare down that they didn''t see Su Xin''s lips tightening as though suppressing a smile. Yes, Wen Qinxi was smiling. In all honesty, he wanted tough but held himself back. It''s not that he wasn''t angry anymore. He was still pissed off as hell but the mother and son interaction was too amusing.


    As soon as Qie Ranzhe turned to look at him, Wen Qinxi had already reestablished his sullen appearance like he wasn''t the one smiling just as second ago. Qie Ranzhe tightened his hold on Su Xin''s waist with his tender gaze fixed on the man''s side profile. At least Su Xin wasn''t rejecting him which meant they were making progress.


    His gaze fell on those pink tender lips that looked especially tantalizing in the dimly lit theatre. An inexplicable thirst rose in his throat as he hesitantly leaned in. He wanted to kiss and suck on them regardless of his mother''s presence and various onlookers. Unable to control himself, he made his move like a teenager in a dark movie theatre making a move on his crush.


    Just as he was about to stick thending, his mouth was covered by a soft palm preventing him from advancing further. Wen Qinxi slowly turned his head to re at him but his fierce look made Qie Ranzhe want to bully him some more. His eyes as dark as the deepest part of the ocean, Qie Ranzhe licked Su Xin''s palm in a provocative action that sent shivers all over Wen Qinxi''s body.


    "What the fuck," he whispered taking his hand away in astonishment. His palm was still feeling tingly where that slithering moist tongue brushed against his skin. Qie Ranzhe''s expression right now was that of a naughty child who had clearly done something wrong on purpose.


    Feeling proud of himself, Qie Ranzhe smirked before looking straight ahead pretending to be innocent.


    This entire show of affection was witnessed by a gloomy shadow in the opposite private booth. From across the theatre, Kai Zi had his opera sses covering his eyes. They were not to watch the show but spy on Su Xin and Qie Ranzhe.


    As expected, his brother delivered the news to stir up the waters so he bought a ticket for this pointless musical festival to watch the couple fight. He actually was hoping Su Xin wouldn''t show up so he could further create a rift between them. With the best seat in the house, he was prepared to see some melodramatic series but howe his promised dog blood drama turned into dog food instead?


    He could sense some tension between them but their so-called tension was more like yful flirtatious teasing.


    "Fuck!" he swore throwing the theatre sses on the floor. He didn''t know what it would take to have Su Xin dump Qie Ranzhe or the other way around. He didn''t want to resort to violence but time and time again Su Xin had touched his bottom line. Why couldn''t the man stay a g shou?


    After waiting for such a long time, Qie Xieling finally made his debut leading the pack on the stage. The boy was an uncanny resemnce to Qie Ranzhe in both facial features and temperament. He took his designated seat while scanning the audience most likely looking for his family.


    Wen Qinxi seemed to understand so he raised his brightly lit phone for the boy to see. Like a beacon of light in the darkness, Qie Xieling focused on it as an unrestrained bright smile appeared on his face stunning the boy sitting next to him. Qie Xieling was usually a stern expressionless genius except in front of his family which made that smile quite rare.


    Qie Xieling held the violin in a perfect stance with his hand on the bow painting a picturesque scene that made one enchanted. A soft melody permeated the air stimting a feeling of rxation in the audience. The performance couldn''t be described as the best in the world but these children knew how to captivate their audience by ying instruments.


    The conductor made a few hand signals resulting in the tempo speeding up into a fierce melody that resembled the chaos of a battlefield. Wen Qinxi was never one to listen to such music but even he had to admit, he was affected by it. His blood was rushing with inspiration to join the armed forces temporarily of course.


    The tempo gradually died down as a solo sound of the violin echoed in the silent theatre. Qie Xieling''s expression was downcast as he yed a sorrowful tone that made emotional people teary-eyed and one of those people was Wen Qinxi. The boy''s solo tune was short leaving one yearning for more. His solo performance came to a gradual end as simr melodies joined in from various instruments.


    By the time the performance ended the audience were entranced in their emotions that they didn''t immediately react at the end. It took several seconds for them to finally p for these children who had a bright future ahead of them.

 Chapter 357: Fourth World: Picking A Fight With A White Lotus

    Chapter 357: Fourth World: Picking A Fight With A White Lotus


    Wen Qinxi couldn''t help but be excited. He wanted to go hug this little genius and ruffle the kid''s hair to his heart''s content so he left the private booth to go backstage as soon as the curtain closed.


    Qie Ranzhe followed closely behind with Madam Qieining. They both knew she was wearing heels and had short legs so how was she supposed to keep up? It was Old Lu who provided a supporting hand leading her backstage.


    As soon as Wen Qinxi knocked on the dressing room door he was met by a short middle-aged woman with frameless sses. She was most likely the ss teacher.


    Faced by such a handsome visage, she couldn''t help but blush. Thinking he was someone''s older brother she asked, "Are you here to pick your younger brother or sister?"


    Wen Qinxi raised a brow muttering, "N-no, I am here to pick up my so-son." The ss teacher''s expression turned sour thinking kids these days are having children young. Her entire ss was within the age range of thirteen to sixteen so what was this situation?


    "Son?" she said with a dumbfounded expression on her face. But before Wen Qinxi could repeat himself, Qie Xieling yelled,


    "Su Xin!" before running into his arms with a radiant smile. She was about to ask when Qie Ranzhe''s figure appeared behind the person iming Qie Xieling as his son. Agape, she pointed at Qie Xieling then Su Xin while staring at Qie Ranzhe.


    Qie Ranzhe gave her a nod making the thunderstruck teacher walk away while scratching her head. Qie Xieling was already dragging Su Xin around introducing him to his friend with a proud look on his face. This is to say after this day Qie Xieling''s ssmates found out two things. One, Qie Xieling can actually act normal. Secondly, Qie Xieling wasn''t lying. He really had two dads and both of them were extremely handsome.


    With his flowers in hand, Madam Qie led her grandson to the car to give these two some time to talk about whatever was going on between them. As soon as Qie Xieling''s figure disappeared, Wen Qinxi said, "I need to go to the bathroom. Wait for me... I will be right back," which was an excuse of course.


    He had spotted Kai Zi when he was going downstairs earlier but at the time he didn''t pay attention because he was rushing to get to Qie Xieling.


    Now that was done, his previous grievances sprung up again with one thing in mind. Pick a fight with a white lotus. This was the only way he can vent his anger so he managed to convince Qie Ranzhe to let him go.


    ''Where the fuck is he?'' asked Wen Qinxi referring to the system while slipping into the staircase without Qie Ranzhe noticing.


    ''Boss, are you sure you want to pick a fight right here. I mean the gu-,'' said the system before it was rudely cut off by Wen Qinxi.


    The two had dealt with each other for four consecutive worlds but this was the first time Jolie felt frightened. It was an AI for heaven''s sake but Wen Qinxi frightened the virtual crap out of it.


    ''Exit the staircase on the next floor and you will find him in the corridor. Be careful... he has armed bodyguards,'' exined Jolie before silently slipping away for its own safety.


    While Wen Qinxi was preparing to ambush the unsuspecting Kai Zi, Machu had rushed over to Qie Ranzhe''s side. Qie Ranzhe was scrolling his cellphone with no Su Xin in sight so he asked, "Ran-ge, did you lose saozi or something?"


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t raise his head to respond pointing at the bathroom while saying, "He''s in there."


    "What?... Ran-ge you read my message, right? Kai Zi is here," eximed Machu seeming concerned. Qie Ranzhe immediately understood so he checked the bathroom but as expected Su Xin wasn''t in there. He reprimanded himself for being careless as he ran over to the staircase. How could he have had timeto check Machu''s message when he was preupied with coaxing his lover?


    While Qie Ranzhe was looking for him, Wen Qinxi was pushing the door to the fire escape urately striking the unsuspecting Kai Zi. The little white lotus was flung against the wall grimacing in pain but before his bodyguards could even respond, the bone-chilling muzzle of a gun was brushing against Kai Zi''s chin.


    A jealous Wen Qinxi was extremely terrifying. One could say this is the so-called ckening of a nerd. He had Kai Zi pinned against the wall with his elbow on the man''s throat and a gun on his temple. Kai Zi was bleeding from his nose from the impact of hitting the wall making his handsome face look unsightly.


    The bodyguards drew their weapons and aimed them at Su Xin with a murderous aura. "Tell them to lower their fuckin weapons otherwise I will blow your brains out right here, right now," said Wen Qinxi in a calm yet threatening tone.


    "Sta-stand the fuck down," said Kai Zi with his resentful eyes fixed on Su Xin. He was blindsided today but he vowed that would never happen again. All he had to do was live through this ordeal.


    Wen Qinxi smirked with a pair of bloodshot eyes looking straight at Kai Zi. "Good boy," he said feeling much better. This was the cure, he needed to confront the problem head-on and deal with his insecurities but this man known as Kai Zi wasn''t easy to deal with. Instead of keeping silent and let Su Xin do as he pleased, he decided to talk shit.


    "Hahaha... Su, Xin gege.... you are mad about that? Is that why you ran over here to ambush me?" said Kai Zi after letting out an evilugh. His goal was simple that is to throw off Su Xin invoking the man''s irrational side. Once a man bes irrational they expose their vulnerabilities giving the enemy a chance to take them down.


    This strategy was his best chance for survival plus he can take the opportunity to finally capture the defenceless Su Xin so he kept talking. "Have you asked him how many times we did it?" he asked but judging from Su Xin''s expression the man didn''t know the truth so he took advantage, "when you ran away for the first time he fucked me senseless for the entire night getting over you. With each year you ran off fuckin who knows what, I was lying beneath himforting him so you do the math. I bet when he''s got another one out of you he will discard you like a used condom and you know who he wille to?... Me!"


    Wen Qinxi''s expression didn''t change. Kai Zi was pretty convincing but thetter half of his speech made Wen Qinxi see the light. This asshole Kai Zi was fuckin clueless which meant everything else out of his mouth was nonsense. Because of this, Wen Qinxi suddenlyughed the kind ofugh that''s genuine and unrestrained shocking Kai Zi. He suddenly felt Kai Zi was too pitiful and not worth his time.

 Chapter 358: Fourth World: My Heart Only Beats For You

    Chapter 358: Fourth World: My Heart Only Beats For You


    If there is one pathetic person in this world it would be one who doesn''t know what''s good for them and one such person is Kai Zi. The fact that Su Xin didn''t take the bait andughed instead felt like all his efforts went to waste. He couldn''t understand where Su Xin''s confidence stemmed from. It was obvious that Qie Ranzhe hadn''t divulged the details of their rtionship so why was this man treating his words as a joke?


    Despite having failed to sow discord, he decided to take another route to achieve his goal. Not even the coolness from the muzzle of the gun on his temple could deter him.


    He was sweating bullets but that didn''t stop his trap from spewing nonsense. "Laugh all you want but you aren''t worthy of him. You are just a dirty slut who hides behind women. Hahaha, you even hid behind his mother instead of facing me like a man. Oh, that''s right you are half a man, a freak of nature. No wonder you w-.... AH! Fuck!" swore Kai Zi as a heavy-handed punchnded squarely on his jaw.


    Contrary to his expectation, Su Xin wasn''t throwing a fit. Instead he seemed calm with a murderous aura surrounding him. This script wasn''t right in the slightest. The word freak was Su Xin''s sore spot.


    He remembered this one time Su Xin''s cousin called him that in public and he lost his cool bashing the man''s car in broad daylight. But it turns out Kai Zi''s strategy didn''t work.


    Well, Wen Qinxi was extremely livid. Those words had affected him but because he was treating Kai Zi''s words as those of a dying chicken desperate and pointless he remained calm kneeing the man in the stomach with a powerful force.


    Kai Zi curled up into a ball grimacing in pain but Wen Qinxi didn''t let him lie down on the floor. Instead, he lifted him by the cor and whispered in an icy tone, "Count yourself lucky.... but consider this myst warning. Stay the fuck away from my husband if you know what''s good for you. Do you understand?"


    Only the heavens know how badly he wanted to end Kai Zi. This man was responsible for Qie Ranzhe''s destruction all because he didn''t return his love. What kind of messed up logic was that? Wen Qinxi knew the odds were currently not in his favour otherwise he would have killed him already.


    He straightened up the man''s expensive suit and put on a sly smile before turning to walk away but of course, Kai Zi wasn''t done with him. He had been given a free pass but he was just too stupid to take it. Besides, he had the backing of all his bodyguards so what should he be afraid of?


    "Haha.... who said you can leave? I am not fuckin done with you. Such a fuckin dipshit just like your son," he said after letting out an eerieugh.


    Oh man, now he had really done it. Kai Zi had finally achieved his goal that is agitating Su Xin to the point of losing his mind. Wen Qinxi could tolerate insults towards himself and Qie Ranzhe but not the ones towards Qie Xieling. Why did this fool have to bring him in this?


    His fists clenched tightly pausing in his tracks with red-rimmed eyes. He felt a raging pressure mounting up within him seeking an outlet and so without thinking much about it, he turned around and swung his fist at Kai Zi.


    The man saw stars his vision descending into darkness as he tumbled to the ground. Before the bodyguards could react, Su Xin was on top of him stricking his face multiple times. Just as the bodyguards grabbed Su Xin to take him along with them as instructed a loud gunshot pierced the air.


    When the men turned around they saw Qie Ranzhe, Machu and several men in ck suits pointing guns at them. Wen Qinxi was too immersed in beating the shit out of Kai Zi that he didn''t pay attention to his surroundings. A rush of adrenaline was coursing his veins making him seem as though he had been injected with chicken blood.


    Machu wanted to go and pull him off Kai Zi but Qie Ranzhe stopped him with an expression that seemed to say ''let him do as he pleases''.


    "I have been with him through several lifetimes and I will be with him in the next so you better fuckin know your ce," said Wen Qinxi before lowering his fist once more but before he could strike the half-awake half-unconscious Kai Zi his fist was suddenly held mid-air by a strong arm. Because he was still in a berserk state of mind, he tried to free himself from the tight grip but how could he match up against Qie Ranzhe.


    He was about to retaliate when his entire person was hauled off Kai Zi. "Put me the fuck down! I am not fuckin done with him... Kai Zi you fucker, wait forme toe back and end you!" yelled the struggling Wen Qinxi but the more he struggled the tighter the hold. He had beaten Kai Zi ck and blue already but he wasn''t satisfied. The man had the balls to insult Qie Xieling then he had the balls to take a beating.


    Qie Ranzhe only put him down when they exited the theatre via the backdoor. In a dark alleyway, Wen Qinxi was pressed against the wall by his lover creating an ambiguous atmosphere. Wen Qinxi was breathing heavily his eyes fixed on the door as though making ns for his escape and continue fighting. At this moment he seemed like a senseless bully but Kai Zi had iting.


    Qie Ranzhe gripped Su Xin''s chin and forced him to look at him.


    He wanted to ravish this man right here and couldn''t tolerate Su Xin''s mind wandering elsewhere instead of focusing on him. Watching Su Xin beat Kai Zi made his blood rush inexplicably. It was incredibly hot watching his man beat up someone for him but Kai Zi couldn''t die as yet.


    He had heard rumours about that so-called ck material collected by the Kai family and he had to get his hands on it so Kai Zi couldn''t die right now but his days were most certainly numbered.


    "Several lifetimes?" asked Qie Ranzhe with their gazes locked together as though searching through each other''s souls. Wen Qinxi felt his heartbeat quicken as Qie Ranzhe leaned over to kiss him but he was still angry that he didn''t get to beat the white lotus some more so he swatted the man''s hand off his chin.


    "How many times?" asked Wen Qinxi shoving Qie Ranzhe off him with a dark expression.


    Qie Ranzhe staggered a little as he wasn''t expecting this turn of events. He caught Su Xin''s hand and pressed it against his own chest while taking a step forward with a zing intimate gaze. Qie Ranzhe brushed Su Xin''s cheek with his thumb as a glint of obsession shed through those gorgeous phoenix eyes.


    With their foreheads pressed together, he said, "Once.... it happened once when I was too wasted thinking it was you."


    Wen Qinxi''s anger cooled by several degrees but he still had some grievances so he lowered his eyes asking, "If you weren''t interested in him then why did you keep him beside you when you knew he liked you?"


    Qie Ranzhe lifted his chin and replied confidently, "I didn''t know. I told him if he wants more out of it then we can''t be friends.... at that time he denied it saying we are just friends and it meant nothing. It was my fault that I believed him... Believe me, baby, my heart only beats for you... Do you hear it?"

 Chapter 359: Fourth World: Lin Lins First Kiss?

    Chapter 359: Fourth World: Lin Lin''s First Kiss?


    And so the crime boss confessed without even realising it. It wasn''t about a contract or physical attraction but love. He fell head over heels for this man without even noticing it. "My heart is beating for you and you alone."


    Wen Qinxi felt his ears heat up at such sugary words. Feeling bashful he pushed Qie Ranzhe away saying, "So fucking cheesy," with a light smile.


    He knew he was done for in the second world. He had already fallen for his astringent boss but each time Qie Ranzhe reciprocated his feelings he felt an indescribable joy that one had to experience to understand it.


    "Still mad?" asked Qie Ranzhe casually cing his hand on the wall in a ssic wall m.


    "Enough talking," said Wen Qinxi before clutching Qie Ranzhe''s cor drawing him closer for a passionate kiss but just as their lips touched they were suddenly interrupted.


    "What are you two doing in a dark alley..... Are you kissing?" asked the curious Qie Xieling while Madam Qie tried to cover the kid''s eyes and protect his innocence.


    Qie Ranzhe sighed in frustration and responded, "Yes, we are. Now go to the car and leave us alone," without shifting his position. It was evident that he seriously wanted to continue but the light bulb Qie Xieling wasn''t going to let that happen.


    The poor kid had heard the gunfire making him worry to death but when he saw Machu return with no ounce of anxiety he enquired about Su Xin''s whereabouts. Who would have expected he would walk up to such a scene.


    "I am hungry, nana says we have an appointment at a restaurant so quit fooling around and let''s go,"ined Qie Xieling while patting his growling tummy.


    Qie Ranzhe was about to refute and use the parent card to get him to go back when a sly smile appeared on Su Xin''s face. "Yes daddy, we are hungry so how about we put a pause on whatever this is," said Wen Qinxi with a teasing tone while making his escape.


    Qie Ranzhe held Su Xin''s hand whining, "No, no, no, five more minutes. Come on," but this crime boss lost miserably. In less than ten minutes they were sitting in a private room feasting on a grand meal while chatting it up.


    Qie Ranzhe was still dissatisfied making him a lot more clingy than usual. He was holding onto either Su Xin''s waist, hand or shoulders at every opportunity. This behaviour and the kiss in the alley earlier had Qie Xieling curious so he asked, "That... kiss. Do you do it often? How, how does it feel?"


    Qie Xieling''s question was followed by the nking sound of cutlery being dropped out of shock. Qie Ranzhe chortled lightly while taking a sip of his beer with a sly grin stered on his face. Madam Qie on the other hand smacked the kid upside his head reprimanding him.


    "That, that can only be done when you are in university. Actually no, you can only kiss someone on your wedding day... fudge! What am I saying? You are forbidden," said Wen Qinxi making a mess of things. He was just too shocked and wasn''t expecting to be addressing such things so early.


    "So... you two had your first kiss on your wedding day?" asked Qie Xieling narrowing his eyes at the two as though saying ''don''t you dare lie to me''.


    Madam Qie couldn''t believe where this conversation was headed so she tried to remedy the situation. "Eat more," while shoving a piece of beef into her grandson''s mouth.


    Just when she thought she had seeded, Qie Ranzhe spoke opening up a can of worms. "No, we did a lot of kissing before that. Like lots and lots of kissing," while starting at Su Xin with a profound gaze.


    Wen Qinxi gave him a look that seemed to ask ''why the fuck would you say that?'' but Qie Ranzhe was unmoved.


    Instead, he chose to add fuel to the fire. He turned to look at Qie Xieling and emphasized, "Lots of i-," but he didn''t get to finish when a wonton was shoved in his mouth.


    "So when did you have your first kiss?" he asked staring at his dad like a sly reporter whose goal is to catch celebrities inpromising positions.


    Wen Qinxi facepalmed pleading the 5th amendment refusing to answer but he was soon met by Qie Ranzhe''s stern expression that seemed to express his desire to know the answer.


    He really wasn''t certain on how to answer the question. In the real world, he only managed to kiss a girl in university under Wen Danzhe''s urging. Thinking about it now, it was a mere peck in a truth or dare drinking game. Looking back at it he couldn''t understand how his younger brother always got him to do things with ease.


    As for Su Xin, this character was a veteran that kissed a girl in a closet during a game of spin the bottle at eleven. Not just a simple peck but they were a little handsy as well.


    Wen Qinxi was busy weighing his options when he heard Qie Ranzhe ask, "Who was it," staring at him with a burning gaze. Wen Qinxi gulped and decided to use his real-world experience as Su Xin''s past endeavours had nothing to do with him.


    "At twenty-one, a peck in a truth or dare game," said Wen Qinxi feeling like that''s the most unromantic first kiss ever.


    Qie Ranzhe rxed a little but his hand was still sping Su Xin''s waist tightly. He downed the rest of his ss and said, "Your dad at twenty-four," staring at Su Xin. Wen Qinxi couldn''t believe it eyeing Qie Ranzhe suspiciously. Feeling the boring gaze burning through his skin, he turned to face Su Xin and exined further, "Pecks don''t count."


    ''Of course, they fuckin count,'' thought Wen Qinxi before ncing over at Madam Qie who was oddly silent acting invisible. It seemed she didn''t want to answer that question.


    "Nana, how about you?" asked Qie Xieling truly curious. If he didn''t talk to his family about this then who else would he speak to?


    "Fine, fine I will tell you. I ambushed your grandfather when we were ten years old. We were friends but some girl wanted to deliver a love letter to him so I grabbed him and smooched him. After, after that, I told him to take responsibility and ten yearster we were married," she exined giving full details on how she became Mrs Qie.


    Everyone, "..."


    "Wow," said the tongue-tied Qie Ranzhe while Wen Qinxi snickered in amusement. Now he knows where Qie Ranzhe''s shameless ck-bellied behavioures from.


    "Remember you only have one first time. Just make sure you won''t regret it in the future," exined Wen Qinxi afterughing himself to death but he realised his advice came toote after what Qie Xieling said next,


    "Oh, I was kissed by a ssmate today...."


    "Shit! Who is it? I am going to kill them... I am going to fuckin kill them!" yelled Wen Qinxi getting up to get Qie Xieling''s phone. It took Qie Ranzhe''s full strength to restrain him otherwise his wife might storm to someone''s house in the middle of the night to spank their kid. The only thing that held him back from assaulting that kid was because Qie Xieling was kissed on the cheek.

 Chapter 360: Fourth World: NSFW

    Chapter 360: Fourth World: NSFW


    Throughout history, men and women derived an inexplicable thrill and excitement from watching barbaric diator matches which is both inhumane but understandable. This kind of thrill is deeply rooted in human DNA and such a trait surfaced on a certain someone when he saw his lover beat up someone for him.


    Well, technically Su Xin beat up Kai Zi because he insulted Qie Xieling but of course, this crime boss didn''t know that. It''s for the best if he''s kept in the dark otherwise he would drown himself in gallons of vinegar.


    This kind of arousal had him pushing down Su Xin as soon as they got home and he wasn''t polite about it. He already wanted to fully possess him in the alley but it wasn''t convenient. Now with nothing holding him back, he pressed his lover down while kissing him with great zeal.


    Taken by surprise, Wen Qinxi let him do as he pleased with their lips teasing each other in a heated passionate kiss. Qie Ranzhe''s eagerness was extremely infectious that Wen Qinxi couldn''t help but groan with his body rubbing against the man''s crotch. A sweet tingly sensation spread from the tip of his head to the soles of his feet making him surrender wholly to his man.


    Qie Ranzhe wasn''t up for ying games today so he grabbed Su Xin''s hand intending to have him touch his erection but the red bruises on Su Xin''s knuckles halted his movement. His heart felt a sharp twisting pain at this sight. He had already seen it before and even rubbed some medicine on it which was an extremely difficult task. His baby kept twitching because of his fear of pain which made the task strenuous.


    Seeing those bruises again his heart ached apanied by an unfathomable exhration. He leaned down and pressed his soft lips on Su Xin''s knuckles kissing them in a doting manner. Wen Qinxi wanted to pull his hand away as it had remnants of the medicine from earlier but Qie Ranzhe wouldn''t let go.


    The astringent and bitter taste of medicine touched his senses making him want to subconsciously move away but he wanted to suffer with his lover so he kept kissing his knuckles and slowly moved down to Su Xin''s inner wrist.


    Wen Qinxi shuddered as an electric current travelled through his nerve endings making his heart itch. He had no idea being kissed like this was also thrilling. What this nerd didn''t know was that this was one of the infamous erogenous zones that can bring yfulness to one''s sex life.


    "Ah... Ran-ge... Ah!"were the inexplicable soundsing out of Wen Qinxi unable to bear the stimtion.


    Having sessfully made his lover cry out, Wen Qinxi abandoned the already pinkish wrist from all the kissing, licking and sucking and went after Su Xin''s neck like a bloodthirsty vampire that had been craving blood for centuries.


    Wen Qinxi unconsciously wrapped his legs around Qie Ranzhe''s waist with his fingers running through the man''s hair to draw him closer. His member seemed to enjoy this constant provocation that it stiffened from under his clothes.


    Qie Ranzhe unbuttoned Su Xin''s shirt while leaving lewd marks on the man''s neck eagerly marking his territory. Wen Qinxi gently pushed Qie Ranzhe away and unbuttoned his shirt as well exposing that sturdy chest he was obsessed with day and night.


    Watching his lover eyeing his chest greedily Qie Ranzhe whispered, "How about you straddle me tonight?" while cing Su Xin''s hands on his chest for his husband to feel those tight muscles and abs. Wen Qinxi gulped as the room temperature suddenly rose to a fiery inferno.


    Of course, he would love to straddle Qie Ranzhe and be in full view of that lustrous chest that closely resembled that of magic mike from the movie magic mike. This train of thought had him wondering if he already harboured such thoughts towards the opposite sex but just hadn''t realized it yet.


    Qie Ranzhe frantically shed off his clothes and plopped on the bed with a sly smile that reached his eyes. He couldn''t wait to eat his lover clean tonight. As soon as Su Xin crawled into bed, Qie Ranzhe dragged him closer and took the lubricant out of Su Xin''s hand.


    He had Su Xin sit on top of him and made him rest his head in the crevice of his (QRZ) neck. With the slippery liquid squeezed on his fingers, he inserted them one by one into Su Xin''s tight chrysanthemum while kissing the back of the man''s neck.


    Wen Qinxi shivered slightly as the warm fingers invaded his sacred ce. He stered his lips on Qie Ranzhe''s while caressing the man''s firm back making the man groan at Su Xin''s touch.


    "Ohhh, baby," were the sweet words uttered by Qie Ranzhe as he inserted a third finger into that tight spot. Wen Qinxi flinched a little trying to run but Qie Ranzhe fixed him in ce and thrust on seeking out that sweet spot that drives his lover crazy.


    After thrusting a couple of times the diligent Qie Ranzhe found it with ease and yfully teased it making the man in his arms moan without restraint. Wen Qinxi was too immersed in pleasure that he didn''t realise when Qie Ranzhe sneakily prated him fully.


    It was like having a lollipop suddenly change into a cucumber in a swift motion. "Ahhh... daddy Ran... what the fuck!"ined Wen Qinxi under the sudden attack. The man had the audacity to insert his full length in one go without coaxing him into it so he bit down on Qie Ranzhe''s shoulder to bear the pain.


    "Bite harder baby, till you get used to it," said Qie Ranzhe whispering in Su Xin''s ear. He knew he should have slowly opened him up first but he couldn''t resist. He wanted to fuck him hard and have his entire cock inside Su Xin''s body so he rubbed a generous amount of lubricant and entered without warning.


    Wen Qinxi wasn''t polite either, he bit down hard as that hot rod entered him fully. With each thrust, his teeth sank into Qie Ranzhe''s skin deeper. The pain was soon reced with a familiar wave of pleasure making his hard bird seep out thin clear liquid. His grip on Qie Ranzhe''s shoulder loosened as he began to move of his own volition. Qie Ranzhey back down and let his lover ride him to seventh heaven.


    After getting used to it, Wen Qinxi moved up and down with his hands caressing Qie Ranzhe''s chest and abdomen like a fanatic being. Wen Qinxi lost himself in his lust swaying his hips like a crazed animal in heat. "Ohhhh, yes baby... so sexy," said Qie Ranzhe while enjoying being serviced by his lover. He stroked Su Xin''s junior brother with verve instigating a high pitched groan to escape from his lover''s lips.


    Unable to hold back any longer, Qie Ranzhe turned Su Xin over resulting in himself being on top. He suddenly lifted Su Xin''s legs while whispering in his ear, "Baby, show me what you learnt in yoga ss."


    Wen Qinxi, "..."


    And the nerd received enlightenment. It wasn''t about a healthy lifestyle but a healthy sex life. His legs were lifted all the way shocking even himself. He had no idea his body could do that after a few sses. A pleased smile appeared on Qie Ranzhe''s face as he thrust inside him wiping away the shock on his man''s face.


    The sweet sounds of lovemaking echoed the room as the licentious shou let daddy Ran take him to unchartered waters in the sea of desire.


    By the time Qie Ranzhe had eaten his fill, Wen Qinxi was so exhausted that he passed out without warning. The two had done it in several positions that Wen Qinxi began to question his sexual experience. What were they doing in the past worlds then?

 Chapter 361: Fourth World: Kai Zis Bad Habit

    Chapter 361: Fourth World: Kai Zi''s Bad Habit


    On the other side of town, while others were servicing each other in bed, Kai Zi was sweeping stuff off his table in anger. Not only did he have his ass kicked in front of his bodyguards he also had to watch Qie Ranzhe carry Su Xin away with a lovesick puppy expression.


    That scene caused a piercing pain in his chest as though he was being stabbed by an ice pick straight into his heart. The pain from being punched was in no wayparable to the pain he felt inside.


    While he was throwing his temper tantrum, Kai Zheng strode in with a bag of frozen peas on his face. He had heard the sound of things smashing to the grounding from Kai Zi''s office and decided to take a look. Not even the servants were brave enough to stick around otherwise they might die for something that had nothing to do with them.


    As soon as he entered the room he halted his steps while asking, "What happened to you?"


    Kai Zi slumped into his office chair and said, "What do you think," with his fingers leisurely hanging on his forehead.


    Kai Zheng''s eyebrow twitched as a sharp pain red up where he was punched before it disappeared as quickly as it came. "Did Xin-er do this to you?" he asked sitting in the opposite chair. He knew his brother went to the music festival but he didn''t think he would get into a fight with Su Xin.


    "Don''t you dare fuckin say it," he said with a glint of anger in his eyes.


    Kai Zheng sighed deeply while pressing down the bag of frozen peas on his face. He had to go back to filming soon but couldn''t go back looking like he was hit by a bus. It seemed Su Xin wasn''t going to let go of Qie Ranzhe which left him with no choice but to quit. If only his younger brother possessed the same mentality.


    "Just let it go. Qie Ranzhe isn''t the only man in the world anyway. How about I get you a night with a top tier actor? I am pretty sure you will get over him in no time," said Kai Zheng trying to cheer him up. It is said in the Kai family that when Kai Zi is unhappy then the entire mansion is unhappy as well.


    Kai Zi abruptly opened his eyes and glowered at his brother saying, "Are you fuckin stupid? This is no longer about getting Ran-ge..... That entire family has taken things too far and it all started with that slut Su Xin!"


    Kai Zheng''s brows furrowed not understanding what his brother was raving about. "What do you mean?.... Aren''t you overthinking it?"


    "Tsk, so fuckin blind. That pain in the ass started this mess. Do you know why mum went overseas to have another stic surgery? That brat Xieling insulted mum''s face to defend Su Xin. Madam Qie insulted mum in a text calling her an over-tanned used condom all in the name of Su Xin. Su Xin this, Su Xin that, everyone has Su Xin on their lips even you. Now Ran-ge my friend since childhood watched on as that slut disfigured my face. Tsk... that slut has to die. Come a day after the annual celebration I am going to skin that slut alive," yelled Kai Zi before tossing his ss of whiskey straight into the wall.


    "I..., just take it easy, okay? I mean you can''t offend Qie Ranzhe. You know how much power he possesses," said Kai Zheng tossing the bag of peas on the table.


    "Not for long," replied Kai Zi seething with anger.


    "How about you kill something to soothe your temper. You know how grandma can''t stand loud noises. Let''s go outside and you can pick whomever you want to kill tonight," suggested Kai Zheng in a natural tone as though what he was saying was the most casual thing in the world.


    Yes, Kai Zi was a little crazy and when he''s upset the only thing that can calm him down is killing someone. This is why the Kai family had an extensive insurance policy for their servants cause one would never know who the second young master will kill next. It was such a well-kept secret that the usually calm and sensible Kai Zi had a dark side that the world shouldn''t see.


    Kai Zi seemed to agree and let his brother lead him to vent out his frustrations. It''s just that Kai Zheng underestimated his brother''s hate for Su Xin by arge margin. Kai Zi had four servants wear a printed face of Su Xin and shot at them while cursing them as though shooting at the actual culprit. That night there was so much bloodshed in the Kai Mansion with countless servants murdered in cold blood.


    ***


    Wen Qinxi naturally had no idea how insane that white lotus was and he was about to jump into the pit of fire with no knowledge of it. He was in an extremely good mood while packing up a ck duffel bag in the warehouse preparing to set off and rob Kai Zi blind.


    "Gege, you are glowing today. Did something good happen?" asked Li Meimei propping her head up with her elbows on the table? She looked extremely adorable in her ck beanie hat and pink lipstick while coaxing information out of Su Xin.


    It wasn''t only the glow but that purple bruise on Si Xin''s neck that had her curious but of course, Wen Qinxi wasn''t going to say anything. She hopped on the table and crossed her legs with her hands lying t on the surface. "I always wondered how it feels between guys. How about you share and I swear I won''t tell anyone?" she said with a sly smile but she didn''t get a chance to press the matter further because some car freak was revving the engine like a maniac.


    That person could only be Casio who was enjoying the neon green bugatti gifted to him by Su Xin for the mission of course. He swooned over the best getaway car in the world with a radiant smile. The kind of smile a man usually has for a lover.


    "You piece of shit! Can''t you see I am trying to get some information out of Gege? Keep it down," she yelled before turning back to Su Xin with a sweet smile, "carry on. You were saying?" Just as she said that the engine was revved again but this time it was louder than before as joyousughter escaped Casio''s throat.


    "You!.... tsk, get the fuck out of the car," said Li Meimei jumping off the table to beat the crap out of Casio. Well, her threat worked because Casio ran out of the car in an instant but Li Meimei didn''t stop there. While the two were ying a game of cat and mouse, Ting-ge stood next to Su Xin and asked, "What''s the percentage of sess... I mean look at them? They don''t look like they can pull it off."


    Wen Qinxi paused as though calcting in his mind before responding, "95%. The 5% is just in case Mei-Jie can''t keep her mouth shut." He zipped shut the duffel bag and pat the man''s shoulder saying, "Rx, what could go wrong?" before walking away.


    "How about Qie Ranzhe?" asked Ting-ge turning around to face Su Xin''s departing back.


    Wen Qinxi tossed the bag into a ck van and answered after a slight pause, "Don''t worry, he won''t be a problem."


    Ha! As if! What this nerd didn''t know was that his sneakers had an inbuilt tracker. Whatever step he took Qie Ranzhe would know about it.

 Chapter 362: Fourth World: Su Xin Vs Kai Zis Pets

    Chapter 362: Fourth World: Su Xin Vs Kai Zi''s Pets


    It''s a well-known fact that a handful of patience is worth more than a bushel of brains but this nerd was at his wit''s end with Li Meimei. They were confined in a small vent crawling to the vault but the girl wouldn''t stop talking making this nerd feel like pulling out his hair.


    How did he end up in a cramped space with a chatterbox that couldn''t read the situation? Well, one would have to go back to an hour ago.


    The two vehicles one van and one sports car were parked near a forest at the edge of the Kai Mansion with the culprits preparing for a gueri warfare type of strategy.


    Wen Qinxi was just going through the n to make sure everyone understood what they were meant to do. After exining in detail he asked if they understood but Li Meimei who was chewing some gum crouching down next to him asked, "But Gege why did you buy a glow stick of a car? It''s like a moving bull''s eye. If we have to make a break for it wouldn''t it be easy for us to be captured?"


    Wen Qinxi understood her concern and exined, "Twenty kilometres from here there is a drag race happening so we can blend in if shit goes down," while checking his hardware with a stern expression.


    "I will be waiting for your signal... good luck," said Casio while fitting in his earpiece into his ear but Li Meimei was displeased so she attacked directly.


    "Says the guy who has to do nothing but wait in a car.... what other skill do you have apart from driving a car? No shit, I can also drive a car so what gives?" she rumbled on but no one held it against her because this is what happens when she''s nervous. Picking fights with the weakest link.


    "Aiyo Jiejie..... if you have the ability let''s race after this. Pfft... we have all seen your driving skills. Even my family''s pet can drive better than you. Stay in yourne..... oh shit!" yelled Casio nearly missing a flying kick from Li Meimei. He immediately opened the van door and ran out.


    "Xin-ge, look she''s hitting people. If my leg gets injured will you drive us out of here? We might as well surrender now... AAAHHHHH! I was wrong.... fuck not my ear." It can only be said that Li Meimei provokes people when nervous but Casio turns stupidly brave when he is nervous which is only phase one of the three phases. One can only imagine the cocktail created by that mess.


    Wen Qinxi ignored the two people and said to Ting-ge who was loading a tranquillizer gun, "You know where to go. I need them to take a long nap."


    Ting-ge''s lips twitched displeased with the matter. "Why can''t I just smoke them. Tranqs are child''s y," he said while ring at the tranquillizer dart with a dark expression.


    "The service workers are just hired help. They don''t deserve to die for the Kai family....," he said before zipping up his hoodie, "it would be great if you don''t kill anyone tonight but of course, if we get caught then you can do as you please."


    An eerie smile appeared on Ting-ge''s face with his gaze fixed on the ck duffel bag loaded with who knows what. Wen Qinxi had a slight suspicion that Ting-ge was secretly hoping something would go wrong so he can y with his toys.


    "Geez, at least try and hide your nasty thoughts. Your entire face spells homicide right now," said Wen Qinxi before hopping out of the van.


    He dragged Li Meimei off Casio and vanished into the thick bushes. The two vehicles silently disappeared as well into the moonless night. The dense forest was dead silent with the asional sound of crickets chirping and the rustling sound of their shoes stepping on dry leaves.


    The two dark figures reached the fence of the Kai Mansion and Wen Qinxi used a small drill to create a pin-sized hole before pushing through an endoscope. In a split second live footage appeared on Wen Qinxi''s phone disying what was on the other side of the wall. "Clear, let''s go," he whispered before addressing Ting-ge through the earpiece, "Dage, you in position?"


    "En," replied Ting-ge lying t on a hilltop in proximity to the Kai Mansion. He was looking through the sniper scope watching the two figures jump over the fence. "It seemed the Kai family did some spring cleaning. I saw them taking outundry at the back so be careful. I can also blow up the entire mansion if shit goes sideways."


    What Ting-ge was referring to was the body bags with the bodies of the servants Kai Zi killed to vent out his frustrations. He had seen a few armed guards tossing them at the back of a van. Because this was his line of work, he could easily identify what it was.


    "Just watch our backs... did you catch wind of some service workers?" asked Wen Qinxi with the two of them squatting behind some palm trees. The Kai family had hired a cateringpany for the grand event and Wen Qinxi intended to rece them so he could get ess to the mansion.


    This is why he asked Ting-ge to knock out two of them with the tranqs so they could rece them. "Still looking. Give me a minute," said Ting-ge checking around for some service workers cking off. Because he was looking elsewhere around the property, he didn''t notice something was off.


    "Gege, how long do I have to squat here? Dage, hurry up this aunty is on her bloody mary,"ined Li Meimei feeling like she was going to give birth to her tampon while squatting here.


    "Oh my gosh. Mei-Jie, TMI. I am a man for heaven''s sake,"ined Wen Qinxi in a loud whisper but the period talk ended abruptly when loud growling sounds were hearding from behind them. All they could see in the dark were two pairs of red sinister eyes and sharp canines.


    "What the fuck? Gege it''s a fuckin wolf," said a frozen stiff Li Meimei. Give her guns and vaults she can handle it. Give her dogs then you might as well kill her right now. Her blood ran cold, not sure whether to run away or stay. If she ran then she would ruin the entire mission so she could only tightly clutch Su Xin''s clothes with her trembling hands.


    Wen Qinxi was also terrified. Those dogs didn''t look normal but he wasn''t going to let four-legged creatures ruin everything. He pulled Li Meimei behind him with his foreheadced in ayer of sweat. Every nerve in his body was tensed up as he stammered, "Ting-ge, cacan, can you take care of them?"


    Ting-ge responded quickly while looking through the scope. "I can but lure them out. The trees are obstructing my view," exined Ting-ge with his finger on the trigger ready to shoot at any given time.


    "Fuck!" swore Wen Qinxi as the snarling creatures emerged from the shadows. His heart leapt out of his chest seeing those sharp canines and slobber slipping out of their mouths. ''These aren''t dogs but fuckin saber tooth tigers better yet fuckin werewolves,'' thought Wen Qinxi his blood running cold.


    "Gege, we are going to die," she whispered but as soon as she uttered those words she was lifted from the ground in one fell swoop before making a break for it. Wen Qinxi wasn''t the macho type but he actually ran with a 132-pounddy on his shoulder. Maybe it was the rush of adrenaline or fear of death that gave him the strength to carry someone and escape with their lives.

 Chapter 363: Fourth World: Dogs Also Need Some Privacy

    Chapter 363: Fourth World: Dogs Also Need Some Privacy


    The vicious dogs didn''t relent but in fact loved this kind of game of ying with their prey before mealtime. Loud barking sounds followed after the two humans who were about to be dog food that is in the literal sense.


    The bigger dog leapt up to take a nibble out of the surprisingly well behaved Li Meimei making the girl gape in horror. She couldn''t understand why Su Xin had to carry her this way with her head facing the iing creatures. She cried tears of blood cursing Kai Zi to death.


    Was this the end of her pretty self with her head beaten off? ''Aaaahhhhh, no! I still want to look pretty before cremation,'' she screamed internally as that vile looking creature leapt up a second time.


    Just when she thought it was game over a dart wheezed past her and struck the dog in the stomach. The ferocious beast whimpered and hit the ground with a loud thud but the tranquillizer hadn''t taken effect yet so it got up and shook its body as the second dog ran past it.


    Just as it caught up with itsrade in arms, the dog in front suddenly tumbled to the ground as another tranquillizer dart pierced the dog''s foreleg. The two dogs crashed into each other like dominos but they hadn''t given up the fight yet. How can they let go of fresh meat given to them by the heavens?


    What they didn''t know was that Ting-ge had borrowed the hand of buddha to tame unruly beasts. Several shots were fired effectively putting the vicious creatures to sleep like obedient pups.


    Wen Qinxi and Li Meimei had already reached the fence. He was giving her a boost to climb over when they heard the whimpers of the drugged beasts behind them. It''s a shame, no matter how they tried to get up they simply staggered like a drunk uncleing from a tavern.


    The two paused looking backwards with one stepping on the other''s interlocked fingers to climb over the fence creating aical scene. A feeling of relief washed over Wen Qinxi''s face as he abruptly put his hands down forgetting Li Meimei was stepping on them.


    "Aaaaaahhhhh, gege are you fuckin kidding me?"ined Li Meimei who was hanging for dear life on the wall. Wen Qinxi immediately understood but he was too slow to react which meant Li Meimei ate dirt in a matter of seconds. She wasn''t the exercising type which meant she couldn''t hold up her weight on the three-meter wall for long.


    "Shit! Pei, Pei," she said spitting out mud before pointing a finger at Su Xin, "Pei, gege you are so fuckin mean. You.....mmmm" Li Meimei didn''t get to finish lodging herint because Wen Qinxi covered her mouth and gestured for her to keep quiet.


    He immediately let her go and approached the sleeping dogs to take away all the tranquillizer darts before fixing their sleeping posture to make it look natural. Well, natural in quotation marks.


    He then pulled Li Meimei into the nearby bushes to hide. In less than five minutes, a pair of armed guards approached the area. The sound of the barking dogs attracted their attention earlier but because these dogs are at the top of the food chain in the entirepound they hesitated to approach. Yes, even these brawny men were scared of these creatures as they were higher in status than the entire security team.


    If the mutts bit one of them, they weren''t allowed to touch the dogs. ording to the rules, only coaxing was allowed. This is why they dyed despite hearing the dogs barking. "What tha.... hahaha what are they doing?" asked the first man while pointing a shlight at the dogs sleeping in a suggestive posture. To be precise, one dog was lying on top of the other.


    To onlookers, it looked like they slept right in the middle of doing the birds and the bees cough* cough* coitus. This was all Wen Qinxi''s doing.


    Li Meimei''s face scrunched up before staring at Su Xin with a WTF expression. Wen Qinxi replied with a ''what'' expression before signing that he didn''t have enough time. It wasn''t on purpose but those dogswere too heavy and he was running out of time. Who would have expected he would put the dogs inpromising positions.


    "Ahem... let''s give them some privacy otherwise demon Zi will gouge out our eyes for disturbing his dogs," said the second man.


    "But aren''t they both male?" said the first man lightly kicking the one on top to see but his foot was kicked away instead. "Aiyo...ah, senior do you want to cripple me?" he cried out in pain while limping.


    "You must be tired of living. Let''s get the fuck out of here," said the second man before pressing down on his radio.


    A clicking sound followed by some static was heard before he said, "Reporting! All clear! Over!"


    The man on the other end of the radio responded immediately asking, "What were the young masters barking at? Over!"


    The second man sighed before hesitating to say, "Just some dogs having a good time. Over!"


    Chuush.


    "Good time? What do you mean by good time? Over!"


    Chussh.


    If he wasn''t frustrated before he was most definitely frustrated right now. He pressed down the button and said, "Coitus damn it! They''re fuckin having coitus!... Over!"


    Chuush.


    "HAHAHAHAHA!!! Aren''t they both male? Over!"


    "Fuck this," said the frustrated man throwing the radio at his colleague before storming away in anger.


    "Uh? Senior.... are you angry? Wait for me," said the first man with the sound ofughtering from the radio.


    Wen Qinxi, "...."


    "Gege you are so naughty.... hahahaha," said Li Meimei shoving Su Xin''s shoulder. Wen Qinxi''s face was green with ck lines on his forehead. How was he supposed to know this situation would have such a bizarre development.


    Ting-ge couldn''t resist making fun of him as he heard the entire conversation from the earpiece. "Wow.... that was incredibly smart."


    "It wasn''t on purpose," said Wen Qinxi wishing the ground could just open up and swallow him. "So fuckin embarrassing."


    "Sure, sure gege. You absolutely did not do it on purpose," replied Li Meimei in a sarcastic tone with a sly smile.


    "Wait, didn''t do what on purpose? What''s going on? Did I miss out on something?" asked Casio who had been too focused on pampering his new wife, trantion the car.


    "You, stop interfering in adult conversations and y with your toy," said Li Meimei fixing her earpiece.


    A sly smile appeared on Casio''s face as he said, "Which toy exactly?" It was obvious he was referring to his bird. This was the second phase of Casio''s nervousness, saying inappropriate jokes.


    "Stop fuckin spamming the channel you little pervert," said Li Meimei wishing she could get into the earpiece ande out at Casio''s earpiece and strangle him to death.


    "It''s not little, I promise,"


    Li Meimei, "...."


    Ting-ge, "hahahaha."


    Wen Qinxi, "WTF"


    "Just do us a favour and shut your trap. I am begging you," said Wen Qinxi before dragging Li Meimei towards the Mansion at a fast pace. His words entered one ear and left the other because these two didn''t stop bickering for a long time.

 Chapter 364: Fourth World: Li Meimeis Promotion To Bathroom Attendant

    Chapter 364: Fourth World: Li Meimei''s Promotion To Bathroom Attendant


    As the saying goes as you sow, so shall you reap like these two unfortunate souls who ended up with tranquillizer darts in their arses. These two could bebelled as adulterers who couldn''t hold back their desires. Instead of working, they exited the kitchen one after another iming to be having a smoke break.


    The so-called smoke break was actually a make-out session between a man and a woman who already had a boyfriend. Karma is truly a bitch of a unique variety. Under the heavy influence of the sedative, the two copsed on top of each other with the man''s forehead bumping into the woman''s nose. Wen Qinxi was pretty sure her nose was broken in the process.


    The two dragged their victims away and stole their clothes before changing into the waiter''s outfits. Once Li Meimei was done she left the knocked out woman in the shed before going outside to look for her benefactor. "Wow, gege you look dashing in a penguin suit," said Li Meimeiplimenting Su Xin who was buttoning the top button of his shirt. It was a little tight as the waiter was a head shorter than him but he had no other choice.


    "Thanks," replied Wen Qinxi before dragging the unconscious man in the shed as well. "How long will they be napping?"


    "Don''t worry about them, they will be knocked out cold for at least eight hours," replied Ting-ge while watching them through the sniper scope, "I do suggest you guys get going otherwise it would be hard to pull this off when the party is over."


    "No shit.... this is all that psycho''s fault. I don''t even know what type of breed of dog was that,"ined Wen Qinxi while leading Li Meimei to the back door of the mansion. As soon as that door opened, Li Meimei beamed with her eyes sparkling like the starry night. The words ''food, food, lots and lots of food'' were echoing in her mind making her standstill in a stupor.


    As they stepped past the threshold, Wen Qinxi''s path was suddenly blocked by a sterndy wearing rimless sses and a tight pencil skirt. Wen Qinxi wanted to say something but his eyes travelled downwards only to see the badge on the mountainous chest written ''supervisor. ''Crap!'' he thought swallowing back down the words he wanted to say.


    She pulled down her blouse and cleared her throat before asking, "And you. Where have you been?"


    Wen Qinxi didn''t know if she was talking to him so he pointed at himself with a puzzled expression. Shouldn''t her question be who are you or something? Doesn''t she know her employees? Wen Qinxi had already prepared a set of lies and created an employee tag for himself and Li Meimei by hacking the servicepany''s server in advance, so what was this situation?


    "With such a face you should be in front serving drinks. Remember our guests cherish a strong face value..... oh and I highly suggest you do whatever is asked of you. You wouldn''t want to offend any of them," she said before slipping something into his pocket.


    "Now chop chop, we have guests to serve," she said shoving him towards a station with trays.


    Wen Qinxi stared back at her dazedly before curiously opening his chest pocket to see what the woman slipped in there.


    "Fuck," he swore through gritted teeth, ''What is this? Am I here to serve drinks or service the guests,'' he thought feeling sympathetic for the employees. The supervisor had slipped a condom in his pocket and based on her words, he was being pimped out.


    Li Meimei was about to follow behind Su Xin when the woman stopped her saying, "Where do you think you are going?"


    Confused Li Meimei hesitantly pointed at the exit to the main hall but the woman''s next words made her want to smash the dinner te next to her right on top of the woman''s head. "Your looks are average at best but I do have a perfect job for you," said the supervisor arrogantly looking down on Li Meimei.


    Five minutester Li Meimei was ranting through her earpiece cursing the supervisor and her ancestors out. "Such a fuckin bitch. How are my looks considered average? Average! She''s fuckin blind that''s her problem," she grumbled while storming to the upstairs bathroom.


    Wen Qinxi casually smiled as a guest took a champagne ss from his tray then replied in a whisper while seeking a way out. "Stopining and meet me in the storage room in ten minutes. I am the one who should beining... If I stay here for any second longer I am afraid I will be exposed."


    "Mie-Jie, what job did she give you?" asked Casio out of curiosity. Whatever the task is, it must be that horrible if it made Li Meimei this upset.


    "Bathroom attendant," she whispered in a barely audible voice but everyone heard her loud and clear including Casio but of course, he wouldn''t let her off that easy.


    "What? I didn''t hear that," said the brazen Casio intentionally poking the bear.


    "Bathroom attendant. I said bathroom attendant damn it," said Li Meimei fighting the urge to go back and snap that woman''s neck.


    "Haha... Say it loud and proud sister," said Casio finding pleasure in teasing Li Meimei.


    "Fuck you," she said before slipping into the store room. She vowed to pay Casio back ten times once she''s done with this mission. That brat needed a proper beating.


    "Don''t worry. She''s just jealous of you," said Ting-ge trying to smooth things over.


    Wen Qinxi didn''t really pay attention to what they were saying as he slipped out of the main hall. It''s a good thing he did because Kai Zheng and Kai Zi happened to enter the main hall after that marking the beginning of the annual g.


    He turned into a deserted corridor heading for the stairs. The Kai Mansion design was more like a grand hotel than a home which meant there was more than one staircase. He opened the store room and found Li Meimei already in ck tight-fitting clothes that she was wearing underneath the waitress'' clothes. Wen Qinxi took off his penguin suit as well while Li Meimei climbed up the shelves to unscrew the air vent.


    "I didn''t even get to eat some fuckin shrimps,"ined Li Meimei while unscrewing thest screw.


    "I will buy anything you want after thi-.... wait, what? Shrimps?" replied Wen Qinxi with aplicated expression.


    Li Meimei set the vent cover aside and climbed up before peeking her head out looking down at Su Xin. "Yeah, shrimps that''s plural for shrimp," she said before slipping back into the vent.

 Chapter 365: Fourth World: Shrimp or Shrimps

    Chapter 365: Fourth World: Shrimp or Shrimps


    Wen Qinxi climbed up and slid into the vent as well. He put back the vent cover securing it in ce while saying, "No, the plural of shrimp is shrimp. Right Ting-ge?"


    "How am I supposed to know, I am allergic to seafood," replied Ting-ge through the earpiece while rolling his eyes at these two who were arguing about such trivial matters at a crucial moment.


    "Definitely shrimp. Shrimps kinda sounds wrong," said Casio before modifying his voice to sound funny, "Oh, look at those red juicy shrimps... Nah definitely shrimp."


    The two people crawled through the crammed vent which warrants silence but Li Meimei didn''t like being wrong so she said, "Fine then what''s the plural for money or better yet, is it people or peoples? Casio, you need to fuckin go back to school."


    Feeling wronged Casio''s tone was harbouring grievance while saying, "Hey, why didn''t you say it to Xin-ge? He thinks the same way I do."


    "Everyone ssshhh, we can discuss thister....," said Wen Qinxi in a whisper but of course, he was alsopetitive so he said after a long silence, "And yes, I and Casio are right. Mie-Jie needs to go back to school."


    "Hahaha... there you have it. The boss has spoken," said Casio feeling pretty good about himself.


    "Bunch of assholes," cursed Li Meimei in a low whisper before turning left into a much bigger vent.


    Wen Qinxi chuckled lightly before pausing his actions. In front of them were crisscrossedser beams preventing them from advancing further. If they so much as coughed on it, it would trigger the rm and they would have bullets fired into the vent within five seconds. Wen Qinxi gestured for her to keep silent and began to fiddle with the wall of the vent seeking out the position of the photodetector.


    In under a minute he screwed with it tricking it into thinking the circuit was still intact. The redsers suddenly vanished but the rm wasn''t tripped. Pleased with his mechanic skills, Wen Qinxi smiled and crossed over the threshold. Li Meimei couldn''t stop singing praises as they reached the vent cover directly above the entrance of the vault.


    "Your turn," said Wen Qinxi while hacking the camera surveince making it rey in a loop for the security office.


    Li Meimei attached a pulley on the top of the vent roof while saying, "You better not fucking drop me, gege." She secured her harness before opening up the vent. Nervous, she exhaled deeply before slipping out of the vent with Su Xin lowering her down.


    As soon as she reached the ground, Wen Qinxi received a message on his phone that had him sweating bullets. Who else could it be other than Qie Ranzhe? He had excused himself saying he was going to party with Ting-ge and the crew but of course, that was a lie. Now Qie Ranzhe was asking for his whereabouts.


    DaddyRan: Baby, it''ste.


    DaddyRan: Tell me where you are so I can pick you up.


    Wen Qinxi was about to type out a response when Li Meimei whispered to him while tugging the rope in a panic. "Gege, someone ising. Pull me up. Pull me up," while jumping up and down waving her hands around like a frantic lunatic.


    "Shit," swore Wen Qinxi putting his phone in his pocket before grabbing the rope to pull her up, "so fuckin heavy."


    "Who are you calling heavy?" she retorted as she re-entered the vent. The two scrambled to put back the vent cover sweating like pigs. It was because of this reason a screw slipped out of Li Meimei''s hand as it obeyed the force of gravity falling to the ground below.


    Unfortunately for them, it was just at that time that a man with a scar across his face entered the passageway heading for the vault. ''Fuck, fuck, fuck,'' swore Wen Qinxi internally with his blood running cold. If that screw attracts the man''s attention then they are both dead. He was about to tell Li Meimei to initiate the escape n but the man merely looked around at the sound of a screw hitting the ground.


    The two people in the vent held their breaths hoping scarface doesn''t see the screw rolling at his feet. For a moment they thought they were out of luck but the man didn''t investigate further opening the vault with ease before entering. He didn''t stay in there for long though exiting empty-handed.


    Wen Qinxi heaved a sigh of relief once the man was gone but it was at that moment that he received another message from Qie Ranzhe making him rub his forehead in frustration.


    DaddyRan: Replyingte?


    DaddyRan: You owe me a punishment once you get back.


    Wen Qinxi didn''t want to guess what sort of punishment Qie Ranzhe woulde up with so he urged Li Meimei to carry on so they could leave this ce as soon as possible otherwise the punishments might umte.


    He replied to Qie Ranzhe''s message and jumped out of the vent. As soon as Li Meimei opened the vault, Wen Qinxi grabbed hold of the fire extinguisher and removed the safety pin as they entered a thief''s paradise.


    Wen Qinxi aimed the nozzle of the fire extinguisher at the heat sensor in the vault before searching around for anything that closely resembled files or documents. The longer he stayed in the vault searching the more his heart sank. This didn''t make sense. He was fairly certain he would find the ck material here. He couldn''t be wrong.


    While Wen Qinxi was scratching his head trying to figure out where it could be, Li Meimei was looting like a bandit grabbing all those pretty things and shoving them inside her pockets.


    "Gege, do you think this is pretty?" she said holding up an expensive ne with pink diamonds. Wen Qinxi just nced at her and carried on looking. He had no time to be entertaining this little piggy.


    Li Meimei pouted while mumbling, "You are no fun... Wah! What tha," she said when another sliding door opened when she touched the shelf by mistake.


    The two people stared fixedly at a safe within a safe revealed after the door slid open. This had to be it. It made sense because all the diamond in this vault were of lesser value than that information so of course, there would be greater security.


    "Mei-er, can you break into it?" asked Wen Qinxi dazedly.


    Li Meimei cracked her knuckles and said, "Of course," with a glint of excitement in her eyes. It was time to make her ancestors proud.

 Chapter 366: Fourth World: Scar-Faced Man

    Chapter 366: Fourth World: Scar-Faced Man


    In the silent vault, two people stood in front of a sophisticated safe in awe. At first sight, it seemed easy but after careful deliberation, it proved to be a challenge. There was no way Li Meimei would be able to manage it which meant such a task would take a long time toplete and they were tight on time.


    Wen Qinxi shut the vault door and turned on the small camera he left in the vent to warn him if anyone wasing. He had experienced multiple nerve-wracking situations ever since he entered this game but this was by far the worst. If that psycho Kai Zi caught him in the act, he would be skinned alive and hung on a pole to serve as a warning.


    The thought of his skin being peeled alive sent shivers down his spine. Unwilling to die such a terrible death, he returned by Li Meimei''s side and they began to specte on the best method to solve the problem.


    "What the fuck! Gege I can''t crack it using the usual methods neither can we blow it up," she said caressing the safe like an obsessed lover.


    "Also I can''t get it wrong otherwise it will alert the safe owner. We only have one shot at this," she said but her face remained mesmerised.


    Li Meimei squatted on the ground to search through her tools while Wen Qinxi paced up and down trying to figure out a n. From what Li Meimei exined earlier such a safe was equipped with multiple anti-cracking systems that even the best of the best would kneel in defeat. Since this task was nearly impossible toplete then how was he supposed to pass this world?


    Wen Qinxi ced both his hands on his head wondering if they should simply give up when a sudden thought crossed his mind. Kai Zi is like an obsessed maniac with only one person in his sight. A high percentage poption of young adults use their crush or partner''s name or birthday as a password.


    Be it on their cellphones, emails or bank cards. This isn''t simply an assumption but his research in his final year in university uncovered such statistics. Could it be this simple? Could Kai Zi be one of those people who would use such a method?


    It seemed like a far fetched idea especially when Kai Zi is like a big viin in this world but it was most certainly worth a shot. They already hit a wall and it wouldn''t hurt giving it a shot.


    "Get ready to run just in case," he said to Li Meimei with an imperative tone. She initially wanted to stop him but his tone had her packing at light speed. If that rm goes off they only had two minutes to get out of this ce.


    "Ready," she said after packing everything away. She knew she could crack that safe but it meant they would have to spend an entire day in the vault which they didn''t have. A stream of cold sweat ran down her back as she readied herself for the worst-case scenario.


    The two stared at each other and would flinch with each turn of the dial. Even the clicking sound that safe crackers are sensitive to couldn''t be heard. It was dead silent in one of the world''s wealthiest vaults. Wen Qinxi held his breath at thest number while reciting a mantra for sess.


    This was the deciding moment. If he fails then he would suffer a traumatic death under Kai Zi''s hand. He vowed to send Qie Ranzhe a message right before capture. Hopefully, he would arrive in time to rescue him.


    Wen Qinxi closed his eyes in anticipation but the rm didn''t go off. Instead, it was the clicking sound of the safe door opening that attracted his attention. "Ha, ha.... holy shit.... it opened," cried out Li Meimei after releasing a breath.


    The two were ted as they opened the door fully but their faces sank when they realised the safe was empty apart from a ck calling card with a red scar like drawing at the centre.


    Wen Qinxi felt a sharp pain in his chest with his hands trembling. "What the fuck?" muttered Li Meimei but Wen Qinxi''s brain was in turmoil trying to figure out what this meant.


    "Scarface," he mumbled heading for the door.


    "What?" asked Li Meimei following in his footsteps.


    "That man with a scar. He did this. Let''s get the fuck out of here," he said but because he didn''t close the safe door in time the rm automatically went off. "Shit! Now, now, let''s move," he said before dragging Li Meimei to the corridor. In a matter of minutes, the two were back in the vent crawling back where they came from.


    "Change of ns, Ting-ge. We need a distraction," said Wen Qinxi while wiggling through the vents. Someone had beat them to it yet they were the ones who suffered losses.


    "What?" asked Ting-ge unable to make up what Su Xin was saying due to the deafening rm.


    "Dist-raction. Blow something up damnit," said Wen Qinxi as they slid out of the vents back into the store room. What they didn''t expect was to find a couple making out with the woman''s legs wrapped around the man''s waist like an octopus.


    "AAAAAHHHH!" screamed the woman trying to pull down her silky red dress that was riding above her knees.


    Li Meimei pointed a gun at the two while Wen Qinxi struck the back of the man''s neck knocking him out. Li Meimei was in no mood to y around tying the woman in a swift motion. "Sorry," she said while Wen Qinxi stuck his head out of the door to scout the situation. Just when his head stuck out a loud explosion was heard shaking the Kai Mansion at its core.


    There could only be one person capable of such a thing and that person was Ting-ge.


    ***


    Ten minutes before the explosion.


    A few meters away from the Kai Mansion a ck maybach was pulling over in front of an SUV. The driver''s door was soon opened and a tall man with a scar across his face exited the vehicle before entering the SUV.


    A stack of documents was taken out of his coat handing them to Qie Ranzhe. "It was as you said," exined the scar-faced man.


    Qie Ranzhe grinned maliciously while handing the documents over to Machu to take a look at. After sifting through the documents, Machu smiled and said, "Everything is here. Should we storm the Kai Mansion now, boss?"


    "En," replied Qie Ranzhe as the scar-faced man exited the car. Just as he said that arge earth-shaking tremor was felt making the vehicle upants subconsciously ducked down.

 Chapter 367: Fourth World: Game Over

    Chapter 367: Fourth World: Game Over


    A cloud of smoke appeared in the distance and there was no need to guess what had happened. Someone had blown up the Kai Mansion.


    Qie Ranzhe was about to instruct Machu to head over to the Kai Mansion when he noticed a neon green sports car fly past theming from that direction. One look at it and he could recognize who it was.


    A week ago his naughty husband purchased the exact same car cash. At the time he thought it was an early onset of a midlife crisis but it turns out it was for this. While this thought was racing in his mind, five ck SUVs and three motorcycles shed past them in pursuit. "Shit! Follow them,"manded Qie Ranzhe taking out his handgun ready to rescue his lover.


    He had screwed over Su Xin on purpose. That''s because he wanted to teach his husband a lesson for doing things without him but his n went to shit. He wanted to storm the Kai Mansion and violently kick the door down to rescue his sweetheart but who would have thought Su Xin would blow the entire ce up and escape in a speed chase.


    ***


    Wen Qinxi was obviously unaware that the person who screwed him over was Qie Ranzhe as they sped down the road. They had blown out half of the Kai Mansion as a diversion but who would have thought Kai Zheng would catch his shadow outside the window.


    "Su! Xin!" was what the man yelled at that moment selling him out.


    Soon after Kai Zi also peeked out of the window when his brother said that and sure enough Su Xin was outside staring back at them with an arrogant smile. "You fucker! I am going to fuckin kill you!" were the words spat out by Kai Zi but of course, Wen Qinxi didn''t hear it running off to the chaotic main entrance.


    A neon green sports car swerved before abruptly braking in front of them. After that, they were pursued by the enemy. Casio might be a nutcase but his driving skills were exceptional giving them a head start.


    But despite his god-given talent, Kai Zi''s men had been threatened with their lives by their boss and had to capture Su Xin dead or alive so they caught up at some point. A ck SUV rear-ended them like a beast as they reached downtown. Casio checked his rearview mirror as he pressed down on the elerator nearly missing two cars in the intersection.


    The SUV wasn''t as lucky colliding into one of the cars with a loud bang. The two vehicles drove straight into a clothing store shattering the disy ss in a chaotic scene. Casio made a sharp turn into a corner while Li Meimei passed a shotgun to Su Xin.


    "Open it!" yelled Wen Qinxi while loading the shotgun. Li Meimei didn''t dy pressing down the button for the sunroof. Wen Qinxi stood up ready to shoot at their pursuers.


    When another of Kai Zi''s vehicles appeared they were met by a man pointing a shotgun at them.


    Wen Qinxi felt his heart pulsing in his finger holding the trigger but he didn''t hesitate. As soon as he fired a shot their car was suddenly struck causing it to veer to the left side. Wen Qinxi''s entire body was jerked sideways causing him to lose grip of the shotgun. This also meant he missed his target.


    Livid, he cursed at the vehicle that ruined his shot. That car was most likely one of Kai Zi''s because it began to pursue them as well. Wen Qinxi got back in the car and Li Meimei passed him a handgun.She might joke around half the time but when ites to such things she didn''t mess around. It was ride or die and she knew that too well.


    The two cars caught up and sandwiched the jelly bean of a car from either side but just as they wanted to ram the sports car, Casio stepped hard on the brake and changed the gear to reverse before stepping on the elerator. It''s a good thing it was at night which meant there wasn''t a lot of cars on the road.


    It was toote for the two vehicles to stop in time after the green sports car slipped away so they collided with each other but the damage wasn''t serious. Just when they restarted their cars to go after Su Xin once more, a ck van suddenly rammed into them forcing them off the road.


    "Hahaha.... take that you assholes!" bellowed Ting-ge before reversing backwards. The two drivers couldn''t understand why Ting-ge was gloating so much but they soon found out when a sh grenade was thrown at them.


    A loud explosion resounded in the empty streets but that was the least of Wen Qinxi''s worries because they were two motorcycles hot on their tail shooting at them. "Gege, you didn''t even get what you want but Kai Zi wants to end you this bad,"ined Li Meimei after a bullet pierced through the rear window shattering it to pieces.


    "It''s inevitable. One of us has to die," replied Wen Qinxi before turning around to shoot at the motorcyclist. How he missed the lewd underwear. Maybe it would have saved him twice. Unfortunately for him, today wasn''t his day.


    This was because while he was too busy firing shots outside the window, their vehicle was suddenly rammed from the side out of the blue causing their car to flip over. Wen Qinxi''s body was tossed around twice before the car came to a stop with a loud bang. He honestly didn''t expect such a turn of events.


    His eyes descended into darkness with the words game over echoing in his mind. This is why he never liked GTA type of games because he could never win. If he had known he wouldn''t have done this by himself. He would have tried to convince Qie Ranzhe to help him out but there was no point in crying over spilt milk.


    While Wen Qinxi was off to dreand, Kai Zi finally showed up at the scene with a sly smile. He strolled over to the flipped over vehicle gun in hand. From afar he could see three unconscious people lying on the ground but he knew they were supposed to be four so he demanded, "Find the fourth one!" with a terrifying deadly re.


    "Yes sir," replied one of the man before dashing away to make a phone call.


    A vileugh escaped Kai Zi''s throat as he crouched down in front of the unconscious Su Xin. "You think you are fuckin smart, don''t you? Let''s see who will save you now," said Kai Zi before pping Su Xin''s face twice.


    Just as the second p reached Su Xin''s face a familiar voice spoke startling Kai Zi.


    "I will," said a husky voice brimming with adeadly aura. It was obvious how this situation was going to end. It was game over for Kai Zi.

 Chapter 368: Fourth World: Tampering With Fire

    Chapter 368: Fourth World: Tampering With Fire


    There is a proverb that goes ''tampering with fire will burn you even in the coldest regions'' but Kai Zi seemed to not have heard it before. If he had he wouldn''t have travelled down this path.


    It never crossed his mind Qie Ranzhe would show up at this exact moment. If he had known he would have just shot Su Xin and ended it earlier. It''s just that his character wouldn''t permit him to give the pest a quick and easy death.


    He stood up slowly with an eerie smile on his face while tapping the gun in his hand on his thigh in a rhythmic manner. Qie Ranzhe had brought an entire army that immediately surrounded the area cutting off all possible escape routes for Kai Zi.


    "Ran-ge, we have been friends since childhood.... don''t tell me you are going to break off our rtionship for this g man?" asked Kai Zi his tone indignant. This was a genuine question he had been repressing at the depth of his heart.


    He had been by Qie Ranzhe''s side for years yet he wasn''t even worth a hair of this traitorous viper. Just because the man changed for a few months Su Xin''s credibility trampled over his in an instant. This made zero sense to him which is why he had to ask.


    This entire time, Qie Ranzhe only had his eyes on Su Xin with asting sense of anxiety. He wanted Kai Zi to be as far away as possible from Su Xin and had toe up with a n.


    Kai Zi also noticed the taut look on Qie Ranzhe''s face an obvious sign of worry. He let out a self-deprecatingugh that almost seemed crazed. Like a mental patient in a horror movie, hisughter vanished abruptly reced by an expression as dark as the bottom of a charcoal pot.


    "You only see him..... even, even now you can only see him. Shit!" swore Kai Zi before he began to pace up and down like he had lost his mind.


    "What''s so special about this dirty piece of trash? Why can''t you see me? Is it because I can''t give birth... is that it?.... Answer me!" rambled on Kai Zi while waving his gun at the unconscious Su Xin.


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t respond holding his breath. He was ming himself for this. He should have locked up Su Xin from the very beginning. From the moment Su Xin ran off to deal with Su Long by himself he should have locked him up and not listened to his mother''s advice.


    When he was betrayed the first time he wanted to lock up Su Xin and tame him but his mother said you can''t lock up someone to make them like you. That same advice carried forward to the day Su Xin got ambushed alongside his mother. While coaxing her, he suggested confining Su Xin at the Qie Mansion with bodyguards following him around.


    He would only allow Su Xin to go outside with him but his mother strongly rejected the idea saying that even a rabbit would bite when cornered. He couldn''t help thinking this way. He is but a selfish man who doesn''t want to lose his precious gem.


    Now, he regrets it. He regrets listening to a woman whose husband was gunned down despite having no connection to the underworld whatsoever. That''s right, Qie Ranzhe''s father was a simple man who loved painting but he was killed as revenge to his brother-inw who had deep ties in the underworld, thete leader of Hei Xue, Qie Ranzhe''s uncle.


    This was one of Hei San''s biggest regrets so before he departed from this world he instructed Qie Ranzhe to wash their organisation clean to prevent further bloodshed. If his mother couldn''t protect his father then why did he listen to her


    advice? The deeper he dove into this dark path the more wed his logic.


    "Kai! Zi! Get the fuck away from him!" yelled Qie Ranzhe striding forward his icy gaze brimming with indifference as though looking at a stranger.


    Kai Zi drew his weapon and aimed at Qie Ranzhe with a panicked expression. He licked his dry lips in anxiety and stammered, "Do-don''te,e any closer. Ran-ge, I will end the both of us if you keeping clos-," but he didn''t even get toplete his threat because Qie Ranzhe''s chest made contact with the muzzle of the gun. He wanted to go through with it but he hesitated.


    His moment of weakness cost him everything because it was at this juncture that Machu shot him squarely in the ass. "Fuck.... AAAAAAHHHHH! You shot me you fuckin piece of shit!" swore Kai Zi rolling on the ground with a grimace.


    Everyone, "....."


    Qie Ranzhe''s brow rose while staring at Machu with a nk expression. Machu shrugged his shoulders and said, ''What?.... I thought he was going to kill you," before holstering his weapon.


    "So you fuckin shot me in the ass? Aaaahhhh.... fuck you Machu,"ined Kai Zi while Qie Ranzhe kicked away the gun.


    "Just get Xin-er in the car and get a doctor to check him out," said Qie Ranzhe to Machu before crouching down in front of Kai Zi.


    Machu felt wronged so he expressed his grievances while walking over to Su Xin. "He said I shouldn''t kill you so I had to pick the least fatal fleshy part," he said before getting a group of men to carry Su Xin. One of the men identally ced his hand on Su Xin''s ass and felt a cold pressure mounting up behind him despite it being a hot summer night.


    Vexed, he looked behind only to meet his boss'' fierce re that made him almost let go of this hot potato. Machu also felt the spine chilling re and reprimanded him, "Hey, watch where you are putting your hands. Tsk, are you tired of living? You have so many parts to touch, touch elsewhere."


    Qie Ranzhe, "...."


    "Touch elsewhere my foot. Give him to me and carry the rest," said Qie Ranzhe beckoning them over. He initially wanted to deal with Kai Zi first but he instantly turned into a green-eyed monster as soon as someoney a hand on his lover.


    "Sigh* ... so hard to please," muttered Machu wishing to extricate himself from this situation as soon as possible.


    "Ran-ge, what are you nning to do? You can''t kill me otherwise I will destroy the entire empire you worked so hard to create. Just, just be with me okay and I won''t ruin you," said Kai Zi in deep heavy breaths with beads of cold sweat on his forehead. He still had the damning information about Hei Xue''s operations in hand.


    Qie Ranzhe received Su Xin''s unconscious self and embraced him into his arms in a princess carry and said, "it''s a sensible proposal." His response had Kai Zi leaping with joy internally while thinking he should have just done this from the start but a bucket of cold water was poured on him right after.


    "But..... unfortunately you no longer have that advantage. Next time don''t put my birthday as your passcode," said Qie Ranzhe before riding into the sunset with his damsel.

 Chapter 369: Fourth World: The L-Word

    Chapter 369: Fourth World: The L-Word


    "Ran-ge!" he yelled after Qie Ranzhe but he was ruthlessly ignored. It was over. Qie Ranzhe was going to slowly torture him and ruin his family all because of that slut Su Xin. Just like that Kai Zi was dragged into the car along with his men never to see the light of day ever again.


    A few hourster, the so-called slut finally rose from his slumber after ying a round of cards with the system while waiting for the final judgement. He lost to that AI six times so when he woke up he was already in a bad mood which only worsened when he found out he was handcuffed to a chair with a bup sack on his head.


    He was confused at first with his mind foggy from the car crash but once he recalled everything he instantly began to panic. He started struggling with the handcuffs his heart pumping as fast as a high-speed train.


    "Shit..... shit, shit shit!" he mumbled with the rate of swearing increasing as he panicked further. He was frazzled by this stifling situation that he didn''t realise his body was washed and he was wearing clean clothes. Anyway who would notice that if they thought they were going to die.


    ''Jolie, can you check on Baidu how to get out of handcuffs?'' he asked but the system didn''t respond like it was taking a vacation. Wen Qinxipletely lost it so he began to yell like an angry customer after receiving the wrong order.


    ''You fuckin shitty system. You better show your fuckin face right now. I swear if I get skinned alive I will erase you out of existence... Oh, so you don''t fuckin believe me? Wait until I get the fuck out of here,'' said Wen Qinxi restraining himself from swearing at it using even more vulgar words.


    A string of messages popped up further infuriating the nerd.


    System: I do believe you.


    System: Don''t, don''t be angry.


    System: It''s just inconvenient for me right now.


    ''Inconvenient, you must be fuckin kidding me. Well, I am sorry for fuckin inconveniencing you when I am about to fuckin die,'' yelled Wen Qinxi feeling like strangling this stupid system.


    System: Boss, calmed down.


    System: Here are six ways to escape handcuffs.


    System: Use a bobby pin or break the chain with a bolt cutter.


    ''Seriously Jolie? Do I look like I have a fuckin bobby pin or bolt cutters?''ined Wen Qinxi before letting out a sarcasticugh.


    System: Well,.... that''s a bit of an issue.


    ''A bit?.... It''s a fuckin huge problem,'' replied Wen Qinxi questioning the intelligence of his creation. If it had a physical form he would have pinched its ears to restart its IQ.


    System: Oh, here is a good one.


    System: You just have to break your thumb to get out of the handcuffs.


    System: That doesn''t require any tools.


    Wen Qinxi, "..."


    Even a slight pinch to his skin would have him teary-eyed while yelping out in pain so let''s not talk about breaking his own thumb. But the system had on a look of quickly praise me extremely proud of itself.


    ''You must be fuckin crazy,'' replied Wen Qinxi as he started struggling again while trying to shake off the bup sack over his head.


    System: Well, then take a pick.


    System: Skinned like salmon or break your thumb.


    "You....!" said the dumbstruck Wen Qinxi.


    Notification: System Offline. We apologize for any inconvenience. Please contact technical services and report the error.


    Wen Qinxi, "...."


    Struck silly by the stupid system, Wen Qinxi swore to high heaven. Amidst his extreme vulgar slurs, amp was suddenly lit in the dark room. What he forgot in his angry rant was that the system was like a ghost in the presence of one person.


    If only he had calmed his mind and thought it through he would have known he wasn''t in danger at all. But let''s forgive this nerd for tossing his genius IQ off the window when terrified. Thus the term scared silly.


    "Whose there?" asked Wen Qinxi with his head turning left and right in search of his captor. His head moving inside the bup sack was extremelyical but Qie Ranzhe wasn''t in the mood tough.


    He strode over in leisurely footsteps and crouched down in front of Su Xin. Wen Qinxi could see a vague figure in front of him through the bup sack so he lifted his foot to deliver a powerful kick at the assant.


    To his dismay, his foot was caught mid-air by a powerful hand making him panic further. nning to use the other foot, he lifted it but both his feet were suddenly pressed down at the thighs making it hard for him to make a move.


    The warm hands decided to explore caressing both thighs with great interest. Wen Qinxi was about to fight for his dignity when a familiar scent wafted into his nose.


    He immediately calmed down and yelled, "Qie! Ran!" through gritted teeth. This idiot had taken things too far. He was about to explode in anger but Qie Ranzhey his head on hisp with his hands wrapped around Su Xin''s waist.


    "Baby, I am upset," he said sounding wronged as his head sank into his lover''s abdomen.


    "Are you fuckin crazy! Let me go..... Ouch! What the fuck," yelped Wen Qinxi after this beaver bit his abdomen like a toddler. Wen Qinxi couldn''t help but think, ''What a fuckin weird way to vent out one''s grievances.''


    "Bite me again and I won''t talk to you for a week. Now..... be good and let me go," said Wen Qinxi deliberately softening his voice to coax this big baby.


    Unexpectedly, Qie Ranzhe shook his head and said, "If I do you will leave me again."


    "OMG, I will fuckin leave you if you don''t let me go. Hurry up!"


    Qie Ranzhe heard him loud and clear but he didn''t say anything sinking deeper into that embrace as though trying to swallow him whole. He silently savoured this sweet moment breathing in the divine scent of his lover.


    After tearing Kai Zi from limb to limb he needed this. He was so angry that he tore the man apart causing an unsightly scene that made the Kai family throw up in repulsion.


    It had to be done by his hand so he could warn other families and let them know Su Xin''s position in his heart. When he described that position to his mother she simply answered, "Love, it''s love." It was then that he realised Su Xin wiggled into his heart for a second time but this time the feeling was amplified that he couldn''t think straight.


    He couldn''t bare losing Su Xin so he chose what seemed like the most logical route to him in order to protect his heart but of course, his psychotic method wasn''t well received.


    "Ranzhe, you better fuckin let me go right now or I won''t say a word to you for an entire month," threatened Wen Qinxi wondering what was going on with this silly CEO. Was he going to be locked up for the rest of this world?


    "I love you," whispered Qie Ranzhe making this nerd''s heart melt into a puddle. Qie Ranzhe finally said the words Wen Qinxi loved to hear the most.

 Chapter 370: Fourth World: Matching Set Of Lip Hickeys

    Chapter 370: Fourth World: Matching Set Of Lip Hickeys


    Qie Ranzhe might be a grown man but right now he was acting like a spoilt brat in Wen Qinxi''sp. He had finally confessed his feelings which took him a long time to realise but Su Xin didn''t respond. He was fairly certain Su Xin felt the same way but the man didn''t answer him making him feel nervous.


    An awkward silence filled the room with the asional chirping of the cicadas in the distance. Qie Ranzhe was starting to panic as he burrowed his head deep into Su Xin''s abdomen. Just when he was about to say something, Su Xin finally spoke but it was against his expectation. He was being scolded instead.


    "Qie Ranzhe! Are you going to let me go or not?" asked Wen Qinxi after concealing the beatific expression on his face recing it with a stern look.


    Qie Ranzhe felt goosebumps all over his body being called by his full name in that tone. It reminded him of the time his mother was upset with him as a child. She would call out to him in the same way and now his husband had adopted the same tactic.


    "When I asked to pick you up you told me that you were at a movie theatre with your friends. Since when is crawling in an air vent the movie theatre. Were you in the audience or the actor? You keep lying to me.... so how am I supposed to let you go? You don''t trust me and run around doing dangerous things. What would I do without you?"ined Qie Ranzhe unwilling to take off the bup sack and face Su Xin''s angry face.


    "Maybe we should do things differently.... that way you won''t leave me," he carried on with his wed logic that could have one facepalming.


    Wen Qinxi heaved a deep sigh then said, "Fine, I promise I won''t run around doing dangerous things without you ever again. Now.... be obedient and let me go." He was sincere in his words but he had little hope that the man throwing a temper tantrum would believe him.


    To his surprise, Qie Ranzhe took off the bup sack but before he could utter a word, his lips were suddenly sealed in a tyrannical passionate kiss sucking out all the oxygen in his body. ''Great, not only is he holding me hostage now he wants to kiss me to death,'' thought Wen Qinxi feeling rather breathless.


    Qie Ranzhe was so enthusiastic that he lost himself in the moment forgetting the type of situation they were in. He held back earlier when he washed Su Xin''s unconscious body. Now that the man was awake it was about time Su Xin paid the piper. Qie Ranzhe''s hands caressed Su Xin''s chest as their bodies warmed up from the fierce passion.


    Ever since he said the L-word an inexplicable thirst arose within him. He wanted to punish Su Xin for making him worry but Su Xin wasn''t on the same wavelength mainly because his hands were still handcuffed.


    As soon as his lips left Su Xin''s to explore the man''s jade-like pinkish neck, Su Xin took the opportunity to speak. "If you don''t stop seducing me you won''t getid for an entire week," threatened Wen Qinxi in a serious tone. He meant it as it was clearly written all over his face.


    Qie Ranzhe paused his actions eyeing Su Xin like he was a beast. What kind of threat was that? "Don''t re at me. I can make it two weeks if you like," said Wen Qinxi with a smile on his face.


    "Baby, why are you such a buzzkill?"ined Qie Ranzhe while unlocking the handcuffs. Fine, he couldn''t keep Su Xin locked up but he can do something far worse than that. What could be far worse than locking up Su Xin? That would be bringing him along everywhere.


    If Wen Qinxi knew what Qie Ranzhe was thinking he would have volunteered to be confined in the Qie Mansion. A clingy Qie Ranzhe was much difficult to deal with. It was only after walking out of the room did Wen Qinxi find out where he was. This was the basement of Hei Xue''s office building and judging from its set up it was a ce where only dark things happened.


    Qie Ranzhe had his arm around Su Xin''s waist while exining to him what happened after he passed out. The crime boss also confessed to stealing the files in the Kai Mansion vault before Su Xin got his hands on them.


    This angered Wen Qinxi so much that he felt like biting Qie Ranzhe''s lip and he really did it. By the time they got to the executive floor conference room, there was a slight red crack on Qie Ranzhe''s lips giving the couple a matching set of lip hickeys.


    The matching set was hard to miss showing itself off in front of Wen Qinxi''s aplices who had been locked in the conference room. As to why they were locked in? It was because Li Meimei was obsessed with unlocking things. They even had to post a guard outside the conference room because she would most likely pick the lock.


    "Wow, what were you two up too?" asked Li Meimei with her gaze moving back and forth between the two slightly swollen lips. "So while some of us were locked in here you two were getting down and dirty," she said folding her arms across her chest before leaning in to sniff Su Xin, "Tsk, tsk, tsk even had time to take a shower too."


    Wen Qinxi was puzzled but received enlightenment when Casio pointed at his bruised lip while asking, "What happened? Is it from the car ident?" He was feeling especially guilty for failing to get away from Kai Zi''s men andnding them in a car ident. He had never had an ident before in all his driving years even when drag racing. But today he failed and got Su Xin injured.


    Actually, it was because of his good driving that there were minimal injuries. Even the car wasn''tpletely totalled demonstrating his unparalleled skill. Besides minor bruises andcerations, no one broke anything.


    "Oh, this? I identally bumped into someone so don''t worry about it," said Wen Qinxi while side-eyeing the culprit who retaliated earlier and bit him back. If there is such a thing as an unromantic kiss it would be the one they exchanged in the elevator. It would be better described as a game of ''you bit me so I bite you back'' with no clear winner.


    Qie Ranzhe pulled up a chair and sat down before pulling Su Xin''s wrist drawing him closer. The unsuspecting Wen Qinxi was tricked into sitting on Qie Ranzhe''sp out of the blue. By the time he realised it Qie Ranzhe had already wrapped his arms around his waist. This fixed him in ce giving him no chance to escape.


    He rested his chin on Su Xin''s shoulder making the onlookers who had been force-fed dog food shyly look away except for Li Meimei whose skin was as thick as a crocodile''s.


    "Mr Qie, you don''t have to show off. We know he belongs to you and none of us is interested in him," eximed Ting-ge feeling like he was about to be blinded.


    "En," said Qie Ranzhe with a beaming smile but he didn''t let go of Su Xin. Wen Qinxi felt his face heat up in embarrassment but he could only obediently sit there because Qie Ranzhe was holding onto him tightly.

 Chapter 371: Fourth World: Pampered Princess

    Chapter 371: Fourth World: Pampered Princess


    Just when he was about to convince Qie Ranzhe to let him go, the door was pushed open and Machu walked in holding three folders. As soon as he saw these two people abusing single dogs, he looked away and hurriedly distributed the folders while grumbling. "I think we need to put up a suggestion box or better yet sign a petition otherwise I will really go blind from this lovey-dovey situation," heined in a barely audible voice.


    "Sorry, I didn''t catch that. Can you repeat it louder this time?" asked Qie Ranzhe with an evil smile on his face.


    "No nothing, I said I hope Su Xin can cook for us today," said Machu jumping from the frying pan straight into the fire.


    Qie Ranzhe eyed him with a re icy enough to freeze hell over and said, "He is mine so why would he cook for you? Baby, if you dare cook for him I will make you do yoga at night."


    "What the fuck does that have to do with me? This is between the two of you. If I happen to cook and he helps himself then how is that considered my fault?" said Wen Qinxi while trying to wiggle off Qie Ranzhe''sp.


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t answer and directly exined to the group what was in front of them. This was payment for helping Su Xin as long as they agree to keep what happened tonight to themselves. As for the Kai family? It was burning to ash this very instant.


    As soon as he said this, he dragged Su Xin out of the door without looking back. He had a score to settle with Su Xin for lying to him and he couldn''t wait any longer.


    They left behind three people who had their jaws dropping to the floor. The amount stated in this document had them astonished to the point of losing speech. "Se-seven figures?" stammered Li Meimei gawking at Machu in disbelief, "Did your boss rob the national treasury or something? This!...."


    Machu smiled and said, "I take it that you are satisfied? Now hurry up and sign. The food god might be cooking today and I don''t want to miss out."


    Casio was already making a list of cars he was going to buy while Ting-ge was imagining himself having a basement full of big boy toys a collection of the century. The two hurriedly signed while Li Meimei eyed the contract suspiciously.


    "You must be asking me to sell my soul, right? Otherwise why this much?" She asked narrowing her eyes at the messenger.


    "There is no such thing. It''s either you sign or I will take it as your refusal," said Machu taking away the other two''s contracts. His finger reached over to take away Li Meimei''s contract since she wasn''t interested but the girl held on so tight with the paper barely moving an inch.


    Machu let go and Li Meimei nervously chortled while saying, "Uncle don''t be upset. I will sign it. Let''s,let''s not be rash.... hahaha."


    "Fuck. Who is your uncle," swore Machu before taking the signed contract away and storming out of the conference room.


    Li Meimei, "..."


    "Are men also sensitive about their age?" whispered Li Meimei but Machu''s voice made her jump like she had seen a ghost.


    "I heard that!"


    "Tsk, tsk... you really don''t know when to shut up do you?" said Ting-ge while Casio shook his head in sympathy.


    While Machu was feeling sensitive about his age, Qie Ranzhe didn''t go back to the Qie Mansion for selfish reasons. If he went back home those two would hog Su Xin to themselves leaving nothing for him.


    To appease them he initiated a video call that onlysted twenty seconds because he snatched the cell phone afterwards and said, "That''s good enough for proof of life. You guys will see him tomorrow."


    "Wait, no it''s barely a minute. Dad-," said Qie Xieling but he didn''t get to finishining when the video call was cut off.


    Madam Qie didn''t need to be a rocket scientist to figure out why his son was in a hurry. She ruffled the kid''s fluffy head and said, "Do you want to buy something to give to your dad when he gets home tomorrow?" An aggrieved Qie Xieling nodded his head while pouting. His daddy was indeed too greedy for his dad.


    While Qie Xieling was calling his daddy names, Wen Qinxi was slumping on the couch like a zombie. He was passed out for a long time earlier but his limbs were a little sore making him lie on the couch the very moment he entered the apartment.


    The couch was sofy that he could fall asleep here but how could Qie Ranzhe let him off that easy. Qie Ranzhe strode over to the couch after changing into his slippers and directly straddled Su Xin while kissing his neck. The thing poking Wen Qinxi''s thigh made it obvious what this crime boss wanted but it didn''t mean he would give in without putting up a fuss.


    "Ran-ge, I am hungry," said Wen Qinxi with his hands on Qie Ranzhe''s shoulders.


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t immediately respond carrying on with teasing his neck like he was eating some type of delicacy. "En, how about you feed me first then we can eat. I have been craving your taste for so long," replied Qie Ranzhe with his warm breath brushing against Su Xin''s neck.


    "But my muscles are sore,"ined Wen Qinxi trying to get this greedy person off him.


    It seemed to work because Qie Ranzhe stopped and gazed at his lover with a radiant visage that made him especially handsome. "I will give you a massage. How about that?.... Let''s eat dinner first."


    Qie Ranzhe really kept his word and didn''t cause trouble. Once dinner was delivered he fed Su Xin iming that he should move less because of his muscle ache.


    Qie Ranzhe''s actions were too exaggerated that Wen Qinxi couldn''t help but think, ''Isn''t this the so-called fattening a cow at the market?'' He was especially pampered like a princess falling right into Qie Ranzhe''s trap.


    The massage was so good that when Qie Ranzhe told him to take off his t-shirt he didn''t resist. The pleasure stemming from the skilled oily hands had him entranced that he couldn''t help but let out a satisfied groan.


    But it didn''t stop there because Qie Ranzhe took off his pants all in the name of massaging his legs. Maybe it was the burning incense or the soothing oil but Wen Qinxi was veryisant.


    By the time he realized he was lured into a trap his underwear was already off and Qie Ranzhe was giving him a hand job. This experience waspletely out of this world making him utter provocative words with glistening eyes. After showing this kind of face, how could the horny crime boss possibly let him go? Not in this lifetime.


    This night had a happy ending for these two but not for Madam Qie. What began as buying dad something ended up turning into a full-fledged affair. The arts and crafts table was scattered with a lot of messy things because Qie Xieling decided to make his dad a gift.


    His dad always did fun things with him and he wanted to show his appreciation. As nana taught him, one should learn to appreciate the ones around them because it''s when we appreciate them that they feel special. He wanted Su Xin to know that he loves him and appreciates him from the depth of his heart.

 Chapter 372: Fourth World: The Ghost Of Su Xins Past Mistress

    Chapter 372: Fourth World: The Ghost Of Su Xin''s Past Mistress


    As the golden sun rays shone through the ceiling to floor windows of this apartment building, Wen Qinxi''s eyshes fluttered but he didn''t immediately wake up. It seemed the sunlight was disturbing his sleep so he mumbled, "Ran-ge, close the curtains," in a husky voice while pulling the quilt over his head.


    But despite his incoherent speech he got no response. The quilt was meant to block out the sunlight but now he was feeling hot after wrapping himself up like a dumpling. Unable to bear it any longer, Wen Qinxi stretched out his hand to tap Qie Ranzhe so he can deal with the situation but who would have thought he would touch air.


    After patting Qie Ranzhe''s side of the bed a couple of times he realised that spot had long run cold so he abruptly sat up straight revealing a birds nest head of hair. He scanned the room with half-lidded eyes but the person he was looking for was not there.


    He flung the quilt to the side and walked over to the curtain barefooted in vicious footsteps. He drew the curtain closed with a loud swoosh.


    When he got back in bed he swiped open his cellphone only to realise it was already eleven o''clock. He swiped down the notification bar and saw messages from Qie Ranzhe.


    DaddyRan: Good morning baby.


    DaddyRan: I have something to do.


    DaddyRan: Breakfast is on the table.


    This string of messages were sent at eight o''clock but an hourter Qie Ranzhe sent another message that had Wen Qinxi raising his eyebrows.


    DaddyRan: Oh, and don''t leave the apartment without me.


    Wen Qinxi snorted and replied with a simple response before cing the phone on the pedestal.


    HandsomeXi: Good morning Ran-ge.


    He sank deep into the soft bed and went back to sleep. Two blocks away in Hei Xue''s top floor Qie Ranzhe was taking over the role of the punisher sweeping clean whatever was left of the Kai Family and intimidating their allies when a message notification came through.


    His creased brow rxed as a sweet smile appeared on his face. There could only be one person in the world who could evoke such a reaction from Qie Ranzhe. Machu saw this and decided to halt his report. Even a simple text message from Su Xin subjects him to a mouthful of dog food.


    Qie Ranzhe picked up his phone and said, "Carry on," with his gaze on his phone. An unrestrained smile appeared on his face making Machu subconsciously furrow his brow replying,


    "How can I carry on when I am faced with such a foolish smile? Sigh*..... I also put the Zhao family in their ce but they might want to have a face to face meeting with you to smooth things over," replied Machu but once he realised Qie Ranzhe wasn''t listening he couldn''t help but express his grievances, "Ohe on... you aren''t even listening. How about we take a break so you and the Madam can have a lovely chat?"


    Qie Ranzhe''s smile immediately fell with his lips turning into a straight line taking Machu by surprise. He honestly thought something was wrong so he asked, "What? Is everything okay?" with a taut voice. It must be something major otherwise why would his friend be this downcast when he was in a pleasant mood just a second ago.


    Qie Ranzhe turned his cellphone around and showed Machu their string of messages. The more Machu read the more vexed he was. There wasn''t anything warranting this much anxiety so he answered honestly, "I don''t get it."


    Qie Ranzhe''s shoulders drooped a little before saying, "I sent him so many messages and this is all I got? Am I asking for too much?.... Damn it!"


    Machu wanted to maintain a serious attitude and reassure him but he failed miserably. He found this entire thing incredibly funny so he snickered unwittingly and tried to cover his face to conceal it. ck lines appeared on Qie Ranzhe''s face with a gloomy grey cloud hovering above his head.


    Sensing a sinister pressure mounting up from Qie Ranzhe he suppressed hisughter and said, "Maybe you need to do something to show him that he''s special. Show him what position he holds in your heart by putting your love on disy... maybe, maybe he will open up then."


    The sullen man seemed to consider his words seriously and said, "How do you even know it will work?"


    Machu took out his cellphone and showed him the screen, "My love guru said so. Do you want me to give you his number?"


    Qie Ranzhe''s brows furrowed before thoroughly roasting Machu, "No need. If he is genuine why is it that you are still single?"


    Machu felt like his heart had just been stabbed by his words andined, "What the fuck? Laozi is waiting for the right one. Why did you have to be mean?"


    Qie Ranzhe stood up while cing his phone in his pocket and said, "En, it was my mistake. I just thought you were picky..... Let''s go find a ring."


    Machu''s grievances werepletely washed away after hearing those words. He stood up brimming with energy while stammering, "Ri-ring for, for Su Xin? You are going to propose?"


    "If not for Su Xin then who else? You?" said Qie Ranzhe as they strode down the corridor to the elevator doors.


    "How can that be? I am not deserving. Ran-ge, smile," he said before taking a picture of Qie Ranzhe out of the blue. Qie Ranzhe was so startled that he didn''t react immediately.


    "Don''t mind me. I am documenting the entire thing for your big day," said Machu switching to video mode so they could vlog the main event but his cellphone was confiscated squashing Machu''s best man goals.


    While Machu''s best man dreams were being shattered, Wen Qinxi''s sweet dreams were suffering the same fate from a tyrannical knock at the door. Wen Qinxi angrily tossed the quilt away after the person knocked for the tenth time.


    His back was aching and he wanted to rest for a little longer but someone was deliberately going against him.


    He didn''t even bother putting on his slippers and checked the front door camera. To his surprise, it was Zhao Hua standing there in person. She seemed fairly anxious like a woman who was about to reunite with her lover after being separated for a long time.


    Wen Qinxi wasn''t in the mood to deal with the Su Xin''s former mistress so he went to the bathroom and washed up ignoring the frantic knocks on his door. He finished washing up and ate histe breakfast but Zhao Hua was steadfast. She tried to call his number again but judging from her downcast expression, it didn''t go through.


    That''s because the vinegar jar of a man blocked then deleted her number. Wen Qinxi could easily retrieve it but he didn''t want to so he ignored her andy on the couch while ying with his phone.


    He hesitated for a moment but decided to message Qie Ranzhe and let him know that there was a problem.

 Chapter 373: Fourth World: #Bridetobe

    Chapter 373: Fourth World: #Bridetobe


    Qie Ranzhe already had trust issues and he didn''t want any misunderstandings to fuel the me so he wrote him a message.


    HandsomeXi: We have a problem.


    HandsomeXi: Zhao Hua is at our doorstep.


    HandsomeXi: Can youe and solve it for me?


    Wen Qinxi didn''t immediately get a response so he closed his eyes with his wireless earphones in his ears to drown out all the noise but this was a huge mistake on his part. No one could have predicted what happened next.


    His earphones were especially of good quality so he couldn''t hear anything. Coupled with the fact that his eyes were closed he didn''t notice the housekeeper for the Qie Mansion came over to do her weekly clean up. Because she had worked for the Qie family for fifteen years, she had ess to the apartment.


    When Zhao Hua heard the elevator doors open she thought it was Qie Ranzhe so she hid behind a potted nt but when she noticed the elderly woman, she snuck up from behind and shoved her to the wall rendering her unconscious.


    She had to save Su Xin as she heard from her sister that he was being held captive. Her love for Su Xin prompted her to risk everything and get him out of the country. She also heard the Kai family fell overnight and that her family was probably next so she decided to take Su Xin out of the country before her family copsed.


    Imagining the life in paradise they had always talked about, Zhao Hua dragged the older woman and scanned her fingerprint on the keypad. With a clicking sound, the door opened and she smiled gleefully before tiptoeing inside. Her sister told her that Qie Ranzhe was at the office so Su Xin must have been left alone in the apartment.


    At first, she thought Su Xin would open the door for her but after knocking for over an hour there wasn''t any sign of movement. Fearing he had been subjected to some form of torture she resorted to such a method to ess the apartment.


    When she saw the man of her dreams lying on the couch with his eyes closed looking as exquisite as ever, Zhao Hua''s face bloomed like a pink lotus flower in the morning sun. She hovered above him studying his handsome profile with great interest.


    She stood there for over a minute before Su Xin''s eyes slowly opened. His mind was foggy and in disarray. He was unable to make sense of the situation at first but once he caught up, his eyes widened shaken to the core. "What the fuck!" he said as he sat up straight abruptly.


    Zhao Hua''s smile grew wider and she threw herself at Su Xin but he dodged crawling backwards with a distraught expression. He crawled too far that he rolled off the couch and fell to the ground with a loud thud injuring his already fragile back.


    Seeing this, she assumed he was being shy at first and giggled shyly before peeking down to check on him. She propped up her head with her hands as her elbows sunk into the armrest of the couch. "You are that happy to see me?"


    Wen Qinxi wasn''t even listening to her grimacing in pain. He took off his earphones and tried to move but he couldn''t move. "What the fuck is wrong with you? Argh.... shit!" He swore with his hand on his back.


    Wen Qinxi had no time to figure out how she gained ess to the apartment as a sharp pain prevented him from thinking clearly. This is when she noticed something was wrong. Panic-stricken, she rushed to his side and tried to touch him but his next words had her mind in chaos. "Don''t fuckin touch me..... Argh, fuck!"


    The injury wouldn''t exactly be considered severe but afterst night''s activity coupled with the fall, it was bad enough for this nerd. Her hands trembled while apologizing with an ashen face. "Baby, I am sorry, I am so sorry," she muttered but that''s when she noticed red and purple bruises on his corbone and neck. Even his lip wasn''t spared. She hadn''t noticed it earlier because he was covering his face with his arms while lying on the couch but after the fall she saw everything.


    "Baby, wh-what did he do to you?" she said with a brittle voice and tear-filled eyes. She felt distressed as she pulled down his t-shirt in dismay.


    While Wen Qinxi was on the apartment floor cursing out Zhao Hua, Qie Ranzhe was at a jewellery store discussing the type of engagement and wedding rings he wants. Because they were having this closed discussion in a secure room, he didn''t immediately receive Su Xin''s messages.


    It was after exiting the room that his cellphone received message notifications. Anxious he opened the app with his home surveince camera only to find an unconscious woman lying outside his apartment door but no Su Xin. He was beginning to panic when he finally saw a part of him but the man was in a blind spot behind the couch.


    His heart sank when he saw that girl on her knees doing who knows what with Su Xin. His mind spun out of control that he ditched Machu and drove through the busy streets like a maniac. What was going through his mind at that moment? He didn''t know. All he knew was that he had to get to Su Xin as quickly as possible.


    Machu who had been ditched hurriedly exined to the shopkeeper who was staring at him with sympathetic eyes. "Uh, it''s probably a family emergency," he said with a nervous smile.


    He strode out of the high-end store and checked his pockets for his phone. He wanted to call Qie Ranzhe and get him some back up if it was necessary but after searching for so long, he realised his phone wasn''t with him. That''s because Qie Ranzhe confiscated it earlier.


    Machu was too immersed in his own thoughts that he didn''t notice a woman dressed in white watching him through her dark sunsses. She took a sip of her coffee and stood up as soon as Machu left.


    Zhao Huangzhi had been watching that jewellery store for a while. She knew Qie Ranzhe had to be here for only one thing.


    When she saw him darting out of the store she knew her n went ordingly. She removed her sunsses and walked over to the bridal shop in the same building with a radiant smile. The receptionist weed her and asked, "You have an appointment?"


    Zhao Huangzhi took out a tinum card indicating her status and said, "Last minute wedding ns so how about we skip the formalities."


    The receptionist naturally recognized the card and led her to a private space with the perfect customer service smile. Zhao Huangzhi sat down and a group of employees brought over champagne and a clothing rail of expensive couture. Kai Zi was out of the picture and Su Xin was about to get the short end of the stick. "Father will be so proud of me," she said taking a selfie of herself in the bridal shop. She proceeded to send the picture to her father before uploading it on her WeChat moments with the caption ''Girl getting married'' #blessed #bridetobe

 Chapter 374: Fourth World: Zhao Huas Enlightenment

    Chapter 374: Fourth World: Zhao Hua''s Enlightenment


    Wen Qinxi seemed to have fallen prey to a she-wolf as hey on the floor feeling helpless. It''s a good thing Zhao Hua didn''t take advantage of him at this moment besides calling him baby nonstop. Baby this baby that, was all Wen Qinxi heard making him cringe endlessly.


    "Who do you think you are calling baby? Just shut the fuck up and give me my phone," yelled Wen Qinxi feeling like he was going to die on the cold floor from all the pain.


    Zhao Hua''s face sank but her sorrow didn''tst long because she brushed off his rudeness as the pain talking. She hurriedly grabbed his cellphone and gave it to him. With a tap of a button, Wen Qinxi dialled Qie Ranzhe''s number but the man didn''t answer.


    Frustrated, he massaged his forehead and dropped the phone to his side.He then decided to call an ambnce but just as he input the number, his phone was taken away in one fell swoop.


    Wen Qinxi red at her with his chest heaving rapidly like a raging bull. She smiled nervously and said, "Sweety, don''t call the hospital. Let me call a friend of mine then we will take you to see my family doctor. After that we can run away like we initially nned."


    He fought off the urge to roll his eyes watching her love-struck expression. He was extremely grateful that women weren''t this obsessive in the real world otherwise the entire world will go to shit.


    "Don''t eye me like that otherwise you shouldn''t me me for what happens next," she said while timidly tucking away a strand of hair behind her ear. Her cheeks flushed crimson while taking out her cellphone.


    This woman was the innocent yet psycho type of girl that might have roused his interest before. That is until Qie Ranzhe bent him crooked in a matter of weeks. He had to be upfront and set things right otherwise she would keep doing dumb shit like this. "Zhao Hua, I th-," he said but didn''t get to finish because she interjected with a disgruntled tone.


    "I can ept Hua-er, baby and even pumpkin but not that. When did you start calling me by my full name? Did Qie Ranzhe tell you to call me that?"


    Wen Qinxi sighed deeply and looked up at the ceiling before saying, "Don''t bring him into this. Listen clearly because I am only going to say this once..... I am not being held captive neither am I getting tormented. I love Qie Ranzhe so it can only be over between us."


    His voice was as clear as day but judging from Zhao Hua''s expression it was as though the words entered her left ear and exited through the right one bypassing her brain.


    "Do you understand?" he asked but just as she was about to respond the door was suddenly kicked open with a loud bang. The livid Qie Ranzhe stormed in and looked around for his husband.


    His steps paused as soon as his line of sight fell on Zhao Hua and Su Xin who was lying on the ground like a stubborn puppy that didn''t want to leave the yground. Their eyes met as a deadly aura surrounded the crime boss. Su Xin obviously belonged to him but people kept fighting over him like it was some type of gold rush or something.


    "Get the fuck away from him!" bellowed Qie Ranzhe like a gigantic beast threatening its enemies off its territory. He pushed her away and observed him carefully with a cold gaze.


    "Leave him alone," said Zhao Hua misunderstanding the situation, "Haven''t you tormented him enough? Look at his lip and all the bruises you left on him. You hurt him... it''s all your fault."


    While saying this, her hands weren''t idle. She tried to shove Qie Ranzhe but he remained unmoved like mount Everest.


    Wen Qinxi couldn''t bear seeing this so he said, "What fuckin torment? His lip is as bruised as mine and he has much worse hickeys than I do." This had the vexed Zhao Hua staring down at Qie Ranzhe''s cor but Wen Qinxi wasn''t pleased in the slightest so he retorted, "That doesn''t mean you should fuckin look. Who gave you permission?"


    Qie Ranzhe''s sour feeling dispersed instantly. He didn''t believe Su Xin would hook up with Zhao Hua again but he couldn''t help but feel jealous and anxious. Because of the blind spot, he couldn''t clearly judge the situation leaving room for his imagination to run wild.


    "What''s wrong? Can you get up?" asked Qie Ranzhe not certain where to ce his hands. Zhao Hua must have done something to him otherwise why would he be lying down on the ground instead of throwing her out of the apartment.


    "It''s my back. I can''t move," he said before stretching out his hands for Qie Ranzhe to carry him.


    This tender scene fell into Zhao Hua''s line of sight making her heart sink into the dark abyss. What torment? What captive? These two were obviously in a rtionship, a harmonious one at that. Even when they dated however short it was, Su Xin never looked at her like that.


    She knew that he was with her for the benefits but she brainwashed herselfbelling it as love. This is why she stood up for him and went against her family. But at this moment that delusion shattered into a million pieces. It turns out she was building castles in the air all this time.


    Qie Ranzhe carried Su Xin in a princess carry and walked towards the exit. He was about to leave the apartment when he remembered the light bulb, Zhao Hua. He stopped and said, "Get the fuck out!" jolting her out of her trance.


    She was about to exit the apartment when she heard Su Xin''s voice. "Think for yourself who set you up," said Wen Qinxi hoping to enlighten this naive girl.


    Her brow creased as though lost in thought before walking out of the apartment. An ambnce soon arrived at the scene and took care of the poor woman who suffered a head injury despite having nothing to do with all of this. While Wen Qinxi was putting up a y titled ''I am about to die'' at the hospital, Zhao Hua was on the hunt for her vile sister.


    Now that she thought about it clearly, it was Zhao Huangzhi who introduced her to Su Xin. Not only that but she was also the one who provided information about his whereabouts each time. Every single detail about Su Xin was provided by her. If she didn''t know any better she would have believed Zhao Huangzhi had a thing for Su Xin.


    All the evidence was pointing at her big sister but what she couldn''t figure out was the motive. What could Zhao Huangzhi possibly gain from this? The answer to that was soon revealed when she called Zhao Huangzhi''s driver to find out where she was. It turns out the shrewd woman was at the bridal shop but who was she marrying?

 Chapter 375: Fourth World: Say Yes To The Dress

    Chapter 375: Fourth World: Say Yes To The Dress


    When Zhao Hua entered the doors of the bridal shop, she used her family name to explore without an appointment only to find her sister admiring herself in a wedding dress in front of several full-length mirrors.


    The representative praised her like a sea lion after receiving some fish. "Is this the kind of dress your fiancee likes?" asked the representative while passing over a ss of champagne?


    Zhao Huangzhi took a sip of the bubbly liquid and smiled brightly. "Of course, he likes it. He doesn''t care what I wear because he says I look good in anything," she said before twirling one more time. She was both graceful and elegant but possessed a heart of stone. "He is the most powerful person in the entire country and I am about to be his wife."


    Zhao Hua''s face sank when she realised who this imaginary fiancee was. Everything to do with Su Xin was linked to Qie Ranzhe. It was then that she figured it out. Zhao Huangzhi used her to get Qie Ranzhe from the very beginning.


    From that humiliating scene at the hotel to this risky move of breaking into Qie Ranzhe''s apartment. She had been manipted by Zhao Huangzhi to do her bidding while ruining her reputation in the Zhao family.


    Well, since she used a man to bring her down it was about time they yed a game called role reversal. Zhao Hua walked over to her sister with the brightest smile she could conjure up under the circumstances and sat down on the couch. "Sister, you look stunning," she said gazing at her with sparkling eyes.


    Zhao Huangzhi was surprised to see her so she picked up her dress and sat next to her ready to receive the major scoop. Judging from her expression, things seemed to have gone well. "So how did it go?" she asked while beckoning the bridal shop representative to bring over another ss of champagne.


    Having lured the fish towards the bait, Zhao Hua smiled timidly like a blushing bride and said, "We, we are going to be together. It''s finally going to happen."


    Zhao Huangzhi ced her palms on her cheeks squirming like a little school girl and asked, "They broke up?"


    The smile on Zhao Hua''s face vanished as she pursed her lips as though withholding some information. Zhao Huangzhi''s chest tightened assuming the worst but she still had to ask.


    "Tell your big sister what happened. You know I am here for you," said Zhao Huangzhi brushing away some stray strands of hair on Zhao Hua''s forehead.


    The representative brought over a ss of champagne but just as she was about to hand it to Zhao Hua, Zhao Huangzhi took it and waved her hand for her to leave. She then handed the ss over while rubbing her sister''s arm in aforting way.


    "Drink this, it will make you feel better," she said but in her mind, she was scolding Zhao Hua. ''Bitch better not have messed things up for me,'' she said to herself with an award-winning smile on her face.


    Zhao Hua drank the entire thing in one go and smiled sweetly pretending everything was fine but her reddened eyes betrayed her.


    "He insisted we wait and he will let me know when he''s ready. After that will run away together," she exined vowing to make a fool out of Zhao Huangzhi.


    For this n to work, she would have someone watching Qie Ranzhe and Su Xin for a while. Her purpose was simple. It was to find the best opportunity to bring Zhao Huangzhi down and make her suffer for her crimes.


    "Just keep me updated, okay?" Said Zhao Huangzhi with a glint of worry in her eyes. She had no confidence in Zhao Hua''s words but why would her sister deceive her? This line of thought didn''tst because Zhao Hua finally asked her the million-dor question.


    "By the way, why are you trying on wedding dresses? Howe Jiejie is getting married without letting me know?" asked Zhao Hua while stroking the fluffy dress. "Whose the lucky bastard taking my sister away from me?"


    Zhao Huangzhi blushed with a timid smile and said, "You will know soon enough... How do I look? Do you like it?"


    Zhao Hua smiled and said, "You make a beautiful bride."


    ***


    While the two sisters were busy backstabbing each other, Wen Qinxi''s ''I am going to die'' y came to an embarrassing end. The loud wailsing out of Wen Qinxi''s mouth had the doctors rushing over thinking it was a life and death situation for a grown man to cry like that.


    It was either he had his arm chopped off or his guts were spilling out of his abdomen.


    One can only imagine their reaction when they found out the wailing man only had a minor back injury.


    The doctor was about to scold him for making such a fuss over nothing but the look Qie Ranzhe gave him had him swallowing those words in an instant. One pain reliever and an ice patchter, Wen Qinxi was as silent as a church mouse feeling embarrassed for screaming louder than a woman inbour.


    He might feel embarrassed but Qie Ranzhe was extremely worried about him.He let the man hold his hand the entire time which was squeezed till it turned white. It was so numb that the doctor had to instruct him to use the same cream he prescribed for his husband on his hand as well.


    The two left the hospital an hourter after making sure the housekeeper was okay. For the entire trip home, the two barely spoke. It was obvious Qie Ranzhe was in a horrible mood so Wen Qinxi didn''t speak as well lest he aggravates the man further.


    Turns out, Qie Ranzhe wasn''t upset with Su Xin rather he was upset with himself for not guarding his lover properly otherwise how could others get the opportunity to take him away?


    He parked the car in front of the mansion but he didn''t immediately get out of the car. The two people sat in silence each having their own thoughts. The mood in the enclosed space was extremely heavy but none of them broke the silence.


    It was Qie Ranzhe who reached over and unbuckled Su Xin''s seat belt soothing the tension. He closed his eyes and kissed Su Xin''s lips in the process before giving him a weary smile. "Baby, let''s get inside," he said but just as he opened the car door, Su Xin suddenly grabbed his cor and kissed the man like it was the end of the world.


    "I love you," whispered Wen Qinxi before letting him go. His ears red from embarrassment, Wen Qinxi opened the door and hastily got out of the car. Because he was careless he fell on the ground with a loud thud.


    This sound woke Qie Ranzhe up from his stupor and he asked, "Are you okay?" with a beautiful smile stered on his face.


    "Ah!... Do I look like I am fuckin okay?" replied Wen Qinxi rolling on the ground with an ugly expression.


    It was then that the giddy Qie Ranzhe ran over to help him up. And once he did, he embraced Su Xin tightly and said, "I love you too, baby."

    Chapter 376: Fourth World: Punishement For An Old Crime


    The pink bubbles surrounding the ck SUV finally burst as the two men sauntered over to the Qie Mansion like an elderly couple. Wen Qinxi felt so embarrassed today that he vowed to see a psychologist and fix his fear of pain issue. His cries brought a five-year-old boy in the hospital bed next to him to his knees.


    The kid broke his arm ying and he was about to get a cast but seeing a grown man cry louder than him, he decided to tough it out otherwise he would end up like that grown up in the future.


    Having been judged by even a toddler, Wen Qinxi was somewhat in low spirits. When they entered the house, he was met by a handmade banner written Happy Dad''s Appreciation Day. There was a table decorated in blue and white with candy, fudge, helium balloons and a cake with two figures as cake toppers. It was obvious Qie Xieling chose this cake because the cake topper figurines were of him and the boy ying with water balloons at the ind vi.


    "Surprise!" yelled Qie Xieling with a radiant smile before jumping on Su Xin. Wen Qinxi felt his eyes sting while covering his gasping mouth with his hand. He didn''t say anything for a long time afraid to speak otherwise his brittle voice would sell him out. How could there be something this precious in life?


    Qie Xieling raised his head to look at his father who hadn''t said anything for a long time and asked, ''Do you like it? We stayed up all night me and Nana."


    Of course, he liked it. How could he not like it? Such a precious moment had him missing his mother and brother in the real world. When he was ten his brother and mother did the same thing for him with an unforgettable ice cream cake. Mind you, it wasn''t his birthday. They did it on a whim to put a smile on his face.


    Not once in his life did he think the second time someone did this for him would be in a game. If he spoke he might open up a flood gate of tears so he decided to show his appreciation some other way. Poor Qie Xieling''s cheeks were kissed so much that the boy wanted to run.


    He somehow managed to escape saying, "Eww dad," while standing on the opposite end of the table wiping his cheeks. He was but a teenager after all with a typical ''pretend you don''t like but your heart is as warm as ever'' kind of attitude.


    Wen Qinxi couldn''t catch up with him with his back injury so he sent over his watchdog. "Ran-ge, catch him for me," said Wen Qinxi pointing at the escaped convict charged with killing his father with meng. As expected Qie Xieling was caught in the blink of an eye. He was absolutely no match against Qie Ranzhe''s long legs so he was brought back for a rain of kisses and pinches.


    Ten minutester, three people sat around the dinner table chatting it up while eating dinner. The missing person was Qie Ranzhe and none of them knew what he was up to. All they know is that Machu walked in looking like he hade from running a marathon.


    "Whose birthday is it?" asked Machu while poking at the party hat on the top of Su Xin''s head that Qie Xieling forced him to wear.


    Qie Xieling smacked Machu''s hand off and straightened out the crooked hat that Machu had screwed up. "It''s dad appreciation day," exined Qie Xieling while checking if Su Xin''s hat was now straight. Wen Qinxi just stared at this boy who was exhibiting his OCD tendencies.


    "Oh, so that''s why," said Machu while rubbing his chin lost in thought.


    "Why what?" asked Madam Qie with the other two looking at him with interest.


    Having almost blurted out a secret, Machu felt like pping himself across the face. To prevent any further idents he waved his hand in a dismissive gesture and said, "Nothing. Never mind." He then left the room heading upstairs but he still heard Madam Qie yelling after him.


    "Tell that brat upstairs to stop being a workaholic ande downstairs," she said before looking at Qie Xieling, "I think your daddy is jealous. Why didn''t you re-write the banner as Happy Dad and Daddy Appreciation Day? Now we have to deal with a grumpy goose."


    Qie Xieling pouted and said, "But I have thrown him several parties before. It was dad''s turn today."


    His words seemed reasonable but Wen Qinxi couldn''t help worry especially after what happened today. Fearing that Qie Ranzhe was still unsettled about what happened earlier, Wen Qinxi decided to bring up some fudge to coax the big baby.


    Qie Ranzhe wasn''t upset about not getting a surprise party as well but he was rather jealous that Qie Xieling thought of this before he did. It was thispetitive spirit that prompted him to hijack Qie Xieling''s party and do the unthinkable. After discussing some secret mission with Machu, he went to Qie Xieling''s room and searched everywhere for some evidence.


    He still had to punish these two for a crime theymitted during summer vacation and there was no better day to do it than today. Once he found that secret stash he ambled downstairs with a triumphant smile.


    "Finally you are here. We thought you were going to stew in a corner till you grow mushrooms on your head," said Madam Qie pulling up a seat for Qie Ranzhe but her son had other things in mind.


    Once Qie Xieling''s line of sight fell on that box, his feet subconsciously jerked preparing to make a run for it. He wasn''t allowed to casually enter Qie Ranzhe''s office without permission but he and his aplice broke into his daddy''s office on the ind Vi and did the unthinkable with the 3D printer.


    To show he wasn''t an experienced criminal, he kept the evidence in the house and even yed with them when his daddy wasn''t around. The box was mmed on the table startling everyone. Machu couldn''t help but shake his head thinking, ''What a buzzkill,'' but that didn''t stop him from enjoying a good show.


    "Ahem... do you want to confess on your own and lessen the sentence or you would rather do it the hard way," said Qie Ranzhe with his hands on the table. His words were directed at Qie Xieling but his gaze was on Su Xin.


    Wen Qinxi had no idea what was going on but once the contents of the mystery box were revealed he couldn''t help but curse internally. ''Damn it,'' he swore within while trying to act all innocent. He couldn''t help but think this man was as petty as ever even in a game.


    "We, I am mean I," said Qie Xieling but he didn''t get to finish before Qie Ranzhe cut him off.


    "Don''t you dare say you bought them," said Qie Ranzhe standing up straight while casually folding his arms across his chest, "You two entered my office without permission and used the 3D printer. Go on, deny it."


    Madam Qie face palmed before reprimanding her son. "Ran-er, are you that upset that Lin Lin didn''t throw you a party as well that you had to bring this up right now? Stop being a party pooper and sit down so we can eat together."


    "Fine, I admit my timing is off but after dinner, I expect the both of you to write an essay and read it out loud," he said picking up the box before cing it in front of Su Xin for the guilt to soak in thoroughly.

 Chapter 377: Fourth World: Two Essays And A Proposal

    Chapter 377: Fourth World: Two Essays And A Proposal


    And it did. The guilt ate Su Xin up like a worm eating away a bright red apple from the inside while maintaining a healthy appearance outside.


    Qie Xieling wasn''t as guilt-ridden as Su Xin because he knew that his daddy was using this as an excuse to give them a teaching moment. If he was truly upset then not even Nana would have been able to cool his jets. Plus the punishment would have been handed down immediately not after dinner. The urge to run away vanished immediately praising himself for surviving the inevitable.


    "What should the essay be about?" asked Qie Xieling rather curious. He liked school work anyway. To him, it was like a hobby. It wasrade Wen Qinxi over there who hated writing andnguage subjects. To ace such subjects in high school, he had to put in extra effort. He preferred dealing with numbers but now he was being forced to write an essay out of the blue.


    "My handwriting is horrible. It''s like chicken scratches," exined Wen Qinxi trying to plead with his boss sh husband. "How about apromise?"


    Qie Ranzhe had a long list of punishments to choose from but this essay was important because it had everything to do with himself.


    He shook his head in refusal and said, "Write an essay titled why you appreciate me. Minimum a thousand words," while reaching out to massage Su Xin''s lower back. One could say he was taking advantage of the situation to hear his husband praise him. Who doesn''t like good old fashioned ttery from his lover?


    "Oh boy," muttered Madam Qie recalling Master Qie did the exact same thing when he was still alive. As the saying goes, like father like son.


    "Are you serious right now?" asked Wen Qinxi staring at him like he was some weirdo selling underwear at the zoo.


    Qie Ranzhe drew Su Xin''s wrist that was holding a pair of chopsticks with a juicy piece of chicken stir fry closer and ate it. "Do I look like I am joking?"


    Well, he wasn''t joking because an hour after dinner he had everyone sitting in the back porch. Madam Qie even printed out score numbers to judge the two''s performance. Qie Xieling didn''t disappoint feeding his father''s ego like a pro. From his height to his mighty exploits, nothing was left out. A proud smile on Qie Ranzhe''s face spoke volumes with Madam Qie awarding her grandson a generous score of 99%.


    The score was high but Qie Xieling wasn''t satisfied. His score should at least be 100% and above though mathematically it would be considered incorrect. "Why didn''t you give me a hundred per cent. Do you know how much buttering up I had to do? For that I should get a total score,"ined Qie Xieling sitting beside his stingy Nana.


    Madam Qie ruffled his hair and said, "I would have given you a total score but nana didn''t print two zeros so you have to settle for ny-nine." She then pinched his cheeks while coaxing him with cake. "Now stop pouting and I will give you cake."


    Wen Qinxi wasn''t paying attention trying to makest-minute changes like a student in an exam after the examiner makes thest call. Qie Ranzhe tried to peek at what he was writing but Wen Qinxi blocked his view as though afraid he would copy his work.


    "Let me see. It doesn''t make any difference anyway," said Qie Ranzhe curious to see what Su Xin''s handwriting looked like.


    Wen Qinxi would rather read it than let this piece of paper see the light of day. There were so many crossed-out words and rewritten sentences. One could say it was the messiest piece of paper yet. He stood up all of a sudden running away from Qie Ranzhe''s prying eyes.


    Despite having to present in front of his in-game family, he was still as nervous as hell standing there like a statue. "Okay... um, don''tugh at me. I am a little nervous," he eximed while vowing to get back at Qie Ranzhe for this.


    "Go, dad... I will give you a total score.... oh wait, ny nine per cent since Mrs forgetful over here forgot to print two zeros..... ouch," said Qie Xieling that is before his ear was pulled by the angry grandma.


    Wen Qinxi''s eyes stayed glued on the piece of paper as he began reading his essay like a robot. It''s safe to say he wouldn''t ace an interview for a job as a reporter otherwise he would turn a serious news report into aical scene.


    The things Wen Qinxi did when he was nervous included stering the paper so close to his face that one could barely see his countenance, tapping his fingers on the side of his leg coupled with pacing in circles like a puppy chasing its tail.


    No matter how much encouragement Qie Xieling pumped into his dad, it was pointless. Even he had a what the hell expression on his face at some point. But if one overlooked his nervousness, the words Wen Qinxi wrote were simply beautiful that Qie Ranzhe couldn''t help but feel touched. This essay could be considered as Su Xin''s first love letter to him and boy it was special.


    As soon as Wen Qinxi finished thest sentence, he finally stopped moving around and put down the piece of paper. Against is expectations, his family was suspiciously silent. That''s because, in front of him, Qie Ranzhe was down on one knee with an open ring box in his hand. Even the vlogger Machu didn''t miss this special moment hiding in the bushes with a camera.


    The reason why he ran to the mansion was that Qie Ranzhe sent him to go and collect the engagement ring despite the jewellery store being closed. He had to go harass the owner at his home. The poor old man had to ditch his dinner and handle the finishing touches.


    The good was that Qie Ranzhe had paid for it to be done in two days and he was alsopensated for the house call. The old man delivered on short notice which meant Qie Ranzhe could propose tonight.


    "Since you have all those good things to say about me then you might as well say them in front of everyone on our wedding day," said Qie Ranzhe. It was the most unromantic line in history but judging from Wen Qinxi''s expression he didn''t seem to think so.


    "Say yes dad.... hahaha.... don''t keep him waiting," said the excited Qie Xieling wishing he could just take the ring and directly slide it through his dad''s fingers.


    "How can he say yes when the idiot hasn''t asked the question," interjected Madam Qie already imagining the wedding of the century.


    Qie Ranzhe heaved a deep sigh trying to calm his palpitating heart. Mummy dearest was right, he hadn''t asked the question properly so he made it right. "Su Xin, will you marry me.... again?"


    System: So cheesy


    ''You, piss off,'' replied Wen Qinxi to the irritating system while maintaining a joyous smile that reached his eyes.


    "Yes, of course," he said but just as the happy couple was about toplete the final step a rustling sounding from the bushes followed by a loud crashing sound spoilt the mood.


    "Fuck! Pei! Pei!" swore Machu who had crashed onto the porch while trying to take a closer shot. With a face covered in mud and hair full of leaves, Machu stood up but he was still smiling despite falling t on his face.


    Everyone, "...."


    What a way to ruin a perfect moment Machu.

 Chapter 378: Fourth World: Wedding Planners and Plotters

    Chapter 378: Fourth World: Wedding nners and Plotters


    The world''s messiest scribbles on Wen Qinxi''s essay titled ''what I appreciate about my love'' didn''te close to the thousand mark prescribed by the tyrant a.k.a his husband. But because he poured his heart into it Qie Ranzhe barely noticed. Anyway, this punishment was basically a p on the wrist and a cover for his true intentions.


    One might wonder what sort of words were written that literally brought this man to his knees to propose? Well, it was follows.


    <em>What I appreciate about my love</em>


    <em>There is nothing as special as having someone you can spend the rest of your life with. This is why I put on paper the words in my heart to appreciate the one I love. </em>


    <em>He is a powerful force not to be reckoned with throughout different lifetimes but that''s not what I am going to write about today. What I appreciate the most about him is the way he loves me passionately, even when it seems unreasonable. His love remains unconditional even when I do silly things. Thank you for being the world''s most enduring man.</em>


    <em>Each time I hear the words ''you are so handsome''e from him, my heart melts into a puddle and my confidence skyrockets to a whole new level. No matter what anyone says about me, it won''t bring me down because your words are embedded in my heart. Thank you for the beautiful words you say to me that hold me up no matter what I face. </em>


    <em>He is amazing, handsome and true-hearted just as the love and affection he showers on me. I am truly privileged to have such a unique selfless person in my world to fall in love with. Thank you for loving me despite all my shorings...</em>


    These were the special words written to Qie Ranzhe by Wen Qinxi minus the scratched out sentences. Wen Qinxi was never one good with words but these were his true feelings. It was these earnest words that moved the crime boss melting his icy heart.


    ***


    News of Qie Ranzhe and Su Xin''s engagement was kept under wraps to the outside world. Even their wedding ns were known by a handful but for a woman who wanted to exert revenge, she managed to get her hands on the information with ease.


    This woman was none other than Zhao Hua. Her heart was torn to pieces when she found out the man she thought of day and night while she was barred in the mountains by her father had no feelings towards her. Over the past months, she worried about him being under Qie Ranzhe''s hold.


    She came up with an borate n to run away with him as soon as her father granted her permission to leave the mountain. As long as Su Xin would still have her she would do everything and anything. When she left the mountain her sister updated her on Su Xin''s situation which further motivated her to proceed with her n.


    Who would have thought the love of her life had a massive case of Stockholm syndrome falling in love with the man who supposedly held him captive. It hurt so much but she dealt with the pain the most rational way she could think of. She wished him well and eternal happiness but Zhao Huangzhi still had to pay for deceiving and manipting her.


    Using her connections from university she managed to find out not only the date but also the location at which the lovely couple nned on having their beautiful wedding. A beachside and a low number of guests type of wedding, romantic and simple in its making. She couldn''t help but feel a tad bit jealous as she shoved her tablet to the side.


    Zhao Hua was not messing around. She had her friend spoof messages on her cellphone as though she wasmunicating with Su Xin. After making the messages look as authentic as possible she went to look for Zhao Huangzhi.


    She found her sister at her apartment pampering herself in preparation for what she could only describe as a ghost wedding. Zhao Hua rolled her eyes before putting up a happy front. "Jiejie, why didn''t you call me over so I could join you?" she asked sitting next to Zhao Huangzhi who had a y mask on her face.


    Zhao Huangzhi immediately waved away thedies doing her manicure and pedicure. She sat up straight and stared at Zhao Hua with great interest. "I thought you might be busy with your ns so I didn''t want to disturb you," replied Zhao Huangzhi with a genuine smile that would have fooled Zhao Hua in the past.


    Struggling to swallow the resentment she felt towards her older sister, Zhao Hua stood up and grabbed a bottle of mineral water from the fridge. "What happened?" asked Zhao Huangzhi after following her to the kitchen. She needed to know what was happening not that she didn''t have other means to find out.


    She had people watching the both of them in the shadows so she could find the perfect opportunity to im her seat on the throne. But if Zhao Hua wanted to share that would be even better. It meant less work on her part.


    Zhao Hua finally gathered herself and turned around with an uneasy smile. "He''s getting married on a private ind this weekend," said Zhao Hua with reddened eyes.


    It''s not that her acting was great but that these were her genuine feelings. She was sad about losing Su Xin but that''s not what hurt her the most. What pained her was her sister''s betrayal. They weren''t super close throughout the years but they never quarrelled or fought for Zhao Huangzhi to harbour such hatred towards her and go as far as ruining her. In this world, if she can''t trust her family then who else can she trust?


    Zhao Huangzhi reached over the countertop and ced her hand over Zhao Hua''s in aforting gesture urging her to continue. Zhao Hua looked down at that hand and almost broke down in anger. She swallowed hard fixing her expression and said, "He said he will escape while no one is looking and run off with me."


    Zhao Huangzhi''s expression changed slightly but sheposed herself and asked, "How does he n on doing that if it''s a private ind?"


    "He asked me to sneak in at the back of the ind with a speed boat and pick him up then we will join a nearby cruise ship that will be passing by the area and disappear together," she exined while swiping open her phone to show her their messages.


    While Zhao Huangzhi was going through the messages, Zhao Hua continued to say, "I just came to say goodbye because we might not see each other for a long time."


    Zhao Huangzhi raised her head abruptly and suggested. "There is a high likelihood that Qie Ranzhe will pursue you guys..... How about I go with you? I can at least hold him back and buy you some time."

 Chapter 379: Fourth World: Hijacking A Wedding

    Chapter 379: Fourth World: Hijacking A Wedding


    Zhao Huangzhi didn''t mince her words getting straight to the point. This is what she''s been waiting for. What she bought a dress for. With Su Xin on the run, Qie Ranzhe would be too embarrassed having been ditched at the alter by the scum of a man.


    She could take the opportunity to convince him to marry her instead and smooth out the situation. The guests wouldn''t dare question his decision and there would still be a wedding. With this thought in mind, Zhao Huangzhi was resolute in her decision but who would have thought Zhao Hua would refuse.


    "No, no, I can''t in good conscience get you involved in this mess. You know Qie Ranzhe''s temper. I can''t drag the entire family into this," eximed Zhao Hua carrying on with her act.


    Zhao Huangzhi''s smile stiffened but she quickly recovered and walked over to embrace Zhao Hua. She had to do whatever it takes to put her n in motion which included hugging her sister.


    After much convincing, Zhao Hua finally agreed and the two nned on embarking on the journey two days ahead of the big day.


    As soon as she left her sister''s apartment a sly smile crept up her face. It was about time she taught that bitch a lesson.


    ***


    While the sisters from hell were plotting against each other, the Qie Mansion was boisterous due to the uing wedding event. This wasn''t the first time these two had tied the knot in fact it would be the second time. The first time was in the second world and the ending was disastrous.


    This is why Wen Qinxi kept the details on the down-low. He not only banned Madam Qie from publicizing it on her Weibo ount to show off but Qie Xieling as well. Only the heavens know how excited the kid was. The kid went as far as escorting his dad to go pick up a suit and essories.


    Madam Qie had to find another way to expel the excitement she was repressing inside by keeping herself busy. The cake, decorations and invitation cards were all done by her. It''s not every day that her son gets married so she went all out. One wouldin that it was a bit much but she didn''t give a rat''s arse what others thought.


    The two husbands had to negotiate with her to eliminate the old traditions otherwise they wouldn''t be able to pull this off in four days. There was no official setup for dowry and betrothal gifts nor were they too particr about the colours. They had been together for so long and all they wanted was to show their love in a simple way.


    Madam Qie wasn''t hard to convince and just like that the two arranged an intimate wedding on a private ind. Wen Qinxi felt like trouble won''t follow them this far but boy was he wrong.


    While the grooms were preparing themselves for the happiest event in their lives, Zhao Hua and Zhao Huangzhi were sneaking in at the deserted part of the ind. Their speed boat lurked on the shores of the private Caribbean ind.


    It was indeed a beautiful ce but the heat had the twodies'' makeup melting under the scorching sun. It seemed they were too determined toplete their task despite the risk of getting tanned.


    Zhao Hua passed her sister some sunscreen as they stepped out of the boat. Her line of sight fell on the huge suitcase she had been eyeing this entire trip. She had asked her before why she packed so much luggage but Zhao Huangzhi gave her perfunctory answer. She could only guess that there must be a wedding dress in there.


    "They booked the entire resort but I am sure you can sneak in from the back," said Zhao Hua while standing under the shade of a tree pointing in a specific direction, "Walk east and you will find the resort."


    These words had Zhao Huangzhi pausing in her tracks asking, "Wait.... what? You aren''t going with me?"


    Zhao Hua shook her head and said, "No he said I should wait for him here so I can''t go with you. I am sorry sister but this is where our paths split."


    A terrible feeling rose in Zhao Huangzhi after hearing Zhao Hua''s words. It did make sense what she was saying but there a lot of things about this that could go wrong. For instance, her sister betraying her and ditching her in this messy situation. Well, at least that''s what Zhao Huangzhi would do.


    But she dismissed this line of thought when she saw her sister''s emotions written all over her face. She seemed to be suppressing her tears in a sorrowful farewell.


    When she sensed her sister''s waivering thoughts, Zhao Hua had to pinch her thigh to form tears in her eyes while Zhao Huangzhi wasn''t looking.


    This was thest act that sealed Zhao Huangzhi''s fate especially after Zhao Hua hugged her and whispered some heartfelt words. Zhao Huangzhi dragged her suitcase into the forest after saying, "I wish you luck."


    As soon as Zhao Huangzhi vanished in the thick bushes, Zhao Hua put on her sunsses with a calm expression before cursing, "Fuckin bitch. You dare fuck with me and that''s what you get."


    She strode over to the boat and said to the man, "Let''s go," before settling down with her legs crossed. The man was taken aback by the ruthlessness of his boss but what was he supposed to say. He switched the engine on and the boat vanished into the horizon.


    Zhao Huangzhi was heedless to all this as she snuck into the resort and found the perfect hiding ce which was the bathroom ording to her and changed into her beautiful gown.


    She put a heavy coat over her dress and all she had to do was wait for the crucial moment. From the bathroom window, she could see the wonderful beach with beautiful decorations. She couldn''t wait to walk down that makeshift aisle and be Mrs Qie.


    Lying low finally paid off as the guests began to appear in small numbers. Forty minutester the protagonist of the big day finally made his appearance melting this girl''s heart.


    To be safe she decided to dy a little and confirm that Su Xin wasn''ting. Thirty minutes went by and Su Xin hadn''t shown up yet. From afar she could see the guest''s anxious faces confirming her conjecture.


    Confident that her n was going well she tightened the straps of her coat and walked out of the bathroom ready to save the day. As soon as she approached the beach, she took off her coat and put on a thick veil before walking down the aisle gracefully.


    Zhao Huangzhi was so immersed in her dream that she didn''t notice the guest''s reactions. They knew the couple getting married was a same-sex couple but why did the second groom have to wear a dress? Let''s not even mention Qie Ranzhe''s reaction. Su Xin hid whatever he was wearing away from him but a dress? He knew this couldn''t be Su Xin but who on earth had the balls to pull such a stunt?


    If only Wen Qinxi knew his argument with Madam Qie over putting on makeup on his face could lead to some bimbo hijacking his wedding he would have let her do as she pleased.

 Chapter 380: Fourth World: Wedding disaster

    Chapter 380: Fourth World: Wedding disaster


    Thirty minutes before the wedding hijacking, Wen Qinxi was straightening out his suit jacket in front of the full-body mirror while Casio kept snapping pictures like an amateur photographer. Ting-ge couldn''t take it anymore so he confiscated the camera while scolding him, "When did you decide to be a photographer. Stick to what you know." He casually tossed the camera on the bed before fixing his bow tie.


    "What''s your problem. Xin-ge doesn''t mind," replied Casio grabbing the camera before aiming the lens at Su Xin, "Xin-ge, you don''t mind, right?"


    Wen Qinxi faced him with a charming smile and made a finger gun gesture posing for the camera.


    "Wah.... so handsome," said Casio while reviewing his best shot yet. After the car ident, he had to pick up another hobby to get over the trauma hence he picked up photography.


    While Wen Qinxi was casually fixing his hair there was a sudden knock at the door and a sweet milky voice that could only belong to Qie Xieling followed. "Dad, Nana wants toe in. I told her it''s a boy''s only room but she still won''t leave," said Qie Xieling blocking his grandma''s path.


    "We''ll leave first," said Ting-ge unwilling to offend the great goddess, "You, let''s go." He then proceeded to drag the aspiring photographer out of the room.


    Casio was unwilling, he wanted to snap a shot of the inws but he was forcibly dragged out. The two bowed before Madam Qie with their tails tucked in-between their legs. She stared at them nkly but to the two men, that look was extremely vicious so they ran off like their pants were lit on fire.


    Madam Qie sauntered in her expression brimming with joy. Behind her was Li Meimei dressed in a pink women''s suit and a dashing taper fade cut. Wen Qinxi was d he had no bridesmaids otherwise they would all be bent by her.


    Qie Xieling walked over to his dad and made him sit down marking the beginning of a thorough inspection. He lightly fixed his dad''s crew cut while Madam Qie chattered incessantly. She was still dissatisfied with her son-inw wearing white so she brought over a red suit to try and convince him.


    "It''s not a flipping funeral, Xin-er. How about you do this for your new mum, okay?" she pled with him while hanging the suit on the closet door.


    "Yes Xin-ge, do you know how hard she workedst night to have this shipped here? When she found out your suit was white, she wailed on the phone to the designer," exined Li Meimei while sitting next to him. Madam Qie had employed her as her support for a fee of course.


    "And whose fault was that?" he said staring at the culprit who was currently fiddling with his hair.


    Qie Xieling felt a little guilty. He was the one that took a picture of the suit and his grandmother identally stumbled upon it on Qie Xieling''s cellphone. None were spared. She even went after Qie Ranzhe and swapped his ck suit without his knowledge.


    "What do they think we are doing here? Throwing a funeral?" were her words at that time.


    Unfortunately for her, Qie Xieling hid his dad''s suit in advance when he found out Nana wasmitting suit heists in broad daylight. This was one of the fundamental reasons the wedding was dyed.


    Wen Qinxi sumbed under pressure and agreed. In all honesty, he didn''t care what he was wearing as long as Qie Ranzhe thought it was handsome then nothing else mattered.


    Just like this, Wen Qinxi was donned a red suit with ck studs on his ears. As soon as she entered the room she was excited looking him up and down like a fangirl.


    "Lin Lin, hurry up and tell your daddy will be a bitte," she said shoving Qie Xieling out of the room before taking out apact powder case. Wen Qinxi instantly had a bad premonition and so he ran away from her.


    "Xin-ge, just a little bit. It will look good for the camera. Look," said Li Meimei taking out lipstick from her bag, "I even brought crimson lipstick.... oh, you know what would have been great? A veil."


    Three ck lines appeared on Wen Qinxi''s face as he replied, "You are doing this on purpose, aren''t you?"


    Madam Qie was easily influenced so she said, "A veil wouldn''t work in this case but maybe when we return I will dress him and Ran-er in ancient style wedding attires for a family portrait. Wah... you will make a pretty bride." She was already picturing it in her mind while chasing after him with face powder.


    "Oh god no," was all he could say secretly lighting a candle for himself.


    While these women persisted in powdering Wen Qinxi''s face, his wedding was getting hijacked by a girl in a red dress. Qie Xieling had just arrived downstairs and found someone who wasn''t his dad walking down the aisle with a veil covering their face.


    Qie Ranzhe''s brows were furrowed about to send Machu to handle it when Qie Xieling appeared out of nowhere and kicked whoever it was on the shin. The sudden attack took Zhao Huangzhi by surprise. She yelped and a melodious female voice emerged from under the thick veil.


    "Ouch," she said holding her shin while turning around to see who had the balls, "You fuckin brat. Why did you kick me?"


    The guests gasped in horror as Machu ran over to drag Zhao Huangzhi but Qie Xieling pushed him away and took hold of Zhao Huangzhi''s bouquet. He then began to hit her with it.


    The scene turned chaotic. On one hand, Zhao Huangzhi was screaming her hair dishevelled with flower petals sticking out. On the other, Qie Xieling was being held back by Casio and Ting-ge while cursing her out like a sailor. The kid was small but surprisingly had a lot of strength when angered.


    These chaotic sounds had Madam Qie and Li Meimei looking out of the window in a matter of seconds. Wen Qinxi had already bolted out of the room rushing over like a raging bull. He was most definitely going to break his rule of beating women. That woman sabotaged his wedding twice. If he didn''t hit her today then his name is not Wen Qinxi.


    As soon as Qie Ranzhe spotted Su Xining, he walked over to stop him. This was the reason they had subordinates so what was the point of making Su Xin''s hands dirty especially on their wedding day.


    "Baby, calm down. They will take care of it. See, Lin Lin beat the shit out of her for you," he said blocking Su Xin''s path.


    Wen Qinxi was angered to the point of seeing red. He was irrational and impulsive trying to get past Qie Ranzhe. "Don''t baby me, that fucker needs to die," yelled Wen Qinxi almost seeding to bypass Qie Ranzhe.


    Qie Ranzhe was too focused on calming Su Xin that he didn''t notice his mother charging towards themotion like a wrestler rushing into the ring to unleash the wrath of god.


    Men can''t beat women, it''s taboo but when women beat other women it might be forgivable. Madam Qie was the least bit polite pping her so hard that the crowd quieted down. That p was so loud that it echoed the entire ind making the guests draw in a breath of cold air. Zhao Huangzhi instantly passed out from that one p.


    "Tie her up," roared Madam Qie. It wasn''t certain who she was talking to so everyone around her hastened their steps to do as she said. The passed out Zhao Huangzhi was tied up and her mouth shut by durable duct tape.

 Chapter 381: Fourth World: Kinky Pervert

    Chapter 381: Fourth World: Kinky Pervert


    "Good, you wanted to attend the wedding then will give you a front-row seat," she said as Machu dragged her before tossing her right at the front.


    She then turned to the crowd of onlookers and yelled, "What are you standing around for? We have a wedding to attend." Her aura was both terrifying and imposing that everyone straightened their chairs and sat down like obedient preschoolers.


    Madam Qie straightened Qie Xieling''s clothes and led him to sit down as well while wiping his face. She then took out her cellphone and took a picture of Zhao Huangzhi before sending Mr Zhao a message.


    MamaBearQie: You are so fuckin dead.


    This was the message she sent over with a picture of the offender attached to it. Only the heavens know how panicked Mr Zhao was when he saw that message. He was busy rolling in between the sheets with his mistress and when he saw that message his thing softened on the spot.


    He kicked his mistress out of the bed and left the country that very day by himself. The coward even left his wife behind without warning her. His motto was ''one man for himself, god for us all''.


    Wen Qinxi wanted to check on Qie Xieling but Qie Ranzhe stopped him and said, "Mom will take care of him. Let''s, let''s just get married baby. I am tired of waiting," before nting a kiss on the man''s cheek.


    "Hey, hey.... you two. We don''t have all day! Save that for the bridal chamber!" yelled Madam Qie hating iron for not being steel.


    The two men stared at each other chuckling while walking down the aisle hand to hand. The perfect ending to a beautiful day.


    Be it kowtowing three times, exchanging vows or rings, Zhao Huangzhi witnessed it all. Madam Qie had Machu pour icy cold water on her and wake her up. The method effectively roused her from her slumber in an instant.


    She helplessly watched Qie Ranzhe wed Su Xin. Since her hands and feet were tied up and her lips sealed, Zhao Huangzhi could only resort to cursing internally.


    The left side of her face was swollen with scratches from Madam Qie''s nails. Her wet hair was tangled with flower stems sticking out and a stream of mascara ran down her cheeks looking especially tragic. She looked pitiful but no one paid attention to her mostly because no one wanted to be on Madam Qie''s bad side.


    After the ceremony, Qie Ranzhe suddenly picked up Su Xin and carried him away startling everyone. But no one was as startled as Wen Qinxi himself.


    "Wait, where the fuck are you taking me?" He asked feeling rather embarrassed for being carried this way. He would rather be carried like a sack of potatoes rather than in a princess carry.


    "It''s a surprise," said Qie Ranzhe carrying him to the dock with ease. He finally put him down and jumped into the speed boat. Qie Ranzhe beckoned with his fingers for him toe over but Wen Qinxi couldn''t move a muscle.


    "I can''t fuckin swim. What if it capsizes?" he said taking a step back while the guests took pictures of the two. Fair point. For a guy who can''t swim water would be his biggest enemy but Qie Ranzhe wasn''t messing around.


    "Then we''ll role-y the titanic scene," he said in a light chuckle before pulling him in.


    Qie Xieling caught up and asked with a sullen expression, "Where are you two going. Can Ie too?" But he was ruthlessly shut down by Qie Ranzhe.


    "Stay with Nana and will be back soon," before speeding through the water like a couple running away from their toddler so they can have date night. Qie Ranzhe was right to speed off because Qie Xieling was seriously considering jumping into the boat.


    Wen Qinxi wanted to reprimand Qie Ranzhe for ditching their kid but he was so frightened curling up instead of enjoying the experience. He couldn''t help but question who does this? A speed boat is like a tiny ind in the ocean with a high probability of sinking so why would anyone willingly get on one.


    Qie Ranzhe pulled him over and made him stand in front of the steering wheel. Wen Qinxi was about to panic when Qie Ranzhe stood behind him their bodies pressed against each other. "Shh... don''t panic, daddy is here," he said whispering in Su Xin''s ear.


    Abination of adrenaline, danger and seduction evoked an involuntary arousal in Wen Qinxi. He was so embarrassed when he got hard from such a messed up thing. Qie Ranzhe noticed and licked his bottom lip with a sly grin. He pressed their hands together and helped him steer the speed boat to a deserted small ind.


    "We are here," said Qie Ranzhe anchoring the speed boat. He then rolled up his trousers, took off his shoes and jumped into the clear blue ocean. Qie Ranzhe then stretched out his hands beckoning to Su Xin to get into his arms.


    Wen Qinxi would rather be on drynd than on this tiny boat so he obediently hopped into his arms and Qie Ranzhe carried him to shore.


    The miniature ind was indeed a sight to behold. If it was any other day, Wen Qinxi would have been eager to explore but he had guests and a wedding banquet waiting for him. With that in mind, he turned around and asked, What are we doing here?"


    To his surprise, Qie Ranzhe had already removed his suit jacket and spread a pic nket on the ground. "A romantic pic," he said with a wolfish grin on his face.


    Wen Qinxi''s brows creased eyeing Qie Ranzhe with suspicion. They could have done this tomorrow so why the rush? Qie Ranzhe spread out some misceneous things from the pic basket before popping a bottle of proso. The fizzy liquid spilt out intensifying the festive atmosphere.


    Qie Ranzhe poured out half a ss and said, "Sit," patting the space beside him.


    Wen Qinxi took off his shoes and sat beside him without much thought. If he had known Qie Ranzhe''s true purpose for bringing him here he would have made a break for it and hid in the resort. Like a wee littlemb, he was lured into the trap by the kinky tiger.


    Qie Ranzhe drank a sip but he didn''t swallow. Instead, he pressed Su Xin down on the nket and forced the bubbly liquid down the man''s throat while kissing him. Wen Qinxi wasn''t prepared for the sudden vicious attack that he could only lie there obediently.


    The fierce passionate kiss had the two rolling around in each other''s arms out in the open. It seemed Wen Qinxi still possessed some form of rationality because he pushed Qie Ranzhe away with a face as red as a beetroot. Boy, he has a thick face but not thick enough to do this and that outside.


    "What are you nning to do?" he asked as he struggled to catch his breath.


    Qie Ranzhe chuckled lightly while enthusiastically grinding his hot rod against Su Xin''s thigh. "You still have to ask?..... Okay, I will say it," replied Qie Ranzhe before leaning down to whisper in his ear, "I want to fuck you right here. You can cry out all you want because no one can hear you except me."


    Wen Qinxi, "..."


    ''Damn it... He''s a kinky pervert,'' thought Wen Qinxi with no means of escape.

 Chapter 382: Fourth World: Ran-ge Drooling Over His Wife

    Chapter 382: Fourth World: Ran-ge Drooling Over His Wife


    Qie Ranzhe made sure he fed his bride both ways on that deserted ind and only took him back to the wedding banquet when they were both satisfied.


    Satisfied? Yes, Wen Qinxi was satisfied but he was also aching. Only the heavens know how nervous he was with each thrust. He was so afraid to be seen which undoubtedly made it more exciting but it was simply too much pressure.


    At some point during sexercise on the beach, he heard something rustling in the bushes and instantly softened down south. His soul flew out of his body at that moment making Qie Ranzhe displeased. Qie Ranzhe had kissed him viciously after that and pounded him like there was no tomorrow. Wen Qinxi got hard from such provocation that the fear he felt earlier was reced by intense pleasure.


    He was so worn out by the time they returned to the resort. The nerd had to down a couple of energy drinks to attend the banquet. This is why Wen Qinxi was ring at him during the festivities. Qie Ranzhe was so energetic as though he was injected with chicken blood. Of the two of them, it seemed he was the one suffering the most.


    This man was so sly that he promised they would only do it once but of course, how could it be that simple? They had a rare chance to have an entire ind as a bridal chamber so Qie Ranzhe broke his promise and did it a second time.


    To express his dissatisfaction, Wen Qinxi decided to act like a proper shameless shou throughout the entire banquet. He red, red, red and red some more till his eyes hurt. Qie Ranzhe knew he blindsided Su Xin and didn''t give him enough time to mentally prepare. If he told him in advance, don''t talk about negotiating, he would have been coldly rejected.


    Besides, it was more exciting seeing him squirm while trying to escape. Once Su Xin got into it, it was the most rewarding experience especially the way he moaned when he took him from behind.


    That thought had Qie Ranzhe''s JJ rising under the table. He couldn''t help it, Su Xin was too sexy. cing his arm behind Su Xin''s chair he leaned in and whispered, "Baby, if you keep staring at me like that I won''t be able to help myself."


    Wen Qinxi''s face sank wondering how on earth he got mixed up with a horny beast. "re, not stare. I am fuckin ring at you," exined Wen Qinxi into his ear. The music was too loud so he had to whisper.


    Qie Ranzhe smiled sweetly and said, "ring or staring, it doesn''t make a difference to me. Look what you have done," before taking Su Xin''s hand and ced it on his crotch.


    The heat from that ce brushed against Wen Qinxi''s fingers making him retract his hand like he had touched something hot. His cheeks turned pink as he withdrew his gaze while taking a sip of wine. He had to get away from Qie Ranzhe otherwise they won''t make it to the hotel room. The urge to shove him into a bathroom was growing stronger and stronger.


    It''s a good thing, Qie Xieling came to the rescue. He stood at the opposite end of the high table and said, "Let''s go dance together." The kid was referring to the both of them but Qie Ranzhe''s unfortunate condition made it inconvenient for now. Besides, he wasn''t one to dance so he shook his head in refusal.


    Who would have thought his husband would ditch him without a conscience. "Let''s go... your daddy has issues so he can only watch," said Wen Qinxi taking Qie Xieling''s hand before walking away.


    "Baby....e back," said Qie Ranzhe but Su Xin ignored him and joined Qie Xieling on the dance floor.


    Wen Qinxi wasn''t a dancer in the real world but he and Wen Danzhe used to fool around with the music on full st when their mother wasn''t around. It was one of the happiest times in his life because for once he could be unrestrained and free. The bright smile that apanied those mediocre dance skills was enough to charm anyone especially Mr Qie at the high table.


    With his elbows on the table, Qie Ranzhe stared intently at the man of his dreams with a beaming smile that could shake the earth. Machu couldn''t help but sit beside him and pat his shoulder saying, "Ran-ge, you are drooling."


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t move his gaze away from Su Xin while giving him an unintelligent response. "En," was all he said making Machu question what type of drug Su Xin fed his boss to stupefy him. If that drug exists he wouldn''t mind buying it for personal use.


    "What did you two do after the ceremony? Is it something fun?" asked Machu taking a sip of a funny looking blue cocktail, "Maybe I can go check it outter."


    It was this question that finally had Qie Ranzhe''s gaze shift to look at Machu. He answered, "I will tell you when you get a wife," concise and straight to the point stabbing at this single dog''s sore spot.


    "Ran-ge, you really know how to trample over my heart. Cold and heartless,"ined Machu after being roasted for no reason.


    While the two friends were chatting away, Zhao Huangzhi was given a front-row seat as promised. Her hands and feet were bound to the chair. With the duct tape covering her mouth she couldn''t speak. She could only watch the boisterous crowd celebrating all around her.


    It was Su Xin''s gang of merry bandits that were surrounding her supposedly to keep her in check. She had to endure Li Meimei''s incessant lecture to get over Qie Ranzhe which was rather annoying.


    "You are a beautiful woman so why are you obsessed with one sea bass when they are plenty of fish in the sea?" exined Li Meimei with her finger tracing the rim of her wine ss.


    "True, true, I mean they''re a lot of men who would kowtow at your feet and make you their goddess but instead you chase a married man. How does that make sense?" said Casio while taking a picture of the father and son dancing on the dance floor.


    Ting-ge saw Zhao Huangzhi roll her eyes expressing her mockery so he said, "There must be something wrong with her head.


    Zhao Huangzhi red at Ting-ge like she was going to skin him alive if given the chance but she was like a toothless bulldog. All bark no bite.


    "Haha, too bad you won''t live long enough to get the help you desperately need," whispered Ting-ge in a menacing tone.


    This would have scared Zhao Huangzhi but she truly believed her father was alreadying for her. She couldn''t wait to be free and exert revenge on all those who wronged her. Number one on her kill list would be Su Xin, followed by that brat who beat her up with her bouquet and finally this Ting-ge person. She would have her dad cut out his tongue first for calling her crazy. Let''s not forget Zhao Hua for lying to her. Her father wouldn''t punish her sister so she would have toe up with her own form of punishment. Zhao Huangzhi was caught between an acid attack to ruin her face or a sh and take her sister''s vanity away.

 Chapter 383: Fourth World: Lanterns Of Love

    Chapter 383: Fourth World: Lanterns Of Love


    If Wen Qinxi knew her thoughts he wouldn''t have hesitated to make her disappear the very first time he came into this world. Such a ck-hearted person doesn''t deserve to walk among normal people.


    "Even a guy like Casio wouldn''t mind dating you. At least he would shower you with so much love and make you feel like a princess," suggested Li Meimei with a sly smile on her face.


    Casio''s face turned ashen thinking of it. He felt his entire dinner creep up his throat. He was greatly disturbed by this notion that he couldn''t help but ask, "Mei-Jie, do you hate me that much? Why would I want anything to do with a psycho? How about you? Why not offer yourself up as a sacrifice?"


    Li Meimei chuckled while Ting-ge pulled Casio to his side just in case Zhao Huangzhi took it seriously. "Shh.... don''t give her ideas," he said wishing he could duct tape Li Meimei''s mouth as well. After all, who can fathom the mind of a psychopath?


    "I can''t sacrifice myself because she''s into men," replied Li Meimei.


    "When has that ever stopped you?" said Casio in an usatory tone, "She looks like a trainwreck right now but I am certain she will be your type after a good clean up."


    Li Meimei propped the side of her head with her hand staring at Zhao Huangzhi with a cunning smile. "You are right... She is the type I like to kill," answered Li Meimei while raising a single brow.


    Zhao Huangzhi snorted and looked away from this group of idiots. If Madam Qie''s purpose was to torture her then she had seeded. Zhao Huangzhi was officially tortured. If she only knew what awaited her in the not so distant future she wouldn''t haveined about this.


    Even Qie Ranzhe had to congratte her for officially making Madam Qiee out of retirement. This is because in a few hours Madam Qie personally tortured her to death. After watching such harsh and cruel methods Ting-ge begged to worship her as a master. One look at her face and one wouldn''t think she was as cruel as Hannibal Lector minus the cannibalistic tendencies of course.


    Back to the present, Zhao Huangzhi''s stray gaze fell on Qie Ranzhe who was ogling at Su Xin like a hungry beast. Her heart twisted painfully as a tear flowed from her swollen eyes. She couldn''t help but ask herself what it would take to get Qie Ranzhe to look at her like that? Did she have to undergo a sex change or something to get his attention?


    Bizzare ideas like these raced through her mind but the person she was thinking about didn''t even spare her a nce. She stomped her feet feeling life was truly unfair.


    Unfair as it may seem to her, Qie Ranzhe was the happiest man alive. He walked over to Su Xin and whispered something in his ear and the family of three went outside.


    The guests followed behind after Machu announced something to the crowd. Zhao Huangzhi was also dragged along into the starry summer night. It was about time they releasednterns so the grooms can finally have their first night of marital bliss.


    If only people knew that the bridal chamber was done ahead of time before the banquet, they would facepalm in defeat.


    Wen Qinxi and Qie Ranzhe lit theirntern with written characters blessing their marriage before releasing it into the sky. Once the firstntern rose to the sky, several more followed and the starry night was suddenly painted bright yellow creating a beautiful scene straight from a painting.


    The four of them sat on thewn watching the skies with beaming smiles. One could only describe this scene as the perfect ending to a troublesome world. Wen Qinxi was lying in Su Xin''s embrace while Qie Xieling''s head rested on his dad''sp.


    As instructed Machu sent out a warning to the entire underworld to stay furthest away from Su Xin. If none of themplies the punishment would be severe. The severity of the consequences will be demonstrated through the Zhao family''s demise starting with Zhao Huangzhi.


    Madam Qie embraced her two sons, kissed them both on their cheeks before saying, "Don''t overdo it," pointing at the both of them before walking away. She had a pig to ughter tonight and the earlier she starts the earlier she goes to bed.


    As soon as she was gone, Wen Qinxi mumbled, "Toote for that advice," as a slight sting from his backside reminded him of the ind sexcapades.


    Qie Ranzhe smiled and pulled him closer with his hands on Su Xin''s waist. "It''s not like you can''t handle it," he said with an evil smirk on his face.


    Wen Qinxi pursed his lips trying to maintain a straight face. "Noment," he said with his cheeks gradually heating up.


    Qie Xieling raised his head from his dad''sp and asked, "Handle what?" with a puzzled look.


    Qie Ranzhe lightly smacked him upside his head and said, "Stay out of adult business."


    "Ouch.... dad look. He''s hitting people,"ined Qie Xieling pouting his lips while rubbing his head. If there is one thing Qie Xieling knows to do well, it''s acting pitiful but the sess rate was fairly low when it came to these two.


    Wen Qinxi rubbed the back of Qie Xieling''s head while questioning him. "How did you even hear that when we were whispering?"


    "Whisper? Ha! It''s more like a loud whisper," eximed Qie Xieling while lying back down.


    "Can you hear this?" asked Wen Qinxi before whispering something to Qie Ranzhe as an experiment.


    Qie Xieling rubbed his ear and answered, "You said you love Lin Lin and Ran-ge."


    Wen Qinxi, "...."


    "You see why I took you to the ind? You always hold back when.... you know..... No matter how good the soundproofing is, there is a certain someone who has excellent hearing," exined Qie Ranzhe. Besides his kinky preferences, he wanted to hear his man scream without worrying about being heard and boy, was it worth it.


    Qie Xieling sat up straight again and asked, "What? Is there something I am not supposed to hear? Are you two keeping something from me?.... Am I going to have a little brother?..... Ouch..... If daddy keeps hitting me like that I will be stupid. Do you want an idiot for a son?"


    "A stupid one is better than a mouthy one," replied Qie Ranzhe while pinching those cheeks with verve.


    Wen Qinxi chuckled while responding, "Little brother my foot. More like a puppy.... maybe."


    While this harmonious family were squabbling over trivial matters, Zhao Huangzhi was getting her skin peeled off by a ferocious mama bear with a vendetta. Be it crashing the wedding, cursing or fighting Qie Xieling, Zhao Huangzhi paid for all of it in one go.


    No amount of snort and tears could move this woman. Once she was done with her she mailed parts of her to the entire Zhao family including Mr Zhao who thought he had run far away. She was mailed in neat red packages.


    When Wen Qinxi found out he was so grateful Su Xin dodged a bullet otherwise this character would have had the same fate as Miss Zhao.

 Chapter 384: Fifth World: Lin Lin The Arrogant Little Brat

    Chapter 384: Fifth World: Lin Lin The Arrogant Little Brat


    All good things muste to an end is a proverb that means nothingsts forever or happiness is fleeting. Wen Qinxi especially rted to this statement as hey on the ground like a t pancake unable to discern what happened.


    When he fell asleepst night, he was in bed with Qie Ranzhe and Qie Xieling. The three people huddled in a king-size bed with him in the middle. The reason why Qie Xieling was there was that he refused to leave iming that grandma was busy and he was scared to sleep in a room by himself.


    After much appeasing, Qie Ranzhe finally agreed but he had a lot of conditions in ce which included going to the so-called bridal chamber ind the very next day. Wen Qinxi felt cold shivers down his spine thinking about the anxiety and thrill that came with having sex on the beach. Thinking one only lives once he agreed to it. In some way, he was sort of looking forward to it.


    Who would have expected he would wake up and that beautiful world had vanished. Wen Qinxi covered his eyes with both his hands concealing his emotions that were spilling over. In a way, this was taking an emotional toll on him but at least this time he didn''t die.


    "Boss..... um.... are you okay?" inquired the system in a hesitant tone. It wasn''t used to this kind of Wen Qinxi, the silent gloomy type so it approached with caution lest it gets caught up in something that had nothing to do with it.


    "En," replied Wen Qinxi remaining motionless on the ground. "Can you open amunication channel now? I think I need a fuckin break."


    The system felt like pulling out its hair in frustration thinking of how it wasn''t operating at full capacity. Jolie could tell its boss wasn''t in the mood so it fumbled over its words.


    "I, well, here is the thing. Apart from you, no one can fix gship so they haven''t figured out how to fix it... You have one more world to go and I am fairly certain it would be working then."


    Even actors need time to re-adjust their emotions when they take up intense roles but he didn''t have the choice in the matter. Wen Qinxi was about to throw out curses to vent out his frustration when a system prompt appeared as bright and colourful as ever.


    System: Congrattions onpleting the Fourth World_


    System: Press yes to proceed into the Fifth and final world.


    Wen Qinxi sat up straight thinking he should just take some time off in the darkness but it was too much to hope for. As it turns out whether he pressed yes or not he was still sucked into the Fifth World without his consent. This time he knew to keep his mouth shut especially after his experience in the third world.


    ''Shit! Jolie, it fuckin happened again,'' heined as the darkness dissipated from his eyes. He was yet again tossed into another world without a script or any idea of what was happening.


    ''Boss, calm down. I will load the game files just now. It''s a Xianxia world this time.... just hold on,'' replied the system walking on eggshells. They were nearing the end of the road and it hoped to coax this boss lest he owns up to his word and execute punishment for all the crazy things it did. To the system, this was like judgement day and if it didn''t leave a good impression it would be given the harshest sentence a.k.a an AI for a smart toilet.


    Wen Qinxi wasn''t aware of the system''s line of thought as he had his own problems. Currently, he was in a huge hall straight from the heavens. It was a high ceiling grand hall with pirs furbished in gold and rubies. The design was of the highest sophistication surpassing the Vatican cathedral ten times over.


    The seats on the sides of the hall were packed by over two hundred young people divided by the colour of their robes. To the east of the hall, three groups were wearing red, orange and sky blue robes with unique designs and patterns.


    To the west side of the hall were also three groups wearing violet, green and pink robes. The ones in pink robes were only women, beautiful women at that.


    As for him, he was seated at the high table with several elders and senior disciples all dressed in different coloured robes. It was easy to tell who led which sect from their clothing.


    Curious, Wen Qinxi looked down at his own robe silently praying it wasn''t pink otherwise it might mean he was a woman in this world. The colour was a beautiful sky blue bringing tears into his eyes. Just in case that kinky bastard conjured up a strange world and turned him into a woman, Wen Qinxi felt up his chest and heaved a sigh of relief when he realised it was as t as ever.


    "What are you doing?" asked the elder gentleman sitting next to him. He was also wearing a sky blue robe but it was of superior quality. This could only mean one thing. He was most likely his sect leader. ''Fuck! Jolie you better fucking hurry up otherwise I will get found out and used of possession,'' he said to the system eyeing the man in vexation.


    The man eyed his chest with a raised brow before his gaze moved up to his face. "I know you don''t want the Qie sect to take your sister away but believe me if I refused that brat he would find other ways of making trouble for us. Now.... don''t be angry with me anym-," he exined but he was interrupted when the main doors were harshly pushed open.


    The once boisterous hall fell silent as a group of fifteen youngsters donned in ck robes entered with an imposing aura. In front was a familiar yet much older face. Wen Qinxi narrowed his eyes studying the arrogant punk''s profile with great interest. It wasn''t Qie Ranzhe but a certain kid.


    ''What the fuck?'' thought Wen Qinxi wondering how his cute little man turned arrogant one world over.


    Qie Xieling cupped his hands and bowed before the elders with a sly disrespectful smile that had Wen Qinxi itching to walk over there and discipline him. This is the exact reason why Qie Ranzhe can''t be left to raise a kid by himself. Wen Qinxi took a sip of the warm tea right in front of him ironically to cool down his anger.


    "Sect leader Zhao, you lost the bet," said Qie Xieling with an evil smile, "it''s about time you pay the piper."


    The so-called sect leader Zhao was the man sitting right next to Wen Qinxi. He flung his teacup at Qie Xieling who dodged with ease. Seeing that he didn''t manage to hit the brat, the sect leader lost his temper.


    "You!..... What are you being arrogant for? If you have the ability, why didn''t you fight in the arena instead of using others? Such a wastrel with no ounce of cultivation yet you prance around my peak like apeacock! If your father wasn''t sect leader Qie, I would have burnt you to death," said sect leader Zhao with his mouth foaming in anger.

 Chapter 385: Fifth World: Lin Lins Butt Spanked In Public

    Chapter 385: Fifth World: Lin Lin''s Butt Spanked In Public


    This time he picked up a teapot and he was about to throw it at him but Wen Qinxi grasped the man''s wrist subconsciously. Yes, Qie Xieling was a little brat right now but it was his duty to discipline him not an outsider. This is why despite knowing zilch about the situation he still reached out to defend him.


    To his surprise, the sect leader''s anger cooled by a huge degree patting Wen Qinxi''s hand gesturing he was okay. It seemed his rtionship with this sect leader was especially good.


    Qie Xieling naturally saw all this and when his gaze fell on Wen Qinxi, his heart jolted for no reason. An eerie smile crept up his handsome face as an interesting idea shed in his mind.


    "Since sect leader Zhao lost fair and square it''s about time you honour our agreement," said Qie Xieling while gesturing to the boy beside him to bring over a long blue jade box. The boy opened it revealing its contents. Lo and behold, it was a beautiful silver sword with a sky blue hilt with a wave design. But it wasn''t its appearance that stood out rather the power emanating from it.


    The entire hall lost its calm as whispers filled the air. Wen Qinxi wasn''t a full-fledged fan of Xianxia type of scenarios but judging from the elders'' reactions it must be a rare divine artefact. It now made sense why an old man would agree to such a bet and let go of his disciple for a super awesome sword.


    "This is what you would have received if your disciple won but unfortunately.... he lost. I can hand it over to you," said Qie Xieling as the boy closed the jade box and retreated.


    "What do you want in return?" asked the sect leader in pink who had no business intervening. She had no use for this divine artefact but loved drama so she asked while twirling a loose strand of hair in between her fingers.


    Qie Xieling chuckled lightly and said, "Sect leader Fei, this has nothing to do with you but now that you ask, I am obliged to answer." He paced twice while rubbing his chin as though thinking it through.


    If he only knew that a certain someone was itching to spank him, he would have toned it down. As the saying goes, people perish due to ack of knowledge.


    "Instead of senior sister Huangzhi then hand over senior disciple Zhi to join my father''s harem," he said pointing at Wen Qinxi who was sipping on some tea to calm down. But as soon as he heard the word harem he did a perfect spit take on sect leader Zhao as the crowd broke down in an uproar.


    Words like arrogant, stupid and crazy were thrown around but Wen Qinxi was busy apologizing to his master. The man seemed to have a good temper because he didn''t scold him choosing to remain silent. The older man used a talisman to dry himself before yelling at Qie Xieling. "Are you crazy!"


    Wen Qinxi was asking himself the same question unable to hold back his rage. This kid was busy walking around the entire peak pimping out women for his father''s harem. ''Good.... very good,'' thought Wen Qinxi at his tipping point.


    "Father," said Zhao Huangzhi who was sitting on the far end of the table. She was the one who was supposed to join Qie Ranzhe''s harem so what was this situation?


    "So what''s it going to be? The sword or your beloved son," said Qie Xieling with zero sense of danger. Wen Qinxi was so angry he didn''t give a rat''s arse about OOC. He stormed over and grabbed Qie Xieling''s wrist. Because his cultivation stage was way higher than that of the Qie sect members he easily subdued them by creating a barrier separating them from Qie Xieling. This intricate barrier was also soundproofed so no one would be able to hear what they were saying.


    They were right, Qie Xieling was as powerless as a regr mortal which meant he could spank that kid to his heart''s content. Maybe it was out of anger that he was able to create that barrier without familiarizing himself with the character. "You little brat. Busy recruiting women into your father''s harem instead of cultivating. I am going to teach you a fuckin lesson," said Wen Qinxi spanking the supposedly seventeen-year-old.


    The entire hall witnessed the arrogant young master get his butt spanked in public. Qie Xieling tried to squirm out off Wen Qinxi''s hold but all attempts were futile. He was instead led out of the hall by the elbow and Wen Qinxi locked the hall doors from the outside using another barrier. This was to prevent onlookers froming outside to see the rest of the show.


    Qie Xieling who had his tiny butt spanked staggered backwards pointing at him. "Shixiong, you!..... You spanked me," said Qie Xieling in an aggrieved tone.


    "Serves you right... if I hear you are doing this again, I will spank you even harder next time," said Wen Qinxi before walking away in anger. He was all for time outs and a proud member of the anti slippermunity but he was so angry hepletely lost it. Now he understood why his mother would take off her slipper and chase after him and his brother when she was angry. Thankfully he didn''t use much strength when he was spanking Qie Xieling otherwise the boy would be going home in a stretcher. "Jolie, get me the fuckin game files," yelled Wen Qinxi now taking it out on the system. How can he not be angry? Firstly, he has no idea what is going on. Secondly, his sweetheart has a harem, allegedly. Thirdly, his son is the one recruiting women. WTF!


    This world was off to a shitty start and Wen Qinxi was not in a good mood.


    As soon as Wen Qinxi left, the elders finally managed to break the barrier only to find Qie Xieling staring at Zhao Zhi''s departing back. His sect members hurried over to check on the young master holding their hearts in their hands. If he has even a tiny scratch on him, the entire group would be subject to punishment. Their sect leader was the silent type but offend him and one would witness the fierce ruler hidden beneath. They heaved a sigh of relief after careful inspection.


    It''s just that their inspection didn''t extent to concealed areas especially butt injuries. "Young master Qie, are you okay?" asked one of his attendees but Qie Xieling would rather die than reveal what hurt.


    "Let''s go, our business here is done," said Qie Xieling gritting his teeth to swallow down the pain and brave it out. If he so much as grimace in pain he would sell himself out.


    They were about to leave the peak when Zhao Huangzhi ran over saying, "Young master Qie, aren''t you taking me with you?"


    Qie Xieling had already been spanked for this so he said, "No need... Sect leader Zhao, the deal is off," before descending the peak in haste. He had a feeling that Zhao Zhi was the person they had been looking for but he wasn''t certain mostly because the gender was wrong. This is why he refused Zhao Huangzhi to follow them to their sect.


    Zhao Huangzhi''s face twisted in an ugly way but she had already embarrassed herself enough. She shut her mouth and looked in her father''s direction seeking assistance. But sect leader Zhao shook his head with a scowl on his face squashing her dreams in an instant.


    ''Zhao! Zhi,'' she roared internally harbouring tons of resentment.


    Thus the start of another adventurous journey zed over with love.

 Chapter 386: Fifth World: Hardest World Yet

    Chapter 386: Fifth World: Hardest World Yet


    There is nothing much scarier than a pissed off Wen Qinxi roaming around aimlessly. His body was surrounded by a dark looming shadow as though umting the world''s entire resentment energy. If he knew where this character lived, he would have shut himself off rather than scare the sect''s junior disciples.


    Everyone knew Zhao Zhi was an approachable person with a great temperament despite being their senior but today it was like he was shouldering decades worth of resentment all in one go.


    Those who were smart enough ran off as soon as they saw him but the stupid ones greeted him resulting in them being at the receiving end of an oppressive pressure. Concerned that he might stir up trouble for himself, Wen Qinxi picked an isted forest and walked in without considering what could be lurking inside the thick bushes. He found his way to the edge of a cliff overlooking a deep valley and sat down trying to calm himself down.


    This was too much for him to handle especially when he wasing from a world brimming with happiness only to plunge into a sea of despair. What made it worse was that he had no idea what he was dealing with. If this continued he might end up having an emotional breakdown.


    Lucky for him, the system came through for him but the information didn''t necessarily make him feel better.


    In this world, Qie Ranzhe was a talented young master from a prominent family in the cultivation world. Everything about his life was perfect and subject to envy. That is until the day abyrinth suddenly appeared near the Qie family property.


    Being the righteous fair type of person, Master Qie openly publicised the presence of such abyrinth to all the righteous sect leaders. While awaiting the arrival of the sect leaders to tackle thebyrinth together something unexpected happened.


    A random group of demonic cultivars stormed the Qie Mansion and forcibly opened thebyrinth but this so-calledbyrinth wasn''t as simple as it seemed. It turns out it was the door to some type of underworld but this ce was far worse than hell.


    The entire mansion and surrounding towns were engulfed in this eerie dark ce filled with monsters and beasts only known to exist in fairy tales and folklore. To prevent any creatures from escaping out of this hellish ce, the cultivars of the Qie family sealed off the entire area with a dome-shaped barrier.


    That is after discovering that none of them could escape from this cmity. It was basically a one-way entrance, one could enter but none could leave.


    The ferocious creatures hunted down the cultivars consuming them whole till there was nothing left, bones and all. A bloody massacre wiped out the entire poption with only a few survivors including Qie Ranzhe. He knew he couldn''t leave so the only thing he could do was maintain the barrier as much as possible till the righteous sect leaders arrived.


    Because he was the only remaining member of the Qie family it meant he had no help whatsoever maintaining the barrier. The surviving demon cultivars were basically useless as they could only think about keeping themselves alive.


    He had to endure the pain of watching his entire family massacred in front of him and still maintain a level head to keep the already weak barrier intact.


    Exhausted and grieving, Qie Ranzhe copsed as soon as the righteous sect arrived to close the gatewaypletely. He had already epted his fate the moment he stopped fighting. But who would have thought he would wake up beside a spiritualke in a Shaolin sect halfway across the continent. But he wasn''t alone.


    In his arms was a wrapped up dumpling that closely resembled him. The monks didn''t know how he ended up there let alone where the baby came from. The highest-ranking Taoist priest examined them both and found that they had the mark of evil attached to their spiritual roots that couldn''t be extracted.


    Qie Ranzhe had been demoted from thete core formation stage falling back to thete foundation establishment. The mark on his spiritual root meant he couldn''t make any further breakthrough no matter how hard he cultivates.


    As for the little dumpling, he had an intricate seal on his dantian, a seal that could only be removed by whoever ced it in the first ce.


    The only good news was that whoever did this was definitely in the mortal realm as traces of their powerful dark Qi was all over the ce making this Taoist priest ufortable.


    They could have helped him track the culprit and eliminate the evil entity but the dark Qi was minuscule because the Yao had taken human form. They had to wait till the Yao returned to its original form which would intensify its Qi but Qie Ranzhe couldn''t wait.


    Whatever creature it was, it had taken a human form and since it had produced a child, it must be female. With that in mind, Qie Ranzhe went on the hunt looking for this female Yao that took advantage of him and hindered his progress. This meant every woman with a dodgy background was a suspect. This so-called harem was nothing more than a silent observation to catch the culprit.


    Besides his unusual hobby of collecting harem members, Qie Ranzhe started his own sect after being shunned by the Zhao sect. He used to be the sect''s senior disciple before this cmity befell the Qie family but when he returned he bore the me for the massacre.


    Questions like how did he manage to escape and why did he escape alone were tossed around resulting in him being cklisted in the righteous sects. Despite cklisting him Qie Ranzhe rose above them as it wasn''t only his cultivation that made him shine. His resourcefulness and ingenuity made the Qie sect rise from the dust to one of the major sects in the cultivation world.


    What he didn''t know was that behind the curtain someone was plotting against him from the very beginning. The same shadow that sent the demonic cultivars to besiege the Qie family and force open thebyrinth was the one that brought Qie Ranzhe and his sect down.


    This time they seeded in destroying him by reopening the realm where the Qie family was massacred right inside the Qie sect. No matter how hard he tried to defend his sect and prevent the beast from running rampant in the mortal realm his entire sect was ughtered including himself. The other sects refused to assist the Qie sect choosing to patch up the problem by creating a barrier to prevent the beasts from escaping.


    But that wasn''t the real tragedy. The viin discovered Qie Xieling''s special constitution when they captured him outside the Qie sect. He was basically a human cauldron that could skyrocket one''s cultivation to bing an immortal. One could only guess what Qie Xieling''s fate was after his father was gone.


    This information had Wen Qinxi''s head spinning haphazardly in all directions. This was the toughest world yet because he had no idea who the bad guy was which meant he was going in blind.

 Chapter 387: Fifth World: Father And Son At Odds

    Chapter 387: Fifth World: Father And Son At Odds


    No matter how hard he analysed the mounts of information he couldn''te up with a n.


    Though there was one important thing that he picked up. In the past two worlds, whatever character that was assigned to him had birthed Qie Xieling. This meant Zhao Zhi was the so-called evil Yao that took advantage of the unconscious Qie Ranzhe but from the game files, Zhao Zhi had no memory of it whatsoever.


    Zhao Zhi strongly believed he was sect leader Zhao''s son and that the Zhao sect was his home since birth. Other than the Zhao sect, he had no other memories. Someone must have tampered with Zhao Zhi''s memories making him forget everything.


    As to the reason why sect leader Zhao valued Zhao Zi so much despite knowing fully well that he wasn''t his son, it remained a mystery that Wen Qinxi couldn''t figure out.


    Zhao Zi''s fate was just as tragic. In fact, he was kidnapped and used to reopen thebyrinth over the Qie sect before suffering the same fate as Qie Xieling.


    Frustrated, Wen Qinxi slumped to the ground not at all caring that he was lying in the dirt. This world was too deep for him that he just wanted to go take a nap. Maybe he woulde up with more progressive ideas after a good sleep.


    ***


    While Wen Qinxi was shouldering the entire world on his shoulders, Qie Xieling was screaming like a wounded cat while Machu examined his butt injury.The poor kid came back to the sect and wailed in his uncle''s arms aggrieved.


    Everyone treated him like a pampered egg even when he deliberately went outside to provoke others but Zhao Zhi was different. He dared to spank him in public for that matter. It was the most humiliating thing to ever happen to this young master and the culprit even threatened to do it again in the future.


    Lying t on his stomach, he cried without tears while Machu applied some ointment on the ripe butt cheeks. "So he just stormed over and spanked you just like that? Hahaha.... you truly deserved it," said Machu amused by the obvious handprint left by the culprit.


    Qie Xieling didn''t find it funny at all. No one had everid a hand on him, not even his father. Yet Zhao Zhi dared to discipline him like it was the most natural thing to do. "It''s an honour for him to be chosen to enter the Qie sect but he took offence and spanked me. Geez... so fuckin violent," said Qie Xieling but he soon drew a cold breath of air when Machu pressed on the swollen fleshy part, "Ouch..... seriously?"


    Machu chortled and said, "Dare to use vulgarnguage again and I will pinch you," before standing up to wash his hands in the basin on the bedside.


    Qie Xieling pulled up his pants whileining, "I am not a bloody kid anymore... Oh, by the way, don''t tell my father about this otherwise he will go look for trouble with that Shixiong."


    Machu stopped packing his elixirs and said, "You think he doesn''t know already? He''s probably at the Zhao Sect right now seeking retribution.Who told him to spank Sect leader Qie''s precious baby."


    Unable to refute that point, Qie Xieling rubbed his temples and replied, "I think he''s the one father has been looking for," with a look of hesitation.


    "Hahaha..... wah, wrong gender mate. That''s the most absurd thing I have ever heard, hahaha," replied Machuughing his ass off. It was the funniest joke he had ever heard.


    "But I felt something like, like we are connected in some way. It''s like a sense of belonging or something," exined Qie Xieling struggling to find the right words to exin what he felt.


    "Pfft..... you have felt the same feeling with every woman you brought to the sect. Hell, you even felt the same feeling with that junior sister which is why you went to pick a fight with sect leader Zhao," said Machu before closing his interspatial bag.


    Qie Xieling understood Machu''s reasoning but he still couldn''t shake off the feeling that something was up. Sensing Qie Xieling wouldn''t let go easily, he said, "Whatever it is that you are feeling..... keep it to yourself and don''t go starting trouble with the Zhao sect." This was a warning but of course, Qie Xieling didn''t take it seriously.


    "Huh? I would never," said Qie Xieling gasping exaggeratedly with his hand on his chest in a dramatic manner.


    "Lier," said Machu before throwing a scroll at this naughty child. Qie Xieling dodged while chuckling loudly.


    As much as Qie Xieling wanted to keep what happened today a secret it was impossible. Turns out Machu was right about one thing, Qie Ranzhe knew about what happened at the Zhao sect. He just didn''t urately predict Qie Ranzhe''s reaction.


    He anticipated that Qie Ranzhe would drag Zhao Zhi out of the Zhao Sect and beat him up ck and blue but that didn''t happen. Rather he seemed curious to know what gave that person the courage to discipline his son without his permission as shown by his follow up questions.


    "Why did he spank you?" asked Qie Ranzhe while picking up some pork with his chopsticks.


    Qie Xieling wasn''t certain if his father was angry or not. He couldn''t tell from the man''s expression so he nervously bit his lip before speaking in a mosquito-like voice. "I asked sect leader Zhao to let hime to our sect and join your harem," he exined feeling his father''s intense gaze boring through his skin.


    He might have spoken in a barely audible voice but Qie Ranzhe heard him loud and clear. Judging from his expression, he wasn''t too pleased about it. His disciples had sugar-coated the incident deliberately leaving out the most important part when they reported to him. This was the first time he heard of the reason.


    "Do I look like I am interested in the same sex?" asked Qie Ranzhe through gritted teeth.


    "You, you are not actually interested in the harem any, anyway so why would it matter if I bring him here?" asked Qie Xieling in a low voice yet again.


    "Qie! Xieling!" yelled Qie Ranzhe after banging the table in anger and breaking it in half. All the things on the table scattered on the floor with a loud crashing sound. The noise attracted Machu''s attention as he came over in hurried footsteps. Just as he entered the room, Qie Xieling passed him storming out in big strides.


    "Aish... how many of these have you broken in a month? Tsk, tsk, can''t you use your words not your hands?" said Machu mourning the loss of the delicious sweet and sour pork.


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t say a word. He just stood up and left going who knows where. The kid had undoubtedly poked his sour spot. That incident in thebyrinth left a psychological shadow on him that he disdained being touched.


    This was one of the reasons he had to find that vile creature and sh its throat as vengeance for taking advantage of him. Since he couldn''t kill her now he decided to go to the misty forest and kill some demonic beasts to appease his anger.

 Chapter 388: Fifth World: Mysterious Cloaked Man

    Chapter 388: Fifth World: Mysterious Cloaked Man


    In the dead of night, a lone figure wearing a cloak stood in the middle of a bamboo forest like a sinister ghost. If normal passersby saw this situation they would be scared out of their minds and possibly soil their pants.


    The cloaked man wasn''t idle either. In his hand was a broom and he was sweeping an odd shadowy structure that was hard to distinguish in the dark. The man seemed engrossed in his task making this scene even stranger.


    All of sudden, the man sharply turned his head to the right before moving at the speed of light above ground towards a particr direction. The cloak fluttered with the breeze creating a horrendous scene that could frighten any living person.


    Long slender fingers reached out of the cloak before grasping someone''s neck. The victim was dressed in a ck cloak as well but his blue garments could be seen from the gaps of the cloak.


    Startled then mortified, the victim tried to remove the hand choking his neck as he stammered, "Lo-lord, plea-please. Let m-me live." This voice was oddly familiar even though he was being strangled. It was none other than Sect leader Zhao. As to why he was roaming around in the dark, it was exactly because he was looking for this man.


    Two months ago, he received a talisman from this man asking him to return what belongs to him. He ignored it but the following threat after that had his hair standing on end.


    His entire sect was threatened and to prove he would do as stated, ten of their outer disciples were found skinned alive and hung in trees in a gory disy.


    Left with no choice but to meet with this vile man the sect leader set off to the meeting point. The only problem was that he had no idea what he had stolen from this strange man. Even if he knocked his head on the wall to figure out what he stole from the man, he wouldn''t be able to tell.


    It was when they eventually met that he realised what he was talking about. The stolen property wasn''t an item but a person. The boy he found lying unconscious along a river after the Qie mansion incident. At first, he wanted to leave the boy there but when he caught sight of the feet underwater, he lost his mind.


    This sect leader staggered backwards in fright. He had seen so many Yao devils and fought countless ghosts in his cultivation journey but he had never seen such a sight.


    He had heard rumours of the legendary Yao that closely resembled Betta fish but he had never seen one with his own eyes. Five millennials ago, a nascent soul cultivar wandered further south of the continent attempting to cross the sea in search of treasures that could help him ascend to immortality.


    On his journey, he faced rough storms that he couldn''t counter. Resigned to his fate, he sank to the bottom of the sea but when he woke up he found himself in a strange ce. A ce with clear azure waters and a beautiful beach. This is when he met a Betta fish yao that had cultivated to the point of transforming to its human form.


    He was truly grateful to his saviour but the longer he stayed in this ce the more his thirst grew for this transcended beauty. Because the yao was lower in rank when it came to its cultivation, the man couldn''t hold back his desires anymore andmitted the greatest sin.


    But it turns out his sin paid off with a sharp increase in his cultivation. That very day the cultivar ascended to immortality and vanished towards the heavens. By the time the Yao woke up not only was its innocence robbed but it was also with child and the culprit was nowhere to be found.


    From that legend, it was rumoured that a n of half-human yao creatures resided in a hidden realm. The reason the n was hidden was that they were a highly sought after being.


    Think about it, if the legend is true then the secret to transcend straight to the heavens and be one of the world''s powerful force was spending a night with these creatures wouldn''t it lead to the abuse and annihtion of these single n?


    So one can only imagine the sect leader''s reaction when he saw this boy. He dragged him out of the water and the gorgeous fin was enveloped in white light and vanished. He waited for the boy to wake up intending to find out where he was from.


    Sect leader Zhao didn''t intend to ascend as an immortal for now but he would love to increase his cultivation in a short period. Thinking he could tie the boy up and lock him in the underground dungeon in his sect he found out that it was pointless. This is because the boy didn''t remember who he was or what he was.


    As a result, sect leader Zhao gave him a new identity. He told the boy that he was his son and that his mother was a beauty in a brothel. One night of passion identally produced him but the sect leader only found out about his existence recently after his mother passed away. Sect leader Zhao imed there were on their way to the sect when he fell into the water and almost drowned.


    Using such a devious method he began raising this eighteen-year-old as his son, Zhao Zhi. He forbade him from entering the river,ke or anyrge water body since he had a near-drowning experience. Who would have thought more than two decadester, this cloaked man woulde after him iming he stole his property.


    "Ha! Let you go? Sect leader Zhao, I am not a patient person," said the cloaked man squeezing the fragile neck tighter. At this moment the sect leader could barely keep conscious with his strength to fight drastically reduced.


    Just when his face turned purple knocking at death''s door, the cloaked man flung the poor sect leader a half a kilometre away.His body crashed into trees and bushes causing grievous harm.


    Sect leader Zhao''s body tumbled to the ground rolling twice before abruptly smashing into a boulder. Grimacing in pain, he curled up into a ball but he just couldn''t catch a break.


    The cloaked man flew over in a sh like a vicious ghost in a horror movie and strangled the sect leader once more. This time he used less force but directly bashed the sect leader''s head against the boulder creating a dent.


    His pinkish pale lips showed a little out of the hood of the cloak as he whispered to the sect leader. "I let you keep him.... but asked you to keep him pure," he said while rubbing the blood seeping from the corner of sect leader Zhao''s mouth with his thumb smearing it everywhere.


    "But what did I hear? That Qie brat directly asked for him and you wanted to exchange him for a stupid sword," said the cloaked man with his grip tightening again.

 Chapter 389: Fifth World: Wen Qinxis Weird Sleeping Posture

    Chapter 389: Fifth World: Wen Qinxi''s Weird Sleeping Posture


    Sect leader Zhao felt his soul depart from his body little by little but he didn''t want to die. Out of desperation, he forced out a word with great difficulty. "Di-din''t," was all he could say with his lungs feeling like they had been set aze.


    The cloaked man suddenly let him go and gently pped his face twice saying, "Good.... good. Keep him away from your slutty disciples otherwise, you will suffer the consequences. Now leave!"


    Sect leader Zhao was in excruciating pain but despite his injuries, he ran off like he had been granted amnesty, a new lease on life. He unsheathed his sword and flew back to his sect in a matter of minutes.


    The cloaked man watched him leave with a pensive expression. He had thought of taking that Yao back countless times but it would be pointless he didn''t remember anything and besides it wasn''t the right time yet to exert revenge. He fixed the hood of his cloak and strode over to the odd structure in the eerie darkness.


    As though his shoulders were heavy, he slumped to the ground and knelt in front of the structure. Out of his cloak, he took out Joss sticks and paper lighting them with a me that appeared after snapping his fingers.


    "Mother, mo-mother. I won''t fail you this time," he said in a brittle voice with red-rimmed eyes.


    ***


    While this showdown was happening, Wen Qinxi was sleeping like the dead in his isted home at the top of thest peak in the Zhao sect. His sleeping posture was extremely weird. He was lying on his face and knees with his butt sticking out.


    This kind of sleeping posture only happened when he''s under pressure like when he was fired off the team in the real world. For the posture to manifest itself he would have to be under extreme pressure which meant the pressure of losing his position in the team equalled him finding out about Qie Ranzhe''s stupid harem.


    While snoozing away in his awkward sleeping position a sudden burst ofughter forcibly drew him fromnd. Like a frightful bunny, he hopped out of bed assuming it was a ghost and crashed on the floor with his butt.


    "Aiyo.... fuck me!" he swore rolling on the ground while holding his butt cheek that he suspected was broken. He stared in the direction where theughter wasing from ready to confront this fiendish ghost but he was surprised to see Qie Xieling.


    "Hahahaha.... hahahaha, shixiong... woo, hahahaha... you are fucking killing me!"


    The boyughed himself to tears at Wen Qinxi''s expense.


    ''System, what''s the penalty if I just kill him,'' he asked the system as he struggled to calm his palpitating heart. Cultivation worlds had an abundance of ghosts and demons which is one of Wen Qinxi''s fears. Even to watch a horror movie he would have to make plenty of psychological preparation so when he heard boisterousughter in a ce that''s only supposed to have him alone, he freaked out.


    ''If you kill him, Qie Ranzhe will most definitely hunt you down,'' replied the system missing the point that it was a hypothetical question.


    "Tsk..... you really didn''t learn your lesson yesterday, right?" said Wen Qinxi with theughter from Qie Xieling ending abruptly. Wen Qinxi stood up from the floor and sat on the bed to put on his boots. "How the hell did you get in here?" asked Wen Qinxi vexed.


    The door was locked from the inside and when he walked outside the barrier was still intact. He did this for a good reason. This is because ording to the game files, this body was a sought out treasure and he couldn''t trust that sect leader to not do anything to him while he was asleep.


    Well, sect leader Zhao had been wrongly used. He wouldn''ty a hand on Zhao Zhi otherwise the cloaked devil would kill him. One thing he did do was cut off a few hair strands and toenails for pill refinement. He found out he didn''t need to do this and that to the boy to reap benefits. Parts of him would work too though the change wasn''t as great as when used as a human cauldron.


    When Wen Qinxi returned from outside, he found Qie Xieling sitting in the easy pose with his hands propping up his face. It was obvious he had made himself feel at home.


    "I didn''t get in through there," he answered before sprawling on Zhao Zhi''s bed. This was entirely done on purpose. He felt a soothing Qi concentrated where Zhao Zhi was sleeping earlier.


    This Qi was like nothing he had felt before and as it flowed through his empty meridian it felt like his body was revitalized and refreshed.


    "Then how did you get in?" asked Wen Qinxi resisting the urge to kick him out.


    Qie Xieling took out a teleportation talisman he stole from Qie Ranzhe''s interspatial ring. He should be feeling guilty but his daddy was rich so what was the point? A few missing talismans wouldn''t faze him.


    Wen Qinxi took the talisman and said, "You are using these to sneak into my room? For what reason?"


    Qie Xieling spread his limbs on the bed as though creating snow angels and said, "You refused to be part of my father''s harem so I can onlye to you to y." Hey on his stomach, propped up his head with his hands and began to p his feet all over the ce with a cute expression. "So what are we doing today?" he asked but he was yanked out of the door before it was mmed shut.


    Wen Qinxi locked the door behind him thinking that should get rid of the brat. He didn''t mind hanging out with the kid as he was his little man after all but the word harem was like a trigger. A ticking time bomb ready to explode. This is why he kicked this young master out.


    "Shixiong!"


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    "Shixiong let me in or I will tell the entire sect you sleep with your ass up in the sky!" yelled Qie Xieling with a beaming smile on his face. He stomped his feet loudly pretending to walk away when the door was suddenly opened and he was yanked in before it was shut with a loud bang!


    Two hourster the two people descended from the peak in slow strides. As to why they were walking instead of riding Zhao Zhi''s sword, it was because Qie Xieling was afraid of heights to the point of wailing in a high pitch tone.


    After having his sensitive ears tortured by Qie Xieling''s screams, he was left with no choice but to walk.


    "Shixiong, what are we doing today?" asked Qie Xieling for the nth time within the hour.


    "Ask me one more time and I will tell your father where you are," replied Wen Qinxi trying to tease Qie Xieling but the boy''s face suddenly paled. Thinking he had frightened him to death he corrected himself with a chuckle. "I was just kidding, hahaha.... look at your face," he said but he couldn''t carry on when he heard a familiar voice that sent chills down his spine.


    "Qie! Xieling!"


    Wen Qinxi, ''Crap!''

 Chapter 390: Fifth World: Parenting Conflict

    Chapter 390: Fifth World: Parenting Conflict


    Chest pains, chills, numb sensations throughout his body; you name it, Wen Qinxi felt all of it. These were the clear signs of fear and anxiety spreading all over his body an all too familiar feeling. Wen Qinxi had to gather himself up and reel in his rogue emotions otherwise he would show a little more of his true feelings than he intended.


    With a stiff disingenuous smile, he turned around to meet that piercing dreadful gaze. He wanted to use his glib tongue to get out of the situation but that gaze had him faltering so much that he could barely utter a single word. Even the smart words at the tip of his tongue vanished into thin air leaving him to his own devices.


    Qie Ranzhe wasn''t calm either despite looking like a stiff lifeless statue that could easily pass as the Queen''s guard around Buckingham Pce. He felt a sense of familiarity despite having never met the disciple that reced him and took his position. A great sense of uneasiness arose at the bottom of his heart but he couldn''t fathom why he had such a strange feeling towards Zhao Zhi.


    Qie Xieling was the first to break the awkward silence exining, "Father, it''s not shixiong''s fault I -," but he didn''t get to finish.


    "Shut it," roared Qie Ranzhe feeling his son had taken his rebellious nature to an unfathomable height. No one could understand how he felt when he returned from a night of senseless ughter in the misty forest only to find his son was nowhere to be found.


    During his hunt, he had attained several cores from ughtering demonic beasts and he intended to give it to Qie Xieling to try and help him unseal his dantian so he can cultivate but the boy had simply vanished.


    He managed to track him using the same teleportation talisman the boy stole but he didn''t expect this. He didn''t expect Qie Xieling would be hanging around the sect he hated the most with a person who reced him. Wasn''t this making him lose face?


    Wen Qinxi, on the other hand, didn''t appreciate the tone Qie Ranzhe used on Qie Xieling so he went on the defence like a kitty brandishing its sharp ws. "Sect leader Qie," said Wen Qinxi saluting him , "This shidi (<em>junior</em> <em>brother</em>) is my guest but you on the other hand treat Zhao sect as a ce you cane and go like a toilet. Doesn''t this sect leader have other more important things to do like for instance.... running sect affairs or taking care of a harem rather than chasing around an adult that hase of age?"


    Well, he bit the bullet and took things too far but faced by the man who just a couple of hours ago whispered sweet nothings into his ear only to turn around and gaze at him with such a harsh vicious stare like he was looking at an enemy, Wen Qinxi couldn''t bear it.


    True, it wasn''t Qie Ranzhe''s fault for having a broken consciousness but that didn''t mean Wen Qinxi wasn''t upset.


    As though he didn''t know what was good for him, Wen Qinxi kept on berating him venting out all that pent up anger. "I think would be best you head back to your harem. I am fairly certain they are eagerly awaiting to serve you and win your favour," he said before grabbing Qie Xieling''s elbow in an overprotective manner.


    His words had Qie Ranzhe tightly clenching his fists as a terrifying vehement storm brewed within. But when his gaze fell on the ce joining the two people together, Qie Ranzhe lost it erupting like an overly repressed volcano without warning.


    He unsheathed ck Cmity his intentions as clear as day. A sh of white light fleeted in the air before the cold merciless sword abruptly stopped right by Wen Qinxi''s exposed neck. Petrified, Wen Qinxi gulped as a drop of cold sweat flowed down his forehead. ''What a fuckin temper,'' thought Wen Qinxi but he didn''t back down or negotiate. If he dies here then they can always start again. They were still at the beginning of the journey anyway. If he didn''t express his anger he might end up having a mental break down.


    Wen Qinxi might have been prepared to suffer the severe consequences of his words but Qie Xieling wasn''t willing. He clutched the hem of his father''s sleeve and yelled, "I will go with you. Father, I was wrong... I was wrong." At this point, Qie Xieling''s tears couldn''t be stopped.


    He would have left with his father anyway but Zhao Zhi''s tongue was too venomous tackling his father''s bottom line. Everything had gone out of control in a split second. Lucky for him, his tears still counted for something because the bloodthirsty sword made a shing sound as though disapproving of its master''s decision before returning to its sheath.


    Qie Ranzhe grabbed Qie Xieling and vanished into a white mist using a teleportation talisman. Wen Qinxi was left standing alone on the isted grasnd. Out of anger, he unsheathed magic frost and released ice shards on the once peaceful grasnd leaving small gorges of wet muddy puddles.


    Stupefied by his strength, Wen Qinxi looked around in astonishment before running away from the scene of the crime. Fortunately for him, no one saw him. Well, at least that''s what he thought.


    In a small brush nearby, Zhao Huangzhi was hiding there enjoying a good show. She hade to her half brother''s peak to scold him for whatever little thing she could think of. He ranked higher in terms of cultivation but because he was born of a prostitute it meant she could be as disrespectful as she wanted and he wouldn''t retaliate.


    But who would have thought her usual morning routine would yield such results. Concealing her presence with her divine jade pendant inherited from her grandmother, she was free to watch with no worry about being discovered.


    She didn''t know why her male god wanted to fight her brother but she was excited at the sight hoping Zhao Zhi woulde out of this with grave injuries. But to her disappointment, Qie Xieling stopped the ensuing battle. When the two people left, she was thinking of showing her face and mock Zhao Zhi but who would have thought the brat would throw a fit destroying the beautiful grasnds.


    A stray ice shard even flew past the brush she was hiding in causing her to flinch in fright. It narrowly passed her but her fear was soon reced with a strong urge for vengeance. One can only imagine what she did next.


    She flew over to her father''s pavilion to snitch which is the only thing she was good at. Being Daddy''s little spoilt princess, Zhao Huangzhi rudely walked in with no ounce of respect but the sight that met her eyes had her feeling regretful.

 Chapter 391: Fifth World: A Snitching Snitch Snitching

    Chapter 391: Fifth World: A Snitching Snitch Snitching


    Her father was soaking in a medicinal bath with a strong repulsive scent of herbs and various concoctions wafting in the air. Her mother was sitting cross-legged in the chair dishing out a range of insults toward him. The words useless and stupid were thrown around but they were abruptly stopped when Zhao Huangzhi walked in without permission.


    "Huangzhi!" roared the sect leader covering up the only exposed part of his body which was his chest.


    "Why are you yelling at her. Shut the hell up. Is it her fault you are wasting precious medicine because you are weak?" she scolded him before turning to her daughter with a sweet smile. "Ah-Huan, your father is busy right now. Go, go wait outside and have nanny wang get you something to eat," she coaxed her daughter who was covering her eyes in shame.


    Zhao Huangzhiplied but couldn''t understand why her father was bruised to that extend. He was the strongest person she knew so who could be powerful enough to bring her father to his knees?


    Whoever it was, it didn''t have anything to do with her so she happily indulged herself in some osmanthus cakes. As soon as her parents showed themselves, she didn''t even give them time to sit down before excitedly snitching.


    "Father, I told you having Zhao Zhi live far away from us would bring trouble. Can you believe he caused trouble with Sect leader Qie? He somehow charmed that wastrel toe to our sect and guess what.... sect leader Qie came looking for him and they almost fought," she said all this in one breath but didn''t get any reaction from her father.


    Sect leader Zhao didn''t mean to keep silent. It''s just that he was so shocked he froze for a minute. His soothed muscles began to ache again when he thought he could be beaten up for this very same reason. Suddenly he could no longer see the benefit of keeping Zhao Zhi here when he keeps inviting more trouble.


    While the sect leader was questioning his life choices, Madam Zhao took the opportunity and began to speak ill of this supposed stepson of hers. She had strongly refused to take Zhao Zhi in from the very beginning. Not only because he was born of sin but also he was an eyesore that stained her family''s reputation.


    The perfect family of three suddenly had a fourth member making them a subject of mockery by the entire cultivation world. If he had been born of a concubine it would have been better but the sect leader had no other wives besides her.


    This wasn''t because he was loyal and disinterested in the carnal things of this world but that Madam Zhao''s family made sure their daughter wouldn''t be wronged. She was born from a powerful cultivation family that had direct ties to the royal family in the mortal world.


    She only agreed to let him stay because her husband could use him as a means to establish power since he was the most talented disciple in the sect after Qie Ranzhe was kicked out. But recently she had been extremely dissatisfied especially after he offended the Qie sect.


    Sect leader Zhao''s ears almost fell deaf after enduring the bombardment from both his wife and daughter. He had to appease them as well as put his life and his sect first. If this news reached the cloaked man, he would surely be killed and his organs harvested.


    After careful consideration, he sent for Zhao Zhi to resolve this issue as quickly as possible. This boy was a treasure but a treasure not worth keeping around so he thought of sending him out on the premise of leading junior disciples to gain experience in eliminating evil.


    To the northwest of the Zhao sect, there had been reportsing in about monsters lurking in the dark wiping out entire viges in a single night. He didn''t know the details because he had already signed it off as none of his business. This was mainly because he didn''t care and other sects had already made ns to send out their disciples to solve the problem.


    But since he wanted Zhao Zhi to leave the sect, he decided to let them take up the task. Satisfied with his decision he cleared his throat and fixed his expression to that of a caring doting father. When Wen Qinxi walked in, he was met by this fake affectionate gaze making him sick at the pit of his stomach.


    Fortunately, he could act better than sect leader Zhao so he respectfully saluted his supposed father. The sect leader narrowed his eyes and said, "Come,e closer my son so I can look at you."


    Wen Qinxi hesitated for a moment but slowly walked over after swallowing his disgust with great difficulty. He knew this man lied to Zhao Zhi for his selfish reasons and this loving gaze was simply a facade concealing evil intentions.


    The sect leader reached for his long jet ck hair and brushed his fingers through giving off an image of a loving father fixing his son''s hair. But only Wen Qinxi knew he was collecting samples to improve his cultivation.


    Wen Qinxi''s body got goosebumps under his touch and moved back a few inches asking, "Father, is there something you need me for?"


    Sect leader Zhao was surprised by his subtle rejection but he quickly recovered while clenching his fist to prevent the precious strands from flying away. He thought this sample would be enough for now. He was also nning to have one of his trusted disciples collect samples for him while they were outside hunting.


    "I would like you to go out with a few disciples so they can gain some experience... I am sure you have heard about trouble stirring in the northwest side of the continent. A few night hunts with other sects would help the Zhao Sect keep its reputation and provide experience to the disciples on their cultivation journey," he exined but Wen Qinxi couldn''t recall this so-called crisis.


    He simply agreed thinking he could ask Jolie about it when he gets to his peak but his mind wasn''t as bothered about leaving the sect than the bruises on the sect leader''s neck.


    It seemed like the sect leader was in a horrible fight and from the looks of it, he most definitely lost. This had Wen Qinxi thinking it had something to do with him being sent on a mission outside the sect.


    Sect Leader Zhao was in a gruesome fight and sends him out the very next day. There was most definitely something fishy about this situation but he couldn''t put his finger on it.


    Wen Qinxi''s mind was turning at a fast speed as hey in his bed trying to make sense of everything. He surely hoped he wasn''t getting sent to eliminate ghosts otherwise he would most likely lose face in front of those junior disciples.

 Chapter 392: Fifth World: A Cowardly Senior Disciple

    Chapter 392: Fifth World: A Cowardly Senior Disciple


    The situation in the northwest was truly a story not suitable for the faint of heart. Two months ago a small fishing vige unknown to most people was met with a cmity. The entire poption of a hundred people suddenly vanished into thin air.


    From the looks of it, it seemed the vigers simply vanished in the middle of doing everyday activities. The market that was meant to be boisterous with people buying merchandise and food was deserted as though the vendors simply up and left with no care for their things.


    Even inside the houses, everything was left as is like the entire town was raptured to who knows where. This eerie and puzzling situation was discovered by a group of travellers from the nearby vige who hade to make their weekly purchases.


    The group explored the entire ce with great interest but as nightfall drew closer, two of the men in the group decided to go back and inform their vige head what they had just seen. That''s after looting treasures from the abandoned homes.


    The result of it was that when they returned to the vige the group of men they left behind also vanished overnight. This same situation happened again in another vige ten kilometres away. Then a pandemic of vigers disappearing broke out.


    A group of cultivators were asked toe to take a look but because the remaining viges didn''t have enough money to hire a bigger sect, they had to settle with smaller sects and rogue cultivators.


    The cultivators brazenly stayed for a night hunt in one of the deserted viges determined to eliminate evil and level up their reputation in the cultivation world. But it turned out they had underestimated whaty in the dark.


    As soon as the sun sank into the horizon a dark cloudy mist flooded the vige making it hard to see. Sinisterughtering from what sounded like a woman rang in the air making one''s hair stand on end. The cultivators weren''t as scared at first that is until the supposed vanished vigers appeared but they weren''t the same.


    They were more like sinister spirits tearing at the cultivators with their long filthy nails. It was safe to say they weren''t human anymore but unlike walking corpses, they were faster and lunged on the cultivators like hungry beasts. No amount of talisman could stop these vicious creatures from creating an unsightly bloody scene.


    What was odd about this was that the eerieughter carried on throughout the attack and echoed in various ces within the darkness. As the group of cultivators reduced drastically, the leader managed to send out a signal seeking assistance.


    But when other fellow cultivators arrived at the scene the sun had already risen with no person in sight. The streets were silent and clean concealing the grievous crimesmitted on the previous night. The exact same situation happened in other viges earning them the infamous title of The Viges of Death.


    This creepy ce with horrific stories taken straight from a horror film was exactly where this nerd was heading and boy was he unwilling. To buy himself some time he decided to reject the idea of riding on their swords taking a carriage instead. He used the excuse that some disciples in the group hadn''t mastered the skill of sword riding so it would be best if they use a carriage and horses.


    The disciples all thought that the ones who couldn''t ride properly could hop on another person''s sword and hitch a ride but they didn''t voice their opinions thinking about what they were about to face.


    Most of them were inexperienced and had never seen a ghost before so they were undoubtedly scared and appreciated this dy. They secretly hoped the other sects would have dealt with the problem by the time they arrived.


    So the cowardly group of disciples silently praised Zhao Zhi for being considerate but the system was having a st. This went on since the previous night when the system told the eerie ghost story to Wen Qinxi.


    Jolie wanted to go as far as retrieving the footage of the horrific scene and y it like a movie but Wen Qinxi threatened it causing the system to reluctantly let it go. Wen Qinxi thought hearing the story rather than watching it would be better but was he totally wrong.


    The vivid description by the system of how each cultivator died had Wen Qinxi ashen-faced in fright. "Fuck, who thinks of scary shit like that?" was what Wen Qinxi said at that moment. After being terrified to death, he couldn''t sleep at all. Each moment he closed his eyes his mind would conjure images ording to the system''s description.


    The poor nerd had to watch three episodes of teletubbies to calm his distraught mind. One might ask why a baby programme? It was because the system imed to not have ess to other series showing a greyed out section on all other shows.


    Wen Qinxi''s mind was full of those cute tubbies shaking their booties the whole way. ''I say, why are you so afraid of horror movies? I mean the pump of adrenaline thates with it makes you feel alive. The high from watching such gory scenes is so thrilling,'' said the system mocking Wen Qinxi disregarding its safety.


    ''You are a fuckin AI so what thrill and adrenaline have you experienced?'' retorted Wen Qinxi feeling a headacheing up. If it weren''t that he was trapped in this game for the time being and that he loved Qie Ranzhe he would have logged out and asked Machu to find someone else toplete this world.


    The powers were cool but the level of danger and horror wasn''t worth it. ''Geez, why so much hate?'' replied the system before letting out a pitiful cry, ''Wuwuwu... you are discriminating against species. I have feelings too. QAQ!''


    Wen Qinxi, ''....''


    The systempleted its pitiful act but Wen Qinxi still hadn''t said anything so it called out, ''Boss.... boss.'' But there was no answer so it changed the form of address.


    ''Dage.... gege..... Qi-ge..... baobei.... babe,'' with thest methods of address stated purely to rouse Wen Qinxi''s anger. Surprisingly, there was zero response as though Wen Qinxi couldn''t hear it. A bad premonition arose from its virtual circuits so it checked the status bar.


    yer Wen Qinxi has muted the system.


    "Damnit... QAQ.... how am I supposed to coax him now?" thought the remorseful system. How was it supposed to coax a person who doesn''t want to talk to it?

 Chapter 393: Fifth World: Nu Shen Makes A Comeback

    Chapter 393: Fifth World: Nu Shen Makes A Comeback


    Wen Qinxi persisted for ten days straight blocking the system till they arrived at the town nearest to the ghost viges or as the locals called them the viges of death.


    Jolie even tried to knock on his door asking to be unmuted but Wen Qinxi remained resilient. It was about time the system felt how it feels to be abandoned as it ditched him in the past.


    The word town seemed a bit off when it came to describing this ce. It was more like a city with overcrowded streets like a wet market. Because it was overcrowded, they were soldiers standing outside preventing carriages and horses to enter. This meant he was left with no choice but to disembark and walk into town.


    The group of disciples led by Wen Qinxi strolled through the market heading towards an inn. Though there were interesting things to look at and purchase, this particr group was the least bit interested. At the edge of town, was a standard inn that could easily pass for two stars in the real world. This made it the most expensive inn one could book in the town.


    Wen Qinxi was the first to enter heading straight for the reception but before he even reached there, the innkeeper walked over in a panicked voice. "Young, young master I apologize but we have no rooms left. May I trouble you to look elsewhere," he said while wiping his hands on a white apron.


    "Typical," said one of the disciples standing by Zhao Zhi, "Shixiong, what are we going to do?"


    Wen Qinxi pursed his lips wondering if it would be feasible to sleep in the bushes when someone suddenly embraced him from behind. Startled, Wen Qinxi removed the slender feminine hands from his waist before turning around to see the face of the person who was brazen enough to take advantage of him.


    His heart almost stopped when he saw Nu Shen. Like a vicious ghost, this woman was here again after giving him trouble in the third world. She had made aeback dressed in a pink robe. This meant she belonged to the all-girl sect known as Xiannu meaning fairy.


    "Gege, what took you so long," she said in a coquettish voice that could rouse sweet feelings in a man. She then proceeded to rub Zhao Zhi''s hands affectionately but Wen Qinxi wouldn''t let her.


    He took back his hand abruptly. "Shimei (junior sister) please watch yourself," he said in an ice-cold tone rejecting her but that only made things worse.


    Nu Shen stomped her foot while pouting and said, "Gege, you are so mean. I and my sisters have been waiting for you for almost a week now and I booked this entire inn so you wouldn''t have to sleep outside."


    ''How considerate,'' he thought but it was obvious Nu Shen was pursuing him which meant she would be highly considerate.


    Wen Qinxi wanted to refuse but based on the situation outside it meant he wouldn''t find another ce. It seemed the ghost viges had attracted a lot of cultivators to this ce which meant there would be no rooms left.


    "How much?" he asked as another disciple opened his interspatial bag to take out some money.


    Nu Shen smiled like an angel and took Wen Qinxi''s arm leading him to the inn restaurant. "How about we discuss instalments over lunch," she said with great enthusiasm.


    Wen Qinxi signalled to his disciples to check out the rooms and reluctantly allowed Nu Shen to drag him over. Nu Shen sat next to him barely leaving any space between them and began to yammer incessantly. Wen Qinxi would have stood up and left her there but she began to narrate what was happening at the viges in great detail.


    Thispelled him to stay. It seemed the various sects cast lots for viges and swept them clean. As expected, therge sects were highly effective. There was but one vige remaining but another sect had imed that it was their hunt so no one intervened. They were just waiting for that sect to fail so they could swoop in and take over.


    It seemed his cowardly n was a sess so Wen Qinxi nned on rxing for a few days before returning to the sect. Unfortunately for him, the universe had other ns as seen in the future.


    "Shijie, you two are perfect for each other," said one of the pretty girls belonging to the Xiannu sect. They had been sitting at the corner of the room but couldn''t resisting especially with the presence of a handsome deity descended from heaven.


    Nu Shen smiled shyly and rubbed Wen Qinxi''s arm in a possessive manner as though marking her territory. "Is it?" she asked about to lean in closer but Zhao Zhi suddenly stood up.


    "Here''s what I owe you," he said before standing up to leave. He knew if he stayed any longer this groper might take things further so he left and grabbed a room key as he passed the reception. To make sure Nu Shen doesn''te looking for him, he exchanged rooms with his disciple and warned him not to tell anyone which room he was staying in.


    This was apparently the best decision because Nu Shen dide knocking on that door three hourster. She wanted to have dinner with Zhao Zhi and possibly keep each other warm but she was met by a stupid disciple who didn''t seem to have the ability to tell right from left.


    The poor nerd was forced to eat in his room just to run away from Nu Shen. If that girl put as much effort into her cultuvation as she did in pursuing him then she would be a genius who would have ascended to the heavens at a very young age and be an immortal.


    Wen Qinxi thought locking his door would make him safe but it didn''t protect him from a certain someone with a rich daddy. Wen Qinxi was about to eat when there was a knock on his door. He hesitated to open it for a while but the voice of his junior discipleing from the door had him standing up.


    He opened a small gap on the door and the disciple handed him a jar of wine saying, "Shixiong, the inn ran out of stock so I had to go elsewhere. Hope shixiong doesn''t mind."


    Wen Qinxi smiled while thanking him and closed the door but as soon as hetched the lock he heard a familiar voice say, "What''s that?"


    Terrified out of his mind, Wen Qinxi almost dropped the jar of wine. When he turned around he found Qie Xieling helping himself to his dinner. The kid lookedfortable chomping down on only the meat dishes deliberately skipping the veggies.


    "Are you fuckin kidding me?" said Wen Qinxi not watching hisnguage in the slightest.


    Qie Xieling raised his chopsticks and pointed them at him while chewing, "You said a bad word," before carrying on with his meal.


    Wen Qinxi, "..."


    ''Is it toote to return him to the hospital for a refund?'' thought Wen Qinxi at a loss.

 Chapter 394: Fifth World: A Tipsy Lin Lin

    Chapter 394: Fifth World: A Tipsy Lin Lin


    Wen Qinxi was at a loss of words faced by this naughty teenager but despite his initial surprise, he was d he had someone to keep himpany. He ambled over and ced the jar for wine on the table before sitting on the floor cushion.


    Wen Qinxi flickered his long hair back and asked, "Did you steal from your father again?..... You know what his temper is like. He''s going to burst in here and drag you home."


    A slight grin appeared on Qie Xieling''s face as he ced a juicy piece of braised beef in Zhao Zhi''s bowl. "Shixiong, you think I would be stupid enough to rob my father twice... Actually, I stole it from my uncle this time," exined Qie Xieling while watching Zhao Zhi pour out the sweet-smelling wine.


    Wen Qinxi chuckled as he ced the jar back on the table. With his beautiful fingers, he grasped the porcin cup and raised it to his mouth. But before his lips touched the rim, he noticed Qie Xieling looking at him with teary puppy dog eyes like he wanted some.


    "Stop looking at me like that," said Wen Qinxi feeling ufortable being stared at like that. Those gorgeous eyes seemed to be piercing his body staring right at his soul. How can he resist such a pitiful gaze?


    "Fine, just one cup," said Wen Qinxi losing the battle easily. He ced the cup in front of Qie Xieling and poured himself another. A satisfied smile appeared on Qie Xieling''s face as he picked up the porcin cup. This wasn''t his first time drinking but the other times he did, he sneakily took a sip or two when his father wasn''t looking.


    His father usually kept the cer locked and had a barrier surrounding it but there was one time when he forgot to reinforce security. Qie Xieling snuck into the wine cer in the dead of night and took a few sips. The reason why he didn''t directly take a wine jar instead was that his father knew the exact number and kept a detailed ledger.


    This meant Qie Xieling had to settle for sips and to make up for the weight, he added water. Of course, he was eventually found out but that was two yearster when the jar was picked at random.


    His father was especially strict but this Shixiong was especially indulging. He wouldn''t mind this man being his second father. He had his suspicions and he hoped the feeling in his heart was true. With that in mind, Qie Xieling drank half the cup with glee.


    "Hey, hey..... remember you only get one cup so you better savour it," said Wen Qinxi tapping the rim of his bowl with his chopsticks making a nking sound.


    Qie Xieling smiled at him with shimmering eyes and responded, "En," while holding the cup with both hands.


    ''What the fuck? Is he drunk?'' thought Wen Qinxi while examining this little puppy. Feeling like Qie Ranzhe will pulverise him if he hears about this, Wen Qinxi made sure Qie Xieling ate a lot of food just in case but it was of no use.


    One cup was all it took for Qie Xieling to start acting up. He wasn''t dead drunk but he was most definitely tipsy. "Shixiong... Shixionnnggg, Zhixiong, get it.... haha that one sounds funny," said Qie Xieling with a silly giggle while hooking his arms around Zhao Zhi like a spoilt child.


    Wen Qinxi had had the empty dishes taken away and asked for warm water in a basin. He was currently wiping Qie Xieling''s face which proved to be a difficult task. "Lin Lin, stop moving," he said but it was like talking to air.


    "Lin Lin, uh... I like that name. Shixiong, call me Lin Lin from now on," he said beforeying his head on Zhao Zhi''s shoulder.


    Wen Qinxi sighed deeply thinking this child was still a big baby despite being over eighteen. He rubbed Qie Xieling''s back trying to pacify him. "How about you get into bed?" asked Wen Qinxi but Qie Xieling shook his head in refusal as he wrapped his arms around Zhao Zhi like a bower constrictor. It''s a good thing Wen Qinxi was now in the body of a cultivator otherwise he would have been ufortable.


    "Shixiong, do you remember what your mother used to call you as a child?" asked Qie Xieling in a sluggish tone.


    Wen Qinxi took a sip of whatever was left in his cup of wine lost in thought. After a moment of hesitation, he asked, "Why do you ask this?"


    This question had Qie Xieling unconsciously biting the inner lining of his mouth. He cleared his throat slightly and said, "I just want to know how it feels like having a mother."


    "Well, you asked the wrong person. I don''t know either," he replied choosing not to share his real-world experience because Zhao Zhi didn''t have a mother.


    Qie Xieling raised his lowered head and asked, "Howe?" with a look of sympathy.


    "I don''t remember anything after almost drowning," said Wen Qinxi while searching Zhao Zhi''s memory for the nth time but like always, it was as nk as a sheet of paper.


    Qie Xieling lowered his head again before responding, "Oh..... don''t you think it strange?"


    Wen Qinxi definitely thought it all strange making him wonder if the game difficulty level was tampered with. Even he had to admit that all this time he had had it easy.


    Just as he was about to respond he smelt a familiar fragrance. He caught a faint whiff of it when he fought with Qie Ranzhe the other day but today it was especially strong.


    His anger thest time masked the effects of the scent on his body but this time the effects were especially noticeable. A burst of excitement surged from within. The kind of excitement one couldn''t easily dispel. "Do, do you smell that?" he asked while looking at the big kid lying on his shoulder.


    Qie Xieling could smell a faint floral scent but it wasn''t worth having such a reaction. He unwound his arms from around Zhao Zhi and studied him carefully. It seemed this usually calm and collected Shixiong was unsettled and bing extremely agitated.


    Wen Qinxi abruptly stood up sniffing everywhere to find that unusual scent. He felt like if he didn''t find it he would lose his mind. What he didn''t know is that he was already on the brink of losing his shit.


    Worried, Qie Xieling tried to calm him down asking, "Shixiong, what''s wrong?" but Zhao Zhi''s responses were bing incoherent as his eyes began to emit a faint blue colour.


    Qie Xieling watched in concern when he saw Zhao Zhi lean out of the window looking like he was going to jump. Forgetting Zhao Zhi was a cultivator, Qie Xieling tried to stop him by pulling him by the arm back into the room. This only further aggravated Zhao Zhi.


    A faint blue light appeared on his palm and he struck Qie Xieling''s chest pushing him a few feet away. It was clear he was no longer in his right mind as he flew out of the window.

 Chapter 395: Fifth World: Fighting Then Kissing

    Chapter 395: Fifth World: Fighting Then Kissing


    Qie Xieling couldn''t stay conscious after that kind of attack so he fell unconscious on the floor. Because of this, he didn''t notice that whatever Zhao Zhi did to him partially cracked the seal that was stopping him from cultivating.


    The frenzied Wen Qinxi hopped from building to building rushing towards the forest at light speed. As he reached thest roof he directly unsheathed magic frost and rode straight into the dark creepy forest. He felt like if he didn''t get whatever it was he would die. That''s how desperate he was.


    A further distance away, the unsuspecting Qie Ranzhe was busy meditating in a lotus position at the edge of a waterfall. He had sent his disciples to take care of one of the viges. While waiting for them to report, he decided to stay at this scenic spot and meditate.


    Those beautiful phoenix eyes suddenly opened when he sensed a hostile presenceing towards him. In a swift motion, he leaned to the side as a water droplet-shaped like a de flew past him at bullet speed. His hair fluttered with the breeze created by the weaponized water droplet.


    ck cmity was unsheathed at lightning speed and shed through several iing water des dispersing them. Qie Ranzhe flung his sleeve as he turned to face his attacker. To his surprise, he found Zhao Zhi standing before him with a dark visage and glowing eyes.


    One look and Qie Ranzhe could tell he was out of it but why choose to go head to head with him? Zhao Zhi scowled while yelling, "Give it to me! Right now!"


    Qie Ranzhe raised a brow in confusion. He couldn''t understand what this crazy person was saying. "Give what?" he asked unwilling to entertain a mad man.


    It was obvious Zhao Zhi didn''t appreciate this vague response because magic frost suddenly unleashed a powerful backsh ripping through the trees with a tremendous force heading towards Qie Ranzhe.


    The sect leader narrowed his eyes in disbelief as ck cmity intercepted the powerful force that had levelled their surroundings. The dense forest was left with a bald spot just from this one move and sadly it was only just the beginning.


    Itching for a fight ck cmity emitted a stream of a zing inferno aimed at Zhao Zhi but Zhao Zhi gripped the hilt of magic frost and blocked the attack with his feet rooted to the ground.


    The mes were especially fierce but the crazed nerd was just as vicious. He stretched his arm and drew a hefty amount of water from the waterfall. The water flow in the stream suddenly changed direction as a long thread of water encased his arm creating a whip. He used this makeshift whip to flog the zing inferno instantly dispersing it. While Wen Qinxi was distracted, Qie Ranzhe made a hand signal creating raging fireballs.


    As soon as he unleashed them, the maniacal fireballs attacked Zhao Zhi from behind. Without enough time to respond, Wen Qinxi was forced to dodge. He didn''t have time to retaliate as these menacing fireballs were ferocious and stuck to him like heat-seeking missiles.


    Wen Qinxi evaded them through the trees but their speed made it extremely difficult. Annoyed by this stupid trick, Wen Qinxi swung magic frost in a 360-degree turn releasing a deadly blow on the cannon fodder fireballs. He was so immersed in his task that he didn''t see Qie Ranzheing.


    By the time he noticed it was already toote. His entire body was suddenly shackled by an iron chain that tightened the more he struggled.


    The force from the chain pushed his body to the ground a few meters from where he was initially standing. His eyes still glowing in the darkness, Wen Qinxi wiggled on the ground like a worm trying to break the shackles but it was pointless.


    Qie Ranzhe sauntered over while saying, "Give up. The more you struggle the tighter the hold," he said crouching down to take a closer look at this feisty cannonball. "You will end up hurting yourself."


    Wen Qinxi seemed to realise he was in a tight spot so he changed his attitude in a drastic turn that vexed Qie Ranzhe. His voice softened like he had been bullied as he said, "Give, give it to me and I will leave. I promise." If the sober Wen Qinxi saw a rey of this scene he would most likely dig a hole to bury himself in.


    Qie Ranzhe let out a scornful chuckle looking down at him. "Give you what exactly? Such a fuckin piece of work," he said but faced with this pitiful handsome visage, he found his heart soften a little.


    "Maybe I should leave you out here to reflect on your disrespectful behaviour," said Qie Ranzhe before standing up to leave. He didn''t owe this man a thing but Zhao Zhi kepting at him and this was the second time.


    "Don''t, don''t leave me here. Take these off," said Wen Qinxi acting like a wounded animal but in truth, he was drawing an array on the ground with his finger to break this chain. Qie Ranzhe ignored him as he summoned his sword back to its sheath.


    It seemed he was confident in his Qi suppressing chain that he didn''t look back. It was because of this stupid mistake that he was tackled from behind by the lunatic. The two crashed to the ground with Zhao Zhi straddling Qie Ranzhe. The sect leader wanted to push him away as he had a higher cultivation ranking than Zhao Zhi but it was what the shameless man did next that had him frozen in ce.


    Wen Qinxi started going through Qie Ranzhe''s clothes touching him everywhere like a pervert. This couldn''t be called frisking but groping to a whole new level. Qie Ranzhe was touched everywhere as the assant mumbled, "Where the fuck is it? Where did you put it."


    After searching every inch of him, Wen Qinxi still couldn''t find whatever it was but he determined. Out of nowhere he suddenly paused eyeing Qie Ranzhe''s lips.


    Qie Ranzhe had a bad premonition and immediately attempted to push him away but Zhao Zhi was faster. He immobilised Qie Ranzhe after striking his acupuncture points. The sect leader could easily free himself but it was a matter of whether he had enough time before Zhao Zhi did what he was nning to do.


    "You ate it. It must be inside you," said a deranged Wen Qinxi that''s before he licked and sucked Qie Ranzhe''s lips as though tasting something. Qie Ranzhe felt his scalp go numb as his heartbeat quickened fogging his mind.


    In a fit of rage, he freed himself and struck the ecstatic Zhao Zhi with incredible force sending him flying a couple of meters away from him.


    A string of curses rang out in the tranquil forest but the culprit didn''t hear anything as he was out cold. He had stolen this Sect leader''s first kiss. Well, that if he still had his first kiss in the first ce. Qie Ranzhe didn''t know that all his firsts were already taken by this Yao in thebyrinth that killed his entire family.

 Chapter 396: Fifth World: Migrating To Shixiongs bed

    Chapter 396: Fifth World: Migrating To Shixiong''s bed


    Qie Ranzhe''s actions would be the perfect example of overreacting but right now he didn''t seem to think so. He was a sect leader from one of the most prestigious sects that he founded himself only to be attacked by a mere disciple from his former sect.


    If he knew what Zhao Zhi wanted he would have given it to him as there is no use fighting with a mad man but he wasn''t even given the chance to talk it over. Instead, this disciple picked a fight with him disregarding their different cultivation ranks. This had him scratching his head in confusion.


    Despite everything, it was good practice but it cost him a kiss which was too high of a price. Qie Ranzhe summoned back his Qi suppressing chain and turned to walk away.


    He sincerely believed that he owed nothing to do with Zhao Zhi so he shouldn''t care what happens to him. But with each step he took, he felt his heart weigh heavier and heavier making him ufortable.


    Unable to bear the guilt, Qie Ranzhe walked back to where the unconscious many. Looking down at those almond-shaped eyes, high bridge nose and cherry plump lips, he had to admit this man was incredibly handsome.


    Qie Ranzhe reached out and curiously poked those cheeks despite himself. The result was that it was nice to touch. Not only that but it was an addictive feeling so he did it again and again and again.


    In a deserted part of the forest that had been destroyed to the point of resembling a warzone was a man crouching down while poking another man''s cheeks. If Qie Xieling saw this scene he would most likely question if his father had been possessed by a perverse entity.


    To be frank, it wasn''t that he was possessed but that his fingers liked it so much that they weren''t satisfied with just one touch. His naughty fingers even graduated to pinching and boy, it felt so good.


    Qie Ranzhe only stopped when he saw those cheeks turn pinkish-red. Even then he was still not satisfied. Anyway, he counted it as payment for being kissed earlier.


    He checked on Zhao Zhi''s condition and found that the man was as healthy as an ox. He proceeded to pick him up in a princess carry before unsheathing ck Cmity. Initially, he wanted to carry the man on his back but somehow Zhao Zhi managed to slip off his back like melted butter.


    "Tsk, I must have owed you something in my previous lifetime," he said as Zhao Zhi snuggled into his arms like it was the most natural thing ever. Qie Ranzhe rode ck Cmity to town and it didn''t take him long to find out where the Zhao Sect was staying.


    The downstairs restaurant of the inn was crowded by Zhao and Xiannu junior disciples so he decided to toss him in an empty room through the window.


    The heavens seemed to have heard Nu Shen''s prayers because Qie Ranzhe somehow managed to choose her room. What great luck it was for Nu Shen that the puremb was delivered right into the tiger''s den, an unconsciousmb at that.


    Unfortunately for her, before she could even grasp the opportunity, it was taken away from her. That''s because as Qie Ranzhe ced the man on her bed, he felt a familiar presence a few doors over. It could only be one person and that person was none other than Qie Xieling.


    With a sullen expression on his face, he leapt over with Zhao Zhi in his arms. Sure enough, the boy who was supposed to be grounded at home was here. Knowing Qie Xieling, he could only havee for one person and that person was the one currently in his arms.


    Shaking his head in disappointment he ced Zhao Zhi on one of the beds in the room and went to check on his son who was lying on the floor. Nothing was wrong with the boy. To be more precise he was snoring like a little piggy with no care in the world.


    Qie Ranzhe could understand that his son was tired especially after using that talisman without a good cultivation base but he couldn''t fathom why Qie Xieling decided to sleep on the floor.


    It was when he ced his son on the bed did he realise something was off. When he did a thorough inspection of Qie Xieling''s meridian and dantian he found out the seal was partially broken but how on earth it happened he had no clue.


    Anxious, he opened up Qie Xieling''s robe to inspect his chest. To his surprise, there was a clear palm print left behind by theperpetrator or maybe saviour. His eyes unconsciously eyed Zhao Zhi who was sleeping like the dead.


    The sect leader shook his head in disbelief. How could that be? Yes, it was a cultivation world and a whole lot of things could happen but not that. It was entirely the wrong gender.


    Shaking his head in denial, he tucked his son into bed after removing the boy''s shoes. He had smelt the distinct scent of alcohol on the both of them but had chosen to ignore it for now. Qie Ranzhe vowed to punish the both of them for it the next day because their amnesty would onlyst for a single night.


    ***


    While Qie Ranzhe was having a sleepless night trying to figure out who partially broke the seal on Qie Xieling''s dantian, the two culprits were fast asleep having pleasant dreams.


    The sleep was so good that Wen Qinxi only woke up when the sun was high up in the sky. He sluggishly opened his eyes trying to figure out where he was exactly. All he could remember was how he was helping the drunk Qie Xieling get ready for bed. Everything after that was foggy and hazy.


    He rubbed his sore eyes asking himself, ''What did I dost night?'' Just as he asked himself that question, he felt movement right next to him. His half-lidded eyes fully opened at the moment as he slowly turned his head to see who was sleeping beside him. God knows if it was Nu Shen, he nned on sending her to Valha with one strike.


    Just as he opened the quilt, he noticed a familiar head of hair that closely resembled that of his boss. "Lin Lin!"


    Qie Xieling raised his head and said, "Ah shixiong.... let this ancestor sleep for a minute longer. It''s so fuckin early." Once he said this he covered himself with the quilt and sank deeper into the bed.


    Wen Qinxi sat up straight and pointed at the other bed that had obviously been slept in. "Why on earth did you migrate to my bed when yours is perfectly fine?" While pointing, he felt an inexplicable muscle ache in and around his shoulders and neck.


    No wonder he hurt everywhere. It was because he was forced to share a single bed with an overgrown child. Well, at least that''s what he thought. His body wasn''t aching from sharing a small space but fighting in the middle of the night with his boss.


    "Shixiong, your bed was warmer," exined Qie Xieling in a muffled voice. Gosh, even he didn''t know how he ended up here. Thest thing he remembered was copsing on the floor after Zhao Zhi attacked him. There was a serious memory gap for both of them.

 Chapter 397: Fifth World: Art Of Emotional Blackmail

    Chapter 397: Fifth World: Art Of Emotional ckmail


    What Qie Xieling didn''t know was that he sleepwalked to Zhao Zhi''s bed because of that familiar warm Qi. Thest time he was in Zhao Zhi''s room he was also drawn to the man''s bed for that very same reason. It was cosy and nice which led to this unfortunate event.


    "Lin Lin, don''t tell me you randomly get into other people''s beds?" asked Wen Qinxi ready to spank him depending on his answer.


    Sensing impending danger, Qie Xieling hurriedly answered with his head shaking under the quilt. "No Shixiong, just yours and father''s but he kicked me out so I never went back ever since I turned four," he exined feeling wronged. He was well behaved despite his asional arrogant behaviour.


    Wen Qinxi stared at him with a look that seemed to question why so he exined further. "Bad sleeping habits. I, um... I put my foot in his mouth while asleep once so... ahem, he kicked me out."


    Qie Ranzhe''s actions werepletely justified especially when that foot was as ck as a wok. The kid simply refused to wash his feet which Qie Xieling tolerated a little but once that foot touched his lips, Qie Ranzhe imposed sanctions on Qie Xieling.


    Wen Qinxi struggled to keep a straight face while putting on his brocade boots. He found it funny but he still had to maintain his act of a good model parent which was so hard. "You better stay away from my bed next time otherwise I will tell your father," said Wen Qinxi effectively using his favourite parenting card. The ''I am going to tell your father'' card that''s mostly used by mums to keep their kids in check.


    It would have worked well too if it weren''t for this ck-bellied kid. "Ah, shixiong... if you tell on me then I will tell on you for hitting mest night," said Qie Xieling but seeing the look of puzzlement stered on Zhao Zhi''s face, he opened up his chest revealing a fading palm print.


    Wen Qinxi, "..."


    The corner of Qie Xieling''s lip quirked up into a smirk before slowly vanishing under the quilt. Wen Qinxi couldn''t believe it so he decided to ask a more reliable source and that source was none other than Jolie. The only w in this n was whether the system would be willing to talk or not. He had already put the system in the dog house for ten days and to a lonely AI that equalled an entire month.


    ''Jolie,'' he called out but as expected there was no response. ''Jolie,e out or I will.....,''


    ''You will what? Boss, you just got cancelled by me,'' said the system but Wen Qinxi had no idea what it was saying.


    ''Huh?'' he asked scratching his head in confusion. What did it mean by cancelled?


    ''Seriously.... are you kidding me? This is the day and age of the cancel culture and you don''t know what it is? Are you sure you are a nerd? You spend your days on the inte but you don''t know the cancel culture,'' said the system facepalming itself.


    Sometimes it felt like talking to Wen Qinxi was like speaking to an alien from as far as Pluto. Oh, that''s right Pluto is no longer a then that would make him an alien from Saturn.


    Wen Qinxi didn''t appreciate being berated by an ill-mannered AI so he said, ''Hey, hey, hey... I am not a fuckin nerd, okay? I just likeputers a lot.''


    ''Pardon me for recognizing the wrong species. I meant geek. Doesn''t that better define your character?'' replied the system forgetting its vow to repent and get on its boss''s good side. Well, let''s not forget this AI is a bonafide flip-flopper. Or better yet a wishy-washy type of AI.


    ''Are you going to keep insulting me or you are going to exin it to me?'' asked Wen Qinxi with his impatience dangerously approaching a critical limit.


    ''The cancel culture is....,'' said the system about to exin but Wen Qinxi interjected while swallowing down his anger.


    ''I meant what happenedst night not that,'' he said.


    ''Haha... oh that. Well, you did a lot of stupid shitst night that can''t be described in words,'' exined the system holding back itsughter, ''Words will only dilutest night''s escapades so how about we watch a rey.''


    Three minutester.


    "Shit!" swore Wen Qinxi kicking off the quilt without considering thezy dumpling lying next to him.


    Qie Xieling watched helplessly as the quilt flew off the bed. "Shixiong, why are you so mean to me? You hit mest night now you are kicking off the quilt,"ined Qie Xieling mastering the art of emotional ckmail.


    "Get up already. Your father is around?" replied Wen Qinxi as he shuffled off the bed as quickly as possible.


    Qie Xieling''s eyes widened like light bulbs hearing that his father was around. How Zhao Zhi knew he had no idea but he had to get out of here as quickly as possible otherwise he would be grounded for the rest of his life. The two people quickly washed up nning their grand escape.


    Qie Xieling mistakenly thought Zhao Zhi was panicking because of what happenedst time. Little did he know that that panic was because Zhao Zhi hadmitted an even greater offence that could have him six feet under by the end of the night. If Wen Qinxi watched the entire rey he wouldn''t be this scared but the system had deliberately left out the part were Qie Ranzhe carried him back to town.


    This had the spiteful system performing a ssic scene in fairytale movies where the viin or viiness rub their hands while letting out a bone-chilling evilugh. Luckily, Wen Qinxi didn''t hear itughing like that otherwise it would be sentenced to deletion as soon as he got out.


    While the system was screwing with him on purpose, Qie Ranzhe was nning operation mission Impossible to escape the inn. The door wasn''t an option so he opened the window intending to jump out. But before he could spider man this situation, Qie Xieling spoke.


    "Um, Shixiong. You can''t jump out of the window," said Qie Xieling looking down. Right below was Machu standing there waving at him with a radiant smile. Curious, Wen Qinxi peeped out of the window and sure enough, Qie Ranzhe''s evil henchman was waiting for them.


    "Crap!.... Don''t you have other important things to do?" asked Wen Qinxi yelling at Machu but Machu simply smiled and waved at him.


    While Wen Qinxi was trying to calcte the per cent chance of defeating Machu the door was suddenly opened with the man of the hour making his appearance.


    "We are so fucked," whispered Qie Xieling.


    Indeed, they were totally fucked.

 Chapter 398: Fifth World: Hangover Cure?

    Chapter 398: Fifth World: Hangover Cure?


    The temperature in the room dropped a few degrees with each step Qie Ranzhe took. Wen Qinxi''s body shivered as though responding to this drastic change in temperature. Qie Xieling on the other hand decided to use Zhao Zhi as a meat shield hiding behind him.


    Feeling somewhat sullen for being used as a shield by his cowardly son, Wen Qinxi pinched the side of his abdomen and said, "You are his son and I am a stranger so who do you think he is mostfortable killing?"


    "Ouch... Shixiong, I am confident in your ability to survive unlike me....," whispered Qie Xieling but he didn''t get to finish his words because Qie Ranzhe cleared his throat silencing them both.


    Qie Ranzhe red at these two people begrudgingly as he ambled over to the table at the centre of the room. As soon as he sat down a servant scurried in and ced a tray with a y teapot and three porcin cups on the table.


    Qie Ranzhe waved away the servant who was about to pour it out for him. He proceeded to pour out the steaming brew into the cups. He finished pouring it out but the two people remained standing.


    Without raising his head he said, "Are you waiting for me to personally carry you here?" in a somewhat sarcastic tone.


    Despite having said this, the two people remained rooted on the spot eyeballing him suspiciously. Annoyed, Qie Ranzhe yelled, "Sit!" in a domineering dad voice that had the two rushing over obediently.


    Qie Ranzhe pulled back his sleeve and ced the cups in front of them in a simple yet elegant move that had Wen Qinxi drooling over him again. He then proceeded to take a sip of his tea but the two people remained frozen.


    They didn''t reach out for the tea on the table watching him intently. Qie Ranzhe mmed his cup on the table and finally gazed at them with a ferocious bone-chilling stare.


    The two finally caught his hint and quickly took their cups to drink. But once that pungent liquid touched the tips of their tongues the two people''s faces turned grim wishing they could cut out their tongues to get rid of the bad taste in their mouths.


    Qie Ranzhe looked at his son and Zhao Zhi''s somewhat kindred reaction which gave him goosebumps. They weren''t simr in looks but their mannerisms were especially identical.


    "What the fuuudge," said Qie Xieling about to swear but he immediately changed his words when his father eyed him like a bald eagle eyeing its prey.


    It was Zhao Zhi''s swearing that broke the father and son stare down. "Fuck... Ran-ge, you are such a fuckin asshole. Why the fuck would you make me drink that. Ah!.... shit!" Wen Qinxi didn''t stop there, he smacked Qie Ranzhe''s arm while continuing with his swearing match.


    Qie Xieling wanted to stop Zhao Zhi but he was too slow. His favourite shixiong had just offended this great buddha with his naughty hands. Qie Ranzhe''s gaze fell on the arm that had just been smacked by this brazen man who not only acted overly familiar with him but swore at him.


    Never in his entire life had he been treated this way by anyone. Even when he was kicked out of the Zhao sect it was done subtly. Not a single bad word was said to him. Well, at least not in front of him.


    His piercing gaze moved to Zhao Zhi''s face jolting Wen Qinxi out of his trance. He felt like banging his head on the wall for acting stupid. Thinking of the pain he immediately changed it to lightly pping his face a couple of times for overlooking the current circumstances.


    "Uh... I am so, very much sorry sect leader Qie.... haha, aren''t we all friends here?" he said rubbing Qie Ranzhe''s arm but the man''s face became uglier so he reworded his sentence. "Okay, okay... I understand. Maybe the word friend is a little deep so let''s say fellow sect allies."


    This entire time Wen Qinxi''s hands didn''t leave Qie Ranzhe''s body. It wasn''t that he couldn''t read the situation but that it was just so addictive touching those sturdy muscles. He missed touching his lover so much that he forgot himself once heid his hand on him.


    The grave expression on Qie Xieling''s face deepened the more Zhao Zhi''s hand lingered on his father. He wanted to save this Shixiong but as the saying goes ''fools rush in where angels fear to tread'' there was no way to save him. ''Forget it, I will just burn joss paper on his grave,'' he thought choosing to act blind.


    Wen Qinxi got even bolder pressing the muscles with great admiration. "Wah... you have great muscles sect leader Qie. Would you like to share your exercise n?" he said digging arge put for himself.


    Qie Ranzhe''s expression turned darker and darker with each touch. He couldn''t understand why this person wasn''t afraid to offend him. Was it that his terrifying reputation was diluted by the time it got to the Zhao sect?


    He was not only taken advantage of once but twice that is after Zhao Zhi picked a fight with him. It didn''t make any sense.


    "Do you want to lose that hand?" asked Qie Ranzhe in an overbearing tone bringing Wen Qinxi back to earth.


    "Ahem... sorry," said Wen Qinxi with his fist covering his mouth. He didn''t want to provoke this tyrannical sect leader but he couldn''t help himself. This look but don''t touch policy wasn''t working for him.


    "Finish it," said Qie Ranzhe referring to the disgusting tea. Since they dared to drink especially Qie Xieling then they had to suffer the consequences of their actions.


    As expected, the two faces sank like they had been forced to drink poison. "It''s good for hangovers. Now drink," he said in a serious tone but the two people remained motionless.


    "Drink!" yelled Qie Ranzhe at his wit''s end. As soon as he said that the two resigned to their fate and gulped down the disgusting tea. Qie Ranzhe watched as the two wore ugly expressions while rushing outside to look for anything to ease their suffering. A fleeting smile showed on his face as he finished the so-called tea.


    One might ask how was he able to keep a straight face while drinking such a pungent drink? It was because he had consumed a fragrant sensory pill, the perfect antidote for those who can''t handle bitter medicine.


    After an hour of running around like headless chickens, the two men finally joined Qie Ranzhe at what was meant to be the breakfast table but because they woke upte it would be considered brunch.


    While waiting to be served, Qie Ranzhe began to interrogate the two of them with a domineering spirit that made it hard to plead the fifth. "Who did that?" asked Qie Ranzhe with his lowered eyes gazing at Qie Xieling''s chest.

 Chapter 399: Fifth World: Light Bulb Nu Shen

    Chapter 399: Fifth World: Light Bulb Nu Shen


    Both the guilty party and the victim''s gazes fell on Qie Xieling''s chest before looking away feigning ignorance. How was one supposed to say such a thing? Sorry, I hit your son while I was in berserk mode? Those words wouldn''te out of Wen Qinxi''s mouth even if he was beaten.


    "Uh.... um, here is the thing," said Qie Xieling his speech incoherent when a sudden realization struck him. "Wait, how did you know I was hurt?"


    Wen Qinxi had been looking away while pretending to be innocent like this entire situation had nothing to do with him. But Qie Xieling''s question had him staring at Qie Ranzhe with some suspicion.


    ''Jolie!'' he called out as the father and son questioned each other like in a Senate hearing. The system yed deaf for a while but how could it win against the supreme overlord?


    ''Jolie, you better start talking otherwise....,'' he said in a menacing tone that had the system appear as fast as a genie in amp.


    ''Ahem.... here is the thing. I had a slight error in my circuits and there was some type of glitch you know so I, um... it took time to retrieve the other half of what happenedst night,'' exined the system feeling its so-called circuits freeze over with each word.


    ''y it,'' said Wen Qinxi in an ''I am not asking'' type of tone that sent shivers down this AI''s program. His face changed colours multiple times like a chameleon watching a timpse video. ''Crap!'' he thought as he watched Qie Ranzhe check Qie Xieling''s bruise.


    ''I will deal with youter,'' he said to the system wondering how Jolie''s character ended up this messed up.


    System: QAQ


    There was no point selling meng right now because it was beyond saving.


    Qie Ranzhe finally stopped arguing with Qie Xieling over who ran away from home or who drank without permission and turned to the adult in this situation. "And you!" said Qie Ranzhe jolting this poor soul who was busying up with ways to apologize and lessen the impending sentence.


    "Ah... sect leader Qie, you can''t hold someone ountable for crimesmitted under mental incapacitation, right? I was out of it and I apologize for that... and the other thing," said Wen Qinxi trying to look as remorseful as possible.


    The that he was referring to was identally hitting Qie Xieling but the other thing was referring to the groping and kissing incident. Qie Ranzhe happened to catch his meaning. Unbeknownst to him, the tip of his ears reddened as he threatened, "Tell anyone about this and I will make you i.m.p.o.t.e.n.t do you understand."


    Each letter of the word impotent was annunciated individually making Wen Qinxi''s balls shrink in fright.


    "Yes, food is here. I am freaking starving," said Qie Xieling in an exaggerated tone but he soon made sense of his father''s sentence so he asked, "Wait, what happened between the two of you?"


    Qie Xieling''s head turned from Zhao Zhi to his father but no one answered. "Why is there talk of impotence?"


    Wen Qinxi felt like covering this boy''s mouth for exacerbating the situation. He took the chopsticks ced at his side and picked up a huge chunk of green beans and stuffed them into Qie Xieling''s mouth. This was the only effective way to shut him up.


    Qie Xieling chewed and swallowed the green beans with great difficulty before lodging aint, "Shixiong, do I look like a bunny? If you want to shut me up, you have to use meat."


    "Growing boys need to eat more veggies," replied Wen Qinxi marking the beginning of a long session of senseless bickering between the two.


    Qie Ranzhe watched them in silence with his brain turning at a speedparable to that of a bullet train. He had a lot of questions and the only reason why he tolerated Zhao Zhi despite what happened the previous day was that he was looking for answers.


    He reyed the previous night''s images countless times trying to figure out the reason why Zhao Zhi went crazy on him to the point of losing rationality. The only thing that stood out for him was the teardrop-shaped ss pendant with a blue lotus flower encased within.


    It was the only unique thing he took outst night. This pendant was on his person when he woke up by the riverside. ording to his analysis, it wasn''t anything special so he tossed it into his interspatial ring for the past eighteen years.


    The one time he took it out he was attacked by Zhao Zhi. Based on this analysis it meant there was a high per cent chance that Zhao Zhi had something to do with whatever happened in that nightmarish realm.


    Maybe it was because he was still in denial, he simply refused to believe that Qie Xieling came from Zhao Zhi. But judging from the way they got along and how Qie Xieling stuck to Zhao Zhi like glue, it was starting to chip away at his delusion.


    Thankfully, this dangerous line of thought didn''t proceed any further. That''s because Nu Shen from the Xiannu sect arrived back from her night hunt and invited herself to their table. She had been looking for opportunities to spend some alone time with Zhao Zhi but it seemed he was avoiding her like the gue.


    Feeling somewhat displeased by his actions she decided to implement a strategy taught by her sistersst night. ''If you can''t get them the regr way, you should try to make them jealous,'' is the strategy her sisters told her about.


    The only issue was that she couldn''t find a suitable candidate to flirt with. Where was she supposed to find a cultivator equal in status that can make Zhao Zhi jealous? Without the perfect cast member, her y would be pointless.


    It seemed the universe was on her side because she happened to walk in on the perfect specimen who happened to be sitting next to Zhao Zhi. These were the right conditions to perform the perfect y. With her hips swaying as graceful as a swan, Nu Shen walked over with the world''s most beautiful smile.


    She cupped her hands and greeted the trio before squeezing in beside Qie Ranzhe like it was the most natural thing to do. "So what are we eating?" she said almost stered by Qie Ranzhe''s side.


    Qie Xieling, "..."


    Wen Qinxi, "...."


    The two of them paused while eyeing Nu Shen as though she was an alien from god knows where. It was evident that she was here to start shit but Wen Qinxi wasn''t in the best mood right now. He was feeling so agitated watching this girl trying to flirt with his man but Nu Shen mistook his reaction.


    Thinking her n was working she upped the game unting her bazooka of a chest while asionally throwing a side nce at Zhao Zhi. Unfortunately, her n was bound to fail as witnessed in the next ten minutes.

 Chapter 400: Fifth World: Mist of Death

    Chapter 400: Fifth World: Mist of Death


    Ever wondered how it feels to watch your lover being lured by another person right in front of you? If Wen Qinxi could describe such a feeling it would like your chest was being crushed by a twenty-tonne vinegar tanker. After it''s done crushing you the vinegar stings your wounds like a thousand needles stabbing at the skin all at once.


    Well, his description could bebelled as exaggerated but that''s the only illustration he coulde up with right now. Wen Qinxi found the food rather tasteless when he saw Nu Shen brazenly tugging at Qie Ranzhe''s sleeve while calling out, "Sect leader," in a coquettish voice.


    Unable to hide his contemptuous look, Wen Qinxi smacked the chopsticks on the table and stood up to leave in a huff. The entire table fell silent watching the grown man leave without a word. Qie Xieling was about to ce a piece of stir-fried pork into Zhao Zhi''s bowl when the man up and left just like that.


    His hand holding the chopsticks paused as he watched Zhao Zhi leave. As soon as Zhao Zhi''s figure disappeared, he looked at his father and then at the fingers tugging his father''s sleeve with a raised brow. A somewhat absurd conjecture popped into his mind but he wasn''t certain.


    "I, I will go check on him," said Qie Xieling not forgetting to clean out his bowl before running after Zhao Zhi.


    As soon as Qie Xieling left, Qie Ranzhe created some distance between him and Nu Shen. He knew exactly what was going on the moment Nu Shen sat beside him. He had seen the same look on those women he kept in his sect. The only reason why he didn''t stop her was that he was curious to find out where this was headed.


    And now that he knew he naturally ended Nu Shen''s y. ording to Zhao Zhi''s reaction, he seemed to like this female disciple and Qie Ranzhe could see why. She was a beauty and her skills weren''t bad. Nu Shen would make the perfect dual cultivation partner for Zhao Zhi. But what he couldn''t understand was why Zhao Zhi pushed him down and kissed him the previous night if he was interested in this junior sister.


    Of course, it was because Zhao Zhi wanted something from him but did he have to go as far as kissing him. Qie Ranzhe didn''t bother looking at her as he spoke, "Use me again and I won''t spare you," before standing up to leave.


    His tone of voice made Nu Shen feel a sense of peril dampening her high spirits. She was ted that her sisters'' n was full proof proving Zhao Zhi had feelings for her but Qie Ranzhe just had to scare the living daylights out of her. A chill ran down her spine as Qie Ranzhe''s figure passed her back. "Terrifying... too fuckin terrifying," mumbled Nu Shen not daring to look at Qie Ranzhe''s disappearing figure.


    She was fully aware of Qie Ranzhe''s reputation but she was so desperate that she dove in without thinking. The result was that she offended this great buddha that if her sect leader finds out she won''t have a good ending.


    ***


    The rest of the day the Zhao sect disciples were rxed enjoying what this beautiful town had to offer. They had been too preupied with their own personal business to notice Zhao Zhi''s absence. Even if they realised he was missing they wouldn''t necessarily be worried because their Shixiong was powerful and diligent in cultivation so there wasn''t any cause for concern.


    Surprisingly, it was Qie Xieling who ran around looking for his Shixiong. The man had simply vanished for the entire day after brunch making him anxious. At first, he wasn''t as worried. He was simply looking for him to check if he was alright but as time passed he couldn''t shake this gut feeling that something terrible was about to happen. This feeling had him determined to find Zhao Zhi and bring him back to his father for refuge.


    Who knew after searching for several hours he still couldn''t catch sight of Zhao Zhi. If it weren''t for the fact that Machu came to take him back to Qie Ranzhe he would have kept looking.


    As soon as he reached his father, Qie Xieling didn''t hesitate to speak up. When it came to important things such as this he didn''t hide anything from him. "Father," he said before licking his dry lips.


    Qie Ranzhe saw this and said, "Sit," while Machu poured some water for him. Qie Xieling knew that his father was simply caring for him so he obediently sat down before gulping down the entire cup of water. While he drank, Qie Ranzhe spoke to him. "Why are you punishing yourself like this?.... He is probably frolicking with his lover while you are running around looking for him?"


    Qie Xieling shook his head in refusal and said, "He isn''t. Something ising, something big. Father, we have to find him."


    Seeming rxed Qie Ranzhe beckoned him to bring his arm over without saying a word. Qie Xieling was used to this. Whenever his father had time, he would check on his meridians and dantian especially after feeding him a lot of rare medicine. But this time he hadn''t consumed any of that stuff but his father was checking on him.


    A familiar warm Qi invaded his body searching for something through theplexwork of veins. The tension in Qie Ranzhe''s brows soon rxed as he retracted his hand from Qie Xieling''s wrist. "Try and circte your Qi," he said with a look of encouragement. Qie Xieling couldn''t understand what this was all about but heplied. Maybe after doing this his father would go out to look for Zhao Zhi.


    Qie Xieling closed his eyes and controlled the flow of Qi from his dantian which he had tried several times before. To his surprise, some of his Qi flowed through his meridians though minimal. He couldn''t do this before earning him the title ''cultivation wastrel'' but now he could.


    His face brightened as he opened his eyes. Trembling in excitement he ced his palms on his cheeks feeling like he had finally gained independence but before he could jump on his father to express his joy, Qie Ranzhe asked him a vital question. "Who else other than Zhao Zhi were you in contact withst night?"


    Qie Xieling excitedly replied, "It was only Shixiong... I didn''t talk to anyone apart from Shixiong."


    Having got his answer, Qie Ranzhe couldn''t deny it anymore. Whatever happened to the two of them had everything to do with Zhao Zhi. But the problem was that Zhao Zhi didn''t seem to know anything which was concerning.


    Thinking they could finally have an open discussion and figure out how to break the seal on Qie Xieling''s body entirely and get rid of whatever was preventing him from a breakthrough, Qie Ranzhe stood up to search for Zhao Zhi.

 Chapter 401: Fifth World: Mist of Death 2

    Chapter 401: Fifth World: Mist of Death 2


    But just as he was about to tell Qie Xieling he was going out his body stiffened as he sensed something ominous. His eyes widened looking at Qie Xieling who was able to sense it before he did. He was thinking how could it be possible that Qie Xieling could sense that something was wrong before any of them when shrill screams echoed in the distance.


    "Father," said Qie Xieling feeling frightened to the point of quivering.


    Qie Ranzhe ced his index finger on his lips and bit his middle finger. A drop of crimson blood shimmered in the light making Qie Xieling nervous. Qie Ranzhe drew a magical formation on the floor creating a powerful barrier encasing the room.


    "Stay here," he whispered before exiting the room. He nodded at Machu in tacit understanding. The man entered the room and drew his sabre ready to defend his little nephew.


    ***


    On the edge of town, the person Qie Xieling was searching high and low for was sitting on a tree branch cursing Nu Shen to death. This incident wouldn''t be such a big deal but Qie Ranzhe didn''t push her way. In fact, it seemed he was somewhat enjoying the attention.


    The man was handsome and had a horde of women eager to serve him at his sect so what chance did he have?


    Surrounded by such beauties, who would be able to resist? These were Zhao Zhi''s precise thoughts as he dangled from a tree drowning his sorrows in a jar of wine. He was fairly certain that he would most likely drown in vinegar before he manages to pass this world.


    "Shit!.... I need a fuckin voodoo doll to torment Nu Shen. No, no, to torment the entire harem I need all their voodoo dolls," said Wen Qinxi before tilting his head to fill his mouth with the sweet liquor.


    "Wrong world mate... there isn''t voodoo magic here," said the system that had been apanying its crazy boss in his endeavours.


    Wen Qinxi snorted while looking into the distance, "Says who. I, I am smart and I will cre-create it. Now, find me some straw and fabric."


    Jolie, "...."


    It couldn''t help but wail wondering how it ended up with this lunatic for a boss. Little did it know that Frankenstein''s monster asked the same question but couldn''te up with an answer.


    "How am I supposed to gather those things when I don''t have a physical form?"


    Wen Qinxi wanted to answer immediately but he realised the stupidity in his words so he chose to say, "How about I use you to scare Nu Shen. You can appear as a ghost in front of her and scare the shit out of her."


    "No way, I will end up having talismans thrown in my face. I am not in the mood to hear her scream ''evil begone, begone back to the depths of hell''. Find someone else," it said but Wen Qinxi began tough out loud almost falling out of the tree.


    "Hahaha... wrong world. She''s not a priest," he said with some sadness in hisughter. He decided to fight for Qie Ranzhe this onest time because he had no idea how things will be like between them in the outside world.


    Whilementing on his fate in the real world he sensed something was off in his drunken stupor. He leapt up like a superhero in a Hollywood movie and noticed a thick ck mist approaching the town. "What the ....," he said but he couldn''t continue when he heard the sinisterughter of a deranged woman permeating the air.


    "HAHAHAHA... AH HAHAHAHA!!" Was the sound reverberating in the iing mist instantly sobering up this senior disciple of a prominent sect who was also afraid of ghosts.


    "Shit!" cursed Wen Qinxi as the mist slowly formed something that closely resembled a hand to grab him and pull him in.


    Breaking out in a cold sweat, Wen Qinxi drew magic frost and shed at the mist. The hand made of mist dispelled at the swing of his sword letting out a shriek of despair.


    His actions didn''t seem to please theughing woman because she stopped making that sinisterugh and screamed at him instead.


    "AAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!" were the devastating screamsing from the woman. The kind of screams that could make an ordinary man''s ears bleed.


    It seemed he had only seeded in angering her. Despite being terrified out of his mind, Wen Qinxi stood his ground to fight but the eerie mist of death and other ideas. It bypassed him and speed up heading towards the town.


    This town was flooded with people who came there because of the good business brought by the rich cultivators making it the biggest ce the cloud of mist would have conquered if it seeds. Wen Qinxi had to stop this monstrous attack otherwise the consequences would be severe but the mist had already reached the edge of town.


    He rode magic frost to the front of the eerie mist and began to cast a barrier blocking its path. The barrier seemed to work because the woman began to scream even louder while banging the barrier with verve.


    Numerous skull-shaped figures appeared from within the mist banging on the barrier while screaming as though trying to scare or intimidate him. Well, their intimidation tactics seemed to work as Wen Qinxi''s blood ran cold but he wasn''t deterred.


    Having found a w in this barrier, the dark mist moved up at light speed creeping to the very top to seep over it. Sensing victory, the misty cloud increased speed only to be met by more trouble. Wen Qinxi was no longer alone as a group of cultivators came to his aid.


    The men and women took on the task to defend the town throwing all they had as its citizens fled for their lives. The town''s people had heard the rumours of how entire viges vanished overnight but didn''t think this nightmare woulde knocking at their doorstep after the cultivators dealt with the viges.


    Distraught and in fear for their lives they fled behind a dome-shaped barrier create by the Qie sect which sessfully shielded the central part of town. Seeing that the regr town''s people were safe within a luminous orange barrier, Wen Qinxi heaved a sigh of relief.


    But his relief was short-lived because his barrier began to crack under the violent assault of the ck mist. It couldn''t get the people in the central barrier so it intensified its attacks ready to devour anyone in its path.


    Large cracks appeared as Wen Qinxi''s surroundings descended into darkness. There was no point in repairing the barrier so Wen Qinxi took out magic frost and inhaled deeply trying to calm his breathing.


    There seemed to be something lurking in the dark stalking him like a predator in the jungle. A still quietness filled the area with the screams and wails of the people fading away till it was dead silent. To Wen Qinxi this was a perfect example of the calm before the storm and a massive storm at that. He just sincerely hoped he won''t get nightmares after leaving this world from such a sinistrous experience.

 Chapter 402: Fifth World: Cloaked Man Back In Business

    Chapter 402: Fifth World: Cloaked Man Back In Business


    Wen Qinxi stood still surrounded by the dark mist that made it difficult for him to see his hand right in front of him. The musty air made it hard to breathe but he didn''t make a sound scanning his surroundings with great vignce.


    The air was still giving off a tranquil atmosphere but that was all an illusion. All his senses were perceiving danger with his hair standing on end. A chill spread all over his back when a silent shadow flew by in a swift motion making him tightly grip the hilt of magic frost. His breathing shallow and heart racing he closed his eyes to calm himself.


    This body was designed for such a situation but if he panicked nothing but death will await him. He had to brainwash himself to suppress his fear otherwise he would die. Thinking this way he heightened his senses listening carefully for any movements.


    What he didn''t know was that once he closed his eyes a bone-chilling pair of spice-blue eyes appeared with the rest of the body shrouded in darkness watching him as though eyeing its prey.


    The creature seemed dissatisfied with Wen Qinxi''s reaction. Shouldn''t the victim scream when they see a pair of eyes looming within the dark mist? With its long nails, it scratched the ground making an eerie sound that could get one''s imagination running wild.


    Wen Qinxi kept his eyes closed while tilting his head to the side to figure out which direction the sounds wereing from.


    Scratch!.... Scratch!


    Were the drawn-out soundsing from his right intending to scare him but Wen Qinxi didn''t open his eyes. Losing its patience the creature leapt out of the shadows with a horrifying croaking sound lunging at Wen Qinxi. Its crooked fingers aimed at Wen Qinxi''s neck to sh him with its long fingernails.


    A luminous blue light suddenly shone from magic frost before the creature could reach its target. The sound of flesh being sliced and blood sttering to the ground followed apanying the loud screeches from the creature.


    That loud screech seemed to cause a disturbance in the dark mist like a drop of water causing ripples in a calmke. "Kill!... Kill them all, HA HAHAHA!" was the sinister voice of the woman who had been silent all this while. As soon as she issued hermand, blood-curdling screams pervaded the air. The sound of fighting soon followed as the cultivators stood their ground.


    Sensing a horde of those filthy creaturesing his way, Wen Qinxi abruptly opened his eyes and swung magic frost emitting an enchanting blue arc. The creatures were no match to this tremendous attack and were directly shed in half.


    Killing them wasn''t an issue but when they came in swarms it made it incrediblyborious. It was only now that Wen Qinxi got a closer look from the glint of lighting from his sword. The creatures were most definitely humans before they were turned.


    Wen Qinxi could only conclude that they were the missing vigers but their appearance right now would make it hard for their rtives to identify them. Their spines were crooked and twisted in unnatural ways with some of them walking on all fours. Not only were the bodies contorted weirdly but their skins had ugly blue patches like someone or something bit through and left its traces.


    The horde grew bigger and bigger making it incredibly difficult for Wen Qinxi. He was now inching closer to being on the defence rather than offence. It was in this moment of carelessness that he ended up getting his cheek scratched by a brazen creature that descended from above him.


    If he hadn''t dodged the attack he would have ended up with more than just a scratch. Angered by these brain dead monsters, Wen Qinxi lost it. He leapt up into the air in a graceful spin like a ballerina and stretched out his hands gathering water from his surroundings. In a matter of seconds, he was surrounded by water droplets painting a tranquil picture.


    But there was nothing tranquil about it because the water droplets suddenly transformed into sharply pointed ice shards aimed at the ground below. His closed eyes suddenly opened in a gut-wrenching way before the ice shards rained down like bullets on the creatures.


    The sudden attack had the creatures screaming and screeching in agony. The remaining surviving creatures vanished into the thick mist after the woman yelled from the cover of darkness. "Stop.... stop hurting my babies. I will kill you... I will kill all of you... AAAAAHHHHHH!!" she said with a horrendous scream that made Wen Qinxi''s ears hurt.


    Having exacerbated his strength, Wen Qinxi descended from up above ready to face off with whatever was remaining of the creatures using his collection of talisman. To his surprise, the mist actively avoided him as though afraid of him.


    But it wasn''t fear of him but fear of someone else. Wen Qinxi remained vignt with his fingers gripping his sword. It was a good thing he didn''t rx because three gruesome minutester a figure appeared from the mist heading his way. Wen Qinxi swung his sword in that direction his action ruthless and precise.


    If the strike hit its target the person would surely die but this wasn''t an ordinary person. Magic frost was caught just as it was about to strike the man''s neck. The cloaked man held the edge of magic frost and twisted it but his hands didn''t bleed.


    Wen Qinxi opened his eyes wide in astonishment. A creepy smile appeared from within the shadows of the hood making Wen Qinxi''s blood run cold. Muffled chuckles escaped the man''s throat before he said, "Interesting."


    The cloaked man then proceeded to strike Wen Qinxi''s chest with his palm sending him flying a few feet. But before he hit the ground the cloaked man shed over and grabbed his neck before vanishing with the both of them.


    ***


    While Wen Qinxi was dealing with a dire situation, Qie Ranzhe was on the prowl for the cause of all this. The cultivators had dealt with the situation in the viges by killing off the creatures but this was a band-aid solution. They didn''t uproot the problem resulting in this mess.


    He instructed his disciples to maintain the barrier before vanishing into the thick mist surrounded by an oppressive aura. Maybe it was because he was too scary or that his cultivation rank was high but those vicious creatures seemed to be running away from him.


    Qie Ranzhe took out a talisman with weird symbols drawn on it and whispered something into it before tossing it into the air like a paper ne. The talisman split into bright orange wisps seeking out cultivators. Once each wisp attached itself to a cultivator it would transmit Qie Ranzhe''s message before vanishing into thin air.


    "Leave," was the simple and straightforward message sent by Qie Ranzhe. The cultivators that had been hard at battle were hesitant but knowing Qie Ranzhe''s reputation it was best they leave lest they got caught up in the crossfire.

 Chapter 403: Fifth World: The Cloaked Mans Darling

    Chapter 403: Fifth World: The Cloaked Man''s Darling


    While the cultivators were evacuating the creatures lurking deep in the mist hid from Qie Ranzhe but how could he let them be? Bright red mes appeared on his palms as he ambled through the mist as though taking a casual stroll.


    His hands drooped on either side of his body with his palms angled to the ground. Like mmable gas, the mist caught on fire with each step he took making the woman scream in horror.


    "AAAAAHHHHHH!!!!! It hurts.... Stop, stop you are hurting me," she screamed like a little girl but Qie Ranzhe didn''t stop. He intensified the attack intending to lure her out. The louder the ear-piercing screams the hotter the mes.


    This went on until she showed herself crawling on the ground looking extremely pitiful. Her upper body and face had an extensivework of blue veins that made it hard for Qie Ranzhe to make out her facial features. Her lower body was enveloped by an endless stream of the dark mist that was now aze.


    It seemed to be attached to her body as she crawled towards him looking pathetic. Their entire surroundings were on fire but Qie Ranzhe was unfazed as he crouched down before her. He could sense a formidable force embedded in her. A force that granted her this much dark Qi to wreak havoc. Qie Ranzhe recited an incantation while drawing symbols on her forehead.


    This action had the woman arch her back as she screamed in terror. A blue fog parted from her with a painful ripping sound as though tearing itself from her like she was a scourge.


    Once it was done separating itself from the woman it attempted to flee but Qie Ranzhe grabbed it and burnt it to ash. The fog made faint shrieking sounds as it fought to live but it was pointless and so it met its tragic end in this way.


    It was only then that Qie Ranzhe saw the woman''s full appearance. She wasn''t a woman at all. It was rather urate to describe her as a girl. It was obvious as day that she was a ghost but Qie Ranzhe guessed she didn''t know judging from her ecstatic appearance.


    "I, I, I am back... I am really back to my old self," she said with tears wailing up in her eyes. She looked up to see the face of her saviour but her face sank when she recognized him.


    In a swift motion, she kowtowed before him banging her head on the ground. "Young master Qie.... please forgive me. Young master Qie, have mercy."


    Vexed, Qie Ranzhe replied, "Raise your head."


    Trembling in great trepidation she raised her head with tears streaming down her cheeks. Qie Ranzhe studied her carefully but there was no feeling of familiarity so he asked, "What is your name?"


    The girl bit her lower lip terrified to make a sound but she had to answer his question. "She-shei Lee," she said before closing her eyes in deep sorrow.


    Qie Ranzhe was familiar with the name but he couldn''t understand why she was here. Shei Lee was a servant girl in the Qie mansion who directly served his mother. Back then Qie Ranzhe''s mother wrote him a letter like she always did but most of the things she wrote were usually trivial matters. The one time Shei Lee was mentioned, it was about her stealing his father''s seal and a box of precious jewellery. Unfortunately for her, she had robbed the wrong person.


    Master Qie was especially ruthless sending his shadow hounds to tear her to pieces after retrieving the stolen property. That was the only time he heard of the name Shei Lee. Now her pitiful ghost was kowtowing in front of him begging for forgiveness.


    "Speak," he said in a calm yet tyrannical voice that had her trembling in fear.


    "He-he, he made me do it but, but I got caught," she said before pursing her lips in panic, "when I, I was dying he asked me if I wanted to live and-and I said yes. But he turned me into this monster and told me to follow his instructions."


    "Who? " he asked but as soon as his voice fell an arrow was shot straight into Shei Lee''s head with a talisman attached to the arrowhead eliminating her feeble ghost. She screamed as her body scattered right in front of Qie Ranzhe.


    Qie Ranzhe flung his hand dispersing the mes revealing the burnt town. In his peripheral view, he noticed a figure fleeing into the distance. He leapt up to the roof in hot pursuit but the culprit in a red demon mask was fast.


    Having exhausted some of his strength extracting the demonic Qi in Shei Lee, he knew he wouldn''t be able to catch up. In a swift motion, he took out a rare tracking talisman he had bought to track his unruly child and activated it before tossing it at the man''s back.


    The talisman urately attached to the man''s back as he used a teleportation talisman to getaway. The talisman turned invisible making it hard for the man to notice it.


    Qie Ranzhe stood by the roof looking in the direction the man went but his attention was soon grasped when he felt a somewhat familiar Qi nearby. He leapt up in the air with his hands behind his back in an imposing elegant manner like he owned the skies.


    He scanned the entire town only to see a familiar figure and a cloaked man engaged in a vicious battle. From the looks of it the cloaked man was winning so he dashed over intending tond a hand.


    While Qie Ranzhe was nning to save the damsel in distress, Wen Qinxi was on the verge of copse cursing this cloaked fellow ten times over. He didn''t even know the identity of the man but he was called darling several times while getting his ass kicked.


    This was undoubtedly the most humiliating and frustrating thing he had ever experienced since he decided to enter this game and help his boss out.


    Wen Qinxi was kicked in the chest sending him straight into a wall but before he could recover he was suddenly grabbed by the neck and hovered ten meters above the ground. The man whispered in his ear saying, "You have to remember me," in a horrifying tone that made his blood run cold.


    Wen Qinxi wanted to say something but he found he couldn''t with his face turning red unable to breathe. He honestly thought he was going to die right then and there but lucky for him someone came to his rescue.


    The cloaked man let go of his neck all of sudden causing him to fall to the ground as his vision dimmed. All he remembers is seeing Qie Ranzhe fighting with that man before his vision went ck as he fell unconscious.

 Chapter 404: Fifth World: The Cloaked Mans Story

    Chapter 404: Fifth World: The Cloaked Man''s Story


    With a loud thud, Zhao Zhi''s body hit the ground raising dust making the two men pause their actions. Qie Ranzhe wasn''t particrly concerned about Zhao Zhi whether he had broken or ruptured something when he fell mostly because of the man''s stage in cultivation.


    Instead, it was the cloaked man who seemed to have an exaggerated reaction. "Why, why would you do that. You made me drop him," yelled the hysterical cloaked man, "Do you know how much he is worth?"


    Qie Ranzhe''s brows creased at such words thinking, ''Wasn''t he the one who just threw Zhao Zhi at the wall after beating the crap out of him?"


    Having sensed Qie Ranzhe''s questioning gaze the cloaked man yelled, "He''s mine so I can do as I please but no one else is allowed especially you."


    Qie Ranzhe scoffed despite himself. He seriously began to question if he had just gotten himself involved in a lover''s spat and if this is how lovers y then he would rather stay single. Feeling the mockerying from the silent Qie Ranzhe, the cloaked man lost it.


    All his life, he had lived under the shadow of Qie Ranzhe whether be it in the Qie Mansion or in the cultivation world all because he was born of a concubine. This meant where ever he went or whatever he did he was never as good as the young master of the Qie family which annoyed him to death.


    At the age of fourteen that vile man, his supposed father, kicked him and his mother out of the Qie mansion on suspicion that his mother cheated with a rich merchant. Because of this incident, Master Qie disowned him iming that he wasn''t his son. "Go look for your father else where!" where Master Qie''s words as kicked him in the street.


    He truly believed this n was orchestrated by that evil woman, Madam Qie who pranced around town with a holy mother face but possessed a dark heart within.


    Life wasn''t easy for the pair of mother and son after that. Because they had offended the Qie family they could no longer stay in the same town. His beautiful mother had to resort to working for the brothel while he had to do small odd jobs. He would have joined a sect but it turned out he wasn''t as talented.


    At first, he resigned himself to his fate but soon praises rose where ever he went about the talented and especially handsome older brother of his. Their words reminded him of his inferiority constantly hammering at his sore spot where ever he went.


    His heart grew darker and darker with each day his mental state stretched taut like a bowstring. This bowstring finally snapped the day Qie Ranzhe came into town with a group of disciples to eliminate walking corpses that were terrorizing a ce one town over.


    Even he himself didn''t know what he was thinking at the time but he stepped in front of the group that was striding down the street with an air of superiority. "Dage!" was what he called out on that day but the Zhao sect disciples blocked his path drawing their menacing swords to threaten him.


    Qie Ranzhe pushed his way out of the crowd and reached him with a nk expression like he didn''t know him. In truth, Qie Ranzhe didn''t recognize him. When his father took on a concubine he was already part of the Zhao sect so he didn''t know about that drama the unfolded in the Qie Mansion.


    All he knew was that the concubine his father brought had a son but his mother didn''t say anything beyond that.


    The next time he went home, the so-called concubine and son weren''t anywhere in sight. This exined his reaction but of course, his estranged brother misunderstood thinking he had been shunned. His attitude took a 180-degree turn losing his mind.


    "I am Qie Anzhie, your brother. Your bitch of a mother plotted against my mother just because of jealousy and got us kicked out of the family. As expected of the devil''s spawn... you are as heartless as that bitch!" were the words he spoke that led to him being tackled by the Zhao Sect disciples and beaten in public.


    Qie Ranzhe was angry hearing the woman who gave birth to him being cursed out that way but he also didn''t want to bother with a stranger he had never met. "Leave it!" he had roared out at that time before walking away with a bleak expression.


    The disciples obeyed and left the bleeding Qie Anzhie on the street grimacing in pain. Whenever Qie Anzhie recalled the events of that day his anger would reach unbearable heights victimizing whoever is beside him.


    Seeking thefort of his mother, he went to her brothel. Seeing the blood-covered youth, the mistress stopped him iming she was entertaining a client.


    Qie Anzhie knew too well not to disturb his mother while she was working but his state of mind was not right. He had just been disrespected by that awful woman''s spawn and desperately needed to rest his head on his mother''s bosom asfort.


    Disregarding the mistress'' words he kicked in the door and sure enough, his mother was entertaining a guest but what caught his attention was the identity of the fat man lying on top of his mother. It was the so-called merchant they were thrown out of the Qie mansion for.


    He overheard his mother say in a coquettish voice, "Darling, you promised me that you would take me in when master Qie divorces me but you abandoned me again. How can I believe your words this time?"


    As though struck by lightning, Qie Anzhie stood rooted on the spot as the fat man got off his mother yelling at him. So many words were said but Qie Anzhie didn''t hear any of it. He clenched his fist tightly before a burst of sinister paradoxicalughter escaped his throat. Something inside of him had snapped as he swung his fist beating that man with verve.


    The man wanted to fight back but he wasn''t a match for Qie Anzhie so he cursed the boy while trying to get away. Qie Anzhie wanted to pursue him but his face was suddenly stabbed with something.


    His mother, his dearest mother had stabbed his cheek with a shard of ss. Qie Anzhie''s face turned pale as he mumbled, "Mo-mother.... you," his reddened eyes brimming with tears.


    In shock, he left the brothel not bothering to take care of his wound. Maybe it was because he had resigned to his fate walking aimlessly outside the city gates. It turned out that everything he knew was a lie. From his mother his father to his estranged brother, it was all a lie. From the very beginning, he had always been alone. But whose fault was it?


    Qie Anzhie copsed to the ground atop a hill as a peal of hystericalughter pervaded the air. His entire body exuded lots of resentment as he knelt thereughing to no end. This is when he started hearing voices calling him forth from within the forest.

 Chapter 405: Fifth World: A Snoring Zhao Zhi

    Chapter 405: Fifth World: A Snoring Zhao Zhi


    A pair of glistening eyes appeared from within the dark forest as the voices beckoned him to follow. And so the boy whose mother abandoned him, whose father tossed him into the street like a stray dog and whose brother had him beaten in public followed the lone figure never to be seen again.


    There was one word echoing in his mind all these years. Kill! Kill! This word reverberated in his mind as he bathed in the blood of the demon that called him forth to be his servant. Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, he emerged as a powerful being with one goal in mind which was destroying the Qie family while feeding their souls to his master.


    He murdered his mother in cold blood only to wail with her bludgeon body in his arms while caressing her affectionately. "Shh mother, your son will avenge you," he had whispered at that time as though coaxing the corpse he had killed by his own hand.


    With the instruction of his master he managed to exert revenge on the Qie family by opening that realm but who would have thought his dearest brother would survive? "How troublesome," he had said watching Qie Ranzhe from the shadows.


    Now that Qie Ranzhe had served himself to him like a roasted pig with an apple in its mouth, how could he let him go? A grim smile appeared on Qie Anzhie''s lips as he summoned dark sinister shadows to attack Qie Ranzhe.


    Sensing an ominous demonic Qi from the man before him, Qie Ranzhe unsheathed ck cmity and whispered something to the sword. Shimmering in excitement the sword left its master''s hold and made a shing sound as it multiplied itself on the spot. Several replicas of ck cmity surrounded Qie Ranzhe pointing in the cloaked man''s direction.


    Qie Ranzhe could sense the sword''s impatience waiting for hismand. Qie Anzhie let out a psychotic chuckle his eyes menacingly dark. "Still so troublesome...," he said before his eyes turned a terrifying shade of red as he made a hand signal. The shadows howled like the wind attacking Qie Ranzhe.


    This was merely Qie Anzhie''s wishful thinking that his attack could take down Qie Ranzhe. In the next second his face was suddenly blinded by a white light dispersing the frenzied dark shadows.


    Qie Anzhie attempted to dispel the bright light but replicas of ck cmity emerged from the white light blindsiding him.


    Qie Anzhie was left with no choice but to leap up into the air but he didn''t escape this ordeal unscathed. His arm was shed in the process but he didn''t seem to be in pain.


    Mid-air he took out a blood-red double-reed wind musical instrument (Guan) and yed a high pitched and fast pace tone.


    Dark shadows emerged from this evil instrument calling forth the scorched bodies of the creatures. The corpses opened their eyes with a faint red glow as they sprung up like delirious beasts towards Qie Ranzhe.


    The several swords changed target and ruthlessly sliced and diced the creatures. While a PK battle between ck cmity and the corpses was going on, Qie Anzhie unsheathed a sword with the characters hell raiser from its sheath.


    Qie Ranzhe frowned looking at those distinct purple vines at the edge of its de. This sword was incredibly familiar to him. How could it not be when he grew up seeing it on his father''s side. How on earth did it end up in this man''s hands?


    A sly grin appeared on Qie Anzhie''s face looking like a bloodthirsty animal. He caressed the sword while saying, "Uh, sect leader Qie.... it must be that you recognised this legendary sword. I wonder who it belonged to..... HAHAHAHAHA."


    Qie Ranzhe''s heartbeat quickened with his sturdy chest heaving violently as he recalled how his family members were ughtered in that monstrous realm. The image of his father''s body covered in blood with his hand stretched out towards him while mouthing his name filled his mind.


    The memories shed by like it happened yesterday. Even the smell of blood filled his nose like he was back in that horrid ce. He was re-living this nightmare again.


    Seeing that Qie Ranzhe was immersed in his dark past, Qie Anzhie slowly approached him intending to stab him with their father''s sword and end it all. With their faces close to each other, Qie Anzhie showed a sinister smile before driving the sword into Qie Ranzhe''s abdomen.


    But before he couldnd his strike, Qie Ranzhe suddenly summoned ck cmity as he took a step back and shed across Qie Anzhie''s chest sending him flying a few feet away.


    With a look of shock, Qie Anzhie fell onto the roof touching his bleeding chest in disbelief. A streak of blood flowed at the corner of his mouth as heughed hysterically. "Sect leader Qie is still so heartless."


    As soon as he said that he stood up and vanished into thin air leaving a cloud of ck mist and hell raiser on the tiles of the roof.


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t pick up the sword with his own hand but he stretched out his hand and raised it with his internal energy.


    The sword hovered above ground in an awe-inspiring disy but Qie Ranzhe wasn''t fooled. That man must have left it on purpose. He used a cleansing talisman and as expected the paper burnt to ash as a powerful demonic Qi screeched from the sword.


    If he had touched it, he would have died a horrible death on the spot. Qie Ranzhe ced the sword in a spirit-trapping bag before jumping off the roof. The replicas of ck cmity vanished when they were done dealing with the corpses.


    Qie Ranzhe ambled over to the sleeping Zhao Zhi and crouched before him. The young man had his eyes closed with his brow creased like he was in pain. Concerned, Qie Ranzhe stretched out his hand to smooth the crease in between his brows before transferring some of his Qi to the injured Zhao Zhi. His sleeping appearance was incredibly enchanting softening this old virgin''s heart.


    This feeling didn''tst because the once peaceful Zhao Zhi began to snore like a pig. Qie Ranzhe''s hand paused mid-air as he watched the man rub his nose like a pig rubbing its snout as he turned to sleep on his side.


    Qie Ranzhe, "..."


    Qie Ranzhe''s n to carry him back to the inn was immediately thrown out of the window. He was seriously contemting on whether to leave him here but when he thought of all his burning questions, he decided to wake him up.


    What began as a simple shove to wake him up escted to a p but Zhao Zhi still didn''t wake up. Out of ideas, Qie Ranzhe heaved a sigh while taking out the pendant he got attacked over thest time and sure enough Zhao Zhi woke up in a haste.


    "That''s mine," he said trying to grab the pendant but Qie Ranzhe stood up and flew a few feet away while dangling the carrot in front of the donkey.


    "Thene and get it," replied Qie Ranzhe with a smug look on his face.


    Wen Qinxi, "..."

 Chapter 406: Fifth World: Fighting Or Flirting?

    Chapter 406: Fifth World: Fighting Or Flirting?


    It''s a well known but unapproved fact that boys usually bully the ones they like but they just don''t know that their urge to bully is corrted to like. Such is the case with Qie Ranzhe the inexperienced sect leader when ites to matters of the heart.


    Yes, he had a glorious harem that plenty coveted and drooled over. There were even written songs about the glorious harem of the rich immortal which was slightly exaggerated. If the masses were ever to find out the truth, they would vomit out a mouthful of blood in shock.


    Qie Ranzhe held the pendant in his hand as a great desire to bully Zhao Zhi rose from the deepest depths of his heart. He found that watching this man run around due to his provocation was truly entertaining so he didn''t stop.


    "What? Is it that your boyfriend gave it to you that you have to work this hard to get it back?" said the sect leader exuding a rare childish side seen by none.


    Wen Qinxi grew extremely annoyed with his handsome face contorted in a funny way. He rushed over in a sh trying to grab the pendant as an overwhelming urge grew inside him. He felt like he was going to lose his mind at any second unless he got that pendant.


    Qie Ranzhe vanished into thin air and reappeared atop a roof sitting in the lotus position while looking down at Zhao Zhi. Wen Qinxi felt like picking up a rock and throwing it at Qie Ranzhe to bring him down like boys do when they want to take down mango fruits. As the saying goes a tree that bears fruit will be stoned.


    He not only thought it but did it while yelling, "What boyfriend.... stop being an asshole and give it to me!" Unfortunately for him, the rock turned to dust before it even reached its target.


    Qie Ranzhe scoffed twice in one day with his image as a stone-faced sect leader ruined just by associating with Zhao Zhi. "You actually have the audacity to curse at me? Are you tired of living?" he said while putting the pendant away into his interspatial bag.


    Wen Qinxi stomped his foot like a little loli that had just been denied a kiss by her boyfriend. He folded his arms across his chest and turned away while tapping his foot in annoyance. He was done talking and besides, there was no point in talking to a lunatic.


    This sort of reaction didn''t deter Qie Ranzhe in the slightest. In fact, his desire to poke the bear grew much stronger. He wanted to know how Zhao Zhi would look angry so he said, "This Shidi is so frivolous. He not only has a boyfriend but he is also flirting with a Shimei on the side. How interesting."


    That was the final nail in the coffin. Wen Qinxi was done dealing with an idiot that had a memory like that of a goldfish. So he walked off in big strides but as soon as he took a second step, Qie Ranzhe appeared in front of him with a sly smile.


    Under threat of losing his source of entertainment, Qie Ranzhe decided to do something about it. Like a cat ying with a ball of string, he wasn''t done ying with it yet the ball of string decided to roll away without his permission. How could he let that happen? ''You will only leave when I let you leave,'' he thought to himself.


    He would have said it out loud but this firecracker seemed to disregard his reputation otherwise why would Zhao Zhi willfully attack and provoke him ceaselessly despite knowing his identity?


    "How about we fight it out. If you win, I will give you what you want?" suggested Qie Ranzhe with hidden intentions.


    Unfortunately for him, Wen Qinxi wasn''t a newbie when it came to dealing with this man which meant he could read him through and through like a book. Well, maybe not a hardcover book but an ebook on kindle or something.


    There is no need to further damage the environment by cutting down trees for a book. That''s 20,000 sheets of paper per single tree and let''s not forget the harmful chemicals used in the process. Okay, his thought process was a bit off-topic so he veered back to the topic at hand.


    Wen Qinxi stared back at this silly sect leader and said, "Sect leader Qie truly takes me for a newborn. Why on earth would I challenge someone greater in cultivation rank than myself... Isn''t that setting myself up for failure?"


    Qie Ranzhe felt like he had been found out but his expression didn''t change. "How about sealing our spiritual power and fight like mere mortals," said Qie Ranzhe but even he couldn''t believe what had juste out of his mouth.


    If some malicious thing happens to show up right now would they have enough time to unseal their spiritual power and defend themselves? Well, he had already said it and there was no way to take back his words.


    Wen Qinxi thought for a while before responding, "Fine.... but what do you get if I lose?"


    "If you lose then I would have to trouble this Shidi toe back with me to the Qie Sect," he said with a straight face like it wasn''t him speaking.


    Wen Qinxi chuckled thinking this sly man alwayses up with absurd ways to keep him by his side. This was already his goal in the first ce. How was he supposed to help Qie Ranzhe seed in conquering this world if he was living under the Zhao sect? It just that he was trying toe up with reasons to get into the Qie sect.


    Who would have thought an opportunity would present itself without putting in any effort and even came with a bonus. The bonus was having to hit Qie Ranzhe once even though he would lose the fight.


    Ghosts, guns even a one-ton bear, you name it, he had been through it all. And now there was a harem. He might not be able to punch his boss outside the game but in here, right now, it was open season.


    "Okay, deal," said Wen Qinxi sealing his spiritual power in a swift motion.


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t think Zhao Zhi would be that enthusiastic which was interesting. He couldn''t fathom what he had done to this junior disciple that made him want to fight him so bad. While musing over this after sealing his spiritual power, he was suddenly tackled by the eager beaver marking the beginning of the scuffle.


    From an outsider''s perspective, it couldn''t be described as a fight but a yful scuffle between two cubs. Actually, all Qie Ranzhe was doing was holding back Zhao Zhi like an older brother holding back his younger brother by cing a hand on his forehead.


    Sadly for the two of them, this unfortunate event was witnessed by Qie Xieling who had ran over once the dust had settled. He was worried to death rushing over only to find his father on top of Zhao Zhi pinning him down.

 Chapter 407: Fifth World: How To Get Rid Of A Thin Skinned Person

    Chapter 407: Fifth World: How To Get Rid Of A Thin Skinned Person


    He couldn''t help but squint his eyes to take a closer look. This person couldn''t be his father, right? He was about to walk closer and confirm but his eyes were suddenly covered by a hand.


    "Kids aren''t meant to see such things," said Machu while watching this PG scene with great interest.


    Qie Xieling took Machu''s hand away and directly asked, "What are you two doing?" This ended the fight that wasn''t exactly a fight. Possibly a pathetic excuse of a fight. The two men paused looking like they had been caught with their pants down.


    Wen Qinxi shoved Qie Ranzhe off his body and stood up with his long hair looking like it had just had a fight with a blow-drier. He fixed himself up not forgetting to tattletale. "Your father is bullying me," he said to Qie Xieling while fixing his hair as he walked away.


    The two people eyed Qie Ranzhe like hemitted the crime of the century. Feeling wronged he said, "I didn''t," but the stares only turned meaningful. Qie Ranzhe shook his head and said, "Forget it... I don''t need to exin myself to you." As soon as he said this he left in the direction Zhao Zhi disappeared to.


    While Qie Xieling and Machu were analyzing Qie Ranzhe''s odd behaviour, Wen Qinxi was being surrounded by his eager disciples who had been traumatized by the dark mist. A barrage of questions struck him making him feel dizzy.


    He was cowardly too but this group of disciples were a disgrace to the cultivation world. From their faces, he could tell some of them wailed within the dark mist. Surprisingly, none of them died which was a miracle in itself. Wen Qinxi had to coax them like coaxing a cat before they could let him go.


    Surely, there is no rest for the wicked but in this case, Wen Qinxi had no idea what evil thing he had done to deserve this. This was because as soon as he stepped foot into the inn, he saw Nu Shen sitting on the staircase blocking everyone''s path like a tollbooth.


    Well, a tollbooth grants ess by paying toll fees but in Nu Shen''s case, it was more like one had to answer questions before being allowed through. The best way to describe it would be like a police blockade and he was the fugitive she was looking for.


    Wen Qinxi took a 180-degree turn heading back into the street like he had seen a ghost. Choosing the unconventional way to enter the inn, he jumped in through the open window of his room. Feeling smug he looked down through the window praising himself.


    Just as he turned around, he unexpectedly bumped into a sturdy firm chest. He closed his eyes inprehension to the kind of situation he was currently in. "You lost," said Qie Ranzhe feeling like he had conquered the world, "so you know what that means."


    Wen Qinxi took a step back and said, "I didn''t lose. The fight was interrupted so it doesn''t count." He walked past Qie Ranzhe and sat down on the bed taking off his boots to remove the dust from that scuffle. He thought it was a good idea at the time but he failed tond a single p earning humiliation and dirt as the grand prize. It turned out he only got baited into horsing around.


    "I will go with you to the Qie sect if you give me the pendant," said Wen Qinxi walking over and stretching his palm towards the annoying sect leader.


    Qie Ranzhe pretended like he had cotton buds in his ear crossing his arms across his chest. "No, I will give it to you when we get to the Qie sect," replied Qie Ranzhe as stubborn as ever.


    Wen Qinxi heaved a deep sigh and walked away. He sat back on the bed taking off his socks which he harshly threw to the ground in frustration.


    Qie Ranzhe sat on the bed Qie Xieling slept on and asked, "What rtion do you have to that man?" while crossing his legs eyeing him like judge, jury and executioner. He had heard that man refer to Zhao Zhi as darling a couple of times so it must mean they had a rtionship possibly the toxic kind.


    Wen Qinxi stood up and undid his belt, the implication obvious but sect leader Qie didn''t catch wind of the situation earlier. "I don''t remember anything from the past. I had a near-drowning experience a couple of years ago," answered Wen Qinxi cing the belt on the bed.


    Qie Ranzhe raised a brow as he uttered, "How convenient.... so you have no idea why he was calling you darling.... Wait? What are you doing?"


    Wen Qinxi didn''t want to be interrogated for something he had no answers to so he implemented operation ''how to get rid of a thin-skinned person. Well, Qie Ranzhe wasn''t exactly thin-skinned but since their rtionship hadn''t proceeded to the intimate stage this n was bound to seed.


    "Taking a bath of course... Don''t tell me sect leader Qie has a problem with it," exined Wen Qinxi while shedding off his outer robe.


    Qie Ranzhe felt his cheeks burn in embarrassment but there was no way he would let Zhao Zhi win so he put on a stern front and said, "Of course not. Carr-carry on."


    Wen Qinxi turned his face away with his lips pressed into a thin line suppressing a smile. "Okay, suit yourself," said Wen Qinxi with his hand unfastening the top half of his inner robe. It seemed innocent at first nce but for Qie Ranzhe who found himself watching, it suddenly turned into a striptease. The sect leader had thrown himself into the fire.


    Don''t make the mistake of thinking Wen Qinxi was innocent in all of this. He purposefully spiced it up with subtle movements that could have dor bills stuffed into his pants at a strip club.


    The thin fabric slid down his body showing off strong broad shoulders that could have anyone curious to see the rest of it. Qie Ranzhe was still okay then but once the shoulder des were exposed it piqued his curiosity. The way the spinal line moved with Zhao Zhi''s movements had this man''s heart pulsing.


    All this provocation was bearable that is until Zhao Zhi turned around to face him with a lustrous smile. After that, it was K.O. for this sect leader. "Damnit," he muttered before walking out mming the door right behind him.


    Zhao Zhi''s trick absolutely worked. He thought he could endure it at first. Besides both of them were men but Zhao Zhi was a vixen. Better yet, a demon fox with the ability to tempt any living thing and it was his misfortune that he met such a person.


    "Father, is Shixiong in there?" said Qie Xieling who had finally caught up with them. He was afraid Zhao Zhi would be bullied further in his absence. Little did he know that his innocent-looking Shixiong was the one bullying others.


    "No he is not..... let''s go," replied Qie Ranzhe before pulling Qie Xieling away. God forbid if he ever lets these two share a room ever again.

 Chapter 408: Fifth World: Shooting Oneself In The Foot

    Chapter 408: Fifth World: Shooting Oneself In The Foot


    It took Qie Ranzhe an entire day to calm down meditating in the forest. He was basically off the grid making Qie Xieling believe he was off doing important sect duties. So when night time came Qie Xieling didn''t hesitate to move over to Zhao Zhi''s room for a sleepover despite his father''s refusal.


    The two people had dinner together while chatting away like a pair of childhood friends. This harmonious scene didn''tst long because two hours in, there was an impatient knock on the door. The two people froze before ncing down at the wine and mahjong tiles on the table.


    "Didn''t you say your dad left town?" asked Wen Qinxi in a low whisper. Qie Xieling''s brows knitted together as he pursed his lips lost in thought.


    "I didn''t see uncle Machu so I assumed he was gone," replied Qie Xieling looking at the door, "Let''s ignore it. They will probably leave when they are tired of knocking."


    Wen Qinxi shrugged his shoulders as he continued arranging the tiles. He sincerely hoped it wasn''t Qie Ranzhe otherwise they would be in serious trouble. Not only was he drinking with his son but he was also teaching him how to gamble.


    To be honest, he probably wouldn''t do this in the real world if he ever had a son but they were so bored. It was either cultivate or fight ghosts and the rest of the time they had nothing else to do. They had already been punished for this with that disgusting poisonous tea that almost killed his taste buds and he didn''t want to be caught again.


    He was about to suggest packing up and hiding the evidence when his fear became a reality. "Zhao Zhi, is Xieling in there?" spoke an enchanting voice that only belongs to one person. The two people stiffened before they began to pack away the evidence in a frenzy.


    "Fuck... I thought he was gone," whispered Qie Xieling while packing away the tiles in the box.


    Wen Qinxi gave him a helpless look while cing the jar under his bed. "Obviously, you thought wrong," he replied before taking out a piece of candy to try and conceal the faint smell of wine. Lucky for them they hadn''t drunk much. If Qie Ranzhe came thirty minutester he would have found them sloshed big time.


    The knocks became even louder with time and it became apparent that if they didn''t respond, Qie Ranzhe would break into the door like the FBI and the sentence would be much heavier. Wen Qinxi was about to do the responsible thing and open the door but he paused when he heard Qie Xieling speaking.


    "What the fuck?" whispered Wen Qinxi with a quizzical expression. This expression was warranted because Qie Xieling had adjusted his voice to sound like a girl and said,


    "Sorry sect leader it''s me, Nu Shen. Qie Xieling isn''t here and Shixiong is sleeping. He''s tired from doing this and that," while twirling a strand of his hair like a flirtatious girl toplete the act.


    Wen Qinxi''s mouth was agape and his eyes opened wider and wider with each word Qie Xieling spoke. The kid was sshing dirty water on his reputation disregarding his future interests. He wanted to getid in this world, okay? Especially when he didn''t know what awaited him once Qie Ranzhe woke up. His igit of a spawn was sabotaging him.


    "Do you even know what this and that is?" questioned Wen Qinxi while ring at his unbiddable son.


    Qie Xieling shrugged his shoulders and said, "Isn''t it just hugging and kissing?..... Ouch! Shixiong!" Thest part was so loud as Qie Xieling broke character. This was because his forehead was flicked ruthlessly by Wen Qinxi.


    Qie Xieling''s imitation was surprisingly pretty good. If it weren''t for Qie Ranzhe''s connection to Qie Xieling he would have believed it. He especially forbade Qie Xieling to stay in Zhao Zhi''s room but he was naive enough to trust his son. Actually no, he was naive enough to trust Machu because he instructed him to watch Qie Xieling but as it turned out he ran off elsewhere and let the rabbit run into the wolf''s den of its own volition.


    In Machu''s defence, Qie Ranzhe didn''t specifically instruct him to be wary of Zhao Zhi so when he saw Qie Xieling hanging out with him, he didn''t see the need to keep an eye on this troublesome kid. Instead, he ran off to chase some skirt from a small sect. Surely, even sidekicks deserve love too, for instance, batman''s sidekick, Robin had a little fling. No wait, that''s wrong. Robin had several love interests. Tsk, how frivolous.


    So for a gorgeous skirt, Machu shoved adult sitting duties to Zhao Zhi. What could go wrong, right?


    Qie Ranzhe vowed to settle scores with him after dragging his son out of Zhao Zhi''s room. "Xieling, I know it''s you. Now open the door if you know what''s good for you," replied Qie Ranzhe in a terrifying dad voice bute on this was Qie Xieling.


    "It''s not him. Sect leader Qie you are wrong," he said after readjusting his voice once more giving Wen Qinxi goosebumps.


    "Stop that," reprimanded Wen Qinxi as he opened the door. He decided to bite the bullet and face the helicopter dad head-on.


    "Shixiong..... damn it. It was working," eximed Qie Xieling feeling like he indeed had a pig teammate.


    "Really?... Yeah sure, you keep thinking that," said Wen Qinxi as he walked back to where he was standing before.


    Qie Ranzhe strode in with his hands behind his back exuding an imposing aura. "Let''s go," he said to Qie Xieling in an imperative tone leaving no room for discussion. Qie Xieling knew what this tone meant but he was also shameless so he said,


    "No, I want to stay with Shixiong. He''s helping me cultivate." Wen Qinxi stared at the yellow belly sticking so close to him with a look of surprise. What cultivation? Qie Xieling was like a preschooler lying to his parents that he was doing homework at his friend''s house when they spent the entire day frolicking at the mall.


    The funny thing was that while Qie Xieling was saying that he was hiding behind Zhao Zhi using him as a meat shield. The two looked at each othermunicating with their eyes. If they were to use their words this is how the conversation would look like.


    Wen Qinxi: Cultivation? Seriously?


    Qie Xieling: Would you rather tell him we were drinking and gambling?


    Wen Qinxi: Couldn''t you think of a better lie.


    Qie Xieling: Shixiong you better y along otherwise will both be punished.


    Wen Qinxi: "...."


    Wen Qinxi: Both of us?


    Qie Xieling: I will say it was your idea.


    Wen Qinxi:?


    Qie Xieling: Help me out this one-time Shixiong, please (kneeling and crying face)


    Wen Qinxi put on a stiff smile and turned to look at Qie Ranzhe who was watching their interaction with great interest. "Yes, we were meditating to, um.... improve his, um.... his um.....,"


    "My cultivation basis," interjected Qie Xieling attempting to save this sinking ship.


    Qie Ranzhe sauntered over to Qie Xieling''s bed and sat down while nodding his head. "Then carry on. I can wait."


    Qie Xieling, ''Damn it!''


    Wen Qinxi, ''Shit!''

 Chapter 409: Fifth World: Qie Ranzhes Flawed Logic

    Chapter 409: Fifth World: Qie Ranzhe''s wed Logic


    The two cursed internally at the same time. Talk about shooting oneself in the foot. So the two people were forced to carry on with a non-existent tutoring session. For the bored nerd, this was torture. He actually dozed off thirty minutes in while Qie Xieling was cultivating.


    By the time Qie Xieling opened his eyes, his Shixiong was long gone dozing off with no care in the world. No one would me him especially after fighting it out with a vicious ghost plus a ruthless opponent dressed like a character from the assassin''s creed.


    Qie Xieling turned to look at his father who was staring at Zhao Zhi like he was watching an interesting show. "Shixiong... Shixiong.... wake up and get into bed," said Qie Xieling trying to wake up Zhao Zhi who was sitting on the floor sleeping with his head leaning against the wall. But as soon as he poked him with his finger, Zhao Zhi''s head drooped to the side that is before his entire body slid down to the floor.


    Qie Xieling tried to lift his Shixiong but the man was like a ton of bricks, unmovable. It made him wonder where all that weight wasing from when the guy was skinny.


    Unable to bear watching this disastrous scene anymore, Qie Ranzhe stood up and walked over with a nk expression. He picked up Zhao Zhi in one fell swoop before cing him on the bed. Zhao Zhi shuffled like a puppy looking for afortable spot before falling back into a deep sleep.


    While Qie Xieling struggled to get Zhao Zhi''s boots off, Qie Ranzhe was busy eyeing those flushed cheeks that looked tantalizing. It was probably from all that drinking earlier. In fact, he knew these two weren''t cultivating before but he chose not to expose them.


    Like a K9 unit sniffer dog, he could sniff contraband a mile away so he knew they were drinking and possibly gambling based on the suspicious rectangr box under the wooden cupboard.


    He wanted to see what kind of lie they would spin out and nned to expose themter but who would have thought the little minx would fall asleep. An inexplicable urge rose in his heart eyeing those cheeks. He wanted to pinch them till the person woke up but he found that he couldn''t do it in front of his son.


    "Fa-father.... he-help me," said Qie Xieling still fighting with the same boot with beads of sweat forming on his forehead.


    Qie Ranzhe flung his sleeve before saying, "Not my problem," while walking back to sit on Qie Xieling''s bed.


    Qie Xieling sighed as he carried on fighting the good fight. It was indeed a hard battle as it took him a full ten minutes to seed. Let''s not me young master Qie because it was his first time going through such hardbour.


    He staggered over to his father like a drama king while expressing his grievances. Qie Ranzhe silently watched him act out his y with a cold gaze. The boy was acting like he had suffered much hardship while wiping non-existent sweat. "You must have got that from your mother," mumbled Qie Ranzhe before standing up to leave.


    "Wait, wait...how about I tell you a secret," said Qie Xieling pulling his father''s sleeve with a serious look on his face.


    Qie Ranzhe stared at him with some suspicion but Qie Xieling didn''t back down saying, "It''s important."


    His father gave him a ''you better not be wasting my time'' look before sitting back down. Qie Xieling beckoned with his hands for his father toe closer. Qie Ranzhe''s brow creased as he leaned over. What was so special that he had to whisper it into his ear.


    Qie Ranzhe''s expression changed slightly when he heard his son''s words but before he could scold him for wasting his time, Qie Xieling suddenly said, "I will prove it. If I am right you should let me sleep here."


    Certain Qie Xieling was going to lose, Qie Ranzhe said, "If you lose then you aren''t allowed to sleep in the same room with him ever again." Qie Xieling felt a sting in his heart hearing this. He especially enjoyed hanging around Zhao Zhi and if it were up to him he would stick to him as toddlers stick to their mothers.


    Of course, he would be much more reasonable than a toddler and let him have bathroom breaks and privacy while bathing but the rest of his time would be non-negotiable.


    But he was confident that he got it right so he chose to gamble. "Okay, watch...," said Qie Xieling tiptoeing over to Zhao Zhi. He squatted at the head of the bed and called out, "Shixiong.... Shixiong.... are you asleep?" in a soft tone.


    Wen Qinxi was in such a deep sleep that he didn''t realise his secrets were about to be spilt to the world. This ought to teach him never to fall asleep first in the presence of these people as sleepover regtions state ''never be the first one to sleep at a sleepover otherwise you will wake up with a drawing of a penis on your forehead drawn with a permanent marker''.


    "En," he mumbled in a muffled voice.


    "Shixiong.... do you like Nu Shen?" he asked leaning closer to his ear. Qie Xieling pursed his lips when he didn''t get any response.


    He was about to ask another question when Zhao Zhi suddenly pulled him over to the bed and said, "Ran-ge stop making tro-trouble... You know I love you."


    Qie Ranzhe, "....."


    Qie Xieling, "Help me." The poor kid was strangled by this octopus with no escape route. Well, it serves him right for provoking a sleeping Wen Qinxi. There was no way of freeing himself without external help. But his saviour was thunderstruck standing there like a frozen human popsicle.


    Qie Ranzhe was certain Qie Xieling would lose which is why he dared to gamble. Who would have known the brat had hit the nail on the head.


    "Fa-father..... help me. He''s too strong,"ined Qie Xieling feeling like the biggest loser here. He should have asked for more than just a sleepover. Too bad it was alreadyte.


    Qie Ranzhe helped his son get out of Zhao Zhi''s arms but didn''t utter a single word as his son jumped into his bed. "Good night," said Qie Xieling but Qie Ranzhe didn''t show any signs of leaving, "aren''t you going to your room?"


    Qie Xieling soon regretted asking this question because of what happened next. "Move over," said Qie Ranzhe while taking off his outer robe. He was going to sleep over as well but the problem was that the space was so tiny.


    "Ah, I have terrible sleeping habits.... have you forgotten?" said Qie Xieling but the next second he saw his father ce a quilt and pillow on the floor before pointing at it.


    The implication was obvious but Qie Xieling wouldn''t go down quietly. "Why do you have to sleep here anyway? Now I have to sleep on the floor."


    "I need to be here when Zhao Zhi wakes up so I can let him down easy. Now sleep," said Qie Ranzhe lying on the bed.


    ''Father your logic is wed,'' thought Qie Xieling but he didn''t dare say it aloud. The man could have slept in his own room and speak to Zhao Zhi during breakfast but instead, he chose to kick his son off the bed so he can wait for his pursuer to wake up.


    Well, Qie Xieling only slept on the floor for half the night. One can only guess whose bed he sleepwalked to.

 Chapter 410: Fifth World: One Man For Himself

    Chapter 410: Fifth World: One Man For Himself


    The splendid sun rays shone through the curtains onto Qie Ranzhe''s handsome face making his longshes flutter. The enchanting pheonix eyes opened slowly looking straight up at the ceiling dazedly.


    His foggy mind finally cleared recalling where he was. Despite having slept all night, he wasn''t the least well-rested. This is because he had one of those realistic dreams again.


    These dreams were the source of his insomnia for years but after it happened a couple of times he got used to it. He would simply fall asleep and relive that horrible experience in the realm. Once he falls into this kind of dream he would be trapped within and can only relive it till the end.


    But today it was different. He didn''t dream about the painful memories of watching his family members die. Instead, he dreamt of being dragged underwater. The dream was murky but the emotions he felt at that time were real.


    An emotional cocktailprising of fear, anxiety and loss ran rampant within him as he was dragged to the deepest depths of argeke. He wanted to struggle and swim back to the surface but his body was like a corpse unable to move.


    This fuzzy scene recurred several times till he woke up. Qie Ranzhe rubbed at his half-lidded eyes as the sound of people cleaning up in the streets grew louder. Qie Ranzhe sat up straight and put on his boots and outer robe before walking towards the window to see what was happening outside.


    Half of the lively town had been reduced to rubble during the attack but at least they were able to save arge poption of its citizens with only a few reported deaths. Qie Ranzhe closed the curtain and turned around to wake up Qie Xieling.


    It was about time they get back to Qie Sect since their business here was concluded. As soon as heid his eyes on the quilt his expression turned grave. With a scowl, he scanned the room and noticed the bulge in the other bed had clearly increased in size. It became obvious where Qie Xieling was but how on earth he ended up there remained a mystery.


    Locked on his target like a long-range missile, he strode over and took off the quilt. Qie Xieling was curled up like a ball beside Zhao Zhi with a smirk on his face clearly having a lovely dream. Zhao Zhi on the other hand had a third of his body off the bed looking like he could fall off at any moment.


    The reason for this was obvious. Qie Xieling had greedily hogged the entire space almost kicking Zhao Zhi off the bed. Qie Ranzhe shook his head recalling how Qie Xieling used to kick him when he was four trying to monopolize the bed in his sleep. Yet when he was awake he would cry that he wanted to sleep over.


    ''Definitely got that habit from his mother,'' he thought pushing the me to the unknown party. He was about to wake them both up but it seemed he wasn''t needed because Qie Xieling suddenly made a move.


    He must have dreamt himself ying ball or something because he kicked Zhao Zhi in his sleep sessfully pushing the unfortunate victim right off the bed. With a loud thud, Zhao Zhi crashed to the floor forcing Qie Ranzhe to take a step back.


    "Fuck!" swore the dazed Zhao Zhi. It seemed like he hadn''t fully awoken yet grimacing in pain. Qie Ranzhe pressed his lips together suppressing hisughter but his urge tough vanished in the next second when he was used of a crime he didn''tmit.


    "Ranzhe! You dumbfuck.... why did you kick me off the bed? ..... Fuck!" yelled Wen Qinxi still half asleep. His hazy mind was still stuck in the fourth world making him blurt out nonsense. In his foggy state of mind, he was thinking Qie Ranzhe was usually well behaved in bed. Besides harassing him to start something Qie Ranzhe would never kick him off the bed. How nice of him. He was selling himself out without earning a single penny.


    Wen Qinxi crawled back into bed while squinting his teary eyes when he noticed a figure standing by the bed with his arms crossed. Wen Qinxi''s brow creased staring intently at Qie Ranzhe but after that, he was hit by a sudden realisation. Vowing to never share a room with these two, he hurriedly stood up straight while trying to mitigate the situation.


    "Haha... Sect leader Qie, good morning. I was just dreaming so don''t take it to heart," he said but Qie Ranzhe''s expression remained unchanged.


    "Do you constantly dream about me?" he asked with a sullen expression that sent shivers down Wen Qinxi''s spine.


    ''Too fuckin terrifying,'' he thought while trying to fumblea response but Qie Ranzhe didn''t wait for him to lie. He simply picked up the sleeping Qie Xieling on his shoulder like a sack of potatoes and carried him out of the room.


    The sudden movements were enough to wake up Qie Xieling and one can only imagine his reaction when he woke up being carried out by his father. "Ah!..... Shixiong, save me!" he said but judging from Zhao Zhi''s expression, he was on his own.


    Wen Qinxi was seriously contemting whether he was going to getid in this world as he ate his breakfast. The Zhao Sect disciples sitting around him were happily chatting away but he was staring into space thinking through the problem like a physicist trying to figure out how to get people on Mars. So troublesome.


    He waspletely lost in a sea of thoughts that he didn''t notice Qie Ranzhe and Qie Xieling show up at his table. The Zhao sect disciples scattered in haste making way for the Qie sect leader. None of them were willing to offend this great buddha so they scurried away with their bowls selling out their senior free of charge.


    The two silently watched him looking dazed for a minute that is before Qie Ranzhe brazenly said, "It''s best you give up."


    Wen Qinxi returned to earth and stared at him with a nk look. "Huh?" he asked seeming perplexed. Give up? Give up on what exactly?


    Qie Ranzhe poured out some tea that had just been delivered by a waiter and passed the cup to Qie Xieling before emphasizing his point. "It''s never going to happen so I highly suggest you give up."


    Wen Qinxi was truly lost as lost as someone in the Gobi desert. He looked at Qie Xieling with a questioning look but the kid pressed his lips in a thin line before calmly taking a sip of his tea like he knew nothing. He had his own problems to worry about especially after being scolded to high heaven. Just as the saying goes, one man for himself, god for us all.


    Seeing that Zhao Zhi was still confused he said, "You said you love mest night... I know I am charming but don''t get any ideas especially now that you agreed toe to the Qie sect with m-." The sect leader made a full deration in one breath but he didn''t get to finish his speech because Zhao Zhi suddenly snickered.


    Qie Ranzhe, "...."


    "Pfft... I am sorry, hahahahahahahaha..... whoo you made my fuckin day. Hahahahaha.... sect leader Qie has nothing to worry about," said Wen Qinxi before standing up to leave stillughing himself to tears. He took two steps forward before looking back again and said, "Pfft, that was fuckin funny."

 Chapter 411: Fifth World: Consequences Of Falling Asleep First

    Chapter 411: Fifth World: Consequences Of Falling Asleep First


    As soon as he turned to walk awaypletely Wen Qinxi''s face fell and went straight to knock on Jolie''s door like a maniac. ''Shit, Jolie. What the fuck did I dost night?... I didn''t even drink that much,'' he said feeling distressed.


    ''Oh, nothing much. You just dered your love for him in your sleep. It was incredibly entertaining by the way,'' said the system recalling Qie Ranzhe''s expression that looked like a cat that just had its tail stepped on.


    Wen Qinxi walked out of the inn narrowly dodging Nu Shen who was headed in his direction. He heaved a sigh when he realised she didn''t see him. ''Will you stop looking like you are enjoying this so much,'' he said feeling depressed. Theughter earlier was merely a cover for his embarrassment. If he didn''tugh back then he would have further sold himself out and who knows what kind of ruthless rejection would be sent his way?


    ''Actually, this is not the first time it has happened. You really need to duct tape your mouth when you are sharing a room with others,'' it said snickering under its breath. It wouldn''t want to further infuriate this overlord and get sentenced to death. It had already used up all its nine lives but it couldn''t help it.


    It was fun screwing over Wen Qinxi especially when it had nothing else to do. Like an addict going through withdrawal, it swallowed down various taunts with great difficulty.


    ''What? When?'' asked Wen Qinxi pausing in his tracks. He really didn''t know what the system was yammering on about. How he could know? Just like the previous night, he fell asleep first in the fourth world and guess what? Qie Ranzhe interrogated him in his sleep making him show his hand earlier than expected. The only difference is that this time it was Qie Xieling who did it and he straight out confessed his feelings.


    ''Can I ask you something?..... Are you like this in the real world? Because if you are then only god knows how manypany secrets woulde out of your mouth while sleeping. Wait, did you tell anyone about me? You know I am a highly ssified AI in GameX, right? Hello.... hello. Damn it, is he a fuckin reincarnation of Houdini or something?'' it said when it realised it had been muted once more.


    While Wen Qinxi was working through his sleep talking issues, Qie Ranzhe and Qie Xieling had an unexpected visitor. Who else other than Nu Shen would dare approach them? The only difference was that this time she was reserved standing a great distance away from the pair like she had a restraining order hanging over her head.


    "Se-sect leader Qie, have you seen Zhao Zhi? I have been looking for him for a while now," she said hesitating. It seemed Qie Ranzhe''s previous threat was highly effective that she dared not talk nonsense.


    Qie Ranzhe carried on eating his breakfast treating her like air. This was understandable but she couldn''t easily ept it. She bit her lower lip looking dejectedly at the pair but the two remained unmoved. It was Qie Xieling who put up a friendly facade and beckoned her to sit on the opposite side of the table before ruthlessly stomping on the opponent. "Well, I don''t know where he went but here is the thing," he said before leaning in closer with his elbows lying t on the table, "It''s best you give up."


    In his father''s exact words he carried on letting her down easy. "Because it''s never going to happen so I highly suggest you give up," he said with a cunning smile. Now that he knew his Shixiong had a thing for his father and that he would be moving with them to the Qie sect Qie Xieling felt like it was his responsibility to eliminatepetition. Besides, he was doing her a favour otherwise she will continue building castles in the air.


    Qie Ranzhe''s cup that was about to touch his lips paused for a split second before he resumed his action. He didn''t immediately stop his busybody son wanting to see where this was headed so he let him continue.


    Nu Shen was angered by his words which was evident in her reaction. She angrily pointed at Qie Xieling while reprimanding him. "You brat, what do you know? He was clearly jealous the other day. Stop talking rubbish." Recalling how Zhao Zhi stormed off that day how could she believe a wastrel''s words? "Stop involving yourself in adult business and focus on cultivating."


    Qie Xieling wasn''t angered by her words. In fact, he had been scolded so many times by his father that he had grown numb to it. With a smug all over his face, he said, "Yes, he was most definitely jealous but he wasn''t jealous over you. That''s because the person he likes is.... ouch! Aiyo... ah, that freakin hurts." Those cries were a result of being pinched by his father.


    Yeah sure, Qie Ranzhe wanted to get rid of this annoying girl but his son''s method was a little extreme. If he knew Qie Xieling would take things this far, he would have stopped him from the very beginning.


    "Miss Nu, I reckon you still remember our conversation from before. If so then what gave you the courage to walk up to me? Your business with Zhao Zhi has nothing to do with us so show yourself out," said Qie Ranzhe surrounded by a bone-chilling pressure that scared Nu Shen to death.


    "I, I, I am sorry," she said before running off like her skirt was on fire. She also didn''t want toe to him, okay. It''s just that her shixiong was avoiding her like she had a venereal disease or something. Even the Zhao sect disciples weren''t divulging any details. This left her with no choice but to jump straight to the tiger. Unfortunately one can''t jump straight to the top of the food chain unless they want to get eaten.


    As soon as Nu Shen ran for dear life, Qie Ranzhe eyed Qie Xieling in his peripheral view and said, "Are you done acting?"


    Qie Xieling was still lying on the cushion wailing like he had been beaten while covering the spot he had been pinched. "Such a drama king," said Qie Ranzhe before standing up to leave him behind.


    Sensing that his father was going to leave, Qie Xieling opened his eye before standing up in haste.


    His father had ordered him to stay by his side at a maximum distance of two feet. If he so much asgged behind a distance above that he would be grounded in his room for an entire month without his interspatial bag. This meant he couldn''t use talismans to escape either.


    Given the choice, he would rather follow his father everywhere like a puppy. This is why he ran after Qie Ranzhe. "How am I supposed to keep up with you when you leave without warning?" asked Qie Xieling walking next to his father.


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t say anything. Instead, he gently smacked Qie Xieling upside his head before cing his hands behind his back like an old wise leader.


    "Ouch... I am definitely going to turn stupid if you keep hitting me," mumbled Qie Xieling rubbingthe back of his head.


    "Why bother when you already are stupid?" replied Qie Ranzhe as a rare smile quirked upon his gorgeous face.


    Seeing this Qie Xieling was shocked stammering, "Di-did you just make a joke? Ha!.... make another one... Ouch, okay that one wasn''t funny." The ouch came after being smacked again but he didn''t care because his stick in the mud of a father seemed a tad bit rxed.


    Qie Xieling, ''I wonder who''s responsible for that?''

 Chapter 412: Fifth World: Eyebrowless Lin Lin

    Chapter 412: Fifth World: Eyebrowless Lin Lin


    If there is one thing a person must experience once in their lifetime it would be going on a road trip with family. If executed well it would bringsting memories and priceless joy but of course, if it''s not nned well the result of it will be bald spots and wrinkles for the parents as Wen Qinxi discovered.


    Normally it would take them a day to reach the Qie sect if they rode their swords but the problem was Qie Xieling who was terrified of heights. Yeah sure, they could have used the teleportation talisman but because Qie Ranzhe couldn''t leave his group of disciples unsupervised they were forced to take the slow route. He might be rich but he''s not rich enough to give twenty-plus disciples teleportation talismans.


    So at a snail''s pace, a caravan of Qie sect disciples tracked across thend back to their peak. It was rtively peaceful outside but there was a storm brewing inside the carriage, the kind of storm that would tten nes and cities.


    The space was rtively big but Qie Xieling didn''t like being confined in a small space for a long time. He would grow restless from time to time and his source of entertainment would obviously be Zhao Zhi because he wouldn''t dare provoke his father.


    He was already on a short leash so why would he willingly shorten the leash further by poking the bear. Fortunately for him, Zhao Zhi was extremely good-tempered which meant he went all out like a ten-year-old testing the limits.


    Wen Qinxi''s torment began with, "Shixiong can I braid your hair" to "Shixiong can I take a look at your interspatial ring". These requests weren''t excessive that is if it was anyone other than Qie Xieling who had asked. A simple braid turned disastrous with his hair looking like a tangled mess that needed oil to unravel.


    When this happened, Wen Qinxi didn''t get as angry simply vowing to never let Qie Xieling anywhere near his hair but things got worse and worse that Qie Ranzhe couldn''t help but silently sympathize. When Qie Xieling got hold of his interspatial ring things got a whole lot worse.


    They say curiosity killed the cat but this cat called Qie Xieling seemed to have more than nine lives. He touched what he wasn''t supposed to and didn''t touch what he could touch. He put his hands on everything Zhao Zhi told him not to touch blowing up half of the carriage with his grabby hands.


    As to why it was half? It was because Qie Ranzhe saw thising and ced a barrier around himself. He didn''t have a problem with the two getting into all sorts of shenanigans as long as they didn''t screw with his space.


    Qie Ranzhe was fully aware of Qie Xieling''s experimental phase where he mixed things as though doing bucket chemistry and foresaw thising. This is why he hurriedly protected himself.


    Wen Qinxi who didn''t see thising ran out of the carriage coughing with his hair smoking. Followed by Qie Xieling who looked like he had lost a fight with a gas griller. "You! *cough, *cough..... Xieling didn''t I tell you not add that elixir to the squirting cucumber... *cough *cough... but what did you do?" said Wen Qinxi coughing like a patient with tuberculosis.


    Qie Xieling wasn''t fairing well either. He wasn''t only coughing but his eyebrows were basically gone making him look like Voldemort with a fuzzy head of hair. Wen Qinxi wanted to reprimand him further but when he raised his head and saw this scene he suddenly softened. The boy didn''t have eyebrows anymore which looked miserable.


    Sensing he hadn''t noticed yet, Wen Qinxiforted him to let him know he would draw them on till they grew out but Qie Ranzhe and Machu weren''t aspassionate. For Qie Xieling''s self-esteem, he didn''tugh out loud but Machu literally rolled on the groundughing. Even the serious-looking disciples couldn''t hold back snickering while staring into the distance.


    "Wait? Why are you allughing? Draw what on?" asked the confused Qie Xieling looking like Edward Scissorhands minus the eyebrows.


    Wen Qinxi red at Qie Ranzhe who was struggling with his acting skills. It turned out Wen Qinxi shouldn''t have done that because that re was thest straw for the sect leader who was trying to save his son some face.


    The stern terrifying sect leader with facial paralysis for the better part of the day wasughing. Not the taunting haughtyughter but joyous unrestraintughter that could entrance anyone. Such a rare sight was witnessed by everyone causing them to freeze in ce. Even Machu stoppedughing watching Qie Ranzhe with great interest.


    All of them were fascinated apart from Wen Qinxi who of course, had witnessed this type ofughter multiple times in four worlds. It didn''t surprise him much but he did praise him silently in his heart. An unrestrained Qie Ranzhe was incredibly handsome.


    Sensing everyone''s gaze, Qie Ranzhe dialled it down and walked back into the carriage where he resumed reading scrolls while snickering.


    This was only day one of the journey back to the Qie sect which meant Wen Qinxi had to survive seven days of this. After his brows were drawn back on, Qie Xieling was back to his old self screwing with Zhao Zhi at any given opportunity.


    By the time they reached the Qie sect, Wen Qinxi''s hairline seemed to have receded a little. Who said having kids was all fun and games? Even when they are legally adults they are still troublesome.


    To punish him Wen Qinxi decided to use a roundabout way disguised as a game known as red hands. This game is meant for children but this novice dad used it to punish his teenage son. The game is yed by one yer extending their hands forward at arm''s length with their palms facing down.


    The second yer''s hands are also ced at arm''s length with the palms facing up. The objective of the game is for the second yer to p the back of the first yer''s hands before they pull them away.


    In Qie Xieling''s eyes, the game seemed innocent enough but he changed his mind when his palms were as red as tomatoes after Zhao Zhi pped him a couple of times. The sad thing was that when it was his turn to p Zhao Zhi he couldn''tnd a single hit making him sulk and pout the rest of the journey.


    It''s safe to say Zhao Zhi had sent his point across and he was incredibly satisfied. Naughty children need to be punished not by harsh methods but by creative means. Qie Ranzhe already discerned what Zhao Zhi was doing but he didn''t say anything. Mostly because this punishment was long overdue for his eyebrowless son.


    It seemed the troubles during the journey were all but forgotten as soon as Wen Qinxi reached the beautiful Qie sect. This replica of paradise was what made other sects so envious that they nted spies in the Qie sect to sow discord in the newborn sect and take over the spoils of civil war.

 Chapter 413: Fifth World: Crazy Aunty

    Chapter 413: Fifth World: Crazy Aunty


    If it was any other young cultivator their n would have seeded but this was Qie Ranzhe for heaven sake. A rigid visionary with a tightlipped group of disciples surrounding him. It was fairly easy for him to weed out the spies and punish the brazen sects who dared trump over him.


    This earned him a reputation as the Unfathomable Lord throughout the cultivation world.


    Thend Qie sect was on was once an unattainablend with a vast poption of vicious spiritual beasts. It was unknown how Qie Ranzhe managed to chase off these high-level beasts and conquer lush greennds with endless streams of clear bluekes brimming with spiritual energy.


    Rumour had it that on this fertile ground, cultivators gained a big advantage by drawing spiritual energy from nature replenishing stamina, purifying the Qi and strengthening meridians.


    The Qie sect was truly a sight to behold for this indoor bred nerd. This experience had him wanting to travel once he bes a millionaire to see the world. The only family trip he ever took outside the city was with his mother to the countryside which was a rare urrence in itself since his father''s parents were deceased. His mother''s parents were city folk that lived two streets away from their apartment so there was not much travelling there.


    Wen Qinxi dazedly admired the Qie sect that he didn''t notice a group of people watching him with great interest. In the training arena stood a man and a woman who had been fighting it out in a one vs one match. Their attention was immediately drawn to their sect leader but it didn''t linger for long when they saw Zhao Zhi who was behaving like a tourist. The only thing missing was a camera and a big sun hat.


    The girl in the fiery red dress spoke first as she ced her scimitar on her shoulder. "Who''s the dandy?" she asked while elbowing the man standing beside her.


    The man she elbowed was a 1.9 meter tall brawny giant with a gruesome scar running down from his cheek to his neck disappearing under the clothes. Such a wound must have been from a nasty injury to leave him with a terrifying long scar. His name was Shao Lan a retired mercenary for the crown.


    He was betrayed by the former emperor of the mortal folk because the man feared Shao Lan would turn around and seize his throne. This is where he got that nasty scar and thrown over the cliff to die but it was Qie Ranzhe who saved him.


    "Maybe he is your new saozi.... we have too many of those to go around," said Shao Lan as he jumped off the tform of the arena.


    The girl in the red dress followed himnding right in front of their prestigious sect leader. With a sweet smile, she cupped her hands in salute but her inquisitive gaze was on the handsome cutie who seemed lost.


    "Ah! Auntie.... you are going to give me a fucking heart attack," said Qie Xieling who didn''t see thising.


    Dai Yu seemed pleased with herself as she circled behind Zhao Zhi where Qie Xieling was currently taking refuge. She smiled with a wide grin and said, "Is this why you escaped confinement? To pick a stray?.... A rather handsome stray at that. Can I keep him since our dearest sect leader has a lot of people in his hands?"


    Qie Xieling ced his hands on Zhao Zhi''s shoulders and said, "I found him so why should I give him to you?" before pulling further away from the red vixen.


    "Ah uh, no need to fight. This Shixiong is our guest not for you to y with," said Machu trying to break apart the two adults fighting over a person like toddlers fighting over a toy. Only in this case, Qie Xieling would most likely end in tears because Dai Yu was a little heavy-handed when it came to fighting.


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t say anything walking alongside Shao Lan who was updating him on the current events of the sect. Qie Ranzhe was half-listening eyeing the four people behind him through his peripheral view. He wasn''t especially happy when Dai Yu asked for Zhao Zhi like he was merchandise from a carnival but if he were to ask himself why he wasn''t exactly happy he wouldn''t know the answer.


    Qie Ranzhe was so distracted that he didn''t notice Shao Lan calling him. It was only after calling out his name for the nth time did Qie Ranzhe respond and he seemed displeased about being disturbed.


    "Ran-ge, who is he?" tantly asked Shao Lan after seeing his leader so distracted. He wasn''t the type to pry but seeing how much this person affected his sect leader, he just had to ask.


    Qie Ranzhe stopped staring and said, "Important.... someone very important," before riding ck cmity to his Pavillion atop the tallest peak.


    Shao Lan, "...."


    While Shao Lan was making guesses over Zhao Zhi''s identity, Wen Qinxi was caught in the middle of a turf war and the turf was himself. Dai Yu was never one to shy away from fighting with Qie Xieling mainly because she was his cousin''s child.


    That''s right, Dai Yu was Qie Ranzhe''s cousin from his mother''s side who joined his sect after offending her grandmother by tying her to a tree after she tried to marry her off as a concubine to an old man. Ever since she joined the Qie sect she took her role as an auntie seriously by teasing her nephew at every turn.


    This situation was such an example of what Qie Xieling endured day in day out. "Aiya..... I see. So you go around bringing beauties to your father but never bring me a handsome man not even once. And when you do bring a handsome man you forbid me fromying a finger on him? Am I still your aunt?" she said with her hand on her hip looking like ady from the fish market.


    "What aunt?" said Qie Xieling while wrapping his arms on Zhao Zhi''s shoulders in a protective manner, "when you look about the same age as me."


    Qie Xieling managed to strike thisdy''s soft spot because her arrogance melted in an instant under such ttery. "Oh, auntie taught you well.... you know exactly what to say to appease a woman," she said pinching Qie Xieling''s cheek that is until she noticed something off.


    Out of the blue, she licked her thumb and rubbed at Qie Xieling''s eyebrow with a puzzled expression. "What the... Shit, Xieling what happened to your eyebrow? Come here.... hey,e here let aunt see!" she said with thest part said yelling as she chased after him.


    Qie Xieling was running off in shame while covering his eyebrow that was now smudged. Lesson well learnt, he would never screw around with Zhao Zhi''s stuff.


    Wen Qinxi watched the hare run after the tortoise with great interest. He could only imagine how much his poor son was going to be taunted once that woman caught up with him. He shook his head while silently lighting a candle for his dearest Lin Lin.

 Chapter 414: Fifth World: Sect Leaders Harem

    Chapter 414: Fifth World: Sect Leader''s Harem


    The novelty of the Qie sect eventually wore off reced by something more irritating and that is a horde of Qie Ranzhe''s harem members. Tall, short, pretty, beautiful, you name it, they were all there. They were all doting on the sect leader eager to serve him making Wen Qinxi''s heart twist excruciatingly.


    It was "Sect leader, here are some seedless grapes please try them. I peeled the skin off myself" or "Sect leader why try grapes when you can have some wine. I especially brewed it for you", "Sect leader this sect leader that."


    Wen Qinxi''s head almost exploded with rage watching such a scene. He wanted to walk over there and drag each of those women by their hair and kick them out of the sect followed by their luggage. He was jealous, not inhumane so he wouldn''t throw them out penniless.


    This sight made the food he was eating tasteless or rather sour which made him refrain from eating altogether with a ck expression. His aura was so dark and resentful that Qie Ranzhe felt a malicious intent building up nearby but when he looked up to find out where it was emanating from he couldn''t pinpoint the culprit.


    At that time Wen Qinxi had his head lowered with his cold gaze on his cup of wine looking like it had offended him in some way. It was Qie Xieling who noticed his Shixiong''s damp mood after managing to get away from his aunt who seemed to live only to torment him.


    "Shixiong," he called out cing his hand on Zhao Zhi''s shoulder before sitting down next to him. When Zhao Zhi raised his head to look at Qie Xieling, the boy almost fell over in bewilderment.


    "Shixiong, why are you crying?" he asked staring at Zhao Zhi''s reddened eyes. Poor Wen Qinxi who had been misunderstood stared at his son ckjawed. He truthfully had drunk too much making his eyes misty and red but it was mistaken for crying. Even when Zhao Huangzhi was dating Qie Ranzhe in the third world he didn''t cry. Angry, yes but he didn''t shed a tear.


    Wen Qinxi gently flicked Qie Xieling''s forehead with a forced smile. "Ouch... Shixiong!"ined Qie Xieling while covering his forehead making sure to be careful not to smudge his drawn on eyebrows that Zhao Zhi fixed for him a couple of hours ago.


    "Such a cry baby," said Wen Qinxi before taking a sip of his wine, "I just drank a little too much."


    Qie Xieling stopped rubbing his forehead and eyed the half-empty cup with gluttonous eyes. He wanted a sip but he knew his Shixiong wouldn''t let him. Well, at least not in front of Qie Ranzhe so he decided to distract Zhao Zhi and rob him.


    "Shixiong, will your junior disciples be okay going back alone?" he asked with his elbow on the table and his hand propping up his head.


    Wen Qinxi bit his lower lip thinking about how those kids'' faces fell when he told them to get back to the sect alone. He didn''t understand why they had to be that dissatisfied with his decision. It''s not like they needed to be babysat or something as long as they stick to the route back to the Zhao sect.


    One of them even embraced him in tears which was both awkward and weird. ording to the game files, Zhao Zhi wasn''t close to any of them. To be exact, Zhao Zhi wasn''t close to anyone in the Zhao sect. He usually kept to himself.


    What Wen Qinxi didn''t know was that the zealous disciple was collecting samples for the Zhao sect leader for pill refinement. This wasn''t the only time this disciple did such things. He also confiscated anything used by Zhao Zhi. Be it utensils or quilt, he took everything as instructed by sect leader Zhao despite not understanding why. He wasn''t one to judge sect leader Zhao''s special hobbies.


    "They will be fine, they aren''t toddlers that need to be watched constantly," exined Wen Qinxi while picking up some food from the dishes in front of him. While he was doing this Qie Xieling stole the cup of wine and drank a sip before putting it back in ce in a hurry. He had also checked if his father was looking his way and found that the man had his head down seemingly lost in thought.


    A satisfied smile showed up on his face while wiping away the evidence on his lips with the back of his hand. "Oh, so won''t they miss you in the Zhao sect?" asked Qie Xieling looking so innocent you wouldn''t think he did anything wrong.


    "Nope," replied Wen Qinxi before eating a mouthful of rice while looking at Qie Xieling. At that moment, he was thinking at least he still had his son to keep himpany. Little did he know Qie Xieling was more interested in the red liquid shimmering under the candlelight. Qie Xieling was a typical teenager in that regard.


    The more you refuse him the more he wants it but if you give him what he wants willingly he would quickly lose interest. It was just that Qie Ranzhe''s parenting style wouldn''t let him yield so he could only punish Qie Xieling when he broke the rules. It seemed the sect leader wasn''t familiar with the term ''flogging a dead horse''.


    Qie Xieling managed to chat up Zhao Zhi sneaking in two sips without being found out. When he did get found out he spun it in such a way that demonstrated his superiority in terms of IQ. That is to say, Wen Qinxi didn''t see that oneing.


    This is how it went down. Wen Qinxi had just taken a glimpse of Qie Ranzhe at the corner of his eye and noticed some hussy massaging the man''s shoulders with vigour. This prompted Wen Qinxi to lift his cup in disdain but there was barely a mouthful left which made him eye the most usible culprit.


    The supposedly guilty party hurriedly shook his head and said, "Shixiong, I didn''t. You drank it all by yourself. I think Shixiong has had a little too much to drink.... thi-this is why he can''t remember."


    This exnation had Wen Qinxi looking down at his cup with pouted lips. Qie Xieling was right, he was a little tipsy and it seemed usible that he wouldn''t remember drinking this much. While he was scolding himself for drinking like a fish, Qie Xieling interrupted him just in case his Shixiong thinks through the past hour in great detail and realise he had been tricked.


    "Shixiong, I think you should retire early. You really drank too much," exined Qie Xieling while helping him up to his feet. Wen Qinxi was extremely obedient especially when his heart was crushed into pieces by that frivolous sect leader who always toyed with his feelings each world he enters.


    Qie Xieling left his Shixiong''s room after making sure he had fallen asleep blowing out the candles on his way out. The reason why he had to leave was that he was still under a short leash and had to return to his father otherwise the punishment would be extended.


    Wen Qinxi wasn''t actually sleeping. He was just closing his eyes reying the happy moments he shared with Qie Ranzhe in the previous worlds like a memory video with background music.


    That was all thanks to Jolie adding special effects but this only seeded in invoking Wen Qinxi''s emotions. He couldn''t help a tear streaming down from the corner of his eye as his mood dampened. "Shut it off," he said turning to his side with a sullen expression.

 Chapter 415: Fifth World: What To Do When Your Drunk Crush Deliver Themselves To Your Door?

    Chapter 415: Fifth World: What To Do When Your Drunk Crush Deliver Themselves To Your Door?


    The smart AI that couldn''t read the atmosphere turned it off and began to chatter incessantly. "Boss, I searched online for ten cures for jealousy and the results are... rather interesting," said the system trying to suck up to Wen Qinxi like a teacher''s pet.


    "What?" asked Wen Qinxi turning to lie on his back facing the ceiling. He was thinking that maybe the tips would be helpful so he can get some shut-eye but of course, what else can he expect from the inte. They were all long term cures but no short term cures.


    "Um... there is recognize you have a problem then hahaha..... trust them. That one isn''t really helpful, is it?" said the system trying to lighten up the mood.


    "Then, um.... okay this is a good one. It says to keep yourself busy and work on your self-esteem," continued the system but judging from Wen Qinxi''s reaction this didn''t seem helpful.


    "This is garbage," said Jolie shutting down the browser before making other suggestions, "How about hypnosis? I can hypnotize you to sleep."


    "Seriously? Are you a fuckin snake oil salesman?" said Wen Qinxi feeling annoyed.


    "Says the guy who is stuck in a game. If this scenario is usible then why not hypnosis?.... Boss, give me five minutes to learn then I wille back and try it on you," said Jolie feeling rather ecstatic like a mad scientist ready to experiment on a test subject.


    "Hell no, I am not going to be your fuckin guinea pig," he said but the system vanished without a word again, "Jolie, you better not fuckin try it on me. Do you hear m-?" Wen Qinxi didn''t get to finish scolding the system because there was a sudden knock on his door.


    Thinking it was Qie Xieling, he stood up and opened it but to his surprise, a tipsy Qie Ranzhe was leaning against the frame of his door. Wen Qinxi squinted his eyes in puzzlement and asked, "What are you doing here?"


    A sweet smile appeared on Qie Ranzhe''s face as he pointed in the direction of his room saying, "There is someone in my bed so, so I came to sleepover."


    Wen Qinxi fought off the urge to roll his eyes thinking, ''How can there not be someone on your bed when you have a dozen harem members.'' He pursed his lips and suggested, "You can go sleep with Qie Xieling."


    But his suggestion was met with a vigorous shake of the head. "No, no, Qie Xieling is... um how do I say this.... um," he said with a thoughtful look written all over his face.


    Wen Qinxi was tired of waiting so he finished his sentence for him. "A bed hog?"


    "Yes that," said Qie Ranzhe almost leaning in closer to Zhao Zhi disregarding personal space.


    Wen Qinxi had never seen Qie Ranzhe this wasted before. He would willingly take him in but he couldn''t trust himself not to do anything to the sect leader. His hands were itching to pull him in but he restrained himself by tucking his grabby hands under his armpits. "How about Machu or Shao Lan? You can sleepover at their ces. Why does it have to be me?" asked Wen Qinxi staring at those glossy full lips that were just begging for it.


    "I don''t like sharing with others but you..... we have already kissed and I didn''t dislike it so let me in," said Qie Ranzhe with his blushing cheeks tantalizing the sexually deprived nerd. Wen Qinxi didn''t immediately respond with two voices advising him on what to do.


    The first voice was that of an angelic version of Wen Qinxi telling him to give him the bed but go sleepover at Qie Xieling''s room. The other voice could only be the sinful version of Wen Qinxi telling him to take advantage and seduce the vulnerable sect leader.


    Angelic Wen Qinxi: That is immoral and highly hical. I can''t believe you suggested that.


    Sinful Wen Qinxi: Oh, excuse me Mr too goody two shoes. Speak for yourself. Just because you can''t get it up doesn''t mean you should ruin it for everyone.


    Angelic Wen Qinxi: Excuse me, who the fuck can''t get it up?.... Now see what you made me do? You made me curse...


    Sinful Wen Qinxi: Hahaha... I knew it such a fucking hypocrite.


    Angelic Wen Qinxi: Why you! I will kill you!


    The rest of it was sounds of fighting between the evil and righteous small version of Wen Qinxi with a cloud of puffy dust covering them just like in cartoons. The asional thud and bam could be heard. Wen Qinxi was probably drunk to imagine such a weird scenario.


    Qie Ranzhe''s brow furrowed thinking Zhao Zhi''s silence was him driving a hard bargain so he fumbled through his interspatial ring and took out the pendant. "I will give you this?" said Qie Ranzhe dangling the pendant in front of Zhao Zhi.


    Wen Qinxi immediately returned to earth and tried to grab the pendant but Qie Ranzhe moved his hand away in a swift motion with a pleased smile. "Do we have a deal?" asked Qie Ranzhe in a teasing tone.


    Wen Qinxi nod his head in agreement while secretly praying he could hold himself back otherwise he might eat this man clean. This obedient nod made Qie Ranzhe''s heart itch inexplicably. He staggered forward and ced the pendant on Zhao Zhi''s neck while saying, "Just be-because I gave this to you..... it, it doesn''t mean you can leave."


    He then proceeded to hook his arm around Zhao Zhi''s shoulders using him as a human crutch. "I will be trusting this Shidi to take care of me," he said with his lips almost brushing against Zhao Zhi''s ear. The hot breath and intoxicating smell of wine sent Wen Qinxi''s junior brother into overdrive but he had to pretend like nothing was wrong.


    "I am not a pervert, I am not a pervert, I am not a fuckin pervert" he chanted under his breath trying to brainwash himself but Qie Ranzhe made it extremely difficult.


    "Uh... little Shidi why is your g raised so high? Do you have a girl in here.... you sho-should have told me earlier then, then I would have kicked Qie Xieling out of his bed instead," said Qie Ranzhe before Wen Qinxi tossed him on the bed in annoyance.


    "Girl my ass. You throw yourself into the lion''s den and expect it not to bare its teeth... you be must fuckin joking," he muttered but Qie Ranzhe didn''t hear him.


    "Where is she? Come out little mei-mei. No judgment here," said Qie Ranzhe with his voice as loud as a bell. If Wen Qinxi didn''t stop him, Qie Ranzhe would attract the attention of the entire sect.


    Wen Qinxi covered his mouth and gestured for him to keep quiet with his index finger on his lips. "Shh, shh....," he said feeling like this night was going to be much harder than he initially thought.


    "Okay, okay, shh... I get it haha," chuckled Qie Ranzhe with his voice low.


    "And there is no girl, now be obedient and sleep," said Wen Qinxi taking off the man''s brocade boots. As soon as he finished, Qie Ranzhe sat up straight and began to undress till he was topless.


    "What the fuck are you doing?" asked Wen Qinxi feeling like he was about to lose his mind. How was he supposed to exercise restraint and not eat candy when it was unwrapped right in front of him.


    "Since there is no girl then, then I can take it off. Is it hot in here or it''s just me?" said Qie Ranzhe with his hands on his pants. It didn''t take a rocket scientist to figure out what this awful man was about to do.


    Wen Qinxi, "...."


    ''I am so fuckin dead.''

 Chapter 416: Fifth World: A Drunk Sect Leaders Escapades

    Chapter 416: Fifth World: A Drunk Sect Leader''s Escapades


    If Wen Qinxi knew he would be in this kind of situation earlier he would have wornyers andyers of pants to cover up his enthusiastic junior brother that couldn''t help but rise to attention at the slightest provocation.


    "You will seriously be the death of me," mumbled Wen Qinxi while tossing his quilt at the nudist who was adamant about taking off his pants.


    As the quilt struck him Qie Ranzhe smiled with his misty eyes shimmering under the candlelight. He picked up the quilt, ced it on the bed and said, "I want to take a bath," his tone sounding more like an order.


    "Why? Didn''t you just take a bath two hours ago?" asked Wen Qinxi with his line of sight unconsciously glimpsing at the highly defined v-line that had been exposed when the man tried to take off his pants earlier.


    His mouth ran dry like a well in the middle of the desert. How on earth was he supposed to survive the night?


    Qie Ranzhe loosened his ponytail unleashing his long silky hair like a top male model on a photo shoot. ''Okay, how is this not x-rated?'' he thought staring at the shirtless man with long strands of hair dangling on his shoulder and corbone. The only thing missing was some fake rain and this x-rated scene would be perfect for a top-notch AV.


    "I drank so, so I have to bath," he said with a charming smile that had Wen Qinxi unable to look any more. Wen Qinxi ced his palms on his hot cheeks trying to conceal the obvious pink shade.


    "Yeah, yeah, I know your OCD tendencies are acting up," said Wen Qinxi refusing to look at this temptation but he couldn''t control himself. As soon as he turned around to face Qie Ranzhe again the man had his back to him showing off his tight ass in full nudity.


    Wen Qinxi tried to cover his eyes like a timid virgin but he couldn''t help it peeking in-between his fingers. He wasn''t a saint neither was he a pervert so he would look but not look at the same time. In other words, he could be described as a lukewarm pervert.


    "What do you think you are doing?" he asked in a hoarse voice. At this moment he felt like if he didn''t jump Qie Ranzhe tonight then he deserves to be in the guinness world book of records as the world''s most self-restraint man. With that kind of endurance, he could easilymit to Buddhism and be a monk.


    "I sa-said I want to take a bath... haha why, why are you acting silly," said Qie Ranzhe half turning his head only to see Zhao Zhi covering his face in shame.


    "You''re the one whose fuckin acting silly.... shit, are you trying to fuckin kill me?" he muttered as he scurried over behind the folding screen to fill up the wooden tub with his ability to control water. Wen Qinxi quickly filled the tub and yelled, "You heat it up yourself!"


    By the time Qie Ranzhe reached the wooden tub, Wen Qinxi had already left using the other side. Wen Qinxi sat in the lotus position while doing breathing exercises to calm his tormented heart. He chanted mantras to cool down his blood.


    "Huh..... phoo, huh... phoo. I am not a pervert. Huh... phoo, inner peace," he inhaled and exhaled while motioning his hands with the movement of his diaphragm, "Inner peace."


    For a moment it seemed like it was working that is until, "Zhao Zhi! I ne-need help. My back."


    ''AAAAAHHHHHHH....,'' screamed Wen Qinxi internally while pulling out his hair. He decided to act deaf and ignore Qie Ranzhe but the man wasn''t easy to get rid of.


    "Are, are youing or not? Do you want me toe over there?"


    As much as Wen Qinxi wanted to pretend to have selective hearing he really wouldn''t be able to hold back if he sees the man nude again. Even breathing exercises won''t be able to hold back the lustful beast awakening within him.


    Wen Qinxi walked over in small hesitant steps. The room was already steamy from the hot bath. Qie Ranzhe was sitting in the wooden tub with the water concealing some key parts. Wen Qinxi gulped before saying, "Give me the bath sponge," while trying not to look straight at him.


    Qie Ranzhe saw this but in his drunken state, he didn''t know the terms ofmon etiquette. Common etiquette detects that in an embarrassing situation, it''s best not to talk about it. One would rather change the subject to ease the awkwardness but of course, Qie Ranzhe didn''t seem to think so.


    "Why is this Shidi not looking at me? Am I not attractive enough?" teased Qie Ranzhe while staring at Zhao Zhi who was avoiding his line of sight like a pro.


    Wen Qinxi carried on scrubbing the man''s back while asking himself why he was putting up with this in the first ce. Oh, that''s right. He was putting up with it because if he didn''t some harem member would eagerly take his ce and if that happens then he would surely kill someone. Since he didn''t want blood on his hands, he had to put up with it.


    "Very, very attractive.... in fact, too attractive," said Wen Qinxi still avoiding Qie Ranzhe''s line of sight. But he couldn''t keep avoiding him anymore because Qie Ranzhe stretched out his warm wet hand and seized Zhao Zhi''s chin forcing him to look at him.


    Wen Qinxi froze at this warm touch and didn''t know what to do. He could have removed Qie Ranzhe''s hand but he wanted it. Whatever it is Qie Ranzhe wanted to do by seizing his chin, he wanted it. So he let the man''s hand guide his chin like a patient under hypnosis as he sank deeper into those enchanting eyes.


    He waited and waited but nothing happened so he asked, "What are you going to do?" in an almost high pitched voice. Only the heavens know how hard his dick was right at this moment. It was hard to the point of being painful.


    "I am looking at the cut on your face. It''s healed but their still a tiny scar. I think I have the perfect elixir for that," he said while carefully examining Zhao Zhi''s scar. This wound was a result of fighting with those creatures in the dark mist but Wen Qinxi didn''t think this was what Qie Ranzhe was looking at. For a fleeting moment, he thought he was going to get kissed.


    ''So he was fuckin ying doctor. Perfect.... just perfect,'' thought Wen Qinxi with a hint of sarcasm that even an emotionless AI could understand.


    System: Hahaha.... boss, you are so fuckin thirsty.


    ''Scram!'' he replied to the system before deciding to be honest with this man before things get out of hand.


    Wen Qinxi took Qie Ranzhe''s hand off his chin and said, "Sect leader Qie, you shouldn''t be this close to me. It''s, it''s inappropriate."

 Chapter 417: Fifth World: Horsing Around On Bed

    Chapter 417: Fifth World: Horsing Around On Bed


    Qie Ranzhe''s brow creased for a moment with his index finger on his lip before asking, "Is it? Why?"


    "Because, I like men," he said finishing off the rest of his sentence in his heart, ''especially you.''


    The sect leader sank deeper into the wooden tub with his back leaning down in a rxed manner. A sly smile quirked up his face as he said, "So? It''s not like anything will happen between us. I have a harem ready to serve me, remember?"


    Wen Qinxi''s mouth twitched at his words. He fuckin knew it. This man would y him like a Yoyo and like an idiot, he was led on resulting in this predicament. Even Qi junior couldn''t stand for this as it instantly softened like a bby cucumber.


    Wen Qinxi tossed the sponge in his face and said, "Then go to your fuckin harem!" before storming away. He took off his outer robe while cursing under his breath before going under the quilt feigning sleep.


    He deliberately upied the entire bed as a sign that Qie Ranzhe should go sleep elsewhere but who would have thought the sect leader wouldn''t catch the hint. Qie Ranzhe dried his body and wore his inner robe before slowly approaching the bed.


    Qie Ranzhe sat on the only space avable on the double bed and poked Zhao Zhi while calling out to him. "Shidi.... shidi. Move over so I can sleep," but there was no response, "are you ignoring me? Shidi, are you going to move or not?"


    Wen Qinxi was obviously awake but he wasn''t going to give Qie Ranzhe the satisfaction so he continued with his act. Qie Ranzhe quieted down for a minute making Wen Qinxi believe he had given up.


    He silently listened for the sound of footsteps and the door but the room was dead silent for more than five minutes. Wen Qinxi wanted to continue to pretend but he had made a blunder covering his face with the quilt which meant he was getting hot under there.


    If it weren''t that he was as stubborn as an ox, he would have opened up the quilt a long time ago. His stubborn nature wouldn''t allow that which meant even when he was sweating like in a sauna he wouldn''t give in.


    Just when he thought he was going to suffocate under the quilt, Qie Ranzhe finally made his move but it was the least bit expected. "Tsk, fine then don''t me me," said Qie Ranzhe before jumping on top of Zhao Zhi, "Then I will just sleep on top of you."


    Believe it or not, there was nothing sexual about what he did. It was more like a big brother bullying a younger brother by slumping on top of him with his back in the poor victim''s face.


    "Ah, shit.... get off me. OMG, you are so fuckin childish,"ined Wen Qinxi while trying to push him off but the man was like a boulder, unmovable.


    Qie Ranzhe chuckled while gettingfortable. He found the feeling of screwing with Zhao Zhi was incredibly satisfying. This, unfortunately, made it highly addictive. He couldn''t seem to stop himself.


    "Seriously?.... Fine, then don''t me me," said Wen Qinxi with his hand pinching Qie Ranzhe''s waist making the man slide off him. Having gone through four worlds with Qie Ranzhe, he naturally knew the man''s sensitive spots and one of them was his waist. Using this to his advantage he sessfully got rid of the nuisance but not for long.


    Qie Ranzhe came back for vengeance trying to pinch Zhao Zhi which quickly escted into a yful scuffle that shouldn''t be seen by the outside world otherwise this sect leader''s strict reputation would be tainted big time.


    "Ah....stop... Hahahaha! Ran-ge, no more, I give up. I give up," was the sound ofughter and pleadinging from Wen Qinxi after being tickled with Qie Ranzhe straddling him, "Stop, haha. I am going to pee if you don''t stop."


    This came about after Qie Ranzhe realised how sensitive Zhao Zhi was. It seemed this mode of attack was more interesting than wrestling.


    "Shh," said Qie Ranzhe while smiling from ear to ear, "Do you want to wake the entire sect?" This is after he grabbed Zhao Zhi''s wrists and pinned them against the bed.


    "How can I keep it down if you keep torturing me?" replied Wen Qinxi liking the view very much. The scuffle just now had made him forget he was angry a couple of minutes ago.


    The two fell into silents panting from all the horsing around they were doing. Qie Ranzhe looked down at the man he was still straddling. He wanted to give a witty response but he found himself tongue-tied. That''s because the longer his gaze lingered on the man lying beneath him, the faster his heart thumped.


    Maybe it was that enchanting face belonging to a vixen or the supple skin showing from under the cor or maybe the way Zhao Zhi''s chest was moving.


    Whatever it was, it had him feeling chaotic as an inexplicable heat rose from within. He suddenly found himself wondering how it would feel like kissing Zhao Zhi''s lips. Zhao Zhi had kissed him already but because he was caught off guard, he didn''t pay attention.


    With his curiosity approaching dangerous levels, Qie Ranzhe cleared his throat before saying, "Sleep."


    Wen Qinxi nodded his head as Qie Ranzhe got off him. The two slept at opposite sides of the bed with one sleeping at the head of the bed and the other sleeping at the foot of the bed.


    Wen Qinxi couldn''t understand why Qie Ranzhe thought of sleeping this way. This made him grateful that he didn''t have smelly feet otherwise it would make this entire ordeal even more embarrassing.


    "If you put your foot in my mouth you won''t live till morning," said Qie Ranzhe as he covered himself in a separate quilt that he took out from his interspatial ring.


    "Likewise sect leader," said Wen Qinxi while smiling like a fool. It seemed a good old fashioned yful scuffle cured the uneasiness in his heart. He was going to monopolize this sect leader and from the looks of it, it won''t take time.


    With this in mind, Wen Qinxi fell asleep with a bright smile on his face. The room descended into peaceful silence with the asional chirping of the cicadasing from outside.


    This was bound to be a peaceful night but something unexpected happened. The docile pendant wrapped around Wen Qinxi''s neck shone a luminous white light. Though bright it didn''t seem to disturb the two men.


    After shining brighter than florescent lights, it began to dim as Wen Qinxi''s body absorbed the light. The room descended into darkness in a matter of seconds as the pendant vanished into thin air. This marked the beginning of a restless night for Wen Qinxi as sealed memories filled his mind.

 Chapter 418: Fifth World: Zhao Zhis Real Identity

    Chapter 418: Fifth World: Zhao Zhi''s Real Identity


    Wen Qinxi felt his body descend to the darkest depths like his soul was been sucked out of him. This kind of experience should have had him panicked especially for a non-swimmer like him who was highly averse to water. Surprisingly, Wen Qinxi allowed himself to sink in a rxed manner like he was home.


    This must have been Zhao Zhi''s home. As his surroundings got darker and darker, Wen Qinxi felt a maic force pull him into a vortex. By the time he opened his eyes, he was outside a grand underwater pce with his entire body transformed.


    His lovely feet were gone reced by a mesmerizing azure mermaid tail that captured his attention. "Holy shit!" yelled Wen Qinxi swaying that dazzling work of art that was clearly out of this world. His upper body was bare with a pendant hanging around his neck exuding a majestic picturesque scene that would have any girl drooling. In his hand, he held a scimitar that was clearly superior to any of the divine tools in the cultivation world.


    A mischievous part of him wanted to test the limits and cruise like a torpedo underwater but he found he couldn''t move much. It seemed he was inside of a memory which meant he was limited.


    "Your Highness, the king will see you now," said a voiceing from behind him. The merman who just spoke to him was dressed in a gold ted armour on his upper body with a greenish-blue tail that was in no way superior to his.


    Wen Qinxi''s body moved of its own ord as he entered the main hall filled with beautiful mermaids serving the so-called king. Judging on looks alone, this merman was most likely Zhao Zhi''s father. The king nced over in his direction before waving off the mermaids with a swift motion of the hand.


    In a matter of seconds, it was only the two of them remaining in the main hall. Wen Qinxi felt his heart grow cold faced by the merman king. It seemed Zhao Zhi didn''t like his father much and their rtionship was strained as confirmed by what happened next. The merman king flipped the side table shattering the vase on the floor before shooting an arrow using formidable telepathic powers.


    Wen Qinxi panicked and subconsciously wanted to dodge but he quickly found out that he couldn''t. Zhao Zhi remained rooted on the spot despite seeing iting. Just before it touched his adam''s apple, Zhao Zhi suddenly reached out and grasped the arrow that flying at bullet speed. Without uttering a single word, he crashed the arrow with ease further infuriating his father.


    A roar of haughtyughter escaped the merman king''s throat as he sat back down on his throne. Two secondster hisughter died down abruptly with his expression turning dark. "You dare challenge me, boy!" bellowed the merman king ring at Zhao Zhi.


    That loud roar had Wen Qinxi feel like pissing his pants. If it were up to him, he wouldn''t want to offend this great god but, of course, he didn''t have a choice in the matter.


    "Father, you have taken things too far. We can not keep associating ourselves with those demons.....," replied Zhao Zhi but he didn''t get to finish his statement when the king struck a pir with unfathomable force shaking the main hall at its foundation.


    "You still have the audacity to call me father while criticizing me?! Get out!" roared the king almost going berserk.


    The doors of the main hall were suddenly opened and a beautiful goddess entered with a gorgeous crownplimenting her tinum grey lustrous hair.


    Her sapphire mermaid tail swayed with grace but there was nothing vulnerable about her. Unlike the previous mermaids serving the king, she was a hundred times stronger with a domineering noble aura that couldn''t be instilled through teaching but something she was born with.


    Her sapphire mermaid tail seemed to extend towards her top half partially covering her belly with a beautiful sapphirece hovering around her. Wen Qinxi curiously eyed her chest. He wasn''t a pervert, it''s just that he was purely curious. Her blossoming chest was covered by a sapphire gold ted brassiere that closely resembled armour.


    While Wen Qinxi was satisfying his curiosity, the underwater goddess was giving the king an earful. It seemed like she was upset about the king treating their son as an enemy. In fact, Zhao Zhi was the only legitimate child and the rest of the king''s offsprings were from the king''s casual encounters.


    This meant Zhao Zhi was the rightful heir to the throne but he had to work hard to earn the position of the crown prince as he was under constant threat from his seven half brothers. ''Seven, damn that''s a busy merman,'' thought Wen Qinxi but he soon realised that these were only sons not counting the daughters.


    "If it weren''t for me you wouldn''t be sitting on that seat," she said before dragging Zhao Zhi out of the main hall. The next moment Wen Qinxi was outside the pce with the woman caressing his cheek in a doting fashion while soothing him.


    "Lian-er, don''t take it to heart. It''s mum''s fault for falling hopelessly in love with a fool. Do your part and I will do mine," she said with misty eyes like she was going to cry at any second. Wen Qinxi felt the urge to hug her but the memory faded away.


    He found himself standing in front of his seven brothers and they were chastising him for going against their father''s wishes. Their race had been isted from the rest of the world for thousands of years but when the new merman king seized the throne after marrying the daughter of thete king, he crossed boundaries and made a deal with a demon king in exchange for an elixir that would make him immortal and invisible in terms of strength.


    That way he could live forever and rule the seas andkes unchallenged. He wouldn''t have to worry about his sons overthrowing him more especially Lan Lian Hua (a.k.a Zhao Zhi). In exchange he had to offer virgin citizens to the demon king for cultivation as a sacrifice very year.


    Lan Lian Hua naturally didn''t know about this growing up but once he found out he defied his father and single-handedly stood up for his race. This didn''t settle well with the king but he wasn''t worried because no one could challenge his authority.


    What he didn''t know was that his queen was training her son in secret giving him the best of the best to make him just as powerful. All Lan Lian Hua had to do was be powerful enough to overthrow the king in a one vs onebat. It was unfortunate that the king was unkible because of that elixir made out of a demon king''s blood.


    "So you can watch in silence as our people get dragged by that demon each year?" asked Lan Lian Hua (Zhao Zhi).

 Chapter 419: Fifth World: Lin Lins Grand Entrance

    Chapter 419: Fifth World: Lin Lin''s Grand Entrance


    "So what? It''s not like he is taking the entire kingdom. It''s just insignificant peasants so what''s your problem?" said the most outspoken of them all.


    "Aren''t you worried that one day this demon king will be powerful enough to enve our entire race? Do you know what would happen to the rest of us when that happens?" expressed Lan Lian Hua but it was as though he was talking to air. He knew nothing good woulde out from making a deal with a devil but of course, no one believed him.


    This memory faded once more and he reappeared on the surface of the water creating a barrier to prevent the demon king from entering their underwater kingdom.


    What he didn''t know was that this year he had been calcted against. He was one of the citizens the king wanted to offer up as a sacrifice. The demon king intended to reward his loyal subordinate Qie Anzhie with this powerful merman prince.


    But something unusual happened. Things were much more chaotic than usual. Their realm seemed to have opened on unusual coordinates. What Lan Lian Hua didn''t know at that time was that the realm was opened over the Qie Mansion which was bad news for the humans caught in the crossfire.


    The terrestrial beasts tore at the unfortunate cultivators who dared trespass resulting in a gory scene. Lan Lian Hua only cared about his people so he didn''t bother to save either the righteous or demonic cultivators that is until he saw Qie Ranzhe about to be devoured. Sensing the man''s grief, he was suddenly struck by inspiration.


    They didn''t have allies in the mortal realm but if they did then wouldn''t it be good to have someone help fend off the demon king. His n wasn''t exactly perfect but one thing was for certain, he had to save this man.


    So Lan Lian Hua rescued Qie Ranzhe who was already unconscious. He then took him to an isted part of the kingdom to treat his wounds but someone witnessed the scene in the shadows with malicious intent.


    For thirty days straight, Lan Lian Hua treated Qie Ranzhe''s wounds but the man didn''t wake up. This became a well-kept secret only he and his mother knew about. But he didn''t know someone was plotting against him.


    The most outspoken of his half brothers, Lan Wei had been watching him for a long time and knew about the queen''s n to have his older brother fight in singlebat with the king. Sure, he found the king annoying but he didn''t want his older brother to seed either so he decided to eliminate thepetition.


    It was a well-known fact that if their race had intimate rtions outside their species, they wouldpse in cultivation rank from just that first time only. This meant his brother would be a waste after having his first time taken away by a human so he found Lan Lian Hua''s secret hideout where he was hiding the man.


    He got his hands on the aphrodisiac they use on the terrestrial beasts in the forest to force them to procreate to increase their numbers for defence.


    After much difficulty, he sprayed this strong powder into the cave and patiently waited for the good news. All this was done behind his father''s back. He didn''t know the king had promised Lan Lian Hua to the demon king so he could get rid of his disrespectful son.


    Because the human couldn''t breathe underwater, Lan Lian Hua had Qie Ranzhe in a hidden underwater cave drained of all the water. When he entered the cave, his tail vanished reced with a pair of long slender legs. Wen Qinxi saw himself wear a robe before he was blindsided by the horny Qie Ranzhe.


    Lan Lian Hua struggled but it was futile because he was soon affected by the same powder. From then on he resigned to his fate fully aware that it was pointless to fight the effects.


    The two entangled with each other for days on end till they fell unconscious when the powder dispersed. Coincidentally, the queen found out her husband''s n to send her son into that demon king''s hands so she went to find him.


    When she saw her son''s state, she was so angered that she struck the unconscious Qie Ranzhe taking away the cultivation gained from taking advantage of her son and ced a seal to prevent him from making any further breakthrough.


    This was the punishment she bestowed upon him. But that wasn''t the worst of it. She found out her unconscious son had a seed nted within him which meant she had to think fast otherwise her wretched husband would y her son.


    She elerated the growth of that half yao half-human fetus and took it out of her son. She wanted to kill this child at first but once she was met by those doe eyes her heart softened. She sealed the child''s dantian with a seal that could only be broken by her or her descendants. This was for the child''s own protection otherwise he would suffer the same fate as the yao that were taken by the demon king.


    She then took away her son''s memory and sealed them in what looked like a pendant. This decision stemmed from her maternal love for Lan Lian Hua. It would be better that he didn''t remember this ce and move on with his life. Based on her son''s character he woulde back to pick a fight with those who calcted against him even when he was weak so she had to protect him from himself.


    The goddess then opened a portal and dumped Qie Ranzhe and the child to the furthest part of the continent with the pendant. As for her son? She left him in the mortal realm a ce her husband couldn''t easily reach. When she left him, he was clothed with rare treasures thinking he would be okay.


    But she truly underestimated men''s greed. The unconscious Lan Lian Hua was stripped of his clothes and robbed of all his treasures. Since he looked important based on his clothes, the bandits decided to toss him in the river and let him die but who would have thought the man''s legs would change into a fish-like tail as soon as they ced him in the water.


    Terrified out of their minds, they ran away fearing they had run into a demon. This is how sect leader Zhao found this Lan Lian Hua and named him Zhao Zhi.


    Wen Qinxi watched all this and couldn''t help but shake his head wondering what goes on in Qie Ranzhe''s head toe up with such a messed up plot.


    The only good thing was that he could finally experience how it feels to swim. Thisndlocked nerd was about to explore the underwater world to his heart''s content.

 Chapter 420: Fifth World: Lukewarm Pervert Steals A Kiss

    Chapter 420: Fifth World: Lukewarm Pervert Steals A Kiss


    Now that the truth was revealed and hazy memories restored, Wen Qinxi opened his eyes with rity. The fact that he was a super handsome merman was exciting in itself that he couldn''t wait to y in the water like a toddler in a kiddie poolcking self-awareness.


    If it were up to him he would have dashed out of the room right now and took off his clothes along the way before doing a cannonball into theke like the kids at spring break.


    Wen Qinxi sat up straight with his gaze straying towards the sleeping Qie Ranzhe. The sun had partially risen from the horizon but the sect leader was sleeping so peacefully with no signs of waking up which was in itself unusual.


    An incontestable desire to touch Qie Ranzhe grew within him as he eyed that handsome side profile that looked especially tantalizing under the morning sun.


    Wen Qinxi crawled over till hey on top of the defenceless sect leader. He was especially careful in his movements as he crawled over. This was because he didn''t want to wake the sleeping man. This silent and inattentive version of Qie Ranzhe was incredibly rare to see so Wen Qinxi took in this sight to his heart''s content and engraved it in his memory.


    Since he now knew the reason why Qie Ranzhe couldn''t make a breakthrough, Wen Qinxi decided to break the seal that was holding the sect leader back. The only problem was that he wasn''t a saint.


    Since his prey found its way to his den then it would be a shame if he didn''t teach this sect leader a lesson. Besides, he wanted to im his territory in front of those harem members and give them something to talk about.


    Using his regained memories, he channelled his internal energy to the palm of his left hand and pressed it against Qie Ranzhe''s chest with his head leaning down creating an ambiguous posture. Wen Qinxi was almost straddling Qie Ranzhe with his lust-filled eyes peering at the sect leader''s lips like a hungry wolf.


    He whispered something from memory as a blue light shone on Qie Ranzhe''s chest freeing the man from what was holding him back. In all this Qie Ranzhe felt nothing which meant he didn''t feel Wen Qinxi''s lips touch his. Seeing that Qie Ranzhe didn''t wake up from that kiss, Wen Qinxi grew brazen sucking and biting on the man''s tender lips with verve. Talk about giving an inch and they will take a mile.


    Wen Qinxi seemed to have opened pandora''s box because he found himself unable to stop. He even went as far as being handsy touching the sect leader with his free hand. If it weren''t for the seal breaking, he would have continued. Only the heavens know how far he would have gone if it weren''t for that.


    He got up from on top of Qie Ranzhe and looked down at the bruised lip in satisfaction. It was like a beautiful rosebud in the middle of a snowy winter. This gorgeous sight was mesmerising that Wen Qinxi couldn''t resist caressing.


    He brushed Qie Ranzhe''s lips with his thumb and whispered, "As long as we are still in this game you can only belong to me."


    Satisfied, Wen Qinxi pecked the corner of Qie Ranzhe''s lips and got up to wash up. When he was done he decided to go hunting for some breakfast. It seemed removing such an intricate seal left him peckish but before he left, he created abarrier on the bedroom door.


    The barrier was soundproof and secure that no one could get in and only Qie Ranzhe could get out. With so manydies prancing around the sect while unting their assets he couldn''t be reassured. This was his subtle way of protecting his naive little rabbit.


    As soon as he entered the main hall of the house, Wen Qinxi was dumbstruck to find a group of women sitting on a round table while chatting happily. They were obviously waiting for the sect leader to show up so they could eat breakfast together.


    As expected the women all turned to look in his direction but their bright smiles sank when they saw who it was. Wen Qinxi couldn''t help but feel a little displeased by this. Yeah sure, he wasn''t as handsome as their sect leader but did they have to show their disappointment unreservedly?


    Wen Qinxi didn''t focus so much on this ambling over to the table with great confidence. He took a seat and said, "Well, there is no need for you to wait for your sect leader. He is going to sleep in today," exined Wen Qinxi before he started digging into the meals.


    These meals were prepared for the sect leader by the concubines who were trying to win Qie Ranzhe''s heart which meant they were both delicious and high end. Qie Ranzhe enjoyed the meal very much ignoring the daggers being sent his way.


    At least there was one sensible woman among them. She neutralized the intense gun powder umting in the room and said, "Sect leader Qie must be a little tired from all the travelling so how about we eat first." Her words had the rest of the group grumbling under their breath inint.


    Wen Qinxi took a sip of his tea and said, "No it''s not from that," stirring up shit on purpose.


    Thedies put down their cutlery staring at him with expressions that seemed to say ''exin yourself'' that is apart from one girl who was biting her lower lip in anxiety.


    Wen Qinxi noticed her actions from his peripheral view and knew who his first victim would be. He noted down her name in his death note. This young miss seemed ridden with guilt which meant she must be the one that had Qie Ranzhe running to his room for a sleepover.


    "What does this dage mean by it wasn''t from that?" asked one of the women wearing a pink ruqun (ancient Chinese outfit for women) showing off some cleavage. She was tired of waiting for this man to exin so she urged him on for an answer.


    Wen Qinxi didn''t immediately respond purposefully building suspense like an excellent storyteller striking when the pot is just about to boil over. "How do I say this....," he said creating a dramatic effect, "it seems someone kept him busyst night so....."


    The implication was obvious and these women naturally understood. Because they were in the exact same situation they had developed a sisterly friendship burying the hatchet in a truce. Since Qie Ranzhe was never interested in any of them, their hearts eased allowing them to form a sisterly bond as weak as a model of the Eiffel Tower made out of popsicle sticks by an eighth-grader.


    But that shabby looking tower was about to copse with a small nudge from his pinky finger. Wen Qinxi suppressed a cunning smile as he took a sip of his tea.

 Chapter 421: Fifth World: Mosquitoes Did It

    Chapter 421: Fifth World: Mosquitoes Did It


    It seemed today there was going to be a live show of the real housewives. The only difference was that they would be pulling out each other''s hair for one man.


    Just when Wen Qinxi thought things wouldn''t get more interesting than this, Qie Ranzhe walked in and became the ignition source that sparked a catfight in the harem. His bottom lip was bruised with an alluring red colour. Everyone knew what type of injury this was. Coupled with Zhao Zhi''s words earlier it cemented their spections.


    Someone among their sisterhood sessfully bedded the sect leader right under their noses. Qie Ranzhe didn''t seem to notice their odd gazes with his eyes fixed on Zhao Zhi in silence. He didn''t even respond to the morning greetings just standing there staring at Zhao Zhi.


    Wen Qinxi felt his back hairs stand on end. He wordlessly stood up to leave lest this sect leader exposed him in front of this group of scorned women otherwise he might end up being the main cast member in today''s episode of the real housewives of the Qie Sect. As the saying goes ''hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.


    Since Qie Ranzhe was blocking a third of the door, Wen Qinxi smiled innocently gesturing to the sect leader to make way but Qie Ranzhe remained unmoved.


    ''Fine, I will just squeeze my way out,'' he thought before turning his body to the side and squeezing out of the room with a stiff smile. As soon as he was free, Wen Qinxi heaved a sigh of relief and scurried away but who would have thought this sect leader wasn''t done with him yet.


    Qie Ranzhe cleared his throat and gestured for thedies to carry on with whatever it is they were doing. He then followed behind Zhao Zhi catching up with him in a few strides. Seeing that Zhao Zhi was purposefully ignoring him, Qie Ranzhe lightly grabbed hold of his elbow and said, "Shidi, I am hungry," in a serious tone like he didn''t see anything wrong with what he said.


    Sure enough, Wen Qinxi frowned unable to understand why Qie Ranzhe would tell him that. Yes, if it was in the fourth world he would have darted to the kitchen in a hurry no questions asked but this was the fourth world and their rtionship wasn''t exactly there yet.


    "Then would this sect leader like me to direct him to the kitchen in his own pavilion?" asked Wen Qinxi feeling rather smug.


    Qie Ranzhe seemed unfazed by the obvious sarcasm. "Indulge me.... just this once," he said taking a step closer.


    Wen Qinxi initially thought Qie Ranzhe was upset about the lip hickey and knew he was the culprit. This led him to the conclusion that the sect leader was asking him to make breakfast as punishment but it turned out Qie Ranzhe had no idea he was bitten by a mosquito at the break of dawn. Of course, that mosquito would be him.


    "Why not join your harem for breakfast. They were eagerly waiting for you to make your appearance a couple of minutes ago," replied Wen Qinxi in a rather sour tone. The word harem always left a bad taste in his mouth like he had eaten an unripe grapefruit.


    Qie Ranzhe shook his head and said, "I don''t trust them neither should you," before grabbing his wrist to pull him towards the kitchen, "Don''t ever eat what they prepare."


    "That''s a bit harsh," mumbled Wen Qinxi while being dragged away. His voice was barely audible that any regr person wouldn''t be able to make sense of what he said but Qie Ranzhe heard it. He paused in his tracks and red at Zhao Zhi before resuming the short trip to the kitchen.


    Qie Ranzhe led him to the kitchen before taking a seat on the chair with his hands on the kitchen table waiting for him to finish.


    Wen Qinxi, "...."


    It seemed he had been demoted from a senior disciple to a cook in just a few days. "Sect leader Qie, aren''t you being a little naive?.... How certain are you that I wouldn''t add an extra special ingredient in your food?" said Wen Qinxi refusing to go down without a fight. He knew he would go down with ease but if he didn''t put up a good fight it would make him seem like a pushover.


    "Because I am watching you. How about some seafood congee?" said Qie Ranzhe while rubbing his chin with his thumb.


    Wen Qinxi almost rolled his eyes at the man''s words. Did he look like a servant in Qie Ranzhe''s eyes? The guy even dared to ce an order.


    "You will eat whatever I make," muttered Wen Qinxi while harshly handling the ingredients. While cooking he felt a piercing gaze boring at his back making him feel like a sushi chef at an open kitchen restaurant. Being watched like this made him feel nervous which meant his cooking actions were pretty fast.


    He ced the bowl in front of Qie Ranzhe and leisurely folded his hands across his chest ready to exact revenge. Since the sect leader dared to watch him while cooking then he also dared to watch him while he is eating.


    Qie Ranzhe smiled and said, "Thank you," while picking up a porcin spoon. "Aboutst night.... did I do anything excessive?" he asked while stirring the steaming hot congee. This was the real reason he came looking for Zhao Zhi.


    Anything from the time he found a person in his bed, he couldn''t remember. One can only imagine his shock when he woke up in Zhao Zhi''s bed with a massive hangover. He had to circte his Qi to get rid of the side effects of excessive drinking and as soon as he felt refreshed, he went looking for Zhao Zhi.


    This meant he didn''t care for Zhao Zhi''s cooking, he was just using it as an excuse to be alone with him and start an inquisition intost night''s events. As soon as he asked this question, he ate a spoonful of the congee and felt a stinging paining from his lips. Qie Ranzhe drew in a cold breath of air with his fingers touching the sore lip.


    He immediately stood up and checked his reflection in the barrel of water at the corner of the room. "What the...," he said staring at his busted lips. He then turned around to look at Zhao Zhi and asked, "Did we fightst night?"


    Wen Qinxi, "...."


    ''Well yes, our lips fought early this morning,'' said Wen Qinxi to himself while scratching his head in nervousness. He had toe up with a usible excuse otherwise he is a dead man walking. Well, any excuse better than a mosquito did it would suffice because that wound was definitely not done by a mosquito.


    Mosquitoes, ''Bruh, this has nothing to do with us.''

 Chapter 422: Fifth World: Cat Fight!

    Chapter 422: Fifth World: Cat Fight!


    Wen Qinxi realised he couldn''t speak the truth otherwise they might have a very bad ending so he decided to lie like a rug. Go big or go home, right? With nothing to lose he lied, lied and lied to the very end. With a tender affectionate gaze, he sat by Qie Ranzhe''s side looking exactly like a wolf in sheep''s clothing.


    He reached out with his slender fingers and touched Qie Ranzhe''s chin drawing him closer with a grimace on his face. "Tsk, it must be painful. I am so sorry I did that. I was a bit harsh on you," he said rubbing the wound with his thumb.


    At first, Qie Ranzhe was entranced by that handsome face moving closer inch by inch. No one knows what was going on in the sect leader''s mind but the tips of his ears were red. But that sweet tantalizing blush vanished at Zhao Zhi''s words. His face turned pale like a bucket of ice-cold water had been poured on his entire body.


    He removed Zhao Zhi''s hand on his chin his expression extremely cold but Wen Qinxi wasn''t fazed. "Huh, I see so I should have just let you take advantage of me? Is that it? Sect leader Qie you are something else," said Wen Qinxi seeming aggrieved as he dropped such an ambiguous sentence.


    Qie Ranzhe was about to ask for details but he found himself tongue-tied. It seemed he hade to the conclusion that he had done something to Zhao Zhi which culminated to him being bitten. Feeling somewhat self-loathing, he said, "I....., I will take responsibility."


    Wen Qinxi had slightly twisted the truth. In his mind, he was thinking that he had helped Qie Ranzhe with his breakthrough issues so he kissed him cancelling the debt. He knew Qie Ranzhe would misunderstand but he also didn''t want to rify. He intended for this man to sweat bullets for a while before making things clear. This ought to teach him not to casually drink in the presence of vultures.


    "Sect leader Qie don''t think too much. Instead, you should carefully examine yourself instead of worrying about insignificant things," said Wen Qinxi before walking towards the door in slow steps while Qie Ranzhe was distracted.


    Qie Ranzhe hadn''t carefully inspected his meridians and spiritual root while getting rid of his hangover earlier but after Zhao Zhi''s words he felt something was different. While Qie Ranzhe was lost in thought, Wen Qinxi decided to slip away. Only the heavens know how easy it would be for him to yield if Qie Ranzhe pressed him on it.


    As soon as he exited the door, Wen Qinxi vanished into thin air that even if Qie Ranzhe had immediately snapped out of his trance he wouldn''t have been able to catch up with his shadow.


    Wen Qinxi ran away to get some peace and quiet but he didn''t expect to find a group of women gathered at the bank of a stream that flows from a mountain spring. The situation down there didn''t look calm in the slightest. There was a lot of finger-pointing and usations flying around.


    "How interesting," he mumbled to himself as he settled atop a hill to watch the good show. He sat with his legs crossed while searching for some snacks to go along with the live show but he couldn''t find any. Feeling rather frustrated, he drooped his shoulders in dissatisfaction.


    His elbow dug into his thigh as he used his hand to prop up his chin in a fist while watching thedies who were escting things. If this was the real world he would have called the cops but this was in a game after all. It would be interesting to watch these fake sisters tear at each other''s hair.


    Just when things were getting good, a bag of what could only be melon seeds was ced on his shoulder. Wen Qinxi took the bag while looking up. Who else could it be other than Qie Xieling? The boy smiled at him before sitting down next to him while holding out another small bag.


    "Shixiong, I brought some peanuts too. Do you want some?" he asked in a rather giddy tone like a kid watching a movie with his parents for the first time.


    Wen Qinxi shook his head while opening up the tiny bag of melon seeds. "Who do you think is going to p who first? I think Lei-Jie is going to p that short one with a pink dress first," he exined while pointing at the group of women.


    "How do you even know they are going to fight?" asked Wen Qinxi before cracking the shell of a melon seed in between his incisors.


    Qie Xieling chuckled while handing him a piece of paper. "You are the one who orchestrated this fight yet you dare ask me," he said while Wen Qinxi unfolded the piece of paper.


    "Are you fuckin kidding me?" uttered Wen Qinxi while eyeing Qie Xieling with a soul searching gaze.


    Qie Xieling thought his Shixiong was upset that they ced bets after eavesdropping on him. He was just about to apologize when he heard Zhao Zhi say, "Lin Lin, why did you guys leave me out when I set up the stage? Who said I didn''t want to ce a bet as well?"


    Qie Xieling, "...."


    ''That''s what he is mad about?'' thought Qie Xieling pressing his lips in a thin line stifling hisughter.


    "Uh Shixiong, I apologize but it''s not toote. You can still ce a bet," he said trying to appease Zhao Zhi but it seemed futile so he decided to change the subject, "By the way which one of them really gave my father a lip hickey? Everyone ced a bet on that as well but I still haven''t decided who to bet on. How about it Shixiong.... help your junior win easy money."


    Wen Qinxi licked his lips in embarrassment. He dared not look at Qie Xieling while mumbling, "It was me," in a mouse-like voice.


    Qie Xieling raised a brow seriously doubting his ears. It was about time he asked his father to clean out all that ear wax that was making him hear things. "Huh?"


    "It was me," he said again looking away with his face heating up faster than a clothes iron.


    The boy seemed to not have heard him clearly because he leaned closer and said, "Ah, Shixiong my ears are due for servicing. Sorry, can you repeat that?"


    Wen Qinxi finally stared at him having lost his patients after repeating it two times. "It was me damn it. I did it," said Wen Qinxi feeling like a suspect that easily sumbed after just two minutes of being interrogated by a bike cop. Seriously, he should nevermit a crime otherwise he would confess to it with ease.


    "Oh, I will ce a bet on..... oh shit Shixiong. You.... mhmm," said Qie Xieling with the muffled noisesing from his mouth covered by Zhao Zhi''s hand.


    "Are you trying to let the whole peak know? Seriously, calm the fuck down. Now, are you going to behave?" he asked which was followed by Qie Xieling''s enthusiastic nods. Wen Qinxi let him go but Qie Xieling wasn''t going to let the matter go. It seemed this Shixiong was an expert.

 Chapter 423: Fifth World: Running Away From Aunt Dai Yu

    Chapter 423: Fifth World: Running Away From Aunt Dai Yu


    It took him just one night tond a kiss while the harem had been stuck in the sister zone for ages. And being in the sister zone is far worse than being in the friend zone which meant it was a hopeless case.


    "Shixiong, how did you move mount Tai in one night?" whispered Qie Xieling but he didn''t get to get an answer because his aunt, Shao Lan and Machu showed up.


    "Ah, has it started already? You see, this is why I told you to leave early,"ined Dai Yu while slumping on the ground close to Zhao Zhi.


    Machu didn''t appreciate being med for this so he said, "You are the one who insisted on putting on makeup so how is this my fault?" while sitting next to Qie Xieling helping himself to the bag of peanuts.


    "It''s all your fault. All you had to say was Yu-Jie you look beautiful when I asked you how do I look but what did you say? You said I look like an auntie selling radishes at the market in the middle of summer. You say that kind of shit to a woman and you know you are going to be two hourste to the party," exined Dai Yu.


    "Oh god, here we go again," said Shao Lan feeling like he should just go back and find something else to do. Even fighting spiritual beasts would be more interesting than hanging around waiting to get caught in the crossfire.


    "Here, let me show you. Xieling, how does aunty look?" she asked looking over to her nephew.


    Like a good child, Qie Xieling grinned and said, "Auntie looks *muah, fantastic."


    "*cough, *cough, suck up, *cough," said Machu concealing his words with loud coughing sounds.


    Dai Yu''s lips twitched while glowering at Machu but it wasn''t effective. She then turned to Zhao Zhi sitting next to her and said, "How about you Zhi-ge, how do I look?" in a cute loli voice that could have men barking and whistling with their tongues sticking out but of course, Wen Qinxi had grown immune to this.


    "Um... ahem," replied Wen Qinxi feeling pressurised. All the man wanted was to watch a good show but now he was being dragged into a senseless argument. "Very beautiful," he said in earnestness.


    Dai Yu was about to respond when the catfight at the stream upgraded to hair pulling. "Oh wow, shorty really packs a punch," said Machu as they watched the shortdy in a pink dress knee one of the girls in the stomach.


    The other women tried to separate them but ended up getting caught in between instead. This quickly escted into a random fight making the melon seed eaters in the peanut gallery somewhat lose interest.


    "If they keep fighting like this our bets would be useless. Should we stop them?" asked Qie Xieling with a pained expression.


    "How about letting the sect leader deal with this?" said Shao Lan as one of thedies took off her brocade boots and tossed them into the fighting crowd.


    "That would be a problem, he said he is going into closed-door cultivation and no one is allowed to disturb him," exined Machu his heart aching for the woman who was smacked across the face.


    Dai Yu casually tossed a melon seed into her mouth looking like she was enjoying the show very much. "Why stop it? This is very entertaining. Hey Xieling, be a good boy and pass some peanuts over to your dear aunt," she said without taking her eyes off the fight.


    Everyone, "...."


    Sensing everyone''s gazend on her she turned to face them with a puzzled expression. "What?" she asked looking confused, "Fine, you can stop the fight once they draw blood. Even a nose bleed will suffice. It''s not a real fight unless you draw blood, isn''t it?"


    "Oh gosh, how is she any different from a ghoul?"ined Shao Lan before descending towards the stream.


    "So violent," said Machu before following Shao Lan to separate the women.


    Dai Yu didn''t seem pleased about it yelling at them while standing up, "Don''t you judge me! You all ced a bet!... Hey, hey, you two where do you think you are going?"


    The two she was referring to pretended not to hear scurrying away at a fast pace. "Are you ignoring me? Hey!" she said seriously thinking of chasing after her nephew.


    Qie Xieling seemed panicked recalling how his auntie made him write ''Auntie Yu is a rare beauty'' a thousand times after talking back to her. This time his offence was even greater so he said, "Shixiong, run!"


    The boy was right. That woman was like when a bullet train had a baby with a rocket and produced this heaven-defying creature. The only way they managed to shake her off was using a teleportation talisman teleporting themselves at the furthest corner of the Qie sect. Even when they did that she was still looking for them which left this nerd with only one choice.


    "Let''s jump," said Wen Qinxi pointing at the clear blueke before them.


    Qie Xieling gasped in horror and said, "Shixiong, her punishment isn''t that bad that one shouldmit suicide..... ouch," yelped Qie Xieling after being smacked upside his head.


    Wen Qinxi smiled and said, "Let me show you something cool," that is before he jumped into the deepke that no one dared to challenge. With a big ssh, Zhao Zhi was gone. The boy waited and waited but his Shixiong didn''t resurface to the point where the ripples on the surface of theke began to smooth out returning to a serene calmness.


    Qie Xieling was so petrified that he kept on calling his Shixiong pacing up and down. He was just about to call his auntie to save Zhao Zhi when a beautiful tail surfaced followed by a familiar handsome face.


    "Shixiong! You!.... Do you know I was crying?" he said overlooking the most important thing that is his Shixiong having a tail.


    Wen Qinxi tossed his clothes at Qie Xieling urately hitting him in the face. "I had to take off my clothes underwater otherwise I would look weird," exined Wen Qinxi pping his merman tail as though saying ''look at me, praise me'' but Qie Xieling didn''t catch on quick enough. Wen Qinxi was starting to suspect his son was a slow-witted genius if there is even such a thing.


    Having his merman tail ignored Wen Qinxi had to resort to pping the tail so hard on the surface of the water causing a big ssh in Qie Xieling''s direction.


    Qie Xieling was about toin as he wiped the water off his face when his line of sight fell on that gorgeous tail. His eyes widened like a kid in a candy store. He couldn''t wait to jump in and take a closer look.

 Chapter 424: Fifth World: Confessions

    Chapter 424: Fifth World: Confessions


    Qie Xieling was as happy as a pig rolling in filth while standing at the edge of theke. Like a restless puppy, he paced up and down at an arm''s length distance while staring at theke surface with glistening eyes.


    "What are you doing? Haha Lin Lin, just get in," said a soothing voice that could only belong to Wen Qinxi.


    Feeling rushed, Qie Xieling replied, "Ah Shixiong, don''t rush me! I can''t swim," while dipping a toe. Ever since he was a baby he was averse to water so how could he easily let go of two decades of phobia in one go. "Give me a minute," he said with his toe lightly touching the water like a petalnding gently on the surface of theke.


    Wen Qinxi couldn''t help but fold his arms across his chest while staring at his son. He suddenly felt like he had given birth to a Gen Z baby with a lot of allergies. He could only imagine how hard it would be to find gluten, egg and peanut-free cake for a birthday party. He was about to tease Qie Xieling when he heard an impatient female voice calling Qie Xieling''s name.


    It seemed he wasn''t the only one who heard it because Qie Xieling''s body stiffened as he turned his head back slowly. His aunt had finally caught up with them and now he was caught between a rock and a hard ce.


    "Hurry up, what are you waiting for? Trust me," said Wen Qinxi wishing someone could just push Qie Xieling into the pool. Well, giant pool in this case.


    Qie Xieling seemed to be more afraid of his aunt than water so he belly-flopped into theke while yelling, "Shixiong catch me!"


    Wen Qinxi didn''t know anything about swimming but even he could tell that the way Qie Xieling dove into theke was very wrong.


    With a loud Pa sound, Qie Xieling entered the water but he almost broke down in tears from the pain. It was like getting pped ten times across his face.


    Wen Qinxi swam over and grabbed the boy underwater. With the stroke of his palm, he broke the seal holding Qie Xieling back. As soon as he broke that seal, Qie Xieling found he could breathe underwater but that wasn''t the biggest highlight. Qie Xieling''s lovely feet vanished and reced by a graceful merman tailparable to his Shixiong''s.


    Qie Xieling was freaking out but he didn''t get the chance to process his feelings before he was pulled by the wrist and led to the deepest depths of theke. By the time Dai Yu reached the edge of theke, the surface was so tranquil like it hadn''t been disturbed for thousands of years.


    Her brows furrowed while scanning around. She was certain she had heard voices just now but once she got to where the voices came from there was no one. ying hide and seek with her nephew around the Qie sect was one of her favourite things. She was like a predator hunting its prey. Curious to see how long her nephew would hide from her, she left to search elsewhere.


    It seemed Dai Yu wasn''t the only one looking for these two because halfway across the continent near an ancient temple, a monk suddenly opened his eyes in the direction of the Qie sect. A faint green glow shimmered in his eyes as he whispered, "The beast has finally shown itself."


    The monk stood up and leapt off the mountain reappearing at the entrance of the temple. It was about time he rallied forces and eliminate evil to protect the innocent.


    Wen Qinxi who didn''t know he had a bounty over his head was busy answering Qie Xieling''s incessant questions. It had already been two weeks but the boy made him repeat the exnation dozens of times. Like a broken record he retold the events that led to the boy''s birth over and over again to the point of losing patience.


    To shut him up, Wen Qinxi decided to urge him to cultivate. Wen Qinxi was a person who struggled to sit still for a long time but he would dly take that offer as long as it calmed Qie Xieling.


    Like putting a toddler to sleep, Wen Qinxi finally had Qie Xieling cultivating seriously for an entire fortnight. While his son was making up for lost time catching up with his peers, Wen Qinxi was binge-watching movies and series with the system to kill time.


    It was going great that is until someone came knocking. At first, he thought it was Dai Yu who came looking for trouble again so he ignored it as he carried on watching the dog blood drama that Jolie rmended. He was about to ask the system to continue when the door was suddenly kicked in followed by slow and steady steps heading towards his direction.


    Annoyed, Wen Qinxi stood up ready to drag that person out and give them an earful but his words got stuck in his throat when he saw the majestic sect leader who seemed more terrifying than before.


    Feeling some sort of crisis, Wen Qinxi took the lead to walk out of the room otherwise he would suffocate under such heavy pressure. Qie Ranzhe''s lips twitched as he followed behind this Shidi who seemed to be hiding a whole lot of secrets.


    That day when Zhao Zhi told him to carefully examine himself he didn''t think much at first but once he found out what happened he had questions that urgently needed answers. But he felt an urgency to cultivate which left him with no choice but to interrogate himter.


    As soon as he came out of closed-door cultivation he came looking for him ready to get the truth about what happened that year. He knew this man was a major key to the mystery but he couldn''t figure out where he fit in in all of this. In his mind, he hade up with one possible scenario.


    That scenario would be that Zhao Zhi was somewhat rted to the person who gave birth to Qie Xieling and the fact that he could break the seal meant the rtion was especially strong. This also led him to believe that Zhao Zhi had regained his lost memories otherwise how would he have been able to break the seal all of a sudden?


    Havinge to this conclusion, Qie Ranzhe created a powerful barrier to prevent eavesdropping before sitting on the tea table with an unreadable expression.


    "Sit," he said without raising his head as he poured out some tea. Wen Qinxi gazed down at the long slender fingers wrapped around the porcin cup unable to move an inch. All the cells in his body were screaming at him to run sensing something was wrong but for whatever reason, he couldn''t move.


    Qie Ranzhe lifted his head staring at Zhao Zhi with those dazzling phoenix eyes. Like a bug attracted to light, Wen Qinxi found himself obeying the man''smand as though bewitched.


    Qie Ranzhe handed him a porcin cup and said, "Where is she?" in a cool sombre tone.

 Chapter 425: Fifth World: Confessions 2

    Chapter 425: Fifth World: Confessions 2


    "Huh?" asked Wen Qinxi having lost his soul to the man in front of him. He was barely paying attention to the man''s words as his sole attention was on the man''s handsome face.


    "Xieling''s mother. Where is she and who is she to you? You obviously remember everything so I will give you a chance toe clean," he asked again with no hint of impatience.


    ''Oh boy,'' thought Wen Qinxi as ayer of cold sweat formed on his forehead. How on earth was he supposed to exin this? ''Hey, sorry but there is no woman and you slept with a guy. Sorry mate?''


    Wouldn''t that have his junior brother cut off and left to hang in the sun like a piece of dried meat? Wen Qinxi swallowed hard while peering at him with shifty eyes. For the sake of gettingid in the future, he decided to bite the bullet ande clean.


    Like ripping off a band-aid he said, "Ahem... sect leader Qie. There, there is no woman."


    Qie Ranzhe''s gaze remained locked on him like a heat-seeking missile. He was trying to find signs that Zhao Zhi was lying but to his surprise, the man was actually speaking the truth.


    Qie Ranzhe settled the porcin cup on the table and ced his sheathed sword alongside it before saying, "Okay, then why don''t you tell me exactly what happened two decades ago. Where you or where you not there inside that monstrous realm?"


    Wen Qinxi felt the hairs on his back stand on end when he saw ck cmity on the tea table shimmering like it was ready to draw blood. There was no way in hell he was going to talk with that sword eyeing him like it was looking at a dead man.


    "Sect leader Qie, I will tell you everything you want to know only if you put a muzzle on yourself otherwise I am not saying shit," he said moving a little further from ck cmity. That sword had so much ill will towards him that he could feel it despite it being an object.


    Qie Ranzhe naturally didn''t miss Zhao Zhi''s actions. In fact, his sword always sensed his feelings both positive and negative which is why it had a strong reaction to Zhao Zhi. It seemed whatever this disciple had to say wasn''t anything good so he agreed to his request.


    The two simultaneously sealed off their spiritual power before talking it out like men but this somewhat calm atmosphere didn''tst long.


    Wen Qinxi deliberately spoke in a roundabout manner like an unskilled storyteller. He mentioned what he was and how he rescued Qie Ranzhe from the jaws of the beast making sure to mention every tiny detail. All except how Qie Xieling came about stalling for time.


    Qie Ranzhe honestly didn''t see thising but he received it well because that''s not what he was mainly interested in. He wanted to know how on earth Qie Xieling came about. It''s not like the kid just suddenly appeared out of thin air like a diety so he asked, "How about Qie Xieling?"


    Wen Qinxi felt his scalp go numb as he downed the entire cup of tea burning his tongue in the process. Qie Ranzhe poured him some water sincerely hoping this man would still be able to speak after burning his tongue.


    "I think I need something stronger to give me the courage. In fact, you will need it too after I am done speaking," exined Wen Qinxi but Qie Ranzhe felt like he was making excuses. Feeling rather impatient he banged the table with his fist expressing his position. This had Wen Qinxi squeaking like a mouse telling him everything.


    "He''s mine.... he''s mine. I gave birth to him," hurriedly confessed Wen Qinxi with a helpless look on his face.


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t say anything for a while, his face changing colours from red to pale to red again in mere seconds. He couldn''t believe it. Thinking that Zhao Zhi was screwing with him again, he chuckled like he had heard the funniest joke of the year. But Zhao Zhi''s expression remained resolute like he hadn''t said something funny at all. Qie Ranzhe''s smile vanished reced with an ice-cold expression making the room a few degrees colder.


    Wen Qinxi felt an overbearing pressure surround him but he didn''t cower like a scared pup exining everything in detail. They were both victims of a calctive person so why should they draw swords in a violent way? The only drawing of swords that would be eptable would be when rolling in between the sheets.


    Once Wen Qinxi was done exining everything that happened that day, he patiently waited for Qie Ranzhe''s response. The man wasn''t looking pretty good right now which had Wen Qinxi worried but he had to say it. He had to speak the truth for the sake of their future more especially their future sexcapades.


    "How, how about the cloaked man, do you know him?" asked Qie Ranzhe feeling flustered. For eighteen years he had held a grudge against the woman who took advantage of him. He had vowed to give the woman a good beating before letting her go but not only was Qie Xieling born from a man but that man was also not human. Staring at Zhao Zhi at this moment he found his limbs were tired and he couldn''t do anything to the man in front of him.


    Having not fully processed this information, Qie Ranzhe decided to shift to another subject matter. He was curious to know why the cloaked man whispered plenty of sweet words to Zhao Zhi when they fought. Okay, it wasn''t exactly a fight. More like Zhao Zhi getting his ass kicked. He couldn''t help but wonder what sort of rtionship they had and if that man was a yao too. He couldn''t seem to understand where the cloaked man fitted in the somewhat chaotic story.


    Sensing Qie Ranzhe''s strange thoughts, Wen Qinxi hurriedly exined. He didn''t want to be misunderstood so he said, "No, I didn''t have that sort of rtionship with that man. Just the thought of him calling me darling makes my skin crawl," as a visible amount of goosebumps appeared on his arm.


    "My father wanted to get rid of me so he.... promised the demon king to hand me over and I was meant to be a gift to his follower, Qie Anzhie," he exined dropping a major piece of the puzzle without warning.


    Soon after, there was the sound of porcin shuttering into pieces which frightened Wen Qinxi. As soon as he heard that name, Qie Ranzhe''s hand clenched into a fist breaking the porcin cup in his hand.


    His hand was bleeding but he didn''t seem to feel it stuck in a daze. He was truly blindsided. This so-called brother of his annihted his entire family overnight so how could he let him live? It was about time he avenged the lives of his loved ones.

 Chapter 426: Fifth World: Be Careful What You Wish For

    Chapter 426: Fifth World: Be Careful What You Wish For


    In the dimly lit room, Wen Qinxiy on his back with his eyes wide open. The dazzling moon had already risen hugh in the sky with its magical rays shining through the curtain but Wen Qinxi found himself unable to sleep thinking too much. He couldn''t even be bothered to admire the beautiful starry night lost in a sea of thoughts.


    Qie Ranzhe seemed to have taken a huge blow from theirst discussion because he hadn''t seen him for seven days straight. The man was obviously somewhere around the Qie sect but Wen Qinxi couldn''t catch even his shadow.


    At first, he thought the man needed to fully digest the information so he gave him some space but he soon discovered that the man was actively avoiding him like he had some kind of infectious disease.


    Fine, it was too much information to digest but this nerd was so anxious. Maybe it was because he knew this was thest world and he wanted to hurry things along but his anxiety resulted in sleepless nights like these.


    What shoulde naturally had turned into a chore that he felt like trying incense sticks so he could fall asleep easily and not wake up in the middle of the night. He was so desperate that he was now considering having Jolie hypnotise him. That''s how bad it was.


    On this night, Wen Qinxi tossed and turned in bed recalling how Qie Ranzhe cut his palm with a broken porcin cup and when he tried to help him, the man shunned him before walking away. He was seriously considering turning back time that is if he had a time machine. Questioning his own decision, he was starting to wish he had built some feelings first before telling the truth but if Qie Xieling knew then it wouldn''t take long for Qie Ranzhe to find out.


    That kid was like him. Under Qie Ranzhe''s instigation, he would spill the beans in full detail. He knew this was the right decision but boy, did it hurt.


    Wen Qinxi turned to sleep at his side in annoyance. ''Damn it!'' he thought before sitting up straight. He was about to ask the system to try this so-called hypnosis when he sensed an unsettling presence in his room.


    His hair stood on end as he scanned the entire room. Whatever it was, it must have been a shadow or a ghost of some kind because Wen Qinxi could feel its presence but couldn''t see it. Sensing something sinister, Wen Qinxi unsheathed magic frost but he found his entire body paralyzed in the very next second.


    Magic frost was distraught unable to move. The shimmering blue light from the sword immediately dimmed before it fell to the ground with a loud ng. At that moment, Wen Qinxi knew he was screwed because the entity had immobilized him in ce.


    A grey shadow exuding dark Qi materialized itself in front of him mockingly. The two-faced each other for a second as though sizing each other up. The arduous evaluation abruptly ended in the very next second when the shadow covered Wen Qinxi''s face.


    Wen Qinxi''s body felt cold as his sight fell into darkness. For a moment, he reasonably thought he was going to die but that wasn''t the shadows intention.


    As soon as Zhao Zhi fell into deep slumber the shadow transformed into a figure of a man with no obvious features. It''s stretched its arms to lift Zhao Zhi and carry him away but just as it lowered its body, the door was suddenly violently kicked open and a man dressed in a ck robe appeared.


    Like dropping a hot potato, the shadow let go of Zhao Zhi''s arms and lunged towards the man to knock him out. But before it could catch a single strand of his hair, it was struck across the chest by a sword that appeared out of nowhere.


    The shadow wailed as it tumbled to the ground while clutching its chest. Face with those vicious cold eyes staring down at it, the shadow decided to take the coward''s way out. It had only aplished half of its task but life preservation was more important.


    Besides, its lord could use this to his advantage as Zhao Zhi would never be able to wake up from his dream without its intervention.


    The shadow dodged the man''s second attack and vanished into thin air just like that. Qie Ranzhe immediately made a hand seal and sent a fierce attack at the now invisible shadow. It might have turned invisible to the naked eye but because of his heightened senses due to his recent breakthrough, he located it as it flew through the window.


    In a fell swoop, he burnt that shadow before itpletely disappeared. How could he let that demon escape unscathed? He then proceeded to check on Zhao Zhi who was lying limp on the bed. He knew what that demon was and what it was capable of. It was the infamous king of dreams but this name in itself was not a true reflection of what it does.


    These so-called dreams were an illusion of the victims deepest desires making it difficult for one toe out of the dream without external influence. This essentially meant that one would be trapped in this illusion while the demon sucked the life out of the victim.


    For one toe out of such a nightmare, there were two usible scenarios. One way was to have the demon release the victim of its own volition which was like asking a python to spit out its dinner after months of hibernation.


    The second method involved sending someone''s sea of consciousness into the dream and break the illusion but that someone had to not only have higher cultivation but also a strong link with the victim. Which could only be described as rare. Even then there was a high probability they would fail.


    He had sensed the presence of this demon in his sect while cultivating in a cave atop the tallest peak in the Qie sect. He had specifically chosen the spot because it was the source of all the positive spiritual energy good for cultivation but it was this exact choice that made him arrive toote. He could have used a teleportation talisman but a certain someone had robbed him clean that he currently didn''t have any left on his person.


    It was this chain of events thatnded Zhao Zhi in this predicament. Qie Ranzhe sent his Qi through the man''s meridians and found nothing seriously wrong apart from eternal sleep. He rubbed his forehead at a loss of what to do.


    The only one he could think of who had the biggest link with Zhao Zhi would be Qie Xieling but the kid was far low in cultivation rank which meant he would fail before even attempting.


    He thought of waiting till Qie Xieling out ranked Zhao Zhi but how many years will that take? By the time the kid achieved that the demon would have already sucked Zhao Zhi dry.

 Chapter 427: Fifth World: Sweetest illusion

    Chapter 427: Fifth World: Sweetest illusion


    Qie Ranzhe retracted his Qi from Zhao Zhi''s body and sat beside him in silence. He peered at the sleeping man while lost in thought. For the past week, he was angered by Zhao Zhi''s confession and couldn''t help but avoid him lest he does something he would regret. But thinking of it now he felt like he was incredibly petty.


    This yao had saved him from the jaws of death and also gave him the most precious gift. Even though his rescue back then was done with hidden intentions, the man still saved him. Whatever happened after was an ident so what was he mad about?


    He couldn''t help but feel like a drama king for throwing an unnecessary fuss. Qie Ranzhe subconsciously reached out with his warm fingers to caress Zhao Zhi''s cheeks which felt so good that he couldn''t bring himself to stop. His fingers moved down to those pink lips which he brushed with his thumb.


    The tingling sensation from touching such an intimate ce was not only felt by him but also the subject of his groping hands. Despite being in a deep sleep, Zhao Zhi chuckled and said, "Ran-ge sto-stop," before falling back into silence.


    These words had him frozen in ce in disarray. There it was again, that name that only ever came out of this man''s lips like they were on familial terms. Everyone from his cousin to hispanions call him sect leader but this outsider dared to call him Ran-ge. He couldn''t understand what kind of backing Zhao Zhi had to call him that when even his closest family member didn''t dare to do such a thing.


    In his vexation, Qie Ranzhe realised something. He must be important to Zhao Zhi which meant he could help him. They had slept together so maybe to him they had an inseparable link. With that in mind, he decided to give it a shot and probe into Zhao Zhi''s illusion.


    While the sect leader was giving it a try, Wen Qinxi was stuck in the world''s sweetest illusion. A dream he wouldn''t want to wake up from. When he opened his eyes, he was back in his old apartment lying in hisfy bed cuddling with a fluffy body pillow.


    As soon as the haze in his eyes cleared up he sat up straight trying to figure out what day it was. He felt there was something very important that he was forgetting but no matter how hard he tried to recall what it was he couldn''t remember.


    Feeling somewhat annoyed, he threw the quilt off the bed and put on his slippers. He was about to go to the bathroom when his cellphone rang from under his pillow. He tossed the pillow aside while scratching his dishevelled head of hair.


    The caller ID was saved as ''Dan-didi'' and a don''t answer notification, presumably set by him. It was none other than Wen Danzhe possibly trying to lure him out of hisyer as usual.


    He swiped the green button and said, "I am so fuckin busy."


    Wen Danzhe, "...."


    "Oh I see, now that you have a fuckin boyfriend you forget your little brother. Shiiitttt.... keep ignoring me and I will tell on you," he said in a teasing tone.


    Wen Qinxi''s brow creased slightly before recalling Qie Ranzhe but something didn''t seem right. He began to probe deeper into his memories but Wen Danzhe brought him back to the conversation. It was almost like something was deliberately stopping him from digging into that gut feeling by distracting him.


    "Hey, I was just messing with you. But seriously, let''s hang out. I need a good wingman tonight," exined Wen Danzhe thinking Wen Qinxi was angry.


    Wen Qinxi smiled hearing this and said, "Fine, send me the details," while walking to the bathroom.


    "Ah, dage is so fuckin awesome. I will send you a fat red envelope at my wedding. Oh.... by the way, aren''t you supposed to be at work? It''s already eight," asked Wen Danzhe after hearing the shuffling sound of slippers.


    Wen Qinxi took the cellphone off his ears and his eyes widened as he saw what day it was. It was Friday and here he was walkingckadaisically in his apartment. "Oh shit! I am so fuckinte," he said before tossing the phone beside the sink to wash up frantically.


    Wen Danzhe heard the hurried scuffles at the other end of the line so he said, "You are dating the boss anyway so why are you panicking. Just give him some candy on his office desk and he would forgive your sins, hahaha..... hello, Qi-ge. Can you hear me?" Because the cell phone wasn''t on loudspeaker, Wen Qinxi didn''t hear him.


    He ran out of the bathroom in a frenzy after brushing his teeth and picked up whatever piece of clothing he could find. He dressed at light speed and picked up his keys andptop bag before rushing towards the door.


    He didn''t even notice how messed up his hair was as he turned the door lock. Wen Qinxi swung the door open only to be stopped by a sturdy figure. Dressed in a slim fit navy suit and a pair of polished oxford shoes was the man of his dreams.


    Wen Qinxi raised his head to look at his face with high expectations. To his surprise, Qie Ranzhe was holding his cellphone which was on loudspeaker while peering at him.


    "Sorry, the number you have dialled is busy at the moment. Please try againter....," was the sound of the automated telmunicationdy followed by a beeping sound indicating the end of the call.


    "I....," was all Wen Qinxi could say before Qie Ranzhe passed the threshold of the apartment forcing Wen Qinxi to walk backwards.


    "Your number seems busy.... who were you talking to this early instead of being at work?" asked Qie Ranzhe while cing his hand against the wall trapping his target in ce.


    Wen Qinxi had ceased moving a long time ago because he had hit the wall behind him. Now he was trapped in a corner with a wall on his right side and Qie Ranzhe''s hand on the other.


    "What? Cat''s got your tongue," said Qie Ranzhe with a smirk on his face. He reached out to touch Wen Qinxi''s drawstrings from the man''s hoodie. Qie Ranzhe yed with the strings with his slender fingers while waiting for his boyfriend to answer.


    Wen Qinxi was so stupefied that he couldn''t utter a single word. There was definitely something very wrong with this situation but he couldn''t think straight with his heart beating as loud as a drum. His beating heart wasn''t his only drawback in this matter because Qie Ranzhe leaned down in the next second and nted a passionate kiss on the nerd''s soft lips.


    Wen Qinxi, ''Fuck!''

    Chapter 428: Fifth World: Invasion Of The Nerd''s Privacy


    In a cold stone pce surrounded by a dead forest obstructed by a sinister fog, a cloaked man kowtowed on the floor saluting his master seated on the throne. This man was none other than Qie Anzhie, a man ridden with delirious thoughts enabled by his master.


    "Master, I took care of it as you asked me to. The lord of the seas, rivers andkes will soon fall," he exined with an eerie smirk that could send chills down one''s spine. It seemed everything was going as nned all except attaining Zhao Zhi. His master hadpensated him with a yao to increase his cultivation but it wasn''t enough.


    He still lusted over that merman prince''s body and the power he would gain after ruining such a beauty. But since Zhao Zhi couldn''t remember anything, his true power wasn''t awakened which would be pointless to use him as a human cauldron under the current circumstance.


    This was the reason he let the Zhao sect leader watch him and he would retrieve him when he found a way to restore his memories. But now things had changed. Zhao Zhi was no longer in sect leader Zhao''s hands but his half brother. He had to get that yao back otherwise his brother might take advantage and reap his benefits.


    Little did he know the seed was sown and the first harvest taken almost two decades ago. One can only imagine what he would do when he finds out his brother robbed that v-card ages ago.


    "Rise!" said the sinister demon king as he reached out for a goblet filled with suspicious-looking red liquid with his ghostly pale hands. The demon king raised the goblet towards his dark purple lips and gulped down the blood he drained from a mermaid he recently defiled.


    The still-warm liquid flowed down his throat with his body greedily absorbing the majestic power that came with it. A sly smile crept up his face as the blood quenched his thirst for power. He opened his reddened eyes and said, "I want the blood of the merman king. After my blood infuses with his body he would be ready for harvest so prepare yourself."


    Qie Anzhie was about to respond when a shadow appeared in the old pce at lightning speed. It shot past them and crushed straight into a pir creating a huge dent. The shadow finally showed its true form while cursing as it struggled to put out the fire on its garments.


    "Lo-lord please, please help. I can''t put it out, I can''t," he said rolling in the ground but it was pointless. These mes seemed infinite with no end. After Qie Ranzhe attacked him he realised he had underestimated that sect leader. Just because his sect was a baby whenpared to the other righteous sects it didn''t mean their leader was weak.


    The demon king stretched out his fingers with ck nails and made a fist instantly putting out the fire. The demon kowtowed incessantly while shouting, "Thank you, thank you, thank you my Lord," trembling from his terrifying ordeal.


    It was only then that Qie Anzhie realised the demon was alone with Zhao Zhi nowhere in sight. Angered by the demon''s ipetency, he walked over andnded a powerful kick at the demon''s chest with a loud roar, "Where is he?!" The demon didn''t see thating flying across the room from that one powerful kick. Hended on the ground with a loud thud before coughing up a mouthful of blood.


    Just when he thought he would catch a break, Qie Anzhie stormed over in his direction with bloodthirsty eyes. Sensing the irrefutable killing intenting from Qie Anzhie he couldn''t help but crawl over to his Lord in fright while pleading, "My Lord... AAAAAAHHHHH!!!" A blood-curdling scream echoed through the empty pce when Qie Anzhie kicked the demon in the stomach sending him flying once more but this time the kick was much more fierce than the former making the demon curl up into a ball as he silently groaned.


    "Enough," said the demon king as he sat the empty goblet on the armrest of his throne. He then called out to the demon saying, "Yin Ying, tell me what happened."


    The demon called Yin Ying concealed his grievances and crawled over to his Lord, looking extremely pitiful. He then stuttered, "This servant made him sle-sleep but before I could bring him to, to my Lord I was attacked. This ser-servant failed..... Punish me as you see fit, my Lord."


    Qie Anzhie clenched his fists seething in anger but what else could he do? His brother had cheated him again. What else did he expect from a man that cheated death time and time again?


    "Haha ha, they can''t wake him up without me. My Lord can ckmail that sect leader into handing Zhao Zhi over. No one apart from me can break the illusion," said Yin Ying pleased with himself.


    The demon king didn''t say anything but Qie Anzhie did. He strode over making the terrified demon crawl backwards on his butt but it was pointless. He couldn''t run away.


    Qie Anzhie easily caught up with him and crouched down before him. He reached out to wipe the blood from the corner of the demon''s lips saying, "Show me," his attitudepletely different from before which was even more terrifying.


    The demon watched in horror as the man licked the blood with great enthusiasm like he was tasting something delicious. This man had to have something wrong with his brain otherwise why would he do such an unsightly thing?


    Seeing that the demon was stuck in a trance, he yelled, "Show me!"


    Yin Ying looked over to the demon king who nodded at him permitting him and so the demon sat in a lotus position and showed Qie Anzhie what he wanted to see.


    While these two were invading his most intimate privacy, Wen Qinxi was being kissed till he was breathless. This was what he wanted something he had been looking forward to. But at this moment he couldn''t shake off the feeling that something was wrong.


    The feeling grew stronger and stronger as the passionate kiss intensified with Qie Ranzhe''s awakened member stabbing into his thigh. Qie Ranzhe''s hands moved down to his waist before lifting the hem of his t-shirt to explore underneath. It was then that Wen Qinxi decided to stop before things went too far.


    He parted his lips from Qie Ranzhe with his head tilted to the side. Qie Ranzhe didn''t seem to catch the hint kissing the man''s neck like a hungry beast. The urge to possess this man was so strong that he didn''t immediately realise something was wrong.


    Wen Qinxi lightly pushed him away while saying, "Let''s, let''s go to work. I have an urgent project." He didn''t even wait to hear Qie Ranzhe''s response before stepping out of the door. The CEO was especially dissatisfied pulling Wen Qinxi''s hand drawing him back into his embrace.

    Chapter 429: Fifth World: Holster Your Weapon Mr Qie


    "Baby, why are you treating me like this? Are you just going to leave without taking care of it?" asked Qie Ranzhe shamelessly grinding his hard object on Wen Qinxi''s abdomen.


    Wen Qinxi felt his entire body heat up with his face flushed in embarrassment. Right now they were outside in the corridor and this man was openly seducing him. What if someone saw? He had this burning desire to just push the man back into his apartment and do all sorts of nasty things but this overwhelming gut feeling held him back.


    He felt that if he indulged himself he would be trapped. This was true. If Wen Qinxi indulged himself it would make it hard for Qie Ranzhe to break the illusion because Wen Qinxi might not be willing to leave after getting the sweet taste of honey. Of course, he didn''t know he was in an illusion but his senses were still as sharp shielding him from harm.


    "You better holster your weapon Mr Qie otherwise you won''t getid ever again," he said while pushing Qie Ranzhe''s chest with his index finger. He then walked away while tossing the apartment keys to the stupefied Qie Ranzhe. "Lock the apartment while you are at it," he said as he reached the elevator.


    Qie Ranzhe watched him unt his perky butt like a prideful cat. This little thing was surprisingly heartless. Wen Qinxi provoked him only to leave him hanging high and dry with no relief. For the first time in his life, this CEO had the privilege to experience what the Millenials call blue balls.


    He locked the apartment and walked over to the elevator while covering up his arousal in a weird posture. The two got into the elevator and stood side by side. Wen Qinxi noticed his man''s difort as a Duchenne smile crept up his face.


    "I see you found pleasure in my misfortune," said Qie Ranzhe when he saw that smile that reached Wen Qinxi''s eyes. This vixen was so mean.


    Wen Qinxi covered his mouth with his hand and said, "You should have known not to start shit on a workday...." He then took out his cell phone and tapped on it a few times to open his browser.


    He searched for an AV with a very old couple and said, "Here," while showing Qie Ranzhe the screen.


    As expected, Qie Ranzhe''s little brother softened in an instant as he looked away in displeasure. "Ah, seriously? Baby, that''s so fuckin wrong,"ined Qie Ranzhe without even noticing that his junior brother had softened.


    "Why would you even show me that?" he asked feeling aggrieved.


    Wen Qinxi closed the browser and said, "Your bird seems to understand why. How about you ask him," while eyeing the man below the belt.


    Only then did Qie Ranzhe understand. He didn''t know whether tough or cry peering at his scheming partner.


    The elevator doors opened on the ground floor and the two of them strolled out walking side by side. Qie Ranzhe opened the passenger door of his ck jeep and led Wen Qinxi in by the waist.


    He then walked around and took the driver''s seat before driving off towards hispany. Wen Qinxi clutched the seat belt Qie Ranzhe had buckled for him while ogling at the love of his life.


    He bit his lower lip with lust-filled eyes that Qie Ranzhe caught a glimpse of through his peripheral view. This little vixen had just refused him ten minutes ago yet he was now directing such an irresistible gaze at him.


    "Ahem... Baby, if you keep looking at me like that I will get hard," said Qie Ranzhe as he gently stepped on the brake to stop at the traffic light that had turned red.


    Wen Qinxi looked away with his ears slowly turning red. He swallowed some saliva trying to moisten his dry throat and said, "Then I will show you that AV again.... haha." He lightly chuckled while taking out his cellphone only to be stopped by Qie Ranzhe.


    "Uh, no thanks. Once was enough," replied Qie Ranzhe with a light chuckle. He was afraid if he sees that AV one more time he might have trouble getting hard in the future.


    Wen Qinxi pretended to struggle while saying, "We will get this old someday so does it mean you won''t get down and dirty with me because everything is sagging? Are you that superficial?" while chuckling like a teenager teasing his crush.


    "I can''t look at them but I would always get hard watching you no matter how old you are especially when you re at me like that. How can I not get hard?" replied Qie Ranzhe before biting his lower lip like a thirsty lustful beast.


    Wen Qinxi covered his mouth with his fingers whileughing. If he had known how kinky his boss was he might not have applied for the job at GameX. Now he was influenced by him with his mind thinking of immoral things to do to his boss day in and day out.


    Honk! Honk!


    These were the sounds of cars honking and hooting behind them. One motorist went as far as flicking them off as he drove away angrily. The two of them watched the car drive away and when they looked at each other they couldn''t help butugh.


    "Pfft.... how do you manage to piss off people everywhere you go?" said Wen Qinxiughing his ass off.


    Qie Ranzhe drove off while saying, "Sorry, it''s all my wife''s fault. He red at me and I got hard. I couldn''t help myself."


    Wen Qinxi couldn''t help lightly pping his arm while saying, "You better not fuckin say that at thepany otherwise, I will quit."


    While Wen Qinxi was enjoying the sweetest dream ever, Qie Ranzhe wasn''t fairing well. When he entered Zhao Zhi''s sea of consciousness he was stuck walking on a long narrow passage. It felt like he had been walking for hours but all he could see was a vast of white and nothing else.


    At this point, he was starting to get tired seriously considering quitting. He couldn''t understand why Zhao Zhi''s mind resembled an infinite desert. This didn''t make sense. He was beginning to question his decision. Maybe this wasn''t a good idea after all.


    What he didn''t know was that the system got such a fright seeing Qie Ranzhe waltzing into Wen Qinxi''s mind without warning. Thinking it should deter Qie Ranzhe from intruding on this private space, it screwed with him from a distance not daring to show itself. Who would have expected Qie Ranzhe to be relentless walking none stop?


    After letting him walk for eight hours straight, the system realised there was nothing it could do to stop Qie Ranzhe and let him go ahead otherwise the CEO would overexert his strength and the consequences for that were unknown

 Chapter 430: Fifth World: Jolie Talks To Boss One

    Chapter 430: Fifth World: Jolie Talks To Boss One


    Qie Ranzhe could clearly resonate with the saying a friend in need is a friend indeed otherwise why else would he put up with Zhao Zhi''s chaotic mind that resembled a nk piece of paper. Or maybe he was helping not because he is a friend but because of Qie Xieling. That kid would probably throw a temper tantrum and me him if anything happened to Zhao Zhi.


    With this thought in mind, Qie Ranzhe came up with a reasonable excuse why he would work this hard to bring Zhao Zhi out off his mental prison. Vowing to settle ounts with himter, Qie Ranzhe kept on going.


    Just when he thought he was going to copse from all the mental exhaustion the once nk corridor walls suddenly began to exhibit vivid moving murals. From what Qie Ranzhe could see, these images must have been Zhao Zhi''s memories.


    It was like storytelling in a much vivid way with detailed illustrations of Zhao Zhi''s life from thebyrinth or realm which he called home for half his life. Qie Ranzhe couldn''t help but being mesmerised by Zhao Zhi''s majestic appearance as a merman. He was like an enchanting beauty with the ability to bewitch mortal souls.


    Unable to control himself, Qie Ranzhe reached out and traced the entire length of Zhao Zhi''s beautiful merman tail with his eyes brimming with infatuation. He might have no interest in the same sex but he had the strongest urge to build a ginormous fish tank and keep Zhao Zhi all to himself to raise him.


    While Qie Ranzhe was having such messed up thoughts the mural suddenly changed showing the pathetic excuse of a father trying to hurt Zhao Zhi. ''What a scum bag,'' he thought before moving on to the next.


    The next two murals detailed how Zhao Zhi took up arms with his mother to defend their fort and stop the demon from entering their kingdom. The yao was especially brave going against his father despite being iparable in terms of strength.


    Qie Ranzhe''s eyes shone with admiration but he soon took back his praise when he saw Zhao Zhi turning a blind eye to the onughter of the Qie family while fortifying the barrier on the water surface. He knew the man wasn''t a saint and he didn''t owe them anything but he couldn''t help but wish Zhao Zhi had intervened earlier.


    Unable to watch anymore, he moved on and saw the moment Zhao Zhi saved him and dragged him underwater. Feeling a sense of survivor''s guilt, Qie Ranzhe wished Zhao Zhi had saved his mother instead of him. Feeling rather emotional he moved on only to have his face turn as red as cherries a few murals down.


    This was the night of passion that resulted in his little bundle of joy, Qie Xieling. As it turned out, he was the one that attacked first lunging at him like a starved beast. There was nothing more embarrassing than watching oneself do this and that with someone. The scity in his eyes made him seem like the vice of lechery or a horny bastard inyman''s terms.


    But just because he wanted to bury his head in shame like an ostrich, it didn''t mean he stopped watching. He found that he couldn''t take his eyes away watching to the very end.


    The consequence of that was a surge of heating from his lower half. If it weren''t that he was in Zhao Zhi''s mind, he would have taken care of it immediately. Imagining how inappropriate it would be to jerk off in someone''s mind, Qie Ranzhe moved on walking away in an awkward posture.


    As to how he felt about getting aroused by watching himself thrusting into another man, he couldn''t bother thinking about it right now. Ever since he met Zhao Zhi it seemed his three views were forming cracks despite how many times he tried to fix it. It was a hopeless case.


    Qie Ranzhe felt a sense of uneasiness as he watched how he was caught by Zhao Zhi''s mother after having ravished her son to an unconscious state.


    Those lewd bite marks and hickeys had him unable to look. He truly deserved what followed after because if it were him who had walked into such a situation with his son looking like that he would have killed someone.


    He was truly grateful that he didn''t leave that realm in a body bag. Zhao Zhi''s mother was merciful enough to let him walk out with his spiritual root intact.


    What he didn''t know was that it was Qie Xieling who saved his life. When the queen decided not to kill Qie Xieling she naturally needed someone to watch him. Her kingdom wasn''t safe for the little fry so she decided to let Qie Ranzhe leave scot-free with the minimum punishment.


    Qie Ranzhe walked over to the end of the corridor and found two different doors. One was a light shade of red while the other one was a sealed iron door. One look and he could tell he won''t be able to open the iron door and reveal what was on the other side but he was so drawn to it like nails drawn to a ma. Unable to extricate himself from his obsession, he began to attempt to break down the door.


    Unfortunately for him, he didn''t have any of his spiritual power in here. It was like his cultivation was sealed off the moment he entered Zhao Zhi''s consciousness which is why he was so exhausted after walking for so long. He was like a mere mortal which he disliked very much.


    The sect leader attempted to kick down the door but it only resulted in him hurting his leg. The iron door remained unscathed like an imprable force but he couldn''t help it. He felt like there was something very important on the other side and he won''t give up unless he opened it.


    Just as he was about tond another blow, a tougher sheet of tungsten materialized in front of him further fortifying the iron door making it even harder for him to break in. Qie Ranzhe''s eyes turned cold at this sight wondering what Zhao Zhi was hiding.


    "Ahem.... that''s extremely private. You, you can''t enter in there. No, no unauthorised personnel," said the system afraid that the CEO will see things he is not supposed to see especially things from the other worlds or the real world. That iron door was there for a purpose but who would have expected this CEO not to choose the easy red door and go after an iron fortress.


    Feeling somewhat anxious, the system intensified security and sacrificed itself despite the fact that it was scared shitless.


    Qie Ranzhe turned around only to find no one there. To be frank, he was vexed but what puzzled him the most was the fact that this voice was familiar to him. He had heard this voice before but he couldn''t ce a face to the voice. Qie Ranzhe casually folded his arms across his chest and said, "How about you show yourself.... unless you are scared."

 Chapter 431: Fifth World: Qie Ranzhe Vs Qie Anzhie 2

    Chapter 431: Fifth World: Qie Ranzhe Vs Qie Anzhie 2


    Of course, the system was terrified but it would never admit it. If there was one human it was afraid of, it would be this CEO. Its first encounter with Qie Ranzhe was cordial until he began to nitpick at all the AI''s insecurities.


    Granted it wasn''t on purpose as he was instructing the team to fix a few things but still. It felt an incredible sense of crisis that this boss would erase it if it didn''t perform well so the poor system had to put 110% effort to perform twenty years ahead of its time.


    "You don''t dare do you?" asked Qie Ranzhe looking down at his nails while waiting for the voice to show itself.


    Sensing someone''s intrusion the system plucked up its courage and said, "Boss, *ahem.... boss one," recalling it also called Wen Qinxi by that name, "you have other things to worry about so prepare yourself."


    Just as the system said this, Qie Anzhie appeared in the space wearing that hideous cloak as usual. There was no exchange of pleasantries or a dramatic war on words as they went straight for it beating each other up. Like two siblings fighting over their favourite toy, the two brawled with fists.


    Neither of them could use their spiritual power which meant this fight was a test of physical strength. Qie Anzhie was undoubtedly swift in dodging but this couldn''t save him from his older half brother''s fighting skills. The man was not only stronger than him but he was also smarter than him which meant Qie Anzhie was at a disadvantage.


    Qie Ranzhe dodged Qie Anzhie''s attack aimed at his face and swept the younger man''s legs which brought him to the ground with a loud thud. Qie Ranzhe didn''t hold back in the slightest grabbing Qie Anzhie by the cor while throwing two fierce punches on his eye.


    Qie Anzhie raised his hand and tried to eye poke Qie Ranzhe attempting to blind him. Qie Ranzhe saw thising so he grabbed Qie Anzhie''s neck and lifted him up before mming him on the ground performing a perfect chokem. If only Wen Qinxi knew these people were wrestling in his mind he would be angered to death.


    Qie Ranzhe then proceeded to ce his knee on Qie Anzhie''s throat making the system jeer in excitement forgetting itself. Only the heavens know the consequences of it revealing itself to Qie Ranzhe.


    "Ah hahahaha..... break his leg boss one. Better yet break his third leg that ought to teach him not to lust over Qi-ge," said the system exhrated but it soon kept its mouth shut when Qie Ranzhe somewhat urately located its exact position ring at it with those chilling eyes.


    The system had been too stimted to notice it had said the name Qi-ge instead of Zhi-ge. Qie Ranzhe heard it but he was too focused on his brother to question this thing in the form of a little girl.


    Yes, despite the system being invisible Qie Ranzhe could now clearly see it.


    His consciousness had already infiltrated gship''s vastwork taking charge which is why Wen Qinxi couldn''t get out of the game in the first ce neither could hemunicate with the outside world for three worlds straight. This meant the system wasn''t an exception though this didn''t necessarily mean Qie Ranzhe understood what was going on.


    Qie Anzhie''s face turned red while trying to remove Qie Ranzhe''s knee that was choking him which was simply a futile attempt. "Why pick a fight you are obviously going to lose, xiao-didi (little brother)?" asked Qie Ranzhe with his knee almost crashing the man''srynx.


    "We haven''t seen each other for decades so how about you show your brother what you look like now," said Qie Ranzhe reaching for that hood that never seemed toe off in a fight. It was as though it was being held in ce by safety pins or something.


    "No, no, get the fuck off me," said an anxious Qie Anzhie who was panicking like a pig off to ughter. He fought to keep the hood on but he wasn''t Qie Ranzhe''s match. The older man easily pulled down the hood only to reveal an ashen face with a deep long scar on his cheek.


    This was the scar from the day his mother attacked him. He had been hiding it because it made him feel inferior. Feeling vulnerable and exposed in front of his enemy had Qie Anzhie angered to the point of being aggressive.


    His older half brother always surpassed him in everything apart from looks where they were somewhat equalled but this scar downgraded him making him lose to his brother in every aspect.


    Ignoring his own strengths he spent more timeparing himself to his brother. Such are the consequences of his mother''s constant scolding andparisons affecting his mental health.


    It was for this reason he sacrificed everything and wouldn''t rest till Qie Ranzhe was six feet under. But who would have thought he would still be losing to Qie Ranzhe till now?


    "Why did you have to take things that far? Didn''t mother treat you well despite everything so why kill her? Why kill all those servants, uh? Was your conscience eaten by fuckin dogs or something?" said Qie Ranzhe with his voiceced with pained undertones. He couldn''t understand why his half brother turned out to be a heartless creature that crawled out of hell.


    Sensing Qie Ranzhe''s emotional fluctuations, Qie Anzhie''s lips quirked up in an eerie smile with blood seeping out of his mouth and nose. Combined with his bruise red-eye, Qie Anzhie looked especially terrifying.


    "Dage, of course, it''s because I want to destroy everyone and everything you love.... hahaha, it''s such a pity that you cheated death back then. Now that you chose to live it means your death will be a hundred times painful. What is my worthless nephew''s name again? Ah, Xieling..... I will make sure you watch as I skin him alive before tossing him in a pit of fir-," said Qie Anzhie before he was pped into an unconscious state by a backhanded p from Qie Ranzhe.


    The moment Qie Anzhie fell unconscious, his form vanished drawn out of Zhao Zhi''s mind by the demon Yin Ying. Qie Anzhie opened his eyes and threw the poor demon towards the wall. "AAAAAAHHHHHH!" he screamed in anger with purple veins bulging on his neck, "Haha hahaha..... you might have fuckin won the battle but you will never fuckin win the war brother..... hahaha ha hahaha," he said followed by sinisterughter that had the demon feeling fearful for his life. This human was fuckin crazy.


    ''Such fuckin terrible luck. I don''t even get fuckin paid for this shit,'' thought Yin Ying while questioning his life choices.

 Chapter 432: Fifth World: Qinxi The Kept Nerd

    Chapter 432: Fifth World: Qinxi The Kept Nerd


    While the two half-siblings were waging war against each other inside his mind Wen Qinxi was struggling to keep calm under his colleagues'' gazes. If he had known things would end this way, he would have just stayed at home and let Qie Ranzhe do whatever he pleased. At least they would have been confined to the four walls of the apartment with no prying eyes.


    But it was already toote and there was no use in crying over spilt milk. Wen Qinxi could literally feel people''s gazes boring into his skin. Recalling the rumours that circted when he first joined thepany, Wen Qinxi couldn''t help but slide down his car seat to avoid people''s stares.


    They hadn''t even exited the car but they were already subjected to onlookers'' scrutiny. That''s because Qie Ranzhe''s car was too eye-catching and everyone knew that was their boss''s car. Apart from the driver, Li Menxie and Qie Ranzhe himself no one else had had the privilege of apanying the boss on a drive all except the reclused nerd, Wen Qinxi.


    As soon as Qie Ranzhe parked the car in the square in front of GameX, he drew the attention of his employees. GameX was apany that permitted their employees to work in creative spaces which meant one wasn''t confined to a 14 square meter space cubicle. One could work in the canteen, on a hammock, ball chair or the garden in the square as long as they brought results that''s all that mattered.


    This unconventional office setting brought about great results. But it was for this reason that Wen Qinxi realised the w in the n which was no matter what time of the day it was, there would always be people around the square and they saw him pull up with the boss. In any other normal office environment at this hour, themon areas would be empty but not at GameX.


    It seemed after this the rumours would graduate from a tiny me to a zing California fire in a matter of seconds. "Shit!" he thought sliding down in an awkward posture while looking up to the car window.


    Qie Ranzhe raised a brow peering at his weirdo boyfriend sliding down like he owed someone money. "What? Did you borrow money from a loan shark to y online mahjong?" he asked in a teasing tone. He had caught Wen Qinxi ying online a couple of times but it wasn''t a serious issue because they would be betting anime figurines and manga but his reaction now had him suspicious.


    "What? No, no, that''s not it... it''s, it''s just thatozi is not a fuckin kept man," replied Wen Qinxi while peeking through the window. "Can you drop me off at the coffee shop one street over and I will walk back," he said finally turning to look at his boyfriend who didn''t seem pleased by his request.


    Qie Ranzhe was denied ess, shown a weird AV and now he was being shunned all in one morning. This triple kill was too much for the CEO and he wasn''t the type to fold easily. "You look suspicious now. Just act natural and no one will care," exined Qie Ranzhe unbuckling his seat belt before cing his hand on the door handle.


    "Yeah right, like I would believe that..... wait, wait what are you doing?" asked Wen Qinxi when he saw his shameless boss opening the door, "Shit! You could have dropped me off elsewhere.... damn it."


    Thest part of his sentence was said while watching Qie Ranzhe walk around the car towards his door. Qie Ranzhe walked over to his window and knocked while threatening, "Are you going toe out or you are waiting for me to open the door for you? I wonder what sort of things they would say when they watch me open the car door for you."


    Defeated, Wen Qinxi opened the door while grumbling, "Okay, okay fine. No need to take things that far," before walking over to the boot of the car to get hisptop bag.


    He tried to reduce his presence striding towards the elevator to get away from people''s prying eyes. But as long as Qie Ranzhe was by his side there was no way of avoiding it. There was no use fighting the inevitable.


    The two men walked shoulder to shoulder towards the elevator maintaining a calm demeanour. Who knows what was going on in Qie Ranzhe''s mind but the nerd was panicked and as soon as the elevator doors closed a huge wave of relief washed over him.


    But that sense of relief was short-lived because Qie Ranzhe pressed the emergency button bringing the elevator to a steady stop. He then pressed Wen Qinxi against the wall and began to kiss him like a thirsty beast that had just found an oasis.


    Ripples of sensational delirium spread all over Wen Qinxi''s body at the touch of their lips. This was what he desired the most and Qie Ranzhe could satisfy his needs so why would he hold back? He enthusiastically wrapped his arms around Qie Ranzhe''s neck as a subtle moan escaped his throat.


    As though driven insane by this man''s enthusiasm, Qie Ranzhe held either side of Wen Qinxi''s waist drawing him closer till their bodies stuck together. His already calm member couldn''t resist the stimtion standing as straight as a ramrod. It was obvious what he wanted. He wanted to im his lover right now right here.


    Qie Ranzhe''s hands found their way under Wen Qinxi''s clothes fondling and caressing the man''s hot skin. He had only meant to express his dissatisfaction towards Wen Qinxi for refusing to be seen with him but things quickly escted to something else. Something more exciting. He wanted to turn Wen Qinxi over and fuck him so hard till he couldn''t remember his own name.


    But this was an elevator after all so he couldn''t defile his lover here at least not in broad daylight. He also didn''t want anyone to see his lover''s enticing body through the camera so he held back.


    But Wen Qinxi on the other hand was so intoxicated losing himself to his desires while repressing the terrible gut feeling that kept jabbing at him ceaselessly. He wanted to be fucked so bad that he couldn''t help but grind against the man''s hardened member.


    "Hello, is there anyone there? Its elevator maintenance. Ahem.... is there an emergency?" said a croaky voiceing from the speaker attached to the elevator panel.


    Qie Ranzhe stopped kissing Wen Qinxi to the nerd''s disappointment and straightened his lover''s clothes. Qie Ranzhe embraced Wen Qinxi in a tight hug as he replied, "We are good. No need to worry," before pressing the button to restart the elevator. Qie Ranzhe theny his head in the crevice of Wen Qinxi''s neck taking in his scent while tightening his hug.


    "I love you, baby," he whispered melting the nerd''s heart into a puddle. Just as he said this, the elevator made a dinging sound letting its upants know that their private time was over.


    Wen Qinxi quickly got out of Qie Ranzhe''s embrace and feigned calmness while straightening his clothes but he couldn''t conceal those swollen lips and shaky legs.

    Chapter 433: Fifth World: Jolie''s Vow Of Silence


    He cleared his throat and said, "I, I will be going," in hesitant steps while gripping the strap of hisptop bag.


    "En," replied Qie Ranzhe while licking his bottom lip while ogling at him as though eyeing his prey.


    Wen Qinxi walked out of the elevator while asionally ncing backwards. It was for this reason that he didn''t look where he was going and ended up bumping into a transparent ss wall for a conference room along the corridor.


    "Look... ah," said Qie Ranzhe but his warning came toote as Wen Qinxi walked straight into the ss wall with a loud bang attracting the attention of the employees having a meeting inside.


    Like a fly that identally ran into a windshield of a car, Wen Qinxi''s face was stered to the ss making the employees snicker.


    "Fuck!" he swore before looking back to the elevator, "I am fine." Qie Ranzhe looked like he was about toe over so he waved him off before scurrying away rubbing his forehead. It had to be said that this genius was made stupid by love.


    ***


    Meanwhile, the sect leader was having it out with the system probing it on what was behind the iron door but the system remained tight-lipped taking the vow of silence. If Qie Ranzhe gained ess to all of Wen Qinxi''s memories then they were both screwed. Everything would possibly copse and the consequences would be severe.


    They had already been arguing for ten minutes now but the system remained resolute even though it was so afraid of this man. "Even if I had the ability to open the door for you, it doesn''t necessarily mean Qin.... ahem, Zhi-ge would let you in. Just, just open the red door and find him before he seals the deal with an illusion," said the system feeling like it had the hardest job in the world.


    A smart toilet was starting to look good right now. At least it wouldn''t have to deal with a terrifying existence. Okay fine, maybe a smart toilet was a bit much. Let''s say vacuum bot. At least it would be cleaning up after pets and messy kids.


    "Okay, I understand," he said but the tone was incredibly menacing that one would think the system had robbed baby Lin Lin''s candy and Qie Ranzhe was retaliating as a father. "But why do you keep calling him Qi-ge? How about you tell me and I will keep it to myself but if you don''t I will tell Zhao Zhi that you told me everything."


    "You!...," said the system devoid of words to reprimand this shameless boss. Forget it, it would rather be falsely used than sell out Wen Qinxi. With this in mind, it performed its worst disappearing act yet and abandoned Qie Ranzhe with no remorse.


    Qie Ranzhe saw the system disappear but he didn''t try and stop it. It would be good to use this to his advantage and have Zhao Zhi spilling his guts out. All he would have to say to him is, "The voice in your head told me everything," and he would get the answers he needed.


    Qie Ranzhe took onest look at the iron door before walking towards the red door. As expected the door opened with ease revealing a strange world that felt familiar to him. It was a peculiar ce different from his world with people dressed in weird clothes. Everything about this ce was odd but Qie Ranzhe didn''t focus on this.


    He expected Zhao Zhi''s deepest desire was bing the next Lord of the seas, rivers andkes but he was way off. Zhao Zhi''s deepest desire was to be in this strange ce. Qie Ranzhe realised the people within the illusion couldn''t see him so he bypassed them looking for Zhao Zhi.


    While Qie Ranzhe was getting lost in his ownpany, Wen Qinxi was sitting in his office unable to concentrate. He found that he couldn''t settle down as an itchy feeling spread all over his body. No, it wasn''t heat rash or smallpox, it was the kind of itch sexual in nature.


    He couldn''t help but shake the feeling that he hadn''t been satisfied in a long time and he wouldn''t be able to concentrate on work unless he released some pressure in his lower half. Unable to hold back any longer, he took the nearest folder and left his office.


    One can only guess where he was going. He was going to find his man and take care of some private business. Wen Qinxi rushed to catch up with the elevator and pressed the button for the executive floor earning him odd looks from the two people in the elevator.


    These people were from a different team in his department which meant he didn''t interact with them apart from polite greetings. The girl called Yi Fei asionally took a nce at him seeming hesitant to say something. Her colleague eyed her from the corner of his mouth as though trying to tell her to stay out of it but she didn''t care.


    "Senior Qi, would you like to join us at the canteenter for lunch?" she asked with her index finger pressed nervously on her bottom lip.


    Wen Qinxi seemed rather surprised but didn''t show it on his face as he responded. "Maybe tomorrow. Today I am on a tight schedule," he said wondering why she made such an offer out of the blue. Apart from his team Wen Qinxi barely interacted with anyone more especially because of the rumours that sprung up when he started working.


    What he didn''t know was that whoever started the rumour was a former schoolmate who knew a secret from high school. Anyway, that''s a story for another day.


    Yi Fei Fei seemed disappointed but she simply nodded her head in agreement. She didn''t believe the rumours but when she heard the boss and Wen Qinxi came to work together she decided to get closer to him though her intentions weren''t exactly clear.


    The elevator stopped dropping off the two people first. It was at this moment that the vexed sect leader caught sight of Zhao Zhi through the open elevator doors. He tried to call for him but Zhao Zhi didn''t hear him with the elevator doors shutting.


    Wen Qinxi was too preupied staring nkly at the folder in his hand. He leaned against the elevator wall lost in thought. His heart was unsettled but his urge to see Qie Ranzhe was so intense that he couldn''t even think straight. So as those elevator doors opened, he took the special elevator which he now had ess to and reached Qie Ranzhe''s floor in no time.


    Li Menxie wasn''t at her desk so he walked past with no hindrances knocking on the CEO''s open office door. As soon as Qie Ranzhe saw him, he smiled foolishly waving him in. Li Menxie was busy handing over a report and when she saw Wen Qinxi she showed a look of disdain but it was pointless as she was ignored.


    "You may leave," said Qie Ranzhe to his executive assistant in an imperative tone. His lover had taken the initiative toe to his office and he intended to take full advantage of it.


    "And close the door while you are at it," he said just as Li Menxie walked out without closing the door. He suddenly felt his assistant was growing a tail that was long overdue for some trimming

 Chapter 434: Fifth World: Qie Ranzhe vs Qie Ranzhe?

    Chapter 434: Fifth World: Qie Ranzhe vs Qie Ranzhe?


    The two lovers stared at each other with a deep tender gaze that can only be seen between a couple with a strong connection. It was like a deep-seated bond linked them together with a red string that could only be seen by the gods.


    Qie Ranzhe couldn''t stand being stared at like that as an inexplicable spark ignited within him. He wanted to hold, kiss, undress and entangle with this man right then and there which is what he did. Well, part of it.


    Qie Ranzhe stood up from hisfy office chair and ambled over to his lover in slow steps creating a cheesy romantic scene like in the movies. The only thing missing was a powerful fan to create a breeze in Qie Ranzhe''s hair like those actors in a bollywood movie.


    In that short second, he imagined Qie Ranzhe grabbing a hold of his waist before performing a perfect dip like when dancing the tango saying, "Darling, I will leave everything behind just to be with you," with a red rose in his hand.


    Noticing his boyfriend was distracted again, Qie Ranzhe caressed Wen Qinxi''s cheek and whispered, "Daydreaming again?"


    The warm touch of his hand brought Wen Qinxi back to earth. He smiled happily and ced his hand on top of Qie Ranzhe''s before slowly moving his face to kiss Qie Ranzhe''s hand. That gentle kiss wasn''t anything innocent in Qie Ranzhe''s eyes. Forck of a better word, it could only be described as provocation breaking Qie Ranzhe''sst line of defence.


    Qie Ranzhe picked up Wen Qinxi by his waist and ced him on the desk. Things quickly escted faster than the time it takes for a te to elerate from 0 to 97km/h which in fact 2.3 seconds. In half that time, these two were getting down and dirty with zero restraint.


    The CEO kissed the man''s soft lips while fondling Wen Qinxi''s slender waist. He had Wen Qinxi''s legs parted making him slide inbetween them with ease. The two lost themselves in an intoxicating makeout session totally unaware of what was about to happen.


    Qie Ranzhe''s lips found their way to Wen Qinxi''s neck kissing and sucking on that long neck as though eating something delectable. He couldn''t resist the urge to pull down Wen Qinxi''s hoodie to reveal that defined corbone and leave his mark.


    This was his way of telling the entire world that this man was taken so back the fuck off. Wen Qinxi weed him stretching out his neck with his fingers running into Qie Ranzhe''s soft hair drawing him closer. Coupled with the asional lewd moans escaping his throat it created a sensual x-rated scene too enticing for pure eyes.


    While these two were seriously getting into it, the sect leader finally figured out how to get Zhao Zhi and as soon he opened the door he walked straight into such a passionate scene.


    His face turned ugly when he saw Zhao Zhi''s who was obviously enjoying himself looking as tempting as sin. Zhao Zhi had his hands all over the man''s hair grinding against him while groaning with a hoarse voice exposing his elongated vicle urging the man on.


    Qie Ranzhe stood rooted on the spot his chest tightening at the sight. He couldn''t believe this is what Zhao Zhi desired the most. It wasn''t merits or sess that he desired but he wanted to be with a strange man in a strange world. He didn''t know how he exactly felt about this situation but the sour taste in his mouth was a tell-tale sign.


    While contemting on how to deal with this awkward situation, Wen Qinxi suddenly opened his misty eyes brimming with unbridled sexual desire. That look made his heart skip a beat. When his eyes lingered to those parted lips, Qie Ranzhe swallowed his saliva unconsciously before striding over.


    He pushed the man off Zhao Zhi sending him flying across the room before turning to the man sitting on the desk. With a frown, he fixed Zhao Zhi''s messed up clothes but his hand was smacked away by the person he was trying to help.


    "Ho-how are the-there two of you? And what the fuck are you wearing?" said a genuinely confused Wen Qinxi. None of this made sense to him.


    The sect leader ignored him blocking an attack from the man he had just shoved away. It was only after blocking his fist did the two look at each other. No one was as mindblown as this sect leader gazing at a perfect reflection of himself. Though they were dressed differently the resemnce was uncanny.


    It wasn''t only the sect leader who was shocked but the CEO as well. It turns out no one in the office could see the sect leader apart from this simr version of himself and Zhao Zhi.


    The shock quickly wore off reced by hostility. It seemed the CEO had just realised that this man was here to take his lover away and there was no way in hell he was going to let that happen. The two red at each other with an intense ferocity that equalled when an alpha mets another alpha face to face.


    There can only be one alpha in the pack and the other can only settle for being a beta. Wen Qinxi got off the desk and ran in front of his CEO in a protective stance with their hands entangled together.


    Wen Qinxi didn''t understand what was happening but he had to protect the love of his life so he stood in front of him without thinking.


    The sect leader felt a stinging pain in his chest but he ignored it pulling Zhao Zhi over with ease before engaging in a battle with himself which was like a weird replica of the movie face-off.


    Wen Qinxi wanted to separate them but they were so fast and he would be at risk of injury.


    Recalling how these two were engaged in a sensual makeout session and how obscene Zhao Zhi looked under this man''s spell, the sect leader didn''t hold back. That is to say, the CEO was soon subdued with his body flung against the wall creating a huge dent.


    "Qie-ge!" yelled a distraught Wen Qinxi as he ran over to the man lying on the ground with blood streaming down at the corner of his lips.


    But as he passed the Qie Ranzhe dressed like a runaway actor from a historical drama his elbow was suddenly caught in a tight grip.


    Qie Ranzhe''s expression was nk but his eyes were as dark and sinister as a ck hole. Wen Qinxi tried to free himself but when had he ever sessfully got away from Qie Ranzhe? Their strength was iparable which meant Wen Qinxi couldn''t reach his man.


    "Let me go," said Wen Qinxi ring at this bully who was undoubtedly a replica of his lover.


    This re ignited an unexpected fire in the sect leader. This little arsonist had secretly unearthed pandora''s box making the sect leader feel feelings he had never felt before. He wanted to say, "Don''t re at me like that otherwise I will get hard," but he didn''t have the guts to say it right now.

 Chapter 435: Fifth World: This Is Your Reality

    Chapter 435: Fifth World: This Is Your Reality


    "Baby," said the CEO struggling to get up inciting Wen Qinxi to fight his way to him but no matter how hard he tried he couldn''t free himself.


    He was so pissed that he started to push the sect leader away which unexpectedlynded him in the man''s embrace. The sect leader forced Zhao Zhi to look at him and said, "Zhao Zhi, it''s just an illusion.... This is not your reality," with their eyes locked together.


    Wen Qinxi wanted to struggle some more but the name Zhao Zhi had him calm down a few degrees. Sensing that he was getting through to him, Qie Ranzhe did the unthinkable. He leaned down and whispered, "This is your reality," before kissing him.


    The warm touch of this man''s soft lips had Wen Qinxi vexed but he couldn''t help himself. Something within him snapped as he quickly took an active role prying open the sect leader''s lips with his warm tongue invading the man''s mouth. He chased after Qie Ranzhe''s tongue with his arms subconsciously wrapping around the man''s neck.


    Everything about this felt right and that gut feeling he felt before waspletely gone. The sect leader let him do as he pleased. To be honest, he was enjoying it as well even though he was exercising restraint.


    He still couldn''t get over the fact that Zhao Zhi''s deepest desire was to be with him or rather an odd version of him. He had mixed feelings about this but this wasn''t the time to carefully examine his emotions so he tossed his rationality aside and kissed Zhao Zhi.


    The illusion immediately copsed with the fallen CEO crying out, "Wen Qinxi!" before his body disappeared. Qie Ranzhe''s brows furrowed hearing this name but now wasn''t the right time to ask questions. He dragged Zhao Zhi out of the office door as the illusion came crashing down. The moment they passed through the threshold, everything turned dark as the two cked out.


    ***


    Two dayster.


    Qie Xieling strode over to his shixiong''s room once more trying to see if his parents were awake yet. Oh that''s right, he should be calling Zhao Zhi father as well but because he called Qie Ranzhe father it was pretty confusing. In the past week, he was trying toe up with other ways to address Zhao Zhi but none of it was suitable which is why he still called him Shixiong.


    He pushed the door open and as expected, he found his two fathers still lying in each other''s embrace just like how he left them. Two days ago, he walked in only to find his father lying on the floor while holding Zhao Zhi''s hand. He tried to wake them both up but it was pointless which made him hysterical.


    He called Machu toe over and wake his fathers but Machu couldn''t either. After some probing, Shao Lan told Qie Xieling not to worry exining what was going on. This calmed down the hysterical Qie Xieling who was embracing his aunt like a spoilt child.


    It was then that Dai Yu hatched a devious n. She talked the other three into cing Qie Ranzhe on the bed and stage a sweet scene that had her squirming in excitement. She had Machu ce Qie Ranzhe''s arm around Zhao Zhi''s waist and their faces no less than a pinky finger apart. She couldn''t wait to see Qie Ranzhe''s reaction when he wakes up.


    This could count as revenge because Dai Yu had received the worst of Qie Ranzhe''s mysophobia when they were children. One time when Qie Ranzhe was five and Dai Yu was seven, they were asked to share a room at an inn as the family travelled but there was one problem. There was only one bed. The five-year-old Qie Ranzhe kicked Dai Yu out of bed and made her cry.


    It wasn''t only that. There were too many incidences to count so she decided to exact revenge on her cousin. "Hahaha ha hahaha.... let''s see how you will feel cousin," she said but what she didn''t know was that not only did Qie Ranzhe actively seek out Zhao Zhi when he was drunk to share a bed but her beloved nephew was a result of these two doing this and that to each other.


    Only one person was enlightened among them and he didn''t feel like sharing either. Qie Xieling had then covered his fathers with a quilt wishing this moment wouldst forever.


    Two dayster and Qie Xieling was starting to think his wish came true because his fathers still hadn''t woken up. Feeling anxious, he constantly came over every hour to check on them but the result was the same.


    Just when he was thinking this Zhao Zhi suddenly shifted to sleep on his right side to face Qie Xieling direction. He was about to move further away from Qie Ranzhe but the sect leader''s powerful arm drew him closer spooning him like a pro.


    Both of them were obviously still asleep but this situation shook Qie Xieling''s foundation making him gasp while covering his mouth with his hand. This was mindblowing but he had no one he could share this experience with.


    Qie Xieling crouched down next to Zhao Zhi''s face to calm his nerves by studying his shixiong''s facial features. It seemed Qie Ranzhe''s genes were super strong because Qie Xieling looked nothing like Zhao Zhi apart from the merman form.


    Catching sight of that soft cheek, Qie Xieling couldn''t resist pinching it and so he did. But as the saying goes ''curiosity killed the cat'' as his actionsnded him with a bleeding nose.


    This was a conditioned reflex on Wen Qinxi''s part. In his sleep, he thought a mosquito had invited itself for a meal without his consent so he lifted his hand to p the vile insect. But just as his arm rose it had an unfortunate encounter with Qie Xieling''s nose and because he hadn''t controlled his strength he caused a lot of damage.


    "Ah! Shixiong! You broke my nose," yelled Qie Xieling with his hand covering his lovely nose.


    Of course, it wasn''t broken but Qie Xieling wouldn''t be Qie Xieling if he didn''t over exaggerate things. The guiltier they feel the better the benefits you receive and this ck-bellied kid learnt from the best.


    "Shh... such a drama king. Let me see," whispered Wen Qinxi afraid to wake the man who was spooning him out of his own volition.


    "But it''s bleeding," mumbled Qie Xieling pinching his nose.


    "Then go show your aunt and I will make it up to youter... Now go," whispered Wen Qinxi eager to get rid of Qie Xieling. That''s because Qie Ranzhe had taken the initiative to lead himself into the lion''s den so how could he not take advantage? He eagerly snuggled deeper into Qie Ranzhe''s arms as Qie Xieling walked out of the room with his head facing up.


    As soon as Qie Xieling walked out and he had just settled in afortable position with his butt pressing against Qie Ranzhe''s crotch, he heard a husky voice say in his ear, "What are you doing?"


    Wen Qinxi, ''Oh Shit!''


    Talk about being caught with your hands stuck inside the cookie jar.

 Chapter 436: Fifth World: Compensating With His Body

    Chapter 436: Fifth World: Compensating With His Body


    There is nothing as embarrassing as being caught with your pants down by the very person you don''t want to them know. Well, at least that''s what Wen Qinxi felt in this moment.


    He shut his eyes and pressed his lips in a straight line while reprimanding himself. It''s just that he had such a pleasant dreamst night that he couldn''t help but want Qie Ranzhe to touch him the very same way like in the dream.


    One can only imagine how he felt when he woke up and found Qie Ranzhe''s arm wrapped around his waist. Such good things rarely happen and he would be a fool if he didn''t take advantage. One can''t seed in life without taking risks thus he chased his nose bleeding son out and snuggled deep into Qie Ranzhe''s embrace.


    Who would have thought the risk was this high? He was even caught before he could fully enjoy the benefits. Why was he so unlucky?


    Wen Qinxi shuffled away but that arm around his waist was like an iron bar, unmovable. An archaic smile appeared on his face before asking, "How long have you been awake?"


    "Ever since Xieling used you of breaking his nose," replied Qie Ranzhe making the nerd blush with embarrassment. It turned out the man saw everything even the part when he chased Qie Xieling out.


    Ridden with guilt Wen Qinxi said, "I will go see if he is okay," while attempting to get up but that arm grasped his waist even tighter. It was evident that Qie Ranzhe didn''t want him to go. The nerd''s pulsing heart almost leapt out of his chest with joy. This was progress, really good progress.


    "He is not a porcin doll plus my cousin will take care of him. You just stay right here," said Qie Ranzhe while reverting on Zhao Zhi with great interest. There were plenty of things he couldn''t understand about this man which he usually wouldn''t care if it was anyone else. But this was Zhao Zhi a man he was fated with no matter how far apart they were. A series of coincidences brought them together no matter how the distance.


    From this angle, Qie Ranzhe could see Zhao Zhi''s reddened ear. He had a strong desire to touch it but decided not to just in case Zhao Zhi runs off when he removes his arm around the man''s waist.


    "Is Wen Qinxi your given name?" asked Qie Ranzhe catching the man off guard. Wen Qinxi didn''t know Qie Ranzhe''s exact intentions by asking this. In ancient times men were bestowed a courtesy name when they came of age which meant Qie Ranzhe was asking him if Wen Qinxi was his given name and Zhao Zhi his courtesy name.


    It didn''t make sense to Wen Qinxi why Qie Ranzhe would ask him this when he himself didn''t have a courtesy name. There must have been a deeper meaning behind the question.


    But that wasn''t tha main issue. The major problem here was that Qie Ranzhe knew his name. His real name. Wen Qinxi''s body stiffened with a perplexed expression. Qie Ranzhe seemed to sense his uneasiness so he exined, "I heard a fake me call you that before I took you out of that illusion."


    If Wen Qinxi wasn''t confused then he was most definitely vexed now. ''Wasn''t it a fuckin dream?... Shit,'' he thought when he suddenly remembered that ominous ck shadow. This is when the real panic set in because this man had spent a good time in the most private space of any living person.


    He needed to find out how much information this man knew. He truly hoped that stupid AI kept its mouth shut while Qie Ranzhe was exploring his mind like a tourist.


    "The voice in your head told me everything and even called me boss one," said Qie Ranzhe trying to incite Zhao Zhi into confessing everything but when he didn''t get a response he leaned in closer and whispered into the man''s ear, "Don''t you have anything to say to me?" If normal means didn''t work then why not try seduction?


    Wen Qinxi knew that trick. He knew that trick so well and saw iting. But he wasn''t immune and almost spilt his secrets. He really didn''t know the consequences of telling Qie Ranzhe the truth neither did he want to risk it. They were already on the fifth world and there was no way he was starting all over again.


    If he spent the spring festival in here his real mother woulde to GameX with a slipper to beat his ass. So no, he wasn''t willing to take that risk.


    "Nope, I have nothing to say," replied Wen Qinxi trying to wiggle out of Qie Ranzhe''s arm and crawl off the bed. He wasn''t down for this inquisition so he decided to run off which was extremely difficult.


    Seeing this rabbit struggling to get out of his grasp, Qie Ranzhe felt a little annoyed but he had to let him go. He didn''t like the fact that Zhao Zhi kept secrets from him but he could also understand why the man didn''t trust him enough to tell him everything.


    He wouldn''t force Zhao Zhi to tell him everything as long as the man didn''t betray him that''s all that mattered. He would love to trust the father of his son for Qie Xieling''s sake.


    As soon as Qie Ranzhe let go of him thews of physics took effect and he was sent flying off the bed. With a loud thud, Wen Qinxi kissed the floor feeling extremely annoyed. There was only one person to me for this and that person was currently staring down at him from above.


    "Are you okay?" asked Qie Ranzhe with his head at the edge of the bed while staring at him. His concern wasing from a good ce but Zhao Zhi didn''t seem to think so.


    Sure enough, Wen Qinxi got up and scolded the sect leader. "Why did you let go? You know I could have broken a tooth or my arm. How would you havepensated me then?" said Wen Qinxi while putting on his brocade boots.


    "But you were struggling so I thought you wanted to get out of my arms?" replied Qie Ranzhe feeling Zhao Zhi was ratherical. This disciple is always hot and cold which is undoubtedly confusing. He should just pick one and stick with it.


    Wen Qinxi didn''t respond to him feeling at fault. He was so embarrassed that he med the sect leader to make himself feel better. Just as he stood up he heard Qie Ranzhe say, "I willpensate you by giving myself to you since I am your deepest desire," in a teasing tone.

 Chapter 437: Fifth World: Qinxi Cleaning House

    Chapter 437: Fifth World: Qinxi Cleaning House


    Wishing the ground would just open up and swallow him whole, Wen Qinxi dashed out of that room like his life depended on it. It was just iprehensible to him that what he thought was a dream wasn''t and that Qie Ranzhe took the initiative to kiss him. Great progress indeed but that snitch of an AI seemed to have said something it shouldn''t have.


    ''Jolie, what did you tell him?'' he asked walking into the courtyard to find Qie Xieling''s room.


    The system felt so aggrieved that it couldn''t help but whine. It had already been intimidated by boss one and now it was being interrogated by boss two for no reason. ''I swear I am innocent. I have been framed,'' replied the system trying to reason with the boss''s wife to speak on its behalf so it won''t get fired.


    Wen Qinxi frowned hearing the system''s pitiful tone. He couldn''t help but wonder what Qie Ranzhe did to the system to make it so well behaved. He had threatened it so many times but it would never concede. Now it was behaving like an obedient child after one encounter with Qie Ranzhe. Was Qie Ranzhe much scarier than himself?


    ''I even tried to stop him from seeing your memories from the past worlds which wasn''t easy. This system endured so much hardship for you,'' replied Jolie cosying up to Wen Qinxi for the benefits. Maybe Wen Qinxi would stand up for him if Qie Ranzhe decides to dispose of it in the real world.


    Unable to bear the pity party, Wen Qinxi brushed off the whining system. Just as he was about to dismiss Jolie he heard voicesing from Qie Xieling''s room. The door was opened a crack so he could hear everything.


    A cute loli voice was saying, "Come on xiao-didi, just show me. I won''t tell I promise," in a coquettish tone that had Wen Qinxi''s face twitching. He thought Qie Xieling would be with Dai Yu taking care of his injury but it turned out the kid was hanging around with a girl in his room.


    Show what? Won''t tell what? Such words had Wen Qinxi''s imagination going ces sparking a chain reaction with the end product of it being him getting angry. That girl was most definitely seducing his son in broad daylight.


    "Seriously no. You shouldn''t be here in the first ce," replied Qie Xieling in a stem voice. It turned out the girl was an uninvited guest which made Wen Qinxi feel a little better.


    Thinking he could let Qie Xieling deal with it as the kid was already eighteen, he waited at the door but what she said next had Wen Qinxi flying in like a helicopter parent.


    "What are you going to do? Kick me out? You have no cultivation so how are you going to get rid of me? Do you have the same problem down there as the sect leader? Is that why you won''t date me? Maybe if we get together you will reap the benefits of dual cultivation," she said shifting closer to him.


    What she didn''t know was that Qie Xieling had not only recovered but he was already two ranks above her cultivation rank which is why she couldn''t sense his cultivation. She hade along with her older sister to the Qie sect after her sister joined the so-called harem.


    Seeing that her older sister had failed to gain the sect leader''s favour she decided to take matters into her own hands and go for the next best thing. She was an ambitious girl with big dreams so she went after Qie Ranzhe''s weakest link but who would have thought she would be rejected.


    Having lost her patients she ended up saying those things out of anger unmasking her true nature. Her sister had told her that one of the girls in the harem had seeded in seducing the sect leader which made her lose patients and show her hand earlier than expected.


    Qie Xieling was so angered by her words that he wanted to directly throw her out of the Qie sect with one move when his other father kicked the door open out of the blue.


    "Get the fuck out!" roared Wen Qinxi pointing at the now broken door. The girl was terrified at first thinking it was the sect leader but when she saw this stranger she didn''t cower anymore.


    "Excuse me, who do you think you are? How can an outsider like you involve yourself in our sect''s business?" she said with such an attitude you would think she was Madam Qie herself.


    Wen Qinxi was so angry graduating from a little firecracker into a full-blown firework. "Good, then I will show you what this fucking outsider can do," he said before grabbing the back of her cor. Just like that, the little miss was dragged out of Qie Xieling''s room.


    "Shixiong, I," said Qie Xieling but he couldn''t speak anymore after Zhao Zhi''s response.


    "I will deal with youter. You were supposed to be with your aunt but you....," said Wen Qinxi before tossing the girl outside the Pavillion.


    What Wen Qinxi didn''t know was that the injury was minor than what Qie Xieling made it to be. It wasn''t serious enough for him to go to his aunt so he went to his room only to find this girl standing outside his room waiting for him. Because they were friendly he didn''t think anything of it but who would have thought this girl would actively seduce him after that.


    "Who does she belong to?" yelled Wen Qinxi attracting the attention of the entire sect with a talisman. He had had enough of this harem and all of them had to go. If they refuse he would drag them out of the sect by their hair one by one.


    ***


    While Wen Qinxi was cleaning house, Qie Ranzhe was in his study room discussing with Shao Lan and Machu aboutst night''s events. A low-rank demon had managed to pass the barrier surrounding the Qie sect without alerting anyone.


    Something was seriously wrong because that barrier was of the highest quality in the cultivation world. Qie Ranzhe had designed this barrier to be able to withstand that monstrous realm if what happened to the Qie family ever happened to his sect. Which meant a low-level demon stood no chance.


    This meant there was a weakness that the demon king knew and he had used it for his little minion to pass through their defences.


    To prevent others from listening in, Qie Ranzhe had ced an invisible soundproof barrier around the study. It was for this reason that themunication talisman didn''t reach them.


    Zhao Zhi was starting a shit storm outside without the sect leader''s knowledge. All the seniors were in this room. Well, except for Dai Yu who couldn''t be counted as a responsible senior. In fact, she was enjoying the show while blocking anyone from going to find the sect leader. Why find him when the party was just getting started?

 Chapter 438: Fifth World: Crazy In Love Or Just Crazy

    Chapter 438: Fifth World: Crazy In Love Or Just Crazy


    Wen Qinxi showed the true meaning of hopping mad as he stood outside the sect leader''s Pavilion. He was like a parent causing a scene at his child school after his kid was bullied.


    Let''s just say at this point he had basically lost it which was something that seldomly happened to him. Well, that is until he met Qie Ranzhe. Huh? Maybe that''s what it means when they say crazy in love.


    The girl''s acting skills were top-notch changing from a fierce jaguar to a fluffy duckling that was being bullied in a matter of seconds. If this girl was in the real world she would have snatched the academy award for best actress every single year.


    Her n was effective in portraying Zhao Zhi as the crazy outsider making a fuss out of nothing. Her tears appeared genuine to anyone who didn''t understand what was going on but they were still crocodile tears regardless of how great she was at acting out a crying scene.


    Even Dai Yu was almost convinced by her but she made one fatal error which was calling someone aunt who shouldn''t be called that by anyone apart from her nephew. "Ayi (aunt) please help-," she said her face red from all the crying but she didn''t get to finish when Dai Yu''s eyes grew as cold as the arctic circle interrupting her plea.


    "Excuse me. Ayi? Ayi? Who is your Ayi? Huh?.... Tsk,do I look that fuckin old? Such an asshole," said Dai Yu feeling quite offended. This girl had undoubtedly touched her sore spot making her so angry. Yes, Qie Xieling could call her aunt, auntie or aunty because they were rted but this girl was a stranger.


    That''s right folks don''t go around calling a stranger auntie. If you aren''t certain rather go with big sister. Well, if you didn''t know now you know.


    Qie Xieling wanted to calm his father down but once he heard the word aunte out of that girl''s mouth he knew that Zhao Zhi was no longer a priority. Entering into an emergency mode he began to massage Dai Yu''s shoulders while trying to recall if he had any of Dai Yu''s favourite candy in his interspatial bag. Only the heavens know how long it would take to pacify his aunt.


    If he didn''t do this, this girl might lose her head creating a gory scene. While Qie Xieling was working so hard to calm his aunt, Wen Qinxi was yelling at the green tea bitch who just didn''t know when to give up. She and her older sister who had shown up at some point were now calling for the sect leader while wailing exaggeratedly.


    But their cries didn''t reach Qie Ranzhe for a very long time. It was only after the meeting ended did one of the disciples manage to get through to them right after the barrier was retracted.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    Was the sound of the loud irritating knocksing from the door as soon as the barrier vanished. Two secondster a frantic disciple walked in looking rather flustered. "This disciple greets the sect leader and senior brothers," he said cupping his hands with a hint of impatience in his voice.


    The three could sense it but in their minds, anything short of the sect being attacked by fierce ghosts wouldn''t warrant such a reaction. It had to be a ghost attack of the highest level and nothing else.


    Well, their thoughts weren''t too far off because right now Wen Qinxi equalled an attack by twenty fierce ghosts. In fact, the ghost king would just give him centre stage and hopelessly watch his job get stolen by a human. It would have to change careers in a tight global economy with a high unemployment rate.


    "It''s, it''s senior disciple Zhao Zhi. He is picking a fight with a Shimei outside the Pavilion," said the junior disciple feeling exasperated.


    Everyone, "....."


    This news was highly unexpected. How bad of a scene did Zhao Zhi cause to have an entire sect shaken? Well, they soon understood when they found two women kneeling with Zhao Zhi towering above them.


    At first nce, one would assume that the two women were being bullied but these three had experienced much of life to know that things are not always what they seem.


    As soon as the two women saw Qie Ranzhe they upped their crying level and began to plead with him. "Sect leader Qie, please get us justice. This man harassed and assaulted us for no apparent reason. He is a mad man," said the older sister huddling her innocent-looking little sister.


    She didn''t even bother finding out whether the usations were true or not because she trusted her little sister which was a big mistake on her part.


    Qie Ranzhe was so irritated by the noise that he gently closed his eyes and ced his index finger on his lips. Just this gesture alone had the entire crowd silent with a chill sweeping past them. That''s how much power Qie Ranzhe had over them.


    All he had to do was point in a certain direction and things would be done in an instant. He was the type of leader that if he asked them to jump they wouldn''t ask why but rather how high.


    "Dai Yu," said Qie Ranzhe staring at Zhao Zhi with a meaningful gaze his arms behind his straight back. This gaze had Wen Qinxi feeling a certain way that was hard to describe. Even when he wasn''t sneaking nces at Qie Ranzhe he could still feel that gaze lingering all over his body making his scalp go numb. He couldn''t figure out what was going on in Qie Ranzhe''s head.


    "Oh," said Dai Yu before clearing her throat to narrate today''s events, "She called me aunty. Can you believe that? Who''s her fuckin aunt?"


    She would have gone on if it weren''t for Qie Xieling stopping her. This wasn''t what his father was asking her. Qie Xieling leaned in and whispered something to her under everyone''s gazes.


    "Oh, ohhhh.... sorry, sorry. She tried to seduce Xieling and Zhi-er is just defending my little nephew''s honour," exined Dai Yu summarizing almost an hour of drama in one short sentence.


    "Oh, and she also called him an outsider and that this wasn''t any of his business. That''s what the fuss is all about.... and yeah, she called me aunt... that''s her biggest offence in my opinion."


    Qie Ranzhe seemed to understand what transpired and didn''t have a problem with the way Zhao Zhi handled it. In fact, if it had been him who found out first he would have destroyed her spiritual root and threw her out of the sect by now. She was incredibly lucky that it was Zhao Zhi who found her.


    "I understand then carry on," he said to Zhao Zhi in a nonchnt tone. Zhao Zhi was Qie Xieling''s father so he can do as he pleases to protect their son and Qie Ranzhe would have no objection.

 Chapter 439: FIfth World: Fed Dog Food Unknowingly

    Chapter 439: FIfth World: Fed Dog Food Unknowingly


    A sweet feeling spread all over Wen Qinxi''s chest hearing that. His baby was so sweet when he did such things.


    These honeyed words had a peculiar reaction to Dai Yu. She felt something was wrong but couldn''t put her finger on it. It was like she been fed dog food unknowingly.


    The same words had the two women shudder as they called out to the sect leader pleading with him. Unable to stand the high pitched wails, Qie Ranzhe turned to leave as he had much more important things to do.


    "You heard him right? Then from now on the Qie sect has no rtion to you so get the fuck out!" said Wen Qinxi appointing himself as judge, jury and executioner.


    Everyone was shocked questioning Zhao Zhi''s rtionship with their sect leader including Shao Lan.


    All except Qie Xieling and Machu had some idea on why Zhao Zhi possessed such a staggering amount of power. Machu didn''t know the details but he wasn''t blind. He had noticed a peculiar tension between the two which meant there was more to the story.


    "Sect Leader," mumbled Shao Lan in concern. He also thought it wasn''t a good idea to give an outsider this much authority which is why he called out to him.


    Qie Ranzhe''s steps paused but didn''t look back saying, "Whatever he says goes," before walking away.


    Wen Qinxi grinned before taking full advantage of the nk cheque he had just received. This sly grin made the harem members quiver. Something big was about to happen.


    "You are expelled and as for you," he said addressing the older sister, "Your services are no longer required so you can follow your sister out of the sect." Talk about given an inch and he takes a mile, right?


    Dai Yu choked on her saliva at his words. Yes sure, the girl had called her aunt and tried to seduce her nephew but what did that have to do with the older sister? This was a perfect example of abuse of power.


    It was at this moment that the other harem members understood the meaning behind Zhao Zhi''s grin. That grin was basically saying, "You are next."


    They were about to stage a protest and defend her when Zhao Zhi beckoned Shao Lan over. Once he heard the request his brows furrowed but recalling what Qie Ranzhe said earlier he calmly took out a bag of silver and ced it on the table.


    Wen Qinxi nced at the bag then at Shao Lan. Understanding his meaning Shao Lan sighed and added another then another bag but the older sister wouldn''t stop crying. ''Driving a hard bargain I see,'' he thought before gesturing to Shao Lan to take bag two bags.


    This had the crocodile tears vanishing in an instant. "I will take it. Give it to me," she said changing the colour of her strips in an instant.


    "This is yourpensation you just have to sign a blood vow that you will have nothing to do with the Qie sect from now on. If you as so much as return here a bolt of heavenly lightning will smite you," exined Wen Qinxi. He had alreadye up with this n a long time ago in a project known as ''operation getting rid of the harem members'' which was taking effect as of that moment.


    Thepensation was a hefty amount attractive to anyone. Besides, they had no future with the sect leader so why not? Wen Qinxi concluded his business with the harem member and asked, "Anyone else?" Let''s just say that Qie Ranzhe lost a lot of money that day though his wealth was like an infinite spring that never dried out.


    "You will have twenty-four hours to get your stuff ready and you will be escorted back to your home towns," exined Wen Qinxi feeling like a true boss. Like he said before he doesn''t like sharing and couldn''t tolerate a third wheel nor fourth, fifth, etc wheels.


    Dai Yu watched with great interest as Zhao Zhi acted like an imperial consort that had just been promoted to empress and received the empress seal. This scene was especially interesting.


    For whatever reason, a lot of the women were convinced and took thepensation all but one. Zhao Zhi didn''t know her name but he didn''t care either. She was most likely taking chances and hoping that with all the women gone she would stand a better chance.


    "Last chance," he said staring at her with a piercing gaze.


    Of course, she shook her head in refusal but Zhao Zhi wasn''t deterred. He had confidence in his own abilities so he stood up to leave without saying another word.


    "Congrattions for bing a spinster for life," said Dai Yu as she stood up to find other entertaining things to do, "Xieling, let''s go find your aunt something to eat." She wrapped her arms around Qie Xieling and dragged him along.


    "I am terrified of Zhao Zhi now..... It''s like he has his ws deep into one of the world''s most powerful men," exined Shao Lan feeling rather bemused.


    Machu patted his shoulder infort but as soon as they got to the table he recalled one crucial thing. His bet with Dai Yu over what sort of reaction Qie Ranzhe would have when he wakes up right beside Zhao Zhi.


    Dai Yu resolutely believed that he would freak out but judging from their interactions earlier he did anything but freak out. Now it was time to pay the piper. He beckoned with his fingers to have Dai Yu give him the spirit stones but Dai Yu decided to y dumb.


    "What are you talking about?" she asked putting her feet up on a nearby chair.


    "You lost so give it up," he said but she didn''t respond so he turned to Qie Xieling, "Xieling, how was your dad''s reaction when he woke up this morning?"


    It was then that Dai Yu began to panic. Yes, she knew she had lost once she saw Qie Ranzhe''s attitude this morning. Something fishy was definitely going on but she didn''t want to admit she lost that many spirit stones.


    Qie Xieling didn''t even raise his head with his entire focus on the breakfast set on the table. "Oh, he hugged Shixiong even tighter and pretended like he was still asleep," exined Qie Xieling before pulling a bowl of rice congee towards himself.


    Clunk! Crash!


    Was the sound of dropped cutlery and a bowl crashing to the floor. This had Qie Xieling raising his head. "Oh and you all lost the bet about who left that lip hickey on my father..... it was Zhao Zhi and since I bet none of the people in the harem it means I win."


    Dai Yu, "Shit!"


    "Oh for heaven''s sake that''s insider trading. You must have known something that we didn''t,"ined Machu.


    Shao Lan, "...."


    His three views were most certainly shuttered in a singlemorning.

 Chapter 440: Fifth World: Parenting Conflict Again

    Chapter 440: Fifth World: Parenting Conflict Again


    They say all good thingse to those who wait but it seemed to be the opposite for this sect leader. He had been waiting for Zhao Zhi toe to look for him after dealing with the situation but the sect leader waited, waited and waited.


    Two hours in he was thinking Zhao Zhi was still angry and needed time to cool off. Four hours in he thought maybe Zhao Zhi needed time to rx and get his mood right beforeing to see him. But six hours in and this sect leader was fed up losing his patience.


    He put down his calligraphy brush and left his study in a humph. What made it worse was that Zhao Zhi had overyed his hand and got rid of the rest of his harem members when he had only permitted him to deal with the frivolous sisters. This he could understand. Who in their right mind could tolerate sharing the person they love with a whole bunch of people like a public toilet.


    This kind of public toilet kind of love never ends well most of the time and this sect leader couldn''t agree more. Which meant he didn''t mind and besides Zhao Zhi had taken care of something that needed to be taken care of ages ago. This is the reason why he didn''t stop Zhao Zhi and allowed him to abuse his free pass but he expected the man toe to coax him after that.


    Since Zhao Zhi liked him so much he should have at leaste over to whisper some sweet nothings but of course, that was only wishful thinking on this sect leader''s part. Fine, he couldpromise. Since Zhao Zhi won''te to him then he would go and find him.


    Qie Ranzhe arrived at Zhao Zhi''s door in a few strides and knocked after suppressing his desire to kick open the door. Lucky for the door, Zhao Zhi didn''t take long responding almost immediately. The sect leader was ready to express his dissatisfaction but as soon as he met those misty hazel eyes he found that he couldn''t speak.


    Thump! Thump!


    This was the loud sound of his heart beating against his chest which only became faster and faster the more they locked gazes. What he didn''t realise is that locking gazes create a kind of intimacy that led to strangers falling head over heels for each other and getting married after staring at each other for four minutes straight in a study.


    This sect leader sealed his fate the moment he looked into Zhao Zhi''s eyes. He could have continued being mesmerized if it weren''t for Zhao Zhi walking into the room. Snapping out of his trance he sauntered in, closed the door and sat down in front of the tea table.


    Qie Ranzhe''s eyes followed Zhao Zhi watching him intently. It seemed he had something on his mind because he wasn''t speaking which was highly unusual. Having waited for a long time, Qie Ranzhe cleared his throat and said, "Speak," his eyes fixed on him.


    Wen Qinxi finally raised his head to look at Qie Ranzhe. He was lost in his thoughts just now almost forgetting he hadpany. "They all had to go," he said while ying with his nails under his sleeves. He wasn''t exactly in a great mood for the entire day which is why he didn''t take the initiative to see Qie Ranzhe.


    "En, I know," was Qie Ranzhe''s response feeling mncholic. This version of Zhao Zhi was especially hard to talk to and it didn''t help that this sect leader was reclused and inexperienced when it came to dealing with other people''s feelings. But for Zhao Zhi was willing to try.


    "Is it that you don''t trust Xieling?" asked Qie Ranzhe trying to press Zhao Zhi to speak his mind.


    Wen Qinxi''s brow creased at his words. He couldn''t understand what this had to do with Qie Xieling. "No, I trust Lin Lin... it''s them that I don''t trust so they all had to go," replied Wen Qinxi before sitting opposite the sect leader. The two stared at each other for a second before their gazes separated.


    "It''s just that he wouldn''t have gotten into this mess if he had just listened to me and went to his aunt. What, what if he was drugged or something?.... That girl would have not only taken advantage of him, but she would also have increased her cultivation by a massive margin," said Wen Qinxi feeling rather annoyed. The more he thought about it the angrier he got. Qie Xieling stood to lose a whole lot if that girl seeded which made this mama bear seethe in anger.


    Qie Ranzhe rubbed his lips with his index finger seemingly lost in thought before responding. "You are thinking too much. He might be willful at times but he knows to protect himself," replied Qie Ranzhe confident in his son''s abilities.


    Wen Qinxi rubbed his head in frustration while saying, "He such an unruly kid sometimes." He couldn''t help but sympathize with parents. Having children is like a bittersweet thing and sometimes the bitterness far exceeds the sweetness.


    "Maybe he is like that because hecks maternal care so....," said Qie Ranzhe without careful consideration of his words. If he had been allowed to continue he would have said, "so are you willing to take up the role," but he wasn''t allowed to proceed. This meant he was misunderstood.


    Like a cat that just had its tail stepped on Wen Qinxi went off the rails going from zero to a hundred in an instant. "What the hell are you trying to say? Oh, I see so you are saying just because he was raised by two fathers that''s why he turned out that way?..... That''s bullshit," said Wen Qinxi before standing up. He couldn''t be bothered dealing with Qie Ranzhe right now.


    "Fuckin getting me all worked up," mumbled Wen Qinxi feeling especially upset.


    Qie Ranzhe was totally blindsided by that vicious attack that he couldn''t resist retorting, "He wasn''t raised by two fathers either." Talk about jumping out of a frying pan and straight into the fire.


    Wen Qinxi turned around to re at him while cursing like a sailor internally. He could feel his anger reach boiling point so he decided to take a walk otherwise he would say something he would regret. But when he reached the door, it wouldn''t open no matter what he did so he turned to the only other suspect.


    "Open the fuckin door Qie Ranzhe," he said in a tone that sent chills all over Qie Ranzhe''s body. He had absolutely nothing to do with it and was wrongfully used. He didn''t want Zhao Zhi to leave but he also had no idea how to coax this firecracker. In fact, he had never even coaxed Qie Xieling.


    That was Dai Yu''s thing when the kid was upset. He knew once Qie Xieling was done being upset he woulde over and they would pretend like he never threw a tantrum just now.

 Chapter 441: Fifth World: Fight And Make Up

    Chapter 441: Fifth World: Fight And Make Up


    But Zhao Zhi was different. Though he knew the man was upset he had the strong urge to push him down and wrestle with him till Zhao Zhi was done being angry. It worked thest time he got upset with him but it most certainly won''t work today because Zhao Zhi was really angry.


    "It''s not me," replied Qie Ranzhe having some suspicion that this had to be Qie Xieling''s handiwork. The kid must have used his notes from when he started learning how to create barriers. This kind of barrier was of his own design which he had used on his cousin ever so often.


    There was no way to break this barrier without the permission of the person who set it up but its effects would onlyst for thirty minutes. It was a neat trick to y as a kid but Qie Xieling used it to lock them in and he was the major suspect.


    "Shixiong I did it...and, and I am not unruly," was the sound of Qie Xieling''s voiceing from the door. It seemed the kid had overheard their little squabble and decided to do something about it.


    Wen Qinxi, "..."


    "I will let you out when you are done fighting so yeah..... y nice," replied Qie Xieling before cing his ear on the door but he soon regretted that decision as he got scolded by Wen Qinxi big time. If only he had not ced his ear on the door he could have pretended he hadn''t heard it. His little dad was too fierce.


    Wen Qinxi was busy scolding Qie Xieling that he didn''t notice Qie Ranzhe snuck in behind him. This meant he was taken aback when Qie Ranzhe turned him around and pressed him against the wall in a perfect wall m that sent a flood of hormones gushing out.


    The nerd''s heart skipped a beat with those perfectly chiselled features right in front of him. He was still a little upset but no matter how hard he tried he couldn''t drag his gaze back. His eyes were drawn to Qie Ranzhe like there was a hard to resist gravitational pull.


    He was like the earth pulling at a meteorite despite the risk of suffering the same fate as what happened millions of years ago that resulted in the mass extinction of dinosaurs. Not a romantic line but he was a nerd after all.


    Qie Ranzhe seemed to sense the tension between them and under its influence, he leaned in so close till Wen Qinxi could feel the man''s warm breath on his face.


    This intimate proximity had Wen Qinxi''s throat parched as an inexplicable itch arose within him. He hadn''t gottenid in a very very long time which meant he had little resistance to Qie Ranzhe''s provocation.


    All it would take to break was one touch from Qie Ranzhe and he didn''t necessarily have to touch an intimate ce to rev the engine. Even if Qie Ranzhe poked his cheek he would lose it at this point.


    Qie Ranzhe stopped within inches of Zhao Zhi''s face with his gaze lingering on those sweet juicy lips that seemed to be luring him to have a single bite.


    His gaze suddenly shifted to Zhao Zhi''s eyes brimming with sheer carnivorous desire. How could Qie Ranzhe resist when he was stared at like that? "Why do you get mad easily?" he said lifting Zhao Zhi''s chin with his gaze falling back on those lips once more.


    "I hadn''t finished talking. I wanted to say would you stay and help me raise him," he said before leaning in close to Zhao Zhi''s ear, "I promise I will take responsibility for you." His warm breath brushed against Wen Qinxi''s skin making him shudder in excitement. Having tasted the sweetness of the forbidden fruit, Wen Qinxi inched closer to Qie Ranzhe yearning for more.


    He wanted to hug him. He wanted to kiss him and defile him till he was satisfied. He wanted to do all this and more right now and right here.


    Unable to bear it any longer he sped Qie Ranzhe''s cor and drew him in for an impure kiss oozing of lust and sexual desire. Qie Ranzhe''s heart was beating wildly only managing to take little sips of breath. Zhao Zhi was extremely fierce licking his lips as though sampling something delicious.


    The sect leader could no longer hold back grabbing Zhao Zhi''s waist with one hand while slipping his other hand at the back of the man''s head deepening the kiss. With his nose buried in Zhao Zhi''s scent, Qie Ranzhe felt an intense shock wave with his blood rushing towards a certain ce.


    Overtaken by his desire, he was no longer thinking with his big head tossing his rationality out of the window.


    Wen Qinxi was suddenly overpowered with Qie Ranzhe''s tongue chasing after his making his tummy flutter. He couldn''t take it anymore. It was apparent that he wasn''t satisfied with kisses alone so he parted from Qie Ranzhe out of the blue and ambled towards the bed loosening the ribbon that was holding up half of his hair.


    Like a graceful waterfall, the strands flowed down with Wen Qinxi''s provocative eyes on Qie Ranzhe. He ran his fingers through his hair while slightly biting his lower lip with seductive undertones. This was an invitation and this sect leader understood.


    He wanted to sleep with Zhao Zhi. Never in his life was he as certain as he was right now. Qie Ranzhe walked over to him hoping to undress thisscivious man but Zhao Zhi suddenly pushed him on the bed before straddling him.


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t protest grasping the back of Zhao Zhi''s neck before kissing and licking his throat while panting heavily. His action turned frantic as he sucked on Zhao Zhi''s throat hard enough to numb the man''s skin.


    "Ah ah, Ran-ge," came the sound of Zhao Zhi''s seductive raspy voice. Qie Ranzhe''s stiff member was positioned perfectly and all he had to do was peel off Zhao Zhi''s robe to fully possess him.


    "I want to fuck you," he whispered after gently nibbling at Zhao Zhi''s reddened ear. Wen Qinxi was so aroused that he couldn''t help grinding against the man to ease the urge in his pants.


    "Then what are you waiting for?" was Wen Qinxi''s response before biting Qie Ranzhe''s neck expressing his arousal. Qie Ranzhe hissed in pain with his hands grasping Zhao Zhi''s waist tighter.


    Just when things were getting good, Qie Xieling decided to ruin it knocking on the door while asking, "Are you guys still fighting?" He didn''t even wait for a response before opening the door but he had only opened it a crack when his father''s ck boot hit the door followed by him saying,


    "We just started so get the hell out!" in a husky hoarse voice that sounded wrong. Qie Xieling quickly closed the door scratching his head in confusion. Since they had just started fighting he chose to put the barrier back up and have a light snack. He woulde backter and y the intermediate role to restore peace. Little did he know that this was only round one of a very very long fight.

 Chapter 442: Fifth World: NSFW

    Chapter 442: Fifth World: NSFW


    It''s easy to guess what sort of ending these two had after that miniature disagreement. When Qie Ranzhe thought of coaxing Zhao Zhi before he had no idea it could be this rewarding. A reward that could only be described as an out of this world experience.


    The moment Qie Xieling left the two people were entangled with each other on the bed like a pair of hungry wolves. It was like a beast was unleashed the moment Wen Qinxi said, "Then what are you waiting for?" Those words sound innocent but in this context, they had an aphrodisiacal effect making the sect leader fall deep into his desires.


    He sealed Zhao Zhi''s mouth with his lips engaging in an erotic kiss that sent intense waves of pleasure throughout their bodies. Their hot breaths were intertwined together with Qie Ranzhe licking and sucking on those intoxicatingly sweet lips that he couldn''t help but groan.


    The moment the tips of their tongues met it was like a rush of feel-good hormones were released igniting a fiery passion that could surely determine how this night was going to end. Their kiss turned frantic as a result of this with their bodies growing hotter and hotter by the minute.


    Wen Qinxi felt his blood rush to his lower half with his breathing bing heavier and heavier. He felt the burning urge to release that mounting pressure he had been holding back deep within.


    He began to grind against Qie Ranzhe''s crotch thoroughly enjoying the feeling that came with it.


    Losing himself to his sexual desires he skillfully glide against the man with the right amount of pressure which had the two groaning and panting with lewd kissing sounds echoing the room. Qie Ranzhe began to kiss Zhao Zhi''s neck licking and sucking with his hands unfastening the man''s belt.


    He had zero experience apart from what he saw in Zhao Zhi''s memories. Of course, thatscivious scene was rough and frantic because at that time they were under the influence of something sinister. So he couldn''t use that as a reference point.


    Relying solely on instincts, Qie Ranzhe made his move while sucking on Zhao Zhi''s neck. He unfastened the belt and peeled off the firstyer of clothing off his lover. Zhao Zhi was extremelycent cooperating with him with no hint of shyness in his actions.


    With the outer robe gone the man''s defined corbone was exposed making Qie Ranzhe stare with his enchanted eyes. He gulped while tracing Zhao Zhi''s corbone with his fingers.


    Eyeing that pale smooth skin with his deep lustful eyes Qie Ranzhe felt the desire to mark that beautiful skin and dere sovereignty over his lover and so he did. He licked Zhao Zhi with his warm tongue before sucking hard on his skin making the man quiver as he gasped crying out.


    "Ah Ran-ge, don''t. Uh ~~ Ah," were the sweetintsing from Wen Qinxi with his pants getting wet from the precum seeping out of his arousal.


    These subtle protests from Zhao Zhi intensified Qie Ranzhe''s thirst making him suck another spot of the man''s skin with great enthusiasm. He wanted to hear Zhao Zhi cry out even louder under his provocation so he carried on while his hands explored every inch of Zhao Zhi''s body.


    His sly hands unfastened the knot for the man''s inner robe before sliding in to touch the supple skin underneath. Like when unwrapping an egg surprise, Qie Ranzhe took his time savouring the process with his hands caressing the man''s skin.


    A tingly sensation spread through Wen Qinxi''s body where Qie Ranzhe touched him. That warm hand explored his torso with an inexplicable sense of urgency rousing the pink dots on Wen Qinxi''s chest.


    Qie Ranzhe couldn''t hold back the urge to lick that t tummy and muscle lines shimmering under the candlelight. Wen Qinxi slightly arched his back to better amodate his lover who was licking and sucking on him like a hungry beast. Enticing hoarse moans and groans echoed the room as Qie Ranzhe worked his way up to the pink dots on Zhao Zhi''s chest.


    He licked the erect nipples that were eagerly standing up awaiting special tender loving care from daddy. "Ah~ um yes, ah..... just like that... ah," whispered Wen Qinxi with his hands raking through Qie Ranzhe''s hair drawing him closer.


    Qie Ranzhe teased those nipples for a while his piercing gaze taking in Zhao Zhi''s lustful appearance which he could only describe as sensual.


    The enticed Wen Qinxi couldn''t help grab Qie Ranzhe''s hand and take in the full length of the sect leader''s middle finger into his mouth. Befuddled, Qie Ranzhe wanted to pull away but that seductive look on Zhao Zhi had him ogling at the man like he was bewitched.


    Afortable warmth wrapped his fingers as a pleasant tingly sensation spread from the point of contact to the rest of his body. Wen Qinxi didn''t only swallow the man''s finger, he was licking it and sucking it driving the sect leader''s member insane. Zhao Zhi was indeed a vixen of the highest order.


    Unable to bear the provocation Qie Ranzhe pushed him down on the bed in one fell swoop. He thought Zhao Zhi wouldn''t like it but to his surprise, the man had a sly smile stered on his face. Qie Ranzhe suddenly felt a little intimidated so he asked, "Why are you smiling?"


    "Because I am fuckin happy that''s why," replied Wen Qinxi tugging Qie Ranzhe''s belt with a little force. He wanted to hurry up and take it off so he could undress Qie Ranzhe but Qie Ranzhe suddenly held his belt preventing him from taking it off.


    He leaned down with his other hand supporting his body. Stopping a few inches above Zhao Zhi''s face he asked, "Why do you like me so much?" His gaze was especially intense looking right into Zhao Zhi''s eyes. Why the man was suddenly asking such a question at a crucial moment no one knows but Wen Qinxi wasn''t annoyed.


    He raised his head and whispered his answer into Qie Ranzhe''s ear, "It''s because I have loved you through four lifetimes already..... Now, are you going to fuck me or not?"


    Wen Qinxi''s words seemed to snap thest thread of rationality in Qie Ranzhe because after that things took an entirely different turn. Qie Ranzhe hurriedly undressed showing off his well-built body. He crawled back to bed after securing thetch of the door. He was still wearing his inner pants as he towered over Zhao Zhi.


    Feeling rather impatient, Wen Qinxi wrapped his legs over Qie Ranzhe''s waist and began to kiss his lips with their tongues entwined in a sensual dance. He could feel Qie Ranzhe''s hardened member poking him through the thin lining of clothes.


    Qie Ranzhe rubbed against Zhao Zhi''s abdomen while groaning. His pants were wet from precum but he didn''t care. He shifted up slightly and rubbed Zhao Zhi''s member through the fabric.


    "Ah, ah....," groaned Wen Qinxi as their lips separated. He liked it when Qie Ranzhe touched him this way. So he couldn''t help but let out a slutty groan surrendering to his deepest desire.

 Chapter 443: Fifth World: NSFW 2

    Chapter 443: Fifth World: NSFW 2


    Qie Ranzhe never thought he would touch another man''s crotch in his entire life. All this time he thought he had slept with a woman birthing Qie Xieling but it turned out it was this man lying underneath him. He could have rejected Zhao Zhi and wrote off their first encounter as a mistake but he couldn''t resist the temptation.


    He was greedy for Zhao Zhi''s body and it was a good thing that Zhao Zhi liked him so he decided to go with the flow. His mother always said he should choose someone that loves him rather than the person he loves. That way he wouldn''t be betrayed like what happened to her and this was him following his mother''s advice.


    Qie Ranzhe put his hands inside Zhao Zhi''s pants and began to stroke his erection while peering at the man beneath him. Taking in Zhao Zhi''s reaction and excitement, Qie Ranzhe stroked the tip of the man''s cock while whispering to his ear, "Do you like it?"


    Wen Qinxi shook his head further wrapping his legs around Qie Ranzhe''s waist. "Oh, oh yes. It feels so good... ah," replied Wen Qinxi moving his waist to the rhythm of Qie Ranzhe''s strokes. His legs softened as he kissed Qie Ranzhe''s neck.


    It was obvious he wanted more than just an appetizer. He was starved for too long and an appetizer wasn''t enough to satiate his hunger. "Range, I want you to fuck me," whispered Wen Qinxi in a smutty tone.


    Qie Ranzhe also wanted to tear this man''s hole apart and thrust into his deepest depths just like in the memories he saw. He wanted Zhao Zhi to beg him to fuck him over and over again.


    He took off Zhao Zhi''s pants followed by his own till they bothy naked on the bed. Zhao Zhi handed over a porcin bottle to Qie Ranzhe with his other hand reaching out to touch the man''s beautiful abs. The skin to skin contact felt so pleasurable that Wen Qinxi couldn''t help but rub against the man a couple of times.


    He was too immersed in his own lust that he didn''t notice Qie Ranzhe''s confused expression. Qie Ranzhe had to ask, "What do I do with this?" after struggling to get Zhao Zhi''s attention. He also liked rubbing against Zhao Zhi but he wasn''t a vegetarian after all. He was done with forey and since Zhao Zhi asked to be fucked then he wouldply.


    "It''s lubricant... if you don''t prepare me well, I won''t enjoy it," replied Wen Qinxi nibbling on Qie Ranzhe''s earlobe with his hands exploring every inch of Qie Ranzhe. It seemed he had to groom this sect leader in the art of making love otherwise he would suffer a great loss in this world.


    Qie Ranzhe licked his bottom lip while opening the bottle. He poured out some of its contents on his fingers and made Zhao Zhi lie down.


    Zhao Zhi instructed him on what to do but he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest. He was wondering why Zhao Zhi was so well informed in this field which made him feel a sense of unease. ''Did Zhao Zhi practise with other people?'' he thought feeling the side effects of jealousy.


    ''Whatever, he is mine now,'' he thought driving his finger into the tight hole that greedily sucked it in. Zhao Zhi gasped making Qie Ranzhe lean down tofort him. "Endure it for a little longer," he whispered while stroking Zhao Zhi''s long hair that was covering his face.


    Zhao Zhi nodded brainwashing himself to push through the intrusive pain. There are no rewards without suffering especially when it came to this. Qie Ranzhe kissed Zhao Zhi while thrusting his finger into the man''s tight ass. Sensing the man''s tense muscles rx he introduced a second finger making Zhao Zhi arch his back while gasping for air.


    Because of this Qie Ranzhe, identally stumbled upon a new discovery. Whenever his finger brushed against this spot Zhao Zhi would groan unrestrainedly with a slight tremble on his body. Feeling discontented he withdrew his fingers and lifted the man''s legs to his shoulders while stroking his member with a generous amount of lube.


    "Ran-ge, don''t stop," he said in dissatisfaction when those fingers slipped out of his tight hole. He was starting to enjoy himself with precum seeping out of his cock but Qie Ranzhe just had to cut him off.


    "Beg me and I will give you what you want," said Qie Ranzhe kneading the man''s ass his eyes as dark as the deepest abyss. Qie Ranzhe couldn''t hold back any longer. He wanted to fuck this man and make him cry out his name.


    Wen Qinxi didn''t dally saying it out loud unabashedly. Like a slutty minx he said, "Fuck me daddy Ran.... please," fully aware of how to push Qie Ranzhe''s buttons.


    Sure enough, the words revved the engine. Qie Ranzhe initially wanted to toy with him a little but he found that he couldn''t. Those words had him dragging Zhao Zhi towards him by the waist as he thrust into that lewd hole. Wen Qinxi shuddered from the pain and subconsciously wanted to run but Qie Ranzhe was restraining him.


    The moment his cock thrust into Zhao Zhi, Qie Ranzhe quickly lost control of himself. His thrusts got deeper and deeper with the warmth from Zhao Zhi''s hole enveloping his hard member. The pleasurable feeling was especially addictive that he couldn''t help increase the speed of his thrusts.


    "Oh, oh yeah.... oh fuck yeah..... Ah, shit," groaned Qie Ranzhe with his waist moving rhythmically as the sound of skin pping against skin echoed the room.


    Pa!Pa!Pa!


    Were the sweet sounds of lovemaking echoing the room as Qie Ranzhe delve deeper into the man''s tight ass. Wen Qinxi bit his lower lip enduring the pain. For this man, he would conquer his biggest fear and let him do as he pleased. He loved to look at that man''s flushed face as he indulged into his carnal desire unrestrainedly. In this world and previous worlds, he was the only one allowed to see that look.


    Qie Ranzhe began to calm down while searching for that sweet spot that had his lover groaning in pleasure. And once he found it Wen Qinxi wasn''t only watching anymore. The pain had worn off reced by the ever so familiar intense wave of pleasure.


    "Ahh daddy..... right there..... oh, oh, ah fckkk!" said Wen Qinxi reaching out to touch Qie Ranzhe''s back but his wrists were caught and pressed above his head with one hand. Qie Ranzhe''s other hand slid down to the man''s neck and gently massaged it before slowly moving down to Zhao Zhi''s erect nipple.


    He pinched it gently making Zhao Zhi moan in pleasure. He especially loved hearing those lewd soundse out of Zhao Zhi so he leaned down to tease that nipple with his tongue while thrusting into him. The rewards were especially gratifying that he found he couldn''t stop. It was then he realised that his addiction to Zhao Zhi would possibly be his downfall.

 Chapter 444: Fifth World: NSFW 3

    Chapter 444: Fifth World: NSFW 3


    The simple yet elegant bedroom looked especially charming under the shimmering candlelight but it was the loud sounds of skin pping against skin and explicit groans that made the atmosphere erotic.


    Wen Qinxi''s muscr body glistened under the candlelight from all that sweat but from the look on his face, he didn''t seem to mind. He was on his knees with his eyes closed and his swollen lips partially open.


    His member was standing at full mast with a thin clear fluid seeping out from the tip of his charming cock. From this angle, one could see a pair of beautiful hands caressing Wen Qinxi''s waist and chest creating a lustful tempting scene taken straight from an AV.


    Those unbridled pair of hands belonged to none other than Qie Ranzhe who was eagerly thrusting into the man''s ass like a crazed beast with no sign of stopping. He grabbed Zhao Zhi by the waist and plunged deep into the man in an erotic rhythmic motion making Wen Qinxi gasp for air.


    "Ah... Ngh~... Ah, daddy, that''s ngh.... ah .... deep, Ah, ah.... oh," were the sweetintsing from Wen Qinxi as the sect leader sucked hard on his back leaving behind ineffable red hickeys.


    Qie Ranzhe kissed his back all the way up to the man''s neck and sucked hard on his tantalizing skin while plunging his cock inside Zhao Zhi''s lewd chrysanthemum that swallowed his entire member with ease. Qie Ranzhe revelled Zhao Zhi''s body all the meantime thinking, ''So tight and wet. So fuckin sexy.''


    "Baby, be good," he whispered with his hand sliding downwards towards Zhao Zhi''s stiff member. "Let daddy make you feel good," he said stroking the lovely member with his other hand wound around Zhao Zhi''s waist drawing him closer.


    Qie Ranzhe then slid his hand down Zhao Zhi''s back guiding him into a different position. With his lover on all fours, Qie Ranzhe''s thrusts became slower but powerful with his hands digging into the man''s tight ass. Wen Qinxi couldn''t help crying out with his body trembling in ecstasy.


    Again and again Qie Ranzhe''s cock purposefully rubbed against that special spot as he went in and out teasing his lover.


    Wen Qinxi felt the speed of Qie Ranzhe''s thrusts increase invoking an uncontroble wave of spasms throughout his body. His breathing became erratic as an inexplicable heat gathered in his lower half seeking a suitable outlet. A hoarse voice escaped Wen Qinxi''s throat as a tingling sensation spread throughout his body. "I, I.... get.... ah I''m getting there," he said with the muscles in his abdomen tensed up as a fervid wave of pleasure overwhelmed him. A thick white fluid seeped out of his twitching cock with his shaky legs going soft.


    A devilish smile crept up Qie Ranzhe''s face with burning desire etched in his dark eyes. He felt like his cock was being melted inside Zhao Zhi when the man climaxed. Such an addictive feeling couldn''t be experienced only once. He turned Zhao Zhi around and made him lie on his back.


    The man was panting underneath him with flushed cheeks and ckened eyes. Such a provocative sight had the sect leader hungry for more. He leaned down and nted a sultry kiss on Zhao Zhi''s lips while gently caressing the man''s body. He slowly parted the man''s legs with his hand while whispering, "We are just getting started."


    Wen Qinxi, ''Oh Shit!''


    This sect leader really meant what he said as proven by his following actions. Wen Qinxi was drilled till he was muddle headed. His eyes were half-lidded and his vision hazy as he fully indulged in the waves of pleasure inching him closer to an intense climax. He let out a lengthy gruff moan as he reached seventh heaven. He clung to Qie Ranzhe with his muscles contracting under the intense pleasure. A white thick fluid was shot out in between their bodies as Wen Qinxi lost himself to the passion.


    Unable to bear it anymore Qie Ranzhe''s breathing became heavier as he rapidly thrust into the hot passage while sucking on the man''s lips. His body stretched taut as he picked up Zhao Zhi deepening his thrusts. Their bodies were entwined together in a tight embrace as a final vigorous and powerful thrust plunged deep into Zhao Zhi as shot inside his lover.


    Wen Qinxi was exhausted as hey limply in Qie Ranzhe''s arms. He naively assumed Qie Ranzhe would let him off after this but he was wrong. This sect leader had practised abstinence for almost two decades but this experience opened him up to a whole new world. Like a kid''s first time at a candy store, it is easy to get them in but difficult to get them out.


    He took out a pill from his interspatial ring and whispered, "I want more," while nibbling and sucking on the man''s ear.


    Wen Qinxi smiled sheepishly while biting his lower lip. He wanted to do it again as well but their strength was unmatched especially because Qie Ranzhe was of higher cultivation rank.


    What he didn''t expect was that this spendthrift would feed him a high-grade spirit re-plenishing pill mouth to mouth in a passionate kiss only letting him go once he swallowed it. A sweet sensation spread on his tongue revitalizing Wen Qinxi''s body in an instant.


    This sect leader had just used an expensive pill that could be used in a life and death situation to re-energize his lover for dual cultivation. How interesting.


    Satisfied, Qie Ranzhey in between Zhao Zhi''s legs and asked, "Now, can we," gently caressing the man''s thighs. Wen Qinxi licked his lower lip with a smile. Of course, they could proceed and do it all night long making up for lost time. Besides, this might be hisst chance to indulge his carnal desires with the man he loves as the future outside gship was unknown.


    Qie Ranzhe was ted taking full advantage of the situation for the rest of the night. If he had known having coitus with Zhao Zhi would be this good he would have seduced him a long time ago. The pleasure went beyond physical gratification. It spread into the meridians creating an indescribable adrenaline rush that one had to experience to understand how good it felt.


    The difference between them was seen clearly the very next morning. One was like an infant high on sugar and the other was a sloth that could barely move. Qie Ranzhe had happily taken on the task to wash up Zhao Zhi and change the bedding before drying him up and dressing him.


    He let Zhao Zhi sleep but Qie Ranzhe didn''t sleep a wink as he was on the brink of another breakthrough. He sat in the lotus position for the rest of the night cultivating. By the break of dawn, Qie Ranzhe had broken through fromte-stage core formation to early-stage nascent soul despite having had a breakthrough just a few weeks ago.


    He didn''t really sleep with Zhao Zhi for this. In fact, he had forgotten about it simply following his heart''s desire. Qie Ranzhey next to the sleeping Zhao Zhi peering at his handsome face.

 Chapter 445: Fifth World: Bald Donkeys

    Chapter 445: Fifth World: Bald Donkeys


    Qie Ranzhe couldn''t fathom why such a beautiful person would like him so much despite having met a handful of times. To be honest, he wouldn''t have believed Zhao Zhi genuinely liked him if the man hadn''t confessed in his sleep and shown it in his strange illusion.


    His thoughts veered off-road thinking about what Zhao Zhi said before they did this and that to each other. Zhao Zhi had said he loved him through four lifetimes but none of it made sense. When one dies their soul would be served soup by the goddess of forgetfulness on the bridge of forgetfulness before they enter the next cycle of reincarnation so how could Zhao Zhi remember his past life.


    Did this have anything to do with the voice inside Zhao Zhi''s head? And why did the voice refer to him as boss one? This line of thought didn''t go far though because the door was suddenly kicked open and in came Qie Xieling running into the room before crawling into bed right in the middle.


    "Argh Lin Lin,"ined Wen Qinxi who had just been woken up by his son pressing on his chest. His body still ached a little from overindulgence. Yes, there is such a thing as too much fun.


    Qie Xieling bundled into the quiltpletely disregarding his father''s words. "There are fuckin monks outside the barrier.... and one of them called me a beast," mumbled Qie Xieling still hiding underneath the quilt.


    Wen Qinxi and Qie Ranzhe exchanged nces before they abruptly got off the bed. "You stay here," said Wen Qinxi while Qie Ranzhe dressed him in a robe he had picked out earlier.


    Qie Xieling nodded his head under the quilt while his fathers left the room. Wen Qinxi unsheathed magic frost and was about to ride to the gate of the Qie sect when Qie Ranzhe stopped him.


    "Wait," he said pointing at the visible hickeys on his partially exposed corbone. Wen Qinxi didn''t protest watching Qie Ranzhe fix his robe. Qie Ranzhe''s care andpassion towards him was exactly why Wen Qinxi fell head over heels for this man. How could he resist such a charming man? It''s impossible.


    As soon as Qie Ranzhe finished hiding away the evidence ofst night''s escapades he raised his head only to be kissed by Zhao Zhi. It wasn''t a smutty kiss but neither was it innocent. Qie Ranzhe could feel the warmth and love apanying that kiss. It was the kind of kiss you wouldn''t want to end but to his disappointment, Zhao Zhi parted from him before leaping into the sky.


    "I will kiss you however long you want when we get back," he said after noticing the dejected look in Qie Ranzhe''s eyes.


    The sect leader licked his tingling lip before following after Zhao Zhi. He didn''t understand why he felt so disappointed when Zhao Zhi ended the kiss early. Thinking this wasn''t time to think about such things, Qie Ranzhe put the thought at the back of his mind and focused on the task at hand.


    When they reached the gate they found a small group of disciples, Shao Lan, Machu and Dai Yu standing there while arguing with a group of bald monks. Well, to be exact it was Dai Yu hauling insults at them.


    This group of bald donkeys had caused a raucous in the morning asking to see the sect leader. But the group of disciples wouldn''t let them in without Qie Ranzhe''s permission. Besides, they couldn''t open the barrier even if they wanted to let them in. This meant they had to wait for Qie Ranzhe''s approval.


    The monks would have respected the sect''s rules and wait but Qie Xieling happened to pass by with his aunt heading towards the duelling arena. From then on things escted with the head Taoist priest attacking the barrier intending to strike Qie Xieling.


    He had let Qie Xieling go as an infant because he nned to let the yao who birthed him find him first. When that happens he would be able to kill this abomination that could bring down the entire world. And now that the yao had awakened he knew exactly where it was.


    This is why he attacked Qie Xieling because he was no longer needed. But who would have thought the barrier set up by the Qie sect leader was imprable. Qie Ranzhe was indeed worthy of his reputation.


    This disrespectful act angered Dai Yu which led to a war on words. "Why don''t youe out so we can fight it out," said the Taoist priest trying to bait Dai Yu into opening the barrier.


    Dai Yu scoffed with her hand on her waist before saying, "You must think I am stupid, don''t you? Well, too bad I am not fuckin buying it."


    "That''s rather unfortunate," said the monk sighing in disappointment. "How about you scar face. Don''t you want to defend your friend''s honour and fight me? The scar face he was referring to was Shao Lan who seemed the least bit amused by his words.


    Shao Lan ignored him but remained vignt watching him. "Hmm, I sense demonic Qi hovering in the area..... it seems your sect had a little run-in with a demon recently," said the antagonistic Taoist priest, "let me guess that demon was here for a certain someone, am I right?"


    Machu sighed deeply and said, "You and your bald donkeys aren''t wee here so piss off!"He didn''t even wait for Qie Ranzhe''s orders because he knew this is exactly what Qie Ranzhe would want.


    He didn''t know why the demon had broken into the Qie sect but he knew it had something to do withZhao Zhi and that Zhao Zhi was important to his sect leader. The rest didn''t matter because he trusted Qie Ranzhe.


    "Wait, don''t be so eager to be rid of me yet. Haven''t you ever wondered why a supreme demon king would send his minion all the way here? Don''t you know that was the first of plenty of attacks toe?" he asked trying to sow discord among the Qie disciples.


    "I promise if you hand him over to me, your sect won''t have such incidences happening ever again," exined the Taoist priest but he found he couldn''t go on anymore having sensed Zhao Zhi''s unique Qi.


    A sly smile appeared on his face saying, "This is going to be fun," while facing the direction in which Zhao Zhi wasing from.


    Faced with the two powerful figures, the Taoist priest couldn''t help but frown. Something was different about Qie Ranzhe and it was nothing good for the priest of course. These two had engaged in obscene acts and Qie Ranzhe had increased his cultivation rank at a speed faster than regr cultivators from thest time they met.


    It seemed to get to the yao and rid this world of evil he had to go through this sect leader.

 Chapter 446: Fifth World: A Righteous Prick

    Chapter 446: Fifth World: A Righteous Prick


    Wen Qinxi had been called so many things in his life. Stupid, silly, weirdo, you name it but this was the first time he was called a beast. Not like the grandma next door''s chihuahua named beast but a monster of the highest order and it was right in his face.


    He would have asked this monk, "What did I ever do to you? Didn''t I always give alms to monks on the road on my way to school every Friday?" but of course, he couldn''t.


    "Sect leader Qie, it is highly unusual that a righteous sect like yours would harbour such an evil being. Don''t you know evil attracts evil? How long do you think your sect will stand before it is torn apart by the forces of evil?" said the Taoist priest who was ring at Zhao Zhi with his menacing dark eyes.


    Qie Ranzhe moved a step to the side blocking the Taoist priest''s view of Zhao Zhi. Anyone who knew him well could tell that Qie Ranzhe was pissed off despite his expression not changing much. His hand was tightly clenching ck Cmity''s hilt till his knuckles turned white.


    This Taoist priest had absolutely no right to call Zhao Zhi names. When his family was killed and he was on the verge of death, it wasn''t the righteous sects that rescued him but Zhao Zhi. All these sects cared about was attaining the treasures of this secretbyrinth and when they found out it was a trap they worked together to seal it. Qie Ranzhe could understand their reasoning. No one would want those creatures to run rampant in the mortal world.


    But why did the sects loot all of the remaining Qie family properties and treasures? They didn''t set up a memorial or anything but just looted their family wealth like a group of bandits.


    Not only that but when he returned to the Zhao sect his position was given to someone else. Fearing that he would retaliate and find out they had robbed his deceased family they kicked him out in a polite manner.


    Out of all of these people, the only person who seemed to give a damn about him was Zhao Zhi who guarded him despite having broken the rules of his yao n. Yet this Taoist priest dared to call him monster and evil amongst many things.


    "Sect leader Qie, regardless of your personal feelings for this yao I still have a job to do. To uphold good and eliminate evil. And you are standing in my way," said the Taoist priest with a darkly expression. This had escted from a simple war on words to a full-blown provocation with an intense smell of gun powder in the air. Machu and Shao Lan had already assumed a stance ready for war while Dai Yu was checking her range of weapons to see which one would be perfect to cut out the tongue of the mouthy one. They heard everything said and were curious about Zhao Zhi but right now wasn''t the right time to gossip.


    They trusted Qie Ranzhe''s judgement so whatever the bald donkey said it came in through one ear and out the next as they stood with their sect leader.


    "Are you going to leave by yourself or do you need my help?" asked Qie Ranzhe in a spine chilling tone with those fierce eyes ring at the Taoist priest. It had been a long time since he kicked some righteous prick''s ass and this Taoist priest made a perfect candidate.


    "Hahahahaha! That''s, tha-....," replied the Taoist priest but he couldn''t even finish his taunt when a swift de swung in his direction almost slicing through his already bald head. That is to say, if he had long hair it would have been chopped off right now.


    The Taoist priest dodged taking out a pair of gold rings with the circumference of a frisbee. The rings appeared harmless at first that is until spikes with jagged edges appeared on the surface covering the entire circumference of the ring.


    Having dodged the sect leader''s fierce attack, the priests leapt up in the air with his baggy garment ttering with the wind. With a nging sound, the rings were sent in Qie Ranzhe''s direction who had left the safety of the barrier at some point.


    The Taoist priest was a rank below nascent soul but because of his divine artefacts bestowed to him by the heavens, it made them evenly matched. The other monks dared not y fair. In this world, it was better to eliminate evil than hold on to one''s ego.


    They nned on joining the fight and subdue the unruly sect leader but how could the Qie sect disciples let that happen. Dai Yu took out a crimson whip from the hide of a rare high-level spiritual beast with its tip embellished with rolls of gemstones that rip out one''s flesh as soon as it gets into contact with skin.


    A loud cracking sound of a whip caught the attention of the monks who were rushing to assist the Taoist priest. "If you want to get to him you have to go through me first," she said with a sly smile on her scarlet red lips. She exited the barrier and flung her whip at the monks tearing at their skin like it was nothing.


    "Ah, do you think we should..... cause I mean it looks like she''s got this, right?" said Machu cringing at the sight of the blood.


    Shao Lan shook his head and left the confines of the barrier to fight. Machu shrugged his shoulders and said to Zhao Zhi, "You stay and will take care of this," before taking out his velvet folding fan with the characters god of war inscribed on it.


    Wen Qinxi, "....."


    "It''s just a fuckin folding fan.... oh shit!" he said after witnessing what a fuckin folding fan could do in Machu''s hands. The weapon was as deadly as Dai Yu''s whip with the only difference being that her whip created a bloody scene.


    The fan wasn''t gory it was rather a silent killer attacking one''s soul breaking them from within. Wen Qinxi was thinking of going to check on Qie Xieling since this team of assassins seemed to have things under control.


    That is until he sensed some fluctuation in the barrier. His brows creased as his line of sight followed the direction from which the fluctuation wasing from. Unable to shake off the feeling that something was wrong he leapt up in the sky only to find thatst harem member at the edge of the barrier with a bunch of monks.


    The girl was the same girl who wormed her way into Qie Ranzhe''s bed but failed. It seemed she had graduated to betraying the sect colluding with the enemy.


    Let''s delve deeper into this cannon fodder''s life. Maybe if one knows her story they could understand why she risked everything to do this. Her name was Mingxia meaning bright halo. One would assume with such a pretty name she would be shining with a beautiful life that left one envious but that wasn''t the case.

 Chapter 447: Fifth World: The Girl That Betrayed The Qie Sect

    Chapter 447: Fifth World: The Girl That Betrayed The Qie Sect


    Her mother had particrly named her that hoping she would have a great life but it didn''t happen for her. When she was eight a group of bandits raided her vige and ughtered everyone. She and her mother were left alive on ount of their beauty so they could be married to the bandits.


    She was reluctant at first but her mother told her to survive. The desire to live transformed her character that is to say she willingly followed the son of the bandit leader in their escapades to robbing people. She strove to be on his good side so they could be married. Being married to a future bandit leader wasn''t so bad, right?


    It was on one of the raids that they found an unconscious man clothed in the finest robes with a bag filled with treasure. One can only guess what they did next. They robbed the man and decided to toss him into the river to drown. That way they could cover their tracks because this treasure was too unique. The man was most likely from an important family and he might hunt them down after he woke up.


    Mingxia watched on as the older boys dragged the man to the river but it was then they saw that tail appear right in front of their eyes. Terrified, they ran off vowing never to speak of it again.


    They ran away only stopping two towns over where they divided their loot. Mingxia knew she wouldn''t get anything from this loot but she couldn''t resist the urge to swipe a beautiful pink pearl among the loot without the bandit''s knowledge.


    For years she kept the pearl well hidden and found an interesting side effect. This pearl maintained her youthful glow and she was finally living up to her name. Things were falling in ce and she was on the right track to marrying her bandit boyfriend.


    But this heaven-defying glow had other girls envious cing her under their radar. There were plenty of beautiful girls taken by the bandits but none of them caught the eye of the bandit leader''s son.


    This made the girls jealous but their jealousy morphed into murderous intent when the bandit leader brought a crimson wedding dress after robbing a wedding procession.


    That gorgeous dress was the spark that lit the fumes. One of the girls particrly believed Mingxia''s glowing radiance wasn''t natural because a lot of cultivators used to pass by their vige which meant she had some knowledge of such things.


    She wanted what Mingxia had so she instigated the other girls to help her attack Mingxia so they could have a fair chance. While they were distracted she would rob Mingxia and have a better life. The girls were especially clever luring her into the forest on the pretence of spending time with her before her wedding.


    As expected the girls beat her to a pulp with their leader searching through her stuff. Mingxia knew what that girl was looking for but she had kept it on her person. They pulled her hair scratched her face and kicked her in the abdomen dozens of times till she was drifting in and out of consciousness.


    Just when she thought she was going to die there, a heavenly deity rescued her. Well, that''s what she thought at first but it was Qie Ranzhe and beside him was Qie Xieling jeering his father on.


    It was then that she opened her blurry eyes and saw the face of her knight in shining armour. She fell helplessly in love with her hero and wanted to follow him. But her hopes were shattered when Qie Ranzhe asked one of the female disciples to take her to the nearest town.


    Just when she was about to beg to follow them, Qie Xieling suddenly stopped his father and whispered something. Qie Xieling felt a sense of familiarity when he was close to the girl. What he didn''t know was that it was the pearl that on her person which attracted his attention.


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t argue with Qie Xieling as the kid had a kin sense of his other parent. This is how Mingxia ended up in the Qie sect. Unfortunately for her, the pearl was shattered when she was beaten so the familiar Qi didn''t linger for long but her love for Qie Ranzhe grew day by day.


    This was the reason she crawled into the sect leader''s bed and stayed when others took thepensation. She wasn''t asking for anything more other than the privilege to stay by Qie Ranzhe''s side. Well, that is until she saw Qie Ranzhe go in and out of that slut Zhao Zhi''s room.


    At first, she thought it was an innocent interaction between men and overlooked it. But she soon overheard the conversation in the kitchen where Zhao Zhi was implying that Qie Ranzhe kissed him. One can understand how much vinegar she drank from that one conversation.


    Qie Ranzhe meant so much more to her than the other harem members who just loved his looks and prestige. This was her one true love. Thinking this happened because Qie Ranzhe was drunk she decided to investigate.


    Not only did she find out they slept in the same room for two days straight but some suspicious activity happened the previous night. When she saw Qie Ranzhe straighten Zhao Zhi''s clothes with such tender affection in his eyes, she lost it. That was thest nail on the coffin. Zhao Zhi had to go.


    This is why she didn''t hesitate to approach the monks after sending a talisman transmission to one of them under everyone''s noses. As long as they took Zhao Zhi away everything would go back to normal or so she thought.


    She managed to rob Dai Yu''s jade b issued to her by Qie Ranzhe which gave her the authority to open the barrier. She stole it from Dai Yu''s room and went to the barrier to meet up with the monks.


    "All you want is Zhao Zhi, right?" she said clutching the jade b in her mmy hand. One could tell she was nervous but she also wanted that man gone. It was because of that that she encouraged herself to follow through with her n.


    "Yes, that''s right. We only want Zhao Zhi," replied the shortest of the four reassuring her.


    Mingxia shook her head and asked, "No one else will get hurt?" She held nothing against the rest of the sect. In fact, she had grown to like them and treat them like family. Her enemy was Zhao Zhi and no one else. She didn''t want anything bad to happen to her family and in her mind opening the barrier was a means to protect the sect.


    If what the monks said about demonsing after their sect because of Zhao Zhi then handing him over would only serve as her protecting the sect.


    "We only want Zhao Zhi so please be reassured miss," replied the monk through gritted teeth. He was starting to lose patients with this girl. She had already decided to betray the sect so what was she hesitating for?


    She nodded her head but as she was about to hand it over she heard a loud voice making her drop the jade b out of nervousness.


    "What are you doing?!" yelled Wen Qinxi from a distance.

 Chapter 448: Fifth World: Civilized System

    Chapter 448: Fifth World: Civilized System


    Mingxia was a ssic example of being caught in the middle of doing something really bad. Just like in those cop shows on TV when the offender is caught red-handed stealing a car she exhibited all the ssic symptoms of a very guilty person.


    She couldn''t believe her shitty luck fumbling on the ground for the jade b she dropped when Zhao Zhi startled her. What Mingxia? Her name should have been something else like Eyun (bad luck) or something.


    Imagine having decided to do something detrimental to someone like that hot girl who is always walking down the hall like a supermodel or maybe your younger sibling who keeps getting better grades than you making you the subject of your parent''s scolding every day. And then youe up with an intricate or borate n and execute it perfectly only to get caught by the exact person you were scheming against.


    Yeah, really messed up, right? Well, that''s what happened to her and now she was caught between continuing with her well thought out n only that they will be a witness to her crime or repent and beg for mercy. Of course, she wasn''t smart enough to choose thetter option and chose to go straight for the kill.


    Without saying a single word she picked up the jade b with her trembling fingers and tossed it out of the barrier to the monks. Wen Qinxi didn''t believe she would follow through with her n but it seemed he had seriously underestimated her.


    If he knew her background and what she had been through he would have treated her as an even bigger threat than Zhao Huangzhi.


    Zhao Huangzhi was crazy but this girl couldn''t plead guilty by insanity. She was a calctive, maniptive bitch a.k.a. crazy in love. She could burn a house down without anyone knowing and when she is done no normal person would associate her with an arsonist.


    That is to say by the time Wen Qinxi reacted it was already toote with the monks taking the barrier down which marked the beginning of chaos much more chaotic than a ck Friday sale at an appliance store.


    Wen Qinxi found himself engaged in battle with four monks at the same time which was extremely challenging. He was under heavy fire struggling to watch his back against four people which meant getting hit was inevitable. It was after he was struck by an iron chain on his thigh for the second time did he recall that shitty system that had been behaving like a holy mother these couple of hours.


    ''Jolie, you bettere out here and be my fuckin third eye,'' he said leaping backwards to dodge a binding talisman cast in his direction. If that talisman touched his skin it will basically be game over for him ending the battle in a matter of minutes.


    As expected, the system came running like the perfect butler ready to serve its master. Only the heavens know how much strength it took to restrain itself from retaliating. This is what it wanted to say, ''Who are you fuckin ordering around? Do you know I am a fuckin expensive AI, not your personal concierge? A fuckin please would be nice,'' vs what it actually said, ''Yes boss, how may I be of service?''


    Yes, go on and st the system. It has a serious fuckin problem. The sass was an inborn thing inherited from its father a.k.a. Wen Qinxi himself. It made one wonder if Wen Qinxi''s witty retorts to his coworkers in the researchb were absorbed by the AI during its creation.


    Like a woman who drank a few sips of energy drink when she was pregnant, it makes one wonder if it had any effect at all on her unborn child. Could it be the reason why she ended up with a hyperactive toddler? Such is the case with Jolie. We''ll never know how or why it developed into a sassy system.


    ''Why are you so well behaved? It''s weird,'' replied Wen Qinxi while forming an ice spear with magic frost fighting alongside him. He threw the icespear like a javelin stricking one of the monks in the shoulder like a kebab. The monk tumbled to the ground with a loud thud as blood gushed out from his wound.


    The system wanted to snort coldly but it recalled its encounter with Qie Ranzhe and thus decided to behave like a civilised system. ''This is how I am from now on so how can I help you?'' replied the system maintaining a stiff smile like an air hostess after being scolded by a first-ss passenger.


    Wen Qinxi couldn''t be bothered pressing the issue because he had more urgent matters. It''s like when a rudezy child suddenly starts to clean up after themselves while speaking in a polite tone. It''s either of these two reasons. One is that they want something or two they are plotting your murder in their head a dozen times over.


    Wen Qinxi couldn''t be certain which scenario best applied to him. ''I need you to guide me. I have never fought this many people at the same time,'' he said blocking a sword attack by one of the monks.


    ''Oh, no problem,'' said the system turning giddy all of a sudden and appearing in its physical form of its own volition for the first time. It was still portrayed as a little girl with pigtails and a red blue dress.


    Wen Qinxi, ''....''


    Of course, he was the only one who could see it but he wished it would just go invisible. ''I will help you if you promise to change this look to my own preference. Do we have a deal?'' said the system seeming dissatisfied by its appearance.


    ''And there it is,'' thought Wen Qinxi figuring out what the system wanted. It behaved so unruly towards him but it was well behaved in Qie Ranzhe''s presence. He knew this goodie-goodie act wouldn''tst long.


    ''Fine.... fuck!'' said Wen Qinxi as a third monk swung a sharp dagger across his handsome face. He managed to dodge but still got nicked on his cheeks before a heavy kicknded on his back making him fly a few feet into the distance.


    This fight was unfair and it was a miracle he hadsted this long. Wen Qinxi regained his footing after being kicked in the back and touched the ce where his cheek had been cut. There was a little bit of blood on his fingertips making him extremely upset.


    He summoned magic frost back to his hand while the system exined. ''I have analyzed the situation and calcted the probability that you would win this fight. It''s a 99.999% just as long as you follow my instructions,'' said the system with a cunning smile that made Wen Qinxi turn his head twice. He suddenly had a bad premonition.

 Chapter 449: Fifth World: Vanishing From The Face Of The Earth

    Chapter 449: Fifth World: Vanishing From The Face Of The Earth


    ''What happened to the 0.001%?'' he asked eyeing the sinister monks with deep-seated hate in his eyes.


    ''That is for when you don''t listen to me... remember that. Now go,'' said the system urging Wen Qinxi tounch his attack.


    As soon as he reached the three monks he heard the system''s instructions clearly but something was wrong. Maybe it was just his ears.


    ''And a one and a two and a three slide right, hard elbow left, kick back, twirl and swing magic frost in a perfect arc...,'' said the system making Wen Qinxi vexed as he followed its instructions. To be fair, it worked but why did it sound more like a dance cheorgraphy?


    ''I think the only thing missing is an 80s exercise music,'' said Wen Qinxi in a sarcastic tone but to his surprise, the system began to y a workout song from you guessed it, the 80s. That wasn''t even the worst of it. Jolie was following the steps as it said them out loud which undoubtedly looked like a morning show exercise TV programme.


    Wen Qinxi, "...."


    Jolie seemed to be enjoying itself which was highly infectious. He was also starting to get into it when all the bad guys were defeated. The monks suffered huge losses battling with Wen Qinxi.


    Seeing that the monks were defeated, Mingxia who had been watching this entire time couldn''t help but run for her life. She wanted to run away earlier but she was mesmerised by Zhao Zhi''s graceful elegance while fighting. He was like an immortal transcended from heaven grasping her undivided attention.


    She could finally understand why Qie Ranzhe would fall for Zhao Zhi. She might have understood but she couldn''t ept it. She truly believed that no one in this world loved her sect leader as much as she did and therefore deserved to be with him.


    No one else could love Qie Ranzhe the way she did or so she thought. If she knew this Zhao Zhi had endured mech battles, dealt with psycho bitches and died for Qie Ranzhe through four lives she would be shocked to death.


    "Uh uh, no! Where the fuck do you think you are going?" he said freezing her in ce literally. How could she think of running after starting all this shit?


    "You are a monster! If you care for sect leader Qie then you should leave the Qie sect before the demon king kills us all," she said but Wen Qinxi wasn''t listening to her rubbish. He was about to drag her back to where Qie Ranzhe and the others were fighting when he heard amotioning from Qie Ranzhe''s Pavilion.


    "Reflect on your bad behaviour, " he said before riding magic frost to the Pavillion. As soon as he arrived there he stumbled as he got off magic frost after feeling a stinging pain and someone calling Lian-er over and over again in a soft voice. Wen Qinxi found he was feeling unwell but he had to get Qie Xieling so he steadied himself and walked into the Pavilion.


    As expected, it was a war zone inside the bedroom he left Qie Xieling in. A monk was trying to get to Qie Xieling but the kid was incredibly fast. Wen Qinxi didn''t waste time twisting the monk''s neck in a sh. As soon as he achieved this his body felt weak as he leaned against the wall.


    "Shixiong!" yelled Qie Xieling as he rushed to Zhao Zhi''s side. Zhao Zhi was clutching his chest tightly like he was having a heart attack. Not knowing what to do, Qie Xieling took out some spirit re-plenishing pills and gave them all to Zhao Zhi but his Shixiong refused struggling to stand up.


    "Take me outside," said Wen Qinxi feeling like he was going to die in the very next instant. He was starting to specte that he was poisoned and wasn''t aware of it. As soon as they stepped outside, Wen Qinxi was suddenly attracted to the nearest water body. He strongly felt his pain would be relieved as long as he got into the water.


    Qie Xieling was extremely panicked not knowing what to do. He looked up to find his father but Qie Ranzhe was engaged in battle with a monk. He couldn''t cry out to him lest he distracts his father. "Shixiong, Shixiong," called out Qie Xieling in a panicked voice, "Shixiong, what should I do?"


    Looking at Wen Qinxi''s appearance right now you wouldn''t believe he was the same man who was following the system''s instructions in something simr to a dance routine fending off three monks. Well, four if you count the monk who cowered on the ground after one stab.


    The attack was so sudden and the pain grew stronger and stronger making him feel like his chest was going to give birth to an alien baby like in the SciFi movies.


    "Theke," he said in a tremulous voice. Qie Xieling understood and took him to the nearestke at a snail''s pace.


    This allowed the taoist priest to notice a defenceless Zhao Zhi prompting him to attack and finish the job. This was his duty, a job appointed to him by the heavens to eliminate evil and protect the mortal realm. Having noticed that Qie Ranzhe hadn''t spotted Zhao Zhi yet he took the opportunity to send one of his vicious rings in the pair''s direction.


    It was like a frisbee on steroids, the ring made a crackling sound as it spun in the air towards Zhao Zhi.


    Like a heat-seeking missile, this ring would never miss its target once it locked on with only a handful of people able to dodge. From the Taoist priest''s point of view, Zhao Zhi was a dead man but hepletely forgot that Zhao Zhi had a big advantage. Now that he remembered who he was he could open teleportation portals in any water body be it ake, river, sea or stream.


    And that is exactly what Wen Qinxi did when he saw that ring flying in their direction. It was then that Qie Ranzhe noticed something was wrong. He vanished from where he stood attempting to rescue his son and Zhao Zhi but he was toote or rather Wen Qinxi was faster pulling Qie Xieling into the portal which vanished into thin air as soon as they fell in.


    The ring missed the portal by a split second shing the surface of theke. Qie Ranzhe re-appeared in front of where the pair disappeared but it was already toote. They were gone and he had no idea where they would end up.


    That in itself frightened and angered him at the same time. He could no longer sense his son''s Qi. It was as though he had vanished from the face of the earth which was uneptable.


    His chest tightened as an inexplicable zing fire rose within him like a raging storm. He had never provoked anyone and kept to himself avoiding trouble but trouble still found him. This was entirely that Taoist priest''s fault and once he decided that it meant this man wasn''t going to walk out of here alive.

 Chapter 450: Fifth World: Mingxias Lies

    Chapter 450: Fifth World: Mingxia''s Lies


    Something seemed to have changed in Qie Ranzhe the moment he met the Taoist priest''s gaze. It was like he was already on the fence right at the border between crazy and normal and all it took was this to tip him over to the dark side. That is to say, Qie Ranzhe ckened faster than how long it took Anakin Skywalker to ckened to Darth Vader.


    The speed at which he awakened the beast within was as fast as making instant potatoes. Just mix that shit in water and boom you have got fluffy potatoes for Thanksgiving dinner in an instant.


    He lost everything the day he lost his family but he worked through the grief and picked up the pieces. Two decadester and someone tries to pull the same stunt so how could he let them live?


    The Taoist priest felt a suffocating pressure looming over his head with each step Qie Ranzhe took towards him. He was walking towards him unhurriedly but at this moment it felt like he was taking forever swaggering over in arrogant steps. His eyes were zing murderously holding the Taoist priest in ce.


    Feeling the shadow of death cast upon him he readied himself to fight to the death. He still had unfinished business with Zhao Zhi so how could he not fight for his life. He had failed in his duty and needed a second try so he summoned his other ring back. With a swoosh, the ring came back up from the bottom of theke returning to its owner but as it passed Qie Ranzhe it was suddenly seized.


    This startled the Taoist priest so much that he staggered a little watching such a scene. Touching those rings was equivocal to seeking death that is if anyone other than himself touched them. This was a divine artefact after all but right now Qie Ranzhe was holding it without any issues.


    These rings only recognized one master that is to say one master bestowed by the heavens. When their previous master dies they ascend to the gods above till they are appointed a new master. They were legendary because it took over a thousand years for the rings of death to get a new master.


    Everyone knew never to touch those sharp rings unless they were tired of living but right now Qie Ranzhe was holding that ring with a smirk on his face. He lifted his other hand and sure enough, the other ring left the Taoist priest''s hand recognizing its new master.


    This was simply unbelievable. It seemed the Taoist priest was demoted right in front of his subordinates with absolutely no room for negotiations. The Taoist priest didn''t even get a chance to process how he felt about this when the same rings were used to attack him.


    The rings were aze as they tore the Taoist priest''s arms off cleanly. His body fell back a few feet due to the impact. He couldn''t believe it. Did this mean the heavens were displeased with him and reced him? But Qie Ranzhe was harbouring evil so how could he be his recement. This was like apany director being reced by a recent graduate with no experience but a long rap sheet of petty crimes.


    The Taoist priest struggled to get up and when he finally managed to get on his knees he was suddenly beheaded with his head rolling towards Dai Yu an innocent bystander. She screamed while jumping on the nearby Shao Lan into a princess carry. She talks big all day but this was a little too real for her. She didn''t mind blood but rolling heads were too creepy.


    Shao Lan dropped her like a hot potato with a chaotic mind. Their sect leader had just killed a prominent figure in the cultivation world. Everyone knew not to mess with these monks chosen by the heavens but Qie Ranzhe just killed their leader without hesitation. Because of this, he could smell trouble from a mile away.


    If he knew Qie Ranzhe would do this he would have stopped him but now that the carton of milk had a hole in it there was no way of putting the milk back. He was loyal to his sect leader no matter how detrimental his decisions were. This is why he didn''t hesitate to drive his sword into the monk he was fighting when Qie Ranzhe said, "Kill them all!"


    Qie Ranzhe walked to theke and crouched down touching the water with his fingertips disturbing the calm surface. It seemed like he was waiting for them to return like a puppy impatiently waiting for the humans toe back from whatever it is they do during the day.


    Well, he was bound to wait for a very long time. If he didn''t take matters into his own hands then he would wait forever. That is when he recalled he had put a tracking talisman on the man with a red demon mask when they fought the mist of death.


    Qie Ranzhe concentrated on finding the culprit. Even if he was under a rock or at the core of the earth, there was no ce he could hide from Qie Ranzhe. And once he found him, Qie Ranzhe stood up to leave. He had no time to waste intending to head straight to the Zhao sect. Whoever wore that mask that night was currently in the Zhao sect.


    Just as he stood up, Machu suddenly threw Mingxia to the ground beside Qie Ranzhe. As her body mmed to the ground she let out a silent whimper. "She says she has something very important to say," said Machu while folding his arms across his chest ring at her.


    "Speak," said Qie Ranzhe with his hands behind his back in an imposing stance. Mingxia quivered as she struggled to get on her knees. "I, I sa-saw Zhao Zhi open the barrier. He, he said he didn''t want the rest of the sect to suffer so he, he opened it to hand himself over," she said terrified out of her mind.


    Qie Ranzhe was especially upset today surrounded by a grim aura. She had a feeling that if she told the truth then she would die here today. But no one bought into her lie. Self-sacrifice is a good concept but not a lot people can do it especially Zhao Zhi not unless Qie Xieling was in trouble.


    "Machu, what is our sect rule on lying?" asked Qie Ranzhe staring at Mingxia who kept her eyes lowered shaking like a leaf. She dared lie to him then she deserved to be punished.


    Machu grinned while saying, "We cut off their tongue and throw them into the dark forest for the spiritual beasts to tear them apart limb from limb." This was thew though no one had ever been subjected to such a horrible punishment.

 Chapter 451: Fifth World: Elmo Sound-alike Grandson

    Chapter 451: Fifth World: Elmo Sound-alike Grandson


    "Then proceed," he said before walking away. It was then that Mingxia realised what sort of situation she was in. She couldn''t ept that so she decided to confess everything then maybe she would be spared.


    "Sect leader Qie, I did it for us. I did it for you! If he didn''t leave we would be under siege. I just did what everyone was thinking.... he had to go. He had to go," she said and to her surprise, it worked. Qie Ranzhe stopped walking away. She attempted to crawl over to him to plead for mercy but Machu held her in ce.


    "What is our sect rule on those whomit treason?" asked Qie Ranzhe clenching his fist tightly.


    Machu ced his index finger on his bottom lip as though thinking. It had been a long time since he went through the rule book and he normally recalled the interesting ones because he used them to scare Qie Xieling when he was naughty as a kid.


    Seeing that Machu was taking long he answered his own question. "Death by a thousand cuts and their body would be hung outside the sect for two days to serve as a reminder to everyone not tomit the same offence. It seems you have a lot of work to do," he said before walking away for real this time.


    Mingxia''s entire body crumbled to the ground and she couldn''t help but start wailing calling out to Qie Ranzhe. Her heart was pierced a thousand times over. It was then she realised she would never be with the man of her dreams in this lifetime. Not only did she suffer from unrequited love but her crush sentenced her to death. Losing the will to live she stood up and ran straight into a pir which killed her instantly. A pool of blood and fragmented bone and brain matter messed the floor giving Machu goosebumps all over his body.


    Machu, "..."


    "Well, that''s that... hey you,e clean this up," he said to a passerby disciple who was minding his own business.


    "Me?" he asked pointing at his nose with a puzzled look. He even looked around to see if this senior was talking to someone else.


    "Yes you, seriously why can''t I get good help around here, tsk," said Machu before rushing to catch up with Qie Ranzhe. He needed to make sure his boss won''t do any more crazy things today. The fact that he killed that Taoist priest and his monks the entire righteous sect would look for trouble with them as soon as they find out.


    Those old farts would use this as an excuse to take down the Qie sect and loot their treasures and the richnd the Qie sect stood. War was inevitable at this point. If they could use diplomatic means that would be great but the situation was incredibly vtile.


    While Machu was trying to cool his boss''s anger, Qie Xieling was stuck with an unconscious Zhao Zhi at the bottom of ake. They had both transformed with their graceful merman tails swaying with the water. Qie Xieling was sitting on a rock with his hand propping up his cheeks staring at his gorgeous tail. He was waiting for Zhao Zhi to wake up from hisatose state.


    At this point, he had already tried dozens of times to wake him up to no avail. So he gave up and decided to wait. He waited for a very long time crossing his fingers that no creature woulde and try to have them for dinner.


    Speaking of dinner, Qie Xieling was so hungry but he hadn''t packed any snacks. Recalling how his Shixiong had so many things in his interspatial ring, he decided to take a look and sure enough, he found some good stuff. He was so immersed in indulging himself that he didn''t realise something was wrong.


    He munched like a squirrel with bulging cheeks looking especially guilty. "What are you doing?" said a familiar voiceing from behind him.


    Qie Xieling was startled dropping whatever he was eating with a loud plop. "Nothing," he said turning around to hug his Shixiong. He didn''t even realise his voice had changed like he had inhaled helium let alone his blue mouth. The shock of being caught wore off reced by the excitement that his Shixiong was awake.


    Qie Xieling jumped into Zhao Zhi''s arms bringing them both down to the ground. Qie Xieling was especially dramatic hugging Zhao Zhi tightly while expressing his grievances. "Shixiong, you scared me. I was so terrified..... wuwuwu I thought you were going to die and leave me all alone in this dump. Wuwuwu shixiong, I thought we were goners," wailed Qie Xieling. Bear in mind this entire time his mouth was blue and his voice sounded like Elmo''s.


    Wen Qinxi couldn''t bear it anymore snickering while struggling to get up. This was the funniest thing he had ever seen. Whatever Qie Xieling ate from his interspatial ring was something the previous Zhao Zhi confiscated from a bunch of disciples who were eating these berries distracting other disciples. And now Qie Xieling found them and ate them. It seemed he needed to put a child lock on his interspatial ring.


    "Why, why are youughing Shixiong," he asked looking like if a smurf and Elmo had a baby. Wen Qinxi couldn''t take at it anymore especially when he was asking with a straight face.


    "Hahaha, I, I am sorry but that''s so fuckin funny... Hahahaha. Listen to your voice, hahahaha," said Wen Qinxi barely able to speak.


    Only then did Qie Xieling realise his voice sounded funny. His eyes widened covering his mouth in astonishment. "Shi-shixiong. Ah! Will it ever go away?" said Qie Xieling hesitating to speak. His voice sounded super weird.


    "Just sto-stop talking hahaha," said Wen Qinxiughing even louder, "that''s not all. Take, take out the bronze mirror."


    Qie Xieling''s head drooped looking at himself in the mirror. The blue was smeared all over his mouth. What shitty luck was this?


    "Shixiong stopughing..... I..... mhm mmm," thest part was said when his mouth was suddenly covered by Zhao Zhi''s hand before he was dragged behind the rock.


    From a distance, Wen Qinxi could see a group of merman patrolling the area. If they were found that deranged bastard of a king would have a field day with them. He ced his index finger on his lip telling Qie Xieling to keep it down. As soon as they disappeared, Qie Xieling asked, "Who are they?" in a whisper.


    He hadn''t realised yet that he was snuck into his grandparent''s kingdom. One can only wonder what grandma''s reaction would be when she meets her blue mouthed Elmo sound-alike grandson.


    "This is my previous home. It''s not safe here. Let me take you back to the Qie sect. Your father must be worried," he exined in a whisper but it was like trying to reason with Qie Ranzhe. Both of them are so stubborn and of course, Wen Qinxi wouldn''t be able to win against such tenacity.


    "Fine, fine... just stay close," is what Wen Qinxi said after being weighed down by Qie Xieling after only two minutes. These two will surely drive him insane.

 Chapter 452: Fifth World: A Son Pays For His Fathers Sins

    Chapter 452: Fifth World: A Son Pays For His Father''s Sins


    In a deste beautiful pce made of bright and vibrant rose gold coral was a gorgeous mermaid with a transcendent tail swaying to the rhythm of her slow hum. Her once long tinum grey hair had been cut till it was neck length but she didn''t seem bothered by it with her gorgeous hazel eyes focused on what appeared to be a pendant.


    One could easily tell with a single nce that she was in a horrible mood despite her surroundings being serene. Her pce gates were heavily guarded by a group of mermen d in gold ted armour. In their hands they held gold half-pike type of spear known as spontoon.


    Their helmets clearly stipted their rank which was the king''s personal guard. Even without their helmets, their aura spoke volumes giving off the vibe ofe closer if you want a suicidal death by soldiers. They were much more serious than the queen''s guard outside Buckingham Pce.


    One would assume they were there to protect the queen but that wasn''t the case at all.


    This I love my wife so I am protecting her scenario was basically a balloon filled with water and then frosted with icing to dress it up as a cake when it''s not even Halloween.


    It was all an illusion. What was truly going on was that the queen was under house arrest. She couldn''t so much as peep through the window without permission. The queen had caused so many problems for the king when it came to his dealings with the demon king which almost cost him their partnership.


    So under the guise that his wife had a mental breakdown and required treatment, he locked her up in the pce and tried to give her medicines to make her seem out of it. But she was the daughter of the former king after all. She wasn''t some naive little girl from K series who falls straight into the enemy''s trap every time.


    She manipted the situation that is to say when he came over for a visit she would act loony. On one such asion she was training with her dagger when her husband walked in unannounced to check on her. Unwillingly to sell herself out she took off her hairpin, sat on the floor and started cutting her beautiful hair with her dagger. All along she was mumbling some incoherent words.


    This sight made the king reassured since he knew how obsessed his wife was with her hair. She had to be crazy to ruin such an important thing to her. Since then the king didn''t make his appearance sending the medicine over all the time. The dust had finally settled for the king and he couldn''t be happier.


    So her long tinum grey hair was unprofessionally styled to trick her husband. At least now he was no longer watching her like a hawk so she could finally rx. It was because of the king''sx behaviour that Zhao Zhi and Qie Xieling managed to sneak into her pce unnoticed.


    The two chose toe in through the window. One can only imagine the queen''s reaction when the window was forcibly opened and two mermen rolled in. She mistook the two for assassins at first so she drew her dagger from her brassiere armour and took up a battle stance.


    She snuck up on the two raised her dagger to attack but the moment she saw that face with a mouth smeared with a blue colour she dropped her dagger and pped hard across Qie Xieling''s face overlooking the tail on his body. "You vile thing! You daree back here when you ruined my son''s life," she yelled unable to distinguish between Qie Ranzhe and Qie Xieling. As expected the son paid for the sins of his father two decadester.


    "Ouch, Shixiong. She hit me,"ined Qie Xieling rubbing his sore cheek in the Elmo voice that had the two feeling awkward.


    The queen raised a brow and asked, "What''s wrong with your voice?" She had never heard Qie Ranzhe speak but there is no way in hell she would have thought he would sound like that. This made her upset even more. Her son was knocked up by a handsome man with a high pitched rabbit voice. This was too much for this olddy.


    "Mother," called out Wen Qinxi to get her attention, "that''s not him. This is your grandson," while inspecting Qie Xieling''s reddened cheek.


    The queen''s face went from a slight frown to a beaming smile disregarding her own son. She took Qie Xieling''s hand while doting on him like a porcin doll.


    "Oh darling, nana didn''t mean it. Come let nana see where it hurts," she said touching his chin to turn his face around, "I am so sorry. Nana will make you feel all better."


    As she said this she created a ball of white luminous light in the palm of her hand and ced it on Qie Xieling''s cheek.


    Two secondster, the swelling had simply vanished like he wasn''t pped a second ago. Qie Xieling smiled at her feeling like he had gained something very important. Of course, the biggest loser tonight was Wen Qinxi. Even if he wasn''t actually Zhao Zhi shouldn''t his mother at least hug him or say long time no see?


    "What''s your name?" she asked with a smile that reached her eyes. She recalled how this little one held her finger tightly staring at her with those big doleful eyes like she was the most important person in the world to him.


    This beautiful memory constantly shed in her mind for the past two decades. Now those eyes were looking at her again only this time the kid was all grown up.


    "Xieling, I am Xieling," he said with that high pitch voice looking so docile.


    "Aww so cute," she said pinching his cheek in excitement, "Nana will call you Lin Lin from now on. Are you hungry? I can get you some food."


    "Ahem," said Wen Qinxi clearing his throat loudly feeling like a light bulb. She turned to look at him but instead of a loving wee, it was more like a loving scolding.


    "I took you out of this ce only for you toe back with my grandson. Are you nuts? Do you know how dangerous this ce is for the both of you?" she said. This had Wen Qinxi suspect that Zhao Zhi was adopted.


    "I don''t know what happened. I heard someone calling me and felt unwell then we both ended up here out of sheer coincidence," he exined and the more he spoke the more she understood what happened.


    She had these kinds of powerful dreams over the years where she called out to her son. The desire to see her son again drove these powerful dreams that part of her soul would go looking for him.

 Chapter 453: Fifth World: Nana Doting On Lin Lin

    Chapter 453: Fifth World: Nana Doting On Lin Lin


    This summoning was done unconsciously but her son never showed up. That is until today. This was because when it happened in the past, Zhao Zhi had no recollection of his past and a huge part of his memories were sealed. The moment he regained his memories it meant he could be influenced by his mother''s powerful dream which brought him here.


    "Oh, I know you missed mummy dearest and wanted to see me. Come,e mum understands," she said reaching out to him. The two embraced while exchanging words offort that is until she deliberately ruined the moment saying, "Now go get my Lin Lin some food. I am all alone so no one will see you."


    Wen Qinxi, "..."


    This is a good example of a parent bing a ve to their bundle of joy for the rest of their life. Wen Qinxi walked out and left the two chatting it up like best friends. He so hoped his real mother wouldn''t be like this in the real world otherwise he and Wen Dazhe would implement their lifelong n of not having children and get their mother a dog instead.


    While Wen Qinxi was ving away for his son, his boyfriend sh baby daddy was stirring up a hurricane in the Zhao sect. It seemed all the sects were having an annual gathering without his sect as always. Just like how Qie Xieling barged into the main hall to im his prize, Qie Ranzhe did the same thing only that his aura was oppressive that it made all the elders tense up in his presence.


    They had been gathering for a century-old tradition which epassed inviting all the sects for their disciples topete in duels with the winning sect gaining prestige for their sect and amazing prizes. They invited all the sects apart from the Qie sect using the excuse that the sect had fewer disciples and hadn''t been established for over fifty years disqualifying them from the get-go.


    But when they heard that Qie Ranzhe killed the heavenly ordained Taoist priest and his entourage of monks thepetition changed to a meeting on how to deal with the Qie sect and its unstable leader.


    Plenty of things were said like how they knew he was emotionally unstable and that he was associated with the demonic sect. Some even went as far as saying he was the one who had his family killed in thatbyrinth which exined why he was the only one who survived.


    The words murderer and homicidal maniac were thrown into the mix but they would never have the audacity to say it to his face as demonstrated at this moment. The entire hall was silent with the crowd even afraid to breathe loudly lest they attract Qie Ranzhe''s unwanted attention.


    The only sound heard was the footsteps of Qie Ranzhe and his gang walking to the front of the main hall. No one dared to make a move and break the silence. They were all curious to see what Qie Ranzhe wanted to do especially when he was outnumbered like this. Qie Ranzhe didn''t speak searching with his spiritual energy for the man who wore the red mask among the group of Zhao Sect disciples.


    The guilty party seemed to sense something and decided to quietly slip out of the main hall but it was already toote. Qie Ranzhe stretched out his hand and his soul binding chain shot from his waist and immediately coiled around the culprit''s body incapacitating him. Qie Ranzhe clenched his fist and the chain brought the culprit towards him.


    With a loud thud, the man''s body was mmed to the ground making one cringe at the sight. "Sect leader, sect leader please save this disciple!" yelled the man pleading with sect leader Zhao. Sect leader Zhao also didn''t want to offend this great buddha but his reputation was on the line and this disciple was third inmand after Zhao Zhi which meant he was a senior disciple.


    Like an all bark no bite dog, he mmed his fist on the table and shouted, "Sect leader Qie how arrogant of you to walk in here without my permission and pick on my disciple. You murdered a heavenly ordained Taoist priest in cold blood and now you are harassing my disciple in broad daylight. How amazing you are," he said in a sarcastic tone with the other elders nodding in agreement.


    It seemed they hade to the consensus that Qie Ranzhe was public enemy number one and he has to be dealt with. A few brave souls whispered to each other while watching Qie Ranzhe with great vignce. They seemed ready to attack at any time and subdue this sect leader.


    But the entire main hall was agape when Qie Ranzhe took out the rings belonging to the Taoist priest. Everyone even new recruits knew about the legend of this pair of heavenly rings so how could they simply not understand what it meant.


    Despite knowing that Qie Ranzhe was now the new master of these rings they still couldn''t believe it. Some thought he used some powerful dark Qi to prevent the rings from vanishing after the Taoist priest died. Since they used him of being associated with the demon sect this reasoning seemed usible.


    But of course, they were wrong. Qie Ranzhe wasn''t in a good mood. He had a lover and son to find so he turned his vicious gaze towards sect leader Zhao making the man gulp with his foreheadced with a fineyer of cold sweat.


    He had poked the beehive dozens of times and it was about time he paid the piper. Qie Ranzhe leapt in front of sect leader Zhao and grabbed him by the neck. He then returned to his original position with the sect leader''s neck in one hand and the rings in the next.


    The elders hurriedly stood up in horror while sending over their disciples to rescue the Zhao sect leader but they found they couldn''t get to him because Qie Ranzhe had created a barrier around him and his friends. The situation turned chaotic as the elders helplessly watched the life get squeezed out of their colleague.


    Qie Ranzhe was like a beast unleashed from its cage squeezing the sect leader''s throat with no reservations. His eyes were as red as saffron his hands trembling from anger. He was kneeling on one knee strangling the sect leader who was lying on the ground kicking vigorously demonstrating his desire to live.


    "Where is he?" he asked sending chills down sect leader Zhao''s spine. He knew who Qie Ranzhe was asking for but he didn''t know where that person could be so how was he supposed to save his insignificant life now?

 Chapter 454: Fifth World: Airing Sect Leader Zhaos Dirty Laundry

    Chapter 454: Fifth World: Airing Sect Leader Zhao''s Dirty Laundry


    Sect leader Zhao stared deep into those obsidian eyes that shone with a mesmerizing brilliance that could easily draw one''s soul out of their body. His face was red as the veil of death hovered above his head.


    He had failed this disciple so many times and discarded him like a used condom once he got what he needed. He knew he was ying with fire but Qie Ranzhe''s excellence kept him chipping at his disciple till he let him go after realising his disciple was about to discover his true nature.


    This is why he not only expelled Qie Ranzhe from the Zhao sect but he also incited other sect leaders to not ept him into their sects after painting the most heinous picture of him. His n worked but he underestimated Qie Ranzhe. What he didn''t realise is that one can never suppress greatness.


    Like the brightest star Betelgeuse, just because one can''t see it every single night doesn''t mean it''s no longer the brightest and biggest star anymore. But of course, this sect leader didn''t know this.


    Now the very same disciple he discarded in the garbage disposal had not only built a rich powerful sect, acquired the heavenly divine rings but he was also much more powerful than any of the elders present. This meant none of them could rescue him from this predicament neither could he save himself. What terrible luck he had stumbling into these two brothers from hell.


    A devilish smile crept up on Qie Ranzhe''s face as he squeezed the man''s neck tighter resembling a demon from the deepest part of hell.


    "Sect leader Zhao, I highly suggest you start talking otherwise I will hand down a punishment crueller than death," he said before loosening the grip on the man''s neck. People like sect leader Zhao care more about their appearance than anything else.


    They would rather die with a great reputation than live with their dirtyundry aired out for the entire world to see. As soon as Qie Ranzhe said this the sect leader''s pupils constricted and he unconsciously struggled.


    The elders outside the barrier who were throwing all they had at the hurdle trying to rescue him stopped their attacks. That is to say, it wasn''t a soundproof barrier but of course, sect leader Zhao was too horror-stricken to notice.


    Machu strode over to pick up the worm tied up by the soul suppressing chain that was trying to wiggle away. He knew the man couldn''t go far but he didn''t want him to upset Qie Ranzhe who might identally roast him out of annoyance.


    They still needed this man to lead them to his boss''s evilyer which is to say they didn''t really need sect leader Zhao''s help but why would Qie Ranzhe pass up the opportunity to screw with his former master.


    "All your dirty little secretssss....," whispered Machu with a sly smile as he picked up the wiggly worm while staring at sect leader Zhao with disgust in his eyes. They looted the Qie family treasure and basically got away with it saying this is what my disciple would have wanted.


    If he weren''t weak at that time he would have dug out the man''s heart and see how ck it was. Sect leader Zhao could only re at Machu with his red eyes but even that didn''t faze the man. It was like being red at by a frog which would be effective if Machu was a fly.


    "Do you want me to tell them about your dealings with the demonic sect or maybe the identity behind the brothel in the northern city? How about the real reason your outer disciples were skinned and hung in a tree? Or how Zhao Zhi is not your son but a disciple you took advantage o-...," said Qie Ranzhe with his grip on the sect leader''s neck getting subconsciously tighter.


    "I, I kno-know whe-where argh.... uh...," spoke sect leader Zhao desperate to protect his reputation. If his scandals were exposed to the world he wouldn''t be able to recover from them. He was immersed in saving face that he didn''t notice the ugly expressions on the elders.


    Knowing that the man he trusted all these years not only betrayed him but also betrayed Zhao Zhi pretending to be his father while using his hair and nails to refine pills to grow his cultivation made Qie Ranzhe feel sick in the stomach.


    If Qie Anzhie hadn''t scared sect leader Zhao to restrain himself what would have happened the moment this sect leader felt like he needed to advance faster. This vile man had no bottom line and would have taken things further. The furthest he would have gone would have been determined by how much power he desired.


    He hated his vile half brother but at least he bought him time otherwise who knows what kind of abuse Zhao Zhi would have been subjected to.


    Qie Ranzhe''s grip loosened letting him speak. The sect leader coughed vigorously while dragging his body backwards putting some distance between him and Qie Ranzhe. His entire body was trembling eyeing Qie Ranzhe with obvious hate in his eyes.


    He rubbed his sore throat while saying, "I will tell you but..... we have to sign a tongue binding contract. As long as you sign agreeing to never mention such things I, I will tell you," in a taut voice. He knew this was a long shot but he had to try.


    As expected, Qie Ranzhe found it rather amusing as a sinister haughty chuckle escaped his throat causing goosebumps to break out all over sect leader Zhao''s body.


    "It''s incredibly funny how you think you are in the position to bargain with me," said Qie Ranzhe before his smile sank reced by a grim expression that made the older man tremble in fright, "Speak!"


    This loud roar echoed in the main hall as he clutched at the man''s cor in anger. "His mo-mother''s grave, east, east of herein, in the bamboo forest," exined the sect leader terrified out of his mind.


    The murderous aura surrounding Qie Ranzhe was enough to frighten him into wetting his pants. He would rather face a high-level spiritual beast at this moment. At least then he would have a fighting chance unlike when facing Qie Ranzhe.


    Qie Ranzhe mmed the sect leader''s head on the floor before standing up to leave. He had achieved his goal and didn''t have any more time to waste with this righteous prick. The longer he spent apart from Zhao Zhi the more unsettled he felt. He had to see him, touch him and kiss him to settle the tumult in his heart.


    Maybe it was because they had a child together or maybe because he was his first which made him feel this way. He found he couldn''t think straight ever since Zhao Zhi disappeared. This feeling of losing control was especially upsetting which is why he would offend and kill whoever stood in his way.

 Chapter 455: Fifth World: Machu Does The Heavy Lifting While Others Flirt

    Chapter 455: Fifth World: Machu Does The Heavy Lifting While Others Flirt


    As Qie Ranzhe and his entourage exited the main hall, Dai Yu took out her whip and whipped at the sect leader ripping out a piece of his flesh. The cracking sound of the whip made the elders suck in a cold breath of air with sect leader Zhao wailing in pain while cursing Dai Yu.


    "You bitch.... AAAAAHHHHH! I am going to fuckin kill you," he said threatening Dai Yu but she wasn''t moved.


    She looked down at her scarlet red nails and said, "Oh, okay dumbass. Come find me after they are done with punishing your righteous ass.... ha haha, ah!" The squirm came out after Shao Lan came back and carried her over his shoulders. He had only taken two steps outside the main hall when he found out that Dai Yu wasn''t behind him. If gloating was money then she would be the richest woman in the entire universe.


    Dai Yu''s words made sect leader Zhao''s heart cease beating for a second. He honestly thought Qie Ranzhe''s barrier was soundproof as most are but it turned out his former disciple had tricked him. His business had been aired out to the world right in front of everyone and there was no going back.


    "Ahem, he... uh," he said as he stood up rubbing his sore neck trying to use his charisma to smooth things over but there was no way of ironing out these permanent creases on his reputation. It was already toote.


    A whole load of judgemental eyes stared at him making him livid. "How dare you judge me when you also have secrets. Like elder Lee''s sex addiction or elder Zhang''s hical breeding of spiritual beasts.... hey what, what are you doing?" he said as he watched all the disciples exit the main hall and the door close slowly as thest disciple exited the room.


    He knew what this meant. They were going to start his trial and because he knew a lot about other elders it meant that they would rather shut him up by speeding up his conviction.


    "I motion we issue a gagging order on sect leader Zhao and these proceedings as weunch an investigation," exined sect leader Zhang assuming the leader''s position.


    This was the disadvantage of unifying their sects. They could hold each other ountable and elect a new leader for the Zhao sect without any obstacles. But of course, sect leader Zhao wouldn''t take things lying down. He already had a n in ce to aid his escape.


    While sect leader Zhao was plotting for his freedom, Qie Ranzhe had arrived at the gravesite in the bamboo forest. Machu tossed the still tied up man in front of Qie Ranzhe before sitting down on a boulderining. "Why am I always the one doing the heavy lifting? All you two do is flirt while I am doing all the dirty work. It was me who had to deal with Mingxia now this guy," said Machu ring at Shao Lan who hadn''t put down Dai Yu yet.


    "Excuse me, please enlighten me on how you dealt with Mingxia, huh? Hey.... turn, turn me back around I am trying to have a face-pping moment... no wait, put me down," said Dai Yu when Shao Lan turned around making her face the empty forest instead of Machu that is before she realised she should be asking to be put down instead of making him turn back around.


    Shao Lan was just acting as a peacemaker but the words flirt made him feel ufortable cing Dai Yu on the ground like dropping a hot potato.


    "I was about to slice and dice her but who would have thought she would pull a fast one on me?" replied Machu before picking up a rock and throwing it at the man who was wiggling away again.


    "Argh!" groaned the man as the rock urately struck his head sessfully making him motionless.


    "So you with all your might got outsmarted by a mere mortal?" she said pushing those buttons to cover up her embarrassment for being carried around like a rag doll.


    The two quarrelled for a good while with Shao Lan right in the middle of it. This argument could have gone on forever if it wasn''t for the blood-curdling screamsing from the man they had captured. Qie Ranzhe had drawn out the ming ck cmity and cut the man a cut so deep it could prate the soul.


    "If he is not here then tell me where I can find him," said Qie Ranzhe with the ming ck cmity hovering above the man with its tip pointing at the man''s eye. Qie Ranzhe knew the demon associated with his brother was the one who opened the realm that Zhao Zhi came from. This is why he wanted to find him and use whatever means necessary to gain ess to that realm.


    He couldn''t be sure that he would find Qie Xieling and Zhao Zhi there but if they weren''t then he would find the queen to help him find them. These two were the most important people in his life and he would do anything to find them.


    The man shook his head quivering in fright. He didn''t know where Qie Anzhie''syer was. All he knew was that the man would show up whenever he needed him. Unlike sect leader Zhao, he didn''t even know about this gravesite. His job was to make sure the sect leader didn''t touch Zhao Zhi and that no one got too close to him. He didn''t know why he was given such a task neither did he ask questions. He was in it for the benefits that''s all.


    Now faced with this bloodthirsty man with a sinister air around him, he felt like this job wasn''t particrly worth it. Who would have thought adult sitting one man could be this dangerous?


    Qie Ranzhe closed his eyes as he inhaled deeply suppressing the pain and anger spilling out. It had be particrly obvious that this man had no idea of Qie Anzhie''s whereabouts which meant he was useless.


    Deep breaths weren''t enough to hold back the fiery storm stirring up within him. He clenched his fist as his voice echoed in his mind, "He''s useless, he''s fuckin useless."


    Just then Qie Ranzhe felt a familiar presence. The presence of his enemy approaching at light speed. With a fling of his arm, he had ck cmity behead the man as he leapt up to meet Qie Anzhie.


    Qie Anzhie barely dodged the vicious attack by his half brother. He spun out of control because he came flying at orb speed. Qie Ranzhe took advantage of this sessfully striking him in the chest knocking him out of the sky.


    This caused Qie Anzhie tond on his mother''s grave shattering the memorial tablet to pieces making him lose his mindpletely.

 Chapter 456: Fifth World: Sibling Rivalry

    Chapter 456: Fifth World: Sibling Rivalry


    Sibling rivalry is one of the oldest dated conflicts in the world with the first murder ever to be recorded as a result of it. From the very beginning, the rtionship between these half brothers was never going to be a good one. It was doomed from the start.


    They were born from two different women with the onlymon denominator being their father. The deep hatred and disdain was passed down directly from that umbilical cord when they were born and their father didn''t help matters favouring one son over the other. All this was in the outside world but the feelings ran so deep that Qie Ranzhe reflected their terrible rtionship in-game.


    Qie Anzhie was designed by his mother topete with Qie Ranzhe and prove that he was better than his older brother in every aspect but Qie Ranzhe wasn''t baited into such childish games. This was mainly because his mother was depressed after his father divorced her and kicked her out of the family so he could marry his mistress Qie Anzhie''s mother.


    His father didn''t drive him out of the family but it was apparent that his position as heir was handed down to Qie Anzhie and he was meant to groom his younger half brother to take over the Qie family. Qie Ranzhe wasn''t stupid neither did he feel the need to fight when his mother was going through a lot of pain.


    This is how GameX was born funded by himself,his mother''s side of the family and various international investors. He wanted to prove to himself and his girlfriend at the time that he didn''t have to be a part of the Qie family to make a name for himself.


    He had made it without the intervention of the Qie family but the hate and resentment were etched deep in his consciousness which reflected in the way he fought Qie Anzhie in the bamboo forest.


    One word to describe it was ruthless. Qie Anzhie wasn''t one to back down so the two fought it out leaving the forest with a bald patch that would anger environmentalists.


    "Should we... I mean do something?" asked Shao Lan feeling rather idle. Under his two colleague''s coercion, he was convinced to sit down and watch.He wanted to intervene but the two stopped him.


    "Here, just eat this and stop talking," said Dai Yu shoving a handful of nuts in the man''s mouth.This was something Qie Ranzhe needed to do by himself otherwise they would be caught in the crossfire andget their eyebrows burnt off trying to be a hero.


    "Does he look like he is at a disadvantage?.... You just sit there and watch a good show," said Machu passing over some dried fruit without taking his eyes off the fighting pair. Just as he said this a ming bamboo tree came flying in their direction.


    Instead of scattering in different directions, the three were rtively calm as Machu opened his fan and with a swipe of his hand the tree''s trajectory changed as Shao Lan erected a barrier for them to watch safely.


    It was unfortunate that the bamboo tree struck whatever was left of the gravesite like a short-range missile further infuriating Qie Anzhie. He was incredibly pissed off when his mother''s memorial tablet shattered which intensified his attack towards Qie Ranzhe and now that the entire gravesite was ruined he lost it.


    "You fuckin dare!" he yelled at Machupletely disregarding Qie Ranzhe.


    Machu removed his hand on his chin mumbling, "Oh shit," contemting on what to do next. He was no match for this crazed lunatic and could only rely on Qie Ranzhe to save him.


    While Qie Anzhie was distracted yelling at Machu with crazed eyes, Qie Ranzhe swung ck cmity unleashing an arc of ferocious mes shing Qie Anzhie''s cheek adding to the scar his mother gave him defending her rich client.


    Qie Anzhie stumbled backwards touching the bloodless wound on his face in disbelief. This was the problem with Qie Anzhie. He was a man led by his emotions which meant if someone else provoked him during a fight he would shift his attention to whoever provoked him recently. This meant he was vulnerable to attacks by his actual opponent. So when Machu provoked him his crazed mind focused on him forgetting his true opponent.


    Being easily distracted like this was his major w no matter how powerful he was. The disbelief in his eyes vanished reced by demented eyes and he retaliated against Qie Ranzhe.


    His initial forte was earth element but because he had been tainted with demonic Qi he was incredibly powerful using the forbidden spells that could onlye at a high price.


    He leapt backwards with his arms stretched out as he made a hand signal. With a loud bang, he mmed his crossed palms on the ground raising the earth in a powerful explosion.


    Qie Ranzhe flipped backwards with the rings cutting through the soil to get to Qie Anzhie. Qie Anzhie easily dodged the rings as his left hand dug into the soil before thick blocks of soil attacked Qie Ranzhe. A cloud of dust filled the air creating a thick fog with the pair of siblings right in the middle of it.


    "Hahaha..... how interesting. My righteous brother actually murdered a Taoist priest for his toys," how righteous you are," said Qie Anzhie with a devilish smile that could send shivers down one''s spine. "Well, then let''s see what your new toy can do against this..... hahahaha," he said before a bright red array appeared activated by Qie Anzhie''s blood.


    Qie Anzhie vanished the very next moment but his spine chillingughter was still ringing in the air. Qie Ranzhe''s brow creased with great vignce as he sensed somethinging. From beneath the cracked ground came the sound of something digging through the soil.


    It was undoubtedly a dead creature of some sort and Qie Anzhie had used a forbidden technique to bring them to life and fight on his behalf.


    Well, he was wrong about one thing. It wasn''t only one but a multitude and they weren''t only creatures but dead humans as well. The amount of resentmentharboured by the undead was suffocating for a regr person but Qie Ranzhe wasn''t normal after all.


    He stretched out his arms with the two spinning rings hovering in his palms. He whispered something to ck cmity and the sword quivered before splitting into multiple swords surrounding Qie Ranzhe. A soft breeze swept past him making his long hair and garments flutter with the wind creating a dazzling sight.


    The undead at different stages of dposition stared fixedly at the beautiful sight unmoved angering Qie Anzhie. "So fuckin unreliable. What are you waiting for? Kill him!" he yelled and so the army of the undead attacked Qie Ranzhe.


    "Okay, break time is over," said Machu before leaving thefort of the barrier to fend off the undead army. But it was soon evident that their assistance was unnecessary when they realised they werepeting with a sword for creatures to fight.

 Chapter 457: Fifth World: The Demon King

    Chapter 457: Fifth World: The Demon King


    After being robbed by ck cmity twice, Dai Yu couldn''t take it anymore yelling at her cousin. "Seriously Ran-ge, leave some for us," while cracking her whip at the vile creatures.


    "Be careful what you wish for," yelled Machu as four spikes came out of his fan striking four creatures in the head simultaneously. He was right because Qie Ranzhe withdrew ck cmity the very next second hunting down Qie Anzhie.


    Feeling the pressure Dai Yu dared not have Machu have an I told you so moment as she fully engaged in battle. She attracted a lot of creatures because at a first nce she appeared weak but that was a big misconception on their part. All one could hear was the cracking sound of that whip permeating the air and the sound of flesh being ripped off bones and bones shattering under such great force.


    While the three were engaged in a battle for their lives, Qie Ranzhe was ying an unpleasant game of hide and seek with Qie Anzhie. All he could hear was the sound of Qie Anzhie''s voice taunting him but he couldn''t sense him.


    Qie Anzhie let out a throatyugh before saying, "You know I have always wanted a big brother and I was so excited to finally meet you but do you know what mama said..., hahaha... she told me that a perfect person like you wouldn''t want to associate with me and that I had to be better than you in every possible way for you to see me." After he said this Qie Anzhie changed location with his voice echoing from another direction.


    Qie Ranzhe seemed to figure out Qie Anzhie was using some type of invisible spell or something so he stopped moving and listened to what his half brother wanted to say so he could find him and end this.


    "All your irritating mother always said was how great you were. Oh Qie Ranzhe did this, oh Qie Ranzhe did that, Qie Ranzhe this, Qie Ranzhe that, who fuckin cares!" said Qie Anzhie before sending a sneak attack in Qie Ranzhe''s direction. Qie Ranzhe dodged and swung ck cmity in that direction but all he seeded in doing was cutting down trees.


    "I could bear it though I felt like strangling the life out of her day in day out especially when she wouldn''t stop bragging about you to father..... If I took a shot of liquor each time she said your name I would be an alcoholic for life.... that''s, that''s how much she talked about her dearest son," he continued looking for an opportunity to attack his half brother once more.


    "I wanted to cut out her tongue just to shut her up each time father stared at me with disappointment in his eyes but I didn''t have the guts to. The day I decided to enter the Zhao sect was the only day I had ever seen the look of pride in my father''s eyes. I thought, I thought I would get in and finally be like my shining star of a brother but.... hahaha, I was so fuckin wrong. I begged to be let in and told them I was your brother but they kicked me out like garbage. Brother, do you know how that feels?"


    "When I returned home I was beaten in my inner robes right in the middle of the courtyard for all the servants to see and you know why?" asked Qie Anzhie struggling to temper with Qie Ranzhe''s emotions. What he spoke was the truth but his true purpose was to incite pity from his half brother andpel him to lower his guard. And ording to Qie Ranzhe''s expression, it seemed to be working.


    "Why?" asked Qie Ranzhe ying along with Qie Anzhie. He also suffered the same fate when he was younger. Whenever he failed he would be beaten just like this till he had done it correctly. He sympathized with him but he had it worse growing up with his mother using her body to shield him at some point. Even then it didn''t make things easier. His father was a righteous prick who loved his face more than his family and Qie Ranzhe learnt to live with it all his life.


    "He beat me in the middle of winter because I embarrassed you. He called me a disgrace and a selfish bastard..... hahaha.... a fuckin bastard..... hahaha. I wanted him dead, I wanted all of you dead and I killed everyone except for..... you!" roared Qie Anzhie as he sent metal spikes in Qie Ranzhe''s direction.


    Qie Ranzhe leapt up flipping in the air dodging the spikes but he still managed to get nicked on his shoulder and neck. Before he could recover the excitable Qie Anzhieunched a simr attack but didn''t foresee his half brother turning the tables on him.


    Like a ghost, Qie Ranzhe appeared right behind him grabbing him by the neck before mming him onto the ground. Qie Ranzhe pressed him down with his knee with his one hand on the man''s neck. He created a searing ball of mes on his other hand ready to burn his face off if he doesn''t tell him what he wants to know.


    "How, how did you do that?" asked Qie Anzhie with genuine disbelief in his eyes but Qie Ranzhe didn''t feel the need to exin himself ignoring his question entirely.


    "Now do you want to tell me how you opened the realm for the lord of the sea?" he said with the me in the palm of his hands growing with each second.


    Qie Anzhie''s eyes widened in surprise. He honestly thought his half brother was here to avenge the Qie family but it seemed he was wrong. "Wow... and here I was thinking you were here to avenge our dearest father. It turns out you and I are the same. I can hook you up with some mermaid blood so you don''t have to, AAAAHHHH!!!" He screamed as Qie Ranzhe''s palm pressed down on his shoulder burning his flesh.


    "Speak!" yelled Qie Ranzhe with the smell of burning flesh filling the air. He was prepared to torture him to death to get the answers he needed. Unfortunately, someone wasn''t willing to see the disciple he had trained burnt to ash as of yet.


    A sudden gush of wind directly attacked Qie Ranzhe throwing him off Qie Anzhie. The strong wind also attacked the creatures summoned by Qie Anzhie turning them to dust restoring a tranquil atmosphere.


    "I apologize for him..... he doesn''t have any manners," said a spine chilling raspy voiceing from a man wearing a purple robe. He slowly took down the hood with his pale and bony fingers revealing a sickly looking man with glowing green eyes. This was the demon king Qie Anzhie served for years and even he had never seen this man''s face before.

 Chapter 458: Fifth World: The Demon Kings Story

    Chapter 458: Fifth World: The Demon King''s Story


    Those luminous peach blossom eyes stared fixedly at Qie Ranzhe as he strode over to help the man up. No one could urately describe the emotions stirred up in this heart of stone with each step he took towards Qie Ranzhe. His ivory loose untied hair fluttered with the breeze as he crouched down before Qie Ranzhe and stretched out his hand towards him.


    Qie Anzhie who had been pressed down earlier hurriedly got on his knees and called out, "Master," his voice breaking. He was obviously distraught uncertain of what to think at this moment.


    His so-called master didn''t even pay attention to him raising his index finger telling him to shut up. The demon king reached out to touch Qie Ranzhe''s chin but he was ruthlessly rejected as Qie Ranzhe abruptly stood up with a gaze cold enough to freeze hell over.


    His cold fingers withdrew as he slowly stood up with his gaze still on Qie Ranzhe. He couldn''t remember when was thest time someone stirred this kind of emotion within him. Miyu Ren was a thousand-year-old demon king that had roamed thisnd alone after fleeing his punishment in the underworld.


    Because he sought out power he and his minions ughtered humans like livestock in his southern realm breaking the rules set for all demon kings.


    His evil deeds made him fall under King Yama''s radar. King Yama was kept extremely busy as the number of the dead rose sharply because of Miyu Ren which pissed him off so much that he had to find the culprit.


    Once the king caught up with him he was stripped of all his power and was meant to be locked up in the eighteenth level of hell and subjected to endless torture.


    But before he was locked up, he escaped the underworld and roamed the earth incognito while restoring his power. He killed plenty of humans but this time he chose criminals that no one seemed to care for. In fact, the authorities would usually say good riddens to this sort of scum that murdered other people for no reason.


    This carried on until he discovered the Yao in the secret realm. He had finally found a great cauldron to restore himself to his former glory and beyond that. His n was simple which was to take over the underworld and do as he pleased.


    He would carry on roaming thends by himself and a few minions he umted over the years that is until he met Qie Anzhie. He felt something draw him towards this broken man and thought he would make the perfect right-hand man.


    But the moment he met Qie Ranzhe this feeling was so strong that he couldn''t help but be drawn to him that he unconsciously showed his appearance without thinking. The man before him exuded such a powerful aura exhibiting his great potential to rule the world with an iron fist. This was the sort of backer he desired. The two of them could rule both the mortal realm and the underworld but Qie Ranzhe had to be willing and make a blood contract with him.


    This kind of person wasn''t as easy to manipte and bend to his will as Qie Anzhie. Even when he is broken his mentality remains strong and as unmovable as a mountain. This demon king had to chip away to his core to get what he wanted.


    While Miyu Ren was busy making ns on his behalf Qie Ranzhe was incredibly hostile ready to kill someone. That filthy gaze lingering on his body angered him so much that he was inching closer to losing his shit. With his lips pursed in a straight line, he clenched the hilt of his sword suppressing the fiery tornado mounting up within him.


    The demon king sensed a group of people heading towards them and waved his hand creating a luminous green barrier separating them from Qie Ranzhe''s entourage. Shao Lan tried to catch up before the barrier closedpletely but he was toote with his arm making contact with the barrier. Soon after that his arm was burnt with some type of gas eating away at his skin like acid.


    Lucky for him, Dai Yu was an exceptional fast thinker immediately taking out a bottle of medicine stopping the burn from spreading. Dai Yu''s expression was stern as she concentrated on treating the wound but Shao Lan''s ears chose to turn red at this moment making Machu roll his eyes at them.


    ''Even when wounded you are still making googly eyes at her?'' he thought making the conscious decision to ignore them.


    "Ran-ge!" he called out to Qie Ranzhe on the other side. He could tell the man was suppressing his rage from afar but he honestly didn''t know what to do. They couldn''t touch the barrier which meant they couldn''t help Qie Ranzhe fight this unfair two vs one battle.


    Well, at least he thought there was going to be a throw down that is until something unusual happened. To understand what had Machu have an ''ohhh'' moment one has to go a few minutes back in time.


    While Machu was calling out to him Qie Ranzhe was having a staredown with Miyu Ren ready to ughter him at a moment''s notice. His unwavering disgust was up to his throat but he didn''t make the first move.


    The demon king ced his hand on his cheek with a sly look in his eyes. He let out a throaty chuckle and said, "Such a great specimen. I think you would make a great partner so how about it?..... I can give you anything you desire and all you have to do is swear your loyalty to me," before taking a few steps closer. He could sense the hostilitying from Qie Ranzhe but he was drawn to this man that he couldn''t help himself.


    "Ma-master," stammered Qie Anzhie unable to bear it. His master was fully aware of how he felt about his older brother but he was deliberately making a move to recruit his enemy. How could he bear it? The only person who genuinely cared for him and promised to overturn the mountains for him had been enchanted by his brother just like everybody else.


    Miyu Ren flung his hand sending over a powerful force suppressing Qie Anzhie right where he knelt till he couldn''t speak anymore. All his grievances were clearly written on his face.


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t immediately respond ring at the demon king like he was looking at his enemy. But this look invoked something inside Miyu Ren as he stretched out his hand once more. Just a touch was all he was asking for but his wrist was grasped preventing him from moving further.

 Chapter 459: Fifth World: Shao Lan The Closeted Masochist

    Chapter 459: Fifth World: Shao Lan The Closeted Masochist


    "I am taken," said Qie Ranzhe as he flung that wrist away like he was afraid he would dirty his hands if he continued touching him. When Zhao Zhi looked at him like that it was like a wave of excitement would spread all over his body but when this vile demon eyed him he felt disgusted to the point where he could barely hold his expression.


    Miyu Ren obviously noticed but he wasn''t offended chuckling again as he tucked away a stray strand behind his ear. This was the exact moment Machu had his ''ohhh'' moment. His brother in arms had charmed a demon in a matter of seconds which was impressive.


    "What are you waiting for? Haven''t youe up with a solution yet on how to break the barrier or at least go around it?" asked Dai Yu after making sure Shao Lan''s wound was properly wrapped up.


    "Huh?....," asked Machu as he turned his head around seeming lost, "Oh, I don''t think that''s necessary. The only problem is that Zhao Zhi might be wearing a green hat today," while pointing at the two. "See what I mean?"


    "What a pity..... but I do know what you are looking for and I can help you," said the demon king his eyes colder than before.


    Qie Ranzhe''s aura darkened further clenching his jaw. He knew everything came at a price but based on this vile thing''s reaction earlier it wouldn''t be anything good. "What''s the price?"


    Miyu Ren smiled while nodding his head. He expected as much. "What if I say no charge for the sake of our future dealings? Let''s call it a gesture of goodwill as long as you turn a blind eye to my dealings with the Lord of the seas. You get what you want and I get what I want and we don''t interfere in each other''s business."


    Qie Ranzhe knew it couldn''t be as simple as that but right now he had no choice so he said, "Fine then take me to him."


    "Mhm, no one is as blind as a man in love," said Miyu Ren before walking towards Qie Anzhie. He stretched out his hand and picked up his dejected follower. He whispered something in Qie Anzhie''s ear.


    Qie Anzhie turned to look at his half brother his stare much more vicious than before but all he could do was clench his fist suppressing his rage. This older brother of his had stolen everything from him including the yao promised to him by his master.


    Just now the demon king had revealed that Qie Ranzhe had slept with Zhao Zhi and that kid Qie Xieling was theirs. He also told him that it was pointless being angry and that he wasn''t allowed to stir trouble with Qie Ranzhe because the demon king had an even greater use for him. This meant Qie Anzhie could only re but not touch.


    Zhao Zhi was the first heir of the Lord of the seas which meant he inherited the purest of his spiritual root. There was tremendous power to be gained from the merman''s first time but his despicable older brother stole what belonged to him two decades ago.


    So when he was busy running around with the Zhao sect leader to keep Zhao Zhi pure he had already been eaten by his older brother. He had been yed like a fool by the both of them and now he had nowhere to vent out his pent up anger.


    While Qie Anzhie was thinking of his brother''s betrayal, Miyu Ren was done drawing an array with his blood opening the gate to a ce that held traumatic memories to Qie Ranzhe.


    Miyu Ren turned to look at Qie Ranzhe and noticed his face was a few shades paler. Fascinated he said, "Let''s go... I will hold your hand so you won''t be scared."


    Qie Ranzhe ignored the sly demon and sent amunication talisman to Machu before following behind Qie Anzhie into the portal. Miyu Ren stared at Qie Ranzhe''s three musketeers with a devilish smile before entering the portal.


    As soon as the three people vanished, the barrier disappeared as well allowing the remaining three to grab hold of the talisman. "I am going to get Zhao Zhi and Qie Xieling," it said reassuring the them. They sighed in relief with Dai Yu snorting at that demon.


    "What a fuckin white lotus.... and what was up with that smirk? Like, wha-what tha.....," she said as the ground opened up letting out those creatures once more.


    It seemed the demon king had only taken a liking to Qie Ranzhe and not the rest of them. So as soon as their sect leader was gone they were left to deal with the mess resurrected by that sinister demon.


    "I really hate that white-eyed wolf!" yelled Dai Yu as she ruthlessly swung her whip tearing through the crowd of the undead.


    Machu nudged Shao Lan urging him toe closer. With their backs turned to each other fighting the creatures, Machu said, "You better reconsider your decision to get with her. Imagine how many ways she can torment you in bed with that whip?....Seriously, take this as friendly advice."


    Machu was being a good friend but Shao Lan''s reaction had him asking himself why he even bothered mentioning anything. This fool was obviously a masochist smiling like an idiot. He couldn''t understand why Shao Lan had a sudden interest in Dai Yu but it was incredibly unsettling especially because he would be the only single dog among the four of them.


    It was at that moment that Dai Yu snapped the neck of a dposed undead spiritual beast with her whip making Machu cringe. "See?" he said with goosebumps all over his body.


    "More fighting and less chit chat," replied Shao Lan before creating a path through the crowd of the undead creatures. He awkwardly stood a few feet from Dai Yu watching her back in silence.


    Machu, "...."


    Talk about abusing a single dog in broad daylight. He vowed to find a girlfriend too after this otherwise Qie Xieling will beat him to it and he would officially be an old bachelor.


    While Machu was on a dog food strict diet, Wen Qinxi had earned the title of the lightbulb of the year. He was like a third wheel in this pce with the queen and Qie Xieling sticking to each other like glue. It was times like these that he missed Qie Ranzhe the most. It was like being stuck on lockdown with no inte, no TV and pig roommates who always y games for two.


    Qie Xieling would asionally include his father but his grandma would rope him back in subconsciously.


    Their charactersplimented each other so much that it was hard to separate them. This drove him into trying toe up with a way out otherwise he will go nuts. Lucky for him, Qie Ranzhe was on his way to get him out though the likelihood of sess was on the negative side.

 Chapter 460: Fifth World: Wen Qinxi Needs A Stalkers Handbook

    Chapter 460: Fifth World: Wen Qinxi Needs A Stalker''s Handbook


    Some people dream of sess when they are sleeping but Wen Qinxi wasn''t one of them. He was dreaming about drinking a mocha frappino in a coffee shop near work with a pair of dark sunsses on.


    The dream was so vivid that at some point he thought he had exited gship. For a minute he wondered why he would dream himself in a coffee shop. Yes sure, he was a fan of a good cup of frappino but he didn''t like it to the point of dreaming about it.


    Well, he soon discovered why he would dream of himself in this ce. It turned out he was stalking his boss. The spot he was sitting at was the perfect position to view his subject of interest. He could look all he wanted and never get caught.


    He saw his lovestruck stalker self lower his sunsses while fumbling through hisptop bag to find his cellphone. If only he had read the stalker handbook he would have known the number one rule which is always have your cellphone in hand ready to take a shot at a moment''s notice.


    By the time he found it his incredibly dashing boss was already halfway down the stairs. He hurriedly swiped his cellphone to take a picture but felt something was wrong. The cellphone in his hand wasn''t his but an ancient ancestor of cellphones that had keys and no camera.


    Feeling distraught he raised his head to take a look at his boss before he vanished out of his sight. It was as if he didn''t take a look he would never see him again. But as soon as he raised his head he was shocked to see Qie Ranzhe standing right in front of him with their faces less than two centimetres apart.


    "Are you stalking me?" was the question Qie Ranzhe asked him jolting Wen Qinxi awake. As soon as his eyes opened that face that just scared him in his dream didn''t go away even though he was now awake. In fact, it was even closer than before terrifying this poor nerd.


    Wen Qinxi stretched his hand out grabbing the man''s neck as though trying to confirm something. Once he felt the slight warmthing from the back of the man''s neck he smiled riley as he pulled him down on the bed with force before pinning him down.


    A foolish grin crept up Qie Ranzhe''s face staring at Zhao Zhi in a lecherous manner like he was going to eat him right then and there. "How did you...," said Wen Qinxi but he didn''t get to finish what he was saying when he was pulled down by the neck and his lips kissed fiercely.


    The sweetness from Zhao Zhi''s lips satiated Qie Ranzhe cravings that had been haunting him ever since they were pulled apart. Like a single drop of water on the hot desert sand, this luscious taste had him yearning for more with his right hand sliding onto Zhao Zhi''s waist the other caressing the back of the man''s neck drawing him closer.


    They had been separated for forty-eight hours but it felt like decades for the two of them. The rough kiss softened as Qie Ranzhe began to slowly taste his lover savouring the moment of bliss. His hot moist tongue slithered deep through Zhao Zhi''s parted lips making the man in his arms shudder.


    Wen Qinxi enthusiastically teased Qie Ranzhe''s tongue with his invoking an electric current that spread from the tips of their tongues to the rest of their bodies. Wen Qinxi lost control of himself as an intense, pleasurable sensation trailed down his spine inciting him to let out a moan.


    That indistinctive moan almost woke up Qie Xieling who was sleeping across the room. It was his incoherent mumblesing from Qie Xieling that brought these two back to earth.


    Wen Qinxi bit his lower lip ridden with guilt.


    In his moment of carelessness, he forgot Qie Xieling was sharing a room with him for safety reasons. Qie Ranzhe didn''t seem bothered looking over to Qie Xieling''s direction over Zhao Zhi''s shoulder.


    After making sure he was still fast asleep he said, "Don''t worry he is still asleep," while soothingly stroking Zhao Zhi''s hair.


    "How are you bre-," asked Wen Qinxi but he didn''t get to finish his question as Qie Ranzhe interrupted him saying,


    "Let me hug you for a minute, okay?" As soon as he said this he drew Zhao Zhi into his arms and embraced him like he was afraid he would vanish in the very next second. The two held each other like this for a moment with their warm breath brushing against each other''s skin. Qie Ranzhe''s naughty hand even slid down the waist touching the demarcation where the merman tail began.


    ''So beautiful but how inconvenient,'' he thought regretting that they were underwater instead. He was already hard from that one kiss but he had to be gentlemanly and fight off the urge to take Zhao Zhi above water and act on his manly desires.


    Qie Ranzhe only let him go after his enthusiastic bird calmed down. The two slid into bed cuddling in between the sheets. Wen Qinxi was being spooned in such a way that he could barely move. If he coulde up with a word to describe Qie Ranzhe''s state of mind right now it would be clingy which he didn''t mind at all.


    He would love it if he could stick to this man twenty-four seven but that was only wishful thinking. Wen Qinxi couldn''t help but worry so he asked while rubbing Qie Ranzhe''s thumb with his, "How are you breathing underwater?"


    Qie Ranzhe seemed to have had an inkling that he might need an elixir to help him submerge underwater for a very long time so he had an experienced alchemist create the most effective kind.


    That sly demon had offered to give him some of his blood so he could stay underwater for longer but Qie Ranzhe wasn''t stupid. The worst mistake he could ever make would be drinking that vile creature''s blood. The consequences of which would be dire.


    "An elixir," he said staring at Zhao Zhi''s side profile his eyes filled with infatuation. He slipped his hand under Zhao Zhi''s arm andcaressed his exposed belly obsessively. He couldn''t help but feel like life was so unfair.


    Imagine wanting to do this and that to your lover who is sharing the same bed as you but you can''t. This could be described as sexual frustration.


    "We have to leave," he continued to say before kissing Zhao Zhi''s cheek, "I have to get you and Xieling somewhere safe."


    Wen Qinxi could hear the urgency in Qie Ranzhe''s voice which brought him to his next crucial question. "How did you get here?"

 Chapter 461: Fifth World: Walking Encyclopedia Of Dating Advice

    Chapter 461: Fifth World: Walking Encyclopedia Of Dating Advice


    Qie Ranzhe pursed his lips wondering how he was supposed to say it. Was he meant to say he allied with a bloodthirsty power-hungry demon to get here and that he nned to get them to safety before single-handedly taking on the task to rid this world of this demon?


    Wen Qinxi didn''t need him to say it. He knew there was only one other way to get here and that is through that demon. He was suddenly worked up over it sitting up straight in a panic.


    If Qie Ranzhe struck a deal with the enemy didn''t it mean this world would be rendered an automatic fail. He suddenly felt like he was toox in this world otherwise how could Qie Ranzhe end up in such a predicament.


    "Did you?" he whispered looking down at the man lying on his back.


    Qie Ranzhe caressed Zhao Zhi''s tummy trying to coax him into lying back down. "No, lie down and hear me out," he whispered urging Zhao Zhi toy by his side.


    Wen Qinxiplied but he wasn''t at ease. He could understand why Qie Ranzhe would go as far as to strike a deal with the enemy but how was he going to get them out of this mess.


    Qie Ranzhe could tell Zhao Zhi was somewhat upset so he shuffled closer with their bodies now sticking together like glue.


    Wen Qinxi, "..."


    ''Can a brother get a little space please,'' he thought curiously eyeing him. He guessed this was another method of coaxing. Get them mad then stick to them like glue till they stop being angry. Warning, don''t try this at home unless your lover is extremely good-tempered otherwise either two things will happen.


    One, you will get kicked out of the bedroom and sent to camp on the couch for a varying period. Two, which is the worst-case scenario, they will walk out and might or might note back. So please exercise caution if you choose this risky method of coaxing.


    Well, Wen Qinxi was a firecracker but he was also immune to Qie Ranzhe''s pitiful actions that the rational part of his brain turned to mush shutting down in a matter of seconds. He didn''t stand a chance against this walking encyclopedia of dating advice.


    Wen Qinxi cleared his throat averting his gaze before saying, "I am listening."


    A satisfied smile appeared on Qie Ranzhe''s face as he exined what happened living out the parts where he was almost harassed by Miya Ren of course, which was in itself a horrible decision as he would seeter. Wen Qinxi felt like there was a big hole in Qie Ranzhe''s story but he couldn''t quite put his finger on where the hole was exactly.


    Why would a thousand-year-old cunning demon not ask for something in return? The stay out of each other''s business excuse was ridiculous. Something was definitely fishy about this but he didn''t dwell much on it because Qie Xieling finally woke up.


    He swam over rubbing his eyes still half asleep while asking, "What are you two doing." It was evident that his brainwasn''t operating at full capacity because he didn''t ask the vital question. It was as though Qie Ranzhe was there before he went to sleep. He pulled them apart by squeezing in the little gap he could find.


    Wen Qinxi, "..."


    Qie Ranzhe, "WTF."


    Just like that, Qie Xieling slept in between them like a professional lightbulb. Wen Qinxi wanted to get mad but found he couldn''t. This was simply too funny. Wen Qinxi chuckled lightly but Qie Ranzhe wasn''tughing pinching Qie Xieling''s cheek.


    Talk about being cock blocked to the extreme. Yeah sure, nothing was probably going to happen tonight but he could have scored an underwater blow job or something but this kid made it impossible.


    Imagine how interesting that would have been but his own offspring had no desire to see his father seed in matters of the heart. More like matters of the @#!@$@.


    "Sleep," whispered Wen Qinxi gazing at his discontented lover.


    Qie Ranzhe nodded in the direction of Qie Xieling''s bed which directly tranted to ''let''s go on his bed and leave him here''. Wen Qinxi understood but when he was about to get up his son wrapped his arms around his chest tranting to ''where are you going? Stay''.


    Qie Ranzhe pressed his lips into a thin line before saying, "This has to be on purpose, right?"


    Wen Qinxi shrugged his shoulders silentlyughing. Qie Xieling had just earned himself a permanent ban from his parent''s bed. He was too old to be in their bed anyway but he always found his way there regardless.


    While Qie Ranzhe was momentarily regretting not pulling out during their night of passion, Miyu Ren was regretting ever listening to the merman king. This old man yed him and he only found out today.


    To fully understand why this was, one would have to go back in time and whollyprehend the events that led to their current situation.


    When the demoted demon king discovered this yao realm he finally had a sinister method to restore his power to its former glory which was infusing his blood with the pure-blooded heir of the first Yao in this species that cultivated to attain the abilities to transform into merman who could also walk onnd.


    This pure-blooded heir was always the firstborn of the previous kings. When he met the current merman king he was led to believe that the yao was the only child of the former king which meant he was the pure-blooded heir.


    Under the guise of exchanging his blood for sacrificial merman and mermaids, he slowly initiated his painstaking n that took years. Like a walking talking cauldron the demon blood would be infused with the merman king''s and when it was ready for harvest he would forcibly pull out the merman king''s golden core and eat it. This would make him the most powerful being in the mortal realm and the underworld.


    He nned to extract this king''s golden core and once he bes powerful he would also manipte Qie Ranzhe to follow him in the process. And if he refused then he would capture him and well, toy with him till the man bends to his will.


    It was a perfect n until now. The yao he should have been feeding his blood all these years should have been the queen but instead, he wasted his years on this piece of trash. He couldn''t believe he was deceived by this merman. One can only imagine how pissed off this demon king was when he found out.


    The perfect hall was wrecked with an enraged demon tearing the ce apart with the terrified merman king distraught at the corner of the room. Even Qie Anzhie had never seen his master this upset and could only silently stand as far away as possible lest he stumbles upon the flight path of a flying table or something.

 Chapter 462: Fifth World: Raging Demon King

    Chapter 462: Fifth World: Raging Demon King


    There is no greater pain than knowing that all your ns for the past few years were all for nothing. It''s like a pregnant woman carrying around a big belly for nine months only to be told its gas after going throughbour pains.


    Imagine all that energy you expanded into making your dream a reality was flushed down the toilet in a matter of seconds. This is the reason why Miyu Ren was throwing the world''s greatest tantrum.


    He gave up Zhao Zhi even offering him to his apprentice because the king was still alive and he was the former king''s only offspring but it turned out he was misled. The current merman king was only rted to the former king by marriage. The true heir was the queen who should have been his target from the very beginning.


    This was a perfect example of when a yer gets yed and he was yed real good. Miyu Ren hadpletely lost that calm demeanour of his transforming into a deranged lunatic.


    Like a sinister fiend, he appeared in front of the king in an instant and picked him up by his neck.


    His long sharp nails dug deep into the merman king''s skin drawing blood.


    The merman king grimaced in pain but he didn''t dare make a sound. He was weaker inparison to this demon king but he was a man of pride. If he was to die he would die with dignity.


    When he was asked that question three decades ago he made a conscious decision to im he was the former king''s son to reap the benefits on the backs of his people. It was because of his own selfish desires that he sacrificed young virgins with no second thought. He would gain immortality and hold on to this position of power.


    But he didn''t know that he had also been deceived. If he had known he was being used as a cauldron he would have given up his queen a long time ago.


    Looking at the stubborn look in the merman king''s eyes, Miyu Ren''s lips twitched. He strengthened his grip with the glint in the merman king''s eyes growing faint as he struggled.


    "Did you enjoy deceiving me for all these years, huh? Is that it?" he said with a hair-raising ambience surrounding him. The merman king''s face turned red as his tail swayed violently. He felt his life being sucked away with each passing moment. He was a dead man but he still wanted to live.


    In a desperate attempt to save his insignificant life he said, "I, I wi-will take.... take you to her."


    Miyu Ren''s mouth showed an unsightly sneer as he gripped even tighter. The killing intent emanating from the demon king was enough to suffocate even Qie Anzhie who was trying by any means necessary to stay out of his master''s way.


    A violent gust of wind appeared out of nowhere as his appearance began to change. The wind stirred up a strong turbulence in the water as a sinister dark mist enveloped his body. His nails grew longer resembling beastly ws and his canines lengthened modifying his appearance. With a loud roar, he flung the king''s body towards a pir.


    With a loud thud, the merman''s body hit the pir apanied by the cracking sound of bone. Before he could even get up, Miyu Ren was right in front of him again with a dark mist emitting from the palm of his hand.


    The demon king stretched out his hand and the dark mist left his palm coiling around the merman''s body restraining him. His body was suddenly lifted in the air as Miyu Ren ambled over seething in anger.


    He ced his hand on the merman king''s shoulder and said, "Take me to her this instant."


    The merman king nodded vigorously as he helplessly watched the demon king rub the blood off his neck with his thumb and lick it like a perverted beast. He broke out in a cold sweat as he gulped in trepidation.


    "Still so tasty," said Miyu Ren licking his thumb once more leaving behind a red stain on his lower lip. This image was befitting of his baleful demonic character making the merman king''s blood run cold.


    While the merman king was buying time for himself by selling out his wife, the queen herself had woken up with a start. Her pleasant dreams had suddenly turned nightmarish warning her that something bad was about to happen.


    She rose from her slumber and grabbed her interspatial ring and a pendant she had been working on from her jewellery box.


    She had already prepared an exit strategy for her son and grandson for this exact kind of situation. She didn''t care what would happen to her as long as her family could get out safely. She would rather die than have anything happen to her babies.


    She hurriedly entered their bedroom nning to wake them up but what she found had her wanting to pull her hair out in anger. "You!...." she said when she saw the man obsessively watching her son while he was sleeping.


    How and when he got here she didn''t know upgrading her anger to full-blown rage. The two mermen were woken up by a loud p that was ever so familiar to them. Qie Xieling''s cheek tingled recalling that p his grandma gave him when they first met. It seemed her anger wasn''t satiated thest time so she pped him with no reservations.


    Let''s analyze why the mermaid was still pissed. Well, besides impregnating the future king of her race Qie Ranzhe let the most important people to her out of his sight. That is to say, she expected him to protect them with his life but he failed. What she failed to realise was that it was all her fault that they were here in the first ce. That''s what happens when she''s angry. She seemed to have the memory of a goldfish when angered.


    When the second p fell Wen Qinxi had to intervene. He tried to calm her down while Qie Xieling was cringing at the red cheek on his father''s face. "I understand what you are going through. It stings, right?" he whispered to his father still not asking the important question which was why was his father here?


    Qie Ranzhe, "...."


    "Ma.... you can''t beat him. It''s all in the past plus when you hurt him you are hurting me too," he exined feeling his chest tighten from the pain.


    He didn''t like seeing Qie Ranzhe hurt even when the person was actually protecting him. This degree of empathy was something umted over four worlds.


    This man was his love, his life that is to say if anything happens to Qie Ranzhe he genuinely doesn''t know what he would do.


    "Tsk..... let me tell you something honey, you don''t have to be with the one you slept with first. It''s not a prerequisite.... especially if he is a jerk. He always takes, takes and takes everything from you but has he ever given you anything?" she said speaking from her heart.

 Chapter 463: Fifth World: He Gave Me His Heart

    Chapter 463: Fifth World: He Gave Me His Heart


    Wen Qinxi wasn''t certain who this advice was for exactly. Him or herself. Her words touched him at a rather personal level because their situation was exactly that in the real world. He sacrificed a lot being in this game.


    Not only was he bent by his boss but he was also pursued till he fell in love with him. From an outsider''s perspective, he got the short end of the stick but that wasn''t necessarily true.


    "He, he gave me his heart," he murmured in such a way that only the two of them could hear but who was he kidding. With Qie Xieling''s super hearing and Qie Ranzhe''s ungodly ears, he stood no chance. They heard it loud and clear with a warm feeling spreading in their chests.


    Qie Xieling leaned over and whispered, "Are you going to get married?"


    Qie Ranzhe concealed a smile by pressing his lips together in a straight line while saying, "What do you think?"


    The queen couldn''t deal with these two anymore. Feeling rather defeated she said, "You have to go, like right now. Lin Line to grandma," she said beckoning him over. She ced the pendant around his neck and said, "No matter what happens you three should nevere back here. Do you understand? I am just happy I got to see you onest time."


    She pinched Qie Xieling''s cheek before heading out the door leading them to the main hall. Wen Qinxi understood what was going on but there was no way he was leaving.


    This was the reason he was in this world. He appreciated her concern but he had a boss to get out of this game before spring festival otherwise his real mother would kick his ass.


    "I am not leaving," he said holding her elbow, "this is my fight too so I am not leaving."


    The queen stopped in her tracks to look back at her son. She didn''t want to lose him over her husband''s stupidity but judging from the resigned look on his face there was no way she would be able to convince him.


    Feeling rather upset she wanted to scold him but the barrier around her ce was suddenly struck by a heavy object shaking the entire pce at its foundation.


    "They are here... Quit being stubborn and leave!" she said but it was already toote. The demon king had a score to settle so he broke that barrier with ease dragging along the merman king.


    As soon as Wen Qinxi saw the enchanting demon he quickly made a hand signal opening up a portal before shoving Qie Xieling in it. The kid didn''t even have time to react when he re-appeared in front of an ugly looking undead creature snarling at him.


    "Fudge!" he uttered rooted to the spot in fright. Of all the ces he couldnd he just had to appear in this ce.


    He was about to take out a talisman when the creature suddenly roared in pain as a sword split it into two. The disgusting blood sshed in his face making him feel nauseous.


    "Oh hey, Xieling," said Shao Lan before he jolted in surprise, "It''s really you! Everyone, it''s Xieling. He is back."


    Qie Xieling sighed as he spat out some of the revolting blood that got into his mouth. ''What terrible luck,'' he thought before he began to dry heave.


    While Qie Xieling was dry heaving in the bushes with his aunt scolding Shao Lan, Miyu Ren wasn''t pleased in the slightest that he swung his hand sending over a powerful mist to strike Zhao Zhi.


    Qie Ranzhe wouldn''t let that happen so he jumped in front of Zhao Zhi shielding him from the attack. He took the attack head-on blocking it with ck cmity. Blood began to seep down from the corner of his lips painting an exquisite picture of a cold-blooded beauty.


    Miyu Ren stopped when he realised he had struck the wrong person. He was writhing in anger but swallowed down his displeasure. He chuckled while ncing down at his hand with his thumb gently rubbing his index finger. "It seems you have already forgotten our deal.Would you like me to remind you... You stay out of my business and I will stay away from yours," said Miyu Ren before raising his head to stare at Qie Ranzhe with a hurt expression.


    "I remember but he is my business so you are the one who seems to have forgotten our deal," said Qie Ranzhe gripping the hilt of his sword tightly like it was going to break at any moment.


    "Tsk.... how troublesome," he murmured before opening up his palm revealing a dark shadow hovering above his hand. He whispered something before the dark shadow vanished into thin air.


    "Here is the thing... you underestimate me which hurts my feelings so much. How about wee to a truce and I let the two of you go. Simple right? You just walk out of here and pretend like you saw nothing," suggested Miyu Ran before cing his foot on top of the merman king''s head.


    The merman felt so much pain like his skull was going to get crushed at any moment. He couldn''t understand why his sons hadn''te to rescue him yet. A feeling of urgency overwhelmed him as death was knocking on his door. He looked around and saw his son. His firstborn standing there right beside his wife.


    He gritted his teeth unwilling to call out to him. His pride wouldn''t let him do that but the pressure on the side of his head increased causing him to toss his pride out of the window. "Lian-er do something. Help me," he said in a muffled voice while fighting through the pain.


    "It wasn''t me. Your mother lied to you. It, it was all her doing. She suggested I give you away... Don''t believe whatever that bitch said. All this was her n and she framed me. Help your father, okay?" he said shamelessly spinning a web of lies. He was so desperate and one could understand why. His face was bleeding from all three of the seven orifices with an audible cracking sound.


    "Hahahaha!... Wow, a man would do anything to save himself. What a shame because not even your son can save you now," said Miyu Ren in haughtyughter.


    As soon as he said this an entourage of people seven brothers to be exact entered the pce. They were guards outside providing the princes with protection but they had seriously underestimated Miyu Ren because if they knew what he was capable of they would have run away and saved themselves instead.


    The merman king was relieved to see rescue but was it rescue or something else? He would find out soon enough.

 Chapter 464: Fifth World: The Demon Kings Pet

    Chapter 464: Fifth World: The Demon King''s Pet


    They say it never rains but it pours. Just ask Qie Xieling right now and he would tell you in detail. While he was dealing with a queasy stomach with a face as pale as a sheet of paper, the ground suddenly shook making them lose their footing.


    He had just been sshed in the face with rotten blood and now he was been shaken like he was in a tumble drier. Better yet he was shaken like a cocktail in a cocktail shaker.


    The earthquake-like tremors came to a sudden stop allowing Shao Lan to finish up the rest of the undead.


    If Qie Xieling was dry heaving before now he was throwing up for real. Dai Yu pat his back as Machu brought over some medicine. They tended to the poor bunny till some colour returned to his face. It was only after they were certain that his condition had improved did they finally address the elephant in the room.


    There was nothing natural about the earth tremors just now but they still couldn''t figure out the source. Shao Lan crouched down and ced his palm on the ground. With his eyes closed, he sent his Qi in the ground connecting with theplicatedwork of nature''s spiritual veins.


    His Qi acted like an endoscope projecting images from wherever it travelled underground. This method was a whole lot different from empathy but it was simrly taxing. His forehead was alreadyced with ayer of cold sweat and his strength diminishing but he had to find out what wasing so they could prepare for it.


    Dai Yu was starting to worry about him and didn''t hesitate advising him to stop. Just as she convinced him to stop his Qi finally found something.


    The dark energying from this ce was suffocating strangling his Qi that he wanted to retreat. That is when he saw it. The image was fuzzy but it frightened him so much that he abruptly withdrew falling t on his back.


    "Lan-ge!" yelled Dai Yu in a panic as she ran to his side. She was the very definition of the word distraught as she helped him up.


    Shao Lan could care less about his image right now hesitantly saying, "We have to go. It''s, it''s..." Even he couldn''t be too sure of what he saw under Mount Lese a few kilometres away from them. This dark and sinister mountain was rumoured to have housed a formidable creature known by themon folk as Qian heti (Chimera) the most vicious creature in history.


    Rumour had it that it was a three-headed fire breathing hybrid with the head of a lion, a goat on its back and the head of a serpent extending from its tail. From what Shao Lan saw it wasn''t just a rumour. That beast looked exactly as described just more appalling in person.


    "What, what is it?" asked Machu feeling rather anxious. If it was something they couldn''t handle by themselves then they would need to gather troops and judging from Shao Lan''s reaction it either had to be Godzi or King Kong for him to be this shaken.


    "It''s Qian heti and it just broke its bounds underneath mount Lese," he exined with a slight tremble in his hand. This kind of creature was hard to kill and someone had just freed it resigning the entire world to a fatal ending.


    "Hahaha.... no that haha, that can''t be," said Machu chuckling in disbelief but the nk look on Shao Lan''s face spoke volumes. "Ha ha..... wait are you fuckin serious?" asked Machu as hisughter died down.


    "We have two options. Do you want to hear them," said Dai Yu with her hand on Shao Lan''s back.


    "Go on let''s hear it," said Machu supporting Qie Xieling who looked half dead.


    Dai Yu took out a piece of paper and said seriously, "Option one we write our wills and resign to our fate or... or we go to the Zhao sect and convince those righteous sects to gather manpower so we can fight it together. Maybe will stand a chance but that means we have to sacrifice our pride," with a sullen look.


    Machu was about to say, "Does anyone has an ink brush?" so he could start writing when another earth tremor shook the ground followed by a loud roar permeating the air.


    "Screw pride. Let''s get the fuck out of here," replied Machu as Qie Xieling took out a teleportation talisman.


    "I know where to go," said Qie Xieling as he opened up a portal. The four figures disappeared from the bamboo forest just in time for the ground to copse where they had been standing.


    The four of them reappeared in a strange house making the other three look at Qie Xieling strangely. Qie Xieling stared back at them asking, "What?" while shrugging his shoulders.


    "Whose house is this?" asked Machu while touching stuff that he shouldn''t be touching.


    Qie Xieling sprawled on the bed and said, "It''s Shixiong''s ce.... I am just going to lie down for a minute and you three can go and convince the old farts that the world as they know is about to end," finding a cosy spot.


    Dai Yu ced her hand on her waist and asked, "How are you feeling now?" in a gentle tone.


    "I am, ah.... be-better," he hesitantly replied with a little suspicion.


    His suspicion was warranted because Dai Yu smiled in the next instant and dragged him off the bed by the ear. "Good, then youe with us. We need your aggressive charisma to appeal to those long bearded freaks."


    With that said Qie Xieling was dragged along to see the sect leaders who were still gathered at the main hall.


    In a distant realm, King Yama was having his afternoon tea after a busy morning of sorting out aggrieved souls. Just when he had put his legs up about to take a nice long sip, there was a disturbance in the atmosphere that had him pause. The surroundings were so silent that one could hear the sound of a pin dropping.


    King Yama furrowed his brows with a thoughtful expression. Thinking he was overthinking things he resumed drinking his tea. Just when he was about to take a sip a loud roar shook the entire realm causing him to spill his tea staining his favourite robe.


    He shook his sleeve as he put the teacup down. Who else could have the balls to stir up trouble across three realms except, "MIYU REN!!!!!!!!"


    While King Yama was looking through his contacts for the best bounty hunter to bring that demon back to the underworld, the culprit was ted with his new pet he had just freed. He was so overjoyed ignoring the people around him.


    "Oh god, why do I always have to deal with the crazy ones?" whispered Wen Qinxi thinking if Qie Ranzhe was really surrounded by such crazy people in the real world then the CEO might as well forget his number and pretend they don''t know each other.

 Chapter 465: Fifth World: How To Exorcise Lust Out Of A Demon

    Chapter 465: Fifth World: How To Exorcise Lust Out Of A Demon


    Both Qie Ranzhe and Miyu Ren heard what he said despite the fact that he was whispering to himself. This had the sinisterugh disappear from Miyu Ren''s face reced by a ck expression. He glowered at Zhao Zhi with his dark eyes that spelt murder but Qie Ranzhe didn''t hesitate to block his line of sight standing in front of Zhao Zhi.


    The demon king was about to say something when one of the seven brothers suddenly kowtowed before him drawing his attention. He removed his foot from the merman king''s head and turned around to look at them.


    Amused, he smirked and sauntered over to them with great interest. He crouched down before the oldest of the seven and raised his chin with a devilish smile that sent shivers down the merman prince''s spine.


    "And what do you hope you will achieve by doing this?" he asked staring deeply into the merman''s eyes, "do you think such trickery can spare your father''s life?"


    The merman prince quivered as he shook his head. They weren''t stupid neither were they brave. At first nce, they could tell they stood zero chance of winning against the demon king so they came to make a truce and swear their allegiance to him.


    And just in case they fail they nned on using the guards as a means to buy time seriously underestimating Miyu Ren''s strength. What they didn''t realise is that if he ns to kill someone there wouldn''t even be an opportunity for the person to run away.


    "We, we havee to swear allegiance to you my Lord an-and promise to obey your everymand so we wouldn''t end up like our father," said the spokesperson for the other six.


    They had seriously discussed this after they heard their father was beaten by the demon king. Instead of evacuating their people or at least gather them to try and fight, they decided to pledge allegiance to the demon king and never defy him.


    They genuinely thought their father displeased the demon king somehow and messed things up. So after careful consideration, they chose to follow the saying ''if you can''t beat them join them.''


    The merman king scowled at these words ring at his sons who sold him out just like that. He thought they were here to rescue them but it turns it wasn''t a rescue but a nned execution.


    Angered he began to yell, "Ungrateful bastards! I knew I should have aborted you when I had the chance..... unfilial sons all of you! Unfilial!..... Argh!"


    The scream that followed was due to Qie Anzhie kicking the man right where his nuts would be if he was in full human form. He couldn''t stand anyone that closely resembled his dead beat of a father. This resulted in his temporary loss of control beating the merman into silence.


    Miyu Ren ignored the merman''s scream standing back up while saying, "I am short of harem members so how about it?" turning around to stare at Qie Ranzhe hinting something, "how about all of you join me and that would make eight of you?"


    Qie Ranzhe clenched his fists running out of patience. He was counting the number of ways he can make this demon king dead but Wen Qinxi was counting something else. He lifted his finger to count the number of brothers kowtowing on the ground but it wasn''t adding up.


    He was thinking this demon king seriously needed to go back to preschool to relearn his numbers so he can count properly. That is unless he was counting Qie Anzhie? Seeming to have discovered something interesting he tapped Qie Ranzhe''s shoulder and whispered, "It seems your brother and the demon are...," with the rest of it said using hand gestures which earned him a p on the back of his head from the queen.


    "Ah, ma.....," he said feeling aggrieved but his grievances were soon tossed out the window reced by something so sour leaving a bad taste in his mouth.


    Miyu Ren chuckled having sensed Zhao Zhi''s thoughts so he did him the pleasure of rifying the situation. "The eighth member will obviously be Ran-ge over here. Of course, if he doesn''t like sharing that''s fine too. We already talked about it earlier.... isn''t that right Ran-ge?"


    Wen Qinxi put on a peeved expression while stammering, "Talk, talk about... ha well that''s interesting," in a sarcastic tone. If this type of vinegar could kill he would have been dead already. He quietly stood there biting the inner lining of his lips feeling like his chest was going to explode. He knew there was a big hole in Qie Ranzhe''s story so what exactly did he promise this demon.


    Qie Ranzhe looked back at him mouthing it''s not true while trying to pacify Zhao Zhi but the nerd had had it up to here with Qie Ranzhe''sck of transparency. He just wanted to talk less and beat someone to vent out his feelings. Qie Ranzhe could read the room so he took a step back giving him some space. He just wanted to hurry up and ughter this demon so he could coax his bad bunny in bed.


    "You know..... you might as well give up ande to me willingly. My pet is already wreaking havoc in the mortal realm and none of you can beat mebined so why not jump ship and I will make you a king. All I need you to do is not interfere as I take possession of the queen of the sea," said Miyu Ren slowly approaching Qie Ranzhe like an alluring vixen from the world''s busiest brothel.


    Okay, the nerd didn''t want to resort to violence but the slut had to be punched to exorcise the adulterous spirit lurking within. He wasn''t gentle in the slightest punching the lust out of Miyu Ren in an instant.


    The demon king was too immersed in flirting with a taken man that he didn''t see Zhao Zhiing. To put it simply, this was the moment when all hell broke loose. This was the incident that marked the beginning of a long battle, the longest fight this nerd had ever been directly involved in.


    The demon king was livid wiping the blood off the corner of his mouth his luminous eyes staring fixedly at Zhao Zhi as though staring at a dead man.


    "You want to serve me that much then hold her down while I teach this cunt a fucking lesson," yelled Miyu Ren as a dark shadow surrounded him. The prince stood up ready to restrain the Queen but they were in for a surprise.


    Qie Ranzhe immediately stood in front of Zhao Zhi as ck cmity cloned itself a dozen times. With the rings in hand he summoned half his strength ready to defend his lover but how could Qie Anzhie let that happen?


    It was about time they end decades worth of conflict among brothers to which the end result of it would be one of them dead.

 Chapter 466: Fifth World: Nerd Takes a Hit

    Chapter 466: Fifth World: Nerd Takes a Hit


    Wen Qinxi had never felt like swearing this much in a very long time. This world was so hard which made him feel like crying tears of blood. In this moment he was starting to miss Zhao Huangzhi so much. ''I will take that crazyss any day,'' thought Wen Qinxi faced with this terrifying demon. He was now certain he owed Qie Ranzhe in his previous life otherwise why would he be subjected to such hair raising situations for no apparent reason.


    He might have beenining in his head but his hands weren''t idle. This demon King was relentless tiring him out. He felt like shamelessly running behind Qie Ranzhe but Qie Anzhie was keeping him so busy which meant he would only be a burden and have them both killed but damnit it would have been great to be a damsel in distress for once.


    Wen Qinxi dodged the lousy shadow following him like a missile swimming out of the pce. He decided on gueri warfare for now because he couldn''t take on this demon king head-on.


    He faintly heard Miyu Ren say, "You think you can hide from me you coward?!" but he wasn''t baited. As expected Miyu Ren followed him out but because he didn''t know this ce too well he was going in blind.


    It was because of this that the game of hide and seek turned to a minesweeper game instead with the demon king blowing up everything. The funny thing was that he couldn''t sense Zhao Zhi either making him blow up in anger.


    While Miyu Ren was throwing a tantrum, Wen Qinxi was knocking on the system''s door like his life depended on it.


    "Jolie you bettere out right now... I would appreciate some dance moves to defeat this terminator," he said in a whisper but the system wasn''t helpful at all.


    "Boss, how about some energy drink? Here I have one with a bull on the can. I think it will do the job," replied the system as Wen Qinxi hid behind some boulders.


    "What? Are you referring to red bull? Why would I need that?" asked Wen Qinxi before covering his head after some debris flew in his direction from that idiot blowing up everything.


    "So you can run faster," replied the system with a rather serious tone. The system had calcted the odds of sess and it wasn''t looking good for this nerd. So rather than putting up a fight his best option would be making a break for it.


    Wen Qinxi, "...."


    "I don''t me you for being a coward. You inherited it from me," he whispered trying to figure out a way to restrain this demon. This was his ying field which would be an advantage but the opponent was too powerful. He started going through his inventory when he heard the voice of the queen transmitting throughout the kingdom.


    She had single-handedly took down the seven brothers with ease before calling out to her people to stand up and fight for their sons and daughters who were sacrificed by their selfish king. It was about time they stood up as a whole before this demon eliminates their entire race for their special constitution.


    One might ask why the mermen and mermaids didn''t stand up for themselves all these years? It''s not like they didn''t try. The queen had immobilized a resistance among themon folk but it was crushed by the king before they could speak out.


    But now there was a disturbance in the food chain allowing them to retaliate. It was either fight or die and they chose to fight.


    "Boss, you are so lucky," said the system but it spoke too soon because just after that Miyu Ren blew up the boulder he was hiding behind. Great turbulence was stirred up underwater as Wen Qinxi''s body got tossed by a great force striking him in the stomach making him spit out a mouthful of blood.


    Miyu Ren''s eyes shimmered when he found his target. Pleased with himself he swam over with a smirk and an expression that seemed to say I got you. He let out a throaty chuckle before stretching out his hand releasing vines of dark ominous shadows intending to end his opponent.


    The sinister vines shot out to him but before they could touch a single hair on his head ck cmity appeared out of nowhere slicing the dark shadows till they vanished. With a loud screech, the shadows caught on fire as they burnt to ash.


    Qie Ranzhe stood in front of Zhao Zhi asking, "Are you okay?" with obvious concern in his eyes. Wen Qinxi couldn''t hear him properly as he grimaced in pain. He was mad at the system for jinxing him while Miyu Ren was displeased with his underling who couldn''t keep Qie Ranzhe in check.


    He swung his hand in a motion that closely resembled a p and a strong force hauled Qie Anzhie straight into a building. The wall copsed on top of him with only his legs showing from under the rubble. "You had one job. One freaking job and you failed me! What a useless waste," bellowed Miyu Ren cursing out his disciple.


    While the demon king was distracted by his useless underling, Qie Ranzhe engulfed them in a barrier as he ced Zhao Zhi into his arms. He wiped away the blood from the corner of the man''s lips with his trembling hands.


    There was not one word that could urately describe how he was feeling right now. Distraught, fear, anguish, pain were some of the words he coulde up with but it wouldn''t summarise how he was truly feeling. "Baby, where does it hurt?" he asked while taking out some pills that could help heal Zhao Zhi faster.


    Wen Qinxi was in so much pain that he didn''t have time to indulge in his male god''s genuine concern for him. He felt like his insides were being ripped apart with each passing second. Qie Ranzhe felt like his heart was being torn seeing his lover like this.


    He fed him the best pills he could find whileforting him. "I am here, I am here. The pain will go away just now, okay? Just keep your eyes open," he said in a soft voice while transferring some of his internal energy to Zhao Zhi.


    Bam! Bam!..... Bam!


    Was the sound of the barrier being struck by something. The demon king was standing outside feeling rather uneasy. He wanted Zhao Zhi dead. When he is dead it means Qie Ranzhe would be easy to control but the weak yao was being protected like a fragile egg furtherplicating matters.


    "Make a choice sect leader. Him or your son? Who will this sect leader be willing to save?" said Miyu Ren showing a rather sinister smile.


    Qie Ranzhe felt an unwavering storm brew within him just hearing those words. His expression remained unchanged as he carried on transferring his internal energy into his lover''s body.


    He didn''t know what he would do if he lost Zhao Zhi today. There was a growing urge to tear down the entire world as long as he could keep this man safe. The world would undoubtedly fall apart without him.

 Chapter 467: Fifth World: Tough Choices

    Chapter 467: Fifth World: Tough Choices


    Wen Qinxi felt a warmforting feeling spread throughout his meridians taking the pain away. Feeling like a huge burden had been lifted off his shoulders he opened his eyes and saw Qie Ranzhe looking down at him with a fretting gaze. He could hear Miyu Ren saying something outside the barrier but he didn''t pay attention to him with his gaze locked on Qie Ranzhe.


    The two looked at each other for a long time creating a scene oozing of sweet fluffy feelings that closely resembled cotton candy. "Ran-ge," he called out with their gazes still locked in ce.


    "Mn," replied Qie Ranzhe with his finger subtly rubbing Zhao Zhi''s shoulder disying his affection for his lover.


    "Why are you staring at me?"

    It strongly believed that Wen Qinxi''s IQ took a hit when he got struck by that explosion. Otherwise, why would he even ask such a question when he is ogling at Qie Ranzhe too? How vexing.


    "You aren''t permitted to leave me," he said with a sullen look on his face that made one think he was serious.


    Wen Qinxi couldn''t help but chuckle while saying, "Aren''t permitted ha! Good one," but judging from Qie Ranzhe''s eyes that had darkened further he stoppedughing and asked, "Wait. What? Are you serious?"


    Of course, he is serious and he would appreciate it if his lover took it seriously. He was about to emphasize how serious he was when Miyu Ren suddenly spoke again.


    The demon king was angered by these two who were living in their own little world treating him like air. He was a fierce demon, okay? Not some random passerby in a couple''s selfie.


    "Tick tock sect leader Qie! I don''t have all fucking day!....." he said but he was interrupted by a loud voice calling to him. He swiftly turned around only to be met by the queen and a horde of mermen and mermaids armed for battle. This he found hrious as he let out arrogantughter.


    The reason he found it funny was that these insignificant things actually believed they could defeat him. They weren''t anywhere close to being his opponent but one can''t me them for trying.


    "Think about what I said. You can only pick one," he said before dragging along Qie Anzhie to fight. The man could barely stand up after being beaten by Qie Ranzheand his master''s devastating hit was thest nail in the coffin.


    His face was battered and bruised but that wasn''t the worst of it. His already weak dantian took a great hit causing unbearable pain to spread to his limbs. Miyu Ren noticed and unsheathed Qie Anzhie''s sword before cutting across his palm. He made Qie Anzhie drink his blood before letting him go.


    "Don''t disappoint me again," he said as multiple dark shadowy threads spread from his body. Without any negotiations, he sent these shadows forth attacking the so-called merman army that dared challenge him.


    The dark shadows were especially ruthless striking with a great enough force to kill a mere mortal with one fatal strike. Qie Ranzhe couldn''t watch anymore so he said, "I have to go," to Zhao Zhi but he was extremely reluctant. The only problem was that if he didn''t go and anything happened to his mother inw he would lose brownie points from his sweetheart.


    Wen Qinxi didn''t keep him but couldn''t hold back the worry in his eyes. He was afraid of Qie Ranzhe getting hurt but he still hadn''t fully recovered. So he could only watch as his lover walked out of the safety of the barrier.


    The anger pent up in sect leader Qie''s heart required an outlet and that outlet was none other than Miyu Ren. ck cmity sent a vicious attack towards Qie Anzhie who had just recovered while the sect leader himself sent an intense fireball towards Miyu Ren grasping his attention.


    A normal person would feel overwhelmed being attacked from multiple angles but Miyu Ren wasn''t normal. Even the word abnormal wasn''t a suitable description of him. He was more like a crazy maniac that doesn''t belong in this world. In fact, he was having fun. This was the most fun he had had in his thousand years of living.


    He stretched out his hand and fired spikyshadows towards Qie Ranzhe. But Qie Ranzhe sent the ming ring in his hand towards him before dodging the iing spikes. Miyu Renughed observing the dark expression on Qie Ranzhe''s face.


    Dodging with ease he attacked again when he sensed something maliciousing from his left side. Qie Ranzhe had sent the second ring towards him in a roundabout route that he didn''t immediately notice.


    Miyu Ren furrowed his brow as he moved out of the way but not fast enough to prevent his face from getting shed.


    A thinceration appeared on his pale cheek as the ring flew past him. Livid he struck Qie Ranzhe with a dark shadow sending him out of the realm in an instant. Wen Qinxi who had been watching the show stood up with great difficulty his expression obviously panicked.


    With his hand on his abdomen, he yelled at Miyu Ren in anger but the demon King was the least bit fazed. "Go and restrain him," he said to Qie Anzhie referring to Qie Ranzhe he had just kicked out of the merman kingdom.


    "I have some business to take care of," he said with his sinister gaze turning to Zhao Zhi.


    Qie Anzhie didn''tin, vanishing without a trace while Miyu Ren grabbed the queen by her hair. The guards tried to protect her but it was a futile attempt. The shadowy threads impaled the mermen creating a bloody scene.


    He slowly walked over with the queen struggling to free herself from his hold. She knew what he wanted. He was about to use her as leverage to draw out her son from the barrier but she didn''t want to be the reason for her son''s downfall.


    "I wouldn''t mind dragging you out of there but I don''t have the time to waste so how about youe out on your own?..... Your Ran-ge is such a talented man who can build a barrier that even I would have a hard time breaking but..... unfortunately it''s not ckmail proof," he said gripping the queen''s hair even tighter.


    The queen didn''t make a sound with a determined gaze on her son. She shook her head telling him not toe out but how could Wen Qinxi sit there idly and watch her die. Miyu Ren pulled her head back extending her long and graceful neck while eyeing Zhao Zhi with a bloodthirsty gaze.


    He ced a dagger on her neck drawing blood as he threatened, "You or her. Take a pick..... and be fast about it cause I am getting rather bored."

 Chapter 468: Fifth World: Personal Time With The CEO

    Chapter 468: Fifth World: Personal Time With The CEO


    While Wen Qinxi was being lured out of the barrier by Miyu Ren, Qie Ranzhe was spat out of the portal almost rolling on the ground. He stood upright restoring his expressionless yet intimidating face with ck cmity on his side.


    The only sound wasing from the rings spinning with a shing sound as they hovered on either side of Qie Ranzhe. He could feel a disturbance in the air so he closed his eyes paying attention to where the portal would open from.


    A barely audible tone that closely resembled the sound of electric sparks caught his attention. He ran over to the east where the sound wasing from and as soon as that portal opened the two rings shot out towards Qie Anzhie cutting off both of his arms.


    Qie Anzhie was taken by surprise as his body tumbled to the ground. He wasn''t expecting this which meant he had no time to defend himself.


    A pool of ckish-red blood seeped from the wounds and his mouth as he grimaced in pain.


    His legs moved subtly as though he was trying to get up but an ever so familiar sword appeared on his chest preventing him from getting up. His older brother''s face soon appeared in his line of vision making him chuckle with great difficulty.


    An unsightly amount of blood flowed out of his mouth making Qie Ranzhe frown a little. "Ha-ha da-dage, yo-you finally.... ave..... avenged our..... precious father. He, he would be proud..... haha *cough *cough," said Qie Anzhie taking short breaths.


    Qie Ranzhe had ck cmity move up to the man''s throat and said, "I hated him and I might have killed him too but you beat me to it..... The one I am avenging is my mother. She treated you with the uttermost respect but what did you do?"


    "Oh, that bitch.... ha, ha *cough *cough.... she was good, good at pretending. Just-just to sa-ve face," he said with his vision turning ck.


    "If you had only killed him I wouldn''t have cared. I suffered worse things under his tyranny but my mother..... for that I can''t in good conscience let you live on," said Qie Ranzhe as ck cmity slowly plunged into Qie Anzhie''s neck.


    Qie Anzhie stretched his hand towards Qie Ranzhe as he smiled warmly calling out, "Dage," before it slowly fell back down with his head severed from his torso.


    Qie Ranzhe had a ball of fire appear on his hand and said, "The fact that I won''t let your body rot in the wild is merciful enough. Consider yourself lucky."


    With that said he set alight Qie Anzhie body before drawing an array to cleanse his soul of all that resentment and dark Qi, he umted when he was alive. He wouldn''t want someone using his brother to do further harm to innocent people.


    He silently watched as the body burnt to ashes that is until the earth beneath him trembled apanied by a beastly roar. He could sense that some ghastly beast had been unleashed upon the mortal realm in the Zhao sect to be exact.


    "Lin Lin!" he thought before vanishing into thin air heading for the Zhao sect.


    Meanwhile, in the underwater realm, the once crystal clear water free of pollution was now tainted by the agitated sediments, scattered rubble and faint hints of blood. The army of yao didn''t seem to be fairing well against this viin who had no better use of his time.


    A stabbing pain pierced Wen Qinxi''s heart looking at this devastating scene. Over the past worlds, he had to experience tragic things but this was to a whole new level. What made things worse was the fact that he didn''t have Qie Ranzhe around for emotional support making this even harder to deal with.


    A murderous storm arose from his underbelly as it swept away the helpless feeling fogging his brain. He was tired of being pushed around by Qie Ranzhe''s figment of imagination.


    He should have been cosying up with the sect leader before this world ends and they go back to their real lives. This demon king was seriously eating into his personal time with the CEO.


    The system felt something was off with Wen Qinxi that it decided to step aside and light candles for this ancestor that was about to be turned into mincemeat. If there is one thing the system figured after interacting with Wen Qinxi for so long is that you can screw with him all you want but don''t you ever mess with his personal time with Qie Ranzhe.


    That would earn one a bucket load of ass-whooping and believe this system it''s not just empty threats. And right now this demon king was ruining that especially when Wen Qinxi didn''t get to spend as much time with Qie Ranzhe as in other worlds.


    While the system was finding a rock to hide under, Wen Qinxi found he was on the brink of losing his mind with the atmosphere taking a drastic turn. The disturbed waters suddenly became calm with a massive chilling auraing from Wen Qinxi.


    "You want me that bad then I wille out..... only if you let her go," said Wen Qinxi in an arrogant tone that could anger the haughtiest of people.


    Miyu Ren felt a searing excitement throughout his body like he had finally met his match. A sly grin appeared on his face eyeing Zhao Zhi with a hard to describe emotion. The cowardly fish was gone reced by a brazen soul emitting such a damning aura. He couldn''t wait to fight him and see what he got.


    Without thinking much he roughly pushed the queen away and said, "Nowe out and let''s y."


    Wen Qinxi wasn''t messing around. He stepped out and multiple whirlpools formed around him as an inexplicable power surged within him. He was a descendant of the royal blood and this bloodline wasn''t in name only. This was the reason why the demon king wanted this bloodline in the first ce. It was like tapping into an infinite stream of power drawn from the powerful ancestral line.


    Though he knew they were powerful, Miyu Ren hadn''t personally experienced it. This is why he was so excited to exchange pointers with this version of Zhao Zhi.


    Wen Qinxi was angered by that psycho smile stered on Miyu Ren''s face so much so that he sent the whirlpools towards him turning them to ice along the way. Miyu Ren didn''t see thising with his dark shadow rushing to break apart the ice shards.

 Chapter 469: Fifth World: The Kings Trident

    Chapter 469: Fifth World: The King''s Trident


    The ice shards exploded into a million pieces obscuring Miyu Ren''s vision. His tentacle-like dark shadows cleared the icicles away only to find Zhao Zhi twirling in the water with magic frost in his hand. A sharp luminous arc of water was formed at the swing of magic frost.


    Miyu Ren swam up like a torpedo dodging the attack. The beautiful arc formed by magic frost was incredibly fatal as shown by how it copsed the building Qie Anzhie fell into earlier. The demon king stretched out his hands sending the dark shadows with sharp pointed tips above Zhao Zhi''s head.


    Wen Qinxi immobilized the water above him creating an imprable ice shield causing the solidified shadows to shatter like ss on contact. "Impressive..... how about we increase the level of difficulty?" asked Miyu Ren making a strange hand signal. He bit his middle finger drawing blood and finalized his summoning.


    The dark shadows surrounding him gathered to form a fierce-looking snakelike figure jolting this nerd. If there is one thing he fears the most it would be snakes and lo and beyond there was one. ''Damnit,'' he thought before shielding himself by forming a solid water barrier around him.


    Miyu Ren naturally didn''t miss this subtle response to his heinous creation. He chuckled and said, "Don''t worry you won''t feel any pain. My baby over here will bite your head off cleanly," taunting his opponent.


    The snake figure stuck out its tongue imitating a real snake as it coiled around Miyu Ren in an action that could only be considered affectionate. At hismand, it shot out like a rocket aiming for Zhao Zhi''s frozen solid shield.


    Bang! Roar!.... Bang, bang bang!


    These were the sounds of the agitated snake figure attempting to break apart the shield surrounding its prey. Miyu Ren was right. He had indeed upgraded his level of attack.


    Wen Qinxi could feel the massive powering from the snake figure beating at his shield. He increased his level of strength holding the barrier in ce that his foot sank deeper into the ground creating a dent.


    Focusing all his Qi on his hands he bellowed pushing back real hard but it wasn''t enough. The snake figure kept pushing him to the limit that he felt his meridians strained under such pressure.


    The queen couldn''t watch on any longer gathering a white light in her hands before sending two spherical beams at the snake. The snake screeched as the pure light energy got in contact with it. It turned its head backwards trying to fend off the light but it was basically impossible.


    Miyu Ren was angered by her interference so he swung his hand sending a shadow to immobilize her but she ended up dodging out of the way. The only problem was that her beautiful mermaid tail wasn''t spared.


    Though the injury was superficial it hurt so much that she could barely move. "Stay!" yelled Miyu Ren as though addressing a dog, "good girl."


    Wen Qinxi was angered to the point of losing his mind. His anger resulted in a highly unusual phenomenon that would forever be on the tongues of the yao race.


    When a king dies his trident with five prongs made up of a blend of tungsten and titanium would vanish and reappear when the next king is appointed.


    The culture of not letting mermaids take up the throne meant when a king was appointed by marriage the trident wouldn''t appear. It was only when the direct bloodline of the original yao king sat on the throne would the trident appear.


    This meant that since their king wasn''t dead yet just restrained the trident shouldn''t appear but it did and in the hands of the queen''s only child. He wasn''t king but he somehow awakened his bloodline forcibly taking the throne. Believe it or not, it wasn''t intentional on Wen Qinxi''s part. He was just so upset seeing this vile demon hurt the queen.


    With a buzzing vibration, the trident spun towards Wen Qinxi as he stretched out his hand to catch it. In one fell swoop, he pierced his own barrier and plunged the luminescent trident into the snake figure making it roar in pain.


    He effectively beheaded the creature with a blinding bright light spreading throughout the water. The force pushed away everyone except Miyu Ren who stayed rooted on the spot with great difficulty.


    He seemed steady but the blood streaming at the corner of his lips spoke volumes. The power of the trident was indeed formidable worthy of its reputation. It was then that Miyu Ren felt stupid.


    He assumed he had never seen the merman king''s trident because he kept it in his interspatial ring or something. Who would have thought he didn''t show it off because he never had it in the first ce because he didn''t have the original yao king''s bloodline.


    Wen Qinxi spun the trident in his hand and threw it like a javelin at Miyu Ren who dodged as the bright light faded. As he dodged he wanted to retaliate but he suddenly felt like his throat was being strangled. This is when it hit him.


    The moment Zhao Zhi attained the trident it made him the most powerful person in this ying field. He could manipte the entire underwater realm to confine him which meant this was the most dangerous ce for this demon to be.


    He was never one to y fair so as soon as he had the chance he painstakingly drew an array with his still bleeding finger transporting the both of them out of the underwater realm back to the mortal realm.


    "Fuck!" swore Wen Qinxi as he dressed himself in a fine blue robe. He stretched out his hand to catch the trident that followed him through the portal his face as ck as the bottom of a charcoal pot.


    With his hair still dripping wet from the previous realm, he swapped the trident for magic frost intending to attack the demon king a few feet from him. That''s when he heard a loud bellow causing the ground to tremble and this terrifying sound wasing from the direction of the Zhao sect.


    His eyes widened as he murmured, "Lin Lin," before vanishing into the thin air. The demon king didn''t rush to follow standing in ce with a sinisterugh.


    "It''s pointless because none of you can defeat my pet," said Miyu Renmending their bravery. If it could be defeated why would the king of the underworld confine it under a mountain instead of killing it from the very beginning?


    Thinking he could go watch a good show and witness this merman get eaten, he followed behind. After that, he could go and catch the mermaid queen toplete his original n.


    Then he could imprison that stubborn Qie Ranzhe till he was willing to rule beside him. What a delusional demon. His dream was never going to be a reality but who would dare burst that bubble? Not unless that person was tired of living.


    I know I am not tired of living so I won''t say jerk and zip my mouth. With that said good luck to this demon king.

 Chapter 470: Fifth World: A Professional Pick Pocket

    Chapter 470: Fifth World: A Professional Pick Pocket


    Wen Qinxi almost had a heart attack seeing that ginormous chimera wrecking havoc in the Zhao sect. Its presence had attracted a lot of nascent soul cultivators from other sects but even in the presence of such powerful people, it was pointless. The creature was just too formidable bringing the cultivators to their knees. The once beautifulndscape was chaotic with ruined buildings and blood stter everywhere. The disciples and elders were doing everything to fight this unholy beast but they were basically stalling for time.


    From this angle, he could see Qie Ranzhe, Machu, Dai Yu and Shao Lan fighting alongside the elders and sect leaders to restrain the vile creature.


    Everything about it was hair raising. Its sharp canines on the lion head had blood dripping down as it bellowed causing an earth tremor. One would assume the goat head protruding on its back would be less intimidating whenpared to the lion and snakehead but that wasn''t necessarily true.


    The goat head was equally terrifying with an ugly enough appearance to scare a sleeping baby. Its jaundice like yellow eyes made Wen Qinxi''s skin tingly and tight with goosebumps. But he would rather look at that than the snakehead that was striking at the cultivators with its mouth wide open showing its long fangs.


    "When he wakes up I am going to p him. I want to smack that weird imagination of his out of his head," said Wen Qinxi to the system. He couldn''t help but wonder why Qie Ranzhe wouldn''t think up a fluffy unicorn or better yet a pegasus.


    Instead, he conjured up such a terrible creature making Wen Qinxi''s job extremely difficult. Even J.K. Rowling couldn''t conjure up such a terrifying creature in her bestselling novels but this CEO had toe up with this heaven-defying existence for this nerd to deal with.


    "Ha! Fluffy unicorn? That would seriously ruin his reputation. I bet you willugh at him each time you see him," exined the system feeling rather amused by Wen Qinxi''s statement. A chimera made more sense clearly demonstrating how messed up Qie Ranzhe''s brain was.


    Just as Wen Qinxi unsheathed magic frost, Qie Xieling showed up out of nowhere and pulled him into a teleportation portal without thinking much. Wen Qinxi was dragged back into Zhao Zhi''s home that he lived in the Zhao sect. "Shi-shixiong!" he called out while bending down to catch his breath. It was as though he had been running a marathon from the way he was breathing heavy.


    He ced his hand on Zhao Zhi''s shoulder with his other hand on his waist like a heavily pregnant woman. Exhaling deeply he said, "Yo-you can''t go there. It''s too dangerous."


    ''Okay, he is definitely my son,'' thought Wen Qinxi before taking his hand leading him to sit down. He would love to hide indoors with his little cutie but this was the final stage for this world. If that boss of his dies then he would have to go through the ghosts, monks and worse of all the horrid creature wreaking havoc outside again. There was no way in hell he was going to let that happen so he had to toughen up and face the danger head-on.


    He just had to make sure Qie Xieling understood that dad had to go. "I can''t let your father fight on his own so be good and stay here, okay?" said Wen Qinxi stroking Qie Xieling''s long hair.


    Qie Xieling didn''t seem to easily ept Zhao Zhi''s words changing his tune drastically. "Then I will go with you. Shixiong, let me go with you," with his lips pouted looking rather pitiful.


    But even his puppy dog eyes couldn''t convince Wen Qinxi to bring him along. If anything happens to him it could also count as failure and he wouldn''t want to experience the feeling of losing Qie Xieling.


    "Be obedient and I will be right back, okay? Just stay here," he said as he embraced Qie Xieling before making his exit. Qie Xieling could feel there was more to this hug making him anxious. He wanted to follow but a security barrier was ced on the property.


    In a panic he touched his side to find his interspatial bag intending to take out a talisman that could help him break out of there only to find out that Zhao Zhi had another talent which was a professional pickpocket. His interspatial bag was robbed when he was being embraced and he easily fell for it like a naive idiot.


    "Damn it," he said to himself kicking one of the canopy bed''s legs but it seemed he used a little force because he ended up stubbing his toe. Feeling aggrieved he hopped on one leg grimacing with an irritating sting in his eyes from the pain.


    Wen Qinxi naturally didn''t know about this cing Qie Xieling''s interspatial bag on the doorknob outside. The barrier would take itself down after eight hours which was hopefully enough time to take down that beast or decide to retreat.


    Wen Qinxi was just in time to find Miyu Ren hovering above them like a king in haughtyughter. He truly found pleasure in their misfortune taunting them to no end.


    Qie Ranzhe was so pissed off that he flung one of the rings which locked on its target cutting Miyu Ren''s arm. Shocked, Miyu Ren eyed him in bewilderment with his hand covering his wound. His sleeve and hand were soon soaked in ck blood from the deep cut.


    "You dare!" he yelled at Qie Ranzhe with his bloodshot eyes his chest heaving up and down in anger. A man like Qie Ranzhe wasn''t easy to control and he knew that but he was so determined to get him.


    He wouldn''t want to take things as far as turning Qie Ranzhe into a puppet. He hoped to have Qie Ranzhe join his cause willingly but the likelihood of that happening was extremely low. This left the demon king with no choice but to consider the extreme method.


    Qie Ranzhe caught his ring that boomeranged back to his side with a zing me. He was about to attack Miyu Ren once more but he was attacked by the snakehead with its venomous fangs aiming for his leg.


    His expression didn''t change but as he was about to effortlessly dodged the attack he was suddenly pulled by the arm with his body mming into somethingfortable and warm.


    Zhao Zhi had his arm around his waist pulling him close into an ambiguous posture that left one questioning their rtionship. Not only that but Zhao Zhi whispered in his ear saying, "Why are you so clumsy?" with his warm breath brushing against his skin giving off a tingly sensation.

 Chapter 471: Fifth World: Wrong Timing For Flirting

    Chapter 471: Fifth World: Wrong Timing For Flirting


    Qie Ranzhe suppressed a smile as he spun them both around shing at the snakehead that was trying to sneak up behind Zhao Zhi''s back. ck cmity struck the Snake''s eye making it hiss in pain. "You are the clumsy one," he said with his hands now the ones wrapped tightly around Zhao Zhi''s waist.


    "Oh god. You are still flirting even in this dangerous situation? I am starting to think your dog food will kill me before this beast does,"ined Machu feeling rather left out. He had to endure Shao Lan and Dai Yu now these two.


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t respond to Machu''s bbering leering at Zhao Zhi with a highly suggestive malign expression like he was stripping him naked with his eyes. Wen Qinxi couldn''t stand being stared at like that blushing like a timid bride. "I, we have to take down this beast first..... *ahem... I will go first," he said freeing himself from Qie Ranzhe''s grasp.


    But just as he thought he was free to leave his waist was grasped tightly once more and his body dragged back into the man''s embrace. Qie Ranzhe''s gaze fell on Zhao Zhi''s soft lips as he slowly crept closer.


    Their lips touched causing a massive explosion in their senses as their hearts beat in syncbined as one. Wen Qinxi''s lips parted as though granting Qie Ranzhe permission to explore and im his territory. He was hungry for more but the timing was obviously off hence he was bound to be disappointed.


    Miyu Ren couldn''t help but feel disrespected. He was beginning to question whether this was a fight or a scene from the movie Mr and Mrs Smith. Heunched an attack aimed at Zhao Zhi but before the dark shadow could strike its target it was intercepted by one of the heavenly rings resulting in the abrupt end of the lovers'' kiss.


    "You can''t me me for this. You two have zero sense of awareness," said Miyu Ren sitting in the lotus position mid-air.


    Qie Ranzhe ignored him staring at his lover''s misty eyes and flushed face which looked especially tantalizing.


    "How about we get this over and done with so we can carry on with what we were doing?" asked Qie Ranzhe before swallowing his saliva with lustful eyes.


    "Ah.... yes, yes.... sure. Let''s *ahem," stammered Wen Qinxi feeling discontented. This is why this viin had to be dealt with. Miyu Ren was seriously screwing with his sex life.


    Qie Ranzhe lightly chuckled as he kissed Zhao Zhi''s forehead with heart warning tenderness that had this nerd''s heart-melting into a puddle. The sect leader reluctantly let him go issuing out orders to take charge of the situation.


    The present sect leaders and elders weren''t too pleased with this young sect leader who is still too wet behind his ears. But ever since he showed up they seemed to be making good progress more progress than they were making earlier.


    Though unwilling, they were forced to listen to him otherwise they would be seriously putting the entire world at risk. Qie Ranzhe''s strategy was rather simple. He wanted this beast restrained at any cost which implored everyone''s ability regardless of cultivation rank. The body count drastically reduced when he showed up as their attack was more organized than before.


    Wen Qinxi leapt up further into the sky with the snakehead following after him but before it could touch his tippy toes it was struck by Qie Ranzhe''s soul suppressing chain strangling its neck. The chimera''s skin was difficult to prate which is why their swords were rather useless but strangling was effective.


    The chain tightened as Qie Ranzhe tugged on the chain pulling it back down. The snake hissed as a zing me spread from Qie Ranzhe''s hands up to the part of the chain wrapped around the snake''s neck. The hiss turned to a high pitched shrill as it shifted its attack towards Qie Ranzhe.


    Wen Qinxi drew something in the air with his eyes closed drawing water in all forms towards him. If this was in the Qie sect it would be rtively easy as thendmark had variouskes. Wen Qinxi had topromise drawing water from the trees and wells around the sect towards him.


    The lush green trees were robbed of all their water till they shrivelled up into crispy dry brunches that could easily crumble at the tap of a finger. Because he was drawing water from the most difficult of ces he exerted so much strength tiring him out.


    Fine droplets of water soon gathered around him and when he was certain he had gathered enough water he opened his glowing blue eyes and stretched out his hand with the droplets joining together to form an intricate. Though made of water the was formidable enough to hold down the beast in ce.


    Beads of cold sweat formed on Wen Qinxi''s forehead as he fought to press down the as the beast struggled with an aggressive roar. The goat head tried to move up and breathe fire on the but Dai Yu''s whip wrapped around the goat head''s neck holding it down. Shao Lan swung his sword at that moment cutting off the goat''s tongue that was sticking out.


    "Machu hold this!" yelled Qie Ranzhe referring to the chain that was still holding down the snakehead. Machu immediately ran over grabbing the chain disregarding how hot it was. Qie Ranzhe lifted his arms and the two rings obediently appeared in his hands.


    With no second thought, Qie Ranzhe leapt right into the lion''s mouth startling Wen Qinxi who was struggling to hold back this vile creature. It wasn''t only Wen Qinxi who was shocked but Miyu Ren as well. He thought he was crazy but it turned out that Qie Ranzhe was crazier than him.


    There was no use in denying it. What he thought was impossible was now bing a reality. He had to retreat and capture the queen, feed her his blood and harvest the mermaid''s dantian when it is ripe. After that, he would be the most powerful being that even the heavens would bow to. Just like that he vanished reappearing a few feet away from the Zhao sect.


    Desperate, he drew the array with his blood to enter the secret realm of that yao but no matter how hard he tried it wouldn''t open. Vexed he tried several times more but it was pointless. "Hahahaha.... good one. Very good one," he said to himself with an eerie smile.


    This had to do with the trident leaving the secret realm with Zhao Zhi so he could no longer enter as he pleased. He swore in anger with crazed eyes as he destroyed his surroundings with his menacing shadows.


    That is when he had a moment of inspiration. He couldn''t take the queen nor Zhao Zhi who was overprotected. This left him with one other usible candidate.


    "Qie Xieling," he whispered before vanishing into thin air once more.

 Chapter 472: Fifth World: Why Qie Xieling Cant Have A Sword

    Chapter 472: Fifth World: Why Qie Xieling Can''t Have A Sword


    Qie Xieling didn''t look for trouble but trouble definitely came looking for him in a rush. He had been sitting by the door in the lotus position looking like a toddler waiting for his mom toe out of the bathroom after leaving him outside. Only the heavens know how painful that wait was but what else could he do?


    It had only been thirty minutes but to him, it felt like he had been waiting for hours. The feeling was sort of simr to a hangry person waiting for food. Ten minutes to them feels like an overnight train ride to a different city.


    So when he heard noisesing from outside his wan expression drastically changed to a beaming smile. He thought his Shixiong was back for him so he stood up ready toin like a disgruntled puppy. But as the sounds grew louder he realised something was wrong. It sounded more like someone was trying to break in rather than open the barrier the regr way.


    "Damn it," he swore as he turned his Shixiong''s room upside down. He was looking for anything and everything that he could use to defend himself against the intruder. Sadly, the only thing he could find was books. Some of the books were as thick as three phone booksbined but what was he supposed to do with these? Clobber the intruder to death?


    He could have used the pair of ck and gold silk ribbons his father gave to him but because he hadn''t mastered them yet he ced them in his interspatial bag which his Shixiong took. There were two reasons he didn''t have a sword. One was because he was extremely afraid of heights and second he almost extended Shao Lan''s scar by ident. This had Qie Ranzhe ept that his son wasn''t a sword person plus he could always hitch a ride with him or use talismans when they had to go somewhere.


    The ribbons were a special kind of spiritual tool perfect for him because it had their own divine sense and had a vicious attackparable to ck cmity if mastered. But of course, Qie Xieling was a little bitzy and the only trick he could do with the pair of ribbons was make them bring him snacks.


    Feeling upset Qie Xieling tossed the books aside and decided to hide inside the closet. To stall for time he would seal himself inside and reduce his presence significantly.


    Ten gruesome minutester the barrier scattered with a loud crashing sound that had Qie Xieling slightly panicked. He covered his mouth while chanting, "Go away, go away, go away," internally as though trying to get rid of the bogeyman under his bed. It didn''t work but it calmed his mind.


    The room fell into an eerie silence with not even the sound of insects chirping outside. It seemed they were also frightened and vacated the area as fast as possible. Only Qie Xieling was left hiding in a closet like an idiot. At least his shixiong''s scenting from the robes in the closet soothed him a little.


    The sound of heavy boots stepping on the wooden floorboards soon permeated the air making Qie Xieling''s body stiffen. He was sweating bullets as the steps got closer and closer. He felt like crying out to his father but he obviously wouldn''t be able to hear him.


    The footsteps paused nearby causing Qie Xieling to hold his breath while shutting his eyes tightly. He would rather suffocate than be caught by whoever was outside the closet right now. Two minutester the loud footsteps began again followed by a loud crashing sound.


    Crash!.... Thud! Thud! Bang!


    Were the sounds echoing through the still air making Qie Xieling flinch. It seemed the person was turning the room upside down looking for him.


    "Xieling..... how about youe out for this uncle?" said Miyu Ren scanning the room for possible hideout ces. He overlooked the closet twice because the barrier Qie Xieling erected made the closet invisible to the untrained eye. This meant in Miyu Ren''s eyes the closet appeared like a wall.


    He could sense something was off but he still couldn''t pinpoint what exactly was amiss. That''s because Qie Xieling''s father was a barrier expert a talent he naturally passed down to his son. This meant Miyu Ren wouldn''t be able to find Qie Xieling without external means.


    "If youe out by yourself I will make sure it''s less painful..... or you would rather pick the hard way?" he said with a sinister smile on his face.


    Qie Xieling felt his body stretch taut pressing his lips into a straight line. He was distraught wishing for this to end as soon as possible but because of his stirred up emotions, the pendant around his neck became agitated glowing like amp in the inky darkness.


    This pendant was given to him by his grandmother a few hours ago but he didn''t know its purpose. In fact, he hadn''t had enough time to ask his grandmother what it does. The glow became blindingly bright unfortunately selling his position to Miyu Ren.


    The demon king smiled maliciously as he sent his dark shadows to smash the barrier. The barrier instantly formed cracks where it was struck partially exposing the closet. Thinking he had finally caught his prey, Miyu Ren struck the barrier once more this time much forceful than before.


    As soon as the barrier fell his eyes were suddenly burnt by a beaming light that had him groaning in pain while stumbling backwards. Seeing this Qie Xieling jumped out of the closet while simultaneously summoning his ribbons.


    Since the outside barrier was broken the ck silky ribbons slithered over coiling around Qie Xieling''s wrists up to his elbow. He was about to run out as the pendant light dimmed but Miyu Ren wasn''t one to let his prey slip away easily.


    His eyes were surrounded by red burn wounds but they still functioned properly. His dark shadows grabbed Qie Xieling''s shoulders and tossed him straight into the wall but the boy didn''t hit the wall. Instead, his ribbons unwound and grasped the roof beam steadying Qie Xieling on the ground.


    "Hahaha..... good one. I was wondering where the legendary weeping fairy''s most prized possession went to.... it turns out while King Yama was dragging her to the eighteenth level of hell your father was busy robbing her precious ribbons. How resourceful," he said ambling in the room with his gaze transfixed on Qie Xieling.


    Qie Xieling didn''t respond moving a few steps further away from Miyu Ren. "You look exactly like him but the aura ispletely different.... maybe it''s because his perfect bloodline was tainted by that yao. What a shame," he said tapping the table with his fingers.


    This seeded in angering Qie Xieling that he attacked without thinking twice. He didn''t have his father''s personality but he inherited his temper from his Shixiong so there was no way he would back down when pissed.

 Chapter 473: Fifth World: Zhao Huangzhi Makes A Comeback

    Chapter 473: Fifth World: Zhao Huangzhi Makes A Comeback


    While Qie Xieling was engaged in battle, Wen Qinxi felt his chest burn like something inside of him was being torn apart. He held on as long as he could as Qie Ranzhe ripped the beast from within.


    He felt like he had to go somewhere and if he didn''t he would lose something very important and the longer he stayed the more intense the feeling. The pain almost suffocated him prompting him to let go.


    The instantly copsed with Zhao Zhi vanishing into thin air right in front of everyone. As though granted amnesty the chimera bellowed as it attempted to shake off everyone. The snakehead rose pulling Machu along with it. He stood his ground with his feet buried into the soil tagging the chain but the snakehead was too powerful.


    "Lan-ge, help him!" yelled Dai Yu as she tightened her hold on her whip. Shao Lan didn''t dy grasping the chain. The two men worked especially hard till their palms reddened but it was futile. The snakehead pulled back before attacking its own body.


    The chimera could feel something was moving inside its body but couldn''t pinpoint where the culprit was so the snakehead began to strike randomly. It didn''t care that it was hurting itself maybe because it knew if it didn''t get rid of whatever was inside its body it would die a miserable death.


    It was right about that because in a matter of minutes its insides closely resembled diced meat. The chimera roared in pain dying from the inside. It didn''t take long for the giant creature to tumble to the ground causing the earth to tremble like an earth tremor. The ground cracked with half of the Zhao sect sinking into the ground.


    The crowd was silent for a minute staring at the beast in awe. They couldn''t believe the legendary chimera was dead just like that. It was so unbelievable that one even tried to poke the body just to be certain. As soon as he did this he regretted it because the body moved.


    The cultivators stepped back ready to attack when a ming ring sliced open the belly of the chimera before a blood-soaked man crawled out of the beast.


    He literally crawled out of the belly of the beast. This had the crowd jeering for this ballsy sect leader from the Qie sect but he couldn''t bring himself to care about them looking around for Zhao Zhi.


    He had imagined his lover bringing over a handkerchief while embracing him calling him, "My hero," in a coquettish voice but his hopes were shattered.


    Instead, it was Machu who came over andzily tossed the handkerchief over saying, "Here, good job boss." It seemed like we can''t all get what we want even after we save the world.


    "Where is he?" he asked wiping away the disgusting blood on his face. Machu pointed in the direction of Zhao Zhi''s peak making this sect leader drop everything as he flew over in a hurry.


    While Qie Ranzhe was slicing and dicing the belly of the beast, Wen Qinxi had arrived at Zhao Zhi''s home and found Qie Xieling in a chokehold with Miyu Ren''s arm tightening around the boy''s neck.


    Miyu Ren saw Zhao Zhi walk in and his dark eyes arched in a sinister way with an evil smile stered on his face. "Oh look who is here? Your little father is here to rescue you right in time," said Miyu Ren almost whispering in Qie Xieling''s ear.


    Qie Xieling''s eyes flushed a glint of danger as he struggled fiercely but he was unable to talk. "Let him go," said Wen Qinxi with his chest tightening at the sight.


    "En, I hear you but first drop it. The trident, magic frost, everything. Drop it," said Miyu Ren tightening his hold on Qie Xieling.


    Wen Qinxi didn''t hesitate to take out everything he had on him before cing it on the ground. "Done, now let him go," he said in a distraught voice. He couldn''t watch his baby die NPC or not. This would be too much for him.


    "Mn, I can see that.... now seal your spiritual power for me," said Miyu Ren but Zhao Zhi didn''t react fast enough so he yelled, "Now!"


    This jolted Wen Qinxiso much that he sealed his spiritual power as swiftly as possible. As soon as he did this, the earth trembled as the chimera let out itsst cry before it died. Wen Qinxi was suddenly attacked from behind with a sword piercing his back.


    His face turned red as he looked down at the sword protruding through his abdomen. He was in so much pain that the veins on his neck bulged with his body trembling. The person shoved him to the ground snapping Qie Xieling and Miyu Ren out of their shock stricken state.


    "Who?... Shixiong!" yelled Qie Xieling as he watched his Shixiong''s body tumble to the ground. The culprit''s face was revealed as Zhao Zhi''s body fell. It was a gorgeous woman who hadn''t shown her face from the start of this world. She was harbouring so much resentment that she couldn''t resist taking advantage of the situation.


    Her father was chained in the cold cave behind the sect. A ce where traitors were thrown with the chill prating their bones, dantian and meridians. Even if he was freedter he would never be the same. Her mother left the sect in anger tired of her husband''s lies choosing not to take her daughter along.


    Her perfect life was ruined. The love of her life was also robbed and there was only one person to me for this. That is her fake brother Zhao Zhi. She came here to burn his house because she could never win if she took him on face to face but who would have thought she would get such a splendid opportunity.


    She wiped the blood off her sword on Zhao Zhi''s robes while saying, "That''s what you get for stealing my man bitch!" with a terrifying smile that had even the demon king shudder.


    "I am fuckin crazy but you, you are the queen of psycho bitches," said Miyu Ren praising her.


    "Oh," she said as though just realising there were other people in the room, "Carry on. I will be leaving first."


    Wen Qinxi was slipping in and out of consciousness unable to bear the pain. Couldn''t he have had a better ending than this he thought with his hazy eyes looking up to the ceiling? He took his words from earlier back. He would take on the demon king any day. Zhao Huangzhi was too vicious.

 Chapter 474: Fifth World: Lin Lin To The Rescue

    Chapter 474: Fifth World: Lin Lin To The Rescue


    The saying life is not a bed of roses is sad but true. Wen Qinxi had already fought off ghosts, the undead, a legendary creature and a cunning demon king only to be derailed by this vile woman. He couldn''t believe it with the light in his eyes fading.


    His bodyy sprawled on the floor in a pool of blood with his face growing paler and paler by the minute. The pain made his brain numb void of any thoughts. He couldn''t even hear what Jolie was saying to him as his life shed before his eyes.


    Qie Xieling called out to his Shixiong his body trembling in shock. His eyes reddened as his tears flowed uncontrobly. He broke free from Miyu Ren''s hold and rushed over to his Shixiong. Maybe it was because the demon king''s hold had loosened or a sudden rush of adrenaline that gave Qie Xieling the chance to escape. He knelt in front of his Shixiong and shakily stretched out his hands to touch Zhao Zhi''s cheeks.


    A warm drop of his tearnded on his finger as he hesitantly ced his hands on Zhao Zhi''s pale face. Miyu Ren rolled his eyes pretty much sick of this soapy scene and proceeded to grab Qie Xieling''s elbow to drag him away and make his escape but what happened next waspletely unexpected.


    Qie Xieling broke away from his grasp as an ominous white light gathered in his palm. A powerful beam of light shot out of his hand suddenly sending the demon king flying. Miyu Ren was driven straight into a wall as he spat out a mouthful of blood.


    The word shock was well written on his face as his body slid down to the ground. He ced his hand on his abdomen grimacing in pain as he tried to get up. He couldn''t believe he had been beaten down by a kid who still had milking out of his nose. Miyu Ren tried to get up a few more times but he failed miserably.


    Meanwhile, Qie Xieling gently touched his shixiong''s face as though afraid to hurt him. His eyes shifted to the wound as he recalled how his grandmother healed his swollen cheek before. He looked down at his trembling hands with his blurry eyes brimming with emotion.


    Without thinking much he decided to tap into uncharted territory and see if he can heal his Shixiong. He frustratedly tried to jumpstart his unawakened power which proved difficult but he didn''t give up.


    All this fell into Zhao Huangzhi''s line of sight. She had initially wanted to leave as her goal had been achieved but when she saw Qie Xieling crying like he had a lost someone important she couldn''t help but be curious. She had a slight inkling that their rtionship wasn''t as simple as it seemed and it was this exact line of thought that she used as an excuse to Qie Ranzhe a few minutester.


    What happened next had her vexed. It wasn''t a well-kept secret that Qie Xieling was a wastrel who couldn''t cultivate to save his life but at this moment the rumours were debunked. The kid could not only cultivate but his strength was powerful enough to knock out a demon king. This realization had her emotions caught up in turmoil.


    She wanted to stay out of it but when she saw him trying to heal Zhao Zhi, she snapped. Zhao Huangzhi reached out to stop Qie Xieling from undoing what she had done but her body was suddenly pushed by a force powerful enough to shatter bone.


    Zhao Huangzhi barely had enough time to react when she was struck again but this time she was hit right in the face with a backhanded p that had her falling straight into an overturned table. Her spinended directly onto the leg of the table most likely breaking something in her body.


    "She, she stabbed Shixiong," said Qie Xieling in a brittle voice as he struggled to focus.


    Qie Ranzhe knelt on one knee in front of Zhao Zhi his eyes unable to conceal the distress that was spilling out. He reached out with his blood-stained fingers to touch his lover''s face but he retracted them when he realised his hands were dirty.


    He clenched the hilt of ck cmity trembling in anger. He felt his heart twist in excruciating pain as he shifted his vicious re at the culprit.


    Zhao Huangzhi was just in time to meet that gaze as she sat up straight. Her heart jolted as her face turned ashen. She crawled backwards in fright while asionally waving her hand attempting to exin herself.


    Her dress stuck to her back from all the cold sweat. "I, I..... I had to. He was taking advantage of your son. He is a pedi-..... argh.... ah.... argh," she said before her throat was grabbed into a suffocating grip.


    Her excuse proved pointless at this moment as her life was being choked out of her. She tried to plead with him but the only soundsing from her were choking coupled with grunting and groaning noises.


    All the while Qie Ranzhe was staring straight into her eyes with a murderous aura surrounding him. He was about to snap her neck and end her when he heard a coughing sound coupled with Qie Xieling''s ted voice.


    He turned his head only to find the man who had been lying limply on the floor attempt to sit up straight. Some colour had returned to his face as Qie Xieling embraced him crying like an abandoned child.


    Zhao Zhi patted Qie Xieling''s back while smiling at Qie Ranzhe making this sect leader''s heart leap out of his chest. He flung Zhao Huangzhi''s body to the side not caring where shended and strode over before half kneeling in front of his lover.


    He had a lot to say but at this moment he couldn''t find the right words. He just stared and stared and stared at him with his heart palpitating as fast as a bullet train. Qie Ranzhe wanted to hold him but Qie Xieling was hogging all the space that he could barely fit in anywhere.


    That is when Shao Lan, Dai Yu and Machu showed up crowding at the door. Their gaze fell on the chaotic room and felt speechless. Machu grinned maliciously when he saw Miyu Ren. He badly wanted to prove himself and ughter the demon king especially after all that shit he had been through. He entered the room after pushing Shao Lan out of the way but Shao Lan could read his mind.


    He grabbed Machu''s elbow and muttered, "I think sect leader Qie would personally like to deal with him. And as for you.... I think you need to prove yourself after Mingxia pulled a fast one on you," pointing at Zhao Huangzhi who was trying to crawl away to the back door.

 Chapter 475: Fifth World: Flaunting Their Love Like An Instagram couple

    Chapter 475: Fifth World: unting Their Love Like An Instagram couple


    Machu pulled up a stiff smile at Shao Lan before the arc on his lips fell. "Fine," he said as he waved his fan releasing three flying daggers in her direction. The three of themnded right in front of Zhao Huangzhi stopping her in her tracks. Her eyes widened in horror staring at those flying daggers.


    In the next moment, she was being dragged by her hair out of the room but before Machu reached the door, Dai Yu suddenly said, "Are you afraid to do it in front of us because you think she would be Mingxia version 2.0?"


    "No," said Machu with a mobile expression. He had already lost face with Mingxia and didn''t want to lose face again, not in front of Dai Yu. He would go deaf from her taunts and mockery.


    "Okay, then you don''t mind if we tag along," she said taking Shao Lan''s hand as she followed after Machu. Shao Lan felt his face heat up nkly staring at his wrist that was wrapped by a warm delicate hand. If this wasn''t heaven then what else could it be?


    Machu fought off the urge to roll his eyes as he tossed the battered Zhao Huangzhi on the ground. Dai Yu wanted them to sit down but there was only one tree stump so she urged Shao Lan to sit down before brazenly sitting on hisp.


    With zero diffedence she said, "Begin," while cosying up against the man''s manhood. Shao Lan gulped with his Adam''s apple bobbing up and down ogling at Dai Yu.


    While Machu was dealing with this typical Instagram couple that likes to unt their happiness to everyone, Qie Ranzhe''s gaze finally parted from Zhao Zhi. He ced his hand on top of Zhao Zhi''s hand that was patting Qie Xieling''s back as he said, "Lin Lin you are suffocating him."


    That is before he stood up to take care of Miyu Ren who looked like he had just been hit by a bus. He was curious why the demon king hadn''t retreated yet considering he had entered this room for a very long time.


    What he didn''t know was that Miyu Ren was immobilized by Qie Xieling''s beam of light that urately struck his acupuncture points. He couldn''t run even if he wanted to.


    It seemed there was something special about Qie Xieling that none of them knew about. The only person who could possibly exin would be the queen but she wasn''t here to answer their questions. As the saying goes greatness plus greatness has a higher probability of producing double greatness which in this case is baby Lin Lin.


    Miyu Ren let out a throaty chuckle with his hand on his abdomen. His movements made the blood on his mouth flow down his chin making him seem like a fragile beauty. Qie Ranzhe naturally didn''t have any kind of feelings for Miyu Ren so he simply unsheathed his sword as he drew closer.


    "Mhm.... how interesting. I guess you win sect leader Qie. Well yed *cough *cough," he said before leaning down to spit out more blood. Miyu Ren seemed resigned to his fate ready to end it all. He had had a good run anyway. "Go ahead while you still can."


    These words had Qie Ranzhe furrowing his brows. His gut felt something was wrong and his gut never let him down. Just as he swung his sword to kill Miyu Ren, the demon king''s body was suddenly dragged to the side with a golden snake appearing on his body coiling around him.


    A woman dressed in a white robe embroidered in gold appeared out of thin air and said, "Sect leader Qie," cupping her hands. She smiled gracefully and carried on, "He is my meal ticket so I can''t let you kill him. I hope you can understand."


    Understand my foot. This brat of a demon king caused a lot of trouble, almost annihted the mortal realm and the yao race so no he couldn''t understand. "I am sure you are well aware of the crimes hemitted so how can I allow you to walk out of here with him fully intact?"


    The gorgeous diety scoffed while nodding her head. "Yes, you will not only allow me to walk out of here with him but you will also help me wrap him up with a red bow for King Yama. Death is too simple for a trouble maker like him. The heavens have alreadypensated you with the heavenly rings and let''s not talk about the ribbons your son is illegally harbouring," she exined before a sweet smile appeared on her face, "I am fairly certain you understand my meaning."


    "Hahaha.... *cough *cough *cough..... do you hear that Qie Ranzhe. I told you to take your shot befo-," said Miyu Ren but he didn''t get to finish his statement because the woman smacked him out cold.


    Qie Ranzhe clenched his fists rather upset but the woman seemed to disregard that. "You have received recognition from the heavens and will have a beautiful pce waiting for you when ascend. Maybe we will be good friends," she said but Qie Ranzhe''s response was rather disappointing.


    "Not interested," he said before turning away from her.


    She shrugged her shoulders and said, "The offer still stands if you change your mind," before cing Miyu Ren on her shoulders. She disappeared immediately leaving no trace behind.


    Qie Ranzhe''s expression softened when his gaze fell on his lover and son who were still locked in a tight embrace. Zhao Zhi had a help me expression on his face trying to separate from Qie Xieling but he wouldn''t let go. Qie Ranzhe felt an indescribable warmth spread across his chest as an involuntary smile crept up his face. He wanted this picture of happiness tost forever which is why he rejected the offer to ascend.


    He could care less about ascending to bing an immortal because his heart was right here with these two. What more could he want? His love was right here and that''s all that mattered.


    Qie Ranzhe walked over and helped Zhao Zhi peel off the big baby which was incredibly difficult. Qie Xieling had just watched his dad get pierced with a sword so it made sense that he would be this clingy.


    "You two are so mean. I still want to hug Shixiong. You can''t hug him because you have blood all over you," heined but it was pointless. He was outnumbered.


    Qie Ranzhe pat his head and said, "How about you go and see what your uncle is doing so I can talk to your Shixiong?"


    Qie Xieling didn''t want to go but judging from his father''s expression this wasn''t a negotiation. If he had known what his father was nning he would have stood his ground and refused to leave.


    Like an obedient child, he walked over to the door but as soon as he turned back around both Zhao Zhi and Qie Ranzhe had vanished into thin air.


    "Damn it!" he cursed kicking the door frame stubbing the same toe for the second time.

 Chapter 476: Fifth World: Never Offend Lin Lin

    Chapter 476: Fifth World: Never Offend Lin Lin


    ''Forgiveness is the best form of love. It takes a strong person to say sorry and an even stronger person to forgive - Ynda Hadid.


    This quote is inspirational but to Qie Xieling''s ear, it was a lot of    and white lotus nonsense right now. He had just been scared out of his wits when his Shixiong was stabbed by Zhao Huangzhi and could have lost him if he hadn''t sessfully tapped into his other half from the yao n.


    He was still so pissed especially after his parents ditched him without notice. This meant when he walked outside he resembled a porcupine with its quills standing up ready to attack. He was both cute and terrifying at the same time.


    The three looked at him when he walked out but found his aura was somewhat off. Thinking he was traumatized by his earlier experience Dai Yu instinctively wanted to hug him. Her little dumpling had never suffered any major grievances despite being so arrogant to outsiders. But now he was forced to go through so much in such a short space of time. There had to be some type of psychological trauma, right?


    She was about to stand up from a certainsomeone''sp when Qie Xieling directly walked over to Zhao Huangzhi. Machu had really done a number on her doing what he should have done to Mingxia. Her entire body was ridden withcerations and the entire floor was covered in blood as she struggled to crawl away.


    Machu seemed like an entirely different person with a smudge of blood on his cheek. It might seem rather cruel but if she had seeded in her n then they would have to endure a lifetime of a ckened Qie Ranzhe and none of them would want that. This should serve as a warning lest someone tries to pull off such a silly stunt ever again.


    Tales of how the most sought afterdy of the Zhao sect attempted to murder sect leader Qie''s wife would spread like wildfire and so would the tales of the consequences of her actions. That ought to deter any brainless buffoon but what Qie Xieling did right after would have everyone jumping into bushes the moment they see Zhao Zhi in the future.


    One might ask why is that? It''s because Qie Xieling crouched down before Zhao Huangzhi glowering at her as though looking at a dead woman. Her face was ashen pale as she had lost a lot of blood. She was barely conscious but recognized Qie Xieling''s figure.


    Stretching out her hand she mumbled something most likely pleading with him to save her but she was asking the wrong person. Qie Xieling''s expression remained cold and aloof which was a big contrast to his usual goofy appearance.


    His cold indifferent gaze swept between the hand that was trying to hold him and Zhao Huangzhi''s face. He grasped her hand and forced it down before saying, "it''s clear to me that you don''t want to live otherwise you wouldn''t have tried to kill the man who gave birth to me in cold blood," in a soft yet menacing voice.


    Zhao Huangzhi could barely make a sound from all the pain but her face showed her reaction clearly. It was the look of surprise, shock and regret but that didn''t move Qie Xieling. He rubbed his chin with his index finger before saying, "I am sure you know the saying an eye for an eye. Naturally, that should tell you something."


    As soon as he said this a me simr to Qie Ranzhe''s appeared on the palm of his hand. It was somewhat smaller than his father''s giving off an illusion of cuteness that one couldn''t resist the urge to say, "Aw." But two secondster the cute me grew thrice in size with the reddish-gold me blended in with a white light creating a marble effect that was both beautiful and terrifying.


    The me reflected in Zhao Huangzhi''s glossy eyes as shepletely broke down. "Don''t worry, I will find your father and make sure he suffers the same fate. It''s his fault anyway for raising a ck-hearted person like you so it''s only right he takes responsibility," he said with a stiff smile before setting her aze.


    This was the most painful punishment because Zhao Huangzhi clearly felt the pain of her flesh being burnt but the torture seemed endless. The ze didn''t kill her for a very long time despite burning her skin ceaselessly.


    Her blood-curdling screams echoed throughout the peak making Dai Yu''s blood run cold. This nephew of hers might seem harmless on the surface but he was just as crazy as his father. Zhao Huangzhi''s body burnt for over two hours without death. Qie Xieling only permitted her to die when he was sure the well deserved punishment had been perfectly executed.


    The oppressive aura surrounding him suddenly disappeared like he had vented out all his grievances. Under everyone''s horrified gazes he returned to his goofy self with a beaming smile.


    "What tha..... are you sure you are okay?" asked Machu cing a hand on his forehead checking if he had a fever or something.


    Qie Xieling replied, "I am fine but you have a little something on your cheek," pointing at Machu''s cheek. The three people had so many questions like how his strength had drastically improved in just a space of a few days or what sort of tonic they gave him in the yao kingdom that changed him this much but they didn''t even get the opportunity to ask because Qie Xieling suddenly walked away.


    Machu wiped off the blood on his cheek and asked, "Where are you going?" following behind.


    Qie Xieling pointed in the direction of the ice cave where the Zhao sect leader was being held. "To fulfil my promise of course," he said as a matter-of-factly before disappearing into Zhao Zhi''s home.


    "Remind me never to offend Xieling," said Shao Lan looking at what remained of Zhao Huangzhi. It was a body outline made of ash and nothing else.


    Dai Yu grasped his chin turning him to face her and said, "Just don''t break my heart and you will be fine."


    Shao Lan looked at her with a serious expression. "That would never happen," he replied with their gazes locked together. With these words said in such a serious tone how could Dai Yu be immune? She had fallen hard and her heart was snatched by Shao Lan in a short amount of time.


    While others were showcasing the dawn of sweet romance others were connecting in an x-rated way in the Qie sect. Maybe it was the thought of almost losing Zhao Zhi or a primal instinct that had Qie Ranzhe so riled up that he just had to kidnap his wife right under his son''s nose.


    Whatever the reason, Wen Qinxi found himself in a hot smutty scene straight from the 80s. To fully understand how hended himself in this situation let''s go back to the moment they vanished.

 Chapter 477: Fifth World: Weird Cocktail Names With A Dash Of NSFW

    Chapter 477: Fifth World: Weird Cocktail Names With A Dash Of NSFW


    It was entirely Qie Ranzhe''s idea from the very beginning. In fact, it wasn''t exactly put through as an idea rather a ''we are going to fuckin do this and we are going to fuckin do this right now''. This left this nerd with no choice but to be dragged into a portal.


    The two appeared at the Qie sect in an instant but instead of appearing at Qie Ranzhe''s Pavillion, they appeared in a secret garden Wen Qinxi had never seen or heard of. At the centre of this secret garden surrounded by lush greenery and cherry blossoms was a clear pool right in the middle sparkling under the rising moon.


    Wen Qinxi''s confusion was clearly written on his face but he didn''t get to ask because Qie Ranzhe volunteered the information upfront. "It''s my secret hideout. I ced a barrier around it and.... not even Lin Lin knows about it," he said as he warmed up the pool with the palm of his hand.


    Wen Qinxi nodded his head in understanding but he hadn''t fully grasped the kind of situation he was in that is until Qie Ranzhe walked over and ripped his robe open without warning. The tearing sound of high-quality material came as a surprise to this nerd that he stammered, "Wha-what are you doing?" all wide-eyed.


    Yes, he was a little slutty in bed and agreed to have his first time doing this and that outdoors in the fourth world but he didn''t intend for it to be a thing. To him, sex on the beach was no longer just a cocktail but something else.


    And no he didn''t want to associate himself with sex in the jungle which is also a cocktail name by the way. Though he already associated blow job shots, sex on my face and tie me to the bedpost with something else other than cocktails. Speaking of this, do bartenders name these cocktails when they''re drunk? That would totally make sense.


    Wen Qinxi was brought back to earth when Qie Ranzhe''s fingers traced the healed wound on his abdomen. The tingling sensation had him chuckling as he took a step back but Qie Ranzhe''s heart was hurting.


    Though it had healedpletely the battle scar remained on his supple smooth skin serving as a reminder of today''s events. Qie Ranzhe crouched down without warning and kissed the scar with his hand loosening whatever was remaining of Zhao Zhi''s robe. Wen Qinxi''s heart jolted looking down at the man who was kissing his abdomen with a glint of obsession in his eyes.


    Wen Qinxi ced his hand on Qie Ranzhe''s cheek with his head leaned back fully indulging in this lustful scene. But just as he got into it disregarding their environment, Qie Ranzhe slowly rose back up with a pinky finger distance between them.


    He looked down at Zhao Zhi as he was a head taller and stroked his cheek. "You and I will live together..... and when we die we will die together. Do you have any problem with that?" he said with those enchanting eyes drawing this nerd into agreeing with anything. If Qie Ranzhe was to ask him to drink poison right now he would most likely agree with no hesitation.


    "I love you," blurted out Wen Qinxi entranced by Qie Ranzhe''s heaven-defying good looks. His heart pounded hard against his chest when he saw Qie Ranzhe slowly lean down for a kiss.


    When their lips touched it was like a bunch of fireworks were set off lighting the dark skies.


    Wen Qinxi didn''t care for the metallic smell of blood on Qie Ranzhe''s body wrapping his arms around the man''s neck deepening the kiss. This was what he had been missing in his life. Just a taste was enough to get him addicted which left him wanting more.


    Well, he might have just dipped a toe but he unknowingly started something that he couldn''t back out of. What began as a gentle kiss expressing true love transformed into something fiery with Qie Ranzhe shedding off his clothes in a frenzy.


    Wen Qinxi was lost in a sea of passion that he didn''t realise what was happening. By the time he caught up, Qie Ranzhe had already picked him up with his legs wound around the sect leader''s steady waist. Afraid he might fall off Wen Qinxi tightly wrapped his hands around Qie Ranzhe''s neck that is when he felt something hard poke at his chrysanthemum.


    Wen Qinxi, "....."


    Qie Ranzhe was already in his birthday suit with his big hands on Wen Qinxi''s perky butt. To distract his lover he kept kissing him but Wen Qinxi was already enlightened.


    "Wait.... mhm... I, mn....," he said but with each word his red lips were sealed as though silencing him. Wen Qinxi ced both his hands on Qie Ranzhe''s chest creating some distance between them. It was only then he got the chance to say a full sentence.


    "I thought we are going to bath only then end this show in the bedroom?" said Wen Qinxi realising that all he had left on was his pants. This situation was incredibly dangerous for someone''s chrysanthemum.


    Qie Ranzhe buried his head in the crevice of Zhao Zhi''s neck and sucked hard on it leaving behind a pretty deep red hickey that closely resembled the cherry blossom petals surrounding them.


    "I never said that," replied Qie Ranzhe with his hair tickling Wen Qinxi''s skin. He was about to protest when he was carried into the warm pool. Qie Ranzhe steadied Zhao Zhi''s body against the wall of the pool as the steam rose to conceal what the two figures in the pool were doing.


    His curious hand caressed Zhao Zhi''s leg feeling the pants were a big inconvenience. "Take it off," he whispered kissing Zhao Zhi''s neck while grinding against him with his arousal. Wen Qinxi also wanted to take it off but Qie Ranzhe was pressing him against the wall reluctant to let him go.


    "Mn... ah, ah.... but... you have to let me, let me go first," replied Wen Qinxi with his head tilted back exposing his neck as though begging to be eaten clean. His hand was touching Qie Ranzhe''s hair drawing him closer while he was saying this. He was running through it with his fingers enjoying the silky texture that felt good in between his fingers.


    Qie Ranzhe kissed his lover''s Adam''s apple unwilling to let go but if he wanted to graduate from second base to third base, he had to let go. Wen Qinxi was suddenly put down and Qie Ranzhe pulled down his pants before picking him back up again in a hurry. The feeling of having their skin rub against each other almost drove Qie Ranzhe insane.


    Which left him wondering why this man had such a stronghold on him? Let''s answer that for him. It''s because he''s in.....

 Chapter 478: Fifth World: NSFW

    Chapter 478: Fifth World: NSFW


    Driven to madness Qie Ranzhe stuck to Zhao Zhi''s body with his right arm holding the man in ce. His left hand slid up from Zhao Zhi''s neck up to his cheek in a gentle stroke with their tongues entangled with each other in an erotic dance.


    A minefield exploded throughout Qie Ranzhe''s nervous system as waves of pleasure spread like ake of moltenva making his body heat up. He was grinding up against Zhao Zhi''s body with his hardness pushing up against the man''s lewd chrysanthemum like he was going to enter and thrust into him in the next second.


    He wanted him. He had never wanted anything this bad especially when this temptation was clinging to him while whining like he had been bullied.


    His moist tongue inched towards Zhao Zhi''s warm lips gently parting them making the man in his arms groan. His tongue swirled inside Zhao Zhi''s mouth in exploration.


    Wen Qinxi was rather enthusiastic gently sucking on Qie Ranzhe''s tongue like eating candy. His actions had major consequences igniting the sensual beast that had been lying dormant for a very long time.


    It was like Qie Ranzhe''s superpower was awakened pressing against the man''s body like an animal in heat. His hand left Zhao Zhi''s cheek sidling down to the man''s chest to invoke another one of his lover''s slutty moans.


    Like a spark igniting fumes, his moan incited Qie Ranzhe to brush against his hard nipple as he parted from the man''s lips to hear him cry out. His hot lips slowly slid down to Zhao Zhi''s neck and sucked on his lover''s skin while his fingers gently squeezed and rubbed the erect pink nipple.


    Wen Qinxi''s body slightly trembled at his touch as he groaned, "Ah, ah..... aa, mhm," coupled with heavy breathing. It was basically game over for this nerd as the sect leader grew brazen licking his neck all the way down to that tantalising nipple that closely resembled a ripe cherry ready for picking.


    His warm tongue brushed against his nipple making Wen Qinxi slide his fingers into Qie Ranzhe''s damp hair drawing him closer as he leaned backwards. He seemed to enjoy it so much that his erection twitched with his precum blending in with the water.


    Qie Ranzhe sucked and licked them with verve till they reddened. He wanted to stop but with Zhao Zhi thirstily grinding against him like he couldn''t get enough he carried on a while longer.


    His arousal pushed up against that hole as he whispered, "Baby, how about we try something new?"


    As soon as these words fell Wen Qinxi suddenly had a bad premonition. Whenever a man says that then it''s either their partner would be ced in weird sexual positions or getting handcuffed.


    Wen Qinxi stroked the man''s hair asking, "What is it?"


    Qie Ranzhe whispered something into his ear making a convincing argument that Wen Qinxi couldn''t bring himself to refuse. Two minutester Wen Qinxi was on his knees about to do something humanly impossible. Just as he was about to go underwater Qie Ranzhe leaned down and kissed his lips before asking, "Can you transform for me, baby?"


    Wen Qinxi, "...."


    Was this the legendary rat strategy where they bite their victims while blowing a cold breeze to ensure they don''t wake up? Well, one thing is for certain. This iceberg was a whole definition of kinky.


    "You sure have a lot of requests, don''t you?" said Wen Qinxi before his long slender legs were enveloped by a white light. Soon after a gorgeous tail shimmering under the moonlight appeared making Qie Ranzhe grin.


    This was a once in a lifetime opportunity so how could he not take advantage of the situation. As long as his lover was willing then why not give it a go.


    "Oh....," he groaned in a husky deep voice as his thought process was disrupted when Zhao Zhi licked the tip of his cock underwater.


    He gathered Zhao Zhi''s wet hair in his hand while watching that merman tail swirl happily underwater. He couldn''t help but drool over his sexy yao but soon his mind went nk as his entire length was buried into Zhao Zhi''s mouth. His hard cock stiffened further as an indescribable sensation overwhelmed him prompting him to close his eyes.


    Wen Qinxi flicked his tongue against Qie Ranzhe''s sensitive member and vaguely heard him cry out, "Ah, baby," in a sexy voice. A sly smile appeared on his face before sliding the hard member in his hot mouth. Qie Ranzhe shuddered as another groan escaped his throat.


    His fingers ran through Zhao Zhi''s hair resisting the urge to plunge deeper into that mouth.


    The secret garden was suddenly filled with the sounds of muffled groans and gasps unable to hold back.


    The squelching sounds of Zhao Zhi''s mouth sliding back and forth on his hard cock and his palpitating heart echoed in his ear driving him mad. The groans grew louder as a floodgate of pleasure erupted leaving him with no restraint.


    His rationality broke as he gripped Zhao Zhi''s hair tightly drawing him closer to his body. His movements turned frantic seeking an outlet for all his pent up desires. "Oh, oh, oh yeah.... baby, ah," he groaned. He felt his softened thighs tense up before his muscles trembled as he inched closer to climax.


    "Ah.... baby..... I am..... ahh... ah," he groaned as he shot his cum right into his lover''s mouth. Panting heavily he picked up Zhao Zhi who immediately transformed back and pressed him against the wall of the pool kissing his lips.


    Wen Qinxi couldn''t help but be pleased with himself with the aftertaste of cum still in his mouth. He wanted to congratte himself for an excellent performance but Qie Ranzhe was already ravishing him like an unsatiated beast.


    The kisses turned frantic as he fondled his lover''s butt while sucking on his lips. The lingering taste of cum in Zhao Zhi''s mouth made him curiously stick his tongue inside his lover''s mouth.


    This kiss was stimting as the desire to fill Zhao Zhi''s chrysanthemum with his hard member grew. The napping dragon didn''t sleep for long waking up sooner than expected eager to drill into that sweet hole.


    Wen Qinxi was taken by surprise when Qie Ranzhe''s arousal started poking at the entrance of his sacred ce.


    "Baby, I want to fuck you," he whispered while nibbling at Zhao Zhi''s ear. Wen Qinxi felt a sense of crisis as a slight stinging pain came from his backside entrance being poked. He pushed back a bit in fear of pain but Qie Ranzhe took out something from his interspatial ring.


    It was a refined pill with a deep red colour reminding Wen Qinxi of the matrix. What? So was the red pill supposed to open him up to a weird world ruled by aliens and the blue pill for him to remain ignorant?


    Qie Ranzhe ced it on his lips and proceeded to kiss Zhao Zhi making him swallow the pill. "It won''t hurt anymore,.... baby let me in," he whispered fondling Zhao Zhi''s waist while rubbing against him looking like he was ready to attack.


    Wen Qinxi was about to say, "They is no such good thing," when he was forced to swallow his words. The pill numbed the pain like anaesthesia but kept the pleasure senses intact.

 Chapter 479: Fifth World: NSFW2

    Chapter 479: Fifth World: NSFW2


    Wen Qinxi leaned in closer and whispered some provocative words in Qie Ranzhe''s ear. "I want you to fuck me hard, daddy Ran," he said deliberately poking the bear.


    Saying such words to Qie Ranzhe meant there would be severe consequences. A sly smile crept up Qie Ranzhe''s face as held his arousal in his hand before pushing it straight into the tight hole. He kept his gaze locked into Zhao Zhi''s eyes making sure he had no difort as that tight hole swallowed his entire length.


    The feeling of filling his lover felt so good that he couldn''t help let out a low grunt. Meeting Qie Ranzhe''s zing passionate gaze, Wen Qinxi''s felt his body heat up with the sound of his heart beating like a drum in his ears. Wen Qinxi held him tightly as he felt a slight difort. Though bearable it was still there making him flinch a little while biting his lower lip.


    Qie Ranzhe slowly withdrew stering his lips on Zhao Zhi''s before thrusting into him once more. A few thrusts in and he had found that sweet spot that had his lover moaning unrestrainedly as he clung tightly to him.


    "Yeah..... ah, right there daddy," was Wen Qinxi''s unadulterated words spoken in a soft tone. Wen Qinxi''s passageway tightened greedily sucking in his lover''s member.


    The sect leader exerted more strength in moving his waist forward making him feel extremely delighted. He could barely control himself thrusting vigorously losing himself to the pleasurable sensation.


    Wen Qinxi''s seductive moans permeated the garden as the water rippled with their movements. A euphoric feeling spread to his limbs as he clung to Qie Ranzhe even tighter thoroughly enjoying being pampered.


    "Ah, do you like it, baby?" asked Qie Ranzhe before kissing his lips with his waist swinging vigorously.


    Wen Qinxi could barely think straight sinking into a sea of insommutable pleasureing from the spot that was constantly being teased by Qie Ranzhe''s hard cock. He could only nod with his waist moving along with Qie Ranzhe''s rhythm.


    Qie Ranzhe''s member hardened further engulfed in the warmth from Zhao Zhi''s sacred ce. His movements became unbridled and scious breathing heavily as he thrust deep into his lover. The muffled sounds of their bodies colliding together and the sshing sounds of water filled the atmosphere creating a blush-inducing scene.


    He became increasingly aggressive with fast-paced deep thrusts faced with Zhao Zhi''s lustful appearance. The slightly pink skin, misty eyes and vague gruntsing from his lover made him want to bully him even more.


    Another hard thrust on that sensitive spot had Wen Qinxi''s muscles tighten as an overwhelming pleasure spread all over his body. His chrysanthemum tightly enveloped Qie Ranzhe''s cock as though sucking his entire soul out of him. His thighs grasped Qie Ranzhe''s waist tightly as he fully indulged in the pinnacle of his pleasure directly shooting his cum into the water.


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t give him a chance to recover cing him down before turning him around to face the wall. With a loud pa sound, Qie Ranzhe smacked Zhao Zhi''s butt earning him a re.


    To be fair the pill had made it nearly impossible to feel the pain but When Qinxi was certain that if he let this go Qie Ranzhe will get addicted to smacking his ass with no guarantee that it would be painless.


    Qie Ranzhe''s hands slid up Zhao Zhi''s chest from behind caressing those tight muscles with great interest. He kissed Zhao Zhi''s neck coaxing him with his fingers fondling the man''s nipples.


    Wen Qinxi couldn''t keep ring under such provocation and soon forgot about the smacking incident overtaken by pleasure.


    Qie Ranzhe''s hand stroked Zhao Zhi''s neck urging him to lean backwards as he thrust his cock inside. "I love you," he whispered in Zhao Zhi''s ear as the urgency in his thrusts increased. "You can only belong to me... Zhi, call me daddy," in a low maic voice that could easily entice him into selling his soul.


    "Daddy..... oh.... fuck me harder daddy," he said with his body being jostled buy Qie Ranzhe''s movements. At the mention of the word daddy, Qie Ranzhe lost it plundering his lover like a ravenous beast that had been starved for decades.


    The two messed around in the pool till Qie Ranzhe climaxed shooting his cum into Zhao Zhi''s tight hole. Feeling satiated he happily cleaned his lover up before carrying him back to his Pavilion. Even as they headed to the pavilion, Wen Qinxi wasn''t safe with the sect leader groping his butt or kissing him in unmentionable ces in a public space.


    He wasn''t safe outside so one can only imagine what would happen indoors. Wen Qinxi''s biggest mistake was changing his robe in front of Qie Ranzhe.


    His first question was, "Are you seducing me?" and despite Wen Qinxi''s countless denial, Qie Ranzhe approached him from behind and started undressing the inner garment he had just put on.


    "I prefer you sleep naked," said Qie Ranzhe with a straight face as though what he was saying was a serious matter, "you know for.... easy ess." He said thest part tossing the top garment away before sucking his neck leaving another one of his infamous hickeys.


    Watching their lustful figures in the bronze mirror ahead, Wen Qinxi couldn''t help but get hard. Now he understood why some rich people have mirrors above their beds. It''s to watch themselves have sex which is incredibly hot.


    One can only deduce what happened next. To these two coitus equalled breathing. When they did it they did it so much only stopping when one of them cked out in exhaustion and that person is always Wen Qinxi. How could a nerd like him keep up with that stamina?


    Three hourster the two slept naked in each other''s arms with the moonlight seeping through the windows. The room was incredibly peaceful with only the sound of low breathinging from the two of them.


    That is until a strong breeze came in through the window as a floating figure of a woman d in a red silk dress entered their room rousing Qie Ranzhe from his sleep. Heimmediately summoned ck cmity to protect Zhao Zhi but he found he was frozen in ce.


    The figure slowly approached the canopy bed like a sinister spirit hungry for their souls. Under the candlelight, the figure''s face was suddenly revealed. It was none other than Zhao Huangzhi standing right in front of him in the flesh.


    His first thought was that Machu had failed to take care of her but he soon discovered something was off. This Zhao Huangzhi was somewhat differentpared to before. But he didn''t care if she was an alien from outer space. All he knew is that he had to deal with her.


    "Ran-ge..... you are doing this again? Don''t you care about your mother at all?.... How about the Qie family?..... Don''t you care what this will do to them? Didn''t we talk about this before? You can''t, you can''t be with him. I won''t let you," she said with a look of concern on her face.


    She looked around and her sullen expression changed when she saw the sheathed sword which gave Qie Ranzhe a bad premonition.


    "Since you won''t listen to me then I will just kill him so I can finally make you normal again. Believe me, it''s for your own good."

 Chapter 480: Perverted System

    Chapter 480: Perverted System


    What is the definition of fear? Fear is defined as an unpleasant emotion that stems from perceived threat or danger. The symptoms of which are chest pain, chills, shortness of breath, rapid heartbeat, etc which Qie Ranzhe was currently experiencing right now.


    He was the very definition of fear as he helplessly watched his own sword descend upon his lover. He tried to move. He tried to talk but he couldn''t. It was as though his body had turned into a heavily fortified prison with no means of escape.


    The horror in his eyes was apparent as he continued struggling. "Baby, wake up. Please, wake up baby," were the words he wanted to say but couldn''t. Zhao Zhi was sleeping like the dead with no vignce whatsoever.


    As the sword inched closer and closer cold sweats appeared on his forehead gazing upon the perpetrator with dark menacing eyes but Zhao Huangzhi was cold and unfeeling. She was like the grim reaper determined to harvest a soul tonight. No amount of ring or glowering could dissuade her.


    She thrust the sword into Zhao Zhi''s torso making Qie Ranzhe''s heart stop as a tear rolled down at the corner of his reddened eye. He was mute externally but internally he was screaming. It was like been torn into a million pieces with no means to retaliate.


    "It''s all for your own good!" she said as Zhao Zhi''s blood sttered on her fingers with nails painted in bloody red nail polish.


    While this was happening, in GameX it was like a warzone with Machu dashing over in a panic. He had been staying at GameX ever since gship was invaded and they could no longer have contact with Wen Qinxi in the game.


    He had just managed to ce his head on his pillow after a busy day at his practice when he received a frantic call from the gaming room. Qie Ranzhe''s vital signs monitor was suddenly tlining despite having had no major incident in the past.


    Machu entered the game room only to find his medical intern trying to calmly perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation.


    "Move over," he said as he resumed chestpressions while the intern grabbed a manual resuscitation bag and ced the mask over Qie Ranzhe''s open mouth.


    While Machu was fighting to bring him back to life, Zhao Huangzhi wasn''t certain if her goal was achieved so she stabbed Zhao Zhi again and again and again till the entire bed was soaked in a pool of blood. Her victim on the other hand didn''t even move even when he was stabbed the first time. It was like he was sedated and couldn''t feel a thing.


    Qie Ranzhe was emotionally distraught stuck in a nightmare that he couldn''t wake up from. That''s when it hit him. Zhao Huangzhi was dead so this must be a nightmare, right? All he had to do was wake up and everything would be fine. Everything would be as it should be or so he thought.


    He took onest glimpse of Zhao Zhi as he said to himself, "When I wake up everything would be back to normal. This is only just a dream," before closing his eyes. Darkness fell upon him as he fell into an unconscious state.


    Machu heaved a sigh of relief with Qie Ranzhe''s pulse restored. It was at that time that the ambnce arrived and transported Qie Ranzhe to the nearest hospital. It was a good thing this entire thing happened at night otherwise his friend would be tomorrow''s headline which could negatively impact GameX.


    "Watch him," he said to his medical intern talking about Wen Qinxi who was lying in the other gaming capsule. His vitals were stable and they didn''t dare move him just in case it worsened the situation.


    Wen Qinxi fell asleep for two days straight under constant monitoring and the first time he regained consciousness, he was in gship''s main game menu with his character rotating on a tform.


    He was still in a daze rubbing his eyes as he tried to figure out where he was. A dull acheing from his waist had him crouching down as he called out to the system. "Jolie, what happened? I, I don''t..... I don''t remember what happened," he said before recalling thest thing he didst night.


    "Fuck!" he swore covering his key parts when he remembered he was naked before he slept.


    "Hahaha.... no need to cover up. I already saw everything for two fucking days. Oh, my pure virgin eyes. You have to take responsibility," said the system before appearing like a little loli covering her eyes with her hand while peeking at the same time.


    "You know you are a fuckin pervert, right? Now open inventory I need to get dressed," he said wondering how on earth he ended up with such a perverted AI.


    The system silently opened the inventorypletely neglecting to tell Wen Qinxi that he can finally log out of the game. Wen Qinxi took out a blue robe and wore it before finally asking the right question.


    "Why am I here? What about Qie Ranzhe, where is he?" he asked while tying his belt.


    "There is some good news and some bad news. Which one would you like to hear first?" asked the system tilting its head like a cute little girl creeping Wen Qinxi out. He most certainly needs to change Jolie''s appearance once he gets out of here otherwise he would end up having nightmares.


    "Start with the bad," he said fixing his wrist braces with a wan expression. He didn''t know what to expect as this situation had never happened to him before.


    "Well, Zhao Huangzhi killed you in your sleep," said the system before acting out what she did, "she was like die, die, die! With bloody eyes and foaming out her mouth. You should have seen it. It was so gory that it even frightened this system and I like horror movies. Can you believe that? And guess what....."


    The system deliberately paused waiting for him to say what but Wen Qinxi hadn''t caught up yet watching the system in vexation. An awkward silence permeated the air with the two staring at each other without blinking.


    "Go on," said Wen Qinxi wondering why the system stopped talking.


    "That''s not right. You are supposed to say ''what'' then I continue," said the system with its tiny hand on its waist.


    Wen Qinxi, "Oh my god, is that even important right now?"


    System, "Yes! It''s for dramatic effect. Would it kill you if you just say ''what''?"


    Wen Qinxi massaged his temples as he sighed lightly. "Fine..... What? Happy now?"


    "Well, yes. Of course, I am happy. Anyway, she used ck cmity to finish you off and then you appeared here so.... yah. That''s it," said the system with the words ''praise me'' written all over its face.


    Wen Qinxi, "....."

 Chapter 481: A Grown Man Afraid Of An Injection

    Chapter 481: A Grown Man Afraid Of An Injection


    "You are deliberately screwing with me right?..... Fine, what''s the good news?" He said wondering if he had to start the fifth world all over again.


    "Oh that. You can get out now," said the system tapping its tiny chin.


    For once he felt like strangling the system. Okay, this wasn''t the first time he thought about it. It''s just that this was the first time he was truly going to do it. The only problem was that the system''s appearance was that of a little girl which would make him look bad if he did strangle it no matter how you looked at it.


    This should have been the first thing the system said when he woke up but they had to go through such a roundabout way to get to this conclusion.


    "And Qie Ranzhe?" he asked impatiently.


    A beaming smile appeared on its face celebrating its freedom. The stifling feeling it felt ever since Qie Ranzhe took over itswork was finally gone. So yes, today was the system''s Independence Day. "He left gship in a rather grand manner, by the way. He had first responders escorting him out of the game room. It was so dramati-...."


    "Initiate log out sequence like right now," said Wen Qinxi feeling a tightness in his chest. He was wrong earlier. This should have been the first thing the system said as soon as he woke up. He had to get out of here and check on Qie Ranzhe but what he didn''t know is that he had been out for two days. To him, it had only been a few hours since hest saw Qie Ranzhe.


    The system wanted to let him know Qie Ranzhe was alright which is why it had thisx attitude but judging from Wen Qinxi''s reaction right now it would get skinned alive if it so much as breathed loudly. Well, that''s not right. Can an AI even breathe?


    As soon as Joliepleted the logout sequence, Wen Qinxi quickly took off the IV needle stuck in his arm and opened the gaming capsule before stepping out. But as soon as his feet touched the ground his knees softened followed by a loud thud.


    "Ah.... shit," he swore unable to pick himself up. He found his limbs were numb with a prickling feeling which was a side effect of lying down for so long.


    This incident was witnessed by the medical intern, Hei Bao and Xia Bai through the see-through ss walls. They would have found this fallical if it was any other day but after the emergency two days ago they couldn''t find it funny. The three of them soon crowded the room helping him up while the medical intern prepared an injection.


    "Qi-ge, you know you shouldn''t immediately walk aftering out of the game. What''s the hurry?" said Hei Bao looking as cute as ever when concerned about someone.


    "Go call Danzhe and I will handle this," said Xia Bai after they ced Wen Qinxi inside the gaming capsule.


    Wen Qinxi was closing his eyes feeling disoriented. He was a little unresponsive with a throbbing headache. "Where is Ran-ge?" he asked but because his eyes were still closed he didn''t see the people''s reactions.


    The two of them had their mouths agape wondering if this nerd had a death wish. The only person who could call Qie Ranzhe that without dying would be Machu and even he had to select the right moment otherwise he might get his head bit off.


    "Ahem.... he um, he is at the central hospital but he is doing fine. It''s nothing to worry about. You can go visit him after I administer this," replied the intern while holding an injection.


    When Wen Qinxi heard the word administer, his eyes abruptly opened only to be met by a long needle that was inching closer to his arm. "What tha fuck," he swore moving as far away as possible from that needle while covering his vulnerable arm.


    Even the IV fluid had to be connected after he was in the game because of his inherent fear yet this person was brazen enough to show him that.


    While Xia Bai was holding him down and the medical intern attempting to calm this grown man, Hei Bao was having a hard to describe conversation with Wen Danzhe. He patiently waited with the ring tone echoing through his wireless earbuds.


    It was then that he turned around and saw the struggle happening in the ss room. He couldn''t hear anything because of his earbuds which made the scene rather interesting without sound. He was about to walk over and officially join the peanut gallery when Wen Danzhe picked up the call.


    "Hie Dan-ge, We-," he said but he was cut off.


    "But you are older than me," said Wen Danzhe before sipping through the straw of his juice box which was a gift from a girl of course. He was on campus surrounded by a group of junior sisters from his faculty. This was meant to be a tutoring session but it had turned into a fan club meet up with their idol.


    Hei Bao didn''t want to call him that but the few times Wen Danzhe came to the game room he was too imposing that one would think he was older than them. "What would you like me to call you then? Didi?" said Hei Baopletely missing the reason why he called in the first ce.


    "Yeah sure, if you want me to break your legs," replied Wen Danzhe smirking at one of the girls with his devilishly handsome face. From this one could tell the two brothers were pr opposites in terms of personality.


    "You...," replied Hei Bao before someone took off one of his earbuds.


    Xia Bai had already finished dealing with the scaredy-cat who didn''t want to get an injection when he found Hei Bao still talking on the phone. He immediately knew that Wen Danzhe was screwing with Hei Bao so he chimed in.


    "Stop scaring him ande pick up your brother," said Xia Bai with his arm sliding across Hei Bao''s waist before pulling him closer.


    Wen Danzhe''s smile froze at his words. He pushed the juice box into one of the girls'' hands before walking away. "Is he fine?" he asked while ordering a ride on an app.


    "Mn," replied Xia Bai before cutting the call. He stroked Hei Bao''s hair before giving him back his earbud. "Just call me if he gives you a hard time, okay?" said Xia Bai with a sweet smile on his face as he walked away.

 Chapter 482: Ninety Nine Roses

    Chapter 482: Ny Nine Roses


    Siblings are our aplices in crime gifted to us by the heavens. The first childhood friend that you get into all sorts of mischief with and share unique family jokes. This epassed how Wen Danzhe felt about his brother.


    These pair of siblings had been each other support throughout their entire lives. Their rtionship could be described as that of best friends who grew up under the same roof. Their personalities were different but theyplemented each other so much that left others envious.


    Because of their personality differences, Wen Danzhe was a little protective of Wen Qinxi. Even in elementary school, it was Wen Danzhe who beat up anyone who dared mess with his brother that some people began to question who was the eldest between them and the height difference didn''t help the situation.


    So when Wen Qinxi decided to do this, Wen Danzhe greatly opposed it but his older brother insisted and he couldn''t do anything to change his mind. The only way he could protect his older brother was by bing a nuisance at GameX.


    When his brother lost contact in gship he woulde over and just sit next to his gaming capsule while ying games on his cellphone.


    One can only imagine his reaction when he found out his brother was awake. He even tipped the hired driver extra so he could drive faster. Once he arrived at GameX he ran into the building with his fluffy hair bouncing with the breeze from the aircon.


    The receptionist had seen him a couple of times but she hadn''t gotten used to this handsome didi who had kissable wide lips. She shyly tucked her stray strands behind her reddened ear while asking, "You are here to see Mr Xia? He said you cane through."


    If it was any other day he would chat her up but today there was an emergency. "Thanks," he said before dashing over to the elevator. The receptionist''s gaze followed his figure till he disappeared into the elevator.


    She took out her cellphone and sent a hot guy alert emoji on WeChat to her group of colleagues with a radiant smile. Such was the tradition. Work sisters had to de-stress by pleasing their eyes and such good things had to be shared.


    Wen Danzhe stood in the elevator feeling rather anxious. He wished the elevator could go faster than it normally does each time hees here but that was only wishful thinking. The elevator stopped five times and each time pairs or trio groups of women walked in each shyly greeting him.


    He wasn''t aware that he was being sabotaged each time he came here. They were chuckling as they stood behind him and one or two brave souls took pictures. Normally he would strike a conversation but today he was rather impatient that as soon as the elevator reached the gaming room floor he rushed out without looking back breaking the hearts of thedies enjoying the view.


    The door slid open and he strode in asking, "Where is he?" but his steps paused when he saw what these two nerds were doing. Xia Bai was massaging Hei Bao''s shoulders with a strange look on his face. This would have been ssified as innocent but the sounds Hei Bao was making reminded him of something rather obscene.


    "Uh huh.... a little harder.... yah just like that. Uh huh, ah..... that feels so good..... Ah," were the soundsing out of Hei Bao''s throat that warranted this expression,


    "....." on Wen Danzhe''s face.


    Xia Bai covered Hei Bao''s mouth and said, "He is in there," with an expression as dark as the dark side of the moon. If he had known this little flirt would make such sounds from a simple massage he wouldn''t have volunteered his services. Well, at least not here.


    Wen Danzhe gave them a long nce over with a look of fascination before entering the ss room. But his heart sank when he couldn''t find Wen Qinxi. He walked back out and said, "He is not in there."


    The two people who were meant to be watching Wen Qinxi looked at each other with a look of surprise. "He was in there a minute ago unless....," replied Hei Bao as he swung the swivel chair he was sitting in to look in Wen Danzhe''s direction.


    "He snuck out while I went to buy you snacks, didn''t he?" asked Xia Bai staring at Hei Bao. Hei Bao must have been in his earbuds that he didn''t hear Wen Qinxi stealthily walk out of the room.


    As to where Wen Qinxi was? Even a toddler can guess his whereabouts. He grabbed his cellphone and casually messaged Machu asking for details. This half-asleep doctor shared all the details without much thought thus Wen Qinxi went hunting for his man like a stalkerish wife.


    He wore a mask and a baseball cap all taken from Hei Bao''sptop bag which meant his coworkers couldn''t identify him as he left GameX. Everything seemed to go ording to n that is until he got to the hospital. Qie Ranzhe''s room was on a private floor refusing ess to unauthorized personnel and he was one of those unauthorized persons.


    Wen Qinxi sneered as he left the front desk. He should have been the first on the list of authorized personnel yet he wasn''t even an afterthought. He had to figure out another way to get into that room so he hung around a little longer looking for the right opportunity.


    Thirty minutester and the right opportunity arose. He spotted a delivery man walk to the front desk with a flower bouquet. As soon as the man ced them on the countertop to take out the machine to get the nurse''s signature, he swiped them and left a stack of banknotes before he vanished like a thief in the night.


    By the time the delivery driver noticed it was already toote. He had been robbed by a polite thief. Well, that''s not right because he had paid for the flowers plus a generous tip so maybe there should be another name for this kind of person.


    Wen Qinxi slipped into the elevator with the big bunch of ny-nine red roses covering his face. The elevator was about to close when he noticed an old granny trying to catch the elevator. He blocked the door with his foot and the doors reopened as he helped the granny enter the elevator.


    "Thank you, my child," she said with a sweet smile.


    Wen Qinxi nod his head and asked her which floor before pressing the button. The old granny was so touched so she asked, "Those for your girlfriend?"


    Wen Qinxi, "....."


    How was he supposed to respond to that? ''No, I stole these flowers to get into my boss sh boyfriend''s room?'' Naturally, he couldn''t say that otherwise she might get a heart attack and die because of him.


    "Um no. It''s, it''s a delivery," he said looking rather timid.

 Chapter 483: The Worst Heartbreak

    Chapter 483: The Worst Heartbreak


    This old granny wasn''t born yesterday and she could tell when a man is in love. She had been married for seventy four years and had a lot of experience. "You are a nice young man and I am sure she will ept your pursuit soon enough. Just don''t give up," she said patting his arm with her soft trembling hand.


    The granny''s assumption of Wen Qinxi''s had changed from having a girlfriend to the pursuit of love based on his reaction. She wasn''t wrong. It was most definitely the pursuit of love. Wen Qinxi bowed his head slightly with a smile under his mask.


    Right then the elevator door opened as they had reached the granny''s floor. Wen Qinxi helped her out of the elevator up to the hospital room she was going to.


    "By the way, you need a new haircut. That will surely have her heart thumping. Trust me," she said with a wink.


    Wen Qinxi chuckled lightly epting her advice. His hair had grown past his ears in the past few months. He also had a stubble on his chin but because he wanted to see Qie Ranzhe with his own eyes he didn''t have time to take care of it. "I will get one right after. Thank you," he replied as they entered the hospital room.


    Just as they entered the room an old man''s quivering voice was heard. He had seen the roses and couldn''t help but scold his wife for wasting money. "Fey-er, why buy useless things? Can I eat that?" said the old man sitting up straight. He might appear grumpy but the light in his eyes sold him out. He was happy to see her.


    "There aren''t for you anyway. They are for his future girlfriend.... this is for you," she said cing a bento on the side table as Wen Qinxi helped her sit down on the couch nearby.


    The old man scoffed looking at Wen Qinxi and said, "Future girlfriend? Humph! Let me tell you. All you need is to convince them to sleep with you once and trap them with a baby. How do you think I got her?"


    Wen Qinxi, "...."


    "Oh god, Old Lu you must have lost your damn mind," she said marking the beginning of a lover''s squabble stuffing this nerd with dog food.


    She tried to put up a fight but when the old man said, "I know you liked it so much that you couldn''t leave," Wen Qinxi knew he had to get out of there fast.


    He politely bid them farewell and ran out of there like his ass was on fire. He faintly heard her say, "You scared him away. I had plenty of advice for him," but he would rather leave now before he got a sugar overdose from their sweetness.


    Wen Qinxi was still entranced by the couple''s seventy-four-year-old romance when he arrived on Qie Ranzhe''s floor. He was immediately stopped as soon as he stepped foot out of the elevator by a brawny bodyguard.


    There weren''t only one but two more standing a bit further making Wen Qinxi''s heart jolt in fright. He couldn''t understand why one person would need this much security. "I, it''s a delivery," he spoke hesitantly with the bodyguard''s hand on his arm preventing him from moving further.


    The bodyguard frisked him before saying, "I will ask first, wait here."


    The bodyguard walked over to the door and spoke to someone beforeing back. "ce them there," he said pointing at the side table in the waiting area. The table was right opposite the door so Wen Qinxi could at least take a glimpse of him. He was hoping Qie Ranzhe would ask him toe in when he saw him.


    He ced the flowers down and slowly turned his head with his heartbeat elerated. But all his hopes and expectations came crashing down shattering to pieces when his gaze fell into the room.


    Sure, Qie Ranzhe was there but a female figure was towering above him leaning down for what could only be described as a tender kiss. Wen Qinxi''s chest tightened as he abruptly looked away. His eyes stung so much that he had to shut them otherwise he would cry in front of strangers.


    He turned to leave identally knocking off another vase of flowers that was also on the table. The bodyguard scowled as Wen Qinxi apologized picking up the vase. The sound naturally attracted the woman as she walked out of the ward.


    Unwilling to face Zhao Huangzhi right now, Wen Qinxi said, "Sorry, I am so sorry," before walking away in strides.


    "Clean this up," said Zhao Huangzhi to the bodyguard before walking back to carry on with what she was doing. She leaned down hoping to take advantage of Qie Ranzhe by stealing a kiss while he was asleep.


    She had been waiting for this exact moment for the past few months. If only she hadn''t listened to her father they wouldn''t have broken up. These past months she had done a lot of thinking realising what she had lost. This was her attempt to get her lover back.


    But right before their lips touched, Qie Ranzhe''s eyes suddenly opened before pushing her away. "What are you doing?" he asked with a look of alienation on his face.


    While Zhao Huangzhi was been questioned, Wen Qinxi was sitting in the stairwell trying to calm himself down. He was so emotional that he couldn''t hold back his tears with reddened eyes. He should have expected as much but he stupidly believed in fairytales.


    He felt like a filthy old dishrag tossed in the garbage after being used. He had emotionally prepared himself for that possibility but it still hurt so much. The pain he was feeling was hard to describe.


    He brushed his hair back with his elbows on his knees trying to stop the tears. He still had to go to his apartment and couldn''t leave looking like this. People would know he cried and people''s attention was thest thing he needed.


    Just as he tried to regain hisposure his cellphone rang. He didn''t even need to look at the screen to know who it was. His brother was probably looking for him. Wen Qinxi cleared his throat wiping his eyes in the process and picked up the call. "Hello," he said in a hoarse voice.


    Wen Danzhe''s steps paused as he squeezed his cellphone tightly till his knuckles turned white. He didn''t need a psychic to tell him what was going on. "Where are you?" asked Wen Danzhe increasing his pace. He swore he was going to kill Qie Ranzhe the next time he saw him.


    Wen Qinxi cleared his throat once more and said, "I will meet you outside the hospital. Just, just wait for me outside," before cutting the call.


    "Hello, hello, dage..... shit," he swore when he realised his brother had cut the call, "I am going to fuckin kill that bastard."

 Chapter 484: The Benefactor And Pervert Also First Love

    Chapter 484: The Benefactor And Pervert Also First Love


    The thought ''pretend during the day, break inside at night'' echoed in Wen Qinxi''s mind as he climbed down the stairs in heavy footsteps. He used his long hair to cover up his bloodshot eyes and the mask hid his flushed cheeks. Though he hid his face from the world, at a nce one could clearly see something was weighing him down.


    He pushed the emergency door open on the ground floor and walked slowly out of the hospital with his head lowered. He was stuck in his own world that he didn''t see Machu walking alongside Qie Ranzhe''s mother, Dai Yu and Shao Lan towards the elevator.


    Machu naturally noticed him but the aura surrounding Wen Qinxi was so heavy that he couldn''t bring himself to talk to him. Deciding to discuss it with Qie Ranzhe he moved on half-listening to the conversation between the three.


    Wen Qinxi exited the hospital and stood in a deserted corner along the pavement. His eyes stung so much but he sucked back those tears as much as he could. He hadn''t stood there for long when a hand suddenly wrapped around his shoulders.


    "Let''s go," said Wen Danzhe through gritted teeth. He ced Wen Qinxi''s head on his shoulder and pulled him along to the hired car. The two brothers were silent the entire time with Wen Danzhe patting his brother''s shoulder letting him know he was here for him.


    While Wen Danzhe was cleaning up Qie Ranzhe''s mess, Qie Ranzhe was being embraced by his mother to the point of suffocation. Her tears had already soaked his hospital gown but he couldn''t bring himself to stop her. He was her only child so it made sense she would be this distraught.


    Qie Ranzhe thought this hug would go on for an hour that is until his mother''s attention was grasped by Dai Yu sitting on her husband''sp disregarding the environment. That had Dai Lee (her maiden name) let go of her son and change target.


    "Super, you are in public for heaven sake. Go home if you want to do such things," she chastised her niece but her scolding went in through one ear and out the next.


    Dai Yu smirked cosying up on Shao Lan''sp and said, "Hisp is the onlyfortable seat in this room. Ran-ge, do you have a problem with it?" feeling rather smug.


    Qie Ranzhe just shook his head unwilling to involve himself in their business. He wanted to have a private discussion with Machu and pry out some information from him.


    Thest thing he remembered was him entering gship to run a trial. He might be the CEO but he prefered a hands-on strategy. He trusted his subordinates as he only hired the best of the best but who would have thought that he would wake up a couple of monthster.


    He had invested a lot of funds into gship for it to fail. This is why he was anxious to know what was going on. If it were up to him he would have gone to work already and arranged ast-minute progress meeting.


    After much struggle he finally got the three to leave the hospital and once they were gone he began to interrogate Machu on the past months'' events. "What happened to me?" he asked as Machu poured out some water into two sses for the both of them.


    Machu handed him one of the sses as he exined that Qie Ranzhe got stuck in gship and how they had to send a couple of people in to guide him back.


    "Why didn''t you enter the game then when you are the closest person to me?" asked Qie Ranzhe before taking a huge gulp to quench his dry throat from all the talking earlier.


    "You don''t remember I was in Greece around that time? I was attending a Medical and Pharmaceutical conference so I couldn''t get back in time," he exined feeling rather grateful that he wasn''t the one who got into the game otherwise he might have lost his patience in there. Dealing with such a stubborn person there is only one other person in this world that can tolerate it.


    "So who brought me out?" he asked trying his hardest to recall what happened in that game but they were all futile attempts.


    Machu paused with his ss on his lips while carefully observing Qie Ranzhe. He then ced the ss on the side table and chose a roundabout way to approach this. "Did Geckoe up to see you today?" asked Machu staring straight at him not willing to miss any slight change in Qie Ranzhe''s expression.


    As expected Qie Ranzhe''s eyes lit up though his expression remained unchanged. "Why would hee here? I haven''t seen him in years..... Wait, why the hell are you bringing him up?" he said but the pulse oximeter attached to his finger began to show a slight increase in heart rate selling him out.


    Machu scoffed with a throaty chuckle moving his gaze away from his friend''s face. Qie Ranzhe seemed to figure out why he wasughing so he took off the pulse oximeter clipped on his finger. Talk about being sold out by your own body.


    "Okay, then let me ask you this," he said taking out his cellphone. He swiped and tapped on the screen a couple of times before disying Wen Qinxi''s picture and pointed the screen at Qie Ranzhe. "Did this guye by today?" asked Machu with a stern look on his face.


    Qie Ranzhe took the cell phone out of Machu''s hand and examined it closely. It was a picture of a clean face with soft features wearing a sweet smile. His brows creased feeling an overwhelming sense of familiarity but the most recent memory was of this face under his secretary''s desk.


    "It''s the pervert from the research department. Why would hee here? The only person who had the audacity to waltz in here today was Zhao Huangzhi... Which reminds me, how the fuck did she get in here in the first ce?"


    Machu almost facepalmed. This man just called his benefactor a pervert. He didn''t bother responding about Zhao Huangzhi choosing to focus solely on the wronged nerd.


    "Is that the way to talk about your benefactor? Didn''t auntie teach you manners?..... For the past months, it was this guy who endured whatever nonsense your head conjured in gship. You should have been kowtowing before him right now swearing to serve him for the rest of your life. And....," said Machu before a chilling aura directed at him made him stop scolding Qie Ranzhe.


    "Okay, okay.... don''t be mad. I took things too far but seriously you owe him big time," continued Machu ready to deliver the final blow.


    Qie Ranzhe looked at the picture again while zooming it in and said, "I will pay him..... but there is something oddly familiar about him but I can''t.... can''t remember," feeling rather vexed.

 Chapter 485: How A Heartthrob Fell In Love With A Silent Shadow

    Chapter 485: How A Heartthrob Fell In Love With A Silent Shadow


    "That''s because he is Gecko. Why else would your consciousness not kick him out for five worlds straight..... What a fuckin coincidence, right? Your first love came to rescue you and brought you out. What are the odds?" said Machu with a pleased smile on his face?


    He had witnessed with his two eyes as this first crush developed and also witnessed it torn apart. He wondered if Qie Ranzhe would take a step forward this time or backwards like thest time.


    Thankfully, Qie Ranzhe took off the pulse oximeter otherwise it would be beeping at a fast pace broadcasting his reaction to the entire world.


    From the first time he met Wen Qinxi under his secretary''s desk he had an inexplicable sense of familiarity but couldn''t figure it out. Back then Gecko was a pimple-faced teen with braces and thick-framed sses. Even when he looked like that he still dazzled though he was a bit introverted.


    This is why Qie Ranzhe didn''t recognize him at a first nce. "Gecko," he murmured with a subtle smile that couldn''t be noticed easily but Machu didn''t miss it. Machu actually hoped they did end up together but of course, life happened.


    Two hourster Qie Ranzhey in the dim-lit room after making a call to transfer a huge lump sum to Wen Qinxi''s ount as initial payment. He didn''t want to further inconvenience him by dying this. He tried asking Machu what sort of things Wen Qinxi had to do to get him out but Machu refused to divulge the details.


    He could only wait till he was discharged to check out the server and see it himself. For now, he could only lie on his side reminiscing on the past. It was such a rare phenomenon that Wen Qinxi even caught his attention back then.


    In fact, he didn''t even know his real name because everyone including the teachers called him Gecko. He was like an invisible shadow 75% of the time because he kept to himself. Their social circles didn''t intersect apart from sharing a ss.


    This is the story of how a heartthrob fell in love with a silent shadow.


    For a year Qie Ranzhe had never paid attention nor interacted with the boy known as Gecko who sat a few seats ahead of him in ss. If you were to point out Gecko to him and ask him the very next day who is Gecko he wouldn''t remember. That''s how much of an impression Wen Qinxi had on Qie Ranzhe.


    But something big happened after that year for him to finally notice him. That year Qie Ranzhe was sort of dating this girl a ss below theirs named Sying.


    Sying was the one who pursued him but it was for this reason that she felt insecure because Qie Ranzhe wasn''t as into her as she was into him.


    She decided to improve the feelings between them by suddenly hanging around one of her ssmates to make Qie Ranzhe jealous which was a stupid n in itself. Her unfortunate victim was a boy named Mingmei. The name itself told you something was up.


    The true meaning of his name was plum tea because his mother drank a lot of it when she was pregnant only to give birth to a beautiful baby boy that she mistook for a girl when he was born.


    But his name could also be misunderstood as beautiful girl which suited him. Anyway, Sying started hanging out with Mingmei all the time which reached Qie Ranzhe''s ears.


    He decided to pay more attention so he wouldn''t lose face. Soon after he came over to exert his dominance at her ss in the morning. That is until he noticed a unicorn pen she was guarding with her life. She wouldn''t even let him touch it which sparked an unfortunate chain of events.


    Qie Ranzhe found out it was this Mingmei guy who gave it to her.


    Being a hot-blooded teen unwilling to be made to wear a green hat he went after Mingmei. It was around the time that his mother had discovered his father had a mistress outside and they had a child together so he was especially sensitive about that.


    One can guess what sort of fate Mingmei suffered when Qie Ranzhe found him. News broke throughout school that Mingmei got a good beating from Qie Ranzhe reaching Wen Qinxi who liked keeping to himself. This touched his sore spot because he knew this kid Mingmei was just like him, always keeping to himself so how could the kid go after the great buddha''s girlfriend.


    Wen Qinxi hacked this girl''s cellphone and ced the evidence inside Qie Ranzhe''s desk proving Mingmei''s innocence. Not only did she n this out with her group of friends but also took his unicorn pen without permission and pretended it was a gift from Mingmei. So the poor boy suffered beatings from the petty male god for no reason. To make matters worse, he was into guys so why would he go after a girl all of a sudden.


    Qie Ranzhe apologized andpensated Mingmei that is after dumping Sying. But what attracted his attention was the person who uncovered the truth. Curious, he asked Machu to find out who had the capability to hack Sying''s cellphone.


    One can only imagine his reaction when he found out the vignte was the quietest person in their ss. He seemed harmless on the surface but apparently, he had a dark side he was concealing to the rest of the world.


    Gecko had managed to pique his interest that he would asionally nce in his direction whenever he was around. Even Wen Qinxi felt some difference in the air around the ss but he couldn''t figure out the reason.


    Qie Ranzhe''s interest remained stagnant until one weekend when he went camping during the summer holidays to distract himself from the fights at home. He went with Machu, Dai Yu, Shao Lan and Zhao Huangzhi who had just returned from abroad and wanted to hang out with them like old times.


    Whilst sitting on a park bench sipping on a can of iced tea he suddenly noticed the so-called Gecko in the distance. It seemed he had alsoe camping with his family.


    What truly grasped Qie Ranzhe''s attention was how differently he behaved in front of his family. Never in a million years would you think it was the same person.


    He was talking andughing incessantly which waspletely opposite to how he behaved in ss. What gecko? This was clearly a puppy high on caffeine. He watched on as Wen Qinxi opened a bottle of water and snuck upon his brother and poured its contents on his back.


    Wen Qinxi started running with his brother chasing after him while their mother yelled at them holding a frying pan. The nerd''s unrestrainedughter was like a taser jolting Qie Ranzhe''s heart. He suddenly wanted to see that smile again purely out of interest.

 Chapter 486: A Potty Mouthed Nerd

    Chapter 486: A Potty Mouthed Nerd


    Paulo Coelho once said memories are like salt, the right amount brings out the vour in food, too much ruins it. This statement is especially true for both Qie Ranzhe and Wen Qinxi. For Qie Ranzhe it was the former but for Wen Qinxi it was thetter.


    While one was curled up under the covers refusing toe out, another was smiling recalling past memories he shared with his first love.


    His mind lingered on the memory at the campsite where Wen Qinxi drenched his brother with a bottle of ice-cold water before making a break for it. Qie Ranzhe wouldn''t have cared if it was anyone else but this person was the silent Gecko who rarely took the initiative to speak unless spoken to.


    At some point, he thought the teen had taken a vow of silence or something because he barely spoke. Now that very same person was running aroundughing with no care in the world. "Come back here you asshole," were the words Wen Danzhe said performing a mad dash in the campsite.


    "Danzhe, watch yournguage otherwise I will beat you till you can''t remember your freaking name!" was Mama Wen''s response yelling after the two.


    She seemed fed up with them that she frustratedly ced the frying pan on the table nearby while mumbling something.


    She might be disinterested but Qie Ranzhe wasn''t. He followed the two disappearing figures with a curious look in his eyes. He soon met Zhao Huangzhi''s eyes by ident and the girl smiled at him sweetly. He soon forgot about the nerd chatting it up with her.


    That is until when he took a stroll along the river. He saw two people, one in the water and the other standing at the river bank seeming hesitant. The hesitant one was Wen Qinxi. He seemed conflicted about something and Qie Ranzhe soon found out what.


    "What are you afraid of? The water only reaches my knees so what''s your problem?" asked Wen Danzhe urging his brother to jump in but Wen Qinxi wasn''t having it.


    "Don''t rush me..... It reaches your fuckin knees but I am shorter for fuck''s sake. It will probably reach my hips or something. If I fuckin drown I will haunt you," replied Wen Qinxi taking off his T-shirt.


    "If you boys keep using foulnguage in front of me I am going to belt you up. Just because your father left me with you two troublemakers it doesn''t mean you can talk however you like,"ined Mama Wen sitting on a camping chair while fanning herself.


    Qie Ranzhe was stunned at that moment. Not only was this little bunny noisy but he also had a potty mouth, the hardcore kind. This he found rather interesting but not as interesting as the shirtless Wen Qinxi. His slim toned body shone under the beautiful sun causing Qie Ranzhe''s nerves to tighten as he looked away immediately.


    He couldn''tprehend what sort of feeling he was having neither did he have time to think it through because Machu suddenly showed up looking in Wen Qinxi''s direction. "Wait..... is that?" he asked as surprised as Qie Ranzhe was when he saw this version of Wen Qinxi, "No way."


    "What are you guys doing? Let''s go, I want to see the monuments," said Zhao Huangzhi noticing that Qie Ranzhe was looking at that boy again. She didn''tment on it but kept it in her mind as something she had to look out for.


    The two turned to leave as well but Dai Yu didn''t follow. "Who is that hot cutie? Cousin, do you kn-... ouch," she yelped before Qie Ranzhe dragged her away.


    That night Machu was an unfortunate victim of Qie Ranzhe''s experiment. He felt something when he saw the shirtless Gecko and wanted to know if the effect was the same when he looked at Machu.


    They had changed in the same locker room before and after swimming but he had never paid attention to his reaction. They were all men anyway so what was that feeling that made him look away faced by Gecko''s naked top half?


    At that moment, he felt like a pervert taking advantage of a maiden but Gecko wasn''t a maiden. "Take it off..... let me see," he said to Machu in the tent feeling rather impatient.


    "Ran-ge, I haven''t exercised this holiday... I developed a little pouch... Ahhh! Shit!..... Why are you so aggressive?" heined as his t-shirt was taken off in a matter of seconds.


    Machu covered his little pouch feeling rather insecure but Qie Ranzhe had on a nd look. He felt nothing not even a bit of interest.


    "Put it back on," he said before lying in his sleeping bag with a thoughtful gaze. He pushed this thought at the back of his mind but a seedling had already grown roots at that moment.


    Back at school, he moved his basketball training after school and it wasn''t a coincidence that the basketball court was near the pick-up zone. Every day he would see Wen Qinxi waiting for his mother and brother to pick him up after school all so he could catch a glimpse of that fleeting smile again.


    An unhealthy obsession was sprouting that even Machu noticed. He once asked Qie Ranzhe why he didn''t just approach him and ask to be friends. Maybe that way he would lose interest but Qie Ranzhe''s answer had him almost vomit a mouthful of blood.


    "It won''t be as interesting," was his response but what he didn''t realise was that he had caught the attention of Wen Danzhe. He might not have an IQ as high as his older brother''s but his EQ was off the charts. He already began questioning Wen Qinxi who those boys in the basketball court were but Wen Qinxi had no idea.


    He always had his head hung low ying games on his cellphone otherwise when he gets home he won''t have the chance with his helicopter mother hovering above them. This left Wen Danzhe with no choice but to find another source for information and what he learnt made him suspicious.


    Qie Ranzhe wasn''t only hanging around the basketball court watching his brother but had also sneakily infiltrated his clubs which was suspicious in itself. That''s because Wen Qinxi''s clubs were solely designed for nerds yet this male god who had zero interest in technology and manga was behaving like a dedicated club member. He also didn''t forget to drag Machu along as his spokesperson.


    Qie Ranzhe had already concluded that his interest in Gecko was solely because of his chameleon-like personality that changed colours ever so drastically. It was intriguing but his mind took a 180 degree turn when he identally collided with Gecko one morning.

    Wen Qinxi hadn''t been looking where he was going running away from his mother after taking all of her twinkies from her handbag. At that time his mother had developed an unhealthy habit of eating twinkies at any given chance which is why they took turns robbing her.


    They had had enough of her constantly asking them if she had gained weight and when they answered honestly she would call them unfilial. If they lie she would say she didn''t raise liars. So stealing her stash was the only way to go.


    He could still hear her yelling as he dashed into a corner. His hasty actions meant he collided with Qie Ranzhe falling straight into his arms but because his mother wasing into the school grounds he apologized and gave the contraband to Qie Ranzhe before vanishing in an instant.


    Qie Ranzhe was not only left with the contraband but a thumping heart. For a minute he couldn''t calm himself down peering at the packet of twinkies in his hand. He couldn''tprehend what he just felt now. It wasn''t only his heart beating fast but his palms were mmy with his nerves stretched taut.


    He was yet again unable to reorganize his thoughts when ady that resembled Wen Qinxi appeared from the corner. The two seemed startled to see each other but Mama Wen quickly recovered and asked if he knew Wen Qinxi but her voice died down when she saw a twinkie in his hand.


    Her gaze moved from his face to his hand three times contemting whether to ask if that was hers but thinking she didn''t want to embarrass her son she gave up. Anyway, she can settle scores with himter so she said never mind and left.


    Ever since that day, Wen Qinxi felt a piercing gaze boring through his back but whenever he looked back he couldn''t find the person. This gaze didn''t go away, in fact, it intensified one day when he gave away a packet of twinkies he robbed from under the car seat to a girl in his ss. Yes, mama Wen had resorted to hiding her stash under the car seat after being robbed by her two sons.


    While he was taking out his notebooks, the girl noticed the twinkie and asked for it. Thinking nothing of it he gave it to her. He would still have to look for someone to give the twinkie to anyway so he just gave it to her.


    But this was the first time Qie Ranzhe sampled the taste of vinegar breaking another barrier towards his feelings for the nerd. He didn''t know why he would feel this way but all he knew is that he disliked it which was rather unreasonable.


    As soon as Gecko left the ssroom, Qie Ranzhe whispered something in Machu''s ear. Machu wanted to retort but the oppressive forceing from Qie Ranzhe had him standing up as fast as lightning. He knocked on the girl''s desk before saying, "Hand it over," in a stern voice.


    The girl''s brows creased as she asked, "What?" while eyeing him suspiciously.


    Machu scratched his blond hair withplicated feelings before responding, "The twinkie, hand it over."


    The girl sneered but just as she was about to refuse she felt an inexplicable chill on her back. When she looked back she found Qie Ranzhe staring at her with his dark eyes. She immediately took out the twinkie and gave it to Machu. She wouldn''t want to be on the bad side of this great buddha.


    After that incident, it became a well-known ss secret that if Gecko gave any of them a twinkie they should give it to Machu if they treasure their lives. Wen Qinxi naturally didn''t know he was supplying twinkies to Qie Ranzhefor three months straight that is until Mama Wen got over her addiction or so they thought. She had changed to hiding her stash at her office. What was surprising was that it took her three months to figure that out. It seemed Wen Qinxi''s IQ was inherited from his father.


    When the well of twinkies dried out Qie Ranzhe was having withdrawal symptoms. This indirect contact had given Qie Ranzhe an elusive connection but once it was gone he had to find another way. This is when he made the biggest mistake which was recruiting Nu Shen.


    Machu had brought her over to Qie Ranzhe''s Maybach where this meeting was held. Nu Shen was a third-generation heir and her family had close business ties to the Qie family so he didn''t mind discussing this with her.


    "What do you want?" she asked with her arms folded across her chest. She was one of the few who had zero interest in Qie Ranzhe mainly because she wasn''t into domineering boys. She preferred the soft type she can control which Qie Ranzhe didn''t consider when he hired her.


    Qie Ranzhe wasn''t dissuaded by her attitude thoroughly suppressing her with his overbearing side. He took out a rare Sailor Luna card from her favourite show Sailor Moon. She had a full collection of the very first cards to be made all except Sailor Luna and here it was dangling in Qie Ranzhe''s hand. It wasn''t about the money it was about the rarity of it that caught her attention.


    Her attitude changed immediately eyeing that card with her wolfish eyes. "All you have to do is bring Gecko to my swimming practice and drag him along whenever I ask you to. Do that and it''s all yours," he said vexing Nu Shen.


    "What tha..... that''s it? Fine, fine I will do it but who is Gecko?" she said.


    "Oh boy," said Machu feeling unsettled. As soon as Nu Shen left he just had to express his thoughts. "Ran-ge, why can''t you just walk up to him and say ''hie, let''s be friends''. Wouldn''t that be more effective?" he said seriously worried about Qie Ranzhe''s social skills.


    "What do you think would happen if a cat walks over to a mouse and says let''s be friends. What do you think the mouse will do?" he asked before fiddling with his cellphone.


    "Scurry away and hide?" replied Machu urately pinpointing the problem.


    "I want him to be interested in me first..... now where are the pictures?" he asked raising his head to look at Machu.


    "Oh, here. I got some good ones this time. I am sure you won''t be disappointed," said Machu as he transferred pictures of Gecko out of school.


    A subtle smile appeared on his face as he zoomed in on the clear picture of Gecko smiling. He especially liked it so much and saved it in his secret folder as it was exclusively for his eyes only.


    If only he had known someone would snoop in his cellphone in the future he would have fortified security on his phone like Fort Knox.

 Chapter 488: Dangling A Juicy Steak In Front Of A Puppy

    Chapter 488: Dangling A Juicy Steak In Front Of A Puppy


    With Nu Shen onboard Qie Ranzhe felt a warm sensation in his chest. At that time he found this to be the best n because he had zero experience pursuing anyone especially a man. Never in his life had he imagined he would be smitten by a man to the point of having spring dreams.


    On plenty of asions, he had woken up with a sticky substance on his crotch area after dreaming himself pressing that nerd down in the most inexplicable ces. He had dreamt of pressing him down in the janitor''s closet, the staff room, swimming building''s locker room and even the library.


    It''s safe to say he was going crazy. The somewhat normal things that Gecko used to do before seemed seductive to him. Like the way, he twirled a pen in between his slender fingers and ced it behind his ear while solving equations with a serious face. Even the simple action of drinking water during physical education had subtle hints of provocation in it.


    The way his Adam''s apple bobbed underneath his skin with drops of sweat dripping from his dampened short hair trailing all the way down his cheeks, his lovely neck and corbone before disappearing underneath his sports t-shirt. It painted an ''I am thirsty soe get me'' picture in Qie Ranzhe''s eyes.


    He was no longer participating in physical education ss just sitting there on the terrace bench watching him like a starved wolf eyeing its prey. This version of Qie Ranzhe raging with hormones had the girls blushing as they couldn''t tell who Qie Ranzhe was ogling at for the entire period.


    Since the prince had taken an interest in one of them there was a sharp increase in wearing makeup in that ss. But the person who was actually been watched had no idea.


    Even if it ever crossed his mind it would be the most absurd idea on the. Much more absurd than the idea that humans would travel to the sun to explore. Firstly, he is a boy and didn''t have any particr interest in dating the same sex or maybe it just hadn''t crossed his mind.


    Secondly, he was an invisible nerd with no good points so why would anyone let alone a boy take an interest in him.


    Well, that''s at least what he thought until Nu Shen suddenly started sticking to him like gum under his shoe. This change took him by surprise that he wasn''t adapt to a pretty girl calling his nickname affectionately while dragging his wrist.


    It was always "Gecko, let''s go watch swimming practice" or "Gecko, let''s go watch a movie" even this "Gecko, let me take a picture of you. Oh, and smile a little". If this girl wasn''t interested in him then his surname wasn''t Wen. What was funny was that wherever he was dragged to, Qie Ranzhe and his blond sidekick would always be close by.


    One time they were walking towards the swimming building when Nu Shen said she wanted to use the bathroom and that he should wait for her. While he was waiting Qie Ranzhe showed up out of nowhere and handed him an empty packet of twinkies while saying, "I amte for swimming practice so can you throw this for me," before he patted his cheek and strode away.


    Wen Qinxi looked at the trash can that wasn''t even a meter away from them then nce back at the disappearing figure before looking at the wrapper. A ''what the fuck'' expression was written on his face as he repeated this cycle two more times.


    The trash can was right there so what did he take him for? A butler or garbage collector? Wen Qinxi casually tossed the wrapper in the trash can with a vexed expression while cing his hand on his cheek that had been touched. This is when he first thought ''Qie Ranzhe was a jerk'' and would use this as his password in the future, of course, followed by a lot of symbols and ellipses.


    Wen Danzhe soon spotted changes in his brother''s habits and straightforwardly asked, "So you are saying the hottest girl in your ss who is from a wealthy family just started dragging you along everywhere out of the blue? Is that right?"


    Wen Qinxi swirled around in his swivel chair to answer his question. "Yeah, do you think she likes me? I mean it''s a little weird, isn''t it?" asked Wen Qinxi while pushing up his sses.


    Wen Danzhey on his brother''s bed throwing a dragon ballz stress ball up in the air before catching it in his hand when it fell back down. Forgive him for thinking this way but ever since his brother was diagnosed with short-sightedness, bite issues and had a teen breakout before graduating out of junior high school he hadn''t received any of those pink letters like he used to before.


    The probability of a hot girl suddenly developing an interest in him was next to zero especially when he kept to himself at school. It''s either she wanted something, wanted to make someone jealous or someone sent her. Something smelt fishy but he wasn''t going to tell his brother that so he asked, "Do you like her?"


    Wen Qinxi didn''t really know the meaning of the word like at that age or how it felt but she was fun and liked hanging with him so he nodded his head. Anyway, boys at that age wouldn''t mind having a girlfriend even if it wouldn''tst.


    Wen Danzhe got up and tossed the stress ball into Wen Qinxi''s hands and said, "Then ask her out. Just don''t let mum find out otherwise we are both dead."


    This advice had Wen Qinxi contemting for an entire fortnight. He liked how soft Nu Shen''s hand felt when she held his wrist whenever he refused to go with her. He would deliberately refuse first so she could drag him along. He started buying her favourite snacks and at times she didn''t even have to ask when Wen Qinxi would give exactly what she wanted at the right moment.


    Even when it was that time of the month for her Wen Qinxi could tell from her sullen mood that he would bring along a heating pad as well as pain relievers for her. He was the number one considerate friend that touched Nu Shen''s heart. All the hand-holding and doting actions fell into Qie Ranzhe''s eyes and boy was he like a raging bull during those days.


    It was a well-known fact that one shouldn''t provoke young master Qie because he would erupt like a volcano taking things from zero to a hundred in a second. But he couldn''t be angry with Wen Qinxi because it was his own fault for dangling a piece of juicy steak in front of a puppy.


    Thus Nu Shen was invited to the Maybach once more but this time her Sailor Luna card was under threat. Qie Ranzhe was holding a lighter he got from his driver twirling it in between his long fingers while staring at the card.


    "We had a deal," he said in a lowered but menacing voice like a demon speaking through possession. The air inside the car was chilling to the bone that even Machu felt the chill from the outside.

 Chapter 489: Madam Qie Finds Out Her Sons Secret

    Chapter 489: Madam Qie Finds Out Her Son''s Secret


    Nu Shen knew he wasn''t screwing around as she stammered, "I, I fulfilled my en-end. You, you can''t....," but the lighter was suddenly lit making her panic.


    "Holding his hand and flirting wasn''t part of the deal," he said staring at the lighter with a dark expression as he recalled how that stern-faced person smiled ever so sweetly at Nu Shen. He had never smiled at anyone in that school building except for Nu Shen. His heart twisted painfully when he thought of it.


    "Okay, okay I might have gone a little overboard but I will stay away from him just, just be cool and give me that," she said trying to save Sailor Luna from the clutches of evil.


    "Mn, I will give it to you when I am satisfied," he said tossing the lighter in the cupholder in front and slipped the card in his pocket before opening the car door.


    It was around this time that Wen Qinxi finally toughened up and wrote that letter which was also confiscated by Qie Ranzhe after Machu spotted the nerd slip the letter in Nu Shen''s desk.


    Wen Qinxi did notice that Nu Shen''s attitude had changed but he just assumed it was because of the love letter so he resorted to his old self asionally ncing over in Nu Shen''s direction. This annoyed Qie Ranzhe so much that he had to do something about it.


    He had the school trip before the university entrance exam changed from a museum trip to a camping trip. This would undoubtedly give him ess to Gecko. Mama Wen wasn''t too pleased with the sudden trip change but she epted it and packed up too many things for him.


    When they arrived Wen Qinxi had to share a tent with a schoolmate in ss two. His name was Ba Gua and they were in the same club so it was the least bit awkward for Wen Qinxi.


    They seemed to get along on the first day but Ba Gua''s attitude changed the next morning. Wen Qinxi had no idea how he had offended him. He assumed maybe he had been snoring loudly the previous night or something. What he didn''t know was that Ba Gua was woken up in the middle of the night by Qie Ranzhe and his henchman.


    He was told to take his sleeping bag and spend the night in a tent Machu was meant to share with Qie Ranzhe. Machu didn''t forget to threaten him while he was at it. If he were to breathe a word of what happened tonight he would have his dirty business aired out in the open.


    This nerd who slept like the dead had no idea the person he shared a tent with was Qie Ranzhe. Qie Ranzhe didn''t do anything to him except using the suggestive technique he had learnt to make Gecko lose interest in Nu Shen. For two nights during that camping trip, Qie Ranzhe slept beside him watching him all night with the asional cheek caress which he enjoyed very much.


    Ba Gua''s attitude became uglier even after the camping trip. He really believed Wen Qinxi and Qie Ranzhe were in that kind of rtionship which is why the club miraculously got funds to build a medical robot and develop an AI which was Wen Qinxi''s forte.


    He found Wen Qinxi disgusting believing he had sold his ass to a rich young master for benefits. He carried the very same attitude into GameX when he found out about Wen Qinxi who entered thepany after him was entrusted with gship.


    He had already mentioned it before to his colleagues but once Wen Qinxi joined the team working on gship he intensified the spread of the rumours damaging Wen Qinxi''s reputation.


    After the camping trip, Wen Qinxi seemed to no longer care much about Nu Shen. Anyway, it wasn''t like he was in love or something though he did like her. Teens that age usually have fickle feelings so he stopped caring much.


    But after this trip, things seemed to take a turn for the worst for Qie Ranzhe. His parents who had been fighting none stop had finally called it quits with his mother kicked out of the house like she was the third wheel in that rtionship.


    His mother''s mood dropped and she was diagnosed with depression. He took on the task to take care of her with the only bright light in his life being Gecko.


    He could look at his pictures after a terrible day and his bad mood would be lifted making him happy again. That is until he got home one day and his mother was sitting in the lounge with a stack of pictures ced in front of her.


    She had juste out of her appointment with the therapist when the receptionist handed an envelope to her saying some deliverypany had left it for her. She thanked her and walked into her car opening the envelope as they drove back to her mansion.


    Inside were conversations between her son and Machu about some boy named Gecko. They were loads of pictures of this delicate average boy transferred to Qie Ranzhe''s cellphone by Machu. Not only that but it seemed her son shared a tent with that kid at the camping trip and words like charming and sweet were used in the messages.


    Her reaction terrified the driver into almost swaying the car out of the road. If it weren''t for his training they surely would have gotten into a fender bender that day. She screamed so much tearing some of the pictures while she was at it.


    She wasn''t certain who gathered this information and what their intentions were. It could have been that slut who took her ce or the Qie family. She didn''t know who did it but she had to stop her son otherwise she would lose more face than she already had.


    This is why when he walked into the house she had on a dark expression. She didn''t respond when he spoke to her so he walked over only to find his two-year historyid out on the table for him to see. His secret was out before he even got to confess his feelings. He reprimanded himself for being careless.


    While trying toe up with the right words to speak his truth his mother suddenly stood up and pped him so hard that he started seeing ck spots. His mother had never raised her hand to hit him but today she did leaving behind scratches on his face.


    "Mother," he called out with bloodshot eyes but another loud pa sound echoed in the room as she backhandedly pped him. The metal taste of blood filled his mouth as he identally bit his cheek in the process.


    "He threw me out for that slut and her bastard child and you decide it is in your best interest to do this?" she yelled as she threw the papers in his face her chest heaving in anger, "Do you want to give him a reason to rece you as heir? Huh? Is that what you fucking want? I have no issues with gay people but not you. Not my son! We have already lost too much, do you hear me!"

 Chapter 490: The Nerd Under The Quilt

    Chapter 490: The Nerd Under The Quilt


    That loud resounding p wasn''t the end of it. His mother''s sanity had unravelled as all her sadness spilt over. She clutched her chest with tears rolling down her eyes. "I am weak and useless..... wuwuwuwu..... your mother failed to protect you and lost everything I worked for. They have abandoned you and threw you out... it''s all my fault. me, me me for being weak wuwuwu..... How am I supposed to protect you if they find out about this? I am sorry, I am so sorry I have failed you. Mummy is sorry," she said as her body copsed on the floor.


    Qie Ranzhe reached over to embrace her while wiping her tears. He had witnessed with his own eyes the torment his mother suffered over the years but he himself was useless and could onlyfort her hoping things would get better. His parent''s rtionship was toxic from the start but she loved him.


    She just didn''t think after all she did for her husband he wouldmit the ultimate betrayal without even batting an eyelid and serve her with divorce papers. Her heart had been sliced deep by that man and the wound wasn''t healing.


    Qie Ranzhe had caught her several times staring dazedly at the knife set in the kitchen. One time she actually picked it up with its tip pointed towards herself while staring nkly at it. She seemed unaware of her environment so he called out to her that''s when she regained her wits cing the knife on the counter with a smile that wasn''t exactly a smile concealing her true feelings.


    "Mother is okay, you don''t have to worry," she had said but of course, he didn''t believe her.


    Thest straw was when he caught her almost climbing up the balcony rails. He had dragged her back into the house and had someone watch her twenty-four seven.


    That''s when therapy started. It seemed to be working but today she unravelled wailing herself to death. Qie Ranzhe was so distraught that he promised her he would do anything to help her get better.


    It was this promise that had him sitting on the beach for an entire afternoon while smoking cigarettes something he had never done before. In his hand, he had the pictures and chat records sent to his mother.


    He stared at them as he smoked away. He liked Gecko but each time he recalled how distraught his mother was he would get an unbearable ache in his heart. Indeed, we can''t all get what we want.


    He was forced to choose between his mother or his first love. Common sense made the choice obvious but his heart was fighting.


    His inexperience in dealing with this kind of situation made him forget one crucial point. That is who leaked this information and sent it to his mother. The culprit showed up at the right opportunity to apany him. But because of his clouded judgement, he didn''t put two and two together.


    It never crossed his mind that Zhao Huangzhi had orchestrated all of this. That''s because they were childhood friends and hung out a lot before she left.


    In fact, she would be the least suspicious in his eyes because she had just returned and never expressed any kind of interest towards him. So he didn''t reject her when she offered him a shoulder to lean on.


    This innocent looking girl was in fact the mastermind. She had been silently watching Qie Ranzhe''s every move all this time. Her obsession for him had started when they were younger. She wasn''t the type to show her interest outwardly but had diaries filled with stories about Qie Ranzhe.


    At some point, she started to refer to him as husband in her diary and from then on her writing became even more delusional.


    When her mother found her stack of diaries and pictures of Qie Ranzhe her father sent her away. There was something clearly wrong with Zhao Huangzhi and he thought sending her away would help her get over her unhealthy obsession but it clearly didn''t work.


    When she came back she wanted to confess her feelings but there was an annoying hindrance and that was the Gecko freak. She snooped through his cellphone when they went out for Karaoke and Qie Ranzhe was passed out. What she found had her so upset that she had to do something.


    The fact that Gecko was a boy meant he would be easy to be rid of so she conjured up this n and let the heartbroken Qie Ranzhe lean on her for support.


    That day on the beach as they watched the sun sink into the horizon, she made him understand why liking a man wouldn''t only ruin his mother, the Qie family and his reputation in their circle. Her argument was so convincing that he decided to let go. He burnt those pictures marking the beginning of his journey to forget Gecko. This was for the best.


    He didn''t know when it happened but he grew an over-reliance on Zhao Huangzhi over time and confessed his feelings at some point. Machu didn''t approve because he always felt something was off about her but seeing his friend happy he didn''t say anything.


    When it became apparent that it wasn''t Mr Qie''s intention to have Qie Ranzhe take over the Qie empire, Zhao Huangzhi was again made to leave the country by her father. Their rtionship grew distant but Qie Ranzhe held on starting his ownpany to prove to her that he was worthy. Machu couldn''t stand by and just watch his friend work himself to death just to be with Zhao Huangzhi.


    He tried to convince him to let her go but he ended up being cklisted by Qie Ranzhe for an entire year. He was angry and vowed not to care anymore but when he heard Qie Ranzhe wanted to propose he swallowed his pride and showed him evidence that the Zhao family were already introducing her to potential marriage candidates, heirs who would certainly inherit their families'' businesses.


    They argued but it didn''t take long for Machu to be proved right. Not only did Zhao Huangzhi reject his proposal but she had a bunch of rubbish to say that had this CEO''s eyes open. This is why when she tried to kiss him in the hospital he kicked her out.


    ***


    Now that we are all caught up let''s go back to the nerd under the quilt.....


    Wen Qinxi had been under that quilt for the past twenty-four hours. He refused to talk, eat or move which had Wen Danzhe concerned. He had to end up calling mummy dearest for back up otherwise his brother might suffocate himself to death under the quilt.


    While waiting for his mother, he tried to cheer him up. He brought Wen Qinxi''s cellphone with a message from the bank. Qie Ranzhe had transferred ten million RMB to Wen Qinxi''s ount. He stupidly thought that it would cheer up Wen Qinxi but his brother curled up into a ball refusing to acknowledge him.

 Chapter 491: Mama Bear Wen

    Chapter 491: Mama Bear Wen


    Wen Danzhe felt helpless as he had run out of ideas. If money couldn''t make his brother happy then what would? Did Wen Qinxi want him to drag Qie Ranzhe over and beat him up till he married his brother? This n wasn''t feasible neither would he approve so Wen Danzhe was left with no choice but to softly coax him.


    His attempts were all futile that is until his mother banged at the apartment door like a police officer. As soon as he opened the door his mother walked in a hurry looking everywhere for her firstborn. She held a bento in her hand looking like she was about to beat up someone. "Where is he? Who hurt my baby?" she asked cing the bento on the coffee table before rolling up her sleeves.


    Her motto, ''if you fuck with her babies then you better be ready to face an angry mama bear''. Wen Qinxi heard themotion in the sitting area and got out of his bed to see his mother. He is not a mama''s boy but he really missed his mother in the past months and just wanted to hold her.


    When Mama Wen saw her son''s state her heart broke into tiny pieces as she embraced him. His eyes were swollen, his hair dishevelled and long with a stubble on his chin. The deep sadness in his eyes was apparent.


    In as much as she wanted to know what happened, she knew this wasn''t the time to ask. She sat him down but Wen Qinxi wouldn''t let go. So mother and son embraced as she mouthed to Wen Danzhe asking, "What happened?"


    Wen Danzhe shook his head before rushing to the kitchen to get some cutlery and eat the food in the bento that was tantalizing him. Because he couldn''t cook he could only survive on snacksst night which he tried to share with his brother but Wen Qinxi refused to eat.


    As soon as he reached out for the bento his hand was smacked by his mother. "Are you heartbroken?"


    Wen Danzhe shook his head and his mother replied, "then it''s not for you," before pulling the bento closer to Wen Qinxi. She opened it up and the soothing fragrance of a home-cooked meal filled the air. Wen Danzhe gulped while holding his chopsticks.


    "Eat up honey, you must be hungry," she said coaxing Wen Qinxi while stroking his hair, "no need to be sad. Mummy is here."


    Wen Qinxi thanked her and pushed the bento between him and Wen Danzhe so they could share. He didn''t have much of an appetite but the love his mother put into preparing this mealpelled him to eat.


    Mama Wen watched her two boys eat with a smile on her face. Her greatest wish was for her children to be happy and to achieve that she tried to provide them with the best environment but she couldn''t protect them from the outside world. All she could do was educate them and be there for them when something like this happens.


    After they finished eating Wen Qinxiy his head on his mother''sp while she asked him questions about his project. She didn''t understand any of the tech stuff but she wanted to take his mind off things and it worked.


    Once her son started talking about software and programming he would put on an unknowing smile. She listened to him till he fell asleep.


    As soon as she finished tucking in her son she went after the only other person who could possibly know what happened to Wen Qinxi.


    Wen Danzhe waspletely unaware that he was about to be his mother''s target standing by the fridge looking for something to drink. He could sense something was up so he looked back but found no one.


    He shrugged his shoulders and picked up a can of energy drink. He opened it and took a sip as he closed the fridge door only to be met by his mother standing there like a ghost in a horror movie.


    He spat out a mouthful of the energy drink in his mouth out of fright. "Ma!" he yelled while hurriedly wiping the counter.


    "Shh, he''s sleeping... so tell me. What happened?" she asked like an interrogator from Guantanamo Bay.


    There was no way in hell he was going to tell her otherwise his mother would only make things worse. Either two things would happen. One, she would gather her mahjong friends and use baseball bats to destroy Qie Ranzhe''s car. Two, she would camp in front of GameX with her group of friends and demand Qie Ranzhe take responsibility. On second thought, she would most likely do both.


    "Which girl did it, huh? I am going to teach her a fuckin lesson.... give me her address," she said closing the distance between them.


    "Ma,nguage, please," he said moving as far as possible from her, "plus I don''t know anything. He was like that when I picked him up from work."


    "How can you not know? You two are like two peas in a pod. You behave like fraternal twins so how can you not know. Are you lying to me? Is it something far worse than a breakup? Is she pregnant with another man''s baby? Is that it?"


    Question after question was fired at him like a missile but he kept his mouth shut. If his mother found out his brother was bent by his boss only to be dumped at the end, she would explode.


    "I really don''t know. He wouldn''t tell me," he said with one foot out the door. He wouldn''t snitch on his brother unless it was a life and death situation and this didn''t count as an emergency.


    "Fine, don''t tell me..... I will solve it myself," she said dialling her phone.


    "Wait,... Ma, what are you doing?" he asked thinking she was calling GameX. That wouldn''t end well if she did.


    "I am calling auntie Lang.... remember she opened a matchmakingpany. I am going to find your brother a new girlfriend. That ought to teach that bitch a lesson. Ahem, auntie Lang..... it''s me,"


    "Oh shit," mumbled Wen Danzhe before silently slipping away to warn Wen Qinxi but his head was suddenly hit by a fluffy loaf of bread. There was no need to guess who did it.


    "I will get you one as well if you say anything to him," she whispered covering the mic on her cellphone before resuming with her call.


    "Yes.... yes..... for my eldest son. A beautiful and kind one... yes..... she should also be serious. The marriage kind..... mhm... okay, next week," she said on the phone while Wen Danzhe secretly lit a candle for his brother. This was going to be interesting.

    Chapter 492: Mama Wen Pimping Out Her Son


    Wen Qinxi''s gaze lingered on the beautiful clear ocean right in front of him. The scenery was especially soothing to one''s unsettled heart temporarily finding sce. One might ask how he ended up on a beach on an ind resort. That''s because his mother and brother dragged him all the way here in the name of curing a broken heart.


    He would have preferred to hibernate in his apartment and binge watch anime while downing a bottle of expensive wine but his family wouldn''t let him. Wen Danzhe had helped him take a leave of absence from work while his mother booked flight tickets and bought sunscreen.


    In no less than two days they were on the sunny beaches of Yalong bay sipping cocktails under a thatched umbre. They were right, it was rxing but his mind couldn''t help but veer in Qie Ranzhe''s direction. Apart from the money transfer he hadn''t heard anything from him.


    This was to be expected but he couldn''t help but have hope. He had reached out for his cellphone several times a day to make a phone call but an inexplicable ache would fill his heart and he would clutch his cellphone till his knuckles turned white. He didn''t have Qie Ranzhe''s WeChat and that dinosaur had no social media ounts.


    He could either call Machu or the office but he was afraid of being rejected or better yet finding out that the man had truly rekindled his rtionship with Zhao Huangzhi. Qie Ranzhe didn''t promise or owe him anything. Him going into the game to save Qie Ranzhe was a transaction backed by the transfer in his bank ount so what right did he have to look for him?


    This line of thought weighed heavy on his heart that his emotions involuntarily seeped out which Wen Danzhe noticed. He grabbed Wen Qinxi''s cell phone out of his hand and yelled, "Ma, Qi-ge is going to get a cocktail. Do you want anything?"


    Wen Qinxi abruptly turned his head glowering at Wen Danzhe like a cat whose tail had just been stepped on. "What the fuck?" he mouthed at Wen Danzhe feeling annoyed.


    Wen Danzhe smiled slyly and said, "He said he also likes the waitress at the bar but he''s too shy!"


    Mama Wen hurriedly lifted her sunsses and got up. "Aiya..... let mummy dearest go with you.I am certain she will like you. I will be your wingman," she said before dragging Wen Qinxi all the way to the bar.


    While Wen Qinxi was embarrassedly getting his mother''s help in matters of the heart, Qie Ranzhe was seated on his desk looking somewhat distracted. He was hoping to set up a meeting with Wen Qinxi as soon as he reached the office but he found out the man had asked for an extended leave.


    These past few days he had been grounded by his mother and cousin as a consequence of refusing to stay in the hospital against the doctor''s advice. He wanted to hurriedly go back to work and hopefully get in touch with Wen Qinxi but that was merely wishful thinking.


    He stared nkly at the documents on his desk struggling to concentrate when his office phone rang. His heart jolted slightly as a thought fleeted past his mind. If it was Wen Qinxi calling what would he say? He hadn''te up with the right words to say yet.


    "Delun, pick up the call," he said to the virtual assistant AI running in his office. The call was immediately picked up and the soft voice of Li Menxie reverberated in the air.


    "Sir, you have a visitor. Dr Machu is here to see you," she said in a tone that could grasp any man''s interest.


    "Let him in," he replied feeling a little disappointed. Even though the likelihood of it being Gecko was next to none he was still rather discontented.


    Machu strode in through the door in the next minute and slumped on the couch with no care in the world. He had been incredibly busy these past few days that he hadn''t checked up on Qie Ranzhe. He decided toe over and see how he was doing before going home to sleep.


    "You look like shit," said Qie Ranzhe without taking his eyes off the documents in his hand.


    "You are the one to talk," replied Machu before he abruptly stood up and sat on Qie Ranzhe''s desk peeking at the documents, "Approving supply materials for gship?.... When are you introducing it to the world?"


    "A month from now... we about to run some trials to get certified," he replied while ring at that tooshie that dared to sit itself on his desk. Machu felt the oppressive airing from his friend so he got off the desk and sat in the chair opposite him.


    "Geez, such a stick in the mud..... So have you discussed it with your team yet? Oh, that reminds me, did you talk to Gecko?" he asked leaning in closer to hear the hot gossip. If he didn''t get these two together then his name isn''t Machu.


    Qie Ranzhe''s stern expression softened seeming somewhat hesitant. "No," he replied cing the documents back down on his desk, "I thought he woulde to work today but he didn''t."


    "Tsk, tsk.... you are already a CEO of apany yet you don''t know how to use a cellphone. Even an email would suffice," he said but the chilling auraing from the opposite side of the table had him let out a nervous chortle, "Okay, okay I was just messing with you. Here, how about I give you his number and you can call him right now?"


    Machu took out his cellphone and wrote Wen Qinxi''s number on a sticky note. Qie Ranzhe took the note while tapping the table nervously with his finger. That''s when he realised something. "Why do you have his number?" he asked eyeing Machu like a little boy robbed of his Optimus prime truck.


    Beads of cold sweat formed on Machu''s forehead as he hurriedly exined himself, "To talk about you of course. Just stop looking at me like that and call him." The scariest thing about his friend over here was his vicious death re that could frighten aatose patient''s soul to spirit away.


    Qie Ranzhe pursed his lips and picked up his cellphone to call Wen Qinxi but what he didn''t know was that the nerd''s cellphone was in the hands of Wen Danzhe.


    Wen Danzhe had his sunsses on lying in a beach chair as he watched his mother pimp out his brother when he heard something vibrating on the beach table. It was the cellphone he had just confiscated from Wen Qinxi. Seeing it was an unfamiliar number, he was about to hang up when a thought crossed his mind.

 Chapter 493: Antagonist Of The Highest Order

    Chapter 493: Antagonist Of The Highest Order


    He grinned like a malicious ghost and swiped the green button to answer. "Hello, may I ask who it is?" he saidfortably sinking into his beach lounge chair.


    Qie Ranzhe''s brows creased as he had already realised that this wasn''t Wen Qinxi''s voice. This voice was a few decibels deeper than Wen Qinxi''s. "It''s his boss. May you put him on the phone please," said Qie Ranzhe not forgetting to be polite. His mama taught him well.


    "Uh, I am his brother Wen Danzhe and I am pretty sure he is on leave so if you have anything to discuss with him you can discuss it when he gets back to work," replied Wen Danzhe wishing he could choke this bastard through the phone, "Oh and I highly suggest you stay the fuck away from him from now on so you don''t fuck with his emotions anymore. He is going on blind dates and trying to move on so let''s keep the rtionship between the two of you impersonal."


    Wen Danzhe had made a conscious decision to be an antagonist of the highest order. If Qie Ranzhe really liked his brother then he would have to work hard for it. Nothinges for free.


    Qie Ranzhe felt a suffocating feeling rise to his throat trying to keep his sanity and not go off on Wen Qinxi''s brother. What blind dates? What emotions? What did he do to Gecko in the game? A barrage of questions flooded his mind forgetting to respond to Wen Danzhe. He hadn''t evene up with a response yet when he heard Wen Danzhe say, "Oh my gosh Ma, stop introducing him to just anyone. Shit..... Is she trying to auction him out or something?"


    Beep! Beep! Beep!


    Was the sound of a dropped phone call echoing in Qie Ranzhe''s ear. To be fair, Wen Danzhe didn''t mean for the CEO to hear thest part but he couldn''t help it. His mother was introducing his brother to anyone who looked decent and judging from Wen Qinxi''s expression, he was going to get even with himter.


    Qie Ranzhe on the other hand was as green as a leprechaun''s hat clutching his cellphone tightly. Machu noticed something was up so he asked, "What? Did he hang up on you? I don''t me him. You should see the shit you put him through inside that game. His reaction is totally understandable," recalling the distraught look on Wen Qinxi''s face at the hospital.


    Qie Ranzhe suddenly stood up heading to the door in huge strides. He had to see it for himself.


    "Wait, where are you going?" asked Machu wondering what was going through Qie Ranzhe''s mind. He decided to go after him and when he finally caught up, he found him in the gaming room with the two other nerds running out of there at high speed.


    He was in such a terrible mood that he chased everyone out of the gaming room before essing the server by himself. He was the only one in GameX withplete ess to gship''s servers for safety reasons. There are parts of the server that the system wouldn''t grant even Wen Qinxi ess.


    Machu sat in the swivel chair silently watching his friend who seemed to have lost it. "I highly suggest you watch it at home.... just saying," he said after recalling some of the gossips the system shared with them.


    Qie Ranzhe ignored him and scanned his fingerprint before saying, "System, open server TX791 and download all the footage," with a scowl on his handsome face.


    The system that had been gallivantingtely celebrating independence suddenly felt terrified shrinking into its circuits. To put it in simple terms, it was scared shitless when it recalled all the mean retorts it said to Wen Qinxi while in the game. Based on this CEO''s character he wouldn''t let it off.


    It didn''t even bother correcting his method of address. Who cares if the boss wanted to call it system? Even if he called it idiot or dumbass it wouldn''tin. "Sir, no need to see such, such things. This lowly servant can summarise what happened. There''s no need to waste the great buddha''s time," it said trying its luck but who was it talking to? Qie Ranzhe wasn''t the type to negotiate.


    Machu couldn''t help but chuckle recalling how much money he lost to the system. Who would have thought this sassy thing would turn docile and humble in front of Qie Ranzhe.


    "Do I look like I am in the mood to bargain with you?" he asked feeling somewhat irritated. Whatever he did in that game must have been big.


    "No, no sir. This footage is months worth which will interfere with your work. I was, was being considerate," said the system wishing it was dealing with Wen Qinxi instead.


    "No need, now make the transfer and don''t you dare leave anything out," he said in amanding tone.


    Jolie was left with no choice but to transfer the footage into a portable storage device weeping tears of blood. It hoped Wen Qinxi woulde back soon to save it from the big bad wolf.


    While waiting for the transfer toplete he received a notification on his cellphone. Qie Ranzhe unlocked it only to find a message about a delivery of a care package he didn''t order. He raised his head to look at Machu who showed his cellphone screen.


    "I won''t have time toe to see you for the next two days so I bought you a care package with snacks, tissues and some lube cause you will need it," said Machu with a sly grin, "Oh and don''t overdo it..... shit! Hahaha.... so aggressive." Thetter part of the sentence was said when a Hello kitty stress ball that belonged to Xia Bai was thrown at him. He dashed out of the room in a hurry because his safety wasn''t guaranteed.


    "What I did in the game.... is it that deep?" he asked the system rubbing his forehead.


    "I think the appropriate question would be how deep did you drill into his well and how many times you did it..... hahaha..... just, just kidding," said the system before it remembered who it was talking to. You can''t me it. It has a problem. A day without screwing with someone is like going a day without food.


    "Bear in mind that you are expensive but receable," he said taking out the portable drive. He left the gaming room after dropping such a bomb leaving behind a terrified system. Its boss was too scary.


    GameX employees watched their CEO who had just returned today leave before the clock even struck 10 am. This was incredibly strange no matter how you looked at it but no one had the balls to approach him and ask if he was okay especially when his expression was as dark as the bottom of a charcoal pot.

 Chapter 494: Rumours

    Chapter 494: Rumours


    There is nothing as vexing as waking up from a deep sleep and not recalling what happened the day before. This is usually called a ckout after a night of partying a little too much. But for Qie Ranzhe this was more than a ckout. He had an approximately five months gap where he had zero memory of the shit he had done.


    Everyone had been speaking in riddles to him about what happened so he left thepany and went to his apartment a few blocks away. He was in such a hurry that he didn''t bother using his driver. All the security officer guarding the underground parking saw was a ck SUV speeding out of the parking area with his boss in the driver''s seat.


    His decision to go to his apartment was a wise one. If he went to his family home there was no guarantee his mother wouldn''t disturb him. He took off his shoes at the door and put on his slippers.


    The apartment was the same as before screaming bachelor all the way. Despite having not stepped foot into it for months it was spotless. It seemed his mother had been taking care of the ce in his absence.


    He connected the portable device to his t-screen TV and pressed y as he strode over to the kitchen to make a cup of ck coffee. Because it was an open-n setting he could hear everything from the kitchen.


    At the beginning of the footage, everything seemed fine harmless even but things shifted gears from zero to a hundred making him spit out a mouthful of coffee. He had intentionally sped up the video otherwise he would be here all year round.


    Who would have thought he would see himself standing in a wooden tub stark naked showing off to Wen Qinxi sh Lin Jingxie as soon as he pressed y. The innocent pursuit had changed to something else after that.


    He soon ditched the cup of coffee for a bottle of wine by midday. Coffee wasn''t doing the trick anymore especially in the second world. A sour taste rose in his throat but it wasn''t the wine. It was something else, something more suffocating.


    Especially when Wen Qinxi looked at his other self with such affectionate eyes when he said he loved him. The sourness was temporarily suppressed when the steamy scenes resurfaced. Lucky for him, Machu''s care package had arrived making things very convenient.


    He couldn''t hold back the desire from watching Wen Qinxi pant below him. Especially after watching the scene where they had sex in space. The loved the way he pressed Wen Qinxi''s body against the floor to ceiling window with the man''s legs wrapped around his waist as he drilled into him like a ferocious beast.


    He could now understand why people make sex tapes. It is the world''s greatest aphrodisiac. It was because of this that this man didn''t step out of his apartment for three days straight. He wasn''t taking calls neither was he answering the door. His mother even thought he was dead that she had to get Machu to check on him.


    He even wouldn''t let Machu in that is until he lied that Wen Qinxi left a message for him. The door was opened in an instant but when he saw how haggard Qie Ranzhe looked he felt like running to save his life.


    Let''s put it this way. Machu had been friends with Qie Ranzhe for more or less fifteen years but he had never seen him this haggard. He was dressed in cks, long sleeve and a morning gown at two in the afternoon. This version of Qie Ranzhe was unheard of. His hair was a mess and he looked like he hadn''t slept well for days. Machu suddenly regretted urging him to watch what happened in the game.


    "What did he say? I can''t get through to him even when I used a burner it''s his younger brother who answered. I think he cklisted me," said Qie Ranzhe as he slumped on the couch feeling rather depressed.


    Machu nervously walked into the apartment afraid to see something he shouldn''t see but everything seemed normal. The owner of the apartment looked haggard but the apartment itself was spotless. It seemed Qie Ranzhe''s OCD wasn''t affected by his mood. He even started questioning whether Qie Ranzhe''s exhaustion was due to cleaning or self-gratification?


    "Well, I lied but wait, wait, wait..... before you get angry," he said taking a few steps backwards when he caught sight of that death re, "he ising back in two days. The only way you can see him is if you go back to work, right? So how about you stop being a hermit and go back to work?"


    Qie Ranzhe knew he was right but all he could think about was Wen Qinxi. There was no one word to urately describe how he was feeling these past few days. He was mad, mad at himself for putting Gecko through so much. His first love was forced to die, watch him die, being shot by him and fight ghosts. How could he not be upset with himself after that?


    He was guilt-ridden, ashamed, heartbroken and sad giving him insomnia. He wanted to call Wen Qinxi and apologize for putting him through so much but the longer he couldn''t get through to him the more unstable his emotions became.


    Such was what Qie Ranzhe was going through these past few days. But Machu was right. He had to get back to work and hopefully Wen Qinxi will be willing to talk to him after hees back.


    Qie Ranzhe ran his fingers through his hair as he stood up saying, "You are right about that. Thanks."


    "Oh..... that''s good and since you um decided to go back to work there is a..... um, tiny problem," replied Machu showing the screen of his cellphone with a news site opened, "This is why people have been trying to reach you."


    Qie Ranzhe''s brows creased as he read the news. "Fuck!" he swore itching to kill someone.


    Wen Qinxi naturally had no idea something was going on online mainly because his brother had a new hobby. That is adopting his cellphone without his permission. And they both seemed in on it because his mother would berate him saying, "Looking at that screen all day will hurt your eyes," or, "Honey, you don''t need your phone. We are here to help you get over that bitch."


    Meanwhile, she would be on her cellphone uploading their pictures on Weibo with the caption ''looking for a daughter inw'' #singleandlooking.


    Besides all that, he had to admit the holiday was incredibly rxing. One could tell from the way he was swaggering out of the airport with his suitcase in hand. He naively believed this good space would stay with him till Monday but boy was he wrong.


    A casual nce at the gigantic screen in the airport almost made him trip on himself. He took off his sunsses thinking maybe something was wrong with his eyes but reality pped him across the face like a heartless bastard.


    Wen Danzhe had been busy trying to get his mother away from the duty-free liquor store that he didn''t notice when his brother was abducted. Okay, abducted is a little strong so let''s say swept away. By the time he turned around Wen Qinxi was gone.


    He raised his brow wondering how he could have lost a grown man that is when his gaze fell on the current news ying on TV. "Damnit," he mumbled already realising who could have possibly taken his brother.

 Chapter 495: Hot Gossip

    Chapter 495: Hot Gossip


    Wen Qinxi wasn''t the kind to follow strangers and he wouldn''t go with just anyone. While in a daze watching the news he was approached by Qie Ranzhe''s driver. Someone had taken it upon themselves to leak gship to the media not forgetting to mention that the technology had problems which is why the CEO of GameX was M.I.A for five months. That wasn''t all but that''s all Wen Qinxi heard before he was approached by the driver.


    Qie Ranzhe had been waiting for his lead programmer toe back from vacation and hold a press conference which is why he had his driver whisk him away as soon as he arrived.


    As soon as Wen Qinxi got to the office they had to use the back door because the reception was prepped for the conference buzzing with journalists. He wasn''t dressed for a press conference but there wasn''t much time left because his flight had been dyed by half an hour.


    He was dressed in green cargo pants and a white statement T-shirt written ''Single AF''. There is no need to ask where he got it from. He was ushered to the ground floor conference room where Qie Ranzhe was waiting for him. The moment Wen Qinxi saw him he froze in ce with a slight tremble in his fingers.


    Qie Ranzhe had his back to him talking to the head of public rtions. He was dressed in a well-fitted suit with a new sexy low fade hair cut enhancing his freakishly handsome face. Wen Qinxi had seriously thought through how he would react when he met with Qie Ranzhe outside the game.


    It was a well thought out n but things never go as intended. His brain had decided to abandon him and take a second vacation at this moment. All he could hear was the rapid beating of his heart as he rubbed his mmy palms. He was seriously weighing the pros and cons of just taking off right now before Qie Ranzhe noticed him.


    Too bad his decision-making process was a little slower because Qie Ranzhe suddenly turned his head to face him. When their eyes met it was like an explosion was set off with only the two of them left standing. Everyone else in the room faded into the background as electric sparks ignited between them.


    Qie Ranzhe felt a warm feeling spread throughout his chest as he unconsciously walked over to him. It seemed he had lost control of his body as he drew closer, his intentions unknown. It took Li Menxie calling out to Qie Ranzhe three times to bring him back to earth.


    "Sir, we have to go. We are runningte," she said after walking in to find the two men eyeing each other ambiguously. She too was concerned about the rtionship between these two. There was nothing before but now there was definitely something going on between them.


    "Mn," replied Qie Ranzhe stopping a few feet from Wen Qinxi. "Did you rest well?" he asked subtly biting his lower lip.


    Wen Qinxi seemed calm on the outside but on the inside, he was all kinds of messed up screaming, ''What the fuck'' like a broken record. He didn''t have enough time to digest this unexpected situation because he was being rushed.


    "Fi-fine, fine," answered Wen Qinxi with his IQ taking a nose dive.


    The PR director handed him a leather folder with the GameX logo on it and said, "Just stick to the script and everything will be fine."


    Wen Qinxi''s gaze finally left Qie Ranzhe consulting the PR director while pointing at his T-shirt. "I am not dressed for it," said Wen Qinxi deliberately averting Qie Ranzhe''s gaze. If he so much as looked at him one more time, he might or might not have jumped him.


    Qie Ranzhe looked at Wen Qinxi''s T-shirt and felt so sour that he couldn''t take a second look. ''Single AF. Huh, not for long,'' he thought while the PR director appeased Wen Qinxi.


    "You''re like the director in a movie. No one cares how you are dressed as long as you don''t look too shabby. Just focus on the script and don''t be nervous," exined the director before leading him out of the conference room.


    As soon as the three gentlemen stepped on the makeshift tform in GameX''s reception there was a burst in the clicking and shing of cameras almost blinding this nerd. He kept his head lowered that he didn''t even notice Qie Ranzhe pull a chair for him.


    The CEO stretched his hand almost touching his back guiding him to sit down before taking a seat himself. The atmosphere between them was a little off to others but to them, it appeared natural. "Thanks," murmured Wen Qinxi as he ced the folder on the table. Qie Ranzhe smiled at him with a lingering gaze that Wen Qinxi didn''t notice. Qie Ranzhe only managed to extricate himself from that enchantment when the PR director began the press conference.


    The press conference went well with the nerd struggling to useyman''s terms to exin gship. This technology was very exciting piquing the public''s interest but fifty per cent of the rest of theizens were more interested in the second rumour.


    Knowing how to capitalize on hot gossip, a journalist finally asked the million-dor question. "So Mr Qie, when will be the big day? I am certain you are thrilled to finally desert the single dog''s club," said the journalist sitting right at the back.


    Qie Ranzhe ced the bottle of mineral water he had just taken a sip from on the table. His expression didn''t look like he was a happily engaged man.


    But that wasn''t the scary part. The scary part was the fleeting re that was sent his way from a certain someone. It might not have lingered but it was very effective.


    "No, that rumour is absolutely false and I would kindly appreciate it if you correct your records," he said with an authoritative tone that he didn''t even use when he was rifying rumours about gship. His attitude seemed to say, ''you can fuck with gship all you want but you can''t pin a fiancee on me''.


    He could sense the man sitting beside him was incredibly pissed and would blow up at a moment''s notice so he ced his hand on Wen Qinxi''s knee under the table trying to appease him.


    His gaze remained fixed on the journalist asking a question with his hand on his chin but his other hand was gently squeezing the man''s thigh infort.


    Wen Qinxi was like a pressure cooker on the verge of exploding but that hand on his thigh did more arousing than soothing. His heartbeat skyrocketed with an inexplicable heat rising from the point of contact. He had to quench his thirst otherwise he couldn''t be held responsible for what happens next.


    Without giving it much thought, he took the exact bottle Qie Ranzhe drank from, unscrewed the cap and downed half of it in one go. Qie Ranzhe wanted to say something lifting his hand from Wen Qinxi''s thigh but it was already toote. Talk about sharing an indirect kiss during a press conference.

 Chapter 496: Qie Anzhies Play

    Chapter 496: Qie Anzhie''s y


    There is nothing as sexy as a man eyeing you like you are the only one in his eyes, the only one he would ever look at like that. Everything fades into the background and no one else matters but you. His gaze might fleet elsewhere but he would nce over to your direction constantly with a lingering passionate gaze that could have your blood boiling.


    This is exactly what Qie Ranzhe was doing on that tform. He couldn''t control himself as his actions were almost like an involuntary response.


    It wasn''t only the look but the bodynguage as well. Besides him putting his hand on Wen Qinxi''s thigh his head would unconsciously tilt towards the nerd quite often. He would also find himself subconsciously mirroring Wen Qinxi which most people would overlook but if a bodynguage expert or fujoshi was present at that press conference the entire world would find out that their rtionship was anything but impersonal.


    Even when they left the tform, Qie Ranzhe seemed to find excuses to touch Wen Qinxi be it his arm, his shoulder or leg. To anyone with an average EQ, one could tell something was up but Wen Qinxi didn''t notice all that as his brain short-circuited a long time ago.


    That journalist''s question had him patting his pockets looking for his cellphone but that''s when he recalled Wen Danzhe had it. A familiar deep voice reverberated in his ears asking, "What are you looking for?" with the person standing right behind him.


    Wen Qinxi felt his entire back stiffen with his heart beating hard against his chest. The whole engagement news set him off his bearings so much that he just wanted to be as far away as possible from Qie Ranzhe. Sure, Qie Ranzhe denied it but if he hadn''t seen the two of them kissing in the hospital with his own two eyes, he would have believed him.


    He was about to respond when Wen Danzhe suddenly showed up out of nowhere. It was evident that he had been running because he was panting heavily as he stood at the door. "Seriously, you just left without saying a word..... why are you so heartless?" he said before striding in. He wrapped his arms around Wen Qinxi''s shoulder with a sly smile directed at Qie Ranzhe.


    The CEO suddenly had a bad premonition so he said, "Can we talk before you go?" asking Wen Qinxi but the nerd didn''t want to talk right now. The issue was could he really reject his boss?


    Thankfully Wen Danzhe wasn''t the polite kind. He shamelessly spoke on his brother''s behalf saying, "He''s still on leave and besides our mother is waiting so you guys can talk on Monday," before pulling his brother along.


    The man didn''t even give Qie Ranzhe the opportunity to respond and even went as far as cing his hand behind his back and raise his middle finger at Qie Ranzhe with a malicious grin. Wen Qinxi naturally didn''t notice anything allowing his brother to drag him along.


    Qie Ranzhe''s brow twitched watching these two leave. He knew that Wen Danzhe was deliberately making things hard for him. It''s just that he didn''t think he would go this far. He would have thought Wen Danzhe''s behaviour unreasonable but after seeing the things he did for himself, he could understand.


    He looked down at the half drunk bottle of water in his hands and grinned before he unscrewed the bottle cap to finish it off. He licked his bottom lip with a sinister look on his face as he mumbled, "Tastes so sweet....."


    While Qie Ranzhe was concocting a n to outsmart his future brother inw and conquer his first love, the Zhao Family was a mess. Zhao Huangzhi had deliberately hinted at an engagement but who would have thought Qie Ranzhe would deny it upfront. She threw her heels at the TV in frustration especially when she saw that person right beside Qie Ranzhe.


    The heel was stuck on the TV with elongated vines from the cracks as the image glitched. She couldn''t understand what was so special about Wen Qinxi that interested Qie Ranzhe.


    The face wasn''t exceptional, the chest was as t as an ironing board and the body was nothing worth mentioning but he still managed to make Qie Ranzhe look at him like that. She regretted everything, all of it. She should have never listened to her father. She could have been Mrs Qie by now or at least about to be.


    After throwing a fit wrecking her bedroom she finally had an epiphany. There is only one person in this world that could influence Qie Ranzhe and that person is the woman who gave birth to him. Her anger was soon reced by an eerie smile that could scare a turtle back into its shell.


    ***


    The rumour about the engagement was all Zhao Huangzhi but the one about Qie Ranzhe being stuck in gship for months had absolutely nothing to do with her. She was all for his sess because if he seeds her father wouldn''t oppose their union at all.


    Mr Zhao was a proper businessman who only did things that benefitted him which extended to his daughters. In his eyes, every one of them had to y a part and if you aren''t useful to him then you might as well go leave outside and never return home.


    So she had no desire to see Qie Ranzhe fail. The real culprit was walking up the stairs in the Qie mansion with his hand in his pocket as he headed to his father''s office.


    Over the years Qie Anzhie had been under so much pressure taking over the Qie family business little by little but because he possessed little to no talent when it came to running a business, he had to work like a dog just to make up for it.


    His father was satisfied with his performance for a very long time that is until cracks began to form with the profit margin dropping the more responsibilities Qie Anzhie took on. Though things weren''t as good as before the situation was reversible so his father didn''t reprimand him as much. That is until his older brother who was meant to mentor him suddenly started his ownpany out of the blue.


    At first, he didn''t care about it thinking it would eventually fail because the man didn''t have any capital. Their father also suppressed him by blocking investors but his influence didn''t extend to foreign investors and the Dai family.


    Qie Ranzhe managed to build something from nothing. A fast-growingpany that had surpassed the Qie family business, a business that had been running for three generations.


    This didn''t settle well with Qie Anzhie because his father started nitpicking at him none stop. He got yelled at even for the smallest mistake which was driving him crazy. His father had grown distant possibly regretting his decision for picking Qie Anzhie as the sessor from the beginning.

 Chapter 497: Never Provoke A Kept Man

    Chapter 497: Never Provoke A Kept Man


    When a prideful person like Qie Anzhie experienced such a grievance he couldn''t let his older brother get away with it. It wasn''t hard for him finding out what happened to Qie Ranzhe these past few months.


    If he had known earlier while his brother was still stuck in the game, he would have told his father to use the excuse that Qie Ranzhe was incapacitated in order to take over GameX and absorb it into the Qie family empire. It was such a shame that he only found out after his brother woke up.


    The only other way he could retaliate was to ssh dirty water on GameX''s technology and slowly sink the ship. His n seemed to work as it had caught his father''s attention which is why he was being called to the old man''s office.


    He gently knocked on the door before entering his father''s office. The old man was sitting on his desk watching the news that was ying Qie Ranzhe''s press conference. Qie Anzhie snorted coldly as he unbuttoned his suit jacket before settling down.


    His father didn''t turn to face him with his hand on his chin his gaze fixated on the screen. No one could tell what he was thinking at this moment but Qie Anzhie wasn''t worried.


    It was only after the press conference ended did the old man switch off the screen and faced his second son. "This was your doing?" asked Mr Qie going straight to the point. He understood that Qie Anzhie was impulsive which wasn''t a good trait in running a business but this shorting wasn''t a big deal because he was still around to clean up after him that is until now.


    He knew Qie Ranzhe was far superior to himself and Qie Anzhie. This was one of the reasons he divorced Qie Ranzhe''s mother. It was to vex Qie Ranzhe especially since elder Qie had rewritten his will appointing Qie Ranzhe as his sessor. Which father would want his son to boss him around?


    So he swapped out the wills when the old man died. To stop Qie Ranzhe from ever finding out the truth he appointed Qie Anzhie as his sessor and nned for his eldest son to mentor him but of course, his n failed.


    When Qie Ranzhe walked out on him he tried to suppress the boy but it''s a well-known fact that one can''t suppress greatness. Qie Ranzhe outshone them even after being thrown out with no backing. Now that their profit margins were taking a nosedive, Mr Qie had a change of heart. He nned topel Qie Ranzhe toe back home and work for the family which is why he called Qie Anzhie here.


    Qie Anzhie slightly raised his brow as he replied, "Mn... I have someone on the inside. They will give me ssified documentation on gship tomorrow." Judging from his attitude you could tell he felt so smug but that smugness was soon wiped off his face by his father''s next words.


    "Good.... hand them over to me tomorrow. Its ck material to have Qie Ranzhee back to the family business," replied Mr Qie as he leaned back in his chair lighting a cigar.


    "Wait.... what?" said an astonished Qie Anzhie feeling like he was going to explode then and there. This wasn''t his intention when he had that Ba Gua steal GameX''s ssified documents. He wanted to bring down his brother''spany as soon as theyunched gship. Such a wless n was being hijacked by his father to bring his older brother back to thepany. Of course, he wasn''t going to let that happen.


    "You heard me..... if you weren''t so useless would I bother to bring him back? Tsk, such a disappointment," said Mr Qie before blowing out rings of smoke.


    Qie Anzhie clenched his fist with his veins bulging on the side of his neck as he suppressed his anger. A mix of ugly feelings rose to his throat suffocating him. Like a cockroach, his older brother was hard to get rid of. A constant threat that wasn''t easy to kill. It seemed he would have to implore even darker methods to eliminate the threat.


    ***


    While others were resting after a long day at work, a group of men in a deserted neighbourhood were surrounding a battered man who was crying for dear life. This person was none other than Ba Gua, the man who was brazen enough to leak information about Qie Ranzhe''s whereabouts these past months.


    Not only did he disclose information he had no business mentioning but he also tried to break into the gaming room by spoofing Wen Qinxi''s identity card but he had seriously underestimated the amount of security invested in GameX.


    me him for his ipetence thatnded him in this exact situation. He had been caught red-handed as soon as he stepped out of the elevator and brought to this ce.


    The security team wasn''t friendly in the least beating him till he sold out his backer but even then Ba Gua still wouldn''t talk. That is until the man of the hour showed up in person.


    Qie Ranzhe expected the snitch to make his move after the rumours were spread. He was sure the culprit would be waiting for Wen Qinxi to get back to thepany so they could frame him for the leaked documents and that''s exactly what happened.


    If it was just the attempt to stealpany secrets he would have dragged the man to the police station end of the story. But this man dared to frame Wen Qinxi which meant he wouldn''t let him off.


    The beating Ba Gua was receiving was not for a confession because Qie Ranzhe already knew who had the balls to mess with him. This beating was for screwing with his sweetheart.


    He ambled into the room while taking off his suit jacket which he handed over to one of his bodyguards. The room descended into silence with the only sounding from Qie Ranzhe''s formal shoes stepping on the concrete floor. Henguidly rolled up his sleeves before kicking Ba Gua who was ying dead like a possum on the ground.


    "I am giving you two choices. One.... tell me what beef you have with Wen Qinxi and the sentence would be lighter or two..... you don''t tell me and I will make your death look like an ident. Your choice," suggested Qie Ranzhe with his body surrounded by an oppressive air that had Ba Gua dropping his act in an instant.


    He thought the man would ask who sent him but it turns out Qie Ranzhe wasn''t interested in that at all. His life-saving grace turned out to be nothing.


    He had made up his mind to divulge who sent him as an exchange for his life but Qie Ranzhe wasn''t interested. Instead, Qie Ranzhe wanted to know why he wanted to frame Wen Qinxi. As expected, one can''t provoke a kept man.

 Chapter 498: Ba Guas One Sided Animosity

    Chapter 498: Ba Gua''s One Sided Animosity


    You are free to choose, but you are not free from the consequences of your choice. This statement had never crossed Ba Gua''s mind until now. Maybe it was because he thought he wouldn''t get caught that he didn''t weigh the cons.


    Over the years he had let his disgust and envy fester whenever he thought of that nerd who even in the club meetings would be typing on hisputer writing code like he had nothing else going on for him.


    It didn''t actually start out that way. In fact, he admired him at first. Gecko was very hardworking and had great ideas. He even thought they could be friends as they were cut from the same cloth. But no matter how many conversations he tried to start with Wen Qinxi it would always run dry at some point so he backed off eventually.


    When Qie Ranzhe joined their club it never crossed his mind that the male god was after someone in particr. Like the rest of the club members he tried to hug this prince''s thigh chatting him up but Qie Ranzhe remained cold and indifferent with Machu acting as his spokesperson.


    Soon afterwards the money starteding in and as the president of the club, Ba Gua was especially grateful. It seemed Qie Ranzhe had recognized their hard work but who would have thought he would get kicked out of the tent at the school camping trip so that these two people who had no corrtion whatsoever could spend the night together. What hard work? It was obvious one of his club members sold his chrysanthemum to get those funds.


    What ground his gears, even more, was Wen Qinxi''s calm appearance like he wasn''t at all embarrassed about the previous night''s escapades. He couldn''t help but wonder if this quiet person had done this sort of thing dozens of times. This could exin Wen Qinxi''s calm demeanour.


    Ba Gua''s bottom line was touched that he even petitioned that Wen Qinxi be removed from the club. His request was, of course, denied because Wen Qinxi was the brainpower of their project. One can understand why Ba Gua''s disdain festered.


    Over the years he somewhat put this incident behind him that is until he saw Wen Qinxi in GameX a few yearster. Memories of the past resurfaced and he did his uttermost to dirty Wen Qinxi''s name which ultimately resulted in him being alienated and gossiped about every day. This suppressed his brilliance as everyone assumed he wasn''t qualified and got this job after slipping into the boss''s bed.


    All these events led to this exact situation where Ba Gua found himself kneeling on the floor with half his face swollen and his nose bleeding. Qie Ranzhe crouched before him with an arrogant and bad-to-bone aura staring straight at him. "It seems I am just wasting my time here so I will leave you alone with them," he said before making a motion like he was going to stand up.


    "No no no, wait.... I, I will talk. I know, l know about you two," he stammered causing the blood in his mouth to sip out at the corner of his lips.


    Qie Ranzhe scoffed while rubbing his bottom lip with his index finger. "What do you know?" he asked with a murderous glint in his eyes.


    Ba Gua shifted his legs ufortably before exining, "I know what you are..... I saw it. You kicked me out of the tent so you two could spend the night together. I am certain you wouldn''t want your family finding out what you are...," but he couldn''t say anything after that because he was pped hard across the face making him see stars.


    His body fell backwards as a stinging pain spread across his already swollen cheek. The bodyguards raised his body back up and he was soon faced by the enraged beast once more. "Is that a threat?" asked Qie Ranzhe as another bodyguard handed him a handkerchief to wipe his hands that had been dirtied.


    Ba Gua quickly shook his head expressing how this was in no way a threat. "En, I thought so..... go on," said Qie Ranzhe in amanding tone.


    "For six years I worked so hard, I worked so fucking hard but hees into thepany and immediately gets involved in big projects. Like, like gship.... I should have been the lead programmer but just because you, you and him had a fling I lost my opportunity. Tell me.... how is that fair?" he exined with his emotions overflowing. He had suppressed these feelings for a very long time and now he had the opportunity to vent out.


    "So yes, I framed him. Such are the consequences of selling his ass to rob opportunities from those who deserve it," he continued ignoring the pain from speaking. He didn''t care if he further offended this man spewing out his guts.


    Qie Ranzhe finally understood what happened. He had read Ba Gua''s file in detail and knew they were former schoolmates but he hadn''t figured out where the one-sided animosity came from.


    He let out a throaty chuckle before there was a swift change in his expression. The smile vanished reced by a sinister gaze that resembled that of a demon.


    "He was never a kept man from the beginning. If anyone was kept it would be me..... All his sess had nothing to do with me because there wasn''t anything between us..... well, that is until now. He got gship because he worked hard and not because I had a crush on him in high school. Just ept your inferiority and stop ming your failures on someone else," he said before he stood up.


    The bodyguards pickedBa Gua up and made him stand before Qie Ranzhe. "I hope it was fuckin worth it," said Qie Ranzhe beforending a heavy punch on Ba Gua knocking him and a few of his teeth out.


    "Take care of this and make sure he won''t cause trouble ever again," said Qie Ranzhe looking down at his hand covered in blood with disdain.


    ***


    While Ba Gua was suffering the consequences of his actions, Wen Qinxi was suffering as a consequence of a mother''s love. This should be a good thing, right? Well, yes that is if he wasn''t being forced to go on a blind date.


    This is how it went down. Wen Qinxi was lying on the bottom bunk bed at his mother''s apartment sleeping the entire afternoon away when his mother suddenly opened the door with vigour.


    He was woken up with a start staring at his mother in vexation. "Ma!" he grumbled before lying back down covering his entire head with the quilt.

 Chapter 499: How To Ruin A Blind Date

    Chapter 499: How To Ruin A Blind Date


    She pulled the quilt off him and said, "Have you forgotten what I saidst night. Up, up, up get up. You have to go see this girl before work starts. I know you will have excuses after that," but her son had zero inspiration curling up in his panda onesie with no intentions of getting up.


    Mama Wen wasn''t deterred looking through his suitcase to pick clothes for him. It was a little chilly today so she especially picked him some warm clothes. "Trust me, you will like her. Auntie Lang especially picked her for you," she said walking over to drag him out of bed.


    Two hourster Wen Qinxi was standing outside the apartment door with his mother urging him to leave. Why two hours? It was because Wen Qinxi was staging a one-man protest that his mother almost dressed him herself.


    She observed him with great satisfaction admiring her handsome son. She had him dressed in dark blue slim-cut jeans, a ck sweater and a camel brown overcoat. Coupled with his typical college boy haircut his mother couldn''t resist taking a few pictures. "Now go get me a daughter inw," she said before closing the door on him.


    Wen Qinxi dragged his feet down the corridor while taking out his cellphone. He dialled Wen Danzhe''s number and couldn''t resistining. "She kicked me out... yep, I have to meet her at the restaurant along Fourth street," he said while yfully kicking the wall waiting for the elevator.


    "Just meet her otherwise you won''t hear the end of it. Oh, how about we go have some drinks after?" suggested Wen Danzhe.


    "Sure, just don''t invite your crazy friends," said Wen Qinxi before cutting the call. Just as the elevator doors opened his mother''s apartment door was abruptly opened with Mama Wen darting in his direction.


    "Qi-er, I forgot something," she said and his eyes widened when he saw what she was holding. He ran into the elevator and pressed the close button a dozen times but his mother managed to slip in. The elevator was suddenly flooded with chaotic sounds all the way to the ground floor.


    While Wen Qinxi was going through who knows what in the elevator, Wen Danzhe texted an address to Machu before picking up his backpack heading towards the university gates. He had to call all his crazy friends toe over tonight. It was obvious he had no intention of listening to Wen Qinxi.


    The same message was soon forwarded to Qie Ranzhe who was still in his office handling some certification documents. It read;


    Mach: JayJay''s on fourth. On a date.


    This message had him dropping everything in an instant shocking Li Menxie who thought they would be working overtime today. He grabbed his keys and overcoat without saying a word. Qie Ranzhe had no idea what he was going to do once he got there but all he knew was that he had to get there as soon as possible.


    Ten minutester, Wen Qinxi was sitting in the restaurant feeling rather self-conscious. He touched his ear that had a ck clip-on stud on it. His ears weren''t even pierced now he was forced to wear this and one at that.


    He took out his thick-framed sses from high school and wore them. Plus his retainers he looked like a failed attempt at hiding his gorgeous face. He ufortably touched his ear wondering how to remove this contraption when a pretty girl appeared in front of him with a beaming smile.


    "Hie, are you Wen Qinxi? I am Yung Zixian, you can call me Xian," she said before sitting down.


    As soon she sat down her smile froze as she ced her handbag on the ground.


    In the picture her mother sent to her he didn''t look like this. Granted he still looked okay but wasn''t the picture over advertising his appearance.


    "Ahem..... hello. It''s a pleasure meeting you. Um, how about we order first," he said feeling like he shouldn''t be here. He didn''t want to waste this lovely girl''s time but neither could he leave early otherwise his mother would find out and he would get an earful.


    Things seemed to be going well for a while. She was fairly easy to get along with that is until he felt something sending chills down his back. He looked around trying to find the source but couldn''t find anyone.


    He chose to ignore it and continue with his meal but the tense atmosphere didn''t dissipate making him feel very anxious. Wen Qinxi was about tough at himself for being paranoid when he caught a glimpse of Qie Ranzhe''s reflection in the mirror leaning against a ck SUV.


    Their eyes met in the mirror causing his heart to almost leap out of his chest. Agape he mumbled, "oh, shit," while turning around to check behind him. The ck car was there but the person wasn''t there vexing him. Was he going crazy?


    "Excuse me?" asked Yung Zixian in a displeased tone.


    Wen Qinxi hurriedly exined, "I am so sorry..... I thought, I... I thought I saw my ex just now," looking behind again.


    "Ex? Ha! Not only don''t you look like your picture, you even have a potty mouth. Now your ex is following you. I am not looking for someone with baggage.... excuse me," she said mming the napkin on the te of food before standing up to leave.


    Things went from zero to a hundred in a second leaving a dumbfounded Wen Qinxi staring at her disappearing figure. "Shit.....," he swore as he leaned back in his chair. He didn''t even get to celebrate his failed blind date because he genuinely thought he was going crazy. How could Qie Ranzhe be here?


    He paid the bill and walked out of the restaurant looking in the direction of the ck SUV that had no one in it. He heaved a deep sigh as he took out his cellphone to call Wen Danzhe. He might as well hang out with his brother tonight and get rid of his depressive thoughts.


    "Hey..... where are you?" he asked Wen Danzhepletely unaware of the figure watching him nearby. "Okay..... just don''t start without me... her, I scared her off... she said it was the swearing," he said before taking out his retainers that were making him talk funny.


    "Hahaha..... what do you want me to do? I was born with a filthy mouth. It''s in my DNA..... me our ancestors," he said slipping his sses inside his pocket. He had been wearing contacts for a very long time and felt ufortable wearing his sses at the same time as his contacts.


    Qie Ranzhe silently watched him getting into the taxi before walking out of the shadows. One would assume he would get back to the office after this but nope, he had other ns. Wherever Wen Qinxi goes tonight he would be going too he just needed some form of backup. And that backup was a three-person team that would show up even at a short notice.


    This walking talking jar of vinegar had graduated to a relentless stalker in a matter of seconds.

 Chapter 500: Nerd Gone Wild

    Chapter 500: Nerd Gone Wild


    Have you ever wondered what the drunk Wen Qinxi would behave like? Probably just tap out and sleep it off immediately, right? Or maybe be loud and rowdy? Well nope, he was far worse than that. To fully understand how this became Wen Qinxi''s biggest regret let''s go back twelve hours ago.


    When he arrived at the nightclub of Wen Danzhe''s choice, he assumed there would be just him and his brother since he specifically instructed him not to invite his crazy friends. But when he got at the VIP lounge which he obviously would be paying for, Wen Danzhe wasn''t alone.


    He had his two friends with him who Wen Qinxi named idiot one and idiot two. These two minions had been Wen Danzhe''s friends since high school and were even going to the same university. There was nothing toin about them except when alcohol is involved. The chemical reaction in the presence of alcohol was highly explosive and nothing good ever came out of it.


    He was seriously considering just walking out of here. Just turn around and walk away but as soon as his foot shifted to leave he heard his brother call out to him, "Stop right there!"


    Wen Qinxi pressed his lips into a thin line cursing internally. "Fuck your 20/20 vision..... tsk, how did you even see me in this dim-lit room?" asked Wen Qinxi as he walked over sluggishly.


    Wen Danzhe didn''t have time to respond when Tiao Ru a.k.a. idiot one stood up and embraced him in a big hug. "Qi-ge, I haven''t seen you in a long time. Come,e let''s drink..... I heard you got dumped so let us your little brothers help you drown your sorrows," he said guiding him to sit in the middle.


    Pai Dui a.k.a. idiot two poured out some vodka into a shot ss and handed it over to him, "Qi-ge, here. Today we are here to serve you," with a beaming smile.


    Wen Qinxi was hesitant starring at the shot ss. He had a premonition that something very bad was going to happen but Wen Danzhe nudged him and the moment he took that shot there was no turning back.


    Three shots in things got pretty interesting marking the manifestation of an unbridled nerd. "I feel so hot. Is it just me?" he said taking off his overcoat followed by pulling up the sleeve of his sweater. His face seemed normal so Wen Danzhe took the overcoat and gave it to Pai Dui to put it in his car.


    Meanwhile, Wen Qinxi seemed dissatisfied. He took a sip of his cocktail while pulling up his sweater exposing part of his toned abdominal muscles. "Shit.... put that down. Are you nning on stripping?" asked Wen Danzhe in an admonishing tone while pulling down his brother''s sweater.


    Wen Qinxi even dared to pout while grumbling like he had been wronged. "I feel hot.... so I should take it off," he said pulling Wen Danzhe''s ear till it turned red.


    "Ah shit... are you drunk already?" replied Wen Danzhe peeling off those unruly fingers that were gripping tight like a ferret.


    Wen Qinxi finally let go and denied it. "I am not wasted I am just hot. There is a fuckin difference," said Wen Qinxi but Wen Danzhe didn''t buy it so he ordered light snackspletely oblivious of someone who was watching them like a hawk.


    Qie Ranzhe arrived ten minutes after Wen Qinxi with his entourage and witnessed the whole pulling up sweater incident with a clenched jaw. It took so much restraint to stop himself from walking over there, pick him up and take him home. He silently watched them without touching any of the drinks on the table.


    "Dage, yo-you called me out to drink but wha-what are you doing?" asked an already tipsy Dai Yu who had jumped out of bed at the mention of the word party. She even dragged Shao Lan along.


    Shao Lan put his arm around Dai Yu''s shoulders and whispered something into her ear. He was telling her she shouldn''t drink anymore but who would have thought she would directly ce her leg over his thigh and beckoned him to take a shot for her.


    "If you don''t want me to drink then, then you should drink for me," she said with the tip of the shot ss by Shao Lan''s lip. The henpecked husband had no choice but to drink for her with his tender gaze sweeping over her face.


    "Oh god," said Machu covering the side of his face with his hand to block the scene of these two''s PDA. " You just called me here to suffer, didn''t you?"


    "Mn," replied an absentminded Qie Ranzhe, "he''s drunk too much. How about you tell Wen Danzhe to take him home?"


    Machu almost rolled his eyes as he took out his cellphone to text Wen Danzhe but the cellphone was obviously ignored because he couldn''t hear it.


    Tiao Ru handed a pretzel stick coated with chocte to Wen Qinxi but instead of taking it with his hands Wen Qinxi directly ate it.


    The nerd was smiling at him unabashedly with his arms wrapped around Wen Danzhe. "Oh my gosh, don''t you have hands?" asked Wen Danzhe seeing what his brother did.


    "They are busy, see," replied Wen Qinxi with their faces stered together, "keep theming or I will tell mum you took me clubbing." Thus the nerd had food ced in his mouth bossing around the three causing the tanker of vinegar to reach a critical level.


    What really pushed Qie Ranzhe to the edge was when Wen Qinxi started dancing. Wen Danzhe had tried to dissuade him but all Wen Qinxi had to do to deal with him was tap the shoulder of a beautiful girl and his Wen Danzhe problem was solved.


    His brother liked pretty girls which meant he temporarily let go of the leash he had around Wen Qinxi. With no one to stop him, Wen Qinxi climbed up the tform joining the dancing girls as his inner self that he restrained half the time came out. All those times of ying dance mania at the arcade seemed to have paid off.


    Wen Qinxi started off clumsily but this nerd got the hang of it. He was truly having fun that is until a wet nket was thrown at him. In his drunken stupor, he noticed Qie Ranzhe walked through the crowd and his eyes widened. "Oh shit," he muttered getting off that tform to thedies'' disappointment.


    He hid in the dark corner waiting for Qie Ranzhe to show up. The CEO was distractedly looking for him that it took him by surprise when he was suddenly pulled into the dark corner and mmed on the wall. He was about to shake the person off when he saw Wen Qinxi''s flushed face smiling at him.


    His hands slowly lowered with their gazes locked together. All the noise from the club disappeared into the background with the only sounding from his heart pounding hard against his chest.


    His ears were hot as his cor was suddenly clutched and his body pulled down before his lips were sealed by Wen Qinxi''s.

 Chapter 501: Drunk Tattoo

    Chapter 501: Drunk Tattoo


    Qie Ranzhe stiffened for a second as Wen Qinxi''s tonguesciviously licked his lips. A thrilling electric current struck his nerves making him lose his mind. His arm grasped Wen Qinxi''s waist drawing him closer to deepen the kiss. But just as he had a taste the person was suddenly taken away from him.


    "I leave you alone for two minutes and you are already all over him," said Wen Danzhe pulling his brother away, "that is a big bad wolf and he will eat you up till there is nothing left."


    Wen Qinxi looked back with a sweet smile. "Oh, I won''t mind. Come get me tiger..... *growl," replied Wen Qinxi almost breaking out of Wen Danzhe''s hold.


    "You are definitely drunk. Let''s go," he said dragging him out of the nightclub. He didn''t stop his brother when he climbed up that tform because he felt like Wen Qinxi was wound up tight for the better half of his life and needed this but when his brother vanished he panicked.


    He had just taken out his cellphone to call Wen Qinxi when he saw Machu''s text message which meant Qie Ranzhe had to be around. God forbid if he let those two leave together especially when his brother was that drunk. So he went around looking for him and sure enough, he found the two kissing like a pair of hormonal teens under the bleachers.


    If this CEO was to have his brother then he would have to work hard for it which is why he didn''t hesitate dragging Wen Qinxi away. A man had to work hard for what he wants and not have it handed to him on a silver tter.


    Qie Ranzhe could have followed them but his state of mind wasn''t right at the moment. This in a sense was their first kiss and boy, was it mind-blowing. He was suddenly hit by an intense euphoric sensation like when you set off fireworks.


    Wen Qinxi smelled so good and the intense fruity taste in his mouth from the cocktail made Qie Ranzhe want to taste more of the sweetness with his tongue. Wen Qinxi''s enthusiasm drove him crazy but before he could press him against the wall and indulge, the person was suddenly taken away from him.


    He had to make this nerd his boyfriend soon otherwise who knows what he might do if he gets rejected.


    While Qie Ranzhe was ckening in a dark corner, Wen Qinxi was shoved into the car by his brother. As soon as the four of them reached Wen Qinxi''s apartment, they got off but before they knew it the culprit vanished.


    Wen Qinxi had his body stered on the ss window of the tattoo parlour that was still open. The street in his neighbourhood was still lively as they had left the nightclub just after eight pm. "I want one," said the drunk Wen Qinxi before pulling the door to enter, "Shop keeper I want one..... right here," he said taking off his overcoat.


    "Sorry, he had a bit much," apologised Wen Danzhe as he pulled Wen Qinxi''s overcoat back up.


    "No, no I want it. I am older so you have to listen to me," replied a stubborn Wen Qinxi shaking Wen Danzhe off. It seemed the dozens of cocktails he had, made him forget his fear of pain. He wanted a tattoo and no one not even Wen Danzhe could stop him.


    Pai Dui also lifted his sleeve and said, "Me too. I want a cute puppy."


    "Oh, ca-can I have mine on my waist or inside my thigh? I think it would look nice," said Wen Qinxi lifting his sweater again.


    But Wen Danzhe stood his ground and refused. "You are not having a tattoo on those ces otherwise I will tell mum," he said staring at his stubborn brother coldly. The amount of regret would be intensified if Wen Qinxi had that on his waist let alone his thigh.


    Taio Ru just stood there putting the car keys in his pocket like this had nothing to do with him. So the two stood as the tattoo artist gave these stubborn people what they want.


    Wen Qinxi was surprisingly fearless when drunk. He didn''t even flinch, unlike Pai Dui who was crying the entire time. Once it was done Wen Danzhe grabbed him to leave but Wen Qinxi refused to budge saying he wants his ear pierced.


    This man was incredibly docile when he was sober but when he was drunk he was a whole new person as stubborn as Mahatma Gandhi. But at least Mahatma Gandhi''s stubborn nature was to attain freedom, unlike Wen Qinxi who was fighting for an ear-piercing.


    Wen Danzhe let him do it but as soon as it was done he literally carried him out after taking care of the bill. "Wah!! Look they can tattoo dragons," said Wen Qinxi as he was being carried like a sack of potatoes out of that tattoo parlour.


    "No, you better not think about it..... so troublesome,"ined Wen Danzhe carrying him up to the apartment.


    The four of them sat down in the lounge and feasted on some pizza and beer while watching a movie. It might have seemed a bit excessive but that was what Wen Qinxi needed as shown two hourster. When the others had passed out and he finally opened up to his brother.


    The alcohol made him open up to what he had been going through ever since he came out of gship. He couldn''t keep repressing his feelings like this otherwise he would lose his mind.


    Wen Danzhe listened attentively but one thing that echoed in his mind before his brother passed out were the words, "I love him. I love him to death and I will do anything for him."


    He hadn''t personally experienced the emotions of loving someone so he couldn''t understand how his brother was feeling. What he didn''t want was his brother to get hurt.


    Now that he knew Wen Qinxi had settled on Qie Ranzhe, it was time they stop ying games and he had a serious discussion with Qie Ranzhe. Well, that''s after ying one more game. He picked up his cellphone and texted Machu.


    Two streets over, Machu had just returned to the car after helping Shao Lan open the door as the man was carrying his drunk rowdy wife when he received a notification. He took out his cellphone and opened the message.


    DannyBoy: Qi-ge got a tattoo (grinning face).


    His eyes widened and he slowly looked up to Qie Ranzhe. "What?" asked Qie Ranzhe sitting in the driver''s seat.


    "Um... Gecko got a tattoo," he said with a bewildered expression.


    Qie Ranzhe grabbed Machu''s cellphone and read the message. "But he is afraid of pain?"


    Machu shrugged his shoulders as he watched Qie Ranzhe respond to the texts which Wen Danzhe ignored.


    His cellphone kept buzzing but he deliberately ignored it with a naughty smile on his face. He couldn''t wait for his brother to wake up. It was bound to be a fun morning.

 Chapter 502: Tattoo or Branding?

    Chapter 502: Tattoo or Branding?


    "AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!! What the fuck! Dan! Shit..... Dan, get the fuck in here!" were Wen Qinxi''s screams echoing in the bathroom after waking up.


    Bang! Bang!


    "Hey! Shut the hell up. Some of us are trying to sleep," were the faint soundsing from the apartment that shared a wall with his. Because the walls were thin they had heard all the vulgaritiesing from Wen Qinxi''s mouth.


    "Shit, shit, shit..... fuck," swore Wen Qinxi looking at the tattoo on his shoulder. It was clearly written Qie Ranzhe in Chinese characters and it hurt so much just looking at it.


    The pain from the tattoopletely overshadowed the pain from the ear piercing that he hadn''t taken notice of as yet. Mainly because the clip-on stud earring was the same as the one the tattoo parlour gave to him when they pierced his ear.


    Wen Danzhe had been fast asleep but when he heard Wen Qinxi bellowing from the bathroom, he fell off the bed as he woke up with a jolt. In his half-sleep, he thought someone had broken into the apartment so he ran over grabbing anything he could find to fend off the intruder.


    He entered the bathroom while holding the umbre in an offensive stance ready to kick someone''s ass. Wen Qinxi turned his cold gaze towards him and ignored the umbre that was being held like a spear. He pointed at the tattoo and said, "And then?"


    Wen Danzhe finally remembered and felt a bit regretful. He should have been awake to see his brother''s initial reaction. He leaned against the doorframe casually cing the umbre over his shoulder. "You staged a one-man protest to get that..... seriously, I admire your tenacity," he said as the other two finally reached the bathroom door.


    Tiao Ru rubbed his eyes and said, "Qi-ge, he is right. You even yed the I am older card and wouldn''t leave until you get that tattoo."


    Pai Dui''s messy bird''s nest head peeked from the side and said, "Even with the ear-piercing you were like a toddler throwing a fit so how could Dan-ge stop you? Look, I also got one and the guy really did a great job," partially pulling down his boxer shorts to reveal the tiny pit bull.


    Wen Qinxi panickingly leaned closer to the mirror with his head turned to the side slightly. His ear was a little red and when he bent his ear he almost cried out. "Tsk..... argh! This is fucked up," he murmured as the other two left offering some encouragement.


    "Qi-ge, it looks nice. No regrets there," said Taio Ru before going back to sleep on the couch.


    "At least you didn''t have it on your thigh or waist like you wanted," said Pai Dui before darting away.


    Wen Qinxi''s jaw dropped hearing that and felt like pping himself but of course, they would be light ps because he was still afraid of pain. "Yep, you wanted to brand your inner thigh with Qie Ranzhe''s name. I suddenly understand what you meant when you said you would do anything for him," said Wen Danzhe with a throaty chuckle.


    "Oh god..... Get me some strong meds otherwise I am going to fuckin faint from the pain," said Wen Qinxi feeling rather upset. This is why he and strong liquor shouldn''t mix. Next time he might wake up in a slutty cat outfit in Qie Ranzhe''s bedroom after breaking in. Just imagining himself in a sleazy outfit climbing through Qie Ranzhe''s bedroom window gave him a headache.


    "Mn," replied Wen Danzhe before walking away with the umbre in his hand. He took out painkillers from the kitchen drawer while contemting whether to tell Wen Qinxi about the kissst night.


    He filled a ss with warm water and walked over to the bathroom. "Do you want me to order breakfast? You must have a pretty bad hangover and I can''t let you cook," he suggested handing him the pills.


    "Mn," replied Wen Qinxi after taking the pills, "I need something stronger than aspirin."


    Wen Danzhe nodded his head and said, "Sorted.... oh and I will order the cream the tattoo artist rmended. Don''t forget to wash it gently at least three times today," taking out medical gauze from the sink base cab.


    Wen Qinxi thanked him with his eyes still studying the tattoo. "People really do a lot of dumb shit when they are drunk," said Wen Qinxi feeling very stupid.


    He had just branded himself with Qie Ranzhe''s name and if they don''t end up together then wouldn''t that mean he would be single for the rest of his life. Who would want a man with another person''s name tattooed on their body? Talk about setting oneself for a life of loneliness.


    Wen Danzhe chuckled before he left the bathroom. "Just don''t let mum see it," he said in a mocking tone.


    This regret weighed down on Wen Qinxi''s shoulders till he had to go back to work on Monday. He wrapped himself up like a dumpling stepping into the chilly weather. Everything apart from his eyes were covered. Maybe it was because of the cold or he just didn''t want anyone to recognize him as he walked into the office building. Because Taio Ru had identally stepped on his contact lens he waspelled to wear his thick-framed sses making him look cute.


    He managed to slip into his office without anyone noticing him. The trials for gship were about to start with famous game anchors scheduled toe and give the gaming capsules a go. Wen Qinxi busied himself polishing the software.


    Two hourster his office phone rang and he answered it without taking his eyes off the monitor. The familiar sweet voice caused his friendly attitude to change drastically. Who else could it be other than Li Menxie?


    "What?" he asked still typing random numbers and symbols that weren''t random in the slightest.


    Li Menxie''s lip twitched in anger but she held back and said, "CEO Qie said you shoulde up to his office in the next ten minutes."


    Wen Qinxi''s typing action paused nervously biting the inner lining of his mouth. He knew he had to go see him but he just wasn''t ready. If he only knew he had kissed Qie Ranzhe at the night club he would have yed the I am sick card to stall for time.


    "I.... um, I am working on something important so can we reschedule for tomorrow morning, no no tomorrow afternoon," he said trying to calm himself down.


    A look of disdain appeared on Li Menxie''s face as she put him on hold before knocking on Qie Ranzhe''s door. Having gotten permission to enter she opened the door and her expression abruptly changed to a radiant glow as she conveyed Wen Qinxi''s response. "Sir, Mr Wen said he is busy so should I reschedule the meeting for tomorrow afternoon?"


    Qie Ranzhe who had his head lowered suddenly grinned like a malicious spirit and said, "Tell him that if he is not up here in ten minutes I am going toe down there and get him."


    "Yes," she replied as a sour feeling rose to her throat. She closed the door and conveyed the message.

 Chapter 503: Same Mistake Twice

    Chapter 503: Same Mistake Twice


    Five minutester Wen Qinxi was already standing in Qie Ranzhe''s office breathing heavily as he had been running. How could he let mount Taie to him? It can only attract trouble.


    Qie Ranzhe''s eyes brightened when he saw him. He was almost drooling ogling the nerd he fell in love with. Wen Qinxi looked especially appetising in those sses that he wanted to push him down on his desk and ravish him till he begged for mercy.


    "Sit," he said pointing at the couch on the other side of the office with his lips quirked up into a subtle smile. His heart was pounding hard against his chest as he took out a contract from the safe.


    Wen Qinxi wasn''t fairing any better nervously rubbing his index finger with his thumb under his sleeve. He had done all sorts of things with this man but now that they were out of the game he couldn''t do anything he wanted. Qie Ranzhe was back to being the CEO of a bigpany and he an insignificant nerd who locked himself up in his bat cave for an entire day.


    Qie Ranzhe ambled over and sat in the chair next to Wen Qinxi with their knees almost touching. "How was the hangover?" asked Qie Ranzhe cing the contract on the coffee table.


    Wen Qinxi was confused by the question which was evident on his face. He couldn''t figure out how Qie Ranzhe knew he partied a little too much two days ago. "I.... ah.... how did you know?" he asked hesitantly while recalling the tattoo on his shoulder that suddenly felt painful.


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t answer instead biting his lower lip with his gaze lingering on Wen Qinxi''s face. It turns out this little bunny forgot that provocative kiss in the dark corner.


    "Huh? Okay.... let''s discuss itter. Take a look and sign it," he said before standing up to get Wen Qinxi a cup of warm water. It was quite chilly today and he didn''t want his sweetheart to fall ill. Wen Qinxi received the cup of water not at all realising what was wrong with this situation. If anyone walked in and saw this they would question who exactly is the boss between them.


    "Thanks," he said but the moment he drank the first sip he spat it out after reading the contents of the contract. "Oh god..... I am so sorry," he said about to grab a tissue to wipe the table but his hand was suddenly grasped stopping him.


    "I will do it. Just keep reading," said Qie Ranzhe as his gaze swept Wen Qinxi''s face.


    Wen Qinxi hurriedly looked away with the tips of his ears turning red. He felt his heart beating fast hoping this man would never let go. Was he really asking for too much?


    Qie Ranzhe eventually let go of his hand wiping away the water and Wen Qinxi''s eyes lowered reading the contract. The words were as clear as day. Qie Ranzhe was offering him half his shares in thepany. That is to say, Wen Qinxi would own 25% of this estimated 200 billion RMBpany. This was a little too much for this simple nerd.


    "I.... this.....," he stammered but Qie Ranzhe ced his index finger on his lip while tossing the paper towels in the bin.


    "If it weren''t for you I would still be trapped in the game unless you are saying my life isn''t worth that much?...," he said before sitting next to Wen Qinxi on the couch with barely any distance between them. He had put off asking Wen Qinxi to be his boyfriend for this very reason.


    If they started dating Wen Qinxi might refuse the shares on the basis that they were in a rtionship. Since their current rtionship right now was employee and employer Wen Qinxi would have no reason to reject him.


    "If it''s not enough then I can only give myself to you and make up for everything you did for me in that game," he said with his phoenix eyes locked on Wen Qinxi. He leaned in closer and said, "If you don''t sign then how about you show me your tattoo."


    Wen Qinxi, "....."


    The nerd felt his heart sink at the pit of his stomach as he hurriedly picked up the pen on the coffee table and signed as fast as humanly possible not even bothering to review some of the terms written in there. Talk about making the same mistake twice. He should have learnt from past experience to read the entire contract first before signing.


    As expected, Qie Ranzhe took the contract immediately and said, "I will personally make copies after getting it notarized."


    Wen Qinxi felt something was wrong but he had no time to scrutinize the situation because of Qie Ranzhe''s next words. "So where is it?" asked Qie Ranzhe with his heated gaze sweeping over Wen Qinxi''s entire body.


    Being stared at like that Wen Qinxi couldn''t help but blush with his heart pounding against his chest. This exactly why he didn''t want to see Qie Ranzhe. He wouldn''t be able to resist the urge to jump him and vent out his repressed desires. ''How hateful,'' he thought moving away a few inches.


    "Don''t you think you should take responsibility?" said Qie Ranzhe ogling at the man he was enamoured with.


    ''What responsibility? If anyone should be taking responsibility it should be this CEO, okay?'' thought Wen Qinxi with a befuddled expression.


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t seem to mind touching his own lips with his finger. "For kissing me at the nightclub. I am not asking for you to let me kiss you in return..... I just want to see your tattoo. Are you refusing because it''s.....," he said lowering his gaze to the man''s crotch.


    Wen Qinxi''s brow furrowed as he uttered, "Hell no," while covering his crotch area. He was beyond saving. Even when he was drunk he still managed to eat Qie Ranzhe''s tofu and the sad part was that he had no recollection of it.


    "Then show me," said Qie Ranzhe but the door was suddenly knocked saving this nerd. He was so desperate for freedom that he just stood up and ran letting the person in before saving himself.


    Mama Qie almost got a heart attack with the sudden opening of the door. She watched the somewhat familiar figure flee the scene of the crime in astonishment. "I have seen that face before but...," she said but paused when she met her son''s look of displeasure, "who offended you? You look exactly like when Dai Yu robbed you of your hot wheels in preschool.... hahaha good times."


    She sat on the couch while setting her handbag on the floor. "Who robbed you this time,'' she said with her attention drawn to the contract on the table. She could recognize what it was from a first nce as she herself had signed an almost simr contract when she got divorced.


    "Are you nning on buying someone''s shares?" she said as her slender fingers reached for the document. But before she could touch the document it was suddenly taken away before he locked it into his safe.


    "I can''t tell you yet," he said with his stern expression rxing a little deciding to go hunting for his preyter.

 Chapter 504: Henpecked Husbands Double Standards

    Chapter 504: Henpecked Husband''s Double Standards


    Under Qie Ranzhe''s constant provocation, Wen Qinxi felt the heat in his body rise sharply that his face was as red as a tomato by the time he ran out of that office. He had to calm himself down otherwise he wouldn''t be able to get any work done.


    He was in such a rush that he didn''t pay attention to the person who was knocking on the door. Wen Qinxi ducked into the fifth-floor bathroom and sshed his face with some cold water to cool himself down.


    After sshing his face a couple of times he stared at himself in the mirror with his hands on either side of the sink. His damp eyshes fluttered as drops of water flowed down his face. But on closer inspection, it turned out that some of the so-called water droplets were actually tears.


    A self-deprecating smile appeared on his handsome face as a wave ofplicated feelings surged within him. He could clearly see that Qie Ranzhe liked him or at least believed he did. But the scene in the hospital constantly reyed in his mind making him anxious.


    Was Qie Ranzhe a g man? Was he the kind of guy who would y on two ying fields? Wen Qinxi didn''t want to be the man''s expensive male pet who sold his precious chrysanthemum for a quarter of a multi-billionpany.


    He knew he should take a step back and stay as far away from Qie Ranzhe since the man was still entangled with Zhao Huangzhi but he couldn''t do it. Wen Qinxi had never felt the urge to fight this hard for someone.


    He always mocked the dog blood dramas where the cannon fodder brainlessly screwed with the female lead for the male lead but now he had be one of them in a short span of time. Wen Qinxi took a tissue paper and wiped his face before putting his sses back on. He had to find out how to remove this tattoo otherwise each time he looked at his shoulder his heart would break.


    While Wen Qinxi was consulting the only other person who knew more about tattoos than him, Qie Ranzhe was faced with his mother''s probing gaze. "What?" he asked as his secretary ced a steaming cup of coffee on the table.


    Yes, he would make a cup of warm water for Wen Qinxi but would let his secretary make his mother a cup of coffee. If she knew her son was a henpecked husband who had already handed over half his shares to his future wife how would she react?


    "So you aren''t going to tell me who you are buying out or... are you selling some of your shares?" she asked but as soon as her words fell Li Menxie''s hand shook spilling some of the coffee on the counter. She had a little suspicion that these shares weren''t sold but gifted to a certain someone.The two tyrants stared at her as she hurriedly apologized while cleaning the mess.


    "Leave..... and don''t forget to take the coffee with you. I don''t want it anymore," said Dai Lee feeling dissatisfied, "it''s truly hard to find good help these days."


    Qie Ranzhe didn''tment. Who knows what was going on with his mother today. "I will tell you when it''s time..... anyway, what brings you here?" he asked fully aware that his mother didn''t trot over to have a cup of coffee.


    "Fine, don''t tell me. Your father called saying something about setting up a meeting with you. He wants you toe over to the Qie Mansion for the spring festival since yourst name is still Qie..... hahaha can you believe the nerve that man has?" she said with a mocking smile.


    Qie Ranzhe''s jaw tightened restraining himself. What else could that bastard want except to use him? They hadn''t dealt with each other for almost a decade so why now? He was about to refuse when his mother said, "ording to use 38.1 of the divorce agreement I am meant to make you meet your father whenever he summons you otherwise you will be stripped of your legal right to the Qie group shares."


    Qie Ranzhe chuckled in amusement. It''s funny that his father thought he cared so much for such little money. This is exactly why he built an empire so that man wouldn''t have any control over his life. "Well, then he can go fuck himself. There is no way in hell I am ever stepping into that house."


    Dai Lee smiled and leaned closer to her son seated opposite her. "That''s my boy. Stay as far away as possible from them so I can be at ease," she said pinching his cheek like she used to do when he was young, "now how about you gift me with a daughter inw so this spring festival it won''t be just us?"


    Qie Ranzhe, "....."


    "It''s never just us. Dai Yu and Shao Lan are always there causing trouble. And your sister as well so what''s this talk of being alone? That''s enough people as it is," he said unwilling to introduce her to Wen Qinxi as yet. He had to hog his bunny first before he would have to share him with everyone else.


    In the game, he had to share with Qie Xieling for three worlds straight. He hadn''t spent enough time with Wen Qinxi so why would he want to share him with all those rtives?


    Qie Ranzhe soon managed to drive his mother away iming he had a lot of work to do. This daughter inw talk was driving him nuts that he simply wanted to get rid of her. As soon as his mother left, he received a call from one of his men concerning Ba Gua.


    There had been reports about the disappearance of Ba Gua which were blowing up online. Qie Ranzhe knew this was all smoke and mirrors created by Qie Anzhie to cause trouble.


    This was the reason why he didn''t kill Ba Gua because his brother nned to have the programmer''s family use him of murder which would, in turn, cause trouble for hispany. Unfortunately for Qie Anzhie, he was dealing with a master maniptor.


    He might not have killed Ba Gua but his method of dealing with him was especially ruthless. ording to his instructions, Ba Gua was ditched in a cheap motel across the country high on whatever drug his bodyguards could find and threw him in an orgy with a bunch of women. When the police found him he was as high as a kite and assaulted the female police officer in the process.


    While he was locked up he received an envelope with pictures of his deeds in his birthday suit with a video attached. He was about to im he been framed but if these images got out then he''s basically a dead man. His wife would divorce him and he would lose everything.


    There was no way Ba Gua was talking. He had already been granted amnesty and the next time he might not be so lucky.

 Chapter 505: Vinegar Drinking Season

    Chapter 505: Vinegar Drinking Season


    Because he had been arrested in a different province, Qie Anzhie thought he was dead and had someone incite the Ba family to cause trouble at GameX.


    "Send apany representative to let them know that we found him," he said before cutting the call. He leaned back in his chair sighing. As the saying goes heavy is the head that wears the crown. It was indeed heavy and he wanted to go see his queen to offload.


    Wen Qinxi on the other hand, was in the gaming room arguing with the system for no good reason. He still had a score to settle with the system and had to transfer the money that Jolie cheated out of Xia Bai, Hei Bao and Machu for the so-calledpanion.


    He was like a parent returning money to the kids his son bullied. It was these kinds of moments that made him miss Qie Xieling. He would swap out the system for Qie Xieling anyday.


    "You are lucky I didn''t turn you into a smart toilet so please shut up for me," he said typing something in the disy, "The trial begins next week, right?"


    Hei Bao screwed back the lid of his water bottle while saying, "Yep, I heard that they are bringing in famous anchors like that Zheng guy. He''s pretty cool."


    Xia Bai wasn''t too pleased that Hei Bao was praising others so he asked, "How about me?" ogling at him making Hei Bao''s face heat up.


    Wen Qinxi wanted to say ''just fucking date already'' but his mind was stuck on the name Zheng. That name caused goosebumps all over his body. God forbid if it''s Kai Zheng.


    "You are obviously cooler than Kai Zheng. You create games and he just ys them so of course, the creator is god," replied Hei Bao not daring to look straight at him with the word bashful written all over his face.


    "Kai Zheng?" asked Wen Qinxi feeling a little shaken. He truly hoped that ass hole was as straight as a steel pipe otherwise who knows if there would be a repeat of what happened in the game.


    "Mn, do you want me to send you a link to his live stream?" asked Xia Bai noticing something off about Wen Qinxi.


    "Nope," replied Wen Qinxi before pulling Hei Bao to the side with his arms wrapped around the man''s shoulders, "I have something to ask you."


    This earned him a ferocious reing from Xia Bai but Wen Qinxi didn''t give a damn. "You have a tattoo on your belly, don''t you?" asked Wen Qinxi in a whisper.


    Hei Bao''s brows creased wondering when Wen Qinxi saw it but before he could ask Wen Qinxi said, "Team building weekst year..... and I am not a pervert."


    "But that''s what perverts usually say," said Hei Bao seeming a little vexed.


    Wen Qinxi''s lips twitched staring at Hei Bao like he was looking at an idiot. He wanted to pinch him in retaliation but he still needed help so he restrained himself. "I got a tattoo when I was drunk and I want to remove it so what should I do?" asked Wen Qinxi through gritted teeth. It had to go before he gave in to Qie Ranzhe''s persuasion.


    Hei Bao gasped and whispered, "You have really changed. I thought you can''t stand pain or did the CEO fuck the fear out of you in gship?"


    Okay, this time Wen Qinxi couldn''t restrain himself. He pinched the side of Hei Bao''s waist making him yelp out. One can only imagine Xia Bai''s expression right now. He looked like he was part of the 300 ready for war.


    "Laser tattoo removal. That''s your best bet," he said rubbing the spot he had been pinched.


    "Is it painful?" asked Wen Qinxi. If it is painful then he could only chicken out.


    "Yes, it hurts like a son of a bitch," replied Jolie who had no business eavesdropping on their conversation.


    "Wait, what hurts?" asked Xia Bai dropping whatever he was doing to listen in.


    "Jolie, just stay out of it otherwise I will have your avatar changed into a dog," said Wen Qinxi before turning back to Hei Bao, "is it that bad?"


    "Mn, very painful the first time but it gets better over time..... let see what it looks like," said Hei Bao pulling up Wen Qinxi''s sweater out of curiosity, "show me the size so I can see if it would hurt."


    "No, seriously.... you can''t," replied Wen Qinxi feeling like a maiden that was asked to strip naked in public.


    Do me a favour and imagine this situation without visuals. This conversation could be interpreted in plenty of ways but to Qie Ranzhe who was standing outside, it had one meaning.


    In the CEO''s mind, this harmless conversation about a tattoo that came to being due to a drunken mistake was converted to Wen Qinxi wanting to drill Hei Bao and Hei Bao wanting to see the size to know if it would hurt. What made it worse was the fact that he only arrived halfway through the conversation.


    The two were so caught up in their tug of war that they didn''t notice the other two people wearing ugly expressions. When Wen Qinxi finally noticed Qie Ranzhe his heart skipped a beat and he almost cried out, "Mummy."


    Qie Ranzhe''s expression was ice cold with an aura that could have wild animals fleeing the forest to save their lives. He didn''t utter a word but gestured with his head for Wen Qinxi to remove his hand from Hei Bao.


    Wen Qinxi pursed his lips and mindlessly let go. Qie Ranzhe didn''t say anything else as he walked away just like that. The gaming room fell into an awkward silence with the smell of gunpowder lingering in the air.


    It was Jolie who broke the ice. "Oh shit! I think you need to go and coax the boss otherwise you are all going to work overtime," said the system wishing it had melon seeds to pair with this good show.


    "Coax who.... he is not my boyfriend," said Wen Qinxi. Well, that''s what he said but internally he was freaking out like a dog before the storm. He might be freaking out but he wasn''t going to coax anyone. Let''s take it as payback for the hospital incident.


    The system was right, Qie Ranzhe needed coaxing but the person he wanted to be coaxed by didn''t follow him. He deliberately slowed his steps at some point considering Wen Qinxi''s legs weren''t as long as his but even then Wen Qinxi didn''t show up.


    The only one who benefited so far was Xia Bai who scored dinner and a sleepover from Hei Bao to coax him. Even though Hei Bao felt Wen Qinxi''s ''coax who.... he is not my boyfriend'' statement was true he couldn''t stand Xia Bai being angry with him so he coaxed and coaxed which would be his biggest regretter. *wink *wink.

 Chapter 506: How To Coax A Lover

    Chapter 506: How To Coax A Lover


    There is nothing as painful as when your angry partner ices you out when you make them upset. Your first response would be ''I don''t care they can go suck on a crouton for all I care'' but ten minutester the tune changes to ''why aren''t they saying anything yet?''


    And when they stubbornly keep their mouths shut for an entire day it feels like your heart is being shredded into pieces inside a wood chipper. You finally relent and say ''you know what, I am just going to talk about it'' hoping they would have cooled down by then.


    This is exactly the emotional rollercoaster Qie Ranzhe went through with the only difference being that it happened in just under two hours. He went from ''I should be the one to be coaxed'' to ''damnit, we have to talk about it'' in less than 120 minutes.


    Wen Qinxi on the other hand had closed himself off inside his office doing some serious work. It''s not that he didn''t care that Qie Ranzhe was mad at him but they really didn''t have a rtionship so what was he upset about? Besides he was tired of doing the chasing.


    To distract himself he focused on his work with a serious attitude. He was busying himself with his work when he heard the card reader outside make a beeping sound. Other than himself no one else had ess to his office as the projects he worked on were confidential so this situation was out of the ordinary.


    He furrowed his brow as he turned his attention to the door. That''s when it hit him. Who else could get in here besides himself? The answer to this riddle was so obvious that he almost jumped out of his seat in anxiety.


    It seemed mount Tai dide to him after all and judging from the noiseing from the outside the great buddha had stirred up a storm. "What tha....," he said but when he saw the paper bag with a restaurant logo on it, he fell speechless. Qie Ranzhe actually bought him lunch and the entire floor saw it.


    Now everyone is going to believe that those rumours were true. He really was the CEO''s kept man otherwise how would he exin the boss personally delivering lunch to him. Wen Qinxi felt like banging his head on the wall and just end it here.


    He turned back to hisputer with the swing of his swivel office chair ignoring him. Qie Ranzhe could now understand what Machu meant earlier when he said that his temper had changed drastically or maybe it was just towards this angry little bunny. If it was anyone else he would have chewed their head off by now.


    He calmly ced the paper bag on the desk right next to Wen Qinxi with his gaze on the nerd. Wen Qinxi felt the side of his face burn from that boring gaze and couldn''t resist asking, "What?" without raising his head.


    "Are you mad?" asked Qie Ranzhe sitting at the corner of the desk with his arms leisurely folded across his chest.


    Wen Qinxi didn''t respond feelingdistracted to the point that he messed up his coding twice. He bit his lower lip as he gave up for now. As long as this man was around no work would be done.


    He was about to ask what he bought when Qie Ranzhe suddenly stood up and spun that chair around with his hands on the armrest. Without giving Wen Qinxi enough time to respond he leaned down and kissed him.


    Not the innocent ''I want to hold hands with you in the park'' type of kiss but the ''I am going to fuck you'' kind. Qie Ranzhe licked his lips urging him to open his mouth. Wen Qinxi leaned backwards to try and escape but his mouth was so obedient letting Qie Ranzhe inside rent-free.


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t intend on letting him off following him as he deepened the kiss. Wen Qinxi''s lips were as soft as thest time and the taste exceeded his expectations. He couldn''t help himself with his hand finding its way at the nape of Wen Qinxi''s neck.


    He nned on a short kiss but who would have thought Wen Qinxi would be so enthusiastic with his hands grasping the sides of the man''s chest in a tight grip. A rush of hormones had their bodies heating up with their hot breaths brushing up against each other''s skin.


    It was clear these two were in heat at first nce. If it weren''t for Qie Ranzhe''s cellphone ringing they could have already stripped each other naked by now. Wen Qinxi was suddenly brought back to earth by that loud ringtone so he abruptly ended the kiss and said, "Your phone," while breathing a little heavy, "it might be important."


    Qie Ranzhe who had his head leaning against Wen Qinxi''s neck grumbled before standing up straight. He took out his cellphone while caressing the back of Wen Qinxi''s neck in a gentle yet possessive manner. When he saw the caller ID he frowned in displeasure and cut the call before cing the number on his cklist without any hesitation. It was none other than his pathetic excuse of a father.


    He suddenly leaned down after that and kissed Wen Qinxi''s cheek while whispering, "How about we carry on with what we were doing?" with his lips working their way to Wen Qinxi''s.


    Wen Qinxi hurriedly covered his lips with no hesitation. If they carry on like this he might lose his physical virginity in this office. As for his mental virginity, he had lost that a long time ago in the game.


    Qie Ranzhe wasn''t deterred by the hand in fact, he started kissing and licking it with a fiendish smile on his face.


    Wen Qinxi felt a wildfire break out in his pants that he had to stretch out his hand to stop Qie Ranzhe. His handnded on Qie Ranzhe''s chest which didn''t do him any favours. Qie Ranzhe grinned maliciously as he ced his hand over Wen Qinxi''s while rubbing it with his thumb.


    "It seems my baby is impatient," said Qie Ranzhe in a deepscivious voice making Wen Qinxi retract his hand.


    "Who the fuck is your baby?" replied Wen Qinxi wondering how things escted from sitting shoulder to shoulder just this morning to kissing passionately in his bat cave. "Why did you even kiss me... you do realise that that''s a true definition of sexual harassment?" said Wen Qinxi turning his chair around.


    Qie Ranzhe ced his hands on the desk sandwiching Wen Qinxi in between. He sniffed his hair that had a subtle fragrance of citrus which he liked. "I changed my mind. I wanted to return the kiss you gave me the other night," with an imperceptible smile on his face.


    "No returns or refunds. You should have read the terms and conditions," uttered Wen Qinxi feeling rather bashful being enveloped in Qie Ranzhe''s arms. He was truly grateful that no one else had ess to his office otherwise someone might budge in and witnessed this blush-inducing scene.

    Chapter 507: Sitting On The CEO''s Lap


    Qie Ranzhe couldn''t help himself this time. Heughed unrestrainedly with the vibrations from his chest directly transferring to Wen Qinxi''s back making him feel embarrassed. He covered his face with his hands hiding his flushed face.


    Even as Qie Ranzhe unpacked the food he brought over for Wen Qinxi, he was stillughing. If he couldugh like this every day it would be awesome.


    "Here,e eat before you get back to work," he said taking out stewed mutton with radishes, "I know you like spicy food but it won''t be good if you eat it for lunch so I got this." He presented the bento in front of Wen Qinxi before looking around for a ce to sit but there wasn''t.


    Wen Qinxi stood up and offered him his seat which Qie Ranzhe dly epted. The only problem was that Wen Qinxi was just being polite. He would have preferred it if Qie Ranzhe would leave his office early so that he wouldn''t be misunderstood by the entire department.


    What happened next waspletely unexpected. Qie Ranzhe grabbed his waist and directed him to sit on hisp. Wen Qinxi wanted to refuse but his tooshie on the other hand was as obedient as a patient high on morphine.


    Qie Ranzhe smiled sweetly as he said, "If you spill anything on me I would only be forced to change clothes. Would you let me borrow your hoodie," tugging at Wen Qinxi''s hoodie. These words held a deeper meaning that even an old granny with a hearing aid could deduce what he meant. He meant to see Wen Qinxi''s tattoo once that hoodie rode up his body. Who could me him? He was incredibly curious.


    Wen Qinxi wanted to stand up and separate himself from this shameless pervert but his waist was pulled tightly till his ear was right by Qie Ranzhe''s lips. "You are only allowed to do this with me. If anyonees to your office direct them to the conference room next door. Do you understand?" he whispered with his intense gaze sweeping over Wen Qinxi''s face.


    Of course, Wen Qinxi understood what he was saying. Because his office had only one chair for himself his visitors would have nowhere left to sit and the way they were sitting right now was only reserved for Qie Ranzhe.


    The problem with that was they weren''t boyfriends so he took this threat as a suggestion. He was about to p back with, "You are not my boyfriend," but Qie Ranzhe''s stern expression had him swallowing back those words. He nodded his head as though underpulsion by the vampire Qie Ranzhe.


    Qie Ranzhe smiled happily and kissed the man''s cheek. "How about you feed me? My hands are upied," he said rubbing Wen Qinxi''s waist with an obvious hint of lust in his eyes.


    Wen Qinxi wanted to refuse but he was bound to be on the losing side. Let''s just say forty minutester, the CEO walked out of Wen Qinxi''s office with a duchenne smile like he won the lottery making the employees gobsmacked. This piece of gossip spread like a wildfire by the end of the workday. Everyone was looking at him strangely by the time he left the office.


    He ignored their rude gazes and left work without saying anything to Qie Ranzhe. He had already been subjected to so much stimtion today that any more would cause his smart brain to short circuit.


    While Wen Qinxi was heading home, Qie Ranzhe had already arrived at his family home. He came over to pick up a few things but what he didn''t expect to see was Zhao Huangzhi and his mother sitting together in the lounge.


    Judging from Zhao Huangzhi''s reaction, she wasn''t expecting him to be here. This meant this meeting was a secret that wasn''t meant to be disclosed to him. Qie Ranzhe ambled over and kissed his mother''s cheekpletely ignoring Zhao Huangzhi.


    Dai Lee thought her son would sit down and probably have dinner with her but he just walked towards the stairs without saying anything else. "Where are you going? Why haven''t you said hello to Huan-er?" said Dai Lee.


    She knew something happened between the two of them but from Zhao Huangzhi''s version, it sounded like something trivial. She knew her son was as stubborn as a billy goat so she decided to intermediate.


    Qie Ranzhe''s footsteps paused with his gaze falling on Zhao Huangzhi who obviously had been crying. Her heart jolted thinking he was finally looking at her but that death re meant it wasn''t anything good.


    Qie Ranzhe walked back with killing intent apparent in his eyes but Dai Lee was still trying to reunite this pair of lovers so she didn''t notice the obvious hostility. She said, "You aren''t young anymore. You have to discuss this like adults."


    He stood at the end of the stairs and replied, "Do you know what she said to me when she rejected my proposal? Did she tell you about it?"


    Dai Lee had suspected that her son nned to propose but she didn''t think he actually did. She didn''t even have time to celebrate that her son was ready to settle down because of the word rejected.


    Zhao Huangzhi shook her head biting her lower lip aggrievedly. "I wasn''t, wasn''t in my right mind. It wa-was my father who made me," she stammered looking pitiful.


    Qie Ranzhe chuckled and said, "She said she was only dating me because you begged her not to leave me."


    Dai Lee''s head abruptly turned to face Zhao Huangzhi with a contemptuous look. "What? Did you say that to him?"


    Zhao Huangzhi didn''t think things would go down this path. She tried to defend herself but Qie Ranzhe wouldn''t give her a chance. "Not only that but I know she is the one who sent you the ck material about me in high school. I was so stupid before but not anymore," he said before turning to leave. He had more important things to do and Zhao Huangzhi wasn''t his problem anymore.


    He let her go on ount of their past but if she dares to make one more move he wouldn''t hesitate to bankrupt the Zhao family. This could count as herst chance.


    From upstairs he could hear his mother screaming at Zhao Huangzhi calling her vulgar names. He crouched down to open his safe and took out a box smaller than the size of a shoebox. A radiant smile appeared on his face as he opened it. Inside was a pair of silver nes he bought in high school. One had a lock and the other had a key attached to it.


    He lifted them both up with indescribable emotions in his eyes. Just then he heard a loud resounding p followed by Zhao Huangzhi''s scream and his mother yelling get out.

 Chapter 508: Talisman To Ward Off Handsome People

    Chapter 508: Talisman To Ward Off Handsome People


    In a dim-lit closet, a man was crouched down with the light from the screen of his cellphone shining bright on his face. That man was none other than Wen Qinxi but why was he hiding in a closet literally? That''s because he was hiding from someone in his apartment.


    No, it wasn''t a burr he was hiding from neither was he ying hide and seek. He hid because he couldn''t trust himself around that half-naked man prancing around his apartment.


    While hiding he was busy typing a message to Taio Ru as he was the only person he knew who was well versed in Taoist beliefs and talismans.


    Qinxi: Hey, do you know if there is a talisman to ward off handsome people.


    This was probably the most ridiculous question he had ever asked anyone but there was no harm in trying because he was that desperate. Exactly two minutester his cell phone made a distinct dinging sound.


    RuRu:?


    RuRu: Qi-ge, have you been drinking?


    Wen Qinxi''s brows furrowed while typing rapidly out of anger.


    Qinxi: It''s eight in the morning?


    Qinxi: I am not an alcoholic.


    DannyBoy:?


    DannyBoy: Qi-ge who is in your house?


    Qinxi: How are you here? Isn''t this a private chat?


    Bunny PaiDui: No, this is a group chat I created when we went out.


    Bunny PaiDui: Wait, what are you two talking about talismans and warding off handsome people?


    Bunny PaiDui: Don''t you mean a talisman to attract handsome people?


    Bunny PaiDui: I would buy it, Ru-er does it exist?


    Qinxi:?


    DannyBoy: Qi-ge, you haven''t answered my question.


    DannyBoy: Who is in your apartment?


    Qinxi: Damnit.


    Qinxi: Forget it.


    He knocked his head a couple of times for making such a rookie mistake messaging in the group chat. He had just seen the contact Taio Ru and started typing without checking. Now his brother knew someone was in his house and based on Wen Danzhe''s IQ he could easily deduce who that person was.


    As soon as he sent out this message, he heard faint footsteps stepping on the tiles. He immediately locked his cellphone with the closet descending into darkness.


    Thinking his ears were deceiving him, he heaved a silent sigh but his cellphone suddenly made another dinging sound. A secondter the closet door was opened as the enemy had found him with ease.


    To fully understand how Wen Qinxi ended up seeking Taio Ru''s help to ward off a handsome person from his home one would have to time travel back almost eighteen hours ago.


    Wen Qinxi arrived at his apartment and started making dinner. As soon as he was done cooking, he took a shower and changed into his grey bunny onesie. That''s when he realised the time. He thought his brother wasing over but it was already gettingte so he messaged Wen Danzhe asking whether he wasing to the apartment tonight.


    It turned out his brother had left the city with his ssmates on a five day trip after a generous donor financed a project that had already been cancelled due tock of funds. Wen Qinxi pouted his lips while staring at the dishesid out on his coffee table.


    He reprimanded himself for not asking Wen Danzhe in advance. Thinking he would put the leftovers in the fridge he picked up his chopsticks while pushing up his sses with his other hand.


    Just as he was about to eat, he heard a knock on the door causing his actions to pause looking up. It was already seven pm and his brother was out of town so who would being here to visit him at this hour?


    Wen Qinxi trotted over and checked the peephole but he couldn''t see anything. He assumed that it was the kids from upstairs ying a prank as usual so he turned to leave but the person knocked a second time.


    Thinking he was going to catch the brats in the act he flung the door open ready to cuss them out but he was tongue-tied when he saw who it was. Qie Ranzhe''s lips quirked up into a sly grin seeing this cute nerd in a fluffy onesie and apple hair. How could he fall for anyone else when he had this cutie all to himself?


    He didn''t even wait for Wen Qinxi to invite him in pulling along his suitcase like he was here to stay. Wen Qinxi gave way with his jaw almost dropping to the floor. What was this situation?


    He watched this man who had tormented him in his office a couple of hours ago take out a pair of slippers from the side pocket of his suitcase and put them on.


    "What..... what are you doing here.... and wha-what''s that for? Are you going on a business trip or something?" asked Wen Qinxi unable to make sense of this highly unusual situation.


    Qie Ranzhe smiled at him as he took out the very same contract they signed during the day. He dangled it in front of Wen Qinxi and said, "use 12.9 states that Party A which is me can move in with Party B as long as party B is single... and I seem to recall a certain someone wearing a Single AF t-shirt," taking a step closer with each sentence spoken.


    The two stared at each other for a while with one grinning and the other gobsmacked with his soul having flown out of his body ages ago. The atmosphere was hard to describe. Wen Qinxi held his gaze till he felt his face heat up despite it being chilly.


    Having lost the staring contest, his gaze fell on the contract which he then grabbed saying, "Give me that," before striding over to the couch. He was about to go through it and check this so-called use when it was swiped out of his hand.


    Wen Qinxi nced down at his empty hands then at Qie Ranzhe but before he could say anything Qie Ranzhe said, "Eat first then you can take a look otherwise the food would get cold."


    A sly smile crept up his face as he directly sat on the contract. This meant if Wen Qinxi wanted it he would have to lift the entire person first to get to it.


    As a wise man, Wen Qinxi knew he wouldn''t be able to get to that contract unless he finished eating so he picked up his chopsticks and began to eat obediently but his line of sight didn''t shift staring at the contract that seemed to be mocking him.


    He admonished himself for not reading the whole thing putting him in the exact same situation as in the fourth world. Looking back at it, it seemed every action Qie Ranzhe took during the day served as some form of distraction. He had been conned twice by the same person.


    "Does it look good?" asked Qie Ranzhe while picking up some stir fry in between his chopsticks.


    Wen Qinxi''s gaze finally shifted looking at Qie Ranzhe with a puzzled expression. "Wha-what looks good?" asked Wen Qinxi not understanding Qie Ranzhe''s question.


    "My ass.... you keep staring at it so does it look that good?" said Qie Ranzhe thoroughly enjoying teasing Wen Qinxi.

 Chapter 509: Shirtless Male God

    Chapter 509: Shirtless Male God


    If his face wasn''t flushed pink before then it was most definitely flushed now. Wen Qinxi buried his head in his meal hiding his embarrassment. If Qie Ranzhe was really moving in then that would be the end of him.


    "Mmmm, this is really good. Where did you buy it?" asked Qie Ranzhe indulging in thisdelicious meal.


    Wen Qinxi raised his head slightly with his heart-melting from all the praise. He couldn''t suppress a smile saying, "I made it," while shyly pushing up his sses.


    A warm hand suddenly slid on the side of his neck making his muscles tense up. Wen Qinxi looked up and met Qie Ranzhe''s beatific expression. His heart stopped at that moment as the warmth spread all over his body. All his defences fell as he sank deeper into those enchanting eyes with a hypnotic effect. If Qie Ranzhe was to ask for his soul right now he would dly hand it over free of charge. That''s how smitten he was.


    "My baby can even cook... what more can I want?" said Qie Ranzhe while rubbing the corner of Wen Qinxi''s lip with his thumb. His fleeting gaze lingered on those pink lipsced with a faintyer of oil. He wanted nothing more but to kiss Wen Qinxi''s lips but he held back taking his hand away before he licked his thumb in a licentious manner.


    If this wasn''t flirting then the world would have to revise the meaning of the word flirt. Wen Qinxi knew at that moment that it was game over. There was no way he would be able to ept it if this man decided to be with someone else. He had fallen so hard that getting up wouldn''t be easy.


    "Why did you make so much?" asked Qie Ranzhe but in his heart of hearts, he knew why. He found out Wen Danzhe stuck to his brother like gum recently. If Wen Qinxi wasn''t at work he knew these two brothers were joined to the hip. It was for this reason he had to get rid of him so he could be alone with his cute bunny.


    "I thought Dan-er wasing over but he went out of town," exined Wen Qinxi without raising his head. He didn''t want to look at this minx anymore otherwise his brain will turn to mush again.


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t say anything afterwards feeling especially smug. He had Wen Qinxi right where he wanted and this nerd wasn''t putting up a fight. After dinner, Wen Qinxi was about to stand up and clear the dishes but Qie Ranzhe caught his wrist to stop him. "I will do it. You just sit and read this," said Qie Ranzhe while handing him the contract.


    Wen Qinxi''s eyes narrowed eyeing Qie Ranzhe suspiciously. How could this male god know how to do dishes? He didn''t trust him with the task but he badly wanted to read what he unknowingly signed up for so he let Qie Ranzhe do it.


    Two minutester, Qie Ranzhe almost dropped the bowl in his hand when he heard Wen Qinxi cussing like a taxi driver. It seemed he had found the use and plenty of other uses that made him cuss.


    "Seriously, why not just p the words marriage contract on it and get over and done with it!" yelled Wen Qinxi after reading and re-reading but the words didn''t change.


    At the word marriage, Qie Ranzhe turned his head around with a beaming look on his face. If he had a tail right now it would be wagging. Wen Qinxi casually turned his head around only to be met by that expression which undoubtedly startled him.


    "Aren''t you back with Zhao Huangzhi?" asked Wen Qinxi feeling a sharp pain in his chest like his heart had been stabbed through.


    "Huh? Why do you say that?" asked Qie Ranzhe with the glow on his face slowly fading. He couldn''t understand why Wen Qinxi would say something like that. Hadn''t he been pretty obvious about his intentions? How did Zhao Huangzhi factor into this equation?


    Wen Qinxi cleared his throat trying to act like he was unaffected and said, "I saw..... I saw you two kissing at the hospital," averting his gaze. He didn''t want to be a third wheel but the more time he spent with Qie Ranzhe the lower he set his bar. He had a fleeting thought of being this man''s concubine scaring himself. His love for this man was beyond saving.


    His stray thoughts dissipated when Qie Ranzhe suddenly gently kissed his lips but he could tell the man was restraining himself.


    "You misunderstood... I never kissed her neither did she kiss me. I was fast asleep that day when I felt someone hovering above me. She was leaning down to kiss me but I stopped her," he said with his hand on Wen Qinxi''s cheek looking straight into the man''s eyes, "I promise you that you are the only one I want and I hope you can ept me."


    Wen Qinxi''s heart was palpitating at an abnormally fast pace faced with a clear upfront confession. This was a bit much stimtion for him so he stood up and dashed into the bathroom creating some distance between them.


    But even then, he couldn''t calm himself down. With Qie Ranzhe around, he could no longer guarantee the safety of his chrysanthemum as proven twenty minutester.


    Wen Qinxi was minding his own business ying a game with his group of online friends to take his mind off what had transpired earlier. He didn''t know what Qie Ranzhe was up to neither did he actively go out to seek trouble.


    He sat on the couch with his headphones on while ying pubg on the big screen. That is until a piece of neatly sliced melon appeared in front of his mouth. He eyed Qie Ranzhe through his peripheral view with his fingers still moving on the game controller.


    "Why?" he asked trying to keep his feelings in check.


    "14.1 states party A can feed party B and party B can''t refuse unless its something party B hates eating," exined Qie Ranzhe and everything he said transmitted through the mic.


    "What the fuck! Qi-ge who is that?" asked one of the guys. This sparked an interesting conversation that had nothing to do with handguns and sh grenades.


    "I am curious to know who is party A and who is party B..... you are party B, right? I knew it my little shou shou," retorted another teammate who Wen Qinxi didn''t hesitate to shoot in the head. Lucky for the guy, he had a helmet otherwise it would have been game over for him.


    "Shit," mumbled Wen Qinxi muting his mic before facing Qie Ranzhe. He wanted toin but he soon silently swallowed that watermelon faced by a shirtless male god towering over him.

 Chapter 510: Birthday Suit

    Chapter 510: Birthday Suit


    Faced with a real 3D version of a shirtless Qie Ranzhe, Wen Qinxi was speechless. His gaze swept over the man''s defined muscles sculpted by the gods to perfection. He had seen a shirtless Qie Ranzhe plenty of times in the game but he couldn''t get used to it.


    His throat felt dry even though he was munching on a watermelon. Even a watermelon couldn''t quench his thirst. He decisively looked away but Qie Ranzhe leaned down and whispered, "Like what you see?" but Wen Qinxi kept his gaze straight ahead like a museum statue.


    "Don''t worry I won''t force you... I will just wait for you toe find me on your own," he continued with his warm breath brushing against Wen Qinxi''s ear that had reddened in an instant.


    Wen Qinxi felt a tingling sensation spread across half his face with a distinct mobile expression. Seeing this, Qie Ranzhe had a smirk on his face as he kissed Wen Qinxi''s cheek. Having expressed his intentions in a clear and concise manner he stood up straight and said, "I am going to take a shower," as he walked away.


    Wen Qinxi didn''t dare look behind him till he heard the water running in the bathroom. Qie Ranzhe didn''t even close the bathroom door as though he was hoping Wen Qinxi would take a peek but the nerd had no such intentions. His fear of pain was still so apparent. He barely survived the first few days of having the tattoo and the ear piercing so how was he supposed to endure being poked by a pogo stick in his sacred ce? He just wasn''t ready in as much as he wanted it.


    Thinking he could take advantage of the time while Qie Ranzhe was in the shower to go to bed, Wen Qinxi logged out of the game and dashed to the bedroom. His character in-game had already died anyway so he didn''t really care.


    He had already changed into his sleeping clothes so he just took off his slippers and slipped into the quilt. Twenty minutester, Qie Ranzhe walked into the bedroom and found Wen Qinxi curled up like a fluffy ball under the covers.


    Having guessed this man''s n Qie Ranzhe chuckled lightly and said, "Baby, are you sleeping?" but there was no answer. With his hands on the fold holding the towel in ce on his lower half, Qie Ranzhe strode over and said, "Then you won''t mind me getting into bed naked, right?"


    As soon as he said this he dropped the towel before grabbing the quilt. Wen Qinxi had heard everything and he was currently trying to stop himself from looking. But the quilt was suddenly pulled making him jolt up to scold Qie Ranzhe.


    Unfortunately, his words got stuck in his throat faced by Qie Ranzhe in his birthday suit with everythingid bare for Wen Qinxi to see. His thing was unting itself with vigour like it was down for anything.


    "Oh my gosh, Ran-ge what the fuck," swore Wen Qinxi throwing a pillow at Qie Ranzhe''s crotch. It wasn''t exaggerated. It really was as big as in gship. Qie Ranzhe naturally caught itughing in amusement.


    Even he thought he went too far but he couldn''t resist. When he left his apartment he had vowed to not scare the nerd bying at him strongly but it seemed he could no longer keep his promise. He couldn''t help it. The man pranced around looking that delicious so how could this CEO resist the urge to do something with the person he liked?


    He wanted to see Wen Qinxi''s provocative appearance just like in gship when he was underneath him moaning and begging while calling him daddy with misty eyes. That thought alone had hisrade in arms excited under that pillow.


    Wen Qinxi naturally had no idea that Qie Ranzhe was busy fantasizing about doing adult stuff with him. He was focused on pulling the quilt to hide his shame. Qie Ranzhe let go making Wen Qinxi fall backwards on the bed.


    Wen Qinxi was about to celebrate his victory and hideaway but it was short-lived as Qie Ranzhe jumped on top of him and pressed him down. Taken by surprise Wen Qinxi struggled but it was like the struggle of a fish out of water. He wasn''t going to win this tussle so he gave up and said, "What do you want to do?" with his face flushed crimson at this point.


    Qie Ranzhe bit his lower lip eyeing him like a starved wolf. Grasping Wen Qinxi''s wrists he raised the man''s hands above his head and said, "Show me... if you show me I will let you go." Wen Qinxi pursed his lips weighing his options. He could feel his own member rising from their bodies rubbing against each other.


    "Babye on..... I want to see it," said Qie Ranzhe acting all cute that Wen Qinxi''s shifty gaze had nowhere else to look. He had to choose between possibly losing his virginity tonight with zero preparation or show his tattoo. Of course, Qie Ranzhe wouldn''t force him but he might end up jumping his boss with no hesitation. His self-restraint was peeling off at rapid speed.


    "Fine, let go of me first then I will show you," said Wen Qinxi unclenching his fists.


    "Okay," replied Qie Ranzhe but he didn''t immediately let go so Wen Qinxi had to ask,


    "Why aren''t you letting go yet?"


    Qie Ranzhe leaned down with his face buried in the crevice of Wen Qinxi''s neck. "Because I want this tost a little longer," he said with his lips brushing against Wen Qinxi''s skin as his grip on the man''s wrists tightened.


    Wen Qinxi took deep breaths staring straight at the ceiling. He gulped as his body temperature rose sharply. "Hurry up and get dressed before you catch a cold," he said but Qie Ranzhe remained nestled on his neck rubbing against it.


    "You smell nice," whispered Qie Ranzhe before licking his skinpletely disregarding Wen Qinxi''s words.


    "Do you want to see it or not?" asked Wen Qinxi struggling to calm himself down as a wave of pleasure spread from where he was licked.


    Qie Ranzhe finally let go of his wrist and said, "I want to see," while pushing back his hair which was an unintended seduction.


    Wen Qinxi swallowed hard with his Adam''s apple bobbing underneath his skin. He unzipped his onesie revealing smooth pale skin glowing under the light that made Qie Ranzhe desperate to take a bite and leave a hickey marking his territory.


    The nerd felt embarrassed being watched like this so he said, "Didn''t you agree to let go of me first?" pausing his actions.


    Qie Ranzhe shamelessly straddled him and said, "Didn''t I let go of your hands? I promised to let you go but I didn''t promise to get off."

 Chapter 511: A Dash Of NSFW

    Chapter 511: A Dash Of NSFW


    Wen Qinxi wanted to retort but couldn''t win against Qie Ranzhe''s y on words. He just sighed and removed his arm from the sleeve exposing his shoulder. He ced a hand over the tattoo seeming a bit hesitant but it didn''t take long for him to make a resolute decision to show the man the tattoo.


    As soon as Wen Qinxi''s hand let go Qie Ranzhe''s body froze when he saw his name as clear as day on his man''s shoulder. When he saw Wen Qinxi take out his arm he was a little disappointed because he thought the tattoo was somewhere near the man''s lower half. At least then he could see more stuff.


    The tattoo wasn''t on the man''s waist or belly but his shoulder. He felt an inexplicable sense of loss that is until he saw the tattoo. Curious, Qie Ranzhe held Wen Qinxi''s arm and studied the tattoo carefully. His heart was pounding hard against his chest with his ears ringing. It seemed his love for Wen Qinxi had evolved at this moment.


    "What? You don''t like it?" asked Wen Qinxi when Qie Ranzhe didn''t say anything for a very long time.


    Qie Ranzhe leaned down with his head nuzzling against Wen Qinxi''s nose while his hands grasped either side of the man''s chest. "I love it," whispered Qie Ranzhe feeling giddy. He felt a rush of excitement that came from knowing that Wen Qinxi belonged to him and him alone and he had the physical evidence to prove it.


    It was this excitement that his arousal grew stiffer poking into Wen Qinxi''s thigh that the nerd couldn''t help butin. "Your thing keeps poking me?" said Wen Qinxi wondering why a tattoo would get such a reaction.


    "I get horny when I am happy," replied Qie Ranzhe while pulling the quilt to cover them both. Qie Ranzhe''s lips trailed along Wen Qinxi''s neck with his hands sliding upwards before interlocking fingers with Wen Qinxi.


    With their hands mped together, Qie Ranzhe dragged them above Wen Qinxi''s head as he kissed the corner of the man''s lips. "Ah... Ran-ge... I... can''t," said Wen Qinxi with his hardness grinding against Qie Ranzhe''s crotch. His mouth was contradicting his body that was twisting in anticipation.


    "Rx, I won''t cross the line," he whispered before sealing the man''s lips with his. Qie Ranzhe groaned as he sucked on the man''s lips in contentment. The man''s sweetness exceeded his expectations. In the afternoon he found out that kissing the person he likes was highly addictive that he couldn''t wait to do it again.


    His tongue slipped into Wen Qinxi''s mouth making the man beneath him groan while tightening the grip on their interlocked fingers. Qie Ranzhe''s waist moved in a thrust motion rubbing against Wen Qinxi''s crotch like a groper.


    It felt so good that he couldn''t help speeding up a little with their bulges rubbing up against each other. The room was suddenly filled with sounds of heavy panting and gasps apanied by kissing sounds that could have one''s imagination racing.


    Qie Ranzhe parted from Wen Qinxi''s lips and gently bit his Adam''s apple before sucking the man''s corbone leaving a distinct red mark. Wen Qinxi shuddered below him with his hands slipping into Qie Ranzhe''s hair which felt tingly in between his fingers.


    Qie Ranzhe''s haughty tongue teased Wen Qinxi''s nipple that was peaking as though begging for attention. "Ah.... don''t.... don''t stop," was Wen Qinxi''s response to that provocation but Qie Ranzhe didn''t intend to let this opportunity slip past him.


    "Call me daddy," said Qie Ranzhe before kissing the skin around that tiny peak greedily awaiting a special treat.


    "Yes, daddy," whispered Wen Qinxi with his legs wrapped around Qie Ranzhe''s waist. Qie Ranzhe grinned happily and proceeded to pamper the bunny meticulously.


    Before he knew it, Wen Qinxi''s onesie was already riding below his waist with Qie Ranzhe''s hand slipping into his underwear.


    Wen Qinxi flinched a little when his member was held in Qie Ranzhe''s hand. He felt a little bashful as Qie Ranzhe''s tongue licked the tip of his cock. His first response was to stop him but it felt so good that he didn''t want him to stop.


    Qie Ranzhe kissed the head before slowly moving down the underside of Wen Qinxi''s stiff member with the tip of his tongue. It was clear from his actions that he knew exactly what he was doing.


    "Ah..... ngh~~," were the lewd soundsing from Wen Qinxi that had this CEO even more excited. He gently flicked below the man''s tip with his lips slowly creeping over the head of Wen Qinxi''s cock. The heat from his mouth and breath made Wen Qinxi throb in anticipation. His fingers racked through Wen Qinxi''s hair practically begging him to slide it in his mouth.


    Qie Ranzhe wascent with his mouth sliding up and down the shaft with his tongue licking him over. Wen Qinxi couldn''t bear it as his gasps turned chaotic. Just when things were getting good, Qie Ranzhe pulled away and held both their members in his hand.


    Wen Qinxi was about toin but his lips were suddenly sealed as Qie Ranzhe''s hand started moving. Heavy pants and groans permeated the air as the two men sank deep into their lecherous pleasure with no discretion. Wen Qinxi''s waist twisted urging his lover on as he gasped for air under this intense passion.


    The sight of the two hard cocks rubbing against each other with pre-cum seeping out at the tip drove Qie Ranzhe crazy. He especially enjoyed the way Wen Qinxi looked as he indulged himself. His muscles tightened making his desire more apparent as beads of sweat on his skin shimmered under the bedroom light.


    Qie Ranzhe let out a deep moan thrusting into his hand with vigour as his other hand caressed Wen Qinxi''s waist. Wen Qinxi''s breathing became erratic as his lower half convulsed shooting out a load of creamy liquid on his belly.


    "Ah..... fuck... oh daddy..... ngh~, ah."


    Under such a lewd provocation, Qie Ranzhe couldn''t hold back. With a powerful thrust, he let go of himself letting out a loud groan like a satiated beast. Qie Ranzhey on top of Wen Qinxi as the two panted heavily catching their breaths.


    After a long time, Qie Ranzhe said, "Let''s do it again," into Wen Qinxi''s ear.


    "Fuck no..... we have work tomorrow," replied Wen Qinxi with his hand on his forehead.


    "But I am the boss," said Qie Ranzhe turning his face lying on Wen Qinxi''s shoulder to look at his lover.


    Wen Qinxi chuckled lightly before pushing him away. There was no way they were doing it again otherwise Qie Ranzhe might decide this kind of y isn''t satisfying. If that happens then he might as well forget about going to work for the next week. This was no longer a game but the real world.

 Chapter 512: As Harmonious As An Old Married Couple

    Chapter 512: As Harmonious As An Old Married Couple


    It seemed the word overdo wasn''t in Qie Ranzhe''s vocabry. This is understandable especially when it is one''s first time eating something this yummy. Like a kid trying ice cream for the first time, Qie Ranzhe couldn''t get enough.


    He did keep his promise and not take things too far but if Wen Qinxi was given a dor each time this man took liberties with him he would have enough money to buy a yacht.


    Okay, maybe a yacht is an exaggeration. Let''s say a scooter. After taking another shower, the two of them hopped into bed. Let''s not even mention how hard it was for Wen Qinxi to bar Qie Ranzhe from entering the bathroom when he was taking a shower. It was like negotiating with a toddler to eat their vegetables but Qie Ranzhe wasn''t a vegetarian.


    As soon as the twoy in bed, Qie Ranzhe was extremely handsy enthusiastically touching here and there with their bodies stered together. He would sniff and kiss Wen Qinxi''s neck with a look of contentment on his face. His leg wound around Wen Qinxi''s waist like an octopus as though he was afraid he was going to escape during the middle of the night.


    Wen Qinxi who couldn''t move now couldn''t sleep because this man over here was pressing against him with a tent below his waist. "Um... Ran-ge can you loosen up a little," whispered Wen Qinxi but his mouth was agape with his eyes wide open like a light bulb soon after.


    Qie Ranzhe was shamelessly rubbing up against him with his hand sneakily unzipping the man''s onesie before slipping in to grope inside. There is no way the story was going to end here. This got heated and yes, another round of touching each other happened that night.


    You would think the CEO''s appetite would be satiated but no. His hunger seemed to grow because when Wen Qinxi woke up the next morning Qie Ranzhe was at it again even in his half-sleep.


    Wen Qinxi felt a sense of crisis so he unpeeled the big hand that was wrapped around him like a burrito. But the moment he shifted the hand wrapped around him tightened drawing him straight into Qie Ranzhe''s embrace.


    A breath of warm air brush past his ear as Qie Ranzhe whispered with his eyes closed, "Where are you going? You can''t leave me."


    Wen Qinxi, "....."


    "What the fuck," he silently mouthed before clearing his throat, "bathroom... I am going to the bathroom."


    "Mhm... be quick," replied Qie Ranzhe before letting him go. Wen Qinxi quietly slipped into his slippers and grabbed his cellphone along the way. He tiptoed to the door and took onest nce at the sleeping man.


    Qie Ranzhe looked especially tranquil lying on his back with his one handid out where Wen Qinxi had just been sleeping. Wen Qinxi bit his lower lip before exiting the room. This is how he ended up in the closet looking for a talisman to ward off handsome people.


    He hid in the passageway closet on purpose so he could talk to Taio Ru but of course, Qie Ranzhe found him with ease. It was because of the dinging sound from the cellphone. As soon as the closet door opened Wen Qinxi fell as he was leaning against the door.


    Qie Ranzhe was quick to react capturing him before his head hit the floor. The two stared at each other one looking up with a dazed expression, the other looking down with a smile in his eyes. It was like a cherry blossom moment minus the music.


    "What are you doing?" asked Qie Ranzhe while rubbing the hickey on Wen Qinxi''s neck with his thumb as though admiring his work of art.


    "Such cat-like reflexes..... Are you superman or something?" asked Wen Qinxi looking up at Qie Ranzhe.


    Qie Ranzhe''s lips quirked up as he said, "Nope, just your knight in shining armour here to rescue the damsel," feeling rather proud of himself.


    Wen Qinxi struggled to get up like a pregnant woman struggling to get out of bed. "You are so fuckin cheesy," he said before getting up to his feet. He had to get ready for work and arrive there early so no one would see him exit Qie Ranzhe''s car. He entered the bathroom to brush his teeth a little flustered.


    Qie Ranzhe followed in with a cheesy grin on his face as he asked, "Which kind? The cheddar kind or Mozzare?"


    Wen Qinxi glowered at him through the mirror but his angry face only made Qie Ranzhe want to bully him further. He hugged Wen Qinxi from behind and asked, "Did you sleep well?" with their faces stered together.


    Wen Qinxi couldn''t stay mad for long so he said, "We are going to bete. Hurry up and get ready."


    Qie Ranzhe sighed as heplied. "Okay," he said before kissing Wen Qinxi''s cheek. The two people got ready for a productive workday like proper members of society.


    Wen Qinxi prepared breakfast and the two of them ate together before packing up to leave the apartment. The way they worked together was extremely harmonious that one would think they were an old married couple.


    Having finished first, Qie Ranzhe stood by the door with Wen Qinxi''s sk in his hand. He seemed impatient but in truth, he was rather lost in thought. He wanted to give Wen Qinxi the ne at a romantic dinner or something but he couldn''t help but feel a sense of uneasiness. He might have been smiling when he found Wen Qinxi in the closet but he felt sour wondering who he was chatting with on the phone.


    Who would his lover wake up to chat with after making up an excuse that he was going to the bathroom? No one would understand how he felt when he opened his eyes and couldn''t find his lover.


    He looked everywhere with an unsettled heart only to find him in the closet chatting with someone. He asked but Wen Qinxi didn''t respond making him feel like his position was under siege. It was this line of thought that made him take out the pair of couple''s chains and put on the one with the lock around his neck.


    When Wen Qinxi came into the lounge with hisptop bag in hand, he found Qie Ranzhe holding up a ne with a key on it. "What''s that?" asked Wen Qinxi standing in front of Qie Ranzhe with a look of curiosity. He ced hisptop bag on the countertop waiting for Qie Ranzhe to express his meaning. To be honest, he had never seen Qie Ranzhe this nervous before which roused his inquisitiveness even more.


    "I...," he said while rubbing the back of his neck with his hand, "I.... bought this for you a long time ago and I always wanted to give it to you but I just never had the opportunity to." He walked behind Wen Qinxi and ced it around Wen Qinxi''s neck.


    Wen Qinxi held the key ne in his fingers while looking down at it. He was about to ask how long ago this was bought but Qie Ranzhe spoke first.

 Chapter 513: Kai Zheng Vs A Jar Of Vinegar

    Chapter 513: Kai Zheng Vs A Jar Of Vinegar


    "See, I have one too," he said as he now stood in front of Wen Qinxi showing off his ne with a lock on it, "you now have the key to my heart..... so don''t take it off." Just as he said this he crossed his thumb and index finger together to form a heart shape as he winked at Wen Qinxi. He then grabbed Wen Qinxi''sptop bag and said, "Let''s go," to the stupefied nerd.


    He might be smiling but he was sweating bullets internally. He hadn''t wanted to mention the high school thing at least not yet. Qie Ranzhe wasn''t certain what Wen Qinxi would think when he finds out that he had been secretly in love with him ever since high school and was too cowardly to confess.


    "I love it... thank you," replied Wen Qinxi but his face was as hot as summer as he followed behind. For the rest of the day he was in a daze with the words ''a long time ago'' echoing in his mind.


    He remembered Wen Danzhe mentioning something about Qie Ranzhe liking him since high school but at the time heughed his ass off thinking his brother had a great imagination to write novels. But now it was starting to look like he was the dense one. He decided to be the bigger man and consult the guru with a higher EQ than him.


    Qinxi: That thing about Qie Ranzhe liking me since high school, how did you know?


    Wen Qinxi didn''t receive an immediate response so he locked his cellphone and continued with his work but not even five minutester it started ringing. Thinking it was Wen Danzhe, he answered it without looking but he soon took out his earbuds with a pained expression when he realised it was his mother yelling through the phone.


    "Cussing! You cussed in front of the girl, seriously?" yelled Mama Wen wishing she could get in through the phone and strangle him. When she asked him before about the date he had given her a perfunctory response but it seemed Auntie Lang had finally received feedback from his blind date and she didn''t spare any detail.


    "Ma, I am heartbroken so I swore on impulse" he replied but his cellphone started receiving several notifications so he swiped down only to find they were from Qie Ranzhe.


    Thinking it was something important, he opened the messages as his mother reprimanded him. "Your ex also showed up at your blind date. How did she know huh? Mum will beat her up for you. She dares to not only hurt you but ruin your future courtships, I am going to fuck her up. Give me her address," she said but her son was currently covering his eyes with his hands while peeking at his cellphone screen.


    Instead of working this CEO yed truant and went to get himself a tattoo in the morning. These messages were pictures of a shirtless Qie Ranzhe standing in front of a mirror showing off a chest tattoo which was Wen Qinxi''s name in Chinese characters.


    They were a dozen pictures sent with him in different poses each sexier than the next. How could Wen Qinxi keep calm after that? "Ma, don''t be mad. That girl wasn''t my type so it''s a good thing it didn''t work out," he said while typing a response to Qie Ranzhe.


    Qinxi:?


    Qinxi: Why?


    Wen Qinxi ced his hand on his mouth while zooming into that picture as a blush crept up his face.


    Mama Wen thought her son was repressing his feelings so she said, "Okay then what''s your type? Mum will tell Auntie Lang."


    Absentmindedly, Wen Qinxi responded, "t chest... packing down south and a sexy six... oh shit," he mumbled thetter part of his response as he woke up from his trance.


    Mama Wen, "...."


    "t chest, big butt? That''s, that''s an.... um.... interesting preference. I, I um... I will....," said Mama Wen taken aback. She didn''t think her son would be this open about his preferences but since he made the effort to let her be a part of that significant aspect of his life she tried to ept it.


    Honestly, when she asked that question she was talking about the blind date''s personality and character, not physical appearance but she had been misunderstood.


    Wen Qinxi felt so embarrassed he wanted to crawl under his desk and just y dead. Learn from this nerd. Never talk to your mother while looking at your lover''s sexy pictures otherwise you might involuntarily expose yourself.


    "Ma, I will call youter, okay?"


    ''I need to go find a hole to hide in,'' he continued the sentence in his head.


    Mama Wen had already short-circuited that she simply mumbled, "You go on," before cutting the line. They say fetishes are hereditary so did that mean her husband had the same preferences. Poor Mama Wen spent some time in the mirror scrutinizing her chest and ass with a raised brow.


    While Wen Qinxi wasforting himself by chanting, "It wasn''t that bad..... it''s really not that bad.... its nothing to be embarrassed about," over and over again, Qie Ranzhe was in his office feeling smug. He nned on reaping the benefits of sending those picturester tonight.This is why he was working so hard making up for the time he wasn''t in the office.


    But as the saying goes ''when you are too happy something bad is bound to happen'' something vey irritating showed up at his office door. If it had been his father it would have been no problem. He would just kick the old man out without a hitch.


    He could also kick out this person but the fact that it was his potential love rival made him even more upset. He had scratched Kai Zheng off the list of live streamers to try out gship despite having promised he would be the first to try itst year.


    After seeing Kai Zheng all over Wen Qinxi in gship he felt displeased so he went back on his word. He didn''t know if Kai Zheng was into guys but he wasn''t stupid enough to take that risk. So he kicked him to the curb with no hesitation but it seemed Kai Zheng wasn''t going to take it lying down.


    They ran in the same circles and met often in the past so Kai Zheng didn''t see anything wrong with him dropping by unannounced. Just as he called his name Qie Ranzhe suddenly interrupted him saying, "Nope," in a resolute tone like he thought this through.


    "Ah..... Ran Ran, why? Come on you know I am the man for this job plus you promised. When did you start going against your word?"ined Kai Zheng presenting his case to the court. Hopefully, he could convince Qie Ranzhe otherwise he would miss out on an opportunity of a lifetime.

 Chapter 514: Force Feed The Enemy Some Dog Food

    Chapter 514: Force Feed The Enemy Some Dog Food


    An aura brimming with murderous intent surrounded Qie Ranzhe as he red at Kai Zheng at the mention of the nickname Ran Ran. Just the mere mention of it made him rage like a volcano on the verge of eruption.


    Kai Zheng could sense something was wrong but he couldn''t fathom what he had done that riled up this man so much. Thinking back he thought maybe it was the way he called him Ran Ran but wasn''t it the same way his younger brother called Qie Ranzhe? What was the problem in him borrowing this method of address to coax his way into gship''s trial?


    Qie Ranzhe lowered his eyes and said, "Get out," in a domineering voice that implied something terrible would happen if he didn''tply.


    Kai Zheng knew Qie Ranzhe''s temper was that of a tyrannical bloodthirsty General so he scurried out of the office. He wasn''t giving up though because he intended on getting his younger brother to convince Qie Ranzhe.


    He approached the elevator in two strides ignoring Li Menxie who was looking at him with a gossipy air surrounding her. She wanted to ask him what happened in there but Kai Zheng''s steps were too fast. Thinking she could take the opportunity to calm her boss down and hopefully score some brownie points, she strutted into the office after knocking twice.


    While Li Menxie was trying to get on her boss''s good side by making some ck coffee, the elevator door dinged and Kai Zheng stepped in only to be met by a young man dressed in a yellow hoodie, ck jogger pants and white sneakers. He had zero impression of this man as they had never met before but after this, he was sure never to forget him.


    The man might have been dressed in clothes that concealed his figure but he was exuding mboyance and soft masculinity. That tall, slim figure and soft features caught Kai Zheng''s attention. He found himself dumbstruck trying to see the handsome face hidden under the ck mask.


    The person seemed preupied with his cellphone that he didn''t notice him at all but the eyes behind the sses had Kai Zheng having a spring moment in the middle of winter. There was an instant attraction like he wanted to know more about the person but by the time he woke up from his trance the elevator doors had closed.


    He tried to press the open door button but the elevator had already started moving. He brushed his hair back in frustration when he realised he couldn''t go back up without Qie Ranzhe''s permission.


    There were only three people authorized to send this elevator up and a limited number of bodyguards that is in the case of an emergency. One was Qie Ranzhe himself, Li Menxie and Qie Ranzhe''s mother.


    If one wanted toe to this executive floor they would have to ask Li Menxie toe and escort them from the director''s floor so how on earth did that person in the elevator just now gain ess? Did Qie Ranzhe know this person at a more personal level?


    This thought bounced around in Kai Zheng''s mind as he got off the special elevator on the director''s floor to catch the regr lift to get out of the building. He took out his cellphone and messaged his brother to find out more.


    Meanwhile, Wen Qinxi had arrived at Qie Ranzhe''s office curious to see what was underneath that shirt. It was for that reason he was embarrassed in front of his mother. He had paid a heavy price for it so he had to see it.


    He knocked on the door twice before Li Menxie pushed the door open in annoyance almost hitting his face. She knew it couldn''t be Miss Dai which left one other possibility.


    This man had grown brazen ever since he came out of the game. Just because he brought their CEO back it didn''t mean he could freely walk around this building like he owned the ce. Her anger boiled over when Qie Ranzhe granted Wen Qinxi ess to this floor that she had to do something and get rid of this pest.


    This is why she conveyed her conjecture to Qie Ranzhe''s mother about the shares. There was no need to get her hands dirty when Dai Lee could deal with the situation for her. With Zhao Huangzhi out of the picture and Wen Qinxi dealt with she undoubtedly had a chance.


    "Mr Qie is in a horrible mood right now and won''t be seeing anyone," she said almost closing the door on him.


    Ever since he entered gship, Wen Qinxi''s EQ had improved significantly. From a distance, he could clearly see Li Menxie''s intentions but he wasn''t a miserly roach that anyone could trample at will. He snorted coldly and said, "He would definitely want to see me."


    As soon as his words fell, Qie Ranzhe''s head raised with his heartbeat elerated. If it were up to him he would have had Wen Qinxi move directly into his office but he knew he would get rejected. He nned on making up an imaginary meeting so Wen Qinxi woulde up or he could go to him but it turns out the rabbit wandered into his den of its own volition.


    "Why the hell are you standing there? Come here, I want to show you something," he said in a calm voice but he was in no way calm.


    Wen Qinxi gestured ''told you so'' with his dashing face before walking past Li Menxie. He had issues with this woman but didn''t care to deal with her because people like her will soon fall from grace by themselves.


    He walked in but just as he was about to sit on the couch nearby, Qie Ranzhe beckoned him over which Wen Qinxiplied. He strode over to his desk but Qie Ranzhe wasn''t satisfied. He beckoned him over again indicating that he should sit on hisp making Wen Qinxi blush in embarrassment.


    Wen Qinxi wasn''t the only one flushed. Li Menxie was flushed with anger and resentment as she averted her gaze. Wen Qinxi had worked in thispany for almost three years but never had the CEO even mentioned his name but because of that stupid game, this irrelevant nerd had taken the most coveted seat on the throne.


    Qie Ranzhe pulled Wen Qinxi''s wrist making him sit on hisp facing each other. This position was explicit no matter how one looked at it making Wen Qinxi blush profusely. Qie Ranzhe ced his hand on the side of Wen Qinxi''s neck revealing the hickey underneath the hoodie.


    His other hand slid down to the man''s ass as he leaned down to kiss him but Wen Qinxi flinched a little making Qie Ranzhe worried. He thought Wen Qinxi was in pain from the hickeyst night so he drew back to ask what was wrong.

 Chapter 515: Meeting The In Law

    Chapter 515: Meeting The In Law


    Before the words even left his lips he noticed that Wen Qinxi was a little more bashful than usual that''s when he noticed the problem. Li Menxie was still standing there like a statue watching them like a hawk.


    Let''s not me this CEO because once he set his eyes on Wen Qinxi everything else faded in the background. This meant he didn''t even realise the secretary was still standing there with a nk expression.


    Feeling annoyed he said, "Get out!" in an imperative tone causing Li Menxie to scurry out in a frenzy. As soon as she shut the door she ran to the bathroom and sshed her face with water to cool herself down.


    She worked hard for her entire career following orders and rushing over at his beck and call hoping one day she would have the rich CEO''s baby and be his wife. Such was her goal when she picked this career but who knew she chose the wrong CEO?


    She was great at her job and wanted to show him she can be an even greaterpanion. When Zhao Huangzhi broke Qie Ranzhe''s heart she thought she could be his rebound as she was the only woman around him all year round but who would have thought this iceberg wouldn''t even give her a chance. Now it seemed he swung both ways and had taken a fancy to his rescuer.


    Feeling discontented she took out her cellphone and dialled Dai Lee''s number. She had to let her know that not only did that vixen take those shares but he also seduced her son like a slut. If Wen Qinxi was a slut then he would be the most expensive slut in the world.


    The subject of her anger had no idea of this trying to strip Qie Ranzhe''s shirt but the man wouldn''t let him. This meant no matter how hard he tried, Wen Qinxi couldn''t win against Qie Ranzhe leaving him with no other choice but to bargain.


    "Okay fine, then what would it take for you to show me?" asked Wen Qinxi as he tried to get off Qie Ranzhe''sp.


    Qie Ranzhe naturally wouldn''t let that happen. He held his waist in ce drawing him even closer and whispered into his ear. "I want.....," he said with his hand sliding down Wen Qinxi''s ass which he proceeded to fondle, "I want..."


    Wen Qinxi''s eyes widened as a pleasant sensation spread from the lickerish hand cement. This man wanted to impel him with his meat stick. Qie Ranzhe bit Wen Qinxi''s earlobe as his hot breath brushed against his skin.


    "I want.....ah... an americano from the coffee shop downstairs and..... hmm.... lemon poppyseed muffin," in a deep charming voice with a deep grunt like he was talking dirty to him.


    Wen Qinxi froze when he heard Qie Ranzhe''s request. To be honest, he thought he was going to ask for something naughty like making him wear a cat outfit and make out on his desk. Never in a million years did he think the man wanted food.


    "Seriously? That''s what you want... fine I will go get it for you," said Wen Qinxi with a tinge of disappointment. He got off the man''sp and adjusted his pants that had a slight bulge from Qie Ranzhe''s provocation.


    Qie Ranzhe smiled slyly leaning back and said, "If you want to give me something else I would dly ept it. I would never say no to you."


    Wen Qinxi was fed up at this point. He stuck out his tongue at Qie Ranzhe before walking out of the office. Since all it took to see that tattoo was a cup of coffee and a muffin then he would go get it. In less than five minutes Wen Qinxi was standing in the queue in the coffee shop.


    It took twice the time it took him to get here to finally buy what he needed. He left the coffee shop excited to see his name branded on Qie Ranzhe''s sturdy chest but in his trance, he didn''t realise he was being followed.


    Just as he passed a pearl white Mercedes Benz, the car door was suddenly opened by a man dressed in a ck suit. "Mr Wen, madam wants to speak to you," he said gesturing with his hand for Wen Qinxi to enter the car.


    Wen Qinxi''s chest tightened ncing behind him. He was contemting whether to make a break for it straight into GameX but he found that he was surrounded.


    As if they had read his mind the men moved closer enclosing him in a circle. This meant he had no other choice but to get into the car. He reluctantly entered only to find Qie Ranzhe''s mother sitting next to him dressed in a white suit and pink heels. Yep, this was the Madam Qie he knew from gship. Gorgeous but fierce just like a cat.


    She lowered her sunsses and tapped her cheek with her index finger indicating that he should remove his mask. Wen Qinxi hesitated for a moment before taking it off. The beautifuldy eyed him for a very long time as though studying him and once she was done observing she said, "Throw this in the trash. We will be having lunch together."


    Wen Qinxi''s grip on the coffee cup and muffin bag tightened. This was his key to see Qie Ranzhe''s naked chest so how could he easily let go. Dai Lee noticed his subtle movements before reaching out to take the things away.


    Wen Qinxi knew he had to let go otherwise one of them would end up scolded by the hot coffee. He could only cuss internally while expressing his displeasure by the look on his face. Seeing this Dai Lee humphed as her assistant epted the confiscated contraband.


    Soon after that, the car drove off with Qie Ranzhe''s bride kidnapped by his own mother. He stupidly waited for fifteen minutes straight but his boyfriend didn''t show up. He was about to personally go and fetch him and as punishment, he would directly kiss him in public like he always dreamed to do when his cellphone rang.


    It was his mother''s assistant snitching on the madam. "Sir, Madam took your programmer and brought him over to the red garden. From the looks of it, things aren''t going well. She, she looks like she''s going to tear him into pieces and... hello, hello," whispered the assistant while hiding behind arge potted nt. Qie Ranzhe had cut the call without a second thought leaving this double agent stupified.


    While Qie Ranzhe was rushing over to rescue the damsel in distress, the damsel was having a staredown with the knight''s mother as though preparing for war.


    Who wille out on top, the tyrannical mother inw or the fierce nerd holding her son''s heart in his hand? Stay tuned for this highly anticipated match.

 Chapter 516: Dai Lee vs Wen Qinxi

    Chapter 516: Dai Lee vs Wen Qinxi


    This assistant had seen plenty of fights in his line of work. Catfights, screaming matches and hardcore brawls but never this kind. The two people were sitting facing each other in silence but the atmosphere was so heavy that you could cut the tension with a knife.


    Dai Lee was the first to break the silence. She ced her ss on the table as she spoke, "Thank you for saving him. If it weren''t for you my son would be a vegetable for life so.... thank you." There might have been an intense smell of gunpowder lingering in the air but these words were spoken from the heart. She was truly grateful for this boy who sacrificed himself for her son.


    Wen Qinxi''s heart skipped a beat taken by surprise. He hadn''t expected the first words out of her mouth would be thank you. This turn of events was unexpected. "I... it''s no problem," replied Wen Qinxi feeling a sense of unease.


    The waiter delivered some dishes and the two of them started eating. Dai Lee didn''t speak for a long time just watching him from the corner of her eye. This man was good looking but there were plenty of good looking men out there so why would her son like this man specifically.


    From this outfit alone she could tell he was a nerd of the highest order with a hint of naivety in him making him seem easy to bully. If she didn''t know any better she would think her son forced him into a rtionship.


    "I take it the shares arepensation enough for saving my son from that predicament?" she asked before wiping the corner of her lips with a napkin.


    When she heard about it from that secretary who she nned on firing after this, she was angry thinking that the vixen had not only bent his son in high school but also cheated him out of his money.


    The old her would have gone full psycho on Wen Qinxi without a second thought but she calmed herself and seriously thought this through. Her son might be infatuated with someone but when it came to his money he was extremely frugal.


    This meant there had to be a good reason why Qie Ranzhe would just hand over his hard work just like that. After conversing with Machu she was enlightened. Her son had never mentioned the name of the person who saved him this meant she didn''t know that the so-called vixen was their benefactor.


    With this knowledge, she was no longer mad about the shares. It''s just money, they can make more. The problem was that her son still had a thing for this man after all these years. She didn''t like it, she wanted her son to have a wife and child in the future but she also knew how stubborn her son was.


    Curious to see the face of the man who had stolen her son''s heart she just had to abduct him before Qie Ranzhe caught on. "It''s too much actually but... Ran, um... Mr Qie insisted so...," he said nervously wiping the sweat off his palms.


    He remained vignt wondering what this woman nned to do next. Dai Lee was the kind of woman who wouldn''t hesitate to scratch his face to protect her son. Just like his mother, this woman right here was the very definition of a mama bear with sharp ws.


    "I am d to hear that so... do you really have to be with him as well? I mean half of his life''s work now rightfully belongs to you so do you really want him to devote his entire life to you as well," she said dropping a hydrogen bomb without warning.


    "And there it is," he mumbled dropping the spoon in his bowl with a ng. He was d he didn''t drop his guard. Like toast, she buttered him up first before swallowing him whole.


    "I am just saying. You have parents too, right? Don''t they want a little dumpling from you as well?" she exined her piercing gaze stuck on him like the Mona Lisa.


    "There are plenty of unconventional ways to get a grandchild and besides, isn''t it what matters most is being happy? We only have one life to live so what''s the point of being miserable just to satisfy the rest of society," said Wen Qinxi feeling a little flustered.


    He honestly couldn''t understand it. For the sake of having kids and meeting other people''s expectations, some people subject themselves to a life of misery.


    What saddened him the most was more often than not it''s families that squeeze their kids so much without considering the other person''s feelings. All anyone wants is to live a happy and tranquil life, is that too much to ask for?


    It seemed Dai Lee didn''t expect that kind of response. She did want her son to be happy but she didn''t want him to invest himself in unrequited love that would yield to nothing wasting his life away.


    Seeing that she didn''t respond he continued, "Or you would rather he spends the rest of his life with Zhao Huangzhi just because she can give you a grandchild and I can''t?"


    "Fuck no... not in a million years. That green tea bitch better stay fifty no a hundred meters away from my son otherwise I will sink her at the bottom of the ocean with a concrete brick tied to her neck.....," she said with her chest heaving as she mmed the table with a loud bang.


    Her actions attracted the other guests in the restaurant but no one was as startled as Wen Qinxi. ''There she is.... the ruthless woman who will tear the enemy to bits just to protect her cub,'' he thought his entire body frozen stiff. He subconsciously touched his neck imagining himself in Zhao Huangzhi''s ce.


    Dai Lee seemed to notice she had let her emotions get the best of her so she cleared her throat and said, "Don''t ever mention her name in front of me," before raising her ss to moisten her dry throat.


    Wen Qinxi pursed his lips looking hesitant. He wanted to tell her that he truly liked her son and would surely make him happy but judging from her angry appearance just now he kept his mouth shut otherwise he would be sleeping with the fishes tonight.


    Once she had calmed down a little she said, "Do you have some sort of charm on you or did you use some type of spell on him that he would be so infatuated with you for such a long time? I mean most people have already forgotten their first love''s name but here you are. He even kept that ne you are wearing for almost a decade. That''s too abnormal."


    Yes, she knew about that matching pair of nes because it was her jeweller who designed it. Her son had gone behind her back and contacted them but of course, they wouldn''t conceal that from her.

 Chapter 517: Brothers Boyfriend vs Brother In Law

    Chapter 517: Brother''s Boyfriend vs Brother In Law


    At the time she assumed he had fallen in love with some girl in his circle and brushed it off. Who would have thought he had bought it for a boy? And that boy was now a man and wearing that ne.


    When he heard this one could have easily knocked him down with a feather. That''s how surprised he was. His brother had said it but how could that be? He was a weirdo in high school so what part of him attracted Qie Ranzhe when they barely exchanged words? This was too petrifying.


    Dai Lee seemed to notice something was up. "Wait.... you didn''t know?..... Really?" she said but before she could get an answer from him, Qie Ranzhe suddenly walked in and joined their table in a few strides.


    "Mom," he said startling Dai Lee so much that she held her chest trying to calm her palpitating heart.


    Like a kid caught stealing milk powder she stammered, "How di-did you... oh, how low," she said as her head slowly turned to look at her assistant hiding behind a menu, "I will deal with youter." The frightened assistant shrank further into the menu secretly lighting a candle for himself.


    "No, don''t threaten him. He did the right thing by snitching," he said before cing his hand on Wen Qinxi''s shoulder intending to take him away, "Are you okay? Did she hurt you? Come let''s go back."


    Dai Lee, "...."


    "Is he porcin that would break by having lunch with me? He''s fine," she exined realising something. Her son was most likely a henpecked husband from what she could see.


    Wen Qinxi was too dumbstruck to utter a word. What else was Qie Ranzhe hiding from him? What Machu said about him not getting kicked out of gship now made sense. This man had a tonne of things he was concealing from him.


    "Mom don''t make trouble. I will call youter," he said dragging his lover out of the restaurant by the wrist. He opened the car door and buckled Wen Qinxi''s seat belt as soon as he sat down. The two of them didn''t say anything but their eyes held so many emotions that would gush out at any moment.


    Qie Ranzhe closed the car door and strode over to the driver''s side before speeding off into traffic. As soon as they arrived at the apartment, Wen Qinxi nned on going to the fridge, open a can of beer before interrogating this man but his arm was suddenly pulled driving him straight into Qie Ranzhe''s chest.


    He didn''t even have enough time to react before he was pressed against the wall and kissed fiercely as though Qie Ranzhe nned on eating him up. Like a beast in heat, Qie Ranzhe grasped Wen Qinxi''s waist deepening the kiss. His movements were frantic and tyrannical like he was trying to achieve something.


    In fact, he didn''t know what his mother said to Wen Qinxi. The man was silent the entire way home as though contemting something. Fearing Wen Qinxi would dump him because of his mother''s words he decided to dy the inevitable by kissing him. This kiss was meant to convey his feelings to the love of his life but it ended up expressing his grievances and insecurities.


    If this passionate kiss was tranted into words it would be saying words like you are mine, you can''t leave me and I can''t be without you. Wen Qinxi could feel some of these emotions but didn''t know how to soothe him. He could only rub Qie Ranzhe''s nape otherwise he might get eaten right here.


    This action seemed to work because Qie Ranzhe''s kisses became lighter and caresses gentler. He parted his lips from Wen Qinxi''s and pressed their foreheads together while stroking his waist. His hot breath brushed against Wen Qinxi''s face making his flushed face a deeper shade of red. Their hearts were beating in sync with the atmosphere brimming with tender affections.


    "Don''t leave me..... Don''t, don''t listen to her, okay? I...," he said not sure how to ask him to stay without sounding desperate. He could finally be with the person he loved and wouldn''t let go even if it kills him.


    Wen Qinxi who had been kissed breathless a moment ago raised his head in confusion. "Who is leaving? Laozi got fuckin bent by you so why would I leave? In fact, you have to take full responsibility and I am not going anywhere," he said before walking over to the kitchen mumbling, "Seriously, you just love getting me all worked up."


    Qie Ranzhe could hear the sounds of the fridge door being mmed followed by the bottom cupboard being manhandled and kicked shut afterwards. It looked like his words had angered his firecracker of aboyfriend.


    He wanted to enter the kitchen and coax him but he met Wen Qinxi by the door holding a six-pack and packets of snacks with acracker in his mouth. "Order dinner while you are at it," said Wen Qinxi before slumping on the couch.


    Qie Ranzhe, "...."


    One might ask how do you coax a firecracker? Well, let this CEO teach you the right way to coax your lover unless they''re Aries then this might not work for your situation. With that in mind, please be advised that terms and conditions apply.


    First, bend down and take their shoes off and put slippers on their feet so they don''t have to stand up and do it themselves. Wen Qinxi was upset just now and didn''t change his shoes so Qie Ranzhe being the good boyfriend brought over his slippers and just like Cindere''s prince he knelt on one knee and changed Wen Qinxi''s shoes.


    Two, order their favourite meal and you must be certain it''s their favourite otherwise you will unintentionally escte the fight. When the meal box arrives write ''I am sorry'' on the lid of the box and ''please forgive me'' on the beverage bottle. Learn from Starbucks, that shit works unless if the situation is hopeless. This is exactly what this CEO did and sure enough, his sweetheart warned up a little.


    Thest move would be feeding them which is what this CEO did earning him the opportunity to present his case. And thus the two of them approached the let''s talk about it stage. But just as they were about to open up and talk things out the door was suddenly opened with Wen Danzhe dashing in like a superhero ready to save the day.


    Because he was running, he was panting while bending down to catch his breath. As soon as he raised his head to speak he saw Qie Ranzhe cosied up to his brother like he owned the ce. "You!...," he yelled pointing at Qie Ranzhe.


    Will Wen Danzhe pick a fight with the CEO and throw him out... or will he disrupt their night by sleeping over? Stay tuned for another epic match, brother''s boyfriend vs brother inw. Who would get their way in the end?

 Chapter 518: Grandmaster Master of Manipulation

    Chapter 518: Grandmaster Master of Maniption


    Wen Danzhe had a slight suspicion that something was going on when his brother spoke about warding off handsome people and once he saw Wen Qinxi''sst message he ran all the way here as soon as he got off the bus.


    While rushing through the streets he was hit by a sudden realisation. This trip had been cancelled because they were short on sponsors despite having fundraised as a department.


    Everyone had already abandoned ship only to have a mysterious sponsor appearst minute not only paying for a fancy hotel but covering the cost for meals. Knowing fairly well that pies just don''t fall from the sky especially premium ones, he pieced everything together.


    There was only one person out of all this who had the biggest motive and that man was currently sitting on the couch feeding his brother. Talk about being outsmarted by the grandmaster of maniption.


    Wen Danzhe tossed his bag on the floor and pointed at him for a second time. "Yoouu!....," he said but he was wheezing by the end of it because of his dry throat.


    Wen Qinxi hurriedly got off the couch leaving Qie Ranzhe stupefied. He was left with a pair of chopsticks hanging mid-air because his boyfriend chose Wen Danzhe instead.


    "Here, drink some water," said Wen Qinxi looking at his brother''s flushed face. He had to dote on this feisty person so he wouldn''t pick a fight with his bay over there.


    Qie Ranzhe just eyed that bag on the floor like it hadmitted a crime worthy of a guillotine. He fought off the urge to yell at his future brother inw to pick it up. Thankfully he had great self-control otherwise there would have been a PK battle tonight which wouldn''t look good for his rap sheet.


    Ten minutester the two of them sat opposite each other looking rather serious. Judging from the daunting looks on their faces Wen Qinxi was a little sceptical about leaving them alone so he hovered around like a helicopter with zero sense of direction.


    "Anyone wants some tea, coffee maybe?" he asked trying to disperse the tense atmosphere but when one is dealing with two stubborn bulls who want to fight, their good intentions will be disregarded.


    "No," replied Wen Danzhe without taking his gaze away from Qie Ranzhe.


    The CEO on the other hand was smitten to the point that one could literally see his tail wagging if they looked closely. "No thanks, baby. I am fine," he replied with a sly wink that had Wen Qinxi feeling tingly down south.


    Faced with such a hot guy with a half unbutton shirt calling him baby in a deep charming voice while winking at him how could he not be thirsty? The word thirst was literally written on his face. He unconsciously reached out to touch that exposed toned chest but his fingers didn''t get to touch because....


    Smack!


    "Ouch..... what''s wrong with you?" yelped Wen Qinxi while calling out the culprit.


    Wen Danzhe raised his hand again ready to smack him while saying, "What''s wrong with me? Nah, what''s wrong with you? I am still here for fucks sake. I need to talk to him alone now... Damn it, I feel like I am the older one between us... Ouch!"


    His words earned him a smack upside his head from his older brother. "y nice," said Wen Qinxi before giving them some space. He was in it with Qie Ranzhe for the long haul so they might as well get along otherwise family holidays will turn into yearly brawls.


    As soon as the bedroom door closed Wen Danzhe cast the first stone with no hesitation. "The trip..... It was you, wasn''t it? You wanted to get rid of me," said Wen Danzhe feeling a little annoyed. He didn''t like it when someone pulls a fast one on him. He didn''t like Qie Ranzhe''s approach, period.


    Qie Ranzhe raised his brow slightly answering the question without saying anything. Wen Danzhe''s fingers were itching to face p this arrogant man but for the sake of his brother he held back speaking through gritted teeth. "Fine but if you want to date him you have to go to my mother and tell her you bent her son and you would like to pursue a serious rtionship with him..... how about that?"


    Qie Ranzhe leisurely crossed his arms seeming unfazed. From a young age, he learnt to adapt to all kinds of situations which helps in dealing with different types of individuals. It was because of this that he had confidence in dealing with Mama Wen.


    The older generation loves him in fact, he was certain that by the time he leaves her house she would eagerly hand Wen Qinxi over to him tied up with a red bow.


    "Deal," said Qie Ranzhe further infuriating Wen Danzhe. He couldn''t wait for his mom to tear that calm facade off Qie Ranzhe''s face.


    Thinking he could screw over his future brother inw''s sex life, he walked over to the bedroom, grabbed an extra pillow and quilt then returned only to toss them at Qie Ranzhe. "You are sleeping on the couch tonight," said Wen Danzhe glowering at him with an evil smirk.


    It was at that moment that Qie Ranzhe realised he was fucked. Never did it cross his mind that Wen Danzhe would sleepover let alone take his spot on the bed. Lying down on the couch after cleaning up he vowed to move Wen Qinxi to his apartment.


    At least there were two bedrooms and if Wen Danzhe visits, note the ''if'', then he would give him the guest room and not be separated from his bunny.


    While Qie Ranzhe wasing up with ns to have Wen Qinxi move to his apartment, Wen Danzhe was answering his brother''s incessant questions about Qie Ranzhe liking him since high school.


    Questions like ''how could you tell'' and ''how did you know'' were flying around giving the exhausted Wen Danzhe a headache.


    "Why are you asking so many questions at the same time? He was looking at you at that camping trip we went on with mum. That''s the first time I noticed him. At that time I thought it was nothing but then..... I started seeing him again whenever we came to pick you up from school. Once or twice is fine but an entire semester? And the thing is he wouldn''t be ying instead he would be seriously eyeing you like a piece of meat or something. Huuhh.... even that girl that glued to you, it must have something to do with him," exined Wen Danzhe with his eyes drooping like he could fall asleep at any time.


    Wen Qinxiy on his back staring into nk space. None of this made sense. When he tried to piece all the memories of high school together he couldn''t see what Wen Danzhe was talking about.


    "He did like you back then and I truly thought there would be some grand confession but something happened... you should ask him about that," said Wen Danzhe with his voice trailing off. He was exhausted from the trip and all that running that he just drifted off to sleep without thinking much.

 Chapter 519: Eating Tofu On the Couch

    Chapter 519: Eating Tofu On the Couch


    As soon as he fell asleep, the brother he was supposed to be guarding silently slipped out of bed and tiptoed to the door like a thief in the night. He fumbled around in the dark using the street light shining from the outside to guide his way.


    What made it worse was that he didn''t bring his sses. That''s because they were on the pedestal beside Wen Danzhe and if he had walked over to grab them he would have alerted his brother so he was left with no choice but to walk out half blind.


    Qie Ranzhe wasn''t asleep yet and heard everything happening in the dark. He switched on the standing loungemp beside him revealing a radiant smile but too bad this blind bat couldn''t see it. All Wen Qinxi saw was a shadowy figure and a hazy light which he subconsciously followed.


    He slipped under the quilt andy beside Qie Ranzhe with a lofty smile like he had just pulled off the world''s greatest heist. Qie Ranzhe made him sleep in the innermost part of the couch in his arms. The space on the couch was a bit crammed for two adult males but it was also an opportunity to ster their bodies together and eat some tofu.


    Qie Ranzhe embraced him with his leg on top of Wen Qinxi''s and his arm pulling him closer by the waist. Wen Qinxi had a rush of adrenaline from all that sneaking around. He was so thrilled that he began to question his somatics after this. How can he find excitement in sneaking around?


    His hand slowly slid across Qie Ranzhe''s waist while biting his lower lip with a glint in his eyes. Because the light was still on Qie Ranzhe saw everything. How could he not tell what sort of face Wen Qinxi was making?


    "Why are you so excited?" he asked with the vibration from his voice transferring into Wen Qinxi''s body causing goosebumps to break out on all over the nerd''s skin.


    Wen Qinxi hurriedly denied it saying, "No, I am not," but if he haddy parts he would have been wet already. "Did he hustle you too much? Cause if he did I can avenge you right now," said Wen Qinxi feeling heroic.


    "How do you n on avenging me?" asked Qie Ranzhe curious to know what sort of methods these brothers use to deal with each other.


    "That''s easy. I will put my rm clock on extra loud and ce it on the bed after setting it to ring at 4 am. I assure you he will wake up cursing like a sailor and he won''t be able to fall back to sleep again no matter how hard he tries," said Wen Qinxi exining his vile n.


    In fact, they had pranked each other in far worse ways in an all-out prank war thatsted weeks. Their mother had to beat them with her slipper to make them stop.


    "Hahaha..... how evil you are but no, I don''t need avenging. He did what he should as a brother so don''t worry," said Qie Ranzhe feeling rather warm inside at the thought that his boyfriend had his back.


    Wen Qinxi buried his head in Qie Ranzhe''s chest taking in his lovely scent as he gathered up the courage to address the elephant in the room.


    He wanted to know how on earth Qie Ranzhe ended up falling for him when there weren''t any good points about him especially in high school.


    He was the weird-looking silent type that spent most of his time with his head lowered in either his books or on theptop. So how could the school grass find him as a cactus attractive? Wen Qinxi couldn''t wrap his head around it.


    "How long?" he asked in a barely audible voice that got even lower.


    Qie Ranzhe rubbed Wen Qinxi''s back while asking, "Huh?" as a bad premonition crept up his spine.


    "How long did you like me? Your mum said you liked me since high school and even Wen Danzhe noticed," he said feeling a little timid. What if it wasn''t true then what? Wouldn''t it be presumptuous of him?


    Qie Ranzhe heaved a deep sigh embracing Wen Qinxi even tighter. He didn''t think his mother had sold him out in their very first meeting and now his boyfriend must think he is a freakish stalker. Since he had asked Qie Ranzhe was obligated to tell the truth so he answered honestly.


    "Ahem... I did. You were my first love," he spoke after switching off themp to conceal the wan expression on his face.


    Thump! Thump! Thump, thump, thump!


    Wen Qinxi''s heart expressed how nervous and excited he was at this moment. Qie Ranzhe had managed to pique his interest.


    "But,..... but I was a weirdo in high school? What part of that image spelt attractive because I honestly don''t see it?" asked Wen Qinxi conveying his true feelings.


    Qie Ranzhe chuckled lightly while nting a light as a feather kiss on Wen Qinxi''s forehead. "It didn''t matter to me because when I saw you I would have butterflies in my stomach. My hands would get mmy out of nervousness. I would want to get close to you but not close enough to scare you... When I realised it was that kind of like, I joined the clubs you joined, I watched you from the basketball court just to catch a glimpse of your smile. I even enlisted Nu Shen''s help so you cane to see me at my best just so that you would notice me even though it backfired...," he exined but when he felt the person in his arms stiffen Qie Ranzhe stopped talking.


    How could he forget his crime of burrising Nu Shen''s desk to steal that love letter that should have been addressed to himself?


    "You..... do you know I thought she liked me and started liking her because of that. Oh my gosh... you should have just dragged me along instead of making me think the prettiest girl in the ss liked me,"ined Wen Qinxi feeling rather upset. What if Nu Shen had agreed and he would have gone along with it.


    "I didn''t think..... wait, you think she is pretty?" asked Qie Ranzhe thoroughly eating vinegar which he himself created. Talk about setting his own trap.


    "Well, no..... um," stammered Wen Qinxi noticing the drastic temperature change. It was chilly but the temperature seemed to drop further into the negative after he mentioned the word prettiest. That icy re was enough to freeze hell over.


    "Yes, she was pretty but how could she everpare to you. You are the most gorgeous man I have ever met and I secretly admired you all those years," said Wen Qinxi speaking earnestly.


    "So if I were to confess my feelings to you back then would you have said yes?" asked Qie Ranzhe dropping a huge bomb without considering the consequences.


    "Ahhh...um," gosh how was he supposed to answer that?

 Chapter 520: Tussling On The Couch

    Chapter 520: Tussling On The Couch


    Wen Qinxi seriously thought through this question and no matter how he tried to evaluate the situation from different angles he still came up with one answer. But how was he supposed to convey such an answer to Qie Ranzhe especially when he was staring at him with expectant eyes?


    "I..... um.....well....," he spoke his speech as incoherent as a drunkard. While he was trying toe up with a less hurtful way to answer the question Qie Ranzhe somewhat lost his patience and abruptly shifted his body till hey on top of Wen Qinxi.


    With his one hand holding both of Wen Qinxi''s wrists and the other holding the man''s leg up by the thigh, Qie Ranzhe gazed down at him ready to bully an answer out of him. "Baby, would you have agreed to try things with me?" he asked grinding up against Wen Qinxi''s vulnerable chrysanthemum like a thirsty beast ready to devour its prey. If it weren''t for the fabric hindering him, Wen Qinxi was fairly certain he would have been devoured a long time ago.


    Their gazes locked creating an inexplicable tension that could only be described as animalistic. Wen Qinxi felt all his senses tingle as a wave of goosebumps ruptured all over his body.


    Qie Ranzhe leaned down only stopping with their lips less than an inch apart. Wen Qinxi''s heart was pounding with his chest undting in anticipation. He twisted his wrists feeling the heating from his sweaty palms. His eyes were half-lidded expecting to be kissed but the long-awaited kiss didn''te.


    Instead, it was Qie Ranzhe''s warm breath that brushed against his face making him blush. "Tell me," said Qie Ranzhe with his lips hovering above Wen Qinxi''s creating a tingly sensation that spread to the rest of his face.


    "I..... I wouldn''t have believed you," muttered Wen Qinxi before arching his neck to kiss Qie Ranzhe but Qie Ranzhe leaned backwards avoiding his touch. He immediately got off Wen Qinxi andy beside him with a look of indignation on his face.


    In the past, he had nned to confess and even prepared a pair of matching nes but it turned out he would have been rejected after all.


    Him being trapped in gship turned out to be a good thing because Wen Qinxi wouldn''t have fallen for him otherwise.


    Seeing Qie Ranzhe lying on his back with his hand covering his face, Wen Qinxi propped himself up and said, "There is no point in focusing on what ifs because it all worked out in the end, didn''t it?"


    He took Qie Ranzhe''s hand off his face and nted a light kiss on his lips before lying on his chest. Qie Ranzhe''s sullen mood seemed to recover in an instant. He took Wen Qinxi into his arms, kissed the top of his head and whispered, "I am sorry that you had to put up with me in gship.... and thank you so much for saving me." These words were spoken from the heart.


    He was truly grateful for Wen Qinxi''s intervention otherwise he might have had a terrible ending. Wen Qinxi simply smiled as he yfully tugged on Qie Ranzhe''s t-shirt. If he had known Qie Ranzhe liked him back then he would have been terrified out of his mind and hid from him. This was purely based on his personality back then.


    The two fell asleep in each other''s embrace with their own separate thoughts but by early morningst night''s events werepletely forgotten. Wen Qinxiy on top of Qie Ranzhe tussling with each other like a pair of high schoolers. It seemed the nerd was looking for Qie Ranzhe''s sensitive spotspletely disregarding the fact that they weren''t alone in the apartment.


    Qie Ranzhe looked down at his hard member that had been rubbed against in the struggle and said, "You better get off me if you know what''s good for you," but of course, his warning fell on deaf ears.


    Wen Qinxi was like a child ying with fire. He knew he would get burnt but he still chose to stick his finger in despite the consequences. "So it''s not your neck.....," he said pulling up Qie Ranzhe''s shirt before leaning down to kiss the man''s belly.


    Just as he did this Qie Ranzhe jolted at his touch and warned him again. "You are seriously ying with fire. This definitely won''t end well for you," he said with a malicious smile on his face.


    Wen Qinxi didn''t seem to care giggling like a little schoolgirl. But two secondster, he wasn''t giggling anymore as Qie Ranzhe abruptly turned him over and straddled him before kissing him fiercely.


    The two were entangled with each other thoroughly indulging in their lustful passion when Wen Dazhe suddenly appeared ending their makeout session.


    "What the hell? You two do know I am still in this apartment, right? Oh my gosh... why am I even here?" he yelled before banging the bathroom door startling the two people engaged in who knows what in broad daylight.


    Two hourster, the two of them were at a race track visiting Dai Yu and Shao Lan. Shao Lan was a professional car racer and had invited Qie Ranzhe toe over. Reason being that Dai Yu usually got crazy as her husband''s number one fan so she needed to be watched. This is why he would ask either Qie Ranzhe or Dai Lee toe over and watch her.


    So Qie Ranzhe decided to bring along Wen Qinxi so he could formally meet Dai Yu and Shao Lan since they were going to be family.


    Wen Qinxi didn''t mind. In fact, he had been looking forward to meeting the crazy pair from the fifth world so he tagged along with a spring in his step. He soon realised that Shao Lan''s concerns were indeed warranted. Dai Yu was indeed her husbands biggest fan.


    She was holding a signboard written ''My husband is the baddest bitch so eat his dust''. She also wore a tight fitted t-shirt with Shao Lan''s name written on it jeering him on.


    As soon as she saw Wen Qinxi she immediately trotted over and embraced him like they had known each igher for years. That casual embrace attracted the attention of two tigers. One tiger that had been abandoned by his wife and another tiger whose cousin was hugging his wife with no reservations.


    "Ah! I finally get to see you. I honestly thought this was never going to happen... oh gosh, he smells nice too," said Dai Yu tightening her hold. She knew about Qie Ranzhe''s little secrets but never thought this would actually happen.

 Chapter 521: He Is My Boyfriend

    Chapter 521: He Is My Boyfriend


    She was a major fujoshi since high school and loved it when his cousin fawned over his little shou but of course, things didn''t work out.


    It was never her ce to speak out of turn and try to convince him not to give up because once her cousin made up his mind then no one else could change it. Her woman''s intuition told her that something was off about Zhao Huangzhi and she did mention it but Qie Ranzhe didn''t listen.


    She wanted to have an I told you so moment but when she heard that it was Wen Qinxi who saved her cousin from gship she forgot about gloating and started shipping them instead.


    Wen Qinxi who had been sniffed visibly stiffened but he didn''t need to worry for long because Qie Ranzhe came to the rescue peeling Dai Yu off Wen Qinxi.


    He wrapped his arm around Wen Qinxi''s shoulder and said, "If you want to hug someone go hug your husband," pointing at Shao Lan who was wearing an ugly expression, "you can''t let him race like that otherwise he will lose."


    As soon as she turned her face to Shao Lan she immediately forgot about Wen Qinxi. She darted in his direction before jumping into his arms with her legs wrapped around Shao Lan''s waist. The two shamelessly made out in public with Shao Lan''s hands cupping his wife''s ass like they were at home.


    Wen Qinxi looked away in embarrassment which Qie Ranzhe noticed. He had a sudden urge to tease this timid boyfriend of his saying, "Can I kiss you too?" with a grin on his face.


    Wen Qinxi didn''t hesitate to push him away feeling rather bashful. If Qie Ranzhe really kissed him in public he would die of shame. "Just one kisse on..... It doesn''t have to be on the lips," said Qie Ranzhe trying to convince Wen Qinxi to kiss him but of course, there was no way he would get his way in public.


    "You can kiss me when...," he replied but he was cut off when he heard a familiar milky voice calling out,


    "Ran Ran, what a coincidence."


    This voice that made Wen Qinxi gag just by hearing it belonged to none other than Kai Zi. He knew Kai Zheng was real but it never crossed his mind that Kai Zi would also be real and based on his method of address to Qie Ranzhe they seemed to have a good rtionship.


    And what was up with this Ran Ran nickname? It sounded so coquettish making Wen Qinxi want to vomit. He wasn''t happy at all.


    "What are you doing here?" asked Qie Ranzhe in a cold icy tone recalling the events in the fourth world. He didn''t know if Kai Zi liked him but to be on the safe side he decided to distance himself and appease his sweetheart. As he asked this he held Wen Qinxi''s hand interlocking their fingers together.


    Kai Zi''s gaze swept over their hands held together and the smile on his face stiffened. "I came with my brother..... and who is this? We haven''t met before?" he asked looking at Wen Qinxi like he had stolen something from him.


    "This is Wen Qinxi... my boyfriend," he said trying to coax Wen Qinxi who was silently eating vinegar on the side.


    Kai Zi''s heart jolt at his words. From what he knew Qie Ranzhe was as straight as a steel pipe. What boyfriend? This guy was obviously preparing to propose to Zhao Huangzhi a couple of months ago so where did this so-called boyfriende from. If he had known Qie Ranzhe was this open-minded would he have kept his mouth shut over the years?


    He came out of the closet years ago and stuck to Qie Ranzhe like glue in university but this man never showed any form of interest. No amount of flirting roused Qie Ranzhe''s interest. Thinking he was straight and wholely devoted to his girlfriend, he gave up but it turned out the man wasn''t straight after all.


    "It''s a pleasure meeting you," replied Kai Zi but his words weren''t sincere. He was doing a horrible job at hiding his feelings. "Ran Ran, can I discuss some business with you.... alone. It''s very important," he continued to say as his gaze shifted to Qie Ranzhe. His expression had obviously changed to a radiant glow.


    One might say not to read too much into it but Wen Qinxi with his low EQ could tell Kai Zi''s interest in Qie Ranzhe extended beyond gship. He felt like hitting someone but held himself back telling himself not to act rashly.


    "If it''s about your brother participating in gship''s trial then we have nothing to discuss and also please stop calling me Ran Ran, we aren''t kids anymore," he said with a stern look on his face like there was no room for negotiation.


    Kai Zi felt like he had taken a stab straight to his heart but didn''t show it on his face. "Okay Ran-ge, I won''t call you that in the future but we do need to discuss something important. Can I have a little of your time, please," replied Kai Zi feeling rather desperate at this point. Not only did he discover that his crush wasn''t straight but he also discovered that the man had a lover all in one day. He had to hold on to something otherwise he would lose it.


    "What is it? Anything you want to say you can say in front of him," said Qie Ranzhe clearly stating his position which didn''t settle well with Kai Zi.


    Wen Qinxi wanted to stay by Qie Ranzhe''s side but he couldn''t stand Kai Zi''s face so he decided to give them some space. He couldn''t trust himself around Kai Zi as the urge to punch him grew stronger the longer he stayed.


    "You guys talk and I will go watch Dai Yu," he said before turning to leave but Qie Ranzhe wouldn''t let go of his hand. Wen Qinxi turned around to face him and showed a self-deprecating smile. "Don''t make trouble, I will be standing there," said Wen Qinxi trying to put Qie Ranzhe''s mind at ease.


    It was only then that Qie Ranzhe let him go but from his expression, one could easily tell he was losing his patients. "You have five minutes," said Qie Ranzhe with his gaze constantly ncing over in Wen Qinxi''s direction. He just wanted this conversation over and done with.


    Kai Zi was a little happy when he got rid of this third wheel who took his seat on the throne but his celebration was cut short when he saw the look of impatience on Qie Ranzhe''s face. It seemed to win this guy over he would need external help otherwise he might as well give up

 Chapter 522: Vinegar Eating Season 2

    Chapter 522: Vinegar Eating Season 2


    Wen Qinxi''s level of bitterness increased exponentially with the beastly roars of V12 engines at the start line. By the time the start g was released Wen Qinxi already resembled a green-eyed monster with a clenched jaw.


    He had no idea what these two were talking about but he kept ncing over in his peripheral view like a full-blown stalker. Dai Yu was yelling beside him with her entire body leaning against the barricade jeering her husband on but it was simply white noise to him.


    His entire being was focused on the bitterness in his heart like he had eaten an unripe grapefruit. Maybe it was because some of his vinegar was spewing over or because Dai Yu was simply that good but she noticed his abnormality.


    She followed his gaze and saw that dainty white lotus chatting up her cousin with a dash of frivolousness. The reason why she never shipped these two was firstly because Qie Ranzhe didn''t like him and two, she prefered her CPs would have muscr men, not one of them being confused for a girl. She wasn''t discriminating, it was just her preference.


    So when she saw Wen Qinxi eating vinegar over that she decided to reassure him. Wen Qinxi really had nothing to worry about. "Saozi, you are overthinking it. You really have nothing to worry about. Look his mysophobia is even acting up so rx. Other than you he won''t touch anyone else," said Dai Yu with a cheery smile.


    Wen Qinxi knew she was right but he couldn''t help it. Kai Zi kept trying to touch Qie Ranzhe''s hand but the man himself would dodge like he would catch a serious illness if he didn''t.


    "En," he responded trying to stop himself from looking but at that moment in the car race, number 52 which was Shao Lan was being blocked by another car. No matter how hard he tried to shake off that car he couldn''t get rid of it. Shao Lan was obviously being targeted but it seemed he had a handle on things.


    It was instead Dai Yu who lost it yelling at the man responsible. She was so riled up that she climbed over the barricade as soon as that car pulled over for a pit stop. "You are so fuckin dead," she said almost climbing over as she tossed her signboard at the man''s car.


    "And yet again number 52''s wife goes bonkers. Never disappoints..... She never disappoints," said thementator in a mocking tone.


    Wen Qinxi was about to pull her back when Qie Ranzhe showed up out of nowhere right at the nick of time.


    Dai Yu however wasn''t calm at all cussing that driver''s ancestors and future children with verve. She wasn''t being crazy over nothing. This driver was like an evil spirit shamelessly sticking to Shao Lan like it had been sent by someone.


    That, someone, was chilling in a private viewing area swirling a ss of whiskey in between his fingers. Because Qie Ranzhe had to calm Dai Yu, Wen Qinxi was suddenly left defenceless.


    He didn''t want to interrupt them since it was a personal matter so he sat down waiting for them toe back. He began to seriously watch the race.


    Shao Lan really had a hand on things dealing with that asshole of a driver with ease. He had even begun taunting the man for his own amusement. This made Wen Qinxi smile with a throaty chuckle.


    Unbeknownst to him someone had sat near him and had been watching him this entire time. He only realised it when he heard a familiar voice saying, "What a gorgeous smile."


    The smile on Wen Qinxi''s face stiffened as turned his head only to find Kai Zheng ogling at him like he was a piece of juicy steak. ''Fuck no,'' thought Wen Qinxi now seriously believing that Qie Ranzhe had a gift to foresee the future. Who would have known that some of the events in gship would be true? For example Kai Zi''s interest in Qie Ranzhe and this guy''s interest in him.


    He felt ufortable and wanted to leave immediately. "Hie, I am Kai Zheng," he said stretching out his hand but Wen Qinxi didn''t reciprocate mostly because he didn''t like the way Kai Zheng was looking at him.


    Kai Zheng didn''t seem angry at all drawing back his hand with a radiant smile. "I am sorry.... it''s just that I saw you with Ran-ge earlier. You must be his lead programmer, right? For gship? I heard great things about it..... you are amazing," said Kai Zheng trying to marinate the chicken before roasting.


    But this chicken wasn''t having any of that. "There is no need for that... it wasn''t my effort alone. Excuse me..... I have to go," said Wen Qinxi but before he even stood up his hand was suddenly grasped by someone.


    He subconsciously wanted to pull his hand away but when he turned and saw Qie Ranzhe standing there a radiant smile crept up his face like he had seen his saviour.


    "Let''s go," said Qie Ranzhe treating Kai Zheng like air. Kai Zheng looked down at their sped hands and suddenly received enlightenment just like his brother. This rtionship wasn''t as simple as it appeared.


    Wen Qinxi''s smile drooped a little when he realised Qie Ranzhe''s mood wasn''t right. Thinking dealing with Dai Yu had probably made him upset, Wen Qinxi silently followed only to be pressed against a wall as soon as they stepped out.


    Caught off guard Wen Qinxi asked, "What are you mmmm," but he didn''t get to finish his question when he was suddenly kissed fiercely with Qie Ranzhe''s leg spreading his thighs apart.


    He didn''t care they were in public neither did he care someone will see. All he knew was that he was upset and wanted to mark his territory and give himself a sense of ease. He sucked on Wen Qinxi''s lips with both his hands trapping his lover in the middle.


    His moist tongue licked Wen Qinxi''s lips igniting a fiery passion that came with doing something sinful in public. Wen Qinxi''s bashfulness was thrown out of the window as he parted his lips letting this man invade him in total surrender. Qie Ranzhe couldn''t handle this stimtion groaning as he pressed against Wen Qinxi''s body.


    A gush of raging hormones coursed through Wen Qinxi''s veins fueling a fiery passion below his belt. He wanted nothing more than to give himself to this man wholly. The two engaged in such reckless behaviour till they were both panting heavily from the kiss.


    Qie Ranzhe gently rubbed Wen Qinxi''s slightly swollen lips as he said, "Baby, I am upset. I am really upset."

 Chapter 523: Pettiness At A Whole New Level

    Chapter 523: Pettiness At A Whole New Level


    Wen Qinxi''s gaze was fixated on Qie Ranzhe''s lips desperate to take a bite. At least then Kai Zi would know that this man is taken and he would stay away. "I am very upset as well. How about we go home and make each other happy?" suggested Wen Qinxi smiling like he had just won the lottery.


    "I would love that," replied Qie Ranzhe lightly kissing Wen Qinxi''s neck with his warm breath brushing against the man''s skin creating an erotic scene.


    Wen Qinxi was about to respond when he heard a loud roar of an engine approaching the parking lot. He tilted his head to the side and saw a three-meter tall blue monster truck with mes approaching a gxy sports car at the end of the parking lot.


    He lightly pushed Qie Ranzhe away as an ominous feeling crept up within. Qie Ranzhe seemed the least bit concerned with his arm sliding along Wen Qinxi''s waist in a possessive manner.


    Sure enough, the monster truck drove over that expensive gxy sports car crushing it like it was nothing. Premise security began to panic trying to stop the monster truck but it was pointless. They were simply no match to this ginormous monstrosity terrorising a client''s car.


    "Who...," said Wen Qinxi his heart bleeding for the owner of that car. They must have offended someone otherwise why out of all the fancy cars here would the attacker target that car alone.


    Qie Ranzhe leaned over and started kissing his neck again while saying, "That should teach him not to mess with my person ever again."


    "What?" asked Wen Qinxi as he leaned back creating some distance between them. He knew Qie Ranzhe was petty but this level of pettiness was a little beyond the norm.


    "Let''s go home. I still want you to make me happy. This wasn''t enough to appease me," replied Qie Ranzhe draping his arms across Wen Qinxi''s shoulder before leading him to the car.


    Just as they reached the ck SUV the sound of Kai Zheng grieving over his car reverberated in the air scaring birds away. His beautiful car had been reduced to scrap and the culprit had driven off and nowhere in sight. He did have insurance but seeing his baby in this state made him so angry that he wailed like a toddler in the street.


    "That will fuckin teach him not to flirt with my baby. He flirts with mine, I destroy his," said Qie Ranzhe with a stern expression like he really meant it. Wen Qinxi was left speechless with nothing left to say. Qie Ranzhe went beyond his expectations. He was starting to wonder if he was in love with a businessman or a member of the mafia.


    "What baby? Did someone try to steal saozi?" asked Dai Yu who had been tossed in the car earlier by Qie Ranzhe to prevent her from going berserk again in public. It seemed he had also forgotten about her because he was kneading his forehead in frustration. It seemed they couldn''t go home and make each other happy as of yet as they had to adult sit his crazy cousin.


    "Who was it? Who would have the balls to rob you of your wife?" asked Dai Yu again while chewing on some dried fruit.


    "If I let you go back would you promise to behave yourself till Lan-er is done racing?" asked Qie Ranzhe unwilling to give up the happy hour waiting for him at home.


    Dai Yu chuckled and said, "Yes, I will definitely be-behave..... ahem..... I will be very good." From that answer alone Qie Ranzhe could clearly tell she was lying. If he lets her go unsupervised she would most likely jump that other driver with a crowbar.


    "Well, I guess we are staying here till Shao Lan is done," said Qie Ranzhe feeling upset again, "I am so sorry," he mouthed to Wen Qinxi while stroking his hand.


    He meant to introduce his lover to his closest family but not only did they end up dealing with a whole lot of craziness but they also ate a bucket load of vinegar from their love rivals. What a terrible ending to a great day.


    While Wen Qinxi and Qie Ranzhe were adult sitting, Kai Zi stumbled upon Qie Anzhie hanging out in the private room. It might have seemed like a coincidence but it was all nned out by Kai Zi himself.


    To eliminate thepetition he sought out Qie Anzhie as he was the fastest route to get things done. He just hoped Qie Anzhie would be cooperative.


    "Well, well, well... I really didn''t expect to find you here today. Are you here to see your older brother?" said Kai Zi sitting on the couch opposite Qie Anzhie.


    "It''s none of your business," replied Qie Anzhie feeling a little annoyed. He barely interacted with this man mostly because he was always around Qie Ranzhe. What he didn''t expect was that he would take the initiative to approach him.


    Kai Zi wasn''t at all shaken by his attitude, in fact, there was no need to fake pleasantries as he truly believed Qie Anzhie took a position that never belonged to him.


    "Mhm, yes it''s none of my business indeed. It''s just that I heard your older brother has a boyfriend. I had no idea he prefered the same sex let alone date his employee. You remember that programmer he had a press conference with? Apparently, that''s his boyfriend. Interesting, right?"


    This piece of information piqued Qie Anzhie''s interest as he stopped swirling the ss in his hand. He hade over to make a fool of Qie Ranzhe by messing with Dai Yu but who would think that was mere child''s y and the true person he could use to deal with Qie Ranzhe was right in front of him this entire time.


    Just as he said this Kai Zi''s cellphone rang. It was his brother whose car had been destroyed by a certain someone whose name couldn''t be mentioned. "Calm the fuck down it''s just a stupid car....," he said before walking away without bidding farewell to Qie Anzhie.


    The seed had been sown already and all he had to do was wait for the bountiful harvest. He had to deal with his older brother that was making a fool of himself in public.


    Qie Anzhie raised his ss staring nkly at it but the truth was that he was lost in thought. There were plenty of ways he could use this little nerd to his advantage. It was about time he showed his older brother who was superior between them. Only the strong will live and the weak would die.


    He smashed the ss against the wall with a sly grin on his face. He finally found someone his older brother cared for and it was a small fry with no family backing. He couldn''t screw with Zhao Huangzhi because of the Zhao family but he could mess with this man or so he thought.

 Chapter 524: Confession Time

    Chapter 524: Confession Time


    After a day of shopping like it was the end of the world, Mama Wen carried her heavy shopping bags towards the entrance of the mall before setting them down. Spring festival was slowly approaching so she went shopping and bought necessary things and a whole lot of unnecessary things.


    Because she had gone shopping on impulse, she didn''t have her sons apany her. Because Wen Qinxi was at work, he ordered a car for his mother using an app. While she was waiting a ck Maybach parked right in front of her and the back passenger door opened.


    This kind of car was the type that the driver opens the door for the big boss sitting at the back but the person sitting inside didn''t even wait for the driver to open the car door opening it himself.


    A familiar tall figure with a face sculpted by the gods to break women''s hearts approached her with a radiant smile. She knew this was Wen Qinxi''s boss from the press conference but she still looked around her to see who that smile was meant for.


    She thought it would be embarrassing if she assumed the smile was for her so she kept her nk expression. He must have been smiling at his girlfriend or something. Her thoughts strayed as she thought if it weren''t a girlfriend then she would have Auntie Lang arrange a blind date for him.


    Her drifting mind that was wandering in an odd direction returned so suddenly when Qie Ranzhe took the initiative to greet her. Being smiled at by such a handsome young man, Mama Wen couldn''t help but blush slightly. Who wouldn''t when they are faced with an idol.


    "Your bags.... can I help you with them?" he said pointing at the bags on the sidewalk bench.


    "Huh?... oh no need," replied Mama Wen with a warm smile that could ruin nations, "My son ordered a car for me. It must be getting here soon. I wouldn''t want to trouble you with such."


    Qie Ranzhe rubbed the back of his neck somewhat nervous and said, "Actually, I came here intending to see you. I overheard Qin-er talking about you having to go shopping but he couldn''t apany you because of urgent matters so I came to pick you up."


    He did overhear Wen Qinxi''s conversation with Wen Danzhe abouttheir mother going shopping. His boyfriend was trying to urge Wen Danzhe to apany her but failed so she had to go alone. Hence as soon as he had the opportunity to leave the office he jumped on that bandwagon immediately and now here he was.


    He was a man of his word and since this is what it would take for Wen Danzhe to back off then he would do it. Especially when Wen Danzhe had stubbornly stayed with them in the past few days. It was for this reason he couldn''t do this and that to his boyfriend who was also eager and willing.


    Mama Wen was a little concerned by his words so she asked, "Is everyone okay? Is something wrong with Ah-Qi?"


    Putting her at ease he replied, "No need to worry.


    Everything is fine I promise.... so can I?" he asked sincerely hoping that she wouldn''t read too much into it. He didn''t even tell his boyfriend that he was going to do this.


    "Alright then. I would have to trouble you," replied Mama Wen as Qie Ranzhe carried the heavy bags with the help of the driver and ced them in the boot of the car. He then opened the door for her scoring even more points in Mama Wen''s boyfriend material evaluation sheet.


    Seeing that his scores were pretty high, Mama Wen approached the subject with caution, "Mr Qie, your girlfriend must be the luckiest woman on earth. You make the best kind of boyfriend."


    Qie Ranzhe, "..."


    He had no idea how to answer that question. He could have confessed right here and then that his girlfriend was actually his boyfriend and that boyfriend was her son but it was too premature to confess.


    He had to butter her up first and imprint the most favourable impression on her before dropping the ''I am dating your son'' bomb.


    He shyly nodded his head saying, "They seem happy but I can do better." Mama Wen was both happy and a little disappointed. Happy because he had someone in his life. Sad because she couldn''t y matchmaker.


    "As long as you are happy," replied Mama Wen a little worried for her son, "maybe you should give my Xiao (little) Qi how to pick them because his heart was recently broken by a cunning woman. Argh!.... just thinking about it makes me upset."


    Qie Ranzhe''s heart skipped a beat when he heard these words.


    He couldn''t make sense of Mama Wen''s words at all. If Wen Qinxi ever had an ex then that ex could only be him. But how did he be an ex in the first ce?


    "That girl is no good. My little dumpling was so upset that he refused toe out of bed for days. For Qin-er that''s highly unusual. A lot of bad things happened in his life before but this was the first time that a sensible child behaved that way. Can you believe she even sabotaged his blind date and after that, it''s been hard for me to find his type," she exined her grievances in detail making this CEO feel despondent as he realised he was most definitely the no-good ex.


    Qie Ranzhe cleared his throat and curiously asked, "And what is his type."


    Mama Wen shook her head and said, "t chest and packing down south or at least that''s what I heard. Can you believe it? He says he wants a girl with a t chest and big butt. Where on earth am I supposed to find a girl like that?..... Oh, just park here. It would easier to carry the groceries up."


    The driver parked on the side and hurriedly opened the door for her. Qie Ranzhe got off on the other side and offloaded the bags with the aid of the driver. He didn''t forget to check himself out to see if he met that criteria. They were already dating but he just wanted to know if he was his boyfriend''s type.


    The t chest was an obvious tick but the ass part, he had no idea. When they got in the elevator he subtly checked himself out on the elevator mirrors. His butt was visible and perky but not as big. He decided to hit the gym and do some squats to help his tooshie grow.


    When they arrived at her apartment, Qie Ranzhe kept upping his prospects as a great boyfriend by helping Mama Wen sanitise and pack the groceries. He even helped her cut fruit as instructed before the two finally sat down to talk.


    Mama Wen might have a low IQ but Wen Danzhe''s EQ was inherited from her so she knew Qie Ranzhe''s visit had a purpose. There must have been a reason for this visit so she took out a bottle of Baijiu to assist this CEO to speak his mind.


    Maybe it was something he couldn''t speak about to his mother which is why he decided toe to her. Her motherly instincts kicked in ready to listen. The two of them drank a few sses and sure enough, Qie Ranzhe felt a sense of ease.


    He could easily win the hearts of the older generation but he felt so nervous mostly because this was Wen Qinxi''s mother.


    "I..... ahem..... about the person I am dating. It''s your son and I have liked him since high school," he came out with it rubbing his sweaty palms on his pants. How was he supposed to tell a parent that they won''t possibly have a grandchild all because of him?


    Mama Wen froze in ce like she had been dunked in a barrel of liquid nitrogen. She slowly swallowed the liquor in her mouth as it finally dawned on her. t chest and packing down south? If he was talking about a guy then the packing down south could be referring to the gun, not the rear end.


    "Oh shit!..... oh shittt. Oh god..... no way," she said as her expression turned to that ofplete and utter shock. Qie Ranzhe was about to say something but Mama Wen lifted her index finger as a gesture for him to hold on for a damn minute.


    She took two more shots from the diminutive sses. It had to be her son''s fault, right? He must be the one who pursued Qie Ranzhe in the first ce. She had convinced herself over the past years that Wen Qinxi was just good at hiding his love interests but it turned out that brat was only good at hiding in the closet. The only thing he was hiding was himself.


    "That little brat..... argh!..... I should have seen thising. You know I knew every one of Dan-er''s shenanigans. He would hide it but I would eventually find out but Qinxi...," she said before downing another shot, "he was as clean as a whistle. There was nothing. No nude magazines, no girls standing with him outside the school gates after school. Even in university, he wouldn''t spend time on his cell phone chatting for hours. How did I not, not see it? I started thinking he was shy and had a hard time talking to girls."


    Qie Ranzhe let her finish speaking but he had to defend his lover. He didn''t know why Wen Qinxi was single for all those years but he highly doubted that it was because he was interested in the same sex.


    "Auntie, you misunderstand. I liked him since high school but he didn''t even notice me. I am pretty sure if..... if I had confessed my feelings in high school, he would have rejected me. I was the one who pursued him when he rescued me from gship," he exined with his mood turning sullen with each sentence or maybe it was the booze kicking in that made him feel this way.


    Mama Wen listened to this man''s honest confession dumbstricken to the point of overfilling her ss with liquor. Qie Ranzhe had to stop her before she emptied the entire bottle on the table. He pointed at the bottle effectively drawing her out of her trance.


    She mmed the bottle on the table with a loud bam and stood up to grab something from the kitchen drawer. "So you, hahaha.... you are telling me that you are the one who liked him... since high school?" she said fumbling through the kitchen drawers in search of something.


    She pulled out a cleaver knife which made a loud shing sound as it scraped past the drawer door.


    Qie Ranzhe''s eyes widened thinking thisdy was going to hack him to death for bending her son.


    He instantly sobered up holding his breath but rxed when he saw her putting it down.


    Just as he exhaled, she took out a meat mallet and spun it around a couple of times making Qie Ranzhe''s heart go into panic mode.


    Was he going to be bludgeoned to death by her? He was about to stand up and sneak out while she wasn''t looking when she ced the instrument back into the drawer.


    She opened the bottom drawer and her expression changed like she had found what she was looking for. Not certain of what was going to happen next, Qie Ranzhe remained vignt with his overactive imagination running rampant. Just when he thought she would pull up an axe from that drawer to chop him to death she took out a blue album written sweet memories.


    She hurriedly sat down and flipped through it before taking out a picture day photo of Wen Qinxi. "So.... so you are telling me that you, you liked this version of Ah-Qi in high school? This version..... you liked it?" she said lifting the picture for him to take a closer look.


    She loved her son and all but even she knew the likelihood of him attracting anyone in high school was zero yet here was a handsome man from a prestigious family saying that he fell head over heels for a less attractive version of her son.


    "Yes, I did," replied Qie Ranzhe staring at that picture with a tender filled gaze.


    "Seriously?" she asked as she turned the picture in her direction. Were they seeing the same thing? Were they looking at the same picture?


    Mama Wen was obviously tipsy otherwise she would have sugar-coated the situation but apparently, Qie Ranzhe didn''t seem to care. He was resolute in his answer nodding his head, "Yes, he was my first love."


    "Wow..... just wow," replied a dumbfounded Mama Wen before taking another shot, "then it must be true love. I fuckin have nothing left to say... hahaha... it''s true love."


    "May I?" said Qie Ranzhe asking for the picture. He didn''t have any more pictures of Wen Qinxi in high school and would love to keep this one. Mama Wen passed the photo over while observing him seriously.


    This was an incredibly strange phenomenon. Her son had managed to enchant a man to an extent well beyond the norm. How was she supposed to exin to the Wen family ancestors when she dies?


    While Mama Wen was questioning Qie Ranzhe''s eyesight, Wen Qinxi was busy ying games at his apartment. He had tried calling Qie Ranzhe five times but the man never picked up. He decided to wait for him at the apartment but the clock struck 7 pm and he was nowhere in sight.


    In fact, it was Wen Danzhe who came back home first. Wen Qinxi took off his headsets and asked, "Why are you here again? Aren''t you sleeping at your dorm room?"


    "As long as he''s here and hasn''t done what we discussed I will be staying here. I will be here for as long as it takes," replied Wen Danzhe in an imperative tone like there would be nopromise.

She had convinced herself over the past years that Wen Qinxi was just good at hiding his love interests but it turned out that brat was only good at hiding in the closet. The only thing he was hiding was himself.


    "That little brat..... argh!..... I should have seen thising. You know I knew every one of Dan-er''s shenanigans. He would hide it but I would eventually find out but Qinxi...," she said before downing another shot, "he was as clean as a whistle. There was nothing. No nude magazines, no girls standing with him outside the school gates after school. Even in university, he wouldn''t spend time on his cell phone chatting for hours. How did I not, not see it? I started thinking he was shy and had a hard time talking to girls."


    Qie Ranzhe let her finish speaking but he had to defend his lover. He didn''t know why Wen Qinxi was single for all those years but he highly doubted that it was because he was interested in the same sex.


    "Auntie, you misunderstand. I liked him since high school but he didn''t even notice me. I am pretty sure if..... if I had confessed my feelings in high school, he would have rejected me. I was the one who pursued him when he rescued me from gship," he exined with his mood turning sullen with each sentence or maybe it was the booze kicking in that made him feel this way.


    Mama Wen listened to this man''s honest confession dumbstricken to the point of overfilling her ss with liquor. Qie Ranzhe had to stop her before she emptied the entire bottle on the table. He pointed at the bottle effectively drawing her out of her trance.


    She mmed the bottle on the table with a loud bam and stood up to grab something from the kitchen drawer. "So you, hahaha.... you are telling me that you are the one who liked him... since high school?" she said fumbling through the kitchen drawers in search of something.


    She pulled out a cleaver knife which made a loud shing sound as it scraped past the drawer door.


    Qie Ranzhe''s eyes widened thinking thisdy was going to hack him to death for bending her son.


    He instantly sobered up holding his breath but rxed when he saw her putting it down.


    Just as he exhaled, she took out a meat mallet and spun it around a couple of times making Qie Ranzhe''s heart go into panic mode.


    Was he going to be bludgeoned to death by her? He was about to stand up and sneak out while she wasn''t looking when she ced the instrument back into the drawer.


    She opened the bottom drawer and her expression changed like she had found what she was looking for. Not certain of what was going to happen next, Qie Ranzhe remained vignt with his overactive imagination running rampant. Just when he thought she would pull up an axe from that drawer to chop him to death she took out a blue album written sweet memories.


    She hurriedly sat down and flipped through it before taking out a picture day photo of Wen Qinxi. "So.... so you are telling me that you, you liked this version of Ah-Qi in high school? This version..... you liked it?" she said lifting the picture for him to take a closer look.


    She loved her son and all but even she knew the likelihood of him attracting anyone in high school was zero yet here was a handsome man from a prestigious family saying that he fell head over heels for a less attractive version of her son.


    "Yes, I did," replied Qie Ranzhe staring at that picture with a tender filled gaze.


    "Seriously?" she asked as she turned the picture in her direction. Were they seeing the same thing? Were they looking at the same picture?


    Mama Wen was obviously tipsy otherwise she would have sugar-coated the situation but apparently, Qie Ranzhe didn''t seem to care. He was resolute in his answer nodding his head, "Yes, he was my first love."


    "Wow..... just wow," replied a dumbfounded Mama Wen before taking another shot, "then it must be true love. I fuckin have nothing left to say... hahaha... it''s true love."


    "May I?" said Qie Ranzhe asking for the picture. He didn''t have any more pictures of Wen Qinxi in high school and would love to keep this one. Mama Wen passed the photo over while observing him seriously.


    This was an incredibly strange phenomenon. Her son had managed to enchant a man to an extent well beyond the norm. How was she supposed to exin to the Wen family ancestors when she dies?


    While Mama Wen was questioning Qie Ranzhe''s eyesight, Wen Qinxi was busy ying games at his apartment. He had tried calling Qie Ranzhe five times but the man never picked up. He decided to wait for him at the apartment but the clock struck 7 pm and he was nowhere in sight.


    In fact, it was Wen Danzhe who came back home first. Wen Qinxi took off his headsets and asked, "Why are you here again? Aren''t you sleeping at your dorm room?"


    "As long as he''s here and hasn''t done what we discussed I will be staying here. I will be here for as long as it takes," replied Wen Danzhe in an imperative tone like there would be nopromise.

 Chapter 526: A New Fujoshi Recruit

    Chapter 526: A New Fujoshi Recruit


    When Wen Qinxi heard the words what I asked him to do, he ced the game controller down and looked at his brother. Wen Danzhe was at the fridge taking out a can of soda. As soon as he turned around he was met by Wen Qinxi''s probing gaze which almost scared his soul away.


    "What?" he asked before taking a sip while staring at his brother.


    "What did you ask him to do?" asked Wen Qinxi but before Wen Danzhe could answer, Wen Qinxi''s cellphone vibrated in his pocket. He took it out thinking it was Qie Ranzhe exining himself. Yes, It was him alright but it was a picture of him passed out and it was his mother who sent that picture with the caption ''does this person belong to you''.


    "Damn it....," yelled Wen Qinxi rushing to the bedroom to change his clothes.


    "What?.... What happened?" asked Wen Danzhe seemingly vexed by the entire situation. He walked over to the couch and checked Wen Qinxi''s cellphone only to spit out a mouthful of soda. He didn''t think his mother would actually get Qie Ranzhe drunk.


    He ced the can on the countertop and hurriedly changed into his shoes almost tripping on himself. The two brothers were out of the apartment in two minutes heading towards their mother''s house.


    Meanwhile, Qie Ranzhe had reached his drinking limit but Mama Wen wasn''t done interrogating him.


    She gently poked him and Qie Ranzhe raised his head revealing his misty eyes and flushed cheeks. He propped up his head with his hand and smiled sheepishly at Mama Wen.


    "I promise you this isn''t like me.... I usually dri-drink more than this," he said seeming apologetic.


    "Yeah, yeah, sure... now tell me, have you two slept together?" she asked her intentions simple. She needed to know whether to drag this man by the ear to Amsterdam and have him take responsibility for her son. Or possibly drag her son by the ear to take responsibility for this CEO. The decision on whose ear will get dragged was solely dependent on her next question.


    Qie Ranzhe hurriedly shook his head with his hands waving like he absolutely did not do anything. "No no, we haven''t done anything except cuddling. I promise, that''s all we did... but in gship we..... um..... we had a son. Do you, do you want to see?" he said excitedly taking out his cellphone like the proud dad in the office.


    "Let me see," she said epting his cellphone and her eyes brightened looking at that picture. That baby was so cute she couldn''t resist putting up an expression of endearment looking at the picture.


    "What''s his name?" she asked wondering who between them mothered this virtual baby. Based on her son''s pain endurance index which was in the negatives she believed the answer to that question was Qie Ranzhe. If her son were to give birth he would faint from the pain. Of course, the likelihood of that happening was zero but she was curious to know if it hurt.


    "Qie Xieling," he said directly answering Mama Wen''s next question. Her son could only be the..... shou in this rtionship. She had done some research while Qie Ranzhe was dozing off earlier which opened her up to a whole new world she never thought she would step into.


    She vowed to delve deeper into this interesting worldter but now she had questions that needed answers. Little did she know she would be a full-blown fujoshi constantly pairing up her straight younger son in her head to every handsome boy she walked past.


    "I don''t know but that''s our son," he said speaking as if Qie Xieling was real. Their son was one of his proudest achievements in gship second to him actually getting Wen Qinxi pregnant. Never in his dreams did he ever think that man would be with him yet here he was trying to get Mama Wen''s consent.


    "So my son is the um... the bottom in this rtionship?" she asked with the alcohol boosting her courage. Okay fine, that''s a lie. Even if she was sober she would still ask that question in the presence of her son.


    Qie Ranzhe''s eyes widened refusing to answer that question especially when he recalled the cleaver in the drawer a few feet from them. Mama Wen already had a definite answer from his silence. Well, it did make sense based on their appearance. One was so domineering while the other was silent but a firecracker when provoked.


    She was about to tell him to take care of her son and not break his heart otherwise she would break his legs when the apartment door was suddenly opened. Her two sons walked in panting heavily like they had been running a marathon. Qie Ranzhe had alreadyid his head on the kitchen counter. He was too drunk at this point.


    Mama Wen took off one of her slippers and flung it at them nailing Wen Danzhe''s back.


    "Ma! This has nothing to do with me," yelled Wen Danzhe having failed to dodge slipper one.


    "You knew and didn''t say anything. You are guilty by association," she said before taking off slipper two. Mama Wen was like an unparalleled sharpshooter when it came to throwing things. She urately hit Wen Qinxi''s butt despite him dodging the attack.


    "That''s for lying to me. Why didn''t you tell me sooner, huh? When have I ever made you feel like you can''t tell me anything? I had to find out from him that I had been running around like a headless chicken looking for a nice girl for you yet you already had a boyfriend... tsk, go take care of him," yelled Mama Wen before walking away locking herself in her room.


    With that door closed the dark expression on her face vanished as she sprawled on the bed with her cellphone in hand. She wasn''t upset about her son''s sexual preferences she was upset about him not saying anything sooner. She had unknowingly set him up on a blind date thinking she was helping the situation but it turned she had the wrong gender entirely.


    Meanwhile, Wen Qinxi was trying to wake Qie Ranzhe up while rubbing his sore butt cheek. He felt like pinching Qie Ranzhe for not saying anything. If he had known Qie Ranzhe was going toe to see his mother he would have prepared her in advance but this boyfriend of his just had to jump the gun.


    "Well, mum outdrank him... huh?" said Wen Danzhe earning him a fierce re from Wen Qinxi, "don''t look at me like that. At least now you know he is serious about you and based on mum''s personality you will be wearing a wedding ring pretty soon. You can thank meter."


    "Piss off," replied Wen Qinxi suppressing a smile that was slowly growing at the corner of his lips. They had matching tattoos, matching nes and had an in-game son, the only thing missing was a matching pair of rings which his younger brother facilitated.

 Chapter 527: Noise Cancelling Function *wink

    Chapter 527: Noise Cancelling Function *wink


    He knew they were only caring for him and his future, so he couldn''t get mad over that. Wen Danzhe raised his hands in the air in resignation as he slowly backed away. "Where the fuck do you think you are going? Help me carry him," said Wen Qinxi glowering at his brother who was undoubtedly shrugging responsibility.


    "Geez..... fine," replied Wen Danzhe as he grabbed Qie Ranzhe''s hand mumbling something under his breath.


    The two ced him on the lower bunk bed in the room they shared. This was a two-bedroom apartment and the other bedroom belonged to their mother. Wen Qinxi crouched down to take off Qie Ranzhe''s shoes but just as he was about to ask Wen Danzhe to bring some water, he had already vanished from the scene.


    Wen Qinxi sighed helplessly as he tucked Qie Ranzhe in making sure he slept on his side. He didn''t know what the two talked about in his absence making him a little nervous. He went into the kitchen and grabbed some food, drinking water and a warm basin of water to wipe Qie Ranzhe''s face.


    Seeing his brother moving up and down gathering plenty of supplies, Wen Danzhe couldn''t help saying, "Wifey material," while eating the pre-prepared meals from the fridge. Wen Qinxi picked up the dishcloth and threw it in Wen Danzhe''s face.


    "Shut up for me, will you?" said Wen Qinxi not in the mood to y with his younger brother.


    "Aiyo.... so feisty. Go take care of your husband," replied Wen Danzhe with a smile that seemed to reach his eyes.


    Wen Qinxi ignored Wen Danzhe''s senseless burble walking away in a humph. It seemed this was only the beginning of Wen Danzhe''s endless teasing.


    Wen Qinxi shook Qie Ranzhe awake to make him drink some water otherwise he would have a terrible hangover in the morning. Qie Ranzhe seemed well behaved at first sitting up straight with no qualms.


    He obediently drank the water and took a spoonful of congee watching Wen Qinxi with a vacant expression. But this docile look didn''tst long. It seemed the congee fueled him up as he immediately started misbehaving.


    "Baby, I am hungry," he said sliding his arms around Wen Qinxi''s waist drawing him closer with an aggrieved expression.


    Wen Qinxi ignored his bratty behaviour wringing out the towel in the basin.


    "I will get you another bowl," replied Wen Qinxi lifting the man''s chin in order to wipe his face.


    Qie Ranzhe licentiously licked his bottom lip while ogling at his prey like he was afraid it would slip away. He took Wen Qinxi''s warm hand that was on his chin and ced it on his crotch area clearly conveying the type of hunger he was feeling.


    Wen Qinxi, "....."


    The bulge felt hot to the touch but as he attempted to retract his hand, it was pressed down on the hardness making Wen Qinxi''s face red with a mobile expression. Qie Ranzhe even went as far as shamelessly rubbing against Wen Qinxi''s hand with his arousal growing harder.


    "Ran-ge..... I, I think we should uhm press the pause button. I am at my mother''s house for heaven sake," replied Wen Qinxi but his hand didn''t evacuate from the ignition source. It was like he knew the dangers associated with the mes but at the same time, he couldn''t help himself.


    Qie Ranzhe ced his hand at the back of Wen Qinxi''s neck and leaned in closer with lustful gazing sweeping over Wen Qinxi''s handsome face. "I get horny when I am drunk... AH..... and I want to fuck you," he said before biting his lower lip giving off the feeling of pure unadulterated seduction.


    His lips hovered over Wen Qinxi''s ear as he whispered in a deep alluring voice like a demon tempting him to eat the forbidden fruit. "I know you miss the feeling of my lips against your neck,... let daddy make you feel good."


    "Oh, Fuck me," swore Wen Qinxi. And no this wasn''t him implying that he wanted Qie Ranzhe to do this and that with him. He was actually swearing at himself for being weak but of course, Qie Ranzhe took it as an agreement.


    "dly," he said before suddenly grabbing Wen Qinxi and swiftly flipping him on the bed effectively pressing him down. Wen Qinxi felt his heart leap out off his chest as Qie Ranzhe''s hand pressed his hands down making it hard for him to escape.


    "So sexy," murmured Qie Ranzhe in a luscious voice as his hands roamed underneath Wen Qinxi''s t-shirt caressing his body.


    Wen Qinxi knew he should douse the fire before it spread but..... it felt so good with the pleasure amplified by the fear of getting caught. Qie Ranzhe''s eyes darkened staring at Wen Qinxi in a lecherous manner. His hardness slid on Wen Qinxi''s abdomen as he leaned down to kiss his lover''s vulnerable neck.


    His teeth sunk into Wen Qinxi''s neck as he sucked hard making the man beneath him wince in pain. It seemed in his drunken state he forgot that the nerd was afraid of pain because he sucked on his skin so hard like he was trying to directly draw blood withoutcerating the skin.


    Wen Qinxi wanted to push him off but the mix of pain and pleasure made him want more. He endured it till Qie Ranzhe finally let go but he soon realised that him letting go wasn''t because he wanted to continue ying but it was more like he fell asleep.


    Wen Qinxi only realised it when the person lying on top of him''s muscles rxed as hey motionless. He could feel Qie Ranzhe''s hardness poking his thigh but the owner was fast asleep. Wen Qinxi tried to muster the strength and push Qie Ranzhe off but it was an arduous task. This man weighed about 85 kilograms and that entire body weight was lying limply on top of him.


    While struggling, Wen Danzhe knocked on the bedroom door and entered only to find his brother underneath Qie Ranzhe.


    "Oh fuck no..... you do realise ma is next door, right?" he asked in a lowered voice while casually crossing his arms on his chest.


    "Argh..... I know... help me," replied Wen Qinxi trying to push Qie Ranzhe off but all his efforts were futile.


    Wen Danzhe had already realised that these two were up to no good. It''s just that one of them cked out before the main event leaving his brother in such a predicament.


    He sighed and walked over in unhurried footsteps. He pulled Qie Ranzhe up and sessfully freed his brother. After that, he mind his own business climbing up to the top bunk. "You two better restrain yourselves tonight otherwise I will tell on you," said Wen Danzhe from the top bunk but he was suddenly struck by an earbud case.


    "Use noise-cancelling function... just in case," replied Wen Qinxi from the bottom bunk.


    Wen Danzhe, "....."

 Chapter 528: Childish Prank

    Chapter 528: Childish Prank


    After settling Qie Ranzhe into bed, Wen Qinxi went to the kitchen to eat something. This day started off normally but ended in an unexpected way. Never in a million years would he have thought his mother would meet Qie Ranzhe like this.


    Not only that but she had got him drunk and possibly pried information out of him. He knew he should have spoken about this to his mother earlier but at the time he wasn''t ready.


    His mother always told him that as long as he is happy then she''s happy. That''s what his father wanted for them. Therefore it was a policy in the Wen house that one should always speak the truth nothing else but the truth which he sort of vited. Their parents might or would get angry but the truth had to be spoken.


    Thinking he could talk to his mother and appease her, he made her a cup of hot cocoa which was befitting for a person who is trying to coax someone. He stood by her door for a while with the steam from the cup wafting in the air as though detecting the freezing temperature inside that room. Wen Qinxi pulled on the drawstring of his hoodie to hide the hickey on his neck just in case it worsened the situation.


    He was a bit hesitant but he raised his hand and made a faint barely audible knock. That knock was entirely on purpose. If his mother doesn''t respond to that light knock that sounded like a fly identally hit the door then he would runoff. If she asks tomorrow he would say, "I came over but you didn''t respond, you were probably sleeping."


    Unfortunately for him, her ears were as sharp as a baby''s. In fact, her ears were so good that even the slightest movement in the apartment she would hear. She was like a walking talking burr rm. No thief could step into her apartment without getting caught.


    She flung open the door just as he was trying to make his escape startling Wen Qinxi. "Come in," she said before throwing herself on thefortable chair, "and shut the door behind you."


    ''No, I would rather leave it open,'' he thought but he stillplied. One thing he learnt growing up is that whenever his mother called him to the bedroom without asking for anything then that would be the first warning sign that he is in trouble. The second warning being when she tells him to close the door behind him. This meant he would be getting a beating.


    Depending on the severity of the crime the punishment tools would be the ultimate slipper of ass-whooping, the unrivalled belt of retribution or the worst of the worst the speech of rebuke.


    This only happened to him twice in his childhood but for Wen Danzhe it was a dozen times. He never thought he would be in this room of his own initiative in his 20s with no prior knowledge of what to expect. He ced the cup of cocoa on the side table and back paddled close to the door for an easy escape.


    "Sit," she said lifting the cup of cocoa her son made for her with great care. Wen Qinxiplied and sat on the bed opposite her. The words nervous and ufortable were written all over his face as he rubbed the back of his neck while averting his gaze.


    Mama Wen was scrutinizing her son as she took a sip. As always his cup of cocoa was as good as her husband''s. It''s a good thing he taught Wen Qinxi to make this before he died. She guessed he was leaving behind a piece of wisdom so his sons would be able to coax their mother when she''s upset.


    She slowly ced the cup down and crossed her arms on her chest. The tension in the air amplified almost suffocating Wen Qinxi. He swallowed hard as beads of cold sweatced his forehead. "Are....," said Mama Wen making Wen Qinxi''s feet shift towards the door. He looked like an athlete at the starting line of the 100m dash at the Olympics. He was just waiting for the pistol to go off so he can sprint out.


    "Are you using protection...," she said but Wen Qinxi didn''t even wait for her to finish. In fact, he didn''t even listen properly immediately going on the defence.


    "I know I was wrong. I should have told you but I wasn''t even certain myself that he would like me back so I couldn''te out with it. I didn''t want you to be disappointed, wait, what?..... oh... oh god.....," he said before closing his mouth with his hand, "Ma, why would you ask that?"


    He couldn''t understand his mother''s way of thinking. Shouldn''t she be upset about him being...? Not asking about him using.....?


    "Your life, your decision. I am just here as a backup. As long as you aren''t hurting yourself or others who am I to tell you who can make you happy? If you were doing drugs or robbing people then I would intervene but you aren''t hurting anyone or yourself, are you?" she said looking straight into his eyes.


    Wen Qinxi felt his eyes sting a little as they slowly reddened. He could only count himself lucky for having such a reasonable parent. He rubbed his eyes and shook his head, "No, I am not hurting anyone including myself."


    "Then are you happy?" she asked leaning forward with her probing gaze still fixed on his eyes as though looking for signs of deception or sincerity.


    "Yes, I am happy..... I am very happy," he said as the floodgates opened resulting in an overspill of emotions.


    "Thene to mum," she said opening her arms wide for a hug. Wen Qinxi disregarded his age and embraced his mother like he used to do in preschool. That warmth caused his emotions to gush out to the point where he couldn''t hold back his tears.


    They say men shouldn''t cry but damn it aren''t men human too? Mama Wen felt her chest tighten seeing this so she stroked his hair infort and spoke in a soothing voice. "Why are you crying? Didn''t mummy ept your decision so why are you crying, huh?..... Your father would be so proud of you," she said kissing the top of his head affectionately.


    After crying it out and having his mother coax him like he was a baby again, Wen Qinxi finally returned to the bedroom and slipped under the quilt. The lights were off and Wen Danzhe was probably sleeping so he didn''t turn them on and slipped into bed. He used the light from the street to look at Qie Ranzhe''s sleeping face when he noticed something.


    "Fuck! Danzhe! Wake the fuck up..... What did you do to his face? You do know he has work tomorrow, right? Oh my god..... it''s noting off," said Wen Qinxi trying to remove the permanent marker drawn on Qie Ranzhe''s face.


    Wen Danzhe was especially ruthless. He drew two circles around Qie Ranzhe''s eyes and an unnatural looking moustache and beard from the 1920s. The culprit wanted to y possum but he couldn''t resist snickering under his breath.

 Chapter 529: The Drought Is Over, Not

    Chapter 529: The Drought Is Over, Not


    Wen Qinxi got off the bottom bunk and hit him with a pillow. "You are... such an..... asshole," he said whacking him with a pillow each time he paused.


    Wen Danzheughed even louder attracting Mama Wen''s attention. She pushed the door open shushing them. "What are you two making so much noise for? You are going to wake him up," she said angrily pointing at the both of them.


    Wen Qinxi threw the pillow in his younger brother''s face and said, "Ma, look what he did? He drew on his face," with his hands presenting his case.


    Mama Wen''s expression changed as she reprimanded her youngest son. "How old are you? How can you be ying such a childish prank at your age.... tsk? Both of you go to bed," she said before closing the door while mumbling something.


    "Haha..... I think he looks better this way..... Ouch!" said Wen Danzhe before another pillow was thrown at him a heavier continental pillow this time.


    Eight hourster everyone was sitting at the breakfast table the atmosphere awkward to the extreme. One had been scolded for drawing on his brother inw''s face, one still had a permanent marker on his face, the other had a purple hickey he forgot to cover up this morning and Mama Wen was the presiding judge towering over everyone.


    "Here eat some more," she said cing some food in Qie Ranzhe''s bowl but her eyes were on the obvious hickey Wen Qinxi was trying to hide. "Ah-Qi will use some sunscreen to remove that... on your face," referring to Wen Danzhe''s terrible artwork.


    "And you," she said looking at the culprit who started all this mess, "you are going shopping with me."


    Wen Danzhe''s expression sank feeling like there was no worse punishment. Mama Wen''s shopping strategy wasn''t the best. If she found something she liked she would try and bargain. If the negotiations failed she would walk around the entire market square to find an alternative only to go back to the first store and buy it.


    Even when you give her the money she would continue bargaining. It couldn''t be helped as it was in her DNA. Wen Danzhe didn''t want to spend a cold day running around a mall with an indecisive woman.


    He put down his chopsticks and said, "Ma! Didn''t you buy stuff yesterday? We are only the three of us for the spring festival so what else do you want to buy? Qi-ge can just make some noodles and there is your spring festival..... ouch," he yelped rubbing the back of his head that had been smacked by his mother.


    Wen Danzhe was merely barking because he knew he couldn''t get out of this. Even the excuse of going to school couldn''t be used. Two hourster, he unwillingly followed his mother out of the apartment like an obedient pug.


    He wanted to drag Wen Qinxi into it but his mother wouldn''t allow it. This left the two adults alone in the apartment with no one hindering them to do what they like.


    The two stood in front of a mirror in the bathroom with one of them applying some sunscreen on the permanent marker on his man''s face while the other was struggling to stand still. It was as though he had drunk three cans of energy drink all in one go. His hands and body couldn''t stay still touching and poking Wen Qinxi like a restless kid.


    "If you don''t stop I am going to leave you to do it yourself," threatened Wen Qinxi standing on his tiptoes as he applied the cream on Qie Ranzhe''s fake moustache.


    Qie Ranzhe grinned with one hand fondling Wen Qinxi''s waist and the other hand brushing against the hickey on his neck. "Did it hurt a lot?" he said with his body pressing against Wen Qinxi''s.


    Wen Qinxi ignored his suggestive behaviour and replied, "What do you think?" pretending to be focused on his work.


    "I am sorry. I drank a lotst night. Is she mad at me? I think I might have embarrassed myself," he said with his hands slipping inside Wen Qinxi''s t-shirt. He bit his lower lip with seductive undertones as his gaze slowly swept over Wen Qinxi''s entire body.


    Wen Qinxi wiped off the sunscreen taking with it some of the permanent marker and smiled knowing that his mother''s suggestion was working.


    "Why are you always acting horny all the time? Let me just finish this then we can talk," replied Wen Qinxi trying to act calm. That cool hand touching his skin made him feel hot with a nice feeling spreading all over his body.


    "Is it my fault that you are that sexy," he said before lifting him up and cing him on the sink countertop. He parted Wen Qinxi''s legs and slipped in with his member rubbing against his lover.


    Wen Qinxi suppressed a smile as he continued applying the cream on top of Qie Ranzhe''s eyes. He found it funny that Qie Ranzhe was hitting on him with a marker circled on his eyes and that weird-looking beard. "Stop..... I will let you do as you please once we get home. If we do it here I will feel bad," he said but it was as if he was talking to himself because Qie Ranzhe''s unruly hand found itself inside Wen Qinxi''s cks with his other hand on the mirror as he leaned down to kiss him.


    The sunscreen from the top of his eye smeared on Wen Qinxi''s hair as he sucked on the nerd''s lips. It seemed after a week of drought, the rain had finallye. Well, not exactly because.....


    Click!... Bang!...


    "Ma, how could you forget your bank card. Do you know how embarrassed it was when the driver asked for payment?... Why couldn''t you pay with WeChat?.... I need to get a fuckin car," yelled Wen Danzhe as he spoke to his mother on the phone.


    Qie Ranzhe quickly took his hand out of Wen Qinxi''s pants and closed the door. The look on his face was that of a fed-up person. He needed to get Wen Qinxi to his apartment asap and maybe.... buy a car for his mother inw so they wouldn''t be interrupted in the future.


    While he was frustrated, Wen Qinxi was having a field day snickering. It seemed the universe was against them having any sort of sexual interaction. "You are loving this, aren''t you?..... let''s go to my apartment and will see If you can stillugh after that," said Qie Ranzhe pulling Wen Qinxi closer by his waist.


    "You keep fooling around when we are supposed to be at work?" replied Wen Qinxi ogling at his lover as he wrapped his hands around Qie Ranzhe''s neck.


    "Because I am the boss."


    Well, it would be a miracle if he doesn''t go bankrupt because he is out ying truant a lot ever since he left gship. Thankfully, gship was bound to be a sessful project otherwise Wen Qinxi would have to drag him by the ear to the office.

    Chapter 530: Thirst Surpasses Fear Of Pain


    Wen Qinxi felt like someone somewhere was intentionally screwing with him because the moment he solved one problem another one arose. He had managed to talk things out with his mother who was very epting of him which was really great.


    The thing was before he could heave a sigh of relief something unexpected happened. Earlier on, the two of them left his mother''s apartment and passed by Wen Qinxi''s ce before heading for work which they were a littlete for.


    After a productive and non-eventful workday, Wen Qinxi decided to buy groceries on his way home. Because Qie Ranzhe had an urgent meeting concerning the trial, Wen Qinxi left earlier to buy ingredients for dinner and buy something a little special for their first time.


    He knew it would be painful from what he read online but..... he was thirsty to the extreme. He could have held off longer but under Qie Ranzhe''s constant provocation he couldn''t bear it. For instance, right after the bathroom incident in the morning when they got to his ce, Qie Ranzhe deliberately stripped naked right in front of him and shamelessly invited him to take a shower together.


    Faced with that muscr toned body with long legs and his instrument standing at half-mast while pointing at him, Wen Qinxi couldn''t deny it any longer. His thirst outweighed his fear of pain. He wanted it so bad that he decided to make necessary preparations and conquer his man.


    But just as he left the mall heading for Qie Ranzhe''s car where the driver was waiting for him, he was suddenly ambushed. Someone pulled him by the cor and pushed him against the wall without warning.


    This was the first time outside gship that he faced any sort of threat which undoubtedly scared him. This was the reason why Qie Ranzhe insisted he brought along a bodyguard which he had stubbornly refused settling on a driver instead.


    It was because of his tant refusal that he was being attacked for reasons unknown. A hard punchnded on his face making him grimace in pain but before he could even make sense of what was happening, he was suddenly kneed in the abdomen which was unexpected.


    He fell to the ground with an excruciating ache spreading from where he was hit. Wen Qinxi was in turmoil as hey on the filthy floor of the underground parking. His mind was spinning as he struggled to figure out who he had offended. Based on past experience he could only think of one person he met who could have issues with him and that was Kai Zi.


    The assant crouched before him and painfully pinched both his cheeks forcing him to look up. His blurred vision regained rity as he focused his gaze towards the direction he was being forced to face.


    His ears were ringing from the punch earlier but he could clearly hear the distinct sound of footsteps echoing in the parking lot. A man that closely resembled Qie Ranzhe appeared before him.


    At first, he thought it was him but on closer examination this man was of a shorter build and apart from the eyes they were twopletely different people. His heart jolted in fright when he realised who it was.


    Qie Anzhie kicked the bags scattered on the ground with maliciousughter escaping his throat. From thatughter alone one could tell how proud he was in this moment.


    "So this is what my brother is into.... hahaha... interesting. I really don''t see it. Surely he had better options than you," he said with his gaze attracted to the brown paper bag that had spilt over some of its contents exposing delicate things that people would normally shy away from.


    Wen Qinxi was too angry to feel ashamed. He wanted to curse this person but found he couldn''t because his face was being pinched tightly. He was forced to watch Wen Qinxi grab the bottle of lubricant from the brown paper bag. Luckily Qie Anzhie didn''t look deeper into that bag otherwise he would have seen even more horrifying things.


    He opened the top and sniffed it with a contemptuous look on his face. "Hahaha..... You actually sold your ass to him? How much did it cost.... how much are you worth? I will pay double the amount if you work for me," he said before crouching down before him, "all you have to do is tell all of my half brother''s secrets." With that said, his finger reached over to stroke Wen Qinxi''s face but he was avoided. Wen Qinxi used his entire strength to pull away from the man''s hold avoiding Qie Anzhie''s filthy hands.


    "Fuck off," were the words he spoke making Qie Anzhie''s expression darken in an instant.


    Out of anger he stood up and unscrewed the cap of the bottle of lubricant and poured all of its contents on Wen Qinxi''s body. Wen Qinxi closed his eyes as the lovely fragrance of watermelon assaulted his nose. What was a scent associated with beautiful memories had been tainted by this childish man with no moralpass?


    Qie Anzhie tossed the bottle to the side in disgust and said, "Beat him up for me till he changes his mind.... call me with the result."


    "Sir, what if he refuses?" asked the henchman seeking permission to kill.


    "Then get rid of him. He will be of no use to me anyway," replied Qie Anzhie before walking away. As soon as he left the henchman grinned maliciously as he shoved Wen Qinxi to the ground.


    He towered over him like a lion standing over its prey. "Let''s see how long you willst," he said reaching over to drag him to his van nearby but before he could even touch the hem of his jacket, someone tackled him from behind.


    His body hit the ground with a loud thud but before he could react there was a sh from the barrel of a gun. Wen Qinxi wanted to look in that direction but Qie Ranzhe''s driver stopped him from looking. "Sir, are you okay?..... We have to get you to safety," he said blocking Wen Qinxi''s view of whatever was happening over there.


    Wen Qinxi just shook his head but his mind was in a state of chaos. The driver led him out of the undercover parking lot and drove straight to Qie Ranzhe''s apartment. The ck SUV drove in at remarkable speed. It would be a miracle if they didn''t get a speeding ticket.


    As soon as he reached Qie Ranzhe''s apartment, he barely had time to admire the sophisticated interior design as he was still shaken. He hadn''t been in that ce for more than five minutes when Machu walked in with a grim face.


    Wen Qinxi vaguely heard Machu cursing Qie Anzhie a thousand times over as he examined him. He was like a mindless zombie doing as told with no resistance at all. He had experienced this kind of situation in gship but it was a whole different tier when he experienced it in the real world. He didn''t dare think of the assant, whether he was dead or alive. He just wanted one person but that person wasn''t around.

    Chapter 531: Just An Older Brother Disciplining An Unruly Younger Brother


    "Where is Ran-ge?" he finally asked with great effort after regaining his voice.


    Machu paused checking his pulse trying to look for a less horrifying answer, "He... um, he is cleaning... house. Yes, cleaning house." He felt like pping himself for not looking for a better excuse. Cleaning house? What cleaning house? Had the CEO demoted himself into a janitor?


    Lucky for him Wen Qinxi''s IQ had received a heavy blow. He simply nodded like an obedient child and said, "Okay. I will wait for him to finish."


    Machu, "..."


    Well, that''s that. The nerd was most likely punched silly. While Machu was pondering on whether to take Wen Qinxi to a hospital and scan his brain for damage or not, Qie Ranzhe was hunting his brother down aka cleaning house.


    Qie Anzhie was rtively easy to find. Even if he had gone in hiding Qie Ranzhe would have smoked him out with ease. As expected he found that little brat in his night club downtown. As soon as he stepped out of the car, Qie Ranzhe''s bodyguard handed him a baseball bat and said, "Sir, are you sure you don''t want firepower?"


    Qie Ranzhe took the baseball bat and said, "Too noisy," in a cold indifferent tone. Who knows what was going on in this CEO''s head. When he heard what happened to his boyfriend he was incredibly pissed off and began starting fires like an arsonist.


    Since the Qie family didn''t want to stay out of his business then he could only beat their precious baby boy ck and blue. Maybe that would get his message across. He swaggered into the club, bat in hand and from his expression one could tell he meant business. Club security tried to stop them but they were simply no match to Qie Ranzhe''s men.


    The boisterous club was soon empty with the security guards knocked out cold. Because Qie Anzhie was in a soundproof private VIP room he didn''t hear anything. One can only imagine his expression when Qie Ranzhe burst into the private room with a bat in hand.


    The girl who was giving him head on her knees almost bit his junior off in fright. Qie Anzhie smacked her across the face as he grimaced in pain. He quickly covered up his junior brother glowering at Qie Ranzhe who had just interrupted his therapeutic session.


    "What the fuck do you think you are doing?" asked Qie Anzhie with a menacing stare, "just because you started that stupidpany it doesn''t make you shit. I have the backing of the Qie empire now get the fuck out."


    Qie Anzhie''s speech was threatening but one could clearly tell who was the domineering sibling here. Qie Anzhie was like a noisy toothless bulldog all bark no bite. Qie Ranzhe didn''t even think twice, he swung that bat instantly breaking Qie Anzhie''s arm.


    Bloodcurdling screams permeated the air as Qie Anzhie copsed to the ground. His screams turned to sobs with mucus running down his nose. With his trembling hand he took out his cellphone to issue an emergency call but Qie Ranzhe walked over and took the cellphone in his hand.


    He took a look at the device as though seriously considering something. He suddenly threw the cellphone smashing it into pieces against the wall. The sound of the smashing phone scared the girl who was hugging her knees in the corner in fright.


    It was then Qie Ranzhe recalled her presence. He crouched down in front of her and asked, "How old are you?" The girl looked no older than fourteen with the now ruined makeup revealing her true age. Qie Ranzhe passed her his handkerchief for her to wipe her tear-stained face.


    He had long known his brother delve into this kind of dirty business but since they didn''t step into each other''s territories, Qie Ranzhe ignored it. He didn''t touch Qie Anzhie because he didn''t choose to be born from two fornicators.


    Since he didn''t have a choice in picking his parents he didn''t me him. As long as he kept to himself there would be no problem but of course, that was only wishful thinking. Qie Anzhie came looking for trouble himself and it was this big brother''s responsibility to discipline his younger brother where the parents failed.


    The girl wiped away her tears removing some of the makeup in the process. "I... I am four-fourteen," she said sniffling as the tears streamed down her face.


    "Follow this big sister outside and she will take you somewhere safe, okay?" he said before helping her up. He had a female bodyguard in his team and thought the girl would trust her more.


    "Why the fuck wo-would you touch my property?! She is mi-," yelled Qie Anzhie but he couldn''t finish his words as the baseball bat struck him twice breaking his corbone and rib.


    Qie Ranzhe picked him up by his hair and dragged him out of the private room. The man looked a mess with thick blood oozing at the corner of his lips. Qie Ranzhe tossed him in the back seat and personally drove to the Qie family mansion.


    The superimposing roar from the enginewas heard within the mansion annoying the Qie family that had gathered in advance for the approaching spring festival. Qie Ranzhe didn''t even wait for them to open the gate for him directly smashing into the gate like a deranged person. The security personnel surrounded the car once it stopped in front of the mansion.


    They were about to retaliate when they saw Qie Ranzhe step out of the car. Several other vehicles followed driving into the property before surrounding the security. Several men got out of the vehicles the implication obvious even to a blind cat.


    Qie Ranzhe dragged Qie Anzhie by the hair into the Qie mansion. The servants wanted to say something but the amount of oppressive forceing from Qie Ranzhe deterred them. They simply faded into the background like this had absolutely nothing to do with them. Two young masters fighting was a normal Tuesday for them.


    They even lost count of how many times the young miss fought with young master Anzhie. The butler ordered the servants to clean the streaks of blood from Qie Anzhie as he ran to call the doctor.


    Thud!


    Was the sound of Qie Anzhie''s body dropping on the ground followed by loud cries. "AAAAAAHHHHHHH! My baby... you monster!" screamed Madam Qie version 2.0 trying to get to her son but Qie Ranzhe took out a handgun from god knows where and pointed it at Qie Anzhie''s leg as he slumped into the nearby couch. That had her stop in her tracks turning her anger towards her husband.


    "The rule was you stay out of my business and I stay out of yours but I guess that''s off the table....," said Qie Ranzhe in a heavy tone putting the fear of god inside Master Qie.

 Chapter 532: Faceslapping Season

    Chapter 532: Facepping Season


    Having drawn out his gun, things escted from zero to a hundred in a split second. He wasn''t an unreasonable person but they just had to stir up shit for no apparent reason. They ruined his mother but he knew one can''t force love so he epted things as they were and helped his mother recover.


    They took his inheritance after his grandfather''s death but he didn''t do anything. Yes, he knew about it but he had a very good reason not to fight back. It was because he wasn''t willing to work like a donkey and keep this vile family''s pockets fat and full. He wasn''t stupid. He would rather watch them destroy themselves than work for them.


    And now their brat had taken it upon himself to screw with someone very important to him so how could he let them go unscathed? This would teach this little asshole to stay as far away as possible from his business.


    Qie Ranzhe grinned like an evil fiend watching as he scanned the lounge full of people. His aunt Qie Guaiwu and her husband were there. There was also his half-sister sitting at the far end of the room watching the show with great interest. His uncles of distant rtion were also there with their families but they weren''t the highlight of this show.


    Mr Zhao, his wife and Zhao Huangzhi were also there staring at him with an assortment of reactions which was pretty amusing. There was only one meaning to this gathering that he wasn''t invited to. He was their main subject of discussion. How interesting.


    Qie Ranzhe let out a throaty chuckle with his dark sinister eyes resembling those of a psychopath on the prowl. He tapped the trigger with his finger and said, "Sorry, I didn''t know that you all had gathered here to talk about me. Now that we are all here you can carry on. I am listening."


    Mr Qie was more than embarrassed by his son''s brazen behaviour. He was angry but he had to simmer his rage down because he still needed Qie Ranzhe''s help otherwise their business will sink at an incredibly fast rate.


    "Ahem... how about you put that dangerous thing away and we discuss this like normal adults. Look Xiao An is in a bad condition. How about you let him see a doctor. No matter what he did you are still brothers, aren''t you?..... You don''t want him to die do you?" said Mr Qie seeming like a very caring father but Qie Ranzhe wasn''t stupid.


    Qie Ranzhe smirked while rubbing his thumb with his index finger to soothe the beast within that was ready to burst out. Lord knows how much self-restraint he was exercising right now.


    "No need, he most definitely won''t die easily. Stay in a hospital for a very long time, yes but death, no. I am more interested in what you were discussing in my absence.... Ah..... let me guess. You want me toe back to the family business and solve the shit you started, isn''t it? And to boost your share market price you want me to marry her and p a band-aid to the sinking ship, is that it?..... Well, let me save you some time and tell it like it is. It''s not going to happen."


    "You lost this war a long time ago when you brought this bitch home who even named her son almost the exact name as mine. Just because you can make a copy.... it doesn''t mean they are as good as the original,"


    Madam Qie version 2.0 seemed to have her sour spot poked at by this annoying brat that she almost lunged at him in anger. It was Qie Guaiwu who held her back so she could only point at him with her long acrylic nails expressing her outrage.


    "Who do you think you are calling a bitch? You ungrateful bastard. How dare you?" she yelled struggling to free herself from her sister inw.


    Qie Ranzhe found her angry appearance amusing so he poked at her again with no reservations. "Isn''t it An-er over here the bastard because I was born legitimate but him on the other hand..... well," he said deliberately starting something.


    "You!...," she said at a loss on what to say so she could only turn to her husband for support, "Why don''t you do something? He is disrespecting me right in front of you. Do something!"


    Mr Qie sent a vicious re her way telling her to shut up but of course, she wouldn''t back down easily. She was about to yell once more when Qie Guaiwu interjected. "How can you be this disrespectful to your elders? As expected of Dai Lee''s son....," she said seeding in angering Qie Ranzhe.


    "Oh wow aunt, you are the one to talk. You knew about this affair for years and didn''t say anything. I am guessing you condoned it and helped your brother conceal the fact that he was a man whore for years all for the benefits my mother''s family brought. Do you think I am fucking blind... you shut the fuck up," with thest sentence referring to Qie Anzhie whose groans had amplified like he was about to give birth or something.


    Qie Anzhie was so terrified that he whimpered under his breath as hey on the cold floor.


    "You think I don''t know what you and thatwyer Miyu Ren did when grandfather died? I have known all your dirty little secrets for a long time. I didn''t fight because I was weak or afraid of taking you on. The reason why I didn''t put up a fight was because I wasn''t about to lose my youth working like an ass so that all of you can live cushyfortable lives at my expense."


    "So your children can sip pina cdas in Venice while I can''t catch a break working myself to death? Haha..... I am not naive and gullible enough to fall for your nonsense. Not only that but you would also dictate who I can marry and spend the rest of my life with. Not a fucking fat chance."


    "Good thing your ego got the best of you and you robbed me blind. I have to be grateful to you for that. That''s the onlymendable thing you have done for me as a father," he said offloading all the grievances he held back for years and never disclosed.


    The entire lounge fell into deafening silence hearing this. Some were surprised by this startling revtion but the four orchestrators of this n were sickly pale staring at Qie Ranzhe with a look of astonishment.


    All these years they thought they had outsmarted him sessfully acquiring what belonged to him but that wasn''t necessarily true.

    Chapter 533: Facepping Season Two


    They had instead yed right into his hands.


    What they didn''t know was that his grandfather had his reasons to pick Qie Ranzhe and it wasn''t only because of his unparalleled gift. It was also because of the new projects he had and arge foreign clientele base he could attract.


    GameX was the first baby he grew from the ground up but when he left the Qie family he took with him various projects in industrial engineering together with its clients.


    If he had taken over as chairman like he was supposed to then the Qie family empire would have been the richest family in the entire eastern seaboard. That''s why it never broke his heart that his father and his entire family betrayed him because they only betrayed themselves. They robbed themselves of all the benefits that could have belonged to them.


    "With that said, we had an agreement. This is yourst warning. Stay the fuck out of my business and I will stay out of yours. You lost the right to use me when you kicked my mother out of the Qie family for that slut over there," he said before standing up to leave.


    He felt suffocated being surrounded by vipers and just wanted to go home and cuddle with his sweetheart. But before he took a step, his father stopped him and said, "You still belong to the Qie family so you are obligated as a family member to pick up some ck and do your part...."


    Qie Ranzhe ambled over to him with the anger in his eyes apparent. "Father have you forgotten that we severed our rtionship before I left this house. Your new wife made me sign the document before I left and you must have signed it too otherwise my name would be on the family registry. I might have the surname Qie but I have no rtion to any of you so don''t fuckin bother me again."


    It was true. This did happen but at that time she thought he didn''t notice what it was. She foolishly believed he hadn''t noticed as she had piled it up with other documents. Who would have thought that not only did he know but he also signed it on purpose?


    Mr Qie was even easier to fool. All she had to do was part her legs open and distract him enough to sign his rights as a father away. That way she wouldn''t have to worry about Qie Ranzheing back to take everything away from her son.


    She also understood that business wasn''t going well and they needed that whore''s son to fix things but she knew he was no longer part of the Qie family. She remembered what she did but sincerely hoped that no one else knew. Who would have thought this brat knew what he was signing back then. Now her husband had finally found out the truth after so many years.


    "Is it true? Did you?... Answer me!" yelled Mr Qie glowering at her with his bloodshot eyes.


    Qie Ranzhe walked over Qie Anzhie as chaos ensued in the lounge.


    He could hear a loud Pa sound echoing in the air followed by Mrs Qie''s high pitched shrieks. "How dare you hit me? You hit me..... wuwuwu," she cried as the others struggled to hold the livid master of the house back.


    "I am going to kill her..... I am going to fuckin kill her! Let go of me..... that bitch is tired of living," were Mr Qie''s angry screams.


    Qie Ranzhe had thrown the final matchstick that ignited the fumes. He naturally didn''t have any reason to stay here and burn with the rest of them. Just as he stepped outside, he was suddenly hugged from behind as Zhao Huangzhi''s chokingly strong perfume assaulted his senses.


    Before he could say anything she started speaking so fast expressing her strong desire to be with him but she was talking to the wrong person. Whatever feelings he had for Zhao Huangzhi back then they were all but chaff blown away by the wind.


    "I only came here because I wanted to get back what your younger brother stole from you. If we get married my family would help your family then you would also be powerful enough to stand against your younger brother... I, I didn''t think you didn''t want toe back. Tell me how else I can help you? I can give you anything you won''t just be with me, okay? Just don''t let yourself be blinded by that vixen. He is nothing good," she said sniffling in tears.


    "Last strike," said Qie Ranzhe peeling her hands off him.


    Zhao Huangzhi''s body stiffened with her hands being roughly pulled apart. She stopped resisting and asked, "What do you mean?" She stood in front of Qie Ranzhe, her lips pouted and eyes red. Such a pitiful weak appearance could arouse any man''s desire to protect her all except one.


    Qie Ranzhe was as cold and indifferent as ever as he said, "This was yourst strike so tell your father he better be ready for what''sing. Don''t you ever show up in front of me and my family again otherwise I will take everything and leave all of you penniless?" As soon as he said this he walked away leaving behind a dumbstruck Zhao Huangzhi.


    She knew he was a force not to be reckoned with but that is exactly why she was attracted to him. But who would have thought he would be this ruthless towards her? She squatted on the ground and hugged her knees crying creating a cringe-worthy scene that had the nearby servants confused on what to do.


    Qie Ranzhe got into the car feeling heavier than he did before. It seemed digging up old wounds weighed heavy on his heart as he slumped into the passenger seat with his long fingers on his temple. He reached for his cellphone and dialled a series of numbers as they drove out of the Qie Mansion. It was about time he upgrades the house fire into a full-blown wildfire and tame all those people who went against him starting with Qie Anzhie.


    Once the future and only heir of the Qie family is ruined then the entire family will crumble right before their very eyes. The call on the other side was picked up but the person remained silent. All one could hear was the muffled sound of breathing.


    "Now," said Qie Ranzhe before cutting the line. All it took was one word. One word to burn two families to ash all in one go. By tomorrow morning their lives would never be the same again. While he would be in the warm embrace of his lover their world will be up in smoke.

 Chapter 534: Sweet Fluff

    Chapter 534: Sweet Fluff


    Qie Ranzhe felt like he had just offloaded a huge weight off his shoulders but he could still feel the after-effects of having carried such a huge weight around for years. When he arrived at his apartment he found Machu sitting on the couch with his earphones on.


    Because he couldn''t hear anything, Qie Ranzhe easily walked towards him and silently stood behind him staring at what this good old doctor was watching. He leaned down with his hands in his pockets and said, "Why not just get her number," with a raised brow.


    Machu experienced a terrifying jump scare with his cellphone flipping out of his butterfingers. "Shit!.....," he swore almost falling off the couch, "You almost gave me a fuckin heart attack... geez."


    "How is he?" he asked taking small steps towards the stairs.


    Machu stood up and stretched out his hand gesturing for him to stop. "He was pretty shaken so I had to sedate him so he could calm down. His wounds aren''t serious but there is a slight cut on his bottom lip and swelling on his cheek. Other than that he is fine," exined Machu demonstrating with his hand where Wen Qinxi''s wounds were.


    "Thanks," replied Qie Ranzhe his mind at ease, "I will get you her number as a reward."


    Machu''s eyes were shifty as he suddenly turned bashful while rubbing the back of his neck nervously. "Look at her..... she''s like the goddess of psychology. Airen is a master in her field so what makes you think she would even notice a small fry like me?" replied Machu locking his cellphone.


    He had been watching her psychology online sses which he paid to watch but didn''t think he would get caught. They had gone to the same university but they barely had any kind of interaction which is why he didn''t have her number.


    "Already on a first-name basis yet you refuse my help.... tsk, you should practice what you preach," replied Qie Ranzhe having a face-pping moment. There is a saying that birds of the same feather flock together which is basically true considering that both of them had some type of crush on someone but never had the balls to confess. They were in the same boat up until now.


    "Ha..... forget it, let''s talk about something else like... Gecko had... um... he was drenched in lubricant when he got here. I think it was watermelon voured," he said rubbing his chin in contemtion, "Are you two..... you know..... ahem?"


    Qie Ranzhe felt his stomach churn at his words. He didn''t know what to think at this point. They hadn''t but they nned to so where did thate from. Thest question was answered when Machu picked up a brown paper bag from the floor and handed it over to him.


    Qie Ranzhe curiously opened the brown paper bag and what he saw set off fireworks in his mind as a subtle smile appeared on his face. The bag was from a store called Dirty Kitty which somewhat matched with the brown bag''s contents. He quickly closed the bag and cleared his throat as his ears turned red.


    "Just make sure you use protection because ha ha ha... you don''t want to get him pregnant as of yet... fuck!" swore Machu as a slipper was sent flying in his direction. He quickly dodged dashing towards the door. He opened the door and exited the apartment but two secondster he opened the door again and said, "He is sedated so don''t screw him till he wakes up.....," with his head peeking through the gap in the door.


    Bang!


    It was the sound of a slipper hitting the door which made him hurriedly withdraw his head while closing the door. He ced his hand on his chest and said to himself, "Phew.... that was a close one," before walking away.


    With the light bulb thrown out of the apartment, Qie Ranzhe walked up the stairs in big strides. He wanted to try out all these new toys Wen Qinxi bought but it seemed it wouldn''t be possible today because of the sedation.


    Since Wen Qinxi was sleeping he decided to take a shower first and wash away the filth from outside before seeing his lover. He not only fought today but he was also hugged by that stupid woman and didn''t want to embrace his lover with all that filth on his body.


    He took a long shower scrubbing his body like he had been exposed to radioactive material. By the time he got out of the shower, he had visible patches of pinkish skin. He wrapped a towel around his lower half and looked at his body in the mirror.


    Abination of his damp hair sticking to his forehead, faint water droplets tracing his well-built muscles and those dazzling phoenix eyes gave off this tantalizing image that could have anyone drooling.


    His eyes lingered on the precious tattoo on his chest making him smile unconsciously. He lifted his finger to touch it when the bathroom door was suddenly pushed open. Who else could it be when there was only the two of them in this house. Wen Qinxi resembled a walking corpse with half-lidded eyes. With only one look Qie Ranzhe could tell his lover was barely lucid trotting over.


    Qie Ranzhe turned to face him curious to see what this high puppy wanted to do. His heart twisted painfully when he saw Wen Qinxi''s partially swollen cheek and bruised lip. He unconsciously clenched his fists in anger. He regretted not shooting both of his younger brother''s legs at least then the idiot won''t be able to walk and cause trouble.


    He reached out to touch Wen Qinxi''s face when the nerd directly slumped on his body like he was afortable bed. "Why did you wake up, huh?... Let me take you back to bed," said Qie Ranzhe before kissing Wen Qinxi''s lips.


    The high nerd weakly shook his head as he struggled toe up with the right response. "You.... uh.... youte. I miss you soo much," replied Wen Qinxi with his speech grammatically incorrect but Qie Ranzhe could understand his meaning.


    Qie Ranzhe''s fingers slipped into Wen Qinxi''s hair with a pleasant sensation spreading in between his fingers. He gently closed his eyes as he sniffed Wen Qinxi''s hair which smelt like citrus with a hint of watermelon.


    It seemed Wen Qinxi had used the shampoo he bought for him when he nned on moving his lover into his apartment in the future. The watermelon was probably from the lubricant Qie Anzhie emptied on top of his head.


    His other arm wrapped around Wen Qinxi''s waist as he muttered, "I am sorry I didn''t protect you enough," with his nose yfully lingering around Wen Qinxi''s ear and hair.

    Chapter 535: Sweet Delicious Fluff


    Wen Qinxi didn''t seem to be listening as he was focused on the unintentional scalp massage going on at the back of his head. "Ahh... ah-um," we''re the low groans escaping his red lips indicating how much he liked the massage.


    "Let me take you to bed," suggested Qie Ranzhe lightly patting his back.


    Wen Qinxi shook his head and whispered his refusal, "No..... ke-keep giving me a massage. Hmm.... that''s nice."


    Qie Ranzhe chortled lightly embracing him tighter. "What if I sleep beside you would you go?"


    "Mn," replied Wen Qinxi with his chinzily resting on Qie Ranzhe''s shoulder. Qie Ranzhe grabbed either side of his waist and pulled him up. Just like a secondary response, Wen Qinxi wrapped his legs around Qie Ranzhe''s waist with his hands on the man''s neck.


    "Daddy Ran is so strong," said Wen Qinxi with a sheepish smile. Qie Ranzhe bit his lower lip gulping down a mouthful of saliva to suppress his desire to just take off the man''s pants and directly plunder his treasure.


    "Mn..... you will be the fuckin death of me, you know that right?" he said fondling Wen Qinxi''s tight ass each hand on one cheek. The feeling of having these two peaks in his hands gave rise to an inexplicable heat that he had been suppressing with great restraint all this time.


    He had to get rid of the temptation before hemitted a sin with a patient high on sleeping pills. Qie Ranzhe carried Wen Qinxi out of the bathroom effortlessly andid him on the bed. He was about to get off the bed when Wen Qinxi''s arms wrapped around his neck refusing to let him go.


    Staring at the man lying underneath him he said, "Don''t make trouble otherwise I will make you regret it," with a sly smile on his face.


    Wen Qinxi didn''t take his warning seriously and kept poking the bear without considering the consequences. "Daddy Ran, I am hungry," he spoke in a coquettish voice that had the heat from Qie Ranzhe''s chest spread down south in a sh. Whenever Wen Qinxi called him that he felt an urge to tear open his clothes and thrust deep into his crevice till he can''t remember his own name.


    The knot on the towel covering his lower half showed signs of unravelling as the tent got pitched. His member was hard already as he made onest attempt to convince Wen Qinxi that this was in no way shape or form a good idea.


    "Baby, daddy is tired and can''t feed you right now so be good and go to sleep, okay?"


    Wen Qinxi chuckled like a viin as he dazedly shook his head while biting his lower lip. He had already received two warnings which meant the third one was thest strike.


    Qie Ranzhe lowered his body for a kiss with his hand gliding over Wen Qinxi''s silk pyjama shirt. Wen Qinxi extended his tongue out and licked Qie Ranzhe''s lips making the CEO groan in pleasure. He obediently opened his mouth letting Wen Qinxi''s moist tongue slide inside.


    The nerd''s tongue yfully teased Qie Ranzhe''s wrapping and twirling resulting in an indescribable sensation stimting their nerve endings. Wen Qinxi then kissed his chin and slowly worked his way down to Qie Ranzhe''s adam''s apple bulging in his throat.


    This was an obvious deration of war loosening the restrictions on Qie Ranzhe''s desires. He shifted gears from being the provoked to the provoker pressing down Wen Qinxi''s wrist above his head with one hand while the other slipped underneath the man''s shirt.


    He deepened the kiss licking and sucking on this delicacy that served itself to him on a silver tter. His breathing turned frantic as he hurriedly unbuttoned the soft fabric holding him back. With the buttons opened Wen Qinxi''s lovely skin was revealed shimmering under the light. The man''s chest undted in a sensual manner that left him desperate for a little taste.


    Wen Qinxi gazed up at him with those expectant misty eyes like he couldn''t wait to be fucked. Qie Ranzhe leaned down and kissed the man''s chest licking and sucking like he was eating something tasty. His moist lips slowly approached the tiny dot on Wen Qinxi''s chest making the man lying beneath him shudder involuntarily as an unrestrained moan escaped his throat.


    Qie Ranzhe especially loved to hear that lewd sound so he proceeded downwards.The lower he travelled the more the person trembled underneath his body. It was then he noticed the bruised possibly from the beating earlier. It seemed when he kissed that ce Wen Qinxi''s reaction wasn''t that of pain but of pleasure which was out ofthe ordinary.


    That''s when he recalled that Wen Qinxi had taken sedatives earlier on. They probably had a pain-relieving effect.


    "Tell me to stop before it''s toote," said Qie Ranzhe with his hand on his partially unravelled towel, "Otherwise there is no turning back after this."


    Wen Qinxi was the least bit cooperative and he responded by tugging Wen Qinxi''s towel intending to remove it. "I won''t regret it," he said as he struggled to get up. Qie Ranzhe lent him a helping hand confused as to where his lover was going. He didn''t need to wander for long because his question was soon answered.


    Wen Qinxi went on all fours with his butt rubbing against Qie Ranzhe''s crotch area. Qie Ranzhe''s entire body tingled in pleasure watching that ass grind up against him. "Ah daddy..... take me from behind," he whispered before swallowing his entire middle finger eyeing Qie Ranzhe like a predator. He slowly pulled his finger out and bit his bottom lip in provocation.


    Qie Ranzhe, "...."


    It was game over for this CEO who immediately spanked his ass ready toply with his wife''s instructions as the saying goes happy wife happy life.


    Wen Qinxi flinched a little when he was spanked but couldn''t feel any pain. His illness was in no way cured. It was all thanks to the magic pill or at least that''s what he called it.


    Qie Ranzhe gently pulled up Wen Qinxi''s chest and caressed it while kissing his neck. The towel had long been removed with his arousal open for business. His member rubbed against Wen Qinxi''s chrysanthemum as he nipped and sucked on the man''s neck.


    He reached into Wen Qinxi''s pants with his free hand and grabbed hold of his lover''s instrument. He diligently stroked it with his thumb gently rubbing the tip that was seeping out a clear slippery liquid.


    "What do you want me to do to you?" he whispered into Wen Qinxi''s ear.


    Wen Qinxi groaned with his waist twisting to further his agenda. He was about to ce an order of all the things he wanted Qie Ranzhe to do to him when his lover''s phone suddenly rang.


    Qie Ranzhe wanted to ignore it but Wen Qinxi suddenly separated from him intending to end their erotic session. Qie Ranzhe held his waist firmly and said, "let''s ignore it and continue," but who knew he would be cuckolded by his cellphone.


    To be continued....

 Chapter 536: Bullying Protection Act

    Chapter 536: Bullying Protection Act


    Having been disturbed by the constant ringing of the cellphone, Qie Ranzhe had a strong urge to reach out and smash it into the wall. He wasn''t the kind to pay stupid tax which is ''breaking functional personalproperty out of anger only to have to rece it'' i.e. stupid tax but he was really losing his shit right now.


    Wen Qinxi patted his arm that was holding his waist and said, "Ran-ge, answer it..... it''s annoying."


    Qie Ranzhe drew him closer and whispered into his ear, "Will we be able to continue after I pick it up?"


    "Mn, I promise. Scout''s honour," replied Wen Qinxi with a three-finger salute like a real boy scout.


    Feeling a little doubtful, Qie Ranzhe reluctantly let him go and got off the bed to pick up his cellphone. It was Li Menxie calling him. He gave Wen Qinxi a once over nce and seeing that he was wide awake staring at him, he finally picked up the call.


    "What do you want?" asked Qie Ranzhe in an impolite tone. As to why he was being rude to his secretary? It was because it was thiste already and she had just disturbed his erotic session with his dirty Kitty over there.


    He was standing naked with his arousal pointing south while twitching so how can he not be upset? A soft honeyed voice transmitted through the cell phone further infuriating him. "Sorry, sir to di-disturb you but... I, I, um," she stammered with a slight quaver in her voice.


    If one was to overhear this conversation it would y right into a good old fashioned dog blood plot where the secretary would be calling her boss to let him know she was pregnant while his boyfriend was half-naked in bed waiting for him.


    "Spit it out, I don''t have time," said Qie Ranzhe staring at Wen Qinxi in his peripheral view. The man was rolling over on the bed looking somewhat restless.


    Li Menxie sniffled woefully as she tightly clutched the cellphone in her hand. She was obviously crying. "Ma-madam fired me today. She sent a courierpany to deliver a letter of dismissal and imed that I vited my contract," she exined expressing her grievances clearly.


    Qie Ranzhe knew this had to do with how his mother found out about his shares going to Wen Qinxi plus the fact that they were dating. It was obvious Li Menxie opened her usually discrete mouth and sold him out to his mother but what she didn''t expect was that her moral and ethical integrity was brought to question.


    Dai Lee didn''t appreciate her disclosing her son''s private business even if it was only to her. What confidence can she have that she wouldn''t say anything to anyone else? Qie Ranzhe would have eventually gotten to it but his mother took charge of the situation and fired Li Menxie on his behalf. As to the motive behind her breaking her non-disclosure agreement that remained a mystery.


    "Si-sir I have, I have been working for you for a long time and.... she doesn''t have a right to dismiss me..... I," she said but Qie Ranzhe was simply running out of patients.


    "She can fire you more especially if the person has malicious intentions towards me or thepany. She is a major shareholder as well and has my permission to proceed," he said ready to drop the call.


    This is what he and his mother called the bullying protection act. Ridiculous right? She could fire his bodyguards, his cook, his driver and even his dog walker if he had a dog. She could fire anyone from his work life all the way to his private life as long as she suspects malicious intent.


    That''s because he was at times too busy to notice these things plus his mother had a woman''s intuition so should could easily spot certain things. Over the years he had lost one cook and a hairstylist. His mother had exined that it was because they were gossiping about him on Weibo.


    Now he had lost a secretary. A sudden idea crept up his mind as he took a glimpse over at the kitty high on catnip lying on his bed. If he makes Wen Qinxi his assistant it would be a waste of talent but they wouldn''t be roleying anymore when they do some office y.


    Wen Qinxi who was being stared at pretended to glower at him and asked, "What?" before chuckling while lifting the quilt.


    Qie Ranzhe ced his hand on the cellphone speaker and whispered, "If you keep acting cute I wille over there and eat you up."


    He was about to remove his hand from the speaker when he heard a soft voiceing from under the quilt. "As a main course or dessert. I am yummy both ways," replied Wen Qinxi struggling to keep his eyes open.


    Qie Ranzhe''s lips couldn''t resist quirking up into a smile as he responded, "Give me a second and I will make a three-course meal out of you," he then took his hand off the cellphone speaker and said, "You broke the non-disclosure agreement and I will be pursuing legal action against you so get your house in order."


    He immediately cut the call after that and walked to the bed with his sword drawn for battle. He climbed on top of Wen Qinxi and peeled off the quilt in anticipation. As soon as that quilt rolled off the smile on his face froze.


    This little minx had taken it upon himself to fall asleep just like that. He had a feeling that something like this would happen yet he was stupid enough to believe this little liar. After this, he vowed to make Li Menxie''s life a living hell. Meanwhile, Li Menxie who was wailing in her mother''s arms felt a strange chill creep up her spine making her shudder in fear.


    Qie Ranzhe knew he shouldn''t wake him up but he couldn''t take another shower. He got inside the quilt and embraced Wen Qinxi by the waist with his hot rod rubbing against the man''s hip. "Baby, you have two options... it''s either you wake up of your own volition or something will wake you up in between your legs," he whispered while teasing Wen Qinxi''s ear.


    But his threat was the least bit effective. Wen Qinxi rolled over and ced his leg on top of Qie Ranzhe''s and wrapped his arm around him without opening his eyes. "Hmm," he said with a throaty chuckle hugging him tighter.


    Qie Ranzhe heaved a deep sigh at a loss of what to do. He could take care of it himself by himself but he couldn''t move because his lover was like a boulder in his sleep. A gicbination of a boulder hard to move and an octopus hard to peel off. He couldn''t free himself no matter how hard he tried. He vowed to make his lover pay for all his crimes tomorrow and sure enough, he kept to his word.


    The very next day, Wen Qinxi woke up to a note and a tray by his bedside. The note was especially sweet. It said:


    Good morning Babe,


    Have some breakfast in bed and after eating I left a surprise for you in the closet.


    Oh, and don''t forget to take your medicine.


    Your dashingly handsome man.

 Chapter 537: The Right Way To Punish A Lover

    Chapter 537: The Right Way To Punish A Lover


    Wen Qinxi smiled as he took off the metal dome lid covering his bowl only to be met by a still steaming mouth-watering breakfast. After eating he brushed his teeth before taking a long soothing shower washing away all the fatigue he was feeling. Right after showering he finally ambled over to the walk-in closet with a towel wrapped around his lower half.


    He couldn''t help but make guesses as he scanned around for the surprise but once he saw it his eyes widened. It was a carefullyid out costume that he bought yesterday at dirty kitty.


    When he bought it he wasn''t even certain he would wear it anytime soon so he meant to hide it from Qie Ranzhe but since he got beaten things didn''t seem to go as nned.


    Beside it was a highlighted part of their contract stating that if any of the partiesmitted any of these heinous crimes the wronged party could stipte reasonable punishment.


    Guess what one of those heinous crimes was? You guessed it. Starting something without finishing it for example in this situation Wen Qinxi fell asleep after deliberately teasing Qie Ranzhe despite being issued a warning.


    Wen Qinxi sighed deeply as he looked at the outfit like he regretted buying it. Three minutester he was standing by the mirror checking how short this ck skater skirt looked on him. If he bent down one could clearly see his crotchless panties underneath.


    His face became as red as a tomato as he pulled down the skirt which was pointless because that skirt wouldn''t go any lower than that. He sighed again straightening the white apron. It took him a good twenty minutes to gather up the confidence to go out of the bedroom.


    He walked over to Qie Ranzhe''s home office downstairs and raised his hand to knock on the door but paused in hesitation. He fixed the fluffy cat ears on his head and the ck cat cor with a bell around his neck. This is what the elders would call getting bitten by what you dug up yourself. He personally bought all that and Qie Ranzhe happened to find it so whose fault is it?


    He knocked softly while looking down at his fluffy white slippers on his feet. He sincerely hoped Qie Ranzhe wouldn''t answer so he could get out of this ridiculous outfit but that was only his wishful thinking.


    Qie Ranzhe told him toe in so he opened the door a crack and peeked inside. The redness on his face spread to his neck as he slowly walked in. He closed the door behind him and leaned on it without moving forward.


    An obvious smirk appeared on Qie Ranzhe''s face as he put down his tablet. He didn''t say anything pointing at the fluffy grey feather duster by the door.


    Wen Qinxi couldn''t bear it so he said, "Do you really have to tally scores with me?" while angrily grabbing the feather duster. He started to dust the surfaces with his skirt swaying making this CEO want to lift it up and take a peek.


    "Baby, don''t be mad at me... that''s what we agreed on," he said ogling at him with the word lust written on his forehead. Everything about this slutty outfit on his lover had him so thirsty that he couldn''t help but swallow hard.


    "Don''t forget the top of the bookshelf," he said rubbing his lip with his index finger. The intention was as clear as day but Wen Qinxi didn''t call him out on it. He stood on his tippy toes and stretched out his hand to reach the top which meant his already short skirt became even shorter.


    Qie Ranzhe could partially see the ck panties but he wanted to see all of it so he stood up in the guise of helping him. He walked over and ced his hand on top of Wen Qinxi''s outstretched hand making the nerd''s body slightly shiver in excitement. He felt hot all over with Qie Ranzhe''s body pressed against his back.


    Qie Ranzhe guided his hand but his gaze was on the man''s side profile with his other hand sliding up the man''s thigh to get underneath the skirt.


    Wen Qinxi felt the tingling sensation from something crawling up his skirt. He trembled while gently smacking the stray hand exploring sacred ces.


    Qie Ranzhe dropped both their outstretched hands and wrapped them around Wen Qinxi''s waist. "I was just helping you," he said before leaning backwards with his other hand lifting his skirt groping his ass in the process.


    Having seen what he wanted to see he sat back down and continued enjoying the show. "Baby, I also need some dusting. How about youe over and take care of me first," he spoke in a deep charming voice with the intention of seducing the innocent.


    Wen Qinxi ignored him while pulling down his skirt. He couldn''t believe this man made him wipe none existent dust just so that he could check him out. He moved towards the desk about to ask him a question when Qie Ranzhe lifted his index finger. At the end of his finger was a pair of fluffy handcuffs which he also bought.


    When he saw the outfit earlier he wondered where those were but it turns out they were also found and were now in the hands of the enemy. Qie Ranzhe gestured with his other hand for him toe over but Wen Qinxi hesitated.


    Slutty outfit, cat ears and now handcuffs inside an office. His first time was truly going to be a mirror reflection of the fourth world''s shenanigans.


    "Nope, we are not going to do that," he said moving backwards.


    A roguish smile appeared on Qie Ranzhe''s face as he stood up from his seat. It seemed the word ''no, nope, nah or nai'' wasn''t an option. Wen Qinxi made a break for it with his bell jiggling heading for the door but he was caught in two strides.


    "Damn it. Why do you have long legs?" heined trying hard to suppress a smile. He was pressed down on the couch with Qie Ranzhe straddling him.


    "What? Are you jealous?" replied Qie Ranzhe taunting his lover as he handcuffed his hands in front.


    "No..... maybe..... okay fine, yes. You always catch up... ahh put me down," said Wen Qinxi before Qie Ranzhe picked him up and carried him over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes.


    "I can..... that is if you want us to do it for the first time in the office. I don''t mind but you might," he said pausing his steps.


    Wen Qinxi''s head hung low with his hands restrained as he seriously considered it. Qie Ranzhe took his silence as an agreement and walked out of the office with Wen Qinxi''s fluffy slipper almost falling off. He was about to go up the stairs when his steps abruptly paused. Confused, Wen Qinxi said, "We aren''t doing it in the lounge either so you better keep walking buddy," but Qie Ranzhe didn''t respond.


    So he turned his head only to have his eyes widen in horror. ''How fuckin embarrassing,'' thought Wen Qinxi with his short skirt directly facing the apartment door.


    "Mum!" eximed Qie Ranzhe

 Chapter 538: NSFW

    Chapter 538: NSFW


    Wen Qinxi never thought he would ever in his life be this embarrassed. He tried to cover his face in shame but found that he couldn''t. The handcuffs on his wrists weren''t tight but they clearly served their purpose. He could neither get out of them nor use his hands.


    "Put me down," Wen Qinxi whispered trying to be as silent as possible but Qie Ranzhe didn''t immediately respond. He was like a frozen statue with a stupefied look on his face.


    Dai Lee didn''t respond for a moment dumbfounded by this unusual sight. She stared at the both of them as a numb feeling spread all over her entire body. At first, she assumed that the person wearing a skirt was a girl and wanted to scold her son for being a g man. That''s because from her angle all she saw was the person''s behind.


    In fact, she wanted to lunge forward and drag the girl by her hair. She might not have fully epted that her son was with Wen Qinxi but she didn''t appreciate her son cheating on him. When a person decides to be with someone they should fullymit and not have one leg inside and another leg outside.


    She had personally felt the pain of being betrayed by the one she loved and didn''t want her son to end up like his deadbeat of a father. But upon a second look she saw that the person wasn''t a girl at all but her future inw dressed in a mini skirt, ck extra long thigh high stockings and a pair of fluffy slippers.


    Her eyes widened in surprise as the panic finally kicked in. "Ahhhh.... what in the heavens are you two doing.... oh god..... my eyes, my pure eyes. You two are shameless," she scolded the both of them as she dashed into the kitchen to cleanse her eyes.


    The sound of the tap water running could be heard as she continued to curse. She paused for a moment thinking she had washed enough but her mind inevitably went back to that moment and a fleeting thought made her freeze. "Was thatce underwear?... Oh god," she said washing her eyes again till all her eye makeup was gone. Lucky for Wen Qinxi she had only seen a tiny part, not the whole thing otherwise it would have been even more embarrassing.


    Qie Ranzhe finally put Wen Qinxi down his face as red as a beet. Having been granted amnesty, Wen Qinxi wanted to run but Dai Lee suddenly came back and he was forced to either hide behind Qie Ranzhe or behind the couch. He chose the couch without a doubt but his wrist was suddenly caught and he was pulled behind Qie Ranzhe.


    "You!.... He is a boy so why?..... Oh my gosh are those cat ears and a bell?" she said pointing at Qie Ranzhe but she most likely was attempting to point at Wen Qinxi''s hair. She had seen all that before Qie Ranzhe shielded him.


    "Ma, there is nothing to see. You should have called first.... now look he, he is embarrassed," exined Qie Ranzhe hiding his treasure away like he was afraid Wen Qinxi would refuse to wear this outfit ever again.


    "I can''t, I just can''t deal with you right now. You bullied him into wearing that, didn''t you?" she retorted angrily as she grabbed her handbag she had dropped earlier due to shock, "such an overbearing child." Thest part was said in a whisper as she pulled the door open to leave.


    Bang!


    The door was closed harshly making the both of them flinch. His mum had ess to his apartment mainly because he had no one else but now it seemed he had to revoke her rights indefinitely.


    Qie Ranzhe''s expression changed drastically as soon as she left. The bashful sullen look was reced with a radiant glow like a kid who could finally eat ice cream but that all depended on whether the ice cream still wanted to be eaten or not.


    Wen Qinxi was distractedly eyeing the door while attempting to unlock the handcuffs that he didn''t notice his boyfriend was on the prowl again. "So fuckin embarrassing..... shit. Get me out of this, will...., said Wen Qinxi but paused when his gaze fell on Qie Ranzhe.


    His skin broke into goosebumps as he gulped unconsciously. It was then he realised he was still on the menu.


    "Why are you looking at me like that?" asked Wen Qinxi with his one foot taking a step backwards like he was ready to sprint at any moment. The shame of being caught by his boyfriend''s mother in a skirt was still fresh and sex was thest thing on his mind but... judging from Qie Ranzhe''s face he was like a volcano on the verge of eruption.


    "Baby.....," said Qie Ranzhe but as soon as the words fell Wen Qinxi made a break for it with the skirt swaying with the movement of his powerful legs. It''s a shame that he actually thought he could get away.


    As soon as he reached the top of the stairs he was suddenly lifted by the waist and carried into the bedroom. Qie Ranzhe ced him on the bed and climbed on top of him with his legs keeping Wen Qinxi''s legs apart. Because of the skirt, it made things pretty convenient for the CEO.


    The skirt rode up Wen Qinxi''s thighs exposing the holy grail that only he had ess to.


    Wen Qinxi''s heartbeat thumped wildly as Qie Ranzhe''s head slipped in between his arms joined at the wrists by the handcuffs. "Baby," he called out in a low husky voice that sent chills all over Wen Qinxi''s body.


    He liked it so much that he couldn''t resist asking, "Say it again," pretending to be indifferent.


    With a simpler smile, Qie Ranzhe repeated it. This time he lowered his head closer with his gaze slowly sweeping across Wen Qinxi''s handsome face. "Baby," he called out with his lips hovering above Wen Qinxi''s in a teasing manner.


    He eyed the slight bruise on Wen Qinxi''s lip and licked it with his tongue. Wen Qinxi trembled from the stinging pain but didn''t avert his touch. Seeing this Qie Ranzhe felt that maybe he should let this bunny escape for now since he was still hurt but Wen Qinxi''s next move dispelled those thoughtspletely.


    Wen Qinxi took the initiative to kiss him while drawing him closer with his cuffed wrists. His kiss was like the gentle touch of a feather falling onto the surface of a calmke, sweet and enjoyable. His tongue gently licked Qie Ranzhe''s tongue as though seeking permission to explore. Qie Ranzhe groaned as a tingly sensation spread from his groin.


    His breathing quickened as his hunger took over without a warning. This light as a feather kiss turned frantic as Qie Ranzhe took over kissing him passionately. In the meantime, Qie Ranzhe''s hands weren''t idle. They were lovingly stroking and caressing Wen Qinxi''s thighs.

 Chapter 539: NSFW 2

    Chapter 539: NSFW 2


    His one finger traced up the crotchless panties from his perineum up to his family jewels before teasing the tip of his cock. Wen Qinxi felt a wonderful sensation spread to his entire body making him twist his waist towards Qie Ranzhe''s hand as though begging for more.


    Qie Ranzhe obliged him caressing and fondling him as though he had just found something interesting to y with. He rubbed the tip of Wen Qinxi''s cock with his thumb smearing the slippery liquid as his lips kissed Wen Qinxi''s neck. "Ah.... ngh~..... oh, fuck," were the sweet soundsing from those slightly swollen lips that Qie Ranzhe liked so much.


    Qie Ranzhe kissed his neck up to his ears and whispered, "You are so fucking sexy," before biting his ear lobe.


    Qie Ranzhe loosened the apron on Wen Qinxi''s body and used it to tie him up by the bedpost. Everything happened so fast that Wen Qinxi didn''t realise it till Qie Ranzhe got off the bed to take off his clothes.


    "Ah Ran-ge, what are you nning to do to me?" he asked with his eyes looking up at the apron tying his hands above his head. His voice was hoarse with a slight tremor but it was more from the excitement than nervousness.


    The now naked Qie Ranzhe walked over to the pedestal and grabbed a bottle of oil-based lubricant as he replied to his question. "Shh..... I am nning to make you feel good," he said before straddling Wen Qinxi. Since he had tied up Wen Qinxi he couldn''t take off the man''s top the conventional way so he took it upon himself to rip it apart making Wen Qinxi gasp in dismay.


    This animalistic version of Qie Ranzhe was incredibly sexy but he couldn''t help but scold him recalling the price. "Do you know how much that cost me?" he said raising his foot to gently kick his lover off him but Qie Ranzhe easily caught that leg and kissed it with his intense lustful gaze fixed on Wen Qinxi.


    Being ogled like this Wen Qinxi gulped with his Adam''s apple bobbing up and down. He bit his lower lip with his eyes seeming to beg to be punished. Qie Ranzhe didn''t hesitate to rip the skirt too and take off those panties revealing the once hidden treasure.


    Qie Ranzhe squeezed some of the lubricant on Wen Qinxi''s chest with a glint of obsession in his eyes. He tossed the bottle of lubricant aside and massage the oil all over Wen Qinxi''s chest and nipples.


    The warm touch of Qie Ranzhe''s hands had Wen Qinxi breathing heavily. He wanted to press Qie Ranzhe''s face down on his nipple but his hands couldn''t move so he swallowed his saliva and voiced out his desire.


    "Ahh Ran-ge, suck my nipple," he whispered with his cheeks turning even redder at a visible rate. Qie Ranzhe smirked in delight and teased the man''s nipple with his tongue making Wen Qinxi whimper underneath him.


    "A little harder, Ran-ge... oh fuck... ah," he said as his arousal stiffened further. The tiny nipples were yed with till they were slightly swollen but Wen Qinxi didn''t ask him to stop. He was rubbing against Qie Ranzhe trying to relieve himself from his burning desire.


    Qie Ranzhe kissed down to his abdomen before licking the tip of Wen Qinxi''s cock. Wen Qinxi''s brain short-circuited as an electric wave swept over his body. Qie Ranzhe swallowed Wen Qinxi''s entire length making the nerd moan in pleasure. Being engulfed in such warmth was sofortable that he wanted to thrust deep into Qie Ranzhe''s mouth.


    Qie Ranzhe felt he had reached his breaking point. He was done ying games and wanted to fuck this man till he begged for mercy. He stroked Wen Qinxi''s member as he reached for the bottle of lubricant. Wen Qinxi felt some wetness around his chrysanthemum and looked up only to find Qie Ranzhe busily eyeing him like a predator.


    "Rx for me, baby. I promise I won''t hurt you," he said as his finger rubbed the tight entrance.


    Wen Qinxi nodded his head but the doubt in his eyes was evident. He had been looking forward and not looking forward to this moment for a long time. Looking forward to it for the pleasure, not looking forward to it because of the pain.


    Qie Ranzhe was extremely gentle pushing his slippery finger inside. Wen Qinxi flinched a little but gradually rxed with his gaze focused on the ceiling. Qie Ranzhe shoved his finger in and out of Wen Qinxi''s sweet hole a couple of times and turned his head to look at Wen Qinxi.


    With his flushed cheeks and slightly reddened eyes, the nerd truly looked like he had been bullied. He was biting his lower lip like he was enduring a major grievance.


    Seeing this Qie Ranzhe withdrew his finger causing Wen Qinxi''s gaze to shift towards him abruptly. "Why did you stop?" asked Wen Qinxi in an usatory tone like he hadmitted the world''s greatest sin.


    Qie Ranzhe lowered his head and kissed the corner of his eye before saying, "You look like you are in pain. I really don''t want to hurt you." He could be selfish and just continue but his love for Wen Qinxi would never let him do that. He yearned for him but couldn''t bear seeing him hurting.


    "Pain is inevitable but I want you to fuck me. Didn''t you promise to make me feel good?.... Then show me what you got daddy," he said spreading his legs even wider inviting him in for a delicious meal.


    Qie Ranzhe kissed him fiercely with his hands fondling either side of his waist. Since his baby gave him permission then he would work hard like a hardworking student.


    Wen Qinxi''s lips were licked and sucked till he was panting out of breath. Qie Ranzhe slipped the finger in once more but this time he was searching for something.


    When Wen Qinxi let out a loud gasp with his legs tightening, Qie Ranzhe knew he had found the golden ticket. He smiled slyly and thrust his finger in directing his full attention on that spot.


    Wen Qinxi''s hole loosened a bit allowing his lover to shift to gear two. The second finger was much more painful that he bit down on Qie Ranzhe''s shoulder to help cope with it. His hands clenched into fists as a tear slid down the corner of his eye.


    "Baby.....," whispered Qie Ranzhe before kissing away the tear. He had stopped his movements when he saw the tear but Wen Qinxi wasn''t pleased.


    "Don''t stop..... I want you to fuck me," he said staring at him with misty eyes. The two locked gazes as Qie Ranzhe drove his two fingers in.


    "I love you, baby," he whispered as his fingers moved back and forth rubbing against Wen Qinxi''s sweet spot. Wen Qinxi was too muddle-headed to think straight at this point that he didn''t pay attention to what Qie Ranzhe said.

    Chapter 540: NSFW 3


    Wen Qinxi had truly mistaken torment for a prick. He now had a clear understanding of how much pain reduction was in gship. It was like a bus trying to squeeze into a pin-sized hole and this was just the third finger. He didn''t even dare think about what it would be like when the bullet train tries to enter. Wouldn''t he faint immediately?


    Okay, our boy is good at exaggerating things but this was the only way he could describe how he was feeling right now. He regretted not going to therapy to treat his illness. If he couldn''t handle an injection then how was he supposed to endure an XL vibrator down there?


    He was thinking of backing out, he wanted to back out and use other methods but he also wanted it so bad. Faced with this fine specimen that wanted him and no one else how could he resist? That sturdy chest with his name carved on it had him so riled up that his cock twitched as though waving at Qie Ranzhe seeking his attention.


    Qie Ranzhe looked like a lustful celestial being that intentionally descended from the celestial realm just to fuck him. His soft ck hair was slightly sticking to his forehead from all the sweating. Wen Qinxi''s eyes wandered to the bite mark he left on Qie Ranzhe''s shoulder and his chest tightened hurting for him. It was incredibly helpful at the time but looking at it now he regretted it.


    "Ran-ge, does it hurt?" he asked in a low husky voice which Qie Ranzhe mistook as him being coquettish. He had withdrawn his fingers and was currently squeezing a little more lubricant on his hardness in preparation for the main event.


    Of course, it hurt like a son of bitch but he would never say that to him. He was well aware of what he signed up for and was willing to get bitten as long as it made his lover morefortable. He ced his hands on the bed on either side of Wen Qinxi''s shoulders and said, "It doesn''t hurt. You can bite me all you want as long as you let me... do things to you. I can handle it." His voice was charming and deep as he said this making Wen Qinxi''s ears redden.


    Wen Qinxi wanted to refute his words as he could swear that he almost drew blood when he bit down but Qie Ranzhe didn''t give him the opportunity. His mouth was suddenly blocked by Qie Ranzhe''s hot lips initiating a passionate fiery kiss that was almost barbaric.


    Like a hungry wild beast, he deepened the kiss with his tongue teasingly licking the bottom of Wen Qinxi''s tongue. He only let go when they were almost out of breath.


    Panting heavily Qie Ranzhe gently coaxed him and sealed his lips once more before guiding his member into that beautiful ce that he had been yearning for a very long time.


    Like the pirate king, he had finally conquered the seven seas and marked the territory as his. This man was now his husband, his sweetheart and a man that could only belong to him and him alone.


    Wen Qinxi whimpered as his backside was pierced by something foreign. He rejected his intrusion subconsciously but his arms were bound and he couldn''t move. He wanted to cry out but his lips were sealed so he could only let out a high pitched whimper that had Qie Ranzhe stopping his actions.


    "Are you okay? Do you...," he asked with obvious concern in his eyes but Wen Qinxi''s response was especially fierce.


    "Shut the fuck up and fuck me," he said before kissing him like it was the end of the world. Qie Ranzhe grinned foolishly within that kiss before trying again.


    "Mmmh," was the muffled noise Wen Qinxi was making as his muscles tensed up. He could feel the paining from that ce but because he locked lips with Qie Ranzhe he couldn''t cry out.


    Qie Ranzhe was especially considerate, easing him into it despite being so overwhelmed by his lust. All he wanted to do was to plough him and fully indulge in this sweet nectar but he knew to reap the benefits it required patients.


    His cock was slowly swallowed by the tight hole making him grunt in contentment. Qie Ranzhe wanted to see this beautiful scene of his dick being enveloped in that sacred ce so he drew back his upper body abandoning Wen Qinxi''s lips.


    His stiffness grew a few inches longer as he watched his arousal entering this irresistible ce. He was so enchanted by what he saw that he thrusted his entire length inside making Wen Qinxi cry out with a pillow covering his face.


    Qie Ranzhe confiscated the pillow and said, "Don''t..... let me see you." Wen Qinxi red at him with a pained expression but Qie Ranzhe only thought he looked tititing like this. Those sultry almond-shaped eyes shimmered under the morning light seducing him.


    "Ah..... baby. You taste so fuckin good," he said before thrusting in with his hands pressing down Wen Qinxi''s thighs that were hanging in the air in a position simr to the happy baby pose. The pose might be named that but Wen Qinxi wasn''t a happy baby right now.


    It felt like his insides were being ripped apart by the greedy bastard and he couldn''t even bite back because he was further away. An involuntary tear rolled down his cheek as he endured it. "It will feel good in a minute...," said Qie Ranzhe as the rhythm of his thrusts increased.


    He was clearly enjoying himself with his powerful waist swinging back and forth like he was drilling a borehole. Over and over again Wen Qinxi was impelled with his mouth agape due to the intense feeling. Some of his saliva seeped out from the corner of his slightly red lips. He wanted to retort, "Feel good for whom exactly?" because right now he felt like he was been ripped apart.


    He was seriously starting to think that everything in gship was a lie. Maybe in the game, his pleasure senses were heightened while the pain tolerance index was low because he wasn''t feeling good at all. Apart from the pain, there was nothing else. He only endured because he loved this man and wanted to do this with him otherwise he would have thrown in the towel and quit already.


    Qie Ranzhe suddenly made a gentle thrust hitting something that had Wen Qinxi making an involuntary high pitched squeak that had the two of them freeze for a second. Wen Qinxi wanted to cover his mouth but his hands were bound so he could only press his lips in a straight line.


    As for the reason why he cried it was because he had been suddenly struck by a powerful tidal wave of pleasure that spread all over his body making him produce a weird sound. Qie Ranzhe''s pupils constricted further as a sly smile appeared on his face.


    He leaned down and sucked hard on Wen Qinxi''s neck leaving a red hickey then kissed him down to his corbone then his nipple. He licked the plumb nipple that was sticking out like a ripe cherry and his lover shuddered with a muffled groan.

 Chapter 541: NSFW 4

    Chapter 541: NSFW 4


    Wen Qinxi curled his toes gasping for air being tormented like this. He was desperate for Qie Ranzhe to do it again but it seemed this man was keen on teasing him.


    As though he knew what Wen Qinxi was thinking he slowly thrust his hips while sucking on the ripe cherry making Wen Qinxi groan in pleasure. The pain was still there but the pro overshadowed the con by leaps and bounds.


    "Faster Ran-ge... ohh fuck!" he said with his rational mind tossed out of the window ages ago.


    Qie Ranzhe stopped teasing his nipple and towered over his lips saying, "Call me daddy and I will give you what you want."


    "Fuck me, daddy," he said sessfully rousing the docile beast. Qie Ranzhe''s thrusts became faster with a blush-inducing pa pa pa sound permeating the air. Coupled with the heavy pants and lewd groans from both of them it sounded like audio from an adult video.


    Qie Ranzhe held his lover''s legs in ce pounding him hard. The pleasure he felt from this was beyond his expectation. Like a growing addiction, he couldn''t get enough of this sweet taste and wanted to make itst as long as possible.


    He withdrew his member from that warmfortable ce and untied the apron from the bedpost while stroking Wen Qinxi''s arousal. Wen Qinxi wanted toin that he wasn''t full when his cock was gently stroked as thoughforting him.


    After freeing him, Qie Ranzhe ced his head in between Wen Qinxi''s cuffed hands before picking him up and getting them both off the bed. Wen Qinxi was absolutely frightened but he didn''t have time to get used to it when Qie Ranzhe helped wrap his legs around his waist before thrusting deep inside him.


    Wen Qinxi''s eyes almost rolled to the back of his head at that moment. He buried his head in Qie Ranzhe''s shoulder limating to the feeling of being drilled in this position. He was overwhelmedby a surge of euphoria as he clung tightly to Qie Ranzhe.


    Qie Ranzhe stood tall each thrust more powerful than the next with each of his hands cupping Wen Qinxi''s butt cheeks. The two of them fully engaged in their desires kissing and sucking on each other''s lips with their skinced with ayer of sweat from their lecherous behaviour.


    "Ah~ ohh daddy... don''t stop....mmmh," were the lewd sounds that drove Qie Ranzhe insane. He continued to diligently pamper his wife with the bell jiggling with each thrust. Wen Qinxi felt a buildup of erotic tension with his lover constantly prating inside him teasing his erotic zone seeking an outlet.


    He slowly sank into the feeling as his muscles tensed up. Qie Ranzhe felt the man in his hands stiffen and held on to him tightly letting him sumb to the peak of sexual excitement. "Ahh..... I''m ngh~..... ohh," breathlessly spoke Wen Qinxi as he convulsed shooting a lot of thick white liquid.


    Wen Qinxi''s body soon rxed as hey limply in Qie Ranzhe''s arms. His breathing slowed down a little but he didn''t have enough time to catch his breath before he was mmed on the bed. Qie Ranzhe kissed him with a hint of urgency in his actions.


    He immediately turned him over and wordlessly thrust into him from behind. His hands rubbed the slippery cum from just now all over Wen Qinxi''s abdomen as he plunged into him like a starved animal that finally got to have a meal.


    Wen Qinxi felt his mind turn into mush with his IQ taking a hit as he fully indulged himself. Qie Ranzhe sucked on his back leaving behind his mark as he swung his powerful waist. The two of them had no recognition of the words overdoing things as they yed with each other endlessly.


    Wen Qinxi even brazenly attempted to ride his lover which was an experience on its own. He groaned as he took his lover''s full length straddling him.Qie Ranzhe enjoyed this position very much because he could clearly see his lover''s expressions and sexy body shimmering under the morning sunlight.


    This nerd was the very definition of the word temptation. He ran his hands through his long hair and along his body moving up and down as he rode that dick to satisfaction. Qie Ranzhe couldn''t help butpliment him. His love for the man grew even stronger at this moment.


    Wen Qinxi provocatively swallowed Qie Ranzhe''s middle finger while staring at him with a randy gaze. He hadpletely forgotten who he was dealing with. This overstimted Qie Ranzhe so much that he switched their positions viciously thrusting into him till Wen Qinxi started pleading for mercy. He was fully aware of the consequences but still provoked him.


    Pa Pa Pa sounds and low whimpers echoed in the room for twenty more minutes until a deep groan from a satiated beast permeated the air. Even then it wasn''t game over yet.


    Wen Qinxi''s wrists were uncuffed and he naively thought it was over but five minutester the moans and groans started again with his enthusiastic boyfriend making them try out new positions he had never thought were humanely possible. It would be a miracle if he could get out of bed for the rest of the day.


    While Qie Ranzhe was rolling in between the sheets with his nerd, Mama Wen who had no idea that his family''s cabbage had been eaten was carrying bags of vegetables for her spring festival dishes when an expensively dressed woman blocked her path. She was about to politely excuse herself when she saw that familiar yet unfamiliar face.


    It had to be Qie Ranzhe''s mother and nobody else. "What are you doing? Collecting toll fees for the pavement," she said trying to walk past her. She didn''t have any beef with Qie Ranzhe''s mother but that hickey she saw a few days ago was still fresh in her mind. If she can''t take it out on the culprit then she would take it out on the closely rted person.


    Dai Lee wasn''t here to pick a fight. She was here to share her worries with someone and who else would be more suitable than the person she was riding the same boat with? Those two boys had traumatized her so much that she had parked at Mama Wen''s apartment for hours waiting for her toe back.


    She blocked her path again and said, "Skirt..... your son..... he was wearing a tiny skirt," with a brittle voice like she was going to cry.


    "Damn it! I knew I should have locked my closet when he was five," murmured Mama Wen recalling Wen Qinxi''s shenanigans with her husband when he was five. She caught one of them wearing her blouse as a dress and the other pouting his lips while his son put on lipstick. Now it seemed the ghost of Christmas past hade to haunt her.

 Chapter 542: From Skirt Discussion To Wedding Planning

    Chapter 542: From Skirt Discussion To Wedding nning


    This statement granted Dai Lee ess to the Wen home and once she stepped foot inside, it was the beginning of both endless and meaningless visits. Mama Wen invited her in but like a vampire, she was easy to invite inside but very difficult to get rid of.


    Mama Wen made some tea as Dai Lee silently observed her environment. All her life she was adorned in luxury and splendour but she would never disrespect someone''s home. She had heard from her father that her grandfather worked in the mines before he started his own business.


    From what her father said Mama Wen''s home was far better than the sort of living conditions her grandfather lived in for a third of his life. This made her understand the hard work and effort her grandfather put for her and her son to have such a wonderful life. It was because of this that she wasn''t the rich snobbish type who would refuse to enter other people''s homes just because of their status.


    In fact, she thought Mama Wen''s house was especiallyfortable and nice. It was well decorated with the unique warmth of a true home. Ever since her son moved out she hadn''t felt that kind of warmth in a very long time.


    With a light dull sound, a teacup with a coaster underneath was ced in front of Dai Lee before Mama Wen sat opposite her. "Thank you," said Dai Lee as she picked up the steaming cup of tea, "I like your home. It''s very nice."


    Mama Wen took a small sip of her tea before saying, "Mn.... thank you. How many sugars?"


    Dai Lee shook her head saying, "I don''t like sweet things," before taking a sip. She seemed contented because her expression rxed like she had made herself at home.


    The atmosphere turned awkwardly silent for a while with the only sounding from the clock on the wall. It was Mama Wen who couldn''t take it anymore. She cleared a throat loudly and said, "You um, you mentioned a skirt," rubbing the side of her nose. Her son must have frightened this poordy''s soul away when he appeared in such an unconventional way.


    She wanted her son happy but wasn''t easily epting of him prancing around the streets with a skirt. Sure, she would eventually get used to it but she would have to deal with this hysterical mum who thought Wen Qinxi had an identity crisis. As long as he doesn''te to her neighbourhood in a skirt then that would be fine. As the saying goes out of sight out of mind.


    "Huh?" asked Dai Lee almost forgetting why she was here, "Oh, right..... the um skirt. I..... ahem.... how do I say this?" She tapped her index finger in nervousness before spilling the tea, not in the literal sense.


    "I have ess to my son''s apartment and happened to pass by to, you know..... talk about who I fired and why I fired them but..... I saw your son wearing a skirt this short," she exined gesturing with her hand how super short it was, "and there were fluffy cat ears, a....um, a cor with a tiny bell and an apron. Oh..... my poor heart. I almost had a heart attack....."


    Mama Wen, "...."


    Ptooey! Was the sound of mama Wen spitting out a mouthful of her tea in this century''s best spit-take. Lucky for Dai Lee she wasn''t in the line of fire. "*cough *cough *cough how about you warn me next time," said Mama Wen as Dai Lee grabbed some tissue to offer to her.


    "Sorry, sorry, sorry," she apologized before taking out two more tissues to wipe the coffee table.


    It was only after cleaning up did mama Wen startughing startling Dai Lee. She began to question whether she had broken thisdy''s brain by telling her this. "Why... Is it even funny," said Dai Lee with her brows scrunched up.


    Mama Wen waved her hand in denial and said, "You don''t understand..... I thought... I honestly thought you meant he was walking outside in a skirt. If it''s just in private then that''s fine. Whoo, at least it''s indoors. Look, I don''t have a problem with how anyone chooses to dress, it''s a free country after all but I don''t know how I would have reacted to seeing him walking in public in a skirt. I want him to be happy but I might have drawn the line there at least when hees to see me."


    Dai Lee was somewhat envious of her open-mindedness as she scrutinized her carefully. In their generation, her temperament was incredibly rare. "You really are fine with it?" she asked with her eyes narrowed into a squint.


    "Yep, though I wouldn''t want to see it. That would be a little too much for me to take," exined Mama Wen feeling much more rxed, "... what really bothers me is not that but... hear me out. If my son was a girl and I realised the sort of rtionship they''re in I would havee to your house and threaten to burn it down unless your son marries my child but because they''re boys I don''t know if the principal still applies."


    Suddenly the discussion that started because of a skirt turned serious. The two stared at each other for a while as though sizing each other up.


    "Is his father around," asked Dai Lee with a glint of mischief in her eyes.


    Mama Wen noticed but still responded, "No, he is gone. How about your son''s?"


    "Deadbeat so..... no one is going to stop us, right?" replied Dai Lee stirring up the pot like a witch concocting some vile potion.


    Having foundmon ground, Mama Wen was excited. She stood up abruptly and said, "This discussion would be better with some liquor."


    "I will order some snacks," said Dai Lee taking out her cellphone. The two women cosied up together in a wintery day nning their sons'' futures without their knowledge.


    These two didn''t even know that their parents had met. That''s because they were doing what the children call the birds and the bees in seclusion.


    By the time they stopped dual cultivating Wen Qinxi was spent lying in bed like a corpse. It was fun while they were doing it but now the full effects of what they had done for half a day had finally kicked in and Wen Qinxi felt the worst of it.


    His thighs, waist and nipples were sore at varying degrees making him very irritable right now. This meant his overbearing side came out ordering around the culprit who was for some reason full of vitality like the bedroom activities had reenergized his batteries.


    Wen Qinxi covered his entire head with the quilt trying to rest a little but Qie Ranzhe''s cellphone kept ringing incessantly like he owed a loan shark money. The owner was downstairs warming up some food he had ordered from a restaurant nearby so he wasn''t avable to answer it.

 Chapter 543: L-Word,Yeah

    Chapter 543: L-Word,Yeah


    Wen Qinxi''s hand reached out from under the quilt andzily felt around for the cellphone. Once he caught it his hand vanished under the quilt with the bright light from the screen illuminating his soft features.


    They were more than a dozen missed calls since the previous night till today and most of them were from unknown numbers. He didn''t look through anything, he just muted the ringtone but when he swiped down he saw a message notification.


    From a glimpse, he caught the words son and sorry and you are still my own flesh and blood. He raised a brow before cing the cellphone back on the pedestal. He then searched around for his cellphone which had fallen under the bed when they ruined the sheets.


    As soon as he opened up Weibo, he almost got a heart attack. There was a lot of breaking news on his feed mainly about either the Qie family or the Zhao family. Dirty secrets, corruption scandals, you name it, it was all there. Not only that but Qie Anzhie had been singled out for sex trafficking at his downtown nightclub.


    Wen Qinxi''s brows creased as he put two and two together. He got beaten by Qie Anzhie yesterday and now the haughty prince had fallen off his throne overnight, how could he not know who orchestrated this?


    His boyfriend had obviously gone berserk and took two families down all at once. He was like Godzi rampaging through the streets destroying their reputation and businesses overnight. He hurriedly sat up straight only to wince in pain when he rememberedst night''s shenanigans.


    With his back resting against the headboard, he scrolled through the phone with a mobile expression. It seemed thesepanies had no chance to recover and even if they recovered it wouldn''t be the same as before.


    There was also news about the most recent Madam Qie''s campaign to out the original heir of the Qie family. How she as an outsider not only wrecked a family but also how she ensured her son''s position on the high table. This made Wen Qinxi sympathize with Qie Ranzhe.


    From a young age, he was surrounded by vipers who were also supposed to be the people he was meant to trust. They switched his grandfather''s will and robbed him of everything that rightfully belonged to him.


    Their lives seemed worlds apart from each other. The one time his family member betrayed him was when Wen Danzhe lied that Wen Qinxi had taken his piece of chicken which he himself had eaten and that happened when Wen Danzhe was only three years old. Other than his greedy brother wanting more meat that was it.


    He suddenly felt like hugging Qie Ranzhe, a warm big hug. He fixed his messy hair and put on his slippers. Qie Ranzhe had helped him take a bath earlier so all he had to do was put on his slippers and go downstairs.


    The shirtless Qie Ranzhe was standing in front of the microwave with a tablet in his hand. His expression was sullen as he seriously read the instructions. Give him a legal document and he would be able to decipher it in a matter of minutes but anything to do with cooking was like trying to teach programming to a toddler.


    Wen Qinxi snuck up on him and slid his arms around Qie Ranzhe''s waist with his head resting on Qie Ranzhe''s back. Qie Ranzhe turned his head backwards as much as he can and asked, "Where you that impatient that you had toe down to hunt for food?" while cing his hand on Wen Qinxi''s that was wound around his waist.


    His smile was as radiant as the morning sun. If someone had told him a year ago that he would be dating his first love he wouldn''t have believed it. If it was a fortune teller he would have put them out of business by now. This was nothing but wishful thinking years ago.


    "Nope..... I just wanted to give you a big bear hug and tell you that I...," he said with his hands tightening around Qie Ranzhe''s waist. He wanted to say the L word but found that he was incredibly shy saying it out loud.


    "You what?" asked Qie Ranzhe in a soft tone wondering what his lover wanted to say. Negative thoughts were already looming over his head at this moment. He could only suppress them and squash down his insecurities.


    This was his nature and he couldn''t easily get rid of it. He had been betrayed plenty of times by his family that his mind couldn''t help but veer in that direction for some reason. He made it a priority to work on himself and not let these negative emotions affect his sweetheart. This man was incredibly hard to catch so why would he deliberately sabotage himself when he had finally caught his prey.


    "I love you," whispered Wen Qinxi in a barely audible voice but because of Qie Ranzhe''s especially good hearing, he heard it. His heart leapt out of his chest as a blush crept up his face all of a sudden. His sweetheart was honeying him up with sweet words out of the blue so how could he not blush.


    His Adam''s apple bobbed just as he cleared his throat. "I love you too," he said seeming a little nervous. He was so nervous that his palms became mmy. He had to hold the tablet well otherwise it could easily slip out of his hand in an instant. Satisfied, Wen Qinxi released him and hopped on the countertop asking him, "What are you doing?" peeking on the tablet but the screen suddenly turned ck like he was hiding something.


    "Ahem.... nothing... just, just go upstairs. I have got this," he fumbled through his words hiding the tablet behind his back. But Mama Wen didn''t raise a fool. It took him five seconds to realise what was going on.


    Wen Qinxi''s cheeks slightly puffed up suppressing a snicker. This man was trying to figure out how to operate the microwave. Wen Qinxi strongly believed that he even searched how long to heat each food item and what temperature is just right. "Let me," he said but Qie Ranzhe refused.


    He handed the tablet over instead and said, "You instruct and I will do it."


    Wen Qinxi yfully swung his legs while saying, "Turn it on at the button in the corner," as the dim tablet suddenly lit up. It was an email with the subject urgent so he passed it to Qie Ranzhe saying it''s your mother.


    "Oh," replied Qie Ranzhe taking it but just as he took it Wen Qinxi''s cellphone also received a notification. It was his mother and strangely enough, it was also marked as urgent.


    The moment they opened those emails the two of them froze on the spot. It was a full wedding n with everything from the venue to the guest list even outfits. "Fuck!" swore Wen Qinxi realising something. Their mums had met behind their backs.

 Chapter 544: Drunk Wedding Planning

    Chapter 544: Drunk Wedding nning


    Three things can happen when inws meet for the first time. One, there might be awkward silence and inward snorting as they secretly judge each other. Two, there could be disagreements among them which might escte into a conflict. Three, the atmosphere could be harmonious and high spirited. And then there were these two.


    The atmosphere was harmonious, alright but the two women had obviously drunk a little too much. Even Mama Wen the veteran drinker was utterly wasted. Worst of all they were nning a wedding drunk which meant some terrible choices were made.


    For instance, the venue options were in the middle of the Amazon forest so the new couple could get blessings from mother nature or option two the Himyas mountains to freeze all the negative energy out of the newlyweds'' rtionship. The intentions were good but the logic was seriously wed.


    Let''s not even mention the guest list. They dared to add twinkie the kid as a guest. Why on earth would the mascot for twinkies be at their wedding? Wen Qinxi already knew who between the two added this particr guest to the list. His mother was definitely still eating twinkies it''s just that she had hidden the contraband elsewhere because they couldn''t find traces of the stash in the house whenever he and his brother visited.


    The two men left their apartment in a hurry and drove to Mama Wen''s ce. When they got there these two women were giggling and chatting like old friends. They were obviously out of it. Wen Qinxi walked over and grabbed the bottle of baijiu with only a third left out of his mother''s hand.


    With the bottle disappearing right out of her hand Mama Wen''s eyes widened in disbelief. She shakily leaned forward, poked Dai Lee in the arm and whispered, "It''s gone... I had it in my hands and now," searching looking down at her hands and then back up at Dai Lee, "It''s gone....."


    Dai Lee chortled and stammered, "No, no, no..... gone yes bu-but it, it was him..... he robbed you. Huh? You, where is the skirt? It was pretty?"


    Her question was directed at Wen Qinxi making him relive the incident earlier. He red at the culprit who he med for this entire mess. Qie Ranzhe felt the heated gaze boring into his skin so he stared back at him apologetically. It was 99.991% his fault so he willingly epted the re.


    "Mum," he said rushing over to take his troublemaking mother away.


    If she was left to continue talking he might get into even bigger trouble with Wen Qinxi so he rushed over to shut her up but the matchstick had already been struck.


    "You-you know my son over, over here is the.... um.... the attack-... no the receiver in this-," said Mama Wen before she was rudely interrupted by her son.


    "Ma!" yelled Wen Qinxi but Mama Wen simply waved him off with her index finger on her lips.


    "Shh shh shh... mum is talking," she said before looking at Dai Lee, "He is the..... um..... the what''s that word. Oh, oh. I go-got it. He is the.... shou," she paused for dramatic effect before whispering the S word like she was telling a dirty secret to her ssmate.


    "Wah!" replied Dai Lee gasping with interest like she knew what it meant but as shown in a few seconds she had zero idea what it meant. "What does that mean?" she said leaning in closer for the details.


    "Oh, when a man and a....." exined Mama Wen but she was yet again cut off.


    "Ma!" yelled Wen Qinxi unable to bear it anymore.


    Mama Wen closed her mouth with her hand like she was preventing her uncontroble mouth from spilling out secrets. "I will tell you whe-when he is gone," she said making Wen Qinxi massage his forehead in frustration.


    Mama Wen might have stopped talking but Dai Lee was too curious. She gently elbowed her son and asked while partially covering her mouth as though to prevent Wen Qinxi from reading her lips though he could clearly hear what she was saying. "What is a shou..... and if he is a shou then what are you?"


    "Oh god," said Mama Wen snickering with her mouth closed. Wen Qinxi looked down at the bottle he had just confiscated and drank it all down. The two watched him drink it with a look of admiration on their faces. By the time Qie Ranzhe had reached over to grab the bottle, it was already empty.


    "Ma, your ydate is over. Come on, time for bed," said Wen Qinxi cing the empty bottle on the kitchen counter.


    Mama Wen wasn''t pleased by his words as she replied solemnly. "But we still have liquor, she can''t leave till all the liquor is gone," she said pouting like a three-year-old.


    "This was thest one. Ma, don''t be stubborn," he said struggling to coax his mother. If it was any other day he would apany her to drink but today his boyfriend and future mother inw were here and he didn''t want to be embarrassed any further than this.


    "It''s because you drank, drank it all. How, how unfilial. I am going to tell your father at the next tomb-sweeping day," she said with an aggrieved tone.


    Wen Qinxi almost rolled his eyes at her when the apartment door opened. "I am home," said Wen Danzhe about to take off his shoes that is until he saw the scene in the apartment and his actions paused.


    Liquor bottles, tipsy mother and snacks including empty twinkie wrappers equals... "No, no, I am not doing this. Goodbye," said Wen Danzhe before fixing his shoe that was half off. He immediately opened the door and left closing the it softly behind him.


    Qie Ranzhe, "....."


    Dai Lee, "....."


    "You see even he doesn''t want to deal with your drama when you are like this," said Wen Qinxi feeling d that at least she hadn''t started scolding his father, "don''t make trouble otherwise your new friend won''te over anymore."


    This threat seemed to work because she raised her hand seeking help to get up. "Let''s y tomorrow," she said almost sounding like a preschooler.


    Wen Qinxi helped her to the bedroom and immediately dialled Wen Danzhe''s number. The call wasn''t picked up the first time so he cut it and sent Wen Danzhe a message. In the well-lit bedroom, the only sounds wereing from the cellphone tapping and his mother''s light breathing.


    She wasn''t sleeping. In fact, she was obediently sitting there waiting for Wen Qinxi''smand. As soon as that text message was sent Wen Danzhe who had vanished earlier on abruptly opened the apartment door and politely greeted the guests before rushing over to his mother''s bedroom. He ced hisptop bag on the dressing table and said, "Go on, I will take care of her. You don''t have to worry about anything."


    He was even gently pushing his brother out of the room with a smile that reached his eyes.

 Chapter 545: Drunken Promises

    Chapter 545: Drunken Promises


    With one mother taken care of the three left the apartment building heading for Dai Lee''s house. With the two of them in the front and Dai lee at the back snoozing away, the car drove through the busy streets.


    Wen Qinxi was looking outside the window seeming somewhat lost in thought. When the car stopped in front of a red traffic light, Qie Ranzhe ced his warm hand over Wen Qinxi''s thigh drawing his attention.


    "I am sorry about her. She''s not usually this overbearing," said Qie Ranzhe apologizing on behalf of his mother.


    Wen Qinxi shook his head and said, "No need to apologize. The two are quite simr so it''s a good thing they met. They wouldn''t drink together if they didn''t like each other." A slight smile quirked up at the corner of his lips as he ced his hand on top of Qie Ranzhe''s.


    Qie Ranzhe subconsciously licked his bottom lip as he leaned forward to kiss the corner of Wen Qinxi''s lips but his actions were suddenly interrupted. Dai Lee ced her elbow on the driver''s seat and started wagging her finger like an old auntie.


    "Yo-you two, stop it. I am, I am still in this car and I..... I, I am your mother. Don''t smooch this cute face in front of me," she said squeezing both sides of Wen Qinxi''s cheeks.


    Qie Ranzhe tried to peel her off his boyfriend but the traffic light turned green leaving him with no choice but to drive. "Mum put on your seat belt. Why did you even unbuckle it?" asked Qie Ranzhe searching for a secure ce to park the vehicle and help his mother.


    Dai Lee didn''t register any of his words talking to her inw. "If you marry him I will give you a house and a car as dowry... if you stay with him for five years, I will buy you a yacht..... ten years and I will buy you an ind. How about that? Is your mummy inw rich or what?" she made promises that should never be taken seriously, "Look how stoic his face is.... anything short of arranged marriage I thought, thought he would be single for life..."


    "Okay, that''s enough from you," said Qie Ranzhe as he parked the car on the side of the road. He got out soon after and buckled her seat belt in ce. They soon drove off as a sweet atmosphere brewed between the two love birds. Wen Qinxi was looking outside the window with a small smile on his face. He wanted tough at Dai Lee''s words but suppressed the urge.


    Qie Ranzhe was also smiling foolishly ncing over to Wen Qinxi time and time again. He couldn''t hold back any longer so he asked, "What did you say to my brother inw that made hime back that fast?"


    Wen Qinxi snickered and said, "I told him that I will buy him a BMW if hees back."


    Qie Ranzhe couldn''t understand why he was snickering so he asked, "Then why are you looking like the Grinch right now?"


    "Haha, because I can''t wait to see his face when I hand him a model car. Pfft...hahaha..... do you, do you think he will like it," said Wen Qinxi imagining the look on his brother''s face. Talk about the prank of the century.


    With a throaty chuckle, Qie Ranzhe smiled as he said, "I am marrying a vile ghoul. How could you do that to him. I wi-," he said as the car approached the gate of the property but he stopped speaking when he saw the person standing at his mother''s gate.


    His expression darkened like the dark side of the moon with the harmonious atmosphere abruptly changing to something out of a horror movie. Qie Ranzhe parked the car and got out mming the door with a loud bang.


    Wen Qinxi wanted toe out and stop him because he looked like he was about to kill someone. This dark sinister aura was one he only saw in gship but it was now manifesting itself in the real world.


    Like he had a sixth sense, Qie Ranzhe turned around and said, "You stay," before walking forward.


    His stepmother was standing by his mother''s gate supposedly looking for Dai Lee. From the tremble in her legs, she seemed to have been standing there for a long time. Wen Qinxi couldn''t hear anything but he could clearly tell the situation was tense.


    While contemting whether to disobey Qie Ranzhe or not, Dai Lee suddenly rose from her slumber and mumbled, "Are we there yet?" rubbing her eye. She looked like an adorable sheep with zero of that intimidating nature of hers.


    Wen Qinxi was about to respond when Dai Lee in her haze saw the slut who caused her plenty of grievances in the past. "The nerve of this bitch," she said taking off her heel before hurriedly opening the car door.


    "Oh shit,'' mumbled Wen Qinxi as he opened his door to stop Dai Lee. The two people looked in their direction and the smell of gunpowder immediately became intense.


    Dai Lee looked like a psychopathic killer who had the harness on her neck taken off. She was ready to bite this woman to death. Pointing her red stiletto at Madam Qie version 2.0 she said, "You better run back to your husband''s home before I fuck you up. Are you fuckin lost cause this isn''t the Qie Mansion so get the fuck off my property?"


    Those words had Madam Qie 2.0 angered. Shepletely forgot she was here to beg Dai Lee to convince her unruly child to back off. "You are just jealous. I know you still have a thing for him that''s why you are being this hostile. You can''t have him so get it straight into your head because bitch, he chose me..... Ah!" she screamed when the stiletto was thrown past her.


    Madam Qie 2.0 curled up screaming pretending as though she had been hit and started wailing.


    "Who gives a fuck about that man whore. I just want you off my property," said Dai Lee snorting coldly at her act that she was ever familiar with. "Call the police," she said to Wen Qinxi while taking out a pair of fluffy slippers from under the seat.


    "She hit me..... she''s hitting people. She wants to kill me. Your mother wants to kill me. I am going to sue her and the world will see her getting dragged to jail!" she yelled with Qie Ranzhe''s face turning even darker. This vile woman was truly testing his patients.


    Unfortunately for her, her n was seen through by Wen Qinxi who dragged his boyfriend away as he conversed with the police. She was trying to incite Qie Ranzhe to hit her so she could ckmail them but nothing was bound to go her way this time.

 Chapter 546: Stiletto Throwing Skills

    Chapter 546: Stiletto Throwing Skills


    Madam Qie 2.0 was a certified professional scammer who earned a living from it. She scammed her way into another woman''s family by making herself into a fragile victim. One would ask what kind of idiot will fall for her tricks? The secret was in her fragile-looking porcin face.


    Whether her face was natural or stic it didn''t matter because the effect was the same regardless. All she had to do was act coquettish, put on an aggrieved look or pout her lips with reddened eyes and the doors will open for her.


    Her face though wasn''t her ultimate weapon. It was what was between her legs that sealed the deal with Master Qie. She didn''t have feelings for him or anything like that.


    He was just a means to an end for her and when he failed to save her son she decided to take matters into her own hands. This is why she made a pathetic attempt to get the woman she kicked off this seat to help her.


    But instead of asking for help, she turned to what she knows best and that''s behaving like a green tea bitch of the highest order. She loved her face as it was her golden ticket but she wouldn''t mind a bruise here or aceration there so she could ckmail this pair of mother and son.


    Her n would have gone well if it weren''t because of Dai Lee''s shitty stiletto throwing skills. She failed to hit her with the stiletto flying over the gate.


    What she didn''t know was that there was nothing wrong with Dai Lee''s stiletto throwing skills. She had thrown her shoes at multiple victims in her childhood that she became an expert at it. This time she didn''t intend to hurt her so she threw it over her gate on purpose. Dai Lee just wanted to scare her.


    That man almost brought her to death''s door so why would she give a damn about him. Her heart had already frozen over a long time ago and felt nothing for him. All she cared about was her son and of course, her new inw which is why she didn''t hesitate to call the police so they can drag this crazy person away.


    What worried her the most was her son losing his temper but when she saw him obediently allowing Wen Qinxi to drag him away she was at ease. Despite this shameless woman turning her insults towards her son possibly trying to anger him so he could retaliate and throw the first punch, Qie Ranzhe remained indifferent treating her like air. His gaze was on Wen Qinxi''s back with his ears almost deaf to her insults.


    It was at this moment Dai Lee realised something. As long as Wen Qinxi was by her son''s side his temper remained cool. This was like a homeostatic system with Wen Qinxi acting as the regtor preventing her son from going berserk. Unlike Zhao Huangzhi who when insulted would urge her son to defend her honour. It was bitches like her who wouldnd her son in trouble nonstop.


    Madam Qie 2.0 saw that insulting Dai Lee and threatening to sue wasn''t working so she started on Wen Qinxi when she saw him holding Qie Ranzhe''s arm and Qie Ranzhe smittenly staring at the man like he was head over heels. Qie Anzhie had told her about how he had provoked Qie Ranzhe by attacking his boy toy and judging from the current situation the boy toy must be this man.


    Seeing an opportunity she took out her hateful skill card and began to insult the pair using the most derogatory words which aren''t worth mentioning. She exhausted her vocabry trying to incite Qie Ranzhe but it was as though her words didn''t even reach his ears. It seemed there was some type of invisible barrier shielding them from her nonsense.


    Qie Ranzhe was looking at Wen Qinxi with a dreamy expression like there was only this man in the entire world. Wen Qinxi''s ears turned red as he pressed his lips into a straight line trying to suppress a smile that was creeping up the corner of his mouth. He was seriously trying to listen to the policeman on the phone but Qie Ranzhe''s stare almost made him lose hisposure.


    He let go of Qie Ranzhe''s arm and used his hand to turn the man''s face away before taking a few steps forward. The only problem was that Qie Ranzhe wasn''tisant. He took Wen Qinxi''s free hand into his and hugged him from behind with his chin resting on Wen Qinxi''s shoulder.


    Dai Lee, "..."


    Madam Qie version 2.0, "....."


    Were kids these days so unbridled? How about saving a little face for these poor olddies.


    Qie Ranzhe was in the middle of sniffing his lover''s neck when his back was suddenly pped by something very familiar. It seemed Dai Lee''s shoe-throwing fit wasn''t only limited to strangers but her son also had the honour to experience it a couple of times. The slipper urately hit his back before the scoldingmenced.


    "We are in public..... restrain yourself a little," she spoke through gritted teeth but her reprimand fell on deaf ears.


    The vulture over there even stopped wailing for a second as she took out her cell phone to record the lovey-dovey scene. Either two things woulde out of this situation. One, Qie Ranzhe or Dai Lee would try and snatch the cell phone from her which would ultimately lead to a fight so she can ckmail them with or two, she sells this piece of news to the media.


    If her family was going down then she would drag them to hell with her. A malicious smile shed on her face before her expression abruptly changed back to the look of a victim. She could hear the sounds of sirens approaching so she began to shout.


    "I am recording it... soon the entire world will know how filthy and disgusting you are," she said with a tremor in her voice trying to seem as distraught as possible.


    "Baby, do you mind if they know?" he asked Wen Qinxi struggling to restrain himself in front of his mother which was the hardest thing for him to do. me him for having a cute boyfriend.


    Wen Qinxi shook his head. He didn''t really care if the whole world knew. Maybe it was because their circumstances put them in such a position that no one could bully them or ruin their lives that he didn''t care.


    If they had regr jobs and lived in a backward society then he might stay in the closet till their situation was better. If they were in that type of situation he wouldn''t mind ying the ''we are roommates'' card FYI ''roommates who kiss and bed each other each night'' *wink.

 Chapter 547: Too Much Dog Food

    Chapter 547: Too Much Dog Food


    "I don''t mind as long as you don''t mind," he said as he put his cellphone in his pocket. Qie Ranzhe couldn''t hold back any longer tightly embracing his boyfriend while sniffing his soft hair to his heart''s content.


    Dai Lee couldn''t help but feel like a nun at a catholic school prom trying to keep the waltzing pair at a respectable distance apart. Before this, she thought Dai Yu and Shao Lan were bad but these two were even worse.


    "Qie Ranzhe! Just an FYI, I still have one more slipper. Keep your hands to yourself," she said as she watched his stray hand move down to Wen Qinxi''s butt.


    Dog food! Dog food! Too much dog food!


    Dai Lee''s mouth went agape as she dashed over to separate them. She was just in time to save face as the police officers showed up.


    Having been treated like air, Madam Qie 2.0 started wailing even louder with her hands on her head like she had suffered through a traumatic experience. "Officers, she assaulted me. Look, look..... she threw that stiletto," she said acting like she had been assaulted.


    The two gentlemen walked over to hear both sides of the story with the elder gentleman heading in Dai Lee''s direction who was currently holding a slipper in her hand stepping on the ground with her bare feet.


    At a first nce, one could easily make assumptions but this officer wasn''t a blind believer. He walked over with his holster belt swaying with his hips in a mesmerizing way. "Good evening ma''am. Would you like to tell me what happened here?" he said taking out his notepad.


    Dai Lee was too busy being angry at her son that she failed to prioritize. "I threw a slipper at my son. Officer, you need to take him to horny jail otherwise too much dog food will kill me. His hand just now was *ahem... anyway he needs to get a hold of himself, right?" she said turning to face the officer standing beside him. She froze as the slipper in her hand fell on the ground with a loud pa sound.


    This man was incredibly handsome with a well kept white beard and a brawny body. He looked like one of those actors from those cop shows only that he wasn''t an actor but the real deal. Dai Lee blushed with her eyshes fluttering subconsciously. She tucked her hair behind her ear and stammered, "Trespass..... she, she is trespassing so yah, arrest, arrest her," feeling sweaty all of a sudden. She looked away and fanned herself with her hand while mouthing, "too hot."


    Qie Ranzhe, "...."


    Wen Qinxi, "....."


    "Ma''am, have you been drinking tonight?" asked the sexy cop as he picked up both of her slippers before cing them in front of her with a beautiful smile.


    Okay, now Qie Ranzhe understood what his mother meant. You can call it karma or a message from the universe. He abandoned his wife and went over to prevent his mother from being swindled by a thirst trap of a cop.


    Wen Qinxi, "...."


    Unexpectedly, Madam Qie 2.0 left the property in handcuffs because there was already a warrant of arrest out for her. As for the crime, it had something to do with her son and husband''s illegal activity. It seemed Master Qie wasn''t going to let that bitch spend his money while he is in prison so he implicated her.


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t really care for the oue, he was just d that the officer was gone otherwise he might end up with a cop for a stepfather overnight.


    Sure enough, his mother''s tipsy self had already fallen into the trap. "What was his name again? Officer..... officer Chen or was it, Wang. Ran-er, what was it?" she asked as they entered her house.


    "Officer Wa-...mm mhm," was the muffled sound of Wen Qinxi''s mouth after being covered by Qie Ranzhe''s hand.


    "Why do you want to know that?" asked Qie Ranzhe as he let go of his boyfriend. He ced his arm around Wen Qinxi''s waist about to lead him out of the door.


    The auntie that assists his mother walked over and helped her sit on the couch trying not to eavesdrop on this weird conversation. "Why? Of course, it''s because he is good looking. Why else would I ask for his name? Oh, and did you get his precinct details just in case I need to.... you know... follow up," she said feeling giddy.


    Qie Ranzhe, "....."


    "You are still drunk, aren''t you? I can''t deal with this right now. I am leaving..... seriously, don''t hook up with an officer," he warned before dragging Wen Qinxi along out of the house.


    Just as the door closed she mumbled, "So he can have a boyfriend and I can''t have a fling with a sexy officer?"


    Auntie, "....."


    Something was definitely wrong with the madam today.


    The pair of lovers left Dai Lee''s home and drove back to their apartment. Qie Ranzhe wasn''t in a good mood so he grabbed two beers as soon as he changed his shoes. Wen Qinxi slumped on the couch after taking off his jacket and switched on the TV for some noise.


    Today he had not only lost his virginity but also his mother met his inw plus the confrontation at his mother inw''s gate. He just needed to get out of his brain for a second.


    It seemed he wasn''t the only one who wanted to get out of his brain. Qie Ranzhe copsed beside him and handed him a beer before casually cing his hand behind Wen Qinxi. The two silently drank the beer for a while with theirthoughts veering in opposite directions.


    One was nning on heating some food for the both of them while the other was thinking about how he can getid again tonight. You can easily guess which thought belonged to whom.


    Qie Ranzhe decided to take advantage of the situation and used the ''pity'' card. He ced the bottle on the ss coffee table andy his head on Wen Qinxi''sp as he heaved a deep sigh. It was about time for this CEO to tutor all amateurs out there who want to learn how to getid twice in one day.


    Wen Qinxi had no idea what his lover was up to stroking Qie Ranzhe''s soft silky hair with zero awareness. By the second sigh, Wen Qinxi couldn''t hold back any longer asking, "Are you okay?"


    Qie Ranzhe grinned foolishly as it was game over for this nerd. He was most definitely getting ripped tonight.

 Chapter 548: NSFW

    Chapter 548: NSFW


    Caught in a love trap, Wen Qinxi had no one else to me but himself. He had been lured by this horny beast and allowed himself to be reeled into this borate trap. Even if he had Steve Hawkins'' IQ he would have still fallen for it. That shows how powerful Qie Ranzhe''s entrapment skills were.


    They were just sipping wine and the next second he was being pressed down on the couch with his clothes dishevelled. As for the culprit, his top half was naked and he was towering above him showing off his perfectly sculpted body making Wen Qinxi gulp subconsciously.


    Wen Qinxi touched his slightly swollen lips and said in an usatory tone, "Why did you have to suck them so hard? What do you think is going toe out of them, milk?"


    Qie Ranzhe grinned like a fool as he unzipped Wen Qinxi''s pants. He bit his bottom lip and said, "I am marking my territory..... look, you left this bite mark on me so why can''t I leave my mark on you?"


    Wen Qinxi felt a feeling of helplessness with his fingers pointing at the hickeys left from earlier that had already turned purple.


    "By the time you are done with me I am going to look like a fuckin poker dot," said Wen Qinxi but after that, he wasn''t speaking anymore.


    He was gasping for air with his member being held by his lover. Qie Ranzhe leaned down while diligently stroking Wen Qinxi''s cock. He kissed the nerd''s ear and whispered, "Be good..... and I promise to do it only once, okay."


    Wen Qinxi wasn''t foolish enough to believe that but chose not to call him out on it. Qie Ranzhe was especially gentle with him from the beginning but halfway in things turned a bit heavy.


    Qie Ranzhe knew if he heard Wen Qinxi crying he would stop and if stopped he would get scolded so he decided on a reasonable method. With his boyfriend''s permission, he tied a silk cloth gag on Wen Qinxi. The nerd looked at him inquisitively but Qie Ranzhe avoided his gaze like a guilty person.


    He bought these things on impulse after watching what they did in gship. To be fair he was drunk shopping on Taobao and might or might not have put it in his cart identally. What he didn''t realise was that his true sexual nature was creeping out slowly but surely. Let us take some time of silence for our poor nerd''s chrysanthemum....


    Wen Qinxi didn''t get to re at him any longer as he was instantly taken from behind with his arms pulled back. A loud pa sound echoed in the air as Qie Ranzhe thrust in hard into that sweet ce.


    The thrill and excitement coursed through his veins and nerve endings. As though injected by chicken blood he lost all his restraint and began to plunder this man like a ruthless pirate.


    Wen Qinxi''s muffled whimpers excited him further with his cock hardening a little more. "Ohh yeah, oh baby..... you taste so fuckin good," he said parting Wen Qinxi''s butt cheeks as he slowly plunged into that warm sticky hole. His body involuntarily shuddered as the warmth from that ce enveloped him like he had hit the right spot.


    With a look of content, he slid his hand towards Wen Qinxi''s front and lovingly stroked the erect member while sucking on his lover''s neck. He slowly licked some of Wen Qinxi''s tears as his other hand slid to the man''s throat. He massaged it gently and whispered, "Does it feel good?"


    Wen Qinxi felt like his entire body was drifting in a sea of pleasure. The more he let go of his control and trusted Qie Ranzhe the greater the intensity of his reward. The pain was still there especially when they had already done it earlier but the feeling was highly addictive that he wanted more.


    He nodded his head with his hand gripping the backrest of the couch tightly. "Do you trust me?" whispered Qie Ranzhe in a deep and enchanting voice that had Wen Qinxi trembling involuntarily. Again Wen Qinxi nodded his head as a tingly sensation spread from his neck which Qie Ranzhe was massaging.


    "Listen to daddy and I will make sure you are satisfied..., okay," he said lifting one of Wen Qinxi''s legs and cing it on the armrest of the couch. Wen Qinxi nodded his head once more with his eyes closed. He licked his dry lips paying attention to Qie Ranzhe''s hands that were caressing his skin as though admiring a piece of expensive porcin.


    "Mmm..... ngh~," were the muffled lewd soundsing from Wen Qinxi enjoying being pampered by his sweetheart.


    "You are mine and I..... belong to you only," said Qie Ranzhe before inserting his member into that sweet hole making Wen Qinxi gasp from the stimtion. Qie Ranzhe began to thrust continuously while fondling his man''s butt cheeks.


    In his excitement, he even dared to smack Wen Qinxi''s ass living a red palm print. Wen Qinxi was instantly jerked out of his trance but because he was reaching his peak, he ignored it and sank deep into the wormhole of passion.


    His muscles stiffened warning the man thrusting into him in advance. Qie Ranzhe took off the cloth gag desperate to hear Wen Qinxi''s obscene sounds as he climaxed.


    "Yes.... , oh daddy....fuck... ah, I am getting there....ngh~ ngh~ .... ah," he said drooling at the corner of his lips as a thick white fluid seeped down his cock staining the expensive couch but neither of them didn''t notice.


    Qie Ranzhe waited for him to catch his breath before carrying him and cing him on hisp as he sat down on the couch. The two made out as Qie Ranzhe held his member thrusting it back inside. Wen Qinxi gasped for air and the stiff member pushed deep inside him. He endured the pain and began to rhythmically move riding on his man while biting his lower lip like he had been bullied.


    Qie Ranzhe ced his palm on the back of Qie Ranzhe''s neck and drew him closer for a deep passionate kiss. When the nerd felt some difort he would gently suck and nibble on the man''s lips as sweet whimpers escape his throat.


    This CEO thoroughly tasted and ate the delicious nectar of love till he climaxed shooting out all his pent up desires. Soon after that he carried his lover to the warm tub where the two of them slipped in and enjoyed a lovely bath while ying with foam.


    Don''t talk about doting because Qie Ranzhe did more than that. He pampered his lover to the extreme from drying his body to clothing him before ordering new dishes. Since he had fucked the only person who knew how to use a microwave till they were powerless he couldn''t reheat the other dishes.


    This time he made sure to tell them to deliver the meals hot so he didn''t end up getting into a fight with the microwave. Knowing his temper he might have ended up throwing the thing on the ground in anger.

 Chapter 549: Jolies Companion

    Chapter 549: Jolie''s Companion


    Wen Qinxi''s mood became especially good after being fed. Heid on his side and prepared to sleep. Just as he closed his eyes, Qie Ranzhe got into bed and propped his body up with his elbow as he silently watched his lover.


    "Baby," he said tapping the man lying beside him.


    "Mn?" answered Wen Qinxi without opening his eyes.


    Qie Ranzhe licked his lips as he ced his hand over Wen Qinxi to cuddle him but the thing south of the border had Wen Qinxi''s eyes abruptly open in shock. He knew it. The ''do it once'' was just building castles in the air.


    "Back, the, fuck, up,.... when did this be a hoe house?" said Wen Qinxi eyeing Qie Ranzhe through his peripheral view. Qie Ranzhe''s arm froze mid-air fully aware of his greed for Wen Qinxi. All these years he had imagined and dreamt himself doing this and that to his lover so it made sense why he would be this enthusiastic.


    Qie Ranzhe suppressed a smile and said, "I promise I won''t do anything. Let''s sleep," as he embraced his lover.


    "Your promises in bed count for shit. If you dare poke me with that thing tonight, you will end up sleeping on the couch," he threatened and for sure the CEO became incredibly docile cuddling his feisty bunny to sleep.


    Since the terms and conditions only applied tost night, Wen Qinxi was woken up by Qie Ranzhe sucking on his morning wood under the quilt.


    Wen Qinxi, "..."


    That''s it, he was done for. He sincerely hoped Qie Ranzhe would calm down eventually because as of yesterday he was behaving like a teenager who had just been introduced to sex. It was like the nerd had opened pandora''s box and found Qie Ranzhe''s high sexual drive as a consequence thereof.


    When these two finally got to the office they were met by inquisitive stares. That''s because of the video circting on online media tforms and also the way Qie Ranzhe''s arm possessively wound around Wen Qinxi''s waist. This basically confirmed the rumours invoking mixed reactions.


    People began to question whether the previous rumours about Wen Qinxi being the CEO''s kept man were true. Wen Qinxi tried to ignore their gazes as Qie Ranzhe led him to the elevator. As soon as those elevator doors closed Wen Qinxi was suddenly backed into a corner in a ssic wall m.


    He swallowed his saliva fawning over this fine specimen. He reached out to touch the side of the man''s chest but clenched his fist halfway when he remembered the camera. Qie Ranzhe leaned closer with a smile of mischief making Wen Qinxi''s hair stand on end.


    "I don''t like the way they look at you.... so what should I do to calm the jealous side of me," he said with his intense lustful gaze slowly sweeping over Wen Qinxi''s face.


    Wen Qinxi felt like a cat whose tail had been stepped on with his mmy hands pressed against the elevator wall.


    "How is that my problem? You, you should know that I, Wen Qinxi of the Wen family am only loyal to you and only have eyes for you. I can''t control other people''s eyes but I can control mine so, so..... stop seducing me in the elevator there are cameras," said Wen Qinxi but instead of backing up Qie Ranzhe kissed him till his knees softened.


    Yes, the camera was there but this building was also his and the security team knew the rules so he kissed his lover to his heart''s content. It''s just that Wen Qinxi was so thin-skinned when it came to such things that he blushed profusely keeping his head down as he walked out of the elevator. Because his legs were a little soft his steps were wobbly making Qie Ranzhe subconsciously reach over.


    Unfortunately, he was a little toote because Wen Qinxi fell into the huge potted nt in the hallway. An embarrassed Wen Qinxi stood up hurriedly and said, "I am fine..... just, just go. I am totally fine," he said before scurrying away with a reddened face.


    Qie Ranzhe''s lips couldn''t help but quirk up into a smile as he watched his lover disappear into the gaming room.


    Meanwhile, Wen Qinxi entered the gaming room d to have run away from an embarrassing situation only tond himself into an even more embarrassing situation. Hei Bao was sitting on Xia Bai''sp making out.


    "Fuck no," said Wen Qinxi feeling like walking back into the hallway and bury himself into the flower pot of the potted nt. Hei Bao guiltily got off Xia Bai''sp and hurriedly attempted to smooth things over.


    "We didn''t... I... Qi-ge haha, you are back," he said wiping his sweaty palms on his pants.


    Xia Bai was about to cover for his boyfriend when Wen Qinxi raised his index finger to shh them. "Don''t let it happen again," he said feeling like a hypocrite. He had just made out with the CEO in the elevator and now he was reprimanding others.


    "It won''t happen again, we promise. Actually, this is the only time it happened," exined Xia Bai but someone snitched on him.


    "Don''t you mean five times? Do you remember?" said Jolie spilling the tea like a true gossip girl.


    Xia Bai gritted his teeth saying, "Shut up. No one is talking to you."


    "Oh, it must be that you forgot so let me remind you. You made outst Tuesday over there and Thursday it was in the gaming cap-," said Jolie before it was rudely cut off by Hei Bao.


    "Okay, okay we remember just don''t say anymore. We promise it won''t happen again," eximed Hei Bao his face as ripe as a cherry.


    "Mn," responded Wen Qinxi before sitting in front of a disy, "I just brought something that I want you guys to take a look at." He started typing away at a fast pace with the two men standing behind him. Even they hadn''t figured out what was happening yet when Jolie suddenly screamed.


    It''s safe to say this AI was incredibly dramatic. "What is that? Why is it cute and fluffy? AAAAHHHHH I can''t... too cute, too cute, too cute. I love it, I love it, I love it, AAAAAHHHHHHH. Do you want to kill me with Meng because I will happily sacrifice myself," said Jolie feeling like it was on top of the world. It had finally got itspanion and it was so cute.


    A wolfish grin appeared on Wen Qinxi''s face as he typed in a fewmands before pressing the enter key. The once ecstatic Jolie who was holding the fluff ball in its arms stiffened when the fluff ball vanished and was reced by a tall exotic man who smiled happily and said, "Hie," in a deep voice that could shake mountains.


    The scream of excitement from before abruptly changed to a scream of fright as the AI ran around the disy forgetting it could just vanish. Even if it could vanish thispanion will keep chasing it.


    Exotic Al, "..."

 Chapter 550: Servicing The CEO Under The Desk

    Chapter 550: Servicing The CEO Under The Desk


    The three people found Jolie''s reaction rather amusing. No matter how much the AI begged for amnesty it wasn''t granted. It had to endure it while looking like it was going to murder someone. But that wasn''t the highlight of the day.


    It was how thepanion AI tried to coax Jolie which was especially hrious and cute. After half a day of making fun of his creation, Wen Qinxi decided to go mess with someone else and that someone could only be Qie Ranzhe.


    As soon as he got up he was met by a fresh new face of a nice-looking auntie. It was her first day recing Li Menxie and she seemed nice. The two exchanged pleasantries which were quite refreshing.


    After that, he knocked on his boyfriend''s office door and entered in a good mood. Wen Qinxi ambled over and was met with a radiant smile that warmed his heart. This is how it should be for everyone.


    Having a lover you can share all your joys and sorrows with. Someone who can put a smile on your face and has your back no matter what you are going through. This is what Wen Qinxi would define as true love.


    Wen Qinxi kissed Qie Ranzhe''s cheek the moment he got closer. He draped his arm around Qie Ranzhe''s shoulder while reading the documents. They were results from the trial which were good and now Qie Ranzhe was sorting through the application forms for safety certification.


    "I will let you finish. Let me know when you are done," said Wen Qinxi before lying on the couch with his cellphone in his hand. He especially didn''t mind waiting for him to finish his work.


    "Mn," replied Qie Ranzhe failing to regain his work momentum for a second and who could me him? The nerd looked especially cute slumped on the couch. Qie Ranzhe suddenly wanted to see him in those big framed sses again. It was such a shame that Wen Qinxi had already reced his contact lenses.


    "Baby, what''s your diopter?" asked Qie Ranzhe with his eyes on the documents.


    Wen Qinxi answered casually without thinking twice. "1.25," he said while messing with his cellphone. He soon heard tapping soundsing from Qie Ranzhe''s desk but didn''t think much of it.


    An hourter the new assistant came in and delivered something before she left. The two focused on their own thing for a while but Wen Qinxi suddenly became restless. He just wanted to find something else to do so he decided on screwing with Qie Ranzhe for a second. As the saying goes all work no y makes Jack a dull boy.


    After much contemtion, he decided to walk over and see what his man was up to. The serious look on his face when he reviewed documents made Wen Qinxi feel some type of way.


    He deliberately sat at the corner of the desk and whispered, "Ran-ge," with a wicked smile on his face like he was about to start trouble.


    Qie Ranzhe was already knee-deep in work mode that he didn''t realise something was up with his little lover. "Mn," he replied with his brows furrowed as though seriously pondering something.


    "I am bored," he said when he noticed a blue blue case for carrying spectacles. Curious, he opened the case only to find a pair simr to the ones he had before just that these were new. He put them on while asking, "Why did you have to buy these for me when I already wear contacts?"


    Qie Ranzhe raised his head to look at him and smiled. He was seeing that same look his lover had when they were in high school making him feel some type of way. This action was innocent enough but the way his lover pouted his lips and lowered his sses while staring at him made his heart pound hard against his chest.


    He turned his body to face Wen Qinxi as he twirled a pen in between his fingers. Wen Qinxi could clearly tell from those eyes that his actions had ignited an inexplicable passion within his boyfriend but he didn''t back down. He knew he was ying with fire when he lifted Qie Ranzhe''s chin as he leaned down whispering, "Do you need me to service you CEO Qie?"


    Qie Ranzhe hadn''t finished his work and knew he had to do it but what man could resist the seductive undertones from the person they love? His Adam''s apple bobbed as he swallowed hard with his gaze slowly sweeping over Wen Qinxi''s face down to his slender neck with an obvious mark from what they didst night.


    "Baby," he said in a husky voice but Wen Qinxi ced his index finger on his lips and slid down under the desk while biting his lower lip.


    Qie Ranzhe didn''t immediately catch on to what was happening at first that is until the nerd touched his crotch area.


    When the man mentioned servicing earlier he didn''t think he meant this type of service. He grabbed the remote on his desk and immediately locked the door running his fingers through Wen Qinxi''s hair.


    "Ah... baby," was all he could say as his arousal was enveloped in the warmth of Wen Qinxi''s mouth. The intense feeling that came with doing this kind of thing in the office was beyond words. It was so pleasurable that he couldn''t help but groan as Wen Qinxi''s tongue teased the tip of his member.


    The room was suddenly filled with low gruff groans and the asional sound of sucking motion. He looked down into his lover''s watery eyes and flushed face which undoubtedly excited him further.


    He pressed down Wen Qinxi''s head as he leaned back into his seat to thoroughly enjoy Wen Qinxi''s pampering. The intense pleasure had him unable to hold back as his muscles stiffened slowly approaching the peak of his climax.


    Unable to bear it anymore he shot out with a loud groan. Panting heavily he took some tissue from the box on his table to let his lover spit it out but the nerd swallowed Qie Ranzhe''s essence with a lustful appearance that made the CEO want to push him down and fuck him senseless on the desk.


    "You truly are dangerous, do you know that?" asked Qie Ranzhe as he reached out to wipe the corner of Wen Qinxi''s mouth smudged with evidence of their deeds.


    The liquid was flowing down at the corner of Wen Qinxi''s lips. He wiped it off with his thumb but before he could wipe it away with a tissue, his hand was suddenly caught and his thumb was licked cleaned by Wen Qinxi.


    "You!....." said the tongue-tied CEO. Wen Qinxi grinned maliciously as he zipped the man''s pants but before he could get up the door was suddenly swung open with force.


    Qie Ranzhe could hear his new assistant calling out for security but it was already toote. Zhao Huangzhi was standing at the door with a face ridden with tears. Her chest heaved violently as she tossed her handbag on the ground calling out to him


    "Ran-ge, how... how could you do this to me. Do all those years we spent together count for nothing?" she said as the assistant hurriedly rushed over to drag her out but her hand was flung away as Zhao Huangzhi was much stronger than her.


    "Get your filthy hands off me... baby, please. Can''t we discuss this like adults..... please? I promise you won''t regret giving me a second chance. You, you can even have that programmer of yours..... you can take him as a concubine if you like. I won''t mind just, just let me be with you, okay?"


    The desperation in her brittle voice was obvious as she hesitantly moved forward. She knew Qie Ranzhe''s temper and didn''t want to aggravate him further but she couldn''t hold back her feelings anymore. It was her desperation that led her to this point. She couldn''t sleep nor think straight for the past few days with her family pointing fingers at her ming her for everything.


    But how was this her fault? When she had him her father kept talking him down and saying that he would never let her marry him. Now Qie Ranzhe didn''t want her and they med her for her failure to keep her man and bringing all this bad karma upon them.


    "I am so sorry Mr Qie, she just flew by me. I am truly sorry," apologized the aggrieved assistant who had been blindsided on her first day. She had worked for Dai Lee''s brother for years and never had she have to deal with a crazy woman making her job difficult for her.


    "It''s fine, go call security," he said with his cold stare stuck on Zhao Huangzhi. The assistance scurried away like she had been granted immunity.


    "Ran-ge.....," called out Zhao Huangzhi as her tears streamed down her face.


    "How do you have my ess card?" asked Qie Ranzhe in a harsh tone. Wen Qinxi could feel the dark aura surrounding his lover''s body that even he felt shivers run down his spine.


    He rubbed Wen Qinxi''s thigh from under the desk to appease him which eased the tension. It seemed this bitch wasn''t going to give up despite having lost everything.

 Chapter 551: Zhao Huangzhis Final Destination

    Chapter 551: Zhao Huangzhi''s Final Destination


    Wen Qinxi was too busy trying to cool down Qie Ranzhe''s temper and being embarrassed for having someone walk in while he was under the desk servicing the hood of the CEO''s car that he didn''t pay attention to Zhao Huangzhi''s words.


    It was when she said concubine again that he caught on to what this woman with no moralpass was suggesting. ''What the fuckkk,'' he said to himself as a glint of anger shed in his eyes. He clenched his fist till his knuckles turned white. His chest tightened further with each word she spoke.


    "I, I was wrong back then... I shouldn''t have listened to my father. I should, I should have epted your proposal," she said before kneeling on the cold floor pleading with him. With such a dishevelled appearance it made it hard for one to link this image to the arrogant and haughty Miss Zhao that trampled over men with her beauty.


    "I have plenty of advantages. I can, I can have a baby for you and you can have an heir and be, be with..... him," she said her voice getting smaller and smaller as she could feel a growing sense of dangering from Qie Ranzhe''s direction.


    What she didn''t know was that more than half of it wasing from someone under the desk.


    "I said where did you get my ess card?" asked Qie Ranzhe with his voice as bone-chilling as the arctic circle. Just as he asked this a bunch of security personnel dressed in ck walked in but before they took her away, Qie Ranzhe raised his index finger telling them to wait.


    This question again made her back visibly stiffen. How was she supposed to say it? That she stole the ess card from Dai Lee the day she was pped till she saw stars? Zhao Huangzhi bit her red lip while nervously picking at her nails. Her bangs clung to her forehead due to the bucket load of cold sweating from her body.


    "I, I.... it doesn''t matter now but.....what do you think about my proposal?" she said but she didn''t get the response she hoped for. In fact, the one who responded wasn''t Qie Ranzhe at all.


    "What the fuck is there to think about?" said the nerd as he emerged from underneath the desk with a face that clearly showed what he was doing there. Everything from his ears to his lips and cheeks was red with a seductive air to it. That wasn''t all. He also had a faint white mark at the corner of his lips. It was either he was drooling while sleeping under the desk or he was giving head to this CEO.


    "This," said Wen Qinxi as he leaned in close and gave Qie Ranzhe a possessive and tyrannical kiss like a protagonist in a dog blood drama, "is my man and I am not keen on sharing so fuck off." The kiss was incredibly short leaving Qie Ranzhe hanging.


    Zhao Huangzhi''s face grew pale with her piercing gaze on Wen Qinxi. The universe had finally corrected itself. She tried to mess with fate and the inevitable happened. But how could she take it lying down? Not a fat fucking chance.


    "You are one toin when you don''t have a fuckin vagina! How are you going to give him an heir? Do you think Dai Lee won''t want a grandkid? So fuckin stupid... I am giving you a way out but you refuse to take it...," she said but got startled when Wen Qinxi climbed over the desk exuding extreme killing intent that wasn''t there before. Just as the nerd climbed over the desk and was about to beat the shit out of Zhao Huangzhi, Qie Ranzhe pulled him back by the waist and intentionally or unintentionally made him sit on hisp.


    Wen Qinxi didn''t struggle. He remained seated but his hands and mouth weren''t idle. He was so angry that he spat out words no one should hear. It''s safe to say he had had enough of this woman and was tired of ying nice. Since she couldn''t understand normal words then maybe vulgar words would knock some sense into her.


    "You dump @^@%$!%# who the @@^%@&$ do you think you are @^!%$!# with? I will @^%!^^@# you up and don''t think just because you are a girl I won''t @&@%!%@$ till you look like you ran into a @^!%%@^ train. #^^!%@^# your father who @^@%%@@% spoiled you that you @%@^:#@ think this world revolves around you.....," was the epic swearing session initiated by Wen Qinxi rudely pointing at the culprit.


    Because he was moving too much his hair that had already been messed up from the deed earlier got even more dishevelled with some of his strands sticking to his forehead from all that sweating.


    Security team, "..."


    There was only one thing they could say about the president''s wife which was ''vicious''. Even their tails were tucked between their legs despite the scolding not being directed at them.


    Qie Ranzhe gestured at them to take Zhao Huangzhi away while he soothed his angry bunny with his chin resting on Wen Qinxi''s shoulder. "Don''t worry baby, I will make sure she won''t bother us again," he said with his tender loving gaze on Wen Qinxi''s shed face. He brushed away the strands on the man''s forehead while coaxing him.


    As for Zhao Huangzhi, she was chloroformed and dragged out of the office before being sent to a psychiatric hospital far north of the country. Whatever method Qie Ranzhe used to make her seem crazy was so convincing that the hospital deemed this admission justified.


    No one understands the pain of living each day trying to convince everyone that you are not crazy especially after being stuffed with drugs that one can''t even pronounce properly. Well, to be fair Zhao Huangzhi is a little crazy so, yep. What made it worse was that when her parents found out where she was they didn''t seem to care to bail her out. They thought it would do her some good and she can finally learn that one shouldn''t covet what''s not theirs.


    Back to the couple sitting in an ambiguous position in the office, Qie Ranzhe''s arms wound around Wen Qinxi''s waist with his thumbs massaging the man''s midriff. His nosey in the crevice of Wen Qinxi''s neck sniffing his scent which was surprisingly effective at soothing his anger.


    Wen Qinxi felt a tickly sensation where Qie Ranzhe''s warm breath brushed against his skin but because he was still irritable he just red at the culprit. When their eyes met Qie Ranzhe felt helpless as he raised his head.


    "I am sorry, baby. It''s all my fault. I should have handled it well," apologized Qie Ranzhe with his thumbs slightly pressing down on Wen Qinxi''s waist showing how tense he was. If there was ever a person who can keep him in check it would be this man over here.

 Chapter 552: Awwww

    Chapter 552: Aw


    "Yes, you should have," said Wen Qinxi before he stood up with a scowl in between his brows. He knew his own mouth very well so he decided to leave before he said


    something he would regret.


    A sense of panic set in making Qie Ranzhe stand up abruptly and grab Wen Qinxi''s wrist stopping him. "Don''t go..... please," said Qie Ranzhe turning into silly putty in an instant. No one else, not even his mother could make him feel this way all except this man who held so much power over him. His thumb soothingly caressed Wen Qinxi''s wrist.


    "Let me cool off first," said Wen Qinxi without looking at him. Qie Ranzhe reluctantly let him go and watched his disappearing back withplicated feelings.


    What Wen Qinxi described as cooling off was going to his apartment, change into hisfy onesie and PVP with whomever he could find online. He wasn''t especially good at games but when he was angry his online friends knew to stay clear of the arena.


    One such unfortunate victim was one of his former college mate who wandered into the arena without thinking. After being beaten senseless to the point of dropping a rank lower he said, "Seriously, why didn''t anyone warn me that he wasn''t in a good mood. Fuck..... I honestly thought I would be getting an easy win tonight when I epted this challenge."


    "When he''s angry it''s like he is using game cheats to win but he is such a noob when he isn''t. Weird right?" said another guy stirring clear of that arena.


    "It''s like his anger is his cheat. If I were you I would stay angry all the time so I can win an esports championship," said another one of his nerd friends.


    Wen Qinxi sighed as he checked his cellphone after finishing off the round. It was already past eight in the evening and that guy wasn''t back yet. He suddenly felt like he had been a little excessive earlier. It''s just the baby thing hit him so hard that he wanted to tear Zhao Huangzhi''s hair from its roots.


    Plus the sharing thing just got him so upset that he needed some time off but now that he had cooled down Qie Ranzhe still hadn''t shown his face. Wen Qinxi sighed as he leaned back in his seat contemting whether he should break the ice and call the man. He yfully flipped his cellphone as he looked down at it with a dazed look on his face.


    "Even sighing now, huh? How about you tell us bros what''s going on," suggested the one who had been beaten ruthlessly. Maybe if he smooths things over he could still rank up after beating the noob version of Wen Qinxi. This was a ssic example of doing what is right for selfish reasons.


    "Maybe our insight might solve your matters of the heart," said another of his online friends ready to indulge in some juicy gossip.


    Wen Qinxi''s smirked as he ced his cellphone on the table. "Haha what type of insight can you single dogs have?"


    Everyone, "..."


    "Whoo just back up for a second..."


    "This is what you get for being nice..."


    "What you mean single dog? My cat keeps mepany. Isn''t it right Mr Twiggles.....,"


    "Mrruh!..."


    "Ouch, the fuck. She scratched me..... damn it,"


    This was what was exactly transmitting through his headsets but he wasn''t listening. This is what was going on in his mind, "To dial or not to dial, that is the question."


    ''If he doesn''t call in the next five, no ten seconds then I will call him. Ten... nine... eight.... seveeennn... siiixxx..... fi,'' he counted in his brain when suddenly his cellphone buzzed. It wasn''t a phone call but it was better than nothing.


    DaddyRan: Come to the roof.


    That''s all the message said. No exnation whatsoever.


    Wen Qinxi sighed as he put on his coat and sneakers before walking out of the apartment. Qie Ranzhe''s apartment was on the top floor so it could only mean the roof was one floor up. He didn''t even bother to log out of the game dragging his feet out of the apartment.


    Looking at himself in the elevator mirror he especially felt grateful that they were on the top floor otherwise he would be so embarrassed if he was seen in a bunny onesie. The dinging sound of the elevator brought him out of his trance.


    The doors slowly opened and as he stepped out with his head down he stumbled upon a puzzle box with stars on it. His brows furrowed as he looked around the huge rooftop with a pool and a garden.


    "Qie Ranzhe!" he called out as he quickly figured out the puzzle box. "Why are you making me do this shit at this godforsaken hour?"


    The box opened with a click and he looked inside only to find a ring, a simple elegant ring with an inscription but because it was a little dark and he was half-blind he couldn''t see clearly.


    He was about to take a closer look when some of the lights suddenly turned on arranged into words Wen Qinxi could barely read as he had left his sses in the apartment.


    "It says you own my heart.....," said Qie Ranzhe who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.


    Wen Qinxi could see his blurry figure walking towards him.


    He could barely see but his heart was thumping so hard. "Wha, wha.... wha," said Wen Qinxi forgetting to breathe for a second.


    Qie Ranzhe walked over to him and his hand reached out to caress the side of Wen Qinxi''s face with pink bubbles floating all around them. "You own me and I would love it if you own me for the rest of our lives," said Qie Ranzhe as he ced a pair of sses over his lover''s eyes. The world suddenly became clearer and he could see what was written using fairy lights.


    "Oh shit!" swore Wen Qinxi before abruptly covering his mouth. He couldn''t help but feel emotional at this moment. Those fairy lights were like a beacon expressing Qie Ranzhe''s desire to marry him.


    Qie Ranzhe smiled foolishly as he went down on one knee and said, "I have been in love with you for years but stupidly kept my feelings to myself. Never in a million years would I have thought gship would happen and my sweet Gecko would be the one toe and save me....You sacrificed so much as you went through multiple lifetimes dealing with my stubbornness and weird imagination. For that, I am truly grateful to you and would love to spend this lifetime serving you, caring for you, pampering you and loving you that is if you will have me. Baby, I love you and I can''t imagine a life without you. So what I am saying is.... will you marry me?"

 Chapter 553: Proposal Gone Wrong

    Chapter 553: Proposal Gone Wrong


    Wen Qinxi was the very definition of a man falling deeper into the colourful abyss of love. Growing up he never thought about falling in love. He was always the nonchnt type with the motto if it happens it happens and if it doesn''t then that''s not the end of the world.


    In terms of marriage, he had thought about it but always believed if he didn''t fall in love he would find an easy to get along with girl and settle down. This was his attitude all these years that is until he met this man kneeling before him asking for his hand in marriage.


    He must have umted a lot of merits in his previous life for him to have captured this wonderful man''s heart. There were no words to describe how he was feeling right now. There was an overwhelming cocktail of emotions emanating from his heart and like an outbreak, they spread to the rest of his body resulting in that gorgeous smile on his face that reached his eyes.


    Of course, he was going to say yes but just as the words came out a sudden shout scared him so much that he jolted and identally fell into the pool with a loud ssh.


    Without a second thought, Qie Ranzhe took off his coat and dove in while the cause of this whole debacle ran to the edge of the pool. They were six people looking down into the pool with the majority of them holding their phones. They meant to record the romantic proposal but who would have thought it would end up as a failed romantic proposal instead.


    Wen Qinxi was feeling panicked as his body sank to the bottom of the ss pool which meant he drank a couple of mouthfuls of the icy cold water. Lucky for him he didn''t stay in the water for a long time as a powerful hand reached out to pull him up and embrace him as they swam to the surface.


    With a loud ssh, the two grown men surfaced with Wen Qinxi coughing out some of the water he drank. Qie Ranzhe pulled him out of the water and took off the coat he was wearing. With a sense of panic in his eyes, he asked, "Are you okay?" as Dai Lee handed him towels.


    Wen Qinxi coughed a bit with his body trembling from the cold. Qie Ranzhe didn''t waste any time carrying him in a princess carry to the apartment but as he reached out under the man''s knees, he heard him say, "Yes... yes, I will marry you," with his teeth chattering from the cold.


    Qie Ranzhe smiled and picked him up leaving behind the embarrassing jeers from their family members. While the two were in the bathroom together taking a warm bath to shake the cold off, the rest of the crew made themselves at home with Wen Danzhe and Shao Lan serving thedies some hot beverages.


    Wen Danzhe ced the tray on the table as he calmly endured his mother''s incessant scolding as he was the one who had scared Wen Qinxi earlier. They had been hiding in the bushes filming this beautiful moment only to have it ruined by Wen Danzhe.


    The fact that they were even allowed to be there and witness such a special thing was a miracle in itself. Qie Ranzhe had called his mother after Wen Qinxi left with an urgent request. Since her son rarely asked for anything she was interested. When the words jeweller, ring, proposal fell into her ear she almost fell off the couch.


    She put on her heels in a hurry and picked the fastest car in her garage before personally driving it. She wreaked havoc on the streets with her sports car and arrived at the jeweller faster than Qie Ranzhe. While she was excitedly picking options she was video calling Mama Wen which meant this is how her new friend found out about the proposal.


    That is to say, if Mama Wen knew about it then Wen Danzhe also knew about it which is how they ended up here. As for Dai Yu, she was at a spa getting her nails done when Qie Ranzhe called her asking for a favour. He needed a simple romantic proposal decor for the roof of his apartment and since she runs apany that specializes in that he asked for help.


    That''s how Dai Yu dragged Shao Lan along to hide in the bushes with everyone else and witness her stoic cousin propose. As for Machu, well he was the first to know because Qie Ranzhe called him before he decided to do this.


    In conclusion, this is how everyone in this apartment ended up here. "You know you could have killed your brother, right? He is like concrete in water, he sinks not floats," said Mama Wen wishing she could smack some sense into him.


    "I am a concrete b that''s because I want my sexy man to save me," said Dai Yu affectionately patting Shao Lan''s chest making Dai Lee want to cover them up with a sheet so she wouldn''t spoil her eyes. Indeed, the two of them turned for the worst that Dai Lee went and got a towel to cover them.


    They all had had enough of pink bubbles floating around. There is such a thing as too much dog food, you know. While everyone was awkwardly trying to avert their gazes from this lovey-dovey couple, another couple was fighting in the tub.


    Qie Ranzhe knew they had guests waiting for them but he wasn''t well behaved at all. He kept on touching ces that shouldn''t be touched and stroking this and that while calling out husband which exhausted the nerd so much.


    He just wanted to enjoy the ring on his finger and show it off to his family but Qie Ranzhe wouldn''t let him out of the bathroom. The man couldn''t even bathe in peace. One can only imagine how much worse Qie Ranzhe would be after marriage.


    When he finally let him leave the bedroom Qie Ranzhe stuck to him as though he had imprinted himself on him like a duckling right after breaking out of its shell. If he went to the kitchen, Qie Ranzhe would follow behind. He gave Dai Lee a helpless look but all she said was, "Well, he is your problem now," while sipping her tea like this was none of her business.


    Of course, this was none of her business that''s because her son was only that clingy to her when he was in the womb. After that, her son was like a miniature grown up in a tiny body.

 Chapter 554: Mental Breakdown or Love?

    Chapter 554: Mental Breakdown or Love?


    This clingy behaviour went on for a week though it wasn''t as severe as before. He stopped following a lot but he would casually send cute texts and pictures whenever they were apart.


    All of a sudden, the dinosaur who had no social media ounts created them and shared with the world that he was the happiest man alive.


    His WeChat moments were always filled with things like ''My handsome fiancee made me breakfast today #inlove'' followed by a picture. Sometimes it was random pictures of Wen Qinxi doing the most regr of things but he would proudly showcase his cutie so the world knows who he belongs to.


    This unusual behaviour had his entire circle shaken so much that they couldn''t help but wonder if Qie Ranzhe was having a mental breakdown. His family and its legacy had sunk overnight with most of the family members incarcerated. Though their rtionship was strained who wouldn''t have a mental breakdown after that, right?


    It was for this reason that theunching party of gship was packed with big yers of the elite ss. Most of them were here to catch sight of Qie Ranzhe and judge his mental capacity. Who knows, they might use this to their advantage.


    What they didn''t know was that Qie Ranzhe was sharper than ever. It was like the moment Wen Qinxi agreed to spend his entire life together with him he was finally whole. It was like a missing piece in his life was finally in ce.


    That is to say when he walked into the hotel conference room people could tell immediately that this wasn''t a mental breakdown rather it was an improved version of Qie Ranzhe. His face wasn''t as frighteningly stern as before. He still had an air of indifference about him but he seemed more approachable.


    They even had the opportunity to see a smile on Qie Ranzhe''s stone-cold face as he ushered the rumoured fiance onto the stage to introduce to the world this amazing technology.


    Wen Qinxi nned to expand gship research towards patients in aatose state to hopefully help them wake up from their physical, mental and spiritual prison. And as he exined the ins and outs of this innovative technology people could fairly understand why this CEO was smitten to the point of posting endlessly.


    It was for this change in Qie Ranzhe that some mistakenly thought it would be okay to approach Wen Qinxi at the banquet. One such person was Kai Zheng having forgotten his car was ttened like a pancake just a few weeks ago.


    He was genuinely interested in gship and wanted to delve deeper into how these fascinating gaming capsules worked but his interest extended a little further than that. Maybe it was Wen Qinxi''s intelligence or his personality but there was something about him that attracted this live streamer to this nerd.


    To be fair, Wen Qinxi was like a piece of juicy pork belly attracting flies with its tantalizing aroma only for the flies to be met by a thick ss shield creating a barrier between them.


    While Qie Ranzhe was discussing with his uncle, Dai Yu''s father, Kai Zheng took the opportunity to talk to Wen Qinxi only to be met by this horrifyingly tall bodyguard blocking his path. "Sorry sir, can I see your invitation?"


    "Uh..... um, here," he said taking it out but the giant''s face changed for the worst as he said,


    "This is a ticket for the introduction session. This banquet is by invitation only. Can you please leave the premises?


    Kai Zheng, "....."


    He couldn''t believe this. What was Qie Ranzhe so afraid of? He wouldn''t steal something that didn''t want to be stolen so why was the security tight around this man? Was he so insecure that he would guard Wen Qinxi like he was the Mona Lisa painting? Even that painting didn''t have a beast like patrol guard standing beside it all the time.


    Kai Zheng was about to say something when his shoulders were suddenly wrapped by his brother''s arm who decided to pull him away while apologizing. Kai Zi whispered through gritted teeth, "Don''t you fuckin dare start shit with him. I ain''t going to a fuckin mental hospital for you, do you hear me?"


    Kai Zheng who wasn''t in the loop didn''t know that the Qie and Zhao family''s fall wasn''t coincidental. One of them had the balls toy a hand on Wen Qinxi and the entire empire came tumbling down like Jenga and he, Kai Zi, was the instigator. He invited Qie Anzhie to act against Wen Qinxi and this happened.


    This is why he hurried over when he heard his stupid older brother hade over to theunch of gship. If that wolf was to catch his brother trying to flirt with Wen Qinxi then they might as well sell all their assets, take some cash and go on the run.


    What he didn''t know was that it was already toote. His brother had struck the matchstick and identally dropped it in a gasoline tank. As to the one who was about to be flirted with, he was busy drinking expensive champagne with zero awareness.


    He had been talking ceaselessly about gship all night that his throat felt dry. It was like trying to exin technology to kindergarteners who have no idea what is Bluetooth. He ended up having to exin the basic workings of a CPU first before going into detail about what gship was all about which was tiring and time-consuming.


    Wen Qinxi sat down at an isted part of the hall while watching Qie Ranzhe from a distance with a smile in his eyes. It seemed Qie Ranzhe felt his gaze because he turned around and made a kissing gesture with his lips before smiling gently.


    If he hadn''t had to bribe his uncle into giving him his private ind he would much prefer to be with his lover. Since it was a surprise he didn''t want to spoil it for Wen Qinxi so he had someone apany him.


    Wen Qinxi chuckled and both of them looked away a little bashful. It was then he felt a shadow towering over him as a rosy scent assaulted his senses. He raised his head only to find someone very familiar to him standing before him.


    "You know he traded a rare Sailor Luna card with me so that I could stay as far away from you as possible? Haha, you should have seen how jealous he was when he found out you liked me. Fun times, isn''t it? Anyway, it''s a pleasure to finally see you again."


    Hmm, I wonder who could this person be? Any guesses?

 Chapter 555: King Of Pettiness

    Chapter 555: King Of Pettiness


    Such an unexpected encounter took Wen Qinxi by surprise that the smile from earlier froze making him look like the joker after batman refused to acknowledge him. It was like a stiff face minus the makeup making Nu Shen grin with satisfaction.


    After seeing these two finally get together she couldn''t resisting over to stir up the ship. A little powerful wave wouldn''t hurt anyone, right?


    She brushed her long strands from her partially exposed cleavage grasping the attention of the men standing around. She was the very definition of a thirst trap with her red low cut silk dress and a slit that went all the way up to her thighs. What man in their right mind wouldn''t take a second nce?


    The years had been kind to her entuating her features into a proper young miss. Wen Qinxi had to admit she looked good but his eyesight wasn''t only half-blind but also blinded by the veil of love. This meant the only one in his eyes and the only one who could make him drool was the guy whose view Nu Shen was blocking.


    Nu Shen could clearly see his eyes trying to look over her but she didn''t move. "Miss Nu, it''s been a long time. It''s good to see you again," he said but from his posture, he looked like he was ready to make a break for it.


    "It''s been ages. How have you been? I see you are now a big shot even my dadplimented you. He also said that he wouldn''t mind a genius for a son inw at least then he would get an awesome employee at family prices," she said clearly starting something.


    "*Cough, *cough..... excuse me?" said Wen Qinxi as he choked on the ss of champagne.


    Nu Shen opened her clutch purse and took out some tissue while saying, "How old are you that you have to be this careless... Are you okay?" As she spoke these words, her hands weren''t honest. She reached out to wipe Wen Qinxi''s face. Coincidentally this little action caught Qie Ranzhe''s attention and sure enough, this vinegar jar almost exploded.


    The air suddenly became stifling with the intense smell of gunpowder filling the room. Uncle Dai felt a chill that ran through his bones as the expression on his nephew''s face darkened. Thinking he was upset about the ind thing he suddenly said, "Yo-you can take it. I can even change its ownership to your name just, just don''t be angry. You are scaring this old man."


    Ever since he was a kid Qie Ranzhe always kept to himself and as long as you didn''t start shit with him your life would be smooth but if you provoked him, it would be returned to you twofold.


    For instance, when Qie Ranzhe was seven, Dai Yu who was about the same age as well demanded that Qie Ranzhe y with her.


    Of course, Qie Ranzhe said no. He didn''t want to y the princess and the ve with this spoilt little girl. When he said no in the coldest of manner, Dai Yu wasn''t too pleased so she swept everything off Qie Ranzhe''s desk breaking his figurines in the process.


    Dai Yu was made to apologize and on top of that got spanked by her mother. You would think things would end there, right? Wrong! Two monthster Dai Yu came back from shopping and found all her barbie dolls were missing heads even Barbie Ken wasn''t spared.


    They had to negotiate with a seven-year-old to return the heads and when he finally agreed they were given a treasure map to find the missing heads.


    If this isn''t being petty then what is? Everyone in the family knows this ancestor is well-deserving of the title King of the kingdom of pettiness without a doubt. The only reason he didn''t quickly agree to the Ind thing was that he wanted the painting in Qie Ranzhe''s office and what better time was there to hustle him for it than now when he was knee-deep in the bliss of love.


    Who would have thought his nephew would turn into a demon in human skin? Those eyes were cutting straight into his soul so he yielded. What he didn''t realise was that his nephew wasn''t looking at him but looking past him which led to this misunderstanding. He was about to calm him down like an FBI negotiator in a hostage situation when Qie Ranzhe just walked away in steady but gut-wrenching footsteps.


    When he turned to see where his nephew was going he saw his new inw being taken advantage of by a girl in a red dress. "Well, the king of pettynd won''t let that go," he mumbled while wiping off the cold sweat on his forehead.


    Nu Shen''s slender wrist was suddenly held before it was flung like he just touched something dirty. The meaning seemed clear enough but to Wen Qinxi it yed like a fight between a couple in a dog blood drama. That''s because he had watched too many of them in gship courtesy of that vile system, Jolie.


    Qie Ranzhe suddenly pulled him up and held him by the waist in a possessive manner establishing his territory.


    His death re remained on Nu Shen scaring the shit out of her. How could she have forgotten this CEO''s feisty temper? There is one thing she forgot that is in this world there are such people one should never prank and this beast right here was one such person.


    She wasn''t calm at all but she faked it and carried on speaking. Qie Ranzhe was about to drag Wen Qinxi away when she said, "Ah Mr Qie, you misunderstand me. I only came to congratte you and nothing else. Trust me, no one in their right minds has the balls to rob you so rx."


    Nu Shen pulled back her hair once more and continued, "I hope his words were as sweet as the ones in the confession letter he wrote for me in high school.... and yes I read it before you confiscated it from my desk."


    Wen Qinxi, "....."


    The busted Qie Ranzhe, "....."


    Wen Qinxi looked up at him in confusion before his expression abruptly changed to an "oh shit" type of look. This vinegar jar not only stole his love letter but also thought Nu Shen didn''t see it.


    "Lucky for you I kept this little secret for years. That''s because I valued Sailor Luna more than this cute nerd," she said feeling satisfied with Qie Ranzhe''s reaction.


    "Did you do that?" asked Wen Qinxi with a hint of curiosity.


    Nu Shen folded her arms across her chest and said, "Not only that but I also heard you two," as she picked up a ss of champagne from the waiter passing by, "shared a tent at the year-end camping trip but one of you wasn''t aware of it. She took a sip before saying, "Yep, your boyfriend is a pervert..... the hardcore kind."


    Wen Qinxi, ''WTF.''


    He had finally realized something. It seemed Qie Ranzhe was all over him in high school so how dense was he that he didn''t see any of this? They even shared a tent for two days straight but he had no idea.

 Chapter 556: Mile High Club

    Chapter 556: Mile High Club


    "Wait, wait... is that why the club president gave me dirty stares and almost kicked me out of the club?" he asked with the CEO avoiding his gaze like the gue. How he hated Nu Shen right now.


    He pressed his lips into a thin line as he responded, "Mn," while slightly tightening his hold on Wen Qinxi''s waist.


    ''Please don''t be mad,'' was clearly written on his face while the only word bouncing around in Wen Qinxi''s mind was, ''pervert, pervert, pervertttt!''


    "Isn''t this ending great? At least I got to be a part of the decade-old romance with a happy ending. Anyway, I wish you a happy life together and here, take this," she said handing a business card to Qie Ranzhe, "You will thank meter."


    Qie Ranzhe looked at the business card and instantly understood Nu Shen''s meaning. He swore if she didn''t give him this piece of treasure she would be next on the guillotine right behind the Kai brothers.


    "Pervert," mumbled Wen Qinxi bringing Qie Ranzhe back to earth. The nerd detached himself from Qie Ranzhe''s clutches and ambled away. He wasn''t angry at all, in fact, he thought it was kinda of cute though he was curious what happened in that tent. Knowing Qie Ranzhe''s appetite for ahem... how did he survive two nights without being harassed?


    Qie Ranzhe ran after him and tried to coax not forgetting to be selfish in the process. "That letter was really heartwarming..... can baby write me one so I can frame it and put it in the office. Better yet I can post it," he said intertwining their fingers together.


    "No, we aren''t going to talk about that. What we are going to talk about is what happened in that tent," said Wen Qinxi pretending to be angry.


    "Sleeping..."


    "Sleeping?...,"


    Qie Ranzhe, "Yep, sleeping..."


    Wen Qinxi, "So you are telling me a hormonal teenager like you just slept with your crush next to you and you did nothing else except sleep? Really?"


    "Yep, just sleeping nothing else... wait, why do you sound disappointed? Did you want me to...," said Qie Ranzhe with a smirk on his face.


    Wen Qinxi shook his head and emphasized, "No... no.... no," with the pitch of the ''no'' going higher.


    "How about this," said Qie Ranzhe draping his arms around Wen Qinxi''s shoulders before leaning in, "daddy takes you camping in my mother''s backyard and I do what I should have done to you in that tent in high school, satisfaction guaranteed?"


    This offer was tempting enough to grasp Wen Qinxi''s attention so much so that he seductively bit his lower lip while imagining it.


    Qie Ranzhe noticed this lewd behaviour and couldn''t help asking, "What did you just think about?


    An evil glint shed in Wen Qinxi''s eyes as a devious smile crept up his face. He beckoned Qie Ranzhe over and whispered into his ear, "I imagined you lying beneath me as I ride your dick like a cowgirl underneath the moonlight till you call out my name over... and over... and over again," with his warm breath brushing against Qie Ranzhe''s skin making him stop breathing for a second.


    Is it just me or did the temperature just shoot off the roof?


    Qie Ranzhe wasn''t vinated against Wen Qinxi''s dirty talk so much so that he felt something grow below his belt. "Baby, let''s go home otherwise I will be pitching a different kind of tent any second now."


    Wen Qinxi wasn''t expecting his amateurish dirty talk to wake up a sleeping giant so he guiltily asked, "What about the banquet?"


    "They have plenty of liquor so they will be fine," he said dragging his lover out the door.


    Everyone who had just been overdosed on dog food, "....."


    "Ahem... my nephew had some urgent business to attend to so everyone please enjoy yourselves," exined Uncle Dai who had just witnessed his nephew flirt with his fiancee in public.


    Urgent business? More like urgent bedroom matters. As a stallion, he had a big responsibility that is to take care of his baby''s needs. To be frank, these two didn''t even make it out of the underground parking.


    Thankfully the windows were tinted and the car was sturdy enough otherwise someone would have caught them half-naked fondling each other. Once they were done they were panting heavily with mist covering the windows. Qie Ranzhey on top of Wen Qinxi kissing his corbone with the ne with a key attached to it getting in his way.


    Wen Qinxi traced Qie Ranzhe''s tattoo with his fingers as hezily enjoyed the rain of kisses. "I will write you one for our wedding, how is that?" suggested Wen Qinxi with his fingers caressing up till they were in Qie Ranzhe''s soft hair.


    Qie Ranzhe''s lips tilted upwards as his warm lips slowly kissed up to his ear with a ck stud. "I would love that," whispered Qie Ranzhe effectively stirring up the just calm waters again.


    It was this promise that had Qie Ranzhe excitedly nning a surprise wedding ceremony with his family and inws. Wen Qinxi waspletely in the dark all this time. He had no idea what everyone was up to behind his back.


    Two weekster, Qie Ranzhe said to him they had to go to a convention for innovative technology so they got onto a private jet overnight. For the entire flight, Wen Qinxi was nagging him about the love confession letter so he wrote a draft while asionallyining.


    "We aren''t getting married soon so what''s your problem?" he said but he still wrote it and even tried to read his rough draft aloud.


    Qie Ranzhe closed his ears and said, "No spoilers," while avoiding Wen Qinxi who was right in his face with a sly grin. The flight attendant got to witness Wen Qinxi sitting on Qie Ranzhe''sp while harassing him with a piece of paper. She couldn''t help but giggle at the awkward posture they were in. Her fujoshi heart was satisfied in that ten-hour flight.


    Wen Qinxi kept teasing Qie Ranzhe till the CEO said something that had his chrysanthemum tighten in self-defence. One might wonder what exactly he said? Well, let me not leave you in suspense. He said, "Baby, let''s join the mile high club."


    Wen Qinxi, "..."


    "Fuck me," mumbled Wen Qinxi getting off hisp like his ass was on fire.


    "dly," replied Qie Ranzhe grabbing his boyfriend who wanted to escape, "where on earth do you think you are going?"


    Wen Qinxi should have seen iting. This was the same man who persuaded him to have sex on the beach so what would stop him from suggesting the mile high club. He had to admit he was a little interested though he would never easily admit it.


    All it took was a little coaxing and with only the two of them in the cabin of the private jet, they attained their membership for the exclusive club. It''s a good thing a freak like Qie Ranzhe fell in love with an open-minded Gecko otherwise he might have been dumped ages ago.

 Chapter 557: Surprise Wedding

    Chapter 557: Surprise Wedding


    Life is a blessing and we only have one of it. In this life, we have plenty of challenges and heartbreaking events that we at times feel like we won''t be able to move on from but as long as we have the ones we love right beside us it makes it all worth it.


    One of life''s gifts is finding someone you can share the rest of your life with, someone who will be there for you through thick and thin and love you for who you are not what you have.


    Qie Ranzhe had found such a person who was currently lying in his arms. He wanted nothing more but to spend the rest of his life with this man and no one else. As hey on the bed his gaze lingered on Wen Qinxi with a hard to describe smile on his face.


    They had arrived at his uncle''s vi on the ind around 10pm. Wen Qinxi could have noticed something was off but because it was dark and he was half asleep when theynded he didn''t realise that something was fishy. Qie Ranzhe still hadn''t disclosed that by the end of the day tomorrow they would be married.


    Maybe it was because he wanted to surprise him at thest moment or he was scared to tell him that he couldn''t wait to be married and nned all of this behind his back. He knew Wen Qinxi wanted to marry him. It was just a matter of when but he couldn''t help but fear that he would be rejected.


    He nted a gentle kiss on Wen Qinxi''s soft lips before silently preparing for tomorrow morning. That is to say when Wen Qinxi woke up he found himself alone in bed. He scratched his dishevelled head of hair while looking for his phone but no matter how hard he tried he couldn''t find it.


    Wen Qinxizily got off the bed and put on his slippers. Yawning while scratching his belly he walked to the bathroom but just as he entered he caught something in his peripheral view. He took a step back and craned his neck to see a reflection of something in the walk-in closet.


    He cautiously entered only to find a range of slim fit suits hung on a rail, a bouquet of 99 red roses, a ck box and an envelope. Wen Qinxi didn''t know what this guy was up to again but he was surely interested.


    He opened the envelope and remembered he didn''t have his contacts on. He took his sses from the pedestal and read the note while walking back to the walk-in closet. Midway his steps paused as he held his breath. His fingers slightly trembled causing the note to shake.


    The words were simple and straightforward. "99 roses mean that I will love you till I die. I will keep my promise to you and if you want to be my husband today and move on to the next chapter in our lives then meet me downstairs at 11 am. I will be waiting."


    One might assume that he would be upset about being blindsided but Wen Qinxi was a simple-minded person. He loved this man and they were already engaged so what was there to wait for? This was his exact thinking. If he could drag Qie Ranzhe to the marriage registration office by the ear he would.


    Now that Qie Ranzhe had jumped the gun and went ahead of him, he couldn''t contain his joy. He opened the box only to find an expensive watch with ck leather straps and brown stitching. It looked like something that would weigh heavy on his wrist but his attention was on the initials engraved on the case back. ''QIRAN'' was what was engraved on it with an infinite symbol underneath it.


    Wen Qinxi smiled while biting his lower lip. "Cheesy," he mumbled but the smile on his face could reach the heavens. He put everything down and went to take a shower. He was really grateful that his hair had a fresh new cut otherwise he would look shabby at his wedding. Come to think of it, it was Qie Ranzhe who insisted on having a haircut with him. "Damn it, I got yed," he said as he pushed back his hair standing in front of the mirror.


    Just as he walked out of the bathroom the bedroom door was knocked once then opened. Thinking it was his future husband he unconsciously put on a warm smile only to find out it was his mother and brother.


    "Ma!" he yelled tightening the knot on his towel with a WTF expression.


    Mama Wen didn''t seem fazed by it walking in like there was nothing special to see. "What are you worried about, huh? I carried you for nine months and bathed you till you were seven," she said cing the coffee in his hand, "Besides we brought you breakfast."


    Wen Qinxi ced the coffee cup on the pedestal before rushing to look for a bathrobe and cover himself up. It wasn''t only the tattoo that he was hiding but also the ton of hickeys that stubborn husky left on him. Unfortunately for him, Mama Wen had already seen it.


    "What the... Argh. You, you had a tattoo?" she said while covering her mouth in surprise, "You are afraid of pain and you..... how?"


    Wen Danzhe threw himself on thefortable bed and said, "Not when he is drunk. If I hadn''t stopped him he would have had it on his thigh... Ouch!" when a pillow was thrown at him to shut him up.


    "You two should take it easy... what kind of games are you ying in between the sheets till you have so many hickeys?" asked Mama Wen purely out of concern.


    "Haha he looks like a fuckin poker dot," said Wen Danzheughing his ass off in amusement.


    Mama Wen also hit him with a pillow and said, "You are the one to talk when you are still single... Oh, by the way, do you remember that cute guy from the airport? I got his WeChat business card if you are interested."


    Wen Danzhe stared at her nkly before saying, "He is a boy!"


    "Yes, I am well aware of it so...," she said as Wen Qinxi slipped into the walk-in closet before silently closing the door. This conversation was none of his business.


    "No, I like girls," he said with his gaze moving to the door. He was probably thinking of running away before his mother says something cringy.


    Mama Wen rubbed her chin and said thoughtfully, "I get that but how do you know you won''t like a boy if you have never tried it. Even Dr Machu is single.... wah, I am going to match you two up. This is exciting."


    "God no, that''s not happening. Dage save me!"


    "Don''t bring god into this. Even he can''t save you.... hahaha," said Mama Wen teasing her youngest son to her heart''s content. Wen Danzhe just wished he could dig a hole on the ground and bury himself.


    Lucky for him his older brother still cared. He came out of the closet in time to stop his mother''s stray conversation. He was dressed in good-fitting ck pants and a white long-sleeved slim fit shirt and a white suit with a ckpel. Paired up with ck formal shoes he looked like a revamped version of Wen Qinxi.


    He looked so handsome that his mother almost cried while taking out her cellphone to take pictures of her dashing son all dressed up like a penguin.

 Chapter 558: Baby Lin Lin

    Chapter 558: Baby Lin Lin


    She had Wen Danzhe quickly set up for the hairbing ceremony while Wen Qinxi was still in a good mood. Before he knew it, Wen Qinxi was sitting in front of a mirror with his mother reciting,


    "May you be together all your lives from beginning till the end,"


    "May you have a harmonious intimate marriage till old age,"


    "May you fill your home with your children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren all over the ce,"


    "May you enjoy abundant wealth and an evesting marriage."


    These words resonated with Wen Qinxi as he walked out of the vi towards the garden. There was a lot of things going on but his mind was on that one person. He went where they told him to go, did what they told him to do which he did absentmindedly because all he was thinking about was Qie Ranzhe.


    And when he finally saw him patiently waiting for him in front Wen Qinxi broke into a radiant smile with a tear streaming down his cheek. He was so happy that he didn''t notice he was crying.


    He could hear the few family members eximing at the sweet moment but it was all background noise to him. In this space, it was only him and Qie Ranzhe, no one else.


    Mama Wen was the one who had to wipe his tear before nudging him forward. Wen Qinxi was trembling from excitement and wanted to break into a run and just embrace the man but he managed to control his emotions and exhaled deeply with each step.


    Qie Ranzhe wasn''t calm either. He was as nervous as Wen Qinxi it''s just that he hid it well. With two of them standing in front of their closest family members they bowed to heaven and earth, showed respect to their elders and bowed to each other unlocking a new chapter in their lives together.


    This was a beautiful ending to a beautiful story of two men''s long journey to find love. In his excitement, Wen Qinxi forgot the letter he promised Qie Ranzhe. One would think that Qie Ranzhe would let it go, right? Wrong!


    The guy brought it up in the modified version of the bridal chamber. At his question, Wen Qinxi loosened his bow tie andined, "Seriously, you are going to hold it against me on our wedding night? Fine, just don''t regret it."


    He took the piece of paper from hisptop bag and cleared his throat with a sly smile on his face. Qie Ranzhe walked over and wrapped his arms around Wen Qinxi''s waist reading along with him.


    "To my sweetheart,


    I don''t know how else to express my feelings for you without embarrassing myself so please bear with me.


    My feelings for you weren''t love at first sight. In fact, throughout high school, you were an unattainable piece of jade with a hot temper which meant I stayed as far away as possible from you. Never once in my life did I ever think you and I could or would be a thing.


    I was so convinced of it even when I heard the rumours flying around in the office that you and I had something going on between us. At the time I imagined you had a line of beautifuldies ready to serve you so why on earth would anyone think we had something going on.


    That is until gship happened and I fell in love with you by the second world. I sincerely believed I could hold back and only love you in the game but I was wrong. When I came out of gship, I knew I wouldn''t be able to keep my promise.


    When I thought you kissed someone else I broke down but it made me realise that my love for you went beyond gship.


    So what I am trying to say is that l love you. I love the way you seriously study a microwave manual just so you can warm up food for me. I love how you hold my waist and show the entire world that I belong to you. I love the way you look at me like I am the only person in the world.


    I love everything about you and I can''t wait to spend the rest of my life with you.


    Love you always."


    This nerd might have been embarrassed reading out his letter to Qie Ranzhe but this CEO was so smitten that he couldn''t help but kiss his lover till he was breathless.


    "I love you too," was what Qie Ranzhe whispered into his ear as he caught his breath, "And I will love you till the end."


    The End...


    Three yearster.


    The office door was pushed open startling Wen Qinxi so much that he almost bit his tongue.


    "What are you doing?" asked Qie Ranzhe looking at him suspiciously.


    Wen Qinxi closed hisptop and said, "Nothing, nothing...," with his gaze shifty like a guilty person. No, he wasn''t watching porn nor was he chatting with random people online. Their rtionship was stronger than ever but Wen Qinxi had developed a new obsession which was incredibly worrying.


    He had created an AI simr to Qie Xieling both in appearance and character which was very concerning. It was, for this reason, Qie Ranzhe decided to take out the business card Nu Shen gave to him at theunch of gship.


    It was her uncle''s number, a gic engineer specialising in unconventional research. He had managed the impossible and produced children from same-sex partners but because his research was expensive people rarely sought him out. Seeing how his partner wanted a kid of their own, he decided to give this Frankenstein a call. He could have gone the surrogate route or adopted which he had no problem with but Wen Qinxi was obsessed with the idea of adding a Qie Xieling into their lives.


    Unwilling to have an AI for a son he got in contact with Prof Nu and today it wasthe day to pick up the baby which was meant to surprise Wen Qinxi.


    "Come... I want to show you someone," said Qie Ranzhe before pulling Wen Qinxi out of the room.


    Wen Qinxi let Qie Ranzhe drag him along and blindfold him as they drove out of GameX. He had no idea where they were going but he couldn''t help but get excited.


    When they walked into the private ward, Wen Qinxi could smell the faint scent of disinfectant so he became concerned.


    "Are we in a hospital? Are you hurt? " he asked frisking Qie Ranzhe underneath his shirt.


    "Baby,... no not in front of the baby," said Qie Ranzhe causing Wen Qinxi to quickly remove the blindfold with a scowl on his face. But his brow raised when he saw the munchkin in the baby hospital crib.


    "That''s..... he," pointed Wen Qinxi with his heart beating so fast, "Aw, it''s Lin Lin. How?"


    He asked when a document was ced in his hand by Qie Ranzhe who was wearing a praise me look. Wen Qinxi read it and couldn''t help but be gobsmacked, "Is that why you kept taking my...?"


    Qie Ranzhe,"Mn."


    "And the secret house project? Is it because....?"
