Recap
The scene in front of him changed rapidly, and Chu Shici saw Xunzhe purse his lips tightly, and the tears that had been swirling in his eyes suddenly fell down.
At the same time, a prompt sound came from the system background.
[The vitality value is reduced by 1, and the current vitality value is 7 points.]
[Vitality value is reduced by 1.]
[Vitality value is reduced by 1.]
Chu Shici:…
“Ge, calm down, I can still be saved. Don’t cry yet, help me put my head on it. I’m going to vomit from rolling around!”
After pressing his head back on, Chu Shici began to coax Xunzhe.
At any rate, he has led three male leads, and no one knows how to coax Zhe-ge better than him.
Xunzhe just couldn’t bear the visual impact, in addition, he is also injured, so he easily cried when he was aggitated.
In fact, it can be said that he is “shocked into crying by a friend’s tragic situation”, so he is very easy to coax.
Chu Shici didn’t say anything, just hug his pale and bloodless fingers and look up at him in admiration.
The two look at each other for a long time, before he says seriously: “I knew you would come to save me, Ge, you are so powerful, I feel at ease with you.”
After saying this, Chu Shici rubs his head against Xunzhe’s fingertips and shows a bright smile, conveying his trust and dependence on him.
A blush spread across Xunzhe’s cheeks at a speed visible to the naked eye. He turns away and hums coldly.
The vitality value, which had been declining, began to increase slowly.
The system looks over to watch. The little monk is lying in Xunzhe’s hand and rolling around, saying that he admires Xunzhe very much and wants to be his younger brother.
Xunzhe didn’t give his reply, but his vitality jumped up two more points, finally stopping at 15 points.
Looking at Chu Shici who is pretending to be stupid, the system laughed and teased: [I remember when I first met you, you didn’t know how to act pitiful, and you couldn’t show dependence like how little birds would show their dependence. How come after hundreds of years, not only have you not become more mature, but your skills have become more proficient?]
‘He taught me. Go find him.’
The system feels that the CP it knocks on is magical.
Chu Shici was originally able to carry everything by himself, his vitality level was almost 0, yet he could still comfort the male protagonist with a smile. Now, after he was wronged, he will immediately curse and ask Zhe-ge for support.
His husband, too, was originally the type to take on the world by himself. But after meeting Chu Shici, whenever he feels a little sad, someone will hug him and comfort him.
After he realized that babies who cry will be fed milk, the originally fierce 1 has since become an enhanced version of a crybaby.
The system took a photo and thought to itself that these two look really good when they cry, especially when they cry together.
After coaxing Xunzhe, Chu Shici turns over and jumps to the ground, and begins to study the golden statue.
The light in the room is dim and things can not be seen clearly.
He runs over and pushes open the wooden door, and the cold moonlight enters the cave, illuminating the snake yao in the darkness.
Only now can Chu Shici see that Xunzhe’s upper body is clearly covered with bruises and blood, and the snake’s tail has a chunk of flesh missing from being bitten off by Lady Dayangtian.
Looking at the blood-stained snake scales scattered on the ground, Chu Shici’s breathing stopped for a moment.
He suppresses the urge to curse, and touch the bloody snake tail distressingly: “Ge, you are seriously injured. There is so much blood, why are you so calm? Wait here, I’ll go down the mountain and get you some medicine from a clinic.”
He turned to leave, but was caught back again.
Xunzhe lowered his head and casually glanced at the scars on his body, picked up the little lotus and put it in the little monk’s hand, took the golden statue and headed straight out of the cave.
He hadn’t seen the outside world for five hundred years, he closed his eyes and bathed in the moonlight, enjoying the long-lost freedom.
[Add 10 points to the vitality value, and the current vitality value is 25.]
Chu Shici knew that when the white snake was exposed to the sun tomorrow, its vitality would increase significantly.
But now he was only worried about Xunzhe and couldn’t be happy at all.
The snake yao’s skin is very pale, making the bruises all over his body look even more hideous and terrifying.
Lady Dayangtian mainly attacked his tail, so the wound on his upper body should be the result of trying to break the seal.
Chu Shici clamor to steal the medicine for him, but Xunzhe didn’t respond, just grabbed him and sneaked into the woods.
Although more than five hundred years have passed, this mountain forest is still the same as Xunzhe remembered.
He climbed back to his lair with ease, flicked his tail and slapped away all the bears inside.
Flies are everywhere in the house, animal droppings and rotting meat are left on the ground.
Xunzhe scanned the place and frowned in disgust.
He tried to clean it up with a spell, but there was something in his hands.
The little monk was still chattering and urging him to deal with the wound quickly, his eyes were red with anxiety, and there was a cry in his voice.
Xunzhe had never been cared about so much before, and the tips of his ears were slightly red.
He casually put the statue of Lady Dayangtian aside, tapped the little monk’s mouth with his fingertips, signaling him to be quiet.
When the little thing finally became quiet, Xunzhe looked around, but couldn’t find a suitable place. He thought for a while, and put the little monk on top of his head.
Finally freeing his hands, he quickly made a gesture and began to use the spell to clear up the area.
Chu Shici grabbed his silver-white hair and sat on top of Xunzhe’s head, watching him tidy up the lair.
Zhe-ge seems to have a special habit. He will, in every world, put him on his head without fail. Hence, Chu Shici knows that the snake yao will let him go on top sooner or later.
After Xunzhe finished cleaning, he pointed to a large stone slab not far away, “This is my home, and that is my bed. You can sleep on the small stone next to it in the future.”
His tone is very flat, but Chu Shici can tell that he is very happy now.
He endured and endured, but still couldn’t help but asked with concern: “Ge, doesn’t your wound hurt? Why don’t we treat the injury first, and then think about other things, okay?”
Xunzhe seemed to be unable to hear what he said, and began to introduce other places, “There is a box over there, and there are some gold and silver jewels in it, which are the tolls given to me by a few mouse yaos. If you like, you can take it away.”
“Ge, your tail is still bleeding.”
“I remember a fox yao who claimed to be a literati* and left me some calligraphy and paintings.”
*(educated class)
“…Ge, do you know spells like healing?”
Xunzhe was silent for a moment, “Only plants, flowers and wood spirits are able to use healing techniques.”
He paused, then added expressionlessly, “Other snake yaos can’t do it as well.”
Chu Shici’s eyes lit up, “My prototype is a wood carving monk, am I considered a wood spirit? Can I learn healing techniques?”
“Yes. But you’ll need to cultivate for at least one hundred years.”
Chu Shici stops thinking about it and continues to ask him to go down the mountain to heal his injuries.
But no matter what he said, Xunzhe didn’t respond, as if he was deliberately avoiding the topic.
A hole was made by the white snake on the top of the cave, and the moonlight could shine in just right.
Xunzhe transformed into a snake, lay down on the stone slab and began to take a nap.
Seeing his injuries, Chu Shici stomped his feet anxiously, “It’s too remote to have a veterinary hospital, but there are still clinics. You can go in in human form and let the doctors treat you. Don’t you have a box of gold, silver and jewelry? We can find a villager and exchange it for money.”
The white snake’s wound is still bleeding, so Chu Shici climb up on the stone slab and push the white snake, “Ge, let’s go and see the doctor first.”
The White Snake turned his head to the side, and the man’s cold voice sounded in the cave, “I am a yao. If I’m exposed to the moonlight for a few days, the wounds will heal on their own.”
“How long will that take?”
“Ten days.”
Chu Shici’s heart that had just calmed down is racing again.
He is only the size of a palm, and he can’t pull the white snake down the mountains at all.
Seeing that the wound on the snake’s tail is still bleeding, Chu Shici yells at him in a tearful voice: “You’re hurt to this extent and you still don’t want to see a doctor? Isn’t it painful?”
Xunzhe is determined to stay here, curled up and motionless.
Chu Shici crouches next to him and wipes away his tears anxiously. The system struggled for a while between appreciating the beauty’s tears and coaxing his brother, finally, it put down the camera and persuaded him, [It’s okay, Zhe-ge knows what he is doing.]
‘Bullshit! As soon as I mention going down the mountain to see a doctor, he begins to pretend to be dead. I figured it out. It isn’t that he doesn’t care about the wound, he simply doesn’t want to go down the mountain!’
[Could it be that after he was tricked by someone before, which caused a psychological shadow?]
‘The kind of person he is, don’t I know best? He doesn’t spend enough time with me to confide in me. He is definitely angry about that, but he wouldn’t avoid going down the mountain solely because of it. He is hiding something from me, and now I’m very scared.’
The system is a little confused, [Are you afraid that he will die from excessive blood loss?]
Chu Shici buried his head, “I know it’s not good to say this, but when I came into this world, I felt like something was missing.”
[?]
‘Su Zheyan was a beta, being targeted by an alpha. Mingzhe was a child and was targeted by pedophiles online. In the previous world, Gu Yunzhe was a modified human and was almost sent to be insulted and violated.’
[Fuck, I almost forgot. These worlds are his punishments.]
Chu Shici’s mind is in a mess now.
It’s a good thing that they haven’t met anyone who plots against Xunzhe after coming here for so long.
He is secretly happy when he thought of this matter yesterday. Thinking that the punishments in this world are already over and that Zhe-ge doesn’t have to suffer anymore.
But Xunzhe’s current resistance makes Chu Shici anxious.
Seeing that his face turned pale from crying, the system comforted him with chocolates, [Don’t worry, he is written as the strongest character in the original text. No one can force him to do what he doesn’t want to. You see, Lady Dayangtian is a great example. She almost lost her life when she had a face-to-face meeting with the hero. Don’t cry, don’t cry, eat some chocolates.]
Chu Shici cried anxiously at first, but now he was just angry.
‘You don’t have to get physical to drive a person insane. I used to fight very hard before I died. I sent those gangsters to the hospital. But what they said was very dirty, which made me feel very inferior. I really felt like I was seducing others on purpose. For a while, I didn’t dare to go out at night, and I walked with my body hunched over and my head bowed.’
Now that the scars have healed, Chu Shici can face the past calmly.
He raise his middle finger to that painful memory and said, ‘Fuck, you’re a bunch of scum. You didn’t trample your Grandpa to death, your Grandpa is reborn.’
But this is a psychological change that only occurred after his vitality value exceeded 80, while Xunzhe only has 25 points.
Although he had not suffered any substantive violation, Chu Shici was still overwhelmed.
He has experienced this kind of pain, and he doesn’t want Zhe-ge to experience it too.
The white snake, who was curled up basking in the moonlight, faintly heard a small cry.
He lowered his head and look at the little monk huddled beside him before transforming into his half-human form and picking him up.
The little monk’s eyes are red and there are still tears on his face.
While wiping away his tears, he choked out a question, “Ge, why are you unwilling to go down the mountain? Did something happen to you down the mountains?”
Chu Shici observes the man’s expression, not missing any detail.
After he finished asking, Xunzhe’s face still showed no emotion, but his lips pursed subconsciously.
Chu Shici has always been with Zhe-ge and is familiar with his every microexpression.
Seeing that Xunzhe didn’t respond, he didn’t ask any more questions.
He knows that he might be right.
Chu Shici hug Xunzhe’s fingers and give him a comforting smile, “Ge, it’s okay. No matter if those people were mean to you because of your appearance or because of your identity as a snake yao, now five hundred years have passed, the grass on those people’s graves is two meters high.”
“Those trash have a hole in their brains and they are the ones who have problems with their thinking. Don’t let those trash affect your mood. If you are not happy, we will go down the mountain. Find their graves, dig their bones out and throw them into the toilet, so that they can recognize their ancestors.”
The corners of Xunzhe’s mouth rise and he shows a slightly sarcastic smile, but this time he is not laughing at Chu Shici.
Looking at the little monk cursing in his hand, he raised his eyebrows slightly and said, “You are a monk carved from wood. Your body is stained with Buddha’s aura, and you also manifested a lotus platform and Buddha Light. Why can’t I see the slightest trace of a monk in you?”
Chu Shici was still cursing people who had been dead for hundreds of years. Seeing that Xunzhe seems to be in a better mood, he pretended to clasp his hands together and said, “Because this monk has returned to secular life.”
Xunzhe gently poked the little monk’s head, “You have just cultivated a spirit and you’ve already returned to secular life.”
The little monk raise his head and said, “A monk needs to overcome mortal desires. But I don’t have enough determination, so I went ahead and fell in love with a snake yao at first sight. The Buddha won’t want me, so of course I have to return to secular life. I can’t be a monk anymore. Ge, can you want me please?”
As his words fell, the cave fell silent.
The little monk was wearing monk’s robes and carrying mala beads. The cold moonlight fell in from the gap at the top and shone on him, giving him the appearance of being surrounded by a layer of holy light.
Xunzhe’s slightly relaxed brows knitted together again, and he avoided the little monk’s gaze. Neither agreeing nor refusing and just pretended not to hear anything.
Chu Shici knows that he is impatient, so he didn’t push the matter and took the initiative to skip the topic.
“Five hundred years have passed, and there have been massive changes at the foot of the mountain. The pilgrims spoke of a lot of new things, and I really want to see them. I’m just a little wood spirit so I don’t dare to go alone and hope you’ll accompany me. Then after we pass by the clinic, we can take a look. How about seeing a doctor along the way?”
When it came to going down the mountain, Xunzhe shook his tail, which involved the wound bitten by the Lady Dayangtian. His fingers trembled slightly, and his face became even paler.
Seeing this, Chu Shici gently touched his cold fingers and said, “Pilgrims don’t bring food with them recently. It’s been a long time since I’ve had good food. Ge, you’re a good fighter, and can even change into a human form. I can only depend on you. You are the best, Ge.”
Xunzhe is silent for a long time before suddenly lying back on the stone slab again. Holding the little monk in his hands, he close his eyes and say coldly: “Go to bed early.”
The system watched for a while and asked curiously, [Is he consenting?]
Before it finished speaking, a prompt sounded in the background, [Vitality value increased by 3, current vitality value is 28.]
He seems to have agreed.
Chu Shici lie on Xunzhe’s chest and pick at the tiny snake scales on his body.
‘I plan to have his wound bandaged first, as bleeding all the time is not an option. Wait until his wound is treated then we can see how much time is left. If we have enough time, I want to go back to Dayangtian Ming Temple first. I remember that before leaving, a policeman mentioned that there should be a problem under the altar table.’
‘If we don’t have much time left, we won’t investigate the altar table yet. Find the young monk from before and get the booklet that records all the delivery timings from him. That scumbag will try to snatch the fetus’ body at eleven o’clock tomorrow night. I don’t like him and I want to kill him.’
After working with Chu Shici for so long, the system also has some understanding of the host’s temperament.
He is not a hateful person, but whenever he encounters something related to sexual assault, he will always be extremely harsh.
When he was a child, he was almost dragged into the woods and raped. When he grew up, he was verbally insulted. Chu Shici hated all criminals.
His life was ruined by such people, and he will never make it easy for them.
___
He slept too late last night and Chu Shici still has the habit of sleeping in.
Knowing that he still had something to do, he specifically asked the system to set an alarm clock for 7:30 in the morning.
After packing up and going down the mountain, they should be just in time for the clinic to open.
When he gets up in a daze, Xunzhe is still thinking about what to wear.
This is the first time that Chu Shici sees the snake yao transform into a human being.
His upper body is still the one he is familiar with, but under the strong abdominal muscles, there is no longer a white snake tail, but two slender and straight legs, with blood stains still remaining on one of the legs.
The outline of the muscles on his legs are not exaggerated, but they contain explosive strength.
The only flaw is that a large piece of meat is missing from the left leg, with canine teeth marks remaining on it.
snake yaos have a very strong ability to heal themselves. The wound has stopped bleeding, but it has not recovered yet. The flesh and blood were alarming to look at and there was some infection.
Chu Shici didn’t take off his cassock last night, so he didn’t need to change clothes.
He sat on the stone slab and look around.
Xunzhe usually uses his tail to navigate, as a result, he is a little uncomfortable in human form.
Seeing that the little monk is awake, he walks over slowly and asks him what kind of dynasty he is in and what kind of clothes he should wear.
Chu Shici didn’t answer. He look down little by little, then finally look back up with satisfaction.
The system was having breakfast when it suddenly received a text from the host.
’20×2.’
[2?]
‘2. It’s complete.’
The system turned off the software and ran out. Outside is full of mosaics.
The system sneered, knowing that only Chu Shici can see these things, and it is not worthy of it.
While Xunzhe was busy turning leaves into clothes, Chu Shici continues to study the golden statue.
In order to help Xunzhe last night, he used the Buddha Light as a hidden weapon and threw it into the mouth of Lady Dayangtian’s fox head.
But now that he is standing in front of the statue, he can’t feel the breath of Buddha Light at all. It seems that it has gone to a far away place and lost contact with its owner.
Chu Shici touch the statue. Could it be that the Buddha Light is still in the belly of Lady Dayangtian?
He couldn’t figure out what was going on with the statue, so he simply stopped studying it and told the snake yao his plan while basking the lotus in the sun.
Xunzhe tied his shoelaces awkwardly and said coldly: “Let’s go to Dayangtian Ming Temple first.”
“But you’re seriously injured.”
“It’s just some skin trauma, even if the injury is serious, I can enter this temple as soon as I want, and no one can stop me.”
Chu Shici discovered something.
Last night, after he beat Lady Dayangtian within a few seconds, and was given a mountain of praise from the little monk, Zhe-ge feels good about himself and is a little proud now.
This kind of Zhe-ge is also very good, he likes it.
___
Today’s Dayangtian Ming Temple is as lively as ever, dozens of people lined up early in the morning waiting to offer incense.
Some of them came to pray for a child, and some just used it as a tourist attraction to visit this well-known temple.
It seems that something happened to the temple, and the door was opened half an hour late.
It wasn’t until after nine o’clock in the morning that two monks opened the gate.
After all, they came to pray for a child, and the pilgrims couldn’t complain, so they entered the door one after another.
In the woods not far from the temple, a young man walked out.
He is wearing a plain white short-sleeve, loose jeans and a pair of sneakers, and an ordinary backpack.
His outfit is not eye-catching but what really attracts everyone’s attention is his short silver-white hair and his unusually handsome appearance.
He is more handsome than the stars in the movies, especially those golden eyes, which seems to be able to suck people’s souls in.
The noisy crowd instantly quieted down and look at him in unison.
After a few seconds, a woman prayed devoutly: “Lady, please bless me that I may have such a handsome baby in the future.”
She look at Xunzhe, and prayed again, “Though, I hope that my baby won’t have colorful hair and eyes when he grows up, it’s, it’s weird.”
Chu Shici lie on Xunzhe’s shoulder, pretending that he is a strange accessory.
He patted Xunzhe, “It’s okay Ge, they just think you look good.”
Xunzhe frowned slightly, “I haven’t appeared in front of people for a long time, I’m not use to it.”
The system is sorting data.
Seeing the bright sun this morning, the protagonist was very excited, and his vitality value rose to 33 points. It can be seen that he really likes to bask in the sun.
The two had just come out from the Dayangtian Ming Temple, they had taken away all the materials and pamphlets they deemed useful.
Chu Shici wanted to ask the monk what he was burying at night, and what was the use of the steamed buns he fed to women.
But no matter how hard he pressed them, they didn’t answer.
Even though Lady Dayangtian had run away, these monks still couldn’t get rid of her control.
Judging by the reactions of the old monk, they must be involuntary victims. Since they are also victims, Chu Shici can’t torture them to extract a confession.
The way down the mountain is long, and Chu Shici is a little bored. He fiddled with his fingers, “Ge, if you hate going down the mountain so much, why did you want to save those women in the first place?”
Xunzhe lowered his eyes, “They were crying pitifully, and my heart softened.”
He paused for a while, and the tips of his ears turned red, “It’s not all sympathy. You have heard the legend of a snake transforming into a dragon. I want to transform into a dragon, so I need to accumulate merit.”
“Transform into a dragon?”
“Humans hate snake yaos, but worship dragons. If I can become a dragon…”
He didn’t say any more, but Chu Shici can see the helplessness and confusion in his eyes.
He held his chin, “Being a snake yao is also very good. Even if you can’t change into a dragon, I will still admire you very much.”
Xunzhe was stunned for a moment and chuckled, “You are the first to say that in more than 1,500 years.”
At the same time, a message pops up in the background.
[Add 1 point to the vitality value, and the current vitality value is 34.]
