After Two Lifetimes I Was Reborn Back Inside A Book CH 117 Heart To Heart

The vicissitudes of life upstairs couldn’t affect the harmony downstairs at all.

While He Qianjian confronted He Yanfeng and Yang Yun in the surgical inpatient department on the fifth floor, Jiang Chen’s family was packing up their things in the obstetrics inpatient department on the second floor, preparing to be discharged and go home.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Yang Si gave birth very smoothly. Not only did she give birth to Jiang Ran within half an hour, but also her follow-up recovery was very fast. She could be discharged from the hospital in less than three days. After that, she only needed to stay at home for recuperation and there would be basically no problem at all.

In the ward, Yang Si sat on the side with her daughter in her arms, smiling as she watched the father and son pair packing up their luggage.

Although they only stayed for less than a week, Jiang Chen and Jiang Zhuo filled the suite-like ward with all the things they might or might not need after Yang Si gave birth. The sitting room, bedroom, and nursing room were already full of things that a mother and her baby might need.

It would take a lot of time just to clean these up.

Yang Si complained: “I said at the beginning not to buy so many things, and it would be difficult to carry it when we leave the hospital. But you two keep bringing things here, and you bought so many duplicate things, wasting time and money.”

Jiang Zhuo picked up a pacifier, carefully put it into a small sterilized box. He turned around and said, “How are there any duplicates, aren’t these all necessities?”

“You bought more than twenty pacifiers. Does she have twenty mouths? How can she use them up?” Yang Si pointed at the pacifier in Jiang Zhuo’s hand. Then seeing Jiang Chen with three piles of clothes for the baby, she changed her target: “And Chen Chen, you bought so many clothes for your little sister, could she wear them all? Babies grow very fast, and the clothes will not be able to be worn after a few days. She won’t be able to wear all the ones you bought even if she changes three times a day.”

Jiang Chen and Jiang Zhuo looked at each other, lowered their heads and packed up their things without speaking.

Yang Si shook her head and teased the little girl in her arms: “Ran Ran be good, you can’t be like your brother and daddy, it’s bad to be excess and extravagant.”

……

Back home, Yang Si fed her once, and then took Jiang Ran to bed.

Jiang Chen and Jiang Zhuo organized the things they brought back, cooked a light meal of some dumplings, and ate some casually before completely relaxing.

The father and son pair sat on the sofa, looking at the many extra baby products at home, with smiles on their faces. Jiang Zhuo thought of something, and his smile gradually faded. He got up and walked to the door, quietly glanced at his sleeping wife and daughter inside, and then closed the door and went back to the living room.

Jiang Chen also put away his relaxed look, and looked up at his father who sat next to him.

“Chen Chen.” Jiang Zhuo lowered his voice: “I have been taking care of your mother and sister for the past few days, and I haven’t been able to continue the chat with you about the unfinished things in the hospital garden. Now I finally have the time. Dad wants to chat with you.”

Jiang Chen nodded slightly, “Yeah.”

“Dad wants to ask you, what is the attitude of the He family now.” Jiang Zhuo paused, and added: “Towards you.”

Jiang Chen pursed his lips: “I discussed with them before that I will not disclose my identity before the college entrance examination, and only go to the old family house once a month to have dinner with the old gentleman and old madam, and…..after it is made public, I will change my identity and return to using the He surname.”

Jiang Zhuo’s expression changed slightly. He was silent for a while, then sighed softly. He slowly raised his hand, put it lightly on Jiang Chen’s shoulder, and pressed it firmly: “You have worked hard during this time, son.”

Jiang Chen raised his eyes suddenly, and they involuntarily reddened..

He agreed to the He family to change back to using the He surname because the He family gave him half a year of freedom and buffer time in exchange for this surname, and also because he believed that his parents cared more about other things than the surname.

However, no matter how sure he was before, when faced with that short period of silence just now, he still felt uneasy. He couldn’t help thinking, if his father was really sad because of this matter, or if he really cared about this matter, then how would he explain it, and how would he solve it.

In just a few seconds, he thought about many things his father might say, and also thought about many ways to answer and respond. He was even ready to endure his anger, but he didn’t expect that what he heard was: You’ve worked hard.

Jiang Chen lowered his eyelashes, and the teardrops quickly fell into the sofa cushion, leaving no trace.

Jiang Zhuo moved his hands on Jiang Chen’s shoulders, wrapped his arms around him, and hugged him gently with one hand. He patted his back with the other, comforting him in a gentle voice: “Okay, it’s all over, no matter what happens in the future, Dad will face it with you.”

“You don’t blame me?”

“Why would Dad blame you?” Jiang Zhuo said in a hearty and gentle voice, “Would you disown Dad just because you don’t share my surname?”

“Of course not.” Jiang Chen raised his head, his eyes still red.

“Then that’s right.” Jiang Zhuo touched the end of his eyes and said, “Dad knows, you would agree because you know what Mom and I care more about than these formalities, because you care about Mom and Dad and are afraid of us being sad, so you wanted us to have the time to slowly adjust, right?”

Jiang Chen’s eyes stung more, and he nodded slightly.

“In that case, of course I won’t blame you.” Jiang Zhuo paused, and looked at him pretending to be surprised: “I thought us father and son had a better understanding than you and your mother, a tacit understanding without words. You wouldn’t happen to not trust Dad just now, would you.”

Jiang Chen wiped his eyes casually. He didn’t expect that after decades, he would still cry in front of his father. He turned his head slightly, coughed softly, and changed the subject: “Let’s continue talking.”

Jiang Zhuo joked: “What’s the matter? Are you still shy in front of your own father? When you were young, and got in a fight with a little girl for toys, you couldn’t win against her physically or using reasoning, don’t know who it was who loved to cry so much. I didn’t see you being shy back then.”

Jiang Chen turned his head: “That’s a long time ago.”

“No matter how long, Dad still remembers it clearly.” Jiang Zhuo smiled, recalling the memories, and stretched out his hand to gesture: “Your mother and I watched you grow from such a small little thing to a tall young man now. We participated in every moment of your growth, and we understand and love you better than anyone else.”

“So, not only do Mom and Dad trust you, you also have to trust us. No matter what happens, we are a family of three, no, now we are a family of four. No matter what difficulties we face, our family of four will never be separated.”

Jiang Chen’s eyes were as clear as water, and a faint smile overflowed from his eyes, lighting up his entire face. He nodded heavily and agreed.

“Okay.” Jiang Zhuo glanced at the time, got up and said, “Dad just wanted to ask you about the He family’s decision. Now that your mother is about to wake up, Dad is going to make her something to eat. You haven’t had much rest either during so many days, so go to sleep for a while, didn’t you say that you will go to the hospital with Xiao Xu to see Xiao Bo after school later?”

Jiang Chen stood up and was about to take a step when he stopped, and called after Jiang Zhuo: “About He Qianjian, what are you going to do?”

Jiang Zhuo turned his head, the smile on his face faded: “Your mother doesn’t like him very much, so we’ll talk about it later.”

“But he is…..”

Jiang Zhuo shook his head, turned around and looked at Jiang Chen: “You know that Dad had no parents, and you have no grandparents. I have always been an orphan, until I met your mother, and then we had a family. From Dad’s point of view, blood relationship is very important, but it is far less important than affinity. You would become the child of me and your mother, this is fate, he…..maybe there is no fate between us from the beginning. “

“Damn, Uncle Jiang really said that?” Shen Xu took a bite of the apple and said, “That’s so cool.”

Jiang Chen glanced at him: “I’ve said so much, and you only pick up on this?”

“What else is there?” Shen Xu frowned, thinking hard, then suddenly snapped his fingers. He leaned over and said in a mysterious and vulgar way: “I heard that He Qianjian has a fiancée, you guys were promised to each other when you two weren’t even born yet. Since you are Uncle He’s biological son, then the fiancée is also yours.”

Jiang Chen raised his leg, kicked his stool, and turned to look at Huo Bo.

Huo Bo’s head was still wrapped in gauze, but his complexion was pretty good. Seeing Jiang Chen looking over, he was still in the mood to joke, and he raised his lips and said, “Congratulations, the eldest young master has a fiancée.”

“You two…..” Jiang Chen couldn’t help laughing, and after laughing, he said seriously, “I’m sorry, I kept this matter from you both this whole time.”

“There is nothing to apologize for.” Shen Xu threw the apple core into the trash can, put his foot on the ground, and slid the chair to Jiang Chen’s side. He said with a smile: “Actually, old Huo and I have suspected it for a long time. You and He Qianmin look so similar, as long as we are not blind, we can’t help but think about it in our heart, not to mention that you not only resemble He Qianmin, but you resemble every He family member we have ever met, either this part or that part. No matter how dumb, anyone would have doubts.”

Huo Bo nodded: “At first when I learned it was He Qianjian who was looking for your trouble I was worried that you would suffer losses, so I wanted to check He Qianjian’s background for you. Later, I found that He Qianjian is very strange. I wanted to warn you, but I can see that you already had an understanding in your heart, so I didn’t say anything.”

“That’s right, every time He Qianjian tried to find trouble with you, he failed, and he is the one who suffered. We saw that you didn’t want to mention him very much, so we didn’t tell you about him.” Shen Xu picked up a banana this time, and while peeling the skin, said: “Besides, we both understand that you not telling us about this is because you don’t really want to go back to the He family. To put it bluntly, you don’t really want to admit your identity, and if you don’t want to admit it, naturally you won’t tell us.”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

“But, I have to say something.” Shen Xu handed the banana to Huo Bo, only for Huo Bo to reject it in disdain, then handed it to Jiang Chen: “Eat a banana, I peeled it specially for you.” Jiang Chen was also disdainful and gave him an eyeroll. Shen Xu shrugged his shoulders, took a bite himself, and continued: “Your biological parents are actually quite good to you. You can’t think that the He family is not good just because He Qianjian is disgusting. Isn’t there still Min Min? He is your dear little brother. I know you are filial to Uncle and Aunt Jiang, but Mr. He and Mrs. He are also your parents, and you being good to both sides is not a hindrance. So, buddy, we just want to tell you that you should learn to accept them, have them give you more pocket money, and then often treat us buddies to food.”

Jiang Chen kicked his chair away, and amidst the laughter and cursing, he lowered his eyes and began to think.

After Becoming The Tyrant CH 120 Hell Banquet

As the battleships slowly landed from the sky, it was like a thick dark cloud was surprising over them. The black iron dragon wings were driven by friction, bringing up a hurricane that could blow people into the sky. The Devil held the umbrella firmly with one hand, and wrapped his other hand around the King. The hurricane disappeared automatically when it reached him.

The bat bone wings flying over the buttresses in the castle flapped again, and the humming sound was like some kind of long-lost horn, echoing ring by ring from the castle.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

The dragon wings of the battleships were slightly drawn, and the ferocious giant ships, like tame dragons that suddenly became docile, flew down from the sky and passed by the almost vertical cliff. The King clearly saw the unique cold gleam of the metal armor on the hull and the wings. Soon, the battleships landed steadily at the front cabin of the dock in the sea of fire.

The pirates standing on the deck took off their hats and waved them cheerfully to the King.

These Walway pirates grinned happily. They didn’t think there was anything wrong with the ghost ship becoming like this, and even looked a little proud.

The Devil didn’t let go of his hand until the last ship landed. He closed the black umbrella and casually touched the rock wall with the umbrella in hand. A circle of invisible black mist rippled away, followed by the sound of gears twisting from behind the platform where he and the King stood, and the rock under his feet trembled slightly.

When the mechanism was activated, boulders protruded one after another on the originally smooth cliff, forming a ladder leading to the dock from top to bottom.

Hawkins chewed on a piece of grass dangling from his mouth and looked up at the silver-haired King walking down the stone steps, the air current fluttering at the King’s hair. For a moment, Hawkins had the illusion that the person walking down the stone steps was the young William III, or the young Duke of Buckingham.

Always insane and incoherent, the neurotic captain was silent for a moment before spitting out the piece of grass he was chewing.

“Oh, my noble sire! Long time no see! It seems that you are doing well in hell.” Captain Hawkins exclaimed like a rooster crowing, and he stepped forward to meet him first, “Charles, that nagging fellow can rest easy. The brave and fearless Walway Pirates offer you our highest regards!”

As he spoke, he took off his black hat and bowed to the King as he did when they first met.

The other pirates had just gathered together, and couldn’t help showing a look of “Damn, why was this disgraceful guy our captain”.

Griselda who just took a step forward: “……”

Miss Witch reconnected with Jenny with a deadpan face.

Captain Hawkins, who stood up straight, had no time to comment on the King’s dock when the iron plate under his feet suddenly flipped down. Mr. Captain only had time to shout “hey!” before he fell down, and the iron plate closed again with a “clang”. Griselda stepped over the restored deck and bowed to the King.

“Our Miss Jenny has grown up.”

The King stepped up from the step that Jenny let down voluntarily, and he reached out to touch the iron railing.

At the iron railing that the King touched, dark green rose vines appeared again with a “swoosh”, and a branch with a crimson rose bloom stretched out in front of the King, gently touching the King’s fine-boned hands.

“Good day, Miss Jenny.”

The King plucked off the blooming rose and lifted it up slightly.

The sails of the Jenny, which transformed from an ancient wooden ship into a giant iron-clad battleship, “squeaked” and looked very happy.

“Your Majesty, come this way please.”

The witch bowed slightly to lead the way for the King.

Jenny, who had turned back into a Dragon Wing Battleship, was obviously also very excited. Wherever the King went, roses would bloom there. A pirate’s hands were itchy, and he stretched out his hand to try to pick one off, but was whipped firmly by the vine, and could only hiss in pain.

The cabin of the Dragon Wing Battleship was divided into three floors. In the control room, the King saw the core of this alchemical living ship.

A cloud of blue flame was suspended in the transparent crystal tubular column, and danced happily when the King entered. It obviously had its own consciousness. Beside the crystal pillar, there was a thick stack of scrolls. When he saw these scrolls, the King looked at the Devil.

Griselda had already prepared all the work in the early stage, and she had already picked out the contract scrolls corresponding to the pirates who died in battle.

The ancient contract scrolls were spread out one by one, and the words on them shone a strange power under the firelight. At the end of the scrolls, the blood dripped from the pirates took the place of their names and served as the point of the contract. The witch lit a strange candle, and a faint white smoke drifted away in the cabin, at the same time the dripping blood on the scroll began to spread out.

“According to the principle of equivalent exchange…..”

The witch read the lengthy contract words in a low voice, and she read out the contents of the contract concluded at the beginning one by one. The Walway pirates signed a contract with the ghost ship that included a contract of the soul. From the moment their blood dripped on the scroll, they were destined to belong to these ancient alchemical ships.

Even if they died, their souls still belonged to the alchemical living ship.

The witch took advantage of this point of the contract to forcibly summon their souls from the River of the Departed.

The flame flickered on and off, and there was an invisible wind in the air. Cold sweat dripped down the witch’s forehead in big drops. As the contract took effect, she felt another resistance, which was the rules of hell preventing the undead from returning to the Dragon Wing Battleship——all the souls that entered the River of the Departed belonged to the ruler of hell.

“May the supreme and eternal sovereign bear witness to the covenant in his power and majesty.”

All the scrolls floated up, and Griselda couldn’t bear the pressure from the rules anymore, she knelt down with a plop, and begged with her head bowed in awe.

The King raised the bone scepter in his hand and tapped the crystal pillar.

His Majesty has granted permission.

The contract took effect.

The next moment, a bright light erupted from the secret room of the battleship, sweeping all the other battleships as well.

On the deck, the palms of the anxiously waiting pirates were covered with cold sweat. They didn’t know what was going on in the cabin, the jokes and laughter that were used to cover up the tension just now were gone, and they stared at the stairs entering the cabin without daring to let out a breath.

Suddenly, a faint blue light burst out from the stairs, drowning everyone. There seemed to be another kind of heavy majesty contained within that light, and the pirates all knelt down involuntarily.

“Was it successful?”

After the light gradually faded, a pirate climbed up from the deck, and he spoke nervously.

What answered him was arrogant laughter:

“Hahahahaha! No pustules! I’m still so handsome!”

The pirates got up from the deck and saw the familiar faces of their companions. The guys who had jumped into the sea were ecstatic to see that they were clean and without pus-filled hands, and they were glad that their souls did not retain the disgusting look when they died.

“Why did our ship become so big all of a sudden!” A blind ghostly pirate floated around the mast twice, easily flew to a high place, and stared dumbfounded at the mighty Dragon Wing Battleship, “Mama mia, don’t tell me the captain went and swindled someone, right?”

The pirates cheered, and a pirate wearing a turban wiped his face and shouted at the one-eyed ghost: “Quick! Pay me back my money! You bastard, you owe me the wine money, hurry up!”

“Hey, hey! What does the money you owed when you were a human have anything to do with the dead!”

“F**k! You f**king don’t want to pay back the money!”

……

Hawkins crawled out of the cabin, broke off a rose twig and chewed it in his mouth: “Stinky boys.”

The King also came up, the Devil turned his black umbrella, and the always calm and steady witch showed a faint smile on her face. The laughing and cursing pirates saw the King, and they waved their hats at him, cheering in unison:

“Long live Legrand!”

“Long live the King!”

The cheers echoed above the magma sea of fire, and the fiery light was plated on the faces of the fearless pirates. The warriors who were like brothers were finally able to stand side by side again, with dragon wings flapping and sails hunting.

…………

Blackstone Royal Castle.

On the seventh day after the King’s arrival, the gates of the castle were thrown open, and the dragon’s head lay in docility on the ground. All the candlesticks were lit at the same time, and all the windows were opened at the same time. The bloodkin servants dressed in gorgeous court clothes filed out of the icy cold castle, wearing swords on their waists, and stood on both sides of the bone stairs leading to the main hall of the castle.

The banquet held by the King was today.

These days, there had been a lot of movement in the Blackstone Royal Castle, but the rest of hell was quiet, maintaining an anxious dead silence, and turbulent undercurrents in private.

After coming to hell for so long, people in the military heavy industry department finally have a little bit of feeling that they were truly in hell today.

They stared dumbfounded at the ferocious giant beasts passing overhead on black clouds, and at the arrival of all kinds of strange creatures with rumbling noises. During this day, they saw almost all monsters that only appeared in nightmares, monsters with horns and hoofs, monsters with countless arms and long snake-like creatures with countless compound eyes…..

The monsters gathered to attend the King’s banquet.

And until today, people in the military heavy industry have finally realized that the skeletons who have been getting along well with them were not only friendly colleagues, but also terrifying soldiers. Today, the skeletons didn’t work any more, but cold flames danced in their eye sockets, holding spears in their hands, they gathered into a chilling death army, waiting quietly on the barren beach.

When a serpentine lord passed by the military heavy industry base, he looked down at the people in the base who were frightened pale: “Humans…..”

Its deep voice reached the people’s ears like billowing muffled thunder.

On the barren rocky beach, without further ado, the skeleton captain waved his hand, and the skeleton soldiers raised their spears at the same time. The spear points were cold, and they were all pointed at the lord who had stopped.

The lord snorted coldly and swam towards the castle.

In the castle.

The King was alone, perched on the throne.

Many hell lords have already arrived, and they all turned into human-like appearances and sat in their seats. However, horns, wings, snake tails and other things that human beings could not have declared their identities. The forms of the lords were different, the only thing in common was that they all possessed a bone ring on them.

The ghostly court musicians played beautiful melodies dutifully, but the atmosphere in the hall was still very weird.

The lords who arrived first were all minor lords. When they entered the hall, they sat down directly on their seats in a disrespectful manner, without showing any respect to the King above them. This behavior itself was a silent statement and provocation.

The atmosphere in the hall was tense, the lords had deliberately released their aura. The candles flickered constantly, and the light and shadow swayed.

The King sat on the highest throne with the crown of thorns, and while the lords did not salute, he did not speak either. He held a golden wine goblet, lowered his eyes expressionlessly, and drank on his own.

The lords kept looking maliciously and greedily at the King’s hand holding the wine glass. The gold wine goblet matched the bone ring and the rose ring on the King’s finger. Some lords with lower IQs and stronger killing instincts practically had their blood-red eyes stuck to the King’s fingers. They were suppressed by the power symbolized by the bone ring, but at the same time coveted and wanted to rush to snatch it.

The one who held those two powers was just a mortal.

But that mortal wore a rose ring and had silver hair and icy blue eyes that made them wary. The lunatic who called himself a “soul merchant” was obviously working for him again.

Wariness and greed were constantly clashing, and there was much heavy breathing in the hall.

Lords kept arriving.

Gorgeously dressed bloodkin attendants with gloves on, carrying silver plates with metal covers, filed in and stood on both sides of the banquet hall. These bloodkins seemed completely unaware of the greed and killing intent surging in the hall, and just stood like sculptures.

Just when a lord with scales on his upper body and compound eyes covering his body couldn’t resist the greed for the ring of authority on the King’s finger and was about to pounce, the King suddenly raised his eyes.

Drip, drip.

The sound of liquid dripping on the stone was very soft, but held an inexplicable chill. Along with the sound of the liquid dripping was the sound of light footsteps. These footsteps made the lord shiver solidly, as if ice water was suddenly poured down over his head, and he remained motionless.

The Devil in a black formal suit came in from the door of the main hall.

He was the most human-like hellish being in the audience. He wore  black formal attire, and the tail of the coat was elegant like a swallowtail. If it wasn’t for the overly pale skin and the dark and gloomy aura that couldn’t be concealed, then he would look like an ordinary handsome young man. But all the guys here knew he was not.

The Devil held a white long sword in his hand, the candlelight shone on his face, and there was a smile familiar to the lords on his lips.

The sound of liquid dripping came from his other hand——

A hideous and terrifying head was held in his hand, and thick black blood was continuously dripping from the detached part of the head.

The lords suddenly settled down.

They recognized that head, it was an ancient lord who crawled out of the Wall of Insects.

The Devil passed directly in front of all the lords.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Under the eyes of everyone, he knelt down on one knee in front of the throne, and the bloodkin servant next to him opened the metal cover on the tray. The Devil placed the ancient lord’s head on the metal tray and offered it as a gift to the mortal King who sat on his throne.

“Your Majesty, it disobeyed your order and was unwilling to take part in the banquet.”

The Devil spoke politely, as if he were a knight carrying out any one of his sovereign’s orders.

“So, I let it come to you personally to make amends.”

Source of Calamity CH 098 Embarrassing

Zhang Zixin really came to report in, and Shen Zhen still felt a little disbelieving. Zhang Zixin looked like a very mature person, and there was no sign at all of the funny personality he had when chatting on the phone. He was a little shorter than Shen Zhen, but not too short. He had a good figure and looked very steady and mature when he smiled.

Li Xiaolin also liked him very much, and in just half a day, Li Xiaolin was willing to take Zhang Zixin to lunch and chat together.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Zhang Zixin was a master at socializing, which was why he had not been replaced at Liu Huan’s side for so long, and even becoming Liu Huan’s confidant.

He knew when enough was enough, what kind of words to say on what occasion, and even clearly knew the bottom line of his boss, and lived as comfortably as possible above the bottom line.

Shen Zhen knew that such people were not common. Among Qin Xing’s many assistants, the most capable Brother Ma was the same as Zhang Zixin. However, Brother Ma had been in the industry longer and had more experience than Zhang Zixin, so he did even better. Even so, Zhang Zixin was already very impressive. He could even talk about cosmetics with Li Xiaolin during the lunch break, and he even knew which brand of face cream was better.

But the strange thing was that Li Xiaolin’s attitude towards Zhang Zixin was not that of a woman towards a man.

It was more like the attitude towards a playmate who she had a good relationship with.

But Shen Zhen could see that Zhang Zixin’s attitude towards Li Xiaolin was closer to one deliberately getting closer to another, but also keeping it to a certain degree.

Not only that, he had only been here for three days, and he had already figured out Shen Zhen’s habits.

Including what kind of tea Shen Zhen liked to drink at different time periods, what was the preferred temperature of the tea, and the favorite temperature of the indoor air conditioner. And according to Shen Zhen’s habits when reading documents, he would also adjust how he organized the documents.

Such a talent, Shen Zhen, had only seen in Brother Ma.

This made Shen Zhen feel like he had found a treasure. Even if Liu Huan came to snatch him back, he would still try his best to keep Zhang Zixin.

If the secretary was capable, one’s work efficiency would be greatly improved. Although it seemed that these were small tasks, it was these small things that required more attention.

Li Xiaolin probably also noticed that Shen Zhen valued Zhang Zixin more and more, and she also started to panic. Shen Zhen had only her as an assistant before. After the break-in period passed, her sense of urgency was not so strong, so she began to relax.

Now that Zhang Zixin came, she also started to learn from Zhang Zixin.

All in all, Shen Zhen had never felt so comfortable working.

Maybe Zhang Zixin would be more accomplished than Brother Ma at Brother Ma’s age one day.

“Without you, Liu Huan will have a headache.” Shen Zhen said to Zhang Zixin when he got off work, “Where do you live, I can drop you off.”

It was not easy to take a taxi at this time, the subway and bus were crowded, and Zhang Zixin didn’t drive himself, so he accepted Shen Zhen’s kindness, knowing that it was the new boss showing his favor.

The driver was already waiting downstairs.

Both Zhang Zixin and Shen Zhen sat in the back seat. Zhang Zixin took out Shen Zhen’s itinerary for tomorrow and put it next to him. This copy was for the driver to see, so that the driver would know when and where to send Shen Zhen.

In the past, Li Xiaolin only called the driver when he needed to use the car. Although there was no delay, this method was more convenient.

Shen Zhen had never educated Li Xiaolin. As long as his work was not delayed, he was not very interested in how assistants and secretaries coordinate the relationship between departments. Besides, Li Xiaolin had not worked for as long as Zhang Zixin. Some things were accumulated by time and learned by experience.

Zhang Zixin was renting a house on the second ring road, with two bedrooms and one living room, but he lived alone.

“Occasionally, if a friend comes by, they could stay with me for one night.” Zhang Zixin said with a smile, “This way I don’t have to sleep on the sofa.”

Shen Zhen nodded, but he was still a little curious: “Why don’t you buy a place?”

Zhang Zixin: “I bought one in my hometown. I bought a duplex in the city center for my parents.”

Shen Zhen smiled: “You are quite filial.”

Zhang Zixin sighed: “I can’t help it, I’m an only child, and I’m under a lot of pressure.”

Shen Zhen asked again: “Why were you willing to come to me? Liu Huan won’t offer you bad conditions, right?”

Zhang Zixin said sincerely: “Because CEO Shen, you are more handsome than CEO Liu.”

Shen Zhen was amused: “If I were Liu Huan, I would never let you go.”

Zhang Zixin sighed: “If I were him, I wouldn’t let me go either.”

Shen Zhen thought Zhang Zixin was very interesting.

But he still had to ask clearly: “What if Liu Huan asks you to go back?”

Zhang Zixin: “Then he has to get a skin lift first, or have plastic surgery to look like you.”

Shen Zhen’s gaze was serious: “Please answer me seriously, so that I can decide how to assign work to you.”

Zhang Zixin looked at Shen Zhen, and finally said, “I probably will go back.”

Shen Zhen continued looking at him.

Zhang Zixin: “I have been with CEO Liu since I graduated. To be honest, I probably know him better than he himself. He seems to have a bad temper, but he is actually very patient and tolerant. He likes challenges and new things, during the holidays, he would never forget to give my parents gifts either.”

“To be precise, the reason I have today is thanks to CEO Liu.” Zhang Zixin smiled at Shen Zhen, “This may sound a bit affectatious. My parents gave me life, my teacher gave me knowledge, and CEO Liu gave me a future.”

Shen Zhen nodded: “Do you like him?”

Zhang Zixin was taken aback, and was amused by Shen Zhen’s words, and said: “That’s not the case. My feelings towards CEO Liu, for example, is like Zhuge Liang’s attitude towards Liu Bei. He is my mentor in many ways. I admire him very much and also respect him. At the very beginning, I even kind of worshiped him.”

Shen Zhen understood.

Zhang Zixin was very loyal to Liu Huan.

No matter what the reason was, he probably only came here to keep a distance from Liu Huan for a period of time.

“It’s a pity.” Shen Zhen sighed, “I also hope to have a secretary as capable as you by my side.”

Zhang Zixin quickly said: “Before I leave, I will mentor Xiao Li. She is quite smart, but she didn’t find the right way before.”

Shen Zhen: “Then I will trouble you.”

Zhang Zixin: “No trouble, I want to get paid.”

Shen Zhen pursed his lips and smiled: “Okay.”

Zhang Zixin looked at Shen Zhen, and thought as he got out of the car, no wonder Liu Huan was attracted to Shen Zhen before.

This man was simply too attractive.

He didn’t even need to say anything, he just had to sit there and he would be able to attract everyone’s attention.

But Shen Zhen had a lover, and his lover was Qin Xing.

When Zhang Zixin thought about this, he felt that Liu Huan was really unlucky. After all these years, he had finally kicked an iron plate.

In short, Liu Huan failing in the romantic field, Zhang Zixin felt quite pleased.

He was also fed up with taking care of Liu Huan’s exes. Those men and women who were pursued by Liu Huan because of the challenge, he was the one who took care of them in the end. He wanted to use action to tell Liu Huan that enough was enough.

After Shen Zhen came home, Qin Xing had already prepared the meal. The two of them lived a very regular life now. They could have breakfast together most of the time, usually ate lunch in their respective companies, and then come back to eat together at night. If Qin Xing came back earlier, then Shen Zhen could have dinner directly when he got home.

After dinner, the two would watch the news or TV together in the living room, or talk.

Then take a shower.

As for the matter on the bed, it depended on their mood that day.

To be precise, it depended on Shen Zhen’s mood. In short, Qin Xing never refused when Shen Zhen wanted it.

But even so, Shen Zhen was still worried that Qin Xing couldn’t bear it. He was already very restrained. After all, he was at the age to be relatively hot-blooded. Because he was considerate of Qin Xing, he usually controlled it to three to four times a week, afraid that Qin Xing would be squeezed dry by him.

During the meal, Shen Zhen suddenly said to Qin Xing: “Should we buy some snake wine, I heard…..”

But he didn’t finish speaking, his instincts directly telling him that Qin Xing might be unhappy if he finished speaking.

Qin Xing didn’t think much about it: “What? Suddenly gaining a taste for that kind of wine?”

Shen Zhen mended the situation: “It’s nothing, I just thought of it suddenly, and I’m not very interested, so it’s better not to buy it.”

Shen Zhen sat in the living room with Qin Xing after dinner. He took out his mobile phone, and then said to Qin Xing, “Let’s buy some sea bass tomorrow, I want to eat it.”

Of course Qin Xing would not refuse.

Then they ate sea bass the next day. From this day on, Shen Zhen, who had never made requests on meals before, began to make requests.

Including scallops, oysters, cuttlefish, lamb loin, veal loin, and caviar. Leeks were too obvious, so he didn’t mention them.

After eating like this for a while, Qin Xing finally noticed something.

One night before going to bed, Qin Xing drank an unknown drink. Shen Zhen’s eyes widened, he was just a little suspicious, could it be that Qin Xing really…..

After Qin Xing finished drinking, he said to him, “Do you want a cup too?”

Shen Zhen said cautiously: “I…..probably don’t need it?”

Qin Xing raised his eyebrows: “Really? I thought you would want to try it.”

Shen Zhen: “…..Then let me try it.”

When he drank it, he tasted something fishy, which made him a bit nauseous. He pinched his nose and drank it, and was kissed by Qin Xing after drinking it.

The two quickly rolled onto the bed.

Shen Zhen felt that what he drank must be an aphrodisiac, and he felt that he was extremely fierce that night.

Usually he couldn’t last long if he took the initiative, but tonight, he lasted for at least half an hour.

Still tired, but much better than usual.

Shen Zhen asked Qin Xing after the two of them took a bath: “Where did you buy that aphrodisiac medicine? Although it doesn’t taste good, the effect is quite good. If there is no problem, you can buy more and store it. It’s quite rare to see this kind of medicine that is both effective and harmless.”

Qin Xing remained calm: “Really? You think it’s effective?”

Shen Zhen nodded: “Yeah.”

Qin Xing finally couldn’t help laughing out loud.

Shen Zhen looked at him inexplicably: “What are you laughing at? What’s so funny?”

Qin Xing: “So you’ve been giving me ‘tonics’ all this time?”

Shen Zhen said in a small voice, “I’m also eating them myself.”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Qin Xing muffled his laugh: “You don’t need to worry about it, I know my own body.”

“That was just Houttuynia cordata juice. If you like it, there are still more in the kitchen. You can squeeze it yourself.” Qin Xing said a little evilly, “Is it very effective?”

Shen Zhen wanted to find a crack in the ground to stuff himself in.

How embarrassing!

After Two Lifetimes I Was Reborn Back Inside A Book CH 116 Turning Pale

As a popular figure in the school, He Qianjian taking leave of absence for three consecutive days and did not come to school sparked quite some discussion.

The results of the second mock test would be released on Wednesday, but as early as after the first mock test, many people from several schools bet that either Li Xiao or He Qianjian would take the top spot in the second mock test. Most of the students from the attached secondary school chose Li Xiao, while most of Chenghua’s students chose He Qianjian.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

As for the fact that He Qianjian had never taken the top spot since the practice entrance examination, there were two reasons why so many people in Chenghua still think that he had the possibility of winning the first place in the mock test: First was that before, he was always among the top three even if it was not in the top spot, which showed his strength. Second, it was possible that due to He Qianjian seldom taking the minor exams because of his privileges before, he was not used to taking exams, so he ranked second or third.

After the second mock test, there would be the third mock test. After the third mock test, they would directly take the college entrance examination. Before the college entrance examination, there were only these two exams that could be ranked. Last year, Chenghua had a liberal arts top scorer, but this year there was no strong opponent in the liberal arts in the third year of high school, so everyone’s hopes naturally rested on He Qianjian.

After all, He Qianjian had received various exceptional treatment all the way since elementary school, and he could be said to be a legendary existence in Chenghua. Long before he entered high school, some people predicted that He Qianjian would be the top scorer of the college entrance examination three years later. When the senior sister of the previous year took the top spot in the liberal arts, some people regretted that if He Qianjian had gone to school a year earlier, Chenghua would have produced a double top scorer in the arts and sciences that year.

Three years passed quickly, and He Qianjian’s college entrance examination was coming soon, but he was either overwhelmed by Jiang Chen from No. 1 High School or Li Xiao from the Attached Secondary School. Seeing that the hope of being the number one student in the sciences became more and more elusive——the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. Even before the final reveal, Chenghua’s students couldn’t help but mutter in their hearts: Let’s hope that after glory for twelve years, he didn’t trip up in the final stage.

It was also because of this that not only the third year students in Chenghua, but also the students in the junior high school and the first and second years were very concerned about the results of this mock test.

Early on Wednesday morning, the Chenghua Bulletin Board was surrounded by students. The ranking list of the mock test was citywide. Towards the few study tyrants who were familiar to everyone, they didn’t even need to look at the school names next to their names. They just needed to look at their ranking number.

“The first is Li Xiao from the attached secondary school.”

Some people in the crowd sighed, but they couldn’t say they were very surprised. After all, since Jiang Chen in Yan No. 1 High School took a long leave and didn’t even take the mock exams, Li Xiao had been ranked first every time.

“Who is the second? Why have I never seen the name before?”

“Huo Bo?” Someone looked at the school name that followed and asked in surprise, “From Yan No. 1 High School?”

“Huo Bo?” Some people had some impressions and said with wide eyes: “Isn’t that Yan No. 1 school tyrant? And he is from class 11, how is that possible? It must be the same name and surname.”

“The famous garbage class of Yan No. 1 High School?” The speaker shook his head: “It must be the same name and surname. I can believe that the boss fights fiercely. But it’s unlikely that he would be second in the mock test.”

“How is it impossible?” Someone said: “I saw it before, and he placed sixteenth in the first mock exam. I heard that he placed around 600 in the first practice entrance exam. Then squeezed into the top 200 in the second practice entrance exam, and then improved more and more fiercely each time. At the end of last semester, he was already in the top 50 in the city.”

“Seriously?” Someone couldn’t believe it: “Or is the Huo Bo you mentioned not the same one we know?”

“The same one.” The person said firmly, “I asked my classmates in Yan No. 1 High School. The students in their school are even more surprised than us before. I heard that someone directly questioned him for cheating, and a teacher in their school testified later that he had been tutored by God Jiang. You probably all know that God Jiang did not go to evening self-study in the last semester of high school, but you probably don’t know that this was to tutor his two friends…..Look, Shen Xu, placing in the top thirty, you should have heard of him, he’s very popular, he, God Jiang and Huo Bo had been a trio since childhood.”

“Damn.” A boy exclaimed, unable to tell whether it was jealousy or envy: “Being friends with God Jiang can have this benefit?”

“Awesome.” One person thought of something, burst into laughter, and said while their shoulders shook from laughter: “You said that Jiang Chen in Yan No. 1 High School asked for leave as soon as school started, don’t tell me he was busy holding a remedial class.”

The students at the bulletin board were taken aback for a moment, and couldn’t help but also laugh out loud.

One person said: “If it’s true, I’ll go to every class even if it costs 10,000 f**king yuan per class.”

“Ditto, I’ll go even if it’s 100,000 yuan per class. What kind of badass teaching is this, able to pull someone from the last spot to become the second in the city.”

Someone pulled the topic back: “It seems that our school’s science top scorer is out of luck this time. He Qianjian didn’t get in the top three this time, he’s fourth.”

“The third place is also from our school, Zhang Liang, who is that, I haven’t heard of him.”

“He Qianjian is in his class. He wears glasses every day, so he doesn’t have any sense of presence. I heard that He Qianjian didn’t like him very much for a while. The group of people who played well with him messed with him several times. This time, his ranking in the exam topped He Qianjian. I imagine his life may become difficult again.”

“He Qianjian himself doesn’t know what kind of trouble he is in, yet he can still mess with other people.”

Hearing this cold snort, everyone looked in the direction of the sound. Seeing that it was Zhang Yanjing who had always been at odds with He Qianjian, they couldn’t help becoming gossipy.

Chenghua was a private school, and the family conditions of the students who could study there were not bad, but these backgrounds were also divided into rankings. He Qianjian and Zhang Yanjing were undoubtedly the top existences of the pyramid. In the entire Chenghua, apart from He Qianmin who had transferred to Yan No. 1 High School, Zhang Yanjing was the only one who could smack talk He Qianjian.

The gossip of big families was well hidden, and those who were not in the same circle couldn’t touch the truth at all, let alone have any source of news. He Qianjian asked for leave for three days, and no one knew why he asked for leave. Now there were many guesses, but there was no solid conclusion, and Zhang Yanjing in front of them was undoubtedly one of the most likely to know why He Qianjian asked for leave.

Yan No. 1 High School had Huo Bo, and Chenghua had Zhang Yanjing, both being school tyrants, the less courageous students were unavoidably a little timid, but there were also some bold ones who directly asked: “Brother Jing, why did He Qianjian take such a long leave, when will he come back? Is he all right?”

Zhang Yanjing did know why He Qianjian asked for leave, and he even knew a little bit about the recent treacherous situation in the He family. After all, their social circle was only so big, no secret could be kept for long, not to mention that the He family didn’t deliberately conceal it, they just didn’t announce it to the public for the time being.

Thinking of the young man whom he had met once before, Zhang Yanjing raised the corner of his mouth upwards, the other looked much more pleasing to the eye than He Qianjian.

Others might give He Qianjian and the He family face by not revealing He Qianjian’s scandal, but Zhang Yanjing didn’t have this concern. Hearing this question, he didn’t whet their appetites and simply smiled meaningfully: “It seems out of boredom he jumped off the balcony at home, fell into a cactus bush, and broke a leg. The people in the hospital plucked out nearly an entire operating table of cactus needles, so you tell me if you think he’s okay?”

“Jump off a balcony?” Some people was in disbelief, but they didn’t question Zhang Yanjing. As they all know, he didn’t bother to lie at all, and would rather hand in a blank paper than cheat.

Someone was curious: “Which floor?”

Zhang Yanjing sneered: “The second floor.”

Falling from the second floor could also fall like this, and before he jumped down didn’t he look at the spot first? Falling into the cactus bush in his own home, was there something wrong with He Qianjian’s head?

He Qianjian didn’t know that everyone was gossiping about him in Chenghua. His eyes were red at this moment, and he looked at He Yanfeng in disbelief. With his leg in a plaster and his pale face, he looked a bit pitiful.

“Dad? Jiang Chen treated me like this and pushed me downstairs, but you’re just going to forget about it?”

Although he was speaking to He Yanfeng, his gaze had already moved to Yang Yun, with tears shining at the end of his eyes.

Seeing his appearance, Yang Yun slightly turned her head away, but there was not much emotion in her eyes.

To be honest, when she saw He Qianjian lying in the flower bed with scratches and bruises all over his body, Yang Yun felt a lot of worry and distress. After all, she had raised He Qianjian for more than ten years, even knowing that he may have done a lot of bad things behind their backs and she had also thought about giving up on this child, but this was not something that happened overnight.

What was more, it was Jiang Chen’s indifferent appearance which contrasted with He Qianjian’s tragic appearance at that time that left the greatest impression.

He broke one of He Qianjian’s legs and forced him to fall off into the cactus bush, and he didn’t hold back the slightest bit, as if doing all of this was a matter of course. This contrasted greatly with the image of the bright and clean handsome young man she had before. With He Qianjian as a former lesson, what Yang Yun was most afraid of now was sudden contrast, and the last thing she wanted to see was a different appearance from what she imagined.

That night, after returning to their room, her husband noticed her strangeness. He didn’t say much, but just took out a stack of thick documents and handed them to her for her to look through.

In it, it was written that He Qianjian had sent people to monitor Jiang Chen since the third year of junior high school, it was written that he had a physical examination on the same day as Jiang Chen coincidentally every year, and it was written that he had sent people after Jiang Chen to break his hand, it was written that he deliberately provoked Jiang Chen at the skating rink, but when he came back, he reversed the truth and lies…..

On black and white paper, everything was very clear. Yang Yun held the stack of papers, her mind going blank. Before, she knew that He Qianjian was duplicitous, and also suspected that what happened to He Qianmin had something to do with him, but there was no real evidence for that, so it was difficult for her to separate from the mother-child relationship she had with He Qianjian completely.

But now this investigation report, like a basin of cold water, poured over her head, making her feel completely cold while completely awake.

She also had doubts about her husband’s sudden indifference or even coldness towards He Qianjian, and once felt that her husband’s drastic changes were too unreasonable, but only after seeing this did she know that there was a reason for everything.

Later, she went to Yan No. 2 Hospital and saw the injured child with her own eyes. His head was wrapped with thick gauze. Even after so many days, he could still only lie on the bed. Compared with him, don’t know how much better He Qianjian’s condition was now.

Seeing Yang Yun’s indifference, He Qianjian’s heart jumped and then sank. He called out in a low voice, “Mom…..”

Yang Yun interrupted him: “Your father’s handling is not wrong. You injured Chencl Chen’s friend first. The doctor said that his injury is serious enough to call the police, and the child’s injury is on the head. He will take the college entrance examination soon. You are already much better off than him now, so we will leave it at that.”

He Qianjian couldn’t believe what he heard. Was this the mother who would feel distressed when she saw even a scratch on him? Now he had a broken leg, and hundreds of cactus needles had been pierced all over his body, some of which when being pulled out even took his flesh with it, and the pain was so painful that he could hardly even breathe.

As expected, this was blood relationship? In such a short time, her heart had already become biased towards her own biological son. He thought that Yang Yun had at least some affection for him after so many years, but he didn’t expect it to change just like that.

He Qianjian could hardly suppress the darkness in his heart. For so many years, he had been living in the He family. Before they knew his true identity, the He family had treated him so well, so even though he knew that he was not their biological son and kept a distance from them, how could he have no feelings for them at all.

In his last life, his parents were poor people at the bottom of the society. They didn’t receive any higher education. They were petty and vulgar. They treated their children like belongings that could be beaten and scolded easily. Since childhood, if he did something wrong it was his own reasons, and if he did something right it was due to the success of parental education, something that could be gleefully shown off by them.

How many times, when he saw his classmates’ parents who were well-dressed and behaved elegantly, did he envy and complain to the heavens for not giving him such a good birth and family, but after he died once, the heavens seemed to have opened their eyes and actually gave him a chance to choose.

Ordinary parents or rich parents, he didn’t need to think about it at all. He Qianjian chose the latter. At that time, he only thought such a family was glamorous and decent. Later, when he grew up in the He family and saw how a family that possessed wealth and education and were caring towards their children was like, the more grateful he was for his choice on the first day of transmigrating, and the more afraid that one day Jiang Chen would come back and take everything from him.

Therefore, he tried his best to disguise himself so that everyone in the He family would like him. He wanted to live like those blessed sons of heaven he wanted to be the most in his previous life, and he also wanted to have the warmth of family that he never had in his previous life.

However, Jiang Chen’s appearance shattered all his fantasies.

A biological child was a biological child, even if they had eighteen years of familial affection, even if he tried to please them so much, He Yanfeng and Yang Yun still chose their own biological child without hesitation over him.

He Yanfeng could see through the resentment and unwillingness in He Qianjian’s eyes at a glance, as well as the little bit of sadness, but he was extremely disappointed in He Qianjian now. If it wasn’t for the fact that Jiang Chen’s car accident involving the hitman hadn’t been clarified, he might have immediately kicked He Qianjian out of the house.

“This matter is settled like this.” He Yanfeng said lightly: “No matter who asks, you can only say that you slipped and fell off the balcony, including your grandparents.”

He Qianjian gritted his teeth, hating so much that he almost tasted blood in his mouth, and then slowly raised his head: “What if I tell Grandpa?”

He Yanfeng narrowed his eyes slightly, the coldness in his eyes was self-evident.

“If Grandpa knew that Jiang Chen is such a person, will he let him come back to the He family so easily?”

He Qianjian had always been afraid of He Yanfeng. Even if he was reborn, he was still intimidated by the oppressive feeling of his cold face, just like the natural fear of students for teachers and employees for superiors. Since childhood, he had never dared to talk back to He Yanfeng, playing the role of the mature and excellent eldest son who always obeyed him.

But now, seeing that He Yanfeng abandoned him without hesitation for Jiang Chen, and thinking of the embarrassment and fear he had experienced during this period of time, the resentment in his heart could no longer be concealed.

“Jiang Chen is ruthless, cold-blooded and cruel, arrogant to the point of lawlessness. He dared to break into the house and break my leg and force me to jump off the balcony even before he was officially admitted to the He family. It shows what he is capable of doing when he really does come back!” He Qianjian’s tone sounded suppressed and also concealed sharpness: “If Grandpa knows, he will definitely not let this kind of person who may disturb the harmony of the He family and ruin the reputation of the He family come back!”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

“Do you think your grandpa will still stand by you after knowing that you attacked Jiang Chen’s friends first?” He Yanfeng’s words were calm and mild: “His own grandson versus other people’s children, you have been using this status since childhood to do many things for yourself, so you should be very clear who the old gentleman will lean towards in the end.”

“Besides, you stayed in the hospital for three days, and the old gentleman and the old madam didn’t come to see you. Do you really think they don’t know about this?”

At this, He Qianjian froze, his face turning pale inch by inch.

After Becoming The Tyrant CH 119 The Glory Of The Alchemists

“This is the dock of the castle?”

The King stood facing the wind on a flat stone like a stand, looking down from a height. Blackstone Castle was built with a huge sharp and steep mountain as its skeleton. From a distance, the whole castle looked like a forest of iron spears pointing directly at the sky, with spiers and peaks of different sizes mixing together.

The place where the Devil brought the King was on the west side of the castle, where there was a huge mountain wall that fell straight down as if it had been split by someone. Under the mountain wall, there were continuous sand and wilderness that spread out. One couldn’t see any place that could be equated with a dock at all.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Looking at this barren beach, the Devil seemed to recall the past. He took the King’s hand and guided the King to touch the mountain wall.

“It has sensed your arrival.”

The King put his hand on the mountain wall, and felt a vibration coming from the deep underground through the rocks. There seemed to be an indescribable joy in the vibration.

“It has been waiting for you for a long time,” said the Devil, “please give it an order.”

He handed the bone scepter to the King.

At some point, black butterflies were already swirling around the King and the Devil. The wind blew at the King’s silver hair, he withdrew his hand from the rock, and took the bone scepter handed to him by the Devil. On the King’s finger, the bone ring, a symbol of authority, had some new changes at some point, and the patterns on the bone ring became more complex and elaborate than before.

The Devil’s eyes glanced over the ring, and he hummed an ancient melody in his heart while holding the black umbrella.

Greed and ill-gotten gains and pride and ill-judgment were back in place and reunited. This time, how would those guys stop him and His Majesty?

“Things that have been forgotten, shall all come out of the ground.”

The Devil heard the order from the King beside him.

The pale cold moonlight in the sky condensed into a beam, gathered together, and suddenly fell from the sky, cutting down from the sky like some god’s sharp blade, and spearing through the hard rock.

At the base of the Legrand First Military Department near The Thousand Knives Peak, the skeletons who were mining rocks rolled down from the mountain. Blacksmiths in the iron-smithing department stood in front of the fire and saw the hammers and pieces of iron they had placed on their tables jump and clank as they were shaken. The military designers on the experimental field had to hold on to the heavy iron cannons to stand firm amidst the shaking of the ground.

Everyone looked at the Blackstone Castle where the beam of light fell, not knowing what happened there.

“Minister! Look, Minister!”

A military designer suddenly shouted, and he pointed to the sky.

“The sky——the sky is broken!”

His voice was sharp and shrill, frightened and shocked.

Everyone raised their heads upon hearing the voice.

In the dark red sky, the beam of light had gradually dissipated. Instead, a crimson and almost black crack appeared in the sky instead, and there was a ray of molten gold-like light spilling from the crack, getting brighter and brighter, and finally as if the sky couldn’t bear the pressure, the blocked things burst out from the crack.

At that moment, Raul only felt that he saw a long river.

It was not the Milky Way flowing down from the crack, but like a crack in the thick soil, the magma that had been suppressed in the depths of the earth for thousands of years roaring out and turning into a waterfall, connecting the sky and the earth. Compared with that long river of magma, the rain of sulfur and fire that fell from the sky in the past instantly appeared more like a drizzle.

A long river of lava cascaded towards Blackstone Castle.

Everyone could only hear the sound of rushing water like waves, and they looked at each other in amazement.

Click.

With a slight sound, the Devil opened the black umbrella and held it above the King’s head, blocking the rain of magma for the King. The place where they stood was just right, on the sharp cliff, and the magma waterfall spilled down over their heads, continuously pouring into the barren rocky beach at the bottom of the cliff.

The vicissitudes of life that could only be completed in hundreds of millions of years were being staged in front of the King at that moment.

With the filling of magma, an increasingly large lake gradually appeared under the black rock cliff, and it continued to encroach outwards, like a dry seabed slowly recovering. The magma poured from the sky created thousands of layers of huge waves, and hit the hard cliff with great force, rumbling like thunder.

“How can it be a dock without the sea?”

The Devil explained to the King with a smile.

The King stared at the gradually accumulating magma sea of fire, in which a huge black shadow slowly floated upwards.

Raul and the others couldn’t see clearly what happened after the moonlight beam fell just now, but the King and the Devil could see it clearly. The beam of light cut through the solid rock on the ground like a sword, and something was slowly rising from the ground.

——That was the dock of the castle.

“Splash”, “splash”, amidst the loud sound of water, the dock that had been buried underground for many years broke through the billowing sea of fire and appeared in front of the King bit by bit.

The walls on both sides of the gigantic dock were as high as hills, and the front and rear ends were open. It floated on the sea of fire, shaped like a huge sunken ship. Above the dock, there were many closed compartments divided vertically and horizontally. The metal winch rotated, and the friction made a screeching sound. The water tanks of the dock were opened one by one, and the magma was discharged from the front and rear ends along the exquisitely designed drainage grooves. As the magma was gradually drained away, the entire dock, which was as huge as a small town, was completely visible again.

“Your battleships are here.”

The Devil raised his umbrella, looked up into the sky and said to the King.

At this time, the barren beach on the west side of Blackstone Castle had been covered by magma, turning into a sea of molten gold. The magma falling from the sky gradually lessened, and finally turned from rivers and waterfalls into a pouring rain of fire.

And from the crack, several black shadows sailed out, heading towards the Blackstone Castle, getting closer and closer.

The King looked up, and he somewhat understood why the Devil said that they would surprise the lords. The gradually enlarged shadow of the battleships were reflected in his pupils.

From Blackstone Castle to the military heavy industry base, everyone was looking up to the sky, and they saw——

An evil dragon.

………………

Witch Griselda and Captain Hawkins stood on the deck, the sailors staggering to and fro. After they sailed into the whirlpool that appeared in the open sea, everything went dark. Only the sound of rumbling water could be heard in their ears, and the ghost ship was shrouded in a layer of black mist like a dome. They didn’t know what the sound of water outside was, they just felt that the world was spinning.

Time seemed to have passed as long as a century.

Gradually, the sense of dizziness of constant rotation finally disappeared, and after the hull shook, they felt themselves rushing out of the tunnel-like vortex.

The thick black mist covering the ghost ship seeped into the gaps of the ghost ship’s hull like flowing water, and the vision of Griselda and Hawkins gradually ceased to be completely dark.

They had arrived in hell.

When this cognition flashed through their minds, they soon realized that they were floating in the sky. Over their heads was a dark red and depressing sky, as if it was just within reach, and a huge, thin and cold crescent moon hung not far from them. There were also large swaths of fireballs falling around them, and the air was cold and dry and full of an acrid scent.

As Griselda quickly surveyed this true hell, she heard the pirates exclaim.

“Jenny? Jenny?”

Feeling something, Griselda subconsciously took two steps on the deck, calling out to the autonomous consciousness of the ghost ship with which she had a special contract.

But before Jenny could answer her, Griselda had already seen the changes on the ghost ship.

The decks turned over one by one, and liquid metal flowed out from nowhere, covering the spliced wooden boards. Some pirates were caught off guard and fell from the deck into the cabin. Just as the pirates exclaimed, the ancient ghost ship seemed to have wiped off a thick layer of dust, revealing a brand new brilliance.

In a short moment, the ancient wooden ship turned into a huge black iron ship that they had never seen before.

“What happened?”

Hawkins put his hand on the railing, and the cold touch told him that he was seeing correctly, and the railing had turned into cold metal.

Griselda was not able to get an answer from Jenny because the changes were still going on.

A series of “click”, “click” like gears sounded. Under the surprised eyes of the pirates, every structure of the ghost ship’s hull was rapidly changing and expanding, giving people the feeling that the bones that had been curled up for a long time were being unfolded one by one. The deck was extended, the mast was raised, and the giant sails like dragon scales were raised automatically, while on both sides of the hull, the slanted and drooping oars were raised automatically, and the liquid metal also covered them.

The oars showed jaw-dropping changes. They were brought together to form iron bones like bat wings, and the black iron spread thinly, covering those iron bones, like sails and like wings. After the last piece was reassembled, gigantic wings spread out on both sides of the hull——how could these be bat wings, they were so ferocious and huge, more like the wings of a legendary dragon instead.

It was indeed a dragon.

The hull was still deforming, the dragon bones of the hull was bent upwards, and the ramming angle on the bow imitating the dragon became lifelike at this moment, as ferocious and majestic as the rebirth of the dragon. The metal mechanism turned, and the dragon head on the bow let out a frightening roar.

It had been covered in dust for thousands of years, but one day the dust finally faded away, and the taboo works of alchemists thousands of years ago finally reappeared in the world.

This was the work of mortals who truly frightened and angered the high gods for the first time in the age when the gods prevailed.

The Dragon Wing Battleship.

As long as anyone sees it, they would never doubt why in the age of legends, alchemists were regarded as the strongest power of mankind. They had wisdom beyond imagination, wonderful ideas, and arrogant pride. When the evil dragon flew over people’s heads, ordinary people trembled and crawled on the ground, but the alchemists traced the shape of the evil dragon and proudly created  wings that belonged to humans.

They were the genius representatives of human beings in the age of legends.

They created the Dragon Wing Battleship, giving human beings the wings to soar into the sky.

Four Dragon Wing Battleships lined up in the sky, casting huge shadows. The dragon head of Blackstone Castle sensed something, raised itself upwards again, and roared to the sky.

The sky and the earth were full of the roars of dragons.

The majestic creations of the ancient times shocked the viewers thousands of years later, the magma galloped and converged into a mighty river, and mortals slaved the dragon to maneuver in the sky.

All the sleeping, lurking, and buried things would eventually break out of the ground and be reborn from the ashes.

Shen Zhen found that Qin Xing’s mood improved, at least it was not like the previous two days of having a dark expression on his face every day, anyone knowing he was unhappy at just a glance. When Qin Xing was in a good mood, his work efficiency also became higher. Recently, he now went home an hour or two earlier than usual every day, and didn’t bring home any documents. All the materials were stored and remained filed, and he didn’t even turn on the computer when he had nothing to do.

“What did you do to Liu Huan? His secretary has been contacting me recently.” Shen Zhen took out his mobile phone, Liu Huan’s secretary Zhang Zixin had been sending him messages for the past few days, basically explaining to him how the rumors spread.

Shen Zhen thought this secretary was quite interesting, and his words were also quite amusing. He even said that he wanted to hire Zhang Zixin, but unfortunately the other party didn’t accept.

It was a pity. With such a treasure by his side, his work would be much easier.

Qin Xing reached out and hugged Shen Zhen into his arms, saying softly, “Just teaching him a lesson.”

Shen Zhen was speechless: “Liu Group’s stock has fallen like that, and this is just a lesson?”

Qin Xing said seriously: “Warning to future troublemakers.”

When Qin Xing first took over the Qin family, it was not that no one or the media didn’t want to spread rumors about him.

But his methods at that time were very tyrannical. If any entertainment gossip dared to write about his gossip, he could drive others out of the industry.

In short, the industry’s default rule was that no one could say anything about Qin Xing. Qin Xing used to have a bad temper, and he only began to restrain himself after he was twenty-five years old. Now, some people who were not familiar with his past would think that he was a gentleman, a nice guy.

But the word gentle actually had nothing to do with Qin Xing.

Although he was always smiling, it didn’t mean that he had a good temper.

It was just that it was not as easy to get angry as before.

What Shen Zhen didn’t expect, he thought that Liu Huan would not come back after being so fiercely deflated. After all, Qin Xing would not keep targeting him forever. All he had to do was wait a while, and when Qin Xing’s anger subsided, things would eventually go back to normal.

However——

Looking at Liu Huan standing at the door, Shen Zhen sighed helplessly and welcomed him in.

With a smile on his face, Liu Huan looked very respectful. It was the first time Shen Zhen saw Liu Huan like this, so he couldn’t help but look twice more out of curiosity, which made Liu Huan very embarrassed.

Of course, Qin Xing also saw Liu Huan, and looked Liu Huan up and down with disdain in his eyes.

Shen Zhen still welcomed Liu Huan in, and he wondered how Liu Huan even passed the gate of the building.

But if you think about it a little bit, you would know that Liu Huan could always find a way to come up, as long as someone in the building was willing to help prove that he was a friend or relative who was a guest, or simply bring him up together.

This couldn’t be blamed on the doorman either.

“Mr. Liu.” Shen Zhen greeted with a smile, “Have a seat.”

Liu Huan sat on the sofa, and when Qin Xing stared at him, he felt his heart was about to pop out of his chest, nothing could compare to offending Qin Xing. But on the surface he had to maintain a polite demeanor. He smiled at Qin Xing: “CEO Qin, I haven’t seen you for a while.”

Qin Xing also smiled: “What a rare sight.”

Liu Huan also wouldn’t speak directly about his request. He first uttered some pleasantries, and then said: “I didn’t make it clear what happened before, and I didn’t intend to damage your image.”

Qin Xing raised his eyebrows and looked at Liu Huan.

Sweat beaded on Liu Huan’s forehead, he forced himself to remain calm, and waited for Qin Xing to speak.

Qin Xing glanced at Shen Zhen, and Shen Zhen shrugged, expressing that you could say whatever you want, so don’t worry about me.

Only then did Qin Xing say: “CEO Liu didn’t seem to clarify it after, did you?”

Liu Huan wanted to say that he had clarified, but it was useless. Rumors spread quickly, but no one would spread the truth.

But he knew it was useless to say that now.

Qin Xing suddenly said: “It seems that you have to make it up to me, don’t you?”

Liu Huan: “CEO Qin can speak directly, as long as I am capable, I will do it.”

He had been driven crazy by the stock drop lately.

Qin Xing smiled and said, “CEO Liu has a secretary.”

Liu Huan was taken aback, but nodded anyway.

Qin Xing added: “Xiao Zhen likes him very much.”

Liu Huan understood now, but he said: “My secretary has a very big temper, I’m worried…..”

Qin Xing: “I thought CEO Liu was sincere.”

Liu Huan said: “At least my secretary must agree to this matter.”

Qin Xing: “En?”

Liu Huan’s sweat dripped down: “I’ll discuss it with him.”

Shen Zhen didn’t expect that Qin Xing still remembered that he had said that Liu Huan’s secretary was interesting.

After Liu Huan left, Shen Zhen asked Qin Xing, “You wanted to let him off a long time ago.”

Qin Xing smiled and said, “We must teach him a lesson.”

Shen Zhen: “That secretary is very important to him?”

Qin Xing smiled and said: “I investigated him before. Except for that secretary, even the people who followed him in the most difficult period were fired by him in the later stage. He is a lone wolf who only believes in himself. But at the side of this kind of person, there is a secretary who he hasn’t changed despite seven to eight years passing, of course, there is a reason.”

Shen Zhen: “The secretary is not his property, and he may not agree.”

Qin Xing: “We’ll find out later.”

The secretary was only there to work, not Liu Huan’s slave. Liu Huan could not command the other, so if the secretary himself refused, Qin Xing would not continue to target Liu Huan, but find another ladder to go down.

Shen Zhen threw an arm around Qin Xing and said with a smile, “You did not plan to leave no room for maneuver from the very beginning.”

Qin Xing covered Shen Zhen’s hand: “Of course, I will still accept it when Liu Huan shows weakness. He is extreme and conceited and if he really was pushed into a corner and swriously hit back, I will also have a headache.”

“I wouldn’t have cared about this before, but it’s different now.”

Shen Zhen didn’t understand, and asked, “What’s the difference?”

Qin Xing’s voice was gentle enough to drip water: “I have you now, no matter what, we must consider our family.”

Although there were only two people in this family, but the word family was not only used to describe the number of people.

Shen Zhen used to think that he was a hard-hearted person, but now Qin Xing said a few nice words and he couldn’t bear it anymore. He grabbed Qin Xing’s hand, dragged Qin Xing up from the sofa, and said in a hurry: “Let’s go.”

Qin Xing smiled and said, “Where?”

Shen Zhen pushed Qin Xing from behind: “To the bedroom, I want to indulge during the daytime.”

Qin Xing didn’t hold back, and laughed out loud.

Shen Zhen had become more and more adorable and straightforward.

Probably after the open and honest conversation between the two, Shen Zhen was completely different, and he became more and more willing to express himself.

Qin Xing was pleased with Shen Zhen’s change.

He always hoped that Shen Zhen could face himself and him more frankly.

The curtains were drawn, and the room was plunged into darkness. There seemed to be a more ambiguous mood in the darkness. In this private space, the smell of each other was on the tips of their noses, and they could feel each other’s breath when they kissed.

Between lovers, even the smell of sweat was an aphrodisiac.

Shen Zhen touched Qin Xing’s skin and came away with Qin Xing’s sweat on his hands. He could feel Qin Xing’s muscles and strength. At the beginning, he could still maintain a trace of clarity, but later on, he became more and more lost to the pleasure.

He didn’t even know if he had made embarrassing noises or not, he only knew to wrap himself tighter around Qin Xing, more and more, wanting nothing more than to integrate Qin Xing into his own flesh and blood.

That way they would never separate.

——

Liu Huan, who returned to the company, was in a bad mood. He sat on his chair, not even wanting to drink a sip of water, and had a splitting headache, his feelings conflicted. On the one hand, he knew that Qin Xing’s request was very low and that he intended to let him off, on the other hand, he didn’t want Zhang Zixin to be Shen Zhen’s secretary.

Who knew if Shen Zhen and Qin Xing had any special hobbies.

“Zhang Zixin.” Liu Huan called his secretary’s name in a hoarse voice.

Zhang Zixin was slacking off and watching videos. He could do something relaxing after finishing his work, this was discussed with Liu Huan long ago. When he heard Liu Huan’s voice, he asked strangely: “What is it?”

Liu Huan took a deep breath. He knew that Zhang Zixin would definitely not agree. Then he would go to Qin Xing again. Liu Huan said, “Qin Xing wants you to be Shen Zhen’s secretary. He mentioned it to me today. If you don’t want to, I will reject him.”

But who knew that Zhang Zixin immediately asked, “Really?”

Liu Huan: “Really.”

Zhang Zixin: “Great! CEO Shen asked me before, I thought he was teasing me, so I didn’t agree. I was afraid that if I agreed too quickly, he would have a bad impression of me. It seems that he really likes me!”

“Just like I said before, for a piece of gold like me, there must be someone out there with good sight.” Zhang Zixin said proudly, “CEO Liu, although you are great, I have been working by your side for seven to eight years, and I have long wanted to change my work environment.”

Zhang Zixin found that Liu Huan had nothing to say, and continued: “I can finally ignore those exes of yours! CEO Shen is simply an angel! I love him!”

If Zhang Zixin paid attention, he would definitely find that Liu Huan’s expression looked as if he had eaten sh*t.

Liu Huan: “You won’t miss me at all?”

Zhang Zixin: “I will.”

Liu Huan seemed to have been comforted a little. Just as he was about to speak, Zhang Zixin said, “So, if I go to CEO Shen’s side, will it be a resignation here or a firing? If it’s a resignation, will I get the next three months’ salary compensation? If not, can I go through the dismissal process?”

Liu Huan…..Liu Huan was completely dumbfounded.

Zhang Zixin finally realized that Liu Huan was in a bad mood, and quickly said: “Don’t worry, you see, such an excellent person like me have been with you for so long, so it can be seen that you are still quite capable, and you will definitely be able to recruit someone who will just be a little lacking to me, but that’s still a comparably excellent secretary.”

Liu Huan: “…..Leave.”

Zhang Zixin quickly packed up his things, and asked, “I’ve organized all the documents into categories. If you recruit a new secretary, I can come and help.”

Before Zhang Zixin left, he said, “Does CEO Shen have any personal hobbies? Or any habits?”

“Forget it, you definitely don’t know, I’ll ask myself when the time comes.”

When Zhang Zixin left the office, Liu Huan still couldn’t recover. How could Zhang Zixin abandon him so easily?

At this moment, the door of the office was pushed open again, Liu Huan turned his head eagerly, and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Zhang Zixin’s face.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Liu Huan opened his mouth: “You…..” Sure enough, you still can’t bear to part with me.

Zhang Zixin said in a low voice: “I still have a key for your house. I will mail it to you when the time comes, and won’t be coming over. Okay, I’m going now.”

After speaking, he left excitedly like a wild horse being let loose.

Liu Huan shouted in his heart: Am I so lacking in charm?!
