Chapter 14 – Career Start

Duan Shu Tong got up to open the door.

Cen Ning handed over the insulated containers and smiled: “Young Master Duan, today you started at the company, did you see He Run?”

Duan Shu Tong froze for a moment. “Director He? Do you know him?”

“Haha,” Cen Ning nodded. “It’s such a coincidence. Senior Brother He and I were schoolmates. He was ahead of me by two years. We were in a club together and we still keep in contact often after graduating.”

Duan Shu Tong put the insulation containers on the table. “Director He’s skills are pretty good.”

Translations are by vmnovels [dot] com, if you’re reading this anywhere else, then it was stolen.

Seeing him say this, Cen Ning could only sigh in his heart. This was only his first day at work, how could he know how good the other person was at his work? Young Master Duan saying this meant that the two were not familiar with each other.

It seemed that Senior Brother He hadn’t changed at all, and still didn’t like to engage in interpersonal relationships.

If it weren’t because he was overly stubborn, with his abilities he didn’t have to go so far as to leave Yan City back then and end up in the county soured by the loss of his hopes.

Young Master Duan was not a boss at present, but he was much more important than Zhai Jun.

“Let me be open, Young Master Duan, Senior Brother He was the top of his grade back then. All the professors in the department regarded him highly.” Cen Ning used a casual tone of voice to unobtrusively praise He Run.

Duan Shu Tong was no longer the former Young Master Duan, naturally he heard the deeper meaning within Cen Ning’s words.

He could not help but smile. “Brother Cen need not worry. Director He’s ability is obvious to everyone.”

Cen Ning took care not to over do it. “With Young Master Duan here, the Spring and Autumn Hall will definitely be more and more prosperous.”

“Then I’ll borrow your words of luck.”

At nine a.m. the next day, Duan Shu Tong took the application materials and went to Lab No. 1 to look for He Run.

He Run had set aside Lab No. 2 for Duan Shu Tong. It seemed like the two labs would be close to each other based on their numbers, but they were actually separated on opposite ends of the floor.

“Director He.”

Under the surprised and curious gazes of others, Duan Shu Tong walked up to He Run with a perfect poker face.

“Lab No. 2 wants to declare a project. You are the director. Are you free to check it?”

He Run stopped what he was doing and said without the slightest hesitation: “I agree.”

Duan Shu Tong: ???

Other researchers: ???

No one spoke.

He Run finally looked at Duan Shu Tong: “You need me to sign it, right? I’ll find a pen.”

Duan Shu Tong reached out to stop He Run. His originally mild expression vanished without a trace.

His tone was very serious when he said, “You didn’t even take a single look and you’re agreeing just like that?”

Silence descend in the laboratory, and no one dared to breathe too loudly.

No matter how ferociously they roasted Duan Shu Tong in the group chat, no one had the guts to say anything directly to his face.

He Run seemed to not be aware. With natural movements, he took the project information and thumbed through it once. His expression remained the same.

“This project is very good and has great development prospects. If it can be successfully developed, it will definitely attract many female customers.”

His eyes swept around in a circle and finally located a pen in a nook. He raised his hand to sign the paper.

Duan Shu Tong’s expression was even gloomier. He rarely lost his temper, but He Run’s behavior just bumped up against his principles.

This was a great disrespect for any R&D personnel.

He took back the folder without any expression.

“Director He, if this is your work attitude, in my humble opinion, you are not suitable for this position.”

The rest of the research team was thinking: WTF! This young master appeared out of nowhere and is going to fire the director on his second day! The workplace drama is finally about to begin!

Who told the other person to be a rich young master? He didn’t even want a “vice” in his title.

[T/N: Technically, Duan Shu Tong is supposed to be the vice director of R&D at the moment. He took over for the vice director that left before he came. But when the other characters address him, they all call him “Director Duan” and not Vice Director Duan. Even the general manager, Zhai Jun, calls him “Director Duan,” while calling the actual director of R&D, He Run, by the nickname of “Xiao He” back in chapter 12.]

He Run didn’t speak and there was no extra emotion in the eyes behind the glasses. It seemed like the scene of being fired was already commonplace to him.

Duan Shu Tong turned around, wanting to leave, but then he thought of some of the materials he saw yesterday. Pity birthed from his heart and he asked directly: “I tried the product that you directed. It was well thought out and there was skill, so why were the results unsatisfactory?”

He Run’s expression was indifferent, “I have no skills.”

Translations by Vanilla Muse.

Duan Shu Tong was almost angered to the point of laughing. As an insider, the date on the project information was clear at a glance. He believed his judgment, but the director obviously refused to communicate with him further.

“Without skills, you entered a big company like Yalan right after you graduated and quickly became the leader of the R&D team. Is such a thing possible?”

He has seen He Run’s resume. It was impossible for it to be pugilistic wankery*.

[*T/N: all talk and no walk]

He Run was silent. He lowered his eyes and no longer looked at Duan Shu Tong.

“Whether you have any skills or not, since you are the director of the R&D Department, you have to strictly check the project. I am leading the project of Lab No. 2. If you think it meets the standards, you agree, if you think it does not meet the standards, then you can disagree,” Duan Shu Tong said seriously.

There was deathly silence in the laboratory.

After a moment, He Run finally looked up at him. His expression was still indifferent, but he did not continue to be half-hearted.

He reached out: “Okay.”

Chapter 20 – Prelude

“None of your business!” Lin Li Er heard Lin Jiao Jiao’s mother said her brother was an odd jobs man and hissed angrily at her.

“I heard that it was a big package. It should be a lot of money, ba.” Lin Jiao Jiao’s mother probed unrelentingly.

“Not telling you,” Lin Li Er retorted forcefully.

Wu shi also did not want to divulge the information to her. She knew that wealth should not be exposed. “Not much. Aunt Lin*, our family still has matters to attend to, and it’s not convenient for me to entertain you. Please return, ba.”

[*T/N: 大娘 da niang – “aunt” used as a polite address, not actual relative]

“Oh my! Are you putting on airs now that you’re the wife of a xiu cai? Even if you don’t say, I know. Just an odd jobs man, nothing more. I bet he sent a big bag of copper coins back. Ha ha ha ha.” Lin Jiao Jiao’s mother saw that neither of them was willing to say, so she speculated maliciously.

Translations are by vmnovels [dot] com, if you’re reading this anywhere else, then it was stolen.

Lin Li Er took out a big broom to drive her away. “Are you leaving or not! Leaving or not!”

Lin Jiao Jiao’s mother left Lin Da Zhuang’s house, cursing and stumbling at the same time. “You damn girl, so spicy. Be careful, you won’t get marry like that.”

It was almost noon when Zhang shi arrived at her in-laws house. Everyone in the Qin family was there. Lin Jin Er was also very happy to see her mother.

“What brings you to visit, Mother?” When Qin Kai Xing saw her, he also came forward to give his mother-in-law a salute.

Zhang shi first gave her regards to the father-in-law and mother-in-law of her daughter, and then she saw her eldest grandson, Cong Ge, and the baby twins.

After that, she told them all about the letter that Lin Jia Bao sent back. When the Qins heard this, they were also happy for their in-laws.

“Mother-in-law, when are father-in-law and Jia Wen preparing to set out?” Qin Kai Xing asked. He had an idea.

“They are preparing to head out mid-August. It will take half a month’s journey.” Zhang shi replied. The family had discussed it. Only Lin Da Zhuang and Lin Jia Wen would be going. She also really wanted to go, but her eldest daughter-in-law was going to give birth in October, and there were three children in the family who all needed looking after.

“Consider if this is possible or not. How about I accompany them to the capital this time? I’ve never been to the capital. It just so happens that I could take this chance to go take a look. There are some goods in the shop. I’ll bring them along with me, and scope out some social connections. These products are all good. It’s just that the decorative designs around here are a little out of date, but maybe it’ll look fresh to the people in the capital. At that time, I will also buy some popular cloth from the capital and bring it back.” Qin Kai Xing was very business savvy, and he has calculated everything.

Old Master Qin heard this and also agreed very much. His son had already gotten married and started his career, so it’s not bad for him to go out and learn through experience. He said to Zhang shi: “Mother-in-law, ah, Kai Qing said it well. Let him go along. We have a horse carriage and everything else. You don’t need to spend money to rent one. I’ll also send along a few more shop assistants* and servant guards** as escort. This way, the journey will be a bit safer.”

[*T/N: 伙计 huo ji – can mean “partner, buddy, waiter, servant, or shop assistant,” so I chose the meaning that seemed most compatible with the context]

[**T/N: 家丁 jia ding – servant hired to keep guard, run errands, etc]

“That’s a good sentiment. Thank you, in-laws. When I go back, I will talk to them about it.” Zhang shi naturally agreed.

At noon, the Qin family enthusiastically had Zhang shi stay for lunch. In the afternoon, they sent her back via horse carriage.

When Zhang Hui Niang returned home, she told them about the Qin family’s intentions, and everyone felt good about it. After that, Lin Da Zhuang’s family got busy.

Just when Lin Da Zhuang’s family was happily renovating the house and making preparations to go to the capital, Xuan Yuan Han Cheng was also drawing up his plan.

In the blink of an eye, July arrived. Xuan Yuan Han Cheng rejoined morning court. The way he dealt with matters in court was increasingly mature and slick. The court officials all sensed that His Highness, the crown prince, was getting more powerful and intense with each passing day. They had confidence in his abilities, and were also afraid of him.

In the afternoon as usual, Xuan Yuan Han Cheng came to Yong Shou Palace to spend time with his mother, chatting and eating snacks.

The empress was very pleased that the crown prince often came to accompany her. Her second prince, Xuan Yuan Han Qi, preferred physical activities, and didn’t come over as often. In comparison, the crown prince was more considerate, often coming to keep her company. All the married women that paid visits to the empress would praise the crown prince for his filial piety.

Translations by Vanilla Muse.

“Cheng Er, look, in just a few more days it will be the Qi Qiao Festival*. I invited some unwed women of court to enter the palace for dinner. What do you think? How about we take this opportunity to first help you select a side concubine? Right now, you only have three concubines by your side. That’s too few, and they are all old by now. I don’t think you much like them anymore.”

The empress was thinking of getting a concubine first. When affairs with the Xue family were settled, then they could take their time and carefully choose a crown princess. After all, she would become the future mother of the country. She must be a ruling mother to the land. So they could not be sloppy or careless.

[*T/N: Qi Qiao Festival a.k.a. Qixi Festival is the Chinese version of Valentine’s Day. It celebrates the annual meeting of two lovers, the cowherd and the weaver girl, in Chinese mythology. It falls on the 7th day of the 7th lunar month.]

Chapter 86 (33.3)

Su Shi’s experience points were crumbling. He couldn’t help taking a step forward, but Esmond caught him tightly by the wrist.

A figure in a white robe walked slowly out of the palace.

An abrupt hush descended upon the square. The guards knelt down on one knee. The people were quiet and their eyes fixed upon the person coming closer.

Surrey’s eyes fell on the arriving person. His eyes narrowed, and there was a sudden panic in his eyes: “Y, Your Majesty—“

[T/N: Surrey actually calls him 教皇陛下, which roughly translates to “Your Majesty the Pope” or “Supreme Pontiff, Your Majesty.” I found that a bit clunky in English, so I shortened it to simply Your Majesty in dialogue.]

“Faith is innocent. People gather here under the guidance of oracles. No one has the right to disperse them, let alone the servants of God.”

The pope spoke slowly, glancing at the crowd.

His voice was not loud, but it clearly projected into everyone’s ears.

Translations are by vmnovels [dot] com, if you’re reading this anywhere else, then it was stolen.

“We must admit that this is undoubtedly a mistake made by the papacy, and it almost cost a loyal paladin to pay the price of his life. It is not an individual who caused this mistake, but rather, those who once chose to misunderstand, and all the people who chose to easily trust in us.”

Shame appeared in everyone’s eyes, and the original intense emotions gradually calmed down.

The pope seemed very satisfied, and he nodded slightly for a moment before continuing.

“We regret to inform the public that Bishop Esmond had disappeared not long ago. And the one who disappeared with him is the paladin who we also want to urgently see, who had just been pardoned by the oracle.”

“We swear at the feet of God that we will continue to investigate the truth, no matter how complicated the secret is underneath, we will make people convinced. The sun will rise again.”

When he had finished speaking, he turned around and slowly returned to the palace.

Surrey wore an embarrassed face. He promptly followed close behind. The guards also silently retreated.

The gate of the imperial palace closed slowly. A glorious golden flame suddenly descended from the horizon, falling on the mostly shattered stone statue.

When the flame gradually extinguished, the stone statue was actually recovered and it stood silently in the center of the square.

Unlike the original slightly sloppy carving, each and every line of the armor became smooth and fine. The helmet was held in the stone statue’s right hand, revealed a handsome and delicate face.

Unlike the people’s imagination of a brave and powerful Holy Paladin, the stone statue reflected a clear and bright heroic spirit.

The crowd was suddenly unable to speak.

The stone statue smiled faintly, his expression fearless, and he gazed calmly to the front. Obviously, one should not be able to tell anything from the eyes of a stone statue, but everyone seemed to see the firmness and loyalty in those eyes.

Out of the blue, someone started to recite hymns, and everyone’s eyes flickered with emotional light.

No one thought that the pope would have such a clear impression of an ordinary paladin, and those glorious golden flames were almost bright enough to reflect the luster of the sun’s light.

Su Shi’s airway felt knotted up. He turned to look at the calm and tranquil cardinal.

“That stone statue is not good-looking.”

Esmond had good reasons. He looked at Su Shi calmly and rubbed the Holy Paladin’s head comfortingly.

“You’re already disguised. No need to worry.”

Su Shi was not worried, but when looking at the protagonist’s skillful set of beauty techniques, he inexplicably felt some overlap with a certain unreliable god.

Su Shi sighed and dragged Esmond to a secluded corner.

“Aren’t you worried about the pope? He deliberately announced this, maybe he intends to push everything on you…”

“He will do this sooner or later, whether I worry or not, it’s the same.”

Esmond insipidly replied in one sentence. Then he looked at the time and led Su Shi out of the square to a restaurant on the corner.

“Are we also eating?”

Su Shi was dragged forward by him, and he followed the other person’s steps in disbelief.

This was too ridiculous!

How can a protagonist stop for a meal while in the middle of saving the world?!

Translations by Vanilla Muse.

The Holy Paladin beside Esmond was breathing a little harder, but the paladin himself didn’t even notice it. His eyes were still clearly full of anxiety and the hand gripped in Esmond’s was faintly becoming cold.

Esmond’s eyes dimmed, but he held the Holy Paladin’s hand patiently and let the temperature of his palm be transferred to the other’s hand.

“You are continuing to live by the grace of the sun god. Now that there is no sun, you have to eat more, or use some other method to prevent yourself from becoming too weak.”

Solar Energy Su Shi raised his head, stunned. He blinked. “What method?”

Chapter 115.1 – Demanding Dowry

Zheng Bi and An Ke Xin came in with tumultuous momentum. If people didn’t know, they would think that the mother and daughter were coming to interrogate An Zi Ran.

However, before they could break in, Zhong Yue, who was standing guard at the door, stopped the two. Ge Qian An stayed behind in Jun Zi City, so Zhong Yue accompanied them this time.

Zhong Yue was expressionless and looked at them with extreme coldness.

Zheng Bi and An Ke Xin were just about to tell her to scram, but shivered when they were met with her cold stare. They had never seen this woman before. She was probably Fu Wu Tian’s subordinate. In a split second, their tension calmed down.

“Let them come in.”

Fu Wu Tian’s voice came from the study room.

Translations are by vmnovels [dot] com, if you’re reading this anywhere else, then it was stolen.

Zheng Bi and An Ke Xin recognized this voice. They looked at Zhong Yue, suddenly feeling uppity. Their expressions were saying: Your master is letting us in, a slave-servant like you still dare to block us? Why don’t you reflect on your status?

Zhong Yue frowned in disgust and stepped aside to let them in.

Back in Jun Zi City, she heard Ge Qian An mention before that there were two reckless women in the An family. Even when death was breathing down their necks they would still be unaware. This type of people did not deserve any sympathy!

Zheng Bi and An Ke Xin swaggered into the study, but when they saw An Zi Ran, their prideful faces immediately changed into one of pity and misery, their expressions sour, as if they were the actual victims of the entire affair. But they were just trying to win An Zi Ran’s sympathy.

“Big Brother, you must give me justice on my behalf.”

As soon as An Ke Xin walked in, she rushed in front of An Zi Ran, addressing him in a super intimate manner, as if her tit-for-tat with An Zi Ran before her marriage had never happened.

An Zi Ran remembered that An Ke Xin had never called him Big Brother before. Whenever she was in a bad mood, she would directly call him by name. When had she ever called him Big Brother before?

He glanced at An Ke Xin who was standing in front of him. It was only half a year since their last meeting, and she had already made herself into something not human but not ghost either. The scar on her forehead was really big and ugly. Don’t how she knocked her head against the table at that time, but nearly half of her forehead was scarred. There was a scar on her face too. It looked just like someone had struck her with a sharp weapon. An Ke Xin would never harm herself, so it was very likely that someone from the Lin family did it.

The former beautiful girl has now become an ugly young woman. She was still sixteen years old. There were still a few more months before she turned seventeen. She was in the prime of her life, but now she looked like someone in her twenties or thirties.

For An Ke Xin to turn herself into this ghastly figure, An Zi Ran really did not expect this. He only knew that An Ke Xin and Zheng Bi took a tumble in the Lin family, but he never imagined that it would be such a big deal.

“Oh, you want me to give you justice?” An Zi Ran asked insouciantly.

When An Ke Xin saw his expression, her heart could not help but beat like a drum, but in order to retaliate against the Lin family, she could only lower her voice and calm her temper.

“Big Brother, the Lins are intolerable bullies. They not only caused me to knock my forehead on the corner of a table, but they also cut up my face while I was passed out. Now I’ve been completely disfigured. I will not be reconciled until I am avenged!”

As An Ke Xin spoke, she became more and more agitated. Her hands slammed against the table. Because of the unrest in her heart, her ten fingers subconsciously curled into claws. Due to her constant scratching at the walls, her fingernails were practically ruptured, nearly hurting herself. Zheng bi ended up trimming down her nails.

Seeing An Zi Ran’s indifferent expression, Zheng Bi quickly pulled An Ke Xin to her side.

“Mother, what are you doing?” An Ke Xin shouted at her impatiently.

Zheng bi ignored her and looked at An Zi Ran with a simpering expression. “Zi Ran, I know that Ke Xin did wrong. She shouldn’t have killed Lin Xin’s child, but this isn’t entirely Ke Xin’s fault. If it weren’t because Lin Xin refused to touch Ke Xin, and also took a prostitute into the family to humiliate Ke Xin, she would not have done such a radical thing. Besides, even if Ke Xin was really in the wrong, the Lin family shouldn’t have ruined her looks. The most important thing to a girl is her face. If it’s ruined, which man would still want her in the future?”

An Ke Xin covered her ruined face. There was a hint of resentment in her eyes. Lin Xin, and those three cheap women, she would never let them go!

An Zi Ran glanced at Zheng Bi indifferently. At least she had a bit more brains than An Ke Xin. If she had blindly avoided all blame, he definitely would not help them.

Translations by Vanilla Muse.

Right now, An Ke Xin and her mother had notorious reputations in the outside world. If he interfered in this affair without reason, it would adversely affect his reputation instead.

“Zi Ran, I know that this matter puts you in a difficult position, but no matter what, Ke Xin is still your younger sister. Even if you don’t stand up for her, we should at least take back Ke Xin’s dowry. That goddamn Lin family, they still have not returned Ke Xin’s dowry!”

Zheng Bi saw that An Zi Ran was unconcerned, so she could only settle for the next best thing.

But her words really did touch upon the important point.

Although An Ke Xin’s dowry was hers, it was still taken out from the An family’s assets. No matter how wrong An Ke Xin was, according to reason and logic, the Lin family still could not swallow her dowry. Therefore, her dowry must be recovered.

An Zi Ran raised his gaze. “I will handle this matter.”

Chapter 11 – Don’t Like Him

Gu Shuyi was a big fan of the “Four Seasons Food” variety show. Her favorite part was watching the participants pick fresh vegetables from the ground and make their own food.

After listening to Lu Pingyin’s report, she suddenly thought of a possibility: “Since it is a program that you’re sponsoring, how about you go there once?”

“I go there?” Ji Shenxiao frowned. “I am a businessman. What would I do on those shows?”

“The scenery there is good and there is so much to eat. Just take it as an annual leave.” The more Gu Shuyi talked, the more she felt like this was the reason. “You haven’t taken a vacation in four years, right?”

Translations are by vmnovels [dot] com, if you’re reading this anywhere else, then it was stolen.

Ji Shenxiao was the type that would invite a business partner if he were to go on a vacation. There was no need to mention vacationing alone for leisure. He immediately rejected the proposal.

“Mom, I still have a lot of work.”

“Isn’t there still me and Lu Pingying?”

Ms. Gu Shuyi was born from a prestigious household, and in those years she was also an iron lady in the business world. After the death of her husband, she and Ji Shenxiao pulled strongly against the crazy tide* together, and increased the benefits of Huayi Corporation by several times. She only started to delegate power last year and retreat behind the scenes.

[*T/N: pulled strongly against the crazy tide = to try hard to save a desperate crisis]

Ji Shenxiao was silent.

Ms. Gu couldn’t persuade him, so she started to use a different tactic: “Are you already looking down on me? You think I’m old now and can’t do it anymore?”

Ji Shenxiao held his forehead in his hand and said helplessly: “You know that wasn’t what I meant.”

“What’s going to happen if you leave for a month? Go take care of your body, take care of your stomach. It’s only a month. So effortless.”

“I still have work. Stop joking.” Ji Shenxiao tried to persuade in a light tone. “Have Qisheng go.”

“I don’t know where that brat is fooling around. I manage him?” Ms. Gu rolled her eyes gracefully and issued an ultimatum, “If you don’t go to the show, then you go on a blind date!”

Ji Shenxiao: “…”

The overbearing president was also helpless.

*

Before leaving for the “Four Seasons Food” show, Qiu Jin caught up on movies for half a month at home. He was already naturally fair, and he stayed in the movie room for the past dozen or so days catching up on films. After a long absence of sunlight, his skin became whiter and more translucent, like a white glaze.

He exercised everyday, making his spirit improve by several times, and almost recovering to the optimum state of this body.

On this day, he only wore a black short-sleeved T-shirt with jeans. He stepped into a pair of old shoes and headed towards his stop. The refreshing feeling immediately exuded out. There was no greasy and frivolous aura. He was like a lush green pine.

“Qiu-ge, you…” Assistant Liu Wei drove him to the airport. He was a bit afraid to recognize him.

Qiu Jin looked at him through the sunglasses and said lightly: “What’s wrong?”

“No, nothing, get in the car.” Liu Wei, despite being a beta, his knees went weak at Qiu Jin’s attractiveness.

Where did this celestial alpha come from! He was too alpha!! Laozi’s legs were getting soft.

-Beijing International Airport-

Knowing that Xiang Xi was going to fly to Lanhou Island today, fans have been waiting outside the airport with a banner. Seeing a nanny car* parked at the gate of the domestic departure hall, they immediately crowded around.

[*T/N: nanny car – a large van, generally has more than seven seats.]

They originally thought that it was Xiang Xi, but unexpectedly, when the door opened a pair of long legs stepped out, followed by a silver-haired young man wearing sunglasses.

Translations by Vanilla Muse.

The Xi fans blanked out for a bit. Who was this person? Isn’t he too handsome! The shoulders were wide, the legs were long, the silhouette was hidden in depth, and that silver hair shone under the sun.

And then someone exclaimed: “WTF? Is this Dog Qiu? He’s coming back from Korea right?”

[T/N: The person is implying that QJ went and got plastic surgery in Korea and has just come back.]

Dog Qiu was what the haters called Qiu Jin. It originated from Qiu Jin chasing like a dog behind Xiang Xi. At first, it was just a joke. Later, as Qiu Jin became more shameless, the nickname stuck and became imprinted in people’s heads.

Qiu Jin looked up at the girl, who immediately blushed and stammered out: “S… Sorry.”

T/N: I hated translating this chapter and the next chapter. It’s spicy when I’m just reading NSFW content, but translating it is a f*cking headache. The author uses euphemisms in a lot of places, which I understand why, but it’s a puzzle and a half trying to decipher what’s going on. One example is the author uses the word arm (臂 bi) whenever she means butt (屁 pi). And then she would use the word arm normally to mean arm. I was so confused. They’re not even homonyms and the characters look nothing alike in Chinese. *Tears hair out.* I’m really tempted to just skip over the NSFW content… ORZ

Chapter 10.6 – A World With Only Two People

Zhou Yun Sheng was a simple-minded and heartless master.

Even the biggest problem would only perplex him for a moment. After the critical juncture, he would immediately toss it to the back of his head. He stayed in the rumbling computer room for half a day. When he went back, he had forgotten those entanglements, and instead, fantasized about Xue Zi Xuan’s perfect body.

In the last life, in order to protect his loved one until the end of his life, Xue Zi Xuan developed a good habit of fitness. When he was born again in this life, he did not slack off. In just a few months, he exercised his previously decent body into a strong one with wide shoulders, narrow waist, long legs, and strong pectoral and abdominal muscles.

Translations are by vmnovels [dot] com, if you’re reading this anywhere else, then it was stolen.

What did it mean to appear thin with clothes, and to have meat when naked? This was it!

Zhou Yun Sheng recalled the noon’s passion as he walked, and suddenly wrung his hands. Before the Lord God caught him, he was also sixteen years old. He had never had a boyfriend before. Later, he entered the cycle of reincarnation and revolved around the son of fate all day long, so he definitely did not have time to date.

He was just about to be able to eat meat, but was forcefully interrupted, and missed out on Xue Zi Xuan, this high-quality person. Where would he be able to find a better one in the future? Thinking like this, his lower abdomen could not help tightening, and a scorching heat spread through his chest.

Sixteen years old was precisely the time when boys would be full of sexual fantasies about the opposite sex or the same sex. Zhou Yun Sheng, this kind of high IQ teenager, was not an exception. Rather, he was even more proactive. He ran upstairs, intending to eat Xue Zi Xuan before he left the Xue family.

But when he pushed open the door and saw the handsome young man seriously handling documents at the desk, he deflated like a punctured beach ball. He lost his nerve at once. He slowly went over. He panted* for a long time without knowing what to say.

[*T/N: 哼哧 – to breath hard after running]

How could Xue Zi Xuan not notice the teenager’s approach? His cheeks were bright red, and the tip of his nose was stained red. He looked absolutely adorable. But his watery peach blossom eyes were so confusing, it made one want to forcefully trap him by one’s side and firmly ravage him.

Xue Zi Xuan’s lower abdomen swelled rapidly, and his interrupted desire returned violently, giving him tunnel vision. He put down the file in his hand, took off his jacket slowly, and rolled up his sleeves. In a suppressed voice, he said: “Let’s go shower.”

“Huh? Oh.” Zhou Yun Sheng agreed stupidly.

When Xue Zi Xuan stood up, Zhou Yun Sheng saw that his crotch area was bulged up, and he immediately understood what he meant.

“What, what do you want to do?” He was a bit timid, but overshadowing that was his eagerness to try.

“To continue what we didn’t finish this noon.” Xue Zi Xuan said in a low voice. He pulled the youth into his arms. His scorching breath was full of lust.

Zhou Yun Sheng hesitated for about two seconds, licked his lips, and said: “Okay, let’s hurry up then.” As he spoke, he hooked his index finger into the young man’s waistband.

If the atmosphere was not right, Xue Zi Xuan would laugh out loud. In his last life, he had followed each and every move of the youth through the Internet and private investigators. He knew from the beginning that the teenager that actually wasn’t that bashful. On the contrary, he was very passionate and direct. He lived wantonly and flamboyantly*.

[*T/N: 张扬 – “to display ostentatiously,” meaning he’s not shy about PDA]

But to experience his passion directly, that feeling was completely different. He loved him so much at this very moment that he wanted to swallow the youth into his stomach and become one.

The two were entangled like conjoined twins as they made their way into the bathroom. They turned on the showerhead and eagerly tore each other’s clothes off.

Chapter 85 (33.2)

But this time, a stone statue of a Holy Paladin was set up.

Don’t know if it was to save time or energy, but the stone figure was still wearing heavy armor and a helmet, so the face was not clear at all. It was as if the stone statue could refer to any nameless Holy Paladin.

The people surrounded the stone statue. They knelt down one after another, praying piously and confessing their sins.

Su Shi suddenly had a bad premonition.

Esmond raised an eyebrow. It seemed like he had a hunch, but he was not in a hurry to resolve the doubts for the Holy Paladin beside him. Instead, he just pulled Su Shi forward and continued into the crowd.

“The papacy’s verdict was rejected for the first time in thousands of years. It must be because the trial went wrong and blamed someone who was originally innocent…”

“The oracle already came down, is there still a need to say it?”

“But there have been others that were wrongly sentenced before, yet the oracle did not interfere, because nobody is completely innocent. I did not expect that there would be someone who could really be forgiven under the judgment of the god of light. What a great and pure soul…”

“So this everlasting night must be the Light God’s punishment. The sun will only rise again if we sincerely repent and the papacy admits their error!”

“But the papacy’s sentence on him was for demonization and assassination of the pope. I heard that he also pleaded guilty. Just what kind of truth would make this judgment wrong?”

Su Shi’s stomach started to hurt again.

Looking at the faintly blackening complexion of the Holy Paladin beside him, Esmond lowered his eyes. His gaze was full of smiles. He could not help lifting a hand to rub the other person’s hair.

“Isn’t this great? Why are you not happy?”

“Of course I’m happy, so happy that I’m about to explode.”

Su Shi took a deep breath and looked at the murmuring crowd with a headache. He silently comforted himself.

The pope was indisputable, and right now, the people only believed in his innocence, but they did not have the time to touch upon the full truth. Misunderstandings were still there. He might still be able to save his experience points.

…The last time he thought like this, his tower of experience points collapsed loudly within a few days.

His self-consolation talk was a complete failure.

Su Shi dropped his gaze. As he had planned, he should just rush directly into the papacy right now, and proceed with his plan of self-destructing with the pope.

“Everyone leave! No one is allowed to come in at will!”

Suddenly, an angry shout rang out from the plaza. Guards in heavy armor quickly surrounded the square, expelling people indiscriminately. They also smashed the stone statue mercilessly.

The spear shimmering in the cold light hit the stone statue’s chest heavily and broken stone rained down, hitting the chaotic crowd and immediately sparking cries of pain.

“It’s Surrey, looks like he has also become the pope’s minion.”

Looking at the gloomy expression on the guard, Esmond’s eyes turned cold. He muttered one sentence and then smoothly moved the Holy Paladin, who was next to him, behind him to protect.

Esmond was the cardinal in charge of the prison trial. Under him was Surrey. During the time when he was accompanying Ivan in his escape, it was clear that the other party was fully responsible for all matters on the papacy side.

Esmond had no doubt that if those black-robed pursuers had killed them in the misty forest, then the position of cardinal would definitely go to Surrey.

“The papacy is clearly wrong. Why don’t you dare to admit it?!”

A boy dressed in shabby clothes was so angry that his face was beet red. Squeezed among the crowd, he opened his mouth to loudly say: “Everyone heard the oracle of forgiveness. Do you still want to say that Ivan is guilty?”

In a split second, the boy’s words completely ignited the anger of the crowd. They no longer panicked trying to avoid the falling debris. Their roaring shouts sounded out one after another.

“It must be because you refuse to admit your mistake, and that’s why the god of light sent this everlasting night as a punishment!”

“Esmond is the cardinal. Where has he gone? We have to get him to ask the papacy to change the judgment!”

“I see it now. Ivan did not assassinate the pope at all. Maybe you were the one who did it, and then you framed him for your crime!”

Listening to the roaring of the crowd, Surrey’s face became even paler, and the black gas in his eyes got more intense. He looked like he was about to demonize at any second.

Su Shi’s heart sank.

The priesthood of the papacy has fallen and demonized. Once such news spread, it would surely cause strong panic. Rumors were unstoppable, as long as they continued to develop, sooner or later someone would guess the truth about the pope’s demonization.
