Chapter 68

Su Shi took a deep breath and raised his head to meet Es’s eyes.

Of course he couldn’t take this treasure trove for himself, but he had to bluff the protagonist first. He definitely could not have the other party go in now and just like that discover the truth of the pope’s demonization.

“Because there is a fierce dragon sealed inside of there.”

His fist slowly clenched. His face was already pale, but his eyes were extremely determined, and he looked fixedly at the other person. “Once released, there will be endless disasters…”

Once the truth of the pope’s demonization was known, it would naturally cause fierce turbulence, which was indeed not a lie.

Es was stumped for words. He frowned at Su Shi.

Nothing like that has ever been recorded in any of the books that he has read.

But the Holy Paladin’s expression was so firm and grave that Es felt that if he were to even ask questions then it would be offensive to the secret knowledge passed down for many generations.

After a moment of silence, he finally nodded. “I understand.”

With that said, he walked over to the door and raised his hand, trying to close it again.

Su Shi’s heart throbbed non-stop, looking forward to closing the door as soon as possible, but from the thick fog behind him came the sound of pursuers.

The footsteps this time were much more covert and rapid than before. Even as they listened to the sounds, danger was already closing in.

The pursuers this time seemed to be much more skilled. Hope bloomed in Su Shi as he turned to look into the thick fog, but then out of the blue he heard a low murmured apology.

His heart gave birth to an ominous premonition. Su Shi lifted one leg, wanting to run, but he had only taken a single step when Es picked him up in a bridal carry again.

Wind blew pass his ears and the scenery changed rapidly in front of him. When he finally adjusted to the sudden darkness before him, the door was already gradually closing.

Es held him firmly in one hand, and raised the other hand to release a burst of fire. He cauterized the door until it became an inconspicuous black.

Noticing the movements of the young man in his arms, he lowered his head, and within his gaze there was a trace of apology, “ Sorry, the people outside are very strong. We can only avoid them temporarily. If I really startled the dragon, I will handle it. You don’t have to worry.”

Probably because he was afraid of being heard from the outside, Es’s voice was extremely low and practically right next to Su Shi’s ear.

The arms of a fire-type were broad and warm. Su Shi’s near frozen body was held in that embrace, and a warm breath brushed steadily against his neck, making Su Shi’s ears turn slightly red.

Fortunately, the cave was dark enough. Su Shi took a deep breath and stabilized his heartbeat. Es put him down, and he stood steadily on his feet again. Su Shi looked into the endless cave with a complex mood.

The system had clearly already defaulted the hidden treasure to his possession. He could not only see a list of all the riches within the cave, but also a complete holographic map of the place. Two red dots were blinking by the entrance.

Su Shi suddenly came up with a new idea.

“Follow me…”

Es was still alert for movements from outside the cave. He heard Su Shi say something and subconsciously looked over.

The young Holy Paladin seemed to have made up his mind suddenly and was reaching out to him. Torches on both sides ignited with raging flames. The reflection of firelight flickered quietly within Su Shi’s eyes.

Es’s heart thumped inexplicably. He nodded slightly and reached one of his hands out to the other party.

The cave was very dark and could only be barely illuminated by the torches on both sides. The Holy Paladin leading the way just walked silently. Although it was hard to cover up his staggering pace, he always seemed to know where he was going.

Es slowly followed him, and his eyes fell on the increasingly visible brand on the side of Su Shi’s neck.

“All right, how about we take a rest here?”

Su Shi came to an abrupt stop, his chest gently undulating because of the journey.

There was actually a very cozy stone room in front of him, with soft blankets spread atop seats carved from crystals. There were precious medicine and rare weapons everywhere. In the corner there was a neat and tidy pile of delicately carved wooden boxes.

Su Shi did not enter the room. He merely stood at the door looking at Es.

Es’s gaze fell on him. After a moment, he nodded slightly and walked into the stone room.

When he stepped foot onto the central crystal stone, he was suddenly encased in a beam of dazzling light.

The beam of light continued into him for only a moment. The mysterious spell rapidly spread, firmly trapping him inside, making him unable to move a single step.

“Regretfully, that dragon had long broken its seal.”

The voice at the door turned frosty. Es raised his gaze quickly, but only met with the Holy Paladin’s cold and indifferent gaze.

“I still have work to do. I can’t be delayed here. It seems I can only wrong you and have you rest here for a few days, Your Excellency Esmond.”

Translations by Vanilla Muse.

Su Shi walked slowly towards him, his expression gradually cooling. He raised his hands to untie Esmond’s collar, he flipped it around and sure enough there was the inscription crystal belonging to the cardinal.

With this crystal, he could walk boldly into the papacy, and even straightforwardly infiltrate all the way to the pope’s side, and directly drag the other side down in a self-destructive move.

Every minute of delay equaled an increase in danger. If he had the opportunity to complete the mission earlier, then he would. He did not want to drag it out for the full forty-eight hours.

Chapter 8.5 – Can’t Expend You to Death

Xue Zi Xuan was distressed, and he did not dare to draw near him again. He repeatedly asked himself—Just what in the world did you do to him? How can you hurt his most precious hands during a time when he was just developing a passion for music? Did you know that you murdered a genius? Are you sure that you are here to make up for all the mistakes in the past and not to make bigger mistakes?

Xue Zi Xuan, goddamn you!

His heart hurt so much, to the point that it couldn’t hurt any more than this. He half squatted down and hugged the teenager tightly in his arms. His ten fingers combed through Zhou Yun Sheng’s soft hair. His throat choked with apologies. His eyes turned red and were filled with regret.

Xue Jing Yi stared at the two people embracing together, her expression one of bitter resentment. She originally wanted Huang Yi to play a song, so that her brother could see what kind of idiot he fell in love with, but the development of the situation completely exceeded her expectations.

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

Huang Yi was too cunning. He not only refused to play, he even put forth an appearance as if he had received a great psychological shock. What did he want to do? Arouse her brother’s sympathy and love?

Fine, he succeeded, very successful. Prior to this, Xue Jing Yi never thought that her brother would fall in love with a person without musical talent. She knew him too well, his ears, his eyes, and even his soul only opened for music. If you couldn’t play music that moved him, you could never walk into his heart.

But this perception was completely subverted in this moment. Xue Jing Yi leaned back against the wall and vaguely recalled a saying—all of your criterions are for people that you do not love, but when you meet someone that moves you, you can tolerate their everything. She lost again, but it didn’t matter, she could continue next time.

Zhou Yun Sheng did not know that he had successfully delivered another psychological shock to the son of fate. Presently, he was immersed in a subtle desire. In the past, whenever he was punished, he would grit his teeth in silence and endure. He never entertained the extravagant thought of having a warm embrace to temporarily rest in. But right now, the young man held him tightly in his arms, with so much strength, seeming like he wanted to rub into his body and share everything, including sorrow and joy, happiness and anger, tears and blood.

Support the translator. Read this on vmnovels (dot) com

Zhou Yun Sheng loosened his jaw, softened his body, and slowly, slowly leaned towards Xue Zi Xuan. Perhaps this embrace was not very safe, but at least for now, it was warm, very warm.

The two quietly hugged for a stretch of time, and then with a tacit understanding, they left the piano room. Xue Jing Yi stood alone for a while, and then walked over to the piano. Suddenly she pounded the keys with both hands, creating a string of manic notes. Don’t know whose cat was hiding nearby, but it yowled in fright.

Zhou Yun Sheng heard the shrill piano sounds and his footsteps paused, but Xue Zi Xuan completely did not respond, and forcibly pulled him away.

The pain shredding his body continued, but the situation was very optimistic. Every time when Zhou Yun Sheng evaded the task, the system would take over his body and complete the task without his authorization, but this time, the system did not respond.

Sure enough, the more energy the system expended, the less it had left, right? Zhou Yun Sheng was very happy. After returning to the room, he turned on the computer.

“Put on medicine.” Xue Zi Xuan closed the notebook computer, shaking a tub of ointment in his hand.

“It’s already healed. Look. The bruises are gone.” Zhou Yun Sheng spread out both of his hands, which were as white as before.

Xue Zi Xuan didn’t care. He unscrewed the lid, applied a layer of ointment onto the back of Zhou Yun Sheng’s hands, and then gently massaged it in. Cautiously, he said, “Xiao Yi, you should continue to play the piano. No matter what kind of song, you’re able to play it after listening to it only once, this talent cannot be wasted. Believe me, you were born for the piano.” Because I have once witnessed your glory, and have once been deeply enchanted by the sound of your piano. If this heavenly sound disappeared because of my cruel action, I will hate myself for a lifetime.

Translations by Vanilla Muse.

The Xue Zi Xuan of now was incapable of shouldering too much self-blame. He buried his face in the palms of the teenager’s hands, concealing his red eyes.

“But I remember you said that my music was like a walking corpse without a soul, and it made you sick. You’re wrong. I don’t have any talent for music. The reason I can play a song after listening to it once is because I have a strong instantaneous recall ability.”

Zhou Yun Sheng pointed to his brilliant brain and emphasized, “Everything with a keyboard and regularity, including computers and musical instruments, I can learn it in one go. I am not born for the piano. I am me. I do what I love. You have no right to decide for me.”

This Alpha’s Pheromones 4

Chapter 4 – AA is Also Fine?

[T/N: The raws often shorten alpha and omega to A and O. So AA would be alpha x alpha.]

Although the original host got himself into quite the quagmire, he was still once at the apex of the entertainment circle.

Qiu Jin made his debut at the age of 16. At the age of 18, relying his high-quality appearance and his well off family background, he hit the big time in the entertainment circle. At that time, Xiang Xi was just some nobody who had just entered the circle.

The two of them worked together on a traveling variety show and baited the audience as a couple. One side was trying to hype up the show, but the other side caught feelings. After this, Qiu Jin started to unrelentingly pursue the other. He was simply the poster child for shamate*, his actions were lowbrow and without taste.

[*T/N: 杀马特 sha ma te – Chinese subculture of young urban migrants, usually of low education, with exaggerated hairstyles, heavy make-up, flamboyant costumes, piercings, etc. A loanword from “smart.”]

On Xiang Xi’s birthday, he sent him a luxury car. Not only did he gifted him such a heavy present, he also flooded his Moments* with messages, and at Xiang Xi’s concert, he rushed up on stage to offer him a kiss, making Xiang Xi turn green in the face.

[*T/N: Moments – social networking function of smartphone app WeChat]

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

After his confession was rejected, he stated publicly on Weibo*: “Little Kitty, you can’t escape from the palm of my hand.”

[*T/N: Weibo – microblogging]

Not only this, he also sent a large-scale photo of himself @ Xiang Xi, and bluntly said: “Omega, are you satisfied with what you see?”

[T/N: 又发自己的大尺度照片艾特项希 I’m a little uncertain of this sentence. I can’t figure out if Qiu Jin sent a “large-scale photo of himself” or if he straight up just sent a “d*ck pic.” The symbol @ was written in the raws (艾特 ai te = at symbol, @), which makes me think that it’s a digital photo, so “large-scale photo” didn’t make sense to me, unless the author meant “high-resolution photo,” which I doubt… Either way, it’s an unsolicited photo. So, poor Xiang Xi.

Edit: Whimsy confirmed that yes it was a nude photo.]

For goodness sake! What kind of incomparable weirdo was this?

Qiu Jin scrolled through those Weibo posts and was almost embarrassed to death.

Because of this, Qiu Jin became the biggest laughing stock in the entertainment circle of this century. His excessive harassment of Xiang Xi was so extreme that “ABO Daily” newspaper criticized him by name. His style of doing things was terrible, polluting the entertainment circle’s ecology, and he was on the edge of being shut out.

His family dearly wished to sever ties with him. There was no need to mention the pitiful Xiang Xi, his fans were already all outraged on his behalf, cawing out like crows: just what kind of sin did our child commit, to have such a greasy* badaozongcai** take a fancy to him?

[*T/N: greasy = sickening / disgusting / nauseating / too much / over the top / overwhelming]

[**T/N: 霸道总裁 ba dao zong cai: handsome high-powered businessman (a type of character in an eponymous genre of romantic fiction who typically has a soft spot for a girl of lower social status), i.e. Tsukasa Doumyouji from “Boys Over Flowers”]

He had the title of ex-sexiest alpha in the entertainment circle, but he personally wrecked this good card with his own hands.

As for why there’s an “ex” in front, that’s because he was too greasy. Due to his various lowbrow behaviors, he was expelled from the ranks of “sexiest alpha” by the fans.

Qiu Jin looked at his selfie on Weibo. His shirt was half opened, and he was winking and smiling charmingly at the camera…

[T/N: This selfie might be the photo he had sent to Xiang Xi…]

This expression of rapture, this posture brimming with enticement… Exactly how the hell did he use such proper facial features to make such a greasy expression?

If he were Xiang Xi, he also would not want himself, okay?

You have to know, this face of his, in his original world he had used it to craft a cold and cheerless public persona. After he transmigrated and became an omega, he was even more aloof, portraying the appearance of someone not open to playful disrespect.

…Aye, let’s not think about this anymore. The more he thought about this, the angrier he got.

Support the translator. Read this on vmnovels (dot) com

Qiu Jin originally wanted to delete those pictures, but when he saw those photos, his movements suddenly stopped.

The once paper man became vivid and lifelike. He could not bear to do it. These were the vestiges of someone who had once lived.

In the end, Qiu Jin still failed to delete those photos. A black history was also very good.

Don’t forget past events, for they can guide you in future.

As soon as he got home, his agent called in.

The agent didn’t know that he went to compare d*ck sizes with Ji Shenxiao. He only knew that Qiu Jin performed a strong kabedon on Xiang Xi, was beaten and scolded, and someone had even filmed a short video and posted it online.

Before Qiu Jin transmigrated over, the Film Emperor under Ji Shenxian’s movie and television company was holding a birthday banquet at a hotel. He invited all the big name people within the entertainment circle.

In the book, this was a stage for promoting the leading roles’ affections for each other. Naturally Ji Shenxiao and Xiang Xi would show their faces at this event.

Don’t know how, but Qiu Jin also got in there. He followed Xiang Xi for a long time and finally found an opportunity to block Xiang Xi in front of the washroom door, to once again madly declare his love.

Xiang Xi was so annoyed. Under these intolerable circumstances, he made offensive remarks to the previous eighteen generations of Qiu Jin’s ancestors. He also bluntly said that the person he liked was Ji Shenxiao, and that Qiu Jin, this sum man, should just give up already.

Translations by Vanilla Muse.

This was the first time that the original host heard that Xiang Xi liked someone else. Qiu Jin was furious and he followed Ji Shenxiao to the open-air swimming pool. He was the sexiest alpha in the entertainment circle. He wanted to see just what was so great about Ji Shenxiao!

While Qiu Jin was comparing sizes with Ji Shenxiao, Xiang Xi had broken his little immortal* omega public persona and there were already several lead stories about it on the net.

[*T/N: “immortal” as in a fairy or deity, a heavenly or celestial being]

#Xiang Xi’s public persona collapsed#

#Xiang Xi screaming profanity#

#Xiang Xi’s explosive confession of love for Ji Shenxiao#

#Qiu Jin has no sense of shame#

Qiu Jin’s shamelessness was already commonplace by now. The key point this time was that Xiang Xi’s public person collapsed in one night, and the whole network was shocked.

[My gosh! Xiang Xi actually has such a dirty mouth? Where did he learn those words?]

[Zu’an Stage. If you have the guts then come and fight me.]

[Zu’an, your mother. His little immortal omega image has collapsed. You still don’t want to admit it?]

[So what if he was cursing? Laozi immortal fairy will curse you! If Qiu Jin pursued you like this, can you not curse at him?]

(T/N: The above commenter is calling herself an immortal fairy (a play on Xiang Xi’s “immortal” image) and using the arrogant pronoun for I. So she’s defending Xiang Xi.)

[Let me say it straight, if Qiu Jin pursued me like this, I would have agreed long ago…]

[Agreed +1]

[Agreed +10086]

[For real. Qiu Jin may be greasy, but he is really handsome. Forget about kabedon, I would be willing to birth a little monkey for him…]

[Commenter above, have you gone crazy from your alpha fantasies? You can even say these kinds of words? What kind of ill luck has our Xiang Xi ran into, to be entangled with this kind of person.]

“Ahhhhhhh! I’m so annoyed! Why can’t Qiu Jin just go and die!”

Xiang Xi smashed his phone against the wall. His previously aloof and cold face was filled with hot anger.

Chapter 106.1 – Lantern Festival

Chong Ming Year 27, Month of November, Auspicious Time

Time passed in the blink of an eye. When An Zi Ran realized it, he found that he had been in this world for almost a year. Time passed quickly in his fast rhythm. It seemed like he had only just changed into summer clothes not too long ago, and now he was putting on winter clothes again.

He had a bountiful harvest this year.

After no longer developing various side businesses, An Zi Ran also finally got some rare idle time.

The entire family was sitting down together for dinner.

“Eat, eat…”

From the cradle of An Zi Ran’s arms, came the soft and sticky voice of a small child.

The small bun extended his two chubby little paws, leaned on the edge of the dining table with his head slightly raised, and he stared at the food on the table with his two grape-like eyes. Due to his height, he could only see the side of the dishes, but he was almost two years old, and he was already capable of starting to think for himself.

Support the translator. Read this on vmnovels (dot) com

The little bun was born in January of the previous year, so he became one at the end of the year. In just a few months time, he will soon be two years old, although in actuality he was still one year old. His voice was soft and vague, but his expressions were clear.

An Zi Ran mixed a bowl of vegetable and meat congee for him.

This time it wasn’t a rice paste. The little bun was already starting to grow out teeth, eight small and white teeth. But his biting strength wasn’t there yet, so he could only eat congee.

An Zi Ran was usually very busy, but he had never overlooked the little bun. Whenever it was time to eat, as long as he had a bit of time, he would personally feed the little bun half a bowl of congee before handing him back to Qiu Lan to continue feeding.

The little bun had a bigger appetite than normal babies. Perhaps he was born as a chowhound, but whenever people fed him food, he would never refuse.

At first, An Zi Ran thought that the little bun was precocious and that he liked this big brother of his, therefore he was quiet and well behaved whenever An Zi Ran fed him, but later he found out that the little bun was very welcoming to all, as long as there was food, he would not make a fuss.

After a while, An Zi Ran passed the little bun over to Qiu Lan.

The little bun’s eyes remained riveted on the remaining bowl of congee as he was passed around. He looked exactly like a chowhound.

But being able to eat was a blessing, so no one was worried about whether or not he would eat himself into a fatty.

“Do you have any arrangements tonight?”

Head Steward Fu, who was eating quietly, spoke up out of the blue.

Everyone froze.

An Zi Ran shook his head. “No, I am relatively free this time. I don’t have to go out at night. Why does second uncle ask this?”

“If you don’t have any plans, you might as well go to the Lantern Festival in the market at night. This is the last Lantern Festival this year. It’s a lot livelier than ever. You haven’t been out to play this entire time you’ve been in Jun Zi City. It’s just right to let Wu Tian accompany you out and relax for a bit,” Fu Yi explained.

Hearing this, Fu Wu Tian picked up a piece of meat with his chopsticks and placed it into An Zi Ran’s bowl. Then he said, “This prince was thinking just so.” Even if Fu Yi did not mention it, he intended to bring up the topic.

The Lantern Festival was a tradition in Jun Zi City, and it was held every season.

It was already November, right at the beginning of winter.

The Lantern Festival was not held in any of the four markets, but rather, it was held at the one river within the capital—Huai Zi River. The festival would be arranged by the riverside. At this time, the Huai Zi River would be most lively.

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

The sun was tilted westward, and the street vendors in the city all rushed towards the Huai Zi River after dinner, in order to get a good spot for their stall, because it was not fixed, so it was on a first-come-first-served basis.

As the sky darkened, the Huai Zi River became a vivacious place.

An hour after supper, Fu Wu Tian took An Zi Ran out.

Lao wang ye wanted to follow them to the Lantern Festival. He didn’t go to the past three lantern festivals held this year, but before Fu Wu Tian could refuse him, Fu Yi stopped him first.

“If you want to go, wait a bit for me to accompany you.”

As soon as lao wang ye heard this, his eyes turned round and round in thought. “Can we take little kid, Ming, out together with us?”

One sentence immediately revealed that lao wang ye had not given up his designs on the little bun.

“No!” An Zi Ran, who was just about to go out but heard this, vetoed first. “Zi Ming is still young. The Lantern Festival is crowded with people, it is easy to get hit.”

Fu Yi and Fu Wu Tian also agreed.

Lao wang ye was stymied, and could only give up.

Chapter 67

“I’m okay. I was just careless…”

Su Shi shook his head, stood firm with Es’s support, and raised his head subconsciously. Then his gaze suddenly focused forward.

In front of them was a small cave, which was unexpectedly locked up tight behind an iron gate. Due to their accidental tumble, some clumps of earth were unexpected shook off, faintly revealing a dazzling golden color shining through.

He knew this place.

This was the former papacy’s treasure house. There was not only treasure that could enhance one’s strength, but also many precious ancient books. In the plot, the protagonist should have escaped into the misty forest because he was avoiding the pope’s pursuit, and then accidentally opened this treasure trove, not only getting rid of the worries of his life, but also discovering the truth of the pope’s demonization through ancient books.

Unexpectedly, he shook out the treasure house with an accidental tumble.

Su Shi looked at his first-rate special effect [Bonanza] and sucked in a breath. He unobtrusively pressed down on his stomach.

[T/N: As a reminder, [Bonanza] in Chinese is 财源滚滚 which means “profits pouring in from all sides” and it is an idiom for raking in the money.]

He has experienced many worlds, but in all worlds he needed to exchange experience points for every skill and ability he wanted to use. Su Shi was keen on saving money (a.k.a. experience points), and his skill repertoire has always previously been sufficient. He has never made a purchase to open that first-rate special effect.

There were not many skill options to choose from in the last world, so he had casually chosen this skill when he received the reward, but he did not expect it to have such a powerful effect after being maxed out in level.

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

Of course, Es has also noticed the oddity in front of them. He carefully helped Su Shi sit down, and then he walked forward by himself to the mouth of the cave. He raised his hand and tried to press against it.

Sensing the distinctive power of a bishop of the papacy, the door slowly opened, revealing a bright road paved with crystals.

Su Shi did not want to step in at all.

Seeing the contents of the treasure trove of the previous generation’s papacy, Es’s breathing stalled. He subconsciously took a step forward, but then his body suddenly shook, and he broke away from the strong temptation. His gaze cleared and sobered.

Es turned around to look over. When his gaze fell on Su Shi, he could not help the shock and amazement flickering through his eyes.

Greed was human nature. In front of immense wealth, anyone would be instinctively swayed. He was able to regain his will in a split second, and restore his mind to its original sobriety. His willpower was already strong enough to be considered at the top within the papacy.

But right behind him, the young Holy Paladin was just sitting quietly, still looking calm, and there even seemed to be a faint sigh in his gaze.

What exactly did he think of? This treasure trove was proof of the previous papacy’s greed and decay. Ivan tried to assassinate the pope regardless of everything, did that meant hat the current pope has followed in the footsteps of his predecessors?

Es narrowed his eyes and abruptly cut off his thoughts in the middle. He gathered his state of mind and walked towards Ivan calmly.

Only when he perceived Es’s approach, did Su Shi recover from the psychological blow of this passive skill [Bonanza]. He raised his head and looked at the other party. He reluctantly curved the corner of his lips. “You were able to open it…”

Support the translator. Read this on vmnovels (dot) com

Only the pope and the bishop could open this door. If at this point, he still could not see that the protagonist really was bored to the point of disguising himself as a commoner, then he really was not worthy of his trophy.

“Although I am unclear about your secret troubles, I now believe that you really are innocent.”

Es was not in a rush to answer Su Shi’s words. He walked to his side and squatted down. He raised his head patiently. His tone firmed.

“This is a forest sheltered by the Holy Paladins’ will. Your forefathers and predecessors guided you here. It must be for you to obtain it. Ivan, this treasure house belongs to you.”

Only the purest and the most loyal soul could be recognized by the Holy Paladins’ will. If it were a soul with greed or evil thoughts, it would not be possible for it to find this place in its entire lifetime.

Su Shi looked up abruptly and then blurted out, “No, I don’t want it!”

This was the starting point for the protagonist’s leap in strength. If Su Shi cut him off, the plot would change drastically, and it was likely that things would never return to the original main storyline.

Translations by Vanilla Muse.

If the world was broken, he would be getting off lightly if he were to receive an average score of E. Even if he successfully completed the task, there would be no experience points for him.

His reaction was so fierce that even Es was startled by him. Es knitted his brows and frowned slightly at Su Shi’s abruptly ashen face. “Why?”

Chapter 8.4 – Can’t Expend You to Death

Xue Zi Xuan’s breathing felt obstructed. The past life was too heavy, which diluted the memory of this life. In fact, he could not remember the scene at that time. He only knew that the boy’s piano sound disgusted him, but how was that possible? In the future, the teenager will become a great pianist who shines throughout the new century. Who knows how many people would be deeply enchanted by his piano?

There must be something wrong. He was anxious to verify it and pulled the boy towards the piano room. Xue Jing Yi smiled secretly and slowly followed.

Standing in front of the piano again, Xue Zi Xuan’s mood fluctuated and his expression was difficult to discern. He sat down and placed his ten fingers on the piano keys, but he did not press a note for a long time. The scar from a lifetime ago could be wiped away, but the scars in his heart would always exist. His love and focus for the piano could never be recovered, because he has found something that he loved and was more devoted to.

With a turbid sigh of breath, he finally put down the last bit of nostalgia and called, “Xiao Yi, come and play a song.”

Zhou Yun Sheng shook his head. Instead of stepping forward, he took two steps back and hid his hands behind his back. This man had schizophrenia, and God knows whether he will break Zhou Yun Sheng’s hands when listening to him play. He had never forgotten the cruel words that Xue Zi Xuan said last time.

“Go, try again. You really do have a talent for music. I’m not lying to you.” Xue Jing Yi egged him on in a low voice.

Xue Zi Xuan felt shame and regret over that incident. He walked over quickly, held the youth in his arms, and apologized again and again. If he could have arrived earlier, he would never have done anything to harm the teenager.

Zhou Yun Sheng really didn’t want to touch this thing again, but the system that hadn’t been heard from in a while suddenly released the fourth task: play a song in front of Xue Zi Xuan.

Support the translator. Read this on vmnovels (dot) com

According to past experience, every mission issued by the system was a trap. In the process of completing the mission, he would always be struck by the children of fate in various ways. So as soon as a new mission appeared, he knew that it would not be anything good.

He pushed away Xue Zi Xuan, and turned to leave with a very determined attitude. He was worrying about how to drain the system, and the opportunity came. Evading a mission would absolutely receive a punishment of level five or higher. The amount of energy the system needed for that was not little.

Originally, the teenager should have become a pianist who shines all over the world, but because of his savagery, he imprinted a psychological fear of playing a musical instrument on the boy. This understanding made Xue Zi Xuan’s heart twist in pain. In one moment, he felt like he was guilty of a terrible crime, in the next moment he thought: it was also fine like this. If the teenager left that high-profile stage, would Xue Zi Xuan be able to hide him away and not let anyone see him? Could he prevent Xue Yan from meeting him?

This selfish thought flashed through his head for a second and then faded away without a trace. Xue Zi Xuan gripped the boy by his shoulders, and pressed him onto the piano bench. He pleaded, “Xiao Yi, will you play a song for me? Just one song.”

Zhou Yun Sheng was unmoved. His clear eyes stared straight at the young man, silently recounting his resistance. He was not competing with Xue Zi Xuan, but competing with the system.

The system issued several warnings, the consistently monotonous electronic sound showed violent fluctuations, as if angered by the host’s malicious strike. But no matter how angry it was, it could only save as much energy as possible for self-preservation. It initiated a level three punishment instead of the established level five to level seven punishments.

The pain of having one’s body ripped apart engulfed him. Zhou Yun Sheng supported his forehead with one hand, covering the very carefree smiling expression on his face. He thought he must also be sick, sick with a disease called “self-abuse syndrome.” The more ruthless the system’s punishment, the more delighted he would be, delighted from his body to his heart.

Xue Zi Xuan saw the teenager sitting silently in front of the piano, placing one hand on his knee, trembling slightly because of fear (in truth, pain), one hand supporting his forehead, covering his pale face. His stooped figure seemed weak and frail, as if it would break with a light snap.

Chapter 11 – Royal Snack Kitchen

After leaving Xi Li Palace Hall, Lin momo carefully looked at Lin An Zhu who followed her. “An Zhu, what is your real name? Where are you from? Where is your family?”

“Replying to momo’s words, this slave’s original name is Lin Jia Bao. I am from Lin Jia Village, which is not far from Pei County.” Lin Jia Bao was now called Lin An Zhu, but he still liked the name that his father and mother gave him. However, Xi momo said that the name An Zhu was elegant and pleasant to the ears.

“Jia Bao, ah. It’s a good name. However, the palace has its own rules, so from now on you can only be called An Zhu.” Lin momo verified the information and confirmed that she didn’t pick the wrong person.

“An Zhu understands,” An Zhu nodded obediently.

“So good and obedient! You don’t have to be afraid. You see, we both have the surname Lin, so it counts as a type of fate. We are now going to the Royal Snack Kitchen in Yong Shou Palace. It’s a place dedicated to making desserts for the empress. The daily work is not much. There are also three palace maids who will work with you there. They are all easy to get along with.”

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

“Momo, I will study hard and do things seriously.” Lin Jia Bao looked up with his small face.

“En, good child.” Lin momo touched the top of his head.

Lin momo led Lin Jia Bao along the long palace road, and they arrived at the kitchen area of the Royal Snack Kitchen.

“Lin momo, you’re back.” Yu Long stepped forward and looked at Lin Jia Bao, who was behind Lin momo.

“Momo, momo, is this a newcomer?” Yu Ling asked curiously.

“Yes, this is palace attendant, An Zhu, a new addition to our Royal Snack Kitchen.” Lin momo introduced Lin Jia Bao. “This is Yu Shuang, Yu Long, and Yu Ling.”

“Nice to meet you, Yu Shuang jie jie. Nice to meet you, Yu Long jie jie. Nice to meet you, Yu Ling jie jie.” Lin Jia Bao greeted them one by one.

[*T/N: jie jie means “older sister,” doesn’t have to be blood related, can be used as a courtesy towards any older female]

“Haha, I’m finally not the youngest anymore. An Zhu, how old are you, ah?” Yu Ling asked.

“Twelve years old.” Lin Jia Bao looked at Yu Ling with his big eyes.

“Twelve years old, ah. You’re so small and cute, ah! Ya, you also have dimples,” Yu Ling said and pinched the small face.

“All right now, don’t bully the newcomer, go and do work, ba. Yu Shuang, you first take An Zhu to his room to put his things down and get settle in,” Lin momo said to Yu Shuang.

“Yes.”

Yu Shuang took Lin Jia Bao out of the kitchen and came to the residences in the back. He was taken to a single room. “This will be your room from now on. Put your things away first. Then take a look to see if there’s anything missing and let me know, okay?”

Lin Jia Bao looked at his new room. The room was not big, but it was clean. There was a small bed and a wardrobe in the room. Near the window, there was a table and a chair. There were beautiful patterns on these furniture, everything was complete, and the bedding was also new.

Lin Jia Bao looked and said happily, “The room is very good, there is nothing missing.”

“Then put your thing away and I will take you around to get familiar with the environment,” Yu Shuang said. She also liked how cute and obedient An Zhu was.

After getting familiar with the new surroundings, Lin Jia Bao took lunch with Lin momo and the others. The lunch here was very sumptuous, there was one non-vegetarian dish and three vegetarian dishes, and the flavor was also very good.

“We have a kitchen here. We go to the big kitchen to pick up the ingredients and come back here to cook it. Unlike some palaces, where their dishes are all cold by the time they get them.” Yu Ling said proudly.

“An Zhu, eat some more, ah.” Yu Shuang picked up some meat slices and gave them to An Zhu.

“En en, thank you, Yu Shuang jie jie.” Lin Jia Bao expressed his thanks with bulging cheeks.

Everyone saw this cute appearance of his and smiled.

In the afternoon, Lin Jia Bao entered the Royal Snack Kitchen. After washing his hands clean, he stayed on the side watching Lin momo make snacks.

Lin momo had him watch first. She explained to him what she was doing while she worked.

Yu Long pulled Yu Shuang off to one side. “Look, it’s only An Zhu’s first day here and you’re already below him in comparison.”

Yu Long was already jealous of Yu Shuang who received Lin momo’s hands-on teaching to learn how to make snacks, but what could she do, Yu Shuang’s talent for making snacks was better than her, so in the end she was respectful.

Translations by Vanilla Muse.

But why did this ger child get everyone’s fondness on his first day here? Lin momo also attached great importance to him. An Zhu’s face was becoming offensive to her eyes.

Yu Shuang knew of Yu Long’s competitive nature and ignored her attempt at provocation. She just concentrated on doing her own thing.

Seeing Yu Shuang ignore her, Yu Long harrumphed.

Chapter 105.2 – Cousin

Da Hei felt very aggrieved. He was definitely the first bodyguard in the history of Da Yao to be mortgaged by his master.

“I think seven days won’t be enough, ba.” An Zi Ran said lightly.

The handsome man froze for a moment. “This… uh, it’s really not enough. If An gong zi doesn’t mind, then perhaps we can extend the deadline…”

An Zi Ran interrupted him halfway. “In my opinion, you can’t gather this amount for a long time. Am I right, Sixth Prince?”

Fu Yuan Fan blanked out.

Da Hei’s expression looked like he had been struck by lightning.

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

“How do you know who I am?” Fu Yuan Fan finally reacted and he immediately backed away. Just two more steps and he would’ve collided with the table. He let out a startled gasp and looked at An Zi Ran stupefied. He had never seen this person before, and he also didn’t show himself much in social situations, so how could the other person possibly know him? But this person did indeed call his ranking accurately.

“Of course, it is because this prince told him.”

Along with the declaration of this sentence, a tall figure came out from behind An Zi Ran.

As soon as Fu Yuan Fan saw his face, his expression cracked. “C-C-C… Cousin*?”

[*T/N: The exact term is 堂哥 tang ge, which means “older male patrilineal cousin.” It looks clunky, but I’m going to translate it as “brother-cousin” to denote gender and seniority.]

Among the five prince sons of the Chong Ming Emperor, the only one who addressed Fu Wu Tian as “brother-cousin” was Fu Yuan Fan, because among the five, he was the one that lived the most free and leisurely. He had absolutely no interest in the throne. Although it might have something to do with his mother, the correlation was not big. The main reason was still due to his inherent character.

Support the translator. Read this on vmnovels (dot) com

Fu Wu Tian looked like he was about to smirk at the astonished expression on Fu Yuan Fan’s face. “I haven’t seen him for a while, but younger cousin* keeps making me renew my respect for him**.”

[*T/N: 表弟 biao di – younger male cousin via female line]

[**T/N: 刮目相看 gua mu xiang kan – to have a whole new level of respect for somebody. In this case, it is most certainly said in irony.]

Fu Yuan Fan looked at An Zi Ran fiercely. A youth surnamed An. He remembered that brother-cousin’s wang fei was also surnamed An. It couldn’t be what he thought it was, could it?

“Still not greeting your sister-cousin-in-law*?” Fu Wu Tian possessively held An Zi Ran’s waist.

[*T/N: 堂嫂 tang sao – wife of older male cousin via male line]

Right in front of the tongue-tied gazes of the two, An Zi Ran swatted Fu Wu Tian’s hand away. Frowning in dissatisfaction, he said, “I am not a woman. What sister-cousin? It’s still better to call me An gong zi…”

“Sister-cousin-in-law!”

Fu Yuan Fan’s sudden shout not only cut into An Zi Ran’s sentence, but also startled him for a second. His expression became dark.

Fu Wu Tian’s chest vibrated lightly.

“Sixth Prince, no matter how intimately you address me, you still have to return the money,” An Zi Ran said with a cold face.

Fu Yuan Fan was dumbfounded again. He had wanted to bring their relationship closer, but the results turned out to be counterproductive… He was wrong. Could he have a do over?

“…Actually I’m not done talking.”

An Zi Ran looked at him with a blank face.

Fu Yuan Fan braced himself, “What I wanted to say was, sister-cousin-in-law is of course not fine. Sis… Honorable you are absolutely, truly a man. I should call you brother-cousin-in-law!”

[*T/N: He used the word 堂夫 tang fu, but I’m not sure if it’s a legit term of address or not, since it’s not showing up in the dictionary I’m using.]

Da Hei stared at his family’s Royal Highness with rounded eyes. His entire person was stunned. Your Highness, where is your backbone*? How could you fold so easily? Didn’t you often say that literati should have a strong backbone and cool demeanor, to not bend over trivialities, including issues of money? How could you say fold and then fold so easily?

[*T/N: 傲骨 ao gu – lofty and unyielding character]

An Zi Ran looked at him silently.

Fu Yuan Fan’s scalp was starting to tingle from his stare. But for the sake of ten thousand silvers, he could only be thick skinned.

“Okay now,” Fu Wu Tian spoke up in saving grace.

Fu Yuan Fan immediately looked at him gratefully.

An Zi Ran said lightly, “It’s not impossible to not return that ten thousand silvers, but there is a condition.”

Fu Yuan Fan looked at him expectantly, “What is the condition?”

“Now you know that Tian Long Gambling House is run by me. Then you should know that this casino competes with the other nine major casinos, especially Bao Hua Gambling House. Luo Yang will not give up. I need someone to help me restrict them. Take care of Tian Long Gambling House when I am not in the capital. Don’t give them an opportunity to take advantage. If you can agree to this, then I will write off the ten thousand silvers of debt.”

“This…” Fu Yuan Fan hesitated.

Father Emperor did not like it when him or his brothers meddle in business affairs, so he has always known his place and been satisfied with his lot in life. Of course, the fact that he was never interested in doing business was also an important reason, but he knew that several of his brothers were dabbling in business behind the emperor’s back. Unluckily, he knew exactly who opened Bao Hua Gambling House.

Translations by Vanilla Muse.

Right now, very few people knew that it was his brother-cousin’s wang fei that opened Tian Long Gambling House, but in the future, this truth would without a doubt be exposed. At that time, his actions in aiding Tian Long Gambling House would certainly be known to his older brothers. They would definitely think that he was part of their group. He only wanted to live his whole life freely. He never wanted to get involved in these troubles.

Fu Yuan Fan looked at him pitifully. “Can we change it to another condition?”

An Zi Ran spread out his hand. “Ten thousand silvers.”

Fu Yuan Fan’s expression collapsed slightly. If he knew that things would turn out like this, then he would certainly hold back from gambling.

“You have some time to consider.”

“…’Some time’ is how long?”

“A quarter of an hour.”

“…” Sure enough, it was only a little bit of time.

After debating about it for a while, Fu Yuan Fan raised his head. His gaze was firm. “I can promise to help you take care of Tian Long Gambling Hosue, but I think that you also know, I might be a prince, but my influence in court is not as good as that of several of my brothers, so I can only do my best.”

Not only that, he simply did not have any influence at all. His mother’s identity was particularly sensitive, so he never dared to partner up with any of the political groups. He was afraid that Father Emperor would misunderstand him and deprive him of his freedom.

He could absolutely rank first as Da Ya’s most useless prince.

“You can rest assured. I will have Ge Qian An help you.” An Zi Ran nodded as he spoke. He had already discussed this with Fu Wu Tian along the way. Asides from him, Ge Qian An was the one who knew the movements of various industries the best. With Ge Qian An present, An Zi Ran could also be at ease.

No matter how useless Fu Yuan Fan was, he was still a prince. This was the reason that An Zi Ran picked him. As for Fu Yuan Fan’s abilities, An Zi Ran did not consider them at all.

Like thus, Fu Yuan Fan was also relieved.

He knew that Ge Qian An was one of the capable men around his brother-cousin.

They did not stay at the casino for much longer after that. Fu Yuan Fan went home with a traumatized Da Hei.

The summary for this outing was: lost his wife and also lost his soldier!

Chapter 66

Su Shi sat casually against the tree trunk, with one arm resting on his bent knee. He did not seem the slightest bit harried; it was hard to tell that he was in a difficult situation from his relaxed image. Instead, he seemed to exhibit an easy confidence and ease, for no reason at all.

He was clearly a very gentle and peaceful person, and he laughed so brightly, like the sun breaking through the dense fog, easily capturing the eyes of others.

Su Shi didn’t pay attention to Es’s gaze. He lowered his head and continued to collect the dew from the blades of grass. However, his heart couldn’t help hammering because of this one name.

The protagonist’s name was Esmond. Based on reason, no one would use a shortened form of their real name as an alias.

Translations by Vanilla Muse.

But the protagonist could be unreasonable.

Protagonists really could have such senseless preparation. Su Shi made up his mind not to give the other party any opportunity. He looked up and said, “The path here is very complicated. You can bring me in here, then do you have the confidence to bring me back out?”

Although Su Shi understood the way out, he ineffably did not want to put such a hurried end to this unexpected journey together.

Es raised his head and met his gaze seriously. “I don’t have the confidence.”

Su Shi’s hand shook, and he couldn’t help but cough a few times.

“It’s colder in here than outside. I should have had you wear more clothes.”

Seeing that Su Shi suddenly started to cough, Es could not help but frown. He took of his outer garment and put it on Su Shi. Then he checked the temperature on his forehead. “Let’s go deeper in first. I remember that there should be a hot spring in the depths of this forest. Let’s settle there first, and then I’ll get something for you to eat.”

“No, I–”

If they went any further, then he really might not be able to make it back in two days.

Inside, Su Shi’s heart hammered, but on the outside, his face carried a slight apologetic smile. He supported himself with his hand on the ground and shook his head gently. “I don’t have much energy anymore. The one that they’re chasing is me. You don’t have to get involved. Just hurry on and find the way out, okay?”

“It doesn’t matter. I just remembered that I actually have some more power.”

As he said this, Es had already wrapped his clothes tightly for Su Shi. Then he leaned over, picked him up again, and continued deep into the forest.

This kind of smile was really good. The clear and gentle light in those eyes was also very good.

There were too many intrigues in the papacy. Everyone had to wear a mask to live. Instead, unlike the Holy Paladins who lived under a mask from the start, he still had a very rare pure and clean soul.

Suddenly, he did not want to send the man in his arms back to prison anymore. He did not want him to be troubled by some secret that he could not speak forthrightly about, did not want him to once again express a guilty conscience, and did not want him to have to hesitate and waver.

That kind of look should not have to appear in such eyes from the start.

“Es, wait a minute–”

Su Shi was caught off guard and carried again. He hurriedly grabbed on to Es’s arm, pursed his lips, and said softly, “Let me down, I can walk.”

The young man paused, staring down at him, his facial lines suddenly faintly softened, and he leaned down and carefully lowered him. “Okay.”

“Ever since he entered the papacy, no one has called him like that anymore.

The young Holy Paladin’s voice was clear, but probably because his body was weak, his tone was weak, and he seemed to be weak, but the soft way he called Es made him feel warm inside.

It was just an alias that he spat out in a moment of desperation, but he must admit that he was vaguely looking forward to the name being called by the other person.

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

All Holy Paladins were proud. For this pride that has been passed down through the generations, they did not even hesitate to give up their lives. For Es to pick him up without asking for his opinion and carrying him around here and there, it was already an extremely offensive act.

Es supported Su Shi’s arm carefully, and waited until the other person stood steady before helping him to go further into the forest.

Still hoping for the papacy guards to catch up, Su Shi’s steps were slow, and he tried his best to delay the progress, but before long, he saw the cave that was said to have hot springs.

Su Shi’s vision abruptly went dark.

When he felt that the body of the person he was supporting suddenly collapse, Es quickly helped Su Shi lean against his body. His tone held a warmth and mildness that even he had not noticed before, “How is it? Can you still push on?”

Su Shi managed to smile at Es with great difficulty. Then he braced himself and took a step, but he stepped into empty air and rolled down the slope.

Es’s heart clenched, and before he could even think about it, he flung himself forward.

There was soft grass at the bottom of the slope, and Su Shi’s tumble was not too hard. He was dizzy and tried to get up. A hand extended out to steadily support him. “How is it? Did you get hurt?”

Chapter 8.3 – Can’t Expend You to Death

While Zhou Yun Sheng was still wondering about Xue Zi Xuan, the car had already been parked. Xue Zi Xuan took out his mobile phone and called the assistant to have him bring back the black car parked outside the exhibition hall. After he hung up the call, he smiled and asked, “Still want to play?”

“I still want to play, but I don’t have any tools.” Zhou Yun Sheng licked his lips, with a longing look in his eyes. He wanted to take this car apart and reassemble it in the way he wanted. Remodeling machinery was his second favorite hobby. In the past, in order to avoid the government’s arrest warrant*, he had disguised himself as a mecha designer and worked for a year in the largest mecha production factory in the Empire, and almost became their chief.

[*T/N: 通缉 tong ji – specifically to arrest someone as a wanted criminal]

Xue Zi Xuan stared at the teenager’s pink tongue for a few seconds, and then looked away with difficulty.

“You want tools? Do you want to take the car apart?” Xue Zi Xuan’s voice was hoarse.

Translations by Vanilla Muse.

“Can I?” When it came to his hobby, Zhou Yun Sheng forgot to pretend. He threw himself over, hugged the young man’s arm and shook it.

Xue Zi Xuan looked at him, his eyes dark. After a while, he said in a low voice, “Yes, even if you want to burn it, you can. It’s yours, you can do whatever you want with it.” I’m yours too. You can also do whatever you want with me.

With the last sentence hidden, he gently touched the teenager’s cheek.

Zhou Yun Sheng very much appreciated the young man’s heroic spirit. So far, Xue Zi Xuan was undoubtedly his favorite Xue family member, and no one else. He decided that even if he got rid of the shackles of the system in the future, he would retaliate against the Xue family, but for the sake of this car and for the sake of the young man’s gentle and soft consideration towards himself, he would definitely let him go.

“Then, I’ll really dismantle it? I really, really would dismantle it.” Zhou Yun Sheng repeated again and again.

“It’s fine, you can take it apart.” Xue Zi Xuan smiled. He pushed open the car door and pulled the teenager out. Then he opened his trench coat, wrapped the youth in his arms, and step by step, slowly walked back to the house.

Xue Jing Yi sat on the sofa directly opposite the door, her gaze slack, not knowing what to think. Upon hearing the footsteps, her pupils immediately refocused on the sight in front of her, and then her heart pumped fiercely.

What she saw was her brother and Huang Yi bundled tightly together, standing at the entrance and speaking in low voices. She didn’t know what Huang Yi said, but her brother chuckled and rubbed the tips of their noses together. His thin lips almost touched Huang Yi’s lips. She could almost imagine how warm and snuggly they were when they breathed together, and how tender they were when their eyes met. Her brother even bent down and changed Huang Yi’s shoes for him. He grasped Huang Yi’s toes with his hands, seeming to want to warm them up.

Even such an ardent attitude could not exchange for Huang Yi’s gratefulness. He gave her brother a kick, and almost caused her brother to fall over. Instead of being annoyed, her brother laughed in a low voice and still smiled cheerfully.

Such a gentle and amiable brother has never appeared in Xue Jing Yi’s memory. He only existed in her most wonderful and most secret fantasy. She once imagined a brother that fell passionately in love with her; he was exactly like this.

Fell passionately in love? These four words struck Xue Jing Yi like dull thunder, and she almost screamed. She understood, suddenly she understood everything, and her hatred for Huang Yi reached an unprecedented height.

She hurriedly took out a quick-acting salvage pill, which was placed under her tongue and waited for the severe pain of her heart to ease slightly. Then she walked over casually and called them for dinner.

Xue Rui and Xue Li Dan Ni probably wouldn’t be back today. Xue Li Dan Ni was still making a fuss with her family, but the result will not change. The Li family had no reason to prevent the grandson from inheriting the Xue family business.

Xue Jing Yi sat between the two of them, watching their intimate actions, as if nothing could come between them, and her pitch-black eyes occasionally flashed with poisonous light. She felt her brother glance at her and quickly bowed her head and ate silently.

After finishing the meal, Xue Jing Yi put down her tableware and begged, “Second Brother, will you practice piano with me?”

Zhou Yun Sheng could not forget Xue Zi Xuan’s cruel words when he almost broke his ten fingers, and now Xue Jing Yi asked him to play the piano at this time. Please don’t be so obvious about your ambition, he thought.

“I’m not going, have Brother accompany you.” Zhou Yun Sheng simply refused. After his hands were injured, the little bit of interest that he had in piano was exhausted.
