Chapter 66
Holding On to My Man
Edited by Evan
Xiao Li was a man of great courage. Once a decision had been made, he wouldnât drag his heels and do things sloppily.
At the time of the change in the Xiao family, he had already killed the restless people of the Xiao family. Now the whole Xiao family was in his hands. No matter what he did, no one could or would stop him. Now all the people who followed him were all his most loyal subordinates.
However, the news of the apocalypse was too bizarre. If he hadnât seen the situation of Ah Hu himself, he might not have believed it.
Moreover, there were many people with many mouths, and he couldnât guarantee that if these peopleâs families knew that they wouldnât disclose the news. If that occurred, it would cause panic, and then the state would use this excuse to immediately remove the illegal and secret thorn in their side, the Xiao Family.
Therefore, Xiao Li didnât tell the news, but instead collected a large number of munitions with the cover of expanding the âindustryâ, and chose an appropriate place as the post-apocalyptic security base.
Gu Bai saw his actions and didnât need him to explain. He also guessed that his apocalyptic idea was correct.
At the moment, he had another thing he was certain of, which was that there was definitely a reborn person in the Shen family. Generally, only a reborn person would have such advantages and confidence, and this person, maybe, was that Shen Muze.
In this way, it could explain why the original host didnât know Shen Muze at the moment, but was already hostile to him. There was more than a 90% possibility that the two people had a dispute in their last life.
However, since the original host didnât hate him, Gu Bai wouldnât do anything for the time being. He would just be on guard because the original hostâs mood was too complex. If he went in the wrong direction, the task would probably be one step wrong, and heâd lose it all!
Since it was certain that this was the end of the world and that the source was demonic qi, Gu Bai naturally had to prepare for cultivation.
The Shen family had also gone into action. All their money had been dedicated to the collection of materials without any reservations. The space brought back by Shen Muzeâs rebirth was very large, so they didnât have to worry about having nowhere to store things.
While everyone was busy with preparations, time was also passing. Gu Bai was also preparing, but still didnât forget his task.
Since he had determined that the Shen familyâs father and son were his mission targets, he naturally needed to make contact and explore the mission clues.
Every time Xiao Li went to the Shen family to discuss the apocalypse, he would follow and appear frequently in front of Shen Muze, observing the otherâs emotions and thoughts to confirm the direction of his task.
With this kind of contact, Shen Guohuiâs impression of him was getting better and better, but Shen Muzeâs expressions were getting more and more fearful and bewildered.
Especially seeing the relationship between Gu Bai and Xiao Li made him both happy and worried.
If Gu Bai was really with Xiao Li, he wouldnât try to steal Wu Dage from him. Yet it was worrying that if Gu Bai had Xiao Liâs support, he would become more of a threat to him in the future.
He didnât know how long Su Yu could keep his identity a secret, but seeing Shen Guohuiâs closer and closer relationship with Gu Bai made him panic, and he didnât want to lose everything he had.
After watching Gu Bai leave, he couldnât help but walk to Shen Guohui.
âDad, do you like Su Yu very much?â
âSu Yu is a good boy, very well-behaved. Whatâs wrong? Xiao Ze, dad doesnât think you like Su Yu very much. Every time he comes, youâll even hide and wonât leave your room. Su Yu is a very smart child. Youâll learn a lot if you get along with him, especially when you have such a character, so you have to change...â
Shen Guohui nodded with a kind face.
Although his son had been reborn, even before his rebirth, he had experienced a terrible end, but Shen Guohui thought that his sonâs temper was the same except for his intuition, so even with his protection, it wasnât helpful to his future life in the apocalypse.
Thinking up to there, Shen Guohui had some self-reproach. He blamed himself for those years of being too extravagant with his spoiled son, so that his spoiled son was too naive and too simple.
âXiao Ze, dad and Xiao Li have already agreed to let Su Yu come to our house in a few days. You need to get along well with him. You know, Su Yu is a very clever child...â
âWhatï¼heâs coming to live in our house?â
Shen Muzeâs face suddenly panicked, and the anxiety of his previous life suddenly hit his heart. His fear of the last few days had finally occurred. Su Yu had come back, Su Yu had come back, so would dad find out, would he find out?... His face turned pale in a flash.
What well-behaved and clever, what good child? It was all fake; it was all just the other partyâs act to confuse everyone. He couldnât let Su Yu come back, he couldnât!
He swooped down on Shen Guohui and begged, âDad, can you not have Su Yu come? Please, dad, I donât like Su Yu, I donât like him...â
His mood was too excited. This was Shen Guohuiâs first time seeing his son like this, and for a while, he was puzzled and worried.
âXiao Ze, why donât you like Su Yu?â
âI, I......â Shen Muze didnât dare to explain what had happened with Su Yu in his previous life. He hesitated for a few seconds and then continued to beg for another way with red eyes.
âWhen he comes, dad wonât like me anymore. Dad has already ignored me these last few days. Please donât let Su Yu come to our house. I really donât like him...â
Even if he didnât discover Su Yuâs identity, his father had already begun to have a favorable impression of Su Yu. He couldnât imagine what kind of expression his father would have if he knew this time and couldnât imagine the consequences.
He knew that his father wouldnât hurt him, but as long as Su Yu looked smart and obedient, everyone would start to like Su Yu. Even if he was just an ordinary person with no ability, everyone still liked him.
Shen Guohui didnât know what he was thinking. Hearing his words, he naturally regarded them as the expression of a childâs jealousy, rubbed his head, and laughed.
âYouâre already this old, and youâre still jealous? Dad likes Su Yu very much, but he wonât dislike Xiao Ze. Alright, dad still has something to do and needs to go out, so you just safely stay at home. Recently, itâs more and more chaotic outside...â
Comforting with a few words, Shen Guohui then hurried out again. The doomsday was near, and he had to finish the preparations as soon as possible and give his son a safe future.
Everything Shen Muze wanted to say was swallowed in his throat. His eyes were red, and he looked at Shen Guohuiâs back with eyes full of complex emotions. He couldnât help crying.
Wu Donghan was usually cold in the business world and was as stable as a rock, but he wasnât good at comforting people. He could only pat him on the back and repeatedly comfort him by saying, âXiao Zhe, donât cry,â with his stupid mouth.
But the more he comforted him, the more Shen Muze cried. The better Shen Guohui and Wu Donghan treated him, the more afraid he was of losing these good things.
When he had cried enough, he raised his head and looked at Wu Donghan with red eyes and said, âWu Dage, donât dislike Xiao Zhe. You promise me that you wonât like other people in the future. Can you promise me that, promise me...â
Wu Donghan didnât know that he was afraid or why he had said that, but he still nodded his head.
But this kind of promise still couldnât alleviate Shen Muzeâs fear. The news that Shen Guohui wanted Su Yu to live in the Shen familyâs house had made him very upset.
On the other hand, Gu Bai wasnât happy because he was being sent to the Shen familyâs house. Although he was very close to Shen Guohui, he wanted to stay with Xiao Li more.
As soon as he got in the car, he took the initiative to ride on Xiao Li and asked, âAre you really going to send me to Shen familyâs house?â
âWhat? Donât want to go?â
Xiao Li stretched out his hand to hold his body. It was only a few days before the Shen family said the world would end, and there were still some things in hand that he hadnât finished yet.
Also their excessive actions had attracted some peopleâs attention. In recent days, Xiao Li wasnât very reassured leaving Gu Bai alone at home. In contrast, the 100 Li around the villa of the Shen family had become the centerpoint of their post-apocalyptic base. It was best for Gu Bai to stay with the Shen family to welcome the apocalypse.
âOf course I donât want to go. I canât sleep without you at night, and Iâm worried...â
Gu Bai nodded, completely pale, his face looking aggrieved.
âWhat are you worried about?â
âWorried about when youâre going to eat me ah? Iâve already fantasized so many times that your blood is boiling, and youâre burning me with your heat, but youâre not moving at all...â
Gu Baiâs eyes were open. When he spoke, he was extremely blunt and shameless. Looking at his simple appearance, Xiao Li felt that Gu Bai radiated an extremely attractive light.
The blood in Xiao Liâs body was mobilized, and he couldnât help but take a deep breath.
He shouldnât have had even the slightest smidgeon of pity. He should have immediately and mercilessly gotten rid of people, so that the naughty teenager couldnât speak provocative words anymore and could only groan and beg for mercy under him!
The two bodyguards in front also clicked their tongues. Ah Hu was quite straight. He couldnât help turning around, covering his face, and pleading, âBoss, please take care of the little temptress in your honorable selfâs house. Everyday the two of you do this, and my ears are nearly pregnant...â
He understood that the kid accidentally saved by the boss wasnât a pitiful guy or an ignorant young man, but was instead a mysterious person, specifically a temptress from hell focused on seducing his boss!
As a temptress, Gu Bai was very conscious of being one. He nodded his head, his eyes bright.
âSee, your subordinates even have suggestions. As a good boss who cares for his subordinates, what are you hesitating about? How about tonight? As his small lordship has pointed out, todayâs a good time to spend together having **!"
âPfft... Cough cough..."
The other two bodyguards in the car who had always been pretending to be deaf finally couldnât help laughing out loud, and then they choked again, coughing and coughing. Ah Hu directly covered his face and didnât speak. Itâs finished, itâs finished, my ears are already pregnant!
Xiao Li finally couldnât help grabbing Gu Baiâs little head and firmly grasping it. He lowered his head to give him a deep kiss. He also used his big hand to heavily pinch Gu Baiâs bottom. He only let go of him after a long time and spoke in a harsh voice.
âIâll send you to the Shen family tonight...â
His self-control had reached its limit. Heâd go crazy if the teenager tried to seduce him like this again. Once things were done, he would make sure this tease couldnât get out of bed!
âYou can be rest assured that cultivators have good physical strength and flexibility and wonât be unable to get out of bed. Besides, I prefer riding people...â
Seeing into his inner thoughts, Gu Bai curled his lips and came up with some words.
âHoo...â
Xiao Li took a deep breath and closed his eyes to recite the mantra of tranquility.
Several bodyguards turned their heads and stared at the owner of their house. They silently expressed, Boss, you can just pretend weâre not here and deal with this person, and we definitely wonât peek!
It was a pity that Xiao Liâs self-control was absolutely powerful. One minute later, the bodyguards regretfully looked away.
Gu Bai also sighed in his heart with regret. He resented the fact that he had been trying a thousand times with this hypocritical man. He accepted the fact that he had been sent to the Shen family to live alone for several days.
What Xiao Li was busy worrying about, Gu Bai naturally knew, but it was just the matter of how to store things. Although the Shen family was reliable, all their eggs couldnât be put in one basket.
So when he left, he gave Xiao Li what he had finally refined.
In the end, this kind of world space was a must-have. When he was in the mysterious world, he had learned to refine a storage space, so he had naturally refined one now.
Besides Ah Hu, the other people hadnât seen Gu Bai get the space jade when he was treating Ah Hu at the beginning and only now reacted. The young man who everyone had looked down upon and did nothing but hug the bossâs thigh all day was actually a master who was pretending to be a pig, but actually ate lions!
In this both tense and relaxed atmosphere, the footsteps of the apocalypse gradually came.
In just a few days, "rabies", which were regarded as a variation, had spread rapidly, not only in China, but also in other countries. The whole world was in a panic over âvariant rabies".
No one knew what these âvariant rabiesâ were. The top medical personnel from all the countries gathered together to study the vaccine, but no progress had been made.
In order to prevent the country from falling into turmoil, the government was afraid to tell the truth and could only try its best to appease the people, placing all infected people under quarantine to prevent the spread of infection.
This kind of powerful means of force effectively suppressed the infection for a while. The chaos in the street had been reduced by a lot, and people who didnât dare go out had a chance to breathe.
But Gu Bai looked at the news and only fell into a heavy mood.
In this so-called âepidemicâ lull, he felt the magic in the air grow stronger and stronger, with the blue and bright skyâs color also growing deeper and deeper. By even just breathing, he could sense the rotten smell of blood.
The Shen family told Xiao Li that the apocalypse was in just three days, when everything would finally explode...
