Chapter 123 Young Reporter Han Zhiqing (5k)
"Hahahahaha."
After Yan Qiuli woke up from her coma and the three of them resolved the misunderstanding, Shen Cheng and Xiao Qingque mocked her mercilessly.
Yan Qiuli was like a quail, holding her head with both hands, her whole face flushed red: "Stop laughing, I didn't know you were vampires, and you didn't tell me!! This is all your fault!"
She only knew that Shen Cheng was a Star Ranger, but she didn't know that Shen Cheng and Xiao Qingque were both vampires, otherwise she wouldn't have made such a big joke.
She had a premonition that this might become her dark history, and from now on Shen Cheng and Xiao Qingque would continue to talk about it and pass it on as a joke.
Ahhh, I don't want to live anymore!
Shen Cheng and Xiao Qingque continued to laugh.
Especially Xiao Qingque, who was laughing so hard that he was out of breath. "You are a... a fortune teller, how come you are afraid of ghosts?"
She and Shen Cheng never imagined that Yan Qiuli, the direct disciple of the metaphysical master who often dealt with ghosts and gods and metaphysics, was also afraid of ghosts.
Just like a paratrooper's fear of heights, it's really unbearable.
"What's wrong with being afraid of ghosts? I'm just learning divination, not catching ghosts."
Yan Qiuli retorted loudly. Seeing Shen Cheng and Xiao Qingque still laughing, she was so angry that she blurted out subconsciously: "Sister Qingque, your mother is dead, why are you still laughing?"
Xiao Qingque's laughter stopped abruptly, and the smile on her face froze.
The originally cheerful atmosphere froze at this moment.
Xiao Qingque's face suddenly darkened. Without saying a word, he picked up the urn, stood up and left, going upstairs.
Seeing her angry look, Yan Qiuli panicked and quickly grabbed Shen Cheng's arm, begging, "Brother Shen, I said something wrong, what should I do?"
She doesn't have many friends, so when she speaks, she sometimes speaks without restraint and without respect.
Xiao Qingque didn't care about her before, but now her pain point was suddenly hit.
Shen Cheng didn't expect that Yan Qiuli, who was so young, could suddenly say such cold words with her warm little mouth at 36 degrees, causing a critical hit and breaking Xiao Qingque's defense.
He suppressed his laughter and said, "When you were sad a few days ago, she was the one who comforted you and accompanied you. Now it's your turn."
Yan Qiuli nodded seriously: "I understand."
In the bedroom on the second floor, Xiao Qingque hid on the bed and wrapped himself in a quilt.
There were soft footsteps, and Yan Qiuli walked in, holding a plate and pushing open the door.
"Sister Qingque, aren't you hungry? It's time to eat."
The plate in Yan Qiuli's hand did not contain food, but several syringes, which were already filled with the buffet that Shen Cheng had just brought back.
She placed the plate on the bedside table, then reached out and carefully patted the covers.
"Sister Qingque, I'm sorry, I just said the wrong thing."
Yan Qiuli kept apologizing softly to the quilt: "Can you forgive me?"
There was no movement under the quilt.
Yan Qiuli was talking until her mouth was dry. When she saw that Xiao Qingque still ignored her, a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes.
Just as she turned around and was about to leave, a hand suddenly reached out from under the quilt and grabbed her wrist tightly.
Yan Qiuli was startled and looked back, only to find that a corner of the quilt had been lifted up, and a pair of blood-red eyes lit up in the dark space inside.
"Come in, please."
Xiao Qingque dragged Yan Qiuli into the bed and said, "You dare to poke my sore spot? I'll make you pay."
Yan Qiuli struggled subconsciously.
"No, let me go."
"Help, a vampire is biting."
She was like the helpless Bai Qiuning rabbit, dragged into the bed by the big bad wolf without any resistance.
Shen Cheng, who was sitting downstairs, looked up at the ceiling.
The girls are sweet and soft with each other.
It’s a pity that I’m not thick-skinned enough, otherwise I could crawl into bed and stay close to them.
After all, Xiao Qingque was older than Yan Qiuli, so she was not too sad and quickly recovered.
This was mainly due to Shen Cheng's efforts. If she had just been turned into a vampire and suffered a series of mental shocks, she would probably have had mental problems like her mother.
After the farce, Shen Cheng and Xiao Qingque continued to live with Yan Qiuli.
Yan Qiuli did not behave strangely because the two were vampires. Instead, she became closer to them.
Xiao Qingque felt like she was living a fairy-like life here. She had Yan Qiuli to keep her company, she could play cards every day, and Shen Cheng would not urge her to train.
After all, her current strength has reached a critical point, and what she should train is her fear of death, and this kind of thing cannot be rushed.
However, Shen Cheng kept urging her to update her novel every day.
She will never have the chance to become a pigeon.
……
Old warehouse
Shen Cheng woke up from his sleep and took off the electrodes on his body.
Every other week, he would come here to continue his cooperation with Tianxuanxing, check his physical data, and draw a tube of blood.
Because elite-level demon blood has no effect on him anymore, and Tianxuanxing does not have high-level demon blood for the time being, so he is now purely contributing without receiving any reward.
However, Tianxuanxing had helped him so much before and had also given Xiao Qingque a lot of demon blood in advance. Strictly speaking, he was just paying off his debt now.
Shen Cheng rolled over from the bed, put on his clothes, stretched his body, and asked Tian Xuanxing on the screen, "What's going on? I'm getting less and less sleep here. Are you cutting corners?"
In the past, when he came to Tianxuan Star for a physical examination, he could enjoy a few hours of deep sleep, and every time he woke up, his body felt extremely comfortable, as if he had stayed in the most advanced foot bath for three days and three nights.
But as time went by, the frequency of his attacks increased and his sleep time became shorter and shorter. Now he could only sleep for an hour at most before waking up.
Tian Xuanxing's calm voice was faintly filled with helplessness: "Because you have developed resistance to the method of using sound waves to improve sleep quality, that's why you woke up early."
In fact, it was because Shen Cheng's physique had become stronger, and under normal circumstances it had surpassed Chaofan, which caused the effect of the sleeping drug used by Tianxuanxing on him to become less and less effective.
And if the dosage is increased, he will most likely notice it, and that would be counterproductive.
"alright."
After hearing this explanation, Shen Cheng did not force it, but changed the subject: "What do you think of what I told you before?"
He had previously told Tian Xuanxing that he would be going to the provincial capital in a while and it was uncertain when he would return.
So he planned to mail his blood back from the state capital regularly, or let Tianxuanxing find a way to get it himself.
Because he didn't want to lose Tianxuanxing, an excellent partner, in order to maintain the cooperation, he had to resort to this troublesome method.
As for asking Tian Xuanxing to go to the provincial capital together, he only considered the idea for a moment and then gave up.
Because Tianxuanxing seemed to have been operating in Tailing City for a long time and was omnipresent here, he would definitely not abandon everything and follow him to the provincial capital.
In response to Shen Cheng's question, Tian Xuanxing was silent for a while and gave an answer: "Please allow me to reject your proposal, because mailing it will affect the quality of your blood and cause unpredictable consequences for the research."
Shen Cheng was a little disappointed. It was impossible for him to run back from the state capital every week. "Then our cooperation..."
"Don't worry, I have a suggestion."
Tian Xuanxing interrupted Shen Cheng and said, "I have a research base in the state capital and am preparing to recruit a partner. Are you interested in applying for a job in the state capital?"
Shen Cheng was slightly startled, then looked surprised: "When did you learn to joke?"
After knowing each other for so long, Tianxuanxing has always been an absolutely rational character, and I have never seen any emotional fluctuations in him.
Shen Cheng almost bent over because of this sudden joke.
"Just kidding, what's wrong?"
Tian Xuanxing was somewhat dissatisfied: "Am I just a fool in your mind who has no emotional intelligence and interests and can only do experiments?"
Are you sure this isn't an introduction?
Shen Cheng smiled and said, "No, I just didn't expect you to abandon everything in Tailing City and go to the provincial capital with me."
If Tianxuanxing were a woman, wouldn't she just elope with the man she liked?
"I want to correct you on two counts."
Tian Xuanxing had to explain: "First, I have more businesses in the state capital. Strictly speaking, that is my headquarters. I will not abandon Tailing City. Someone will take care of it for me. Second, even if you don't plan to go to the state capital, I will go back after a while."
"What are you going back for?"
"Elite demon blood is useless to you, and high-level demon blood can only be detoxified in the state capital. Of course, I'm just helping you by the way. I have more important things to do when I return to the state capital."
"Why do you sound like a tsundere when you say that? I'm not trying to help you. I just have something else important to do, so I'm helping you out."
Tianxuanxing's eyes under the mask became serious, and he seemed a little annoyed: "I know what tsundere is. As a partner, you can't make groundless assumptions about me and slander me like this." "You're anxious!"
"My speech rate and heart rate have not changed. Your statement that I am anxious is totally unfounded."
"The more you quibble, the more guilty you feel."
"You are sophistry."
Seeing that Tianxuanxing seemed really anxious, Shen Cheng stopped teasing him, waved his hand with his back to him, and walked out of the warehouse.
"Let me know when you're leaving, and we'll contact each other in the state capital then."
After Shen Cheng left, all the emotions in Tianxuanxing's eyes disappeared in an instant, and he became extremely indifferent again, or inhumanly indifferent.
She turned her head to look at the side of the warehouse, and Bai Qiu Ning had emerged from the darkness.
She couldn't wait to go to the bed where Shen Cheng had just slept, lie down on it, and breathe in the remaining breath.
His breathing was rapid and his face was flushed, like a drug addict.
Seeing her in such a state of disarray, Tian Xuanxing had to remind her: "The effect of the sleeping drug is getting smaller and smaller. New drugs are still being developed, but the cycle is very long. What are you going to do during this period?"
If Bai Qiuning couldn't hold it in and exposed herself in front of Shen Cheng, then all of them would arouse Shen Cheng's vigilance.
It won’t be so easy to get close to him again in the future.
In addition, although Shen Cheng has always been risk-free in using drugs and he has no doubts about it, as his strength continues to increase, the probability of being exposed is gradually increasing.
Once Shen Cheng becomes suspicious, the close cooperative relationship that she and Shen Cheng have finally achieved may be forced to end.
Moreover, the option of arresting Shen Cheng was not passed during their internal discussion, as other slices had different ideas.
This was the first time they had a disagreement among themselves.
And this split actually originated from a man.
Bai Qiu Ning, who was intoxicated on the bed, slowly opened his eyes: "I have thought of a way. I can have as much contact with him as possible. It shouldn't arouse his suspicion, but I need your help."
"any solution?"
After listening to Bai Qiuning's story, Tianxuanxing had a strange expression.
"It's a good idea indeed, but you'd better not be discovered by him, otherwise he might kill you."
Bai Qiu Ning smiled somewhat morbidly.
"No... I know him... we all know him."
……
Shen Cheng, who was driving home, shuddered for no apparent reason, as if someone was secretly plotting against him.
He rubbed his nose and looked ahead, but his mind was thinking about his previous communication with Tianxuanxing.
He has basically confirmed that Tianxuanxing's gender is female.
In fact, Shen Cheng had already been testing the waters with words a long time ago, such as when he just said that Tianxuanxing was arrogant.
Men and women react very differently to this topic.
Although Tianxuanxing hid it well, her behavior was no different from that of a female.
Shen Cheng has conducted such tests many times, so he can basically draw a conclusion.
However, this is just Shen Cheng's personal curiosity. No matter what Tianxuanxing's gender is, even if it is a boy and a girl, it will not hinder the cooperation between the two.
Suddenly, Shen Cheng, who was driving, noticed a familiar person appearing on the side of the road.
It’s the little chicken I met in the art gallery before, oh no, it’s the young reporter Han Zhiqing!
That’s not right either. It’s the second generation of power who pretends to be a young reporter.
It is now past midnight and Han Zhiqing appears on the street alone.
Although it is not known why the congressman's daughter appeared here alone, it is obvious that she is in trouble.
This is an old town with simple folk customs. What's the difference between a beautiful woman walking alone on the street in the middle of the night and a Teemo with low health wandering around on the enemy's high ground?
Isn't this attracting others to have sex with her?
Han Zhiqing looked panicked, running around in the street like a headless fly, followed by two men who obviously had bad intentions.
Shen Cheng stopped the car.
In Du Haijing's memory, when she pretended to be Han Zhiqing's mother, she was still very caring towards this fake daughter, and even regarded her as a meal substitute for Xiao Qingque.
After leaving the art gallery that day, Du Haijing felt a little guilty about this fake daughter.
Shen Cheng was somewhat grateful to Du Haijing for taking care of him when he was young, so he naturally would not watch Han Zhiqing get into an accident on the street in the middle of the night.
Han Zhiqing had already run into an alley in panic.
As a result, I didn't run far before I found that the alley was blocked by all kinds of debris.
Just as she was about to run back, two men with bad intentions followed her in and blocked her way.
Han Zhiqing quickly pulled out a stun gun from her body and threatened the two men: "Don't come over here, or I won't take care of you if you get hurt."
Unfortunately, her face was filled with panic, her voice was trembling, and the hand holding the stun gun was shaking visibly. She had no deterrent effect at all, and certainly couldn't stop the two men from approaching.
Han Zhiqing was about to cry: "Don't come over here, my father is a city councilor, he will teach you a lesson!"
The two men were amused by her words.
"The congressman's daughter has found a treasure."
"Don't be afraid, I'm the congressman's son-in-law, your husband."
"Then I am the councillor's father, your grandfather."
The sudden voice of the third party startled the two men.
The moment they turned their heads to look back, their heads had already been severely hit and they fell to the ground with a thud.
In order to avoid scaring the little girl, Shen Cheng did not make the wound bleed profusely. However, even if these two guys were sent to the hospital, they would be useless even if they were cured.
The little girl opened her eyes wide in surprise and stared at Shen Cheng blankly.
He really has no foresight at all. Shouldn't he rush over to thank me as his savior now?
Shen Cheng is now using his ability to modify cognition, so of course he doesn't have to worry about being recognized by Han Zhiqing.
He didn't say anything, turned around and walked out, back to the car parked on the side of the road, leaving her alone inside to calm down.
After a while, Han Zhiqing finally came out of the alley reluctantly.
Shen Cheng then asked, "Where is your home? I'll take you back."
Han Zhiqing did not come over immediately. Instead, she stood on the side of the road, looking at Shen Cheng with some vigilance.
Shen Cheng didn't care about the little girl's vigilance, and there was no bad thing in being more vigilant.
Because you never know whether the person who saved you was Jack or Brother Jie.
So he offered another suggestion: "If you are scared, I can lend you my cell phone and you can call your family to pick you up."
Although it is impossible to go out without a cell phone, but looking at the girl's appearance, her cell phone is likely to have been stolen.
Han Zhiqing still didn't say anything and continued to look at Shen Cheng, but her eyes had changed from vigilance to some kind of doubt.
Suddenly, she blurted out in surprise: "Are you the person at the art gallery that day?"
As soon as these words came out of her mouth, Han Zhiqing felt a huge sense of terror instantly enveloping her.
Her mind was blank, her expression was dull, and she sat limply on the ground as if she had lost consciousness.
And this was just caused by Shen Cheng's slightly murderous look.
Looking at Han Zhiqing who was almost frightened to lose consciousness, Shen Cheng was full of doubts.
He is now using his ability to modify cognition, so why can Han Zhiqing discover his true identity?
Shen Cheng got out of the car and came to Han Zhiqing. He looked down at her dull eyes and used hypnosis.
"How did you find me?"
"intuition."
Han Zhiqing had no resistance and was successfully hypnotized by Shen Cheng: "My sixth sense is very strong... I was deeply impressed by you wearing a mask and sunglasses in the art gallery... So I can recognize you without looking at your face..."
"With such an outrageous reason, I have to wonder if you were really hypnotized by me."
Shen Cheng lifted Han Zhiqing's skirt.
She did not scream and remained in a dazed state of hypnosis.
