Volume 3 Chapter 101 Exchanging Lives
He will die.
These words kept reverberating in Shao Qing’s mind. Shao Qing never thought that Er Dai would die, and Fu Jingshen…
She did try to avoid him recently. She had thought about it before, if Er Dai remembered everything, he would want to leave her, so she will do whatever it takes to keep him, but what if Er Dai becomes two people?
This change exceeded her imagination and left her at a loss. In addition to the recent busy schedule, she could not help but overlook a lot of things, or she may have deliberately used it as an excuse.
But just now, when Fu Jingshen looked at Shao Qing with such familiar eyes, Shao Qing realized that it was still Er Dai. Whether he was called Er Dai or Fu Jingshen, he still remained the same.
What changed was only the appearance, but she didn’t see it through.
“Is there any way…” Shao Qing was surprisingly calm. Shao Bai shook his head: “I don’t know, but I think he needs to replenish his energy, enough energy to reach the ninth rank, and he needs to repair his body. The most important thing is that he needs to wake up.”
After all, Shao Bai was currently at rank 9 and he was the king among plants. He must know more than others, “Xiao Bai, I will ask you, Qiyue, and Yin Ye to think of a way.” Shao Qing took a deep breath, “If you need anything, just tell me.”
Shao Bai nodded. Then the three of them started to research the solution. Yin Ye took a crystal core and grinded it, then he added strange liquids to form an energy liquid like nutrient solution, and soaked Fu Jingshen in it.
In this way, the energy liquid will continuously deliver energy to him and stabilize his body balance. The rest will come slowly.
Shao Qing stayed in the room for a long time, until Mulin came in to remind her then she walked out slowly. Jiangcheng had many things waiting to be done, she had to make many decisions.
Shao Qing restrained herself. She did not want to think about the situation with Xiao Baozi, but she still felt cold in her hands and feet. She knew that the enemy was very powerful and could not be rushed. Otherwise, the first problem would be Jiangcheng.
This time they have to go to their lair. If they act rashly, the entire army will be wiped out in minutes.
She was the lord of the city, she must force herself to calm down, think, and figure out how to deal with it.
After a while, someone came over and told her that Ye Anzhao wanted to see her. Ye Anzhao was the man who deceived Gu Panpan. Shao Qing had a very bad impression of him.
After finishing writing the last stroke, Shao Qing said, “Let him come in.”
The door opened, and Gu Panpan carried Ye Anzhao and walked in. It was really a “carry” in. Ye Anzhao looked like he was dying. His body was full of injuries, then Gu Panpan threw him to the ground: “Jie, if he makes any moves, you can kill him directly, I will go out first.”
After Gu Panpan left, Shao Qing asked: “What do you want with me?”
Ye Anzhao panted for a long time before regaining a little physical strength. He whispered, “Mr. Qiu can control us, so he asked me to be an undercover agent. Panpan is a soft-hearted woman. I can see clearly, she can’t bear to kill me, so I want to beg the city lord to kill me. You can declare to the outside that I pretended to see you for something, but wanted to assassinate you. This way Panpan should hate me even more, and will not care about my death.”
He spoke clearly and slowly, one could tell that he was a person of good character.
Shao Qing put down the pen and said, “Why?”
Ye Anzhao laughed, and then said, “My father passed away and my family was poor. It was my mother who worked hard to support me for school. When I was in college, I couldn’t pay for the tuition. My relatives remained at a distance from us, no one wanted to reach out to help. My mother went to sell her blood without telling me. When I was a sophomore, she found out she was in the late stages of AIDS. Isn’t that so melodramatic? I had no choice but to go out to find a job, but couldn’t find money quickly. I had noble and virtuous thoughts, so I used this face to earn a living, but was unwilling to be a male prostitute. Later, because I was unwilling to spend the night with a client, my leg was broken. The day before the end of the world, my mother hanged herself at home because she didn’t want to drag me down. I had so much hate at that time. I even thought if my mother committed suicide one day later, or if I was at home at the time, would she not die? Even if she became a zombie, it didn’t matter, I was willing to raise her…”
When Ye Anzhao talked about Gu Panpan, his eyes lit up: “In this life, no one has treated me kindly except for my mother and Panpan. She is a kind-hearted girl and very cute. I wronged her. So I don’t want to wrong her another time. City Lord, I can see that you are also a good person. Please, kill me. I have lived enough. The only regret in this life I have is not being able to pay back what I owe Panpan.”
Shao Qing looked at him faintly without any fluctuations in her eyes. After a long while, a vine was stretched out, the vine was inserted through Ye Anzhao’s chest. Ye Anzhao closed his eyes waiting for death.
After the vines were inserted, a burst of energy was slowly injected. The energy wandered through Ye Anzhao’s body. After wandering, Shao Qing found the thing that controlled Ye Anzhao, a black worm full of tentacles, lying on Ye Anzhao’s crystal core.
Shao Qing released some dodder seeds and sneaked into Ye Anzhao’s body. The dodder seeds slowly entered Ye Anzhao’s crystal nucleus following the flow of energy in his body.
It quietly took root around Ye Anzhao’s crystal nucleus, and slowly surrounded Ye Anzhao’s crystal nucleus. Ye Anzhao’s whole person twitched with pain. He clenched his teeth and curled up into a ball.
After the dodder wrapped around the crystal nucleus, it launched an attack. As soon as the black bug was touched, it expanded its body and wanted to explode. If it exploded, Ye Anzhao would undoubtedly die.
The dodder quickly touched and wrapped the insect that had temporarily detached from the crystal core due to the swelling.
In the end it became a green cocoon, then it continued to shrink. Its shrinking was rhythmic. After, Ye Anzhao spat out a bit of black blood, then he lay there and stopped moving.
After a while, the vine was taken back. A dodder was drilled from the wound. Shao Qing pinched the ball of dodder then said: “The control has been lifted, but your future powers cannot improve, you may even regress. I don’t care about what happened before, you can do whatever for yourself.”
Ye Anzhao laid on the ground blankly, crying for a long while. He was a man who had never cried when he was seriously injured. Even when he was tortured he didn’t cry at that time. He also didn’t cry when he came back from death, but at this time, he cried and curled into a ball.
He was thinking, it would have been great if he met Shao Qing earlier, so that he would not have to go to great lengths to deceive Gu Panpan and give away his heart.
He could have stood proudly with Gu Panpan, and given her love without falsehood or deception.
But everything was too late, Gu Panpan will no longer forgive him, nor will he forgive himself.
God has played him all his life, and in the end, he refused to give him a good ending.
“Panpan, come in.” Shao Qing yelled. Gu Panpan walked in and dragged Ye Anzhao out. Gu Panpan expressionlessly dragged Ye Anzhao a long way before saying: “I won’t forgive you.”
She was listening outside for a long time. At first, she was worried that Ye Anzhao would be unfavorable to Shao Qing. Later, she couldn’t help but feel sad. She couldn’t forgive Ye Anzhao, even if he had troubles, he still lied to her and harmed Jiancheng.
That’s why Ye Anzhao can’t be forgiven, not only her, but the entire Jiangcheng.
Maybe God’s favorite thing to do is really playing with people.
“I know.” Ye Anzhao gave a rare smile. In the past, he was not under someone’s control, but his life was a pawn held by others. Now his life was at least his own, so he can slowly pay for his debt.
He owed Panpan and Jiangcheng.
Shao Qing spent an afternoon dealing with the affairs that had to be handled by her, then went back to accompany Fu Jingshen. Fu Jingshen was placed in a glass container, which looked like a rectangular coffin, filled with greenish liquid.
Shao Qing couldn’t help frowning. She sat next to Fu Jingshen and looked at him seriously. She hadn’t looked at him so seriously for a long, long time.
He still looks very thin, but the childish look between his eyebrows has completely faded. It had turned into a man’s tenacity. Mulin sat down beside Shao Qing, with some fatigue on her face: “Ah Qing, you like Er Dai, what do you like about him?”
“That he’s like a child? That he knows nothing and relies on you wholeheartedly? Or trusting you, loving you, and willing to give his life for you?”
Shao Qing said softly: “I more than anyone else hopes that Er Dai can return to normal. What I love about him is not because he is dependent on me like a child, but because he is him.”
“Then, why is it that when Er Dai recovered, you acted like that?” Mulin said patiently: “I feel your attitude towards him has changed.”
“At that time, it was different. He changed from one person to two. His character immediately became Fu Jingshen’s. I will gradually adapt, but…” Shao Qing said helplessly: “Maybe it’s like this: Only when you lose it, do you truly appreciate it.”
Mulin was also helpless: “It seems that you have figured it out. You have seen the previous things. He can do anything for you, even give up his life. Although I am not very familiar with Er Dai, I can feel it. He has not changed.”
Shao Qing replied: “I am afraid now, I am afraid of losing him. Our life will be better soon. We can live the life I spoke about at the beginning, leisurely and freely. We won’t have to worry about survival or about the future, but he…”
“It will be fine.” Mulin said dryly: “Didn’t we get through all those difficulties of the past? The darkness before dawn is like this.”
Shao Qing smiled and didn’t want to talk any more. She didn’t know whether it was dawn or deeper darkness, but she didn’t want to think about it anymore.
Jiangcheng was very united. On the second day, everything was almost in order. On the third day, Yin Ye walked out of the laboratory and said, “Ah Qing, Shao Bai said that there is a way to save Fu Jingshen.
“How?” Shao Qing, who was cooking porridge, threw away the ladle and asked in surprise.
“Exchange life.” Yin Ye said softly: “Neither of them wants to tell you, so I had to come alone. Shao Bai said if we use you to fill up Fu Jingshen, he can truly become a real rank nine zombie. Then he can resurrect you. This is the only way at the moment.”
Shao Qing calmed down. She was not afraid of death, but she was afraid of hurting Shao Bai: “I’ll go chat with Shao Bai.”
Yin Ye made way and let Shao Qing look for Shao Bai. Shao Bai was already prepared. He sat behind the table and fiddled with his leaves. After Shao Qing came, he preemptively said: “Jie, I will confess to you. My greatest limit is resurrecting you twice. The third time, it will be when I die, so this one time doesn’t matter. You are my sister and he is my brother-in-law. I can’t just watch him die. After the first resurrection, I will have a period of weakness, but I believe you can protect me. Jie, do you have anything you want to ask.”
Shao Qing smiled helplessly: “You have said it all, what else can I ask? I will confirm a little though, does it hurt you much?”
Shao Bai shook his head: “I am one with you now. You should also know that I will not lie to you. I will be fine.”
Shao Qing took a deep breath and calmed down for a long time. “Okay”
Shao Bai smiled: “Then let’s prepare.”
