Arc 9: Chapter 2

Since 521 was connected to Lin Yuan’s consciousness, it also received the effect of the glasses. Although the floating cucumbers were weird, it was much better than seeing the original ghosts. 

In the plot, these two ghost kings were drawn by the aura of extreme Yin, but before they could find the human source, the two ghost kings met each other first. 

When two kings meet, conflict is inevitable. In fact, these two ghost kings were the souls of the protagonist gong, so when they fought, a cut to the enemy was also a cut to oneself. As the two ghost kings fought, the four major exorcist families also sprang into action. Because the Xie family was located in the suburbs of the city, Xie Daolan arrived first.

Despite being outnumbered, Xie Daolan didn’t lose to the two ghost kings, so the two sides were deadlocked. Suddenly, one ghost king grabbed Lin Yuan, and the other grabbed Lin Wang, despicably asking Xie Daolan to choose to save one of the two brothers. 

In order to promote the relationship between the protagonists, of course Xie Daolan saved Lin Yuan in the end. 

So Ghost King No. 1 took Lin Wang back to his place, and Ghost King No. 2 followed. The two ghost kings disliked each other, and began the days of snatching their wife from each other. At first, Lin Wang was terrified that he would get eaten, but nothing happened and he got used to his new life. He was able to yawn in the arms of a ghost king, thinking that when he woke up next, he’d be in the arms of another ghost king. 

As for Lin Yuan, he was sent home by Xie Daolan. Then he was swallowed by another ghost king on his eighteenth birthday. 

Lin Yuan rubbed his chin and was determined to think of a way to change the original plot. Before he could form a thought, he inadvertently glanced out of the corner of his eye and almost screamed. 

How should he describe the scene? It was like the taxi was driving through a cucumber forest, where the cucumbers were chasing after them. 

Even Lin Wang was scared now, although he was still a hundred times bolder than Lin Yuan. He leaned closer to Lin Yuan, trying to feel a little more security: “Bro… there’s a lot of-”

“Shhh!” Lin Yuan quickly pressed Lin Wang’s mouth shut. He whispered angrily: “Don’t say that word!”

Seeing Lin Yuan was even more scared, Lin Wang felt his own fear dissipate a little. In order not to scare his stupid little brother to death, Lin Wang decided to follow the other’s wishes. He whispered: “Bro, there’s got to be a hundred ‘guests’ outside right? Do you think we can get home safely?”

A hundred?! Lin Yuan almost felt his vision go black. 

He took a deep breath and prayed to the original plot. According to the plot, he would be able to go home alive today. 

Lin Yuan looked at his cheap twin brother. The two brothers looked quite similar, but Lin Yuan’s apricot eyes were round and moist, making his small face more beautiful. He patted the other’s shoulder and said with a little melancholy: “Don’t worry, you’ll definitely be fine…”

Soon, you’ll have two husbands fighting over you every day~

Suddenly, the ghosts surrounding the car dispersed, replaced by an extremely gloomy chill. What an obvious signal that the plot was coming… Lin Yuan almost accidentally said goodbye to Lin Wang.

In the next moments, the doors on their sides opened and the two of them were held hostage by the ghost kings and disappeared from the back seat. 

Lin Yuan didn’t dare to move, like a kitten caught by the scruff of its neck. On the other hand, Lin Wang struggled greatly: “Who are you?! Let go of me!! Let go!!”

The two ghost kings began to mock each other.

The one holding Lin Wang sneered: “You’re as blind as a bat, the one you chose is dumb.”

The ghost king behind Lin Yuan said coldly: “So what if he’s dumb, he’s still obedient. Better than your loudspeaker, it’s so noisy.”

Lin (dumb) Yuan: “...”

Lin (loudspeaker) Wang: “...”

The Yin energy on the ghost king’s body was so heavy that their surroundings were covered in black fog. Lin Yuan couldn’t even see his hands. It was like they were trapped in a black ball, until an icy-blue sword light broke through.

Knowing he was about to be saved, Lin Yuan was so excited that he burst into tears. 

The ghost king behind Lin Wang said leisurely: “A sword? You must be from the Xie family. Mr. Xie, let’s play a game. You choose one of the two extreme Yin bodies to save, and the other one will be our dinner today.”

A cold and indifferent voice sounded: “You both are ghost kings, so the extreme Yin body is not useful to you. Why do you need to kill the innocent and incur the wrath of heaven?”

In the plot, the protanogist gong actually never harmed people. To increase his cultivation, he only absorbed evil ghosts.

The ghost king’s lips curled disdainfully: “No need for nonsense, just choose one.” After his words fell, the two ghost kings flew in opposite directions. 

Other Xie family members hadn’t arrived to help yet, and Xie Daolan was clear he couldn't hesitate so he randomly chased one of them. The ghost king had no intention to fight for real. After exchanging a few moves, the ghost king casually threw Lin Yuan aside.

This personality of the protagonist gong was obviously quite unfriendly, he didn’t even give a warning before he threw someone. 

Thanks to Xie Daolan’s quick reaction, Lin Yuan didn’t turn into a meat patty. 

Lin Yuan was suddenly airborne and confused, and then crashed into an embrace that smelled faintly of incense. It was a little strange, but Lin Yuan knew that this was the person he loved the most. 

Smelling this quiet and calm scent, Lin Yuan finally relaxed the breath that had been stuck in his throat since he came to this world. 

Xie Daolan’s body temperature was naturally low. When he hugged the teenager, it felt like holding a piece of warm jade. 

When Lin Yuan’s feet finally touched the ground, he couldn't wait to open his eyes. The first thing he saw was the man’s thin lips, and then his handsome face came completely into view. The man’s thin eyebrows and sharp eyes made him seem cold and aloof. 

Xie Daolan seemed to notice Lin Yuan’s eyes and looked down at him slightly. The hand on Lin Yuan’s back waist let go, and the man took two steps back to pull the distance between them. 

Lin Yuan bowed his head and said shyly: “Mr. Xie, thank you for saving me.”

Xie Daolan’s voice was indifferent: “No need for thanks.” At this time, he noticed the jade hidden under Lin Yuan’s collar and his eyes deepened a little: “You’ve grown so much.”

Lin Yuan also looked down and held the jade pendant around his neck: “Mr. Xie, do you know me?”

Xie Daolan’s voice was still cold: “I’ve met you once.” He took out a yellow talisman from his sleeve: “Take it. You don’t need to worry about anything until your eighteenth birthday. As for whether or not you can survive after that, it depends on your fate.”

Lin Yuan tilted his head in confusion. 

Xie Daolan waited for a few seconds but didn’t hear an answer. He shook his hand: “Don’t need it?”

Lin Yuan quickly snapped upright and took the talisman: “I didn’t say no. I want it.”

He asked nervously: “Then um, what if my fate is not good?”

Xie Daolan’s words were cold and cruel: “Then you are not destined to live past eighteen.”

Lin Yuan: QAQ

Ok, then you are destined to not have a wife.
