Quick Transmigration: Hosts, We're Only Responsible for Counterattacking

Chapter 71 National Treasures Reign Supreme (6)

"I have a way to make it grow, but you have to grant me one request."

His expression didn't improve as she expected; instead, it turned rather grim. "Will you have to pay a price for letting it grow?"

Strange? He actually figured it out. "There's no such thing as a free lunch. I can only tell you that its appearance is beneficial to you, to the entire Si family, and even to the future."

If it were that easy, Si Yiyang wouldn't have remained inactive about it his entire life.

"Seven Leaves" does not need water for irrigation; it only needs something with spiritual energy. And right now, the only thing Shen Yun can offer is spiritual blood.

"But don't worry, it won't hurt me. Just don't forget the conditions you promised me when it grows."

For the next few days, Shen Yun would bleed the creature when they were not around. The creature was quite obedient and was overjoyed to see the spirit blood. After a few days, it was no longer as lifeless as before, but instead sprouted tender buds.

Although Luo Yuan was angry after that day, there was nothing she could do. She could only comfort herself that a little girl like her couldn't cause any trouble.

That's what I think, but how I actually do it is another matter.

In particular, this laboratory is not easily accessible to ordinary people. She only got in after begging Grandpa Si. Why should this little girl be allowed to come in so easily?

Moreover, the experimental data stopped thereafter, and who knows what that brat did inside.

Thinking this, she slowed her pace and quietly opened the door a crack. Looking inside, she saw that Si Yiyang had gone out to buy something, so only Shen Yun was left.

The weather was hot, and all I could hear outside the window was the croaking of frogs.

Yet, even amidst this sweltering heat, Luo Yuan's heart remained icy cold.

Shen Yun glanced at the doorway and sighed deeply. As usual, he took out his battered left hand, slashed it, and let the glistening blood slowly drip into the "Seven Leaves." Luo Yuan shakily took out his phone from his pocket and recorded the scene.

The plant's roots absorbed all the blood, and even though there was no wind in the room, its branches and leaves swayed from side to side.

Even after walking for a long time, Luo Yuan felt that her hands and feet were ice-cold.

Being able to remain undetected is already the limit.

Luo Yuan is an atheist, but what happened today far exceeded her ability to accept.

With trembling hands, she made a phone call, asked a few questions, and then calmly hung up.

With a complicated expression, she backed up the video she had just taken.

There is no such person as Si Qi in the Si family. My grandfather has been in the Si family for so many years, he couldn't possibly be wrong. But these words came from Yi Yang's mouth. He clearly knows her identity, or perhaps he was also deceived.

If this video were shown to Yi Yang, he would definitely be able to see her true colors.

Just as Luo Yuan was about to do so, she suddenly realized that if Yi Yang had known about this from the beginning, then whatever she said now would be useless.

Even the Si family wouldn't help me.

Therefore, she must keep this video carefully until it can bring her the greatest benefit.

No one will believe this if it gets out, but if anyone sees this, Si Qi's fate will certainly not be good.

However, Si Yiyang still noticed Shen Yun's actions.

The reason was that Shen Yun fainted while taking a bath.

Of course, Shen Yun believed that such a pathetic act must have been done by Gou Zai.

2345: I swear to God, it really wasn't it this time. It didn't even have a chance to do it yet.

The man before her had a dark expression; his usually slightly upturned lips were tightly pressed together, his eyes were deep and unfathomable, and his entire being was shrouded in a sinister aura. He looked at the wound on her hand with pity in his eyes. "Is this the price you spoke of?" Shen Yun's head throbbed even more. The wound was supposed to heal on its own, so who was it that had made it reappear?

2345, seeking credit, says, "Host, I did this."

Shen Yun: ...mmp
She could only soothe him, saying, "Actually, it's nothing serious, just a few drops of blood."

He gripped her arm, his voice chilling, "A few drops of blood? That's all?"

Why does smoothing your hair make things worse?

"Don't worry, I'm really fine. I've been cultivating for so long, it's not like I'm reckless."

2345 couldn't help but sneer, "[The Spirit-Guiding Pill: A bizarre, suicidal death.]"

Shen Yun: "I think you're just dreaming."

"Then why are you doing this?" His eyes were deep, seemingly filled with starlight, enticingly asking, "Xiao Qi, tell me, why are you doing this?"

"For you, isn't this what you've always wanted? And besides, this..."

He seemed to have made up his mind, gritting his teeth as he said, "Say no more, I don't want this plant. If it comes at the cost of you getting hurt, I'd rather not have this result."

The system, already prepared with tissues, looked delighted as it watched the spiel.

"Slap!" Shen Yun slapped him across the face.

"Are you out of your mind? I've been bleeding you out every day, every single day. You think it doesn't hurt? I'm just saying it doesn't hurt. Try cutting yourself a few times and see if it hurts. It's been almost half a month, and there are only a few days left. You want me to give up? I think you really want me to beat you to death."

Like a little lion with its mane bristling, Chen Yun kept chattering away.

2345's popcorn spilled all over the floor with a clatter, and it whimpered, "This is too much!"

Seeing her little mouth opening and closing, Si Yiyang felt annoyed and, in a moment of blankness, he shut her up.

The word "love" can be sweet or bitter; who can truly know the taste within?

The moonlight outside the window seemed to grow softer, gently rippling on the treetops and making soft sounds.

She shoved him away abruptly, her mind still reeling. Once she came to her senses, she was on the verge of a breakdown. The more she broke down, the calmer her expression became. "Are you crazy? I'm a panda! You're doing this...you're doing this to animals! Ugh, shameless!"

"Hehehe." He chuckled softly, his voice hoarse, staring intently at her with deep eyes. "Si Qi, this is how I, Si Yiyang, am by nature. I never care about what others think."

Shen Yun: "I do care."

Ignoring her, Si Yiyang continued, "The first time I saw you on the mountain, I knew you were mine."

"Pah!" Shen Yun said angrily. "Shameless! I'm a national treasure!"

"No matter what, we are destined to be together. You are a gift from God."

Shen Yun: "Heh."

Seeing how adorable she looked when she was angry, Si Yiyang abandoned his previous reserved demeanor and forcibly moved her into his room.

Although Shen Yun repeatedly refused, it had no effect and even resulted in some unspeakable punishments.

Bah, so shameless.

I'm going back to school the day after tomorrow morning, and my thesis defense is the day after that. These past few days I've been posting my drafts. Good luck with the defense!
