After the evil mother-in-law was reborn, the whole family collapsed
Chapter 574 Doubt
Tong Ming was confused and always felt that his girlfriend was hiding something from him.
But what is it?
Does she have someone outside?
Otherwise, why do I come home later and later? Moreover, she doesn't reply when I send her messages.
"Why don't you text me back?"
Qu Xue looked guilty, her eyes dodged, and she stammered, "I... I've been very busy at work recently, and my phone has been on silent mode, so I didn't notice the message. You know, our company recently took on a big project, and I've been working overtime every day. I'm so busy that I'm dizzy."
Tong Ming looked at her flickering eyes, and the suspicion in his heart not only did not decrease, but became stronger.
He stared at Qu Xue, with a hint of anger and disappointment in his tone, and asked directly: "Do you have someone else outside? Your recent behavior is too abnormal. Not only do you come home late, but you also don't reply to messages. This is not like a normal relationship at all."
Qu Xue was shocked, her eyes wide open, as if she had been wronged. She quickly waved her hands to deny, "What are you talking about, Tong Ming! How could I do that? Don't you understand my feelings for you? We have been together for so long."
"Then tell me, why haven't I seen you even on weekends recently? If you are really busy with work, you can at least give me a call to let me know."
Qu Xue was silent.
There's no way, she signed a confidentiality agreement...
He knows nothing.
Seeing her like this, Tong Ming's anger suddenly burned even more fiercely. He took a step forward, stared at Qu Xue, and asked loudly: "What do you mean by not speaking? If it's not true, then tell me what's going on, right?"
"There are some things I can't tell you... Anyway, just believe me. I really haven't done anything to let you down. You'll know after a while..."
"So, how long do you think it will take?"
Qu Xue couldn't give a specific time. After all, the higher-ups didn't say how long it would take to announce it.
She could only vaguely tell Tong Ming to exercise more when he has nothing to do, as it would be beneficial to exercise more.
Tong Ming: “…”
I'm talking to you about this and you're talking to me about that. Isn't it too obvious that you're changing the subject?
Tong Ming decided that he would secretly follow Qu Xue to see what she was doing.
The next day he asked for leave and followed Qu Xue. Qu Xue went to work without knowing anything, and after work, she took a taxi directly.
Tong Ming hurried to catch up.
Sure enough, it was not the direction of home. Just when he thought he had successfully caught the adulterer, he found that Qu Xue had gone to the police station...
Tong Ming stood outside the police station, stunned.
She can't possibly find someone from the police station, right?
Could it be that he is here to do some business?
What is she going to do?
Tong Ming tried to call Qu Xue, but Qu Xue didn't answer. Instead, she sent him a message saying that she was working overtime.
Tong Ming: “…”
Ha ha!
Working overtime at the police station, right?
Time passed minute by minute, and Tong Ming felt as if a century had passed.
Finally, when it was getting dark, Qu Xue came out.
She looked a little tired.
Tong Ming quickly hid himself.
In the next few days, he found that Qu Xue would come here after work.
Tong Ming: “…”
Tong Ming really couldn't bear it anymore. The torment and confusion in his heart were like a surging tide, completely drowning him.
On another evening when Qu Xue went to the police station after get off work, he was already waiting at the door of the police station, his eyes full of determination.
When Qu Xue's figure appeared, he rushed forward and stood in front of Qu Xue like a wall, his face full of anger and unwillingness.
"Qu Xue, what are you doing?" Tong Ming shouted loudly, his voice becoming hoarse due to extreme emotional fluctuations.
"You've been going to this police station for several days in a row, and every time you lied to me that you were working overtime. What on earth did you hide from me? Is there anything between us that we can't talk about directly?"
When Qu Xue saw Tong Ming, a trace of panic flashed across her face.
"Do you know how I have been spending the past few days? I have been wondering every day whether you have betrayed me or whether you have someone else. I followed you because I wanted to know the truth, but you disappointed me time and time again." Tong Ming's voice became louder and louder, and passers-by around him cast curious glances at him.
Just then, something unexpected happened.
Tong Ming was so excited that there seemed to be an irresistible force surging in his body.
As soon as he opened his mouth, a string of flames shot out of it, just like the fire-breathing special effects in the movies, but it was so real that it was shocking.
This sudden change made Tong Ming stand there dumbfounded, his eyes wide open, his face full of fear and disbelief.
When Qu Xue saw this, although she was also very shocked, she was experienced after all and did not panic.
She quickly took out a health monitoring bracelet from her bag, took a few steps forward, and put it on Tong Ming's wrist, while anxiously saying, "Tong Ming, calm down, calm down first!"
Tong Ming looked at the bracelet on his wrist, then at his mouth that had just spewed fire, and was still in extreme confusion.
Soon, the people in the police station noticed the commotion outside and invited them both in.
In an office in the police station, they were received by a middle-aged man in police uniform.
The man had a serious expression on his face, looking back and forth between Tong Ming and Qu Xue.
"Qu Xue, what's going on?" the man asked.
Qu Xue took a deep breath and said slowly: "Captain, he is my boyfriend Tong Ming. I think he has just awakened and become a cultivator."
When Tong Ming heard this, he was bewildered and had no idea what Qu Xue was talking about.
Qu Xue turned to Tong Ming, her eyes filled with a hint of guilt and tenderness: "Tong Ming, I'm sorry for keeping it a secret from you. In fact, I awakened some time ago and became a cultivator. There is a confidentiality agreement on it, so I can't tell you. I came to the police station because I was training here these days, so I came home late and lied to you."
As Tong Ming listened to Qu Xue's explanation, the anger in his heart gradually subsided, replaced by deep shock and confusion.
"Immortal cultivator? How is that possible?" he muttered to himself.
……
Tong Ming had joked with others before, saying how great it would be if he could become an immortal and he would do this and that. He never expected that this dream would come true so soon.
Not only him, many people in Xia Country have quietly joined the ranks of practitioners.
Even if it was only a minority of the total population at the beginning, the Xia Kingdom had a large population base. Even if it was only a few tenths of a percent, when distributed to certain individuals, that would still be a lot of people.
Fortunately, the Xia Kingdom was well prepared. Although there was some confusion, it was brought under control before the impact expanded.
Ruan Yaoyao is also busier.
I don’t know if it’s because there are more and more immortal cultivators in Xia Country, and the number of small worlds is also increasing. Either this person accidentally fell into a small world, or that street was drawn into a small world.
Fortunately, as more immortal cultivators appeared, there were fewer tasks that Ruan Yaoyao needed to complete personally, and all she needed to do was "collect the keys."
Then connect these worlds one by one.
The whole world seems to have been fast-forwarded, with huge changes happening every day and advancing with each passing day.
You might be in school the day before and working as a tasker in the small world the next day.
……
Wen Ningtian just went downstairs to walk the dog, humming a little tune as usual, and leisurely strolling on the familiar roads in the community.
From time to time, she squatted down, stroked Doudou's furry head, and talked to it softly.
The sunlight shines through the gaps between the leaves onto the ground, forming spots of light. Everything seems so peaceful and harmonious.
However, when she turned a corner, the scene before her suddenly changed.
The familiar community roads disappeared, replaced by a dense and deep forest.
Tall trees blocked out the sun, a damp mist filled the air, and the ground beneath one's feet was soft and smelled of earth.
Wen Ningtian froze in place for an instant, his eyes wide open with fear and disbelief.
"This...what's going on?" Her voice trembled slightly with fear.
Just as she was at a loss, a huge praying mantis, as tall as her, suddenly jumped out from the bushes.
It waved its sharp forelimbs, and its two compound eyes on its triangular head flashed with cold light as it pounced straight towards Wen Ningtian.
Wen Ningtian screamed in fear, her legs went weak and she almost collapsed to the ground.
At the critical moment, Doudou, who had been with her, suddenly let out a low roar.
Its body swelled rapidly, and the originally cute Wusong dog instantly became huge, like a giant beast as big as a hut.
Every hair on its body stood up, and its eyes revealed ferocity and determination.
Facing the mantis that was pouncing on it, Doudou was not afraid at all. It jumped high, bit the mantis's neck, and shook it hard. The ferocious mantis fell heavily to the ground. After struggling for a few times, it became motionless.
Wen Ningtian was still in shock, tears welled up in her eyes as she watched what was happening before her eyes.
She hugged the enlarged Doudou tightly and burst into tears: "Doudou, thank you, you saved me..."
After a long while, she slowly stood up and looked around vigilantly, trying to figure out where she was.
There was a sound of orderly footsteps coming from not far away.
Wen Ningtian's heart tightened and he subconsciously hid behind Doudou.
Soon, a group of fully armed soldiers in camouflage uniforms appeared in her sight.
The leader was a young military officer. He was slightly stunned when he saw Wen Ningtian and the giant Doudou.
When Wen Ningtian saw them, he felt like he had seen a savior. He quickly told them what had happened to him and asked for help.
Then, Wen Ningtian became a "practitioner".
Wen Ningtian: “…”
Wen Ningtian was full of confusion. He looked at Zhu Yuzhen beside him, his eyes full of curiosity and bewilderment.
Zhu Yuzhen sighed softly, smoothed the hair around her ears, and began to tell her own equally bizarre experience.
"I was thinking of taking a shortcut home after work. I was so exhausted that day, so I just wanted to lie down on the bed as soon as possible." Her voice was full of fatigue and emotion. "But when I looked up, the familiar street was gone. There was only a gloomy forest in front of me. The trees were so tall that they almost reached the sky. It was foggy all around. I was stunned at the time."
Wen Ningtian was listening intently and couldn't help but interrupt: "What happened next?"
Zhu Yuzhen smiled bitterly and shook her head, continuing, "Before I could react, a mouse about my size rushed out from the bushes. It was so fast that it almost hit me. I was so scared that my legs went limp and my heart almost jumped out of my throat."
"But I'm lucky. My grandfather reminded me to get out of the way quickly." Zhu Yuzhen looked at the translucent figure beside her, her eyes full of attachment and gratitude.
Wen Ningtian followed her gaze and saw an old man with a kind face, looking at them with a smile, but his body was faintly translucent and exuded a faint aura.
"This is my grandfather," Zhu Yuzhen introduced. "He has been dead for almost ten years. I didn't expect that I would meet him again under such circumstances."
"Because of my grandfather, I was exposed to the cultivation methods of the Tianshi Sect and became a practitioner." Zhu Yuzhen's eyes flickered with a different light. "The Tianshi Sect focuses on exorcising evil spirits and communicating yin and yang. The country arranged a master for me to practice well."
"This is too amazing. How is your cultivation going?" Wen Ningtian was stunned. He didn't expect that there were even Celestial Masters in the world of cultivating immortals?!
Zhu Yuzhen tilted her head and thought for a while, then said, "It was very difficult at the beginning. It took me a long time to memorize those runes and spells. And when practicing, you have to concentrate and feel the spiritual energy around you. If you are distracted for a moment, all your efforts will be wasted.
However, I gradually mastered some skills. One time, they encountered a naughty monster and asked me to help. I set up a simple magic circle, and I didn’t expect that I could really deal with it…”
In just a short while, several people came, all of whom "broke in" for various reasons.
Men and women of all ages.
Some people go to the toilet and find themselves in a different place as soon as they open the door. Others forget to take their keys and turn around to find that they have moved to a different place.
What's more, she was arguing with her boyfriend one moment and found herself here the next.
"Then... your boyfriend must have been frightened and thought you were missing!"
"They said they would notify my boyfriend and tell him that I was on a business trip." Lao Yishuang was relatively calm. She was arguing with him anyway, so it would be better for her to leave him and calm down.
Zhu Yuzhen and Wen Ningtian, two single guys, had no idea how to answer.
