The retired man went into the wrong book, and his beautiful husband loved him
Chapter 16: Heaven's Transaction
After boiling the hot water, he carefully washed Yun Qing's body and treated his wounds with care.
The overwhelming feeling of fatigue that surged like a tide seemed to swallow Yun Qing up, making him feel drowsy.
He was still feeling uneasy, fearing that he would lose something important if he closed his eyes.
Forcing himself to cheer up, Yun Qing hummed and buried his head in Lin Qiqi's warm neck, like a well-behaved and docile big dog.
"Go to sleep, don't worry, I'm not frightened and I will never leave." Lin Qiqi gently stroked Yun Qing's back and comforted him in a soft voice.
Her words seemed to contain some strange and mysterious soothing power. Before long, Yun Qing's tense nerves finally relaxed and his eyes slowly closed.
Lin Qiqi quickly cast a spell, casting a sleeping spell on Yun Qing, gently placed him on the bed, then clasped her hands together and muttered something.
The soul quietly left the body and floated above the curtain and disappeared.
A breeze blew silently into the room, causing the bed curtains to sway slightly.
A mysterious figure in a black cloak and a hood appeared beside the bed like a ghost.
This person held a shiny black jade staff in his hand and slowly and gracefully lifted the veil. Because his hood covered most of his face, it was impossible to see his true features, but a cold aura could be felt from the exposed part.
The faint blue light flickering at the top of the black jade staff exudes a hint of weirdness and mystery.
Lin Qiqi stared at the black shadow with cold eyes. When she saw that the other party was about to extend the black jade staff towards her eyebrows, she attacked without hesitation and knocked the black jade staff away with astonishing speed and strength.
The black shadow was obviously frightened and panicked. He turned around and wanted to escape, but the opposite happened. Not only did he fail to escape from the scene in an invisible way, he also failed to transform into other forms.
At this moment, tiny and dazzling golden lights began to flash all around. These lights quickly intertwined into dense golden threads, falling from the sky like a huge net, tightly enveloping the black shadow.
"Immortal Binding Formation!" the black shadow shouted in horror.
"You're quite knowledgeable." Lin Qiqi slowly emerged from her hiding place, her lips curled up slightly as she spoke with a hint of sarcasm. "I knew you'd take some action tonight, so I specially prepared this generous gift for you."
"You... have actually recovered your memory?" The black shadow was shocked, his voice trembling. "How is this possible? It absolutely cannot be so fast!"
"Haha~" Lin Qiqi sneered contemptuously, "It seems that my lost memories seem to be closely related to you."
Lin Qiqi mercilessly reached out and lifted the hood from the black figure's head. Then, she smiled coldly and said, "As I expected, you are the spirit of this tattered book."
Under the hood, a face as pale as paper was revealed, and its appearance was about four or five percent similar to Yun Qing.
"Hmph! It's really unpleasant to look at you with that face!" Lin Qiqi roared angrily.
"You should know that this so-called world in the book was originally created by me on a whim! However, you are just a faint trace of consciousness left over from when I created this world. How dare you try to claim this place as your own? It's simply a foolish dream!"
The Book Spirit shouted excitedly, "No! Absolutely not! Don't talk nonsense! This world belongs to me. I am the supreme Heavenly Dao here!"
Hearing this, a sneer of disdain appeared on Lin Qiqi's lips. "Oh, I think you really don't know your place! Have you forgotten who you really are? Don't you think about it? If I hadn't given you life and the meaning of existence, how could you be like this now? Just because you were infected with a tiny virus, you've lost yourself and forgotten everything else."
As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Qiqi reached out her hand without hesitation, brushed aside Shu Ling's messy hair, and then tightly grasped it. She walked straight to a mirror and pressed it against the mirror. At the same time, she pointed her finger behind Shu Ling's ear and shouted sternly: "Open your eyes and look carefully!"
Shu Ling looked at the mirror tremblingly, and was shocked to find that there was an extremely small and inconspicuous tattoo behind his ear - three numbers were clearly engraved on it: 077.
Lin Qiqi continued to sneer, "Well, now you finally understand, right? Every time I successfully create a new space, I will deliberately leave my own unique mark as proof. You still want to drive me out of this area and take over the power and dominate the area from now on? Don't dream! After all, you are just an awakened being who has just gained some self-awareness, but you are quite ambitious!"
Shu Ling stared at the signature in front of him, as if struck by a bolt from the blue, and was completely stunned.
How could this be possible? Ever since it gained self-awareness, it has always believed that it is the supreme heavenly way in this world!
Yet, at this moment, someone unexpectedly told it that it had only awakened a faint consciousness. This sudden truth was unacceptable to the book spirit, and its heart felt as heavy as if it had fallen into an abyss.
"Can we have a good chat now?" Lin Qiqi sat leisurely on the edge of the bed, her tone calm and cold.
Shu Ling had not yet recovered from such a heavy blow. His eyes were red and he stared at Lin Qiqi with resentment and hatred.
This woman was the culprit who destroyed all the beauty in it. Endless sadness surged in its heart. If the book spirit had tears, it would just want to cry its heart out.
Seeing Shu Ling like this, Lin Qiqi couldn't help but feel a headache.
She gently rubbed her forehead, then said to the book spirit with a hint of helplessness: "Don't cry so quickly, listen to me. Although I won't stay in this place forever, everything in the world follows certain laws and rules. Only when I successfully complete the ultimate mission given by the Space-Time Administration can I leave this place, and then this place will belong completely to you. Understand?"
Hearing this, the Book Spirit was stunned. There was such a rule? It sobbed and asked, "What about our previous deal? Does it still count?"
"Deal? What deal? You've wiped my memory! Now you actually have the nerve to ask me if I still remember that so-called deal?" Lin Qiqi said angrily.
"I... I really am at my wit's end," the Book Spirit said, sounding aggrieved. "Yun Qing was clearly the hero I carefully selected. He was supposed to achieve great things, rule this land, as I envisioned. However, who could have foreseen your sudden appearance, disrupting all those plans? Since then, he's lost his mind, becoming a love-struck maniac obsessed with chasing you. So, I tried every possible means to banish you from this world, hoping he'd return to the right path, continuing along the path I'd mapped out. But things haven't turned out the way I hoped. No matter how hard I try, you keep coming back here, time and time again. He's completely oblivious to how the world will develop, completely focused on finding you and waiting for your return. In the end, he even swallowed poison with a smile..."
The more Lin Qiqi listened, the more her headache intensified. "What kind of nonsense is this?! A mere book spirit is actually trying to decide who the male lead will be? This is simply ridiculous!"
She waved her hand impatiently and said, "Forget it, I'm too lazy to ask you anymore. Hurry up and bring the agreement over to me so I can see it! If you don't behave, don't blame me for being rude to you!" After that, a fierce look flashed in her eyes, full of warning.
Seeing this, Shu Ling couldn't help but shrink his neck, but still honestly took out a tattered piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Lin Qiqi.
The paper was covered in dense handwriting, words that were difficult to read. Lin Qiqi stretched out her right index and middle fingers, gently pinched a corner of the paper, and then carefully placed it on the center of her forehead. She closed her eyes and concentrated on reading the information.
In her previous life, Lin Qiqi finally returned to the world in the book, but her original body had already committed suicide.
Yun Qing was poisoned and disfigured. He was completely desperate and fell off a cliff after failing to seek revenge.
Lin Qiqi was dressed in red, looking at Yun Qing who fell lifeless off the cliff, and was furious.
The calligrapher felt Lin Qiqi's anger, but did not dare to show up, hiding in the clouds and pretending to be mysterious.
Lin Qiqi drew a formation that could destroy the world. Suddenly, a strong wind blew, rocks flew, waves crashed against the shore, and the sky and the earth changed color.
"She actually has this kind of power!" The book spirit was shocked. Seeing its own world slowly beginning to fall apart, it was extremely anxious.
Suddenly, Shu Ling remembered the button on the black jade staff that could not be touched: "There is still a chance, one more chance."
"Lin Qiqi, if Yunqing can be resurrected, what will you do?" Shu Ling tried her best to control her voice from trembling and spoke slowly.
"Yun Qing? Can you be resurrected? Don't lie to me!" Lin Qiqi's movements were obviously much slower.
"Let's make a deal. I'll rebuild this world, and Yun Qing can be resurrected." Shu Ling tempted.
"Again? Come back?" Lin Qiqi murmured, "Can you do it?"
"Yes!" The Book Spirit calmed down his pounding heart. "I only have one chance. I will turn this world back. As for the time point, it all depends on the amount of remaining energy."
"What do you want?" Lin Qiqi stared at the surging clouds with a sharp gaze that was chilling.
"This world is full of all kinds of extraordinary mysterious powers, and there are also many people or things that should not stay here. I hope to use the power of time to put the whole world back on track. And you, on my behalf, need to eliminate those factors that hinder the normal operation of the world and ensure that everything can develop according to the proper track." The voice of the book spirit echoed in the air.
Lin Qiqi frowned slightly and fell into a brief moment of contemplation. After a moment, she seemed to have made a decision: "Okay! I promise you."
As the words fell, the flickering magic circle on the ground gradually dimmed its light, and the originally surging energy fluctuations around it gradually subsided, returning to its former tranquility and peace.
"Heh~" Lin Qiqi, who had withdrawn from her memory, suddenly stretched out her right hand and tightly gripped Shu Ling's neck like an iron clamp.
She sneered, "Huh~ You're trying to trick me with this little trick? You're way too naive! Do you think you're smarter than me?"
Shu Ling was so frightened that he was shaking all over and didn't dare to move at all.
It never expected that it was just a little trick and was easily exposed by Lin Qiqi.
The so-called contract did exist, but its key clauses had already been secretly tampered with.
After all, it has no idea about the development trends of future events, and has no way of judging which choices are truly beneficial to the world.
Although it has always claimed to be the ruler of this world - the Way of Heaven, in fact, even it itself does not know what the world should eventually look like.
Now it knows that this place belongs to Lin Qiqi, and only Lin Qiqi herself knows what she wants this world to be like.
Unfortunately, she lost her memory. When the world was reset, the book spirit secretly played a trick and scattered Lin Qiqi's memory.
"Erase my memory and let Yunqing be resurrected with the memory. You want Yunqing to hate me so that he can be controlled by you." Lin Qiqi said casually.
The Book Spirit's heart was beating like a drum. How could he be discovered so easily? How terrifying!
"Let me ask you, what exactly is this abnormal energy you're talking about?" Lin Qiqi stared at Shu Ling sharply and then asked.
Although she knew that Shu Ling had concealed something from her and even deceived her before, some things might still be worth believing.
The book spirit hesitated for a moment, then lowered its voice and said, "This place is filled with many things that shouldn't exist. Some people are born with extremely strong luck, but their character isn't necessarily good. They may be intruders from another dimension, or perhaps they are the result of an oversight when this world was created."
As it spoke, the book spirit cautiously glanced at Lin Qiqi, as if afraid of angering her. However, it secretly thought that what it said was absolutely true and there was no falsehood in it.
"These people with powerful luck are scattered in every corner. Their existence has brought huge impact and influence to the country's fortune and people's lives. If we sit back and do nothing about it, it won't be long before some areas will collapse and fall, and the whole world will gradually decline and wither." Shu Ling continued to explain with a serious face.
"Then take a look at whether there is some extraordinary energy fluctuation in my body?" Lin Qiqi asked.
The Book Spirit was stunned for a moment, then muttered softly, "You can even cast a powerful formation like the Immortal Binding Formation, and you still have the nerve to ask me?"
Although the sound was small, it still did not escape Lin Qiqi's sharp ears. Judging from the current situation, the book spirit seemed to be unaware of the existence of the ice cream cone.
This means that the ice cream cone was not matched to this crappy book at all, but Lin Qiqi's own system, which, like Lin Qiqi, had lost or confused memory.
My system has been manipulated by other rubbish. I have to take revenge. It will be embarrassing.
