I just broke up with my boyfriend and then I transmigrated into the world of "The Lost Tomb&quo

Wu Sansheng was in an unexpectedly good mood after using the restroom. Wu Erbai was right; Ling Xiao was not one to suffer a loss. He was patient and knew how to assess the situation. Even though Ling Xiao had gone too far, he was still able to turn a disadvantage into an advantage. Perhaps he really could protect the remaining children of the Nine Gates.

Even if he's innocent, he still needs to work on his character. He and that fat guy are the most impatient people in this room.

As for whether Ling Xiao will actually eat Chen Wenjin, haha, even a fool could see he won't. Speaking of which, how much stuff did Cheng Yu use... here we go again!

—In the lobby

Jieyuhua took a handkerchief and stepped forward to wipe Lingxiao's face, saying, "Alright, stop teasing your future aunt." Lingxiao pouted and took the handkerchief.

Wu Xie stared blankly, hesitant to speak. Xie Yuhua sat down next to Ling Xiao and explained to Chen Wenjin, "We know what Uncle Wu came to ask for today. We have seen your tests of Ling Xiao. Ling Xiao did not really mean to make things difficult for you. It's just that... this resurrection requires dying once first, and we have to ensure that the soul does not dissipate."

A thousand years ago, no one knew what method the Prince of Shou used to preserve Yu Nu's soul. If it really came to that, it would be best to replicate it step by step. But that's not the most crucial point. The crucial point is the process of resurrection, which requires immense suffering to survive.

"I...I can." Chen Wenjin pondered for a moment, and finally said cautiously. Given the chance to live, who would willingly become a forbidden woman? Although Wu Sansheng always came to see her, she couldn't remember the last time she had gone out normally to see the sunlight and the bustling streets.

She could feel the changes over the past few months; her body's transformation into a forbidden woman had become more severe. Even with the medication to suppress it, it was to no avail, which was very detrimental to her. Once she became a forbidden woman, many things would become impossible to carry out.

"Alright, since you're so determined, I'll bring a contract in a couple of days. Once you sign it, you can go to the experimental base." Ling Xiao relented; he never stopped anyone who wanted to die.

"Please tell my third uncle that while helping others is possible without asking for favors, it's not a free lunch. It's an exchange of equal value." Ling Xiao raised his teacup to Chen Wenjin, then put it to his lips before placing it back on the table with a smile. "The tea's gone cold, so I won't drink it."

Chen Wenjin nodded somewhat awkwardly. It had been a long time since she had spoken to a stranger. Usually, Wu Sansheng would listen to whatever she said and had already paved the way for her. But this time, not only did he scare her, but she couldn't respond to a single word he said. Even if she wanted to say thank you, she was too afraid to do so and missed the best time.

Even after seeing Wu Sansheng again, Aunt Chen only whispered, "I've seen crazy people, but I've never seen anyone this crazy." She was suddenly afraid that she would also go crazy after being brought back to life. Fortunately, Wu Sansheng comforted her by saying that Ling Xiao had been a madman before, which calmed her down.

"Why did they suddenly put on such a show?" After the others left, Xie Yuhua took the child back to the room and asked while massaging his shoulders.

"What? You think your precious third uncle can set fires but I, a commoner, can't even light a lamp? He's acting like he's the master of the house, which is infuriating me. If I don't teach him a lesson, why should I give him something in return? He'll be calling me a pushover in front of Wu Erbai."

Ling Xiao then complained, "Today was so outrageous, and none of you stepped forward to speak up for me. No one criticized Wu Sansheng for being so unreasonable. It was all me alone. Is Brother Xiaohua tired of me? Otherwise, why would he let me suffer all this alone?"
