Quick Transmigration: The Villain is Destiny, the Protagonist Takes a Backseat

Li Yu inhaled the aroma of the winter melon and pork rib soup, feeling somewhat guilty. "It's my fault; I've let you down."

Seeing the man lower his eyes in remorse, Ji Qiuzhe wanted to slap himself twice. He really knew he had to bring up the most sensitive topic. He knew that this was what Li Yu cared about the most.

He put down his chopsticks, stood up, and picked up the grieving person in his arms.

"Don't be sad, I misspoke. I'll make it up to you when we get back to your room!"

Li Yu was startled.

Feeling the strong chest of the person holding him, he couldn't help but feel a little shy.

No one knows how Ji Qiuzhe did it. In such a short time, he has become much stronger, transforming from a skinny guy into a handsome young man with six-pack abs. Even his height is showing signs of surpassing his.

His once round face has become more angular, and while he doesn't look as cute as before, he seems to have completed his transformation from boy to man, becoming even more charming.

Li Yu felt that if his lost heart could still beat, it would probably run rampant in the confined space.

"How...how will you compensate us?"

Sensing his panic, Ji Qiuzhe chuckled ambiguously, tossed him onto the bed, and parted his thin lips slightly: "Of course... it's flesh, payment."

Li Yu dared not speak, burying her face in the fluffy quilt with embarrassment, only revealing a pair of unbelievably beautiful eyes staring at him without blinking.

Ji Qiuzhe's Adam's apple bobbed. He hadn't eaten dinner, but he could fill up if he ate something else.

[Darkness level -2%, current darkness level 88%.]

…………

Yes, even small pieces of minced meat are still meat.

Early the next morning.

Ji Qiuzhe saw Yu Jia and Yu Lou, dressed in sportswear, clearing away the dishes in the dining room in the living room.

Li Yu had been fooling around with Ji Qiuzhe last night and was unusually tired, so he stayed up with him and slept. Now he looks exceptionally energetic.

Yu Jia looked at the obvious hickey on his neck, her lips twitching as she quickly lowered her head.

Being single is tough!

Yu Lou saw all of this, but said nothing and silently handed her a bottle of water.

Drink up, a little water will make you feel less hungry.

The four of them drove an SUV to Aunt Pang's building.

Aunt Pang had been waiting at the door for a long time, accompanied by a handsome young man who looked sunny and cheerful. When he saw them, he grinned, revealing eight big white teeth.

"Hello everyone!"

He exudes a sense of innocence and freshness, as if he has just entered the workforce.

Ning Hao had a car, but Pang Miao was not in a good mental state, so she stayed in the car. After exchanging a few brief pleasantries, the group got into their respective cars and headed towards their destination.

Qingning Village is in the next city, about 200 kilometers away from Huanan City, which takes three hours by car.

I thought it would be a backward little mountain village, but it has developed unexpectedly well.

Yu Lou drove behind Ning Hao's car, heading up a winding mountain road. Along the way, they encountered many vehicles coming down the mountain from time to time, of all types, and even a professionally dressed motorcycle convoy.

"Something's wrong."

Ji Qiuzhe murmured.

"What's wrong?" Li Yu asked.

"Nothing about it is right."

Whether it was the excessively wide new highway, the various promotional buildings that were obviously newly built along the roadside, or the strong scent of incense emanating from every person coming down the mountain that he couldn't ignore.

Ji Qiuzhe checked online and found that Qingning Village had suddenly developed in the last three years.

According to records, three years ago, a wealthy man came to Qingning Village by chance and stayed there for three days. After returning home, he donated all his wealth to Qingning Village, helping the originally backward village to completely get rid of the original mud-brick houses and build red brick and tile houses.

They also leveraged the village's existing advantage in tea cultivation, introduced special tea varieties, produced high-quality tea, developed tourism, and boosted the village's economic development, aiming to achieve a moderately prosperous life for every household.

In just three years, a backward mountain village located in a remote area has developed into the richest village in the city.

The internet is full of praise, with everyone considering it a beautiful story and a miracle.

Logically speaking, everyone who comes to Qingning Village will buy some local specialty tea to take home.

But along the way, among the dozens of groups of people I encountered, not a single one had the scent of tea on them. Instead, there was a pungent smell of incense that was so strong that it couldn't be blown away by the wind.

This suggests that there is a very popular temple on the mountain.

Why is such an important matter not mentioned at all in the documents?

"you're right."

After listening to Ji Qiuzhe's analysis, Li Yu also lowered his voice. Zombies are extremely sensitive to the smell of incense, and he could smell it too.

Yu Lou and Yu Jia in the front seats exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes. They only knew that Ji Qiuzhe was a cunning little green tea who was good at seducing her master, but they didn't expect that he was actually quite clever.

At least they didn't see this information!

As they were talking, the car had already arrived at the entrance of Qingning Village.

There is a huge square at the entrance of the village, where all the vehicles of tourists park. The sheer number of vehicles is quite impressive.

Without delay, the group got off the bus.

"Auntie, Brother Zhe, knowing you were coming, my parents have already prepared lunch at home. It's lunchtime, so please come and eat with me first."

Ning Hao greeted them very warmly.

No one had any objection.

Pang Miao also got out of the car and leaned against Aunt Pang's chest like she had no bones, looking completely dazed.

Aunt Pang and Ning Hao each supported Pang Miao with one arm, while Ji Qiuzhe and the others followed behind.

The road into the village is a small path paved with cobblestones. There are a few small stalls set up along the roadside, selling nothing but incense, yellow paper, and candles used by temples.

There wasn't a single shop selling tea.

Ji Qiuzhe and Li Yu exchanged a glance, and they understood what was going on.

Ning Hao's house is not far from the village entrance. The two elderly people stood at the door early to welcome them. When they saw the group, their faces lit up with simple smiles.

"Dad, Mom," Ning Hao called out.

Ning Hao's mother hurriedly greeted them:

"Come on, let's eat! I've prepared a table full of local farm-style dishes. His father killed a free-range chicken this morning; it's very nutritious!"

After introductions, the group took their seats.

Pang Miao was placed in Ning Hao's room, and Aunt Pang brought in food and stayed with her.

Ning Hao was worried about his girlfriend's condition, so he quickly ate a few bites and put down his chopsticks before going inside to keep her company.

Once he left, only Ji Qiuzhe and the other three remained at the table. As for Ning Hao's parents, they absolutely refused to sit down at the table, insisting that they would eat after the guests had finished.

Ji Qiuzhe tried to persuade them, but to no avail, so he just let them be.

Ji Qiuzhe always ate very quickly. He put down his chopsticks and instructed Yu Jia and Yu Lou to stay at Ning Hao's house to keep watch, and then took Li Yu, who did not need to eat, and went out.

Yu Jia and Yu Lou, who were eager to swallow their food and go out together: ...

As soon as they stepped outside, Li Yu asked, "Are you buying incense?"

Ji Qiuzhe looked at him approvingly, "You guessed right, here's a kiss as a reward."

He nodded to the corner of his lips as he spoke.

Li Yu didn't move. He didn't understand why he should reward Ji Qiuzhe even though he guessed correctly.
