Godslayer: The Progenitor of Symbiotes

"……Um?"

Chen Shu's brain felt like it had been stuffed with a bomb, turning into a complete mess.

It took Chen Shu a full five or six seconds to react. He broke free from Qin Xue's hands, took a few steps back in a daze, and only stopped when he leaned against the wall.

Qin Xue didn't understand why Chen Shu suddenly "ran away," and looked at Chen Shu strangely with her moist eyes.

"Ahem..." Chen Shu thought for a while, then said somewhat embarrassedly, "Was that a bit... direct?"

"Hehe..." Qin Xue saw Chen Shu's expression and instantly realized that he was shy.

Sitting up from the bed, Qin Xue slowly walked to Chen Shu, placed her hands on his, interlocked her fingers, and the two were only a hair's breadth apart.

Qin Xue tilted her head slightly, staring intently at Chen Shu, whose body was tense and who dared not move. "Didn't you just say you wanted me to kiss you? Now you think it's too direct?"

"...So you were shy before, but you're not shy now?" Chen Shu thought for a moment, then, feeling he couldn't lose to Qin Xue, he stubbornly retorted.

Qin Xue's resentment towards Chen Shu for his previous unpleasant answer was instantly dispelled by his adorable stubbornness.

"But you don't even dare to look at me," Qin Xue said with a smile.

Chen Shu let out a heavy sigh of relief. He was, after all, a "Sea" Realm cultivator, yet he was mocked by a girl.

...I'm going all in! I've already confessed my feelings anyway.

He locked Qin Xue's hands behind his back, then moved behind her and gently pressed down, instantly eliminating the tiny gap between them.

Feeling the strong body pressed tightly against her, giving her a strong sense of security, Qin Xue's pupils suddenly widened in panic, and her heart began to beat faster involuntarily.

"...It smells so good."

Feeling the fragrance emanating from the soft body in his arms, Chen Shu spoke from the bottom of his heart.

Qin Xue lowered her head in a panic, inwardly exclaiming, "Something's not right!"

He was just a moment ago looking completely lost and too nervous to move, how did he suddenly...?

I had clearly considered it for a long time before making up my mind.

"Alright, I'm not teasing you anymore. We need to go back now, we can't let your parents misunderstand."

Chen Shu released Qin Xue's hands, lifted her head, and looked serious.

"So what if it's a misunderstanding? Anyway, my dad likes you a lot." Qin Xue pouted, shook her head slightly, and didn't care at all.

Chen Shu disagreed with Qin Xue's idea and pulled her outside, saying, "No, that's not an excuse. Besides, my character can't be tarnished like this."

……

"Hey, stop sighing, it's distracting me from my sight."

Since Qin Xue and Chen Shu left, Qin's mother has lost interest in looking at anything and has been sitting beside them sighing incessantly.

The sighs grew increasingly impatient with Qin Yueguan.

"Is Xue'er your daughter? Aren't you afraid she might do something foolish?"

Qin's mother glared angrily at Qin Yueguan, feeling like she was about to raise her hand and slap him across the face any second.

"Don't worry, my boss isn't that kind of person. He'll probably be back in a bit."

The chivalrous man, who had been watching from the sidelines, calmly spoke up, firmly believing that Chen Shu would not do anything.

The next second, just as the knight had said, Chen Shu and Qin Xue walked into the reception room.

"Uncle Qin, how did you find it? If it's alright, let's talk about future cooperation."

Hearing Chen Shu's voice, Qin Yueguan turned to look at him, her eyes filled with undisguised satisfaction.

This reflects both recognition of Chen Shu's abilities and acceptance that Chen Shu did not do anything for his daughter.

It's not that he doesn't care about his daughter. If Chen Shu wanted to do something, he wouldn't have waited until now; he could have done it six months ago.

Moreover, it wasn't Chen Shu who pulled Qin Xue out just now; it was Qin Xue who pulled Chen Shu.

"Hey, these are all good stuff. There are very few foreign gadgets in the country now. I suggest we auction them off; that way we can make more money."

“If it’s an auction, I’ll use my family’s connections to help you promote it, which should increase the bid.”

Chen Shu thought for a moment, then nodded, "How about we split it 70/30?"

It's not bad that I'm responsible for providing the goods and the Qin family is responsible for sales. Anyway, I don't plan to care about how these things are sold. If the Qin family is responsible for everything, a 70/30 split is already quite appropriate, since the risks on my side are extremely high.

Upon hearing this, Qin Yueguan immediately rejected Chen Shu's suggestion, "How can 70% work? That would be too unfair to you. We know how dangerous the fog is. Let's just take 10%."

Chen Shu was overjoyed. He hadn't expected Qin Yueguan to only ask for 10%. Although he thought so, he couldn't agree to it. After all, Chen Shu glanced at Qin Xue... they were all on the same side.

"Then let's split it 82/80, no need to discuss it, it's settled."

"Hahaha." Qin Yueguan laughed heartily, "Alright, it's settled then."

Qin's mother gave Qin Yueguan a disapproving look, then went to Chen Shu's side, looked at him with concern, and gently advised, "Mr. Chen, although we have reached this cooperation agreement, you must also pay attention to your safety. Sometimes it's not about how much money you have, but about having enough to live on."

"Okay, I definitely will. Thank you for your concern, Auntie." Chen Shu nodded gratefully.

"Okay, that's all for tonight. It's getting late, I'll have Lao Wu arrange rooms for you right away."

As she spoke, Qin's mother turned to look at Qin Feng, who was sitting on the sofa with his head down, seemingly lost in thought. "Feng'er, get some rest if you're alright. Don't go to the club tonight. Let's have dinner together tomorrow."

As she spoke, Qin's mother looked at Chen Shu and asked, "So, Mr. Chen, are you free tomorrow at noon?"

Chen Shu did have some time these past few days, but... Chen Shu turned to look at Fen Tian, ​​whose eyes had lit up at the mention of "eat"...

With her and me included, and the swordsman also having a symbiote within him, even a table full of food wouldn't be enough to satisfy our hunger...

"What's wrong? Mr. Chen, are you busy tomorrow?" Qin's mother asked again when Chen Shu did not answer.

Qin Xue took her mother's hand and shook it affectionately, saying matter-of-factly, "Mom, Brother Chen Shu is going out with me tomorrow, so of course he doesn't have time. Let's eat another day."

"You silly child, didn't you used to go to the school library to study every day? Why have you suddenly stopped going?"

Qin's mother affectionately tugged at Qin Xue's ear, "Alright then, we'll eat another day."

After ending the conversation, Qin's mother led Xia Ke, Fentian, Da Huang, and their dog to the guest room.

As for Chen Shu, Qin Xue naturally led him towards her own bedroom.

"Wait for me a moment, I'm going to change into my pajamas."

When they arrived at Qin Xue's room, Qin Xue stopped and spoke naturally.

"No, what happened after you changed into your pajamas?" Chen Shu asked Qin Xue, puzzled.

"You've taken down the door to my room, I definitely can't stay here anymore," Qin Xue said, feigning dissatisfaction as she pointed to the wooden door that Chen Shu had dismantled.

Looking at the wooden door he had smashed through with his fist, Chen Shu knew he was in the wrong and could only nod in agreement, "...Alright, you can go and replace it."
