Godslayer: The Progenitor of Symbiotes

"Ahem! You guys come back with me first, and you can catch up after the exchange is over."

From behind, Yuan Gang strolled to the front of the group and slowly began to speak.

He happened to run into Chen Shu and his companion on his way to pick someone up at the train station.

Although extremely reluctant, he still chose to come with the two of them.

After all... the guy Shao Pingge mentioned who was personally awarded the "Star Sea" medal by Ye Fan, the commander-in-chief of the Great Xia Night Watch, was Chen Shu.

When Wu Xiangnan saw Yuan Gang, he immediately recognized him and extended his hand, saying, "Instructor Yuan, we meet again. I am Wu Xiangnan, the deputy captain of Squad 136."

Reaching out to grasp Wen Qimo's hand, she said, "No need to be so polite. We've already arranged accommodations. Please go and put down your luggage."

"Hey kid, come on, help me carry these two suitcases, I'm exhausted."

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Zhao Kongcheng moved closer to Chen Shu and casually stuffed two suitcases into Chen Shu's hands.

Chen Shu ignored Zhao Kongcheng and moved closer to Hong Ying, "Sister Hong Ying, stop joking. Do you think I'm that kind of person?"

"Oh? I seem to remember someone saying before that they liked Sister Hongying the most?" Hongying pouted, not giving Chen Shumeng any chance to get away with it.

"Sister Hongying, Brother Chen Shu never threatened me... I was the one who pursued him." Qin Xue grabbed Hongying's sleeve, her ears burning red. Her voice grew softer with each word, especially the last few. If the people present hadn't been extraordinary, they probably wouldn't have been able to hear her at all.

"Alright, alright." Hongying casually put her arm around Qin Xue's shoulder. "Just kidding, Xiao Shu, what realm are you at now?"

"...Leng Xuan said he hasn't been able to sense your presence for half a year. Is there anything wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just went into the mist." Chen Shuyun shook his head nonchalantly. "As long as the symbiote offspring are fine, it means I'm not dead, don't worry."

"...As for realm, I just reached the 'Sea' realm some time ago."

"What is that?!" Hongying exclaimed, her mouth agape in surprise. "'Sea' Realm?"

Not only Hongying, but everyone else was also surprised when they heard that Chen Shu had reached the "Sea" realm.

Just considering the speed at which he's improving his cultivation level, he's more than qualified to join a special squad!

"Hey! Hongying, keep your voice down! Do you want the whole world to know?" Wen Qimo reacted quickly and hurriedly reminded Hongying that matters concerning the Night Watchers could not be revealed to the public.

"Alright, you guys go ahead. I just came to see you all. Don't let me delay your business." Chen Shu smiled modestly, completely oblivious to Hong Ying and the others' surprise.

"Alright, alright, here's your little girlfriend back. Remember to come visit me in Cangnan when you have time." After Hongying finished speaking, she turned to Zhao Kongcheng and said, "Take your suitcase. Xiaoshu isn't coming with us."

"...I'm really destined for a life of toil." Zhao Kongcheng slumped down and picked up the other two suitcases.

"What's there to be tired about? Don't you always brag about how strong you are? You can't even handle four suitcases?" Hongying mocked without a care in the world.

After everyone had gone far away, Qin Xue's restraint and shyness gradually subsided.

A gentle smile appeared in Chen Shu's eyes as he gently took Qin Xue's hand and asked curiously, "Why do I feel like you don't quite like Sister Hongying, Xiaoxue?"

"No..." Qin Xue lowered her head in disappointment and explained with concern, "I just feel that Sister Hongying helped you a lot in your past."

"But it's the complete opposite for me. You've always been the one helping me... I always felt that Sister Hongying was the one who deserved you..."

"So what?" Chen Shu lifted Qin Xue's chin, forcing her to look at him. "Remember this, you can't think like that again."

“Sister Hongying is very good to me, and I will always remember that. When I am able to repay her, I will do so. This has nothing to do with the feelings between us.”

"Hmm!" The disappointment in Qin Xue's eyes vanished in an instant, replaced by a beautiful smile.

Chen Shu suddenly realized that he hadn't told Qin Xue that he was going to Cangnan.

"Oh right, I forgot to tell you, I'm going to Cangnan tonight to take care of some things."

"Huh?" Qin Xue looked at Chen Shu in confusion. "But didn't all your friends come here?"

"Two friends of mine are going to run into some minor trouble, but they haven't asked me for help, so I'm going to go help them and, incidentally, confront them."

Chen Shu wore a faint smile, giving no indication that he was about to participate in a divine war.

"Okay." Qin Xue nodded obediently, but then added, "Then you must be careful."

"Don't worry," Chen Shu nodded confidently. "Don't you know my strength? Nothing will happen."

Looking at Chen Shu's confident demeanor, Qin Xue's lips curled up slightly. Indeed, Chen Shu always gave her a feeling of being omnipotent.

Suddenly remembering that Chen Shu had gone to Cangnan last time and spent half a year in the fog, Qin Xue's mood became somewhat depressed again.

"How many days are you going to be gone? You won't be gone for a long time again, will you?"

"Um……"

Chen Shu was still unsure what he would do after the God War. In fact, under normal circumstances, he would still go into the mist to hunt down the mysterious.

Although he can no longer rely on accumulating a large amount of mysterious primordial energy to advance his realm, the prizes from the lottery will provide him with an opportunity to break through his bottleneck.

Currently, it seems that there is a bottleneck only above the "Chuan" realm. However, it is still unknown whether there is a bottleneck for [Symbiotic Offspring].

After careful consideration, Chen Shu decided to pass on the [True Dragon Bloodline] to Qin Xue after the God War, but he couldn't tell her yet.

"I'll be back in about two or three days. As for what happens next, we'll decide then."

"Then you can't lie to me." Qin Xue looked at Chen Shu seriously, her eyes as if Chen Shu had lied to her many times.

Chen Shu thought for a moment, and realized he hadn't lied to her. "What do you mean? I don't think I've ever lied to you, have I?"

"Why not?" Qin Xue immediately became unhappy, took out a cell phone from her pocket, opened it, and handed it to Chen Shu.

The chat logs above are all one-sided conversations; the other party hasn't replied to a single message.

...It was the same cell phone that Chen Shu had the knight-errant deliver to Qin Xue half a year ago.

“This…” Chen Shu suddenly remembered that after entering the fog, he had no signal and therefore hadn’t looked at the phone.

Later, after the phone ran out of battery, it remained in the system storage space, and Chen Shu never took it out.

Once Qin Xue was rescued, there was no need to take out the phone.

"...I'll go shopping with you. I have to leave tonight."

"...Don't change the subject." Qin Xue glared at Chen Shu unhappily.

"I'm not trying to change the subject, this really was an accident. I'm not lying to you, there really is no signal in the fog," Chen Shu hurriedly explained, afraid that Qin Xue would misunderstand him.

"I know... you must come back safe and sound."

Ultimately, Qin Xue didn't really want Chen Shu to leave, but she also knew that what Chen Shu was doing was very important and couldn't be swayed by a few words from her.
