Godslayer: The Progenitor of Symbiotes

Pieces of bright moonlight shone on the dark streets. Along the wide road, Qin Xue and Chen Shu strolled forward.

Under the moonlight, Qin Xue's clear eyes glanced at Chen Shu beside her from time to time. After hesitating for a long time, she slowly asked, "You said you used to be a Night's Watchman, why aren't you anymore?"

At this moment, Chen Shu was looking up at the bright moon in the night sky...

Strange ideas began to surface in my mind.

Is the seraph's eye open or closed?

Hmm, is Michael watching Lin Qiye in the training camp right now?

Holy crap! With me being this awesome, is this bastard watching me?!

Seeing that Chen Shu hadn't answered her for so long, Qin Xue's delicate and fair face showed disappointment, but it quickly turned into apology.

"I was just curious and asking casually, please don't be angry."

Chen Shu was stunned when he suddenly heard Qin Xue say, "Don't be angry."

"Huh? Why am I angry? I was thinking about something important. What did you ask? Ask me again."

Qin Xue turned to look at Chen Shu and found that Chen Shu's expression was very serious. Thinking that she had overthought things, she had no choice but to ask again.

"This is nothing..."

Chen Shu briefly recounted what had happened before he went to the Church of the Ancient Gods.

After listening to Chen Shu's story, Qin Xue asked curiously, "Then aren't you angry with the Night Watchmen?"

"Sigh..." Chen Shu shook his head indifferently, his gaze falling on the distant horizon. "I am a little angry, but I also know that Leng Xuan is Leng Xuan, and the training instructor is the training instructor. This distinction needs to be made clear."

"Also, I have absolutely no regrets about that manual. I sincerely hope that the Night's Watch can continue to grow stronger, after all, so many people need their protection."

Qin Xue thought for a moment and asked the question that had been on her mind the most, "What about Sister Hongying? Do you really like her?"

Upon hearing the name Hongying, Chen Shu immediately became interested. "Xiaoxue, you don't know, back then I was living a life of hardship, not knowing anyone. It was Sister Hongying who came to me and brought me some sausages. Later..."

Listening to Chen Shu speak eloquently, Qin Xue suddenly felt a strange sense of loss. If one day someone asked her the same question, would he feel the same way...?

...The two chatted all the way, and before long they arrived at a quiet alley.

At the end of the alley, which was about three meters wide, stood a very large mansion. Like the courtyard we had just left, it had a plaque on its gate that was not much different from the one we had just left.

The moment Qin Xue saw the mansion, her pace quickened involuntarily.

Qin Xue arrived at the entrance of the mansion and knocked on the door...

A few minutes later, a sound came from inside the gate, like the sound of the bolt being unfastened...

As the door creaked open, an elderly gentleman wearing reading glasses and exuding a scholarly air peeked out from inside.

Before he could finish the sentence, the old man froze, tears streaming down his face. "...Miss?!"

"Grandpa Wu!" Qin Xue's eyes also welled up with tears, as if she had seen a long-lost relative.

Upon hearing the shout, the old man immediately opened the door completely, stepped over the threshold, and tightly embraced Qin Xue, sobbing uncontrollably.

This touching scene almost brought Chen Shu to tears... though he didn't cry.

The old man released Qin Xue, his gaze falling on Chen Shu, then looking out of the alley. Not finding the figure he was looking for, he looked at Qin Xue with trembling eyes, "Miss... Young Master..."

Qin Xue gently wiped away her tears with the back of her hand and smiled, "Grandpa Wu, my brother is fine. I told him to go home first, but he insisted on going to the club first. I couldn't do anything about it."

When Mr. Wu heard Qin Xue's words, he was somewhat skeptical, but then he thought about his young master's character and stopped worrying.

"Miss, who is this?" Mr. Wu looked at Chen Shu behind Qin Xue.

Qin Xue turned slightly to the side, her eyes shining as she looked at Chen Shu. "Grandpa Wu, my brother and I were saved by Brother Chen Shu."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Wu immediately looked at Chen Shu with gratitude, "Thank you so much, young hero, I am truly grateful..."

As Mr. Wu was speaking, he was about to kneel down in front of Chen Shu, but Chen Shu quickly stopped him.

“Mr. Wu, it didn’t take me much effort to save Xiaoxue and her brother. It was mostly just a small favor. I really don’t deserve such a big gift.”

Mr. Wu was stopped by Chen Shu, and immediately waved his hand, "Oh, Mr. Chen, I really don't deserve to be called sir. You can just call me Old Wu. How about we go inside and talk? I'll go and wake up the master and madam."

"Okay, let's go inside and talk." Chen Shu nodded. Just by looking at the old gentleman in front of him, who seemed like a butler, Chen Shu was even more looking forward to the next cooperation opportunity.

Old Wu nodded and turned to Chen Shu, gesturing for him to enter.

Qin Xue turned to Chen Shu and smiled, "Let's go, Brother Chen Shu."

Chen Shu nodded and, led by Qin Xue, walked into the mansion.

A row of stone-paved paths extends to both sides of the houses, flanked by two lush bamboo groves. Deep within the bamboo groves, there are not only artificial hills and ponds, but also pavilions for people to rest.

As Qin Xue led the way to the main hall, she first arranged for Chen Shu to sit down. Then, Qin Xue skillfully walked to the water heater, poured a glass of water, and returned to sit down next to Chen Shu.

Chen Shu touched the leather sofa, leaned closer to Qin Xue, and whispered, "Your family seems quite wealthy."

Qin Xue nodded with a smile and said proudly, "In the domestic antique world, our family is the top. Although we are not the richest, we can still be ranked in the top ten."

Just as Chen Shu was about to ask Qin Xue if she knew about the Baili Group, a series of hurried and chaotic footsteps came from outside the door...

"Little Snow!"

A slender, beautiful woman stumbled into the house. The moment she saw Qin Xue, she rushed to her side and began to check her over.

"Xiaoxue, how are you? Did you get hurt outside?"

The moment Chen Shu saw the woman, he understood why Qin Xue was so beautiful.

As the woman entered, a middle-aged man followed closely behind. He wore suit-style trousers and a white shirt, seemingly too rushed to put on a jacket.

However, after entering the house, the man did not go to see his daughter immediately, but instead looked at Chen Shu, who was sitting calmly next to Qin Xue.

As the man approached, he did not disturb Qin Xue and her daughter, who were immersed in the joy of their reunion. Instead, he looked at Chen Shu apologetically and said, "Mr. Chen, I'm sorry. My wife was too emotional and was a bit rude. I apologize to you on her behalf."
