Godslayer: The Progenitor of Symbiotes

Chen Shu looked at Fen Tian, ​​who was curled up in a ball wrapped in a blanket, and said in a calm tone, "I'll sleep next to you. Just call me if you need anything."

After waiting a few seconds without receiving a response, Chen Shu shook his head, hoping he could appease her before heading into the mist.

The next morning, Chen Shu was awakened by a cracking sound.

Looking around, he saw that Fen Tian was no longer lying in bed.

The sound of running water in the bathroom caught Chen Shu's attention.

As Chen Shu got out of bed and walked into the bathroom, he froze on the spot.

"You ate the bathtub?!"

Fen Tian sat on the ground, soaking wet, holding a piece of broken bathtub in his hand, making "crunch crunch" sounds.

The water pipe on the wall, which no longer has a showerhead, is still spraying water...

Upon seeing Chen Shu enter, Fen Tian quickly moved to stand in front of Chen Shu, as if afraid that Chen Shu would try to steal her food.

"Quick, quick, spit it out..."

Chen Shu snatched the bathtub shards from Fen Tian's hand, pried open her mouth, and started digging...

"You can't eat it even if you're angry... Ouch! Don't bite me!!"

After overcoming countless hardships, Chen Shu finally subdued the "Hungry Dragon".

Chen Shu looked at Fen Tian, ​​who was frowning and staring at him with his eyes wide open, as if he could write "unhappy" all over his face. He waved his hand and said, "Come on, I'll take you to eat something delicious."

"Hmph!" Fen Tian turned his head away sharply, whether out of spite or because he simply didn't believe Chen Shu's words.

"Let's go."

Chen Shu stepped forward and took Fen Tian's hand, but found that he couldn't pull her up no matter what he did.

"Don't be angry, I promise I'll never yell at you again."

As Chen Shu spoke, he reached out to pinch Fen Tian's stubborn little face...

boom--!

A dizzying sensation followed, and by the time Chen Shu came to his senses, the person was already embedded in the wall.

The stubbornness on Fentian's face disappeared as he put away his fist, replaced by endless fear, like a child who had done something wrong.

"Ouch..." Chen Shu pulled himself out of the wall and looked at Fen Tian in shock.

Whoops!

Seeing Fen Tian's expression, Chen Shu was delighted. It seemed that this guy didn't intentionally want to attack him.

"...I can't take it anymore..." Chen Shu clutched his chest and knelt on the ground, looking at Fen Tian seriously. "You've already fought him, are you satisfied now?"

"It happened once last night, and this is the second time. I don't want it to happen a third time..."

Chen Shu forced himself to get up, walked to Fen Tian's side, and extended his hand, "...I'll give you one last chance, are you going or not?"

After hesitating for a few seconds, Fentian gently placed his hand on Chen Shu's hand.

Chen Shu gripped Fen Tian's hand tightly, smiled with satisfaction, and pulled her out the door, heading towards a restaurant in the city...

"President."

"Hello, President."

"Good morning, President."

"..."

As we entered the restaurant, a chorus of greetings erupted.

Upon seeing Chen Shu, the waiter immediately jogged forward and respectfully said, "President, you would like to dine here, please follow me."

Upon recognizing the waiter, Chen Shu asked with slight surprise, "It's you again. How have you been? Nothing much trouble lately?"

Indeed, the waiter in front of him was the same one who greeted Chen Shu when he first came here.

The waiter beamed with happiness, "No, no, after we accepted the association's management, Lord Shenli immediately lowered the dining prices."

"The number of customers suddenly increased, and although my workload increased, my salary naturally went up as well."

Chen Shu looked around the restaurant and indeed, there were significantly more people here. Compared to the first time he came here, it was incredibly lively.

Upon entering a luxurious private room, a waiter greeted them with a smile, “President, this room was personally commissioned by Lord Shenli for its decoration. No one but you can dine here.”

“Not bad.” Chen Shu nodded. “Give us ten cows and twenty chickens.”

The waiter nodded. "Okay, shall we bake it again?"

"Whatever, do whatever you think is best."

"Okay." The waiter nodded and left the private room.

Chen Shu looked at the private room, which was much larger than when he first came, and nodded in satisfaction. "This guy, Shenli, is not bad!"

"Don't be nervous, sit down, the food will be served in a bit." Chen Shu looked at Fen Tian, ​​who was restrained in every way.

After Fentian sat down, Chen Shu released her hand and teased, "Really, you hit so hard when you did it, why did you regret it afterward?"

"Don't...kill...me..."

Fen Tian looked at Chen Shu with her clear, expectant eyes, appearing to be a completely weak little girl.

Chen Shu's smile froze for a moment; it seemed he had truly taken his threat from yesterday to heart.

However, we can't let her remain afraid of us forever, or something bad will happen sooner or later.

The right approach is to find a way to build a closer relationship and make her truly consider you her family and partner.

Chen Shu looked at Fen Tian seriously, "You don't need to be afraid of this in the future. As long as you can control your temper, we can be friends, partners, or even family."

"I went to Jinan Mountain to find you, partly to borrow your strength, but at the same time, what I wanted even more was you."

"What I said last night was serious, because the two of us are about to go to a very dangerous place. If you do what you did last night, there is a chance we will die."

Although Fentian could understand many human languages, her little brain still couldn't quite grasp Chen Shu's long discourse.

Seeing the confusion in Fen Tian's eyes, Chen Shu smiled gently and said, "It's alright. You don't understand now, but you will understand in the future."

"By the way, can I pinch your little cheeks now?"

Fen Tian's gaze sharpened, he snorted coldly, turned his head away, and ignored Chen Shu.

Chen Shu sighed deeply and touched his chest with heartache.

—Oh no, I've been too kind.

……

Over the next two days, Chen Shu helped Shenli and the others with some problems they couldn't solve during the day, and taught Fentian some characters she didn't know at night.

However, as expected of a dragon, a higher species, Fentian's learning ability is ridiculously strong. Under Chen Shu's guidance, he can now communicate normally with people, although his speech is somewhat stiff.

Over the course of two days, Chen Shu maintained a consistently "gentle" attitude, and Fen Tian gradually became more accommodating towards him.

On the night before leaving, at Shenli's suggestion, he decided to invite Xia Ke and Zhan Fu to have dinner together.

Chen Shu picked up a piece of braised pork rib, put it in his mouth, and mumbled, "Hero, how's it going? Have you found those hundred people?"

"I've found them. They're all people I've dealt with before, so you can send them to the Qin family with confidence." The swordsman said casually, showing complete trust in the people he had chosen.

Chen Shu was quite at ease about this, since these people all had symbiotes inside them, so even if they had bad intentions, they wouldn't cause any trouble.

"Warhawk, you six will come together too. A month's leave should be enough for you, right?"

Upon hearing this, the members of the Battle Axe were filled with gratitude. "Thank you, Boss!! We will definitely do our best to contribute to the association from now on!"

"Haha, no need to be so polite. I have to keep my promise." Chen Shu waved his hand. "That's enough for today, everyone, let's eat!"

"Boss, here's a pork knuckle for you." Shenli picked up a large pork knuckle from the table and put it into Chen Shu's bowl.

Chen Shu was about to suggest that everyone eat together when he suddenly felt his arm being pulled.
