Godslayer: The Progenitor of Symbiotes

"Where have you been? Why are you taking so long to come back? My Xue'er has been waiting anxiously."

As Chen Shu walked to the dining table with a carton of pure milk, Zhao Ya'er asked him curiously.

Li Sheng, who had already returned, saw Chen Shu and immediately avoided his gaze, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying.

"I went out to buy something." Chen Shu nodded with a smile, and as he sat down, he handed the milk to Qin Xue.

Qin Xue paused for a moment when she saw the milk, then looked at Chen Shu happily and said, "Thank you."

Upon seeing this, Zhao Ya'er immediately started teasing, "Chen Shu, what's wrong with you? What's your relationship with me that makes you so nice to my Xue'er?"

"..." Chen Shu didn't know what to say for a moment, but after only a few seconds, Chen Shu suddenly looked at Qin Xue, contrary to his usual behavior, and said softly, "Is a boyfriend okay?"

"Huh?" Zhao Ya'er stared wide-eyed at the unexpected turn of events.

"Hmm?" Qin Xue hadn't reacted yet, and gave a soft hum...

Wait a minute! Boyfriend???

Suddenly recalling Chen Shu's words, Qin Xue was immediately stunned.

Is this... asking me again?

Qin Xue began to doubt herself. Chen Shu wasn't like this before. Although they spent every day together, Chen Shu always maintained a proper distance from her.

This sudden... confession? Qin Xue had never even considered it before.

Seeing that Qin Xue didn't respond for a while, Chen Shu assumed she was unwilling and nodded disappointedly, "No, then... friends too..."

"No!" Qin Xue anxiously raised her head, then her voice softened, "It's okay..."

In the past few minutes, Qin Xue had thought about the same question countless times before, and she was conflicted about whether or not she should say it.

However, when she heard Chen Shu's disappointed tone, all the jumbled thoughts in her mind vanished in the blink of an eye.

She simply liked Chen Shu, who, despite living in a chaotic and corrupt place, did not become a bad person because of it;

She simply liked Chen Shu, a complete stranger who was still willing to help her.

She simply liked Chen Shu, who, once he considered someone a friend, would never treat them as a servant.

So what if he's not human? His existence is a thousand times, ten thousand times better than some "ghosts" who wear human skin!

"Hey! I'm telling you, you two are doing this on purpose, aren't you? Why didn't you just make it official from the start? Why did you have to wait until I was around to confirm it?"

Zhao Ya'er looked at the two of them with dissatisfaction. She had tried so hard to come up with ideas for Qin Xue, but now she was the one who was making a fool of herself.

"Are you full?" Chen Shu ignored Zhao Ya'er's question and looked at Qin Xue gently.

"Mmm, I'm full." Perhaps because of shyness, Qin Xue spoke in a very soft, gentle voice that was so sweet it melted one's heart.

"Then let's continue playing." Chen Shu reached out his hand to Qin Xue.

"Mm." Qin Xue nodded, took Chen Shu's hand, and let Chen Shu lead her outside.

"Oh no, it's all over, my Xue'er has been taken away..." Zhao Ya'er stared blankly at the backs of Chen Shu and the other person, and sighed heavily, as if she had lost all hope for life.

"Never mind, I still have Sheng Sheng. Let's go, let's hold hands too."

Zhao Ya'er pulled up Li Sheng, who seemed to have suddenly become sluggish.

Sensing that something was wrong with Li Sheng, Zhao Ya'er finally asked, "Sheng Sheng, what's wrong?"

Li Sheng's unfocused pupils suddenly focused, as if he had just woken from a nightmare, and a fine layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead. "No...it's nothing, let's go."

After leaving the hot pot restaurant, Chen Shu pulled Qin Xue closer to him, "Xiao Xue, I haven't really explored Beijing properly yet, how about you show me around?"

Standing so close to Chen Shu, Qin Xue's nostrils were filled with his scent, and her cheeks burned. She could only nod.

Looking at the shy Qin Xue, Chen Shu's eyes flashed with a sly smile.

However... that smile was quickly replaced by a hint of anxiety.

……

The border of Daxia.

Whoosh-!

A dark figure broke through the mist and entered the territory of the Great Xia Dynasty.

"I'm exhausted. Luckily, I didn't encounter any particularly powerful mystical beings."

After landing, the dark figure slowly folded its wings, revealing its sharp and powerful black and silver armor.

This person was none other than Chen Shu, who had just returned to the Great Xia.

Chen Shu looked at Fen Tian sleeping peacefully in his arms and muttered, "When will he wake up? My arms are getting sore from holding him like this."

……

At the same time that Chen Shu returned to the mist.

The expressions of both the powerful figure from Shacheng and the chivalrous knight from the Qin family in Shangjing changed drastically.

The two of them picked up their phones at the same time and sent messages to each other.

Even the content is the same.

Divine Power: [Is this the boss?]

[Is this the boss?]: Knight

wipe!!

The two people, who were far away, were both shocked when they saw the news.

Shenli: [I'm calling the boss. You need to find someone right away.]

[Should we ask the Night's Watch for help?]: Swordsman

Divine Power: [Go find him; you're probably no match for him.]

[Good!]: Knight

Exiting the chat interface with Shenli, Shenli instead opened a group chat with over two hundred people.

[@Everyone, immediately end all missions and search the entire city for Qin Xue!!]: Swordsman

[@Everyone, immediately end all missions and search the entire city for Qin Xue!!]: Swordsman

[@Everyone, immediately end all missions and search the entire city for Qin Xue!!]: Swordsman

After sending the message and turning off his phone, the swordsman quickly ran towards Qin Yueguan's study.

At that moment, the cell phones of more than two hundred people rang simultaneously throughout the capital.

Then, from all over the place, one after another, people said, "Sorry, boss, an urgent mission has come up. Please excuse me for a moment."

Moreover, throughout the capital, sparrows flew into the sky in droves, as if searching for something.

Thump thump thump!! Thump thump thump!!

A rapid knocking sounded at the door. Qin Yueguan, who was in the study consulting ancient books, frowned slightly, a hint of anger rising between her brows.

"Oh! Coming, coming..."

boom--!

With a loud crash, the wooden door split open...

The swordsman's anxious gaze met Qin Yueguan's blank stare.

"Young hero, what are you doing?"

"There's no time to explain. Tell the Night Watch to be ready to support me at any time."

After hurriedly leaving behind a message, the knight-errant turned and rushed out the door.

……

Chen Shu put down the Burning Heaven sword, stretched his arms, and was just about to continue his journey when his cell phone suddenly rang in his pocket.

Chen Shu took out his phone. "Divine power? Does this guy miss me that much?"

Pressing the call button, Chen Shu cheerfully asked, "Shenli, what's up? You've missed me so much already after only a short time?"

"Boss, something happened!"

Instead of the expected string of mushy words, Shenli responded to Chen Shu with a frantic voice.

He had just returned to Great Xia when Shenli called... The seriousness of the matter was beyond his imagination!

"what's the situation?"

"This morning, the swordsman suddenly..."

After listening to Shenli's explanation, Chen Shu's brain was working at lightning speed... but he still couldn't figure out who the person impersonating him could be.

"Damn it!" The distance was too far, and Chen Shu didn't have the time to think about useless things anymore. "I'll go and take care of it."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Shu picked up Fen Tian and rushed into the sky at top speed.
