A Bug’s Desire to Survive

Chapter 99: The Son of Destiny vs the Son of Destiny (5)

Views:

Yuan Chu was invited to the house Wei He rented near the hospital to discuss opening a store.

In order to buy back the old house, Wei He must earn 7 million in just over a year. It is not difficult for cultivators to make money. Even ordinary cultivators who have been eliminated by the academy are rare talents that mortals are vying for. But it’s not that easy to make a lot of money in a short period of time.

"I plan to make a batch of talismans to test the waters first," Wei He said, "focusing on safety protection, dynamic communication, and customized special effects."

Needless to say, safety protection, such as shield, avoid fire (water), relieve pain, wake up, sleep, etc. Dynamic messaging is mainly used for private communication. Couples or friends use various virtual dynamic images to convey feelings and information.

What Wei He is most optimistic about is customized special effects. The virtual special effects built using magic are more natural and real than those produced by computers. When shooting commercials, MVs, film and television dramas, etc., just customize the corresponding special effects and you can do it in one step.

"Just do what you want." Yuan Chu expressed support.

Although most cultivators have learned the basic knowledge of making spiritual talismans, their levels are uneven, and the effects of some spiritual talismans are not as good as the three-hair special effects of mortals. But I had first seen the floating talisman that Wei He made casually in the hospital. The imitation of the wings is both real and gorgeous, and it is very ornamental. It must be very popular.

"I will prepare the materials, and the finished product will be divided into 4 for you and 6 for me. What do you think?" Wei He asked.

"I'll be fine with 2." Yuan Chu had no interest in making money, and just hoped that he would establish contact with him as soon as possible.

However, Wei He didn't like taking advantage, so he drafted a 40-60 contract.

Yuan Yuan didn't say much and just picked up a pen to sign.

The two submitted the information on the same day, opened an online store, and listed more than a dozen kinds of talismans.

"Do you recommend taking some videos?" Wei He picked out a few talismans. "Photos and videos can allow buyers to more intuitively understand the effects of the talismans."

Yuan Chu nodded, indicating that it was okay.

The two walked through the night to the garden of the community and began to shoot a video of trying out the magic talisman.

"This is the colorful light talisman." Wei He took out a talisman and asked, "What color do you like?"

"White, blue, red, purple..." Yuanchu reported six or seven colors in a row.

Wei He: "... Then let's go white."

When the magic talisman is opened, a beam of white light rises from bottom to top, surrounding the body, and then turns into layers of halo, covering the original, shining in the night. The steps moved lightly, and he turned around in a circle, and the stars were scattered like fireflies.

Wei He stared at the glowing girl through the camera.

The effect lasted for three minutes, and the surrounding area returned to darkness.

"Not bad." Wei He calmed down, lowered his head, and handed her another talisman: "Go on, the cosmetic contact talisman."

Yuanchu looked at the talisman in his hand and threw it away without saying anything.

Suddenly, a tree behind him bloomed with flowers, and the spring scenery rushed towards his face. The girl stood under the flower tree. She didn't know whether the spring scenery was sultry or the spring scenery was arousing.

Wei He was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he had given the wrong talisman just now. His ears were slightly red, but his expression remained calm: "Sorry, this is a flower tree talisman."

"It's okay, I know." Yuan Chu raised his eyebrows indifferently, and the smile in his eyes seemed to sparkle with stars.

"...Go on." Wei He looked away: What is that look? I want to seduce him again!

Yuan Chu took over the talisman and tried it out dutifully. Every time she tried one, Wei He felt that she had "bad intentions".

Even a green-faced fang talisman showed his affection. The bloodshot eyes filled with love and hatred, the ferocious expression of asking for something but not getting it, the strong ghostly aura that will never change until death, all the emotions are overflowing!

Wei He glanced at her reservedly and complicatedly, feeling a little guilty because he couldn't respond to her, so he could only try his best to take pictures of her as beautifully as possible.

Yuanchu, who was concentrating on his work, had no idea what he was thinking about, but just thought his expression was a little strange.

The two of them spent more than an hour trying out all the more than a dozen talismans.

I first took a look at the shooting effect, and it was very good, and it can arouse the desire of others to buy it.

Wei He squinted at Yuan Chu, who was watching the video next to him, and stood upright reservedly to prevent her from taking the opportunity to have a physical conflict with him, but he never thought of standing further away.

"You took really good photos." Yuan Chu raised his head and gave him a thumbs up.

Wei He: Flattery is useless, I won’t like you, give up!

"It's okay." He replied pretending to be cold, but the corners of his mouth secretly raised as he had his own thoughts.

"Starting from tomorrow, let's set aside 3 hours every night to make magic talismans, right?"

"Yeah." Wei He paused, "It's too troublesome for you to run back and forth like this. Do you want to move in with me?"

After saying this, he immediately regretted it: Wasn't this an opportunity for her to get stuck in the mud? She would definitely agree without hesitation.

Yuanchu: "Okay."

Sure enough, I agreed without hesitation.

The words have been spoken and there is no way to go back on them. Wei He can only warn himself that except for necessary communication in the future, he must definitely keep a distance from her!

The next day, Wei He took the initiative to go to school to help her carry her luggage, and settled the matter of living together during a lunch break.

Wei He, who went to school with Yuan Chu: "..." Always feel like something is wrong? ?

The online store opened, and thanks to discounts and video promotions, all the newly launched charms were sold out, and several buyers placed orders.

Wei He and Yuan Chu went to school during the day and made talismans at night, and gradually formed a tacit understanding.

It's just that the cultivation of both of them was not going well. ,

Wei He has never been able to refine the Xuanxiao Umbrella, and his original cultivation has not improved an inch.

"Wei He, what's happened to you recently?" Sang Rong said, pretending to be concerned, "I have refined the Cang Yue Sword into a life-saving magic weapon. How about you? It's been almost half a month. Is there any progress? Don't just talk about it. Falling in love delays your cultivation."

Wei He said lightly: "No, no."

"I heard that you also opened an online store?" Sang Rong didn't care at all about his cold attitude and asked casually, "How are the profits? Do you want me to help you promote it?"

He stole Wei He's idea, and his business was booming. Later, he refined the mid-grade magic weapon Cang Yue Sword, and became a famous figure among cultivation students. On the other hand, Wei He's progress was slow and unknown. The high-spirited genius in his memory was now in such a state of decline, how could he not be secretly happy

"It's a small business, publicity or not, that's all." Wei He held back the repulsion in his heart and took a quick step, "I won't talk anymore, I'm going to practice."

"Go ahead, don't forget, the competition will be held in three days, so you have to refine your magic weapon as soon as possible." Sang Rong reminded him kindly.

Wei He frowned slightly and walked into the training room without stopping.

He glanced around the corner out of habit, and sure enough he saw Yuan Chu meditating.

She was still in the middle stage of Qi refining, and she practiced hard every day. Not only did she not make any progress in her cultivation, but she showed signs of regression.

If she hadn't been able to break through the late stage of Qi refining before the quarterly exam, she would probably be assigned to the second class of Qi refining.

Wei He subconsciously took a few steps towards her. She immediately noticed it, woke up from her trance, and looked at him with a pair of smiling eyes: "Are you here?"

Wei He paused, then walked to her and sat down cross-legged, asking, "Are you sure about the quarterly exam in three days?"

Yuanchu was silent for a moment, and then he remembered that there was a quarterly exam. During this period, the law's rejection of her became stronger and stronger, and her body became weaker and weaker. She had to practice harder to maintain her current level of cultivation.

"Your face doesn't look good. Do you want to go see the medical teacher?" A trace of worry flashed in Wei He's eyes.

"No, I'm fine." The damage caused by the law cannot be detected by ordinary monks.

Yuanchu sighed secretly: Why is this young man in front of me still unwilling to establish contact with her

"If you have any trouble, just tell me. We are also... partners after all."

Yuanchu smiled: "Okay, thank you."

Wei He turned his head away, with a cold expression on his face.

"By the way, has your natal magic weapon been successfully refined?" Yuanchu asked.

Wei He was silent for a while and replied, "No."

Following the normal trajectory, Wei He bound the Cang Yue Sword and broke through to the foundation building stage before the quarterly examination. But now, not only has he failed to refine his natal magic weapon, but his cultivation is still at the late stage of Qi refining.

In the next season test, Sang Rong will replace him and win the first place in the minor competition, making a big splash. The Qi Gathering Pill that the first place won was no longer available to him, and Sang Rong would use this Qi Gathering Pill to advance to the foundation building stage in one fell swoop.

Yuanchu thought about it, how can he give him some hints so that he can successfully refine his natal magic weapon without attracting the attention of Heaven

She moved her fingers slightly, and a small snake twisted around her fingers, like a living creature.

Wei He's eyes were unconsciously attracted and lingered for a long time.

"Wei He." Yuanchu suddenly said.

Wei He quickly looked away: "Huh?"

"Will you accompany me to catch fish tonight?"

"?"

Wei He refused in his heart. In the middle of the night, a man and a woman alone went to catch fish. Wasn't this deliberately creating "adultery"

However, at night, Wei He followed Yuan Chu into the woods.

When we came to a waterfall, our ears were filled with the roaring sound of running water. The silvery moonlight reflected on the water, creating a faint white frost.

"Wait for me for a while." Wei He casually folded a few branches and planned to shoot some fish.

Yuan Chu stopped him: "It's no fun to catch fish like this."

"Then what do you think..." Wei He turned around and saw a figure passing by, leaping up and jumping into the water, causing a large splash.

"!!!" What is this operation? !

Wei He stood on the shore and shouted to the fast-flowing river: "Yuanchu, what are you doing?"

There was no movement on the river, as if no one had jumped in just now.

"Original?" He called out, but there was still no response.

His face darkened, and without caring about anything else, he jumped into the river, looking for traces of the original.

As a monk, even if his cultivation level is not high, he will not drown easily. What he is worried about is whether Yuan Yuan will encounter some monster.

The dimly lit river bottom was bitterly cold. Fish and shrimps swam by from time to time, but they did not feel the presence of monsters.

While Wei He was wondering, a sudden wave of mana came from his right side. His mind was frightened, his body sank, and he nimbly avoided the attack.

Before he could react, the second attack came.

Wei He drew out his Xuanxiao umbrella and held it in front of him, blocking the attack.

At the same time, he also saw clearly that the person who attacked him was the missing Yuan Chu.

Yuan Chu smiled and made a sparring gesture towards him.

Wei He felt slightly relieved, and then became a little angry. He wanted to refuse to spar with her, but she pressed forward step by step. Although her moves were simple, he couldn't get away.

Wei He was surprised, calmed down, and began to deal with it seriously.

The two went back and forth underwater, fighting inextricably.

The original cultivation level was lower than that of Wei He, and his moves and body skills seemed weak, but he cleverly avoided critical points every time and blocked Wei He's retreat.

Wei He continued to increase his magic power, speed up the attack, and change the route of the attack, trying to force Yuanchu out of the water. However, she was as slippery as a loach and could not be caught no matter how hard she tried.

Wei He's spiritual root is of the fire attribute, and the underwater environment greatly limits his performance. The Xuanxiao umbrella in his hand does not obey the orders. He usually spits out sparks, but now he can't even spit out a puff of cigarette ash. But the original was only in the middle stage of Qi refining. How could he be at a disadvantage in the later stage of Qi refining

Wei He narrowed his eyes, concentrated his energy, and a fire dragon broke through the water flow and headed straight for Yuanchu.

Yuan Chu hugged his hands, and the water flow swirled to form a whirlpool, encompassing the fire dragon. As soon as it was retracted and released, the fire dragon counterattacked back along its original route.

Wei He was caught off guard and was hit by his own spell. His throat felt so sweet that he almost vomited blood.

The original showed no mercy, and the next wave of attacks followed.

Wei He used defense as offense, retreating step by step, but what greeted him was an even more fierce attack.

The more he fought, the more frightened he became. It felt as if Yuan Chu was not sparring with him, but actually wanted his life!

Doesn't she like herself? What's the situation now

Wei He didn't want to believe it, but the facts were before his eyes. Her attacks left almost no escape and were deadly.

After more than a dozen rounds, Wei He was already scarred, but Yuan Chu had no intention of stopping.

Wei He's eyes flashed with confusion and anger, and the veins on the back of the hand holding the Xuanxiao Umbrella were exposed. He shot quickly, his magic power increased sharply, and he faced the original attack. He roared in his heart: "Open!"

With a swish sound, the Xuanxiao umbrella opened wide, black flames exploded suddenly, water splashed everywhere, and a sharp shock wave shot towards Yuanchu with steaming water mist.

The original expression remained unchanged, and the water shield condensed. With a bang, the water shield shattered, and she resisted the blow.

Wei He operated the Xuanxiao Umbrella, and his whole body almost merged with it, turning into a ball of mysterious fire, breaking through the water waves, and headed straight for the original with a terrifying momentum.

There was a fire of anger burning in his eyes, and he didn't understand why the original wanted to do this to him. The trust that the two of them had finally built collapsed at this moment.

boom!

The original slender body was knocked out of the water by the huge force. Like a kite with a broken string, it fell from mid-air and fell heavily to the ground.

She half-closed her eyes, pressed her face against the wet soil, panted slightly, and scarlet blood flowed out.

Wei He held an umbrella and walked step by step to Yuan Chu, looking down at her with a cold expression on his face.

He moved his lips and was about to question, but he heard her ask weakly: "Did you... succeed..."

He was stunned: "What?"

She raised the corners of her lips slightly: "Xuanxiao Umbrella... was it successfully tamed?"

Wei He's brain suddenly roared, and he couldn't think for a long time.

What's the meaning

Wei He subconsciously tried to control the Xuanxiao Umbrella, and the result turned out to be very smooth. There was still a faint traction, and there was no longer the sluggishness before.

So, she just deliberately provoked him and forced him to fight her to help him tame the Xuanxiao Umbrella

Is she crazy? ! What if he killed her by mistake

Wei He looked at her in disbelief, and the anger in his heart disappeared instantly, replaced by shock, guilt, heartache, and indescribable throbbing.

"Hey, it seems to be successful, cough..." Yuanchu coughed up a few more mouthfuls of blood, but the expression on his face was very happy.

Wei He's heart tightened, and he quickly put away the Xuanxiao umbrella, squatted down, carefully lifted her up, held her wrist, and examined her injuries.

"Are you desperate for your life?" Feeling the chaotic atmosphere in Yuan Chu's body, Wei He's fingers trembled slightly, and he let out a low, suppressed roar in his throat.

"Sorry..." She didn't have much time, so she had to make a desperate move.

Yuan Chu pressed against Wei He's heart, her eyebrows relaxed, as if she couldn't feel the pain, but Wei He knew how badly she was hurt. His last blow was almost with all his strength, and she endured it forcefully.

"Idiot! There are ways to refine the magic weapon of life, and you don't need to sacrifice your life for it!" Wei He said in a fierce tone, but he was very gentle when he fed her the basic healing pill, "Don't do such stupid things again in the future!"

Yuanchu slowly closed his eyes: "Wei He..."

"What?"

"I'm afraid I can't promise you..."

Wei He was stunned for a moment, and realized what she meant. He couldn't help but get angry and said angrily: "You..."

The words stopped, because the person in his arms made no sound, lying quietly in his arms, as if dead.

Wei He's heart palpitated, and he quickly checked her breath, which was so weak that it was almost undetectable.

He picked her up and rushed towards the school like an arrow from a string.

Originally, you won. As long as you live well, I will accept your love!

As the thoughts came together, several invisible ties suddenly appeared between the two, entangled and then merged into one.

The originally weak heartbeat suddenly became stronger...

I don't know how long it took, but Yuan Chu felt as if he had had a good sleep. When he woke up, his fatigue was gone and he felt extremely relaxed.

Sunlight pours in from the window, making the room bright. The soft breeze, the refreshing fragrance of flowers, the sweet singing of birds... the real world is presented one by one before your eyes.

Yuanchu quickly realized that she had established a connection with the Son of Destiny! The power of law no longer excludes her, and she officially integrates into this world.

"How do you feel?" Wei He's joyful voice came from the side.

Yuanchu turned his head and said with a smile: "Pretty good."

"What's good?" Wei He said with a cold face, "Do you know that your spiritual roots were almost destroyed!"

Thinking of the results of the doctor's examination, he still felt scared. What does it mean when your spiritual roots are destroyed? It means that there is no possibility of practicing cultivation in this life!

"Isn't it okay?" Yuan Chu always had a smile on his face. After making the connection, everything she looked at made her happy.

"You're still laughing!" Wei He accused, "Don't you know how stupid you are? How could your brain as big as a grain of rice come up with the idea of using such a wicked method to help me tame the Xuanxiao Umbrella? You are so stupid. !”

This incident seems to have activated someone's poisonous tongue attribute.

Yuan Chu explained seriously: "You and Xuanxiao Umbrella are both fire attributes, and you can bring out your potential in the water. Only when you are in an unfavorable situation can you connect with each other and fight against the enemy together."

"An enemy? Who is the enemy? You!" How can a person who likes himself to death have the courage to regard himself as his enemy!

Yuan Chu stopped talking. Anyway, her goal had been achieved and she could accept his complaints without fear.

Wei He became even more angry when he saw her expression of "I did it right, I will try my best next time."

He placed a piece of food in front of her and said in an evil voice, "Eat it all!"

Yuan Chu smiled and narrowed his eyes: "Okay~~"

Wei He: Faced with a love brain who really likes him, he has no choice.

The author has something to say: Wei He: Forget it, I allow you to like me. Really, do you want to scare me to death so that you can inherit my huge debt

Yuanchu:...Are you thinking too much
