Chapter 4: Press it down 1

Wu Shaoqian had been in a coma since he was deposed, and all the necessary diagnoses and conclusions were completed during this period. So when he woke up, not only had he moved to a new place, but the only people guarding his bedside were the reluctant steward He Zhou and his death guard Xiang Lin.

He Zhou watched Wu Shaoqian grow up and was always gentle and caring towards him, but he was, after all, a manager who never overstepped the line, and he could only try to gently inform Wu Shaoqian of his current physical condition, changes in his treatment... and the marriage that his parents had decided on on the spur of the moment.

Wu Shaoqian was precocious and had been training alone for many years. Even though he was still seriously injured and in great pain, he quickly understood his situation.

The destruction of his companion treasure was equivalent to complete waste. All the resources his parents had invested in him were wasted. His parents had always valued his qualifications, so they naturally gave up on him quickly out of disappointment. However, he was a child of destiny who had brought a lot of glory to the Wu family. His father, as the head of the family, could not be too indifferent, and his mother, as the wife of the head of the family, had to take care of the clan members. So they gave him a wife from the Zhong family, so that he could have the Soul-Fixing Fruit to save his life, and he could have a family and someone to take care of him - this was considered to be their best intentions, and they would not care about him anymore.

It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Wu Shaoqian was reduced to dust in one day, while his parents just dealt with the matter impartially. Even though he was strong-willed, he suffered a big blow.

After being stunned for a few hours, Wu Shaoqian managed to sort out everything.

He wanted to live, and he still wanted the Soul-Fixing Fruit, but there was no need to drag the others along to become waste, nor did he want to endure the disgust of mixing his aura with a strange woman. If the Zhong family girl really gave him the fruit to save his life, he could live with her for a few years without interfering with her, and then find an opportunity to divorce her and release her. The Zhong family girl would naturally find another suitable marriage partner.

But what Wu Shaoqian didn't expect was that the person he married would be his best friend.

Just as the reason why Zhong Cai valued Wu Shaoqian so much was not because of his qualifications and status, Wu Shaoqian's relationship with Zhong Cai was just because the two of them got along well. As for the fact that Zhong Cai was most likely of the lowest caliber, he didn't care. Anyway, no matter who he made friends with, there was no one with better qualifications than him, and they all had shorter lives than him. Since they all had short lives, what was the difference between short and shorter? In the end, he could only miss them silently.

Especially when those "friends" who came up to him had ulterior motives, Zhong Cai, whom he had known at the age of eleven and whose attitude had not changed after he knew who he was, was the pure land in his heart.

This time, during the hours when he was confused about the future and sad about his parents, Wu Shaoqian inevitably thought of Zhong Cai.

Emotionally, he believed that Zhong Cai would not dislike him, but rationally, he was worried.

But no matter how imaginative Wu Shaoqian was, and how much he hoped that "emotion" would win, he would never have guessed that Zhong Cai would accompany him in this way? ? ? At this moment, all his depression and despair were wiped out by Zhong Cai's magical operation.

It's outrageous!

After Zhong Cai deliberately made a joke, he kept observing his friend's condition.

Wu Shaoqian has an excellent appearance, with his facial features optimized by combining the best features of his parents, and he has a kind of handsomeness that can be called frightening. Moreover, he has a lot of experience, fighting wild beasts in the mountains all year round, so even though he is still a teenager, his aura is already very sharp, and coupled with the coldness between his eyebrows, people will not think he is young and inexperienced at first glance.

After being deposed, Wu Shaoqian suddenly became much thinner, his face was pale and bloodless, his lips were white and cracked, and he looked quite haggard - but just now, under the stimulation of Zhong Cai, his facial features were slightly distorted, and his face was slightly red, which made him look better.

Zhong Cai had never seen his buddy's expression so upset, and he couldn't help but stretch out his hand with a smile and wave it in front of him. Seeing that he didn't react, he simply pulled his arm and pressed him to sit on the new bed.

"Old Wu, stop daydreaming and eat this stuff quickly." Zhong Cai pinched the Soul-Fixing Fruit and stuffed it into Wu Shaoqian's mouth. "We have other things to do after you finish eating. We can't waste time!"

Wu Shaoqian chewed the fruit twice, and the Soul-Fixing Fruit turned into a warm current that entered his stomach, and then became a strange force that quickly flowed into his soul. This force seemed to form countless threads, quickly entwining the three souls and seven spirits that were on the verge of disintegration, precariously fixing them, and then quickly tightening them.

If you look carefully, you will find that under this restraint, the three souls and seven spirits are slowly gluing together.

In fact, even if an ordinary secret cultivator encounters an attack, the soul will not be destroyed, but the higher the grade of the companion treasure, the greater the impact when it is destroyed. Wu Shaoqian's Sun-Shooting Bow is of the top heavenly grade, and is only a step away from the immortal grade - if he had not yet condensed his soul and had weak resistance to external attacks, the Sun-Shooting Bow would not have had time to be consecrated and could not burst out all its power, or it would not even be destroyed - therefore, the impact on the soul when it was destroyed can be imagined.

Of course, the connection between the three souls is very close. Although the impact force was originally strong, it should have caused the soul to vibrate and break through part of the soul, so that he would not be close to death. But Wu Shaoqian had just broken through to the Kaiguang realm before he was attacked. In this first small realm, the life soul should slowly absorb the heavenly soul and merge with each other... Therefore, when the three souls and seven spirits were easily shaken, they were suddenly hit, which not only broke the life soul and the heavenly soul, but also broke the connection between the souls and spirits.

Fortunately, Wu Shaoqian's foundation was solid, and he was able to endure the severe pain in his soul. Although he was "on the verge" of collapse, there was still room for salvation.

Zhong Cai knew Wu Shaoqian very well. By observing his micro-expressions, he knew that this guy was no longer in so much pain. Sure enough, the Soul-Fixing Fruit was useful. Without saying anything, he pushed Wu Shaoqian down on the bed while he was sitting.

Then he divided his attention between two tasks, pulling his belt with one hand and stripping Wu Shaoqian's clothes with the other.

Wu Shaoqian: "..." He was so frightened that his voice broke, "Acai, what are you doing——"

Zhong Cai was quick and agile, and in the blink of an eye, she was already "being honest" with Wu Shaoqian.

Wu Shaoqian was completely exhausted and his face flushed red. He raised his hand with great shame and reluctance and placed it against Zhong Cai's chest.

Then he felt even more ashamed.

This damn posture...

Zhong Cai grabbed his hand, sighed, and said earnestly, "Old Wu, there is no other way. You have to bear with it. Your life is more important." He seemed to understand his friend's dilemma and added generously, "Don't worry, I will definitely not torture you. I will help you torture myself. Although I am not as good-looking as you, I will try my best to seduce you. You are also young and full of vigor, so you should be able to handle it."

Wu Shaogan's mouth twitched.

Even after being together for so many years, there are still times when Zhong Cai leaves him speechless.

Is this the problem?
