~7 min read 1,349 words

Yelin is naturally very familiar with this sound.

He turned his head and saw his mother leading his younger brother, staring at him in surprise.

"Mother."

Yelin called softly.

"What are you doing here!?" Ye Shi glared, her tone sharp, as if Yelin wasn't sitting at the noodle stall but somewhere he shouldn't be.

"My husband brought me here."

Yelin frowned slightly, feeling uncomfortable with her attitude, he moved back a bit, his tone no longer as timid as before.

He feared that 0731 shouting in the street would cause panic, so he reached out and touched its exploded fur, "Fortune… it's fine, don't act rashly."

"That idiot Jin Chen?" Ye Shi muttered, sensing something off; according to her and Madame Song's plan, that idiot shouldn't be ignoring Yelin, right?

At that moment, the vendor placed two bowls of noodles on the table, two big bowls of glossy golden soup noodles, the meatballs inside smelled fragrant, looking delicious.

Before Ye Shi could think of anything, her young son couldn't wait any longer.

"Meatball noodles! Mom! I want to eat!"

Ye Kai hadn't had any meat in a long time; suddenly he shouted, probably used to being spoiled at home, he directly went to grab Yelin's portion.

"What are you doing!" Yelin stopped him.

0731 immediately stood up, growling lowly at the two, wolf eyes sharp.

Ye Kai was still afraid, yet he screamed and hid behind Ye Shi, still shouting, "Mom! I want meatball noodles! Give me to eat!"

Yelin was annoyed by his noise, he frowned and moved his bowl away, but then Ye Shi shoved him, "You little brat, your skin's gotten thick, huh! Still won't let your brother eat!"

Yelin was caught off guard, his body tilted, he bumped into the corner of the noodle stall, his face turned white from pain.

0731 could no longer hold back, it lunged ferociously at Ye Shi; this side was restrained, Ye Kai cried out again.

"Did you hear me! Hurry up and give it to me! Bastard!"

Ye Kai at home was always the pampered one; from a young age he'd heard and seen vulgar talk, and by ten he'd learned all sorts of dirty words.

It's annoying to hear.

0731 hadn't even moved yet when he saw Yelin's eyes flash golden for an instant, finding the noise truly irritating, he backhanded Ye Kai's hand away and then grabbed his neck, fingers squeezing hard.

"No manners."

His voice suddenly turned extremely cold, as if he'd become another person.

Ye Shi gasped in shock, she screamed and went to hit Yelin, but he rose and kicked her sideways, sending her rolling to the ground.

Boom—

Everyone on the street heard it; the originally clear sky suddenly rolled with muffled thunder.

0731 immediately sensed something wrong, hurriedly reported to Jin Chen.

At the same time, Jin Chen, who was buying snacks, heard 0731's voice.

【Host!! Come back quickly!! The soul fragments are about to awaken!】

Jin Chen's eyebrows twitched, he hurriedly ran toward the noodle stall.

"Yelin!"

When he arrived, he could already see faint golden threads surrounding Yelin; the onlookers saw women and children being bullied and wanted to rush forward to deal with Yelin, while 0731 kept roaring at those people, trying to scare them off.

The scene was utter chaos.

Jin Chen quickly reached Yelin's side, took hold of his arm, "Yelin, calm down."

"Jin Chen..."

Yelin raised his brows, his eyes dimmed a bit, as if surprised to see him here, then he shook off his hand, his tone cold.

"Yelin? Who are you calling?"

Jin Chen paused, puzzled, then a few seconds later realized that the one speaking with him now was probably the lover's fragment.

Boom—

The muffled thunder on a clear day grew louder; the crowd watching the spectacle thought it was about to rain and dispersed, only Ye Shi still wanted to take advantage, rolling on the ground and refusing to get up.

But now no one wanted to bother her.

Jin Chen suddenly felt a hint of timidity, he tried again to take his lover's hand, "I'm calling you."

"I'm not called Yelin," Yelin also realized, he glanced at the silver wolf trembling on the ground, a flash of surprise in his eyes.

Then he impatiently glanced at the sky, suddenly grabbed Jin Chen's collar and pulled him down, the two instantly leaned extremely close, close enough for him to see the surprise in Jin Chen's eyes.

Yelin suddenly laughed, whispering near Jin Chen's ear.

"My name is Chenshu."

A bolt of lightning struck down, hitting the table beside them, instantly turning it pitch black and shattering it to pieces.

World warning.

0731 was about to be scared out of its wits, risking being discovered, it spoke up.

【Host!! Quickly let him go back to sleep!】

Jin Chen came to his senses; just as he was about to say something, he saw Chenshu's golden light fade from his eyes, and he fainted into Jin Chen's arms.

The thunder ceased abruptly.

0731 breathed a sigh of relief, lying on the ground panting.

So scary!

Jin Chen suppressed his doubts and complex emotions, coldly looking at Ye Shi and her son.

"You're asking for death."

He spat out four words, killing intent already impossible to hide, but he still remembered this public place and couldn't just strike; he could only wait for an opportunity to act later.

Ye Shi patted the dirt off her clothes, stood up, but Jin Chen's gaze frightened her; she cursed twice under her breath, wary, and led Ye Kai away.

0731 shouldered the carrying pole again, biting Jin Chen's pant leg.

【Don't worry about them, Host, you'd better bring Little Pitiful One back quickly.】

Jin Chen picked up the person in his arms, in a hurry to get home he didn't even bother saving money, bought a good horse and rushed toward the mountain.

——

Put Yelin on the bed to lie down, Jin Chen sat beside him, his expression still a bit dazed.

After a moment, he looked toward 0731, who had remained silent since returning.

【You know he is Chenshu.】

This is not a question.

0731 could only admit.

【Yes, Host, I found out after the upgrade was completed, but the main system won't let me say.】

Jin Chen fell silent again.

Unbelievable, my wife is the director of the Rapid Transmigration Bureau, the last true god of the three thousand worlds, Chenshu.

This is simply too explosive news.

Although I had guessed his identity wasn't simple before, I never imagined it would be this complicated.

But he didn't dwell on it for long.

No matter who his identity is, ever since a few worlds ago I had already decided—my wife wanting to run won't do; at worst, after all the soul fragments merge, I'll just cling to her stubbornly.

Face can be lost, but not the wife.

Jin Chen consoled himself in this way.

He got up, opened the window for fresh air, and had 0731 guard the bamboo loft.

【Where are you going?】 0731 wondered.

【Kill.】

Jin Chen thought of that mother and son, his tone icy and grim.

He concealed his presence, following the tracking spiritual aura placed on the Ye family, and found the Ye household.

The Ye family was scolding while coaxing their own son.

From time to time they scolded the eldest daughter Ye Yun in the inner room, saying she doesn't know what's good for her; now that Jin Chen isn't stupid, Yelin's days are nothing short of great!

"Mom! I've said it! Jinbei is a scholar, destined to become a high official! What's a hunter compared to that!"

Ye Yun is also hot-tempered, she outright dislikes hearing that.

"Trash! Yelin is nothing but trash!"

Ye Kai is obviously still angry, calling him trash at every turn, completely not like the viciousness a ten-year-old child would show.

The Ye family doesn't even find it the slightest bit strange.

Jin Chen hid in the corner, seeing this scene he only felt mockery; this family is truly rotten to the core.
