Chapter 2841: Why Does My Wife Follow Me Every Day 01

Quick Transmigration Bureau.

Jin Chen still hadn't forgotten the words Tao Wu had let slip in their confrontation, spoken hastily and not meant for him to hear.

The Main God nourished his beloved with divine wood, yet even so, there would be a lack…

What is lacking?

Ling Gun Gun, that idiot, panicked when he heard the questioning, turned his backside to him, trying to hide something but only making it obvious.

Jin Chen narrowed his eyes, picked up the guilty, limp furball, and walked into Bai Ze's control area.

Bai Ze stood before the operation interface, heard footsteps, turned, and saw Ling Gun Gun being held by Jin Chen.

"The task has been arduous."

Jin Chen released his grip, Ling Gun Gun was lifted by Bai Ze, whose fingertips lightly stroked his back.

"What secrets are you hiding from me?" Jin Chen cut to the chase, his face stern, "Come clean."

Bai Ze: "A secret remains a secret because it still needs to wait."

Jin Chen fell silent for two seconds, then immediately turned and sat on the sofa, his whole body sinking into it, his back against the cold barrier wall.

"I just want to know." Jin Chen looked up at Bai Ze, righteous and bold, "Now."

Bai Ze fell silent.

He lowered his head and exchanged a glance with Ling Gun Gun in his arms.

Bai Ze held Ling Gun Gun and walked slowly to the barrier wall.

The barrier wall rippled, the misty light drifting slowly, retracting slightly to both sides.

In the depths of the mist, Chenshu opened his eyes and softly called Jin Chen.

Jin Chen acted without thinking, his body reacting before his mind; he stepped forward, passed through the barrier entrance, and embraced Chenshu with considerable force.

Chenshu was slightly pushed back by the impact, yet he let out a low laugh, reached out to return the embrace, and gently patted Jin Chen's back, asking, "What's wrong?"

Jin Chen: "You all have something hidden from me."

Chenshu looked into his eyes and said, "It's not that we're hiding from you… it's just not time to tell you yet."

"When will it be time then?" Jin Chen frowned, glaring at him, "Should we wait until you've made all your plans and then notify me?"

Chenshu didn't answer, merely brushing a light kiss on Jin Chen's lips.

Before Jin Chen could react, Chenshu kissed him again, this time on the corner of his mouth.

"You…" Jin Chen wondered what to say.

Chenshu kissed him once more, this time on the tip of his nose.

Jin Chen: "……"

He was completely devoid of temper.

"My roguishness is all I learned from you, Master; why don't you teach me something good?" Jin Chen lamented.

For example, stop using kisses to fool him and get by.

Chenshu saw his look of wanting to flare up but unable to, and the smile in his eyes deepened.

He cupped Jin Chen's face, saying, "Before you learn the whole truth, I will retrieve the missing part for you."

Jin Chen frowned, genuinely puzzled. Aside from the memories he hasn't recalled yet, he believes his soul lacks nothing.

Chenshu didn't answer, lightly tapping his fingertip on Jin Chen's chest.

Jin Chen lowered his head, looked up at Chenshu, feeling hopeless, "... lacking a heart?"

Otherwise, how could everyone else know while he doesn't?

Chenshu blinked, then laughed out loud.

Bai Ze, watching from outside the barrier, couldn't help but stifle his laughter; Ling Gun Gun in his arms laughed so hard his whole body trembled, covering his mouth with his paws.

Jin Chen glanced sideways, "What are you laughing at?"

Bai Ze shrugged, carried Ling Gun Gun away, leaving them space.

Inside the barrier, Chenshu kissed Jin Chen again, whispering in his ear, "Rest a while, you've worked hard, young master."

Jin Chen grumbled, turned his head to avoid the kiss, yet still held Chenshu, swayed him, and fell asleep, sleeping deeply.

After a long while, Chenshu summoned Bai Ze.

"How is the little pixiu's true form recovering?"

Ling Gun Gun heard that and looked pleadingly at Bai Ze.

Bai Ze lowered his gaze at it, a faint pang of sorrow flickering in his silver eyes, "The soul is stable, but…"

"Its true form is too severely damaged; back then it self‑destructed to protect its master, and with my power the recovery is too slow."

Ling Gun Gun understood Bai Ze's words, lowered his head, and scratched the ground with his tiny claws.

Chenshu nodded, pointing his fingertip at the fluffy forehead of Ling Gun Gun, "Come here."

Bai Ze set Ling Gun Gun on the ground; he rolled about nervously.

Chenshu leaned forward, extended his hand, palm hovering above Ling Gun Gun's head.

"Return to your true form," Chenshu whispered.

Ling Gun Gun blinked, hesitant, and glanced at Bai Ze.

Bai Ze nodded; in the next instant, Ling Gun Gun's form turned illusory and slipped into the Jade Pendant Bai Ze used to guard his true form.

Golden light then enveloped the Jade Pendant, within which a faint beastly shadow appeared, resembling a lion—the true form of the pixiu.

After an unknown period, the golden light gradually faded.

The Jade Pendant fell back into Bai Ze's palm; he held it, bowed deeply, and said, "Thank you, Master."

Chenshu waved a hand, also not disturbing his beloved asleep in his arms.

"When Jin Chen wakes, tell him that Ling Gun Gun must return to his true form to rest and recover; for the time being he cannot accompany him on missions."

Chenshu said: "As for the new support system, you arrange it, pick someone... obedient."

"Yes, Master." Bai Ze replied.

——

When he woke up again, Jin Chen found himself lying on the sofa in the lounge.

The barrier wall closed again, behind it a golden light mist slowly flowed, and Chenshu's figure once again hid in the depths, indistinct.

Jin Chen sat up and rubbed his forehead.

He had slept too deeply; upon waking, he felt a dazed disorientation about time, but his spirits were excellent, better than ever.

He stared at the barrier wall for a moment, the corners of his mouth twitched, and then he remembered the matter at hand.

"Zero Egg!" Jin Chen called out.

The lounge door slid open, Bai Ze walked in holding the Jade Pendant, the true form of the auspicious beast still asleep, temporarily unable to take shape.

"It needs some time to rest." Bai Ze explained the reason to Jin Chen, and only then said that.

Jin Chen reached out, his fingertip lightly touching the Jade Pendant.

"How long?" he asked.

Based on the time spent on missions, short as one world, long as two or three worlds.

Jin Chen didn't ask further; being able to fully heal his injuries was always a good thing.

"So," Bai Ze paused, looking at Jin Chen, "in the next mission world, I will arrange a new support system for you; do you have any requirements for the system?"

Jin Chen thought for a moment.

He actually had no special requirements, only saying, "Don't be too noisy, don't act on your own, don't randomly offer ideas."

To him, since it wasn't Zero Egg, the system was just a tool; as long as it didn't interfere with his missions and finding a wife, being usable was enough.

Bai Ze nodded, "Alright."

He raised his hand and made a casual swipe in the air.

A light screen appeared, with countless system numbers and basic data rapidly scrolling across it.

Bai Ze tapped a few of them with his fingertip; the data stream reorganized and filtered, finally settling.

"Number 999, new support system of the Rescue Department, basic evaluation excellent." Bai Ze looked at Jin Chen, "How is it?"

Jin Chen shrugged indifferently, "You decide."

"Then it's settled." Bai Ze closed the light screen, "Transmission has been arranged; you can make some preparations."

Quick Transmigration Bureau transmission area.

It is perpetually busy, countless mission-goers come and go; some have just finished a mission, looking exhausted, while others are polishing their weapons, preparing to enter a new world, and light pillars occasionally flare up and fade out.

Jin Chen stood before the designated teleportation array, with many mission-goers furtively glancing at him.

In the Quick Transmigration Bureau, Jin Chen is a celebrity; any one of his titles is enough to draw attention.

The teleportation array glowed blue.

At the same time, a mechanical voice sounded in his mind:

【Esteemed Master Jin Chen, hello, nice to meet you, I am the new support system of the Rescue Department, number 999.】

【Successfully bound with you; during this world's mission, I will provide you with necessary mission prompts and assistance functions.】

【Number 999 wholeheartedly at your service.】

Jin Chen grunted in acknowledgment.

At the moment the teleportation array's countdown reached zero, Jin Chen suddenly spoke, 【Gone, cold medicine.】

999: 【...】
