Chapter 3200: Saving the Zero-Egg Bai Ze Love Story 01

Ling Gun Gun stood before the full-length mirror, twisting left and right, clicking his tongue in wonder at the exquisitely over-refined youthful face in the mirror, somewhere between boy and young man, retaining a touch of childishness while faintly revealing the noble bearing of an ancient divine beast after taking human form.

Ling Gun Gun tugged at the new clothes Bai Ze had prepared for him, turned to look at Jin Chen slumped on the sofa with a look of utter hopelessness, and rushed over excitedly, "Host! How is it? Handsome or not? I told you my transformed form would definitely be super handsome!"

Jin Chen felt dizzy from being shaken by Ling Gun Gun, raised a hand to press against Ling Gun Gun's forehead and pushed him away.

Handsome, handsome, handsome, stop shaking.

"Then give me a new name!" Ling Gun Gun's eyes shone bright, he declared righteously, "Ling Gun Gun was my name as a little beast; now that I've taken human form, I need a proper formal name!"

Jin Chen: "……"

Jin Chen tried to shift the blame, "How about letting Bai Ze pick one for you?"

"No way, hurry up, Host! I want a name that's especially impressive, especially cultured, that when spoken will awe the whole crowd!"

Jin Chen remained silent for a long time, under Ling Gun Gun's expectant gaze and Bai Ze's meaningful stare from the doorway, he slowly opened his mouth, "Shall I first look through the dictionary?"

So for the next half hour, Jin Chen really held the dictionary and flipped through it, brows furrowed, muttering words under his breath. Ling Gun Gun squatted nearby, chin in hand, waiting, occasionally peeking over, full of curiosity.

Finally, Jin Chen closed the book, "Yi Qi."

Ling Gun Gun blinked: "Which one?"

"Yi, meaning 'to receive blessings through sacrifice, virtue boundless.'" Jin Chen threw the thick dictionary at him, "If you don't like it, forget it."

Yi Qi read it once, "Sounds great! Let's go with this!"

Jin Chen was nearly choked by his hold, "……Bai Ze!!"

——

The spiritual power consumed by the transformation was enormous; although Yi Qi remained excited, his body was honest, and after the commotion he felt his stomach rumble, Bai Ze took him to eat his fill, and, satisfied, he rubbed his belly and leaned against Bai Ze to doze off.

"Bai Ze," Chenshu found them, his voice clear and moist, "Come with me for a moment."

A moment later, inside the bureau chief's office.

Chenshu sat in the chief's seat, Jin Chen lazily leaning on the armrest beside him, idly playing with the dangling ends of Chenshu's hair.

Yi Qi sat upright opposite them, unusually somewhat nervous, Bai Ze standing at his side.

Chenshu got straight to the point: "Bai Ze, you've been in human form since the divine realm, handling my affairs for years; in terms of experience and disposition, I have no worries."

But between you and Zero……Yi Qi, your hearts are tied to each other, no doubt, but do you truly feel the Seven Emotions and Six Desires?

Yi Qi blinked, half-understanding, "I have the Host's……so many love manuals from the small worlds!"

Chenshu nodded, "That's precisely why your feelings largely stem from observing and imitating me and Jin Chen; you've seen how we get along, how we love each other, but love and imitation are different."

So I decided to send you to the small world to seal your memories, as mortals, to undergo from scratch the tempering of the Seven Emotions and Six Desires.

Yi Qi exclaimed in surprise, "Ah oh!"

He fidgeted, glancing at Bai Ze the big boss, feeling a bit shy, changed the subject to look at Jin Chen, "Will the Host go?"

"No." Jin Chen said firmly, "This is your own path."

Bai Ze slowly nodded, taking hold of Yi Qi's furtively extended hand, "Good."

Chenshu nodded satisfactorily, "Rest assured, I'll have the safety officers closely monitor your progress; nothing major will happen."

——

After years had passed, who knows how many months had elapsed in the small world.

Jin Chen emerged from the spiritual pool, shaking water droplets from his hair, feeling every pore on his body exuding spiritual energy.

This absorption was a bit fierce; the Divine Tree Origin's moisture for the next hundred years was fully replenished.

"Comfortable."

Jin Chen stretched lazily, eyebrows slightly raised, the corner of his mouth holding a hint of nonchalant smile.

Just as he was about to go find his wife to laze around for a while, he suddenly received the highest-level alert from the safety officers.

It wasn't an ordinary communication; it was sent bypassing ranks, skipping all intermediate procedures, marked red urgent, directly reaching his and Chenshu's terminals.

This is strange—either the heavens have collapsed, or something even worse than that.

Jin Chen clicked his tongue, and as his divine power circulated, his wet hair instantly dried; he flickered and vanished from the spot.

By the time he pushed the door open, Chenshu was already there.

In the Quick Transmigration Bureau's supervision area, before the gigantic monitoring light screen, several safety officers sweated profusely as they operated the various parameters. Chenshu had arrived first, a white robe standing before the light screen, gazing at the chaotic energy of the small world displayed on the screen, his long fingers tapping lightly in the void, his brows slightly furrowed.

Jin Chen strolled over leisurely, directly slinging himself onto Chenshu's back from behind, his chin resting on the shoulder.

"What's wrong?" he asked lazily, his voice tinged with a nasal tone and rising inflection, "How did you even manage to alarm our bureau chief?"

Chenshu, being rubbed by him, had his originally furrowed brows relax a bit, he shifted the floating screen to the side, indicating for him to look himself.

Jin Chen lifted his eyes, glanced at the data on the light curtain, and slowly straightened his body.

One of the safety officers stammered, "Chief, Lord Jin Chen, the small world where 0731 and Spiritual Terminal Bai Ze are located……the Heavenly Dao has sent an urgent plea for aid; that world is undergoing structural collapse, expected to completely disintegrate within seventy-two hours."

Jin Chen: "……"

"……Wasn't I supposed to let them go fall in love?" Jin Chen found it hard to believe, "How could you even mess up the world's will?"

Chenshu rubbed his brow, sighed, and also with a sense of resigned expectation.

It seems my worries were not unfounded; back then Yi Qi had not yet taken human form, all his knowledge came from observing you, and Bai Ze was the same.

"Once the sealed memories enter the small world, they lose their reference point, have no template to imitate, no experience to draw on, two people who completely don't understand feelings are forced together……"

He didn't finish the rest of his sentence, but the meaning was already clear.

Jin Chen felt his head throb, "So what now, send someone in to fish them out?"

The safety officer tried hard not to notice the bureau chief and Lord Jin Chen's sticky little interactions, then interjected, "Should we dispatch operatives to assist? We can allocate an experienced team of operatives."

Chenshu pondered for a moment, shook his head, "No need to send others; we'll go ourselves."

Jin Chen exclaimed, pointing at himself, "I have to go too?"

Chenshu tilted his head at him, speaking kindly, "You want me to go alone?"

Jin Chen: "……Oh dear."

"Well, let's just stay together." Jin Chen gave in, leaning back against Chenshu again. "In this little world, it's so long—I don't want to wait here alone, hoping for my wife to come back, come back."

"They're off, off— the sooner they go, the sooner they'll be back. I really want to see what those two idiots can actually manage, capable of talking a world into collapse."

The security guard lowered their head silently, pretending not to have seen or heard anything.

Professionalism, professionalism.

The next second, the teleportation light swallowed their silhouettes.
