Chapter 906
0731 couldn't help but sigh.
Truly an evil couple.
However, good and evil are repaid; if this bunch of dogs hadn't initially targeted Yishen, they wouldn't have these troubles.
Even Number Two, who had gone mad with frenzy, was eventually killed by Jin Chen.
Two sets of white bones remained in the ruined temple; Jin Chen and Yishen left the mountaintop.
Jin Chen also took the wristbands from Number Two and Number One, and together with the one previously snatched from Yi Xi, there were three in total.
Yi Xi's was obviously different from theirs, having an extra link function and fewer permissions.
Jin Chen fiddled for a while, using Yi Xi's wristband function to locate the Time Exchange's current position; perhaps after being broken into last time they got scared, they actually moved to a more concealed spot.
This time, no matter what is said, Yishen insists on going along.
He really didn't want to suddenly receive news of Jin Chen's disappearance again; even if he were captured, he couldn't bear the thought of being separated from Jin Chen.
——
"How did you get in here!"
"You're actually still alive!"
"Quick! Quick, go call the director!"
When Jin Chen and the two broke into the Time Exchange ignoring the alarm, the surviving members, unaware he was still alive, were shocked into fear; the scene of so many members being killed earlier was still fresh in their minds, and they simply didn't think they could stop this madman.
As it happened, Number One and Number Two weren't there today; Director…… Director, where did you go!
This time Jin Chen came without much nonsense; everything that needed clarifying had been clarified; today he was here to eliminate future trouble, to let this rotten place and these damn things disappear together.
So he acted swiftly, shooting anyone he saw.
Although the Time Exchange members have high HP, their weakness is obvious; anyone hit by an energy gun almost certainly dies, and of course such guns also inflict great harm on ordinary people.
But with Jin Chen present, Yishen had no chance of getting shot.
The Director was forced out alive by Jin Chen.
Originally, Huah Shu's death made the Director very happy, but this dangerous element is now obviously even more insane than Huah Shu.
The Director felt utter regret.
If they had known earlier there would be such a dangerous element, they wouldn't have targeted Yishen.
Two capable lieutenants were killed one after another, and the exchange that had existed for hundreds of years was almost destroyed!
"Don't kill, don't kill, can't we surrender? I have something to say! I have something to say…"
The Director could bend and stretch, showing no trace of his former might, and together with the remaining members he crowded in, shouting loudly.
Jin Chen stopped his motion, casually wiping the blood spattered on his wrist, "Speak."
Besides, there's no need to worry about breaking character in front of his wife; Jin Chen hadn't forgotten that Yishen's persona he set for him was to be ruthless toward enemies.
"I'll take the remaining people to another spacetime; after killing so many of our members, can we just call previous things even?"
The Director was nearly bursting with anger; having witnessed Jin Chen's strength, he dared to be angry but not to speak.
"Call it even?"
Jin Chen turned to look at his wife, after a few seconds of eye contact he saw Yishen's questioning gaze, he shook his head, and refocused on the crowd huddled in the corner.
"Nobody wants to call it even with you."
Their fate might be a bit too lenient.
Yishen still had a pen in his hand; he lowered his gaze, suddenly chuckled, hooked his arm around Jin Chen's, "I've thought of a good plan."
The pen spun deftly in his hand; Yishen fixed his gaze on the Director, his smile as wicked as Jin Chen's.
"Phantom Realm, welcome you."
"What…"
The Director was still bewildered; upon grasping Yishen's implied meaning, Jin Chen immediately acted, grabbing a random strap from here, regardless of its purpose, and bound these people thoroughly.
Jin Chen clapped his hands, bouncing over to the writing Yishen to ask for a reward.
In less than two minutes, the world they were to be imprisoned in had already been written.
Using this pen consumes more mental energy than a Word Spirit; Yishen used only a tiny amount of ink, yet his words were precise and vicious, ensuring these people would have no good time in the Phantom Realm.
Although the Director and others were skilled at time travel, they now had no ability to resist; they could only watch helplessly as they were sucked into the Void Realm, never able to escape.
Perhaps in a few years they too will become distorted and inhuman like Huah Shu.
But in a sense, they indeed achieved the immortality they pursued.
This is the best outcome Yishen could think of for them.

"It's all over, right?"
Yishen realized the place they were standing had changed from inside the Time Exchange to a no-longer-ordinary warehouse.
He turned, and the distance between him and Jin Chen was now within arm's reach.
The two embraced, and Yishen heard Jin Chen's reply: "Yes, it's all over; the New Year is coming soon."
Only then did Yishen realize how quickly time had passed; his schedule had been hectic, even nerve‑racking, and he hadn't expected the New Year to be upon him so suddenly.
The two came to the street to buy New Year goods and couplet window decorations.
Yishen had never realized before that simply going out to buy New Year goods with someone he likes could also let him feel the joy of the approaching New Year.
The surrounding bustle had nothing to do with him, yet the lively atmosphere enveloped him, seeping into his heart.
"Shenshen! Look at this."
Jin Chen appeared from behind Yishen, placed a red scarf on him, Jin Chen also wore the same one, a couple's style,
But Yishen said, "I want to wear this one."
Cool hands slipped into Jin Chen's neck, smiling, "Yours is warmer."
Jin Chen thought, "He's really spoiled," and willingly placed a scarf warmed by his own body heat and scent on his lover, his tone proud and affectionate.
"Yishen doesn't like this scarf; he likes me."
"Oh... so thick-skinned."
Yishen didn't deny it, turned to try some dried fruit, but secretly grabbed the fluffy scarf, lowered his head to sniff it, smiling until his eyes crinkled.

On New Year's Eve, the city's nearly half-month of overcast rain finally gave way to sunlight; the gloom disappeared and warm sunshine was reborn.
Yishen's home finally had the festive atmosphere.
Together with Jin Chen, they prepared the New Year's feast, exchanged gifts with neighbors on the same floor, and personally wrote couplets.
Even though they had thoughts of moving away, in this home they'd lived in for years, the last New Year was still filled with laughter and warm intimacy.
After the New Year, following long field research and temporary residence, Yishen finally chose a southern small city with year-round sunshine and spring blossoms as the "hometown" where he and Jin Chen would live next.
During his stay, Yishen visited many unseen mountain and river vistas, gathered much inspiration, recorded them, and they became the opening of his new book.
No one could plunder his Fortune Value; Yishen, through his own effort, rose to become a rising domestic writer, and with Jin Chen enjoyed meals through the seasons, living the life he had once only imagined.
