Chapter 111: Shared Room, Gentle Touch

  I feel my heart is in turmoil again. Saiguo Chen actually told me that as long as I agree to one condition, he can temporarily not take me back. Is this true or false?

  "What conditions?" I blinked, asking with a curious face. There was always a premonition that the conditions that Saichan could say would definitely not be good conditions, but if I didn't agree to them, I might be caught by him again.

  And now, with my own strength, it's impossible for me to defeat Saikoron without any equipment. My only weapon has also been given to Chai Meiya, which means that I'm really at a loss, and I'm just an ordinary girl.

  "Come home with me." Said Sai Guangchen succinctly, but these five words shocked my heart. What does he mean by this? Is Sai Guangchen, who has always been very serious on the surface, also a wolf with ulterior motives?

  "I just got back." I curled up the corner of my mouth, and went to Sai Guangchen's house for no reason. If he was a heartthrob, wouldn't I be sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth? Although Sai Guangchen is also a handsome guy, but I couldn't possibly be so promiscuous, right?!

  "If you don't go back, then you can only follow me back and do tasks for me properly." Saiguo Chen's tone was light and it couldn't be heard whether he was angry or not. However, thinking about being in the same room as Saiguo Chen made her feel a little scared.

  The car is still moving, I'm thinking about the possibility of jumping off. Or, if I jump, there's still a chance to escape. But in my heart, I'm still a little scared, isn't this risking one's life?

  But if I don't jump, I won't have a chance to gain freedom! I took a deep breath. Opened the car door, stepped out with one foot, ready to jump off.

  I thought I was going to have an intimate contact with the ground, but instead, it felt soft and fluffy below. It turned out that a cloud had caught me. That was the cloud that Saiyonji had set up in the other world, and now he had actually conjured up clouds to catch me.

  Xie Guanzhen stopped the car, and then Yun descended. I landed safely on the ground, and then he asked me with a smirk: "What's wrong? So desperate? Did you think jumping off the car could help you escape from me?"

  I didn't get up immediately. I sat there and felt suffocated. It seemed that I couldn't escape smoothly after all. Who let Sai Guangchen be not an ordinary person, am I destined to be at their mercy? Why are they so boring? Why must it be me?

  Is this what they call fate? No matter how hard I try to escape, I'll always be caught and brought back!

  "Right. I just want to hide." I continue to lie on the ground, not planning to get up. And even stick my mouth up high. Anyway, at this point, every second counts, I don't want to go back to the other world all of a sudden, but I'm powerless, so I think I'll take the most passive approach.

  "Get up, a woman sitting on the ground is really unseemly." Sai Guanzhen stretched out his hand, as if to help me up.

  I looked at Sae's outstretched hand, but didn't make any extra moves, just twitched the corner of my mouth and couldn't help complaining: "Even if you can take me back, I'm not in the mood to do tasks for you guys, aren't you also helpless?"

  If I wasn't genuinely helping them with their tasks, then even if they wanted me to go back, it would be useless.

  "How can you be so thick-headed?" Said Sai Guangchen with a helpless shrug, then he surprisingly bent down.

  "What do you want to do..." I immediately became alert and saw that he seemed to be about to reach out with both hands, so I quickly slapped his hand away.

  "You actually don't want to get up, so I can only reluctantly hold you." Saiguo Chen still cast his gaze on me, answering neither hastily nor slowly, as if he was born to be a laid-back person, and nothing was worth getting tense about.

  "I'm up, all right!" I could only stand up and respond with great reluctance. Nobody likes being managed by someone else, but he, Sai Guangchen, liked to manage himself.

  "Actually, I also know why you're afraid to go back with me, afraid that I'll eat you up. But, you're actually Ah Xiu's old shoe, why would I want to move you? This business isn't even worth calculating, it's not profitable at all!" Si Guan Chen started lecturing again after seeing me stand up.

  How dare you say I'm Feng Tuo Xu's broken shoe! It's really "the uncle can endure, but the aunt cannot endure"! I glared at Sai Guan Chen and said unevenly: "Who said I was his broken shoe? It's me who doesn't want him, not him who doesn't want me!"

  Yes, Feng Tongxu still wants to entangle me, but I don't want to be his spare tire! That's why I showed him a distant attitude.

  "Don't you want him? Then who do you want?" Saicheng Chen put on a listening pose again, and with that look of watching a good show, I knew he must think he's telling some kind of joke. Right, Feng Tongxu is the leader of Liheng Sect, many girls like him, but not me!

  "Who I want is none of your business!" I gave Sai Guan Chen a dirty look, and now my temper was rising too!

  "Alright, if you don't want anyone else, then come home with me." Saichan once again pushed me into the car with his usual tactics, and this time, I was completely at a loss for what he wanted to do.

  "Hey, what do you want me to do with this broken shoe? Don't you have shoes at home?" I really felt annoyed, Saiguo Chen said I was Feng Tongxu's broken shoe again and wanted to take me back to his house, what does this mean?!

  "There aren't many shoes, and even if I give you a pair of broken shoes, it's not many." Sai Guanzhen replied very implicitly, I'm guessing what this means, "not many shoes" is referring to the fact that there are other women in his household? Alas, indeed, men, I thought he was always so upright and proper, but it turns out that even here, he's still a wolf.

  "Is it that there are too many shoes, so you need my help to get rid of them?" I blinked my eyes and couldn't help but make a clever guess. I think this possibility exists, although he thinks I'm Feng Tuo Xu's broken shoe, but if his women are too numerous, he must hope I can drive some away!

  "Whatever!" Sai Guangchen replied perfunctorily, making me feel even more depressed.

  "Then I'll just go along with it!" I think I understand what Sai Guan Chen is getting at, he's just trying to get rid of the woman, and as a tomboy, I shouldn't have too much trouble doing that.

  Sai Guangchen parked his car in the parking lot, contrary to what I had imagined, Sai Guangchen did not live in a villa, but rather in an ordinary single apartment.

  "Excuse me, I'd like to ask the great Vice President of DD Company, what's with the habit of locking doors for no reason?" I couldn't help but want to spit at Sai Guanzhen's face. Although this neighborhood is filled with rich people, isn't it laughable that a prestigious Vice President like him doesn't live in a villa but instead lives in an apartment complex?

  "My home is not just one place, but I think that if it were a little smaller, I might be able to see you easily!" Said Sai Guangchen with a bright smile.

  Is it easy for you to meet me just because I'm a little homebody?

  I couldn't help but tense up, grasping the collar of my clothes tightly, and shouted at him in a deliberately rough tone: "Don't forget, I'm a broken shoe that's not good to wear."

  "Come on in, you must be tired!" Mr. Sai said as he pushed open the door and invited me in.

  The design of three rooms and one hall, inside is full of the fragrance of books and the elegance of ancient style, all are classical furniture, giving me a feeling of crossing over.

  "Ugh, how disappointing!" I scrunched up my face, feeling quite helpless.

  "Is there a feeling of going home?" Saiguo Chen raised an eyebrow, and I seemed to understand his meaning a little, or was it a bit like returning to the Liangong Church? But I still didn't quite get it.

  "Why can you all come and go freely in our world, but your place hasn't entered modernization yet?" I couldn't help but ask curiously. Is it really as Chai Meiya said, that improvement still needs time?

  "We have divided into two civilizations, one is Eastern civilization and the other is Western civilization." Sai Guanzhen poured me another cup of tea and continued to say: "In fact, our Eastern civilization tends to be more Xianxia, while Western civilization is so-called modern technology."

  "Really can cultivate immortality?" I couldn't help but widen my eyes and ask curiously.

  "It is possible to cultivate immortality, but generally, cultivating immortality can stay in the Zhenyuan Continent. However, deeper cultivation must cross the map, but although I and Feng Tuo Xu's abilities are still okay, we haven't tried crossing the map of the Zhenyuan Continent either. What kind of world will it be there? The entrance and exit are also not very clear." Sai Guangchen expressed helplessness and shrugged his shoulders.

  "Will cultivating immortality really grant eternal life?" I seem to be getting a bit excited, many books say so.

  "Actually, the task manual I gave you will have a way to cross the map in the later stages. If you give up now, you might miss out on many good opportunities." Saimu Chen took a sip of hot tea, looking very satisfied.

  My heart skipped a beat, it's really just like what Sai Guangchen said.

  If I stay there, the Eastern civilization yearns for immortality, and if I go to the West, I can see modern civilization, Western civilization yearns for technology.

  If you want deeper cultivation, you must cross maps and discover different domains.

  "If it's that great, why don't you do it yourself?" I also think what Sai Guangchen said makes sense. Although his words are moving, if it's really that good, why doesn't he do it himself?

  "Everyone has a different mission in life, and mine is not that." Said Sai Kung Cheun again with his usual nonsense, I really felt annoyed listening to him.

  "What mission is this, wasn't it forced upon me by you!" I pointed at Sai Guangchen's nose and said harshly.

  "Don't be angry anymore, being angry all the time makes you age easily." Saigun Chen said with his mouth, and actually reached out to touch my hair, that action was so gentle.

  "What are you doing...?" I feel a bit nervous, Saichan is touching my hair, as if we're a pair of intimate lovers or something. (..)
