Chapter 130 The Wanderer's Homecoming
Chapter 130 The Wanderer's Homecoming
"Congratulations, handsome man. You are the 520th customer of our restaurant today. Here are our hidden special desserts for you two." A waitress came to Ning Zhe's table with a tray and placed two sundaes next to Feng Yusu and him respectively. Then she bowed slightly, smiled at him, and turned away: "I wish you a pleasant meal."
The snow-white ice cream was dotted with mango pulp cut into a heart shape and thumb-sized cherries. Ning Zhe scooped a spoonful and found it sweet but not greasy, and quite delicious.
"You are so lucky." Feng Yushu looked very happy. She seemed to like desserts very much. You could tell from her figure.
"Just buy a lottery ticket and be honest." Ning Zhe shrugged and said, "There's a buddy abroad who was extremely lucky. He was struck by lightning and still managed to survive... However, even with such incredible luck, you definitely won't win even a 1 yuan consolation prize if you buy a lottery ticket in Central China."
It's not a matter of luck, it's a matter of math.
Feng Yuxu burst out laughing and scooped the cherry off the mango sundae with a spoon and put it into his mouth.
On the road outside the window, the accident scene was cleaned up by a tow truck and workers. The traffic order that was briefly disrupted was quickly restored to normal, and people on both sides of the street had more topics to talk about.
After finishing dessert, Feng Yusu paid the bill, walked out of the milk tea shop alone with a cup of lemon tea, crossed the road and returned to her car parked in the underground parking lot across the street.
She came out today in her husband's car. She was dressed quite smartly, in a formal suit, looking like an ordinary office lady who had just come out of an office building. Her smooth black hair was tied into a bun for easy movement, and on the bun on her head rested a beautiful aqua blue butterfly, which looked like some special hairpin decoration.
Feng Yuxu sat down in the driver's seat, and the butterfly perched on his head flew to the passenger seat and transformed into Ning Zhe's appearance.
"Has the mess in Yanglao Village been dealt with?" Ning Zhe asked straight to the point as soon as he sat down.
"It's all taken care of." Feng Yushu nodded: "After you took Yin Lishang away, I immediately went to deal with Ji Taiyu's grandmother's head."
As for how to "deal with" it specifically, Ning Zhe didn't need to give any further instructions.
"Death in Yanglao Village is not real death, but a path to the next level. So I didn't kill Ji Taixuan's grandmother. Instead, I gouged out her eyes with a knife, deafened her ears, stuffed her mouth with mud, and finally sealed her upper and lower jaws with wire. I threw her head into the eternally burning tree hole of the ginkgo tree."
"I think that should be enough insurance."
When Feng Yushu was talking, her hands on the steering wheel did not tremble at all. She was used to such things. Or numb to them.
"After dealing with the human-bone snake's head, I spent one and two copper coins to buy two lives from the God of Wealth, and returned from 'Xi' to 'Ghost'. I did the same thing with Ji Taiyu's head that you chopped off in the underworld on the -1 floor, and threw it into a villager's septic tank."
Having died once, Ji Taixuan is already a "ghost". Even if his head is chopped off and thrown into a septic tank, he will not die. Instead, he will continue to survive in that dark and stinking hell as a head.
If that state can be called alive.
After cleaning up all the mess, Feng Yuxu, who was on the -1 floor, picked up the copper coins that Ning Zhe casually threw on the steps at the door of Ji Taiyu's house, so he asked the God of Wealth for his life again and returned to reality alone.
At that time, Ning Zhe had already taken Yin Lishang far away.
When she contacted Ning Zhe again, she was asked to kill all the employees of Yunshan Pharmaceutical deployed in the Western Suburbs Science and Technology Park... It turned out that Feng Yusu had adapted to her current identity and situation, and she completed Ning Zhe's instructions in a proper manner.
"Well done." Ning Zhe nodded slightly, leaned back in the passenger seat, and looked up at the starry sky above his head. "Is there anything else I can do?" Feng Yushu asked.
"Not yet." Ning Zhe shook his head again: "I will go back to Qinzhou tomorrow."
Feng Yushu's originally relaxed expression suddenly became serious: "Ning Zhe, have you found the clues to the 'God that cannot be looked at directly'?"
She remembered clearly that the ascender named Yu Ziqian controlled two rules and two ghosts, one was called Ye Yao and the other's name was unknown. All that was known was that he "could not be looked at directly."
At that time, Feng Yusu used the special rule to step on Yu Ziqian's shadow to death in the hospital. When Ye Yao's rule was broken, the ghost moved to Feng Yusu's body along the foot that was stepped on by the special rule.
But at that time, only the rule of Ye Yao was broken. The 'God who cannot be looked directly at' became free and disappeared after Yu Ziqian's death. The freed god disappeared in the sky above Taoyuan City and no news was heard from him since.
Ning Zhe suddenly said that he wanted to go back to Qinzhou. Could it be that he has found clues about "God"?
"Um, I'm going back to Qinzhou to take the college entrance examination." Ning Zhe raised his head and motioned Feng Yushu to look at the electronic screen in the car: "Qinzhou's college entrance examination this year will start on July 7th, don't you know?"
Feng Yusu was stunned.
"Ah this..."
"You really don't know feelings." Ning Zhe sighed: "If I remember correctly, Bai Zhi is a freshman this year, right? Your reaction doesn't seem like someone who has a female college student at home... Ah, I almost forgot, you are from Yongzhou, and Yongzhou's college entrance examination is usually one week later than other states."
Feng Yushu shook her head repeatedly: "No, no..."
The reason why she was shocked was certainly not because she had forgotten the time of Qinzhou’s college entrance examination, but because she was shocked that... someone like Ning Zhe would actually take the college entrance examination.
Perhaps it was because Ning Zhe had always behaved too calmly and rationally. His image was as confusing as a flower in the fog, and as calm as a reef in a rapids. His strong self-centeredness and extremely aggressive style of behavior made Feng Yusu ignore most of the time that this young man named Ning Zhe was actually a senior high school student who was one year younger than her daughter.
Now being reminded of this absurd fact once again, she felt that the whole world was so unreal.
"Don't look at me like that. If possible, I don't want to go into the examination room to write that crappy paper, but I am Ning Zhe." Ning Zhe closed his eyes and said softly, "Ning Zhe has to take the exam no matter what. Even if the sky falls."
Even if we put aside Ning Zhe's self-awareness, it is a bit too eye-catching for a model student who always ranks at the top to suddenly drop out of school and give up the exam.
"I understand..." Feng Yusu nodded.
Seeing her somewhat lost look, Ning Zhe said nothing.
In principle, he did not lie to Feng Yushu. He did want to go home to take the college entrance examination, but this was only one of the reasons why he wanted to return to Qinzhou. The other reason was -
He did get some clues about the 'God that cannot be looked at directly'.
