Tomb Raider: The Fox's Ways to Seducing the Kirin

"Because you are my fiancé."

Before the boy could finish his words, the person outside the door answered the boy's question for him.

Cheng Ji stood up suddenly and looked towards the door.

A man in a long gown and with long white hair appeared in Cheng Ji's sight.

Cheng Ji was very sure that he did not know the patriarch of the Lu Shu tribe in front of him, and he did not know what they meant by this.

The man was polite: "Cheng Ji, you may not know me, but I recognize you, I am Lu Ming."

Cheng Ji took a step back with a serious expression: "I don't know you, and I don't need to know you. I have someone I like, please respect yourself, sir."

The man chuckled and did not refute Cheng Ji's words.

"That child from the Zhang family, right? He is indeed a good match. Don't be nervous. The engagement between you and me was originally arranged by your father. In fact, I am the one who got the better deal."

"At that time, in order to save my mother's life, I borrowed your clan's most precious treasure, the Nine-Tailed Blood Jade. I never had the chance to return it to its original owner. Later, when your clan was in trouble, your father sent me a letter to make this promise."

As he spoke, the man handed the silk book in his arms to Cheng Ji, shook his head slightly, and then said: "A gentleman helps others to achieve their goals. I don't have the hobby of coveting other people's husbands. I came here this time because I calculated some causes and effects between us and guessed that my people would cause trouble to you."

"I will also return the blood jade I borrowed earlier to its original owner. Also, this Gutongjing is my territory. I can help you find what you are looking for this time."

When Cheng Ji saw the silk book handed to him and the familiar handwriting on it, his hands suddenly felt weak and he couldn't hold the thing.

This person did not lie, this was indeed his father's handwriting, and it was indeed his father who wanted to find him a backer, which led to the current situation.

Lu Ming waved his hand in one direction, and a small white snake emerged from the sand and coiled around his hand affectionately. "Because of my previous negligence, the bad guys succeeded and I missed the time for you to wake up. So, this is my compensation for you."

"What is this?" Reading his father's documents was one thing, but making him believe the man in front of him was another. Cheng Ji asked cautiously.

"A small snake that can transmit pheromones. It can find the memory carrier you are looking for and transfer it to your brain through dream weaving." Lu Ming explained.

"No reward without merit." Cheng Ji shook his head and did not take it.

"You are helping me to ward off disaster, how can it be in vain? The mission of our Lu Shu tribe is to guard the biggest secret down here. If you hadn't interfered, the secret here would have been known to the world in a hundred years. Those people kept the Zhang family's secret, but setting up a trap here exposed the biggest secret here, and the world consciousness collapsed."

As he spoke, Lu Ming smiled and glanced at the young man: "Why do you think you were swept into the turbulence of time and space and happened to see a book about the future?"

Cheng Ji was stunned: "These..."

"I was the one who let you see it. I'm sorry, I took the initiative. There was really no other way at that time. Dreamweaving is a unique skill of my tribe. When you were sleeping in the turbulence of time and space, I could naturally change your dream."

Cheng Ji did not respond to the man's question, but asked Lu Ming another question: "My father in this life..."

Lu Ming of course knew what the boy wanted to ask, so he explained, "He is a branch of our Lu Shu clan, and the reason why your bloodline was activated is because of the blood jade."

Cheng Ji didn't say anything else. He seemed to want to think seriously about his current situation.

Lu Ming could see that the boy was also seriously digesting this matter, so he didn't bother him any more: "You've let go of your anger, so I'll take my men away first. Oh, and the one outside. I won't disturb your relationship with the kid from the Zhang family."

"But why are you helping me so much?" Cheng Ji still couldn't understand, and when the man handed the white snake to him, he couldn't help but ask.

Lu Ming smiled. He was indeed a rare handsome man when he smiled. His voice was warm and mellow, as if it had magical power, calming Cheng Ji's impatience.

"I told you, mission. What you are going to do will have a great impact on this world and is of great importance, so helping you is my mission. Another reason is that your father and I were close friends at the time, and your father was willing to lend me the blood jade, so you should just consider it as a return of favor."

"Well, if you keep asking, the people outside will come in and beat me." Lu Ming walked up to the 'Bearded Man', leaned over and patted him on the shoulder, and the 'Bearded Man' came back to his senses.

"Master... Master." The boy saw Lu Ming in front of him with a guilty look on his face. He really didn't expect that this boy, who seemed like a dodder in his eyes, had such great abilities. Not only did he go against the master's wishes, but he was also so humiliated that he was made to behave like this.

Lu Ming raised his hand to wipe away the blood on the neck of the bearded man, and said with a rare stern tone: "Si Yu, there won't be a next time."

The boy stammered and lowered his head, not daring to make any more excuses.

At this time, Hei Xia Zi came in with the team leader and Zhang Qiling. He was stunned for a moment when he saw the mess in the house. He asked why the mute had to come back so quickly. It turned out that his house was almost robbed.

Hei Xiazi walked over first, and seeing the 'bearded man' who had changed his appearance drastically, he teased in a mean way: "Hey, buddy, you changed your face in a short while. I warned you about the mutant carnivorous plant, but you didn't listen. You can't blame Hei Ye for not reminding you."

Siyu felt extremely embarrassed, who would have thought that this was what Hei Xia Zi meant!

Zhang Qiling walked over and hugged the boy in his arms, without paying any attention to anyone else, and stared at the boy in his arms.

Cheng Ji looked up at the face that he had spent several days getting used to but still couldn't fully adapt to. He smiled lightly, raised his hand and gently removed the human skin mask on Zhang Qiling's face, revealing the face that originally belonged to Zhang Qiling.

Cheng Ji struggled slightly but failed to break free. Reluctantly, he raised his head and met the eyes of the man in front of him. Unexpectedly, there was a hint of grievance in the eyes of Zhang Qiling, who was always cold and expressionless.

Cheng Ji reached out and hugged Zhang Qiling back, coaxing him in a negotiating tone, "Brother, he and I have nothing, don't be unhappy~"

Zhang Qiling didn't say anything, but the grievance in his eyes did not diminish in the slightest.

Cheng Ji had no choice but to continue coaxing: "Old rules, one day?"

Zhang Qiling remained unmoved.

"Two days?"

"..."

"Three days, don't push your luck." Cheng Ji's tone was threatening. After all, the last fifteen days was still fresh in his mind. He didn't know where this bastard had learned those evil things, chains, beads and jade, which almost killed him.

And that silk gauze skirt was so transparent that it couldn't cover anything. He really couldn't understand how this man who didn't even understand love before could suddenly understand so many things.

When Cheng Ji was complaining in his heart, Zhang Qiling said at the right time: "Si Tian, ​​you scolded me."

Cheng Ji was stunned: "When did I scold you?"

"Heart."

"..."

"Puff." The tent was not big, so the conversation between Cheng Ji and Zhang Qiling was heard clearly by everyone present. Some even spit out the water they had just drunk.

Hei Xia Zi apologized and smiled without any regret: "I'm sorry, I really couldn't help it. The main reason is that after watching it so many times, I still can't get used to the mute's style of talking about love."

Lu Ming also stood up with a smile and nodded: "Then I won't bother you any more. I will take these people away first."

Cheng Ji turned around and returned the greeting.

Several people stood in front of the tent and watched Lu Ming and his group leave.

After they disappeared from Cheng Ji and the others' sight, Hei Xiazi couldn't wait to ask, "Master Cheng, what's going on? Please help me solve this puzzle."

Cheng Ji suppressed the slight sadness in his eyes and took out the silk book and handed it to Hei Xia Zi.

Hei Xia Zi saw the general content above and said in surprise: "So that person is your future husband... a stranger, um, a stranger."

Hei Xia Zi was halfway through his words when he received a death stare from Zhang Qiling standing beside him. He almost couldn't control his words and almost spit them out. Fortunately, he relied on his excellent life-saving instinct to brake in time.

Cheng Ji laughed in silence: "What are you talking about? The leader of the Lu clan has already found someone in his heart, so stop talking nonsense."

"Nothing can be hidden from him in this area, but so many of his men were able to sneak into the team right under his nose. Do you really think he is unaware and incompetent?"

Hei Xia Zi's mind was as clear as a mirror, so he could naturally see what Lu Ming was thinking. He just wanted to make things difficult for certain people, and when he saw that Cheng Ji gave him a way out, he went along with it.

"They are all old monsters who have lived for thousands of years. They kill two birds with one stone. It's a great trick." Hei Xia Zi exclaimed as if he had suddenly realized something.

Lu Ming, who had walked nearly a thousand meters away, seemed to have heard something. He lowered his head to look at the boy who was holding his hand and still feeling guilty. He smiled silently and clenched his hands.
