Chapter 86 [Transfiguration, get it! ]

Gu Qingyi turned her head and saw Chen Yan. Her body suddenly stiffened. The 21-year-old stepmother was stunned for two seconds.

Finally, she looked at Chen Yan calmly, and her tone was also very calm: "Well, you are back."

After saying that, she seemed calm as she turned off her phone and placed it gently on the sofa.

However, the slight blush on her cheeks still betrayed Gu Qingyi's mood swings at the moment.

Chen Yan looked at his young stepmother...just, are you just acting?

He smiled in his heart, then picked up his bag and walked in.

Gu Qingyi said calmly: "Have you had dinner?"

Chen Yan looked at his phone and replied, "It's only 3:40 in the afternoon."

Gu Qingyi's expression froze again. Chen Yan smiled and said, "Actually, I also like watching dance videos on YouTube. You don't have to..."

"You didn't see anything just now." Gu Qingyi stared into Chen Yan's eyes seriously.

"I clearly..."

Gu Qingyi frowned, and said in a more serious tone, "I will beat you up, and it will hurt a lot."

“…”

The 22-year-old Haodaer decisively admitted his mistake, saying in an equally serious tone: "I didn't see anything!"

Then, Chen Yan saw the piles of snacks on the coffee table in the living room...

There were more than a dozen bags of potato chips that had been opened and eaten. Seven or eight bags of pistachios, basil, melon seeds, peanuts, etc. There was only half a box of Coke left!

There was also a box of Chen Yan's favorite Nestle Crunchy Shark chocolate wafer biscuits, which was also opened, and only a thin layer of the bottom was left!!!

Chen Yan took a deep breath and looked at Gu Qingyi: "...You destroyed all the New Year snacks I bought for the New Year?!"

Gu Qingyi had a stern face and said nothing. After a few seconds of silence, she stretched out a finger and slowly spoke:

"none!"

"Ah? What did you say?" Chen Yan didn't hear clearly.

"Mutually!"

Oh shit!

Chen Yan's legs suddenly went weak, and he laughed quickly, "Just eat it, things are bought to be eaten by people. I originally felt that the snacks I bought for the New Year were too few and not enough, I'll go to the supermarket tomorrow and buy some more."

Gu Qingyi looked at Chen Yan silently, finally withdrew his fingers, turned and left.

Chen Shuzi wiped the sweat from his forehead...

Well... respecting your mother is the traditional filial piety of the Dragon Kingdom.

Mr. Chen comforted himself in his heart.

What's more, this 21-year-old stepmother's "sword in the hand of a loving mother" can do more than just "cut the enemy".

If you push her too far, she might become like "a sword in the hand of a loving mother, chopping off the body of her illegitimate son"!

·

After Chen Yan returned home, he discovered that Gu Qingyi hadn't even ordered takeout in the past two days, so there was no takeout packaging waste at home.

...This girl has been eating snacks these days!

Well, you are a celestial being, you are immune to all diseases.

Chen Yan was actually hungry - he had breakfast at He's house in the morning and left. On the way, Su Yi called him back to the mountains to kill a white fox.

After coming out, I went home... It was already past three forty in the afternoon and I hadn't even had lunch.

Although the old fox was very kind and gracious in his actions, he obviously did not understand the ways of the world - he did not even invite the guests to dinner.

Chen Yan sighed.

After going out to kill the enemy and coming back home, I have to cook for myself...

Too lazy to order takeout, Chen Yan ran into the kitchen, took out two vegetables from the refrigerator and washed them.

I boiled a pot of water, and after it boiled, I threw a handful of noodles into the pot, beat two eggs, and then threw the vegetables into the pot and boiled them.

I cut some pickled mustard tuber into shreds and put them in a bowl to enhance the flavor.

Finally, take the noodles, eggs and vegetables out of the pot and pour the boiling soup into the bowl. The aroma of the pickled mustard tuber is immediately brought out by the hot water.

A bowl of vegetable and egg noodles, done!

After Chen Yan finished his work, he turned around and saw his twenty-one-year-old stepmother leaning against the kitchen door, looking at him quietly with her head tilted.

She... is swallowing???

All right.

This girl has been eating snacks these two days and hasn't had any proper meals.

Mr. Chen sighed, took out a pair of chopsticks filially, and handed a bowl of noodles to Gu Qingyi.

Gu Qingyi's face was still tense, but there seemed to be a glimmer of light in her eyes. She sat back at the dining table with the noodles and started cooking.

Chen Yan curled the corner of his mouth, turned and went into the kitchen, made himself another serving of vegetable and egg noodles, and then went to the dining table.

The twenty-one-year-old stepmother and the twenty-two-year-old eldest son sat face to face, eating with relish.

After eating a bowl of noodles, Gu Qingyi let out a sigh of relief, a look of satisfaction in her eyes. She picked up the remaining shredded pickled mustard in the bowl with chopsticks and put it into her mouth out of boredom, while she began to ask Chen Yan about his trip.

Chen Yan recounted his experiences at the He family one by one.

He talked about how he was asked by the old fox to go back and help kill the white fox, and he got some rewards in the end, and the old fox told him about Chen Jue...

The more Gu Qingyi listened, the more serious his expression became, and he put down the chopsticks in his hand.

After Chen Yan finished telling what he had heard about Chen Jue...

Gu Qingyi suddenly stared at Chen Yan with a serious look.

"You'd better keep this matter to yourself, Chen Yan!"

"Um."

“The method of blocking the secrets of heaven must involve the Great Celestial Venerable.” Gu Qingyi’s tone was very serious: “I don’t know why a Great Celestial Venerable would take action against Chen Jue… but you are Chen Jue’s son, you’d better not let others know that you know these things!”

"Are you worried that the Great Lord will deal with me?"

"Yes." Gu Qingyi nodded seriously, with some worry in his eyes: "You must never go to the domain in the future."

"Don't worry, I will die in this world of ours! I will never go to the realm even if you kill me!"

"I'm glad you think so." Gu Qingyi breathed a sigh of relief.

"What about you?" Chen Yan frowned and looked at Gu Xiaoniang: "You are going to marry Chen Jue... After the ghost marriage, you will be the daughter-in-law of the Chen family. Chen Jue has such a big secret and cause and effect, and it also involves the Great Heavenly Venerable...

Aren't you worried that after you return to the realm... your identity as 'Chen Jue's wife' will bring you trouble?"

Gu Qingyi shook his head: "When a person dies, the account is settled. Chen Jue is dead, even if the Great Heavenly Venerable targeted him, it is a thing of the past. There is no reason to punish me.

Besides... my marriage certificate was also written by the Great Celestial Venerable. What I did was in accordance with the will of heaven. Even the Great Celestial Venerable has no reason to trouble me."

When Chen Yan heard this, he suddenly had an idea.

"There are two great celestial masters in the domain. I think... the one who dealt with Chen Jue and the one who wrote the marriage certificate for you... should not be the same person, right?"

Gu Qingyi thought about it seriously and shook his head: "I don't know, probably not."

This trip to deal with the He family's affairs ended here. The two chatted a little more, talking about Gu Qingyi's stay at home these days... The young stepmother suddenly complained.

"The Spring Festival Gala in your world is getting uglier and uglier. After Mrs. Zhao passed away, there was still an old man Zhao to watch. Later, when old man Zhao stopped performing... I really couldn't watch it anymore! I watched the last few years of the Spring Festival Gala, ah!"

As he spoke, Gu Qingyi shook his head and made an assessment: "Nothing!"

Chen Yan thought about it, pulled Gu Qingyi back to the living room, and turned on several variety shows for her on TV: a talk show conference and the annual comedy competition.

"Look at this. It's much more interesting than the Spring Festival Gala."

Gu Qingyi curled her lips: "Your evaluation is not high... I think any show is more interesting than the Spring Festival Gala."

However, despite complaining like this, Gu Xiaoniang still sat on the sofa holding the remote control.

·

Chen Yan went downstairs to the practice room in the basement. After sitting down, he began to study the white fox inner elixir. After holding the inner elixir in his hand, he infused his vital energy into it...

After a moment, Chen Yan felt something in his heart, and the formula of his innate magical power flashed in his mind instantly...

·

In an hour, Chen Yan had basically mastered the white fox's innate magical power... In fact, it was just a ready-made meal.

This magical power has been imprinted in his inner elixir, and he does not need to learn or practice it at all. He just needs to master the trick of activating the spell.

However, with Chen Yan's current level of cultivation, he tested it and found that he could probably transform into a being no more than three times his own size - wanting to transform into a Godzilla taller than a skyscraper, that's just a dream!

At its smallest, it can only shrink to the size of an ant.

However, this spell has a special feature: if you want to transform something into something, you must clearly visualize the appearance of that thing in your mind.

That is to say, if you want to become an ant, you must clearly imagine the appearance of an ant in your mind.

If you want to become someone, you must have a clear picture of that person's appearance in your mind.

This step is called: visualization.

Moreover...initial visualization can only change the appearance, but does not provide the ability to control the object of change.

For example, if you turn into a bird, your appearance will become that of a bird, but you will not be able to fly.

If you turn into a bird and want to be able to fly at the same time, then complicated operations are required: If you turn into a bird and want to fly, then just visualizing the appearance of a bird, the head, body, wings... is not enough!

You also need to be able to visualize the bones and muscles of birds in your mind!

One reason why birds can fly is that their skeletons are hollow, which greatly reduces their weight. Combined with the effect of aerodynamics, they can soar in the air...

In other words, the more specific the visualization is, the more basic abilities one can acquire to change the object.

Otherwise, the transformed bird won't be able to fly, and the transformed spider won't be able to spin a web...

"This magical power is not as simple as I thought before."

Chen Yan thought about it, picked up the phone and sent a message to "Campus Part-time Job King·Xiao Zhao".

Got a reply quickly.

During the winter vacation, Mr. Zhao has returned to his hometown. He said that he also brought a few classmates back to Hengdian to have fun as extras and earn some pocket money.

"I heard you say before that you have a high school classmate who is studying at Jinling Agricultural University?"

"yes."

"Then do me a favor and find their biology classmates to buy a set of animal anatomy textbooks and notes. The more complete the better..."

Xiao Zhao was silent for a long time before replying, not with a text message, but with a voice message.

When Chen Yan clicked it, he heard Xiao Zhao's somewhat nervous voice.

"Brother, who are you going to kill? Are you going to figure out how to dismember the body?"

Chen Yan replied angrily: "Get lost! If I want to kill someone, you will be the first one to be skinned alive."

Xiao Zhao agreed with a smile, saying that he would find someone to buy a set - every year many graduates would sell old textbooks and notebooks, and such things were widely circulated on campus, so it was not difficult to find them. If he got them in a few days, he would mail them to Chen Yan.

Well, brother Zhao Shanhe is still reliable.

Chen Yan praised in his heart and hung up the phone.

But soon, the phone rang again, and this time the caller was the real estate agent Hu Shangke, a classmate of Hu Licking Dog.

Hu Licking Dog called to tell Chen Yan that he had already reached an agreement with the owner of the bungalow that collapsed in the earthquake regarding compensation.

The homeowner thought reconstruction was too troublesome and demanded $300,000 in cash as compensation.

Hu Shangke told Chen Yan that the price had not reached the bottom, but it was almost there.

The house is an old bungalow in a remote location and is not very large. Even if it is sold, it would only be worth a little over 200,000 yuan.

If Chen Yan is not satisfied with the price, Hu Licking Dog said that he could continue to negotiate. If he could lower the price, he could probably get it down to 300,000 or 50,000, but it would be unlikely to go any lower.

Chen Yan thought about it and said, "Let's not talk about it. Let's just say 300,000."

In fact, in this incident, the homeowner suffered an unprovoked disaster.

No mistake, just one song, one post, one content, one look!

It is impossible to claim that the house was damaged by the earthquake and then seek compensation from the government...

It is generally difficult for the government to compensate for things like house damage caused by earthquakes... unless it is a severe, large-scale, destructive earthquake!

Generally, only when a large-scale destructive earthquake occurs will the government initiate reconstruction projects to help the victims rebuild their homes, which can be regarded as compensation for the housing losses caused by the earthquake.

However, it is difficult to do this in general non-destructive earthquakes where buildings are damaged.

The last time we survived the seven-day catastrophe, the earthquake was only 3.8 on the magnitude scale, far from being destructive.

In a general, non-destructive earthquake, if a house is damaged, the most you can get is some official compensation - note, it is compensation, not compensation. There is a big difference between the two.

And even for this compensation, there is a very complicated procedure. The authorities have to survey the site, confirm that the house was damaged in the earthquake, issue a survey certificate, and then go through a very long procedure - I don't know how efficient the authorities are.

Finally, it is possible to get compensation...but this compensation is unlikely to reach the level of the house price.

Therefore, if Chen Yan plays tricks and doesn't care about the house, the owner will be in big trouble.

Chen Yan was not such a scoundrel. He knew very well that he had offended the heavens and thus suffered that disaster. If he had not been hiding in that short-term rental house, the house would not have collapsed.

It was his own fault, so there was no reason for an innocent homeowner to suffer the consequences.

Chen Yan took out his mobile phone and transferred the three hundred thousand to Hu Shangke.

This matter ends here.

Hu Shangke brought up another matter: "Well, Chen Yan, let me tell you something strange."

"Um?"

"The big boss who owns the villa you rented sent someone to look for me! He said that I helped him rent out the villa and that I was very efficient. He admired me very much and offered me many houses to take care of!"

Hu Shangke's voice was filled with suppressed excitement. He laughed and said, "I'm really taking off now! I have more than a dozen high-quality properties in my hands, and I'm the sole agent. No one else can get involved! The big boss said that he only recognizes people, not stores! If I change companies, these properties will follow me!

Now our store manager is very polite to me, fearing that I will quit my job and run away, and he even raised my base salary.”

At this point, Hu Shangke sighed, his tone very sincere: "Brother, to be honest, I was able to have this opportunity because you asked me to rent that haunted house, so that I could meet a noble person!

I won’t say any more. When are you free these days? I have to treat you to a meal!”

After hearing this, Chen Yan knew that it was the work of Boss Fang Dahai.

Knowing that I am a licker of my classmates, so I try to please the licker of my classmates? And... maybe I also want to find out about my personality and preferences?

This can be considered as, if one person succeeds, the whole family will benefit.

However, although Hu Licking Dog has the attributes of a licking dog, he has a good character.

He didn't know that Boss Fang was trying to flatter him. He really thought that because he rented a haunted house, he was appreciated by the boss and was even thinking of treating him to a meal as a reward.

That's pretty much it.

Well, I'd better stop calling him a bootlicker in the future.

"The New Year is coming soon, and I've been busy lately. Let's wait until after the New Year for dinner." Chen Yan declined with a smile.

"Okay! I'm going back to my hometown to celebrate the New Year in a few days. I'll go back to Jinling after the New Year and have a drink with you."

·

Xiao Zhao was very efficient. The next day, he asked someone to get the set of anatomy textbooks and notes of the biology department, and asked someone to send them to Chen Yan's home by intra-city express.

The next morning, he even called Chen Yan.

"Brother, the address you gave me is a villa area... Holy shit, you live in a mansion?!"

Chen Yan was surprised: "Didn't I tell you the address?"

"When did you tell me?"

"Just before New Year's Day..."

Xiao Zhao then immediately said, "Oh, I lost my phone during those two days, and I bought a new phone later. When you sent me the address, it might have been during the period when I lost my phone. I later used a new phone, so I didn't receive it."

Well... Chen Yan was about to ask something else, but Xiao Zhao hurriedly said, "Brother, let's not talk anymore. The director asked the extras to get back to their roles!"

Seeing Chen Yan hang up the phone, Gu Qingyi, who was sitting in the living room watching TV, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately...it wasn't revealed.

Gu Xiaoniang can't let Chen Yan know that she used to work in an Internet cafe!

Otherwise, if Chen Yan knew how miserable he had been, he would understand that he could not do whatever he wanted in this world.

He was a noble man, but he almost starved to death on the street - and someone even robbed his family bucket.

I forced Chen Yan to agree to recognize me as his legal mother and to help me preside over a ghost marriage. The biggest bargaining chip is the promise, which can ensure that he can do whatever he wants!

If he knew that I was bragging...

Fortunately, fortunately, the ghost marriage won’t be long, so I should be able to get away with it.

After the ghost marriage is completed, you can just pat your butt and leave back to the realm!

·

Chen Yan received a local express delivery that afternoon: an old anatomy textbook and a set of notes mailed by a biology major from an agricultural university.

Chen Yan was overjoyed to get these things. He carried them into the practice room and brought out a laptop.

Looking at the textbooks, the laptop is connected to the Internet so that you can check the information at any time.

Start learning the deconstruction of various animals!

Bones, muscles...

That night, Chen Yan used transfiguration to transform himself into a sparrow in the yard.

Then I recalled the skeletal and muscle structure of sparrows in the anatomical data...

Finally, it flew!

Although the process was a bit tortuous: during the two test flights, although it flew over the wall of the villa, it crashed into a tree once and fell into the artificial lake of the community once...

But in the end, Chen Yan still learned how to fly like a bird!

Finally, Chen Yan flew back to the yard and landed in front of the villa door. He turned into a human form again and saw Gu Qingyi standing at the door, looking at him with his arms folded.

"Your transformation technique is really good. After you transformed, even my level can't see through your true form." Gu Qingyi sighed: "It really is worthy of being the innate magical power of the fox clan."

The following morning, Chu Keqing came to visit again.

This time she sent a box of medicinal materials, which were packed in small packages according to the prescriptions she had received before. In addition, she also thoughtfully provided a set of utensils and containers for boiling Chinese medicine.

"Senior!" Chu Keqing came to the door with a humble attitude: "I have prepared the medicine according to your prescription."

Chen Yan looked at this "Mr. Zi" and changed into her usual tight-fitting cheongsam outfit, looking both virtuous and mature.

"In addition, the money was transferred to your account yesterday. I wonder if you received it?"

Chen Yan nodded: "I received the money yesterday. You are so thoughtful."

Chen Yan did receive a payment message from the bank yesterday.

But then there was a side effect.

A huge sum of nearly 20 million yuan suddenly came into his account...The bank's account manager soon called Chen Yan.

After some warm greetings and flattery, he began to strongly recommend some financial products to Chen Yan.

He also said that he had some gifts to give to Chen Yan.

Chen Yan was a little impatient and made an excuse that he couldn't keep the money for too long and planned to use it to buy a house in the near future.

The bank manager immediately began to promote his bank's loans...

·

Chu Keqing didn't stay with Chen Yan for long. After sitting for a few minutes, she said goodbye and left.

Chen Yan then went into the kitchen and started to boil the medicine!

One small packet is the daily quantity. Chen Yan follows the instructions of his neighbor Lao Deng and boils three bowls of water into one bowl of water.

Then he looked at the bowl of black medicine soup and drank it while pinching his nose.

He had actually tried it once before yesterday... He boiled a packet of medicine he bought from a chain drugstore, then went to the yard and fed it to the old turtle Gui Geng.

Then Chen Yan observed for another day. Gui Geng was lying in the center of the flower bed, and there seemed to be nothing unusual.

Only then did Chen Yan feel relieved.

In less than half an hour, a bowl of Chinese medicine soup made from high-quality medicinal materials sent by Chu Keqing went into his stomach...

Chen Yan's expression suddenly changed!

With a command, he dodged and rushed upstairs, entered his bedroom, and then rushed into the bathroom...

Sitting on the toilet, Chen Yan's face was pale, his legs were trembling, and drops of cold sweat were dripping from his forehead!

My stomach is rumbling like a drum...

·

Chen Yan spent the entire morning sitting on the toilet and could hardly get up! !

"I'm so fucking..."

Mr. Chen, who was almost exhausted from diarrhea, leaned against the toilet tank and gritted his teeth.

wrong!!

That woman Chu Keqing has been so respectful to me, there is no way she would poison me!

That is... there is something wrong with that old man's prescription!!

·

In the villa next door, a certain unscrupulous old man standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window sighed, retracted his gaze, and blocked his remote hearing.

"This kid really doesn't know his limits.

I made this prescription for you because I thought that you could only get medicine from an ordinary pharmacy, and I took into account the medicinal properties of the ordinary medicinal materials sold in ordinary pharmacies.

Who the hell would have thought that you could find someone to send a bunch of high-quality, aged medicine... the effect of this medicine is several times stronger."

Lao Deng sighed slightly.

Fortunately... there are only some side effects in the first few days, which will gradually get better after a few days.

The efficacy of the medicine will not be affected.

Just as he was thinking about this, Lao Deng suddenly raised his eyebrows.

He was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window on the second floor, and just happened to see Chen Yan coming out of the house angrily and walking towards the front door of his yard!

but……

After walking just over ten steps, Chen Yan's face suddenly changed. He covered his stomach with both hands, turned around and rushed back to his home...
