outcast

A good night's sleep, Yan Qi hasn't slept so well for a long time—he's been under too much pressure lately, he looked at Qin Mo who was hugged tightly by his hands and feet after falling asleep, "Morning."

Qin Mo said, "You drool while sleeping and wet my clothes."

"..." Yan Qi wiped the corner of his mouth, "You are obviously wearing my clothes." He turned over and got up, "Get back quickly, I have to help find the owner." Yesterday I told my mother that I would send the cat back .

"Come here." Qin Mo grabbed Yan Qi's wrist and pulled him towards him, and then with a flash of blond hair, Qin Mo disappeared.Yan Qi's wrist felt cold, and a black snake as thick as a water pipe twisted its body and circled around his arm. It was cold and smooth, Yan Qi's heart almost jumped out, and he quickly shook his hand.

Qin Mo's voice said, "Don't move."

Yan Qi was taken aback, and said, "You turned into a snake?"

"En." The snake began to shrink, and finally turned into a small golden snake. It opened a pair of ruby-like eyes and looked at Yan Qi, and then wrapped it around Yan Qi's wrist like a bracelet.

Yan Qi carefully touched this lifelike new bracelet, the little snake quickly probed, Yan Qi's finger was touched by a bright red forked tongue, Yan Qi trembled, mentally built up for a while, Then he reached out and touched the little snake's head, it really looked like a beautifully crafted work of art.

The little snake raised its head and rubbed his fingers, "Are you afraid of snakes?"

"It's okay." Yan Qi moved his fingers, touched the cold golden scales of the little snake, and said with a smile, "You look very valuable."

Qin Mo said: "There is a type of crime among non-human races, which is human smuggling."

Yan Qi said, "It's the same among human beings."

"I know, but I always find it strange that there are so many people, and they look the same. I can't understand where there is value for collection."

"Because it's not for collection..." The topic became weird, and Yan Qi returned to the topic, "Why did you suddenly become a snake?"

"Convenience." The little snake quickly slipped onto Yan Qi's body along Yan Qi's sleeve.

Yan Qi got goosebumps all over his body, quickly held it down, pulled it out of his clothes, grabbed its tail, and hung it in the air, "What are you doing?"

Qin Mo said, "This way your parents won't find me."

The little golden snake whose tail was held by Yan Qi twisted its body and swung back to Yan Qi's hand, then along the back of his hand, crawled back to his wrist, disguised as a bracelet again.

"Oh...but you're not going back to Liufeng Forest? You must be busy, right?" Yan Qi asked.

"One of the reasons why the Dragon King must be solved is that if he is not here, I can do whatever I want. If he is not here, and I have not lived a free life, then what am I going to do so hard for?"

Yan Qi muttered, "How do I know..." Then his voice returned to normal, "Where are the other people on the side of the Dragon King? Didn't you say that there are a quarter of non-human races? No need to manage or restrain them?"

"What's none of my business? Someone always likes to meddle." Qin Mo felt that doing nothing by Yan Qi's side would not be boring, so why would he add to those crap things that would never be finished? "Besides, for most people, it doesn't matter whether the Dragon King is there or not. What they should do is what to do next." So far the news has been kept well under wraps.

Yan Qi thought of someone, "Where's Dudeng?"

"Why did you ask him?"

Yan Qi said: "He came to me with Ji Ning that day, but I think he and Ji Ning should have different positions? He is both an insider and a Dragon King's man. I think you will definitely not let him go. How about him?" gone?"

"Alive, in the eighth district." Qin Mo's voice could not hear any emotion, "Do you think I killed him?"

Yan Qi was taken aback, "I never thought about it that way."

"Very well, I don't like killing people."

Yan Qi said: "I haven't thought about it that way." Qin Mo remained silent.Yan Qi laughed and said, "Really, I just asked how he is. He is Du Yi's uncle, and Du Yi is very worried about him."

Qin Mo snorted, but still didn't speak.

"Yan Qi, are you up?" Qi Hui came over, and she knocked on Yan Qi's door lightly, a little more gently than usual.

"Get up." Yan Qi pulled his sleeve down to block the snake-shaped bracelet on his wrist, and the little golden snake simply snaked its way up his arm.Yan Qi hurriedly said: Qin Mo? , what are you doing again!

The little snake didn't crawl too far, it just wrapped around Yan Qi's upper arm, so he didn't have to worry about being seen on his wrist.Qin Mo said lazily: What?

Yan Qi said: It's all right...

Go to open the door, "Mom." Yan Qi hugged his mother's shoulders, and walked to the living room with her, "What's for breakfast this morning?"

"It's still morning? It's past ten o'clock, hurry up and brush your teeth." Qi Hui said, "I left some porridge for you. Your dad has something to go out, but he should be back for lunch at noon."

"Oh." Yan Qi went to the bathroom, "Where did he go?"

Qi Hui hesitated a little, "He didn't say that."

Yan Qi noticed the fucking strangeness, but he responded casually as if he hadn't noticed, "Oh." There was something weird in his heart, as if something was really changing, like a gust of wind blowing past his eyes. Wind, it has sound but is invisible, you open your hands in vain to keep it, but you can't keep it no matter how you keep it.

Qi Hui said again: "What do you want to eat at noon? I got up late today too, and I haven't had time to go grocery shopping. I'll go now."

Yan Qi hurriedly said, "I'll go with you, wait until I finish brushing my teeth and washing my face."

"No, I'll just go. You'll have breakfast as soon as you get well."

"Oh, good..." Yan Qi stood at the bathroom door watching Qi Hui close the door and leave.

Qin Mo said, "Your father should have gone to see Teacher Yang Chi."

"Ok?"

"Your dad couldn't understand the DNA identification form you brought back, so he asked someone who could understand to help read it."

Yan Qi said, "How do you know?"

"Just think about it." Qin Mo said, "You are still asking why I know that your father and Yang Chi are friends? You don't think I don't know anything about you, do you?"

Yan Qi asked back: "You won't always know that I'm not my parents' biological child, will you?"

Qin Mo said, "I don't know, but I guessed it."

"..."

Qin Mo said: "But you have always been so happy, I don't think there is any need to tell you."

Yan Qi said, "Does everyone in the world know about it?"

Qin Mo said, "I haven't done any investigation on this."

"..."

Yan Qi and Qi Hui made lunch together.Qi Hui said: "It feels like you have grown up without knowing it."

Yan Qi laughed and said, "No matter how old he is, he is still your son."

Qi Hui said, "That's right, I won't give it to anyone who asks for it."

"Don't worry, no one will come to ask for it." Yan Qi tasted the chicken nuggets in the pot, "It's delicious! Mom, your skill is better." Well, the heat is almost there, and he adjusted the flow of time quietly, Then remind his mother to get out the pot and put it on the plate.

"That's right, I'm better at cooking than your father!" Qi Hui said again, "I knew I would buy more, and I asked you to bring some to eat at school."

"Don't be so troublesome, it's the same if I've eaten enough at home..." Yan Qi put the food aside, Qin Mo rushed out from Yan Qi's sleeve like lightning, grabbed a large piece of chicken, swallowed it, and shrank again. Back into Yan Qi's sleeve.

Yan Qi hurriedly put down the plate, walked aside to avoid his mother, and pulled out the little golden snake from his sleeve. The slender little snake now has a big lump in its abdomen, "...Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"It's okay." The little golden snake twisted its body. Its body size doubled and its length tripled. "It's much better."

Yan Qi was speechless.

The snake became thicker and could no longer be hidden on Yan Qi's body, Yan Qi sent it back to his room, "Lie down here for a while."

Qi Hui called again from the kitchen: "Yan Qi, come and taste the meatballs."

"It's coming!" Yan Qi hurried back to the kitchen, took a bite of the meatball with his fucking hand, and said firmly, "It's delicious!"

Qi Hui patted him on the head, "My dear son, you are more talented as a gourmet than your father."

Of course, because he only said "delicious".Yan Qi smiled and said, "Because I'm like you..."

"Must be like me!..."

A little later, Yan Dingbo came back, together with Yang Chi, Yan Qi was startled, "Old Yang... Uncle Yang, hello."

Yang Chi nodded.

Yan Dingbo said with a smile: "I happened to meet him, so I asked him to come over for dinner." He exchanged a look with Qi Hui.

Qi Hui said: "Yang Chi, come in quickly, you came at the right time, the dishes have just been prepared."

Yang Chi smiled, "Well, then I won't be polite."

In Yan Qi's room, Qin Mo turned into a human and stood in front of the window. He saw a man who looked like Yang Cheng flash past the green belt at the corner downstairs. He transformed into a bird, flew out of the window, and landed in front of Yang Cheng. In human form, "Why are you here?"

After seeing that it was Qin Mo, Yang Cheng relaxed, "Why are you here? Oh, this is Yan Qi's family."

Qin Mo said: "Your brother went to Yan Qi's house, but you are here. It seems that you two had a fight?"

After the Dragon King disappeared, when Yang Chi was sorting out the list of the Dragon King, he accidentally discovered that the relationship between Yang Cheng and the Dragon King was not shallow. This discovery was actually inevitable. As long as he checked people related to the Dragon King, he would always be found. The younger brother is also one of them.

As for Yang Cheng, he always felt that this was not his fault. He only came into contact with the Dragon King after he joined the Mystic Creatures Division. That was because the Mysterious Creatures Division had a close relationship with the Dragon King. The contact was purely due to business, at least at first.

Yang Cheng said: "You and Yan Qi don't get along right? He only has me as a younger brother, and he will figure it out if he gets angry again. You are different." The relationship between relatives is stronger than that of lovers. One has a substantial blood connection, and the other It's just a vague relationship, the former is much more confident than the latter.

Qin Mo said indifferently: "If you want to find a sense of superiority from me, then you are looking for the wrong person." He didn't mean to show off, so he changed the topic after clicking, "How about Du Deng? Is there any movement?"

"I haven't heard of any movement. It's Professor Lu who makes me more worried. The presence of Lin Du makes people jump in fear."

"Oh?"

Yang Cheng said: "Lv Pingsheng seems to have disappeared recently, and there is no movement at all; Lin Duan is also quiet, which is abnormal and very disturbing."

"Perhaps he really disappeared."

The thirteenth district was flattened by the explosion, Qin Mo was sure that Professor Lu was there at the time, because he was originally in the underground cave with Qin Mo and He Li, and he left one step ahead of them, because Qin Mo was pulling Yan Qi, so he and He Li failed to retreat at the planned time.Although Lu Pingsheng retreated early, there was still not enough time. How did he escape from District [-] before the explosion?But it was true that his body could not be found afterwards, so he must be alive.

Yang Cheng said: "That kind of scourge, how could it be so easy to die, and if it is impossible to guarantee, what kind of plan is there?"

Qin Mo asked alertly: "Did you hear something?"

Yang Cheng said: "Someone said he was seen near the Garden of Everything, please tell Yan Qi to be careful."

Qin Mo frowned, and then silently shouted: Yan Qi!

Yan Qi who was upstairs was silent for two seconds and asked: What's the matter?

Qin Mo: I want to go back to Liufeng Forest.

Yan Qi: Good.

This was what Yan Qi had expected, but he didn't expect it to be so soon, because Qin Mo himself couldn't say no to leaving, so he was just talking.
