“Sir?” The old butler’s voice was like an evening bell, thick and low, but not harsh, and woke Qin Lang from his sleep.
Qin Lang responded, sat up from the bed, and habitually touched the bedside table. The butler reached out and handed the glasses on the counter to Qin Lang.
“What time is it?” After Qin Lang put on his glasses, he reached out and asked the butler to dress him.
“It’s nine o’clock, sir.” The butler’s movements were smooth and skilled, he had obviously served him for many years. He placed the ironed trousers in front of Qin Lang and stepped back a little.
Qin Lang paused while holding his trousers, his face changed slightly.
The butler lowered his head just right, so that he wouldn’t see Qin Lang’s expression. It was not difficult to see that this was his standard posture everyday.
“I—fuck!” Qin Lang called the system, “Twenty-five, where are my legs? Why can’t I feel their existence?”
System: “Calm down…it’s still there, just useless, that’s all.”
Qin Lang: “…” That’s all??
The system chewed on the snacks his family Zerozero brought back, “take a look at the world plot slowly, there are surprises.”
Qin Lang slowly received the original owner’s memory, then whispered without hesitation: “It’s so late…Uncle You, I remember there’s something occurring today, what is it?”
The butler’s head was still lowered, he did not look at Qin Lang but his posture was full of respect for Qin Lang: “Sir, I made an appointment with Dr. Zhou today, and the suit is ready. Do you want to try it on?”
Qin Lang bent down and put on his socks with difficulty for a moment, then chuckled lightly: “I almost forgot, tomorrow is my wedding day…”
Butler: “Yes. His Majesty has personally proposed the marriage for you.”
“Oh…” Qin Lang’s tone was indifferent, still without ups or downs, as if it was just a trivial matter, “Uncle You, what’s the name of the child I was to marry?”
The butler hesitated for two seconds and replied, “Mu Yin, sir.”
Qin Lang narrowed his eyes slightly and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, as if he was laughing at himself: “I remember that the one who General Mu chose for the engagement was named Mu Qing.”
The wise butler did not choose to continue the topic, he knew that his master needed no sympathy.
The room was quiet for a while. The butler heard Qin Lang’s movements and knew that Qin Lang was already dressed, so he came over and put Qin Lang in the wheelchair and said, “Today the kitchen has prepared sweet porridge for you, do you want to have some? Doctor Zhou will be arriving at half past nine.”
“Mm. You can arrange it. I’ll wash myself.” Qin Lang waved his hand and rolled his wheelchair into the bathroom.
The butler stood there for a while, watching Qin Lang enter the bathroom, and then left the room.
As soon as he entered the bathroom and closed the door, Qin Lang said to the system, “Twenty-five, I love and hate you now.”
System: “…”
Qin Lang: “You said, did you intentionally choose this world for me? The wheelchair ruthless boss, it’s the standard gong setting! Ah, I can finally counterattack!”
The system silently glanced at Qin Lang’s lower body, and then said, “I didn’t choose it, it was random. But as you can see, the world level is advancing.”
Qin Lang pinched his unfeeling legs, “Hey, I have muscles… as expected of a gong! Twenty-five, can my legs heal?”
The system pierced Qin Lang’s fantasy: “No. Anyway, you can’t get better yourself. You should know the reason, and you’re lucky enough to be able to breathe.”
“Companion beast…” Qin Lang touched his face and looked at himself on the special bathroom sink mirror modified for Qin Lang. The person in the mirror has sharp eyebrows and eyes. Due to physical reasons and recent emotions, it was still sharp but it looked a little gloomy. When that face is expressionless, it makes people instinctively fear. It’s not hard to imagine how imposing and threatening the original owner was when he was still so high-spirited.
This is a different world planet. The planet is divided into two parts, half of which are humans and the other half are beasts.
All the people on the planet have a chance to have their own companion beast when they are born. Not everyone has it, but those who have companion beasts are stronger than ordinary people – whether it is physical strength or mental power.
The monsters feed on humans, and the more their companion beast eats the wild beasts, the higher their rank will be. Humans can also improve their companion beasts abilities by acquiring the energy in the hearts of beasts.
Both sides were born enemies.
As for the original owner, his companion beast died, so he became disabled. Not only could his legs no longer walk, but his body was also much worse than before, and his eyesight even became worse.
He was once the proud eldest prince, a model and idol admired by thousands of people. But in the struggle for power, he was accidentally injured by his younger brother. He used the cruel potion to separate his companion beast then kill it.
He had no evidence to prove against his younger brother in front of his father, and his father won’t believe it. After all, he himself did not expect that his well-behaved younger brother, who had been with him since childhood, would have long regarded him as a thorn in his side.
However, one wave has not settled before another came. Before he could recover from the pain of losing his companion beast, he was told that he was not really the eldest prince, but an orphan who people don’t know where he came from.
A dramatic transformation, falling from heaven to the bottom of the mud.
The mighty God of War, the noble prince, all the halos were taken off, the sneering and mocking eyes of those around him, those sympathetic and regretful eyes. The original owner finally became abnormally silent.
His adoptive father, that is, his majesty the emperor, even knowing that he was not his own son, but his achievements and contributions to the country, and with the nation’s admiration, he still gave him a title after he was injured. On one hand, he showed his own people how benevolent he is. On the other hand, it can be considered to appease the original owner.
But these are only superficial. The power that should have been taken back was still taken back. He also transferred the most powerful and trusted subordinates around him. Although this is quite reasonable, the original owner is not reconciled. Especially when he saw the second prince who had pulled him into the mud posing in front of him, his hatred changed him beyond recognition.
His temperament began to be uncertain. If anyone mentioned crippled in front of him, he would definitely torture that person into a real crippled. If someone took a companion beast in front of him without permission, their leg would be broken. As a prince for more than 20 years, he naturally has his own personal guards, plus the title granted by the emperor, no one dared to offend him easily.
However, the Mu family, who he had an engagement with, was obviously not afraid of him. After all, he was just a crippled person with a blank title but no strength now.
If it was cancelled directly, it would be a little too direct. So the Mu family didn’t cancel the marriage contract, they just changed the person. They replaced their family’s most important eldest son, Mu Qing, with an illegitimate son of unknown origin. The emperor turned a blind eye to this. Now he is no longer a prince, but a commoner who enjoys the grace of the imperial family. It is a great honor for his majesty to find a marriage for him in person. Of course, he should recognize his position and should no longer have any illusions.
The Mu family’s real marriage should only be the imperial family heir.
This stage marriage is not destined to be good.
Mu Yin, who is about to marry Qin Lang, is also one of the protagonists in the original story. Why is he one of them? It’s not that there is a vice CP, but because this story is a yellow book written about how two little Shou slaps each other.
The other protagonist Shou is the real eldest prince. The two met at the Imperial Academy. When he learned of Mu Yin’s tragic experience in the original owner’s hand, the eldest prince was determined to rescue him.
As for the original owner, the perverted villain who abused the protagonist Shou, he felt that since he lost his companion beast then he would make everyone lose their companion beast, so he secretly researched the separation agent. The perverted villain, who wants everyone to suffer together, in the end, was honored to receive his lunch box from the two protagonists.
After the original owner was led out by the dog, the two little Shou joined forces to pull the second prince off the horse and lived a very shameful life. Any fancy props are too low-grade for them, so the two often summon companion beast to play. Human and beasts 3P together, which is simply too dirty.
As for why it’s 3 and not 4, it’s because Mu Yin doesn’t have a companion beast. He’s not from this world. He’s like Qin Lang, who came from another world. No, to be more accurate, he is not a human, he is a demon. A little fox spirit that spans time and space. Time travel consumed most of his energy, so when he first arrived in this world, he was powerless to resist in front of the original owner.
In short, Qin Lang, who had read the entire little yellow book, just wanted to light a candle for the original owner.
The eldest prince fought with the original owner, not only did he took his throne, but also kidnapped his wife. In the end, he will still die at his hands. It’s just sad.
“Tong, who is my target character?” Qin Lang began to admire his handsome face full of pressure after washing up. Come on, follow me in silent recitation, our goal is to counterattack! Counterattack!
The system calmly ignored his host’s voice: “Mu Yin, the favorability is 0. He’ll marry you tomorrow, so it’s quite easy. As for this world extra mission, ruin Yuan Qi.”
“Yuan Qi? The black lotus second prince?” Qin Lang touched his chin, “Yes, if it weren’t for that younger brother, he would still have a companion beast. He could go to the army even if he wasn’t a prince anymore, and he can gain glory in the capital. The original owner was a proud person, now he has suddenly become useless, hatred isn’t that weird.”
The system made two ‘hm hm’ sounds, and heard the host silently and excitedly chanting counterattack in his mind. The system didn’t want to pierce his host’s enthusiasm, so he ate potato chips expressionlessly and didn’t respond.
Oh, do you think you can attack if you take a gong character? When did his host become so naive? Oh yes, love make people mentally retarded! That’s right, it’s the truth. He wants to give a thumbs up.
The original owner is a man who likes to eat sweets, but he used to think that eating sweets would damage his image of being aloof and decisive, so he always restrained it. After coming out of the palace, he was immersed in misery every day, so he became a little addicted to sweets.
A bowl of sweet porridge, Qin Lang could not eat half of it. He put down the spoon, took the napkin on the table and wiped the corner of his mouth gracefully.
The butler looked at the porridge that was only half gone, and said worriedly, “Sir, do you want me to prepare another breakfast for you?”
Qin Lang waved his hand, “No need. There’s no need to prepare sweet porridge tomorrow…”
The old butler’s mouth twitched, swallowing his original words and replacing them with a respectful sentence: “Yes, sir.”
Qin Lang looked at him, and he smiled: “After all, from tomorrow onwards, you should also ask madam what he wants for breakfast.”
The butler also smiled and breathed a sigh of relief, “Yes, you are right.”
Although the butler didn’t say it, Qin Lang was sure that he just thought he was dissatisfied with the chef’s craftsmanship and wanted to give the chef a small punishment, such as breaking his hand.
Qin Lang’s thin lips curled into a small smile. He supported his chin on the wheelchair with one hand, and looked up to meet the butler’s eyes: “Why, does uncle You think I’m so scary now?”
He was obviously looking up, but it clearly gave him a condescending feeling.
The butler lowered his head, but there was no expected defense or rebuttal.
Qin Lang snorted softly and turned the wheelchair. Just as he was about to push him into the yard, the butler skillfully held the handle of the wheelchair and brought him to the yard smoothly.
The servant quickly prepared hot tea and snacks for Qin Lang, but was stopped by Qin Lang when they were about to leave.
“Prepare a cup for Doctor Zhou too, he should be there soon.”
The smell of hot tea, the blooming white roses in the garden, and the warm but not scorching sun in late spring, everything is very comfortable.
“Uncle You, I figured it out. After the wedding, arrange for me to work in Yi country.” Qin Lang took a sip of the tea. The fresh tea taste that was slightly bitter finally diluted the long-lasting sweetness in his mouth.
The housekeeper looked at Qin Lang with some joy.
“Those people want to see me decadent and I also don’t like them. Snow is gone, but I’m still alive.” Qin Lang looked at the flower bud, which had not yet fully bloomed in the flower group, and suddenly changed the topic, “By the way, uncle You, show me the information about my future wife. I’m afraid I won’t recognize him when I see him tomorrow. Wouldn’t I be a joke in other people’s mouths again?”
The butler looked at Qin Lang’s face again and again, and after confirming that there was no gloom on his face, he opened his terminal and typed in Mu Yin’s name and said with a smile, “You can open it if you want. The marshal will be happy for you when he finds out.”
The carefreeness on Qin Lang’s face suddenly froze, his smile was lost, and the cup in his hand was squeezed tightly: “Unfortunately, he is no longer here.”
The butler bowed slightly, realizing that he had said something wrong. Perhaps Qin Lang’s gentle smile was too easy for people to relax their guard.
Qin Lang, formerly known as Yuan Lang. Qin was the surname of the marshal he admired the most. That marshal was also Qin Lang’s teacher. He watched him grow up from a young age, taught him how to use his companion beasts to fight, took him on the battlefield to resist beasts, and taught him to lead the army.
It can be said that the person Qin Lang trusted the most was this marshal. So after being abandoned by the imperial family, he was regarded as the adopted son by the marshal’s wife. There was no Yuan Lang, only Qin Lang since then.
Qin Lang quickly put away the ruthlessness in his eyes, and showed a vague smile: “Sooner or later, I will make them all pay.”
The silent audience system crazily stuffed himself with potato chips. His host, who always entered the play very quickly, must have graduated from the Drama Academy.
