CH 94

The bedroom door opened, and the housekeeper who was standing outside the door stepped forward and said to Qin Lang, “Sir, it has been arranged according to your instructions.”

“Mm.” Qin Lang nodded and squeezed the youth’s fair hand, “What do you want to eat?”

The youth asked hesitantly, “I want to eat chicken, is that okay?”

Qin Lang looked at the butler.

The butler bowed to the two of them: “I’ll arrange for someone to prepare it for the madam alone.”

Qin Lang nodded: “Mm, bring the suit to madam too.”

After the butler left, the youth repeated for the third time, “I’m not Mu Yin.”

Qin Lang took him back to the bedroom and closed the door before saying, “Then who are you?”

He answered, “My name is Yin Xue.”

Seeing his serious expression, it didn’t look like he was trying to escape from the marriage, so Qin Lang became a little more serious: “What evidence do you have to prove that you’re not him?”

“I…” The young man pursed his lips, he met that someone finally listened to him but he didn’t know how to talk now. Could he casually say something like he came from another world to someone who he had just met in a stick of incense? People here can summon monsters at will. If someone finds out that he is an outsider, will he be killed?

“Hm?” Qin Lang waited for him to continue.

“Anyway, as soon as I arrived in this world, those people said that I was Mu Yin, the illegitimate son of General Mu.” The young man explained dryly, “Anyway, my parents have been dead for a long time, so he is not my father.”

“Once you arrive in this world?” Qin Lang read Mu Yin’s profile again, “You were in the slum before?”

The youth opened his mouth, not knowing how to explain.

Qin Lang continued to look down again: “Your adoptive parents died, so you have been working temporarily in a restaurant?”

“…”

Qin Lang shook his head helplessly, as if he was looking at a confused child who just learned that his adoptive parents were not his own, but that he was the son of the general and he still refused to believe it.

“…”

Qin Lang: “So you used to be called Yin Xue? You don’t like the name Mu Yin? Then I’ll call you Xiao Yin in the future?”

The youth was silent for a while, and then said dully, “My master and others all call me Xue.”

“Xue…” A flash of pain appeared in Qin Lang’s eyes, but he quickly covered it up. Although his tone was still gentle, it was a lot milder than before, “My former companion beast was also called Xue. I’m afraid I can’t call you that, it’s not right.”

The youth blinked. He noticed the change in the man’s mood. After a quiet response, he asked again, “…You guys, do you all have that kind of…beast?”

He originally wanted to say demon, but people in this world don’t seem to call them that.

Qin Lang looked at him carefully and determined that he was not laughing at him but really didn’t know it before, so he answered, “I had it before, but it died.”

“Oh…” The youth looked at him puzzled, “Isn’t it better to find another one after death? Why are you so sad?”

The smile on Qin Lang’s face faded, and he glanced at him coldly.

Although the teenager realized that he might have said the wrong thing, he was still puzzled. After all, shouldn’t that kind of monster be captured by humans and then domesticated or even refined into spiritual tools like spirit Gu? It is precisely because he has seen that humans here can summon demons at will that the young man has been using his remaining weak spiritual energy to maintain his human form. He is afraid that he will be caught by these people after he reveals his true form, and he will become one of those demons who people can call out at will without any freedom.

At this time, the butler knocked on the door, Qin Lang said “come in”, and then turned his wheelchair. He no longer looked at the youth, as if he had finally exhausted his patience.

Qin Lang turned his back to the young man, and instructed in an unwavering tone: “When madam has finished his meal, dress him up and serve him, then bring him to the hall before his majesty leaves. In order to prevent madam from getting lost again, send a few more guards.”

“Okay, sir.” The butler bowed his head to Qin Lang and watched Qin Lang leave the room. Then he stood by the door, guarding the new madam who made his master unhappy.

Seeing Qin Lang indifferently turn around and walk away, a slight sadness flooded into the young man’s heart. He pursed his lips and looked at the extra tall men at the door, knowing that he might not be able to escape again.

His nose twitched as he smelled the food aroma. Anyway, he couldn’t run away, so he might as well be full. He sat down obediently and ate delicious roast chicken, while frequently looking at the butler who was standing not far from him and had not changed his posture at all.

The butler noticed his gaze, “Does madam need anything?”

The youth opened his mouth and tried to explain that he was not Mu Yin, but he felt strange in retrospect. How can someone be exactly like him? Even the hair his naughty junior brother cut while he was sleeping was the same as Mu Yin’s, and he was in Mu’s house as soon as he came. This body is indeed his.

He had heard from his master before that the powerful self-cultivation world, those who are capable of cultivating in the world, have discovered there is a big and small world of themselves. The “I” of the big world and the small world exist at the same time. One party might be doing one thing while the other party may be doing another thing. The same “I”, could it be that he really did come to the alternative world? And the him in the alternative has gone to the other world, maybe another small world, or to him in the big world.

Then, he is actually Mu Yin?

The butler kept observing the new madam changeable expression. After waiting for a long time, he heard the new madam suddenly say, “So I’m really Mu Yin…”

Butler: “…” The new madam. He’s afraid he is a fool, right? No wonder Sir was so angry just now.

Finally figured out his identity, Mu Yin took a bite of the chicken leg, and suddenly remembered what the man said just now – “But from today, I will be your husband”, husband…

In the past, he practiced diligently and strengthened his mind to resist the thunder tribulation, and he was still young so he hadn’t considered the issue of a daoist companion.

But… Mu Yin recalled the appearance of the man just now, if that is his destined daoist companion, it doesn’t seem to be very bad.

However, it seems he just pissed him off.

Thinking of this, Mu Yin looked at the butler again, and asked hesitantly, “Uncle, I seem to have made your master angry just now, do you know why he is angry?”

The butler looked at him speechlessly, thinking he was probably angry with him for being a fool. Not only was he a fool, but he also dared to run away from the marriage on the wedding day. Who wouldn’t be angry about this?

However, the butler still said politely, “You think too much. Sir is not angry.”

Mu Yin put down the chicken legs and looked at the butler, a little unhappy: “Old man, you lied to me, you still think I’m a fool.”

Butler: “…” Tell me little madam, how did you see my true thoughts under my expressionless face? Do you have mind reading skills? Ah?

Mu Yin blinked, he could see from the butler’s calm eyes, and realized that he should hide his clumsiness, so he said, “I told him that if that beast of his dies, he should just catch another one, then he ignored me.”

The butler frowned and gave him a deep look. He was confirming whether he was really stupid, or whether he was deliberately mocking his master. But when he looked at the young man’s clear and blank eyes, he felt that he was not pretending on purpose, but more like he really didn’t know anything.

He asked tentatively, “Don’t you know about companion beasts?”

Mu Yin shook his head honestly, “I haven’t seen it before.”

Before? The housekeeper thought about the information that Mu Yin had been living in a slum. He doesn’t know what kind of poor and ignorant place that is, even the companion beast is not known. He took another look at the chicken that had only half of it left, and his eyes on Mu Yin suddenly changed.

Poor child, he couldn’t get enough to eat before, right?

Mu Yin ignored the butler’s slightly sympathetic gaze and continued to eat the remaining half, waiting for the butler to explain to him. After all, under the current situation, it might be impossible for him to go back. Since he has to live here, he has to understand what kind of world this is.

“Companion beasts are born with a person, not as you said, they can find another one if it is gone. It belongs to the master’s body and soul. They are the master’s most loyal companions. If they are killed, the master’s body and soul will die with them in most cases, only a lucky few survive, but even if they do, their body is damaged beyond repair.”

Mu Yin was stunned and said: “Oh… so that was it.”

The butler persuades him with that sympathetic gaze for a poor child: “So please don’t say those things like before in front of Sir in the future. Sir will be sad.”

Mu Yin nodded, “I see. I will apologize to him.”

The child can be taught, the little madam seems to be quite simple. It’s better to be simple, without so much thought, his master will like it.

As an old man who had watched him grow up since childhood, the butler sincerely hoped that Qin Lang would be happy again. And what can make a person quickly find a light from the dark abyss? Of course it is love! Come on, little madam, use your love to bring Sir happiness again!

Mu Yin: “…” Uncle, does your master know that there are so many dramas in your heart?

The same set of suits that make Qin Lang look like a gentle young master, make Mu Yin look like a cold arrogant prince.

Qin Lang looked at Mu Yin, who was not used to the many eyes, so his expression was not very natural as he walked towards him. Alarm bell rang in his mind: “System system, why did I suddenly have a sense of crisis like being attacked by next year? That’s not right. The conversation I had with him before and my character setup were obviously full of gong aura, ah.”

The system answers it vaguely: “Oh, that’s probably your imagination.” It wasn’t known if this ‘imagination’ means Qin Lang feels that he will be attacked by the new year, ​​or Qin Lang firmly believes that he can counterattack.

Qin Lang pondered for a moment: “Tong, I think your words seem to have a trap.”

System: “…Oh, that’s probably your imagination.”

Qin Lang: “…” he felt like this sentence has numerous ways to interrupt it. Poisonous.

Both grooms had arrived, so the wedding, although late, took place. The Mu family knew that this young master who was picked up from the slum did not play cards according to common sense at all, so they had always been on high vigilance to prevent this ancestor from acting as a demon in front of his majesty.

However, Mu Yin cooperated very well this time, quietly obeying all arrangements, and no longer seemed to want to escape. The Mu family was not used to his obedience.

Sure enough, when the two sides recited the oath to exchange the rings, Mu Yin did not follow the oath, but instead said sorry to Qin Lang.

The faces of the Mu family members were blue and white, it was over. The marriage contract was made by them with Qin Lang before. His majesty agreed with the marriage after knowing it at the time, but now, it is a loss for them to change the person. If he rejects the marriage in person, wouldn’t it be a slap Qin Lang’s face? His majesty will definitely uphold justice for Qin Lang. If he deals with Mu Yin alone, it’s fine, but if he connects with their entire Mu family, isn’t that the end?

The guests were in an uproar, but they all watched the next development one by one.

Qin Lang did not stop holding the ring and put it on Mu Yin, and Mu Yin also let Qin Lang put it on him and did not withdraw his hand. Huh? What about the rejection scene? Why is it different from what they think?

“I’m sorry, I didn’t know it was so important to you. I’m sorry for making you sad.” The young man apologized earnestly, his eyes locked on Qin Lang.

Qin Lang put the ring on him, and admired the appearance of the young man’s slender and fair hands with the ring, then raised his head to meet Mu Yin’s gaze. The young man’s eyes were so sincere, as if he would continue to feel guilty if he didn’t say he forgive him, which is unbearable.

So Qin Lang smiled softly and looked at him through the lens, “It’s okay, I forgive you. But in the future, there won’t be such a thing anymore. Do you understand?”

Mu Yin nodded obediently: “Mm.”

The young lady and little shou among the guests bit the handkerchiefs. The duke is so gentle. Even if he makes a mistake, he can be forgiven. The last question is especially indulgent. They want such a husband too. Ying ying ying….

Mu Yin looked at the ring on his hand. The material the ring was made of was different from his original world, but it was very beautiful and he liked it.

“It’s your turn to put the ring on for me, Xiao Yin.” Qin Lang reminded him softly.

“Oh.” Mu Yin also followed Qin Lang’s action before. Holding the ring in the box handed over by the attendant, he half squatted down and held Qin Lang’s hand to put it in the same position for him. He also liked Qin Lang and admired him. Then he suddenly looked at Qin Lang blushing and asked, “…Is this our token of love?”

Aw, blushing little fox! His husband is so cute. Oh no, no, wife, is his wife.

Qin Lang wanted to rub the little fox fiercely in his heart, but his face was gentle like a gentleman, “It’s not a token of love. The ring finger is the closest to one heart, so the wedding ring is used to bind our hearts to each other and encircle each other for a lifetime.”

Fresh love words for you, little fox.

The innocent little fox had probably never heard such love words, soon his small face turned red.

In this world, weddings are where two people say their vows and exchange rings. It’s just a formality. When others heard Qin Lang’s words, they realized that exchanging rings has such meaning. A group of young ladies started babbling even more. The Duke is so romantic, it must be so nice to be able to marry him.

Mu Yin was still blushing and half squatted in front of Qin Lang. After listening to Qin Lang’s words, his hand that was holding Qin Lang loosen as if it was scalded, his eyes looking elsewhere then he whispered: “Then…then I will give you a token of love, okay?”

[Ding, Mu Yin – Favorability +10, current favorability is 20.]
