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

In the living room of the Cheng family, Cheng Shuhao, the head of the Cheng family, took Cheng Ji aside to ask about his well-being.

"My dear son, you have suffered a lot along the way. I wish your elder brother was as obedient as you. But he refused to listen to our advice and joined the army. Now there is no news from him and we don't even know whether he is dead or alive. Alas!" Father Cheng sighed heavily when he thought of his eldest son who acted on his own.

Cheng Ji looked at this face that was exactly the same as his father in his previous life. His thoughts were in a trance. He was stunned for a long time before he spoke to comfort him: "Father, the country is in crisis. What you are doing is to bring honor to our family. It is not a joke. Besides, Ji'er believes that good things will happen to you. Don't worry too much or you will get hurt."

Father Cheng looked at his youngest son whom he had not seen for many years. Now he had a tall figure, a handsome face, and picturesque eyes and eyebrows. He couldn't help but feel a little pity for him. He gave the servants careful instructions for a long time before letting Cheng Ji go to rest.

After Cheng Ji returned to the room, he gently closed the door, squatted down and tapped the ground a few times, muttering, "Why don't you come out?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a dark shadow crawled out from the ground and leaned in front of Cheng Ji.

Cheng Ji asked, "Who is this person? Who is he?"

The ghost replied: "I am an ordinary citizen who was captured by the Japanese to build a mine road. I am a local of Changsha."

Cheng Ji frowned: "The mine is quite far from here, why are you here?"

"I came back with the eldest young master of the Cheng family half a year ago and have been here ever since."

Cheng Ji hesitated for a moment, then continued to ask, "Are you saying that the young master went to the mine half a year ago?"

The ghost nodded blankly: "Yes, I saw him coming out from behind a stone tablet near the mine. I thought it was a bit strange so I followed him all the way back, but something in the Cheng family blocked me, so I couldn't get in. I had to wander around here. I never thought that you would call me out today."

Cheng Ji raised his hand, rubbed his brow with his index finger, and spoke again: "Then do you know the current situation of Er Yuehong, one of the top three of the Nine Sects?"

Ghost: "I heard a little bit. For some reason, Second Master's wife suddenly became bedridden a while ago. Second Master has consulted many doctors but none of them can help."

"Got it." Cheng Ji turned around, and the ghost behind him slowly dissipated.

Cheng Ji frowned and thought.

What was my brother doing in the mine half a year ago? Didn't he join the army two years ago? Judging from the situation, the military should not know about Japan's experiments yet.

Cheng Ji thought for a moment and decided to go to Hong Mansion tomorrow to check the situation.

After thinking about it, I turned off the lights and stayed awake all night.

The next day, Cheng Ji found an excuse to talk to his father and left.

"Xiao Qi, sign in."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qi immediately straightened his attitude and entered work mode: "Sign in successfully. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the inheritance of the Eight Wonders Feng Hou Qi Men. It will be issued immediately."

After Xiao Qi finished speaking, all the information about Fenghou Qimen flooded into Cheng Ji's mind, and his thoughts suddenly became much clearer as if he had suddenly realized something.

These eight unique skills that were coveted by many people in the world of extraordinary people were delivered into his hands. Even after a night of digestion, Cheng Ji still had an unrealistic feeling of treading on cotton.

After digesting the Fenghou Qimen that was forced into his brain, Cheng Ji raised his head and looked in the direction of the Hong Mansion.

I hope what he got can help them.

Now he had entered their world alone.

The general, the actor, and the immortal.

Yama, the prodigal son, the smiling Buddha.

Beauty, arithmetic, and chess skills.

There is also the black blind man who clearly has nothing to do with the matter, but still smiles into the chess game.

And the god-like Zhang Qiling who, despite being betrayed, could not give up his family mission and the people of the world.

He wanted not only to see these people's stories with his own eyes.

Still want to.

To soothe the regrets of each of them.

While thinking, the gate of Hong Mansion appeared before his eyes.

The bluestone road and the mansion are not overly decorated, but the strokes of the plaque are vigorous and flowing, adding respect to the aristocratic family to the entire Red Mansion.

Cheng Ji stood in front of the door of the Hong Mansion and knocked three times. The door opened from the inside. The servant of the Hong Mansion poked his head out to look at the elegant and handsome young man with bright and spirited eyes, and asked, "Excuse me, who are you looking for?"

Cheng Ji leaned forward slightly, opened his lips and said, "Yesterday, I happened to hear that Second Master's wife suddenly became seriously ill, and Second Master spared no expense to seek medical treatment. I am not talented, but I know a thing or two. I wonder if I can inform Second Master that Cheng Ji wants to see you."

The servant's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he quickly responded: "Please come in." Then he led him into the reception room of the mansion.

The servant pushed open the door of the reception room, led Cheng Ji to sit down, and said to Cheng Ji with a smile: "Please wait here for a moment, I will go and inform the Second Master."

Cheng Ji nodded in response.

Not long after, Er Yuehong hurried over.

Cheng Ji looked at the owner of the Hong Mansion who walked in. Although Er Yuehong did not look panicked, the hurried steps of his feet betrayed his inner uneasiness.

It seems that the original novel is not deceiving me. Er Yuehong really has deep feelings for the girl, which is rare in today's chaotic world.

Cheng Ji couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

While Cheng Ji was looking at Er Yuehong, Er Yuehong was also looking at the young man in front of him.

He looks like an adult, but his aura is no less than that of others. He has a restrained temperament, and the strands of hair in front of his eyebrows block his eyes, making him even more mysterious.

Er Yuehong did not look down on the young man because of his age. He spoke carefully, "Young Master, can you really cure my wife? If you really have a way, Er Yuehong will reward you handsomely."

Cheng Ji stood up, his lips curled up slightly, and responded politely: "Second Master, you are too kind. Cheng Ji only knows a little bit about unconventional things, so I dare not make a rash conclusion. Can you let Cheng Ji take a look at Madam first?"

After hearing this, Er Yuehong turned sideways and led Cheng Ji towards the inner room.

The room was filled with the strong aroma of Chinese medicine. When Cheng Ji and the other person walked from the door to the bed, the beauty leaning on the bed coughed several times. The coughs were suppressed. Er Yuehong frowned and said, "Girl, how are you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

The girl raised her head and smiled at Er Yuehong: "It's okay, brother, this just sounds serious."

After saying that, the girl looked at Cheng Ji who came in with her husband and nodded gently as a greeting.

Er Yuehong raised his hand and bowed to Cheng Ji, and asked, "I wonder if Mr. Cheng has any way to cure my wife's illness?"

Cheng Ji responded and walked forward, placing his hand lightly on the girl's slender pale wrist.

Cheng Ji inherited the art of trickery and was able to see at a glance the extremely poisonous substance hidden in the girl's body. It was not corpse poison but was similar to it. It had been dragging on for so long that it had already penetrated deep into her internal organs.

Although he had a way to remove the poison from her body, he had only inherited it now. He did not have a powerful and handy spiritual weapon like Chen Qing, so he could not cure the girl's illness both symptomatically and fundamentally.

However, the girl's current physical condition does not allow him to wait for the system to draw a solution suitable for the girl. Cheng Ji knows that it is a difficult problem but there is no other way. Instead of waiting for fate, he might as well use the worst plan to solve the urgent problem.

After thinking for a while, Cheng Ji sighed and turned to Er Yuehong who was waiting anxiously at the side, "Don't worry, Second Master. Cheng Ji has a way to cure Madam's poison. Although the poison can be cured, Madam's body has been corroded by the poison for many days and months, and she is still a little weak. Please take good care of Madam's body after the poison is cured, and don't let Madam touch the things in the soil again."

Er Yuehong was shocked when he heard this: "You mean the girl is poisoned? Is it related to the things in the bucket? But my Hong family has not been doing this kind of business for a long time..." Er Yuehong paused, and suddenly remembered something. When he spoke again, his tone was a little regretful, "You mean, the girl touched those things and got poisoned and got sick? I know, it was my negligence, sorry Madam."

The girl found out the reason for her illness. She looked up at Er Yuehong's gloomy and regretful face and said softly, "Brother, it's all my fault for not paying attention. It's not your fault, nor Chenpi's."

Er Yuehong took a step back and knelt in front of Cheng Ji: "Er Yuehong is willing to work like a cow or a horse for you, sir. I will give you all the wealth of my Hong family. Please save my wife, sir!"

Cheng Ji quickly helped Er Yuehong up. Seeing Er Yuehong putting aside his dignity and making a promise to his wife, and willing to give his all, Cheng Ji lowered his eyes to hide his emotions, and quickly said, "Second Master, you are too kind. Cheng Ji is very lucky to have met you today. How can I bear your kneeling? Go find a doctor for a nourishing prescription and boil some medicine. I will detoxify my wife right away."

Looking at Er Yuehong's hurriedly departing back, Cheng Ji's eyes revealed an unconcealable complexity. He had never experienced such deep affection in his two lifetimes. The feeling of being loved by someone seemed really enviable.

He... also wants to be protected, so he doesn't have to walk so hard...

Xiao Qi whispered in Cheng Ji's mind: "The host is so kind, he will definitely meet someone who is willing to protect the host, Xiao Qi promises!"

Cheng Ji curled his lips and chuckled, shaking his head, and replied to Xiao Qi in his heart: "Well, maybe."

Thinking of the important matter, Cheng Ji squatted down and looked at the girl lying on the bed: "Madam, just close your eyes and don't think too much. Just lie down for a while."

After getting the response from the girl, Cheng Ji quickly bit his finger, and used the air as paper and blood as ink to draw a series of difficult-to-understand talismans smoothly and blood-stained.

As the runes were completed bit by bit, Cheng Ji's face became paler and paler. Blocking out Xiao Qi's worried mutterings in his mind, Cheng Ji suppressed the fishy and sweet taste rising in his throat and tremblingly put down the last stroke.

Cheng Ji used up his last bit of strength to inject the rune into the girl's body. The inky poison was drawn out from between the girl's eyebrows and absorbed into his own body. After completing this last step, Cheng Ji could no longer hold on and spat out a mouthful of blood. Amid the girl's anxious calls, his consciousness fell into darkness.
