Chapter 399 Single Dogs and Strict Wife Control (two chapters in one)
“Huh...”
The electric wind continued to spit out heat waves, and Su Yue sat in front of the dressing table He raised his slender hands and fiddled with his silky hair.
It took her a moment to blow dry her wet hair.
After blow-drying her hair, Su Yue reached out and pulled off the bath towel around her body, feeling happy for a moment.
After a while, Su Yue, wearing a thin silk white suspender nightgown, walked out of the bedroom swaying.
After arriving in the living room, she was about to pick up her phone and contact Lin Li to play games together.
At this time, the phone rang first, and it was a video call request from her mother, Zheng Qiuyi.
“Ding dong.”
A finger as slender as a youngster touched the screen and connected to the video call.
A frozen-aged woman with a facial mask on her face, leaning on the bedside and wearing a white bathrobe appeared on the screen.
"Mom, what's the matter?" Su Yue asked her mother.
“If nothing happens, can’t I come to you?” Zheng Qiuyi said as she patted the mask gently with her fingers.
One thing comes after another. Su Yue looked at her mother who was applying a facial mask and said helplessly, "That's not what I meant."
Zheng Qiuyi smiled triumphantly when she saw her daughter defeated. He smiled and said, "Next Friday, your dad and I are going back. Do you have anything to buy? I'll bring it to you."
Su Yue thought about it carefully and realized that she didn't lack anything now, so she shook her head, "I don't have anything to buy."
"Forget it, asking is in vain. I'll be there these days Go shopping outside, it’s going to be autumn soon! I’ll buy you some clothes!” Zheng Qiuyi said.
"Mom, don't buy them for me. I can only wear the clothes you buy on daily basis, and I can't even wear them to school." Su Yue quickly refused.
What she said was not that the clothes Zheng Qiuyi bought for her were tacky and not suitable for her to wear.
With Zheng Qiuyi's taste, the clothes she bought were naturally not bad, mainly because the clothes she bought for Su Yue were not cheap.
As an ordinary teacher teaching in a school, it is really inappropriate to wear a piece of clothing that costs at least 10,000 yuan.
"Then just wear what you usually wear! When you go to school, wear the clothes you bought yourself." Zheng Qiuyi said indifferently.
"Okay! If you want to buy it, just buy it!" Su Yue knew that her mother had already decided, so she stopped trying to persuade her.
The mother and daughter chatted for a while. At this time, Su Yue suddenly asked, "Where is dad?"
Zheng Qiuyi saw her daughter asking about her husband's whereabouts, and said with a smile, " Your dad went out to meet an old friend.”
"Oh." Su Yue nodded when she heard this, but didn't ask in detail. After all, her father had many friends, and she didn't know them all.
"Okay, let's do this for now! Tomorrow, Monday, you have to go to work, take a rest early... By the way, when I go shopping, I will take a few photos before buying clothes and send them to You, if you don't reply, I will make my own decision."
"Yes." Su Yue nodded and hung up the phone with her mother.
After ending the call, she checked the time, then found Lin Li's chat window and sent a message to the other party.
Soon, there was a response from Lin Li, and then the two started a voice call, and they teamed up to play a game together.
.........
Several moths were flying around the street lamps. Occasionally, a moth would fall from the sky and fall into the grass nearby, fluttering a few times and making no sound.
The dim street lights illuminated a small area. On the benches on the roadside, two middle-aged men were sitting. One had a dignified appearance and elegant temperament, and the other had a rough appearance and wild temperament.
“Would you like a cigarette?”
“No, I have to go home later. If my wife smells the smell of cigarettes on me, she will nag me again. ”
"Tsk...Oh! It's terrible that the wife is strict."
"This is not a strict wife. Smoking is harmful to the body, and she is doing it for my own good."
"Okay, okay, okay. , you are right, you are not a strict wife..."
"Liu Shijie, in the past ten years, you have rarely returned to Blue Star. Even if you did come back, you would only stay for a few days and then return to the spirit world. This time you returned to Blue Star and stayed for so long. God, is something wrong?" Su Chen asked.
"Huh..." Liu Shijie took a long breath, a column of white smoke spurted out from his mouth, and then said to his old friend.
"Recruiting people."
"Recruiting people?"
"Well, this time I returned to Blue Star and stayed for so long, mainly because I wanted to recruit some people. After gathering the manpower, we can explore again. A dangerous place," Liu Shijie explained.
"With the current strength of your team, you actually need to increase the manpower. It seems that the dangerous area you are planning to explore this time is quite dangerous!" Su Chen said.
"Do you want to know? If you want to know, I can tell you the information about the dangerous place we are going to explore." Liu Shijie said with a smile.
Su Chen looked at the smile on his old friend's face and shook his head, "Forget it, I have already quit. There is no need to know too much about the relevant matters."
"..." Liu Shijie heard Yan fell silent, then he took a deep breath, and the cigarette in his mouth burned quickly.
"Huh..."
A long column of smoke spat out from Liu Shijie's mouth again, just listen to what he said.
"The Tomb of Heroes of Wenwen Township, what the ancients said is true... I think back when I met you, you often said the phrase 'life is endless, adventure is endless', Things have changed now!”
"..." Su Chen was silent for a while, and then said to his old friend with a smile, "In the words of today's young people, a single person cannot understand the happiness of a person with a wife and daughter."
After that, He couldn't help but think back to himself back then.
At that time, the high-spirited Su Chen always felt that venturing into the spiritual world and exploring unknown places was the most worthwhile thing for a man to do, until he met Zheng Qiuyi.
After having a daughter, he felt that venturing into the spiritual world and exploring unknown places was more important to him than guarding his wife and daughter.
"What's wrong with you... being single? Why are you so proud? I still think your wife is so strict and pitiful!" Liu Shijie said without anger.
Two friends who had not seen each other for many years sat on a bench by the roadside and laughed and cursed at each other. It was not until it was getting late that they said goodbye to each other. As for when they would see each other again, they couldn't tell.
“Click.”
The bedroom door opened, and Su Chen pushed the door open and saw his wife leaning on the bed with a facial mask on her face and a mobile phone in her hand. She smiled and said, "It's so late and you haven't slept yet!"
Zheng Qiuyi paused the video she was watching and raised her head. Looking at her husband who came back, "I'm waiting for you to come back! Liu Shijie hasn't contacted you for many years. Is there something wrong with you suddenly coming out this time?" Su Chen came to the bed and sat down, took out the mobile phone in his pocket and put it away. He went to the bedside table and said, "Nothing, just looking for me to catch up on old times."
"Oh." Zheng Qiuyi nodded, and then she suddenly put her head next to her husband's neck and sniffed.
"What are you doing!" Su Chen asked suspiciously when he saw his wife's behavior.
"It smells of cigarette smoke. Have you smoked?" Zheng Qiuyi frowned and said.
"No, it was Liu Shijie who smoked it. I sat next to him and chatted with him, so it was inevitable that I would be contaminated by some cigarette smoke." Su Chen explained.
"Then go and wash up! It smells terrible." Zheng Qiuyi said.
Knowing that his wife didn't like the smell of cigarettes, Su Chen immediately sat up, took her pajamas and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
Zheng Qiuyi listened to the sound of water flowing from the bathroom and recalled the scene when her husband brought Liu Shijie to meet her when she had a big belly and introduced his good friend to her.
"Liu Shijie is still adventuring in the spiritual world after so many years. I hope he will always be well."

Rongcheng.
In an urban village awaiting demolition, a figure was walking along the dim streets.
Because it is getting very late now, and at this time in the already sparsely populated urban village, there are almost no people on the streets.
"If Liu Menglong was not here, something might have happened as I suspected..." Li Ying whispered to herself, walking straight towards a remote corner of the urban village to be demolished.
The lights are brightly lit in the old bungalow, and the sound of the TV can be heard from time to time in the living room. If you listen carefully, you can know that the program playing on the TV is the midnight news.
“According to the information received by this station, in the early hours of last night, investigators from the Superpower Management Bureau saw the previously reported bird in the wilderness on the outskirts of the Eastern District, several kilometers away from the safe zone. , the alien beast that attacked the alien hunter team
After reconfirmation by investigators, the alien beast suspected of being a new species does indeed have a second-level peak cultivation level..."
On the sofa in the living room, Chen Xiaoyan, wearing cool pajamas, was lying on her side, thinking. She was worried about this while watching the midday news on TV.
In the afternoon, she talked to Wang Hao on the phone.
The other party would come to Rong tomorrow. City, when the time comes for someone like him with a high-level second-level cultivation to help, the investigation of the whereabouts of Liu Menglong, who has been missing and has no news, should be done soon
If you stay. If Menglong was still alive, then everything would be fine. On the contrary, as her partner who came to Rongcheng with Liu Menglong to perform the mission this time, the corresponding punishment would be unavoidable
"Hey... If I had known this would happen, I should have tried my best to dissuade him..."
"Now we can only wait for Wang Hao to come and see the results of his investigation..."
"Liu Menglong, don't let anything happen to you! Otherwise, I will suffer..."
Chen Xiaoyan, lying on the sofa, recalled the scene when the mysterious man came to find Liu Menglong, and her heart A flash of regret.
If she had objected at that time, Liu Menglong would not have been able to persist as his partner for this mission.
Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world. What happened has already happened. No matter how much you regret the wrong decision you made at that time, it is irreversible.
Near the window, a figure stood outside the wall, listening to the noises coming from the living room. Chen Xiaoyan's voice talking to herself also reached the ears of this figure.
When Chen Xiaoyan turned off the TV, turned off the lights, and returned to the bedroom to rest, Li Ying, who was hiding outside the wall and eavesdropping, also ended the eavesdropping.
A pale golden light flashed in his eyes, and his body slowly sank into the shadows under his feet and disappeared.
At the exit of the city village, under a leafy tree, a figure emerged from the shade.
After Li Ying, who had been sneaking for a long distance in the shadows, appeared, he had a smile on his face.
“Unexpectedly, I guessed it right. When I went to seek revenge on the traitor, Liu Menglong took action against the mission target.”
“Now his whereabouts are unknown and there is no news. , there is a high probability that something happened.”
“According to the information provided by the organization, Liu Menglong is among the members of the Black Lin Society who have a middle-level cultivation level. , his strength is considered top-notch. In one-on-one situations, practitioners of the same level cannot defeat him..."
"He went to attack the mission target this time, but found out his whereabouts. Unknown, no news, indirectly proves that the mission target has a second-level high-level cultivation level as I reported to my superiors before..."
Li Ying analyzed in her mind while walking outside the village in the city.
Although he was unable to witness it with his own eyes because he was seeking revenge against the traitor, but if such a result was reported to his superiors, then his mission this time could be considered completed.
"The information revealed by the woman just now mentioned Wang Hao, if it is not the same name.
Then he should be the Black Lin Society's nickname Blood Hand, with a second-level high-level cultivation That Wang Hao.”
"Since that Wang Hao will come to this city tomorrow to help the woman investigate the situation of Liu Menglong, who is missing and has no news, I will continue to observe in secret, collect more evidence, and then report to my superiors. ”
"Tsk...This time I used the people from Heilin Club to help me verify the true situation of the mission target. What a great move! I am really a genius."
Li Ying thought to himself, Hei Lin The people in Linshe were manipulated by him to help him complete the task. This feeling of playing with others as chess pieces gave him a great sense of satisfaction in his heart.

The next morning, a touch of fish belly white rose from the sky, and the golden sunlight cut through the night, quickly eliminating all the darkness that shrouded the earth.
The sunlight squeezed into the room through the gaps between the curtains, creating streaks of light on the floor.
As time goes by, the height of the rising sun gradually increases, and more and more creatures on the earth wake up.
"Chirping..."
The early bird catches the worm. After the sun rises, more and more birds wake up within a period of time.
They flap their wings and fly out from the leafy trees, flying in groups towards the suburbs in search of food, leaving waves of melodious calls in the sky.
In the dim room, Lin Li was lying on the bed and fast asleep. The sound of birdsong coming from the window was endless. Lin Li, who was disturbed by the noise, slowly opened his eyes.
"It's so noisy."
He lifted the quilt and got out of bed, went to the window and opened the curtains. He saw a bird standing on the outside of the air conditioner and chirped. He noticed that a human suddenly appeared in front of the window. He was immediately frightened and flew away.
"Disturbing people's dreams. If you dare to do this again next time, I won't let you escape as easily as today." Lin Li looked at the little bird that flew away and woke him up. Sparrow, said to himself.
