Chapter 26: He is the God of Wealth.

"Zhou Zhou, how come you're so easily pleased!" Cheng JinXue

fumed internally, gnashing his teeth. Verbally however, he said

sincerely and profoundly: "You're too nice, that's why you get

bullied!"

Zhuang Zhou hugged the energy stones that Wen XiaoYun gifted

him and said quietly: "I'm not that easy to coax."

Cheng JinXue nagged: "Boss lied to you!"

Zhuang Zhou said: "But he also did it for my own good."

Cheng JinXue: "How is lying good for you?"

Zhuang Zhou didn't say anything.

That day, he only threw down a "You lied to me" and then left.

Then he started ignoring Wen XiaoYun.

Therefore, Cheng JinXue only knew that Wen XiaoYun had lied to

him, but he didn't know what the other lied about.

Cheng JinXue is a very tactful one. Zhuang Zhou stopped talking,

Wen XiaoYun also didn't mention anything about it, thus Cheng

JinXue didn't ask persistently about what happened.

He was just a bit gloomy. Finally, he managed to see Boss get the

short end of the stick, yet unexpectedly, Zhou Zhou had forgiven

him so quietly.

According to Cheng JinXue’s view of romance, when couples

fought or had cold battles, it always lasted a few days. Then the

husband would have to coax and please the other with a pleasant

tone and cordial mood, doing whatever he was told.

If he could see Boss crawling on his knees and begging for

forgiveness, how delightful that would be?!

He definitely would have recorded it!

Yet?

He definitely placed too high expectations on Zhuang Zhou!

Cheng JinXue said profoundly: "Zhou Zhou, let me tell you. When

men make mistakes, there's only 0 mistakes and countless

mistakes. If it happens once, it'll definitely happen a second time.

If you forgive him so easily right now, what will you do when he

lies to you again in the future?"

Zhuang Zhou asked strangely: "Why are you saying it like this?

Aren't you a man?"

Cheng JinXue: "Of course I am!"

"I'm also a man." Zhuang Zhou said: "But after making a mistake

once, I wouldn't make it a second time. Would you?"

Cheng JinXue grinded his teeth: "...….No!"

Zhuang Zhou blinked: "Since you wouldn't and I wouldn't, Wen

XiaoYun definitely wouldn't either. We're all men here. You can't

generalize like that."

"And plus," He paused and then said with slight embarrassment:

"He gifted me a lot of energy stones, saying that they were all

gifts of apology. This costs a lot of money right?"

Spending all of that money to buy him gifts and apologizing, Wen

XiaoYun was definitely being very sincere. Zhuang Zhou wasn't a

petty person. Wen XiaoYun had already apologized. It was also

for his sake anyways. Therefore, Zhuang Zhou had no reason to

stay angry.

Cheng JinXue: "...…"

Cheng JinXue really wanted to knock on Zhuang Zhou's little

head.

How come this little idiot didn't even consider why they were

staying on this trash planet?!

It was to mine the quarries!

All of these energy stone quarries have become the 3rd Legion's

private property!

Boss had complete authority to use these energy stones however

he wanted.

Thus, Boss gifted them to Zhou Zhou.

But Zhou Zhou was the future wife of the Admiral, which also

made him part of the 3rd Legion. To give these to Zhou Zhou was

pretty much equivalent to passing it around the family. It still

remained inside the 3rd legion?

Cheng JinXue looked into Zhuang Zhou's innocent and naïve eyes

and silently cursed Boss for being truly a crafty mutt!

Cheng JinXue said: "Forget it, forget it. As long as you're happy."

He heaved a sigh, really wanting to pat Zhuang Zhou on the

head. However, when he reached out his hand, he strangely felt

like this was being very disrespectful to Zhou Zhou. His hand

halted in midair, stiff and not knowing where to go.

Cheng JinXue was confused. What's going on here? It's not like

he's never touched Zhou Zhou's head before. How come it felt

disrespectful now?

Wait, respectful?

Why would he think about being respectful with Zhou Zhou?

Cheng JinXue was still confused. Zhuang Zhou already saw his

hand. He immediately grabbed the energy stones and sat to the

side, avoiding Cheng JinXue's hand. He asked: "Do you still want

to go on marriage interviews right now?"

Cheng JinXue's attention was shifted instantly. He shook his

head: "No! I won't, even if you kill me! I have no interest in

dating at all!

Zhuang Zhou said: “Then what about your mom?”

Right now, he no longer went to blow air for Cheng JinXue since

the other didn’t need this kind of luck.

However, he knew that Cheng JinXue was still going to marriage

interviews because his mom really wanted him to get married.

Cheng JinXue became very smug: “I already figured out a plan.”

Zhuang Zhou asked: “What kind of plan? Do you need my help?”

Cheng JinXue still wanted to say something but his personal

comm sounded. The person calling just happened to be his mom.

Cheng JinXue jumped up and ran out: “Zhou Zhou, I need to

answer a call first. We’ll talk later!”

As he ran, he yelled: “PoLan-yeye! Major urgent emergency! My

mom’s here again!”

Zhuang Zhou felt confused hearing this. Xiao PoLan?

How was Xiao PoLan going to help?

He originally wanted to follow and see. However, he saw Zhou

HongYi from the Elite little squad come over, carrying a box of

energy stones.

“Mada…… cough, Little Mister Zhuang. These are the energy

stones the Admiral ordered me to deliver to you. Where should I

put them?”

Zhuang Zhou’s eyes widened: “Why’s he giving me so much

again?”

Zhou HongYi said internally: Why else, because the Admiral likes

you!

However, he said out loud: “Sorry, but this subordinate doesn’t

know.”

Zhuang Zhou scratched his head: “You tell Wen XiaoYun to not

gift so much anymore. I can’t even use them all.”

Right now he’s learning to make mechas. It’s true that he needed

to use plenty of energy stones, but he didn’t need this much all at

once. Giving it all to him was just a waste. They can be sold for a

large sum of money after all.

In this box there were plenty of high level energy stones too.

Zhou HongYi nodded repeatedly: “Then this subordinate will just

put them here?”

This was Zhuang Zhou’s workshop, a workshop that Wen XiaoYun

had approved specially for him. The room was very large. Other

people in the battleship have never received this kind of

treatment.

Zhuang Zhou thought briefly and said: “You can put it in my

room. My room is not locked.”

He planned to take it back to his room. Then when Wen XiaoYun

returned to sleep, he could tell Wen XiaoYun to put them away

since he can’t use that many energy stones.

Zhou HongYi: “Alright!”

He effortlessly picked up the huge box, waved to Zhuang Zhou,

and then left.

The room that Zhuang Zhou lived in was Wen XiaoYun’s previous

residence. Ever since Zhuang Zhou moved in, in the last two

months, only Cheng JinXue entered once or twice at the very

start. Other people all didn’t dare to enter.

Receiving Zhuang Zhou’s approval this time, Zhou HongYi finally

entered the room cautiously, in a reverent state of touring the

Admiral and his wife’s ‘wedding chamber.’

This room was actually pretty much the same as most of the

rooms on the battleship. It was just slightly larger.

When Zhou HongYi entered holding the energy stones, his gaze

was subconsciously attracted to the Divine Image placed on the

head of the bed.

Stunned briefly, Zhou HongYi recalled that this was the statue of

the Madam’s father.

Concerning the Madam’s identity and past, this news has already

circulated battleship Wyvern in bits and pieces.

It’s said that their future Madam’s parents have passed away

already, so it was only him left.

It’s said that the Madam showed a lot of filial piety. Cherishing

the memory of his deceased father, he had specifically created an

honored statue to carry around. Everyday before eating, he’d

make an offering to his father.

It’s said that the Madam’s father had died of starvation. That’s

why he made offerings like this……

However, Zhuang Zhou rarely went to eat at the dining hall

because of the 3rd Legion crew. It was only the first few days of

returning to the battleship with the Admiral that he brought his

Divine Image to the dining hall to eat.

It’s been almost 2 months. This was actually the 2nd time Zhou

HongYi has seen this statue.

However, for some unknown reason, when he saw this honored

statue, he actually felt a hint of reverence gushing out from the

bottom of his heart. Vaguely, he felt like the God that he

worshipped was standing right in front of him at this very

moment.

Zhou HongYi subconsciously felt his legs weaken. He placed the

box in his hands on the ground and respectfully bowed down to

the ground.

On the other side, Cheng JinXue hastily rushed off to find Xiao

PoLan for assistance.

Going too fast, he ran right into Wen XiaoYun, who had just

returned.

Wen XiaoYun raised an eyebrow: “In such a hurry, what

happened?”

Cheng JinXue yelled like he was on fire: “My mom called!”

Wen XiaoYun: “Oh, do I need to speak with Aunty for a bit?”

Cheng JinXue immediately became vigilant: “Don’t you dare. Let

me tell you! If it weren’t for what you said to my mom previously,

would I be like this right now? After knowing you for so many

years, I finally learned what a mutt you are!”

Wen XiaoYun said calmly: “As long as Zhou Zhou likes me, it

doesn’t matter.”

Cheng JinXue cursed quietly: “Hope you die, you damn flirt!”

Saying this, he ran off covering his personal comm.

“Flirt?” Wen XiaoYun asked himself honestly. How was he a flirt?

He continued to walk towards his room. He just walked to the

entrance when he halted.

Wen XiaoYun’s brows immediately furrowed. He saw that the

front door of his and Zhou Zhou’s rooms was open wide. A big

and tall man was kneeling in front of the head of the bed, head

lowered, doing something.

Wen XiaoYun narrowed his eyes dangerously: “What are you

doing?”

Hearing his voice, Zhou HongYi promptly turned his head around:

“Admiral!”

Wen XiaoYun looked and discovered that Zhou HongYi had placed

an incense burner, candles, and such things on the ground and

was currently making an offering to Zhou Zhou’s father.

Wen XiaoYun’s voice was calm and composed, but his eyes were

dark and obscure: “This is?”

Zhou HongYi hastily got up and swiftly confessed: “Admiral, I was

just……”

He looked down. Discovering that he was making an offering to

Zhuang Zhou’s father, he was completely at a loss.

“I, I also don’t know what’s going on……” Zhou HongYi said

quickly: “Madam told me to put the energy stones here. As soon

as I entered and saw the statue of Madam’s father I just…… I just

strangely wanted to worship……”

Wen XiaoYun said with a heavy voice: “Strangely wanted to

worship?”

He looked at the Divine Image, not seeing how it was any

different than usual.

Zhou HongYi said in frustration: “Yes…… I just felt, felt like this

statue…… seemed like the God of Wealth that we’ve been

worshipping. You also know, everytime after we finish making an

offering, we’d all have good luck. After I saw it, I just felt like, he

seems to be the God of Wealth……”

Wen XiaoYun: “......”

He fell silent for a moment and then said: “You say, you think

he’s the God of Wealth?”

The writer have something to say: PS--

Wen XiaoYun: As long as Zhou Zhou likes me, I can (spread my

feathers) right here (*￣︶￣)

Cheng JinXue: Just go die, you flirt!

Zhuang Zhou grasping onto his disguise that’s in imminent

danger: It’s not me, it’s not me! He’s talking nonsense!
