It's okay for me to bully my wife for the sake of the young master's dignity, right?

Chapter 273 [029] Even a 1-meter-tall person needs height-enhancing shoes

Qin Jiandan wore the optical camouflage sunglasses provided by Linlin, which restored his face to the appearance of a 20-year-old, and walked from his underground residence to the middle of the headquarters courtyard.

Qin Jiandan happened to meet his senior brother Hu Chi, and he deliberately put his hands in his pockets and didn't say anything, wanting Hu Chi to discover the special function of the camouflage sunglasses first.

How can I not show off the good things that Linlin worked so hard to invent for me? Brother, please tell me why my face that looked 5 years younger has returned to its original state! Please tell me now!
As a result, Hu Chi greeted Qin Jiandan as usual and went to the cafeteria to eat with Qin Jiandan. They didn't notice anything unusual until they were almost halfway there.

Qin Jiandan couldn't help it, he stopped at the entrance of the cafeteria:
"Brother, your eyesight isn't very good. Even if you didn't see that my sunglasses are high-tech, you should ask me why I wear sunglasses in the headquarters, right?"

Tiger Chi stopped beside Qin Jiandan, not understanding what he meant:

"You wear sunglasses to hide your dark circles, don't you? I heard that you and Xiao Xia stayed up all night doing this and that..."

"Nonsense! Who has dark circles under their eyes after staying up all night? I practice martial arts wholeheartedly for the grand ambitions of the Night Dragon Society! Instead of complaining about me, don't you notice that I look more mature today than yesterday?"

Qin Jiandan blinked at Hu Chi through his sunglasses, the frequency reaching a level that made people doubt his sexual orientation, but Hu Chi still did not react.

"Fuck you, I give up... So in your eyes, I used to be short and immature, right?"

Hu Chi is more than a head taller than Qin Jiandan, and he is used to seeing his "junior brother" making embarrassing moves in the past. The five-year age difference in appearance is of no importance to Hu Chi, so the shorter height is negligible to him.

Some guards noticed the change in the young master's height and whispered:
"It turns out that alcohol and sex are harmful to the body. Even if you grind an iron rod into an embroidery needle, the young master's height has been worn away!"

Qin Jiandan explained to Hu Chi the working principle of the "camouflage sunglasses". Hu Chi not only did not admire Lin Lin's engineering skills, but also sighed sadly:
"Using the same principle as optical camouflage to disguise one's appearance, wouldn't it be revealed once a girl touches one's face? This invention is really of no practical value!"

Asshole, don't slander my sister's invention! This pair of camouflage sunglasses was not invented by Linlin for you to pick up girls! If you are ugly, you should read more. Don't think that you can become as handsome as me by taking medicine and wearing sunglasses!
While having breakfast together in the cafeteria, Qin Jiandan asked Hu Chi about his master's situation.

After returning from time travel, the right half of the master's body turned pure black like a Yin beast, and the right half of his face was even more like an ancient Yin beast, constantly changing its subtle shape, looking hideous and terrifying.

According to Tiger Chi, the master was relatively clear-headed, just more irritable than usual, and his appetite had increased. Last night was the first time he ate a lot since he fell ill.

"A sudden increase in appetite is not necessarily a good thing." Qin Jiandan sighed:

"The black fog will continuously digest the creatures it swallows. Master, half of your body is now parasitized by the black fog. Maybe your appetite has increased in order to resist the erosion of the black fog."

Tiger Maniac specifically observed Qin Jiandan's appetite:
"It seems that your appetite has not increased like Master's... It turns out that what you have increased is not your appetite."

"I was just sucked away from my five years old by the time travel. I wasn't parasitized by the black fog, okay!"

Tiger Chi rolled his eyes. Now he knew the relationship between Steel Armor Breathing and Black Mist. In his eyes, anyone who mastered Steel Armor Breathing was no different from "Black Mist Parasite".

What's even more terrifying is that Steel Armor Breathing Technique practitioners can synchronize their abilities. If Qin Jiandan synchronizes "increased appetite" from his master, it would be fine. But if his master synchronizes "increased lust" from Qin Jiandan, the Night Dragon Club might turn into a nightclub...

Aunt He is very efficient. Linlin asked Aunt He to make a pair of height-increasing shoes for Qin Jiandan to conceal his height. The shoes were ready before noon.

"How come your body is 15 years old? Have you been infected with the supernatural power of Alexander of the Nian Society?" Aunt He confirmed Qin Jiandan's current situation after Xiaoxia, Fengjian, and Wangyou:

"Here are the height-increasing shoes. If you need anything else, just let me know. Don't turn into a baby. I don't want to change your diapers."

Who needs your diaper changing? Before being adopted by Master, I was already (happily) picking up garbage on the street with Linlin. You have never seen me at the age when I needed a diaper changing!

When the guards and maids at the headquarters saw that Qin Jiandan's height fluctuated, they did not think it was the effect of the height-increasing shoes, but thought it was a side effect of the Steel Armor Breathing Method.

It is not uncommon for martial arts to have side effects. For example, in the Earth Age, the "Seven Injury Fist" means that with each level of skill improvement, one's internal organs will suffer more damage, and it is especially easy to go astray and become cross-eyed.

Qin Jiandan didn't care about the rumors, and he didn't pay attention to the rumor that "sunglasses are for hiding cross-eyes". The most urgent task was to find a way to get back the age he had lost.

Steel Armor Breathing Technique is a medium for traveling through time and space. Its power loss can be restored through dual cultivation, but Qin Jiandan's loss of height and the length of his limbs is quite annoying.

Although Qin Jiandan was also very tall at the age of 15, as a martial artist, the slightest change in the length of his arms and legs would result in a slight difference in combat. Before finding a way to recover, it would be better to avoid combat as much as possible.

Doctor Li is closely monitoring the master's condition, and Qin Jiandan cannot see them for the time being. Without the advice of Doctor Li and the master, Qin Jiandan has no idea about how to restore his age.

Since you are free anyway, why not give Mu Yue a call now!

The day before yesterday, when I was having breakfast at Mu Yue’s house, I received a notice from Hu Chi and hurried back to the headquarters. He didn’t tell me what happened here for a day. My wife must be getting anxious!

He returned to the guard room on the second underground floor, picked up the newly installed phone on the bedside table, and dialed Mu Yue's office number.

It turned out that it was Vale who answered the phone. The dog-eared girl still had a grudge against Qin Jiandan for not cooperating with her in the night attack on her bestie:
"Hey, isn't this the Young Master of the Night Dragon Society who only cares about his own pleasure and doesn't care about others? What do you want from Mu Yue?"

"Don't make trouble. You and I are on the same side." Qin Jiandan said, "Where did Mu Yue go? Did she go to a meeting again?"

Dog ears are more sensitive than human ears, and the voice of Qin Jiandan, who has become 15 years old, has also changed. Valei said "Hmm?"

"What's wrong with your voice? Are you calling me while you're eating? Well, you're sharing your delicious food with me!"

There were footsteps in the office, and Qin Jiandan heard the microphone changing hands. Judging from the fact that Valei handed over the microphone obediently, the other party must be Mu Yue.

Although they had only not communicated for a day, Qin Jiandan felt as if he had been separated from Mu Yue for a long time because he had traveled back to five years ago. He spoke excitedly:
"I miss you so much! Mu Yue, do you miss me?"

Mu Yue was originally worried about what happened at the Night Dragon Club headquarters. If Qin Jiandan didn't call her, she would call to ask. But Qin Jiandan started talking in a cheesy way. What's even more annoying is that Valei was listening in with evil intentions.

For a variety of reasons, the sheriff replied in a cold tone:

"I don't miss you at all. I'd rather say I've forgotten you. And why does your voice sound weird? You must have eaten something and licked something, and your mouth got inflamed!"

(Chapter 28 was put in solitary confinement and is being revised. It was all Xiao Xia’s fault for not sleeping well when she woke up early in the morning!)
