In Zongman, the evil spirits are eliminated physically.

Qianshu's tone was already very vague.

"I won't in my next life. I will love you for the rest of my life."

"Senior, you're so heavy, but I like it. The heavier you are to me, the better. The heavier you are, the more I like it..."

Qian Shu, who was resting her head on Ouyang Falcon's arm, squirmed her body to make it more comfortable. "Senior, no one has ever sung a lullaby to me in my life. Can you sing it for me?"

"Good~"

Ouyang Xuan's voice also subconsciously became softer, as if he was afraid of disturbing the sleeping beauty's sleepiness.

"Moonlight shines on the underworld~"

When Ouyang Xuan sang the first sentence, Qianshu fell asleep, and his little head, resting on his arm, moved cutely with the rhythm of his breathing.

"Little Xia, get out of bed and listen to my mother, she's going to plant rice. Grandpa's going to go up the hill to watch the cattle."

Although Qianshu had fallen asleep, Ouyang Xuan still softly sang this lullaby that was well-known in Ouyang Xuan's hometown. At the end, he did not pull out the arm that Qianshu was resting on, but just brushed away the hair that was stuck to Qianshu's forehead.

The blonde beauty was sleeping on his arms, looking so harmonious and beautiful. However, in Ouyang Xuan's eyes, Qianshu was as fragile as a porcelain doll. The countdown of her life was still ticking away, as if she might close her eyes at any time and never open them again.

"Owner!"

2B's cold voice was thick with excitement. "Mr. Ma Er sent a message saying the artificial heart is ready."

-

Mainland, Biyou Village.

"It's dinner time. It's only around seven o'clock in the island country now. That bastard Ouyang should be eating too."

Ma Er fell back weakly in his chair. During the past week, he was basically glued to this gaming chair. He relied on energy supplements at hand to eat, and suppressed his physiological needs with exercises, glued to the gaming chair for 24 hours.

Don’t underestimate the bond between me and the figures!

Under the temptation of all Ouyang Xuan's figures, Ma Er gambled everything he had. He could give up his life, but he had to survive.

"Ah~ I feel like I'm dying~~"

He had no strength in his body and his heart was beating loudly. This was the side effect of Ma Er drinking three bottles of Baozhilin's stimulant every day for a week. Before, he would only drink half a bottle when staying up late.

Since he was about to die, Ma Er naturally had no mood or ability to package the thing he had made. The pale golden artificial heart was placed on the table with a towel underneath. This was already the limit of Ma Er's ability. This was a tissue that otakus regarded as a treasure.

"Let's sleep for a while. The people who come to pick up the mail won't come until tomorrow morning. So tonight, let's just—"

Ma Er was like a person who had lost power. He started snoring before he could finish his words. Once he stopped taking the medicine, he was like a candle in the wind, unable to hold on for even a second. This time, he was really doing a job that risked his life. It wasn't just that he might die. If it were an ordinary person, he would have already died.

Boom! !

A deafening roar frightened Ma Er, who was sleeping as peacefully as a dead man, and made him jump out of his chair.

"Holy crap! What's going on? Is Tushan here to attack, or is Quan Xing here to kill us? Did my brother's actions expose us and the company came to raid our house?!"

"Ma Er, where is the thing?"

Ouyang Xuan grabbed Ma Er's shoulders and shook him hard, waking up Ma Er's head which was as dry as a paste due to being too sleepy.

"You're coming to pick it up—Ah! My model!"

Ma Er's blurred eyes refocused, first on Ouyang Xuan's face, and then moved to the roof of his own workshop. There was a big hole, but it didn't matter, he could ask his brother to pay for the repair. His sight continued to move, and Ma Er saw his clamp that was affected when Ouyang Xuan's hero landed, as well as the full of models on it. Although this was used to hold EG and HG level models, it also made Ma Er feel like his heart stopped.

"You bastard Taoist priest, my model, my treasure!"

Ma Er pushed Ouyang Xuan away, ran and slid to his knees on the models lying on the ground. Except for a few EGs and HGs from old molds from twenty years ago, most of them just fell to the ground in changed postures. There was not much damage, but it still made Ma Er heartbroken.

"You bastard Taoist priest! Can't you learn to go through the main gate? There's such a big main gate. You could have just come in from the village entrance and met my brother. If you had beaten him up, wouldn't he have told you about my workshop? Why did you have to drop from the sky? How can you, a bastard Taoist priest, also be a thing that fell from the sky!?"

Facing Ma Er's tearful roar behind him, Ouyang Jun turned a deaf ear. After Ma Er ran away, Ouyang Jun saw the artificial heart placed on Ma Er's desk. Ouyang Jun also looked at the drawings before giving them to Ma Er, so naturally he knew what the artificial heart would look like after it was completed.

Ouyang Jun didn't even dare to touch the artificial heart with his hands. He took out the box prepared by Yang Nai, which was said to be able to withstand nuclear bomb explosions. He used the power of the chicken talisman to pick up the artificial heart and put it inside the box. Even after putting it inside the box, he did not touch the inside. The power of the chicken talisman maintained the artificial heart floating in the box.

"Ma Er, thank you."

Ouyang Xuan sincerely thanked Ma Er for his help this time. "The things I promised you are on the way. The two boxes next to you contain gifts prepared by my lover for you. They are all things that Gundam company has not yet released."

"Put the things aside for now. The problem now is that you, a bastard, destroyed my model! You bastard Taoist priest!"

Ma Er now feels that nothing he does is working, and the anger of the modeler is already burning.

"They're called Disintegration Craftsman Strike Freedom, Disintegration Craftsman Perfect Unicorn, and Disintegration Craftsman Barbatos - Wolf King. I'm not sure if you like them or not. If you don't like them or have nowhere to put them, you can just throw them away somewhere. The things I promised you are on the way."

Ma Er's anger was extinguished in an instant. He blinked and looked at the box next to him that was taller than him, and then looked at the HG and EG on the ground.

It's no big deal, isn't it just a broken part? I can fix it myself and not cause any more trouble to my loved ones. And it just fell off the shelf and broke. How can this be tolerated? Only the strong can be my glue!

Qianshu was in a critical situation now. Ouyang Xuan got the artificial heart and rushed back to the island country at full speed. Ma Er was under the big hole that Ouyang Xuan had smashed, waving goodbye to Ouyang Xuan with a smile on his face that he couldn't suppress. After getting three dismantled craftsmen machines that had not been released or even announced, Ma Er felt that he would not feel sad even if his brother was beaten up by the company tonight.

"After being stimulated by this, my dying body seems to be able to function again."

Ma Er returned to his gaming chair and took out his tablet, which hadn't been charged for a week and still had 20 seconds of battery left.

"Since I'm not going to die yet, I'll just finish watching Requiem first. I was planning on watching such a big job after being entrusted by Ouyang, but after watching this latest supposedly masterpiece, I'll go to sleep. The uglier the mecha, the more outlandish the plot. With all my years of experience watching Gundam, and all the money invested in it, this one is definitely a masterpiece!"

Ma Er clicked on the first episode with great anticipation.

Chapter 74: Licorice's Gunfight.

"Senior, good morning."

Downstairs in the apartment building, Takina, dressed neatly in a blue Lycoris uniform, greeted Ouyang Sun who had just come downstairs.

"Awaited."

"I'm just coming down, Senior."

"Then why didn't you just wait for me at my door? Why did you even go downstairs?"

Ouyang Xuan's home is a neighbor of Kaguya's previous apartment where Chizuka Takina is currently staying. They are right next to each other. It would only take less than half a minute for her to walk over and knock on the door, but Takina chose to wait for Ouyang Xuan downstairs of the apartment.

"I heard that this can better increase the anticipation between lovers. When you left the house and walked downstairs to the apartment building, were you looking forward to meeting me?"

"We just met last night, and the journey was only a minute or so. You probably wouldn't be looking forward to it, right? Does Takina want me to be more excited?"

"I'm just testing what I heard online. If it doesn't work, then I'll just put it aside."

"Qianzhu should be able to wake up today, let's go to the hospital first."

Two days have passed since Ouyang Xuan retrieved Qian Shu's heart for surgery. According to the doctor's estimate, Qian Shu would wake up today. In fact, Qian Shu should have woken up that night, but it seemed as if the stress during this period was relieved all at once. Qian Shu relaxed completely and slept soundly until the next day without waking up. That scared the anesthesiologist, who cried and begged Qian Shu not to die.

"Is this a comfort gift for Qianzhu?"

Ouyang Xuan wanted to take the bag from Takina's hand, but Takina dodged him.

"Yes, it's prepared for Qianshu. If Qianshu wakes up, we can use it tonight. Oh no, we can eat it tonight."

For some reason, Takina sounded a little guilty when she spoke. "Inside are some snacks that Chizuka likes to eat, and things that Chizuka might need. This is a girl's secret, so please don't ask."

Although he could see that Takina was sometimes hiding things from him, Ouyang Sun did not pursue the matter further.

Qianshu's ward is still the original one, located in the most luxurious ward of Shinomiya Hospital. This ward usually only receives top figures of the Shinomiya family. The room is also very large, otherwise it would be impossible for a group of people to have a party in it.

Originally, Ouyang Sun planned to stay in the hospital the whole time and wait for Qianshu to wake up. However, under the strong requests of his lovers, Ouyang Sun was forced to go home to rest for a night, leaving one person to accompany Qianshu as a liaison. As for this person, they were selected by drawing lots. Finally, under the gaze of Bai Honghong's bitter little face, a group of people left the ward, leaving Bai Honghong behind.

Arriving at Chizuka's ward with ease, Ouyang Sun pushed the door open and saw Bai Honghong sleeping soundly on the table. Ever since she and Rongrong fell in love with watching TV, Bai Honghong seldom went to bed early. Every day she would wait for late-night animation with Rongrong, or watch late-night idol shows with Ai. However, the frequency has decreased in recent times. As B Komachi gradually became famous, Ruby no longer had to appear on late-night shows.

"Qianzhu is missing!"

On the empty bed, the golden girl who should have been fast asleep was nowhere to be seen.

"Senior! Qianzhu is missing!"

Takina ran to the bed, as if wanting to confirm from close range that Chizuka was gone. Still not giving up, Takina looked under the bed.

"Takina, go to the front desk first and ask them to check the surveillance footage to see if Chizuka has gone out for a walk. With her personality, she's probably going to want to go out for a walk after being forced to stay in bed for so long."

Ouyang Xuan was calmer. He had already had a new heart replaced, but Qian Shu's surgical wound had not yet fully healed and he could not walk far.

There was another reason why Ouyang Xuan calmed down. There was not a trace of magic power or spiritual power in this room. It was impossible that someone from the inner world came to kidnap Qianshu. Given Qianshu's current identity, doing such a thing was not much different from suicide. It was even more impossible in the outer world. It was almost impossible for someone to enter this ward and arrest someone without leaving any trace. In order to protect their own safety, the people of the Shigong family made the glass windows of this ward as thick as a fist.

It was probably Qianshu who ran away on his own.

"I'll go right away."

"Xiaobai, Xiaobai."

Ouyang Xuan rocked the half-drowsy Bai Honghong, and she opened her eyes sleepily after a while. As soon as she saw Ouyang Xuan, she wanted to hug him.

"Brother Taoist, hold me~"

Seeing Bai Honghong who couldn't turn on the phone without hugging her, Ouyang Jun had no choice but to hug her for a while. Bai Honghong locked Ouyang Jun with her arms tightly, buried her face in Ouyang Jun's chest, and was about to fall asleep again with her head nodding off.

"Xiaobai, don't fall asleep yet, wake up."

If Qian Shu had not disappeared, Ouyang Xuan would have let Bai Honghong fall asleep in his arms.

"Brother Taoist, I'm so sleepy, let me sleep for a while."

"Then tell me first, do you know where Qianzhu went?"

"Chizuki? She just went out, saying she was going to the bathroom~~"

Bai Honghong actually knew Qianshu's whereabouts. "This is the job that Taoist Brother gave me. I have always protected Qianshu. I knew it as soon as Qianshu woke up. Then she said she wanted to go to the bathroom, so I let her go."

"When did Chizuki go?"

"When the sun is just rising, Taoist brother, you are not allowed to enter the women's restroom~"

After Bai Honghong finished speaking, she rubbed her face hard in Ouyang Xuan's arms, then fell asleep.

"Senior, I just finished watching the surveillance footage and have already asked the nurses on this floor."

Takina came back, "They said Chizuki woke up at 6:56 and said she was going for a walk in the atrium, but I've checked the surveillance in the atrium and there's no sign of Chizuki."

"Although Qianzhu doesn't seem very reliable and carefree, she is the strongest Lycoris after all. It's not a problem for her to avoid the cameras while walking. This way, we can't find Qianzhu through the surveillance."

"Senior, should we notify Kaguya and the others first and have them mobilize the Shinomiya family to look for her together? Chizuki's surgical wound hasn't fully healed yet, and it's very dangerous for her to go outside. It's a wound on her heart, and if it gets infected or something, the consequences will be disastrous."

"No need to trouble Kaguya and the others."

Ouyang Xuan picked up the sleeping Bai Honghong and placed her on Qianshu's bed.

"Qianshu isn't such an ignorant person. Since his wound hasn't healed yet, even if he went out, he should be around the hospital. You and I can go look for him together later. There aren't many shops open this early in the morning, so it won't be difficult to find him."

"That Qianshu guy, he clearly knew he was injured, but he woke up without informing us first and just ran around everywhere, causing trouble for us seniors."

Takina complained.

"Maybe Qianshu is going crazy from eating all the hospital meals lately, so she went out to eat something flavorful."

"Hmm...I do think Chizuki is capable of doing something like this."

Look at what Qianshu’s diet was in the past: barbecue, beef rice, pork bone ramen, and pancakes smothered in maple syrup. What has she been eating these days: vegetables boiled in water, meat boiled in water. It’s so light that even Ouyang Xuan, a Baiyue person, feels it’s a bit too much.

Chizuka had resisted, but under Kotoko's smile and the gaze of 2B standing beside her, Chizuka could only close her eyes and eat until dark. Every time she ate, she would beat her chest and stamp her feet for a long time. When she couldn't eat anymore, Chizuka would look at Takina and Ouyang Shun with pitiful eyes. Takina would glare back at her, while Ouyang Shun would turn his head away.

This is all for your own good, eat it.

"Takina, do you need to take this bag with you when you go out to look for Chizuka?"

"This is a very important item. You must carry it with you at all times. Qianshu, this is for Qianshu."

Takina's tone remained calm and composed, but when she mentioned Chizuka, there was a strange pause.

"Hold it carefully. Qianshu has been hungry for so long, and if he pounces on you, he might just grab the food."

"Then please help me hold Qianshu down when the time comes."

Takina said seriously: "Now that Chizuki has recovered her health, we can treat her more roughly."

Ouyang Jun felt that the meaning behind Takina's words seemed a little strange. It should be that she just wanted to say that she didn't need to pamper Qianshu so much. Ouyang Jun thought about it and realized that Qianshu had been sitting when she went out for a while. She didn't have to walk by herself. She either sat in a wheelchair or was carried by Ouyang Jun. Although she didn't eat very well, she was always well-fed.

However, given Ouyang Xuan's personality, he couldn't think of any rough way to treat Qianshu. At most, he would just restore it to its original state.

It is not difficult to find Chizuki's trace. There are generally no breakfast shops in the island country. Breakfast is usually prepared by the mother or wife in families. If there is no mother or wife, they can just go to the convenience store and buy some bread to make do. Some udon or ramen shops will prepare breakfast, and there is one not far from Shinomiya Hospital.

There was no need to go close, just by looking from a distance, Ouyang Xuan could be sure that Qian Shu was in this store. This was not because this was the only store here that sold breakfast, but because there was a sign at the door with a line of big words written on it: I'm here.

"That fool."

Takina looked at the words on the signboard with gritted teeth. It was Chizuka's handwriting, and Takina recognized it very clearly.

"Where did she get that stand? The message board the ramen shop prepared for customers?"

Ouyang Xuan was interested in this signboard.
