One person: Orochi, starting with Feng Baobao's Eight Heroes.

Chen Qi smiled slightly, "Chen Duo, this is your business. It's up to you whether or not you want to talk to him."

One sentence left Chen Duo stunned on the spot.

Years of habit have made her instinctively dependent on others.

It started with the Medicine Immortal Society, then it was Uncle Liao, and now it's Chen Qi.

At this moment, after healing her, Chen Qi let her choose for herself and make her own decision.

Chen Duo went from being stunned to breaking into a smile—a happy smile.

"I....."

She paused for a moment, then looked at Lao Meng, "I've chosen to talk to you."

"I chose it myself."

Chen Duo smiled, smiling like a child.

From the moment a baby is born into this world, it has its own choices: to cry or not to cry, to eat or not to eat.

Chen Duo didn't even have the right to give birth to a baby; she was like a newborn child.

Watching Lao Meng and Chen Duo walk into the courtyard next door, Duo'er ran to Chen Qi's side with some worry, "Brother Qi, this temporary worker won't take Duo Duo away, will he?"

Chen Qi reached out and pulled her into his arms, gently comforting her, "No, I'm still here. No one can hurt you two sisters."

"Yes, I believe in Brother Qi!" Duo'er nestled in Chen Qi's arms.

The courtyard not far away.

Old Meng felt somewhat awkward in the face of the composed Chen Duo.

Chen Duo didn't speak, quietly waiting for him to talk about what he wanted to talk about.

"Chen Duo, do you hate me very much...?"

After much thought, I had so many questions to ask, but only this one came to mind.

Chen Duo was not surprised to hear this.

"At first, I did feel resentment. I resented you for bringing me into this unsuitable place, a place that doesn't belong to me."

"I have to endure a lot of strange looks, and those looks make me extremely uncomfortable."

Chen Duo spoke calmly, as if she were talking about something else.

She herself didn't realize that in her words, Chen Duo had already acquired Chen Qi's indifference.

"But now I don't hate anymore. I know my sister, and I met Qi Ge who can change my destiny."

"They said I can live my life however I want from now on."

"I like this kind of life, as for Uncle Liao—"

Mentioning Liao Zhong, Chen Duo's eyes flashed with pain. "I didn't want to kill Uncle Liao. He had the device to kill me. I just wanted to die. I wanted to choose to die and make Uncle Liao agree with my choice."

"But Uncle Liao was still unwilling; he wanted me to live."

The phrase "He wants me to live" reveals the bitterness in Chen Duo's heart.

With Uncle Liao, she still didn't have the right to choose for herself; it could be said that Liao Zhong still didn't approve of her choices.

Old Meng had been silent for a long time.

Just as Chen Qi had said.

Even an outsider could see it, but he and Liao Zhong had never thought of it.

Correct!

Old Meng had a flash of inspiration and instantly understood.

He and Liao Zhong always regarded Chen Duo as a Gu child. If Chen Yanjun hadn't given Chen Duo a name, they still wouldn't have thought of giving Chen Duo the rights of a human being.

They had already brought Chen Duo into this world, but they wouldn't let her be a human.

Is this fair to Chen Duo?

unfair!

Thinking of this, Lao Meng's heart was resolute. "Chen Duo, don't worry, you did nothing wrong in Liao Zhong's matter. It was our willful actions that made Liao Zhong choose death himself."

"I will help you. I will make up for everything that Lao Liao and I owed you before."

"Now, I'll help you avoid being punished by the company!"

Old Meng initially came to Biyou Village with two tasks: Ma Xianhong's Body Cultivation Furnace and Chen Duo.

Now there's only one left, and he has to protect Chen Duo!

……

the other side.

Ma Xianhong thought about it for a whole day, and every time he made a choice, he trusted Chen Qi.

He was indeed moved by what Chen Qi said.

More importantly, there is the danger we face now.

The company is powerful, and the temporary workers they send out are all exceptionally capable. Even with only the twelve superior talents, they are no match for them.

Therefore, I need Chen Qi, a powerful person.

"That's right, I really need Chen Qi right now!"

"I'll just talk to my sister and figure out Chen Qi's matter first!"

Ma Xianhong stood up from the ground, intending to go find Chen Qi, when his phone rang. The caller was his sister.

"Sister! Aren't you busy?"

Ma Xianhong was pleasantly surprised; he hadn't expected his sister to call so soon after he made his decision.

I can tell my sister about this now.

But after Ma Xianhong told Qu Tong the whole story, Qu Tong said something that surprised him.

This left Ma Xianhong frozen in place, overturning all the decisions he had made.

I stood there, still unable to process what had happened.

After hanging up the phone, he turned back to look at the body-refining furnace, his eyes filled with an undeniable sense of reluctance and inner turmoil.

What should he do?

Chapter 147 Fu Rong Comes to the Door?

In the afternoon, Chen Qi was sitting in meditation inside the house.

Recently, due to the Samadhi True Fire, the Azure Flame Power within his body has experienced considerable fluctuations.

That was a force that could influence changes in his consciousness.

This made him less calm than usual, and sometimes some emotions would arise.

This is not a bad thing for Chen Qi.

I was worried that cultivating the Great Serpent would cause my consciousness to completely revert to divinity.

In that case, he would completely lose himself, becoming nothing more than a vessel carrying supreme power.

"Chen Qi?"

A soft call came from outside.

Feng Baobao, who was lying in bed asleep, suddenly sat up. "Who is it?"

Chen Duo and Duo'er from another room also opened the door and peeked out.

Standing at the door, Fu Rong looked somewhat lost. Meeting their questioning gazes, she simply said, "I want to find Chen Qi."

When his name was mentioned, Chen Qi put away his imposing posture, got up, and walked out.

"What happened to Zhuge Qing?"

In his view, the fact that Fu Rong was able to find him meant that something must have happened to Zhuge Qing.

To be fair, Zhuge Qing was quite stupid.

I haven't mastered the Samadhi True Fire yet (527).

"Can't I have my own business to discuss with you? Why does it have to involve Zhuge Qing?"

Fu Rong asked with some annoyance and dissatisfaction.

Upon hearing this, Chen Qi paused, "What do you want from me?"

He simply couldn't imagine what connection Fu Rong could possibly have with him.

The two stood in the courtyard. Fu Rong seemed very conflicted and couldn't say anything for a long time.

Seeing this, Chen Qi asked directly, "Just tell me what's wrong. I'll help you out of respect for Zhuge Qing."

Samadhi Fire is the ultimate skill of the Zhuge family. Since Zhuge Qing is being so generous, he can't be stingy either.

But as soon as Chen Qi finished speaking, Fu Rong glared at him angrily.

"What do you mean by 'because of Zhuge Qing's face'? What relationship do I have with Zhuge Qing that I need you to give me face?"

Fu Rong clenched her fists and questioned him angrily.

Chen Qi was almost scared.

What's wrong with this little girl? She seems a bit crazy.

"Otherwise what? Whose face should I consider?"

We can't just do it because of Ma Xianhong's influence.

The twelve are of superior character, yet they have absolutely no connection whatsoever.

"Chen Qi, I know, you're running away from me, aren't you?"

As if suddenly enlightened, Fu Rong couldn't stop talking, "You, you, what exactly do you mean by me!"

She couldn't help herself and blurted out her thoughts.

Even if Chen Qi were stupid, he would understand the meaning of such a direct conversation.

What do you mean?

Even though he understood, Chen Qi was still puzzled.

When did he get involved with Fu Rong?

Although he doesn't like to hurt girls' feelings, those who can't handle his eccentricities can't accept him.

"I'm sorry, Fu Rong. I don't know when I caused you to have this misunderstanding, but we are not suitable for each other."

Chen Qi really wanted to explain that their incompatibility stemmed from physiological differences.

But Fu Rong didn't give him a chance to explain at all. After hearing those words, she turned around and ran away in anger.

"this....."

Chen Qi, who is usually able to control the course of everything, was unusually at a loss.

"puff"

Suddenly, a sound of someone spitting blood came from the side.

Chen Qi looked in the direction of the sound and saw Zhuge Qing leaning against a tree, his face extremely pale.

"Have you seen it all?"

Zhuge Qing stared at Chen Qi in disbelief, her emotions a jumble of feelings. "I taught you my family's secret techniques, and this is how you treat me? Trying to steal my man?"

"Please be careful, I'm not trying to steal your girlfriend, I didn't agree to it," Chen Qi explained helplessly.

Zhuge Qing was completely unconvinced. "Why would Fu Rong suddenly confess to you? Didn't you do something with Fu Rong behind my back?"

"Before you came, we were getting along well. Fu Rong was clearly softening. How come she changed as soon as you arrived?"

Faced with Zhuge Qing's repeated questions, Chen Qi looked innocent: "How would I know?"
