Chapter 23 Never Forget the Well-Digger When You Drink Water
"Make a wish..." Beiwei forced back her churning stomach and took a deep breath. "This... is the surprise you were talking about?"
Xu Yuan blinked.
"Don't you like it?"
"Should I like it?"
"Of course, this is a hotshot with a three million bounty. It's a cash-on-delivery deal. You take care of the wanted man, and I get the three million. It's a win-win situation!"
Bevy: ...
Wishing to give your head as a gift—whether it's romantic or not is secondary.
She steadied herself and her mind raced.
It is said that Cheng Yong went missing after getting off the plane in the United States this morning. In just a few hours, Xu Yuan actually found Cheng Yong, who had disappeared on the other side of the ocean, and was even able to kill him and bring his head back.
The first possibility to rule out is the involvement of other forces. In the previous life, it was clearly found that Xu Yuan had no connection with any human forces.
He has a clean background, as clear as water, and only one father and one sister, his only two close relatives.
The second one to be ruled out is Xu Yuan going abroad through normal means.
Wishing has long been on a special list.
Forget about expedited processing of exit procedures in just a few hours; normally, if he wanted to process his exit procedures, he would have to be sent to me first...
Therefore, after eliminating all the impossibilities, the only remaining possibility, however incredible, is the truth!
I wish I could run off to the other side of the ocean!
He personally killed Cheng Yong, and then ran back!
Meanwhile, the percentage of the sky also decreased during this period.
In other words...
Cheng Yong is dead, so the end of the world is postponed?
If you make a wish, will the heavens be clear?
What exactly did Cheng Yong do to deserve this? His own father's downfall could postpone the end of the world, and now he's even using a Louis XVI-like plugin to postpone the end of the world!
It seems best to thoroughly examine Cheng Yong's head!
Bevy felt a mix of emotions as she looked at the head with complicated feelings.
If it weren't for the fact that the dead cannot be brought back to life, she would almost hope that several more "Cheng Yongs" would appear, so that this apocalypse could be postponed indefinitely.
Although discovering the pattern of delaying the end of the world was a good thing, she felt a strange sense of resentment when she looked at Xu Yuan's "praise me" expression.
"A surprise...it really is a surprise."
"Then you're taking this head?"
Xu Yuan rubbed his hands together.
Beiwei noticed the expectant look in Xu Yuan's eyes; how could she not understand his thoughts?
"Okay, I'll take this 'surprise' for now, and I'll transfer the reward money to you later."
"No problem, we're like brothers, why wouldn't I trust you?"
Xu Yuan nodded frantically.
Bevy: ...
……
"jingle……"
Beiwei had only been out for a short while when a message notification sounded on Xuyuan's phone.
The three million reward money has been credited to my account!
A full three million!
Cheng Yong is a good person!
If you die, my whole family will be happy!
However, the source of the funding was actually Bevy?
But it doesn't matter. It's a cash-on-delivery transaction. This is the hard-earned money from my own hands!
He excitedly rushed into the bathroom, phone in hand.
Old Xu was still hunched over the toilet, vomiting violently and nearly collapsing from exhaustion.
He had been a part of the underworld for many years, and being slashed and bleeding was commonplace for him, but this scene of being decapitated was still beyond his tolerance limit.
"Old Xu, look! Our family's rich now!"
As she spoke, Xu Yuan waved her phone in front of Lao Xu's face.
Old Xu looked up with teary eyes, and when he saw the string of zeros, he instantly forgot the churning in his stomach and his eyes widened in disbelief.
So many zeros...
He's only ever seen it in Sichuan and Chongqing!
At that moment, he ignored the churning in his stomach and looked at Xu Yuan with disbelief.
"You kidnapped Bevy?" His voice trembled.
"..." Xu Yuan sighed, rubbing her forehead. "This is Cheng Yong's bounty!"
Old Xu then remembered that Cheng Yong was on Interpol's Red Notice, with a bounty of exactly three million.
His eyes suddenly lit up; his back pain was gone, his legs were no longer sore, and even his hemorrhoids were half healed!
Xiaomeng's tuition fees are finally covered!
And then things started to get better!
Looking at it this way, it seems...
Cheng Yong's head isn't so disgusting anymore!
It's like asking someone with trypophobia to look at a beehive, but what if you asked them to look at a pot of golden ingots?
All my fears are cured!
……
Midnight.
As Xu Yuan lay in bed, his keen hearing allowed him to catch Old Xu's suppressed, silly laughter from inside the room, and his repeated murmurs, "We're rich...we're finally rich..."
He twitched the corner of his mouth helplessly.
In the past, he would have had a hard time falling asleep if disturbed by such noise.
Fortunately, he now possesses the ability to enter dreams.
As the saying goes, "When you drink water, don't forget the well-digger."
Thank you again, Cheng Yong.
Begin the prayer!
Make a wish to calm your mind and, following the guidance of the Dharma, slowly gather and solidify your immense spiritual power.
Consciousness sank into a pure white mental space, facing the familiar, malevolent passage in the center.
Without the slightest hesitation, he took a step forward!
next moment.
He has already appeared in the dream space.
But unlike before, this time, as soon as she entered the dream space, Xu Yuan keenly noticed the changes that had occurred within herself.
The black flames that had originally enveloped its outer side did not disappear; instead, they burned even more fiercely.
Originally, the black flames could only illuminate a range of about ten meters around him.
But now it can illuminate a 50-meter area with crystal clarity!
Ok?
Hmm? Is it because mental energy condensed into a physical form, causing a qualitative change?
It seems that this dream world and those four guys hold many secrets...
Just as he was making a wish and lost in thought, the four gods arrived right on time.
When the four gods saw the wish transform from a torch into a flame, their expressions changed drastically!
The other three gods all subconsciously looked at the gaunt old man.
"Oi! It seems you know something?"
With a sinister grin on his face, Xu Yuan walked toward the gaunt old man while clenching his fist.
The gaunt old man was so frightened that he backed away repeatedly and hurriedly spoke up.
"According to the rules, we should start with Slaanesh today!"
"rule?"
"What are the rules?"
"Are my rules the only rules?"
When Xu Yuan's fist, wreathed in flames, slammed into the gaunt old man, the old man looked like a vampire being directly exposed to sunlight.
He immediately let out a scream, and black smoke billowed from his body.
The damage has been increased too?
"You had better explain to me why I detected your power in other worlds?"
But it was beyond Xu Yuan's expectations.
Although I can deal more damage to the Four Gods today, the Four Gods are behaving exceptionally tough!
No matter how much they were "tortured," they would rather be beaten to the point of physical destruction and reborn again and again than reveal a single piece of information!
Only by chance was the true names of the gods revealed through a wish—Khorne, Nurgle, Tzeentch, and Slaanesh.
He watched as Khorne, the god of courage, charged at him again, roaring and screaming, after his resurrection.
Helpless, Xu Yuan could only accelerate and deliver a few punches to kill him before heading deeper into the space.
Just now, under the light of the fire, Xu Yuan suddenly noticed that there seemed to be traces of buildings in the distance!
Is the space in a dream not completely empty?
……
Meanwhile, at the Bei family villa.
Bevy has returned home.
"Weiwei, why are you only just getting back?"
Even late at night, Bevy's father and mother were still waiting in the living room.
The recent events have had such a huge impact on them that they've been having trouble sleeping.
"I went to see Xu Yuan and took a nap," Bei Wei casually replied before running back to her study.
She has more important things to do now and simply doesn't have the energy to deal with her parents' concern.
When Beiwei's father and mother heard Beiwei's answer, they were stunned and stood there in shock.
It wasn't until they heard the study door close that the two snapped out of their daze and stared at each other with strange expressions.
"Honey, did I hear that right?"
"His dad, if you heard me right, then you definitely heard me right..."
The couple looked at each other, both feeling as if their own cabbage had been eaten by a pig.
Bevy is beautiful and comes from a wealthy family.
She has never lacked suitors since childhood, but Beiwei is completely indifferent to their advances.
She always said she had greater aspirations, wanting to pursue scientific progress and human development...
But how did she end up being taken by that ordinary-looking guy who makes wishes?
And her own daughter openly admitted it!
Wasn't it agreed that the task of granting wishes was merely to "maintain stability"?
But today, both of them saw the percentage in the sky drop from 83% to 80%.
Sleeping counts as maintaining stability?
However, with the apocalypse looming, Bevy had no time to explain her parents' misunderstanding; she had already reopened the top-secret channel...
