Dragon Overlord × Brainless Cannon Fodder (3)
“Master, you cannot kick me out. This is my home, and I am not going anywhere.” The female ghost had never taken a human life, so she was quite timid.
“You won’t even go for reincarnation?” Shen Wenbai kicked her, knocking the ghost flat onto the floor.
The ghost immediately dissolved into mist and vanished, having been kicked off to be reincarnated.
Lin Xi buried himself under his quilt. Once the commotion ceased, he stealthily poked his head out to peek. Seeing that the ghost had truly departed, he finally dared to emerge from the bedding, patting his chest in relief.
“Thanks!”
“She will likely come back, so I will stay here and keep you company tonight.” Shen Wenbai sat on the bed, leaning his elbow on his knee and resting his chin on his palm. “Do not worry; I will not touch you, nor will I harm you, because I am a decent man.”
Lin Xi had no other choice now but to share the bed with Shen Wenbai.
“Young Master Lin, you are quite bold, daring to buy a haunted house!”
“It was several million cheaper.”
As Lin Xi and Shen Wenbai chatted, they eventually drifted off to sleep.
Early in the morning, Lin Xi opened his eyes to see Shen Wenbai sleeping beside him, his arm draped over his waist, hugging him. Instantly, a surge of anger rose within him. Using all his strength, he pushed Shen Wenbai away.
“Slap!” Lin Xi slapped Shen Wenbai’s hand hard. “Take your hands off me!”
“Baby, you are kicking the ladder after climbing it; you were quite enthusiastic last night.” Shen Wenbai covered himself with the quilt, acting like a poor, abused little cabbage. “I did not do anything; I just got a beating for my troubles.”
Lin Xi felt he might have been a bit excessive. Although Shen Wenbai talked nonsense, he did save him last night. Between the life-saving grace and that wager, he felt conflicted.
“I am sorry.”
“It is fine. I am a magnanimous person; I forgive you. You have a heavy Yin aura right now, and my Yang energy is strong. Being held by me can dispel the Yin. If a living person is contaminated by Yin aura and does not get rid of it in time, they will have terrible luck.” Shen Wenbai’s list of excuses was endless, and he successfully tricked Lin Xi into believing him.
“Really?” Lin Xi asked skeptically.
“Of course.”
Lin Xi thought about it and concluded it made sense. Shen Wenbai was indeed capable; he had chased the female ghost away all by himself.
He leaned closer to Shen Wenbai and felt that it was indeed much warmer. Thinking again that Shen Wenbai was a master, he should be able to ward off evil and avoid bad luck.
Shen Wenbai hugged the soft, fragrant Lin Xi and could not resist kissing his earlobe. Lin Xi’s body stiffened instantly, and his ears turned deep red.
“Do not move around; be careful or the Yin aura will not leave!” Shen Wenbai said solemnly. “If the Yin aura does not dissipate and you do not want to run into bad luck, we must use dual cultivation to regulate it.”
Lin Xi was silent. He had not even married yet; how could he engage in dual cultivation?
Lin Xi pushed Shen Wenbai’s face away and gritted his teeth. “Who wants to engage in dual cultivation with you?”
Shen Wenbai stared at Lin Xi with a grin. “You should not say that. We have already had intimate contact; dual cultivation is perfectly logical.”
“Get lost, I do not need your help.”
Shen Wenbai shamelessly leaned closer to Lin Xi. “Since you do not want to, let us just date first. We are already sleeping under the same quilt anyway. Let us have a relationship that starts with marriage, or in this case, sleeping together, first. Baby!”
“Do not think you can trick me into dating you, you stinky charlatan.”
“How many times do I have to tell you? I do not stink. If you do not believe me, take a sniff.”
Shen Wenbai leaned in front of Lin Xi and inhaled deeply, wearing a dazed, infatuated look. “So fragrant. I like it.”
Lin Xi glared at Shen Wenbai in fury. This guy was too shameless; he was simply asking for a beating.
Slap!
After the slap landed, Lin Xi regretted it. Shen Wenbai had real skills; what if he held a grudge and cast a curse on him?
“Okay!”
Shen Wenbai lowered his head and kissed Lin Xi. Lin Xi was stunned, forgetting to dodge, and foolishly let Shen Wenbai kiss him. His lips touched his gently, slowly deepening the kiss, his agile tongue entwining with his. One could guess at a glance that this guy was experienced in these games.
“Nng!”
“Be a good boy and date me. Do not refuse me, okay?”
“Too greasy. What kind of person are you?”
“It is not grease; it is called being sexy.”
Shen Wenbai’s hand slid toward Lin Xi’s waist, pinching it lightly, which caused Lin Xi to tremble and almost let out a moan. Shen Wenbai took advantage of the opening to touch Lin Xi’s sensitive spots.
Lin Xi’s body grew weaker, and he collapsed onto Shen Wenbai. “What kind of black magic did you use on me? Let me tell you, the Lin family has a very high status in Jiangcheng. I have plenty of ways to retaliate against you.”
Lin Xi, unwilling to be humiliated, tried to threaten him.
“Is that so? I do not believe it.” Shen Wenbai became even more brazen; aside from not actually sleeping with him, he did everything else.
Lin Xi was so angry his face turned red, and he shouted shyly, “You jerk! Give me the antidote, or I will kill you!”
“There is no antidote. This is your body’s true reaction; your body likes me.” Shen Wenbai did not stop, taking every advantage he could.
“Pah, you shameless person.”
“I am shameless. What are you going to do about it?”
Shen Wenbai kissed Lin Xi again. Lin Xi refused to compromise, wearing a look of swearing to defend his chastity to the death. “I am the young master of the Lin family. If you dare touch me, the Lin family will not let you go.”
“I heard there is a problem with the Lin family’s ancestral grave. You say, if I go out and solve this now, making the Lin family even more prosperous, will your father agree to marry you to me?”
Shen Wenbai’s words struck Lin Xi’s sore spot.
“Do not you dare mess around.” Lin Xi became nervous.
“Look at you, getting all nervous. I am just teasing you.” Shen Wenbai smirked. “But I am a person whose character is not very good. If you push me into a corner, I am capable of all sorts of bad things.”
“You really can solve the issue with the ancestral grave?” Lin Xi took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down. “If you can actually do what you say, I will sleep with you.”
The Lin family’s business profits had not been as good as before lately; otherwise, he would not have bought a haunted house to live in. Trading his body for the Lin family’s future was a very worthwhile bargain.
“Deal. I will go take a look at your ancestral grave this afternoon.” Shen Wenbai was beyond excited; he could finally eat meat!
The two of them lingered in the room for a long time, with Shen Wenbai unilaterally taking advantage of him, before they got dressed and prepared to go out. Lin Xi changed into a white shirt and black trousers, looking very sharp.
Shen Wenbai still wore his worn-out Taoist robe, looking handsome and unrestrained. He had a kind of devil-may-care aura.
Lin Xi suddenly thought of a very important question: “Do you have any money?”
“I do. How much do you need?”
“I am very expensive to keep; keeping me requires a lot of money. If you want to sleep with me, you have to support me.”
“I have already prepared that money.”
Shen Wenbai was happy. The gold he obtained in the previous world would come in handy. Once Yuan Xiao helped him bring it into the open, he could use the gold to support his partner.
The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Lin Xi was afraid that his relatives would give bad advice, so he brought Shen Wenbai to the Lin family’s ancestral grave alone.
Shen Wenbai walked around briefly and understood that someone had deliberately sabotaged the Lin family’s Feng Shui formation.
Shen Wenbai squatted beside a tombstone, reached out to touch it, and muttered to himself, “It is hard to guard against a thief within the family!”
“What did you say?” Lin Xi had not heard clearly and squatted down to ask.
“The matter with the ancestral grave was done by someone in your own family, probably out of jealousy. There is something buried near the grave; I just need to dig it up and destroy it.” Shen Wenbai said, “As for the internal thief in your family, I cannot help with that. After all, I have no status here right now.”
“Oh!” Lin Xi pretended not to understand and walked to the side to call his older brother.
“Brother? What did you say? Grandma had an accident?”
