Chapter 68 - I Hear Im a Battle God (5)

translator: baumkuchen editors: serefina, glitterypanda

While 061 was still stuck in a stunned daze, Chi Xiaochi took it in stride and immediately began chatting with Ji Zuoshan.

Who would have thought that despite Ji Zuoshans cold and aloof face, seemingly detached from the seven human emotions, when he spoke, he had the dazed air of someone abnormally malleable.

Chi Xiaochi asked him, How come you can talk?

Ji Zuoshan, Am I not supposed to?

After that, he stopped speaking, trying to pretend that he had never appeared.

Chi Xiaochi barked out a laugh, This is great, Ive got one more person to chat with. Come out, quick, come out.

Ji Zuoshans

chat bubble

popped up once more. Im not very good at holding conversations.

Chi Xiaochi didnt at all mind. Im good at it.

Ji Zuoshan rarely spoke so much with other people, so he was unavoidably nervous. Then, then lets talk.

Chi Xiaochi got straight to the point, asking, Do you know why you died before?

061, Chi Xiaochi, even the heavens would be talked to death by you, you know.

But Ji Zuoshan didnt get angry.

His temperament had long been honed by Zhan Yanchao. Even if worse words entered his ears, he wouldnt be affected at all. Furthermore, what Chi Xiaochi was asking about was something that had truly happened.

He said, Because I shouldnt have trusted Zhan Yanchao so much.

He had reflected on his mistakes tens of thousands of times in his heart. Speaking them out now, although he was a little ashamed, he felt as if a weight had been lifted off his chest.

Chi Xiaochi said, Wrong. Your death, was because you didnt have the strength to nuke the Zergs out of orbit.

Ji Zuoshan,

061,

Chi Xiaochi drawled, Was it Zhan Yanchao who killed you?

Ji Zuoshan replied honestly, No. It was a mechanical Zerg that had been air dropped down from the sky.

Chi Xiaochi then asked, When those Alphas were having their way with you, why was Zhan Yanchao not there?

Ji Zuoshans eyes widened slightly. The Zerg invaded, he went off to investigate.

Chi Xiaochi asked, Your dream was to live a good life together with your younger siblings. Let me ask you, while the Zerg still exist, can you live a good life?

Ji Zuoshan clenched his teeth slightly. No.

Chi Xiaochi said, Do you want to live a good life this time around?

Ji Zuoshan, Yes.

Chi Xiaochi, Do you want to be an Alpha?

These words directly poked Ji Zuoshans sore spot. Yes!

Chi Xiaochi, Then work together with me, alright?

Ji Zuoshans tone was filled with undisguisable excitement, Okay!

061, The words themselves were good, but why was it that it sounded so much like an

MLM

drawing in an innocent youth.

After the MLM recruitment, Chi Xiaochi gave a proper self-introduction, My name is Chi Xiaochi.

Ji Zuoshan said obediently, Mister Chi.

Chi Xiaochi, Do you have anything you want to ask me?

Since signing the contract with the Lord God, Ji Zuoshan had been waiting in the darkness for a very long time. It was only until someone took over his body that he could once more open his eyes and see the light of day again.

He was still a Beta, he hadnt regressed.

Even though he wasnt in control of his body, to him, this reality was already far too wonderful. Although there were still some things that needed to be urgently dealt with, he first had to express his gratitude to Chi Xiaochi.

So he said, Your singing, it sounds good.

061, The words themselves were good, but as a person, one shouldnt forget their conscience.

Chi Xiaochi just smiled, not speaking any longer.

He furrowed his eyebrows slightly, pretending to slowly come to. The voice that came out of his dry and hoarse throat was a little rough, Miss Rosie.

Rosie was currently sitting next to him. Seeing him come to, she inwardly let out a sigh of relief. How are you feeling?

He shook his head and moistened his throat to make his voice sound a little clearer, My younger siblings

Ji Zuoshans eyes were watery from his high fever. His expression was gentle, and he looked a little ill at ease, but his attitude didnt seem too humble.

Rosie was a straightforward person. Ji Zuoshan not acting pitiful and pleading, actually made her a lot more relaxed.

&#k2026;&#k2026;What shed feared most was facing a scene where the other party would hug her thigh, tears streaming down his face as he thanked her deeply.

From his selling himself and becoming a human sacrifice, she could imagine what state the Ji family was in. And Ji Zuoshan only asked her to save his younger siblings, never mentioning his parents. From that, those younger siblings he mentioned should be the only members of the Ji family left.

Shed already helped him a bit, she might as well help him to the end.

But Rosie wasnt purely a kind person. She wanted to know if the person before her was worth saving.

So she asked, How is your fever? Is your mind clear?

Ji Zuoshan looked at her. Although his eyes were bloodshot, his mind was obviously very clear.

She asked, Will you go back to the Zhan family?

Ji Zuoshan just shook his head.

Rosies heart settled slightly. She continued to ask further, Why? This probably isnt the first time Zhan Yanchaos done this to you, why is it that you couldnt take it any longer this time?

She didnt want herself to become, as Mister Zhan had said, a tool for Ji Zuoshan to use to peeve Zhan Yanchao, and even less did she want Ji Zuoshan to be a fool willing to be abused by others.

If the person she saved was this kind of trash, she didnt need to help him fetch his siblings or whatever. After helping him get better, shed just throw him out again. After all, some people were just naturally lowly and born in need of a beating. She didnt need to waste her compassion on those kinds of people.

Ji Zuoshan was stunned for a moment. As he opened his mouth, the corners of his lips curved upwards, but a film of water spread over his eyes.

He didnt let the tears drip down. As he bowed his head, in his eyes were seven parts silent endurance, and the remaining three parts was a desolation he couldnt keep from flowing out. He once promised me, he wouldnt make me a human sacrifice, he would let me become the strongest Alpha.

Rosie was astounded.

Combining this with what Zhan Yanchao had loudly announced in the living room just now, Rosie understood now.

It was because Zhan Yanchao had promised to let him become an Alpha and also took care of his siblings, that Ji Zuoshan let him do as he wished.

But clearly, from how Zhan Yanchao had brazenly bellowed out Ji Zuoshan is my Omega, he completely hadnt taken his earlier promise to heart, or might even have been lying to Ji Zuoshan.

Rosie was much more at ease now. She propped up her jaw with one hand and stared at Ji Zuoshan with her azure, cat-like eyes, a little ruminative. Youve got lofty ambitions. But becoming the strongest Alpha isnt that a little too lofty?

She thought that Ji Zuoshan would argue with her, unwilling to yield, like most people of their age and enumerate on his own outstanding points, but Ji Zuoshans response was mild. After giving her the address to his younger siblings home, he then gently and respectfully said a thank you Miss Rosie before closing his eyes once more.

Rosie stared, stunned, at Ji Zuoshans face for a moment and laughed softly.

A few days ago, her hitting on Ji Zuoshan was because shed taken a liking to his handsome face.

It had to be said, this cool temperament of Ji Zuoshans was full of an abnormally alluring air, which made others especially want to strip off his clothes and see how he looked like with his face flushed and sweaty and his Adams apple rolling.

However, what she actually wanted to see now was where Ji Zuoshans confidence stemmed from.

After all, shed learned not long ago, that when you talked about the current strongest Alpha in school, everyone would say it was the second young master of the Zhan family, Zhan Yanchao.

As for Ji Zuoshans name, it was listed in the middle of the ranks, utterly unremarkable.

After Ji Zuoshan closed his eyes, Chi Xiaochi came online once more.

There was sincere surprise in Ji Zuoshans voice, Thank you for remembering my younger siblings.

Chi Xiaochi said, From now on, if you have any requests, just voice them, dont bother beating around the bush with me. If not for the fact that this body of yours was still dizzy when you left the Zhan home and needed to slowly wake up for it to be natural, I would have long since brought it up with Rosie.

To the side, 061 comforted Ji Zuoshan, Xiaochis acting is very good, you dont have to worry.

Ji Zuoshan was a little pleasantly surprised, as well as a little shy.

Hed just seen Chi Xiaochis performance in the rearview mirror.

Hed never thought that this would be how hed look with a little self-confidence.

He found it very novel, and really liked this appearance of his. Silently, he made up his mind to learn more from Mister Chi in the future.

You praised my singing, Chi Xiaochi said, sounding very pleased, Im doing what I ought to. No ones ever praised me like this.

061,

Ji Zuoshan said, It really does sound very good. Ive never heard that song you were singing before, can you sing it again?

Before 061s dont could leave his mouth, Chi Xiaochis voice gave him a direct hit to the soul.

Only after Ji Zuoshan sang along for a verse did 061 realise why the boy was able to praise Chi Xiaochi so sincerely.

Starting from the baseline of the point upto which Chi Xiaochis singing had run off tune, Ji Zuoshan had run at least another 100 metre sprint.

Chi Xiaochi praised him, So smart, you picked it up instantly.

Ji Zuoshan was a little embarrassed. En.

Chi Xiaochi said, Do you know what we call this in the world I come from?

061 thought, it should be tone deaf, probably.

Chi Xiaochi said smugly,

Soulmates

.

061,

My son

.

Ji Zuoshan was curious. What are soulmates?

Chi Xiaochi asked enthusiastically, Have you heard of

Yu Boya and Zhong Ziqi

?

As a spectator to their singing, 061 wished he had never heard of it.

Ji Zuoshan had been reborn, and had fulfilled his wish, managing to leave the Zhan Yanchao who had stifled him. His heart at ease, he simply pricked up his ears and listened to Chi Xiaochi talk nonsense about this and that.

It was like Chi Xiaochi was raising a little seal who only knew how to clap. He would

clap his flippers together

, unimaginably obedient.

Seeing this, 061s heart was warm, but also a little uneasy.

Rosies home didnt have a decent guest room to spare at the moment, so they could only pack up the storage room in the attic for Ji Zuoshan to stay in temporarily.

The attic was very big and could hold six to seven beds. Having seen Zhan Yanchaos craziness today, Rosie planned to bring over the children living in the su
