Tomb Raider: Call Me Dragon Vein Cleaner

Chapter 82 The counselor enters the situation personally

Chen Wenjin took a sip of his drink and continued:

"Every member of Corpse Dog has a tacit understanding that when they are about to die, they must be cremated by their descendants."

Cheng Feng took a sip and said softly:

"Is there any explanation for this?"

Chen Wenjin nodded: "This brings us to the side effects of the Corpse Dog Catching."

Chen Wenjin continued, his face showing worry.

"All members of Corpse Dog will encounter misfortune in their later years, and their flesh will come back to life."

"It's not their flesh that's come back to life, but the flesh of the ancient corpses they've eaten!"

Cheng Feng said quietly.

Chen Wenjin suddenly looked up at Cheng Feng.

"You know about the Corpse Dog organization!"

"You underestimate me. Besides what you've mentioned, I also know that Qi Yu from the Xisha archaeological team is actually a member of the Corpse Dog Dig team."

At this point, a hint of curiosity flashed in Cheng Feng's eyes.

According to the information he knew, Qi Yu was later fed Corpse-Eating Pills, which produced a strange reaction with the flesh of the ancient corpse.

Qi Yu was rejuvenated, which is why Wu Sansheng and the others didn't care about the disappearance of the 'fake' Huo Ling and Chen Wenjin.

With Qi Yu, a real person who has reversed the aging process, it is already more than enough to satisfy 'its' appetite.

"Since you already know, I'll be frank. Xiaoling and I joined the archaeological team to find a way to solve the side effects of the Corpse Dog Catching."

"Not only that, you also know a lot about the secret of immortality, don't you?"

Chen Wenjin chuckled, leaned down and rested his head on his hand, holding the wine glass in front of his eyes with his other hand, and said absentmindedly:

"That's immortality! Who can resist its allure?"

"So you absolutely have to go to this Heavenly Palace on the Clouds, is that right?"

Cheng Feng's words made Chen Wenjin look away from her wine glass. She stared at Cheng Feng and then smiled.

"You must know, right? Huo Ling likes you."

Cheng Feng paused in his drinking, then said somewhat awkwardly:

Why are you suddenly bringing this up?

"Cheng Feng, you don't want to disappoint a woman who likes you, do you?"

Cheng Feng was completely stunned. Good heavens, Miss Wen Jin from Japan, please calm down.

"You're trying to use this to convince me to help you?"

Cheng Feng looked at Chen Wenjin with some surprise, as Chen Wenjin would never normally say such slightly teasing things to him.

Although they trusted each other, they always maintained a certain distance, somewhat like the saying "a gentleman's friendship is as light as water."

Chen Wenjin chuckled, then, after taking another sip of wine, said in a slightly tipsy voice:

"Just kidding!"

Then Chen Wenjin sat up straight, her face becoming serious.

"Cheng Feng, I am very grateful to you for leading us out of that vortex, but there are some things I must do."

"Then I can only wish you great success!"

After saying that, Cheng Feng drank the last glass of wine.

Although Cheng Feng knew that the Heavenly Palace on the Clouds would definitely also give out cleanup quests.

However, it is also the focus of all forces that covet immortality. Once you fall into the trap, it may not be so easy to leave.

"Thank you for your kind words..."

Chen Wenjin started to stutter, and Cheng Feng knew she had reached her limit.

"It's getting late. I'll go and call Huo Ling to help you back to your room to rest."

As he spoke, Cheng Feng got up to leave.

As she passed Chen Wenjin, she suddenly grabbed Cheng Feng's sleeve and said haltingly:

"Xiaoling is asleep... I can manage by myself..."

As she spoke, she used Cheng Feng's help to gradually pull herself up from the chair.

"Chen Wenjin, don't act crazy when you're drunk! Let me go. It won't hurt if Xiaoling gets up and goes back to sleep."

As Cheng Feng spoke, he tried to pry open Chen Wenjin's hand that was gripping him, but the drunkard was holding on too tightly, and forcing her would easily hurt her.

At this point, Chen Wenjin was completely dependent on Cheng Feng to avoid lying under the table, so it was definitely impossible for her to walk on her own.

"I'm really fed up. Don't ever ask me to drink with you again!"

As he spoke, Cheng Feng lifted Chen Wenjin up with one hand, pushed open the door, and walked towards the guest room on the right.

When they arrived at Chen Wenjin's room, it was dark and the lights were off.

Cheng Feng was too lazy to look for the switch, so he carried Chen Wenjin to the bedside, bent down and put her on the bed.

"Let go, you're home!"

Squatting by the bed, Cheng Feng grabbed Chen Wenjin's hand that was pulling at his clothes on his shoulder.

"Um……"

With a soft hum, Chen Wenjin suddenly hugged Cheng Feng's neck, pressing her hot cheek against Cheng Feng's neck.

"Are you... a man...?"

Cheng Feng froze for a moment, then stopped struggling and rolled into a ball with Chen Wenjin.

Soon, pieces of clothing were scattered everywhere.

"You...be gentle..."

In another room, Huo Ling was fast asleep, wrapped in a blanket, her even breathing softly echoing in the room.

The sounds of insects chirping outside the house were accompanied by the occasional meow of a stray cat.

the next day.

Cheng Feng woke up amidst a strong smell of alcohol and a strange odor.

He turned to look at Chen Wenjin beside him, then silently released the handle from his hand, leaving a faint red mark on it.

"A sin!"

He noticed a subtle change in Chen Wenjin's heartbeat, but Chen Wenjin remained fast asleep.

Cheng Feng knew he had to leave.

Then, carefully removing his hands and feet from under the covers, he put on his coat, picked up his other clothes, and left Chen Wenjin's room.

After Cheng Feng left, Chen Wenjin opened her eyes, rolled over and lay flat on her back, looking up at the ceiling.

"Sansheng, I'm sorry."

Chen Wenjin is actually very much like Chen Pi Asi at heart; she has the kind of personality that won't give up until she gets what she wants.

She might hesitate when faced with a choice between love and her ideals, but she will ultimately choose her ideals.

In the original story, in order to find a way to solve the hidden dangers of immortality, she did not see Wu Sansheng for more than 30 years.

Finally, he imprisoned himself inside a meteorite.

Cheng Feng's skills and strength gave her hope, so she didn't hesitate to use herself as bait.

They insisted on dragging Cheng Feng into the situation, because only with Cheng Feng's help could they have a sliver of hope of obtaining the fruit of immortality.

After letting out a soft sigh, Chen Wenjin turned over and closed her eyes. What's done is done, and it's too late for her to regret it.

On the other side, Cheng Feng went back to his room, washed up, and changed into clean clothes.

"Alas, wine and women have ruined me! From this day forward, I will abstain from alcohol!"

Cheng Feng slammed his hand on the table and said righteously.

As the sun rose, Huo Ling, who had finally had a good night's sleep, stretched and sat up in bed.

Then I started getting dressed and washing up, ready to begin a new day.

She pushed open the door to fetch water in the yard and found that Cheng Feng was already brushing his teeth.

The two greeted each other, and Cheng Feng rinsed his mouth with a normal expression, saying:

"I'm going out to buy breakfast later. You can tell me what you want to eat."

"I want tofu pudding, and remember to add extra sugar, I like it sweet."

Cheng Feng glanced at Huo Ling with disdain. What kind of good person would eat sweet tofu pudding?

However, since it was considered unlucky to have a dispute so early in the morning, Cheng Feng chose not to stoop to her level.
