Chapter 922 29th Birthday
Shi Rong just felt extremely unbearable.
She hated the summer heat. No matter how little she wore, or even nothing at all, it would make her feel upset.
In order to make Shi Rong's life more comfortable, Shi Yang and Chu Yu would often bring people to make various kinds of frozen fruits and cold drinks for Shi Rong.
Try to help her get through this unusually hot summer safely.
One and a half months later.
At a high price, the high-tech constant temperature clothing customized for everyone has arrived.
Each person was given one piece of clothing, and after confirming that they fit, someone was ordered to make the next batch as a backup and for replacement.
Even Huo Jiuzhou and his companions who were far away in North City received constant temperature clothing gift packages from Shi Rong. They were grateful for Shi Rong's thoughtfulness.
They are also using their own methods to try their best to fill the financial gap left by Shihong.
As Dongcheng gradually enters the cool early autumn.
August 21st is Shi Yang’s 29th birthday.
After today, he will officially turn 30.
Shi Yang is a typical Leo, domineering and strong, gentle and considerate, and occasionally narcissistic.
Some people say that he is an absolute romantic and love-brained person.
Shi Rong, however, believes that Shi Yang is a rare and best partner!
After all, he is the person who loves Shi Rong the most in the world. When it comes to doting on his wife's younger sister, even the always self-important Huo Jiuzhou is slightly inferior.
Time flies so fast. In a blink of an eye, the man who grew up with her is almost 30 years old.
In order to let Shi Yang put himself in his shoes and have a good last birthday in his 20s.
Shi Rong sent Chu Zhao and others to send the birthday star away early in the morning.
She was alone with three women and Ying Miaomiao, busy from top to bottom.
"Hey? Mingxing, that firework is stuck crooked, straighten it up quickly.
Xia Zhi, stop stealing cherries. They are for Shi Yang to make cakes. Ask someone to bring two more boxes from the cold storage.
Xinyue, take Miao Man and the others downstairs and help me wash and cut the vegetables. I'll cook them later."
The three women received the order and nodded in unison.
"Okay, beautiful~"
10 o'clock in the morning.
When Xie Yixiu and Du Wu rushed back from North City, Shi Rong happened to be waiting for him at the door.
"Brother Yi Xiu, you're finally back. How was your trip? Did everything go well?"
Shi Rong opened his arms and took the initiative to hug Xie Yixiu, who was tired from the journey.
The man was so concerned about the beauty that he curled the corners of his lips unconsciously, stretched out his hands, and wrapped them around her waist which was so slender that it could be held in one hand.
"Don't worry, Xiaoshi Rong, we are all fine. It's just that we haven't seen each other for a long time, and I miss you so much."
Shi Rong smiled gently.
"I miss you guys too. There have been several times when I wanted to call you without telling anyone, but I was afraid you were following me and it would be inconvenient for me to answer."
Xie Yixiu raised his hand and touched Shi Rong's head.
"Call if you want. As long as it's your call, I, your brother, will do everything I can to answer it even if I'm in a cage."
After the enthusiasm, Xie Yixiu got back to the topic.
"Let's find a quiet place first. I have something important to tell you."
Shi Rong nodded.
"Okay, let's go to my room. There's no one there right now. I'll ask Huo Yan and Huo Xiao to guard the door and won't let anyone in."
Xie Yixiu also nodded and accepted it with pleasure.
"Okay, let's go."
The first thing Shi Rong did when he returned to the room was to take Xie Yixiu's luggage, push the man into the bathroom, and take a comfortable hot bath.
After changing into a fitted casual home outfit, Xie Yixiu blow-dried his hair.
"Brother, after you come back this time, will you leave again?"
Xie Yixiu put the used hair dryer back in its place and shook his head.
"I won't leave for now, because Du Wu and I have almost learned everything we need to investigate.
I wanted to come back two days ago, but Du Wu said that he would come back before anything was confirmed.
I couldn’t explain it all to you at once, so I stayed for another week.”
As Xie Yixiu spoke, he grabbed Shi Rong's cold little hand, stretched out two slender fingers, and took her beating pulse.
Seeing this, Shi Rong couldn't help but feel mixed emotions.
"Brother is still the same as before. No matter how long we haven't seen each other, he always takes my pulse first when he comes back to make sure I'm healthy.
Don't worry, I'm fine."
Xie Yixiu nodded without commenting.
"Indeed, it seems you've been doing well recently.
With the care of Huo Jiuzhou and Shi Yang, your body is getting better and better.
The only drawback is that you're still so thin. Can't you eat more?"
Shi Rong was speechless.
"Brother, I already eat a lot every day. If I eat more, I will become a pig, but I still can't gain weight.
My weight has always been around 92 catties, never exceeding 95 kg at most, and there’s nothing I can do about it.”
Tsk tsk tsk!
Xie Yixiu smacked his lips in disappointment.
"If Mingxing and the others heard what you said, they would be so angry that they would die.
People work hard every day to lose weight, but they can't compare to you eating and drinking well three times a day. Who can you complain to?"
Shi Rong laughed again.
"Okay, brother, stop teasing me."
The two of them took Du Wu, who was floating in the air, and sat on the suede sofa.
"So, who is that Wen Ruyi?"
When this matter was mentioned, Xie Yixiu suddenly put away the smile on his lips and was filled with melancholy.
"His true form is indeed a kind of ghost, and it is a type we have never encountered before - nightmare."
"nightmare?"
Shi Rong was stunned.
"What it is?"
Xie Yixiu picked up the warm water on the Lantian jade tea table and took a sip.
"The ancestor of Nightmare, its earliest incarnation, was the 'Dream Devourer' that served beside the Wind God Emperor in ancient times.
It has six horns on its head, a slender body, three legs and two tails, completely white eyes, a short and round mouth, and a head like an antelope or elk.
Their greatest characteristic is that they can increase their own power and achieve immortality by absorbing human dreams or lifespan.
Later, because the Dream Devourer committed many evil deeds and killed countless people, the Wind God Emperor was furious and demoted it to a wild animal and sent it to the mortal world to train for several years.
During this period, the 'Dream Devouring Beast' not only did not stop doing evil, but also transformed into a human form during years of cultivation, and was eventually destroyed during the Tang Dynasty.
A Taoist master who learned from Tianshan subdued him, completely refined him, and his soul returned to the animal realm.
Unfortunately, he overlooked one important thing at that time, that is, after the 'Dream Devouring Beast' transformed into a human form, it had married and had children in the mortal world.
This Wen Ruyi is his son.
In short, he is a half-human, half-evil beast, nicknamed "Nightmare".
Not only did he inherit his mother's human characteristics, he was also eloquent, witty, and well-versed in the ways of the world.
And like his late father, he can achieve immortality by absorbing human dreams or lifespan.
In his daily life, he often approaches powerful and wealthy politicians under the guise of "astrology and divination".
Help them secretly solve some problems that ordinary people cannot touch, get a corresponding amount of commission, and make a living.
When the employer has lost their usefulness, they will suck out their lifespan and choose the next suitable target.
This time, he set his sights on the elders of the Chu, Xing, and Song families, and persuaded them to believe in his superpowers without a doubt.
