Chapter 408: Big Worm and Insect

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After their bout of fiery entanglement, with her naked and radiant pink lithe body, Tina, who looked completely exhausted, held onto the thin comforter and slept soundly on the bed. It was only until evening had arrived that she finally woke up slowly.

Just as the girl opened her eyes, the black smoke behind Zhang Lisheng, who would usually sit beside his girlfriend after the lovemaking as he cultivated his secret method for several hours to while away the time, disappeared without a trace instantly.

“Oh baby, how I hope I’d wake up in your arms one day.” Staring at the cold gaze in her boyfriend’s eyes when he opened his eyes, Tina sat up from the bed and kissed him.

Feeling the warm embrace of his girlfriend, Zhang Lisheng’s black and white eyes peculiar to Chinese began to be filled with emotion. Smiling, he replied, “It’s a very simple request. I promise that I’ll be hugging you the next time you wake up.”

“Thank you, my little monster. Let’s get up and get dressed, we have to eat with Sheila and Tina for dinner and it’s quite late now.” Tina smiled sweetly and kissed her boyfriend. She looked at the electronic clock on the wall and jumped out of the bed naked before running to the bathroom separated by a transparent glass. She came to a halt in front of the bathroom door and turned around to hook a finger at her boyfriend. “But we still have time for a bath together.”

“Not wasting our time is a good habit…” The young man shrugged. He walked up to his girlfriend and embraced her before entering the bathroom together.

After a round of sweet bathing together, both of them changed into the same sky blue short-sleeved shirt, printed with a cap-wearing Puritan, walking a bulldog on the chest and red explosive tasteless ‘triumphalism’ word printed on the back; they also had a pair of beach pants on.

Tina had a beautiful face, golden hair, and a sexy body, so she always looked beautiful no matter what she wore. Unfortunately, when Zhang Lisheng put on this large short-sleeved shirt and shorts that were printed with strange patterns, he looked extremely comical.

When the girl saw that the clothes she bought him did not fit well, she immediately remarked with frustration, “Looks like the size I bought is too big! Ah damn it! I thought that I should let you wear more loosely since we’re at leisure, but I didn’t expect it to be much bigger!”

“I find wearing this shirt very comfortable.” Zhang Lisheng possessed great power in Witchcraft cultivation and was worshipped by millions of midgets like a god on Shrimp B1 Island. He also stood at the top of Earth, so how could he possibly be concerned about what he was wearing. Upon seeing his girlfriend’s frustration, he smiled and consoled, “What’s more important is that everyone would know that we’re a sweet couple when they see us. Isn’t this enough?”

When the girl heard her boyfriend, who rarely sweet-talks, said such words, she was astonished right away. Touched, she replied, “Oh baby, of course, this is enough…”

When she was about to kiss him, her phone began to ring from her handbag.

“What a kill-joy! This call must be from Sheila and Trish. They must have waited for us for a long time,” Tina pouted at Zhang Lisheng and took out her phone. Indeed, it was Sheila’s sexy-posed face that appeared on her phone screen. She opened the room door and walked out with the young man while picking up the call at the same time, “Hey Sheila dear, we’re already out. Erm, yeah, about 15 minutes later, I guess. Oh, wait, or perhaps 20 minutes for us to reach the restaurant.”

“Don’t worry, Tina. Take your time. I was just calling you to tell you in advance that Fred and Herbert are joining the dinner as well. They said that since the three of us are BFFs, they should befriend Lisheng too!”

“Oh, but Lisheng has something to discuss with us during dinner later… Ah, forget it. We can always discuss it after dinner. I guess Herbert and Fred’s request is pretty normal too, seeing that both of your ex-boyfriends know Lisheng too, right?”

“But you forgot a very important thing, dear. Their characters differ completely from Fred. You also know that Fred can be a little hot-tempered when he’s drunk…”

“Don’t worry, Sheila,” Tina interrupted her friend with a smile. “Fred is a little hot-tempered when he’s drunk, but he merely likes to have a little bicker and shows off the cute bear tattoo on her arm. He has never lost control before, so what is there to worry about?”

“I’m not worried about Fred, Tina. I’m worried about, erm, Lisheng,” Sheila whispered ambiguously. “I’m afraid Fred will get into a huge problem because of his accidental slip of temper. You know what I mean right, ‘huge problem’!”

“Oh, you’re worrying too much, Sheila. Lisheng i-is not as temperamental as you said. He won’t bring any ‘huge problem’ for Fred…” Tina was stunned for a while and instinctively defended her boyfriend. Even so, her tone sounded a little unconvincing.

“Not so ‘temperamental’? Okay, my dear. Let me tell you the latest news. A bizarre and horrifying event has taken place at Harvard campus this noon today. Hundreds of people have witnessed a huge worm that was over ten meters long breaking out from a young man’s belly in a manner that doesn’t obey the laws of physics. Then, it sprayed out acid and turned the eight companions of the young man into a juice that it then sucked clean before magically disappearing into nothingness. What do you think of this strange event?”

“Ah, my opinion is that nine people are dead so maybe the football game tomorrow will be postponed,” Tina was silent for a moment before replying weakly.

“Oh, that’s not the case, Tina! The place where the tragedy took place had no surveillance camera and the police could not find any abnormal traces at the scene. There was no blood, no clothes, no bodies, and no reports of missing persons so far, so, in the end, they came to two conclusions. It’s either that a caterpillar on the pine tree in the Harvard campus has evolved to resize its body to a size of several thousand times and could turn invisible and spurt out a corrosive substance that can melt a human and its clothes together before sucking them dry completely, or that the hot weather, excitement, delicious hot dogs, cold drinks, and so on have caused several hundreds of people to have an irritability illusion that made them imagine a big human-eating worm.”

“And the game will continue because the police came to the second conclusion?”

“Yes! Between ‘absolutely impossible’ and ‘impossible’, those who don’t know the truth will choose the latter but to us who have the ‘inside story’, the decision we make may differ completely.”

“Okay, okay, Sheila! I understand what you mean, but this is not as simple as you think. There are things that I can’t explain on the phone but don’t worry, I’ll make sure Lisheng controls his temper tonight,” Tina said loudly as she walked out of the low-rise building entrance with Zhang Lisheng.

It was already dark outside. The sounds of cicadas and birds chirping resonated from the crown of the trees by the roads while the bustling human noise in the distance was no longer as noisy.

Looking at the people walking in a group of three to five on the campus road not far away, Zhang Lisheng asked casually, “Tina, why do you want me to control my temper?”

“Oh baby, it’s like this. Sheila and Trish’s boyfriends, Herbert and Fred, will be joining us for dinner tonight and Fred may drink a little in the evening later,” Tina hung up and began to rack her brain trying to come up with a tactful explanation. “You know how annoying an alcoholic can be right? that’s why Sheila called hoping… that…”

“There’s no need to continue, Tina. I understand what you two mean now.” Zhang Lisheng smiled, unbothered. “Don’t worry, I’ll control my temper tonight.”

“Oh, baby! You’re so nice…” Tina pulled her boyfriend’s hand as they walked across the stone road. When they reached the end of the road and would make a turn, she suddenly said, touched, “No, the more you’re acting this way, the more I can’t let you feel wronged. Think about it carefully, you’re a man who is like Lord Christ in another world. I’m crazy. How can I ask you to endure the temper of a drunkard…”

“No, no, no. I’m not enduring anything.” Zhang Lisheng shrugged. “Do you know, Tina? The more powerful I am, the more I understand one principle. That is, the dragon flying in the sky should not feel enraged nor sad being offended by the insects in the mud, because the vast world that it sees is something that the insects can’t even imagine…”

“Oh baby, you really have the qualities of a ‘romantic killer’ sometimes, you know,” Upon hearing her boyfriend’s words, Tina said as she hung her head in dismay.

“But I haven’t finished my words yet. The fact that the ferocious dragon takes pity on the oblivious insects doesn’t mean that it would stop it from trampling them to death. Take a guess who is the one who prompts the dragon to let the insects offend it?” The young man put his arm around his girlfriend’s waist, as he rarely did, and asked gently.

“I don’t know. Another dragon or some other beast, maybe?” Upon hearing this question, the girl’s frustration had already disappeared without a trace. Relying on the bleak streetlights on the roadside and the bright moonlight in the sky, she turned her head to look at her boyfriend’s side face, before answering with a tender smile.

As both of them conversed with each other, the air surrounding them seemed to be filled with happiness. While Zhang Lisheng and Tina were strongly sweet and leisurely on the campus road, the air in a room on the second floor of the Gistel Business Hotel, which was only a street away from Harvard, was so heavy that it almost became frozen.

“Joyes is dead, dead out of the blue like this! Can anyone tell me what happened, actually?” Sitting cross-legged on the only double bed in the room was a young man wearing black-rimmed glasses, with a short coconut hairstyle shaved in the middle. With a deep voice, he asked.

Over ten young men were kneeling side by side around the big bed, with a grave expression and their heads lowered, not saying anything.

“Have you gone mute? It’s alright! Since our belief holds the brilliance of ‘truth’, I’ll use the ‘book’ he gave us to decide who should be the one to speak,” Looking around the back of the heads of various colors, the young short-haired man said with a gloomy tone.

As he was speaking, he reached out and picked up a few sheets of pages that were stuck together on the bed. He opened it gently and began to mutter a series of unknown spells under his breath.
