Godslayer, King's Face Card Perpetual Motion Machine

Chapter 16 Borrowing Yang to Restore Life

"Don't worry, no one will take it from you. But the three of you should buy some clothes that make you look younger. When you get to Qiye's house later, be nice to him. I'll tell Aunt Wang that you're Qiye's classmates."

"Don't worry, Brother Ling!"

The three readily agreed, and Shen Qingzhu even wiped his face, revealing a shy yet obedient smile. Baili Tuming almost spat in his face at the sight, but fortunately Cao Yuan covered his mouth in time.

After the four entered the mall, Baili Tuming went straight to the most luxuriously decorated store and made them change into clean and well-behaved clothes. Even Ling Yunxiao was given a beige cartoon down jacket. Ling Yunxiao silently changed the down jacket in his hand into a plain one, and then moved away from the three of them.

Who else lives in Qiye's family?

Baili Tuming suddenly spoke up while picking out clothes for Qiye.

"I've already made my selection; you just need to pay in a bit."

Ling Yunxiao waved a tracksuit and a cardigan in his hand and smiled in response. Baili Tuming was about to take a few more items when his hand was stopped.

“It’s not appropriate to buy too much. Let’s just go to the supermarket and buy some everyday items. Aunt Qiye is a very frugal person. She’s reluctant to eat luxury goods and supplements, and she even gives you change.”

"Oh, alright."

Baili Pangpang withdrew his hand from the bag and watch, and the group went to the supermarket in the basement of the mall.

"Cangnan actually has king crabs! Boss, four, please. And this Aurora too... four plus... three, seven in total."

These fruits look delicious! I'll take a box of these, and a box of these too, and this one, and this one…

Hmm... are they slaughtering a sheep? Give me a whole one! Yes, a whole one. Half a beef sheep, I'll take all of these. Two ribs of pork, please, pretty lady, cut them all into small pieces, thank you...

This chicken is no good, we can't eat it. Look...this one..."

Baili Tuming wanted to go on a shopping spree, but Ling Yunxiao and Shen Qingzhu had already held down his left and right hands at the same time.

"There are only four of us, we can't carry any more. If you don't want Qi Ye to beat you to death, don't buy anything. Don't buy anything, we have enough."

"Okay! What do you guys think? How about we go out and buy two big gold bracelets as a gift for Auntie?"

Baili Pangpang was finally able to swipe his card, and he was clearly still a little unsatisfied.

"Stop, hold on, there's too much stuff for us to explain, please don't buy it."

Ling Yunxiao waved his hands repeatedly. Qi Ye's temperament came from Wang Fang's upbringing; his family was the kind of people who didn't like to owe others anything. It was fine if they bought him some food and drinks, but buying anything else would make Wang Fang uncomfortable.

In the end, Baili Tuming was dumbfounded after paying the bill; he simply couldn't carry all of these things. They had to make two trips to get the items to an empty stairwell before storing them in Baili Tuming's [Free Space].

When they returned to the small building, the four of them appeared at Lin Qiye's door like thieves. One of them acted as lookout while the other two blocked Baili Tuming, and then they took out all the things.

"Bang bang bang..."

"Ah Jin, it's probably Dr. Ling coming. Go open the door quickly."

Yang Jin opened the door, and large and small packages were immediately thrown at him. He was almost crushed by the pile of things at the door, but luckily Lin Qiye reacted quickly.

"Dr. Ling, what are you doing? You just came over for a meal, is it too much to spend so much money?"

Wang Fang's expression was clearly not good, and she looked at the door in surprise.

"Happy New Year, Auntie!" Three neat and well-behaved voices rang out beside Ling Yunxiao. Baili Pangpang and the other two did their best to pretend to be good children, smiling and bowing to greet him.

Ling Yunxiao waved the shopping bag in his hand, moved closer to Wang Fang, and casually handed the bag to Yang Jin.

"Aunt Wang, you've misunderstood me. These two pieces of clothing are the only ones I bought for A-Jin."

Hehe... The rest is none of my business. These are Qi Ye's classmates. They're really close to Qi Ye and want to spend the New Year at your house. This chubby guy is from Nanjing University of Technology. He can eat a lot, and he especially loves seafood and meat. He bought these because he wants to eat them himself.

This kid's name is Cao Yuan. He loves to eat fruit, and he bought these for himself. He was just thinking of mooching a meal over the New Year, so he brought them all here.

this……"

“Auntie, my name is Shen Qingzhu. I am an orphan and can’t afford those things. But I’m not picky about food, and I can help you with chores.”

Before Ling Yunxiao could speak, Shen Qingzhu came over on his own. He was wearing a white wool sweater and was smiling shyly and obediently, even a little pitifully.

Lin Qiye looked at the harmless Shen Qingzhu and was very curious about what kind of ghost had possessed him. Little did he know that this was the same Shen Qingzhu he used to be in front of the orphanage director, always so well-behaved and sensible.

The items were moved into the house and instantly filled the living room.

"Please sit down! Qi Ye, come and help me tidy up. A Jin, wash the fruit and pour drinks for the guests."

"Auntie, let me help you tidy up."

"Auntie, I can cook, I'll help you."

Seeing that Cao Yuan and Shen Qingzhu had gone to help, Baili Tuming was so anxious he wanted to spin around in circles. He really didn't know how to do housework.

"Brother, it's snowing!"

Yang Jin looked out at the heavy snowfall and exclaimed in surprise. Lin Qiye also walked to the window, gazing at the snow outside, when he suddenly seemed to remember something. He got up to leave, but Ling Yunxiao subtly grabbed his wrist.

"Worried about Leng Xuan?"

"Brother Leng Xuan is probably keeping watch somewhere near my house right now. With this much snow, I'm worried..."

"He's staying in the snow to preserve the joy and laughter here. We've already started our operation; Leng Xuan won't be able to stay for long before he has to go back. Don't wander off and make your aunt worry."

"Thanks……"

Lin Qiye withdrew his gaze and looked at his aunt in the kitchen, who was being coaxed into laughter by Shen Qingzhu. He suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of peace.

"You're thanking me already? Then how will you thank me for the big gift I'm about to give you?"

"You've already gone to so much trouble, what more do you want to give?"

Lin Qiye raised an eyebrow, his face showing some hesitation and disapproval.

"There's something you probably don't know. Do you remember? It was your first day of school, and I had dinner at your house. Actually, I came to deliver your medical report that day. You and Ajin are both in good health, but Aunt Wang has some health problems due to overwork. Although they are minor ailments, they still need to be taken seriously."

Besides bringing the dead back to life, my Divine Ruins also has the ability to extend lifespan, as you can probably guess. Therefore, my grand gift to you is to add ten years to Aunt Wang's lifespan. What, are you going to refuse?"

Lin Qiye fell silent. He might have refused even if it meant extending his lifespan. But that person was his aunt, whom he cared about most, and he simply couldn't bring himself to refuse.

"Alright, go and call your aunt into the room and tell her I have something to say to her. Then, you come out and stand guard at the door, making sure Ah Jin doesn't notice, otherwise we'll have trouble explaining."

Ling Yunxiao spoke softly, and Lin Qiye nodded with a face full of excitement and gratitude.
