Chapter 2842 Why Does My Wife Follow Me Every Day? 01

Quick Transmigration Scheme.

Jin Chen hadn't forgotten the words Tao Wu had hastily uttered when confronting him, words he didn't want him to hear.

The supreme god nurtured his beloved with a sacred tree, but even with such nurturing, there will be deficiencies...

What is missing?

That idiot Ling Gun Gun panicked when he pressed her for answers, and turned his back to him, clearly trying to hide something.

Jin Chen narrowed his eyes, picked up the fur ball that had slumped down in guilt, and walked into Bai Ze's controlled area.

Bai Ze stood in front of the control panel, heard footsteps, turned around and saw Jin Chen carrying Ling Gun Gun.

"You've worked hard on the mission."

Jin Chen let go of Ling Gun Gun, who was picked up by Bai Ze, who gently stroked his back with his fingertips.

"What secrets are you hiding from me?" Jin Chen cut to the chase, his face stern. "Tell me the truth."

Bai Ze: "A secret is a secret because we still need to wait."

Jin Chen paused for two seconds, then turned around, sat down on the sofa, and sank into it, leaning against the cold barrier wall.

"I want to know." Jin Chen looked up at Bai Ze, her voice full of conviction. "Now."

Bai Ze remained silent.

He looked down and met the gaze of Ling Gun Gun in his arms.

Bai Ze, carrying Ling Gun Gun, slowly walked to the barrier wall.

Ripples spread across the barrier wall, and the misty light flowed slowly, receding slightly to both sides.

Deep within the misty light, Chen Shu opened his eyes and softly called out to Jin Chen.

Without a second thought, Jin Chen's body reacted before his mind could process it. He took a step forward, passed through the barrier entrance, and hugged Chen Shu with considerable force.

Chen Shu was knocked back slightly by his bump, but chuckled softly, reached out and hugged him back, gently patting his back with his palm, "What's wrong?"

Jin Chen: "You're all hiding something from me."

Chen Shu looked into his eyes, "It's not that I'm hiding it from you... it's just that it's not the right time to tell you yet."

"When is it time?" Jin Chen asked, displeased, glancing up at him. "Wait until you've all made your plans before letting me know?"

Chen Shu did not answer, but only gave Jin Chen a light kiss on the lips.

Before Jin Chen could react, Chen Shu kissed her again, this time on the corner of her lips.

"You..." Jin Chen wanted to say something.

Chen Shu kissed him again, this time on the tip of his nose.

Jin Chen: "..."

He completely lost his temper.

"I learned all my rascal tendencies from you, Master. Why don't you teach me anything good?" Jin Chen sighed.

For example, don't always try to fool him with kisses and get away with it.

Chen Shu looked at him, who seemed to want to get angry but couldn't, and the smile in his eyes deepened.

He cupped Jin Chen's face in his hands, "Before you learn the whole truth, I will find the missing part for you."

Jin Chen frowned, genuinely puzzled. Aside from the past he hadn't yet recalled, he believed his soul lacked nothing.

Chen Shu didn't answer, but gently tapped his heart with her fingertip.

Jin Chen lowered his head, then looked up at Chen Shu, resigned to himself, "...Is he stupid?"

Otherwise, how come everyone else knows but he doesn't?

Chen Shu was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing.

Bai Ze, who was watching from outside the barrier, couldn't help but suppress his laughter. Ling Gun Gun in his arms was laughing so hard that the whole little dumpling was shaking, and he covered his mouth with his paw.

Jin Chen glanced at him sideways, "What are you laughing at?"

Bai Ze shrugged, picked up Ling Gun Gun and left, leaving them some space.

Inside the barrier, Chen Shu kissed Jin Chen again and whispered in his ear, "Take a rest. You've worked hard, young master."

Jin Chen grumbled in dissatisfaction, turned her head away to avoid being kissed, but still held Chen Shu and rocked him gently before falling asleep, sleeping soundly.

After a long time, Chen Shu summoned Bai Ze.

"How is the repair of the little Pixiu's main body going?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Gun Gun looked at Bai Ze with longing eyes again.

Bai Ze looked down at it, a faint pang of heartache flashing in its silver eyes, "The soul has stabilized, but..."

"The damage to my body was too severe. I self-destructed to protect my master back then. The repair speed is too slow if I rely on my own strength."

Ling Gun Gun understood Bai Ze's words. It lowered its head and scratched the ground with its little paws.

Chen Shu nodded, his fingertip lightly touching Ling's fluffy brow. "Come here."

Ling Gun Gun was placed on the ground by Bai Ze and rolled around nervously.

Chen Shu bent down, reached out, and placed his palm above Ling Gungun's head.

"Go back to your original body," Chen Shu said softly.

Ling Gun Gun blinked, hesitated for a moment, and looked at Bai Ze.

Bai Ze nodded, and in the next instant, Ling Gun Gun's figure became illusory and disappeared into the jade pendant that Bai Ze used to guard his true form.

The golden light then enveloped the jade pendant, and within the light, the faint phantom of a small beast, resembling a lion, appeared—the true form of the Pixiu.

After an unknown amount of time, the golden light gradually faded.

The jade pendant returned to Bai Ze's palm. Holding the pendant, Bai Ze bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, Master."

Chen Shu waved his hand, not disturbing his sleeping lover in his arms.

"When Jin Chen wakes up, tell him that Ling Gun Gun needs to return to its original body to slumber and repair itself, and will not be able to carry out missions with him in the short term."

Chen Shu instructed, "As for the new auxiliary system, you can arrange it. Choose one that is... obedient."

"Yes, Master," Bai Ze replied.

-

When Jin Chen woke up again, he found himself lying on the sofa in the lounge.

The barrier wall closed again, and golden light flowed slowly behind it. Chen Shu's figure disappeared into the depths once more, becoming indistinct.

Jin Chen sat up and rubbed his temples.

I slept so soundly that when I woke up I felt disoriented and didn't know what day it was, but I felt great, better than ever before.

He stared at the barrier wall for a while, a slight smile playing on his lips, before finally remembering his business.

"Zero!" Jin Chen exclaimed.

The door to the lounge slid open, and Bai Ze walked in, holding a jade pendant in his hand. The Pixiu's true form was still asleep and could not transform for the time being.

"It needs to rest for a while," Bai Ze explained to Jin Chen, adding at the end.

Jin Chen reached out and gently touched the jade pendant with his fingertips.

"How long will it take?" he asked.

"Based on the time required to complete the mission, it can take anywhere from one world to two or three."

Jin Chen didn't ask any more questions. It was always a good thing that the injuries could be completely healed.

“So,” Bai Ze paused, then looked at Jin Chen, “in the next mission world, I will arrange a new auxiliary system for you. What are the requirements for the system?”

Jin Chen thought for a moment.

He didn't actually have any special requests, only saying, "Don't be too noisy, don't act on your own, and don't give random ideas."

For him, since he wasn't a zero score, the system was just a tool. As long as it didn't interfere with his tasks and finding a wife, it was fine.

Bai Ze nodded, "Okay."

He raised his hand and made a gesture in the air.

A screen appeared, displaying countless system numbers and basic data scrolling rapidly.

Bai Ze tapped a few of them with his fingertips, reorganizing and filtering the data stream before finally settling on a single point.

"Number 999, the new system of the Rescue Department, excellent basic rating." Bai Ze looked at Jin Chen, "How is it?"

Jin Chen shrugged indifferently, "It's up to you."

"Then that's settled." Bai Ze turned off the light screen. "The teleportation has been arranged. You can make some preparations."

Quick Transmigration Bureau Teleportation Area.

This place is always bustling, with countless mission takers coming and going. Some have just finished their missions and look exhausted, while others are eager to enter the new world. The beams of light light up and then go out from time to time.

Jin Chen stood in front of the designated teleportation array, with many mission participants secretly watching him.

Jin Chen is a celebrity in the Quick Transmigration Bureau; any one of his titles is enough to attract attention.

The teleportation array lit up with a blue light.

At the same time, a mechanical voice echoed in his mind:

【Dear Lord Jinchen, hello. It's a pleasure to meet you. I am the newly appointed auxiliary system of the Rescue Department, number 999.】

[You have been successfully bound together. During this world quest, I will provide you with necessary quest prompts and assistance.]

【999 is dedicated to serving you.】

Jin Chen hummed in agreement.

Just as the teleportation array's countdown reached zero, Jin Chen suddenly spoke, "Let's go, Cold Remedy."

999: […]
