After signing the mysterious scroll and making sure it worked right, Shao Cheng has finally cured the poisoned young man before allowing some of their people from the river and lakes to handle most of the actions when dealing with the Ding Family.

Of course, Shao Cheng and Ren Yuan have been watching on the sideline just in case something unexpected happened, fortunately, everything has worked out in the end and there wasn't any additional trouble that has appeared.

Although Shao Cheng was teased by the playful Ren Yuan who started spouting nonsense about his unusual physical trait of always getting in trouble or trouble coming at him, which didn't act up and causing him an endless disappointment.

It appeared that Ren Yuan was already prepared to handle the trouble and was ready to ask for a great reward after everything is over, which was letting him also wear a woman dress.

So it wasn't Shao Cheng's fault if his body moves first before his brain has caught up and Ren Yuan end up falling down from the tree that they are sitting on.

"..."

"..."

It took an entire three hours before everything is deal with while Shao Cheng has been patiently coaxing the stunned Ren Yuan who was showing a pitiful expression and entirely looking adorable in his eyes, causing a restless emotion of wanting to bully him.

Fortunately, he was able to restrain such unexpected emotions, especially during such an important situation, although the two men from the river and lakes are exceptionally skilled in cleaning up after a massacre and leaving evidence behind for the enemies to follow without feeling that they are being lured in a different direction.

Shortly, Shao Cheng receives a different scroll from Ren Yuan, which is the list of people that weren't home in the Ding Residence and also needed to be taken care of.

Even though some people are innocent, however, one has to completely cut off any roots that can become a great danger ahead of time.

As for going so far as to massacre an entire family, it was already a natural thing for Shao Cheng to do because it was how he has survived in such a chaotic and turbulent world.

Different from other people that might have chosen a different path if they were in his place, Shao Cheng can't live by simply being nice, always showing mercy and compassion to other people.

Shao Cheng has transmigrated in the center of power, having a Great General for a Father, being a member of one of the highest aristocrats family in the Chang Empire, and even learning in the previous life about some connection to the Royal Family because of his ancestor.

So, how could he hope to retain the personality he posses before being transmigrated?

In this kind of cruel word, Shao Cheng has chosen on becoming terrible and ruthless just to survive and guard what he wants to protect.

So when Shao Cheng gazes at the eerie and quiet Ding Residence that has just experienced a massacre, his sapphire eyes have remained cold and indifferent without any single wave of emotion, even his heart that has always been numbed by all kind of experience in life has remained the same.

"... Whitey, what's wrong?"

"... Nothing."

"Are you sad? Whitey, don't be, what you did is right. Besides, even if you are wrong, Brother Yuan promise to stand by your side!"

"... um…"

Shao Cheng allowed the arm that wrapped around his shoulder to stay for a bit longer and accepting the fact that just being in the man's presence can give a bit of warmth to his already cold and numb heart.

Ah… somehow, it felt good to be alive again…

"Come Whitey, let's go home."

… home?

Shao Cheng blinked his eyes before glancing at the grinning Ren Yuan standing by his side who seemed to have spoken the word 'home' so naturally before finally nodding his head, feeling a bit please and happy when it somehow reminded him of the previous life where the Imperial Palace has become his home despite being unable to leave it.

"Alright, let's go home…"

Although on the way back to the Shao Residence, the two of them have to drop by in Pengfei place in order to pick up the pitiful Pinky who has grown thin after being forgotten, and when they got back, Shao Cheng has only told the depressed Pinky to find his numerous wives spread around the place.

"Woo! My Lovely Wifeys! The Handsome and Beautiful Pinky Is Finally Here To Show You Love!!!"

Shao Cheng lip twitch when the depressed pink rabbit has instantly lit up, jumping and shaking its fluffy pink body before running away while making perverted noise.

"Somehow… I suddenly feel that it's alright if I could not understand what an animal is saying…"

"It's in heat and wanted to create babies with those adorable rabbits you called evil rabbits."

"..."

The corner of Shao Cheng's lip rose up after seeing Ren Yuan becoming speechless before walking toward his room in order to rest while feeling glad that his two older brothers and father aren't stalking his courtyard this night.

"Hey, Little Cheng, since you remind me… we have to talk more seriously about the adult matters."

Ren Yuan showed a serious expression while catching up toward the slender figure of the young man walking away only to stumble over and falling to the ground after hearing what came out of the young man's mouth.

"Brother Yuan, I'm not that innocent.. as a person with medical skills I know more about that topic alright? And although I dislike touching other people, but I have seen and even touch a person's naked body."

Well, you have the honor of being the first person I saw and touch after coming back in the past...

Although Shao Cheng wanted to speak more in order to lessen the man's misunderstanding about him being completely innocent and oblivious regarding grown-up matters, he can only stop his explanation after hearing the sound of Ren Yuan falling to the ground causing him to stop walking before turning his head around.

"... what's wrong?"

"... Nooo… Little Cheng eyes and hands have been defiled by others! Hey White, can you tell Brother Yuan who they are? I'll go and properly take care of them…you know that they can spread a wrong rumor about it... This is all about your reputation! Whitey, listen to me, this is all for your own sake!"

"..."

If you are going to lie, make sure it's reasonable and believable, do you really think I'm like a child, so easy to fool?

Shao Cheng couldn't help but gaze strangely at the weirdly grinning Ren Yuan who's grey pupils has become unpredictable while calmly fixing his messy robes.

"Come on Whitey, tell Brother Yuan who they are..."

"..."

No way, I won't tell you about my escapade in the red light district, especially after having to coax the mischievous purple dragon who always wanted to pit me.

"Little Chen Yu, we are back."

Suddenly seeing the rounded body of Little Chen Yu appearing in the corner of the hall, Shao Cheng has swiftly walked over and quickly picking up the joyful wolf cub in his arms before walking a bit faster to his room, leaving behind the strange man who is acting strange.

"Sleep with me tonight alright Little Chen Yu?"

"Woo!"

Yay! Chen Yu would love to sleep with Papa Bug!

The entire time, Ren Yuan has somehow remained silent while watching with dark eyes as the young man quickly walking away with a happy wolf cub on his arm, and when the figure finally disappeared, the grin on his lip disappears while showing a blank expression.

"... I'll figure it out…"
