The Rebirth Of A White Robe Man: I'll Follow You This Time Chapter 266
Advertisement
In the slowly awakening of Shao Cheng's consciousness, a repressed sobbing voice was the first thing he heard before being followed by a blurry voice talking in a far distance which contained a wave of almost uncontrollable anger.
"... sobs… Older sister… it been a day since Little Cheng was unconscious!... sobs... how could they do this to us? We have been nice and kind toward them… sincerely treating them with all our heart… but in the end… they cause our Little Cheng to be in danger!... sniff… I won't be able to forgive myself if something bad happens to our child!"
"... it's our fault! The whole time, we have been so foolish and blind! We didn't even know what kind of people they are. Now it's our Little Cheng taking all the consequences of our foolishness and failure to recognize the right people!"
Shao Cheng instinctively felt the entire situation around him appeared complicated, especially after sensing the feeling of heaviness upon his body before being followed by the constants change of coldness and burning heat chaotically running rampant throughout his entire body.
So, rather than Shao Cheng showing the sign of regaining consciousness, he continues to act like he was still sleeping while spreading his consciousness in the entire surrounding, in which he has immediately seen her twin Mother sitting a bit farther away from where he was laying down.
And while Shao Cheng's awareness continues to spread around, he finally saw the figure of his Father and Second Uncle solemnly speaking to each other in the outer hall of the room before finally seeing the figures of his siblings and cousin Biyu staying in another room.
As for Shao Yan and Shao Chonglin, it appeared that they aren't in the Shao Residence, presumably the two of them have received some ordered from their father.
"Damn, those people! They are so courageous! How can I treat Daiyu's action of taking out a drug that can lure poisonous snakes as a small trick? If our Little Cheng didn't catch her in the act, then we would have remained blind and ignorant about the entire ordeal!"
"Yes! How could Geming and Lilu believe that the situation isn't completely serious? Is this something that can easily be overlooked just because they apologize! If our second son didn't see the bitten Little Cheng and the struggling Daiu trying to escape, then we won't even know anything!"
…? Wait… there is something wrong… how come my situation of being bitten by the most poisonous snake of the entire world become like that? What happened after I pass out?
Shao Cheng couldn't help but become confused after hearing the indignant voice of his twin Mothers who couldn't restrain their anger while slightly revealing what has been happening after fainting.
"Fortunately, our Husband's heart has hardened and has decided to completely have nothing to the Third and his Family! We don't need any white-eyed wolves' relatives in our family!"
".. sniff... Yes, just like what our Little Cheng has spoken before, aside from the Second brother-in-law and his daughter, we will stop being acquainted with the Third brother-in-law along with his family."
….?
Although Shao Cheng doesn't have any idea what transpired but the result of the confusing situation is all great since the Shao Geming and the Zhang influence and status in his family has been cut off, at least, his family would be able to guard against their wicked relatives.

While Shao Cheng watches as his twin Mothers comfort each other, he quickly notices the moment the purple dragon has entered the room before speaking in their mindlink.
"Papa Bug, you are finally awake! But do not worry, I have already given the pit of being bitten by a poisonous snake to your wicked relatives!"
… sorry for doubting you in my heart…but I feel it's extremely incredible how you are being useful rather than creating trouble this time...
While floating, Purple small body swayed with a proud expression on his face, completely feeling please and delighted for being able to help solve one of the slightly difficult troubles of the wicked man before finally summarize the entire event after he lost consciousness.
"Well, I have decided to taken you back in the courtyard after being bitten by the red snake while letting Little Chen Yu, Pinky, and the countless rabbit around stop your family from visiting, and of course, also blocking your devil student from disturbing you."
"And after a day of helping you cure the lethal poison in your body, I went out to take a rest, but then I saw your evil female cousin outside the courtyard with a twisted expression on her face while holding an item that can produce an attraction to the baby red snake."
"It was a drug that lures poisonous snake, although it wasn't strong enough to lure the deadly one so red can ignore it, then I suddenly have a brilliant idea to use her sudden evil act to completely let your family has enough determination to cut off their relationship toward those evil relatives!"
Purple swayed happily before softly landing on the wicked man's chest before raising his head in a superior action and using his small claw to proudly point upon the pale face of his Papa bug.
"It was simply a god assist! So, I allow her to spread the drug around the courtyard before knocking her out and taking your unconscious body out and letting the lured snakes bite you again since the small bite of the baby snake has disappeared."
Shao Cheng's lip couldn't help but twitch after hearing about being bitten again while wondering if he should punish this arrogant purple dragon.
"Of course, such action is needed to be done since I already remove all the dreadful venom in your body. Especially after Grandfather bug has anxiously called out the Imperial Physician in the Palace to check your health. There is also the fact that your body is becoming unusual after the change."
Imperial Physician… the ability to call such people from the Palace already attests to how the Emperor still favors the Shao Family, along with trusting their loyalty from generations to the Imperial Power.
At least, the present Emperor wasn't a completely faint ruler who still knows the right and wrong regarding the official who serves him.
"And then, I let Little Chen Yu lured your second Brother while Pinky blocks the already conscious Daiyu from escaping. And letting the Uncle Bug witness the scene of your unconscious body surrounded by a poisonous snake littering the surrounding. Heheh Arent I Great? Papa Bug has to cook my favorite dishes later on!"
It would be great if you are this intelligent and helpful most of the time…
After summarizing the entire event, Shao Cheng has finally compromised what the Purple dragon wanted as a reward before finally opening his eyes and letting out a soft sound in order to attract the attention of his Twin Mother who has instantly brighten up in relief and happiness.

"... Oh… by the way, Mama bug will soon arrive."
"...!"
"LITTLE CHENG!!!"
Shortly after Purple has spoken with a smug look on his face, the familiar voice of Ren Yuan has loudly resounded out in the Main Residence with how loud it was before being followed by the sound of a door opening.
"Oh, Hello Uncles, I'm dropping by to check on my Little Cheng, I'll talk to you later."
Shao Cheng can only lay down in the bed when his twin Mother has paused from their actions of helping him sit down since he really felt a bit weak after being poison while at the same time, he couldn't help but let out a soft sigh after hearing such cheeky words from the shameless man after seeing his Father and Second Uncle from the outer room.
Shortly, Shao Cheng can hear the sound of hurried footsteps coming in their direction before the familiar voice has once more rang out.
"Little Cheng!!! Oh… you are finally awake… Good! So… How come you are getting bullied after I was away? I would have remained ignorant about what happened to you if I didn't hear the gossips around the Capital about the Third Son of the Shao Family being bitten by a poisonous snake!"
… well, now that I think about it, I'm quite sure that you would have come earlier, but has decided to only visit now in order to hide the fact that you have people spying inside the residence right?
And yet, despite what Shao Cheng was thinking in his mind, but the appearance of a worried Ren Yuan entering the inner room has caused his shoulder to further relax while his dim sapphire eyes have quickly warmed up.
Honestly, Shao Cheng couldn't stop the feeling of missing this man a bit, after all, the two of them have been almost together after coming back in the past, which was the same situation in the previous life after he died.
"Honestly, you always worry me that I just couldn't leave you alone! Don't worry, Brother Yuan is here and would definitely fight justice for you! So, when you felt better, come with me and watch on how I will ruthlessly beat them up!"
"I'm alright… but, I don't mind if I'm on Brother Yuan's list of people needed to be protected…"
… in the previous life... I finally understood that you have been protecting me in the dark despite the fact that I see you as my greatest enemy.
..so… If I'm going to experience being protected… I wouldn't mind it if you are the one doing it…
"... sniff… Yuan, it's good that you are here. Our Little Cheng has just woken up, I'll go prepare some food since our Little Cheng is definitely hungry after being unconscious for an entire day."
"Yes… I'll also go call the Physician in our home so that he could check our Little Cheng status, so please take care of him while we go out alright?"
Although Su Chunhua and Su Yanmei desperately wanted to stay and take care of their Third Son, however, when they saw the soft warm glimmering in those pair of sapphire pupils, they already recognize without hesitation that their Third Son prefers the young man rather than the two of them.
"Oh? Alright, Beautiful Madams! You can count on me, I'll definitely take care of Little Cheng."
As soon as the two women left and closing the door, Shao Cheng couldn't help but silently observe the silent Ren Yuan who has thoughtfully help him sit down before gently putting a pillow behind his back and finally sitting on the chair next to the bed he was resting.
"Little Cheng, you look awful."
The beautiful face was completely pale, adding to a morbid unhealthy beauty, while the pink lip has turned white with a purple tint upon it, and at the same time, the usually tied up silky long hair was loose and slightly spread around the suddenly thin slender shoulder filled with tiredness.
"Um… Brother Yuan also looks awful."
Different from the usual petty-minded attitude Shao Cheng has whenever Ren Yuan spoke rather annoying and rude words, he couldn't help but calmly reply back while gazing at slightly dark bugs underneath a pair of charming peach blossom grey eyes, the messy thick long hair, and the rumple splendid crimson robes.
Particularly when Shao Cheng smells the heavy scent of wine on Ren Yuan's body, such untidy and messy appearance shouldn't be appealing, and yet, in his eyes, the man has reached another level of charm and attractiveness.
… well, am I finally being blinded because of my like?
"Well, aren't we both a miserable pair of people?"
"...mnm…"
Shao Cheng blinks his sapphire eyes while calmly watching the way that Ren Yuan has slightly lean over before showing a wide playful smile on his face with the pair of grey eyes is shimmering with beautiful light, which also contained various complicated emotions hidden deep within.
"Whitey, you really need to take care of yourself. It doesn't matter if you have excellent skills and amazing ability. I was really worried after hearing the news of you being bitten by a poisonous snake… Whitey, this world still has full of wonders… so don't easily bet and gamble… remember, I am still here alright?"
… no matter what circumstances and problems you have… don't use your own body and life to solve it… don't forget… I am here… your ally and friend… I will help you out...
Shao Cheng has quickly gotten the hidden meaning behind Ren Yuan's words and couldn't help but calmly reach out before gingerly taking the man's slender hand, at the same time, he was also secretly observing any reaction from the man, which has remained the same without any change of emotion.
…. I really wish that I can read you so easily since I really lack confidence about it...
So, after a few moments of silence, never knowing what the man is thinking behind the playful grin, Shao Cheng has finally opened his slightly dry lip with a serious expression on his pale face.
"I know and I… I didn't forget you."
… among the two of us… you are the one who can guess more about what I'm thinking all the time.
However, this time.... the entire situation is simply a genuine accident.

Becoming pilot on a pirate craft, several years later she and other pirates are devastated by attacks of the Imperial Legion and are now trying to regroup. Seeking funds that will help them hide out for a time, their leader THURGOD DRISTA and JENNA meet with a PROFESSOR of galactic history who gives them information, a map and an ancient artifact described as a singing stone. He tells them that this could lead them safely to a legendary treasure trove, called THE DARK LORDS HOARD, on the forbidden planet TRILLA. The hoard is supposed to belong to the ruler of the empire who vanished close to one thousand years before and is presumed to be gone. The treasure is believed to be hidden in a tunnel accessible from the planet surface but no one who has gone into the tunnel has ever come out alive or sane. Leaving the pirate hideout immediately after the meeting and avoiding a major attack by the legion, the pirates travel to the galactic rim for supplies and to leave a false trail. With them they take the PROFESSOR and ILISA, a serving girl. However CAPTAIN TRASKA the commander of a Legions task force called Detachment T, has guessed the pirates intentions and tracked them to the rim. The pirates leave on their next leg to TRILLA unaware that CAPTAIN TRASKA with his force of heavy cruisers, is already there and lying in wait for them. Allowing the pirates to land, including an unexpected second pirate ship, CAPTAIN TRASKA sends a force of troopers to capture both craft and their guards. Before they can do this, THURGOD, the PROFESSOR and others, numbering thirteen altogether and led by JENNA entered the tunnel complex. JENNA, warned by ILISA that she must be the one to hold the singing stone, carries it in the hope that it will guide her and her companions past the many dangers in the tunnel. Shortly afterward, VIS VISTRICER the Legions overall commander travels to Trilla in an armoured planetoid, a spacecraft as large as a moon. On his arrival at TRILLA, VIS VISTRICER meets with CAPTAIN TRASKA but before they can do much, they are both surprised by one of the LADIES OF THE CIRCLE who is waiting for the outcome of what is happening in the tunnels. In the tunnels, JENNA leads THURGOD and the rest of party through many dangers and tests. Four are killed in the tunnels but the rest finally come to their goal where, to their surprise, in a cavern they meet the DARK LORD who is alive and very well. He has been waiting for them so he can return to the Empire. JENNA finds out that the patrol officer is alive and that she and many others have been manipulated all this time by the DARK LORD. She also finds out that ILISA, whose real name is JURA, is a member of the CIRCLE OF LADIES and was sent to teach JENNA many years before on her home planet of Christos. The DARK LORD restores and fulfills a promise to release JURA from her service as a LADY. He next has each pirate declare their own fate and takes them to the surfaces of TRILLA. There, at their election, he executes two of the pirates while JENNA is pardoned and some have the death penalty reprieved. The rest will face the courts of the Legion. VIS VISTRICER is raised to the rank of STAR COMMANDER, the highest rank in the Legion while TRASKA becomes a COMMODORE. The DARK LORD returns to Tihab, the administrative centre of the empire. There he takes up his residence in a surprised and disconcerted imperial palace. JENNA is returned by COMMODORE TRASKA to the planet Christos where she is welcomed by the planets rulers and her family, some of whom were aware of some of what was happening.
