Chapter 409: Agreement
Baili Pangpang saw Zhengzheng walking out of the room, turned back to wave at his three “good brothers,” and then walked straight into the hospital room.
Zhengzheng frowned, carefully examining his profile as he passed by, a look of confusion appearing in her eyes.
Bang—!
Baili Pangpang entered the room and locked the door behind him.
Zhengzheng looked at Sun Luan and the other two sitting in chairs with a strange expression, “Who is he?”
“Oh, he seems to be a friend of Molly’s,” Sun Luan explained, thinking for a moment before adding, “He’s quite generous…”
…
When Molly saw Baili Pangpang walk into the room, she was momentarily taken aback, then a helpless smile appeared on her face.
“You really dare to come here? They’re still outside; aren’t you afraid they’ll recognize you and beat you up?”
“Let them beat me up; even if they break my legs, I’ll still come to see you in a wheelchair,” Baili Pangpang replied with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Molly’s cheeks flushed slightly, and she instinctively turned her face away.
“Molly, I have a gift for you.” Baili Pangpang walked to the bedside, sat down, and pulled out a beautifully wrapped gift box from his pocket, presenting it to Molly.
Molly looked at the gift box, her expression turning strange. “It wouldn’t be a Rolex or something, would it?”
“No, no, no, just open it and see,” Baili Pangpang waved his hands repeatedly.
Molly unwrapped the gift box, and in the center, carefully wrapped in a sponge layer, was a heavy sandalwood amulet. She was momentarily stunned and looked up at Baili Pangpang.
“I went to the temple today and specially asked for this amulet for you,” Baili Pangpang chuckled. “I tell you, to get that monk to carve me a few more wishes, I really had to talk a lot.
This one, there are only two in all of Daxia, and this is the only one with your name on it.”
Looking at Baili Pangpang’s smile, Molly felt a bit dazed. She lowered her head to take out the heavy wooden plaque and saw that the front was densely engraved with wishes, like ants crawling all over.
“Peace for all generations,” “Always happy,” “Youth forever,” “All evils retreat”…
She stared blankly at the sandalwood amulet in her hand, and after a long while, she turned it over to see that the back was neatly engraved with four big characters.
—Molly Wife.
These four characters were not entirely the same.
The top two characters “Molly” were carved with a chisel, each stroke precise and clean, clearly the work of a calligraphy master.
In contrast, the two characters “Wife” below were obviously written with a black marker, the strokes crooked and awkward, resembling the handwriting of an elementary school student. Compared to the top two characters, it was quite an eyesore.
“Who is your wife?!”
Molly put down the wooden plaque and shot Baili Pangpang a fierce glare, speaking angrily.
“Ah, don’t mind the details,” Baili Pangpang chuckled foolishly, trying to brush it off. “I asked that monk to carve those four characters, but he absolutely refused. In the end, he only carved ‘Molly,’ and I wrote the other two myself.”
“Unnecessary!” Molly said, embarrassed and annoyed, and punched Baili Pangpang in the chest.
Her strength wasn’t great, but with the added emotion, it wasn’t light either.
Baili Pangpang took the punch and couldn’t help but bend over and cough twice, then while rubbing his chest, he continued to smile at Molly, “So, how about it? Do you like this gift?”
Molly huffed, “If you remove the two characters ‘Wife,’ it would be acceptable.”
“Since it’s written with a pen, if you really don’t like it, just erase it!” Baili Pangpang said with a hint of grievance.
“…That would be better!”
“Since you like this unique gift from all of Daxia, as a return gift, can you promise me one condition?” Baili Pangpang leaned in closer with a mischievous grin.
“What condition?”
“The day after tomorrow is my dad’s birthday, and I need to go back to celebrate with him,” Baili Pangpang said with a smile. “You come back with me, and after the birthday celebration, I’ll introduce you to my dad…”
“Impossible!” Molly decisively refused, “There’s no way I’m meeting your dad…”
After saying that, Molly hesitated for a moment and added softly, “If it’s just to play in Guangzhou and Shenzhen… I might consider it.”
“Then it’s settled!!”
Baili Pangpang stood up excitedly, “You come back with me to Guangzhou and Shenzhen, and I’ll make sure you have a great time for a few days!”
Molly looked at Baili Pangpang with a strange expression, feeling like she was falling into a trap.
“I need to recover, so I can’t go back with you.” Molly glared at him and said, “On the day after your birthday, I’ll fly to Guangzhou and Shenzhen myself… and I’ll go and come back on the same day!”
Hearing this, Baili Pangpang sighed in disappointment.
“If you don’t want to, then I won’t go.”
“Don’t! Then it’s settled.” Baili Pangpang was afraid Molly would change her mind. “That day, remember to come find me in Guangzhou and Shenzhen early; I promise to take you out and have a great time before sending you back.”
Molly looked into his eyes, the corners of her mouth slightly lifting.
“Okay.”
…
In a rental house in a suburban area of Suzhou.
Lin Qiye was observing An Qingyu, who was busy setting up the dissection table, and couldn’t help but ask:
“So, after dissecting the Ten Cut Ghost Child, you gained the ability to create clones?”
An Qingyu thought for a moment, “I can’t say it’s an ability; I can only say I’ve mastered the means to create clones. However, there are many limitations. To create a clone, I need to use a lot of scientific equipment; it’s not something I can do anywhere, and making each clone takes a long time.
Also, since I don’t have the means to split my consciousness, I can only transfer my complete consciousness into one clone, which means I can only control one body at a time.”
“That’s still quite impressive…” Lin Qiye remarked, “No wonder you said you couldn’t be trapped in the fasting place; it turns out you were just a clone there.”
An Qingyu looked up at Lin Qiye and smiled shyly.
“So, is the one here now one of your clones… or your main body?” Lin Qiye asked again.
“You guess?” An Qingyu smiled.
“I think I already have the answer,” Lin Qiye said with a wry smile.
“By the way, you brought the body of [Bell Crandall], right?” An Qingyu seemed to remember something, her eyes sparkling with excitement. “Can you dissect it for me first?”
Lin Qiye’s mouth twitched slightly, and he sighed deeply as he handed the body of [Bell Crandall] to An Qingyu, seriously reminding her:
“Remember to return it to me after the dissection; I still have use for it.”
“Understood!”
