After being reborn, the cannon fodder junior sister quickly left the sect.

Chapter 33 The Eccentric Chu Wenqing

In the bustling porridge shop, Su Luo sat at the table, resting her chin on her hand, watching the traffic and crowds outside. After a long while, she sighed.

"Alas... one wrong step can lead to eternal regret..."

Yesterday, her intention was to make Lin Ji forget that she had ever met him, but she accidentally added an extra Forgetfulness Pill, causing him to lose his memory. Now, he remembers nothing and is even clinging to her because of it!

No matter how she explained, the other person refused to leave her, following her step by step like a newly hatched chick. Whenever Su Luo showed impatience and wanted to get rid of this burden, the other person would show a pitiful expression of being abandoned, which would also draw angry glares from those around her, those gazes full of condemnation.

Finally, Lin Ji seemed to see her distress and reluctance. He sadly lowered his head and, taking advantage of her inattention, staggered away from the clinic, dragging his wound.

Upon discovering this, Su Luo quickly gave chase, but thankfully the boy hadn't gone far and she managed to pull him back in time. This back-and-forth caused the boy's wounds to reopen.

During the treatment, the doctor lectured Su Luo for a long time. Su Luo had no way to express her suffering, so she could only swallow her broken teeth and say that she would take good care of the other person before she was let off the hook.

Today, she came to the porridge shop to buy some nutritious food for Lin Ji. He lost so much blood, so it's essential for him to eat some pig's blood porridge to replenish his body.

Judging that her porridge would be ready soon, Su Luo sat up straight and patted her cheeks.

Never mind, after all, Lin Ji lost his memory because of her, so she has a responsibility to take care of him.

Anyway, there are still two days before the magical artifact is finished. She can take good care of the guy she caused to lose his memory during these two days. Once his injuries have healed, she can take him to an alchemist to see if the effects of the Forgetfulness Pill can be neutralized and he can regain his memory...

Soon, the shopkeeper packed up six servings of pig's blood porridge and delivered them with a smile. Su Luo gave him the spirit stones, got up, and put the porridge into her special storage bag, thinking to herself.

"These pig's blood are all highly nutritious foods. If he eats pig's blood porridge three times a day for two days, it should replenish his blood."

Unaware of the impending doom, Lin Ji lay on the bed, obediently waiting for Su Luo's arrival, a malicious smile playing on his lips.

Thinking back to yesterday, the stunned expression on Su Luo's face when he heard about his amnesia made him want to laugh.

I've never seen her look so utterly devastated before; it's hilarious! Coming to find Su Luo was definitely the right decision. She thinks she can get rid of him with a mere Forget-Me-Not Pill? Dream on! Until he recovers, he'll play along with her for a while!

Over there, Su Luo was walking quickly toward the clinic when she stopped abruptly as she passed a small stall and turned around abruptly.

In an inconspicuous corner of the market, a young man in white sat upright at a simple table, on which sat a sign that read "Listen to Your Troubles." The young man's features were so striking and his demeanor so unusual that even sitting in the corner, he attracted the attention of passersby.

Su Luo stood there, blinking her eyes.

Wow! I spotted a familiar face again!

She called him a familiar face, but in reality, she had only met him once in her previous life. The main reason was that he had left a very deep impression on her.

This young man is Chu Wenqing, a cannon fodder character who was only briefly mentioned in the original book. In his previous life, he came to Tianyi Sect once with Lingxiao Sect. Because he was roasting a pheasant in the back mountain in the middle of the night, he almost burned down the entire back mountain of Tianyi Sect, which resulted in him being blacklisted by Tianyi Sect and never allowed to get close to Tianyi Sect again.

Su Luo admired the other party a lot at the time.

After all, he was a rare talent who could make Sect Leader Liu so angry that he jumped up and down, and who could also silence the pretentious Qingya Zi and his two disciples.

Unfortunately, at the time, she was being closely watched by the fake Ning Wanshuang and kept by her side, so she was unable to strike up a conversation with her.

For some reason, she always felt that she and that boy seemed to have something in common, and she could also feel a strange sense of familiarity from his behavior.

Fortunately, Chu Wenqing was too famous. Even though he could no longer come to Tianyi Sect, Su Luo could still hear news about him from time to time.

There's no other reason than that this person is just too eccentric!

Most cultivators, for the sake of their image, present themselves as otherworldly and detached from the world, but this fellow is different.

Tell me, who has ever seen someone being dragged along by a sword while flying? Who has ever seen someone drooling over a monster while slaying it, fantasizing about how delicious its flesh would be? And who has ever seen someone, after drinking too much, tear off someone's clothes, flinging them while loudly singing with a bottle in hand?

Chu Wenqing had done all of these things.

His actions were truly baffling and widely circulated among various sects, with some even suspecting that he might have some kind of mental problem.

Su Luo, however, found the other person quite interesting.

Since arriving in this world, she had never seen such a vibrant, free-spirited cultivator, so genuine and unconcerned with worldly opinions. At the time, she was quite envious of him!

At this moment, Chu Wenqing was not at all like his usual unreliable self. He sat upright, looking like an immortal. Even while listening to the guest's troubles, his expression did not change much, and his eyes occasionally flashed with wisdom.

His guest was a middle-aged man dressed in expensive clothes and reeking of alcohol. He was leaning against the table, rambling on and on, occasionally letting out a burp. "Actually, burp, I always feel that my son doesn't resemble me..."

As a listener, Chu Wenqing asked very professionally, "Guest, why do you think that way?"

"It's like this. When I was young, I always wanted a son to inherit the family business, but my wife was useless; she gave birth to two girls! Hiccup... I was so angry that I left my wife at home and went to work. Later... hiccup... I had enough of playing around outside, and I came to terms with it and went back to my hometown. Unexpectedly, my wife got pregnant not long after and gave birth to a boy! I was so happy; I held him all day long! My uncle next door often came to see him and even praised how good-looking my son was!"

"Uncle?"

"Ah, that's my husband's cousin. They grew up together and have a pretty good relationship." The man waved his hand dismissively, and Chu Wenqing gave a meaningful "Oh."

Then, the man's happy expression gradually turned into annoyance. "But as my son grew up, I always felt... hiccup, he didn't look much like me... Once I brought up this question, and my wife instantly exploded, bursting into tears and saying how miserable her life was, how she had been abandoned for so many years, and now that she had given birth to a son, she was being wronged... Her crying was so loud that my uncle came running over to ask what was going on. After my uncle's persuasion, I temporarily forgot about it..."

"But later I always felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't figure out what it was. My wife isn't pretty, and I've never seen her get close to any other men... hiccup... Although my son is very sensible and obedient, I still have a knot in my heart."

Chu Wenqing pondered for a moment, then suddenly patted his shoulder with an encouraging smile.

"You're overthinking it! Children don't always look like their parents. Sometimes they resemble the woman's relatives, which is perfectly normal. Some children even have genetic mutations!"

"Gene mutation? What's that?"

"Ahem... The gist is that the fetus is affected differently in the womb, resulting in certain changes. Think about it carefully, although your son doesn't look like you, doesn't he look like your wife? Or your uncle?"

The man tilted his head and thought for a moment, "It seems like that..."

"This shows that your son is more influenced by his mother, and therefore resembles your wife more! You're worrying too much!"

The man was skeptical. "So that's how it is..."

"Men shouldn't be too suspicious, or they'll get scolded," Chu Wenqing comforted the man, her gaze sweeping over his shoulder and landing on the green hat on his head, her smile unchanged.

"Your hat is really nice."

"Really?" The man smiled, puffing out his chest proudly. "My wife bought this especially for me!"

Chu Wenqing's smile widened even more. "Your wife has excellent taste. As the saying goes, to make life bearable, you need a little green! This touch of green suits you perfectly! It makes you look so much younger!"

The man became even more smug. "Hehe! You flatter me! I was a famous heartthrob when I was young, and even now that I'm older, I still have quite a few female confidantes..."

Now the man had no more worries and began to boast wildly about his romantic exploits, with Chu Wenqing occasionally agreeing and maintaining her smile.

Finally, the middle-aged man was satisfied with what he had said. Before leaving, he gave Chu Wenqing a lot more money and then left humming a song.

"..."

Su Luo watched all of this, her lips twitching incessantly.

As expected of Chu Wenqing! Not only can he spout nonsense and fool people, but he can also listen to a middle-aged man's greasy boasting for a long time without changing his expression. What a warrior!

but……

Su Luo narrowed her eyes, seemingly lost in thought.

She seemed to have just heard some very familiar phrases. "To get by in life, you always need a little green on you"—isn't that a very famous meme these days?! And the word "genes"—was it the "genes" she was thinking of?
