Refuse to trample on the pride of heaven

Chapter 133 Q version of Liu Jiqian?

Qu Yan returned and left. The puppets he left behind were either broken or burnt. A large number of trees around them collapsed, as if they had been bombed. Everyone moved to an open area while coughing.

"Senior Brother Liu, Senior Brother Liu?"

Lu Wensheng shook the person in his arms, but Liu Jiqian's eyes were dull and he showed no reaction, like an exquisite but lifeless puppet.

Lu Wensheng: "It's bad, he's really unconscious."

Ji Yanli: "So is Senior Brother Liu's consciousness now in that puppet?"

Yan Qingshu: "Where is that little puppet?"

Everyone was silent - it seemed like no one remembered to take it away.

Tang He narrowed his eyes and pointed at the forest they came out of: "Hey, is that a puppet? It seems to be running over here!"

Everyone looked in the direction Tang He pointed, and saw a person running out of the woods... a Q version of Liu Jiqian?

Little Liu Jiqian had short arms and legs, and was about the same size as the cotton doll that Lu Wensheng had seen in his previous life. He looked very delicate, as if Liu Jiqian had been shrunk in proportion, but chubby, like a doll.

It was Liu Jiqian's appearance before his disguise, with white hair and golden eyes. He was a smaller version of himself wearing Liu Jiqian's clothes. He grunted and climbed over the rocks blocking the way, running with his little arms outstretched, as if to say "Don't leave me".

Everyone suddenly felt like an arrow pierced their hearts and was touched by cuteness.

"Liu, Senior Brother Liu?" Lu Wensheng looked at the little Liu Jiqian, who was not even as high as his knees and seemed to be gasping for breath while holding up his short legs, and his tone was a little uncertain.

Xiao Liu Jiqian: Nod, then make this (○｀ 3′○) expression and pout.

Lu Wensheng: "Um... Senior Brother Liu, are you unhappy? We didn't leave you behind on purpose." This little thing is quite interesting - by the way, why is his personality not very similar to Senior Brother Liu? Would Senior Brother Liu not be able to accept this if he knew about it?

Xiao Liu Jiqian tilted his head and nodded, as if saying "I forgive you". Yan Qingshu couldn't help but squat down and poke his head. Xiao Liu Jiqian was shaken by the poke and suddenly became angry. He hugged Yan Qingshu's fingers, shook them away, then hugged his arms and turned his face away.

Koyanagi Jiqian: ＜(｀^′)＞

Yan Qingshu was amazed by how cute he was: Wow, he’s still a little powder keg.

Lu Wensheng: "System, is there any solution? Can it be solved by willpower?"

[There is a way to solve it, without the power of will. It won't take much effort. Just go back and ask the Supreme Elder. The more money we can save, the better.]

The system is very careful with its willpower, and will not let it give in easily even if it is the precious Liu Jiqian!

"Let's use the formation to send Senior Brother Liu back first and ask the Grand Elder to take a look." Lu Wensheng carried Liu Jiqian on his back. Little Liu Jiqian didn't care about being angry and shook his arms and hugged his legs.

Yan Qingshu: Hehehe, so cute.

Lu Wensheng placed Liu Jiqian on the formation and used the communication jade slip to send a message to the Supreme Elder. Little Liu Jiqian used Lu Wensheng's clothes as a tool, stepped on his robe, climbed onto Lu Wensheng's shoulders, and then hugged his neck.

Little Liu Jiqian was just a soft and light baby at this time, so Lu Wensheng naturally didn't ask him to come down - the lovely senior brother Liu had no bad intentions, he just wanted a ride.

"Why is my grandson so unlucky?!" After the Supreme Elder learned what happened, he asked a question from the heart.

"Grand Elder, I'm so sorry. If it weren't for me, Senior Brother Liu wouldn't have been able to..."

"This was his own choice. There is nothing to apologize for." There was no resentment in the Supreme Elder's tone, but rather a calm one.

"You guys send the puppet and Ji Qian's body here together."

However, Xiao Jiqian, who understood what was said, refused to come down. He shook his head frantically and rubbed Lu Wensheng's head against it. When Lu Wensheng reached out to grab him, he turned to the other side and slapped away other people's hands.

Xiao Jiqian:???

Lu Wensheng felt that his hairstyle at this moment was probably like a chicken coop.

"Grand Elder, Senior Brother Liu refused."

Tang He: "Yes, yes, very fierce, and even throwing a tantrum."

"Throwing a tantrum?! Use the camera stone to record it for me!" The Supreme Elder, who had been calm till now, suddenly became excited.

This is my biological grandfather—Lu Wensheng sighed.

"What should we do now? Senior Brother Liu is not cooperating." It seemed that he couldn't speak yet.

"I asked the puppet to be sent here because I was afraid that Qu Yanhui would carve a curse on it and it would control me. You can take a look at the patterns on the puppet's belly and make a decision later."

Lu Wensheng had no choice but to coax Xiao Jiqian, who had already climbed above his head and occupied the highest field of vision: "Senior Brother Liu, can you come down first and let me see you? I won’t throw you into the teleportation array."

Only after Lu Wensheng said all the nice things he could muster did Xiao Jiqian come down groaningly.

Tang He: "Why is Senior Brother Liu from the puppet so... true to his nature?" I feel like I won't be able to look directly at Senior Brother Liu from now on.

The Grand Elder: "All his emotions have been magnified, so naturally they are different from usual. Look at his belly."

Lu Wensheng held the soft little Jiqian in his arms and looked into his big, blinking eyes. Suddenly, he felt helpless. Wouldn't it be like stripping off Senior Brother Liu's clothes if he looked at his belly? Although he was a puppet now, wasn't that a bad idea?

"You are usually very decisive, why are you hesitating now? Let me do it!" Yan Qingshu said that she had a lot of experience in playing with dolls when she was a child, and she reached out to clear the clothes on Xiao Jiqian with one click.

Xiao Jiqian bit her angrily: ヽ（≧□≦）ノ

It didn't hurt, but Yan Qingshu still honestly retracted her hand and took a breath: "So fierce."

Lu Wensheng hesitated even more—he didn’t want to be bitten.

But Xiao Jiqian patted his hands shyly, then pinched a finger and put it on his belly.

Xiao Jiqian: (??//e//??)

Yan Qingshu smiled wryly: "So it's a double standard." After all, it was a wrong choice.

Lu Wensheng untied Xiao Jiqian's belt, revealing only his belly, protecting the child's privacy - there were only faint lines on it, like chip circuits, he described it to the Supreme Elder.

"That's fine. This puppet doesn't have any control runes. All you have to do is teleport Jiqian's body back."

"When will this situation get better, Senior Brother Liu?"

"I'll prepare the materials here. It should be almost ready by the time you guys come back."

After taking a look at the shy little Jiqian who was tying his belt by himself, Lu Wensheng felt sorry for Brother Liu behind him.

Xiao Jiqian can't speak, and Gu Jinzhi has a small sign in his hand, which is used for some patients who can't speak to express themselves in simple terms. He simply gave it to Xiao Jiqian.

Little Jiqian lay back on Lu Wensheng's shoulder, waving the wooden sign happily. Tang He couldn't help but tease him and pinched his clothes, but Little Jiqian smashed the wooden sign with a loud bang. The sign also had the word "bad" written on it.

Everyone: Hiss—that’s a really ruthless move.
