Chapter 56 â Bro, Youâre Insanely Good-Looking
Thirty minutes later.
By now, Chen Huaiâan had already left the house.
Standing by the window, Baji gazed at the setting sun with deep sorrow in its golden eyes.
On the windowpane, a yellow talisman was firmly stuck in placeâetched with unfathomable characters.
Even though it couldnât read them, Baji knew exactly what they meant:
If it dared to get close to the window, it would be struck by lightning.
ãSo in the end⦠I still canât escape, huhâ¦ã
ãHeh⦠This king was too naïve after all.ã
A mighty being in possession of a damaged Immortal Artifactâ
How could someone like that not be aware of its little escape plans?
There was no way this prison would be so easy to flee from.
As for all the bizarre things this human did?
Baji had figured it out.
He was comprehending the Dao.
It was common for cultivators to suppress their own cultivation realms, even seal away their memories, all for the sake of experiencing mortal sufferingâto attain enlightenment.
Clearly, this human bigshot was doing just that.
ãForget it. White rice is still food.ã
The world had changed greatly since its time, and rice nowadays tasted much better than it did back then.
Though for some reasonâ¦
It never seemed to be filling.
Baji crawled over to the bowl, took a few bitesâ
And then, all of a suddenâ
A single tear rolled from its golden cat eyes.
ãThis riceâ¦ã
ãDAMN IT, ITâS UNDERCOOKED!!!ã
Meanwhile, at the airportâ
Chen Huaiâan scratched his chin as a thought suddenly popped into his mind.
"I feel like I forgot somethingâ¦"
"Oh, right. That rice⦠I think I half-cooked itâ¦"
A brief moment of guilt flickered through his heart.
But then he rememberedâBaji was looking healthier than ever, meaning he wasnât neglecting it too badly.
Baji was a rural cat, after all.
Back in his grandparentsâ countryside home, their cats ate whatever the family ateâ
They werenât like spoiled city cats that needed expensive cat food or had sensitive stomachs.
The guilt quickly vanished, replaced by pride.
Not bad. Bajiâs tough. Easy to take care of.
Today was his first time flying, so he was feeling a bit excited.
Last time he went to Mount Tais, he took the high-speed trainâbecause he was broke.
Originally, he had planned to take a train to the showâs filming location too.
But after wandering around Tianquan City with Li Qingran for too long,
He almost missed his departure time.
So in the end, he splurged a little and booked a flight.
As he walked through the airport terminal, dragging his suitcase along,
A strange sensation crept over him.
"Weird. Why do I feel like so many people are staring at me today?"
At first, he thought it was just his imagination.
But as he continued toward the check-in counter, he started to notice the glances more clearly.
The stares mostly came from womenâ
But there were also quite a few men, though their expressions were a mix of displeasure and jealousy.
Every time he turned his gaze toward them, their eyes quickly darted away.
Chen Huaiâan narrowed his eyes.
Something wasnât right.
"I need to check the mirror. Maybe thereâs something weird on my face?"
He hurried into the restroom.
The moment he disappeared behind the bathroom doorâ
A wave of fiery gazes immediately locked onto the restroom entrance.
"HOLY SH*T. A ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME LEVEL OF HANDSOME."
"AAAAHHH! I GOT A PHOTO! LOOK AT THAT SIDE PROFILE! PERFECTION!"
"OMGGG, WHO HAS THE GUTS TO GO ASK FOR HIS CONTACT?!"
"Forget it, Iâd probably faint just standing in front of him. This dude is way hotter than that trending idol, Cai Yifan!"
"Is he a celebrity? I donât recognize himâ¦"
Chatter exploded through the terminal, buzzing like a swarm of green-headed flies.
Nearby, a group of men clenched their jaws, grinding their teeth in frustration.
Some young women even began lingering near the restroom, using various objects as cover, preparing to snap pictures.
The older ladies were more restrained, telling themselvesâ
"Just one more look. One last look. Thatâs enough to make my whole day."
Inside the restroom, Chen Huaiâan stared at his reflection in the mirror.
"Weird. Thereâs nothing on my faceâ¦"
He leaned closer, examining himself from every angle.
Nothing seemed off.
If anythingâ
His skin looked better.
His entire aura seemed to have changed subtly.
How to describe it�
Otherworldly?
That word suddenly popped into his mind.
If he donned an immortal robe, he wouldnât even need to poseâheâd radiate an ethereal presence effortlessly.
As he was still processing this revelation,
A guy washing his hands nearby suddenly grumbled:
"The hell you looking at? Narcissist."
Then stormed out of the restroom.
Chen Huaiâan furrowed his brows.
Then his expression relaxed.
Then he slapped his thigh in realization:
"Wait a minuteâheâs right! I am being narcissistic!"
Enlightenment struck.
It was all because he had been immersed in the game for too longâ
Always referring to himself as "this lord", acting like some kind of self-obsessed immortal.
"Damn, Iâm an idiot. Time to board my flight."
Slapping his cheeks to snap out of it, he strode out of the restroom with his head held high.
Even when a few girls walked into signboards because they were too busy staring at himâ
He ignored them all.
On the plane.
Once seated, the number of stares significantly decreased.
Chen Huaiâan settled into his seat, ready to relaxâ
Until a flight attendant approached him with a warm, dazzling smile.
"Sir, you seem to be having trouble. Let me help you with your seatbelt."
Chen Huaiâan: "Oh, uh, I can do it myselfâ"
What the hell?
What trouble? His leg injury was fake, and his hands worked fine!
"Itâs no problem, sir. This is my duty."
Once she buckled him in, another flight attendant walked over.
"Sir, would you like some water? Or perhaps a drink~?"
Chen Huaiâan: "Uh⦠Iâm good, thanksâ¦"
Then, the head stewardess approached.
"Sir, do you get airsick? Let me share some tips for a comfortable flight."
Chen Huaiâan: "I⦠donât think I get airsickâ¦?"
Sweat dripped down his forehead.
Why was the service so damn enthusiastic?!
âDamn. No wonder people fly instead of taking the train.â
If this was how airlines treated all their passengers,
Then 800 bucks for a plane ticket was beyond worth it.
What he didnât noticeâ
The girl sitting beside him was already blushing to her ears, practically melting into her seat.
She hesitated for a solid ten minutes, gathering her courageâ
Before finally sneaking a glance at him.
âAhhh! Heâs so handsome! But he looks so coldâ¦â
âThis is fate! A fateful encounter in the skies!â
With her heart pounding, she nervously extended her phone toward himâ
"Um⦠can I add you onâ"
This Lordâs Flying Sword is Faster
Chen Huaiâan suddenly let out a disdainful chuckle.
"Heh. So this is what people call an airplane?"
"This lordâs flying sword is way faster!"
The girl who had just worked up the courage to ask for his contactâ
froze.
Then, without saying a wordâ
She silently withdrew her phone.
â¦
Back at his hotelâ¦
After finishing the spiritual tea, Chen Huaiâan placed the cup under his pillow.
He took two steps forwardâ
Then suddenly froze, his expression shifting dramatically.
He looked down at his legs.
"Wait⦠I can walk?!"
He moved his legs, took a few more steps, then hesitated.
Ripping off his plaster cast, he sawâ
His legs were completely fine.
Thereâs a sayingâit takes a hundred days to heal from tendon or bone injuries.
For a bone cancer patient like him, it wouldnât just be a hundred daysâitâd be a lifelong disability.
Yet nowâ
The bones that had been fractured were not only fully healed,
They even felt better than before.
"Hissâ! Somethingâs offâ¦"
Chen Huaiâan stroked his chin, lost in thought.
Whatâs causing this?
Some kind of Spring Rejuvenation Needle technique?
Or maybe a Meridian-Opening Acupuncture method?
Could it be that his cancer cells activated some kind of hidden genetic potential?
â¦
Did cancer just turn him into a super-healing vampire?!
To test his theory, he grabbed a razor blade and made a small cut on his finger.
A drop of blood welled upâ
But within seconds, the wound had already scabbed over and begun to heal.
Chen Huaiâan first froze in shockâ
Then immediately broke into laughter, standing tall with hands on his hips.
"Holy sh*t, am I turning into a superhuman?!"
"Hahahahahaha! This lord⦠is SUPERMAN!"
Meanwhileâ¦
A shoebox lid cracked open just a little.
Inside, a pair of sharp feline eyes glowed ominously.
The black cat, Baji, silently observed Chen Huaiâan.
ãHissâ! Somethingâs off!ã
ãWhy is this bigshot so happy? Isnât this just basic Spiritual Qi circulation speeding up internal healing?ã
ãHe has an Immortal Artifact! He has a magic sword! How does he not know this kind of basic knowledge?!ã
ãNo. This beast must leave.ã
ãThere may be opportunities here, but thereâs also something deeply unsettlingâ¦ã
ãThis king has just been reborn. I refuse to die here!ã
YesâBaji was no ordinary cat.
It was actually a young Taotieâa primordial beast that had taken over the body of a newborn black cat.
As a Taotie, it only needed to consume to grow stronger.
Originally, it had thought that following this powerful human would lead to great food.
But in the endâ
All it got was plain white rice every single day.
And now, to make things worseâthis bigshot seemed to be going insane.
Danger. Extreme danger.
If it didnât leave now, it would end up dead!
Its gaze locked onto the door.
As long as this crazy human stepped outâ
The world was vast, and it could go anywhere.
All it needed was to keep eatingâ
One day, it would become an unstoppable, world-dominating existence!
Heheheâ¦
Just imagining it made Bajiâs mouth curl into a sinister grin.
â¦
