Quick Transmigration: Homewrecker System!

"Bai Gege…"

"Han Shun? Why are you here? What's wrong?"

Han Shun heard a voice suddenly appear right in front of him. He looked up and saw Bai Gege looking at him worriedly. He crouched in front of Han Shun and put his palm on Han Shun's forehead, checking whether the young man was sick or something.

"This is still quite early. You must've been tired since yesterday. You should sleep more, okay?"

"Gege!" Han Shun didn't care whether he was acting unscrupulously right now. But he lunged towards Bai Shijue and hugged him tightly. "Gege, where were you?! I really thought you were gone!"

"Wha—" Bai Shijue didn't know the thought process of the young man, but it didn't seem to be bright sunshine and sparkle.

"I'm just going out to find something. You're worrying too much," Bai Shijue said. He pushed Han Shun to separate their bodies because the young man was very sticky to him.

"Gege, I'm worried that you are leaving me…" Han Shun said. He looked so sad and desperate as if he was clinging to his last life.

"Aish, you're 13 years old, not a baby anymore. Don't be too sticky on me," Bai Shijue scolded lightly. He sighed and took something from his pocket. "I went out searching for this."

Bai Shijue showed ginger that was golden-colored. It had a very strong smell, and by the looks of it, it should be very rare, expensive, or both.

"What is that, Gege?"

"I just went around to find golden ginger to boost your vitality. This should restore your energy. Now, go and boil hot water. You're going to drink this as a ginger tea."

Han Shun nodded happily and quickly went to the kitchen to boil water.

[Pupa: Why did you lie to him?]

[About what?]

[Pupa: About the place where you get that golden ginger. You make it sound like it's just a walk in the park.]

[Pupa: You literally fought a chimera that stranded from the forest of the mist and spent the whole night trying to find it in the border between the mortal realm and the forest of the mist.]

[Well, that's because I don't want Han Shun to feel like I'm doping so much for him. I don't want him to feel that he was important to me.]

[If I told him how I spent the whole night searching for this, to make sure that he would be able to cultivate, even had to fight a chimera, he would think that I cared so much.]

[He is already 13 years old. I really want to pamper him, but just like what you said. He needs to grow up and babying him would only complicate the situation.]

Pupa watched how Bai Yunyu was smiling as he watched the back of Han Shun, filling the ceramic teapot with water to boil. Even in this kind of situation, Pupa could see that Bai Yunyu did this mission seriously. He didn't want to fuck around, especially with a good kid like Han Shun.

He just wanted to finish the task and see what would happen next.

[Pupa: You've grown a lot.]

[Hm? What did you say?]

[Pupa: Nothing.]

Han Shun served the teapot, cup, and bowl on the table for Bai Gege.

Bai Shijue sat on the chair and put the golden ginger inside the teapot. They waited for a while, and once Bai Shijue thought it was ready, he poured the tea from the teapot into a cup in front of Han Shun.

The tea that came out of the pot was actually clear, with no color. But the smell of the golden ginger wafted Han Shun's nose. He closed his eyes and inhaled this intoxicating scent.

He felt floating, but at the same time, his body also felt healthier with just an inhale from it.

"Drink it after it's cooled down a bit. It will help you," Bai Shijue said.

"Un! Thank you so much, Gege!" Han Shun waited for a minute and then started sipping the golden ginger tea.

Even the taste of the tea was out of this world. Han Shun closed his eyes and felt his qi start circulating around his body. This was definitely not something that Bai Gege could have without any effort.

Even if Bai Gege didn't tell him how he got this golden ginger. Han Shun already knew that Bai Gege must've spent the whole night to find it.

'Bai Gege… you cared for me that much. How am I supposed to repay you back?' Han Shun thought in his heart as he stared at Bai Gege. 'Bai Gege… you've done so much for me, but the only thing that I can do is making troubles for you.'

'Han Shun will work his best to make you proud!'

…

[Um… Pupa, why is Han Shun looking at me like that?]

[Pupa:… probably just feel grateful. Don't think too much about it.]

"Drink as much as you want. That golden ginger is for you," Bai Shijue said. "Meet me in my courtyard after you finish. I will check on your spiritual root once more."

"Yes, thank you, Bai Gege!"

Han Shun drank everything, even went as far as eating the golden ginger inside the teapot, just to make sure that he wouldn't waste anything that Bai Gege gave to him.

Then he went to Bai Gege's courtyard to check on his spiritual root once more.

Since that mysterious black-golden robe man said that he was already gifted with a great spiritual root and strong qi to start cultivating, that meant he had no worry.

'But that mysterious man told me that I didn't need any of those five elements of nature. I don't know what that means, though….'

"Sit in front of me, Han Shun," Bai Shijue said, and the young man followed his instruction obediently. "Close your eyes, and I will check your internal foundation once more."

Han Shun closed his eyes, and Bai Shijue put his palm on Han Shun's back.

Bai Shijue closed his eyes and inspected the spiritual root of Han Shun.

But what he found wasn't what he expected.

Because Han Shun didn't have the traditional one of five elements, it was a lot more sinister than he thought.
