The Mystical Biological Mother Returns, the Villainous Sons Stand Up Straight – Chapter 83

Ch 83: You Can Consider Me Dead

Before reaching the door, the dark red double wooden doors were pushed open a crack, and a black cat elegantly walked out from the opening.

Gu Qingyin lowered her eyes and recognized it, “Little White?”

The black cat meowed and rubbed against Gu Qingyin’s ankle affectionately.

Old Liu was very surprised, “It’s actually acting affectionate with you.”

Gu Qingyin really wanted to bend down and pet it, but Mao Mao was sleeping on her shoulder, and she was afraid of waking him up.

“Maybe this one is more friendly.”

Old Liu didn’t say anything. A Soul Beast being friendly was as absurd as a Fierce Ghost enjoying helping others.

Huo Xingchen stared at the black cat, “Is this the paper figure from just now?”

The black cat looked up at him and meowed softly, as if it was acting cute.

Huo Xingchen thought, this isn’t any different from an ordinary cat, except that it can possess people.

Old Liu walked to the door and knocked.

A slightly deep, magnetic voice came from inside the door, “Please come in.”

The black cat turned around, nimbly jumped ahead of them, and squeezed through the door crack again.

Old Liu then pushed the door open and went inside, with Gu Qingyin and Huo Xingchen following behind him.

As soon as she entered, Gu Qingyin was dazzled again.

This was the first time in reality that she had truly experienced what “magnificent” meant. Her eyes were filled with shimmering gold, so bright that she couldn’t open her eyes. It was excessively exaggerated!

How could anyone live in this environment for a long time? It was already causing light pollution! Wouldn’t they go blind after a long time?

Gu Qingyin squinted her eyes to look for someone in the room, and then she realized that the room was very large, with not much furniture, but everything looked very expensive. In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows facing the door was a desk, which looked like it was made of marble, with gold trim around it…

She only glanced at it before turning her head away, unable to bear it any longer. She raised her hand and tossed a coin upwards.

With a “bang,” the overhead lights shattered in response, and the room immediately darkened a lot.

Old Liu’s expression froze, and he secretly cried out that things were bad.

Gu Qingyin breathed a sigh of relief, feeling much more comfortable.

“What are you doing?” A voice filled with gritted teeth came from the left.

Gu Qingyin looked over and couldn’t help but close her eyes—damn it, her eyes were dirtied.

What bizarre taste did Tuoba Yan have! A emerald green suit, a yellow shirt, a purple tie, and a gold chain thicker than her thumb!

She turned her back to Tuoba Yan, tilted her head, and said to Old Liu, “Don’t tell me that the parrot behind him is the new President of the Mystical Arts Association.”

Huo Xingchen had also seen it just now, and the shock he received was no less than Gu Qingyin’s. He was now in a very complicated mood. His filter for the Mystical Arts World had shattered completely at this moment.

Even the President was a freak with bizarre aesthetics, so how could he expect any normal people under him?

Old Liu didn’t dare to speak. President Tuoba was glaring at him with fire in his eyes.

“Taoist Priest Liu, you’re also a veteran member of the Association, how can you bring people to the President’s office so casually?” Tuoba Yan was very dissatisfied, and therefore forgot to lower his voice. His voice was completely different from before. It couldn’t be said to be unpleasant, only that it was ordinary and unremarkable.

Old Liu smiled apologetically, “We’re here for official business this time.” After a pause, he glanced at the ruined lights, “How much did that light cost? Gu Qingyin can pay the full amount.”

Gu Qingyin “hmm?” in confusion. She could pay for the light, but who would pay for her eyes?

Gu Qingyin? Tuoba Yan frowned slightly. That name sounded familiar. Where had he heard it before?

While thinking, he slowly walked behind Gu Qingyin, and said in a commanding tone, “Turn around.”

Gu Qingyin’s whole body tensed up, and she stubbornly said, “I won’t, unless you change your clothes.”

Tuoba Yan looked down at his clothes, and frowned in confusion, “What’s wrong with my clothes?”

Gu Qingyin was shocked. How could he even ask that question!

Huo Xingchen adjusted his mentality. As long as he treated Tuoba Yan as a clown, these clothes wouldn’t be so unacceptable.

Tuoba Yan became impatient and took two steps forward, wanting to walk in front of Gu Qingyin to take a good look at this person.

As a result, as he walked, Gu Qingyin also walked, and the two of them turned in a circle, returning to their original positions.

Tuoba Yan: …

Gu Qingyin: “Just say what you need to say.”

The veins on Tuoba Yan’s forehead were about to pop out, “I should be the one saying that, right?”

Gu Qingyin was silent for a second. Right, she was here to report. The successive shocks just now were a bit too much, and she had forgotten.

She pointed back at Mao Mao, “Take a look at this little guy first. Can you tell anything?”

Only then did Tuoba Yan realize that what Gu Qingyin had on her shoulder wasn’t a decoration, but…

“A Soul Beast?”

Gu Qingyin said expressionlessly, “No, take a closer look.”

Tuoba Yan frowned and looked closely. After several seconds, he asked, “Can I take it down and take a look?”

“…How exactly did you become the President?”

Tuoba Yan couldn’t stand others questioning his strength the most, and his face darkened immediately. He raised his hand to grab Mao Mao.

Sensing the danger, the sleeping Mao Mao woke up instantly. Before he even opened his eyes, the entire monkey shot out and pounced directly on Old Liu, then turned his head and bared his teeth at Tuoba Yan.

Tuoba Yan’s hand also didn’t land on anything, and Gu Qingyin grabbed his wrist directly.

He couldn’t care about Mao Mao anymore. He twisted his hand back to break free, but underestimated Gu Qingyin’s strength. Not only did he not break free, but a sharp pain came from his wrist.

“Don’t move.” Gu Qingyin warned in a cold voice, “If the President is beaten in the office, it will damage the image of the Mystical Arts Association.”

Tuoba Yan’s face flushed red. He looked at Old Liu with a bit of a breakdown, and questioned, “What exactly are you trying to do?”

Unexpectedly, Old Liu also had complaints, “President Tuoba, can’t you speak properly? Why are you resorting to violence?” Mao Mao was scared!

Just as Tuoba Yan was about to get angry, Gu Qingyin took a deep breath, released his wrist, and quickly recounted the matter about the Candle Dragon, and explained Mao Mao’s identity, and finally stated the key point.

“I want to register Mao Mao’s identity information. Whichever certificate is issued faster, just get that one.” After a pause, Gu Qingyin asked, “There shouldn’t be any new certificates issued in the past few years, right? The only two that strange beast can get are still those two, right?”

Pet License or Residence Permit.

A Pet License meant that the Strange Beast was raised by a Taoist Master, and the owner was responsible for all its words and actions.

A Residence Permit meant temporarily residing in human society as a Strange Beast, being able to engage in human work, and being able to have social interactions with humans. At first glance, it seemed more free, but the rules and restrictions were stricter.

After Gu Qingyin finished asking, she didn’t hear a response for a long time, so she couldn’t help but frown and ask, “Is there a problem?”

After she turned around, she had been looking down at Tuoba Yan’s shoes to avoid hurting her eyes, so she missed his shocked expression.

Tuoba Yan came back to his senses, his eyes filled with disbelief, “You, you’re that Gu Qingyin who took on a special mission twenty years ago?! You actually came back alive!”

Gu Qingyin frowned and pondered, “Well…you can also consider me dead.”
