"For now there have been no reports of that guy going into secluded training." Mark Wilson reported to Wei Jun in his office and added, "Still, according to your instructions, while we are a little aggressive, we're keeping it professional and the governnt involved. The military is helping with that so there's no need to worry about the governnt's cooperation as well. Regardless to say, if we don't take it too far, they cannot use any legitimate reason to co after us."
"Mhm." Wei Jun just nodded.
"And if they co after us in other ways, we can involve the governnt. They won't go against the governnt after all. The military is behind them." Mark Wilson reported further to which Wei Jun once again nodded.
"By the way, boss, I've been aning to ask this for so ti but..." Mark Wilson was hesitant to ask the question but Wei Jun waved his hand, giving him the permission to speak.
Hesitantly and still unsure of himself, Mark Wilson asked, "Have you not been eating these days?"
"Huh?" Wei Jun asked.
"No, it's just that, you're a little... shrink." Mark Wilson pointed to the black circles underneath Wei Jun's eyes and his sunken cheeks.
"Haa..." Wei Jun let out a long sigh before he said, looking at the ceiling as if he was looking at the sky, a serene expression on his face like a person who was about to reach the end of his life span, "I now understand the predicants of my father."
"Pardon?" Mark Wilson asked but Wei Jun simply waved his hand and said, "You're dismissed. I need to deal with so personal things."
"Ah, yes." Mark Wilson nodded and left.
Wei Jun, now left alone, sighed once again.
[They sure wrung you dry]
'I wouldn't say dry. They completely took every moisture in my body.' Wei Jun replied.
[Hahahaha]
[My wives were like that too]
[And you should be grateful]
'Why?' Wei Jun asked.
[A a cultivator grows in strength, they begin to lose worldly emotions]
[Family, wives, children]
[The desire to have them or protect them ends as one grows stronger]
[Just look at ]
[I had nine wives yet only two children]
[As years passed by, their desire to have children or show any sort of love ended]
[And what was left was just the desire to beco strong]
[Even the cultivator daughter I had was the result of my first wife's vulnerability]
[Otherwise, that would have been impossible as well]
'So you an to say won's drive ends as they grow stronger?'
[n's too]
[At a certain age, the essence of a male becos affected by Qi, decreasing the chances of having children]
[Those chances were further lowered by the desire of the won to not have any so they'd nullify the essence that entered them]
'I... see.' Wei Jun wasn't sure what to think about it. He never thought about children before, ever. His love life was a ss due to his original status and a cliched scenario like a girl liking him for himself, not his wealth never occurred to him as well.
He had never been with a woman so having children was a thought too far away but now that he was with two won and both he cared about, he didn't really know what to feel about it.
'Did you desire children?' Wei Jun asked.
[Imnsely]
[The day my firstborn, my daughter, was born was the happiest day of my life]
[I even spared the life of a rival sect master who had tried to kill ]
'Nice of you.' Wei Jun remarked.
[Yes]
[He was lucky he didn't lose his life]
[I rember how he ran out on his arms, brimming with happiness and gratitude]
'Why arms?' Wei Jun couldn't help but ask.
[Oh]
[Because his torso was splattered into millions of particles]
'... Nice of you.' Wei Jun was left speechless.
Still, as far as children were concerned, he himself had been one and if soone said he didn't know what it was like being a father, then it would be wrong. He had seen two fathers in his life who loved their children and feared their wives.
'My father and my brother.'
[How were they?]
'No idea about my father but the day my niece was born, my brother had this... expression on his face. Like for the first ti in his life, he was... uncertain. Scared.'
[But he was happy?]
'A lot.'
[Well, I suggest you think about having children then too]
[They're nothing if not a bundle of joy]
Wei Jun nodded and sighed. He looked at his watch and checked the ti. It was still three in the afternoon but the girls had told him to be ho by four. Wei Jun sighed once again and left his office, leaving Li Wei with so instructions.
~~
Next day, Wei Jun drove to his office, a little tired. Killing hundreds of monsters didn't tire him out but two won did that in such a short ti.
[Can I ask you sothing, host?]
'What?' Wei Jun asked.
[Why did you erase the Qi core?]
'Because it was holding back.' Wei Jun replied.
[I see]
The system was wise enough to understand what Wei Jun was really talking about.
To increase his Qi stat, and in doing so, increase his Qi, he needed to increase his level. However, Death Qi didn't require his level incrent. He didn't know if there was a limit to Death Qi in his body, but at the mont, his Death Qi was a lot more than his Yang Qi could have been and although he would still be bound, he would be able to increase it without increasing his level.
[There isn't one]
'What?'
[There isn't a limit to how much Death Qi you can store at once]
[It would have been usually but it's not now]
'Usually? What do you an?' Wei Jun asked.
[I'm saying that if you were usually brought into this world in soone's vessel]
[You would be in that vessel]
[To make that vessel yours]
[You'd need body reconstruction to break that body and build one that would be yours]
[However, this vessel, Wei Jun's vessel, was built for you]
[So, in a sense, it is yours]
[You, are a spawn of Death]
[A literal one]
[So you have no limit when it cos to storing Death inside of you]
Wei Jun was very much confused after the system's explanation which according to it was very simple.
'What do you an this vessel was built for ?' Wei Jun asked.
[Well, that question is for you brother more than ]
[He's the one who ca to see Pei Ruan]
'Wei Jun's mother?' Wei Jun asked. 'Why?'
[You'll have to ask him]
Wei Jun had a strange feeling about this and the scenario that ca to his mind was a little... disturbing.
'No. No. No. He's too chicken to do that to his wife.' Wei Jun imdiately dismissed the thought and convinced himself there was sothing else at play.
'For now, let's just focus on increasing my Death Qi.' Wei Jun decided to distract himself and focus on what he could do at the mont.
Just as he thought so, his phone rang. He took it out to see who it was and it turned out to be none other than Mark Wilson.
"Boss, you need to co here. Fast." Mark Wilson sounded a little... scared. Scared of not what could have happened but scared of him.
'I wonder why?' Wei Jun asked but he soon found out why. As he looked at the burning building before him, Wei Jun's anger reached his peak. The rchandise worth ten billion yuan that had been imported from ten countries around the world was stored in that building with a heavy guard but all of it was now burning to ashes.
"Haa..." Wei Jun let out a deep exhale, his expression turning calm as he looked at Mark Wilson who flinched and gulped. For so reason, a calm Wei Jun was scarier.
"What do you have?" Wei Jun asked.
"Just a distorted image, boss." Wei Jun heard from soone else and turned to look at Li Wei who extended the tablet in her hand.
As Wei Jun checked the footage, all he could see was a blurry image before an explosion shook the area and the image went blank.
Wei Jun looked at the scene with cold eyes but even he couldn't glean anything. There was no Qi trace left behind to do anything and since the accident happened in an area under the governnt jurisdiction, unless it was found out to be a Qi attack, not a terrorist one, supernatural forces such as CSF or military would not be involved.
But, Wei Jun didn't need to be told who did this. He already had a very good guess. And as if his hunch was right. He picked up the phone only to hear the words...
"How do you like my present?"
"Haha." Wei Jun chuckled as he recognized the familiar voice and crushed his phone in anger.
He looked at Li Wei, making her tremble a little, and said with a crazed look in his eyes, "Get a bike."
