58.45% To Rise Again in the Apocalypse [BL] / Chapter 76: Chapter 28.1 - Unwanted Guests

Capítulo 76: Chapter 28.1 - Unwanted Guests

After dinner, Li Xinwen went back to his room. His excuse to his family was, he's too tired today after playing the whole day so he wanted to rest early. While in his room, Li Xinwen looked through the cultivation manual. 'But then... what if there are better cultivation technique for him?' he thought, since there are still more books in the dimension. Even though he said that, he still spend time to read through everything. He put those that are best compatible with Sun Xiao's body constitution aside, then sends the rest back into the dimension.

When he looked at the wall clock, he realized that it was already close to 10:00 PM. "I wonder if Hua-jie is already asleep..." he murmured in a soft voice. Though he already knew the reason why Li Jinghua is protective of her, and how Li Xinwen died, he still wanted to know more about the apocalypse. "She mentions that Mr. Min had created a pill to heal the zombie virus by using the couldron... I wonder if she saw it personally..."

Deciding to enter Li Jinghua's memories once more, Li Xinwen turned the lights off and went to his bed. Closing his eyes, he let his spiritual energy goes inside Li Jinghua's mind once more and started to look through her memories. But halfway through, he suddenly felt that someone had entered his room. Not only that, this person even got onto his bed. Thinking it was an enemy trying to assassinate him, Li Xinwen retracted his senses back and returned to his body. When he opened his eyes, he saw a figure hovering above him. A hand was under his shirt, feeling him all over his body.

"Ah, did I wake you up?" that familiar voice made Li Xinwen frown and he quickly became alert.

'This kind of person... really must not be let off so easily!' Li Xinwen said in his mind before he raised his hand up and pushed the figure off him. Pushing seems to be an understatement since the figure actually flew off the bed.

"Care to tell me why the second young master of the Xue family is in my room this late at night?!" Li Xinwen asked as he got off the bed and approached Xue Liang in a domineering manner.

Xue Liang, was at first surprised when he was suddenly pushed off but it didn't take long for that surprise to change into excitement instead. He stood up and corrected his suit while his eyes never left Li Xinwen. "So, not only did your temparament change, you also became stronger? But you've been in coma for two months, only woke up recently. So how did you manage to get this strong?" Xue Liang asked.

'This guy... something is wrong with his head,' Li Xinwen thought as he stared at Xue Liang's eyes which have a hint of madness. 'I should erase his memories. Then just call Xue Rui to pick this guy up...'

While Li Xinwen was thinking, Xue Liang continued to speak. "You see, I've already asked those doctors around but they said that nothing about you is suspicious. The discharge report says that your body still have several scars that has yet to disappear but when I touched you earlier, your skin is smooth, lacking of any scars..."

"Oh? So what does the second young master want to say?" Li Xinwen asked in a low, dangerous tone. By manipulating the spiritual energy in the room, Li Xinwen put a pressure on Xue Liang, forcing the male to fall on his knees. At the same time, he made sure to only use the pressure that a rank one Houtian practitioner can exert. After all, he didn't want to accidentally turn Xue Liang into a bloody mess on the floor. "No matter, after this, you won't remember a thing."

Li Xinwen crouched down and touched Xue Liang's forehead and he was about to inject some spiritual energy to wipe out Xue Liang's memories for the day when something unexpected happened. Because this was a mortal realm, where most of the mortals are non-cultivator, Li Xinwen had put his guard down after putting a pressure on Xue Liang. After all, it was unheard of that a mere mortal could stand against the spiritual pressure of a cultivator. And yet, Xue Liang had just proven him wrong this time.

Xue Liang moved quickly. In one swift movement, he managed to aim at Li Xinwen's neck, in his hand is a syringe filled with a solution. It was only unfortunate for Xue Rui that Li Xinwen is now a peak 4th stage Houtian, so the flimsy tip of the syringe broke the moment it hit Li Xinwen's neck.

Li Xinwen blinked for a few seconds in disbelief as he stared at Xue Liang. At the same time, Xue Liang was also sporting a look of disbelief as he stared at the syringe with a broken needle.

"You..." Xue Liang began to speak.

BAM!

Li Xinwen aimed a fist right onto Xue Liang, punching him right across his face. This punch didn't have any spiritual energy in it, it was just a normal punch. Of course, if it was up to Li Xinwen, he really wanted to beat this man before thim half to death.

This punch was already enough to make Xue Liang fall to the floor and Li Xinwen frown once again. Earlier, when Xue Liang moved, he thought that it was because this man might also be a cultivator, albeit, a low ranked one. But after seeing this, he knew that his conjenctures were wrong. A cultivator, no matter how weak he is, even if they had just started, it's impossible for them to fall with just a simple punch with no spiritual energy imbued. 'So he really is a mortal... a mortal who can stand against the pressure of a 1st stage Houtian.'

Xue Liang piqued Li Xinwen's interest. He stared at Xue Liang who are currently wiped the blood off his lips after the punch earlier.  Sitting down on the floor with his legs crossed, Li Xinwen continued to stare at the other man. "I'll give you a chance. Tell me why you're here," Li Xinwen said as he then activated Mo Yan to inspect Xue Liang's body. 'Ah, no wonder he could resist slightly,' Li Xinwen thought in his mind as he discovered the reason. 'This man completed the first stage of Body Transformation and is actually close to entering the second stage.'

Capítulo 77: Chapter 28.2 - Come and pick up your brother

Due to his curiosity, Li Xinwen increased the pressure he's exerting. From the pressure of a lower stage one Houtian to middle stage, he could see that Xue Liang was still able to resist and nothing much has changed. But when the pressure entered the peak of stage one Houtian, Xue Liang finally threw out blood and Li Xinwen immediately stopped. 'Just a mere stage one body transformation practitioner and he could already resist the pressure from a mid-stage one Houtian? He have a lot of potential. It's unfortunate that I don't like him,' Li Xinwen thought as he put his hand over Xua Liang's head and proceeded to inject his spiritual energy into him, erasing the things that has happened the moment Xue Liang got into his room.

Then, he proceeded to create a fake memory, making it that after Xue Liang entered his room, the male had an accident and fell down, knocking on his head and falling unconscious.

After he's done, he went over to his table and grabbed his phone that was charging. He scrolled over his contact list, found Xue Rui's number and proceeded to call him. It took him several rings before the phone call was finally answered.

"Hello?" Xue Rui's word were slurred before he continued to speak. "Xinwen... Ah'Wen... I love you so much and I miss you so much~"

Li Xinwen's expression turned dark when he heard this tone. "Rui-ge, are you drunk?" he asked. "Can you drive?"

"Drive1? Of course I can, Xinwen, ah! Just tell me where and I'll go to you. I promise that I can drive all night long and give you the utmost pleasure~"

Li Xinwen: ...

Li Xinwen couldn't say anything. He became speechless at Xue Rui's reply because he didn't understand what the man had meant until he remembered a certain modern slang. His face is immediately covered in black lines and he was just about to scold Xue Rui when he heard another voice from the other line.

"Xiao Rui, you're drunk. Let your big bro answer it," then following that voice, Li Xinwen could hear Xue Rui struggling.

"No! Brother... please don't take Xinwen away from me!!"

Li Xinwen then decided to simply wait for the people on the other side to be done while glancing over at Xue Liang who is out cold on the floor. Not long after, Li Xinwen heard Xue Rui's voice again.

"Xinwen, are you still there?" he asked, his tone sounding very pitiful.

"Here," Li Xinwen replied. "Rui-ge, I won't repeat this so listen carefully... come over quickly and pick up your brother," Li Xinwen said before he cut off the phone call. 

* * * 

Few hours before Li Xinwen's phone call, 7pm at Fluorescene Club, Xue Rui met with his eldest brother. In this private room, there were only two of them and no one else. Xue Rui sat down opposite of his brother who has a stoic expression. "You look well, Jun-ge. I guess the army is treating you right?" Xue Rui asked as he greeted his brother, Xue Jun.

Xue Jun just nods his head at Xue Rui's question. "Have you eaten?" his brother asked and Xue Rui shook his head.

"I went straight over after work... I finished up quite late so I didn't have time to eat," Xue Rui replied.

"Then, let's eat something first. Pad your stomach before drinking."

They then proceeded to call for the waiter. Because they are frequent customers in this club, they simply ordered the usual and the waiter understood.

"Xiao Rui, tell me what happened with Xue Liang earlier."

Xue Rui was distressed when he remembered what happened earlier. How Xue Liang had said he had taken advantage of Li Xinwen behind his back by impersonating him. Just thinking of it made his heart heavy and caused him a headache from all the stress. He slowly explained to Xue Jun about Xue Liang's matter and the eldest of the triplet also felt a headache coming.

From when they were young, Xue Liang had always been a troublesome child. The reason lay with their parents. Their father, Xue Yunfeng, only focused on raising the eldest to be his successor. On the other hand, their mother only dotted on the youngest and even spoiled Xue Rui. Xue Liang would always felt that he has no place in his own home so his rebellious phase came early.

Things got worse when they entered their teens. Xue Liang was caught in a street fight and when their father was informed of it, the man was livid. It was only then that they found out that Xue Liang had joined the underground organization. Xue Yunfeng was very close to disowning Xue Liang then, but he was stopped by their grandfather. Old Xue tells Xue Yunfeng to let Xue Liang do as he pleased, but at the same time, he also told Xue Liang that he as not allowed to step into their ancestral home until he reached the top of the food chain within the underworld circle.

This was tantamount to Old Xue's wishes to subdue the underworld circle. At that time, Old Xue's rank was that of a General, a rank above Xue Yunfeng who was a Lieutenant General at the time. Then, two years ago, Xue Liang returned to their ancestral home with his head held up high. In just five years, he managed to become the master of the underground organization. But at the same time, Xue Jun had also reached the rank of Brigadier General at the age of 20, making him the youngest to reach the rank in history. Then, a few months after, Xue Rui had also gotten great achievements in the business world, making him the youngest man to become a business tyrant.

All sorts of praise hailed from every direction for the Xue Family. But due to the nature of Xue Liang's business, his achievements were naturally concealed. Feeling that the family is treating him unfairly again, Xue Liang 'ran away' from home. Although he ran away, he still keeps close in touch with his brothers.

"I sent some men to search for Xiao Er but he really knows how to hide. If he didn't want to be found, then he won't be found," Xue Jun said with a heavy sigh. "I should put a tracker on him when we see him again..."

"Ge, that aside, what should I do? Because of Er ge, my relationship with Xinwen became very complicated... Please tell me how to fix this..." Xue Rui said helplessly.

Xue Jun was just about to answer when the waiter came in with their food. "We'll talk later. First, let us eat," Xue Jun said as he picked up his utensil. Xue Jun was raised in a very strict manner and one of the rules he was taught is that one should not speak while eating. Xue Rui understood this so he just quietly ate his food.

After dinner, they ordered a couple of bottles of wine and in just a few hours, Xue Rui was totally spent. He continued to complain about Xue Liang's matter to Xue Jun who only gives out comments every now and then. It wasn't until Li Xinwen called did he feel slightly better. But the final sentence that Li Xinwen told him before cutting off the call made him sobered up. 'Pick up my brother...?'

"Xiao Rui, what's wrong?" Xue Jun asked when he saw the change in his brother's expression.

It took Xue Rui a while to process what happened and once he got it all figured out, his face went dark. "Brother! I'm going to the Li household!" he said as he stood up and grabbed his coat. Though he felt slightly sober, he was still drunk so it was not good for him to drive.

"Driving at this state? If you want to go and meet your maker that quickly, feel free. If not, then wait for a bit. Big bro will pay and then we'll go to the Li household. Big bro has someone waiting for us outside," Xue Jun said as he too stood up. "But you will explain to me what happened in the car."

"En. Thank you, Jun-ge," Xue Rui replied. "And... it's just that, Xinwen said that Xue Liang is there with him... now I'm feeling anxious..."

"We'll go quickly," Xue Jun said, understanding his brother's worry. Deep inside, he was also worried. Though he never told his brother, he had looked up at Li Xinwen's information once out of curiosity and when he learned more about Li Xinwen, he can't help but develop a feeling toward the other. Unfortunately, because Xue Rui fancied him, Xue Jun decided to give up and did not look for the male again so he never found out about Xue Liang's matter until today. 'If I continued to keep an eye on him, I could've kept him safe...' he thought to himself, feeling regretful.

  1. In case some people don't know, it can also mean sexual inuendoes.
