Chapter 43: This Is the General’s Father

Chapter 43: This Is the General's Father

Just as Shen Cun was about to have a heart attack and faint, a sharp arrow shot swiftly toward Bai Yeye.

Bai Yeye sensed the danger from behind and was about to dodge when Shen Cun stepped in front of him, catching the arrow with one hand. With a twist of his fingers, he sent the arrow flying back along its original trajectory.

The archer hadn't even reacted before the arrow struck him between the eyes, and he fell to the ground without a sound.

Bai Yeye's teasing look turned serious. This man was incredibly fast, and his strength was terrifying.

With one archer dead, dozens of masked figures emerged from all directions. But they didn't dare approach recklessly, knowing full well they were no match for Shen Cun.

Vendors and passersby fled in all directions, and soon the flower market was empty except for them.

"Get lost!" Shen Cun's brows furrowed. His voice wasn't loud, yet the pressure weighed down on the men in black like a thousand-pound mountain.

Not just them—Bai Yeye felt it too.

This man was definitely no ordinary person. With such an aura, at the very least he was a general from another planet, perhaps even an emperor.

"We mean no offense, sir. We only wish to take the fat dog behind you. We ask for your convenience, and we will surely repay you handsomely."

Bai Yeye looked around. What fat dog?

The people from the base formed a protective circle around him. "Yeye, don't be afraid. We'll protect you. We won't let them hurt you."

Bai Yeye: ...

"I'll say it again. Get lost. If you're still here in ten seconds, your fate will be the same as his." Shen Cun glanced at the man with the arrow in his forehead.

Those words made Bai Yeye's heart skip a beat. That was so familiar... who was it?

"Ten, nine..."

He had only counted to two before the masked men fled as if they'd seen a ghost, not even daring to negotiate.

Only after they left did Shen Cun retract his oppressive aura. He turned back to Bai Yeye, still exasperated.

What was he going to do with this nightclub fat dog?

Bai Yeye wagged his tail at the man. "Thank you! Let me treat you to a meal!"

Even though he could have handled it on his own, the man had voluntarily helped him, so he had to repay the favor.

Shen Cun took a step back. "No thanks. I'm afraid I won't be able to breathe in your club."

"Then we won't go to the club. I'll buy you lobster! But you gotta wait a sec."

Bai Yeye picked out a few beautiful flowers, carefully stored them in his Space Storage, and left a stack of cash under the flowers for the stall owner to pick up when he got back.

Shen Cun noticed a few details about him: a top-tier Space Storage, and he paid so much for just a bunch of flowers. Looks like running a nightclub really pays.

"Let's go, let's go! You all come too!" Bai Yeye called to his friends from the base.

Among those in the base, only Gu Yuankai and a few high-ranking officers recognized Shen Cun. These others didn't recognize him, so they were wary.

"Yeye, why don't we eat at the base? It's almost meal time, and the mess hall's ready." That way they wouldn't have to worry about Yeye's safety.

Bai Yeye looked at Shen Cun. "What would you like to eat?"

"Let's go to your base." Shen Cun wanted to ask his son face-to-face what he saw in this little fat dog.

"Okay."

The base guys walked ahead, while Bai Yeye deliberately slowed down to chat with Shen Cun. "Handsome, what do you do for a living?"

"An emperor."

"I look like an emperor, yet you still dared to invite me to a nightclub?"

"What's there to be afraid of? Our Ye Club is under Shen Yu's protection." Bai Yeye lifted his little head proudly.

Shen Cun pinched the bridge of his nose. "Does Shen Yu visit often?"

"Of course. He always calls for me when he comes."

"..." His precious son didn't inherit any of his seriousness.

"Oh, by the way, how do you know Shen Yu?"

Shen Cun wasn't ready to reveal his identity yet. "Mm."

Bai Yeye looked at him, surprised. This was the first time he'd seen a friend of Shen Yu's who wasn't from the base.

"That was amazing. You must be an SSS-level alpha too!"

"You're also SSS-level, right?"

Bai Yeye hesitated. "How did you know?"

He hadn't even made a move.

"Only SSS-level alphas can freely switch between human and beast forms."

"What human form? I'm just a pet dog."

Shen Cun glanced at him. "Don't play pretend with me. It's useless."

His résumé wasn't a joke. Even without having met Bai Yeye before, he could tell that Bai Yeye could definitely transform into a human.

Bai Yeye gulped. This guy was really terrifying. But then again, anyone who could be friends with Shen Yu had to be tough.

"Handsome, are you married?" Bai Yeye actually liked him, and since he was Shen Yu's friend, his character should be reliable. Maybe he could introduce his cute little cousin to him—they could hit it off.

"Single for now. Are you planning to set me up?"

"You interested?" Bai Yeye didn't want to push it.

"Someone from your club?"

"Mm-hmm!" His cousin was a Samoyed too.

Shen Cun sighed. "No thanks. I'm not into that."

Bai Yeye went into sales mode. "How will you know if you don't try? Everyone at Ye Club has fair skin, pretty faces, long legs, and tiny, delicate waists."

Shen Cun stared at Bai Yeye's barrel-like body and sank into thought.

Bai Yeye kept pitching all the way to the base. Seeing that Shen Cun really wasn't interested, he had to give up. Only after he stopped did Shen Cun ask, "What stage are you at with Shen Yu?"

Mentioning this made Bai Yeye a bit embarrassed: "How can you expect me to say something like that?"

Shen Cun said patiently, "Let's just chat normally. Don't worry, I won't tell Shen Yu."

Hearing that, Bai Yeye got excited. He’s the type who really likes to share, but no one knew about this except Bai Ruoshui. Finally, someone to chat with: "We're one step away from the sparks flying."

"?"

"Still gathering the firewood."

So they were still at the stage of hinting at each other. Bai Yeye was very clear about his own feelings, but he was a shy Yeye and couldn't bring himself to say it.

Shen Cun started to say something then stopped: "You said he often asks for you. I thought you two had already, already..."

"No, we've only bathed together, lain in bed together, and hugged. But for now, it's still pure friendship."

"?"

You call that pure friendship?

Shen Cun suddenly got a bit worried. They've even bathed together and still haven't hooked up. Could there be something wrong with his son?

"When you bathed, didn't Shen Yu have any reaction?"

"I couldn't tell if he was, but I sure was."

"Turned on by what?"

Bai Yeye's face turned bright red: "What else could it be? Of course, I wanted to squeeze his muscles. He's so big—oh, I mean his muscles. Don't get the wrong idea—I haven't seen that yet."

"You seem pretty disappointed, huh?"

"Of course. I wonder if I'll get to see it next time." This was about his future sex life.

Just as Bai Yeye finished speaking, he bumped right into Gu Yuankai.

"Yeye, you're back for dinner? Oh! Uncle Shen, what brings you here!" Gu Yuankai hurried over to greet Shen Cun.

Bai Yeye froze. Uncle Shen?!

Shen Cun liked Gu Yuankai: "Xiao Gu, long time no see."

"Yeah, I've always been thinking about you. The General is still in a meeting. Please wait a moment—right this way." Gu Yuankai was careful not to neglect him.

Shen Cun waved his hand casually: "No problem. I've been enjoying our chat. I'd like to talk a bit more."

"Yeye, this is the General's father. Don't say anything out of line, okay? It's fine to joke with us, but he's an elder, so watch your words." Gu Yuankai reminded Bai Yeye.

Bai Yeye's legs went weak. Was saying he wanted to see his son's * right in front of the father considered speaking out of line?
