Chapter 130
Yi Luo had introduced him to a great deal, and in the end, Chu Huai chose to learn the metaphysics of the Ghost Small World.
He wondered if learning it would allow him to see his biological mother. What would she be like?
Would she be as gentle and patient as the current clan leader's wife was with Chu Yang?
Chu Huai longed for a mother's love. But the Mecha Small World wasn't like the Ghost Small World. Even if he had a talent for metaphysics, he still never saw his mother.
In the end, when he left with Yi Luo, all he did was give them a good scare.
Qiu Chi's arrival was perfectly timed, just as Chu Yang was handing a mechanical sphere to Chu Huai.
Chu Huai paused when he saw Qiu Chi and failed to catch the sphere Chu Yang handed him. It fell to the ground. Chu Yang glared at Chu Huai, his tone harsh. "Chu Huai, what are you doing? Can't you even hold something I give you? Hurry up and pick it up."
Qiu Chi floated in front of Chu Huai and said, "If you listen to him, you'll be ruined."
Chu Huai, who had been about to bend down and pick up the sphere, glanced at Qiu Chi again and didn't immediately obey Chu Yang.
Chu Yang grew even more displeased. "Chu Huai, what are you spacing out for? Didn't you hear me tell you to pick it up? What are you looking at? What's so interesting over there? Hurry up and get it."
After Chu Yang finished speaking, Qiu Chi spoke again in a leisurely tone. "Tell him you see a figure over here and ask if he can't see it."
Chu Huai looked at the sphere on the ground, then at Qiu Chi floating before him. In the end, he obediently relayed her words to Chu Yang. "Hey, there's a person over there. You don't see them?"
Of course, Chu Yang couldn't see anything. He stared wide-eyed in that direction and said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? There's clearly nothing there. Where's the figure?"
"Tell him there is. It's a woman."
Since what Qiu Chi told him to say was the truth, Chu Huai obediently said it.
Unfortunately, Chu Yang couldn't see her.
Although the Mecha World had no concept of ghosts, the four worlds had been merged for so long that even if he had never been to the others, he had heard many stories about them.
He didn't react at first, but now that he did, his eyes widened in fear. "Y-y-you, stop talking nonsense! If you keep it up, I'll beat you! Hurry up and pick it up!"
Qiu Chi: "Tell him I won't let you pick it up."
Chu Huai did as he was told. "She said she won't let me pick it up."
Although Chu Yang was just a child, he knew he was supposed to do something bad today. He might not have had a clear concept of what destroying someone's mental strength meant, but he knew that after today, he would be the most powerful, most promising, and most valued member of the Chu family, while Chu Huai would be nothing.
With a guilty conscience, he was now faced with what seemed like a ghost at his door, so naturally, Chu Yang was afraid.
He desperately wanted Chu Huai to pick up the sphere and then probe it with his mental strength.
But he was scared, and Chu Huai was just standing there like a block of wood, unmoving. He was both angry and terrified.
Seeing him trembling violently, Qiu Chi decided to add fuel to the fire.
A gust of wind blew from nowhere, chilling and mournful, like the sound of a ghost weeping...
Chu Yang could no longer bear it. He screamed, clutched his head, and ran away.
With Chu Yang gone, only the two of them remained.
Qiu Chi picked up the sphere and tossed it playfully in her hand. Chu Huai's gaze followed the sphere.
After watching for a while, he finally spoke. "You just said that if I listened to him, I'd be ruined. What did you mean? And why can't he see you?"
Qiu Chi stopped tossing the sphere and looked at Chu Huai. "Being ruined is exactly what it sounds like. And it's perfectly normal that he can't see me."
Chu Huai's gaze shifted back to the sphere in Qiu Chi's hand. "This sphere, is there something wrong with it? Chu Yang said it's a container for storing mental strength. Isn't it?"
With a slight squeeze, Qiu Chi turned the sphere into dust in her hand. "Of course not. This is something that can destroy your mental strength. In a serious case, it could have turned you into a dead man."
Chu Yang's parents naturally wanted to kill Chu Huai; he was just lucky enough not to have died.
Qiu Chi was only telling him the truth now.
Qiu Chi thought that, at this point, it would be enough for Chu Huai to see that Chu Yang and his parents were no good.
Who knew that Chu Huai's next words would leave Qiu Chi utterly speechless.
Frowning, Chu Huai said with a serious and earnest expression, "Such a dangerous thing... who gave it to Chu Yang? Is someone trying to harm him?"
Qiu Chi: "..." What the hell kind of idiot is this?
Although he was a good person, his stupidity reached a level where Qiu Chi couldn't help but want to beat him.
She didn't hit him hard enough to kill, just gave him a slap. "Why don't you just die from stupidity? Harm him? They're all working together to harm you."
After Qiu Chi spoke, Chu Huai looked astonished and incredulous. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something.
Qiu Chi immediately cut him off. "If you dare say a word in their defense right now, I'll kill you with a single slap."
"Chu Yang has run off now. His mother or father will come looking for you to ask what happened, and they'll ask about the sphere. For now, just pretend you don't know anything. When they ask, tell them about my existence. If you don't do as I say, I'll kill them all right in front of you."
Chu Huai: "...I didn't say I wouldn't."
