Chapter 198 - Hello, Future (1/2)

“Are you OK?” Hao Ning said after he made sure that the monster was Xiao Hong. However, he was wondering why he became so terrible. He wanted to pull Xiao Hong out of it. Xiao Hong waved his hand and made himself appear standing on the ground. And then he grabbed a chair and sat on it. “My boy, I am exhausted,” he said, massaging his waist lightly, adding “I was so busy in there that I had no time to take care of my hair and fingernails. And my poor slender waist. You know, it was so terrible there!”

Hao Ning rushed to help massage Xiao Hong after seeing his appearance. He massaged him through Tianzhu massage manipulations from the “Borrow magic power”.

“Wow, so comfortable!” Xiao Hong said with closed eyes. “Brother Hao Ning, my future girlfriend must master these manipulations. So, I can have sex with her for ten days without a break. Ouch!”

“Go away,” Hao Ning said, realizing Xiao Hong was making a joke. “Ten days? I’m sure no girls will agree to be your girlfriend.”

“Pixiu…” Xiao Hong said, looking at Hao Ning with a begging face. “Brother Hao Ning, my Pixiu…” he added.

“Enough, ” Hao Ning interrupted him immediately. He continued to say, “What’s wrong with you? Why did you become like this inside? Any ghosts inside?”

“No ghosts. But my brother, you forgot something,” Xiao Hong said bitterly, adding, “This is the magic figure made by Bodhisattva. It related to future times. So, the time inside is different from the outside world. You thought that I was just inside for a few minutes, but actually, I have been there for a whole year!”

“One year?” Zhou Yuan said shockingly. He continued to ask, “So my mother has been saved?”

Looking at Zhou Yuan, Xiao Hong wanted to say something, but he did not know where to start, and his face turned into pale with anger.

Seeing Xiao Hong’s face, Hao Ning already understood what Xiao Hong thought. He had been inside for a year. There must be many stories. Zhou Yuan did not care about what happened to Xiao Hong. Instead, he only cared about his parents. This was the reason why Xiao Hong was angry about Zhou Yuan. As a moment god, in general, Zhou Yuan would not behave like this. But now he must care about his parents much more. What Zhou Yuan did seem to be similar to Liu Shuai’s. “Xiao Hong, Zhou Yuan meant that you have been inside for a year. It is so long a time. You must undergo many things and have suffered a lot…”

“All right. I know you want to help him out here,” Xiao Hong said, looking at Hao Ning. “If I were in his shoes, I also would care about my parents like him. At least, he had somebody to care about.”

“Err… I am sorry,” Zhou Yuan said, realizing that he neglected Xiao Hong’s feelings.

“It doesn’t matter,” Xiao Hong said, adding, “Over the past year, I finally found the one kind of the future to save Zhou Yuan’s mother.”

“You spent one year to find one kind of the future?” Hao Ning said shockingly. “So long,” he added.

“So long?” Xiao Hong said with a bitter smile. “It’s the shortest time. I might be trapped inside for thousands of years if I am not lucky enough. As there are many possibilities, I had to search for the best ones among all of them.”

“Oh, I see,” Hao Ning said. He understood that there were many possibilities for one thing. The future Xiao Hong suggested was difficult to find. He took a lot of time for it. “So, how many futures in total? How many did you find?”

“I searched 100 million…” Xiao Hong said with dark eye circles. “You asked how many futures? There is a saying: The future is infinite. So, there are how many futures do you think?”

“Oh, my God,” Hao Ning was shocked. What Xiao Hong said meant that there were infinite futures. That was the reason why he said one year was the shortest time for it. It might take thousands of years to find it. “Really sorry to trap you inside for so long. Actually, you could come out and ask for our help,” added Hao Ning.

“How could it be?” Xiao Hong said, shaking his head. “I, at least, can live for many many years. If you are inside and you can’t find the future, we want in 100 years, you may reincarnate yourself already. Let alone save Zhou Yuan’s mother. At that time, what can I do?”

Hearing what Xiao Hong said, Hao Ning felt touched. Xiao Hong was right. Hao Ning was an ordinary person. His life was limited. There were so many futures in the magic figure. Nobody could tell how many years it would take to find the right one. Xiao Hong sacrificed himself rather than his and Zhou Yuan’s lives. Thinking of this, Hao Ning couldn’t help saying, “Thank you very much.”

“No need. The best thing is I found it,” Xiao Hong said. What Hao Ning said made Xiao Hong feel shy. He continued to say, “What about my Pixiu?”

“Don’t worry!” Hao Ning said in confidence, adding “So far, although I don’t know where I should go to find another Auspicious Beast, I will help you as long as I am alive!”

“Thank you!” Xiao Hong said, smiling. “Can we go now?” he added.

“Go where?” Hao Ning said, wondering. “Oh, yes. I should get out of here with Zhou Yuan. So, you can do your business.”

“No, no!” Xiao Hong said, grabbing Hao Ning’s hand and waving to Zhou Yuan. “Zhou Yuan, you get out. Hao Ning, you stay with me.”

“Oh?” Hao Ning thought that Xiao Hong might not know what he was doing after one-year’s search inside. “You told me one year ago that I am an ordinary person…” he added.

“I did not say you are an ordinary person. What I said was that you don’t have power!” Xiao Hong corrected Hao Ning. “Are you thinking I don’t know what I am doing? Forget what I said before? Ha, ha…”

“Yes!” Hao Ning replied, looking at Xiao Hong and smiling. Xiao Hong became delightful as he knew Hao Ning would help him get a girlfriend. “Why do you invite me to go with you?” Hao Ning said.

“Because I found that in the key points,” Xiao Hong said with a smile. And then he became worried and said, “It requires us to go.”

“Ah? Why?” Hao Ning said, pointing to his own nose. “Why me? You mean me, a person who doesn’t have power and the burden to the magic figure will go with you? Won’t I just slow you down? ”

“More than that!” Xiao Hong said morosely. “Your going means grave risks. The power of the magic figure will be spared, and its service life will be shortened. However, it must be you. In the futures I found, only you and I can save Zhou Yuan’s parents. Or do you want me to go inside and search again?”

“Hey, don’t go,” Hao Nings said, sighing. He, actually, did not worry about himself for waiting. The time in the magic figures was different. Thousands of years inside might be a very short time outside. He felt sorry for Xiao Hong if he was inside alone. Thinking of this, Hao Ning asked, “So, what does it look like inside?”

“I don’t know,” Hao Ning said, shaking his head. “I only saw the end and the begin of it. I have no time to see the details. If so, it might take me a very long time. You guys also fast forward dirty videos. So, you have no right to ask me to search it from up to down.”

“What are the dirty videos?” Zhou Yuan asked, wondering. “Are they more interesting than the novels you introduced to me?”

“Err… totally different,” Hao Ning explained, blushing. “What I introduced to you are related to mental improvement. But the dirty videos are related to your physical and mental stuff, making you be at a higher level,” he added.

“No, no,” one of the servants for auntie Zhou said. “My lady fainted!”

“So quickly?” Xiao Hong thought. “Something must be wrong ‒ let’s go and have a look!”

Zhou Yuan did not say anything but to snap his fingers. They came into the Palace of Compassion and Tranquility. Hao Ning was not in a mood to look around when seeing Zhou Yuan’s mother laying on the bed. She seemed the same as usual aside for energy. Xiao Hong came closer to check, nodding to Zhou Yuan and Hao Ning, and then shaking his head.

“How could be like this all of a sudden?” Zhou Yuan asked the servant.

“Money, it’s all about money!” the servant answered.
