Chapter 550: A Twist in Fate: The Master’s Lesson

Chapter 550: Master, Take Your Apprentice Out (Update 3)

A system task notification appeared in his head. Lin

Xiao Yu realized that this case was about to turn into a real mess.

Warning from the Little White Boat…

Don’t stay at home, playing happily with Baby and your sister.

Sometimes he seriously considered quitting and going back to the warmth of a family with wife and child by the heated kang.

He had a feeling that his method of transmigration in this life was all wrong.

Normally, a transmigrator wouldn’t even care about having a system.

Maybe he should have been born into a scheming and conniving large family?

A biased adoptive mother, a harsh father.

And a foolish brother who constantly looked down on him.

A peacock of a sister who made life difficult and despised him.

Plus a silly little sister who always snatched his food and treated him with disdain.

As the protagonist, he was nothing but a simpleton in everyone else’s eyes.

Humiliated, despised, and trampled on…

Finally, in a fit of anger, he left home only to randomly bump into an old man who patted him on the head with a smile.

From then on, his life was filled with extraordinary adventures… the war god had returned.

He would lead ten thousand divine-level warriors to sweep aside every foe.

With just a glance, his underlings would obliterate his enemies.

Then, when he returned home, he would strongly take control of the family that had long been under his nose.

Beat up his brother, hit his sister, kick his little sister, and finally kick his heartless father and venomous adoptive mother out to live in the doghouse.

Later, a horde of stunning, nation-dazzling beauties would swarm in, all vying to be with him.

Queens, domineering tycoons, princesses, military women, medical experts, police officers… they would all fall madly in love with him.

As he thought about it, Xiao Yu felt surprisingly delighted.

No, it was downright explosive pleasure.

This was exactly the transmigration life he had always wanted!

Snapping out of his daydream, Xiao Yu returned to the harsh reality.

It felt just like an innocent dog walking along the road.

Getting inexplicably kicked… damn it!

No, he was just being greedy… Xiao Yu thought about his life: his parents, his mother-in-law, his sister, and Baby.

Not to mention a huge group of friends in this life.

A wry smile appeared on his face.

His teeth bared, his lips nearly split his cheeks.

Even though he was still a policeman in this life, things were not too bad.

Yet… this was life.

He loved this kind of life… Check-in complete!

【Ding! Congratulations, Host, on successfully checking into the case!】

【System Reward: Ability Unlocked – Plant Expert!】

【System Task Assigned: Solve the Shooting and Homicide Case!】

【Time Limit for the Case: 30 Days!】

【If you complete the task within the time limit, you’ll earn an additional system skill: Stone Tortoise Fang!】

【If you fail, the system abilities granted to you will be revoked!】

【Task countdown begins…】

Xiao Yu had long grown numb to the bizarre abilities and skills the system granted. There was no choice.

In the next moment, an avalanche of plant-related knowledge was force-fed into his brain and body.

Plant expert… that was way too far out for him!

Shaking his head, Xiao Yu walked towards a group of three not far away.

He nodded to Wang Cheng and Zhou Yanyu before looking at Mu Qingwu. “Sis…”

“Get to work,”

Mu Qingwu’s lovely eyes shimmered with water-like gentleness. “Make sure to come home early.”

“Okay.”

Ignoring his apprentice and outsiders, Xiao Yu pulled Mu Qingwu into a hug and kissed her smooth forehead. “When I get back, I’ll cook you something delicious.”

“Alright!”

Mu Qingwu responded with the warmth and care of a big sister next door.

Wang Cheng, who had been force-fed a dose of puppy love, watched his affectionate master and mistress with envious eyes.

Zhou Yanyu gave Wang Cheng a brief, complex glance.

“Let’s go.”

Releasing his sister, Xiao Yu shot a knowing look at his apprentice and walked towards the Red Flag Car.

“I-I’ll treat you to a meal when I get back,”

Wang Cheng’s face lit up with his signature goofy smile in front of Zhou Yanyu.

“Got it.”

Zhou Yanyu replied in a nonchalant tone.

The two women watched as the two men got into the car.

It wasn’t until the car disappeared from their sight that they finally moved.

“Mu, are you really happy after getting married?”

A hint of perplexity crossed Zhou Yanyu’s delicate face.

“Happy?”

Mu Qingwu smiled elegantly, like a celestial fairy untouched by worldly affairs. “It’s not just about happiness, it’s about fulfillment!”

“Fulfillment?” Zhou Yanyu questioned, puzzled.

“When you’re alone, it’s peaceful and abundant. With someone, it’s warm and reassuring.”

Mu Qingwu’s eyes curved in a crescent smile, sweet and charming. “A pinch of money for buying rice and oil, someone to cook, someone to wait, and children by your side—now that’s the true taste of life.”

“The taste… of life?”

Zhou Yanyu seemed to understand, yet remained uncertain.

“Yes, the everyday joys of life.”

·· ······· Seeking applause ··· ········

Mu Qingwu laughed softly. “I still remember what my brother once told me… Life’s joy can be summed up in three cold beers, two pots of crayfish, and one gulp to savor the vibrant chaos that washes away the solitude. Life is messy but beautifully intricate. He understood it better than I ever could!”

Zhou Yanyu’s heart skipped a beat.

A hidden longing shimmered in her eyes.

Could she give it a try?

……

Aboard the Red Flag Car heading to the Criminal Investigation Team.

“Master, this world really isn’t fair to us guys.”

Wang Cheng, driving, wore an expression of worldly insight. “Why is it always us guys chasing girls? Why can’t they chase us instead?”

“Could you say something a bit more mature?”

…… … 0

Xiao Yu burst into laughter at the idiot’s antics. “Have you ever considered this: on a farm, when a sow mates with a boar, the sow has to pay the boar’s side. And when a cow mates with a bull, money still changes hands. Why do you think that is?”

“Damn!”

Wang Cheng was left dumbfounded. “Aren’t we guys as good as pigs and cows?”

“Is that really the point?” Xiao Yu chuckled, shaking his head.

“So what’s the point then?” Wang Cheng asked earnestly.

“The point is…”

Xiao Yu grinned at his apprentice. “Do you want to be a human, or do you want to be livestock?”

“Uh!” Wang Cheng was utterly baffled.

It was indeed a thought-provoking question.

“Wake up and stop daydreaming—it’s not even bedtime yet…”

Xiao Yu laughed and said, “If you want someone to like you, you at least need to know what they want.”

“It’s just that I’m inexperienced.”

Wang Cheng complained, “Master, isn’t there anything girls want us to remember?”

“There’s plenty.”

Xiao Yu thought for a moment. “For example, when a girl is angry, a strong kiss will do. And if you pinch her neck, don’t go overboard. Also, when she tells you to call her ‘dad’, that’s a major turn-off. If you cheer her up, she’ll start calling you ‘dad’ on her own. And here’s the key… after you’re married, if a girl tells you she’s off to shower, you’d better run for it!”

Wang Cheng nearly drove the car off the road.

“Holy sh—, awesome, 666…”

“Old driver—no, Master, please take on your apprentice once more.”

“You’re way too fast; my Maca (Maka Baka) can’t keep up!”
