Chapter 182 The tiger has no intention of eating the sheep, but the sheep has the intention of feeding the tiger
My buddy feels that in the future, I will probably be labeled with the eight words "human-shaped X-drug, human cannon" - but why?
Ouyang Ke paraded through the streets with his 24 concubines, all wearing the same mounts and uniforms, and he kept a large number of concubines at home, but no one said anything bad about him. In the TV series, Ouyang Ke also had a lot of fans at every turn...
Why should I, Liang Kun, have to bear this scumbag reputation when others have a crush on me?
To be fair, Ni Kun really doesn't have any special feelings towards Li Xiuning.
At most, I was just a little curious about her because of the impression I had from the novels I read in my previous life.
But after Yang Zhi saw it, his curiosity was satisfied and he really didn't have any special thoughts anymore.
I haven't even finished eating the meat at my mouth and I'm busy practicing, so how can I have the time to think about other people's meat?
Otherwise, with the means of my great Ni Kun, do you think Li Xiuning still has a chance to fall in love with lovesickness?
I had already eaten it all up.
In order to prevent his image from being ruined by the world, Ni Kun decided to try to redeem himself:
"Sister Mei, Li Xiuning is suffering from lovesickness, can't she just find Chai Shao?
"The First Emperor wouldn't have stopped Chai Shao from meeting Li Xiuning, would he?"
“…”
Mei Chaofeng curled her lips, said nothing, folded her arms across her chest, and looked at him with sharp eyes, as if to say, "I'll just watch you pretend."
Xiaoqing whispered:
"I thought so. During the three months when the master was in seclusion, Li Xiuning used to come here every six or seven days, but recently she hasn't come for more than ten days in a row. I thought she had finally come to her senses, but I didn't expect that she had become ill..."
Ni Kun glared at her unhappily, coughed twice, and said:
"Sister Mei, are you sure that Li Xiuning will get better after I go there?"
Mei Chaofeng nodded:
"She has lost her appetite and has trouble sleeping, which is why she got sick. If you go over there and let her feel at ease, eat well and sleep well, then won't she be cured?"
Ni Kun frowned and said:
"But won't this make her fall deeper and deeper? After all, she has a fiancé..."
Mei Chaofeng sneered:
"You can get a divorce after getting married, so what if you have a fiancé? Just cancel the engagement! Anyway, Sanniang and Chai Shao were only married by their parents, not because they loved each other. Besides, it wasn't Sanniang who let Chai Shao down first. It was he who first joined the Qin Emperor and let down the Li family."
break off an engagement?
Don’t look down on the young and poor. Thirty years in the west, thirty years in the east.
This is quite lethal!
I am not afraid of Chai Shao's 30 years of rule.
I’m afraid that in the future my title will be labeled as “wife-stealer”.
So Ni Kun quickly shook his head:
"Sister Mei, you are making a far-fetched argument. Wasn't Chai Shao unlucky and was maliciously recommended by his enemies, so he was forced to serve the Emperor of Qin and stayed in Chang'an? How can he be considered to have let down the Li family?"
"Oh, we did think so at first. We thought Chai Shao was just unlucky."
Mei Chaofeng curled her lips and said disdainfully:
“But this time when I came to Chang’an and personally visited the Qin Empire, I realized that the Emperor of Qin was very confident and did not closely monitor the officials who were recruited and served. Perhaps in the eyes of the Emperor of Qin, anyone with eyes could see that he was the one who could pacify the world?
"Anyway, as far as we know, when the Emperor Qin started his army in Dunhuang, there were many people in his army who were half-hearted, and some even reported the Qin army's movements to the outside world and sold out the Qin army's intelligence.
“But after taking Chang’an, the Emperor of Qin forgave the past. After seeing the might of the Emperor’s army, those wavering fellows became loyal and no longer dared to waver.
"Chai Shao is a smart man, and he probably figured out that the Li clan cannot defeat the Qin army.
"So after being maliciously recommended by his enemies, he happily took up the post of palace attendant. He was also highly regarded by the Emperor of Qin for his bravery in battle and the military tactics passed down from his military family. When he followed Li Jing to fight against the Turks, he made many military achievements.
"If he still has the Li family in his heart, why didn't he slip away earlier? Anyway, the Emperor Qin is not keeping a close watch on him. If he wants to leave, he can slip out of Chang'an and run to Taiyuan every day.
"Even if he didn't leave, he could still secretly pass on the military intelligence of the Qin Dynasty to the Li family! But in the past six months, he has not passed on any intelligence, and he has not even written a simple letter home.
"This time, when the Third Lady led the team to Chang'an for negotiations, Chai Shao had clearly returned to Chang'an from the border counties to rest, but he did not take the initiative to meet the Third Lady, fearing that the Emperor of Qin would blame him.
"It was not until the Third Lady and Da Qin had some progress in their discussion and returned the Duke of Tang's Mansion to the Li family that Chai Shao came over to pay a visit...
"Brother Ni, tell me, how could Miss San not be disappointed in such a smart man who is good at judging the situation?"
At this point, she looked at Ni Kun with sharp eyes:
"Compare the smart man Chai Shao with you - in Yangzhi, you stopped Sanniangzi from taking Xu Fu's adulterated elixir, exposed Xu Fu's true face, and saved the Li family from a catastrophe; on Mount Huashan, you heard that Sanniangzi was captured, and you traveled hundreds of miles at night, taking risks to climb the Chaoyang Peak of Mount Huashan at night, fighting Xu Fu and rescuing Sanniangzi...
"Comparing people to others will only make you die, and comparing goods to others will only make you throw them away. How can the Third Lady not become sick with lovesickness for you?"
Sister, my brother is not as good as you say.
Not to mention Yang Zhi, that time at Huashan, I really rushed there overnight just for Xu Fu. I was greedy for his elixir of immortality and his collection of martial arts skills.
I know Xu Fu.
Fearing that he would be late, he hid himself for decades and did not show up, so he hurried as fast as he could, galloping hundreds of miles overnight...
You said Sanniang is such a smart person, can't she see who I am doing this for?
How did it turn out like this?
Ni Kun thought awkwardly.
"Brother, tell me the truth."
Mei Chaofeng took a step forward and slapped him on the shoulder:
"Are you going or not?"
After a moment.
Ni Kun and Mei Chaofeng each rode a horse and headed towards the Duke Tang's mansion.
"When you meet the Third Lady later, Ni, don't look reluctant."
"Sister Mei, look at my face. How can I look reluctant? I am smiling happily. I am ill and lustful. This is a well-known fact. A tiger has no intention of eating a sheep, but a sheep wants to feed a tiger. I am so happy that I can't wait."
"Little brother, I think you should find a way to stop Miss San from thinking about you. Otherwise, with your romantic nature, if Miss San really follows you, she will probably suffer a lot in the future."
"Then Sister Mei, can you teach me how to stop her from thinking about it?"
"How should I know that?"
"So what you said is in vain, isn't it? You can't just go over and sneer at me and say: Li Xiuning, look carefully in the mirror and see your appearance clearly. Do you think I like you? Don't be a toad wanting to eat swan meat!"
"Hey, little brother Ni, you should speak with conscience! Our Third Lady, whether in appearance or figure, can only be compared with the girls around you. She has her own strengths, but it can't be said that she is worse than them, right? The Third Lady is of noble birth, elegant and generous..."
"Sister Mei, I don't care about people's backgrounds. Whether they are noble princesses, witches or commoners, I treat them all equally."
"I know, I know. You only look at the appearance and figure!"
"I'm not that shallow, am I? Pretty girls may not necessarily catch my eye. It also depends on their compatibility..."
Maybe it's because he's a disciple of the East Evil and has a eccentric personality. Anyway, Ni Kun feels very relaxed when getting along with Chen Xuanfeng and Mei Chaofeng. He can chat with them like he did with his bad friends in his previous life and talk nonsense without worrying about his character collapsing or damaging his image.
Anyway, they both saw how miserable I was, so there was nothing I should pretend to be in front of them in private.
Chatting casually along the way, the two came to the Duke of Tang's mansion, dismounted from their horses in the carriage yard in front of the mansion, and a servant from the mansion came forward, took the reins and led the horse away.
Chen Xuanfeng was waiting at the gate. When he saw them coming, he walked forward and pulled the corner of his mouth, revealing a stiff smile:
“Here I come.”
Ni Kun nodded and asked with concern:
"Brother Chen, what's wrong with your face? Why does it look a little stiff?"
Chen Xuanfeng rubbed his face with his hands and glared at Mei Chaofeng unhappily:
"I had a fight with this bitch this afternoon. She hit me hard and injured my face."
Mei Chaofeng stuck out her tongue and laughed.
Ni Kun smiled and praised:
"Brother Chen is very good at horizontal training. Even though his face was injured, there is not a single bruise. I admire you."
Mei Chaofeng covered her mouth and laughed: "Just say he is thick-skinned."
Chen Xuanfeng raised his hand as if to strike, but Mei Chaofeng quickly retracted her head, covered her head with both hands, and jumped behind Ni Kun to hide.
"You are so grown up, but you don't know how to behave properly. You are still acting like a crazy girl."
Chen Xuanfeng snorted, but didn't really hit her. He nodded to Ni Kun:
"Let's go and see the Third Lady."
He turned around and led Ni Kun into the house.
After wandering around in this huge Tang Guogong Mansion for a while, Ni Kun and his party arrived at the backyard of the mansion, a courtyard where the female members of the family lived.
Ni Kun had not seen Dongfang Bai all along the way. When he arrived at the courtyard where Li Xiuning lived, he did not see her either, so he asked Mei Chaofeng:
"Why didn't I see Sister Xiaobai?"
"She's in seclusion." Mei Chaofeng replied, "She's been in seclusion for more than a month. I don't know when she will come out."
As he was talking, he brought him to the door of Xiu Pavilion where Li Xiuning lived.
Chen Xuanfeng and Mei Chaofeng stopped outside the door:
"The third lady is inside, you can go in by yourself."
Ni Kun hesitated:
"Is it appropriate for me to go in alone?"
" There's nothing inappropriate. The Third Lady wants to see you right now." Chen Xuanfeng said calmly, "We'll be guarding outside. If the Third Lady calls for help, we'll rush in to stop you the first time."
Mei Chaofeng chuckled: "If it's just normal lovemaking, we will keep a close watch on the door for you. Just give it a try."
“…”
Ni Kun looked at the couple speechlessly. He felt unhappy but didn't know where to start. He could only push open the door with a stern face and expressionless face.
Mei Chaofeng was still whispering in the back:
"Smile, don't have a straight face!"
Ni Kun curled the corners of his mouth, put on a standard business smile, and walked into the embroidery pavilion.
Entering the inner room and walking around the screen, Ni Kun saw Li Xiuning lying on the bed with her back covered with a thin quilt, her cheeks pale, her skin pale, and her lips bloodless.
Ni Kun was a little surprised to see this lively and cheerful girl who was radiant all day long look so haggard.
He himself had never experienced lovesickness, and he had no way of empathizing with the feeling of missing someone to the point of losing appetite, being unable to sleep, and even becoming exhausted and sick.
I just find this incredible.
Standing beside the screen, looking at Li Xiuning quietly for a while with his hands behind his back, Ni Kun slowly walked forward.
The comatose Li Xiuning seemed to sense something. She suddenly opened her eyes and looked over.
Seeing that it was Ni Kun who came over, Li Xiuning's hazy eyes suddenly became clear, and a flash of unbelievable surprise flashed in her pupils. She asked in a daze: "You... is it really you?"
Ni Kun nodded: "Well, I heard that you were sick, so I came to see you."
Li Xiuning's pale cheeks flushed, a hint of embarrassment flashed in her eyes, and she said with a choking voice:
"Really? It's just a small matter. How can you bother to come all the way here..."
While speaking, he was still trying to sit up.
Ni Kun's figure flashed and he came to the head of the bed in an instant. He gently pressed her shoulder and pushed her back into the quilt:
"Don't move, just lie down and rest."
"Oh." Li Xiuning responded with a blushing face, and really lay there obediently.
Ni Kun moved a chair himself, sat down at the head of the bed, looked at her with a smile, and said in a gentle voice:
"I have been in seclusion for the past three months, not because I am avoiding you."
Li Xiuning said softly: "I know..."
Ni Kun asked: "Since you knew, why did it become like this?"
Li Xiuning pursed her lips and made a very bold confession in a very small and timid voice:
"I don't know... Anyway, I just can't eat. Every time I close my eyes, your face always appears in front of me... Unconsciously, I got sick. Just now, when I was drowsy, I kept having some messy dreams. I didn't sleep well at all. So when I felt your breath, I woke up immediately."
Well, it is not surprising that such thoughts came out from the mouth of the daughter of the Tang Dynasty's Li family.
Li Xiuning was especially tormented by lovesickness. When she saw Ni Kun, she had to express what was in her heart, otherwise she would probably feel even more depressed.
After saying this, Li Xiuning's cheeks turned red and her eyes looked as if tears were about to come out of her eyes. She grabbed the quilt with both hands and gently pulled it up to cover her mouth, nose, and half of her face, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed, looking at him blinkingly.
"Hmm..." Ni Kun pondered for a while and said, "I'm not a good person."
"Yeah." Li Xiuning nodded lightly, expressing her strong agreement.
Ni Kun was amused: "Since you know I'm not a good person, why are you doing this?"
"Because I like it!" Li Xiuning said in a low voice.
Her mouth was covered with the quilt, and the sound was as soft as the buzzing of a mosquito, but Ni Kun had extraordinary hearing and still heard it.
"You really are..." Ni Kun shook his head helplessly:
"Well, as a tiger, it is unreasonable for me not to eat the meat when it is in front of my mouth."
After saying that, he stood up, leaned over, and kissed Li Xiuning lightly on the forehead.
Just this one kiss made Li Xiuning shudder all over. She let out a sweet "hmm" sound from her nose, and her body trembled as if she had been electrocuted. Her cheeks turned red all the way to her ears, and her eyes were misty.
Well, the title of human-shaped X-medicine and human cannon is probably going to be confirmed.
Ni Kun sighed inwardly, straightened his back, and said:
"I'm very busy. I'm going back to practice soon, and I'll be in seclusion for a while. As for how long it will be, I can't say yet. During this period, you have to take a good rest and keep yourself fair and tender. When I come out of seclusion and celebrate my success, let me have a feast. Do you understand?"
This was a very overbearing statement, but Li Xiuning's eyes were filled with smiles, and she nodded and said, "I understand."
"When I'm in seclusion, you can often come over to my place and play with Xiaoqing, Tsunade and the others. But remember to stay away from the other four. They are not good people. Don't let them lead you astray."
The other four? Aren’t they the four women in white who always wear scarves to cover their faces, but have clear eyes, dignified and elegant temperaments, just like the ladies from noble families?
Aren't they good people?
Worse than the snake demon Xiaoqing and that blonde girl Tsunade with big boobs?
Li Xiuning felt strange, but nodded obediently: "Okay."
"Okay, I'm leaving. Time is tight. I have to go back to practice."
After that, Ni Kun raised his hand and gently stroked her hair, helping her tuck a strand of long bangs behind her ear, and stared into her eyes, "Have a good dream, and have a good meal when you wake up."
As he spoke, a light flashed in his eyes, and he used the Sacred Heart Art's mental illusion "Heavenly Palace Phantom", which made Li Xiuning fall into a deep sleep and have a sweet dream.
He had not practiced the fundamental techniques of the Sacred Heart Sutra, so he could not accumulate true Qi even if he wanted to practice.
However, as for the other skills of the Sacred Heart Sutra, all those that could use the power of Qi and blood, the power of the Five Elements, and the power of thunder instead of true Qi, he basically learned them directly through initiation.
Not to mention mental illusion, which is only related to mental strength. With Ni Kun's soul after practicing the Amitabha Sutra, practicing mental illusion is easier than practicing martial arts.
After helping Li Xiuning fall into a sweet dream, Ni Kun tucked in the quilt for her and walked out of the embroidery pavilion.
Chen Xuanfeng and Mei Chaofeng, who were guarding the door on the left and right, were very surprised to see him come out.
"How come you came out so quickly?" Chen Xuanfeng asked, "It took less than a cup of tea, right?"
Mei Chaofeng nodded: "I didn't hear anything special."
Ni Kun rolled his eyes:
"I just said a few words to her and asked her to have a good sleep. I didn't do anything else, did I?"
Chen Xuanfeng frowned:
"Can this...help Third Lady's illness?"
Mei Chaofeng nodded and said:
"Yeah, isn't that a bit too perfunctory?"
Ni Kun smiled and said:
"Don't worry, I promise that Sanniang's illness has been cured. When she wakes up, she will have a good meal. She will no longer lose her appetite and sleep at night. Well, this matter ends here. I'm going back and will have to go into seclusion again soon."
"You want to retreat again?" Mei Chaofeng's eyes widened: "If you retreat again, what if Third Lady gets sick again?"
Ni Kun said: "She won't get sick again. Don't you worry about me doing things?"
"Well, well, you are indeed reliable." Mei Chaofeng nodded reluctantly, "It's getting dark, why don't you stay and have dinner before leaving?"
Ni Kun smiled and said, "Someone is waiting for me at home ."
"Well, we'll get you out."
At that moment, Chen Xuanfeng and Mei Chaofeng escorted Ni Kun out of Duke Tang's mansion and watched him ride away on horseback.
"Brother, I suddenly thought of a question."
"What's the problem?"
"What if the Third Lady follows Brother Ni? What should we do in the future? Do we have to follow the Third Lady and become Brother Ni's retainer?"
"Hmm... this is a problem. I need to think about it carefully... Alas, the Li family is also going to surrender to the Qin Dynasty. History has completely changed. Our hope of clinging to their thighs and becoming a founding hero is completely hopeless."
"The Li family has surrendered to the Qin Dynasty, and Miss San has followed Brother Ni. Why don't we join the Qin Dynasty's Demon Suppression Division? We can also do something."
"That's a good idea..."
Ni Kun returned to his residence, took out a piece of tuna, and asked Tsunade to make a tuna dinner. After a hearty meal, he asked Xiaoqing to keep watch while he and Tsunade went back to the wasteland to earn enough reincarnation points.
The round trip only took a moment, and when Tsunade left, she still needed more than 3,000 reincarnation points to exchange for the wood spirit bloodline.
When she came back, Tsunade already had the blood of the wood spirit.
Her grandfather's Wood Release was a combination of earth and water chakras. However, the Wood Spirit bloodline allowed Tsunade to directly extract wood chakras, and the vitality of the Wood Spirit could greatly enhance her medical abilities.
Finally, the wood spirit bloodline can absorb the wood attribute of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which undoubtedly belongs to "natural energy", and the fairy chakra is a fusion of the three energies of the body, spirit, and nature. So Tsunade can also try to practice the "Sage Mode" in the future.
To express her gratitude, Tsunade decided to use the kung fu she learned from the Yin Gui demon girls to reward Ni Kun well.
First, she decided to give Ni Kun a bath and help him take a comfortable hot bath...
