Chapter 78: It’s great to be a bad guy
Li Bai's poem says: I left Baidi in the morning among the colorful clouds, and returned to Jiangling a thousand miles away in one day.
Baidi City is located in Renfu County, Badong County, and is currently the county seat of Renfu County. Jiangling is Jingzhou.
Take a boat from Baidi City, from west to east, from high to low, with smooth sailing, and leave in the morning and arrive in Jiangling in the evening.
In a spacious, bright and elegantly decorated cabin on a large passenger ship that was chartered at a huge expense.
Ni Kun lay on the couch, his head resting on Zhu Yuyan's round and plump thighs, eating the preserved fruits she fed him. Wen Caiting held his feet in her arms, enjoying her foot massage.
From Chengdu to Badong, he had run all the way by himself, wearing out several pairs of shoes.
He used the strength of his bones, muscles and tendons to perform his lightness skills.
Naturally, the wear and tear on their shoes was much greater than that of Zhu Yuyan and the other two who used their true Qi to perform light skills.
Like Kankan, she didn't even wear shoes and walked barefoot. But with the protection of her true qi, her feet were not stained with dust or dirt, and there was not even a single callus on the soles of her feet. They were always soft and smooth like a baby's.
As for Ni Kun, the calluses on the soles of his feet are so thick that they are invulnerable to swords and guns.
Although the journey was not tiring, Ni Kun took Zhu Yuyan and Wen Caiting's service for granted.
He is traveling on his own now and doesn't need Wen Caiting to carry him anymore, so what else can you ask of him?
The master and the uncle were all serving Ni Kun, so of course Kanan couldn't sit idle either. She played the piano and sang the songs taught by Ni Kun.
Ni Kun felt very satisfied with this decadent life surrounded by soft jade and warm fragrance.
"It's better to be a bad guy...
“Bad people can do whatever they want and indulge themselves in pleasure. Even if they have done bad things all their lives, if they occasionally do one or two good things, they will immediately be praised by everyone and be cleared of all charges.
“But what about being a good person?
"Not only do you have to be self-disciplined and frugal, you are also constantly being scrutinized and required by the world to hold you to extremely high moral standards. Even if you have done good things all your life, if you accidentally do one bad thing, you will immediately be ruined and be called a hypocrite who deceives the world and steals reputation.
"Even if one indulges in some extravagance, one will be criticized by countless people.
"Tsk, people always like to use the standard of 'saints' to judge good people, but for bad people...
"A sentence like 'A prodigal who returns is worth more than gold', 'Put down your butcher knife and you will become a Buddha', and 'The dead are the greatest' are actually enough.
"So, let's just hang out with the Yin Gui Demon Girl. It's more comfortable to be a bad guy.
"As long as I do not violate my moral principles, people will always be tolerant of me..."
As I was thinking about it, I suddenly felt something strange in my feet.
When he lowered his eyes, he saw Wen Caiting bending down and massaging his calves.
As a result, she pressed on the top of his feet, squeezing them up and down as she moved.
"This seductress...really never forgets to seduce me."
Ni Kun secretly curled his lips and had nothing to say to Wen Caiting.
Instead of trying so hard to seduce others, you might as well work hard on your cultivation.
During the trip to Lingyun Cave, didn’t you get enough benefits?
The Six Secrets of Ao Han, the Bull Demon's Great Strength Method, the Tiger Demon's Bone Refining Fist, and the Blood Bodhi.
Even if you have understood too little of the Xuanwu Zhengong, Zhu Yuyan and Kankan have both figured out the complete technique, so you can ask them for advice!
As a result, Zhu Yuyan practiced hard and her strength jumped by half a level, and she is still making continuous progress.
Kankan's inspiration came to her, and she reached the seventeenth level of the Heavenly Demon Secret. She had already mastered the Six Secrets of Ao Han's Sword, the Unrivaled Sword Technique, the Mountain and Sea Fist Sutra, and the Yuanrong Golden Finger.
Just you, Wen Caiting, is always thinking about getting something for nothing.
After I gained a wave of power by knocking down the blood bodhi tree, I didn't make any progress at all...
The two styles of oracle bone dragon claws that I learned from watching the Qilin mural have not yet been fully practiced.
But he felt that the Bull Demon's Great Strength Method and the Tiger Demon's Bone Refining Fist required excessive strain on his muscles and bones and were too tiring to practice.
Not to mention the Ao Han Six Secrets and the unique sword techniques, Mountain and Sea Fist Sutra, and Yuanrong Golden Finger that Zhu Yuyan and Kankan had respectively discovered, Wen Caiting had never even tried to practice them.
He is so lazy and doesn't even know why Zhu Yuyan's master fell in love with Wen Caiting and accepted her as his disciple.
"It's just that I'm born with a charming body. But then again...
"It seems that the Yin Gui Sect does need this kind of naturally charming disciple to seduce important targets?
"But in this way, you can only be a plaything in the end!"
Anyway, I am just a servant, so if I don’t want to make progress, then I don’t have to.
Ni Kun never treated her unfairly and brought her many opportunities. She didn't want to work hard, and he was too lazy to force her.
She was willing to be a plaything or pet, and Ni Kun let her do what she wanted.
Anyway, it's human nature to prefer leisure to work.
Even Ni Kun, isn't he happy to enjoy the moving sounds and scenes at this moment?
However, the biggest difference between him and Wen Caiting is the mentality that has been tempered by experiencing countless life-threatening situations, as well as the strong sense of crisis that is firmly engraved in his heart.
If you are not strong enough, you will be killed.
Even if you can be resurrected after death, even if you have a big move, whether it is resurrection or use of the big move, you still have to spend your life.
Lifespan may be shortened at any time due to various accidents. Even if there are no accidents, lifespan is decreasing every minute. The key is that he can see at any time how much life he has left.
The seconds and minutes that keep jumping behind the life span value look like a death warrant.
If you don't think about the future, you will have immediate worries.
In order to have more time to enjoy a good life, Ni Kun always manages to control himself and not indulge in this gentle environment that can best wear down his will and soften his spirit.
After listening to another song "The Moon is Full in the West Tower", Ni Kun withdrew his feet from Wen Caiting's arms, and his head left Zhu Yuyan's legs. He stood up and sat upright on the couch, waving his hand:
"That's enough. Everyone, get off. I'm going to start practicing."
Kanan pressed the strings of the zither, raised her eyes to glance at Ni Kun, pouted her lips, and walked away with the zither in her arms.
Zhu Yuyan and Wen Caiting also bowed and left the cabin.
Ni Kun sat cross-legged, took out his flying sword, and began a new round of sacrifices.
Before I knew it, it was already dark.
The passenger ship had arrived in Jiangling, but did not moor at the Jiangling pier. Instead, it approached the shore and found a river bend with a slow current to anchor.
Ni Kun also finished nurturing the flying sword and began to nourish his spirit.
Time passed slowly and before I knew it, it was midnight.
Holding a copper basin, Kanan walked silently to the door of Ni Kun's cabin like a cat walking at night, holding her breath and concentrating her ears to listen to the movements inside the cabin.
After a while, she heard a slight noise coming from the cabin. She took a deep breath and encouraged herself :
"Uncle Wen is right. As the Holy Maiden of Yin Gui, I have to be willing to sacrifice myself at the critical moment.
"Haven't you seen that Master can put aside his airs?
"If you can't even pass this level, then what kind of Yin Gui Saint is that? It's simply a disgrace to the Yin Gui sect!
“Go ahead, 婠婠! It’s time to show your true abilities!”
Thinking of this, she took a deep breath again, pushed open the cabin door, stepped over the threshold, and smiled sweetly at Ni Kun who was stretching his muscles:
"Sir, are you going to rest? Soak your feet first. You will sleep more comfortably."
