As the leader of the Wulin Leader of jianghu, Wei Di had strong martial arts and profound internal strength. Generally, aphrodisiacs would not cause him to lose his mind, but the guy in his arms who never seemed to play by the rules was making it very difficult for him to remain in control of himself. Even beautiful women couldn’t enter his good graces, let alone a man? How could he feel desire for him?

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Wei Di’s thoughts were a little confused and his hands clasped the waist of the person in his arms unconsciously as he kissed back tentatively. The warm breaths and rubbing bodies accelerated the burning desire.

At this moment, Nie Bufan suddenly removed his lips. His cheeks were flushed and he looked up at Wei Di in a daze, “Who are you?”

Wei Di was speechless.

Nie Bufan held his face and said with dissatisfaction: “It’s too high, I feel pain from tiptoeing, do you mind bending over?”

Wei Di had a sudden urge to laugh. Why was this guy so cute?

Nie Bufan put his hand into the opening in his collar and rubbed his face against his thick muscular chest. He muttered: “Standing is uncomfortable, I want to lie down.”

Hearing these words, Wei Di picked him up and put him on the bedding before pressing himself down onto the other.

Nie Bufan giggled, and dropped kisses on his forehead, nose, and lips. One leg hooked his waist and rubbed his side a few times.

Wei Di took a deep breath, his eyes dark. He gently stroked his neck with his fingers. The other’s body did not have a strong powdery scent, but instead exuded a faint fragrance of grass, clean, fresh and pure. He couldn’t help but develop a tempting thought: perhaps he could try this out?

Just as Wei Di opened his mouth to say something, Nie Bufan arched his upper body, raised his head and bit his lips, his eyes half closed with eyelashes trembling slightly like butterfly wings. At the same time, one of his bent legs rubbed up between his legs and against his lower parts, spurring his steadily hardening desire.

Wei Di’s Adam’s apple rolled and he bowed his head to capture the other’s lips, eagerly taking the initiative.

The aphrodisiac in his body seemed to fully exert its effect at this moment, and his desire seemed to crash over him like a wave. Both hands began to explore all over the other’s body.

Nie Bufan was originally dressed in a single robe so after a few times of rubbing against each other, it barely covered him anymore. Although Wei Di did not deliberately undress, his own clothes were also hanging loose, revealing strong muscles.

The panting in the room became heavier, and in the dim light, two bodies could be seen entangled with each other. Under the light of the moon streaming in through the window, an ambiguous silhouette was outlined.

Wei Di let go of the restraints in his heart and completely sunk into the sea of ​​desire. The moment he entered, he felt as if he was cradled by the clouds, causing him to sigh with pleasure.

It was so tight and so hot, he could barely wait to start thrusting his hips. From slow to fast, from shallow to deep, again and again. Each time it brought indescribable feelings of pleasure.

Nie Bufan’s head was hazy and he could only follow his instincts, allowing the man on him to invade his body unscrupulously.

Don’t know how long it took, but it was only after Wei Di released himself in his body once again did he finally feel slightly satisfied. Nie Bufan had already fallen asleep, his body soaked with sweat, and his lower body was also covered with a blush inducing stickiness.

Wei Di pulled out, his mind gradually becoming clearer. His eyes when looking at Nie Bufan were dark and obscure. His gaze swept over the traces of lovemaking on the other’s body and recalled the night’s absurdity. Along with his thoughts, his body once again became restless and his lower half showed signs of lifting.

He immediately sat up, suppressing the desire to enter once again, and covered Nie Bufan with a thin quilt.

Looking out the window, the sky was already showing some white, likely already maoshi (5-7am). He actually wildly and unrestrainedly coupled with another man because of aphrodisiacs, his superior physical strength allowing him to perform until dawn.

It was undeniable that he did have a good impression of this kid. It used to be a simple acquaintance, but now it had evolved into a more intimate relationship.

He didn’t hate this kind of relationship, on the contrary, he might even have some pleasant feelings. That being the case, no matter what identity this kid had, he could only be his, Wei Di’s person in the future!

After figuring it out, Wei Di was in a good mood as he got up to straighten up his clothes.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a heart-pounding pressure making its way straight towards him. He turned around abruptly, only to see a dark figure flashing through the window and rushing towards him quickly.

He dodged, and the black shadow landed on the table. It was the chicken named Gold, with the little monkey Wukong following behind.

Wei Di curled his lips, “Is it not too late to come back to protect your master now? Your master is already mine.”

Gold was used to going out at night, and last night was the same. Gold and Wukong went out for a night tour while also looking for food. They didn’t come back until now, only to find an unexpected intruder in the room.

Gold was furious, its chicken feathers standing on end, and it rushed at Wei Di again. It was clearly only a chicken, but its agility and strength were so powerful that when its claws landed on the wooden furniture it left behind clear claw marks.

Astonishment flashed in Wei Di’s eyes and he observed its offensive while dodging.

The little monkey chittered in its place on the bed, seeming to be cheering on Gold.

Gold let out deep throaty sounds, and its attack became even more violent.

Wei Di had always believed in his high martial arts skills, but unexpectedly several of his attacks missed. Even if he managed to land a hit, it only slowed Gold’s movements and did not seem to cause much damage at all.

Was this still a chicken? Wei Di suddenly felt that the world was a little surreal. If even a chicken was this strong, how could other livestock live? No wonder his cat was afraid of it, this mighty attack power was indeed demonic.

“What are you all doing this early in the morning?” A muffled voice suddenly sounded.

Gold stopped its offensive attacks and stood on the cabinet, staring at Wei Di.

Wei Di turned his head to look at the bed, and saw Nie Bufan on his side, holding the quilt and looking at them sleepily.

He walked to the bed and touched his hair, “How does your body feel? Sleep some more. I’ll ask someone to bring you a bucket of hot water later.”

Nie Bufan looked at him in a daze for a while, and suddenly sat up quickly.

“Owww…..” Nie Bufan frowned at the pain in his lower parts.

“Does it hurt?” Wei Di asked.

“You, you, you…..” Nie Bufan pointed a trembling finger at him, “What have you done?”

“What do you think?” Wei Di asked with a half-smile.

Nie Bufan said angrily: “How can you be like this? Looking at your well-dressed appearance, who would have thought you would do something that is as good as a beast. Drug/rape, you are actually so despicable that you would use drug/rape to sully my innocence!”

Wei Di was speechless. Although his original intention was to give the other a taste of his own medicine, he really didn’t expect that he would personally do it himself.

Nie Bufan lectured in a resentful tone: “With your martial arts, you can subdue me without using medication at all. Don’t you think you have done something redundant?”

Did he mean to suggest that he should just force himself onto the other directly? Wei Di continued to be speechless.

Nie Bufan was silent for a while before suddenly wondering: “Could it be that you can only get an erection with medicine?”

Wei Di’s face turned black and glared straight at the other.

“If this is the case, then forget it, I will keep it secret for you. I just hope you won’t ask me to test any more medicines with you in the future.” Nie Bufan waved his hand weakly.

“I’m afraid it won’t work.” Wei Di pinched his chin and said in a confident tone, “You are already mine, and you can only follow me from now on.”

Nie Bufan looked at him like one would look at a critically ill patient, and said: “Do you take me as an idiot? It is not enough to be taken advantage of by you once and I should let myself be taken advantage of for a lifetime?”

“I’m not discussing this with you, but ordering.” Wei Di declared in a tyrannical manner.

Was this a case of a misstep leading to an eternal regret?

This whole time, Nie Bufan had yet to encounter this kind of tyrannical and possessive breed. Even one as noble and proud as Si Chenyu still retained a reservedness. At least he would not declare ownership because of a one night stand. But this one in front of him was a typical machismo. If it was his, then it must be his, and no one else was allowed to covet it.

Nie Bufan thought tremblingly, he had lost his innocence eight hundred years ago. If he knew that he had a pile of adulterers back in Chicken Nest Village, what would be his expression? When the time came, he wouldn’t become so angry he would cause a bloodbath in Chicken Nest Village, right? This uncle was the Wulin Leader of the martial arts world of jianghu, who would be his opponent in Chicken Nest Village?

No, he must draw a clear line with him as soon as possible. He won’t let him get involved with Chicken Nest Village!

“Leader Wei.” Nie Bufan said in a calm voice, “You may not know this but actually I have a strange disease and cannot marry my whole life. Every time I have sex, my life span will be shortened by several years. Putting aside the fact that same sex relations are a taboo, my condition must have worsened after one night with Leader Wei. I wonder how many years I can even live.”

Wei Di stared at him: “Do you think I will believe this?”

“Leader Wei can choose not to believe it.” Nie Bufan looked at him with a very sincere gaze, and said seriously, “I only ask Leader Wei to have mercy and don’t force me, so that I can live the rest of my life with peace of mind.”

Wei Dian looked at him suspiciously, and said: “I really don’t believe that there is such a strange disease in this world, but I will ask a genius doctor to diagnose and treat you. You will definitely be cured.”

Actually we should treat you first! Nie Bufan yelled in his heart. Having the stupid luck of picking up a copper coin and then wanting others to throw out all the money in their wallets so that you can pick up some more. Sir, do you have any professional ethics?

“I won’t bother Leader Wei with this matter.” Nie Bufan’s face must still pretend to be serious.

“If this matter is my fault, of course I must be responsible to the end.” Regardless of whether his words were true or false, so long as he stayed with him, he would be able to find out the truth eventually. If he lied to him, well, he had his own methods to rectify the other.

Nie Bufan looked melancholy, secretly saying to himself that this person was not easy to fool. The only method left was to employ delaying tactics. He would behave with docility and obedience, and then when the other dropped his guard he would hide back in Chicken Nest Village.

En, it’s decided.

Wei Di regarded the other’s silence as his expression of resistance after losing his chastity. He could completely understand. A perfectly normal man who had his body taken by him, another man, did indeed deserve time to adapt.

He could temporarily forgive him for his rudeness. In any case, the days were long and he would eventually have him be willing to be his person. Recalling the appearance of the young man wantonly moaning under him last night, Wei Di couldn’t help feeling a little dry in the mouth.

Nie Bufan keenly noticed that Wei Di’s gaze had become a bit strange, so he quickly lay down in the quilt, wrapping himself in a ball, and muttered, “I’m tired, I want to sleep some more.”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Wei Di lowered his eyes and did not force him.

“Alright, you rest first. I will come find you later.”

Wei Di stood up, ignoring Gold’s vigilant gaze, and walked straight to the door. He decided to postpone today’s trip to the Chicken Nest Village. The precious treasure he suddenly got by accident aroused his interest even more.

Nie Bufan and the others went back to their respective rooms after filling themselves with drink and food.

The night shrouded the old streets, lanterns were hung up high and it was the time when the red light district was at its most bustling.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

A man in black and wearing a conical bamboo hat walked into Xinghe Tower, one of the three big brothels of Xishan City, threw a silver tael directly to the old brothel keeper, and said in a low voice: “Please send a girl to Baofu Pavilion Tianzi room no. 1 to serve my master tonight.”

The old brothel keeper hesitated as she looked at the silver in her hand.

The man in black said again: “My master is generous, and there will be no lack of benefits afterwards.”

The old brothel keeper thought about it and believed the other. Someone who could live in Tianzi room no. 1 was definitely not poor.

She asked: “I wonder what kind of girl your master likes?”

“My master doesn’t like young and charming girls, but only likes ‘mature’ women.” The man in black especially emphasized the word ‘mature’.

The old brothel keeper understood, and said with a small smile: “Don’t worry, my Xinghe Tower is full of experienced mistresses of the bedroom.”

“Just in case, I want to personally choose for my master, please provide this convenience.”

“No problem, this way please.” The old brothel keeper led the man in black into the inner courtyards.

Soon, the old brothel keeper saw the man in black out. The man in black nodded at her and said profoundly: “En, she must arrive before haishi (9-11pm), don’t be late and don’t make any noise.”

The old brothel keeper repeatedly promised, watching him turn around and disappear into the night with a weird look on her face.

Baofu Pavilion, Tianzi no. 1 room. Wei Di was talking to a black-clothed attendant.

The black clothed attendant said respectfully: “Master, I have found out the specific location of Chicken Nest Village. Those who hold the keys all live there, and we can go there tomorrow.”

Wei Di nodded: “Good, have they opened the treasure trove?”

“This subordinate doesn’t know.” The black-clothed attendant said, “Chicken Nest Village is tightly guarded and it is difficult for this subordinate to approach.”

“Oh?” Wei Di raised his eyebrows, “They have guarded it so tightly that even you can’t get in?”

The black-clothed attendant hesitated for a while, and said, “It’s not that they have guarded it so tightly, but because there are chickens everywhere in the village. No matter day or night, there are chickens patrolling. As long as this subordinate approaches in one step, it will immediately arouse their vigilance.”

Wei Di was stunned and fell silent for a while before suddenly asking, “Is the chicken the lucky animal of Xishan City?”

“Uh…..don’t seem to have heard of this…..”

Wei Di also seemed to realize that his question was a little weird. He waved his hand and said: “Okay, you go down and get ready, we will go to Chicken Nest Village tomorrow.”

The black-clothed attendant bowed and was about to retreat when he heard a knock on the door.

Neither Wei Di nor the black-clothed attendant paid much attention to it. From the other’s breathing and footsteps, it was obvious that the knocker was not a martial artist.

The black-clothed attendant stepped forward and opened the door. Standing outside the door was a woman in a cloak. Although one couldn’t see her face, she had a sweet scent and her nails were painted a very alluring red.

“You are?” The black-clothed attendant asked.

“This slave, Feiyan of Xinghe Tower, pays respects to this lord.” The woman bowed.

“Xinghe Lou?” The man in black sneaked a glance at Wei Di. Could it be that the Master…..?

He subconsciously let the other in.

“Who let you come in?” Wei Di frowned and asked coldly.

The woman looked in the direction of the black-clothed attendant, and replied timidly: “Didn’t this lord in black go to Xinghe Tower at xushi (7-9pm)? He said he was looking for a suitable girl to serve his master? This slave was chosen by him personally.”

Wei Di’s sharp gaze shot towards the black-clothed attendant.

The black-clothed attendant was shocked, and hurriedly bowed, “Master, this subordinate has never been to Xinghe Tower.”

Wei Di also knew that his subordinates would absolutely not have the courage to take such an initiative to find him prostitutes.

“Are you sure he was the one who went to Xinghe Tower before?” Wei Di asked.

The woman hesitated and said: “The man was wearing a bamboo hat, and this slave did not see his whole appearance, only that he was dressed in black and his body physique is almost the same as that of this lord.”

The black-clothed attendant glared, feeling that he was being seriously slandered.

Wei Di glanced at his subordinate, and the black-clothed attendant hurriedly said in a low voice: “Master, could it be that someone wanted to express goodwill by this?”

“Express goodwill?” Wei Di snorted, “Just randomly picking a woman from the brothel to give to me. Is this a sign of goodwill or a deliberate intention to play tricks on me?”

The black-clothed attendant shut up and said nothing.

Wei Di’s eyes flickered, and after thinking for a moment, he said to the woman: “Pull your cloak open and let me see what kind of girl a certain someone has found for me?”

Upon hearing this, the woman hesitatingly liftd the cloak, revealing her ‘mature’ appearance.

The black-clothed attendant’s mouth involuntarily twitched and he couldn’t bear to look straight. This woman was in her forties and even her thick powder makeup could hardly cover the wrinkles and loose skin around her eyes. Her lips were also painted bright red and appeared intolerably tasteless. It was more appropriate to say that she was an old matchmaker than a girl.

In fact, she was indeed a matchmaker a few years ago. But she was expelled by the villagers because of her dissolute nature and eventually reduced to selling herself. She had no other abilities and the only thing she was good at was matters related to bed affairs. Sometimes when there were girls in the brothel who were not suitable to serve a customer at the time, the old brothel keeper would have her replace them. Under the dark with all the lights off, drunken customers generally wouldn’t be able to tell who they were actually embracing.

“Lord, although this slave looks average, my bed skills are quite good. It is lonely late at night, so why not give me a try, my lord?” The woman winked at Wei Di. The man in front of her was handsome and majestic, and was truly a rare desirable partner.

Wei Di narrowed his eyes and said suddenly: “I heard that you brothel girls usually carry some medicine to increase sexual pleasure or performance?”

The woman looked at Wei Di in astonishment. Did this seemingly imposing man need medication to get an erection?

The attendant in black also had on an expression of horror. He had been with the Master for so long, but he hadn’t noticed that the Master’s physical condition had any problems.

Seeing their expressions, how could Wei Di not know what they were thinking?

He said with a dark face: “It’s best not to guess randomly, otherwise don’t blame my subordinates for being merciless. You, answer my question.”

The woman was taken aback by him, and hurriedly said, “Yes, this slave has the medicine on me.”

“How is the effect?”

“If the intake quantity is large enough, it is enough to have an elderly man regain his glory.”

“Very good, I shall buy it.” Wei Di threw an ingot of gold at her.

The woman hurriedly picked it up with a smile on her face. She then took out a small porcelain bottle from her pocket and placed it on the table, adding: “Generally, it takes effect just by putting one drop in the wine.”

Wei Di picked up the small porcelain bottle and stood up. He said to the attendant: “You stay here to keep a look on her, I will be back soon.”

The attendant bowed, feeling quite curious in his heart, secretly wondering: who did the Master intended to give the medicine to?

Wei Di stepped out, passed through the eaves, and easily entered Nie Bufan’s room.

The light in the room was dim and the person on the bed was wrapped in a quilt like a caterpillar.

Wei Di walked to the table and poured a glass of water. He then opened the small porcelain bottle, dripped one drop, paused, and then dropped two more drops. He then came to the bed with the teacup. At this moment, two figures flashed from the side, blocking him from the bed.

Looking intently, he saw that it was the pet chickens, Lady Flower Girl and Langya that he had seen beside Nie Bufan. The other chicken named Gold was not in the room.

Wei Di made a decisive decision and shot out a hand to knock the two chickens out before they could alert their master. He attacked fiercely, the hits landing directly on the heads of the chickens with just the right amount of strength so that it didn’t hurt their lives. Although they were just chickens they were extremely clever, and in a rare moment he showed some mercy.

Nudging the chickens aside, he leaned forward and turned Nie Bufan over on the bed, staring at him for a long while. Sleeping so defensively, was it because he was confident that he could protect himself with the chickens?

Wei Di curved his lips slightly. He held the other’s neck and poured the tea into his mouth.

For some reason, when he saw the woman from the brothel, the first person he guessed was this guy. In fact, he was very sure of it. In this small mountain city, who would dare to joke with him in such a way? Only this kid was eccentric enough.

In that case, he would give him a taste of his own medicine and let him enjoy this amorous encounter. But even if he made a mistake, it was of no great matter.

Halfway through finishing the tea, the person who was sleeping suddenly opened his eyes and stared up at Wei Di’s handsome face very close to his.

The two looked at each other in silence, and then Nie Bufan’s eyes flickered and caught sight of the chickens that had fainted on the side. He quickly got up and pushed Wei Di away, rushing out of the bed.

After checking them over, he finally let his worries rest. Only then did Nie Bufan turn to face Wei Di and scold the other, “Leader Wei, what business do you have visiting so late at night?”

“I just came to express my thanks.” Wei Di put the teacup with half a cup of tea remaining on the table and replied lightly, “Thank you for the beauty that you sent to me.”

“What beauty?” Nie Bufan’s eyes were clear and his face was righteous. “I don’t know what you are talking about? If there is a beauty then I would keep her myself, why would I give her to you?”

When Wei Di heard this, he wondered whether he had made a mistake?

He said casually, “That’s strange, I found a chicken feather on that beauty.”

With that said, he really took out a chicken feather.

Nie Bufan was secretly startled, his thoughts turning sharply before he crossed his arms over his chest and said, “Can all chicken feathers represent me? Leader Wei is too arbitrary. Where would I have this spare money to help others find women?”

Hmmph, want to bluff him? Didn’t the women need to take a bath before coming to serve? Even if she was covered with chicken feathers before, it was impossible to only be spotted by others just before getting on the bed.

“Oh?” Wei Di said in a non-committal manner, turning the chicken feather in his hand, “I misunderstood?”

“That’s right!” Nie Bufan stared at the tea cup on the table and said righteously, “Whoever did it, then you go find whoever, it’s none of my business! Also, what did you make me drink just now?”

Wei Di looked at him without speaking. 

Nie Bufan approached him and placed one hand on the tabletop. With a grin he asked, “It’s not poison, right?”

“What if it’s poison?” He wanted to see just how courageous this guy really was?

“If it’s poison…..” Nie Bufan raised the cup and slowly brought it to his mouth, but did not take his eyes off the other, “I don’t mind trying it again.”

Wei Di was slightly stunned, he didn’t expect the other to react this way. When he said these words his eyes were like water, and Wei Di couldn’t help being attracted by the amorous charm in those eyes. A sudden inexplicable restlessness developed in his chest.

Just as he was stunned, Nie Bufan suddenly hooked his neck with an arm and pressed his lips on the other’s, pouring half of the mouthful of tea into the other’s mouth.

Wei Di’s breath stopped, but he didn’t push the other away, allowing Nie Bufan’s tongue to penetrate between his lips and teeth.

The aphrodisiac in Nie Bufan’s body seemed to finally take effect. His eyes misted over, his breathing became hot, and the kiss became passionate and lingering. 

Wei Di suddenly returned to his senses and turned his head, trying to push the other away. Nie Bufan wrapped his left leg around his right leg, his hands tightly locked around his neck. Almost all of his weight was now hanging on Wei Di.

Mesmerizing like a fox demon and seductive like a snake demon, Nie Bufan showed his amorous side for the first time. Even when drunk, he could maintain some sobriety. But this kind of aphrodisiac with an increased dose completely stripped away any defenses and caused him to fully display his sexual charm.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Even one with such determination and endurance as Wei Di, under the dual stimulation of a seductive body and potent aphrodisiac, also couldn’t help but feel desire burn through his whole body. His breathing became heavy and he looked at Nie Bufan deeply.

This kind of development really went beyond his expectations…..

Nie Bufan bit his chopsticks and turned his head to look behind him. What entered his vision was a heroic looking Wei Di walking over in big steps, his pace sweeping like the wind and his aura filling up the whole room. Wherever he passed it would become the center of attention, like stars surrounding the moon, all eyes focused on his person.

“Hi, Wei gege, have you eaten yet? Sit together?” A clear voice suddenly sounded in the quiet hall, casually breaking the majestic aura caused by Wei Di’s appearance.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Everyone subconsciously looked at the caller who dared to say hello to the Leader Wei in such a cordial tone. They must be a good friend of Leader Wei. Unexpectedly, what they saw was the weird boy who had only met with Leader Wei not long ago and had managed to scare his cat away with three chickens. Rather than friendship between these two people, it would not be an understatement to say that they had an enmity with each other.

Also, who was he referring to, using such a terrifying form of address like Wei gege?

Nie Bufan didn’t mind at all, a dazzling smile on his face as his right hand remained waving enthusiastically in the air.

Everyone around felt that this person was courting death and even Qin Boya stared at him with horror. Wei Di’s martial arts skills were profound and powerful and his status was respected. But his reputation in jianghu balanced on the line between good and evil. He was cold and arrogant and didn’t like to socialize, so few people dared to approach and casually make friendships with him.

It could be said that the place where Wei Di stood was exactly the high and cold summit that ordinary people could hardly reach.

But Nie Bufan didn’t know what it was to be afraid. He did things as he pleased, not for money or power, but just for personal happiness. The so-called ignorant being fearless, and those who had no desires had no wants. He could be considered possessing both of these qualities.

Wei Di paused, glanced at him casually, and said lightly: “I have reserved a seat in Xuanlan Pavilion. Come if you want to have a meal together.”

As soon as this offer came out, everyone present was amazed. No one expected Wei Di to give an invitation.

The large sleeves billowed behind him as Wei Di left, disappearing behind the bead curtain.

Xuan Lan Pavilion was one of the independent private rooms at the back of the inn, specially set up to entertain special guests.

As soon as he walked into Xuanlan Pavilion, the maid couldn’t help but whisper: “Master, why do you want to invite him?”

“Whether he dared to come is another story.” Wei Di sat by the window, his expression indifferent. A pair of clear eyes appeared in his mind and he had a feeling that the other would come.

Sure enough, as soon as his voice fell, he heard a knock on the door and then a head leaning in to take a look. When those eyes met Wei Di’s gaze it immediately curved into a smile.

“Wei gege, I’m here.”

Nie Bufan flashed into the private room and greeted with a smile, then turned his head and said to the person behind him: “Quickly, come in and put the food on the table.”

As he said this a waiter holding a tray of dishes, carefully began to place the dishes down on the table one by one.

Nie Bufan explained: “I was ready to eat just now. The food I ordered can’t be wasted so I had someone bring it over.”

Wei Di looked at the simple three dishes and one soup on the table and fell silent.

At this time, Qin Boya stepped forward and cupped his fist: “I am Qin Sanlang from the capital, Qin Boya. Greetings to Leader Wei.”

Wei Di nodded then looked at Nie Bufan.

Nie Bufan copied the other and reported his background: “I am just an ordinary villager, not belonging to any school or sect, my humble name being Duan Yu.”

The three of them looked at him together. Villager? Who would believe him?

Wei Di didn’t say anything and waved his hand to signal them to take their seats.

The maid ordered the waiters to serve the dishes, and then poured tea to the group of three in the room

The room was silent, no one took the initiative to speak.

Nie Bufan drank tea leisurely, seeming to enjoy the tranquility of this moment. He had rushed over to provoke Wei Di, but now that he was here he just pretended to be a passerby as if it had nothing to do with him.

Qin Boya quietly kicked him at the bottom of the table to signal him to liven up the atmosphere.

Nie Bufan coughed. When everyone focused on him he continued to drink tea.

Qin Boya was so vexed that he couldn’t help kicking at him again, but who knew it was the leg of the stool that was kicked this time, making a muffled banging sound.

“Please excuse my rudeness, my leg cramped.” Qin Boya quickly apologized. Glancing sideways, he could faintly make out under the edge of the tablecloth that Nie Bufan was sitting on the chair with his legs crossed.

Qin Boya was speechless. That he dared to use such a casual sitting position in front of the Leader Wei showed that he was indeed not having stage fright at all. But hatefully, he just wouldn’t speak!

Finally, all the dishes were served and the few people all picked up their chopsticks.

At this time, Nie Bufan pulled out a cloth-wrapped round object from his arms, and after opening it two plates were exposed. He placed both on the table and then scooped white rice on each. Next he added a bit of food from all the dishes except for the green vegetables. His chopsticks came and went like wind in the air, moving smoothly like flowing water.

After a while, he placed the two plates of food on the ground and greeted: “Lady Flower, Langya, it’s time for dinner.”

Lady Flower and Langya shook their bottoms quickly and clucked happily. Gold did not move however, only glancing over at them lazily. Little monkey Wukong squatted on the table holding a corn cob about its own size and began to gnaw at it.

Both Wei Di and Qin Boya’s chopsticks were still in midair, staring at him and his pets with stiff expressions.

The maid on the side was even more angry. She had never seen a person with such unruly mealtime manners. Even before the host could eat anything he served the beasts first. Not even Chun Jun received such treatment!

Looking at the two chickens that were eating in such a way the rice grains flew wildly, Wei Di and Qin Boya both felt a little bloated.

“Eat, why aren’t you eating?” Nie Bufan gave them a strange look.

Qin Boya regretted it extremely, secretly scolding himself for coming to join in the fun with this fellow. Now, he was completely conflicted, not knowing whether to eat or not eat. Looking over at Wei Di’s handsome face he could tell that it was almost frozen over.

He moved his lips with difficulty, and tried to make small talk: “Duan gongzi, doesn’t this chicken need to be fed?”

He was referring to Gold naturally.

“Oh.” Nie Bufan replied: “It usually finds food for itself. It won’t eat the food given to it.”

Qin Boya glanced at Gold and lost his words again. He raised his head and looked at Wei Di, only to see that he was staring at Nie Bufan deeply, his thoughts unpredictable.

Qin Boya secretly yelled ‘oh no’, did Wei Di really develop a murderous intent towards this fellow?

Nie Bufan seemed to realize that the atmosphere was not right at this time. He glanced left and right, and said with understanding: “You two don’t have to force yourself to obey the etiquette of keeping quiet during meals. Really, speaking freely at the dinner table can increase appetite.”

Was this the reason? The two people were speechless

Nie Bufan grinned and placed a pig’s trotter on Qin Boya’s plate and a piece of fish on Wei Di’s.

Wei Di and Qin Boya looked at the contents of their respective plates and continued to remain silent.

After a long while, Qin Boya said, “I don’t like to eat pig’s trotters.”

In fact, it was mainly because without the help of a servant to remove the meat from the pig’s trotter, he didn’t know how to eat it.

Nie Bufan rolled his eyes and said with a smile: “I have a question for you guys. I used to see someone write the word ‘Su’. Sometimes they would write the fish radical on the left and sometimes on the right. Why is that?”

Qin Boya replied: “Fish swim freely in the water. It can be left or right and is not limited to the shape of the word. This is probably the original intention of the ancients inventing the word.”

“En, that’s right. According to what you said, let this fish swim from side to side as well today.” As he said, he naturally exchanged Qin Boya’s plate on the left with Wei Di’s plate on the right.

The both of them looked at him in surprise.

Nie Bufan said to Wei Di: “Big brother Leader, do you usually eat pig’s trotters?”

“I don’t eat it often.” Wei Di frowned slightly as he looked at the large pig’s trotter.

“How did you eat it when you did?”

Wei Di did not speak, and the maid on the side drew a dagger and replied on his behalf: “Of course it is to cut it with a knife, or do you think it is by hand?”

Nie Bufan shook his finger: “Doesn’t it ruin the atmosphere using a knife? And it may cause misunderstanding on some occasions.”

“How to eat it then?” The maid asked coldly.

Nie Bufan pressed the whole trotter with chopsticks, took out a thin bone from it, and used the bone as a knife to help Wei Di to cut the trotter neatly.

“This pig’s trotters dish is steamed so that the skin is tender and the meat is soft, oily but not greasy. Just looking at the cut marks, one can tell that it would melt in the mouth, the taste excellent.”

Nie Bufan’s fingers were slender and flawless, like beautiful jade. Watching his nimble movements and listening to his gentle voice, the other two couldn’t help feeling hungry.

Qin Boya even regretted it a bit. Why did he say that he didn’t like to eat pig’s trotter? Seeing how the other had handled the pig’s trotter so beautifully and deliciously, not eating would be a crime for his stomach!

Wei Di picked up the chopsticks and put the meat into his mouth. He suddenly felt that it was indeed as Nie Bufan said, that the meat melted in the mouth, the aroma delicious.

Their appetite was aroused and the three began to eat with their chopsticks.

Nie Bufan took the time to take a glance at the two of them, secretly delighted. He rarely took the time to display literary art, and it seemed to be rather effective.

At this moment, a wine cup suddenly appeared in front of Nie Bufan. Looking up, he saw Wei Di toasting him.

Nie Bufan raised his cup up to clink it with the other’s, and drank it all in one gulp.

Having drank too quickly, Nie Bufan’s face flushed as he began to cough, his pride instantly coughed away.

Wei Di handed him a teacup and said calmly: “Take a sip of tea.”

Qin Boya’s face revealed horror. He opened his mouth to stop the other but Nie Bufan had already drunk from the teacup.

That tea cup was filled with wine…..Qin Boya had seen Wei Di pouring wine into the tea cup with his own eyes, and he didn’t know whether it was intentional or unintentional.

But it was too late. After Nie Bufan drank it, his entire face flushed, like a pink plum, his eyes misted over and clearly drunk.

Wei Di’s expression remained unchanged and he continued to eat. But from time to time he would look at him with a half smile.

Qin Boya quickly poured a cup of tea for Nie Bufan, but Nie Bufan stopped drinking this time. He suddenly got up and filled the other two men’s teacups with wine, and toasted, “If there is wine today, then today is the day to get drunk. Come, cheers!”

You planning on using wine to prank others? Qin Boya looked at the wine in the teacup silently.

“Cheers!” Nie Bufan swirled his cup of wine.

Qin Boya took a perfunctory sip.

Wei Di drank it all in one gulp.

“Excellent!” Nie Bufan put down the wine cup in his hand, took out something from his waist pocket, and handed it to Wei Di, “Come, I reward you an egg.”

With that, Nie Bufan grabbed Wei Di’s hand and stuffed the egg in his palm.

Then he looked at Qin Boya again and pointed out: “You are not bold enough, you are fined 10 coins! Come, give me the money.”

He spread his five finger palm wide open, shaking it up and down. 

Qin Boya wanted to cry but he was without tears. Seeing Wei Di staring at him with amusement, he had to accept his fate and count out 10 copper coins. Fortunately, he happened to have so much change.

“Thank you for your patronage.” Nie Bufan smiled brightly and then carefully counted 5 of the 10 coins, handing it to Wei Di, “Yours.”

Wei Di accepted without comment.

“Okay, continue.” Nie Bufan filled their cups with wine again, and said to a toast, “Meeting is fate, let us toast to our fate, cheers!”

This time Qin Boya didn’t dare to be careless and drank it all down like Wei Di.

Nie Bufan nodded in satisfaction and praised: “Not bad, each person will be rewarded with a piece of braised pork.”

He put down the wine cup and gave each person a piece of meat.

Using his drunkenness, Nie Bufan arranged various reasons and rewards to toast the other two in turn. After several rounds, he actually didn’t drink much.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Seeing that the two finally appeared drunk, he finally felt balance in his heart.

You fella, just now deliberately teasing him with wine, how can this one not get back at you?

In order to present the best hospitality, I will definitely arrange a few more good shows for you tonight!

“Master, do you need this humble maid to deal with the fellow just now?” The maid asked respectfully.

“Go and check his identity.” Wei Di’s fingers rubbed along the edge of the teacup, thoughtfully, “Currently, Xishan City is the place where masters from all walks of life have gathered. In order to avoid unnecessary disputes our actions must be kept low-key.”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

“Yes.”

“In addition…..” Wei Di paused, “Go and buy me a chicken.”

The maid was stunned for a while, then bowed and exited the room.

Not long after, the maid came into the room with a tray. After uncovering the lid, the fragrant scent permeated the air. On the plate was a golden roasted whole chicken. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, causing anyone to immediately develop a great appetite.

Wei Di fell silent.

Could he say, what he wanted originally was a live chicken? The chicken that belonged to that weird boy just now didn’t appear like a normal chicken at all. He wondered if the fengshui of Xishan City was so good that even ordinary poultry had developed a unique aura, so he wanted to verify it. Wei Di looked solemn on the surface, but he was actually very annoyed about his cat being suppressed by three chickens.

Unfortunately, the maid didn’t detect his true intentions and probably thought he was going to eat chicken to vent his anger.

Vent anger then vent anger. Wei Di ordered the maid to cut the roast chicken, and then began to chew carefully…..

At this time, in Chicken Nest Village, Zhang Junshi found a note in Nie Bufan’s room with a few words written crookedly on it. It took him a long time to decipher it before he could barely recognize that it said: I ran away from home, don’t miss me.

“…..” Zhang Junshi held the note for a while and was speechless.

When Li Yi and the others learned about it, their faces all looked as if it had been smeared with dung, black and ugly.

These people who were deeply aware of Nie Bufan’s bad habits were not only worried about his safety, but also worried about him unscrupulously attracting bees and butterflies. This guy could cause trouble even just in Chicken Nest Village, let alone in places without them to keep an eye on him? If in their carelessness the unthinkable happened, then what should they do if he brought back a legion of “bees and butterflies”!

Everyone agreed that Nie Bufan must be captured as soon as possible to prevent an unpredictable tragedy from happening. Especially Si Chenyu who was tortured by the alternating hot and cold body temperatures and coughing to the extent that he no longer cared about his noble image. He secretly swore that so long as he found the other, he would do him right then and there! To this end, he mobilized the guards he had staying in Xishan City and ordered them to find the fellow within two days.

Nie Bufan took away the two chickens that Li Yi and others were familiar with that were the best at tracking. The other chickens all had bad personalities and were impossible to make them obedient. Therefore, the Li brothers, Zhang Junshi, and Chen Muran could only mobilize their own troops, and even the people tasked with taking inventory of the treasures were temporarily taken from their posts. Wang Shichan even went to Xishan City in person, taking advantage of his qinggong to leap across the roofs of houses and buildings to search along the streets.

Nie Bufan deliberately put the chickens in a bamboo basket, thinking that it would not be eye-catching, but the power of the masses was limitless, and being on the end of an angry mob was even more frightening. Unknowing of the consequences that awaited him, this guy was still feeling very smug with himself as he enjoyed himself in the luxurious guest room, wondering how to spend the next few days. Without any hesitation he made his next target the Wulin Leader. This man was not only good at martial arts and possessed handsome looks but was also very caring, his hobby actually raising cats.

It was said that although men who liked to keep cats were a little sullen, narcissistic, and critical, they were also considerate and meticulous, appearing cold on the outside while being hot on the inside and very easy to push down.

Don’t know how Nie Bufan came to such a conclusion. If Wei Di heard this, even if Nie Bufan was a cat with nine lives, it was estimated that he would not be able to escape the fate of being dismembered ten times. Wei Di was known as “Purgatory Yama” in jianghu. His family had always trained men of sacrifice, hidden guards, and prison interrogators for the emperor, and his own reputation had spread far and wide. Not even 30 years of age but managing to defeat all other martial arts masters to become the Wulin Leader and the supreme martial artist in jianghu. No one in the world dared to compete with him.

Just as Qin Boya said, the people who died in his hands were countless, secretly eradicating countless traitorous and rebellious factions for the emperor. The reason why this country was so peaceful and the emperor’s position was so stable, Dongsheng Shangfu had made great contributions.

Nie Bufan never took family background into consideration when he looked at people. So long as the other was pleasing to the eye, then they would be included on his list of people to tease. He was very sensitive to the good and evil intentions of others. If the other behaved falsely and had an unrighteous mind, then he would never associate with them. In a sense, Nie Bufan’s judgement of people was actually very accurate, and the people he developed good feelings for were basically all talented and beautiful people with sound, moral behavior.

After sleeping away the afternoon, Nie Bufan woke up to the hungry calls of his pet chickens. It was already evening. After he freshened up, he was ready to go find Qin Boya to have dinner together.

But before he even left the room, Qin Boya had already arrived at his door first.

Nie Bufan smiled and said, “What a coincidence, I was going to find you.”

Qin Boya’s expression was a little strange, and he stretched out a finger towards Nie Bufan and said, “Look!”

Nie Bufan looked at it and saw a plump and tender tiny snake wrapped around his finger. His thoughts turned and he instantly understood that it must have hatched from the egg he had given the other before.

Therefore, Nie Bufan affirmed and pointed out sharply: “Your egg broke!”

“Yes, my egg…..” Suddenly he stopped, and the corners of Qin Boya’s mouth twitched. There was really no way to complete that sentence. (TN: eggs=balls in Chinese slang)

Nie Bufan patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly: “Keep it well, it is now your pet.”

“Pet?” Qin Boya said with trembling fingers, “I don’t like keeping pets, please take it back.”

“How can one take back a gift that was already sent out?” Nie Bufan glanced at him reproachfully, “This is a ball python. It has a gentle personality, loves to eat mice, and is absolutely cute.”

“Cute?” Qin Boya looked at the fleshy worm on his finger, but couldn’t see how cute it was.

Nie Bufan said again: “In addition, don’t you think that raising snakes is very unique? Look at that Wulin Leader, how lame is it to raise a fat cat? There are so many people who raise cats and dogs, and it doesn’t highlight their personal style at all. Can they even compare to raising chickens, snakes, monkeys and monsters? After the ball python grows up, that kind of cat will be swallowed up instantly.”

This could actually cultivate a personal style?

Qin Boya fell silent for a while, and then said, “Aren’t there chicken farmers everywhere?”

Nie Bufan glared at him: “Have you ever seen such a domineering and impressive chicken? The fat cat didn’t even dare to breathe when it saw them.”

Well, Qin Boya had nothing to say to that.

“So,” Nie Bufan said with a smile that squinted his eyes, “Brother, raise it, it will benefit you.”

Qin Boya reluctantly accepted it, but he could never have expected that this python, which was currently only the size of a chopstick, would grow into a behemoth nearly 10 meters in size and happened to be very clingy. Whenever Qin Boya went out, it would hang on his body like a bundle of thick hemp rope. As a result, in the near future, Qin Boya gained a very stylish nickname——Hemp Rope Hero.

But by then, it was too late for Qin Boya to regret it.

“Okay, you first go back to your room and set up the little snake’s nest, and then we can go to eat dinner.”

Qin Boya nodded, turned around and was about to go to his room. But when he reached the door, he suddenly stopped and said to Nie Bufan, “By the way, I forgot to tell you something.”

“What is it?” Nie Bufan asked casually.

“When we were talking just now, Leader Wei happened to pass by the door and seemed to pause outside for a while.”

“Huh?” Nie Bufan asked suspiciously, “how do you know it was him?”

Qin Boya was a martial artist and it was not difficult to spot someone outside the door, but how could he be sure that it was Wei Di?

“Don’t you know?” Qin Boya glanced at him strangely, “Leader Wei lives next door to you.”

Nie Bufan fell silent for a while and asked, “When did he arrive?”

“Just when you said, ‘look at that Wulin Leader, how lame is it to raise a fat cat’.”

“…..”

Qin Boya chuckled a few times and walked away in a seemingly happy mood.

Nie Bufan let out an “Ah” and then threw himself on the wall and violently scratched it. What he was depressed about was not because the other had heard him say bad things about him and might cause him to get angry, but because he was worried that it would make it more difficult to tease him!

Getting off on the wrong foot, getting off on the wrong foot!

“Master, that fellow is too rude!” The maid said coldly, “Do you want this humble maid to teach him a lesson?”

“No need.” Wei Di’s face was expressionless, no happiness or anger could be seen.

But the maid felt very angry for the Master. After finding out his identity, she must definitely teach the other a lesson for the Master. The Master was a god that could not be blasphemed in her heart, and no one had ever dared to belittle him this much! Even if this person was a prince and or royal grandson, she would still be merciless.

Wei Di seemed to see her thoughts and lightly reminded: “Don’t act without my orders.”

Even if he wanted to teach him a lesson, he should do it himself. Wei Di’s whole body emitted a cold aura, already having thought of all kinds of torture tactics in his heart. This fellow had completely aroused his interest, almost comparable to that golden roast chicken.

Good, very good.

Nie Bufan sat down at the dinner table dejectedly, full of conflicted emotions.

Wukong was lying on his head, looking equally dejected. Lady Flower and Langya were also listless. Gold lay languidly on one side, with a leisurely look, dignified and impressive. That this kind of aura could be seen on a chicken, Gold was indeed at a completely different level as a chicken.

Qin Boya looked amused. As expected, what kind of owner would have what kind of pet. They all looked like having been carved out of the same mold. It was said that husband and wife would gradually resemble each other, and Nie Bufan and his pets were probably…..human and animal gradually resembling each other?

“Okay already, Leader Wei is not a person who doesn’t have any magnanimity. He won’t hold it against you.” Qin Boya comforted.

Nie Bufan glanced at him lazily and continued to remain dispirited.

“If he really wants to teach you a lesson, I will help.”

Oi, don’t your words seem a bit ambiguous? When the time came, would you be helping me deal with him, or help him teach me a lesson together? Nie Bufan rolled his eyes, lamenting this person’s language ability. 

Qin Boya didn’t know that he was being looked at with contempt, and continued: “Then how about, I sleep with you tonight?”

Nie Bufan’s eyes flickered and he struggled for a while but finally refused the temptation. He was worried that when it was discovered by the people in Chicken Nest Village in the future he would definitely be scolded for being unrestrained. In their eyes, any male creature that approached him would be automatically designated as a gay by them.

It was clearly a very pure comrade-in-arms relationship originally but so long as he spent the night with them in the same bed it would become unclear.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Nie Bufan felt that he was still very principled, not refusing anyone who came or whatever was definitely not his style.

At this moment, the waiter served the dishes of food to their table.

When the two were about to dig in, Qin Boya suddenly looked at the door and said, “Leader Wei is here.”

The man held the cat in his arms and walked slowly towards Nie Bufan.

As he approached, the fat cat in his arms squirmed more violently and meowed non-stop.

The man’s eyes were slightly cold. He stopped three steps away from Nie Bufan, and asked condescendingly, “What’s in it?”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Qin Boya, who was sitting opposite Nie Bufan, stiffened. Although his face was calm he was already on guard.

But Nie Bufan completely did not feel the powerful pressure coming from the man. With his chin on his hand he said simply: “Chicken.”

“What?” For a brief moment, the man likely hadn’t associated the word “chicken” with his question.

“Chicken.” Nie Bufan said again, “Didn’t you ask me what was in here? I answered——chicken. Understand?”

Like teaching a child, he dragged out his words and explained it seriously. It just lacked an additional sentence: “Come on, let’s repeat it again——chicken”.

There was a slight sound of inhalation from the few people around. Don’t know whether it was from being worried about the man getting angry, or because of the “prestige” of the chicken.

The man was silent for a while, then said, “Take it out and let’s have a look.”

Nie Bufan stretched out two fingers and made an X sign in the air, saying, “Looking one time will be 10 coins.”

There was another inhalation sound from everyone. Even Qin Boya was subtly trying to hint at Nie Bufan, hoping that he would behave normally.

In truth, Nie Bufan felt that he was being perfectly normal. The bigger status and background the man had the more accomplishment he would get from cheating him. Although a few copper coins might be nothing for these people, likely wouldn’t even spare it a glance if they encountered it on the ground, but to Nie Bufan it was at least worth a few steamed buns. Besides, he would not only get face, it also passed the time so why not?

The man probably had never come across anyone who dared to mock him, and he could not help but examine the other again. Apart from those bright eyes, there was nothing special about him. There was neither the aura of a martial artist nor the aura of the nobility or one in a high position. But his aura was refreshing and his eyes were smiling, giving people a feeling of a spring breeze.

“Fine.” Unexpectedly, the man actually agreed. He was also feeling whimsical and he wanted to see what kind of animal could cause fear in Chun Jun.

His response caused the attendants behind him to all look shocked, almost thinking that there was something wrong with their ears.

“Don’t forget your promise.” Nie Bufan happily opened the bamboo basket and brought out Lady Flower from inside, holding it up, “Here, one big rooster, also known as Lady Flower. It guards the home and is very loyal, definitely a must-have companion when out traveling.”

The man automatically ignored the boasting in the rest of his words. He had originally thought that he would see some kind of fierce beast, but the bamboo basket really did just hold a chicken. The flaming cockscomb and the colorful feathers all pointed out that it was indeed an ordinary rooster that could not be more ordinary. The gap between his expectations and reality was too big so unavoidably he felt a bit annoyed.

However, the cat in his arms was very upset because of the presence of this chicken, and kept snarling its teeth at Lady Flower.

The previous self of Lady Flower was a dog and dogs were naturally antagonistic towards cats so how could it still remain polite? It jumped onto the table, craned its neck and cackled at it in a demonstration of power.

The fat cat curled up its body and retracted its fierce expression, looking with dodgy eyes at Lady Flower and then at the bamboo basket. In the process it even subconsciously clawed through the man’s sleeves with its sharp claws.

Displeasure flashed in the man’s eyes. The cat he had carefully trained was afraid of a chicken? You must know that Chun Jun dared to even fight snakes and dogs and even when facing martial arts masters it was not at all timid. How could it be afraid of a vulgar rooster? It’s ridiculous to even mention it!

He believed that the other beasts hidden in the bamboo basket were the key, and Chun Jun was obviously more afraid of the latter.

So the man said again: “What else is in your bamboo basket? Take it out and let’s have a look.”

Nie Bufan raised two fingers and said, “20 coins.”

“Fine.” The man’s tone was cold. He wanted to see exactly what rare and exotic animals were hidden in the bamboo basket!

Unexpectedly, Nie Bufan plucked another chicken from the bamboo basket. The only difference was that this time it was a hen.

“Langya, female, loves males, has a habit of bullying the weak and fearing the strong, and very arrogant and prideful. Because of its noble birth, it has developed a lot of bad habits. But it is still commendably loyal and the main wife of Lady Flower.” Nie Bufan introduced solemnly.

Langya clucked a few times in dissatisfaction and was about to protest, but under the gaze of Lady Flower, it reined in its temper and stood aside obediently.

The man looked at the two chickens currently cuddling up next to each other and finally his lips couldn’t help but twitch slightly, suddenly feeling  an urge to just flick his sleeves and leave. But his cat was still trembling and at this point, no matter what he must get to the bottom of it.

“What is still inside, take it all out!” The man’s eyes were cold and murderous.

“Thirty coins.”

The man agreed.

Nie Bufan then put his hand in the bamboo basket again and without any surprise, it was still a chicken!

The first was a chicken, the second was a chicken, and the third was still a chicken. It seemed that there were endless chickens in that bamboo basket.

The man said angrily: “How many chickens do you have inside?”

“Three.” Nie Bufan shrugged, “More and it would not be easy to hold them all, they will feel crowded.”

So in other words, if the bamboo basket was big enough, he would carry even more chickens?

The man suddenly felt that he had done a stupid thing. It was truly vexing to waste so much time on three chickens. But how could he have expected that a well-dressed gongzi who could afford to live in such a luxurious hotel would bring three chickens along? A perfectly good hedonistic son of a wealthy family did not have a dog or bird or any other more stylish pet, but instead raised chickens! Why couldn’t he play according to the rules?

At the moment when the third chicken appeared, the man felt that the cat in his arms began to shake even more, its body curled up and not even daring to move its eyes. Not only that, but the horses outside the inn also began to let out uneasy neighing and snorts.

The man was very surprised. Then he looked at the chicken intently and saw that it had yellow feathers with black stripes. It was a bit bigger than the other two chickens and its eyes were sharp and aura imposing.

He examined it carefully and felt secretly surprised. He subconsciously asked: “What kind of chicken is this?”

“The rooster, named ‘Gold’, attracts wealth and good fortune while repelling evil.” Nie Bufan praised with a thumbs up, “He is the most stylish leading brother among all the chickens.”

The man fell silent, looking at the awe-inspiring Gold, and at his own cat. Putting aside the prejudices attached to the two different breeds, the two were completely incomparable in terms of their aura, which one was more superior could be seen at just a glance.

With a frosty face, he threw the cat in his arms to the maid and said coldly: “Take it away.” Then he turned around and was about to walk away.

Nie Bufan immediately shouted: “Don’t forget to pay, 30 copper coins, thank you for your patronage.”

The man was practically emitting a murderous aura, his sleeves and hem billowing in his wake as he disappeared up the stairs.

The maid stepped forward, took out an ingot of silver and handed it to Nie Bufan. Her eyes when looking at him were cold as if looking at a dead man.

Nie Bufan was completely oblivious. He took the silver, and said, “Wait a while, I’ll give you the change.”

The maid turned a deaf ear to what he said and went upstairs. The other attendants also left one after another, giving Nie Bufan a deep look before leaving.

“Duan gongzi, do you know who that person was just now?” Qin Boya couldn’t help but ask as Nie Bufan put away his money with a smile.

“I don’t know.” Nie Bufan asked casually, “Who?”

“He is the Master of the Dongsheng Shangfu, and the famed martial arts leader of Wulin——Wei Di!” Qin Boya emphasized each word, “You have quite the guts, actually daring to mock him?” (TN: wulin=martial arts circle in jianghu)

“Mock? I did no such thing.” Nie Bufan said innocently. “He wants to see the chicken so I showed it to him. This is a fair business deal.”

Qin Boya placed a hand on his forehead: “The problem is, who would have thought that you actually have onlu chickens in your bamboo basket!”

“Now that’s not right of you, what’s wrong with chickens?” Nie Bufan said with discontent. “They are also naturally raised poultry, with flesh and blood, talents and looks. Among the 18 skills they are proficient in at least 19 of them. Ordinary thieves are no match for them.”

Let’s not mention the first part, but where did he see “talents and looks”? Also “among 18 skills proficient in at least 19″…..

Qin Boya sighed: “In short, Duan gongzi, please take care in the next few days.” His eyes swept their surroundings intentionally or unintentionally.

Nie Bufan followed his gaze and saw that many people evaded his gaze. They either had a distant attitude or showed schadenfreude amusement.

“Do you think I might be murdered and then have my corpse thrown out in the wilderness?” Nie Bufan suddenly asked in a low voice. 

Qin Boya nodded earnestly, “It’s not that I’m scaring you. The Leader Wei is strong in martial arts, possesses deep schemes and manipulation, and his temper is even more unpredictable. He is also inextricably linked to the imperial court. Even the emperor must give him some face. Along with Heaven Divining Palace, Dongsheng Shangfu is one of the two special sects in the world. Dealing with one or two small fish in private is but a simple matter of waving their hand. The people who died at his hands are uncountable, and no one dared to say anything afterwards.”

“That powerful!” Nie Bufan exclaimed perfunctorily.

“I suggest you leave here as soon as possible.”

Nie Bufan glanced at him strangely, “You are sitting with me so they must think we are in the same group. Are you afraid that they will find trouble for you too?”

“Haha.” Qin Boya laughed, “I have been in jianghu for more than ten years, and I still have some fame at least. Leader Wei will likely leave me with some face.”

“Oh.” Nie Bufan petted Gold’s feathers, his thoughts wandering away.

At this moment, the trembling waiter came over and asked: “Gongzi, are you still staying in this inn?”

“Stay, of course, I have paid the money.” Nie Bufan replied without hesitation.

Qin Boya looked at him and was about to say something, but Nie Bufan interrupted: “Thank you for your concern, uncle. I have always been a lucky fellow so I believe nothing will happen.”

Unc…..uncle? The corners of Qin Boya’s mouth twitched, and he subconsciously touched his face. Was he really that old?

After checking in, Nie Bufan stood up and said with rare generosity: “I will go to my room to rest a while first. Let’s have dinner together in the evening, it’s my treat.”

Qin Boya nodded and looked at his leisurely leaving back. He felt that this person was even more interesting. He had a unique personality with a playful and mischievous streak. Don’t know what kind of place could cultivate such a bizarre oddball? Was he really not afraid of offending a supreme master of martial arts?

Recalling Wei Di’s expression just now, Qin Boya couldn’t help laughing out loud. This Wulin Leader Wei was cold and arrogant, his only interest training cats. The cats he trained practically dared to fight against tigers. Their reputation was very great but who would have thought that his cat would be scared shitless by the three chickens now.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

The facts have proved that this so-called “practically” dare to confront tigers was in the end just “practically”. In the face of a real tiger, their different levels on the food chain was made completely obvious. Just the scent of the tiger alone could make it bow its head.

Tigers were frightening, tigers in chicken skins were even more frightening…..

After the liberation of the two laborers, Zhang Junshi and Li Yi, the daily life in Chicken Nest Village finally returned on the right track and gradually became orderly.

Nie Bufan was finally free and able to foist off all kinds of labor services to others. Like a leader inspecting, he visited the remaining patients one by one every day, from Si Chenyu, Chen Muran, Li Huai, Tian Nu to their respective servants and maids.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Seeing them all look as if possessed by a resentful spirit, haggard and gloomy, it was truly pitiful. However, if it was really necessary to sacrifice his body to save this group of people, Nie Bufan could already feel the pain in a certain somewhere. It was a simple thing to choose whether to let himself hurt or to let others hurt, so he decided to ignore it. Before Si Chenyu could get his hands on him, he ran into the city to take refuge.

This time he brought not only Lady Flower and Langya, but also Wukong and a black-striped yellow chicken named “Gold”. Bringing the first two was because they had a keen sense of smell and were easily used by others to track him down. Bringing Wukong and Gold was to prevent boredom.

Nie Bufan chose a luxurious inn and walked in.

The waiter greeted him with a smile on his face but paused a little after seeing Nie Bufan’s appearance.

Nie Bufan’s clothes could be considered tastefully chosen and were all carefully selected by Zhang Junshi. But he was carrying a big old bamboo basket with a monkey on his shoulder. He had the appearance of a handsome and elegant gongzi, but for some reason he still appeared out of place.

The waiter had been greeting and sending off customers for so long but he had never seen such a gongzi who didn’t care at all about his image. He was not sure of the identity of this person, so he could only welcome him in first and ask: “This gongzi, welcome. Do you want to drink tea or stay overnight?”

It was not mealtime at this time so there were only two or three people sitting at the tables. When they saw Nie Bufan, they all gave him strange looks.

Nie Bufan looked around randomly  and said, “Prepare a room for me.”

“Okay, one upper room checked in.” The waiter led him to the counter, bowed and smiled, “How many days do you plan to stay?” 

“Three days for now.”

“A deposit of three taels is required for three days.”

Three taels? Nie Bufan glared at him. At this price, guests could live in Chicken Nest Village for half a month!

The waiter was skilled at being observant and muttered to himself, it seemed that this was not a rich person. As he was thinking this, he saw the other take out a bulging purse from his pocket. The purse was embroidered with gold silk and appeared to be of extraordinary make at first glance. The waiter couldn’t help but overturn his previous speculation. To be able to afford this kind of purse this person must be from an extraordinary background.

The waiter looked at the purse subtly without showing a trace, but then saw the owner of the purse grab a handful of copper coins from it and then placed it all on the counter, counting them one by one.

The waiter nearly collapsed. Three taels was equivalent to nearly a thousand copper coins. How long did this person plan to count? Could that purse even fit a thousand coins?

“Hai, this gongzi, if you don’t have enough money, you can go to the inn on the right.” The waiter said tactfully.

Nie Bufan didn’t even glance at him. While concentrating on counting the money, he replied, “I just want to live here. Don’t interrupt, let me count.”

The waiter wanted to cry but he was without tears. Their inn’s reputation in the city was one of the best, and no one had ever used copper coins with them. This was like using single dollar bills in a five star hotel. It was also money, but the style was as different as heaven and earth. Of course, Nie Bufan was probably the only person who could do such silly things.

The counter they were at gradually became the focal point of the surrounding eyes. The entire hall fell quiet, all silently watching Nie Bufan count the coins.

After Nie Bufan counted 250 coins, he couldn’t count anymore. The little monkey Wukong thoughtfully handed over a cup of tea.

“Hey, that’s my tea…..” A customer in the hall called out.

As soon as the voice fell, Nie Bufan had already drank it down in one gulp.

The customer could only touch his nose and quiet down. Nie Bufan glanced at him and then handed the cup to Wukong as he lectured, “How can you take other people’s things? Go, apologize to that uncle, and thank him as well.”

Wukong took the cup, jumped on the table again and pushed the cup carefully in front of the man. It then bent its waist 30 degrees with one paw behind its back, bowing gracefully with its long tail high up. It looked very much like a well-educated gentleman.

Immediately, it took an unused teacup and filled it with tea while holding the teapot. The whole process was smooth and error free. Its small body was not even as tall as the teapot, its fine golden hair, big eyes, and its clever appearance practically won everyone over.

“What a smart little monkey!” The customer couldn’t help but stretch out his hand to tease it. The little monkey shook its tail at him and then jumped back to Nie Bufan.

“Gongzi, is your monkey for sale?” He asked.

“Not for sale.” Nie Bufan replied without looking back.

Wukong bared its teeth at the man and jumped up and down, as if it were demonstrating its might.

“Haha.” The man chuckled, “How did gongzi train it? Can you advise me on a few tricks?”

Nie Bufan frowned. He raised his head with discontent and said: “I was interrupted by you, I have forgotten where I had left off counting.”

“Why still count?” The man threw a few taels from his pocket and said, “I’ll pay it for you.”

The waiter quickly caught it and thought to himself, finally no more counting.

But who knew, Nie Bufan said: “I don’t need other people’s funding, thank you for your kindness.”

“It’s only three taels, but the price of a meal. Gongzi doesn’t have to worry about it, I just want to make friends with you.”

Nie Bufan thought for a while, and suddenly said to the waiter: “Give me that gongzi’s money.”

The waiter reluctantly handed it over, thinking he was going to return it, but unexpectedly the other just put it in his own pocket. Then he poured all the copper coins from his money purse on the counter and said, “You count the rest. The copper coins are probably enough. Anything left over is your tip.”

In truth, Nie Bufan was aware of the amount of money in his purse. There could only be less and not more but he didn’t believe that the waiter would come find him again just for a few pennies!

The waiter’s expression instantly stiffened.

“Hahaha.” The customer who spoke to him laughed loudly.

The other people also showed expressions of wanting to laugh.

“Remember to check in for me, I’m waiting to rest.” Nie Bufan reminded. He then sat at the table of the customer and cupped his fists to express his gratitude.

The person said: “Why do you carry so many copper coins with you? Isn’t it inconvenient?”

“It is because of their inconvenience that I have to spend it all.” Nie Bufan said naturally.

The man laughed again. This man had a full beard and was very tall. At first Nie Bufan had thought that he was not too young, but upon a closer look the man was actually only twenty-seven or twenty-eight. He was neatly dressed and appeared quite chivalrous.

“I am Qin Boya, don’t know what this gongzi is called?”

“Duan Yu.” It had almost become a habit for Nie Bufan to give a false name when he went out. Seeing that the person in front of him looked a little like Qiao Feng, he naturally responded with “Duan Yu”. (TN: both characters are from the book turn drama Demi-gods and Semi-devils)

“It turns out to be Duan gongzi.” Qin Boya smiled and asked, “I see you carrying a bamboo basket, don’t know what it is for?”

If it was luggage, then bamboo basket should not be used. Judging from his clothes and demeanor, he didn’t seem to be born in poverty, but he didn’t even have one or two servants following him which was really strange.

Nie Bufan put the bamboo basket down carefully, and responded with one word: “Secret.”

Qin Boya smiled without saying a word, but his ears twitched, and he could tell that the bamboo basket was obviously filled with living things. Looking at the little monkey on his shoulder, he secretly wondered whether the bamboo basket also contained another pet?

His guess was quite on the mark, but he probably never thought that this so-called pet would turn out to be a chicken.

“By the way, in order to thank you for your generosity, I will also give you a gift.” Nie Bufan took out an egg from his pocket and handed it to Qin Boya. 

Qin Boya looked at the irregular potato-like egg in front of him, and didn’t know how to react. He hadn’t received such a…..unique gift before.

Nie Bufan warned solemnly: “Treat it well.”

“Uh…..” Just what kind of treatment was required for an egg?

Under Nie Bufan’s piercing eyes, Qin Boya could only slowly put the egg in his pocket.

At this moment, there was a clamor of horses and shouting outside, and then a person dressed as an attendant walked in and shouted to the waiter: “Prepare one upper room and eight middle rooms. There are 12 people in our party. Ten days.”

“Okay, please wait a moment.” The several waiters stopped counting the copper coins and swept them all into a small basket. They then began to arrange accommodation for the new group of people.

After arranging it properly, the attendant walked out of the inn. There was a carriage parked outside the inn, and a man and a woman got out of the carriage.

The man was twenty-four or twenty-five years old, with a handsome face, eyes slanting upwards, a mole under his right eye, thin lips, and a sense of extravagance and coldness that gave an unapproachable feeling. The man swept the hall casually, the expression in his eyes aloof and indifferent.

Behind him was a maid, with eyes lowered docilely and an expressionless face, looking very much like a puppet. She was also holding a cat in her arms, so fat it looked like a giant caterpillar, but it had the same arrogant air as the man, squinting its eyes and looking down on all beings.

What Nie Bufan disliked the most was this kind of person. Si Chenyu was like this at the beginning, pretentious to the extreme.

Just as the group of people passed by where Nie Bufan was, the fat cat in the maid’s arms suddenly stood up, its fur all over its body standing on end as it bared its teeth at the bamboo basket at Nie Bufan’s feet.

The man walking in the front stopped, turned his head and asked, “What’s the matter?”

The maid bowed back and said, “Chun Jun seems to be frightened.”

“Calm it down.” The man turned and walked upstairs again, without even looking at Nie Bufan.

At this moment, there was a muffled cry from nowhere. When the fat cat heard it, it suddenly bounced up, jumped out of the arms of the maid, and quickly ran towards the man.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

The fat cat leaped into the air, and the man lifted his hand and grabbed the flesh on the back of its neck accurately. He then stared directly at the place where Nie Bufan and Qin Boya were with a cold expression on his face.

The guards behind him also looked over in unison, neatly and uniformly, all stern and on guard.

Must it be this exaggerated?

Nie Bufan played with a cup, appearing like an innocent passerby.
