Spring was a season of beauty, a season of rebirth, and also a season for……mating.

Recently, in Chicken Nest Village, one could see all kinds of strange courtship scenes, there were grooming and showing off of feathers, chest puffed up and head raised in singing, gathering in flocks to fight and brawl with each other……

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

Generally speaking, the most noisy were birds, the most violent were mammals, and the most calm were reptiles.

The chicken flocks caused such a din that the village seemed like a marketplace, chicken feathers flying with flecks of dust all over. It was a downright chaos.

The first person who couldn’t stand it was Li Huai. This poor guy didn’t know that animals during mating season were the most terrifying. As you could imagine, he was so utterly put in his place. So long as he appeared, there would be a chicken that would trip him up with underhanded means. He and the chickens’ relationship had reached the point where “if the enemy won’t move then it won’t move, but if the enemy moves he be scratched.” At this point, Li Huai had finally surrendered, and no longer dared to act rashly.

At night, the chicken flocks in Chicken Nest Village would embark on a long and crazy nightlife, shrill moans making the residents irritable and agitated. They have been experiencing insomnia for many days now……

Nie Bufan, this heartless guy, was not affected at all. He slept until he woke up naturally, but he had suddenly come to understand one thing. The reason why recently, Zhang Third and Li Fourth showed closeness to him was because they had reached mating season!

The man without the comfort of a woman was a lonely one. Nie Bufan expressed his understanding. So he decided to take them to the brothel to relieve their pent up desire. But before that, he wanted to test it out first, and find a brothel with a relatively high quality, where the women must at least have looks rating upper-middle, otherwise those guys would probably only spurn the suggestion.

After making the decision, Nie Bufan quietly found the Tian Nu and explained his intentions.

“You are asking a lady as beautiful as a flower like myself to go to the brothel with you?” Nineteen looked at Nie Bufan as if looking at a monster.

Nie Bufan glanced back at her, en, she was pretty like a flower but was a bit lacking to be called beautiful.

“What are you thinking?” Nineteen said again, “There are so many men in the village, why don’t you just find one to go with you?”

“With me there, can they still attract the attention of other girls? In order not to lose their face, it’s better to find you to accompany me instead.” Actually, he didn’t want to behave like a virgin in front of others……

“……” The corners of Nineteen’s mouth twitched, and after a long time she uttered, “The brothel does not accept female guests!”

“You’re no different from men in men’s clothing.”

“……” Nineteen instantly swelled up with anger, picking up something and hurtling it over.

“Ai, ai, I was just kidding.” Nie Bufan said hurriedly, “I mean, aren’t you curious about brothels at all? Don’t you want to see what a man looks like under the influence of women and wine?”

Nineteen showed a flicker of emotion, but hesitated because of the constraints placed on ladies of status.

Nie Bufan worked hard to continue persuading: “As a woman, before you leave the boudoir, it is necessary to have a thorough understanding of the nature of a man. Look at all the handsome Gongzi in our village, where is the nobleness and elegant manners of the past?”

Was this not all because of you! Nineteen cast a sideways glance at Nie Bufan.

In the end, of course she agreed. The temptation to experience a visit to the brothel was really hard to refuse. Besides, she herself was not a compliant and rule-abiding woman.

The two agreed on a time, and on one evening, they made excuses and left the village. Nineteen didn’t take her Jadeites, and Nie Bufan didn’t take his precious chickens.

After getting dressed in an inn, two handsome young men appeared.

Today’s goal was the Xinghe Pavilion in the south of the city. This was one of the three big brothels in Xishan City. The other two were Yichun Court and Yuxiu House.

Nie Bufan and Nineteen had never visited the red lights district. When they first entered this kind of place, they couldn’t help feeling uneasy and a little excited.

Seeing them coming in, the old brothel keeper immediately greeted them with a smile. Her eyes were sharp, and she knew at a glance that the two were of good background.

“The two young masters, welcome to Xinghe Pavilion. Seeing the two unfamiliar faces, it must be the first time to come?”

“En.” Nie Bufan pretended to nod profoundly, and looked around. Everywhere he saw there women all over dressed in dazzling attire and with fragrances coming from scented sleeves. It was definitely a feast for the senses.

“Then let me arrange a private room for both of you, and then introduce you to some girls?”

“Very good.”

Nie Bufan and Nineteen followed the old brothel keeper to the second floor. The second floor was much quieter than the first floor. But when they opened the windows they could see the happenings on the first floor.

The old brothel keeper had the servant girl serve the tea, and asked, “What kind of girls do you like?”

“Don’t mention any common or vulgar ones, I want the best.” Nie Bufan said with a slight arrogance.

“Of course, it must be the best for this Gongzi.” The old brothel keeper smiled wide, wrinkles squeezing together. But then she said with a change of tone, “However, it is generally not easy for our Xinghe Pavilion’s top courtesan to meet guests. It will depend on whether the guests are sincere. But other famous flowers can be first introduced to these two Gongzi.”

“Hmmph!” Nineteen snorted coldly, took out a silver ingot from her sleeve, and said contemptuously, “As long as we are satisfied, we won’t be stingy! You can just call your top courtesan. I want to see what is so special about this top courtesan.”

“Hehe. Please wait a moment, both of you.” The old brothel keeper naturally took the ingot and walked out with a bow.

Nie Bufan gave Nineteen a thumbs up.

Nineteen proudly said: “No big deal.”

“I heard that the top courtesan of brothels are quite talented in the arts. Later we’ll first listen to the music.” Nie Bufan suggested.

“Of course you can only listen to music, don’t tell me you want to stay overnight?” Nineteen said with a disapproving look.

Nie Bufan thought about it for a while, and said with a smile: “If I meet someone I like, I don’t mind spending the night in the embrace of warm and fragrant jade.”

“Then I will tell Li Gongzi and the others about this.”

“Tell them what?”

“Tell them that the red apricot tree leans over the garden wall when they weren’t looking.” (TN: idiom for finding an illicit lover on the sly)

Nie Bufan sneered and said with contempt: “I really don’t know what kind of messy things you are thinking in your head, red apricot my foot!”

Nineteen rolled her eyes: “Don’t think I don’t know about you guys because I don’t go out often. Hero has told me all of it.”

“Hero?” Nie Bufan said weirdly, “What did it tell you?”

“Hero said that you and two big guys mate everyday.”

“……” Nie Bufan decided to go back and stew a chicken named Hero, “You believe what it says?”

“Hero will not lie.”

“When did you have such a good relationship with it?”

“The only talking chicken in the world!” Nineteen said with bright eyes, “Of course I have to take good care of it.”

While talking, there was a sudden noise coming from outside the door, and it seemed that someone was making a disturbance.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e ir on tr ee bl oo ms. c o m )

The two looked at each other and didn’t plan to go out to join in the fun, but who knew that the voice gradually approached their room, and then the door was suddenly kicked open. Four or five men came in, followed by the old brothel keeper and several girls.

“These two Gongzi, I am truly apologetic.” The old brothel keeper quickly apologized.

“You are the ones who requested Liu Yan’er?” The man in the lead asked loudly.

“Who is Liu Yan’er?” Nie Bufan asked.

Nineteen shook her head: “I don’t know either.”

The surroundings fell into a short silence for an instant. These people had aggressively charged in planning to make trouble, but the other party was completely oblivious.

“Xu Mama, what’s going on?” The man in the lead said harshly, “Didn’t you say they called Liu Yan’er?” (TN: mama is used to refer to older women)

“Yes, they are indeed!” The old brothel keeper smiled with difficulty, and explained, “These two young men are here for the first time, and likely don’t know that Liu Yan’er is our Xinghe Pavilion’s top courtesan.”

Nie Bufan suddenly realized what was going on and said, “It turns out that her name is Liu Yan’er, where is she? Is she here?”

As he said this, he leaned out and looked around, his gaze sweeping over a beautiful woman who was supported by a maid.

The man stepped forward to block his sight, and said in a nasty voice, “Listen to me, Liu Yan’er is my, Han Songling’s woman, no one can call her!”

Nie Bufan leaned against the table, looked at the young master up and down, and said lightly: “Since she is your woman, why let her stay in the brothel and not take her home directly?”

Han Songling’s expression changed, and angrily said: “Ben Gongzi‘s affairs have nothing to do with you.”

“I don’t care about your affairs either.” Nie Bufan said, “But since lady Liu is the number one courtesan here, then guests are eligible to see her, as long as she allows. Xu Mama, don’t you think so?”

The old brothel keeper hurriedly smiled and said, “Gongzi is extremely right.”

“What right?” Han Songling scolded, “Ben Gongzi has booked her out.” As he said this, he drew a silver banknote from his robes and handed it to the old brothel keeper.

The old brothel keeper accepted it hurriedly, and then said with some embarrassment: “But, it was these two Gongzi who requested to see Liu Yan’er first.”

Han Songling took another silver banknote out of his robes, and then looked at Nie Bufan and Nineteen in a provoking manner.

“Xu mama, this is not right.” Nie Bufan said leisurely, “At least ask lady Liu for her opinion. Since she is Xinghe Pavilion’s top courtesan, naturally she can’t be impressed with a bit of money. If she will go with whomever gave the most money, isn’t it the same as the average and vulgar women?”

“This……” The old brothel keeper was speechless and turned to look at Liu Yan’er.

Liu Yan’er took a few steps forward and gave a slight bow: “What the Gongzi said is extremely true. This slave agreed to see Gongzi first, and naturally I should give priority to this Gongzi.”

Han Songling’s face turned black, grabbing Liu Yan’er’s hand he angrily said: “What did you say?”

“Ai, don’t be so rough, women are for cherishing.” Nie Bufan stepped forward and stood in front of Liu Yan’er.

“Go away!” Han Songling reached out to push Nie Bufan, but Nineteen threw a tea cup over, blocking Han Songling’s movements.

Nie Bufan said again: “This Gongzi, everyone comes to the brothel to find pleasure, why make yourself unhappy for such a minor thing?”

Han Songling stared at him fiercely, then turned to Liu Yan’er and asked, “Are you sure you want to accompany them?”

“Yes.”

“Fine, Ben doesn’t care anymore!” After speaking, he turned around and flicked his sleeves as he left.

This person was quite stupid. He spent so much money and in vain, not even knowing to try and convince the lady more. He should at least have some swindling tricks as back up. Unexpectedly, he left after only a few words, it really left one without a sense of accomplishment. Nie Bufan thought unkindly in his heart.

The old brothel keeper breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: “We have troubled the two Gongzi, we’ll be leaving now and let Liu Yan’er entertain you well.”

When everyone went out, Nie Bufan sighed, “It seems that this brothel won’t work.”

“Won’t work?” Nineteen asked curiously.

Nie Bufan whispered: “You didn’t see that this lady Liu has a paramour, no matter how beautiful she is, it would be unsuitable.”

“What do you want a suitable one for? Don’t you just want to come to the brothel to have a look? You don’t really mean to spend a night with them?”

Without waiting for Nie Bufan to reply, Liu Yan’er over there had already spoken: “These two Gongzi, how about letting this slave play a piece for you first?”

“Fine, please go ahead milady.” Nie Bufan replied with a smile. It was a pity because she was indeed a beauty, with charming eyes, graceful figure, and a voice like a songbird. It was a pity, but seeing her interaction with that Han guy, he knew that there was something going on between the two. Such a lady can’t be introduced to Zhang Third and Li Fourth.

The melodious pipa sounded, but to Nie Bufan, who didn’t know how to appreciate it, it was as good as casting pearls before swine. Nineteen however listened to it with a focused attention, clearly enjoying it.

Nie Bufan was quite bored, and when someone came in to serve tea, he whispered: “Call some more girls in to serve.” After speaking, he inevitably had to give them some tips.

The servant girls left happily. Not long after, four gorgeously dressed girls came in, smiling and sitting beside Nie Bufan and Nineteen.

Nineteen was surprised: “What are you doing?”

Nie Bufan said: “Since we’re here, we ought to get used to it, right?”

With a black face, Nineteen pushed the woman’s hand away, entire body stiff.

Nie Bufan received the attention quite well and hugged two girls to him, one on left and the other on right.

Liu Yan’er, who was playing the pipa over there, shook slightly, almost playing off tune. She probably hadn’t suffered this kind of insult before. Actually asking other women to come in and serve as well despite this being her venue. It was as if she as the top courtesan was completely reduced to a mere song girl.

As the women’s laughter sounded, Liu Yan’er naturally couldn’t play anymore. She stood up abruptly, holding back her anger and said, “Since this slave has finished playing a song, then these two Gongzi please enjoy yourselves.”

Nineteen wanted to call her, but didn’t know how to open her mouth, so she could only glare at Nie Bufan fiercely, gritted her teeth as she said: “Since you don’t like it, why did you snatch her from Han Songling just now?”

“Snatching people is fun.” Nie Bufan said innocently: “It’s a pity that she can only be observed from a distance, and can’t be played with.”

“Play your head!” Nineteen became annoyed, “If you want to play, you can play by yourself, I will go out first.”

“Ai, don’t run around, it’s not safe here.” Nie Bufan finally remembered that she was a girl.

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

Nineteen did not turn back: “I have martial arts, I am much safer than you!”

Nie Bufan shrugged, and no longer paid her any heed. He lowered his head and smiled as he asked the beauties around him: “What games do you usually play? How about teaching me?”

The stain fight with each other ended because of an unprecedented stinky fart from rooster Little Yellow.

At that time, Little Yellow was standing in the wind watching the melee. In a moment of excitement he had mistakenly released a loud fart. As the spring breeze swept by and carried it downwards, the stench instantly stunned Li Yi and the others who happened to be in the direction of the wind.

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

And for quite a while after that, both humans and chickens who had been targets were in such pain they would welcome death. The chickens scrambled to disperse while Li Yi and others covered their noses and stomped their feet in pain. It didn’t take long for all the living creatures in the area to experience game over.

“Huh? It’s over?” Nie Bufan, who was cooking chicken soup in the kitchen, hadn’t heard anything for a long time. He couldn’t help but lean out to take a look, only to realize that the battle had subsided.

There were no more chickens on the scene, and the rest of the people were all green in the face. It was plain to the senses that they were covered with an awful stinky smell, and yet they had to maintain a graceful demeanor for the sake of saving face, standing there stiffly like wooden stakes.

Nie Bufan looked for a while and shouted: “I had Tu Beng boil some hot water, do you want to go freshen up first?”

Hearing this, Li Huai walked towards his residence without saying a word.

Si Chenyu and Chen Muran also left one after another. As for Wang Shichan, who triggered the battle, he had long since disappeared.

Li Yi walked silently to the kitchen where Nie Bufan was located, but ended up being blocked by the door before he could even take a step in: “You, hurry up and wash, it smells so bad that you can kill mosquitoes.”

In fact, the smell of Li Yi’s body was not from Little Yellow’s stinky fart, but the result of being stained with chicken poop during his fight with Wang Shichan.

Li Yi looked at Nie Bufan. Suddenly he stepped forward, hugged him tightly in his arms, and rubbed against him thoroughly.

Nie Bufan struggled and yelled, “Li Fourth, you bastard!”

Li Yi remained unfazed and said, “Is the hot water ready, let’s wash together?”

“Hmmph!” Nie Bufan kicked Li Yi away and saw Zhang Junshi walking towards them at a glance. He immediately stretched out his arms and flew into Zhang Junshi’s embrace in an extremely elegant posture, and then began to rub against the other hard for a few times.

Li Yi’s face went black.

Zhang Junshi smiled.

“Fellow comrades, for our glorious image, let’s take a bath together!” Nie Bufan pointed a finger at the bathhouse in a very heroic posture.

However, Li Yi and Zhang Junshi were the only ones who entered the water in the end.

When they were already soaking in the hot water Nie Bufan had long since disappeared, leaving them each occupying a corner of the bath, staring at each other speechlessly.

Li Yi stood up suddenly, randomly put on a piece of clothing, and speed walked out of the bathhouse. Not long after, Nie Bufan was brought in wrapped in his arms. With a throw Nie Bufan landed into the bath, splashing water all over.

Nie Bufan popped his head up and protested: “Li Fourth, what are you doing?”

“Bath.”

“I’m not bathing!”

Li Yi ignored him, took off his clothes and got into the bath again.

“Zhang Third, look at Li Fourth, rotten to the core!” Nie Bufan turned around and hugged Zhang Junshi, accusing Li Yi of evil.

Zhang Junshi patted him on the shoulder and comforted: “It’s okay, I am here.”

Li Yi glanced at him contemptuously, and stretched out his hand to pull Nie Bufan out from his arms.

Nie Bufan hugged onto Zhang Junshi’s neck tightly. Zhang Junshi wrapped his waist with one hand, and blocked Li Yi’s claws with the other.

The eyes of the two collided in the air, sparks flying and crackling.

Li Yi retracted his hand and leaned leisurely by the bath, but underwater his leg stretched out to rub Nie Bufan’s back waist.

Nie Bufan couldn’t help standing up and straddling Zhang Junshi’s lap to get away from the leg. Turning his head he glared at Li Yi.

Zhang Junshi was now under immense suffering, and he could only endure as much as possible as Nie Bufan moved around on his lap. However, Li Yi was in high spirits, and his toes moved intentionally or unintentionally over Nie Bufan’s hips and bottom. Nie Bufan could only dodge, shaking up and down.

Despite Zhang Junshi’s outstanding endurance, he also could no longer remain calm, swelling up and standing upright, poking against Nie Bufan.

Nie Bufan paused and glanced at Zhang Junshi in surprise. The other only looked back deeply.

At this time, Li Yi’s evil foot stretched forward again, following down the spine and down to the tailbone.

Nie Bufan leaned forward slightly, only for Zhang Junshi’s to push against the edge of the entrance, the only obstacle being a thin layer of pants. Nie Bufan sat on his knees, so long as he actually sat down directly, it was likely that it would drive straight in.

Zhang Junshi’s expression did not change, but his eyes were faintly expectant, and his breathing became suppressed and rapid.

The three fell silent. The surface of the water was strangely tranquil, but it was another story underwater.

Suddenly, Nie Bufan grabbed Li Yi’s foot with his hand and dragged it up with the strength of an infant suckling milk——

Splash! The martial artist Li Yi slipped unpreparedly, and sank into the water leaving only bubbles behind.

Taking advantage of the successful move, Nie Bufan quickly got off Zhang Junshi and sat side by side with him.

Zhang Junshi glanced at him, and as Li Yi was still underwater, he lowered his head and kissed his mouth lightly. His eyes were deep and had a smile that was so gentle that one could drown in it.

Nie Bufan’s body inexplicably became numb, as if something had given him an electric shock, leaving him feeling limp down to his bones.

Li Yi broke out of the water with a dark face and glared at Nie Bufan, but did not scold the other. Who told him to make trouble first?

Nie Bufan leaned on the side of the bath with one hand, propped his head and said, “Li Fourth, if you’re gonna take a bath then take a bath. Why cause a disturbance?” As he said so he raised his feet out of the water and shook them, casting a coquettish wink at the other. Softly he said: “Why, do you need a massage from me?”

“No need.” Li Yi squeezed out these words stiffly.

Zhang Junshi smiled and picked up a towel to help Nie Bufan wipe the stains on his face.

Nie Bufan pulled his hand to one side, took a handkerchief and wiped at it casually himself.

When Li Yi saw this, his face became dark.

After that, everything was calm, and the three of them dried up smoothly and quickly, as if nothing had happened.

But the three have different thoughts in their hearts.

Zhang Junshi revealed his feelings and was no longer depressed.

Li Yi gained a sense of crisis, and was thinking about how to make it official as soon as possible.

Nie Bufan had a rare headache, and he secretly asked himself if he should visit a brothel?

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e ir on tr ee bl oo ms. c o m )

Nie Bufan walked into the kitchen and swept the stove inadvertently, and suddenly shouted, “Where is my chicken soup?”

The stove was empty, leaving only the remaining scent of the chicken soup mixed with a foul smell in the air.

He didn’t even need to guess, it must be Wang Shichan who suddenly circled back and stole the whole pot of soup.

“Who said that the eldest son of the Wang family was otherworldly and ethereal, an “elegant” master in the wind?” Nie Bufan asked with gritted teeth.

Both Zhang and Li looked at each other, neither of them made a peep.

Nie Bufan slapped the table and said cruelly: “Starting today, all meals will be changed to white porridge and eggs!”

“Uh……” Zhang Junshi said hesitantly, “Bufan, as far as I know, Wang Shichan is a vegetarian, and white porridge with eggs seems to suit his taste perfectly.”

Li Yi nodded repeatedly.

Nie Bufan smiled and said, “Then I will add spice to the white porridge and mix garlic in the egg.”

“……” Zhang Junshi glanced at Li Yi, conveying the meaning: You should have beaten the other to death before. Now great, you let him run away, and we will suffer the consequences.

Li Yi also glanced back at him: People who don’t contribute have no right to speak.

Ignoring the eye contact between the two, Nie Bufan angrily washed the rice and began to cook porridge.

Suddenly, he asked, “Who knows what Wang Shichan likes best?”

“Buddhist scriptures.” The two replied at the same time. This was probably something everyone knew.

“How much does he like it?”

“He would recite a scripture before and after meals.” Li Yi replied.

“Cherishes rare ancient books or works handed down from generation to generation.”

“Oh.” Nie Bufan nodded in understanding, his face was no longer murderous, and he began to hum in a good mood.

Both Zhang and Li shivered for no reason at the same time.

It was night, Nie Bufan swiped a book from the little chicken. This was seen in the little chicken’s collection when he was searching for the thief last time. The little chicken had been using it as a tool for grinding its teeth, and the corners were already ragged. Though, the text inside was still whole.

This happened to be a Buddhist scripture, and Nie Bufan could recognize it because there was a Buddha image drawn on the cover. There was not only the original text, but also a translated text inside.

Nie Bufan took out pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and randomly selected a few paragraphs of the original text with translations and copied them down one by one. The words were crooked and twisted like drunk chickens trying to line up.

He then took nails and a hammer, the freshly inked pile of paper, and walked out into the night……

The next day, Wang Shichan appeared in front of Nie Bufan as expected, holding all twelve pages of scriptures he copied last night in his hand.

“Where did this come from?” Wang Shichan asked.

Nie Bufan took a casual look: “What?”

“The “Mahayana Heart Sutra” is an incomplete scripture from hundreds of years ago. There are a total of six Buddhist scriptures for the Six Degrees of Great Cultivation. Now only three have been handed down to the world, and these pages I am holding is from one of the missing scriptures. Where did you get it from? Where is the whole book?”

“Why should I tell you?” Nie Bufan said with a self-satisfied look and drank tea leisurely.

Li Yi and Zhang Junshi, who happened to come to the door, couldn’t help but become curious when they saw this situation. They read the scriptures on the paper carefully. The words were obscure and had far-reaching implications. They were not fabricated out of thin air, let alone by the semi-illiterate Nie Bufan.

Just where did this guy get the Buddhist scriptures? He had asked about Wang Shichan’s preference only yesterday, and today he manifested one. If Wang Shichan liked erotic pictures, then don’t know if he would take out the “Secret Art of Muscle and Bone Transformation”……

Wang Shichan’s face was a little dark. He had always been calm but he couldn’t help feeling angry when he saw the cherished Buddhist scriptures copied in handwriting that looked like demons dancing, and then randomly scattered everywhere. He couldn’t help feeling angry, even more angry than when he was tricked by them yesterday.

“Give me the scriptures.” Wang Shichan said expressionlessly.

“You say to hand it to you then I’ll hand it to you?”

“Then what do you want?”

Nie Bufan looked him up and down a few times before asking, “What can you do?”

“What do you mean?”

“Can you cook?”

“No.”

“Laundry?”

“No.”

“Feed the chickens?”

“No.”

“……Warm the bed?”

“……”

Nie Bufan looked at him contemptuously: “You don’t know how to do anything, why should I give you such precious, rare and unique scriptures?”

“I’ll buy it with money.”

“Ye is not short of money now.”

“Then what are you short of?”

Short of brain cells. Zhang Junshi and Li Yi instantly saw this sentence flash in their minds.

Nie Bufan thought hard and murmured: “I have money, a house, and chickens to warm the bed. I have talents and looks as well as bodyguards. I eat well and sleep well, my life is worry-free. It seems as if I don’t lack anything?”

“……” The three of them appeared speechless at the same time.

“How about this!” Nie Bufan clapped his hands and said simply, “You will keep watch for me around Chicken Nest Village, and be on guard of others stealing the chickens. Recently, there are often strange people around Chicken Nest Village. The chickens are good, pure and harmless, delicate and weak, and will be easily kidnapped away.”

Good, pure and harmless, delicate and weak? This was definitely not describing Nie Bufan’s chickens!

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

The three were silent.

“So?” Nie Bufan asked again.

Wang Shichan thought about it for a while, and finally nodded his head, making a decision that he would regret thousands of times in the future: “Okay.”

Shichan, Shichan, to discuss poetry in terms of Chan Buddhism (TN: the shi in the name Shichan means ‘poetry’ while the chan in the name refer to ‘Chan Buddhism’. The name derived from the theory of discussing poetry in terms of Chan Buddhism by Yan Yu, a Southern Song dynasty poet and theorist, in his book Canglang Poetry Talks).

Perhaps from the moment he was given this name, he was destined to have ties with Buddhism. Born with the root of wisdom that can lead to truth, he felt no desire or ambition, instead immersing himself in tranquilty to gain transcendence. He carried an entire family’s expectations, but had a heart born indifferent to fame and fortune.

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

Though he was the eldest son of the Wang family, he had no ambition to fight for power, no desire to scheme and engage in faction wars. The sneers and angers of others were nothing more than a mash of colors passed by with a glance. He drifted outside the secular world, without sorrow or joy, like an empty mirror or the image of Buddha, ignoring the various forms of sentient beings around him.

There was almost nothing in this world that would affect his heart, except for the treasure trove of the legendary Duobao Sage. He had no interest in the so-called rare and precious treasures. What he really wanted were the various precious Buddhist classics and scriptures collected by Duobao Sage. Therefore, despite his usual indifference to all matters around him, this time he had actually taken the initiative to explore the treasures of Duobao Sage. After obtaining the key he had come to this small mountain village alone.

He didn’t like contact with outsiders, always preferring to be alone and used to hiding his presence. His qinggong (TN: martial arts technique in wuxia that refer to the ability to move swiftly and lightly at superhuman speed, and perform gravity-defying moves such as gliding on water surfaces, scaling high walls and mounting trees) was unparalleled in the world, so long as he didn’t want to be discovered, he would definitely not be discovered.

However, since entering the Chicken Nest Village for the first time, his thinking had changed.

This was a seemingly ordinary small mountain village but yet also revealing strangeness in every corner. As soon as he stepped in the area, he felt completely visible. Although he hid himself well, he still couldn’t get rid of that omniscient line of sight. Soon, he discovered that these lines of sight were actually coming from the chickens in the Chicken Nest Village. They were agile and had keen senses, and there were many times they almost came close to his person.

Towards this, Wang Shichan developed a rare curiosity. He began to sneak into the Chicken Nest Village many times, observing the environment and finding some food on the way.

In the first few days, there was nothing major happening. The cooking skills of the village head of Chicken Nest Village was quite good, and the vegetarian dishes were also not bad. He was satisfied enough, but the act of taking without asking seemed to have offended this person. In the next few days, the food became extremely bizarre. It was either extremely spicy or disgusting in appearance, meat mixed with vegetables, causing one to almost want to go on a hunger strike.

After suffering for several days, he finally changed to eating wild berries. Although he was often hungry, it was better than self-torment.

At this moment, he inexplicably developed a desire, a desire to knead, press and squeeze a certain person.

But it seemed that he was wrong first, so he decided to leave some silver taels when he went again next time.

However, what Wang Shichan never expected was that when he went again, it would be the beginning of his nightmare……

“In today’s world, possessing qinggong that can reach this level can be no other than that Wang family heir.” Si Chenyu shook his fan, “Unexpectedly this time the Wang family had sent him to explore the treasure trove.”

“Who is this ‘Wang family heir’ that you said? What’s wrong with sending him?” Nie Bufan was puzzled.

Si Chenyu replied: “His name is ‘Shichan’, though he is the eldest son of the Wang family, but he had always ignored the secular world. He is an oddity of the Wang family.”

Oddity? Nie Bufan asked with interest: “Is he powerful?”

Chen Muran said: “He has a profound inner force, practically almost reaching the realm of the unity of nature and man. He comes and goes without a trace and is known as the most mysterious and elegant master in the world.”

Nie Bufan curled his mouth and grumbled: “Elegant master? It’s more accurate to say a gentleman on the roof beam (TN: euphemism for thief).” Then he asked: “Then what weakness does his qinggong have?”

“If you want to talk about weakness……” Si Chenyu pondered, “Really, there isn’t any.”

Nie Bufan glanced at him contemptuously.

“Then in other words, it won’t be easy to catch him?” Zhang Junshi said.

Chen Muran nodded: “It isn’t just not easy, but very difficult.”

Nie Bufan asked suddenly: “If he doesn’t use qinggong, will you all be able to win?”

“Of course.” Si Chenyu smiled confidently, “In a direct fight, he won’t be able to last a hundred manuevers against me.”

“But unfortunately we can’t even touch his shadow right now.” Li Huai shook his head regretfully.

“Actually, it’s not impossible, as long as I put some medicine in the meal……”

Li Huai said, “Your meals are just as poisonous without putting medicine in it.”

The others nodded in agreement.

Zhang Junshi coughed and explained: “The most famous thing about the Wang family is not their noble status, but the medical skills and poison skills passed down in their family. The children of the Wang family have all undergone medicine baths to hone their bodies since they were young. Although they haven’t reached complete immunuty against all poisons but normal medicines are completely useless against them.”

Chen Muran also said: “Besides, using medicine is not the work of a gentleman. It is too shameful for so many of us to use medicine to deal with one person.”

Nie Bufan snorted to himself, you actually have the face to say so? With so many people yet they can’t even deal with one person, what place did they have to talk about whether it was shameful or not?

“In that case, I have an easier method.” Nie Bufan said leisurely.

“What way?” Several people asked in unison.

“Catch a turtle in a jar.” (TN: idiom for setting oneself an easy target)

“That person has unparalleled qinggong, how do you plan on grasping his whereabouts and actually catch this turtle?” Si Chenyu asked suspiciously.

Nie Bufan chuckled, “I naturally have my own methods, but you must make a move when the time comes to catch him.”

“This is no problem, so long as he shows his tracks.”

“Okay, just watch.”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e ir on tr ee bl oo ms. c o m )

In the next few days, Nie Bufan returned to normal food, and while the others breathed a sigh of relief, they began to look forward to the day when the turtle was caught.

Wang Shichan had no idea that there was a trap waiting for him to walk into. After making sure that Nie Bufan had finally improved his food, he finally came to Chicken Nest Village again.

This time he had the feeling of being watched by countless pairs of eyes, but because of the previous experiences, he didn’t care too much. No matter how keen, they were just chickens.

At this time, the kitchen was empty. He drifted into the kitchen quietly and reached out to get the food on the table. Who knew that before touching the plate, a dizzying stench filled the air. He quickly held his breath and floated outwards at a very fast speed.

As soon as he left the door, he suddenly heard long bird cries above his head, like warnings coming one after another. Soon, the chickens in the whole Chicken Nest Village were alarmed and began to make a commotion.

Wang Shichan was shocked secretly, enduring the stench as he ran towards the village exit.

Originally, with his qinggong, he could fly far into the mountains and forests in an instant, but it was a pity that the exit was blocked by a dense wall of chickens. More unfortunately, the stench that had now clung to his body clearly betrayed his whereabouts.

Then, a tragedy took place.

The gray chickens in the sky began to intensively throw all kinds of weapons, such as poop, fruit, vegetable leaves, ink bags and so on.

Although Wang Shichan’s speed was fast enough, but under the attack that were as concentrated as raindrops, it was impossible to avoid it all.

He wanted to go straight through the flock of chickens, but the flock was too big, no matter where he ran, there were piles of chickens swarming in. The most frightening thing was the chickens in the sky, like a black cloud pressing down on you and following you everywhere like a shadow. Don’t know if they were chickens or birds, no matter how high they flew they just wouldn’t fall!

With no choice, he had to retreat back to the village in a sorry state. And what he had to face next were Si Chenyu, Li Yi and the others, all geared up and eager for a brawl.

Wang Shichan’s whereabouts had always been elusive. Legend had it that he was both eccentric and aloof, but seeing him now like this, the image of a mysterious master was completely ruined.

He stood there quietly, with a straight back and a deep gaze. But with vegetable leaves on his head, face stained black and white, and clothes equally as stained, any beauty that could be had was completely nonexistent.

To be honest, Si Chenyu and the others could no longer go through with their original plans anymore after seeing Wang Shichan Gongzi in such a pitiful state. They could not do anymore in good conscience.

“Hai, brother Wang, how are you?” Si Chenyu greeted him in as much grace as he could.

Without saying a word, Wang Shichan slowly stretched out his hand to tear off the vegetable leaves from his head.

“This, please excuse us.” Chen Muran suddenly felt terribly guilty.

“Come.” Wang Shichan said softly, “You can all attack together.”

They all looked at each other and hesitated.

Nie Bufan, who was hiding in the dark, gnawed an egg and entered audience mode. His view had changed a little bit about Wang Shichan. This person could face bleak and miserable occurences in life unfazed. It was enough to make him give a thumbs up.

On the other hand, the others were shilly-shallying along and not decisive at all. In order to create opportunities for them, he had mobilized all the air combat power and ground forces, as well as used scent positioning, air warning and chicken sea tactics. If Wang Shichan dived into a pool, he had also prepared underwater combat deployment.

It could be said that everything was ready, only lacking a current of easterly wind.

But looking at this momentum, it was undecided who would blow down who.

Wang Shichan had already overwhelmed everyone with just his aura of sorrow.

“Brother Wang, let this matter go!” Si Chenyu said peacefully, “It was originally just to find the person who stole the food, but unexpectedly it turned out to be brother Wang. As a key holder, why don’t you stay temporarily with us in Chicken Nest Village?”

Naturally, Wang Shichan would not believe that they didn’t know it was him in advance, and he said: “I have always heard that prince Si is excellent at martial arts, and Li Gongzi also possess extraordinary skills. Now it happens we have come together, would it not be a pity without a bit of competition?”

Si Chenyu and the others exchanged looks.

Li Yi took a step back and said lightly: “Why don’t we let prince Si compete with you.”

“What?” Si Chenyu threw an eye knife at Li Yi.

“I remember someone saying a few days ago that in a direct fight, brother Wang won’t last a hundred moves against him.”

Si Chenyu choked suddenly and his face darkened.

Nie Bufan laughed in the dark and thumped his chest in mirth. Brother Li Fourth was quite black-bellied (TN: outwardly kind but inwardly evil).

At this time, Wang Shichan didn’t wait for them to say any more, and his figure approached like lightning, not only targeting Si Chenyu, but also including Li Yi and the rest.

His martial arts moves may not be as sophisticated as Si Chenyu and the others, but they win in speed.

Among the world’s martial arts, there existed none that cannot be overcome, but for speed that was unbreakable.

Wang Shichan’s body dexterously dealt with Si, Li and the others. Although he could not cause much harm to them, he could rub off a few stains on them from time to time.

After just a while, Si Chenyu, Li Yi, Li Huai, and Chen Muran all had stains on their clothes. Wang Shichan generously shared the ink on his clothes with everyone without holding anything back.

They were fighting in full swing, and the surrounding chickens also watched with gusto, occasionally there would even be strange sounding cheers coming from their midst. There were a few chickens who also began to imitate the fight and started to spar with each other, stirring up countless dust, the scene appearing rather spectacular.

Hey, it turned out that Wang Shichan was not as calm on the surface. You could see that just from how he tried especially hard to smear the other people’s clothes with ink handprints.

Nie Bufan secretly laughed.

Zhang Junshi looked at the chaotic scene not far away, and couldn’t help but ask: “How will it end later?”

“It will end when they are tired.” Nie Bufan replied indifferently, “Meeting friends through a martial arts fight, the joys of life.”

“……” He couldn’t see what joys to be had at all!

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

Nie Bufan stood up suddenly, patted his clothes, and said, “Brother Zhang Third, let’s go.”

“Go where?”

“Cooking, they will probably need to replenish their energy later.” Nie Bufan said as he walked, “I have to make a good meal today to soothe their wounded hearts.”

“……”

When Nie Bufan woke up early in the morning, the two brothers were no longer there. He didn’t care either, and began to put on clothes lazily. As soon as he finished dressing, he saw Li Yi leaning against the door and staring at him.

Nie Bufan flicked a drop of eye poop in an extremely elegant manner, and then winked suggestively at Li Yi.

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

The hidden depths in Li Yi’s eyes disappeared immediately, turning his head away with an expression conveying that he couldn’t bear to look straight at the other.

“Good morning!” Nie Bufan greeted him as he walked outside the door.

Li Yi grabbed his waist and whispered in his ear: “Last night doesn’t count. We will find a chance to cultivate again in a few days.”

Nie Bufan glanced at him and said earnestly: “For the sake of your physical and mental health, I think it’s better to practice the secret art of virginity.”

Li Yi scanned him up and down: “You are still a virgin?”

“What’s wrong with being a virgin?” Nie Bufan raised his head and said forcefully and with justice, “I am clean-living and honest, I have high standards when finding a woman.”

“Woman?” Li Yi hooked his chin and said lightly, “You can forget about that in this life.”

Nie Bufan didn’t pay any attention, he firmly believed that he was a normal heterosexual, and his unscrupulous words and deeds were just to increase the joys of life. How could just one Li Yi stop his pure heart that longed for the harmony of yin and yang, the harmony of soul and flesh, and the unity of nature and man?

“What are you doing?”

At this moment, Zhang Junshi’s voice came from not far away. As soon as he entered the yard, he saw the scene of Li Yi and Nie Bufan embracing each other intimately and felt uncomfortable.

Li Yi remained embracing Nie Bufan motionlessly, and looked at Zhang Junshi with a declaration of ownership.

Zhang Junshi smiled calmly, and said: “Bufan, I’ve already prepared you some water, you should go freshen up first.”

“Thank you.” Nie Bufan gave him a big smile then pulled Li Yi’s hand off and turned away.

Zhang and Li stared at each other for a long time, neither willing to retreat, declaring war silently with their eyes. It wasn’t until the newly freshened Nie Bufan called their names from the kitchen that this battle without gunsmoke ended……

Today the staple food of the whole village was dumplings.

Putting the steamed dumplings aside, Nie Bufan stayed in the kitchen by himself, concentrating on the sauce. He suddenly heard a faint cold voice behind him asking, “Are there vegetable dumplings?”

“Yes, the two trays on the right are.” Nie Bufan replied subconciously.

“Thank you.”

Nie Bufan stopped his movements and looked back. There was no one behind him, but two trays of dumplings were missing from the table.

The voice just now sounded familiar yet unfamiliar, but it was definitely not from a resident of Chicken Nest Village.

Nie Bufan walked out of the kitchen and looked around. There was nothing unusual, and so he said to a chicken by the door: “Did you see anyone coming in just now?”

Brother chicken groomed at his feathers and ignored him.

En? It shouldn’t be. Who could break into the kitchen quietly and without a trace when surrounded by chickens?

Nie Bufan pondered a bit and then called over Lady Flower to smell the dumplings, and said, “Lady Flower, take me to find this thief.”

Lady Flower flapped its wings, then ran in a certain direction. Nie Bufan quickly followed.

After passing through the village, and exiting out of the back of the village, another five or six minutes passed before Lady Flower stopped on a hillside.

There were no people around, only two empty trays were left in place.

They ate so fast! Nie Bufan picked up the trays angrily, thinking to himself that a master had arrived at Chicken Nest, one who liked to be a thief.

Because of Duobao Sage’s treasure trove, not only the four major families were dispatched, but other families also wanted to have a share. They dared not openly enter Chicken Nest Village, but they still inevitably sent a few masters to secretly investigate. It was just that the chickens in the Chicken Nest Village were very alert, anyone who came close would be spotted immediately. So far, no one had been able to enter and leave the Chicken Nest Village without a trace, the most they could do was watch from a distance.

It now appeared that there was an exception.

Nie Bufan rubbed his chin in thought.

Just when he was about to go back, he suddenly saw a chicken come out of a small hole not far away with a shiny object in its beak.

Nie Bufan stepped forward in curiosity, snatching it from the chicken beak unceremoniously, and inspected the object. It turned out to be a gold coin. A large ship with a strange shape was engraved on one side, and a circle of unrecognized characters was engraved on the other. It did not seem to be the local currency of Yu State.

Nie Bufan looked up and around, only to find that this mountain happened to be connected to that deep pool. If the pool was really the entrance to the treasure trove, then this gold coin was obviously taken from the treasure trove. His chickens actually dug a hole into the back of the mountain and directly entered the treasure trove.

In this way, what use was the key? Wasn’t it simpler to just excavate it directly?

Nie Bufan rubbed his chin and pondered for a while, murmuring to himself: “No, this mountain is huge. To dig through it will not only take time and effort, but also destroy the landform……I can’t let people do that.”

As he was thinking, suddenly he saw that the chicken was about to drill into the hole again. Nie Bufan’s eyes were quick and he grabbed its tail and dragged it out, saying righteously: “Little chicken, don’t come out during the day, don’t you know there are wicked people out there? Beware of being caught and stewed.”

Brother chicken jumped a few times in dissatisfaction, clucking angrily.

Nie Bufan said again: “Did you move a lot of treasures out from there? That book is also your doing?”

Brother chicken raised its head proudly.

“Don’t be smug.” Nie Bufan patted it and ordered, “Take me to your lair. I have to see just how many good things you have stolen.”

Brother chicken twisted in a mincing and reluctant manner.

Nie Bufan showed it his fist.

Brother chicken then bowed its head, making a gesture of submission.

Then, Nie Bufan followed it all the way back to the village.

As soon as he entered the village, Zhang Junshi saw him, and he asked strangely: “Bufan, where are you going? Where are your steamed dumplings? Why aren’t they on the table?”

“I gotta pee, can you bring the food to the table?”

“Hai, the toilet room is on that side!” Zhang Junshi shouted.

“I want to let it out in the open air today.” The voice carried back on the wind but the person had already gone.

“……”

Brother chicken brought Nie Bufan to a courtyard at the corner of the village, relatively remote and uninhabited. Walking into the house, brother chicken jumped onto a wooden board and pulled a few times on it with its claws.

Nie Bufan lifted the splint and looked inside, only to have his eyes dazzled. Pearls, gems, gold and silver ornaments, ancient books and other treasures were placed in piles. To say nothing, there were forty or fifty pieces, and all were very valuable at first glance.

He picked up a black pearl casually. It was round and transparent, exuding a charming luster.

Not bad, keep it. Nie Bufan unceremoniously stuffed it into his pocket.

Seeing this, brother chicken was furious, jumped into the nest and spread its wings, desperately protecting its precious collection, a pair of beady chicken eyes looking at Nie Bufan vigilantly.

“Tsk, it’s just a pearl, do you need to be so anxious?”

Nie Bufan gave it a contemptuous look, then put down the splint again to cover the “stolen goods” inside.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e ir on tr ee bl oo ms. c o m )

After that, Nie Bufan began to consciously inspect the Chicken Nest Village, and he really did find that there were many treasures scattered everywhere in the corners, mostly small objects, which were not easy to detect when they were thrown in the grass. After a few days, he collected more than ten pieces in total. But obviously there were still many fallen in unknown places.

Don’t know what state the treasure trove of the Duobao Sage was in now that it had been ravaged by this group of chickens? He hoped there was still something left on the day the treasure trove was opened. The destructive power of these chickens was beyond ordinary people’s imagination. Especially after having a certain amount of intelligence, they were even more arrogant and lawless. Nie Bufan strictly ordered them not to openly swagger through the village during the day, and then temporarily put the matter aside.

In fact, Nie Bufan’s curiosity about the treasure trove disappeared without a trace after he learned that a certain exception could come and go freely from his village.

In comparison, he was more interested in the guy hiding in the dark, because that person had sneaked into the village many times to steal food, with a preference for light and vegetarian dishes.

There was one time when Nie Bufan deliberately made a whole meat banquet, but the result was that the person only took away a bowl of rice and two eggs. And on the next day actually sent over a basket of wild vegetables.

In order to find this person, Nie Bufan recruited both Lady Flower and Langya and had them guarding inside and outside during mealtimes, resolutely not letting even a mosquito to fly by. Unfortunately, the result was not satisfactory. The person was like a ghost, coming and going without a trace.

Nie Bufan became agitated and began to change his method of cooking the food, putting spices in the vegetables, adding minced meat in the rice, making vegetarian dishes look like meat dishes, and making meat dishes look like poop……

All of these actions really did cause that person to disappear for awhile. But the other residents in Chicken Nest Village suffered. The taste buds becoming over stimulated, or the appetite being lost when seeing food that looked like poop. After a few days, everyone lost a lot of weight.

“Bufan, do you have something troubling you?” Zhang Junshi finally couldn’t help it. There was a plate of food that looked like bloody gore in front of him, appearing to have come from some evil spirit purgatory.

“No, I’m fine.” Nie Bufan ate the bloody mash completely unfazed.

Seeing a skull-like thing being chewed up by him, Zhang Junshi also felt pain in the bones all over his body.

“If it’s fine, why are these meals like this?”

“What’s wrong with these meals?” Nie Bufan looked puzzled, “Don’t you think it’s unique?”

Zhang Junshi chuckled dryly a few times. The uniqueness was there, but his appetite was gone.

Li Yi sat on the side with a cold face, holding his chopsticks for a long time without picking up from any of the dishes. His eyes wandered over the dinner table, trying to find a relatively normal dish. It was a pity that he couldn’t judge the ingredients of the dishes from the terrible appearance. Even the rice took on the yellow brownish color of poop.

At that moment, they heard violent footsteps coming from outside the yard. Not long after, Li Huai walked in with an unpleasant expression, followed by Si Chenyu and Chen Muran. They had also suffered, and could not bear it any longer, joining together in protest.

As soon as he saw Nie Bufan, Li Huai shouted: “Nie Bufan, what is the meaning of this?”

Nie Bufan looked at him innocently.

“What is this stuff that you are passing off as food?”

“Why, isn’t it delicious?” Nie Bufan picked up a worm-like thing and put it into his mouth, chewing loudly, appearing to be immersed in the aftertaste.

Everyone present turned their heads away at the same time, unable to look directly.

“Speak, what do you want to do?” Li Huai slapped the table fiercely.

Nie Bufan took a wet napkin and wiped his mouth gracefully, saying indifferently: “In fact, it’s nothing. Recently, someone often visits my kitchen to steal the food I cook. Although I am open-minded and magnanimous, but I still have some complaints about a little thief who take without asking.”

“You mean someone sneaked into the Chicken Nest Village?” Li Yi’s expression became alert.

Nie Bufan nodded.

“Are you saying that the reason why you made your food look like gore and excrement recently is because of that little thief?” Li Huai gritted his teeth.

Nie Bufan nodded again, and said seriously: “This is a very serious matter. The food I cook must not be defiled by contemptible thieves.”

So therefore you “defile” us instead? Everyone had this thought at the same time.

Si Chenyu found a place to sit down, and said solemnly: “With the people from our four major families providing deterrence, there are actually people who dare to still sneak into the Chicken Nest Village. This is indeed a serious matter.”

Chen Muran agreed: “Yes, we can’t just sit idly by.”

“Agreed.” Li Huai nodded indignantly.

“Since everyone shares the same feeling, let’s find a way to find this person together.” A dangerous smile lifted the corners of Si Chenyu’s mouth.

It would not be an overkill to punish them with death by a thousand cuts for the sin of making them suffer for such a long time!

The group of princes and nobles at the same time developed extremely strong hostility towards a certain fellow who had yet to show his face……

“Take the clothes off.”

Nie Bufan obeyed, and then saw Li Yi also take off his shirt, revealing his strong bronzed muscles, which was in sharp contrast with his own miserably pale skin.

Nie Bufan grumbled with jealousy.

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

“Lie down.” Li Yi had him lay face down, lying straight on the bed with his hands spread out in a straight line.

Nie Bufan turned his head, blinked at Li Yi, and asked shyly, “Do you want me to spread my legs too?”

“……Close it up!”

Nie Bufan only wore a pair of short trousers. As soon as his legs were spread, the line of his buttocks was perfectly outlined, tight and muscled.

Li Yi tried to ignore it as much as possible, flipping the quilt aside, and shooing away the chickens who wanted to come up the bed as well.

Then, he knelt down beside Nie Bufan’s legs, stretched out two fingers to press on his lower backbone, and said, “Later, you will adjust your breathing as I move, and slowly feel the flow of Qi that I input in your body.”

Nie Bufan nodded obediently.

“Okay, now let’s begin the first step.” As his inner force circulated, Li Yi pushed his fingers upward along the spine, still not forgetting to tell him, “Pay attention to the breathing rhythm.”

“Pfft!”

Li Yi’s fingers had only made their way up halfway, when Nie Bufan laughed out loud.

“What’s the matter with you?” Li Yi scolded, “Be serious.”

“It’s not that I don’t want to be serious, it’s just that it’s really itchy.” Nie Bufan said coyly, “I’m the most afraid of tickling.”

“……”

“Okay, let’s do it again. Your thing moving around in my body, it’s quite interesting.”

“……”

Li Yi’s mouth twitched and started again. This time Nie Bufan did not laugh, but there was a strange noise coming from his mouth: “Nnn……wu……ah……”

The moan was as alluring as it could be, like a chicken claw, scratching at Li Yi’s heart and causing him to feel agitated.

There was a cold sweat on his forehead, and he endured with difficulty. Though, finally they had passed the first round.

Nie Bufan sighed, “It feels so good!”

Li Yi’s face was stiff, showing that he was not feeling good at all.

“What do you do next?” Nie Bufan took the “Secret Art of Muscle and Bone Transformation”, flipped through it, “En, this time it’s lying down face up.”

After saying that, without Li Yi’s reminder, he flipped over and made a posture of being at one’s mercy, and said tragically, “Come!”

Li Yi was silent for a while before spitting out two words: “Raise your leg.”

Nie Bufan lifted both legs immediately.

Li Yi slapped his right leg down, held his left ankle, and pointed his finger at the sole of his foot. He was just about to press down when he heard Nie Bufan thrashing and laughing: “Hahahaha, it tickles!”

“……I haven’t done anything yet!”

Nie Bufan laughed enough and replied, “Can’t I rehearse it first, so that you can be mentally prepared?”

Li Yi stopped on the spot, suddenly wondering if he should continue.

“Come on, I will not laugh later.”

“You are positive.”

“En.” Nie Bufan nodded seriously.

Li Yi didn’t say much anymore, and pressed his fingers to the pressure points on the sole of his foot ——

“Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……”

“……”

Nie Bufan laughed and thumped his chest and feet, looking like he had been struck with madness.

The chickens around were so shocked that their feathers stood upright, and they retreated toward the corner.

Li Yi put down his feet and said lightly: “Skip this step.”

“Okay……” Nie Bufan didn’t insist.

Li Yi grabbed Nie Bufan’s left hand, two fingers slowly moved along his veins, and after one rotation, he raised his right hand……

Then, the range of movements gradually increased, bending his legs, raising his waist, and bowing. Li Yi meticulously helped Nie Bufan complete various movements, but his nerves became more and more tense. The reason was that this guy Nie Bufan’s expression was too alluring, and letting out ambiguous moans from time to time.

For the first time, Li Yi knew that a man’s body could also be so flexible. Those difficult movements were all completed very smoothly by Nie Bufan. With the muscles and bones gradually harmonizing, his body showed a peculiar beauty, like a snow leopard on a high mountain.

Li Yi’s eyes gradually misted over, and his movements became gentler. Although the two bodies were not in direct contact, they were very close, as if they could feel the heat of each other.

“Nn……” Nie Bufan bent his body and said unclearly, “Li Fourth, how long will it be?”

“Almost finished.” Li Yi replied in a hoarse voice, but his hands couldn’t help but to linger around his waist and legs, accompanied with a warm Qi, as if looking for something faintly.

“Wu……can you be faster?”

“You need to be cautious when cultivating martial arts, don’t move.” Li Yi exhaled in his ear, his body was close, their lower bodies almost intertwined.

“Li Fourth.”

“En?”

“Are you really sure that the steps are correct?”

“Of course.”

“Do you need a man’s thing to practice martial arts?”

“En?”

“Your thing keeps poking my waist.”

“……This move helps the Qi to move through the veins unimpeded.”

“……En, is that right? Then……does it need to be inserted inside?”

“How can I know if it is unimpeded if I don’t go in?”

“Does this also need to be specially tried? If it is obstructed, then doesn’t that mean I get constipation every day?”

“……”

“Is it unclogged enough?”

“It hasn’t officially started yet, the fingers are not strong enough.”

“Don’t you want to use that thing?”

“Why not? After passing this level, I guarantee you will be able to practice this skill.”

Li Yi bit Nie Bufan’s ear and wrapped around him with his whole body.

“Li, Li Fourth.” Nie Bufan swallowed, “I think my apititude is dull and stupid, utterly unable to be trained.”

“It’s too early to tell, you have to try to know.” Li Yi groped about at the base of his leg.

“Act-actually, let’s not try it. I’m afraid, I’m afraid of something going wrong and there will be a deviation in the Qi.” Nie Bufan clamped his legs tightly.

Li Yi said in a low voice, “Didn’t it feel good just now? You moaned so happily.”

“Wasn’t that just to cooperate with your hard work? If I don’t utter a sound, wouldn’t it be too shameful for you?”

“……” Li Yi simply blocked that vexing mouth and no longer gave him a chance to argue.

Seeing that his legs were separated, and the hard object was about to come forward.

Nie Bufan pulled out from the kiss and yelled, “It hurts to death!”

“This time again, are you mentally preparing me in advance?”

“No.” Nie Bufan said shyly, “Only two people practicing martial arts is too lonely, I want to call more people to observe and give some suggestions by the way.”

“……” Li Yi said fiercely, “Then I will make you unable to yell out a sound.”

Nie Bufan hurriedly covered his mouth and said in a muffled voice: “You can’t be so selfish. It’s not right for us to enjoy such a peerless martial arts manual alone.”

Li Yi lifted his left leg and was about to enter aggressively.

Nie Bufan hurriedly took his hand away and was about to yell, but was blocked again, lips becoming glued together.

“Wu……”

A small section entered.

Nie Bufan widened his eyes, waving his hands vigorously at the chickens around him watching the show.

The chickens pondered for a long time before they determined that their owner needed help, so they all jumped onto the bed one after another excitedly, piling on them desperately.

Oh the tragedy, being pressed on by a pile of chickens another small section went inside as well.

Nie Bufan’s forehead bursted with an endless waterfall of sweat.

Save……Save me!

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e ir on tr ee bl oo ms. c o m )

Maybe God heard his wailing, just when Li Yi was about to attack and occupy territory, the door of the room was suddenly kicked open, and then there was an extremely pissed off voice: “Nie Bufan, you actually ordered your chickens again……”

The sound stopped abruptly. The scene in front of him had the visitor become dazed like a wooden chicken.

Li Huai pointed at the two people crushed by the chickens and asked tremblingly, “You……what are you doing?”

Li Yi’s face was blue, he was stuck halfway, no room to advance or retreat.

Nie Bufan waved his hand desperately as if he was about to gain amnesty: “Huai Huai, come quickly, we are cultivating martial arts, you can join in.”

Li Yi swept the person under him with a look, reluctantly he withdrew and pulled away, lifting his pants up. Having not got any relief, his desire still stood upright unwillingly.

Nie Bufan hurriedly turned over and sat up, grabbed a few chickens to block the key parts, and smiled: “Huai Huai, you looking for me?”

Li Huai glanced at the two suspiciously. His vision was blocked by a bunch of chickens just now so he didn’t see very clearly, but that ambiguous posture was extremely suspicious.

“Why are you both naked?”

“Didn’t I just say it? Cultivating martial arts.” As he said so, he even took out the worn old ‘Secret Art of Muscle and Bone Transformation’ and shook it.

Li Huai walked over, snatched the book, and after a few glances, he immediately said with joy, “Could it be that this is the long-lost ‘Secret Art of Muscle and Bone Transformation’?”

Nie Bufan nodded pretending to be an expert, but he actually despised it in his heart: This is a damned erotic book!

“I didn’t expect that there really is such book!” Li Huai said to Li Yi in surprise, “Brother, how do you feel when you cultivatrd it just now?”

“Of the highest quality, but unfortunately missed a step.” Li Yi’s expression was twisted.

“The fire of Yang is too deep, too much to bear.” Nie Bufan sighed. (TN: Yang=male energy, Yin=female energy)

Li Huai was puzzled, then smiled again: “I will try too.”

“No.” Li Yi quickly tried to put a stop.

“Try it.” Nie Bufan said generously.

Li Yi glared at him, took the book over, and said, “This is the collection of village head Nie. We can’t covet others’ things.”

Nie Bufan was about to say something, but was pinched secretly by Li Yi, and instantly he felt so aggrieved, hanging his head and complained to himself.

Li Huai didn’t think so, but he didn’t dare to refute Li Yi. When he saw the chickens jumping on the bed, he immediately remembered his intentions, pointed at Nie Bufan and said angrily: “Nie Bufan, you have ordered your chickens to plot against me!”

“Me? No I didn’t.” Nie Bufan said innocently, “I have been cultivating with your brother all night.”

“Hmmph! If it weren’t for your instructions, how could those brutes come and attack me in the middle of the night?”

“Did you not see it?” Nie Bufan pointed around, “I also have a lot of chickens here. They will communicate with you only when they like you. Don’t always have such bitter and deep hatred. Our chickens are actually very cute, I sleep with them every day.”

“Do you think I am you?” Li Huai said irritably, “Who wants to sleep with a chicken?”

Nie Bufan glanced at him contemptuously: “Did you not find out? Your brother, prince Si, brother Chen, and the Tian Nu have all slept with a chicken.”

“……”

Why does this sound so weird?

“Little brother, be more calm, learn from your brother, embracing a harem of chickens without a change in expression, calm and relaxed, just like an expert master.”

“Who you calling little brother?” Li Huai turned to Li Yi with a shining expression, “Brother, I want to sleep here tonight.”

“Okay!” Nie Bufan enthusiastically moved over a space and said, “The bed is big enough, let’s sleep together.”

Li Huai pointed outside the door and said to him, “I’m sorry but can you change places.”

Nie Bufan rolled up the quilt and hugged a rooster, falling on the bed, spitting out two words: “I won’t.”

“You!” Li Huai was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

Li Yi rubbed his forehead and said, “Let’s sleep together. If we keep arguing, the sky will have already lighten.”

Li Huai was indignant, looking around at the chickens eyeing him, he finally climbed onto the bed resignedly.

Nie Bufan nodded in satisfaction and said: “Close the door.”

Li Huai didn’t understand, but then he saw a chicken casually strolling to the door and closing it.

Li Huai pointed at the chicken and looked at Li Yi with his mouth open.

Li Yi lay down expressionlessly and grabbed a piece of quilt from Nie Bufan.

Seeing this, Li Huai had to pretend that he hadn’t seen it, and lay down in the quilt, surrendering to his fate of sleeping with the chickens.

In the darkness, Nie Bufan whispered to Li Yi: “Li Fourth, you still said that it was not an erotic book? It was too explicit, and it almost made me lose my chastity. I will resolutely not cultivate it in the future. You should also take care and be careful of dying from overindulgence.”

Li Yi kissed him fiercely, resenting him for pretending to be stupid and oblivious. They were already like this, and he still dared to deny their bromantic relationship!

Nie Bufan kicked him and motioned him to pay attention to his image. His little brother was sleeping right over there.

Only then did Li Yi sheepishly give up.

That night, the three people with their own thoughts shared a bed but had different dreams. Of course, the heartless Nie Bufan soon fell asleep, the previous events not seeming to have left any psychological trauma on him. This bed had been slept on by five brothers one after another, and it can be considered to be an example of virtuous Gongs coming to their successful conclusion. (TN: author makes a play on idiom 功德圆满 by replacing it as 攻德圆满. It originally referred to virtuous achievements come to their successful conclusion but now hehe.)

When Li Yi brought Li Huai to Chicken Nest Village, Nie Bufan just happened to be absent. They visited Si Chenyu and Tian Nu successively, but Chen Muran excused himself with being ill and did not see anyone.

After greeting everyone, the two returned to Li Yi’s original residence. Li Huai asked uncomfortably: “Brother, do you really plan to live here?”

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

“En.” Li Yi replied absently while making the bed.

“Can’t we wait until it’s time and then come here?” Li Huai looked at everything in the house with disgust.

His impression of Chicken Nest Village was poor, filthy, and vulgar. When he traced Li Yi to here, he had also suffered a small humiliation, and even lost his beloved dog Langya. So unless he had to, he would not want to step into this kind of place in his entire life, let alone live here for a few months.

“Whatever you want.” Li Yi didn’t even give him a look.

Li Huai was dissatisfied, hesitating as he did not know how to choose.

Li Yi said again: “If you decide to stay, you can clean up an empty room by yourself. If you want to leave, you don’t have to alert me.”

As he said so he walked out of the house.

Li Huai hurriedly said: “Where are you going?”

“Taking a walk.”

……Li Huai watched Li Yi leave, and grit his teeth stubbornly.

Fine! I’ll stay!! Even someone as distinguished as Prince Si could live here, why couldn’t he do the same?

Thinking so, he led his servants to find a place to live.

There were not many houses in Chicken Nest Village, only a dozen or so. In the past, only Nie Bufan lived here so it appeared slightly empty. Now, there were a lot of idlers such as the Tian Nu and Si Chenyu, and so the village immediately became full.
　　
As the head of the village, Nie Bufan lived in the largest house with two courtyards and was fully equipped. Unfortunately, he didn’t like to take care of it. Except for the main room, the master bedroom, the kitchen and the bathhouse, the other rooms were occupied by chickens. The courtyard was also filled with many traps, many dangerous elements hidden underground, most of whom liked to be active at night.

The closest to Nie Bufan was Li Yi. His house was smaller than Nie Bufan’s by half, but it was several times cleaner and tidier. The layout of the whole house was the same as his person, simple and neat and not at all luxurious. If not for his natural noble aura, it would be difficult to guess from the style and behavior that he came from a powerful aristocratic family.

Next to Li Yi was Zhang Junshi’s residence. He was a person who knew how to enjoy life very much. His many years of exile to rough and wild places have allowed him to adapt to the surroundings at a master level. Any simple and crude environment will become extremely comfortable under his transformation. No wonder Nie Bufan regarded him as a logistics officer. He was methodical and thorough, tasteful but casual. He could always create the best enjoyment with the smallest changes.

Tian Nu, Si Chenyu, Chen Muran and others who later settled in were in houses opposite theirs, occupying a small half of the Chicken Nest Village. After the initial disgust and irritability, they all began to adapt to the weird living environment of Chicken Nest Village. In fact, there was no place for them to be uncomfortable since here, the chickens were the boss, and anyone who was hostile will be ravaged inhumanly.

Li Huai didn’t know anything about all of this. In his opinion, this was an ordinary poverty stricken village. He didn’t even know that the village head, Nie Bufan, was Li Xiaoyao who he had avoided since their last unpleasant meeting.

Most of the houses in the middle were already occupied, and Li Huai could only choose a house slightly on the edges.

Although it had been renovated once last year, the house still looked shabby and poor. At least in Li Huai’s view, it was simply not a place for human dwelling.

“Shiyi, you take people to tidy up the house, and be sure that it is spotless.” Li Huai pointed to the yard, disgusted, “Also clean up all the weeds quickly, and repair the fence. I don’t want to see a single chicken let in.”

With his orders Shiyi lead two servants into the house.

Li Huai looked for a while, and thought to himself that this place could not be lived in today.

He was about to find Li Yi, when suddenly he heard a familiar voice exclaim joyfully: “Li Fourth, you are back, I missed you.”

Li Huai turned around and looked suspiciously, seeing a person hanging on Li Yi like a koala, and Li Yi who had always been cold and distant even hugged him back.

Li Huai opened his mouth slightly in a gape and walked over quickly.

When he arrived in front of them, the person also happen to separate from Li Yi and faced towards him.

“It’s you!” The two pointed at each other in surprise at the same time. Only one was truly surprised, while the other only feigned surprised.

Nie Bufan smiled and said, “You are here too, Huai Huai.” (TN: the word Huai here means ‘bad’, which is different from the Huai in Li Huai’s name)

“Huai, Huai Huai……” Li Huai trembled and asked, “Li Xiaoyao, why are you here?”

Seeing this person, he couldn’t help but think of the painful experience not long ago. It was really a thing too unbearable to look back.

“Huh? Brother Li didn’t tell you?” Nie Bufan blinked, “I am the village head of Chicken Nest Village, alias “Li Xiaoyao”, whose real name is “Nie Bufan”.”

“……” Li Huai pointed at him, standing on the spot dazed, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

Li Yi understood his brother’s current feelings very much at the moment, and said with a rare comforting tone: “The past is over. Let’s get along well in the future.”

Past? How can it be over? This guy embarrassed him in public many times, even shamelessly kissed him, and later got a group of chickens to attack him and trample him. All these numerous evils, it was outrageous! His existence was a stain that could never be erased in his memory. He once vowed not to have any interaction with him again but who would have thought he would meet him here again!

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e ir on tr ee bl oo ms. c o m )

The so-called, enemies being extremely hostile when they meet, with new hatreds added onto old hatreds, Li Huai only felt anger burning in his chest, eyes like knives and killing intent practically leaking out.

“Brother, you have known him a long time ago, why didn’t you tell me?” Li Huai said in a sinister tone.

Li Yi did not answer, but Nie Bufan said: “He knows ‘Nie Bufan’, so why would he tell you about ‘Li Xiaoyao’?”

“Shut up!” Li Huai looked like a peacock with its feathers standing on end, looking gorgeous even when he was angry.

Nie Bufan completely ignored his anger, turned his head and said to Li Yi: “Little brother also wants to live here?”

Li Yi looked at Li Huai.

Li Huai gritted his teeth: “I’ll live here!”

Li Yi nodded to Nie Bufan.

“Welcome.” Nie Bufan spread out his hands with a smile, and said enthusiastically, “There is nothing else in our Chicken Nest Village, but there are many chickens. You can exchange friendly feelings in the future.”

“Friendly feelings my foot!” Li Huai said angrily, “From tomorrow, I will eat a chicken every day! Steam, stir-fry, boil and stew, take it in turns.”

After saying this, Li Huai suddenly felt a chill run down his back inexplicably.

In truth, chicken was the most commonly eaten in Chicken Nest Village, but generally speaking this was not something to be spoken about out in the open. The chickens that were eaten have special breeding places, and the chickens that wander in the village were mostly the chickens that had undergone a special change. Not only possessing some intelligence but also fighting power that was quite high. And under Nie Bufan’s teaching, they have become even more lawless and extremely arrogant.

Li Huai offended the chicken bosses with just one sentence.

Nie Bufan cast a caring look at him, and said gently: “Whatever you like, I wish you good luck.”

“Hmmph!” Li Huai thought that the other was showing weakness, so he couldn’t help but lift his chin in arrogance.

Li Yi saw this and wanted to say something, but he kept silent under Nie Bufan’s innocent gaze.

Li Huai stopped paying attention to Nie Bufan, and said to Li Yi: “Brother, my house cannot live in today, I will squeeze in with you tonight.”

Li Yi quickly replied: “You can live at my place, and I’ll sleep with Bufan.”

“You are going to sleep with him?” Li Huai pointed at Nie Bufan in disbelief. “Don’t you know he likes men?”

“Not a problem.” He would rather be tormented by Nie Bufan than face the possible tragedy with Li Huai. The so-called brothers, they were used to sell at critical moments——this statement originally came from Nie Bufan.

Li Huai scanned the two of them back and forth, then pulled Li Yi aside and asked in a low voice, “Brother, you won’t be seduced by him?”

“How is that possible?” Could he say that this was exactly what he hoped for?

Li Huai didn’t know his thoughts, believing that he was firm in his conviction and won’t be seduced. So he said with peace of mind: “Well then, brother will have to bear the grievance tonight. With brother’s martial arts, I believe you won’t suffer any losses.”

Li Yi patted him on the shoulder. After a long conflict between his own safety and his brotherly affection, he finally managed to squeeze out a sentence: “You, take care.”

Li Huai heard this and felt confused, thinking that Li Yi actually showed him a rare concern, and felt quite pleased.

That night, when Nie Bufan returned to the room after washing up, Li Yi was lying on the bed and reading.

Seeing Nie Bufan coming in, Li Yi said, “Don’t go too far.”

“What are you talking about so inexplicably?” Nie Bufan replied indifferently as he climbed onto the bed.

“You understand.” Li Yi said lightly, “Although Li Huai is a little spoiled occasionally, he is not a bad person.”

“En, I quite like him a lot.” Nie Bufan nodded seriously.

Then it was really his misfortune to be liked by you……

Li Yi closed the book and mourned for a certain someone in silence.

Nie Bufan noticed the book in his hand, and when he took it over, his expression immediately became weird.

“Why would you read this kind of book?” Wasn’t this the erotic book he put in the drawer?

“Why can’t I read this kind of book?” Li Yi was surprised and asked, “But you, where did you get this book?”

Nie Bufan said: “Don’t get me wrong, this was picked up somewhere, not something I deliberately collected.”

“What’s to misunderstand?” Li Yi opened the book again and nodded in praise, “Not bad.”

Nie Bufan looked at him with horror.

“What are you doing looking at me like this?”

Nie Bufan tutted: “I truly didn’t see it, you actually have such hidden depths? Reading such a book and yet not a change to your face or heartbeat, it really makes me full of admiration.”

Li Yi felt strange, and asked: “What’s wrong with such a book?”

“Hehe, nothing, I understand.” Nie Bufan smiled, lying on his side on the bed, he looked at him ambiguously. He said in an understanding tone, “Men always need some extra comfort.”

Li Yi was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked: “What book do you think this is?”

“Don’t pretend, what else can it be but erotica.”

“……” Li Yi’s hand holding the book trembled slightly, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

It took a while before he showed the cover to Nie Bufan and asked, “Do you know these words?”

Nie Bufan glanced at it and said casually: “I almost recognize it.”

Li Yi took a deep breath, and said: “This is the “Secret Art of Muscle and Bone Transformation.”

“Oh? Really?” Nie Bufan took it and glanced it over, saying suspiciously, “It’s obviously two men who are producing the clouds and rain.” (TN: euphemism for having sex)
　　
Li Yi resisted the urge to pinch people, and patiently explained: ” The ‘Secret Art of Muscle and Bone Transformation’ is a secret martial arts manual of the master expert Fang Yousong from more than a hundred years ago. When it was revealed to the world, its whereabouts became unknown less than ten years later. But according to legend, with this manual one can transform their bones and muscles, so that people who have no talent for martial arts can have the muscles and bones suitable for learning martial arts. This is a miraculous book that can benefit all of the descendants. The postures of the two men in the pictures are physical exercises, with one assisting on the side and the other person tempering and honing the muscles and bones. In addition there is also included the circulation route of the network of blood vessels and pressure points with detailed text explanation. It is indeed a geniune and authentic work of a master.”

Nie Bufan looked like he was listening to the heavenly scriptures. In the era where he used to live, peerless martial arts only existed in legends, and people only understood some fighting skills, which were not as fantastic as in imagination. Now hearing what Li Yi said, he couldn’t help but doubt it.

“This is a martial arts masterpiece?” Nie Bufan squinted at him, “This isn’t a lie you made up to read obscene books with integrity?”

Do you think I am you? Li Yi snarled secretly.

“If you don’t believe me, let’s try it.” Li Yi said suddenly.

“Try it? Try what?”

Li Yi took the book and said expressionlessly: “I will help you practice the basics, and it so happens that you can take the chance to improve your weak bones.”

“Weak?” Nie Bufan sat up and said unhappily, “Where am I weak? I am clearly quite buff.” Saying so he even showed off his biceps.

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

Li Yi stretched out his arm without saying a word and rapidly dispatched him in seconds.

“Okay.” Nie Bufan said sheepishly, “Then let’s try it.”

There was a slight smile showing up inadvertently at the corner of Li Yi’s mouth……
