Nie Bufan and others were locked in several utility rooms in batches. The utility room had no windows and was dark and small.

Tai Yan and Fan Luo lay on the left and right of Nie Bufan, both of them were currently in a semi-drowsy state. When eating just now, Nie Bufan only took a bite. Coupled with his special physique, the effect of the drug had long passed, but his stomach was flat and he was very hungry.

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

Unfortunately, his whole body was now tied into a zongzi (TN: glutinous rice and choice of filling wrapped in leaves and boiled), and he could only wriggle like a worm. Naturally, he would not engage in such futile exercises, and in the face of the dark room, he could only whistle in boredom.

But not long after, there was a slight noise on the roof. And then, a bit of starlight penetrated into the dark room. It turned out that a tile on the roof was removed by something, exposing a hole that perfectly fit a chicken head which at that moment was inserted through the hole.

Due to the dim light, Nie Bufan could not make out the face of this alien chicken.

But the next moment he recognized it, because that fellow was able to talk like a human: “Kek kek kek, you are locked in a small black room.”

“Hero!” Nie Bufan hurriedly called, “Hurry up and help your master to loosen the ropes.”

“What benefit will I get?” Hero began to bargain.

“Benefit?” Nie Bufan asked, rolling his eyes, “What do you want?”

“I want a beauty, a big beauty!” Hero replied immediately. “You only have such aspirations.” Nie Bufan muttered in disdain then promised, “Okay, I’ll find you a dozen beauties when I go back.”

“Oh yeah.” Hero jumped up and down on the roof excitedly, creaking the tiles.

Nie Bufan twitched the corner of his mouth and secretly thought: This guy should lose weight!

Fortunately it did not alert the nearby guards. Hero flew in and landed beside Nie Bufan, using its mouth and claws to help him untie the rope.

Hero was originally a macaw, with great strength, so the rope was quickly untied by it.

After regaining his freedom, Nie Bufan loosened his muscles and bones, and then took out the sleeping little monkey Wukong from his boots. This guy was small, and when they were besieged by pirates, Nie Bufan managed to put it in his boots in time, otherwise once it was discovered by the pirates, don’t know what inhuman treatment it would suffer. The smell inside the boots was a bit unpleasant, but safety was guaranteed in any case.

“Tsk tsk, it’s so stinky.” Hero was jumped a few steps away after getting a whiff. It seriously suspected that the little monkey was not knocked out by the drug, but by the stink instead.

“Does the reaction need to be so exaggerated? I don’t have stinky feet.” Nie Bufan looked disapproving, and even smelt it by himself, then…..changed the subject and asked, “What about the other guys?”

“Outside.”

Nie Bufan calculated that there were only a dozen chickens left by his side at present, and most of them were not suitable for land warfare. Facing nearly a hundred pirates, they would certainly be unable to fight against, let alone protect everyone at the same time.

It would be great if Fan Luo could recover in time.

Suddenly, Nie Bufan’s eyes lit up. Although it was difficult to find the antidote, it was quite easy to find the knockout drug. There must be a lot of stock with the pirates. Why not use their own trick to return the favor?

Thinking of this, he quickly made a plan in his heart. The little monkey who was most suitable for stealing was out for the game at the moment, so he could only ask Hero, who was a bit unreliable.

Hero accepted the task confidently, fluttered its wings and flew out along the road which it arrived from, calling for friends to begin taking action.

Not long after it left, footsteps came from outside the door, and it seemed to be approaching here.

Nie Bufan secretly let out an ‘oh no’, and holding the hemp rope untied from his body, he fumbled his way and hid in the pile of firewood.

The door opened with a bang, and three or four pirates walked in. One of them was holding a candlestick in his hand to illuminate the dark utility room.

After looking around, the man pointed at Fan Luo and said, “It’s him, take him away.”

They did not notice anyone missing, nor did they look carefully at the firewood stack. They swiftly dragged Fan Luo up and walked out.

The wooden door was closed again and locked, and the room became completely dark again.

Nie Bufan got out from behind the firewood stack, and even just using his toes he could figure out why Fan Luo was taken away. That wretched person’s thievish intentions towards Fan Luo had not completely died and he was still actually thinking of indulging in beauty in the middle of the night.

He definitely could not let Fan Luo be defiled by that guy, otherwise, with Fan Luo’s pride, he might cut his neck directly afterwards.

Nie Bufan whistled again, and after only blowing twice, there was an answering whistle in the room. Inside the room? Nie Bufan followed the source of the sound, and it took a lot of effort to distinguish that a gray chicken was hanging upside down on the beam above his head. It was small and thin, and its eyes glowed eerily in the dark.

It was Bat King, its original species being the bat. Normally, it had the least sense of existence of the chickens, and almost never appeared in front of people.

Nie Bufan hurriedly handed the rope tied with a slip knot to it and let it wrap around the beam of the room. One rope was a little short, and he untied all the ropes of everyone in the room and connected them to make a sufficient length. After pulling hard and determining that it could bear a person’s weight, he began to climb up.

After finally getting out and onto the roof tiles, Nie Bufan took a few breaths, and secretly checked whether he had been living too lavishly recently and therefore gained a lot of fat.

Carefully climbing down from the roof, Nie Bufan sneaked through the village houses secretly. Bat King found a good route for him, saving him a lot of time, and his goal was to go straight to the direction where Fan Luo was taken away.

This was a simple house, with only two pirates standing outside, while other pirates were celebrating elsewhere.

Nie Bufan bypassed the front door and sneaked in from behind. The candlelight flickered in the house, there were shadows of moving figures, as well as the splashing sound of water.

Looking through the gap, he found that the pirate captain was ordering his subordinates to scrub Fan Luo’s face.

Tsk, even the invincible seaweed soup couldn’t quench his lust.

Nie Bufan secretly slandered.

Soon, the person in charge of scrubbing left, and only the pirate captain and Fan Luo who had been carried to the bed were left in the room. With wet hair spread out on the bed and his clothes loose and half-open, in the dim candlelight, he looked very beautiful and delicious, at least the pirate captain could not hold back anymore.

He breathed heavily and staggered towards the person on the bed, his mouth letting out lewd chuckles.

Nie Bufan was about to break in to save the beauty, but saw the pirate captain suddenly cover his stomach and exhale out in pain.

“Fuck off!” Fan Luo’s icy voice sounded, and Nie Bufan realized that he was already awake.

“Hmph, I didn’t expect you to wake up so soon.” The pirate captain straightened up and smiled evilly, “Just perfect, it’s more flavorful to play like this.”

The drug he used was very powerful, and it would make even expert masters weak and without strength for dozens of hours. Although the person in front of him was awake, he certainly had no power to resist.

Fan Luo was indeed unable to resist, the kick that he had just kicked out had consumed all his energy. Seeing the man approaching him step by step, murderous intent spread in his eyes.

At this time, Nie Bufan stepped into the house, his hand holding the hoe he found in the yard as he sneaked behind the pirate captain.

The pirate captain seemed to perceive something, and turned his head abruptly, only to immediately see a hoe hit towards him.

With a “bang”, he was smashed head on. The pirate captain’s eyes rolled back into his head and fell to the ground without a word.

When Fan Luo saw the new arrival, his eyes revealed delighted surprise.

Nie Bufan walked over a few steps and touched him from head to toe with his hands. He then asked: “How is it, is the chastity still there?”

Fan Luo’s joyful expression immediately stagnated, and the excitement that had just risen in his heart disappeared.

Seeing this person’s hand seemed to be about to slip into his pants, Fan Luo quickly stopped him: “Enough of you, I’m fine!”

“Really? You’re really okay?” Nie Bufan asked without giving up. 

Fan Luo looked conflicted and asked in a depressed tone: “Then do you actually want me to not be okay?”

“Fine.” Nie Bufan stepped back, turned to look at the pirate captain who had fainted, and asked, “What about this person?”

“Kill him.” Fan Luo replied without hesitation.

Nie Bufan touched his nose and said in a mumble, “I haven’t killed anyone before, so I’ll leave it to you to vent your anger.”

Fan Luo nodded and asked him to tie up the pirate first. At this moment, there was a strange noise outside the window.

He was immediately alert, but Nie Bufan waved his hand and said, “It’s okay.”

He opened the window and Hero flew in along with a few chickens behind it, small porcelain bottles clutched in their claws.

Nie Bufan didn’t bother to ask where they found these medicine bottles, opened them and smelled them, and then took them over to ask Fan Luo.

“Are you thinking of knocking out all the pirates with the medicine?” Fan Luo asked, leaning against the bedpost.

Nie Bufan nodded.

“It’s a good idea.” Fan Luo pondered for a while and said, “I’ll help you choose medicines. You must choose colorless and tasteless medicines.”

Nie Bufan took the bottles and opened them one by one to let him distinguish the properties of the medicines.

After smelling all of them, Fan Luo chose two types and said calmly: “Be careful when using the medicine as I’m really not sure. You can also ask one or two villagers to help. Although they are accomplices of the pirates, they are also controlled by others. They definitely must have hatred in their hearts for the pirates and should help you.”

“You don’t have to worry about this, I have my own way.”

Nie Bufan turned around, opened the two bottles of medicine, and poured them all into a teacup, and then asked Hero and the chickens to step in the teacup a few times. After making sure the powder covered their chicken feet he nodded in satisfaction.

Hero was clever and smart, and after Nie Bufan’s demonstration, it quickly understood the method to use the medicine on the pirates.

It cackled a few times, and excitedly led its little friends out of the room.

“Done!” Nie Bufan snapped his fingers. So long as most of the pirates were dealt with, the remaining few were not a concern.

Fan Luo looked at him, looking like he wanted to say something.

If he had seen correctly just now, this guy was teaching the chickens how to administer drugs to people.

Truthfully, what he raised were really divine creatures in chicken skin right? Fan Luo had a strange expression.

“By the way, is there an antidote to the knockout drug among these bottles?” Nie Bufan only thought of this question at this time.

“Yes.” Fan Luo pointed to the porcelain bottle on the bedside table, “I have used it just now, and my strength will be restored in about an hour.”

“Great, the plan will be even more foolproof now.” Nie Bufan picked up the porcelain bottle, his eyes lighting up and said, “I’ll send it to Tai Yan and the others later.”

As he was talking, the corner of his eyes suddenly noticed that the pirate captain who had fainted on the ground suddenly turned over, raised the hoe, and smashed it towards Fan Luo, who had his eyes closed and resting on the bed.

Nie Bufan didn’t even think about it, throwing himself over in a particularly fancy posture.

When the hoe fell, he only felt a sharp pain in his back and his bones making a creaking sound.

Before fainting, Nie Bufan’s only thought was that he didn’t intend to htrow himself over on purpose…..

As soon as Fan Luo opened his eyes, he saw Nie Bufan throw himself down over him and block a fatal blow for him. Just hearing the sound of broken bones, and he felt the world spin and cold air travel up his back. If the bones of the limbs were broken, there was a chance to recover, only the spine was a different story. Once the spine bone that supported the human body was broken, the best case scenario would be paralysis, and the worst would be death.

Seeing Nie Bufan’s serious injury, the blood in Fan Luo’s veins suddenly bubbled and boiled, his eyes going red. He rushed towards the pirate captain like a hungry tiger, grabbed the other’s neck, fingers digging into the flesh, and forcefully broke the pirate captain’s Adam’s apple.

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

His eyes, which were normally full of charm and allure, were now full of evil spirits and murderous intent at this moment, cold and intangible, full of madness.

The pirate captain looked at him with wide eyes, opened his mouth but could make no sound. In the next instant, he died with an expression of fear like one who had seen the devil.

This crab crawls by…..The Teacher of the State succeeded in attacking…..Village head Nie was successfully caught in the midst of clever remarks, blowing winds, and breaking waves…..(TN: crab is homonym for censor in Chinese)

The Jellyfish arrived in Lianqing at night.

The ship was docked on the shore. After Tai Yan arranged the affairs, he went to find Fan Luo and Nie Bufan, and wanted to invite them to have a meal together.

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

After knocking for a long time, the door reluctantly opened a gap, revealing a half hidden face in the gap. A bunch of tangled hair hung in front of the face, the eyes under the hair flickered, and slender fingers clung to the edge of the door where they scratched back and forth with their nails, creating a screeching noise and adding a strange atmosphere to this dim and quiet environment.

“What’s the matter?” Nie Bufan asked in a gloomy tone.

“Uh…..” Tai Chi replied hesitatingly, “The ship has docked, do you want to eat something?”

Nie Bufan stared at him for a long time, then stretched out a bare hand tremblingly, grabbed his sleeve, and said equally tremblingly: “I must trouble you to get me a set of clothes first.”

“Clothes?” Tai Yan’s gaze unconsciously peeked behind the door through the crack of the door, trying to see what was in the part that was hidden by the door.

Nie Bufan closed the door tighter again, and said guiltily, “What are you looking at? Haven’t you seen what a man without clothing looks like?”

“Cough.” Tai Yan touched his nose, and said with a suppressed smile, “Okay, I’ll ask someone to give you a set…..”

Before he finished speaking, the hatch door closed with a “bang”, and Tai Yan couldn’t react for a while, freezing in place, but soon, the hatch door opened again. This time it was still a seam, except that there was no human head, only a scissor hand shaking, and then someone’s vague voice: “Two sets, we need two sets!”

Tai Yan left inexplicably, the curiosity in his heart bubbling like a fish with asthma. With Fan Luo’s character, sleeping in the same room with others was already an amazing thing in itself, let alone sleeping “unclothed”? What was their relationship? What did they do in the room?

In order to find out the truth, Tai Yan personally brought two sets of clean clothes and knocked on the door: “Lord Teacher of the State, Wei gongzi, the clothes are here.”

He had already planned that as soon as the door was opened, he would “accidentally” stumble, then “bump” on the door and “fall” into the room.

After simulating it for a moment in his mind, the door finally opened with a creak. Tai Yan prepared himself, and he fell sideways towards the door, and with a “bang”, half the weight of his person pressed on the door panel, and yet the door didn’t move at all!

Tai Yan was puzzled, and he reached out and pushed hard, but the door remained motionless and remained ajar firmly.

Was it stuck? Tai Yan continued to push with perseverance, but still it had no response.

At this moment, a chilly voice came: “Brother Tai, what are you doing? Testing how strong this door is?”

Tai Yan’s movements paused, and then remembered that his behavior was a bit idiotic. He straightened his posture and turned to look at Nie Bufan, showing an aristocratic smile and said: “The clothes are here, why don’t you see if they fit?”

Nie Bufan didn’t take the clothes immediately. Instead, he scanned him up and down with searchlight-like eyes, until the other person’s smile was distorted before he slowly retracted it, took the clothes, thanked him, and closed the door.

Tai Yan looked at the door with conflicted feelings, he still couldn’t find out the secret, what a pity!

What was going on with the door just now——behind the closed door, a row of chickens was standing in line at that moment, pressing against the door and guarding vigilantly…..

Nie Bufan, who was neatly dressed, walked down the ship and embarked ashore with a bright smile as always. Fan Luo, who followed behind him, walked with light steps and springtime in his eyes, the corners of his mouth raised slightly and his whole person was like a peony sprayed with morning dew, a peerless wicked beauty.

Tai Yan felt that the two of them were a little eye-blinding, and the gloomy night could not conceal the firefly light they gave off.

Tai Yan led the people to the shore while introducing: “There is only a small village here. Although the conditions are a bit simple, the food is not bad, so I must ask you two to put up with it.”

“I’m very ‘particular’.” (TN: word for putting up and being particular sound the same though they have completely opposite meanings) Nie Bufan said with his hands held behind his back and his head upright, “Forget about crude tea and rough food, but fish soup and the like are acceptable.”

Fan Luo said, “Second island master said to ‘put up with it’!”

Nie Bufan glanced at him and said solemnly: “Do you think I have a bad ear? I am a person who is both ‘particular’ and ‘unpicky’, flexible and able to move forward and retreat backward. This is the highest realm one can reach in life. Of course, with your ability you probably won’t understand this.”

Fan Luo and Tai Yan fell silent.

Don’t try to correct a certain someone’s mistakes and outlook on life. There would be only two results. One was to go crazy; the other was to be completely brainwashed and never step back on the road of return.

Lianqing was remote and almost isolated from the mainland. Except for waterways, land transportation was very inconvenient. It was not marked on the map of the Ming Kingdom and was only used as a temporary transit point for general sea ships to temporarily dock at.

But people from Qiyu Island traveled between the two places all year round and were familiar with the fishermen here. They even helped the fishermen build a stockaded village open to the outside world to provide water, food and accommodation for passing sea merchants.

The several people were greeted into the stockaded village, arranged rooms, and then had a meal together.

Nie Bufan’s chicken ran away as soon as they got ashore, seeming to have been cooped up too long on the boat. In the end, only Wukong remained by his side.

The servant placed the hot meals out one by one. Everyone was tired and hungry from the journey so they did not make extra polite talk and started to enjoy themselves after picking up their chopsticks.

Nie Bufan distributed food to Wukong first, and then began to eat himself.

But after only two bites, he threw his chopsticks into the bowl and shouted: “There’s poison!”

The expressions of Tai Yan, Fan Luo and the others changed. The former was somewhat skeptical, but the latter was undoubtedly convinced.

Although Nie Bufan was often unreliable, he never made jokes about important things.

Fan Luo stood up quickly and stared at Tai Yan seriously.

Tai Yan frowned and looked around, keenly aware that the expressions of several fishermen not far away were indeed strange, and he quickly ordered an investigation into the situation.

However, the subordinate fell down without warning as soon as he took a few steps.

Before Tai Yan even had time to be stunned, he saw other people in the hall also faint one after another. There was a ping-pong-pong-pong noise, and the scene suddenly fell into panic.

“What’s happening?” Tai Yan shouted angrily, and at the same time felt dizzy as well.

At this time, a fisherman was dragged in and fell to the ground. He cried and said, “I’m sorry, second master, we really had no choice!”

“What do you mean ‘no choice’?” Tai Yan asked with gritted teeth trying to resist the effects of the drug. 

“A group of pirates came to our village the other day. They took the women and children and forced us to help them rob passing merchant ships.”

Tai Yan slapped the table abruptly and said angrily: “Pirates? What kind of pirates are so bold and dare to rob even the ships of Qiyu Island?”

The fisherman was trembling and unable to say a word more.

Tai Yan looked around, only five or six people were still standing, including Fan Luo and Nie Bufan.

He waved his hand and told the rest to return to the ship immediately. But as soon as the order was given, a group of men dressed in various styles poured into the village.

“Hahaha…..” The black-faced rough looking man at the head laughed arrogantly, “I finally caught a big fish this time!”

Tai Yan stared at him coldly.

“Don’t look at me like that, I’m not afraid.” The rough man said leisurely, “After we finish this trip, we will run away. The sea is vast and no matter how capable Qiyu Island is, you won’t be able to catch us.”

“Good, very good.” Tai Yan sneered, “I want to see if you really can escape from the pursuit of Qiyu Island.”

“I’m afraid you won’t be able to see anything anymore.” The rough man stepped on the stool and laughed triumphantly.

As he spoke, he waved: “Fellows, go! Tie them all up and lock them up in batches, we will throw them into the sea together tomorrow to feed the fish.”

“Boss, why not just directly…..” A wretched-looking guy leaned in and made a cutting gesture.

The rough man waved his hand and said, “They are all sea merchants. It is most suitable for them to die in the sea. How can an elegant person such as I not give them the ending they deserve?”

“Boss is wise.” The bandit gave a thumbs up.

A group of pirates heckled noisily as they rushed towards Tai Yan and the others.

The several people who had been drugged fought hard to resist, but could not restore the situation, and were eventually taken down one by one.

At this moment, the rough man suddenly noticed the gloomy-faced Fan Luo, and his eyes widened, revealing a covetous light.

In a few steps he walked to Fan Luo’s side, rubbed his chin and looked him up and down, and said: “What a rare beauty, it seems a pity to kill.”

Fan Luo’s eyes flashed sharply, his fists clenched tightly. He was born into a noble family, when had he ever suffered such treatment? And how could he tolerate such a look? He had thought that with the second island master of Qiyu Island escorting them, there would be no danger along the way, but he didn’t expect to fall into the hands of a group of pirates!

Tai Yan was obviously also in a rage, believing himself to have lost face, and wished to kill these people immediately.

Seeing Fan Luo glaring at him, that pair of alluring eyes appeared to be even more enchanting, the rough man couldn’t help but stretch out his hand, wanting to molest him.

At this time, a bowl of alluring seaweed soup was poured from the sky, landing directly on Fan Luo. The seaweed hung on his head and face, and instantly and ruthlessly destroyed his beauty.

“What the hell?” The rough man returned to his senses, looking at the beauty who had become a seaweed head, and flew into a rage out of humiliation.

“It’s this…..this kid.” A pirate cautiously pointed to Nie Bufan, who was re-bound and still holding an empty bowl in his hand.

“Do you want to die?” The rough man glared at Nie Bufan fiercely.

Nie Bufan said innocently: “I was so hungry. I just wanted to drink some soup. But your subordinates were so rude and caused me to spill all the soup. What a waste.”

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

“You’re damn lying!” The rough man roared in a bad tone, and then ordered, “Okay, lock them all up. Let’s count the spoils and leave here tomorrow morning.”

Such an interruption wiped out the lust after it had just been aroused.

Fan Luo looked at the calm and relaxed Nie Bufan through the pieces of seaweed and smiled back at the other, his eyes soft.

For some reason, his anxious mood just now gradually calmed down..…

The letter was handed over to the ship captain, who took the letter very seriously and immediately sent someone to take a fast boat with the letter to the Jellyfish that was about to meet up with them.

When the two ships met up, only then did Fan Luo know that the person in charge of the Jellyfish was an important person on Qiyu Island.

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

“Welcome to the Jellyfish, Lord Teacher of the State.” A man in his early thirties opened his arms to greet him. He had a handsome appearance, well-defined features, a pair of blue eyes like clear sapphires, dark brown hair casually tied behind him, a black cloak with gold trim on the shoulders, and tall boots. He was dressed like a medieval man of Western nobility.

“It turns out that the second island master personally led the team this time. Forgive this official for being rude.” Fan Luo avoided his warm embrace and nodded slightly.

“Haha.” The man smiled as he looked at him and then teased, “Lord Teacher of the State is too cautious. It’s a pity with such naturally beautiful looks.”

Fan Luo immediately shot him with coldly sharp eyes.

The man spread his hands and said with a smile: “Okay, I won’t say anymore. Is there an important matter for the Lord Teacher of the State to attend to at Qiyu Island this time?”

“I am accompanying this gongzi…..” Fan Luo turned his head, only to find that the person who had been standing next to him had already disappeared for some time.

He asked the servant on the other side: “Where is Wei gongzi?”

The servant replied: “He just went to the stern to watch the fish.”

“Watching fish?”

The man took over in answering, “I see, it should be the marine fish caught during the Jellyfish’s journey, and it just happened to be netting now.”

As he led Fan Luo towards the stern of the ship, he curiously asked, “I wonder who is the noble person who needs the personal accompaniment of the Teacher of the State?”

Fan Luo did not answer, and his pace accelerated.

“What kind of fish is this?” Nie Bufan’s voice traveled over before he even got close.

“This is the Napoleon fish.” A crew member replied.

“What about this one?” Nie Bufan asked again, pointing to a scarlet fish that was jumping up amd down.

“It’s a coral grouper.”

“I know this.” Nie Bufan said excitedly, “It’s a puffer fish!”

The crew member nodded, but seeing that Nie Bufan seemed to want to poke it with his hands, he quickly stopped and said: “Ai, gongzi, don’t touch it, be careful of getting hurt.”

At this time, the puffer fish’s body full of small spines suddenly bulged, and soon became balloon-shaped, round and quite adorable.

But who knew, a chicken claw suddenly appeared in the air, stepping on the fish hard, and with a whooshing sound, the puffer fish’s body was instantly squashed flat like a tire leaking. Then a few chickens surrounded over, swiping one claw on the right and another claw on the left, teasing the poor fish.

The crew around all watched silently.

“Xiaobao, what are you doing?” Fan Luo saw that he was squatting on the deck in a squatting toilet-like position, doing harm to the fish with his chicken.

Nie Bufan turned his head and waved: “Teacher of the State, come and see quickly, there are so many strange fishes here.”

The man following Fan Luo squinted his eyes and looked at the person with a brilliant smile under the sun, as if a burst of vitality was injected into the surrounding scenery.

Fan Luo walked over in a few steps, stretched out his hand to pull him up, and was about to speak, but then he saw Nie Bufan’s eyes move behind him, his face full of surprise.

Fan Luo pursed his lips and introduced, “This is Tai Yan, the second master of Qiyu Island, and this is Wei Xiaobao.” But he did not say his identity.

Nie Bufan quickly stretched out his hand and smiled in a friendly manner: “Hello, Mr. Tai.”

Tai Yan raised his eyebrows, and also reached out to shake hands with him, and replied, “Has Wei gongzi been to the West?”

“I have been there once or twice.” Nie Bufan replied without any hesitation.

Fan Luo cast a strange look at him, secretly wondering, wasn’t this guy a chicken farmer?

Yet he was not at all shy and could hook up with anyone.

“Oh? That’s great! There are many overseas friends on Qiyu Island, so you can communicate with them at that time.” Tai Yan’s hearty smile had some roguish feeling to it.

Nie Bufan scanned him up and down. Since this person was the second master of Qiyu Island, then wasn’t he a relative of Tai Bai? Weren’t they of the same blood? One was like an English thoroughbred horse, while the other was like a small country donkey.

Displeasure flashed in Fan Luo’s eyes and he said to Tai Yan: “I believe that the second island master has received the letter from Tai Bai gongzi, so we will go ashore at Jingyang Port.”

“No hurry, it looks like the weather will change, and our schedule may be delayed.” Tai Yan didn’t mind Fan Luo’s coldness, and smiled, “Please rest assured, Teacher of the State and Wei gongzi, I will entertain you both well on the way.”

“Then let’s eat fish today!” Nie Bufan pointed to a large number of fish on the deck with great enthusiasm.

“Okay, what fish do you want to eat?”

Nie Bufan turned his head and asked the chicken friends: “What do you want to eat?”

Several chickens glanced at him, and then used their claws to sift through the fish pile like a bunch of big masters, seeming to be choosing fish.

Tai Yan’s eyelids twitched a few times. He seemed to see the expressions of disgust on the faces of several chickens?

At this moment, a black-purple chicken suddenly spread its wings and raised its head to call out. It then fluttered a few times, jumped down and flew out of the ship, making a beautiful maneuver in the air before rushing toward the sea like a sharp arrow where it then plunged into the sea water.

The chickens who were still playing with fish all jumped onto the side of the ship, clucking excitedly.

Everyone was dumbfounded, and didn’t know how to react. Then most people rushed to the side of the ship and leaned forward to look at the water.

A black shadow broke out of the water, bringing up a dazzling splash of water as it flew high on the waves. It hovered in the air for a while, and finally landed on the deck, spitting out a tuna a bit bigger than its body.

Nie Bufan gave a cheer, rushed over to grab the fish, and boasted: “Good job! Lulu (cormorant).”

Lulu raised its head, and accepted the worship of other chicken friends in a dignified manner.

“I didn’t see wrong, did I? This is indeed a chicken, isn’t it?” A crew member asked hesitantly.

“I doubt it too.” Another crew member said in a daze. “Is this actually a seabird that looks like a chicken?”

“But, no matter how I look at it, it’s a chicken…..” Crew member three tried hard to find non-chicken characteristics, but failed.

Nie Bufan grabbed the dying tuna and ran to Fan Luo’s side. He smiled and said, “Let’s eat this today?”

Fan Luo’s gaze glanced between him and the fish, but did not comment.

Tai Yan asked in amazement, “Brother Wei, what kind of chicken is your…..chicken?”

“You won’t understand even if I say it, so don’t ask. I won’t tell you even if you ask. This is a commercial secret.” Nie Bufan said solemnly.

Tai Yan was speechless, and after a moment of silence, he asked again, “I wonder if this chicken is for sale?”

It would be very interesting to have such a chicken on the ship that could catch fish.

“Not for sale.” Nie Bufan refused without hesitation, “However, if it has offspring, I will consider giving you one. The premise is that you must get their approval.”

Tai Yan smiled and said, “Then that’s good, I would like to thank you in advance.”

“Then here, you can have this.” Nie Bufan dumped the fish that was still jumping to Tai Yan, ruining his exquisite and expensive attire in a very carefree manner, then turned and ran to Lulu’s side, saying : “Lulu, give birth to a few more little Lulus in the future, and the great task of establishing diplomatic relations with overseas will be entrusted to you.”

With a scoff, LuLu showed strong disdain for a certain someone, fluttered its wings a few times and flew onto the fish pile. It screeched fiercely at the surrounding crew members, not allowing them to approach.

It seemed to plan to exchange a single fish for a bunch of fish. What a good deal!

Nie Bufan gave it a thumbs up in his heart, it was worthy of being his, Nie Bufan’s, chicken, what style!

In the end, Tai Yan, of course, very tactfully gave the bunch of fish to Lulu.

When returning to the cabin, Tai Yan asked Fan Luo in a low voice: “Who is this Wei gongzi? He seems very unfathomable!”

Hearing this, Fan Luo also responded to him with an unfathomable silence.

The Jellyfish sailed towards the nearest dock, and as the weather might change at night they had to moor before dark.

The ship rocked in the waves, and the sea breeze blew the sails noisily.

After dinner, Nie Bufan and his chicken were ordered to stay in the cabin and were not allowed to leave.

He lay down on the bed and shook the little monkey’s arm in boredom, making it rotate in the air. A chicken could no longer watch anymore, and pecked Nie Bufan’s evil claws, saving Wukong from this merciless ravagement.

Nie Bufan rubbed the back of his hand, and shifted eyes with evil intent to the other chickens. The chickens bristled up, drilled into the ground, flew up, or hid away, disappearing in just a matter of seconds.

A bored Nie Bufan was a demonic existence and must be kept away.

“Are you really that bored?” Fan Luo asked, leaning against the bed and raising his eyes.

“Where do you see that I’m bored?” Nie Bufan gave him an eyeroll. Lying on his side on the bed, he twisted his body into an S shape, and called it yoga.

“Since you are feeling idle,” Fan Luo tossed down the book in his hand, and said meaningfully, “Should we continue with what was unfinished yesterday?”

Nie Bufan’s hairs stood up and he hugged the quilt, showing a reluctant expression as he said: “I am physically disabled and will not succumb to evil forces.”

Fan Luo’s mouth twitched a few times, and he felt pain when he thought of the cruelly interrupted sex yesterday. This guy was really good at ruining the mood, no matter how sexy the atmosphere was, he would destroy it all.

Fan Luo felt that so long as one could make him submit, there would be no creatures that could not be made to submit in this world. The process of making him submit was also a process of tempering and strengthening one’s will.

“You don’t need to struggle, this time I will do it all the way to the end no matter what.” Fan Luo looked firm.

“If you dare to do it, I will shout for help.” Nie Bufan said viciously.

“Then go ahead and shout.” Fan Luo said gloomily while undressing, “The wind is so strong outside, even if you break your throat, no one will come to rescue you.”

Nie Bufan looked at him with incredulous eyes, and said in shock: “Teacher of the State, are you possessed by a flower thief?” (TN: flower thief  =rapist)

Fan Luo twitched his lips, tried to restrain his trembling emotions, brewed his desires, and pressed down on the other with the mentality of one facing death with equanimity.

“Teacher of the State, your expression looks like you have constipation. Are you sure you don’t need to go for a squat?” Nie Bufan reminded him kindly.

Fan Luo’s face turned dark, and he directly seales the other’s mouth with his own, biting down slightly in punishment.

“Nngh…..ah…..it hurts….en.”

Fan Luo stroked over him nimbly with both hands.

“This…..you don’t need to go for a squat, I need to, please excuse me…..ngh…..I really…..”

“Shut up, when it’s over, let’s go squatting together.”

Oi, Teacher of the State, do you still have any moral principles left?

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

Nie Bufan was both sorrowful and indignant.

In the midst of rocking, he suddenly had an epiphany. It was not him who was gay, but the world itself was gay!

So, he should face this calmly…..right…..

“What? That guy got on the ship to Qiyu Island?” Zhang Junshi read the letter sent by Big Weapon with a shocked expression on his face.

“What? He got on the boat to Qiyu Island?” Contrary to the reactions of the others, the corners of Tai Bai’s mouth rose at a suspicious angle.

Li Yi nudged him away, grabbed the letter in Zhang Junshi’s hand, and scanned the lines of chicken feet-like handwriting, his eyes blazing.

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

Zhang Junshi eased his breathing and said to Tai Bai, “Brother Tai Bai, it seems that I must trouble you.”

“Trouble me with what?” Tai Bai looked up at the sky.

“I must trouble you in writing a letter to stop the ship heading towards your island and help us pick him up. If you can have that ship directly send him back to the village, we will definitely be grateful.” As he spoke, Zhang Junshi fetched pen, ink and paper from his desk. He spread out the paper, smiled and motioned for him to write.

Tai Bai said shiftily: “This is not easy to handle. Although I am the young master of Qiyu Island, my father and my second uncle have always taken care of the business on the island. It won’t be easy for me to intervene.”

Li Yi squinted at him and said coldly, “Perhaps it would be more effective to exchange you as a hostage.”

Tai Bai’s face paled a rare white. He looked at Li Yi, who was like a cold faced god, and then looked at Zhang Junshi, who looked like a smiling tiger. There was also the spectre-like Wang Shichan behind him. And so, he finally compromised. He lifted the pen and wrote while sighing before stamping it with his family seal.

In the letter, Tai Bai asked the merchant ship to dock at Jingyang Port and let the “guest” on board to go ashore, and also specifically mentioned to take good care of the other.

Zhang Junshi looked at it for a while and said: “This letter alone is not enough. Someone must go to pick him up, otherwise who knows where he will wander off to when he gets ashore?”

The rest nodded sadly.

Li Yi frowned and said, “We are all under Wei Di’s surveillance, and it is difficult to slip away.”

“You and I may not be able to do it, but brother Wang must be able to.” Zhang Junshi and Li Yi turned their heads and looked over at the same time, only to see that there was no sign of Wang Shichan at all.

At this time, Nie Bufan was standing on the bow of the ship, his arms open wide and enjoying the cold sea breeze. His hair was blown messily in the wind, looking like the strands were having convulsions. Under the crew’s shocked eyes, he sighed: “Oh wind, won’t you come even more violently!”

More violent? The most feared thing when sailing on the sea was a big storm, okay?

Nie Bufan’s lips turned purple from the sea breeze blowing at him, and yet he still insisted on posing on the bow of the ship, and even his chickens also joined in on his convulsive display, standing upright in the wind with their chicken feathers blowing every which way.

The Lord Teacher of the State finally couldn’t stand it anymore, hooked his waist, dragged him directly into the cabin, stuffed him into the quilt, and wrapped him in a ball.

“Say, what part of your brain circuit went wrong?” Fan Luo squinted at him and scolded. “What are you doing standing out in the cold wind, do you want to be blown to death?”

Nie Bufan sniffled his nose and said in a muffled tone, “It’s just some blowing wind, I won’t die.”

Fan Luo shook his head, turned around and asked someone to prepare some hot water. When he hugged him just now, he felt that his whole body had become cold and stiff, like a zombie.

Nie Bufan rolled around on the bed, as if he had a case of lice, feeling uncomfortable all over.

It had been two days since his letter was sent, and he didn’t know if they had received it or not. Although he spoke about going to the island to play, in his heart he hoped to return to the village more. He missed the chickens in the village, the flowers and plants in the village, and the freedom of the village.

Really, he really wants to go back.

He grabbed a passing chicken beside the bed and shook it: “You say, when can we go back?”

The little chicken spread its wings and threw a feather at him, giving him a contemptuous look with beady chicken eyes. If the wing was replaced by an adult’s hand, it might be able to show him the middle finger.

Nie Bufan pointed at it and said with discontent: “I am your village head at least, can’t you show some respect? If you guys were more fierce, what need would there be for us to flee like fugitives?”

This was the Nie style. He made trouble everywhere and let others clean up the mess for him, but in the end, he still complained about others’ ineffectiveness.

All the chickens in the cabin collectively turned their backs and used their butts to show him just how much contempt they held for him.

Nie Bufan sighed sadly: “The chicken heart has faded, the team is not easy to lead anymore.”

At this time, Fan Luo came back, with a crew worker carrying hot water behind him. The crew worker left the cabin after putting down the bucket, but not before giving Nie Bufan and his chickens a curious look. He and the other crew members had an unsolved puzzle in their hearts, that was, exactly when did these creatures get on the ship?

Fan Luo stretched out his hand to test the temperature of the water, and beckoned: “Come here, wipe your body down.”

Conditions on the ship were limited, so long as you had a bucket of hot water you should be grateful so don’t even think about taking a bath or something.

Nie Bufan got up lazily and undressed as he walked over.

Fan Luo didn’t evade this time, staring at his every move.

Nie Bufan never knew what embarrassment was. In just a few flicks he had taken everything off, leaving only his underwear. He squatted by the bucket and asked, “Wanna wipe together?”

Fan Luo’s gaze slid along the back of his neck, and finally turned back to his face, saying calmly: “No need, you wipe yourself.”

Nie Bufan then plunged his hand into the water, grasping the bath towel and wiping his arms. He then bent down, directly dipping his head in the water, bubbles emerging on the surface. Then a few chickens approached, and following Nie Bufan’s lead they also dipped their heads in the water and bubbled together.

Fan Luo’s mouth twitched when he saw this, and he didn’t know what expression to use to decode his feelings.

With a splash, Nie Bufan raised his head, the little chickens also raising their heads as well. The water splashed all over, the droplets gleaming, and the style of both person and chicken was very “moist”. The person shook his hair and the chickens shook their feathers, their movements exceptionally in sync.

“En, feels good.” Nie Bufan wiped a handful of water and squinted his eyes contentedly.

A several chickens also seemed to feel good, and one even wanted to jump into the bucket for a bath.

Fan Luo had a stiff face. He pulled all the chickens away, snatched the bath towel from Nie Bufan’s hand, and said stiffly: “I’ll help you wipe. With your way of playing, the water will soon be cold.”

“Oh.” Nie Bufan did not object, obediently following the other’s commands.

Fan Luo had him stand up while he carefully wiped his face, neck, chest and abdomen, arms, and back with the bath towel…..

Staring at his half-naked body, various discordant images appeared in Fan Luo’s mind, and the movements of his hands became slower and slower.

Nie Bufan felt his hand stop on his back waist, and couldn’t help asking in puzzlement, “Should I take off my pants?”

Hearing that, Fan Luo’s half-closed eyes showed a bit of wickedness, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly. He said in a low voice: “Of course, it is easier to wipe if you take it off.”

“All right.” Nie Bufan stretched out his hand to untie the strings, Fan Luo grabbed him, and whispered in his ear: “Are you this defenseless with anyone?”

“What is there to guard against?” Nie Bufan looked at him and said, “You have also seen that I am bare and penniless. What is there to guard?”

Fan Luo looked at him deeply and said, “I am a man.”

“I know, you don’t need to emphasize it.” Nie Bufan pointed at himself and said with a smile, “I am also a man. The real deal, neither the old nor the young will be cheated.”

“It is said that a relationship between men and men…..” Fan Luo said word by word, “is also possible.”

Nie Bufan stared at him strangely, and looked down at the space between his legs subconsciously.

Fan Luo threw away the bath towel and directly embraced him into his arms, letting the other directly feel the changes that had overcome his body.

“How is it?” Fan Luo placed one hand on his hip and raised the other’s chin using the other. He bowed his head slightly, and the hair on his forehead fell forward gently, slipping across the ends of his charming eyes.

Nie Bufan ignored his electric shooting eyes and stepped on the other’s instep with his bare foot, saying contemptuously: “It’s not right to go into heat wherever you are. Lord Teacher of the State is already at this age but why haven’t you learned how to cultivate your moral character?”

Fan Luo smiled wickedly: “I’m just using methods in line with local circumstances, nurturing my spiritual harmony and letting my desires grow naturally.”

Nie Bufan leaned back and looked at him incredulously.

“Did you eat fully during lunch?” Fan Luo asked suddenly.

“Full.” Nie Bufan nodded subconsciously.

“That’s good, you should have enough physical strength then.”

“What?” Nie Bufan had yet to react, when his field of vision shifted, and the next moment he was pressed down on the bed.

“Wait!” There seemed to be something wrong here.

Fan Luo didn’t give him time to resist, and he directly kissed him on the lips. He had been thinking about it for a long time, and after crossing that layer of barrier in his heart, he was even more eager and impatient. People who were cold outside and hot inside were indeed extremely passionate once their emotions and desires were aroused.

The reason why Fan Luo was so erudite and learned was because he possessed a highly retentive memory. Even though he had only seen it once, he would be able to remember every detail of the pictures in the homoerotic book clearly. Even if he had only learned and was just putting it into use now, he could still do it incomparably well.

Nie Bufan’s treacherous suggestion at the beginning was now being practiced on himself. It was truly a case of reaping what you sowed.  But strictly speaking, he was probably the only person in this world who had the physique that could attract “bromance” anytime, anywhere. Could it be because he had raised too many chickens that even the heavens were dissatisfied?

Fan Luo was very attentive and kept stroking his tongue with his fingers, so that the other had no chance to call out.

“Mmh…..ngh…..” Nie Bufan glared, unable to bite, his jaw almost went stiff from being kept open. There were people coming and going outside the cabin door, and so long as he shouted out, someone would hear it, but unfortunately he could only groan slightly now.

Slanting his eyes, he glanced over to ask for help from the chickens, only to find out that these guys were just watching calmly with no intention of saving him from his plight. They were probably no longer surprised at this occurrence, so at this time, they all had the awareness to just remain silent.

Nie Bufan wanted to cry but he was without tears, and secretly scolded these guys for being disloyal.

At this moment, a loud eagle call came from outside the cabin.

Nie Bufan’s eyes lit up, and he struggled even harder. This struggle caused Fan Luo’s breathing to come more rapidly, his desires rising as well. Taking advantage of Nie Bufan’s distraction, he suddenly entered. At the moment he entered, he leaned down and accurately covered the other’s lips with his own.

So tight! Fan Luo let out a sigh of wonder and began to thrust in and out, gradually increasing his intensity.

Nie Bufan was indignant. Listening to the calls of Big Weapon, his hands frantically scratched Fan Luo’s back, marking out a crisscross pattern.

Fan Luo just frowned slightly, and said in a low voice while moving, “Don’t refuse me, Xiaobao, give me a chance to have you.”

Nie Bufan stopped struggling and looked at him seriously.

He had seen this look in the eyes of Zhang Third and the others. It was the thing most worthy of being treasured in his life, completely irreplaceable.

However, for this kind of look, while the morals could be lost, the nature could not be altered.

“Ai!” Fan Luo cried out in pain, covering his forehead.

It turned out that Nie Bufan took advantage of his distraction and dragged over a random unlucky chicken. Then without any hesitation, he used the chicken feet to poke a mark on the other’s forehead.

The chicken used as a murder weapon was very irritable, flapping its wings, and leaving various twisted blood marks on Fan Luo’s arm.

Seeing that the situation was going well, Nie Bufan greeted: “Guys, come on! Gang fight!”

After getting the order, the other chickens all became excited, screeching as they charged over to surround Fan Luo where they then proceeded to kick and peck wildly.

Fan Luo was forced to retreat, and while defending himself, he could only lament at his sexual dissatisfaction. In truth, he should be counting his lucky stars as the fighting power of these chickens could only be considered average.

Nie Bufan was able to get out of the evil clutches. He put on his clothes and rushed towards the door.

Fan Luo reacted quickly, grabbed a chicken leg and swished the chicken at Nie Bufan. The chicken that was thrown out quickly passed Nie Bufan and made a somersault in the air, its chicken feet stepping on the door that had just opened right at the perfect time and slamming it back close again.

The chicken then landed in Nie Bufan’s arms from the force. Nie Bufan took a few steps back, grabbed it, and continued to open the door. But as soon as his hand touched the doorknob, another object flew behind him and inserted itself into the gap of the door——which happened to be a dagger.

Nie Bufan turned around and glared at Fan Luo. Fan Luo was struggling to fight the chickens while covering his lower half, and at the same time he had to also pay attention to Nie Bufan’s movements. It could be said that his image was completely lost, looking to be in a very embarrassed state indeed.

Nie Bufan ran back to the bed aggressively, stepped one foot on the bed, and reached out to hug Fan Luo’s head, giving him a deep kiss domineeringly.

Fan Luo was stunned. Just as he was in a daze, he suddenly felt cold air on his lower half, the blanket that had originally covered his body was taken away.

Nie Bufan stretched out his hand, grabbed the erect thing in between his legs, and rubbed it hard. Fan Luo let out a grunt, bending over. Even if one could not see his expression, one could still imagine how tragic it was.

“Hmmph, small fry, am I so easy to be pushed down?” Nie Bufan left this remark condescendingly, and then walked out of the cabin leisurely.

Big Weapon had hovered in the air for a long time and was very impatient. Seeing Nie Bufan appear, it immediately dove down, deliberately creating a turbulent flow around it, and then it landed on a support beam unhappily.

As Nie Bufan untied the letter from its legs, he muttered in a dissatisfied manner: “Big Weapon, you are too lazy, i just asked you to send a letter, yet you give me the stink face. How will you be able to take on greater responsibility in the future?”

Big Weapon glanced at him contemptuously, the meaning clearly conveying: You actually have the nerve to complain about others!

Nie Bufan unfolded the letter and struggled to identify the text.

At this moment, a hand stretched out from behind and took away the letter in his hand.

Nie Bufan looked back and found that it was Fan Luo who was now neatly dressed but his expression was dark.

He actually recovered so quickly? The word “admiration” flashed on Nie Bufan’s face.

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

Fan Luo tried his best to ignore that shiny expression, read the letter at a glance, looked up and asked, “Do you know Tai Bai from Qiyu Island?”

Nie Bufan nodded.

“Then the matter is much simpler now.” Fan Luo folded the letter and said lightly, “With this letter, we can land in Jingyang Port ahead of time.”

“Wei Book Attendant, what are you looking for?” The eunuch saw that Nie Bufan had been tossing around in the bedroom since he got up, now even crawling under the bed, and finally couldn’t help asking.

Nie Bufan did not answer. He stood up and paced back and forth in the bedroom, his expression conflicted.

At this time, a series of greetings came from outside the door, and Emperor Ming strode in.

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

As soon as Nie Bufan saw him, he rushed over and ran his hands all over the other.

“Hehe, Xiaobao, why are you so passionate today?” Emperor Ming embraced him into his arms, a smile on his face.

Nie Bufan stared at him for a long while, and asked seriously, “Where is my tablet?”

“What tablet?” Emperor Ming raised his eyebrows.

“Imperial order tablet,” Nie Bufan said in puzzlement, “It was still there yesterday, but when I woke up it disappeared.”

“Oh?” Emperor Ming said solemnly, “Who is so bold as to dare stealing your imperial order tablet!”

Nie Bufan secretly looked at him contemptuously: Just pretend! In your territory, who dares to move your things?

Taking a few steps back, Nie Bufan said gloomily, “Your Majesty, secretly taking back what you had already rewarded out, isn’t it a bit stingy?”

“What is Xiaobao saying? How could Zhen do this kind of thing?” Emperor Ming refused to admit it, “If it wasn’t stolen, then you must have accidentally dropped it somewhere. Later Zhen will help you look for it, and if it is found, Zhen will give it to you.”

Nie Bufan said: “What if you can’t find it?”

“Zhen will find it.” Emperor Ming patted his head comfortingly.

“Then what should I do if I want to go out of the palace now?” He asked again.

“You just came back and yet you want to leave the palace again?” Emperor Ming asked calmly, “Is it that fun outside the palace?”

“Of course.” Nie Bufan nodded affirmatively.

Emperor Ming paused and said, “Fine, in a few days, I will personally take you out of the palace to play.”

Listening to his words, clearly he didn’t want to return the imperial order to him, but just because the other won’t hand it over, couldn’t he take it himself?

Thinking of this, Nie Bufan settled down.

He placed a hand on Emperor Ming’s shoulder and said with a serious face: “Your Majesty, you are the monarch of a country. Please do not neglect the affairs of the country because of Xiaobao. On the matter of going out of the palace, I can handle it myself.”

Emperor Ming didn’t expect that Nie Bufan’s so-called “handling it himself” would be to just run away.

He didn’t realize how powerful a certain someone’s fighter chickens were. Even the heavy guards and security outside the treasury could not stop them from spreading misfortune, let alone stealing a mere tablet. Not long into the future, the emperor might really find that quite a number of treasures suddenly and magically became missing from the treasury…..

The next day, Nie Bufan successfully got the imperial order tablet that Wukong had stolen from the imperial study. He immediately had Big Weapon send a letter to Zhang Junshi. The letter had a twisted carriage drawn on it and attached with the time and meeting place. The meaning was obvious, that was to alert Zhang Junshi to prepare the carriage before then. This time Nie Bufan was really burning his boats and stake it all on one throw.

Very quickly, Zhang Junshi sent a reply back. He drew a ship on the letter and there was a clear mark on the ship. The time did not change but the agreed place was changed to a water port outside the city.

Feeling that the time was right, Nie Bufan took advantage of Emperor Ming busy attending the morning assembly, and holding the imperial order tablet in his hand, he left the palace in a confident swagger.

After leaving, he did not immediately rush to the agreed place, but first made a detour into a hidden and out of the way alley. After a while, a scream echoed from the alley, followed by the sound of various flapping wings.

When everything settled again, Nie Bufan calmly stepped out of the alley and walked towards the water port in a new set of clothes and a bamboo hat.

Deep in the alley, a hidden guard was lying on the ground, his clothes torn, and his body covered with traces of being ravaged…..

There were dozens of merchant ships and cargo ships docked by the water port.

Nie Bufan carefully identified the marks on each ship and determined his target in a short time. It was a small cargo ship, the bow was shaped like a beak, the hull was painted in black, and the interior was mainly red and yellow. From just the appearance, it was no different from the other ships.

Nie Bufan followed the porter onto the ship and looked around, but no familiar figures were found. He secretly wondered, with Zhang Junshi’s character, even if he couldn’t meet him in person, he would have sent someone to make contact with him.

He slipped into the cabin and checked the rooms one by one. At this time, most of the ship crew were busy on the deck, and no one paid attention to the movements of this outsider.

Nie Bufan searched to no avail, so he put his mind at ease and randomly found a cabin to stay in. Anyway, he had already boarded the ship so he just needed to wait for Zhang Third’s people to come find him.

Not for long, there was a shout from outside, and then the hull shook slightly, as if the ship was about to sail off.

Nie Bufan looked out through the small window. As the ship sailed farther away, the figures on the shore became blurred. This river was not the main river and only small boats could pass through, but after entering the main river, the field of vision became wider.

Nie Bufan threw the little monkey into the air a few times, his face full of excitement——he was finally going back to the village!

But he didn’t know that this ship was actually not the one that Zhang Junshi had prepared for him at all. The two ships had similar marks but completely different destinations.

On the other side, Zhang Junshi had been waiting patiently on the ship the whole time, but it was already the afternoon and still there was no one in sight. Knowing that something must have gone wrong, he sent someone to investigate the matter, but learned that the emperor had sent a large number of guards out of the palace to find a certain person. It could be seen that a certain someone had indeed successfully left the palace, but just where did the other end up going? Could it be that he got lost?

Zhang Junshi looked up, and found no sign of Big Weapon’s bird shadow. The other chickens seemed to have also disappeared collectively. Not even a feather could be found. Truly, it was only when it came time to use a chicken that you regret there being no chickens in sight! (TN: from proverb ‘It is only when it comes time to apply knowledge that you regret not acquiring enough of it’)

In the evening, he finally gave up and confirmed with great pain that a certain someone had pulled another stunt on them. Must they tie him with a rope to ensure peace in the world?

Several miserable and suffering gongs gathered together again, exchanging looks with tear streaked faces.

After Emperor Ming learned that Nie Bufan had run away, he immediately thought of Fan Luo, but the messenger who had been sent out to relay his summon came back to tell him, the Teacher of the State was also missing.

Missing? Emperor Ming’s face darkened, and he thought to himself: Did they elope?

Thinking of this possibility, he couldn’t help flying into a rage!

That guy first stole the imperial order tablet without anyone knowing it, and then convinced Fan Luo to elope with him? And Fan Luo was also actually willing to give up his identity and status for him?

Emperor Ming’s face became sullen and he clenched his fists tightly, trying his best to deny his conjecture.

He sent a large number of guards to start a search over the imperial city. Since he dared to escape under his nose, then he must have the awareness of being imprisoned for life!

In truth, Fan Luo’s departure was accidental. He was originally accompanying the envoys in touring Yan Shun City. When the procession walked all the way to the water port he inadvertently discovered a familiar figure. Although the other was wearing a hat, he recognized him at a glance.

Seeing him get on the ship, Fan Luo didn’t even think about it. He found an excuse to leave, and quickly walked towards the ship.

This was a private cargo ship, and outsiders were not allowed to enter. However, Fan Luo knew who the owner of the ship was when he looked at the mark on the ship. He took out his identity seal, gave a tip and got on the ship without any problems.

At this time, Nie Bufan was lying on the bed and playing tug-of-war with Wukong using his fingers. There was a group of chickens around him, mainly flying chickens and water chickens. The other land chickens found another way back to the village.

Wukong pulled the rope back desperately. Nie Bufan supported his head with one hand and held the rope with the other, remaining completely unmovable.

Finally, Wukong lay down in exhaustion.

“Hahaha.” Nie Bufan raised his head and laughed aluf three times, saying proudly, “Small fry, let’s practice for a few more years before you compare with this village head!”

You just won a tug-of-war with a little monkey that was barely as big as your palm. What was there to l be proud of!

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and before Nie Bufan could respond, the person outside had already opened the door and entered.

“Huh? Teacher of the State?” Nie Bufan widened his eyes and pointed at him, “Why are you here?”

“I should be asking you.” Fan Luo closed the door and walked slowly to the bed, looking down at him from his height, “Where do you want to go?”

“Of course it’s home.” Nie Bufan answered without hesitation.

“Go home?” Fan Luo raised his eyebrows, “Do you know people from Qiyu Island?”

“Qiyu Island?” Nie Bufan looked blank, the place name seemed familiar.

Fan Luo asked strangely: “You don’t know Qiyu Island? Then why did you get on their ship?”

“Huh?” Nie Bufan was surprised, “This ship belongs to Qiyu Island?”

He remembered that Tai Bai once said that he was the young island master of Qiyu Island. Did Zhang Third and Tai Bai conspire together?

Fan Luo nodded and asked, “Where is your hometown? Is it Qiyu Island?”

Even though he asked this, he didn’t believe that Nie Bufan was from Qiyu Island. The people of Qiyu Island were quite easy to identify, their skin was darker, their clothes were quite exotic, they were very talented in the water, and they carried the scent of seawater on their bodies.

Nie Bufan shook his head and replied with a smile: “I live in a small city in the southeast.”

“Southeast?” Fan Luo calmly said, “This ship is sailing toward the southwest. After entering the main river, it will meet up with the main ship, and then go down the current and straight out into the sea.”

“Straight out into the sea?” Nie Bufan sat up abruptly, knocking the little monkey who was climbing on him onto its back.

“Didn’t you know in advance?” Fan Luo stared at him with his hand casually held behind his back.

Nie Bufan looked up at the sky, pondered for a moment, then hugged Fan Luo’s waist, saying with an ingratiating smile: “Teacher of the State, how about accompanying me to play on the island for a few days?”

Fan Luo remained unmoved, and said mildly: “Since you snuck out of the palace, the emperor will definitely be angry. How do you want me to explain to him?”

“Explain what?” Nie Bufan smiled brightly, “We declared that we were in love not long ago, and now we went missing together. With the emperor’s IQ, how can he not guess that we have something fishy going on? Just send him a celebratory card informing him of our lifelong marriage, and let him know that the situation is set and can no longer be changed, and thus he should give up on any bromantic ideas. Then everyone will be overjoyed.”

Are you sure that you are not adding fuel to the fire and offending him to death?

Fan Luo was speechless.

“Anyway, I won’t go back to the palace.” Nie Bufan chuckled, “If you disagree, or tattle to him in secret, I will snatch you back to be my robber den wife, and have you painfully lose your ‘chastity’, with nowhere to find justice.”

Fan Luo looked at him silently, and suddenly felt like he was on a thief ship.

Nie Bufan threw his arms around his shoulders and continued: “Don’t worry, as long as you cooperate obediently, I won’t do anything to you, and I also promise that you will eventually be able to successfully retreat with merit and will never be forgotten in your eternal glory.”

The last phrase was unnecessary, thank you.

Fan Luo’s eyes flashed slightly, and he stretched out his hand to support the other’s waist, saying in a low voice: “Actually, I want to see how you plan to have me painfully lose my chastity, and retreat successfully as a ‘gong’.” (TN: 功 (merit) and 攻 (attack, gong) are both pronounced as gong)

Since leaving the palace that day, he had been unable to stop the desire that had sprouted in his heart, and even had a spring dream (TN: wet dream). In his dream, the other was peerlessly alluring and enchanting. He wanted nothing more than to possess him, and his mind automatically recalled the images he had seen in the homoerotic book. Every posture, and every expression had him charmed and caused jim to lose himself.

Fan Luo understood that he really had fallen for him. But he belonged to the emperor, living deep in the palace and beyond his reach.

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

Now it was different. He had escaped from the palace and happened to be seen by him. Was this not the opportunity the heavens gave him?

Fan Luo didn’t worry about the emperor’s anger implicating his family. With his understanding of the emperor, he would never disregard the overall situation because of petty emotions.

He could only say sorry to the emperor, he was about to take over possession of this scourge.

After playing in the elegant establishment for a day, Nie Bufan still followed Fan Luo back to the manor. There were still the emperor’s guards in the dark, and Wei Di and the others simply had no chance of snatching away a certain someone.

Nie Bufan sat in the carriage and waved happily at the people who watched him leave. Except for Wei Di’s eyes which were a little scary, the others all smiled back. As for the sadness behind the smile, only they knew…..

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

After spending two days in the Teacher of the State’s manor, taking advantage of Fan Luo’s indulgence, Nie Bufan led his chickens to throw the Teacher of the State’s manot into utter upheaval. The chickens now regarded this place as another of their territories besides the imperial palace and the imperial hunting grounds. In the grass, between the branches, on the corners of the walls, on the eaves, one could stumble upon newly built chicken nests from time to time. The ornamental fish in the pond had also met with great misfortune, practically having been completely wiped out.

If in the past, Fan Luo would have already been unable to tolerate this and would have sent the other packing back to the palace, but after that kiss, some things seemed to have undergone subtle changes, and there was nothing he could do to avoid it.

Until the third day, the emperor finally made an order to ask for a certain someone. He suspected that if he had not made an order, a certain someone would have no intention of going back to the palace at all.

During this period of time, in addition to dealing with state affairs, he had to devote himself to finding and arresting the culprit who used the poison that day. Thanks to Fan Luo and the people from the imperial medical college finding out the source of the poison in time, and thus following the clues, he finally found the man who secretly communicated with Consort Li. The reason for the poisoning was because Emperor Ming ordered to abort the child in Consort Li’s belly. And although he did not execute Consort Li, she was imprisoned forever in the Cold Palace. This incident aroused the resentment of the man who decided to make a desperate and vengeful move, but unfortunately, because Nie Bufan got involved, he not only did not succeed but also did not have another chance at carrying out his poisoning again, eventually reaching a dead end.

Nie Bufan naturally didn’t know the inside story, nor was he interested in knowing it. The darkness in the world was endless, and it was better to be a carefree and foolish person than to live too clearly.

Fan Luo brought Nie Bufan into the palace. The first words from Emperor Ming was to question: “You are really reluctant to return it seems. If Zhen didn’t call for you, wouldn’t you know to return by yourself?”

Nie Bufan ignored his dissatisfaction and said with a smile: “Your Majesty, I heard that you have captured the bad guys brilliantly.”

Emperor Ming made a noncommittal “en” sound.

“In that case, the misunderstanding that came when I was treated as a scapegoat has been thoroughly clarified?” Nie Bufan asked again.

Emperor Ming stared at him: “What do you want to say?”

Nie Bufan smiled brightly: “Since my name has been cleared, should Xiaobao leave the palace too?”

“Leave the palace?” Emperor Ming said with a serious face, “When did I say that when the matter was resolved, Zhen would let you leave the palace? Zhen has decided to officially make you my book attendant.”

Nie Bufan hesitated for a while, and said as if embarrassed: “Your Majesty, Xiaobao wants to explain one thing.”

“What is it?”

“In truth, Xiaobao is just an illiterate little commoner. The high-end position of the book attendant is really not suitable for me. Even if it is given to a eunuch, it is still a bit ‘superfluous’. So I hope that Your Majesty can make the best use of people. The one that should raise chickens should raise chickens, the one that should go out and get fresh air should go out and get fresh air, and each should perform their own duties, in this way the whole world will be at peace.”

The corners of Emperor Ming’s mouth twitched, and he was silent for a while before he said: “Don’t worry, I will definitely ‘make the best use of people’ and you will naturally have your place in the palace. If you like to raise chickens, you can raise chickens. If you want to go out and get fresh air, you can go freely, Zhen will not constrain you too much. “

Nie Bufan looked melancholy, looked at Fan Luo, then at Emperor Ming, suddenly revealing a determined look, he said: “Your Majesty, I have one more thing to explain.”

“Speak.” Why were there so many things to explain? It seemed that giving you a position as book attendant was not any easy thing at all!

Nie Bufan took a deep breath, clutching his chest and said, “Xiaobao has someone I like and plans to put down everything and stay with him forever.”

Emperor Ming’s gaze sharpened, and Fan Luo felt a little nervous inexplicably.

Sure enough, Nie Bufan turned his head and stared at him while saying affectionately: “I and the Teacher of the State have fallen in love with each other, and we have decided in our hearts. We will make our lifelong marriage official when we leave the palace. Your Majesty, what the heart loves is not something we can help, but I hope you can accept us.”

Emperor Ming squinted his eyes, not believing a word of his nonsense. He grew up with Fan Luo and understood Fan Luo’s personality too well. How could a person who was cold and abstinent have his heart easily affected? At the beginning, when he gave him a honoerotic book, it was more out of teasing, and he didn’t really think the other liked men. With Fan Luo’s self-possessed character, he would never take that step.

Fan Luo looked sideways at Nie Bufan. This guy said before that he was going to use him as a scapegoat. He really did what he said, and let him take the blame completely.

“Teacher of the State, what do you say?” Emperor Ming asked casually.

Unexpectedly, Fan Luo gave him an unexpected answer: “Just as Xiaobao said, this official was indeed moved by him. If Your Majesty can accept us, this official is willing to resign as the Teacher of the State immediately and take seclusion from the secular world from now on.”

Emperor Ming looked at him incredulously, while Nie Bufan gave him a “very pleased” look.

The room fell into silence. Emperor Ming looked at the two quietly and saw that they were looking at each other, it seemed that there was a real adulterous relationship here.

He snorted: “How do you intend to make Zhen believe in your relationship? Just with a few empty words?”

In truth, with his identity, he didn’t need to care much about scruples at all. No one could take away what he wanted. But Fan Luo was his confidant, and the person he trusted most. If he had fallen for another, even one of his harem concubines, he would not mind doing a favor and give that person to him.

Only Xiaobao, he could not bear giving away. He wanted to see if the two of them were faking it or were truly in love.

“Then according to Your Majesty’s opinion what should be done?” Fan Luo asked.

“Zhen will give you a chance, to make love in the palace.” Emperor Ming said with some bad intentions.

The Teacher of the State was surprised: “What?”

Emperor Ming added: “In front of Zhen.”

Nie Bufan immediately said: “Your Majesty, how can such a shy person like the Teacher of the State do it in front of you?”

This was not the point, right? Fan Luo looked at him with conflicted feelings.

“Oh?” Emperor Ming said lightly, “You mean, you can do it without being in front of Zhen?”

“Why not?” Nie Bufan replied frankly.

Fan Luo had the urge to cover his face, and he wanted nothing more than to pry open this guy’s head to see if it contained something that normal humans could not understand.

“Fine.” Emperor Ming restrained himself and said loudly, “Come in, prepare to go to Guangyan Hall.”

The group of people arrived at Guangyan Hall in a weird atmosphere.

Emperor Ming lifted his chin and gestured at the big bed in the hall, and said, “How about here?”

Fan Luo was expressionless, but Nie Bufan looked around with interest, then nodded and said, “Yes.”

“Then it’s up to you.” Emperor Ming said gloomily, “Don’t let me down.”

After speaking, he simply flicked his sleeves and left.

Nie Bufan jumped on the bed and rolled a few times. He tilted his head to look at the Teacher of the State who had stiffened like a block of wood, patted the bed and said, “Come here.”

Fan Luo walked over mechanically and sat in a precarious manner.

Nie Bufan approached him and asked in a low voice, “Guess which corner the emperor would hide in to peek at us?”

This was really a test for the IQ.

Fan Luo sighed, looked at him and asked, “Why did you agree to the emperor’s proposal?”

“Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain, and breaking it off as soon as possible will avoid future troubles.”

He felt that this would cause more future troubles. Fan Luo looked up at the sky speechlessly.

At this moment, the sound of rubbing clothes suddenly came from behind him. Fan Luo looked back and found that Nie Bufan was already beginning to undress.

“You…..” He wouldn’t really, right?

“The play must be acted realistically, and we can’t let the emperor laugh at us.” Nie Bufan said while taking off his clothes, “Don’t sit stupidly, move faster.”

Fan Luo hesitantly stretched his hand to his belt, his heart beating irregularly.

Suddenly, a heavy weight landed on his back, Nie Bufan leaned very close to him and whispered in his ear: “I’ll help you.”

After pushing him down, Nie Bufan, who was only dressed in a single under robe, stretched out his unruly thievish hands and began to commit some inhuman acts.

Fan Luo’s official robes were quickly torn apart, exposing large areas of skin. His long hair spread out on the bed sheets, eyes alluring and lips tempting, looking as beautiful as a delicate red rose.

However, village head Nie’s aesthetics had always been bizarre, and no matter how beautiful people were, in his eyes they were no different from other animals. He upheld the concept of treating beauty as emptiness. He said very sincerely: “Teacher of the State, I’m going to eat now, bear with me.”

Was he treating him as a feast of human flesh? Fan Luo felt conflicted in his heart, but his body did not reject the other’s touch.

Nie Bufan leaned down and slowly approached, his long hair falling forward, tickling like feathers. Fan Luo’s eyes were condensed with moisture, his gaze focused on the other’s every move.

Suddenly, he lifted the quilt and covered the two of them.

Nie Bufan only felt his vision darken, then he was hugged hard by another body, his lips pressed against another’s, their tongues dancing.

In the quilt, the air was thin and the breaths they exhaled were burning hot. Their skin rubbed against each other, and the sound of their heartbeat seemed to be amplified, the world becoming very small and narrow.

At this moment, there was the sound of heavy footsteps, coming from far to near. Fan Luo understood in his heart, and reluctantly let go of Nie Bufan’s lips.

Immediately, the quilt was suddenly lifted, and Emperor Ming’s gloomy and black face appeared in front of the two of them.

Nie Bufan’s red lips were slightly swollen, his eyes misted over, and he looked like he was inviting someone to have their way with him.

Emperor Ming was angry, and without even looking at Fan Luo, he picked up Nie Bufan and charged out of Guangyan Hall.

Fan Luo stared at their backs motionlessly, his eyes melancholy and deep.

Emperor Ming threw Nie Bufan on the dragon bed and said angrily: “You really dared to do it!”

Nie Bufan tugged at the quilt and muttered, “Wasn’t it yet to be done?”

“What did you say?” Emperor Ming pressed him down, and said sinisterly, “Wei Xiaobao, you better remember that from now on you can only be my person, and you are not allowed to attract bees and butterflies again.”

“In what way did I attract bees and butterflies?” Nie Bufan resolutely said, “I like the Teacher of the State, why don’t you be benevolent and give me a chance to be with one person until the end?”

Emperor Ming gritted his teeth: “In what way does Zhen fail to compare with the Teacher of the State? What do you like about him?”

“He is as beautiful as a flower.” Nie Bufan answered quickly and clearly.

“…..” Emperor Ming had nothing to say to that. He was indeed inferior to the other when just speaking of appearance alone. Everyone had the love of beauty, and this reason was a very powerful one.

“There are so many beautiful people in the world, will you fall in love with every one of them you see?” Emperor Ming didn’t believe that this guy’s heart could be captured by this alone, he asked again, “In addition to looks, what about him do you also like?”

“Clean-living and honest,” Nie Bufan replied.

“…..” Instant kill once again. In terms of the most unclean person in the world, the emperor absolutely ranked first, with a harem full of concubines, so long as they had enough physical strength and stamina, no one would even care if they slept with several women in one night. It could be said to be enjoying the blessings of the world’s beauties, ravaging several good cabbages.

Emperor Ming was still unwilling to give up, insisting on finding a reason enough to defeat the other.

He asked again: “In addition to being beautiful and clean, what else do you like about him?”

“Perfectly happy and willing to let me be on top.”

“…..” Fine, if you quibble with him, then you will lose. Emperor Ming was beaten completely and thoroughly.

Nie Bufan stared at him without blinking, as if waiting for him to continue questioning. Obviously, a certain someone had prepared a lot of praise, just waiting to hit them at him at any time.

Emperor Ming finally stopped his masochistic behavior, and decided to turn his grief and anger into strength,  and f*ck him to death!

He lifted his robes and directly carried the knife into battle, without giving Nie Bufan a chance to resist, he thrusted all the way to the bottom.

Emperor Ming said hoarsely: “Xiaobao, stay with me, I will always love you.”

“No, don’t want…..” Nie Bufan struggled.

“You can’t not want it,” Emperor Ming moved more aggressively and said forcefully, “No one in the world dares to disobey my orders.”

Nie Bufan opened his mouth and bit at one of Emperor Ming’s nipples.

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

“Ah, damn it.” Emperor Ming cried out in pain. He pinched his chin and fiercely blocked his lips. His other hand lifted the other’s leg high, and began to piston in and out hard, completely possessing him.

“Ngh…..ah…..”

In the huge bedroom, there were intermittent moans and gasps, and the bed curtains would occasionally flick lightly, unable to fully hide the spring scenery within..…
