Chapter Forty-Seven Sleeping Together

  When we returned to the hotel, it was already dark. I stopped the car at the entrance and Xiao Qian ran out first. She stood on the steps, blinking her eyes as she looked at me, and only asked cautiously after I got off the car: "Xiao Long Ge, did you bring back...the thing?"

  I deliberately rushed towards her with both hands empty, and Xiao Qian covered her mouth in surprise, saying: "What's going on?"

  I burst out laughing and said, "What do you think?" As I spoke, I opened the passenger door and revealed that cloth bag...

  Xiao Qian was overjoyed and flew quickly towards me.

  Just then, Su Jing, who had just gotten off the bus, suddenly waved his hand and shouted loudly: "Don't come over!"

  "What's wrong?"

  Su Jing's eyes swept coldly around her surroundings, and she raised her voice: "Come out!"

  Xiao Qian asked strangely, "Sister Su, who are you talking about?" At this time, Old Wu and Jin Chengwu also came out of the door. Su Jing signaled them to stay in place and shouted into the darkness, "Are you all waiting for me to invite you personally?"

  I also feel inexplicable, these four weeks are all desolate beaches, where is anyone?

  However, from the darkness, someone suddenly replied in a low voice: "The Sword God is indeed the Sword God. Our brothers' efforts to hide were not enough to deceive you." As soon as the words fell, two shadows rose up on either side of us, forming an encirclement.

  Duan Tianya also got off the bus, he listened carefully and suddenly exclaimed with joy: "Is that you, Chou Tianren? You've come too?"

  The other party, however, did not pay attention to him and said in a low voice: "Su Jian Shen, the grudges between your Federal Continent and Hei Jisi Continent are originally your own business. Why bother to come all the way to make things difficult for that friend of yours? Even if he was really the Sword God in his past life, it has nothing to do with him this life. You've made us have no choice but to kill him. Do you think he's being wronged?"

  As soon as I heard this, I felt a sense of familiarity. Among the people from that mysterious continent, there are not many who understand me... I couldn't help but take a step forward and say loudly: "Brother, you're just like my own brother! You've hit the nail on the head, please go back and tell your boss this message: as long as you don't bother me, I won't go provoke you. As long as you agree to this, I swear I will never go back with that little girl surnamed Su."

  The voice opposite immediately said: "Good, we promise you..."

  Just then, Su Jing Meng suddenly pulled me: "Get out of the way!" Her hand swung in mid-air, and a chopstick-sized object was shot up into the sky, shooting straight out. Only afterwards did I hear a mechanical sound coming from the opposite side: "Pa——" It can be seen that this thing is extremely fast.

  The person opposite suddenly shouted: "Release!"

  Three loud slaps later, three hidden weapons shot out from the three sides, all heading straight for my face. Su Jing held her breath and focused, either brushing or flicking them away, never letting them get within a foot of me.

  Before I could catch my breath, the opposite side shouted again: "Upper row, crossbow!"

  Before he finished speaking, the other two had already set up their crossbows and, together with the one who shouted, shot countless arrows over in an instant, like a rain of arrows. The coordination between these three people was really wonderful to the extreme.

  Su Jing stood in front of me, her right hand suddenly jerking upwards like pulling a curtain, and the sword energy surged forth. All I heard was a series of loud cracking sounds, and those crossbow arrows fell to the ground half a meter away from us. She stood with her hands hanging down, staring intently at the opposite side. From my perspective, I could see tiny beads of sweat appearing on the back of her pale neck. I thought it would be easy for Su Jing to dodge or shake off those crossbow arrows, but because she wanted to protect me, she was still tense.

  A vague and inexplicable emotion suddenly arose in my heart: being protected everywhere by a girl, feeling somewhat stifled, somewhat ashamed, somewhat irritated and angry due to male chauvinism, and a hint of sympathy...

  I burst into anger: "You said you wouldn't hit me, why are you deceiving me?" It seems that he was saying those things just to distract my attention and then take advantage of the situation.

  Duan Tianya was also dissatisfied with me. Three crossbow bolts shot over together, and several of them were shot at him. Fortunately, Duan Tianya's waist was injured, but his hands didn't lose their skill, catching some and blocking others, barely avoiding being riddled with holes. Duan Tianya angrily said: "Fool! How can you use crossbows against someone like Su Jing? What did I teach you before?" He suddenly changed the subject and said: "Besides, don't you see that I'm also here?"

  The man opposite sneered and said, "Duan Tianya, you can't blame us for this. The first rule of the Three Color Stone Society clearly states that once you become a prisoner of the enemy, you automatically leave the organization. You are no longer our captain!"

  Duan Tianya shouted wildly: "Bullshit, I'm not a prisoner of war. Chou Tianren, you little man, are clearly eyeing my position as captain."

  Choutuian Heng remained silent, then turned to me and said: "Sword God brother, it's not that I don't trust you as a brother, but before we set out, I received a death order. I must take your head."

  "You bunch of bastards, wait for me! I'll go back and beat you all to the point where you can't take care of yourselves!"

  "Then we must kill you." He waved his hand and shouted at the two accomplices, "Take action!"

  In an instant, three people with six hands wildly threw all sorts of things at me, including flying stones, darts, sleeve arrows, and short crossbow bolts. The dark projectiles rained down on me like a storm, but Su Jing blocked them all like a windshield wiper, left and right. I hid behind her, and amidst the deafening noise that sounded like rain pounding on banana leaves, I said: "Don't you have a better way to do this?"

  Jin Chengwu finally noticed something was off, he took off his right glove and threw it to the ground, standing in front of me and Su Jing in the midst of the heavy rain, raising his palm towards the sky. The dark projectiles hadn't even landed yet when they melted away like snowflakes in boiling water amidst the intense flames on his hand.

  Xiao Qian also rebuked: "Don't hurt my little dragon brother." She floated towards the position of those killers, Su Jingdao said: "Xiao Qian, be careful!"

  A crossbow arrow was flying straight towards Xiao Qian's right cheek, just as it was about to hit her and she couldn't dodge in time, Xiao Qian suddenly took a deep breath, and her right cheek sank down like a deflated balloon, the arrow grazing her jawline before turning into a wisp of smoke beside Jin Chengwu.

  Xiao Qian originally had no bones or frame, her body was entirely supported by a gust of wind, so she could shrink and expand at will. Chou Tian Blade took one look and was shocked out of his wits, shouting loudly: "Retreat!"

  Three people fled in three different directions, but suddenly someone shouted: "Want to run? It's not that easy - Hummer Two Generals, draw your swords!" Liu Old Six rode on a vegetable knife and rushed towards Avenging Heaven Blade like lightning.

  Su Jiong let out a slight sigh of relief and said to Jin Chengwu: "Thank you."

  Jin Chengwu smiled and said, "It's just a small effort."

  I looked at Xiaoxian's face and said: "Are you okay? - These bastards are too evil, they actually molested you."

  Before long, Liu Lao Liu also wandered back, we knew that his kitchen knife could only fly 35 meters...

  I pulled Su Jingdao: "Why don't you go after her?"

  Su Jingdao said: "I'm worried..."

  She hadn't finished speaking when we heard a dull "thud" from the car beside us. Su Jing's face changed, and Jin Chengwu shouted: "There's someone under the car!" He immediately bent down to check, but except for a small hole that could barely fit one person, there was nothing else. Su Jing let out a sigh and said: "I was afraid that as soon as I left you, Lu Renjia would take advantage of the opportunity. It seems he really did think so." Lu Renjia's first strike had failed, and it seemed he had already escaped through the underground passage.

  ……

  After everyone narrowly escaped the attack and was on high alert for a while, they finally confirmed that it was safe. Old Wu stared blankly for a moment before asking, "What kind of people are these?"

  "It's hard to say!" I told Old Wu in detail what happened after I met Li Bao today, and he clicked his tongue: "So it seems that the people who tried to assassinate you are not just one group."

  It wasn't until now that I remembered Duan Tianya, and I turned around to glare at him: "How many people did you guys send to kill me?"

  Duan Tianya lowered his head and said: "In short, it won't be a batch, I don't know the exact number either, even if I knew, I couldn't tell you."

  "Pfft!" I said: "Nobody recognizes you as their captain anymore, yet you're still sacrificing yourself for them."

  Duan Tianya gritted his teeth and said, "Qiu Tian Reng, this ungrateful person, I cultivated him with all my heart, but he actually kicked me when I was down."

  Liu Lao Liu said: "Once you're a captive, you automatically leave the organization - what are you people doing, running a pyramid scheme?"

  Duan Tianya angrily said: "I told you I'm not your prisoner!"

  "I was puzzled and said: 'Then what are you? You came after I invited you?'"

  "I was just careless for a moment and continued to stay by the target's side looking for an opportunity."

  "You little scoundrel, you're still not dead yet!"

  "Come on!" Duan Tianya said with a jerk of his neck.

  I jumped back: "What are you doing?"

  "Kill me and you won't have to worry about me killing you later!"

  I gloomily asked: "Are you a rolling knife?"

  Duan Tianya closed his eyes and said, "Why haven't you made a move yet?"

  "I'm damned if I spent a fortune on your medical treatment just to have you killed!"

  "Are you trying to curry favor and trick me into revealing information?"

  Su Jingdao said, "Do you think your valuable intelligence is worth it? The Three-Colored Stone has already accepted the mission to assassinate the Sword God on the mainland, and it's probably not a secret anymore. If we can go back, you won't be able to escape this debt; if we can't go back, then it doesn't matter anyway."

  "What...do you want to do?"

  "I spoke with a heavy heart: 'Big brother, my mistake was not being the Sword God in my past life. You see, just a few days ago I was still sitting at home counting my money and drinking tea, but you guys came and have already made me suffer enough. Don't push me further into the abyss of perversion. When your waist is better, you can go wherever you want, okay?' I realized that I am the authentic 'calamity from heaven befalls when sitting at home', ever since that lightning strike, first I received a bunch of demons and monsters, then I was pursued by people, these are just minor issues, now I have another difficult problem, this guy in front of me, if I don't kill him he will kill me. Under normal circumstances with such a proposition, if it were a female assassin it would be easy to handle, she would undoubtedly fall in love with me. But an assassin brother... all I can say is that even if I were gay, seeing how handsome he is would make me want to go back."

  At first, when I reminded him that there was a car behind him on the road, it wasn't necessarily not out of kindness. I always thought that I didn't have much grudge against those mainlanders, and everyone could sit down calmly to find a compromise solution. But I found that I seemed to be wrong, their determination to kill you without reason is absolutely more sincere than my intention to coexist with them peacefully!

  Duan Tianya looked at me and then at Su Jing, suddenly becoming disheartened: "I understand now, you two are both Sword Gods, and fundamentally don't deign to kill someone like me."

  I said, "As long as you don't die, I don't care what you think. If you want to say you're a mushroom, I'll water you every day." This kind of stubborn old man is the most unbearable, and I can only go along with him.

  "Alright, I owe you one, so I'll spare your life for now. But once I'm healed, we're going to have a fair duel. Even if I die by your sword, it will wash away my shame."

  "Hmm..." From what the doctor said, he'll be fully recovered in about a month. But whether I can beat him by then is really uncertain. Su Jing said that Duan Tianya is a top-notch master, but apart from being able to eat instant noodles for a whole month without getting tired of it, I'm not impressive in any other aspect.

  Su Jing said faintly: "There will never be so-called fairness between you two, either you can easily kill him or he can easily kill you."

  Duan Tianya's face turned red as he said, "I didn't think of taking advantage of him. Since Su Jianmo says so, I'll add another condition: when you become a true Sword God, that's when I'll duel with you."

  "I smiled and said with a grin: 'Alright then, it's settled - when I can easily kill you, that's when we'll have our duel.'"

  Liu Laosix sighed: "I found out that Xiaolong is not perfect either."

  "How did you find out?"

  Liu Laoliu didn't pay attention to me, but instead turned his face towards Duan Tiange and said: "You want to compare with Xiaolong in terms of shamelessness? You can die willingly now!"

  I smiled and said: "What if I were to compete with you, Sixth Master?"

  Liu Laosix waved his hand and said, "Talents emerge in every generation, I'm old now. If you insist on comparing, the difference is that if a knife were to stab into your face, it would be stuck, but if a knife were to chop at my face, it would shatter."

  Duan Tianya looked at us with a desperate gaze...

  I lay under the car, using the faint light of my mobile phone to examine it. There was a hole underneath the car, and on the corresponding part of the chassis, there was a shallow dent. Su Jing analyzed: "It's Lu Renjia again. This time, he probably replaced the three-color stone killer to coordinate with his actions. Those three people attracted my attention, while Lu Renjia took advantage of the opportunity to sneak into the car and launch an attack. Perhaps he even wanted to temporarily hide in the car, but didn't expect that the car wasn't a sedan, and the bottom was so hard."

  "How come this old bastard wasn't killed in the accident?"

  Su Jingdao said, "If he wasn't afraid of revealing his sword aura too early, your car would have been pierced through by him. The martial arts of the Xun Di Sect are ordinary and unremarkable, the only remarkable thing about them is that they can escape and flee. As the Grandmaster of the Xun Di Sect who specializes in assassination, it's really a headache."

  I stamped my foot and beat my chest, saying: "Lawless and unscrupulous, is there anyone in charge or not?"

  A soft voice laughed and said: "Who made Little Dragon angry?" The old black mountain demon walked out of the house with a smile.

  As soon as I saw her, I complained: "Where did you go just now?"

  "Hei Shan Lao Yao said: 'Master asked me to do one hour of evening lessons every day, what's wrong?'"

  "What are you doing with your homework so late?" I sighed, and only then took out Xiaoxian's bones from the car: "To confirm again that it's not yours."

  Xiao Qian took a look and smiled: "That's right, thank you Xiao Long Ge." I waved my hand. She saw that I was unhappy and also said gloomily: "If it weren't for me, Xiao Long Ge wouldn't have gotten into so much trouble either."

  I said: "This is not your fault, they came all the way here to kill me, even if they didn't make a move there, they would have made one here, anyway I couldn't avoid it."

  Duan Tianya saw that everyone was staring at him, and calmly said: "It's just that your reputation as a sword god is too great. For one person, the Black Geese Empire didn't dare to send troops recklessly. With this worry not eliminated, how can they feel at ease?"

  "I grumbled and said: 'I'm exhausted, going to bed - Little Qian, you go open a room for him, that's helping me out.'"

  Xiao Qian walked up to Duan Tianya and asked: "Do... you need someone to support you?" Duan Tianya shook his head.

  "Oh, then come with me." Xiao Qian led him into the house.

  Old Wu said: "Girl, also open a room for Xiao Hei."

  "Hei Shan Lao Yao said: 'No need, I'll sleep with Shifu.'"

  "Oh?" We all looked at Old Wu with great interest, even Duan Tianya couldn't help but turn his head to look back...

  "How can this be?" Old Wu was both embarrassed and awkward.

  Hei Shan Lao Yao said, "What's wrong with that? In the past, those literati and scholars weren't always having in-depth conversations, were they? My master and I learning things together, of course it's better to spend more time together."

  I chuckled and said: "You have a good understanding, if you want to learn well, sleep with Master, Xiao Hei thinks highly of you."

  Old Wu stamped his foot and said: "Nonsense!" It's not clear whether he was referring to me or the old black mountain demon. After finishing speaking, he went upstairs alone, which is the first time I've seen him lose his temper since I got to know him.

  Hei Shan Lao Yao said with a hint of grievance: "If I don't sleep, then I won't sleep. Why glare at me..." He could only go find Xiao Qian instead.

  Jin Chengwu and I exchanged a knowing look, "Can you see it? Old Wooden Head is getting nervous."

  "What does that mean?"

  Jin Cheng Wudao: "With his old wooden cultivation, he already has the seven emotions and six desires of a human being. With such a spicy female disciple wanting to sleep with him, it's strange if he doesn't have any evil intentions."

  "Why didn't he just..."

  Jin Chengwu smiled and said, "Don't forget that Lao Mu is an antique of over 2000 years old. Apart from the taboo of not being able to have any physical contact with his disciples, he probably also has a sense of door and family status. After all, Xiao Hei is from a heretical background."

  "What a pity, what a pity... If only I had studied the Tao Te Ching back then."

  Jin Cheng Wudao: "I think Xiao Hei is actually quite simple-minded, she's been in the mountains for so many years and has just taken human form, she doesn't quite understand these subtleties."

  I sighed and said: "The noble lady's temperament is like a loli's soul, still..."

  Su Jing coughed twice beside me and looked up at the stars in the sky. I asked unexpectedly, "Hey, why haven't you gone to sleep yet?"

  "Oh, I'm going then."

  "Let's go up together then." I went upstairs with her, and when we passed by my room, I said to her: "Good night, may your spring dreams be smooth." Without waiting for her to say anything, I closed the door, took off my clothes, and just as I was left with only my underwear, I heard someone knocking on the door. I opened it and saw that Su Jing hadn't left yet.

  I stuck my head out and asked: "Is there anything else?"

  Then Su Jing said something that made me thunderstruck, she said:

  "I'll sleep with you."

  ……

  Division line

  Tomorrow I'll continue updating a big chapter. Don't forget to vote, everyone! Hehe, now that I've said it, I can rest assured... If there's an opportunity, I'll take you all out for a meal. Cough cough.
