Be Passive In The High Martial World

Chapter 121 You make up another five cents (two in one)

"You, are you really not a water ghost?"

Lian Mi carefully glanced at the young man in front of him who was covering his forehead. She knelt down on the edge of the bed and took a towel to carefully wipe away the water stains on the opposite face little by little.

She seemed to be used to serving others, her movements were skillful and gentle...but a little too gentle.

It makes people feel as if she is treating a thin piece of rice paper, as if it will be scratched accidentally.

But the person opposite him was clearly a grown man, which was full of contradiction.

The mattress on the bed was completely soaked, and there was a long water mark that spread from the door to the bed.

The young man sitting on the bed was pale, covering his forehead, feeling vaguely dizzy.

After seeing this, Lian Mi felt even more guilty, thinking it was because of the washboard she had hit before...

But in fact, it was mainly because Chen Kuang wasn't quite used to this new body.

A day and a night have passed since he escaped from the trap of suspended animation and used the Merman's Tears to successfully arrange the method of demon transformation on the puppet.

But because he was afraid that another accident would interrupt the process, Chen Kuang did not officially use the method of demon transformation until the water flow completely calmed down, and formed this new human form.

This human form seems to be complete, but in fact, the Dantian inside is empty, with only a miniature version of the puppet floating quietly, which is the core of the body.

However, the external flesh and blood are all intact and there are no flaws.

For Chen Kuang, the only drawback is that the physical body that was originally tempered by the "mud body and gold sculpture method" is gone, and he has to start all over again.

But in contrast, this Monster Race body itself is very strong.

This can be said to be Monster Race’s innate talent.

Chen Kuang now roughly estimates that his new body should be approximately equal to the physical strength of a Body Refining practitioner at the peak of the Innate Realm.

It's not difficult to get back to where you were before.

This also relieved Chen Kuang and solved a problem he had been worried about, which was that after changing his body, it might take time to practice again.

During this period, he inevitably did not have much ability to protect himself when encountering danger.

What a pity... No, what a blessing.

He originally thought that he would be frightened for a while, but this Merman's Tear seemed to be of a high level, and it automatically made up for the shortcomings of the Demon Slaughter Method.

The original method of demon sloughing is to have a demon body in vain, but it can still only use human cultivation methods. Apart from being able to have a second life, it is a very useless method.

Unless it is absolutely necessary, this last resort will not be used.

Here we talk about the biggest difference between Monster Race and human training.

In other words, demons are naturally inherited by blood.

Most of the Monster Race, as long as they have consciousness after birth, they will awaken their bloodline inheritance, whether it is skills or Divine Ability, they are all imprinted in their instincts.

Therefore, Monster Race tends to grow very quickly.

But at the same time, because their skills and Divine Ability have been fixed, their upper limit is basically set by their own bloodline. It will be difficult for them to make any further progress in the long years to come.

The human race is different. Although their starting point is extremely low, in the eyes of Monster Race, they are no different from ants. They will die if they step on them.

But even if there are only a few peaks that can be reached, Monster Race has been suppressed to death.

Originally, after changing into Monster Race's body, he could only use human skills. There is no doubt that for ordinary people, it would be the same as losing the status of human race, and at the same time, he would not get the benefits of Monster Race... Very angry.

However, Chen Kuang's current situation is completely opposite!

He actually relied on the Shark Tears to awaken his bloodline inheritance, and obtained the training techniques and part of the Divine Ability from the Shark Clan!

The biggest evidence was the pile of complicated information that suddenly appeared in his mind.

It was this information that made him feel a little dizzy now... He had to adapt to it for a while to sort out these things.

However, this will all happen later. Now, he still has to figure out his current situation.

And the most important question - where is he?

Chen Kuang raised his eyes, looked at the girl in pink clothes in front of him, and said with a half-smile: "Of course I am not a water ghost. How can a water ghost come out in broad daylight and still come ashore?"

Lian Mi thought about the same truth. She was just startled and a little panicked at first. After hearing this, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "That's right..."

Chen Kuang added: "If you don't believe it, you can listen to my heartbeat, so you can feel relieved."

"Listen?"

Lian Mi looked down at his soaked chest, hesitantly shook her head, and said firmly: "No! Men and women are not allowed to have sex!"

Her wife said that men are bad things, especially men who appear in brothels!

Never let them get close!

At least at arm's length!

Although... although... this guy didn't appear in the brothel voluntarily. He just drifted over, was knocked unconscious by her slap with a washboard, and was dragged directly into the house...

But she was very curious in her heart. Chen Kuang's words were very suspenseful, which made her want to give it a try.

Chen Kuang was originally just teasing her so that he could use some clichés, but when she refused, he wanted to change the topic.

Unexpectedly, Lian Mi blinked her eyes and said:

"You can't listen to it, but you can touch it."

I reached out and touched it, it was just an arm's length away.

Now, the lady will definitely not talk about her!

Chen Kuang: "?"

Before he could react, Lian Mi put her hand on his heart with a serious expression, as if she was feeling it seriously.

Chen Kuang relaxed and let her "touch" him.

The room suddenly became quiet, with only the sound of residual water dripping to the floor.

After about ten breaths.

Lian Mi said "Ah" and quickly took three steps back, her face turned pale:

"You, you don't have a heartbeat!"

Not only that, she discovered that this man had obviously been submerged in the water for a long time, but after she rescued him, he didn't seem to even take a breath, and his chest didn't rise at all!

Lian Mi's snow-white face wrinkled up in pain and pursed her lips: "You are a water ghost!"

I encountered a water ghost that could emerge from the water in broad daylight. It must be a very powerful ghost!

It's over, it's over, she, Lian Mi, will be here today!

The girl thought again.

No, no!

She still has strength, she can't just give up, she has to struggle!

Chen Kuang was helpless and sighed: "I'm really not..."

Lian Mi stamped her feet and said angrily: "You are still making excuses! Then why is there no sound of your heartbeat?"

"Forehead……"

Chen Kuang touched his chin and said, "Do you want to hear the truth or lies?"

Lian Mi had already begun to roll up her sleeves and said through gritted silver teeth, "You still want to tell lies?! What lies are you going to tell?"

Chen Kuang coughed twice and said in a deep voice: "Actually, I have been weak and sick since I was a child, and my illness has been difficult to treat. Therefore, my heart sound is weak, and it is almost difficult to detect if I don't listen quietly."

This was the rhetoric he had originally prepared.

But I didn't expect that the girl in pink didn't follow the routine.

He smiled: "That's why I just asked you to come closer and 'listen'. I didn't mean to offend the girl."

Is this a lie? !

Isn't this a very reasonable reason?

And it also happened to explain his action of calling someone to listen to his heartbeat just now.

Lian Mi was stunned for a moment and said, "What about the truth?"

Chen Kuang spread his hands and said, "Actually, I am a demon, and I belong to the shark clan in the water. I usually breathe through gills instead of lungs. The blood flow is relatively slow, so my breathing is not obvious and my heartbeat is not strong."

Hearing this, Lian Mi was quiet for a while, and then burst out laughing.

After laughing for a while, she walked up and continued to wipe Chen Kuang's face.

"It turns out you have a bad heart. Just say no, and you're still trying to make excuses with me."

These days, no one believes the truth anymore.

Chen Kuang shrugged and said helplessly: "The girl is pretty, so I can't help but want to joke with you so that I can get closer to you."

He spoke in a gentle tone, matching his increasingly handsome face.

Even the barking of the dog seems affectionate...

Lian Mi's face turned red and she spat: "My wife is indeed right. What men know best is sweet talk."

"But this trick of yours won't work on me. I've seen a lot."

Lian Mi took a look at Chen Kuang's clothes, and the old god analyzed on the ground: "Looking at you, you must be the son of a certain family. I'm afraid you sneaked out of the house and were caught by the elders of the family. You panicked and just chose the way. I can escape from the window and jump into this rouge river."

She spoke so vividly that she had already figured out the reasons, consequences, and consequences.

And it's actually very far away from the river.

Lian Mi finally clapped her hands and said with satisfaction: "But, you can't float, so you almost drowned in the river and floated all the way here. Fortunately, I saved you."

The shape of Chen Kuang's body is almost his own, but the clothes on his body are based on the puppet embroidered by Gantang.

He is dressed in a luxurious rich man's attire, which is very eye-catching.

Coupled with his increasingly handsome appearance due to his Merman blood, it would be no exaggeration to say that he is a prince.

This lotus chattered a lot, but Chen Kuang suddenly caught a key word: "Your wife?"

He hesitated: "You... are a man?"

Or let him meet the ancient LGBT community...

"What man?"

Lian Mi was stunned for a moment, then looked down at her breasts and shook them. They looked like eggplants beaten by frost.

She was about to cry but had no tears, and complained: "You, why do you curse like this?"

Chen Kuang immediately understood that he had misunderstood.

He quickly said in a dumbfounded tone: "That's not what you meant, I'm just curious. Who is this 'lady' in your mouth?"

Lian Mi also immediately understood his thoughts and said speechlessly:

"So that's it...you're so stupid, no, aren't you the young man who comes to visit the flower street, or are you just stupid for doing this dance?"

"My wife is the oiran's wife! The famous oiran from Zangfeng Prefecture, Liu Qingcheng!"

Chen Kuang was stunned and said hesitantly:

"Then this is...?"

"Xu Ni Pavilion——"

Lian Mi said matter-of-factly, then she remembered that the other person was a little stupid right now, so she explained: "It's a brothel!"

Chen Kuang: "..."

…

After changing into the boy's clothes brought by Lian Mi, Chen Kuang finally accepted the fact that he drifted into the Rouge River on Huajie Street and was picked up by an oiran maid.

This so-called Rouge River is a river where the brothel women on both sides of the bank pour water to wash their clothes every day and the servants wash their clothes.

As time passed, the river began to smell vaguely of the fragrance of powder, and the water also became vaguely pink, so it was called the Rouge River.

At first, Chen Kuang was still processing the extra information in his mind, and thought that the rouge breath came from Lian Mi.

But I didn't expect that it was brought by the river water on my body.

Moreover, the room he was in was not like those brothels in TV dramas that were always hung with red silk and various decorations. Instead, it was a very simple servant's room.

——Lian Mi is the oiran's personal maid. Logically speaking, she shouldn't be treated like this.

However, I heard from her that it was her wife who advocated frugality and asked her to follow it since she was a child and not to be deceived by those external things.

This brothel looks like a place of romance, but in fact it is a naked vanity fair.

If you miss those yellow and white things, you have put shackles on yourself, and you will never be able to get rid of them for the rest of your life.

That's what they say, but in fact, Lian Mi's food and clothing expenses are the best. If you want to buy some gadgets on weekdays, you only need to act coquettishly to her oiran lady, and she will definitely let you go.

According to the oiran's statement, it seems to be to prevent Lian Mi from being easily cheated by a man...

Lian Mi said that she had seen a lot, which was not unreasonable.

Chen Kuang's expression was subtle. He felt that the court lady was not raising a maid, but rather a daughter...

This is also true when it is said that the poor should raise a son but the rich should raise a daughter.

The relationship between master and servant is really good.

This makes things easier for him...

Chen Kuang straightened his clothes and greeted Lian Mi, who had been waiting outside the door and chatted with him.

Lian Mi did not enter the door, but just opened the window from the outside and poked her head in. When she saw him, she was stunned and muttered: "It's so strange..."

Chen Kuang asked: "What's so strange?"

Lian Mi made a face: "Like a young man who sneaked through his servants to go shopping in the flower street."

Chen Kuang's temperament is too eye-catching. The clothes he wears are rough in shape and a bit too short. They are incompatible with him.

Chen Kuang said helplessly: "Why does it have to be shopping at Flower Street?"

Lian Mi supported the window frame with her elbows and held her cheek, saying, "What else? How did you fall into the Rouge River?"

Chen Kuang said seriously:

"Actually... I am a disciple of Le Saint. Because of my past hatred, I was chased by Martial Saint and fell into the Yulang River. Fortunately, I survived and drifted down the current to the Rouge River. Fortunately, I was saved by the girl."

Lian Mi almost laughed so much that her stomach ached, and she lay on the window sill with joy and said:

"You, you make up another five cents, I like to hear it! You can tell stories better than that storyteller on the east side street!"

Chen Kuang stretched out his hand and started talking nonsense seriously:

"Now, as long as you give me a tael of gold as a start-up capital, I can make a comeback. Soon after I conquer the Martial Saint Pavilion and obtain the true biography of Le Saint, I will definitely make you the female envoy of the Lotus Flower. This opportunity cannot be missed. That time will never come again.”

Lian Mi was stunned and shouted shamelessly: "One tael of gold? Those fraudsters who cheat money are not as ruthless as you!"

"Legends of Le Sheng are always a bit more expensive."

Chen Kuang scoundrelly said: "If you don't give it to me, I won't tell you."

One tael of gold is so expensive!

She has to save for a long time!

Lian Mi didn't want to give it at all, but she didn't want to miss such an interesting thing. Who among the storytellers outside would dare to arrange a Martial Saint... Besides, she couldn't spend the money even if she stayed in the pavilion all day.

She bit her lip, dug out her small purse, and painfully pulled out a few gold leaves from the corner.

No wonder her wife said that men are the best at lying...

she muttered.

No, she wasn't deceived by a man, she was deceived by a story!

Lian Mi reluctantly handed over the gold leaf in her hand: "There should be enough here... You have to take it. If someone robs you when you go out, I won't care about you!"

After saying that, she felt a little guilty and warned seriously: "Let me tell you first, you are not allowed to tell my wife about this!"

The update is a little late... I hurry up and hurry up, but I still haven't made it in time. Could it be that Quanqin and I are not destined to be together (Far Eyes)
