What If I Can't Die? - Chapter 50
50 Big Smart’s Embarrassment
Song Shi studied the whole night and paid a lot of “tuition fees’, to Liu Ruxue’s satisfaction.
After putting on his clothes and leaving behind a satiated woman, Song Shi left with the thick book.
This time, he had gained a lot. Through this basic book, he had completely changed from a cultivation noob to a cultivation apprentice.
He had a preliminary understanding of the basic knowledge of cultivation, such as the division of cultivators’ realms, the categories of cultivators, the differentiation of various external objects and the cultivation currency system.
!!
The originally blurry cultivation world had opened its door to him, revealing things that were far more complicated and prosperous than he had imagined.
“This world is actually so diverse and vibrant. There are all kinds of people from all walks of life. All kinds of sects are pursuing immortality and moreover I’m already immortal.”
Song Shi’s eyes were deep and he smiled as he looked at the morning sun outside. His eyes sparkled as he let out a long breath.
He thought to himself: “Then I shall seek to not act my age as an immortal instead. After all, just because I’m not dead doesn’t mean I’m not old. In this world where there are so many cultivators, to die of old age is the cruelest way to go”
“Young Master Song.”
Mei Niang walked over with cat-like steps. She still had her charm and smiled sweetly, “It seems like Young Master’s body is getting stronger and stronger. Even Miss Xue’er can’t get out of bed.”
Song Shi raised his head proudly. This was a pride that was unique to men.
“Young Master is indeed talented, but no matter how good he is in bed, he won’t be of much help in a real battle.”
Mei Niang was implying something.
“If you have something to say, say it.”
Song Shi could hear the hidden meaning behind Mei Niang’s words.
“Young Master, the Tong Hu you offended yesterday is very hostile to you. He will most likely attack you. If it’s not necessary, it’s best for the Young Master not to leave the New Moon Brothel in case your life is in danger.”
Mei Niang reminded him seriously.
“My life is in danger!”
Song Shi became excited instead.
This was a good thing. He must go out now.
He pursed his lips, “This guy is really murderous. He still wants to kill me.”
“Young Master, the cultivation world is not as peaceful as the secular world. There are also laws and rules to adhere to.”
Mei Niang smiled bitterly. She felt that Song Shi did not know the cruelty of the cultivation world. She continued, “The cultivation world is a place where the strong prey on the weak. There are many people who would kill you just because they don’t like you. There are even people who are killed because they were perceived as hostile when they glanced at others.”
“Doesn’t it mean that whoever has power decides the life and death of others?”
Song Shi mocked.
“That’s right. Without protection, cultivators can die all too easily.”
Mei Niang nodded, “That’s why it’s best for Young Master Song to stay here. Although the New Moon Brothel is only the outer sanctum of the Yao Moon Palace, with the warden here, it’s enough to intimidate some people.”
“I’m just going home. With the people from the Demon Slayers Division around, I don’t believe he still dares to attack.”
Song Shi did not care. In fact, he could not wait for that guy to make a move.
“Um…”
Mei Niang was a little speechless. After saying so much, why were you so stubborn?
Wasn’t it better to stay here obediently and sleep with Liu Ruxue?
“If you get protection and Liu Ruxue absorbs power, no one will lose out. It’s a win-win situation.”
She made her final persuasion, “There’s still some distance between the New Moon Brothel and Young Master Song’s house…”
“There’s no need to persuade me. How can a man like me hide like a turtle?”
Song Shi waved his hand and said nonchalantly, “Besides, I already took a punch from him. The big guy’s strength is only so-so. I can’t win, but it’s not a problem for me to survive his attacks.”
Mei Niang was speechless, “Young Master, he didn’t use his full strength back then. He didn’t even use his Dharma artifacts.”
“Me neither.”
Song Shi shrugged, “Arrange something for me to eat. I’ll leave after I’m full!”
“Well… Alright.”
Mei Niang nodded helplessly and walked over to instruct the servants to prepare breakfast for Song Shi.
Song Shi shouted outside, “Big Smart, come and eat!”
“Okay!”
Upon hearing that they were going to eat, Big Smart immediately ran in.
When Mei Niang saw Big Smart and sensed his aura, she was shocked. “Young Master Song, your guard has reached the Connate realm!”
“Yeah, what’s the problem?”
Song Shi strode towards the dining room.
“Your guard is already in his thirties and his Vitality is about to go downhill. It’s quite rare to break through at this juncture.”
Mei Niang praised. Combat cultivation was much more difficult than immortal cultivation. It relied more on one’s own hard work than Talent.
She roughly understood where Song Shi’s confidence came from.
With a Connate guard, it was indeed much safer.
“Big Smart, Mei Niang is praising you. Why aren’t you seizing the opportunity?”
Song Shi smiled evilly at Big Smart as he turned around to enter the other room to eat.
Big Smart saw the voluptuous and charming Mei Niang sizing up him with her eyes. Her face was slightly red, and her posture was bashful, like a shy little girl.
He said embarrassedly, “Mei Niang, you flatter me. I relied on the Young Master’s kindness and teaching.”
“Guard Liu is really humble. This Martial Dao Connate threshold is not simple. Once you cross it, it’s equivalent to stepping onto the Immortal Path as a mortal. Not only can you live for three decades, but your combat strength is even stronger than us cultivators.”
Mei Niang twisted her body and walked over. She pulled Big Smart and said, “Come, Mei Niang has to toast Guard Liu a few cups of wine to congratulate you on reaching the Connate realm.”
Being hugged by a pair of soft, Big Smart, who had almost never touched a woman, felt his heart beat increasingly faster. His face turned red and his body tensed.
This made Mei Niang giggle charmingly, while thinking that this man was quite interesting.
Song Shi, who was eating and drinking, could not help but laugh when he saw Big Smart’s embarrassment. “Hahaha, Big Smart, it’s time for you to have a taste of a woman. This Mei Niang is not a bad choice.”
From his senses, Mei Niang was probably at the sixth level of Qi Refinement. She could be considered a hidden expert. Before this, he was not strong enough and did not notice her hidden powers.
“I’m just afraid that Bodyguard Liu will look down on this withered flower.”
Mei Niang looked at Big Smart meaningfully. Actually she too desired Big Smart.
As far as she knew, this man’s cultivation technique was special. In addition, he had maintained his Pure Yang Body for more than 30 years.
Now that she had broken through to the Connate realm, the Connate Pure Yang Qi in her body was definitely pure. If he gave her some, it would definitely help her break through the bottleneck and step into the late-stage Qi Refinement realm!
“No… No, why would I despise you? As long as you don’t mind me for being so burly”
As he stuttered apprehensively, Big Smart was so nervous that his bones felt weak.
“Yes, I like you very much.” Mei Niang exhaled cloyingly at Big Smart, making his breath quicken.
Fortunately, Big Smart had good self-control. When he saw the food, his appetite overcame his lust. He hurriedly broke free from Mei Niang and coughed, “Where are you going later, Young Master?”
“Of course I’ll be going back home. I can’t stay in this place forever.”
Song Shi took a bite of the meat and frowned, “Why does this meat feel so bland and tasteless?”
“I don’t think so. This is the finest class of beef.”
Mei Niang tasted it, “It’s still the same taste as before. Young Master, are you so tired that your taste buds are affected?”
“I also feel that this meat was not as tasty as before. It should be because we are stronger. Ordinary sustenance is less effective on our bodies.”
Big Smart explained the reason.
