After Deceiving Shizun into Dual Cultivating, I Ran Away With His Bun 33

Chapter 33

Helan Xue thought he had misheard.
Dual what?
Lin Queli clutched Helan Xue’s collar, refusing to let go. It was unclear if he was deliberately acting cute or had forgotten. He reiterated, “Dual cultivation! Shizun, dual cultivate with me!”
Lin Queli said it with great determination, as if they were going into battle together.
Helan Xue: “…”
Cultivate what?
Taking advantage of Helan Xue’s daze, Lin Queli swallowed hard, grabbed his collar, and leaned in…
We’ve already hugged, right?
Lin Queli’s hand trembled slightly, his large eyes staring fixedly at Helan Xue’s face.
Whoosh—
Helan Xue’s face immediately turned cold, and he swept Lin Queli away with a single motion.
“?!”
Helan Xue said sternly, “Don’t push your luck.”
After being thrown back into the quilt, Lin Queli was dizzy for a while. Then he looked at Helan Xue’s stern face and, as was his wont, held his forehead and curled up in the quilt, crying, “Sh-Shizun… my head hurts…”
Helan Xue looked at Lin Queli suspiciously. He reached out and checked Lin Queli’s pulse, and it was indeed chaotic.
“If your head hurts, then be quiet. Don’t cause trouble.”
Lin Queli blinked his watery eyes at Helan Xue. “I need Shizun to kiss me to get better.”
Helan Xue laughed out of anger. “Is that all you have in your mind?”
Lin Queli said shyly, “I love Shizun, my mind is full of Shizun.”
“…”
Helan Xue had wanted to ask, can you distinguish between love and dependence?
A moment later, what Helan Xue asked was, “Would you block a hidden weapon for anyone else?”
“No!” Lin Queli thought to himself, I’m not a fool. The only reason I blocked the hidden weapon for Helan Xue was because he was my seduction target. What if something happened to him? What about my points and my mission?
He said with a grin, “Shizun is different from others.”
The young man’s eyes were sparkling, without a trace of impurity, making it hard for anyone not to believe his affection and sincerity.
Helan Xue lowered his eyes and withdrew his hand.
“Rest well.”
He stood up and sat on the soft couch on the side, entering deep meditation.
Lin Queli pouted and obediently curled up in the quilt to rest.
A moment later, he seemed to realize something and turned his head to look at Helan Xue in surprise.
Ah… so Helan Xue came to his room, meaning he’s staying in the same room with him?
Lin Queli was ecstatic, but before he could come up with a plan to trick his Shizun into sleeping in the same bed, he fell into a daze because of his headache and fell asleep.
Perhaps due to the residual toxins, Lin Queli did not sleep well, and his dreams were chaotic.
He first dreamed of his end in the original novel—being defeated by the original Helan Xue along with Elder Jin, turned into a human swine, and imprisoned in the dungeon of the Myriad Sword Sect, never to see the light of day.
Then, after finally finding a chance to escape, he was killed by the Long Aotian, his soul scattered.
Lin Queli struggled uncomfortably in his dream. Then the scene changed, and it became Helan Xue’s majestic gaze.
He seemed to have discovered that he was the Demon Lord.
“This Venerable is very disappointed in you.”
He reached out and choked his neck, wanting to kill him.
“No…”
Lin Queli opened his eyes in fear, only to find that the dream and reality had overlapped. His neck was once again being choked.
Because his breathing was being deprived, Lin Queli gasped and woke up from his dream. Like last time, his eyes were covered by an invisible spiritual energy, and his whole body was unable to move, and he couldn’t even summon the System.
But wasn’t the demon from last time killed by Helan Xue?!
How could there be more!
Lin Queli was very scared. This was the Demon Lord’s body. He was clearly not weak, so how could he not even move a finger?
What on earth is this…!
Last time, it was Helan Xue who saved him… Is Helan Xue not in the room at this moment?
His breathing became less and less. Lin Queli felt as if he were being pressed down by a mountain of seawater, and the shadow of death loomed over him, ready to open its bloody mouth at any moment.
He was about to die…
Lin Queli could only call out with difficulty, “Shizun…”
Thump—!
With the sound of the door opening, Lin Queli felt a burst of cold qi, and then the black mist before his eyes gradually dissipated.
If I don’t know what this thing is, I can’t guarantee that I won’t fall for it again next time!
Lin Queli used all his strength to reach out, wanting to grab that ball of black qi, but he felt himself grab onto hot flesh.
Before he could react, the solid thing he had finally caught slipped away again.
Damn it…!
That unknown thing and the black mist dissipated together. After regaining his sight, Lin Queli gasped for breath with lingering fear and sat up directly.
But there was nothing around him except for the falling snow.
In the distance, Helan Xue was looking at him with a frown.
Lin Queli pounced on him.
“Shizun…!” He hugged Helan Xue, almost pressing himself against him. “There was something in my room just now!”
Helan Xue frowned and looked around. “When This Venerable came in, I only saw a ball of black qi.”
Lin Queli saw a red mark on Helan Xue’s hand and said angrily, “That demon even hurt Shizun!”
Helan Xue paused.
He put his hand down and looked at Lin Queli. “Besides your neck, are you injured anywhere else?”
“No.” Lin Queli shook his head, then said pitifully, “Where did Shizun go?”
“To discuss matters with Shouyang.”
“Sob…” Lin Queli rested his head on Helan Xue’s chest, partly because he really felt uneasy, and partly to earn some points. “I’m so scared, so scared I can’t sleep. But if I don’t sleep, my head will hurt… Can Shizun sleep with me?”
“…”
Lin Queli pressed his temples. “Sob, sob, it hurts…”
“…You’re good at acting cute.”
Seeing Helan Xue’s attitude soften, although he didn’t agree, Lin Queli didn’t hesitate to act first and report later. While crying about the pain, he stumbled and grabbed Helan Xue, rolling onto the bed together.
Helan Xue was pulled down with him and lay down, feeling that this was ridiculous.
Before he could say anything, he saw Lin Queli hug his arm, smiling so wide his teeth were showing. “This is the first time…”
The first time I successfully tricked my Shizun into sleeping with me! Good! A small step for Lin Queli, a big step for seduction!
Helan Xue frowned.
The first time?
This child is so happy. Could it be that he had no one to take care of him when he was sick or injured in the past?

【Congratulations, Host, for completing physical contact: Sleeping in the Same Bed. Reward: 40 points!】
“…!”
Good, good, good!!
Lin Queli was overjoyed and floated. He looked at Helan Xue, who was lying beside him, in disbelief. Helan Xue didn’t even resist. He’s really accompanying me? Is it going to rain red?
The two were very close, so close that they could feel each other’s breath.
Lin Queli was a little mesmerized.
After lying down, Helan Xue didn’t seem as distant as usual. His scattered white hair looked much softer, and although his golden eyes were like still water, the water was not necessarily not gentle.
Lin Queli said with a silly smile, “Shizun, you’re so good-looking.”
Helan Xue reached out and tapped the tip of Lin Queli’s nose. “Go to sleep. Don’t make a fuss anymore.”
But Lin Queli was suddenly a little reluctant to sleep. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. How could he usually sleep in the same bed with Helan Xue?
He smiled. “I can’t sleep. I want Shizun to tell me a bedtime story.”
“This Venerable doesn’t know any.”
“Then… just say anything.” Lin Queli blinked. “Like interesting things you encountered during your cultivation or when you were slaying demons and exterminating evil?”
Helan Xue thought for a moment.
“What’s so interesting about cultivation? It’s just practicing with a sword and concentrating day after day. When I go down the mountain to gain experience, I mostly just kill any demons I see.”
“…”
Okay, as expected of you.
Lin Queli continued to ask, “Then why did Shizun want to cultivate the Dao of Cangsheng? And how did you have such a firm will?”
Helan Xue paused.
But when Helan Xue looked at Lin Queli again, he saw that Lin Queli had already fallen asleep happily, hugging his arm. After falling asleep, Lin Queli’s eyelashes, which usually blinked with his master’s winks, were now lying quietly on his eyelids, and his lips, which were usually opening and closing nonstop, were now pursed together, looking very soft.
The corner of Helan Xue’s mouth moved, and he shook his head slightly.
It’s better when he’s asleep.
He’s not noisy when he’s asleep, and he’s more obedient.

…
…

For the next few days, Lin Queli recuperated in his room. When Helan Xue was out on business, Qiansui would come to accompany him, and occasionally there would be…
“A’Yu?!”
Lin Queli thought he was seeing things.
A’Yu said that for some reason, Helan Xue and the others had actually let him move around freely, but to ensure that he didn’t cause trouble, Qiansui would always supervise him. But A’Yu’s cultivation was not as high as theirs, so he really couldn’t cause any trouble.
And when Qiansui was not around, Lin Queli pulled A’Yu and summoned Tingfeng and Zhuiying together.
The Myriad Sword Sect was now tracking A’Yu’s clansmen and investigating the Radiant Church. Lin Queli felt that since they were colluding with Elder Jin, it should be easier for him to investigate from the inside.
The Demon Palace’s shadow guards were currently his only trusted subordinates and his only power. So Lin Queli had them investigate and give the results to A’Yu, who would then pass them on to the Myriad Sword Sect.
And so, another two days passed. Yuncheng had been attacked by “demons” before, but because the Myriad Sword Sect was there, the losses were not too heavy. Now it had returned to normal. The city lord and the people of the city, to thank the Myriad Sword Sect, had specially held a banquet.
The banquet was in the city lord’s mansion. Helan Xue did not attend this kind of banquet, and Shouyang was also busy with the case, so Qiansui was responsible for bringing everyone to eat and drink for free. Lin Queli’s injuries had not fully healed, but he would crawl to this kind of occasion even if he had to.
The young people walked into the courtyard, and on the long table that seemed to have no end, there were fine wine and fruits.
The city lord was a chubby man. He enthusiastically introduced them. The people would send food to the city lord’s mansion every quarter after the harvest, and this time they had sent even more, and they had all chosen the best, saying it was for the immortals.
Lin Queli asked Qiansui in a low voice, “They send food to the city lord? Does that mean this city lord is very popular?”
He mainly wanted to ask, wasn’t the Myriad Sword Sect also very popular? Why didn’t anyone send food to the sect, sob, sob, sob… If Helan Xue and the others didn’t eat it, he could eat it?
Qiansui: “Not really. Don’t the people have to pay taxes to the city lord every year?”
“Oh…”
Okay then.
After the banquet was halfway through, the city lord came to Lin Queli with a cup of wine and a smile. “Aiya… looking at your outstanding appearance, you must be the new disciple of Taxue Xianzun, right?”
Lin Queli nodded.
“That’s great! To show our gratitude, Yuncheng wants to give the Immortal Venerable a gift, a very good antique trinket. Are you willing to go to the storeroom with me to get it?”
Lin Queli was a little confused. No, wait, what kind of thing requires me to go and get it personally? Why didn’t the city lord just bring it over?
Seeming to see Lin Queli’s confusion, the city lord explained, “That antique has spiritual energy. We mortals can’t move it. It’s precisely because of this that I feel it’s suitable as a gift for you immortals!”
“Oh… okay.”
Lin Queli scratched his head, told Qiansui, and then put down his wine cup and left the courtyard with the city lord.
