I am a boss in the world of nine uncles

"I understand, I understand everything."

Gazing at the beautiful woman with fair skin and a slender figure under the red maple tree, the girl felt as if struck by lightning, and murmured to herself.

“It’s not what you think…” Shen Li said subconsciously.

However, the girl could no longer stay in the courtyard. She lowered her head, concealing her emotions, and hurriedly ran out of the courtyard.

"Aren't you going to chase after him and explain?" Shen Li looked at Qin Yao helplessly.

Qin Yao shook his head, turned around and closed the door: "This result is exactly what I wanted."

Judging from how the original owner readily gave him this ailing body without any hesitation, he had absolutely no attachment to his current life or to anyone in it.

Since that's the case, I don't have so many constraints anymore. I don't want to have any karmic connection with this girl, so I'll just part ways in the most decisive way, which is better for both of us.

"What a pity for that young lady's deep affection. You really are a cold-hearted person," Shen Li said with a sigh.

Qin Yao was speechless: "I've figured it out, we must have conflicting attributes, like water and fire that can't be reconciled!"

Shen Li waved her hand: "It's not that exaggerated, it's just that honest advice is hard to hear."

Qin Yao: "..."

time flies

That evening.

Shen Li's primordial spirit entered her sea of ​​consciousness and said to Chang'e, who was meditating cross-legged on the platform, "It's your turn, it's your turn."

Even she herself didn't realize that, without her noticing, she no longer had any reservations about alternating between her body and her own.

Chang'e slowly opened her eyes and said with a smile, "Alright, I'll come back to take your place after dawn."

Shen Li hurriedly said, "You can come, but don't call me. We'll talk about the handover after I wake up."

Chang'e smiled.

This number one female war goddess in the Three Realms has a rather interesting personality.

Lean less.

Chang'e, her consciousness controlling her phoenix form, slowly opened her eyes and saw her beloved sitting opposite her, a radiant smile on his face…

"This kind of life isn't bad," she said with a smile.

Qin Yao nodded slightly: "My previous life was too tiring. From the moment I was born, I had to scheme and make a living, and I was fighting until the very end."

Now that I've arrived here, the pastoral idyll has actually made my soul feel relaxed and much lighter.

Chang'e's smile paused slightly, and she said, "A balance of work and rest is essential to avoid exhausting yourself..."

When she said she was exhausted, she wasn't referring to her body, but rather her mind.

When a deity's spirit collapses, he will quickly turn into a pile of mud, and it will be very difficult to lift him up again.

Qin Yao said softly, "So, the current situation is just right. I just hope that these peaceful days can last a little longer."

Chang'e immediately understood his implied meaning and asked, "Do you have a premonition that this kind of life won't last long?"

Qin Yao nodded: "Neither my body nor your body has anything to do with the word 'ordinary'; the combination of the two has a greater causal relationship, so trouble will definitely come knocking on our door."

Chang'e seemed to be thinking about something, then smiled and said, "Then we should cherish this calm before the storm even more... Come with me for a walk, anywhere is fine."

Qin Yao smiled and stood up: "Okay."

In the blink of an eye.

Under the bright moon.

The two walked slowly through the beautiful mountain stream, enjoying the cool breeze, the faint fragrance of flowers, and the presence of those around them. Their souls seemed to be healed.

But the good times were short-lived. When they reached the top of a mountain and watched the sun and moon alternate and the morning sun slowly rise, Chang'e said to Qin Yao with reluctance in her eyes, "I should go back now."

Qin Yao instinctively tightened his grip on her hand, pleading, "Let's stay a little longer."

Chang'e shook her head, silently withdrew her hand, and closed her eyes.

Not long after.

The phoenix opened its eyes again, but the look in its eyes was completely different; clearly, its primordial spirit had been replaced by Shen Li...

"You two were standing so close, you didn't do anything last night, did you?" After a short while, Shen Li glanced at Qin Yao with a suspicious look on her face.

Qin Yao chuckled: "Using the sky as a blanket and the earth as a bed?"

"Pah, obscene."

Shen Li glared and quickly stood up from the ground.

Qin Yao stood up and said with a smile, "Let's go, it's time to go home and cook."

Upon hearing the word "cooking," Shen Li's heart stirred, and she exclaimed, "I want to eat meat!"

"Okay, let's go buy the meat then," Qin Yao agreed with a smile.

Shen Li: "..."

This kind of unquestioning obedience was completely different from the unquestioning obedience of his subordinates when he was in the spirit world, giving him a rather unfamiliar feeling.

What does this feeling mean?

She thought and thought, but couldn't find a single word to express it.

When he came to his senses, he found himself in a market, surrounded by crowds of people and the sounds of vendors hawking their wares.

Upon seeing this, Shen Li instantly forgot what she had been thinking and excitedly ran around in the street, sensing the vibrant energy of the world.

Qin Yao followed behind her with a smile, and out of affection for her, he also showered her with affection...

In the blink of an eye, I arrived at a bookstall. There, an old man sat behind the bookstall, quietly telling a strange story from ancient times. Below him sat twenty or thirty listeners, giving the feeling of listening to a story in an open-air teahouse.

Qin Yao then sat down on a nearby wooden chair and listened for a while to the incoherent tale of the gods' conflict. While the storyteller was drinking tea, he suddenly asked, "Old sir, could you tell me about the past events of the Three Realms?"

The storyteller looked in the direction of the voice and laughed, "If you want to order a book individually, you'll have to pay; young man, are you sure you want to spend money to buy a story from the Three Realms for everyone?"

Qin Yao took out a silver ingot from his robe and tossed it onto the other person's table: "Is this enough?"

The storyteller picked up the silver and looked at it, then grinned, revealing his gap-toothed grin: "That's enough, that's enough. Where would you like to begin, sir?"

Qin Yao said, "Let's start from the beginning of heaven and earth."

The storyteller blinked and sighed, "This will really test my knowledge. Well then, I'll give you a brief explanation, and you can listen to it."

At this moment, Shen Li suddenly appeared and tried to pull Qin Yao away, but he grabbed her hand and said with a smile, "Sit down and listen to a story."

"What's so great about listening to books?" Shen Li muttered, but eventually sat down obediently.

Behind the bookstall, the storyteller silently considered his words before slowly saying, "It is said that in the beginning of the creation of heaven and earth, there were three realms: the lower realm was the mortal world, and the upper realm was the heavenly realm."

Beasts originally existed in the Celestial Realm. These celestial beasts absorbed the spiritual energy of the celestial realm, cultivated magic, transformed into human form, and called themselves the Spirit Race.

Of course, in the eyes of the immortals, they were beastmen.

Above the celestial realm lies the abode of the ancient gods, known as the Outer Heaven.

The ancient gods possessed immense power, each with their own role, controlling time, space, or creating humans and other objects.

After the ancient gods created humankind, humans learned magic, ascended to the heavens, and called themselves immortals.

As more and more immortals came to the Heavenly Realm, the Immortal Race and the Spirit Race were constantly at odds.

After years of war, the Immortal Race and the Spirit Race drew up an agreement to separate and reside in two different parts of the Heavenly Realm, thus dividing the Heavenly Realm into the Immortal Realm and the Spirit Realm…

Hearing this, Qin Yao roughly understood the background of this world and turned to Shen Li to ask, "Is what he said correct?"

Shen Li nodded: "There are no problems for now."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yao asked the storyteller, "What is the current situation of the ancient gods?"

The storyteller paused slightly, shook his head, and said, "I really don't know, there's no record of it in any of the classics." Qin Yao nodded and said, "Then please continue."

A moment later, when the storyteller reached the part about the spirit world, Shen Li suddenly tugged at Qin Yao's sleeve and said:

"There's no need to listen anymore. What he's saying now is all hearsay and conjecture, no longer the truth."

Qin Yao glanced at her, then they silently got up and left the bookstall.

The storyteller noticed this but did not try to stop them.

For him, since the money was already in his hands, it was actually better that the inquisitive patron had left...

half an hour.

Shen Li carried a lot of food, while Qin Yao carried two strings of raw meat. They walked back to the courtyard side by side.

"Do you still have room to eat meat?" Qin Yao glanced at the food she still hadn't finished eating in her hand and asked with a smile.

Shen Li blinked and said, "In the afternoon... or in the evening, after eating the meat, I can take a walk and then go back to sleep."

"Eat and sleep, sleep and eat, you don't seem like a phoenix at all," Qin Yao joked.

Shen Li frowned: "You called me a pig!"

“No,” Qin Yao said. “I didn’t mention that word.”

That's what you mean.

For a moment, Shen Li found his face quite repulsive, and then ran out of the courtyard in a flash: "I don't want to see you again."

Qin Yao: "..."

This spoiled prince.

She can only talk about herself, but I'm not allowed to talk about her?!
However, she does have a bit of a "savage girlfriend" vibe, which doesn't make her unpleasant to watch.

Qin Yao wasn't too worried about her running away.

After all, no matter how far Shen Li ran away during the day, Chang'e would bring her back at night...

Subsequently.

Qin Yao placed the two long strips of hanging meat in the kitchen, turned around and went to the red maple tree, sat cross-legged, and silently summoned: "System, system..."

Unfortunately.

Perhaps because the time was too short, the system still did not respond.

Even when he examined his own soul, he could not find any trace of the system within his own soul.

"System, oh system, if you can hear my voice, please tell me how I can help you," Qin Yao said, taking a deep breath and feeling a little guilty.

If it weren't for the need to save him, the system wouldn't have had to confront the Dao Ancestor within the Lotus Lantern world head-on, thus being forced into this dormant state...

However, the system clearly could not hear his voice and failed to give him any instructions.

In the blink of an eye.

The golden crow travels westward.

As the sun was setting, the door to the courtyard was suddenly pushed open with a bang. Qin Yao looked up and saw Shen Li running towards him like a whirlwind.

"What, are you being chased?"

"Come with me first, I'll explain on the way."

Shen Li yanked him up from the futon and dragged him out of the courtyard.

Qin Yao knew nothing about the "future" and had no way of guessing what was going on with her, so he had no choice but to follow her at a fast pace until they arrived at a small courtyard.

In the courtyard.

A general's spirit, whose body shimmered with a faint golden light, sensed the presence of the two and walked through the door. He sized up Qin Yao and asked Shen Li, "Is he the expert you mentioned?"

Shen Li nodded repeatedly, pointing at Qin Yao and saying, "That's right, a master!"

Qin Yao was both amused and exasperated: "You really know how to cause trouble, huh? What's going on here?"

Before Shen Li could explain, the general's spirit knelt down before Qin Yao: "Please, someone help me, let Yun Niang see me one more time."

Qin Yao asked, "Who is Yunniang? And what is your relationship with her?"

The spirit replied, "Yunniang is my wife. Before I went to war, I promised her that I would come back; but now that I have returned, she cannot see me."

Qin Yao turned to look at Shen Li and asked, "What is your relationship with him?"

Shen Li said, "When I passed by this place, I sensed his presence and thought he was going to do something to Yunniang, so I shouted and that's how we met."

Having said that, she then addressed the spirit of the fallen hero:

"I must warn you again that you have been granted immortality for your merits. Your immortal soul is like the blazing sun to mortals. Let alone physical contact, even simply living together will harm your wife and cause her to die young."

Yinghun nodded and said, "After saying goodbye to her, I will go where I need to go."

Shen Li let out a soft breath, turned to Qin Yao and smiled, "Master, could you please help me out?"

Qin Yao said, "If you promise me one thing, I will help you."

"Hey, how could you take advantage of my kindness?" Shen Li's expression changed instantly, and she said indignantly.

However, Qin Yao remained unmoved and said calmly, "What kind of good person do you take me for? You think you can control me by saying a few nice words?"

Heroic spirit: "..."

Shen Li sighed helplessly: "Fine, fine, what do you want me to promise you?"

Qin Yao pointed to himself and said, "From now on, you must respect me more, don't argue with me, and don't mess with me."

Shen Li said, "That's a bit too much."

Qin Yao was so angry he laughed: "What did you say?"

Shen Li said, "I can let you off the hook, but if there's anything I don't like, I'll still confront you. Otherwise, it'll be too uncomfortable to keep it bottled up inside. My motto is 'don't burn yourself out!'"

Qin Yao: "..."

It doesn't consume itself, so it consumes me, right?

"Alright, it's decided then. Hurry up and cast the spell. How can a grown man be so indecisive?" Shen Li urged, waving her hand as he remained silent.

Qin Yao said, "I'll be driven crazy by you one day."

"No, no." Shen Li suddenly smiled. "You'll definitely outlive Uncle Wu."

"Fifth Uncle?" Qin Yao asked in surprise, "Did your fifth uncle live for a long time?"

Shen Li blinked, her emotional intelligence instantly taking over, and ultimately she didn't reveal the fact that Uncle Wu was a bastard...

Lean less.

After some playful banter, the two finally reached an agreement. Qin Yao also cast a divine spell on the heroic spirit, causing its divine light to subside and its body to solidify.

"Thank you very much, sir."

The spirit looked at his own palm, then kowtowed deeply.

Qin Yao helped him up and said, "If you want to thank someone, thank the woman next to me. Without her, I wouldn't have been able to get here."

Yinghun nodded and was about to kneel down before Shen Li.

Shen Li reacted quickly, supporting his arms: "No need to kneel. I only ask for peace of mind. If I can help you, I will feel at peace."

A fleeting look of admiration flashed across Qin Yao's eyes.

This Shen Li seems like a good person... no, a good bird! (End of Chapter)
