I am a boss in the world of nine uncles

Time passes.

In the blink of an eye, another ten days or so have passed.

For nearly half a month, that young master really didn't come to bother the courtyard. Qin Yao was quite satisfied with this result, feeling as if he had resolved a calamity for the original owner of the body.

At the same time, the original owner's sickly body was also strengthened by his cultivation. He was inconspicuous when wearing a blue robe, but after taking off his clothes, smooth and firm muscle lines could be seen.

As for that cough, it's long gone...

In the wing room.

Shen Li sat by the window, gazing at the green-robed immortal under the grape trellis in the courtyard, a complex emotion appearing on her face.

Life in the countryside courtyard was very peaceful. The only daily worries were what to eat for three meals a day, or where to play after meals.

Not to mention compared to the war years, even compared to her life in the palace, this life is more relaxed and comfortable than anyone could have imagined; it is truly a rare and wonderful time.

only……

She, Shen Li, was destined not to live such a peaceful life forever.

Thinking about this, he felt a sense of resistance.

What are you resisting?
Do you resist the urge to break this tranquility?

Shen Li fell into deep thought.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Suddenly, a clear voice came from under the grape trellis, instantly waking him up.

Shen Li jumped out of the window and strode like a man to the grape trellis: "When are you going to do what you promised me?"

Qin Yao slowly sat up straight, looking curious: "Are you in a hurry?"

Shen Li shook her head: "It's not that I'm in a hurry, it's just... how should I put it, it feels like you don't care at all."

Qin Yao chuckled, then flipped his hand and took out a jade porcelain bottle, tossing it to the other party.

Shen Li instinctively caught the bottle and asked, "What is this?"

"Inside is a Nine-Turn Golden Pill, which can restore your divine power in a short time. At first, I was reluctant to give it to you, but after spending time together, I gradually came to regard you as a true friend," Qin Yao said with a smile.

Shen Li was taken aback: "Are you sure this tiny pill can restore my deficiencies?"

Qin Yao said with certainty, "It's confirmed. This is a top-grade immortal pill personally refined by a Celestial Venerable level expert. If it can't even make up for your deficit, then that would be too ridiculous."

Shen Li: "..."

What is this guy's background?
Such a miraculous elixir can be taken out so easily!

Then she remembered something else, and her expression suddenly became hesitant.

"What, you still don't believe me?" Qin Yao raised an eyebrow.

Shen Li shook her head and sighed softly: "If I recover from my deficiency and my aura gradually becomes stronger, then the Spirit Lord will definitely sense it."

Qin Yao asked, "And then?"

Shen Li said irritably, "Then the Spirit Lord will send people to capture me and force me to marry that Heavenly Grandson."

"Oh." Qin Yao nodded and said, "Then we need to take precautions in advance."

Shen Li was taken aback: "On guard?"

Qin Yao said, "Yes, we can set up some formations or something in the courtyard."

Shen Li couldn't help but laugh: "You really are..."

She couldn't imagine what kind of formation could stop the spirit army.

Moreover, if the spirit army cannot capture him, the Spirit Lord will likely have to appear in person.

Could this formation possibly stop the Spirit Lord?

"What's wrong with me?" Qin Yao asked, confused.

He genuinely didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said. In fact, after personally killing the Emperor and Empress, his reverence for the Immortal Venerable began to decline sharply.

The Spirit Lord of this Realm...

How does she compare to the Queen Mother of the West?
"fine."

Shen Li waved her hand and pondered, "Take me to a crowded place to take the medicine. The crowd will at least cover up my aura. After I recover my divine power, I will use magic to seal my aura. I hope that this will buy me more time."

“The more time, the better. The more time we have, the stronger the formation we can set up.” Qin Yao agreed wholeheartedly, then stood up and raised his right hand: “Give me your hand, and I’ll take you into the city.”

Shen Li blinked.

This……

Isn't this too intimate?

"Are you being coy? First War God?" Qin Yao asked with a strange expression.

Shen Li glared at him and grabbed his hand: "You're talking nonsense! I'm never coy!"

With a thought, Qin Yao quickly took her into the air and said, "You're quite fun."

Shen Li: "..."

What words?

What kind of tiger-wolf talk is this?
"Ahem, I meant personality." Seeing her face gradually turn red, Qin Yao quickly said.

"Go to hell!" Shen Li, her temper flaring, kicked the other person.

Qin Yao nimbly dodged the kick, saying, "Stop fooling around, you're flying, it's dangerous."

Shen Li: "..."

In the blink of an eye.

Qin Yao led her into the bustling inner city, where people thronged the streets, and asked, "Is this place alright?"

Shen Li nodded slightly and sat cross-legged: "Help me protect the Dharma."

Qin Yao laughed and said, "Don't worry, with me here, no one can hurt you."

After a while.

As Shen Li swallowed the Nine-Turn Golden Pill, her aura grew stronger and stronger. In the depths of the Spirit Palace within the Immortal Realm's Spirit Domain, a beautiful woman in purple suddenly opened her eyes and softly called out, "Someone come here."

As soon as he finished speaking, a pair of men who looked like brothers flew over quickly and said in unison, "Greetings, Spirit Lord."

The beautiful woman in purple slowly rose, and a powerful aura spread throughout the palace: "King Bi Cang is in a city-state in the eastern Changyuan region of the mortal world. Go quickly and bring him back to the spirit realm."

"Yes, sir." The two men respectfully accepted the order.

world.

Within the city-state.

Shen Li slowly opened her eyes, looking at Qin Yao with a face full of surprise: "He really recovered... What an amazing Immortal Venerable of Alchemy. If I could have such an Immortal Venerable accompany me, then I would surely be even more powerful!"

"What good things are you thinking about?" Qin Yao said with amusement.

Shen Li quickly stood up, trying her best to conceal her aura: "How many of these pills do you have left?"

Qin Yao immediately became cautious: "What?"

“Sell me the remaining pills, I’ll buy them at a high price,” Shen Li said.

Qin Yao shook his head, turned and left: "That's all, you ate the last one."

Shen Li quickly chased after him: "I don't believe it, you must still have more, don't go, let's talk this over..."

After a long time.

Just as the two were passing by a mansion, Shen Li, who was still pestering Qin Yao, suddenly paused and looked sharply into the mansion.

Qin Yao stopped with her and looked to the side, only to see countless red demonic energies gathering in the mansion, constantly chasing after the servants. The scene was truly bizarre.

"Shh."

The next moment, Shen Li rushed straight into the mansion, raised her hand to cast a spell, freezing all the demonic groups, and shouted, "What kind of monster dares to commit violence in broad daylight!"

After she finished speaking, she waved her hand, and countless magical formations exploded simultaneously, creating a scene resembling a fireworks display, with her as the sole protagonist in the fireworks.

However, no one responded in the courtyard, making the protagonist seem somewhat embarrassed.

"follow me."

Qin Yao flew to her side, grabbed her right wrist, and instantly transformed into a beam of light, appearing in a secret room.

Shen Li stared intently and saw a female demon dressed in a black dress, with fierce eyes and a body full of resentment, strangling a man by the neck. It looked like the man was about to be strangled to death... "Whoosh."

Upon realizing that her companion had released her wrist, Shen Li immediately transformed into a bolt of lightning and rushed over, grabbing the banshee by the neck and slamming her against a wall, thus saving the dying man.

"Let me go, I'm going to kill this bastard."

The adorable-looking but dark-skinned female demon struggled desperately, trying to break free from her confinement.

Shen Li raised an eyebrow and said, "Bastard? What did he do?"

The demoness said, "He betrayed me. He raised me so that I could exchange my life for his wife's."

Shen Li turned her head and glanced at the man lying on the ground, coughing incessantly, and said indifferently, "Is what this flower fairy said true or false?"

The man's expression was complicated as he slowly shook his head.

Shen Li then released her restraints on the flower demon and turned back to say, "I will stand up for you. From now on, you two are completely cut off and have no further connection. Don't seek revenge on him. After all, whatever his motives, he gave you life."

The flower fairy gritted her teeth and said, "No way."

Shen Li's temper flared up instantly. She grabbed the other person and tucked them under her arm, then slapped their buttocks.

"Crack, crack, crack..."

In an instant, a crisp tapping sound echoed throughout the entire secret chamber.

Qin Yao silently turned his head away, thinking to himself, "This woman is really fierce."

"Wow~"

Soon after, the flower fairy was beaten and cried loudly, tears and snot flowing from her eyes.

Shen Li silently stopped what she was doing and asked softly, "Do you submit?"

The flower fairy sobbed, "I give up... I give up."

Shen Li calmed down and turned to the man, saying, "I'll take this flower demon with me as repayment for saving your life."

"No." The man slowly stood up and said seriously.

Shen Li frowned: "Why not?"

The man pointed to the bed: "You just heard her say that my wife is still waiting for her to save her life."

Shen Li sneered, "Does being a demon mean you deserve to die? To save your wife's life, you're willing to sacrifice hers?"

The man shook his head, then suddenly knelt down on the ground with a thud: "Xiao He, I beg you."

Shen Li was furious and summoned a golden spear with a flick of her hand: "Do you believe I can kill you right now?"

"I'm willing to die, but please let Xiaohe save my wife," the man said, kowtowing.

"Let me see if you're just being stubborn." Shen Li snorted and raised her spear to thrust at her opponent.

Qin Yao suddenly raised his hand and gripped the gun, saying softly, "Look behind you."

Shen Li was stunned for a moment, not understanding why, but still looked behind her and saw that Xiao He had been crying for some time.

Why are you crying again?

Xiaohe said softly, "He gave me my life, and now that he wants to use it, I'll just give it back to him."

Shen Li: "..."

Crazy?
"Wait a minute." Seeing that the lotus fairy was about to sacrifice herself to save people, Qin Yao spoke again.

The lotus fairy looked in the direction of the voice and asked in a tearful voice, "Do you have any further instructions?"

Qin Yao pointed to the woman lying on the spirit-gathering array not far away and said, "You don't need to sacrifice yourself, I can save her."

"Is this true?"

Before the lotus fairy could speak, the man became excited and asked with a hopeful expression.

Qin Yao nodded: "It's true, but after I revive her, you must grant this lotus demon her freedom."

“Give it to me, I’ll give it to you. Whatever you want, I can give you, including my life,” the man said.

"What would I do with your life?" Qin Yao waved his hand, used his teleportation ability to instantly appear inside the magic array, and reached out to the woman's face.

Subsequently, streams of faith power, imbued with boundless vitality, continuously surged forth, flowing into the woman's body and transforming into her own life force.

Shen Li watched this scene silently, then said to the lotus fairy, "You may leave now. From this moment on, you are free."

The lotus fairy shook her head, her gaze fixed on the woman on the bed.

Not long after.

The woman's eyelids twitched slightly, and then she slowly opened her eyes.

"Shi'er."

Seeing Qin Yao finish his practice, the man immediately pounced on him and hugged him tightly.

"Chengjin, I thought I would never see you again," Ye Shi murmured as she hugged him back.

Two clear tears suddenly slid down Gu Chengjin's cheeks. He then turned around and knelt down in front of Qin Yao: "Thank you, Immortal Master, for saving my wife. Gu Chengjin is deeply grateful."

Qin Yao waved his hand and said, "Just don't say that I saved you. I hate trouble the most."

After saying that, he turned around and stood in front of Shen Li: "Are you satisfied now?"

Shen Li glared at Gu Chengjin and said, "He got off easy."

Qin Yao chuckled and took her wrist: "Let's go..."

Lean less.

After leaving the Gu family's gate, he suddenly stopped and turned back to look at the lotus fairy: "Why are you following us?"

The lotus fairy said timidly, "I... have nowhere to go."

Seeing her pitiful appearance and feeling sorry for her tragic situation, Shen Li turned to Qin Yao and said, "Um, how about we plant a lotus in the yard?"

Qin Yao smiled and said, "Whatever you say."

He didn't care about any of that, since the lotus flower didn't need any of his support anyway.

Shen Li pursed her lips and said softly, "Thank you..."

She increasingly found herself feeling an inexplicable ease when she was with him. It was as if all her burdens had been lifted, and she only needed to consider her own happiness.

Qin Yao waved his hand and said, "Let's go, let's go back and set up the formation. This matter cannot be delayed."

Shortly after.

In the small courtyard.

Lotus Fairy sat with Shen Li on the steps of the hall entrance, watching Qin Yao busy in the courtyard with a calligraphy brush. Suddenly, she asked, "Sister Shen Li, what is your relationship with him?"

Shen Li said, "Friends? We can barely be considered sworn brothers."

The lotus fairy blinked and said, "I thought..."

Shen Li understood what she meant and said, "He has someone he likes, so you mustn't make the same mistake twice."

Lotus Fairy: "..."

At this moment, Shen Li looked up at the darkening sky and smiled gently: "Would you like to see his sweetheart?"

Lotus Fairy: "Huh?"

"I'll call her over to say hello to you," Shen Li said, immediately closing her eyes.

The lotus fairy was completely dumbfounded.

What is this and what?
Why can't she understand what I'm saying?

A moment later, just as she was feeling confused, Chang'e's spirit took control of her entire body and slowly opened her eyes: "You must be Xiao He?"

Lotus Fairy: "..."

Are you kidding me?!
After a long time.

She finally learned what had happened from Chang'e and couldn't help but exclaim, "It's unbelievable that such a thing could happen."

Chang'e smiled slightly and said softly, "I think so too, and sometimes I even wonder if this is all a dream. A dream that is absurd, yet beautiful."

Yes.

Beautiful.

To be able to spend every day with her beloved and live together—this was a scene she had fantasized about countless times, and now it had actually become a reality. How could it not be considered a dream come true? (End of Chapter)
