Water Ghost, God Hunter, Immortal Healer, and the Great Xia's Number One Martial Saint!

"Hey, aren't you going to sleep, you little rascal?"

In the hazy moonlight, Zhang Cui, who was lying next to Li Lai, was shaken awake by Li Xingdao. Seeing him coming over, she quickly held him back and spoke in a low voice.

"Zhang Cui, I think we should have agreed on this, otherwise I won't be able to sleep!"

Li Xingdao spoke firmly: "Zhang Cui, did you collude with Li Lai to deceive me?"

"Oh dear, you little rascal, I wouldn't lie to you like that, you've already moved into my house..."

Zhang Cui gritted her teeth and said in a low voice, "Let's not stay inside. Let's go to the yard. It's spacious there, and you can really put all your energy to use and work up a sweat."

"Okay, let's go to the yard. It's cool and bright there!"

Li Xingdao's eyes lit up, his face beaming with a silly grin, and he hurriedly nodded.

Before Zhang Cui could get up, he picked her up from the bed.

"Hey, you little rascal, slow down..."

"..."

The courtyard was slightly cool at night. After a while, Li Xingdao looked relaxed and lay down in his room, feeling tired.

He glanced at Li Lai, who was lying on his side, and smiled slightly.

Then he looked at Zhang Cui, who was lying beside the bed.

"What a pity..." he thought to himself as he examined his body.

"If it doesn't work well for Qi Li Lai, you really can't use too much force before you've recovered your health."

Li Xingdao thought to himself, "That thing is good, but my weak body in this world can't handle it!"

"We still need to upgrade eight more trees, so we need to keep an eye on our business as well."

Upon realizing this, Li Xingdao couldn't help but close his eyes and rest silently.

“…………”

The next morning.

Li Xingdao woke up on the low bed, feeling a sense of emptiness all over his body.

"How can I work if I'm so weak?"

Thinking back to Zhang Cuishui's mediocre performance last night, and then recalling the intense actions of that night, Li Xingdao felt a pang of regret.

Oh no, I'm so weak. My essence is so precious. I miscalculated!

"If this continues, even if I manage to make Li Lai sick from anger, I'll still suffer heavy losses on both sides."

Li Xingdao secretly realized that he needed to change his tactics and could no longer rely on this method to wear down Li Lai.

"Forget it, let's focus on recovering first. We'll talk about it again when we're full of energy. If things get really bad, we can always pull some dirty tricks on Li Lai when he's almost recovered."

Li Xingdao's mind raced, but finding a legitimate and aboveboard solution was difficult.

But it's not hard to come up with a dirty trick, is it?

With just a little thought, you can come up with a whole bunch of tricks...

"As long as I have enough energy and a strong body, causing an accident to a weak man in this room would be incredibly easy."

A thought flashed through Li Xingdao's mind, and he immediately changed his mindset, deciding to focus on taking care of his health and upgrading his career.

We'll deal with Li Lai's matter later.

With these thoughts in mind, Li Xingdao looked into the bed and found it empty.

Neither Bai Run, Zhang Cui, nor the lame Li Lai were in the house.

He immediately got up from the bed, put on a pair of straw sandals, and went outside to take a look.

Li Lai sat at the doorway, while Zhang Cui made breakfast in the kitchen. Her washed clothes were hanging up by the door.

Upon seeing Zhang Cui, Li Xingdao couldn't help but recall the scene from last night, and his expression softened considerably, a smile appearing on his face.

Then he glanced at Li Lai on the side and frowned.

"Feeling weak?"

Just as Li Xingdao was looking over, Li Lai also noticed his gaze, turned to look into his eyes, and chuckled lightly: "Serves you right for not valuing your strength. Now you know the downsides of using too much strength, don't you?"

No?

Why aren't you angry at all?

Li Xingdao was stunned when he saw Li Lai, who had a light smile and a relaxed expression.

This is not what he expected!

"Silence won't help. Last night I really showed you what I meant, so you'll know I'm not lying to you. From now on, settle down and work hard."

Seeing Li Xingdao's reaction, Li Lai chuckled, tapped his cane, and a fierce glint flashed in his eyes:

"The harvest is in a month. If you don't get well and the harvest isn't plentiful, I'll skin you alive!"

"You must take this month to fully recover; you absolutely cannot do anything that could harm your health!"

After Li Lai finished speaking, he slowly used his cane to support himself as he walked into the house, pointed to the table and chairs, and looked at him: "Aren't you going to tidy up the table and chairs?"

You think you can skin me alive, you cripple?

Even now, if a fight breaks out, it's hard to say who will live and who will die.

Li Xingdao was speechless, but he also became wary. On the surface, he pretended to be honest and simple, and went to move tables and chairs with his head down.

But in my heart and mind, it served as a reminder once again.

— Li Lai is a beast; he would never have any good intentions towards him.

All the good things he's doing now are simply because he wants to utilize his physical strength, so he has no choice but to do so.

Once he recovers, I will definitely find a way to kill him.

Therefore... when it's time to act, you must be decisive and ruthless!

"Whoosh~"

As Li Xingdao was tidying up, Li Lai suddenly shoved him with his palm.

He lost his balance and tried to straighten up, but a thought flashed through his mind and he stopped, falling to the ground. He immediately looked up and stared at him.

"Hey, look how weak you are. Don't do any work for the next three days. Just stay home and rest."

Seeing Li Xingdao's expression, Li Lai chuckled and said with a faint smile, glancing at him sideways: "Don't be angry. This is just me testing you. If I can push you down today, I'll make sure you have a full meal tomorrow."

"Hey, why are you sitting on the floor? Get up and eat!"

Just then, the aroma of food wafted in, and the graceful Zhang Cui walked in carrying a plate of green vegetables. Seeing Li Xingdao sitting on the ground, she quickly spoke softly.

"snort."

Li Xingdao snorted, pretending to be simple-minded, and angrily went to get a bowl of brown rice, which he then ate in large mouthfuls with cabbage.

"I haven't even said anything to you yet. From now on, you're not allowed to let him use up all his energy on you for the next month."

On the other side, Zhang Cui brought back two bowls of rice and had just put them on the table when she heard Li Lai scolding her.

She immediately lowered her head, her face losing its sparkle, and silently sat down to eat.
