CH 072 Sea, Land, Air

In the huge room, fragmented moans could be heard. The marble floor was littered with discarded clothing. The light purple gauze bed drapes swished gently. There were two bodies on the bed currently locked in an embrace, limbs entangled.

One hand tightly grasped the bed sheets, its owner enduring the powerful offense from the man above. Don’t know how much time had passed but following the last fierce impact, the man on top finally pulled away, breathing still unsteady. He slowly lay on the side, his whole body stretched out, showing off that firm and strong body without any scruples.

Wei Di looked at Nie Bufan lying next to him, and stroked his black hair that was spread out on the pillows and bed sheets below them.

“You have nothing to explain to me?” Wei Di asked.

Nie Bufan turned his head and asked, “Explain what?”

“Don’t pretend to be stupid.” Wei Di flicked his forehead and continued, “Who is that man named ‘Tai Bai’? How did you meet?”

“Didn’t I tell you? He is my long-lost little brother.”

Wei Di hooked his chin and raised his eyebrows as he said, “Little brother? Fine, I will regard him as your little brother for now. Then, how did he take you out of this manor?”

Nie Bufan blinked but did speak.

Wei Di guessed: “Looking at your wet state, obviously you had been in the water beforehand. The lakes and pools in this manor are indeed connected to the outside, but the distance is very far. Even for me, it would be not easy to pass through smoothly, right?”

He glanced at Nie Bufan sideways, without disguising his suspicion: “With your ability, how did you do it?”

Nie Bufan exclaimed indignantly: “What kind of look is that? What’s wrong with my ability? Don’t underestimate me, I just like to be low-key, no matter how great the ability is, one shouldn’t so easily show off in front of people.”

“Haha.” Wei Di was delighted. He pinched his ears, teasing, “I didn’t expect that the pet I raise has such hidden depths.”

“Don’t treat me like a pet!” Nie Bufan said sternly, “I will bite you!”

Wei Di smiled, supporting his chin with one hand and stroking his lips with the other, saying in a teasing manner: “Come, let me see if your teeth are good enough?”

Nie Bufan imitated a tiger pouncing on prey, but in Wei Di’s eyes, he looked more like a snarling squirrel, round and cute. He couldn’t help but lean over and kiss his cheek.

Interest once again peaked, he was about to take the next step when a hand pushed on his face and Nie Bufan said: “By the way, how did you find out that I was missing? Logically speaking, I shouldn’t have disturbed anyone when I ran away. Isn’t your speed a little too fast? You seem pretty sure that I was no longer in the manor, rather I have already escaped.”

Wei Di smiled and said meaningfully: “You indeed didn’t alarm anyone, but do you know, it is never people who are responsible for Dongsheng Shangfu’s night guard, but cats.”

“Cats?” Nie Bufan understood. According to rumors, Wei Di loved to keep cats. But it turned out that it was not just a personal preference. He actually trained cats as night watchers. No wonder he was so unhappy when he saw his cat being intimidated by his chickens.

Thinking of this, Nie Bufan once again thought of the people and animals in Chicken Nest Village. Why haven’t they come yet?

His thoughts flew and he didn’t notice that Wei Di started to misbehave again, his callused big hand stroking his back.

Nie Bufan seemed to suddenly return to his senses, grabbed his hand and asked, “Uncle Wei, when will you let me go back to the village?”

Wei Di paused and said mildly, “What is there to miss in such a poor and desolate place? Or is it Zhang Junshi you miss?”

“What poor and desolate place?” Nie Bufan automatically filtered the second question and retorted with dissatisfaction, “No matter how rich and beautiful here is, it can’t compare to my chicken nest. Even tethered birds still miss the old forest, let alone a chicken farmer like myself who is content with my lot. I would rather remain honest and poor in the mountains and rivers than rot in prosperity.”

Wei Di declined to comment on his “contentment with his lot”. However, he didn’t expect that he could say such profound words.

But no matter how good his words were, he still won’t release him back to the village.

“I won’t let you leave, you are mine.” Wei Di took him into his arms, and as if swearing an oath, “I won’t hand you over to anyone.”

“Then if they come and find me, what are you going to do?”

Wei Di naturally knew who Nie Bufan’s “they” referred to. In fact, there was news from his subordinates that Li Yi and the others were already on their way here, and there was probably less than a day or two before he had to face their censure.

Wei Di smiled confidently: “They are not my opponents.”

Whether it was martial arts or influence and power, he had an absolute advantage.

Even Si Chenyu couldn’t use the status of a prince to force him to let go, unless the four big families put pressure on him at the same time. However, that kind of situation was almost impossible.

Nie Bufan couldn’t stand seeing him looking so arrogant and invincible, so he couldn’t help but stretch out his hand to pull at his face. He harrumphed, “Don’t be too proud, be careful of the ship capsizing in a ditch!”

“It’s not that I’m proud, rather I really can’t think of anything in this world that can make my ship capsize.” Wei Di spread his hands with a smile.

Tsk, this was egotism to a certain level.

Nie Bufan pulled all the quilts to his side, rolled twice, and wrapped himself into a cocoon, leaving only the back of his head facing Wei Di.

Wei Di smiled and said, “You are the only one who dares to be so unrestrained and without scruples in front of me. Are you really not afraid of me punishing you in a fit of anger?”

Nie Bufan sullenly said: “I am afraid of pain, so you don’t have to use torture, I would submit immediately and do anything you like.”

“Anything?” Wei Di sneered. “If you can guarantee that five out of the ten sentences you speak are true, I would be extremely thankful.”

He was certain that even if he really did use torture, this guy could still anger others to death despite barely conscious.

“Hmmph.” Nie Bufan quietly raised a middle finger under the quilt.

“Don’t be angry, come here.” Wei Di patted the place beside him.

Not only did Nie Bufan not move closer, he rolled farther away instead.

Wei Di pursed his lips and stretched out his arms to wrap around the human cocoon, pulling it forcefully to his side.

Nie Bufan was rolled over uncontrollably, but when Wei Di let go, he rolled back once again.

They went back and forth several times, just like frying dough sticks, Wei Di’s playfulness was aroused and he happily rolled him around.

Nie Bufan was finally dizzy, and became angry: “Are you that immature? How old are you, still playing this boring game!”

“Don’t you like to play?” Wei Di was in a good mood, lifting a leg to press him down, and bickered with him in great interest.

Nie Bufan thought to himself, if outsiders saw that their majestic and respected Wulin Leader had such a stupid side, would they become a complete skeptic from now on?

So it was said that people always have hidden alternative personalities, they just needed to be activated.

“After these few busy days pass, how about I take you around the city?” Wei Di suggested, playing with his hair.

“Sure.” Nie Bufan turned around and said seriously: “But don’t blame me for eating and drinking big and spending a lot of money.”

“Haha, spend however much you want.” Wei Di rubbed his head and said, “Okay, I’ll let you go today. Rest.”

Nie Bufan curled his lips in disdain. Saying “let you go” after having already eaten his fill. He had seen shameless people but he had never seen such a shameless person before!

Forget it, compared to himself, Wei Di’s shamelessness was not worth mentioning.

The next day, Nie Bufan finished freshening up and asked about Tai Bai’s whereabouts.

Today, Wei Third was on duty. He replied from a long distance away: “The guest is temporarily living in the south courtyard.”

“Then I’ll go have a look.”

Wei Third immediately stopped him: “Master has an order, without his permission, you can’t see him alone.”

“Then you go and bring him over to see me.”

This…..was there any difference?

The corners of Wei Third’s mouth twitched and he said patiently: “Master’s meaning is that you two are not allowed to meet alone. Whether you go to see him or he comes to see you!”

“If you are here, then it’s not meeting alone.” Nie Bufan said with a smile, “If you are still worried, you can call over a few more brothers. Let’s have a tea party or something.”

Wei Third fought a cold shiver, and shook his head again and again: “Gongzi, please find other entertainment, don’t make it difficult for us subordinates.”

“Ai, life is really lonely as snow.” Nie Bufan sighed, looking up at the sky.

At this moment, his eyes suddenly lit up, having noticed a familiar figure standing on a tree branch in the courtyard. The figure possessed colorful feathers and a proud posture. It was obviously a chicken, but it just had to pretend to be a bird. It was the chicken that loved gossip the most in Chicken Nest Village, Hero (parrot).

Soon after, he saw a chicken head popping up from the soil in a corner of the wall, looking around sneakily before retracting back into the soil.

This was the chicken who was most good at drilling holes and best at stealing treasures, Golden Armor (mole).

Nie Bufan narrowed his eyes. If he was not mistaken, the chicken pretending to be a wild duck swimming in the lake was exactly the chicken who loved to tease/play with shrimps, Doll (otter).

Nie Bufan was a bit blind to facial features, often unable to remember human faces, but he could accurately distinguish all the chickens in Chicken Nest Village.

His heart jumped with excitement, but he remained extremely calm on the surface. At a leisurely pace he walked slowly towards the garden. Looking around subtly, he confirmed that the sea, land and air vanguards had all successfully breached the cat cordon and infiltrated Dongsheng Shangfu.

His comrades had arrived one after another, and finally he didn’t have to fight alone anymore. He really wanted to shout out loud: Comrades, you have worked hard!

Nie Bufan rushed back to his room and closed the door behind him with a slam. He looked at the window, and as expected he saw a chicken lying lazily on the window sill with a monkey sitting on top.

“Wukong, Lady Flower!” Nie Bufan rushed over excitedly to greet the little monkey who jumped towards him.

He couldn’t help but kiss each of them twice: “I really missed you guys to death!”

The little monkey hopped around on his shoulders, and Lady Flower also gave him face and clucked a few times.

“How many of you came?” Nie Bufan asked.

Faithful dog Lady Flower naturally couldn’t answer him, but the little monkey counted its fingers seriously, first stretching out four fingers, and then stretching out five fingers.

“Fifty?”

The little monkey blinked its eyes and nodded affirmatively.

“Haha, awesome!” Nie Bufan pumped a fist, “Finally there is hope to return home, I no longer have to be afraid of a certain cute creature! Let them see the strength of our Chicken Nest Village!”
