Chapter 133

Of course, there were no melon seeds for Shi Nian, as they were too hot to eat and he was injured. But he was naturally given a couple of them for his pleasure.

But a lot of fruit was brought.

He looked so calm, which made Ginkgo even more distressed.

Their young master was supposed to be spontaneous and reckless, but when had he ever been so understanding?

Was it because his parents were away, and the king was so unreliable that he had no one to rely on, so he just had to hold on to himself?

Shi Nian has been nursing for four or five days in a row, and is feeling much better and able to go out for a walk.

Although once Ginkgo saw him, he was immediately pushed back into bed.

This was when King Ting arrived.

Lu Bo Ting thought to himself, “King Ting…Miss Yan….? If this King Ting looks like him, then Miss Yan can’t be Yan Nuo, can she?

In this way, reality and fantasy are combined. Even if you feel that something is wrong for a moment, more familiarity will flow out immediately, and it makes it easier for people to indulge in it.

As soon as the news of the King’s arrival reached Shi Nian, he got up and said, “I’ll go and see him.”

“Young master, do you really want to ……”

“I want to see him.” He said, “Go and find me a two-wheeler. I will go in it.”

Ginkgo: “Okay.”

So Shi Nian was pushed to the front hall.

The King looked exactly like Lu Bo Ting, except that his clothes had changed to ancient clothes. However, his appearance and his small gestures were the same. Even Lu Bo Ting would not be able to tell the difference.

When Shi Nian saw him, he froze for a moment, but the latter was already rushing over to him.

“Xiao Shang, how are you?”

“Tsk, still alive.” With this interruption, he returned to his senses, leaned back in the chair, and asked, “What do you want from me? To pay for my medical bills?”

The king froze for a moment before he said, “I… I’ll send you anything you want, as long as you want it, but only if you can forgive me. I know what I did was wrong, but I really couldn’t watch her die. It’s my first child, I can’t…… ”

“But you could watch me die? Why did you come here if you were okay with my death? ” Shi Nian cocked his head and wondered, “Is it because you’re greedy and want everything?”

The King froze, “Xiao Shang, you…  how can you say that? I love you. You should have known that all along… ”

But Shi Nian didn’t want to hear any more of his nonsense, so he said, “Get out.”

The King was completely stunned, “What?”

“I said.” Shi Nian lifted his foot and kicked him hard.

The injured man’s strength was not great, but because it was unexpected, it really made King Ting’s feet go limp and he just fell down.

In an instant, the scene was in chaos.

A large number of people shouting for the king rushed over, and Gingko and the old butler also turned pale. This… is indeed very relieving, but that is the king. He is not someone that can easily be kicked.

The old butler had already stepped forward and said, “Your highness, forgive me. Our young master has been spoiled since he was a child. It was not intentional. ”

The blood on the person’s face was less. It was not only scary, but distressing.

By the time everyone helped King Ting up, his wound had split open and blood was seeping out of his clothes…

“Call the doctor, call the doctor.” Ginkgo shouted.

The king was able to stand firmly and immediately looked over worriedly, “No need to go out and call, I brought the imperial doctor with me.”

As he spoke, he pushed the imperial physician who was behind him, “Give Xiao Nian a quick look.”

However, Shi Nian raised his hand to stop the other side, “No, it’s not going to kill me.”

He took two big breaths. The pain was severe, but his eyebrows became more and more gentle, “I was actually able to walk occasionally in the past two days, but when I came out to see you today, I took a two-wheeled carriage.”

“Don’t say anything. How could this king blame you ……”

Shi Nian interrupted him, “There are two reasons; one is that you are really not worth the effort I have to spend coming over. Two, of course, it is to save energy to kick you. ”

The king’s face paled: “You ……”

“The reason I came out to see you is to make things clear so you won’t have to come back in the future. My parents haven’t returned to Shang Shu Mansion, and my brother is not here. So there is no one for you to look for here.  Every time you come to the Shang Shu Mansion, you have to make my butler and Gingko work. If the Lord wants to play prestige, you can do so in or out of the capital. You don’t have to come to Shangshu mansion. ”

“That’s not what I meant, and you know it.” The king said, “You have always understood me, you ……”

Shi Nian sneered.

Understand?

You don’t understand.

If you really understood, you would have known I’d be disgusted. Not only did you touch her but you even made a baby.

“That’s it! Everyone is a decent person, but I believe that the lord can’t do it! ”

After finishing speaking, Shi Nian waved his hand and said, “I’m not in good health, so it’s inconvenient for me to entertain you. Please excuse me. In addition, Ginkgo, let someone return the things I sorted out during this period to the lord.”

King Ting seemed to want to say something else, but looking at his appearance, as well as the blood seeping from his chest, he still said, “Then I’ll go first. I’ll leave the imperial doctor behind, you ……”

Shi Nian didn’t say anything at the time. But as soon as the king left, he immediately asked the imperial doctor to leave as well.

He did not even want the doctor, and he went back to administer the medicine himself.

Ginkgo couldn’t handle him at all, and the butler also had a bitter expression on his face, “Young master, you can do without the imperial doctor. After all, he was invited by the king, but we should still let the doctor take a look. It will cost a little money.”

“It’s not much of an injury; I can handle it myself.” Shi Nian wrapped himself up again, with the usual nice butterfly knot, and then put a light outer shirt over it.

Only then did he ask, “Did he take everything with him?”

“Yes, he did.” The old butler said.

As for the king’s reaction, he didn’t say anything about it to Shi Nian. He felt that their young master had easily let it go, so it’s best not to mention it.

“Don’t be so impulsive next time.” The old housekeeper said bitterly,  “After all, that’s a king , and you’re also injured. Now the wound that had finally closed, opened up again!”

“If my wound hadn’t split, would things have been so easy?” Shi Nian snorted.

“After all, as you said, that’s a king.”

The old butler was paralyzed.

Shi Nian had already waved his hand, “Forget about it, go do what you have to do. Have someone push me out into the courtyard, I’ll get some sun. ”

Because he was favored, Shi Nian’s yard was bigger than his elder brother’s and second brother’s, and there was a grape trellis on one side. It was the time when grapes were ripe and they were handed out in clusters.

There was also a swing at the bottom, so he walked over and sat on it.

A bird flew over and was about to land on the top of the grapevine when it saw Shi Nian.

Then it changed direction and landed in his arms.

He thought it was a coincidence, but he didn’t expect to see a flock of little birds gathering and chattering away.

Little star who was following behind him was stunned.

He hadn’t recovered from his injury yet, so Shi Nian didn’t want him to come over, but he would still drag his leg over and squat.

He said he didn’t feel comfortable not watching him.

So Shi Nian left him alone.

“Young master, are all these birds here to see you?” He said, shocked.

Shi Nian reached out and teased the one in his arms, listening to the birds chirping as a few thin rays of sunlight streamed down through the vines. …..

“Not bad for a phoenix.” The demon lord said while drinking tea outside: “Even in the illusionary realm, he is still capable of this.”

Lu Bo Ting ignored him.

Because Little star inside asked, “Young master, have you really let it go?”

“Otherwise?” Shi Nian said. ” It’s just a pain to let go now. But if he is indulged, there will be similar disgusting things in the future, and I have few lives to waste on him.”

“Even if there were, who would want to be miserable every day when there could be happier days?”

Little Star: “But, you’re not…”

“The world is not a place where you can’t live without someone, nor is there a relationship that can last a lifetime without being worked on. You don’t have to keep clinging onto every one that ends because it only proves you were not suitable. ”

Shi Nian said to Little Star, but it was as if he was convincing himself, “Since you are not suitable for each other, there is no need to force it.”

“My parents gave birth to me to enjoy the blessings of life, and I have been held in the palm of their hands since I was a child, so there is no reason why I have to suffer so much when I fall in love.” Shi Nian said, and then he laughed. “I almost died. If I hadn’t been stabbed, I would have given him a stab. When did he get to decide on my life? ”

Outside the mirage world,

The demon lord said, ” He is very calm and rational. I studied him after I found out something was wrong. I thought he was so cold towards Ji Yiqing because he was not the real Shi Nian, so he had no feelings. Now it seems that if he did have feelings, he would still have been able to break them off simply and cleanly. ”

“It seems that your face, and all the similarities in your little habits, didn’t give him the slightest hint of nostalgia.”

Lu Bo Ting: “One must first love oneself before one can love another. Besides, can that king be forgiven for such behavior? ”

“If Shi Nian behaves like that, are you not afraid that one day he will give up on you so neatly?”

“If I am good to him, he will not give up.” Lu Bo Ting suddenly understood, “You deliberately left me here to watch, just to put a thorn in our relationship.”

The demon lord did not deny it.

He picked up the chess piece next to him and slowly put it down while saying, “This is a kind of yang plot, but even if you know, who can be unbothered seeing this scene?”

“Imagine the day you make some mistake; he won’t ever forgive you and won’t give you a chance…”

“I think it’s good that he’s like that.” said Lu Bo Ting, “It prevents him from going through a lot of harm.”

“Even if the person he is cold to is you?”

“Even if it was me.”

“I would prefer that no one hurt him more than anything else, not even me.”

The demon lord’s hand paused slightly.

Lu Bo Ting suddenly asked, “What would it take for him to come out?”

“When it is completely impossible to be with King Ting!” The demon lord said.

Lu Bo Ting’s gaze at him changed instantly. “No wonder he mentioned something when we came here, saying that there is a kind of demon among the demon race that is very good at playing with people’s hearts.”

If Shi Nian was repeatedly heartless towards the king, anyone else in Lu Bo Ting’s shoes would have empathized with the king. After all, many people in the world are always a little more forgiving of themselves.

So, even if Shi Nian came out, it would be impossible for their relationship to be the same again.

But once Shi Nian’s heart goes soft, he will never come out again, and that ending is even worse.

This was a trap set by the self-proclaimed demon lord, who was dying and could only set this up in a hurry.

It was hard to imagine how big a game he had played when he had all the time in the world, like the hundreds of years in the cultivation world and had reached such a high position.

Time seemed to flow normally on the inside, but to those on the outside, it would have been faster had it not been for the presence of both Shi Nian and King Ting.

As the months passed, every day was more or less the same for Shi Nian.

He also learned to write and draw, and even got curious enough to learn embroidery from a young maid.

But the embroidery was not very good.

Lu Bo Ting said, ” He should be able to do the skills he already has!”

“It depends on what it is. Those interstellar high technologies naturally won’t show up without the conditions. But, if he knew something like calligraphy before, he really doesn’t need to learn it again.”

The demon lord thought he was talking about this, but he had no idea that Lu Bo Ting was referring to embroidery.

Some time ago, when Shi Nian reclaimed the space bag to exchange it for the space steel, he had taken it for a day and returned it with a phoenix feather embroidered on its surface.

The feather was vividly embroidered…

In the formation, the eldest brother and his parents also returned to the mansion with the holy carriage. Shi Nian was completely healed, but was still hugged by Mrs. Shang Shu as she wept bitterly.

The king’s side, of course, was not at rest. There was another incident in the palace, and the baby with Miss Yan did not survive.

When Mrs. Shang Shu heard this, even if her son went on a hunger strike, even if it was over the king, he could not go to such a wolf’s den.

So she began to spread the word to find a good marriage partner for Shi Nian.

King Ting, who had been quiet for a few months, could not sit still.

From the perspective of Lu Bo Ting, this king only thought that Shi Nian was angry and was waiting for his anger to subside.

He never thought……

Contrary to what the demon lord expected, the more Lu Bo Ting looked at it, the more he realized that the person inside was not even remotely similar to him, except for his small habits of appearance.

He would never do such a thing or be so blindly confident.

“Things will be different the moment Shi Nian is a little softer.” The demon lord immediately said, as if he knew what he was thinking.

This was a true imitation of most of Lu Bo Ting’s characters, but with the addition of the scumbag side.

Once Shi Nian relaxes, this King Ting will be considerate and thoughtful. Of course, after a while, the bad things would continue to happen, and so on.

“The more he suffers, the more powerful the formation will be. And the more he tolerates and endures, the more he becomes accustomed to it. Then he will be trapped in this cycle forever, never to come out again. ”

“It’s a pity. “The demon lord thought to himself, “I’m afraid this formation might not be able to trap that little phoenix.”

And sure enough, the king searched for Shi Nian several times, but he didn’t even see him face to-face.

Finally, he took advantage of Shi Nian’s trip to the lake and intercepted him.

Shi Nian sighed and said, “Your Majesty, I thought I had made myself clear last time.”

“I didn’t agree. I just wanted you to calm down.” The King took two steps forward and said in a slower voice, “Besides, Xiao Shang, there is no young man in the capital who is as good as me. Not to mention, do you dare guarantee that when you are with them, they will not make the same choice when they encounter the same situation back then? ”

Shi Nian laughed. He did not even say that he had no intention of getting married.

Occasionally, he always got the feeling that he liked someone, and that someone was definitely not King Ting. However, upon reflection, he found no trace of such a person in his life…

Seeing that King Ting was still staring at him, Shi Nian didn’t hold back and said directly, “I won’t be anxious over something that hasn’t happened. But if it does happen, I naturally won’t pretend it hasn’t happened. ”

Shi Nian’s tone did not change at all: “Once bitten by a snake and fearing a rope is not my character. I have to try it to find out, right?”

“Xiao Shang, how can you say that?” The king realized his tone was wrong and softened again, coaxing, “Xiao Shang, just forgive me. I promise there won’t be a next time. And seeing you hurt, the pain in my heart was no less than yours…..”

Shi Nian just looked at him quietly until he saw that King Ting had nothing more to say.

“What? What’s wrong? ”

“Nothing.” Shi Nian said, “It’s just that suddenly, I’m wondering how on earth I could have looked at you back then when you are obviously so ugly.”

His expression was a little confused when he said this, and it was obvious that he didn’t mean to attack King Ting, but was genuinely surprised.

King Ting: “……”

“You, what did you say?”

The demon lord outside was also in shock, “He actually thinks your face is ugly?”

Lu Bo Ting said solemnly, “So what? When we first met, he said that I didn’t fit his liking. We could get together not because of my face, but because of my personality. ”

The demon lord opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something else, but changed the subject at the end.

“Later I will send you into the Mirage world too, and I can tell you in advance that you will still be a scumbag in there. Shi Shang Shu will stay by your side suffering because he loves you and can’t let you go, and you won’t be able to come out until you remember it all yourself. ”

“Of course, I will give Shi Nian on the outside a choice. He can choose to kill you at any time.”

“There’s that routine again,” thought Lu Bo Ting.

And he finally knew why the other man hadn’t continued his earlier conversation. Because the Shi Nian on the inside had begun to really let go of King Ting and was gradually remembering what had happened outside. He had already broken out of the formation.

Between one entry and one exit, the two could not even exchange a word before Lu Bo Ting had already entered the formation.

Shi Nian looked at the demon lord and said, “If it were up to me, I would have changed my attack strategy a while back.”

“If I were given some time to get to know you better, perhaps I would have changed it.” The demon lord sighed. “Unfortunately,…”

“But even if you could come out, he may not.”

The scenes inside were really scum attacking and bitching, and Shi Nian suspected that this guy had added every dog blood plot he could think of.

“If you really can’t see yourself being so pathetic, you can choose to kill the man who brought you pain. He shouldn’t be able to get out anyway. Even with the dragon blood in him, it’s simply impossible to remember what’s going on out here. You know, he’ll gradually sink and it’s extremely hard to think…”

“Even if he finds something wrong, he won’t look into it because life is too good. Am I right? ” Shi Nian said this and pressed the button that had been reserved for him.

“You, how could you do that?” For the first time since their meeting, the Demon lord showed an unbelievable expression. “You actually…”

“Didn’t you want me to choose between killing the person I love the most with my own hands or watching him abuse me for the rest of my life?” Shi Nian said, “You clearly wanted to see me kill him, and have me watch him slowly walk to his death. There’s no other way, is there? ”

“Then you shouldn’t do either, and not so soon! I was simply wrong for once. You…you little phoenix…are simply more cold-blooded and heartless than we….wait! How could it be…Lu Bo Ting…How come he’s not dead?”

Looking at a shocked demon lord, Shi Nian kindly explained.

“You know that I am a phoenix, but do you not know that the phoenix’s specialty is rebirth by fire? In reality, it is very difficult to revive a person, but this kind of formation is not reality after all.  The rules are not so strict, so if I want to bring him back to life, he can naturally live.”

“Impossible, even the phoenix has no such ability.” The demon lord stood up, “I have never heard of it.”

Shi Nian: “Oh, I created it myself.”

When Lu Bo Ting came out, the space bag he was carrying scattered into powder.

Its contents fell all over the floor.

Only then did he realize that even though they appeared to be wearing other clothes in the formation and had not brought anything into it, the things they originally wore were still there.

It was because he clearly saw the phoenix feather embroidered on the space pouch burn to ashes.

“Shi Nian, thank you!”

Thank you for your wholeheartedness towards me and for preparing the back way early on.

Thank you for walking with me all the way.

Healing my spiritual sea, allowing me to avoid the Wu family’s assassination and even activating my ancestral bloodline by accident. Thank you for liking me, you who is so powerful.
