Chapter 14

Seeing him crying and mumbling to himself, Xiao Liu nervously wanted to wake him up.

“Open the door.” Li Tianyan also heard Cheng Qi’s sobbing. When he came back today, he noticed that something was wrong with Cheng Qi’s appearance. This little shuanger shouldn’t cry that easily.

Xiao Liu heard Li Tianyan’s voice and hurriedly got out of bed and opened the door, “Young master, young madam seems to have a nightmare.”

Li Tianyan walked into the room, the oil lamp in the room had been lit by Xiao Liu, and lifted the quilt from Cheng Qi. The person sleeping inside curled up his whole body into a ball, still holding his bundle tightly in his arms. Li Tianyan hesitated for a moment before picking him up from the bed.

Cheng Qi usually looked very thin, he had no weight at all in his hand, just like an empty shell. The so-called life was as thin as paper.

“Young master.” Xiao Liu saw Li Tianyan hugging the young madam and leaving, his eyes full of worry.

“You go to sleep; he will sleep at my place tonight.” After Li Tianyan said that, he took Cheng Qi back to his own room and placed him on the only big bed.

Seeing that the little shuanger was sleeping uneasily, Li Tianyan took out a calming charm and put it on Cheng Qi’s heart, and saw that he gradually calmed down.

Fortunately, Cheng Qi was born with a spiritual body, and the sweat he shed was filled with fragrance; otherwise, Li Tianyan would really not be able to stand being in the same room with him.

Seeing that Cheng Qi had fallen into a deep sleep, Li Tianyan returned to his meditated state with his eyes closed. The only sound left in the dark and quiet room was the long breathing of the person sleeping on the bed.

.

“Sir, look, the nanny has made you some new clothes. Come and try them on to see if they fit.”

Cheng Qi stared blankly at the nanny not far away, smiling at him with a gentle look on her face. Looking down, he found that his body had also shrunk, returning to what he looked like when he was five years old. Without any time to think, Cheng Qi opened his legs and plunged into the woman’s arms.

“Oh, young master, please be careful, don’t fall.” The woman caught the child flying over with a smile, “Come, try on the clothes the nanny made for you.”

Cheng Qi immediately complied. He stood obediently and let the woman in front of him changed his clothes, but his eyes were fixed on her for a moment.

“It’s just right. Young master, do you like it?” After the woman put on Cheng Qi’s new clothes, she looked up and down with a satisfied look on her face.

“I like it.” Cheng Qi nodded, and the scene in front of him suddenly changed. The gentle nanny turned into a beautiful and mean woman. Before he could comprehend what happened, he was slapped to the ground.

“You ugly monster dared to bump into me. If the child in my belly is in trouble, can you afford to pay for it?”

“I didn’t mean it.” Cheng Qi felt a strong sense of fear from the woman. He shook his head desperately, wanting to explain, but then saw his nanny running over and hugging him.

“Our young master is still young and ignorant, madam, please calm down.”

“He is still young, why didn’t he know how to respect people? What do you do for food in this mansion? Come here, teach her a lesson for me.” Meiyan, the woman, commanded several servants arrogantly.

“Don’t hit the nanny. Please don’t hit my nanny. It’s all my fault. It’s my fault, madam. Please let my nanny go!” Cheng Qi didn’t have time to think about what was happening in front of him. He rushed forward and tried to push these people away, but his small body could not do anything at all.

“Please save my nanny. I beg you, don’t hit her anymore.” Cheng Qi looked at the woman on the ground who was vomiting blood and cried heartbreakingly, but everyone just looked at him coldly.

Just when he was desperate, Cheng Qi suddenly felt as if he had fallen into a warm embrace, and everything around him disappeared, including the domineering and beautiful woman, the vicious servant, and… the miserable nanny.

.

When Cheng Qi woke up in the morning, he blinked at the unfamiliar bed, and his mind went blank. It took him a while to realize that it was in Li Tianyan’s room, and he quickly sat up.

“Are you awake?” Li Tianyan put down his pen and said after hearing the movement in the room.

“Young master, why did I sleep here?” Cheng Qi remembered that he slept with Xiao Liu last night.

After putting on his shoes and getting out of bed, he walked over to Li Tianyan. Cheng Qi’s eyes were drawn to the various talismans on the table and the pen lying next to Li Tianyan. It all seemed a bit familiar.@@novelbin@@

“Why do you call me young master again?” Li Tianyan looked at him curiously.

“Because the young master is very powerful and saved Xiao Liu.” Cheng Qi looked at Li Tianyan with admiration. In his heart, Li Tianyan was like a god.

Li Tianyan was amused by his puppy-like eyes and reached out to rub the little shuanger’s head. “Xiao Liu is my servant, so I naturally won’t let anyone bully him.”

“I also don’t want people to bully Xiao Liu, but I can’t do anything.” Cheng Qi pinched his fingers in frustration. Yesterday, he also wanted to save Xiao Liu, but it was of no use.

“To protect a person, you must have enough strength.” Li Tianyan couldn’t help but sigh in his heart when he thought of Cheng Qi’s helpless and desperate look yesterday.

“I know, I will practice martial arts well in the future, and I also want to become as powerful as the young master.” Cheng Qi raised his eyes and said confidently.

“Haha, with such a small body, you still want to practice martial arts. If your limbs are not coordinated, it will be useless no matter how hard you practice.” Li Tianyan bent his fingers and flicked his forehead.

“Ah?” Cheng Qi covered his forehead and looked at Li Tianyan sadly. This person praised him for practicing well yesterday, but it turned out to be a lie.

Looking at Cheng Qi’s accusing eyes, he felt inexplicably guilty. Li Tianyan rubbed his nose before taking out a piece of clear white jade and handing it to him, “Take it.”

It took a while for Cheng Qi to response, but soon the jade in his hand began to change. When he saw the things in his hand seemed to be dyed, his eyes widened in fear. If such a precious thing was soiled, what to do.

“Young master, I… I don’t want it.” Cheng Qi held the jade and dared not let go, but seeing that the entire jade was almost stained, Cheng Qi looked at Li Tianyan for help.

“Don’t move.” Li Tianyan waited for a while and saw that the jade in Cheng Qi’s hand had completely turned lavender, and the color was said to have no impurities before taking it back.

According to the jade test results, Cheng Qi should have a single spiritual root of fire attribute, but unlike him before, people with Yin Yuan body could only have Yin fire even if they were of fire attribute. So, what he learned before was not suitable for Cheng Qi. Li Tianyan thought for a while before taking out a copy of the Secret Fire Burning Life Technique and gave it to him.

“You sit and read it first. If you don’t understand anything, come and ask me.”

“Oh.” Although Cheng Qi was confused, he still took the booklet Li Tianyan gave him and read it quietly. The more he read, the more excited he felt, and he quickly fell into the content in the book.

.

Li Tianyan saw it would take a while for him to finish it, so he simply picked up the talisman pen and continued to draw the talismans. With his current cultivation level, he would definitely not be able to defeat a high-level warrior. He could only find a way to use external forces. Of course, the talismans for life-saving were indispensable.

Li Tianyan had just finished drawing two yellow-ordered talismans and was about to stop and recover his spiritual energy when he suddenly felt the spiritual energy surge in the room. Only then did he realize that Cheng Qi next to him had fallen into an epiphany and even attracted spiritual energy into his body.

Li Tianyan did not expect that Cheng Qi not only had a single spiritual root but also displayed considerable wisdom in cultivation. He had just come into contact with the cultivation technique but could understand the method so quickly without even having time to prepare.

However, Cheng Qi was currently in a trance and obviously could not be interrupted. Li Tianyan could only gently carry him back to the bed and let him sit cross-legged on it.

Only when he finished doing this, Li Tianyan suddenly remembered the situation when he introduced Qi into his body, and immediately regretted that he should have placed Cheng Qi in the cave just now; otherwise, his bed sheets and bedding would have to be changed again.

It was a pity that it was too late now. If he changed the place again, it ould be bad if he accidentally woke up the shuanger. Li Tianyan could only accept his fate and returned to his seat to guard him, lest anyone approach and disturb Cheng Qi.

Seeing Cheng Qi sitting on the bed slowly absorbing spiritual power, Li Tianyan suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of accomplishment. In the past, he didn’t understand why those old guys liked to accept apprentices, and they often fought to steal them. Now he could feel it a little bit.

Cheng Qi’s qualifications were much better than those of the disciples they recruited. If he had the chance to meet those guys in the future, he would definitely be envied by them. The more Li Tianyan thought about it, the prouder he became.
