Chapter 413 :I just... broke through!?
Lu Chengwen looked up at her.
After a few days, Lu Chengwen's stubble had grown out, his hair was a mess, and honestly, he wasn't handsome anymore.
But Qi Meishao secretly glanced at him, and her heart still fluttered.
Her heart pounded uncontrollably!
"No, no, I'm not... that's not what I meant..."
Qi Meishao stammered: "I mean... you... these few days... the ground is cold..."
Lu Chengwen rolled his eyes: "Letting me get so close to you, aren't you afraid I'll rape you?"
Qi Meishao slowly shook her head: "You won't. If you wanted to, you would have long ago..."
She couldn't continue after that.
Lu Chengwen thought so too.
[Why is she so comfortable on the bed? While I'm soaking on this damp ground every day? Do I owe her or deserve this?]
[I'm getting on the bed, so what?]
Thinking this, Lu Chengwen stood up, swaggered over to the bed, and sat down nonchalantly.
Qi Meishao lowered her head and shrank towards the corner of the wall. Lu Chengwen ignored her and closed his eyes to rest.
"Lu Chengwen..." Qi Meishao's voice was like a mosquito's buzz.
"What now?" Lu Chengwen was full of anger every day, every second he was here.
"Thank you."
Lu Chengwen was very surprised, turning back to look at her: "What do you mean?"
Qi Meishao looked up, her beautiful eyes meeting Lu Chengwen's: "Thank you. Actually... if you wanted to force things... I... couldn't resist either."
"What kind of person do you take me for?" Lu Chengwen scolded: "Me! Lu Chengwen! Star entrepreneur! The richest man in Xuecheng! If I like women, I can find them myself, pursue them, or at worst, be a simp! I will absolutely not bully you. Put your heart at ease."
Qi Meishao pouted aggrievedly: "I just wanted to thank you, why are you so fierce..."
Qi Meishao began sobbing.
Lu Chengwen felt a pang of sadness.
[Hey, why am I being fierce with her? Ultimately, she's the one who should be angry.]
[Inexplicably captured by a madman and thrown into a deep well, with a beast like me next to her, how could she not be afraid?]
[We're both... fallen into the same deep well, no need to make the atmosphere so stiff.]
Thinking this, Lu Chengwen softened his expression: "I was angry with that old man, not targeting you. Don't cry. Actually, although he himself was confused, if you really trace it back, you were actually implicated because of me. I'm sorry."
Qi Meishao couldn't believe it. So Lu Chengwen is actually this reasonable?
"Hmm..." Lu Chengwen thought for a moment: "Anyway, there's nothing to do while staying here. How about I tell you a story?"
Qi Meishao thought for a moment, then nodded.
"The Deer and the Cauldron (鹿鼎记 - Lu Ding Ji), have you heard of it?"
Qi Meishao shook her head.
"A martial arts story, very exciting."
Lu Chengwen began telling her the story of The Deer and the Cauldron.
Lu Chengwen had read quite a few web novels, especially the early classic martial arts novels.
Lu Chengwen was very good at telling stories. He talked about Wei Xiaobao bluffing and swindling everywhere, cleverly navigating between various factions to rise rapidly, manipulating everything.
Qi Meishao smiled happily, looking at Lu Chengwen, her eyes almost brimming with water.
When he talked about Wei Xiaobao chasing girls, especially grabbing them casually on the big bed to dote on, Qi Meishao blushed, didn't interrupt, just listened intently, her heart pounding loudly.
When he talked about Wei Xiaobao's master being killed, and Wei Xiaobao furiously beating Zheng Keshuang, Qi Meishao's eyes also glistened with tears, emotionally stirred.
Just like that, telling the story of The Deer and the Cauldron took a whole day.
This time when they met, Lu Chengwen immediately yelled, "I need to use the toilet!"
The smell down here was unbearable!
Ming Disha chuckled, took Lu Chengwen and Qi Meishao up separately, letting them relieve themselves in the wild fields.
Afterward, Lu Chengwen seized the opportunity, trying all sorts of persuasion, but unfortunately, Ming Disha stuck to one point.
If you don't turn this girl into a top-quality cauldron, don't even think about leaving!
In our sect, at this age, still at Zhongsimen, only you! You are the shame of the sect, you must level up no matter what!
In the following days, Lu Chengwen and Qi Meishao began to communicate more.
When Lu Chengwen had nothing to do, he told her stories. Having read so many web novels and martial arts novels, his storytelling was colorful and captivating.
Qi Meishao listened, completely engrossed.
Lu Chengwen often mentioned two great heroes, one named Jin Yong, the other Gu Long, saying these Jianghu heroes all came from their pens.
Qi Meishao felt sad for the love between Yang Guo and Xiao Longnü, and was moved by the spirit of Guo Jing and his wife serving the country and the people;
Qi Meishao felt sorry for Li Xunhuan's loneliness and kindness, his feelings for friends and lovers were so sincere and moving, always sacrificing himself to fulfill others...
Sometimes, Qi Meishao would feel very sad, suddenly wanting Lu Chengwen to hold her.
Felt it would provide a sense of security, belonging, and happiness.
But her mouth moved several times, ultimately unable to say it out loud due to embarrassment.
As their communication increased, they became more familiar.
Lu Chengwen sometimes joked with Qi Meishao, making her pretty face flush red, unable to suppress her smile.
Ming Disha saw this wasn't right!
This kid Lu Chengwen is playing games with me!
He firmly believes his Shifu will come save him!
Thus, this fellow secretly added something to the food.
After Lu Chengwen ate and drank his fill, he (Ming Disha) poked his head out grinning:
"Kid, don't say Shishu doesn't look after you! There was medicine in the food just now. It's fine for women, but for men, hahaha! You can't avoid being the bridegroom now, enjoy life, no need to be polite!"
Lu Chengwen and Qi Meishao stood shocked on the spot.
Lu Chengwen didn't even have the strength to curse anymore.
These days he had understood, it was useless.
Thus, the strategic mutual trust painstakingly built with Qi Meishao instantly collapsed.
Qi Meishao was tense to the extreme, Lu Chengwen was drenched in cold sweat.
The drug's effects quickly began to manifest. Lu Chengwen turned red all over, face flushed, neck thick, breathing heavy. His mind uncontrollably kept thinking about matters between men and women.
The warmth in the bathroom with Leng Qingqiu, the exchange in the car with Chen Mengyun, the repeated battles with Xu Xuejiao, the casual play with Jiang Shihan, the various tricks with Luo Shiyin...
Even Li Meiqin, Zhang Shen'er, Xia Ying... even Xiao Houzi began to become strangely alluring in his mind.
It seemed all the beautiful women he had ever met were tempting him, trying every means to make him shed his protective shell.
Lu Chengwen absolutely did not want Ming Disha to succeed.
Who knew what tricks he would pull after falling into his scheme.
Moreover, if he made a move on Qi Meishao now, the harem was really too big!
Seven days a week, spending one day with each wasn't even enough.
He already enjoyed the blessings of many wives; there was really no need to add Qi Meishao to the mix.
Long Aotian will upgrade! Long Aotian will hate me to death!
If I start an all-out war with Long Aotian now, I definitely can't beat him. I can't spend the rest of my life on Qixing Feng, living under Shifu's care, right?
"Chengwen-ge, you..."
Lu Chengwen didn't dare look at Qi Meishao. Head pressed against the wall, he pointed a finger at her, voice hoarse: "Don't talk! Don't say a single word!"
"Ah—!"
Lu Chengwen gritted his teeth and endured, punching the wall. Qi Meishao trembled with fear, tears streaming down non-stop.
Lu Chengwen really couldn't bear it anymore. An idea popped into his head!
[Knock myself out! Right! Once asleep, I won't have so many messy thoughts!]
Lu Chengwen crawled frantically on the ground, finally found a rock, felt it, turned the flat side towards himself, bang.
He didn't even feel pain!
Qi Meishao looked at Lu Chengwen, suddenly feeling, this person... he's so manly!
Lu Chengwen had no idea Qi Meishao was starting to feel attracted; he gritted his teeth and hit his head with the rock.
At this time, the drug's effect had spread throughout his body. Lu Chengwen cursed through gritted teeth: "Go away! You bunch of demons! All of you go away!"
He seemed to have gone mad, hands pressed against the wall, suddenly leaned back, and slammed himself towards the wall.
But he didn't hit the wall; he hit a fragrant, soft arm.
Qi Meishao winced in pain, tears covering her face: "Don't, don't do this... hurting yourself."
Lu Chengwen tried hard not to see her, not to hear her voice, not to think of her existence.
But at this moment, she was close by, with a faint feminine fragrance.
Lu Chengwen couldn't control himself anymore. His mind was instantly occupied by madness. He let out a low growl, grabbed Qi Meishao, and pushed her all the way onto the bed.
Qi Meishao was terrified: "Don't, Chengwen-ge, don't! I beg you, please let me go, you're not like this, you're not like this... ah..."
...
Several shichen (ancient Chinese time units, approx. 2 hours each) later, Lu Chengwen sat in the corner, dejected.
[I am a beast.]
[How could this happen...]
Qi Meishao lay on the bed, licking her lips, looking at the opening of the well shaft, very calm.
She took a deep breath, slowly exhaled.
Turned her head to look at the very frustrated man, his forehead and hands covered in dried blood crusts, and actually smiled.
Tears flowed down.
Perhaps, this is fate?
Beyond her imagination, Qi Meishao wasn't angry. Not only was she not angry, she actually felt somewhat relieved.
For so many days, she had feared this happening, and in the end, it still happened.
And she firmly believed Lu Chengwen didn't do it intentionally.
The worst person was that Nine-Lives Demon Fox Ming Disha.
Right! He was the worst! Otherwise, Chengwen-ge wouldn't treat me like this.
Looking at Lu Chengwen's dejected appearance.
Qi Meishao turned over, looked at him, and said calmly: "Don't be sad, I don't blame you."
Hearing her voice, Lu Chengwen felt incomparably guilty: "Don't say it."
"I know this wasn't your intention. Neither of us had a choice."
"Don't say it."
Qi Meishao cried: "I know you don't like me, the one you like is Shiyin-jie. I'm not as pretty as Shiyin-jie, not as charming, I'm just..."
"Don't say anymore!" Lu Chengwen looked up: "I'm sorry."
...
Meanwhile.
Long Aotian was hiding in a cave recuperating, suddenly opened his eyes wide.
Looked at his hands: "This... I just... broke through!?"
