Chapter 15
Ning Ran covered his mouth and coughed non-stop, half of it was because he was too embarrassed, and the other half was because he really didn't sleep well last night, he seemed to have caught a cold.
Seeing that he was coughing badly, Mr. Bai finally stopped asking any more questions, got up and poured a cup of tea for Ning Ran and placed it on the table in front of him, Ning Ran grabbed the small teacup and drank it down, finally calmed down his breathing.
He recovered his breath, looked up and saw that Mr. Bai was looking at him with his usual calm eyes, but under that calmness, Ning Ran actually felt a trace of concern.
As far as the few times he had been in contact with Mr. Bai, he found that Mr. Bai's personality was quiet and calm. At this moment, seeing that Mr. Bai seemed to care about him, Ning Ran somehow felt a sense of relief in his heart.
Ning Ran waved his hand: "It's okay, it's okay, thank you Mr. Bai for your concern, this is just the root of my old illness."
Mr. Bai still looked serious.
Ning Ran said with a smile: "It's already hurt, but it doesn't matter...we are Danxiu!"
Ning Ran's face was still a little sickly flushed because of the cough just now, but when he mentioned alchemy, his whole body glowed with glory. He reached out and patted his chest: "Whatever the injury is, as long as there is still a breath, You can continue your life!"
Mr. Bai seemed to be amused by him, and he curled the corner of his lower lip very lightly; it seemed that this was the first time Mr. Bai smiled in front of Ning Ran, and Ning Ran was stunned for a while.
But it's not because he has a good smile, but because...
The curvature of that smile seemed somewhat similar to that of a man who always smiled loosely with his lips hooked.
Ning Ran was still in a trance, and Mr. Bai's words awakened Ning Ran again: "I have called you these days and haven't contacted me as frequently as before, and many details have been mentioned in one stroke. I asked you to come here to confirm whether you are well. The second is to check some details with you."
"Ok."
Ning Ran cheered up and checked with Mr. Bai what had happened these days. What Mr. Bai was most interested in was the selection contest held by the Demon Realm; When Qin Budu was persuaded to come down, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Ning Ran told Mr. Bai everything he knew about the selection contest, including how Qin Budu changed the format before and after the selection contest, and why Qin Budu changed the format of the selection contest he guessed.
Mr. Bai pondered for a long time, but he said something that shocked Ning Ran.
"How do you know that Qin Budu is telling the truth? He is a devil." Mr. Bai looked at Ning Ran calmly: "If he just said these nice things to convince you, he is still preparing for the next attack on the mortal world." Are you getting ready?"
"This..." Ning Ran was tongue-tied.
Mr. Bai tapped the table twice with his slender fingers, and gave Ning Ran an instruction: "After you go back, find a way to get closer to Qin Budu, stay by his side as long as possible, and observe more."
"understood."
After a burst of dizziness.Ning Ran returned to Demon Realm, her own room.
Ning Ran patted his face. He originally planned to take a bath and sleep on the bed all day, but with Mr. Bai's mission and this understanding, Ning Ran didn't dare to delay any more, and put himself on his body. After throwing a clean clothes formula, he went directly to Qin Budu's room next door.
He knocked on the door and heard Qin Budu's voice: "Come in."
Ning Ran pushed open the door, and was taken aback after seeing the scene inside the room clearly.
Qin Budu seemed to have just taken a shower, with a naked upper body, a towel on his shoulders, and his fiery red hair was wetly scattered behind him.
The moment he saw Qin Budu's body, Ning Ran uncontrollably recalled some scenes from last night——
Qin Budu knelt on both sides of his body, panting slightly, took off his shirt, beads of sweat slid down his chest...
Ning Ran's face turned red with a "chuckle".
"I thought you would definitely sleep until the afternoon." Qin Budu picked up a small stack of documents from the table and casually flipped through them: "What's the matter? What do you need from me?"
Ning Ran threw two Qingjing pills into his mouth with lightning speed, with a serious face on his face: "I have something to discuss with Your Majesty."
"what's up?"
"It's like this. I've been in Demon Realm for almost half a month, but I ate and drank my lord's food, and even took up a piece of your land to farm, but I haven't been able to do anything for you. Poor Xiu always feels sorry in his heart."
Ning Ran was beating his heart, but his face was full of calm: "So, Poor Cultivator intends to repay your favor by your side from today! Your Majesty, I will pour water for you when you are thirsty, and I will give you water when you are hungry." Jiacai, I'll tell you a joke if you're bored!"
Qin Budu: ...
The mortal cultivators who come to the Demon Realm, even Fu Yiju who has a bad brain, know that Ning Ran is suspicious, let alone Qin Budu. At this moment, Ning Ran suddenly announced loudly that he would follow him to "repay his favor"...
Who would believe that there is no ghost?
Qin Budu couldn't help laughing lowly: "Ning Ran, are you stupid to think of yourself as the deity?"
Ning Ran pretended to be stupid, and tilted his head innocently: "Ah? What does your lord mean by this?"
Qin Budu recalled Ning Ran's words just now: "When I am thirsty, you have to pour water for me, when I am hungry, you bring food to me, when I am bored, you tell jokes to me, right?"
Ning Ran nodded vigorously: "That's right, that's right."
Qin Budu raised his eyebrows: "Then what if the deity wants it? Are you here to warm the deity's bed?"
Ning Ran: ...
Help!There are hooligans!
The heat on Ning Ran's face, which was lowered by the Qingjing pill just now, suddenly burned again, Qin Budu admired his flushed face: "If you don't speak, I will take it as your acquiescence."
Then he stretched out his finger and tapped his own lips: "Since the deity asked you to work with the deity, don't you express it?"
Ning Ran: ...
For the first time, Ning Ran felt the aggrieved feeling of "I can't say it, I can't fight it".
He slurred a few words, trying to perfunctory, but Qin Budu became extremely persistent.Ning Ran couldn't hold back him, closed his eyes, raised his head and kissed the corner of his mouth: "...is it alright?"
Qin Budu didn't answer.
Ning Ran looked up at him strangely, but saw Qin Budu showing an expression that didn't match his identity.
Qin Budu was smiling—not the usual sloppy smile, nor was it a smile with the corners of his mouth curled up trying to play tricks, but a warm smile.
Even the eyes that lead him to look at Ning Ran are warm.
Ning Ran looked away uncomfortably.
Qin Budu did what he said, Ning Ran went out and kissed him, and he really took Ning Ran by his side.
During this day, Ning Ran also saw how busy Qin Budu's job as a Demon Lord was.
It's as big as meeting with the leaders of other monster clans bordering on the Demon Realm to discuss the territory or security issues of the border between the Demon Realm and the Monster Race; Qin Budu came to pick up the name.
From time to time, Yidao or Qin Budu's other subordinates came to report work.
Ning Ranguang had already emptied half a bottle of Great Tonic after flying around with Qin Budu in the sky above the Demon Realm.
When Qin Budu was talking to others, Ning Ran frowned slightly and looked at Qin Budu's side face thoughtfully.
Mr. Bai said today that Qin Budu is a devil and can tell lies, which is actually quite reasonable.
Ning Ran was surprised at himself.
I don't know when, he began to believe every word Qin Budu said without a trace of suspicion, and he actually had a feeling that he would not lie to himself.
Maybe it was Qin Budu's disdain for lying.
Or... after having a physical relationship, his defense against Qin Budu has also dropped?
Ning Ran just followed Qin Budu around in the Demon Realm for several days, but he didn't hear any useful news, but he ruthlessly established himself in front of Qin Budu's subordinates and the Demon Cultivators of the Demon Realm .
When Qin Budu's men and demon cultivators saw Ning Ran following Qin Budu, they were first surprised, then surprised, and finally angry.
This can be seen from what they call Ning Ran——
First from "that handsome guy" to "that handsome guy who doesn't dress like a nice guy" and then to "dog monk".
They fully expressed their feelings for Ning Ran with words.
But Ning Ran didn't expect that when he and Qin Budu were walking on the road, there would be a really daring Moxiu rushing in front of him, and "pooh" at himself in front of Qin Budu: "Dog Jianxiu! Get out of here!" go back!"
That night, Ning Ran was sitting in Qin Budu's room, sipping the ginseng soup that Qin Budu asked the kitchen to cook for him. Qin Budu was supposed to be practicing typing on the keyboard, but suddenly stopped.
"My lord, why did you stop again? Are you going to be lazy again?"
Qin Budu rolled his eyes at Ning Ran, reached out and touched Ning Ran's face: "You don't seem to be in a good mood, could it be because the person who scolded you during the day is depressed?"
Ning Ran was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that Qin Budu seemed to be caring about him.
Ning Ran shook his head with a smile: "Let's not say that Your Majesty has already taught that person a lesson for poor Xiu, but if he didn't even know I was Danxiu, and let Jianxiu scold him for nothing, I couldn't get angry. "
"Then why do you look sullen?"
"Am I depressed?"
Qin Budu nodded.
Ning Ran thought for a while: "...Maybe this soup is really too bad..."
Qin Budu: ...
Qin Budu glanced at the half bowl of soup in Ning Ran's hand: "Drink it."
Ning Ran asked with a sad face: "Although it's a bit ignorant to say that, but... can poor cultivators not drink?"
From the day Ning Ran came back after seeing Mr. Bai, Qin Budu arranged the kitchen and asked them to cook a bowl of soup with ginseng soup as the base and many rare tonics added every day.
Tonic is real tonic, every time Ning Ran finishes drinking, he can feel the spiritual energy in his withered dantian gradually becoming full.
But it's really bad to drink, not to mention bitter, sweet and sour, but also very astringent.
Qin Budu said: "Your body is so weak, it's always right to make up for it."
Ning Ran flattened his mouth: "Although my health is not good, at least I can last for hundreds of years... let's forget about this soup."
Qin Budu glanced at him: "Those who are trembling on the bed and touching the medicine are not qualified to say such a thing."
Ning Ran opened his mouth: ...
Qin Budu!You are too damaged!
Ning Ran wanted to say something more, but someone knocked on the door of Qin Budu's room. Ning Ran tidied his clothes carefully, and Qin Budu waited for him to finish tidying up before saying, "Come in."
Now that the night is dark, Ning Ran originally thought that Yi Dao might be looking for Qin Budu because of some urgent matter, but Ning Ran was a little surprised by the person who opened the door and entered.
It was a female demon cultivator that Ning Ran had never seen before. She was tall and slender, with short black hair that looked very smooth, and had a baby face, but with facial features, the whole person looked quite charming.
"Your Majesty, Fellow Daoist Ning."
Seeing the other party's polite attitude, Ning Ran politely returned a salute.
Qin Budu raised his eyes: "Yunshanghua, what's the matter?"
The female demon named Yunshanghua smiled, flipped her wrist, and a bento bag appeared in her palm.She said: "Your Majesty has been exhausted these days. This subordinate sees it in his eyes and feels pain in his heart. This is the stewed chicken soup and some snacks from the Bazhen chicken that this subordinate specially went to the Yaozu to catch today. superior."
Ning Ran listened, and the plot of Xin Dao seemed familiar—at the beginning, his little junior sister liked Xinggui, so she always gave Xinggui food and snacks every day or two. I think this Yunshanghua also has some affection for Qin Budu of.
Faced with Yunshanghua's overture, Qin Budu lowered his eyes again: "Thank you, but I won't eat it, you take it back and eat it yourself."
Yun Shanghua was taken aback for a moment: "My lord..."
Qin Budu raised his chin in the direction of the door expressionlessly.
Being rejected in front of Ning Ran, Yun Shanghua's face was a little stiff, but when Qin Budu showed no expression, she was too oppressive, she didn't dare to say anything, saluted Qin Budu, and exited Qin Budu's room.
As soon as the door was closed with a "click", Qin Budu seemed to change his face, and immediately raised the corners of his mouth to Ning Ran: "Ning Ran, let me drink your soup."
Ning Ran: ...?
Ning Ran: "Your Majesty, why don't you drink chicken soup, but come to drink my nasty soup?"
Qin Budu got up, took the bowl in Ning Ran's hand, took a sip, and said slowly: "Yunshanghua is the person in charge of the funds of the Demon Realm. In your mortal terms, she is probably the Minister of Finance. This deity was the head of the Ministry of Finance 80 years ago. After going to Demon Lord, we have contacted her once a month to check the bills. It is the first time that she came to deliver soup to the Lord. This Lord estimates that you and I have been in and out together during this period of time, and you are too close. She's a little anxious."
"As for why you didn't drink her chicken soup, but came to grab your mouth-numbing soup..." Qin Budu smiled even more happily, he took the last sip of the ginseng soup in his hand, and leaned in front of Ning Ran to kiss him, Slowly poured half of the ginseng soup into his mouth, and after Ning Ran swallowed it with difficulty: "Do you really understand or are you asking? Yun Shanghua likes this deity, even if her soup is delicious, this deity will not drink it; I would like Is it because the deity likes you to drink this ghost thing with you?"
Ever since he said he likes him last time, Qin Budu seems to have talked about liking him.
But the true meaning in these words... I'm afraid it's pitifully rare, right?It's just that since Qin Budu said so, Ning Ran just listened to it, wiped the medicine residue from his mouth with his thumb, and said with a smile: "Then, poor cultivator, thank you for your love."
