Chapter 3: Lifespan Improvement [Thanks to the "Bezos" leader for the reward]

Li Nuo woke up dazed and found himself lying on the familiar big bed again.

This time, in addition to the clear pain in his head and shoulders, he also felt a dull pain in his chest.

Li Nuo undressed and looked, only to see a bruise on his chest. Every breath he took was accompanied by a slight pain.

Seeing Li Nuo sitting up, the old man guarding the bed was startled and said excitedly: "Master, you are awake. What is 3,674 plus 5,863..."

"Nine thousand five hundred and thirty-seven."

Li Nuo answered immediately, rubbed his chest, looked around, and asked, "Where are the people?"

Seeing that the young master did not turn back into a fool, the old man finally felt relieved, and then said: "I have sent someone to send him to the Chang'an County Government. Don't worry, young master, anyone who dares to assassinate you will not have a good end!"

Li Nuo asked: "What about the other one?"

The old man asked in confusion, “Which one?”

Li Nuo said angrily: "Kick that woman of mine."

The old man smiled awkwardly and said, "It's all a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding..."

Two people in a row had strong malice towards him. Maybe his previous life was not a good person... Li Nuo thought for a moment and asked the old man, "What kind of person was I before?"

The old man didn't understand what he meant and murmured, "What... people?"

Li Nuo said: "Eating, drinking, gambling, committing crimes, being idle, and having no knowledge or skills?"

The old man waved his hand and said, "Neither, you are joking, young master. You never drank alcohol, never went to brothels, and never committed crimes or lived an idle life..."

How can a fool be idle and unlearned?

The young master stays at home most of the time and seldom goes out, so it is naturally impossible for him to commit crimes.

As for eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, that is even more impossible. If he really dares to do these things, with the young lady's temper, wouldn't she break his legs?

Li Nuo breathed a sigh of relief.

He neither indulged in drinking, whoring, gambling, nor committed crimes. In other words, he was not only a fool, but also an honest fool.

But of those two women, one wanted to kill him as soon as they met, and the other beat him as soon as they met.

So, you can just bully a fool, right?

Li Nuo was stabbed and kicked for no reason. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He even forgot about the death threat in the book. At this time, the old man explained, "Master, don't be angry. It's all a misunderstanding. The young lady doesn't know what happened last night. She thought you bullied that girl..."

"I don't know, so you can just hit someone if you don't know?" Li Nuo was still very angry and said angrily: "I am the one being bullied, find me the young lady... Hey, what young lady? Whose lady?"

The cold woman came in from outside, walked to the bed, held the sword in both hands, looked down at Li Nuo, and said lightly: "What do you want from me?"

Li Nuo looked at her beautiful but expressionless face, then looked at the sword in her hand, his throat moved, and he said, "It's okay, it's okay..."

…

Li Nuo could never have imagined that the violent woman was actually his wife.

My dear wife.

According to housekeeper Wu, the two were engaged since childhood, officially got married a month ago, and are now legally husband and wife.

Upon hearing the news, Li Nuo was stunned for a while.

I didn't expect that he, who had been single for more than 20 years and had never even touched a girl's hand, would have such a beautiful wife.

Of course, only in name.

Who would be willing to marry a fool? Butler Wu also said that the young lady spent much more time living in her parents' home than in the Li Mansion. Even when she came back to live, she lived in the small courtyard next to Li Nuo.

Having such a beautiful lady, Li Nuo did not feel happy at all, but felt a little panicked.

When they met for the first time, she gave him a flying kick as a greeting gift. Li Nuo couldn't imagine their future life.

This woman obviously has a violent tendency. Will I be beaten often in the future?

I don’t know if there is a husband-wife alliance in this world, or if the government cares about domestic violence…

Li Nuo soon realized that he was overthinking.

If what was written in the code was true, then he only had three days to live. As for whether after three days he would return to where he came from, or completely return to nothingness, he would probably know only then.

When Li Nuo thought of the code in his mind, the shadow of the book appeared in front of him again.

Li Nuo took a look and saw that the two lines of words at the bottom of the book cover were still there.

"Name: Li Nuo."

"Lifespan: five days."

Li Nuo was slightly stunned.

Why two more days?

He remembered it very clearly. Just now, it was written as three days, but now it became five days. There was absolutely no way he could have made a mistake in reading the words "three" and "five".

The changes in the "Code" are not just about the time on the cover. The Code that could not be opened just now, now Li Nuo can easily turn over a page with just a thought, but it is only one page.

There was no text on that page, but there was a portrait.

It is better to say that it is a photograph than a portrait, because this portrait looks like it was taken with a high-definition camera of later generations. It is high-definition, uncensored, and in color. It is exactly the female assassin who assassinated Li Nuo last night.

Mysteries emerged one after another in Li Nuo's mind.

Why does the portrait of the female assassin appear in the Code?

And why did his life span suddenly increase by two days?

Although the reason is still unknown, the changes in the Code must be related to the female assassin.

This matter is closely related to his life. He only has five days left to live. Li Nuo must find out why his life span has increased and how he can live longer...

There was no time to waste, he immediately got up from the bed and said, "Let's go to Chang'an County Government Office!"

Butler Wu was stunned: "Ah, what is the young master doing at the Chang'an County Government?"

Li Nuo said as he put on his clothes: "Don't ask so many questions, just follow me..."

Butler Wu stopped him and said, "Master, if you have anything to say, please let me know. I can send someone or I can go myself..."

Li Nuo said in an unquestionable tone: "No, I want to go in person."

Hearing the determination in the young master's tone, Butler Wu had no choice but to say, "Well, I'll go get ready."

After a moment, Li Nuo stared blankly at the dozens of sturdy figures standing in front of him, and said to Butler Wu speechlessly: "It's just a trip to the county government office, there's no need for such a big fuss, right?"

These people were all burly and gave off a fierce aura. There was even a man with a medicine box in the crowd. He must be a doctor...

From this scene, those who knew that they were escorting an assassin might think that some rich young master brought a group of lackeys to kidnap a woman. Those who didn't might think that they were some rich young man bringing a group of lackeys to kidnap a woman.

Facing Li Nuo's doubts, this time, Butler Wu was particularly firm and said, "No, they have to be responsible for the young master's safety!"

Li Nuo wanted to say something else, but a figure walked in from outside the courtyard and said calmly: "I'll go with you."

Upon hearing this, Butler Wu immediately smiled and said, "If the young lady goes with us, we won't need them..."

Li Nuo was silent for a moment, then turned to Butler Wu and said, "I think it's better to have more people. It's more lively. What do you think..."

At this time, the woman's gaze also turned to Butler Wu.

Butler Wu looked at the woman, then at Li Nuo, and said seriously: "I think we should listen to the young lady..."

Although the old man had always been respectful to him, which made Li Nuo deeply feel the hierarchy of feudal society, it was not until now that Li Nuo truly understood that in this family, he was just a younger brother...
