Chapter 10 Vinegar must take revenge on him.
(ten)
Li Shanglu couldn't remember clearly when she started to hate Chen Changyi. She never had a good memory.
When she saw the disgust that inadvertently flashed in Helan Jin's eyes just now, she subconsciously thought of him as a bad guy.
After all, Shen Changyi is the typical good guy. People who don’t like Shen Changyi are generally villains, such as Li Shanglu himself.
After being reminded by Helan Jin, she remembered that what she had done to Shen Changyi was definitely more excessive than what Helan Jin had done.
"Why do you hate him?" Li Shanglu looked at him carefully.
He has a good appearance, a cheerful personality, and is humorous in conversation. At first glance, you can tell that he is the complete opposite of Shen Changyi, and everyone would be willing to get along with him.
Helan Jin smiled and shrugged, saying helplessly, "Don't you think he's a little too strong?"
Only mortals can have the ability to eliminate demons by risking their lives, but Shen Changyi only needs a light sword strike to instantly shatter the demon cultivator's soul.
What is the difference between such people and monsters?
In this world, Shen Changyi's strength is too abrupt, too inconsistent, and too unbelievable.
Li Shanglu miraculously understood what he meant. That's right, she remembered. She began to hate Shen Changyi when she saw Shen Changyi pick up a book, glance at it casually, and then recite it by heart when he put it down.
It would take her three or four days to complete those homework, but Shen Changyi finished it in less than half an hour and was highly praised by the teacher. He even asked her in confusion,
"Shanglu, is this difficult for you?"
It's a shame.
A person who she believed was a fool and a good-for-nothing who had been bullied by her since childhood, suddenly showed amazing talent.
She really couldn't accept it.
Not only that, ever since Shen Changyi started practicing, the difficult strange disease he had in his childhood also began to recover miraculously. He went from being unable to hold the sword to being able to swing the sword, and then from swinging the sword to being able to cut down more than a dozen thick trees with one sword - that's how they built their house on the hill.
She was no longer as strong as him, and the person who needed protection changed from Shen Changyi to Li Shanglu.
Helan Jin didn't notice her distraction and continued to talk to himself, "You say I'm jealous, I admit it. No one can see Shen Changyi and not feel jealous. I always think that no matter how perfect he is, he must have a flaw. But he has a pure heart and good character. I can't find any faults. Instead, I look even more despicable."
Yes, yes, absolutely right.
That’s exactly what Li Shanglu thought!
A true friend is hard to come by, so she couldn't help but add a few more words, "It's not completely without flaws."
Helan Jin's expression paused slightly, then he looked at her with a smile, "Miss Li, you're joking again. That's Chen Changyi. Why don't you tell us about it?"
Hearing this, Li Shanglu came back to his senses and coughed softly, "Forget it, this matter cannot be known to outsiders."
There is one thing that is indeed a shortcoming, but how can I tell him about it casually?
"...Miss Li," Helan Jin looked at her speechlessly, "You are so unkind. I have clearly been honest with you."
Come to think of it, Lord Sword Immortal's cousin naturally knows more than him, and might really know some of Shen Changyi's secrets.
But no matter how he asked, Li Shanglu refused to utter a single word.
After a while, Helan Jin was so annoyed by her that he whispered anxiously, "How about this? I'll teach you how to make the elixir, and you tell me the flaw."
Li Shanglu glanced at him from head to toe, "Shen Changyi should also be able to make pills."
The implication is that this is not a suitable bargaining chip.
Helan Jin was a smart man and quickly understood what she meant. He smiled and said, "Miss Li, feel free to tell me what you want."
"I heard there's a Laiqu City at the foot of Mingzhuzong Mountain. It's rich, luxurious, and bustling..." Li Shanglu lowered his eyes and patted the pouch at his waist. "It's a pity I left home in such a hurry that I didn't bring much silver with me."
Helan Jin raised the corner of his lips slightly, took out a heavy gold ingot from his storage ring, placed it on her palm, and said meaningfully, "What a coincidence, what Miss Li needs is exactly what I have."
Li Shanglu covered his lips with his hand to suppress the scream that was about to come out of his throat. Before he could think of what lie to make up to take the gold ingot away smoothly, he saw a sparkling high-grade spirit stone placed in the palm of his hand.
Helan Jin's voice, with a deep smile, came from the front, "Not only that, there are many."
She threw all the thoughts about Chen Changyi and Helan Jin out of her mind. She stared at the warm and elegant light of the top-grade spirit stone. After a while, she said without hesitation, "Well, actually, this is what I heard. Chen Changyi is very bad in bed. This is absolutely true, although I heard it from others." She repeated it again in a way that made the matter even more obvious.
After the words fell, Helan Jin's smile froze slightly, "That's it?"
Li Shanglu calmly put the spirit stones and gold into his purse and said calmly, "Yes, this is his only shortcoming. What else do you want to hear?"
Helan Jin closed his eyes, took a long breath, and said helplessly, "I thought it would be at least a weakness that only you knew. Well, maybe I'm destined to never be able to defeat Shen Changyi in this life."
Hearing his words, Li Shanglu patted his shoulder and said with emotion, "Don't be discouraged easily. I believe in you. At least you are richer than him. If things really don't work out, you can just use your money to kill him."
Just let her know beforehand when something is smashed, and she will pick it up nearby.
"Thank you for looking after me," Helan Jin waved his hand with a gloomy look on his face. "Come and learn alchemy from me when you have time. It would be a comfort to me to have one more person who hates me become stronger."
Li Shanglu agreed gently. In her eyes, Helan Jin's image was already very tall, like a boy who brings wealth. Of course, she had to visit him often.
The two parted at a fork in the road. Li Shanglu returned to Shutong Pavilion refreshed. As soon as he opened the door, he saw a familiar figure sitting by the desk.
Shen Changyi put down the book in his hand and looked at her.
"Why are you here? Aren't you going to exorcise the demon today?" Li Shanglu was in a good mood. He casually pulled aside a stool and sat at the table, picking up a pear.
Suddenly, a hand took the pear from her palm, slowly took out a knife, and peeled it slowly.
He moved so quickly, he was at the desk just now, and in the blink of an eye he was next to her.
Li Shanglu looked up at him. The hands that swung swords with such ease were meticulously peeling a pear for her.
"Where have you been?" His voice was very calm, and no emotion could be heard.
Li Shanglu took the peeled pear and took a bite, then casually replied, "Elder Teng's Danfeng."
Shen Changyi's eyes dimmed a bit, and he looked at her steadily, "I went there, but you weren't there. Elder Teng said... you left with someone else."
His tone was calm, so Li Shanglu didn't notice that he looked amiss. He munched on a pear and said nonchalantly, "I met an interesting person and chatted with him for a while."
As she spoke, she untied her pouch and placed it on the table, then pulled out the glittering gold ingot and the sparkling high-grade spirit stone. A smile could not help but rise on her lips. "He's quite a nice guy, giving me such a large sum of money."
Interesting people...
Gave a lot of money...
Shen Changyi's fingertips trembled as he slowly pinched into his palm. He said calmly, "If you show kindness for no reason, you are either a traitor or a thief."
Li Shanglu: “?”
This is not something Shen Changyi would say. What's going on today?
"Which peak is he from? What's his name? How old is he? How many people are there in his family? What's his cultivation level?" Shen Changyi's voice was very cold. It was rare for him to say so many words in one breath.
Li Shanglu always felt that his expression was very gloomy, as if he was looking for trouble. "Why are you so nosy? This matter has nothing to do with you."
Shen Changyi was choked by her words, took a deep breath, turned around and was about to leave.
"Where are you going?" Li Shanglu asked in a low voice.
"Go ask Elder Teng."
Before he even stepped out of the door, he heard Li Shanglu's calm voice behind him, "Stop."
Shen Changyi had to stop and look back at her, anxiously gripping the sword at his waist.
He himself didn't know why he had such a terrible idea - if that man was planning to deceive Shang Lu's feelings, he would beat him.
Li Shanglu slowly stood up, walked to his side and looked at him with interest, which made Shen Changyi feel uncomfortable and turned his face away.
"I'm making friends with others, why are you in such a hurry?"
"I'm worried that you'll be deceived." Shen Changyi felt ashamed when she looked at him, as if all the extreme thoughts in his heart had been seen through. "Shang Lu, there are many bad people in the world."
"Nonsense, how could I not know?" Li Shanglu raised his hand to turn his face, forcing him to look towards him. He stared straight into those eyes as dark as ink, as if he had found an interesting toy, and chuckled softly, "Chen Changyi, you don't look well."
The slightly cool fingertips, stained with the fragrance of pears, brushed across his face. Shen Changyi's breathing stopped for a moment, and he stood there, unable to move as if he was frozen in place.
Li Shanglu tilted his head and saw the crimson color climbing up his neck inch by inch, and a wonderful pleasure arose in his heart.
She only discovered today that her stupid husband was quite easy to understand.
"Husband," Li Shanglu called out maliciously, and was satisfied to see Shen Changyi tremble all over. He was a little stiff, but his reaction was interesting. "Are you worried that I will be deceived, or worried that I will betray you?"
Shen Changyi couldn't help but turn his head away and stopped looking at her, "I... didn't."
Hearing this, Li Shanglu sneered, "You said yourself that you wouldn't lie."
Hearing this, Shen Changyi lowered his eyes in shame, "I'm sorry."
He is becoming more and more unreasonable and deserves to be punished.
Li Shanglu moved closer to him, put his fingertips on the side of his face, and asked him to turn his head and look at him.
She originally thought that Shen Changyi wanted to sleep in the same bed with her last night just to experience the lust and desire of the human world for the first time, but now it seems... why does she feel that Shen Changyi seems to like her?
It's not impossible. After all, they have been married for three years. Even if Shen Changyi had always treated her as a playmate, after having sex with her, it is impossible for him to treat her as a friend as before. Instead, he would treat her as a real woman, his wife.
Thinking about it this way, it makes sense.
"You're jealous, aren't you?" Li Shanglu smiled meaningfully, as if he was determined to get Shen Changyi's answer. "Ah, a dignified sword immortal of the Ming Zhou Sect would actually be jealous of his children's love affair... How would it look if it got out?"
Chen Changyi looked at her hesitantly, his lips moving for a long time, and then he sighed softly in helplessness.
"I just... hope that when you remarry in the future, you won't make the wrong choice."
Li Shanglu froze, the fingers covering his face motionless. Shen Changyi's words made her look even more ridiculous. She was like a clown, self-righteously saying something so foolish that it completely humiliated her.
Damn it, damn it!
She withdrew her finger and, after a long pause, forced a cold smile through her teeth. "Really? Then I'll introduce him to you tomorrow. His name is Helan Jin. Have you heard of him?"
After the words fell, Shen Changyi frowned and said softly, "I seem to have heard something, but... I can't remember it clearly."
Yes, he is a noble man who forgets things easily. Every day, he has to save the lives of people all over the world. How could he remember the names of small people like them!
Li Shanglu became even angrier, not realizing at all that his anger shouldn't have been so intense. Besides the humiliation of being made a laughing stock, there might have been something else mixed in with it.
Now she only wanted Shen Changyi to feel this anger as well and would not let him feel any better.
An idea suddenly struck Li Shanglu, and he forced a smile. He said gently, "It's okay. You'll definitely like him. After all, Lan Jin is a man of good humor and a fortune. You can tell at first glance that he'll take good care of his wife. Of course, even if you don't like him, it's none of my business."
Chen Changyi frowned slightly, "Shang Lu, a man who is so attentive to you on the first meeting should not be trusted..."
"What does it have to do with you?" Li Shanglu asked coldly, "Who are you to me?"
Shen Changyi pursed his lips. After a while, he could not hide his disappointment and said, "I thought we were at least friends."
Friend, you head.
Li Shanglu spat at him in his heart.
Whose friend would share a bed and have a baby?
Idiot, stupid bastard!
I must take revenge on him.
