From Joy of Life to Becoming a Saint

Chapter 60 The Way of Royalty
Chen Qiye thought that after he said this, Si Lili would definitely insist on letting him leave and not need his protection anymore, but he never expected that Si Lili would just bite her lip and glare at him resentfully, then actually turned her back and began to undress.

As the gauze skirt fell, the graceful figure gradually appeared before his eyes.

The segmented wrap dress is like a modern arm-wrapped skirt paired with a waist-revealing sleeveless shirt, making Chen Qiye feel as if she has returned to the hot summer days when the streets were filled with white legs.

Her hair reached her hips, seemingly blocking part of her back view, but this vague feeling went straight to the heart, causing Chen Qiye's heartbeat to accelerate.

The upper body wrap had already been wrinkled by his manipulation, but it not only did not affect the appearance, but made her look even more charming.

The feeling Chen Qiye had at this moment was just like the time when he was in school in his previous life, when he first came into contact with an action blockbuster and felt the excitement of his heart beating faster and his blood boiling.

He was a little confused. He was not a novice, so why would he have such a novice's reaction?

He had a vague suspicion in his mind that Si Lili's behavior today seemed to be deliberately guiding something. He couldn't figure it out, but he just had a feeling that he was being manipulated.

But now he didn't think about it too much. Instead, he continued to stare at Si Lili's movements, waiting for the last two pieces of clothing to be taken off.

However... Si Lili did not do as he wished, but fell into the wooden barrel wearing only two pieces of clothes.

I soaked my whole body in the hot water covered with flower petals... then I saw the two small pieces of clothing slowly floating up.

Looking at the intriguing smile on Si Lili's face, Chen Qiye felt a little embarrassed. Damn, he was almost bewitched by her.

The water surface is just at the collarbone level, and the floating clothes and petals block most of the view. It is simply the best viewing angle in the world.

The atmosphere was very quiet, neither of them spoke, and even their breathing was very quiet.

The sound of Si Lili gently stirring the hot water to wash her body seemed particularly harsh, and every stroke seemed to touch her heart.

Chen Qiye just watched quietly.

An hour later, Si Lili finished washing. She hesitated and glanced at Chen Qiye who was sitting on the bed. Then she turned her back and slowly stood up. She took out the wooden barrel, picked up the clean clothes and put them on one by one.

During this process, Chen Qiye remained calm, holding the edge of the bed with his hands, and waited for Si Lili to get dressed, then he stood up and said, "Well... since Miss Lili has finished washing, I will leave."

After saying that, he left the room without waiting for Si Lili's response.

After Chen Qiye left, Si Lili's body suddenly went limp and she almost fell down. She managed to steady herself by holding onto the edge of the wooden barrel in time.

She sighed slightly, then walked to the dressing table beside the bed to comb her hair.

As she approached, her eyes accidentally swept across the edge of the bed, and suddenly she fixed her gaze on the deep fingerprint. This was solid wood, and the fact that there was such a deep mark showed how nervous the person sitting here was at that time.

Si Lili turned around to look at herself in the mirror and suddenly smiled.

"Hehe... You are just pretending to be a master or mysterious. In my opinion, you are probably not even as old as me."

Chen Qiye walked out of the room quickly, seemingly calm but actually in a panic. When he came outside, the second brother Zhou Qihu had just finished taking a medicinal bath and regulating his breathing and came out. Compared with Ye Dan, he was a little slower.

It seems that the time it takes for each person to absorb this forcibly created power is different.

"Brother, you are here."

Chen Qiye nodded: "How do you feel?"

Zhou Qihu clenched his fists excitedly. I now finally understand what Dan Ge meant by the feeling of wanting to beat ten cows.

"Okay, then let's stick to the old rules. I'll help you quickly master this power."

"Remember, try your best, just like Xiaodan did last time."

"The last time was a blessing in disguise. Xiao Dan's personal experiment made me realize that when you first get this kind of forceful power, you must master it in a short period of time, otherwise it will be dangerous if you keep doing it for a long time." "By then, don't even think about becoming a master. You might even have your meridians burst, and if you don't die, you'll be seriously injured."

Chen Qiye had said all this once before giving Zhou Qihu acupuncture, and Zhou Qihu resolutely chose to take this risk.

But taking risks doesn’t mean not being afraid, so Zhou Qihu took it very seriously and nodded and replied solemnly: “Brother, I understand.”

Ye Dan next to him pursed his lips, looking like he wanted to say something... but didn't dare to.

Chen Qiye asked, "If you have any questions, just ask directly, don't act like a woman."

"Ahem...Haha, yes, big brother."

"Actually, what I want to say is, why don't you take a rest first? There's no rush anyway."

Chen Qiye became even more confused.

"Why are you letting me rest for no reason?"

Ye Dan coughed again.

"Brother, you just came out of my sister-in-law's room, and your eyes were flickering and bloodshot, and your steps were obviously not as steady as usual, and a little hurried."

"So... um... you know what, let Big Brother take a break."

"Oh... indeed, indeed, Brother Dan is the one who thinks things through. Big brother, you can sit down and take a breath before you train me."

Zhou Qihu understood immediately and considerately suggested that his elder brother take a rest first.

In fact, it stands to reason that the reason why several people started to make a fuss was all because of Chen Qiye's own fault. Under normal circumstances, Chen Qiye would at most scold them a few words to show his big brother demeanor, and would not really care about it. After all, what the younger brothers said was not entirely false.

But... at this moment, Chen Qiye instantly felt unhappy after hearing such a teasing. Only he knew that he felt like escaping from Si Lili's room just now.

The more he thought about it, the more embarrassed he was. In a fit of rage and shame, he kicked Zhou Qihu on the butt, leaving him speechless.

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and do it, or I'll beat the shit out of you."

"Brother, spare my life."

After a training session, when Zhou Qihu was exhausted, the same situation as Ye Dan happened last time happened again.

Thanks to his experience, Chen Qiye moved much faster this time and soon helped Zhou Qihu stabilize the unstable condition in his body.

There is actually a great risk in forcing the meridians to open up and store true energy in this way. The tendons and veins may be broken at any time and the life may be in danger. In the best case scenario, the person will become a disabled person.

It doesn't mean that Chen Qiye can stabilize a few people once and for all, but he needs to adjust the medicine for control at any time.

Actually... there was one thing Chen Qiye didn't tell the truth to a few people, that is, he had a one-time solution. Although it was a bit troublesome, he did think of it.

However, Chen Qiye did not tell them.

He never believed in absolute loyalty. Even if there were no disadvantages, he would find ways to create them himself, let alone this existing situation.

By hiding the method of radical cure, Chen Qiye is equivalent to holding the lives of several people in his control. In the future, no matter whether they are sincere or not, he does not have to worry about being backstabbed.

It is useless to shout beautiful slogans, and short-term emotion is not the basis for long-term submission. The best way to control subordinates is to use both kindness and severity.
