Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 200 Saving the Peerless Ghost

Less than half an hour later.

The sun was already setting in the west.

Nongyu carried the stewed mutton to the study.

"Would you prefer meat or soup, sir?"

Nongyu parted her thin lips slightly and asked curiously.

Because her chest was being constricted too tightly, she wasn't breathing very smoothly.

"Of course, we eat meat."

Do you like soup?

Xu Lin said without hesitation.

After he finished speaking, he put several large pieces of lamb chops into his bowl.

"kindness."

"I rarely ate meat before, but I've started eating it recently..."

Nongyu nodded slightly.

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Xu Lin.

"That's a bad habit of yours, you need to change it!"

Xu Lin said seriously.

The gentle and kind-hearted Nongyu looked puzzled upon hearing this.

Why is drinking soup considered a bad habit?

She loves to warm herself up by drinking soup!

"Lamb soup is very high in purines."

"Drinking it frequently will cause problems."

“I have a friend in Xianyang who developed gout a few years ago because he often drank mutton soup. When it flared up, he could hardly get out of bed and couldn’t sleep at night because of the pain!”

Xu Lin explained.

The friend he was referring to was his future self.

Purine?

"ventilation?"

Nongyu's brows were tightly furrowed, her expression both enigmatic and awe-inspiring.

This was the first time she had heard those two words, but she believed Xu Lin wouldn't lie to her.

So, like Xu Lin, she put some mutton into her bowl but didn't add any soup.

"If you like this dress, I'll give it to you."

"Your sister Yan has so many clothes, she can't possibly wear them all."

After finishing his meal, Xu Lin drank tea and said...

Nongyu wanted to refuse, but she had already worn them.

After a moment of contemplation, she nodded slightly.

Is it tight?

Xu Lin glanced at the plump figure that had been pushed up and casually asked a question.

"A little."

"I've gained a lot of weight recently, once I lose weight I should..."

Nongyu answered truthfully.

She was interrupted by Xu Lin again before she could finish her sentence.

Who said you're fat?

"You're just right now."

"Being too thin is no good; it makes you prone to illness!"

Xu Lindao.

Upon hearing this, Nongyu, whose hair reached her waist, hesitated to speak.

……

Half an hour later.

Just as Xu Lin was about to play chess with Nongyu, Yan Lingji suddenly returned.

Nongyu looked in the direction of the sound and, upon seeing Yan Lingji, immediately stood up, supporting herself on the table, and bowed to Yan Lingji.

"Sister Yan."

"My clothes..."

Nongyu explained softly.

"It doesn't matter!"

"I'll give you this dress; I can't possibly wear it all anyway."

Yan Lingji waved her hand dismissively.

Upon hearing this, Nongyu bowed deeply to express her gratitude.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, she left the Xu residence with the robe she had changed out of earlier.

"I have so many clothes, why did you pick such a tight one for her, my benefactor?"

"Did you do this on purpose, or intentionally?"

Watching Nongyu walk further and further away, Yanlingji teased.

After she finished speaking, she placed her hand on her chest.

She really underestimated Nongyu. Although Nongyu was young, she was surprisingly capable.

Like mother, like daughter!

Mrs. Hu's is really exaggerated!

"I just grabbed one at random, I didn't even pick one out."

"Who knew she would grow up so fast."

Xu Lin shrugged.

Nongyu has the potential to surpass her teacher!
After saying that, he put a few pieces of mutton on Yan Lingji's plate.

"I'm not hungry yet, I'll eat later."

Yan Lingji took the bowl and placed it on the table.

Then he knelt down in front of Xu Lin.

"benefactor."

"I have a request."

Yan Lingji looked serious.

"What's the matter?"

Xu Lin looked puzzled.

"Does my benefactor still remember the Peerless Ghost I told you about before?" "He is a grateful person. After Tianze died, he was seriously injured and his life hung by a thread. I wanted to save him."

"Yan Ling Ji said in a deep voice."

She had known Wushuang Gui for many years; Wushuang Gui was arguably her only friend in Baiyue.

"Where are the others?"

Xu Lin gently stroked Yan Lingji's cheek and asked.

He had a fairly good impression of Wushuang Gui.

"Is our benefactor willing to lend a helping hand?"

Yan Lingji beamed with joy.

Then they brought in the severely injured Musou Ghost.

Xu Lin saw that Wushuang Gui's face was dark, his breathing was heavy, and his sword-like eyebrows were slightly furrowed.

Then, he took out the silver needles that Nian Duan had given him earlier from his storage space and placed them on Wushuang Gui's wound.

Since the injury was a fatal one, not poisoning, the silver needles had little effect.

……

After a cup of tea.

Xu Lin put the silver needles back into the brocade box.

"If I save you, would you be willing to serve me and the Qin Dynasty?"

Xu Lin asked without a smile.

The severely injured Wushuang Gui nodded with difficulty.

After witnessing this scene, Xu Lin wrote a letter to Gongshu Chou and sent it to Xianyang with Wushuang Gui.

Everyone has their own expertise; dealing with the Peerless Ghost should be left to Gongshu Chou, who is an expert in mechanical arts!

After Wushuang Gui disappeared from sight, Yan Lingji breathed a sigh of relief and then plopped down on Xu Lin's lap.

"How would you like my sister to thank you, my benefactor?"

Yan Lingji asked, tossing her hair.

At this moment, she was alluring, and her right leg was very restless.

"benefactor."

"Since you enjoy drinking tea so much, if I keep pressing you, will you end up like I did last time, where the water... the water overflows when it's full?"

Yan Lingji asked, exhaling hot breath.

As soon as she finished speaking, she took off her shoes and put her feet on Xu Lin's calves.

Just as she was about to take it a step further, there was a sudden, urgent knocking on the door.

"Sir, are you asleep?"

Honglian, supporting her slender waist, asked.

Because she came out at night, she didn't dress up as a man.

She came to learn swordsmanship from Xu Lin, so like Xi Jun, she also carried a long sword at her waist.

"not yet."

Yan Lingji suppressed her displeasure and spoke.

After speaking, she loosened her newly tied-up hair and slowly walked towards the door.

Crunch!

The wooden door opened!

"What brings the princess here so late at night?"

Yan Lingji asked, feigning gentleness.

"I'm here to learn swordsmanship."

Honglian replied without hesitation.

Then he quickly walked towards Xu Lin.

She only had eyes for Xu Lin, so she didn't notice that Yan Lingji's emotions were off.

"Learn sword?"

Why doesn't she learn from you?

Yan Lingji crossed her arms and looked at Xi Jun, asking a question.

“My swordsmanship is mediocre, and the princess wouldn’t even look at me.”

Xi Jun answered while thinking.

Upon hearing this, Yan Lingji hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

She wasn't petty. Xu Lin had once told her that she needed to learn to delay gratification, not to want things immediately, and to learn to be patient.

Thinking of this, Yan Lingji smiled charmingly and walked to the kitchen with her fair legs.

Xi Jun stood guard at the door, vigilantly observing the surroundings.

Under the dim light of an oil lamp, Xu Lin began to teach the Red Lotus Sword Technique step by step.

Honglian has decent talent, similar to Nongyu, so she learns very quickly.

……

After a stick of incense.

Seeing that Honglian's breathing was becoming rapid and she was sweating profusely, Xu Lin stopped teaching.

"Haste makes waste."

"That's it for today."

Xu Lin spoke up.

"it is good."

Honglian nodded.

Then I washed my face with clean water.

Her forehead, her neck, and her palms were all covered in sweat.

She had never sweated this much in her entire life.

"How does it feel?"

Xu Lin brushed the strands of hair that were clinging to Honglian's cheek behind her ear and asked with a smile.

"very good!"

The ever-brighter red lotus replied without hesitation.

After saying that, she picked up a stack of toilet paper and used it to wipe the sweat from her collarbone and chest.

"Liu Yi, Emerald Tiger, and Hundred Poison King are all dead."

"Who does the gentleman intend to kill next?"

Honglian took a sip of light tea and blinked her beautiful eyes as she asked.
