The fairy always tries to corrupt my Dao heart.

Chapter 21: A Worried Best Friend and "Kidney Damage"

"That mysterious Su girl... is a bit special."

No sooner had they left the Luoxia Sect than Huang Yunzhao's voice rang out from within his sword heart: "Very special."

“Hmm, your body feels soft and warm,” Li Qingan replied. “You clearly have a special constitution.”

"I don't think so, but we can't see anything right now..." Huang Yunzhao's voice was thoughtful: "Maybe it's not human?"

"You're overthinking it." Li Qingan chuckled. "How could such a powerful force possibly train a demon as its heir to have a cultivator at the tenth realm as a bodyguard?"

"That's true." Huang Yunzhao was too lazy to think about it anymore: "But weren't you in a hurry to get back? Why did you slow down?"

"Waiting for someone."

"Li Qingan, fellow villager, wait a minute..."

Shen Qingyu's voice rang out from behind, and Li Qingan stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Shen Qingyu who had followed him.

As expected.

Although Su Lingyin's final reaction was unexpected, it was enough that Shen Qingyu followed along.

Whether it was Su Lingyin slapping his hand away or refusing his invitation... it was all for this reason.

For his own life, and for... the information from the Heavenly Mirror.

"Don't walk so fast." Shen Qingyu stopped beside him. "Yinyin is just shy..."

“If it’s just for comfort, then there’s no need to say anything.” Li Qingan smiled slightly: “I’ve held out for so long, it wouldn’t be…”

He looked up at the distant sky: "We won't give up so easily."

Looking at Li Qing'an's flawless profile, Shen Qingyu felt that his mood was completely opposite to his words.

For so long, Yinyin has refused to become his Daoist partner, which must have been hard for him.

But Yinyin clearly likes him...

Why does Yinyin make something so simple so complicated and tiring?
What if Li Qingan can't hold on any longer?
Shen Qingyu bit her lower lip, wanting to say a few more words in defense of her best friend, but Li Qingan clearly didn't want to listen.

If you upset him, you won't be able to mend the relationship between him and Yinyin.

Not to mention teaching him how to woo someone...

Thinking for a moment, Shen Qingyu's eyes lit up: "Are you planning to go to the City Lord's Mansion to accept a mission next?"

"No." Li Qingan took out his ledger: "I'm preparing to collect debts and pay them back."

“I’ve been away from Luoxia City for five months, and quite a few people still owe me spirit crystals.” Li Qingan shrugged. “There are also some things I promised to do that I haven’t been able to complete. I’m going to go and apologize to them.”

"Oh, I see..." Shen Qingyu blinked. "Why didn't you ask Yinyin to get it for you?"

"Don't speak up for her yet." Li Qingan smiled noncommittally. "Besides, doing so would make it seem like my feelings for her are mixed with self-interest."

“That’s true.” Shen Qingyu nodded, feeling even angrier at her best friend’s actions.

Look what you've done!
"If there's nothing else, I'll be going now." Li Qingan put away the ledger. "I'm going to clear my head first."

Changing...my mood?!

!!!

Will Li Qing'an, like in the novels, go to a brothel to drown his sorrows after a heartbreak, listening to music and watching dances?
Would they spend the night in a brothel?

What if it falls into the hands of some ill-intentioned woman...

Shen Qingyu knew that there were quite a few women in Luoxia City who liked Li Qing'an, especially some brothels, who were all thinking of spending a lot of money to invite a celebrity like Li Qing'an to sit for a while in order to attract customers!

What if Li Qing'an actually agrees now?
No!

This must not happen!
"Hey, wait a minute!" Shen Qingyu caught up with Li Qingan again: "I haven't finished speaking yet!"

"Hmm?" Li Qingan looked at Shen Qingyu curiously: "What else do you want to say?"

Shen Qingyu looked up at him and asked, "After you finish all this, where are you going?"

"Go home and cultivate."

"I see..." Shen Qingyu's eyes darted around: "How about this, I'll help you collect your debt!"
You're too embarrassed to use Yinyin's name to intimidate others, but I'm shameless enough to help you collect your debt. Go home and cultivate your skills diligently, and one day you'll teach Yinyin a lesson!

A hint of a smile flashed in Li Qing'an's eyes; this was the moment he had been waiting for.

Otherwise, how could I establish a relationship with Shen Qingyu and find out that she might also be collecting information about the Tianyuan Mirror?
With the ledger in place, the woman on Su Lingyin's side who gave her commissions couldn't really say anything.

"You?" Li Qing'an pondered, "But I have to apologize to you personally for what I owe you."

"It's okay, I'll stay with you!"

Shen Qingyu patted her not-so-flat chest, determined not to let Li Qingan go out alone!

Otherwise, those vixens in the brothel would know what happened just by looking at Li Qing'an's expression, and they would definitely try their best to seduce him! "Think about it, some of the people who owe you money might not be in Luoxia City. If you go to collect the debts, it will definitely be a waste of time, but I have a way!" Shen Qingyu chuckled: "Three days, I can get it all back for you in three days, with interest!"

Shen Qingyu's suggestion was exactly what Li Qingan wanted to hear, so he joked, "What if we can't get it back?"

Shen Qingyu said nonchalantly, "You could kill me with one punch."

Li Qingan's smile deepened: "Then it's settled, fellow villager sister."

He handed over the ledger directly.

"Leave it to me." Shen Qingyu reached out and took it: "Brother from my hometown!"

Shen Qingyu casually flipped through a few pages, her eyes lighting up: "So many?"

"Hmm... If you help me get it back, I can give you half of the interest as a thank you fee."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingyu quickly flipped through the ledger and roughly calculated that it amounted to 600,000 spirit crystals. She then patted Li Qingan's arm with a beaming smile and said, "Deal!"

I can buy lots of delicious food again!

Li Qingan smiled broadly: "Aren't you going to be polite at all?"

"Aren't we from the same hometown?" Shen Qingyu punched Li Qingan in the chest, her peach blossom eyes sparkling. "Aren't we? Aren't we?"

"Yes Yes Yes."

Li Qingan enjoyed talking to Shen Qingyu; partly because of the warmth of being from the same hometown, and partly because her personality suited him.

Huang Yunzhao chuckled, "I originally thought you were simply looking for the Heavenly Origin Mirror for me, but it turns out you also want to make a move on Su Lingyin's best friend?"

"It's not a conflict."

"I don't object, but don't really become a simp."

"Don't worry, sir," Li Qing'an said calmly. "I understand this principle very well: love yourself before loving others."

Huang Yunzhao said no more, and Shen Qingyu said with great interest, "Then it's settled. You go home now, and I'll take back a portion of it first, so you can see my strength!"

"How about I go with you to apologize this afternoon?"

Li Qingan nodded: "Okay."

"Oh, right," Shen Qingyu asked again, "Can I cut off the hand of that kind of scoundrel?"

“Sure,” Li Qingan readily agreed. “Those who owe money and act like they’re above everyone else deserve to be taught a lesson.”

"I understand!"

Shen Qingyu clenched her fist: "Then you'd better hurry back and wait for my good news!"

After watching Li Qing'an walk towards home, Shen Qingyu immediately took out her communication compass.

She certainly wouldn't waste her time on such a trivial matter; she'd let the powerful Granny Ji handle it.

Anyway, all I need to do is help my fellow villager's brother get it back!

……

Li House.

Upon returning, Li Qing'an said to Huang Yunzhao, "I plan to refine my body twice more."

"Too much!" Huang Yunzhao emerged from his sword heart: "I just refined it twice last night, how long has it been? You have to eat one bite at a time, understand?"

"I understand, but the pressure is immense." Li Qingan placed the Qingwu Sword on the table. "What if I can't get the Tianyuan Mirror? How can I help you then?"

"Once!" Huang Yunzhao held up one finger: "With your current skill level, you can only manage a maximum of three times within twelve hours!"

Li Qingan looked at Huang Yunzhao: "What if we utilize the Great Dao of Time?"

"First, I cannot sustain the Great Dao of Time for too long; second, your current level makes you prone to getting lost in time."

Li Qingan then asked, "Will refining the body four times damage one's foundation?"

"will not."

"Then..."

"It can damage the five internal organs, especially when there is an excess of yang energy that cannot be released, it can easily damage the kidneys!"

"Then let's do it three times a day."

Li Qingan decisively changed his mind without the slightest hesitation.
