After getting tossed around for half a day, how could Shen Qingxian give up all his previous work here?

But on seeing Gu Jianshen’s arrogant appearance, he felt very dissatisfied.

Gu Jianshen continued acting while standing in line. “Young Master, can you take care of yourself if I’m not there?”

Shen Qingxian sneered.

Gu Jianshen seemed to be winding him up as he pretended to be pitiful, but his eyes were filled with banter, waiting for Shen Qingxian to “throw himself into his arms.”

He watched as Gu Jianshen went to draw lots. The one in charge was a female cultivator, who should be an outer disciple. Originally, the look on her face was just like that of a peacock strutting around, making it obvious that she very much looked down on those who had just joined the sect. 

But when Gu Jianshen stood in front of her, the female cultivator was left stunned.

Gu Jianshen smiled at her. “Hello, Shijie.”

These two words directly captured the female cultivator’s soul!

Shen Qingxian looked even icier now.

After drawing his lot, Gu Jianshen looked at the numbers, turned back to face Shen Qingxian and said, “Sixty-nine.”

Shen Qingxian rolled his eyes in a very obvious manner. 

Gu Jianshen smiled more and mouthed to him: I’ll wait for you.

Just you wait ba!

The next one was Shen Qingxian. When he came to the box holding the lots, the female cultivator was still blushing, carrying the spring-like appearance of a little deer bumping along. 

Just this much determination, and you still want to cultivate the great dao? Dream on. 

The female cultivator saw Gu Jianshen greet Shen Qingxian before leaving, so she knew that they had come together. She was very attentive to Shen Qingxian. “Good luck little didi, draw a good residence.”

This “little didi” made Shen Qingxian raise his eyebrows.

The female cultivator was still trying hard to impress Gu Jianshen by attempting to give him a big gift.

Peers generally wanted to live together, and No. 69 was a very good small courtyard. If she could make it so that the two of them live together, Gu Jianshen would probably appreciate her!

Thinking this way, the female cultivator’s heart pounded, and she grew even more eager. “Don’t worry, just draw ba!”

It was very difficult for a disciple who had just joined the sect to cheat at this kind of lottery, but since this female cultivator had already built her foundation, doing some small tricks was pretty easy for her. 

As soon as Shen Qingxian put his hand in, he noticed one lot sticking to his hand. 

The female cultivator winked at him.

Shen Qingxian’s accumulated unhappiness completely climbed to the apex!

Gu Jiuyuan, this asshole who attracted all the bees and butterflies!

Sixty-nine?

He definitely wouldn’t draw that.

The jade scroll, that had caught its breath, watched with its own eyes as its owner picked “96”!

When he drew out that lot, the female cultivator was stunned….

What was going on? She had even put the specific lot in his hand, so how come he didn’t draw it?

To top it off, the poor sign was written in regular Chinese characters; if it had been in Arabic numerals, the female cultivator could also consider forcibly turning it over and pronouncing 96 as 69.

Shen Qingxian raised the lot in his hand and said, “96.”

The female cultivator secretly glanced over at Gu Jianshen, and with regret all over her face, noted down the number: She didn’t gather any appreciation…she wanted to cry. 

Shen Qingxian took the number and turned to leave.

Gu Jianshen waited for him not far away. On seeing him approach, he asked, “Shishu, did you really have to go that far?”

Shen Qingxian said nothing.

Once everyone had finished drawing their lots, a steward took them to their respective courtyards.

With just one look, you could tell that 69 and 96 were very far away from each other, so the two of them naturally went in different directions.

Shen Qingxian didn’t take a look at Gu Jianshen during this entire process. He just listened to the steward’s orders and headed straight to his own yard.

Gu Jianshen shook his head, but also didn’t say anything at this point. 

The jade scroll was frantic: Ah! God, Boss, are you not going to do the tasks anymore? No more fixing the heavenly ladder? No more moving bricks? How can you be so capricious?! I’m so tired. I’ll just lie here and play dead!

Would Shen Qingxian give up?

Naive.

The location of Courtyard Number 96  was quite remote, and it was extremely simple and crude.

The location was remote, and the spiritual qi here was quite thin. What was worse was that the dilapidated thatched house was very small, and its yard was also small.

To sum it up….His Honorable Lordship’s hands were explosively unlucky, he had basically won the lowest grade two-person house in the sect!

Shen Qingxian raised his feet and stepped in. As soon as he entered the house, he frowned.

It was even worse than he had expected.

There was only one room in the house; the bedroom, living room, kitchen, dining room, and bathroom were all combined together.

The key was that two people had to share it.

Of course, Shen Qingxian could use a spell to make a big change to the house, but the problem was that he still had a roommate.

Just as he was thinking that, someone entered from outside.

A little fattie swayed inside. “My god, my luck is too bad ba!”

Shen Qingxian turned his head.

The little fattie was immediately stunned. “So….so……”

Shen Qingxian raised his eyebrows.

The little fattie swallowed the word “beautiful” forcibly down his throat.

Shen Qingxian greeted him. “Hello, my name is Zhao Yan.”

The little fattie couldn’t even move his eyes away. He looked at Shen Qingxian, swallowed, and said, “I’m Zhu Zilin. I’m twelve years old, and I’m attracted to men…”

Shen Qingxian: “…..”

Realizing that his tongue had slipped, the little fattie quickly changed his tune. “I mean… men…it’s difficult for men to climb up into the sky….”

The Lord’s eyes at this time were basically….full of care for those who were mentally handicapped. 

Zhu Zilin’s fat face flushed, and he didn’t dare to look at him anymore.

Shen Qingxian missed the little peach blossom Su Yu very much.

At this moment, however, Zhu Zilin had lost all his dislike for this small thatched cottage. He felt that he had reached the peak of his life, and if there was another wave, he was going to fall off a cliff!

Cherish… Cherish the present… Being able to live with such a beauty, what more could you want ah?!

The little fattie was imagining so many things that saliva was nearly overflowing from his mouth. 

Shen Qingxian was very worried. They were both children, but why was there such a big gap between this fattie and the peach blossom?

Zhu Zilin tried to ingratiate himself to Shen Qingxian. “Zhao Yan, pick a bed first ba. Anyway…anyway, I’ll sleep next to you.” After saying that, he realized that he had shaken out the words in his heart again.

The corners of Shen Qingxian’s mouth twitched. 

Zhu Zilin then said, “Are you hungry? I have a lot of delicious food here, and I’ll give it all to you. Who asked….who asked you to be so beautiful?”

Shen Qingxian: “……”

The little fattie who had again accidentally uttered what he was thinking decided to go for broke. “Don’t be angry, I don’t lie, I just say whatever is in my heart… especially… especially when I meet someone I like. Yes, I like you.” Saying that, the little fattie became affectedly bashful, pulling on a coy expression.

Shen Qingxian: “…..”

What could he do? At his advanced age, could he argue with a 12-year-old little fattie?

His stomach hurt.

Fortunately, someone else moved very quickly. Just when Shen Qingxian couldn’t bear it anymore, he arrived.

Shen Qingxian breathed a sigh of relief, a truly big sigh of relief. 

Zhu Zilin was happily making the bed. While he was doing that, he said, “The bed is really small ah. If… If we put them together, it would become spacious.”

Then he hurriedly added, “I don’t want to sleep with you, I just… Just… want to sleep next to you.”

With a bang, the wooden door fell to the ground.

The little fattie was startled and quickly looked up. “Who’s that ah?!”

Gu Jianshen stood at the door, framed against the light. The little fattie couldn’t see his face clearly, he just felt that the surrounding atmosphere was now frighteningly cold, and it seemed as if countless knives were pricking against his skin. If he moved again, he would start bleeding.

Zhu Zilin dared not move a single inch.

Even when wrapped in such strong murderous air, Shen Qingxian remained as cool as a cucumber, as if he were in an elegant and quiet garden.

Gu Jianshen looked at him. After a long time, his thin lips raised slightly. “How can Young Master sit in such a dirty and rundown place?”

As he said that, he approached and picked up Shen Qingxian with one hand.

Shen Qingxian didn’t refuse him, naturally putting his arms around Gu Jianshen’s neck.

This action greatly pleased Gu Jianshen. The imposing air around his body receded, and the air in the thatched house returned to normal.

The little fattie could now move. He gasped, a cold sweat seeping from his forehead. “Scared baobao to death, scared to death, scared to death…”

As he was muttering these words, he finally saw Gu Jianshen clearly, and then…he fell into a daze!

This time, he was even more dazed, stupid, and moronic than before. 

Shen Qingxian hadn’t even broadened his horizons, and the little fattie was already doing his best to die. “So….so good-looking ah!”

Gu Jianshen narrowed his eyes dangerously.

This little fattie standing on the edge of death didn’t understand his precarious situation. He shook his head, his face full of admiration and appreciation. “Naturally suited, you guys…you guys are really a heaven-made couple ah!”

Gu Jianshen: “…..”

Shen Qingxian: “…….”

Zhu Zilin looked down at himself, then looked up at them, wearing a sad and helpless face. “I quit, I can’t match you guys, you belong to each other. I am… I am… I won’t bless you guys, wuwuwu!”

The “lovelorn” little fattie then ran out with his eyes covered…..

So many stories, young man, what bullshit about cultivating into an immortal ah, go write some scripts and you’ll see more progress ah!

The little fattie ran away, leaving Gu Jianshen and Shen Qingxian staring at each other in the house.

Gu Jianshen was silent for a bit before he said, “Heavenly dao cultivators are indeed extraordinary.” He really had never seen anyone this brain-damaged in the Heart Domain before. 

Shen Qingxian: “…” He was actually unable to refute this statement, so his heart felt stuffy. 

The little fattie who had just run out ran back in. He said to Gu Jianshen, “Let’s change rooms ba, I won’t break you two up.”

Gu Jianshen had come over here just to switch rooms with him, and for this very reason, and he had also prepared a pile of good things while cleaning up the number 69 little house especially well. He was afraid that Shen Qingxian’s roommate wouldn’t switch with him.

Yet, as a result, as soon as he came here, he heard that someone wanted to sleep with Shen Qingxian.

He got so angry that he wanted to use strong measures, but then… The fattie took the initiative to withdraw, even speaking such a beautiful truth before running away.

The emperor decided to spare his life. 

The little fattie ran away again, after which there was no sound from the two people in the room for a long time.

Shen Qingxian returned to his senses first. “Put me down.” Gu Jianshen was still holding him.

Gu Jianshen said, “Wait a minute.”

Saying that, he raised his hand, and the dirty thatched house turned into a magnificent palace of gold and jade.

Shen Qingxian’s pupils suddenly shrank.

Gu Jianshen carefully put him on the soft, dark red imperial concubine’s couch, which was inlaid with gold. “Sorry, this subordinate arrived late.”

Shen Qingxian looked up at him. “Eyes.”

Gu Jianshen: “Hm?”

Shen Qingxian stretched out his hand and pulled him over. “… Your eye color.”

Gu Jianshen’s smile was full of indulgence, and his blue eyes turned to a brilliant red.

Shen Qingxian stared at them fixedly. The next moment, he stood up, his body slowly elongated, and his childishness faded away. Standing in that spot now was an unparalleled beauty that could topple the world. 

He looked straight at Gu Jianshen and opened his lips, “I really want to see the real Weixin Palace with you.”
