80: Chapter 80 An Enviable Life

"Boss, please don't take me for a fool. Even though I'm a bit muddled sometimes, my IQ is still quite normal."

Shen Yingxue puffed out her cheeks. Qin Yun's attempt to fool her had failed, so he closed his eyes to rest. Indeed, those who had practiced martial arts were different; they were much harder to manipulate than ordinary people.

But it didn't matter. He had plenty of time. After all, there were still six months before Lin Fan would descend from the mountain, so he wasn't in a hurry at all.

"Yingxue, I want to eat an apple. Cut into pieces."

"Okay!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yingxue immediately picked up the apple from the dressing table, then took a fruit knife and began slicing it bit by bit.

Seeing her so obedient, Qin Yun smiled. It seemed that as long as it wasn't something excessive, she would comply.

Shen Yingxue rarely cut fruit, so the apple was sliced quite unevenly. However, Qin Yun immediately spoke up.

"I can't lift my hands. Yingxue, can you feed me?"

"Ah? I..."

Shen Yingxue's cheeks flushed slightly, but thinking of the blood and filth that had seeped from Mr. Qin earlier, she immediately nodded.

"Okay, but I didn't cut them very nicely."

"It's fine, as long as it tastes good."

Shen Yingxue picked up a piece of apple and held it to Qin Yun's lips. Qin Yun ate it in one bite, his warm tongue brushing against Shen Yingxue's fingertips. The apple juice coating her finger added a hint of sweetness, and Shen Yingxue pulled her hand back in a fright.

Her face was so red it looked like it might drip water. "B-Boss, my hand isn't for eating."

"I haven't eaten for too long. Look, you're quite strong; what if you accidentally lose your grip on the fork and stab me? Don't worry, I'll try my best not to touch you next time."

With his silver tongue, Qin Yun immediately coaxed the blushing Shen Yingxue back. Shen Yingxue also felt that what he said made sense.

After all, he was the one who introduced her to this job! Besides, she was clumsy; probably only Mr. Qin would be willing to take her in and give her work.

Next, she picked up another piece of apple. This piece was very juicy, and it had already soaked Shen Yingxue's fingers.

Qin Yun chuckled and then took another bite. His tongue inadvertently touched her finger again, licking away the juice. By now, Shen Yingxue's face was completely flushed.

Soon, Shen Yingxue's nursing shift was over. When Leng Youxue walked in, she almost ran out with a red face.

"Your Excellency Qin Yun, what did you do to Third Senior Sister?"

"Nothing, I just had her feed me an apple, but my tongue accidentally touched her finger."

Leng Youxue: ... "No wonder Third Senior Sister ran out; she's the most easily embarrassed, after all. Oh, right, Your Excellency Qin Yun, Miss Ye already told me what happened. So... exactly what method did you use to defeat that Xiao Chen? Second Senior Sister said his cultivation should be very high."

Qin Yun chuckled. "Yeah, Initial Stage of Huajin, I suppose."

"Then how did you win? Your cultivation should be... wait."

Leng Youxue merely touched his arm and immediately felt the majestic Internal Energy within Qin Yun's body, which was even greater than her own.

"Y-You've already cultivated to Peak Dark Energy!"

Qin Yun nodded with a smile. "That's right!"

"But that still doesn't make sense! It's almost impossible for Dark Energy to defeat Transforming Energy. The physical quality of Transforming Energy undergoes a transformation from the inside out!"

Qin Yun sighed. "But what if I used a Secret Technique to forcibly boost my strength?"

"What?"

"I have a Secret Technique that can increase my strength several times over, but the price is physical collapse and damaged meridians. If my body weren't sturdy enough, it would have crumbled into pieces long ago."

When Qin Yun thought about how he had also frantically absorbed the Internal Energy of those two after using his skills, he felt he was truly lucky to be alive.

But Leng Youxue's eyes lit up. "It can increase strength several times over! Your Excellency Qin Yun, could you..."

"No!"

"Wuwuwu, why?"

"Because it's very dangerous. One mistake and you'll end up like me."

Leng Youxue pouted. "Fine! But Third Senior Sister has already finished feeding you apples, so what can I do for you?"

Leng Youxue could be said to have the widest range of interests among the Senior Sisters. Divination, fortune-telling, palmistry, Bagua, medicine, and swordplay—she dabbled in them all. As long as it was a skill for traveling the Jianghu, she knew a bit of it.

Qin Yun smiled. "Then perform a sword dance for me! It's a good time for me to see how your Dugu Nine Swords practice is coming along."

"Okay!"

Leng Youxue's swordplay was very ornamental. Coupled with her naturally cool and beautiful face and her tall, proud figure, it was a pleasing sight to behold.

Soon her time was up as well. The next one to look after him was Meng Ruxin. When Meng Ruxin saw Qin Yun, her eyes immediately lit up.

"Mr. Qin, I've discovered that you can currently cosplay a certain character."

"What character?"

"A mummy! Look at how serious the injuries on your upper body are. You could take an alternative path and enter the niche circles to cosplay a mummy. You'd definitely become incredibly popular."

Qin Yun sighed. "Stop joking around. With my condition, I don't even know when I'll be able to walk again. Play a Soothing Melody for me; it might make me feel better."

Meng Ruxin nodded gently, then looked Qin Yun up and down, specifically adding:

"Fortunately, your face wasn't injured. Otherwise, if it scarred, you wouldn't be able to cosplay handsome guys anymore."

"Is cosplay the only thing in your eyes?"

"Hehe, well... I'll go play a tune for you now."

After listening to the music for a few hours, Qin Yun's heart gradually calmed down. Seeing that Qin Yun had fallen asleep, Meng Ruxin slowly walked out of the room.

Qin Yushang, who had drawn the fourth slot, wanted to walk in but was stopped by Meng Ruxin.

"He's already asleep."

"Ah? It's only eight o'clock!"

"Let him rest. After all, he's fought a battle; he's truly exhausted."

Qin Yushang sighed. "Alright then! However, to prevent him from being unable to get out of bed to use the bathroom in the middle of the night, I think it's better if I sleep next to him."

When Ye Qingge heard Qin Yushang say this, a hint of envy appeared in her eyes. Qin Yushang's three Senior Sisters also nodded.

Although they said they were taking care of him, there was still a distinction between men and women, after all. In this situation, only Qin Yun's biological younger sister, Qin Yushang, could handle everything perfectly.

Ye Qingge also wanted to say that she could actually do it too, but seeing Qin Yushang's proactive attitude, she immediately swallowed the words she wanted to say.

It seemed it wouldn't be her turn today. She would just take care of him tomorrow instead!
