I Can’t Be a Sword God

The first time Chen Huaji met Liu Qinglian was on her first stage.

At that time, Taogulou started building momentum a month in advance, and even publicized Miss Xiaoliu as a "beautiful girl who meets once in four thousand years", arousing the appetite of the city's literati.

Such a campaign is actually a very dangerous behavior, because once that good girl does not meet the expectations in people's hearts, the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.

However, Miss Xiaoliu met the expectations of the whole city.

And it goes way beyond that.

For her first song that day, she wore the same costumes as the supporting dancers around her, but in the crowd, everyone could tell she was different at a glance.

In a dance, the flowers of the southern country fall.

After returning home, Chen Huaji wrote it down in his diary.

"June 13th, I remember the first time I saw you, you were beautiful alone in the crowd."

"Just today, I met the true love of my life, Miss Xiaoliu."

"This time it's true true love..."

"It's different from what I did to Yan Xiaoyao, Chen Baiyi, Dai Lunong, Sui Yangliu, Chu Qingyan, Xiao Mingyue..."

"I swear."

"By the way, nullify all the previous oaths."

...

Seven days later, when the curiosity of all the literati in the city had reached the peak, Taogulou let Miss Xiaoliu perform again.

And after the performance, choose the elegant guest chat on the peach blossom list to accumulate popularity.

The rewards of Taogulou are replaced by peach blossoms made of silk. Twelve taels of silver can be exchanged for a peach blossom, and literati and refined scholars can give peach blossoms as gifts when they meet a girl they like.

Those who donate more in the front row can be listed on the Peach Blossom List.

The person Xiaoliu chooses for a chat is not necessarily the one with the most rewards, but it must be on the peach blossom list.

On this day, Chen Huaji did not make the list.

He donated a valuable pearl hairpin in exchange for twenty peach blossoms. If it was with other girls, it would definitely be enough to be on the list.

But Miss Xiaoliu's popularity is really extraordinary.

Although Chao Tianque's salary is very high, compared with those local tyrants who spend a lot of money, his actions are still not enough.

So he wrote.

"June 21st, if I'm young and capable and don't feel inferior, there must be a lot of wives and concubines."

"Today I experienced the suffering caused by poverty. I donated a pearl flower of two hundred taels, but it was not enough to be on the list."

"There are too many people who like Miss Xiaoliu."

"But it also shows that I have a good eye."

"I hope she can wear that bead flower."

"This is when she meets other literati."

"I can also have a sense of participation."

...

Another seven days later, this time, Chen Huaji arrived at Taogulou early, and before Miss Xiaoliu appeared on stage, he donated a whole month's salary.

Finally, he was on the list, and even occupied the number one position for a time.

Up to three breaths.

It's a pity that he was not selected in the final link.

After all, there are hundreds of literati on the list.

So he wrote.

"June 28th, meeting you in my lifetime, I spent all my luck."

"Today I finally fucked Miss Xiaoliu."

"The list."

"When she said my name and said words of thanks."

"I feel like my life is different from now on."

"Looking back now, it seems..."

"The cold porridge in the pot has become fragrant."

"The pickles in the rice bowl have turned sweet."

"Last night's steamed buns became soft."

"Although the house is leaking from the rain, it is also very warm."

"I made a decision."

"Starting tomorrow, I will work two jobs."

...

Another seven days later, Chen Huaji dragged his exhausted body to Taogu Tower.

Recently, he has been on duty at Chaotian Que during the day, and at night he also looks after the nursing home of a wealthy family.

Relying on the strength of the mind and soul of the practitioners in the early stage of Shenhejing, they only sleep for one hour a day.

In fact, if you are a serious spiritual practitioner, you are quite respected.

Just by hanging an offering sign in a big family's house, and occasionally making a sale once or twice, you can earn a considerable income every month.

But……

Chen Huaji only knows the five elements escape method.

The offerings that big families need are to deter others, or to sit in the house.

There must be at least one bluffing ability.

And Chen Huaji...professional and proficient in various departments.

The output depends entirely on talismans.

Um……

He had no choice but to lower his status and go to a night nursing home.

The family who hired him was because the house was very big and they were worried about snitches at night, but the wives in the family were very afraid of dogs...

A night-use Chen Huaji perfectly fills this vacancy.

When he walked into Taogu Tower, he had all his savings in his arms.

These savings barely put him at the bottom of Miss Xiaoliu's list.

He couldn't believe it when the master of ceremonies pronounced his name in the last link.

I was chosen?

I was chosen?

I was chosen?

I have such an opportunity in my life to be able to chat with Miss Xiaoliu face to face (across the screen) for an hour.

God.

Even death is worth it.

He was still dizzy until the little maid led him upstairs and went round and round to Miss Xiaoliu's living room.

Miss Xiaoliu softly said to sit down.

He just sat down as if waking up from a dream, and immediately gave a big smile.

This smile is warm and innocent.

Through the faint flower-and-bird screen, he could see Miss Xiaoliu's slender figure and elegant face, as if in front of his eyes.

He hardly knew what he said.

But every sentence is deeply in my mind.

After returning home, he wrote excitedly.

"On July 5th, I want to take you to the romantic Liuhua River, and then go to Shenluo and Chaoge together."

"Today I was chosen to have a clear talk with Miss Xiaoliu."

"I spoke a total of sixty-eight sentences and seven hundred and eighty-two characters with her, 80% of which were said by me and 20% by her."

"In her words, apart from 'oh', 'hehe', and 'and then', there are a total of forty or so words."

"Full of dry goods."

"I asked her many thoughtful and polite questions."

"for example."

"have you eaten?"

"What did you eat?"

"What are you doing?"

"How much do you earn a month?"

"how old are you?"

"How many people in the family"

"..."

"After this long conversation, I have a very deep understanding of Miss Xiaoliu."

"I believe my witty yet connotative conversation must have left a deep impression on her."

"This is just our first conversation."

"There is ample time."

"The only regret is that."

"She's so tired."

"We only talked for half an hour."

"She just said she wanted to go to bed early today."

"Go take a shower first."

...

More than a month later, Chen Huaji's longing for Miss Xiaoliu became more and more serious.

He believed that after the last farewell, Miss Xiaoliu should also miss him a little bit.

In the past month or so, Miss Xiaoliu's reputation has grown.

The speed at which he worked two jobs could no longer keep up with the growth of the literati who liked her.

He never touched Miss Xiaoliu's peach blossom list.

But Miss Xiaoliu's performance, he never missed a single game.

He was overjoyed when he heard that she had squeezed out Xiao Mingyue to become this year's Oiranian.

Although Xiao Mingyue was still his last true love...

but……

Men, the most important thing is to be specific.

There is only one tongue, and true love can only have one.

Mid-Autumn Festival.

He waited and waited and waited and waited.

When the full moon rises into the sky, it shines through the clouds.

When the lanterns come on, there are thousands of colorful lights.

When she was dressed in bright moonlight and slowly descended from the sky along the transparent ribbon, at that moment, all living beings were turned upside down.

That dance is overwhelming.

Like thousands of viewers, he was intoxicated by it.

But she never expected that after that dance, she collapsed to the ground and manifested a demon body.

The crowd was rioting, and Chao Tianque, who was present at the scene, arrested her on the spot and put her in prison.

He was also under Chao Tian Que's door, but he just stood there in a daze.

So... is she a fairy?

All the way back to the residence like a walking dead, after a long time of contemplation, he made up his mind.

He believed that Miss Xiaoliu was a kind woman, no matter whether she was a human or a monster, she had never done anything harmful to nature.

But according to the law of Heluo, such monsters who infiltrate the city and cause riots will be exiled at least, or sold at worst.

He couldn't watch Miss Xiaoliu become a slave!

She must be rescued!

Chaotianque's prison is heavily guarded.

Fortunately, Miss Xiaoliu was only locked on the first floor.

With his escape technique, it shouldn't be difficult to take her in and out. As for the key to the shackles, it is not difficult for the inner ghost to get it.

After making a careful plan in my heart.

He wrote again.

"August 15th, you know that even if the heavy rain turns the city upside down, I will give you my arms."

"I decided to save Miss Xiaoliu."

"Although she was born in a brothel, she turned into a monster."

"But I believe she's a good girl."

"Although it's dangerous, as long as she can see my sincerity through this jailbreak, it's worth it."

"I decided……"

"From now on, if you give birth to a boy, you will call it Chen Qing, and if you give birth to a girl, you will call it Chen Lian."

...

this night.

He bravely broke into the prison of Chaotianque, charged into the battle, and rescued Miss Xiaoliu like a dragon swimming.

But she didn't expect that Miss Xiaoliu didn't recognize her at first sight.

Um……

She has just experienced ups and downs, and she is in a trance, which is normal.

Fortunately, when she mentioned her name, she remembered her identity.

It shows that she is still very unique to her.

Right?

But even remembered his identity.

She doesn't seem to trust herself very much.

Um……

She is a weak woman... a weak banshee, it is normal for her to feel insecure in the human world.

As long as I slowly show my friendliness and sincerity, she will be melted by my love soon.

Right?

At this time a little Taoist appeared.

She suddenly... trusted that little Taoist priest.

He also held back his guarded self, saying that the little Taoist priest was not a bad person.

The little Taoist priest looked nothing but handsome.

Um……

As a woman in a brothel, it is normal for her to feel kind to "people who practice Taoism".

Right?

The little Taoist came over, his face obviously expressionless.

And his smile is warm and innocent.

But Miss Xiaoliu approached him subconsciously.

Still getting closer.

She is still leaning.

Don't rely on it, please.

Depend on.

Um……

Since she said that she is not a fairy, it may be that she is not used to this snake body, and it is normal to lean on some nearby objects.

Right?

Seeing Miss Xiaoliu leaning tenderly against the little Taoist priest, she seemed to be happier as she chatted.

Chen Huaji's warm and innocent smile disappeared, the corners of his mouth gradually curved downward, his nostrils gradually expanded, and tears appeared in his eyes...

He silently remembered it in his heart.

"August 16th, I shouldn't be in the temple, I should be at the bottom of the temple."

"I tried my best to rescue Miss Xiaoliu."

"But she is closer to a little Taoist priest than to me."

"But...it doesn't matter."

"Just tell me later that you are innocent."

"I must believe you."

I cried as I wrote this chapter.

ps: This is a chapter that I designed with great care, and it took me a long time to write it, and there is absolutely no perfunctory word. If you have to talk about water, I can't help it. I will continue to write with my heart, and I will still try new plots. If you think it’s funny, keep watching it. If you think it’s watery, I can’t keep it. Anyway, thank you very much.
