Chapter 79: You Really Take Me for a Trusted Dage

Yan Buji hasn't run into Liu Qingqing for several days; it seems she has been placed under house arrest.

However, the day before yesterday, Yan Buji suddenly sensed that the Tianren realm that had previously come to scout him appeared, but seeing only him, left at once.

The turn of events feels off.

"Could it be that Liu Qingqing actually ran away from home?"

Otherwise that old man couldn't have been so hurried.

Yan Buji's eyes flickered; if she truly has fate with him, perhaps he'll run into her today when he goes out.

Thinking that, Yan Buji left the tavern and strolled around the city a few times.

Still didn't encounter her.

A woman like Liu Qingqing is most jealous when others receive preferential treatment, and having run away this time, she may have been scolded by her family. Thus, she's unlikely to be in the city; instead, Shuibian Cheng is nearby, not far away.

Yan Buji thought carefully; after leaving the city,

if she doesn't want to be found, she'd surely pick a desolate yet scenic spot.

Yan Buji looked around, suddenly noticed a gentle slope on the mountain ahead, and headed that way.

The mountain path was rugged, but not difficult for him.

After a while, Yan Buji reached the mid‑slope and looked down.

The entire scenery of Shuibian Cheng unfolded before his eyes; the place is essentially unreachable from above, so ordinary folk wouldn't come here.

At the mid‑slope, only a single cherry tree grew at the exact center, surrounded by lush green grass and vibrant flowers, seemingly tended and neatly arranged rather than chaotic.

Yan Buji turned his head and suddenly saw Liu Qingqing resting under the tree; she had mud on her face and body, suggesting she had made this place herself.

What a fine handiwork.

"Miss Liu?"

"Hm? Uncle! Why are you here?" Liu Qingqing looked at Yan Buji in shock.

"I went into the mountain to gather herbs, and the scenery looked nice so I tried climbing up. What are you doing here?" Yan Buji asked knowingly.

Liu Qingqing lowered her head; even as Yan Buji approached slowly, she made no move, feeling quite at ease with him.

"I was driven out by my family, had no choice..."

"Oh? Driven out—weren't you the one who ran away?"

"I didn't run away; they just don't want me!"

Yan Buji sat in front of Liu Qingqing and laughed, "Is that so? Then your family must be anxious; perhaps you should go back and apologize first."

"I won't go back. After getting slapped, do you still want more? By the way, Uncle, they didn't trouble you before, right?" Liu Qingqing asked anxiously.

Yan Buji gave a wry smile, "They warned me that if I get any closer to you, they'd take action."

"Hmph! Don't mind them, Uncle. They're just old stubborn and young stubborn, using their age and experience to argue? If there were that many villains in the world, it would have turned upside down already," Liu Qingqing scoffed.

"Their worry is justified; perhaps I'm a villain too," Yan Buji squinted.

"Hehe, ordinary villains can't beat me!" Liu Qingqing laughed.

"So you really won't go back? If you delay any longer, they'd be terrified,"

"I won't go back; I left a note, will play for a month then return. At worst I'll be under house arrest for a few years later."

"This..."

Liu Qingqing's eyes lit up: "Since we won't have a chance to meet later anyway, Uncle, would you take me out for a walk?"

"But if I run into your family, wouldn't that be kidnapping? I don't want to end up in prison," Yan Buji quickly shook his head.

"It won't happen; I'll help you then!"

"Words are unproven."

Yan Buji shook his head, looking at Liu Qingqing sitting on the ground hugging her legs, a flash of ruthlessness in his eyes.

"Then shall I give you a written pledge?"

"No need for a written pledge; just repay with yourself!!!"

Yan Buji suddenly struck, his two fingers pressed together on Liu Qingqing's major acupoint.

In an instant, before Liu Qingqing could react, she was immobilized, staring at Yan Buji in stunned disbelief.

"Uncle, you..."

"Little girl, you ignore the elder's words and suffer right before your eyes, Hahaha—!"

Yan Buji's wild laugh rang out, "After playing this make‑believe with you for so long, you really think I'm your trusted Dage?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, a naive innocent little girl like you—if we weren't destined, I wouldn't even bother glancing at you. But since fate has linked us, why not deepen it a bit!"

Liu Qingqing stared at Yan Buji, eyes wide: "You... what are you doing, Uncle?!"

"Call me Uncle for now; later you'll be calling me 'good brother', hee hee hee."

Yan Buji reached out and brushed Liu Qingqing's cheek; the delicate skin under his fingertips was truly a delicacy he hadn't savored in ages.

Liu Qingqing realized she had been robbed, her angry face mixed with terror and hesitation: "You deceived me? What exactly do you want?"

"What do I want? You'll find out soon enough."

Yan Buji stripped off his clothes and pounced in an instant.

(Here 5,000 words are omitted, harmonious society, stay away from gambling and drugs.)

Three days and three nights later.

Yan Buji finally obtained the information he wanted, though his waist felt a bit uncomfortable.

This kind of medicine must be used through intercourse to make her obey and reveal the desired information, right?

However, if I didn't have to obtain the crucial info, the force was a bit excessive; this medicine could subtly transform her into my **, even having a hypnotic effect to some extent.

I'll study it further and improve it before using again.

Seeing the chaos on the ground, Liu Qingqing under the cherry tree with empty eyes and drooling at the corners of her mouth, Yan Buji pinched her arm and carefully sensed.

"Pulse condition is extremely smooth, round and smooth like pearls, strong and rotating, swift and uninterrupted. Indeed it is a joyful pulse; after this medicine takes effect, it not only can greatly destroy a person's consciousness, but can even increase the conception rate?"

"Zhou Hua's old thing's recorded folk remedy is indeed formidable; Yan Buji feels ashamed to be inferior."

"Without saying anything else, if we didn't have these low-grade medicines, trying to pry out their identities and origins wouldn't be so simple."

"He doesn't have time to play out some 'young girl loves old man' drama with Liu Qingqing; better to just be 'strong' and 'hard'."

"Yan Buji pretended to leave and even waited here for a day; seeing Liu Qingqing still looking foolish, he immediately relaxed his guard."

"Although killing her would settle everything, Yan Buji still felt that there was an inexplicably familiar sword intent Existence on Liu Qingqing."

"That is the sword intent of that strange boy; I don't know why it appears on her."

"For some reason, Yan Buji feels some apprehension toward that boy; he is not clear what use this strange sword intent has."

"Using force himself is fine, but if he were to kill, there's no telling what mischief that sword intent might cause, affecting his plans."

"The strange sword intent is very likely not mortal power; it belongs to a level that cultivators can access."

"This is also why Yan Buji dares not directly kill to silence; for now he can create a time gap, there's no need to cause more trouble."

"Although keeping a live mouth poses some minor hidden dangers, but now, the people of the Wuji Sword Sect are more eager than I to deal with the Zhi Sheng Dian; this is exactly the critical moment!"

"Yan Buji narrowed his eyes, took Liu Qingqing away, sealed her dantian and threw her into a brothel in a nearby town, then left Shuibian Cheng."
