Boss's Death Guide

Chapter 95 - Winter Swim

Edited by Meri

Qi Jingchen kept his eyes closed the entire time. He could feel Nie Yi giving him a bath, but could not lift his eyelids; it was as though they were being pressed down by two large mountains.

A certain part of Nie Yi’s was truly rather impressive, but because he had restrained himself, Qi Jingchen did not sustain any injuries. At most, there was a slight discomfort in his stomach, and this discomfort, for him who had once been bled and cut apart for his flesh, it really wasn’t much.

But he was still unable to move. Since he had bitten Nie Yi and drank a few mouthfuls of Nie Yi’s blood, the energy in his body began to slowly recover, and his entire body gradually sank into dormancy.

Because of this, after he seduced Nie Yi into bed, he unexpectedly had no energy to do anything, and could only lay down and let Nie Yi do whatever he pleased!

He even wasn’t able to openly admire Nie Yi’s body... Of course, in any case, he felt some difference; for example, pleasure.

It was strange to speak of. His body did not react at all, so much that he couldn’t really move during the latter half. However, tangled around Nie Yi, he still felt sublime pleasure. But because Nie Yi was too careful, conversely, he felt it wasn’t enough.

Feeling Nie Yi’s hand gently caressing his body and helping him clean up, Qi Jingchen really wanted to move, yet was unable to. In the end, he could only ‘look’ at Nie Yi with his spiritual strength, then completely wind his spiritual strength around Nie Yi’s body.

He and Nie Yi now experienced a sort of indescribable connection, making them feel even more intimate and indistinguishable from each other. With his spiritual strength winding around him, Nie Yi’s spiritual strength followed suit, and Nie Yi even had a reaction... Then, Nie Yi was no longer willing to tangle around with his spiritual strength, and carried him out from the water, stuffing him in the quilt after wiping him dry with a towel.

Qi Jingchen thought Nie Yi would also get under the covers, but he did not, so he could only begin thinking about other things. Oddly enough, although he was completely powerless from head to toe at the moment, his various senses were exceptionally clear, and his line of thought abnormally active.

The first thing Qi Jingchen thought of was his unusual state these days, as well as Nie Yi’s.

During the previous explosion, Nie Yi was very heavily injured, and his ability nucleus shattered. Though his blood could save Nie Yi’s life, it did not make sense for it to both completely heal Nie Yi’s body and reconstruct his ability nucleus.

And it wasn’t reasonable for him to be so weakened just from losing blood. After all, how much blood could flow from his fingertip?

During the day, he had only used his spiritual strength to touch, which made the outer grey film around Nie Yi’s ability nucleus to disappear, and even produced an unusual connection between them. This was even stranger in every aspect.

For all of this to occur, it must be because something happened. And with the present situation, it seemed to be like... a contract?

Qi Jingchen read several novels during the past few days, and they included everything about cultivating immortals, abilities, and magic. He also found out about many things. The situation between him and Nie Yi; wasn’t it just like a signed contract?

He did not know what in the world was going on, but in his opinion, this sudden connection with Nie Yi wasn’t a bad thing, so he didn’t need to think too much about it.

After relaxing his heart, Qi Jingchen simply passed out, but Nie Yi spent the entire night sitting beside him.

Qi Jingchen’s intimacy at the start of last night delighted him, but Qi Jingchen’s later response left him feeling somewhat unpleasant.

Seeing Qi Jingchen’s deeply unconscious state, he even regretted that he had taken Qi Jingchen. After all, Qi Jingchen’s current health was truly terrible... But, if he were faced with this choice again, he believed that he still would not be able to refuse.

Regardless of whether Qi Jingchen really liked him, the fact that he desired Qi Jingchen was indisputable. Moreover, Qi Jingchen’s behaviour last night was probably indicative of liking him— the reason Qi Jingchen would get together with him was probably because he felt jealous over Xu Qiuyu?

Thinking about Qi Jingchen constantly tangling around him with his spiritual strength, the corners of Nie Yi’s lips couldn’t help but rise.

As Nie Yi paid attention to Qi Jingchen’s condition, he began trying to control the water in a basin at the side.

The water was created from Ping Shengchao’s ability. He currently could control the water inside, but once he brought out his own ability, it was still the hybrid water and fire ability that would manifest.

Nie Yi put his hand in the water basin, carefully sensing the condition of the water and attempting to mobilise the water element in his ability nucleus. However, the water and fire ability were mixed together in his ability nucleus, and he was unable to.

Slowly, the sky brightened, and the sunlight penetrated through the window, casting light throughout the room.

There was some movement beside him. Nie Yi looked over and saw Qi Jingchen opening his eyes.

Qi Jingchen’s complexion had been awful for the past few days, but today it had improved greatly. Yet, Nie Yi was still worried. “How do you feel? Any discomfort?” Intimate activities between men would hurt the person bottoming. Even though Nie Yi did not have any prior experience, he remembered this matter.

“I think my health is already fine. I feel very nice.” Qi Jingchen was long used to Nie Yi’s concern for him. Even if their relationship took a step forward, he didn’t feel embarrassed at all and was very calm.

Conversely, when Nie Yi heard the words ‘very nice’, he couldn’t help but think about last night, but he also soon thought of Qi Jingchen’s later condition, and immediately had complicated feelings.

He really did feel good last night, but maybe it wasn’t the case for Qi Jingchen&#k2026;

Nie Yi’s expression was a little ugly, but Qi Jingchen sat up from the bed.

His skin was currently very tender, and Nie Yi had left many marks on his body last night. But now, all the marks had already disappeared without a trace.

Not wearing any clothes made him feel a little cold... Qi Jingchen frowned a little and picked up the clothes by the side, wanting to put them on.

Nie Yi, however, swiftly stuffed him back under the covers, then shoved a few pieces of clothing under the blankets as well. “Wait for them to warm up, then put them on under the blankets.”

Qi Jingchen looked at Nie Yi, smiling. “Okay.”

When Nie Yi saw Qi Jingchen’s smile, he could no longer resist and finally kissed Qi Jingchen’s lips, backing away only after a long while. “Sorry.”

“What for?” Qi Jingchen looked over unhappily. Did Nie Yi do something that would upset him?

“My ability hasn’t recovered; you have to suffer feeling cold.” Nie Yi kissed Qi Jingchen’s face a couple more times.

Qi Jingchen had nearly forgotten about this, and frowned a little. “I’ll figure a way out for you.”

“Okay. I’ll go make some food.” Nie Yi smiled.

Simmering congee would waste a lot of time. Nie Yi was afraid that Qi Jingchen would wait too long, and ended up choosing to make flatbread.

He kneaded the dough, rolled the dough out thinly, brushed a layer of oil and sprinkled some salt and scallions, then folded them over a few times, and a thin flat cake was prepared. This method of making flatbread was something Nie Yi learnt from Mother Ping, and it was easy to prepare and delicious.

After making the flatbread, he made egg drop soup with chicken egg before carrying both to Qi Jingchen.

Qi Jingchen had already put on a shirt, then put his pants after eating and drinking his fill. He suddenly thought of something. “Have you eaten?”

With Qi Jingchen’s reminder, Nie Yi only now recalled that he forgot to eat. “I’ll go downstairs and eat flatbread.” The people responsible for food in the Chenguang Team would prepare noon flatbread in advance. It was already too late for breakfast at this time, but eating some flatbread would be fine.

“Let’s go ba,” Qi Jingchen said.

“You’re really okay?” Nie Yi asked again.

“I’m fine!” Qi Jingchen said. Last night, he had still felt some discomfort in his rear, but now, there was no sensation at all. His body’s recovery rate was, as expected, very good.

Even though Qi Jingchen said he was fine, Nie Yi was still very careful with him. Seeing that the weather outside was fine and sunny, he carried over a sofa and placed it in the courtyard, then boiled a cup of ginseng tea for Qi Jingchen with vitality-replenishing red ginseng. Only then did he go to the cooking area, where the person in charge had already made a lot of flatbread for lunch.

This sort of flatbread was unlike the thin flat cakes Nie Yi had made. It was extremely thick and very filling. Nie Yi cut it apart with a knife, then smeared some prepared soybean paste on it and ate.

There was often contaminated food in the kitchen, and Qi Jingchen’s nose was very sharp, so he did not follow Nie Yi, instead sitting on the sofa in the courtyard and ruminating over Nie Yi’s ability.

Unfortunately, he simply could not think of any solutions in such a short time, and had no choice but to look around him, bored.

This village chief’s home was not only well-built, but even the garden was managed beautifully. The entire courtyard was level and paved with cement, making it suitable for drying things. Decorative shrubs were built around it, and a few flowers and plants were planted.

These plants weren’t a rare breed, but did not lose leaves even during winter, felt quite soothing to the sight, and made Qi Jingchen miss his lettuce— He had been feeling unwell during these days, so Nie Yi had tossed the lettuce in a corner of the RV and did not allow him to hold it.

“Gan Jun, bring over my lettuce.” Qi Jingchen looked at the bodyguard beside him.

The current weather was very cold. If any other lettuce was tossed to a corner and left uncared for, perhaps it would have frozen and died, but Qi Jingchen’s lettuce only appeared a little dispirited.

But after staying by Qi Jingchen’s side for a while, it regained its vitality.

He could even treat a plant’s illness? Qi Jingchen touched a leaf of the lettuce, and continued to think about Nie Yi’s ability.

“Jingchen, please save your little sister!” Right at this time, a man’s voice suddenly rang out. After that, another woman’s voice rang out. “Qi Jingchen, please save my daughter!”

Qi Jingchen looked outside and realised that there were two people being blocked outside the courtyard by the Chenguang Team members. Weren’t they precisely the Xu couple?

Their eyes were somewhat puffy and red, and they were crying pathetically with a pitiful appearance, repeatedly asking for him to save Xu Qiuyu.

Qi Jingchen had nearly forgotten about last night’s matter, but now remembered it. He couldn’t help feeling a little revolted and frowned. “What does your daughter have to do with me?”

“Qi Jingchen, I know that what Xiao Yu did was wrong, but she isn’t even an adult yet. Can’t you forgive her?” Xu Yehui looked at Qi Jingchen with eyes filled with pleading.

“Please, save her,” Qiu Tong also said.

“Is she about to die?” Qi Jingchen asked. Yesterday, Xu Qiuyu had screamed very energetically after being injured, and didn’t appear to be dying.

Qiu Tong’s expression stiffened. “No.”

“Since she’s not going to die, why do you want me to save her?”

“Xiao Yu’s face is ruined, and she’s not willing to take any medicine now, even wanting to commit suicide...” Tears fell down Xu Yehui’s face. “She’s now constantly shouting for Nie shao, wanting to see Nie shao. Can you ask Nie shao to visit her?”

Qiu Tong also looked at Qi Jingchen with anticipation. Although Xu Qiuyu’s face and body were only slightly injured from the explosion, not treating her injuries would definitely kill her. “It’s enough as long as Nie Yi is willing to take a look at her. Please, we’re begging you.”

“Nie Yi won’t go,” Qi Jingchen rejected Xu Yehui without any hesitation.

Xu Yehui really did not expect Qi Jingchen would refuse, his expression immediately stiffening.

“Qi Jingchen, how could you be this malicious. Do you really want to destroy Xiao Yu?” Qiu Tong could no longer take it lying down, glaring at Qi Jingchen angrily.

Xu Qiuyu was her darling daughter. She hadn’t been willing to make her lift a single finger since she was a child, yet she was injured to such a degree last night! Previously, she still thought that Nie Yi was excellent, but after seeing her daughter’s condition, she hated Nie Yi a lot.

Clearly her daughter had already been injured to this point, but she still kept thinking about Nie Yi, wholeheartedly wanting to see him, even refusing to let others treat her wounds and shouting that she wanted to kill herself if she couldn’t.

Qiu Tong was also helpless, which was why she would come pleading to Qi Jingchen.

When Xu Yehui saw Qiu Tong becoming a little too emotional, he hurriedly reached out and tugged on Qiu Tong’s clothes, then said to Qi Jingchen, “Jingchen, we know what your sister did was wrong. Just take it as having pity on her, having pity on me.”

As he said this, he unexpectedly knelt on the ground.

Qiu Tong looked at her husband then gritted her teeth and knelt down as well. However, when she lifted her head to look at Qi Jingchen, her eyes had some unconcealable hatred.

Very, very long ago, she had seen Qi Jingchen before. At that time, she and Xu Yehui were already discussing marriage. Xu Yehui brought her back to his hometown, and there she saw a slight boy dressed in old and overly long clothes being brought before him, calling her auntie.

It was only then that she knew Xu Yehui actually had a son.

Although Xu Yehui said this child would be raised in the countryside and did not need her care, he was, after all, Xu Yehui’s son, Xu Yehui’s legitimate heir!

She began making a racket on the spot, unwilling to raise this child. In the end, she had her wish fulfilled, as he was given to someone else.

At that time, that child had such a prudent gaze when looking at her, his eyes filled with appeal. Yet now, she actually had to beg this person...

But she couldn’t not beg.

Qi Jingchen looked at everything before him, his gaze indifferent. “I won’t take pity on you.”

“How could you be like this?!” Right at this time, someone suddenly spoke up. He was a survivor saved during the journey after the Chenguang Team left Z County secure base. He was a fire ability user. He had protected several people in a small village and survived. He was fine otherwise as a person, but he liked fighting for justice a little too much. “Your father is kneeling on the ground and begging you, yet you’re actually so unconcerned!”

Qi Jingchen did not even look at him, instead he picked up the ginseng tea and took a sip, then frowned.

When Nie Yi was around, his tea would always be at an appropriate temperature, but this tea was currently a little cold... But, since Nie Yi’s ability had not recovered yet, even if Nie Yi was here, perhaps he would also be unable to help him warm the tea.

What in the world was going on with Nie Yi’s ability?

Qi Jingchen began thinking with a frown, but failed to grasp the main point. Meanwhile, those he ignored were practically about to burst from rage.

“I didn’t expect Nie Yi to actually like someone as cold-blooded as you!” the fire ability user said.

His words had barely fallen when he suddenly fell forward. It turned out that Nie Yi had actually kicked his butt. “Who did you say was cold-blooded?”

“Nie Yi?” The fire ability user was startled, then said, “Nie Yi, this person was actually so indifferent when he saw his father kneeling and begging. You actually want to like someone like him?”

“If I don’t like him, should I like you?” Nie Yi looked at the person before him and sneered. “You’re actually resentful towards Jingchen. If so, you can get lost. This place does not welcome you.”

This person was a little dazed upon hearing Nie Yi’s words, but Nie Yi no longer paid attention to him, looking at the husband and wife beside him. “Do you want to live or die?”

The killing intent coming from Nie Yi was clear, and Xu Yehui was suppressed so thoroughly he couldn’t breathe. He wanted to leave with his wife, but did not dare move at all.

“I’m in a good mood today, so I won’t kill you. But you’d better not let me see you from now on,” Nie Yi continued.

“Lock them and their daughter up together. Don’t let them strut around, and reduce their food by half,” Qi Jingchen suddenly said. Xu Yehui was just an ordinary person and wouldn’t be able to cause trouble even if he stayed. However, it was still best to not let him walk about lest he discovered their intentions to build another secure base.

Xu Yehui... had always been a very smart person.

“Do as Qi Jingchen says.” Nie Yi waved his hand.

Xu Yehui thought Qi Jingchen would sympathise with him, but he didn’t expect it to end in such an outcome...

He lifted his head and looked at Qi Jingchen, then realised that this son of his had entirely apathetic eyes. This sort of person was simply unlike what he had envisioned, certainly not a kept pet who served with his looks or someone imprisoned by Nie Yi.

He underestimated this person... If he had known it would be like this, he wouldn’t have provoked him in the first place!

Regardless of what Xu Yehui thought, he and Qiu Tong were swiftly taken away. Nie Yi really did bring the Chinese doctor over and ask him to take Qi Jingchen’s pulse.

“Qi shao health has improved a lot. Even though he’s still a bit weak, there isn’t much of a problem,” the doctor said. At the same time, he looked at Jingchen’s complexion with a little astonishment.

Qi Jingchen’s complexion had clearly been dreadful yesterday, yet there were huge changes in a single day!

“Really? Then should he eat something for a supplement?” Nie Yi revealed a happy expression, he really hadn’t thought that instead of being injured from their activities last night, he’d even become healthier.

Should he do it a few more times in the future?

“Letting Qi shao eat a little better will be fine,” the Chinese doctor said, then glanced at Qi Jingchen’s ginseng tea. Qi Jingchen’s diet was already the best among them all...

After sending off the Chinese doctor, Nie Yi said, “I’ll go hunting later, and find something for you to eat.”

“No need,” Qi Jingchen said.

“What’s wrong?”

“Nie Yi, do you have interest in winter swimming?” Qi Jingchen suddenly said. He had been thinking for a long while just now, and felt that for Nie Yi’s ability to recover, perhaps they should do something similar to when he had been watered, and directly go sense the two energies of fire and water.

“Then I’ll go catch some fish for you to eat.” Nie Yi also understood.

Zhang Zihai had just exited from the house when he happened to hear this, and was immediately startled.

This was... Qi Jingchen wanting to punish Nie Yi because of last night? If it was the previous Nie Yi, going into the river really would be fine, but now, he had a problem with his ability...

It was still his wife that was the best!
