I Have a Date with a Thousand-year-old Female Corpse-Chapter 1903 - 1905: Bringing Someone Home

At this moment, Little Liu interjected, making Li Chong extremely anxious: "Brother Li, my elder brother never lies, and you should know that he is a disciple of the Divine Doctor Hua Tuo."

Li Chong became flustered immediately: "Then, then what should we do!"

"Come back to Xuzhou with me. My master is currently spreading benevolence there, practicing medicine to help the world." With that, you turned to leave, "If you don’t want to go, then forget it."

"I’ll go, I’ll go! As long as I can save my mother, I’ll agree to whatever Brother asks!"

Turning your back on Little Liu and Li Chong, the corners of your mouth slightly curled up.

Four days later, you returned to Xuzhou with Li Chong and Mother Yang. Mother Yang soon received treatment from Hua Tuo, and to keep Li Chong, you recognized Mother Yang as your adopted mother, making Li Chong naturally your adopted brother.

You always had the habit of not keeping talent by your side, sending everyone to the borders for training. Li Chong was directly sent to the northern Kaiyang City. Before Li Chong left, you had a one-night talk with him, teaching him some tactics on training soldiers, and clearly stating that he could pass on some unique techniques of the Sect Master to the soldiers to enhance their combat capabilities.

Li Chong’s addition finally let you breathe a sigh of relief, as now Xuzhou had great generals guarding all four sides, and internal reforms were fervent. If there were a public opinion poll now, you’d definitely be re-elected. But of course, in this era, there’s no such thing.

That day, you got up in the morning and found that there wasn’t a single maid by your side. Grabbing your hair and stepping out of the room, you casually caught a maid to ask. Eventually, you learned that all of Zhen Luo’s women were too busy with tasks—either inspecting places or resting at their posts, not returning to the Great Leader’s Mansion. This made you exclaim loudly: "Damn, I never thought I’d marry a bunch of workaholics."

Your daily life was always attended by these ladies, and most of the maids in the mansion were taken away by them. Zhen Zhi, who had always protected you in the shadows, was also sent to Guangling to carry out your secret mission, leaving you without breakfast. Helpless, you could only rub your belly, clicking your tongue as you headed to the kitchen.

Upon arriving at the kitchen, you discovered a burly man chopping wood in the courtyard outside the kitchen door.

You focused your eyes, oh good fellow! This chap was splitting wood without using a knife, but with his bare hands!

At first, you didn’t say a word. You quietly stood behind the man, watching him split wood. His back was very familiar to you, that was the first impression you got of this man.

Before long, the man seemed to notice someone behind him. He turned his head, and you couldn’t help but be stunned. It turned out to be Zhang Fei, whom you had always overlooked!

Speaking of Zhang Fei, ever since he suffered Liu Bei’s betrayal, he hadn’t recovered. Fortunately, you hadn’t made things difficult for him, allowing him to work as an assistant in the kitchen. Over time, Zhang Fei’s temperament gradually calmed down.

Yet, this was only on the surface. You noticed a hint of hatred when Zhang Fei turned his head.

You fixed your gaze on Zhang Fei and asked, "Zhang Fei, do you hate me? Do you hate that my appearance created rifts between you brothers? Do you hate that my appearance highlighted your incompetence among the three brothers? And do you also hate that it made you see Liu Bei’s heartlessness and injustice?"

Zhang Fei did not speak but continued to chop wood with his hands.

"These days, you must see these logs as me; otherwise, you couldn’t have done this for so long. But, this is merely on the surface too; I’m standing right in front of you. If you really want to kill me, then come, I’ll give you this chance!"

Zhang Fei’s movements suddenly halted. Straightening up, he turned to you and roared like a fierce tiger, "Li Muyun, do you think I don’t dare!?"

The corners of your mouth slightly curled, smiling as you spoke: "I don’t believe the Zhang Fei is a coward. Come on, try using your hand knife to chop at my head?"

With one hand behind your back, your right hand extended and slightly lifted, then you made a highly provocative gesture toward Zhang Fei with a crook of your finger.

"Die!"

Zhang Fei gathered all his Qi Force, his voice thunderous, and struck swiftly toward you with one palm!

You didn’t retreat but advanced, delivering a fierce punch to Zhang Fei’s abdomen. This punch was as fast as a shadow; Zhang Fei couldn’t even see your movement, feeling only a shock in his abdomen, and then his entire body hunched over, falling at your feet.

"That punch just now, I didn’t use any Qi Force; it was my most primitive strength." With a smile, you sat down in front of Zhang Fei, not minding the dirt on the ground, and said to Zhang Fei, "Honestly, I really like your personality; that’s why you’re still alive today. Here, I’m too lazy to persuade you any further; everything is naturally clear in your heart. However, I must say one thing: if you continue to be so dejected, your life is over. If you figure it out, report to the army camp this afternoon. With your abilities, temporarily getting a position as a centurion shouldn’t be a problem."

"Why are you helping me?"

Zhang Fei endured the intense pain, looking straight at you.

"Because there’s one thing my little brother Wei Yan told me: back then, you refused Liu Bei’s renewed invitation, and you saved him." You stood up, patted Zhang Fei’s shoulder, and smiled as you said, "Actually, you shouldn’t have sworn brotherhood with Liu Bei and Guan Yu because they aren’t worthy."

After finishing, you turned and left.

That afternoon, you sat in the courtyard cultivating. While practicing, you integrated with nature; surrounded by bushes taller than you, people passing by didn’t even know you were there.

The Great Leader’s Mansion occupied a large area, but you’ve downsized it a lot, after all, more people would mean more wasted food and Silver Coin. Currently, only some essential staff was left in the mansion. Nonetheless, this allowed you to hear a lot of Bagua, along with comments from maids and lower-class men about you and your women.

Their opinion of you was unanimous: your moods are unpredictable and very terrifying. To this, you could only "ha ha".

Being feared by others should count as one of your achievements, right?

As dusk approached, you were preparing to mooch a meal at Wang Lang’s house when a shadow suddenly descended beside you.

"Lord, your subordinate has something to report."

"Speak."

You came out of the deep Breathing Technique, and with your first words, you indicated no further practice was needed.

The one who came was a team you secretly nurtured to monitor all aspects of Xuzhou. They monitored Xuzhou’s every move. This didn’t imply a lack of trust in your subordinates but was a routine necessity, a function every superior must have.

"It appears that Cao Cao in the north is making moves."
