During the Qin Dynasty, he brought chaos to the seven kingdoms.

Chapter 5 3rd Baby Salamander

The sky was bright.

A faint, ethereal flute melody drifted from the courtyard outside the house.

The flute's sound was neither loud nor harsh, its melody clear and melancholic, like a broken wisp of wind, as if it had a bellyful of unfulfilled worries.

Cao Yuan was drowsy and his eyes were blurry with sleep.

He felt a little sad for some reason, and wanted to cry, but he didn't know why he wanted to cry.

"Holy crap..."

Cao Yuan suddenly woke up with a start and sprang out the door.

A slender and well-proportioned woman was sitting on a tree branch.

She wore a fitted, off-the-shoulder long dress in a purple-blue hue, her shoulders perfectly sculpted, and her skin smooth and fair.

Her delicate and charming small face was adorned with a small, alluring purple butterfly-shaped eyebrow, which added an extra touch of charm to her already captivating appearance.

But beneath her alluring face lay a faint sorrow, a sorrow for those who share her fate.

At this moment, Li Wu closed her beautiful eyes, holding a flute in her hands, pressing it against the heavy, terrifying snow-white flesh in front of her, and played the flute with complete absorption, seemingly unaware of Cao Yuan's sudden arrival.

"Miss Li Wu, can we stop this nonsense?"

The closer they got to the dance, the more powerful the flute music became, and Cao Yuan was moved to tears.

Why are his eyes always filled with tears...?

Because I truly possess an incorruptible spiritual body!

It's true, you really can't cultivate!

It's really difficult!

Li Wu could easily make him cry by simply playing her flute on him!

"Young man, you seem to be in a real hurry, you're even crying!"

Li Wu stopped playing the flute, concealing her self-pity, and climbed down from the tree. With her hands behind her back, she walked to Cao Yuan's side and teased with a light laugh, "Tell your sister, did you dream of her and shed tears because you couldn't have the love you desired?"

Cao Yuan wiped his face and said irritably, "I dreamt of Lady Jingni!"

He was having a wonderful dream; Jingni had given birth to twins, a boy and a girl, and they were discussing having a third child when…

Even if you're not naturally grumpy when you wake up, you'll be made to be grumpy in the morning!

Li Wu narrowed her phoenix eyes, a dangerous glint flashing within them.

"I'm giving you one more chance to speak."

Cao Yuan jolted awake, his drowsiness vanishing instantly.

Holy crap, I was careless... I made a huge mistake!

"In my dream, Lord Jingni disapproved of my relationship with Miss Liwu. I loved Miss Liwu so much, and I desperately wanted to keep her with me, but Lord Jingni cruelly separated us... Ah, my heart aches so much..."

Cao Yuan turned his face away, trying hard to force a pained expression, as if Li Wu was truly the love of his life.

Li Wu remained unmoved, watching Cao Yuan's clumsy acting with a smile, and casually asked a question.

"Did the me in my dream... love you?"

"Um... this..."

Li Wu's simple rhetorical question silenced Cao Yuan.

He was, after all, just a trainee in the Aquaman program. Suddenly encountering a life-threatening challenge at the Aquaman level caused him to malfunction a bit. It seems he still needs to accumulate experience and practice for another two and a half years.

That said, Cao Yuan was speechless.

Why are you, a female assassin, so concerned about love?

What's it to you?!

"Come here."

A cold, emotionless voice rang out.

Li Wu and Cao Yuan were both startled, only then realizing that Jing Ni was standing in the corridor.

Damn it... Can't you experts act like human beings?! You're terrifying!

Cao Yuan looked at the solitary figure under the corridor, his heart pounding.

"Lord Jing Salamander..."

Li Wu lowered her head and obediently greeted Jing Ni.

Jing Ni wore a blue and yellow dress, her waist was outlined by a ribbon, making her extremely slender, revealing a more abundant figure than Li Wu, and her buttocks were very full.

Even without makeup, her stunning figure remained captivating, not to mention her clear, cool eyes, arched eyebrows, delicate, thin lips, and exquisitely beautiful face.

Aside from being too cold, it has no downsides.

Jingni looked at Li Wu, who had her head down, and said calmly, "From now on, you are not allowed to play the flute in the early morning."

"oh……"

Li Wu's charming face showed some annoyance, and she couldn't help but glare at Cao Yuan.

Cao Yuan was secretly gloating. "Serves you right for playing around so early in the morning, and you even gave me a death trap."

Jingni raised her beautiful eyes slightly, her gaze falling on Cao Yuan, a hint of interest and curiosity in her eyes.

She parted her thin lips slightly, her voice cool and clear: "You just said... you dreamt about me last night? What did you dream about me about?"

Cao Yuan was secretly pleased to see Li Wu get the short end of the stick, but when he heard Jing Ni's words, he fell silent.

Can I say that?

Are you thinking of having a third child?

Cao Yuan, quick-witted, respectfully said, "I dreamt that Lord Jingni asked me how to obtain the bronze treasure box from the Nameless Sword Saint and how to complete the mission."

Jingni felt a little disappointed and bored for some reason.

She nodded. "Perfect timing, I was just looking for you. We need you for this mission."

Li Wu glanced at Cao Yuan with disdain in her phoenix eyes.

Knowing this guy as she did, there was absolutely no way he would be concerned about the mission even in his dreams!

If that's true, she ate the flute!

Cao Yuan's heart skipped a beat. Was it coming?

He revealed that he had a good relationship with Yan Lu, which indeed caught Jing Ni's attention.

"Lady Jingni, is there anything I can do for you?"

"Nameless, the master of the Han Guang Sword, is a peak Grandmaster. He is a good friend of Lu Goujian, the Three-Handed Sword Demon. He is indifferent to fame and fortune and does not compete with the world."

Jingni handed the information about Wuming to Cao Yuan, saying, "I need you to get close to Wuming through that child and find an opportunity to steal the bronze box."

Cao Yuan said, "What if we get discovered..."

Jing Ni said calmly, "Wu Ming never kills innocent people, so you don't need to worry about him killing you or crippling you, because you are just an ordinary person."

Li Wu chuckled lightly, "It is indeed very suitable for an incompetent person like you."

Cao Yuan retorted to Li Wu, "If you can do it, then you do it!"

Li Wu snorted softly. If Jing Ni hadn't been there, she would have shoved her foot into Cao Yuan's mouth!

……

Linzi Academy.

Zihan walked out of the study with a pale face, puffy eyes, bloodshot eyes, and dark circles under her eyes, her steps unsteady.

He looks exactly like an old otaku who stays up all night playing League of Legends.

At this moment, he was tightly holding a piece of silk cloth in his hand, which was covered with dense, ugly characters.

It was Cao Yuan who gave him the first draft of "Human Nature is Good or Evil"!

"Meng Jiang!" Zihan roared, "Where is Cao Yuan?!"

Xiao Mengjiang, who was fetching water, was startled, and the copper basin fell to the ground, spilling water all over the floor.

"Is Aman in the shop...?"

As soon as Xiao Mengjiang finished speaking, Zihan, who had been walking unsteadily, vanished without a trace in an instant, as if she had learned the Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique).

Xiao Mengjiang was at a loss.

Could it be that something happened to Cao Cao?

She felt uneasy thinking about how Cao Cao had sent her to stay at the Confucian academy. After hesitating for a while, she hurriedly left the academy and ran to the "Golden Key" locksmith shop.

……

"Golden Key" Locksmith Shop.

A wooden sign with the words "Closed" was hanging on the shop door.

Inside the hall, three cobblers were engaged in a heated "communication".

Of course, it was just Li Wu and Cao Yuan having a passionate online battle.

Jing Ni knelt expressionlessly in the middle, which prevented the two from completely losing their minds and resorting to hand-to-hand combat.

"Idiot! Go directly to that child and then approach Nameless!"

Li Wu unleashed her full power against Cao Yuan, her self-righteous demeanor, coupled with her surging, malevolent form, making her appear extremely aggressive.

Cao Yuan sneered disdainfully, "You think Wuming is an idiot who can't see anything? A brainless, beautiful but stupid woman!"

"What did you say?! Say it again!"

Li Wu slammed her hand on the table and stood up, her pretty face full of anger. Her chest heaved with rage, and she almost rolled up her sleeves and started fighting Cao Yuan on the spot. It was only thanks to Jing Ni sitting in the middle with a cold face that she was able to hold back.

Cao Yuan sneered, "Say it again, it won't cure your brain."

He realized that the "small" in Pan Lu Deng Xiao Xian's strategy was useless, and it would be better to fight Li Wu a few more times and have a direct confrontation.

Anyway, with Jing Ni around, he's the protected animal of the Luo Wang until the bronze treasure box is opened!

"Um?"

Jingni suddenly stood up, her sharp gaze fixed on the shop door.

"boom!"

Outside the door, a seemingly frail young man kicked the door open and scrambled in, grabbing Cao Yuan's leg and howling, "Brother Cao! What happened to your lower half?! Where's your lower half?!"

Cao Yuan: "O(≧口≦)O"

Li Wu: "(°ー°〃)"

Jing Ni: "(⊙ˍ⊙)"
