Chapter 72: “Understanding the Greater Good”

“Lecher, what are you doing? Let go of my Miss right now.” Xiangling rushed forward in a panic, desperately pulling at Lei Qing.

A large group of bandits had followed them in and crowded near the rockery not far away. Hearing Xiangling’s scream, the bandits glanced at each other and smiled knowingly. They thought to themselves, the Boss is indeed the Boss. He worked all night last night, and now in broad daylight, he is burning with desire and cannot hold back. This kind of dominance, this kind of energy, is truly something ordinary people cannot achieve. Do you know what it means to submit?

“Shh~ keep it down.” Lei Qing gave a dry laugh and said fawningly to Li Baobao: “Um, Baobao, do me a favor, please.”

Li Baobao blushed and turned her head to break free from the thieving hand covering her mouth. She rolled her eyes and hummed softly: “Baobao this, Baobao that? Am I very close to you? Also, Xiangling, you be quiet and stay away from this big pervert, so he doesn’t take advantage of you.”

Xiangling stepped back as she was told, staring at Lei Qing with a changing expression. If he made any improper move, she would immediately pounce on him like a tigress. Even if it cost her life, she would not let him succeed.

“Look, look at what you are saying?” Lei Qing gave a hey hey laugh and said with a wronged look in a low voice: “Last night we hugged each other and slept together all night. You can’t just wake up and turn your back on me, right?” Looking at his appearance, he really looked like a resentful little wife who had been abandoned after being played with.

Seeing his vivid acting, even with Li Baobao’s current state of mind, she could not help but burst out laughing. But immediately she put on a haughty look, held back her laughter, tilted her head and said with a bit of pride: “This Miss just turns her back on you, so what?”

“Miss, you weren’t really… by this lecher, were you?” Xiangling felt something was wrong as she looked around. She leaned in anxiously and asked with concern.

“Xiangling, what nonsense are you talking about?” Li Baobao’s face turned red. She turned her head and scolded in a low voice: “I wasn’t… anything… by this stinking bandit.”

“Then you…” Xiangling looked at Lei Qing, then looked at her own Miss. It seemed like there was some problem no matter how she looked at it. But she couldn’t figure out exactly what the problem was.

“Go on, little girl. Adults are talking, don’t interrupt. Go stand over there.” Lei Qing waved his hand pretentiously. But then he immediately leaned forward again, showing a fawning smile and currying favor: “To take a step back, just considering that I really didn’t do anything to you last night, you should help me with this small favor, right? Miss Li, you are the most beautiful, cutest, most lovely, and most temperamentally moving woman I have ever seen. Last night I held myself back from eating you up; think of the willpower that took!”

“Hmph, insincere words and sweet talk.” She hummed softly, but still showed some enjoyment. She rolled her beautiful eyes and said: “Why should I sacrifice my innocence to help you with this favor?”

“If you don’t help, I’m dead meat.” Lei Qing put on a bitter face, looking pathetic. He lowered his voice and leaned close to her ear to whisper a few sentences.

She felt that numb, strange sensation again. But after hearing him out, even though Li Baobao was an unmarried young lady, she couldn’t help but blush and laugh: “Soft-Footed Tiger, Floppy Snake? Hee hee, that’s killing me.”

“What’s so funny?” Lei Qing was a bit annoyed and said grumpily: “We are out here in the martial world, aren’t we just making a name for ourselves? If a nickname like that really sticks, even if I make a huge name for myself later, people will laugh me to death. Just think about it, a famous and powerful boss sees me, gets a big shock, hurries over, cups his hands and says ‘So you are the one who shook the Seven Kingdoms and trampled the Continent. Up the mountain to catch tigers, down the sea to capture dragons. The famous Black Flag Army Commander, ‘Floppy Snake’ Lei Qing, Commander Lei! I have long admired your name, it is like thunder in my ears, nice to meet you. Brothers, come and pay respects to ‘Floppy Snake’ Senior, greet ‘Floppy Snake’ Senior.'”

“Pfft, hee hee!” Seeing him describe it so vividly, Li Baobao couldn’t hold back her laughter again. Although her hands and feet were tied, she couldn’t help but twist her body and lie on the bed, almost dying of laughter: “Flo… Floppy Snake Senior.”

“What are you laughing at?” Lei Qing gave a wry smile: “My bunch of bandit subordinates are probably eavesdropping outside right now. If I don’t show some prestige, do you think they will give me a good nickname? Even if it’s not Soft-Footed Tiger or Floppy Snake, it definitely won’t be anything good. Besides, if my bandit nickname sounds bad, it will affect you too. When people see you, they will say, ‘Oh, isn’t this the eldest daughter of the Li Family? She personally led the Li Clan’s Imperial Guard to wipe out a lousy group of bandits, but actually lost the battle and even lost her chastity to the bandit leader Floppy Snake.'”

“Who… who lost… that?” Li Baobao almost laughed herself out of breath. She turned her head and said with a shy and charming look: “What nickname people give you, what does that have to do with This Miss? Why should I help you?”

“Since you won’t help, then I have no other choice.” Lei Qing gave a hey hey laugh: “For the sake of Lei Qing’s reputation for a lifetime, even if it goes against my principles in life, I have to do it once today. You two, master and servant, neither of you can escape today. Just wait for the three of us to sleep together under one quilt. Baobao, don’t force me.”

“Hmph, stinking hooligan, dirty bandit. If you want to do it, just do it. Do you think I’m afraid of you?” Being said to by him like that, Li Baobao was surprised to find that she didn’t feel afraid in her heart.

“Lustful demon, lecher! Even if I die, I won’t let you succeed!” Xiangling’s willpower was obviously a bit better than her Miss’s. Her pretty face turned pale with anger as she shouted in shame and rage.

“Alright, alright, Xiangling, you say a few words less.” Li Baobao was also really a bit worried that if she angered Lei Qing too much, he would do something that would outrage gods and men. For example, master and servant, doing… that. Thinking of that word, she couldn’t stop herself from imagining that scene. It was just too, too evil.

“Baobao, you really understand the greater good.” Lei Qing said with a fawning smile.

“Hmph, understand the greater good, my foot.” Li Baobao glared at him in annoyance: “This Miss just doesn’t want Xiangling to be poisoned by you. By the way, you just said you don’t want nicknames like Floppy Snake or Soft-Footed Tiger. Do you have an ideal one yourself?”

“Isn’t a bandit nickname supposed to be given by others?”

“Idiot, with your intelligence, you still came out to be a bandit leader. Sooner or later, you will be wiped out and become a stepping stone for others to make a name for themselves.” Li Baobao huffed angrily at his failure to improve: “Our Li Chamber of Commerce does business. If we have a product to sell, there will be a series of promotions. You just want to become famous, right? Fame can be hyped up too.”

“There’s such a trick?” Lei Qing gave a hey hey laugh, leaned forward, and helped Li Baobao massage her shoulders as he said: “Look, how about the nickname Little White Dragon?”

Li Baobao almost fainted. She rolled her eyes and said: “You look like you come from a wealthy family too. What did you do when your family made you study culture? Little White Dragon, I can’t believe you came up with such a tacky nickname.”

“Little White Dragon Lei Qing, sounds pretty good, doesn’t it?” Lei Qing rubbed his nose, and his eyes suddenly lit up: “Then how about Jade-Faced Gentleman? I count as a dashing, handsome Young Master anyway. Jade-Faced Gentleman Lei Qing, good name, good title.”

“Good, good your damn head! Jade-Faced Gentleman, why don’t you call yourself Jade-Faced Little White Dragon? Besides, with your looks, do you have anything to do with being dashing and handsome?” Li Baobao began to despair of Lei Qing’s level of culture. What did this guy do during culture classes in his family? Could it be that he really spent all day riding horses, walking dogs, drinking, and chasing girls?

“Then, you think of one for me.” Lei Qing said somewhat unconvinced.

“I’ve been tied up by you for two days. My hands are sore and my feet are numb. I can’t think of one.” Li Baobao said coldly.

“That’s easy to handle.” Lei Qing drew his Lian Zhan and waved it lightly. The sword struck out, and the sword light flashed. It cut the leather ropes on her hands and feet without missing a hair’s breadth. Then he very servilely leaned forward again and started rubbing her hands and kneading her legs, his face full of fawning: “Is it comfortable? Does it feel good? Now that your blood and qi are flowing smoothly, can you think of one?”

“Mmh mmh, a little harder. Rub the elbow a few more times. I’m still missing just a little bit, I’m about to think of it.” Li Baobao truly felt a wave of comfort. Especially since that guy was skilled in Heavenly Thunder Fighting Qi. As it drilled into her body, it felt numb and tingling, and it really had the effect of promoting blood circulation.

Miss Li enjoyed Lei Qing’s service proudly, but suddenly forgot that she, a noble young lady of status, had never had her arms rubbed or her calves massaged by a man before.
