Rebirth As a Fatuous and Self-indulgent Ruler

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

After Shi left, Long decided to go to meet Liu.

Liu was staying in his own room and he wasn’t surprised to see Long coming.

“What’s the matter?”

Long stared at him. “I’ve made up my mind. Please dredge my meridians.”

“Oh?” Liu smiled. “You’ve decided so soon? I thought you’d think for a longer time.”

Long rolled his eyes. “It’s been two days. How long do think it would take?”

Liu also rolled his eyes. “I don’t know! You are afraid of pain. So I thought you would need a lot of days to think about it!”

Being ridiculed, Long was deeply unhappy!

So he glared at Liu.

Liu stood up from the chair with a smile. “In fact, it doesn’t take too long to dredge the meridians. I’ve prepared everything. If you want to do it, half a day will be enough. Since Shi Qingzhou is not here, let’s do it right away, shall we?”

Long blinked and nodded. “Okay.”

Liu smiled. “All right. You wait here. I’ll get something ready.”

With that, Liu left.

About a quarter of an hour later, Ouyang came in from outside.

He closed the door at once. “I’ll do something first. Take off your coat.”

Long blinked. “Hmm? What are you going to do?”

Ouyang rolled his eyes. “What? Are you afraid that I’ll assault you?”

“You are unbelievable!” Long pretended to be afraid and grasped his collar. “What are you talking about? Do you really want to do it? Oh no! The person you like is not Liu Suifeng, but me?”

Ouyang’s face darkened. “You think too much.”

Long laughed. “I can’t help thinking like that. You know I’m so handsome that all the people in the nation like me.”

Ouyang found it ridiculous. “I really didn’t expect an emperor to be so thick-skinned.”

Long said seriously, “I have to be like this. Otherwise, how can I reign?”

Ouyang rolled his eyes. “Alright. Stop talking nonsense and take off your clothes.”

Long curled his lips. “You should feel happy that Qingzhou isn’t here. If he was here, he would certainly tear you into pieces.”

Ouyang got angry. “You…”

Long slowly took off all the clothes, except underwear.

Ouyang also curled his lips. “Only you think you’re handsome. Your body isn’t attractive at all.”

Long blinked and said very seriously, “You’re looking at my body so carefully. Are you jealous or do you like me? Ouyang Chuan, I’m not interested in you. Don’t be like this, or Qingzhou will misunderstand.”

Ouyang’s face darkened.

Long continued to say, “Ouyang Chuan, falling in love with me will be very painful, because I already have someone in my heart. In addition, you’re dating Liu Suifeng now. It’s really not good to betray him so soon.”

Ouyang was so angry that he wanted to stab Long with his sword!

“Shut up!” Ouyang couldn’t bear it!

Long curled his lips. “What’s this for? I’m just saying what’s in your mind, but you got furious. Tut. You’re really bad-tempered.”

Just as Ouyang was about to beat Long, the door opened. Then, Liu went in with some herbs.

He asked with doubt, “Well? Haven’t you started yet?”

Ouyang was livid. “His life or death has nothing to do with me. I’m leaving.”

With that, Ouyang turned around and left, just leaving Long there.

Liu was very confused, but Ouyang had already left and he also slammed the door.

Liu turned to look at Long. “What did you say to him to make him so angry?”

Long blinked. “Why didn’t you think that he’s angry because I did something to him? For example, I touched him or did something else.”

The corners of Liu’s mouth twitched. “In terms of martial arts, you’re no match for him. He can defeat you even with one finger. What do you think you can do?”

Long laughed. “You think so little of me. Sneak attacks don’t need great martial arts. Perhaps, he really likes me. So when he saw my sexy body, he couldn’t help but throw himself at me.”

Liu couldn’t believe what he had heard. “What the hell are you talking about?”

Long shrugged. “Nothing. You asked me, so I just told the truth.”

Liu shook his head and he didn’t understand why Long did that.

“You angered him by saying these things? Why did you do that?”

Long curled his lips. “I didn’t want to anger him, but you know that man very well. He wanted to argue with me, so I just did what he wanted. Who would have thought that he would be so angry and leave like that? By the way, why did you bring him here?”

“I asked him to transfer some energy to you,” Liu said, “I’m afraid I’ll overexert myself. It won’t be good if I can’t hold on.”

“Oh. It’s like this. But he’s already gone,” Long said.

Liu rolled his eyes. “Yeah, thanks to you. If he doesn’t come back later, I can only do it by myself. If I’m exhausted and something bad happens to me, you’ll be held responsible.”

Long didn’t think he’d done anything wrong. “He got angry and left. Does that have anything to do with me? I didn’t want that to happen, either. Who knows that he’s so vulnerable?”

Liu really didn’t want to talk more with him. “Alright. You have a sharp tongue just as him, you know? Go to sit cross-legged on the bed. Gather the internal strength in your body and try to make it work. I’ll be back in a moment.”

Long blinked and said sincerely, “To be honest, I’ve forgotten how to use it.”

Liu couldn’t believe that. “Long Xiaoyuan, are you kidding me?”

Long sighed. “I mean it… Liu Suifeng, I was once injured. After I woke up, I forgot some things, including how to do martial arts and use internal strength. Otherwise, I would definitely fight when it’s needed.”

Liu was stunned. He fixed his eyes on Long and said, “Are you being serious?”

Long nodded. “Yes. I didn’t lie to you. I’m telling the truth.”

Liu was very surprised. “You… Let me have a check.”

“Oh.” Long nodded. Nobody would find that his soul had been exchanged, except some great Taoist master. But was there really such a capable master in this world?

Long didn’t think there was. So he was not afraid to let Liu check on him.

Liu began to examine him carefully. After a long time, he said, “There’s nothing wrong.”
