Chaotic World Book
Chapter 165 - 161 Exchange

Chapter 165: Chapter 161 Exchange

This time, the communication with the blind man was probably the most extensive in history, and no longer hazy as before; it finally began to cover specific details.

Zhao Changhe was not surprised. This fellow had tricked people from the present world to come over, certainly for a purpose, and not just to watch a show. As long as he demonstrated enough value, she would only reveal more and more, slowly unveiling her ultimate goal.

Theoretically, the eye on the back of his head was his biggest concern since it could potentially contain a qualitative change like "Heavenly Vision." But Zhao Changhe had never deliberately trained this ability, just used it to sneak peeks at bathers. The main reason was that he felt it was an add-on from the blind man, which could be taken back if he acted up, so it was unreliable.

Even his actions were known to her; did she know because of the Chaotic World Book overlooking the world, or because she had an eye on him?

The thought sent shivers down his spine.

That being said, he had a strong dislike and wariness towards her, which the blind man probably knew. Did she really not care? Did she truly believe that the future would go her way?

Wait and see!

Zhao Changhe stretched leisurely and found that the external wounds on his body were no longer that painful.

The royal medicine was indeed remarkable, even better than the Cui Family’s. The Sword Qi that had slashed him to a bloody mess could heal overnight; remembering how Yue Hongling’s shoulder wound had bothered her for days and even affected her combat...

It seemed not to be entirely a good thing, after all. The little game of who would apply the medicine, with maids and head maids involved, seemed to lose its appeal...

With a sigh, Zhao Changhe stepped out of his room and saw Sisi standing beside a cluster of flowering trees, quietly observing the blossoms.

Whether as fake Hongling, fake maid, or revealing her true face at the end yesterday, the common point was that she was lively and flamboyant, and also quite coquettish. Now, alone with the flowers, she exuded a quiet grace, yet inexplicably, there was a touch of desolation and melancholy. The contrast between this and her previous demeanor was stark, more obvious than if she had changed her disguise.

Zhao Changhe looked at her still-exposed slender waist and pursed his lips without commenting on it. He walked up to her and asked, "Why are you standing here watching flowers alone?"

With a sigh, Sisi said, "Besides getting to know you, who else can I talk to here? It’s good enough that they don’t trouble me with pretending to be a maid... Isn’t it just solitude?"

"Uh... where did you sleep last night? You didn’t have a place to sleep before, you leaned in my room, knocking your head."

Finally turning to look at him, Sisi gave a somewhat mocking laugh, "It’s unusual that you even care where the maid sleeps."

Feeling somewhat apologetic, Zhao Changhe said, "I was really tired last night, covered in wounds, my mind was in chaos... I should have mentioned this to the Tang family..."

Sisi’s gaze circled around him, recalling how he had been badly injured and bloodied the day before, not made of much healthy flesh, she didn’t bother to lose her temper at him, instead scoffing: "When you’re abroad, you can’t be too fussy... I was thinking of sleeping on your bed, but then you would accuse me of being lewd, better forget it."

Zhao Changhe remained silent for a moment, then unexpectedly said, "Then, I suppose I will have to speak out."

Sisi: "?"

"Stop exposing your waist, okay?"

Sisi laughed suddenly, her voice alluring, "Do you think I dress this way to please you?"

Zhao Changhe replied, "No..."

"That’s exactly it." Sisi moved closer, whispering in a soft voice, "Master, do you find it appealing?"

This time, Zhao Changhe was taken aback.

"Want to touch?"

"..."

"Hmph, what an amorous little man you are, pretending day in and day out." Suddenly, Sisi’s expression changed, "I’ll expose my waist for anyone I like, who are you to me? Do you really think you are my master?"

Zhao Changhe replied helplessly, "If you resent me for thinking you are promiscuous, why don’t you care about others’ view of you? To them, this is the behavior of a demoness, why bother?"

"Because others are others, and you are you." Sisi gave him this short response, but seemed to feel that this statement was somewhat out of place, so she turned back to the flowers, "Fine, since you’ve said so, I will change into another dress later. But I still believe..."

"What?"

"I believe you just don’t want others to look at me, you found an excuse".

"..." Zhao Changhe said nothing more.

Sisi’s beautiful eyes twinkled as she teased cheerfully, "Actually, if we go by the Central Plains standard, I’m indeed quite promiscuous. Sir, why don’t you put in more effort? Maybe tonight you can have fun with a maid."

Zhao Changhe kept a straight face and said, "I’ve seen more waists than you have, and I’ve been even closer with many, yet they are all pure goddesses, so you might as well forget about impressing me with your little act."

Sisi asked curiously, "You’ve seen many like me?"

"Hmph," Zhao Changhe replied, "Actually, that’s not important."

"What is important then?"

"It’s that you want to control me; that’s the main conflict between us. My disrespect and teasing all stem from this."

Sisi opened her mouth, then hung her head again, as if she had just remembered that indeed, she had been the first to attack him...

Suddenly, the two of them had nothing to say and awkwardly looked at the flowers together.

After a long while, Zhao Changhe finally said, "Alright, considering you tried to block that strike from Maitreya, let’s call it even. We are friends now."

Sisi said, "Then tell me about the Dragon Sparrow. I’ve met the conditions to reveal its true form."

"Is it really its true form?"

"Yes."

"The Dragon Sparrow is the founding Emperor’s sword, embodying his imperial dominance and resolute fighting spirit. It cannot be treated with disrespect. If you talk nicely and smile apologetically, it will let you use it and won’t throw a fit. As for why I possess knowledge from various families, there’s no need to look into it, because I myself have abandoned it already."

"The Emperor’s Sword..." Sisi murmured to herself, "This Your Majesty is truly incredible; he has already touched upon the powers of God Demons. With such an Emperor, why has Jiangshan become such a mess..."

Zhao Changhe asked, "Do you know a lot about the powers of the God Demons?"

Sisi glanced at him but didn’t answer, nor did she continue asking. So, speaking nicely and smiling would grant me the use of Dragon Sparrow? Maybe, but making it exhibit its full power, that’s impossible.

After all this time, both parties were still hiding things from each other.

Sisi sighed, suddenly feeling bored, both with herself and with him.

Zhao Changhe suddenly said, "Speaking of which... you want to learn the martial arts of the Central Plains, and I’d like to learn something from you. Couldn’t we exchange some knowledge?"

Sisi asked curiously, "What do you want?"

"Qinggong and Disguise Technique."

Sisi smiled slightly, "You seem to know a lot, but currently, I’m only interested in the Spring Water Sword Intent and the Spiritual Fox Saber Intent. Do you dare to trade the Spring Water Sword Intent?"

"I dare not, but Spiritual Fox Saber Intent is possible."

"One for one, you can choose between Qinggong and Disguise Technique to trade."

Without hesitation, Zhao Changhe immediately said, "Disguise Technique."

Sisi was somewhat surprised, "I thought you would choose Qinggong. Isn’t that more important than Disguise Technique?"

"There are many sources for Qinggong, but such a miraculous Disguise Technique may be one of a kind. Besides, Qinggong is a core cultivation technique of the Thief Sect. Just because the Thief Saint is generous with you doesn’t mean it’s allowed to spread... Disguise Technique is less critical, so it’s relatively okay." Zhao Changhe chuckled, "If I had to flatter you, there’s another reason."

"What’s that?"

"That bit of Spiritual Fox Saber Intent is just superficial knowledge; it’s not equivalent to Qinggong, so I’m not taking advantage of you."

"If we have to say, that superficial knowledge isn’t enough to trade for the Disguise Technique either." Sisi’s eyes danced playfully, "Can you add something more to the deal?"

Zhao Changhe didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, "What else do you want?"

"You mentioned Murong a few times, as well as some maid who is good at disguise. I want that story."
