I Have Unlimited Dantians

"Huh?" Hearing this, Nie Yun was mortified.

’To think that I, the dignified Blood Prison Demon Venerable who lived for hundreds of years, was being called a lecher...’

’It’s no wonder, though. I was so lost in memories of my past life that I forgot I was staring straight at her. Under the circumstances, it would be strange if I *wasn’t* labeled a pervert!’

"Heh, kid, don’t get any funny ideas. This is the princess of our Iron Rock Mercenary Corps, the leader’s daughter. With your level of strength, you’ve got a long way to go!"

Just as Nie Yun was feeling awkward, a hearty laugh rang out from among the Mercenaries.

If he were plotting against them, he would have already known who Tie Lan was. Seeing him make such a fool of himself over her dispelled the group’s suspicions, and their attitude softened considerably.

"I..."

Nie Yun never expected to be misunderstood like this. He wanted to explain, but he didn’t know what to say.

"No need for ’I this’ or ’I that’! Lan’er is the flower of our Mercenary Corps. Her beauty is top-notch even in Divine Wind City. It’d be stranger if you *weren’t* mesmerized!"

Seeing Nie Yun’s odd expression, the man shot him a suggestive look that said, ’We’re all men, I get it,’ and said with a laugh.

"Heheh!" Realizing it was pointless to explain, an idea struck Nie Yun. He scratched his head and said, "Brothers, can I travel with you all? Just let me tag along. I’ll do anything!"

’Since they’re a Mercenary Corps, they must be here on a mission. Judging by how vigilant they are, this mission is probably anything but simple. In my past life, I never had the chance to repay her. But in this life, I can take this opportunity to fulfill that wish!’

"Tag along?" The Qi Sect Powerhouse in the crowd glanced at the boy, then at the girl. He smiled and shook his head but didn’t object. "Alright, you can follow us. But I’ll tell you right now, the mission we’re on is extremely dangerous. You’ll have a slim chance of survival. You’d better think it over carefully!"

"A slim chance of survival? All the more reason to come along!"

’This kind of mission is extremely dangerous. In my past life, Tie Lan definitely didn’t die, but many things have changed since my rebirth. Who knows if some accident will happen?’

’So, for me, the more dangerous it is, the more I have to go with them!’

"Not bad, you’ve got guts! I, Liao Feng, like people like you!" The brawny man who had spoken earlier laughed.

In everyone’s eyes, this boy had clearly decided to follow them on a whim. The reason was simple: he had fallen in love with their young miss, Tie Lan, at first sight!

Although they felt the boy and their young miss would never end up together, it would still be fun to watch!

After all, they were always walking on the edge of death, and the mental strain was immense. If they didn’t find ways to amuse themselves, the pressure would surely crush them!

Besides, he dared to agree immediately despite his low strength and knowing the mission was almost certainly fatal. This also made everyone develop a good impression of Nie Yun.

"He’ll just slow us down! Uncle Tie Long, don’t pay any attention to him!" Hearing her uncle’s tone, which seemed to imply he would let the boy come along, Tie Lan’s brow furrowed.

She valued martial strength above all else. One look at this boy and you could tell he was frail. His Qi Sea strength, in particular, was only at the Qi Nourishing Realm, which was pathetically weak. Bringing someone like him along would just be a burden!

"Heh, if he wants to follow, let him follow. If he runs into danger, he can deal with it himself. We’ll just stay out of it," the Qi Sect Powerhouse named Tie Long said with a laugh.

’I know my own niece perfectly well. Tie Lan is talented and hardworking. She’s already twenty this year but still doesn’t have a partner. It isn’t because she has trouble finding one, but because her personality is so formidable that no one dares to approach her...’

’This kid’s strength is nothing special, but he’s shameless enough to latch on to us the moment we met. The thickness of his skin is truly unparalleled. It would be fun to let him tag along and watch that girl Lan’er get flustered for a change...’

If Nie Yun knew what Tie Long was thinking, he would absolutely want to kill him!

’I’m the dignified Blood Prison Demon Venerable, a master who values his reputation! Since when has the thickness of my skin been unparalleled...’

"Kid, what’s your name? We’ll be traveling together from now on!" Seeing that Tie Long had agreed, the brawny man named Liao Feng walked over with a smile and clapped Nie Yun on the shoulder.

"My name is Nie Yun!" Nie Yun said with a smile.

"Nie Yun? That name sounds really familiar!" Liao Feng frowned.

"Of course it sounds familiar! Didn’t we hear about a legendary young prodigy named Nie Yun a while back? They say he’s not even twenty yet and has already reached the Qi Sect Realm!" one of the Mercenaries interjected.

"What?" Nie Yun jumped in surprise.

’Since when did I reach the Qi Sect Realm? Am I that famous?’

"Oh, right! My memory is so bad. You told me about him a few days ago. They say even a Peak of Qi Sect Demon is no match for him. What a genius... You’re also named Nie Yun. It couldn’t be you, could it?" Liao Feng shot Nie Yun a peculiar look.

"Uhh..." Just as Nie Yun was wondering how to respond, he heard the girl snort coldly. "There are plenty of people who share a name. Does that make them the same person? Hmph. The real Nie Yun is extraordinarily powerful despite his youth. I’ve also heard he’s dignified and dashingly handsome. Now look at *this* one—shifty-eyed and treacherous-looking. You can tell at a glance he’s no good. How could he possibly be that Peak of Qi Sect Nie Yun? I’d say it’s more likely he idolizes the real one and is just using his name!"

’Shifty-eyed and treacherous-looking...’ Hearing her assessment, Nie Yun was speechless.

’I might not be devastatingly handsome, but I’m still quite dashing, alright? Since when did ’shifty-eyed’ start to look this good...’

’But even though I’m exasperated, I don’t dare argue. After all, her interruption saved me the trouble of having to explain whether or not I’m *that* Nie Yun.’

"See? I knew it! The legendary Nie Yun is incredibly powerful, someone even I admire. How could he possibly be a frail-looking guy like you!" Liao Feng laughed.

"Uhh, actually, my name is Yangg Yun. I just gave Nie Yun’s name casually," Nie Yun said, resignedly changing his name.

"That’s more like it. It’s always best to be honest. Yangg Yun, hmm, that’s not a bad name either! From now on, you can stick with me. My name is Liao Feng, and I’m at the Mid-Stage Armor Realm!"

Liao Feng introduced himself.

He then introduced Nie Yun to the others. From his speech and mannerisms, it was clear that Liao Feng was a straightforward person. Nie Yun really liked people like that, and the two of them gradually started talking more and more.

Those who became Mercenaries were generally hot-blooded men who were easy to get along with. Having lived two lives, Nie Yun was worldly and experienced. He made a deliberate effort to befriend them, and every word he said seemed to strike a chord. In less than ten minutes of chatting, the men had all developed a favorable impression of the boy—all except for Tie Lan.

Tie Lan was dead set on the idea that Nie Yun was a pervert. Otherwise, why would he forget his own business and insist on following them just after seeing her "beauty"? Her contempt for him only grew.

Seeing the girl’s attitude, Nie Yun could only offer a faint smile. Based on his understanding of her from his previous life, he knew she was actually very kind-hearted. Her current attitude was just a misunderstanding. Once it was cleared up, everything would be fine!
