I'm full of rebellion against fate

Chapter 440: Tea Stall Martial Arts

"A long, long time ago, so long ago that it's hard to say which dynasty it was, there was an emperor who was extremely licentious, foolish and incompetent. He was very worried that his dynasty would be overthrown, so he called in his ministers to discuss the matter.

The minister told the emperor: "Your five elements are not good, and your fate is to have swords. If you want to stabilize the dragon vein, you must forge a peerless sword. With it, Your Majesty will surely make the dynasty prosperous!"

From then on, it was said among the people that whoever possessed the Xuanwu Sword would rule the world!

In a small tea stall, a man was holding a paper fan and a wake-up stick on the table. He was telling interesting stories about martial arts in a vivid manner, and the tea drinkers around him all pricked up their ears and listened to his stories quietly.

The waiter pouring tea would occasionally chime in to add to the atmosphere. He said, "The name of this sword sounds very powerful!"

The man took a sip of tea and began the rest of his story. The details were too long, but the gist was that all the swordsmiths in his kingdom were annoyed with him and would rather bang their heads against the wall than help him forge swords!

Then, because of the sword-making, love, hatred and vengeance were triggered, and because the story was too long, he had to divide it into three parts, upper, middle and lower, and tell one part each day.

"If you want to know what happened next time, please listen to the breakdown!"

"Snapped!"

When the wake-up stick fell, everyone came back to their senses from the man's story. Those who came to rest or quench their thirst dispersed as time was running out. Those who wanted to hear the story could come back tomorrow, while those who needed to hurry could come back another time.

In this way, the small tea stall that was originally full of customers returned to its original quiet state.

This tea stall is not big, just a stall set up on the side of the road, with a small truck for making tea. Passers-by come here to drink tea, quench their thirst, and rest their feet.

No one knows when the tea stall owner came here, and his accent doesn't sound like a local, but the tea is delicious and the owner can tell stories, so when it's busy, a lot of people gather around.

Small tea stalls like this were usually run by a single owner or a couple, but this one had hired a waiter. He was as tall and straight as the owner, but his face was unkempt, with an untidy beard and a dark complexion.

Looking at the shop owner, he also looked very unkempt, with freckles on his dark face, but his eyes were very bright.

The waiter was in charge of welcoming guests and serving tea, while the shop owner was leisurely making tea and telling stories.

Tea sells best at noon and in the afternoon when the sun is hottest. In the evening, there are not many people on the street. When the shop owner sees that the tea on the tea stall has been sold out, he and his employees pack up the stall and go home.

"Ah, my storytelling today was good, wasn't it? I'll tell it in three parts, one part each day, over three days, and then I'll tell a new story."

The shop owner was happily chatting with his clerk. Yes, this shop owner was our protagonist Chang Ningchen, and the clerk was Dongfang He!

Dongfang He pulled the tea stall's small truck and replied with a smile: "Achen's story is much better than the last time."

Chang Ningchen frowned and said, "I originally wanted to make up a story about the love-hate relationship between the leader of the martial arts world and the leader of the demon sect!"

Dongfang He immediately stopped him and said, "Don't make up stories like that. After all, there really are martial arts leaders and demonic cult leaders in this world. Be careful, or they'll come and accuse you of spreading obscene rumors!"

Uh... Chang Ningchen nodded. It was true that there were martial arts leaders and demon cult leaders in this martial arts world. Although they were far away from them, the legal system of this world was divided into: national law, family law and the ethics of the martial arts world.

Although I'm not worried about losing my life, they always have ways to make you suffer a fate worse than death. For safety reasons, Chang Ningchen thinks it's better not to make up stories!

After returning to the courtyard where they lived and having dinner, the two of them went about their own business.

Originally, Dongfang He planned to return to the Sentry World and dig up Feng Bingyan's tomb, but since they all lived an ordinary life in the previous world and had no hardships, they would be considered failures, so they entered the next world randomly.

After Chang Ningchen and Dongfang He met after a series of twists and turns, they decided to retire from the world, so they went to a remote place to sell tea and lived an ordinary life.

Chang Ningchen started to boil tea to be sold tomorrow, while Dongfang He went to move the wooden barrel to prepare for a bath.

Dongfang He went into the kitchen to get some hot water, then said to Chang Ningchen, "Achen, go take a bath later."

Blowing up the charcoal fire for boiling tea, Chang Ningchen said, "It's troublesome to boil water and pour it into a bucket to wash. It's better to build a stove and boil water on it to wash."

Dongfang He thought Chang Ningchen's idea was good! This way they wouldn't have to worry about the water getting cold when taking a bath, and then happily went out to build a stove.

Just when Dongfang He had built the stove and went back to get the charcoal, he suddenly saw a figure flash across the yard!

Dongfang He paused, but thought that this person was probably just passing by, so he continued to work on his own things.

Chang Ningchen finished making tea and came out to see the steaming bucket in the yard. He thought that taking a bath to relax after a busy day would be a very enjoyable thing, so he naturally took off his clothes and went in to take a bath.

Usually, the two of them were afraid that the water would get cold, so one of them would be responsible for heating the water outside, but this time there was a fire, so after Dongfang He and Chang Ningchen went in to take a bath, he hurried over, took off his clothes and took a bath too.

Chang Ningchen looked at Dongfang He, and for some reason a certain image suddenly appeared in his head. He turned around awkwardly.

Dongfang He saw his reaction, smiled and hugged him and asked, "Haven't we been honest with each other several times? Why is Ah Chen still shy?"

Chang Ningchen smiled and said, "This scene reminds me of a certain picture, and I feel like laughing."

Dongfang He was filled with questions. Wasn't the scene of two people taking a bath together very cute? Why did Chang Ningchen feel like laughing?

Chang Ningchen pulled away Dongfang He's arms and faced him. He then said, "This reminds me of the scene where Aunt Ximen was hugged by a young handsome guy, and the young handsome guy kept calling her a girl. You and I are a little apart, but when you hug me, I want to laugh! Hahahaha!"

Chang Ningchen actually laughed in such a romantic scene. If he didn't hold her, how could they be intimate? Dongfang He looked at Chang Ningchen, feeling frustrated and panicked.

If I can't hug you, then that's fine! Dongfang He reached out and grabbed the edge of the wooden barrel, then framed Chang Ningchen in his arms and gave him a face-to-face wall-dong!

Chang Ningchen in this world has starry eyes and white teeth, and looks very handsome and comfortable, while Dongfang He has a more feminine appearance, and there is a hint of evil in his smile.

In order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, both of them would paint their faces darker, put on beards and pockmarks, wear hats and scarves, and dress in a rustic way when going out.

At this moment, the two people's faces were wet by the hot water, and the disguises on their faces were removed. Coupled with the water vapor and the water entering their brains, they both thought that the other person was extremely beautiful!

Dongfang He was planning to use this naturally beautiful face to confuse the person in his arms, and then start their new nightlife spot!

Unfortunately, Chang Ningchen quickly came to his senses from the man's beauty. He pushed Dongfang He's chest and said, "It's not appropriate to do this in broad daylight in the yard!"

Dongfang He knew that this was just like giving a red envelope, and it had to be done half-heartedly, but today was obviously not a good day, as uninvited guests suddenly came to their yard!
