Nothing More Tragic in Life (Part 1)

　　I accidentally fell asleep and slept as if I was dead.

　　I have a rather bad habit; once I fall asleep, it's hard for me to wake up. In a way, it's not a weak point, as my senses for killing intent and so forth increases in magnitude while asleep, thereby allowing me to evade twice as fast as usual.

　　My worst habit is that once I'm asleep, I won't pull any punches when I strike. I was even worse when I was young. When I fell asleep one time, I brought the entire tavern down and spent a night sleeping in the rubble. That's why I usually mind where I sleep, always choosing to sleep in safe places. Else, others will be at risk.

　　Because of my poor sleeping habits, Tang Ye copped a beating, which led to him discovering that there was something peculiar about my martial arts.

　　I heard someone shouting and carrying on in my slumber.

　　"Hey! Hey! Wake up! What are you doing?! How can you sleep after such a ruckus?! Hey, this is dangerous!"

　　"Are you actually asleep or not?! How are you still so formidable? Wait! I'm not your enemy! Hey!"

　　"Stop touching me! What are you doing?! Pervert! Y-Y-You!"

　　The rambling next to my ear annoyed me, so I raised a hand and effortlessly covered the source of the sound, thereby giving me my desired silence. And so, I fell deep asleep again.

　　Having not slept for days, my brain gradually melted as if all of the acc.u.mulated fatigue was released.

　　After sleeping for an unknown length of time, I gradually woke from my deep slumber.

　　When I opened my eyes, I saw a sky-blue ceiling of a bed. The style was elegant, but also had an ancient vibe to it.

　　'Mm… this doesn't seem to be my bedroom.'

　　"What's going on? Where is this place…?'"

　　It took me a moment to recall that I was at Heavenly Fragrance Garden. I went to rub my head, only to discover someone sitting next to me.

　　I recalled what happened before I fell asleep.

　　'I think I put Miss Sisi next to me, and then fell asleep. d.a.m.n, don't tell me… wait. I sealed Miss Sisi's meridians. She shouldn't be able to sit up.'

　　'…'

　　'Don't tell me it was s.h.i.+yi!'

　　'Let me explain! I didn't deliberately sleep with the girl. I sealed her meridians, ptoo, I didn't seal her meridians to commit a crime! In any case, just let me explain!'

　　I mustered up my strength to open my eyes and look over. What I saw was extremely smooth and soft clothing. Therefore, I concluded that it should've been made from the best silk. The individual didn't look tall and actually thin and small. As my line of sight ascended, I finally met with their eyes.

　　The eyes I met with her the eyes of someone with seventy to eighty years of acc.u.mulated intellect, the hallmark of a veteran. When he relaxed his eyelids, I saw wrinkles and an elderly smile!

　　"Eeek!!!"

　　'Why is it not Miss Sisi or s.h.i.+yi, but an old man?!!'

　　The elder, Prime Minister Li Si, stroked his beard upon seeing me back off, "Master Ming, why are you overreacting upon seeing this old one?"
