Starry Sky Railway: The Slacking Sword Saint is Keeped by Fu Xuan

Why let her have absolute power? If we stubbornly insist on waiting another day, he'll probably get his comeuppance.

Looking at that fair and delicate face, Yu Chen sighed inwardly at the decline of morality.

This really shows that the diviner Fu Xuan is taking advantage of his old age and weakness...

If she weren't now truly one of Tabu's people, and not his direct superior, he would definitely give her a good spanking to teach her a lesson for that attitude!

"What are you looking at? If you're not satisfied, you can say so, but I will ignore you."

Fu Xuan snorted at his indignant gaze.

Yu Chen's lips twitched. "No, no... How could I possibly have any objections to Lord Fu Xuan!"

He wanted to flatter her, though he'd rather just pat her on the butt, but he didn't dare—obviously that would make him a pervert, get labeled a pervert, arrested, and never be able to hold his head up again.

...

After eating and drinking their fill and resting enough, the two got up to head back.

Although Yu Chen wanted to sit a little longer and digest some of what was in his stomach.

The person who hosted the meal has already gotten up. What if he leaves without paying? Wouldn't he then have to pay the bill?

To avoid this situation, Yu Chen had no choice but to stand up with Fu Xuan without any resistance.

He touched his belly and followed the little Master Fu out, then stepped straight through the door and left the small building under the smiling gaze of the graceful girl.

Yu Chen's eyes widened. He looked at Fu Xuan and then at the ancient building behind him.

He asked incredulously, "Are divination priests now allowed to dine and dash so brazenly?"

"They didn't even pay us, yet they still smiled and saw us out?"

Fu Xuan frowned and glanced at him. "Who told you that you ate a free meal?"

If you further tarnish my reputation, I will not take back the extra salary that Jing Yuan previously gave you!

Yu Chen's eyes widened instantly. "You've already sent it to me! Unless you kill me, I absolutely won't pay... And you definitely didn't pay me! I've been following you the whole time, but I haven't seen you give me any money, Fu Xuan!"

Fu Xuan glanced at him strangely and said, "This is my own property, why should I pay? Is it going to go from one pocket to another?"

She frowned again after saying that. "This is the umpteenth time today that you've addressed me by my first name! I only made you my secretary, I didn't give you the right to call me by my first name like that!"

Yu Chen ignored the second half of her sentence and stared at her blankly.

He stared blankly at the small building behind him, which had become blurred, and then pointed at Fu Xuan.

"That...is it yours?"

"It belongs to my family, but it wouldn't be wrong to say it belongs to me. It was originally built to receive distinguished guests and for my own meals. I'm still in charge of it now, so it's not wrong to say it belongs to me."

That means it's a lie that there was no alcohol inside, but it's true that the waiter wasn't lying, because…

No wonder her oath was so strange—"I'll only listen to the shopkeeper"—was she playing word games to trick him?

So the shopkeeper was sitting right across from him!

Chapter 13 Fu Taibu's Domestic Violence?

Yu Chen was so angry he was itching to bite back.

Good grief, I asked you to take me out for a nice meal, and you ended up taking me to your own shop, huh!

Furthermore, they wouldn't allow me to drink alcohol, and even conspired with their employees to deceive me!

Fu Xuan, Fu Xuan, I never expected that you, who look so fair and delicate, could be so dark inside!

How could you do this?

"What's wrong with me?"

Fu Xuan glanced at him indifferently.

Yu Chen glared at her, his expression clearly displeased. "There's wine, but you won't let me drink it!"

"so what?"

"Am I short of food for you, or do you think it's not good enough for your status?"

"You...I..." Yu Chen stammered, the food was indeed excellent, even exceeding his expectations, but he didn't know that...

Now that I know he was the one who got involved, I'm still annoyed that I didn't get to drink with him!

"Anyway, you and your employee teamed up to lie to me!"

"Liar?" Fu Xuan stopped in her tracks, turned around and looked directly at him, her small hands on her hips.

"So, it's my fault that I tried to get you to drink less?"

Yu Chen paused, pressed himself tightly against her, and then stopped, crossing his arms and looking down at her.

"Did I ask you to meddle in other people's business? This is your only hobby, and you want to get rid of it? Do you think you're so great?"

Fu Xuan frowned, raised his small face to look at him. This guy was just like Jing Yuan, ridiculously tall.

Even when speaking from such close proximity, she has to hold her head very high.

"Squat down, or stand further away before you speak to me."

"What's wrong, Grand Diviner Fu? You've been standing on this platform for so long, are you no longer used to looking up and talking to people?"

Yu Chen bent down and stared at those pair of purple, crystal-clear eyes, speaking in a sarcastic tone.

Fu Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly, a dangerous aura gathering around her, a sarcastic remark implying that she couldn't lower herself despite her high position.

I wanted to help you quit drinking for your own good, and you're actually mocking her?

It's like they've fed their conscience to the dogs.

"Smile! Is all you can do is put on that grumpy face? You're so handsome."

He seemed oblivious to the oppressive atmosphere surrounding Fu Xuan, his tone remaining as carefree as ever.

"you…"

Just as Fu Xuan was about to lash out, a shout suddenly came from beside him.

"Is that the Grand Diviner over there? Would you like to try my grilled fish?"

This is a rare, otherworldly recipe I bought from a wandering merchant. It's called Mondstadt Grilled Fish, and it's incredibly delicious!

The atmosphere suddenly became silent and awkward.

Yu Chen silently took a step back, his eyes darting around as he touched his nose.

I almost forgot I was still on the street.

He was quite proud to argue with the patriarch in the street.

Fu Xuan also calmed down, looked at him with a cold snort, and then turned to look at the shopkeeper, trying his best to be friendly.

"No need, I just finished eating."

But then, out of nowhere, another voice rang out.

"If you buy me one to try, I'll forgive you and your employees for lying to me about not having any alcohol!"

Fu Xuan gave him a cold look. He was so angry at her for mocking her, and now he still wanted food?

Why is your face so big?

"Are you a beggar? If you want to eat, can't you buy some yourself?"

"I didn't bring any money with me!"

Yu Chen pulled out his empty pocket, blinked at her, and looked like he really didn't have any money.

Fu Xuan's lips twitched slightly; this idiot really hadn't taken a single penny.

She sighed softly, "Consider it all a waste of my good intentions. If I ever try to persuade you not to drink again, I'll admit defeat!"

She was truly exasperated. Jing Yuan was indeed up to no good, sending this oddball to the Taibu Si to torment her.

It's really exhausting.

Fu Xuan walked to the shop and looked at its signboard.

"Could you please get me two copies?"

Yu Chen stood behind her, smiling broadly, and his mood instantly improved.

Alright!

The shopkeeper seemed very enthusiastic and immediately started preparing it.

Hehe, even the Grand Diviner approves of this grilled fish. If this signboard were put up, it would surely attract a large number of customers.

"Boss, is it really delicious?"

Yu Chen watched him sprinkle the seasonings like he was performing acrobatics and couldn't help but swallow.

"Hehe, bro, this recipe cost me a fortune to buy from someone... In their world, this grilled fish is a bestseller in seven countries!"

The boss glanced at him and started boasting.

"Wow, that's amazing... I'll have to savor it properly."
