Let's rest tonight, and tomorrow we can be ready to extract the information from her mind.

She even consulted a fortune teller to make sure she wouldn't let the woman escape.

"So, who should we choose to pick them up?"

Fu Xuan rested his chin on his hand and began to ponder.

Yu Chen walked in from outside carrying a cup of hot milk. He squinted and yawned, looking a little tired.

Fu Xuan took the milk and asked, "Aren't you going to eat it?"

"How could this be?!" Yu Chen hugged her from behind, gently pressing his head against her face.

"Let you rest for a bit~ You just got back, and you wouldn't even let me carry you... Isn't it better if you don't have to walk?"

Fu Xuan rolled his eyes at him and scoffed, "You know perfectly well what you're asking! You're holding a wanted criminal, and you're making you hug him... what kind of behavior is that?!"

“I don’t care about that, anyway, she can’t grow wings and fly away…” Yu Chen paused, then continued, “Even if she really did grow wings, I’d just chop them off with my sword and make them into roasted chicken wings!”

"... "

The Grand Diviner remained silent to express his inner turmoil.

He stopped talking and simply closed his eyes, holding her quietly.

Fu Xuan slowly finished the milk in the glass, then gently exhaled and turned to look at Yu Chen.

"Shall we go eat?"

"Good~"

He tilted his head back and let out a howl, then suddenly bent down and picked up Fu Xuan.

She didn't allow herself to get close enough today, she needs to make up for it! Otherwise, the Sword Saint will become listless!

Fu Xuan sighed helplessly and gently rested her head against his chest.

I originally planned to come back and give this idiot a hard time, to teach him a lesson about self-control in public, especially in those kinds of situations…

only…

Let's talk about it when we get back after we've eaten...

Fu Xuan hesitated for a moment before reluctantly moving closer.

...

They hadn't gone far when a cheerful, bouncy figure appeared in front of them.

Yu Chen blinked, turned to look at Fu Xuan and asked, "It looks like one of your slacking-off employees. Should we go scare her?"

She narrowed her eyes, pondered for a moment, and then nodded slightly.

"Follow me."

"Okay~"

Mr. Yu Chen, whose mischievous nature had taken hold, immediately perked up and, carrying Fu Xuan, silently floated behind Qing Que without making a sound.

"La la la~ la la la~ Happy little bluebird is going to play cards~"

Miss Qingque, feeling relaxed and refreshed after a long day of work, hummed a little tune with great pleasure.

"La la la~ la la la~ Little Diviner isn't home~"

"You sang quite well."

"Hmph~ Of course, look who it is..."

A smile appeared on Qingque's face as she turned around to see who had such good taste.

But when he was halfway through twisting his body, he suddenly felt that the voice sounded somewhat familiar.

next moment…

Bone-chilling cold…

Her smile froze on her face, as if time had stood still.

Fu Xuan looked down at her, expressionless.

Mr. Yuchen was overjoyed and laughed heartily without any restraint.

That's really interesting!

"Have you eaten?"

Fu Xuan asked calmly.

Qingque rubbed her stiff little face, swallowed the pounding in her throat, and chuckled awkwardly, "Not yet, Lord Taibu..."

Fu Xuan stared at her and then asked, "You went to play cards without eating? That's not good for your health."

The caring words, coupled with the emotionless voice, made the lovely Miss Qingque's hair stand on end and her whole body itch.

I really want to escape...

but…

She glanced at Yu Chen, who was grinning from ear to ear…

There's no way you can outrun this guy.

Suddenly, her heart seemed to stop beating...

Mommy, I think I need to send Little Bluebird now~

A tear glistened in Qingque's eye.

"I'm just showing you some simple concern; there's no need to be so moved as to cry, is there?"

Fu Xuan's expression was somewhat subtle. He was just putting on an act to scare the kid. Could this kid have gone mad?

Qingque quickly shook her head, then nodded, sensing something was wrong, then nodded again, still feeling something was wrong… She was caught in a dilemma. Finally, she sighed, looked timidly at the Grand Diviner being held by the Sword Saint, and blinked her bright eyes pitifully, saying:

"I just suddenly thought of something sad... and it's not that I didn't plan to eat, I was thinking of buying some fried noodles or something to eat while playing."

Fu Xuan nodded. This was very much like Qing Que.

"Since we've met, why don't you join us for dinner?"

"ah…?"

"Eh…?"

Qingque was stunned, not understanding what the Grand Diviner meant.

Yu Chen was stunned; he hadn't expected her to invite this little bluebird.

He had originally planned to take advantage of the meal to spend some quality time with his wife…

"Well... um, shall I not disturb you and Mr. Yuchen any longer?"

Qingque pursed her lips, and her tone towards Yuchen became respectful.

Fu Xuan frowned slightly. The old man…

She wasn't much older than Qingque, was she?

She's at most a hundred years old, yet they call her "old lady"...

However, Fu Xuan didn't take her words too seriously because they were mostly out of respect.

"What's wrong with that? He won't mind, right?"

Fu Xuan glanced at Yu Chen and gave him a look.

The Sword Saint opened his mouth, wanting to loudly proclaim that he minded very much!

So he bravely said, "Yes."

Fu Xuan looked at Qing Que and asked, "You don't want to?"

"I…"

Qingque felt a slight headache coming on. Did she dare to say she didn't want to?

"It's alright if you don't want to, I won't force you."

Fu Xuan comforted her with his understanding words.

"I...I'm willing~"

Miss Qingque twitched the corners of her mouth and gave her beloved Grand Diviner a sweet smile.

...

"Order whatever you like."

Fu Xuan gave a brief greeting and then fell silent. Yu Chen was still yawning, leaning softly against her.

"Did you take some kind of sleep-inducing pill today? You're so sleepy so early..."

"I'm sleepy because I didn't eat enough Fu Xuan food, so I'm lacking energy~"

Yu Chen's gaze gently fell on her face, his eyes smiling meaningfully.

"Pooh!"
