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

Sadly, her husband...died in that battle more than a decade ago.

"That's it..."

Yu Chen nodded and followed her inside.

The wooden door was pushed open with a jingling sound, and a bell rang in my ears.

He looked up and saw a thin curtain hanging in front of the door frame, with bells hanging all over the curtain, which jingled as soon as the door moved.

"Who's here so early... I just opened the door and arrived right on time!"

A soft, seductive voice drifted from deep within the shop. The woman seemed to have just gotten up; she stretched and hummed as she walked out.

Upon seeing Fu Xuan, her expression froze for a moment, then she glanced at Yu Chen, her scarlet lips curving slightly upwards.

"Hey~ Isn't this Fu Xuan... Oh, it's the Grand Diviner~"

What wind blew you here?

Qin Lan casually poured herself a glass of ice-cold tea and took a sip, her every movement and smile exuding a captivating charm.

He looks to be in his thirties, but people from Xianzhou... those who know, know.

She has maintained her figure extremely well, the kind that Xiao Fuxuan envies and is jealous of.

Fu Xuan rolled his eyes slightly as he listened to the woman's words, then pulled Yu Chen aside and walked straight to a seat.

"Two bowls...three bowls of beef noodles, with extra meat, and hurry up."

"Hmph~ You haven't been to our shop for years, and now you act like you're the boss!"

Qin Lan gave a soft hum, ignoring Fu Xuan's urging, and instead walked over to the two of them with interest, resting her chin on her hand and smilingly glancing at Yu Chen.

"I've long heard that the Grand Diviner has acquired an incredibly valiant husband... and today I've finally seen him, judging from his appearance..."

He's quite handsome though~

She chuckled and turned to glance at Fu Xuan. "Good taste~"

"Hmph, why are you being so nosy?"

Fu Xuan crossed her arms, showing no airs whatsoever, and spoke in a tone reminiscent of a young girl.

Yu Chen's gaze darted back and forth between the two of them, and he felt...

They seem to have a good relationship.

...

Qin Lan twisted her waist to make noodles, and Yu Chen couldn't help but stare at Xiao Fu Xuan with curiosity.

He didn't say anything, just stared intently at her.

Fu Xuan felt somewhat helpless under his gaze and had no choice but to explain.

"I met her when I first came to Luofu. At that time, she hadn't opened her noodle shop yet and was doing small business outside."

Her husband was a member of the Yunqi Army, and the two lived a fairly sweet life. They gradually saved up some money. She was skillful and had good cooking skills. By chance, she got a good recipe and opened a noodle shop.

Unfortunately, her husband passed away not long after the shop was set up...

Later, I often came to her place for noodles, but after becoming a diviner, I was much busier and came less often.

"That's it..."

Yu Chen nodded, feeling a slight pang of regret for the woman.

The atmosphere was somewhat subdued.

He glanced at Fu Xuan and silently tightened his grip on her hand.

Throughout the long lives of the people of Xianzhou, there are many such painful separations...

People are both used to it and somewhat numb to it.

However, he and Fu Xuan will definitely not be separated!

Besides, apart from the Star God, there are only a handful of people in this world who can truly defeat them.

Just as I was pondering this, a fragrant aroma wafted over, but since we were just starting to prepare for opening, the soup, the most important part of the noodles, wasn't ready yet...

Fu Xuan slowly leaned closer, gently resting her head on his shoulder, and slowly closed her eyes.

Yu Chen wanted to hold her and make her more comfortable, but Fu Xuan refused, saying she just wanted to lean against him like this…

Noises came from the kitchen, but the proprietress was nowhere to be seen.

Fu Xuan leaned on him and slowly drifted into a light sleep.

Yu Chen resisted the urge to hug her, squeezed her small hand tightly, and sat up straight without moving.

after a while

Suddenly a sound came from outside the door: the wind chimes jingled, and the voices of the people who had entered became clear.

The sound was quite clear and crisp, with a hint of languor in it.

"Bai Lu, just you wait and see, this restaurant is guaranteed to be delicious!"

"I hope it can be quick, I'm a little hungry..."

Qingque walked in with a smile, leading Bailu into the shop. The shop was empty, with only occasional noises coming from the kitchen.

She smiled faintly, her eyes sweeping around... around...

Did I see it wrong?

She stiffly twisted her neck and looked to the side.

Yu Chen stared at her quietly, his eyes seemingly containing a hint of dissatisfaction. Fu Xuan leaned against him, squinting her sleepy eyes as she looked over.

"What a coincidence..."

Qingque stood there, somewhat dazed. Had she been bumping into them too often lately?

Luofu is quite big, how come I just saw him this morning and now I'm running into him again at dinner?

The places where we were supposed to meet were quite far apart...

"It's you!"

Bai Lu perked up and took small steps toward it.

"What a coincidence~"

"Hmm...it is quite a coincidence."

Fu Xuan nodded, his gaze briefly sweeping over Qing Que.

They didn't stand on ceremony and sat down on the opposite side.

The three girls' legs were dangling under the table, leaving Yu Chen all alone, propped up on the ground.

Did Lord Fu Xuan and Yu Chen come here on purpose, or did they just stumble upon this place?

If it's your first time here, I guarantee you won't be disappointed with the food!

Qingque composed herself and began to praise the shop with a smile.

Judging from her appearance, she seemed to really like the taste of this place.

"I've known the owner for a long time, and the food has always been very good."

"If even the diviner says so, then I'll have to look forward to it!"

Bai Lu nodded earnestly, her expression slightly serious.

Yu Chen, propping his chin on his hand, glanced at her and asked, "Where's Jing Yuan? Was he snatched away by Jing Liu?"

Bai Lu's face darkened, and she glared at him fiercely.

"The general won't be taken away! He played with me all morning, but suddenly had to go back to work. Then he gave me lots and lots of money and asked Jingliu to take me out to get something to eat, but..."

She threw the money at me and disappeared somewhere, then she ran into Qingque.

After saying that, she added, "The general also promised to spend the whole day with me tomorrow!"

"Oh... then have fun tomorrow," Yu Chen replied casually.

"... "

Bai Lu's eyes widened suddenly, a lump in her throat, her small mouth pursed tightly, unsure whether to speak or not.

Why did this person suddenly stop being so obnoxious?

So up... She was all set to give them a piece of her mind...

Fu Xuan and Qing Que exchanged a glance and both saw the smile in each other's eyes.

The little diviner reached out and gently patted Yu Chen's hand, giving him a reproachful glance.

This guy just keeps teasing people...

Xiao Bai's face turned red from holding it in.

...

"Here comes the noodles."
