Fu Xuan looked at his expression, and it seemed he really wanted to do it; his expression gradually stiffened…

Wait, no way?

Is she really going to rise to power by relying on her husband like this?

No, he's not a husband yet!

The diviner's little brain suddenly overloaded and crashed.

But Yu Chen's expression stiffened slightly as if he had thought of something, and his face quickly became tense.

"But won't you become busier as a general and then have less time to spend with me?"

"...Stop! How could I become a general through such a trick!"

Fu Xuan frowned and looked at him seriously as he spoke.

"I will reach that position entirely through my own abilities and strength!"

“Hmm…

"Can't I be your skill, your strength?"

Yu Chen pointed to himself, looking at her with those deep yet incredibly clear eyes and asked.

"... "

Fu Xuan's face was tense, and she frowned in obvious discomfort.

Looking at Yu Chen, who was staring at her with such sincerity and earnestness, she couldn't bring herself to deny it.

I always felt that would make him unhappy or uncomfortable, and...

Thinking about it that way, it doesn't seem like there's any problem...

"What I mean is that I want to rely solely on my own efforts... without relying on outsiders, to reach that point honestly and legitimately!"

"So... in your heart I'm just an outsider, someone who's not upright and doesn't have a legitimate place at all?"

Yu Chen's expression darkened, and he looked heartbroken.

"...?"

Chapter 73 Hold Me Tight

Fu Xuan felt a slight pain in his brain from what he said, and a vein suddenly bulged on his fair forehead.

She stared intently at Yu Chen and asked, word by word, "Do you have to argue with me like this and make me angry?"

"... "

Yu Chen stared at her silently, his tense face suddenly breaking into a chuckle.

"Oh, it was just a joke. I hope the Grand Diviner isn't really angry."

Fu Xuan's forehead veins throbbed again, and she lowered her head slightly, her face growing increasingly gloomy.

“Yu Chen…”

"Your subject is here! My prospective general, shall we go shopping together?"

Yu Chen suddenly pulled her forcefully into his arms, interrupting the diviner who was about to cast a spell.

"you…"

Do you want me to carry you?

Yu Chen leaned close to her face and asked softly with a smile.

"... "

Fu Xuan closed his eyes and sighed helplessly.

The anger rising in my heart couldn't be released when faced with that face.

She pursed her thin, delicate lips and reached out to pinch a bit of flesh on that thick face.

"No way! You're just bullying me!"

"...I'd never bully you, no matter who else I bully~"

Yu Chen squinted and mumbled, "She didn't use any force at all. Her soft hands gently pulled his face, which was nothing compared to the force she used when she pulled his ears."

"...Anyway, I'm not happy!"

Fu Xuan gave a light snort, then released her grip and crossed her arms.

Yu Chen, however, still bent slightly and leaned close to her face, asking softly, "Then what can make Lord Fu Xuan happy?"

"...I want to eat ice cream."

"no!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Yu Chen immediately rejected the request, his tone firm and leaving her no room for rebuttal.

Fu Xuan's expression froze slightly, and she pouted, glaring at him as she asked, "So you're just deliberately trying to annoy me, right?"

The Sword Saint gazed at her wistfully and gently rubbed the little diviner's head.

"My Lord, do you know that you can't eat anything cold right now?"

"...Who told you that!"

Fu Xuan instinctively retorted, but then, looking into his eyes, his attitude quickly softened.

"It's just the beginning...it's okay..."

"Have you forgotten that you had a stomachache just today?"

Yu Chen stared intently at her; he would never allow anything that might harm her health or make her uncomfortable.

"...But I suddenly feel like eating."

Fu Xuan pursed her pink lips, looking at Yu Chen with a slightly aggrieved expression.

His expression was somewhat serious, and his eyes revealed a hint of undeniable authority and a touch of displeasure.

"Not today... Once you've recovered, you can eat as much as you want, whenever you want, and I'll go with you and buy it for you, okay?"

In front of her, he couldn't pretend to be a completely bad person. Yu Chen only held on for a moment before collapsing again under her pitiful little expression.

She was clearly a diviner, yet she made this little girl-like expression towards him, which was...

How could I bear to make her sad!

His sharp tone softened as soon as he touched the young diviner.

"... "

Fu Xuan lowered his head and remained silent.

She wasn't like this before, and she's aware of the effects eating ice cream will have on her now.

But when facing the person standing in front of me, I can't help but want to act cute and mischievous towards him...

I couldn't help but want to pour out all my emotions to him, whether sweet, bitter, sour, or salty...

They all wanted to be with him.

"Consider it a debt I owe you. Then, for a year, ten years, a hundred years, until the moment I die, as long as you want it and my body allows, I'll buy it for you to eat, okay?"

Fu Xuan suddenly covered his mouth, looking at his cheeks that had softened.

Suddenly, he stretched out his hands...

"As punishment, you must hold onto me and not let go for the entire day!"

"Okay~

"Your subject is willing to accept punishment, my Lord Diviner."

Yu Chen chuckled and pulled her into his arms again; she was still so soft and warm.

Just smelling her scent is enough to calm one's mind...

...

"Ahh~"

One of the Cloud Riders rubbed his nose and looked up in confusion, wondering if someone was talking badly about him behind his back.

But what they saw next startled them. Two familiar figures appeared in the crowd. The woman was being held in the man's arms, her head gently resting against his, looking incredibly intimate, like two people deeply in love.

However, he felt no envy at all; instead, a chill ran through him.

He turned around with the fastest speed he had ever seen.

I can't look, I really can't look!

If the Grand Diviner finds out, and then suddenly remembers he forgot to cause trouble for him and decides to make up for it now, wouldn't that be terrible?

His colleagues, who were also maintaining order, were a little confused, wondering what had suddenly gotten into this guy.

then…

Just because I glanced at you in the crowd…
