Fairy, please have some self-respect. I am not the reincarnation of your deceased husband.

Chapter 138 Madam?

When Chen Lianshu returned to the side hall, the little fox was already asleep.

Su Jiu'er lay on the bed, curled up into a ball.

Nine tails wrapped her up tightly, and her little head rested on one of them.

Her breathing was even, and she would occasionally hum softly, as if she were having a sweet dream.

Clearly, the other person had fallen asleep while waiting for him.

The little one had lit the lamp in the room, and the dim candlelight made her tiny body look especially adorable.

It seems that what Master meant by "coaxing him properly" will have to wait until tomorrow.

Chen Lianshu did not disturb her, but simply shook her head and sat down on the edge of the couch.

He sat by the window, not to rest immediately, but to calm himself down.

Now that the master-disciple relationship has been revealed, only Mu Qianxue's side remains.

Thinking about this, he rubbed his temples, feeling utterly overwhelmed.

He wasn't sure whether there would be more analog lines in the future.

This debt of love is truly piling up.

If there are more in the future—

My thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a muffled sob coming from the bed.

"Waaah—"

Chen Lianshu looked in the direction of the sound and saw the little fox roll over, its tail loosened, and its paws flailing wildly in the air, as if trying to grab something.

He was very familiar with this action.

He couldn't help but chuckle; this little thing was even getting jealous and trying to steal someone's attention in its dreams.

He stood up and walked to the bedside, intending to cover Su Jiu'er with the blanket.

But the little fox unconsciously grabbed his hand and refused to let go.

This time, he didn't leave again.

My gaze fell on the incense burner beside me, and looking at the incense ash inside, I couldn't quite describe how I felt at that moment.

The next morning.

Pei Wanyun woke up earlier than usual.

The morning light fell on the bed, making it hard for her to open her eyes.

Looking at the gauze curtains overhead, I couldn't help but recall the lingering warmth of yesterday.

She instinctively reached out to the pillow, but it was still empty.

But times have changed.

Now, her heart is no longer empty, but rather filled to the brim.

She lay there for a while longer before finally getting up.

When doing her makeup in front of the mirror, she looks at herself in the mirror.

She is no different today than she was yesterday, yet everything seems different.

Gone was the unease, the anxiety, and the worry; only anticipation for the future shone in her eyes.

Especially when she thought about no longer being her master, but being her Daoist partner and husband, Pei Wanyun could no longer suppress the smile on her lips.

She picked up the jade hairpin, carefully put it on, finished dressing, and went out the door.

A gentle morning breeze caresses the face, carrying the refreshing scent of bamboo.

She did not go to the side hall, but went to the nearby market first.

She was in a great mood today, walking lightly as she strolled alone to clear her mind.

However, it wasn't long before she returned, estimating the time her husband usually woke up. She bought a basket of fresh spiritual fruits and pastries and went back to Jade Spirit Peak.

Upon reaching the summit, Pei Wanyun sat in the pavilion in the courtyard, her gaze towards the side hall hesitant.

Even though she had resumed her relationship with her husband, her troubles had not disappeared; in fact, they had increased.

In the past, she only needed to consider how to get closer and how to hide her feelings, but now she has to consider many more things.

Should we go or not?

If I go, will it seem too eager or too deliberate?

But if she didn't go, she would feel extremely uneasy—

In the end, she took the first step.

When the palace door was gently pushed open, Chen Lianshu was sitting on the edge of the couch, holding Su Jiu'er, who was still dozing off, in his arms.

The little fox finally waited for him to return, and ever since she woke up, she has been clinging to him and acting cute.

After transforming into human form, she clung to her husband and wouldn't let go, being incredibly affectionate.

Even after her spiritual energy was almost depleted and she transformed back into her demon form, she still refused to let go of her claws. In the end, she simply lay down in her husband's arms and fell asleep.

The door opened very softly and did not wake Su Jiu'er. The little one just twitched her ears and continued to sleep soundly.

Chen Lianshu looked up and saw Pei Wanyun entering.

Today she changed back into her usual lotus-colored dress, and the lotus hairpin he had given her was still in her hair.

She carefully tied the new hairband she bought yesterday onto her bun, making her look even more gentle and graceful.

She had clearly spent a long time grooming herself; her makeup was exquisite, her complexion was rosy, and she exuded a gentle and dignified air. There was no trace of her crying from yesterday.

She was completely different from the woman who had cried her heart out in his arms last night.

But the moment their eyes met, the other person's feigned composure caused them to unconsciously and humbly look away for a second before returning their gaze.

After all, while it might feel good to defy one's master and disciples in the moment, it's still a bit shameful in retrospect.

"morning."

Pei Wanyun spoke softly, trying her best to remain composed.

"morning."

Chen Lianshu responded, while noticing the bamboo basket in her hand.

"here it is?"

"I bought some spiritual fruits and pastries at the market this morning."

She paused, took out a piece of pastry, and held it to her husband's lips: "Would you like to try some?"

Chen Lianshu didn't stand on ceremony and started eating, saying, "It tastes good."

He nodded in affirmation.

Pei Wanyun looked blissful and took out more spiritual fruits to feed her husband: "Then I'll make some for you myself another day."

"Okay, thank you, madam."

Chen Lianshu made a startling remark.

"!"

Pei Wanyun was completely taken aback by his boldness, especially in front of the little one—

Her face flushed instantly, and she almost dropped the spiritual fruit in her hand.

"You—what did you call me?"

The sound was as faint as a mosquito's buzz.

"lady?"

Chen Lianshu repeated himself, even changing his form of address: "Don't you like it? Then what about my wife?"

"no."

Pei Wanyun stammered, her gaze darting away. She glanced at him, then at the little fox in his arms: "Jiu'er is still here—"

However, contrary to this, Pei Wanyun's tone was full of expectation, and her fingertips quietly approached his hand, her movements carrying a hint of probing.

After she climbed onto her husband's hand, she gently stroked it, full of longing, wanting to hold his hand.

Because Chen Lianshu was holding Su Jiu'er, she could even feel the little fox's soft fur.

This made her feel somewhat excited.

Why do I feel a strange, secret joy at being intimate with my husband in front of this little thing?

"Do you want me to hug you?"

Seemingly realizing that this was inconvenient for her husband, Pei Wanyun offered to carry Su Jiu'er.

Chen Lianshu did not refuse.

It was this commotion that woke up the little guy who was fast asleep.

"?"

Noticing that she was not in her husband's arms, but in Pei Wanyun's arms, she tried to struggle back, but the other's hand was already on her back.

Immediately, Su Jiu'er softened and began to enjoy the other person's comfortable caresses.

"These are what I bought this morning. Would you like some spirit fruit?"

Pei Wanyun took a spiritual fruit from the basket and held it to the little guy's mouth.

Su Jiu'er wanted to refuse, but the fruit smelled so good that she couldn't resist.

So the little guy, who was a bit angry last night, was coaxed by Pei Wanyun with just a few spirit fruits and a stroke.

Even when he was completely satisfied with his meal, he forgot all about the promise he had made to someone in the secret realm.
