My wife is a reborn big boss

At noon, two people arrived in Taiqing City.

One was a handsome young man in a blue robe; the other was a lazy Taoist nun in a light blue robe.

"Fairy Maiden, haven't we met before?" Wu Qiong asked curiously, "Did I accidentally offend you in the past?"

Otherwise, why would I stay so far away from him?

"Never seen it before," Zhang Yu replied weakly, his eyes fixed straight ahead.

"Why does the fairy maiden avoid me like the plague?" Wu Qiong pressed.

Was it because he was too handsome? Was Zhang Xiangu afraid that she would fall in love with him, so she simply distanced herself from him from the beginning?

He felt he had discovered the truth.

"Sigh, alright then, I'll get straight to the point." Zhang Yu slumped his shoulders helplessly and said listlessly, "I suffered a backlash from Heaven after I performed a divination for you. Afterwards, I was a little curious, so I performed a divination for myself as well."

She turned her head slightly, her sleepy eyes glancing at Wu Qiong: "The divination tells me that if I get too close to you, my future will be very exciting."

"Isn't this good?" Wu Qiong raised an eyebrow.

"However, I only wish to live a peaceful life." Zhang Yu's voice was calm and even. "Ordinary is the true way, and I have no desire for an exciting life. So, benefactor, please just ignore me. We are not on the same path."

"Can't we even be friends?" Wu Qiong said helplessly, "Does the fairy look down on me?"

"You misunderstand, benefactor. You have a deep affection for those two young ladies. Although I don't like it, I don't dislike it either," Zhang Yu explained.

Anyway, it has nothing to do with her.

"Then can we at least maintain a platonic friendship?" Wu Qiong asked.

"Of course, that's no problem." Zhang Yu nodded.

"Then do we not need to be so far apart?" Wu Qiong asked again.

Zhang Yu said seriously, "Although I am a person outside the secular world, men and women should not be too close. To avoid misunderstandings, it is best to keep your distance."

"Keeping our distance isn't a problem," Wu Qiong sighed, "but this is too far! Even if we're both innate level cultivators, constantly transmitting our voices would be exhausting!"

They were walking on the main road in the center of Taiqing City, one on the far left and the other on the far right, with a distance of nearly ten zhang between them.

"..." Zhang Yu chuckled twice and slowly moved over step by step.

Seeing the several meters separating them, Wu Qiong sighed. "Fine, let it be. At least I don't need to use telepathy anymore."

"Speaking of which, does that blacksmith have some kind of relationship with you, fellow Daoist? Otherwise, why wouldn't Master Ziyang let him know?" Wu Qiong made conversation.

no respond.

"Fairy Maiden?" Wu Qiong called out softly.

Still no response.

He turned his head and saw that the Taoist nun was walking forward mechanically, her head nodding, clearly about to fall asleep.

"..." Wu Qiong was speechless. He had never seen such a lazy person.

"Steamed buns! Freshly baked steamed buns!"

The shouts of street vendors could be heard from the side of the street.

Wu Qiong had a flash of inspiration and a plan came to mind.

Zhang Yu was on the verge of falling into a deep sleep when she suddenly smelled a sweet fragrance. With her eyes closed, she couldn't help but lean forward to smell it, but she found that the sweet scent lingered around her nose, and she couldn't get any closer.

She opened her eyes with a slight frown, only to see Wu Qiong looking at her with a smile, holding a candied hawthorn stick close to her nose.

Her beautiful face flushed slightly, and she couldn't help but glare at Wu Qiong. The charm in that glance made Wu Qiong's heart skip a beat.

[Holy crap! That scared the hell out of me! No way! We can't afford to cause any more trouble! Otherwise, the hatchet won't be far behind!]

It can only be said that Wu Qiong is a sucker for the contrast between his appearance and his personality.

For example, Xiao Bai always had a blank expression, but his sinister smile under the moonlight at Shaolin Temple made his heart tremble.

Her Majesty the Empress always seemed to have everything under control, but seeing her display such a childlike innocence in the palace left him at a loss.

And then there was Shi'er. The empty look in Xien Manor's eyes and her angry roar of "You're lying!" made his heart pound... he was terrified.

"Ahem, do you want some?" Wu Qiong coughed awkwardly.

Of course I want to eat it! But...

"I've already said that if I get involved with you, benefactor, I'll be unlucky for the rest of my life," Zhang Yu said, turning his head away and pursing his lips.

But the way you stole glances at the candied hawthorns betrayed you.

Wu Qiong smiled and said, "It's okay, I didn't pay, so consider it your own purchase."

He was penniless.

He has already spent 4,700 taels of silver, and even if he has a thick skin, he would be too embarrassed to ask for money again in the short term.

As for the money won from the betting pool run by Master Ziyang, the old Taoist priest is still withholding it and hasn't given it to him yet.

He shoved the candied hawthorn into Zhang Yu's hand: "Three coins, don't forget to give it to the boss."

Zhang Yu took the candied hawthorn that the man had forced on him, sighed helplessly, and went to pay with his shoulders slumped.

Although she looked listless, Wu Qiong could tell from her light steps that she was in a good mood.

Wu Qiong smiled smugly. He had never failed to use the trick of getting close to someone with candied hawthorns since he was sixteen.

The first victim was the former eldest princess, now Her Majesty the Empress.

"Ah Qiong..." Speak of the devil and he appears; a faint voice emanates from the magical conch shell.

"Why are you so skilled at this...? How many girls have you given candied hawthorns to...?"

"It's just you, this is the second time." Wu Qiong said calmly, "Xuanji, you have to believe me."

"..." The magical conch shell was silent for a moment, then spoke in a calm voice: "Ah Qiong, when you come back, I have a surprise for you."

Her Majesty the Queen has made up her mind; once he returns, she will make it a fait accompli!

Of course, given her usual behavior, she'll definitely back down immediately.

"What surprise?" Wu Qiong asked curiously.

However, the magical conch has fallen silent once again.

"What are you muttering to yourself?" Zhang Yu asked as he returned after paying the bill, licking his candied hawthorn.

Her attitude has improved considerably.

Wu Qiong smiled knowingly. So this Taoist nun was a foodie after all; no wonder her condensed Dharma form was a rolling ball.

But then again, looking at her lazy and carefree demeanor, and knowing she's a foodie, she really does resemble a glutton.

"It's nothing," Wu Qiong said with a smile. "Let's get down to business."

"Okay, the sooner we resolve this, the sooner we can finish." Zhang Yu nodded.

If the problem can be resolved sooner, she can leave Wu Qiong and continue her miserable life.

However......

"Oh my! This sesame candy is quite good, fairy, you should try it. By the way, it'll cost five coins in total."

"I'll pay! I'll pay!"

"Oh my! This braised beef is really good! Fairy, you should try it. By the way, it'll cost two taels of silver in total."

"I'll do it! I'll do it!"

"Oh my! These chestnuts are so sweet! Fairy, please try some. By the way, it'll cost eight coins in total."

"Let me do it! Mmm...it's delicious!"

"Oh my! This jujube cake smells delicious, fairy, please try some. By the way, it'll cost two coins in total."

"Hiccup... I can't eat anymore... Waaah... Don't stuff me! I really can't eat anymore!"

By the roadside, Zhang Yu slumped to the ground, gently stroking her lower abdomen with her delicate hand, and complained, "Benefactor, you've gone too far! I already told you I couldn't eat anymore!"

"Now that we're full, we can get to work. Fairy, shouldn't we get down to business?" Wu Qiong stretched out his hand.

Zhang Yu grabbed his hand, exerted a little force, and stood up: "It's time to get down to business."

She squinted at the blacksmith's shop not far away: "Master didn't tell Senior Brother Ye any clues about this place, but said we could tell at a glance... Could that blacksmith have some kind of relationship with Senior Brother Ye?"

"Why think so much? Just go in and see for yourself." Wu Qiong shrugged and walked towards the blacksmith shop.

Zhang Yu followed closely behind.
