Xu Wan and Zhu You were standing not far away.

Smelling the burnt smell in the air, she nudged the other person's arm, somewhat puzzled.

"Am I really that terrible? The food is so precious, why would you rather let it burn than ask us?"

As she spoke, she moved a few steps to the side.

She thought to herself, "If she's afraid of her, will people ask her questions if she separates from Zhuyou?"

Seeing her so cautious, Zhu You felt both sorry for her and amused. She reached out and grabbed her wrist, pulling her back to her.

He wrapped his arms around her waist from behind and nuzzled his chin against her shoulder a couple of times.

"Wanwan isn't scary, let them be."

It's good that no one asks, so he can spend more time getting close to the little female.

"But that's a waste of food..."

"No, the males aren't picky; they'll eat them all."

"but……"

"Oh dear, how could you be so clumsy? You've ruined it again!"

Their conversation was interrupted. Xu Wan's ears twitched slightly, and she turned her head to look at the female who was throwing a tantrum not far away.

Her beastly husband lowered his head and kept apologizing.

"My lady, I'm sorry, I'll try again..."

Seeing this, Xu Wan turned her head to look at Zhu You.

"I was much harsher on you than she was back then, so why weren't you afraid of me?"

Not only were they not afraid, their hatred was practically off the charts.

As a result, when she first arrived, she didn't dare to sleep too soundly, for fear that one day she would wake up and find herself seeing the Black and White Impermanence.

Zhu You didn't speak, but lowered his head and kissed the tip of her ear before speaking after a while.

"I guess... I didn't have much expectation for living back then?"

With his sensitive spot ripped out, the pain from the wound kept him awake at all.

His strength was thus reduced by more than half, and the feeling of watching himself become a cripple made him live a muddled and aimless life.

"Now..."

"It's fine now." Zhu You hugged her and turned around, lowering his head to kiss her soft lips.

"Wanwan, I'm so grateful to have the life I have now..."

His tall frame completely enveloped Xu Wan, and she raised her arms to hug his neck, trying to respond.

"Candlelight Ghost..."

The two kissed passionately, their passion growing stronger.

"You good-for-nothing, you can't even grill meat properly!"

The shrill sound startled Xu Wan, who was immersed in a gentle embrace, and her rabbit ears popped out.

He realized that he and Zhuyou had actually done such a thing in public.

Embarrassed, she buried her face in his chest, weakly punching his shoulder with her fists, her voice muffled.

"It's all your fault..."

Zhu You chuckled and patted her back. "Yeah, it's my fault. I couldn't help myself when I saw Wanwan."

"Useless trash! Get out of here!"

The female nearby was hurling increasingly vile insults.

Xu Wan frowned, poked her head out from Zhu You's arms, her voice still carrying a slight nasal tone.

"When grilling meat, you can't throw the food into the fire; you have to grill it slowly over the fire."

Both of them were startled when they heard her voice.

"W-When did you get standing there?!"

She shrugged. "It's always been there, didn't you notice?"

The female turned her head away from her, saying, "It's none of your business, mind your own business!"

After saying that, she kicked her beastly husband again, "Didn't you hear me? Aren't you going to grill it again?"

"Yes, I'll bake it again right away..."

The anger on the female's face subsided somewhat as she smelled the aroma of the meat.

"If you burn this again, I won't let you off the hook!"

After they discovered that the baking was successful, some people also gathered around to see how they did it.

Some people were even more direct, calling out to Zhuyou.

"Zhuyou, I also ruined the meat while grilling it. Can you teach us?"

He stopped and looked down at the little female beside him. "Mistress, do you agree?"

Xu Wan smiled and said, "Go ahead."

"Yes, Mistress." He kissed her cheek. "I'll be back soon."

She didn't go far, but leaned against the edge of the platform waiting for him to return.

As my gaze swept across the corner, I met a pair of timid eyes.

When she looked over, the other person immediately looked away, even pressing their ears tightly to the back of their head.

But just a few seconds later, he secretly glanced at her again.

Soft and cute, it fits her stereotype of rabbits.

She simply walked over, squatted down in front of her, and said, "What are you looking at me for?"

"I...I wasn't looking at you!"

She used a pair of rabbit ears to cover her eyes, a self-deceptive act.

"I...I won't tell you that I only looked at you because you're good-looking, please don't hit me..."

Xu Wan was taken aback. Another person who had been beaten by the original owner of this body?

Is this guy a bully?

She sighed, stood up, took two steps back, and maintained a safe distance from the other person.

"I won't hit you, don't be afraid."

The rabbit ears were quietly lifted up, the sound so soft it was almost inaudible.

"Could you... teach me how to grill meat...?"

"What?" She didn't hear clearly and bent down to get closer.

As she approached, the female instinctively stepped back, stumbled, and fell to the ground.

"what!"

Someone shouted, "That bad female hit someone!"

In an instant, Xu Wan felt that she had once again become the center of attention.

She looked down at her hand, which she hadn't even reached out, and blinked.

Huh? Someone got hit? Me?

"Wanwan."

Zhu You pushed through the crowd and shielded her behind him. "Are you alright?"

She shook her head, looked at the female still sitting on the ground, hesitated for a moment, and then reached out her hand.

"Can you get up?"

The other person was clearly a bit slow on the uptake, staring at her hand for a long time before slowly taking her hand and using it to stand up.

Someone in the crowd asked, "Rabbit Spirit, did a bad female push you down?"

"Yeah, she bullied you before. Tell me, did she bully you again?"

Zhu You scanned the crowd, silently memorizing the appearances of several males who were speaking.

Xu Wan didn't want to escalate this small matter and worry Yun Shu.

Just as he was thinking of stepping forward to explain, the rabbit spirit suddenly took a step forward.

She clutched her animal skin skirt, her rabbit ears trembling with nervousness.

But he still took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and shouted, "Xu Wan didn't hit me, I lost my balance!"

Xu Wan rubbed her ears, surprised that this girl, who looked so thin and weak, had such a large lung capacity.

She shook her head. Indeed, appearances can be deceiving.

The crowd dispersed again, and Zhu You turned around. "Wanwan, wait for me here. I'll be back soon."

Xu Wan blinked and swung her fist a few times in the air.

"Beat them hard, don't hold back."

Zhu You was taken aback, not expecting that she would know what she wanted to do.

"How did Wanwan know...?"

She blinked, her smile carrying a hint of slyness.

"Because you're my beastly husband, isn't it only right that you stand up for me?"

Amused by her words, Zhu You nodded, "Yes, I'll stand up for Wanwan."

After his figure disappeared from her sight, Xu Wan leaned against the stone wall and murmured to herself.

"It feels better to vent your anger yourself. I should have asked Zhuyou to take me with me."

Just as I was thinking about going to see a good show, my animal skin skirt was gently tugged twice.

She met the rabbit spirit's still somewhat timid gaze. "What's wrong?"

"Can you teach me how to grill meat?"
