Oh no! My online romance partner is actually a Miao holy maiden!

As soon as the words "fiancée" were uttered, Zhang Wei and the other two turned to look at Xu Yi, their eyes filled with complex respect.

That look seemed to say: Bro, you're really something, you've got a death wish.

After the commotion, the atmosphere in the hot pot restaurant was somewhat strange.

However, after being reassured by Xu Yi, Zhang Wei and the other two sat down timidly.

The three grown men were behaving like kindergarten children, with their hands on their knees and their eyes fixed straight ahead.

"Hey... Old Xu, your wife's outfit is quite unique."

Zhang Wei shifted his position, trying to get as far away from Bai Ling'er as possible, and forcibly changed the subject.

"This was specially chosen for me by my mother, who said that I shouldn't be impolite when meeting my husband."

Bai Ling'er answered indistinctly while eating the tripe that Xu Yi had put on her plate.

Her cheeks were bulging from eating, and she looked harmless, but when you thought of the little blue scar on her wrist, no one would dare to treat her as an ordinary little girl.

"Hehe, that's good, that's good..." Zhang Wei wiped his sweat.

Chen Yang poked at the duck blood in the pot and lowered his voice to Xu Yi, "Old Xu, I heard from Wei Ge this afternoon that you might not live past this week, is it because..."

Xu Yi nodded with a wry smile.

He took out his phone and sent a message to the four-person WeChat group in the dormitory.

Xu Yi: Don't tell anyone. Ling'er secretly ran away from the village; she's a holy maiden of Miao territory. In a few days, her brothers will be coming after her, swords in hand.

Holy crap!

"Cough cough cough!"

Upon seeing the message on his phone, Liu Zheyun, who was drinking water, immediately spat it out, while Zhang Wei was so startled that he almost slipped off his chair.

A holy maiden from Miao territory! And a brother wielding a knife!

This isn't just a matter of online dating going wrong; it's about the lives of the entire family being ruined!

"Old Xu, take my advice. Why don't you buy a high-value accident insurance policy now and name me as the beneficiary? I'll burn the most expensive paper money for you every Qingming Festival from now on." Zhang Wei said with a mournful face, tightly gripping Xu Yi's hand under the table.

"Get lost!" Xu Yi kicked him in annoyance.

Just then, Bai Ling'er seemed to notice something, and her chopsticks paused slightly.

She slowly swallowed the food in her mouth, her eyes suddenly turning somewhat dark.

Zhang Wei's gaze drifted to Xu Yi under the table, to the hand that was holding Xu Yi's.

The temperature in the air seemed to drop several degrees in that instant.

"Brother Yi..."

Bai Ling'er's voice was still sweet, but it sent a chill down the spines of all the men present.

She slowly put down her chopsticks, tilted her head to look at Xu Yi, and had a smile on her lips.

"I don't understand the rules down the mountain, but my mother said that my husband is my private property for life, and other women can't touch him, and men... well, I guess not either."

As Bai Ling'er spoke, she lightly tapped the table with her right ring finger, her meaning all too clear.

"Hiss~~" Little Qing poked her little head out.

"Holy crap! Let go! Wei-ge, let go!" Liu Zheyun and Chen Yang were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they hurriedly pulled Zhang Wei's hand back.

Terrified, Zhang Wei raised his hands high, crying and shouting, "Sister-in-law, I'm a real man, a straight man of steel! I absolutely have no improper thoughts about Lao Xu!"

Xu Yi sat to the side, feeling Bai Ling'er's burning gaze, and cold sweat poured down his back again.

Oops.

He suddenly realized that this girl was carrying more than just nuclear weapons.

Her possessiveness... seems a little bit like yandere!

The commotion at this table was so great that the hot pot restaurant owner nervously offered two plates of free premium beef slices, hoping the group would eat their fill and leave quickly.

The three of them ate like they were chewing wax, afraid that they might accidentally touch Bai Ling'er's taboo if they didn't hold their chopsticks properly.

Bai Ling'er, on the other hand, ate with a happy expression, and every now and then she would personally feed Xu Yi a bite.

Xu Yi felt like she was being watched from behind, and she opened her mouth to accept the gazes from her close friends, which were filled with awe and sympathy.

Half an hour later, Xu Yi paid the bill and walked out of the hot pot restaurant.

As the evening breeze blew, Zhang Wei and the other two felt a chill on their backs, which were completely soaked with cold sweat.

"Hey Lao Xu, it's getting late. We guys need to get back to the dorms to finish our homework, so we won't disturb your sweet time with your wife!"

Zhang Wei, along with Liu Zheyun and Chen Yang, were about to slip away.

He trembles at the sight of Bai Ling'er, fearing that the little snake might jump out again and give him a quick, intimate kill.

"Wait!" Xu Yi quickly called out to them, his face filled with grief and indignation.

"You promised to help me find a solution? Are you just going to betray your teammates like this?"

Zhang Wei clasped his hands together, on the verge of tears: "Good brother, it's not that I'm disloyal, it's just that your wife is too tough. Why don't you just go along with her? If you don't come to calculus class tomorrow morning, I'll call for you!"

After saying that, the three of them disappeared in a flash, as if chased by ghosts.

"Brother Yi, your friends ran away so fast! Do they not like Ling'er?" Bai Ling'er asked, feeling a little aggrieved.

If we ignore Xiaoqing, who was twisted into a pretzel by her and was rolling her eyes.

"No, they were just... awestruck by you."

Xu Yi sighed, looking at her Miao ethnic costume that would turn heads on the street, and pointed to the shopping mall next door.

"Let's go, let's buy you some clothes you usually wear. You're wearing over 30 pounds of clothes, aren't you feeling uncomfortable?"

"It hurts! Listen to Brother Yi!" Bai Ling'er's mood instantly brightened, and she happily took Xu Yi's arm, pressing her whole body against him.

In the shopping mall, Bai Ling'er fully displayed her girlish nature when shopping.

However, she didn't even glance at modern black stockings, suspender dresses, or super short shorts.

In her words, her mother had instructed her that her husband should not be jealous before the marriage, and that a girl should not dress too revealingly for other men to see.

Finally, Xu Yi picked out a few pure white dresses and simple jeans and t-shirts for her.

When Bai Ling'er came out of the fitting room, Xu Yi was completely stunned.

Having shed her elaborate silver ornaments and finery, Bai Ling'er, now dressed in a white dress, with her flowing black hair and porcelain-white skin, looked as if she had descended from heaven.

"Brother Yi, does it look good?" Bai Ling'er asked shyly, tugging at her skirt.

"Beautiful, exceptionally beautiful," Xu Yi exclaimed sincerely.

Bai Ling'er smiled sweetly, but a hint of slyness flashed deep in her eyes: "That's good. If Brother Yi likes it, Ling'er will wear it for you every day."

As for the Miao ethnic costume that weighed several dozen kilograms, it naturally fell on Xu Yi's shoulders.

After returning the clothes to the apartment and settling Bai Ling'er in, Xu Yi glanced at the time.

"Ling'er, you can sleep in the apartment tonight. The bed is yours. I'll go back to my school dormitory to sleep," Xu Yi said very gentlemanly.

After all, they had only just met in real life. He was afraid his kidneys wouldn't be able to handle things if things progressed too quickly. Besides, his male intuition told him that the more alluring someone was, the more dangerous they were!

However, upon hearing these words, Bai Ling'er's smile vanished instantly.

The air fell silent instantly.

Bai Ling'er slowly raised her head. She didn't speak, but stared intently at Xu Yi, approaching him step by step.

"Wha...what's wrong?"

Xu Yi felt uneasy under her gaze and instinctively backed away until his back hit the wall.

Bai Ling'er reached out and slammed her hand against the wall next to Xu Yi's ear, giving him a wall slam.

She tiptoed slightly, her warm breath brushing against Xu Yi's neck, her voice soft: "Brother Yi...do you dislike Ling'er? Or do you have another fox spirit down the mountain, and you're going to see her tonight?"

"No, absolutely not!" Xu Yi raised his hands in surrender.

"Then why don't you spend time with Ling'er?"
