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

Chapter 85 The Incompetent Wife

Upon hearing this, Su Jiu'er reacted even more strongly than the other two.

"?!"

She was completely stunned, her little mind went blank, and she couldn't understand how things had turned out this way.

Just a moment ago, the two of them were at each other's throats, but now they're calling each other "husband" all of a sudden.

Did she mishear?

And—if this woman calls her husband "husband," then what is she?

The little fox's thoughts were completely jumbled up.

Even though she couldn't understand anything, she still knew what to do.

A husband can only belong to her alone!

The next moment, Su Jiu'er clung tightly to Chen Lianshu with her little paws, and the whole fox seemed to explode with excitement.

Shen Yueli is not the type to silently endure jealousy.

Once she gets jealous, she won't hesitate to confront the other person, no matter if they're a spirit pet or anything else.

"Go away, don't ruin the mood."

After saying that, she grabbed Su Jiu'er by the back of the neck and put the little one aside.

Before Chen Lianshu could react, he decisively rushed forward.

"Waaaaah!!!"

Don't you dare touch my husband!!!

This completely enraged the little guy.

"oops?"

Shen Yueli raised an eyebrow, looking at the impotent and furious little fox with a half-smile.

Instead of letting go, she moved even closer, as if she wanted to snuggle into her husband's arms.

That's just her personality; she especially enjoys seeing others jealous and helpless.

The little thing's reaction was really interesting, which made her want to play a bit.

"You little thing are quite possessive of your food."

She reached out and casually tapped Su Jiu'er's brow with her fingertip, her tone laced with provocation and amusement: "What a pity."

Even if we're talking about who arrived first, you're still behind me in line~

"!"

'

Su Jiu was so angry that she trembled all over. She desperately tried to push forward, attempting to use her head to push the woman's hands away.

Unfortunately, she has very little spiritual power left to draw upon, making her powerless to resist.

It could only helplessly kick its limbs.

"Heh~"

Even after Shen Yueli lifted her by the back of the neck again, and she struggled for a long time but only thrashed about in the air, she still didn't give up.

But the fox was completely under the control of this wicked woman.

'

Surrounded by the soft fragrance of jade, Chen Lianshu was not intoxicated by it.

He felt overwhelmed and confused.

The girl pressed close to him, the nearby spirit pets seemed jealous, his senior sister outside was probably on her way, and their master was waiting at the sect's gates—

It's truly a case of one problem after another.

"Ahem!"

He then cleared his throat; it was time to get to the point.

After all, this question had been weighing on my mind for a long time, and now that I've finally met the person in question, I can finally ask them.

"I don't know, Your Majesty—"

Before she could finish speaking, Shen Yueli loosened her embrace in dissatisfaction.

She sat on her husband's lap, staring intently into his eyes, and corrected him, "Call me Li'er."

"—Why does Li'er call me husband?"

After a moment's hesitation, Chen Lianshu finally asked the question.

After all, it wasn't the first time they'd called it that.

Upon hearing this, the air seemed to freeze for a moment.

Shen Yueli's teasing of Su Jiu'er also stopped.

Chen Lianshu could even clearly catch the complex emotions in her eyes for a moment.

Shen Yueli did not answer immediately, but simply released her grip on Su Jiu'er's hand.

The little one landed on Chen Lianshu's lap, then immediately scrambled onto his shoulder, warily eyeing the dangerous woman before him.

However, the other party completely ignored her gaze and simply stared at Chen Lianshu quietly.

""

Then his voice deepened, all playfulness gone, and he said with utmost seriousness, "You really don't remember?"

"6

Chen Lianshu remained silent.

He knew what the other person was referring to.

It was those simulated memories that the system had taken away, everything the two had experienced in the simulation.

However—this is a topic that he cannot bring up himself.

Otherwise, it will be difficult to explain.

Looking at her husband's expression, Shen Yueli understood the answer.

She didn't press further, nor did she show any disappointment, as if she had expected this outcome.

She reached out and gently stroked her husband's cheek, her movements soft and gentle, completely devoid of her usual domineering demeanor.

"Forget it, then forget it."

These words seemed to be meant to comfort the person in front of her, but in reality, they were more meant to comfort herself.

"Anyway, you're right here in my arms."

"If things don't work out, we can just start over."

"But you probably won't understand what I'm saying."

"All of this can be roughly interpreted as—I fell in love with you at first sight."

"...

'

Surprisingly, Chen Lianshu's reaction was rather indifferent.

After all, that wasn't the answer he wanted.

One or two of them are riddle solvers—

Does he really have to complete all the simulation lines to recover that memory?

"You don't seem surprised?"

Shen Yueli also keenly sensed something amiss: "Could it be that you've guessed something?"

"Or do you know something about it?"

However, Chen Lianshu's answer was extremely ambiguous.

"I just feel that this is not like the Saintess's personality."

"Call me Li'er."

Shen Yueli corrected her again, but her tone was extremely gentle.

She doesn't blame her husband now, but if things continue to become estranged, she wouldn't mind making sure he remembers it well.

How about this?

Then, the girl changed the subject and stood up as well.

However, she did not go far away, but sat down to the side and naturally took her husband's hand.

It can be described as extremely bold, making no attempt to conceal its true intentions.

"How about this, tell me about your situation, and we can exchange information?"

"Can."

Chen Lianshu had no reason to refuse.

After all, this is beneficial and harmless to him.

He even had a vague feeling that Shen Yueli was letting him win.

She seemed to want to tell herself something.

"Waaaaah!"

But Su Jiu'er, standing to the side, couldn't stand it. She anxiously watched the two of them holding hands.

She's never held my hand like that before!

How could this woman have taken it first?!

The little creature climbed onto Chen Lianshu's lap and desperately pawed at her husband's hand, trying to free it from the woman's clutches.

Unfortunately, her strength was far from sufficient, and besides, claws are not as convenient as human hands.

"Stop fooling around, little one."

Although Shen Yueli was jealous, she wasn't so bored as to treat a spirit pet as a love rival.

After all, she didn't even take Mu Qianxue seriously, let alone a little creature that hadn't yet taken human form.

Moreover, this was her husband's spirit pet, and she was its mistress, so naturally she wouldn't hold it against it.

However—this little thing is really too noisy.

To avoid it ruining the atmosphere again at an inopportune time.

With a casual wave of her hand, Shen Yueli gently lifted Su Jiu'er and placed her on a rock not far away.

"Waaaaah!!"

Su Jiu'er was so anxious that she kept stamping her paws.

But then he found himself trapped by an invisible barrier.

No matter how hard I try to flush it out, it won't budge.

"Stay put and wait until my husband and I finish discussing important matters, then I'll let you out."

After saying that, Shen Yueli ignored the little guy in the barrier and turned to look at her husband beside her.

"Waaaaah!!!"

Su Jiu'er's protests gradually subsided.

The barrier apparently also had a soundproofing effect.

And she could only watch from afar as her husband was taken advantage of by other women—

She perfectly exemplifies what it means to be an "incompetent wife".

"————"

Chen Lianshu watched this scene, her lips twitching slightly.

This saintess is truly decisive in her actions.

Even he couldn't bear to look at Jiu'er's eyes anymore.

"Alright, the troublesome little guy is gone."

"Let's continue~"

Shen Yueli withdrew her hand with satisfaction and turned her attention back to Chen Lianshu.

She chuckled softly, a hint of tenderness in her voice: "Now let's have a good chat, my little undercover agent."

"What would Your Majesty like to discuss?"

"Call me Li'er."

The girl corrected herself again earnestly.

"—So—what would Li'er like to talk about?"

Chen Lianshu readily accepted the good advice.

"Hmm, that's more like it."

Shen Yueli nodded in satisfaction.

Let's chat.

Her gaze fell on the green lotus sword, her eyes wary, and she asked curiously, "What has happened to you at the Jade Jade Sect lately?"
