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

Chapter 87 My Husband's Bed is Already Full (Seeking First Subscription)

"?"

Chen Lianshu was slightly taken aback.

I never expected her to make such a request.

Shen Yueli shook the pill in her hand again, her smile sly, with a touch of the usual mischievousness of a young girl.

"Then I'll take it back!"

As she spoke, she made a gesture as if to put the pill into her bosom.

"etc."

Chen Lianshu held her hand still and sighed helplessly.

Call me "wife" and I'll give you a high-grade pill that can lift the restriction.

This deal is a win-win situation no matter how you look at it.

Besides, he's not the kind of person who can't bring himself to do something.

Under Shen Yueli's expectant gaze, he spoke frankly, "My wife."

The sound wasn't loud, but it was clear and distinct.

[The Demonic Path: 13%]

"————!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yueli froze.

His playful and nonchalant expression froze instantly, replaced by a moment of bewilderment.

She stared blankly at Chen Lianshu, the word "wife" seeming to pull her back to the days when her husband called her "Li'er"—

But it was only for a moment.

The next moment, she stuffed the pill into his hand.

The action was so decisive, as if she hadn't been the one haggling just moments before.

"You just gave it to me like that?"

Chen Lianshu was somewhat surprised: "You won't let me call out a few more times?"

"Dream on."

Shen Yueli forced herself to remain calm.

She turned her face away casually, trying her best to maintain her usual smiling demeanor.

To avoid being called too often and having her husband notice something amiss, she feigned a coquettish retort: ​​"If you call me that too often, it loses its value."

To conceal the flutter in her heart, she deliberately moved closer, taking the initiative to turn the tables.

"After all, we have a long life ahead of us, my husband~"

The way she called him "husband" maintained the girl's usual tone, so sweet it was almost cloying.

But unexpectedly, the atmosphere suddenly fell into an awkward silence.

"I'll go and bring Jiu'er over."

"If we stay any longer, the little one will become difficult to soothe."

After a moment, Chen Lianshu suddenly got up and casually made up an excuse to leave temporarily.

"Um."

Shen Yueli didn't ask any further questions and simply nodded.

She only let out a long sigh of relief after his figure disappeared into the distance.

"call"

"fine--"

The girl pressed her hand to her heart, feeling the almost overflowing heartbeat.

We almost got exposed.

I almost let him see me looking so pathetic.

He was the one who called her "wife," so why did he break down so easily?

Shen Yueli took a deep breath, trying to calm her wildly beating heart.

But the word "wife" kept echoing in my mind, over and over again.

The girl's face grew increasingly rosy—

Even after her husband returned, she was still not completely calm.

Fortunately, the crimson hue was not obvious under the moonlight and firelight.

This time, the two were not sitting side by side, but they also sat across the fire without any awkwardness.

Chen Lianshu gently comforted Su Jiu'er, who had just been freed.

"Waaaaah—"

The little guy was extremely upset.

She leaned on her husband's shoulder, sobbing, accusing, and venting her emotions.

After all, she witnessed everything, yet there was nothing she could do.

This awkward atmosphere lasted for quite a while.

Shen Yueli was the first to break the barrier.

"By the way, why don't you take that pill now?"

"I will protect you."

"?"

Chen Lianshu was quite surprised.

"You seem a little surprised?"

Shen Yueli tilted her head to look at him, and naturally saw the doubt in his heart.

"Did I unexpectedly lift your restrictions so readily?"

"--Um."

Chen Lianshu answered truthfully.

He always thought that Shen Yueli would use the restrictions to control and manipulate him.

But her current actions have completely taken him by surprise.

"Heh~"

Shen Yueli chuckled and reached out to pinch his cheek: "Are you silly?"

"What I want is never a puppet that is restricted and controlled."

"What I want—"

She paused, her gaze softening: "It's because you willingly stayed by my side."

This statement was made without any attempt to conceal its meaning.

Chen Lianshu looked at her, speechless for a moment.

"Okay, stop spacing out."

As she spoke, Shen Yueli didn't give the other person a chance to think.

"Take it."

"Although there won't be any pain, it will still take some time to refine."

"I will protect you."

Chen Lianshu looked down at the pill in his palm, then looked up at the girl in front of him.

In the end, she nodded slightly.

He put the pill in his mouth.

The pill melted upon entering the mouth, transforming into a warm current that rushed into the body.

Immediately, waves of pain surged through his body, a sign that the restriction had been lifted.

"Don't resist, relax."

Shen Yueli's voice rang in my ears, unusually devoid of mockery, gentle as spring water.

She reached out and gently placed her hand on her husband's back, guiding the medicine's effects.

"Waaah—"

Su Jiu'er could only watch this scene with longing.

Even though this wicked woman is taking advantage of her husband again.

But this was a crucial moment, and she didn't want to disturb them.

They could only squat silently to the side, expressing their dissatisfaction with their eyes.

About the time it takes to burn an incense stick.

As Chen Lianshu let out a long sigh of relief, the restriction that had been troubling him for so long finally disappeared completely.

Apart from the Soul Tablet, he finally took a half-step towards freedom.

He didn't even know if it was because of his mood, but he felt more relaxed than ever before.

"How does it feel?"

Shen Yueli withdrew her hand and asked with concern.

"Great, just a little sleepy."

Chen Lianshu stretched his muscles a little.

"It's normal to feel tired; you'll feel better after a night's rest."

"but--"

Shen Yueli seemed to have recovered from the sound of "wife" she had just heard.

She leaned closer, and a delicate fragrance wafted over him. Her stunningly beautiful face was almost touching his: "Now that the restriction has been lifted..."

She blinked and smiled brightly: "Then between you and me, you are the husband I've chosen, and I am the wife who will cling to you no matter what."

"—Your choice of words."

Chen Lianshu was speechless for a moment.

"What? Is that not right?"

Shen Yueli retorted confidently, "I traveled all the way from the Southern Region, bringing you resources and antidotes, and even protecting you. What else is this but persistent pestering?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yueli herself was taken aback.

She then turned her face away, waving her hand as if nothing had happened: "Alright, you should get some rest."

"This holy maiden still needs to cultivate."

Chen Lianshu looked at the girl's contradictory expression and suddenly found it somewhat amusing.

She was just moments ago confidently saying she would "cling to him relentlessly," but now she doesn't even dare to look at him.

However, he didn't expose him, but simply nodded obediently: "Okay."

Then, Chen Lianshu carried Su Jiu'er to the side and spread a blanket on the soft grass.

Perhaps due to the effects of the medicine, he fell into a deep sleep before the little guy even got into bed.

Just as Su Jiu'er was about to snuggle up to her husband's chest and warm him up with her tail as usual, she heard, "This place is already full."

A hand reached out, grabbed her by the scruff of her neck, and lifted her up as a fox.

When Su Jiu'er met that charming face with a faint smile, she immediately began to struggle.

"A spirit pet should act like a spirit pet."

Unexpectedly, Shen Yueli did not hurt her as she had imagined; she simply gently placed Su Jiu'er aside.

"Huh?"

Then, under Su Jiu'er's questioning gaze...

Shen Yueli actually crawled into her husband's bed?!

She gently lay down beside him, wrapped her arms around his waist, and snuggled into his embrace.

That movement was even more natural than hers?!

At that moment, the little fox suddenly felt a pang of longing for Mu Qianxue.

At least when she was arguing with her senior sister, she could at least manage to exchange a couple of blows.

Only now did she belatedly realize that she and Mu Qianxue had been nothing more than two chickens pecking at each other from beginning to end.
