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

Chapter 98 But he called me "wife"!

"you-!"

Su Jiu'er was so angry that her tails stood on end, her nine fox tails whipping wildly behind her. She was both anxious and furious: "Who's the stupid fox?"

"You're the stupid one! Your whole family is stupid!!"

After venting her anger, before Shen Yueli could respond, she took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

Don't get angry, you mustn't get angry—

This vixen was clearly provoking her on purpose. If she were truly led by the nose, that would be a real defeat. Su Jiu'er gave a coquettish snort, placed her hands on her hips, and deliberately puffed out her proud figure, using her "power" to intimidate: "Hmph!"

All you've got left is stubbornness.

"

'

'

Shen Yueli fell silent.

She glanced at Su Jiu'er silently, then clicked her tongue, clearly showing some jealousy: "That's all you've got."

Su Jiu'er did not respond, but simply straightened up again.

"————"

Seeing that the topic was getting out of hand, Shen Yueli decisively changed the subject: "Alright, let's end this boring topic here."

"us--"

Before he could finish speaking, Su Jiu'er interrupted him smugly: "So you think the topic is boring because you can't beat me, right?"

"you!"

Shen Yueli was finally angered by this stupid fox.

But she recovered in just a moment: "Never mind, I won't argue with you."

"Let's talk about something else."

She then began to scrutinize the little creature before her: "Are you a demon, or have you taken a transformation pill?"

"you guess?"

Su Jiu'er proudly raised her chin.

He had an expression that said, "What can you do to me?"

Shen Yueli rubbed her temples.

That's so stupid.

She really didn't want to talk to this stupid fox anymore.

But since the other party happened to be by her husband's side, she had no choice but to find out the truth.

Strangely enough, she has always been suspicious and cautious.

But after seeing that the little thing had transformed and was still in the same stupid state, the wariness in my heart was completely put down for the first time.

"Talking to idiots is definitely the most tiring thing."

"You're the idiot!"

Su Jiu'er bristled again, her hands forming claws as she snarled at Shen Yueli.

However, she showed no intention of making a move.

After all, she knew her own limitations.

"No, you're not stupid, you're the other woman!"

"I?"

Shen Yueli pointed to herself in disbelief, laughing instead of getting angry.

She wasn't really angry.

Based on just these few words of exchange, she was certain that the fox posed no threat to her.

Who would argue with a fool?

"Then what are you?"

Su Jiu'er, however, declared confidently, "Of course I am my husband's wife, his Daoist consort, his lawfully wedded principal wife!"

"Wife? Daoist partner?"

Upon hearing those two words, Shen Yueli's eyes flickered slightly, her thoughts churning.

But we don't have enough information yet; we need to probe further: "Is she the lawfully wedded wife?"

"And what about the evidence?"

Instead of reacting immediately, she pressed on, probing further.

"Do you have a marriage certificate?"

"Is there a betrothal gift?"

"Do you have the necessary matchmakers and credentials?"

"Or—did my husband admit it himself?"

Shen Yueli was not to be outdone, emphasizing the word "husband" with a resounding thud.

"I--"

Su Jiu'er was stunned.

yes-

These things did exist in my past life, but not in this one—

"N-nothing—"

The sound grew fainter and fainter until it was almost inaudible.

"That settles it."

Shen Yueli gave a mocking laugh.

What she wanted was to force her to reveal a weakness and spill more information.

"I'm not like you."

She walked to Su Jiu'er's side, pacing back and forth, her gaze indifferent, scrutinizing her from head to toe, each word piercing and cutting: "My husband has personally acknowledged my status as his fiancée."

"You were even there when he called me 'wife' on his own initiative."

"So, may I ask—does a certain fox receive this treatment?"

"I--!"

Su Jiu'er was speechless.

Every word Shen Yueli uttered was like a fine needle, piercing her heart.

Despite her growing lack of confidence, she still refused to back down: "Wasn't that because you forced me to!"

"Forced relationships are never sweet."

"Whether it's sweet or not, as long as it quenches my thirst, isn't that enough?"

Shen Yueli, however, seemed indifferent, shrugging her shoulders: "Besides, how do you know your husband doesn't like it?"

"If he truly didn't like me, would he be so compliant?"

"If you dislike it, then..."

"Will he let me hold him while some fox is fast asleep?"

Her tone was casual, yet it was incredibly hurtful: "After all, while you were sleeping with your tail as a pillow, I was sleeping with my husband in my arms."

"While you're drooling in your dreams, indulging in some unrealistic fantasies, I'm resting my head on my husband's arm."

.

"you say--

—

She moved a little closer, but because of her height, she couldn't get as close to Su Jiu'er's ear as she usually could.

He could only tilt his head slightly, but his gaze carried an air of condescending pressure: "Does this count?"

"...

—

Su Jiu'er clenched her fists tightly, biting her lips lightly, her gaze completely avoiding Shen Yueli's confident look.

But there was still resentment in her eyes.

Although the vixen's words were extremely hurtful, she couldn't refute them. However, she quickly seized on the key point and counterattacked: "That was all done secretly! When has your husband ever known?!"

"If you were truly so justified, why did you leave before he woke up?"

Shen Yueli didn't answer directly, but simply said, "But he calls me 'wife'~".

,

""

In an instant, the tense and jealous atmosphere fell into a deathly silence.

Just like Su Jiu'er insisted on comparing figures.

In this respect, she was completely helpless against Shen Yueli.

She made a final attempt to distance herself, then displayed the contractual artifact around her neck: "This is the Daoist partnership contract my husband and I signed! You don't have that anymore, do you?"

"A Daoist Companion—is the contract like this?"

Shen Yueli glanced suspiciously at the contract item that resembled a spirit pet collar.

"Of course! Although it's a bit strange, the contract on it is indeed a Daoist Couple Contract!"

"————?"

Seeing Su Jiu'er's confident demeanor, Shen Yueli no longer had any doubts.

After all, although this fox is stupid, it can't be so stupid that it can't even distinguish between a spirit pet contract and a Daoist partner contract.

She just didn't understand—

In her husband's eyes, this little guy was definitely just an ordinary spirit pet.

Why was she given this contract?

Don't you know?

Shen Yueli cut to the chase: "Does your husband know?"

"this--"

Su Jiu'er scratched her face awkwardly.

She wasn't really sure about that.

Or rather, she was completely deceiving herself.

Because at the time, my husband's intention was entirely to contract a spirit pet.

The other party only ever treated her as a spirit pet.

Su Jiu'er's eyes darted around, her conscience extremely guilty: "You should—know, right?"

'

'

Alright, Shen Yueli now fully understands.

However, she didn't expose her, but simply smiled and said, "I have a contract too~"

"ha?"

Su Jiu'er was dumbfounded.

How come this vixen has everything?

Then, to her astonishment, the other party slowly took out a jade tablet.

It was pressed against the side of her face, revealing a blush.

But that shy smile concealed a chilling danger, sending shivers down one's spine: "This thing is far more powerful than your contract~"
