I am the old, fiery-faced man from the senior department.

"You're Sister Chu Yu!"

"As you expected, a benefactor."

Nine-Tailed Wolper smiled and bowed slightly, apologizing to the two of them.

"My actions just now were indeed too rash, and I hope you will forgive me if I have offended you."

Returning to the 56th, it still smells better than my own teacher.

"Chuyu..."

Upon hearing this name, Xi narrowed her eyes, slowly sliding her hand that was holding Bai Zhou's wrist into his palm, and then tightened her grip on his hand.

She remembered this fox.

Because of her timidity back then, the fox took advantage of the little guy that night, and she still remembers how overpowering the strong fox smell on the little guy was when he came back.

"Oh. Have you two tied the knot yet? Do you have a baby? Is it a boy or a girl?"

Seeing the two's little gestures, Chu Yu smiled and asked with curiosity and enthusiasm.

"To achieve enlightenment?"

Looking at the gentleman beside him, whose face was calm and who seemed uninterested in the matter, Bai Zhou nodded and then shook his head.

"It's been repaired, but not completely."

"Ok?"

Chu Yu blinked, then realized she had been amused.

"As for the children..."

Bai Zhou gestured to her, and under Xi's slightly furrowed brows, Bai Zhou spoke to Chu Yu.

"Preparations are already underway. We want both boys and girls."

"oh--!"

Chu Yu's expression made Xi even more curious, and she squeezed Bai Zhou's hand with displeasure, pulling him back.

"Sister Chuyu, this is not the place to reminisce. Let's find a better place first, order some food and drinks, and talk in detail."

He had overheard Chu Yu's conversation with the manager. Since the food here was so bad, he would never bring Xi to eat here.

"Hmm, that's fine. I just happened to find a rather delicious little restaurant here a few days ago. Please come with me, you two esteemed guests."

After saying this, Chu Yu ignored the repeated dissuasion from the person in charge and resolutely left with the two of them.

【Quanning Street, Zhang-style Home Cooking】

Upon entering the small restaurant, the three of them went up to the second floor and found a private room to sit down.

The square table wasn't large, but it could still hold six or seven different plates, jars, bowls, and dishes.

Chu Yu sat alone opposite, her fluffy nine tails piled together, making her look much older.

During the day, he sat down next to Xi, then poured her tea and served her snacks to ease her boredom, as she had no interest in the reminiscing they were about to begin.

"What are you doing here, Sister Chuyu?"

During the day, Bai Zhou took the initiative to inquire about Chu Yu's situation.

"Alas, this is a long story."

Chu Yu glanced at the empty teacup in front of her, picked up the teapot and poured herself a cup of tea, then continued to answer Bai Zhou's questions.

"Grandma is getting old and her health isn't very good. Recently, for some reason, she's been missing her hometown and wants to eat some of its dishes and taste the flavors of her hometown."

“But none of the three of us sisters have ever been back to Grandma’s hometown, so naturally we can’t recreate the flavor that Grandma longed for.”

"Therefore, I wanted to learn the taste of the dishes that Grandma missed before Grandma... so I asked Grandma for her address and prepared to go there to practice."

The old woman's hometown?

During the day, he habitually tapped the side of his cup, recalling some information about the old woman.

“That’s very good. Sister Chuyu, you can tell me about any difficulties you may have. Grandma has contributed to the country, and I have also received guidance from Grandma. I will definitely repay Grandma’s kindness.”

"A kind gesture from a benefactor."

Chu Yu hurriedly thanked Bai Zhou.

Being able to help this benefactor is already a stroke of good fortune for them; they certainly don't need to ask anything of him.

"Grandma is just greedy, and I have already found out where she is from and contacted an aunt I haven't seen in a long time to help. It will only take a while to resolve this matter, and there is no need for a benefactor to worry about it."

Chu Yu didn't intend to dwell on the matter too much, and after finishing her words, she steered the conversation to the two of them.

"Six months ago, Sister Qinghuai missed her chance with a benefactor and was filled with regret after returning home."

"Shuangyue has already told me about the noble person who saved and helped her."

Chu Yu first told the sisters about some things related to the daytime, then she looked at the two who were almost touching, her silvery eyes rolled, and she suddenly covered her mouth and laughed.

"I also feel very sorry to have missed Sister Qinghuai. However, even though I am hundreds of miles away, I have heard about Sister Qinghuai's victory in the Yan Kingdom's martial arts competition and her subjugation of demons. I am deeply impressed."

Yan Kingdom...what kind of meeting?

Evening-style doubt.jpg

"Miss Shuangyue is kind and cheerful, but somewhat naive to worldly affairs. If we hadn't met by chance that day, who knows what evil things that demon would have done."

Bai Zhou also expressed his high opinion of the two, but after seeing Chu Yu's smile, he had a vague sense of unease.

"That girl Shuangyue is unruly and doesn't think things through. When faced with a problem, she just rushes in headfirst without any flexibility. If it weren't for the help of a benefactor, she would have been devoured by that demon long ago, causing the old woman to shed tears."

Chu Yu seemed very dissatisfied with her sister's behavior, and then she changed her tune and began to praise Bai Zhou.

"She was lucky to meet a benefactor. She told me all about it when she came back. She said that the benefactor was traveling with a woman with a white and red face. After learning what had happened from her, he righteously killed the demon and rid the people of harm."

She was simply praising Bai Zhou, and this gesture gradually dispelled the unease in Bai Zhou's heart.

Suddenly, Chu Yu changed the subject and uttered a sentence that made Bai Zhou almost see black.

"But after that girl came back, she insisted on wearing a wedding dress. When I asked her why, she said that the fairy-like beauty looked extremely beautiful in a wedding dress, and she wanted to try it on as well. I couldn't persuade her, so I had to let her be silly and let her wear the wedding dress and admire herself for a while before she would stop."

"..."

A fairy-like person? Wearing a wedding dress?

Xi was successfully drawn to this sentence.

She raised her eyebrows slightly, her bright red eyes looking at Chu Yu.

"What's going on with that woman? Why is she wearing a wedding dress?"

"Well..."

Chu Yu glanced at Bai Zhou, who was sitting upright with his tail wagging incessantly, smiled slightly, and continued to betray her younger sister.

"According to my mischievous sister, that demon is fond of stealing other men's wives, but the nobleman's superb thunder magic scared it away for miles and it never appeared again no matter what happened. It's really a coward."

"In order to lure out this cunning demon, the nobleman was willing to humble himself and marry the woman under the pretense of marriage, thus luring the snake out of its hole, and finally successfully killed the demon."

“However, my younger sister said that although the woman was extremely beautiful, she did not resemble you at all. I think that is impossible. After all, you and your husband are deeply in love and support each other. How could you let another woman marry your husband?”

"Now it seems that the girl was indeed lying."

Chu Yu watched the two of them with a pleasant expression, leisurely took a sip of tea, and casually criticized her younger sister.

"Getting married...is that so?"

It's hardened; its fists have hardened.

Xi glanced at the dragon beside her, who was staring straight ahead, and angrily wrapped her tail around the dragon's swaying tail, squeezing it hard as a form of punishment.

"Sir, that is only a temporary measure. Although that demon is greedy by nature, it is only susceptible to this one kind of temptation. If we do not deal with it quickly, who knows how many more good matches will fall into its hands."

The daytime whispers to the evening to explain the reason.

“My sister didn’t want to either; I begged her to do it. I’ve tarnished her reputation, so please scold me.”

Bai Zhou had no intention of making their already strained sisterly relationship worse, so she took all the blame upon herself.

Hmm... it seems like it really is all his fault.

Upon closer reflection, it was he who came up with the idea of ​​luring the demon into marriage, he who made the wedding dress for her, and he who arranged the entire process.

They did nothing wrong, yet they have to take the blame for so much. It's truly unfortunate and makes people feel sorry for them.

"If she doesn't want to, no one can force her."

Xi knew perfectly well what her seemingly harmless older sister was really like.

If she didn't want to, not only would Ben Axi not allow her to wear that wedding dress, but even her own brothers and sisters wouldn't allow it.

"But don't be complacent."

Moreover, Xi was angry not just because of Nian's little tricks.

"Oh, sir, please punish me. I will accept any punishment."

Since he had never considered running away, Bai Zhou dared to admit his mistake. Looking at Xi's serious face, he lowered his head slightly, waiting to be criticized.

"Humph~"

Xi raised her hand and tapped Bai Zhou's forehead lightly.

"Punishing evil and punishing the wicked is commendable. But how can you so easily expose yourself to its attack range when you don't know the enemy's situation?"

"What if it doesn't fall for your tricks? What if it uses insidious techniques to harm you?"

"What should I do if something happens to you?"

Xi looked at the daylight, grabbed his hand, and reprimanded him loudly. Her face was serious and earnest, but her body was trembling with fear.

"gentlemen……"

After a moment of silence, Bai Zhou suddenly reached out and pulled her into a tight embrace.

"..."

The attempt to cause trouble failed.

Chu Yu shook her head, feeling both regret and joy.
