Walnut used me to boost her sales performance.

Jiang Bai was satisfied.

He kissed Walnut's earlobe twice, then turned her head towards him.

He looked at Hu Tao with his big, clear, watery eyes.

Looking into his eyes, Hu Tao instinctively looked away, her heart pounding wildly.

"Dangzu, I want a hug..."

Hu Tao turned her head away, and although she was disgusted, she still honestly hugged him.

Jiang Bai leaned his head closer.

"Dangzu, I want a kiss!"

Hu Tao pressed his head down, trying her best to act as if nothing was wrong.

"Stop talking, your tone is weird."

"It's not my fault," Jiang Bai said, feeling wronged.

His tongue was bitten, and he couldn't walk straight. What could he do?

Jiang Bai looked aggrieved, his eyes glistening with tears. He was adept at playing the victim and feigning helplessness.

But Hu Tao actually fell for his trick.

Hu Tao reached out and patted his head. "Okay, okay, it doesn't hurt anymore, it doesn't hurt anymore..."

"I want a kiss, I want a kiss!" Jiang Bai persisted.

Hu Tao got goosebumps all over her body.

How can this man utter such reduplicated words without any difficulty?

Hu Tao reached out and pressed him down, "Stop, stop!"

"Let me make this clear first! I have very high standards for my partner."

Although I'm not entirely sure why we've suddenly reached this point, it's still necessary to say what needs to be said.

"Mmm!" Jiang Bai looked at him with sparkling eyes.

“I am the only son of our Wangsheng Hall, so you must have married into our Wangsheng Hall.”

"Mhm." Jiang Bai nodded without hesitation.

He's all alone, why would he care about that?

Seeing him nod and try to move closer, Hu Tao pressed his head down with her index finger.

"My man can only have me as his woman for his entire life. Do you have any objections?"

"Yes, yes, you too, Hall Master, you can only have me."

Jiang Bai nuzzled his head against her and kissed her on the cheek.

Hu Tao stopped, "I haven't finished yet."

"I am still young. You are not allowed to cross the line before you come of age, do you hear me?"

Hu Tao felt it was necessary to bring this point up.

To prevent that shameless guy from doing something bad behind my back.

She hadn't planned to become lovers with him so soon, but Jiang Bai's actions forced her to confront their current relationship.

But we're already the most important people to each other, so it doesn't matter if it's a little earlier or a little later.

She doesn't want this to happen again.

Her 17th birthday is coming up soon. After she comes of age, she can have her wedding and then decide on an heir as soon as possible so that the lineage of the ancestral hall doesn't end.

They have their own responsibilities at the shrine for the deceased, and the head of the shrine also has a high mortality rate, just like her parents who passed away early.

Having offspring early is very important, but reaching adulthood is the bottom line.

"Master, am I that kind of person?!"

Jiang Bai had objections to Hu Tao's distrust.

How could such a virtuous and upright gentleman do such a thing?

Hu Tao glanced at him and said, "Just tell me if you agree or not."

"Yes, no problem, no problem!"

Is there anything else?

Hu Tao thought for a moment, but couldn't think of anything else.

"I'll think about it later."

"Can we kiss now?" Jiang Bai blinked.

Hu Tao took the initiative to wrap her arms around his neck and kissed him.

Chapter 631 He's so annoying!

The two didn't emerge from the room until the sun was high in the sky.

Jiang Bai's breathing had calmed down, but Hu Tao's face was still flushed.

But if you look closely at their lips, they are all a bit swollen.

"Go eat by yourself, I need to freshen up."

With a quick flip, Hu Tao rolled over the wall and back into her yard.

Jiang Bai sat on the steps by the door, grinning foolishly as he watched Hu Tao's retreating figure.

Hehe, now I can openly hold the hall master's hand.

When Hu Tao left, Jiang Bai was grinning foolishly. When Hu Tao returned after washing up, Jiang Bai was still grinning foolishly.

She changed into a black dress adorned with red plum blossoms. The dress was knee-length, not fussy, but very exquisite.

Long socks covered her calves, and she wore a pair of small leather shoes.

Her long hair was tied with two red bows, which hung casually behind her ears.

Hu Tao walked up to him and waved her hand in front of his eyes.

Why are you still here?

Jiang Bai stretched out his hand, blinking his eyes, "Master, let's hold hands."

Hu Tao blushed and didn't offer to hold her hand.

"Look how long it's been since you washed up. Go and get ready."

Jiang Bai is still wearing the same clothes he wore in the Abyss. Luckily, he was unconscious before, otherwise the clothes would have been smelly long ago.

"Ten minutes will be enough. Wait for my master!"

Jiang Bai ran to the bathroom and, without caring whether there was hot water, turned on the tap and started rinsing himself.

Ten minutes later, he changed into clean clothes and came out with his hair still wet.

"Hold hands!" He looked at Hu Tao expectantly.

Hu Tao took his hand, and the two walked out hand in hand.

Stepping out of the courtyard, Jiang Bai deliberately walked towards a crowded area.

Seeing them holding hands, all the ritual attendants at the funeral parlor stopped in their tracks.

Their gazes held a hint of surprise, but not much unexpectedness.

Everyone at the Hall of Rebirth knows that ever since Jiang Bai came to the Hall of Rebirth, Hu Tao has had a tail following her around.

The two of them spend every day together, so it was only a matter of time before they reached this point.

Of course, not everyone's gaze is friendly.

Most of the elderly people at the ancestral hall have watched Hu Tao grow up, and they see her as their own daughter.

At this moment, seeing Jiang Bai holding Hu Tao's hand, a murderous gaze was immediately cast over.

This includes Uncle Ge, who has always been very kind to Jiang Bai.

"Jiang Bai, you're awake."

Uncle Ge looked at Jiang Bai with a forced smile.

Under the gaze of these elders, Jiang Bai felt a chill run down his spine, but he still held Hu Tao's hand tightly.

"Hmm, Uncle Ge, what's good to eat today?"

"Go see for yourself, why are you asking me about this?" After saying that, Uncle Ge went to the kitchen to get busy, leaving him with only his back view.

Jiang Bai wasn't embarrassed and pulled Hu Tao to get some food.

Just as the two were eating, one of the servants finally couldn't resist coming over.

"Master, what's going on here?"

"Come here, Master—" Jiang Bai picked up a peeled shrimp and put it near Hu Tao's mouth.

Walnut opened her mouth and naturally took a bite.

Jiang Bai stood close to Hu Tao, tilted his head back, and made a troubled expression.

"I originally wanted to keep a low profile, but alas, it seems I'm destined not to be able to. Yes, you read that right, just as you think."

Yi Guan: "..."

He's so annoying, I really want to punch him.

Not only did the ceremonial attendants think he deserved a beating, but Hu Tao also thought he deserved one.

Hu Tao's gaze swept over, and Jiang Bai immediately shrank back, regaining his composure.

"Come on, Master, have another one."

After dinner, Jiang Bai took Hu Tao and strolled over to Zhong Li's courtyard.

Since they were going to announce their relationship to the world, they certainly couldn't leave out Zhongli.

Zhongli's gaze fell on the two's clasped hands. Although she had no expression, Jiang Bai sensed a deadly danger.

Jiang Bai quickly changed the subject, "Master, I'm awake!"

"Hmm," Zhongli replied with a nonchalant "hmm."

"A friend invited me to have tea. Please make yourselves at home."

With that, Zhongli walked out with his hands behind his back.

They obviously didn't want to see him.

Hu Tao rolled her eyes at Jiang Bai, "You'd better watch out, or you might get a beating up in a sack one day."

That smug look of his is just asking for a beating.

"Hey, who can get my sack covered?"

Jiang Bai wasn't afraid at all.

Unless Zhongli personally disciplines him, no one in Liyue can rival him.

"Oh? Is that so?"

Hu Tao pulled out a burlap sack from somewhere and put it directly over his head.

"How about it?"

Jiang Bai, having removed the sack, playfully tugged at Hu Tao's arm, "I was talking about other people, of course not including the hall master..."

"Alright, alright, Yidou and the others were quite worried about you. Now that you're awake, go out for a walk."

"Ichidou is here?"

Jiang Bai suddenly realized that he had only just noticed the message Hu Tao had sent him earlier.

Where are they?
