Chapter 92 - 075 Jealousy is a science

Xu Chang’an looked at the mature and gentle lady in the mirror, his breathing became much more rapid. He closed his eyes and counted for a long time the zeros behind his Celestial Dao Points, only then did his gaze return to clarity.

Yun Qian is very beautiful. This mature and intellectual hairstyle suits her well.

"Do you like this?" Yun Qian stared at her reflection in the mirror, not quite understanding the difference between this hairstyle and her usual loose hair or low ponytail.

"I like it." Xu Chang’an thought to himself that this kind of Miss Yun made him feel, involuntarily, that she belonged to him.

But Miss Yun is not a possession.

"..."

That statement felt a bit odd.

Still, being able to live with Miss Yun, did he save the world in his past life or something?

Sometimes he thought he was truly a very lucky person.

"..."

Yun Qian watched the reflection in the mirror, looking through it at her husband standing behind her. She blinked, then yawned, appearing genuinely a bit tired.

"I told you to sleep for a while earlier." Xu Chang’an handed Yun Qian a handkerchief taken from her clothes, and wiped her eye corner with it.

Lying on his lap lost in thought also consumed energy. If she had obediently napped, she wouldn’t be teary-eyed now.

"I’ll be fine once I shake off the drowsiness." Yun Qian took the handkerchief from Xu Chang’an’s hand, turned around, nudged him, and said, "Isn’t there still something to pack."

Taking a couple of steps forward before turning back, Xu Chang’an said, "Don’t fall asleep... never mind, if you’re really tired, just take a short nap again."

"Mm." Yun Qian replied, watching Xu Chang’an leave her boudoir, stretching lazily before opening a makeup box, staring intently at a rouge container.

The rouge porcelain jar resembled the cup previously used for tea.

The tea experience she wanted was not as satisfying as expected because the tea itself did not comfort her much. So... wine still had an edge.

Yun Qian picked a novel from the bookshelf, flipped through it for a while, squinting her eyes.

She could understand a bit more of what was written in this book now.

Connecting it with what Xu Chang’an had told her, Yun Qian nodded.

Tea and wine are indeed different.

Tea makes one sober, wine leads to intoxication.

Tea Clear Heart, wine bring joy.

Tea-consuming Xu Chang’an indeed felt different from post-wine, more gentle, with cleaner eyes.

Therefore.

Men and women sipping tea together isn’t anything serious, can be explained as something fresh and elegant.

At least, it’s much better compared to drinking wine alone with a woman.

So it means, even watching Xu Chang’an and Miss Wen drinking tea, she shouldn’t mind much.

"..."

Yun Qian gently played with the long hair over her chest, then slotted the book back on the shelf.

In her understanding, a girl who gets jealous is more charming, and Xu Chang’an would like her paying attention to him in "jealousy" even if he knew she’s imitating or still learning.

Thus, to please Xu Chang’an, Yun Qian was continuously learning, trying to understand this feeling.

For Yun Qian, this path was not easy, as she originally had girls like Chi Lian Fairy, Lady Yao Yue to learn from, but because Xu Chang’an didn’t like her imitating them, she had to seek other ways, even explore on her own.

Now, after distinguishing tea and wine, Miss Yun had taken a big step toward the great goal of learning to be jealous, becoming a vinegar jar.

Yet, at the same time, a small thought arose in her heart.

Touching her cheek, Yun Qian couldn’t help but curl her lips.

Perhaps it’s the tea, as Xu Chang’an seemed more proactive post-tea than usual, is this what he meant by Tea Clear Heart, allowing him to directly face his inner thoughts?

But today’s tea wasn’t satisfying enough, so... tonight, please stay and drink wine with me.

It’s her turn to be proactive.

——

Outside, Xu Chang’an meticulously cleaned the tearoom and hall, using Spiritual Qi to filter once more, assuring fresh air before exhaling a relieved breath.

Xu Chang’an carefully packed away the tea sets he and Yun Qian used, then took out new ones to entertain Wen Li.

Organizing the tearoom, Xu Chang’an looked at the low table in the hall, making an additional spot opposite to the cushions for him and Yun Qian to accommodate Wen Li.

Finally, he set up a screen to temporarily obscure the path from the hall to Yun Qian’s chamber, preventing guests from viewing the door behind, content with his arrangement.

He walked to the screen and peered slightly into the room, noticing Yun Qian standing before a clothes rack, seemingly choosing a veil.

After stepping back, the tranquility on Xu Chang’an’s face gradually faded away.

Life is serene.

But outside serenity, there’s always something constantly reminding him, potential hidden dangers that could wreck his tranquility anytime.

Xu Chang’an lowered his voice and said, "System, is there really no problem with Celestial Dao Points increasing like this."

System: "..."

Not mentioning it on usual days doesn’t mean Celestial Dao Points haven’t increased, in reality... it’s been getting worse. As long as Xu Chang’an opens the system interface, he can see rows of data rapidly scrolling up. On closer inspection, it’s all Celestial Dao Points bonus, and it hasn’t stopped.

Just like the robot eyes in movies, Xu Chang’an’s eyes reflected the rapidly scrolling light green numeric data. Those knowing would say it’s Celestial Dao Points, others might think the system was transmitting data or hinting something to him.

"So, what sort of danger am I encountering?" Xu Chang’an asked.

The system still didn’t respond to Xu Chang’an.

"..."

Xu Chang’an furrowed his brows, pondered for a while, feeling he’s growing increasingly puzzled.

His perception of the system had changed, after confirming the system is indeed useful, he became more wary about such anomalies.

Xu Chang’an is a cautious, even overly cautious person.

This caution was evident in various aspects, such as exorcising demons during tasks down the mountain, or deliberately keeping a distance while interacting with girls daily... all showcased it.

Yet, facing this biggest anomaly beside him, he always felt lost.

Miss Yun wouldn’t be a danger, frail in body, with secrets.

If the danger isn’t something Miss Yun brought, then is the system trying to tell him... Yun Qian is going to encounter danger?
