"How did I become such a greedy person?" Xu Changāan muttered to himself.
Miss will probably be displeased.
Tsk.
Xu Changāan quickly realized that as Miss Yun became more beautiful, he became greedier.
His level of greed is directly proportional to her beauty.
Just like that.
Ah... I really am a hopelessly lustful person.
Xu Changāan held his head.
If Miss Yun could perceive all of his thoughts, she would probably be displeased... right?
Xu Changāan: "..."
Okay, I canāt deceive myself.
Would Yun Qian be unhappy because of his greed?
Xu Changāan certainly didnāt think so. With his Missās mindset... sheād be too happy to be bothered.
Sigh.
But he can only think this way. He must use the thought of Yun Qian being upset to deceive himself in order to overcome his greedy desires, right?
"?"
Yun Qian finished her makeup, and her eyes, like ancient wells, revealed some ripples, half-transparent with doubt.
The sound of Xu Changāan talking to himself naturally couldnāt be hidden from Yun Qian, so she tilted her head.
"Greedy? You?"
Who?
Her husband?
How is he greedy?
She canāt see it.
Yun Qian blinked and stared at Xu Changāan.
"What are you looking at?" Xu Changāan quickly noticed Yun Qianās unusual behavior.
"Nothing." Yun Qian shook her head. In her observation, Xu Changāan was still the same contented person he always was. His so-called sigh was just like the moon in a well, shattered at the slightest touch.
Shaking her head.
She wants Xu Changāan to be the type of greedy where heād want to grab hold of everything he encounters without letting go, but heās far from that.
"What are you thinking? Using some Spirit Stones and Miss being unhappy?" Seeing Yun Qian with a momentary frown, Xu Changāan couldnāt help but pinch her hand.
"Happy, if youāre happy, Iām happy." Yun Qian said casually.
Itās fine now.
Xu Changāan thought to himself that heās always pampered by the Miss, sooner or later heāll be spoiled, right?
Xu Changāanās gaze swept across Yun Qianās face, helplessly placing a Straw Hat gently on her, subtly coating the white veil with Spiritual Power to ensure it wouldnāt be disturbed by the wind when they went out later.
"Itās raining. Even if you use an umbrella later, you still need the Straw Hat to shield from the rain, so the makeup doesnāt get ruined." Xu Changāan said, "This doesnāt count as using Spiritual Power to shield from rain, so itās alright."
"Are we going out?" Yun Qian temporarily lifted the veil on the Straw Hat, revealing her face that Xu Changāan never grows tired of seeing.
"Yup, first to the painted boat... Oh, Miss, later I need to go to the back kitchen to prepare dinner. Before the banquet starts, Iām afraid youāll have to stay at the banquet alone for a while." Xu Changāan gave Yun Qian a headās-up: "But itās alright. Thereāll be a private room by then. Senior Zhu should accompany you, and possibly... add Miss Lu as well."
"Okay." Yun Qian responded.
"Weāre here to let Senior Zhu choose the Missās future cultivation method. She might want to examine your meridians, just like... when Senior Wen did, so donāt resist." Xu Changāan reminded: "Do you know what the method is?"
"I know a bit." Yun Qian slightly raised her hand, a long sleeve in mixed colors partly slid down, revealing a fair wrist, "Checking the pulse, then Spiritual Power."
Thinking of this, Yun Qianās left hand fell on her flat abdomen.
Yep.
The place where future children would be, naturally canāt be overlooked; itās considered Miss Yunās bottom line.
"Checking the pulse? No, no, no." Xu Changāan hearing Yun Qianās ānaiveā words, waved his hands repeatedly, with a peculiar expression.
"Isnāt it?" Yun Qian thought for a bit, then said: "Wen Li and her master both viewed me like that."
First checking the pulse, then following the pulse rhythm to input Spiritual Power True Yuan, then circulating in the meridians, then before accumulating into the Elixir Field the senior stops it, afterwards it returns to void.
This whole process, Yun Qian is quite familiar with.
"Miss, youāre talking about Senior Wen." Xu Changāan covered his forehead: "But today... itās Senior Zhu."
Xu Changāan was almost certain that Zhu Pingniang was definitely going to do something to Yun Qian while he was preparing dinner and she was alone.
With Zhu Pingniangās nature, teasing Miss Yun with a few words is practically certain.
"Miss Zhu?" Yun Qian looked at him.
Her attitude towards Zhu Pingniang was no longer as cold as before, since Zhu Pingniang somewhat resembles Xu Changāan.
"Senior Zhu..." Xu Changāan only felt a faint pain in his temples.
How to say...
He really was a bit worried about Zhu Pingniang.
Not that he was afraid Zhu Pingniang would genuinely bully Yun Qian, after all she was a senior, Xu Changāan just thought Zhu Pingniangās nature was too elusive, she doesnāt consider her dignity in front of juniors...
Who knows what she could do.
Itās precisely because Zhu Pingniangās intentions are unpredictable that it makes people uneasy.
"Ahem." Xu Changāan glanced in the direction of Zhu Pingniangās room, then leaned close to Yun Qianās ear and whispered, "Miss, in essence... if when Iām not around the senior says she wants to check your body but wonāt use the pulse-checking method and gets close to you, do you know what you should do?"
Yun Qian: "..."
Get close to her?
No, right?
Zhu Pingniang is clearly more interested in him.
Yun Qian didnāt understand, but Xu Changāan knew all too well.
Teasing Miss Yun is absolutely within Zhu Pingniangās repertoire!
Yun Qian shook her head, asking: "What should I do."
