Chapter 178: tofu shop?

“With you by my side, I feel safe.”

Bai Luoxue’s cat-tailed peach blossom eyes blinked as she looked at Lin Xun.

Even though she was the Saintess of the Huanxi Sect, and the Huanxi Sect was known as a production base for “Green Teas.”

But in Bai Luoxue’s eyes, besides the charm flowing from her innate Bewitching Bone, what Lin Xun saw was an extreme purity.

Purity and charm are two completely different things.

Yet, they blended perfectly within those eyes.

If any other man saw those cat-tailed peach blossom eyes, they would likely fall victim to life’s three great delusions.

But Lin Xun wouldn’t!

Aside from that stone in the courtyard suppressing Lin Xun.

It was because Lin Xun knew this girl was just lusting after his body; she was lewd!

“I don’t have time, go by yourself,” Lin Xun refused decisively. “You must leave before dark; there are only a few days left before Qinger returns.”

Was he joking? Taking her to buy intimate apparel?

In these streets and alleys, if any aunts or nosy Luo City ladies saw him entering and leaving an underwear shop with another woman…

…then he would likely be buried alive on the very first day Qinger returned.

After refusing, Lin Xun didn’t want to deal with Bai Luoxue anymore.

He planned to clean the room, and then after Bai Luoxue left, air out the entire courtyard.

In any case, not a trace of Bai Luoxue’s scent could remain.

But just as Lin Xun took a step, seeing Bai Luoxue with her eyes lowered, for some reason, he recalled the lonely sight of her sitting alone in the courtyard, gazing at the starry sky all night long.

Under the stars, she didn’t seem like a Saintess, but more like a girl abandoned in this world, with no family or friends by her side.

All she had was her body, coveted by everyone, and the final command left by her deceased Master.

Lin Xun even felt that in her heart, her Master’s final command was the very meaning that sustained her life.

“Damn! My cursed kindness! One day, I’ll be killed by my own indecisiveness and compassion!”

Lin Xun sighed deeply. “I’ll go buy it for you. What kind do you want?”

Hearing Lin Xun agree, even though he wasn’t taking her along, a very subtle light still flickered in Bai Luoxue’s eyes.

The girl raised her head and spoke slowly, “I’ll wear whatever kind you like.”

“.” Lin Xun’s brow twitched as he pointed at the book on the table, The Thousand Layers of Green Tea Routines. “Did you learn that from there?”

“Yes,” Bai Luoxue nodded sincerely. “Actually, the book says that if a woman wears the clothes of the man’s girlfriend, he will be happier, but I didn’t think you would agree.”

“Exactly! I definitely wouldn’t agree! I don’t want to be like Hong Shixian.” Lin Xun turned and left, not wanting to say anything more.

Lin Xun went to a shop and picked one at random. Before the clerk could react, he threw down some silver and ran off without looking back, not even taking a paper bag.

However, Lin Xun was still recognized. He could vaguely hear the middle-aged clerk behind him teasingly laugh, “Mr. Lin is quite pure-hearted, running so fast after buying an undergarment for his wife…”

Lin Xun decided he couldn’t come to this street anymore.

Returning to the courtyard, Lin Xun pulled the clothes from his chest and shoved them into Bai Luoxue’s hands.

“Alright, you can go now. Don’t keep thinking about looking for me in the future. Focus on your cultivation. With your talent, even without following the path of Dual Cultivation, you can still attain the Jade Purity Realm.

If you’re really bored, then find a job. Working is quite good; as long as you do 007, you won’t be thinking about me all day.”

“Work?” As if thinking of something, Bai Luoxue looked up and blinked at Lin Xun.

Lin Xun had a bad feeling.

“You didn’t think of something strange again, did you? I’m telling you, read less of those books; they’re all lies. I once specifically read the Encyclopedia of Cringy Pick-up Lines, like ‘The night I miss you,’ and didn’t I still end up a single dog?”

“Okay, I understand. If you won’t let me read them, I won’t.” Bai Luoxue nodded.

“It’s not that I won’t let you, I…” Lin Xun was helpless. “Forget it, just go. Be careful on the way, and don’t come back.”

With that, Lin Xun handed her a small Flying Sword.

Because of the dark brake, she had lost a protective Magical Artifact. He didn’t know where that bellyband had drifted off to, but it definitely wasn’t coming back.

Regardless, Lin Xun felt responsible and had to compensate her.

“I looted this small Flying Sword from the Storage Pouch of a Yupu Realm monk from the Great Joy Temple. Its grade is decent, and it’s not hard to refine. I’ve already erased the mark on it, so you can refine it for your own use.”

“Okay,” Bai Luoxue nodded. “If I have anything good in the future, I’ll give it to you too.”

“No, there is no future. Goodbye. Turn left at the door; I won’t see you out.” Lin Xun quickly refused, turning to enter the house to clean a month’s worth of dust.

After all, before he left, he had forbidden Bai Luoxue from entering his room.

“Lin Xun,” Bai Luoxue called out softly as she watched him clean.

“What?”

“Is there anything you like?”

“I like eating tofu,” Lin Xun replied subconsciously.

“Oh.”

Bai Luoxue nodded thoughtfully.

When Lin Xun snapped out of it, Bai Luoxue had already disappeared from the courtyard.

Before dinner in the evening, Yaya returned home. Lin Xun, who had already finished cleaning the courtyard, ordered takeout again.

The takeout didn’t taste good, and plus Brother Lin said he would give her extra lessons tonight. In a bad mood, Yaya only ate three large bowls of rice; the child was almost starving to death.

In the evening, Lin Xun planned to explain a few pages of Confucian classics to Yaya, have her study some addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, and finally teach her some simple Qi-guiding Mind-Cultivation Techniques.

As it turned out, before he could finish the Confucian classics, Yaya fell asleep at her small desk.

Lin Xun had no choice but to pick Yaya up, wipe her face, wash her little feet, and carry her back to her room to let her sleep well.

Of course, as a qualified big brother, if today’s study tasks weren’t finished, they would have to be made up another day.

Involuntarily, Lin Xun felt that he was truly too dutiful.

If Chu Yaoyao knew how dedicated he was to her younger sister, she would probably cry from being so moved.

Sitting in the courtyard soaking his feet while reading a Little Liu Bei, Lin Xun felt the peaceful night. Having returned to a quiet life once again, he felt a bit sentimental.

As expected, what’s the point of fighting and killing? Daily life suits me best.

However, early the next morning, when Lin Xun opened the courtyard gate, he found that something was being renovated across from his courtyard. It seemed to be…

A tofu shop?
