Chapter 376: Fool…

Sitting in the courtyard, Lin Xun looked at the nearby residence, his heart filled with complex emotions.

Before today, Jiang Qingshang’s image in Lin Xun’s heart had always been that of a cold, aloof, and extremely talented woman.

But after today, Lin Xun found that he couldn’t quite see through her anymore.

Lin Xun didn’t know why, but it seemed like Jiang Qingshang was very close to him.

Lin Xun wasn’t sure if this closeness was simply because he was Qinger’s husband, causing her to feel a natural affinity for him by extension.

Or if it was because of something else.

But regardless, is it really okay for our family of three to live right next door to you?

Speaking of which, don’t the rumors say you like peace and quiet?

So, is this really okay?

Something’s not right; this isn’t the cultivation life I imagined.

In his impression, it should have been him and Qinger practicing in the outer sect of Zilin Holy Land, free and unfettered.

Then he would secretly help Qinger with her cultivation in various ways.

But now, he was right under Jiang Qingshang’s nose.

This makes things very difficult.

If he were to expose anything, the problem would be even bigger.

“Husband.”

Just as Lin Xun was wondering how things had come to this, while Yaya was still chasing butterflies in the courtyard…

Qinger’s voice came from outside the courtyard.

Lin Xun turned around and saw that his wife had already returned.

“Qinger, you’re back.” Lin Xun stepped forward and gently plucked a fallen leaf from his wife’s head.

“Mhm.” Jiang Qingshang nodded. “If I hadn’t run into Senior Xiao Juan on the way, Qinger wouldn’t have been able to find this place.”

Saying that, Jiang Qingshang looked around the courtyard. “Is the house Husband chose here? This place is quite nice.”

“It is quite nice…” Lin Xun felt a bit embarrassed. “But the Saintess lives right next door to us…”

“Sister Qingshang?”

Jiang Qingshang blinked her eyes, looking a bit surprised.

“Mhm.” Lin Xun nodded, his head aching as he recalled the earlier house selection.

Actually, Lin Xun really wanted to say, “From beginning to end, the Saintess chose the courtyard for us; your husband’s words didn’t seem to matter at all.”

But in the end, Lin Xun gave up on that.

He felt like saying that would make it sound like he was having an affair, constantly compromising for another woman.

Or it would give Qinger the feeling that the Saintess had designs on her husband.

“Let’s go, Qinger. Let’s pay the Saintess a visit.”

Lin Xun sighed in his heart.

Although Lin Xun really didn’t want to go to Jiang Qingshang’s place.

But regardless, they were neighbors and would see each other often, not to mention she was Qinger’s best friend.

Since he was living next door, logically, he should pay a symbolic visit.

It’s like greeting your neighbors when you move into a new home.

“That… Husband…”

Jiang Qingshang grabbed her husband’s arm.

“Sister Qingshang doesn’t like being disturbed, so there’s no need. Sister Qingshang doesn’t care about Mortal World etiquette either.”

Lin Xun looked at the neighboring courtyard, thought for a moment, and nodded. “Alright then.”

It made sense; she looked so cold and aloof, she probably didn’t care for such mundane social graces.

Since Qinger said so.

He didn’t have to see her, which was actually quite good.

“Husband… Actually, there’s something Qinger wants to tell you.” Jiang Qingshang’s eyes flickered as she spoke slowly.

“Hmm? What is it?”

“Well… Actually, the Zilin Sacred Lord told Qinger that the Sacred Lord will personally teach Qinger cultivation.”

“Zilin Sacred Lord?”

Jiang Yuerou?

So Qinger went to see Jiang Yuerou?

“Husband… Maybe Qinger should refuse…” Seeing Lin Xun dazed, Jiang Qingshang spoke softly.

“Refuse? Why refuse?”

“Because if Qinger goes to Holy Master Peak, she’ll only be back in the evenings and won’t be able to cultivate with Husband.”

“Fool.”

Lin Xun gently put his arm around Jiang Qingshang’s slender waist.

“Qinger, you should go. Jiang Yue… Sacred Lord Jiang is an Ascension Realm Cultivator. With her guidance, Qinger will surely improve very quickly.

Besides, it’s not like Qinger won’t be back for the whole day. Yaya and I will be waiting for you.”

“But…”

“Alright, no buts.” Lin Xun smiled and squeezed Jiang Qingshang’s small hand. “Qinger, just go with peace of mind.”

Although he also wanted to cultivate with Qinger.

But it would be very good if Qinger could be taken as a Disciple by Jiang Yuerou.

Even though back then Jiang Yuerou was soundly defeated by him and tied up like a bow.

However, Lin Xun still acknowledged Jiang Yuerou’s abilities.

Moreover, it wouldn’t be long before Wang Xing’s Coming-of-Age Ceremony was held, and he needed some private time.

After all, he had promised Wang Xing that he would attend her Coming-of-Age Ceremony.

If Qinger was always by his side, it wouldn’t be very convenient.

“Mhm.” In Lin Xun’s embrace, Jiang Qingshang nodded. “Then I will go to the Sacred Lord. I will definitely come back early.”

“No rush, we have plenty of time in the future.” Lin Xun tapped his wife’s nose. “After all, we are now practitioners of cultivation.”

“Husband.”

“Hmm?”

Just as Lin Xun lowered his head.

In Lin Xun’s arms, Jiang Qingshang called out softly and stood on her tiptoes.

On the other side, Yaya, who was chasing butterflies in the courtyard, stopped.

Seeing Sister Qinger and Brother Lin, Yaya’s cheeks turned red, and she quickly covered her eyes.

So embarrassing!

But Yaya couldn’t help but peek through the gaps in her fingers.

Yaya was a bit curious.

Why do adults always like to kiss?

What does kissing actually feel like?

Early the next morning, just as the morning glow broke through the sky, Jiang Qingshang rose from the bed.

After getting dressed, Jiang Qingshang tucked her husband in and gave him a light kiss on the forehead before leaving the room.

Jiang Qingshang went into the kitchen in the courtyard, took out food filled with spiritual energy from her Storage Ring, and prepared breakfast for her husband and Yaya.

After finishing, Jiang Qingshang returned to the neighboring courtyard.

Jiang Qingshang transformed her appearance and changed into another dress.

She spun around in front of the mirror.

Perhaps thinking this outfit wasn’t pretty enough, the young girl changed again.

But even after changing, she still wasn’t satisfied.

Half a stick of incense’s time passed, and she had changed through a dozen outfits.

Finally, the girl chose a simple and elegant white waist-cinching gauze dress.

“Fool.”

Sitting on the bed, the girl’s long, fair fingers lightly tapped the Plush Toy he had once given her.

Looking at the Plush Toy, she smiled sweetly at some thought and sat up from the bed.

Happily stepping out of her room, she walked toward the next house.

【Blind date tomorrow, not sure when I’ll be back, might skip a day. But Author will try not to skip! Definitely! Hope it goes smoothly.】
