Chapter 406: Hold Me Tighter!

“Husband, it’s time to eat.”

“Oh, okay.”

In the evening, Jiang Qingshang walked out of the kitchen carrying the dishes.

Lin Xun seemed quite absent-minded today.

Similarly, Jiang Qingshang also felt a bit guilty in her heart.

Just now, Jiang Qingshang had added something to the food.

This powder came from Medicine King Valley and was called “Fragrance-Free Powder.”

It was colorless and tasteless, with the effects of inducing sleep, calming the mind, and replenishing spiritual energy.

However, the “sleep-inducing and mind-calming” effect was only useful for Cultivators below the Golden Core Realm.

If the other person’s Realm was above the Golden Core Realm, then “Fragrance-Free Powder” would just be equivalent to a common spiritual energy preparation.

Because it was colorless, tasteless, and even a type of tonic, Cultivators above the Golden Core Realm would simply dissolve it, and when mixed into spiritual food, it was impossible to detect.

“Husband has only just started cultivating, and his Realm isn’t even at the Furnace Building Realm yet.

If Husband isn’t Lin Xun, he will become sleepy and lose consciousness.

If Husband is Lin Xun…

Then with Lin Xun’s true Realm…”

Jiang Qingshang watched her husband eat the food she cooked bite by bite, and her heart couldn’t help but grow nervous.

“Husband… how do you feel?”

After dinner, Jiang Qingshang asked nervously.

“How do I feel about what?” Lin Xun asked in confusion.

“That…” Jiang Qingshang’s eyes flickered slightly. “It’s just… I tried a new way of cooking. How does Husband feel about it?”

“Oh, it’s delicious,” Lin Xun said with a smile. “No matter what you make, Qinger, it’s always so tasty.”

“I see…”

Seeing that Lin Xun showed no signs of sleepiness at all, Jiang Qingshang’s heart beat faster and faster.

“Could it be that this Fragrance-Free Powder has expired?”

“Could it be that I took the wrong medicine?”

“Or was the dosage I gave incorrect?”

Gradually, Jiang Qingshang’s small hand gently pinched the hem of her skirt, and she looked at Lin Xun with a wavering expression.

Meanwhile, Lin Xun felt that Qinger was acting a bit strange.

How should he put it?

It was a bit like he was about to have an affair, and Qinger was constantly suspecting him?

“Brother Lin, Yaya is so sleepy, I want to go to sleep.”

After finishing her meal, Yaya climbed onto Lin Xun’s lap, lying down like a useless fox, and soon fell into a dreamland.

“It must be the fatigue from the journey; this little girl is too tired.” Lin Xun smiled and pinched Yaya’s little ears, suspecting nothing. “I’ll carry Yaya back to her room first.”

“Mm.”

Jiang Qingshang nodded.

“I’ll go wash the dishes and then boil some water for Husband’s bath.”

“Um…” Just as Jiang Qingshang was about to return to the kitchen with the dishes, Lin Xun called out to her.

“Husband?”

“Um…” Lin Xun scratched the back of his head. “How about we bathe together later?”

Jiang Qingshang’s cheeks flushed slightly, and she nodded gently. “Mm…”

At night, after the two of them finished bathing, they returned to their room.

Lin Xun held Jiang Qingshang from behind. Feeling her husband’s embrace, Jiang Qingshang’s thoughts wandered a bit.

At this point, Jiang Qingshang could no longer deceive herself.

Although she was very reluctant to believe it, her husband’s Realm was at least the Golden Core Realm.

And it wasn’t just the Golden Core.

Her husband had hidden his cultivation, and even she couldn’t detect it, so his Realm certainly wouldn’t be lower than hers.

Plus, her husband’s bone age was almost identical to the legendary Lin Xun’s.

Even if Jiang Qingshang didn’t want to admit it…

But her own husband was Lin Xun.

Involuntarily, Jiang Qingshang’s mood became increasingly complex, and her thoughts drifted back to several years ago, when she first met her husband.

That day, her husband lay outside the courtyard, covered in blood and on the verge of death.

If one calculated the time based on the City Lord of Tianji City’s deductions…

Actually, the period when she met her husband was exactly when Lin Xun failed in Undergoing Tribulation.

“Lin Xun failed his tribulation, lost all his cultivation, and was covered in wounds.”

Jiang Qingshang murmured in her heart.

Silently, the young woman bit her lip.

Why hadn’t she noticed?

Everything matched up.

Her husband had appeared at exactly that time.

Add to that the night of the Demon Sword, when Lin Xun happened to appear in Luo City. The supposedly bloodthirsty Lin Xun had saved the entire Luo City!

Bai Luoxue came looking for Lin Xun and ended up living right in front of her courtyard.

In fact, Bai Luoxue had found Lin Xun long ago.

Her husband and Bai Luoxue even had a connection long ago!

And then she heard that Lin Xun had appeared in Tianji City again, and her husband just happened to be in Tianji City as well.

All of this…

If her husband wasn’t Lin Xun, then who was?

No! Wait!

Wang Xing liked Lin Xun, and Lin Xun had once been engaged to Wang Xing.

That meant…

The one Wang Xing liked was actually her husband?

And her own husband had once been engaged to Wang Xing?

For a moment, Jiang Qingshang’s heart was in a mess.

How could this be?

Wang Xing couldn’t stop thinking about Lin Xun, and what kind of feelings did her own damn Big Pig Trotter have for Wang Xing?

And it wasn’t just Wang Xing.

There was also Ruo Wangchen of the Bodhi Holy Land.

Back in the Heiwu Secret Realm, her husband’s affection for Ruo Wangchen was from the heart, definitely not fake!

And!

And Sister Nongqin!

No wonder Sister Nongqin moved next door to their courtyard.

Sister Nongqin must have known that her husband was Lin Xun long ago!

Not to mention Su Ying from the Ten Thousand Demon Sect.

She had once kissed her husband right in front of her!

“So frustrating! So frustrating!”

Thinking of this, Jiang Qingshang’s chest heaved violently.

Finally, Master and Lin Xun were irreconcilable, practically mortal enemies.

Yet, she had married her Master’s mortal enemy.

If Master found out that the person she married was the legendary Lin Xun, what would happen then?

Moreover, in the Heiwu Secret Realm and the Rootless Secret Realm, she had twice wanted to eliminate him.

Thinking about it now, Jiang Qingshang felt extremely terrified.

If she had actually succeeded back then and “executed” Lin Xun…

Wouldn’t she have become a widow?

“Aaaah, it’s all that person’s fault! Why did that person have to tell me the truth! I didn’t want to know the truth!”

“Why didn’t Husband tell me sooner? If you were Lin Xun, would I have hated you?”

“Or was her Big Pig Trotter of a husband worried about the distinction between righteous and demonic?”

“But the one I like is you. What does the so-called distinction between righteous and demonic have to do with me?”

“Liar, liar, liar!!! Idiot, idiot, idiot!!!”

The more Jiang Qingshang thought about it, the more confused and angry she became.

So angry that the young woman turned around in Lin Xun’s embrace and bit him on the neck.

“Hiss—”

He was just about to fall asleep while holding his fragrant and warm wife, but Lin Xun was suddenly bitten awake.

“Qinger, what’s wrong?”

“Hold me!”

“Huh?”

“Hold me!”

“Oh.”

“Hold me tighter!”

“Even tighter!”

“Idiot.”
