Chapter 108: Then Give It to Me

“Husband? Who is that woman?”

Jiang Qingshang approached Lin Xun step by step, holding a kitchen knife, her eyes vacant and devoid of light.

“Woman? Which woman?” In the courtyard, Lin Xun retreated step by step, feeling completely unwell. “Qinger, put down the kitchen knife first…”

“Which woman? You tell me, Husband.”

Jiang Qingshang looked to the side.

Lin Xun followed Jiang Qingshang’s gaze. Nong Qin was holding a child. The Little boy’s brow and nose were extremely similar to Lin Xun’s, especially those eyes—at a glance, anyone could tell he was Lin Xun’s biological son!

“Husband, we had a boy.” Holding the infant in her arms, Jiang Nongqin looked at Lin Xun tenderly, her eyes filled with the radiance of motherhood.

“Does Husband have anything else to say?”

“I… I…”

“A Secondary Wife is one thing, but Husband, you won’t even let a Buddhist woman go?”

“Huh?”

Just as Jiang Qingshang finished speaking, Lin Xun felt someone gently tugging at him from behind.

Turning his head, he saw Wang Chen’s clear, transparent eyes.

Those pure and stainless eyes were blinking at him, as if they wanted to see through his heart and understand all his thoughts.

It was as if no matter whether Lin Xun’s thoughts were good or evil, Wang Chen would accept them all and fall hopelessly in love with him!

“Lin Xun… I… I can also give birth to a child for you…”

Lowering her head, Wang Chen said softly, her cheeks flushed a cute red.

“Xiao Xun.”

At this moment, Xia Xiaomeng looped a rope around Lin Xun’s neck, then draped her fair, lotus-root-like arm over his shoulder from the side.

“Xiao Xun, I’ve come to take you back to the palace. From now on, you will be the Emperor and I will be the Empress, and we will be together forever. However, there can be no others in the harem, okay? We’ll have a bunch of children.”

“Lin Xun, it’s fine. Come with me. As long as you come with me, I don’t mind how many Secondary Wives or concubines you take.”

The next moment, Lin Xun felt a soft presence embracing him from the front, and a seductive fragrance wafted toward his nose.

That bone-eroding, heart-piercing charm made Lin Xun unable to resist hugging the girl in front of him, as if he never wanted to let go! He was willing to sink into it forever!

“Lin Xun?” Jiang Qingshang approached step by step as if she were broken. “Isn’t Husband Lin Pei? Why do they call you Lin Xun? Husband, just how many things have you hidden from me?”

“Qinger, listen to my explanation, I—”

“Don’t worry, Husband. After you’re gone, Qinger will follow. We will be buried together under that rock. Husband, we will be together even in death. No one will ever be able to snatch you away from me.”

“Qinger! Wait—”

Jiang Qingshang raised the kitchen knife.

“Qinger! Wait!”

“Qinger!!!”

*Crash.*

In the room, Lin Xun sat up in bed with a start, sweat already drenching his back.

Lin Xun’s heart was racing like an Emperor Engine. It wasn’t just like a deer thumping; it was like Leroy Jenkins crashing through his heart, constantly shouting “Pig Rush!”

“Thank goodness. It was a dream. Just a dream. None of it was real.”

Looking at the familiar surroundings in the room and feeling the morning sunlight, Lin Xun took a deep breath to calm his racing heart.

“Brother Lin?”

Yaya, who had rolled from his chest onto his lap, poked her little head out from under the covers, her small fox ears twitching.

“Did Brother Lin have a nightmare?” Yaya stood dizzily in Lin Xun’s arms, stood on tiptoe, and reached out her short hand to touch Lin Xun’s forehead (perhaps she originally intended to pat his head). “Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid. Nightmare fly, fly away, whoosh whoosh, it’s gone~~~~”

“Thank you, Yaya.” Lin Xun, who was almost overwhelmed by her cuteness first thing in the morning, smiled and rubbed Yaya’s head. “I feel much better.”

“Mm-hmm.” Yaya nodded her little head and rubbed her sleepy eyes with her small hands, her fluffy tail wagging under the covers. “Every time Yaya has a nightmare, Sister says this incantation. It really is useful.”

“That’s right, cuteness is always the most healing.” Lin Xun held Yaya. “It’s still early. Why don’t you sleep a little longer, Yaya?”

“Mm-hmm.” Tucking herself back in, Yaya stepped on Lin Xun’s chest like a kitten and curled up there to fall back into dreamland.

However, as Lin Xun lay on his back looking at the ceiling, he found he couldn’t fall back asleep.

Even though it was just a dream, Lin Xun felt very unsettled.

Especially that feeling of a cold neck; he couldn’t help but touch his neck to make sure his head was still attached.

“I am single-minded toward Qinger! I am single-minded toward Qinger! I am single-minded toward Qinger!”

Closing his eyes, Lin Xun began to chant silently to adjust his mindset.

After chanting it a hundred times in his heart, Lin Xun opened his eyes and looked at the large rock directly facing the window.

Only then was Lin Xun’s restless heart suppressed a lot, but the sense of dread for the future still remained.

But no matter what, Lin Xun had decided! The matters regarding Sister Mimi, Wang Chen, and Bai Luoxue must absolutely never be known by Qinger, and neither could the fact that he was Lin Xun!

“As long as Qinger doesn’t agree to let me take a Secondary Wife, I, Lin Xun, won’t marry one even if I die! That’s right!” Lin Xun reaffirmed his Dao Heart once more. “The wife is supreme!”

Taking another deep breath, Lin Xun’s state of mind slowly returned to normal.

Half an hour later, the alarm clock Lin Xun had made started to go off. Lin Xun reached out and slapped it, and the alarm immediately went quiet.

Waking up in the morning, Lin Xun performed his daily routine of brushing Yaya’s teeth, washing her face, and combing her hair.

Since the fact that he was Lin Xun had already been exposed, there was no longer any need to hide Yaya.

Miss Bai would at most think Yaya was a Little Fox Demon; it was impossible for her to see through the Sealed Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox Bloodline in Yaya.

Miss Bai watched as Lin Xun placed Yaya on his lap to wash her up and braid her hair.

The Little Fox Demon named Yaya curled up and snuggled into Lin Xun’s arms, lazily lingering there, unwilling to leave.

Miss Bai found it somewhat unbelievable.

In the Nine Provinces, whether they were Mortals or Cultivators, they rarely associated with demons.

In fact, the first thought a Cultivator had upon seeing a demon was to slay it and eliminate evil for the people, regardless of whether the demon was good or bad.

Actually, in the beginning, all the races in the world had joined forces to resist the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon Clan.

But after the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon Clan disappeared, the Yao Race once launched a Demon Calamity.

In the end, the Human Race won and drove the Yao Race away.

After winning the Great War between Humans and Demons, the Human Race had an extremely poor impression of the Yao Race.

Furthermore, when the Yao Race first transformed, their wild nature remained. Herbivores were fine, but carnivores would inevitably eat humans.

Consequently, Cultivators killed demons, demons took revenge, Cultivators took revenge again, and the relationship between the two grew worse and worse.

To this day, except for the so-called Mountain-Protecting Divine Beasts protecting Sects, humans and demons would basically start fighting as soon as they met in the wild.

Yet now, this Little Fox Demon actually trusted Lin Xun so much, her whole body clinging to him, her little head constantly rubbing against his chest.

And Lin Xun was also extremely doting toward this Little Fox Demon. Whether it was washing or braiding, his movements were incredibly gentle, and his eyes were full of affection.

It was as if this fox demon were Lin Xun’s own younger sister.

Could demons and humans reach such a harmonious state?

This Lin Xun was so strange.

Especially that night.

Back then, when they were in the mandarin duck cauldron, her heart of passion had already been stirred. Moreover, the mandarin duck cauldron could reverse Yin and Yang at that time. He not only could have had her but could have also taken the opportunity to control her mind.

But he didn’t do that. On the contrary, he actually pushed her away.

Was it because he already had a wife?

But Master had said that men always look at the pot while eating from the bowl.

Master couldn’t be wrong.

Then why was this?

As for Lin Xun, he didn’t pay attention to Miss Bai’s gaze. He was still thinking about whether to take Yaya along or ask this Miss Bai to help look after her.

However, that thought only flashed by for a moment.

It was impossible for him to let Bai Luoxue help look after Yaya.

Although Lin Xun felt that this Miss Bai was different, he hadn’t reached the level of trusting her that much yet.

Besides, if the Saintess of the Huanxi Sect looked after Yaya, given the influence, what if Yaya was led astray?

Furthermore, Bai Luoxue had reached Inedia, but Yaya hadn’t. This expressionless girl couldn’t even take care of herself, so how could she raise Yaya?

“Yaya.” Lin Xun pinched Yaya’s little nose.

“Brother Lin, ah-woo~~~”

Leaning on Lin Xun’s shoulder, Yaya, who had finally woken up, opened her bleary eyes and gripped Lin Xun’s collar with her small hands.

“Yaya, Brother Lin has to go out for a while. Do you want to come with Brother Lin?”

Lin Xun pinched Yaya’s ears again.

“Eh?” Yaya’s eyes lit up. “Does that mean Yaya doesn’t have to attend classes?”

“Not for now.” Lin Xun smiled and rubbed her little head. “However, when we get back, you’ll need to make up the lessons.”

“Ah…” Yaya, who was originally happy, suddenly felt downcast, but soon enough, her mood brightened again.

Anyway, making up lessons was for later; at least she didn’t have to attend classes now~

“Mm, Yaya wants to go out with Brother Lin.”

Thinking about not having classes and being able to go out and play with Brother Lin, Yaya narrowed her small eyes happily, her snow-white tail swishing in Lin Xun’s arms.

“All right then. Yaya, go pack up. Bring everything you need.”

“Mm-hmm.”

Yaya jumped down from Lin Xun’s lap and ran back to her room with her short legs, happily packing her little luggage as if she were going on an outing.

“This mandarin duck cauldron is for Miss Bai.”

When only Lin Xun and Bai Luoxue were left in the courtyard, Lin Xun threw the mandarin duck cauldron he had looted last night to Bai Luoxue. As for the other treasures, Lin Xun kept them all for himself.

At this moment, the mandarin duck cauldron was about the size of a figurine and could be held in the palm of one’s hand.

“This cauldron is a half-immortal weapon. You’re just giving it to me like this?” Bai Luoxue asked.

“This cauldron is useful to you, but to me, it’s just a tool. Besides, I was able to loot them last night thanks to you drawing them out. The other things belong to me, and this cauldron belongs to you.”

Looking at the clearly defined black and white mandarin duck cauldron in her palm, Bai Luoxue was silent for a moment before shaking her head:

“It’s not an equal exchange. You saved me last night. But this mandarin duck cauldron is indeed useful to me; it will give me a better chance to control you. I’ll accept it. I owe you something. What do you want?”

“I want you to let me go.”

“Impossible,” the girl replied instantly.

“…”

Lin Xun’s brow twitched slightly. “Miss Bai, your Master told you to control me based on the premise that I am extremely weak. Although my current strength is indeed a ‘tiny’ bit away from its Peak.

But even so, you won’t have any chance. Did your Master ever tell you that you’re stubborn?”

Bai Luoxue tilted her head:

“Master only said that it’s fortunate I have severed my emotions and desires. Otherwise, with my innate Bewitching Bone, I would not only be toyed with by scumbags and sink into it uncontrollably, but I would also be snatched around like an object.

Because if any man sees me once and cannot have me, he will die of lovesickness.

Only after leaving the Huanxi Sect did I realize Master was absolutely right. Aside from women, any man who has seen my true face has died.”

“…Is it really that mysterious? I’ve seen Jiang Qingshang before; isn’t she just a bit prettier? My Qinger is still the best.”

“If you want to see, I will take it off and show you.”

As she spoke, the girl’s fair, slender hand reached toward her delicate ear to remove her veil.

“Wait, I was just joking. Miss, you’d better not show me.” Lin Xun quickly stopped her.

Previously, when she was suppressing her Bewitching Bone, Lin Xun had only touched her finger and felt the bone-eroding charm. If she took off her veil, it would be too dangerous.

Although Lin Xun felt his heart was as firm as a rock and indestructible, and there was that large rock in the courtyard suppressing his stray thoughts.

But it was better to be safe than sorry. It was best not to court death.

If he could avoid testing it, he would. That dream from last night was still reminding him not to court death.

Lin Xun: “As for the mandarin duck cauldron, just give me one of your favorite Magic Treasures in exchange. That will do.”

“Okay.” Bai Luoxue nodded. “Then wait a moment.”

As she spoke, Bai Luoxue was about to untie her waist sash.

“Wait! What are you doing?” Lin Xun quickly stopped her.

In broad daylight, this girl was actually acting like a hooligan. Although they were in his courtyard and no one else was around—

Bai Luoxue blinked. “Taking the treasure.”

“What kind of treasure are you taking? How scandalous!”

“If it’s you, it’s fine.”

“I mind! If you’re going to take it, go to the kitchen, and remember to close the door!”

“Oh.” Bai Luoxue responded and, without saying more, walked into the kitchen and closed the door.

Lin Xun really didn’t know what she was going to take. Was her Storage Pouch sewn into her undergarments?

While Lin Xun was wondering, Bai Luoxue walked out of the kitchen.

“Got it?”

“I got it.” Bai Luoxue nodded.

“Then give it to me.” Lin Xun reached out his hand.

“Okay.” The girl took out the treasure.

Soon, a silk-like sensation reached Lin Xun’s palm.

“This is my favorite Magic Treasure. It is impervious to water and fire, and can withstand a full-force strike from a Yupu Realm Sword Cultivator.”

Following the girl’s calm explanation, Lin Xun looked down.

In his hand was a… Bellyband embroidered with narcissus patterns???
