Chapter 184: As Expected, This Woman is a Cultivator

In the early morning, sunlight spilled over the windowsill, golden sun sprites danced lightly in the room, climbing onto the bed and landing by the pillow.

Smelling the fragrance of hair beside the pillow, Lin Xun reached out and gently embraced his wife, pulling her into his arms.

“Time to get up, you need to go to the academy.”

In her husband’s embrace, the wife gently rested her forehead against his chin.

“Can’t get up, this emperor has fallen into a deep slumber and needs a kiss from his beloved consort to awaken,” Lin Xun mumbled drowsily.

Seeing her husband’s pursed lips, Jiang Qingshang’s cheeks flushed slightly as she opened her small mouth and gave his lips a light peck.

“Mwah mwah, didn’t feel a thing, not enough,” Lin Xun began shamelessly.

Jiang Qingshang shot her husband a coquettish glare, but still raised her head to kiss Lin Xun’s mouth once more.

“No good, still not enough,” Lin Xun was now completely brazen.

Jiang Qingshang pouted her small lips, parted her cherry mouth, and gave Lin Xun’s protruding, duck-like lips a gentle bite with her pearly teeth.

“Ouch ouch ouch.”

Hearing her husband’s cries, Jiang Qingshang’s eyes curved into happy crescents, filled with bliss.

Taking advantage of her husband’s slightly loosened embrace, Jiang Qingshang slipped out of Lin Xun’s arms like a little snake.

She covered her husband’s eyes with the quilt to prevent him from peeking.

The young woman changed out of her nightgown and put on her day dress.

Even after being married for over ten months, Qinger was still this shy.

But Lin Xun was not so well-behaved.

Just as Lin Xun was about to pull down the quilt covering his eyes, he felt a light flick on his forehead, forcing him to obediently stay under the covers.

“I’ll go prepare breakfast first. Husband, hurry and get up, or you’ll be late for teaching.”

Through the quilt, the wife gave her husband’s lips a light kiss. With her day dress on, her fair feet slipped into embroidered slippers, and she walked out of the room with a light, cheerful step.

Soon, the sound of Yaya’s whining drifted in from the courtyard: “Mmmm~~~ Qinger sister, let Yaya sleep for another quarter-hour~~~”

But unfortunately, Yaya’s covers were pulled off, and she was dragged out of bed by her two little feet.

Without his soft, smooth wife, there wasn’t much point in lazing in bed, so Lin Xun got up as well.

Opening the courtyard gate, he saw Yaya with her little bottom stuck out, her snow-white fluffy fox tail swaying in the air, as she clutched a toothbrush and rinsed her mouth under the peach tree in the yard.

Yaya’s big, doll-like eyes were still closed, clearly not having slept enough.

Actually, Yaya slept from nine every night until six in the morning, getting a full nine hours of sleep each day.

This amount of sleep was just right for both Fox-folk and humans. Any more, and she’d turn into a silly white fox.

Lin Xun just wondered what it felt like for the peach tree in the yard to drink Yaya’s mouthwash and face-washing water every day.

From the kitchen wafted the faint aroma of porridge—it was unmistakably egg drop porridge.

Looking at the slender, graceful figure busying herself in the kitchen, and then at Yaya, bottom in the air, eyes closed, washing up.

The life of what seemed like a family of three made Lin Xun feel a happiness so intense it felt unreal, even illusory—like a dream that could end at any moment.

A dream.

Suddenly, Lin Xun remembered the scene of his Heart Demon within the dream in the Heiwu Secret Realm.

It was fine if he didn’t think about it, but once he did, Lin Xun shuddered.

Although Lin Xun had awoken from the dream, he hadn’t truly escaped the Heart Demon; Wang Chen had pulled him out.

This meant that Lin Xun’s Heart Demon remained unbroken and still existed.

“Could my Heart Demon come true? If it does, what should I do?”

For a moment, Lin Xun fell into deep thought.

“No! I absolutely won’t let that happen!”

Lin Xun shook his head, quickly dismissing those unproductive thoughts. He would do everything in his power to prevent the Heart Demon from reappearing!

“Breakfast is ready~”

Just as Lin Xun was quietly steeling his resolve, Jiang Qingshang came out of the kitchen carrying the egg drop porridge.

Lin Xun took it from her, and Jiang Qingshang went back to fetch bowls and chopsticks. In the morning courtyard, a gentle breeze wafted, carrying the fresh scent of the egg drop porridge.

When they tasted the food made by his wife, both Lin Xun and Yaya’s eyes instantly grew moist.

Yes! This was the flavor! Completely different from ordinary takeout, this was egg drop porridge infused with love and tenderness.

That day, Yaya, who normally only ate three large bowls of porridge, downed six in one go!

Patting Yaya’s head as she buried herself in her meal, Lin Xun felt a pang of guilt. Thinking of their usual days, he realized he had truly wronged Yaya.

After breakfast, Lin Xun took Yaya to school. Jiang Qing packed some snacks and handed them to Lin Xun, as a morning of classes shouldn’t be spent hungry.

“We’re off.”

“Mm, be careful on the road.”

Jiang Qingshang watched her husband and Yaya leave, then turned to clean up the dishes.

However, at that moment, Jiang Qingshang happened to notice the line in front of the still-closed Tofu Shop across the street growing longer, with quite a few Young Masters among them.

If Jiang Qingshang wasn’t mistaken, these people weren’t there to buy tofu but to see someone.

A quarter-hour later, the Tofu Shop opened.

The price of the tofu was the same as in the regular market, yet while the usual market would take an hour to sell the same quantity, this small shop sold out in less than a quarter-hour.

During this time, a young rake tried to take advantage and touch her hand. Not only did he fail to touch her hand, but his eyes suddenly glazed over, and he turned to caress the face of a burly man behind him who actually wanted to buy tofu.

The burly man was completely stunned.

The young rake even made as if to kiss him, startling the burly man who thought he wanted to spar, causing him to throw a punch in fright. The scene suddenly descended into chaos.

“As expected, this woman is a Cultivator.”

Watching the young woman packing up her stall, Jiang Qingshang’s willow-leaf eyebrows slightly furrowed.

When she saw Bai Luoxue yesterday, although Jiang Qingshang didn’t sense any fluctuations of spiritual power around her, an intuition told her this was no ordinary person.

Having seen Bai Luoxue’s portrait, Jiang Qingshang even suspected this young woman might be Bai Luoxue.

The figure in the portrait and the light veil covering the girl’s face were just too similar.

Now, seeing her effortlessly use Illusion Magic further deepened Jiang Qingshang’s suspicion.

But if she really was Bai Luoxue…

Why would she have any connection with my husband?

And why would she be selling tofu right in front of our house?

Logically speaking, shouldn’t this Bai Luoxue be looking for Lin Xun?

Just as Bai Luoxue was packing up to close, Jiang Qingshang stepped forward.

Looking at Jiang Qingshang before her, Bai Luoxue blinked lightly.

Jiang Qingshang smiled gently. “I wonder if it’s convenient for you now? We have egg drop porridge at home. Would you like to join us for breakfast?”
