Chapter 5

Chapter 5:  Oh My God! What a Terrible Misunderstanding!

“Crack!”

The book slammed shut.

The room had a cooked shrimp in it.

Neither Sang Nian nor Xie Chenzhou spoke.

The surroundings were silent, you could hear a pin drop.

After a long time, just when Sang Nian was about to dig a dream castle with her feet, Xie Chenzhou slowly spoke:

“You want me to be your furnace cauldron.”

He used a declarative sentence, not an interrogative sentence, there was no question mark.

Furnace cauldron –

The object of the unspeakable XXOO in the cultivation world, the act of absorbing yang energy to replenish yin energy.

It refers to the one being absorbed.

Oh my god!

What a terrible misunderstanding!!!

Sang Nian frantically waved her hands, “I didn’t, I’m not, don’t talk nonsense!”

Xie Chenzhou: “Your book says so.”

Sang Nian: “This book isn’t mine! It’s…”

My brother, who specializes in screwing over his sister, gave it to me.

Why did he give it to me? Of course, it was to use Xie Chenzhou as a furnace cauldron, to absorb him thoroughly.

To absorb him to the fullest.

Sang Nian sadly realized that this explanation wouldn’t have any positive effect.

She could only brazenly act as if nothing had happened, and said righteously:

“This isn’t a proper book, you’re not allowed to read it anymore.”

After she finished speaking, she quickly stuffed the book into her storage bag and skillfully changed the subject:

“Let’s talk about something, I want…”

“I won’t be a furnace cauldron.”

Xie Chenzhou’s voice was stiff, with a hint of determination, “You can kill me now.”

Sang Nian gritted her teeth, “I told you I don’t mean that!”

Xie Chenzhou twitched his lips, “Then what do you want to discuss with me?”

Sang Nian tried to make her voice sound normal, “From today onwards, you’ll move to my Xianyin Pavilion.”

Xie Chenzhou: “Heh.”“…”

Hard.

My fists are hard.

Sang Nian tugged at her sleeve and then put it down, she repeated this several times, finally managing a slightly ferocious smile:

“I mean, we’re already married, but you’re still living in this kind of place, if it gets out, it will damage my reputation.”

Before he could refuse, she turned and left, her tone was firm:

“If you don’t agree, I’ll have this firewood shed demolished.”

Xie Chenzhou lowered his head and didn’t speak.

Until the footsteps disappeared from his ears, he lifted his eyelids, his gaze fell on the table.

The plate of candied fruit that had been specially brought to humiliate him was lying there quietly, its color was bright and crystal clear.

Reputation?

What reputation does Sang Yunling have left?

This excuse is clumsy and ridiculous.

She must have ulterior motives.

Xie Chenzhou picked up a green plum covered in sugar frost and hesitantly took a bite.

The sweetness of the honey and the fragrance of the plum gradually melted in his mouth, he realized that even his tongue was bitter.

The lingering taste of medicine that had been swirling in his mouth was easily dispelled, leaving only a strange, soft sweetness.

Xie Chenzhou was slightly stunned.

“What else could I be after? Of course, I’m after his body.”

In the Xianyin Pavilion, Sang Nian said this to Liu Liu.

The City Lord Sang had sent many supplies for small birds, Liu Liu was burying its head in the finest millet, it took a break and replied:

“You want to sleep with him?”

“Not really.”

Sang Nian said, “Isn’t this for the sake of the task? Besides, if I suddenly have an attack, it’s safer if he’s closer.”

“So troublesome.” Liu Liu commented.

It flapped its wings, plucked a feather and held it in its mouth to pick its teeth, “You could just sleep and solve both problems at the same time, why go through all this trouble.”

“You’re a mutated bird, you don’t understand a bubble pot.” Sang Nian pressed its head into the bowl, “Eat your food.”

Chun’er lifted the curtain and entered the room, seeing her expression, she looked understanding:

“Miss, did the young master make you angry again?”

She happily suggested, “Why don’t we listen to the City Lord and beat him up again?”

“She really grew up with the original owner.”

Sang Nian rubbed her forehead.

Xie Chenzhou wasn’t even here, how could he have offended her.

She slapped Chun’er on the head, Chun’er cried out “Ouch” and covered her head, she looked at Sang Nian with teary eyes.

Sang Nian said, “From now on, you’re not allowed to bully Xie Chenzhou.”

Chun’er: “Ah? Why?”

Sang Nian thought for a moment and gave her a reason that sounded plausible:

“He’s my husband now, if you treat him like this, how will others view your Miss?”

Chun’er pouted, “Okay.”

“Also, bring some people to clean up the room next to mine,” Sang Nian said, “Xie Chenzhou will live there from now on.”

Chun’er almost jumped up, “Why? That’s my room!”

Sang Nian: “…”

She forgot, that was Chun’er’s room.

“Then find an empty room in the Xianyin Pavilion that’s closer to the main house for him.” She emphasized, “Decorate it according to my room, it should have all the furniture, don’t just put a broken mat on the floor as a bed.”

Chun’er had an expression that wanted to roll her eyes but dared not, so she could only hold it back.

“Damn it, that Xie Chenzhou is really a fox spirit!” She ground her teeth in hatred, “He’s got you under his spell, Miss, you’re completely lost.”

Before she could finish, she got another slap on the head, she looked completely wronged.

Sang Nian’s voice rose, “Aren’t you going to do it?”

Chun’er pouted and left.

The servants in the City Lord’s mansion were very efficient, that night, Xie Chenzhou was standing in front of the Xianyin Pavilion.

All of his belongings added up to just a few old clothes, moving wasn’t a hassle.

Chun’er, who was leading the way, kept muttering and complaining.

Finally, Chun’er stopped and warned:

“You’re a lowly runaway slave, the reason you’re here today is because of our Miss.”

“Miss likes you, so you’ll just live with her peacefully, don’t have any other ideas, if you dare to disrespect Miss again— ”

“You’ll die a horrible death.”

Xie Chenzhou walked past her and pushed open the vermilion door, he stood with his back to her at the boundary between darkness and light.

“I’m not a runaway slave.”

Chun’er didn’t care:

“Whether you are or not, you’re just a thing.”

After she finished speaking, she didn’t want to stay a moment longer, she turned and left.

“Creak——”

The door closed.

Darkness spread like a tide, the room was silent.

Xie Chenzhou stood there for an unknown amount of time, finally he moved his stiff legs and lit a lamp.

The light was soft, dispelling the darkness.

He sat down at the table, looked around, his eyes were black.

The furnishings and decorations here were almost identical to Sang Nian’s room, there wasn’t a single detail that didn’t scream extravagance.

This was the cage she had chosen for him.

He was just a little bird.

【Ding~ Xie Chenzhou’s favorability -10, current favorability -123070】

“Pfft——”

Hearing the system notification, the tea Sang Nian had just taken a sip of sprayed out without a drop left.

She was full of question marks, “What the hell?”

Liu Liu was lying on the bed, eating melon seeds, it heard her and lazily waved its little paw:

“Xie Chenzhou’s favorability towards you dropped.”

“?”

Sang Nian: “No, what did I do? He suddenly dropped by -10?”

Liu Liu stroked its chin and thought for two seconds, then suddenly realized:

“I know why.”

Sang Nian: “What?”

Under Sang Nian’s nervous gaze, it slowly spoke:

“Xie Chenzhou must be— ”

“Eating too many melon seeds and got blisters in his mouth.”

Sang Nian: “.”

Sang Nian snatched the melon seeds from it, “I think you’re the one with blisters in your brain, if you dare eat anything on my bed again, I’ll pluck all your feathers.”

Liu Liu: QAQ
