Chapter 34: Sweet Scent "I want to help you."

(34)

He is angry.

Li Shanglu found it funny. Even his lip that was bitten by someone didn't seem to hurt so much anymore.

It is clearly the same person, just reincarnated in the mortal world. She even feels jealous of me. Why didn't he care about her so much before?

When she went to find Helan Jin, Shen Changyi didn't say anything to stop her, he just asked her to come back early. How could he not be jealous at that time?

"I do whatever I want to do, what's it to you?" She looked Shen Changyi up and down. He had indeed recovered his memory, and even his expression was very different. His dark and gloomy eyes stared straight at her, not shyly dodging.

Hearing her words, Shen Changyi pursed his lips, seemed to be even angrier, and his brows furrowed.

"It's none of my business."

He actually talked back. For a moment, Li Shanglu couldn't tell whether the person in this body was Shen Changyi or Zhou Xuan.

Li Shanglu forced a smile of anger before hearing him whisper, "I am not only your husband now, but also the father of your child. From now on, you must not be intimate with anyone else."

Li Shanglu: “…”

I've heard many times that a mother's status is determined by her son, but this is the first time I've heard someone think that a father's status can also be determined by his son.

"Don't think that just because we have a child now, I can't leave you for the rest of my life," Li Shanglu scoffed. "Let's not talk about whether I give birth to the child or not. It depends on my mood. Even if I do give birth to the child, it has nothing to do with you."

If he wanted to control her by relying on the child, it would be eight hundred years too early for Shen Changyi to do so with his ability.

“It does matter.”

Chen Changyi said sullenly, "It matters even if you don't admit it."

Li Shanglu narrowed his eyes and wanted to go forward and pull his ears to teach him a lesson, but Shen Changyi, as expected, picked him up by the waist and placed him on the couch.

"Chen Changyi!" She exclaimed, raising her hand and slapping the side of his face, "It's daytime now!"

Shen Changyi didn't hide and looked at her quietly, "I know, I didn't plan to do anything, you just think too much."

Li Shanglu choked for a moment and gritted his teeth.

"Get out. I'm annoyed by the sight of you."

Hearing her words, Shen Changyi froze, and his already red eyes became even redder. He stared at her without saying anything.

It's the same person, with the same appearance, body, and personality, but they just have no memory of being together.

Why wouldn’t Li Shanglu hate the other him?

Shen Changyi couldn't figure out what went wrong, or whether it was just him who was wrong in Li Shanglu's eyes.

His chest felt sore and stuffy, and he couldn't utter a word.

As soon as Li Shanglu finished speaking, he saw the bloodless face and his heart sank.

I didn't mean to say something so harsh, but I said it accidentally.

She hesitated and whispered, "I'm sorry."

After the words fell, Shen Changyi was stunned for a moment, then looked up at her in disbelief.

Li Shanglu moved his eyes away uncomfortably and tapped the bed frame with his fingertips.

"No, it's okay..." Shen Changyi stammered, "Don't worry about it."

So, it’s not that I get annoyed just by seeing him.

You're just used to scolding him, right?

The atmosphere seemed a little awkward. Shen Changyi had never thought that he would hear Li Shanglu apologize to him, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

"Get up, it's making me uncomfortable."

He came to his senses, quickly got up from her, helped the person back to health, and then half-knelt beside the couch in a proper manner.

It was clearly Li Shanglu who apologized, but the one who was at a loss was Shen Changyi.

His eyes swept over him, and Li Shanglu propped himself up and climbed up, with the tips of his ears a little red.

"Go out, I want to be alone."

Shen Changyi agreed without even thinking about it, and when he came to his senses, he was already outside Shutong Pavilion.

The young disciples passing by saluted him one after another, and he nodded woodenly, as if he had lost his soul.

Shang Lu said, I'm sorry.

Like a dream.

Is she starting to...care about his feelings?

After a while, he put his hand on his lips, his Adam's apple rolled slightly, and he finally began to savor the kiss.

Maybe, for Shang Lu, he doesn't dislike either of them.

Or maybe... it's more than just not annoying.

*

The sect master's hall tomorrow.

The clan leader looked at Shen Changyi in surprise, "Master Sword Immortal is here, is there something wrong with the demon exorcism?"

"Shanglu is pregnant."

After the words fell, the Sect Master and Xie Du looked at each other and asked in shock, "Really?"

"Master's wife is pregnant, over two months? Doesn't that mean she was already pregnant during the trial?"

"This is great! I can take care of Master Sword Immortal's wife and children. Du'er, go and prepare some supplements."

The Sect Master and Xie Du were both overjoyed. They frantically searched for things and brought back a large pile of rare and precious ginseng. "And some snacks from the Western Regions, Du'er, go get them for the Sword Immortal!"

Shen Changyi was stunned. He didn't expect that the sect leader already knew that Shang Lu was his wife. He quickly refused and said, "Elder Teng has already given a lot. We can't take more."

"Master Sword Immortal, why do you have to say such distant words? Besides, I'm giving it to Shang Lu." The sect leader looked at him with a kind smile, "By the way, there are a few parenting books in the library. I'll ask Du'er to get them for you."

They were all happy for Shanglu.

Shen Changyi unconsciously revealed a faint smile. He pursed his lips and said respectfully, "Thank you, Sect Master."

The two of them went to the library and took out a thick stack of parenting books. Xie Du held the books and couldn't help but glance at Shen Changyi from the corner of his eyes. He whispered tentatively, "Master, you're back. That's great."

Shen Changyi looked at him in confusion, then heard Xie Du lower his voice and say, "Master, you are truly majestic after becoming an immortal. That day, you actually dared to ignore Master's Wife in front of everyone. I was worried that the Immortal Lord would anger Master's Wife. If the Immortal Lord really angered Master's Wife, she might divorce you... There's a guy named Helan Jin who keeps pestering Master's Wife. You have to be careful."

Chen Changyi was silent for a moment. He had memories, so he naturally remembered that Zhou Xuan asked Shang Lu whether he wanted to divorce.

Whenever I think about it, my back is still soaked with cold sweat.

The feeling of not being able to control one's body was truly terrifying. If Shang Lu had really agreed that day...

His thoughts came to an abrupt halt. Shen Changyi didn't dare to think about it anymore and only whispered, "Don't mention this matter again."

Zhou Xuan, not familiar, has nothing to do with him.

As for Helan Jin... it's useless, he and Shang Lu already have a child.

Thinking of the child, Shen Changyi's mood suddenly brightened. He took the parenting books from Xie Du's hands and said goodbye to him gently, "You must practice well. Your master has no time to teach you these days."

Xie Du smiled and bowed, "Disciple knows. Don't worry, even if Master is not here, Disciple will never slack off. Leave the matter of exorcising the demon to me for now. Taking care of Master's wife is the top priority."

Shen Changyi nodded slightly and pushed open the door of Shutong Pavilion.

Since Li Shanglu was not there and hadn't taken Xiao Huang with him, it was impossible for her to leave the sect.

By the table, the bookshelf, and the soft couch, Shen Changyi looked around with the books in his arms but didn't see anyone. His face became increasingly ugly.

"Shanglu!"

He called out tentatively, but no one responded.

The only room left was the attic, so Shen Changyi frowned and went upstairs.

The attic door was ajar, and it was obvious that someone was inside. He breathed a sigh of relief and was about to push the door open when he heard a trembling and unbearable voice coming from inside.

"You are not allowed to come in."

His heart suddenly hung in his throat, almost jumping out, and Shen Changyi asked in panic, "What's wrong with you?"

"I'm fine, don't come in."

Li Shanglu's voice was weak, as if he was trying hard to endure something.

Could it be that some demon cultivators had sneaked into the sect? No, there was no trace of demon cultivators. His mind was in a mess. Maybe Shang Lu was kidnapped by someone and was not allowed to ask for help. They wanted to harm Shang Lu and the child after he left. Otherwise, why would they hide in the attic? This place was originally used to store miscellaneous items, and Shang Lu rarely came in.

He clenched his fingers, a layer of cold mist gradually covered his eyes, and he freed one hand and slowly drew the long sword from his waist.

With a bang, the door was split open by a sword and shattered into pieces.

Li Shanglu looked at him in astonishment, her face instantly red as blood. She gritted her teeth and said, "Didn't I tell you not to come in?"

Shen Changyi stood there in a daze, and soon realized that he had done something wrong again.

No one held her hostage.

Li Shanglu huddled in the corner of the attic, like a pitiful cat, his ears and neck blushing with shame, his chest wet for some reason, and his clothes half-open.

His Adam's apple rolled as he stared at Li Shanglu, seemingly unable to force himself to take his eyes off her.

Shen Changyi sheathed his sword and stood there hesitantly for a long while. He couldn't help but speak cautiously.

"Need... help?"

Hearing his words, Li Shanglu immediately tightened his collar and asked angrily, "What do you think?"

Shen Changyi whispered, "Need."

Li Shanglu glared at him. He really spoiled this idiot. Now he could lie with his eyes open and even dared to deliberately confuse right and wrong.

His body still felt tingling and itchy, accompanied by a slight pain. Although it was his first time experiencing this, Li Shanglu could probably guess that this was a symptom of pregnancy.

Just after Shen Changyi left, she went to pick out the supplements sent by Elder Teng and soaked them in water to drink. After drinking it, she suddenly began to feel bloated, painful and itchy.

I think that was... overdoing it.

Li Shanglu was afraid that he would come back and catch him relieving the pain and discomfort, so he hid in the attic. However, he didn't expect that this idiot would still break in.

She had been trying to relieve her anxiety for a long time without any idea of ​​how to deal with it, but she still couldn't get better. How could a man like Shen Changyi help? He just wanted to take advantage of her.

He is a gentleman, but he is actually a blatant villain!

Chen Changyi didn't know what she was thinking. He leaned over and rummaged through the pile of parenting books. After a while, he took out one of them and handed it to Li Shanglu, saying tentatively, "It says how to relieve it."

Li Shanglu patiently glanced over, and they both looked at the book with their heads touching each other.

"Shanglu, you see, we need to clear the meridians and reduce the swelling first..."

"Sesame oil and egg white for lubrication, it sounds like cooking. Is this reliable?"

"There are patterns painted on it, perhaps massage techniques."

Shen Changyi fixed his gaze on her, and with just one glance, his entire body tensed up, and his head seemed to feel dizzy.

The collar of her clothes became increasingly moist, and her long, inky hair was scattered over her shoulders, half visible and half hidden, and the air was filled with a sweet scent.

The tips of his ears were red, and he poked Li Shanglu, who was still reading intently, with his fingertips, "Can I... help you?"

Li Shanglu glanced at him and said, "No."

"Just once," Shen Changyi's eyes were filled with a trace of grievance. He clasped his hands together and bowed to her, still begging, "I want to help you."

Seeing his expression, Li Shanglu laughed again, "You're wrong, it's you who's trying to take advantage of me. No, get out of here."

What's wrong with this idiot? I've never seen him so lustful before, but today he doesn't even pretend.

Could it be that... he has special feelings for her like this?

The last word "roll" was said very clearly. After his thoughts were exposed, Shen Changyi returned to the kitchen dejectedly to help Li Shanglu get the egg white.

I can't be a gentleman.

The villain didn't succeed.

The eggshell was cracked on the stove, and the egg white slowly flowed into the porcelain bowl. Shen Changyi's mind was filled with the scene he had just seen, Shanglu's wet clothes and blushing ears, which lingered like a nightmare.

He pursed his lips and thought to himself.

It must be sweet.
