Chapter 122 122 In front of her "boyfriend" and another man...

Help! Can someone tell her why the boss is so clingy?!

Su Xiaoyuan wished she could take back what she had said.

It would be better for her to stay here alone than to let him go back with her.

Su Xiaoyuan felt numb at the thought of taking her new love back to see her boyfriend.

"I...my place is a mess and the house is small. I'm worried that you won't be able to get used to it..." She hurriedly made an excuse.

"It's a mess?" Ling Yue Immortal Master frowned. "Doesn't he have puppets to take care of his daily life? He wasn't this lazy when he was with me. Is he taking advantage of your kindness?"

Su Xiaoyuan was afraid that he would blame the puppet, so she quickly defended herself, "No, no, he's very responsible and hardworking. It's not that messy..."

"That's good," the man said. "Puppets have no intelligence, so they should treat all their masters equally."

Hearing him say this, Su Xiaoyuan felt a little blocked in her heart. She had never regarded Fu Tingyun as an ordinary puppet, but she could not refute what Ling Yuexianzun said.

She couldn't help but wonder, if it was someone else who bought him back, would he treat him the same way?

Just as he was thinking about it, Immortal Master Ling Yue had already quickly ordered the puppet to prepare a change of clothes and toiletries.

When Su Xiaoyuan came to her senses, everything was ready, even the car was waiting outside.

No matter how reluctant Su Xiaoyuan was, she had no choice but to get in the car.

In order to avoid being seen, he specially asked the puppet to prepare a single-person cloud car. The two of them squeezed into the narrow car, legs touching legs, shoulders side by side, and their breathing sounds were close at hand.

Even if they had done something more private not long ago, even if they had already gotten engaged, they were still not familiar with each other. The sudden intimacy between two men and women who were not familiar with each other in daily situations was even more uncomfortable.

However, Su Xiaoyuan seemed to be the only one who felt uncomfortable. As soon as the man got in the car, he naturally stretched out his arms and put her in his arms, and played with her fingers happily.

After a lot of effort, the cloud car stopped outside the courtyard gate. Ling Yue Xianzun finally let go of her hand, got out of the car first, and then stretched out his hand to her.

Su Xiaoyuan had no choice but to give him her hand and let him hold her waist as she got out of the car.

The man took her hand in a very natural manner, interlocked their fingers, and even shook it: "Open the door."

Su Xiaoyuan reluctantly drew the door-opening talisman and pushed open the wooden door.

The moment the door opened, a white shadow rushed towards them. It was Fu Erdai.

Among the spiritual pets, the snow wolf is the most conscientious. Fu Dimo ​​is probably flying out to soak in the spiritual spring at this time. Fu Shenxing is heartless and may not even notice her missing until tomorrow morning. Fu's IQ is negative, so he can't be relied on.

The snow wolf howled, rubbed Su Xiaoyuan's hand with its big furry head, and shook its tail like an electric fan.

"You must be so anxious because you can't find your mother?" Su Xiaoyuan touched its head to comfort it.

"Northern Snow Wolf?" Ling Yue Immortal Venerable asked with interest, "How old is this one? Can it transform?"

"I did it once a few months ago."

Su Xiaoyuan scratched the snow wolf's ears: "Are you hungry? Did Fu Tingyun feed you?"

Before he finished speaking, the sound of the door curtain rustling was heard from the east wing study. Soon, a tall black figure appeared in the field of vision.

Su Xiaoyuan subconsciously tried to break free from Ling Yuexianzun's hand, but he held it even tighter instead.

He even took her hand, brought it to his lips and kissed her knuckles.

Su Xiaoyuan recalled that she was still enjoying Sister Xiao's gossip, but she didn't expect that the situation would change and she herself would enjoy the blessing of having many wives.

The puppet's body shape and steps were somewhat stiff, and its inorganic black pupils seemed dimmer than usual.

Su Xiaoyuan felt embarrassed and guilty, and called out softly, "Fu Tingyun."

The puppet's face was expressionless, showing no emotion at all. He greeted her as usual, seemingly not noticing her lateness. "Xiao Yuan is back."

Although her sense of guilt was somewhat alleviated, Su Xiaoyuan couldn't help feeling disappointed.

"Has Xiaoyuan had dinner?" the puppet asked again.

Su Xiaoyuan was about to say that she had already eaten, but Ling Yuexianzun said first, "Prepare the meal."

The puppet responded "yes" obediently, as if Immortal Ling Yue was still his master.

Su Xiaoyuan felt an inexplicable sourness in her heart, she didn't know whether it was because of the puppet's sadness or because of her master's jealousy of his ex.

Ling Yue Immortal Venerable looked at her and blinked, as if he also realized belatedly that something was wrong: "I'm sorry, I'm used to telling him what to do, and for a moment I forgot that he is now Xiao Yuan's puppet and shouldn't be controlled at will."

Su Xiaoyuan was a little unhappy at first, but he had already apologized, so she couldn't hold on to it. She shook her head and said, "It's okay."

At this moment, the snow wolf became agitated for some reason. It first ran two steps towards the puppet man, then jumped in front of Ling Yue Xian Zun and barked twice. It repeated this twice and suddenly raised its front paws to pounce on Ling Yue Xian Zun.

Su Xiaoyuan quickly grabbed the leather ring around its neck and said, "Second Generation isn't usually like this. He might be a little excited to see a stranger."

"It's okay," Ling Yue Immortal Venerable said, "You'll recognize it after seeing it a few times."

Su Xiaoyuan: “…” Why do you want to come and stay here so often?

The snow wolf's reaction was indeed a bit strange. You could say that it was shy, but it didn't act as ferocious as it did when it first saw the puppet man. Instead, it wagged its tail at the man, its icy blue eyes full of confusion.

Su Xiaoyuan was so tired that she was out of breath and was about to lose control of the dog. She had to half-drag and half-pull it back to her dog house and tie the leash.

Immortal Ling Yue scooped clean water from the water tank under the corridor for her to wash her hands.

The two entered the main room. The puppet was still busy in the kitchen. Su Xiaoyuan also wanted to minimize the contact between her new and old love as much as possible, so she found tea leaves, a tea stove, and a tea kettle from the cabinet and prepared to make tea.

Ling Yue Immortal Venerable took the tool from her hand: "I'll do it."

Su Xiaoyuan: "How can that be possible? Senior Brother is a guest."

The man raised his eyelids: "Xiao Yuan still treats me as a guest?"

Su Xiaoyuan: "...I'm sorry, I'm not used to it yet."

The man pursed his lips and smiled faintly: "It's human nature."

As he spoke, he lowered his head and began to skillfully pick out spiritual charcoal of suitable size and color from the bamboo basket, draw talismans to start the fire, and then picked out water that matched the tea from a row of small water jars, scooped it into the teapot, boiled the water and brewed the tea. His movements were as smooth and flowing as swordplay and pleasing to the eye.

Su Xiaoyuan sat beside him, staring at his focused profile illuminated by the firelight, her heart beating wildly.

The man suddenly raised his eyelids and met her eyes.

Su Xiaoyuan was caught red-handed and quickly looked away, saying in a panic, "Brother, are you hungry? I'll go to the kitchen and get some cakes."

Ling Yuexianzun put down the lid of the teapot in his hand, grabbed her wrist and pulled her back.

Su Xiaoyuan lost her balance and fell into his arms which had been prepared for her.

Before she could come to her senses, the man lowered his head and kissed her.

This kiss was delicate and lingering, without much desire, as if he just wanted to get close but didn't know how, so he could only do it this way.

Although sudden storms are intoxicating, such delicate and lingering feelings are even more addictive.

Su Xiaoyuan was slightly puzzled. When they were close, all the unfamiliarity and barriers between them seemed to disappear in an instant. Their bodies became so coordinated without much adaptation, and even their heartbeats seemed to be tuned to the same frequency.

The water in the teapot began to boil slightly, tiny bubbles appeared, and gradually boiled over.

Su Xiaoyuan gasped, "The water, the water is boiling..."

"Don't worry about it," the man said.

His blood seemed to boil along with the tea, his lips and tongue penetrated deeper, and his hands climbed up unconsciously and held her neck.

At this moment, Su Xiaoyuan vaguely heard footsteps coming from far away outside the half-rolled door curtain.

Her heart instantly jumped to her throat, and she opened her hazy eyes: "Someone, someone is coming..."

"Don't be afraid, it's just a puppet." Ling Yue Immortal said.

What I’m afraid of is the puppet!

Su Xiaoyuan couldn't let Fu Tingyun see this. This was the only thought in her mind. She subconsciously pushed Ling Yuexianzun's chest hard: "No, no... Fu Tingyun..."

The hand that was originally loosely holding her neck suddenly tightened. Although it did not strangle her airway, it made her already uncomfortable breathing even more difficult.

Su Xiaoyuan had already caught a glimpse of the familiar figure from the corner of her eye, but the man held her tighter, slowly kissing her lips and the corners of her mouth, gently biting and licking her ears: "Are you calling me or that puppet?"

Su Xiaoyuan suddenly understood that he did it on purpose...

She had never been good at hiding her emotions, and he must have seen that her feelings for the puppet were not normal.

If she was that close to the puppet, would he have guessed it?

No, definitely not...

Su Xiaoyuan comforted herself, thinking that if he knew, he would definitely not be so calm. He didn't show any special emotions when he saw the puppet.

Don't scare yourself first.

Before I knew it, the puppet's footsteps were approaching and then stopped outside the door.

They were now only separated by a curtain, which was half rolled up. As long as the puppet looked down, he could see the two people entangled on the ground.

She couldn't resist and couldn't let Immortal Master Ling Yue find out. Although they were engaged, she hadn't figured out his temper yet, nor did she know where his bottom line was. She didn't know if he would burn the puppet in a rage after knowing the truth.

The elders had long taught us that jealousy in men is very scary.

Su Xiaoyuan tried hard to force herself to relax.

But doing this with another man in front of my "boyfriend"...it's so shameful, so shameful.

She was so embarrassed that her whole body was burning hot, her fingertips curled up, and she could only shrink into the man's arms as much as possible, deceiving herself and hoping that the puppet would not see her.

Fortunately, the water in the teapot had boiled dry at this time, making a cracking sound.

Immortal Ling Yue let her go, turned around, extinguished the spiritual fire in the tea stove, and poured a spoonful of cold water into the dry teapot.

The tea kettle made a hissing sound and a puff of smoke came out.

Ling Yue Immortal Venerable helped her straighten her loose collar, tucked the hair stuck to the corner of her mouth behind her ear, and rubbed her swollen lips with his fingertips before saying to the outside of the curtain, "Serve the meal."

The puppet said "yes" and walked in with a tray.

Su Xiaoyuan took a quick glance and saw that the puppet had a calm expression and was setting the table as usual, as if he hadn't seen what had just happened and didn't notice anything unusual about her.

After the meal was served, Ling Yue Immortal Venerable said to the puppet, "You may leave."

The puppet's expression remained unchanged, without a trace of resentment between his brows. "Master, please enjoy your meal."

He put away the tray and walked out.

Ling Yue Immortal Venerable said to Su Xiaoyuan, "I am not used to having puppets serve me at meals. Please forgive me, Xiaoyuan."

Su Xiaoyuan forced a smile: "It's okay, I'm not used to it either."

Normally, the puppet would sit opposite her and eat with her.

Now this position is occupied by Immortal Master Ling Yue.

But she couldn't say anything because they would soon become Taoist companions, and it was only natural for him to sit there.

The puppet set out two sets of bowls and chopsticks, and the food was enough for two people.

As usual, Immortal Master Ling Yue didn't eat much. Su Xiaoyuan had consumed a lot of energy today, but she didn't have much appetite.

Somehow, her puppet seemed to have lost its soul today.

Then she realized that her idea was very strange. Puppets don't have souls, so what can she throw away?

After reluctantly eating a little, Ling Yue Immortal Venerable asked the puppet to come in and collect the dishes. He stood up and said to Su Xiaoyuan, "It's getting late. We have classes tomorrow. Let's get settled early."

The puppet said, "I'll go prepare the bath."

"No need," Ling Yue Immortal Venerable said, "I've already washed Xiao Yuan, you can go make the bed."

Su Xiaoyuan's cheeks suddenly flushed. She could not bring herself to let the puppet make the bed for her and her new lover.

"I... I can make the bed myself. You can go and rest after you finish cleaning up, Fu..."

She swallowed the remaining two words halfway through her sentence and glanced nervously at Immortal Master Ling Yue.

The man seemed to have guessed her thoughts and said magnanimously: "The name is just a code name. It's okay for you to continue calling him by this name."

After a pause, he said, "Once we have formed a bond, I will have my own special title."

Su Xiaoyuan's face got even hotter, and she hurriedly changed the subject: "I'll go help my senior prepare the guest room."

Ling Yue Immortal Venerable: "Guest room?"

Su Xiaoyuan bit her lip and lowered her head: "The guest room is a bit simple, brother, you can sleep in the main room, and I'll sleep in the guest room..."

Ling Yuexianzun said as a matter of course: "I will sleep wherever Xiao Yuan sleeps."

He paused and added, "If you don't mind."

Su Xiaoyuan: "...It's not that I mind, it's just that I sleep poorly and I'm afraid of disturbing my brother's rest."

"Are you afraid of disturbing me, Xiaoyuan, or are you afraid that I'll disturb you?" the man said bluntly, "Don't worry, I won't do anything tonight. I just want to hold you until dawn, so that the first thing Xiaoyuan sees when she wakes up is me."

Su Xiaoyuan's heart skipped a beat. This sounded strange.

Is he suspicious of something?

"Let's go back to the bedroom then."

"Okay." The man took her hand and went back to the bedroom.

Su Xiaoyuan rummaged through the drawers and found new sheets, quilt covers and pillowcases.

Ling Yue Immortal Venerable said "I'll do it" and took it. He quickly changed the bedding and made the bed. He explained, "In the past few years, I often went around to exorcise demons, and sometimes stayed in the inn of a traveler. I didn't like others to touch my bed, so I learned to make it myself."

So that's how it is. Su Xiaoyuan suddenly realized and wondered how the pampered Sword Master could be so capable of such things.

While he was making the bed, Su Xiaoyuan pretended to take off her hair bun, secretly took out the communication ring from the box, and said to Ling Yuexianzun: "I'm going to the bathroom."

She felt uneasy and had been looking for an opportunity to talk to the puppet in private, but Immortal Master Ling Yue kept staring at her, so she could only take the opportunity of going to the bathroom to send him a message.

Immortal Master Ling Yue simply said "OK", seemingly without any suspicion.

Su Xiaoyuan walked into the bathroom, closed the door tightly, and quickly sent a message to the puppet.

Soon, the puppet's voice came to my ears: "Xiao Yuan, what happened? Do you want me to come over?"

"No, no, no," Su Xiaoyuan said in a low voice, "I'm fine, please don't come over. I just want to ask you..."

The words were on the tip of her tongue, but she found it difficult to speak. Although their situation was very different from that of ordinary couples, she still felt betrayed. What was she trying to do by sending him a message now? Was she hoping to hear him say that he didn't mind, and thus alleviate her own sense of guilt?

"What does Xiaoyuan want to ask?" asked the puppet.

"Nothing..." Su Xiaoyuan said, "I just wanted to ask how your day was. I haven't had much chance to talk to you since you came back."

"I'm fine," the puppet said, "Don't worry, Xiao Yuan."

"Immortal Master Lingyue and I will soon form a bond. It's a soul bond."

"Congratulations Xiao Yuan for getting what he wanted." There was no resentment or jealousy in the puppet's voice, as if he was just congratulating his master.

Su Xiaoyuan: "I'm going to sleep, you should get some rest early too."

"Okay." said the puppet.

Su Xiaoyuan disconnected the communication, feeling empty inside.

She once again realized that the puppet was cooperating with its master diligently and acting as her boyfriend. No real person could remain indifferent when witnessing a girlfriend and her lover being intimate.

She walked towards the bedroom dejectedly.

It was clearly her who "cheated", but for some reason I felt like I had suffered a breakup.
