Chapter 406: Humans Will Enjoy

Xu Chuchu was so surprised that she almost whistled.

She is not an ignorant bumpkin. She has been to the sky and the earth, fished in the sea, and traveled through time and space...but she has never seen such scenery.

It turns out that humans are the ones who enjoy it.

The palace maids were very happy to see that she liked it and enthusiastically introduced the structure of the villa to her.

If they hadn't pointed it out, Xu Chuchu wouldn't have discovered that there were some hidden gems.

As long as Miss Xu likes it, the Fourth Prince will certainly be happy. If the Fourth Prince is happy, then the Emperor's problem will be solved, right?

Xu Chuchu took a tour of the villa and even thought about buying it, let alone using it for marriage.

Isn't the emperor short of money? It's just right to ask Xiao Yu to buy it. I wonder if he has enough money.

If it’s not enough, ask him to sell himself.

It was decided happily.

…

In the evening, Xiao Yu and Ji Ji came back, and the family had a reunion dinner together.

Xu Chuchu sat next to her master, and Daju squeezed in on the other side of her, blocking the annoyed Xiao Yu out.

"Chu Chu Chu Chu, let me serve you some soup. It's your favorite sweet soup!" Daju enthusiastically filled a bowl for Xu Chu Chu, and the excess spilled everywhere.

The master shook his head and said, "Big Orange, cats should have the most dexterous limbs, why are you always so clumsy?"

Now that her cultivation had recovered, she easily cleaned the table with her spiritual power.

"I see Chuchu is happy!" Daju shouted.

"Chu Chu, have a piece of chicken wing." The master picked up a piece of food for her with chopsticks. "It's not easy for you to go out. We all know it."

"Yeah." Xu Chuchu nodded in response.

The sweet soup flowed onto the bowl and felt sticky to the touch.

The chicken wings are low in salt and oil and have a bland taste. You can tell they are the chef’s craftsmanship as soon as you taste them.

But Xu Chuchu ate very seriously and had never thought it was so delicious.

With their current level of cultivation, do they need to serve soup themselves? Do they need to cook dishes themselves? Or even... do they need to eat?

None are necessary.

All they need is the warmth of being together and dishes that express their love.

How long had it been since she had sat down to eat with her family without any worries or pressure? Xu Chuchu couldn't even remember the last time.

I am always worried and distressed.

Unlike now, it’s so warm.

Tears dripped down and hit the table.

"Sister!" Jiji saw it and stood up anxiously, "I'm sorry, Senior Sister, I finally came back, and my affairs have caused trouble for you again."

"No, Gigi, it's not because of you." Xu Chuchu wiped away her tears.

Xiao Yu took Daju away from the back and sat next to Xu Chuchu: "It's okay, nothing will happen again."

Then he whispered, "I'll be there for you."

Everyone present was a cultivator, and no matter how quiet the voice was, they could hear it. Xu Chuchu wiped away her tears and stomped Xiao Yu hard under the table.

But no one meant to laugh at them.

Everyone knows Xu Chuchu's personality very well.

Confident, cheerful, with a sense of justice, and willing to take risks... Such a lively girl will be pushed to the point where she never wants to experience anything again.

It is hard to imagine what they have been forced into. Perhaps the difficulties of life and death are just the most basic.

In the past, they would think that Xiao Yu had been mean to Chu Chu and were a bit repulsive to him, but now it seems that they are glad that Chu Chu has him by her side to rely on.

If she were alone, who could understand her now?

"Don't talk about me." Xu Chuchu quickly changed the subject. "How was your visit to the palace today? Are the people from the Imperial Observatory enough to fight against the demon tribe in the north?"

Jiji looked embarrassed and didn't know what to say, but Xiao Yu spoke up to help.

"It's a tough one. The other departments all look at Jiji because he's young and inexperienced, so who else can they bully if not him?" He also took a sip of the soup. "But this isn't entirely Jiji's fault. The real problem lies with the emperor."

"He doesn't understand the cultivation of us physiognomists. Seeing that Jiji is the heir of the Shen family, he expects him to make rapid progress in cultivation just by sitting in the palace, just like us. He also expects him to be like the Grand Master and manage the Imperial Observatory in a self-sufficient manner."

Xiao Yu smiled and shook his head: "That's a nice thought."

Of course, the matter is not as simple as he said. Gigi's problem is still very serious. He has made almost all the mistakes that can be made in officialdom. He needs to be taught slowly.

…

After dinner.

"Ayu." Xu Chuchu pulled Xiao Yu to a corner and asked gently, "Is this all you have to do when you enter the palace today? Doesn't the emperor have any intentions towards you?"

"You're the one who can predict everything." Xiao Yu was pushed against the wall by Xu Chuchu for the first time, his face full of anticipation. "Besides relying on me to manage the Imperial Observatory, he also wants to blackmail me for money."

After saying that, he thought for a moment and said, "Come to think of it, I haven't been in the capital for a while and haven't experienced those turmoil. I seem to have become the richest man."

"But don't worry, I won't fall for his tricks."

Xu Chuchu smiled and blinked: "...How about you win once?"

Xiao Yu:?

Only then did Xu Chuchu tell him with a smile what happened when she visited the villa today.

"That villa is truly exquisitely built," she boasted. "Why don't you ask the emperor and tell him we'll donate some silver and he'll give it to us."

"Really? You want it?" Xiao Yu was overjoyed when he saw Xu Chuchu asking him for something for the first time.

"No problem, I will go to the palace to talk to him tomorrow."

My little bit of money finally came into play and I was able to make Xu Chuchu happy!

Xu Chuchu hurriedly stopped him: "Don't worry, don't worry, it will take a while, and don't let him see your intention, lest he ask for too much."

"It's okay, just open it." Xiao Yu said.

Xu Chuchu said angrily: "Are you stupid and rich?"

Xiao Yu laughed softly, and after a while he said, "Chu Chu, I'm so happy that you're willing to spend my money."

"What's there to be happy about? Isn't it just marrying a spendthrift wife?" Xu Chuchu pouted.

Xiao Yu stroked her hair and said, "I'm glad that you're finally willing to treat me as a family member."

In fact, in the past, when Xu Chuchu and Xiao Yu were still somewhat estranged, she was reluctant to spend too much of his money, so as not to repay the favor.

But now I am going through all the ups and downs with him - his money is my money, it would be a waste if I don’t spend it!

Justified!

"Why don't you ask about our villa?" Xu Chuchu already shouted "our villa".

"Well, how is it?" Xiao Yu's eyes never left her face.

"It's beautiful!" Xu Chuchu explained enthusiastically, "I've already decided how to decorate our wedding room. I want to choose the one on the southernmost side, with a peach tree planted outside the window so I can see it as soon as I open the door. And..."

There were still some words left to say, Xiao Yu lowered his head and kissed her on the lips.
