Chapter 75 I'm Not Stupid

Psychological baggage? Him?!

Xiao Yu suddenly felt a lump in his chest.

——No, Master Xu, you got it wrong, right?

——Shouldn’t you feel like you’ve been flirted with in this situation, and then be unable to get over it, and have a psychological burden?

——Shouldn’t you be crying and angry at me, and still expect me to be responsible for you?

Xiao Yu had spent the whole morning imagining the scene of him telling her the truth, coaxing her, apologizing, swearing, and promising to be responsible for her.

Even the words and tone of voice have been thought out.

Now, it seems that in her opinion, he is the one she can't let go of?!

Xiao Yu claimed that she disliked those ladies from noble families who would cry and complain about being molested if a man looked at them for a few more times. She also had no feelings for those chaste and heroic women who valued their innocence more than their lives, thinking that they were too narrow-minded.

But this was the first time he had seen Xu Chuchu act like this, and he...didn't even frown.

When Xiao Yu thought about the danger she would face in the future and other men treating her like this, he felt so jealous that he almost wanted to tie her to his belt and never leave her side.

He really wanted to ask, "If it was someone else, would you not care?", but he felt that the implication was too obvious and he couldn't bring himself to ask.

Finally, she was angry and annoyed, and her mind suddenly tightened and she said, "Then don't let your future husband know about this, he will mind."

At this time, Xu Chuchu was already looking at the puppet frames scattered on the ground with great interest, and laughed out loud after hearing what Xiao Yu said.

"Of course I can't let him know. I'm not stupid."

Xiao Yu: “…”

In fact, it would be a lie to say that Xu Chuchu didn't mind at all. No woman would like to be touched for no reason in her sleep.

But she is a clear-headed person.

What happened has already happened, it cannot be undone, and it is impossible to let her touch it back, making both sides even.

She knew that Xiao Yu was trying to help her detoxify and save her life, not to take advantage of her, so she didn't think there was anything to be fussy about and even thanked him for saving her life.

Continuing to dwell on this matter will only make both parties embarrassed.

"You defeated so many puppets by yourself! How impressive!" Xu Chuchu sighed as he picked up a puppet that had been chopped into pieces by a sickle. "What about Master Sanshan? Did he run away in disgrace?"

Xiao Yu was still depressed and was not moved by this flattery at all. He said in a muffled voice: "No, I took advantage of the chaos to cut his lips and tongue, and the puppet couldn't move."

He briefly recounted what happened after Xu Chuchu fell into a coma. It was clearly a thrilling "killing with sister in arms" scene where he fought one against many and outsmarted the enemy general, but he made it sound as dull and boring as advanced mathematics.

Fortunately, Xu Chuchu had a strong ability to imagine scenes in his mind, and he praised him after hearing it, but he did not express any regret for Sanshan Zhenren's escape.

It seemed as if it was natural that he couldn't catch Sanshan Zhenren.

This reaction made Xiao Yu feel a little uncomfortable. He felt that he was capable of bringing the old Taoist priest to justice, but the incident happened suddenly and he had more important concerns, so he had to give up.

Last night, Sanshan Zhenren kept calling him an "ordinary person" and said something like "the government should not interfere in the affairs of fortune tellers". He was not convinced at first, but now he found that Xu Chuchu seemed to have the same attitude.

"You don't seem to care about him running away." Xiao Yu said, "A fortune teller who breaks the law should be punished just like any ordinary person."

"You're right." Xu Chuchu nodded, "But I'm telling you the truth, please don't mind. With Sanshan Zhenren's ability, ordinary prisons and guards can't do anything to him. Unless you go beyond the law and kill him, he can escape at any time if he wants."

Xiao Yu pursed her lips and said nothing.

Xu Chuchu was different from Sanshan Zhenren. Her words and demeanor did not reveal any of her nobility as a fortune teller or her contempt for ordinary people, but she objectively and clearly showed that fortune tellers were superior to ordinary people and could even escape legal sanctions.

"So are we going to let a criminal like this go unpunished?" He couldn't help but complain.

Xu Chuchu smiled and said, "Of course not."

"A physiognomist's abilities are acquired through practice, but they are also given by Heaven," she said to Xiao Yu. "If a physiognomist abuses his abilities and harms others, he will surely suffer Heaven's punishment."

"God's punishment?" To Xiao Yu, this statement was obviously too vague.

In his opinion, the so-called "good is rewarded with good, and evil is punished with evil" is just a beautiful fantasy created by people in order to promote kindness.

How many kind-hearted people live in poverty all their lives, while how many criminals live a life of drunkenness and debauchery until their old age.

Good deeds will be rewarded and evil deeds will be punished, but that's just talk.

However, Xu Chuchu explained seriously, "For physiognomists, there are. For example, this time, because of you and me, Sanshan Zhenren lost his home and lost most of his cultivation. His future life and death is uncertain. This is God's punishment for him."

——And if there was no punishment, I wouldn’t appear in front of you, eating snacks and watching TV series in the air-conditioned room.

Xu Chuchu paused, but still didn't add the sentence.

"Okay." Xiao Yu was obviously not convinced, but he still smiled helplessly and passed it over lightly.

"Don't be discouraged, believe me." Xu Chuchu patted his shoulder, "Look at all the treasures in this room, they all belong to us. It's enough to make him angry to death."

"Treasure?" Xiao Yu didn't study the things left by Sanshan Zhenren very much. At first glance, they were just some bottles, jars and scrap metal, but seeing Xu Chuchu looking through them seriously, he became interested.

Xu Chuchu sniffed a few porcelain bottles and asked Xiao Yu, "Can you find me a big sack?"

"sack?"

"Let's go shopping!" Xu Chuchu said happily, "This Sanshan Master may not have a good character, but he's really good at refining medicine and making mechanical devices. These poisons and medicines are all top-grade. Let's keep them for future use."

Xiao Yu was not interested in these weird things, but the word "we" sounded pleasant to him.

He went outside to look for a sack, and just as he reached the door, he suddenly heard a few muffled thuds coming from the wooden cabinet beside him.

"What is that!" He immediately put his folding fan against the wooden cabinet door for precaution. After listening carefully for a while, he found that something was knocking on the cabinet door from inside, and there seemed to be a whimpering sound of struggle.

The cabinet was locked and couldn't be opened from the inside.

"It might be some other monster raised by Sanshan Zhenren." Xu Chuchu also rushed over and took out a wooden dagger that he had found from somewhere.

The two men exchanged glances, each holding a weapon, smashing the iron locks and preparing to attack—

A young man tied up unexpectedly rolled out from inside!

A living person?

It turns out there were more than just the two of them in this room from the beginning!

Xiao Yu immediately pressed the fan against the young man's throat and said, "Tell me the truth about your identity!"
