Chapter 114: She never doubted Zhu Jiuyin's sincerity, but there was a huge difference between a god and an ordinary person.

Birth, aging, sickness and death are the most normal things in the world and are not worth regretting.

But Zhu Jiuyin has divine blood, so even if he has been sleeping, thousands of years have passed after all.

He shouldn't have to go through that.

This is also the reason why Sheng Ran has never agreed to let him marry into her family.

She never doubted Zhu Jiuyin's sincerity, but there was a huge difference between a god and an ordinary person.

In a blink of an eye, Zhu Jiuyin had already eaten half of the box of flower cakes. His appetite was abnormal compared to that of ordinary people.

Sheng Ran asked cautiously, "Are you full?"

[…Now that you’re full, let’s go.]

It was obvious that Zhu Jiuyin had not yet enjoyed his meal to its fullest.

But when Sheng Ran asked him this, he certainly heard something wrong.

Future wife...are you dissatisfied with him eating too much?

Zhu Jiuyin suddenly felt a little aggrieved.

The other beastly husbands, especially Ling Rui, have big appetites too. Why does their future wives never urge them?

He forced a smile, "Future wife, you're full! This flower cake isn't as delicious as the food you made. I don't like it!"

Zhu Jiuyin is not very good at lying.

He had not yet learned how to disguise himself. When he lied, he dared not look at her and did not know where to put his hands.

It was like eating an unripe fruit. Sheng Ran felt sour and soft in the heart, and felt guilty.

Suddenly, his eyes turned red and he didn't know how to face Zhu Jiuyin.

She raised her hand and couldn't help but stroke his long red hair. This dragon was so pitiful.

It would be great if he was an ordinary person from the beginning.

Sheng Ran doesn't have to think about these problems anymore.

Maybe under some impulse, she would nod and agree to marry him.

Sheng Ran tried to find a way to compensate him elsewhere, and took Zhu Jiuyin to a silver jewelry shop and a weapons workshop, saying that she wanted to pick out a gift for him.

Sheng Ran brought him a lot of things, but Zhu Jiuyin just shook his head at everything he saw.

"Future wife, I don't like it."

He seriously criticized their shortcomings, "This style is too exaggerated, it doesn't match my temperament!"

"It's inferior stuff. I knew it wasn't worth anything the moment I touched it!"

"I never use such a blunt knife!"

…

Sheng Ran listened with half belief and half doubt, only to find that the faces of the shop owners standing next to them were darker than each other.

Later, Zhu Jiuyin was even unwilling to step into these shops. "You don't have to buy anything for me. I don't need these."

"Let's go pick out your things, shall we? Everyone says you haven't bought new clothes in ages!"

Sheng Ran was in no mood to buy clothes at the moment.

[You don’t like this, and you don’t like that?]

[How come I didn’t realize before that you are so picky?]

Zhu Jiuyin finally forced a relaxed smile, and rubbed his furry head affectionately against Sheng Ran's neck.

Still the usual straight ball——

"I don't like anything except you!"

Is Zhu Jiuyin acting like a spoiled brat?

How could he do that!

Sheng Ran felt a burning sensation from her cheeks to her ears, and she couldn't help but turn her face away.

...What is this dragon saying!

Still on the street.

The atmosphere between the two finally eased a lot. Sheng Ran took a deep breath, as if she had temporarily put aside those heavy problems.

Forget it, there's really nothing we can do about him.

She smiled brightly again and walked towards the direction of her memory, holding Zhu Jiuyin's hand.

Since you don't want to buy anything, just get down to business.

The two of them quickly stopped in front of Wangchun Teahouse. Sheng Ran stopped smiling and looked at Zhu Jiuyin seriously, wanting to explain to him.

Unexpectedly, he took the initiative to say, "Are you going to look for Tu Shanyi?"

Sheng Ran was surprised. How did he know Tu Shanyi?

Although Zhu Jiuyin had never come to Beining City with Sheng Ran, he had been shamelessly asking other beast husbands about their experiences during this period.

Of course I know there is such a person.

He even heard that this fox was dissolute, had a charming appearance, and was born with a seductive look. In just one day, he had bewitched his wife.

I asked several beastly husbands and they all described him this way. It seems that this person is indeed a big threat.

Out of selfish motives, Zhu Jiuyin didn't want him to come back.

Not only did he run away from home for so many days, but he didn't even want to tell the truth and had to make up lies to deceive his wife.

He hadn't even officially returned yet, and he left without saying a word. What did he think of his wife?

Only Sheng Ran was soft-hearted and still thinking about him all the time, so she came to find him specially.

My future wife is really a good person.

Zhu Jiuyin has already forgotten when he decided on Sheng Ran. He only knows that the more he gets to know her, the more he can discover her good points.

How can it not make people excited?

The aroma of tea always wafts through the Wangchun Teahouse in Beining City. The afternoon sun shines through the wooden windows, onto the parquet floor, and reflects the figures of the tea drinkers.

Before Sheng Ran entered the door, her steps suddenly stopped.

At the table by the window, two orcs in coarse short coats were cracking peanuts and chatting, their voices quite loud—

"Hey, we didn't order this plum cake!"

The waiter smiled and said, "Oh, this is a gift! In twenty days it will be the Saint Lady's birthday, and she has ordered that special gifts be sent to all the capitals of the continent!"

"Is this true? The Holy Lady of Central City? They're giving the entire continent away. That's truly generous!"

Sheng Ran opened her eyes wide, slightly startled.

Beining was much more informed than Zhangwei and even knew about Sheng Jieyue's birthday party.

At the same time, I didn't expect that Sheng Jieyue would make such a big fuss for her birthday.

[It really wins people's hearts.]

System review.

Sheng Ran didn't respond, but just continued listening.

"The Saintess' birthday is a celebration for the whole world! Not only that, Her Majesty is so merciful that she has even pardoned the orcs in prison for minor offenses!"

Sheng Ran couldn't help but frowned when she heard this.

The orc in the gray cloth shirt couldn't help but pick up one and eat it, but he stopped after taking just one bite.

I wanted to vomit but didn't dare to, staring at the half-eaten, greasy plum cake in my hand. "Although it's free, it's too sweet and not very chewy!"

Another orc in brown clothes curled his lips and threw the peanut shells in his hand onto the plate: "Hehe, luckily I didn't eat them. They didn't look very good."

"The Saintess loves to do this kind of thing! She claims to be helping the people, but she never does anything practical."

"We talked about promoting culinary skills before, didn't we? Shang Shi Fang's owner, Zhu Bajie, went all the way to Central City, spent a fortune, and didn't learn anything remarkable!"

"Not even as good as the dumb girl from the country!"

Being brought up out of the blue, Sheng Ran listened more attentively.

The orc in the gray cloth shirt nodded. "Hey, you're right."

"Take this plum blossom cake, for example. It's not even half as good as the honey-filled fruit cake sold at Shang Shi Fang! Zhu Bajie said the recipe for this fruit cake came from the mute girl—the crust is so crispy it's falling apart, and the honey-filled fruit inside is just the right amount of sweet. I bought two boxes last time, and they were snatched up by my mistress and her baby the day I got home!"

"You said her cooking skills are so good, why doesn't she go work in Central City? I heard that the Saint's birthday party cost a lot of money to hire the organizer and the cook!"

The tea-pourer came over with a copper kettle in hand. His voice was low, but loud enough for everyone around to hear, "Didn't you see her face, which she never shows to anyone?"

"The mute girl came to the store last time and brought Master Tushan with her. I didn't recognize her at first!"

"She forgot to wear her veil that day, and I happened to see her. Her face was all wrinkled, like old tree bark."

"I heard that the Saint Female is as beautiful as a fairy. If a mute girl were to work for her, she would probably feel inferior looking at her face!"
