Chapter 82: It's so much like the substitute literature in the storybook

Sheng Ran came out of Wangchun Teahouse with five male beasts in a mighty manner, not paying attention to the movement behind him.

After traveling for so long, she finally gathered everyone together, but she actually felt it was a bit crowded.

The system goes online with a "ding dong" sound, a kind reminder.

[One more thing missing, host. Don't forget Zhulong, who is eagerly waiting for your return at the end of the chapter~]

Sheng Ran nodded weakly, "I understand..."

She didn't think it was a good deal to exchange Zhulong for Huaijun.

Maybe he is even more difficult to deal with than Huai Jun. Sheng Ran collapsed just thinking about it.

It’s already troublesome to support five or six beastly husbands, so how can Lai Jie, who has more than a dozen in her backyard, handle the relationships between them?

Maybe he can't even recognize all the names.

Pursing her lips with a complicated expression, Sheng Ran withdrew her gaze and went back to the inn to rest.

After arriving in Beining, Sheng Ran has been working non-stop for several days to sell braised food, make sake, and take back the heart-protecting scales.

I really don't have time to think about anything else.

She wanted to take a nap and have a good rest first.

However, as soon as she entered the room, the five people behind her squeezed in one after another.

"My dear wife, you don't have to worry about us."

"Yes, just go and rest. We won't disturb you."

"Master, I will be watching you as usual, without making any noise."

Sheng Ran: “…”

Five tall, powerful beasts stood beside her bed. Could their presence be reduced just like that? How could she sleep?

Sheng Ran couldn't understand it. She was worried about her safety at night and suggested taking turns to stay by her side.

Why are they here during the day, and there are five of them!

Sheng Ran glanced at everyone's face strangely, and no one seemed to want to leave.

Besides, it’s okay for the other people to just make trouble, but why does Huaijun have to join in the fun?

She sighed helplessly and made a "1" gesture.

Just one is enough.

Ling Rui learned his lesson and began to seize the initiative. "Last time, I was drunk and didn't take good care of my wife. Of course, I should make it up to her."

"You're incompetent and can't seize opportunities, yet you still have the nerve to talk about compensation?" Raven sneered coldly, "When I'm with my master, she always sleeps soundly."

Although Tu Shanyi arrived late, he couldn't resist his arguing and grabbing, "A short separation is better than a new marriage. I just reunited with my wife, so of course I am the one who will watch over her sleep."

Huaijun, who always had a low sense of presence, actually spoke up: "First come, first served. I haven't had a turn yet."

Several people stared at him in unison, the contempt in their eyes was self-evident.

Huai Jun pretended not to see it and just tightened the heart-protecting scales between his palms. The sharp stinging sensation made him addicted. When he thought that this was what Sheng Ran had found for him, he suddenly felt that he didn't want anything else.

In front of everyone, he spoke word by word, "I have never remarried, and she is my only wife."

"As long as I am by her side, of course I have the obligation to take care of her."

Ling Rui immediately became furious: "Have you ever heard that belated affection is worth less than grass! Why are you acting like a lovesick person now?"

Huai Jun remained calm: "Isn't it the same for everyone?"

"Who dares to say that they have been wholeheartedly good to her from the beginning to the end?" He even looked directly into Pei Xiaoxing's eyes, "Even you."

"Pei Xiaoxing, I don't believe you haven't thought about killing her."

While they were arguing, Pei Xiaoxing had already considerately tidied Sheng Ran's bedding.

Then he found a stove and lit a fire.

Just after he finished all this, Huai Jun suddenly brought it up, and he frowned in displeasure.

"I advise you not to compare these things." Pei Xiaoxing said in a serious tone, "Don't forget, Zhu Jiuyin fits everything you said. He and his wife don't have such a heavy past."

"What's the point of fighting fiercely at home? There are so many people outside who covet my wife. Do you dare to guarantee that you can beat them?"

Hearing an unfamiliar name during the conversation, Tu Shanyi instinctively asked, "Who is Zhu Jiuyin?"

"To replace Huaijun, or to replace you." Raven always spoke without mercy, he said bluntly, "But I still think you are more dangerous."

"He also has red hair, and he possesses both space and fire abilities."

Tu Shanyi cursed in his heart, this plot is a bit like the substitute literature in the vernacular novels!

Tu Shanyi asked cautiously, "What kind of orc is he?"

"The bloodline of the ancient mythical beast, Zhulong."

I originally thought that my clan identity as a nine-tailed fox would give me an advantage, but I didn’t expect that the other party would be a dragon?

——But dragons are all very ugly!

"What about appearance?" In Tu Shanyi's eyes, there is no male beast in the world more handsome than him, and he doesn't believe that he can't win in this regard.

Raven was unexpectedly silent for a few seconds, and there was a hint of confusion in his eyes when he looked at Tu Shanyi.

"You want me to tell the truth?" Raven paused symbolically, then quickly added, "They're all ugly, ugly as a hundred flowers blooming."

"One is stupid, the other is slutty."

"You--!" Tu Shanyi suppressed his voice. A wise man would not suffer a loss in front of him, so he decided not to quarrel with this short-sighted bird for the time being.

"Hmph, anyway, I'm back and have won my wife's heart. It's only a matter of time."

Pei Xiaoxing sneered, "Indeed, I haven't seen a fox as cunning as you in a long time. You lie without hesitation."

The play that Tu Shanyi performed today was extremely absurd. Among all the people present, only Sheng Ran really believed it, while the others more or less found loopholes in it.

But they didn't choose to expose it.

Pei Xiaoxing warned in a cold tone, "You are playing with my wife's sincerity like this, and it will only backfire in the end."

"Be careful, you will never be able to gain her trust again in this life."

The moment the deception was successful, Tu Shanyi had a vague sense of foreboding.

He knew that this was a wrong start and he shouldn't have foolishly chosen this path to return to Sheng Ran.

Being exposed so bluntly by Pei Xiaoxing, Tu Shanyi became furious and was about to explode when Ling Rui slapped him in the face.

——Why does this lion always hit people in the face first?

He was so angry that he dared not make a sound after hearing Ling Rui's words.

"Shh, don't make any noise, my wife is already asleep!"

In the fierce verbal battle just now, the five male beasts were so engrossed in the argument that they almost forgot themselves.

But unexpectedly, Sheng Ran still fell asleep in such a noisy atmosphere.

The light of the oil lamp was dimmed very much, and the evening glow fell on Sheng Ran's face, like a layer of gauze covering it.

She curled up on her side in bed, with a quilt loosely draped over her body. Perhaps she was very tired, her lips, which were usually pursed, were now slightly open, and she was breathing evenly. The loose hair on her temples stuck to her cheeks, causing her eyelashes to tremble slightly.

His brow bones were relaxed, without the frown he had during the daytime planning, and the corners of his eyes drooped naturally, like willow leaves covered with dew.

His fingertips were still loosely clutching a purse, as if he was about to count the money, but he couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep first.

Her breathing was very light, with only the occasional faint sound rolling through her throat. Her chest moved slightly with the rise and fall of her body, so peaceful that one couldn't bear to disturb her.

Now, the male beasts looked at each other and all left the room.

It seems that the wife is really tired.

They'd better be obedient and just guard the door.

Everyone did not get along, but they all still cared about Sheng Ran. Seeing that she had fallen asleep, no one spoke loudly anymore.

The atmosphere became peaceful after a long time. Huai Jun suddenly remembered the doubts that had been weighing on his heart for days, and called Pei Xiaoxing aside.

"I seem to have awakened the mind-reading ability you mentioned earlier."

Pei Xiaoxing couldn't help but frown when he heard this.

Huaijun has already dissolved his engagement with his wife, so how can he still hear her thoughts?

Tu Shanyi, who had followed over to eavesdrop, couldn't help but interrupt: "What kind of mind-reading ability is that?"

Could it be that they can read the wife's mind?
