"Okay... I was wrong, don't be angry anymore, okay?"

The same words spoken outside the room through a wall have completely different effects than spoken inside the room while embracing someone.

Shen Yunhao could clearly feel that Ning Yuyao's tense body in his arms finally softened a little.

"At worst, you can spank your husband's bottom back..."

"..."

Just as things had calmed down, upon hearing this, Ning Yuyao immediately wriggled out of Shen Yunhao's arms, glared at him with a flushed face, and angrily returned to sit down on the edge of the bed.

Then, with his head down, he kicked his little boots back and forth, seemingly venting his dissatisfaction.

Anyway... I just won't say anything!

I'm just sulking!

Unexpectedly, Shen Yunhao almost burst out laughing when he saw this scene...

He staggered over and sat down next to Ning Yuyao, then poked the girl's round, angry cheek with a finger.

"Yao'er... can you please stop being so cute? If word gets out, even the Ice Fairy will be called a silly child..."

"..."

Hey... Whether you're angry or not, I'm just going to cause trouble!

"you!"

The girl gritted her teeth, looked around, and finding no better place to go, kicked off her boots, sat on the couch sideways, and pulled the blanket over herself.

"Yao'er needs to rest! Husband, go find that scorpion demon. She's definitely smarter than Yao'er!"

Shen Yunhao was at a loss for words, both amused and exasperated.

The jealousy was even delayed.

But what do you mean by hiding in bed?

This can no longer be considered a hint; it's practically an explicit statement, isn't it?

Since it was a clear indication, Shen Yunhao naturally wouldn't stand on ceremony. He kicked off his shoes and lay down on his side behind Ning Yuyao.

Ning Yuyao waited for a long time but didn't get a hug. She secretly glanced at the man behind her and saw Shen Yunhao looking out the window, somewhat lost in thought.

Sure enough, my senior sister was right.

Once we're in bed, I won't try to coax you anymore... anyway, it'll be the same whether I coax you or not the next day.

But then, Shen Yunhao suddenly said seriously, "Actually... today, Senior Sister Guan scolded me, saying that I was 'vulgar and despicable, with a wretched appearance,' and that I coveted the fairy of Guanghan Palace... I really wanted to shout it out right then and there: You are my lawfully wedded wife! I didn't care if they believed me or not!"

Ning Yuyao's body trembled slightly.

"Then why didn't you say anything?" Her voice was soft, carrying a hint of barely perceptible disappointment and grievance. "Would Yao'er... embarrass you?"

In fact, Ning Yuyao never cared what others thought of her, and she cared even less about the title of "Ice Fairy".

What she cares about is whether the person behind her is willing to openly acknowledge her.

In fact, during the day, as long as Shen Yunhao called out Yao'er, she would throw herself into his arms without hesitation and openly call him husband!

Even when disguised, even when facing a group of strangers!

Unfortunately, this hope ultimately failed... which is the root of her feeling wronged.

"Silly wife..."

Shen Yunhao then turned to the side and pulled the girl into his arms through the blanket, his voice gentle, "It is the blessing I, Shen Yunhao, have accumulated over several lifetimes to be able to marry you. I wish I could keep you by my side every day and show you off, so how could I feel ashamed?"

He paused, his tone becoming firm: "I will do this sooner or later, to tell everyone that you, Ning Yuyao, are the love of my life, and no one can take you away."

"Um……"

After a long while, the girl finally responded softly.

She knew Shen Yunhao's personality; his arrogant behavior of disguising himself and harassing her today was not his usual style.

Just like herself, if it weren't for the need to pass on a message to Shen Yunhao, she would never have sat in that bamboo pavilion and let those unfamiliar cultivators come over to spar.

Actually, from Shen Yunhao's own perspective, his teasing today was indeed a bit impulsive.

He really hadn't planned to reveal his identity, because revealing it now would only make him famous throughout Tanghuo City... and even half of Zhongzhou, without any benefit!

Fortunately, Guan Yingying handled the situation well afterward, preventing him from exposing his identity while also making an example of him.

This also shows that Guan Yingying was deliberately helping to conceal Shen Yunhao's identity. If it were Ying Tangtang here... she definitely wouldn't let it go until she exposed Shen Yunhao's true colors!

With Ning Yuyao's response, this matter has finally come to an end.

only……

"And what about the scorpion? Has she been following you the whole time?"

"..."

Sure enough, her jealous nature will never change.

"Something happened at the Demonic Sect, so Shuangshuang will be staying here for a while. She has nowhere else to go, so she'll have to come with me for now..."

The Ten Thousand Poisons Sect has indeed encountered some trouble, but to say that a dignified Holy Maiden of the Demonic Sect has no place to stay on the righteous path...

That's a bit too far-fetched.

The little girl pouted, still looking a bit unhappy.

However, when it comes to dealing with jealousy, Shen Yunhao doesn't need to explain things bit by bit; the most effective method is...

"Yao'er...have you been disobedient again lately?"

"Um?"

Ning Yuyao was a little stunned by what he said. The two of them hadn't been together recently, so why was he being disobedient?

Could it be that Shen Yunhao discovered Guan Yingying's act of offering incense?

At this moment, Shen Yunhao smiled slightly and leaned close to the girl's ear.

"Yao'er... I saw your face when you opened the door!"

"ah?"

Upon hearing this, Ning Yuyao was even more bewildered.

"But normally, from that angle, I shouldn't be able to see their faces!"

The door opened, and Shen Yunhao was lying on the floor. Looking up from below, you couldn't see his face...

Thinking of this, Ning Yuyao suddenly remembered something, and her face immediately turned bright red.

"Brother Yun... Brother Yunhao, I..."

Shen Yunhao snorted softly and bit the girl's earlobe, "Yao'er...you're being naughty, aren't you? You promised not to tie her up..."

Ning Yuyao curled up, biting her lower lip, and immediately turned the tables.

"So Brother Yunhao's attention was focused on this the whole time; his apology just now wasn't sincere at all!"

Haha, I tried to change the subject, but you brought it back to me, didn't you?

Shen Yunhao raised his hand upwards, completely ignoring him, "Speak quickly! How long have you been bound?"

"Hmph... Ugh..."

The young girl wanted to be tough, but she couldn't be tough anymore. She could only shrink her head and say softly, "No... it's only been a few days. It's just to make it easier to practice swordsmanship."

"Really? Then I'll go ask Senior Sister Guan tomorrow! If you dare to lie to me, you'll be in big trouble..."

"Hmm...this is not fair...husband..."

Outside the window, the myriad lights of Tanghuo City resembled scattered stars.

Inside the window, the room was enchanting; the frost had melted away, leaving only the warmth of spring.
