Chapter 371 The Temptation of the Wife
"I don't understand!"
"So? That's it?" Huali flipped the book to the last page with a "whoosh," and said in disbelief, "I did such a great deed, and you just end it like this?"
Shrimp Bro snatched his book away, "I was forced to do that!"
"I am a shrimp with such a rich cultural background. My original ending should have been: 'The rain in early autumn ninety-two years ago spoke of separation and uncertainty. But the rain in late spring now proclaims rebirth and reunion.'"
Shrimp Brother and Xizi held their hearts and said with deep emotion, "When the new green shoots of spring break through the scorched earth, countless springs are awakening on the ruins."
"In the distance, old friends stood in the rain, looked at each other and smiled; their late spring had just begun."
Shrimp Bro turned around with dead fish eyes, "This is the end, leaving readers with endless imagination. Isn't that profound and beautiful?"
Seeing Shrimp Bro's increasingly ferocious expression, Huali cautiously asked, "Then why don't you write it? You could at least add some highlights at the end to embellish it..."
"It's not that I don't want to write, it's that I'm afraid to write!! It's all that damned Luo Chuan's fault!" Shrimp Bro went crazy on the spot!
"He somehow found out my pen name and not only demanded that I give him a highlight moment in the ending, but he also threatened me that the ending must show the two of you together!"
"Although this shameless bastard promised to print an additional 300,000 copies as soon as the manuscript is finished, but!" Brother Shrimp cried, "Do you think I dare to write it? I'm asking you, who dares to write this ending?!"
Huali shrank her neck, "No, I wouldn't dare."
Let alone writing about it, she still can't bear to recall the famous scene from two months ago.
The feeling of being caught cheating on your wife with a vixen... it's hard to describe.
When Luo Chuan asked her, "Do you understand?" she truly did not understand.
If you want to confess your feelings, just confess. Why use such flowery and literary language?
However, Luo Chuan truly lived up to his reputation as a master of action; she didn't understand, but he managed to make her understand through kissing!
The good thing is that the "romantic bacteria" of rosewood, which had returned to its pre-liberation state, have come back.
The downside was that they returned too late, while the other four had already attacked from various places!
At that time, Huali was still confused and didn't know exactly what had happened, but anyway, the five of them started fighting.
"I knew it," Shrimp Bro nodded. "I was even saying I'd trip up the others, but you showed up first, not giving me a chance at all. Did you go and try to break up the fight?"
"No." Huali shook her head.
It's impossible for her to mediate a fight, because she has more important things to do.
Shrimp Bro: "What's more exciting than several big shots fighting over you?"
"Money." Huali said without hesitation, "Since I'm still alive, no one can inherit my property."
Shrimp Bro: "...So?"
So on the day he survived the ordeal, King Li ignored all the fighting among the concubines in the harem and instead took advantage of Chief Eunuch Ao's lightning-fast journey to Linfeng County to start a fight.
They dug from morning till night, collecting spirit stones, Qiankun bags, and all sorts of treasures. They counted them three times to make sure not a single one was missing before they could finally relax.
Shrimp Bro: "...And then?"
Huali sighed, "Don't even mention it."
Then she turned around and was horrified to find that five people had chased after her at some point, and they had stopped fighting and were looking at her with different expressions.
"His expression was like a weasel eyeing a rooster; it was really creepy."
Shrimp Bro's legs were getting a little numb from squatting. "So you just ran away?"
"No, not at all. It's been a long time since we've seen them, and I miss them quite a bit." Huali stood up as well. "But the situation at the time was really difficult to control, so I figured that now that the money was in place, I should still use the trick of pretending to be unconscious."
"Huh? You're faking it?" Shrimp Bro exclaimed in surprise. "But when I went to see you, you were snoring."
Karin: "...You didn't write this part, did you?"
Shrimp Bro shook his head, "I don't dare to write it. After that shameless demon king confessed his love, I haven't dared to write anything else."
"My creative freedom has been taken away by these damned ruthless people."
Shrimp Bro's face grew increasingly flushed as he spoke, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "If I find out who snitched, I'll definitely..."
"Huali!!!" From afar, Xiaota ran over and, without saying a word, stuffed a huge pile of gems into Huali's hands. "I've struck gold again! These are all for you."
It blinked its big eyes and said, "When Huali's big house is built, remember to save the spot next to you for me."
Huali immediately grinned from ear to ear, "Look! Look! It's still our little Ta who knows how to repay his parents now that the child is grown up."
She waved her hand dismissively, "Don't worry, Xiaota, I've bought this entire mountain now. You can have as many rooms as you want!"
Little Tower cheered, "Oh my gosh~ I love rosewood the most!"
Huali touched the top of the tower and turned to look down the mountain.
This place was chosen by her after careful consideration.
Located east of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect, west of the Holy Capital Demon Realm, south of Canglan Prefecture, and north of Sunset City, it's completely enclosed, giving me a great sense of security.
The all-knowing Steward Ao said, "You are now a qualified master of impartiality, but what about Niohuru Little Bird?"
"Nonsense." Huali suspiciously avoided Meow Meow King's gaze, stubbornly trying to save face: "I chose this place because it's safe, and the price is reasonable and fair."
Seeing that Ao Bai was about to speak, Hua Li immediately covered his mouth and said earnestly, "Bai, there aren't many fools these days. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
A single sentence convinced Ao Bai; the merchant was indeed a fool, and they really made a profit from this.
Hehehe.
Shrimp Bro, who witnessed the entire transaction: "......"
If he hadn't witnessed the five fighting each other, and hadn't been forced to compromise and buy the place ahead of time before Huali made the final decision, he would have truly believed that there were fools in the world.
An entire sacred mountain, fifty top-grade spirit stones, hehe.
Huali gazed at the bustling construction site not far away, feeling immense pride.
What's Sunset City or Holy Capital Demon Realm? There's no place like home.
Now that she has money and power, she doesn't need to rely on anyone. Her first priority is to make herself bigger and stronger.
Seeing Huali looking at the blueprints in her hand, Xiaota curiously leaned closer and asked, "Huali, what's this? Why isn't it covered up?"
"This is called a floor-to-ceiling window. The surrounding scenery is so beautiful, of course we should make use of it. When it's finished, we'll inlay it with transparent glass, so the sunlight can shine directly in, making the room bright and airy, and you can also see the scenery outside."
Little Ta exclaimed in approval, "Wow! Does that mean rosewood will cost a lot, a lot more money?"
The money wasn't actually that much.
After she became famous, many people rushed to befriend her, offering both money and effort.
Look at these young men, how capable and handsome they are!
Most importantly, it's all free, no money required, hehehe.
Seeing that Huali was looking in their direction, the young man from Tiangongfang who was carving wood immediately waved enthusiastically at her. Huali returned a big smile and gave him a thumbs up.
The young man's face instantly turned red. But Huali didn't see these details at all; she was only thinking about teaching her child not to guide him to get something for nothing.
Then Karin said seriously, "Yes, so we..."
"It's okay, Huali, I have money!" Xiaota interrupted her, puffing out her chest. "I saw Brother Xia secretly writing last time... boohoo..."
Shrimp Bro suddenly turned around.
Huali stepped forward and covered Xiaota's mouth, "Alright, quiet, quiet, Stoop!"
Little Tower struggled: "...Luo Chuan gave me so many gems. I earned them all through my own efforts."
Looking into Xiaota's big, pleading eyes, and feeling the chilling wind behind her, Huali had no choice but to give an awkward laugh: "...Good job, just don't do it again next time."
Shrimp Bro grinned maliciously: "I knew Luo Chuan wouldn't know, turns out it was you, you little rascal..."
"Luo Chuan!!" Before Brother Xia could finish speaking, the little spy, sensing he had found a powerful backer, suddenly waved his hand.
This trick worked so well that both Huali and Xia Ge were startled.
After the last "Do you understand?", Huali continued to interact normally with Luochuan, but this fox spirit was completely different from before.
If you ask me what's different... well... it's just that... it's a bit too much for this young, spirited virgin to handle.
Just as Huali had mentally prepared herself and turned around, she immediately bumped into a pair of smiling, heterochromatic eyes that shimmered with tiny lights.
Luo Chuan, dressed in a crimson robe, was leaning against a tree trunk not far away, and it was unclear how long he had been there.
However, none of this is the most important thing!
Most importantly! He has maintained that half-demon form for the past two months!
—His silver hair was loose and languid, with a pair of fluffy fox ears standing on his head, and even the nine tails behind him had been merged into a fluffy, soft, snow-white giant tail.
At this moment, the tip of its tail was lightly tapping the air, carrying a nonchalant allure.
Huali took a deep breath.
We're telling you! Silver hair, fox ears, and a fluffy big tail—who could resist that?!
Ao Bai skillfully fanned the flames: "If you can't resist your wife's temptations, just go for it."
Seeing Huali looking over, Luo Chuan's playful smile didn't fade; instead, he wagged his tail even more leisurely and asked knowingly, "Why is little Huali looking at me like that?"
The Demon King lazily drawled, "I've already said, the fox tail is yours, the demon core is yours, everything on my body belongs to you."
"Want to touch it, little rosewood?"
The thousand-year-old fox spirit unleashed her power, and the novice was no match for her. King Pear, as if possessed by King Zhou, twitched his fingertips and uncontrollably raised his hand—
"cough......!"
A muffled cough came from behind.
Huali turned her head.
Yan Xi stood "weakly" not far away, his face slightly pale, his deep blue eyes filled with tears, looking as if he could collapse at any moment.
“My little benefactor…” The beautiful mermaid lowered her raven-feather-like eyelashes, her tone fragile and innocent: “The power of the Words has been greatly depleted. Seven or eight treatments are simply not enough to completely cure it. Could you… could you come to my room again tonight to help me heal?”
