Kong Xuan was stunned, but then he thought, Jiang Yiqing has been with him for so long, what's wrong with him showing some concern?
Seeing Shu Jianyue looking at him with a half-smile, he couldn't help but ask, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"He's been with me for so long, shouldn't he at least show some concern?"
Shu Jianyue smiled and nodded, "What you said makes a lot of sense. After all, he has been with you for so long, so it's only natural for him to care."
Kong Xuan felt that there was something ambiguous in her words, but he had no evidence.
So he turned to Gong Funan and asked, "How much longer does he need to soak?"
Gong Funan counted on his fingers and said, "It needs to soak for another three hours, right?"
"Right?" What an uncertain tone.
Kong Xuan glared at him and whispered, "Try saying that again."
Gong Funan wasn't afraid of him. If it weren't for Chong Jiu being there, they would have kicked him out long ago.
"What can you do to me if I tell you?"
Shu Jianyue knew they wouldn't fight, so she went into the bamboo house to take a look.
Seeing Jiang Yiqing soaking in the dark, murky medicinal liquid, with a fire burning underneath, anyone who didn't know better would really think he was being boiled.
The bamboo house is still very new; the green color of the bamboo itself has not yet faded, and it still exudes a faint bamboo fragrance.
Thinking about this, Shu Jianyue realized that the vat of medicine did not emit any medicinal smell at all; it was just like a vat of clear water.
Shu Jianyue leaned closer to take a look, but since she couldn't smell anything, she naturally couldn't tell what kind of medicinal herbs were inside.
Gong Funan came in and saw this, and laughed, "No need to look, you can't tell."
Shu Jianyue turned to look at him and asked, "How did you do that?"
There are definitely no fewer than a hundred kinds of medicinal herbs in this tank of water, yet he can eliminate the taste of all the herbs without affecting their medicinal properties. Is this something an ordinary person can do?
Gong Funan proudly raised his head, but when he saw Chong Jiu looking at him coldly, he immediately lowered it and said, "Cough, this is a method that I tried a thousand times before I succeeded, just so I wouldn't have to keep smelling these unpleasant odors."
"You want to learn?"
Shu Jianyue nodded, "I want to."
She also dislikes the taste of some medicinal herbs.
Some medicinal herbs may smell pleasant, but when mixed with other herbs, the taste becomes quite unpleasant.
Gong Funan glanced at Chong Jiu and reluctantly agreed.
He pulled Shu Jianyue to the medicine cabinet and began to teach her how to remove the smell from the herbs without losing their medicinal properties.
Seeing this, Chongjiu didn't stay in the house any longer. He walked out of the bamboo house, looked around, found a cool spot, and took out a reclining chair to lie down.
Ever since Shu Jianyue started lying down wherever she went, he's developed the same habit, because it's really comfortable.
Kong Xuan stood guard in front of Jiang Yiqing's large vat, adding more fuel when the fire dwindled.
Shu Jianyue followed Gong Funan until late into the night before she fully understood. She breathed a sigh of relief and admired the old man in front of her.
She's studied optics for so long, while others in research and development only tried a few thousand times and got it right. What else could she be but an expert?
It would be a waste not to recruit a talent like Shu Jianyue into the Supreme God Temple, so he asked, "Lord Nangong, would you be willing to come with us to the Supreme God Temple?"
"Our Supreme Temple is much better than this place. It has beautiful scenery, is quiet, and naturally has abundant resources."
Gong Funan subconsciously wanted to see Chong Jiu's expression, but he wasn't there at the moment, so he was in a bit of a dilemma.
Seeing this, Shu Jianyue smiled and said, "You don't have to rush to agree. You can go and see for yourself before deciding. We won't force you."
"Old man, can Jiang Yiqing come out now?" Kong Xuan calculated the time; it was more than enough. If they kept cooking him any longer, he would be overcooked.
Shu Jianyue glared at him in the blink of an eye. Didn't he know how to read the atmosphere? Didn't he see that she was trying to persuade, no, to invite the big shot back to take charge?
Gong Funan coughed and said, "That's enough, take it out."
Just as Kong Xuan was about to grab Jiang Yiqing, Gong Funan remembered that he had stripped Jiang Yiqing naked.
"Hey, watch out, he's naked."
Kong Xuan's face stiffened, and he turned around to glare at Gong Funan.
Chong Jiu appeared beside Shu Jianyue in a flash and took her away.
Shu Jianyue looked at Chong Jiu with a blank expression and said, "I don't want to see it, was it necessary to bring me out?"
“Yes.” Chong Jiu sat on the recliner and placed her on his lap.
"You must be aware that you are already married, and you must be careful to avoid danger."
Shu Jianyue glanced at him sideways. "You mean I can't share a room with other men?"
"Then why didn't you have the slightest problem when I was in a room with three men just now?"
Chong Jiu's lips twitched, and he immediately bit down on her defiant mouth.
After the kiss, Chong Jiu sighed and said, "My lady, is it necessary to be so serious with your husband?"
"Heh, you're taking this seriously, so I have to take it seriously too, otherwise it would be a disservice to your petty nature." Shu Jianyue said, and then bit him in retaliation.
Chong Jiu resigned himself to letting her bite him, looking down at her and saying in a muffled voice, "Madam, my wife, I was wrong."
"Hmph, I'll spare your life." Shu Jianyue said, and seeing the red marks on his lower lip, she quickly gave him a reassuring kiss.
Chong Jiu smiled and kissed her, asking, "Do you really want Gong Funan to go to the Supreme Temple?"
Shu Jianyue immediately nodded, "Yes, he won't be returning to the Upper God Realm for the time being, and his cultivation is suppressed at the late stage of Tribulation Transcending, so he should stay in the Four Seas for a while."
"Anyway, staying here is the same as staying in the Supreme Temple. Besides, it's better to hide in the Supreme Temple, isn't it?"
“Who would have thought that a mere Divine Lord would become a retainer in a newly established sect?” Shu Jianyue said, winking at Chong Jiu.
Chong Jiu smiled and nodded, "Madam is right."
Shu Jianyue laughed and said, "Right? People will only think that he is hiding somewhere, not that he is hiding in a sect."
Gong Funan, inside the bamboo house, wasn't stupid. He knew that the couple outside were drinking and chatting. If it were just Shu Jianyue, he would definitely choose to ignore them. But now that the deity Chong Jiu was there, how could he dare to ignore them?
Kong Xuan helped Jiang Yiqing get dressed, then carried him out of the bamboo house. "Master, let's go back."
Gong Funan immediately blocked his way and said, "Hey, I didn't agree to you taking him away. I went to so much trouble to cure him, and you think you can just take him away like that?"
Shu Jianyue took out a spiritual fruit, took a bite, and said, "Then you can come to the Supreme God Temple with me. It doesn't matter whether you take it with you or not, since we'll be in the same place anyway."
Gong Funan's attention was immediately drawn to the spiritual fruit in her hand. "Where did you get that spiritual fruit?"
Shu Jianyue took out another spiritual fruit and tossed it in the air, saying, "Our Supreme Divine Palace has plenty of these kinds of spiritual fruits. Want some?"
The reason she suddenly started eating the spirit fruit was to seduce him.
"Can I take a look?" The spiritual energy on that spiritual fruit was so rich and pure, it was so attractive.
Shu Jianyue tossed one to him and laughed, "If you join the Supreme Temple, you can get at least five a month."
