Yu Chen kissed Xu Nian's hand with satisfaction, but then received a light slap on the face. The slap was weak and didn't hurt at all.
"You bastard." Xu Nian's eyes still had wet tears.
"My wife, it was my fault for losing control, please don't be angry." Yu Chen grabbed Xu Nian's hand and slapped his face a few times, his attempt to appease her was all too obvious.
Xu Nian didn't buy it and turned her head to the side, preferring not to see it.
“Little fox, I’ve actually done this to you countless times in my dreams.” Yu Chen’s words made Xu Nian glare at him fiercely. She really wanted to bite this bastard to death, and preferably cut off the source of his evil.
"Go to sleep! I won't bother you anymore," Yu Chen said guiltily, hugging Xu Nian.
Without Yu Chen's control, Xu Nian transformed into a fox, a tiny ball, and even in her sleep, she felt very insecure and hugged herself tightly.
Yu Chen held the little fox in his arms, as if he were holding all his possessions, and the huge void in his heart was finally being filled little by little.
Sure enough, she was just like in his dreams, captivating and enchanting. He longed to remain forever immersed in this gentle embrace.
Xu Nian regained some strength, and the first thing she did after waking up was to jump out of Yu Chen's arms and run towards the cave entrance.
"My wife is going to abandon her husband." Yu Chen grabbed Xu Nian by the back of the neck and pulled her into his arms.
"You frivolous fake monk, don't touch me." Xu Nian used all four claws, but still couldn't defeat Yu Chen.
"Alright, alright, my wife, don't be angry. I'll take you to find your pet right now." Yu Chen's words calmed Xu Nian down.
Xu Nian fell silent, and Yu Chen became unhappy again. He said sarcastically, "Is that little fat pig so important to you that you're so preoccupied with it?"
"Don't be unreasonable, okay?" Xu Nian thought Yu Chen was a lunatic. He was so jealous of Yuan Bao's every little thing. He was so sour he was going to die.
Feeling disliked, Yu Chen secretly thought, "Maybe I should roast that little fat pig when the little fox isn't looking."
He thought the little pig looked plump and juicy, and that it would definitely sizzle and drip oil when roasted.
Xu Nian had no idea what Yu Chen was thinking; all she wanted was for him to take her to find Yuanbao.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they emerged from the cave, Yuanbao rushed up in a hurry, circling around Yu Chen.
Xu Nian transformed into human form, climbed down from Yu Chen's arms, picked up the little pig, and comforted it, telling it not to worry.
"Host, how come you're with the male lead again?" Yuanbao didn't even want to talk. How many worlds has this happened? The male lead has been taken into her host's possession again.
"Do you think I wanted this? I can't beat them in a fight, and I can't run away. What am I supposed to do?" Xu Nian's resentment was no less than Yuan Bao's.
"Host, since things have come to this, and the male lead is so infatuated with you, why don't you sacrifice yourself? Completing our mission is more important," Yuanbao suggested to Xu Nian.
"Yuanbao, do you mean I should sacrifice my looks to make him willingly deal with those troublesome demons?" Xu Nian thought about it and realized it wasn't impossible. With 100,000 points at her disposal, she could do anything.
“It’s something the host can do.” Yuanbao nodded.
"It seems that this is the only way to proceed for now." Xu Nian thought of what Yu Chen had said yesterday and knew that he had no intention of saving the world. It was impossible for him to go back to being a Buddhist disciple, but she could still ask him to capture and subdue demons.
"Host, there's a city called Daoyang ten miles to the west. A powerful demon is lurking there, hunting down civilians. You must take the male lead there quickly to subdue it." This was Yuanbao's main purpose in coming here: to urge the host to take the male lead to rescue the people.
"Okay, I know. Mark the map for me." A map appeared in front of Xu Nian's eyes. She glanced at Yu Chen, who was silently following behind her, and started walking according to the map.
Yu Chen's eyes were fixed on Yuanbao, while he was still thinking about various ways to cook suckling pig.
He still couldn't stand the little fat pig monopolizing Xu Nian, so when he couldn't roast it anymore, he found an opportunity to throw it away again.
This time, the little fox was so angry that he didn't want to bring the little fat pig back. There was no particular reason; he just thought it was an eyesore.
Yuanbao shuddered; it felt that the male lead was looking at it strangely.
Seeing that Xu Nian ignored him for most of the day and just kept her head down on her way, Yu Chen grew anxious. "Little fox, where do you want to go? I'll take you there."
"To Yangcheng." Seeing that Yu Chen had taken the initiative to ask her where she was going, Xu Nian stopped being coy.
Although Yu Chen found it strange that the little fox wanted to go to Yangcheng, he still took Xu Nian there.
Upon entering Yangcheng, Xu Nian looked at the man beside her. Seeing that he still seemed indifferent, she had no choice but to ask, "Yu Chen, have you noticed anything strange about Yangcheng?"
“Something is definitely wrong; there are evil spirits running rampant.” Although Yu Chen had given up his identity as a Buddhist disciple, the Buddhist teachings he had practiced remained, so he could naturally sense the evil spirits with keen sensitivity.
"If there are truly evil spirits running rampant, wouldn't the people in this city suffer?" Xu Nian looked at the busy mortals with heartache.
"Sigh! Little fox, did you lead me to Yangcheng to get rid of this evil spirit?" Yu Chen wasn't stupid. What a coincidence that the little fox wanted to come to Yangcheng, and that there was an evil spirit there when she arrived?
"Yu Chen, you will save them, right?" Seeing that Yu Chen had seen through her so quickly, Xu Nian stopped pretending and laid her cards on the table.
"The little foxes want me to save them, so of course I will." Yu Chen smiled gently, and at this moment he seemed to have become the Buddhist disciple of Guide Temple again.
Xu Nian's eyes lit up. She looked at Yu Chen with joy, mixed with a kind of love that Yu Chen couldn't understand.
Yu Chen didn't understand what that kind of love was, but it didn't matter. The little fox wanted him to be a good person, so he would be the good person she liked.
"Little fox, let's go get something to eat before we look for that evil spirit." Yu Chen led Xu Nian into a restaurant and ordered several different chicken dishes for her.
Xu Nian was enjoying her meal when she noticed that Yu Chen hadn't touched his chopsticks. With a mischievous grin, she picked up a few pieces of chicken and put them in his bowl. "Yu Chen, eat up! This chicken is delicious!"
"Okay." Yu Chen finished all the chicken in his bowl. Xu Nian pursed her lips when she saw him like this. Sure enough, he had always been a fake monk. He had only been away from Buddhism for a short time, and he had already broken his vow of celibacy and eaten meat.
After finishing their meal, Yu Chen led Xu Nian on a stroll around Yangcheng. He led her further and further into the remote areas until they stopped in front of a dilapidated house.
He told Xu Nian to stand outside, and then he went in by himself.
Before long, Xu Nian heard the demon's screams and pleas for mercy. Yu Chen sneered and did not let the demon go; he killed it on the spot.
After coming out, Yu Chen smiled and said to Xu Nian, "The evil spirits have been dealt with."
Xu Nian looked at Yuanbao, and Yuanbao nodded. The male protagonist had indeed defeated the evil spirit.
"Yu Chen, you're amazing." Xu Nian praised him and looked at him with admiration.
"Little fox, as long as you're happy." Yu Chen smiled helplessly and led Xu Nian away.
"Host, you're getting more and more skilled at using your beauty to seduce people." Yuanbao raised its paw and gave Xu Nian a thumbs up.
Xu Nian rolled her eyes at Yuanbao; she knew perfectly well what kind of honey trap Yuanbao was using.
Yu Chen took the bait willingly; otherwise, no matter how many schemes she devised, it would have been useless.
