Chapter 220: Ghost King's Husband (5)
While Chen Tian and Bai Su were being affectionate with each other, on the other side, Su Chengwang's family business was also improving at a visible speed.
Although Su Chengwang had been in business for a long time, he had no talent for business and was always trying to cheat, so naturally his business could not be very good.
But recently, he seemed to have had great luck. Business was booming without any need for solicitation. He even sold a large amount of goods early this morning without any bargaining, making him a huge profit.
Seeing the old Taoist priest walking towards him not far away, Su Chengwang went up to him with a smile on his face, bowed to him and said, "Thank you, Taoist priest. Look at my business. It's getting better now."
The old Taoist's eyes flashed when he heard this. He stroked his gray beard and said in an enigmatic manner, "The man in the Bai Mansion is the Ghost King of this area. It's rare that Su Chen is someone who satisfies him, so he will naturally give you some luck in return."
At this point, the old Taoist suddenly changed the subject: "However, there are some things that we must be wary of. If Su Chen comes back to your house to look for you, or if you see him somewhere else and find anything unusual about him, you must notify me immediately. Remember, remember!"
"What? Didn't you say that once I, Su Chen, am presented with a bridal sedan and accepted by the Ghost King, then..."
As Su Chengwang spoke, he made a gesture of wiping his neck and looked at the old Taoist priest nervously.
The old Taoist shook his head upon hearing this: "Su Chen is still angry, and according to what my master said a few days ago, he has some ominous premonitions. We should be on guard early."
"The Ghost King has existed in this world for many years and is definitely a difficult character to deal with. Su Chen was able to survive in that haunted house, so he must be no simple character either.
Especially considering you sent him to the Ghost King and he suffered so much. Even if he survived, I'm afraid he would harbor resentment towards you and seek revenge."
"Then, what should I do?"
When Su Chengwang heard this, he turned pale with fear and looked at the old Taoist for help. He also quickly took out a heavy purse from his arms and stuffed it into the old Taoist's hand.
Seeing this, the old Taoist squinted his eyes, shook the purse in his hand, and said with a smile: "It's okay, don't worry. Even if I can't deal with the Ghost King, I still have my master. You just need to pay more attention to Su Chen, just in case.
And it was just my guess before. Didn't you tell me he was innocent? Maybe he wouldn't hurt you, but just wanted to escape. Anyway, if anything happens, you must tell me."
When Su Chengwang heard this, he nodded quickly and said, "I will follow the Taoist's instructions." Then he respectfully sent the old Taoist out.
The old Taoist here left after talking with Su Chengwang. Both of them believed that Chen Tian must be living in dire straits at the moment.
Su Chengwang even thought of Chen Tian living in a gloomy haunted house with a terrifying ghost king by his side. He might have had his yang energy sucked away, becoming emaciated and tortured beyond recognition.
But they don’t know that someone eats delicacies from land and sea, wears silk and satin every day, and has his lover by his side, and lives a very comfortable and carefree life.
Even immersed in the land of tenderness, I almost forgot all these scum.
As the relationship between Chen Tian and Bai Su becomes closer and closer, Chen Tian also gets to know Bai Su better in this life.
After gaining access to the original owner's memories, Chen Tian estimated that Bai Su must be a ghost who lived for hundreds of years, and who remained secluded, only sleeping. Therefore, from their conversation, it seemed that after so many years, Bai Su seemed unfamiliar with the changes in the outside world.
Although it is comfortable to stay at home, Chen Tian still likes to appreciate different scenery and understand the world with his lover.
The Ghost Festival was approaching, and there was a lantern festival going on outside to commemorate relatives. Chen Tian took the initiative to ask Bai Su to go out for a walk together. In the evening, they could also go to the night market together to enjoy the lanterns.
Going out wasn't a difficult task for Bai Su. With his level of skill, he could even walk without an umbrella during the day without worrying about getting burned by the sun. Especially since it was at night, especially during the Ghost Festival, when the yin energy was so strong, it was a day for ghosts to celebrate.
Originally, Bai Su didn't want to let Chen Tian go, but considering that his sweetheart had behaved very obediently during this period and the two of them got along very well, he had to give him some sweet rewards.
Especially since life in the Bai Mansion was so comfortable, he considered himself a good partner and there should be nothing that would make the other party feel dissatisfied.
If there is one imperfection, it might be that the other person is a human, and you are a ghost?
After all, Su Chen was alone and would definitely want to go out for a walk, so Bai Su did not refuse.
He also specifically instructed Uncle Fu to prepare a carriage, intending to go to the Lantern Festival together in the carriage.
After carefully tidying himself up, Chen Tian excitedly went out with Bai Su. When he saw the carriage parked outside the Bai Mansion, he couldn't help but twitch his lips.
Of course, Chen Tian was reluctant to say that his partner had bad taste, so he could only praise him in his heart against his will. The financial resources of the Bai family were really strong, which opened his eyes.
Unlike the low-key lover in the past world, the partner in this life seems to quite like these exaggerated styles.
This was just a small county town. Even if we went to the night market to enjoy the lanterns, it wasn't that far to walk. There was no need for a large carriage like this, with four horses, even with carved shafts and gemstones on the bit.
Little did he know that Bai Su did this to show off his financial strength to him. He thought Chen Tian would like this and follow him even more wholeheartedly.
Looking at the carriage in front of him, he was speechless. Noticing the faint expectation in Bai Su's eyes, Chen Tian smiled and said, "Bai Su, this carriage is really gorgeous. The interior is very comfortable at first glance. I like it very much!"
Hearing Chen Tian's words, Bai Su gave Uncle Fu beside him an approving look.
Sure enough, his scholar liked these things, and it was a good idea to show off his strength. Next time, should he have someone inlay Su Chen's shoes with gemstones and gold thread? Although he thought it was a bit tacky, as long as his sweetheart was happy, it was fine.
It has to be said that although the two people had completely different ideas in their minds, they had the same goal, which was to make each other happy. The atmosphere along the way was exceptionally harmonious.
The Ghost Festival night market is very lively, with all kinds of snacks and beautiful lanterns everywhere. There are also many people releasing sky lanterns and river lanterns by the river.
Even though there are so many people, it is rare to see men with such outstanding looks like Chen Tian and Bai Su.
Especially since they were walking side by side, they attracted the attention of many passersby. Unfortunately, one of the gentle and bookish men seemed to have some difficulty walking and limped.
Bai Su noticed the strange looks people gave Chen Tian, and felt a little uncomfortable. He deliberately said to him, "Su Chen, if you're tired, let's go back. We can enjoy the lanterns and visit the night market at home. I can have my people decorate the house for you. It will definitely be no worse than here. If you want, it will be even more lively than here."
Bai Su wasn't exaggerating; the Bai Mansion was already large. As the Ghost King, he commanded hundreds of ghosts. With a single command, all the ghosts around him would obey his orders, even a night parade of hundreds of ghosts would be no problem.
Chen Tian naturally knew that Bai Su was worried about him, so he smiled at him gently and took Bai Su's hand.
Regardless of the looks from the people around her, she pinched his fingertips and said with a smile, "I'm sorry to have made you worry, but don't worry, Madam, I'm fine. I don't care what others think, as long as Madam doesn't dislike me."
Although Bai Su felt a little embarrassed and annoyed at being called "Madam" again, he didn't refute it this time. His beloved's words made his heart warm, and his eyes softened.
In fact, neither of them cares about what outsiders think. Even though gay men are rare in Dongye, and in the eyes of ordinary people, this is not a glorious thing, it does not prevent them from having a good time here together.
At the end, they went to the river and released river lanterns to make wishes.
Chen Tian glanced at Bai Su beside him and smiled silently.
They had done such things in many worlds, but every time they did it, he still felt warm and romantic.
Especially at this moment, Bai Su had no memory of the past. He saw the young man opposite him slowly writing on the river lantern: If you find someone who shares your soul mate, we will be together till old age.
It's even more exciting and my heart is surging.
They are married now and seem to love each other, so aren't the words Su Chen wrote on the river lantern referring to the two of them?
Bai Su, who originally had no interest or expectation in going out, suddenly felt that agreeing to go out with Chen Tian today was the right decision.
Today is really a very pleasant day!
By the time they had finished releasing the river lanterns, it was already completely dark. The two of them then held hands and slowly walked to the carriage.
Uncle Fu, who had been waiting in the car, immediately got out and respectfully saluted the two masters. However, he didn't know that this scene was seen by someone not far away.
"Miaoxuan, look! Those two young men are so handsome!"
"Huh? Why does one of them look so much like your cousin Su Chen! Didn't you say that your cousin went back to his hometown? How come he's here?!"
Su Miaoxuan, who was choosing handkerchiefs at the stall, heard what the little sister next to her said. She subconsciously turned her head and saw Chen Tian not far away, and suddenly felt guilty.
It was Su Chen, who turned out to be her cousin. After living together for many years, Su Miaoxuan knew that she would never make a mistake.
Of course, what he said about going back to his hometown was a lie.
However, she had heard from her father that Su Chen was a disabled person and married a man to make a living. Su Miaoxuan found it difficult to speak out, so she deliberately made up a lie and said that he had returned to his hometown.
But now they met here, Su Miaoxuan felt a little uneasy, but she couldn't resist her curiosity, so she looked over secretly.
She saw her cousin, who had been down and out, now dressed in finery. Beside him was a carriage she had never seen before, and even the old servant was dressed more lavishly than the town's wealthy men.
My god, even the bit tied on the horse's mouth is inlaid with gems. What kind of financial resources does this require!
In an instant, a strong sense of jealousy surged in my heart.
Why? Su Chen is just a disabled person who is not presentable. How can he live such a luxurious and comfortable life!
The author has something to say:
Chen Tian: Because my Xiaobai loves me the most, be jealous, be jealous, you'll get used to it after being jealous for a while! (Proud)
