Chapter 12 We Are All Adults
Xu Chuchu secretly hid the inner elixir and waited for an opportunity to absorb it and use it for his own benefit.
What she didn't know was that there was someone who was still awake and could see her every move clearly.
Xiao Yu is a person with very sharp insight.
He could hear Ah Fu's questioning of Xu Chuchu, and also noticed Xu Chuchu's little movements after everyone went to bed. He even guessed that she had some ulterior motive in accompanying them.
I'm just too lazy to care.
In fact, all his disguises and emotions collapsed the moment Xu Chuchu revealed his fate.
Also shattered was his wild fantasy of curing his mysterious illness and leading a normal life.
If possible, he would rather have his legs crippled, be blind, or even really suffer from the "impotence" that Xu Chuchu mentioned, rather than be plagued by this unspeakable disease.
His family was ashamed of him, and his classmates and "friends" comforted him on the surface, but in fact they laughed at him behind his back more than once about this matter, and even deliberately brought women to tease him.
Even his female relatives did not dare to approach him. They would just gather together and look at him from a distance with disgust and timidity.
So he left alone, packaging himself as a dissolute yet righteous playboy, traveling all over the country, doing justice and seeking out famous doctors.
He deceived others and himself at the same time, and could only find himself a little when he devoted himself to judging cases. He thought that one day he would find a solution under this disguise...but he didn't expect that he would be seen through at a glance, and even all his hopes were extinguished.
It turns out that it is not a strange disease, but his "nature".
It is because of his evil nature that he cannot be tolerated by the world...
Xiao Yu gently stroked a jade pendant and then put it back closest to his heart.
Some obsessions should be let go.
The light that illuminated him when he was at his most humble was indeed just a luxury that he could only hide in his heart.
…
The next morning, Xu Chuchu stretched comfortably and felt in a good mood.
Leaving the village, capturing the fox demon, and obtaining the inner elixir, everything went smoothly. There were some surprises, but no danger.
He even began to look at Ah Fu and his gang's annoying faces with a more pleasing look, and even took the initiative to help them cook breakfast.
Unexpectedly, Ah Fu stuffed a bowl of thick porridge into her hands and said, "Let's call it a day, Master Xu! We'll go our separate ways once we enter the city. If we meet again in the future, it's all fate."
Xu Chuchu was stunned. He relied on her to repel the fox demon last night, but today he just pulled up his pants... No, no, he turned against her today?
Seeing that she didn't react, Ah Fu snorted, "The fortune teller insisted on discovering my master's secret last night. It's our master's mercy not to kill you to silence you. If you know what's good for you, sew your mouth shut. Let's go our separate ways. If you go out and talk too much, I won't let you off."
Xu Chuchu just wanted to sew Ah Fu's mouth shut.
Yesterday, I couldn't get a solution out of her for the golden-scaled boa constrictor, and now you're going to abandon me without mercy?
"Is this your idea or your master's?" Xu Chuchu asked Ah Fu.
"Do you think I'm an overstepping follower?" Ah Fu asked back.
Xu Chuchu walked to Xiao Yu's carriage without saying a word and started knocking on it.
"Mr. Xiao, we all know each other after all, and we even saved each other's lives. There's no need to make things so awkward." She still didn't want to leave the spiritual energy jar. "We're all adults now. I can completely ignore what happened last night, and you don't have to take it too seriously."
Hmm? Does that seem ambiguous? Never mind.
Anyway, you don’t have any opinion about me. Xu Chuchu muttered quietly in her heart, but didn’t dare to say it out loud.
There was no response from the carriage.
Xu Chuchu knocked twice more: "Maybe we can become good partners in the future, what do you think?"
Seeing that there was still no movement inside, she simply lifted the car curtain.
The curtains were lifted by a breeze, and in a trance, she suddenly met a pair of dark eyes that were deep and bottomless.
Xiao Yu in the carriage was actually tying her hair. Her long, silky hair was loose and casually placed behind her head. Her facial features looked even more delicate in her laziness. The picture was like a banished immortal, making people unable to take their eyes off her.
For the first time, she felt that Xiao Yu did not seem as free and easy as she had imagined. Those frivolous corners of his mouth and his carefree and confident analysis might all be a disguise for this person.
But the next second, this guy returned to his usual annoying look, making her feel that the sadness she had just shown was an illusion caused by her being bewitched by his beauty.
"Master Xu has been using my physique to practice recently, and I believe his skills have improved a lot. He also killed the fox demon last night, so he naturally got some benefits. It may not be a bad ending for us to say goodbye now." Xiao Yu said with an expression of "everything is under my control".
He had never mentioned this before, but he mentioned it today. I'm afraid it was because he heard the fox demon say "stealing men" and "sucking yang energy" last night, and he used it on the spot.
Xu Chuchu didn't bother making excuses and admitted generously, "I am indeed using your Pure Yang Body to cultivate, but my cultivation method is righteous and will not harm your body like a demon, nor will it have any effect on you."
Xiao Yu snorted, "Even if it doesn't have any impact, why would I be such a selfless good person?"
Xu Chuchu originally wanted to debate with him for another three hundred rounds, instilling in him the idea that "those who are righteous have many supporters, while those who are unrighteous have few supporters", but then he changed his mind and thought that with Xiao Yu's pride, he should not care about such trivial matters.
He suddenly sent her away today, probably because she revealed the secret of his strange disease last night, and seeing that she was a woman, he felt embarrassed and ashamed, so he didn't want to go with her.
What a little tsundere.
Forget it, since it makes others uncomfortable, she won’t force it.
When it comes to cultivation, what matters is the heart of the Tao; a forced melon will not be sweet.
"Okay, you are beautiful, whatever you say goes." Although she felt regretful, Xu Chuchu still agreed readily.
She ignored Xiao Yu's green face and instead told Ah Fu and the others to hire a male fortune teller if they had money, so that if something like a fox demon happened again, no one would be responsible.
The two sides walked together for most of the day, and when they arrived in the city, they said goodbye and parted ways like ordinary passers-by.
In fact, to be honest, she didn't mind Xiao Yu's strange illness very much, because his symptoms were physical, not psychological.
He is not a freak who is attracted by women.
As long as they maintain proper physical distance, everyone can be good friends with him, just like they used to be able to sit next to the coffin and solve cases together.
But she also knew that this kind of thinking brought about by the 21st century would not work on ancient people.
The ancients were feudal and conservative, and were afraid to talk about sex. If they contracted any related disease, they would rather die than tell anyone about it.
With Xiao Yu in this condition, I’m afraid her future days will not be easy.
