Chapter 115 Showing Affection
"Xuanfeng! There are so many steles and so much information in the entire Nine Suburbs Hall. Are you going to wait here for him to sort it all out?" Su Yuyao shouted unhappily. "Will we even have time to play then?!"
"Su Yuyao!" Xuanfeng was still angry. He looked at Su Yuyao, who was only thinking about playing, with great confusion. "You...you didn't realize I was angry?"
"I can see that! Why don't you make me kneel down..." Su Yuyao pouted and said, "You actually got angry with me because of Yue'er, how petty!"
Xuanfeng was even more confused and angry. "Shouldn't I be angry? You were just sitting on his lap..."
“I wasn’t sitting in his lap!” Su Yuyao said righteously.
"Fine, even if you weren't sitting on his lap, didn't he touch your hand? You're a married woman, how can you be so shameless..."
"Touching hands?! When did this happen?!" Su Yuyao grew increasingly angry. "And what did I do that was indecent?! I only asked Yue'er to teach me to do that because I wanted to pour you tea! And yet you're accusing me! Slandering me!"
"I……"
"Not only are you trying to frame me, but you're also using your position to settle personal scores and make things difficult for Brother Yue'er!" Su Yuyao pointed at Xuanfeng's nose and said, "Xuanfeng! You're so petty and jealous, you're really... unworthy of being a Heavenly Emperor!" Su Yuyao used Qingyue's words of scolding her to the fullest extent!
“I…” Xuan Feng looked at Su Yuyao’s serious face and found himself unable to refute her. What the girl said seemed to make sense…
Xuanfeng recalled what had just happened, then rubbed his forehead and smiled helplessly. What's wrong with me? Am I really jealous? Me? I'm actually jealous?!
“Girl,” Xuanfeng said guiltily, holding Su Yuyao’s hand, “I’m sorry, I was wrong…”
"It's no use you admitting your mistake!" Su Yuyao pulled her hand away, turned her head to the side, and pouted, saying, "I don't intend to forgive you!"
Xuanfeng scratched his eyebrows. What should he do?
He gently picked up the wristband that had fallen to the ground, dusted it off, and said in a pleading tone, "Girl, please help me put on this wristband..."
Su Yuyao turned around and knelt down with her back to Xuanfeng. "No! Bai Er helped me put on my own clothes! Besides! You're such a grown man! Can't you even put on a wristband?! How did you take it off?!"
Xuan Feng stared at Su Yuyao's resolute back, her slender waist, her rounded buttocks, and even the toes beneath her buttocks exuded a stubborn aura. How dare this girl talk to me like that?!
"Girl, turn around!" Xuan Feng lightly flicked Su Yuyao's bottom with his wristband. "Turn around and talk properly!"
"Ah! You dare hit me?!" Su Yuyao turned around, clutching her bottom, and said angrily, "Don't forget! I have Grandpa Langzhi backing me up now! You just wronged me, slandered me, and made me kneel for no reason, I'm going to tell Grandpa! Just you wait!"
Xuan Feng couldn't suppress his impulse as he looked at Su Yuyao's adorable threatening expression.
“Girl,” Xuanfeng said, tucking the wrist guard into his waistband, “has it been too long since you’ve been slapped? Have you forgotten what a slap tastes like?”
"Huh?! You dare..." Su Yuyao's harsh words were cut short when Xuan Feng grabbed her by the back of the neck. "Ah! Let go! I'm going to tell Grandpa Langzhi!"
"Alright, after you're done getting beaten, go tell Lord Langzhi how much it hurts!" With that, Xuanfeng pressed down hard, and Su Yuyao suddenly fell forward.
She instinctively braced herself with her hands on the ground and instinctively stuck out her buttocks.
Xuanfeng looked at the buttocks sticking out in front of him, his palms already itching with excitement. He raised his hand high and slapped it down hard.
Crack! Crack! The echoes reverberated through the cave!
"Huh?" Su Yuyao was stunned for a moment, then a burning pain shot through her buttocks. "Ah—! It hurts!"
Xuanfeng gave her no chance to catch her breath, slapping her repeatedly.
Su Yuyao felt a constant, layered pain in her buttocks, so intense that she had no time to process it, no time to beg for mercy, and no time to cry out.
"Ah! It hurts!" Beads of sweat appeared on Su Yuyao's nose. "Xuan... Xuanfeng! I want to... I want to tell... Ah! Waaaaah... Stop hitting me..."
Guan Yue was extremely anxious. Lord Xuanfeng had never been so unreasonable before! Why was he in such a hurry today?!
He rushed into the side hall of the Vermilion Bird Palace, rummaging through boxes and cabinets. Fortunately, he had been careful and put all the information about Lord Qinggan's memorial tablet in a box, which finally came in handy!
"Lord Xuanfeng!" Guan Yue rushed into the cave carrying a dusty box. "This contains information on all the steles..."
"Guan Yue, you're pretty fast!" Xuan Feng leisurely tapped his teacup, and Su Yuyao, who was kneeling beside him, quickly poured tea for him.
Guan Yue secretly glanced at Su Yuyao. Although there were no tear stains on her face, her wet eyelashes, mournful face, and kneeling body clearly indicated that she had been beaten up!
“Oh, well, I kept the memorial tablet erected by Lord Qinggan in a separate box, so it’s easier to find,” Guan Yue replied, bowing slightly.
"Give me the roster!" Xuanfeng said, putting down his teacup.
"Oh." Guan Yue opened the box in a slightly flustered manner, found the roster, and respectfully handed it to Xuan Feng.
Xuanfeng glanced through it and nodded in satisfaction, "You're always the most reliable person when it comes to getting things done!"
Xuanfeng tossed the roster to Guan Yue, stood up, and patted Su Yuyao on the head. "Get up!"
Su Yuyao felt as if something was suddenly pulled out of her body and emerged from the top of her head.
She slowly stood up, supporting herself on her knees, and then she saw a ball of green energy in Xuanfeng's hand!
"Guan Yue, cultivating Qi is not easy, don't just share it with others." Xuan Feng said, handing the green Qi to Guan Yue.
Guan Yue looked at the Qi but didn't take it. "My lord! I..."
"Guan Yue, I'm asking you, did that girl touch you?"
"Um."
Do you have a rash?
"Um."
"Did Meng Yu... touch you?"
"Uh-huh……"
When he touched you...did you get a rash?
"Hmm?...It seems...there isn't one..."
Xuanfeng smiled, patted Guan Yue's chest, and returned the green Qi to Guan Yue's Qi field.
"Guan Yue! Don't get it wrong!" Xuan Feng said, looking at Guan Yue, whose rash was gradually spreading. "Take the documents to the maid's room; I'll look at them tonight!"
Guan Yue lowered his head, pondering Xuan Feng's words. "Don't get it wrong?" he thought. "What direction? Isn't it Su Yuyao?"
"Girl! Come on! Let's go play!" Xuanfeng said with a smile, taking Su Yuyao's hand.
Su Yuyao coldly shook off Xuanfeng's hand, clutching her burning buttocks, and limped out of the courtyard.
Xuanfeng awkwardly rubbed his hands together and followed.
"Girl, does it still hurt?" Xuanfeng held Su Yuyao's hand again and asked softly, "Shall I rub it for you?"
"No! Get away!" Su Yuyao pouted and struggled to break free, but she couldn't escape Xuanfeng's control no matter what she did.
Xuanfeng looked at Su Yuyao, who was still throwing a tantrum, and asked with a smile, "Since you're still not convinced, why did you admit your mistake so quickly just now? And why did you act so obediently?"
Su Yuyao glared at Xuanfeng with her wet eyes and said angrily, "That's Yue'er's cave! I tolerated you making me kneel in front of him! But you hit me regardless of the occasion and place! If I don't admit my mistake and beg for forgiveness, do you expect Yue'er to come back and watch me get beaten?!"
Looking at Su Yuyao, who was both aggrieved and angry, Xuanfeng suddenly realized that he had done something wrong. He quickly pulled Su Yuyao into his arms and said, "I'm sorry, girl, I was wrong!"
"What did I do wrong?" Su Yuyao asked, raising her face.
"I shouldn't have hit you!" Xuanfeng gently kissed Su Yuyao's full forehead.
Su Yuyao smiled slightly, then asked seriously, "Anything else?"
"And..." Xuanfeng looked at Su Yuyao and said helplessly, "I shouldn't have been jealous!"
Su Yuyao nodded in satisfaction and said, "You must remember this lesson! You are not allowed to be jealous! You are not allowed to wrong me, frame me, or punish me for no reason!"
"Alright! I will follow your teachings, girl!"
"You hit me so hard! I want to..." Su Yuyao said with a flirtatious smile, drawing circles on Xuanfeng's chest with her finger. "Think about how to punish you tonight!"
Xuanfeng laughed loudly, hugged Su Yuyao tightly, and said softly, "Alright! Then think it over carefully! I will definitely accept the punishment!"
Su Yuyao tilted her head and smiled, saying, "You said it yourself! No matter how I punish you, you're not allowed to complain!"
"I understand! I won't protest my innocence!"
"Then you're not allowed to tell on me!"
"Okay, I won't tell! Now, where do you want to go first?"
"Hmm... I've been kneeling for ages, let's go get something to eat first!"
"Alright!" Xuanfeng looked at the girl in his arms with doting eyes. How could I, a dignified Heavenly Lord, be controlled by such a chubby little girl? Before, I wouldn't hold back when I hit her, and she knew fear. Now, I even have to coax her after I've hit her? How did I become like this?
“Carry me on your back!” Su Yuyao said matter-of-factly.
Xuanfeng frowned and said, "I am the Heavenly Emperor! You expect me to carry you here?"
"So what?! Back in the Heavenly Palace, you were still the Heavenly Emperor, and you carried me on your back too!" Su Yuyao stood on tiptoe and wrapped her arms around Xuanfeng's neck. "And don't forget! You're the son-in-law our wolf clan has chosen! It's only natural that you carry me!"
Xuanfeng suddenly understood why he was being manipulated. Although this manipulation made him feel inferior, he did it willingly and even found it hard to stop.
"What's wrong?" Su Yuyao looked at Xuanfeng, who hadn't responded for a while, and suddenly felt guilty. Had she gone too far? Was that jerk angry again? She'd better stop while she was ahead! "Hehehe! I was just kidding!"
Su Yuyao wriggled out of Xuanfeng's arms and stood obediently to the side, saying, "Let's go! I want to go to Granny Bao's place to see if they have any meat buns!"
Xuanfeng looked at Su Yuyao with affection and slowly squatted down. "Get on! I'll carry you!"
"Really?! That's great!" Without any hesitation or politeness, Su Yuyao jumped happily onto Xuanfeng's back. "I knew it! You would carry me!"
You brat! I knew it! I'd fall for you...
The small steamed bun shop was unusually lively. A group of aunties were helping Grandma Bao knead the dough, prepare the filling, and wrap the buns, while a group of burly men were arguing and making a ruckus in front of the shop...
"Old woman! You came without a word! There's not a single bite to eat in the house!" a burly man yelled. "We dug through the stinking mud all night, and when we got home, we couldn't even get a hot meal!"
"That's right! Honey, it's not that I don't want you to come! But you should at least leave me some food!"
Even Bai Jinsi complained, "Tiger's mother! Why aren't you saying anything..."
"What's all the noise about?!" Granny Bao shouted while kneading the dough. "General Lei's troops are out of rations! We're making something for them to eat! Just bear with it for now! We'll make you some buns as soon as they're steamed!"
White Tiger Mother smiled and advised, "Brothers, don't worry! General Lei's troops arrived early, and some of their rations were washed away by the water, so the rest were all eaten long ago! They've been almost starving these past few days, and they haven't complained once! It was only when Lord Guan Xiao noticed they'd been busy working without eating that we found out. We can't just accept their kindness without being grateful, so we decided to get them some food!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Jinsi immediately lost her temper and rolled up her sleeves, saying, "Why didn't you say so earlier?! Damn it, hurry up and finish making it, then we'll deliver it!"
"Grandma Bao! Grandma Bao!" Su Yuyao called out, waving her hand as she rode on Xuanfeng's back, "Are there any more meat buns?"
"Oh!" Granny Bao looked at Su Yuyao and Xuanfeng carrying Su Yuyao, blinking in surprise, "Miss Yao'er?! Lord Xuanfeng?!"
Su Yuyao jumped off Xuan Feng and ran into the bustling steamed bun shop. "Why are there so many people?"
She sniffed the steaming basket that was puffing out white smoke, wondering, "Why doesn't it smell of meat?"
"Lord Xuanfeng!" Everyone quickly stood up to greet him as they saw him enter the steamed bun shop.
Grandma Bao smiled and bent down, saying, "Miss Yao'er, Lord Xuanfeng, these are wild vegetable buns for General Lei's troops. They've run out of rations and have been hungry for days!"
"What?!" Xuanfeng frowned and said, "It's only been a few days, and we're already out of food?!"
“My lord,” White Tiger Girl said, curtsying slightly, “the floods are severe, and General Lei’s troops have also been affected. Some of their food was washed away, and there’s not much left.”
“Oh,” Xuanfeng nodded and said, “Then I’ll have to trouble you!”
"So that means... all the buns are vegetable buns, no meat buns at all?" Su Yuyao sniffed around the steamer a few times, slightly disappointed.
"Miss Yao'er, when we have meat again in a few days, I'll make you meat buns, okay?" Granny Bao said as she kneaded the dough.
"Okay!" Su Yuyao asked with a smile, "Can I have wild vegetable buns today?"
"Sure! Why not?!" White Tiger Mother said with a smile. "Once these are steamed, you can have them, okay?"
"Okay!" Su Yuyao sat down gently on the stool. "Then I'll wait here and eat with my uncles and elders. After we finish eating, I'll go and bring some steamed buns to General Lei and the others!"
Xuanfeng kept smiling as he looked at his gluttonous girl. This chubby girl... how could she be so cute!
The steaming hot buns were finally ready. Su Yuyao quickly reached out to take them, but was burned and pulled her hand back.
"Ouch! It's so hot!"
Xuanfeng smiled, reached out and picked up a steamed bun, gently broke it open, blew on it, pinched off a small piece, and held it to Su Yuyao's lips.
Su Yuyao was a little surprised. She looked around embarrassedly and found that everyone else was even more embarrassed than her, all with their heads down, pretending to be busy.
“Xuanfeng…”
"It's too hot! Open your mouth!" Xuanfeng stuffed the warm bun into Su Yuyao's mouth and quickly pinched his earlobe.
"Hehehe..." Su Yuyao couldn't help but laugh at Xuanfeng's appearance.
The others covered their mouths and chuckled.
"So delicious!" Su Yuyao exclaimed while chewing on a bun. "Grandma Bao! Aunt Bai! I never thought these wild vegetable buns would be so tasty! Hey? Uncles and elders, you should all have some too!"
Several burly men, seeing Xuanfeng's affectionate behavior towards Su Yuyao, pretended not to hear and sat upright with their backs to the two of them.
"Girl! Open your mouth!" Xuanfeng handed over another steamed bun.
Su Yuyao took it with her hands and whispered, "Stop feeding him! It's so embarrassing!"
"What's so shameful about it?" White Tiger Mother brought over two bowls of congee and placed them in front of Su Yuyao and Xuanfeng, saying with a smile, "We're actually envious!"
She turned around and served steamed buns and porridge to the group of stiff-bodied men. "You lot! You should learn from Lord Xuanfeng! You're all so careless! You come home to find no food and start interrogating us without even asking what happened!"
"Damn it, stop talking... We didn't know..." Bai Jinsi said awkwardly.
"Now you know! Eat up! After you're done, take the steamed buns and porridge over there. General Lei is leading people to repair the plank road right now!"
"Repairing the plank road?" Su Yuyao asked, chewing on her steamed bun. "Was the plank road also damaged by the flood?"
"Ah... well..." The White Tiger Mother looked at Su Yuyao with some embarrassment, then at Xuanfeng who was admiring Su Yuyao from the side, and said softly, "It's not a flood, it's... a wildfire..."
"Hmm?" Su Yuyao stopped chewing, glanced at Xuanfeng sideways, and realized that she had completely forgotten that she was the one who caused the trouble! She quickly picked up the porridge and gulped it down to hide her panic.
Xuanfeng didn't react much, but silently enjoyed the girl's panic.
