He Yunxiao said, "Since we can't live without each other, we can only agree on three rules that we should all abide by."
Chu Chu said with dissatisfaction, "Why should I, as the Venerable One, make a three-point agreement with a bad woman?"
In front of Chu Chu, He Yunxiao's survival instincts kicked in, and he became extremely shrewd. He was so shrewd that he didn't talk about feelings at all, completely avoiding any mention of his relationship with his wife, Nan Zhu. He only talked to Chu Chu about facts related to her.
He Yunxiao said helplessly, "Lord Chuchu, Rou'er can help me remove the Soul-Devouring Pill. Without her, your little He might not live to see this time next year."
Upon hearing the words "Soul-Devouring Pill," Chu Chu couldn't bring herself to be angry with He Yunxiao. She had sown the seeds of her own misfortune; she couldn't blame anyone else.
At first, I only thought of He Yunxiao as one of those boring, sycophantic江湖人 (jianghu people) and never imagined that so many things would happen later.
Chu Chu looked neither at Meng Qingrou nor He Yunxiao, but at the calm lake surface, and said, "Tell me your method."
After asking Chu Chu for her opinion, He Yunxiao looked at Nan Zhu's wife, ready to hear her thoughts.
Now that Chu Chu has lost her imposing aura because of the Soul-Devouring Pill, Meng Qingrou has also lost the pressure Chu Chu put on her and has returned to being the adorable version of Nan Zhu's wife.
"Rou'er, listen to Brother Yunxiao."
Seeing that Nan Zhu's wife had changed back, He Yunxiao felt greatly relieved. In particular, Nan Zhu's wife's calling him "Brother Yunxiao" was incredibly sweet.
There are no problems with Nanzhu now. All we need to do is persuade Chuchu, and we'll be able to get through this ordeal between Chuchu and Nanzhu.
He Yunxiao had a clear plan: no matter what, he needed to get through this first. The most important thing right now was to conserve time, farm, accumulate equipment, save his trump cards, and fight in team battles later!
"Ahem, let me first state our three rules."
Chapter One: Mutual Respect.
Chu Chu frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"
He Yunxiao explained, "As you can see, Lord Chuchu, I need Rou'er to remove the Soul-Devouring Pill. So, at least for this reason, I hope you can respect Rou'er and give me and Rou'er some time to get to know each other. Also, Rou'er needs to give you time to transfer your skills to Lord Chuchu."
Chu Chu glanced at Meng Qingrou and said, "Alright. I allow you to go to her for the detoxification."
He Yunxiao glanced at Nan Zhu's wife again.
Meng Qingrou didn't know what "transferring skills" meant, but she didn't have any objections. "Rou'er agrees too."
He Yunxiao nodded and then proceeded to the next chapter.
Chapter Two: Mutual Supervision
"What I mean is that Chuchu and Rou'er can restrain each other's behavior. However, in this respect, we must put ourselves in others' shoes. If we cannot do something ourselves, we cannot ask others to do it."
"for example……"
As he spoke, He Yunxiao took Chu Chu's hand.
"When Xiao He and Lady Chu Chu were passing on their skills, they needed to hold hands. So, since Chu Chu had already held hands, she couldn't stop Rou'er from doing the same. Conversely, if Rou'er were to hold hands when going out, she couldn't stop Chu Chu either."
Chu Chu understood.
"You can't hold hands with her unless I hold her hand, right?"
"Pretty much. If Chuchu doesn't hold hands, she can ask Rou'er not to either."
Chu Chu smiled and said, "Hmph. From now on, you are not allowed to touch me."
He Yunxiao had a sudden inspiration and immediately grabbed Nan Zhu's wife's hand, saying, "Alas, since Lady Chu Chu won't pass on her skills to me, I can only go to Rou'er."
Meng Qingrou blinked. "Brother, if you hold my hand like this, I won't let Chuchu stop holding it."
Upon hearing Meng Qingrou's words, Chu Chu immediately grabbed He Yunxiao's wrist and held it up for Meng Qingrou to see.
"I may shake your hand if I wish." Then, she tossed He Yunxiao's hand aside, adding, "I may not shake your hand if I wish."
He Yunxiao was secretly delighted. This time, his scheme against Chu Chu had succeeded.
He said, "Chuchu, you can't let Rou'er stop holding your hand now."
Chu Chu was about to retort when she suddenly realized that He Yunxiao seemed to be right. After agreeing on these three rules, he really couldn't stop his sister from holding hands with him. However, since "Zhang Lingrou" was his cousin, they were related by blood, and there was nothing he could do.
Chu Chu said to He Yunxiao, "I know she's timid, I deliberately let her have her way."
He Yunxiao understood Chu Chu; "letting her go" was just Chu Chu's usual stubbornness. But Meng Qingrou genuinely believed that Chu Chu was thinking of her, so she took the initiative to thank her: "Thank you, Chu Chu."
Looking at "Zhang Lingrou," Chu Chu felt that this girl was much better than the annoying Fan Ziruo.
"No need to thank me. You helped He Yunxiao, which is to help me. It is only right that I give you some benefits."
He Yunxiao was once again thankful; it was truly fortunate that she was Nan Zhu's wife. Otherwise, with any other female lead, especially Zi Ruo, she would have been locked in a fierce battle with Chu Chu. How could they possibly have achieved such "peace and tranquility at home" as they did now?
He Yunxiao, in a hurry to deal with the consumer vouchers, immediately put forward the third chapter of the three-point agreement.
Chapter Three: Helping Each Other
"Chuchu and Rou'er are both good people. Good people shouldn't be at odds with each other; they should help each other. For example, if Chuchu needs anything related to medicine, she can go to Rou'er. If Rou'er needs anything from Chuchu, she can also go to Chuchu."
Chu Chu had once possessed the Soul-Devouring Pill, so she naturally knew how skilled someone was in medicine to unlock its effects. To exaggerate a bit, He Yunxiao's sister's medical skills were roughly equivalent to her own in martial arts.
Chu Chu realized that simply collecting longevity herbs wasn't enough; she also needed someone to turn them into medicine, and "Zhang Lingrou" was perfect for the task. Moreover, she was He Yunxiao's cousin, so she certainly wouldn't be tempted by the herbs and instead resort to poisoning them for the sake of rare and precious medicinal materials.
