He Yunxiao first joined Nan Zhu's wife in making a fuss, shouting "One hundred years, no change allowed," and then secretly looked at Chu Chu's profile.
The more He Yunxiao looked at Chu Chu, the happier she seemed, even though it wasn't showing on her face.
Chu Chu rarely shows any positive expression, except when she blushes. She's usually expressionless or has a cold face. The way she's currently reaching out to deal with me and Nan Zhu's wife looks like a mother cat playing with her kittens using her tail.
Impatient, but very loving.
He Yunxiao originally planned to use the Iron Eagle Gang's mess to distract Chu Chu and let her kill time, but now, He Yunxiao has a bolder idea.
Since Chu Chu doesn't dislike Nan Zhu's wife, if Nan Zhu is also willing to hold Chu Chu, wouldn't that mean... Chu Chu could help him "take care of the child"?
Honestly, this method is definitely worth a try!
Chu Chu is even better at protecting Nan Zhu's wife than he is! This way, he can free up his hands to focus on the consumer voucher matter. Today is the fourth day since his agreement with Sister Jiang to redeem her, and earning 10,000 taels in the next three and a half days will be quite challenging.
He Yunxiao hadn't forgotten why he brought Chu Chu to the pavilion; besides mediating the chaotic situation, there was also Xiao Xiao's matter.
With Nan Zhu's wife nearby, He Yunxiao had no choice but to send a telepathic message to Chu Chu in order to protect her: "Chu Chu, Xiao Xiao wants to see me."
Chu Chu: Mm.
Xiao Xiao immediately jumped out.
Xiao Xiao: He Yunxiao! You promised to help me and my brother repair our relationship!
He Yunxiao: Next time for sure. Is there anything else? He didn't let Chu Chu come out.
Xiao Xiao: I...
Xiaoxiao wanted to say something, but Chuchu cut her off.
Chu Chu: She's alright. Do you need something from me?
He Yunxiao: Yes. I won't use voice transmission anymore; I'll tell you in person.
He Yunxiao switched back to the public channel, first leaning down to whisper a few words in Meng Qingrou's ear. Meng Qingrou blinked, looked at Chu Chu, and nodded.
Chu Chu frowned slightly as she looked at the two of them.
With Chu Chu's cultivation level, she could easily hear every word He Yunxiao spoke if she wanted to, but she disdained such a thing and wouldn't deliberately listen to ordinary conversations without the use of internal energy to transmit sound. Eavesdropping was far too beneath "Chu Tianzun" for her.
As for those messages transmitted through internal energy, because the transmitter's cultivation level was too low, and because internal energy would diffuse on its own, they actually ended up in Chu Chu's ears on their own. It wasn't that Chu Chu wanted to listen.
He Yunxiao and Nan Zhu's wife discussed it in hushed tones before standing in front of Chu Chu and saying formally, "Chu Chu, I have something I'd like to ask you for help with."
"explain."
"I'd like to invite you to go shopping with us."
shop?
Chu Chu had never heard of such a strange kind of help before.
Back in her days in the martial world, some people asked her to kill, some asked her to give them pointers, and some asked her to become the grandmaster of their sect. No matter what price they offered, Chu Chu found these requests utterly pointless and didn't want to pay them any attention.
A gentle breeze blew through the pavilion of the Marquis's residence.
Chu Chu looked up at He Yunxiao, her face expressionless, but in her heart she genuinely felt that He Yunxiao was much more interesting than others.
"Boring. Not going. Not in the mood."
Seeing Chu Chu say "no" three times in a row, He Yunxiao immediately smiled.
There's hope.
Based on He Yunxiao's understanding of Chu Chu, he knew that Chu Chu, who was usually quiet, would become talkative once she started talking more, which meant that she was in a good mood.
He Yunxiao didn't hesitate and immediately took Chu Chu's small hand and pulled her up from the round stool.
"Chuchu, let's go shopping."
"I have no interest."
"Let's go, Rou'er, give Chuchu a hand."
"oh oh."
Meng Qingrou obediently got up and reached for Chu Chu's other hand.
When the two delicate little hands touched, the slightly cool hand that belonged to Chuchu immediately recoiled.
"Don't touch me."
Meng Qingrou stood there, her hand raised.
They were just making a pinky promise together...
He Yunxiao knew that Chu Chu didn't like being touched by others, but he didn't expect that Chu Chu, his wife from Nanzhu, whom he had just made a pinky promise with, wouldn't let anyone touch her.
Looking at the soft, white hand in his grasp, He Yunxiao thought to himself: He could touch her so freely now only after enduring countless beatings. To be honest, being able to be close to Chu Chu like this, even if it meant getting beaten, was worth it. Others might want to be beaten, but they wouldn't even have the chance.
He Yunxiao pulled Chu Chu along and looked at Nan Zhu's wife, saying, "Rou'er, tug on her sleeve."
Meng Qingrou responded with an "Oh".
So, He Yunxiao grabbed her hand, and Meng Qingrou pulled her sleeve. The two of them, a ninth-rank martial artist and a little girl with no martial arts skills, forcefully pushed Chu Chu, the number one martial artist in the world, onto the carriage.
In the State of Qi, there were regulations governing the specifications of the carriages used by officials of all ranks.
By the time a marquis is ennobled, the carriage can be built to be quite spacious. At least three people can sit side by side without any problem.
However, the awkward Chu Chu was not going to cooperate with He Yunxiao's wish to sit in the middle. She got into the carriage, sat in the middle of the seat, and then didn't move.
Now, He Yunxiao had no choice but to choose a female lead to sit next to, either Chu Chu or Nan Zhu.
He Yunxiao was speechless. Being around more than one female lead meant you had to be careful at every turn; it could easily escalate into a mini-battleground like this.
Even so, He Yunxiao did not suspect that Chu Chu was deliberately testing him.
Knowing Chu Chu as He Yunxiao did, Chu Chu wouldn't use such a drawn-out method. If she were to make a move, she would definitely hold the bell that controls the Soul-Devouring Pill, shake it casually, and force you to beg her to tell you the truth.
Mentioning the bell, He Yunxiao couldn't help but look at Chu Chu in the carriage again.
