He Yunxiao had long since figured out Chu Chu's personality.
Before he figured things out, He Yunxiao was still "Little He," timid and submissive in front of Chu Chu. After he figured things out, coupled with Chu Chu's growing affection for He Yunxiao, the relationship between the two completely reversed.
Despite Chu Chu's high fighting skills, in her actual relationship with He Yunxiao, she is the dominant "arm," while He Yunxiao is the weak "leg."
Although Chu Chu was always the one who was assertive and He Yunxiao was always the one who coaxed her, things often ended up developing exactly as He Yunxiao wanted.
For example, right now, after provoking Chu Chu, He Yunxiao forcefully grasped Chu Chu's hand.
Although Chu Chu said "no," she had already been swayed by He Yunxiao's words. After struggling symbolically for a couple of moments in He Yunxiao's hand, she calmed down and let him hold it.
If He Yunxiao isn't allowed to hold hands, he'll try to hold Zhang Lingrou's hand. But you can't really let He Yunxiao hold Zhang Lingrou's hand, can you? How can siblings be so unrestrained?
Seeing that Chu Chu had given in, He Yunxiao began to push his luck, "Please, Lady Chu Chu, pass on your skills!"
Chu Chu glanced at He Yunxiao and silently transferred her power to him.
He Yunxiao felt the pure internal energy within his body and was completely relieved. At least on the surface, Chu Chu was no longer angry that he had taken Nan Zhu down to play.
In the past, when the power was being passed on, He Yunxiao would always find an opportunity to cry out in pain so that he could get a chance to hug Chu Chu. But now that he was with his wife Nan Zhu, He Yunxiao was too embarrassed to cry out.
After being rejected by Chu Chu once, Meng Qingrou didn't stay idle.
The statement "Chuchu is the younger sister" was enough to inspire her sense of responsibility as the "older sister".
In their role as the "older sister," Meng Qingrou is strikingly similar to her older sister, Meng Qingqian. While Meng Qingqian was unwilling to take her younger sister He Yunxiao away, Meng Qingrou, now acting as the "older sister," watches He Yunxiao and Chuchu holding hands without showing any anger or speaking out. She deliberately "gives in" to Chuchu.
When Meng Qingrou left the palace, in addition to the necessary herbs, she also brought out several of her favorite ceramic animals.
Compared to the ceramic animals I bought on my last trip out of the palace, the number of ceramic animals on the shelves in Linxuan Palace has now doubled.
Every time He Yunxiao passed by Yaohui New Porcelain, he would buy a few fresh ones to bring to his wife, Nanzhu. He even spent money to have the porcelain artisans at Yaohui New Porcelain specially develop new animal figurines so that he could always buy new ones.
He Yunxiao never hesitates to spend any amount of money to win the heart of the female lead.
He Yunxiao has never forgotten his original intention: to make money to resolve conflicts and spend it on the female leads.
Meng Qingrou looked at the small animals in the bag. Among them were her favorite "Little Fat Dog" and a "New Version Little Fat Dog". The "Little Fat Dog" was the first pet He Yunxiao gave her, and it held great sentimental value. Meng Qingrou loved it the most and couldn't bear to give it to Chu Chu.
So she took the "new version of the chubby dog" and handed it to Chu Chu.
"This is for you."
Meng Qingrou looked at Chu Chu with her big eyes, her expression full of reluctance.
He Yunxiao was secretly laughing.
Chu Chu replied coldly as always, "I don't want it."
Meng Qingrou looked at He Yunxiao, seemingly waiting for him to speak.
He Yunxiao said, "Rou'er, if Chu Chu doesn't like it, you can keep it yourself."
"Oh." Although Meng Qingrou was unwilling to give it to Chu Chu, she was not happy at all when Chu Chu actually refused her.
Looking at his dejected wife, Nanzhu, He Yunxiao glanced at Chuchu furtively and thought to himself, "Rou'er is such a simple girl, she can't hide her emotions. That's for the best. If she were more shrewd and could conceal her thoughts, she wouldn't be able to win Chuchu's favor." Chuchu and Nanzhu have very different personalities, but they are both very innocent girls.
Nan Zhu's wife had spent time with Chu Chu while shopping before, and the two even had a "three-point agreement." Nan Zhu is currently the most likely of all the female leads to gain Chu Chu's approval. If it were Meng Bao or Zi Ruo, He Yunxiao simply couldn't imagine what it would be like for them to interact with Chu Chu.
The ultimate battleground!
It explodes at the slightest touch!
Get stronger! You must get stronger!
I, the villain, must become the true male lead! I must subdue all the female leads! Just like the emperor's harem, no matter how resentful the female leads are, they must maintain a facade of harmony.
When will the Emperor of Yan die?
Currently, He Yunxiao is only confident in keeping the female leads in check on the bed; he is not confident in other areas.
However, judging from Mengbao's example, for this kind of strong female lead, being able to subdue her in bed is a prerequisite for making her obey. If even that can't be done, then all other methods are useless.
Thankfully, there's the Soul-Eating Pill!
Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated!
(This idiom comes from Sun Tzu's "The Art of War," specifically the chapter "Planning an Attack," and means: In a battle between two sides, if one understands the opponent's strengths and weaknesses, one can fight a hundred battles without being defeated.)
...
It takes about three to four days to travel from Yinjing to Jingtian. Jubei Pass is located at the midpoint between the two cities, meaning it will take He Yunxiao about one and a half to two days to reach Jubei Pass, which is located on the border between Qi and Yan.
People can eat some dry food on the carriage, but horses always need to eat and rest, and cannot keep traveling.
As noon approached, He Yunxiao gave the order to eat. Ma De quickly drove the carriage off the post road, stopped it by the roadside, and then took out high-energy feed containing beans, wheat, and other ingredients for the horses to eat.
Seeing the horse eat its fill made Ma De even happier than if he had eaten his fill himself.
At lunchtime, Ma Dekuai stayed in the car to eat dry rations with Ma, while He Yunxiao got out of the car and led the two female leads into a nearby grove to improve their meals.
The biggest advantage of camping in ancient times was the abundance of wild animals; as long as you had the skills, you wouldn't have to worry about food and drink.
As a mid-stage ninth-rank martial artist, He Yunxiao could easily catch a few wild rabbits and raid a couple of bird nests. He could simply pick up a stone, imbue it with internal energy, and strike it; as long as his aim was good, he could blow a rabbit's head off with a single blow.
