He Yunxiao: Chuchu, how is she? She's blushing. I can handle this right away, so please don't do anything.
Chu Chu: Hmph.
Having calmed Chu Chu down, He Yunxiao finally felt relieved. For the time being, there was no need to worry about her taking action against Fan Ziruo.
But before He Yunxiao could be happy for long, Fan Ziruo's favorability rating began to plummet.
Fan Ziruo's favorability rating has decreased from 70 to 60.
Fan Ziruo's favorability rating has decreased from 60 to 50.
He Yunxiao: ?
Goodness, this favorability rating rises quickly, but it also drops just as fast!
At least it didn't actually drop back down; it rose by at least 5 points.
He Yunxiao understood.
Based on his previous observation of Fan Ziruo's appearance just after waking up, he realized something.
This girl is truly clear-headed when she's sober, and truly confused when she's confused.
She was so embarrassed by her own hand being grabbed that she lost her temper and her affection level skyrocketed. But when she regained her senses, her affection level naturally dropped.
At this moment, Fan Ziruo had already withdrawn her slender hand.
He stood upright with little expression, just as he had always done.
For He Yunxiao, the only difference is that Fan Ziruo's favorability rating was only 38 before, but now, after this series of actions, it has risen to 50.
Having gained favor with He Yunxiao, Fan Ziruo instructed him to be careful with his words and actions before sitting down to read quietly. At first glance, she seemed even more distant than before.
He Yunxiao wasn't flustered at all. No matter how Fan Ziru pretended, the favorability rating was real and wouldn't lie.
Chu Chu: She's ignoring you, looks like you failed.
He Yunxiao: Chuchu, you don't understand. She's just shy and doesn't know how to handle her relationship with me, so at first glance, it seems like we're not very close.
Chu Chu: You dare to laugh at me?
He Yunxiao was speechless. He didn't know when it had started, but he had become extremely sensitive to what Chu Chu said to him. She always interpreted it in all sorts of inexplicable ways. If she weren't Chu Chu, but any other girl, He Yunxiao would have assumed that she had a crush on him.
Unfortunately, this is the personality of the great demon Chu Xiaoxiao. How could a girl who constantly talks about "murder" possibly have a crush on someone like a little girl? Not to mention that Chu Xiaoxiao is the only "true" female lead in the original novel, someone who can only like the protagonist Chu Fan.
He Yunxiao patiently explained to Chu Chu via telepathy: "Everyone has their own expertise. Lord Chu Chu's martial arts are unparalleled. I only know a little more about those wicked women than you do. If I don't even have this much of a skill, what face do I have to serve you?"
Chu Chu: You don't need to make yourself sound so worthless. At least, sometimes you're not even afraid of the Soul-Devouring Pill.
He Yunxiao: Chuchu, are you praising me?
Chu Chu: Shut up.
...
The morning passed quickly as He Yunxiao and Chu Chu chatted and joked.
As lunchtime approached, Chu Fan and Chu Xiaoxiao concluded their visit for the day, bid farewell to the guests at the Fan residence, and headed back home.
He Yunxiao didn't want to make a fool of himself. After Chu Fan left, he said goodbye to Fan Ziruo and went home for dinner.
Today, Fan Ziruo and Du Yinyun escorted He Yunxiao back home. He Yunxiao secretly lamented that he couldn't have a bite of Du Yinyun's food before dinner.
To be fair, He Yunxiao, as the most notorious "womanizer" in the entire city of Yinjing, was indeed very lustful towards Sister Du.
He was young and full of vigor, and he hadn't lost any limbs, so naturally he wouldn't be like a eunuch, spending his days in asceticism.
And then there's that Soul-Eating Pill...
Although he hasn't tried it yet, He Yunxiao finds the thought terrifying.
Fortunately, he is in the State of Qi and is the legitimate son of a marquis, so he can marry several women. Otherwise, he would suffer greatly if he relied on just one.
While there's an old saying, "There's no such thing as land that's been over-cultivated, only oxen that have died from exhaustion," this doesn't apply to Soul Eater. Oxen that have eaten Soul Eater won't get tired. It's like nuclear-powered farmland.
Thinking about it this way, He Yunxiao suddenly decided not to undo the Soul-Devouring Pill for the time being.
I don't know how far along the antidote is on Nanzhu's wife's side, but if we get the antidote girl's antidote first, we should keep it for later and take it last.
Since I've already eaten this Soul-Eating Pill, I should at least try it out to see what "nuclear power" is like, right? Otherwise, wouldn't I have wasted my time eating it?
He Yunxiao pondered when to try the Soul-Devouring Pill.
Currently, there are three female leads with a favorability rating of over 80: Du Yinyun, Jiang Wuyou, and Meng Qingrou.
Sister Jiang said, "Wait a bit before giving the money." Nan Zhu's wife hasn't even been engaged yet; all the plans are still just talk, nothing concrete has been done. Therefore, the most likely candidate is Sister Du.
But Sister Du...
He Yunxiao gets a headache just thinking about Du Yinyun.
Du Meimei is so obedient, so obedient that He Yunxiao can no longer tell whether she is willing or not...
The State of Qi was not a modern state.
If a woman from the State of Qi is willing to give you her body before marriage, she is taking a huge risk. She doesn't care if she is betrayed by you in the end, or if she loses her reputation and is ruined.
He Yunxiao knew that if he asked, Sister Du would definitely agree. However, since they weren't married yet, if he acted before the wedding, she might only be "obedient" and not necessarily truly willing. He Yunxiao naturally cared a great deal about her feelings; if she wasn't willing, they could wait until the wedding.
Therefore, because Sister Du is so obedient, He Yunxiao can't be sure if she's truly willing. Thus, he can't even think about testing the Soul-Devouring Pill on her...
Fortunately, we still have Mr. Yuhe and the antidote girl.
He Yunxiao guessed that the task of testing the Soul-Devouring Pill would most likely fall to them.
Suddenly I'm full of energy!
After quickly finishing his meal at home, He Yunxiao realized it was still early and he couldn't visit the Fan residence so soon. With some free time, he even began to study the martial arts manuals collected by the Marquis's mansion.
This unusual behavior really startled Zhang Jingxian.
"Master, have you inquired with Physician Wei? What illness does Xiao'er have?"
He Yuanhao was also puzzled.
"Old Wei said that this rascal just has too much blood and energy. He should exercise more, practice martial arts more, and eat less nourishing food. There's nothing serious about it."
Zhang Jingxian asked in surprise, "Vigorous blood and qi?"
She and He Yuanhao exchanged a glance, and He Yuanhao understood what she meant.
The old Marquis said, "Tomorrow I will enter the palace to meet the Empress Dowager and Princess Xiaoyue to formally propose to Princess Nanzhu."
Zhang Jingxian nodded and said, "That day I took Xiao'er to the palace to visit the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager liked him very much. There shouldn't be any other obstacles to this marriage. We just need to wait for the master to speak up. Nanzhu will marry into the family."
He Yuanhao's intuition, honed from years of battlefield experience, told him that He Yunxiao's marriage might not go so smoothly.
This feeling was unfounded, and He Yuanhao couldn't explain why. He just sighed and said, "I hope so."
