"What are you doing here?" Li Tiezhu's expression changed when he heard her identity, and he pulled Tong Tong behind him.
Is this woman, like her scoundrel husband, trying to persuade his wife to become a concubine? No way!
"No, I just came to thank Miss Lanzhi. She has troubled me a lot today."
"No need. Now that you're better, take your husband home." Tong Tong poked her head out from behind Li Tiezhu.
"Alright, thank you for your time today." Su Chen curtsied and turned to leave.
Lanzhi and Li Tiezhu relaxed after seeing that the person had left.
"That was the young mistress of a wealthy landlord, how dare you treat her like that?" Lanzhi asked with a teasing smile.
Li Tiezhu glared at him and patted his chest. "What? You can't steal my wife! Not even the King of Heaven himself!"
Lanzhi couldn't help but laugh at his ridiculous boasting.
"Wife, my wife...you, you look so beautiful when you smile." Li Tiezhu's face was flushed red, which was especially noticeable when illuminated by the tinderbox.
"You..." Lanzhi felt embarrassed upon hearing this.
Looking up, I saw the flush on his dark skin and teased, "Oh, you're blushing?"
"Who's blushing?" Li Tiezhu touched his cheek; it was indeed a little hot. "This is from being heated by the fire starter; it's too hot!"
"Oh, so it's hot?" Lan Zhi found his blushing and attempt to hide his embarrassment quite adorable, a far cry from his usual rude demeanor.
Actually... having such a simple and pure-hearted husband is pretty good.
But……
She really doesn't dare to love anyone again; she's truly terrified of love.
Su Chen peered over the wall, a smile playing on her lips. Anyone with eyes could see they were mutually attracted, yet they were just putting on an act. Didn't they know that even if someone liked you, it wouldn't just show in their eyes?
[Ding dong: Congratulations, host, for completing the task. You have gained 50 experience points.]
"System, I feel like we can complete this task without them even needing to do it."
"Oh," the system weakly uttered.
Why are you acting so aloof now?
"Because someone abandoned the world prematurely, the main system didn't allocate me with any energy," the system said listlessly.
Su Chen chuckled and said, "Don't be angry. When this world ends, we'll arrange a new body for you."
[Ha, your meager experience points aren't even enough to create a body for this system in the system shop, let alone upgrade the system...]
What can you do by upgrading?
Upgrading the system will unlock more items in the shop, and the character customization feature will only be available when the system reaches level two.
"Ah, I see." Su Chen looked at her fingernails, wondering if she should trim them.
[This system remembers telling you this before...] The system sighed, but the host wouldn't listen to it...
"Then I'll give you a body as soon as possible." These nails aren't quite asymmetrical, how about I bite them?
[Fine, go ahead and chew your nails. I'm not talking to you anymore.]
Beep... The system went silent.
Su Chen gritted her teeth and said fiercely, "System brat, you read my mind again!"
She looked up at the sky, and the moon broke through the thick clouds, letting its light shine through.
Su Chen can finally see the Dao!
Thinking that it was getting late and the task was finished, it was time to return to the Qian residence while I could still see the road clearly.
But... she felt like she'd forgotten something? What was it again...?
Upon arriving at the entrance of the Qian residence and seeing the large character "钱" (money) on the plaque above the gate, Su Chen slapped her forehead.
