Before Su Chen could reply, Jin Yu covered her eyes with one hand and lifted her up with the other, carrying her out of the inn.
Su Chen noticed that Jin Yu's expression wasn't good. "Am I very heavy?"
Jin Yu: "It's alright."
"I really should lose weight," Su Chen said, pinching her little belly.
Jin Yu: "No need."
Su Chen: "Yes, I'll need you to carry me when I need to escape in the future."
Jin Yu: ...
Bai Zhiyu came out with a sour face after changing her clothes and washing up.
Seeing Su Chen's displeased expression, he asked, "What brings you here?"
Su Chen: "I'll help you find the murderer."
"You?" Bai Zhiyu frowned, seemingly having great doubts about Su Chen's abilities.
Su Chen put her hands on her hips and said, "Why are you looking at me like that? Am I not good enough?"
Bai Zhiyu prided herself on being a cultured person who would save face for others, so she didn't argue with Su Chen.
"Then, who is this?" Bai Zhiyu looked up at Jin Yu behind Su Chen.
Su Chen then realized that she hadn't introduced the two yet, so she pointed at Jin Yu and said, "This one... you can call him uncle."
Bai Zhiyu's eyebrow twitched. "He and you are..."
Su Chen: "Let's just call him my husband for now."
Bai Zhiyu's forehead twitched. "You mean... I should call your husband 'uncle'?"
Su Chen, without feeling anything amiss, said, "It's a matter of each person having their own way of addressing each other. If you feel the seniority is not right, you can call me aunt."
Bai Zhiyu felt that his temper was about to get out of control.
Jin Yu seemed to realize that Bai Zhiyu was furious with Su Chen, so he sighed inwardly and clasped his hands in greeting, "Jin Yu."
Bai Zhiyu replied, "Bai Zhiyu."
Su Chen watched with amusement, and even wanted Bai Zhiyu to recognize Jin Yu as his godfather on the spot.
Jin Yu stretched out her large hand and squeezed Su Chen's small hand. Su Chen realized that she was too proud and stopped talking.
Actually... she originally wanted to adopt a son today.
Bai Zhiyu didn't say anything more and turned to leave. Su Chen followed and asked, "Bai Zhiyu, have you agreed to let me help you find the murderer?"
Bai Zhiyu: "Mm."
Su Chen said with considerable confidence, "It seems you have recognized my strength."
Bai Zhiyu glanced back and said, "What I value is not your strength."
Su Chen (in his mind): Um... okay. It's true, the original owner's Foundation Establishment cultivation level was really unreasonable. It's normal for him to value Jin Yu's strength. By the way, where's Jin Yu?
Su Chen turned around and saw Jin Yu right behind her, with his right hand on her waist.
Su Chen was taken aback and asked, "What are you doing?"
Jin Yu raised an eyebrow. "You won't let me help you?"
Su Chen nodded.
Jin Yu smiled and loosened her grip. Su Chen felt her feet sink and couldn't keep up with Bai Zhiyu anymore.
Su Chen then realized that Jin Yu must have used some kind of magic to make her move lightly and keep up with Bai Zhiyu.
Su Chen: "Jin Yu, why don't you help me up?"
Jin Yu remained noncommittal, "What benefit would I get from helping you?"
Su Chen raised an eyebrow. Interesting. This villain has learned to bargain. He wasn't like this in the previous worlds, and his personality is quite different from before.
Seeing that she was about to fall behind Bai Zhiyu, Su Chen became anxious, fearing the mission would fail, and asked, "What benefits do you want?"
Jin Yu smiled knowingly and leaned down to whisper in her ear, "What do you think?"
Su Chen frowned. "I don't know. How would I know if you don't tell me?"
Jin Yu straightened up and looked down at her, "You always pretend to be ignorant when you know the truth."
Su Chen smiled and said, "You know it in your heart, why say it out loud?"
