Spring is rainy and the days are short, especially in this deep valley. Before the evening hour, the sky darkened and the cabin lit up with orange lights.

A drizzle of rain fell outside the eaves, and the flame of the oil lamp flickered, and suddenly it was blown out with a hissing sound by the wind.

Yu Yi wrapped herself in a plush blanket and dozed off on the futon. The spiritual energy in this place was cut off, and the spiritual power in her meridians had not been fully restored, but she still did not give up and meditated for a long time every day.

Every bit of recovery is good.

Xue Chenjing approached Yu Yi, his footsteps were so light that they were barely audible. The only oil lamp in the room was lit behind him, casting his shadow on the ground. As he got closer, the shadow gradually climbed up the edge of her skirt that was spread out on the ground.

Something was constantly squirming at the edge of the shadow, making his figure not resemble a human figure at all. The shadow suddenly swelled, and several vicious tentacles emerged, entwining around Yu Yi.

The person sitting cross-legged on the mat nodded slightly, and his body shook. The shadow projected on the ground seemed to be suddenly startled, and it suddenly retracted its tentacles and returned to the shape of a human figure.

Yu Yi half-asleep and half-awake, raised her eyelids, and called out with a soft nasal voice: "Ah Qiu?"

Xue Chenjing was silent for a moment, walked over and squatted beside her, whispered: "Go to bed if you are tired."

"No, I'm waiting for you, and I haven't completed this big cycle yet." Yu Yi squinted her eyes and swayed her body. It was obvious that she was very sleepy. She mumbled, "Why did we settle here? We should find a place with spiritual eyes..."

Her voice became smaller and smaller, and she fell asleep with her head down.

Xue Chenjing took out a magic pill from the storage bag, cut the nail-sized magic pill into three equal parts, picked out a small piece and fed it into her mouth.

If Yu Yi's spiritual power didn't recover, she would definitely not be able to stay here, but if it recovered too quickly... Xue Chenjing hissed with fear when he thought of his face being scratched by her sword spirit.

According to his original idea, he wanted to feed Yu Yi with dirt every day, let the dirt in the dirt devour her golden elixir, corrode her spiritual roots, and turn her into a useless person who couldn't cultivate. In this way, she could only rely on him, stay by his side obediently, and become a puppet who only needed to love him and help him complete the task.

But the system was very annoying. As soon as he thought of doing this, it screamed in his mind, warning him with the failure of the mission.

When he was beaten by Yu Yi, he didn't see it protecting him like this.

Therefore, Xue Chenjing had no choice but to feed her some elixir every day, so that she would only recover a little bit every day, and she would not have enough spiritual power to attack him again.

After feeding her the elixir, he held her face and put his forehead against hers. Invisible tentacles slowly moved in the air, embracing both of them.

Yu Yi was in a light sleep, as if she had fallen into a sticky cold pool, the sticky breath seeped into every inch of her pores, and the rustling tide of human voices began to echo in her mind, as if every nerve was grasped in someone's hand, transmitting unquestionable information to her.

——I am your husband, you should like me, like me, like me, like me, like me

Yu Yiyu muttered in her sleep: "Well, I like you, I like you very much..."

Xue Chenjing's eyes lit up slightly, and he asked the system with great interest: "What is the current favorability?"

System: "...6%."

The joy in Xue Chenjing's eyes disappeared, and his expression became gloomy again. He lowered his eyes and stared at the sleeping person.

——No, you don't like me enough. What kind of like is 6%? You have to like me 100%, like me, like me, like me

Yu Yi's mind was swollen, and she groaned uncomfortably. Xue Chenjing still didn't let her go. The silver-white vertical pupils in his dark eyes were getting bigger and bigger, almost occupying half of the pupils. The invisible filaments extending from them were like flying hyphae, clinging to Yu Yi's face.

Xue Chenjing's fingertips unconsciously stroked her smooth cheeks. Under the dim light of the oil lamp, the tentacles crawling in the air were crowded around them, and their arms and legs were wrapped around Yu Yi's wrists, waist, and neck.

The round tip of a tentacle was pressed against her lips, feeling the warm breath she exhaled while she was mumbling, and gently rubbing against her lower lip.

——Not enough, not enough, not enough, not enough, you can still like me more, like me a little more, okay?

"Yeah, okay, I like you..." Yu Yi murmured.

Xue Chenjing asked again: "Favorability."

The system was speechless, it was like this every night, every night! The host was not bored, it was a little tired of answering. The system was really helpless, and still replied truthfully: "Six percent."

Xue Chenjing's chest rose and fell, and he took a deep breath. At that moment, the tentacles all over the room expanded angrily, squeezing the cabin from the inside out, and the wooden walls and roof on all sides collapsed and flew out, turning into mist in the drizzle.

The raindrops fell directly, splashing clear water outlines on the huge tentacles.

Yu Yi was surrounded by the tentacles, and not a drop of rain fell on her. The voice in her mind kept ringing, begging her.

——Like me, okay? Like me more, please like me more, please, please, please like me more, okay

In the quiet valley, Senior Brother He stood on one foot in the hot spring water without noticing anything, his slender neck twisted behind him, and he fell asleep in his wings.

The rain in the valley suddenly became strange, and the drizzle was shaking in the air, as if it was under the impact of a strong sound wave, but if you listen carefully, you can't hear any sound.

Yu Yi's lips moved, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, and uttered an almost inaudible murmur, "It hurts..."

The system panicked and screamed: "Master, Master, stop it, the heroine said she hurts--"

Xue Chenjing's snow-white pupils shrank suddenly, and the surrounding irises wrapped up again, wrapping the weird vertical pupils deep in his eyes. He restored his human pupils, and his expression was a little stunned.

The trembling rain in the air returned to normal and fell again.

The muddy mist drifted out of the rain and restored the broken cabin. The small oil lamp on the table swayed, and the candlelight relit.

Xue Chenjing lowered his eyes and stared at the person in his arms, and said with a bit of dejection: "Still hasn't changed?"

The system did not say anything.

Damn it, he has done this, can't she like him a little more? He is just a liar with nice words!

Xue Chenjing was furious, pushed Yu Yi away, let her fall to the ground, stood up and walked out.

Suddenly, a blood-red monster rushed out from the rain curtain, rushed to him with all four limbs, its teeth clattered excitedly, and it was not known whether it was rain or saliva hanging on its chin.

"It's so annoying." Xue Chenjing said angrily, and kicked it back into the rain curtain. He grabbed his sleeve and wiped his face with it, then tore off the sleeve and crumpled it into a ball and threw it out.

The bone demon jumped up suddenly, grabbed his sleeve, carefully protected it from the rain, and ran happily into the night, disappearing.

Xue Chenjing squatted under the eaves with his knees hugged, his shoulders trembling slightly, sniffing from time to time, trying to hold back his tears. Otherwise, the bone demon would rush over excitedly like a dog that smelled shit, what a tactless thing.

He spread out his hand, and a gray-white ancient stone emerged in his palm. The stone was irregularly shaped, like a miniature mountain range, and was held in his palm. In the middle was engraved the word "Zhen" in cursive script.

Xue Chenjing tried to open it again, but it was in vain.

The night in the valley was dark, with only a little candlelight in the cabin. Xue Chenjing leaned against the door with his head down and looked miserable. He curled up with his knees in the cold spring night wind, staring at the swordstone in his hand in a daze, looking so pitiful.

After a long while, the system made a weak sound in his ear, giving him a temporary task, urging him to carry the heroine to the bed and tuck in the corners of the quilt for her before leaving.

The system said cautiously: "The heroine will get sick if she lies on the ground like this and falls asleep."

Xue Chenjing clenched his five fingers, took back the swordstone, and snorted disdainfully with a strong nasal tone, "Let her die of illness."

"Master, if the heroine dies, you will never be able to open the swordstone again..."

Before the system finished speaking, Xue Chenjing had already stood up, walked back into the house, bent over to pick her up, and put her on the bed in the inner room. The system called in his ear: "Be gentle, be gentle."

Xue Chenjing said impatiently: "Shut up."

Under the nagging of the system, he resisted the urge to throw her directly onto the bed, and eased his strength a little. He bent down and laid her flat on the couch, then shook out the quilt to cover her, turned around and wanted to leave.

The system was like an old mother who was worried sick. She said angrily, "You have to take off all the hairpins on her head, otherwise she will be uncomfortable sleeping like this."

"What does it have to do with me whether she is comfortable or not." Xue Chenjing said coldly.

The system sighed. Its host was simply a helpless man. "It is because you are so inconsiderate that the heroine doesn't like you and her favorability has not improved."

Xue Chenjing was angry, "If you say one more word, I will kill her!"

System: "…………"

For the sake of favorability, he endured so much. What does taking off a hairpin mean? Xue Chenjing sat back on the edge of the bed, half leaned over, took off all the hair ornaments on her bun one by one, and placed them on the table in front of the bed.

"Is it okay now?" Xue Chenjing snorted.

System: "..."

Xue Chenjing: "Speak."

"Okay, absolutely okay, Master is awesome." The system was speechless, you are so hard to please.

What a sin, why did it tie up the male protagonist? It wants to tie up its lovely female protagonist, it wants to be close to the female protagonist, if it was tied up with the female protagonist, it would be very happy now.

Xue Chenjing was about to get up and leave, but someone suddenly grabbed his neck.

Yu Yi actually struggled to wake up. She stretched out her slender arms from the quilt, wrapped them around his neck, and pulled him lower to her body. Her voice was soft as if she had just woken up, and she murmured, "Husband, did I fall asleep alone again?"

Xue Chenjing propped his elbows on the bed, stepped back stiffly, tilted his head to see Yu Yi's slightly opened eyes, adjusted his tone, and said gently, "It's late, go to bed."

Yu Yi rubbed his eyes, forced himself to cheer up, and shook his head, saying, "No, I don't want to sleep now. Didn't I say I've been waiting for you?"

In the past, she had already fallen asleep, and Xue Qiu was still busy. I don't know what he was busy with. When Yu Yi woke up, he had already gotten up. As a result, Yu Yi had no memory of sleeping in the same bed with him when she was awake.

Xue Chenjing didn't understand her hint, and patted her forehead lightly, coaxing: "You go to sleep, what are you waiting for me to do? I haven't finished cleaning the kitchen yet."

"Don't clean it, it won't be too late to clean it tomorrow." Yu Yi wrapped her arms around his neck and stretched out one leg from under the quilt to hook around his waist. Her dark pupils rippled slightly in the candlelight, and she said shyly, "Of course I'm waiting for my husband to do things between husband and wife."

Xue Chenjing was stunned, "Huh?"

Yu Yi narrowed her eyes slightly. Under the dim light, she saw clear stupidity in Xue Qiu's slightly red and swollen peach blossom eyes. He didn't seem to understand what was between husband and wife.

They were married, and lived alone in the mountains for three years. Could it be that they never consummated their marriage?

No wonder she had no impression of this. This was too unreasonable.

The system reacted faster than Xue Chenjing from the shock and quickly reminded him: "Master, in the female master's cognition, you have been married for three years. You can't act like nothing has happened. Be more sophisticated."

Xue Chenjing: "..."

Yu Yi: "..."

The system also deliberately emphasized "in the female master's cognition", which sounded wrong no matter how it sounded.

Yu Yi was thinking in her heart, and suddenly she heard Xue Qiu whispered: "Okay."

She looked over in surprise, only to see the young man lowering his eyes, gazing at her deeply. The helplessness in his eyes had long disappeared. He stretched out his hand to tuck the black hair behind her ears, and his fingers slid behind her neck, supporting the back of her head.

The cold fingertips made her shiver a little, and her neck felt numb and covered with goose bumps.

This looked like a posture ready for a kiss.

The two of them were very close, their noses touching, their breaths touching, and even with such a tiny distance between them, Yu Yi could even feel the moist and cold breath on his lips.

Her eyes widened and her heart skipped a beat.

Xue Chenjing held the back of her head with his fingertips and applied a little force. Yu Yi's eyelashes trembled violently and she fainted.

The arm around her neck slid down softly, and Xue Chenjing stood up with a sigh of relief.

But it was obviously not enough to just make her faint. She would definitely be suspicious when she woke up tomorrow. Xue Chenjing frowned and thought for a moment, then leaned over to get closer to her again.

Under the shadow of his eyelashes, his dark pupils gradually elongated and turned into silver-white needles. The seductive whisper once again penetrated Yu Yi's mind.

- Your husband is amazing, very amazing. We practiced together until dawn, and you were so tired that you fainted in the end!

The system was about to shut down politely, but when it saw its host's indecent operation, it was silent for a long while and asked in confusion: "Master, don't you know how to do it?"

Xue Chenjing was stunned for a moment, recalling the time when he lost his composure due to the electric current on her sword, and had several of her tentacles cut off without any resistance, and his facial bones were scratched. He could only resist this kind of thing in his heart.

He lowered his eyes and glanced at Yu Yi with contempt, sneering coldly: "Only humans would indulge in such low-level carnal intercourse."
