Not only Ji Shiyu and Xiao Xinran—even Senior Sister Steel Nantong, whom he’d just met, could make people cry, leaving him looking like some heartless scoundrel who abandoned them after a fling?
“What did you do to her?”
Jing Tan’er eyed Yun Liu suspiciously, noticing the damp patch on his chest, and felt a pang of regret.
She’d miscalculated—why hadn’t she thought of it at the time?
Senior Sister Qin was so skilled, she’d just thrown herself into his arms and cried!
“What do you mean, what did I do to her? She was leeching off me, okay!”
“Huh? Spill the details, my girlfriend!”
Miss Xiao’s head was full of question marks.
These fox spirits just kept coming, and she was starting to feel overwhelmed.
If she didn’t step up soon, wasn’t it likely that Little Yun would be snatched away before three years were up!
Yun Liu was feeling frustrated too.
He’d worked himself to death for so long, and now the reward he’d earned had flown away.
Even a small mosquito is still meat!
This lousy game had way too many bugs!
This side quest’s reward had a super high cost-performance ratio in the early stages—missing it was a blood loss. Those Yao Lu Disciples were all filthy rich.
Qin Yao was especially famous as a little rich lady—diligent, frugal, clever, and capable.
With her Second-Grade Alchemist skills and powerful Jindan Stage cultivation, countless people wanted to marry her as a Dao Companion.
She was the dignified Clear Mist Peak Senior Sister—could she really be this stingy?
“Why are you all looking at me? If you have something to say, say it. If not, get lost. Celestial Phenomena Peak isn’t a playground!”
Yun Liu waved his hand, then gave a swift kick to the backside of the yellow weasel squatting on the ground.
“Wah!”
Ji Shiyu let out a shriek and flew out the window.
That kick was truly satisfying—even the female lead and the villainess applauded in delight.
“Good grief, I was gone for a moment and you ate everything! I let you try a bite, not finish it all! You even licked the plate clean—are you part dog?!”
Xiao Xinran blinked.
“What’s the rush? Didn’t Sister Lan tell you to look after me?”
“Us.”
Ji Shiyu rubbed her backside and climbed up from outside the window, poking her head in and humming as she added a word—don’t forget her.
Yun Liu glared at the two of them, then couldn’t help but laugh.
“You’ve had tea and snacks—what more do you want?”
“Another bowl?”
“…….”
The yellow-haired girl tentatively raised her hand, still unsatisfied, crumbs at the corner of her mouth. The three of them looked at her with disdain.
But those colorful, beautiful sweets really were delicious.
She’d never tasted such special pastries on Star Isle!
Yun Liu said with a grin, “Still want another bowl? How about I give you both a full set of Cloud-Style Wellness Care after a bath and a change of clothes?”
Xiao Xinran nodded shyly, clearly not catching the sarcasm.
“I mean…I wouldn’t mind?”
“Then—then I want it too.”
The Little Princess quietly raised her hand, cheeks tinged red.
Yun Liu rolled his eyes at the experience baby.
“Why don’t you just go to heaven? Do you really think this is a charity house?”
“But my dorm was ransacked by Demonic Persons from the Demon Sect. I can’t go back! Senior Brother, you’re so kind—you wouldn’t let your cute Junior Sisters end up on the streets, right?”
Xiao Xinran’s eyes glistened with tears.
In front of Yun Liu, she always put on that sweet, lovable act, trying to awaken her future husband’s conscience with pure love.
A scoundrel is still a husband—if not now, when to chase after him!?
“Cute Junior Sisters…us!”
The yellow-haired girl chimed in again, and wisely ducked, dodging Xiao Xinran’s little fist.
Getting hit in the same spot over and over, her chin was about to go crooked!
“I can bear it—more than bear it.”
Yun Liu kept a straight face and was the first to grab the Little Princess by the collar and toss her out.
His little martial aunt hated outsiders wandering into the village the most.
If any stray hair or rouge scent was left on his bed, he’d be dead for sure!
“I don’t care! I’m hurt—Senior Brother has to carry me or I can’t stand up!”
Xiao Xinran clutched the blanket and flopped right onto Yun Liu’s bed, rolling around, throwing a tantrum, and acting shameless.
Don’t you like shameless women?
Then I’ll stop being human!
The next second, the white-clad youth decisively scooped up the main heroine’s fair legs and gently lifted her in his arms.
“Gulp!”
Xiao Xinran’s heart raced. In her eyes, there was only the youth’s indifferent face.
She’d just started to wrap her arms around Yun Liu’s neck, but before she could savor the warmth, she was tossed out and landed hard on the ground.
“There’s a bus outside the mountain gate. Take the kite for two stops to Shenhua Lane and stay at an inn yourself.”
Bang!
The little hut’s door slammed shut. Celestial Phenomena Peak was between Sighing Peak and Clear Mist Peak, not too far from the Four Academies.
Xiao Xinran sat dazed on the ground, covering her face, steam rising from her head, heart thumping wildly.
For once, it wasn’t anger that made her so flustered.
It was good—this was her first ever princess carry by Little Yun!
The female protagonist who loved reading trashy romance novels was utterly clueless when it came to real life…
“Hungry? Want a bite? Your husband’s really got skills—well, ex-husband now, sorry.”
Ji Shiyu squatted beside her, tilting her head and pulling out a peach pastry with filling, which she’d somehow hidden in her robe.
“♪”
But this time, Xiao Xinran ignored the troublesome yellow-hair, got up on her own, humming a tune, and skipped down the mountain.
In this moment, her world was pink.
There was no disgusting yellow, and all the unhappiness of recent days was completely forgotten.
The girl quietly memorized the way.
If it happened once, it could happen again. Let’s see if you can throw me out every single time!
“One’s an idiot, one’s crazy—go die somewhere else.”
Jing Tan’er looked at the two oddballs, shook her head, straightened her clothes, and knocked on the door again.
Yun Liu poked his head out the window, waving a spatula impatiently.
“They’re all gone. Why are you still here? If you want to fight, go to the practice room.”
“This Princess comes and goes as she pleases—not here for them, anyway! For the record, I’ve obediently done as you said…ahem, I mean, I’m too magnanimous to stoop to the level of petty servants!”
Jing Tan’er muttered in a low voice, pulling something from her sleeve and handing it over.
“Here.”
The handkerchief was washed clean, and inside, wrapped in paper, was a tiny sugar figurine—a mini white-robed youth, lifelike in every detail.
The Little Princess turned away, her earlobes flushing red.
She said with disdain, “A return gift for you. Thanks for going out of your way to comfort me. Not that I needed it at all, but I hate owing people favors even more!”
“Oh, actually it wasn’t that much trouble…”
You were just blocking the road.
Yun Liu wiped his hands and accepted the handkerchief.
“I—I just wanted to say, this kind of Yun Liu isn’t like you at all—not even fit to carry this Princess’s shoes! So what if you hit a small setback? Even if you can’t cultivate, you still have plenty of other strengths. Don’t keep sinking like this!”
Jing Tan’er’s legs trembled.
After mustering her courage to say all that, her cheeks were flushed crimson, just like that day the youth had “worked hard” to comfort her.
“…….?”
Huh.
This little experience baby sure has a big mouth, trying to lecture me now.
The youth’s lips twitched.
You’re still the loser, but I’m not the one suffering anymore—if you lump us together, that’s a bit of a problem.
“This year, I’ll become a disciple of Celestial Phenomena Peak. From now on, I’ll be in your care. And it’s not because of you that I applied for Celestial Phenomena Peak—don’t flatter yourself! I’ve just long admired the grace of Ice Fairy Bingling.”
“Is that so?”
Yun Liu smiled.
Where did she get such confidence?
“Hmph~ Don’t get happy too soon. I might change my mind at any time. Depends on your performance!”
After delivering her preemptive promotion speech, Jing Tan’er strode away with mysterious confidence and her completely new love-struck brain.
“Your Highness…how long have you had these symptoms?”
Not just Xiao Xinran—Jing Tan’er’s condition didn’t look too optimistic either.
When wandering around the village entrance, Her Highness had already planned her future wedding room, was picking out baby names, and aiming to have two kids in three years—completely lost in her own beautiful fantasies.
Honestly, how could anyone live in a place like this?
Oh well, marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog.
Once she’s through the door, she’d just have to renovate everything from head to toe!
