Nangong Liu Yun, after hearing what Jiang Xuan said, smirked and replied:
“You two really have a strong master-servant bond; you even moved me. How about this… let’s just break our legs together! At least we’ll have company.”
Jiang Xuan: “!!!!!!”
“Wait… Liu Yun… I really know I was wrong… I won’t dare next time…”
“Hmm? So you actually want there to be a next time? Husband, have you still not recognized your… husband status?”
“I’ve recognized it, everything is based on… your wishes, wife…”
“Really? Then how do you plan to explain yourself to me? I heard from Lan Xin that you took the initiative with her?”
Jiang Xuan: “!!!!!!!”
Upon hearing this, even a dimwit like Jiang Xuan understood right away; Lan Xin must have ratted him out completely.
Feigning a pitiful look, Jiang Xuan replied, “No… I was tricked by her… Boo hoo, I trusted her so much… And she took advantage while you were away, eating and taking everything…”
Lan Xin: “????????”
Once those words left his mouth, Lan Xin, who was stuffed in a sack, totally lost her cool. She had never admitted to any of this; it was all just Liu Yun’s speculation!
Who would have guessed that just a random comment from Liu Yun would lead Jiang Xuan to walk right into a trap and toss the blame onto her?
Lan Xin was flabbergasted, but she wasn’t going to just sit there and take it. Otherwise, she figured she might lose another part of herself—her legs might really end up in jeopardy!
“Wait, Lady Liu Yun! Please let me have a chance to prove myself. It really was the Master who initiated it; I just so happened to have it recorded in the Recording Stone.
I was about to leave, but the Master insisted I stay; I couldn’t refuse him since I’m bound by contract…”
Jiang Xuan: “????????”
While Jiang Xuan was still dazed, Nangong Liu Yun fixed him with a skeptical look.
“Oh? If Lan Xin has proof with the Recording Stone, it seems her credibility just went up. Looks like, husband, you really…”
Before Liu Yun could finish her sentence, Jiang Xuan rushed in and covered her mouth with his own.
In his mind, given the current situation, the longer he kept talking, the more likely Lan Xin would really end up digging his grave.
The only choice was to make Nangong Liu Yun comfortable so she wouldn’t keep probing.
But soon enough, Liu Yun managed to pin Jiang Xuan down herself.
“Oh? Is my husband wanting to keep me warm?”
“Yes… please, wife… be kind to me…”
“Sigh, since my husband is begging me, I shall grant your wish. Looks like you’re finally starting to realize your duties as a husband.”
Jiang Xuan: “…”
At this moment, Jiang Xuan’s thoughts were:
【Indeed, being proactive like this feels so shameful! When will this suffering end?
When I was young, I wanted to conquer the world without a care, but growing up made me realize there are limits to what I can do.
Forget it, I’ll just lie here and brace myself for the storm. A gentleman’s revenge is a dish best served cold; as long as I have hope to grow stronger, I’ll eventually pin Liu Yun down and make her serve me like a good wife!】
…
Meanwhile, feeling the tremors from the wooden couch above, Lan Xin was utterly flabbergasted. Was this really something she was meant to hear?
“Husband, you really have gotten stronger in secret! You’re much stronger compared to last time.”
“Well, dominating the world and suppressing everything is one thing, but if I can’t grow, that’s another story.”
Jiang Xuan: “!!!!!!!”
“Wife, please don’t get carried away! No matter my cultivation level, I’ll always just be a small husband in front of you…”
“Let’s do a little simulation, shall we? What would it look like if you had the strength to rule the world?”
“We don’t need a simulation; it’s pretty much the same—still begging you for warmth and affection…”
Jiang Xuan, whose survival instincts were kicking in hard, wasn’t about to agree to any embarrassing simulations like that. He had no intention of revealing his inner chicken!
If he truly had the power to dominate the world, he definitely wouldn’t be lying around getting played like this.
Alas, being weak always leads to a tragic outcome.
At that moment, Nangong Liu Yun suddenly switched to a sweet and cutesy tone.
“Please, husband, don’t abandon me! I’ll be very gentle and obedient in serving you…”
Jiang Xuan: “???????”
Right then, Jiang Xuan’s inner thoughts were:
【Seriously? Now she’s putting on an act to trick this good guy? Does she really think I’ll fall for it?】
Meanwhile, down below in the sack, Lan Xin was quaking like a leaf.
She muttered to herself, “What’s going on? Has Lady Liu Yun really been conquered by the Master?
I’m doomed! I’ve definitely overheard something I shouldn’t have—I’m going to be silenced!!!】
