Upon hearing these light and airy words, Jiang Xuan was completely flabbergasted.
Nangong Liu Yun’s intuition was as terrifying as ever.
He had hidden his Demon Spiritual Root, without ever showing his monster form to her.
But somehow, she managed to guess it from just the surface meaning.
After all, this was all that good-for-nothing teammate Lan Xin’s fault!
If he hadn’t been careless and let Lan Xin sneak attack him with her Unyielding Claw, he wouldn’t be in such a pitiful situation…
Just when Jiang Xuan was feeling indecisive, Nangong Liu Yun gently cupped his face and changed the subject.
“It’s alright, I understand you, my husband. Everyone has some untold secrets, to varying degrees.
I’m the same; there are some secrets that I will only be able to share with you when you completely remember those memories from ten thousand years ago.
Not long ago, after I broke through to the Martial Master realm, I truly realized…
It turns out your previous life from ten thousand years ago is real… and I’m just like you… a chess player.
Sigh, anyway, these things are still too early for you right now.
Since you don’t want to be honest, that means you’ve lost my trust, so I’ll just keep you in this basement.
Except for our wedding in two days, the rest of the time, I’ll keep you close; we’ll be together forever…”
After saying that, Nangong Liu Yun’s eyes turned a bright shade of red, and her aura looked extremely eerie.
Then, she slowly leaned in on Jiang Xuan’s neck, “You’re destined to never escape from my palm…”
Meanwhile, the weight of Nangong Liu Yun’s words was so overwhelming that Jiang Xuan found himself blue-screening for a moment.
At this point, Jiang Xuan’s inner thoughts were:
【What does Liu Yun mean? Does she know what happened ten thousand years ago?
Why is she acting like a riddle master?! What kind of role did she play back then!?
Wait, those things seem too complicated for me to deal with right now. I better think of a way to change my situation!】
Out loud, Jiang Xuan stuttered in response:
“Well, um… if I’m honest with you, Liu Yun, can I get… a little bit of freedom…?”
At this moment, Nangong Liu Yun’s aura returned to its original form.
She squinted her eyes slightly and, in a gentle tone, replied:
“Fine, as long as you’re honest with me, after the wedding, I won’t entirely imprison you… I’ll give you one day off every ten days.”
Jiang Xuan: “????????”
Upon hearing Nangong Liu Yun’s words, Jiang Xuan couldn’t help but think:
【One day off every ten days? Even capitalists would envy this arrangement! But it still sounds like room for improvement, this is too harsh!】
Putting on a bargaining face, Jiang Xuan quickly negotiated:
“Liu Yun, this is a bit too much, how about… we both take a step back and do five days on, two days off?”
As soon as he finished, Nangong Liu Yun furrowed her brows slightly.
Then, her eyes flickered, and she responded:
“Alright, considering that your cultivation is still relatively weak and you really need more recovery time, I’ll make a small concession. I’ll give you two days to recharge.
I’ve made my conditions clear; now you can be honest with me, right?”
“Well, uh… most of what Lan Xin said before is true, but she also hid some parts.
Including… I was transformed into a monster by that ancient Demon God using some kind of method…”
“I see, so the reason I didn’t sense any monster traits on you is that you hid them, right?”
“Umm… yes… I have methods to conceal my monster form…”
As Jiang Xuan spoke, he had the system retract the concealment on his Demon Spiritual Root.
In the next moment, he transformed back into his monster form.
Nangong Liu Yun eyed him and her eyes sparkled with interest.
“Wow, you look even more alluring than before!
From now on, you’ll be my exclusive demon charm.
Lan Xin actually hid such a big secret; I’m going to have a word with her about this!”
Jiang Xuan: “……..”
“Liu Yun… you promised… five days on, two days off…”
“Oh, that matter? I’m sorry, my husband, I’ve changed my mind; let’s do thirty days on, one day off instead. I’ve already made up my mind.
So in thirty days, you’ll be in human form for fifteen days and monster form for the other fifteen.”
Jiang Xuan: “?????????”
Hearing Nangong Liu Yun’s new terms of thirty days on, one day off, Jiang Xuan’s face turned black, and his mind was left with a single thought.
【I’m going to d*e!】
Regaining his composure, Jiang Xuan sighed in disappointment.
“Liu Yun, you clearly said… that trust is the most important thing between partners.
Yet you immediately went back on your word; this… this is so heartbreaking…”
“You’re right, my husband; I didn’t consider this thoroughly…”
“Liu Yun, I’m glad you understand… so let’s stick with five days–”
Before he could finish, Nangong Liu Yun interrupted again:
“But my husband is entangled with all those bad women; I’m simply reconsidering a bit. Isn’t that reasonable?”
Jiang Xuan: “……..”
“Whatever, I’m not exactly a demon; I’ll let this slide this time.
How about this? You can have the last two days off, and we’ll change it to fifteen days on, one day off, starting after the wedding.
But before you take your break, you know what to call yourself, right? You’ll have to call yourself a demon charm!”
………
Two and a half hours later, Nangong Liu Yun was contentedly pinching Jiang Xuan’s face.
“Not bad, that ancient Demon God did one good thing; luckily, you weren’t taken away. Otherwise, if you fell into the hands of the monster clan, you’d be working nonstop.
In that case, the outcome would be dire, and only someone who loves you as much as I do would give you time to rest…”
Jiang Xuan: “????????”
After a bit of affectionate banter, Nangong Liu Yun slowly got up and said gently:
“I’ll go check outside. For our upcoming wedding, many forces have sent young ones to deliver gifts; I still need to go greet them.
You just rest here for two days, before our wedding, I’ll come to get you.
Oh, and just a reminder, this underground secret room has formations.
With your current strength, it’s impossible to escape; it’s best not to have any improper thoughts.
Now we just wait for those bad women to come knocking, so I can start my netting.
It’s time to make my claim known to everyone.
Oh, and I forgot to mention, that Deputy Pavilion Master from Xuantian Pavilion is your subordinate, right?
I haven’t made a move against her; she’s in the Great Jiang Imperial City. Do you want to meet her?”
Jiang Xuan: “!!!!!!”
