Businessman 1

and asked me, “Would you like some drinks I can't offer you alcohol, lest your brother think I have ulterior motives.”I gave a strained smile and said, "No more... I, I can't drink cold things right...Mu Wanchen simply told me a story.

A tale of a master who, enraged for the sake of a beauty (a wife he seeks), is truly touching. However, before this master's anger explodes, Mu Wanchen, who was patrolling the lower reaches of Mi River, receives information from his divine hawk that the village of corpse refiners secretly sent over a woman.

And this woman was also placed in an earthen house filled with layer upon layer of barriers.

He had been quite put off by the way necromancers behaved, but the previous Divine King, driven by his benevolent desire to provide a sanctuary for extraordinary individuals with nowhere else to go, permitted them to establish a village in the mountainous region downstream of the Mi River.

So he didn't outwardly forcefully drive them away, but after hearing the information brought back by Divine Eagle, he immediately took his warships downstream and arrived at the village of the Corpse Refiners that very night.

He demanded the necromancer hand over the woman they had captured, but was refused, which only deepened his suspicion.

So he ordered the construction to begin, and the resistance of the corpse refiners seemed insignificant to him.

Even if the Corpse Refiner brought out the Corpse King, he only handed it over to his subordinates to deal with. He went straight to that house surrounded by layers of barriers and snatched the woman out directly.

That woman was the young mistress, at that time the young mistress was pregnant, he said a few harsh words to her.

"Why are you bullying her Little Madam is so cute," I asked.

Mu Wanchen chuckled self-deprecatingly: "She's the type that you just want to bully at first glance, but she's very good at knowing when to back down. As long as you keep her from running around, she'll behave herself."

At this, he glared at me and said, “You’ve grown bolder.”

"Just fell into a snake pit... You've said it so many times, are you planning to say it for the rest of your life" I mumbled impatiently.

Mu Wanchen was stunned for a moment, then suddenly evoked a faint smile with an unclear meaning.

His lip line was always flat, and when he suddenly smiled, it took me by surprise.

A gentleman is always composed and dignified.

This is warmth.

He looked aloof and cold, but as you got closer, you could feel his warmth.

"What are you laughing at" I leaned in and asked.

He reached out and poked my forehead, pushing me away from him slightly. He chuckled softly, "Then you'll have to tell me what you said."

Oh, I wouldn't give up. I reached out and grabbed his arm, don't push me away! Just lean against my arm a bit, let the female centipede get closer to her husband.

And then what happened

"What happened later Later, Mu Xiaoqiao told me that all the women who tried the poison insects died. She then made a deal with me, saying she would help me find love if I helped her escape."

"So, the name on that cliff—"

"What Master carved, couldn't stand up to Mu Xiaoqiao's soft and pleading requests. He gave away the secrets of Heaven and Fate." He reached out and pinched my chin.

Isn't fate a curious thing If the Corpse Refiner hadn't targeted Mu Xiaoqiao, or even if there had never been a Mu Xiaoqiao in this world, perhaps Mu Wanchen would have ended up like the previous Divine Kings, filled with regret.

"A person, like a point in the middle of a net, can spread out a web of coincidences starting from that point." Mu Wanchen sighed softly.

Mu Wanchen had two "wives," although they were both posthumously recognized, it always sounds a bit bittersweet.

I pestered him, but he wouldn't say much.

It was said that the first woman to be used for testing the Gu poison was from their own clan. The elders didn't want to place the female Gu on an "outsider", so they chose a woman from within their ranks.

At that time, Mu Wanchen did not have much authority, unlike now when he could say what he wanted.

Then they tested the woman with venomous worms. The female worm reacted violently, nearly instantly killing her. To express their respect for her, she was posthumously honored as the Witch Queen and buried near the altar.

From then on, he had no intention of finding anyone else to test the poison. He had learned his lesson too well. Women were so precious and should not be sacrificed needlessly.

But she couldn't resist the passion of the witch from the Si clan. She thought that as a person who commanded poisons and had various supernatural powers, she should marry him in the name of her clan.

Mu Wanchen hesitated a bit, but everyone else agreed to give it a try. As for the result... well, that ghost didn't dare come and scare me again, did she

"I remember that female ghost's name was...Si Jin, wasn't it" I asked.

Mu Wanchen nodded. "She is Si Duan's older sister, so Si Duan harbors a lot of hostility towards me and you."

Humph... So you took me to that useless waste, Si Yun...

"Then don't you dispel her vengeful spirit If she keeps haunting me like this, what am I supposed to do It's so unfair!" I pouted.

Mu Wanchen pushed the acupuncture box on the table: "You take these with you. For ordinary ghosts and goblins, you should be able to learn to deal with them yourself."

He must have done some kind of magic on these needles, otherwise, as someone with little spiritual power like me, why would I be able to use acupuncture to ask ghosts

If he doesn't say anything, I'll just pretend to not know.

After spending some time together, I'm no longer afraid of him. Especially after the misunderstanding cleared up, the discomfort in my heart dissipated, and I can even joke around with him happily.

It was getting late, he told me to go to sleep quickly. I pouted and grunted "hmm" in response. This guy would definitely turn around and disappear the moment he said goodbye. He's such a flake.

He seemed to sense the change in my tone, and frowned slightly. “What…”

"You just leave whenever you want... I don't... well, whatever..."

That thing, um, it's just that thing.

He chuckled, "Still not had enough"

As he spoke, he reached out and pressed me against his chest. Because of our height difference, I could only rub my head against his chest.

"...when you're old enough to get married, I'll have you sticking to me all day, carrying you everywhere...my little princess." He whispered sweet nothings in my ear, leaving me blushing furiously.

This guy is definitely not a blockhead, he's just got more willpower than I do!

Even in my dreams, I'm surrounded by pink bubbles.

Even if a female ghost were to lie on my bed, I probably wouldn't wake up.

But even the female ghost was not as frightening as my Fifth Senior Sister. My Fifth Senior Sister was too kind and considerate, managing our food, clothing, shelter, and transportation.

She rushed in with breakfast, frantically pulling the covers off me. I was still dazed and confused in my pink bubble when she shoved a shirt and skirt into my arms.

"Ancestors! Don't you know today is the first class of the new semester You even dare to be late for the headmaster's class! What if you fail the course!" My fifth senior sister was even more worried than I was.

The pink bubbles around me one by one burst, struggling to get out of bed—sugar is good, but reality has to be faced.

"Senior sister, I'm so sleepy. Am I sick" I rubbed my eyes and asked.

"Come on, you're lying! You sleep until 11 every day during the holidays, now that I'm making you wake up at 6, you must be exhausted! Quickly have something to eat, Ninth Junior Brother is already warming up the car." She picked up her comb and started brushing my hair forcefully.

Twintails, a white shirt, a knee-length pleated skirt, and a crossbody bag, that's all she has...

"Oh my, is your shirt getting tight" Fifth Sister frowned. "It's not fitting well so soon... You didn't fall in love, did you"

Plop!! my eyes ache. I kept my head down and silent, while the strange man continued to let out his ominous "whooshing" warning sound.“Is that little girl fainted from fright” the masked guard asked his com...
