99: Chapter 99 She's not your wife!

"Sister Li~ Try the pastries Eer made~"

"Okay~"

Watching Li Mochou eat the pastry, Gongsun Lüe asked with eager anticipation, "How is it? Is it good?"

Li Mochou chewed carefully, her beautiful eyes narrowing, "Sweet and delicious, perfectly soft and crisp, with a rich fragrance of osmanthus. It's good, so good~"

As she spoke, Li Mochou picked up another piece and put it in her mouth. "Lüe, your skills are excellent! What's the name of this pastry?"

Hearing Li Mochou's praise, Gongsun Lüe's pretty face instantly lit up with joy. She said softly, "Osmanthus Cake~ It's made with osmanthus~"

Hehe, if Sister Li says it's good, then I won't adjust it for now. I'll let Master taste it tonight~

"Bang—"

At that moment, the main door was suddenly kicked open.

The two women frowned and looked towards the sound, only to see Su Xuan walking in from outside the door with a furious Aura.

"Master... Hey, hey, Master, don't..."

"Thump~"

Before Gongsun Lüe could react, she was grabbed by the back collar of her clothes by Su Xuan and hauled out.

Looking at the tightly shut door, Gongsun Lüe still wanted to open it, but Su Xuan's voice came from inside the room again, "Go back and Balance the Vat!"

Hearing her Master's angry voice, Gongsun Lüe swallowed nervously in fear, timidly glanced towards the door, didn't dare to linger, and turned to leave.

It was good that Gongsun Lüe could leave, but Li Mochou wasn't so lucky.

As soon as she met Su Xuan's gaze, Li Mochou was so frightened she gave a start, and the half-eaten Osmanthus Cake in her hand slipped and fell to the ground.

She hadn't seemed to have angered Xiao Xuan these past few days...

Why did Xiao Xuan's eyes look even scarier than if he wanted to eat her...

"Xiao Xuan, what's wrong with you..."

"What's wrong?" Su Xuan didn't want to listen to Li Mochou speak. He flipped her over and pressed her onto the bed.

That familiar yet unfamiliar Sword Scabbard had somehow already found its way into Su Xuan's hand.

Without a word, Su Xuan gave her two whacks.

Feeling the continuous tingling sensation from behind, Li Mochou just tightly clenched her pearly teeth, closed her eyes, and remained silent.

Can't resist, can't resist. If I resist, it won't be just one or two hits...

After who knows how long, Su Xuan finally let her off lightly...

"Hand over the books!"

"What books..." Li Mochou originally wanted to play dumb, but seeing Su Xuan raise the Sword Scabbard high again, she quickly sprang up from the bed. "Don't hit! I'll hand them over! I'll hand them over right now!"

Watching Li Mochou rummaging through boxes and cabinets, Su Xuan snorted coldly.

She's not honest. If I don't discipline her, she doesn't know how to listen.

Not long after, a whole chest of books was piled in front of Su Xuan.

They were all strange books. Opening any one at random, they were filled with Toxic Positivity. No wonder his Master always said such inexplicable things.

Looking at the huge pile of books before him, Su Xuan was also somewhat stunned. He knew Li Mochou had this kind of book, but he didn't expect there to be so many.

Su Xuan raised an eyebrow and looked at Li Mochou, who was hanging her head and didn't dare look at him. "Are there more?"

"No..."

"No?" Su Xuan's gaze suddenly turned sharp.

"Yes, yes, yes! Mochou will go get them right now!"

Not long after, Li Mochou brought over another stack of books and gently set them down.

"Are there any more?"

"No, this time there really aren't any!"

As if knowing what Su Xuan was about to say, Li Mochou added, "Even if Xiao Xuan beats me to death, there aren't any more. They're all here!"

Seeing Li Mochou's serious expression, Su Xuan finally withdrew his gaze.

With a casual wave, he stored both the Sword Scabbard and the books into the system space.

Watching her book collection disappear before her eyes, Li Mochou couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache and subconsciously murmured, "It was so hard to find these... and now they're all gone..."

"What, you still want them?"

Hearing Su Xuan's voice, Li Mochou timidly took back her words. "Don't want them, don't want them, hehe..."

Su Xuan rolled his eyes and poked Li Mochou's head. "You! What on earth are you thinking about all day?! Are those things for you to look at?!"

Li Mochou pouted and fiddled with her fingers, looking somewhat aggrieved.

They're just some storybooks~

By now, Su Xuan's anger had subsided. Seeing Li Mochou like this, he also felt a bit self-reproachful. Did I hit her a bit too hard just now?

Su Xuan pulled Li Mochou into his arms and patted her shoulder comfortingly. "Alright~ I won't scold you anymore~ From now on, you're not allowed to read that kind of book, understand?~"

"Mhm~" Li Mochou nodded with a wronged expression, lifted her pretty face, and said pitifully, "I didn't want to read them either, but you never spend time with me. Besides eating and sleeping, I can't even see your shadow. What do you expect me to do?~"

Hearing Li Mochou's complaint, Su Xuan's mouth twitched. "That was my oversight. I'll spend more time with you from now on~"

It would have been better if Su Xuan hadn't said anything. As soon as he did, Li Mochou seemed to touch a nerve. She broke free from Su Xuan's embrace. "Liar, I don't believe you! You said the same thing before! The book was right, a man's mouth is a deceiving devil! You men are all fickle and love the new and loathe the old!"

Hearing words almost identical to Lin Chaoying's from Li Mochou, Su Xuan's mouth twitched slightly, not knowing what to say.

To tell the truth, these past few days he really had neglected the feelings of the women.

To be fair, he hadn't been a very competent prospective husband.

Su Xuan gave a bitter laugh, stepped forward, and hugged Li Mochou again. "Then tell me, Mochou, what do you want?"

Li Mochou's beautiful eyes shifted. "I want you to teach me the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra~ In the entire Ancient Tomb, I'm the only one who doesn't know the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra. You can't be so biased~"

"Okay~ I'll teach you~"

"And you have to Cultivate with me every day~"

"Okay~ I'll Cultivate with you~"

"And you can't lie. If you lie to me again, I'll go tell Master! Let Master beat you..."

"Thump~"

"Ow~ Don't hit~ You said before you wouldn't hit me~"

"Is it the same? Before, I hit you because you didn't follow the Ancient Tomb Sect rules. I'm your Junior Martial Uncle, I should hit you! Now I'm your husband, you're my wife, and you actually want to Turn the Tables and go tattle? Tell me, should you be hit?"

"Hateful~ I'm not your wife!~"

Unable to out-argue Su Xuan, Li Mochou simply buried her head in his chest.
