After we got married, I relied on my cheap husband to get promoted.

When I returned to the yard, I saw Xing Yue and the others practicing swordplay. When they saw the two of them coming back, they looked even more serious.

Cheng Jiuge said to Zhong Lixiu: "Look at them, I will get the medicine for you and boil it." After saying that, Cheng Jiuge left.

When Xing Yue and the others saw Cheng Jiuge leaving, they swung their swords faster, fearing that their junior uncle would tell them what they were doing, and that if their junior master's wife was not around, no one would speak for them.

Zhong Lixiu walked over and took a look, and then began to give instructions: "Liu Jin, raise your hands higher."

Liu Jin panicked and said, "Yes."

"Xing Yue, my moves are messed up."

"Ah, I'm sorry, little uncle, I'll correct it right away."

"..."

Cheng Jiuge came back with the medicine half an hour later, but she walked to the kitchen again, and Zhong Lixiu immediately followed her in. Liu Jin and the others breathed a sigh of relief, "Huh, the mistress is finally back."

Xing Yue wiped his sweat and said, "Uncle Junior seems to be under too much pressure."

"That's it."

Cheng Jiuge put the medicine into the casserole, added spiritual water, started a fire, and started to fry the medicine. Cheng Jiuge sat on a small stool and kept watching.

Zhong Lixiu took another small stool and sat next to her. Cheng Jiuge looked at him, "Didn't I ask you to watch them?"

Zhong Lixiu: "I feel more pressure with them."

Cheng Jiuge thought so, and then asked him about what happened in Fangcao City.

Zhong Lixiu also told how he entered the demon blood mirror and what happened, including how he finally came out.

"I still want to tell you about Wen Moyan. Wen Moyan should be the man you saw. After you left, I have been studying alchemy in Nanli Medicine Sect..."

Zhong Lixiu suddenly said: "Aren't you practicing sword practice?"

Cheng Jiuge: "... Of course, if you don't succeed in refining alchemy, you can go practice swordplay. It's not important. Just listen to me first."

"Oh."

"After that, I was going to walk back to Wuji Sword Sect to practice. I met Wen Moyan in the middle. I saw that he was being robbed and went to help him. Then..."

"I originally thought he was a bit weird. He looked like he wanted to date me. He even said that I had a Taoist partner and even said ambiguous words. I don't think that someone would fall in love with me just after knowing me for a short time. .”

Zhong Lixiu held a fire stick in his hand, "What did he tell you?"

Cheng Jiuge glanced at him: "There are some Taoist monks who appear to be obedient and well-behaved, but secretly hook up with many female cultivators."

Zhong Lixiu thought about who this kind of person was, and suddenly realized that he was being talked about? Zhong Lixiu broke the fire stick with a click, "I don't have one!"

Cheng Jiuge grabbed the fire stick and said, "I'm not stupid. I know he's talking about you. Of course I wouldn't believe his tea talk, so I didn't practice any more and quickly went back to Wuji Sword Sect. Later he seemed to have gone too. Wuxiao City sent me a message and wanted to see me, but I didn’t reply to him.”

Zhong Lixiu frowned, "How could he send you a message?"

Cheng Jiuge: "Because I just left a communication talisman about the secret realm, I didn't reply to him. I told you not to make you jealous, but to let you connect him with what you saw in the demon blood mirror. .”

"The Demon Blood Mirror is related to the Demon Realm, so is Wen Moyan also related to the Demon Realm? But I didn't feel the aura of demonic energy on him."

Zhong Lixiu: "Zheng Yu didn't have the aura of demonic energy before. But later it was proved that he was indeed a demon."

Cheng Jiuge: "You are right, I am just guessing. Do you think there will be someone colluding with the Demon Realm?"

Zhong Lixiu thought about it and felt that this might not be impossible. Otherwise, how would their whereabouts be known?
Cheng Jiuge: "Do you think I should summon Wen Moyan and ask him to come out to meet me? Let's test it out?"

Zhong Lixiu: "No! You don't want to interrogate him. I will interrogate him." Cheng Jiuge: "...You don't know him. What do you say?"

Zhong Lixiu: "He knows you and I know what to say."

Cheng Jiuge: "You tell me first and I'll see what you say."

Zhong Lixiu saw that the medicine was rolling and about to come out. He immediately opened the lid and said, "The medicine is coming out."

Cheng Jiuge immediately lowered the fire, "Don't change the subject, just talk."

Zhong Lixiu: "I am Jiuge's Taoist companion. Do you want to find her? I can meet with you on her behalf. If you have anything, you can tell me. She doesn't have time to see you. If you need anything, just come to me."

Cheng Jiuge twitched the corner of his mouth. He couldn't say it was wrong...but it was just weird.

"I think he might not come after hearing that."

Zhong Lixiu: "That's the best."

Cheng Jiuge: ...I forgot that this person is still jealous of Wen Moyan.

"Still no reply. Whether it's a cat or a dog, there will always be clues. Let's not alert the enemy yet."

"it is good."

It took an hour to cook the decoction. In the end, Zhong Lixiu poured the medicine into a bowl and drank it himself.

After personally watching him drink the medicine, Cheng Jiuge took him back to his previous room. "The elder said that you need to take a good rest recently, so you should lie down and take a rest first."

Zhong Lixiu lay on the bed and grabbed Cheng Jiuge's hand when she was about to leave, "Where are you going?"

Cheng Jiuge: "I'm going to see if the master is back and see if there are any arrangements. Xing Yue and the others have also made arrangements."

Zhong Lixiu stared at her eagerly, "When will you come back?"

Cheng Jiuge: "I'll be back in a minute."

"it is good."

When Cheng Jiuge left, Zhong Lixiu grabbed the quilt and covered it under his nose. He smelled the quilt as if he was a pervert. Thinking of Cheng Jiuge sleeping here for so many years, he suddenly gasped. Maybe it was because the wounds inside had not healed yet. Fragile, maybe because he drank medicine, he slowly fell asleep smelling the smell.

When Cheng Jiuge came back and saw him sleeping soundly, he originally wanted to go out and practice to consolidate his cultivation, but then he thought about his own physique, so he finally lay down next to Zhong Lixiu and fell asleep.

Maybe the real owner was back. Zhong Lixiu felt it in his sleep. He hugged the person as soon as he stretched out his arms, and curled up around his neck as soon as he turned his head.

It was already dark when she woke up. Cheng Jiuge rubbed his brows and looked down and saw Zhong Lixiu nestled in her arms. He also felt the posture of the two of them. Zhong Lixiu had his arm around her and his legs actually clamped hers. Legs, no wonder she always feels like she can't move them.

...When did the two of them become more and more intimate when sleeping?
Cheng Jiuge moved to sit up. Zhong Lixiu fluttered his eyelashes and opened his eyes. As soon as he raised his head and saw Cheng Jiuge close at hand, he pinned him down.

Cheng Jiuge: "??? What are you doing?"

Zhong Lixiu blinked and finally came to his senses. He had just woken up and his mind was not clear, so when he saw the person, he moved as he pleased and suppressed the person.

"Sorry." Zhong Lixiu's voice was a little hoarse. Cheng Jiuge felt something was wrong. He touched his forehead with one hand and found that it was very hot.

"Do you have a fever?" Cheng Jiuge frowned and sat up, grabbed his hand and began to check. Then he took out the communication talisman to send a message to Elder Hesong, "Elder, I am Jiuge. I'm sorry to bother you so late. My husband, he Now he has a fever, and when he checked his pulse, he found that the spiritual energy in his body was constantly fighting against an unknown force."

Elder Hesong: "It's okay, it's because of the medicine. If you're afraid that he'll be overheated and go crazy, you can practice the double cultivation technique I gave you. I remember there's a trick that can dissipate heat."

Cheng Jiuge's face began to heat up: "...Okay, thank you, elder."
