After Becoming the Hero’s Ex-fiancée - Chapter 160

To the Lantern Market (1)

Cui Wang did not speak.

His white robe was soaked by the warm spring water and was floating in the middle of the spring. In the dense mist, it looked like a water lily in bloom.

Zheng Wan didn’t force him either. If he said he did, she would naturally be happy about it; but if he said he didn’t, she didn’t really care either. She just left him to his thoughts. Also, she wasn’t very worried about having offended Ming Yu Zhenjun today.

That was a person who would only take action against the people she disliked, and would never harm the innocent— Zheng Wan’s parents were safe for sure. If Zheng Wan had been dealing with an unscrupulous person today, she wouldn’t have dared to go head-to-head with them.

After all, she was still too weak.

Zheng Wan sighed inwardly, and her expression didn’t look very happy.

“Are you feeling unhappy?” Cui Wang suddenly said.

“Mhm.”
Zheng Wan nodded solemnly, “I’m not happy.”

She kicked him under the water with her little foot.
“I’m hungry.”

Splash——
In the sound of splashing water, Cui Wang stepped out of the spring. With a flick of his sleeves, he rolled Zheng Wan into his arms.

She felt her body lift in the air and fall into Cui Wang’s arms like a peeled white egg. She looked at him in surprise, only to see his cold neckline and a chin that was like an ice sculpture.

“Cui Wang, you…”

Zheng Wan was placed gently on the settee. She watched Cui Wang silently take out a stack of clothes from his interdimensional pouch and put them on the side of the settee, then pushed the door open and went out.

“…”
She sat up curiously, took a folded pile and shook it out. It was a but saw that it was a crabapple red trailing celestial dress. She couldn’t tell what material it was, but it was cold to the touch. The skirts bloomed out, looking like a thousand-petal lotus that was unique to the Heavenly Realms, and was extremely beautiful.

Next to it, there were also inner garments and a dudou, which looked familiar to Zheng Wan——
If she ignored the formations that have been added to it, that is.

Blushing, Zheng Wan silently put on the dudou and inner garments. As she was wearing the dresss, she thought to herself that she shouldn’t keep lying to him before the love gu was dispelled, and that she ought to be better to him.
After all, he gave her such a beautiful cultivator’s dress.

“Indeed, even though this dress made of millennium ice silk is not as good as the Heavenly Incandescent Robes, it still costs several hundred medium-grade Yuan stones each. It’s impervious to water and fire, and there’s even a Heart Cleansing Formation on it. It can withstand the full force of a blow by a Savant-rank cultivator. This ex-lover of yours… is rather thoughtful.”

“Granny Jin, you’re out?”

“Mhm. It wasn’t easy.”
Granny Jin said, “At the rockery just now, I became blind again. Your lover-boy is really domineering. What’s wrong with letting a woman like me watch for a while?”

Over here, while one person complained about “what’s wrong with letting a woman watch for a while”, on the other side, an ancient cultivator who has lived for God knows how long was also shouting, “I’m a man who’s been long ‘dead’, what’s wrong with letting me watch for a while? Is there a need to seal all my five senses and throw me into the little black room?”

When he saw what Cui Wang was doing, he made a big fuss, “Little Wangwang, what are you doing? Burning the kitchen?”

Cui Wang got Ah Wan to control the fire, then put noodles into the pot.
The noodles made of top-grade Yuan rice were so transparent that they looked like crystal noodles, and they softened shortly after being put in the pot. He grabbed some chopped scallions and threw them in, then dished everything out.

He carried it out of the kitchen and went to the warm pavilion.

The old ancestor sighed.
“My great grandson, with how you are, you’re still stubbornly saying that this isn’t ‘like’?”

“Of course this isn’t ‘like’.”

Cui Wang looked at the lanterns in front of the warm pavilion. The yellowish light shone brightly on one’s heart. He lifted his feet and went up the steps, his white robe swaying by his feet, and said matter-of-factly, “If it’s ‘like’, it should be as gentle as the countryside wind and as warm as the sun in the sky, rather than stormy waves and violent sandstorms. “

“Then, Little Wangwang, tell this old ancestor— for what reason are you buying clothes and jewellery and even cooking noodles for her?”

Cui Wang paused in his steps.
“I have reached the middle stage of the Pure Veracity rank. Before dispelling the love gu, I’ll just let it do what it wants for a while.”

“…So, you’ve become affectionate with that bug, huh? You’re. Really. Amazing.”
The old ancestor snorted and crossed his legs. “I won’t care about you anymore.”

Cui Wang also ignored him; he raised his hand and pushed the door open.

A slender girl in red stood inside. When she turned her head and saw that it was him, she smiled before saying, “Cui Wang!”

She swooped over like a joyous butterfly and spun around in front of him, her gorgeous skirt blooming as if it were a poisonous fiery thousand-petal lotus. “Cui Wang, look, does it look good?”

Cui Wang’s brows relaxed slightly, then tightened in a flashed.
“Yes.”

She smiled immediately.

Her little face was exquisite and fair, and the red jade bead earrings in her ears made her skin seem even more crystal clear. Her eyes were narrowed into upturned crescents and were filled with undulating waters, which shone brightly when they fell upon the porcelain bowl in his hand.
