Was System Shop updated?
Xu Chang’an’s expression changed.
Zhu Pingniang saw that Xu Chang’an was suddenly looking at her in a daze. She blinked strangely and followed Xu Chang’an’s gaze to find that he was looking at her leg.
“What are you looking at?” Zhu Pingniang said angrily.
“It’s nothing. Thank you Senior Zhu.” Xu Chang’an was not in a hurry to check the system store. Instead, he bowed respectfully to Zhu Pingniang.
The Chaoyun Sect was the largest immortal sect in Qingzhou. It was not easy to obtain a disciple spot there.
As one of the deacons of the Chaoyun Sect’s outer sect, Xu Chang’an knew that even if he entered the inner sect, it would be difficult for him to bring his wife into the sect.
But Zhu Pingniang did it.
Not only did Zhu Pingniang help him enter the immortal sect, she even took care of his wife.
Xu Chang’an firmly remembered this favor.
“If you want to thank someone, don’t thank me. It’s you who has the ability to make the girls of Sunset Rain Peak come to me every few days to put in a good word for you.” Zhu Pingniang smiled and said, “You’re their favorite inner manager. With your wife by your side, you won’t be as distracted as you are now. You can also serve those girls of Sunset Rain Peak better.”
“It’s my duty,” Xu Chang’an said seriously. As an outer sect disciple, his current identity was an internal affairs deacon.
“I like your serious look.” Zhu Pingniang curled her lips and bit her red lips. “In the past, I wouldn’t have let go of such an interesting child like you so easily.”
Xu Chang’an’s expression was calm. He did not waver at all because of Zhu Pingniang’s teasing.
“By the way, I heard from the girls that you planted a piece of spiritual fruit at the back of the courtyard that tastes very good?” Zhu Pingniang gently threw an embroidered pouch over and said, “This is a seed of the Beauty Fruit. Take it back and cultivate it. There are very few people who have the talent to nurture it now so I have less suitable fruits to eat. It’s really annoying.”
“Alright, I’ll arrange it when I get back.” Xu Chang’an took the pouch without any hesitation.
Zhu Pingniang had helped him so much. He would not refuse such a small matter.
“Little Chang’an.” Zhu Pingniang leaned forward and pressed her hands on his lap. She said, “Actually, I sometimes feel that with your personality, you’re not suitable to stay on Sunset Rain Peak. Perhaps Confucianism is the place you should go. Unfortunately, my relationship with the Acid Scholar is very bad, so I can’t help much.”
Xu Chang’an was about to say something when Zhu Pingniang interrupted him. “I was just saying. Next, I have something serious to ask you.”
“Business?” Xu Chang’an was slightly stunned.
Zhu Pingniang had already helped him so much, yet she did not call it serious business.
“The matter is…” Zhu Pingniang dragged out the last word.
Xu Changan held his breath.
Zhu Pingniang suddenly asked, “Are you prepared to take in concubines?”
Xu Chang’an’s expression froze.
Take a concubine?
The slightly cold face of his wife flashed across Xu Chang’an’s mind, and the stiffness in his eyes softened a lot. He shook his head. “I’ve never thought of it.”
“I see… Hmph, your wife acted early.” Zhu Pingniang waved her hand. “Alright, the girls in the shop asked me to ask you.”
In the eyes of the girls at the brothel, Xu Chang’an was young and promising. The key was that he never discriminated against the girls here.
Just based on this alone, not to mention the girls in the shop, even Zhu Pingniang, who regarded the girls as her own children, looked at Xu Chang’an in a different light.
The reason why she had a good impression of Xu Chang’an was that this child wouldn’t look at the girls in the brothel strangely.
“Chang’an, if you’re not going to take concubines, I’ll tell them directly.” Zhu Pingniang reminded Xu Chang’an, “There are more than one girl in the shop who likes you. It’s better to let them perish their thoughts as soon as possible.”
Xu Changan revealed a helpless expression.
“I understand… By the way, since you’re here, why don’t you listen to my new song?” Zhu Pingniang smiled.
Xu Chang’an was stunned. Then, he looked at the slightly erotic environment around him. “Senior, I…”
“Don’t tell me you don’t even agree to such a small request. It’s not like I’m going to tell your wife.” Zhu Pingniang smiled lightly. “If you think it doesn’t sound good, I’ll change it. Help me with a small favor.”
“Okay.” Xu Chang’an could only nod and sit down at the small table.
As the soft strings sounded, Zhu Pingniang rubbed her hands together, and a soft tune slowly flowed out from her hands.
During this period, Xu Changan closed his eyes and listened. He didn’t look at the girl playing the zither and focused on enjoying the rhythm of the zither.
Zhu Pingniang’s fingertips emitted a crisp sound like rain hitting a window. Accompanied by the soothing sound of the spring water, Xu Changan felt that this was really a form of enjoyment. No wonder so many men liked to listen to music.
Another moment passed.
Zhu Pingniang started humming a tune.
The sound of the zither accompanied her soft and pleasant voice, as if a pair of small hands were pushing her heart. It was indescribably alluring.
However, Xu Chang’an still did not react. At this moment, he was surrounded by the small spring of the zither music and felt relaxed.
After the song ended, Zhu Pingniang pressed her hands on the strings and extinguished the lingering sound. She looked at the delicate youth not far away, and a trace of satisfaction flashed across her eyes.
“How do you feel?” Zhu Pingniang asked.
“It’s very nice,” Xu Chang’an said seriously. “It’s the best music I’ve ever heard.”
“You make it sound like you’ve heard of music before.” Zhu Pingniang waved her hand and ordered hin to leave. “Go ahead.”
Xu Changan nodded. After bowing, he turned around and left.
“…”
Zhu Pingniang walked to Xu Chang’an’s seat and sat down. Her fingers brushed past the untouched wine glass in front of her and she shook her head.
What she played for Xu Chang’an was not a piece of music, but the sound of the setting sun. This song could maximize the dark side of others’ hearts when facing people whose cultivation was inferior to hers.
However, Xu Chang’an remained very calm and enjoyed it. He heard the sound of the spring water because he had a clear conscience.
Such talent was rare in the world. It would be a waste to be an outer sect deacon.
“He’s really a good child… I have to let the people in the sect take good care of him.”
Zhu Pingniang tapped her fingers on the table and sighed. “He’s just not very smart.”
What did he mean by writing the wrong demon eradication order?
Xu Chang’an didn’t even use his brain to think. How could there be such a stupid girl on Sunset Rain Peak? His senior sister had deliberately chosen a weak green-eyed tiger. She would rather be fined with spirit stones to think of a way to give Xu Chang’an the Origin Pill that he needed to break through.
She even specially found the mountain closest to Xu Chang’an and calculated that she would definitely clean up after him.
Most importantly, Xu Chang’an really killed the green-eyed tiger. He probably only cared about his wife at home and didn’t think too much about it.
Zhu Ping’s mother could not comment on the female disciple’s immature and reckless methods, but Xu Chang’an, who could not even see through such immature methods, could actually marry. No matter how she thought about it, it was his wife who took the initiative.
Zhu Pingniang pursed her lips and smiled.
Although Xu Chang’an had made it clear that he only loved his wife, Zhu Pingniang was not prepared to let the girls at home give up.
She wanted to see… if that boring, inflexible, and ordinary wife of his, could hold her husband’s heart.
As she was thinking, Zhu Pingniang’s door was suddenly kicked open. She raised her eyebrows and said angrily, “Stupid girl, can’t you be quieter?”
The little girl pounced into Zhu Pingniang’s arms aggrievedly. She raised her head and pursed her lips. “Aunt Tong, the little tiger I just bought was killed. Look at the sword qi. It was done by your sect!”
Zhu Pingniang’s eyes twitched as she looked in the direction Xu Changan had left.
Good lord, he was so accurate.
