A lazy bum transmigrates and marries a eunuch – it's awesome!

Chapter 178 Sweetness

Jiang Xinyu woke up as soon as Xiao Yuan entered the tent. She felt his fluffy head rubbing against her and chuckled as she reached out to rub it.

The two, having been separated for so long, naturally had endless things to say to each other.

Xiao Yuan knew why his wife had traveled so far to find him, and he felt a mix of heartache, gratitude, and bittersweet helplessness.

Sigh, my wife loves me so much (/≧▽≦)/~

Although he felt it was a spoilsport, Xiao Yuan briefly recounted Yan Fei's testimony to Jiang Xinyu.

He then gently kissed the lady's earlobe and softly urged her to return to Xuzhou City and wait for him.

It wasn't that he didn't believe in his wife's abilities, but he couldn't bear to see her suffer because traveling with the army was too arduous.

Besides, it really is quite inconvenient.

In the army, which is full of men, there are no rules. It's common for them to go shirtless or urinate when they get hot while working. He didn't want to offend his wife's eyes.

Jiang Xinyu could have refuted any claims about the hardships and dangers of disaster relief, but she specifically brought up this aspect.

The ancient Chinese emphasis on strict separation between men and women is a reason that is truly irrefutable.

But whether it was out of fear of offending the lady's eyes or out of fear that the lady would take a fancy to another man's body, that was an open secret.

Seeing Xiao Yuan's red ears and serious expression, Jiang Xinyu chuckled, while drawing circles on his chest with one finger.

"Alright, whatever you say. But let's not go back to Xuzhou. Wouldn't Yongzhou County be fine too?"

I'm worried because we're so far apart. Here's what we'll do: you can continue your disaster relief efforts along the way, and we'll meet up in the city.

When you leave again, I'll ride as fast as I can to the next county town to wait for you.

If you need any help, please send a message quickly. The journey between the two sections can be completed in a day on horseback, so it won't cause any delay.

Since the lady had traveled a long way to the disaster area, it wasn't so easy to persuade her to stay. Xiao Yuan thought about it and decided it was a good idea.

Conditions in county towns are generally better, and with ample food supplies for this disaster relief effort, there shouldn't be any major problems.

After the two reached a preliminary agreement, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but present his treasure to his wife.

Seeing the large stack of silver notes and several boxes of precious jewelry that her husband brought, Jiang Xinyu praised him and even gave him a kiss.

Xiao Yuan's smile was harder to suppress than an AK; if he had a tail, it would probably be wagging so hard it'd leave afterimages.

The value of an item lies not only in its intrinsic worth but also in its emotional value.

The thrill of receiving money couldn't compare to the praise from his wife. These jewels were worth more than anything else in exchange for her affections.

No wonder so many men who weren't well-off to begin with emptied their pockets just to hear young women thank them repeatedly.

This feeling of overflowing vanity can indeed be very intoxicating.

The two were just getting cozy when they heard a report from the doorway that Little Bean had arrived, and the people following him carried in a large wooden box.

When Eunuch Dou saw the table full of jewels and silver notes laid out by the supervisor, how could he not understand what was going on?

He didn't show it on his face, but in his heart he couldn't help but think that his master was worthless.

What's the difference between a supervisor like this and a child who gets 100 points on a test and immediately shows it off to their parents?

Naïve, superficial, and impatient, no wonder he's completely under the control of his wife.

With all the money you've made, shouldn't you just slam your banknotes on the table, sit down with an air of superiority, and wait for your wife to give you a shoulder massage?

You've made a terrible mess of being the head of this household.

Who invited you to watch this if you can't bear to look?

Seeing that Xiao Douzi hadn't even left after delivering the goods, Xiao Yuan secretly glared at him.

This idiot is getting more and more clueless. Can't he see I'm trying to please my wife?

Alright, this servant will take his leave now, so as not to delay your coquettishness any longer.

After Xiao Douzi left, Xiao Yuanzi opened the box, puffed out his chest, and waited smugly for the lady's exclamation.

"Wow, a whole box of ginseng!"

"My husband, you're amazing! How can you be so wonderful? I love you to death!"

Bah bah bah!

Jiang Xinyu was worried about not having enough supplements to upgrade her superpowers when Xiao Yuan gave her such a big surprise.

This guy doesn't know anything about being reserved; he hugged Xiao Yuan and almost kissed him so hard his lips were swollen.

Hey!

As he held his wife, who was clinging to him, Xiao was radiant with happiness, a sense of pride as a husband welling up within him.

Whether it's his money, his power, or his body, only what brings happiness to his wife is of any use.

If we categorize by degree, Xiao Yuan could be considered to be in the late stage of being love-struck and has given up on treatment.

He doesn't even need Jiang Xinyu to manipulate him; he's already taken great care of himself.

Fortunately, he met the right person, otherwise he would have been swindled out of everything in no time.

Jiang Xinyu was extremely satisfied with her husband, Xiao Yuan. Although he used to be a bit of a jerk, he was easy to train.

He's loyal, obedient, and eager to learn. Once he steps into the ranks of good husbands, he's on a runaway path that no one can stop.

Don't think she doesn't know; many servants in the manor feel sorry for their supervisor.

She always felt that her family was not prominent and she was not gentle and virtuous enough to deserve the endless pampering of their master.

But none of them dared to be defiant in front of her, probably because they knew she was not someone to be trifled with, or because they had been reprimanded by Xiao Yuan for uttering even a single word or two.

Such a good man must be extremely rare in the Great Jin Dynasty. I am once again grateful to myself for having the courage to arrange the marriage.

Choice is more important than effort; a single marriage exchange can bring lifelong benefits.

Having received several surprises from Xiao Yuan, Jiang Xinyu knew to reciprocate, so she waved her hand and performed a move called "Hidden Universe in the Sleeve".

Seeing the several boxes of jewelry and ginseng disappear from his sight, Xiao Yuan was stunned for a moment, then his pupils shrank and his expression changed drastically. He hugged Jiang Xinyu tightly, his body trembling slightly.

No, this reaction is wrong.

Jiang Xinyu was a little confused. She wanted to give Xiao Yuan a surprise, but how did it turn into a shock?

Does this guy think he's a monster?

That doesn't make sense either. If it knew it was a monster, it should have screamed and run away. Why is it holding it in its arms?

To be honest, Xiao Yuan really did see Jiang Xinyu as a demon.

He wasn't afraid the demon would eat him; he was only afraid the demon wouldn't want him.

The Great Jin Dynasty is essentially a small world evolved from a novel, so the gods, Buddhas, and various myths and legends are no different from the real world. Naturally, there are also stories of love between humans and demons, such as the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl.

Xiao Yuan had long suspected Jiang Xinyu's unusually large appetite and increased strength.

But he dared not say or ask anything, for fear that if he exposed the lady's identity, she would not be able to be with him.

In the past, the increase in power could be explained by martial arts, but now this kind of magical transformation is just magic.

Why did the lady demonstrate this to him?

Is she trying to confront him?

Is it that the demon from the lady's maternal family has come looking for her, and the lady is about to leave?

Don't you want him anymore?

What about their passionate lovemaking yesterday? Was it a final frenzy or a parting thought?

Xiao Yuan's tendency to overthink and his lack of self-confidence resurfaced.

The more he thought about it, the more outrageous and frightening it became. Before Jiang Xinyu could say anything, he was already pale and his eyes were red from his own delusions.

Jiang Xinyu knew he was thinking the wrong thing again when she heard him muttering that he didn't want her to leave, so she could only let him hug her and explain slowly.

She is not a monster; she was a human before, she is a human now, and she will be a human in the future…

As long as Xiao Yuan doesn't change his mind, she can still be a decent human being.

Xiao Yuan immediately grasped the key point in her words, "Madam, you hesitated. You might not be human in the future, right?"

Jiang Xinyu chuckled and pinched him. "What, you've changed your mind, can't I be a beast for once?"

I don't know what you're thinking all day long. Didn't I tell you not to overthink things?

Have you forgotten all the stories I told you?

"Do you also want to find a Taoist priest to burn me alive?"

Xiao Yuan immediately shook his head in horror.

How could he possibly burn his wife? As long as she's willing to have him, he'd rather retire to the mountains with her and live in the Fairy Cave.

He may not have magic, but he has martial arts skills, which always allow his wife to catch prey to eat.
