Chapter 128: The Dove’s Kiss and Roll [3]

The ghostly face on the Qilin Arm had recently learned not only to say "eat" but also "haha," making it impossible for Yan Yu to communicate with it, so he wasn’t sure if it truly agreed to his terms. But judging by how the Qilin Arm behaved in Fengmen Village, Yan Yu tentatively assumed the creature had consented.

Lin Xuan slammed the table and laughed heartily, “I told you that guy isn’t smart enough to be easily fooled, right?”

Yan Yu felt a bit guilty. “If we talk now, it won’t hear us, right?”

“Don’t worry, it’s very weak right now. Unless you’re in danger, it won’t bother spying on what’s happening outside.”

“What exactly is this thing inside my body?”

Lin Xuan smiled mysteriously. “You don’t need to know so much now. When the time comes, you’ll understand.”

“You’ve been saying that for over ten years…” Yan Yu really wanted to know when that time would be.

“Let’s not talk about that. Speaking of which, it seems the Lone Crow is after your classmate this time. You better keep an eye out; the Lone Crow might come looking for you.”

Yan Yu was startled. “What if he comes after me again, and I’m no match for him?”

“Don’t worry. Without his Straw Man, the Lone Crow is just a weakling who even you can bully. I doubt he’ll show up in the next few months. But if he refuses to give up on Yang Xuefei, he’ll probably send some of his subordinates,” Lin Xuan said.

The skill level of the Black-Clothed Disciples of the Guigu Sect rarely exceeded the Red or Purple ranks, and with the Qilin Arm’s power, Yan Yu could mostly handle them.

“Even though you have the Qilin Arm as a strong ally, that doesn’t mean you can slack off. When I’m not around, remember to train hard!”

Yan Yu rolled his eyes. “I’ve never been lazy. It’s clearly you who’s too lazy to teach me new skills.”

“Oh!” Lin Xuan reached into his pocket and pulled out a crumpled blue book, tossing it in front of Yan Yu. “I recently secretly learned this new skill. Don’t say I don’t take care of you.”

“Secretly learned?” Yan Yu was stunned. No wonder the skills his master taught him were so scattered and random — turns out he was just stealing lessons all along!

“Ahem… Don’t ask so many questions. Just learn it well!” Lin Xuan blushed. “Hey, madam, ten more skewers of large kidneys, extra spicy!”

Yan Yu and Lin Xuan drank themselves dizzy at a roadside stall until Zhao Qingqing finally led them home.

The next morning, when Yan Yu woke up, Lin Xuan had already packed and left.

“That old geezer always leaves in such a hurry,” Yan Yu muttered, holding his head as he got out of bed.

Lin Xuan was always like this — never saying goodbye, disappearing and showing up suddenly.

Having drunk too much the day before, Yan Yu was still reeking of alcohol. He slipped into the bathroom and took a refreshing cold shower.

After a while, Yan Yu stood behind the door and called out, “Qingqing, I forgot my towel. Can you bring it to me?”

Zhao Qingqing reluctantly floated out from a plush toy, pouting. “Am I still your little darling? Now you just boss me around!”

“Heh, I’ll make it up to you later.”

Carrying the towel to the bathroom door, Zhao Qingqing curiously asked, “How will you make it up to me?”

Before Yan Yu could answer, Zhao Qingqing caught sight of something unusual reflected on the glass shower door and asked suspiciously, “Honey, why are you secretly playing with a water gun in the bathroom?”

“…” Yan Yu was at a loss for words.

Click—

Just then, the door suddenly opened, and Su Han appeared outside, dragging a suitcase. “I’m back! What are you guys talking about?”

Zhao Qingqing exclaimed, “Xiao Su, hubby was secretly playing with a water gun in the bathroom early this morning!”

“…” Su Han.

Yan Yu hurried to explain, “I can explain!”

Playing with a water gun would be fine, but why describe it as “secretly”? It made him sound utterly shady!

Su Han shot Yan Yu a sharp glare. “When I’m not here, you and Qingqing play like this?”

“I’m not playing anything!”

“Gross, you actually said you’re playing!”

“…I’m playing ‘hammer’!”

“No swearing!”

Yan Yu sighed silently. “Fine, just pretend I’m playing with a water gun in the bathroom.”

Zhao Qingqing looked aggrieved. “Hubby always plays secretly and never takes me along.”

Su Han pondered, her beautiful eyes fixed on the reflection in the glass. “Leaving such a beautiful ghost wife untouched, playing with a water gun alone in the bathroom… do you have some problem in that department?”

“Do you want me to prove it to you?!” Yan Yu had had enough and made a move toward the bathroom door.

Su Han and Zhao Qingqing quickly covered their eyes, their pretty faces flushing. “You pervert.”

“Three days without a beating, the roof will cave in!” Yan Yu chuckled inwardly.

They really think I can’t handle both of them!?

Closing the door happily, drying off, Yan Yu changed into a clean set of clothes and came out.

Su Han, back from Lucity, was dressed in a tailored coat and was sitting on the sofa listening to Zhao Qingqing recount their recent experiences in Fengmen Village.

“Wang Fugui and the others died just like that? That’s far too easy on them!” Su Han was so angry she stomped her foot. “If I had been there, I’d have broken their water guns!”

Yan Yu suddenly felt a chill in his lower body.

“So, nothing happened while you were in Lucity?” Yan Yu changed the subject.

Su Han shook her head. “Just visited my parents and spent time with grandpa.”

“Didn’t the old man want you to stay and help with family business in Lucity?” Yan Yu asked curiously.

“...No.”

Mentioning this made Su Han a little embarrassed. She had expected the old man to want her to stay, but this time, Su Wu not only didn’t keep her but even hinted she should return to Rong City as soon as possible, as if eager to see her leave.

Moreover, Su Wu had casually told Su Han he didn’t mind the age difference; as long as she liked him, he liked her.

The most direct time was when Su Wu said to Su Han, “I think Yan Yu is a good kid. When are you two getting married?”

Of course, Su Han wouldn’t dare tell Yan Yu any of this.

Seeing Su Han suddenly blush, Yan Yu was baffled. “Teacher Su, we’ve only been apart a few days. You don’t need to miss me this much, do you?”

“Pigeon kiss, roll away!”

“What kind of kiss is a pigeon kiss?”

Zhao Qingqing noticed Yan Yu putting on his socks and asked, “Honey, are you going out?”

“Yes, going to the hospital to visit Yang Xuefei.”

Su Han teased, “Are you playing boyfriend for her again?”

“Do I need to pretend? With my charm, Yang Xuefei would be throwing herself at me in no time,” Yan Yu said with a touch of vanity, then added, “It wasn’t a coincidence that the Lone Crow came after Yang Xuefei. I’m just rushing over to check on her and find out why he’s targeting her.”

Upon hearing this, both women insisted on going along. Yan Yu didn’t refuse, and the three quickly got ready and headed to the hospital.
