Chapter 265: Chapter 265

Master Old Ghost flicked Zhang Xiaohao’s head with his finger, not too gently

"You brat, getting all skillful, huh? Now you even dare to mess with your master," Master Old Ghost said.

"Hehe," Zhang Xiaohao chuckled.

"Hand it over." Master Old Ghost waved his little finger.

"Here!" Zhang Xiaohao took out an exquisitely crafted jade vial and handed it over.

The jade vial contained nine Great Five Elements Spirit Pills.

"Let’s go outside! I bet your little wife is getting impatient," Master Old Ghost said with a mysterious smile.

He flicked his sleeve.

Waved his hand and dispelled the domain’s aura in the room.

"Are you okay?" Cheng Tianxue asked with concern.

Seeing Zhang Xiaohao come out of the room, she couldn’t care about the others around her, her eyes reddened as she rushed up to him.

She hugged Zhang Xiaohao of her own initiative.

"Uh!" Zhang Xiaohao was startled.

The scene unfolding before him was quite unexpected.

He really didn’t anticipate that Cheng Tianxue, with her icy and proud nature, would take the initiative to hug him in front of everyone.

Zhang Xiaohao hugged her tightly, a happy smile on his face.

In his heart, he wished that time would completely stop at this moment, preserving this beautiful scene forever.

"Cough! Cough!" Just then, a coughing sound came from Master Old Ghost behind them.

"Ah!" Cheng Tianxue’s beautiful face flushed red, and she quickly broke free from Zhang Xiaohao’s embrace.

Within a breath’s time, her face returned to its previous state, keeping others at bay with her proud, icy demeanor.

"Master! Couldn’t you have waited a bit longer before coughing?" Zhang Xiaohao complained.

"Hmph!" Cheng Tianxue huffed lightly.

She took the initiative to approach Master Old Ghost.

"Master, nice to meet you, I’m Cheng Tianxue. You can just call me Xiao Xue," Cheng Tianxue said with a smile.

"Hmm, not bad! As beautiful as a fairy, Xiaohao is lucky to have you as a wife—a blessing from his past life! If he ever dares not to behave, you can beat him up. If he dares to fight back, tell me, and I’ll vent for you," Master Old Ghost said approvingly.

"Thank you, Master!" Cheng Tianxue said.

"Master, you’re playing favorites," Zhang Xiaohao mumbled. Follow current novels on 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦•𝘯𝘦𝘵

"You shut up! If you keep talking nonsense, I’ll deal with you," Master Old Ghost chided him.

He took out a red jade pendant about two fingers in size.

"Since you’ve called me Master, it wouldn’t be right if I didn’t give you a welcoming gift. This little thing here is a small token from me. Carry this Dragon Pattern Jade Pendant with you," Master Old Ghost said with a smile.

"Thank you, Master!" Cheng Tianxue said with thanks.

She took the Dragon Pattern Jade Pendant and wore it at her waist right away.

"Master, you’re being unfair!" Cheng Qingsu pouted.

"Eh! Xiaohao, you lucky dog! Two wives! And twins at that!" Master Old Ghost exclaimed in surprise.

"Ugh!" Zhang Xiaohao felt speechless inside.

Inside, he might be thinking so, but he hadn’t yet made a move.

Seeing Cheng Tianxue’s cold gaze turn towards him.

"Master, don’t talk nonsense. This is Qingsu, Xue’er’s sister, my sister-in-law," Zhang Xiaohao hurriedly explained.

"Hmm," Master Old Ghost responded.

He gave Zhang Xiaohao a knowing look.

Living with Master Old Ghost for so many years, even a casual glance could convey a wealth of meaning to Zhang Xiaohao.

Master Old Ghost’s look seemed to say, a sister-in-law is a brother-in-law’s intimate little fairy. You’ve still got work to do, kid!

"Master! You gave my sister a gift, I want one too, you can’t be so biased!" Cheng Qingsu acted cute.

"Hehe," Master Old Ghost chuckled mysteriously.

He regarded Cheng Qingsu with seriousness, having already discerned that she was a cultivator.

Stretching his hand into his bosom, he pulled out a yellowed secret manual and handed it over.

"Here, this is for you," Master Old Ghost said.

"Thank you, Master!" Cheng Qingsu said excitedly.

She quickly stowed the manual away.

"Master Old Ghost, dinner’s ready. Let’s eat!" Mr. Cheng called out.

"Mm." Master Old Ghost nodded.

He was just about to walk towards the dining table.

Then he stopped in his tracks.

"Meeting me must also be a kind of fate for you. Take this!" Master Old Ghost said.

Saying so, he took a Cultivation Technique from within his clothes and tossed it to Sun Dafu.

"The humble one thanks Master Old Ghost!" Sun Dafu said excitedly.

He hadn’t expected to receive a meeting gift as well.

"Follow Xiaohao and work hard; the fortune to come will certainly benefit you infinitely!" Master Old Ghost reminded.

Under Mr. Cheng’s summons, everyone sat down at the dining table.

"Master, have some of this!"

Cheng Tianxue and Cheng Qingsu, as though they had become new people, enthusiastically offered food to Master Old Ghost.

It was somewhat understandable for Qingsu, but Tianxue had changed from her usual aloof self to being quite diligent.

After the meal was finished,

Master Old Ghost waved his hand, sending Zhang Xiaohao and the other two upstairs.

He then started playing chess with Mr. Cheng.

In the upstairs room.

"Brat, why are you coming in here? I’ve got ’that time of the month’ tonight and it’s inconvenient! I want to sleep alone; you go to the next room over and sleep there tonight." Cheng Tianxue said with a cold face.

"Sis, I’m not a three-year-old kid. You think I can’t guess what’s going on? Can’t you use a less childish excuse?" Cheng Qingsu said.

"Very well! You brat, you’ve even learned to talk back now, haven’t you? Let’s see how I deal with you!" Cheng Tianxue said angrily.

"Sis, even if you beat me to death tonight, I’m not leaving," Cheng Qingsu insisted stubbornly.

"You won’t leave, huh? Fine, then we’ll leave," Cheng Tianxue said.

With that, she headed toward the door.

"Sis, wherever you go tonight, I’ll follow!" Cheng Qingsu said triumphantly.

"Brat, are you itching for a beating? Three days without a lesson, and you forget your own surname, don’t you?" Cheng Tianxue said fiercely.

"Sis, even if you talk until flowers fall from the sky tonight, I’m sticking with you," Cheng Qingsu said, her eyes wide with determination.

"Alright then! I’ll start by giving you a good beating," Cheng Tianxue said, furious.

She rolled up her sleeves, ready to take action.

"Wait!" Zhang Xiaohao said, interrupting.

"Hmph! What do you want to say?" Cheng Tianxue asked coldly.

"Xue’er, you go inside first. I have a way to get Qingsu to leave," Zhang Xiaohao said with a mysterious smile.

Cheng Tianxue eyed Zhang Xiaohao suspiciously, then gave Cheng Qingsu an annoyed look and, with a snort, went into the inner room.

"Brother-in-law, don’t think I don’t know what sneaky plans you’re making! Hmph, you want me to leave? I’m telling you, it’s not going to happen," Cheng Qingsu said smugly.

Zhang Xiaohao produced a Great Five Elements Spirit Pill.

As soon as the Great Five Elements Spirit Pill appeared, it emitted a rich fragrance.

"This is called the Great Five Elements Spirit Pill, and it’s something I prepared especially for you. To get it, I went through a lot of trouble, nearly lost my life even," Zhang Xiaohao explained leisurely.
