Chapter 75: Chapter 75: Closer to Her

Mei Qingchen was also quite frustrated at this moment.

He looked at the three people who were at odds with him, and awkwardly said, "It’s not me!"

"I didn’t plan to do anything."

"Especially not during your mealtime."

He still remembered saying before that he would never eat anything prepared by Su Muyao.

Yet whenever he was at home, he could smell the enticing aroma of the food.

But having said those words, he couldn’t just go back on them.

So, during these days, Mei Qingchen kept away from home.

"The wife helped repair my Lifebound Sword, I wouldn’t dare to do anything to her."

"I just couldn’t control this sword, it came over on its own."

His Lifebound Sword had Spiritual Energy, and he had no idea why it flew over to the kitchen.

The aroma was already strong, and now being in the kitchen, the smell of the bread was even more tempting.

It was simply torturing.

He had never smelled anything so delicious and didn’t know how it tasted.

As he spoke, Mei Qingchen’s gaze involuntarily fell on the bread on the table.

He couldn’t fathom how Su Muyao managed it.

There were also these long, thin foods and the reddish sauce beside them, which he’d never seen before.

Hua Linye glanced over at the direction of Mei Qingchen’s gaze and said, "These are fries made by the wife using potatoes and ketchup she made herself with sugar and tomatoes. They’re very delicious."

"It’s a shame you don’t want to eat the wife’s cooking; naturally, we wouldn’t force you."

Who could blame him for saying such things earlier, upsetting the wife.

Hua Linye crossed his arms and said, "Not to mention, this is your Lifebound Sword and you couldn’t control it?"

"Or are you trying to blame the wife for this?"

"The wife spent a lot of superpower repairing your Lifebound Sword, you should know better than anyone how your sword is now."

Hua Linye’s fox-like eyes narrowed with a fierce glint.

Mei Qingchen was confronted by Wen Nanxi and the others, feeling as if his face was being pressed to the ground.

He took a deep breath and had to explain, "I know the Lifebound Sword has been repaired, I didn’t come to cause trouble."

He knew well that the Lifebound Sword was sharper and better than before.

It also greatly enhanced his superpower.

He was very satisfied with the repaired sword.

He also knew it was thanks to Su Muyao.

Although he had complaints about Su Muyao, he wouldn’t distort the truth.

"If you don’t believe, I’ll control it and show you."

It was utterly shameful.

His own Lifebound Sword was out of control.

Mei Qingchen used his superpower to control the Lifebound Sword, "Come here!"

But the Lifebound Sword refused to obey and remained active in front of Su Muyao.

Su Muyao stood up from her chair and moved inside to avoid the sword, but the sword just followed her.

Su Muyao showed a surprised expression, really?

Was it attached to her?

"I just repaired this sword for you, didn’t tamper with it at all!"

Mei Qingchen’s expression grew even gloomier, "I know!"

It was his own sword, he naturally understood it.

Su Muyao indeed didn’t tamper with it at all.

The sword had just become more advanced.

Mei Qingchen went over to Su Muyao and directly grabbed the sword, pulling it outside.

But the sword seemed to struggle with him, leaning towards Su Muyao.

Su Muyao, fearing Mei Qingchen was looking for trouble, emphasized, "This is your Lifebound Sword, it has nothing to do with me!"

Mei Qingchen felt a surge of frustration, stuck in his chest, unable to be released.

Mei Qingchen gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, it has nothing to do with you!"

Couldn’t say that the sword wanted to be close to her!

This was his Lifebound Sword, he could feel its emotions.

That’s why he was so frustrated.

Mei Qingchen couldn’t move the sword at all, his face flushing bright red.

He had never been so embarrassed and helpless before.

Ultimately, with resignation, he slashed his finger, letting a drop of blood fall on the sword to forcibly control it.

This time, the sword became obedient.

At this moment, a captivating sandalwood aroma filled the room.

Being right next to Mei Qingchen, Su Muyao naturally smelled it clearly.

Was this the fragrance of his blood?

Previously, the Ice and Snow Spirit Beast’s blood had a fragrance, with effects like a spiritual pill, capable of attracting a Beast Tide.

Could Mei Qingchen’s blood have something special too?

Hopefully, it won’t attract Mutated Beasts!

Wen Nanxi’s expression changed and said, "Your Mei Family’s blood might cause unnecessary trouble."

Mei Qingchen’s face grew even colder, if he could control the sword, he wouldn’t have to do this.

Su Muyao realized something and quickly stepped forward, using her superpower to wrap around his finger.

Directly stopping the bleeding and healing the wound, "I’m not saving you, I’m just afraid your blood will cause trouble."

Mei Qingchen almost spat blood upon hearing this.

He stiffened and said, "Alright, I understand."

He picked up the sword and left immediately.

He felt he couldn’t stay at home any longer, or else this sword would cling to Su Muyao every day, which would be troublesome.

So Mei Qingchen left with his sword that night.

Everyone was used to him not being home and no one cared where he went.

Anyway, with him not at home, Su Muyao was more at ease.

...

In a blink of an eye, market day was approaching.

At the crack of dawn, Su Muyao got up early.

Even though everything was prepared, it was still necessary to get up early and pack.

Plus, the Beiluo Tribe was over ten miles away from the nearest Yunxiao City, taking over an hour or two to walk there.

However, if Wen Nanxi and the others carried her, they would travel faster.

They would probably arrive in about half an hour.

When Su Muyao got up, she saw Wen Nanxi and the other two were already awake.

They even had breakfast ready.

Su Muyao was quite surprised, "Why did you all get up so early?"

It was only just after four in the morning.

But it got light early these days, just past five.

Wen Nanxi calmly said, "Being early means a better spot at the market."

Hua Linye nodded and said, "Yes, wife, if we go late, there might only be spots in the corners."

"A better spot would sell things better."

They all knew Su Muyao valued this market exchange greatly.

Xiao Jihan added, "There are over a dozen tribes near Yunxiao City, and many Beastmen will come to the market."

"A little late, and the stalls would all be taken."

Su Muyao moved slightly, naturally hoping for a good spot.

Su Muyao quickly washed up, and after they all had breakfast, they packed up and set off early.

But when it was time to leave, all three wanted to carry Su Muyao.

Wen Nanxi naturally transformed into a snake, came forward, and said, "I’ll carry the wife."

Hua Linye retorted, "You’re a snake, you have no fur, the wife would be uncomfortable. I’ll carry the wife; I’m covered in Fox Fur, which would be more comfortable to hold."

Xiao Jihan, usually silent, joined in, "My true form is a black wolf, much faster. Carrying the wife would be quicker."
