Everyone has their own principles and bottom line.

Xia Fan is no exception.

Just as he will marry Dong Chae-ling.

On the one hand, this was Dong Cailing's willing choice, and she was not forced to make this choice.

If you want to get something, you have to give something.

Since she wants to avenge her father, since she wants to get back everything that belongs to her.

And the only price she can pay is herself.

On the other hand.

Xia Fan needs to try to live a different life.

Married life.

Because this is a life that he has not been exposed to in two lifetimes.

The two hit it off.

Naturally, they became a superficial couple.

Xia Fan didn't touch Dong Cailing, and he had already made it very clear.

It's not that he doesn't want to touch, and he's not a eunuch.

It's that he has an emotional cleanliness fetish.

He does not rule out hyper-friendship relationships with women.

But what he can't accept is that they don't have feelings for each other, but grow up with each other.

If not.

Xia Fan didn't know how many women he had with before.

Again.

His needs in this respect are completely different from those of ordinary people.

It is easy for ordinary people to indulge in this aspect of physical desire.

And Xia Fan, a person who cultivates to the realm, has long been out of this low-level interest.

They no longer focus on physical union, but on the resonance and sublimation of each other's spirit and soul.

Xia Fan is not a special case.

In fact, the cultivation world is dominated by single dogs.

In the eyes of the practitioners.

The choice of a Taoist companion is one of the most important things to be careful about on the path of cultivation.

Mutual understanding, mutual tolerance, mutual support, and mutual support.

This is the real Taoist.

Therefore.

Cultivators all uphold the attitude of preferring lack to abundance in the selection of Taoist companions.

Only cultivators who know that the path is hopeless will not care about this.

This is the case with Dong Cailing.

She knew that in this life, she would be able to reach the realm of an innate great grandmaster.

She didn't dare to think about it in the Martial Saint Realm any higher, let alone the Human Immortal Realm.

If she had such talent.

Then it is absolutely impossible for her to marry Xia Fan.

The reality is that she doesn't.

So she could only agree to Xiao Ming's conditions and use herself as a bargaining chip to marry Xia Fan.

Is it pathetic?

In the words of the emperor, this is life.

Life is inherently unfair.

Some people are born with nobility, and some people are born hungry and cold.

Some people are born talented, and some people are born dull and mediocre.

Some people are born to be European emperors, and some people are born to be non-chieftains.

Then they put each other on a stage that does not belong to each other, and perform a script that is not each other's choice.

At this moment.

Dong Cailing, who was lying on the bed carefully, had mixed feelings.

Less than a foot away from her lay her titular husband.

After listening to Xia Fan's speech just now.

Dong Cailing didn't know whether to feel happy or sad.

The more I came into contact with Xia Fan.

The more Dong Cailing couldn't understand this man.

"You know what? When a woman becomes curious about a man, it means that the woman is not far from falling. ”

Suddenly.

The low voice that sounded in his ears brought back to his senses when he was in a state of confusion.

“...... Hasn't you slept yet?"

Dong Cailing was silent for a moment.

"I used to sleep alone, but now it's hard to sleep with one person next to my pillow. ”

Xia Fan said in a lazy tone.

“...... Does that husband need me to leave?"

Dong Cailing Silver Tooth bit her lip lightly and said.

"Dong Cailing. ”

Xia Fan called her name.

"In. ”

Dong Cailing said subconsciously.

"Are we husband and wife?"

Xia Fan said.

“...... Be. ”

East Choi Ling Road.

"So do husbands and wives still need to be so polite and restrained?"

Xia Fan said.

“......”

Dong Cailing was silent.

"Dong Cailing, turn your head. ”

Xia Fan said again.

“......”

Dong Cailing heard this.

Then he slowly twisted his slightly stiff neck and looked at Xia Fan next to the pillow.

And Xia Fan also turned his head to look at her, but those deep eyes were extremely calm, not mixed with anything else, which invisibly gave people a sense of reassurance.

"Dong Cailing, since I am already your husband, from now on, I will also be your most solid backing. ”

"Don't be afraid, no one in this world will hurt you without my permission. ”

"Dong Cailing, you don't have to care about me, all you have to do is to be yourself again. ”

Xia Fan said in a soft voice.

“...... Husband, can I ask you a question?"

Dong Cailing's eyelashes are beautiful in the blink of a blink.

This time.

She didn't run away from Xia Fan's gaze anymore.

Just stared at him in a daze.

"Just ask. ”

Xia Fan smiled.

"Who is the husband?"

Dong Cailing plucked up his courage and said.

"Who do you think I am?"

Xia Fan asked without answering.

“...... The husband is like a real recluse. ”

Dong Cailing hesitated for a moment.

"No, I'm not a reclusive master, I'm just a very vulgar ordinary person. ”

Xia Fan said casually.

“...... Husband, if you are really just an ordinary person, how can you cultivate such a powerful person?"

Dong Cailing smiled bitterly.

She was referring to them.

Nature refers to Xiao Ming them.

"So you can infer from this that I should be more powerful in teaching and cultivating them, right?"

Xia Fan chuckled.

"Isn't it?"

Dong Cailing bit her lip and said.

"Yes and no, your husband is indeed very powerful, super powerful, but what, your current husband is a very lazy and lazy person, he has nothing to do all day long, he will never stand when he can sit, he will never sit when he can lie down, even if someone makes trouble in the inn, if anyone wants to kill me, let them do it, you see, this is not like a salted fish?"

Xia Fan said lazily.

“...... Why?"

Dong Cailing looked at Xia Fandao with complicated eyes.

"What, why?"

Xia Fan said.

"Why did the husband choose to be willing... Mediocrity?"

Dong Cailing took a deep breath and airway.

"Actually, you're talking about self-depravity, right?"

Xia Fan said with a smile in his eyes.

"Do you think this is really a depravity?"

“...... Isn't it?"

Dong Chae-ling's doubts overcame cowardice.

"Then what do you think I should do? Rely on my own strength to dominate the world in the cultivation world? Admittedly, I can do it now, but does it make sense to me?"

Xia Fan said with a smile.

“...... I do not know. ”

Dong Cailing said with a blank look in his eyes.

"I've passed this stage of my life, and you're just getting started, and one day you'll know what your heart really wants to seek, and it's really worth pursuing. ”

Xia Fan slowly stretched out his hand and scratched Dong Cailing's Xiaoqiong nose.

“...... What is that husband really looking for?"

Dong Cailing didn't care about Xia Fan's intimate behavior, and still looked at him in a daze.

"Actually, I haven't figured it out yet, especially when you let go of a lot of things, and for now, I just want to be a good husband for you. ”

Xia Fan said lightly.

“...... I will also be a good wife for my husband. ”

Dong Cailing subconsciously looked away from looking at Xia Fan.

"Sleep. ”

After speaking.

Xia Fan turned his head, closed his eyes and didn't move.

After some exchanges.

Dong Cailing found that she was a lot more relieved, and she didn't have too many cranky thoughts in her head.

She glanced cautiously at Xia Fan, who seemed to be asleep.

Just now.

Is he just talking to himself so much to put himself at ease?

This night.

Dong Cailing didn't fall asleep.

Her eyes were closed.

But man is sober.

Early morning.

When Xia Fan's lazy yawn sounded in his ears.

The first time.

Dong Cailing opened his eyes.

"Husband, are you awake?"

"No, I'm going to sleep a little longer. ”

Xia Fan said listlessly.

"Then I'm ......"

Dong Cailing hesitated.

"Go ahead and sleep well with me, I know you haven't slept all night. ”

Xia Fan turned his body and looked at Dong Cailing Dao with wistful eyes.

"Dong Cailing, well, it's better to call you Cailing in the future, so it's more intimate, don't worry about what I'll do to you, don't think about other things, now, you can let yourself sleep well." ”

“...... I can't sleep. ”

Dong Cailing said in a low voice.

"Simple, come, look me in the eye. ”

Xia Fan smiled.

“......”

Dong Cailing immediately turned her head to look at Xia Fan obediently.

"One, two, three, sleep. ”

Xia Fan stared at Dong Cailing's bright eyes, and immediately snapped his fingers.

The next moment.

Dong Cailing's eyes gradually blurred, and a strong sense of sleepiness surged up in an instant, and at the same time, there was a voice in his heart saying.

Sleep, sleep, sleep.

It's over.

"It's such a big person, and it's like a child. ”

Xia Fan looked at Dong Cailing's quiet and lovely face after sleeping.

He didn't do anything.

I just closed my eyes and fell asleep again.

Meanwhile.

The lobby of the inn.

Xiao Ming, who got up early, had already opened the door of the inn, and at the same time put down all the chairs in the lobby, and wiped them everywhere by the way.

When Ade and Bear brought breakfast.

Xiao Ming, but none of the four of them moved chopsticks.

"The shopkeeper hasn't gotten up yet. ”

Xiao Ming broke the silence with a light sigh.

Dong Cailing was also still in the shopkeeper's room and did not come out. ”

Little Bear said indifferently.

"Maybe we won't see the shopkeeper for half a day today, it seems that the shopkeeper is quite satisfied with Dong Cailing. ”

Ade shrugged.

"Pay attention to your name, she is now our Lady of the Treasurer. ”

Ah Chao glanced at Adedao quietly.

"Instead of dwelling on this matter, let's think about what you should say to the shopkeeper at that time. ”

“......”

As soon as the words came out.

Xiao Ming Ade, and Xiao Xiong all fell silent.

End breakfast.

And the crowd went about their jobs as usual.

It's just that after Xia Fan's figure is missing at the counter, it always feels like something is missing.

"Little Er, why didn't you see your shopkeeper today?"

It's noon.

Window corner.

Xue Qing asked Xiao Ming seemingly inadvertently when ordering.

"Our shopkeeper is still sleeping in his room. ”

Xiao Ming said helplessly.

"Still sleeping at this point in time, will there be anything?"

Xue Qing pretended to be concerned.

"Don't worry, guest officer, we've already seen it, not to mention that this kind of thing is not once or twice, every time the shopkeeper drinks too much wine at night, and he often gets up late the next day. ”

Xiao Ming explained.

"Well, I'll be ready to go when I'm done, and don't forget to feed my horses when the time comes. ”

Xue Qing said lightly.

"No problem, guest officer, leave everything to us. ”

After speaking.

Xiao Ming left to work elsewhere.

"Did I miss anything again last night?"

Xue Qing held the teacup to his lips and glanced at the guys in the inn without a trace.

He would have this question in his mind.

It was all he woke up early in the morning and found out.

It turned out that the mysterious monk who lived in the guest room on the second floor and the martial cultivator were gone.

Just now he wanted to test the guys in the store.

But in an instant, he dispelled this thought.

Because.

He smelled danger.

As an assassin, a killer.

He is particularly sensitive in this regard.

That's why he's been alive until now.

When lunch is served.

Xue Qing was about to start.

His attention instantly shifted to one person.

The middle-aged shopkeeper of this inn.

I saw him yawning lazily and walking out of the back hall.

"Shopkeeper, are you up?"

"Wow, shopkeeper, who did you drink so late with last night?"

"Shopkeeper, do you still have the energy to come to us for dinner tonight?"

Xia Fan appeared.

It's not just Xiao Ming who hurriedly stepped forward.

Even the neighbors who were eating in the inn couldn't help but laugh and tease.

"I'll go out later, and I'll leave the store to you to take care of. ”

Xia Fan said to Xiao Ming after responding to the neighbors one by one.

"Shopkeeper, where are you going?"

Xiao Ming couldn't help but care.

"Qinglou. ”

Xia Fan said lightly.

With a wave of his hand, he stepped out of the inn door.

Qinglou?!

I just finished the cave last night, and I woke up today and went to the Qinglou?

This made Xiao Ming's expression a little sluggish.

After leaving the inn.

Xia Fan did go to the Qinglou.

He likes to visit the Qinglou in broad daylight.

Because the girls in Qinglou are the most idle in broad daylight, and they are also the most crowded.

Lots of people.

There are many stories.

Jiu Niang is still entangled with that Han family.

Peaches is still close to herself.

Each girl is either troubled, or melancholy, or happy, or silent.

And Xia Fan listened and observed with a smile as usual this time, as usual.

"Shopkeeper, can I talk to you about something alone?"

When Xia Fan was about to leave.

Peaches suddenly stood up courageously and said solemnly towards Xia Fan.

"Oh~~~~~~"

Time.

The girls present may have realized that something was going on and began to heckle.

But Peach, who has a fierce personality, quickly suppressed the group of sisters, and after a while, she kicked them out of the room, leaving only herself and Xia Fan.

"The Shopkeeper's ......"

Peach took a deep breath and patted her full chest, and walked in front of Xia Fan, just when she was about to say something.

Who knew that Xia Fan's first words made her stunned on the spot.

"Momoko, I'm leaving. ”

"Where are you going?"

"Leave White Sparrow. ”

“...... Shopkeeper, can you take me with you?"

"But you should know that I can't give you what you want. ”

"I don't care, I just care about being around the people I like. ”

"Silly girl, why are you doing this?"

"I just want to leave no regrets in my life. ”

“...... Pack up tomorrow morning and come to the inn to find me. ”
