Chapter 7 Desire Huaxia Book Library Network

  Xu Xian blinked and said: "Thank you, it feels pretty good!" It's unknown whether he was talking about the feeling of flying or the feeling of being held.

  Bai Suzhen's face turned red and she angrily threw him down. Xu Xian landed nimbly on the ground,

  Luan busied herself helping him up and dusting off his clothes. She wanted to glare at Bai Su, but didn't dare to.

  "Uh, brother, and Bai Xiaowei sister, my little sister wants you guys to go eat..."

  "Rice!" She had seen Xu Xian's good control of water that night, but the scene just now still shocked her. It turned out that her brother could really ride the clouds and drive the fog, wasn't he a god?

  The table was filled with dishes, and several women took their seats. Xu Xian glanced at the three women seated at the same table.

  Qing Luan wore a deep blue water willow long skirt, with a hint of shyness in her elegance, looking as if...

  "A beautiful girl who came out of the high school across from home, and it just so happens that she's also my own sister."

  Bai Suzhen is naturally a white-clad, unchanged for thousands of years. She's probably the kind of gentle and amiable female teacher that one might encounter only once in a decade or so of schooling. When she stands on the podium, calmly imparting knowledge, people can't help but feel that she's as sacred and lofty as a goddess.

  She could be gentle and caring when she stepped down from the stage, asking if you had a cold, yet warm and intimate like an older sister next door. But her own unhappy and reclusive fish sister seemed to have deliberately learned from her studying elder sister, although she liked to pretend to be a teacher.

  Yun Yan seemed to be expecting something, holding hands with a hint of reserve, standing by the side. Her usual lazy and explosive phoenix eyes also seemed to have gained some spirit. The fiery long dress on her would not be as eye-catching as it would be on other women, but rather as if that was the color that belonged to her. Even Hou Xian suspected that she was born to wear such a bold color, in order to reveal her magnificence and pride, just like a phoenix.

  It's just that she now looks more like a little wife who has cooked a good meal and is waiting for her husband to taste it, with an expectant look in her eyes, as if to say: Come on, praise me! But if someone really praises her, she will definitely lower her head with a seemingly reserved but actually proud expression, indicating that this is nothing special.

  In her expectant gaze, Xu Xian took a sip of the soup and then smiled at her. Yun Yan was about to say a few humble words when Xu Xian continued, "It's salty!" Yun Yan's smile immediately froze on her face.

  Xu Xian took another bite of his food and nodded seriously. Yun Yan became excited again, and Xu Xian added:

  "A bit anxious."

  Yun Yan was so angry that she couldn't help but want to go up and bite him, but because of Bai Su's presence, she could only force a smile.

  When Xu Xian finished tasting all the dishes, he first shook his head and sighed. Just as he was about to say something, Kou Yunyan got up and took away the dishes on the table. Xu Xian asked in surprise: "What are you doing?"

  "Isn't it too difficult to eat? I'll go and redo it!" But in her heart, she felt an unspeakable sense of grievance. She had been busy in the kitchen, putting all her thoughts into preparing this meal, only to end up with such a result.

  Xu Xian said: "I was just about to say that you're making rapid progress and have a real talent for cooking!"

  The cloud cuckoo held the silver tooth and the plate in his hand, which was shaking slightly. What were you sighing and shaking your head for?

  Wow! Now praise me, but I don't feel happy at all!

  Qing Luan pounced on a snake with a loud laugh, while Bai Su merely smiled reservedly from the side, her stomach hurting from laughter.

  Xu Xian said: "What are you still dazing about? Hurry up and sit down to eat! Don't keep looking silly!"

  Yun Gai finally restrained himself from throwing the plate in his face and sat back down.

  Xu Xian said with a hint of pride, "Although my culinary skills are several hundred years behind the times, they're barely edible!" He had full confidence in his cooking abilities. With San Mei by his side, he couldn't help but boast a few words, although his way of showing off was a bit problematic!

  Yun Yanhuo suddenly stood up, "Xu Hanwen!" A pair of phoenix eyes widened, looking sharp and spirited. It is said that Guan Er Ye would also make this gesture before killing someone, first letting out a loud shout, his phoenix eyes rounding out, then his hand rising and knife falling.

  Yun Yan at this moment if had Qinglong Ya Yue knife in hand, probably would have learned a complete set.

  Xu Xian's face was innocent and curious, asking: "What's wrong? One...

  Yun Yan's chest heaved a few times, but it was extremely enticing. She had forgotten that Bai Su Zhen was sitting on one side, and finally, like a deflated balloon, her face also lost its spirit, and she only said: "Husband, I'm going back to my room!" She turned around dejectedly and left. If that woman hadn't been there, maybe she wouldn't have gotten angry! Bai Su Zhen's strength made her see her own weakness even more clearly.

  What can I change? I've never been able to change anything. Whether it's being demoted or

  Marriage, or falling in love with Pan Yu, or being given to Xu Xian, and then Xu Xian marrying another woman as his legitimate wife. She had always thought herself strong, but was actually weak and incompetent, unable to control her own fate.

  Perhaps my life is just a futile persistence, and all I can choose is dignity.

  Xu Xian spread his hands and said: "Did I say anything wrong?"

  Facing Lian's and Bai Suzhen's accusing gaze, he finally said: "But a good teacher produces outstanding students!"

  The eyes of the two women did not relax at all.

  "Okay, okay, I just want to show off a little!"

  As a traverser, isn't pretending to be cool the most basic occupational quality?

  Bai Suzhen couldn't help but feel a little guilty towards her husband, so she didn't want to interfere with Xu Xian's family affairs too much and shifted her gaze away. Qinglian also knew that Miss wasn't acting this way just because of the cooking incident.

  Xu Xian sighed and said, "What a troublesome woman!" The result was naturally very annoying, and he received the gaze of the two women again. He could only say, "Well, let's just eat!" He thought he had already done what he should do, and it's inevitable that people would have some conflicts when interacting with each other. Can't always be him who compromises!

  After dinner, Bai Suzhen asked: "Have you thought of it?"

  "What?"

  Bai Suzhen smiled and said, "You're still worried about your Yanyan, aren't you?" Even if she told herself a hundred times that she hadn't done anything wrong, and even if she really hadn't done anything wrong, the concern for others wouldn't stop, would it? This kind of personality made her feel somewhat familiar.

  Xu Xian sighed and said, "What's with this 'my Yan'er'!" In fact, I had no relationship with that woman at all. Currently, we were just cohabiting. It seemed like a same-age male and female cohabiting without any romantic involvement.

  Even if it were placed in the 21st century, no one would believe it!

  Bai Suzhen's smile disappeared, and she assumed a serious tone: "You can't avoid this, you have a responsibility to her! You're husband and wife!"

  Xu Xiantan slumped in his chair, weakly saying: "She's just my little wife, the kind of little wife you can kick a couple of times when she's not happy! Like today, daring to go behind my back and avoid our male host, she should be thrown into a pig cage!" What a lovely old society, a paradise for men.

  Bai Suzhen smiled and naturally wouldn't take his words seriously, but instead sighed and said: "Sometimes you're like a god, sometimes you're like a child, I don't even know how to talk to you!" In fact, he didn't seem like someone born in this world at all. To her, he was just a winter melon in a field of watermelons.

  Melon, although still pretending to be ordinary, is actually very different.

  "You just asked me something, have you thought of it? What is it?"

  Bai Suzhen said: "The way to repay kindness, what do you want? I'll try my best to give it to you. With 1,700 years of Taoist practice, there must be things you want to do but can't, let me help you achieve them."

  Now!

  Xu Xian was speechless. Why did the thousand-year-old fate have to be like Aladdin's magic lamp, having to make a wish in front of the beautiful goddess? However, this seemed to be his own problem.

  Thinking of this, he couldn't help but take a closer look at Bai Suzhen. Suddenly, he remembered a comic book from his previous life where a guy made a wish to the goddess: "I want you to stay by my side forever!" To be honest, he had a similar urge now! Because apart from occasionally bursting with good intentions, he was just an ordinary man who would drool over beautiful women.

  Such a woman, no, a goddess standing in front of him, allowing him to make any demands. This feeling is really a battle between humans and gods!

  Bai Suzhen let him strike heavily for a while, and she couldn't help but blush again, which made her even more captivating.

  Facing such a woman, a sentence was hovering on Xu Xian's lips "Please, you..."

  Bai Suzhen couldn't help but feel tense, what kind of request would he make? Would it be too excessive?

  Let yourself be what he wants you to be.

  "Would you like a cup of tea?"

  Bai Suzhen was taken aback, feeling both annoyed and amused by this man who had a mind full of desires but lacked the courage to act on them. However, she couldn't help but feel a sense of relief in her heart. She was still angry, yet also somewhat moved - if he were to make some excessive demands, then he wouldn't be himself.

  Xu Xian poured her a cup of tea and said: "Be careful, it's hot!"

  Bai Suzhen took it over, and drank the water in the cup in one gulp. The red lips were stained with a fine white ceramic mark, which made people's hearts move even if only for an instant. Then she looked at Xu Xian with her eyes closed: "Go on"

  "Good grief!" But I wonder what other absurd demands he has.

  Xu Xian suddenly said seriously: "I want to ask you a question!"

  "What?" asked Bai Suzhen curiously.

  "I want to do something, but I think there are many difficulties and even some risks. I don't know if I should do it or not!"

  Bai Suzhen's heart skipped a beat "If it's something difficult to do, then I can repay him myself." But she still asked: "Is it good or bad?"

  "Absolutely good news, and it's great news!"

  Bai Suzhen became even more curious and asked: "Are you going to spend money to repair the river embankment?"

  "Of course I won't leave, I want to compile a medical book!"

  Bai Suzhen said with some doubt, "A medical book?" But in her heart, she was somewhat skeptical. Although medicine was not highly valued in this world, there were still many medical books, and one could even say that they were abundant. So what difference would another medical book make?

  Xu Xian seemed to have seen through her thoughts and said, "If I were to come out with this medical book, I would no longer need any other medical books!" He had also looked at several medical books recently and found that there were many errors in them. Because for modern people it may just be common sense, but for the ancients, they needed years of research and verification.

  Even if Xu Xian himself didn't know any medicine, he could still judge based on common sense that some things were wrong.
