Xiahou Xuans expression twisted for a moment, "What kind of love is this, as long as I kill that male supporting character, I naturally have a way to make the female lead forget him and fall in love with me, the male lead, according to the original plot..."

  After the last lesson, Xiahou Xuan felt that he could no longer tolerate the second male and female lead being together. He couldnt make the same mistake twice. As for what to do with the second males role after his death, compared to the female lead directly betraying him and making him lose the worlds luck, it was a small matter, someone would always be able to replace the second males role.

  His fingers tapped on his knee, Xiahou Xuan gazed at that stunningly handsome face with a domineering and disdainful smile, "What thing dares to compete with me for women?"

  Thinking back to the original story, after the female lead Chu Li and Dong Cheng Jiu Gongzi became friends, they lived in Jiuyan City under Dong Chengs jurisdiction. Xiahou Xuan Yu issued an order, dispatching his subordinates to search for Chu Lis trail in Jiuyan City.

  ……

  Xun Nu and Tang Li arrived at the nearest White Deer City. The city was not big, but it was located at the intersection of North City and East City, so there were still many people coming and going.

  "Why dont we just stay here for now?" Tang Li asked Xun Nus opinion. She was still worried about the injuries on Xun Nus body, such serious injuries couldnt have healed so quickly, and more time was needed to carefully nurse them back to health, it wasnt easy to rush around for too long.

  He nodded silently after observing the crowd and the passing carriages, "Its okay."

  Most of the people in the city are ordinary citizens, and they all look quite affluent. Such a city should be suitable for living.

  Tang Li chose a small house, next to which was a small river, and in front of the door was a weeping willow. "Look, this house is not big, theres a shop in front that can fit three tables, you can sell some breakfast tea and water first, the small courtyard behind is for living, and theres a well, so you dont have to go to the big well on the street corner to fetch water." Tang Li pointed it out to Xun Nu one by one.

  Xun Nu is an assassin, assigned to a house organization, and after completing tasks, she would often find a tavern to eat at. She didnt understand the ordinary life of common people, so she could only follow Tang Li around like a large pet, watching her point out the scenery.

  "This room is left for you, I think you will like this window, when theres time, Ill plant some flowers here for you, what kind of flowers do you like?"

  "This kitchen is great, Im most satisfied with this kitchen. Many materials need to be purchased, and when I chose here, I also considered that its close to the market, so buying vegetables will be convenient in the future."

  Tang Li said one by one, Xun Nu could only nod his head, because in this aspect, he was far inferior to Misss little finger... When it came to buying things, he could show his worth.

  Two people were buying daily necessities and rice, flour, meat, and vegetables at the market. The heavy burdens were all carried by Xun Nu, who didnt let Tang Li help. Tang Li could only carry a basket of vegetables and would occasionally ask him if he was tired. When they walked to a vegetable stall, the vendor looked at them and laughed, saying to Tang Li: "The young lady is so concerned about her husband, your relationship is really good, youve just gotten married, right?"

  Peach: “......”

  The two of them were both wearing ordinary cloth clothes, walking together. Although they werent extremely close, when looking at each other, they would slightly shyly look away, appearing very youthful and innocent, just like a young couple. Not only the vegetable-selling auntie, but almost everyone in the market who saw them thought this way. A vendor selling hairpins even called out to Xun Nu: "Young master, buy a hairpin for your wife! Your wife looks so good, her attire is too plain!"

  He was approached and joked with by a stranger for the first time, after all, he used to be alone in black clothes, holding a knife, looking unapproachable. But now, he had rice and flour on his back, accompanied by a young girl who looked like a little wife, they were close to each other, even though he was expressionless, he seemed harmless.

  "Right, young master, come and take a look at the hairpin."

  He glanced at the young woman who was speaking, noticing that she had several silver hairpins on her head, and then looked at Tang Lis hair, only to realize that she indeed didnt wear any hair ornaments, but just a simple hair tie. Seeing the hair tie, he paused for a moment, and really walked up to the stall, carefully selecting a few pieces of jewelry. Tang Li and the joking woman who asked if they had children looked at each other in explanation, only to turn their heads and see Xun Nu choosing accessories for himself, instantly becoming red-faced and speechless.

  The old woman burst out laughing, "Dont be shy, your husband is fond of you, but little wife, your face is too thin-skinned."

  Whats even more embarrassing is that Xun Nu gave all the money to her, so she had to go pay, and the couple selling the hairpin saw this and the wife slapped her husband, pointing at Tang Li and scolding: "Look at them, their husbands are so considerate, they give all the money to their wives to keep, but youre hiding a private house from me."

  Tang Li pulled Xiao Sheng Shen and hurried away.

  When buying bedding clothes, they were teased again. The bosss wife heard them say they wanted a quilt, and immediately took out a red happy quilt, smiling and saying: "You two little couples look like youve just gotten married, my familys happy quilt is very famous, guaranteed that if you use my familys happy quilt, youll have twins in three years! Harmony and beauty!"

  Tang Li couldnt bear the enthusiasm of the old boss, shaking his head repeatedly, feeling embarrassed. He glanced at Xun Nu beside him and saw that he was staring at the quilt with a serious expression. She looked at the pattern of intertwined lotus flowers on it and asked: "Xun Nu, do you like this quilt? If not, Ill buy one for you?"

  Xun Nu returned to her senses and shifted her gaze towards the entrance of the store, "....just choose what you like."

  Tang Li saw that the little male gods ears had turned red. She didnt know what was wrong with her brain, she was infatuated by his good looks and blurted out: "Then lets take this bed."

  The bosss wife smiled and said, "Alright, Ill pack them up for you. Do you want the wedding pillows or not?"

  She bought a lot of things back home and slowly put them away. Tangerine took out an account book to keep track of the expenses, finished recording, and started cleaning and pasting new window paper. She was too short to reach high places, so Xunü, who was taller, took over the task of pasting the window paper on the windows. Because she wasnt skilled at it, the paper wasnt stuck on very evenly. Tangerine smiled and stepped onto a stool to smooth out the wrinkles. Although she wasnt skilled either, she had strong hands-on ability and would get better with practice. After finishing the task, she looked back to see if the paper was pasted crookedly, but her foot slipped off the stool, causing her to fall sideways.

  Xun Nu opened her arms and scooped her up, embracing her from the stool.

  Tang Li was so frightened that her heart was racing, and Xun Nu patted her on the shoulder, "Dont worry, Ill take care of it."

  This heartbeat is hopeless, Tang Li thought.

  Hanging mosquito nets, putting on quilts, Xun Nu doesnt know how to do anything. With his eyes cast down, he learns bit by bit, looking clumsy and a little pitiful. Tang Li cant help but want to poke at his thick, curled eyelashes.

  The little male god noticed her gaze and looked up, making contact with those clean and calm eyes. Tang Li immediately shrank back to work. The quilt was taken by her into Xun Nus room, specially for him to cover himself, but Xun Nu didnt make a sound.

  Although the house is not yet tidy, the kitchen is spotless. Tang Li has specially bought chicken and stewed it early, and also bought some medicinal herbs from the pharmacy to make a nourishing soup for her little godson. Even if its medicinal food, she wants to make sure it doesnt taste like medicine, but instead fills the air with a savory aroma that makes peoples mouths water. Tang Li used to be the owner of a private kitchen, and although she may not know how to make some of the fancy dishes from big restaurants, she is skilled at making all sorts of home-cooked stews and soups, as well as traditional pastries and desserts.

  Watching Tang Li bring out dish after dish, Xun Nus eyes sparkled, and he only picked up his chopsticks after Tang Li sat down.

  In the quiet of the night, all the gates in the city were closed, and only occasionally could be heard the barking of dogs and the laughter of children from neighboring courtyards. The two sat quietly eating under a single lamp. The light was dim, the food fragrant, and Xun Nu couldnt help but glance at the person opposite him, feeling that everything at this moment was too illusory.

  This peaceful and ordinary life is an illusion, the person smiling at him under the lamp is also an illusion, its an existence he had never imagined before, yet exceptionally easy to accept.

  The brook babbled, and the cries of the vendors crossing the small bridge in the early morning woke up Tang Li. She got up, opened the window, sat in front of the copper mirror to comb her hair, originally planning to simply tie a ponytail, but when she saw those silver pins, she hesitated again, finally picked up the pins and pinned up her hair, and the original ribbon was put into her sleeve pocket.

  As she walked out the door, Xun Nu from next door happened to open his door and walk out as well. Tang Li looked at his hair, still tied up with that piece of cloth he had torn off randomly before. She pulled out a hair tie from her sleeve pocket, "I have a new hair accessory, this one, use it to tie your hair."

  Xun Nu handed over, and the two stood on the spot looking at each other for a while before Tang Li lightly coughed and quickly slipped into the kitchen.

  Tang Li wasnt clear about what to pay attention to when opening a store in this world, so she could only prepare while checking out other stores. She first made some pastries and got along well with the surrounding neighbors. Accidentally making too many, she put the leftovers in the not-yet-opened store, but because they looked so good and novel, passersby asked about prices, and unexpectedly half of them were sold.

  Tang Li thought for a moment and felt that opening a pastry shop in the future might also be okay.

  She was completely unaware that she had turned a dog-blood drama script into a sweet and lovely food shop script, happily preparing for the opening of the store, not forgetting to make all sorts of delicious dishes for Xun Nu. Xun Nu also seemed to have forgotten that he was an assassin, helping with grocery shopping and cleaning every day, even taking the time to pave the dirt path in the small courtyard behind the house while munching on a steamed bun. Tang Li saw the little male god squatting in the yard laying stone slabs from the kitchen window, his cheeks puffed out like a hamsters, and she couldnt help but want to laugh.

  She took a glance at the duck stew in the pot, picked up a skinned duck leg, ladled some soup and called out to Xunnu in the courtyard: "Xunnu, come taste this soup and see how it is."

  She paused with a drumming face and looked at the bowl in her hand. The hot air was steaming, and the fragrance was lingering.

  That night, Xun Nu jumped out of the window and found a place to practice his sword skills. He practiced for two hours before returning.

  Tang Li not only supplemented her diet every day, but also specially went to the pharmacy to buy wound medicine and applied it to Xun Nu every day. Perhaps because of this, Xun Nus wounds healed extremely quickly, much faster than before. In a short period of time, all the external injuries on his body had healed, leaving only internal injuries that needed to be slowly nursed back to health.

  A small food stall opened under Tang Lis hands, if it were just her alone, the small shop wouldnt have been so easy to open, but with Xun Nu added, many things became more convenient. The shop had only been open for two days when some local rascals came over to collect "protection fees", several big men swaggered in with their feet splayed outwards, and a moment later they ran out with their feet close together.

  Someone stood at the door and shouted inward: "Wait for me... Ah yo."

  Before he could finish, the boss slapped him on the back of the head. The boss then made a fist and shouted to Xun Slave, who was holding a broom inside the store: "Friend, your martial arts skills are not bad, its a waste to be in a small place like this, why dont you come to our hall and work with us brothers?"

  The expressionless nun said to those few young rascals: "Different paths, no collaboration."

  Tang Li witnessed this scene and didnt know why she wanted to laugh so much that she couldnt hold it in for half a day, rushing to the kitchen in the back to burst out laughing.

  Xun Nu: "What? What?"

  Apart from this, there is also trouble brought by Tanglis appearance. The heroine Chu Li is a beauty, and even if Tangli doesnt wear makeup or dress up, she cant hide her beauty, which inevitably attracts some rascals. Just a few days after the restaurant opened, some hooligans came in, relying on their martial arts skills to flirt with the girls inside.

  Tang Li: "What would you like to eat?"

  Vagabond: "With a face like yours, boss lady, why be a kitchen maid? Why not come with me instead?"

  Xunu quickly walked out of the kitchen and went to Tanglis side, "Im here."

  To the rogue guest, his tone was no longer so gentle. Without saying a word, he drew his sword and after a flash of light, sheathed it again. At the same time, a large patch of thin hair floated down. The man only felt a chill on his scalp, and after coming to his senses under the threat of death, stared wide-eyed in shock, unable to move his eyeballs.

  "Whats for dinner?"

  The man stuttered: "Ea... Ea... Ea..."

  "Lets eat noodles."

  Man: "Eat noodles."

  He turned to Táng Lí with a low tone: "He wants to eat noodles."

  Peach: “……”

  Two people went to the back kitchen, watching Táng Lí wanting to cook noodles, Xūnú said: "Ill do it."

  Tang Li was taken aback, "Youre coming? But can you cook?"

  She picked up the noodles and scalded them in hot water, then carelessly scooped them into a bowl without adding any seasonings. She carried it to the front hall and slammed it down in front of the restless man, saying only one word: "Eat."

  When the man finished eating the half-cooked noodles like he was swallowing poison, put down the money for his meal and ran away with his tail between his legs, Tang Li shook her head in exasperation. It seemed that no matter what era it was, running a shop wasnt an easy thing to do, especially in this world where the rule of law was lax. If she didnt have Xun Nu, she would have had to deal with all these things by herself, and it would have been many times more troublesome. She still thought too simply about many things; if she didnt have the ability to protect herself, she probably wouldnt be able to live well in this world.

  "Xun Nu, Ill make you my master, okay? Teach me some self-defense moves." This way, if Xun Nu leaves, she wont be so scared.
