Starry Sky Railway: The Slacking Sword Saint is Keeped by Fu Xuan

Fu Xuan and Yu Chen exchanged a glance and narrowed their eyes slightly.

"He's busy, so why should I have time?"

"Well..."

Yu Chen opened his mouth, turned his head to look at Bai Lu, and realized that he had indeed agreed a little too readily...

Perhaps we should have just handed her over to Jingyuan and let him handle it himself?

"Should I take it back to her now?"

Fu Xuan gave him a look, telling him to figure it out himself.

Bai Lu was somewhat stunned.

Huh? What's going on? She just got here and she's already being thrown back?!

"Wait, wait! You...you already agreed, how can you go back on your word now?"

She pointed at Yu Chen, who had already walked up to her, and shouted.

Yu Chen smiled and turned to gesture for her to look at Fu Xuan.

"This place is the Bureau of Divination, and she is the Diviner, the boss of this place. The boss has spoken, so I, a lowly subordinate, can't disobey her orders!"

"But she hasn't said anything yet!"

Bai Lu remained stubborn.

"Xiao Fuxuan and I are of one mind; we understand each other's thoughts without needing to say a word!"

"I... I'll tell the general that you've changed your mind. When he comes and doesn't see me, he'll definitely be angry!"

She attempted to use Jing Yuan's name to intimidate Yu Chen.

However…

"So what if I'm angry? What can he do to me?"

Yu Chen chuckled indifferently.

Bai Lu's lips twitched, forgetting that the person in front of her was probably the most resentful of Jing Yuan in the entire Luofu.

"You're a liar anyway, you're a fraud!"

Fu Xuan frowned, feeling extremely displeased by her words about Yu Chen.

"Alright! You can stay if you want, but find something to do yourself. We don't have time to play with you like Jingyuan does!"

"Hmph~ I won't cause you any trouble, just don't send me back to the Pill Refining Division!"

Bai Lu crossed her arms and hummed, but didn't say anything more.

Yu Chen pursed his lips, looking at the scene where the atmosphere had suddenly cooled down, he hesitated whether to say that he actually wanted to return her to Jing Yuan instead of sending her back to the Pill Cauldron Division...

...

These past few days, the words Yu Chen has written the most are Fu Xuan's name. He has signed the official documents that Fu Xuan has read over and over again.

I feel like that eunuch serving the empress dowager who rules from behind the curtain...

Fortunately, unlike the eunuchs, he always took the initiative at night, but this meant...

The taste has become strange again, and it can only be impressive at night. It's like a guy who lives off the fortune teller.

Bai Lu's eyes darted around, unable to contain her restlessness, and she began to wander around the room, her gaze fixed on the fruit plate on the table.

With her hands behind her back, she casually strolled to the desk. She glanced at the two people, then instantly reached out, grabbed an apple, and put it behind her back.

After doing all this, a faint smile appeared on her lips. Returning to her seat, Bai Lu held the big, red apple, opening her mouth wide to taste it, when a voice suddenly drifted over.

"Remember to wash it before eating, or you'll get a stomachache and Jingyuan will come after me..."

Bai Lu's face stiffened. She glared at him and wiped the fruit with her sleeve.

Its rosy surface gleamed with a faint sheen, and there was absolutely no sign of it being unclean.

"I'm a doctor, I know better than you how to protect my body! I don't need your reminders!"

Yu Chen glanced at her lazily and nodded casually.

"Okay, okay, I was just trying to be helpful... Eat whatever you want~"

"Humph~"

Little Dragon Girl gave a soft hum, hesitated for a moment while looking at the bright red fruit in her hand, and then slipped out to wash it.

"Remember not to leave this courtyard, or I won't be able to save you if you get captured!"

Yu Chen called out behind her.

"I won't!"

Bai Lu turned around and glared at him, then, under Fu Xuan's gaze, she closed the door gently, her movements shifting from force to softness.

For some reason, the Grand Diviner, whose martial prowess was nowhere near that of the Sword Saint, possessed an oppressive aura several times greater than his own…

"Ah~"

Little Dragon Girl sighed, feeling quite helpless at how they treated her like a child. She looked down at the plump, red apple in her hand.

Bai Lu roused herself, washed it clean, sat on the corridor, dangling her legs, and began to admire the scenery of Taipusi.

As long as it's not that cramped room, she feels comfortable anywhere.

The crunching sounds of munching on fruit could be heard from time to time, as Bailu swayed her head, thoroughly enjoying her meal.

Ah, freedom!

...

As the door closed, Fu Xuan glanced at the lazy Sword Saint beside him.

He yawned, lazily grabbed her cup, and took a sip.

That's not the point. The point is that even though there was a full cup of tea in front of him, he insisted on drinking from the cup she had already drunk from to feel comfortable.

Fu Xuan sighed and pulled away the hand that had secretly touched his thigh.

"So why didn't you think about it more back then?"

Yu Chen put his hand back down and smacked his lips, saying, "Jing Yuan offered me a benefit... I agreed on a whim."

"What's the benefit?"

Fu Xuan's gaze instantly locked onto him.

Yu Chen's expression stiffened slightly. He stared at her for a few moments, then realized there was nothing to hide.

"It's just two jars of good wine..."

Fu Xuan nodded knowingly, his expression unchanged. "I see~"

But Yu Chen secretly observed her expression and said, "I won't drink too much..."

Fu Xuan glanced at him, unable to suppress a smile.

Look at that face, so worried that I'll be unhappy.

She couldn't quite understand why he was so afraid of her, a person who was so gentle, refined, and reasonable.

"So what if you drank more? In the end, I don't have the power to stop you from drinking."

"You'd be really angry, Fu Xuan, and I don't want you to be unhappy..."

Yu Chen leaned forward and put his arm around her waist, then whispered in her ear.

The little diviner rolled his eyes at him and awkwardly turned his head away, saying, "So what I mean is, just say it openly. No one will blame you for making reasonable requests."

Yu Chen nestled close to her, burying his face in Fu Xuan's neck and panting, "I'm just a little worried that you might be secretly angry even if you don't say it~"

"You're making me really unhappy now..."

Fu Xuan's face paled, the sound of his obvious inhalation making him uncomfortable; the hot breath hitting his neck sent shivers down his spine...

She gently tried to pull Yu Chen away by his shoulders, but to no avail.

"I've never said I objected to you drinking... I just don't like excessive drinking, and isn't it normal for people to have interests? I'm not so petty as to forbid even your little hobby!"

Chapter 112 White Dew: On what it feels like to be showered with affection so intimately.

"I'll remember that if you say it like that!"

Yu Chen blinked and looked at her as he spoke.

Fu Xuan squinted, giving him a heads-up, "As long as you don't twist my words and spend your days out partying or drinking yourself to death with Jing Yuan, it's fine. Otherwise..."

There's no place for you in this house!

Yu Chen smiled brightly, picked her up, and gave her a kiss on the lips.

"I would never do the things you despise."

"Shut up..."

Fu Xuan extended a finger and pressed it against his lips. Gazing into his sparkling eyes, her brows gradually softened.
