Xingtie: My silly online friend is actually a raccoon!

Lu Ze peeked out from his warm bed; it was just getting light outside the window.

After much pleading and cajoling last night, he finally managed to avoid ending up sleeping on the streets. Instead, he slept soundly until dawn, embracing his sweet-smelling fiancée.

When he opened his eyes, he found that Fu Xuan had already woken up.

She lay on her side beside the pillow, her cheeks flushed, quietly watching his sleeping face, her eyes filled with an undisguised satisfaction—clearly, Lu Ze had really mastered the art of coaxing people last night.

"Good morning, Xuan'er." Lu Ze grinned.

"You big rascal, hurry up and cook!"

When Fu Xuan saw that he had woken up, she immediately withdrew her gentle gaze, reached out and pushed his head to stop him from leaning in to kiss her.

"Are you still angry?" Lu Ze pressed closer to her, gently sniffing her hair.

"What do you think!" Fu Xuan glared at him, but his tone was more reproachful, no longer as cold as yesterday.

"I'm sorry, I won't do that again."

"Oh~ so you won't be seeing any more women, or you won't let me know anymore?" Fu Xuan drawled, looking at him with a half-smile.

In fact, she knew that if Lu Ze really didn't want to be honest, she wouldn't be able to figure it out no matter how capable she was.

The divination technique of the Immortal Ship is essentially a probability calculation; events that occur in other worlds are not included in the Immortal Ship's causal system.

If Lu Ze never intended to tell her in the first place, then she really had no way of knowing how to calculate these things.

So most of my anger had already subsided last night.

"I swear I really won't look for anyone else," Lu Ze said, raising his hand solemnly.

"You'd better really mean it."

Fu Xuan didn't say anything more. Coming from a prominent family, she was used to men having multiple wives and concubines.

Rather, she had anticipated this situation when she chose him, a man who travels all over the world.

I can accept it, but at least I need to let him know some boundaries so he doesn't become too reckless.

After a moment of silence, Fu Xuan suddenly asked, "Your daughter's name is Lu Yao, right?"

Lu Ze paused for a moment, then answered truthfully.

"Yes, his name is Lu Yao, the Lu Yao who knows a horse's strength."

"What a terrible name-giver," Fu Xuan commented disdainfully.

"Where is it flawed? Doesn't it sound great?" Lu Ze said, somewhat unconvinced.

Fu Xuan snorted.

"You said you got help from geniuses. Are you very familiar with them?"

"Uh...it's alright."

Lu Ze felt somewhat embarrassed. He was indeed quite familiar with both the Black Tower and the Great Black Tower in a certain sense.

"Remember to bring Xiaoyao over later so she can recognize people."

Fu Xuan's tone revealed no emotional fluctuation.

"You want to see Yaoyao?" Lu Ze's voice rose a few decibels.

"What, can't I see him?"

Fu Xuan glanced at him, his eyes filled with disdain.

"Am I the kind of wicked matriarch you perceive me to be?"

"No, no, my Xuan'er is beautiful inside and out..."

Lu Ze quickly changed his tune.

"That's more like it." Fu Xuan withdrew his gaze with satisfaction. "I'm practically her mother. According to the old custom, I should also prepare a dowry for her."

She adopted the demeanor of a principal wife, and even had the air of a matriarch.

A warm feeling welled up in Lu Ze's heart.

He reached out and pulled Fu Xuan into his arms, whispering.

"Okay, I promise you. I'll bring Lu Yao to see you as soon as she's fully recovered."

Fu Xuan didn't break free, but quietly leaned against him, and the two cuddled for a while.

She gently nudged him only when she heard the gradually increasing noise from the street outside the window.

"Go make breakfast. I didn't eat anything last night; I was so angry with someone that I was full."

Lu Ze smiled, rolled out of bed, and went to cook for his lovely wife.
