These fairies want me to deal with them every day.

He's really something!

You keep saying you can't stay overnight at my place, but then you go off somewhere else to fool around, huh?

24 Her rhythm, her cadence

Ran Xinxue's question made Su Mi feel a little strange. She wondered if it was just her imagination... She felt that this beautiful and young sect leader seemed to be a little too concerned about their married life.

She looked at Ran Xinxue with a puzzled expression.

"Well... no, it's just that I'm not always at home. I guess I have some things to take care of."

Ran Xinxue was slightly disappointed.

He's actually become a good person? He's stopped doing those shady jobs where he doesn't come home at night?

But thinking about it again, I felt a little happy. At least I couldn't make him stay out all night, and no one else could either!

That brat Mu Xitong is no good either!

But then Su Mi said, "By the way, it seems he'll be spending the next few nights at the Medicine King Pavilion, saying that refining pills takes time..."

"...Is that so?"

Ran Xinxue's eyes weren't wide open, but they looked somewhat stiff.

Su Mi didn't know why, but she nodded subconsciously.

I'm furious about the fresh snow.

Mu Xitong, you always have so many tricks up your sleeve! Alchemy, huh? Don't end up with a big fat baby!

Ran Xinxue regained her composure after a slight lapse in composure, leaned back in her chair, and spoke softly.

"Su Su, there's something I'm not sure if I should say."

"What does the sect leader want to say?"

Su Mi asked curiously.

Ran Xinxue said softly, "You two are married now, and you're husband and wife. Things are different now than before."

Su Mi nodded blankly, "I know."

Ran Xinxue shook her head. "You don't know yet. There are some things that you couldn't manage before, like those women who were clinging to him. You might not have had enough confidence to restrain him. But it's different now. You are husband and wife. You are his wife. He has to listen to what you say."

"so what……"

Su Mi looked at Ran Xinxue strangely, wondering why the other party wanted to bring this up with her.

Ran Xinxue said softly, "Although you trust his character, sometimes women outside are like tigers coming down from the mountain, not so easy to resist. As his legal wife, you should keep these people out and make him bound by you."

Ran Xinxue's purpose was simple: since few people would suspect that they had a relationship with him anyway.

Su Mi restrained him, preventing him from openly going to people like Mu Xitong and Lu Qingyan. So where could he go?

This is quite obvious.

However, Ran Xinxue underestimated the girl's own opinions. Although she seemed easy to control, she was not stupid and made her own judgment the moment she sensed something was wrong.

She looked at Ran Xinxue and said softly.

"Sect Master, I feel that my relationship with him should not be like this."

"What?" Ran Xinxue looked at Su Mi in confusion. Everyone is jealous, jealous of others having everything they don't have.

It could be talent, a bright future, or an excellent lover.

How could anyone not care?

Su Mi said softly, "I think... he has his own sense of propriety. I don't really understand these things, but as long as he's always by my side, that's enough."

Ran Xinxue said, bewildered, "But you are his lawfully wedded wife..."

"Well, but his wife is trying to share his worries, right? She shouldn't be causing him trouble."

Ran Xinxue seemed to suddenly realize that she was wrong. This girl, who looked harmless, easy to bully and manipulate, and easy to deceive... was not at all like what she appeared to be.

There's a reason why she's the only wife Wei Tu has ever married...

Which of the girls that boy has messed with is simple?

Ran Xinxue became slightly wary. Instead of launching a relentless offensive, she nodded and said, "Hmm, what you said makes sense. I am very pleased to see you two in such harmony."

Su Mi smiled sweetly, "Thank you for the blessing, Sect Master~"

"It's alright. You are all disciples of the Yuanjian Sect. Your happiness is the best thing."

Of course, the premise is that I also live well, otherwise no one will let me have an easy time, especially that guy surnamed Wei!

"Thank you, Sect Master... By the way, what do you want to say to him, Sect Master?"

Just as Su Mi was asking the question, the boy walked out of the kitchen.

"Alright, alright, the food is ready, let's eat."

As dish after dish was served, the sheer variety was overwhelming, clearly not the amount one would expect for two people dining alone.

Su Mi blinked and looked at Wei Tu, who was sitting next to her.

"Why are you making so many? Did you know the sect leader would be coming?"

Wei Tu smiled and shook his head, "I saw that you went out with Qin Shuangshuang, and I was worried that you would have dinner together, so I made a little extra."

"Oh, what a pity. Shuangshuang said she had things to do on her way back and left halfway."

Su Mi was actually aware that Qin Shuangshuang didn't really want to see her and Wei Tu being all lovey-dovey and affectionate, so the excuse of having something to do... seemed a bit forced.

But what can be done? Some things are indeed unchangeable, even if the sea dries up and the rocks crumble.

"I see, um..."

Wei Tu, lost in thought, picked up his chopsticks to eat, but suddenly stopped abruptly and made an unusual sound.

Su Mi turned her head and looked at Wei Tu curiously, "What's wrong?"

Wei Tu's face stiffened for a moment, but he quickly recovered.

He shook his head. "It's nothing, it just tastes a little bland. Why don't you try it?"

Su Mi took a bite and said, "It's very good."

"Oh, then I was mistaken."

How could Wei Tu have been mistaken?

Taking advantage of the moment he looked down, he glared at Ran Xinxue, who was right across from him.

The table wasn't very wide, so the distance between it and the person opposite wasn't far at all, especially for a tall woman like Ran Xinxue.

and so……

Wei Tu leaned back slightly and saw that, at some point, she had taken off her shoes and was gently touching her toes with her sock-covered feet.

Whose leg is this?

It was already obvious that Wei Tu hadn't expected Ran Xinxue to come here today to cause such a mess.

He wanted to dodge, but he was worried that making too big a move would attract Su Mi's attention, so he slowed down his movements, which gave Ran Xinxue an opportunity.

If you lean to the left, she leans to the left; if you lean to the right, she leans to the right.

Wei Tu had no choice but to try his best to spread his legs, but he underestimated the length of Ran Xinxue's legs.

She was sitting right across from me, looking incredibly dignified, with a normal complexion and a cold gaze, her upper body completely still.

But inexplicably... I sensed something unusual happening right then and there.

Something gently teased it, like a soft hand.

She even controlled the intensity so perfectly, easily arousing a man's interest. Like a spark igniting dry tinder.

"Hiss..." In that instant, the moment he was hit right in the bullseye, Wei Tu made a strange sound, very faint but not escaping the ears of those around him.

Su Mi looked at Wei Tu strangely, "What's wrong now?"

Wei Tu shook his head and looked over with a smile, "No, my tongue just went numb for a moment, so I added some Sichuan peppercorns."

"Oh... so why put so much in there? It's a bit numb."

Su Mi nodded and said, without much doubt.

Wei Tu certainly couldn't let Ran Xinxue continue to be so rampant. Just when he could even feel the shape of her toes, he instantly squeezed his legs together.

Lock the opponent's feet firmly in place at this moment.

"Well……"

"What happened to the sect leader?"

Just as Wei Tu's condition was resolved, Su Mi made a strange discovery: not far away, the woman in the white dress sitting opposite Wei Tu was making indistinct sounds, and her fair cheeks seemed to have become slightly rosy.

Ran Xinxue raised her head, a fleeting look of surprise in her eyes, then smiled and said.

"Nothing much, just remarking that the taste is really good. I didn't expect your husband to be such a good cook."

Su Mi laughed too, "It's alright, this is one of his few good points."

"Hmm, that's a great advantage! Not bad!"

Su Mi looked at Ran Xinxue strangely, feeling that the other person was exerting force when she said those words.

But at first glance, there seemed to be no movement.

Su Mi thought for a moment and decided to defuse the awkward atmosphere, so she took the initiative to say, "By the way, Sect Master, is there something you wanted to talk to him about?"

"Oh...it's nothing much, just asking if Wei Tu has any plans to start his own business."

Wei Tu was about to speak when he suddenly felt the other person's toes lightly flick at him. Normally, this action would not have been a problem at all.

But the key issue is men's terrible physical instincts...

Once something is caught in one's grip, one inevitably becomes quite energetic, and one's fighting spirit instantly soars.

Moreover, Ran Xinxue changed her strategy. She no longer wanted to withdraw, just as she herself no longer wanted freedom. She pushed inward with effort, and then gently teased at the precise distance and position.
