Gu Jinzhao didn't like being in such a passive position, so he simply turned over and pinned the ghost wife beneath him.

However, given their significant height difference, his manner made it seem as if he were deliberately throwing himself into someone's arms and acting coquettishly.

An Wanxi blinked her beautiful eyes: "Where in this world is there any fairness?"

Gu Jinzhao retorted, "You don't dare?"

An Wanxi chuckled and said, "At the same cultivation level, I am no match for my little husband."

Gu Jinzhao realized that his provocation was not working, so he changed his approach: "If you don't listen to me, then you'll be punished according to family rules."

"Then, my little husband, shall we use family discipline?"

"I might not be able to handle it and end up agreeing to everything."

An Wanxi's smile deepened, her soft, voluptuous body pressed against hers, her ambiguous words merely teasing and flirting.

Feeling that fullness and softness, Gu Jinzhao's gaze fell on the plump, millstone-like buttocks, and he felt a surge of heat rising up.

"Don't use 'ugly,' or I'll hit you!"

"Why not?"

An Wanxi reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck, her rosy lips curving into a smile as she spoke softly and sweetly.

Her luscious lips parted slightly, revealing a glimpse of her rosy tongue, making Gu Jinzhao's heart itch with an irresistible urge to lower his head and kiss her.

An Wanxi breathed softly and asked, "Want a kiss?"

Gu Jin raised an eyebrow: "Don't provoke me!"

An Wanxi slightly raised her head, her alluring peach-blossom eyes narrowed, her long eyelashes trembling, giving her a bewitching look that seemed ready to be taken: "Do you dare?"

Gu Jinzhao gazed at the stunning beauty beneath him with burning eyes, feeling a surge of heat rush to his brain. Unable to control his desire any longer, he embraced her soft, delicate body and kissed her.

He knew that the ghost wife was using reverse psychology to retaliate against him.

It's highly likely that when you finally kiss them, it will just go right through the clipping again, just like before!

But so what?

As a man, I will not tolerate being provoked.

To Gu Jinchao's surprise, this time there was no clipping.

As a delicate, honey-like fragrance wafted in, a cloying softness and warmth swept straight into the heart.

"Hmm~"

An Wanxi couldn't help but let out a soft moan, her eyes welling up with tears, and a blush spreading across her cheeks.

This was the first time the two had kissed, and it was Gu Jinchao who initiated it.

Looking at Gu Jinzhao, he felt his blood boiling, his heart racing, and his arms tightening uncontrollably as he embraced that plump and beautiful body, greedily inhaling her alluring and seductive scent.

An unprecedented bliss washed over her, and An Wanxi's expression became dreamy. She wrapped her arms tightly around his neck and couldn't help but respond.

I don't know how much time passed before I felt suffocated.

"Listen to me on this matter."

Gu Jinzhao reluctantly let go and exhaled a long breath.

"I won't listen!"

An Wanxi's eyes were full of moisture, as if they were about to drip water, and her bright red lips were stained with a touch of water.

Gu Jinchao was stunned.

This shouldn't be!

In the game, he always used this method to deal with the other four female protagonists besides Xiao Qingyi, and it always worked!

But now, when it's An Wanxi's turn, she's rendered useless.

Indeed, women cannot be judged in the same way!

"My little husband, you can kiss me one more time, and maybe I'll agree."

An Wanxi bit her lip, her eyes gazing at him with a seductive look that seemed to be entwined with strands of allure.

Gu Jinzhao felt like he had been tricked.

He suspected that An Wanxi just wanted to experience the feeling of kissing between a man and a woman.

After all, Lin Qingci had stolen a kiss from him before.

As a woman, she naturally has a competitive spirit.

"Okay, you win!"

Gu Jinzhao was defeated...

……

The next day, before dawn.

In the backyard of Baicaotang, two figures, one tall and one short, were already standing.

The older one was dressed in a black and white Taoist robe, his black hair tied up with a jade hairpin, revealing a face as cold and aloof as if sculpted from frost and snow, making people afraid to look directly at him.

The younger one, also dressed in a Taoist robe, was petite and delicate, with bright red eyes that were looking around curiously.

"Senior sister, is this your home?"

Hongdou tugged at Mu Muyiren's sleeve and said sweetly.

Mu Yiren gave a soft "hmm" and led her towards the west wing to settle her personal belongings.

As the chief disciple of the Dao Realm lineage, she naturally had to attend this gathering of six outstanding sects.

As for Hongdou, who always loved to join in the fun, she also begged and pleaded to come along.

As for Master, he left Qinglianwu several days ago and his whereabouts are unknown.

"Senior sister! Senior sister!"

After settling her luggage, Hongdou excitedly leaned closer and asked, "Where is your fiancée?"

"You'll see it soon."

Mu Yiren did not stop walking, her tone was calm.

"Is his cultivation level high?"

"It's okay."

"How tall is Shang Ke?"

Hongdou tilted her head and pressed for an answer.

Mu Yiren glanced at her and uttered three words indifferently: "Taller than you."

Hongdou was speechless for a moment, her little mouth pouting slightly.

She was quite resentful. Although she was far less talented than her senior sister, she was still quite gifted and shouldn't be inferior to an inner disciple of the Qingyun Sect.

'My senior sister must have said that on purpose to save face for her fiancé.'

Thinking this, a small hint of smugness couldn't help but appear on his face.

Before long, Hongdou finally met her legendary fiancé.

He was indeed a man of strikingly handsome appearance.

Of course, that's not the point.

The key point is that she learned from him that his cultivation level was at the early stage of the seventh rank.

The smug smile on Hongdou's face gradually disappeared.

In the courtyard, Gu Jinzhao, who hadn't slept all night, felt a throbbing pain in his temples: "Sister Yiren, why did you come back early?"

He had originally planned to send Lin Qingci today to take on a demon-slaying mission that was quite far away, which would take at least several days to travel back and forth. This would allow him to avoid the Six Sects Heroes Gathering and avoid meeting Mu Yiren.

After all, with Lin Qingci's current cultivation level, she is not yet able to participate in such a grand event.

But no matter how much they planned, they didn't expect Mu Yiren to return ahead of schedule.

This is probably going to be a bit troublesome.

Mu Yiren raised her delicate eyebrows almost imperceptibly: "You're not happy that I came back early?"

"Of course not!" Gu Jinchao quickly shook his head: "I just thought that if you had told me earlier, I could have made preparations in advance to welcome you back, and it wouldn't have been so rushed now."

Mu Yiren's rosy lips curled slightly, a half-smile playing on her lips, and she said, "It's not too late to prepare now."

Gu Jinzhao coughed lightly and then suggested, "Aunt Ruo went out early this morning to buy medicinal herbs, so she may not be back until later."

"How about we go out for breakfast today?"

He wanted to take Mu Yiren for a stroll in the streets to kill some time.

By the time the two return, Lin Qingci should also be heading to the sect, thus avoiding them running into each other.

Upon hearing that they were going to the street, Hongdou and the calico cat perched on her head raised their heads almost simultaneously and exclaimed in unison, "Okay, okay!"

The two, a human and a cat, had only known each other for a short time, yet somehow quickly became close.

Perhaps it's because they're both mythical beasts, or perhaps it's because they're both foodies.

Gu Jinzhao inwardly complained, but showed no sign on his face, and went out with Mu Yiren.

As dawn broke and the sky began to lighten, the city's morning market was already bustling with activity and full of lively atmosphere.

The two walked side by side to an inconspicuous stall, where a simple steamer was emitting white steam.

The stall owner was an elderly man with gray hair and beard, his coarse cloth apron smeared with flour. Seeing that he was a regular customer, he immediately put on a warm smile: "Young Master Gu, Miss Mu, the usual today?"

This young couple, both exceptionally good-looking and refined, had been regulars at this stall for many years, and the old man had long regarded them as his own juniors.

Gu Jinzhao nodded: "Thank you, Uncle Zhang. Three baskets of scallion and pork buns, a dish of pickled cucumbers, a dish of fried peanuts, and four bowls of fragrant rice porridge."

"Add two more baskets of crystal dumplings!"

The calico cat had an extremely keen nose; smelling the aroma of meat, it poked its fluffy head out from Hongdou's arms and quickly added.

Mu Yiren rubbed her head and chuckled, "You're still so greedy."

Do you have steamed buns with carrot and pork filling?

Hongdou tiptoed, curiously watching as the old man lifted the lid of the cage.

Warm white steam billowed out, brushing against her rosy cheeks, giving her a faint blush, making her look exceptionally charming and adorable.

Uncle Zhang was taken aback, then smiled apologetically: "We really don't have this filling here. I've been making steamed buns for decades, and I rarely see carrot filling."

"But we have shepherd's purse and mushroom buns, braised pork and three-ingredient buns, and shrimp and five-treasure buns..."

A hint of disappointment flashed in Hongdou's eyes, but she still asked, "Is everything delicious?"

"That's natural!"

"We've been running this stall for over ten years, and all we've got is the authentic taste!"

"Then one basket of each, please!"

Uncle Zhang looked at her small frame and hesitated, "Little girl, can you eat so much?"

"That's not much!"

Red Bean blinked, her face full of innocence.

"Let it be as she says, one basket of each."

Gu Jinzhao spoke up at the opportune moment.

He knew the origin of red beans.

Like the calico cat, she is a spirit beast whose bloodline has reverted to its ancestral form, and she will one day transform into the Divine Lord Lingguang, who is also the Vermilion Bird.

The spirit beasts of this land of Kyushu all possess the bloodline of the four ancient celestial spirits flowing through their veins.

However, most of them have thin bloodlines and can only awaken their intelligence, making it difficult for them to truly cultivate.

Only a few with rich bloodlines may exhibit signs of ancestral regression, eventually transforming into beings like the Four Divine Lords.
