Chapter 71 -71: Keeping a Paramour in the New House

Shen Qinghe sighed with relief and thought to herself that there was indeed hope for this child.

But where could she find men’s clothing at a moment’s notice?

After pondering for a moment, she left the City Lord’s Mansion and went to the Ready-made Clothing Shop to buy several sets of men’s clothing according to Dongfang Wuya’s measurements.

Of course, the robes were in the host’s—Mr. Wuya’s—favorite color, red.

Having no silver on her, she pawned a hairpin for cash. Just then, Xiao Chen’s voice came from behind her, “Why are you buying men’s clothing? Could it be that, in order to get back at Changsheng, you’ve taken up with some rogue?”

He approached her, and upon seeing several kiss marks on Shen Qinghe’s fair neck, his mind was shaken, and a surge of indescribable anger welled up within him.

He forcefully grasped Shen Qinghe’s wrist and demanded in a stern voice, “Shen Qinghe, who is your adulterous lover?!”

Shen Qinghe was utterly bewildered, “What nonsense are you spouting?”

Why had Xiao Chen suddenly gone mad? Wasn’t he supposed to be enamored with Nan Sheng? Even if she did have a lover, it was none of his business. Why was he getting angry?

Xiao Chen rudely ripped open Shen Qinghe’s clothing at the collar to reveal the ambiguous marks on her neck, “Who left these kiss marks on your neck?”

Shen Qinghe was startled and suddenly remembered how Dongfang Wuya had bitten and nibbled at her neck earlier; she hadn’t thought he would leave marks.

At a loss for words, and seeing the astonished looks on the faces of the shop’s customers and the shopkeeper, she mustered her courage and argued, “It’s, it’s from bug bites.”

She adjusted her collar and was eager to leave the Ready-made Clothing Shop.

Xiao Chen blocked her way again, “Do you think I can’t tell the difference between bug bites and kiss marks? Tell me clearly, who is your lover?!”

Xiao Chen’s tone, as if he had caught a cheater, made her both want to laugh and cry. She sneered with a hooked lip, “I have nothing to do with you, and whoever I’m with is none of your business either. You’d better think about how to snatch Nan Sheng back from Changsheng—that would be more productive.”

After speaking, she pushed past Xiao Chen and didn’t look back as she walked away.

Only then did Xiao Chen realize he had lost his composure.

Indeed, the one he loved was Nan Sheng, whom he had fallen for at first sight. Shen Qinghe was nothing more than a childhood friend he had grown up with.

The person he truly loved was Nan Sheng, and Shen Qinghe was already married to Yan Changsheng. Even if Shen Qinghe had a lover, it would only mean that she was betraying Yan Changsheng. Why should he be angry?!

Shen Qinghe didn’t take the encounter with Xiao Chen to heart; she hurried back to the City Lord’s Mansion, to her bridal chamber. Upon seeing Dongfang Wuya obediently lying on the marriage bed, she breathed a sigh of relief.

She had been afraid that Dongfang Wuya would roam around naked. Even though this was the Illusory Realm and he was only a Sword Spirit now, she didn’t want others to see his body exposed.

After all, he was such a proud man, a person of high status. She couldn’t let Dongfang Wuya be taken advantage of in the Illusory Realm.

“I’ve bought the clothing; you should put it on first,” Shen Qinghe insisted, as she couldn’t help but treat him well, remembering that this man before her was Dongfang Wuya, who had once saved her life.

Wuya, however, crawled out of the quilt, revealing his bare body and startling Shen Qinghe, who closed her eyes, “You mustn’t let others see you naked; it’s very inappropriate behavior!”

Wuya didn’t care about any of that and stood in front of Shen Qinghe, saying with a pitiful voice, “I don’t know how to dress; help me, Master!”

Feeling the man’s hot breath close at hand, Shen Qinghe averted her gaze and asserted her authority as the master, “Since you’ve already transformed, you should take care of yourself! Dress yourself, or I won’t keep you.”

If they were to leave the Illusory Realm and Dongfang Wuya knew she had seen his entire naked body, she dreaded to think how he would hold that against her.

Just the thought of it was distressing!

“If the master won’t dress me, then I’ll strip the master’s clothes too!” Wuya’s gaze burned into Shen Qinghe.

He felt that the master’s body must be more beautiful than his, and he wanted to see!

Shen Qinghe bit her silvery teeth and silently cursed a streak, unable to deny that even before his transformation, Dongfang Wuya knew exactly where her weakness lay.

Why was she threatened successfully by a lascivious sword? Simply because her skin was not as thick as Dongfang Wuya’s.

Resigned to her fate, she took the clothes and began to dress him, her gaze properly fixed above his neck. However, as she helped him dress, he kept touching her face and occasionally pinched her nose. It then got progressively indecent—he even touched her lips.

Unable to tolerate it any longer, she slapped his hand away: “Don’t touch me like that!”

Dongfang Wuya watched her soft, rosy cheeks with fascination: “The master’s face is so smooth, and her lips so soft; they look very tasty!”

By now, Shen Qinghe was no longer surprised by the startling things Dongfang Wuya would say.

After all, once she left this Illusory Realm, she wouldn’t be the one feeling awkward.

It took her a full quarter hour to finally get Dongfang Wuya dressed, leaving her sweating from the effort.

Afterward, she asked Dongfang Wuya to carry the two unconscious maids inside, but he called them dirty and refused to touch them.

Shen Qinghe’s only thought was to retort with a “Haha.” Aside from becoming lascivious, his temperament was indeed much like Mr. Wuya’s.

She had no choice but to move the two maids inside herself.

The sensible thing would have been to wake the maids up, but considering Dongfang Wuya, the man in her room, if the maids saw him, it could cause an uproar in the entire City Lord’s Mansion.

As a compromise, she decided to let the two maids continue sleeping.

No sooner had she moved the maids than someone burst into the bridal chamber—it was Xiao Chen.

Upon seeing Dongfang Wuya dressed in red, Xiao Chen’s expression shifted slightly. Even as a man who considered himself one in ten thousand in looks, he had to admit that the man before him was incredibly handsome.

No wonder Shen Qinghe made Yan Changsheng a cuckold. Could it be because of this man’s ascent by means of his beauty?

“Shen Qinghe, you really are something, harboring an adulterer in your bridal chamber!” Xiao Chen said through gritted teeth.

Shen Qinghe thought Xiao Chen was simply upset on behalf of his good friend Yan Changsheng. She hadn’t obtained the Snow Bone Grass yet and didn’t want to fall out with Yan Changsheng at this point, so she explained, “This is Wuya.”

Xiao Chen was taken aback, and quickly coming to grips with the revelation, asked in disbelief, “He’s your Wuya Sword?!”

The Wuya Sword was a divine sword, known for its spirit in the past, but he had never imagined that a divine sword could transform, and into such a stunningly handsome man at that.

It was inconceivable.

Wuya disliked the attention Shen Qinghe gave to others. He naturally hugged her from behind, resting his head against her neck: “Master, don’t bother with him. I don’t like him!”

Xiao Chen became angry at this sight: “Let go of Shen Qinghe, you broken sword!”

Shen Qinghe, always protective, was displeased by the remark: “Who are you calling a broken sword?”

Xiao Chen was so angry he practically smoked: “Can’t you see he’s being improper with you?”

As he spoke, he moved to snatch Shen Qinghe away from Wuya, but before he could even touch the hem of her garment, Wuya had already vanished with Shen Qinghe right before his eyes.
