Chapter 40 - The Assessment Ends

It was impossible not to tease Chu Siyu.

A respectful and mutually beneficial love is the exclusive domain of adults. With a girl like Chu Siyu, one must be more assertive; otherwise, they would forever remain distant and drift further apart.

But teasing has its limits. Appropriate teasing is playful banter, but if it goes too far, it becomes bullying, and the bully would be the scum to be hanged on the city walls.

Su Huai is not scum; he just wants to hear Chu Siyu talk more and interact with people more.

Upon learning that the adorable and innocent Chu Siyu has become friends with Cao Yi, Su Huai is overjoyed, even happier than if he had found a ton of spiritual stones on the street.

You see, in her previous life, Chu Siyu never had a true friend.

She suffered from social anxiety, did not like to speak, was submissive, and her personality was not particularly likable. Yet, she had a face that could cause trouble in the country, and her talent in alchemy was top-notch.

As everyone knows, making friends with a top student is difficult, and even more so with a good-looking top student, especially one with innate personality flaws.

Thus, most of the female disciples who practiced with Chu Siyu on Yaoling Peak in her previous life disliked her.

Occasionally, when someone spoke ill of her and was discovered by the elders of Yaoling Peak, they would be reprimanded.

So, everyone knew the elders favored Chu Siyu, and they disliked her even more...

Fortunately, Chu Siyu still had Su Huai. When she felt wronged or had something happy to share, she would hide in the covers and tell him.

Sometimes she would also show a little temper, trying to challenge Su Huai's position as the head of the household, and then snuggle in his arms to coo after the challenge.

Chu Siyu in love was incredibly clingy.

But Su Huai in her previous life was, after all, not a disciple of the Immortal Sect. Unless invited, he could not casually enter the Yan Yue Immortal Sect.

So they bought a small courtyard in Chenyue Valley, and since then, Chu Siyu visited the sect less frequently, and the opportunity to expand her social circle was directly strangled by herself.

In her previous life, Chu Siyu's world consisted of Su Huai, and only Su Huai.

Although this was a very satisfying matter for vanity, Su Huai still sincerely felt that this kind of life was too monotonous and abnormal, a regret for Chu Siyu.

After all, in his eyes, she was always a living person, not a vassal of his, Su Huai.

Fortunately, in this life, Su Huai's rebirth has fluttered the butterfly wings. Cao Yi, who was supposed to go to the Heavenly Cold Palace in the previous life, was coaxed to the Yan Yue Immortal Sect by him, and by some strange turn of events, became Chu Siyu's first friend.

When Cao Yi, who has full social skills, meets the socially anxious Chu Siyu, well...

Fortunately, Cao Yi is a girl.

Time passes second by second...

Soon, night falls.

The Zishen Python has regained consciousness and is soaking most of its body in the pool to heal, occasionally lifting its head to roar at the snow spirit that has revealed its true form.

Get out! Snow Vengeance Spirit! What are you doing on my territory! Do you want to fight!

When the snow spirit glances up at it, the Zishen Python immediately shrinks back, tucking its head behind Chu Siyu.

Then Chu Siyu is scared to shiver by the snow spirit.

Finally, Su Huai gives the snow spirit a glare to keep it away from his wealthy wife.

Damn it, the Zishen Python has learned the meaning of "bullying by relying on someone's power."

The snow spirit is also aggrieved. Looking at Su Huai is like looking at a scum man, calling me honey when needed, and telling me to get away when not needed.

Of course, the look it gives Chu Siyu is also quite resentful.

The snow spirit has already learned from Su Huai that it is to be given to his future wife as a contract spirit. The snow spirit doesn't mind and is even a bit happy.

Now it seems that the timid girl is clearly the future wife in Su Huai's mouth, which is its future master.

But why is the master bewitched by a green tea snake spirit! I admit that my true form is not very good-looking, but how could it be uglier than that snake!?

If it weren't for the adult Su Huai saying the time is not right, I would transform into the third form and be so cute that you would bleed, believe it or not!

So angry, so angry...

The snow spirit suddenly raises its head and bumps into a tree with a thud, venting its emotions.

And Su Huai is now roasting meat in distress.

Because he just said that Chu Siyu is his wife, this gas can is not talking to him now, hugging a large handful of medicinal materials and refining pills by the pool.

Before Su Huai came, Cao Yi was the one who took the initiative to do this kind of miscellaneous work like roasting meat, but now this little expert in roasting meat is lying on his back, leisurely counting the stars with a comfortable expression.

He has a reason to be lazy. He has a comminuted fracture in his right leg. Even with the help of Chu Siyu, the alchemist, it won't get better in a short time.

You can't let a disabled person cook, can you?

Although Su Huai didn't say less of the forced words like "cooking doesn't use feet" and "your hand is not broken," in the end, he took the initiative to take over these tasks.

After all, when he rolled up his sleeves and wanted to make excuses to be lazy, he found that the wounds on his arm caused by the blood dragon's tail had all healed...

Blame the wealthy woman! Why refine such good pills!

Sooner or later, I will beat your butt crooked!

Feeling the malicious gaze from behind, Chu Siyu's hand trembled, and a furnace of medicinal materials almost went to waste.

Not long after, there was a rustling sound in the forest. The snow spirit and the Zishen Python raised their heads at the same time, looking at the shrubbery that was moving with vigilance.

A gray bear came out of the shrubbery.

This bear is one of the subordinates of the thorn blood dragon, and it is also the last five-order demon to deliver the "life-saving money."

The several demons in front of it were very sincere, and most of the medicinal materials they sent were spiritual plants above the fourth order. There was even a cat demon who wanted to pack itself and give it to Su Huai.

Su Huai, of course, refused with a righteous expression!

He is not this kind of person. Of course, if the cat demon's fur was not orange, Su Huai would not mind taking it in. It has nothing to do with whether it is a cat girl or not. Mainly, Su Huai wants to raise a cat.

Orange is not okay, orange is a pig, not a cat.

In the following days, Su Huai and his two companions lived very peacefully, with no people or beasts disturbing their tranquility.

Seven days passed, and the assessment is finally coming to an end.
