Chapter 93: Girl, Call Me Hubby!

As Shen and Shi Qingzhuang was already done having breakfast, the dishes, which was enough to fill seven or eight people, were completely emptied by the duo. Mostly by Shen himself.

Only now did Shen realize he planned to visit the beautiful chef of the Earthly Paradise but due to the sudden danger of the Skysword Sect, he had to leave fast and it completely slipped his mind.

‘Forget it, if I find the appropriate time I’ll do it. Otherwise, there’s no need to go there specifically. Cooking isn’t my main path...’ Shen thought as he buried this idea to the back of his mind.

He saw Shi Qingzhuang in front of him looking hesitant so he smiled gently, “Qingzhuang, do you want to say something? You don’t have to hesitate, I will answer anything possible.”

Shi Qingzhuang felt ashamed for being seen through so easily but she still asked, “Do you plan to go outside this year again?”

“Yes, more like I’ll leave in three months at most and one month at least.” Shen didn’t hesitate a bit while responding. He only used Hundred Miles City as his starting point of cultivation and at that time though, that was only an excuse. He came to this city because he wanted Shi Qingzhuang, Yu He, Mingyue Gelou and Wenren Sisters. It’s not that he didn’t have some weird ideas about Qing Yi, Qing Shui’s mother but it turned out to be impossible. Especially since she knew him from his childhood. If it wasn’t for him realizing that most of the beauties were older than him and leaving the city soon after, he would really have no hope to gain Yu He and Feng Wuxi’s affection. Feng Wuxi’s affection was completely unexpected to Shen. In fact, he didn’t even remember her in his memories but he felt he had a chance with her and left no tactics to pursue her.

Now he had no reason to stay in Hundred Miles City anymore and it will only hinder his progress. Especially after going to the journey inside the secret realm alone, he realized, that type of adventure suited his cultivation more rather than closed-door cultivations.

Hearing Shen’s reply Shi Qingzhuang turned silent. Apparent signs of sadness could be seen on her face. Maybe she was trying to suppress it, but tear filled her eyes as Shen started to panic slightly, “W-wait, Qingzhuang what happened? Although I am going, it’s not as if I’m going alone! When I go I will take you girls with me, I am just moving to Greencloud City!”

“Girls?” the sadness from Shi Qingzhuang’s face suddenly disappeared and was replaced by an extremely focused look.

Shen was baffled by her sudden change. Even he won’t be able to change his expression and state of mind this fast! “Figure of speech, just a—”

“You’re lying! You think I haven’t heard rumors of your relation with Yu He Inn Mistress and Wenren Wushuang of the Night Fragrance Court!” her voice and expression took 180-degree turn and she had an extremely stern face.

Shen was really afraid now, not because she was inquiring about his harem but because of her sudden change. He knew how much she committed to himself but he still couldn’t be sure of her decision. It was truly the situation you would express as ‘digging one’s own grave’. “They are—”

Shi Qingzhuang didn’t let him speak but continued but now her voice became calm and cold, “So, they are true after all? How many girls you have a relation with? You can’t take such thing so lightly. Just getting”

Shen truly didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He heard in his previous life, even presidents are sheep in front of their wife but, he couldn’t help but feel this situation was really not a good feeling. She was just going on and on without letting him speak a bit.

Sighing slightly, Shen stored the table inside the Immortal Realm. The distance between them was hindering him. Shen didn’t feel he was great at explaining his feelings but he definitely won’t suck to convey them. From her voice, it was painfully obvious that she felt insecure and to Shen it only looked like a child throwing tantrum. Maybe she opened herself completely to him, hence she acted like this. Otherwise, he never saw her being talking so much.

Shi Qingzhuang was stunned by seeing the table disappearing. She had no idea how Shen did that. She read about Interspatial Silk Sachet before but at this time, she didn’t even have any clues in her head.

Sitting beside her, he took her hand on his and said in a gentle and soothing voice, “I admit that I’m a bit womanizer, er... maybe more than a bit and I’ll have a lot of women in the future but I will never abandon anyone. I’m not taking anyone’s feeling lightly either and I’m not playing with you either. Heh, try running away from me, I’ll catch you even if you run to the world’s end.”

Shi Qingzhuang went silent. She was kinda relieved and also at a loss at the same time. This, which man calls himself a womanizer? Isn’t it basically asking for a beating? But when he said with such gentle voice she couldn’t help but feel her heart moved. She reckoned even if Shen was deceiving her she couldn’t hate this young man, at least not after hearing this.

“Girl, call me hubby.” Lost in her thoughts, she suddenly heard whispers near her ears.

“Hubby?” unfocused, she muttered out loud. Only then did she realize, she was tricked into calling him hubby!

“Yes, Zhuang’er?” Shen said with an almost unerasable smug look on his face. Shi Qingzhuang had the sudden urge to beat him, then and there. But with a sudden knock on the door they both separated and Shen took out the table on its original place.

“Come in,” Shen said, storing the wine bottle inside the realm once again. Although he won’t get drunk, he didn’t like the idea of drinking in the morning, especially when there was no special occasion.

The waitress cleaned the table with the help of the other two girls as she presented the bill. Shen took a glance on the bill as he paid with a little extra tip. The bill for wine was separated from the food, they clearly conveyed their intention that he didn’t have to pay for it if he wished. Shen didn’t act petty and paid for it. He only warned her so that she won’t try anything funny.

Shen stretched his body after leaving the inn. The morning sunny weather was already replaced by snowfall. He asked as he turned around, “Hey, do you—”

But his mouth lacked any words after he turned to Shi Qingzhuang. In the beautiful white snowfall, a red colored dress hugged her slim body. Her long hairs gracefully dropped below her shoulders. In her hands, the white bouquet wrapping red flowers created a beautiful contrast on her hands. She looked akin to a snow princess, especially with her smile that even paled the beauty of this white snow.

Shen felt a strange calmness spreading his body as well as his spirit. The Qi of Absolute Strengthening Technique circulated around his body automatically as another five strand formed in no time. Combined with his previous cultivation he had a total of 44 strands of surrounding his body!

By the time he came to his senses, Shi Qingzhuang was already standing in front of him, giving him a questioning glance. Shen didn’t know what happened just now but he realized one thing. He wanted her to keep smiling, he wanted to her to be happy, forever and ever.

“Let’s go,” Shen found the little girl they bought the flowers from, and he walked over. Patting the girls head from behind, he asked curiously, “Little girl, what are you doing?”

“Ah?!” the little girl jumped up in fright, seeing its the familiar older brother she patted her chest, “Just when I thought you were a good brother, you turned out to be a bad uncle. Grandma told me many times, I shouldn’t trust anyone easily. I almost got tricked once again.”

Shen ignored the ‘bad uncle’ part and asked again, “Why aren’t you going back yet? You will catch a cold, girl.”

“Uncle, can’t you see I’m going back? I went to buy soup for grandma,” she showed the bag on her hands and pouted cutely.

“Oh, but why only milk and soup?” Shen found it weird, seeing only milk and soup. Shouldn’t she buy something tastier?

“Grandma is sleeping for a few days, she can’t eat anything. I can only feed her soup and milk,” The little looked sad saying this, she indeed wanted to buy tastier looking meats but her dear grandma couldn’t eat them in her current state.

Hearing the little girl, Shen’s heart suddenly clenched tightly.
