Chapter 33 Is this guy crazy?
For Chu Chu, nothing in this world is more important than Lu Jin Yan. She was originally just an ordinary little flower, but one day she suddenly gained sentience and could feel the wind, the rain, the sunshine, the cold, and could also hear the chirping of insects and birds.
Everything was so new and unfamiliar. It was the first time she had ever known what her place was like, and the first time she had ever seen everything around her clearly.
Then she met Lu Jinyan. They chatted, cultivated together, and dreamed about the future. The days of cultivation were long and tedious, but thankfully she had Lu Jinyan as a companion, making everything so wonderful.
Her only wish in this life was to be able to stay by Yan Yan's side. She originally thought that it would take her a long time to transform into human form, so she worked hard to cultivate every day. But she never expected to succeed so quickly.
She was very happy. She could finally stay by her side properly. She never felt that doing these things was hard or tiring. She did it all willingly.
Yan Yan never treated her as an outsider or a servant. She always treated her as family and a friend, so she would accompany her whenever she wanted to do something, and she would do for her whenever she could.
Besides, it was just a matter of tending to the vegetable garden, nothing serious. Not long after Chu Chu finished tending to the garden, Lu Jinyan woke up.
It feels so good to have a good night's sleep; I feel so full of energy. The two of them were preparing dinner in the kitchen: "Oh, by the way, Chuchu, where's Moxuan? Hasn't he come back yet?"
"Hmm, not yet!" Chu Chu replied while busy cooking.
Lu Jinyan nodded, not asking any further questions, but instead calculating in her mind how to quickly maximize her favorability. Mo Xuan's injuries would heal in a few days at most, and then he wouldn't stay here any longer.
If he leaves, I don't know when I'll run into him again, and I might not be able to max out his favorability. I still have 25 points left. What should I do to max it out quickly?
Lu Jinyan had a bit of a headache. This wretched snake was unpredictable and really difficult to deal with.
When it was time for dinner, Mo Xuan had not returned yet. Chu Chu left him a meal, and the two sisters ate dinner by themselves. Because she had slept for too long in the afternoon, Lu Jin Yan was wide awake at this time.
So he took Chuchu for a walk in the street to digest their food. The streets were brightly lit at night, as bright as day, and the number of people on the street was just as great. There were vendors shouting everywhere, making it a lively and bustling place.
It felt like they were on an ancient street, not at all like they were in the demon realm. The two of them looked around and had a great time, while Mo Xuan on the other side was not so happy.
He spent the whole day searching the town and finally found a trace of Chu Li's presence, but when he went there, no one was there anymore.
He tried to contact Chu Li, but because his injury had not fully healed, it was a bit difficult. Fortunately, he finally managed to get in touch with him, but it would take some time for him to get over.
He was puzzled. Since Chu Li had been here before, why hadn't he found him? He had tried to sense Chu Li's presence, but no matter what he tried, he couldn't find it, which seemed rather illogical.
However, he couldn't investigate further now and could only wait for Chu Li to come find him. He didn't know if anything had happened there, or if his mother had found out he was missing.
Back at Lu Jinyan's residence, Mo Xuan's tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed a bit when he saw the note posted outside the door.
He tore off the note and went to the kitchen to bring out the food himself. In fact, he didn't need to eat anything at all, but for some reason, he had now developed the habit of eating three meals a day.
At first, he simply thought these things tasted good and it wouldn't hurt to eat them. Besides, he was injured at the time and needed to replenish his energy and recover.
Now that he has almost fully recovered, he still eats three meals a day, and it must be said that what she makes is really good.
The thought of Lu Jinyan caused Mo Xuan's relaxed brows to furrow again. He should leave when Chu Li arrives, but he felt reluctant to leave. If it were back then, he would have left without hesitation.
But now, he couldn't do it. Over a month of living together day and night had made him completely accustomed to having her by his side. Besides, he loved her, and he didn't want to leave her.
But he had to leave.
"Ding! Mo Xuan's favorability +1! Current favorability: 76!"
"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully raised Mo Xuan's favorability to 76. Rewards: 1000 points, 100 Mandarin Duck Stones, 1 Exquisite Bracelet, 2 Azure Spirit Pearls, 2 Seven-Colored Feather Robes, 2 Radiant Splendors, 3 Shark Sands, 4 Low-Rank Wind-Slaying Swords, and 1000 Demon Crystals. Please keep up the good work, host!"
Lu Jinyan was having a great time shopping with Chu Chu when she was startled by the system's announcement in her mind.
Mo Xuan's favorability rating has increased again? I'm really a bit confused.
"Tongzi, what exactly does Moxuan mean? When I was fawning over him and trying to please him, he didn't appreciate it at all and didn't give me a single penny. Now that I haven't done anything, he's suddenly given me a huge raise. They say a woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea, but I think a man's heart is even more unfathomable!"
He's a male demon, and a very handsome one at that... Lu Jinyan added this thought to herself.
"Host, stop studying men's hearts and how unfathomable they are. You should keep trying. Mo Xuan's isolation shield has been removed, and someone will be coming to find him soon. If he leaves then, your goodwill will be gone indefinitely. Don't forget, you still need to buy healing pills for Chu Chu. We still have other targets to pursue!"
The system was completely baffled. What time was it? Why wasn't the host worried at all? Could it be that she already had a plan?
"Oh dear, urging me won't help. I've tried everything these past few days. Look at this favorability rating. If it weren't for his recent erratic behavior that increased it on his own, I would have thought the counter was broken!"
Lu Jinyan wasn't unwilling to try; it was just that Mo Xuan was too strange. You treat him with all your heart, but he thinks you have ulterior motives. Moreover, he's unpredictable and really hard to handle.
In the original story, this guy only started to change after he got together with the female lead, but that only applied to her. He still treated outsiders with the same cold and aloof expression, as if they owed him millions.
Speaking of which, none of the female lead's men are easy to deal with. If it weren't for the female lead keeping them in check, they would probably fight ten times a day!
Tsk, when she looks for a husband in the future, she'll have to find someone gentle and easy to manage. She doesn't want her home to be in chaos every day!
Lu Jinyan and Chu Chu strolled around the streets for quite a while until they were both tired, and then they prepared to go back.
Just as I arrived at my doorstep, I ran into Mo Xuan, who was about to leave. "Mo Xuan? Are you going out so late?"
Lu Jinyan looked surprised. It was so late, where was he going? Could it be that the system's jinx had really come true and he was going to run away?
"You know it's so late? What's a girl doing running around so late instead of going home?" Mo Xuan said with a dark face, glancing at Lu Jinyan before turning and leaving.
"???? Is this guy crazy? I'm just shopping, why is he getting angry?" Lu Jinyan was completely bewildered; this guy was really funny.
"Yanyan, is he angry because we went out to play without him?" Chu Chu was a little afraid of Mo Xuan. She didn't know why, but she felt scared whenever she saw him. So when she saw Mo Xuan just now, she instinctively hid behind Lu Jinyan.
"Tch, how old is he? He's not a child. If he wants to go out and play, can't he go by himself? Why do we have to take him? Besides, what is he, a grown man, doing shopping with the two of us girls?" Lu Jinyan rolled her eyes. She didn't believe that Mo Xuan was angry because of this.
"Host, is it possible that he's worried about you?" The system couldn't stand it anymore and kindly offered a reminder.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible. Who is he? He is Mo Xuan. How could he possibly worry about me? Besides, I have you, I have Chu Chu, and I have magical artifacts for self-defense. I'm just going shopping. What is there to worry about?"
"System, stop making wild guesses all day long. Someone like him probably won't worry about anyone else in his entire life!" At this point, Lu Jinyan realized something was off. He could actually worry about people, like the female lead! But she wasn't the female lead, so what was there to worry about?
She'd rather believe in a windfall than believe that Mo Xuan would worry about her; that reason was ridiculous.
Lu Jinyan waved her hand, pulled Chu Chu inside, and said, "Who cares? Let him do whatever he wants. He's been spoiled rotten every day."
After boiling water and washing up, the two went back to their respective rooms to rest. The weather was getting a bit chilly, and Lu Jinyan thought that she would have to take out the clothes in her space, sort them out, and pick out some thicker ones.
To be honest, the clothes the system gave her are really great – warm in winter and cool in summer. She personally likes them a lot, but the colors are a bit too bright, which Chu Chu doesn't like. So she plans to take Chu Chu to buy two new outfits in the next few days.
She prefers simpler styles; the clothes the system gives her are too complicated. She spends all her time in the kitchen or the vegetable garden, so these clothes are really not suitable for her.
Lying in the warm quilt, Lu Jinyan felt comfortable all over. Sure enough, there is no place like home. Lingquan Villa is nice, but she still prefers her own little courtyard.
Her own bed, her own blanket, the familiar environment, the familiar smell—she slept much better here than at Lingquan Villa!
Lu Jinyan lay in bed thinking, and eventually fell asleep. After she fell asleep, a figure appeared in her room.
Mo Xuan looked at the sleeping woman on the bed, walked over gently, sat down on the edge of the bed, and reached out to gently cover her with the quilt.
