Chapter 180 - What To Do if You’re the Villain and the Heroine Likes You

Initially, He Yunxiao followed Nanzhu Wife to join in the teasing, shouting "for a hundred years, no changes allowed". Later, he stole glances at Chu Chu's profile. The more He Yunxiao looked at Chu Chu, the more he felt that she was quite happy, though she didn't show it on her face. Chu Chu, apart from blushing, rarely displayed any positive expressions. Her usual demeanor was either expressionless or cold. But now, the way she interacted with herself and Nanzhu Wife, it seemed like a mother cat playing with a kitten with her tail. Impatient, yet full of love. Originally, He Yunxiao intended to keep Chu Chu busy with minor matters of the Iron Eagle Gang, but now, he had a bolder idea. Since Chu Chu didn't dislike Nanzhu Wife, as long as Nanzhu was willing to hold Chu Chu, could he... make Chu Chu help with "taking care of children"? Logically speaking, this method was worth a try! Chu Chu could even protect Nanzhu Wife better than himself! Thus, he would have more time to focus on the matters of the consumption vouchers. Today was already the fourth day scheduled for redemption with Sister Jiang, and he still had to earn ten thousand taels in the remaining three and a half days, which was no easy task. He Yunxiao hadn't forgotten why he brought Chu Chu to the pavilion – it was not only to adjust the Shura Arena but also for Xiu Xiu's matters. With Nanzhu Wife present, He Yunxiao had to discreetly message Chu Chu saying, "Chu Chu, Xiu Xiu needs me for something?" Chu Chu: "Mmm." Xiu Xiu immediately darted out. Xiu Xiu: "He Yunxiao! You promised to help me reconcile with big brother!" He Yunxiao: "Next time, for sure. Do you have anything else? If not let Chu Chu come out." Xiu Xiu: "I..." Before Xiu Xiu could say anything else, she was cut off by Chu Chu. Chu Chu: "She's fine. Do you have something to discuss with me?" He Yunxiao: "Yes. No more messages. I'll tell you in person." He Yunxiao switched back to the public channel and whispered a few words to Meng Qingrou. Meng Qingrou blinked and glanced at Chu Chu, then nodded. Seeing their exchange, Chu Chu furrowed her brows slightly. With Chu Chu's cultivation, if she wanted to hear what He Yunxiao was saying, she could hear every detail. However, she disdained it and wouldn't bother consciously trying to hear ordinary messages not transmitted with inner strength. Listening in like this was beneath the "Heavenly Sovereign Chu" as they would describe her, and as for messages transmitted without inner strength, due to the sender's limited cultivation and the natural diffusion of inner strength, it was as if the words were spoken directly into her ears. She wouldn't willingly listen to them. After quietly discussing with Nanzhu Wife, He Yunxiao stood in front of Chu Chu, and formally said, "Chu Chu, I have something I'd like to ask for your help with." "Go on." "I want you to go shopping with us." Shopping? Chu Chu had never heard such a strange request for help. When she was in the Jianghu, people asked her to kill, requested guidance, or even asked her to be the founder of a sect. No matter the price offered, Chu Chu found these requests very boring and didn't want to entertain them. The breeze blew through the Marquis's pavilion. Chu Chu looked up at He Yunxiao, her expression neutral, but deep inside, she genuinely thought that He Yunxiao was much more interesting than most people. "Boring. Not going. Not in the mood." Upon hearing Chu Chu refuse three times in a row, He Yunxiao immediately revealed a smile. Based on his understanding of Chu Chu, her rarely speaking usually meant she was in a good mood. Without any more idle chatter, He Yunxiao skillfully took Chu Chu's hand and pulled her up from the stool. "Chu Chu, let's go shopping." "I'm not interested." "Come on, Rou'er, give Chu Chu a hand." "Oh, okay." Meng Qingrou obediently got up and reached for Chu Chu's other hand. When their delicate hands touched, Chu Chu's slightly cool hand immediately recoiled. "Don't touch me." Meng Qingrou held her hand up, frozen in place. They were just holding hands a moment ago... Chu Chu didn't like being touched by others, something He Yunxiao was aware of. He just didn't expect that Chu Chu would not even let Nanzhu Wife, who had just been holding her hand, touch her. He Yunxiao looked at the fair, delicate hand in his grip and thought to himself that he had endured countless beatings to get to the point where he could casually touch her. He had to admit that being able to touch Chu Chu, even if it resulted in a beating, was worth it. Most people wouldn't even have that chance. He Yunxiao, seeing that Chu Chu had moved enough, turned to Nanzhu Wife and said, "Rou'er, pull her sleeve." Meng Qingrou nodded, "Okay." So, He Yunxiao held Chu Chu's hand, and Meng Qingrou pulled her sleeve. A ninth-grade martial artist and a girl with no martial arts skill forcibly sat Chu Chu, the strongest in the world, into the carriage. There were regulations for the official carriages used by different ranks of personnel in Qi State. For a Marquis, their carriage would be spacious enough to comfortably seat three people side by side. But, the reluctant Chu Chu didn't quite cooperate with He Yunxiao's wish to sit in the middle. After climbing into the carriage, she sat in the middle of the seat and refused to budge. This left He Yunxiao to choose between sitting next to either Chu Chu or Nanzhu. He Yunxiao was speechless. Interacting with more than one female lead required careful consideration, as it could easily escalate into a small-scale Shura Arena, as it had now. Despite this, He Yunxiao didn't doubt that this was a deliberate test by Chu Chu. Knowing Chu Chu as well as he did, he was certain she wouldn't resort to such a tedious method. If she wanted to take action, it would involve her using her Bell of Controlling Souls to make someone tell the truth with a simple shake. He couldn't help but glance at Chu Chu once again. It seemed like it had been a long time since Chu Chu had used the bell on him. The last time was when Xiu Xiu had used it. As if noticing He Yunxiao's gaze, Chu Chu turned to him and asked, "Are you not going? " He Yunxiao smiled, "We must, Rou'er, you and Chu Chu sit together." In the carriage, He Yunxiao sat on one side while Chu Chu and Nanzhu Wife sat on the other, with half a person's worth of space between them. He Yunxiao looked at the two female leads with a smile. Chu Chu was looking half-closed eyes at the empty space, while Nanzhu Wife was staring at him with her beautiful big eyes, blinking. He Yunxiao comforted, "Rou'er, don't worry. We'll try going out to the streets and if it doesn't work, big brother will take over." "Okay." Chu Chu made a soft "hmm" sound, not understanding the cryptic conversation between the two. Ma De drove the carriage and brought it to a stop. He then said, "Young Master, we've arrived at the commercial street in the north." With that, He Yunxiao quickly got off the carriage, adeptly placed the stairs for getting off the carriage, and first helped Nanzhu Wife down, then helped Chu Chu down. The streets were crowded, causing Meng Qingrou to instinctively stick close to He Yunxiao, slipping her hand into his, separating his fingers, and waiting for him to hold her hand. He Yunxiao didn't react immediately. The proactive hand even started fidgeting, gently twisting and rubbing the palm, as if urging it to hurry up and hold hers. Seeing this, He Yunxiao was at a loss; it seemed Nanzhu Wife had a lot of potential and room to grow in the future. Chu Chu frowned, watching the scene, looking quite displeased. He Yunxiao laughed, "Chu Chu, come here." "Why?" "Come on." Reluctantly, Chu Chu took a few steps. "Come a bit closer." Chu Chu begrudgingly took a few more steps. If some of the Jianghu big shots who had their legs broken saw this scene, not only would it shock them, but they would also all bow down to He Yunxiao as their teacher. This person who wouldn't deign to order people around was being ordered around by someone? Seeing that Chu Chu was close enough, He Yunxiao turned to Nanzhu Wife and said, "Rou'er, I'll be quick; you just endure for a bit." "Okay." Before Nanzhu Wife could finish speaking, He Yunxiao "tore" her off and put her on Chu Chu. Chapter 181: The Future Looks Bright Tl. Soothsayer.io
