Black Belly Wife

Chapter 213: Grand Finale (2)

On the way back to the inn.

"Since when have you been interested in the position of the Great Leader?" Murong Yunshu asked.

Chu Changge said, "I promised Old Man Shenji that I wouldn't let a scheming one become the Great Leader of Martial Arts."

Murong Yunshu raised her eyebrows. "So you think you deserve that job?"

"Is Madam insinuating that your husband is also a scheming one?" Chu Changge's eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a hint of threat in his words.

Murong Yunshu turned a blind eye to his threat and reacted nonchalantly. "Don't slander me. I always mock people openly. I never insinuate."

She really did it openly. Chu Changge looked aggrieved. "Why do I feel like I'll be treated better if I was a living dead? I really want to drop dead right now......"

Murong Yunshu: "......"

Chu Changge: "If I die, will you be gentle with me?"

"I will be so gentle until I put you back alive." Murong Yunshu said with narrowed eyes.

Chu Changge had only heard about putting people to death, and he had never heard of putting people back alive. However, he could imagine that the method she would use would be as cruel as when she wanted to put them to death. So, Chu Changge very sensibly chose to obey his wife's opinion. "I better stay alive." [E]

"It doesn't matter if you want to drop dead right now. When I need you, I will put you back alive." Murong Yunshu spoke very gently.

Chu Changge was devastated. He could only say helplessly, "Madam, it is against the law to murder your own husband."

"I already divorced you."

"......it is also against the law to kill someone who is not your own husband."

"Actually, I think," Murong Yunshu continued after a pause, "If I really kill you, my name will go down in history and be remembered forever." After saying that, Murong Yunshu looked pensive and seemed to be thinking about the feasibility of this matter.

Chu Changge's face was full of black lines as he embraced his wife's slender waist and let his voice flutter in the wind, "Madam, let's change the topic."

Murong Yunshu was silent for a long time before saying, "Then let's talk about those days when you were brainless."

"......" Those unbearable times were like a nightmare. If it wasn't for Old Man Shenji's rescue and his encounter with Bai Yefeng, he was afraid he would still be the brainless Ah Chang without any memory. When he thought of Bai Yefeng, he suddenly asked, "Feng Cheng, where is Bai Yefeng?"

Feng Cheng looked puzzled. "If you're asking me, then who should I ask?"

Chu Changge: "He said he was invited out of the valley by you."

Feng Cheng was slightly surprised. "You've met him?"

"Yes." Chu Changge nodded. "After Old Man Shenji used his inner strength to force poison out from my body, he told me to make sure I came to the Martial Arts Assembly to prevent scheming people from getting their way. I had not recovered my memory from three years ago. I had no concept of the Martial Arts Assembly, but I remembered Yunshu. He also told me that Yunshu's life would be in danger if I went here late. So, after I buried him, I immediately rushed to the venue and met Bai Yefeng. He helped me recover my memory with his latest silver needle acupuncture method and rushed to the venue with me. I was so focused on saving lives that I overlooked him."

Did you really come to save lives? Obviously, he was more excited to catch up with his wife. East, South, North and West were deeply disgusted with their Leader Daren's behaviour of talking such nonsense.

Feng Cheng said, "I didn't see him when you came."

The rest of the crowd also said the same thing as Feng Cheng: they hadn't seen Bai Yefeng.

"Could something have happened to him?" Chu Changge looked worried.

Everyone else was also worried. Only Murong Yunshu, who was as calm as ever, spoke out after a moment of silence. "Maybe he met an acquaintance on the way and was so busy catching up that he ignored you."

Chu Changge said, "Besides me, he only knows Feng Cheng from outside the Wuhua

"No, there is another person." Feng Cheng explained, "I remember he once said he had another old acquaintance outside the valley. One of his purposes for leaving the valley this time is to find that person. Perhaps what Yunshu said about him meeting the person he was looking for halfway is true."

"What did you call her?" Chu Changge directly ignored the main point of Feng Cheng's words.

Feng Cheng froze and replied, "Yunshu."

"Call her elder sister-in-law from now on." Chu Changge unhappily corrected the way Feng Cheng's called his wife.

Feng Cheng was rendered speechless. Was this even the time to discuss the correct way to address someone?

Murong Yunshu, on the other hand, smiled but did not say anything. When it came to matters involving her, this guy would haggle over every ounce. That was good of him.

In the blink of an eye, their group had arrived at the inn's entrance.

North Guardian proposed. "Let's drink 300 glasses of wine tonight to celebrate the Leader's return. Do you think it's a good idea?"

Chu Changge: "Not good."

"Uh. Why?" North Guardian was devastated.

Chu Changge: "I don't have time at night."

How could he have no time? As far as he knew, Leader never lacked time! North Guardian was puzzled. "Do you have to practice your sword at night?"

Chu Changge glanced at Murong Yunshu ambiguously and laughed, "Well, I want to practice my sword."

North Guardian: "Those people are not your opponent at all, Leader. There's no need for you to practice."

"It's necessary. I haven't practised for a long time, and I've become rusty." Chu Changge smiled even more ambiguously as he picked Murong Yunshu up and flew upstairs. "Which one is your guest room?"

"If I say none of them, will you put me down?"

"I will settle the matter right here."

Murong Yunshu was speechless for a while. "The first one to the right."

Downstairs, it finally dawned on North Guardian as he muttered, "So it's actually practising that kind of sword."

West Guardian rolled his eyes at him. "Idiot."

North Guardian: "That's right. I don't just eat for free, I also live for free." [E]

West Guardian was shocked. When did Lil North become so glib?

At this time, East Guardian patted South Guardian's shoulder and encouraged him, "Look, even Lil North has become smarter. You have to step up your game."

South Guardian: "......"

"You should step up your game too." Feng Cheng said to Ye Xiao Qing.

She had always been smart, okay! Ye Xiao Qing pouted defiantly and questioned, "Why did Brother Chu carry Sister Murong away? Don't they have to eat dinner?"

Feng Cheng replied very profoundly. "They are eating."

Did they? Ye Xiao Qing was about to ask a follow-up question when she suddenly felt the ground vibrating. She immediately turned her black eyes towards Feng Cheng and asked, "Do you feel that?"

Feng Cheng: "Feel what?"

Ye Xiao Qing: "Earthquake."

Feng Cheng: "No."

Ye Xiao Qing: "Try to feel it carefully."

Feng Cheng: "No need to feel. That's the vibration coming from a bed upstairs. That's not an earthquake."

Ye Xiao Qing: "How can the bed upstairs vibrate this much?"

Feng Cheng thought about it and calmly said, "I don't know. Why don't you go upstairs, knock on the door and ask?"

Ye Xiao Qing's phoenix eyes slightly narrowed. She stared at him for a moment before saying, "I'm not going to ask if you're up to no good!"

Feng Cheng chuckled. "It seems that you still know something."

Ye Xiao Qing was embarrassed. She stomped upstairs when she suddenly remembered the source of the tremors and hastily halted her steps.

Feng Cheng laughed when he saw this scene and said, "Just stay down here and have a drink with us."

Early the following day. Murong Yunshu opened her eyes in a daze and saw a wickedly handsome face with a silly smile. She leaned deeper into his arms and said very gently, "Chu Changge, if you dare to leave me without saying goodbye again, I will castrate you."

Chu Changge laughed twice and said, "Such words should be said with a little more momentum. Your tone is too gentle. Try saying them once more."

Murong Yunshu: "That's not gentle. That's weak."

Chu Changge: "......feeling hungry?"

Murong Yunshu: "No."

Chu Changge: "Then why did you sound so weak?"

Murong Yunshu: "Tired."

Chu Changge: "Tired? You're tired after waking up early in the morning? Madam, are you sick?"

"I'm not sick. I'm just tired." Murong Yunshu buried her head in his chest and answered sullenly.

Chu Changge suddenly understood, and a frivolous smile immediately emerged from the corners of his mouth. "Madam, are you tired because you collected too much rent last night?"

He still wanted to ask when he already knew the answer. Murong Yunshu snorted without answering.

"You're not the one who did all the work. So, how can you be tired like this?"

"...try being beaten by me all night instead." Murong Yunshu said grumpily.

A string of black lines immediately appeared wildly on Chu Changge's forehead. He had worked so hard last night until it made her feel like she had been beaten. "Madam, you just send a blow to your husband's self-confidence." He pretended to be a disgruntled husband. Please read this chapter at xinshou blogspot com.

Murong Yunshu: "Your self-confidence is so huge that even this single blow won't hurt it even for a bit."

"......" She really knows how to strike back at people.

Murong Yunshu continued: "I'm going to sleep until dark today. Don't bother me."

Chu Changge raised his eyebrows. "There is a Martial Arts Assembly today."

Murong Yunshu: "I'm not the one who wants to be the Great Leader."

What a clean skim on the matter. Chu Changge laughed. "You have to go to cheer for me."

"I'm afraid of causing public outrage."

"......" She really doesn't want to give him some face.

"Don't you think it's more imposing for me to sleep here while you go and take the Great Leader title back to me?"

"Don't think so."

"Hey. How can two people with different values be together."

Now she wants to talk about values? Why didn't she just question why two people of different genders can be together? After a moment of speechlessness, Chu Changge urged gently. "It's time to get up."

"You get up first."

"Lazing around in bed is not the style of a young lady."

"I'm not a young lady anymore. I'm a middle-aged lady. Middle-age ladies can laze around in bed."

"......" Why didn't she just say that she was paralysed and could do nothing but sleep? This dainty and delicate woman could really say anything just to sleep in. Chu Changge sighed helplessly and coaxed, "Accompany me to the Martial Arts Assembly today, and I'll let you sleep all day tomorrow."

"I don't want to sleep all day tomorrow."

This sounded like a deliberate attempt to pick a fight. Chu Changge suddenly realised that he must have done something to upset her and hurriedly recalled it in reverse chronological order. He worked hard to pay the overdue rent last night, so it shouldn't have happened then. What was left was only the scene in the afternoon at the venue...... suddenly, with a jolt, it finally dawned on Chu Changge.

I see.

The corners of Chu Changge's mouth curled into a tiny smile as he asked, "Madam, are you angry with me?"

Murong Yunshu: "Angry at you for what?"

Chu Changge: "Angry that I swore in front of Old Man Shenji yesterday that I would find an ideal husband for Ye Xiao Qing."

Murong Yunshu: "No."

Chu Changge's sword brows knitted slightly as he pondered for a long time before asking, "Then what are you angry about?"

Murong Yunshu hesitated momentarily and said, "I'm not angry about anything."

"But you are." His tone could chop the nail and slice the iron.

Murong Yunshu was silent for a moment before expressing her unhappiness. "Miss Ye likes you a lot."

"That's her business. I don't like her."

"But her grandfather died to save you. You can't leave her alone for that reason."

"I didn't leave her alone. I entrusted her to Feng Cheng."

Murong Yunshu: "That's your wishful thinking. It's best if she can accept Feng Cheng. What if she doesn't want to accept Feng Cheng? Women are stubborn, especially when a woman falls in love with a man. She will not turn back unless she is mentally and physically exhausted with her heart full of holes."

"That's her business." Chu Changge once again pleaded innocent in the matter. His tone dropped a few notches, obviously unhappy that Murong Yunshu tried to pull him and Ye Xiao Qing together.

Murong Yunshu heard the displeasure in Chu Changge's voice, so she softly explained. "I care so much about this matter because Old Man Shenji exchanged his own life for yours. You should know that this is more important to me than anything else. I can't ignore the last request from an old man who risked his life to save my husband. Neither can you. You should be a man with a conscience."

Murong Yunshu's words made Chu Changge silent for a long time. "That's why I would rather be a heretic evil demon." He said in a low voice. There were mixed feelings in his heart. If he hadn't woken up when the Old Man Shenji had lost all his internal strength to him, he would definitely not have accepted his help. It was enough to owe someone for saving his life once. If he owed too much, he did not have so many bodies to devote his life to. [+]

"How about giving her some silver." Murong Yunshu had a sudden idea.

"Good idea." Chu Changge was overjoyed and suddenly recalled the time she saved him and laughed. "Back then, after you saved me, I actually thought of sending you some silver as a reward, but my mother said that was too insulting, so I didn't send them."

At these words, Murong Yunshu's expression suddenly looked odd. There seemed to be a few black lines flickering on her beautiful face, sometimes not.

Chu Changge's black eyes narrowed as he saw this reaction from her. He stared at her and questioned her with uncertainty, "You wouldn't, by any chance, want to be insulted, would you?" As far as he knew, when she saved him, Murong Mansion was not short of money. Besides, wasn't he worthy enough? As a businessman, she should know how to throw a long line to catch a big fish.

The corner of Murong Yunshu's mouth twitched as she responded, "Of course not. There is plenty of silver in my house."

"Then why is your expression so odd?" Chu Changge was suspicious.

Murong Yunshu awkwardly pursed her lips and said, "Because I often insult people."

Often insult people? Chu Changge was flabbergasted for a moment, then it dawned on him, and he laughed out loud. "Isn't this what people called people who don't belong together, don't get to live together."

"......" Murong Yunshu, however, felt very guilty. After doing some calculations, she had been insulting people since she was eight years old and was about to insult more people. Ye Xiao Qing was the next one. Since she could not give her spiritual satisfaction, she would meet Ye Xiao Qing's material needs. She would send her a lifetime of inexhaustible wealth. Even if, in the end, she could not accept Feng Cheng and find a husband of her choice, her days should not be too bad.

So be it. Let's just be a happy nasty person. She could use her entire family fortune or even her own life to repay Old Man Shenji's kindness, but to trade it with Chu Changge, she would not let him out no matter what.

After having decided, Murong Yunshu suddenly felt that the burden in her heart was much lighter. She was no longer depressed and unhappy with Chu Changge. She actively got up and dressed, preparing for the Martial Arts Assembly.
