Mistaking My Wife for a Spirit Pet - Chapter 30
Chapter 30
Things didn’t go as planned.
The situation progressed to the point that Nan Zhi least wanted—taking care of Yu Shu in bed.
Actually, it was her fault.
She was supposed to just stay in the room and eat vegetarian food for two days to calm her mind, but she accidentally stirred up Yu Shu’s inner fire.
It was the fire of anger.
Yu Shu’s eyes were misty. Her scalding hot cheeks unconsciously rubbed against her hand. The air she exhaled was filled with heat.
Nan Zhi froze for a moment and stiffly pulled her hand away.
“Na-Nan Zhi?” The confused little white rabbit’s voice was soft.
Nan Zhi suddenly got a headache. She sighed softly and took out the East Sea Profound Ice from her storage bag. She held it in her hand and slowly absorbed it.
In a moment, her fingertips were covered in cold frost.
Spiritual energy gathered in her palm. She held her trembling hand and slowly placed the Purifying Mantra on Yu Shu’s scorching hot forehead.
For a very, very long time.
Yu Shu weakly called out, “Nan Zhi.”
Nan Zhi’s brows relaxed. She softened her voice. “Feeling better?”
A hand, tainted with a burning sensation, suddenly grabbed hers. Nan Zhi couldn’t help but ask in confusion, “Hm?”
Yu Shu sniffled. Her voice was thick and soft. “I’m not feeling well.”
Both of them knew what the reason for her discomfort was. But for Nan Zhi, at this moment—
If she had no feelings for Yu Shu, she couldn’t cross that line and act inappropriately. If she did have feelings for Yu Shu, she should even more so not cross that line and act inappropriately.
So.
She could only cast the Purifying Mantra again and again. After a very long time, she asked again, “Are you still not feeling well?”
This time, Yu Shu shook her head.
She was actually very uncomfortable.
It even affected her thoughts. She couldn’t help but think—she’s like this, so why is he still casting the Purifying Mantra?
But she couldn’t say it directly. She could only follow Nan Zhi’s intention at the moment, pretending to not be so uncomfortable and enduring it.
Why?
Her eyelashes were wet. Yu Shu was so uncomfortable that she shed tears.
Seeing this, Nan Zhi felt terrible all over. She knew why she was crying, but she was powerless to fix it.
“Nan Zhi.” The little tiger’s eyes were wet, her nose was red, and her voice was soft and gentle.
“…Hm?”
Just as she let out a questioning sound, Yu Shu leaned forward.
Nan Zhi subconsciously leaned back. Her hand couldn’t help but press against Yu Shu’s burning forehead. She silently recited and cast the Purifying Mantra again.
“Why are you dodging?”
The little tiger, who was rejected, looked confused.
Nan Zhi couldn’t help but frown. Her emotions were fluctuating, and she felt a surge of frustration. Seeing Yu Shu like this made her very frustrated.
Seeing that she didn’t answer, Yu Shu persistently continued to move closer.
This time, Nan Zhi pressed down on her shoulders.
“Nan Zhi.”
“Why not?”
That persistent and intense look. That look of discomfort and tears.
A sense of gloom was stuck in her heart. Nan Zhi opened her mouth. “Close your eyes.”
Hearing this, Yu Shu stopped moving. The desire in her eyes struggled for a few seconds. She obediently closed her eyes.
And Nan Zhi—her heart was beating fiercely.
She quietly looked at those slender eyelashes. She suddenly raised her hand, put her index and middle fingers together, and gently placed them on Yu Shu’s lips.
They were warm, full, and soft.
It was a very strange feeling. So strange that her fingertips couldn’t stop trembling. But in reality, she only paused for a second before quickly pulling away.
When she pulled away, Yu Shu slowly opened her eyes.
Nan Zhi was feeling guilty at first, but after their eyes met, she was stunned.
The intense desire in her eyes disappeared and turned into a surging feeling of liking. The liking was sparkling, so her already clear apricot-shaped eyes became even brighter.
The person with the bright apricot-shaped eyes had a red face and softly called out, “Nan Zhi.”
Nan Zhi’s eyelids suddenly twitched.
The next second, she was grabbed by her collar and pulled down.
“Bang.”
Nan Zhi subconsciously propped herself up on the side of the bed, but the force suddenly became heavier. Her jade-like face got closer and closer.
Her lips softened.
Nan Zhi couldn’t help but widen her eyes.
Warm breath gently sprinkled on the tip of her nose. She subconsciously held her breath and didn’t dare to move.
Suddenly, her lips were bitten.
Yu Shu was asking, “Why are you distracted?”
However, her lips were gently licked as if to soothe her.
A while ago, a ripple had appeared in her calm heart, but now it was as if a spring rain had suddenly appeared, pattering and deafening.
Nan Zhi couldn’t bear this sound.
Her fingers, which were pressed against the bed, trembled. She moved violently, forcefully pulling away, and pressed her palm against Yu Shu’s forehead.
A white light burst open.
It was a very weak and not very useful Purifying Mantra.
Was she reaping what she sowed? No, she just didn’t want to do anything to Yu Shu when her feelings were almost non-existent.
So, the Purifying Mantra, again and again.
Apparently, Yu Shu, who was interrupted, was unhappy.
The light in her sparkling eyes flickered. The way she pursed her lips made it hard for anyone to not see her dissatisfaction. She only frowned, and the light in her eyes fell.
“What are… you doing?”
Her usual rising tone at the end of her words now drooped.
The number of decisions she regretted was growing, and Nan Zhi regretted it again now. Facing this little tiger, she couldn’t do anything else and could only helplessly make a request. “Can you endure it a little longer?”
And in the end—
Nan Zhi was stunned. The stunned Yu Shu was truly obedient and endured for a very, very long time.
She endured until she couldn’t maintain her human form and turned into a half-grown little white tiger. She was unconsciously…
She felt very uncomfortable. In her daze, she vaguely felt that cold hand on her head, gently saying:
“Be a good girl.”
“Can you endure it a little longer?”
The little white tiger closed her eyes in discomfort and endured for a very, very long time again.
For a very long time.
It was so long that she was in a daze, not knowing how long she had slept in Nan Zhi’s arms. So long that moonlight poured in through the window. So long that the sun and moon changed places and the sky became bright again.
It was so long that when she looked out the window, Su Qingyi’s voice rang out:
“Senior Sister, why haven’t you arrived yet?
“I’m coming.”
Nan Zhi lowered her eyes and glanced at the little white tiger in her arms. She got up quietly.
It seemed to have been woken up. A small whimper came from under the blanket. Soon, a pair of misty eyes peeked out.
Nan Zhi couldn’t help but pat the tiger’s head. “Wait for me.”
“I want to go too.”
“…”
Nan Zhi’s face instantly turned dark.
“No!”
A white mist appeared. The little white tiger turned into her human form. She looked at her with a wronged and pouting expression. The light in her eyes was very heart-softening.
But—
“Looking at me like that won’t work either.”
With this condition, what demon wouldn’t be able to tell?
“Why?”
“No why.”
The two demons quietly confronted each other. In the end, Nan Zhi gave in. She explained patiently, “I just…”
“I don’t want others to see the Young City Lord’s appearance.”
“Does the Young City Lord feel the same way?”
Yu Shu was stunned. Although she hadn’t expected Nan Zhi’s words, she still nodded gently. “Yes.”
Nan Zhi suddenly smiled.
…
After leaving the auction house, Nan Zhi quickly flew to the venue. She arrived just in time for the drawing of lots.
The Immortal Sect Grand Meeting ended at the Soul Transformation stage. After all, the Grand Ascension stage and above were those old monsters who opened their peaks to take in disciples. And this group of cultivators who were just at the Soul Transformation stage happened to be the leaders of their respective sects.
Nan Zhi could guess the specific disciples who would be fighting with her eyes closed. For example: Yuyin Sect’s Feng Zhiwei, Hehuan Sect’s Chi Xi, Spirit Sword Sect’s Yu Siqi, Great Buddhist Sect’s Zhong An, Great Saber Sect’s Lu Hu… and also Miaoyin Sect’s Shen Mian, who was sick earlier. Looking at the situation the other day, she might also come.
Now, it was Lu Hu versus Yu Siqi.
A saber and a sword, and both were top talents in their sects. This indeed attracted many cultivators to come and watch.
Below the stage, Nan Zhi was bored. Her junior sister, Su Qingyi, had just left. She paused and asked hesitantly, “Senior Sister…”
Nan Zhi looked at her in confusion. “What?”
Su Qingyi smiled awkwardly but politely and reminded her, “The smell on you.”
Nan Zhi’s nose twitched, and her expression froze.
She just realized that the sensual scent had marinated her. No wonder the looks from others were so subtle when she was drawing lots earlier.
She smelled like a tiger.
If anyone knew Yu Shu, they would immediately lock onto the target.
Nan Zhi closed her eyes, a headache coming on.
One second later, she waved her hand expressionlessly. The smell faded a little. After all, after all the kissing, touching, and hugging, it was impossible for it to completely disappear.
After a moment of silence, her good-for-nothing friend came over.
Ning Wan pinched her nose, her eyes filled with ridicule. “What’s that smell on you?”
Nan Zhi waved her hand expressionlessly.
A light blue spiritual energy entered Ning Wan’s nose. Ning Wan was stunned.
“Can you still smell it?”
“…”
The scent on her body couldn’t dissipate for a while, so this group of people who couldn’t smell anything could still mock her?
However—
Shen Mian appeared out of nowhere and asked hesitantly, “You and Yu Shu…”
Nan Zhi’s expression was blank. She waved her hand again.
The Nine Provinces gained another person who temporarily lost their sense of smell.
Not only that, Chi Xi, who had a good relationship with her, also came over. Her tone was subtle. “Nan Zhi, you…”
She waved her hand again to seal her sense of smell. Practice makes perfect.
Chi Xi, who didn’t know what was happening: …
Shen Mian and Ning Wan: …
The two of them were speechless. But while they were speechless… sabers suddenly fell from the sky!
Everyone was shocked and quickly dodged.
Nan Zhi was stunned. “This magical artifact is too…”
Ning Wan, who was pulling Shen Mian to dodge a saber, said angrily, “Isn’t it refined by your beloved?”
Nan Zhi’s mind went blank. “…My beloved?”
When she said these secret words, the others all looked at them.
But Ning Wan was completely unaware. “Yu Shu, of course. The tiger scent on you is so strong. Are you still trying to hide it from us?”
Nan Zhi: …
Damn it.
How could this idiot reveal this kind of news?
But—
Since Yulin City had already grandly sent a bride price to the East Sea, what was she still being coy about?
Nan Zhi nodded expressionlessly. “So what? I sent you a luminous pearl last time. What are you sending me in two months?”
Ning Wan was stunned for a moment and then began to ponder seriously.
“Two months from now?”
A sudden voice interrupted her thoughts. Everyone turned to look and saw that it was the one from the Phoenix Clan—Feng Zhiwei. This person also had some status. Nan Zhi’s ex-fiancée whom she had broken off her engagement with.
Everyone’s smiles solidified. The reason was that, besides Nan Zhi, everyone present had a little unpleasantness with this phoenix.
“It started in Guyuan City?” Feng Zhiwei frowned and continued to press, “Is the wedding in two months?”
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, everyone’s expressions changed.
Feng Zhiwei stopped her public questioning and sent a private message:
‘The tiger scent on you is very strong.’
‘I smelled it when you were drawing lots.’
For some reason, Nan Zhi felt a sudden sense of pressure. She asked: ‘And?’
‘You and Yu Shu’s matter, can’t you tell me?’
Nan Zhi frowned and quietly looked at the abnormal phoenix.
‘The wedding in Yulin City is in two months.’
Feng Zhiwei pursed her lips tightly. Her face suddenly turned ugly.
A long time passed. She didn’t hear any more private messages. Nan Zhi turned around, but… she had only taken one step when she heard a voice in her head again.
‘Nan Zhi.’
‘Are you still going to Xuanming Mountain?’
So it was about this. She thought it was strange that the phoenix who never cared about her business was suddenly curious about this.
Nan Zhi’s footsteps didn’t stop. She didn’t look back.
“Yes.”
