My wife is an invincible female ghost.

Chapter 23 "Earrings"

"You really are a Taoist priest," Chu Shan said.

Xu Qingyuan is using chopsticks to subdue a wasabi shrimp ball.

Upon hearing Chu Shan's words, he looked up and down at him, then looked down at the dusty gray Taoist robe he was wearing.

Do not understand.

"Was I not clear enough?" Qingyuan asked.

"...Not exactly," Chu Shan said.

His suspicions about Xu Qingyuan's identity were certainly justified.

For example, although she was wearing a Taoist robe, Chu Shan was just an ordinary person, and he couldn't distinguish between a human and a ghost with the naked eye.

If Lin Jing were in the real world, he would only guess that the child might have autism.

For example, if there are ghosts in this world, then it wouldn't be surprising if there were other races in the world as well.

Mermaids, elves, zombies...

Therefore, Chu Shan was not sure whether the others besides himself were pure-blooded humans.

Oh, it's also possible that someone in his family is a crossbreed... Oh no!

He's going to become a skewer too!

But for now, in his mind, there's an 80% chance that Xu Qingyuan is a pure human and a 90% chance that he's a Taoist.

"So what exactly is your relationship with my wife?"

"..." Xu Qingyuan paused.

When she raised her head, the glittering golden earrings swayed on her earlobes as she moved.

Chu Shan's gaze was drawn to the earrings.

"We're currently in a client-vendor relationship, so we're definitely not friends," Qingyuan said.

"And I think you should ask your wife about this."

Chu Shan: "…………"

Chu Shan stared blankly.

To be fair, these earrings are actually not suitable for Xu Qingyuan at all.

When it swayed, he would always think of how every night he would put Feng Wan's earlobe in his mouth, along with the earring, and then sway it on Feng Wan's body.

Those fragments from the late night flashed through Chu Shan's mind.

The fact that these earrings were now on another woman gave him a very strange feeling.

Or... should she return these earrings to him?

He could give her another gift, or simply prepare cash.

But Xu Qingyuan frowned.

She was originally smiling and waiting for Chu Shan to continue, and she was also quite curious about how Feng Wan would define the relationship between the two of them.

She waited a while, and then she saw Chu Shan staring blankly at her...

Xu Qingyuan: "..."

Hey! You're married!

"What are you looking at?" Qingyuan asked, her eyes wide.

"I wasn't looking at anything." Chu Shan looked away—he'd bring it up later; it was too awkward to bring it up now.

This room has a bathroom.

Just like a hotel, everything is prepared in a way that is complete.

When Chu Shan first arrived, he dared not investigate, fearing that he might uncover some restrictions that would cause trouble for the immortal master.

But now Chu Shan finally dared to investigate with peace of mind.

There was a wardrobe containing several sets of clothes that fit him. That was all.

There were no extra bedding. Of course, there was no sofa in the room either, only a swing chair facing the window. When you have free time, you can sit on it and look down at the sea of ​​flowers.

But the problem now is...

He didn't even have the option of spending a few nights on the sofa.

If he had known Lin Jing was there earlier, he should have taken the opportunity to ask her to give him another room.

"you……"

Chu Shan turned around hesitantly and saw Xu Qingyuan standing by the bed taking off her clothes, leaving her only in a white undergarment.

When she looked up at him, she reached out and pulled out his wooden hairpin as well.

Her long, black hair was spread out loosely.

Chu Shan: "..."

"What?" Xu Qingyuan asked.

As she spoke, she took off her earrings and placed them on the bedside table. Then she walked to the window, glanced at them, and went over to draw the curtains.

These movements were fluid and seamless.

Chu Shan choked for a moment, feeling that he should be the one asking that question.

What is she going to do?

...He's still here, so why is she already taking off her clothes?

Isn't this a bit too unrestrained?

Chu Shan tried his best to ignore it, and he tried his best to appear calm and composed.

He asked in all seriousness, "Can you conjure up a small bed?"

Xu Qingyuan: "..."

Qingyuan said, "I am a Taoist priest. I only know how to exorcise evil spirits, pray for blessings, and chant scriptures. I cannot conjure things out of thin air."

But she did very little of the actual work of warding off evil spirits.

Sometimes she performs exorcisms. Most of these are for children suffering from depression, whose families believe the children are possessed by evil spirits, so they ask her to prepare a bowl of talismanic water for the children to drink.

Then came some prayers and chanting.

People hire her for weddings and funerals.

With these meager earnings, she would also grow some vegetables on the land around the Taoist temple, gradually keeping her Xuanyun Temple afloat.

He lived his life as a recluse.

Xu Qingyuan glanced at Chu Shan again, seemingly noticing his concerns.

"I'll sleep on the bed, it's such a big bed," she said. "We江湖儿女 (people of the martial arts world) don't care about formalities."

But in reality, Xu Qingyuan wasn't that unconventional.

When she used to conquer various ultimate dungeons, she gritted her teeth and endured those life-or-death situations, no matter how difficult or dangerous the environment was.

But she was a lone wolf; she always acted alone.

Naturally, they never considered how to allocate beds when a man and a woman are in the same room.

However, Qingyuan is the type of person who rarely compromises her own well-being.

She had already been thrown into this instance by Feng Wan and had resigned herself to her fate. But in other aspects... she felt that she could still struggle a little longer.

For example, a bed.

—If she doesn't take the initiative, she's going to sleep on the floor!

No! Absolutely not!

Although Chu Shan is already married, it doesn't matter.

She didn't do anything to him.

If Feng Wan doesn't prepare two beds for them, that's Feng Wan's problem. They're not friends, so what does it matter to her whether Feng Wan is jealous or not?

She wanted to get revenge on her in such a sneaky way!

She chose to wear those earrings for the same reason—gold and silver treasures didn't interest her, but she was especially happy to see Feng Wan give in to her.

As for Chu Shan...

The choice has been left to him; whether or not he wants to sleep with her is entirely up to him.

As they were talking, Xu Qingyuan had already quickly gotten into bed and was sleeping on the innermost side.

She has the ability to cleanse herself, so she won't wash up. She'll bathe and enjoy herself when she gets back to her Taoist temple.

Xu Qingyuan warned, "The bed is huge, be careful not to touch me. Otherwise, I'll stab you to death with my sword!"

Chu Shan: "…………"

This is a difficult situation.

Let him think about it, let him think about it.

He wasn't a江湖人 (jianghu person, a person who lives in the martial arts world), and he was still somewhat conflicted about the strict separation of men and women.

Chu Shan silently took a change of clothes from the wardrobe and went to wash up. He kept thinking and thinking, and his mind drifted to the swing chair by the window.

He'll take a nap first.

Let him go back to bed when he really can't stand it anymore.
