“The money and the house…”
Luo Taozhi had not yet reacted and continued to murmur along with Xiao Nanchu’s words.
Halfway through, it was as if she had discovered something.
“Aren’t you just selling my body anyway!”
Luo Taozhi was fuming, a grinding sound coming from her mouth as she gritted her teeth. She glared at Xiao Nanchu, looking ready to pounce.
“I’ll kill you! You little bastard, you’re setting me up!”
“I knew you were lusting after my body, but you wouldn’t admit it! Now you’re not even pretending anymore, are you? Fine, fine. It looks like your father here will have to hide from you at home from now on!”
Luo Taozhi stomped her feet in rage, muttering non-stop as if she were about to explode on Xiao Nanchu.
“Don’t worry about that. I’m just asking you, are the living expenses and the housing situation solved? If not, are we both going to be sleeping on the streets tomorrow?”
“But… but… didn’t you promise not to sell me out?”
“Did I sell your body?”
“Isn’t this selling my body?”
“Is this selling your body?”
“This is selling my body!”
“This is not selling your body!”
“You… you you you you!!!!!”
Luo Taozhi hopped around in anger.
“Come here, you bastard! Your father is going to stab you once. If you don’t die, I’ll let you have your way tonight!”
As she spoke, she reached behind her head and pulled a Peach Blossom Hairpin from her pale pink hair.
“Bring it!”
Xiao Nanchu clearly felt a gust of wind blowing from Luo Taozhi’s hand!
The air conditioner wasn’t on, and the windows were closed. How could there be wind in an indoor environment?!
Then, that tiny hairpin suddenly transformed into a Pale Pink Longsword with a scabbard right before his eyes.
The scabbard was wrapped in thin, pink silk and embroidered with silver thread in a lotus pattern. The throat of the scabbard was inlaid with a circle of pink crystals that felt cool to the touch.
The hilt was wrapped in pink velvet vine rope, with a small pink jade bell hanging from it that made a crisp tinkling sound when moved. The handguard was a crescent-moon-shaped white bronze piece plated with pink gold, engraved with faint cloud patterns.
When the sword was drawn, it let out a clear cry like a phoenix. The blade was translucent, and sharp sword energy formed faint peach blossom petals that floated behind Luo Taozhi.
“Come on! Say one more thing! Take a strike from my sword. If you’re still alive, I’ll cooperate with whatever games you want to play tonight! I’ll lie down if you want, bend over if you want — I’ll even do the ‘oh-ho-ho-ho’ thing for you!”
Before the Pale Pink Longsword even touched him, Xiao Nanchu felt a stinging pain on his skin.
But Xiao Nanchu wasn’t afraid at all; he even felt like laughing.
Did he not know Luo Taozhi’s personality by now? If she was still talking, it meant nothing was wrong. If she were actually angry, would she bother wasting her breath?
She would have slashed him long ago.
However, since she looked like a ruffled cat right now, he needed to soothe her properly, or she would definitely give him a poke.
Though it certainly wouldn’t kill him, it would hurt!
More importantly, she definitely wouldn’t follow through on those promises afterward, so taking the hit would be for nothing.
“Alright, alright, stop showing off your divine powers.”
“No! Take one strike!”
“Stop messing around.”
“No!”
“Then you’ll have to pay me back. That way, I’ll tell Mom you’re just a friend and that I was just acting earlier.”
Xiao Nanchu pretended to take out his phone. His fingers swiped across the screen while he sighed, acting as if he felt sorry for Luo Taozhi.
“Great Fairy Luo is an Immortal Cultivator, so she’s different from the rest of us. She probably doesn’t need a phone, right? Even though I was supposed to take you to buy one because of Empress Mother’s request…”
“Well, it can’t be helped then. I don’t have money to fix the ceiling, and I don’t have money to rent a new place. Buying a phone for you is even more impossible — “
Seeing his finger hovering over a familiar profile picture, Luo Taozhi’s voice rang out.
“Wait a minute!”
When Xiao Nanchu put down his phone and looked at her again, the scene had completely changed.
The Pale Pink Longsword from before was gone, having transformed back into a hairpin on her head.
The angry expression on her face had vanished, replaced by a fawning one. Her voice became sweet and dainty.
“Oh, Father Xiao — I was just joking with you. How could I actually stab you?”
“Oh? Is that so? It was just a joke?”
“Mm-hmm! So about buying that phone!”
“Well — I was joking too. How could I actually buy one for you?”
Luo Taozhi’s expression froze, and her hand reached for her head again.
“Hey, hey! Of course I’m buying it. Empress Mother just said she wanted to add you on Green Bubble. How could I not buy you one?”
“I admit there was some suspicion of me selling you out, so let’s consider this phone my compensation to you, alright?”
Xiao Nanchu spoke quickly.
If he didn’t speak up, he was afraid a hole would really be poked into his body in the next second. He had no doubt that Luo Taozhi could put a hole in him while ensuring he didn’t die.
As for an Immortal Cultivator, no method would surprise him.
“Oh, look at you. We’re all bros here anyway. How could that be called selling my body?”
Luo Taozhi’s hand slid down from her head, her fawning expression unchanged.
It was as if she wasn’t the same person who had been black-faced and ready to draw her sword just a moment ago.
The two looked at each other and smiled, both thinking the same thing in their hearts.
‘As expected of my good son, you sure can change your face quickly.’
“Now that the housing problem is solved, I’ll book a Huolala to move our stuff, and then I’ll take you to buy a phone.”
Xiao Nanchu habitually patted Luo Taozhi on the head.
Luo Taozhi’s current height was quite a bit shorter than before. Combined with her fawning and cute expression, it always made his hand itch to do something.
The feel was indeed quite good, and he did it so naturally that Luo Taozhi didn’t show any sign of resistance.
Xiao Nanchu silently gave himself a thumbs-up in his heart.
But just as he was about to start packing, Luo Taozhi’s urgent voice came from beneath his hand.
“Oh, forget about Huolala! I’ll do it! The important thing is for you to hurry up and take me to buy a phone!”
Then, Xiao Nanchu only felt an invisible wind blow past him.
In the blink of an eye, everything in the room vanished. The sofa, the coffee table, the pots and pans — even the trash and stains on the walls and floor were gone.
Xiao Nanchu struggled to accept the scene before him. His voice was dry as he spoke.
“Did you put everything into your Spatial Treasure?”
“Hmm? Oh, something like that.”
“And the trash and stains?”
“That was just a quick Purification. Oh, don’t worry about that! Just take me to buy a phone already!”
“Wait!”
“What else are you waiting for?! Isn’t it clean enough?!”
“Give the large items back! Those belong to the landlord!”
“Oh, you should have said so earlier.”
The impatient Luo Taozhi waved her hand. This time, Xiao Nanchu didn’t even blink, staring unblinkingly at the spot where the sofa had been.
Unfortunately, he still could not figure out how she made the things appear.
The sofa just appeared out of thin air, as if it had never moved at all. There was no warning whatsoever!
