Marry a Rooster, Follow a Rooster; Marry a Dog, Follow a Dog

Yang Xuan tucked the silver dollar receipt into his chest pocket. There was quite a lot of Divine Iron—each piece was as large as a washbasin. As for the last book, damn it, the title had been blurred beyond recognition.

Ding~ Learning Thousand Mountains Shield successful.

Not bad, not bad. The items were put away under Huang Baiwan's astonished gaze.

"Some things are better left unknown. The more you know, the faster you die. Boss Huang, you should understand that principle, right?" Yang Xuan said as he stared at his fingernails indifferently.

"What? I didn't see anything." How could Huang Baiwan dare to say anything else?

Done. The harvest was pretty good. It was also time to head back; otherwise, Tingting would wait too long.

A young woman sat beside a desk covered with numerous financial account books, but her eyes stared blankly ahead, her thoughts having flown off to who-knows-where. Only the sweet smile that occasionally appeared on her face proved that she was thinking of something blissful and romantic.

"Tingting, I'm back." Yang Xuan's voice came from beside the window.

Tingting turned around and saw Yang Xuan standing by the window, struggling with the curtain that had caught around his feet. She burst out laughing.

Yang Xuan looked up helplessly. "I wanted to scare you, but I didn't expect to get caught by the curtain."

"Brother Xuan, are you all right?" Tingting hurried over to Yang Xuan and carefully checked him for injuries.

"Tingting, you don't need to worry anymore. I've dealt with Huang Baiwan. He won't target the Ren family again." Yang Xuan replied.

"Brother Xuan..." Tingting hugged Yang Xuan directly, breathing in his scent as hard as she could, as if it made her feel safer.

Yang Xuan stroked Tingting's hair. She was truly pitiful. She had originally been a wealthy heiress who never had to worry about food or drink and had a father who doted on her. Yet, in just a few short days, she had lost her beloved father forever. Her family business, which had been her means of support, had nearly been devoured by others as well. Just when she had been at a loss, Yang Xuan had appeared, subdued her transformed grandfather and father, killed the culprit, and saved the family business. He had allowed the girl lost in darkness to feel the warmth of the light.

Yang Xuan lowered his head and saw Tingting's smooth, jade-like face and cherry-red lips. An urge to kiss her surged within him.

At that moment, Ren Tingting raised her head, intending to say something, when her lips suddenly touched something. Looking closely, she realized they had pressed firmly against his lips, which had been waiting there. She was a little flustered, but she was soon intoxicated by the sensation... After a long while, their lips parted. Both of them were breathing somewhat heavily. She avoided his gaze and lowered her head, her pretty face slightly flushed.

"Don't leave tonight," Ren Tingting said, as if she had made a tremendous decision.

The two of them went to the bedroom and lay on the bed, talking about the seemingly boring things couples often discussed. Gradually, they drew closer and closer, and the temperature in the room seemed to rise considerably. Before they knew it, they were kissing again.

Yang Xuan's hand slowly moved toward Tingting's chest. Hmm, neither too big nor too small. Yang Xuan had been single in his original world for nearly two years and had not had a woman. After cultivating the National Arts and strengthening his body, the fire within him had long since grown stronger and stronger. He simply had not thought about such things while practicing. Now, however, it had been drawn out directly. Tingting was eighteen, at the age when love was just awakening and she was still a budding flower.

The two of them rolled about on the bed like thunder and lightning igniting a wildfire. Yang Xuan had had a girlfriend before, and after being influenced by the educational films of Japan, he was already an old hand. Ren Tingting, on the other hand, was like a fledgling bird and could only passively endure it.

One passionate night—there was nothing to say about it to outsiders.

Use your imagination for 5,000 words.

The next day.

Lazy sunlight filtered in through the window. The air was filled with the scent of male and female hormones, while the busy footsteps of servants came from the courtyard downstairs as they began cleaning. The birds on the branches outside chirped noisily.

Yang Xuan slowly opened his eyes and looked at Ren Tingting, who was still sleeping beside him with exhaustion written across her face. Warmth filled his heart.

Sigh. Although I know the plot, this world is real, and the people are real. Many things simply happen naturally and can't be predicted. Still, this is pretty good. At least Yang Xuan was enjoying the situation now.

"Hmm!"

"Tingting, you're awake?" Yang Xuan turned onto his side.

Ren Tingting saw that she was completely naked and immediately pulled the quilt over her head. Her face instantly turned bright red. Only after a long while did she reveal her head again and ask worriedly, "Brother Xuan, is your fiancée fierce?"

"Why do you ask?" Yang Xuan said.

"Marry a rooster, follow a rooster; marry a dog, follow a dog. Now that I'm with you, I'm your woman. Wherever you go, I'll go too. No matter how fierce your fiancée is, I still want to stay by your side." Ren Tingting spoke firmly.

What Yang Xuan did not know was that, during this era, the principal wife held absolute authority in the inner household. If a concubine had no background, then even if she were beaten to death, no one would care as long as it was handled discreetly. This showed how determined Ren Tingting was.

"I'll arrange this matter later. Don't worry. With me here, no one can bully you." Yang Xuan was speechless. Ren Tingting could accept it, but he had no idea whether Natasha would. It would be difficult. But since he couldn't figure it out now, he decided not to bother with it. After all, they were two different worlds. If necessary, he could just come over at regular intervals. Others hid their mistresses in golden houses; Yang Xuan would hide his across worlds. As a shut-in loser, he couldn't help imagining what it would be like if the two women were together. At that thought, a lecherous smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

"Tingting, I'm going back to the mortuary. I'll move over in a few days," Yang Xuan said as he got dressed.

"Mm, come back soon. I'm too tired. I want to sleep a little longer." Ren Tingting spoke lazily.

"I'm leaving. I'll tell the servants to bring you something to eat later." Yang Xuan said this before leaving.

Ren Tingting's heart filled with sweetness. This man still cared about her. Suddenly, a powerful wave of drowsiness swept over her, and she soon fell asleep again.

Yang Xuan returned to the mortuary. When he looked up, he saw a figure standing at the entrance, smoking a pipe.

"Master, good morning," Yang Xuan said nervously.

"Hehe, you had a wonderful time last night, didn't you? Tingting is a good girl. Treat her well and don't let her down." Uncle Nine blew out a smoke ring.

"Don't worry, Master. I'll definitely treat Tingting well." Yang Xuan nodded in agreement.

"I don't know whether I should tell you about this." Uncle Nine hesitated.

Yang Xuan was puzzled as well. What was it? Why was Master stopping halfway through? Curiosity gnawed at him. "Master, what is it? Tell me."

"Didn't you say last time that you wanted to study the Corpse Control Technique? In addition, your state of mind has been unstable lately. Your martial uncle will be coming again in a few days. He may not be good at many things, but corpse control is his specialty. His home is in a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, so you could go there for a while to clear your mind and cultivate yourself. But now that you and Tingting are like this, whether you go or not is up to you."
