It's okay, he'll endure it!
He knew Ren Yingying wanted to stay in the border town for a few months, and he still had time.
"System, if the Prince of Jin finds out my identity, will I be punished?"
The feeling of being electrocuted and his hair standing on end was so intense that he never wanted to experience it again.
System: I don't know.
Qu Nian: What use are you, a piece of trash, to me!
System: You can try it.
You make your own path by walking it. Even where there is no path, you'll find one if you keep walking.
As for electric shocks and such, what does that have to do with the system?
Qu Nian flew into a rage. "Aren't you afraid I'll take you down with me?!"
Useless thing!
"Don't be afraid, because you can only die on your own, I am an immortal system."
Qu Nian: "If I die, who will be paired with that Poisonous Woman Ren?"
This initial task had already infuriated him.
System: "The next one will be better."
Okay, okay, the system has gone bad now.
Qu Nian so angry she felt like her lungs were about to explode.
Tang Zhuyun had already sent someone to take Qu Nian's four concubines to rest, while Ren Yingying kept complaining of being hungry.
"There's food in the little kitchen, you're lucky," Tang Zhuyun said irritably.
She took out a set of undergarments from the trunk and said, "These were made by Xiu'er before, but I haven't worn them. Change into them and relax. I'll have someone bring some hot water in a bit so you can take a bath."
"Alright! My Tangbao is the best!" Ren Yingying immediately started taking off her clothes.
Qu Nian: The door isn't closed yet!
What to do if the Prince of Jin takes advantage of you!
He didn't have time to be angry with the system; he angrily went and slammed the door shut.
Seeing his actions, Tang Zhuyun laughed and said, "Even Dog Meat has become sentient."
"Except for not being able to sleep, she's much better than a man." Ren Yingying deftly took off her clothes.
Qu Nian looked at her exposed fair shoulders, the red fish-patterned bodice, and her slender legs, and became even angrier.
How could she be so casual!
Tang Zhuyun rolled her eyes. "At least you know you can't sleep."
Ren Yingying: "... Want to get checked out? Let's change the subject!"
Tang Zhuyun was speechless. She sat down at the table and watched her eat, then said, "Why are you here? I just received your letter a few days ago, and you didn't mention it at all. How come you're here so soon?"
Ren Yingying said, "It was a spur-of-the-moment decision. I seized an opportunity and managed to fool Qu Hua. Otherwise, couldn't we have left openly and honestly? Besides, I was originally planning to leave in ten or twenty days anyway, so I figured I might as well leave a little earlier."
What are we going to do?
"I've come to find you!" Ren Yingying scooped up a large chicken leg and started gnawing on it. Then she took the other chicken leg out of the chicken soup, slurped up the remaining soup, and handed it to Dog Meat with practiced ease.
Qu Nian: "..."
Resist!
He didn't want to eat her saliva!
Who would dare give him a chicken leg they'd already sucked on!
But the aroma of meat is irresistible to a hungry dog.
--I resisted mentally, but my body wouldn't listen.
This is what it means to be unable to control one's own destiny.
Qu Nian couldn't help but grab the chicken leg with his mouth.
It smells so good!
While taking a big bite of the fragrant chicken leg, Ren Yingying said, "Didn't you say you were pregnant with twins? You know that's very easy to have a premature birth?"
Tang Zhuyun: "Come and help me give birth!"
Qu Nian: This guy is so ruthless and sarcastic, the Prince of Jin is really despicable!
I actually like this flavor.
He's different. If he regains his human form, the first thing he'll do is divorce that Poisonous Woman Ren!
Ren Yingying: "Do you know how high the maternal mortality rate is here?"
Tang Zhuyun knew that she was worried about her, and her heart warmed – this is what sisters are like.
"What if things don't go well for you, ptooey, ptooey," Ren Yingying said, "That's bad luck. But I still have to say..."
Qu Nian thought that she must have spat into the chicken soup.
This chicken is no longer edible.
"What if a C-section is needed? You'll have to do it yourself!"
"You can?" Tang Zhuyun asked, both touched and disgusted.
"Of course I can," Ren Yingying said. "I even worked a shift in the obstetrics and gynecology department back in the day, you know!"
"You just quit because you cried so much after the baby was born, right?"
Qu Nian: Why is she crying after the baby is born? She's definitely not quite right in the head.
Ren Yingying: "I just can't stand seeing women suffer, okay? You understand, I can empathize, right?"
So later, she did things that made women happy.
--Main job: Plastic surgery; side job: Drawing erotic novels.
"Besides, it's just a C-section, right? How difficult can it be? It's the most basic thing, isn't it?" Ren Yingying said. "And after the delivery? Will you need me?"
"You're supposed to take care of me during my postpartum period?"
"If I have a C-section, will I need cosmetic scar treatment? If I have a vaginal delivery, will I need to restore firmness?"
Tang Zhuyun: "... Alright, you can shut up now."
She knew that the conversation was bound to get out of control.
"What a hypocrite, there's no one else around." Ren Yingying finished her chicken leg and asked her, "Want some chicken wings?"
Tang Zhuyun's favorite foods to gnaw on were chicken wings and chicken feet, and she always remembered that.
"I won't eat it, it's greasy, it's all yours."
"Hehe, then I won't be polite." Ren Yingying continued munching, teasing her best friend, "This isn't the time to mess up the bed."
Tang Zhuyun blushed.
She regretted it; why had she been so talkative as to tell Ren Yingying!
"I've only ever heard of idols whose houses collapse, never men whose beds collapse. Prince of Jin must have something." Ren Yingying licked her fingers.
Tangbao stewed chicken is absolutely amazing!
Tang Zhuyun: "Anything is mine."
"Tch, even if there were something, I wouldn't want it," Ren Yingying said. "I've only ever been with Dog Meat; men, stay away!"
"Having no desires or wants?"
"Now, having no desires or wants, one will be self-sufficient in the future."
Tang Zhuyun: "... Let's change the subject."
Qu Nian: These two women!!!
"I'll leave after you give birth, it's a deal." Ren Yingying scooped out the chicken breast and fed it to the Dog Meat.
Qu Nian ate again, crunching the bones loudly.
"As long as the Prince of Min's Residence's residence doesn't make things difficult for you, you can stay as long as you like."
"They should be fine. Qu Hua went to Liaodong; it'll probably take several months to find her."
What did she do in Liaodong?
"I don't know, I only heard her say that she was looking for four things, one of which was related to the Prince of Liaodong."
Four things?
Tang Zhuyun felt a sense of familiarity about it.
"They're all desperate and will try anything. I tricked her by saying I was looking for something here, and she believed me, didn't she?"
What are you looking for?
"How would I know? It's not like I'm really looking for one." Ren Yingying rolled her eyes. "Do I look like I'm lacking a man?"
Qu Nian: You're missing a father figure to discipline you!
Tang Zhuyun was speechless.
"This matter needs to be resolved. Right now, the Prince probably can't help, so let's wait a bit longer." After thinking for a moment, she said, "I only ask that you don't do anything reckless; you must wait patiently."
Waiting for the day when the Prince of Jin becomes the ruler of all men.
Ren Yingying clearly understood. "Hehe, everyone's always talking about how powerful the Emperor's brother-in-law is, but why haven't they mentioned how amazing the Emperor's sister-in-law is? I'm going to have three thousand male concubines, and my name will be etched in history."
"To be infamous for eternity."
"Then I'm satisfied too."
Qu Nian: A woman's mouth is a deceitful devil.
You just said having dogs was enough, and now you want three thousand male concubines?
