Master Bai! This Celestial Fox Spirit Is Asking For Divorce

Chapter 160: Episode 14.3

The situation wasn’t supposed to be funny. However, what’s laughable is the fact that Bai Tingfeng’s eyebrows are sparring against each other. He seemed to be really convinced that if he let go of Shen Yuan’s shirt, his omega would go half nude in front of the netizens.

"Bai Tingfeng," Shen Yuan’s voice sounded like a lullaby. Actually, he’s been exercising his maximum self-restraint not to laugh in his husband’s face.

"No one is taking off their shirt here. Supposedly, I would only show them my recovering wound to reassure them that I’m doing fine."

Shen Yuan’s words came to Bai Tingfeng like a bullet, and almost instantaneously, blood rushed straight to his face.

Someone just realized that he overreacted.

Meanwhile, the netizens had long been past the point of needing assurance. With this much "public" display of affection, they are sure that Shen Yuan is in good hands now. Worrying is out of their consideration now.

And what’s on their radar now is the interaction between the most powerful couple in Country C!

Whether they are existing fans or just curious passersby, they are taken by how natural this famous couple is towards each other. They are fond of seeing celebrities like Shen Yuan and Bai Tingfeng have moments that are familiar to them.

This made the power couple look approachable. Hence, they unknowingly earned themselves a sizeable number of fans who got emotionally invested in them.

[Holy cow! This newly seen side of Bai Tingfeng is so cute! I never imagined the gentlemanly guild master of Baihu Guild this overprotective towards our Shen Yuan!]

[Overprotective, my ass. A jar of vinegar is the more accurate description for him! Hihihi!]

Since the phone is propped in front of the couple, both can see all the characters floating on the screen.

Shen Yuan and Bai Tingfeng had a mutual blush on their cheeks and sparkles in their eyes. However, the former had a cheeky grin, while the latter barely kept his cool in front of his husband’s fans.

Seeing that Bai Tingfeng is about to pop at this point, Shen Yuan cheekily slapped Bai Tingfeng in the butt and said, "Come on, wash the cabbages now. So I could start cooking the Pork, Mushroom, and Cabbage Soup."

He flashed his deep dimple at the handsome alpha, then joked, "Don’t worry, I won’t be undressing myself this time."

Bai Tingfeng bit his lips as he looked at his mischievous husband. He swears he would grab Shen Yuan by his wrist if they were not doing the livestream. Whenever the omega smirked like a cunning fox, a strong desire to pin Shen Yuan down and bite his neck overwhelmed him.

Unfortunately, this isn’t the best time and place for this. Shen Yuan is a recuperating patient. Any form of monkey business between a couple is not advisable.

He faced the camera to clarify himself before doing Shen Yuan’s orders, "I’m not jealous or anything. I’m just taking care of my husband’s image."

[Is that so? Even though Shen Yuan posed half-nude several times in a magazine shoot, he graced the runway once with a partially opened polo?]

Bai Tingfeng was not unnerved when he saw this comment.

The past and present are two different things. What they have right now is not comparable to what they had before. Now, if Shen Yuan shows his skin in his modeling gigs, he’ll see that it will be as rare as the rain shower in the desert.

However, if this comment is something he could overlook, what followed made him drop the cabbage he just held.

[What do people expect? Just because they are visually attractive couples, they wouldn’t be possessive, insecure, and jealous of each other. Of course, as long as they have feelings, they will protect each other from third parties.]

[Correct. Is there anyone who’s seen how Qin Mian’s livestream? Shen Yuan got hit on by a hunter! Even if he’s already a dad and married, he’s still effortlessly attractive to all sexes!]

"What?" Bai Tingfeng’s face looked like he was about to murder someone.

The celestial fox spirit, who forgot that short incident, looked at Bai Tingfeng with innocent, donkey-like eyes.

Shit! He doesn’t deserve to be thrown in the hot seat! He made a skillful maneuver when he turned that nameless hunter down!

Is Yanyan done taking a bath? He badly needed his son’s backup before his father grilled him alive! Gu Jinpeng, once Yanyan is done, bring him to the kitchen! Asap!

However, no matter how long his litany is in his head, Bai Tingfeng is eager to press for some answers. The alpha’s lavender-scented pheromones are leaking a miniscule amount, signaling that he’s serious.

No tactical bullshit allowed.

Shen Yuan instinctively raised his hands in front, "Wait a minute, Tingfeng. There’s a reasonable story behind that!"

Bai Tingfeng raised a big ball of leafy cabbage that perfectly settled in his wide, strong hand. "Go on, we have plenty of time. This is a perfect time for storytelling since most of your fans weren’t fortunate enough to watch your appearance in that live stream."

Shen Yuan suddenly felt pressure weighing on his shoulders. He swore to his fluffy and pure nine-tails that he was clear of guilt, but why did it feel like a pressure cooker was cooking him?

Thus, while Shen Yuan is boiling the meat in the water, he multitasked by telling how he turned down a nameless extra to his jealous husband.

While Shen Yuan was doing mental and conversational acrobatics to keep Bai Tingfeng happy, Chairman Mao watched the live while enjoying a pleasant homemade dinner with his spouse.

The smugness on his face while watching was as pronounced as the savory taste of his medium-cooked stake. He didn’t expect the idea he and Shen Yuan devised to work well.

Truthfully, there’s no well-structured plan for their maneuver to hinder Shen Zhaohui and stir the Shen Yuan’s frosty enemy from the Cardinals. It was just a clear idea that their cunning brain conceived.

But before anything else, Shen Yuan and Chairman Mao both anticipated that Shen Zhaohui would most likely use the public rather than ask for help from the upper crust of the government.

Shen Zhaohui should better be intelligent enough to know that his connections in the political world don’t hold a candle against Chairman Mao himself. Chairman Mao Huanlong’s influence as the strongest S-Class mage of the country is equal to that of the prime minister.

Shen Zhaohui couldn’t get what he wanted if he decided to use this route where Chairman Mao stands undefeated.

Hence, that leaves only one possibility. Shen Zhoahui is more likely to steer the direction of public opinion. A field where a celebrity and a government official are weak.

"There’s only one method to win against public opinion: winning the public itself. No matter how big the controversy was, as long there are enough fans to back us up, we will not be forced to take action," he remembered Shen Yuan saying with a mischievous smile.

Now, he could finally understand why Shen Yuan was confident. He knows that they will effortlessly win the hearts of many.

Well, who wouldn’t when Shen Yuan shows a new breed of S-Class awakeners? Shen Yuan is not the typical unreachable powerhouse. He’s the first-ever S-Class awakener that could be rightly called the People’s Favorite.

"However, what if the Hunter Association was targeted and forced to make a decision? What should he do?

Chairman Mao’s deep thinking was disturbed when Bai Tingfeng’s voice popped up without warning.

"Do I dislike that Shen Yuan’s working as a dungeon marshal?" Bai Tingfeng sounded confused as he read that question from the netizen.

Pork, Mushroom, and Cabbage Soup is a relatively easy-to-cook dish.

They managed to execute the rest of the cooking method while interrogating Shen Yuan. So, when they let the pork and vegetables simmer in low heat, the omega is finally cleared of all suspicions of two-timing.

Now, to rest his mouth from talking, he’s letting Bai Tingfeng handle the question and answer himself.

Bai Tingfeng is aware of their goals, so now that this crucial question has popped up, He knows that he should give the best answer that is helpful for Shen Yuan and the Hunter Association.

Shen Yuan, who’s on standby in front of the stove to monitor their simple dish, mouthed to his husband, "Answer nicely, Tingfeng. Or else I’ll punish you."

Bai Tingfeng just shook his head with a smile. He doesn’t need to be told he will forever be the slave of Shen Yuan’s wishes.

"I don’t get why Shen Yuan’s temporary position matters. As long as Shen Yuan thinks he could learn from it and is okay with the setup, then I’ll support him. And besides, I don’t think that a dungeon marshal is a lowly position," He turned to the omega; his eyes contained fondness that didn’t need to be worded loudly to make it known.

"My husband demonstrated how the work of dungeon marshals makes a difference in the security of the hunters inside the dungeon. So, instead of making it sound like a low position, why don’t we respect them and appreciate their presence? Because with them, they effectively lower the fatality rate of the dungeons."

Shen Yuan unwittingly smiled. Bai Tingfeng never really changed. He’s still the jerk who appreciates everyone around him.

Following Bai Tingfeng’s example, Shen Yuan bravely declared, "The short time that I worked in that position made me realize the importance of the works in Hunter Association. That’s why no matter what happens, I’ll stay and work for everyone’s safety."
