Chapter 278: Chapter 276 Dad Likes Aunt Best

Qin Zhao returned home and it was already night.

Chu Yan had prepared a table full of dishes and was sitting at the dining table waiting for her.

But his gaze towards her was incredibly resentful, "I thought you were going to run away from the wedding."

After running around outside, Qin Zhao’s anger had subsided. She came back to see the table full of dishes, so she felt very good and forgave him.

"You’ve prepared everything, how could I possibly run away from the wedding?"

As soon as she sat down, Chu Yan handed her the chopsticks.

After eating a few bites contentedly, Qin Zhao spoke to him seriously, "You can’t touch me today!"

They had been intimate for two consecutive days, and Chu Yan, when it came to such matters, did not know the limits and didn’t know when to stop, which exhausted her greatly.

She even doubted whether she was a qualified cultivator—how could she get tired so easily? And wasn’t Chu Yan just a mortal? Shouldn’t he get tired before her?

Qin Zhao bit her chopsticks, her mind cluttered with many thoughts.

Chu Yan looked at her and chuckled lightly, "Okay."

"Has there been nothing much at the hospital lately?"

Qin Zhao felt he was so free every day; he had been at home during this time.

"I’ve taken a long leave of absence. I’ll go back after the wedding and honeymoon."

"Shangguan Qiu contacted me today; an ancient tomb was discovered in the minority autonomous region of Han Nan. The archaeological team from Imperial University is going to check it out, we can join them then.

I haven’t been to the minority autonomous region yet, so consider it a trip."

If the archaeological team encounters any supernatural events, she could also help resolve them.

Chu Yan nodded, "Auntie said she wants to return before New Year’s Day. She wants us to celebrate New Year’s Day with her, along with Qin Yu and Su Xiaotong."

"That’s still a while away; we can enjoy ourselves a bit more outside."

There was still over a month until New Year’s Day.

After dinner, Chu Yan conscientiously did the dishes and house chores, tidying up the house. Qin Zhao didn’t need to worry about anything and just needed to snuggle on the couch, playing with the cat and dog.

Watching Chu Yan busy himself, she thought that if she were a common person, having a husband like Chu Yan would be quite good.

He could grace the hall and attend to the kitchen. He was also good-looking; she could be responsible for earning money to support him.

But Chu Yan himself was also very capable of earning money.

Suddenly, Qin Zhao sighed, thinking of how uncomfortable she would be when Chu Yan died someday.

After advancing to Golden Core, Qin Zhao began fasting and did not need to eat. But the food Chu Yan made was too delicious for her to give up this pleasure.

Being taken care of so well daily, not having to worry about trivial matters, and just focusing on her career felt too comfortable.

To thank Chu Yan for his care over the past few years, she would definitely find him an auspicious burial site in the future. She could even spend more money to build him a luxurious tomb.

Thinking about it, Qin Zhao blurted out, "I would definitely be uncomfortable after you die."

Chu Yan paused for a moment, "If I died, would you miss me?"

"I would definitely miss you. Who wouldn’t miss someone in their family when they die?"

"..."

Chu Yan was originally moved, but why did that sound so strange?

"Then I need to live a bit longer; I can’t let you be sad."

"Sure, I hope you live longer too."

Qin Zhao didn’t take Chu Yan’s words to heart.

She thought he just wanted to live a long life, nothing more. But little did she realize, like her, Chu Yan would not die!

Chu Yan thoughtfully wiped the table, recalling the content from the Cultivation Secret Manual in his mind: the higher the cultivation, the longer the lifespan, allowing him to stay with Qin Zhao forever.

The method to quickly improve cultivation was simple—absorb the power of Dead Souls.

Those Dead Souls that he had personally killed harbored strong resentful energy that could make his cultivation soar rapidly.

But Chu Yan did not plan to do so.

He intended to absorb the power of naturally formed wandering souls. Some wandering souls lost their consciousness and could only drift in the Human World, eventually turning into a whiff of yin energy.

Because he knew well, if he massacred innocents for the sake of cultivation, Qin Zhao would despise him.

His purpose was to be with Qin Zhao, not blindly pursue great power; committing wrong deeds for it would only make Qin Zhao despise him, a loss too great.

Moreover, Xiao had also mentioned that the cultivation methods recorded in this manual had certain drawbacks. Indiscriminate killing would create negative karma, making it easy for Heart Demons to emerge.

The stronger the Heart Demon, the more it would hinder later stage cultivation, causing an inability to advance.

Chu Yan didn’t quite understand what a Heart Demon was, but figured as long as he didn’t go around killing people, it was fine.

After he began cultivation, Chu Yan’s mentality gradually became more peaceful. He no longer harbored hatred and thought about revenge all day as he had done before.

After all, with his cultivation, all mortals appeared as insignificant as ants to him.

He felt that his current life finally had a personal touch.

Cooking daily for Qin Zhao and spending time with her was the happiest thing for him.

Chu Yan had just finished cleaning up when Tengshe, the little milk baby, suddenly ran out, eagerly clinging to the table.

"Why isn’t there any left?" He had clamored to come out because he wanted to eat the meal Chu Yan made.

"It’s all gone."

Chu Yan gave him a sideways glance.

"Make some more for me!"

"No time." Chu Yan tossed the rag in his hands onto Tengshe’s head.

Then, he heartlessly walked away to retrieve the traditional Chinese wedding garments from the bedroom, continuing to let Qin Zhao pick out a style for the upcoming wedding.

"Qin Zhao! He won’t give me any food!"

"You won’t starve; stop shouting."

Qin Zhao glanced back at him, worried his loud voice would disturb the neighbors.

The little milk baby pouted, wanting to cry but not daring to, feeling unjustly treated.

He was such a powerful Snake Lord, yet they didn’t take him seriously! And they wouldn’t even feed him!

Qin Zhao selected a traditional Chinese wedding garment she liked and confirmed the wedding date with Chu Yan.

The next day, they told Qin Wan of the wedding date.

She was delighted and invited the couple to dinner at her place, promising to cook them something delicious.

As evening approached and it was almost time for dinner, Qin Zhao took Chu Yan to her place.

Upon reaching the doorstep, the aroma of the food wafted out.

Tengshe started fussing, not wanting to miss out on dinner this time.

"Eh? Whose little toddler is this?"

Qin Wan came out to open the door and was surprised to see Tengshe.

"We adopted him."

Qin Zhao simply explained.

"Grandma!"

Tengshe hugged Qin Wan’s leg, sweetly calling her, melting Qin Wan’s heart.

"Ah! Grandma made delicious food, baby, you’ll get to eat soon!"

Qin Wan asked them to sit for a while before returning to the kitchen to cook.

Chu Yan followed to help, but she shooed him out.

Tengshe insisted on staying in the kitchen, watching her cook, "It smells so good, Grandma, what are you cooking? Can I have a taste first?"

He looked so adorable with his cherubic face and big, dark eyes, almost like grapes. His eager expression was particularly endearing, so Qin Wan dished out some food into a small bowl for him.

"Goodness, Grandma, you’re truly amazing!"

Qin Zhao, sitting in the living room, rolled her eyes at this. Where did this little guy learn to sweet-talk?

Qin Wan chuckled and chatted with the little milk baby, "Baby, who do you like more, Mommy and Daddy or Grandma?"

"Grandma! I love Grandma the most!"

"Then who does Mommy love the most?"

"Mommy loves Daddy the most."

Seeing that she was treating him like a little kid, Tengshe pursed his lips. Were it not for a bite of food, he, the great Snake Lord, certainly wouldn’t pretend to be an ignorant little kid!

"Who does Daddy love the most?"

Tengshe’s eyes twinkled, "Daddy loves Auntie the most."

Qin Wan: "!!!"

What? Chu Yan loves someone else?

Chu Yan: "???"

Is this little chubby snake asking for a spanking?
