The Rebirth of the Cultivation Leader Qin Zhao as a Celebrity
Chapter 287 - 285: Can you call me husband from now on?

Chapter 287: Chapter 285: Can you call me husband from now on?

"Are you all from outside?"

The young man, speaking in somewhat nonstandard Mandarin, asked intently, his gaze burning into Qin Zhao.

Qin Zhao nodded, sizing her up before asking, "Can you tell me about the outside world? I’ve never been out there, only seen it on television."

The only television in the entire village was at the Clan Leader’s house. It was a gift from a villager who had gone out to do business and later returned to the village.

It had been a long time since anyone had left the village, so there weren’t many foreign things. But occasionally, members of the Bo People would go to town to buy things and see some new oddities.

"The outside world?"

Qin Zhao didn’t know how to describe it at first, "It’s just that there’s a lot of high-tech stuff, no need to sweep the floor or wash dishes by yourself, there are specialized robots and dishwashers.

Travel is quite convenient, and there’s... a lot of delicious food."

After some thought, she concluded that the biggest difference between the countryside and the city was the abundance of tasty food in the city.

After finishing, she told the young man, "You could go out and have a look."

"I can’t, the Bo People cannot leave their homeland."

The young man frowned, this being a precept passed down through generations.

"Why?"

"The ancestors said we mustn’t leave. If we’re gone too long or die outside, our souls will descend to hell to be eternally punished."

That’s why the villager who went out to do business returned to the village after not too long. There were few from the Bo People who went out to do business; the most they did was some small trades in town, but they did not move away from the village.

"Then don’t you attend school?"

The young man shook his head, "The Clan Leader teaches us knowledge, there’s no need for school."

At that moment, the young man’s mother approached.

The young man was named Bai Qi, his mother Bai Fen.

Everyone in the Bo People had the surname Bai, mostly intermarrying within the tribe, some finding brides from outside the area. However, it was forbidden for girls to marry out.

Bai Fen lamented, "Before, some sent their children to town for schooling; one even got into a good university, but sadly, not long after, he died in an accident.

The Bo People cannot go against the ancestors’ teachings; otherwise, they’ll die without a place for their remains and suffer in hell after death."

After speaking, she cast a warning glance at Bai Qi.

It appeared that Bai Fen knew Bai Qi was curious about the outside world but didn’t allow him to go.

Bai Qi said nothing, standing silently in front of Qin Zhao.

As Qin Zhao was about to check out the room, he stepped forward, extending an arm to stop her.

"Do you want to take a walk around here? I can show you."

In his eyes looking toward her, there was a hint of eagerness.

But before Qin Zhao could answer, a shadow fell over the two of them.

"She doesn’t want to."

A cold voice came through.

Bai Qi looked up and saw an exceptionally handsome man, looking down at him from above with cool, unfathomable Phoenix Eyes, filled with hostility toward him.

Chu Yan was one meter eighty-eight tall, half a head taller than Bai Qi. Standing together, Chu Yan’s aloof demeanor was almost overwhelmingly dominant.

He grabbed Qin Zhao’s hand and pulled her back to their room for the night, not wanting her to continue talking with Bai Qi. Bai Qi’s interested gaze at Qin Zhao repulsed Chu Yan.

Bai Qi stood still, watching their retreating figures, his gaze shifting from Qin Zhao to Chu Yan, his eyes filled with contemplation.

"I wanted him to show me around."

Once in the room, Qin Zhao suddenly said.

She had intended to take the opportunity to ask about the suspended coffins and Decline Cliff; the Bo People must be full of secrets.

And there was something about Bai Qi that gave Qin Zhao a strange feeling.

"Can’t I take you out for a walk? Why do you have to go with him?"

Qin Zhao gave him a sidelong glance, "What’s the use of going with you? You don’t know anything about the Bo People."

"Oh, have I somehow interfered with your plans to go out with him?"

"???"

What’s with the sudden sarcasm?

Qin Zhao didn’t understand and even felt that Chu Yan was acting weirdly, so she ignored him.

Shangguan Jing sent several photos from the geologists to the group chat, and Qin Zhao pulled out her phone to look at these places.

Chu Yan sat beside her sulking and eventually realized she hadn’t even noticed his mood. She was still chatting enthusiastically with Shangguan Jing and the others in the group.

He became unhappy, snatched Qin Zhao’s phone away, and cupped her face firmly in front of his eyes.

Narrow phoenix eyes slightly squinted, they appeared shadowy and carried a hint of danger.

"Qin Zhao, I’m angry."

The implication was you should coax me, not play with your phone!

"I know."

Qin Zhao removed his hand, but Chu Yan reached out again to pinch her face, grumbling, "Then why are you ignoring me?"

"Letting you cool off first."

"???"

Chu Yan’s expression stiffened for a moment before Qin Zhao leaned in and asked him, "Why are you angry?"

"..."

Of course, it was because he felt that Bai Qi had no good intentions towards Qin Zhao, and she was actually thinking of visiting the village with Bai Qi. Doesn’t she know she has a husband?

Her cool, pale face was close at hand, a hint of confusion in her eyes, her red lips slightly pursed.

Chu Yan looked at Qin Zhao’s face and suddenly couldn’t be bothered to explain, so he just leaned in for a kiss.

Qin Zhao instinctively dodged backwards, but he reached out to hold the back of her head. Beautiful peach blossom eyes became watery and even more enchanting.

Chu Yan’s eyes darkened, and he reached out to embrace her waist, dragging her into his arms to straddle his lap.

His hand around her waist tightened gradually.

He whispered in her ear, "Help me take off my clothes."

Qin Zhao’s face turned red, her slender, pale fingers tugging at his clothes.

She muttered quietly, "We haven’t had dinner yet."

"Eat after we’re done."

He kissed her again, desire swirling in his eyes, his voice low, "Qin Zhao, from now on, can you call me ’husband’? That way, everyone will know."

Know that she has a husband.

"..."

"Just try saying it once."

Chu Yan looked at her with a mix of hope and excitement.

He imagined it in his mind, his mouth curving uncontrollably upwards, his whole body going soft.

He wanted Qin Zhao to call him that all night!

Unfortunately, he was wishful thinking.

"I don’t want to."

Qin Zhao refused and stopped his wandering hands, straightening her clothes.

She furrowed her brows, suddenly feeling a strange sensation.

It wasn’t that calling Chu Yan ’husband’ felt odd; she hadn’t given it any thought at all. Wanting her to call Chu Yan that? Was he daydreaming?

She felt as though someone was spying on them.

Qin Zhao looked around the room, all doors and windows were closed, and no one was outside.

Such a backward place, there shouldn’t be any surveillance equipment.

But as a cultivator at the Golden Core Stage, her senses were exceptionally sharp; she couldn’t be mistaken about her feeling.

"Zhaozhao."

Chu Yan turned her face back to his, relentless, "Just say it." This time, he pinned her down on the bed, even threatening her, "Otherwise, you’re dead meat later."

"Stop messing around."

Qin Zhao felt somewhat helpless and whispered in his ear, "I think there’s something wrong with this room."
