Chapter 361: Chapter 359: My Wife Bit It

"Boss, our treatment in the underworld is much better than in the mortal world, so don’t think of us as being too exploitative, okay? And ghosts can work overtime all night without getting tired.

The Netherworld Emperor even set up a merit reward system; some programmers achieved ascension by writing code to become immortals, and some ascended by using technology to change the underworld, entering into immortality through technology."

Suddenly, Qin Zhao recalled, "Wasn’t the person who invented this a foreigner?"

"Don’t worry, there are a bunch of English teachers waiting to be reincarnated below."

"???"

"Finally found her. She ran away from King Pingdeng’s Avici Hell.

King Pingdeng was crippled a few years ago by someone and is still recuperating in seclusion. It’s understandable that his subordinates made a mistake; I’ll let the leaders and the Netherworld Emperor know."

As for who had crippled him, the Netherworld Envoy couldn’t help but glance around.

He didn’t see that man who looked very much like Prince Chu Jiang from last time and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Prince Chu Jiang was originally a divine monarch from the Immortal Court before he parachuted into the underworld to take a post, causing all the kings from Yama Palace to be discontent, always causing trouble for him, wanting to drive him out of the underworld.

In the end, Prince Chu Jiang threw all the other kings into the Eighteen Layers of Hell; none were his match.

It finally disturbed the Netherworld Emperor enough that he personally intervened to fish them out of hell.

Among these kings, King Pingdeng suffered the worst.

Because he was quite flirtatious and always mocked Prince Chu Jiang’s past love affairs. He even said that it was a man’s disgrace for him to give up his divine throne for a woman and serve in the underworld.

The Netherworld Envoy hesitated for a while, but couldn’t help asking Qin Zhao, "Your Excellency, who is that man who is always with you?"

"My husband."

"Is your husband also a cultivator?"

"No, he is just an ordinary mortal."

The Netherworld Envoy muttered, thinking he must have remembered Prince Chu Jiang’s appearance incorrectly.

Qin Zhao also returned the ashes to Jia Gang, asking him to rebury his daughter. After the Netherworld Envoy took the evil ghost back, he also took Mengqiao’s soul away.

When he returned to the guesthouse, it was nearly noon.

The other members of the film crew had already come back and started today’s shooting.

The gentlemen who lost yesterday along with Guan Xinzhi needed to help the villagers dig radishes. They had to bring back a basket of radishes by noon before they could have their lunch.

In front of the guesthouse’s small courtyard was a large expanse of terraced fields.

Qin Zhao saw a crowd there, some digging radishes, some filming; Su Xiaotong and Pei Kejun occasionally helped their boyfriends/husbands.

Guan Xinzhi had it rough; she was digging radishes while her husband lay in the guesthouse yard sunbathing.

Earlier on, to have Qin Zhao treat Guan Xinzhi, Qi Haoyang had spent over five million from his savings and had been unhappy about it, so he didn’t give in during games either.

Now as Guan Xinzhi was digging radishes, he had no intention of helping at all.

Qin Zhao stood at the entrance of the small courtyard, seeing the lazily sunbathing Qi Haoyang and thought, if that were her husband, she’d rather just grab a shovel and bury him.

Chu Yan and Qin Yu were digging radishes in the same plot, with Su Xiaotong occasionally passing water to Qin Yu and helping him place the radishes in a bamboo basket not too far away.

"Did you and Zhaozhao have a fight?"

Qin Yu curiously asked him, just as he saw Qin Zhao standing in the courtyard entrance watching the show,

Chu Yan nodded, a slight frown on his brow.

"She hasn’t talked to me all day."

Earlier on the way down the mountain, even a helicopter followed her, but she disappeared after a while.

"I’ll tell you a trick."

Qin Yu boastfully said, "Whenever Su Xiaotong ignores me, I use this trick."

"What trick?"

"You tighten all the lids of things she uses, like her makeup or bottled water, make sure she can’t open them; she’ll definitely come to you for help."

"But Qin Zhao is pretty strong."

"She’s a girl, how strong can she be? Just do it, it’s also giving her a chance to step down and talk to you."

Qin Yu wore a look that said you’d be wrong not to listen to him.

"Got it."

Chu Yan picked up a basket filled with carrots and handed it over to the staff.

Since he wasn’t distracted by a partner, he was the first one to finish the task.

He saw Qin Zhao enter the guest house, so he tightened the cap on her bottled water outside. He even went to the tool shed to find some glue and sealed the cap with it.

Finally, he casually placed the bottled water back in its original spot.

Qin Zhao never came out, so after thinking for a while, Chu Yan took the bottled water and went in to find her.

"Zhaozhao, do you want some water?"

Qin Zhao ignored him and continued to play with her phone on the couch.

"Zhaozhao."

"Zhaozhao."

Qin Zhao felt something was off. Why was he so insistent on her drinking water?

So, she took the bottled water, tried to twist it open gently, and discovered she couldn’t.

She turned to look at Chu Yan, just to find him staring at her expectantly.

Oh, he did this on purpose, didn’t he?

How childish.

Qin Zhao snorted, then used a bit of her spiritual power and easily opened it.

Seeing her open it with such ease, although it was expected, Chu Yan still felt a bit disappointed. He grabbed another bottle, "I can’t open this, can you help me?"

Qin Zhao slowly took a sip of water. "You can’t even open a bottle of water? The cameras are recording, do you really want all the viewers across the country to think you’re weak?"

Chu Yan’s expression darkened immediately.

"Don’t you know very well whether I’m weak or not?"

"But you couldn’t even open the bottled water."

Qin Zhao had a look that said, ’you weakling, stop making excuses.’

Just after she spoke, Chu Yan opened the cap himself, took a leisurely sip, and his cold phoenix eyes stared at Qin Zhao, a hint of danger flickering through them.

"See, isn’t it open now?"

Chu Yan gave a wry smile and said nothing.

Qin Zhao continued to play with her phone, ignoring him again. Chu Yan did not bother her further and went outside for a walk, then came back with the others.

After lunch, everyone sat in the living room chatting.

"Does anyone know how to play mahjong? We could ask the crew to get us a mahjong table to play."

Pei Kejun suggested, mainly addressing the girls.

"I don’t play, you go ahead."

"Zhaozhao, why won’t you play? We have exactly four people."

"I’m afraid you’d lose too badly."

Qin Zhao possessed divine sense, and she felt playing mahjong would be like cheating.

"How could that be? We’re not betting money, just playing for fun."

Pei Kejun then went to get the director to arrange a mahjong table.

Qin Yu and Tan Mingri talked while walking in the yard, Chu Yan whereabouts unknown. Once the crew brought the mahjong table, Chu Yan came downstairs.

He joined them in the room where they were playing mahjong and pulled a chair next to Qin Zhao.

Pei Kejun glanced at him and suddenly exclaimed softly.

"Chu Yan, what’s that on your neck?"

He had been wearing a jacket all morning, so no one saw the bite mark on his collarbone.

Now, Chu Yan had taken off his jacket, wearing only a casual T-shirt, revealing his fair, delicate collarbone and a fresh red bite mark.

Chu Yan nonchalantly said, "My wife bit me."

"!!!" Qin Zhao turned her head sharply towards him, just catching sight of the bite mark on his collarbone. Her expression changed instantly, and she hurriedly pulled him up and dragged him away.

"Pause for a moment! He and I need to talk!"
