Chapter 24 Little Qing
Lin Xuan stared at the map, which led Bai Suzhen, who was standing next to him, to misunderstand.
Although she was a thousand-year-old snake demon with powerful magic, she still couldn't see through the system and thought Lin Xuan was just spacing out.
Bai Suzhen asked worriedly, "Husband, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with this medicine?"
Lin Xuan smiled slightly.
"The herbal medicine is very good, but I feel a bit weak after taking it and want to sleep for a while."
Bai Suzhen nodded in realization, supported Lin Xuan's back, helped him lie back down, and then carefully tucked the blanket in.
After confirming that Lin Xuan was asleep, she quietly slipped out.
As soon as she stepped outside, she heard Xiaoqing's voice.
"Sister, you've really forgotten your sister now that you have a husband."
Bai Suzhen was not angry, but simply gave instructions:
"Xiaoqing, keep your voice down. Your husband has just fallen asleep. Don't wake him up."
Xiaoqing was speechless for a moment, thinking to herself that what she had just said was a waste of time.
She dared not act recklessly in front of Bai Suzhen, so she retreated to a distance and made sure that Lin Xuan could not hear the commotion before speaking again.
"Sister, we came to Hangzhou this time for two reasons: first, to find your benefactor, and second, to seize the opportunity at Jinshan Temple."
"Now that we've found your benefactor, shouldn't we take action against Jinshan Temple?"
Bai Suzhen was slightly embarrassed, realizing she had almost forgotten the important matter and made Xiaoqing unhappy.
Actually, Lin Xuan was to blame. If he hadn't called Xiaoqing "little sister" when he transformed into his true form, and Bai Suzhen hadn't ignored it, Xiaoqing would have been unhappy and caused trouble for Bai Suzhen.
Otherwise, Xiaoqing wouldn't have bothered Bai Suzhen, but would have let her elope with her lover.
Monsters have long lifespans and their concept of time is completely different from that of humans.
Even if it's delayed for a few years, it doesn't matter, since Jinshan Temple is there and can't be moved anyway.
Bai Suzhen said with shame, "Sister, you are right to remind us. We should indeed take action against Jinshan Temple, but Jinshan Temple is quite powerful after all."
"If we rashly go to their door, we may not necessarily gain anything. We should consider this matter more carefully."
Xiaoqing nodded and said, "Sister, it's good that you know. No matter what, we are all demons, and every five hundred years we will suffer a calamity that will last until death."
"Only by absorbing the dragon's energy can we escape this circle."
Xiaoqing was quite moved, completely unlike her usual carefree self.
In the following days, Bai Suzhen saw that Lin Xuan's health was not seriously affected, so she felt much more at ease and began to find excuses to go out and secretly observe Jinshan Temple.
Lin Xuan was happy to relax and began to deal with the restaurants.
He opened the restaurant only to lure Fahai out; now that his goal has been achieved, there's no need for him to cause any more trouble.
However, in other people's eyes, Lin Xuan was just a spendthrift. Although many of his restaurants were not doing well, they were not completely unable to continue operating.
With a little effort, he can still be saved.
Therefore, many people gossiped about Lin Xuan behind his back.
But Lin Xuan paid no attention to this, as he was preoccupied with something else.
His current level is still too low, and his travel speed is not fast enough.
Even if you travel at full speed, it will take at least ten days to get to the Immortal Herb Garden in Kunlun Mountain.
If Lin Xuan is only away for a day or two, that's easy to handle; we can just find any excuse.
But after being gone for so long, Bai Suzhen deserves an explanation.
Otherwise, if Bai Suzhen insists on going with him, how will he get to the Immortal Herb Garden?
"What a hassle!" Lin Xuan shook his head slightly, feeling somewhat sentimental.
The little demon who had come with Lin Xuan to deal with the restaurant saw this and thought Lin Xuan was angry, so she cautiously said:
"Don't take what those people say to heart. What are a few restaurants compared to that?"
This little demon was none other than the carp spirit. He was very shrewd, and Lin Xuan was willing to take him out on business.
The carp spirit didn't say this entirely to comfort Lin Xuan; he genuinely meant it.
He knew very well that Lin Xuan's wife was Bai Suzhen, a powerful snake demon.
Don't say that Lin Xuan is just a spendthrift who has ruined a few restaurants. Even if he ruined dozens or hundreds of restaurants, it's nothing.
Distracted by him, Lin Xuan had an idea and deliberately sighed.
"Well, that's what I say, but I can't help feeling unhappy."
"In a few days, when the weather warms up, why not take the opportunity to go out and have some fun? Not only can it help you relax, but you might even run into that dragon from a few days ago."
The carp spirit listened from the side, nodding on the surface but secretly laughing to itself.
Dragons are not so easy to see.
Besides, he had already heard that what appeared last time was not some strange monster, but a dragon, and it had some conflict with his boss.
The boss often curses something about a little black snake.
But that's strange. Why would the boss call a perfectly normal dragon a black snake?
Could it be that the eldest sister's transformation technique is not up to par and she has a problem with her eyes?
The carp spirit was lost in her own thoughts and forgot to try to persuade Lin Xuan.
It wasn't until they finished dealing with the restaurant matters and returned to the Lin residence that the carp spirit went to pay his respects to Xiaoqing, and he finally woke up.
Xiaoqing asked, "What did you and your brother-in-law do today?"
The carp spirit shivered, and without daring to be negligent, recounted everything that had happened during the day, concluding with:
"It seems that Young Master Lin wants to go out for a relaxing trip."
Xiaoqing raised an eyebrow, somewhat displeased.
She had finally managed to persuade her sister to find a way to deal with Jinshan Temple. If Lin Xuan had said those words, her sister would have agreed immediately.
This month we go sightseeing, next month we go on a spring outing, and who knows what will happen the month after that.
If this continues, when will there be time to take action against Jinshan Temple?
Xiaoqing slammed her hand on the table, startling the little demon.
"Boss, what's wrong? Did... I say something wrong?"
"It's none of your business," Xiaoqing said, turning around and walking outside to find Lin Xuan.
"Brother-in-law, I heard you're going out for a walk to clear your head?"
Before Lin Xuan could say anything, Bai Suzhen beside him became unhappy.
"Xiaoqing, how can you speak to your husband like that?"
Lin Xuan hurriedly reached out his hand.
"My lady, please don't be angry. Little Qing must have had something to do. That's why she was so impolite in her haste."
"Why don't we listen to what Little Qing has to say first?"
Originally, Xiaoqing was already very dissatisfied that Bai Suzhen had scolded her for Lin Xuan's sake.
Now, when he hears Lin Xuan calling him "Little Qing Sister" repeatedly, he immediately recalls how he was called "sister" when he was caught by that black snake not long ago.
"I knew it! Neither of these Lin Xuans are good people!" Xiao Qing thought angrily, her face shrinking back.
It took her a while to calm down before she spoke:
"Lin Xuan, I heard you want to go sightseeing outside the city?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Suzhen frowned again, thinking to herself that her younger sister was becoming more and more outrageous. How could she call Lin Xuan by his name?
Just as she was about to speak, she heard Lin Xuan say:
"Little Qing, how did you know? Oh, right, it must have been Old Li who told you."
"You're right, I do want to get out of the city to clear my head. It just so happens that I've never left the city since my wife and I got married."
"We can go on this trip together as a honeymoon."
