From the Heavens Descended an Immortal Sister

Chapter 378: Chapter 369: Mu Huanqing's Decision_1

Fang Ren had barely been lying at home for a while when Mu Huanqing suddenly returned.

"Didn't you take Cai Cai back to school?" Fang Ren asked.

"I didn't go. Or you could say I never went," Mu Huanqing said.

"Why didn't you go?"

"Because I've been watching you the whole time."

"...What do you mean?"

"I had Zhu Yuan use a spell to let me watch everything happening on Wen Yang Star." Mu Huanqing said.

Fang Ren suddenly felt somewhat helpless. Just how powerful was this Zhu Yuan, being able to spy across the universe?

"Are you blaming me for not retrieving that body?" Fang Ren asked.

Mu Huanqing shook her head and sat down beside him, "Let's leave it with her. It wouldn't be right to give her nothing at all."

Fang Ren was surprised by her words. On the night they got married, Mu Huanqing had told him through tears that she was a person with a strong sense of possessiveness. She could not bear the thought of his affections being shared with another woman.

Mu Huanqing seemed to see through his thoughts and chuckled, "When I told you I was selfish when it comes to love, I meant it. But now I realize, I can't bear to push her to having nothing. Just like twenty years ago, even on the day of my wedding, I could have chosen to kill her, or not grant her those five minutes. But I still gave them to her, and later that made me cry from anger."

Fang Ren rubbed her hair, "I know you have a soft heart, and that day, you compromised yourself."

"It's okay, you made it up to me afterward, didn't you?"

"Are you referring to what happened that morning?"

Mu Huanqing pinched his flesh, "Can't you be serious for once!"

"I can't help it. Xiao Xi has been teaching me to drive these years and has led me astray."

"You have the nerve to say that, but wasn't it because you used to talk nonsense with her when you were young?"

"Speaking of Xiao Xi, has she returned to school?"

"Yeah, she's gone back. But why are you changing the subject?"

Fang Ren hugged her, "Come on, let's go for a drive."

"Hey! What if someone comes?"

"Impossible. I'll just set up an Isolation Formation," he said.

...

Still, one has to admire Mu Huanqing's power of jinxing. The very thing she worried about ended up happening.

Just when the two were enjoying a happy moment in their room, Zhu Yuan suddenly appeared.

The scene turned exceedingly awkward.

Fang Ren had calculated for all possibilities except Zhu Yuan. His Isolation Formation could have delayed even the strongest on Earth, Bai Qi, for five to six seconds, and Bai Qi would have used a transmission to ask for permission to enter upon seeing an Isolation Formation.

But Zhu Yuan wasn't from Earth. She could go wherever she wanted, and to her, Fang Ren's Isolation Formation was as good as paper.

"Couldn't you have knocked?" Fang Ren, his face wrapped in embarrassment, couldn't help but blush.

Mu Huanqing had already dived under the blankets, too ashamed to show her face. This was simply too humiliating!

Zhu Yuan, looking at Fang Ren on the bed with disdain, covered her eyes, "Who would have thought that in broad daylight..."

"What's wrong with broad daylight? Who says I can't be intimate with my wife during the day?"

Zhu Yuan didn't want to continue on the topic and got straight to the point, "Bai Qi just asked me for one of your bodies; I came to ask your opinion."

"What does she want my body for?"

"Didn't she tell you before going to Wen Yang Star that she wanted to learn from Liu Qianqian? She probably learned something."

"No, absolutely not!" Fang Ren said firmly.

One Liu Qianqian was already enough for him to worry about; he didn't want another one.

"She said if you don't agree, she's thinking about leaving Earth to wander," Zhu Yuan mentioned.

Fang Ren was dumbfounded. Why were these women so lascivious?

All they knew was to lust after his body?

"She must be joking, don't take it seriously. Can you leave for now? It's... quite uncomfortable," Fang Ren said with a troubled frown, "Also, next time you enter, remember to knock. If you do this a couple more times, I might have to switch bodies."

"Ha, Mortal."

Zhu Yuan left with a look of disdain, unable to understand Fang Ren's, a mortal's, fascination with such shameful nakedness.

She remembered breaking into the room several years ago and seeing Fang Ren and Mu Huanqing doing certain things. It was the first time she had seen such an act between a man and a woman with her own eyes, not her Divine Sense.

She was surprised at the time, somewhat unable to accept it, because her partner turned out to be such a vulgar creature.

After Zhu Yuan left, Mu Huanqing kicked Fang Ren out of the bed, dressed herself, and fumed, "I told you! What if someone comes! Yet you wouldn't believe me!"

"How was I to know it was her!"

"Hurry up and put on your clothes!"

"This is more of a loss for me, and besides, you should be mad at her, not me. A woman saw your man naked! It's outrageous!" Fang Ren said angrily while dressing.

Although his body had been seen by Zhu Yuan many times in the True Spirit Space, that was a special case.

After a long while, when Fang Ren had calmed down and Mu Huanqing had already started drinking tea in the living room.

"Do you want to go again?" Mu Huanqing asked.

"This... didn't you tell me to get dressed?" Fang Ren was taken aback.

Mu Huanqing was so angry she wanted to hit someone, "I'm asking if you want to go to Liu Qianqian's place again!"

Fang Ren then finally reacted, "Do you really want me to go that much?"

"You want to go too, don't you?"

"How come I want to go again?"

"You got into an argument with her, did you think I didn't see it?"

"What argument? I don't know what you're talking about."

"Forget it, stop pretending and just bring her back already. She's been alone for twenty years; I don't want to see her continue like this to a lonely old age," Mu Huanqing sighed.

"You mean…"

Mu Huanqing frowned, "Do I need to spell it out for you?"

She felt her words were already quite straightforward.

"No, it's just that it would be too unfair to you," Fang Ren said.

"It's not really a hardship. I've had you all to myself for twenty years and I'm quite content. If you're asking why I'd say such a thing, then I can only tell you that I feel too much sympathy for her, and I recognize her kindness towards you. I think she deserves happiness."

"…"

Fang Ren never expected Mu Huanqing to suddenly make such a decision.

"However, there's one thing you must do," Mu Huanqing walked over to him, her brows slightly furrowed.

"Tell me."

"That is to treat me as you always have."

"That's it?"

"That's it, now go on. I won't be taking care of you tonight anyway."

"But have you considered whether I'm willing to go?" Fang Ren asked.

Mu Huanqing looked puzzled, "You're not willing now?"

"My respectable image as a domestic man can't just be ruined."

"You're hopeless!"

…

After being kicked out by his own wife, Fang Ren had no choice but to look for Zhu Yuan.

He saw Zhu Yuan lying on an elderly recliner, playing with her cellphone.

When Zhu Yuan saw him coming to find her, thinking he was upset about their previous interruption, she put down her phone and took the initiative to speak, "If you're angry about that, then be angry. I certainly can't replace your wife and take care of that for you."

Bai Qi had recommended some study materials from Earth for her to read, and she remembered the materials saying that men find it very uncomfortable to be interrupted during that sort of thing. Enjoy new tales from M V L

Fang Ren was stunned. Zhu Yuan seemed to have gotten a bit abnormal these days. Why was she so blunt all of a sudden?

"Do you think that all I do is sleep with my wife and nothing else?" Fang Ren asked.

"That's about right," Zhu Yuan nodded.

"This…"

Before Fang Ren could finish speaking, Zhu Yuan interrupted him, "You should go find Bai Qi instead. She would be quite willing to take care of that for you."

"Madam, you're just joking around, and you actually took it seriously? Forget that, just take me to Wen Yang Star again," Fang Ren said.

"I can't take you there."

Zhu Yuan picked up her phone again, scrolling through the screen, and continued, "There's no Internet once we leave Earth."

Fang Ren was helpless. Who had recently gotten her hooked on the cellphone?

"However, since I've already located your physical body there, I could just transfer your soul over," Zhu Yuan added.

"That works too. Going over is still going over, no difference really."

Seeing that he had no objections, Zhu Yuan flicked a piece of talisman paper onto his forehead.

The next moment, Fang Ren felt the world spinning around and, after a few minutes, he opened his eyes to find himself sitting at a wooden table, awkwardly eating.

He could feel a piece of paper on his temple.

Looking at the simple dishes on the table, Fang Ren didn't see Liu Qianqian. He began to survey the room.

A wooden bed, a wooden wardrobe, a few pairs of shoes, two stools…

There were few belongings, and all were made of wood.

Besides, he could see tiny formations in some corners of the room, likely set up by Liu Qianqian to prevent strangers from entering when she was not at home.

After observing for a while, Fang Ren stood up, not tearing off the talisman paper on his forehead because he was afraid it would be too awkward when they met.

So, he stepped out of the house and saw a small courtyard with some flowers and plants and several calligraphic works.

In the north corner of the courtyard was a path leading to the store. As he walked down the path, he saw a slender, middle-aged woman sitting at the storefront, selling calligraphic works.

So, on this side, Liu Qianqian had always disguised herself as a woman using some kind of spell.

Fang Ren didn't go out any further. He felt he had to act the part convincingly and couldn't be recognized by Liu Qianqian too early; otherwise, there was a good chance she might start crying again.

This time his visit was different from the last.

Last time, he came because he was worried about her. But this time, he was on a mission and could be bolder.
