At Night.
Ye Shi tossed and turned on the bed, and giggled from time to time.
Chen Da asked helplessly: “Shi Tou, what’s so funny?”
Ye Shi held his chin and said with smiling eyes: “Uncle Chen, do you know? Mu Chen is still a virgin. He’s still a virgin!”
In fact, Ye Shi had always been bothered by the scandals about Mu Chen in the past. He was happy that Mu Chen never had sex with anyone.
Chen Da said in surprise: “No way. I heard that Mr. Mu Chen…” He likes to visit brothels!
“Uncle Mu Yuanfeng told me so. He can’t lie to me.” Ye Shi smiled proudly.
Chen Da looked at Ye Shi and said: “Young Master Mu Chen treats you well. You should stop being mean to him.”
Ye Shi blinked and scratched his head: “Mu Chen said that he likes me the way I am.”
Chen Da advised: “It’s true that he likes you the way you are. But don’t take advantage of it.”
Ye Shi also felt safe. Mu Chen was too good to him. If Mu Chen had never cared for him so much, Ye Shi would not have felt the difference if Mu Chen was not good to him. But because he received so much attention from Mu Chen, Ye Shi would be heartbroken if he lost Mu Chen. “I…”
Chen Da looked at Ye Shi and said: “It’s late at night. Go to sleep.”
Ye Shi nodded and said: “Okay. Uncle Chen, Uncle Mu Yuanfeng said that I can get 300 spirit stones every month as pocket money. Uncle Mu is very good to me.”
“Mu Yuanfeng is kind to you because you are Mu Chen’s fiancée. After your strength increases, you can help Mu Chen in the future. You have also seen that Mu’s family does not live peacefully.” Chen Da reminded.
Ye Shi nodded and said: “I understand.” No matter how good Mu Chen was to him, now he was living in Mu’s house. In order to settle down in the Mu family, he had to do something that proved that he deserved it.
…
“Morning! I made a cake for you. Uncle Chen said that the day Ren San gave you the cake, you suddenly felt bad and shared the cake with others. After that, you regretted it and kept biting your blanket.” Mu Chen said to Ye Shi.
Ye Shi blushed and said angrily: “Uncle Chen is talking nonsense. I didn’t bite the blanket. That is what children do.”
Mu Chen shrugged and said: “Okay, you didn’t bite the blanket. Why are you suddenly in a bad mood?”
“It’s because…” Ye Shi said: “It’s because Zhuang Yu said that you were ugly, disgusting, and weak, but you never stopped pursuing him. I felt angry because of his accusations. So, I’m in a bad mood.”
Mu Chen: “…” Shi Tou could actually be lying. In the original story, Zhuang Yu was supposed to be a man with integrity on the surface. Even if Zhuang Yu thought about it deep down, it was impossible for him to say it out loud.
But it was no surprise that Ye Shi would say this. In the original story, Ye Shi was not supposed to be a good person, but a ruthless cannon fodder who did everything to achieve his goals.
“Zhuang Yu is a very bad person!” Mu Chen nodded and agreed with Ye Shi.
Ye Shi nodded solemnly, looked at Mu Chen and said: “Yes. So, you should stay away from him, as far as possible.”
Mu Chen looked at Ye Shi and said: “As long as you stay far away from Lan Ruofeng, I will never talk to Zhuang Yu.”
Ye Shi’s eyes lit up. He nodded, and said: “Promise?”
Mu Chen nodded and said: “Promise.”
“What is this?” Ye Shi asked while looking at the red envelope in Mu Chen’s hand.
“An invitation from the Jiyue Auction. Do you want to go?” Mu Chen asked.
Ye Shi frowned and said: “I can’t even buy anything even if I go there. How much of your father’s elixir will be auctioned off?”
Mu Chen shrugged and said: “Who knows?” It must be higher than the 350,000 spirit stones Lan Ruofeng offered. How dare Lan Ruofeng offer 350,000 spirit stones.
…
“Brother Chen, you are here! You’re not busy at all.” Mu Hong walked over with a smile and looked at Mu Chen.
Mu Chen shrugged and said: “I’m busier than you. I have to study alchemy with my father for a while, and I have to practice skills in the afternoon. Shi Tou, you can practice skills in my practice room. I’ve already told the guards that you and I will share my practice room in the future.”
Ye Shi nodded and said: “Okay.”
“Brother Chen, you are working very hard now.” Mu Hong said.
Mu Hong originally thought that Mu Chen had been in this mess all his life and couldn’t get back on track again. But to her surprise, Mu Chen suddenly changed and his progress soared.
“I have to do it because I have a wife now.” Mu Chen said proudly.
Ye Shi leaned into Mu Chen’s ear and said: “You can only truly have a wife if you become a martial arts master.”
Mu Chen glared at Ye Shi. Ye Shi was so irksome. He thought that Ye Shi would listen to him.
Ye Shi looked at Mu Chen’s angry face, looked down, but felt good.
“Brother Chen, is this your fiance Ye Shi?” Mu Hong said.
Mu Chen nodded and said: “Yes!”
“Shi Tou, this is my cousin, Mu Hong, my uncle’s son.” Mu Chen said to Ye Shi.
“Hello cousin.” Ye Shi nodded lightly at Mu Hong.
Mu Hong took a closer look at Ye Shi who was surprised by Mu Chen’s strange taste. If he had such a fiancée, he would probably gouge out his eyes.
Feeling the disgust in Mu Hong’s eyes, Ye Shi’s heart sank.
Mu Chen looked at Ye Shi’s sad face, frowned, and said: “Excuse me. We still have other things to do later.”
Mu Hong frowned and said: “Since you don’t like seeing me around, I’ll go myself.”
Mu Chen didn’t want to spend a minute with Mu Hong. He said directly: “Please.”
Ye Shi asked in disappointment: “Why are you so nice to me? I’m ugly.”
“What are you thinking? You are the cutest. You’re not ugly at all.” Mu Chen pinched Ye Shi’s cheek and said.
Ye Shi grabbed Mu Chen’s hand and said seriously: “If you lie, I will kill you.”
Mu Chen froze for a moment, then smiled, and said: “I mean what I said…” It was very difficult to make someone love him. In the modern world, he couldn’t find someone he loved. Finally, in this world, he was lucky enough to find someone who became his fiancé. Everything was going as he expected. But his finances were getting worse.
…
Anyway, the auction went on as scheduled.
The spirit-breaking elixir attracted even more attention than the last item from the last auction.
Lan Ruofeng still attended this auction just in case.
The starting price for the Spirit-breaking Elixir was 400,000 spirit stones which was 50,000 more than the 350,000 spirit stones offered by Lan Ruofeng. The crowd was quiet at first, but soon someone bid 410,000. Lan Ruofeng offered 450,000, but soon someone else offered higher.
Zhuang Yu sat next to Lan Ruofeng and felt very excited. One elixir was worth so many spirit stones. He was too shallow in the past.
Mu Yuanhang participated in the bidding. However, after he offered 800,000, he no longer continued. Mu Chen guessed that 800,000 was probably the best Mu Yuanhang could offer.
The price quickly rose to 1 million. Then, it quickly rose to 1.5 million.
Mu Chen squinted. The real Mu Chen had actually sold an extremely valuable elixir for 20,000 spirit stones. He was so stupid. No wonder Mu Yuanfeng was angry with the real Mu Chen.
It was the middle-aged man who had finally won the Spirit-breaking Elixir. He was an awesome weaponsmith.
Ye Shi murmured in shock: “Awesome. Now I understand why they say that alchemists are rich. I want to be an alchemist too.”
Mu Chen looked at Ye Shi and said: “Do you want to learn? If you want to learn, I can teach you!”
Ye Shi looked at Mu Chen suspiciously, and said: “If you teach me, I won’t learn it. It’s a waste of bedrock.”
Mu Chen: “…” Ye Shi really looked down on him.
Lan Ruofeng clenched his fists so tightly and his face was pale. This damn bastard didn’t give him any privileges.
The Spirit-breaking Elixir was finally sold for 2.28 million spirit stones.
Ye Shi tightly hugged Mu Chen’s arm: “That’s a lot of spirit stones! So many!”
Mu Chen nodded and said: “Yes! That’s a lot!”
Ye Shi looked at Mu Chen, and said seriously: “Mu Chen, you must learn alchemy hard from your father. Even if you can master a little bit, you don’t have to worry about your life.”
Mu Chen smiled flatly and said: “I will try my best.”
T/N: Can’t wait for Ye Shi’s reaction when he finds out his fiancé is actually a genius and not an idiot lol. comment down below what you thought of this chapter!
💖💖💖💖
Ai so cute. I love this dog food, reminds me of my first love (⁄ ⁄>⁄ ▽ ⁄<⁄ ⁄)
#yeshihavefaithinhubby
Privileges, Lan Ruofeng? You want to by a precious elixir for one-sixth of its price? Based on what, your pretty face?
Thank you for the chapter.
Love their teasing relationship!
Is it just me that finds it weird that their mental age difference is NEVER mentioned? If I got transmigrated into a 13yo I still wouldn’t fall in love with anyone that age😬
Hmmm I get what you’re saying but since this takes place in “ancient times/another universe” back then they were much more mature than we are today. Puberty would mark you becoming an adult and they would get married in their early teens. Also I think cuz he has all the previous Mu Chen’s memories he feels 14/15 too? Idk also what they have going on right now is just puppy love uk nothing serious
That is true and that’s why it’s not giving me a big ick, I would have just liked the author to spell it out for us so that there is no room for doubt:)
Thank you for picking this novel up btw!<3
I feel Ye Shi doesn’t deserve Mu Chen. He is absolutely short changing him 😑
