1 Whose Wife is Lonely?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

[Warning, detected that the host is in extreme danger. The Heavenly Dao System is about to be untied—Unbound progress 1%… 0%… Unable to be untied…]

[Heavenly Dao Points+300,000.]

[Warning, please escape quickly!]

[Heavenly Dao Points+600,000.]

[Warning! The system is activating the self-destruct program…]

[Heavenly Dao Points+9000000000]

[Self-destruct sequence activation failed.]

[Warning…]

"Stop warning! Shut up!"

At this moment, Xu Chang'an could still feel the blood-red word "Danger" on his head.

He woke up in the mental world and gritted his teeth. "You're the most useless system I've ever seen!"

It was rare for him to return home and be intimate with his wife. He wanted to have a good sleep and not to be disturbed.

Other people's systems that came with transmigration were all beyond common sense. After he transmigrated, the system he used was pure trash and did not seem to do much apart from shouting warnings every day.

Xu Chang'an had transmigrated for seven to eight years. It was only in the last year that the system awakened and told him that as long as he was in danger, he could continuously obtain Heavenly Dao points and use them to become stronger.

He thought that he could finally make a name for himself in the immortal sect, give his wife a good life, and a grand wedding.

But in the end, when he fought with others in the sect, he could only obtain one or two Heavenly Dao points.

However, every time he went home to rest, this Heavenly Dao Point would seem to have short-circuited. After a night, there would be dozens of zeros.

The points could not be used up, but… the mall was empty!

He had countless Heavenly Dao points, but he had never spent a single one.

"…"

As the system notification sounded, Xu Chang'an took a deep breath and gradually calmed down.

Xu Chang'an felt that this system shouldn't only give him points when he was in danger. Instead… he should only get points when he was happy, and the happier he was, the more points he would get.

Otherwise, why would this lousy system scream endlessly every time he went home to see his wife?

Xu Chang'an had 120% trust in his wife, who had saved his life. He knew that his wife had many secrets, but he had never thought that his wife would bring any danger to him.

Even a fool knew what to choose between the inexplicable system and the other half of his life.

Life was not easy. Xu Chang'an sighed softly.

"If only… this system could be uninstalled." Xu Chang'an's eyes flashed with gloom.

In a world where cultivation was possible, why was there an unknown "system" in his head?

It was really better not to have it. That would be more reassuring.

However, even if the system was useless, he was still working hard. Now that he was an outer sect disciple, he had already become an internal affairs deacon of the Chaoyun Sect's outer sect. The next step was to become an inner sect disciple of the sect.

Therefore, when he left the mountain this time, he accepted the demon eradication mission given to him by his fellow disciples for an Origin Pill.

"I wonder if that tiger demon is easy to deal with. After all, it's worth an Open Source Pill…"

After being disturbed by the system, he could not fall asleep. After meditating for a while, he slowly opened his eyes.

The morning sun shone through the window. Xu Chang'an lay on a soft bed, and a faint fragrance lingered at the tip of his nose.

At this moment, a soft voice made him feel cold.

"You're pressing on my hair."

Beside him, a woman in her twenties with long hair scattered around was propping herself up and looking at him. However, the woman frowned slightly, as if she was in pain.

Xu Chang'an looked at her and blinked.

The coldness in the woman's eyes made Xu Changan's back turn cold. He subconsciously raised his arm. Only then did the other party pull the long black hair out from under Xu Changan's body and continue to stare at him.

"Morning…"

Xu Changan got out of bed and put on his clothes. He turned around and looked at the calm girl. He asked casually, "Are you hungry?"

"A little." The woman nodded.

After so many years, Xu Chang'an was used to his wife's coldness. He smiled and stood up. "I'll go prepare now."

When Xu Chang'an walked out of the room and washed up, he looked at the handsome youth in the mirror and took a deep breath.

How strange.

In this life, he actually had a wife—although they have not been married officially.

Xu Chang'an also felt that the two of them had been relying on each other for so long, so there was no lack of etiquette… Of course, it was because his current situation did not allow him to prepare for a grand wedding.

Xu Chang'an sighed and came to the courtyard. He skillfully started a fire, fetched water, washed the vegetables, and prepared a simple breakfast for his wife.

He walked into the kitchen and picked up the kitchen knife, quickly cutting the supplementary ingredients. His movements were smooth and natural. He was already familiar with housework.

… .

Outside the door, Yun Qian put on simple clothes and walked to the kitchen door in red embroidered shoes. When she saw the morning sun shining through the window on the young man who was trying his best to prepare breakfast, she stopped and looked at him in a daze.

The water needed some time to boil, so Xu Chang'an took the opportunity to wipe the dishes. He turned around and saw his wife staring at him at the door. Her simple clothes could not hide her exquisite figure.

Xu Changan took a few more glances, then adjusted his apron and asked curiously, "Miss, what are you looking at?"

"After leaving the island, you won't be my butler anymore," Yun Qian said, crossing her arms.

Her voice was very steady. It was not as delicate and sharp as a young girl's, but it was very reassuring.

"Haven't I always been called her butler?" Xu Changan blinked and thought to himself, 'She's usually fine. What's wrong with her today?'

Should I… call her my wife?

Suddenly, he felt a little guilty and said, "Change your position. There's a lot of smoke here."

Yun Qian looked at the kitchen knife beside her and then at her fair and slender hand. She snorted and turned to leave.

Xu Chang'an didn't pay much attention to it. He had never been able to understand his wife's thoughts.

… .

At the dining table, two simple bowls of noodles were steaming. They were the most ordinary noodles with only meat slices, vegetables, and white lotus roots as decorations.

Xu Chang'an felt that this dish was good because she could eat her fill. Most importantly, she liked to eat the noodles she made.

Beside Xu Chang'an, the woman had already dressed up. Her long black hair was tied into a low ponytail. She picked up her chopsticks and tucked her hair behind her ear.

This feminine posture made Xu Chang'an blush slightly, and he immediately lowered his head to eat the noodles.

Yun Qian lowered her head and took a sip of the soup. Her cold face softened a little. She looked up at the young man in front of her and said, "Eat slowly."

"Got it." Xu Chang'an coughed lightly. He sat up straight and hesitated.

"What do you have to say to me?" Yun Qian put down her chopsticks and looked at Xu Chang'an.

Xu Chang'an's expression froze. She smiled awkwardly and took a sip of tea. "Indeed, I can't hide anything from you. Miss… when did you realize?"

"You were distracted last night." Yun Qian looked into Xu Chang'an's eyes. "Did you have a woman outside?"

"Pfft." Xu Chang'an spat out a mouthful of tea. He said anxiously, "I'm devoted to Miss. If I have my heart in two places, both heaven and earth…"

"Perhaps," Yun Qian interrupted him and said calmly, "What is it?"

"This." Xu Chang'an stood up, took out a stack of banknotes, and handed it to his wife. "This… should be enough for Miss to use in the city for the next three months."

After saying that, Xu Chang'an took a deep breath and looked at the woman in front of him nervously.

"I understand. It's three months this time." Yun Qian took the banknote and continued to eat her noodles quietly.

Although his wife was very calm, Xu Chang'an didn't heave a sigh of relief. He also knew that he shouldn't be like this… After all, which husband leaves for stretch of three to five months in row and departs after just one night together?

The north wind blew, and the autumn wind was cold. Whose wife would be lonely?

It was his wife.
