Netherworld Shadow Clone
Looking at Zhu Zhuqing's flushed, shy face,
Ye Qiu chuckled.
"Mmm~"
He gently bit Zhu Zhuqing's lips, indulging for a moment until the cat in his arms softened.
Only then did he raise his head.
"Since we're going to do it ourselves, we need to buy some groceries."
"Mmm~"
Zhu Zhuqing leaned against Ye Qiu, her chest rising and falling slightly.
"It's fine as long as my husband decides."
"Then let's go to Notting City. I'm more familiar with the market there."
As soon as Ye Qiu finished speaking, he and Zhu Zhuqing disappeared from the spot.
After experiencing farm life with Xue Ke several times,
Ye Qiu had a pretty good grasp of what was sold in the markets of Notting City.
Together with Zhu Zhuqing, who had a vegetable basket hanging from her arm
, they strolled hand in hand through the somewhat noisy market, listening to the shouts of vendors on both sides, and
began to choose their favorite ingredients.
Ye Qiu and Zhu Zhuqing's attire suggested they were from wealthy and noble families.
Even though Zhu Zhuqing looked alluring
, no one bothered them. However, some shameless women tried to rub against Ye Qiu.
Occasionally, they would grope him when he took vegetables from them. Zhu Zhuqing naturally noticed this and felt resentful.
She handled all the women's stalls, while Ye Qiu took care of the men's. ... In less than half an hour, wisps of smoke rose from the stove under the eaves of the stone house. They needed to allow some time for a midday rest. Therefore, Zhu Zhuqing used her fourth soul skill, Netherworld Shadow Clone, to take care of the fire, washing and chopping vegetables, washing dishes, and serving food. Ye Qiu stood in front of the large pot, constantly stirring and adding the right amount of oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar. Most of the time, cooking itself didn't take much time. The real time and effort were in the preparation and the cleanup after the meal. With the help of Zhu Zhuqing's clone, Ye Qiu barely had time to stop, and lunch was quickly prepared. Steamed sea bass, stir-fried green peppers, braised prawns, salt-baked eggs, and stir-fried bracken— a very substantial meal with a good mix of meat and vegetables. "Husband, shall we have a little wine?" Zhu Zhuqing asked , looking at Ye Qiu who had just untied his apron as she placed the food on the table. "Then let's have a little. I remember there are a few bottles I took from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School in the corner." Ye Qiu raised an eyebrow, not refusing. His alcohol tolerance had gradually improved, and he no longer passed out as quickly as before. Of course, compared to Ning Rongrong, his tolerance was still far from impressive. "Yes, I saw it." Zhu Zhuqing nodded slightly, quickly went to the corner of the stone house, and retrieved the bright red wine. She picked up a wine glass and poured the wine. "Husband, here you go." "Yes." Ye Qiu chuckled as he accepted the wine, lightly clinking glasses with Zhu Zhuqing, and they smiled at each other. Zhu Zhuqing's clones remained active , serving the two like servants. However, some clones couldn't resist trying to wipe the wine from Ye Qiu's lips with their thin lips. Zhu Zhuqing's main body, her face slightly flushed from drinking, watched this scene and felt a pang of jealousy. Seeing one of the clones suddenly try to crawl under the table towards Ye Qiu, her face flushed crimson. Her heart pounded, and she quickly dispelled the unruly clone.

She gave Ye Qiu a resentful look.
"Uh,"
Ye Qiu shrugged helplessly.
"Zhu Qing, it's not my fault, they did it themselves."
...
Time passed slowly.
The food on the table gradually decreased.
Zhu Zhu Qing's main body was already sitting in Ye Qiu's lap, her arms around his neck.
Sitting on a human chair,
she directed her clones to do housework.
"Tsk, Zhu Qing, your clones are really convenient and efficient."
Ye Qiu couldn't help but praise.
"Yeah, they are indeed quite useful."
Zhu Zhu Qing looked at the large hands warming herself inside her clothes and rolled her eyes slightly.
She silently endured it, her face red.
However, the occasional glances from her clones made her feel very strange.
*Snap!*
Zhu Zhu Qing controlled them, quickly clearing the tableware outside the door, and then had one of the clones close the door.
Being watched
, even by her own clones watching her being affectionate with Ye Qiu, made her feel somewhat uneasy.
As for playing Russian roulette with Ye Qiu...
She was also suppressing her shame, and at that time she could feel that it wasn't just Ye Qiu who was moving quickly.
Her own levitation time had also increased considerably.
"Husband, where are we going?"
Zhu Zhuqing's lips parted slightly, exhaling hot, fragrant breath that flowed into Ye Qiu's mouth and nose.
Ye Qiu took it, somewhat surprised.
"Zhuqing, don't you want to rest for a while? The Seven-in-One Fusion Technique this morning took a lot of effort, didn't it?"
Zhu Zhuqing grabbed the hand that had been traversing her chest, giving Ye Qiu a coquettish glare.
He shook his head slightly: "No need, I still want to use this time, but you've gone to more places."
"Is that so? But where we go, that's up to you, after all, I'm here to accompany you."
Ye Qiu chuckled, burying his head in Zhu Zhuqing's arms, gently biting her delicate collarbone.
His arms slowly caressed her delicate body.
"Hoo~ Hmm."
Zhu Zhuqing held Ye Qiu's head, letting out a long breath.
Several muffled sounds came from outside.
All those things had been done, and the clone had been dispelled.
"Then, shall we go to Notting City? Xiao Wu said you're interested in a little girl with innate full soul power. I'd like to go see her and pay a visit to those two elders."
Regarding Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and the other girls,
they naturally wouldn't stay quiet while Ye Qiu was spending the night out with a certain woman.
They lit candles in the courtyard or used starlight
to share their whereabouts and even their actions with Ye Qiu—anything was acceptable, as long as you were willing to talk about it.
Therefore,
Xiao Wu naturally used her persuasive skills to provide the girls with a simple guide.
Tonight, Ning Rongrong should be sitting in the main seat,
starting to talk non-stop.
But Ye Qiu guessed she definitely wouldn't mention that he had his face washed with her overflowing hot water.
Otherwise, Ye Qiu would have to beat her until she begged for mercy.
Zhu Zhuqing, seeing the struggle in Ye Qiu's eyes, thought he was a little tired.
She raised her hand to hug his neck and gently kissed his cheek with her red lips.
"Husband, what do you think? Don't you want to go?"
"No... I was just thinking about something. Since you want to go, let's go then."
Ye Qiu nodded slightly, then withdrew his hand from inside his leather jacket after a moment's hesitation.
"But going there at midday, Grandma Tom and the other two elders are probably still sleeping."
"It's alright, let's just walk."
Zhu Zhuqing blushed and murmured, straightening her slightly disheveled clothes.
"Okay, then let's go now."
Ye Qiu nodded slightly, dried Zhu Zhuqing's leather pants slightly, then activated his divine power and disappeared from the chair.
