Capítulo 107

Even though Su Chenche, who was so badly injured, was already lively and energetic, the wound on her left chest still hadn't fully healed.

Dieyi comforted her while munching on a pear: "Miss, just focus on recovering. Anyway, Young Master Su sneaks over every night, so what difference does it make whether you can go out or not?"

Shen Zhili: "I really don't like this feeling of being unjustified..."

Dieyi scoffed: "It's just having an affair, isn't it?"

Shen Zhili suddenly turned her head: "Where did you hear this kind of word?"

Dieyi raised her hands, biting into a pear and mumbled, "Uh...it's not my fault, it was Zhanxuan, Zhanxuan said it! He said that Master is indeed smart, the most exciting thing in life is having an affair, it's much more interesting than normal lovemaking..."

Shen Zhili said grimly, "...Stay away from Zhan Xuan from now on."

Dieyi: "Uh..."

Shen Zhili changed the subject: "By the way, that letter should have been delivered by now."

Dieyi counted on her fingers: "It should have been delivered half a month ago. Miss Ye should arrive in the next couple of days!"

"Bang."

The door was violently pushed open, shaking and making repeated banging noises.

Ye Qianqian stepped on the scattered debris and looked around: "Valley Master Shen, I've come to offer my condolences." Turning back, she said, "A gift!"

The Gandharva King entered first, carrying a zither. He placed a beautiful jewelry box in Shen Zhili's hands, his smile gentle and refined, showing no trace of his former fierce appearance: "Valley Master Shen, a woman adorns herself for the one she loves... Inside are some fine rouge and face powder that I specially prepared, which I think will be useful to you."

Shen Zhili: "...Thank you."

Yaksha King followed him in, placed a dagger on the jewelry box, and raised an eyebrow with a smile, saying, "For self-defense."

Shen Zhili: "...Thank you."

Asura King was the fastest, almost flashing past, and a box containing various tonics appeared next to Shen Zhili.

Shen Zhili: "Thank you."

...Finally, someone who's somewhat reliable has come along.

Shen Zhili glanced at the tonics and froze.

The box clearly displayed several small characters: Deer penis, Tiger penis, Sheep penis...

The Dragon King came last, his hands behind his back, looking somewhat shy: "A plate of braised pork."

Shen Zhili: "..."

Lowering her head, Shen Zhili saw what was being stuffed into her hand... uh, half a plate of braised pork.

The Dragon King hurriedly explained, "I didn't steal the food! I tripped and fell on the way here, and half a plate of meat fell to the ground!"

Shen Zhili: "..."

Please, when you lie, wipe the oil from the corners of your mouth, okay?

"This is……"

Asura King suddenly pointed at the paper on Shen Zhili's table covered with drawings of little figures.

King Gandharva stepped forward first and took it, exclaiming, "Let me see! Haha, it really is!"

The Asura King said coldly, "Don't take it all! Give me half!"

The Gandharva King smiled charmingly: "Here you go, here you go. It's a deal, we'll exchange after you've finished reading."

The Asura King said impatiently, "I know, woman. When have I ever gone back on my word?"

Then, the two of them watched as if no one else was around, occasionally letting out terrifying and eerie laughter...

Yaksha King drew his sword: "I'm going out to find someone to practice my swordsmanship with."

The Dragon King burped and said honestly, "I'll go see if the kitchen needs any help!"

The two of them disappeared in a flash.

Shen Zhili suddenly thought, "Master Ye, where is Protector Yu?"

Ye Qianqian: "We came out to play, and he was watching the teachings."

Shen Zhili: "...I see."

Ye Qianqian scratched her head, thinking about what she could do: "I..."

Before he could finish speaking, a surprised voice rang out from outside the door.

"Ye...Qianqian?"

Ye Qianqian turned around calmly: "Oh, Young Master Hua."

Hua Jiuye stood outside the door, unconsciously shaking her long, glossy black hair, and clenching her fist under her lips.

"Ahem... What brings you here?"

I'm a little nervous...

Ye Qianqian: "The situation of the Demonic Sect is settled. I've come to see Valley Master Shen."

Hua Jiuye: "Ahem, would you like to take a stroll through Spring Valley? I can be your guide."

Ye Qianqian thought for a moment, and since she had nothing else to do anyway, she nodded and said, "Okay."

Then, the two walked out side by side in harmony.

*******************************************************************************

Shen Zhili breathed a sigh of relief and waved to Dieyi: "We can go out now..."

No one responded.

"Butterfly dress, butterfly dress..."

Dieyi poked her head out from outside the door: "Miss, it seems like Young Master Su is arguing."

"What?"

Shen Zhili lifted the hem of her skirt and ran towards Su Chenche.

I couldn't help but think to myself: It's strange how many people are here today...

Shen Zhili was stunned as soon as she entered the courtyard.

Her face was breathtakingly beautiful, with delicate eyebrows and eyes, thin and exquisite lips, and her whole being was as clear and transparent as crystal.

...Having seen so many dead people, this was the first time Shen Zhili had ever seen a living one.

It was beautiful in the past, but it always seemed to lack a certain vitality; but now…

"What! You're saying he's my son!?" Shen Jiyue put one hand on her hip and pointed at Su Chenche with the other.

...It feels like I was a little angry.

The white-haired man on the other side nodded: "He is your and Su Shenyan's son, Su Chenche."

Shen Zhili: "May I ask who you are...?"

Shen Jiyue interrupted, "Yu Yan, the former leader of the Demonic Sect, my childhood sweetheart, the one who killed me. By the way, who are you?"

Shen Zhili exclaimed in surprise: "Didn't you say that Yu Yan is already dead? And I am... uh, I can't explain it right now."

Shen Jiyue: "He faked his death. Anyway, I can come back to life, so what's the big deal if he's still alive?"

The white-haired man quietly turned his gaze to Shen Zhili, his icy eyes seeming to melt away, revealing a hint of relief.

Shen Zhili frowned slightly, sensing a strange sense of familiarity.

I feel like I've seen this person somewhere before.

"Are you... really my son?" Shen Jiyue asked, biting her finger.

Su Chenche also seemed to find it somewhat difficult to speak.

After a moment of contemplation, he said, "From a bloodline perspective, that should be the case."

That's for sure. If Shen Zhili were to see a woman who looked about the same age as her and was exceptionally beautiful, she would never be able to say "Mother."

Shen Jiyue circled around Su Chenche for a long time, then looked him up and down for a while.

Su Chenche asked politely, "Do you think there's anything wrong with my son?"

Shen Jiyue stopped, then bit her finger hard again: "No problem, it's just too no problem..."

Su Chenche: "What do you mean..."

Shen Jiyue: "It suits my taste perfectly."

Su Chenche: "..."

Lowering her fingers, Shen Jiyue took Su Chenche's arm and lifted his chin, saying, "Son, I love your face so much. Do you mind incest?"

Su Chenche: "..."

Shen Zhili: "..."

Yu Yan: "..."

Shen Jiyue gently kissed Su Chenche's lips: "Son, marry me!"

Shen Zhili: "..."

Although she has accepted that Su Shenyan is dead, isn't her acceptance level a bit too high? Hey, even though your husband has been dead for many years, to you he's only been dead for a few months!

And this is her son, her own son! She won't even spare her own son?

Yu Yan: "..."

...So all along I've only lost because of my appearance!

The older man felt a pang in his heart.

Su Chenche grabbed Shen Zhili and pulled her in front of him, saying, "Zhili, greet your mother-in-law!"

Shen Zhili: "..."

Hey, Su, don't use me as a shield! You think I can say what you can't?

Shen Jiyue glanced at Shen Zhili and sighed, "So you're already taken, hello wife." She extended her hand.

Shen Zhili: "Hello..." Shake hands.
