Chapter 304: The Sect Leader Wakes Up Grumpy Every Day (52)

Shen Mubai felt uncomfortable hearing herself being called “Madam” again. However, since everyone in the Fire Lotus Sect was calling her that, it seemed as if she had indeed married Jun Jiuling.

Her own wishes were completely ignored, and Shen Mubai couldn’t help but sigh softly. She decided to just let it be.

Dinner was held in the main hall.

Shen Mubai, under numerous gazes, stiffly ate the food Jun Jiuling had placed in her bowl.

The two of them sat at the main table, with You Yi, Zuo Yi, and Yun Niang sitting beside them.

The strategist, having learned his lesson, sensibly stayed in the corner, quietly eating his meal.

Although the atmosphere was quite tense, the food at this inn was delicious. Shen Mubai soon forgot the awkwardness until Yun Niang brought up the wedding plans, nearly causing her to choke.

Jun Jiuling, with his handsome face showing no expression, patted her back and said, “Eat slowly.” Then he looked up at Yun Niang and said, “You handle it.”

Everyone congratulated them.

Shen Mubai, “…Doesn’t anyone care about my opinion?”

Yun Niang giggled and said, “Madam, I will make sure to prepare your dowry properly.”

Wu Er, who usually didn’t get along with her, widened his eyes and said in his rough voice, “How is our young master not worthy of you?”

If Jun Jiuling weren’t there, he might have slammed the table already.

While stuffing his mouth, You Yi said, “Madam, don’t worry; our young master will definitely treat you well.”

The strategist, forgotten in the corner, also chimed in, “Madam, if you’re worried about him taking concubines in the future, rest assured, our young master would never betray you.”

Jun Jiuling gave the strategist an approving look, and only then did the strategist breathe a sigh of relief.

What else could Shen Mubai say? Her personal freedom and right to speak had been completely taken over.

Silently taking a bite of her food, Shen Mubai asked the system, “What should I do?”

The system replied, “Don’t worry, Jun Jiuling won’t marry you anytime soon.”

Shen Mubai thought about it and agreed. After all, the matter with the evil party hadn’t been resolved yet, and the mission progress was already at seventy percent.

Late at night, she was once again joined in bed.

Probably because she had slept too much during the day, Shen Mubai was not very sleepy. She rubbed her eyes and said, “Ah Ling.”

The other person didn’t respond; he just moved closer.

Shen Mubai felt his warm, firm body pressing against hers, and then her lips were covered with something soft.

Startled, she widened her eyes.

The soft touch left her lips, then returned, and she was kissed again.

Jun Jiuling’s narrow eyes stared at her. “You owe me.”

Shen Mubai naturally understood what he meant. Indeed, last night, Jun Jiuling hadn’t kissed her cheek as usual, but at that time, she was too sleepy to notice such a small detail.

But…

Kissing on the cheek and kissing on the lips are two completely different things!

She took a deep breath and solemnly said to him, “You can’t kiss me there.”

Jun Jiuling’s eyes darkened for a moment, and in a deep voice, he asked, “Why?”

Shen Mubai thought for a moment and finally said, “Because… it’s not clean.”

A hint of amusement flashed in Jun Jiuling’s eyes. If he were still his old self, he might have been fooled by such an explanation.
