After Transmigrating Into the Book, I Raised the Sickly Side Male Character to Be the Yandere - Chapter 168
Chapter 168: Too Hard for Tuanzi
Yin Buqi placed the listless Yin Xuansu on his right arm, gripping him by the scruff of his neck as he said, “Since you’ve embarked on the immortal path, you should cultivate with a clear heart and curb your indulgence in food.”
Jiang Niannian’s heart skipped a beat.
She barely had time to react before she saw Yin Buqi holding their fluffy, snow-white child, his expression indifferent as he grabbed the little fox’s tail and shook him downward.
With a series of soft thuds, several pieces of malt candy tumbled to the ground.
Hu Feishuang vaguely heard a soft whimpering sound.
Jiang Niannian glared at Yin Buqi.
“Why are you making him cry for no reason?”
This damn man—he was truly heartless.
Before the child was born, he had spoken so well; but now that their son was here, he treated him like this.
Just as she expected—fathers were never as doting as mothers.
Yin Buqi replied calmly, “I am showing my son care and concern.”
Jiang Niannian was momentarily stunned.
Showing care and concern…
Yin Xuansu muttered resentfully, “Mother eats five or six pieces of malt candy a day. Why can’t I?”
Jiang Niannian: “…”
Yin Buqi clearly hesitated for a moment.
But only briefly.
His expression quickly returned to its usual coldness as he warned, “Only once a day. No more than that. If you still fail to restrain yourself, then you won’t get any at all.”
At that moment, Hu Feishuang happened to enter the hall.
Seeing her, Yin Xuansu immediately brightened up, though tears still clung to the corners of his eyes.
He reached out his little hands.
“Auntie Hu!”
“Ah!” Hu Feishuang responded warmly, reaching out to take him.
“Our Tuanzi is still as adorable as ever.”
She discreetly slipped a handful of malt candies into Yin Xuansu’s pocket.
The little fox’s eyes lit up instantly.
Meanwhile, Jiang Niannian and Yin Buqi’s gazes passed over her, landing instead on the two figures behind her.
One was Coalball, the other was… Yin Ci?!
The man wore a dark archer’s robe, his hair tied in a high ponytail, secured with a golden clasp.
A crimson teardrop-shaped mole rested below his right eye.
Who else could it be but Yin Ci?
“Ah!” Jiang Niannian was the first to react, covering her mouth as her eyes welled with tears.
All her emotions tangled together in an instant.
Yin Ci’s own eyes reddened slightly, his throat choked with emotion, his voice trembling with joy at having survived against all odds.
“Brother, Sister-in-law, I’m back…”
Yin Buqi’s red eyes were half-hidden beneath his long lashes, glistening faintly.
He let out a soft chuckle, his expression finally easing.
“It’s good that you’re back…”
This unexpected reunion felt like a gift of fate.
It had been hard-won and was worth cherishing.
“Auntie Hu, when did my father suddenly get a younger brother?”
Yin Xuansu murmured while munching on his malt candy.
“Ah, well, that’s a long story…”
Hu Feishuang, unable to handle emotional reunions that brought tears, simply carried Yin Xuansu out of the hall, leaving the others to their heartfelt conversation.
—
As Hu Feishuang carried Yin Xuansu through the Heavenly realm, the little fox suddenly blurted out, “Auntie Hu, my father and mother already have me, so why haven’t you found yourself a husband yet?”
Hu Feishuang: “…”
Seeing her silence, Yin Xuanxu continued, “I heard that Auntie Hu once tried to snatch my father from my mother, but you didn’t succeed. Even so, you can’t just remain single forever, right?”
Hu Feishuang: “You little brat… I didn’t, I wasn’t, stop talking nonsense.”
She suddenly had the urge to take back the malt candies she had just given him.
Sensing her intentions, Yin Xuansu reacted swiftly, stuffing all the candies into his mouth at once.
Hu Feishuang was silent for a moment before saying, “Careful you don’t choke.”
After swallowing his candies,
Yin Xuansu gazed up at her with wide, innocent eyes.
“Auntie Hu, do you think my father doesn’t like me?”
The question had plagued him since birth.
Hu Feishuang let out a short laugh.
That old fox of a father? The only person in his eyes was Jiang Niannian.
Anyone who tried to get close to her or steal her affection, he wanted to eliminate.
The fact that Yin Xuansu not only managed to be born but also remained alive and well was already a miracle.
However, considering the child’s emotional well-being, she couldn’t exactly say that aloud.
Hu Feishuang replied vaguely, “He probably, maybe, most likely… likes you.”
Yin Xuansu bit into his malt candy with a loud crunch, still looking at her expectantly.
“Really?”
Hu Feishuang met his hopeful gaze and smacked her lips.
She tilted her head to look up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle.
After a long pause, she finally said, “Your father is… a bit extreme. In his eyes, only your mother exists. Anyone who tries to get close to her or take her attention away, he wants to eliminate. But you? Not only did you come into this world, but you’re also living a good life. Now tell me, do you think your father loves you or not?”
Her words seemed to revive Yin Xuansu’s spirits a little.
Seeing his reaction, Hu Feishuang grew curious.
“Why ask this all of a sudden?”
Yin Xuansu’s little face fell again.
“Father won’t let me sleep with Mother.”
Hu Feishuang was puzzled.
“And what does that have to do with whether he likes you?”
Yin Xuansu explained, “In the storybooks, the father, mother, and child all sleep together.”
But his father never allowed it.
Whenever his mother fell asleep in his room, his father would throw both him and his pillow out, forcing him to find somewhere else to sleep.
“Our Tuanzi is amazing, being able to read at such a young age.”
“That’s not the point!”
Hu Feishuang pondered for a moment before lowering her voice mischievously.
“If your father is stealing your mother away, why don’t you steal her back?”
Her tone was like the whisper of a devil, full of amusement and mischief.
Yin Xuansu immediately perked up.
Then he hesitated.
“But… wouldn’t Father kill me?”
Right. Why settle for sleeping together with Father when he could have Mother all to himself?
“Hmm… probably not. Your father knows that if he really kills you, your mother would hate him forever. Just act cute and whiny around her, and even if your father gets mad, he won’t be able to do anything. Besides, your father is the Lord of the underworld. Even if he loses control and accidentally kills you, he definitely has a way to bring you back.”
Yin Xuansu nodded seriously.
“Auntie Hu, I think you’re right.”
And so, the conversation shifted from “Does my father love me?” to “How can I sleep with my mother without my father killing me?”
Hu Feishuang secretly smirked.
Kids are so easy to fool.
—
That night, just as Yin Buqi was about to get intimate with Jiang Niannian, a sweet, childish voice suddenly called out from the bedside.
“Mother, Tuanzi wants to sleep with you tonight.”
Yin Xuansu clutched his little pillow, dressed in his nightclothes, barefoot, and gazing at her with wide, pleading eyes.
His fox tail swayed slightly behind him.
The bed curtains parted as Jiang Niannian broke free from Yin Buqi’s embrace and climbed out of bed.
Seeing her small, frail-looking son looking so pitiful, she couldn’t resist.
She immediately reached out and scooped him into her arms.
“Of course you can.”
She carried him onto the bed as she spoke.
Yin Xuansu curled up against her, seeking warmth and security.
However, the very next second—
A sword was suddenly placed against his throat.
The little fox froze, trembling.
Yin Buqi’s thin, crimson lips parted coldly.
“Get out.”
