Chapter 124: Meeting with Bai Suzhen - Ah? The Wives I Abandoned Turned Out to Be Real

Chapter 124: Meeting with Bai Suzhen If Su Mo becomes my brother-in-law in the future, and we live together, what if he suddenly writes a "seal" character on me? I'd fall right into his trap. With this thought, Xiaoqing couldn't help but shiver. She quickly dashed back to the inn to relay this news to her sister. If her sister remained oblivious, then there was nothing more she could do. As soon as Xiaoqing entered the inn, she saw her sister Bai Suzhen, already impatient, descending the stairs. Bai Suzhen, with anxious eyes, was dressed in new clothes and fine shoes, pacing back and forth in the lobby. The people around occasionally glanced at this pure and graceful beauty, but no one dared to approach her due to her mysterious aura. After all, only powerful and prominent beings could shed their beastly forms. Seeing Bai Suzhen, Xiaoqing rushed over. "Sister, why are you downstairs?" Bai Suzhen, upon seeing Xiaoqing, quickly approached her with concern. "Where is Su Mo? Why hasn't he come?" Sensing the urgency, Xiaoqing pulled Bai Suzhen upstairs. "Sister, there's been a change. Let me explain." Inside the inn room, Xiaoqing recounted the entire incident to Bai Suzhen. Upon hearing how Su Mo had subdued the seductive female demon with a brush, Bai Suzhen felt a pang in her heart. Why has Su Lang attracted another romantic debt? "But, Xiaoqing, you said it was because the spider spirit intended to gouge out Su Lang's eyes, which led to this, right?" Xiaoqing nodded. "Yes, sister, that spider spirit was indeed a bit arrogant and unruly. She was pretty, but definitely not a good match." Bai Suzhen sighed in relief. "That puts my mind at ease. After all, if Su Lang didn't actively provoke the spider spirit, her fate was her own doing." Seeing her sister's demeanor, Xiaoqing couldn't help but hold her forehead. Truly, love is blind. No matter what the other party does, one finds a way to excuse them. Suddenly, Bai Suzhen caught sight of Su Mo on the street from the window. "It's Su Lang… Su Lang is here." She quickly tidied her attire and descended the stairs. Xiaoqing hurried after her, inwardly mocking her sister for abandoning her at the sight of her lover. By then, Bai Suzhen was nearly out of the inn. Su Mo, who was looking at the surrounding stalls, noticed Bai Suzhen emerging. His eyes widened in admiration. He never expected to encounter Bai Suzhen here. Her features were exquisite, and she walked gracefully toward Su Mo. Knowing Su Mo was no longer the Su Lang from her past life, their relationship needed to be cultivated anew. This was the perfect opportunity. Xiaoqing soon caught up, exclaiming, "Sister, wait for me." Xiaoqing had come too! Seeing the two beautiful women, one in white and the other in green, approaching him, Su Mo felt a stir of excitement. He didn't understand how he ended up in this Yin-Yang market, but meeting three female characters from his simulations confirmed it was the right place. "Dear, your heartbeat is so rapid. It's much faster than when you spotted me before," teased Yu Luo in a sweet voice, feeling Su Mo's unusual heartbeat. Instead of replying, Su Mo adjusted his clothes and walked toward Bai Suzhen, contemplating how to strike up a conversation. As Bai Suzhen observed Su Mo walking toward her, her heart brimmed with anticipation. Just as they were about to pass by each other, Xiaoqing sneakily tripped Bai Suzhen, causing her to stumble toward Su Mo. "Aiya!" Su Mo only felt a fragrant breeze approaching as he caught the falling beauty in white. "Miss, are you alright?" Bai Suzhen's cheeks flushed. "Sir, I'm fine. Thank you for your help." Retrieving her arm from Su Mo's hold, she explained. Xiaoqing chimed in, "You're so rude. You tripped my sister and didn’t even apologize." "Huh?" Su Mo was bewildered by Xiaoqing's reproach. "I didn't…?" Recalling Xiaoqing's personality from past simulations, he understood. Her saucy disposition remained unchanged. Bai Suzhen intervened to scold Xiaoqing. "Xiaoqing, mind your manners! I tripped myself." Then she turned to Su Mo. "Apologies, sir, my sister tends to be spoiled. She loves to distort facts. To make amends, may I treat you to a meal?" Su Mo was delighted. "I'd be honored." Xiaoqing smirked as she watched. Truly, those two... She clearly noticed Su Mo's fiery gaze toward her sister. What a wolf in sheep's clothing! Inside, she disapproved of this potential brother-in-law. As they walked back to the inn together, Yu Luo, curled up against Su Mo, shuddered, overwhelmed by Bai Suzhen's strong presence, akin to ancient demons she once encountered. Seated in the inn, after Bai Suzhen ordered food, two flower spirits soon brought a pot of hundred-flower brew and some fresh fruits and vegetables. "Sir, do these suit your palate?" Su Mo nodded. "Absolutely. Besides, being treated by such a beauty is a rare fortune." Bai Suzhen covered her mouth, laughing softly. "Sir, you have a way with words. Forgive me, I haven't introduced myself. I am Bai Suzhen, and this is my sister Xiaoqing. We currently reside by Hangzhou's West Lake. Where do you hail from, sir?" Su Mo promptly introduced himself, sharing his details. "If you have time, you're welcome to dine at my restaurant. My dishes are quite good." "That sounds great," Bai Suzhen agreed, her gaze filled with admiration for Su Mo. No ordinary person could be in this Yin-Yang market, a mutual understanding they'd silently reached, exchanging addresses. Still, Su Mo was concerned. Bai Suzhen's reason for being in Hangzhou seemed tied to repaying a debt and later marrying Xu Xian. Just thinking about it left Su Mo heavy-hearted. If only such a beauty would be with him, it would be a true blessing of this world. Alas… Chatting with a beauty made time fly. Before he knew it, Su Mo and Bai Suzhen had chatted for over an hour. When Bai Suzhen inquired about how he arrived at the Yin-Yang market, Su Mo recalled his mission to find a way back. "I don't know how. I was mysteriously transported here. I'm searching for a way back." Upon hearing this, Bai Suzhen took out a jade token. "Then, I’ll lend you this jade token. It's called Gen Di Jade, allowing you to return to your original place anytime. You can also use it to access this market at will. If you wish to return it, you can bring it back to my place. I'll welcome you with wine." Su Mo, thrilled, accepted the jade. "Of course! I’ll return it." Seeing the agreed time approach, Xiaoqing reminded her sister that it was time to leave. Bai Suzhen, though reluctant, recognized there would be plenty of time ahead. She nodded. "Alright," she said. Su Mo immediately rose. "Allow me to escort you both out." "Very well." As Su Mo accompanied Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing to the door, the two transformed into a green and white smoke, disappearing from sight. Watching Bai Suzhen vanish, Su Mo shook his head. What an unforgettable encounter this was. Yu Luonang slowly emerged from Su Mo's chest. "Sir, that Bai Suzhen is terrifying." "What's so scary about her?" Su Mo was curious, not quite understanding Yu Luonang's remark. "Even though her cultivation is only twelve hundred years, I can sense that she will soon become an immortal." "Achieving immortality in twelve hundred years—such talent is extraordinary.” "I wonder who her master is." Su Mo was stunned by her words, feeling a pang of discomfort in his heart. He knew that for Bai Suzhen to achieve immortality, she had to pay back Xu Xian. Whatever happens, happens. When he heads to Hangzhou, if she has not yet repaid her debt, he would try to win Bai Suzhen's heart first! As for achieving immortality, he possessed the Affectionate Fate Life system. Perhaps, in the future, it might reward him with immortality pills or elixirs. He could then give them to Bai Suzhen. He then took out the Gen Di Jade. The tree demon would be vanquished in less than two years. With the Gen Di Jade, he could frequently check if there were items he needed. Madam Huang, Guo Lin, and Spring Bamboo remained mortal. He had to acquire something like a Youth Retaining Pill or Longevity Pill for them. With a flash of white light, Su Mo and Yu Luonang vanished from the Yin-Yang Market. When Su Mo returned to the restaurant, only half an hour had passed. Xuyan and Spring Bamboo were busy in the kitchen, cleaning the smoke and grime. Their fair faces were now stained in patches of black and white. Seeing Su Mo return, Xuyan quickly approached, her eyes filled with concern. "Where have you been all this time?" Su Mo quickly concocted an excuse. "Oh, nowhere special, just went for a walk by the river to clear my head." "No need to worry about me." "But both you and Spring Bamboo are quite dirty." "Why don't the two of you share a bath today, and I'll buy another tub tomorrow?" Spring Bamboo's eyes arched with a smile. "It's fine, Brother Su." "No, it's not fine." "Make sure to clean up thoroughly." "Okay." A blush spread across Spring Bamboo's fair cheeks. She knew exactly what Su Mo meant. Glancing at the backyard, Su Mo saw only one bedroom, a brewing room, and a restroom. With him, Spring Bamboo, and Xuyan living there, it was a tight fit. In the future, more people might move in. Su Mo considered buying a house near the restaurant. Only this way could everyone have a room to themselves. However, he currently lacked silver. Suddenly, Su Mo remembered the thousand tael silver note Huang Qingwan had given him. If he used part of it, a few hundred taels could secure a nice property. What's more, Huang Qingwan wouldn't ask for it back anytime soon. Even if she did, he could stall her with his craftsmanship; Su Mo believed he could earn more money. If worst comes to worst, selling jade at the Yin-Yang Market is always a viable option… (End of Chapter)
