Chapter 260: 260 First, Let Me Save You Some Strength

Gou Sheng's debt should have been collected long ago, but Tushan Jiu forgot again, so it was dragged to the last day.

When arriving at Gou Sheng's home, Gou Sheng was already at death's door, even unable to maintain his human form.

Gou Dan knelt beside his bed, saying she had been foolish in the past, causing the old man to worry for a lifetime, and other repentant words.

Tushan Jiu did not utter a word.

Only after losing something does one know to cherish it; that's the norm.

At that time, Gou Sheng merely placed his front paw on Gou Dan's head, then looked at Gou Dan's wife's belly and said, 'Raise my grandchildren well, Dad is leaving.'

Having said that, he slowly closed his eyes.

Tushan Jiu saw Bao Wei arrive and hooked away Gou Sheng's soul.

Gou Sheng called out to Tushan Jiu twice, and Tushan Jiu knew he was saying thank you to her.

Tushan Jiu smiled slightly, then clasped her hands toward Bao Wei.

Bao Wei nodded, taking Gou Sheng's soul and disappearing inside the house.

Gou Sheng's demonic power was not shallow; after all, being able to guard the gate at the Nan Cheng office, his strength was naturally not weak.

She did not turn this demonic power into food, but instead called Bai Yu.

Last time she promised that guy, if she encountered demonic power suitable for his cultivation, she would sell it to him.

Foxes are also canines, making them perfectly suitable.

For an entire week, Tushan Jiu was very idle, and incidentally went out to complete this year's Knife-debtor's KPI.

There was no way; her grandfather urged her again.

Tonight, Tushan Jiu and Xie Shiyu returned to the old residence for dinner, because today was Old Master Xie's birthday.

Originally the family wanted to hold a birthday banquet for him, but he complained it was too noisy, saying they could wait until his eightieth birthday, so they just celebrated together as a family.

It had been almost a month since they last saw each other; upon returning, things felt natural as usual, and Tushan Jiu drank quite a bit with the old master.

After wishing the old master a happy birthday, seeing that Tushan Jiu was a little drunk, Xie Shiyu planned to stay overnight at the old residence.

But after Tushan Jiu said something in his ear, he changed his mind and drove back to Shengshi Haoting in the middle of the night.

Tushan Jiu said, 'Xie Shiyu, my aunt has been gone for several days; I want you to handle something for me, okay?'

The car entered the underground garage, Xie Shiyu took Tushan Jiu's hand and went up the elevator, not saying a word the whole way.

Yet his steps had never been this hurried.

The elevator to the top floor is separate.

As soon as the elevator doors closed, Xie Shiyu lifted Tushan Jiu up in a vertical embrace and pressed her against the cabin wall for a deep kiss.

Her ragged breathing turned scorching, making Tushan Jiu squint her eyes.

The alcohol from today lingered; by the time they got home, her intoxication had mostly worn off.

She never blacks out, so she knows exactly what she said.

With a 'ding,' the elevator doors opened; they were home.

Xie Shiyu's breathing was uneven as he held her and walked out of the elevator; the urgent kiss turned into a sticky suction.

The sensitive earlobe was Xie Shiyu's main target.

Tushan Jiu only felt goosebumps rising all over her body, giving her a feeling of not knowing what evening this was.

He kicked open the master bedroom door, laid her on the bed, and Xie Shiyu eagerly lunged forward again, but Tushan Jiu braced herself against his chest.

"I haven't showered yet; I want to shower first, then we can do it."

Xie Shiyu kissed her snow-white collarbone, then lightly bit a small patch of skin, hoarsely saying, 'All right, together, I'll carry you.'

Tushan Jiu didn't pretend; she wrapped her arms around his neck, letting Xie Shiyu carry her to the bathroom.

The bath water was hot, but it couldn't match the warmth of Xie Shiyu's big hand in front of her.

Tushan Jiu trembled a little, 'Mmm... thank, thank Xie Shiyu, we agreed I would wash myself!'

Xie Shiyu naturally said, 'My wife will be tired later; I'll take over now to save you some energy.'

His large hand brushed over her sensitive spot; Tushan Jiu almost cried out, but Xie Shiyu, as if he had anticipated it, directly gripped the back of her neck and lowered his head to swallow her.

Tushan Jiu secretly inhaled a breath, her mind going blank for a moment.

When she came to, she felt as if she were back on the day they got their license, hearing Xie Shiyu's words in her ear: 'Don't cry tonight......'

Her words seemed to have been spoken too early.

In the bathroom, merely the appetizer, Tushan Jiu already felt her legs going weak.

She couldn't help but feel this didn't make much sense.

She had trained martial arts for years, her strength ample; how could she go limp from just two touches by Xie Shiyu?

Little did she know, even more unreasonable things were still to come.

Except for the first time, Xie Shiyu might have been too excited, so it ended in fifteen minutes; afterward, each session lasted about forty minutes.

She cried.

She really cried.

But Xie Shiyu didn't stop; he merely increased the pressure while coaxing her, 'Wife, I promise this time it'll be quick, be good.'

In Tushan Jiu's view, there was only his scorching gaze, rolling Adam's apple, clenched jaw, and an expression both satisfied and lost.

Oh, right, her earlier wish had been fulfilled.

His uncontrolled panting she heard, right by her ear; moreover, besides those, she also heard another sound at the moment he tightly embraced her trembling body.

Finally, when Tushan Jiu fell asleep, she truly couldn't remember.

Anyway, before she fell asleep, she saw him get off the bed, bend over, and want to hold her.

She thought, this is practically more exhausting than fighting a thousand-year-old fierce ghost.

Seeing the person in his arms already asleep like that, Xie Shiyu's face was full of contentment and a happy smile; he adjusted the water temperature and gave her a bath.

After seeing the marks on her body, he gave her a leg massage, then checked whether he had injured her; after all, today he truly lost all self-control.

Especially when she shouted his name, calling herself his wife, he believed no man could stay calm.

After checking carefully several times and confirming his clumsiness hadn't hurt her, he finally felt relieved.

He applied medicine to her, then carried her to the guest room to sleep, because the main bedroom bed had been tossed about by the two of them and was no longer fit for sleep.

Tushan Jiu slept straight through to the next afternoon.

She was still woken by a burst of phone ringing.

It was Bai Yu.

Tushan Jiu grabbed her phone and tapped to answer.

The moment she spoke, she dazed, wondering if that voice was hers.

Bai Yu didn't think much, hearing her voice he asked, "Jiu, did you catch a cold?"

Tushan Jiu gave a light cough, "No, I was shouting. Why call so early?"

"Jiu, are you sure it's early? It's already 3:30 p. m.; did you stay up late catching ghosts last night?"

Tushan Jiu: "Um... roughly. Let's talk about what's up."

"I've wrapped up filming, I've come back to get some demonic power from you—how much? Name your price."

"Fifty million." Tushan Jiu named her price.

Bai Yu quickly agreed, "No problem! I'll transfer it to you later; when will you give me the demonic power?"

"Maybe tomorrow, I'm not convenient today." Even staying still she felt sore in her waist and legs, so she didn't want to go out.

Bai Yu: "All right, then I'll hang up. See you tomorrow, bye."

"Mm." After hanging up, the bedroom door happened to be opened.

Xie Shiyu walked in wearing loungewear.
