Chapter 3121: My Wife and I Roleplay Daily Life 06

Jin Chen pointed at his own veil, his tone growing more resentful, "Make me an antidote, quickly."

Su Wan Zhao set down her hoe, arms crossed, she walked around Jin Chen once, sizing him up from head to toe, then let out a stifled laugh she couldn't hold back: "Hahaha… you still haven't wiped it off? Come on, come on, let me admire you some more, hehehe…"

She laughed so hard her shoulders shook, she was utterly delighted.

Jin Chen's eyelid twitched: "... You're still laughing?"

Su Wan Zhao showed no fear, continuing to laugh: "Hehehe… what kind of ink did Chenshu use? Even the spirit spring water won't wash it off—did he smear you with the ink used for the spell formation?"

Liu Qingqing stood nearby, extremely worried: "Senior Brother Jin Chen, will your face be ruined forever? That would be a real shame."

Su Wan Zhao laughed even louder: "Hehehe!"

Jin Chen's patience finally ran out; he lightly flicked his fingertip toward Su Wan Zhao, and a flash of spiritual light passed.

Su Wan Zhao made a new sound from her mouth: "Hehe… gugu gugu, gugu?"

A series of clear bird calls came rushing in.

She widened her eyes in disbelief, staring at Jin Chen, then tried opening her mouth: "Gugu!"

Jin Chen withdrew his finger, the corner of his mouth beneath the veil curling up slightly, his tone soft and gentle: "I see you really like birds. Wan Zhao, if you won't give me the antidote, you can go to the back mountain and make friends with the gu-gu bird."

Su Wan Zhao: "Gugu!"

She was furious, so she could only send her words to Jin Chen's ears via voice transmission: "You should go find Chenshu for revenge! He's the one who drew it, not me!"

Jin Chen gave a soft hum: "It's only a matter of time."

Su Wan Zhao continued the voice transmission: "Gugu gugu gugu!" Then go find him! Why are you coming to me?

Jin Chen spoke righteously: "First, let's solve the urgent problem."

Su Wan Zhao: "Gugu!"

Jin Chen remained unmoved: "Yeah, I also want to mess up his face."

Liu Qingqing suddenly interjected softly: "Um…"

Su Wan Zhao was still angrily making gu-gu sounds.

Jin Chen snorted: "Who says I can't beat him? He's just secretly in love with me—what can I do?"

Liu Qingqing tried again: "Senior Brother…"

Jin Chen finally glanced at her: "Huh?"

Liu Qingqing shifted her squat to the side, revealing the person standing behind her.

Chenshu wore dark red fitted attire, his high ponytail tied neatly, arms crossed, smiling faintly as he watched the scene before him, his expression rather subtle.

Jin Chen: "... Oh."

Liu Qingqing squatted on the ground, head tilted up, blinking her eyes, speaking in her soft voice: "Senior Brother Chenshu has arrived."

Chenshu smiled faintly: "You two are chatting quite happily."

Su Wan Zhao: "Gu!"

When people are embarrassed, they tend to busy themselves. Su Wan Zhao immediately squatted down, pretending to earnestly study that orchid, acting as if the plant had suddenly encountered some huge problem, while Liu Qingqing obediently kept silent.

Chenshu ignored Su Wan Zhao's feigned unconsciousness, gazing at the angry brows and eyes Jin Chen revealed, a barely perceptible flicker of amusement crossing his depths.

"Don't you know to come ask me for mercy?"

Jin Chen turned to face him, suddenly raising a hand to cover his chest; his veil fluttered with his breath, his robe swayed as a mountain breeze blew at that moment, lifting the cuffs of his moon-white robe, making him look like a willow in the wind—yet he also carried an alluring charm: "I really don't dare go to Indestructible Peak."

His voice dropped a few notches, the tail end falling slightly, the brows and eyes outside his veil drooping: "Eh, now that you know Senior Brother has other designs on me… what if… you eat me clean?"

Chenshu: "..."

He endured and endured, then got straight to the point: "I can wipe it off, but you have to promise me one thing."

Jin Chen narrowed his eyes slightly: "What is it?"

"Come to Indestructible Peak every three days to be my sparring partner."

Jin Chen blinked, doubting he'd heard right: "... What?"

Chenshu's expression was serious, with no hint of joking. He indeed had his own considerations: as the original plot progressed to its later stages, all inner disciples of the Carefree Immortal Sect must undergo the Spirit Immortal Trial; when the demon emperor emerges, war becomes inevitable. Though Jin Chen is a spellcaster, his spiritual power is indeed sufficient, his spell repertoire varied, but he's still rather weak—he collapses at the slightest touch in close combat, almost like paper.

Jin Chen looked at him, helpless and vulnerable, his voice trembling three parts and accusing seven: "I'm supposed to be a sparring partner for that terrifying body cultivator?"

"Chenshu, Chenshu, even if you have feelings for me, you don't need to think that if you can't have me, you'll make me a ghost!"

Chenshu stepped forward, raised his hand, and pressed his palm against the lower half of Jin Chen's veil, covering his mouth through the thin fabric.

"Just say whether you agree or not."

With his mouth covered, Jin Chen mumbled: "Or…"

Chenshu stared at him, his palm still pressed to the veil without loosening: "... Jin Chen, speak properly!"

Jin Chen pulled his hand away, speaking righteously: "I will not yield."

Chenshu nonchalantly threw out a killer's whip: "Even if Su Wan Zhao concocts a cleansing agent with all her might, it would still take at least seven days."

"You want to walk around with that face for seven days? The day after tomorrow is when you'll meet the new disciples' instructor."

Jin Chen's expression froze: "The day after tomorrow, I'll have to face those new junior disciples with this gu-gu bird on my face to give them a lesson?"

Just then, System 11 suddenly popped up in his sea of consciousness, a tiny light point jumping excitedly, speaking in a childish tender voice: he listened, his brows relaxed a little, and finally he nodded reluctantly: "Alright. But I also have a request."

"Go on." Chenshu raised his chin to indicate he should speak.

"You also have to be my sparring partner."

After a few moments of thought, Chenshu knew that being a spellcaster's sparring partner meant enduring all sorts of flashy magical attacks, but he still answered bluntly: "Deal."

Jin Chen immediately took off half of his veil, brought his face close, and urged eagerly: "Then hurry up and restore me!"

The distance between them instantly closed.

A gentle breeze swept through the medicinal field, carrying the fragrance of spiritual herbs. A corner of the veil was lifted by the wind, then settled back down. Liu Qingqing squatted nearby, holding the orchid as she watched the scene, letting out a soft ah, then silently used a leaf to shield her face.

How beautiful…

If it weren't for that black gu-gu bird on Senior Brother Jin Chen's face, it would be even more beautiful.

Chenshu looked at his appearance, finally unable to keep a straight face, the corner of his mouth twitched upward. He took a small vial of ointment from his sleeve, dipped his fingertip in a bit, and reached toward Jin Chen's cheek, starting from the start of the ink mark, applying it neither too lightly nor too heavily. The ointment took effect quickly upon contacting the skin, and the vivid coo‑coo bird began to fade away at a visible speed, revealing the originally fair skin underneath.

System 00: "Ahhhhh! How could you, the mission‑taker, touch his face like that! Arch‑enemies aren't allowed to do that!"

System 11: "Ahhhhh! How could you, the mission‑taker, let him touch your face like that! Arch‑enemies aren't allowed to do that!"

Chenshu replied coldly in his mind, "Shut up."

Jin Chen: "All right, all right, I have my own rhythm."

The two systems: "……"

He moved the ointment‑covered fingertip inch by inch over the ink mark, and Jin Chen frowned, urging, "Is it done?"

Chenshu withdrew his fingertip, and the whole coo‑coo bird vanished completely from Jin Chen's face, revealing the original skin tone underneath; the areas moistened by the ointment gave off a faint sheen, and the lines of his nose bridge and cheekbones emerged clean and clear. "All done. Let's go."

Jin Chen blinked, "Go? Where to?"

"Starting today," Chenshu said, looking at him with slightly narrowed eyes, "You won't want to back out, will you?"

Jin Chen immediately straightened his back: "Not at all." He paused, then tapped his chin, thinking for a few moments, "But I need to go back to Wanxiang Peak to make preparations."

Chenshu glanced at him, didn't object, "Fine, in half an hour I'll be waiting for you at Immortality Peak."

Jin Chen stood where he was, watching his silhouette disappear, then he straightened his veil again and turned to leave.
