Kapitel 93: Girl, Call Me Hubby!
As Shen and Shi Qingzhuang was already done having breakfast, the dishes, which was enough to fill seven or eight people, were completely emptied by the duo. Mostly by Shen himself.
Only now did Shen realize he planned to visit the beautiful chef of the Earthly Paradise but due to the sudden danger of the Skysword Sect, he had to leave fast and it completely slipped his mind.
'Forget it, if I find the appropriate time I'll do it. Otherwise, there's no need to go there specifically. Cooking isn't my main path...' Shen thought as he buried this idea to the back of his mind.
He saw Shi Qingzhuang in front of him looking hesitant so he smiled gently, "Qingzhuang, do you want to say something? You don't have to hesitate, I will answer anything possible."
Shi Qingzhuang felt ashamed for being seen through so easily but she still asked, "Do you plan to go outside this year again?"
"Yes, more like I'll leave in three months at most and one month at least." Shen didn't hesitate a bit while responding. He only used Hundred Miles City as his starting point of cultivation and at that time though, that was only an excuse. He came to this city because he wanted Shi Qingzhuang, Yu He, Mingyue Gelou and Wenren Sisters. It's not that he didn't have some weird ideas about Qing Yi, Qing Shui's mother but it turned out to be impossible. Especially since she knew him from his childhood. If it wasn't for him realizing that most of the beauties were older than him and leaving the city soon after, he would really have no hope to gain Yu He and Feng Wuxi's affection. Feng Wuxi's affection was completely unexpected to Shen. In fact, he didn't even remember her in his memories but he felt he had a chance with her and left no tactics to pursue her.
Now he had no reason to stay in Hundred Miles City anymore and it will only hinder his progress. Especially after going to the journey inside the secret realm alone, he realized, that type of adventure suited his cultivation more rather than closed-door cultivations.
Hearing Shen's reply Shi Qingzhuang turned silent. Apparent signs of sadness could be seen on her face. Maybe she was trying to suppress it, but tear filled her eyes as Shen started to panic slightly, "W-wait, Qingzhuang what happened? Although I am going, it's not as if I'm going alone! When I go I will take you girls with me, I am just moving to Greencloud City!"
"Girls?" the sadness from Shi Qingzhuang's face suddenly disappeared and was replaced by an extremely focused look.
Shen was baffled by her sudden change. Even he won't be able to change his expression and state of mind this fast! "Figure of speech, just a—"
"You're lying! You think I haven't heard rumors of your relation with Yu He Inn Mistress and Wenren Wushuang of the Night Fragrance Court!" her voice and expression took 180-degree turn and she had an extremely stern face.
Shen was really afraid now, not because she was inquiring about his harem but because of her sudden change. He knew how much she committed to himself but he still couldn't be sure of her decision. It was truly the situation you would express as 'digging one's own grave'. "They are—"
Shi Qingzhuang didn't let him speak but continued but now her voice became calm and cold, "So, they are true after all? How many girls you have a relation with? You can't take such thing so lightly. Just getting"
Shen truly didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He heard in his previous life, even presidents are sheep in front of their wife but, he couldn't help but feel this situation was really not a good feeling. She was just going on and on without letting him speak a bit.
Sighing slightly, Shen stored the table inside the Immortal Realm. The distance between them was hindering him. Shen didn't feel he was great at explaining his feelings but he definitely won't suck to convey them. From her voice, it was painfully obvious that she felt insecure and to Shen it only looked like a child throwing tantrum. Maybe she opened herself completely to him, hence she acted like this. Otherwise, he never saw her being talking so much.
Shi Qingzhuang was stunned by seeing the table disappearing. She had no idea how Shen did that. She read about Interspatial Silk Sachet before but at this time, she didn't even have any clues in her head.
Sitting beside her, he took her hand on his and said in a gentle and soothing voice, "I admit that I'm a bit womanizer, er... maybe more than a bit and I'll have a lot of women in the future but I will never abandon anyone. I'm not taking anyone's feeling lightly either and I'm not playing with you either. Heh, try running away from me, I'll catch you even if you run to the world's end."
Shi Qingzhuang went silent. She was kinda relieved and also at a loss at the same time. This, which man calls himself a womanizer? Isn't it basically asking for a beating? But when he said with such gentle voice she couldn't help but feel her heart moved. She reckoned even if Shen was deceiving her she couldn't hate this young man, at least not after hearing this.
"Girl, call me hubby." Lost in her thoughts, she suddenly heard whispers near her ears.
"Hubby?" unfocused, she muttered out loud. Only then did she realize, she was tricked into calling him hubby!
"Yes, Zhuang'er?" Shen said with an almost unerasable smug look on his face. Shi Qingzhuang had the sudden urge to beat him, then and there. But with a sudden knock on the door they both separated and Shen took out the table on its original place.
"Come in," Shen said, storing the wine bottle inside the realm once again. Although he won't get drunk, he didn't like the idea of drinking in the morning, especially when there was no special occasion.
The waitress cleaned the table with the help of the other two girls as she presented the bill. Shen took a glance on the bill as he paid with a little extra tip. The bill for wine was separated from the food, they clearly conveyed their intention that he didn't have to pay for it if he wished. Shen didn't act petty and paid for it. He only warned her so that she won't try anything funny.
Shen stretched his body after leaving the inn. The morning sunny weather was already replaced by snowfall. He asked as he turned around, "Hey, do you—"
But his mouth lacked any words after he turned to Shi Qingzhuang. In the beautiful white snowfall, a red colored dress hugged her slim body. Her long hairs gracefully dropped below her shoulders. In her hands, the white bouquet wrapping red flowers created a beautiful contrast on her hands. She looked akin to a snow princess, especially with her smile that even paled the beauty of this white snow.
Shen felt a strange calmness spreading his body as well as his spirit. The Qi of Absolute Strengthening Technique circulated around his body automatically as another five strand formed in no time. Combined with his previous cultivation he had a total of 44 strands of surrounding his body!
By the time he came to his senses, Shi Qingzhuang was already standing in front of him, giving him a questioning glance. Shen didn't know what happened just now but he realized one thing. He wanted her to keep smiling, he wanted to her to be happy, forever and ever.
"Let's go," Shen found the little girl they bought the flowers from, and he walked over. Patting the girls head from behind, he asked curiously, "Little girl, what are you doing?"
"Ah?!" the little girl jumped up in fright, seeing its the familiar older brother she patted her chest, "Just when I thought you were a good brother, you turned out to be a bad uncle. Grandma told me many times, I shouldn't trust anyone easily. I almost got tricked once again."
Shen ignored the 'bad uncle' part and asked again, "Why aren't you going back yet? You will catch a cold, girl."
"Uncle, can't you see I'm going back? I went to buy soup for grandma," she showed the bag on her hands and pouted cutely.
"Oh, but why only milk and soup?" Shen found it weird, seeing only milk and soup. Shouldn't she buy something tastier?
"Grandma is sleeping for a few days, she can't eat anything. I can only feed her soup and milk," The little looked sad saying this, she indeed wanted to buy tastier looking meats but her dear grandma couldn't eat them in her current state.
Hearing the little girl, Shen's heart suddenly clenched tightly.

Kapitel 94: Uncle, Please Stop!
Shen tried to ignore the clenching feeling in his heart as much as possible. He might not feel a thing killing hundreds of his enemies but hearing the girl saying such a thing in her innocent voice shook his heart.
Shi Qingzhuang didn't look any better than Shen. She also realized what Shen thought and it was pretty obvious after hearing the little girl.
Shen bent down before the girl and asked as gently as possible, "Haha, little girl, will you take big brother with you? Big brother wants to see grandma too."
"No! Your not a big brother. You are an uncle. A bad uncle. Grandma doesn't like bad uncles. She won't see bad uncles!" The little girl complained but anyone could see she was happy. No one wanted to see her grandma before. She wanted to brag about her good and kind grandma to everyone but no one cared about her. Now that this big brother cared about her most precious relative, it was as if he had won the adoration of this little girl. She cutely pouted and looking a tad bit unwilling, "But if you really insist grandma might not hate it..."
"Haha, yeah. I really insist." Shen tried to laugh at the girl's cheerful words but he really found him unable to. Shi Qingzhuang also patted the girl's head as they were both led by her very soon.
It didn't take long for Shen to arrive before a rundown hut. On the way, he asked the little girl a lot of things and she happily told Shen everything.
From what he understood, the parents of the little girls were normal mercenaries who would fight wild beasts and ferocious beasts on the forest for a living. Around four months ago, her parents died and they were forced on this shack. Of course, the girl didn't know such a thing and she only knew her parents went to fight some baddies and will return 'one day'. After the death of her parents, their relatives didn't accept the little girl and the old lady. The old lady was already at her late eighties, combined with the sadness of losing her son and daughter-in-law, she finally couldn't hold herself anymore and passed on. Maybe even the last four months she was holding herself for the sake of her granddaughter.
When the little girl—who addressed herself as Ju Ju— opened the door as an intense rotting smell rushed into their nose. They both frowned and Shen was confirmed his wild guess silently. It was something he hoped wasn't true but not something he could change.
"Eih, don't mind the smell. Grandma is sleeping for a long time, she is reeking of sweat. Mmm, I will wash her and she will smell wonderful again, hehehe" the little girl, Ju Ju laughed happily as she tidied the 'room' before she took out a bowl, intending to feed soup to her 'sleeping' grandma.
As Ju Ju was trying to feed her grandma, Shen stopped her. She sent a questioning look towards Shen. He didn't say anything and turned the body of the old lady.
Flies hovered on the air and created weird noises. The smell suddenly intensified. Looking at the old lay—now a dead body—Shen estimated she died at least five to seven days ago. Human on the world of nine continent had higher vitality from his previous world but this lady was already weak and considering how much time passed, it was already fortunate her body didn't deteriorate completely. Still there were signs of rotten skins.
Seeing the girl who still giving him inquiring glance, Shen frowned. He didn't know how to break it to this girl. She was definitely more understanding than girls of her age and even a normal 11-12 years old child would know this old lady was no longer alive. Children in this world matured faster than the children from his past world. It may be due to their struggle from childhood or the cruelness that made them mature faster.
He thought multiple ways but in the end decided to bring this up front, without any trick but he still couldn't say frankly, "Juju, your grandma isn't here anymore. She won't wake up again."
"Uncle, please stop! My grandma is right here and she will surely wake up. She is just sleeping."
Shen realized she took his words literally and almost facepalmed. He sucked in a heavy breath.
"Juju, your grandma is dead. You already know it, don't you. You shouldn't pain her any longer."
Tears flowed down the little girl's cheek, her expression looked unwilling and fearful. She murmured "You're lying, you're lying" loudly, she even hit him with her dainty arms. But she already knew the answer.
That's right, the little girl who was more intelligent than her peers wasn't oblivious to such a simple thing. She already knew her parents won't return anymore and her only relatives were her grandmother. When she died, even if Ju Ju didn't understand immediately, she learned about it soon enough but her subconscious mind completely ignored such a thing.
Human, in their desperate times can do a lot of desperate things. The little girl, who couldn't bear the pain of her last relative leaving her alone and decided to ignore the fact that she was no longer with her. And Shen's word only pushed her a little to realize this fact. She couldn't run away from it anymore.
She fell weaklessly on the ground and hugged her grandmother's body, crying her chest out. Shen didn't try to stop her from crying nor did he let Shi Qingzhuang do it. He felt she should cry, she was still just a little girl. If she cried contently maybe she would be able to return to her cheerful life once again.
It was only when she couldn't cry loudly anymore and her voice choked, did Shen let Shi Qingzhuang take care of the little girl.
Later that day, Shen called a few men to respectfully give the old lady a proper burial. Everything was done before the eyes of the little girl. She didn't sleep ever after crying herself to exhaustion but persisted to remain awake the whole time.
By the time everything was taken care of, it was already night and the little girl fell asleep on Shi Qingzhuang's arms.
"Shen, what do you want to do with this girl?" Shi Qingzhuang nervously asked she was afraid that Shen will decide to leave the girl on her own hut.
Shen felt the answer to her question was extremely easy, at the same time extremely hard. He couldn't bring himself to leave the girl, nor will he do that. But what will he say to Yu Ruyan and the girls? He couldn't just say, I got interested in the girl and took her in. They would surely bash him while cursing him as a lolicon even before hearing his explanation!
But again... he couldn't leave the girl alone. She had no relative either. He decided he will nurture her and grow her up to be a prodigy. Bashing from the girls? As a man he decided to have a harem, he thought it was something he must face one day. What if he experienced it a few years before? He would count it as practice!
