Chapter 106

Listening to Lin Zaozao, the topic shifted to the bridal chamber. After a self-deprecating laugh from Murong Hai and his companions, they slowly began to explain.

"Zaozao, we are all helpless in this situation. If we enter the bridal chamber with you and have a child, how will you raise the child alone?

Originally, after we returned, we didn't plan on continuing to live. But now, we actually hope to come back alive.

After coming back, we will only be your husband, the ordinary village man, Lin Zaozao's husband."

"Is what you're saying true? Do you really like me?"

"It's true."

Murong Hai and his companions affirmed.

"Since you all like me, can you tell me about your identities or anything that has happened to you?"

"Zaozao, we can't tell you. If we say too much, it will only bring you harm and no benefit," said Ye Yi slowly and deliberately.

"Alright then! I won't ask anymore. I'll wait for your return. It's just three months, and it will pass in the blink of an eye.

Everyone, please get up! We are husband and wife, so even if there's something to discuss, there's no need to kneel before me. To be honest, it makes me quite uncomfortable to see you all kneeling before me."

After helping Murong Hai and his companions up, Lin Zaozao turned to Xiao Taohua.

"Xiao Taohua, what about you? Do you want to leave?"

"I won't leave. Compared to the past, I care more about what I have now. Zaozao, we have already gone through the wedding ceremony. I am your true husband from now on. Wherever you are, that's where I'll be."

"Is that so? I thought you were joking during our last wedding ceremony!"

Upon hearing Lin Zaozao's words, Xiao Taohua's face suddenly darkened. He coldly stared at Lin Zaozao and said,

"What? Fatty, do you want to abandon me?"

"No, I don't. You're so beautiful, how could I possibly abandon you? Even if you abandon me, I would never abandon you!"

"Is that right?"

Facing Xiao Taohua's fierce gaze, Lin Zaozao hurriedly nodded.

"Alright then, Fatty, if you dare to abandon me, even if I can't kill you with poison, I will strangle you, and then I will accompany you in death!"

As Xiao Taohua spoke, there was a hint of choking in his tone.

Listening to Xiao Taohua's words, Lin Zaozao couldn't help but marvel at her own luck. How on earth did she, Lin Zaozao, manage to attract the attention of these handsome and beautiful men?

Could it be that she obtained the script of a female protagonist after transmigrating, and her ultimate goal is to have a harem and gather all the beautiful men in the world?

When that happens, when she truly has so many husbands, how will she enjoy the happiness of embracing handsome men from left to right?

Just as Lin Zaozao was smirking and daydreaming, Xiao Taohua, standing opposite her, saw the lewd expression on her face and instantly knew what she was thinking.

In any case, it couldn't be anything serious, right?

"Fatty, what are you thinking?"

Hearing Xiao Taohua's questioning voice in her ear, Lin Zaozao, who was still immersed in her fantasy, couldn't help but shiver.

Oh my god! She got scared.

She just realized that after she had a handsome man by her side, she would have several suitors overnight!

But now, when she woke up, the only face she saw was Xiao Taohua's fierce-looking face.

And she had to smile and apologize to him, whether she liked it or not.

"Xiao Taohua, the father of my child!"

"Don't change the subject. What were you thinking just now?"

Listening to Xiao Taohua's questioning, Lin Zaozao remained composed and said, "I was thinking, since you all like me so much, how about having a few young men accompany me in bed when I go to sleep? After all, as a qualified wife, I can't favor one over the others. If I hurt one of your hearts, I would feel really sorry!"

"You shameless person!"

"Come on! Xiao Taohua, in this world, who isn't a little shameless? Don't judge people solely by their appearance. Misfortune lasts for ten thousand years."

"Absurd!" Xiao Taohua chuckled.

"Sister, we're not shameless," Lin Wuwu and Lin Wanwan obediently raised their hands.

"You little brats, you haven't even grown all your hair yet! You don't know anything, go away."

Lin Zaozao glared at Lin Wuwu and Lin Wanwan, not mincing her words.

"Sis, we're not either," Lin Zaozao looked at the men who raised their hands, claiming their innocence. She squinted her eyes and deliberately said, "But, what should we do? I, Lin Zaozao, just happen to like looking at handsome men! Not only do I like looking, but I also like touching. Not only touching, but I even..."

Lin Zaozao noticed the fixed gazes of Lin Wuwu, Lin Wanwan, and a puzzled Xiao Liuli. She couldn't bring herself to say the words "liking them in the bridal chamber."

"Enough, going out doesn't mean you won't come back. Just treat it as if you're going on a few months' trip. When the time comes, you can come back. Tomorrow, I still have to provide the cure for the plague-stricken people.

Right now, everything is fine, so let's eat and go to bed early!"

Listening to Lin Zaozao deliberately changing the subject, Murong Hai fell silent for a moment and suddenly stood up, walking towards Lin Zaozao.

"Chubby, tonight I will sleep with you!"

"Oh my! Murong Hai, I've been busy all day today, and I'm exhausted like a dog. Honestly, I have no interest or energy to play with you in bed like a little demon."

"No, Zaozao, I..."

Before Murong Hai could finish speaking, Lin Zaozao pushed him away and walked toward her own room.

Once she returned to her room, Lin Zaozao's face immediately darkened.

She heard what Gushan and Ji Fantian said. It was a matter of life and death for them to go out.

They said they would come back, but who could guarantee that they would definitely return?

She had been with Gushan and the others for so long. Lin Zaozao might have a heart of stone, but she would still have a soft spot.

If she honestly asked herself, was she really just lusting after their bodies?

No, she first met them in this unfamiliar world. Her suitors. Although they had disliked each other at first, they had all come this far. How could she abandon them in their time of need?

But now, the most important thing is that she is just an ordinary village woman with no power or influential connections.

How can she ensure that Gu Shan and the others will return safely three months later?

As Lin Zaozao, who had just finished washing up and lay down, she pinched her slightly deflated belly.

After three months, Lin Zaozao's figure would have already recovered. She wondered if Gu Shan would be delighted to see a brand new her when they returned.

Or perhaps, would they even recognize the slimmed-down Lin Zaozao?

When the snoring sound in the room resounded again, a figure silently approached Lin Zaozao's bedside.

With a complex gaze, he glanced at the sleeping Lin Zaozao, hesitated for a moment, then took off his shoes and lay down beside her.

"Zaozao, don't blame us for leaving. Behind me, I carry the lives of thousands of the Murong Clan.

The fate of the entire Murong Clan now rests on my shoulders. For the sake of justice and reason, I must go back and save them.

Zaozao, when I was twelve years old, I followed my father to the battlefield and suffered countless injuries. I thought that the darkest thing in this world was the bloodshed on the battlefield.

But it was only after the Murong Clan was exiled to a harsh and frigid land under the charge of treason that I realized in this world, it is easier to dodge a bullet than to fend off a hidden arrow.

Zaozao, my younger brother and sister-in-law's youngest child is only two years old. They are too young and cannot endure the harshness of that frigid land for even two years.

Zaozao, I am a general of the Murong Clan and the backbone of the Murong Clan. I must go back to clear the name of the Murong Clan.

And Zaozao, you are not ugly at all. It's just people like me, who live in the gutter, that are ugly. Once I get close to you, I will only drag you into the quagmire of the Murong Clan."

After saying that, Murong Hai paid no attention to the irregular snoring beside him. He turned over and, through the blanket, kissed Lin Zaozao's forehead. He then placed something in her hand before turning around and leaving the room.

After Murong Hai left, Lin Zaozao finally dared to open her eyes. She looked at the object Murong Hai had placed in her hand—it was a small piece of iron. Engraved on the iron piece were the characters "Murong."

Lin Zaozao absentmindedly caressed the small piece of iron. Its edges had been held in someone's hand for a long time, making them rounded.

"Over a thousand people, and I, I will also go back."

Lin Zaozao clenched the piece of iron in her palm, and her eyes instantly welled up with tears.

Murong Hai was a general, so who else besides the person sitting on the highest throne could exile the clan members of a general to a harsh and frigid land?

But she, Lin Zaozao, was just a village woman.

Even though she was a time traveler, before time traveling, she was just an ordinary passerby.

Not to mention going against the empress, even her way of thinking belonged to the carefree and not particularly astute type.

With her current circumstances, how could she possibly save Murong Hai and the others?

"Zaozao, you're still awake!"

As the sudden voice echoed in her ears, Lin Zaozao shivered involuntarily. When she turned around, she saw Little Xibei, disheveled and lying beside her.

"What the hell! Little Xibei, are you a ghost? Did you float through the walls? Otherwise, how come you didn't make a sound when you walked?"

"Don't be startled, Zaozao. If someone finds out that I'm lying on your bed, you'll have to marry me."

"Why did you come here?" Lin Zaozao asked, puzzled.

"No particular reason. I thought you wouldn't be able to sleep tonight because of what happened with Murong Hai and his gang, so I came to accompany you."

"Is that so? Well, thank you then."

Hearing Lin Zaozao's nonchalant tone, Little Xibei leaned his head closer to her and spoke slowly.

"Zaozao, after you cure the people of the plague in Canglan Country tomorrow, when Uncle Zhang comes to pick you up, go with him to Fengshuo Country."

"Why?" Lin Zaozao turned her body and found her mouth directly in front of Little Xibei's.

Their eyes met, and Lin Zaozao winked at Little Xibei, who responded with a smile in his eyes.

Damn it, if Little Xibei doesn't mind, she might as well give him a kiss. It would be a shame not to take advantage of such an opportunity.

Seizing the opportunity, Lin Zaozao reached out and hugged Little Xibei's head, planting a loud kiss on his lips.

After Lin Zaozao pulled away, Little Xibei rubbed his sore lips and teased her.

"Zaozao, a kiss is not about biting someone's lips, let alone biting hard. I feel like you're going to chew off the skin on my lips."

"Well, um, I just don't have much experience! How about... we try again?"

In response to Lin Zaozao's excited gaze, Little Xibei playfully flicked her forehead.

"You little flirt! Enough, Zaozao. I have something important to tell you. If you want to save Murong Hai and Gu Shan, once the plague in Canglan Country is under control, go with Uncle Zhang to Fengshuo Country, understand?"

"Is Fengshuo Country my home?"
