The villain, Xiao Nanliang, caused the female lead excruciating pain.

The next day, as soon as Su Qi opened his eyes, he felt a gaze staring straight at him.

Turning his head, he saw that Mu Feier had moved a chair and was sitting on the edge of the bed, staring at him intently.

Su Qi blushed unconsciously under her gaze, burying the lower half of his face under the covers, leaving only his watery, timid eyes showing.

"Why are you still here?"

He gets so shy just from my staring, it seems... he really loves me!

Mu Feier's lips curled slightly, but she still maintained a cold demeanor, crossing her arms and saying in a nonchalant tone, "We are husband and wife, and this is my room!"

"Then...this room is for you, I'll go and prepare another room for myself!"

Su Qi made a move to get up, but Mu Feier stood up first, pressed him back onto the bed, narrowed her eyes, and questioned him.

"Su Qi, what are your intentions?"

"what?"

This left Su Qiwen completely bewildered.

Are you trying to harm me?

Su Qi's forehead was filled with question marks, and he felt somewhat uneasy.

Does she know I'm using her?

"Because of Master and your appearance, you are very popular in the Yunmiao Immortal Sect. You married me to deliberately make me hate you. Now the whole sect knows that I have ignored you for three years since we got married, which has made me hated and become the public enemy of the Yunmiao Immortal Sect. What are your true intentions?"

"what??"

Su Qi's forehead was covered in even more question marks.

Holy crap, this woman...

Is it my fault that you've ignored me for three years?

"You first tried to get a divorce from me, and now you want to separate from me. If word gets out, how can I stand in the Cloud Mist Immortal Sect? You must be deliberately trying to harm me and make me lose the support of the people. How vicious you are!"

"what???"

Su Qi's expression was even more bewildered, filled with disbelief, as if to say, "Are you even being reasonable?"

But he already had a guess in his heart what trick this woman was going to play.

"I won't let your evil scheme succeed. From today onwards, I'll keep you by my side and let everyone see how much we love each other. Then the rumors will fall apart on their own."

Tsk tsk tsk, what a tsundere.

If you want to develop a relationship with me, just say so. Why make up an excuse to stay?

However, Su Qi saw through it but didn't say anything, instead pretending to be flustered and trying to explain.

"I do not have……"

"You don't need to explain anymore. I won't believe you no matter what you say. Anyway, starting today, we're living together. In front of outsiders, you have to pretend to be a loving couple, or else..."

Mu Feier didn't continue speaking, but instead sneered and patted Su Qi's face.

"I...I understand." Su Qi looked aggrieved, his eyes welling up with tears again, looking pitiful, weak, and helpless.

As for my feelings, I can't describe how happy I was.

Mu Feier thought she knew everything, that Su Qi didn't know she knew everything, and considered herself superior to Su Qi.

Little did they know that Su Qi was actually in the atmosphere.

Everything she knew was deliberately revealed to her by Su Qi.

In summary: The cunning fox disguises itself as prey to approach the overconfident hunter.

Mufi sat back down in her chair, seemingly lost in thought.

Su Qi lay on the bed with half his face covered by the blanket, not daring to move.

The two remained in this state for a long time, when suddenly a gurgling sound reached Mu Fei'er's ears.

She was stunned for a moment, looking at Su Qi with some disbelief.

"No way, you've been cultivating for so long and you still haven't abstained from grains?"

Su Qi blushed and shrank her head even further inside, saying in a muffled, somewhat embarrassed voice, "I love eating delicious food, and I can't resist it halfway through each fast..."

It is common knowledge that practitioners should fast.

However, the reason is not that common foods contain impurities that would hinder spiritual practice.

This is a world of cultivation, a world filled with spiritual energy. Plants and animals that grow up in this environment are full of spirituality and may even have the potential to awaken their senses.

Even if there are impurities, removing them is a simple matter of technique.

The reason why practitioners need to fast is because they often need to go into seclusion, which can last from a few days to several decades or even hundreds of years. The higher their cultivation level, the longer the seclusion will be.

If you don't fast in this situation, you'll have to spend time eating every day, which is a huge waste of time.

Insights don't give you time to eat; if you interrupt them even for a moment, all your insights will be lost, and all your efforts will be in vain.

"No wonder you've cultivated for so many years and are still only at the Foundation Establishment stage. Doesn't your master care about you?" Mu Feier was speechless and had already begun to think about how to force Su Qi to abstain from grains.

“My mother… also likes to eat it…”

Su Qi weakly explained.

Mu Fei'er was stunned. So this was a case of the upper beam being crooked and the lower beam being crooked as well.

"No, you have to fast. I don't have time to cook for you!"

His harsh tone was full of disdain.

“Actually… I can do it myself.” Su Qi seemed very reluctant to fast.

Of course, this was an act; the original owner had already abstained from grains.

"No, I didn't care about you before, but now that you're my husband, you have to be ambitious and can't continue to indulge in your appetite!"

Gululu...

Su Qi's stomach was the first to protest. Her two large, watery eyes were filled with rejection.

"But... I'm so hungry."

The slight upward inflection at the end of the note gives the impression of playful teasing, subtly seeping into one's heart and softening their emotions.

Its pitiful expression resembled that of a hungry stray kitten shivering in the cold wind.

Mu Fei'er's heart skipped a beat, and a small figure appeared beside her head, shouting wildly.

Let him give birth!

No, wait, that's not right.

It should be... let him eat! Let him eat!! Let him eat!!!

"Then give him a fasting pill!" Mu Feier forced herself to look away from his pitiful appearance, took out a bottle of fasting pills from her storage ring, and threw it over to him.

"But this is so bitter and hard to eat."

Su Qi looked distressed and didn't catch it, letting Ren Rou's Bigu Pill fall onto the bed. He stretched out a soft hand from under the covers, like a mischievous cat, and tentatively pushed the bottle containing the Bigu Pill toward the edge of the bed.

They naively thought that as long as they pushed the bottle out and smashed it, they wouldn't have to eat this stuff anymore.

This kind of sneaky and mischievous behavior amused Mu Feier, who almost couldn't help but laugh out loud.

However, she held back, only slightly curving her lips before speaking with a cold expression.

"If it breaks, I'll stuff the shards and all into your mouth!"

Su Qi paused, no longer daring to push the food away, but showed no intention of eating it either.

He just stood there with a bitter face, his eyes unfocused, looking like he had no will to live.

Mu Feier felt a pang of pity seeing this.

I need to reflect on whether I was too cruel.

Or... let him have one last meal, and then start fasting after the next meal?

Just as Mu Feier hesitated, Su Qi's unfocused eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had thought of something.

He looked at Mu Feier, about to speak, but when he met her sharp eyes, he became timid.

After hesitating for a while, his stomach growled again, and he finally mustered up his courage and pretended to be angry before speaking.

"Mu Feier, you don't want others to know that you're starving your husband, do you?"
