After marriage, Xu Xuancao finally realized how restrained and suppressed Bai Sijin had been in his desire for her.

It turned out that as long as the restrictions were lifted, he could exhaust her completely, leaving her unable to even stand.

When she was hungry, he would feed her bite by bite. When she was tired, they would embrace each other naked and sleep. When they were well-rested, they would entwine and unite.

For three whole days and nights, Xu Xuancao could finally get out of bed and leave the room, leaning against him and breathing in the fresh, moist air after the rain.

She no longer resisted this relationship and wished to be glued to Bai Sijin at all times.

Baoshun Hall was the best pharmacy in Lin’an Prefecture. Bai Sijin was a busy man, with many people seeking him to treat difficult and miscellaneous illnesses.

Xu Xuancao stood by and watched him diagnose patients, learning how to use a balance to measure medicine from the shopkeeper.

Even when Bai Sijin was busiest, his gaze always fell on her with a smile in his eyes.

As evening approached, the pharmacy was about to close.

Xu Xuancao had been wandering around all day, exploring every nook and cranny of the pharmacy, making herself covered in sweat.

Bai Sijin took out a silk handkerchief and wiped her sweat away. “Are you tired?”

Xu Xuancao replied, “It’s fine, it’s fine. I’m also busy with the affairs of our sect.”

“The boss’s wife, have a cup of tea.” The shopkeeper handed her a water glass with a smile.

Hearing this address, Xu Xuancao felt ticklish in her heart. She took the glass and, after the shopkeeper walked away, whispered, “In the future, besides the sect’s affairs, I also want to help you manage the pharmacy.”

“Okay.” Bai Sijin’s smile revealed indulgence as he rubbed her nose. “But I won’t allow you to exhaust yourself.”

After closing the shop, the shop assistants hurriedly packed up their things and rushed home one by one.

The two of them were the last to leave. Xu Xuancao waited for Bai Sijin to lock the door when she suddenly heard a faint call from a corner of the wall.

“Doctor Bai, please help me.”

Xu Xuancao caught a faint trace of demonic energy and swiftly approached the wall, reaching out to capture the dusty figure hiding in the corner.

“Sizzle, sizzle…”

Opening her palm, Xu Xuancao discovered a small, fluffy, greyish-white hamster. However, it emitted a mixed aroma of grains, clearly indicating that it was a spirit-transformed mouse.

Xu Xuancao originally wanted to get rid of it directly, but seeing its silly and cute appearance, she suddenly found it difficult to act.

Moreover, it was really weak…

Bai Sijin looked at the round belly of the little hamster and couldn’t help but laugh, “Are you stuffed?”

The little hamster had no self-awareness of being in danger and held its belly while shedding tears, “My stomach is so bloated, and I can’t even vomit it out…”

It turned out that it had stolen grain and accidentally stuffed itself. Judging by the chubby cheeks, there was still quite a bit of inventory inside.

Why did this little monster specifically seek out Bai Sijin and put on a familiar look?

Xu Xuancao looked at Bai Sijin in astonishment, as if she didn’t recognize him, “Do monsters often come to you for treatment?”

Bai Sijin calmly replied, “Regardless of whether they are humans or monsters, I do my best to heal them.”

Xu Xuancao found it hard to understand, “But there is a difference between humans and monsters, they can harm you!”

The little hamster, being squeezed in her hand, became frightened and fell silent.

Bai Sijin said, “Humans have good and evil, and there are also benevolent beings among monsters.”

Xu Xuancao shook her head, “Monsters should all die!”

Having witnessed the harm caused by monsters, the cruel and bloody acts made her nauseous. From then on, she had no fondness for monsters and wished to eliminate all the evil in the world.

Even if there were one or two kind-hearted monsters, she couldn’t let her guard down. Because evil monsters often disguised themselves as good people, causing destruction and death, which was a common occurrence.

Bai Sijin pursed his lips and remained silent, gazing at the setting sun descending from the eaves, his pupils tinged with crimson by the evening glow.

The little hamster trembled, “I-I-I… I just stole some rice… I’ll give it back to you… please, don’t… don’t kill me…”

Xu Xuancao stared at it for a while, then put it into her storage bag and reprimanded it from behind.

Returning to the mansion, Xu Xuancao released the hamster and confined it in a small cage.

Aqing snatched the cage excitedly and exclaimed, “Wow, a little mouse!”

The hamster bounced around in the cage like a rolling ball, pleading, “Sizzle, sizzle… help me…”

Xu Xuancao said, “You’re not allowed to harm it.”

Aqing poked some grass through the gaps in the cage and chuckled, “I’m just playing with it.”

The little hamster was poked by him, causing it to curl up into a round ball.

Xu Xuancao didn’t want to pay attention to him and walked alone on the corridor, gazing at the white figure in the pavilion at the other end, feeling absent-minded.

She faintly felt that he seemed a little displeased.

Why?

Could someone with such a good temper also get angry?
