A Three Inch Adorable Wife Hidden in the Sleeve of the Chu King-Chapter 33

Jiang Xiaoxiao was carried to a small wooden tub to soak in a medicinal bath.

The Shopkeeper instructed that she should soak for at least half an hour, without changing or adding to the bath.

In other words, Jiang Xiaoxiao could soak in the hot medicinal soup for at most the time it takes one incense stick to burn, and after that, even if the medicinal soup got cold, she couldn't get out.

With her current tiny size, Jiang Xiaoxiao didn't take up much space in the bath, so the small tub was placed on a small round stool in her room.

The door was closed tightly, and Xie Xun was waiting outside.

Chen Sixi had chopped some firewood and was listlessly sweeping the courtyard with a broom, occasionally glancing at Xie Xun.

"Brother, when are we eating?" he asked.

He was really too hungry, and the snacks they had at the Baihe Teahouse earlier were not even enough to fill the gaps between his teeth.

Seeing that Xie Xun had no intention of responding to him, Chen Sixi sighed and went to the vegetable garden to weed.

He had nearly pulled all the grass out of the soil before finally seeing Jiang Xiaoxiao emerge from the room.

Fresh from the medicinal bath, Jiang Xiaoxiao's whole body smelled of herbs.

Chen Sixi rubbed his nose, "Master, that medicinal bath you took was really pungent!"

Xie Xun brought a dry towel and dried Jiang Xiaoxiao's hair, then placed a small pad on a stone stool in the courtyard and put her on it to sunbathe.

Jiang Xiaoxiao stretched lazily and comfortably.

Although she was afraid of taking medicinal baths, after each one, her whole body felt like it had been massaged, and it was very comfortable.

Xie Xun went to the kitchen to cook, and called Chen Sixi to help out.

By the time the food was ready, Jiang Xiaoxiao's hair had also dried in the sun.

Xie Xun then moved her to the hall.

He placed her special "small stool" on the table and brought her a tiny spoon made just for her.

Chen Sixi looked at the scene with amazement on his face.

Jiang Xiaoxiao was already small, and the utensils she used and the stool she sat on were so tiny they looked like toys for playing house.

Chen Sixi thought that since the Master was so small, her appetite must also be very small, such that one tiny spoonful of rice would be enough to fill her up.

Until Xie Xun brought over a large plate full of rice.

Chen Sixi stretched out his hand, a little embarrassed, "Brother, you don't need to be so generous."

But then he watched in astonishment as Xie Xun placed the huge plate of rice in front of Jiang Xiaoxiao and added some side dishes.

Jiang Xiaoxiao grabbed her tiny spoon and stuffed a spoonful of rice into her mouth, her little cheeks puffed out.

She ate quickly, and in no time, she had eaten a third of the large plate of white rice.

Chen Sixi: "!!"

Chen Sixi fell into deep self-doubt.

Since meeting these two people, nothing had been normal.

It was unbelievable enough that a living person had shrunk down in size.

But now, who could tell him where all that rice, piled so high on the plate, was being stored after she ate it?

The dazed Chen Sixi dazedly picked up his chopsticks and dazedly put a piece of bamboo shoot in his mouth.

And then he froze.

"Xie Xun, did you cook this dish?"

Even though he had just helped Xie Xun in the kitchen, Chen Sixi found it hard to believe.

They were both men, so why did the dishes made by Xie Xun's hands taste so good?

It made him feel like everything he had eaten in the past decade was like chewing on wax!

Xie Xun ignored the rambling Chen Sixi and instead kept glancing at Jiang Xiaoxiao, and when she had eaten half, he served her a bowl of soup.

After eating and drinking her fill, Jiang Xiaoxiao went back outside to sit on the stone stool and sunbathe.

Chen Sixi squatted beside the stool, staring at Jiang Xiaoxiao with a perplexed expression.

The little creature looked the same as before she ate, her tiny belly not bulging at all.

She had eaten so much, yet there was not a single change!

"Master, are you even human?" Chen Sixi couldn't help but mutter.

Xie Xun's voice came, "It's just that your knowledge is too limited and narrow-minded."

Chen Sixi had originally wanted to pick up Jiang Xiaoxiao and weigh her, but seeing Xie Xun standing nearby, glaring daggers at him, he gave up.

He stood up, "Alright, today has really opened my eyes. I should go home and clear my head!"

Otherwise, if he stayed any longer and saw something else shocking, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to take it and would faint again.

After Chen Sixi left, Xie Xun dragged a stool over and sat beside Jiang Xiaoxiao.

"The first trial only has seven days left, but now there's been an accident, and you won't recover for at least three days. Will you make it in time?" Xie Xun asked.

Jiang Xiaoxiao said, "If there are no more accidents, I can finish the first trial in half a day."

Although Xie Xun didn't go to the cemetery himself, he learned the general situation from Chen Sixi.

The situation at that time must have been very strange.

"I'll go with you next time."

Jiang Xiaoxiao thought that next time, she couldn't go to the cemetery again and would have to choose a different place.

That morning when she went, she found that she couldn't adapt to the heavy yin energy at the cemetery.

In theory, as a cultivator, she shouldn't be afraid of places with heavy yin energy, but she kept feeling that her body wasn't listening to her.

"Do you have an unmarried wife?" Jiang Xiaoxiao looked up at Xie Xun.

Earlier at the Baihe Teahouse, although she had been locked in a cage, she had heard everything they said.

Xie Xun didn't deny it, and his tone was even self-mocking, "As you can see, I've just been left at the altar."

Ye Chan was born on the same year, month, and day as Xie Xun, so she was seventeen this year too.

If she didn't marry at seventeen, she would be called an "old maid."

So Ye Chan's decision to cancel the engagement at this timing could only mean she was going to marry someone else.

And Ye Chan was born with a "phoenix destiny," so it was clear who she would marry.

Jiang Xiaoxiao said, "If you want to marry her, wait until I get to Yanjing City, and I'll help you take her back from Murong Yuan."

Upon hearing this, Xie Xun's expression suddenly darkened.

"Why would you assume I want to marry a woman I've never met?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao didn't understand, "Wasn't that princess betrothed to you from a young age? If something belonging to you was taken away, aren't you angry?"

If it were her possession that was taken, she would definitely grab a kitchen knife and go get it back.

Xie Xun gave a cold laugh, "All that was taken from me was my dragon aura."

In other words, he had never acknowledged Ye Chan as his betrothed.

Jiang Xiaoxiao slept a lot during the day, so she was energized at night and refused to sleep.

Xie Xun usually had a fixed sleeping schedule, and as the time neared, he prepared to go out and lock up and put out the lights.

But just as he left the hall, there was a knock on the courtyard gate.

Xie Xun didn't rush out, because there were four knocks from outside.

Humans knock three times, ghosts knock four.

Four knocks, and the sound was unusual, proving that the visitor wasn't human.
