Chapter 97 What do you know?
The system was a little confused. Just a few days ago, she was rushing on her way, but now that she had finally arrived, she was no longer in a hurry. Given the boy's affection for the host, he would not hesitate to take her to his mansion or even buy her a house.
"What do you know? His mansion is his. Even if he likes me a lot, it's still his. If I move in, wouldn't that prove that he has the upper hand? How am I supposed to be a bride every night and a groom every day?"
I'm not the kind of woman who'd hang herself on one tree. I have a grand ideal: to give all the handsome men in the world a home. Besides, I'm with Ruohan right now. You want me to take him to live at Moxuan's house? That's suicide!
"I haven't figured out a way to get them to get along peacefully without fighting. So let's not rush it, let me take my time, and I'll go find him once I've figured it out!" Lu Jinyan's nonchalant attitude left the system speechless.
What kind of talk is this, "changing grooms every day and becoming a bride every night"? What kind of lewd talk is this? How come she never noticed her host was like this before... shameless?
Lu Jinyan didn't care at all about the system's disdain. She was determined to become a female ruler with many husbands, so she couldn't live in Mo Xuan's house, nor could she accept Mo Xuan's house. Just kidding, having a man buy you a house and then moving in with another man is a bit too much.
Once she finds a suitable place to settle down, she'll buy a big house with her own money and let all the handsome men live there. Just thinking about it makes her very happy. She's rich; although she can't be described as incredibly wealthy, she's not bad either.
Any small portion of the items in that space could be sold for a fortune. So she's not short of money!
"Host, aren't you afraid he'll run off with someone else? He's the son of the Demon King, so he's naturally not short of women. Besides, you've been separated for quite some time now!" the system asked, somewhat puzzled.
"So what if he ran away? Anyway, it's only a matter of two points of favorability, which is just two Mandarin Duck Stones. If he can't resist the temptation and runs away with someone else, then it can only prove that he wasn't sincere with me. He was so easily seduced by other women. There's no point in keeping him around."
A person who truly loves you will reject all external temptations for you, and will see no other woman but you. If they change their mind so easily, then it's not true love!
Lu Jinyan crossed her legs and swung her little feet, looking very impressive. Little did people know that she had never been in a relationship; she had only learned about it from novels.
"But host, Mo Xuan is a snake, and snakes are inherently lustful. Moreover, according to what you're saying, your feelings for Mo Xuan aren't true love, because you've already fallen for Ruo Han!"
The system wagged its fluffy tail and looked at its host with disdain. What a scumbag!
"I'm different. I was going to marry a lot of handsome men anyway. I never said from the beginning that I only wanted him! I won't do the stupid thing of giving up a whole forest for one tree. Let whoever wants to do it do it!"
Just kidding. She finally became beautiful and rich, and she doesn't have to be a beast of burden anymore, so naturally she wants to have a passionate romance. In her past life, she never even touched a man's hand, so she has to make up for it by dating a few more in this life.
Besides, here, it's legal for men to have multiple wives and concubines, and for women to have multiple husbands; all of that is legal and protected by law. So why would she hang herself on one tree?
I love you, but I also love other people. If you can accept that, then we can be a loving family. If you can't accept that, then I'll let you go and set you free. We won't force you into this relationship; let's have freedom in our love, okay?
"Hmm, as expected of the host!" The system was speechless. Her host was a scumbag, no doubt about it. And to make matters worse, she had a bunch of grand principles to preach!
"Only officials are allowed to set fires, while common people are not allowed to light lamps"—that's a perfect description of her, isn't it?
The system suddenly started to feel sorry for the men she had won over.
Lu Jinyan didn't know what the system was thinking, nor did she care. In any case, she had finally been able to live as she pleased, so naturally she wanted to live happily and freely. She wouldn't do anything that made her feel wronged!
Lu Jinyan slept soundly and woke up the next day to find that Liu Xu and the others had already prepared breakfast and were now cleaning up the yard left over from yesterday. Lu Jinyan felt a little sorry for the two of them, as they had to take care of her and Chu Chu, clean, and cook, which must have been quite tiring for them.
So she immediately decided to buy a few more people to clean and cook, and also pick out a demon slave for Ruohan and Lin Churan, since they were both alone and had no one to take care of them.
Without further ado, after breakfast, Lu Jinyan took Liu Xu, Lin Churan, and Ruohan out to the demon slave market, while Chuchu stayed at home with Liu Qing, Yuan Yi, and Du Che to tidy up the small items left over from yesterday.
Lu Jinyan originally planned to bring Chu Chu along, but the girl said she wanted to stay home to help with the tidying up, so Lu Jinyan let her have her way.
Having just arrived, Lu Jinyan didn't know where the demon slave market in Ruoshui City was, so she led a group of people to the inn to find Furong and asked her to take her to the demon slave market to pick out some demon slaves.
"Sister-in-law Furong!" Lu Jinyan saw Furong busy at the counter as soon as she entered the door.
"Hey, Lu girl, you're here? Is the new house tidying up going well? Is there anything I can help you with?" When Furong saw Lu Jinyan arrive, she immediately put down what she was doing and came out.
"Thank you for your concern, Sister-in-law Furong. Everything is going well. Please come to our house for dinner tomorrow with Brother Muliang. I came today because I have something I would like to ask you, Sister-in-law Furong." Lu Jinyan smiled and stepped forward to take Furong's arm.
"Hey, don't bother with all this trouble. Since you call me sister-in-law, then you're my sister. And if we're sisters, then we're family. Family doesn't need such formalities. So, what's up?"
Hearing Lu Jinyan calling her "sister-in-law" repeatedly, Furong was overjoyed, thinking to herself that her parents hadn't misjudged her; this girl was just so lovable.
“Since that’s the case, then I won’t stand on ceremony. Here’s the thing, I just moved to a new house, and it’s quite big. It’s a bit difficult for Liu Xu and Liu Qing to clean it all by themselves, so I’m thinking of going to the demon slave market to buy two more demon slaves to be in charge of cleaning. That way, it will be easier for Liu Xu and the others.” Lu Jinyan told her the truth.
Furong smiled, her eyes crinkling: "You little rascal, you really care about people. No problem, wait for me a moment, I'll go tell your brother Muliang."
