Sikong Mo sat on the ground, legs crossed, cultivating his martial arts, while Ye Jiu pulled over an animal hide and lay beside Furry Ball. However, Furry Ball slept throughout, while Ye Jiu was engrossed in reading a novel.
"My Princess Consort is Wealthier Than a Nation," a rags-to-riches tale complete with a powerful Golden Finger, was especially interesting due to the female protagonist’s background, which was practically the same as the script she had. Ye Jiu flipped through the pages while snacking, utterly absorbed.
In her world, there had never been a moment of such relaxation.
So, she decided to take advantage of this opportunity and thoroughly enjoy it.
From time to time, Ye Jiu would check her watch. On the fourth day, Sikong Mo finally converted the warm current within his body entirely to his own use. After he had healed his body, the excess energy was channeled into his Inner Strength, enabling his martial arts, which hadn’t progressed for several years due to the Poisonous Insect Poison, to advance by leaps and bounds suddenly.
If those people knew that this assassination attempt would bring him such an opportunity, they would probably regret it to the point of turning green with envy.
When Sikong Mo stood up, Ye Jiu hadn’t noticed yet; she was still immersed in the happiness brought to her by the soap opera.
Looking at her, Sikong Mo laughed like a little fool every now and then, drooling over the people inside that rectangular frame occasionally.
Ye Jiu held in her hands a silver-white rectangular object, which he’d heard her mention once, calling it a "tablet" or something.
Apparently, it was an object from another world.
The people inside were not real but recorded and stored there by someone else.
No matter how clever Sikong Mo was, he couldn’t understand the principles behind it, but seeing how happily Ye Jiu embraced it, he no longer worried that the people inside might suddenly jump out.
Standing behind Ye Jiu, he watched for a while. The people on the screen would cry as if they had just lost their parents, and a moment later, they would laugh as if they were incredibly carefree.
Especially when a fairly good-looking man appeared, Ye Jiu’s eyes instantly shone with excitement; she lay there, her little legs kicking cheerfully up in the air, her face filled with an "I like him" expression.
Sikong Mo was displeased.
He squatted down, snatched the tablet from her hands, and covered it with his body on the ground.
After that, Ye Jiu could only hear the sound without seeing the image as she turned her head and accusatorily asked, "What are you doing?"
"This is not good, not suitable for you," Sikong Mo bluntly stated.
"How is it not good? This is something Luo Ranran specially arranged for me to pass the time. Don’t you find this object miraculous?" Ye Jiu said in a tempting tone to Sikong Mo.
It was really strange behavior for a guy from ancient times; wouldn’t he be curious about a high-tech item from the present and want to explore it?
Yet he could tell her with a straight face that this thing was no good!
Sikong Mo was conflicted but soothingly stroked Ye Jiu’s head, "Behave, stop watching, or you might end up damaging your brain!"
Sikong Mo couldn’t understand why Ye Jiu liked watching such things.
He could accept the monogamy practiced in the world inside the screen, after all, he couldn’t care for or even like any woman other than Ye Jiu, and he certainly had no intention of making his life miserable by taking in so many women.
However, as a man with a fiancée, he should fulfill his responsibilities. Yet, the man in this "tablet," at his own engagement ceremony, was fooling around with another woman and even ended up ditching his fiancée at the banquet for this other woman, making his innocent fiancée a laughingstock and using true love as an excuse, which was simply absurd.
