Suppressing the Protagonist at the Start to Seize the Heroine

Chapter 180: The Truth Session, Impulsive Punishments!

Jiuyue thought Su Lin would start a conversation with her, but instead, he just sat beside her, staring straight at her without uttering a word. Finally, she couldn’t help but turn around and face him; “Why aren’t you saying anything?”

Su Lin spread his hands: “What do you want me to say?”

“You… Hmph… Do you not want to take responsibility?” Jiuyue widened her eyes.

“When did I ever not take responsibility? Didn’t I just ask you to call me husband?” Su Lin looked wronged, not knowing what Jiuyue really wanted, and could only blankly stare at her.

Jiuyue pulled Su Lin’s arm, making him lie down, then whispered, “You taught Xiaowan and Xiaoyu cultivation, right? I… I’m yours now, why didn’t you mention teaching me?”

Su Lin slapped his forehead; “Xiaoyue, you didn’t do this on purpose today, did you?”

Jiuyue’s face showed annoyance as she twisted the soft flesh around Su Lin’s waist; “Who did it on purpose? Who did it on purpose? I wasn’t even thinking about learning martial arts, Su Lin, don’t falsely accuse people.”

“Ha ha ha~! Alright, alright, I’m not accusing you. So, you really want to learn?”

Jiuyue leaned against Su Lin and said, “Su Lin, if I’m not capable, grandfather will surely send me off for a political marriage. I understand all that business stuff, but I don’t want to do business.

“I want to learn martial arts, to leap over walls and roofs, just like you. If I also become a master or grandmaster, then grandfather won’t be able to keep me confined.”

Su Lin rubbed Jiuyue’s head, feeling a bit sorry for her. Although Jiuyue was pampered by Qin Deshu and Qin Delin from a young age, she also lost her freedom.

She lived under their arrangements all her life, so Jiuyue craved freedom very much. That’s why she was very interested in Su Lin’s martial arts.

“As for whether I did it on purpose, of course, I did. If I, Jiuyue, didn’t care for you, would I let you bully me?” Jiuyue’s face blushed after saying this. Normally, it should be her bullying Su Lin.

Thinking this, she buried her face again.

Su Lin said with a laugh, “Xiaoyue, to tell the truth, I’ve already prepared your cultivation method. I just didn’t have a reason to give it to you until now.”

Saying this, Su Lin took out the jade pendant Li Ziyu had left with him, which contained the second needle technique of the Taiyi Divine Needles. This technique was very suitable for Jiuyue, which is why he hadn’t used it until now.

“Really? Su Lin, you’re not lying to me?”

Su Lin nodded: “Still calling me Su Lin?”

“Husband~! You’re not lying to me, right?”

Hearing Jiuyue’s sweet voice, Su Lin felt his heart warm up again. He quickly suppressed his heart’s turmoil, nodding, “Of course, why would I lie to you?”

“However, you can’t start practicing this technique right now. Rest today, and I’ll give it to you tomorrow.”

Jiuyue nodded: “Okay~!”

She wanted to hug Su Lin to express her happiness, but suddenly realized she wasn’t wearing clothes and hurriedly said, “I’ll get dressed first.”

Su Lin nodded: “Do I need to look away?”

Jiuyue gave a bright smile and then shook her head. Su Lin watched as she took the clothes and hid under the blankets to dress.

“Xiaoyue, do you always dress like this?” Su Lin asked in astonishment.

Jiuyue emerged from under the blankets: “How about that, didn’t see anything, are you disappointed?”

Su Lin chuckled: “Why would I be disappointed? I saw enough just now.”

Jiuyue’s face turned dark: “Don’t mention what happened just now anymore. Now Li Ziyu is going to be upset, hehe, later she’ll have to call me sister.”

“Hehe…then wouldn’t you have to call Xiaowan and the others sister?” Su Lin teased.

Jiuyue seriously said, “Of course not, they are younger than me, so naturally, they should call me sister. This isn’t an official setting where seniority matters, right?”

“And what about Ziyu?”

“Li Ziyu is still at the auction house. Moreover, she met you after me… eh… wait, Li Ziyu isn’t anything now, why should she call me sister?”

After saying this, Jiuyue twisted Su Lin again: “Alright, you really know how to look out for yourself, Su Lin, how can you be so greedy?”

Su Lin hurriedly said, “You’re the one who brought it up, what does it have to do with me?”

“Don’t you think so in your heart?”

“Uh…”

“See, you hesitated, hesitation means it’s true, heh! Men.”

Su Lin: “…”

Watching Su Lin’s dumbfounded look, Jiuyue’s lips curled up into a smile. Her acting had improved again, this time even Su Lin was fooled by her. As the two sat in silence, the sound of opening doors and voices came from downstairs.

Jiuyue’s face changed dramatically, then quickly buried her head under the blankets: “Su Lin, you scoundrel, why did you call them back? Tell them I’m sleeping you go and explain to them.”

After saying that, Jiuyue covered herself with the blanket, turning her head to feign sleep, her breathing slowly becoming steady.

“I’m off… Your acting skills are too good, could even go for an Oscar.”

Jiuyue: “…”

Seeing Jiuyue pretending to be motionless, Su Lin was utterly convinced by her acting prowess. He dressed himself, then headed downstairs, opening the door.

“Su Lin… we’re back, are you at home?”

Hearing Lin Xiaowan’s call, Su Lin responded, “I’m here, I’m here, I’ll be right down.”

Then the three ladies saw Su Lin, wearing a shirt, coming down the stairs. All three women had keen eyesight and quickly noticed the lipstick on Su Lin’s lips and the scratch marks on his arm.

They looked at each other, recognizing such marks all too well.

“Su Lin… you…”

Su Lin cut off Lin Xiaowan’s words, “Sit down, I need to talk to you about something.”

After sitting on the couch, the ladies, though somewhat disappointed, still looked at him. Clearly, they wanted an explanation or an excuse to deceive themselves.

At this moment, they were like this, as long as Su Lin gave them a satisfactory explanation, they wouldn’t get angry at him.

Su Lin sighed in his heart, looking at them, he knew he really couldn’t just casually fall for someone else again, thinking about these three faces felt like committing a crime.

He started treating this world as a mere side quest, himself as a passerby, but now, deeply immersed, he couldn’t extricate himself, especially towards his women; they were not just NPCs, but real, flesh-and-blood people.

He could no longer act as freely as before, collecting girls and starting a harem.

“The thing is, Xiaoyue was poisoned by Jiao poison, that is, the poison from that Jiao Dan earlier. This poison is very potent to someone like Xiaoyue, who hasn’t practiced cultivation. It has a very strong aphrodisiac effect…”

With Su Lin’s explanation, they found out the woman upstairs was Jiuyue. Lin Xiaowan and the others finally understood why Su Lin ran so fast and why he hurriedly called them back.

“That’s the whole story. However, I admit, even without this incident, it would have ended up the same way, just would have taken a bit longer.”

Lin Xiaowan said, “Although it’s understandable, I still need to punish you. Otherwise, if you bring home a woman every day, do we have to accept one every day?”

Zhao Yanyan and Shiyu nodded.

“See, even Xiaoyu agrees, it’s the general consensus.”

Su Lin touched his nose, wondering what Lin Xiaowan was going to say.

“We’ve discussed it before, if you… if you like another woman in the future, you have to pass our approval first. Otherwise, you can never bring her home, and we won’t acknowledge her.” Lin Xiaowan looked at Su Lin, waiting for his response.

Su Lin nodded, “No problem, I can completely accept that.”

It seems they had discussed it already, and Su Lin was very supportive of it. He wasn’t someone who fell for every other girl. In the novel “Miracle Doctor’s Adventures in the City,” there were no less than fifty female characters, many with good temperaments, backgrounds, and abilities, but Su Lin wasn’t moved by them.

“Then comes the punishment.”

Lin Xiaowan’s eyes twirled, then she said, “Punish you to cook for three days… no… a week. If it’s too long, you wouldn’t like it, a week should be okay.”

After Lin Xiaowan looked at Su Lin somewhat eagerly, it didn’t seem like a punishment but more like she hoped Su Lin would agree.

“Okay, no problem!!”

Zhao Yanyan then said, “Then I’ll add another week, Su Lin, is that okay?”

Su Lin regretfully said, “I should have never told you guys I can cook.”

“Hehe, it’s your fault for exposing it, who told you to cook so deliciously.” Lin Xiaowan said cheerfully.

“Fine, that’s not a problem either.”

The three turned to Shiyu, who pinched her clothes, then said, “Then I’ll punish him to wash the dishes, Su Lin can cook and wash the dishes.”

“This… can we change it to something else, even washing clothes is okay.” Su Lin said with a headache.

Men can cook, but washing dishes was a line.

Lin Xiaowan, seeing Shiyu about to relent, held her firmly and said, “No, this is it, Su Lin, just say if you agree or not.”

“Agreed, agreed, is that okay?” Su Lin said somewhat indulgently.

Shiyu’s personality was more gentle, and Lin Xiaowan was slightly more assertive, but not excessively so, which was something Su Lin quite liked.

It’s just washing dishes, could he not do it? If not, he could always get back at them in the evening. Lin Xiaowan saw Su Lin’s gleaming eyes and shrank a bit guiltily. That look didn’t seem like he was planning anything good.
