+— Author’s note —-+

Sss, your comments help a lot. It’s because of them that I decided to cram some writing into my schedule. ??

The same goes for Sosogir’s gifts. Thank you.

Bing Shi loved the man in front of her with every fibre of her being. She loved his loyalty. His gentleness and patience. His generosity and humility. She would do anything to protect him, knowing he would do the same to her.

|”My godhood is ingrained like Stinky Bun’s. I don’t have to train hard like before to comprehend it like my special trainings. I won’t die again, I promise.”|

Xuan Mu respected and trusted his wife. If she made a promise, one could be sure as hell that she would keep it. Sometimes she could be a bit forceful, but never more than needed, and often less so.

|You can’t even possess Silvia’s body properly, and you expect me to watch you take on Ying Xiong’s onslaughts?|

|”Dai An will be here to help me. She is super strong.”|

.....

He had already allowed her to jump off a window. How much further did she want to take it this time?

|I don’t give a fuck who is going to help you. Stop making me feel like I’m useless and let me do what I’ve wanted to do my whole life, alright?|

Xuan Mu had been through too much pain seeing her suffer. All he could do was watch as she wasted away, day by day. His powerlessness left him devastated. Even if it killed him, he was going to make sure she was safe from any potential threat.

|”I just want to take over some of your burdens.”|

|It’s not welcomed! We’ve been doing fine without you and survived on our own, so stop thinking that You can just barge in and do what you think is the best for us. I didn’t work my ass off to be seen as a weak wimp by my wife again!|

Bing Shi’s hands gripped the sides of her dress so tightly that her knuckles turned white. Her eyes were wide open, staring straight ahead. She leaned over her husband’s head, inhaling the scent of his hair, “It looks like a brand new daddy. All clean and shiny,” she said, her voice hoarse.

Nodding his head, Ying Xiong created two horns out of daddy’s hair with goofy grins, “Mommy, mommy.” Stinky Bun is going to turn daddy into a buffalo.

Xuan Mu wanted to bang his head against a rock, cursing heavily in his mind. If not even the Stinky Bun’s masterpiece on his head could bring a smile out of her then he was definitely doomed. It was agonizing to watch the flame of love slowly diminish from her eyes.

Dai An gave Xuan Mu a taunting look, |”If you can’t even protect her smile, then I guess you have nothing left to live for.”|

“...” Xuan Mu felt like he might perish right there and then.

Dai An helped Ying Xiong to rinse his body and draped a towel over his head, continuing with his routine.

Meanwhile, Xuan Mu stayed inside the bathtub. The water was still warm, and the steam still rising. He had been in there without moving, and his skin was getting prune and wrinkly, one would mistake it for a white raisin.

While Stinky Bun was sound asleep, Dai An caught Xuan Mu’s gaze on her as he cleaned up the rest of the apartment, “If you think I will be understanding like before, let me salute my middle finger at you.”

Xuan Mu dropped his gaze, feeling like his heart was being stomped upon. Was she still being affected by Stinky Bun? Now, all he could do was stand there and watch helplessly as his beloved trashed him right and left, “At least, you are not ignoring me...?”

“Unfortunately, the only man I’m allowed to love is you,” Dai An left the space, appearing in Silvia’s room.

Silvia had been sleeping peacefully for a long time when she suddenly woke up. She was cold and shivering, and she had a bad headache. She put her hand to her forehead, noting how hot it was. She opened her eyes and looked around; Ezikiel was sleeping by her bed in a sitting position.

She decided to go to the bathroom and wash her face. “What happened to you?” she asked, looking at her reflection in the mirror. She saw a girl with large doe eyes and pale skin. Receiving no response, she went to grab her coat and cane, leaving her dormitory to take a walk.

It was so sudden that Ziek didn’t know how to react. Dai An should be here somewhere but there was no way for him to track down that walking phantom, which meant that she must be hiding inside Silvia.

Silvia couldn’t wait for the morning to come and decided to visit the city. Maybe if she bought a few new dresses, she would feel better, but how could she afford to buy new things without money? She didn’t even have enough to haul a taxi. Going through her contacts on the phone, she dialed a number, “Liam, I need a favor from you.”

Near the entrance, Silvia noticed that Nathaniel and an unfamiliar person in black were standing beside a red pillar, leaning against it as if waiting for something or someone.

Silvia walked over and greeted them, “Nathaniel...is that you? It’s really you. Good evening!” she glanced at the man with dark skin, “Who is this?”

The two men turned their heads to look at her. They both seemed surprised, and they had strange looks on their faces. The man who was leaning against the pillar had very short dark hair. His bottom face was covered, but it was clear that he was not someone to be messed with.

Some baby pics, which inspired me to come up with these Stinky Buns chapters.

I hope you enjoyed them as much as me writing them. ??

There is so much happening at the same time: Bing Shi’s godhood, Xuan Mu’s work, them catching up with the time skip, them taking care of a child, and so on.

I’m afraid that the plot is becoming chaotic like their life and it might upset some readers, but I hope it will give this arc more depth.

In the following chapters, we will return back to the academy. ??
