Chapter 174: Chapter 174: Xuan Jiu’s Words Can’t Be Trusted (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Votes)

In Xiao Jinsheng’s home, it was inevitably more chaotic due to the increasing number of residents.

All the bedrooms were on the second floor. Besides Xiao Jinsheng’s own room, there were ten other rooms left.

The seven Beast Husbands each occupied one room, leaving three rooms available.

Yu Yunxiao’s disdainful decision had left one room unoccupied.

Chen Yunji borrowed one room, and now Xuan Jiu wanted to borrow another.

Not only did he want to borrow a room, but he also coughed every two steps and let out heavy breaths every three—catching Xiao Jinsheng’s attention frequently.

Concerned, she kept asking, "Let me use my Healing Element to ease your symptoms again."

"Thank you so much!" Xuan Jiu said, thrilled, as he extended his hand to Xiao Jinsheng. "Every time you use your Healing Element superpower on me, I truly feel much better."

"If you’re feeling so much better, then why are you coughing every half hour?" Mo Jiao, who had been suppressing her irritation since sunrise, finally let her words fly once the day turned to night.

Unable to hold back any longer, she sneered, "What is it? Are you implying her treatment wasn’t effective?"

"Of course not. It’s just that my body is really weak," Xuan Jiu explained sincerely.

His face was full of earnestness. "Maybe it’s because I stayed on the snowy mountains for too long."

"Or perhaps it’s this apocalyptic environment. Regular people without Star Stone powers find it hard to adapt."

"But don’t worry, I won’t freeload at your house for nothing."

Saying this, Xuan Jiu walked toward the kitchen and declared confidently, "I’m actually a god of cooking. From now on, I’ll handle all your meals, day in and day out!"

"Get out." Chen Yunji flashed into position, blocking Xuan Jiu’s entry into the kitchen.

"Chen Yunji, you’re too much," Xuan Jiu complained, shaking his head and sighing. "You’re a borrower too, yet you sit around every day, waiting for food to be served to you without even helping to wash vegetables or prep food!"

With biting sarcasm, Xuan Jiu continued, "Chen Yunji, how is it that I’ve never realized how shameless you were before?"

Chen Yunji remained stony-faced, replying flatly, "I take care of washing dishes and sweeping the floors. I’m on a schedule."

"Schedule? What schedule?" Xuan Jiu asked, intrigued.

Looking animatedly at everyone, he raised his hand and pointed at himself, grinning brightly, "A schedule, huh? Sounds fun! Count me in!"
