After The Breakup, I Became The Marshal’s Wife

 

Chapter 1

 

It was early spring. The weather was still chilly. Shi Nian stood by a large pond in a wet single coat, staring blankly at the person in front of him.

“Shi Nian, we’re over. Don’t come near me again! ”

Shi Nian asked himself, who does he think he is?

Shi Nian was originally a little phoenix in the cultivation world, the group pet of the entire demon clan. As a result, when he was young and did not know any better, he was tricked out of the enchantment by a demon cultivator who wanted to renew his life by consuming Shi Nian’s heart and blood.

Just as he was about to die, he was lucky enough to meet a man called Bai Xiaoya, who was carrying a secret treasure that led to a dungeon trial. He relied on this to slowly maintain his life and heal. It took him a whole decade to finally restore his heart and replenish his blood.

But in the end, it was not like the old days, and he was unable to take on human form.

The reason why he is here today in this world is that this body was very important to the timeline, but it was lost due to an accident.

He met a heavenly Dao, and the two sides clicked right away, because one needed someone to take over this body and the other lacked a human body.

After a three-way exchange between him, the Heaven’s Dao, and Bai Xiaoya, he was thrown into this era after his consent.

The original owner of this body was also called Shi Nian, but his surname was Shi, unlike him, who had forgotten his name as a child, and Shi Nian was just a homonym of his ten years of struggle for survival in the dungeons and also the ten years he used to get his life back.

But the original Shi Nian’s luck was no better than his, Shi Nian thought after receiving the memories of the original owner.

There was a big, living scumbag standing right in front of him.

The scumbag, Ji Yiqing, had a white moonlight in his heart, but because of his status, he was unattainable, so he found the original owner, who looked similar, as a substitute.

When he initially chased after the person, he kept sending flowers and had a very good attitude. Because of this, the original owner assumed that the other party, an A-grade sentinel and a popular figure within the school, genuinely liked him and thus agreed to be with him.

But a scumbag is worthy of being a scumbag. After attracting the original owner, he became less attentive, and later became more and more perfunctory. Until recently, Ji Yiqing advanced for a second time, and his spiritual power changed from A to a rare S grade.

In an instant, his popularity exploded. And the white moonlight was certainly willing to look back at him.

So, today he asked the original owner to break up. Because the original owner was too shocked for a moment to speak, it made Ji Yiqing’s friends unhappy, and they pushed him into the pool, leading to his accidental death.

At that moment, the body was wet and simply uncomfortable.

However, the people around Ji Yiqing saw that he was not moving, and immediately began to speak:

“You’ve been warned, don’t even stalk him. Do you look at the gap between the two of you? Do you deserve him? ”

It’s just that you look a little like Bai Zihan, and with your qualifications, you wouldn’t even be qualified to be a substitute.

This group was all Ji Yiqing’s friends. In summary, they were a group of incompetent goods.

In the past, they had mocked the original owner, but the scumbag had always said that they were not bad people and advised the original owner not to bother with his friends, so the original owner put up with it, though he couldn’t understand why, if Ji Yiqing really cared about him, he would allow his friends to badmouth him repeatedly?

At that moment, the original owner was gone, and Shi Nian was not a good-natured person. Seeing them still talking non-stop, he couldn’t help but sneer: “Yo, those who don’t know would think that I was the one pestering him and not letting go. I wonder who was chasing after me constantly before. ”

The other side obviously didn’t expect him to say that out of the blue, and they all froze.

But this was indeed true.

He added, “If you hadn’t been so affectionate towards me, I wouldn’t have been able to even look at you.”

This was an overstatement. Ji Yiqing’s appearance was not the best in the world, but it was definitely not unsightly either. Not to mention now, even in the past, he was still an A-ranked sentry. Wasn’t it enough to match a D-ranked guide like Shi Nian?

But right now, as the crowd watched, it seemed that Shi Nian really felt that way.

“You don’t think I’m worthy? If you had said you were looking for a substitute, who would have played along with you? Do you think everyone else is brain dead, or do you think you’re just a male god?”

What the fuck?

“Get lost!”

After saying that, Shi Nian kicked over and kicked Ji Yiqing directly into the fish pond next to him.

Everything else was fine, but he had to get revenge for making him fall into the water.

Do feathers feel good when they get wet? No.

As a phoenix, Shi Nian is also considered a bird, and there are a few of the winged clan who like to dive into water.

He was a fire phoenix and not a goose.

After kicking the man, Shi Nian turned around and left, amidst the panicked voices of the other group.

He had to change his clothes and wipe the water off his body as well. Even though he was now in a human body, he always felt uncomfortable, as if the feathers were sticking to his body.

As a result, just as he left the big fish pond, he saw a flying machine parked in front of him.

From it came a man standing upright, and when he saw Shi Nian, he came over and said, “Shi Nian, right? My master wants to see you.”

When Shi Nian nodded, without saying a word, he got into the craft. The outside of the craft looked small, but the inside was spacious, and at first glance, it appeared to be using a high level of space technology.

This kind of technology was generally only used in warships and mechs, and was rarely used in flying machines. Naturally, such vehicles are also extremely expensive.

But he was a phoenix, after all, and although he had fallen on hard times, he was not surprised by this kind of spatial stuff. Not to mention the fact that he was born with a magic technique like “Qiankun pouch”, there are also many spiritual talismans, formations, and so on that could widen space in the cultivation world.

The man in front of him was a bit surprised by his appearance. He thought that it would take a bit of convincing to get him to follow.

“Aren’t you going to ask who my master is and what he wants from you?” Eventually, he couldn’t resist taking the lead and asked.

Shi Nian: “We’ll find out when we get there.”

After a pause, he asked, “He’s not meeting me at some cafe or something, is he?”

“No.” The man sitting in front said, “An appointment at the villa.”

Their marshal was in a special position; how could he just be out and about?

Shi Nian nodded knowingly, as he naturally knew who it was that wanted to see him. After all, the reason why the original owner was so important to this timeline was not because of Ji Yiqing, that scumbag, but because of Marshal Lu.

Marshal Lu’s full name was Lu Bo Ting, and he was the strongest person in the entire Empire’s galaxy and even in several star systems of the Alliance.

Don’t look at that scum’s mental strength. He had just reached S and felt at the peak of the world. Lu Bo Ting was born an S-rank sentinel, and because his quantum beast was a dragon, his combat power was several times stronger than other S-rank sentinels. Not to mention that Lu Bo Ting’s spiritual power was re-energized during a recent crisis, and he became an unprecedented SS-ranked sentinel.

However, with a sentinel’s high spiritual power, comes quite a few natural after-effects.

The most serious of these was mental collapse, and if there was no suitable guide to soothe the spiritual sea, he would either become a madman, a fool, or simply toss himself to death.

Lu Bo Ting’s mental strength was already unprecedentedly high, and he had been fighting wars for many years. But now he is only in his twenties and is already on the verge of a mental breakdown.

The original Shi Nian was the only one who could help him prolong his life.

Lu Bo Ting’s spiritual power was too high, resulting in no guides who could help him soothe it. But the original Shi Nian’s quantum beast was a canary, and a mutated one at that, capable of positively influencing spiritual power.

This influence was not enough to make Lu Bo Ting’s mental strength better all of a sudden, but it was better than nothing, and would allow him to last a few more years.

The driver in the front seat stepped out of the craft, and although he was not wearing a uniform, he looked more like an adjutant than an assistant. Coupled with the level of this craft, it was already clear as to who wanted to see him.

After all, he had come here because of this matter, so naturally there was no need to be pretentious.

When he heard that it was at the villa, he immediately said, “Please ask someone to buy me some clothes. I need to take a shower first when I get to the villa. ”

The adjutant:”… Okay, fine.”

The flying machine soon arrived at the villa, which should have been one of Marshal Lu’s properties, but in any case, it was not in the Marshal’s mansion. Since this matter could be said to be very big, Lu Bo Ting’s side did not want it to be known by too many people. When he was picked up, it wasn’t even said that the marshal wanted to see him, only that the master requested him.

When Shi Nian got off the flying machine, he walked straight in, stopped a robot, and asked, “Where is the bathroom?”

Robot:”… ”

Oh, this one is not authorized.

So Shi Nian looked at the man sitting on the sofa in the living room and said, “Where is the bathroom?”

Lu Bo Ting: “Upstairs.”

So Shi Nian went upstairs, stopping halfway up the revolving staircase and looking at the adjutant who followed him in behind him.

“Have the robot bring me the clothes when they’re ready.”

Then he went upstairs to take a shower.

Lu Bo Ting and the adjutant were left behind, the former looking at the latter with a very clear meaning.

What’s going on?

The adjutant immediately stood upright but said, “I’m not sure. When I met the person, he was already wet. On the way, he didn’t ask anything; he only asked me where he was meeting. “Knowing it was the villa, he asked for clothes. ”

The clothes arrived quickly, and over there, Shi Nian had washed the smell of fish off his body, habitually shaking his feathers, but he remembered he was human.

He could only follow the human example and took a bath towel to wipe.

When he got changed, his hair was still dripping when he came down.

“Robot, come over here and blow-dry my hair.”

That comfortable appearance was like he was in his own home.

But the robot was not his and had no authority, so it was as if it had not heard him. It was the adjutant who was resourceful and immediately told the robot to go and blow this ancestor’s hair.

The marshal’s life still needs to be preserved.

Shi Nian went to the sofa and waited until his hair was almost dry before looking at Lu Baiting on the opposite side.

“Is the support contract ready?”

Lu Boting:”… ”

The adjutant looked at his own marshal’s instantly darkened face and immediately said, “Mr. Shi, you may have misunderstood, our marshal does not want to adopt you.”

“Then this is…”

“It’s like this.” The adjutant immediately told the whole story, and when Shi Nian heard that it was exactly the same as what he knew, he nodded, “Then it is not a package, but my quantum beast is very expensive to package.”

Lu Bo Ting corrected him, “It’s a hire.”

“I will offer you a very generous payment, but, of course, if you feel it is not enough, you can still negotiate. And you will need to live here and let your Quantum Beast help me stabilise my mental energy on a daily basis.

The adjutant duly said, “Mr. Shi Nian, add my light brain number and I will send you the contract.”

Shi Nian recalled the usage of the light brain from his memories, then added the adjutant less skilfully and glanced at the contract.

The pay was indeed generous, three million a month, with a bonus of half a year’s salary at the end of the year. The terms and conditions were clearly listed on the contract, and as he was looking at it, he heard Lu Bo Ting say.

“Add another clause to the above: no feelings for your employer.”

Shi Nian: “……”

Shi Nian jerked his head up and looked at him up and down. Even from a sitting position, it was easy to see that the man in front of him was extremely tall, wearing a long black trench coat, and his eyebrows did not show any sharpness, but his aura had momentum.

The appearance was also exceptionally good-looking compared to the original owner’s scumbag ex-boyfriend. It was worlds apart, like heaven and earth. But……

“Don’t worry, I can’t look at one that looks like you.” Shi Nian said afterawhile.

No feathers, not to mention wearing all black. The phoenix is not blind, but how can he look at you?

Don’t you know that we birds like bright and shiny things?
