Chapter 160: Seeing People with Colored Eyes
The driver first poured a glass of wine for Xiao Yun and introduced himself as Niu Tian.
"Brother, what's your name?"
"My name is Xiao Yun," Xiao Yun replied, trying to maintain a low profile.
Niu Tian reached out and patted Xiao Yun's shoulder, saying sympathetically, "How sad, Brother Xiao. I can tell at a glance that you're still an unmarried virgin, right?"
Unmarried, yes; but to say I'm a virgin...
Xiao Yun barely suppressed a laugh and nodded heavily, saying, "Yes, Brother Niu, your eyes are sharp and accurate. But—what's so good about getting married?"
With a "squeak," Niu Tian took a big gulp and smacked his lips, saying, "Of course there are many benefits! For example, after a long day of work outside, when you get home, you can turn on the lights and have a woman to talk to. When you turn off the lights, there's a lovely person in your arms... unlike you, a big man who has to run to the supermarket by himself. When you think of a woman, you can only recite lines over the phone with another woman. How tragic!"
Frenzied Sweat!
Am I really that tragic?
"Uh," Xiao Yun said with an envious expression, "So that means, Brother Niu, you are quite happy then?"
"Of course! I have a wonderful wife named Miao Zhen. She's beautiful and charming—people love her at first sight. She's rare on the ground and hard to find in the sky; she looks just like she walked out of a painting. For the past few years of marriage, she's treated me very well. Hehe... but..." As Niu Tian was lost in his own words, his expression suddenly darkened, and anger flashed in his eyes.
With the change in his mood, Xiao Yun's Spiritual Sense unexpectedly detected that the bones within him suddenly became robust. A chilling aura emanated from him, surrounded by sparks invisible to ordinary people and accompanied by sounds of crackling that ordinary ears couldn't hear.
A martial artist's Qi Mechanism suddenly flickered into existence.
What is going on here? Xiao Qu was increasingly astonished.
He could tell that Niu Tian was not just an ordinary martial artist. When he was calm, he was no different from an average person; it was only when he was angry that a powerful martial artist's Qi Mechanism would erupt from him.
In real life, people like this are indeed rare and hard to come by.
It seemed that even Niu Tian himself was unaware of the extraordinary ability hidden within him.
Xiao Yun strongly suppressed the shock rising from his heart and asked, "Brother Niu, since you have such a good sister-in-law, why aren't you happy?"
Niu Tian gritted his teeth in pain and said, "She betrayed me. Hmph, it's all those thieving men who steal other people's wives' fault!" He clenched his fists and pounded the table in despair.
Ah, no wonder he was so furious; it turned out he was a poor man wearing a green hat!
"How are you sure she betrayed you?" Xiao Yun felt some sympathy for the man before him.
"She..." Niu Tian said with tears in his eyes, "Uh, she works at a company and usually comes home early after work. But for the past six months, it's changed. She leaves early and comes back late, reeking of alcohol. Sometimes it's midnight before she gets home, and there are even texts coming in for her. What's worse is that she actually sleeps in a different bed now..."
Xiao Yun nodded inwardly; this was indeed a bad sign. As a man, anyone would find it unbearable.
After a while...
"Do you still love her?" Finally, Xiao Yun asked this question.
Niu Tian rubbed his reddened eyes and nodded without saying a word.
At this moment, even Xiao Yun felt that the question was unnecessary; it was like asking if someone needed to take off their pants to fart. If someone didn't love their wife, they wouldn't be suffering so much.
Poor men everywhere!
"Brother Niu..." Xiao Yun tapped his forehead.
Niu Tian looked up at Xiao Yun and said, "Hmm?"
Xiao Yun smiled and nodded, "I'll help you!"
"How will you help me?" Brother Niu asked, like a drowning person grasping a life-saving float, his eyes filled with anticipation.
Xiao Yun chuckled and replied, "Do you know what time your sister-in-law is usually home during the day?"
Niu Tian said, "It's a coincidence you ask; she's off today and will be home all day. Uh, what do you mean by that?"
"I have an ancestral method that requires seeing your sister-in-law. I’ll assess the situation and provide the right remedy. I guarantee that within a few hours, she will change her mind about you and will wholeheartedly want to live with you!"
"Ah, is what you're saying true?"
"Tch, whether it's true or not will be revealed in due time!"
Xiao Yun crossed his arms and sat there with an inscrutable expression, looking calm and composed.
In Niu Tian's eyes, he looked incredibly cool; this was what a master should look like...
Simple-minded, strong-bodied, yet also somewhat oblivious!
In Xiao Yun's Spiritual Sense, he had labeled Niu Tian as such.
However, he thought to himself that this person had potential!
"Brother Niu," Xiao Yun raised his wrist to check the time on the Jiang Shidun watch that Luo Mingyue had given him. With a slight frown, he said, "We shouldn't delay. If we wait until noon, someone with ill intentions might take your sister-in-law out. Let's hurry to your house now!"
"Alright, Brother Xiao is indeed a chivalrous person, but this wine..."
Xiao Yun said with a serious expression, "Let's pack the food and take it to your home to eat!"
"Brother is always so considerate!" Niu Tian exclaimed excitedly.
Niu Tian's taxi had been driven away by his friend, so they had no choice but to hail another taxi on the street and rushed to the community where he lived.
Arriving at Niu Tian's doorstep, he rang the doorbell, and a young woman opened the door.
In Xiao Yun's eyes, the woman did not match Niu Tian's description of someone "rare on the ground and hard to find in the sky." She wasn't exactly beautiful, but she was certainly not unattractive. With fair skin, watery eyes, full lips, a slim waist, and curvy hips, she could be described as a charming woman with a certain grace.
"You must be Sister Miao Zhen? Hehe, hello, Sister!" Xiao Yun was friendly and sweet-tongued. He squeezed in front of Niu Tian to greet her first and casually handed her a bag of fruit.
This gift was something Xiao Yun had bought at the entrance of the community. Women generally appreciate small favors; it's better to make a good impression first.
Sure enough, Miao Zhen smiled broadly, but her gaze passed over Xiao Yun's shoulder to look at Niu Tian and asked, "Who is this brother...?"
"Oh, he's a friend of mine named Xiao Yun..." Niu Tian replied somewhat awkwardly.
It was a joke; he brought Xiao Yun home today because he was here to "fix" his wife. Regardless of how it turned out, he felt a bit anxious inside. You can know someone’s face but not their heart; he didn't know if this Xiao was a con artist or if he truly had the ability to win his wife back. If this kid messed things up, his happiness for life would be ruined.
Uh-oh, standing at the door, Niu Tian realized that his actions were somewhat reckless as beads of sweat appeared on his dark face.
Fortunately, Miao Zhen was accommodating. Upon hearing that Xiao Yun was Niu Tian's friend, she welcomed them inside and busied herself with seating arrangements and making tea. Xiao Yun sat confidently on the sofa with his legs crossed. As his Spiritual Sense scanned over the woman’s body, he couldn't help but frown slightly.
The woman's bone structure was indeed perfectly slender; however, she gave off an impression of being as soft as willow branches and seemed quite frivolous. According to The Thirty-Six Techniques of Bone Painting regarding women's bone structure, women with such bones are often flirtatious and capricious. If the man she marries lacks sufficient resolve and ability to keep her in check, infidelity would be quite natural.
"Sister, could you please refill my water?" Xiao Yun said like a thirsty ghost reborn as he gulped down half a cup of water and calmly placed the teacup back on the Tea Table in front of him.
"Alright, I'll get you some water!" Miao Zhen turned to grab the water bottle, her slender waist swaying gracefully, her chest bouncing slightly. Watching her, Xiao Yun felt his heart flutter as well. No wonder so many men were attracted to her, and no wonder Niu Tian was filled with resentment and sorrow.
Whoosh!
Taking advantage of Miao Zhen refilling her water, Xiao Yun secretly delivered a light blow to her slender waist.
"Sister-in-law, you don't seem to be looking well!" Xiao Yun suddenly blurted out.
Miao Zhen froze, staring at Xiao Yun, whose eyes were fixated on her face with a hint of lewdness. The good impression she had of him vanished in an instant.
"Are you a fortune teller?" Her voice was icy, her expression as cold as ancient ice.
Niu Tian immediately tensed up. What trick was this Xiao doing? How could he offend my wife with just one sentence? Didn't he know that my wife hates it when people say she looks unwell? She is very particular about maintaining a polished appearance.
He regretted not warning Xiao Yun beforehand about what topics were taboo with his wife and wished he could slap himself for his oversight.
Xiao Yun continued to smile at Miao Zhen and said, "I'm not a fortune teller, but I have a natural ability to see people's colors, especially women's complexions. I can usually tell accurately. I dare say that within half an hour, Sister-in-law will need something from me!"
Seeing colors? That must mean he's a pervert.
Miao Zhen shot him a cold glance, a smirk forming at the corner of her mouth as she asked, "What would I need from you?"
