"Foolish girl, look at you getting all nervous," Su Anrong said as he ruffled my hair.
"How can I not be nervous? It took so much courage and determination for me to accept a husband who isn't even human. We haven't even enjoyed our happy days together for two days, and now you're talking about leaving. Boohoo!"
The more I spoke, the more aggrieved I felt, and soon I was crying loudly. "Are you trying to die? Are you trying to use your life to repay this debt?" After all, how could Lin Xiuyu's centuries of resentment just disappear so easily?
"My life isn't worth much. If it can be used to repay the debt, wouldn't that be a good thing?"
"No way! No matter what, it can't be you. If anyone is going to repay it, it should be me. I took away the chance that rightfully belonged to him to be reborn. This is something that doesn't concern you."
"Wife, our son needs his mommy."
"He needs his daddy too!" I interrupted angrily, then tightly grasped his hand. "Garlic Paste, don't say things like that. I don't want to be apart from you. I don't want to separate."
Lizard and Little Lizard appeared beside us at some point, one on each side. Lizard smiled mischievously and suggested, "If you two don't want to part ways, I have a great idea."
Little Lizard glanced at him, and they exchanged knowing looks before bursting into laughter. "Hahaha, you thought of it too, right?"
I exchanged glances with Su Anrong and then looked at them. "What do you mean?"
Lizard climbed onto my shoulder and said mysteriously, "Queen, yesterday Little Lizard and I went shopping and saw a store that specializes in Couple Mugs. Those kissing mugs are quite interesting!" He winked at me as he spoke.
Suddenly enlightened, I clapped my thigh in excitement. "I get what you're saying!"
"Wife, don't listen to their nonsense! I disagree! It took me so long to help you reincarnate from a mug into a person; there's no way I'm letting you turn back into a mug!"
Rice had been silent all along but chimed in when he heard Su Anrong's words. "Mommy, if you're going to turn into a mug, let me help you pick a style! I saw a funny poop mug last time!" The little guy got all excited as he spoke.
Su Anrong shot him an annoyed glare. "Son, do you really want your mommy to be a mug forever?"
Rice was momentarily stunned, his smile fading as tears filled his eyes. "Isn't it just a game? Why does it have to be forever? I don't want Mommy to be a cup forever; it's so fragile that it could shatter at any moment."
"So you're just worried that I might break, huh? That's so sad," he added.
A voice suddenly echoed from the sofa, expressing disdain for the unexpected appearance of Steamed Bun. "You lowly beings really lack insight. With such a great choice before you, why are you still whining?"
Steamed Bun chuckled, adding more curls to his smile. "I mean, Spirit Sovereign, why go through all this trouble? Sacrificing thousands of years of cultivation for a cup and disappearing from the Three Realms? I can't bear to watch this unfold."
"What do you mean by disappearing from the Three Realms?" I asked incredulously, glancing at Su Anrong, who had never mentioned this before.
"Of course! Do you think abusing your power is something that can be easily resolved? Even if you abuse your power, you still want to keep him around without giving anything in return. How does that work?"
"Wife, it's not as serious as he says. Don't listen to him," Su Anrong tried to persuade me.
Did he really think I was that naive? I didn't want to hear any more of his words and quickly asked Steamed Bun, "Are there any other options?"
"No," Su Anrong answered first, but it was of no use.
It seemed his relationship with the deity wasn't great; Steamed Bun immediately undermined him, boasting, "Actually, there is. You could disappear. But even if you do, he would lose a thousand years of cultivation and can no longer be Spirit Sovereign."
"Then let's just have Mommy become a cup," Rice said while winking at me. I understood what he meant; he probably thought that even if she became a cup, he could still use spirit medicine to feed me and help me regain my human form. If it were that easy, why would Su Anrong need to ask Yama for help?
However, I felt that aside from this option, there were no better alternatives. I didn't want Su Anrong to disappear, and he didn't want me to vanish either. So if I became a cup and stayed by his side, wouldn't that be the perfect choice?
"You all have such beautiful thoughts," Steamed Bun's words shattered my fantasies, but his next statement gave me hope. "However, there's an even better option. The Supreme Deity just saw the proposal from these two spirits and thinks it's a good choice. It allows you to be together while also giving Lin Xiuyu an explanation. So he has decided to turn you into Couple Mugs. Now, you can start choosing your styles." As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand lightly in the air, and a holographic computer screen appeared before us, displaying a gallery filled with thousands of Couple Mug designs.
Su Anrong and I exchanged glances, both amused and bewildered; we truly didn't know whether this was good news or bad news.
At that moment, my parents rushed back home. Upon seeing Steamed Bun, my mother screamed in shock, "Oh my goodness! What an ugly person!"
Dad immediately spotted the Holographic Computer screen and exclaimed, "Wow, the holographic technology has advanced so much! Where is this image projected from?" As he spoke, he eagerly approached the computer and tentatively tapped the screen. The Couple Mug on display instantly changed to a different style. "It's real! This is amazing! Wheat, is this your friend?"
Steamed Bun was not pleased with Mom's assessment and replied coldly, "Not really a friend."
"Ahaha, so you're a salesperson! We can't afford this computer; you should try another place," Dad said while having a great time swiping through the options.
I felt somewhat speechless.
Steamed Bun half-jokingly said, "It's fine; you can experience it a bit longer. There are many styles of Couple Mugs here. Pick your favorite, and if the sale doesn't go through, at least we can maintain our friendship. Later, I'll send you the style you like."
As soon as Mom heard there was something to be given away, she happily rushed over to Dad, and together they excitedly began selecting mugs.
I pulled Garlic Sauce aside and said awkwardly, "Garlic Sauce, what should we do? How do we explain this to them?"
"I'm sorry, dear. I can't protect you," Su Anrong said, his face filled with deep remorse, which only intensified his pain at that moment.
I felt bad too, but thinking about being able to become a Couple Mug with him was better than one of us disappearing. I forced a smile and said, "What’s there to apologize for? I've been thinking about how we can be together forever. Now that there's such a good option available, why not take it? Plus, they’ve given us so many styles to choose from; that’s quite generous of them."
"Wife..."
"Alright, alright, stop looking so glum. You specifically called Mom and Dad back; we have to face this together. Let’s go over there," I said as I took Su Anrong's hand and sat back down on the sofa. At that moment, I felt he was more vulnerable than ever.
Meanwhile, my parents were still enthusiastically selecting mugs. Rice was carefully holding back tears while acting as an advisor. "Grandma, don’t pick anything that breaks easily; I like to drop things."
"Grandpa, that one you picked is too ugly; choose something nicer."
Finally, they settled on a pair of understated yet elegant silver Couple Mugs that were also durable—two little pigs kissing. Mom looked at them lovingly and said, "Pure silver; it must not be cheap!"
"Mom, have you decided?"
My mother dragged me to the computer and said, "Look, I picked this one. Isn’t it beautiful? Youyu said it’s unbreakable, and this one is the best."
I felt a lump in my throat and replied, "It’s nice. As long as you like it, that’s what matters. Mom, if this cup stays by your side for a lifetime, will you be happy?"
"Of course I will! Such a beautiful cup—if it doesn’t break, I’ll keep it forever. Silver isn’t that easy to break either, right? Haha."
I nodded. "Of course. Since that’s the case, we can rest assured."
"Wait a minute," Wheat said, his tone off. "Is there something you’re not telling us? Right, Youyu called us back for a reason, didn’t she?"
Su Anrong squeezed my hand, and he was the first to speak up. "Dad, Mom, here’s the thing." He then explained everything about how I was going to be reincarnated and the situation with Lin Xiuyu, covering everything until now. He concluded with, "So in just over ten hours, we’ll become the couple mug you chose."
Mom was stunned for a while before slowly grasping the situation. She then grabbed a cup from the table and threw it at Steamed Bun. "What kind of god are you? You look so ugly! Do you know how much you ruin the view? Get out of my house and never come back!"
Steamed Bun naturally dodged her throw but was still furious. He smugly replied, "Go ahead and hit me! It won’t hurt; after all, even if you kill me, your daughter and son-in-law will become Couple Mug. Instead of enjoying your last few hours with them, you waste time on me? I’m more than willing to keep you company!"
Mom trembled with anger and suddenly burst into tears. "Then what are we wasting time for? Wuwuwu! Kid’s dad, hurry up! Get that bottle of 58-year-old daughter red wine out! We won’t stop drinking until we’re drunk! Wuwuwu!"
That day, day and night, we spent a full nineteen hours chatting with our parents and saying goodbye to friends. Nineteen hours felt like a lifetime; I had never felt that my time with my parents was so short.
I was afraid to look at the clock, afraid to see time slipping away.
I didn’t tell Lele and Xiaonan the truth; I only said that Su Anrong and I might be going abroad. They laughed and told me I found a good husband and should keep in touch often. But they didn’t know that I would no longer be able to contact them.
Siyuan, who had just completed her ghost marriage with Qiao Lianjiu, heard about my situation—probably because Qiao Ziyuan told her something—and she rushed over in the last hour.
Now she probably understood me best; she stood there silently looking at me before hugging me tightly. "Wheat, don’t worry. I’ll find a way to bring you back."
I didn’t respond; in this last hour, I actually wanted to spend some time alone with Su Anrong.
They seemed to see through my thoughts and left me and Garlic in the bedroom. Rice handed us a pile of pills worth ten thousand gold each, saying, "Daddy, Mommy, you should use them while you can."
I had never been this reckless with Su Anrong before. As soon as the door closed, he pushed me down onto the bed. I didn’t need any medicine; I was his poison.
Our bodies and hearts intertwined completely. I wanted so much to merge into his life like this.
"Wife, are you scared?"
"With you here, I’m not afraid of anything. Even if I turned into a pig, it wouldn’t matter," I replied with a smile.
If one day you see a pair of silver pig Couple Mugs at the market, it might just be me and Su Anrong.
Please take good care of them.
Touch them gently; I'm afraid it might hurt.
(THE END)
