Chapter 454 - 226: Ming Yu’s Dream (Part 2)
Sleeping beside Chu Xuan, Qingqing woke up groggily, rubbing her eyes and said, "Husband, why are you awake? It’s still dark."
Chu Xuan snapped back to reality, somewhat speechless.
Yes, Qingqing, who was initially shy about experiencing intimacy for the first time, gradually savored the pleasure and unexpectedly played with him for a whole day and night, thus saying "it’s still dark."
Chu Xuan kissed her forehead affectionately and said, "Sleep a little more. When dawn breaks, we’ll set off to the Northern Territory. This time we’ve delayed long enough, and I want to enter seclusion for some serious cultivation."
Qingqing was somewhat reluctant; she wanted to enjoy more playtime in this bustling world with her beloved, playing outside during the day and snuggling in the bed at night.
But she also knew that Chu Xuan was currently being chased and eager to improve his strength. Bringing her to this lively place to see the lanterns was already quite risky.
So Qingqing obediently nodded, carrying a hint of longing, "Then, next time we’ll come again."
"There will be a next time, right?" She asked in an expectant yet uncertain tone.
Chu Xuan nodded with a smile, "There will be a next time."
...
At the Northern Territory’s Broken Sword Mountain, Ji Mingyu actually had the same dream as Chu Xuan.
After waking from the dream, her mood became increasingly low.
Suddenly, Ming Yu spoke to the snow mink resting beside her, "Little Snow, do you think they might have secretly gotten together and already so captivated they won’t come back..."
Ji Mingyu’s words gradually made her want to cry, her eyes reddened, "Chu Xuan, will you come back, please? I’ve already learned how to play the zither, will you let me play for you?"
Little Snow quickly comforted, "No, no, master, you’re just overly concerned and confused."
"Since you can fall asleep, why not sleep a bit more? Maybe when you wake next, you might see Chu Xuan has returned."
Ji Mingyu wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes, then lay back down on the cold cliff, alone and with no one to rely on.
...
In Langhuan Grotto Heaven, Ji Mingyu sat alone in front of the seven-stringed zither, dazedly, only remembering waiting for Chu Xuan to return so she could play for him.
Suddenly! She sensed the opening of a grand formation and hurriedly flew out of the cave residence, excited.
There she saw a lovely little girl dressed in white flying alongside Chu Xuan, and the girl happily waved, saying, "Master, I brought Chu Xuan back to see you."
Chu Xuan also appeared with a smile, seeming to be in good spirits.
Ji Mingyu was moved all at once, thinking that raising him all these years wasn’t in vain, he still knew to care for his master.
However, she was puzzled by the sight: why did Little Snow appear to be holding something? And Chu Xuan was holding something too.
As they landed near Ji Mingyu, Little Snow smiled happily while showing the swaddling in her arms to her master, revealing a baby! The skin was fair and rosy, looking very adorable.
The same was true for the swaddling in Chu Xuan’s arms, with his face showing the joy of being a new father.
Ji Mingyu’s expression changed drastically! Her face turned pale all at once, and she couldn’t help but step back and stammer, "W-what does this mean?"
"Master, I brought three children to see you," Little Snow said in her childish voice, as at this moment, a small snow mink the size of a palm appeared from behind her, looking extremely lively and cute.
"No, no, no, please don’t, don’t!" Ji Mingyu waved her hands wildly, retreating again and again, only to accidentally fall into a bottomless abyss!
...
"No, no..."
Little Snow was originally sleeping well, but suddenly saw the master shouting ’no’ while swinging her arms wildly, with sweat beads forming on her forehead, as if she were having a nightmare.
It pondered whether to wake her, but the master suddenly turned over and sat upright, clutching her chest and gasping in large breaths, looking as if she had barely survived.
"Scared me to death, scared me to death..."
Little Snow stood up worriedly, "Master, did you have a nightmare?"
Ji Mingyu suddenly turned her head to glance at it, eyes filled with a chilling intent!
Little Snow instantly felt its fur stand on end from fright, quickly hiding away and shouting, "Master, what’s wrong with you??"
Ming Yu slowly calmed her mind, somewhat embarrassedly gesturing for it to return, "Nothing, come back, I just had a crazy dream."
Little Snow was somewhat wary but still slowly moved back near the master since if the master were to take action, it couldn’t escape.
Ji Mingyu dumbly held Little Snow in her arms, gently stroking its fur, looking somewhat broken.
This made the previously tense Little Snow feel worried, "Master, are you okay? What did you dream about?"
Ming Yu shook her head without answering; she couldn’t possibly say, "I dreamt even my pet stole my man," right?
Simultaneously, she began considering deeply whether sending Little Snow to Chu Xuan was right or wrong, fearing it might be like "throwing a meat bun to a dog." Ji Mingyu really suspected Chu Xuan was capable of anything.
No, no, she further comforted herself, wasn’t it fine when she last sent Little Snow to be with Chu Xuan?
Besides, it remained in beast form ninety percent of the time, and Chu Xuan hadn’t turned depraved to that extent.
Just like that, the days passed painfully in Ji Mingyu’s endless waiting.
About half a month later, Chu Xuan’s figure finally appeared within her divine sense range, nearly moving Ming Yu to tears.
...
Over on Chu Xuan’s side, the beauty’s head ’Sword Control’ carried them effortlessly aloft.
Of course, Qingqing nestled closely beside Chu Xuan, were it not for the beauty’s head being in the way, she would definitely be able to hold onto Chu Xuan while journeying and endlessly cling to him.
Along the way, she even specifically requested Chu Xuan to stop for a break; her intention was almost blatantly written on her face.
Unable to resist her pitiful demeanor, Chu Xuan agreed to pause once along the way, then continued non-stop.
At this moment, seeing the distant view of Broken Sword Mountain, Chu Xuan pondered, "Not sure if Senior Sister is still there, but considering how much time has passed, likely she isn’t."
Holding Chu Xuan’s arm, Qingqing immediately felt a touch of jealousy when he mentioned Qin Mengyao, "Husband, you already have someone, why still need Senior Sister?"
Chu Xuan helplessly replied, "You’re overthinking, I’m just concerned about Senior Sister."
Qingqing then stuck out her tongue, and she further sweetly said, "Husband, how many children do you think we should have?"
"How many? Having one would already be good." Chu Xuan quipped.
Qingqing whined, "How can you set the goal so low? It should be at least ten or eight~"
At this very moment, Ji Mingyu is right beside them!
Of course, she was flying with the snow mink outside the sword light, even the beauty’s head couldn’t detect her presence.
Ming Yu saw everything; the tone and atmosphere between these two were completely different from before, now like a newlywed couple deeply in love. She didn’t even need to check Qingqing’s body, she knew the fact couldn’t be changed!
She was shaking with rage, biting her silver teeth, "Duanmu Qing, you traitor!"
Little Snow paused momentarily, silently griping: How could Gu Haitang not say these words? Aren’t you the member of the "defeated loyalty alliance."
Or perhaps, in your heart, you’ve silently regarded Qingqing and Haitang as "comrades in arms"?
Chu Xuan and Qingqing, naturally unaware of the tigress eyeing them nearby, quickly arrived at Broken Sword Mountain.
Then Little Snow witnessed, Chu Xuan surprisingly put the beauty’s head into the white brocade pouch it gifted him??
This left it utterly speechless, silently cursing: You swine, I sent you this to hold my belongings, and you’re using it for another woman?
Immediately Little Snow shook its head privately, whatever. You fill it with whoever you want, it’s none of my business anyway.
Ji Mingyu maintained a resentful demeanor; she hurriedly took Little Snow to delve into the abyss, entering the Ancient Battlefield, instructing:
"I’ll place you in the Crystal Palace; when Chu Xuan arrives there, you must pretend to encounter him by chance, using excuses no different from the usual ones..."
Little Snow felt a headache, here it comes, once again.
