Chapter 251 A Chance for Intimacy

“It was Qiyue again, and they were so close!” Princess Qianyang’s rage and hatred were strengthened.

But Yun Shimo was not facing her, so he couldn’t see the glimpse of hatred in her eyes.

Princess Qianyang sounded like a little woman. She was so spoiled and unsatisfied. But he couldn’t sense any complaint or hatred from her words.

“Honey, please, haven’t you mastered that lethal skill already?”

“Yeah, that lethal skill needs its learner to be a virgin, so I can’t break that rule. I will master it soon.” Yun Shimo had to respond to her.

Princess Qianyang made a scornful look. She knew how ironic it was. “Was he really treating me like a three-year-old girl? Did he seriously think that I would take that excuse? Please!”

“Well, then, I will wait for you patiently. Maybe I was really overthinking. How could I think they were looking at me in a weird way?”

Princess Qianyang said strangely to Yun Shimo and rubbed his arm with her little face.

Yun Shimo was going to be crazy!

The woman knew that he couldn’t break the rule, but she still used these flirty moves on him.

“You were really overthinking.” Yun Shimo said to Princess Qianyang indifferently. Princess Qianyang slammed her nails into her palms, and the pain made her sober. Her voice was still gentle. “Honey, you need sleep. You don’t seem so well, and don’t overtire yourself.”

Yun Shimo made a noise to respond to Princess Qianyang, but he never spoke again. Princess Qianyang’s face twisted under the light.

“Hua Qiyue!”

“If it were not Hua Qiyue, Yun Shimo wouldn’t be cold to me again all of a sudden.”

“It’s that woman again. Yun Shimo already married me, and we were already husband and wife. But since Hua Qiyue showed up, everything was in a blur again.”

The hatred in Princess Qianyang’s head had piled up. “That woman! That woman—I am not done with her.”

—————————

The second day.

Hua Qiyue was staying in the log cabin for cultivation. She didn’t go to the west side of the woods.

The reason why Hua Qiyue would rather stay in the log cabin was that she didn’t want to bump into Yun Shimo or Princess Qianyang.

Hua Qiyue’s spirit practiced in the jade gourd. Ever since Tianpi knew that she and Tianci were Purple Sky Spiritual Constitutions, he had been sitting under a tree and meditating.

Even Hua Qiyue’s wine and meat couldn’t make him happy. Hua Qiyue knew there was something about the Purple Sky Spiritual Constitution and Purple Primordial Chaos Bead.

Or Tianpi wouldn’t suddenly change into another person. Sometimes he was even sizing Hua Qiyue up in a strange way.

She was still the same person, but why Tianpi had changed?

“Master, do you know something? Why do you have that strange look?” Hua Xiyue walked to Tianpi and pushed his shoulder.

A wicked smile flashed past Tianpi’s handsome face. “No, nothing, it’s just that my little girl has grown up, that’s all.”

“Had grown-up?”

Hua Qiyue looked at Tianpi, feeling puzzled, and then she looked at herself and thought, “Why do I have a feeling that my breasts are a little bigger.” Oh, it was because of the nutritious meals Ji Feng had been making for her over the past year. She had gained some weight, and her breasts were, of course, bigger.

Hua Qiyue’s face was flushed. She kicked Tianpi on his feet. “What kind of filthy thing do you have in your mind?”

Tianpi smiled a little. Hua Qiyue stopped talking to him and continued her practice. Tianpi’s face darkened.

“Purple Primordial Chaos Bead, Purple Sky Spiritual Constitution, how were they related? Why did they make Hua Qiyue have a scent of a Purple Sky Spiritual Constitution?” Tianpi thought.

...

One hour later, someone knocked on the door, and Hua Qiyue existed from the jade gourd to the real world.

The door was pushed open.

A small smiling face came in. “Mom!”

The face was full of bright smiles. This chubby boy made Hua Qiyue feel the warmth for a while. “What’s wrong? You need mom for anything?”

“Mom, see what I’ve brought you!”

The little boy carried a basket and walked in, and when he opened it, Hua Qiyue found several dishes.

They were all snacks Hua Qiyue liked; osmanthus cake, multiple-layer cake, five-nut filling mooncake, hand grasping cake, pumpkin cake... and even a bowl of soup, etc.

These snacks looked simple, but it took a lot of time and energy to make them.

And the soup had a top-grade medicine pellet—the Ginseng with Nine Souls from Hua Qiyue. But it had a different flavor.

Tianci was so skinny, but he still carried that heavy basket of food to Hua Qiyue, which touched her so much that she wanted to cry. Hua Qiyue kept nodding to her son and said, “Tianci, you are a good boy... Thank you for bringing me these.”

“Mom, do you like these? I actually didn’t remember what you liked, so... it was dad who made all these snacks.”

Tianci smiled and looked out of the room, saying, “Dad, please come in!”

Hua Qiyue’s heart stopped beating for a while. She didn’t expect the little boy to be on his father’s side.

Yun Shimo walked in. His dark robe smelled good, like herbs. He didn’t look so well, and his eyes were softer.

Hua Qiyue hesitated for a moment and decided not to tell him to go away for the sake of her little boy.

Xuanji was leaning against the door and watching, which made Tianci feel so embarrassed that he said to him, “Please, Xuan, can you walk away? Thanks.”

Xuanji was amused by the little boy’s innocent sound. “Why do you want me to walk away?”

“Because you are disturbing my family!” Tianci argued reasonably.

Hua Qiyue pulled Tianci to her. “Tianci, don’t talk nonsense. Brother Xuan is just trying to protect mom.”

Tianci was not happy to hear that. He showed his feeling on his face and got away from his mom’s hands. “Mom, we are a family. Why do we need someone else’s protection?”

Hua Qiyue was dumb. She looked at Yun Shimo resentfully. She knew it was his idea or Tianci wouldn’t do such a stupid thing.

Xuanji raised his eyebrows. He didn’t argue with Tianci. It wouldn’t be him if he did.

Yun Shimo sat in front of Hua Qiyue, looking at her as she was unhappy. He finally said, “Tianci told me to make these snacks. He said he wanted to eat.”

Tianci blinked his big and round eyes and kept shaking his hands in the air, “No, dad, no. Why do you lie?”

Yun Shimo gave Hua Qiyue a gentle look. “Are... are you alright?”

“I am alright!”

“But Tianci told me you didn’t feel so well.”

“He lied!” Hua Qiyue gave Tianci a cold stare.

Tianci didn’t feel anything for that stare. In fact, he was fine being ignored. His mom and dad were arguing. Didn’t his grandma tell him that people usually got attached once they started to argue?

“Heyhey, maybe mom and dad can be with me forever!”

Tianci was delighted by that idea, and he began to watch those two in a good mood as they were arguing.

Hua Qiyue really wanted to tear Yun Shimo’s face up, but Tianci was present so she could not release her anger. The only thing she did was to bite the pumpkin cake hard and never talked to Yun Shimo again.

So the argument couldn’t proceed. Tianci blinked his eyes and stood quietly and then walked outside.

Hua Qiyue was having her moment, so she didn’t care about Tianci.

Tianci left the house and took over the wooden boots from the hare happily. And then he exchanged Hua Qiyue’s cloth boots with the wooden ones.

Ha, a great show was going to happen.

Hua Qiyue ate another piece of pumpkin cake, and then she remembered that they were from Yun Shimo, so she felt strange and annoyed at the same time.

What made her feel strange was that he could make these kinds of snacks. So he had been making them for Tianci or Princess Qianyang?

Hua Qiyue felt something stuck in her throat when thinking about that. She stood up and walked out without looking at Yun Shimo.

She did not want to sit here with Yun Shimo being all silent.

When she was out of the room, she found that her cloth boots were missing. There were only Yun Shimo’s boots and another pair of wooden boots.

Hua Qiyue was sort of familiar with these wooden boots. She had worn these kinds of boots when she was little. Back then, people in the village were still uninformed, so they kept wearing these wooden boots for many years.

Hua Qiyue’s brow furrowed. She kept shaking her head when she thought of Tianci’s tricky eyes. “That little boy must be planning on something.”

Hua Qiyue squatted down, holding these boots. But no matter how hard she observed, she just could replace anything wrong with them.

What did the little boy want her to do with these boots? Did he want her to wear them?

Hua Qiyue didn’t want to disappoint her son, so she put them on and found out that they were just her size. Yun Shimo came over and stood next to her. He watched Hua Qiyue walk out of the room in these wooden boots.

The ground outside wasn’t as flat as that inside, for it was made of little rocks.

Hua Qiyue didn’t get used to walking on the bumpy road made of rocks in these wooden boots since she usually wore cloth boots which had flat soles.

She walked around and accidentally stepped on a rock. She felt a sudden pain in her heel and gasped. When she was about to fall over, Yun Shimo, who had been following her all that time, timely rushed over and held her body.

“No more walking. Your feet are already injured, so let me have a look.”

Hua Qiyue made a snort and didn’t look at Yun Shimo’s caring face directly. “You made this plan with Tianci, didn’t you? That boy, was he really willing to see me hurt?”

“No, mom, I have never thought of that!” Tianci jumped over to them and looked at Hua Qiyue, feeling wronged. “I just didn’t want you to walk right, so dad could be there to carry you, that’s all!”

Hua Qiyue was speechless. She really wanted to slap Tianci.

Though Tianci was her son, sometimes he still pissed her off. That little boy didn’t know how to be roundabout. And he didn’t know that her mom would never let Yun Shimo carry her.

But under that circumstance, Hua Qiyue did need his help. She couldn’t walk anymore, or she would make the injury worse. Hua Qiyue didn’t want to be disabled.

If she had any medical knowledge, she could use her anima energy to heal herself. But she didn’t have any.

“Don’t move, I will carry you inside,” Yun Shimo said to her flatly. And then he held Hua Qiyue in his arms and carried her to the room.

Tianci followed them happily. Though he did worry about Hua Qiyue’s feet, he felt satisfied seeing those two getting their chances for more intimacy.

But not far away, there were a pair of evil eyes hiding behind a tree and staring at them.
