When Tuan Zi was very young in the past, no matter what Chu Liuyue and Zi Chen did, they would basically not avoid her. After all, she was still a child back then, so they didn''t take too much into consideration.
She probably wasn''t joking when she said she had seen his body before…
Zi Chen nced at her. "You''re not allowed to say such things in the future."
After a pause, he added, "Especially in front of outsiders."
It was fine if it was someone on their own side, but it wouldn''t be good if word got out.
Tuan Zi originally wanted to defend herself, but when she met Zi Chen''s deep and indifferent gaze, she felt inexplicably guilty and nodded obediently. "Oh."
Zi Chen was about to take this opportunity to exin more to her when his expression suddenly changed. As if sensing something, he looked outside.
Very quickly, a figure appeared outside the door.
"Tuan Zi, are you up?" This voice was very familiar—Yi Ming.
Tuan Zi was first ted and instinctively answered, "I''m up!"
As she spoke, she walked out the door.
The moment she stepped out of the doorstep, she suddenly thought of something and furrowed her brows. Ah yes, Yi Ming had invited me to Wind Valley to y today, but I also agreed to duel with Zi Chen yesterday…
Although everything happened on a firste, first-serve basis, Zi Chen was very difficult to fight…
In the past, she would pester him for a long time, and he would only be willing to duel once in a while.
The chance was really rare, and she couldn''t bear to give it up.
At this moment, Zi Chen walked over. His gaze swept across Yi Ming, and he raised his eyebrows slightly. "I almost forgot. You originally had an appointment today. Then, another day."
As he spoke, he turned around to go back.
He actually helped Tuan Zi make a choice without hesitation.
Yi Ming was confused, but he was also very smart. Seeing Tuan Zi''s expression, he quickly realized something. "…Tuan Zi, do you have anything else to do today?"
Tuan Zi originally didn''t want to break the agreement, but… Who knew when Zi Chen was talking about?
Compared to going to Wind Valley, she was more interested in dueling with Zi Chen! Hence, she quickly made a decision.
"Yes. I have something on at thest minute today. I''m afraid I can''t go with you." Tuan Zi sped her hands together and apologized in embarrassment. "I''m really sorry."
Yi Ming had actually already guessed it. Hearing her say this, he couldn''t help but feel a little disappointed.
But seeing that Tuan Zi really seemed to have something urgent to do, he couldn''t say much. Instead, he was afraid of dying her, so he immediately shook his head. "It''s okay. Since this is so, I''lle back tomorrow?"
Tuan Zi hurriedly nodded. "Okay!"
Yi Ming looked at her. During this trip, he hadn''t even been able to get close to her and talk to her.
But from her expression, it seemed like… she was in a hurry to do something.
He couldn''t dy any longer and quickly bade farewell.
After Yi Ming left, Tuan Zi turned around to look at Zi Chen. Two small mes had already burned in her eyes. "Zi Chen? Come on!"
Seeing her excited appearance, Zi Chen couldn''t help butugh. "Okay."
…
Fantasy Divine Pce.
There were only a few days left until the wedding between the Left Divine General and the Eighth Deity.
These two people had extraordinary identities after all, so the wedding ceremony was naturally very grand.
There werenterns everywhere, and it was very lively.
Before they got married, the atmosphere was already especially lively.
Speaking of which, this could be considered the first joyous event after everything was settled. Of course, everyone wanted it to be lively.
Fantasy Divine Hall.
The moment Chu Liuyue arrived outside the study, she heard a familiar voiceing from inside.
"Yes." It was Rong Xiu''s low and melodious voice; he seemed to be talking to someone.
She paused. Just as she was wondering if she should wait, she heard footsteps.
Rong Xiu walked out of the house. When he saw her, a gentle smile appeared in his eyes. "Yue''er, why are you here?"
ording to usual practice, she should be ''walking'' or resting now. He didn''t expect her to take the initiative to look for him.
The Emperor, who had been neglected for a long time, couldn''t help but feel ttered.
Chu Liuyue also smiled. "I wanted toe over and give you something."
Rong Xiu raised his sharp brows slightly. I don''tck anything here. What is she nning to give?
But before he could ask in detail, Chu Liuyue''s gaze turned, and she looked into the study.
"Yan Qing?" She was a little surprised.
Yan Qing had recently been busy preparing for the wedding, and he did many things himself. From the big ones like the preparations for every step, to the small ones like the dragon and phoenix candles in the bridal room, it seemed like Yan Qing was in charge.
On the other hand, Xiao Ba was still very rxed all day. The thing she was most diligent about was to take care of herself meticulously in all aspects.
She had to be beautiful to a new height, from her hair to her toes!
Initially, Chu Liuyue was still a little worried that Xiao Ba wouldn''t like the ones Yan Qing chose. Later on, she found out that he always prepared a few sets of ns. After tidying them up, he would pass them to Xiao Ba for her to choose.
In addition, perhaps because they had interacted for a long time, but Yan Qing had be increasingly clear about Xiao Ba''s likes and dislikes. At this point, he could basically urately choose what she wanted.
Hence, Xiao Ba''s days were even more leisurely and rxing.
Yan Qing walked over and bowed.
Chu Liuyue sized him up, smiled, and asked, "Oh right, have you recovered from your injuries?"
Yan Qing nodded his head respectfully.
BBut before he could say anything, Chu Liuyue stroked her chin again and said in agreement, "That''s true. With our Xiao Ba taking care of him every day, it''s hard not to recover!"
All these years, she had never seen Xiao Ba have such patience toward anyone.
Yan Qing didn''t expect her to say this. He was slightly dazed, and his gaze flickered.
"…Yes." Thinking of something, the tips of his ears turned slightly red.
However, Chu Liuyue didn''t notice it and knew that Yan Qing was busy. She waved her hands and didn''t forget to tease him "Go ahead and do your work, but you have to rest. If not, when you''re really tiredter, my Xiao Ba''s heart will ache."
Upon hearing this, Rong Xiu nodded his head. "You can do whatever you want in the future. There''s no need to ask for instructions."
Yan Qing seemed to heave a sigh of relief. After thanking her, he quickly left.
Rong Xiu held Chu Liuyue''s hand and walked into the house.
Chu Liuyue curiously asked, "Why did Yan Qing suddenly look for you?"
Rong Xiu smiled. "It''s not a big deal. He just came to ask for something."
As he spoke, he saw that Chu Liuyue was dazed and added, "He asked for some things to use for the wedding. They''re not very important, but it should be… He felt that the Eighth Deity would like them, so he specially made this trip."
Chu Liuyue reacted for a while and finally understood something. "This should be… the first time he willingly asked you for something, right?"
Rong Xiu tapped his chin, thought for a while, and smiledzily. "He had been on the brink of death several times in the past, but he didn''t do this. I didn''t expect him to speak up now for something small."
As the Left Divine General, it was as easy as ABC for Yan Qing to get something from the Emperor. However, his personality was cold and nonchnt, and he had never been like this.
The first time he made an exception was for that woman.
Chu Liuyue blinked. Why do I suddenly feel that Xiao Ba has taken advantage of him? Hm, it seems like I myself have benefited too…
Rong Xiu pinched her face. "What do you want to give me today?"
Speaking of this, Chu Liuyue recovered her senses.
She smiled, her starry eyes seeming to sparkle. Then, she held his hand and ced it on her stomach. "Baby, greet your Father."
Rong Xiu''s expression changed slightly, and his palm warmed up. This is… movement?
He leaned in closer, his movements gentle and careful. He almost held his breath, terrified that he would miss something.
Fifteen minutester.
Nothing happened.
Rong Xiu raised his brows and looked at her.
Chu Liuyue also found it strange. "That''s not right. I still felt it just now…"
The first time the fetuses moved, it felt very strange.
She knew that it was her and Rong Xiu''s children, and it was the inheritance of their bloodline—it was the deepest bond between them. Hence, after detecting themotion, she came over almost without hesitation.
She didn''t expect her children not to give her any face at all.
She waited and waited, but there was still no movement.
She softly muttered, "But this seems to be more coincidental to begin with. Besides, this is just the beginning. Perhaps there aren''t so many movements—"
As she spoke, she ced her hand on her stomach again.
Thunk.
It was a light kick, as if something was gently kicking.
Her heart seemed to have been hit by something, and it was as soft as a sheet.
She hurriedly grabbed Rong Xiu''s hand. "Here, here! It moved just now!"
Rong Xiu moved his hand over and pressed it against her skin under her thin shirt.
There was no movement.
Chu Liuyue was speechless.
Rong Xiu raised his brows. "They''re already biased to their mother?"
