milies associated with sorcery to barren lands, far from the Central Plains. He also constantly sends various mages to build mountain barriers, confining our territory tightly within this area.”"...So...What is a child doing sneaking around like that

This building complex, though extensive, felt like an empty city. Besides us, there was no one else around. Every word we spoke seemed to echo loudly, and he even worried about being overheard.

I hesitated for a moment, holding the soup and slowly making my way towards him.

"What's the matter... acting all shady..." I leaned against a pillar, sipping my soup and asking.

The little boy looked around. Besides the wind, there was no other living being near. He whispered, “The celestial deity Jun's state of divine decree has been lifted, and he is beginning to regain consciousness. In about six hours, he should be able to fully recover his thoughts.”

"This is a good thing, why are you whispering it to me" I asked in bewilderment.

“Didn’t you forget whose territory we are on right now The witch promised to remove the extreme yin Qi and the influence of the miasma from Lord Ji Du Xing, but I just went around, and I didn't find anything particularly spiritual or special about this side of the First Floor. I suspect she might go to the Second Floor, even the Third Floor.” The little boy said excitedly.

I sat up, frowning and asked, "What do you want"

“That’s the closest territory to the Divine Witch! Even in the Nine Heavens, the Ten Witches of Ling Mountain are a legendary group. They possess divine power but prefer to stay in the mortal world, helping people counter the forces of nature. To be able to see their fairyland up close would be incredibly difficult…”

"So you're finally going back to brag to the other worlds, are you" I heard the undertone in his voice.

The little boy chuckled: "Know your enemy and yourself, and you will win a hundred battles!"

What does it mean

The little boy whispered, "If the Star Jun of Jiedu recovers his senses and joins forces with Luo Hu Star Jun, causing a commotion here, it should attract most of the attention of the Wugū. I finally understand, she's going to great lengths to keep Mu Wanchen, but she doesn't really care about the lives of others."

Mu Wanchen does bear some responsibility, and there's the matter of blood ties. Though he wouldn't want to stay, it's not easy for him to simply break off relations—after all, we're on their turf. Witch Gu is just one of the Ten Witches of Ling Shan. If all ten witches were to arrive, we wouldn't stand a chance against them.

"So, what do you guys want To make a scene and let me and Mu Wanting leave first" I heard the little boy's meaning.

The little boy nodded. "Our goal for this trip was to retrieve the Star Lord of Ji Dou and Mu Wanchen, and now we've accomplished half of it. The rest is to retreat quickly—as long as we can get back to that coastline, I'll have a way."

He patted his large gourd.

What can we do

"Hee hee, there's a universe inside the gourd, a wonderful secret of the immortals, it can't be described." The little boy proudly rubbed his nose and then whispered: "Just figure out a way to let Mu Wanchen go to the coast with you. Don't worry about us, we'll find an opportunity to slip away."

"Do you think Mu Wanchen will be reluctant" I frowned slightly. Mu Wanchen's situation is very tangled.

Now both sides are populated, he will worry about the other side wherever he is, and this is where their witch clan's beliefs lie. Whether he can come back after leaving is also a mystery.

The Tombs' methods should be the final passageway that remains for witch tribes in this mortal world, perhaps it will be difficult to return after leaving.

Perhaps Mu Wanchen will hesitate or feel reluctant to part.

If it were only me and Mu Wanchen, I might respect his choice and go wherever he goes.

But now it's not just the two of us, we also have a baby waiting to be born.

Giving birth in a familiar place would definitely make me feel secure. Here... I don't know what kind of unexpected situations I might encounter.

"It's not that I think Mu Wanchen would be reluctant to leave, after all, with you here, his heart is with you." The little boy spoke in a voice like an old man: "People say women in the world are infatuated, but actually, men when they become infatuated, are no less so."

I gave him a withering glance. I almost retorted, "What do you kids know" But I thought better of it. In the eyes of this child, my lifespan would probably be just a blink or the time it takes to eat a candied hawthorn.

"...I'll take care of Mu Wanchen here. He said he'd go back with me, so there shouldn't be any changes." I glanced worriedly towards the east kitchen.

Mu Wanchen had already seen me talking to the little boy here. He didn't bother to come over either, leaning against the door, eyes closed and silent.

It's as if I can hear the wind whispering.

Such a lonely silhouette is heartbreaking.

If I hadn't been there, he wouldn't have found himself in this predicament, would he

"...Without you, we might not have been able to survive even a natural disaster."

Mu Wanchen glanced at me faintly and said from afar, "Come here."

I winked at the child, and he nodded silently, whispering, "Remember, first go to the beach with your idea."

I blinked to show I understood.

Holding my bowl, I slowly strolled back, raising an eyebrow and saying, "What's the matter, Witch King Don't you even let people whisper a few words"

"I called you over for soup, and the one in your bowl is cold now You were holding the bowl but only focused on talking Do you still have a point" He took the bowl from my hand and refilled it.

Even though you rarely cook, you can't force me to finish all of this! " I giggled and hugged his waist.

Well, it feels good.

He is really tall, making me feel like a dwarf!

Although I'm not very tall... this height difference is just too cute.

Aren't idol dramas all about tiptoe kisses I tip-toe and look up, but I can only hit his chin—if he doesn't lower his head.

Every time he kissed her, he would slightly bend his lithe waist and lower his head, tilting it ever so slightly. Then, with the utmost gentleness, he would give a feather-light peck. Even under the sheets, he remained so “restrained and courteous”.

He was holding a bowl of soup in one hand and a wooden spoon in the other, and he had to lower his head to kiss. It was so adorable that I couldn't help but hug him around the waist and watch him make a slight expression of helplessness.

If we had our own home, could this kind of life become a daily routine

I've never really considered owning my own little house, living self-sufficiently, and being a bit of a nuisance every day, asking someone else to do chores in exchange for a meal.

“If we could go back in time, I would study hard and learn how to make money!” I blurted out the sentence, surprised by myself.

Do I make money What kind of money can this invisible spendthrift make School being allowed to stay open is already burning incense.

"Don't you know you are useless, little princess" Mu Wanchen chuckled and used his chin to nudge my head, signaling me to let go of him.

I let go of my hand, pouted and sat back at the dinner table, muttering softly: "My senior brother Jun wouldn't possibly force me to leave with nothing, would he At least give me some dowry..."

"Didn't your senior brother give you all his money"

"This…" My god, thinking about that huge sum of money, I estimate I'll never be able to pay it back in my lifetime.

I slumped onto the table, deflated: "Then I'll go find Master Yunfan and learn how to make money..."

Mu Wanchen leaned down slightly and got closer to me: "You should go find Mu Xia Qiao first."

"...Little junior wife What are you looking for her to do"

"Learn from her how to be a mother."

“...”

“...”

I stared at him, and he looked back at me.

"The data says that after three months, the baby position will be stable!"

"And then"

"...No need to be so careful anymore!"

Mu Wanchen chuckled softly, his eyes filled with a tender affection as he looked at me. My face flushed...This strange kind of "beauty" was a bit overwhelming for me—wo outcomes: severing ties to dissipate karmic consequences, or dying without rest and continuing into the next cycle.I was just about to say forget it and go back, when suddenly a wave of goosebumps...
