In the simple yet elegant courtyard, Wu Ning leaned against the pillar of the pavilion with his arms crossed in front of his chest, looking as lazy as ever. However, the way he looked at his wife, Huangfu Duanrong, was slightly puzzled.
Huangfu Duanrong, who was lying on the bed of fragrant concubine, muttered to herself about what was happening outside. It was about Niu Youde, but they had been husband and wife for many years. Wuning clearly sensed that Huangfu Duanrong seemed to be trying to hide her restlessness.
She mentioned Niu Youde a little too many times … Wu Ning muttered in his heart and frowned slightly. He began to sort out his thoughts, sorting out the situation every time his wife mentioned Niu Youde. He did not know if he remembered wrongly, but it seemed that every time his wife mentioned Niu Youde, there would be some abnormalities. With that train of thought, it seemed that his daughter had the same symptoms.
Wu Ning leisurely walked to the side of the bed and slowly sat down beside his wife, who was tossing and turning from time to time. He placed his hand on her slender waist and chuckled. "It's not surprising that Niu Youde has this kind of trouble. He participated in the coup, took in 50 million troops, seized power in Heavenly Street, and even wanted the Vital Energy Sect to start anew. He did so many things in such a short time. Which one of them is trivial? He hasn't even digested a single one of them, yet he keeps asking for more. He's too greedy. He's trying to eat until he's fat.
Who else can he take care of if not others? "Huangfu Duanrong looked at him." Do you think he can escape this time? "
She might not have realized that she was a little too concerned about Niu Youde. Wu Ning stared at her deeply, then calmly looked outside the pavilion. "I don't know, but he's a person who has done extraordinary things time and time again. He can't be judged with common sense. Speaking of which, if it wasn't for his identity and background, I think he and Y would be more suitable. Y? Y is quite suitable. "
As he said that, his hand on his wife's waist clearly felt his wife's waist tremble. He looked into the distance with a worried gaze.
"What nonsense are you talking about? How can they be suitable?" Huangfu Duanrong said this, but she was secretly observing his reaction through her slightly closed eyes.
Between the couple, it was unknown who was testing who …
Ji Meili leaned against the door frame with one hand on her waist and the other on her elbow, which was holding a cup of tea to her lips. It was drizzling outside the building and the leaves in the courtyard were washed with a fresh green color that was pleasing to the eye.
This was a planet with abundant rain, and the rainy season occupied most of the time. Perhaps it was annoying, but she liked the feeling of the world often being washed clean. Hiding in the small building, the world was hazy, and she could enjoy the scenery as if she were an outsider.
She pondered over her own identity. She was Miao Yi's concubine, one of his concubines. The two of them had been intimate before. Even though it wasn't a lot, she couldn't help but admit that she liked the feeling of pleasure. That natural release was very pleasurable, as though it was a part of her soul.
Sometimes, when she woke up from a dream, she would find a lonely person by her pillow. She would even feel a little disappointed, silently thinking how good it would be if that person was by her side at this moment.
But she didn't want to see him. She didn't know whether she liked Miao Yi or not. When she didn't see him, she would miss him, but when she saw him, she would reject him. Miao Yi made her feel very complicated.
Her background might not be much in the outside world, but the truth was that she had an extraordinary background. In her early years, she never thought that she would one day become someone's concubine. She longed for a beautiful love and a perfect husband, but she never thought that she would one day become someone's concubine.
Miao Yi killed her close family, and then her close family forced her to become his concubine. In the end, Miao Yi imprisoned her close family in hell, and then her close family told her to please Miao Yi. Please him? She really didn't know how to please such an abnormal relationship.
On the day she found out that Miao Yi had sentenced Zhuge Qing to death, she woke up from a nightmare in the middle of the night. When she abruptly sat up on the bed, she was sweating profusely and gasping for breath. Outside the window, the wind and rain swayed and lightning flashed. Her eyes were filled with fear. She stared at it with widened eyes and shrank into a corner, as though she was afraid that something would crawl in through the window. She stayed up until dawn, not daring to close the window that had been blown open by the wind.
She was only one of Miao Yi's concubines. Her status wasn't much higher than Zhuge Qing's. Zhuge Qing's beauty was even better than hers. She had seen him many years ago. She didn't know if Miao Yi would kill her with a savage look on his face, just like in her nightmares.
She didn't know how much she weighed in Miao Yi's heart. In fact, she really wanted to know, but there was no way to measure such things.
She also didn't know if she was worth anything in Miao Yi's heart. However, Miao Yi treated her well. He didn't lack her money, nor did he lack her cultivation resources. He always provided her with whatever he needed to provide. He never stopped, nor did he decrease the amount of resources he provided her. Perhaps this was the life that many female cultivators yearned for. It was just that the two of them rarely met.
She was only a concubine. Whether it was in name or in reality, whether she was willing or not, she was his woman for the rest of her life. When it came to the relationship between a man and a woman, she didn't have any other feelings for Miao Yi. If she was his woman, she would be his woman. She couldn't deny this fact.
So she kept an eye on Miao Yi's movements. Even though she knew that Miao Yi wouldn't necessarily think of her, she couldn't help but keep an eye on him. She quietly listened to all the rumors about Miao Yi, and watched as he made his way here. She was nervous, worried, surprised, and shocked. She knew that Miao Yi would be facing a huge pressure this time.
But she also knew that all her attention to him was unnecessary.
So she liked the feeling she had right now. Hiding in a small building in the drizzling rain, she could enjoy the view from the outside. Perhaps it was a little lonely, and she could only drink a cup of tea to make herself appear as relaxed as possible …
"Senior Sister, how much longer do we have to wait? Why don't we leave first? Master has set a deadline. I still want to take a look around Heaven Street."
On a mountain peak, a girl in a long pink and white dress stood by the cliff. One of the two girls under a tree not far away shouted towards the cliff.
The girl at the cliff turned her head and smiled faintly. "Let's wait a little longer. Senior Brother said he'll be here soon."
The other two girls covered their mouths and snickered. No one knew what they were whispering about.
The girl standing by the cliff smiled bitterly. She knew they were talking about her.
Her name was Zhuo Xianglian, and she was a disciple of the Heaven Valley Faction. Although she wasn't a stunning beauty, she was still pretty. Her facial features were exquisite, her figure was slim, and she had a gentle temperament.
In the Heaven Valley Faction, her cultivation level wasn't considered low. She was originally focused on cultivation and had no interest in the affairs of men and women. Of course, she didn't reject it and just let nature take its course. Until one day, her Master came forward to matchmake her with Eldest Senior Brother Song Da. She admired Eldest Senior Brother quite a bit, so she didn't object and tried dating for a few years. Everything went well, and she just waited for her Master to choose a date for them to get married.
The other two girls beside her were her Senior Sister and Junior Sister. The Senior Sister's name was Chang Hongmei, and the Junior Sister's name was Duan Ai 'er. Zhuo Xianglian and Eldest Senior Brother's relationship was open to the public, and there was nothing shameful about it. However, her fellow disciples liked to tease her about it. Zhuo Xianglian was helpless, but she was used to it.
It was at this moment that several figures shot through the air. One of them was a tall and stalwart man. His features were honest and sincere, and he exuded a heroic spirit. He looked into Zhuo Xianglian's eyes and smiled.
"Eldest Senior Brother is here," Duan Ai 'er called out. She and Chang Hongmei smiled and walked over to greet him.
Song Da returned the greeting and smiled. "Where are you guys going?"
Zhuo Xianglian said softly, "Master wants us to go to Sky Street to buy some things."
Duan Ai 'er immediately interrupted. "Eldest Senior Brother, in order to wait for you, we've delayed our trip to Sky Street. You have to compensate us. Pay up!"
"Ai 'er!" Zhuo Xianglian turned around and glared at her.
Duan Ai 'er immediately giggled. "Senior Sister, you haven't even married Eldest Senior Brother yet, and you're already protecting him."
Zhuo Xianglian didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Haha!" Song Da laughed heartily and flicked his finger. A Storage Ring flew out. "Take it!"
Duan Ai 'er took it and examined it. She looked very satisfied and said happily, "Thank you, Eldest Senior Brother!" She quickly put it away.
Chang Hongmei shook her head helplessly.
Zhuo Xianglian's gaze returned to Song Da's face. "Did your trip go well?"
"There were some twists and turns. I almost got lost in an unknown galaxy. But it's considered part of your training. Overall, it went well." After a brief summary, Song Da took out a hairpin and handed it over. "I saw a strange tree, so I cut off a part of it to make a hairpin. See if you like it."
Everyone's gaze immediately fell on the hairpin. It was as white as jade, and there seemed to be traces of red blood in its translucent bones. There were a few delicate white leaves on it, and it was indeed a tree branch. It had only been slightly trimmed to maintain its general shape. It had a different kind of beauty to it. Although it had only been lightly trimmed, it was obvious that Song Da had put in a lot of effort into it.
"Wow, what a beautiful hairpin!" Duan Ai 'er reached out to snatch it.
Chang Hongmei grabbed her wrist and pulled it back. She glared at her and scolded, "Don't mess around."
Zhuo Xianglian took the hairpin and nodded. "I like it. Thank you, Senior Brother."
"Let me help you put it on." Song Da took it back and looked at it carefully. He inserted the hairpin into Zhuo Xianglian's bun and took a step back to admire it. He nodded and said, "It looks good."
There were others around, so Zhuo Xianglian was a little shy.
Duan Ai 'er sniffed and said in surprise, "What a comfortable fragrance. Is it from the hairpin?"
Zhuo Xianglian and Chang Hongmei also smelled a faint fragrance. Although it was light, it was enough to make them feel refreshed.
Song Da nodded and said, "That's right. It's the natural fragrance of the tree. I think it suits you, Junior Sister. I just don't know if you like it. After all, it's just something you plucked casually. It's not worth much."
Zhuo Xianglian said shyly, "I like it."
Chang Hongmei said, "Senior Brother, we received orders from Master to go to Sky Street. Why don't you come back and talk?"
Song Da smiled. "Alright! I need to report to Master too. Be careful on the way. "
"Then we'll go first." Zhuo Xianglian said goodbye and flew away with her Senior Sister and Junior Sister.
