Chapter 373 Murdering Husband
He sighed inwardly, reached out and pulled her into his arms, resting his chin on the top of her head, and said with a complicated expression, "Yue'er, I know you feel wronged, and I also know that Father did wrong, and I have never agreed with his actions. But Father is old-fashioned, stubborn, and very old-fashioned. Once he has made up his mind, it is almost impossible to change it."

At this point, he lowered his eyes to look at the female in his arms and said cautiously, "Yue'er, after all, you have a special identity, and you come from another world, and you are in this body. It is normal for your father not to accept it for a while. He will definitely like the two children. Dragon offspring are rare and hard to come by. Yao'er and Xiao'er are his own grandchildren. How could your father not like them? The reason why he has not come is simply because he is too proud to do so."

He looked very nervous, and he had to muster up his courage to say those words, for fear that Yue'er would be angry if she heard them.

It may sound harsh, but it's the truth. One of the main reasons the father couldn't accept Yue'er was because Yue'er's soul seemed to have come from nowhere and had taken over someone else's body.

Su Xiyue stiffened slightly, but remained silent without saying a word.

Xuan Yuanming could clearly feel her sudden tension. He tightened his grip on her arm and lowered his voice, saying, "I'm not saying Father is right, but... put yourself in his shoes. If I were Father, and I were suddenly told that the partner my son had chosen was a stranger with a different soul in his body, even if the original owner was long gone, I would find it hard to accept it immediately. I would even feel fear and rejection."

The reason he didn't feel that way was because he understood Yue'er and had already fallen in love with her, so of course he wouldn't feel fear or rejection.

But her father didn't understand Yue'er, had no feelings for her, and had never even formally met her, so it was normal for him to have such emotions and attitudes.

Su Xiyue's tense body gradually relaxed.

She had to admit that what Xuanyuan Ming said made a lot of sense.

Putting yourself in her shoes, if she were Xuan Yuanhao, her reaction would probably be even more intense.

"you're right."

She sighed softly, her voice lowering, "I was too impulsive."

Xuan Yuanming breathed a sigh of relief and hugged her even tighter: "Yue'er, the fact that Father took the initiative to send gifts this time shows that his attitude has softened. Let's take it slow, okay?"

She was silent for a moment and nodded.

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside the courtyard.

Xuanfeng rushed in: "Sister Xiyue, those two dragon-orcs put down the box and left, but... but..."

"But what?"

Su Xiyue asked in confusion.

“But they said the clan chief would come in three days to see the two dragon cubs.”

Xuanfeng took a couple of breaths and said directly.

Her expression was complicated. Was Xuanyuan Hao coming to see his grandson?

Honestly, she hadn't figured out how to face this person yet.

But if they say they want to come see their grandson, refusing at this point would seem unreasonable.

Xuanyuan Ming saw her struggle and gently comforted her, "Yue'er, don't be afraid, I'm here for you."

His voice seemed to have a magical power, calming the restlessness in her heart.

"Forget it, just come."

Su Xiyue sighed softly and stepped out of his embrace.

Since Xuan Yuanhao is willing to take this step, she won't be ungrateful.

For the sake of her two children, and for the sake of Xuanyuan Ming, she was willing to try to reconcile with this stubborn dragon clan leader.

To avoid making things difficult for Xuanyuan Ming in the middle.

"Moon, I'm sorry to have wronged you."

Xuanyuan Ming looked very guilty, knowing that Yue'er was willing to compromise for his and their two children's sake. He was so moved that he was about to say something sentimental or cloyingly sweet.

She quickly grabbed an egg, peeled it in a few swift movements, and used it to shut him up. "Stop it. I'm tired of hearing mushy things. Let's eat breakfast first."

As she spoke, she turned around and extinguished the fire in the stove, ladling the beef porridge from the pot into a basin. "You all forget about time when you're cultivating, and no one has made breakfast. The kids are so hungry they're eating raw meat."

Xuanyuan Ming's mouth was suddenly stuffed with eggs, and he could only blink as he watched her busy herself.

He swallowed the egg in a few bites and leaned over to help, "Yue'er, let me do it."

Su Xiyue glanced at him and said, "Stop being so attentive, go and call them to eat."

Xuanyuan Ming touched his nose, chuckled softly in response, and turned to go to the main room.

He was too lazy to knock on each door individually, so he just sent a group message: "Get out here and eat! Have you forgotten about time while you're cultivating? No breakfast made, no one to take care of the kids, are you trying to work Yue'er to death or something?"

His tone carried three parts anger, three parts dissatisfaction, and four parts heartache.

The sound instantly exploded in the minds of Ye Ling, Mo Lin, Bai Qi, Qing Zhu, Xuan Ming, and Feng Su.

The few people still cultivating: "."

They all stopped cultivating, their expressions showing a hint of guilt. It seemed they had indeed overdone it and lost track of time.

Ye Ling was the first to push open the door and come out, her body still carrying the lingering spiritual energy fluctuations. Her silver eyes flashed with a hint of embarrassment. "Is it already dawn? It feels like I've only been in meditation for a short while."

"Not long?"

Xuan Yuanming sneered, his dark golden eyes narrowing dangerously, "Your three brats are so hungry they're about to overturn the kitchen."

Ye Ling: “.”

With a creak, Qingzhu floated down the stairs from the second floor, her body radiating spiritual energy, making her look even more ethereal, giving off a sense of wanting to ride the wind and return home.

His voice remained as cold and indifferent as ever, "Mortals are such a hassle. It seems I need to cultivate to the Foundation Establishment stage as soon as possible so I can abstain from grains and avoid wasting time on these trivial matters that would affect my cultivation."

For some reason, he suddenly didn't want a child as much anymore. It wasn't that he didn't like children, but mainly that taking care of them would take too much time and would interfere with his cultivation.

No sooner had he finished speaking than a rag was suddenly thrown from the direction of the kitchen, hitting him squarely on his handsome, otherworldly face.

Qingzhu's ethereal image crumbled instantly. She expressionlessly ripped the rag off her face, her emerald eyes gleaming coldly as she stared into the kitchen. "Murdering her husband?"

Mo Lin and Bai Qi came out of their respective rooms and witnessed the spectacular scene of Qing Zhu being hit in the face with a rag.

"Serves you right for pretending."

Mo Lin's demeanor grew increasingly cold and aloof, like an unyielding block of ice. A gloating smile curled at the corner of his lips as he uttered a rare, sarcastic remark.

Bai Qi looked at her with an increasingly otherworldly and refined air. Although she did not look as ethereal as Qingzhu, she was more gentle and approachable. "Qingzhu's ethereal qualities are quite unique."

Little Yue'er is so funny! She flicked the rag at Qingzhu's face, let's see if the bamboo can still pretend.

If you're so brave, then never eat again, and you even talk about fasting!

Qingzhu coldly tossed the rag aside: "It's better than some people who say one thing to your face and another behind your back."

"Shut up, everyone."

Ye Ling narrowed her silver eyes, exuding the aura of a domineering CEO. "That's enough for today. From now on, whoever's turn to cook, should go to the kitchen themselves. By the way, who's it today?"

Mo Lin coldly uttered two words, "show-off".

Ye Ling nodded slightly, not caring where Feng Su had gone or why she hadn't made breakfast; she figured she had simply forgotten about it while cultivating.

After breakfast.

Su Xiyue instructed Mo Lin to take several orcs to husk all ten baskets of corn from the warehouse and dry them while the weather was good.

After drying, some of the seeds are kept as seeds, half are kept for personal consumption, and the rest is ground into corn flour to make cornbread.

As for carrots, although they are easy to store, they can spoil easily if left for too long.

Then he had Qingzhu distribute the carrots sent by the Rabbit Tribe to each household, so that each family could keep them for themselves or plant them in their backyard vegetable garden.

Of course, they should leave a basket for themselves to eat.

As for the ten baskets of silkworm silk sent by the insect tribe, they were all moved to the east wing of the courtyard, where a loom was placed.

It's the one Bai Qi originally brought from Beast King City, which Su Xiyue later improved and now works very well.

She decided to try and see if she could weave the silk into soft cloth.

Mo Lin responded and stepped out of the courtyard. He called a few orcs from the tribe and led them to the warehouse to peel corn and dry it in the sun.

Although Qingzhu didn't want to waste time on these trivial matters, she didn't refuse. She went from house to house distributing carrots and immediately told each family to plant their own vegetables in their backyard garden.

Su Xiyue acted immediately. After finishing her work, she went to the east wing to study weaving.

Ye Ling, Bai Qi, Xuan Ming, Feng Su, and Xuan Yuanming, being grown men, knew nothing about such delicate work and couldn't help, so they simply watched from the sidelines and looked after the kids.

Actually, they wanted to go back to their rooms to cultivate, but they were afraid that Yue'er would scold them for not caring about their children.

Around noon, Xuanfeng came to report that the elders of various tribes had come, bringing with them many females, saying that they wanted to determine the number of blue bricks to be used to build houses next year.

As for the females they brought, it was said they were there to learn how to cook in the wolf tribe.

Su Xiyue looked at Xuan Feng, "Where are they?"

"The chief is entertaining guests in the reception hall. He asked me to inform you to go there. As for the females that the elders brought, the chief has already sent Jinyu to teach them how to cook with the tribe's females."

Xuanfeng said truthfully.

"I see."

She nodded slightly, put down the half-finished cloth she was weaving, and got up to lead a few men to the reception hall.
