Minglong

Chapter 461 A happy event at home
Jiang Xian walked out of the Marquis's mansion and along the street for a short distance when she discovered that the gate of the nearby Princess's mansion was still open, and two figures were standing outside.

Among them, the ugly steward with a pointed mouth and monkey-like cheeks tugged at the sleeve of the Taoist robe of Li Chimo, the head of Xuanhu Temple, and kept babbling:

"Master Li, don't leave yet! This house is really haunted. A few days ago, I was taking a walk when I was suddenly kicked by something and flew dozens of miles away. That thing almost scared me to death..."

"Is that so? Steward Hou is still alive, which is quite fortunate. The Imperial Observatory has important matters to attend to, I..."

"What? Is Master Li in such a hurry to go back and be with his mistress?"

"..."

Li Chimo's eye twitched, and he raised his hand to point at Steward Hou. Considering that the steward had saved the emperor's life, he ultimately held back.
"Old Master Hou is joking. What were the circumstances that day?"

Butler Hou stroked his mustache and thought carefully:
"That day I was talking to Liu Qingzhi about that little brat who just arrived at the Marquis's mansion. Don't let her appearance fool you; she's barely as tall as a lump of coal when she stands up straight. She has a terrible temper, and her eyesight is awful. She called me an ugly monster right off the bat..."

Li Chimo was too lazy to listen to the rambling of this mentally unstable butler. He casually glanced at the street scene with his hands in his sleeves, originally looking for an excuse to leave, but unexpectedly a voice suddenly came from beside him:
"If I weren't so young, I would definitely... ahh ...

A short, sharp scream faded into the distance, then silence fell instantly...

"Ok?"

Li Chimo turned around and saw that the doorway was empty. He looked around but couldn't find Steward Hou either. He frowned and became more respectful, bowing to the four directions.

"Who is this esteemed senior who graces this place with their presence? Would you be so kind as to show yourself for a chat?"

There was no response from the surroundings.

Jiang Xian, who had been secretly observing with gritted teeth, suddenly found herself inside the Princess's residence. Her backache worsened, and she almost fell to the ground because she couldn't stand properly.

"Hey?"

Jiang Xian was baffled. She was wondering what was going on when she looked up and saw the Sect Leader Nangong and the Princess walking together in the corridor ahead.

Overjoyed at this, she immediately put aside the matter of teleportation and, leaning against the wall, limped over to the vicinity.
"Your Highness, Senior Nangong..."

In the corridor, Zhao Ling, dressed as a female warrior in a veiled hat and left-side leather armor, was ready to set off. She was discussing with Aunt Nangong whether to tell Xie Jinhuan about the theft of the Valkyrie's mansion and ask him to help reconcile with the Valkyrie.

Nangong Ye was supposed to leave during the day, but this matter delayed him for a day. He had just been communicating with Li Chimo to see if there was any way to send him back, but unfortunately, the one who tied the knot must untie it, and even Senior Brother Lu couldn't do anything about it.

Suddenly hearing Jiang Xian's call, Nangong Ye was slightly startled. He turned around and saw that Xiao Biao was leaning against the wall as she walked, unsteady on her feet. He quickly came to her side to help her up.
"Miss Jiang? Where have you been? Why are you so tired?"

Jiang Xian didn't know what she had gone to do either, so she just gave a casual explanation:
"I was running errands and rushed around a bit, but it's alright, I'll be fine after a rest..."

As they were talking, Jiang Xian steadied herself by supporting Nangong Ye's arm, and suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Jiang Xian grasped her wrist and examined it carefully. Then she looked at the aloof and detached sect leader in front of her, her red lips slightly parted, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

Nangong Ye, seeing this scene, looked slightly puzzled:

"what's wrong?"

"Uh……"

For some reason, Jiang Xian felt that the Daoist sect leader, Nangong, who was a beautiful maiden, seemed to be pregnant!
But the feeling was too faint, and normally, even if the third-in-command of the Dan Ding Sect, who was known as the Ice Fairy, had fallen in love with mortals, she shouldn't have gotten pregnant.

After all, private affairs can be concealed, but a big belly can't be hidden. If word gets out, she'll probably be even more of a laughingstock than Li Chimo.

Jiang Xian was unsure, and after hesitating for a long time, she tentatively inquired:
"Sect Leader Nangong, do you feel anything is wrong with your body?"

Nangong Ye was puzzled. Although he did not notice anything unusual about his body, he still closed his eyes and examined his physique internally, beginning a system self-check.

And when I looked inside, it was astonishing!
Although his physical body and spirit were normal, there were very subtle changes in his Yin Yuan acupoints. It seemed that something unknown was gathering and condensing in his lower abdomen, gestating...

ha? !

Nangong Ye was shocked, his eyes filled with disbelief, and he thought to himself:
I am...

This is impossible!

I used to be very careful, but every time...

Could it be that he was so drunk he forgot to use protection...?

Impossible, impossible, how could you forget that? You'd have to be driven mad by something...

……

Nangong Ye thought it was a misjudgment and checked again carefully, but no matter how you looked at the signs, she was pregnant with that kid's baby.

Getting pregnant is a good thing, but Qingmo still thinks she's pure and innocent, and Senior Brother Lu has high hopes for her. If the truth comes out...

Perhaps overwhelmed with joy, Nangong Ye froze for a moment, then his eyes rolled back and he fell backward...

"Eh?"

Zhao Ling walked up to her, still wondering what Aunt Nangong was doing, when she suddenly found that the other woman had fallen asleep. Startled, she quickly helped her up.

"What's wrong with Aunt Nangong?"

Jiang Xian was also very shocked, but fortunately she understood the reason, and quickly helped him into the house:
"He's probably just exhausted from overwork. He doesn't seem to be in any serious condition. Let's take him back to his room..."

Zhao Ling also took Nangong Ye's pulse to examine his physical condition, but the initial reaction was too subtle to detect anything unusual. So, they took Nangong Ye back to his room first...
-
Meanwhile, at Crescent Moon Manor.

As the moon rose above the trees, the vast manor was brightly lit, with many disciples moving about, preparing for the various tasks assigned by the manor lord.

Inside the sect leader's residence at the back of the manor, Xie Jinhuan, unaware of the good news at home, sat upright at the table, recounting the events of the day:
"That rabbit spirit should be hiding in the Chilong Cave. We might not know if Sikong Tianyuan is there. Let's go check it out together tomorrow..."

Bu Yuehua sat beside him, dressed in the attire of a sect leader. Her dark green dress, adorned with silver ornaments, exuded an air of elegance and grace. She did not resemble a witch from the witch cult, but rather a highly respected sect leader's wife.

However, the way he seemed to be listening attentively while his hands were fidgeting under the table really didn't look like a proper sect leader.

shhhhhh...

The Shadowless Palm of Crescent Moon Manor...

Empress Dowager Guo sat opposite, her eyes extremely cautious. She would glance at the slightest movement outside, seemingly traumatized by the old devil Gao. Upon hearing the sound, she responded:

“I don’t know if Master Qixia can still make a move. Although Sikong Tianyuan is a rising star, his cultivation over a century is not low. I suspect he has other plans for suddenly trying to win you over. Be careful in your future actions and don’t be careless.” “Understood…”

……

Bu Yuehua watched the two of them talking back and forth. Her hands were getting a little sore from working for so long. She really wanted to find a different way to finish the job quickly, but after learning her lesson last time, her master had already learned his lesson.

If the commotion is too great, it will be difficult to conceal Qixia Zhenren's intrusion. However, in this serious meeting, she can easily restore the situation with a simple gesture if there is any disturbance.

Although it's not easy to get caught in the act, the progress is really slow. With Xie Jinhuan's skill, he could probably play with her all night. Wanyi and the others are still waiting eagerly.

Bu Yuehua wanted to do something exciting and take down Ah Huan, but she didn't want to tell her suspicious master. She was secretly worried, but luckily there were more than three people in the room.

Ye Hongshang was watching the show while perched on Ah Huan's back. Finding the bland and uninteresting meal rather dull, he decided to offer his help.

Then, the absent-minded Empress Dowager Guo heard the whispers of the gods:
"then."

Empress Dowager Guo was taken aback, but without any suspicion, she reached under the table to search.

?

Bu Yuehua was busy when she noticed that her master, this little glutton, had run ahead of her. She was genuinely surprised, but being very understanding, she took his hand and they went together...

? ?
Xie Jinhuan held the teacup, pretending to drink tea, but then realized something was wrong. He glanced down at it, then looked at Sister Guo, who was standing right next to him, his eyes filled with flattery and surprise.

When Empress Dowager Guo found nothing, her bright eyes were filled with confusion, as if to say, "What's wrong with you? Where's the stuff?"
Faced with that demanding gaze, Xie Jinhuan opened his mouth but didn't know what to say. Fortunately, he immediately heard the ghost wife's whisper in his ear:

"Tell her she was frightened and to stay still."

Xie Jinhuan knew from this that it was the ghost causing trouble. He felt somewhat helpless, but since the words were already on the tip of his tongue, he repeated them anyway:
"I was startled, wait a moment... don't worry, I'll be right there..."

"..."

Empress Dowager Guo blinked, thinking she had been too sudden, and didn't say anything. She wanted to pull her hand back, but Ah Huan was jumping around, and she was worried about missing the opportunity, so she gritted her teeth and didn't move.

And so the wait went on for a very, very long time...

……

But in other parts of the resort.

After Lin Zisu ran back, she hid in her room early because she was worried about being scolded for running around aimlessly.

Ye Yunchi had trouble sleeping that night, but having just arrived at Queyue Manor, he knew Xie Jinhuan would definitely have to accompany Doctor Lin tonight. It would be too blatant for her to steal the host's lover, so he took Coal Ball and wandered around the manor, checking out the various strange and unusual buildings and facilities of the Gu Poison Sect.

As for Lin Wanyi and Linghu Qingmo, they were bickering as usual.

As the young mistress, Lin Wanyi's residence was arranged on the mountaintop, where she could overlook the entire manor through the window.

Upon returning to the sect for the first time, Lin Wanyi changed into her priestess attire. Tall and slender with a large bust and long legs, she looked quite stunning. Standing at the window, surveying the entire manor, she asked with her head held high:
"How is it? Is it big?"

Linghu Qingmo, dressed in a snow-white dress, holding her sword and revealing a large bracelet on her wrist, said disdainfully:
"The Zihui Mountains stretch for seven hundred miles, and this is just one mountain peak. What's there to brag about?"

Lin Wanyi shook her head, then raised her head high and straightened her back once more:

"I'm asking about this outfit, whether it shows off your figure?"

"..."

That's really big...

Linghu Qingmo wasn't young either, but Wanyi was at home, practically all about numbers and no action. She was just asking for trouble compared to them, and gave a soft hum.

"Who's like you, thinking about these things all day long?"

Lin Wanyi walked up to her, rested her buttocks on the windowsill, and teased:

"Still pretending? You think I don't know you went out with Xie Jinhuan that night..."

? !
Linghu Qingmo's heart skipped a beat, and he straightened up a bit:

"I...I went out to investigate a case, what did you think I was doing?"

Lin Wanyi wasn't stupid. Just by looking at Linghu Qingmo's expression when he returned, she knew that nothing serious had happened that night. Now, she leaned closer:
"Investigating a case? What methods were used? How deep was it?"

Linghu Qingmo understood instantly, his face flushed red, and he raised his hand to slap Lin Wanyi's butt:

"You're a young woman, aren't you ashamed to say such things? It's simply..."

Lin Wanyi was actually quite shy, but if she chickened out when the two of them were alone, wouldn't she be overshadowed by this young Taoist nun? Therefore, she didn't care at all.

"We've played together before, what's there to hide? Are you afraid to admit it?"

When Xie Jinhuan returned from Dragon Bone Beach, Linghu Qingmo was fiercely protective of his food, while Wanyi watched from the side. They did end up playing around together.

But Xie Jinhuan was there then. Now, with two women together, what kind of talk is this? Linghu Qingmo didn't reply, but just looked away and ignored her.

Seeing this, Lin Wanyi didn't waste any more words. After all, Linghu Qingmo was standing there and wouldn't leave, clearly wanting to steal the man. There would be plenty of time to argue later. So she went back to the tea table and sat down to drink tea.

Linghu Qingmo felt much calmer now. He crossed his arms and continued to survey the area below the manor, wondering what Xie Jinhuan, the Valkyrie, and Senior Bu had been talking about inside the house for so long...

Last time she accompanied me during practice, although the process was embarrassing to talk about, the progress was so exciting that I couldn't stop. After a few more times, I reckon she'll be able to reach the super grade...

But judging from Wanyi's attitude, she's definitely going to monopolize him tonight. She can't very well do something so shameful in front of others...

How can I abduct that pervert...?

After much longing and contemplation, Xie Jinhuan finally appeared in the corridor inside the villa.

Linghu Qingmo's eyes lit up. He glanced back and quietly walked out without making a sound.

Lin Wanyi, who was also thinking about that big jerk, immediately got up and followed Linghu Qingmo after discovering he had run away...
