Fairy, please have some self-respect. I am not the reincarnation of your deceased husband.

Chapter 119 Pei Wanyun's Firm Resolve

What's wrong with you?

Pei Wanyun looked at the suddenly excited little creature in her arms and gently stroked its back: "Was that fox special?"

"Meow!"

Xueyan nodded hurriedly, waving her little paws and barking incessantly.

"It is indeed quite special."

Pei Wanyun didn't think much of it.

After all, she didn't think about "transformation" at all, but only thought that spirit beasts were rare, so she naturally misinterpreted its meaning.

"After all, the Jade-Faced Spirit Fox is extremely rare."

"Nine-tailed ones are even rarer."

""

"Meow meow!"

Seeing that her master had not understood her meaning at all, Xueyan became anxious and started gesturing wildly.

It pointed at Chen Lianshu one moment and Mu Qianxue the next, its claws drawing various shapes in the air.

Just as it was about to make its point clear, the cold-faced senior sister suddenly spoke up: "Xueyan—it might be complaining to you, Master."

"To tattle?"

Pei Wanyun was slightly puzzled, but her attention was successfully drawn.

This trip to the secret realm was indeed beyond her expectations.

As far as I can remember, my husband did not collect any spirit pets during this trip.

However, she also knows that some things can only be used as a reference and cannot be relied upon entirely.

However, this little fox is clearly a variable.

Seeing Xueyan's excited expression made her pay even more attention to her.

"Was Xueyan bullied by that little fox?"

Since it was her own spirit pet, she naturally wanted to get to the bottom of it.

"no."

Mu Qianxue shook her head, actually covering for Su Jiu'er, and began to misinterpret Xueyan's meaning, diverting her master's thoughts: "It's Xueyan who's jealous of that little fox."

"Jealous?"

Upon hearing this, Pei Wanyun roughly guessed what was going on.

"Um.

""

Mu Qianxue picked up the spiritual tea and took a sip: "Master also knows that this little guy is extremely attached to his junior brother."

"And since my junior brother has taken in a spirit pet, he has naturally drawn a lot of attention away from him."

She paused, then continued, "Thus, in the secret realm, these two little ones were constantly vying for his affections, causing a ruckus every day."

"I see."

Pei Wanyun nodded and gently comforted the little one in her arms.

Xueyan stopped insisting.

After all, these things are too complicated to be clearly explained with a claw in a short time.

When it's just the two of them, it will tell its owner the whole story.

Anyway, the fox can't find us in a day, so there's no rush.

Seeing that Xueyan had finally stopped causing trouble, Pei Wanyun then inquired about the Jade-Faced Spirit Fox: "Has Lianshu named the little fox yet?"

"Take her as a wife, name her Jiu'er."

"Jiu'er?"

Pei Wanyun nodded in approval: "Nine tails by nature is a good name, it suits it very well."

The two then began to discuss the topic of spirit pets.

Especially Pei Wanyun, whose gaze fell on her husband's face, looking at his handsome features, the tenderness in her eyes was completely undisguised.

""

Mu Qianxue sensed that the atmosphere was a bit off, and coughed lightly at the right moment: "Ahem."

Pei Wanyun then withdrew her gaze and casually sipped a mouthful of spiritual tea.

But after she took it back, she couldn't help but glance at her husband a few more times.

"Master, my junior brother and I have been traveling in the secret realm for many days and we are quite tired."

Mu Qianxue found the safest and most irresistible reason to break the atmosphere: "I want to go back and rest first."

"If you're tired, then go back and rest."

"Um.

"

Mu Qianxue stood up in response and prepared to leave, glancing at her husband beside her as if she were waiting for him to come with her.

Surprisingly, Chen Lianshu didn't seem to have any intention of getting up.

Even after noticing her gaze, he remained seated.

"Since you're tired, Senior Sister, go and rest first."

99

"There's no need to insist."

In an instant, Mu Qianxue's heart skipped a beat.

She suddenly realized that she seemed to have messed up.

He had intended to take the opportunity to leave with her, thus severing the unpleasant atmosphere between his master and husband.

But in the end, they managed to extricate themselves from the situation?

Did they even personally create space for them to be alone?

But words spoken are words that cannot be taken back.

Even though she was very unwilling, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and say goodbye.

"Master, junior brother, I shall take my leave now."

"Since your heart is tired, go back and rest. There's no need to force yourself."

"There's no rush to go into seclusion; let's get our bodies in good condition first."

"Yes."

Mu Qianxue bowed to her master, then looked at Chen Lianshu, and finally left.

"See you tomorrow, junior brother."

"Okay, take care, senior sister."

Only two people remained inside the hall.

Pei Wanyun poured another cup of tea and handed it to her husband: "It's just the two of us now."

"Please keep your teacher company and talk to me."

"it is good."

Chen Lianshu took the bottle and sipped it. "What does Master want to say?"

Pei Wanyun held the tea, finally able to look at her husband openly.

She had looked at that face countless times, but she could never get enough of it.

"Pity the Book—"

She called out softly, then hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but stopped herself.

In the end, all the words could be summed up in one sentence: "You've had a tough journey to the secret realm."

"6

"Thank you for your concern, Master."

Chen Lianshu smiled slightly.

He also noticed that his master's mood was off, but he couldn't guess why.

"During these past few days in the secret realm, have you ever thought of your master?"

Pei Wanyun asked softly.

She didn't rush to confess.

Such an important matter should at least be discussed after my husband has had a good rest.

After all, as Qianxue said, after traveling for so many days, the other party should be given a break.

Even just thinking about it with a smile, she couldn't help but feel nervous.

"————?"

Chen Lianshu was suspicious, but still replied, "Of course I want to."

"After all, Master is very good to his disciple, and the disciple often thinks of Master."

This answer was absolutely flawless.

"miss--"

Pei Wanyun repeated it in a low voice, a hint of loneliness flashing in her eyes.

Is it just that you miss your master?

However, she quickly came to terms with it.

After all, she was still just her master in her husband's eyes, so it was only natural for her to think that way.

The two then chatted about sect matters and their experiences in the secret realm.

The night grew deeper.

Despite her deep reluctance, Pei Wanyun decided not to keep him any longer.

"Alright, you should go back and rest too."

"After all, they must be tired from traveling all the way through the secret realm."

"I won't keep you any longer."

"We can talk about it tomorrow, master and disciple."

She looked towards the side hall and gently stroked the snow-white little dumpling in her arms: "I've already tidied up the side hall."

95

"You can just rest."

"Then I'll take my leave."

Chen Lianshu stood up, about to leave.

But as soon as she reached the palace entrance, before she could even push open the door, she heard her master's soft call from behind: "Lian Shu—!"

"?"

He turned around and looked at that gentle and beautiful face, and those phoenix eyes filled with complex emotions: "Master, is there anything else you need me to do?"

"without."

Pei Wanyun gently shook her head, revealing a very faint smile, and said softly, "Good night."

Chen Lianshu paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Good night."

"Master, you should also get some rest."

As soon as he finished speaking, the palace doors closed gently.

Pei Wanyun sat alone in the same spot for a long time.

Finally, she gently got up and, as if possessed, walked towards the side hall.

His hand rested on the palace door, his fingertips curled up, his thoughts swirling.

After much deliberation, she ultimately decided not to push the door open and withdrew her hand.

I won't disturb him any longer; let him get some rest.

'

All the emotions in my heart eventually turned into a soft sigh.

She returned to Yunxin Palace alone.

Looking up at the silver moon on the horizon, Pei Wanyun gently closed her eyes.

She murmured to herself again and again, as if comforting herself or reaffirming her resolve.

"Soon—"

"It'll be soon—"

"Let's wait a little longer—"

"Just wait a little longer."
