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

Chapter 134 Lady Wanyun

The bamboo forest was so quiet that only the sound of the wind could be heard.

After saying those words, Pei Wanyun lowered her head, not daring to look at her husband's reaction.

Chen Lianshu stood there, looking at the gentle and dignified woman in front of him.

She was so nervous that her whole body was trembling, which showed how difficult it was for her to say those words.

So, is it really all just about romance?

Clearly, even what he considered the last normal simulation line collapsed.

As for the two characters in the [Demon Control Route] and [Demonic Path Route], they had already called him their husband before this.

So apart from the very beginning, Chen Lianshu didn't feel much of a stir in her heart about these kinds of things.

This was the first time he had ever experienced such a formal confession of his feelings.

However, since he himself incurred this emotional debt in the simulation, he should repay it; there is no reason for him to shirk responsibility.

After a moment of silence, Pei Wanyun spoke again: "I know I shouldn't have said these things."

His voice was soft and hesitant: "After all, the master-disciple relationship came first."

"But if I don't say it, I'm afraid I'll go crazy."

She was terrified, but she still managed to say, "In the days you were gone, I went to the side hall every day and stayed by your presence every night. I was like a madwoman."

"Even in my memory, at the very beginning I thought I could be your master for life, watching you cultivate, watching you—"

To get married.

The last two words were almost squeezed out from between his teeth.

Even though it was just a hypothetical situation, her voice still choked up, her heart aching.

Even hypothetically, she couldn't accept that her husband didn't belong to her.

"But I can't do it."

"I simply cannot deceive myself, nor can I bear to watch you belong to someone else."

"Even if it's my disciple!"

In desperation, Pei Wanyun also revealed Mu Qianxue's true identity.

"That's why I'm making my feelings clear. Even if you don't accept it, even if you think I, as your master, am shameless, I still have to let you know."

Then, Pei Wanyun took a deep breath and finally looked up at him.

Those gentle phoenix eyes were tinged with twilight and moonlight.

It also contains the courage to gamble everything, formed from long-suppressed emotions.

"I love you."

The atmosphere fell silent for a moment.

Chen Lianshu finally spoke: "So—"

Before she could finish speaking, Pei Wanyun trembled and her heart jumped into her throat.

The courage he had just felt seemed to vanish in an instant, and he lowered his head again, awaiting the verdict.

"Why didn't you tell me from the beginning?"

"At least give me some mental preparation."

That being said, Chen Lianshu had been deceiving himself all along.

Therefore, he wouldn't be caught off guard and realize his feelings only at the last minute, nor would he be at a loss after the other party confessed their feelings.

"?"

Pei Wanyun was somewhat surprised; her husband's reaction was not at all what she had expected.

She looked up again, and the look in his eyes carried a hint of helplessness.

This attitude—could it be that they've accepted it?

"You—does this mean you accept me?"

"Aren't you angry with me?"

Seeing the other person's cautious demeanor, completely unlike their usual dignified and gentle self, Chen Lianshu couldn't help but chuckle.

"That's strange."

"Why didn't you tell me from the beginning?"

"That's it?"

Pei Wanyun was stunned.

"Otherwise what? Am I to blame you for anything? For liking me?"

Faced with such a blunt response, Pei Wanyun opened her mouth, but for a moment she didn't know what to say.

In the end, Chen Lianshu sighed: "I should have guessed it sooner."

"only--"

"Just what?"

Pei Wanyun thought there was some twist in the story, so she quickly pressed for an answer, her tone urgent.

"It's just that I trusted you too much."

"I had been deceiving myself all along, thinking that I was just overthinking things."

Chen Lianshu then looked at her "master" and said with a hint of teasing, "After all, someone has been emphasizing the 'master-disciple relationship,' so I can't just assume it's something I shouldn't, can I?"

"this--"

Pei Wanyun stood there, stunned and at a loss.

She never expected her husband to react this way.

Instead, they tacitly agreed and were complaining that she had kept it a secret for too long.

"Then—you and me—?"

Pei Wanyun was speechless for a moment, unsure of how to express herself.

After all, her mind was in complete turmoil, filled with both joy and trepidation.

To her delight, her husband did not refuse.

What makes me uneasy is whether this counts as acceptance.

Chen Lianshu said no more, gazing at the gentle beauty whose eyes were reddening.

He walked up to the other person, reached out, and gently grasped the cold, tense hand in response.

Pei Wanyun was initially still in shock, and it wasn't until the other person warmed her hands that she came to her senses.

The pent-up emotions finally burst forth at this moment.

She threw herself into her husband's arms, hugging his back tightly with both hands and pressing her whole body against him.

His moon-white robes and hem swayed gently in the breeze, overlapping each other.

At this moment, she no longer needed to act as a master and disciple.

At least for this moment, she was no longer his master, but, as he remembered, his Daoist partner.

After embracing for a moment, Pei Wanyun finally spoke: "I thought you would think I was shameless."

Her voice was muffled, tinged with tears.

"How could that be?"

Chen Lianshu gently placed his hand on her back, soothing her gently, like comforting a frightened spirit beast.

"Then why didn't you speak just now?"

Pei Wanyun loosened her embrace and nestled in his arms, her voice full of grievance.

"You scared me."

Chen Lianshu said helplessly, "Who would have thought that my usually gentle and kind master would suddenly say something like that?"

"I just wanted to tell you how I feel."

Pei Wanyun's pretty face flushed slightly as she gradually recovered from her emotions. At that moment, she wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground.

She felt incredibly ashamed, especially when she thought about what she had just said.

At the same time, she silently berated herself.

But in the end, everything turned out well.

"By the way, Master, what did you just say?"

Perhaps to ease the tension, or perhaps to help Pei Wanyun relax a bit, Chen Lianshu brought up their earlier conversation, teasingly asking, "Want to be my master for life?"

That was in the past.

Pei Wanyun blushed even more, her voice barely audible: "I had just taken you as my disciple then, so I didn't think too much about it."

"If I had my eye on you from the very beginning, what kind of person would I be?"

"And also—don't call me Master anymore."

Chen Lianshu looked at the other person's embarrassed appearance and suddenly found it funny.

This was the first time he had ever seen his master like this.

"Okay, Wanyun."

Finally, when her husband called her name, Pei Wanyun couldn't control her emotions and buried herself in his arms, finally calling out that title openly and honestly: "Husband."

The voice was so choked up that it was almost inaudible.

Chen Lianshu reached out and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, saying, "Don't cry, you don't look good when you cry."

"If you keep crying, people will think I'm bullying you."

"it is good."

Pei Wanyun stopped crying and smiled, snuggling into his arms, and stammered, "I've been calling you—"

"and you--"

She wanted to speak but dared not; she wanted her husband to call her that too, but was too ashamed to utter the words.

Chen Lianshu naturally saw through her thoughts, and before she could speak, he gently called out, "Wanyun."

He paused, then added, "Lady Wanyun?"
