He accidentally bumped into the witch while flying on his sword.

"I want to have my wedding on the moon."

"Then you'll have to wait until I ascend to immortality."

"Then...when will you be able to ascend?"

"With you here, I'm afraid I won't be able to ascend."

"cut……"

Yun Yi smiled calmly, showing no remorse for hindering Chen Shun's cultivation progress.

If he doesn't like me that much, can't I ascend to immortality?

Ultimately, it's because his mind is filled with something other than cultivation... a certain witch.

He has only himself to blame!

Why not wait until I advance to the Star Witch level before taking him around to play?

Of course, that will be many, many, many years from now.

……

The little witch didn't let Chen Shun take her home again; she just hugged him for a while before reluctantly letting go.

Suppressing one's feelings temporarily is so that they can be together legitimately in the future.

Both of them understood this principle.

They turned around and went home separately.

As soon as Yun Yi returned home, she threw herself into Yun Yao's arms, tears streaming down her face, and said:

"Sis, three minutes after breaking up with Chen Shun, I miss him so much."

"..."

Suppressing the urge to complain, Yun Yao quickly asked:

"Break up? Who told you to break up?"

"Huh? Didn't you tell us to break up?" Yun Yi was also stunned.

"Damn it, didn't I tell you two to be less lovey-dovey? How did it turn into telling you to break up?" Yun Yao was so angry at her sister that she laughed.

She simply didn't have that much power to make her sister and her junior break up.

Yun Yi, on the other hand, felt somewhat bewildered. She spread her hands and questioned:

"Yeah, what's the difference between this and breaking up?"

"..."

Yun Yao pinned her younger sister down on the sofa and gave her a good beating.

With a long sigh, Yun Yao told her sister the news that she had originally planned to tell her later, six months earlier than expected.

"Xiao Yi, I'll be going out for an internship in the second half of the year. You can let your junior stay here for a long time then, it's fine."

"real!?"

"real."

"Oh... Sis, could you please not go for your internship? I'll miss you."

"Could you try to hide your smile a little when you say that?"

"Ah? It was that obvious, huh..."

Yun Yao was both amused and exasperated by her younger sister's unpredictable behavior of crying and laughing.

Yun Yi was extremely excited by this news.

She really wanted to send a message to Chen Shun to share her joy, but then she thought that the two of them had already symbolically broken up, and was she being too casual about the breakup?

Forget it, who cares? It's not like we're really breaking up!

Night Witch: [My sister said, wait for her...]

Wait a minute.

Yun Yi suddenly became alert.

She put down her phone, which she had already typed a few words into, and looked at her sister suspiciously.

"sister……"

"what?"

"You wouldn't... be going to live with your brother-in-law, would you?"

"Living together!? Cough...cough, what do you mean by living together? You're so young, what do you know!"

Yun Yao blushed slightly and raised her hand to lightly chop her sister's head a few times.

She doesn't seem very bright, yet she's always remarkably sensitive in certain areas...

"No way, are you really going to move out and live with your brother-in-law?"

As the older sister of the Star Witch, what can't she do?

There's absolutely no need to go out for an internship; an internship is just an excuse.

"What do you mean by 'staying' or 'not staying'? I already said I'm going there for an internship! An internship!"

"Are you two going to do an internship in the same place?"

"Ugh, you're so annoying! Have you taken a shower yet?" Yun Yao pushed away her sister, who was clinging to her with a teasing smile.

"Not washed."

"Then I'll help you wash." She lifted her younger sister up by the waist with one hand, tucked her under her arm, and carried her into the bathroom.

……

Just as Yun Yi was about to send a message to Chen Shun, he happened to return home and take out his phone.

Chen Shun looked at the pinned chat interface, which displayed "[typing...]" and then stopped.

He wondered what the little witch was going to say to him.

After waiting for a long time, there was still no further movement.

It made him feel like several little witches were scratching at his heart.

"Zhao! What exactly is she trying to say?!"

Chen Shun hates two types of people the most in his life.

The first type is those who only say half of what they mean.

……

On the night of the Lantern Festival, Chen Jian and Liu Qi were able to return home, which was a rare occasion.

He kept asking Chen Shun about Yun Yi's whereabouts.

Since the time Chen Shun fought his grandfather with magic when he was a child, he had never been as defeated as he was tonight.

Fortunately, I managed to get away by making an excuse that school was starting soon and I wanted to go to bed early.

Chen Jian and Liu Qi exchanged a glance, both seeing the meaningful smile in each other's eyes.

They had witnessed their son's embarrassment the whole time, which suggested that his relationship with the witch had progressed to a certain point.

There's no need to worry too much...

Chen Jian took a sip of water to moisten his somewhat dry throat.

I was questioning them so much just now that my throat is dry.

Chen Jian: "Qiqi, do you know what the old man said to me when we went back to the mountains for the Spring Festival?"

Liu Qi gave him a charmingly disdainful look: "Why are you calling me 'old man'? Our dad looks more energetic than you... What did he say?"

Chen Jian glanced furtively at Chen Shun's room door, then leaned close to Liu Qi's ear.

Liu Qi pushed him away playfully, leaning back slightly, and said shyly:

"Why are you standing so close? What did Dad say?"

"Cough cough!"

Chen Jian cleared his throat and said in a low voice:

"Dad said that Xiaoshun and that witch girl have a big difference in their physical constitutions, so it won't be easy for them to get pregnant... But you know, my family line can't end, so... Dad hinted to us... you know what I mean."

He stammered, even though they had been together for over twenty years and their son was nineteen, he was still so shy when the topic came up.

Liu Qi, having understood Chen Jian's meaning, covered her mouth in surprise.

"Dad must be joking... Xiaoshun is already an adult, and you want us to create a new account?"

“Dad said it’s all for our own good. After all, we’re different from them. We won’t see them again in a few decades… If Xiaoshun and that girl don’t have a child soon, you might never get to hold your grandson.”

"Then you'd better get Xiaoshun to work harder! I really want to hold my grandson!" Liu Qi punched Chen Jian a few times, her face flushed as she scolded him.

Regarding the question of lifespan, if it were her and Chen Jian twenty years ago, they might indeed have been saddened by it.

But now, I've long since let it go.

The person she loved most was Chen Jian. If she could grow old with him and die surrounded by her son and daughter-in-law, wouldn't that be a happy thing?

"Why are you rushing me? Xiao Shun is only nineteen! You go if you want to."

"Chen Jian, are you even a man?"

"Whether he's a man or not, don't you know best?" Chen Jian said with a grin.

A strange atmosphere gradually spread.

Liu Qi gritted her teeth, looked at Chen Jian, frowned her beautiful brows, and asked cautiously:

"How about we give it our all?"

"go!"

"Then carry me inside!"
