I work as a veterinarian in the mountains, and at the beginning of the game, I find Daji (a legendar

"Brother Yuze, why don't I go with you? I'm very familiar with the environment of Lion Camel Ridge. With me there, we'll definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort!"

So, Miss Yuanbao, you're no longer speaking appropriately for the occasion, are you?

After slapping his cheek, Chen Yuze was even a little unsure whether Yuanbao had done it on purpose or not.

Of course, he absolutely couldn't agree. After all, his goal was to make Moxi happy first. If Yuanbao came along, Moxi might really start setting the mountain on fire.

"Alright, Yuanbao, you've come all this way to visit your parents' home. You should take this opportunity to spend more time with your older brothers. Who knows how long it will be before you see them again once we get back to Changqing Mountain."

After hearing Chen Yuze's words, Moxi's expression clearly improved.

Although it still smells bad, it's at least not as terrible as it was at the beginning.

“I also think that Yuanbao, you should cherish the family ties you have now. Don’t end up like us, regretting it when you’ve lost everything.” The one who spoke was Zhengyi.

All I can say is that Moxi did misunderstand her before.

She didn't side with Yuanbao. From the very beginning, she only spoke from her own perspective.

"That's fine."

She pouted, though she still wanted to go with Yuze. But thinking of her older brothers, Yuanbao decided to spend more time with them.

Moxi is not a girl who doesn't know when to advance or retreat.

Seeing that Chen Yuze had already set up the steps for her, she naturally followed suit.

“That’s fine. Lion Camel Ridge isn’t as peaceful as Evergreen Mountain. If we encounter any danger while picking spiritual plants and herbs, we can look out for each other.”

"Yes, with Meixi with me, I feel much more at ease."

Seeing that Moxi was no longer wearing a cold expression, Chen Yuze finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, it really is time to find an opportunity to have a proper talk with Yuanbao, that silly girl.

After all, harmony in the family brings prosperity. Why would you go and provoke Moxi if you had nothing to do?

So what if she slept with a man? What's there to brag about?

Do you even know what it means to make a fortune quietly?

208. Moxi's lips

Somewhere in Lion Camel Ridge.

Chen Yuze was carrying a bamboo basket and groping around in the white bushes.

Behind him, Moxi followed silently.

Because of the heavy snowfall yesterday, spiritual plants and herbs are even harder to find than usual.

Fortunately, Chen Yuze is a patient person, so even though the efficiency was a bit low, he didn't complain.

"I'm sorry, Moxi, I didn't expect that spiritual plants would be so hard to find on a snowy day."

After walking out of a grove of trees and looking at the snow covered with footprints behind him, Chen Yuze first took out two bottles of honey water that he had prepared in advance.

Immediately afterwards, he slightly activated his demonic power and used karmic fire to heat the lemonade in his hand to a temperature that was warm to the touch but not too hot.

"You are the first person I have ever met in my life to use karmic fire to heat water."

Taking the warm kettle, and watching Chen Yuze smile contentedly after taking a couple of sips of hot water, Mo Xi's heart inexplicably calmed down.

"Hehe, I'm using Ice Condensation Snowflakes to freeze fruit juice for drinking~"

He took two steps forward and reached out to tidy up the fine snow in Moxi's hair. Seeing that Moxi's complexion was much rosier than when she first arrived at the Chen family's courtyard, Chen Yuze simply took her pulse.

"Hmm, you are definitely healthier than when we first met."

“Living in such a luxurious environment, it would be strange if I weren’t healthy,” Meixi said, rolling her eyes. “Besides, you massage me every day. I even think that my hidden injuries will heal in less than six months.”

As a patient herself, Moxi is actually the one who can most clearly feel the changes in her body during this period.

But in her opinion, apart from the physical changes, the biggest gain in the Chen family courtyard was the change in her state of mind.

In the past, she always kept herself very tense. She would force herself to do all sorts of things, even things she didn't actually like, but Moxi would still throw herself into them without hesitation.

And now, Moxi...

To put it bluntly, he was assimilated by Chen Yuze.

In the Chen family courtyard, there was absolutely no need to care about what others thought of you. It was as if all the noise and clamor of the world had nothing to do with you. Do what you like with all your might. Let the things you hate go with the wind.

Here, Moxi's only wish is to live each day leisurely and then, at the right time, naturally find her own love.

Although there are always some guys who like to take shortcuts and overtake others, which can make people grit their teeth in anger.

Strangely, Moxi seems to have subconsciously come to regard this as one of the pleasures of living in the Chen family courtyard.

"The six-month period also includes helping you evolve your bloodline."

As for the time it takes to reach the Nine-Tailed Fox and expel inner demons, it's only natural that internal injuries heal faster.

Unaware of the complex thoughts in Meixi's mind, Chen Yuze simply stated the facts:

"Judging by the time we get home this time, the hidden injuries in your body should be healed by now. Next, we just need to wait for your bloodline to complete its evolution so that we can expel the inner demons as well."

"It turns out that more than three months have passed without me even realizing it."

Holding the warm kettle, for a fleeting moment, Moxi even had a thought that she hoped her ailment would heal more slowly.

However, this fleeting thought was quickly overshadowed by Moxi's other thoughts.

As the Empress of Tushan, Moxi ultimately couldn't be like Chen Yuze, who could so readily give up everything.

"Speaking of which, there's something I've been wanting to ask you, Moxi."

For some reason, even though Moxi was right in front of him, Chen Yuze felt that she was getting further and further away from him.

It's as if she could return to that state of utter loneliness and isolation at any moment.

"Young Master Chen, please feel free to ask."

"Then I'll get straight to the point."

Taking a deep breath, Chen Yuze felt inexplicably nervous: "Moxi, after you've fully recovered, would you be willing... to stay in Changqing Mountain?"

"Eh?"

Unexpectedly, Chen Yuze would suddenly ask such a question. For a moment, Mo Xi's breathing became rapid, and even her heartbeat quickened.

After a long silence, Moxi finally asked in return:

"Young Master Chen, would you like me to stay?"

"Of course I hope you can stay and keep me company."

Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Yuze spoke his truest thoughts almost the instant Mo Xi finished speaking.

“Mom, you’re not only beautiful and capable, but also…”

No girl dislikes being praised, and Moxi is no exception.

Therefore, after Chen Yuze paused, she immediately asked him questions out of great curiosity.

"And what?"

"Ahem, this is just my own subjective opinion. If I'm wrong, please don't be angry."

Scratching the back of his head, Chen Yuze, his face burning, continued speaking:

"And I think that Meixi actually has those kinds of feelings for me too. So, I still want to try to make you, cough cough... my Chen family's daughter-in-law."

"..."

Looking at Chen Yuze's slightly evasive gaze and listening to his straightforward confession.

At that moment, Moxi felt as if her heart was melting.

This is not only Chen Yuze's recognition of her, but also the best response to the feelings she has invested over the past three months.

“If anyone dared to say such a thing to me, I would scatter their ashes.”

Suddenly, a small ball of karmic fire ignited at Moxi's fingertips, making her face flushed: "But if it's Young Master Chen, I seem to really be unable to resist such an tempting offer to stay."

"So, Meixi, you've agreed to stay?" Overjoyed, Chen Yuze looked at the girl in front of him. If he wasn't worried that shouting too loudly would cause an avalanche, he probably would have shouted "Yay!" to the sky on the spot.

However, at this moment, Moxi changed the subject:

"However, Young Master Chen, you also know that I am the Empress of Tushan. Many times, many things are beyond my control..."

"Although it might be a bit inappropriate for me to say this, what if you, Moxi, could find a suitable successor?"

"I already have someone in mind as my successor." Moxi shook her head with a wry smile:

"However, before handing over the throne to her, I still have many things to take care of. I don't know how long these things will take to finish; it might be over in half a year, but it could also drag on for ten or even a hundred years. Even so, Young Master Chen, are you willing to wait for me?"

"Wait, of course we'll wait!"

Chen Yuze grasped Moxi's hand tightly and said earnestly, "I can't bear to let such a good wife go like this. Not to mention ten or a hundred years, as long as Moxi is willing to come back, even if it takes a thousand or ten thousand years, I will wait for you at Changqing Mountain."

"Then, may I take these words as a promise from Young Master Chen?"

Feeling the warmth of Chen Yuze's palm, Meixi's eyes involuntarily welled up with tears.

"of course."

Chen Yuze nodded heavily.

Looking at Moxi's lips, which were glistening with an alluring sheen, he kissed them without hesitation.

In his past life, Chen Yuze had seen too many men who thought, "I can convey my message even if I don't say anything," only to regret not saying those words or saying those words after they could no longer get a response.

Therefore, what needs to be said should be said in a timely manner. Those who should be loved should be loved in a timely manner.

You must hold onto what you cherish firmly in your own hands.

Sometimes being straightforward isn't necessarily a bad thing.

So, after a long while...

"Young Master Chen, I must say, you are truly skilled."

Holding a delicate little mirror, Meixi reapplied lip gloss to her lips, feigning a resentful look, and gave Chen Yuze a coquettish glare.

In response, Chen Yuze whistled and chuckled, then pretended to be clueless.

"Ahem, let's hurry and find some more spiritual plants. It'll be much harder to find them after dark. After all, these spiritual plants aren't like Moxi's lips; you can't just find them with your eyes closed!"
