We moved to Golden Courtyard

People like Fu Hua, who practice martial arts, always have very sharp subconscious intuition. Since she felt agitated... it means that there might really be something serious that Fu Hua has overlooked.

"Don't rush me. Tell me, when did you start feeling irritable?"

After thinking for a while, Fu Hua gave an affirmative answer.

"yesterday."

"Yesterday? Wasn't that the day Sister Xian'er showed Xu Qi the house?"

"What? Master? What did Master do?"

"You do not know?"

After saying that, Mei realized that Fu Hua usually didn't take the initiative to find Xu Qi. It was usually Xu Qi who would take the initiative to find her and spend the night in Fu Hua's room.

So he explained, "We went a bit too far on the weekend. Your master couldn't stand it and said that we are not allowed to have sex with Xu Qi for the rest of the week."

They're still watching over Xu Qi in his room. I just went over, but they wouldn't let me in.

Fu Hua suddenly stopped.

She stared blankly at Mei, then suddenly changed her usual calm demeanor and exclaimed excitedly, "So, my master is in my brother's room right now?"

"Yes, that's how it was yesterday."

Mei asked in confusion, "What are you so excited about?"

"oops!"

Fu Hua finally realized what she had been so anxious about lately.

"Something terrible has happened!"

Mei seemed to realize something as well. She quickly stood up, comforted Fu Hua, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Sister-in-law, this!... How could you agree to such a thing!"

Fu Hua got so excited that he even called her "sister-in-law".

Mei couldn't help but panic—could something really serious have happened...?

"What... what's wrong? Sister Xian'er is your master, and also Xu Qi's master. I'm actually quite at ease with her watching over things. At least everyone is equal, right?"

Nobody wants to eat Xu Qi.

In the end, Mei couldn't help but crack a joke.

"Sister Xian'er can't possibly be stealing from the place she's in charge of..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Fu Hua staring straight at him.

Mei's heart skipped a beat!

"No...no way..."

"Sigh, it's partly my fault. I didn't tell you, but I thought we shouldn't wash our dirty linen in public... Wait a minute? Weren't you there that day?! I was with you that night..."

Fu Hua pursed her lips, too embarrassed to say that she and Mei had served Xu Qi together that night.

"But...but I thought you were joking!"

Mei's face almost turned a deep liver color from holding it in.

"How could I have imagined it was true! They really kissed all afternoon?"

Seeing Mei's anxiety, Fu Hua calmed down herself. She took Mei's hand, pulled her to sit beside her, and said soothingly, "Don't panic, let me tell you what happened. That day... it was like this..."

······

Lying in bed, Xu Qi couldn't fall asleep no matter what he did.

It's strange, I was just like this yesterday, so why can't I sleep today?

Oh... I didn't give Sister Xian'er a massage before bed yesterday.

I just got a massage. The robe was loose, and as I pressed my hands on it, I could see... a patch of fair, delicate skin near my shoulder blades.

That's why there's this exclamation—Sister Xian'er is so beautiful.

Then it brought up the incident from that afternoon when he mistook Xian'er for Fu Hua and kissed her.

Hmm... the more I think about it, the less I can sleep...

Especially when the person you're intimate with is sitting cross-legged right at your feet...

Finally, Xu Qi couldn't help but ask, "Sister Xian'er, are you... asleep?"

825, We can always be with you.

The Golden Courtyard at night was eerily quiet; even the cicadas outside could only be heard faintly.

It's mainly because of that ridiculous guy, Xu Qi.

To avoid disturbing everyone, Eden specially had soundproofing material installed on the walls of the courtyard so that no lewd noises could be heard at night.

Kosmo was the first to respond and agree.

The expressions on everyone's faces were ambiguous, almost as if they were saying outright—even if you bring Daisy Dobia home, we won't eavesdrop.

So at night, the room becomes exceptionally quiet except for the sound of the air conditioner.

In this environment, Xu Qi said something...

"Sister Xian'er, are you asleep?"

It then appears exceptionally clear.

Fu Xian'er did not answer and continued to practice her skills cross-legged. However, Xu Qi knew that she was definitely not asleep and must have heard what he had just said.

"Sister Xian'er, if you're not asleep... can I talk to you? If you don't say anything, I'll take that as a yes."

Fu Xian'er suppressed the urge to reply.

For some reason, she was hesitant to reply, with a vague intuition that if she did, she would be entangled in some unavoidable cause and effect.

But she didn't seem to understand that when she and Xu Qi were alone under the same roof, a kind of cause and effect had already begun.

"A lot happened at the company today. Xilin seemed to have been hit by something for no apparent reason. I tried to comfort her, and it was quite effective."

However, some things are just ridiculous, like saying you want to be friends for life... but that's a lifetime, it's not that easy.

But I still pinky-swore with Celine. It's strange, but once you pinky-swore, you have to do it. That's what my parents taught me when I was little.

So even though it might be difficult, I still want to try and see if I can do it. It's quite interesting to think about. When I'm old and gray, and I see Celine again, we can talk about this promise to be friends for life...

What will you feel then?

When Xu Qi brought this up, Fu Xian'er actually replied with a comment.

“When you’re seventy or eighty, you should still look like a forty-year-old middle-aged man, so I guess Celine will be very surprised.”

"..."

Sister Xian'er is really not very good at chatting...

Indeed, when Xu Qi thought of this, he remembered that he was a new human whose spiritual power had awakened once, and his physical functions... could not be measured by the standards of ordinary people.

"If you, like Mei, or me, had your spiritual power awaken a second time, you would probably look even younger then."

Is this even possible?!

"So if you plan to have a long and happy relationship with your wives, my suggestion is that you make them pay more attention to this aspect."

Especially you… I've heard that you awakened your spiritual power a month earlier than Mei, and now she's awakened for the second time, and what about you?”

Xu Qi scratched his head awkwardly, but at the same time, he couldn't help feeling a little proud.

Doesn't this prove that my wife is amazing?

"However... I do have some feelings about what you just said."

"Ok?"

Xu Qi opened his eyes and, thankfully, sat up. He looked at Fu Xian'er, who was sitting cross-legged at the foot of the bed with her palms facing the sky and her eyes slightly closed, and waited for what would happen next.

"My age... I'm a little embarrassed to say, I'm probably old enough to be your grandmother."

Ah... This is really the first time I've heard Fu Xian'er mention this.

So, Sister Xian'er is... that old? I can't believe it!

"My metabolism is just reaching its peak at this age, which, according to the standard for normal humans, is around thirty years old."

And what about my disciples? Do you still remember them?

Xu Qi nodded. His visit to Mount Taixu had left a very good impression on him.

"My worst disciple, Ma Feima, was brought up the mountain when I was already in my forties, and he was only ten years old."

Now, I know even my destiny, and he has reached the age I brought him up the mountain back then.

But look...

I still maintain this youthful demeanor, but what about my youngest disciple? He's unshaven and looks like a forty-year-old.

I could even see a single gray hair on his head… Xu Qi, can you imagine this scene?

Xu Qi fell silent.

He seemed to see the loneliness that belonged to Fu Xian'er...

The man is dead, the living is like this.

But if someone like Fu Xian'er were to live in this world for so long, how many people would she have to witness passing away!

Fu Xian'er slowly opened her eyes. Finally... she could no longer maintain this posture of practicing martial arts, and she seemed to be a little dejected.

"Going back to that topic, when your friend, Celine, is old and gray, you... remain young. The marks that time has left on her are almost invisible on you."

At that moment, you might truly understand what it means for the world to change drastically.

However, Xu Qi could not imagine such a scene.

"So you should understand that for people like us, many of the rules and regulations in this world don't exist. We can do whatever we want without overstepping the bounds..."

The price to pay is that you have to experience this dramatic change time and time again.

"..."

After not hearing Xu Qi's voice for a long time, Fu Xian'er smiled.

"I'm sorry, I brought up a very heavy topic. It's getting late, you should go to sleep."

"Sister Xian'er, this must be more than one time you've had a similar experience..."

Fu Xian'er glanced at Xu Qi in surprise, then nodded gently.

"How did you get through those times?"

"Of course, you have to rely on friends. But... the more friends you have, the more experiences you'll have..."

Who knows the sorrow behind such a short sentence?

Fu Xian'er was reminded of her past and became immersed in memories, a tear welling up in the corner of her eye.

"Alright, that's enough for today..."

The sound stopped abruptly, and before anyone knew it, Xu Qi had moved behind her, slowly reaching out to embrace this true immortal.

"Xu Qi?"

"I think, with my aptitude, achieving a second awakening of spiritual power should be quite easy. And within this golden courtyard..."

Sister Xian'er must have realized by now that everyone here is extraordinary, and I'm sure everyone has that opportunity. At least Mei and Sister Nia, aren't they already?

Sister Xian'er, you suffered before, but now... you have me, you have everyone. What I want to tell you, Sister Xian'er, is that from now on, you no longer have to face such suffering of change alone.

Because of me, we can always be there for you, witnessing your natural aging process.

The moment Xu Qi finished speaking, it was as if a pebble had fallen into Fu Xian'er's calm heart, creating ripples that could never be calmed again...

826. Let's do it again, playing the game as Fu Hua.
