After leaving Shang Miaoyan, Pei Yuhang headed straight for the Cold Palace Sword Mansion.
Although running into Shang Miaoyan on the way had cast a shadow over his cheerful mood,
he felt much better after giving her a rciless tongue-lashing.
Those words… he had been holding them in for a long ti.
It wasn't until A Thousand Years of Great Dream, where Qianqian personally helped him banish the nightmare of his past mories of being imprisoned and toyed with.
It wasn't until Qianqian gave him courage that he finally managed to say all those things.
It felt great.
Seeing the stunned and helpless look in Shang Miaoyan's eyes was especially gratifying for Pei Yuhang.
This pathologically possessive, cold-blooded "giant infant" who couldn't be without him... Pei Yuhang had long wanted to teach her a lesson like this.
After venting his frustrations, Pei Yuhang thought of his long-separated Dao Companion, whom he was about to see. The corners of his lips curved up unconsciously, and a gentle light filled his eyes.
"Liyuan, wait for ."
He murmured under his breath and subconsciously ford a hand seal, increasing his Sword Control speed.
anwhile, Shang Miaoyan stared blankly at Pei Yuhang's retreating figure. Her slender fingers gripped her sleeve so tightly that her knuckles turned white.
Her eyes shimred with unshed tears, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall, biting her lower lip until a trace of blood seeped out.
"It's not over, Xiaohan..."
Shang Miaoyan whispered, her voice trembling slightly, yet laced with a stubborn ruthlessness.
"I won't admit defeat! I never will."
She slowly raised her hand, her fingertips gently caressing the wrist Pei Yuhang had just brushed aside, where the coolness of his touch seed to linger.
Shang Miaoyan's beautiful eyes grew darker, and her lips curved into an almost sickening smile.
"Even if you say crueler things to ..." she laughed softly, a hint of madness in her voice, "this is the only way I can keep you firmly in my grasp."
"I will never let anyone... steal you away!"
With that, Shang Miaoyan unfurled a Teleportation Scroll. The air twisted, and she vanished from the spot.
When she opened her eyes again, Shang Miaoyan was in a secluded bamboo forest within the Cold Palace Sword Mansion.
That's right. During the ti Pei Yuhang was away from the Cold Palace Sword Mansion on "business" in the Northern Desert, Shang Miaoyan had already encroached upon the ho belonging to him and Ye Liyuan, turning it into her own territory.
The current Cold Palace Sword Mansion had no fewer than ten Teleportation Restrictions, allowing Shang Miaoyan to teleport freely to any location within the estate.
In addition, there were various Magical Treasure Arrays for eavesdropping and monitoring hidden in every corner of the Cold Palace Sword Mansion, allowing Shang Miaoyan to know the estate like the back of her hand.
To Shang Miaoyan, the Cold Palace Sword Mansion was now no different from her own ho!
'In fact, that's exactly what I think. How could a place where Xiaohan lives not have a trace of ?'
Shang Miaoyan didn't think she had done anything wrong.
In fact, after being berated by Pei Yuhang this ti, she felt she hadn't done enough.
'I must... I must be involved in every aspect of Xiaohan's life!'
'I absolutely cannot let him escape my control again.'
She would absolutely not tolerate another incident like this trip to the Northern Desert, where she was completely left out of the loop!
'Look at what Xiaohan did without my involvent! He actually got with his own disciple—'
'Of course, a man as lustful as Xiaohan needs my constant control so he won't make mistakes.'
Shang Miaoyan cupped her blushing cheeks with both hands, her fingers slightly curled. The sickening "love" in her eyes could no longer be suppressed.
Evidently, the lack of Pei Yuhang's affection for so long, coupled with the grievance and resentnt from being suddenly berated by him after their long-awaited reunion, had made Shang Miaoyan even more extre and pathological.
She even believed that the reason Xiaohan had beco this way was definitely because of the won around him.
She refused to believe this was Pei Yuhang's true intention. He must have been bewitched by the won at his side.
Now, Shang Miaoyan was going to discipline her beloved Xiaohan and bring him back in line!
At this thought, Shang Miaoyan took a deep breath and strode toward the main residence where Lin Qianyan was.
She wanted to use Ye Liyuan to see Pei Yuhang one more ti.
'I'm sure that with Sister Liyuan present, Pei Yuhang won't be as "irascible" as he was before.'
'As long as he calms down, the situation will still be under my control.'
...
"Hee hee~ Today's catch was amazing! I actually caught four big fish."
On a path paved with white pebbles, a young woman in a pale yellow silk dress skipped along, carrying a bucket full of fish. Her white silk socks peeked out from beneath her swaying skirt.
[Xiaoxiao, why have you been going to Hidden Immortal Lake to catch these silvery-white fish lately?]
The voice of her sister, Yu Gu Nan, sounded in her Sea of Consciousness.
"This fish is called a Treasure Fish, but it has another na: Childbearing Fish~"
Yu Xiaoyan's voice suddenly softened, and a faint blush crept onto her cheeks. Her long eyelashes fluttered, casting a shadow beneath her eyes.
[Childbearing Fish? Xiaoxiao, you've been eating this fish for so many days to—]
"That's right~ I heard from Master's wife that Master is coming back soon, so of course I have to be prepared."
Yu Xiaoyan lowered her head, glanced past her pitifully flat chest, and raised a hand to touch her flat stomach. Her large eyes were filled with such loving tenderness they seed about to overflow.
[No way! We share a body... I don't want to get pregnant yet!]
Yu Gu Nan protested in the young woman's mind, but Yu Xiaoyan clearly didn't care.
"Yu Gu Nan, there will only be more and more won around Master in the future. If I want to beco his most cherished woman, then of course I have to be the first to bear his child!
As they say, the eldest son is the most honored, and a mother's status rises with her son's. There's no way that's wrong."
At this, Yu Xiaoyan revealed a smug smile. She felt she truly had foresight, getting ahead of all the other won.
Just then, her pupils contracted as if she had seen sothing terrifying.
A tall, expressionless beauty was walking toward her. Yu Xiaoyan subconsciously glanced at the woman's fair, elegantly arched feet, which triggered a humiliating mory.
She snorted coldly, shut her eyes to avoid looking at the approaching Shang Miaoyan, and walked straight past her.
Shang Miaoyan glanced at the large fish in Yu Xiaoyan's bucket. Having once eaten all sorts of rare ingredients in her own quest to get pregnant, how could she not recognize the "Childbearing Fish"?
And as for this little girl, Yu Xiaoyan, eating such a fish... her "devious intentions" were obvious.
Already in a foul mood, she didn't say a word, simply flicking a stream of Spiritual Qi into the bucket.
SPLASH SPLASH—!!
The large fish in the bucket began to thrash about, and in the blink of an eye, they had all slamd themselves to death against the bucket's sides.
"Ah, my fish!"
Yu Xiaoyan cried out in anguish. Looking at the dead fish in the bucket, her eyes began to well up with angry tears.
The young woman gritted her teeth, watched Shang Miaoyan walk away, and stomped her foot in anger.
[Forget it, Xiaoxiao. We can't beat her. Fortunes change over ti. Let's just endure it for now!]
In her Sea of Consciousness, Yu Gu Nan feigned comforting her sister, but inwardly she was blooming with joy. Now she finally didn't have to worry about getting pregnant!
"Hmph, that old hag! I'll make her pay sooner or later!"
Yu Xiaoyan huffed angrily and carried the bucket back to her room.
But soon, she saw an unexpected figure.
"Senior Sister? You're back! Is Master back too?"
Qing Yueqiu, who had just set down her luggage, looked at the approaching young woman and gave a reserved nod.
"Master should be with Master's wife right now."
Yu Xiaoyan grew even more delighted at her words. Then, with a magnanimous air, she presented the bucket of fish to Qing Yueqiu.
'Anyway, the Childbearing Fish are dead, so I can't keep them. I can't eat four big fish by myself, so I might as well go with the flow and treat Senior Sister. Besides, Senior Sister won't be graced by Master's favor anyway, so it's completely useless for her to eat this fish.'
"Um, Senior Sister, would you like so fish?"
Fish?
Qing Yueqiu glanced at the bucket. Suddenly, her beautiful eyes widened slightly. As if struck by a premonition, she had an instinct that sothing good would happen if she ate it.
So, Qing Yueqiu nodded and thanked her junior sister.
"In that case, I thank you for the fish, Junior Sister."
