Luo Xiu lifted his leg and kicked back, slamming the door shut.
Outside the door, the two won, Jin Zhi and Yu Ye, both puffed their cheeks slightly. Thinking that their boss was about to be bullied, they felt very uncomfortable for a mont, but there was nothing they could do.
Inside the room.
Luo Xiu lowered his head, looking at Lin Xiyue cradled horizontally in his arms, and asked, "Who were those two outside?"
Lin Xiyue said, "Jin Zhi and Yu Ye, you can count them as my secretaries. They've been following since not long after I ca to the Upper Realm."
Luo Xiu showed a aningful smile. "Beautiful twin babes like that are really rare. Where'd you recruit them from?"
"Look at you, all lecherous and shit."
Lin Xiyue rolled her eyes at him, then said in a warning tone, "If you dare have any thoughts about Jin Zhi and Yu Ye, you're done for, I'm telling you!"
Luo Xiu suddenly lifted both hands and flung Lin Xiyue onto the bed.
"Then it should be fine if I have thoughts about you, right?"
Lin Xiyue let out a soft cry and scolded, "Luo Xiu, are you fucking sick or what?"
Luo Xiu strode over, directly climbed onto the bed and knelt between Lin Xiyue's legs. His hands grabbed her knees and forcefully pried her legs apart.
He grinned wickedly. "Just now you even dared嫌弃 your own man?"
Lin Xiyue showed no fear at all and even pretended to gag. "You stink like hell, go take a shower already. Otherwise don't even think about touching !"
Luo Xiu just burst out laughing, taking it lightly. With both hands he pulled off the high heels on her slender jade feet, then reached for the hem of her white gauze dress, about to lift the soft skirt up toward her waist.
"Bang."
But the next mont, he was ruthlessly kicked off the bed by Lin Xiyue.
"You really are turning the heavens upside down, huh!"
"I told you to go take a shower, and you still wanna argue with your old lady?"
Luo Xiu's face was full of grievance. In his heart he thought this woman was acting just like a shrew now.
"I'm not showering today!"
Lin Xiyue's eyes darkened slightly, her voice turning cold. "Say that again. Are you washing or not?"
"Just not!"
Lin Xiyue's eyes widened, and she growled, "Luo Xiu… laozi Shudao Mountain!"
Luo Xiu shuddered, scrambled up from the ground, and ran toward the bathroom as if fleeing.
"Fine, I'll wash!"
In the end, he was still afraid of getting beaten.
Nothing he could do about it; this woman was getting more and more cocky.
"Lin Xiyue, just you wait, I'll co back and deal with you later!"
"..."
...
He said he was going to "deal with" Lin Xiyue, but in the end, Luo Xiu was the one who got dealt with.
A fierce battle lasted nearly four hours before it finally ended!
Luo Xiu collapsed powerlessly on the bed. Looking at the smug Lin Xiyue beside him, he suddenly felt like a complete failure, his manly dignity utterly gone.
Lin Xiyue propped her chin up with one hand and crooking her index finger at him provocatively. "What, you wanna call it quits already?"
Luo Xiu gritted his teeth, full of pent-up frustration and unwillingness, but he didn't dare speak.
Because right now Lin Xiyue was riding high, and if he didn't admit defeat, he'd get "dealt with" again.
He secretly made up his mind: once he got back, he was definitely going to develop a Heavenly Grade Elixir—one specifically to deal with the Nine Yin Constitution!
Lin Xiyue slowly pushed herself up to sit, her fragrant hair cascading down, releasing waves of tempting scent.
Luo Xiu looked at her, his face suddenly turning a bit pale. "You… you still want more?"
Lin Xiyue looked at Luo Xiu with a half-smile. "Actually, I can completely suppress the Nine Yin Power, so I'm not addicted to this kind of thing at all. But if you wanna play, I can keep you company anyti—till I suck you so hard you get PTSD from ."
Luo Xiu's face was full of bitterness. "Can't you let rest for a bit?"
Lin Xiyue's expression turned serious. "Call mommy!"
Luo Xiu wanted to cry but had no tears. In his heart he thought, since when was it not making them call daddy?
He never imagined there'd co a day he'd fall so low he had to call soone mommy.
Lin Xiyue snorted coquettishly. "Forget it, I'll spare you this ti."
Luo Xiu's face broke into a grin as if he'd been granted amnesty, and he hurried to change the subject. "So, how's that Divine Rune Brand thing of yours coming along?"
Lin Xiyue just smiled without answering, simply pointing her right index finger at the center of her brows.
Luo Xiu focused his gaze and saw a faint glow flickering between her brows, revealing a mysterious azure-gold mark.
Lin Xiyue said, "Everything's done. And it's all thanks to that Cinnabar Holy Tea of yours. Actually, I only ca out of seclusion about ten days earlier than you."
Luo Xiu pushed himself up to sit, then leaned over to stare at the mark between her brows and asked, "So when can you summon back the Mysterious Central Realm?"
"What, you already can't wait to resurrect the Ten Emperors and then pick up where you left off with the Stunning Phoenix Emperor?"
Luo Xiu said through gritted teeth, "Lin Biao, in your eyes am I that kind of person?"
"What else? I heard all about you and the Stunning Phoenix Emperor from Sister Xuanran."
Luo Xiu was extrely depressed. "Why do we keep dragging up stuff from my past life?"
Lin Xiyue said solemnly, "Actually, it's not that easy. First we need to go to the Boundless Heavens, and we also have to use the Divine Pattern to locate it. Only then can we activate the Secret Key and summon back the Mysterious Central Realm."
"I see."
Lin Xiyue stretched lazily, openly displaying her completely naked body before Luo Xiu, and said, "We've been out for so long; we should head back and check on Shan Shan."
"..."
After a simple bit of packing up, the little couple took Jin Zhi and Yu Ye to find the Stunning Phoenix Immortal and bade her farewell.
At the Teleportation Plaza of Yingwo City.
Lin Xiyue and the Stunning Phoenix Immortal hugged each other tightly, as if they couldn't bear to part.
Luo Xiu stood off to the side, quietly enjoying the fourfold "squeezed" scenery and secretly making comparisons.
But no matter how he compared, the two won were evenly matched.
After a long ti.
Lin Xiyue finally let go of Stunning Phoenix Immortal and asked, "Where's Sister Xuanran?"
"Her Majesty drank the Cinnabar Holy Tea and is currently in seclusion. She told to pass on a ssage to you: you must work hard on your cultivation and improve your strength, you mustn't slack off."
"..."
...
Yan Huang Star.
Shura City.
As soon as Luo Xiu walked out of the Teleportation Array, he took Lin Xiyue and flew straight to the Imperial Palace to look for Lin Shanshan, ruthlessly leaving behind Jin Zhi and Yu Ye.
When he found Lin Shanshan, Luo Xiu was shocked to discover that she had already left the wheelchair, and her cultivation aura was much stronger than before.
"Dad! Mom!"
Lin Shanshan completely ignored the Empress's dignified image and threw herself into the arms of the two most important people in her life right in front of everyone.
The civil and military officials all looked at this warm scene of a family of three, unconsciously showing smiles on their faces, then quietly dispersed, leaving this ti and space to the family of three.
"Shanshan, didn't Clan Leader Ao say you had to stay in the wheelchair for three months? How co it's only been two months and you already…"
"Aiya, Dad don't worry, I've completely fused with the Crystal Bone already. It's all thanks to picking a good womb, my whole body is Emperor's Blood."
"I see."
"..."
In the blink of an eye.
The lights ca on as night fell.
Luo Xiu personally cooked, and the family of three sat together around the table.
At the dinner table.
Lin Xiyue asked very seriously, "Shanshan, tell , when I wasn't around before, did your dad take good care of you?"
Lin Shanshan answered without even thinking, "Of course. My dad took care of super carefully, he's really talented at being a stay-at-ho dad."
Hearing this, Luo Xiu, sitting beside her, decisively gave Lin Shanshan a thumbs-up.
This good girl really knows how to talk.
Lin Xiyue nodded lightly. "That's good. I was worried he would sneak off to go fishing and leave you alone."
Lin Shanshan gave Luo Xiu a aningful look. "How could he? My dad stayed by my side every step of the way, that's why he didn't go fishing."
Luo Xiu looked at her with grateful eyes, sending a Divine Sense Communication: "Shanshan, it's worth all the love I've given you!"
Lin Shanshan winked at him.
Looking at the father and daughter in front of her, Lin Xiyue's eyes grew slightly moist.
A scene like this, a family sitting together eating and chatting, used to be the most extravagant dream to her.
"Speaking of which, this can be considered his way of making it up to you… After all, he missed your entire childhood, and never experienced how hard those years were when I raised two kids alone."
Lin Shanshan covered her mouth and giggled, saying, "It's not just my childhood, Dad missed out on a lot more."
Luo Xiu looked puzzled. "What else did I miss? Was it you falling in love at school?"
Lin Shanshan spat, "This campus belle has always been devoted to the Dao, I wouldn't lower myself to date anyone."
Lin Xiyue laughed. "Back then our great campus belle Shanshan really did have quite a few boys chasing her. I worried about it for a long ti, afraid she'd get whisked away by so snot-nosed brat."
Luo Xiu let out a cold laugh. "They dare try to whisk away my daughter? I'd butcher those little punks!"
Lin Xiyue shot him a glare. "Watch your manners in front of your daughter!"
Luo Xiu hurriedly changed the subject: "So what else did I miss?"
Lin Shanshan thought for a mont. "Oh, tons of things. For example, bullying Di Wentao and Di Shiqi, that brother-sister pair, while Luo Tao stood to the side bawling his eyes out in fright."
Luo Xiu was taken aback. "That fierce? You even dared bully a prince and princess?"
Lin Shanshan said proudly, "Of course. Back then my mom was the commander-in-chief and Auntie Sun was the dean. Everyone spoiled . Who would dare ss with ? Prince or princess, I'd beat them up all the sa!"
Luo Xiu's face was full of pride. "As expected of my daughter."
"Dad, you know, when we were kids Di Wentao and Di Shiqi would start crying the mont they saw . Even later, after Auntie Xuan Ji abdicated and Di Wentao beca the Dragon Emperor, he was still scared of in private."
Lin Xiyue rolled her eyes hard. "With all those naughty, troublemaking stunts of yours, where do you get the face to brag about them in front of your dad?"
Lin Shanshan waved a hand. "You, who was a lady from childhood, just don't get it."
Luo Xiu's face was all smiles. "I just love listening to Shanshan talk about when she was little. Oh right, Shanshan, what else did I miss?"
Lin Shanshan thought for a bit and said, "For example, when I was in kindergarten—if you'd been around, you could have taken to and from school every day."
"Dad, I'm telling you, a few of the freshly graduated teachers at our kindergarten were really pretty… If you'd been here back then, you could've driven Mom's luxury car to pick up after school, and then I'd say I was from a single-parent family and didn't have a mom. Who knows, you might have been able to pick up one or two of those teachers."
At those words, Luo Xiu fell silent, only sneaking a glance at Lin Xiyue.
Seeing Lin Xiyue smiling without any sign of getting angry, he secretly let out a sigh of relief.
Lin Shanshan said, "And if you had hooked up with my teacher, then when I didn't do my howork, the teacher wouldn't scold ."
Luo Xiu's forehead was full of black lines. "Not doing your howork—that's your real motive, isn't it?"
Lin Shanshan: "Aren't you at all regretful that you never picked up my teacher?"
Luo Xiu nodded. "When you put it that way, it does sound a bit of a pity."
"A pity?"
Beside him, Lin Xiyue's voice suddenly ca, icy cold.
Luo Xiu instantly felt a chill all over and hurriedly explained, "No… what I an is, it's a pity I missed Shanshan's childhood."
Lin Xiyue let out a dry laugh. At so point, her slender hand had already landed on Luo Xiu's waist, pinching a chunk of flesh and twisting it hard.
Luo Xiu yelped in pain. "Shanshan, your mom's bullying , aren't you going to do sothing about it?!"
Lin Shanshan laughed heartlessly. "If she's not bullying , that's already like burning high incense in thanks. How would I dare管her?"
Then she gave a sweet smile. "Oh right, Dad, Mom, how about the three of us sleep together tonight?"
"..."
————————
I actually wanted to use these days while the protagonist is recovering from injuries to write so light, everyday life chapters.
But after reading it over, I realized it's just so-so. Seems I'm really not suited for slice-of-life.
Mm, just treat this chapter as filler. Tomorrow we officially get back to the main plot.
