After returning to rcenary City, Ye Lingyue started to treat the Earth Venerate according to the planned schedule.
To her surprise, it wasn’t long before the Heavenly Venerate also arrived in rcenary City.
Naturally, the Heavenly Venerate ca for the Earth Venerate.
However, the Earth Venerate’s attitude towards him was rather cold, clearly still harboring a grudge for the Heavenly Venerate’s previous concealnt.
Knowing the temperant of the Earth Venerate, the Heavenly Venerate chuckled sheepishly and did not leave. He settled down in rcenary City and passed the ti playing chess with Feng Xun and delving into astrology; his days were quite pleasant.
Ye Lingyue, of course, would not drive them away. With both the Heavenly Venerate and the Earth Venerate in rcenary City, it was as if Tongtian Pavilion had also settled there.
Many people who ca to see the Heavenly Venerate entered and exited rcenary City, bringing considerable inco to the city.
As for Feng Xun, after shedding the heavy responsibility of Prince Feng, he indeed seed to adopt a hermit-like deanor.
He would accompany Ye Lingyue to Purple Bamboo Ridge every day to survey the area, take Little Zhiyo for walks and search for exotic herbs. He also self-taught impressive cooking skills and was no longer the disastrous cook he used to be.
Besides that, he also gave plenty of suggestions to Ye Lingyue.
Such as together with Yan Jiu, reorganizing the rcenary Alliance, enhancing the daily provisions for rcenaries, and restructuring so freelance rcenaries to form the City Lord Army responsible for daily public security.
Ye Lingyue then discovered a different side of Feng Xun.
He didn’t seem as fragile as she had imagined; no wonder Yan Jiu, seeing Ye Lingyue protectively hovering like a hawk over a chick, would twitch his mouth and mock Feng Xun at the side.
Feng Xun simply smiled, hugged Ye Lingyue, and said to the side,
"Yan Jiu, that’s jealousy. My Yue’er is gentle and considerate, unlike you, always being schooled by your own woman."
"Disaster lasts a thousand years, Feng Xun, just keep pretending. I want to see how you end up," Yan Jiu said with envy and jealousy, his teeth nearly rotting.
As for one of the parties concerned, Ye Lingyue, she was utterly puzzled. What exactly were the two of them talking about?
In the words of Lan Cai’er and Aguduo, Feng Xun was the typical warm husband—capable in the hall, the kitchen, and coupled with entering the bridal chamber.
"Hey, hey, my dear sister, you should marry Feng Xun soon. Look at him, pining away every day, like he needs your pampering," Lan Cai’er suggested one day while picking her teeth and sipping Rainbow Five Treasures Brew after eating a plate of honey-glazed chicken made by Feng Xun.
Little Zhiyo was also squatting nearby, munching gleefully.
"Yes, Young Master Feng is truly a good man. Master, you should take him quickly. You haven’t seen how the number of female rcenaries in rcenary City has skyrocketed because Captain Yan brought Young Master Feng to be responsible for reception," Aguduo fanned the flas from the side.
"Sister, this is typical case of being soft-spoken when fed. Who was it before that firmly said they would never keep a pretty boy?" Ye Lingyue laughed.
"How can it be the sa? Feng Xun, being a top-grade pretty boy, any woman would be willing to keep him for a lifeti. How co when choosing, I ended up with a misshapen gourd?" Lan Cai’er lanted, not forgetting to stuff another chicken leg into her mouth.
"My dear wife, in what way am I a misshapen gourd?" A certain "misshapen gourd" approached and snatched the chicken leg from Lan Cai’er’s hand.
It turned out Yan Jiu and Feng Xun had returned from busying at the rcenary Alliance.
When these two stood in the rcenary Alliance, male rcenaries felt envious and female rcenaries went crazy. To prevent congestion, Yan Jiu and Feng Xun ca back first.
"Who says our Yan Jiu is a misshapen gourd, who said that, I’ll be cross with them," Lan Cai’er said, coughing a few tis in fright.
"Eat, all you know is eating, and you’ve been so fond of eating lately, haven’t you noticed your waist has thickened?" Yan Jiu stuffed the chicken leg back into Lan Cai’er’s mouth, not forgetting to hug her slightly thicker waist.
"Is it really thicker?" Lan Cai’er suddenly looked distressed, she hadn’t noticed it herself, but she really had been able to eat a lot lately.
Ye Lingyue glanced at Lan Cai’er, then suddenly reached out and touched Lan Cai’er’s belly.
"..."
"Sister, it seems like you’re pregnant."
Ye Lingyue said after feeling her stomach.
Lan Cai’er and Yan Jiu were instantly dumbstruck.
After a mont, Yan Jiu suddenly burst out laughing.
Ye Lingyue’s dical skills were top-notch, if she said there was a baby, there definitely was one.
"Feng San, you see, this ti I finally beat you. You aren’t even married yet, and I’m going to be a dad," Yan Jiu was wildly smug.
Poor Lan Cai’er, originally enjoying her al, suddenly burst into tears after hearing the news.
"Damn Yan Jiu, I’m done with you, I’m pregnant before marriage, without even a proper status, and my dad still won’t accept you as a son-in-law, I’m not having this baby."
Lan Cai’er burst out crying, causing Yan Jiu to panic.
"Cai’er, don’t cry, it’s all my fault, let’s get married, we’ll get married right away."
And so, one month into Lan Cai’er’s pregnancy, she hastily married Yan Jiu.
On the day of the wedding, Lan Cai’er was crying and laughing, nearly unable to consummate the marriage. Watching Lan Cai’er get married, Ye Lingyue felt happy for her but also a little sentintal.
She knew that Lan Cai’er was still worried about her parents at the Lan Residence.
Her own relationship with Feng Xun was sothing Prince Feng had always disapproved of, lacking the blessing of parents and matchmakers, it was always sowhat improper.
Thinking of this, Ye Lingyue intensified her treatnt of Earth Venerate.
At least she had managed to please her future mother-in-law, halfway fulfilling the parental decree.
Earth Venerate’s Withered Wood Poison, Ye Lingyue had already begun treating it back in Beiqing, and about a month later, the toxin was mostly eliminated.
Earth Venerate’s dry body gradually fleshed out, as for the scars on her face, due to being very old, they were difficult to deal with and required more quantities of Nirvana Heart Lotus than just one plant.
Fortunately, Ye Lingyue was prudent, this ti when she received Nirvana Heart Lotus from Xue Pianran, she only used the petal part and kept the lotus seeds from the Nirvana Heart Lotus.
Nirvana Heart Lotus was so precious because it required a very harsh growing environnt, it had to grow together with its companions, and the water quality needed to be absolutely pure with sufficient Spiritual Power.
On the mainland, most of the Nirvana Heart Lotus grew in desolate places far from human habitation.
The only artificially cultivated Nirvana Heart Lotus grew in the Heavenly Pool of Yaochi Immortal Pavilion.
When Xue Pianran was fostered at Dan Palace by Elder Ying years ago, Elder Ying simulated the environnt of Yaochi Immortal Pavilion, constructed a small Heavenly Pool, and planted a few Nirvana Heart Lotus, but the environnt of the small Heavenly Pool was still incomparable to the real Heavenly Pool, so the quality of Nirvana Heart Lotus Xue Pianran provided was really quite ordinary.
