riencing how difficult pregnancy can be.Because of the unique nature of a spirit child, it primarily cultivates essence, qi, and spirit. It only starts to rapidly grow skin and flesh in its final stag...The horn sounded far and clear, echoing across mountains and through the mists.
Even in a tiny training room in Nanshan, I could be woken by this sound.
Mu Wanchen was already up. The moment I saw him, he looked back at me.
He had his back to me, putting on his robes, and glanced at me over his shoulder, a light smile playing on his lips. "Are you up for it, my little princess The ceremony has just begun."
"Uh… wasn't the altar just trashed yesterday Is it usable again today" I rubbed my eyes and sat up.
My back and legs are aching, I just want to go back to sleep.
Mu Wanchen picked up his cloak and wrapped me in it, then lifted me up and walked away, saying lightly, "Of course it can be used. Today is the sacrifice, how could there be any mistakes"
I didn't want to move, so I just hugged his shoulder and stayed curled up against his neck, continuing to sleep. He covered me with the hood of his cloak and carried me out.
The maidservants on the road saw him and bowed their heads slightly, without a word, escorting him all the way to the mountain gate.
A halo descended from the sky at the mountain gate, and Ji Dou Xingjun, acting all carefree and lazy, swaggered out of the halo carrying his sword.
This star deity must be missing his little disciple again.
Mu Wanchen and Ji Doudou both saw each other, but there was no expression on their faces, they just walked away.
Is the relationship this strained Ji Dou Xingjun is that kind of rebellious celestial being. Although proud and arrogant, he has never had that superior or condescending attitude.
He gets along well with ordinary people, so why does he seem to ignore Mu Wanchen
As they brushed past each other, Ji suddenly went cold and said, “...The method has broken.”
"Hmm." Mu Wanchen replied in a low voice.
The Celestial Emperor of Jiù lightly hummed, then without another word, left.
Is this conversation between the two of them so strange
"...Your relationship isn't good, is it" I couldn't help but ask.
"Hmm There's nothing good or bad about it." Mu Wanchen replied indifferently, "He often frequents the Fa Men and always puts on a show. It's neither good nor bad, right"
"I think he likes Younan a lot."
Mu Wanchen chuckled softly and shook his head. "Yes, because You Nan calls him master, he's very satisfied... A day as a teacher is a lifetime as a father, after all. He's considered equal to Master."
Aha, so there's another layer to this.
These immortals are pretty cute too.
"Yunan's little disciple is so cute, acting like a big person. You spoil him so much! Was it you who pinched him that day He thought he did it himself, and the proud look on his face was so adorable... And Guiyue is also cute! Even though Lanxi made her junior sister quite angry, she's still fair-skinned, soft, and nimble. Each one of them is a little ancestor~~" I giggled and leaned into Mu Wanchen's ear.
"Well, you're my little ancestor too," he replied in a deep voice.
It's just awful.
Being so earnest when you're confessing your feelings, I can't resist.
I really want to discuss with him whether or not we need contraception, but I feel like it's pointless!
Look at how much the Witch Clan values new life, and you'll know their attitude towards contraception... Mu Wanchen doesn't seem to have any concept of this issue. He thinks it's natural to leave those things in my body.
Husband and wife yin yang embrace pregnancy to conceive life is the natural order, perhaps, the person who needs to change their thinking is me.
Since I've decided to be with him, it doesn't matter what I consider anymore, just do whatever.
I reached out and hugged him tightly, taking a bite of his ear. He didn't flinch, letting me gnaw on him.
“Xiao Lu’er, later you will need to change your clothes and style your hair. Then, follow the elder to pay respects to the sun, moon, heaven, earth, mountains, rivers, and finally accept the greetings. Tonight is the grand ceremony, tomorrow is the feast. You will be very busy these two days. If you want to throw a tantrum, come find me, don’t get angry with those old men, they are very rigid.” Mu Wanchen instructed me.
"Oh, do I still need some blood gu to give me"
"No."
That's fine, I don't want any kind of蠱. Even if it was given out of kindness, I wouldn't want it.
"So many outsiders, are they all living in the Witch King's City It seems that Si Huang and her people have also come in large numbers."
They have their own dragon boats.
I was a little curious. As soon as I got back to my room, I couldn't help but feel restless in my change of clothes. I was eager to see what the Dragon Boat Tower was like.
Little Zhu Jin, a young girl, asked: "Princess, why aren't you wearing your cloak"
"I won't wear it, I'll put it on for the ceremony later. I'm going out for a walk first." I grabbed my small handbag and ran out of the room.
The stone room, which was once plain and cold, is now piled high with luxurious decorations. I think Mu Wanchen must have misunderstood something - I'm not the kind of girl who explodes with girly hearts! He made the room soft and fluffy everywhere, so I could pounce into a cotton ball at any time.
After walking through several stone corridors, I roughly understood the structure of this place—the upper half of the cliff city is the Witch King's palace, and the dividing line is that protruding giant stone platform.
Below the platform are various houses and courtyards, like a 3D magical city.
That's where it began, with all sorts of strange nooks and crannies inlaid with copper mirrors.
There was a huge intersection with three paths. I saw a whole U-shaped copper mirror embedded in the mountain wall at the intersection, at least a few meters long.
What is the point of this decoration
Now the sky is bright, and there are many people around busy with their own lives. I gathered my courage and stepped forward to observe.
A copper mirror, even when reflecting a person clearly, would blur their features. You could see the outline of a person, but skin tones would appear yellowish and indistinct. From a distance, only a distorted silhouette would be visible.
A slight coolness emanated from the mirror, reflecting the houses and roads in this place.
A hazy figure flickered past, and for a moment I felt a bit dizzy — was this the reflection in the mirror
The rippling surface of the cool mirror showed more and more swaying figures. I wanted to wipe the mirror with my sleeve.
As soon as he raised his hand, a loud voice came from behind him: "Little Princess! Don't touch those mirrors!"
I turned my head to look at him and asked, "This mirror is a little dusty, don't you guys clean it"
"Don't touch it." Little Brother Liang ran over and grabbed my sleeve, saying, "This mirror is useful, don't mess with it."
“What use is this” I raised an eyebrow. “I always see these mirrors hazy, and at night when the lights reflect, it’s even more blurry and eerie, making me feel like I’m seeing ghosts. It’s so scary, why don't you clean them up a bit”
Liang Xiaogē pouted and stammered, "……Everyone said it's useful! What's the point of asking so many questions…"
"Well, I heard there's a ghost town here. Where is it Take me to see."
"Cough cough cough! What ghost city" Liang Xiaoge looked like he was about to explode.
None I don't believe it.
Mu Wanchen said that I could act freely. What's wrong Little Brother Liang, are you still treating me like an outsider
"Dare not..."
"Then tell me, where is the Ghost City"
“……It’s really far away.” Liang Xiaogge’s eyes flickered a little: “Several years ago, a ghost princess who had lived for hundreds of years occupied a village here. She brought her ghostly subordinates to build a city. We have already cleaned it up. Is the ghost city you mentioned this one”
Liang Xiaoge put on a nonchalant expression: "It's already deserted there. If you want to go, I can take people with you to have a look." quite busy and still manages to spend time with me. I didn't expect him not to use any force to make me go back with him.I thought he'd lose patience soon, but now it seems he doesn't complain about...
