"Youlan, I've already fallen out with my family. You..."
Qian Yunxiao had not expected Shui Youlan to arrive so quickly.
He was delighted, because it showed that he was important in Shui Youlan's heart. Otherwise, how could she have come so soon after Qian Daoliu left?
Clearly, she cared about him too much.
But Qian Yunxiao was still somewhat unsure.
What if this woman had only gotten close to him because of his Spirit Hall status?
Now that he had fallen out with Qian Daoliu, it would be funny if Shui Youlan put on some kind of "breakup" act with him.
"I know Qian Yunxiao, not some Spirit Hall!"
Shui Youlan answered loudly, practically shouting.
Ah Yin probably understood that Shui Youlan still had not given up on her husband.
As the saying went, true feelings were revealed in hardship.
When facing Qian Daoliu's threat, Ah Yin had seen just how deeply her husband loved her.
Now that her husband had fallen on hard times, she had also witnessed Shui Youlan's... devotion to him.
Originally, Ah Yin had wanted to keep Qian Yunxiao all to herself.
That was why, during their honeymoon, Ah Yin had taken the initiative to squeeze Qian Yunxiao dry, leaving him no chance to go out and fool around.
Though even that had failed to achieve its purpose.
Now, for various reasons—
Ah Yin intended to share.
Shui Youlan was worthy of her Hall Master.
"Youlan, thank you for caring about Hall Master. I... I'm feeling a little unwell, so I'll go back and rest first. Hall Master, Sister Youlan seems to have a lot she wants to say to you. Keep her company."
After considering it, Ah Yin finally stood up.
Qian Yunxiao hurried over to support her. "I'll take you back."
But Ah Yin waved him off. "No, no, Hall Master. I'm not that delicate."
Qian Yunxiao paid her no mind and directly took Ah Yin's hand, saying sternly, "You're my wife. Am I not even allowed to take you back?"
With that one sentence, Ah Yin lost all will to resist and allowed Qian Yunxiao to support her as they left.
"Youlan, thank you for your concern."
As he passed Shui Youlan, Qian Yunxiao still thanked her.
Before Shui Youlan could respond, Qian Yunxiao had already helped Ah Yin away.
It hurt Shui Youlan deeply.
Could it be... that Qian Yunxiao truly had no feelings for her anymore? Seeing how intimate Qian Yunxiao and Ah Yin were—
Shui Youlan suddenly felt a little regretful.
If only... if only she had not resisted in the office and had silently allowed Qian Yunxiao to do as he pleased.
Then things would not have turned out like this, would they? Seeing that Qian Yunxiao had kept his distance from Shui Youlan, Ah Yin knew that her husband was faithful to her.
It seemed she really had to... take the initiative and act on Qian Yunxiao's behalf!
Tomorrow, she would find time to have a proper talk with Shui Youlan!
She only hoped her husband would not blame her.
After taking Ah Yin back to her room and laying her down on the bed—
Ah Yin could not help asking, "Hall Master, you fell out with your father and brother because of me. Don't you regret it?"
Qian Yunxiao answered truthfully, "The only thing I would regret is letting you get hurt. Don't worry. Once our child is born, they will definitely be the finest child in this world. By then, those people will be the ones regretting it—regretting why they didn't welcome you back into Spirit Hall sooner!"
That one sentence made Ah Yin completely happy.
That night, Ah Yin could not fall asleep for a long time.
Looking at the sleeping Qian Yunxiao, Ah Yin's resolve grew even firmer.
It had been half a month... half a month since she had let her Hall Master find any pleasure.
At this rate, she probably would not be able to for several months in a row.
This could not go on. She had to find her Hall Master a... replacement for herself!
Qian Yunxiao no longer needed to go to Spirit Hall.
He did not want to deal with anything now. He only wanted to stay peacefully by Ah Yin's side until she gave birth to their child.
The next day, Ah Yin insisted on going out alone.
Qian Yunxiao tried hard to stop her but failed, and could only agree to Ah Yin's request.
After Ah Yin left, Qian Yunxiao lay directly on the bed and sighed. "My plan has probably succeeded!"
After marrying him, Ah Yin had rarely left the house.
Even when she did go out, she always asked him to accompany her.
Yet now, she had suddenly gone out alone for a walk.
Qian Yunxiao felt that his plan had probably worked.
Ah Yin... in the end, her heart was simply too soft! He only needed to wait at home for Ah Yin's good news.
Lying on the bed, Qian Yunxiao spread his arms and gauged its size.
"Not bad, not bad. Three people would fit without any problem."
There were not many beautiful women in Skywater City now.
Getting Shui Youlan from a four-star beauty card was already good enough. Qian Yunxiao did not ask for too much.
Ah Yin had indeed intended to go to Skywater Academy to find Shui Youlan.
But unexpectedly, she was stopped halfway there. In the crowd, Qing Wu looked at Ah Yin with a serious expression.
Since Ah Yin was pregnant, the soul beast aura on her body was difficult to conceal.
Qing Wu, passing by, sensed the aura of one of her kind and followed the scent here.
Qing Wu was Xiao Wu's mother.
Xiao Wu still had some time before she could take human form.
Qing Wu wanted to ask Ah Yin, a member of her kind who was pregnant, about her experience, and also ask about matters concerning humans.
After Xiao Wu took human form, she would definitely be a human infant.
Qing Wu had no experience, so she had come to learn from Ah Yin.
After confirming that no powerful people were around Ah Yin, Qing Wu finally approached her, putting on the appearance of having met Ah Yin by chance.
The moment Ah Yin encountered Qing Wu, she immediately sensed it.
The woman before her was... one of her kind! "You..."
Ah Yin never could have imagined that she would meet one of her kind here.
"Hello~"
Compared to Ah Yin's purity, Qing Wu carried a trace more charm.
Qing Wu's eyelashes were somewhat long and slender, while the corners of her mouth were distinctly shaped.
For some reason, Ah Yin felt that those cherry-like lips seemed capable of swallowing something enormous.
Originally, Ah Yin had not planned to deal with a woman who looked so seductive.
But Qing Wu was one of her kind.
So Ah Yin brought Qing Wu aside to exchange some experiences.
To learn a little about each other.
After all, they were both soul beasts who had taken human form. There should not be any grudge between them, right?
Once they started talking, they found they got along immediately.
It was not until evening that Ah Yin and Qing Wu parted ways.
"Is this man... really that good? Better than a soul beast?"
Watching Ah Yin leave, Qing Wu muttered to herself.
In front of Qing Wu, Ah Yin had thoroughly shown off how much her husband loved her and how happy she was.
It even made Qing Wu jealous.
Qing Wu had once had a very unhappy relationship.
When she was fifty years old, she had met Scumbag Rabbit.
But that was all in the past. Not only had she forgotten it completely—
She was human now, a human through and through, with nothing to do with rabbits.
"Oh no, I'm back so late. Xiao Wu must be worried."
Qing Wu came back to her senses.
She hurriedly left Skywater City and ran toward the forest.
She had come out this time to buy some human things to take back and cheer Xiao Wu up.
She had already been delayed for quite a while.
Ah Yin returned home with a smile all over her face.
When Qian Yunxiao saw it, he thought to himself, It's probably settled, then? Third update. Please support me, everyone!
I recommend a book, Cao Thief's "Douluo: My Godmother Is the Pope!"
The author's name and book title say it all.
