"Am I still alive? Where is this?"

On the bed, Xiao Yi Xian slowly opened her eyes, stunned as she took in her surroundings.

Her final memory stopped at the moment the Amethyst Winged Lion King appeared.

When the intense pressure of the Tier 6 Magical Beast struck, she had been unable to resist and had fainted instantly.

"Awake? Eat something."

At this moment, a gentle male voice came from nearby.

Xiao Yi Xian sat up and saw a familiar figure sitting at a table not far away.

"Xiao Yu? You saved me?" Xiao Yi Xian was very surprised, her eyes filled with a touch of emotion; she had not expected to see him again.

After moving closer, Xiao Yi Xian's gaze was quickly drawn to the child in Xiao Yu's arms.

He was less than a year old, tiny in stature, with round, rolling eyes and chubby little cheeks.

Seeing Xiao Yi Xian, the toddler stretched out his hands, waving them about while babbling incoherently.

Xiao Yi Xian sat down, curious, "Whose child is this? How adorable."

"Very cute, right? His name is Xiao Fan, my son." Hearing someone praise his son, Xiao Yu smiled happily.

"Your son?"

Xiao Yi Xian looked surprised, then her expression returned to normal.

She remembered that Xiao Yu had married very early; although he was not old, he had already been married for nearly two years.

Little Xiao Fan was making a fuss in Xiao Yu's arms, struggling constantly.

"You brat, keep on acting up. Once you're two years older, you'll get what's coming to you." Xiao Yu feigned ferocity.

"What kind of father are you?" Xiao Yi Xian glared at him indignantly before taking little Xiao Fan from Xiao Yu's arms.

The child stopped crying immediately.

This amused Xiao Yi Xian; she hadn't had much contact with children, but she found them all adorable and innocent.

Seeing his son stop crying and fussing, Xiao Yu abandoned his plan to send him to the wet nurse.

To take care of the child, the Xiao Clan had hired many wet nurses.

At this moment, a faint sound of pain came from the bed on the other side.

"Who is that?" Xiao Yi Xian glanced over.

Xiao Yu said, "The person who fought the Amethyst Winged Lion King."

He stood up and walked over, seeing Yun Yun slowly open her eyes, a look of tension and unease on her pale face.

Subsequently, Yun Yun asked the same question as Xiao Yi Xian.

Xiao Yu told them they were currently in his home.

Over the next two days, Yun Yun and Xiao Yi Xian stayed temporarily at the Xiao Clan.

Xiao Yi Xian had been very worried about her magical beast, Xiao Lan, but breathed a sigh of relief when she saw it safe and sound in the courtyard.

During this period, Ya Fei and Li Qian came to check on the two of them.

As the Sect Leader of the Misty Cloud Sect, Yun Yun possessed an extraordinary temperament; despite her injuries, she still exuded a coldness that kept people at a distance.

However, her strength was currently sealed, and apart from Xiao Yi Xian knowing she was a powerhouse capable of battling the Amethyst Winged Lion King, the other two were unaware.

At dusk.

The four of them sat in the courtyard pavilion.

Xiao Yi Xian held little Xiao Fan in her arms; she had grown very fond of him over the past two days.

Li Qian held her newborn daughter in her arms.

Servants of the Xiao Clan bustled back and forth, hanging red lanterns from the eaves.

Every face wore a festive expression.

"Xiao Qian, Sister Ya Fei, is someone in the Xiao Clan getting married?" Xiao Yi Xian withdrew her gaze and looked at them curiously.

Beside her, Yun Yun, who called herself Yun Zhi, also showed a hint of interest on her cold face.

She had always cultivated in the Misty Cloud Sect and rarely participated in such secular activities; usually, for birthday celebrations of families with good relations to the sect, she would simply send elders or arrange for disciples to express her regards.

Because her seal had not yet been lifted, she had to settle in the Xiao Clan for these two days.

Yun Yun was very surprised that Xiao Yu had been able to save her.

In her understanding, Xiao Yu was merely a Dou Shi; how could he have saved her from the hands of the Amethyst Winged Lion King?

Although she was very curious, Yun Yun had not asked yet, as she was waiting for her own strength to recover.

Such matters were surely personal secrets, and she worried that asking would cause Xiao Yu to resent her, putting herself in danger.

Ya Fei and Li Qian exchanged a glance.

Ya Fei looked at Xiao Yi Xian, "You don't know?"

Xiao Yi Xian looked blank and shook her head.

Li Qian looked at Yun Yun, "Miss Yun Zhi, you don't know either?"

"Why would I know?" Yun Yun was slightly stunned and asked in return.

Just then, several servants happened to be walking toward the pavilion.

"Miss Yun Zhi, Miss Xiao Yi Xian, please come with us to be measured for your clothes."

The older woman in the lead said to the two with a smile.

Xiao Yi Xian and Yun Yun were both bewildered.

"Try what clothes?" Yun Yun regained her senses, feeling very confused, and a bad premonition gradually grew in her heart.

The servant explained, "Tomorrow is the day of your grand wedding with the Young Clan Head. You two must wear wedding attire, so we need to determine the sizes now to rush the production."

"Wh-what? A grand wedding? With the Young Clan Head? With Xiao Yu? How come I don't know about this?"

Hearing her words, Xiao Yi Xian stood up abruptly, looking completely panicked and at a loss.

Beside her, Yun Yun could not sit still either, her face covered in frost, "Where is Xiao Yu? I want to find him!"

The servant had not expected such a strong reaction from the two.

Especially the aura of a superior radiating from Yun Yun, which made her feel even more flustered.

"The Young Clan Head should be at the back mountain right now." She subconsciously pointed toward the distant peak.

Yun Yun pushed the servant aside and hurried toward the back mountain.

"Sister Ya Fei, there must be some misunderstanding here, I'll be leaving for a moment."

Xiao Yi Xian did not forget to hand little Xiao Fan over to Ya Fei first before following closely in Yun Yun's footsteps.

Not long after, the two arrived at the back mountain and followed the mountain path upward.

"Xiao Yu! Xiao Yu! You better come out right now!"

"Xiao Yu, get out here!"

Compared to Xiao Yi Xian's temper, Yun Yun was not nearly as polite.

She was the dignified Sect Leader of the Misty Cloud Sect; to be inexplicably married off to the Young Clan Head of the Xiao Clan in Wutan City—what kind of nonsense was this?

Did anyone ask for her consent?

If Xiao Yu could not give her a satisfactory answer today, once her strength was restored, there would be no need for this Xiao Clan to exist!

Yun Yun's expression was icy, and a dense chill radiated from her entire body.

Xiao Yi Xian could not help but move a little further away from Yun Yun.

She felt a bit aggrieved at this moment as well.

For something as important as marriage, could Xiao Yu not even discuss it with her?

Xiao Yi Xian realized that she did not actually hate Xiao Yu that much, but making such a decision without consulting her was, to some extent, disrespectful.

"You two, what is making you so angry?"

The two women heard the voice and looked up, seeing the figure sitting by a boulder above.

Yun Yun rushed up immediately.

"When did I ever say I would marry you?" Yun Yun stared coldly at Xiao Yu, her hand itching to hold a sword and press it against his neck.

Xiao Yu looked at her calmly, "I saved you, and you are offering your body in return as repayment. What is the problem?"

"A mere Xiao Clan, and you think you are worthy of this Sect Leader offering her body in return?" Yun Yun's willow brows furrowed; if her own strength were not sealed, she would have almost wanted to slap the youth before her to death.

One had to know, this boy's third brother had a marriage contract with her disciple, Nalan Yanran.

I, marrying the younger brother of my disciple's fiancé to be his wife? If that really happened, how would the master and disciple meet and get along in the future?

"Xiao Yi Xian, you go back first. Be good, behave." Xiao Yu did not rush to respond, but instead said gently to Xiao Yi Xian.

"Oh." Originally having a belly full of words to question him, Xiao Yi Xian saw that the situation was not right and actually listened obediently, turning to leave.
