My mother found a lover
Hearing this, Yan looked at Qian Mengfeng helplessly and said, " Feng'er, I've said it many times, there is the aura of the Angel lineage in your bloodline, which is theoretically the same as His Majesty's. That's why His Majesty adopted you as his daughter. Don't casually mention this, as it will sadden many children who are truly unable to be adopted for various reasons."
" Feng'er understands." Qian Mengfeng nodded seriously, her big black eyes blinking.
" Feng'er, would you like Uncle Jun to take you to see your mother?"
"Yes, yes!" Qian Mengfeng shouted happily.
"Then, Yan, you should go back first. I'm going to the palace to see Xue'er," Jun Yi said, turning to Yan.
"Alright, then I'll take my leave." Yan cupped his hands in greeting, turned, and left. Jun Yi then led Qian Mengfeng towards the palace.
Inside the Imperial Study of the Martial Soul Palace, Qian Renxue looked at the mountain of memorials, a hint of anger flashing in her eyes. Today was supposed to be her day off, but the Sun Moon Empire suddenly went back on its word and wanted to break the "agreement" they had made, ruining her chance to rest.
"Your Majesty, you seem to be in a bad mood. You need something to cheer you up." Just as Qian Renxue was feeling a bit irritable, Jun Yi's voice suddenly rang out. "Hmm?" Qian Renxue looked at Jun Yi with some confusion, because at this moment Jun Yi was holding a little girl with short blonde hair in his left arm, while holding a bowl of steaming porridge in his right hand.
"Have some porridge first. It must have been hard work cooking all morning." Jun Yi placed the bowl of porridge in front of Qian Renxue, and then placed Qian Mengfeng next to her.
"Mommy, do you want me to feed you?" Qian Mengfeng asked, stretching out her little hand that was holding the ladle.
"I can do it myself, Feng'er." Qian Renxue smiled gently, took the spoon from Qian Mengfeng, and teased Qian Mengfeng while drinking her porridge, instantly enlivening the somewhat serious atmosphere.
"By the way, Xue'er, what's going on with the Sun Moon Empire?" Jun Yi asked, sitting in his chair and looking at Qian Renxue and Qian Mengfeng.
Hearing Jun Yi's words, Qian Renxue said while drinking her porridge, "Their emperor suddenly went mad, feeling that the conditions we proposed were exploitative, so he wants to fight us." "Exploitative?"
Jun Yi was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "The Sun Moon Empire is too naive. They think they're exploiting us by asking us to open a few trading cities? I think they're just jealous of our goods and want to make a quick buck."
"That's what I was thinking too, so I've decided to send someone to negotiate. Are you going?" Qian Renxue asked Jun Yi in return.
"Me? I'm not going. I'm free right now, and nobody can tell me what to do." Jun Yi
"I have a lot of things to do, you should find someone else." Jun Yi waved his hand repeatedly.
"Alright then." Qian Renxue didn't mind, fed Qian Mengfeng another spoonful of porridge, and then said, "Sigh, what good are you? I raised you all these years, and you can't even handle this little thing."
"What are you saying? Without me, you don't know what would have happened. You might have ended up in a terrible state." Jun Yi knew Qian Renxue was joking with him and wasn't angry.
"Tch, I don't believe it." Qian Renxue gently wiped Qian Mengfeng's lips and laughed, " Sister Xue'er, why don't you adopt a boy again, so you can have both a son and a daughter? That would be great." Jun Yi asked.
"Adopt another boy? I don't want to find another lover for my mother." Qian Renxue rested her arms on the table, propped her chin up with her hands, and smiled at Jun Yi. "Besides, I already have both a son and a daughter, don't you think?"
"Ahem, let's not talk about that. Um, I'm taking Feng'er out for a walk. You can stay here and do your work," Jun Yi said somewhat awkwardly.
"No need, I'll take care of Feng'er. You go and keep Niannian company," Qian Renxue said.
"Alright, I'm leaving then." Jun Yi transformed into a beam of light and fled. Watching Jun Yi flee in disarray, Qian Renxue mocked, "Still as easily amused as before."
On the other side, Jun Yi left the palace and went directly to a mountain Spirit City. Upon entering the mountain, he saw the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, which emitted extreme cold and heat, as well as countless exotic flowers and herbs. At this moment, three figures were sitting not far from the Ice and Fire Cold Pool, playing Go.
The three were none other than Dugu Bo, Yue Guan, and Gui Mei, who had already "retired." On the chessboard, Dugu Bo and Yue Guan were playing against each other. At this moment, Yue Guan was playing black. He squinted his eyes and stared carefully at the chessboard through his glasses. After careful consideration, he finally made up his mind and placed the black piece in a corner of the chessboard.
Seeing Yue Guan his move, Dugu Bo's eyes lit up slightly, as if he had planned it all along, and he placed his white piece in the upper left corner of the chessboard.
" Old Poison, your chess skills are getting better and better." Yue Guan showed a hint of regret on his face, as if he regretted not seeing the situation clearly.
"It's not that I've gotten taller, it's that you've gotten worse," Dugu Bo laughed.
"The dragon's head has been severed. It seems I've lost this game again. Old Ghost, is there any way I can salvage this?" Yue Guan looked up at the Gui Mei, seeking his help.
"Hey, Old Chrysanthemum, the saying goes 'one should not speak while watching a game,' you're directly breaking the rules," Dugu Bo stopped him.
" Old Poison, this isn't fun. Fine, fine, I concede." Yue Guan stood up, picked up the few black pieces that had fallen on the chessboard, and placed them in the lower right corner of the board, indicating that he was conceding.
As the loser, Yue Guan had the Gui Mei temporarily seal his Soul Power, then took out a jar of fine wine from his Storage Soul Tool, and the three of them sat down in the pavilion by the cold pool.
Yue Guan poured the wine into two cups, then picked up the entire wine jar and said helplessly to Dugu Bo, " Old Poison, a bet's a bet. You drink it, I'll drink it however I want."
Dugu Bo picked up a cup, clinked it against Yue Guan's wine jar, then downed the wine in one gulp, saying, "That was refreshing!"
The Gui Mei beside him picked up his wine glass, downed it in one gulp, and said nothing more.
" Grandpa Dugu, what are you betting on?" Jun Yi stepped forward and asked the three of them.
"Huh? Jun Yi, when did you arrive?" Dugu Bo quickly picked up the chair that had been prepared for Gui Mei and placed it in front of Jun Yi.
As Dugu Bo spoke, he poured Jun Yi a glass of wine. "Come on, drink up. This is wine brewed by Old Chrysanthemum. Don't let his effeminate appearance fool you; the wine he brews is incredibly strong." "Thank you Grandpa Dugu," Jun Yi said softly, taking the glass.
"Hey, Old Poison, who are you calling effeminate? I call this refined! Understand? Refined!"
