"A secret? What secret? Oh, of course, I was thinking about it." Xu Chang’an blinked, then froze, his smile stiffening on his face.
"You said you were thinking about it." Yun Qian looked at him.
"No." Xu Chang’an argued.
"No?" Yun Qian’s disheveled hair cascaded down as she listened to Xu Chang’an’s accelerating heartbeat and said, "You can’t fool me."
"Alright." Xu Chang’an sighed, gently smoothing Yun Qian’s hair, feeling the seemingly indifferent wife squinting slightly, and said, "It turns out I’m the one who’s being played."
Yun Qian was a bit puzzled, but Xu Chang’an didn’t give her a chance to speak. He led her towards her boudoir, her squinted eyes opened slightly, looking at the gradually dimming fire stone in the room.
A quarter of an hour is the limit.
However, if the flow of time is not fixed.
Then, how long exactly is a quarter of an hour in her mouth?
Hmm... It still depends on Miss Yun’s state, at least she’s quite happy today, so she’ll try to extend it, even if it turns into half an hour, it’s progress.
In the empty bathroom, steam rose, some cold water dripped from the ceiling, falling into the pool, causing a ripple.
A chime rang from far to near, dispelling the sluggish air, and spiritual qi became active with the sound waves, sweeping over Celestial Bright Peak, waking a few people up.
As the first ray of sunlight hit the courtyard, Xu Chang’an opened his eyes.
As usual, the sleeping Yun Qian clasped his hand tightly.
At this moment, Yun Qian was curled up, her breath revealing a hint of white teeth, it could be seen from her brows that she showed a bit of weakness.
Quietly staring at the evenly breathing Miss Yun, Xu Chang’an was unblinking.
Slowly exerting spiritual power, he enveloped Yun Qian with water vapor, trying his best to help her regain her strength.
He had already initially experienced the prowess of water attribute spiritual qi, which didn’t need any processing to clear stains and could have a small restorative effect on ordinary people.
Maybe... he could consider changing careers to become a healer in the future?
Yes, a battle healer is still a healer.
Xu Chang’an gently shook his head, thinking about last night’s events, a trace of helplessness in his brows and eyes.
Yun Qian’s question, "Do you want to know my secret?" was truly a killer.
He naturally wanted to know her mysterious origins, so he directly said he wanted to, but after thinking it through for a moment, he realized what Miss Yun was implying.
The two had agreed that as long as Miss Yun could conceive, she would tell him all the secrets.
So the sentence from last night wasn’t really about secrets.
Indeed, he was the one who was being played.
Looking at Yun Qian’s exquisite features, Xu Chang’an thought that this girl wasn’t the foolish one; the foolish person had always only been himself.
There’s also one thing he miscalculated.
Feeling the weight of half of Miss Yun’s body on his arm, Xu Chang’an twitched the corner of his mouth.
He just thought about leaving early today without waking Yun Qian, but forgot about Miss Yun’s sleeping posture.
It’s simple; just wake her up. Anyway, Yun Qian is sleepy, and she’s likely to go back to sleep after saying a word in reply.
Xu Chang’an wrapped his arms around Yun Qian, and earnestly said beside her ear, "Miss, I have to leave."
In her sleep, Yun Qian’s breath paused.
Suddenly, a clap of thunder exploded above, the sky was lit up as if it were daylight.
Then, darkness enveloped everything; pouring rain fell, accompanied by thunder and lightning, the entire Chaoyun Sect was completely covered by the heavy rain.
Miss Yun opened her eyes, the haze mixed with a hint of coldness.
